First Bank Nigeria Plc is unarguably one of Nigeria's oldest banks. It is also one of the country's most-reliable financial institutions. First Bank has been in operation since the 19th century, and has already established itself as a financial giant in Nigeria, Africa and indeed the rest of the world.
First bank's mobile banking services are one of the best in the country presently. They are user-friendly and easy to master. They also provide ease of transacting for all their customers. Unlike before when customers would have to go to their bank branches every time they had transactions to carry out, first bank's mobile banking service alleviates the burden of always having to physically visit the bank branch for transactions. They have made basic day-to-day transactions available for the customers to perform from the comfort of their homes and/or offices.
Even though the mobile banking service makes it easier for customers to monitor activities on their accounts and make basic transactions, it is worthy to note that there are still a few things that customers would have to go to the bank to do. The following is a run-down of all the services that are available on the mobile banking platform, and also those that are not available there.
Services available on mobile banking services
- Account Opening
- Money transfer
- Account Balance Enquiry
- Card less Withdrawal
- Airtime recharge
- Data Recharge
- Bills payment
And a few others.
Services that are not available on mobile banking services include:
- Depositing of cheques
- Printing of bank statements
- Uploading of passport photograph and other sensitive details on to the account
- Overdraft withdrawals
How to make transfers on First Bank Mobile Money Transfer Service
Making of transfers on the mobile banking service is very easy. The system makes use of a special code known as the USSD code. Customers must dial the USSD code of the bank before they would be able to access their accounts on the bank. The unique USSD code for First Bank is *894#.
The beautiful part about mobile money transfer is that one does not need to have internet access to make transactions. Once you have a phone that is GPRS/EDGE/CDMA enables, you are food to go.
Before the transfer can be successful, three things must be in place.
- The phone number that is registered with the bank must be available.
- There must be sufficient money in the account to make the transaction
- The USSD code must be dialed from the registered phone number, and the instruction must be followed to the letter.
How to transfer money – First bank to First Bank and other Banks without Internet
Follow this process to transfer money from your first bank account to other accounts:
- Dial *894*the amount*the beneficiary's account number#
- Follow the command and set the destination bank account name
- Confirm the details on your screen before proceeding. The name and bank of the beneficiary will be displayed, as well as the amount you are sending and the receiver's account number.
- You will be required to authenticate the transaction by entering your unique PIN number. However, if this is your first transaction, you will be required to set a new pin and also create a unique code that will be used to authenticate all transfers. This process is very straight-forward.
This is the process by which you can make transfers from your account to other accounts, whether they are accounts of first bank, or accounts of other banks.
It is also very important to note that you must only use the number that is registered with the bank (that is, the number that you receive transaction alerts on) for this transaction. It will be a waste of time to try to use another number to access your account; and it will also be a waste of time to try to use your own number to access another person's account. Security on the mobile banking system is quote tight, so there is no room for fraudsters to perpetuate their nefarious activities.

App Designer
Create desktop and web apps in MATLAB
App Designer lets you create professional apps without having to be a professional software developer. Drag and drop visual components to lay out the design of your graphical user interface (GUI) and use the integrated editor to quickly program its behavior.
Share your apps using MATLAB Drive™, or by creating standalone desktop or web apps with MATLAB Compiler™ and Simulink Compiler™.
App Building
Use an integrated environment to lay out the user interface and write the code for your app's behavior.
Building Your App
App Designer integrates the two primary tasks of app building – laying out the visual components of a graphical user interface (GUI) and programming app behavior. It is the recommended environment for building apps in MATLAB.
If you have existing apps built in GUIDE*, you can use GUIDE to App Designer Migration Tool for MATLAB to migrate your existing GUIDE apps to App Designer.
* GUIDE will be removed in a future release.
Design a User Interface
Drag and drop visual components to the design canvas and use alignment hints to get a precise layout. App Designer automatically generates the object-oriented code that specifies the app's layout and design.
Define App Behavior
Use the integrated version of the MATLAB Editor to define your app's behavior. App Designer can automatically check for coding problems using the Code Analyzer. You can view warning and error messages about your code as you're writing it, and modify your app based on the messages.
App Components
Build modern, full-featured applications using the rich set of components and custom interactions available in App Designer.
Component Library
Build apps with standard components such as buttons, check boxes, trees, and drop-down lists. App Designer also provides controls such as gauges, lamps, knobs, and switches that let you replicate the look and actions of instrumentation panels. You can also use container components, such as tabs, panels, and grid layouts to organize your user interface.
Component Interactions
Add component callbacks and custom mouse and keyboard interactions that execute when a user interacts with your app. Use 2D and 3D plots, as well as tables, in your app to allow users to interactively explore data.
App Sharing
Share apps with other users – even if they don't have MATLAB.
Share Apps with Other MATLAB Users
Package any MATLAB app into a single file that can be easily shared with other users using MATLAB Desktop and MATLAB Online. When you package an app, MATLAB creates a single app installation file (.mlappinstall). The installation file enables you and others to install your app and access it with a single-click from the apps gallery.
You can then share your app with other MATLAB users through MATLAB Online and MATLAB Drive, allowing them to run and collaborate on your app design by extending permission to edit your files.
Create Standalone Desktop and Web Apps
Create standalone applications using MATLAB Compiler and Simulink Compiler to share them royalty-free with other users. You can also package your apps as interactive web apps and share them using MATLAB Web App Server.

23. "Archie Is Branded," All in the Family (1973)
Welcome to the "100 Best Sitcom Episodes of All Time," a countdown for 2012. Each episode will get a separate blog post, counting backward toward No. 1. A list of the programs revealed so far is here (and on Pinterest), and an introduction to the project is here.
It's tough to imagine a TV show in 2012 using a swastika to start a conversation. South Park and It's Always Sunny in Philadephia might use it as a sick joke, and a CBS crime procedural might use it to heighten the repulsiveness of a serial killer, but in either case, the Nazi symbol would probably just be a fleeting shock. "Archie Is Branded" manages to use the swastika as both a comic prop and a dramatic plot device.
Edith: (looking in horror at the swastika painted on the Bunkers' front door) Who did that?
Archie: I don't know, Edith, the artist didn't sign it.
As I wrote in "Ten episodes that show how All In The Family changed television," at the A.V. Club, "Archie Is Branded" almost plays as a Twilight Zone installment, both in the eeriness of the situation and in the moral parable with a Rod Serling-like ending. Which makes it all the more impressive that Vin Bogart's script is also so damn funny.
Archie discovers the swastika on his front door while retrieving the Sunday newspaper from the porch, after his morning has already been unpleasantly disrupted by an air raid siren alarm clock. (Edith set it so she could get a head start on baking a cake; poor Archie says, "I was already halfway to the toilet before I remembered I didn't have to get up.")
Mike: What's going on?
Archie: Look at the door.
Mike: (dumbly looking at the door from the inside) Yeah?
Archie: You meathead, open the door and look at the outside of it.
Mike: You didn't tell me to open the door. All you said was look at the door. You didn't say "Open the door and look at it from the outside." All you said was "look at the door."
Archie: OPEN THE DAMN DOOR AND LOOK AT THE OUTSIDE OF IT!
While waiting for the police to arrive, the Bunkers discover a threatening note on the porch ("We'll be back") and argue over the motives of the vandals, with Archie pointing a finger at his son-in-law.
Archie: Maybe because you live here!
Mike: That's crazy!
Archie: It ain't so crazy! You're always mixed up in those things where you're carrying signs around; maybe somebody's here to pin a sign on you.
Edith: Oh, Archie, I don't think that could be right.
Mike: Thanks, Ma.
Edith: I don't think anybody cares what Mike does.
Mike: (less gratefully) Thanks, Ma.
After a bomb scare (with one of All in the Family's funniest payoffs — "My cake is done!"), the Bunkers are visited by a turtle-necked tough guy named Paul (Gregory Sierra). He figures out that the swastika was painted by a violent anti-Semitic group who have targeted a political activist living down the street. (They transposed the numbers in the street address and ended up at the Bunkers' by mistake.) Archie finds common ground with Paul, a Jewish vigilante who takes an "eye for an eye" approach to violence. "What's the matter with revenge?" Archie asks Mike. "It's the best way to get even!"
Despite Archie and Mike's usual sniping over what it means to be an America, this isn't really a topical episode. The story could take place at any place or time in history with violence between ethnic or religious groups (or "ethnic cleansing," as in 1990s Bosnia). Someone like Archie could well serve as a useful idiot to both sides, or at least to the ones on both sides who want the violence to continue. He's a funny character until someone gets hurt.
• The mix of slapstick comedy with intense drama works better here than in the hourlong "Edith's 50th Birthday," perhaps because the comedy happens first — a contrast to Archie and Mike stumbling around while looking for the rapist after Edith has been attacked and we're still trying to process what happened. As far as I can tell, "Archie Is Branded" is the only All in the Family episode to end with silence rather than audience applause.
• The episode has a "goof" in that a Postal Service employee delivers a package to the Bunkers on a Sunday. Someone must have noticed this, and the episode could have taken place on a Saturday, so I assume that the producers felt it important for the debate over violence to happen on the Christian day of worship.
• This episode is currently on YouTube, with Part One below (and here). Part Two is here, and Part Three is here.

( Producers Worry About Lack Of Feed and Bedding Come Fall
Even though planting progress is progressing, livestock producers and dairymen are concerned there isn't enough corn planted or alfalfa hay cut for feed and bedding come fall.
"The alfalfa crop is two weeks behind," said John Metzger, a dairy producer from Kimmell, Indiana. "The value is not near what it should have been."
The U.S. Department of Agriculture saying while corn planting is progressing, it's still behind. It's to the point where it's to the point where it's too late to plant and achieve a good yield. It's past the date to plant corn and be fully covered under federal crop insurance.
"With the wide area across the nation being short on feed, we don't have corn where [we normally] would get it," said Metzger.
AgDay National Reporter Betsy Jibben talks with John Metzger, a dairy farmer from Kimmell, Indiana and Marcelo Oberto, an independent dairy consultant. You can watch more in this video.

The opinions and views expressed herein – including, those of DC Comics, Zack Snyder, and Batman v Superman are the actual opinions and views on this topic are mine, with (failed) attempts at wit and sarcasm. Any so-called "errors" or "misrepresentations of fact," should be considered the deliberate display of humor by a passionate Comic Geek unchained by slavish convention.
While some research has gone into the following post I expect there are probably dropped or incomplete thoughts throughout the post. As I mentioned before that writing this post was difficult and painful (like it was to sit through the movie) but once started down this narrow highway, it's virtually impossible to get off – raised expectations and all. …another words sorry if I ramble and if there is any place I may have abruptly stopped I apologize.
If a scapegoat is required, let us look to the dark, depraved times of the Comic Book Industry and the state of the DC Comics movie universe in which we live.
For this post, I will be looking at the heroes in both Batman vSuperman and Flash/Supergirl: World's Finest .
To be up front I didn't hate everything about the movie, just the parts that involved the titular characters.
What I liked:
Wonder Woman:
The Dues Ex Machina of the movie and to serve as a way to start cramming the other Justice League characters into the Universe.
So she comes right out and says why she is in Metropolis, to retrieve the photo Luthor has of her from when she was fighting in World War I (Plug for her movie). But later, she says states that she "left the world of men," presumably to return to wherever she comes from in the DC Cinematic Universe. Which begs the question why does she need retrieve the photo? If she's not planning on hanging out around man's world, then the picture if anyone looks at it, is moot because . They might think it weird to see an Amazon in the trenches of World War I, but so long as she stays secluded, she's fine. Instead, she comes out of isolation to track down the photo? When she finally shows up as Wonder Woman after watching the Aquaman, Cyborg, and Flash movie trailers, I half expected to just show during the Superman/ Batman fight and be like "Really guys…you are both idiots!"
Even with all this during the final battle, she is the only one who looks like they are having fun and enjoying themselves in the movie. I do have high hopes for her solo flick.
Jeremy Irons' portrayal as Alfred was a great especially his dry wit, and constantly telling Bruce he is acting like an a-hole as he is more the voice of reason in the movie. I also found this approach to Alfred similar to the one from "Batman: Earth One," where he is a former soldier of the Royal Marines. Although some characterization and dialogue were off it was a nice contract to brooding guy 1 and 2 (Bats and Supes).
There are many things that did not care for in Batman v. Superman but the thing that bothered me the most was the way Superman and Batman were portrayed.
I am going to start with the character I had the most issue with, Superman. The one thing that I was hoping for was that Snyder would somehow redeem Superman after his action at the end of Man of Steel.
I admit Superman is not my favorite character. I think it the fact that he is so powerful that only certain things can stop him like magic or a glowing rock. Where Gal Gadot seemed to be enjoying her role as Wonder Woman, Superman as portrayed by Henry Cavill seems burdened and removed from the fun and satisfaction you can get by doing good in the world, which added to the sense of depression l felt watching the film.
Superman is not a dark and brooding character, you don't get the nickname the Big Blue Boy Scout if you mope and sulk around every time you show up on the screen.
The events at the end of "Man of Steel" left me with a bad taste in my mouth for this version of Superman, which I was hoping would erase the image of Superman the Stalker from Bryan Singer's Superman Returns, yes it was creepy to have Brandon Routh's Superman hovering outside of Lois's window.
I was hoping that in Batman v Superman, Superman would choose to embrace a more optimistic approach to the world – hopeful, smiling, inspiring, valuing life … basically not so emo. A simple scene or reference to Superman vowing to never kill again no matter the situation, or at least have some conflict about his discussion to kill Zod.
Did I get that?… Not at all.
Not even 30 minutes into the movie and it shifts to a scene in Africa where Lois Lane meets a warlord/weapons dealer, things go south, and Lois is being held hostage as Superman lands (all I could think about was the line from Deadpool ""Superhero landing! She's going to do a superhero landing!") crashing through hut's roof, looking pissed as he confronts the warlord who, surprise, has Lois at gunpoint.
This was the classic Superman situation and defining moment for me. Were we going to see a Superman who valued life above all else, who having to make the hard decision to kill not so long ago, is once again faced with a moral dilemma?
I thought what a great choose your own adventure moment this is:
Does he melt the gun with his heat vision? – turn to page 20
Does he disarm the warlord at super-speed? – turn to page 23
Does he do some super-speed / light tap combo on the warlord to knock the guy out? –Turn to page 22
The comic geek in me couldn't wait to see which classic and iconic movement was going to happen …then came the wind up as Lois nods, lowers her arm and then…
At super-speed Superman literally PLOWS through this poor guy and drives him through umpteenth walls.
For a split second I thought "okay, Superman, of course, showed some restraint ..now cue scene where the guy is still alive…cue scene where someone makes a comment that Superman didn't turn the guy into a pulp…" Nope, not a chance, just a cut to a press conference where a U.S. Senator is addressing the carnage caused in Africa and blaming Superman (because sending in a CIA as a camera man was all part of Superman's plan). Come on! Couldn't they allude to the warlord being in custody, recovering in the hospital somewhere on life support but not dead."
Nothing… I think I stopped caring at that point as the movie returned to its regularly scheduled destruction porn…speaking of which, insurance rates must be massively expensive in Metropolis following the events in Man of Steel. Could they at least show Superman helping with the rebuilding effort (like they do in the comics)? Nope but they gave him a dopey looking statue and half the people hate him… must have been an election year (in the comic books he at least had to die to get the statue).
Even Superman from Kingdom Come knows that killing is not the answer:
The rest of the movie was Superman just acting depressed which ultimately lead to an overall tone of the film, depressing.
There was nothing super about Superman in the movie, even when he is doing heroic stuff and helping people it just comes off as someone going through the motions half-heartedly.
Why would Snyder feel the need to take this beloved hero, most well-known for his stoic, optimistic, cheery, hopeful, courageous approach to conflict and other situations? Snyder himself has stated that this version of the character is very uninteresting and unrelatable.
Why does it matter how Superman is portrayed on the big screen? Because comics are more a niche hobby and when these characters are presented in the movies, the general public takes them as definitive and for them this is who the characters are, this is basically their mainstream, if it is a complete 180 from who they are in the source material.
Superman is much different because he means so much more, he is an icon. I'd rather not have the "mainstream" version be the misunderstood, cynical "god" type person. If I was someone who saw the film and then went and picked up the comic I would be utterly confused.
Overall, I really liked Affleck's Batman, not sure that I agree with the choice to base him more on the older Dark Knight Returns character. But really did we need to see his parents killed again? This time in super-slow motion and just to setup the weakest plot point of the movie? It just felt odd that Bruce Wayne was older and more experienced than Clark Kent. I have always seen the two as contemporaries, both beginning their heroic journeys around the same time but taking different paths due to their outlook and feelings about humanity.
In my opinion, the contrasting that is what makes the two such a great duo and friends. But there is little contrast between the two in BvS.
Apparently Bat-Fleck also has little reservation about killing. Has an on-screen Batman killed, yes and it was wrong then and it is wrong now, but Nolan's "The Dark Knight" was basically all about why Batman doesn't kill even though he could if he wanted.
Snyder even gets the source material, The Dark Knight Returns on which this older Batman is based on, incorrect. Snyder has said that portraying Batman as so willing to kill:
"I would say that in the Frank Miller comic book that I reference, he kills all the time. There's a scene from the graphic novel where he busts through a wall, takes the guy's machine gun… I took that little vignette from a scene in 'The Dark Knight Returns, 'and at the end of that, he shoots the guy right between the eyes with the machine gun. One shot. Of course, I went to the gas tank, and all of the guys I work with were like, 'you've gotta shoot him in the head' because they're all comic book dorks, and I was like, 'I'm not gonna be the guy that does that!'"
This is the sequence that Snyder references place in the second issue, "Dark Knight Triumphant." Batman does attack a couple of thugs who have taken a little kid hostage. Batman does, indeed, shoot one of them, but there's definitely no head shot. In fact, it seems pretty clear he doesn't actually kill the thug.
If Snyder could read (just assuming this is the case) he would know that Batman here does not kill for two major reasons:
One: Newly appointed Gotham City Commissioner Ellen Yindel, declares her first act as police commissioner will be to issue an arrest warrant for the Batman on charges of assault, breaking and entering, creating a public hazard …" No mention of a murder charge, which would most likely be at the top of the list.
Batman attacks a gathering of the Mutants gang using the guns on his BatTank, being careful to use "just" rubber bullets. As he sets his sights on the gang's leader, Batman muses:
If the themes of this movie revolve around the belief that there consequences to actions which are Batman's driving reason for wanting to take down Superman, then the fact that he is already killing people is lost. Since Snyder goes with the older Batman who has been at it for 20 years, apparently already lost Robin to the Joker, I can understand that he is probably weary and willing to cross certain lines… but killing bad guys crosses that line and he is the bad guy.
Again, for a version of Batman so heavily inspired by The Dark Knight Returns, Snyder misses THE crucial point… when Batman kills, The Joker wins…and when given the chance in the story Batman doesn't kill Joker. Joker snaps his own neck hoping Batman is blamed for killing him (which would have been a great move for Zod to pull in Man of Steel, thus making people think that Superman was a killer).
The whole bat-branding thing alos bothered me. Batman but the killing and essential condoning of murder via the bat-brand was another big out of character moment.
I could also go on and on about how this Batman is not The World's Greatest Detective, but I have already run long with the post. Let me just say that if Batman was so worried about Superman than he would already know that Clark Kent was Superman. Of course, this would totally derail the whole plot which speaks for how crappy it was to start.
So now let's contrast Batman and Superman from the movie to the CW's Flash and CBS' Supergirl
First, take a look at the "origin" stories which they run before every episode:
The Flash
Okay, the Supergirl one is shorter but I hope you catch my point… Like Batman and Superman, these characters also were forged by great personal tragedies but they don't constantly mope around on the screen.
I for one am glad Snyder did not cast Grant Gustin as the Flash for the Justice League movie and has me worried about The Flash movie. In an interview the New York Daily News, Snyder admits "I just don't think it was a good fit, I'm very strict with this universe, and I just don't see a version where … that (tone is) not our world."
Thank you, Zack, for telling me up front that you are going to ruin another DC character. I am not sure what the Ezra Miller's Flash will be but I have a feeling he is going to be more Eobard Thawne (Reverse Flash) than Barry Allen.
Gustin is great because Barry, for the most part, is an upbeat guy, even given what he has gone through prior to and once he becomes The Flash. Barry Allen's personality is captured perfectly in the World's Finest episode with Supergirl after he "rescues" Kara.
You may say he is naive, but that is who Barry Allen is…usually he is good at figuring out who he can trust with his identity and who conceal it from (until they tell him that they knew all along it was him).
And I am satisfied with the direction that CBS took Supergirl. Is it a bit tongue in cheek They could have easily turned her into the emo, constantly blaming Superman for stuff that she started off as back when she was reintroduced in Superman/Batman and again in the New52. I understand that the target audience for the CBS show is more all ages, but the writers could have easily gone for the edgier Supergirl, instead opting for a nice mixture of the Pre-Crisis to Pre-Modern Age version.
The interaction between Flash and Supergirl gets a bit campy but in a good way. They help each other, both in dealing with and confronting the villains, but also as fellow heroes, as they can relate to each other without going at each other with fists first, questions later.
I guess my point is, and I do have one, is that Zack Snyder's vision of the DC Universe is not one that I find appealing. Next post I will focus on the relationship between Batman and Superman and why there are better stories of how the two first meet than what we get in Batman v Superman.

The vehicle restoration show "Overhaulin'" will be coming back to television, according to a recent article in Variety.
The show, which follows iconic customizer Chip Foose as he performs major transformations on beat-up vehicles, was a big hit when it originally aired on TLC from 2004-2009.
The show has been picked up by the Discovery Channel-owned Velocity channel.
"'Overhaulin" is exactly the type of programming we want to bring to Velocity because it fits with our genre of auto-themed shows geared toward the upscale male," Bob Scanlon, Velocity's senior vice president, told Variety. "[It's] sure to be a ratings driver."
The new episodes are slated to air later this fall and will once again feature Foose in a starring role.
"I am thrilled to be returning to television with a new and improved version of 'Overhaulin," and especially excited to be working with the team at Velocity," Foose said in an interview with SEMA News. "Velocity is the perfect home for 'Overhaulin" and I'm looking forward to shooting all-new episodes bringing viewers compelling stories of car owners who are surprised to have their much-loved treasures overhauled."

The AirLink® RV50X is the industry's lowest power and most rugged LTE gateway. Simple to install and easy to manage, the RV50X industrial gateway is designed to connect critical assets and infrastructure. Ideal for industrial-grade applications in energy, utilities and smart-city infrastructure, the RV50X provides real-time remote connectivity for SCADA, distribution management systems and metering. With the lowest power consumption available on the market, the RV50X dramatically reduces infrastructure costs when running on battery or solar power, and provides programmability to enable edge computing applications, using the ALEOS Application Framework (AAF).
The AirLink® RV50X supports LTE Advanced capabilities, with an extensive range of LTE bands worldwide, delivering up to 300 Mbps downlink speeds.
Designed to withstand harsh industrial conditions, is the RV50X is capable of surviving 5 V brownouts and spikes from -600 VDC to 200 VDC. Certified as Class I Div 2, it is ideal for hazardous environments. The die cast aluminum housing is sealed to meet IP64 for resistance to dust and water ingress.
The RV50X is tested to meet and exceed the MIL-STD-810G specification for shock, vibration, temperature and humidity. The built-in power supply protection make it suitable for harsh electrical environments such as compressors, generators, and excavators.
The RV50X offers best-in-class power consumption combined with LTE performance, and is optimized for battery and solar applications. It is the industry's only LTE gateway with 2G power consumption, operating at 900 mW in idle mode. For 3G deployments migrating to LTE, the RV50X will work with existing power infrastructure, eliminating the need to invest in replacement solar panels or batteries. Standby Mode provides additional protection for batteries by dropping power consumption to 53 mW, and can be triggered by timers, low voltage detection or I/O.
Ideal for global deployments, the RV50X provides worldwide LTE coverage with just two product variants; one for North America and EMEA, and one for Asia-Pacific.
With support for network operator switching—automatic configuration of the radio, based on the SIM—the RV50X provides versatility and simplicity when changing between network operators at any time.
Network Management solutions for the RV50X enable users to maintain multiple device configurations, update device software, and remotely diagnose reported issues, and are available either as a hosted cloud-based service, or as a licensed software platform in the enterprise data center.
AirLink Management Service (ALMS) enables over-the-air registration, configuration and software updates for the complete portfolio of AirLink gateways and routers.
Available as a cloud-service, ALMS provides a dashboard view of the entire deployment, including signal strength, network technology and location. Custom alerts can be set-up to monitor and report critical events, which help you in increasing efficiency and preventing downtime.
Designed for applications where cloud-based management is not an option, the AirLink® Manager (AM) is a leading-edge, end-to-end on-premises network management solution that enables simplified, remote and real-time mass configuration, control and troubleshooting of fixed AirLink® routers and gateways, connected infrastructure and mission critical applications.

"We've deployed the Raven X in many of our customer sites, including 70% of US Investor Owned Utilities (IOUs), and a number of co-operative and private power utilities. We tested the new Raven RV50 as a replacement for the Raven X, and found that it works flawlessly with our electrical Phase Trakker device – we didn't need to make any modifications to our software, originally designed to support the Raven X," says Neil Hurst, Engineering Manager, Products of EDM International, Inc.
We are very pleased with this new product, in particular, it's very fast boot-up time, and low power consumption of under 1 Watt in idle mode. We've also found that the Raven RV50's Advanced Power Management feature extended our battery life by approximately 35%.
"We specialize in providing monitoring solutions using advanced cloud-based SCADA software, and we currently have devices in all major oil and gas fields in North America. We tested the Raven RV50 to provide LTE, lower power connectivity for SCADALynx, and we were impressed by how quickly the Raven RV50 integrated with our software," says Ryan McDonald, CIO of eLynx Technologies.
We're also really excited about the network operator switching capability of the Raven RV50—it provides a new level of flexibility for our inventory and provisioning processes and, because of its low power consumption, many of our customers won't need to upgrade their existing solar panels when moving to a LTE modem, saving them money.
We plan on standardizing the Raven RV50 as our primary cellular gateway—given its highly compatible management platform, performance features and reliability, we feel it is an ideal solution for our customers."

A sewage backflow into a home is a serious problem. Depending on volume and other factors, it may create severe sewage contamination in the indoor environment with potentially extreme health risks. Sewage contamination has the potential to be much more unsafe than even the most severely mold contaminated environment. Yet many homeowners and property managers are not aware of these facts and often underestimate the potential health and safety risks. This brief article on sewage contamination is intended to help address this disparity between perception and reality.

What to Do If Excessive Formaldehyde Is Found in Your Home's Air
When excessive formaldehyde is found in your home's air, particularly from laminate flooring, what should you do?
Formaldehyde Screening and Testing Methods Used In Home
When formaldehyde screening and testing is performed, it is very critical that a qualified indoor air quality expert handle the procedure.
What You Should Know About Formaldehyde Exposure in Home
When it comes to formaldehyde exposure in your home, there are two very important points to remember:
Making sense of the Formaldehyde Emissions Standard and Laminate Flooring
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) to date has, we believe, the only applicable regulation for formaldehyde emissions in the country, but is legally applicable only to products sold in California.
Lumber Liquidators Air Test Kits for Laminate Floors – ABC Action News Report (Video)
Lumber Liquidators, a nationwide company, has had numerous complaints from homeowners regarding the Chinese-made laminate flooring. However, the concern has also been noticed in the Tampa Bay area in Florida. Lumber Liquidators, in response, began providing free air test kits to their customers using a local lab in the Tampa area.

I and Chile and still piecing together of course the who ... of an issue here is how ... the shooter got in ... to this place and how to make the Naval Sea systems Command ... but the Lyngen protocol would be at a building like that when a situation like this begins to unfold ... well ... obviously I'm the and this is a military base so I you need to have a identification or have your car search before you get on the case ... others obviously security again and each toward each building up to in the Navy are ... mean this is the home to the ... the chief of naval operations that the top of the top media person ... that's on that same day said building one ninety seven is ... um and so ... it did me in the ... Emilia as a shooting broke out at the house and ... announced a shelter in place to live is a lot of the people in the building when the fire alarm was pulled but headed to the stairwells are and began to escape so we don't know yet how many people ... sheltered in place in building one ninety seven how many people escaped but there have been reports of eye witnesses that the shooter was ... of firing at people as they tried to flee the building ...

I've described in one shouldn't hide the building they were able to get out of the building up a bit about caring and other ... I should end of round ... that building ... so it can use ... it's not clear about what happened at the open so ... it will open look at them clarity on and that's the kind that one of them and when she ... will be coming to this press conference and to you when we hit that women to come back ... to you for a moment ... I in terms of what what happens next is they try this or that piece together the play by play ... they do they begin pulling videotapes from inside this building ... opposite to be interviewing the witnesses that they haven't got access ...

Greenlight's is when they were exposed to as the air and ... more exposed to ... the school of Arts ... so these candidates ... it's ... or ... they were not working they were the ones that they were very influenced by the environment and alot of sort of a group of people hoard is resilient ... Takata no matter wat dun jump in here because the everything to ... me is that the identifying ... genes they think they actually played a role in shaping this by linking don't mean this chemical that makes us ... feel good chemical right ... is in in in class in this give us a sense of at least it right this is one of us are first ... and ... research that serve identified a biological processes behind I responsiveness to the environment ... the opening is a chemical involved answer of how we happened in the brains message traffic re ... and it helps us respond to pressures and warrants in lead researchers found was that if you have a street to the ... gene that regulates the opening that can affect ... whether you're an orchid or dandelion the people with the ... orchid tweets to their gin are ... much more responsive to the entire ... and why you don't want to acquire still exploring this dandelion a working theory there is a recent study came out to look at the impact ... of the economy on Mother's carotene and I show whether that's why it is an amazing amount of research going on it's quite fascinating with them was when most recent studies looked at how the great recession affected ... mother's parenting ... and what it found was that as the economy plunged during the Great Recession ... he's working mothers responded with no more yelling were shouting were cursing were slapping of decades ... at the end so they basically get that that says that working that is not working finds red and white and likewise you know when the economy was improving ... they were less harsh than the dandelion on it's it's interesting however is that ... this research is to what change the makeup of the four kids a mean that we need both fights ... in this world analyze versus orchid what what is the real life application ... do you think of this research ... we're not trying to change people ... let's ... in order to understand the workings and end its ... bond rating with the social environment ... so we invest a great deal of effort in trying to do their actions to try to change school environments ... changer all environments to make things ... work and can lead to better respond that way ... those interventions once I stopped at all ... I think you so much for being a lot more in the Pursell section tomorrow ... the pasty thanks for being here ... a hard tackle headbutt and hockey are in an unexpected cheerleading fall now these ... potentially deadly cervical spine injuries their spiking over the last decade and spurring a push to get certified ... athletic trainers on the field during high school games that some of the battle now ... to explain why as are informed patient columnist Laura Landro joins us right now lot ... ways that we are these injuries occurring in the spinal column and why exactly can they can they kill these athletes ... this ... slide which is seen as a perverted they went for every seven is a candidate Barry vulnerable area that houses the ... spinal cord the ... credit control the brain and the lead to brain to body ... so that you pray that the spinal cord is being protected by the vertebrae that that vertebrate interest in a neck fracture very badly can compress or even sadder that spying and ... ego paralysis that very very difficult ... horrible things that can happen in that they are ... not missing this can happen to athletes of any level whether it's the it's it's in high school and college or even professional athletes so why is there such a focus right now at the secondary school the high school level ... you know one reason is that I actually do better in situations like this is something that an athletic trainer which is now like it when you have the chance that are actually people who are certified medical professionals working under the direction that tradition ... and they are able to immediately spot and take care these injuries before ... EMS had people come along so ... the problem in secondary schools is most college programs are actually all of them have an athletic trainer isn't physicians on staff ... that only about forty five percent of ... Army ... one twenty five percent but is committing to their high schools and now have these athletic trainers and staff ... to credit their high schools out there that don't have anybody on the field when your kids out there playing sports ... to ... you really get a picture of what's happened he actually did something goes wrong and in some troubling statistics and that these injuries that fight ... I did different points over the past decade ... and was in the lore of the right thing to do when an injury of this nature is suspected eighty is ... I think probably not to move the actually haven't guessed ... oh absolutely ... knew that maybe just literally let's say somebody falls down on the field one of the athletes fees to tummy now and ... his teammate him over in June that he cannot ... by he had really hurt his his mind that his cervical spine ... and even his duties in one hand above the ground you can you know instantly kill them so ... some an athletic trainer with no cheese to immobilized him when they have all kinds of guidelines for the National Association of Athletic trainers ... how to deal with these injured athletes know you've got to stop words that we take a common stock he can remove the helmet for someone who's had a head injury ... unless you Karicare we live in your home into designed so that that's not a problem ... but you just have to really be careful that removing equipment moving the athlete until we all hope comes along to immobilized and get them feel ... like this education component that you mention is so critical because I know in your high school athlete you know at that age you almost feel invulnerable like this is not going to happen to me and it got the kind of bounce back ... at you know how the coaches and the parents working across the country to try and empower the athletes on the field ... and it's taken so that they think they know what to do in case an athletic trainers not there is one of their their friends and teammates ... you know God forbid gets hurt ... pray well there's a lot of chatter Eric has led efforts to educate is a very good organizations come email When mentions smothering heat that balance ... that together D I'm a nonprofit organization in a program called actually exceeding athletes which goes into high schools ... to really educate young people about how to do this how to do CPR come now ... in the winter can recognize that something went ... wrong so they can really kind of protect each other and in the trainers Association is the youth sports Alliance Aslund ever to really ... raise awareness of this and get more people understanding of people are so focused on concussions which is of course not a good thing either ... but I think what they don't recognize it can actually tend to get out from a concussion in and walk around ... but you get from a cervical spine injury ... you may get for Mr. Scripture Agrium Elevens gets concussions of the cervical spine injuries until it can be an athletic trainer on on every field it seemed that this education component ... is critical Arlan from or her informed patient column tomorrow thanks Laura ... we come back when schools produce the highest pain graduates in each major brand tell you ... in just thirty seconds ... Tce ... back to lunch break I'm Wendy downs what's schools produce the highest paid graduates in each major one new report is out to survey the landscape found that ... even students choosing less lucrative majors like English they had a better chance of landing hiring jobs if they get to that particular school is in our market MarketWatch dot com ... the digging into the data season is right here and ... how that's possible sprayed with the de tails ... conducted the survey and how they come up with is listening this is a large undertaking ... Sophia still is a company where people can go on and answer their own information Commons education they have weighed in and what tot they have ... and it's a way for them to figure out of their earnings compared to people who are similar to that and so they compiled the information from the Fed million people and plan for many and ... only had a undergraduate degree ok and and in it that you know whether the school it that that is the highest earning back to its and also buy meat or ... so ... with that at the school is that the highest me that this will Street sweets or with a judge has appointed Garry like it was a sort of a mid career of playing with a just a what what what what this new career as a way to ... rights of the rankings were not just for the starting salary though we don't bicker it was to find that at least ten years of working Stay Hot Seat right let's get to the winners computer science ... drumroll please browse Last jsut not surprising that the best earnings school for computer science majors was in the Bay area to use the nearest of California Berkeley ok and even if you know not everything has to be the next part of iron were talking about me and I pay of one hundred and forty one thousand dollars not not bad enough that no on all the other end of the spectrum supporting most major new things again again the school and never a nickel I'm but that he found one interesting that's not true but let's start with that the winner was number one introducing these you know that ran low for it this means is that this goal was to let me say University ... and the story here soon so be it even if you don't earn as much as some of these engineering students my right out of politics ... in the wrong way you can serve leveraging communications goes ... and you can make more and even in a deal with mine the fact that our right not aside considers up but no picture but a livable wage for sure exactly I am now let's go to somebody we would expect to make a lot more money engineering majors elsewhere surprise but we found here ... so this is a school or feedback on it to the private liberal arts school but they do specialize in math and engineering and science so ... in that sense is not to surprise ... but in this case we had a median peer hundred and forty thousand dollars by the career ... write ... the final one business majors let's take a look at that time universe sees ... fit into the soul of this is a this is one in a case where maybe even hiding in Masters ... you may see more of a difference in on the way the school will matter but ...

New Wife Caught Having S3x With Ex-Boyfriend On Their Wedding Night In Zimbabwe
A nurse at Claybank Hospital in Gweru is battling for shame after she was recently caught in bed with another man on her wedding night.
The sex starved Kudzai Juliet Mudema and her husband Progress Walusi were both student nurses at Gweru General Hospital and are said to have begun their marriage on the rocks, as Kudzai is reported to have bedded her ex-boyfriend at the duo's honeymoon.
A move which has since been confirmed by the hubby via leaked Whatsapp chats in possession of this publication
In the verified leaked Whatsapp chats Walusi and Kudzai's sister Nyasha Mudema are discussing the infidelity matter.
The chat starts with Walusi saying, "…I'm hurt Gulez more than hurt, as l am texting you so tears are flowing down my cheeks. The last time yandakachema(i cried out) was 2009 when my mum passed away.
"…You know us very well ndichimuregerera you are the best person to testify kuti ndakambozama because l always confided in you, Fracas dzese dzana Bule, abortion dzake l forgave her and opened a new chapter. If you check those chats it was barely two months into the marriage anga akutohura.
"In as much as l love her wholeheartedly, for that l think in life there comes a time when tough decisions have to be made. I am doing this with a bleeding heart but l guess it's the only way to go.
"Kana tazofungawo kuti tingadzokerawo hamenowo kumberi ikoko but for now better we go our separate ways …"
In response Nyasha says, "Neniwo ndirikutoshaya pekutangira nenyadzi chaidzo. But ari kukumbira ruregerero wani please forgive her … I know and understand what you are going through and would not want to coerce you into a premature decision but l just feelthere could be another chance.
Kudzai might have escaped divorce after their honeymoon but still continues to skate on thin ice bedding yet other men.
Contacted for comment Kudzai's number was not reachable as she is in Namibia where she is said to be pleading for mercy from her husband.
Naijatweet is also reliably informed that Kudzai has since resigned from Claybank last month as the hubby was organizing a new job for her in Namibia.
It is not clear if the plan will prevail with the situation at hand.
Speaking about his wife's past, Walusi was reluctant to discuss with this publication delicate issues pertaining to his madam's private liaisons with her former lover;
"I know and very much respect the nature of your job(journalism) but whatever happened to us it's a thing of the past. What she did back then is now in the past, she is and will remain my wife," he said.
"We are trying to deal with our situation and we are doing just fine..but whoever is behind this has a score to settle after all its our personal life," he added

Ac.Milan and Inter Milan have been sharing the San Siro stadium since 1947 but things might be changing within the next years as Ac.Milan has published a plan on constructing a new 48,000 seater stadium in an area of land which is not being used.
The Italian side has already claimed that this prospective new home for the fans of Ac.Milan would be one of the most innovative stadiums in the world which will incorporate a hotel, a sports college, restaurants, a children's playground, green areas and a number of other things.
Roberto Mancini took over as the replacement for Walter Mazzarri back in November, but he has managed only one victory in the league since his return to Inter Milan.
The former Manchester City boss won several league titles with Inter in his first spell. Several reasons have been attributed for Inter being unable to perform at a high standard even after a managerial change and one of them is the lack of understanding to the manager's philosophy. Mancini says that the players need to understand his requirements quickly in order to start winning matches.
As each day passes by and the January transfer window edges closer and closer, more and more rumors start to emerge linking certain players with a number of different clubs around the world, some of those rumors are shut down and disappear soon while others continue being spread around and one of those is Inter Milan being interested in signing Liverpool's Glen Johnson and Fabio Borini.
Inter Milan recently brought back Roberto Mancini for a second spell at the club in order to replace Walter Mazzarri, who was sacked just into the international break.
Mancini's return to the San Siro has been marked with one of the games of the campaign. Their match against archrivals AC Milan on Sunday night was seen as a major chance for Mancini to get confidence back into the team.
Inter Milan slumped to yet another poor defeat in the league after a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Cagliari. This forced the manager, Walter Mazzarri, to issue an apology to the fans. Many questioned the club's decision to offer Mazzarri a new contract extension in the summer despite having performed poorly last season. The club failed to achieve its ambition of reaching the top three once again. It looks like another poor season beckons for the 2010 European champions. They have managed just two victories after six matches the season.
Inter Milan begin their European campaign this season with a match against Dnipro. After having competed in the Champions League for several seasons, Inter have been going through a troubled spell where they have been unable to qualify for this Premier competition. Instead, they will once again be playing in the Europa League on Thursday nights. Inter come the back of a very good 7-0 thrashing of Sassuolo. This will give them a lot of confidence, but Walter Mazzarri will be aware that they had beaten Sassuolo by a similar score last season only to end up finishing fifth in the league.
Inter Milan's opening match of the next season is against Torino, a club that concluded the previous campaign sitting on the 7th spot but the Italian manager stated his opinion concerning the 1st match of the campaign as he went on saying that it will be a tough team and place to perform well against.
In a move that largely appears to provide the players and the manager with confidence going into the new campaign, Inter Milan have announced that the manager Walter Mazzarri has signed a one-year extension to his contract. The former Napoli manager came to the San Siro on a two-year contract. He was widely expected to leave the club back into the Champions League in his first season, but that has proved very difficult indeed. Still, there has been improvement from Inter in every area of the pitch.
Inter Milan manager Walter Mazzarri has revealed that he will be looking to strengthen the team primarily on the defensive midfield position. Inter come on the back of a very disappointing season in which they once again failed to qualify for the Champions League. However, they are expected to strengthen the team in several areas of the pitch in order to finally return to the top European competition. They have already secure the signing of Nemanja Vidic from Manchester United on a free transfer. They have also been linked with the likes of Fernando Torres as well.
Inter Milan defender Jonathan has stated that the club should not part company with manager Walter Mazzarri. The manager came from Napoli with a reputation of achieving a lot of success with limited funds at his disposal. Things were extremely rosy in the first half of the season when Inter looked like returning back to Champions League football and even returning to the top of the table. However, the second half of the season has been extremely poor, as the club has been drawing their way to the finish. Prior to the final game of the season, Inter look set to finish in the fifth place.

Adnan's 'Ek Ladki Deewani Si' focuses on love ballads
Album: 'Ek Ladki Deewani Si'; Music Director: Adnan Sami; Lyricist: Irfan Siddiqui; Singers: Adnan Sami, Tulsi Kumar and Jermaine Jackson; Rating: **1/2
Album: 'Ek Ladki Deewani Si'; Music Director: Adnan Sami; Lyricist: Irfan Siddiqui; Singers: Adnan Sami, Tulsi Kumar and Jermaine Jackson; Rating: **1/2
Adnan Sami returns to non-film music after a gap of five years with his latest album 'Ek Ladki Deewani Si', which comprises mostly love songs. It also boasts of a track by international pop star Jermaine Jackson, brother of late music legend Michael Jackson.
The album opens with 'Ek Ladki', the title track. It is foot-tapping but there is some resemblance to Sami's previous tracks, which gives the song a heard-before feel. On the whole, an average song.
Up next is 'Lets go to Mumbai city' that also features Jermaine Jackson. The song's video is currently doing the rounds of TV channels. To make it an amalgamation of Indo-western influences, both Indian and western instruments are used. However, apart from the international connect, the song offers nothing great. Neither is it bad nor is it brilliant.
Then there is 'Mehfooz', which is a slow, melodious love ballad. It is intense and very well sung by Sami. The composition generates interest and proves to be a plus point for the album. The song has been arranged and programmed by composers Salim-Sulaiman.
Next in line is 'Tu salamat rahe', a song that brings forth the saxophone, an instrument not heard often these days. This mushy offering is an above average song and will be liked by many for its composition.
Then we have another romantic track in 'Tujhe dekha', though this one offers nothing extraordinary. The song, which has electronic beats in the background, is a duet with Tulsi Kumar.
'Sharmili' has a long musical prelude before the lyrics are heard. There is a certain punch in the song that makes it appealing. It is simple and very likable.
'Laila' is a totally avoidable song. It is fast-paced and has Arabic influences. But it fails in holding the interest of the listener.
Finally there is 'Chalo', a beautiful and mesmerising song that has jazz influences. It is pleasing to the ears and wonderfully sung by Sami. The love song is very appealing with its soft orchestration and makes one want to hear it again and again.
Sami's new album is essentially an ode to people in love as it consists mainly of romantic tracks, which has been his forte.

Duchess Kate and mom Carole are style sisters in matching dresses
The Duchess of Cambridge and her mum are proving true the old adage 'like mother like daughter' by stepping out in nearly identical outfits at the same event.
Kate Middleton donned a floor length black lace Diane Von Furstenberg gown at the Royal Variety Performance -- and her mother Carole sported a strikingly similar, slightly shorter version that same night.
See Gallery
The Duchess, who is 16 weeks pregnant, and her mother both looked ravishing in the similar gowns -- but isn't it some sort of royal no-no to steal Her Highness' look?
The Daily Mail points out the style snafu and mentions that the mother-daughter duo have been fashion doppelgängers several times before. The Middletons have a habit of rocking similar looks, sometimes even sharing the same clothes -- you know, just like a lot of non-royal moms and daughters do.
In fact, Carole, Kate and sister Pippa all share similar styles with each other -- and with the rest of Britain. The Duchess is known for selling entire looks to fans who are clamoring to dress just like her.
She famously sold out this Goat dress in just one minute.

The Harbours Bill 2008
On 31 July 2008, the Minister for Transport, Noel Dempsey T.D., announced the publication of the Harbours (Amendment) Bill, 2008. The proposed new legislation is aimed at helping Ireland's ten state port companies to grow and develop their business into the future. The principal objectives of the Bill are as follows:
- The Harbours Act, 1996 provides for port companies to have regard to relevant government provision guidelines in relation to the acquisition of land. The proposed bill extends this regard to the disposal of land
- The transfer of functions from the Minister of Transport to An Bord Pleanála in the context of compulsory acquisition of land by port companies
- The number of directors on a port company board will be reduced from 12 to 8
- Amendments to the limits of Drogheda Port Company to facilitate the proposal to build the new port of Bremore in north County Dublin
- Provision for a legislative basis for port companies to invest outside of their harbour limits
Summary of the Detailed Provisions of the New Bill:
Section 3
Section 9 of the Harbours Act 1996 will be amended to give the Minister power, after consultation with the particular port company, to alter the limits of the harbour of a port company. Such an order may be made in relation to additional areas of land whether contiguous to the existing harbour limits for the purposes of relocating whole or part of the harbour. In considering whether to make such an order, the Minister is to have regard to the present and expected capacity of the Port, navigational safety and any issues in relation to leases or consents under the Foreshore Act 1933, applications and grants of planning permission and any environmental impact assessments that have been made. Specific extensions were made in relation to Drogheda Port Company and Dublin Port Company.
Section 5
Section 5 of the Harbours Bill inserts a new Section 12A in to the Harbours Act 1996 and provides that a port company may, where it appears to be "requisite, advantageous or incidental to the performance by it of its functions under this Act", may invest in or engage in commercial activities outside the limits of the harbour. In exercising such rights, the company must receive prior written approval of such activity from the Minister, together with the consent of the Minister for Finance.
Section 6
As referred to above, in the principal objectives, Section 6 of the proposed bill amends Section 15 of the Harbours Act, 1996 to include the disposal of land by port companies. In the acquisition or disposal of land, the port company is to have consideration to any government policy or guidelines in relation to the acquisition of the land or the disposal of land, as appropriate by state entities, which is or at the time of being, extant. The consideration for which any land is sold by a port company should, in so far as practicable, be not less than its open market value.
Section 9
Section 9 of the proposed Bill amends Section 23 of the Harbours Act, 1996 by extending the ability of a port company to borrow and raise funds to finance important port capacity projects.
Section 20
Section 20 amends Section 4a of the (Irish Maritime Development Office) Marine Institute Act, 1991.
Ministerial responsibility for the Irish Maritime Office was transferred to the Minster for Transport by statutory instrument in 2005. This transfer is reflected in the proposed amendment and the bill also extends the remit of the Irish Maritime Development Office, providing them with additional function in relation to the ports and ports services sector.
The Bill has passed through the first stage of review and referral to a select committee. Further consideration will take place before the Oireachtas before the Bill is passed. Some amendments have been already proposed to the detail of the provisions and further developments are awaited.
