The following is a press release issued by OPPO.
April 4, 2018 - It has been 14 years since we established OPPO Digital in the United States, and with the support of our customers, technical partners, and movie/music studios, we produced many award-winning Hi-Fi audio products and universal disc players, spanning three generations from DVD, Blu-ray, to 4K UHD.
As our latest 4K UHD players reach the pinnacle of their performance, it is time to say goodbye. We are proud to have made such well-regarded products and to have served the enthusiast community. Without our customers' suggestions, encouragement, and support, we could not have accomplished these achievements.

Firmware will continue to be maintained and updates released from time to time. Customers can rest assured that they will continue to receive the high quality service and support that they have come to expect from OPPO Digital.
We greatly appreciate the opportunity to have developed such exciting products for our customers. It has been an honor.
Best regards,
All of us at OPPO Digital

phattyduck wrote:Not sure it will help exactly on this thread, but I was able to get my AC 100% working on my ST205 motor in an '89 Camry. The Camry AC amp controls everything but idle-up. The original signal to the Camry ECU was straight from the power to the AC clutch (12V = AC on). The ST205 activates the idle-up when one of the signals is grounded (don't have my notes with me, otherwise I'd know if it was AC or ACT or whatever). All I had to do is connect the signal to the AC Magnet Clutch Relay to the correct wire from the ECU.
This leaves the high-RPM cutoff in place and allows the AC amp to cycle the compressor when evaporator temps get too low.

Fallen Grace
- Fallen Angels Series 4
Monica Owens
Forneus approached the bar where a woman wearing a pink wig was pouring shots for a bunch of construction workers. The men had obviously had a good day judging by the amount of shots they were putting back. He waited patiently for the woman to notice him. When she did, when those glittering blue eyes turned to him, he felt a hammer straight to his gut. Not just the ever present kick that his brand represented, but an actual breath-lost, fist to the stomach.
Even if he hadn't known why he was coming to this bar, this strip club, when she turned her eyes to him, he knew.
This was Holly Wolfe.
This was his destiny.
Red Sage Publishing, Inc. © 2014 All Rights Reserved
Forneus is done. Done with Chicago. Done with love. Done with everything. He decides to throw himself into helping others, because isn't that what the Fallen Angels are here for? He answers an email by arriving in Las Vegas to help a woman out of a sticky situation. A situation that she has failed to communicate. But anywhere is better than Chicago.
Reader Alert! What happens when a Fallen Angel that hasn't had sex in 500 years meets a stripper off the Vegas strip??? Um, HOTNESS!
To My Readers: Thank you for taking another walk into the Fallen Angels' world. These men are larger than life and the women they love are all of us. Find your Fallen Angel and hang onto him!
About the Author: I've been writing my WHOLE life. Either in my head or on paper. If I'm gazing off in the distance, eyes glazed over, I'm probably watching a scene unfold in my head. But lucky you, you'll get to see it one day, too!

Each year since 2005, Denver's Department of Community Planning and Development has worked with the mayor's office to select winners of the Mayor's Design Awards, which go to homeowners, businesses, nonprofits, artists and other groups and individuals who add to Denver's visual cityscape through excellent design. Among this year's honorees are a neighborhood brewery, a suburban beer garden and two urban retail centers that offer unique spaces for food-and-beverage businesses.

Mayor Michael Hancock will be presenting the awards at 6 p.m. tonight at the Studio Loft of the Denver Performing Arts Complex at a ceremony that's free and open to the public (with a reception to follow). "From homes to restaurants to community gathering places, this city is developing such unique places for the Denver community for years to come," says Hancock. And the community has certainly been gathering at these four food-related winners:
2500 Larimer 2500 Larimer Street This retail and office center in the River North district was constructed from 29 re-purposed shipping containers, made light and inviting with expanses of glass and open rooftop decks. According to the Community Planning and Development Department, the building stands out because it "keys in on the beautiful simplicity and efficiencies of the containers themselves." 2500 Larimer is home to standout eateries Work & Class and Cart-Driver, as well as coffeehouse Huckleberry Roasters. Station 26 Brewing Co. 7045 East 38th Avenue Station 26 opened last December in a re-imagined fire station originally built in 1961. Fire poles, tiled walls and other elements of the original firehouse can still be seen. The brewery's taproom and patio have become gathering places for a North Park Hill neighborhood in dire need of local bars and restaurants.
Keep reading for more of the Mayor's Design Award Winners.
The Source 3350 Brighton Boulevard The Source was originally an ironworks factory built in the late 1800s by the Platte River in what is now a heavily industrial area. Recently dubbed River North, or RiNo, the neighborhood is slowly giving way to apartments, condos, artist studios and offices. The Source provides a variety of food and drink choices for area residents, including Comida Cantina, Acorn, Boxcar Coffee, Crooked Stave Artisan Beer Project and the new RiNo Yacht Club. The Source also houses a bakery, butcher shop, liquor store and specialty foods market. Green Valley Ranch Beer Garden 4995 Argonne Street Sibling to the original Lowry Beer Garden, the Green Valley Ranch Beer Garden offers a sunny venue for residents of Denver's outermost neighborhood to gather and enjoy beer and food in an indoor-outdoor setting that provides entertainment for all ages.

Yolele is a word used in Senegal to express joy and delight. So it's a good title for chef Pierre Thiam's cookbook that bears the subtitle, Recipes from the Heart of Senegal, which celebrates the cuisine of his homeland.
Thiam will be at the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg on Oct. 24 to cook dishes from the book, food that won acclaim from diners at two restaurants he owned in New York. He's now a consultant and caterer as well as an award-winner cookbook writer.
Though Yolele! has an abundance of recipes, it's also an engaging memoir and introduction to Senegalese culture. In a recent telephone interview from his home in New York, Thiam, 47, called it "a tribute to my family."
It is a large, extended family, and photographs of his relatives, friends and Senegalese neighborhoods are interspersed with those of food.
Senegal, located on Africa's west coast, has been for centuries a melting pot, originally of ethnic tribes. Beginning in the 15th century, Europeans began arriving because of its strategic location on the Atlantic Ocean and the opportunity as a trade center (including slaves). The Portuguese, Dutch, British and French came and went but left behind many cultural influences. France was the last foreign nation to govern Senegal, which became independent in 1960. Because Senegalese soldiers also participated in France's colonial governance of what is now Vietnam, many Vietnamese refugees came to Senegal after the French left southeast Asia, so it, too, has a cultural imprint.
Thiam (pronounced "chahm") grew up in Dakar, the sophisticated, multicultural capital, and spent summers at the family home in the country. He was headed to college in Ohio to study chemistry and physics when he was robbed during a stopover in New York and had to find a temporary job. A friend steered him to a busboy opening at a restaurant.
He had always been fascinated by food and cooking and loved watching his mother in the kitchen and reading her cookbooks. But in Senegal, tradition dictates that participation is denied to males; only women are allowed near the pots and pans. In the New York restaurant, he saw the opposite, as he writes in Yolele!
"I was intrigued by the men in white moving in harmony around the flames and knives. It was theatrical, almost magical. … Men cooking! The kitchen felt like a world apart."
Thiam never made it to Cleveland. He read cookbooks at the public library, experimented, and finessed his way into a job at another restaurant in garde manger, or the salad station. He rose through the ranks at various restaurants but didn't explore the cuisine of his homeland until he opened his own place, Yolele, then another, Le Grand Dakar, both in Brooklyn. He published Yolele! in 2008. His reputation got him a turn on Iron Chef in 2010, in which he narrowly lost to Bobby Flay in Battle Papaya.
The book illustrates Senegal's rich and varied layers of its fusion cuisine and features a chapter, "The Middle Passage," that discusses Senegal and other East African countries' contributions to food of the American South, the Caribbean and the Central and South Americas that arrived on the slave ships. Some Yolele! recipes call for a few ingredients that aren't found in most Tampa Bay area supermarkets such as fonio, a small grain, but others are quite accessible and especially relevant to Gulf Coast cooks since fresh seafood is front and center in many dishes. The women, dressed in colorful textiles, are photographed cooking the dishes in large pots over outdoor fires rather than in kitchens.
"They have kitchens," Thiam says, "but they are purists. It has to be done in the traditional way. It is also a communal activity."
He, too, will be cooking outside the kitchen for his demonstration and the dishes he'll serve (still not totally positive on) will reflect, as does his cookbook, the foods of his home. Perhaps the Senegalese version of Spanish paella?

Brown administration circulates legislation to require out-of-state retailers to pay CA taxes
By Jarrell Cook, Legislative Manager, Government Relations
Governor Brown has circulated draft legislation (http://src.bna.com/A2A) that would require out-of-state retailers – as well as online marketplaces facilitating sales on behalf of out-of-state retailers – with sales of over $500,000 in California to collect and remit sales and use tax.
This bill comes in response to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in South Carolina v. Wayfair, which found it permissible for a state to impose an obligation to collect sales and use tax on sellers without a physical presence in the state.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – Target is recalling nearly a half million Christmas-themed toy cars sold in its Bullseye's Playground due to a choking hazard.
The little wooden cars feature Santa in a sleigh, a firetruck, a taxi, a caboose, an ice cream truck, a train, a police car, and a digger. The eight cars were sold both individually and as an 8-pack in stores and online from October 2018 through November 2018. Each car cost about $1, with the 8-pack costing $8.
The wheels can detach and pose a choking hazard to kids. So far there are four reports of the wheels detaching but no injuries reported.
Parents should immediately take the toys away from children and check the item number, the model number, and the UPC code to see if the toys are part of the recall. The numbers are found on a white sticker on the bottom of each vehicle.
If you have one of the recalled vehicles you can return them to Target for full refund.

Hundreds of people have emailed me asking questions about the current flooding situation in Iowa. Has my home been affected? How bad is it really?
Well, I'll let the front page of the Des Moines Register speak for itself.
Where I'm at (luckily), there's been only minor ill effect. We've had some minor flash flooding in our back yard, but nothing disastrous (other than some depressing garden damage – I don't think the rosemary and other herbs will recover). Our basement water pump has been running almost nonstop for the last two weeks. Many cornfields near my house (including the one I can see out of my back door to the east) are partially or entirely covered in water, however. Road travel in Des Moines is very challenging right now, with many, many roads closed.
I have family in northern Iowa that are being seriously affected by this flooding, and I have a lot of family in southern Iowa and western Illinois that are going to be affected by this in a week, when the high water that's currently in northern Iowa will have reached them. Here's the data I'm looking at that will be affecting them soon.
Part of the challenge for Iowa is that a large portion of the Iowa National Guard is stationed overseas, making it difficult for the remaining Guard to respond effectively to local emergencies like this.
What Can I Do To Protect Myself?
Know your flood risk Use floodsmart.gov to find out if the property you live in now (or a property you're considering buying) is a significant flood risk. My area, unfortunately, isn't covered by that web site (as of just a few years ago, my home was classified as farmland, so the data hasn't been updated), so my next step was to contact the FEMA Map Service Center to find out my risk. I have a small risk for flash flooding, but minimal risk for river flooding, which was about what I expected.
Determine your need for flood insurance If you're in an area with some degree of flood risk, consult your homeowner's insurance policy to find out what coverage you have in the event of a flash flood or a separate significant flood event. The Simple Dollar's Randy Woods explains more about what's covered in his homeowners guide. If you live in a flood plain that has flooded in the last thirty years or so, you should definitely have flood insurance.
Be aware of the flood control plan in your neighborhood or town if you do live in a flood plain. Know what rivers you should be watching and what signs you should be looking for that a flooding situation may be occurring. Contact city hall and ask if there is a flood control plan for your town and ask for a copy of it, so you'll have an idea of what the "concern" levels are for the flood protection in your area.
What Can I Do To Help If I'm Not Affected?
Volunteer, if you can Many towns near major rivers in Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin could definitely use sandbagging help. If you're a college student off for the summer and would like a way to use your time to help people in need, contact the city hall or town hall in some of the towns in southern Iowa and western Illinois that lie along the Des Moines, Skunk, and Mississippi Rivers and volunteer to help in exchange for shelter and food. They'll be glad to quickly find you a host family.
Consider what's happened here as a part of who you vote for in November. The candidate who is putting resources into FEMA and the National Guard is the candidate that's really interested in helping America out. Draw your own conclusions on which candidate that is for each office, but keep it in mind when you vote.

Middletown Board of Education attempts to close budget shortfall by approving cuts
MIDDLETOWN >> The Board of Education Tuesday approved over $400,000 in recommended budget cuts for the current school year.
Schools Superintendent Patricia Charles recommended numerous cuts and reallocations of some funds, totaling $455,308.
The district has been dogged by budget shortfalls for years, the current shortfall estimated to be between $800,000 and $1 million.
"We've been skating on thin ice for five years working with budgets that set us back, and we will continue to see erosion. We'll work the best we can to make sure it's funded in a real way," said board member Ed McKeon.
McKeon said the public should understand that state mandates being "foisted" on school districts and cuts to education funding by the governor, as his office tries to close the state's budget deficit, is "unacceptable."
"It's unacceptable at this point that the governor cut education and asks us to do more. Unreal," he said.
Among the cuts recommended by Charles are $5,000 for an athletic trainer, $20,000 from school activities, $15,000 from the 21st Century afterschool program, $40,000 for an unfilled janitor position and $52,000 in salary and benefit reductions, among others.
Charles said a number of factors are contributing to the shortfall, including substitute teachers for regular teachers out on sick or maternity leave, cuts in Title 1 funding, which is funding specifically for closing "achievement gaps," regular education tuition for students going to magnet schools, which the student's home district is responsible for, purchased services, or education services not available from the school, special education positions and cafeteria losses.
The district is laying out $400,000 for substitutes and $38,000 has been cut from Title 1.
Charles said 52 students were attending magnet schools at the beginning of the year, and that has jumped to 81 students.
"It seems like every week we're getting a bill for a magnet school," she said.
The special education line is short $500,000 after federal stimulus funds ran out for nine contracted positions.
"The funds didn't continue so the district had to take it on," she said.
She said the cafeteria program was short $175,000 last year, and anticipates that will increase.
The price of school meals will also increase as a way to generate revenue. The board approved a 15-cent increase for breakfast and a 23-cent increase for lunches, increasing the cost of breakfast to $1 and lunch to $2.50 at elementary schools, $2.75 at middle schools and $3.00 at the high school.
Charles also cited a number of "unknown" factors that could further impact the budget, such as snow days, where sessions would have to be made up in the spring, an influx of special education students into the school, facilities issues, such as a roof replacement, further reductions in state aid, further increases in maternity and medical leave and an increase in magnet school enrollments.
Charles also initiated a number of cost-saving measures she has taken to ease the financial strain as well as a second round of cuts if necessary.
She requested that teachers no longer use appliances in their classrooms such as hot plates, microwaves or mini refrigerators, reduce paper use in copiers and printers, shut down computers by 6 p.m. to reduce electricity costs, audits of food services and special education, sharing substitute teachers among schools and replacing a school psychologist with a special education administrator.

Sex toys have come a long way since 54BC when Cleopatra created the first vibrator by putting a swarm of angry bees into a hollowed-out fruit shell. Now mainstream due to the likes of Sex and the City and the Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon, sex toys are more openly available and come in a variety of appealing colors, shapes, sizes and materials.
As a result of this newfound cultural openness it is possible that your client may request or wish to use a sex toy when in a booking; therefore as with any other aspect of escorting, it's vital to be prepared in order to be able to do so safely and hygienically.
In addition to the safety factor sex toys can also offer escorts;
– Heightened sexual pleasure for the client and an enhanced experience
– A much needed break from various sexual activities
– Give clients with disabilities or erectile dysfunction the help they need to achieve sexual fulfilment when being intimate
But whilst sex toys can be a good alternative as part of partnered sex, there are certain things escorts need to be aware of to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and avoid any ensuing unnecessary worry:
Practice sex toys on yourself first
If you have been requested by a client to use a sex toy it is best to experiment on your own first so you learn the ins and outs of how to use it and on what settings — doing this also helps to learn what positions that would best stimulate your client and yourself.
Communicate with your client and only experiment with what you feel comfortable with
If a client has brought along their own sex toy and you would rather use your own then let them know – this is advisable for escorts as it avoids any unnecessary risk of infection Likewise, if you do not feel comfortable using certain toys it is important to voice these opinions early so you both know what you're getting into.
Use the right toys for the job
It's very important to use the right sex toys for the right purpose. Using your toys inappropriately with a client could lead to a potentially damaging situation, both emotionally and physically.As an example, toys such as the 'bullet' vibrator offer compact powerful stimulation for the clitoris and outside the vulva however pose a problem if they are then inserted. Usually less than 6 inches in length, a bullet vibrator could get lost if used in this way, and potentially cause damage yourself or the client.
Anal toys too, in particular should always be smooth without seams and have a flared base for easy removal.
So when thinking of adding sex toys to the mix remember research and read instructions on how to use them in the right way before agreeing to anything with your client.
Clean your sex toys
Always, always, always wash your sex toys before and after use if you want to prevent sexually transmitted diseases and infections. Most sex toys should come with advice as to how best to clean and store them but if they don't simply use plenty of hot soapy water or a recommended antibacterial sex toy cleaner.
Use condoms on your sex toys
Where possible use a condom on your sex toys when sharing with a partner as it keeps a good level of hygiene and lowers the risk of spreading and sharing sexual transmitted diseases and infections.
Vary your vibrations
Believe it or not repetitive use of one vibrator can over stimulate the clitoris and even cause numbness or pain therefore to avoid any injury or discomfort try not to use the same setting continuously, some vibrators now have a pulse setting or other variations, consider trying these to keep as safe and pleasurable as possible.
Don't use massage oil as lubricant
Massage Oils break down condom rubber. Choose a water based lubricant instead, for example ID Moments Water Based Lubricant is a glycerine and paraben free lubricant which is great for those with sensitive skin or prone to yeast infections and easily available on Amazon.
Check your sex toys
Check your sex toys regularly for any scratches or breaks in the surface material where germs could be present and spread, increasing the risk of infection.
Be aware of sex toy materials
You really do get what you pay for when it comes to buying sex toys. Be wary of toys that have that "new car smell" or lay claim to being merely "novelty items" as they are likely to contain chemicals such as phthalates which are harmful to your body.Plastic and jelly rubber are the main culprits of phthalates used to soften and shape toys; these can have adverse affects on the reproductive process and are linked to increased instances of birth defects and sperm damage. But, whilst these sex toys may not be ideal for your health, they usually are very appealing due to low cost, texture and the stimulation they provide. So if you own or buy a toy that is made of porous material (or you aren't sure what it is made of), be safe and make sure you use a condom.
Sex toys safest for your body and peace of mind are those made from high quality, hygienic materials from trusted retailers. Two such examples would be Ohtique and Eden Fantasies where it's much easier to find high quality items than on a massive site like Amazon. Products from providers such as these will include medical grade silicone, stainless steel and glass (Pyrex), are body friendly, have longer life spans and are easier to clean and look after.
Don't go from back to front
Transferring a sex toy from your anus to your vagina or vice versa holds potential health risks for infections and should be avoided unless you have cleaned the toy thoroughly first. Using condoms (and switching them when you change locations) – as mentioned above – are also a great way of staying safe and protected against infections.
If it is too big, or in the wrong place don't force it
It's not always about size and a large dildo doesn't always do the trick for everyone!This may sound obvious to you but it really is important to avoid forcing objects into yours or your client's anus or vagina as it could do some serious damage. Remember to take it slowly and use plenty of water-based lubricant to help ease your toy in. If this still does not work or either of you feel uncomfortable stop straight away. There are loads of sex toys out there to help progressive play especially when it comes to anal sex, so fear not there will be something out there for you.
Finally, there's a lot to remember to ensure both yours and your clients safety. Should you or your client request to use a sex toy, there's a good list of sex facts and myths here should you have any questions about what's a best practice to remain safe during sex.

Hazel Hawke lived the life of an ordinary wife and mother in a postwar Australia that became so less and less ordinary that when the country came to say goodbye five prime ministers honoured her.
The changes she was forced to go through so publicly as Australian politics turned presidential made many want to protect her but she remained the constant mum, her own woman.
As her close friend, Wendy McCarthy told her state memorial service in the Sydney Opera House on Tuesday, Hazel Hawke took her marriage vows seriously and she cherished her family.
''She lived through the shifting landscape of being female in Australia,'' Ms McCarthy said. When her marriage ended, friends mattered a great deal but Ms McCarthy said she also found independence, a second career and a great social life.
Mrs Hawke died on May 23 from Alzheimer's complications. The great and good joined hundreds of friends and ordinary men, but mainly women, to honour her memory in the Concert Hall.
The venue was special. Ms McCarthy said her friend had become a mature-age groupie and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra ''her favourite band''. They played Mozart's Concerto in F for three pianos, K242, Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the Flowers from The Nutcracker; the Sydney Children's Choir sang a traditional Torres Strait song and Waltzing Matilda.
Bob Hawke and his children Sue, Stephen and Rosslyn sat with his grandchildren while the Governor-General, Quentin Bryce, Lieutenant-Governor Tom Bathurst, Prime Minister Julia Gillard, NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell, Julie Bishop (representing Opposition Leader Tony Abbott), John Howard, Janette Howard and Kevin Rudd also occupied the front seats. Paul and Annita Keating were behind.
From Hazel Hawke's Melbourne years came Bill Kelty, Gareth Evans and Barry Jones. Former Queensland premier Anna Bligh was there and former South Australian senator Nick Bolkus.
Most mentioned her crackling laugh. Bob Hawke's former ACTU research assistant Ralph Willis remembered her Australian accent and recalled a riddle that went around Oxford when her husband-to-be was on a Rhodes scholarship concerning the difference between buffalo and bison - the latter was what Hazel called a basin. Everybody laughed.
Willis also recalled entering the Hawke home in the Melbourne suburb of Sandringham with his wife Carol in 1971 when his boss had just been named Father of the Year and how Hazel had been less than impressed with the award.
Sue Pieters-Hawke, her eldest daughter, said her mother had an instinctive tendency to see the best in people and situations.
''It's said that you're lucky if you have a compass to hand that always points true, a voice that guides you in the direction of your most profound values and towards the best of what is possible. For me, that voice was Hazel.''
Shortly before she died, Bob Hawke lay next to her and sang Danny Boy. Tenor Bradley Daley sang it to close the celebration and as the final words ''And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me'' swelled through the hall Bob Hawke's head dropped, his right fist tightened.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 4 – Masters)
Topic: Tie (02/28/13)
TITLE: PLEASE TIE MY SHOE | Previous Challenge Entry
By Shann Hall-LochmannVanBennekom
Oh, what a great day at school! Our teacher was named Mr. Green. Everyone liked him because he was firm, but never, ever mean.
All the kids got ready because there was so much to do. Allie stopped in her tracks and said, "Mr. Green, please tie my shoe."
First we practiced our counting skills. After one, comes number two. Brookelynn raised her hand and asked, "Will someone tie my shoe?"
During the morning message, Mr. Green told us what to do. But before we could start, first he had to tie Connor's shoe.
We loved to learn our ABC's. But when we sang, we stopped at Q because Danny raised his hand and said, "I need someone to tie my shoe."
Music time was lots of fun. There were drums, a guitar, and a flute. Emily suddenly stopped her strumming to ask the teacher to lace her boot.
At coloring time, we all drew pictures. Frankie asked, "Can we use markers too?"
Mr. Green smiled and said, "Of course, but first I must tie your shoe."
Gretta ran to the back of the room. Whatever was she planning to do?
She stopped with a plop, and said, "I need someone to tie my shoe."
Learning our colors was very hard work. Red, yellow, green, and blue. Halldyn pointed to his red socks, then said, "Oh no! Won't you tie my shoe?"
Mr. Green had a stuffy nose. It made him sneeze and sneeze. Inga said, "God bless you and tie my shoe please."
On picture day, everyone dressed up. John wore his new suit. Before he smiled and said cheese, he asked, "Can you fix my boot?"
Kennedy tripped and bumped her head. She never even cried. Mr. Green helped her up and said, "Oh no, look, your shoe is untied."
Lydia gave Mr. Green a hug and said, "I love you."
He patted her head and replied, "I bet you want me to tie your shoe."
At recess, Martha ran fast so she would be first on the slide, but Mr. Green stopped her. "No running if your shoes are untied."
During Show and Tell, Nora was the very first speaker. Before she shared, she said, "Please tie my sneaker."
When the class got too noisy, Mr. Green said, "One, two, freeze!"
Olivia pointed to her shoes and whispered, "Tie them please."
As we stretched our wiggles out, we tried to touch our knees.
Parker looked at his feet. "Mr. Green, will you tie my shoe please?"
Before lunchtime, we welcomed someone new. Quinten fit right in when he said, "Please tie my shoe."
To lead the class to the lunch room, Mr. Green picked Rue. She hurried to the door, right after the teacher tied her shoe.
In the cafeteria, Sofie ate her stew. Then the lunch lady came over and tied her shoe.
After lunch, everyone had smiles on their faces. Timmy giggled and said, "Please tie my shoelaces."
We were learning to write our names. Mr. Green showed how to make a U, then Ulyssess tapped him on the shoulder and asked, "Can you tie my shoe?"
At recess we played ball. When Violet ran around the bases, Mr. Green yelled, "Stop! I need to tie your laces."
Wrigley sat on the floor. She tried and she tried. Finally she gave up and cried, "My shoes are untied."
During art time, the class began to trace, but Xavier stopped and asked, "Can you tie my shoelace?"
At free time, Yasmine drew flowers and trees. When she was done, she said, "Tie my shoes please."
After mastering the alphabet,Zach practiced writing a perfect Z. He noticed something wrong and said, "Mr. Green, tie my shoe please.
As the day came to an end, we all got ready to go. Mr. Green sighed and said, "Thank goodness, I have Velcro."

Boosting competitiveness of regional SMEs
The project works to boost the competitiveness of regional SMEs and to create employment opportunities in the Armenian regions (marzes) of Lori, Syunik and Armavir, focusing on the sectors of food-processing and tourism. It promotes the development of entrepreneurship by creating favourable conditions for start-ups and strengthening the capacity of local SMEs, while also providing relevant skills to job seekers, and developing local capacity to encourage the further promotion of economic development initiatives.
The specific objectives of the project are:
- To create employment opportunities in the Lori, Syunik and Armavir marzes of Armenia - provide relevant skills and promote sustainable employment, based on the assessed mismatch between existing skills and the qualifications actually needed by local SMEs, targeting young adults, and with a focus on growth sectors such as food processing and tourism.
- To create economic opportunities and diversify economies in the Lori, Syunik and Armavir marzes of Armenia - creating business opportunities for progressive young adults, equipping start-ups and growing SMEs with contemporary business skills, facilitating access to finance and markets, creating efficient public-private dialogue at local level and establishing a model business-enabling infrastructure as a marketing platform for local products and services.
Start-ups and functioning SMEs in the focus areas of food-processing and tourism in the marzes of Lori, Syunik and Armavir.
- Establishment of a roadside station (RSS) as a marketing infrastructure for local products and services in the Lori region; the RSS is a multi-functional sale and rest facility on the highway, facilitating the development of local production and tourism, and includes a local brand shop, an information/training centre, and a rest station,
- Market research on the food processing and tourism sectors and the planned RSS.
- Awareness-raising workshops and meetings.
- Promotion of entrepreneurship: building of entrepreneurial capacities among local young people and women entrepreneurs through 'Successful Start' campaigns contributing to skill development.
- Loan guarantee facility: the most viable business plans received during the successful start campaign will have an opportunity to apply for SMEDNC's loan guarantee facility for start-ups.
- Job promotion: to address the issues of the mismatch between job seekers' skills and required qualifications on the labour market, the project organises a series of sector specific and general business trainings for young job seekers.
The project is expected to lead directly to the following two major results:
- Creation of at least 60 new sustainable jobs at local level, including at least 12 quality jobs, 35 jobs for young adults and 30 for women.
- Increased competitiveness of at least 100 local enterprises, including at least 45 newly registered enterprises, at least 55 operating SMEs recording increase in turnover and/or increase in employment by 5% in average.

The Next 17 years - 1985 - 2002
Page 6 of 12
In Apri11996, the Directors met with Dr Michael Knight in the chair. I quote from the minutes. I had resigned from the Board on my 70th birthday in 1993, so I have no personal memories.
A lengthy discussion was held on the Club's finances and the way forward in view of the loss of sub-tenants Rental Income. Chris Cocksedge said that he intended to make a formal proposition at the next meeting to admit lady members. It was generally agreed that lady members were not to be the panacea to the Club' s financial problems but that the Club should move forward and also pursue other possible plans for reorganisation.
Things were beginning to happen in a big way - perhaps even bigger than ever before.
First to see a noticeable change was the catering. I joined the Club in 1968 and during those years we have had an interesting selection of caterers. One formidable matriarch who ruled us with a rod of iron. She fed us all well, and her particular friends very well!! Dover Soles and steaks served frequently cost more when purchased than the total cost of the meal. On one occasion I arrived for lunch at about 1.10pm. I was told in no uncertain terms that 'lunch was served at one o'clock'.
We had other ladies who served us with meals just as mother used to serve. Others who provided what some members described as good boarding school fayre and I likened the meals as being very similar to those served in the Sergeant's Mess during the war. One young lady whose catering was more adventurous than anyone before was a trifle temperamental. She 'upped and went' in the middle of the morning leaving the members with a make-do lunch when the newly appointed House Chairman asked for a little more detail in the column headed 'Petty Cash Expenses' .
Never before had we had catering which made you feel that you simply must bring your family and friends in to enjoy the fayre. Some outside meetings of the 41 Club and Rotary had been arranged but the menus were never really sensational.

Gambling Addiction
Gambling addiction—also known as problem gambling, is characterised by difficulties in limiting money and/or time spent on gambling which leads to harmful consequences for the gambler, others, or for the community.
The massive expansion of gambling opportunities across the world has also lead to an escalation of the various gambling disorders. Everywhere you can read invitations to gamble online, such as "place a bet here", or "try your luck", making it difficult to resist the gambling urge. While some are realistic and really care for their customers by offering a variety of services to keep you away from addictions, some are just scammers. Here, you will find advice on how to prevent gambling disorders and enjoy gambling responsibly.
Gambling addiction causes serious consequences for you and your loved ones. It can damage your relationships and lead to job loss, physical and mental health problems and a financial catastrophe. Don't think this can't happen to you: anyone can become a victim of a gambling addiction.
Gambling problems can be mild, moderate or severe. However, even a mild problem can easily escalate. In order to prevent this from happening, use these tips to help you gamble responsibly:
- Set your limits of time and money before you start gambling and stick to them.
- Make sure to set a loss limit that is appropriate for your budget. You should only gamble with the money you are prepared to lose.
- Don't gamble in secret: gambling should always be done in a social setting, with friends and family.
- Don't chase your losses: any money spent on gambling should be considered the cost of entertainment.
- Gambling is not a solution to your financial problems. Don't gamble because you need money.
- Never gamble when angry or feeling lonely, depressed or under stress; to solve personal or family problems; or to impress others.
- Avoid excessive use of alcohol when gambling. It can cloud your judgement and lead to irresponsible decisions.
According to American Psychiatric Association, you can be diagnosed with a gambling addiction if you have at least four of the following symptoms in a 12-month period:
- You need to gamble with increasing amounts of money in order to achieve the desired excitement.
- You feel restless or irritable when attempting to cut down or stop gambling.
- You have made repeated unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back, or stop gambling
- You are often preoccupied with gambling (e.g., having persistent thoughts of reliving past gambling experiences, handicapping or planning the next venture, thinking of ways to get money with which to gamble)
- You often gamble when feeling distressed (e.g., helpless, guilty, anxious, depressed)
- After losing money gambling, you often return another day to get even ("chasing" one's losses)
- You lie to conceal the extent of involvement with gambling
- You have jeopardized or lost a significant relationship, job, education or career opportunity because of gambling
- You rely on others to provide money to relieve desperate financial situations caused by gambling.
Even if you identify with just one or two of the above symptoms you should consider quitting gambling before the problem becomes more serious. Here are some tips to help you on the way:
- It is important to find healthier activities to replace gambling. Schedule enjoyable recreational time for yourself that has nothing to do with gambling.
- Reach out to people you love and to whom you're accountable. As you build healthier choices and a strong support network, resisting an urge to gamble will become easier.
- Stay away from temptation. Remove gambling apps and block gambling sites on your smartphone and computer.
- Seek professional help or join a support group. The National Problem Gambling Clinic provides treatment for problem gamblers living in England and Wales aged 16 and over. Gamblers Anonymous have meetings every day of the week throughout the UK.
Remember, many others have had the same problem and have managed to break the habit. You can do it too!

The First Alert SC9120LBL Hardwired Combination Smoke/CO Alarm connects directly to your home electrical system. In the event of a power outage, the smoke/CO alarm is equipped with a 10 year lithium battery-backup. Integrating a Smart Technology system will reduce the likelihood of nuisance alarms triggering. A Latching Alarm Indication will remember which unit initiated an alarm. The perfect mount system features a gasketless base and a mounting bracket that keeps the alarm secure over a wide rotation range to allow for true alignment. Under normal conditions, you should not have to replace the battery for the life of the alarm.
Detects Smoke and Carbon Monoxide
Designed to meet the latest construction requirements, the First Alert Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm detects two threats: smoke and carbon monoxide. Lights on the face of the alarm will tell you what the threat is, and false alarms can be silenced with a single button.
Intelligent Sensing Technology Minimizes False Alarms
People sometimes disable a fire detector when it goes off due to cooking smoke or steam, even though in doing so they endanger themselves and their loved ones. Intelligent Sensing Technology is designed to distinguish between real fires and nuisances. This reduces the likelihood of false alarms significantly.
10-Year Lithium Battery Backup
The First Alert SC9120LBL Hardwired Combo Smoke and CO Alarm features a built-in 10-year lithium battery backup that provides continuous power for the life of the detector. An end-of-life timer lets you know when the device should be replaced.
Connect to Other Alarms for Greater Coverage
This hardwired combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector can be connected to other compatible BRK or First Alert CO smoke detectors within a single-family residence. Once one alarm is triggered, all connected CO smoke alarms will sound. The latching alarm indicator on the CO smoke alarm automatically identifies which unit initiated the alarm–even after the conditions that set off the alarm have subsided.
Easy to Install and Maintain
The First Alert Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm integrates with existing wiring and features a universal mounting bracket that makes installing the unit quick and easy. Connection to AC power is simple with a Quick Connect wiring harness.

Cleaning - What needs doing when?
Category: Home Cleaning
However, it's easy to get so obsessed with cleaning that you spend all your time doing it. So how often should you be taking care of your house, without it taking over your life?
Well, let's start by saying that not everything needs to have a deep clean every week - we're sure your mattress will survive for a while before needing to be given some TLC.
Let's look at three big problem areas and see how often they need cleaning.
The bathtub
You and everybody else in the house will probably use the bath or shower at least once a day, so can you imagine how much nasty bacteria it's harbouring? Probably more than your toilet or bin, if truth be told, so it's worth giving the bathtub a thorough clean regularly - perhaps once a week with a good sponge and bathroom cleaning spray.
The kitchen
This is another room that gets some pretty intense treatment every day, so treat it accordingly and make sure it's cleaned on a regular basis. We don't just mean giving the floor a cursory sweep and wiping down the worktop with a wet cloth. Plenty of nasty bugs could build up in your fridge and microwave if they aren't cleaned regularly too.
The carpet
You'll probably get out the vacuum cleaner pretty regularly, as it doesn't take long for visible dirt to build up on carpet. But what about invisible dirt? Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there, so we would recommend you get your floors steam cleaned every six to 12 months. It's worth bringing in a professional cleaning service to do this job, as they'll use specialist equipment to clean the surface and remove any potentially harmful bacteria. Remember that if you have a pet, you could need to do it even more frequently, as pet hairs and associated bugs can get everywhere!

"You know nothing, Jon Snow"
Found this Jon Snow figure from a surplus in poor condition. Since I got inspired with the current season I decided to give this Jon Snow pop a second life.
I originally plan to just repaint this figure with better paint job, but I decided to step it up and upgrade the details with a newly sculpted hair and facial details. As for the cape, I added a leather straps inside and updated the sculpt on the cape as well. For the final touch I added a fur on his cape.
It was a blast working on this figure and I hope I can add more Game of Thrones custom figures soon.

For a band that regularly invoked its own name as a chest-beating rallying cry for the power of rock 'n' roll, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion never really got its due. Questions of authenticity dogged the group throughout its '90s heyday—never mind that the run of 1993's Extra Width, 1994's Orange, and 1996's Now I Got Worry was one of the strongest of the decade. These days, the band's raucous blues-punk has been co-opted dozens of times over by anonymous automatons like The Black Keys, and Spencer's Elvis-as-carnival-barker frontman act seems even more out of time. But on the Blues Explosion's first album in eight years, Meat And Bone, the group makes a surprisingly credible attempt at legitimizing its "The Blues is still No. 1!" throne, no strings or gimmicks attached.
Mixed by Spencer himself, Meat And Bone wisely passes over the Beck and Dr. John guest-spots of yesteryear in favor of stripped-down, balls-to-the-wall swagger. Spencer, guitarist Judah Bauer, and drummer Russell Simins crunch and stomp their way through opener "Black Mold," and mine the hip-shaking geekiness of Worry's "Wail" on the excellent "Bag Of Bones." Elsewhere, the effortlessly funky "Get Your Pants Off" hews closest to the band's Orange days (and includes the sole "Blues Explosion!" shout-out of the album).
Following the 2010 reissues of the group's '90s Matador albums, Meat And Bone is largely a success, even if its less-focused second half feels a bit rote. "Too many squares! Too much… mediocrity!" Spencer cries during "Bag Of Bones." It's less a crotchety complaint from a weary veteran than a plain statement of fact; indeed, Meat And Bone is the heir apparent to Now I Got Worry, and a fine return to form..

Ricepuppet's paintjob brings back lost shine of your NES
NES is the most popular gaming console ever made by Nintendo that hit the market two decades back. If you own one and it has started showing age-factor, then Ricepuppet has some nice custom ideas to transform it into a new one. The scratches that have appeared on the skin by throwing the console on the ground can be neatly veiled by hand-made customs done with accurate precision in paintjob technique. Hence, if you liked the idea of getting your NES tinted in Metroid color, then you can place your order here.

Falcon-cam Reveals Raptor Attack Strategy
Special Post - Talking Rouge Park Birds
The Scarborough Mirror newspaper posted this article today. It's from a seminar that was held at the Metro Zoo this past weekend. The main focus of the meeting was about birds of Rouge Park. The photo on the right is of our friend and fellow birder Terry (Whittam) who, at the time was pointing out the 'Patagial' marks found on the wings of Red-tailed Hawks.
As stated, this meeting was held as a replacement to the cancelled Bird Count that was to be conducted in Rouge Park. Great job!

Pedestrian Crowd Simulation
PEDSIM is a microscopic pedestrian crowd simulation library. It is suitable for use in crowd simulations (e.g. indoor evacuation simulation, large scale outdoor simulations), where one is interested in output like pedestrian density or evacuation time. Also, the quality of the individual agent's trajectory is high enough for creating massive pedestrian crowd animations (e.g. for motion pictures or architectural visualization). Since libpedsim is easy to use and extend, it is a good starting point for science projects. See the examples page for example pictures, short movies, and for screenshots.
The PEDSIM library allows you to use pedestrian dynamics in your own software. Based on pure C++ without additional packages, it runs virtually on every operating system. PEDSIM has been developed and tested on Linux. Also supported is Visual Studio on Windows. In the ecosystem directory you find additional parts that use or extend the PEDSIM library. They are meant to give a quick overview of the capabilities, and are starting points for your own experiments. Most of them are built using the Qt Framework, which you'll need to download separately.
The pedestrians are visible on the user interface in real-time. Using the file or tcp/stream-based output, batch or real-time processing is possible. Typically, the output from PEDSIM is fed into a rendering engine, where realistically looking humans are created. These humans walk based on the trajectories generated by PEDSIM.
While the used simulation model is simple and easy to understand, it is possible to extend the agent's behavior. Several such mental strategies are included, and adding your own code is possible.
If you have questions regarding PEDSIM or pedestrian simulations in general, read the docs, check the FAQ, and don't hesitate to ask. Further development efforts depend on feedback. Please submit bugs, patches, critism, ideas, or directions in which development should go.
|PEDSIM News

Taking input from Properties File
I have written an application which needs input from user. I was thinking about my options. XML is an option but I don't want to use that.
Can I use properties file for the input? Is it a good way of using properties file in Java or it has some other use?
Thanks for looking into this.

Usage of property file
You can use the property files when the application needs to get some values which are configured by the users.
For eg, an anti virus application to scan the hard drive in a user defined schedule, user is able to change the schedule interval in a peoperty file as,
Here each time the application starts, it will read the value of the key "SCAN_INTERVAL_IN_HOURS".

Indian chip policy still luring investors
Keywords:India chip policy? chip? semiconductor? India Semiconductor Association? Samsung?
Details of India's semiconductor policy such as the extent of tax breaks and subsidies being offered to potential investors have yet to emerge, observers said.
Investors are awaiting guidelines on how to proceed with setting up Indian manufacturing plants and the mechanism for doing so. Still, the policy announced Feb. 22 has revived the interest among companies thought to be interested in establishing fabs in the country.
Growing interest is likely to result in announcements of new India projects in the coming weeks, delayed only because the policy guidelines remain sketchy.
Industry sources said it may take a few weeks for details to emerge. Some expect the first chips made in India to appear as early as 2009, probably for wireless handsets.
Meanwhile, industry sources said an unidentified global chipmaker will likely enter into a joint venture with a group of expatriate Indian engineers to launch manufacturing facilities in India. (Advanced Micro Devices Inc. has already announced a technology pact with SemIndia Inc. for a semiconductor manufacturing facility in Hyderabad.)
At least two more semiconductor manufacturing facilities are expected to be announced in the next few weeks, according to Raj Khare, chairman, India Semiconductor Association. The firm expects that the deals will result in a combined total of up to $10 billion in manufacturing for the country.
The Economic Times of New Delhi reported that Samsung, Freescale, Motorola, Intel, Infineon, STMicrorelectronics and Toshiba are among the possible investors in a $4.5 billion manufacturing facility being set up by the Hindustan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. (HSMC).
HSMC is expected to establish a fabrication complex that will include several foundries to be built by HSMC, another report said. The fabs will 200- and 300mm wafer lines.
Pradip K. Dutta, managing director of Synopsys India said several overseas companies have previously expressed interest in setting up semiconductor manufacturing facilities in India. "I expect some concrete announcements in the new few weeks," Dutta said.
