Try and say that 5 times fast, and record it, and send it to me, I love a good laugh :D I kid, but today's post is definitely a double take on a tropical treat. I loved coloring the two toned dress worn by SOG's Tropical Mae, that I thought I'd print her out and color her up again using a different pallet.
I loved figuring out what shades would fade green into soft blue seamlessly. It took a little thought but I absolutely love the results. Another thing I love about the SOG stamps is that, like TGF stamps that I love so much, these don't have anything limiting them to a particular race or nationality. The stamps are very versatile because of this ambiguity I'm free to color them any way I choose without it looking like something is "off".
I thought this would be the perfect stamp to use since her 'twin' just won a spotlight this week in the June linky party over on the Some Odd Girl Blog so maybe she's luck ^.^ I used my copics to color Ms Mae and added stickles to her dress to make it sparkle. I wanted to keep the layout the same and just swap colors so I used the same DP pads from Bo Bunny and Echo park and finished it off with jute twine, a matching button from my stash and my new favorite embellishment next to glitter, enamel dots! This linky party isn't over, you still have a chance to link up and make your projects shine, get craftin', I know I'm about to!
As a stay at home mom, between cooking cleaning teaching and not having a moment to blink I needed a quiet corner to sneak away to and that corner just happens to be full of DP, copic markers, and stamps, welcome to my little corner!

"Where is the house that was deconstructed? And are the owners at home?"
Sally Smart, cub reporter, had pulled her car over to talk legally on her cell phone. The traffic on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard was thick with after-school rides; the Marin moms were out in force. In the shade on Butterfield Road, Sally watched a few plaid-skirted girls—San Domenico students—stroll by with curious looks at her car, now splattered with bird droppings. She should have picked a different place to park.
"I'm sorry," answered the voice of the public relations flak. "But the owners of the home do not wish to speak with you or to be identified in your article."
Sally felt the tense rush of adrenalin that accompanies major setbacks on deadline day. "Well, I'm practically in Ross right now," she said. "Can I at least stop by the house and get some pictures?"
"Oh, no," said the voice. "You can't see the place. It would be a violation of their privacy." Sally got off the call and threw the phone on the passenger seat. So why am I here? Why am I even writing an article about them?
Deconstruction. She had been sent to write about it. All she'd discovered was that the house, owned by who knows who, was hidden somewhere in one of the wealthiest communities in Marin, the wealthiest per capita county in California, itself the richest state in the richest nation in the world. Sally put the car in gear and steered toward Fairfax, where her car would not be conspicuous and where she could hopefully find her construction expert, Rob the Builder. He would know what to do.
Fifteen minutes and one call later, Sally watched Rob the Builder walk into the Sleeping Lady Cafe, order a beer and hold out his iPhone saying, "See those French doors? Those are double-paned, pure oak. Solid brass handles." Sally nodded, not seeing anything more than a fuzzy snapshot of some workers carrying pieces of a house around. "This is top-quality stuff," said Rob the Builder. "And it's going to be used again in a home built by Habitat for Humanity or by a similar organization called Corazon. If the doors won't work in a house, then they'll be sold to the public at the ReStore, which sells stuff they can't use in the houses. The public can buy them, and the money funds the nonprofit."
Sally nodded slowly at Rob, then glanced enviously at the beer the waitress had set by him. Today was one day she thought drinking on the job not such a bad idea. But Sally, a cub reporter of high integrity, never broke the rules. She'd ordered an iced tea so she could concentrate on her deadline and ponder how she was supposed to write a faceless feature article about a house project for unnamed owners completed at a secret address that she couldn't visit. Sigh. Maybe just a very, very small beer would help.
"Look on the bright side, Sal," said Rob. "So what if you don't have a face for your article? Whoever those Ross homeowners were, they took a green step by keeping the guts of a 3,000-square-foot house out of the landfill, and instead donating all of its reusable parts to charity. They were following the lead of a nonprofit called Deconstruction and ReUse. Check out their website." He tapped a bit on the iPhone again and on the screen appeared photographs of homes from all over California, remodeling sites from which the deconstructed materials had gone on to have a second life, rather than go to landfills.
"This is amazing," said Sally. "Looks like people are catching on to a radical new trend—to stop throwing useful things away. I bet it's revolutionizing the construction industry since—no offense—you guys put more tons of stuff in the landfill than anyone else."
"Not me," said Rob the Builder. "Not anymore. I've joined the Deconstruction and ReUse Network." Sally smiled and grabbed her pen. "Hey, can I quote you on that?"

mspgcc setup to compile using command line on Windows
Apaseo posted a topic in Compilers and IDEsHello, I am trying to set up my computer so that I can compile my code with mspgcc using the command line. I downloaed mspgcc from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mspgcc/files/Windows/mingw32/ Extracted it into mspgcc folder at C:/ Then I added to path. Now, when I tried to use it, it tells me (and I see) that there is no make.exe but there is msp430-gcc.exe, when I run this it tells me: msp430-gcc fatal error: no input files Does anyone have any idea or comments about this. All is welcomed. I prefer to work with the command line, Thanks

Every new birth is a new opportunity and Dataman Group's New Parents Mailing Lists helps marketers reach households with new babies reliably, consistently, and cost-effectively.
Parents of New Babies Have To Buy.
And New Parents spend more than at any other time.
The birth of a child, particularly the first child, is a major life stage event for new parents. It triggers a wave of consumer purchases ranging from diapers, clothing, food and insurance to homes, home improvements, furnishings, cars and appliances.
Almost 1 out of every 2 births today is a first birth, creating enormous marketing opportunities.
Most first-birth families are also two-career families; working moms and dads with large, disposable incomes and no brand loyalties where child care products are concerned.
As a market, these growing families outspend childless couples 2 to 1 and are prime candidates for not only a full range of baby products, but also day care, home entertainment, photography, insurance, recreation, and catalog offers. Information on any product that your company offers that can offer these young families a better way of life will be welcomed.
No other life cycle list offers the accuracy, cost-efficiency or selections of OUR new parents mailing lists. You can even select parents of New Babies by their actual month-of-birth.
Updated Every Week
Our New Baby lists are updated weekly, adding fresh new names to our New Parents Mailing Lists on a continuous basis. Using more than 50 general public and proprietary sources, such as newspapers, baby photographers, retail stores, diaper services, maternity clothing stores, and hospital gift pack programs enables us to identify approximately 3,200,000 births each year.
Our goal is to source data across many different categories and multiple industries, resulting in the compilation of a heterogeneous file. Normally, 85% of the records are added within six months of the child's birth.
Marketers can sign up for our monthly service and get brand new names on an on-going basis or select recent births (for example, you can ask for the last 3, 6 or 9 months worth of New Births)
Life Insurance agents are big users of New Parents mailing lists. With new responsibilities, many new parents are eager to protect their families. Water Conditioning Dealers are also fans of our New Baby list. Parents want the purest water to mix formula, wash diapers & baby clothes and keep their babies healthy. This list lets Dealers reach new parents on an on-going basis each month.
New Parents Mailing Lists – Select Options
- Home ownership
- Estimated Household Income
- Parent age
- Dwelling unit type
- Scrubbed Telephone number
- Number of months since birth
Need your list today?
Same Day Turnaround for lists by e-mail in text, excel or word label format.

I wonder if there is a way for students to play a game on a different topic that would enable information literacy skill development and in which success is dependent on high levels of information literacy abilities?
The next step to gaming within the higher education curriculum is to create games, as you said, "on a different topic that would enable information literacy skill development." If we think of gaming and information literacy, than just like info lit, the more it is tied to meaningful content the more successful it can be.While I've been fortunate to help highlight the work of libraries creating info lit games, we are missing a larger potential. We can remove the game out of a library context and still teach info lit skills. And by removing the library context it is possible to remove some of the reluctance that Jenna describe.There's a lot of work to do on that end, but it's work worth doing.

Online security has been at the forefront of the development of Business Online and is a critical component of the solution. Secure login and credential management ensures client, user and transaction security built on the most advanced technology available.
Additional security layers and features – including user access control, segregation of duties and audit trails – also enable you to manage your security needs within the system.
2-factor authentication is a security process in which the user provides two authentication factors to verify they are who they say they are. It's an added security measure that makes the theft of logon credentials difficult for fraudsters.
We use the latest technology to control access to the system. In addition to username and password, 2-factor authentication provides an extra layer of security to verify the identity of users.
This is key to internal controls and provides for role-based security and access and is customised to workflow processes. Segregation and authorisation are available for both transaction processing and user profile management levels.
To protect your business's finances, transaction limits can be set at customer, user and transaction level. This controls the amount of funds that can be transferred between your accounts or paid out to beneficiaries.
A data log captures the records that make up an audit trail, and audit trail reports assemble these records, so they can be scrutinised. Both interim and final audit logs are provided for, and they can be viewed, exported and printed.
To ensure that your payments are going into bona fide bank accounts, we verify account information before making payments or collecting funds. This assists our clients to reduce unnecessary costs associated with payments or collects.
With this feature, you can completely deny access to your online banking profile at certain times of the day and on certain days of the week, giving you increased peace of mind – especially outside of normal business hours.

FIFA 12 Foot-To-Ball Demo Impressions
In one minute I'll be announcing the announcement that the new demo of FIFA 12 will be being announced in a few minutes. That's a new demo for FIFA 12 that I will tell you has been released just as soon as I've announced that I'm announcing its imminent announcement. There's a FIFA 12 demo out! Wait, damn, that was too soon.
Gosh, I love foot-to-ball. I'm its number one fan. Every week you can see me by the rink side, hollering for my favourite team to get more points than the other one, and win the county cup. Which is why it'll come as no surprise to anyone that I'm here to tell you all about the new demo for FIFA 12. (Some people may not be as familiar with the sport as I, and not know that FIFA stands for Foot-to-ball Is Flipping Awesome, but now you do.)
So I set myself up with a round of the game, in which I played OM (a transcendental meditative team), fighting against BVB (the good old Brian's Vibrant Boys). We played two frames, during which I was able to experience the new Tactical Defending elements of the game. They're pretty self explanatory, but I played through the tutorial anyway, where I was informed obvious things like,
"Holding RB calls a teammate to pressure the dribbler. If held while the player you are controlling is containing him, your teammate will Double the dribbler. Have your teammate contain the dribbler for 6 seconds to complete the drill."
I guess there will be some people who don't know about pressuring dribbles under double control, so I suppose such inclusions are necessary. I mean, it's no worse than "Press Space to jump"!
I'll tell you what – some feet touched some balls in those field events! There were tackles, a couple of headers, and at least one point was scored every half-round. It was thrilling, as the commentators let me know. The good thing about the commentary in FIFA 12's demo is that it's able to remind you of the events that happened about 30 seconds before they're said, because otherwise such things are all too easy to forget.
Then this alien being came down and joined in on my side. It was amazing! He could do kicks up in the air, and did five dribbles! But then the players started turning into ghosts, so he was sent off.
I got in a bit of trouble when I plunged my arm through the back of one of my teammates and then ripped out his still beating heart. But a yellow card?! Come on, reverend!
I don't like to boast, but I won that first round of footing, before losing the second in a penalty shoot-out, because I didn't look up which button it was to move the goal defender.
And then it was time for tea.

The NHS published its latest statistics on social care this month, which showed improvements in many areas for disabled social care users. But dig a little deeper into the data, and you'll find that there is still room for improvement, with many people reporting they need more choice and control in their lives.
There is a general rule at the moment in social care that things are not going so well for the people who use this essential service. Research Scope undertook, for example, found more than 50 per cent of participants felt social care does not support working age disabled people to live independently, and in separate research on integrated care we found this system needs to get better at taking into account the needs of working age disabled people at the planning and delivery stages so it can work for all social care users, not primarily for those over 65.
We know that a significant proportion of young disabled people – those between ages 17 and 30 – can suffer 'significant setbacks' as a result of inadequate care, which includes not getting the care they need for extended periods, or finding it difficult to access employment. So with this year's latest survey results on social care user's perceptions of the service published two weeks ago, are things getting better? Perhaps.
What we found
Every year NHS Digital brings out its Personal Social Services Adult Social Care Survey. The survey asks around 70,000 social care users what their views are on a number of aspects of the service, of which approximately 97.5 per cent identified a condition or impairment as their prime reason for needing social care. We drew our findings from this group.
What we found from our research is that broadly speaking, many disabled social care users see the system as delivering a decent standard of care. That care supports them to have more control over their lives, as well interact with others socially (which many who don't rely on social care support take for granted).
When asked whether care helps them to have a better quality of life, a staggering 92 per cent said yes. And over 60 per cent said they felt very good or good about their life at the moment. Few would say these aren't top marks for social care's score card.
Digging a little deeper
It's only when you dig a bit deeper into the data that more still needs to be done to improve outcomes for disabled social care users. On questions about choice and control, a significant proportion (34 per cent) reported as having as much choice and control over their lives as they wanted, and 90 per cent said care and support services help disabled people to have control over their daily life. This still leaves two thirds (66 per cent) of respondents who felt they could have more control over their lives, and 6 per cent having no control over their daily life.
On social contact, levels are good but there is room for improvement. Generally respondents said that they had as much social contact as they want (45 per cent). But for 32 per cent of respondents, the amount of social contact they had was just "adequate", meaning for some there is a need for improvement, and the remaining 22 per cent said they were not getting enough or felt socially isolated.
What next?
It is really promising to see progress is being made and satisfaction is on the up in some areas of social care. Central government and local authorities still have some work to do to drive those numbers up across the board, and we recognise this starts by increasing funding into social care in order to make the good intentions of the Care Act achievable.
Later this year, we will publish a report on young disabled people's experiences of using support services to live independently. Read more about our work on social care on our website.

The issue, which may have persisted for months or perhaps even longer, was flagged by Bay Area software engineer Gabriel Lewi, who tweeted about it earlier this week. Prominent technology critic and sociologist Zeynep Tufekci then used the situation as a springboard to criticize Facebook's alleged unethical behavior, thinking the 2FA notifications may have been an intentional method for Facebook to boost user engagement.
"I am sorry for any inconvenience these messages might have caused. We are working to ensure that people who sign up for two-factor authentication won't receive non-security-related notifications from us unless they specifically choose to receive them, and the same will be true for those who signed up in the past," Stamos writes in the blog post. "We expect to have the fixes in place in the coming days. To reiterate, this was not an intentional decision; this was a bug."

A bit worrying when your two factor security system starts acting up on its own and sending messages randomly.

6 Surprising Ways to Brush Your Teeth Better
Why you should floss before brushing, brush before your morning cup of Joe and more
Back and forth, up and down — or around in circles? What's the best way to brush teeth? As it turns out, nobody really knows. A recent study in the British Dental Journal revealed that dental associations, toothbrush makers and even dentists give wide-ranging and conflicting advice.
The best way to find out if your teeth cleaning technique is effective is to ask your dentist, says Mary Hayes, DDS, a pediatric dentist in Chicago and a spokesperson for the American Dental Association. Some methods are better suited for specific dental conditions, such as receding gums, periodontal disease, bridge work and braces, adds Alice Lee, DDS, a pediatric dentist at Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, New York.
No matter what technique you use, these six strategies can help you smile brighter and protect your pearly whites (and soft pinks).
1. Floss first, then brush
"The bristles of your brush can't reach into every crevice between teeth, so flossing at least once a day needs to be a part of your regular routine," says Steven Davidowitz, DDS, a dentist in New York City. By flossing before you brush, you loosen plaque and food particles so your toothbrush can sweep them away more easily.
2. Get a (gentle) grip
Grasping a toothbrush tightly with your fist can cause you to scrub so hard that you damage your gums and even scratch away at the delicate enamel, says Sivan Finkel, DMD, a dentist in New York City. Hold the brush lightly — use just two fingers if that helps. You want to get the tips of the bristles just under the gum line, so angle the head of the brush 45 degrees upward for upper teeth and 45 degrees downward for the lower ones. Hold the brush flat to clean the areas away from the gums and chewing surfaces.
3. Zoom in the tough spots
It's easy to swipe the brush along the teeth's flat surfaces, but the harder-to-reach areas need the most attention. "Concentrate on the front and bottom teeth and the ones all the way in the back ," advises Brian Novy, DDS, a dentist at the DentaQuest Institute, a national non-profit organization devoted to improving oral health care.
Spend 30 seconds cleaning each quadrant of your mouth for a total of two minutes of brushing. Brush at least twice a day.
4. Brush before your morning Joe
Seriously. If you're a first-thing-in-the-morning OJ or coffee drinker, brush before you sip. "Because these beverages are acidic, they can temporarily soften tooth enamel," explains Finkel. "Brushing after drinking them can damage the surface of your teeth." Rinse well after you brush to banish the toothpaste taste: Mint doesn't pair well with juice or coffee.
5. Be choosy about toothpaste
According to a recent Swedish study, high fluoride toothpaste leaves behind a higher concentration of fluoride in plaque and saliva than standard toothpaste. The study also found that brushing three times a day increased fluoride retention. Can't manage to brush more than twice a day? No problem. The research also found that massaging high-fluoride toothpaste directly onto the teeth with a finger was an effective alternative to brushing a third time.
6. Swish after a soda
Simply swishing water in your mouth (or better yet, a mixture of ¼ teaspoon baking soda and eight ounces of water) will help to neutralize your mouth after an acidic meal or beverage, says Lee.

Who's this crazy guy completely in his element in the hills of California? That's Hardy Wallace, a friend of mine who has been working hard and living his dream with Murphy-Goode Winery in Sonoma wine country. He's since announced a new gig at The NPA and Michel-Schlumberger Winery and I couldn't be happier for him.
Natural wine is one of his passions, and when in San Francisco in the fall he made sure to take Tami and I to Terroir, a natural wine merchant and bar in SoMA where we had a great time.
I spent a week in Sonoma last year during Thanksgiving and Michel-Schlumberger was one of our stops. It's an incredibly beautiful property and, as I discussed with my new friend Jenna while I was out there, our photos can't do justice in describing how beautiful Sonoma is. I can only imagine how beautiful it'll be to wake up to this view every day.
You'll have to visit — but in the meantime, I'll of course indulge you with a few photos. Please join me in congratulating Hardy in this next chapter in California!

The National Investigation Agency personnel on Thursday searched six different places in Punjab in connection with this month's terrorist attack on an Indian Air Force base in Pathankot in the state.
The places raided included the office and residences of Salwinder Singh, a Superintendent of Police with Punjab Police and his friends in Amritsar and Gurdaspur, according to sources. Salwinder's residence is at Chowk Jai Singh, inside the walled city in Amritsar.
Salwinder's jeweller friend Rajesh Verma, whose throat was 'slit' allegedly by the terrorists after kidnapping them along with cook Madan Gopal, was also searched, besides the homes of Madan Gopal and a woman friend of Salwinder.
Amritsar Police Commissioner Jatinder Singh Aulakh said that Punjab Police provided assistance to the NIA team as sought by the agency.
Salwinder, now in New Delhi for the last few days, underwent a lie detector test on Wednesday as part of the investigation into the Pathankot attack. He is set to undergo behavioural tests, too.
Salwinder is currently Assistant Commandant of 75th Punjab Armed Police after being transferred as Superintendent of Police (Headquarters) in Gurdaspur.
Media reports said Singh was expected to be produced before a team of scientists for 'behavioural test' along with 'psychoanalysts' who would give a scientific assessment of his personality.
The attack, which happened on the night of December 31-January 1, is suspected to have been launched by Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed. The attack comes just a week after Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on his way back from Afghanistan, made an unscheduled visit to Lahore to wish his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif on his birthday and attend a wedding in his family.
The terrorists attack on IAF base, however, failed to make a dent in the defence cordon that is located close to the border with Pakistan as they met with effective response from the security forces, police and security officials said.
Four bodies of terrorists were recovered while two others are believed to have been burnt in the building where they were hold up during the encounter which lasted for about 80 hours. A few Indian security personnel were also killed in the encounter.

Each class spans a semester, allowing students time to engage in the experience and reflect on their learning.
In the spring term and throughout the second year, students select electives to develop specialized knowledge and focus on specific industries. Students can tailor the curriculum to meet their goals with student-initiated elective courses, designing courses of their own in conjunction with a faculty member. Electives can be selected from seven areas of general management fundamentals, including: Accounting, Business & Public Policy, Economic Analysis & Public Policy, Finance, Management of Organizations, Marketing, and Operations & Information Technology Management.
Berkeley Haas full-time MBA students can choose to focus their elective studies on an expanded number of in-depth academic areas.

A required applied innovation course that enables students to hone leadership skills in a real-life setting may be taken as early as the spring semester. The applied innovation course requirement is taken in conjunction with a teamwork module, designed to make the experience as meaningful as possible. Students choose one or more from more than a dozen programs.
Students are encouraged to take advantage of international opportunities, such as spending a semester abroad, planning study trips to other countries during breaks, or serving as consultants through the school's acclaimed International Business Development program.

The European Commission has threatened Microsoft with daily fines of €3 million if it doesn't provide information about its Windows operating system by 23 November, the Guardian reports.
Competition commissioner Neelie Kroes described Microsoft as "trying her patience", according to the report. "I don't have eternal life," she is reported to have said.
The Commission fined Microsoft €280.5 million in July for failing to provide information as ordered in a landmark antitrust ruling in March 2004.
Microsoft initially claimed that it didn't understand what information the Commission wanted. The 2004 ruling ordered the firm to make available enough information about Windows to allow makers of rival server software programs to design their products to work as seamlessly with Windows as Microsoft's own server operating system.
After a hearing earlier this year, Microsoft said it finally understood what the Commission was after, and submitted what it said was the final installment of information on 19 July.
However, Kroes said this isn't enough: "I am not impressed if someone says 90 per cent of the information is already there when we need 100 per cent. It's a jigsaw and some parts are missing. In my opinion, this information should have been here a couple of months ago," the newspaper quotes her as saying.
Neither the Commission nor Microsoft were immediately available to comment.

Private Sector Solutions To India's Prevailing E-Waste Management Challenges
- +0
- +0
A recent article in The Hindu Business Line pointed to "endemic policy problems" as the cause of the country's ongoing struggles in the management of electronic waste. In 2011 the government passed the E-waste Management and Handling Act, putting responsibility for management of e-waste on the producers, rather than the end-users, of the original product. But despite the effort to streamline the recycling and proper handling of e-waste, the act has done little to curb the mishandling of dangerous waste that leads to the contamination of groundwater and harmful health effects for the handlers.
In cases like e-waste management where public policy proves incapable of addressing an issue adequately, we are likely to find a number of private players capitalizing on the government's shortcoming. These gaps are often filled by social enterprises looking to use market strategies to create impact in an area of need. In 2010 we featured ReGlobe, founded by Nakul Kumar and Mandeep Manocha, which purchases old computers directly from users, refurbishes them, and then re-sells them at affordable costs. Given the prevailing challenges faced in the management of dangerous e-waste in India, we decided to reconnect with ReGlobe to explore how market based approaches can make a difference on such issues.
"We reduce the burden on environment for raw materials needed for manufacturing new devices by effectively putting to use what still has life in it or could be made usable by our expert refurbishing team," explains Nakul Kumar. "This way we help prevent e-waste generation. We are changing the ways of consumption, inculcating the philosophy of 'one man's waste could be other man's resource.'"
Nakul recently spoke with us to update us on his venture, the market for refurbished computers and his plans for the future of ReGlobe. Edited excerpts:
SocialStory: Tell us about your journey to start ReGlobe, and how the company has grown since its inception in 2009.
Nakul Kumar: Waste management in India has long been a linear system of collection and disposal, creating health and environmental hazards. Today urban India is facing a massive waste disposal problem which is only going to grow in the years to come. When we started in 2009, the problem of waste was still seen as one of cleaning and disposing rubbish and the market was opening up to the idea of organized waste management and resource recovery. Many private players had started taking waste seriously and started building independent verticals for waste management. That is when we too decided, after a lot of deliberation on various business ideas, to foray into this field and build a world class organization built on technology, people and values.
We started with an aim to provide innovative solutions for end-of-life product disposal (products past their expiry date or products past their useful life) and maximum value recovery using environmentally safe processes and technology. Average lifetime of products range from a few weeks to few years. For example, packaged foods (weeks or a few months), tyres (2-3 year), cars (7-8 years), mobile phones (2-3 years), laptops (2-3 years) etc. At the end of this period, these articles have to be treated in a way that the environmental and health hazards are minimized. Our company focused on designing/formulating the best disposal techniques for maximum value recovery and then executing the project in the most cost effective process.
Since 2009, we have worked on many projects including designing reverse logistics systems for mobile phone recycling, safe handling of CFLs, waste management and disposal on Indian trains, Scrap Tyre Recycling etc.
Our last project which we successfully exited by selling the business was Scrap Tyre recycling producing Fuel Oil and Carbon Black. End of life tyres present formidable disposal problems. Tyres are well known to be virtually immune to biological degradation. Thus tyres take up large amounts of valuable landfill space and also present fire and health hazards. We adopted catalytic pyrolytic reforming approach to convert waste tyres into sellable products hence eliminating tyre as an environment nuisance.
Our latest venture is a re-commerce website (www.reglobe.in) dealing in purchase and sale of old laptops. We buy used, obsolete or otherwise undesirable laptops from consumers directly and sell those laptops by refurbishing them to a new consumer segment. To briefly describe: we offer a guaranteed price to the owner of the laptop; organizing Free pick-up and Instant Cash; we refurbish the laptops in our specialized workshop; and we then sell those brand new old laptops ( refurbished) for re –use.
SS: Do you plan on expanding into other electronics or staying with second hand computers? How many computers have you refurbished?
NK: Our current priority is to expand in geography i.e. cover more cities. Currently we are doing Delhi & NCR and just started the service in Mumbai this week. Next expansion plan is to add more categories. Next in line are smart phones and tablets (like iPad, Galaxy Tab etc) which we hope to add at the end of April.
In the first month of our operation, mid Feb to mid March, we sold 120 refurbished Laptops.
SS: Are you only online or do you have an offline office location?
NK: For Buy-Back of Old Laptops, we two options…online platform where we provide online product evaluation using a simple calculator, give a fair guaranteed price and pick-up the laptop from customer's home or office at a convenient time and offer instant cash. We also do Buy-back camps at corporate office, RWAs and Schools.
For selling Re-furbished Laptops, we have an online portal and if someone wants to see the laptop before buying, we give him or her the option of coming to our office in Gurgaon and check it physically before buying.
SS: What is the market for refurbished computers, and what is the general mindset in regards to buying second hand computers?
NK: There is no official figure on the market size of refurbished computers as it is a highly unorganized and fragmented industry and most of the transactions take place in a clandestine manner without a bill to avoid taxation. Every day hundreds of refurbished computers are traded in markets like Nehru Place and local computer repair shops in small towns and there is a huge market in various student consumer segments.
Generally, the perception so far in people's mind regarding second hand computers is that of lack of trust and fear regarding the long term performance and break-down possibility of the machine. The major problem is that you would not get an after sales support from any of the current un-organized vendors and as soon as you leave the market, there is no guarantee on the product. Moreover, there are chances that you may end up buying a stolen laptop and may get in trouble. This is where we realized there is a gap and started ReGlobe to provide quality refurbished products and give on-site after-sales support and technical backing for one full year.
We are ourselves using refurbished laptops (our whole team) for 4 months now and we feel no difference in performance and have not faced any other issue. If the product comes to you after our rigorous testing standards and expert refurbishment, it is as good as new.
SS: What is the future growth plan for ReGlobe?
NK: Our immediate goal is expand into all major cities in India and build a Pan India network to Buy and Sell second hand products. Next we would add categories like smart phones and tablets. Our long term aim is to become a one stop shop for selling and buying second hand stuff and get instant cash.

Florida Gay Rights Activists Boycott Orange Juice, 1977-1980
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Boycotts were a popular method of nonviolent action during the 1960s and 1970s, highlighted by the Montgomery bus boycotts during the mid 1950s and the California grape boycott in 1965, that stood in solidarity with Filipino farm workers. Most boycotts in the 1970s worked to affect institutional or policy change, and such was the nature of the LGBT movement's orange juice boycott of 1977, which targeted Anita Bryant and the Florida Citrus Commission.
On January 18th, 1977 the Dade County Commission of Miami, Florida approved a law that would outlaw discrimination against gays and lesbians in the workplace and housing markets. A gay lobbying group named Dade County Coalition for the Humanistic Rights of Gays, which was formed only a year before, had requested that this bill be brought before the Commission by Commissioner Ruth Shack. The lobbying group was led by gay activists Jack Campbell, Bob Basker, and Bob Kunst.
In early 1977, former American pop star and beauty pageant winner Anita Bryant began campaigning in Dade County, Florida to repeal the local ordinance. She formed the group Save Our Children in 1977 and led an aggressive campaign to amass votes on a public petition for the repeal of the ordinance. As the President of Save Our Children, Anita Bryant claimed that "known practicing homosexuals" were converting children to homosexuality. Dade County Coalition for the Humanistic Rights of Gays and Save Our Children were the key actors in the boycott.
Having gained popularity in the United States for her chart topping songs, Anita Bryant had been previously hired by the Florida Citrus Commission in 1969 as their spokeswoman. Bryant used her celebrity to garner support for Save Our Children, the primary purpose of which was to repeal the ordinance that protected gay and lesbian residents of Dade County from housing and employment discrimination based on their sexuality. Save Our Children was a personal project of Bryant's, but in the November of 1977 the Florida Citrus Commission openly supported her campaign.
The Florida Citrus Commission's public support of Save Our Children is what catalyzed the 1977 boycott. National human rights advocates and gay rights activists supported the Dade County Coalition for the Humanistic Rights of Gays in a nationwide boycott of consumer goods, targeted at Florida orange juice. Some gay rights activists were concerned that the boycott could threaten Anita Bryant's career when she had been acting as a private citizen. Another faction of the protesters were concerned with the possibility that Bryant would be portrayed as a political martyr to the Christian right. However, these qualms seemed to have dissipated when the Citrus Commission threw its weight behind the issue.
The boycott was arranged by a partnership between the Dade County Coalition for the Humanistic Rights of Gays and the national LGBTQ movement. It was bolstered by support from the iconic gay activist and politician Harvey Milk as well as the Alameda County Democratic Central Committee and the San Francisco Tavern Guild. The goals of the boycott were to bring national attention to the ordinance and exert pressure on the area to uphold the ordinance. The movement was fortified by Milk's recognition and the backing of columnists from the Bay Area Reporter and the gay rights paper The Advocate, who appealed to people's patriotism by drawing connections between the Florida orange juice boycott and the Boston Tea Party.
Both private citizens and organizations condemned the Florida Citrus Commission. The San Francisco Tavern Guild and many gay bars and restaurants across the country stopped purchasing Florida orange juice. Gay bars participated in the boycott by serving modified screwdrivers with apple juice instead of orange juice, named the "Anita Bryant." Furthermore, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists unanimously voted "to deny their services and talents to Bryant." As a symbol of solidarity, activists wore flags and pins that mocked Bryant and the Florida Citrus Commission. In one of the more aggressive moves by the gay rights activists, they threw a pie in the face of Bryant during an event she attended in Iowa.
While organizations that supported the gay rights movement mobilized support for the boycott, the opposition used its own connections to further support for the message of Save Our Children. Newspapers such as the Miami Herald ran recycled stories from previous years about gay sex crimes. From the pulpits on Sunday mornings, local priests urged their congregations to take political action by voting for the repeal of the ordinance. Despite the efforts of the nationwide boycott of Florida orange juice, in June 1977 residents of Dade County repealed the ordinance by a large majority with a margin of 69 to 31.
While this was a massive loss for gay rights activists, in 1980 they celebrated when Bryant's rapidly diminishing career was highlighted by her firing from the Florida Citrus Commission. Save Our Children's popularity sank with that of Anita Bryant. While gay activists were happy with the fact that Bryant's national fame was permanently damaged, their primary goal of upholding the ordinance had failed. Furthermore, the Florida Citrus Commission never formally retracted its support for Bryant and would go on to support openly homophobic spokespeople in the future.
In 1998, Dade County passed a new gay and lesbian rights ordinance that remains until this day, which conservative Christian groups attempted and failed to repeal in 2002.

- Thick, beautiful, virtual analog sounds.
- Transparent interface (providing you're familiar with analog synthesizers).
- Excellent value.
- Sounds lack warmth at times.
- Sequencer is exceedingly basic.
Hardware-based virtual analog synthesizers remain a favorite of keyboard players. First becoming popular in the 1990s, with models like the Roland JP-8000, the Yamaha AN1x, and the Korg Prophecy, virtual analog synths fed into pent-up demand for the analog synthesizers of the late 1970s and early 1980s—retaining their vast array of controls and fat analog sound, but losing the inaccurate tunings and horrible reliability that plagued many of the originals. Sunrizer captures the feel and the sound of these instruments to an amazing degree, considering it's a $4.99 iPad app. It's an easy Editors' Choice as a result.
User Interface and Preset Sounds
For this review, I tested Sunrizer 1.1 on an iPad 2. The main interface looks just like a miniature version of a Roland or Novation virtual analog synthesizer. A small keyboard at the bottom lets you play live; you can scroll back and forth horizontally to change the octave, as well as lock it in place so it doesn't slip by accident. To the left are pitch and modulation wheels. The real action occurs on top; you select new patches by tapping the pseudo LCD readout, set the arpeggiator with the flashing Tempo button, and modify app settings with the Util button, one of which gives you three width sizes for the piano bed.
There are 216 preset sounds in the default bank, plus an extra 36 in a separate Sunrizer 2 bank. DStep is like its namesake, with dub-style wah textures for instant Skrillex. There are numerous arpeggiators and minor chord patches for generating techno-style beds, plus a flurry of lead, bass, and pad sounds that can keep you busy for days. Invocation Pad is suitably lush and breathy, while Campfire Keys provides a warm analog tone with a little pop at the beginning of each note. You can sift through the sound banks more easily by highlighting tags such as Dark, Chord, or Pad, which helps you find the right sounds quickly. I would have preferred some slightly warmer and thicker sounds, but judicious use of the frequency and resonance knobs helped with this.
Synth Structure, Arpeggiator, and Conclusions
This being a virtual analog synthesizer, all those knobs, buttons, and sliders are there for a reason. At its core, Sunrizer is a subtractive-additive, two-oscillator synthesizer with a multi mode and resonant filter. It includes all the usual attack, delay, sustain, and release sliders for the filter and amplifier, and there are six styles for the LFO. You can easily save your creations, as well as edit existing patches to create modified versions. It takes a little practice to learn how to change the values on the knobs, but the LED-style trail around each one shows you at a glance where the current setting is.
Sunrizer contains some interesting live performance tools. For example, you can save chords with the Chord key, which you can then trigger with single piano notes, as well as hold (or latch) arpeggiators and even morph between two sounds using the modulation wheel. There's a basic sequencer on board for recording ideas, and you can lock it to a click track. But you can't quantize notes, and it's tough to develop full compositions without drums, vocals, or other instrument sounds; consider the sequencer a scratchpad and nothing more.
You're never far from help with Sunrizer, as the Util button also contains a link to the online manual PDF. It's quite thorough and well written despite a few translation-related typos. Anyone with the extra bucks should also have a look at

The Louisville men's basketball team led an hour-long demonstration on Friday, calling for unity, tolerance and equality two days after no officers were charged for their role in Breonna Taylor's death.
"It hits different when it happens in your own backyard," a player said in Louisville's video. "I think I can speak for a lot of guys here when I say we're hurting."
Keep fighting for change. pic.twitter.com/OIVzLaRSbU— Louisville Basketball (@LouisvilleMBB) September 26, 2020
Taylor was a 26-year-old EMT in Louisville. She was shot and killed by police in March and on Wednesday a grand jury decided not to move forward with charges in her death. An officer was charged with wanton endangerment for shooting into a neighbor's apartment.
Louisville players: 'It's time to take a stand'
Coach Chris Mack and players David Johnson, Charles Minlend and Malik Williams gave speeches and led the peaceful march from Cardinal Stadium to Throws Field, per the Louisville Courier-Journal. It was the 121st day of protests in Louisville since Taylor's death.
Hundreds of Cardinals athletes and citizens joined them chanting "Breonna Taylor" and "No justice, no peace." Players wore black T-shirts with the Cardinal logo and "BLM."
Tough. TOGETHER. Unbreakable. pic.twitter.com/cAvEy2eHlZ— Louisville Basketball (@LouisvilleMBB) September 25, 2020
Williams, a 6-foot-11 senior from Indiana, spoke at the demonstration, via the Courier-Journal.
"Over the past three years, I've come to love the city of Louisville. Louisville has become home. Louisville is family. I love the 'Ville with all my heart. That's why I share my deepest condolences with the Taylor family," Williams said. "It breaks my heart to hear the situation and the tragedy that Breonna went through. And to not see justice be served, it is time to take a stand. It is time to take a stand against police brutality and social injustice against the Black community."
He urged the crowd to attend a voter registration event next weekend — echoing the call by professional athletes that "justice is on the ballot" — and shared his gratitude on social media later in the night.
WE MUST BE THE CHANGE WE WANT TO SEE! THIS WAS ONLY THE START! Thank you to all who supported us with the march, even those who could not make it. It's Love 🖤 we have to get rid of stigmas, discrimination, racism and hate! Extremely grateful for this eye opening experience. pic.twitter.com/pa1QX1TCx3— Malik Williams5⃣ (@leek_willi) September 26, 2020
Mack told the Courier-Journal he was proud to be the Cardinals coach and support the unified front during a time when the country is "so daggone divided."
"I understand as a white guy, a white 50-year-old, that Black America is hurting. And in order for Black America to not hurt, white people have got to get involved. Older white people," Mack said, via the Journal.
Athletic director Vince Tyra called it a "difficult day" for the city, university and athletic department in a statement the day of the grand jury announcement.

New charge to be filed against Anthony J. Garcia
Judge dismisses discovery motion filed by defense
A doctor accused in four Omaha murders now faces a charge of attempted burglary.
Authorities said forensic evidence links Dr. Anthony J. Garcia, a former Creighton University pathology resident, to the crime at the home of one of his former bosses, Dr. Chhanda Bewtra.
-- READ: Attempted break-in at CU professor's home disconcerting
The latest development in the case comes on the same day a judge dismissed a motion filed by Garcia's defense team, who argued for better access to evidence.
Garcia, 40, faces eight felony counts, including four counts of first-degree murder, in the deaths of Thomas Hunter, Shirlee Sherman and Dr. Roger and Mary Brumback.
Authorities allege that Garcia sought revenge for his termination at Creighton and his subsequent failure to earn medical licenses in various states.
-- READ: Garcia's applications for medical licenses show struggle to hide past
Garcia walked into court, handcuffed and ankles shackled, shortly after 2:30 p.m., joining defense attorneys Alison Motta and Pat Dunn.
Garcia's defense team argued that the state isn't allowing them access to the evidence and isn't turning over reports in a timely fashion.
"We are at a standstill unless we can get specific evidence," Motta said. "It's urgent material to our case."
Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine said prosecutors are working as fast as they can, already handing over 14 binders of police reports and 5,000 photos, while still working to copy 1,200 discs of interviews.
"The defense counsel has everything we have," Kleine said. "They requested data from electronic searches. We've given that to them today."
Judge Duane Dougherty said Kleine is not acting inappropriately and dismissed the defense's motion, saying that they're only more than four weeks into the case and he doesn't feel prosecutors are holding anything back.
"I have worked with the county attorney's office for 25 years, and essentially what you're asking me to do is speed up the process," Doughtery said. "If you submit a formal request, and the prosecution denies it, that's why I'm here."
Among the information the defense wants is whether any others were considered persons of interest in the murders and details about what investigators heard from potential witnesses -- including an exotic dancer to whom Garcia allegedly revealed the crimes.
According to court documents, the defense is waiting on test results on items recovered from Garcia's vehicles, the parts of the gun and knives found at the Brumback home and electronic records from Garcia's phone and tablet.
"We are disappointed we aren't getting evidence faster," Motta said.

Benue killings: Tor Tiv blows hot over 'genocide'
The Tor Tiv, His Royal Majesty Prof James Ayatse has alleged that the killings of Benue indigenes in the New Year attacks were signs of genocide.
The Tor Tiv said this on Thursday in Makurdi during the requiem mass for the mass burial of 73 people killed by herdsmen on January 1 in Guma and Logo local government councils.
He said the persistent attacks on Benue communities were worrisome, especially since the federal government failed to prevent re-occurrence.
The monarch lamented that the herdsmen have attacked Benue 47 times in five years, attacks, he said were akin to an agenda of genocide.
"I, therefore, call on the Federal Government to act swiftly by putting an end to this killings; this act of impunity must stop."
He encouraged Gov Samuel Ortom to stand firm in his resolve to implement the anti open grazing law.
The paramount ruler called for prayers for the dead and appealed to the media to continue to report the carnage that had befallen the state.

I had something else planned. (I should know about plans by now.)
But I feel I just need to get it out there.
February is a month I hate. And no it isn't because of Valentines day.
As I wrote last week, I lost a VERY close friend in February 7 years ago.
In the last 15 years or so, I've lost A LOT of people in the month of February. I've lost grandparents, friends, a pastor, and loved ones. February seems to be a cursed month in my eyes. It totals more than 10 people I've loved.
2013 is proving to follow suit and it makes me want to crawl into a hole out of grasps of the pains in this world.
I received a message from my mother last week Thursday.
My uncle who was only 31 passed away in an accident at work.
I'm shocked....I'm discontent....I'm disconnected.
You see...
The pain is there. The realization that I will never again see this beloved friend is there.
But I'm not there. I'm here. I'm alone in all of this.
Hubby Dearest knows. He understands. He sympathizes. But as before I try to hide the pain away. It isn't fair he feels anything negative.
There is a guilt that comes with these situations. A guilt for us both that I am here and unable to be there.
I've learnt coping mechanisms over the years. I will speak regularly with my family. I will write. I will cry in silent waves as I shower or bath. My children will not know. My husband will not see. After a couple of months, the emails between my family and I will slow to a normal pace and the pain will fade into the background.
But I'm not there to say my goodbyes. I'm not there for the closure of seeing his face one last time. I'm not there to hold and be held by those in the midst of loss.
So the next time it happens...I relive this one too. Each time I loose someone...I live them all from before. There is no closure. There is no way to make my mind let go. I just keep in bottled. I keep it hidden. I keep it safe...
safe from whom...I am not sure.
Mikey was very close to me growing up. He is only 8 years older than I. We grew up two houses apart from each other. We would go fishing with my Dad. He taught me to skateboard. He walked me home from primary school everyday and fixed my after school snacks exactly how I wanted them.
I remember once when I was 6 I had some how managed to talk this teenager into playing beauty shop with me! He vowed never again.
I would curl up in his lap on the couch and watch Mortal Kombat (back when it was still cool...oh hell IT IS STILL COOL!! Our kids will never know the joys of the first video games!;-])
I remember when the 'air brush' art sets came out and he was one of the first to get one. I'd dance around him in my most annoying voice crying to get him to let me play with it!
I remember once when he got in trouble at the local Walmart and I cried in the car as my grandma had to go pick him up. As we stood there they asked me what was wrong and I feared they were 'a lockin' my Mikey away.' The things teenagers do right?!?
He introduced me to Snoop Doggity Dog and Tupac.
He laughed as I blared Britney Spears and Nsync and sung EVERY lyric. ;-)
Once, after having been warned multiple times by Mikey that I'd get hurt, I got hurt jumping from a barn to a trampoline. He was the first at my side and promised to never tell my parents what happened. He never did.
All the way up until I left America, I could always call on him. Whether it was that I wanted my ex-boyfriend scared or I needed a ride home from work at 2 am. He ALWAYS answered. He ALWAYS came. He ALWAYS smiled at me.
Most of all what I remember is him always being there when I needed or even wanted him. Never any questions. Never any grief. Just a smile and a hug.
I was his only niece but I swear God had given me a brother.
So in memory of my Mikey today I post this....
I know I'm far away today
As our family gathers near
God's blessed us with a guardian
And another listening ear
I have so many memories
Each one I hold so tight
I can name them one by one
But man this don't feel right
Please never think I haven't cared
Or that I've forgotten all the years
You can see me now day and night
And know I've cried a thousand tears
You were more than just an uncle
Much more than a mere friend
I have so much love for you
A love that can never end
You were always there for me
Even when I was too young to know
Your impact helped to mold me
Your spirit helped me grow
Fishing trips and summer nights
Memories of a broken heart
After school snacks and learning tricks
The pain pierces like a dart
Today we say goodbye
But never will we forget
Mikey your love was infectious
Some things in life I just don't get…..
I love you, man, and I know you're looking down and watching over me each day. Raise a peace sign to the heavens because your among the angels now.
To my Mom, Uncle Dan, and Aunt Liz. I know you're mourning a brother today. Cherish the memories. Give each other hugs for me. Soak in the love.
