So as we draw Rugged PDA Support week to a close I thought it would be nice to create a thought piece article about where Rugged PDA Service has been and where it's going in the future. I'll splash it with a little bit of opinion in true Friday fashion!
Rugged PDA Support History
It's actually very interesting to draw parallels with the Desktop and Server industry when you talk about Smartphones and Rugged PDA's because they look very similar in many ways. In the early days of Rugged PDA's there were only a few, they were hefty, expensive and they were repaired. In fact they were tinkered with, tweaked, repaired and because they tended to be quite special in the business there tended to be longer times to do anything.
As the Rugged PDA became more popular we saw repair centre's springing up everywhere but in my opinion the whole attitude was far from Mission Critical. I used to work at another Reseller who where and remain very unethical about how they do things and they saw their repair centre as a necessary evil rather than a way to provide better service to their customers. They were also purposely slow with devices that they had not sold personally and the end result was that their were devices left on shelves for weeks with little process or professionalism about the whole thing.
It was Motorola who then really forced a change. They weren't actually the first but their range of "Service from the Start" products were the ones that started to realise Rugged PDA's were becoming the heart of line of business solutions and they needed a product that could be relied. They couldn't trust the repair centre model, I think at the time they were right and they brought it all back in to their own fold. Everyone followed suit and that's why today you'll be hard pressed to find any real differences in the main manufacturers when it comes to Rugged PDA Service, Support and Warranty.
The trouble with Manufacturer Service Products
You know what, the manufacturer lead products were something that had to happen. It was a mess out there and something needed to be done and they stepped in, but the trouble is that nothing has changed since when a whole bunch stuff has been happening in our world. Manufacturer lead service products are clean and neat to sell, but they are not guarantees of TCO and they do not stick to their SLA's all the time. Despite this we're seeing a pressure to "Attach" service on all PDA sales with phrases like "It's the only way you can Guarantee Parts" being used to frighten you into buying them rather than letting the value of them stand on their own two feet. if you've recently tried to get out of warranty support with them then you'll know what I mean!
The products have become stale, inflexible, you are treated as a number and if anything slightly out of process happens then it all goes wrong and the Reseller has to step in, despite not having been paid a thing to do so as we're selling someone elses product, not our own any more. It's not a recipe for success in the world we live in today.
The Future, The Answer
There are a lot of excellent service centres out there, not just in the Rugged PDA world, out there who would surprise you with the number of engineers they have in their service centres. I mean big brands with 1 or 2 engineers covering the whole of Europe. You know what, their service is far better than any of the larger manufacturer offerings and it does beg the question if they have gone a bit "Supermarket" on the service element and I can tell you where our thinking is here. The facts remain it's about people not process and its about listening to the customers and reacting not telling them what they need and I mean reacting in a few days, not having 6 months of discussion groups and process re-engineering, I mean being truly bespoke. Can a manufacturer do that? not on your nelly, they simply do not have the relationship with the end users or the ability to change. Can the resellers do that, yes definitely. We have the conversation every day on a range of products and we live in a world where we can build quickly and do better, faster, less expensive quite easily now.
What I do know is that service products need to be far more flexible. they need to be far more innovative, they need to be far more personable and they need to serve a world that wants to fix, repair, be adhoc and be treated special at the same time. The world has changed and we need to change with it!

Wedding Jealousy?

No you are not jealous, just waiting for your moment in the sun. Her big day is just getting you all excited about what is in store for you.

ive been in your shoes. things like this make you a little introspective and you think about what it will be like for you when your time comes. it's perfectly normal and your not so much jealous as you are excited like PJD said. i remember feeling sad that i dont really get to plan this for myself but it's not something you need to mention to her. hope that helps!

Thank you guys for the comments, I was really starting to trip out. LOL, I'm not a bad sister after all.

I don't think it's jealousy either. It's about wanting to have a dialogue. It's very difficult to say "I don't have kids so I have nothing to contribute to this conversation about children" or "I don't have a man, so I'm not going to give you advice about yours" or
"I'm not planning a wedding, so I can't talk about yours."
I think as human beings we just like to reciprocate what's being given to us and the best we can do when we haven't experienced something is to imagine what it's going to be like.
We also talk really good ish 'cause you can always say what you'll do or what you wouldn't do when you're not the one making the decision.
Now, pardon me, but I need to be a little nosey. You mentioned "Hubby" in the last post. Is that slang for boyfriend/companion/partner who you're not yet married to? Also, you mentioned that you've been dating him for 5 years. Have their been wedding talks?
What's the plan?
(And if I'm out of line getting all in your blogger business, then just kick me back to Tea & Such, I don't mind)

wow it's normal esp at our age.. man 27 dresses was my movie!
- December 3, 2008 at 9:33 AM
- Mrs.Young_fashion said...
yummy, 27 dresses was such a fulfilling movie, I cried.
T, I understand where you're coming from, it's just that my imagination tends to run a little to wild to the point I forget we were talking about her to being with.
+ FYI my hubby is my boyfriend of 5 years, we are planning to have the wedding after I am done with school. Truth be told we were going to bet married when we were 18, right out of HS, then we grew brain sells and changed the plans. Smart idea, huh?
- December 3, 2008 at 10:02 AM
- Therapeutic Musings said...
Hey, I was going to get married at 18, right out of high school, then I realized we didn't have health insurance so we waited until after college, smart move! But you are supposed to be excited and talk about your own wedding when helping people with their own, it's only natural.

While in her pre-teens, she came to the realization that doing all the work of her villainy was boring and time consuming, not to mention physically taxing. So she
Her plan was going splendidly!
In high school, though she always auditioned for the lead, she was always cast..yep you guessed it...the villain. Sophomore year she went out for Cinderella, and was cast The Evil Stepmother. As a Junior she auditioned for Eliza Doolittle, and was cast as, well...Eliza Doolittle (there's no real villain in My Fair Lady). And as a Senior, Grease WAS the word, and La was Rizzo.
Once she became an adult, she realized that her wickedness must be subdued, else she could not function in society. So she did her patriotic duty and enlisted in the military, which was an excellent outlet for her. It provided a means in which to plot and stratregize, utilizing her excellent problem creating-then-solving skills while feeding her need for adventure and excitement, and she quite excelled.
However, La may, from time to time, when faced with "breaking in" a just-out-of OTC, barely wet behind the ears butterbar noob in the form of a fresh-faced 2nd Lieutenant, have been known to send said noob to base supply for a yard of flight-line, or to AGE to get an electronic pallet stretcher. Ahem...
Not all was smooth sailing on La's road to world domination. A few years back, Momoze, one of her 2 beloved feline minions, deserted her by succumbing to cancer. And since La must have 2 minions for her evil plan to work, all of her villainous activities ceased until she could find a new one. And Momoze, in his infinite wickedness, send her a dog as his replacement. A DOG! What good is a dog at evilness. I'll tell you...NONE WHATSOEVER. They're so honest and loyal and good-two-shoes, it made her sick. Nope. No 4-legged henchmen could ever aspired to the nefarious underhandedness as that of the feline persuasion. Besides, the lack of opposable thumbs had become quite a hindrance.
La wasn't born evil, you know...just merely wicked. However, it was the introduction novelty yarn to her life that made her truly evil. Now, she is completely merciless. While entertaining her remaining long-suffering cat with a laser pointer, instead of putting the "light of all amusement" away under a chair or behind a door, she just makes it vanish into thin air, perplexing poor tortured feline endlessly. Sassy has been known to search for her beloved light for hours afterwards. And it only gets uglier from there.
With maturity came subtlety and her desire for world domination. When no one's looking, she'll rough up the funfur in the bigbox stores, and then just leave it there for some other unsuspecting knitter to deal with. At her LYS, she's been known to take all but 1 ball of a dyelot even if she didn't need all of them.
And now...NOW she taunts unsuspecting knitters with beautiful yarns, and then updates her shops so infrequently and with such a paltry amount of yarn, that only the quickest, strongest and most determined survive the feeding frenzy. She is a master of misdirection. She mixes addictive substances into her dyes and creates colorways that visually addict her customers to her yarns, all the while distracting them from her true intent with witty banter, amusing anectdotes and biting snark. She and her two magnificent, malevolent minions have set the fiber world (excuse the pun) a-spinning, and they don't even know it...
Yeah, KnottyLa? She's mean...and she puts colored water onto bits of string...

Physical education is the most evidenced-based solution to get students active today and prepared for a lifetime of health & fitness.
Physical education increases a child's:
- Physical activity participation and fitness levels
- Fundamental motor skills and movement patterns
- Knowledge, attitudes & motivation towards lifelong health & fitness
But, unfortunately physical education is not a priority in our schools:
- Less than 4% of schools require daily PE
- Almost 50% of high school students do not attend any PE during an average school week
- The median school PE budget is less than $800
In order to improve youth fitness, we scale innovative solutions that directly address the key barriers and limitations facing PE.
Our signature initiative, the Presidential Youth Fitness Program, trains physical educators to empower students to be fit for life and provides high-quality PE resources to schools across the country.

Vision 2020, a national program out of Drexel University, presented it's Tomorrow Awards that recognizes and honors women who are outstanding in their academic pursuits and are actively making a difference in the world.
The Vision 2020 National Delegates hosted their conference in conjunction with the 2015 Economic Summit for Women in Nashville at the Nashville Airport Marriot on October 26th to 28th.
The Women's Economic Council Foundation has given three scholarships to graduating Tennessee high school girls and three scholarships to non-traditional female students each year since 2007, giving upwards of $80,000 to girls and women for their continued educational growth. Two of the past WECF scholarship winners are also recipients of Vision 2020's 2015 Tomorrow Award.
Pat Pierce, chair of the scholarship committee says, "It is great to be a part of women's journey to advancing their financial independence and their continued success."
Two previous scholarship recipients were nominated for this year's Tomorrow awards! They have shared their experience with the TECW Staff since receiving the WECF Scholarships with hopes to inspire other women to be a lighthouse in their communities.
Busra Gungor is a rising junior at the University of Pennsylvania with a major focused in Biological Basis of Behavior and a minor in Health Services Management through Wharton. Busra's interest in neurodegenerative diseases has directed her to volunteer at the Smell and Taste Clinic to collect and analyze data on Parkinson's disease. She has also conducted research in a cardiovascular laboratory at Smilow Center for Translational Research, primarily working on understanding the glycosylation of a specific protein found in heart disease patients. During the school year, she actively serves as executive editor for the UPENN journal, Synapse, that is created for undergraduates to discuss health care and medical issues. Busra continues to fulfill her love for neuroscience and work with kids– which is another one of her passions. She is a curriculum developer for Action Potential, a new organization geared towards increasing excitement about the brain through hands-on activities and lesson plans in west Philadelphia high schools. As a passionate advocate for affordable health care and with increasing curiosity in global health, Busra has traveled to Madurai this past summer for a ten-week internship at the Aravind Eye Hospital. Upholding an extraordinary business model for delivering high quality of care at a low cost, Aravind aims to eradicate needless blindness in India. She was extremely motivated to work with the pediatric ophthalmology department on a project this summer to further increase awareness pertaining to common eye conditions and misconceptions through various videos and online clipbooks. Busra shared with her delight and honor for the consideration of getting this nomination for the Tomorrow Awards and looks forward to attending the summit.
Emily Beckman graduated as valedictorian from Central Magnet School and has been studying aerospace engineering at the University of Tennessee space institute. Being a member of the Society of Women Engineers she is a researcher for her professor, Dr. Termaath, in computational structural mechanics. She has mainly done work on the metal component of a composite patch under impact loading. Last spring she went on an engineering outreach service trip to Costa Rica and helped build a septic tank system for a local family. This past summer, Emily worked as an intern at the University of Tennessee Space Institute and designed a flat plate model for a Mach 1.8 wind tunnel to study boundary layer transitions. Emily has shared "I was able to focus more on studying and learn as much as possible." She says the WECF scholarship greatly eased her transition into college life. After receiving the scholarship she didn't need to worry about the financial burden of attending college nearly as much. Beckman is "proud to represent women who are striving to make their community a better place."
Both recipients are excited to attend the summit for a second time. Beckman said that it was great experience and she was able to meet many women with impressive accomplishments and who are great role models.

text: ANNIE'S MAILBOX KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie, I am a 52-year-old male who has been married for 27 years. I have always tried to be a good husband and father. Last summer at a family reunion, one of my wife's old high school boyfriends showed up. They quickly hit it off and spent most of the afternoon talking about old times. It didn't bother me because I always have trusted my wife. Recently, however, she has started acting more secretive, and I have caught her lying about certain things. In particular, she took a "mental health" day off. That evening, I went to get something out of her car, and saw that she had put over 200 miles on the odometer. I asked about it, and she admitted she had traveled to a mall, and I know it's close to where her old boyfriend lives. Now my wife wants to go away for a weekend alone "to think." She says I am smothering her. However, several days ago, I noticed she had visited a Web site about a motorcycle show. She has absolutely no interest in motorcycles -- but her old boyfriend does. I saw that for her weekend away, she booked reservations at the hotel where there is going to be a huge, three-day motorcycle show. What am I to think except that she is going to spend the weekend with him? Should I confront her? I have asked her to see a marriage counselor with me, but she is adamant about not wanting to do this. I am tempted to go to the show and, if they are together, tell her that our marriage is over. Dazed and Confused Dear Dazed, This is too important to play hide and seek. Tell your wife what you have discovered and ask if she wants to save your marriage, because you have lost your trust in her. It's quite likely that after 27 years of marriage, she believes an old high school boyfriend will make her feel young and exciting again. But she may not fully understand what she's risking. Remind her.

Even without the additional optionals this soup still remains deliciously lovely and homely. Great to welcome you home on those chilly winter nights! Eat your heart out on this soup! I'm sure you will enjoy!
Serves: 4 – 8
You may choose to saute your chopped onions in saucepan if you prefer but the pre microwave steaming method of all your veggies will really speed things up and really does not sacrifice flavor. The secret is to just take care not to overcook your vegetables.
To my soup I added some of the green Hubbard squash skins which I steamed in sealed microwave-safe container. This will give your soup and extra colour boost which is optional.
In South Africa I don't use the Knorr brand Chicken Noodle Soup powder as I find it has deteriorated – Unless there has been a change since I last made it.
Onions: I pre-steamed mine whole in their skins – This is how: Wash your brown-skinned onions with peels on. Steam them on high in a sealed micro-safe container – Do not add water – When tender – Leave them to sweat in sealed container to cool down and then just pinch off the root end and squeeze them gently and they will pop right out from their skins. Leaving them to cool in this way allows them to sweat which makes it easier to peel.
If You Don't want onion tears! Follow the above method or refrigerate your onions overnight and voila no more onion tears on chopping!
Extra optionals to add are: 1-2 carrots, 1-2 celery stalks with leaves and 1-2 fresh garlic cloves all pre-steamed and pureed into soup.
1/2 a Hubbard squash – My weight after steaming was 1.130kg – OR – 2 American acorn squashes
2 tablespoons butter – OR – Coconut oil for vegans
1 very large onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon allspice or whole allspice ground in coffee mill (I grind my dried berries whole)
1/4 teaspoon cardamom, whole ground in coffee mill (I grind spice whole in their pods)
1-2 carrots (Optional) I never added
1-2 sticks celery (optional) I never added
1-2 garlic cloves freshly crushed (optional) I never added
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon salt OR 1 – 2 chicken stock cubes to taste (stock cubes boosts flavor)
2 cups chicken broth – I used 110g packets of Chicken noodle soup powder
1 cup heavy cream (I added a little less to taste) OR coconut cream for vegans
Place whole squash in a closed shopping or supermarket bag or packet. Hold up high and throw few times onto a hard tiled solid floor to break it into pieces.
Place pieces in large microwave steam container and steam on high until soft all the way through.
Remove and set aside to cool.
Wash and place a very large unpeeled onion into a microwave safe sealed steam container and steam on high until soft all the way through. Set aside covered and allow to sweat in container until cool enough to handle.
If you are going go be adding garlic to your soup – Place garlic clove centered on saucer in microwave and cook on high for just a few seconds to a minute or until it just starts releasing it's smell. Remove, set aside until cool enough to handle and then peel.
Steam , carrots and celery, cover with just a sprinkling water until just tender enough to puree and set aside.
Place whole spices into coffee grinder and grind to a fine powder.
Add all ingredients to saucepan and off the heat, puree all ingredients together with a stick blender.
Add an extra 2-3 liters water, depending how thick you like your soup and reheat.
Follow instructions on packets of soup powders and add it to your saucepan.
Simmer a few more minutes until done.
When done remove from heat and stir in cream or do so individually after serving in bowls.
Garnish with cilantro or parsley with crumbled of feta cheese or you may even serve simply plain with just a swirl of cream.

Although it had its laughs, this picture had an awful lot of drama for the usual Johnny Hines vehicle. Hines plays Steve "Rainbow" Riley, a cub reporter who is first seen trying to land an interview with a man who refuses to talk to anyone. It turns out the guy is deaf and dumb -- amusing in 1926 if not exactly politically correct humor nowadays. Riley is given another assignment and sent down to the Kentucky mountains to cover a feud. Once he gets there, he falls in love with Alice Ripper (Brenda Bond) and earns the enmity of both warring clans. A mentally unhinged character (John Hamilton) runs off with Alice and takes her to his mountain stronghold. Riley's heroic measures save her, but after he has subdued the madman, he finds himself surrounded by the angry mountain clans. Luckily, he has sent a wire to the newspaper that has been misinterpreted -- instead of thinking that Riley is in trouble, they believe that it's the president who is in danger. As a result, the whole army and navy come to the rescue. The mountain men run off, and Riley and Alice are saved.

Rainbow Riley and we will let you know when it becomes available.

Reliance Jio Infocomm has criticised the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India's recent proposal to roll out uniform spectrum usage charges.
According to reports, the Mukesh Ambani-backed broadband services company, in a letter to the Telecom Department has said the proposal contradicts the guidelines specified at the time of spectrum auction in 2010.
"Any post-facto increase in spectrum usage charge at this stage violates the terms and conditions of the contract, will adversely affect the business viability of the broadband wireless spectrum holders and is legally untenable. It will also vitiate investors' sentiments which are already at the lowest ebb," Reliance Jio said in a letter to the Department of Telecom.
Describing the proposal as discriminatory, Reliance Jio Infocomm says the proposal is against the interests of broadband players and benefits existing players, who pay about 8 percent of revenues as spectrum charges.
While giving recommendations on spectrum pricing issues, the telecom regulator had called for a flat spectrum usage charge of 3 percent of operator's annual revenue. Reliance Jio says the move will hurt it because as per the auction rules announced in 2010 the broadband spectrum owners are supposed to pay 1 percent of the annual revenues.
"The concern of the regulator is also unfounded. If the revenues can be bifurcated for the two types of spectrum allocation being used for 2G services, then why it will not be possible to segregate the subscriber of 4G networks using broadband spectrum," it said.

US soft power triumphs in probe of Blatter's corrupt casino
By Derek Shearer
Occidental College
Soccer is truly the world's sport. It is played and watched by more people across the globe than any other sport.
Every four years, it is the center of global attention when the World Cup is held. It's as if the World Series and Super Bowl were rolled into one mega-sporting event with viewership in the hundreds of millions.
A private organization based in Switzerland called FIFA controls the selection of the host country, the commercial sponsors for the event and the rules by which the matches are played. In other words, FIFA has monopoly control over this massive global event.
For decades, many fans and players, including leading professional soccer stars, have considered FIFA to be a deeply corrupt organization. Now the US, itself not a leading soccer nation, has challenged FIFA's position as global arbiter of the sport by indicting leading soccer officials.
"These individuals and organizations engaged in bribery to decide who would televise games, where the games would be held and who would run the organizations overseeing organized soccer worldwide," US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said. "They were expected to uphold the rules and keep soccer honest. Instead, they corrupted the world of soccer."
FIFA's dirty casino
The US Department of Justice announced indictments of 14 FIFA officials and sports marketing executives this past week, charging them with "rampant, systemic and deep-rooted" corruption. When Swiss authorities made early morning arrests of half of them at a posh hotel in Switzerland as the FIFA World Congress met to reelect its authoritarian leader Sepp Blatter, I cheered at the news.
The US move has been praised and condemned, but I think that it strengthens America's soft power around the world, sending a clear message against monopoly, anti-democratic processes and corruption – and in a sport that most of the world loves.
The importance of the role that FIFA plays in controlling a global sports event cannot be underestimated.
For many countries, hosting the World Cup or the Olympics is seen as a coming of age event – an opportunity to promote its country brand on a global stage. Hosting the World Cup in 2010 signaled that South Africa was now a rising multiracial society. When Brazil was awarded the 2014 World Cup, the country's president announced that the country had arrived as a global player. The competition to host the World Cup can be a high-stakes game; FIFA owns the casino, sets the term of the bets and controls the winnings.
Soft power triumphs
The selection by FIFA of Putin's Russia to host the 2018 World Cup and of tiny Qatar to host in 2022 was highly suspect. Suspicions of money changing hands and undue influence on the FIFA executive committee were widespread, and led to cynicism about FIFA as an international sporting organization.
Blatter, who was re-elected for his fifth term as head of the organization, has continually shrugged off concerns about his leadership. He has worked at FIFA for 40 years, the past 17 as president. Although FIFA is mocked by TV comedians like John Oliver and criticized by citizen groups demanding great transparency, reform of the organization has seemed unlikely. Blatter maintained tight control of the organization. FIFA's insider-controlled governance structure seemed impenetrable, until the US took legal action.
"Today, soccer wins, transparency wins. Enough of dirty deals, enough of lies," former Argentine soccer star Diego Maradona told the media after the indictment. Romário de Souza Faria, a Brazilian soccer star turned politician, praised the FBI on the floor of the Brazilian Senate. Popular British soccer blogger Roger Bennett told CBS Morning News that the US deserved the thanks of the world for moving against FIFA officials.
The immediate impact of the Department of Justice action is a plus for American soft power. Although the US is late to the soccer world – baseball, football and basketball have always had more appeal – the game has greatly expanded from AYSO youth leagues to top collegiate teams to a professional soccer league. Begun in 1993, Major League Soccer (MLS) has expanded to 20 cities in the US and Canada and is now moving toward profitability. Average attendance at matches exceeds that of the NBA and the NHL.
Growing Latino immigration has also fueled interest. The US women's World Cup soccer team, led by such stars as Mia Hamm and Abby Wambach, has helped grow the sport as well. Slowly but surely, the US is becoming a soccer nation.
US overreaching? Hardly
Some countries are less than pleased with the US legal moves. Russian President Vladimir Putin charged that the US actions "are another blatant attempt by the United States to extend its jurisdiction to other states." At a press conference, Putin tried to link the FIFA indictments to the US pursuit of former NSA employee Edward Snowden and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
No doubt Qatar officials are getting nervous that their selection as 2022 hosts might be reversed. After the arrests this week, Swiss prosecutors announced a new criminal investigation into the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. Authorities in Brazil and Argentina have begun investigations of their own soccer officials in cooperation with their US counterparts.
In the voting for the head of FIFA at the close of the week, the US and most European nations supported reform candidate Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan, while most Asian and African nations stuck with the incumbent. FIFA's president is elected in a one-country, one-vote system, with a secret ballot among its 209 member country soccer organizations. Blatter has used his position and control of millions of dollars doled out to developing countries to offset his unpopularity in the US and Europe, so it was not a surprise that he was reelected by a 133-73 vote.
Like Putin or other authoritarian leaders, Blatter will not give up power easily. It will be interesting to see if the US will stay the course, continue legal investigations and use public diplomacy to call for transparency and honesty in global soccer.

If you could pick 1 service that you have on a cruise that you could have at home, what would you choose?
Would it be to have someone clean your home, plan your meals/cook for you, plan your day full of activities. Maybe serve you drinks?
For me, without a doubt would be clean my home. Coming home to clean is . Doing it on the weekends I hate more.

E-Z Jeep Lift On A BudgetPosted in How To: Suspension Brakes on May 1, 2013
Most newbies to the off-road sport get a 4x4, and then buy bigger tires and try to make them fit. All too often this results in expensive suspension systems, lots of labor, and cut-up sheetmetal. For many that is the way to go, especially for those fabbers who can build a cool custom suspension. But what about the vast majority of wheelers who just need a bit of lift for bigger tires for better performance? That's where we were with our long-term Rubicon JK that we treat like a lease vehicle: We can't dent it, cut off the suspension, or anything else wild, just like many of you. But as capable as the Rubicon is in stock form, we wanted a more manly look and better performance without killing our budget.
The Jeep comes with LT255 BFGs that measure just shy of 32 inches on a good day. While these tires are sufficient, we really wanted some 35-inch Interco tires for the extra ground clearance. Of course that meant a suspension lift was needed for tire clearance, but we hated to lose the ride quality of the stock Rubicon.
After looking around for the best bang-for-the-buck solution, we finally picked Daystar's 13⁄4-inch spacer lift. The Daystar kit comes with four poly pucks that fit on top of the coils, and hardware for the rear sway bar. We also opted for Daystar's twin-tube shocks for a bit more travel. Overall the package was the easiest to install and the least initial investment. It kept the ride quality the same, and it can still be easily removed so the Jeep can be returned to stock when we send it back. We even did the work ourselves in the driveway with handtools, and after a few thousand miles took it back off. While it is a simple and straightforward install, here are a few tips and tricks to make your install a breeze.

A rising demand for product managers
Data released recently by SEEK shows that product managers are in serious demand, with job opportunities up 53% year-on-year to June 2015. Doug Blue, Product Director at SEEK, says the data is no surprise, given the increasing reliance businesses across all industries are having on technology.
"Our data shows that product managers are in the top 10 roles that are hard to fill across information technology. It's a relatively new career path, so businesses are struggling to fill the roles with managers who have the right technical background, but also the experience behind them."
The data showed that a career in product management garnered an average salary of over $100,000, making it one of the highest paid specialties within information technology.
To understand the importance of product managers, consider that for every new product that goes to market, someone needs to conceptualise it, work closely with design and development teams, and launch the product. This is a product manager's job.
So, that's why, for the first time, a large product management gathering will be held on home soil in Melbourne, Australia.
'Leading the Product' is a community event championed by product managers from companies like Instagram, Expert360 and Yammer, and will feature SEEK's own CEO, Andrew Bassat. It is a place to ignite passion for developing and managing great products and services.
It's good timing too, as the industry shows no sign of slowing. Adrienne Tan, CEO and Founder of Brainmates, a company that provides professional product management consulting, says the demand for product management in Australia is only going to increase.
"I'm seeing more businesses that are committed to upskilling their product managers, and demand for training is up 300% in the past 12 months. Those already working in the field are hungry for career development and networking opportunities. To see the calibre of speakers and the strong demand for tickets to 'Leading the Product 'reinforces that this is a profession to watch," concludes Tan.
Typically, product managers come from engineering or marketing backgrounds, but equally as many successful product managers start off in customer service or technical support roles, then head into product quality assurance. Across all these roles they build up their knowledge about the market, the customer and the products, which positions them well to drive innovation.
According to Blue, businesses are already challenged to find the talent they need to keep pace, with many Australians tempted to work overseas.
"We want to show the world that successful, rewarding and challenging product management careers can be had in Australia, and to do that we need to be exposing professionals to the best in the industry from both Australia, and overseas," he concludes.

What Are Tembleques?
What are tembleques? Tembleques are tremblers; shaky things that go in your hair.....and part of the National Dress of Panama, the Pollera. They can be made of glass beads, gold beads, silver beads, pearls, and FISH SCALES. Yes, fish scales. Have you ever come across some beautiful fish scales on the beach? They are usually irridescent, and will catch your eye on the sand among the broken shells on the beach. There are many here on the Panama City, Florida, beaches; you just have to realize they are not parts of shells but actual fish scales that have washed up on shore. They sure looked lovely on those shiny fish you caught on the fishing reel, and that you threw out while cleaning it, but when fish pass away naturally, they do wash up on shore. The ones I have seen here on the beach are greyish and irredescent. Now, why on earth would anyone want to use fish scales in their hair, and in a National Dress? Well, to understand it you would have to go back to when the Pollera (Panama's National Dress) was created. Back in the colonial days, women would fashion jewelry with anything they could find. Pearls, gold, beads, pretty irridescent fish scales....yep. They would take them and bleach them out, and then dye them in different colors to form the petals of a flower, for instance, or the wings of a butterfly. Flowers and butterflies made with these fish scales are very beautiful because the fish scales never lose their irridescence, and they are very sturdy. They are mounted on wire, and then wrapped onto hair clips or "peinettas," or combs, and then placed into the hair. The effect is very beautiful. Back in the colonial days, materials were more pure, and they were the real thing. Gold was the real thing, pearls and beads were the real thing, not plastic immitations like we have now-a-days (They didn't even know what plastic was). They wouldn't even dream of using an inferior metal! The Pollera dress, with all its gold embellishments (there are numerous necklaces and earrings that are part of the Pollera dress that I won't go into here because that would be a different hub), would be handed down through generations of women as part of the family wealth.
The whole purpose of the tembleques is for them to shake and irridesce on the head while the dancer is dancing the different typical dances in the Pollera costume; of course, ultimately, to look pretty and to attract the opposite sex. It really is a pretty sight to behold. But you'd have to take a trip to Panama, Central America to check them out, unless you live in the Ft. Walton Beach/Destin area (this area) or another area that could have a Latin Festival and Panamanian Pollera dancers. Yearly, there is a Latin Festival held in the large Destin Convention Center in the middle of Highway 98, and this year they had some Panamanian Dancers in all their garb (including the tembleques) dancing some dances and displaying what they had to display. I was there and I danced along with them. It was so much fun!
The Pollera Embellishments - Gold
Sharing a Story
One more proud Panamenian how was in desparate need on a pollera for a school activity (mult-cultural week) my nine year old daughter is going to participate in. As we all now that trying to get a pollera in three weeks is next to imposible, weather it's made her in the U.S. or come from Panama, furtunately, I was able to get in contact with a beutifull lady by the name of Orisleyla that worked with me in a tireying and exuasting effort to get me everthing that I need in a timely manor. Dowing this for a complete stranger, making phone calls to different vendors to get me the most competative price, driving around not only to pick up the items but also mailing them out to me is an experince I will never forget. I will always be endated to her. If it has anything to do with customs and traditions of Panama, polleras, montunos and to me the best part Pintao (hat worn with the muntuno) Orisleyla is the person you sould consider getting in touch with. I can't wait for the day of the event (Feb 29) to share my culture with the world. My mom always say that, if you do good, then good will follow you. By the way you can get moore information at panama-polleras.com, or panamafolkdress.con

on July, conmemoring the Santa Librada festivities, also celebrates on 22, "Festival Nacional de la Pollera", at Los Santos Provinces in Las Tablas City, you'll be abble to se the best expouse of all the ways as the pollera is been made, awards will give away to the best.
Hola si estas en los Estados Unidos De America y necesitas tembleques dejame saber. Yo estoy haciendo tembleques para la venta y tambien tapamonom,los precios varian.
If you need tembleques let me know, I'm making them for sell and also tapamonos. Please let me know if you need some. email@example.com
Hi dear ones,
Well, the pollera takes a 1 1/2 to make and most likely you have to order a pollera. The cost is btween 1,500.00 dollars up to 3,500.00 dollars. Nothing cheap and easy to make is you want the real thing. The Panamanian national dress is originally made by hand, not in a painted material. Regarding tembleques, you can buy bead, the wire (No.26 and 21) in Hobby Lobby, and other craft stores. Fish scales are not longer in used since there is soooo much work involved.

Oh I live in Columbus Ohio.
I'm from Panama city Panama and I make beautiful tembleques. If you need them let me know and I will be more than happy to make them for you. My email is email@example.com
My mother is an artisan and she has been making polleras for more than 30 years. I grow up around her beautiful work, she knows how to make everything for our cultural and folkloric dresses. I must to say: if you are looking for something cheap go to Salsipuedes in Panama Town but if you really want the real and hand made polleras you should go to San Jose de Las Tablas in Los Santos. If somebody need something we have it since tembleques, to shoes montuno/as,jewerly etc. or for your convenience we can make them. I live in Orlando Fl and my husband a me have been wearing polleras and camisillas in carnivals the last 3 years and each one diferent of each other all of them made by my mom and of course I'm preparing the new one for the next year!!. Believe me it's fell so good to have a mom that has been dressing from carnivals and festivals queens to her own family with her craftwork.If you need something just email to me at: email@example.com
I must say it has been a while since I've seen a pollera, I lived in panama for 10 years and it's my country I have searched for many years to be able to get a dress from panama online, but alas seems impossible.... but I must say that if you are looking to buy a pollera it will easily cost about 1500$$ hand made FYI Full White wedding Pollera is the most expensive, the montuno which I do believe is the color skirt with white top is the cheapest I know for a fact that the lowest you will probably ever find a Pollera would be about 500$$$ depending from where and whom you buy it from, i do suggest that if you ever do go to panama you should visit Los Santos it is the most Cultural part of panama if you are able to get your dress from there it will most likely be hand made and you should be able to expect full detail, how ever in Panama Viejo/a( downtown Panama) you should be able to find some machine made polleras but of course those are never the same. This dress is a lost art but very beautifull...
Great hub! I would wear this stuff!
I am looking for a pattern for the pollera - anyone have any clue where to obtain one? A montuno pattern would be great too but think I can adapt another male pattern for that
Lilian, los gusanillos se encuentran exclusivamente en Panamá. No hay ni modo. Yo he buscado, tambien. Puede hacer su propio gusanillo si coge un anfiler y lo enrolla con un alambre de plata bien, bien fino, alrededor y alrededor. Pero sabrá que nunca será lo mismo que el auténtico. ¡Pruébelo! Translation: Lillian, the gusanillos are found exclusively in Panama. There's no way. I've already looked, myself. You can make your own if you take a pin and wrap it with a very, very thin silver wire, round and round. But you know it will never be the same as the authentic one. Try it!
Hola a todos
Vivi en Panama y estoy residiendo en los EU por casi 21 anos. he aprendido varias manualidades pero ahora me siento atraida por la confeccion de tembleques. se me hace muy dificil encontrar los llamado "gusanillo". tal vez sepan la traduccion o simplemente donde los puedo encontrar aqui en los USA. disfruto todo sus comentarios.
My wife is an expert in Polleras and all aspects related to Panama´s Folklore. She was selected as the "Princesa of the Asociacion de Santeños" and won the best pollera using one of Madariaga´s polleras (the author of La Pollera book)In my opinion you find real good things at "Salsipuedes" but with lots of mistakes and not handcrafted ( I mean a lot of Singer), but if you are not worried about been exact that is a cheap option and looks fine to the eye, but if you want to invest in a real authentic artisan made pollera you might want to talk with my wife, she can probably help you in finding the best price and quality her email is firstname.lastname@example.com
You can go to mipollera.com and interrealpanama.com These sites have links to were you can purchase almost anything tipico from polleras,enaguas, tembleques and camisillas basquinas. However be prepared to pay some money, these are the real authentic polleras that are sold. If you want to save some money and know anyone who lives in panama have them go to Salsipuedes. I found a white pollera for my 8yr old for 100 US dollars. In Penonome you can get the shoes for like 12 US dollars.
My daughter will be 15 in 2010 August. She want's to wear a traditional Pollera, where can I buy one and how much?
Thank you.
If you need something from Panama about polleras only write to: email@example.com
God Bless You!
Beautiful hub, like all dresses and all that happines expressed on an dancer's smile.
I'm from Barranquilla Colombia, and i'm very used to Carnaval de Barranquilla.
Just got back from Panama...great place......I live in the Bahamas......Met a young lady there "liriola".....promises to show me how to make a Tembleque.....I fell madly in love with them the first time I saw them..they are sold in their store in Panama city.....email@example.com
I'm panamanian too. You have to ask somebody in Panama to get yo a pollera from Calidonia, they can get you a white pollera since they have it hanging on the wall. They have all kinds of tembleques, they are not expensive, at least not the ones on the narrow hallways. I'll try to make a video on how to make tembleques.
I like very my your page, I'm a panamanian living in UKraine so far ago, I can't find something like this here. thank a lot!
I learned how to make polleras from the book "La Pollera Panamena" written by Zarate. It's the only instructional source I know. You can try to get it online, or if you happen to be in Panama City, you can get it from "Biblioteca Cultural Panamana". Purely white polleras are easy to make with materials found in the US, and it takes like 1-2 weeks to make. However, if you want to make a colored fancy pollera, you must realize that it will take EXTENSIVE time and effort to make an "authentic" one. So I have resorted to hand-painting the "talco" (the apliqued handwork), and applying colored crochet thread to purchased white lace. (Put the crochet thread in the bobbin, and place plain white paper underneath for stability; tear-it away later.) The fine linen lace edging (valenciano), is just IMPOSIBLE to find in matching sets, so I use nylon lace 5-7" wide. (I cut 2 1/2" from the edge for the narrow lace to match.) I was thinking of writing a book on the subject of making your own sub-authentic polleras, one of these days.
Does any one know where I can buy or order a pollera?
if so please write and let me know. thanks
I need to find out where can I purchase the material to and pattern to make a pollera for my daughters wedding next year. I am panamanian and wanted her to have a traditional pollera for her reception..... please email instructions, thanks
How are tembleques made? I would love to make a simple one for my wedding in October and can't find instructions anywhere about them. How can I buy them also(just in case i guess)?
Is that what those are called? I'm so ignorant when it comes to Latin cultures. :( Great article--aren't those dresses awfully heavy with all that ornamentation?

Multimodel Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Our growing understanding of how to develop and maintain psychological and emotional balance has led us to a place where we now understand that there's a direct relationship between the dominant thoughts a person thinks, the behaviours they habitually engage in... and how they feel.
Without wishing to sound overly simplistic regarding what for some people can be extremely challenging mental health problems, it's important to realise that how we think literally influences how we feel. Therefore, for example, if we feel bad, and want to feel better instead and are prepared to experiment with other ways of thinking and behaving we will quite likely notice a change for the better (because our changed thoughts will influence our emotions differently).
Positive and negative emotions cannot coexist in equal proportion. One or other is ascendant while the other is diminished. When a person learns how to choose self-enabling thoughts, emotions and behaviours over self-disabling ones, the positive ones become the dominant state of mind meaning that other less helpful emotions like fear, anxiety and depression cannot take hold so easily. At most they become fleeting experiences that pass, before being overshadowed again by healthier outlooks.
Multimodel Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a form of counselling through which a person learns to become mindful of many hitherto automatic habits (negative thinking, for example) in order to discover how to change them. It includes coaching in a variety of alternative ways of thinking, feeling and behaving in order to improve quality of life. These approaches include principles from Humanistic Counselling, Hypnotherapy, Life Coaching, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT) and 'Pure' Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), along with the more modern forms of CBT, such as, Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT), Metacognitive Therapy, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Schema Therapy.
Full Spectrum Therapy...
Multimodel Cognitive Behavioural Therapy works at many levels, including;
* Achieving heightened awareness of the physiological components to emotion,
* Uncovering and depotentiating negative automatic thoughts,
* Improving perceptual discernment,
* Developing meta perception,
* Discovering how to choose the energy of self-directed compassion, over negative energies like fear, anger and despair.
Multimodel Cognitive Behavioural Therapy also takes note of transpersonal (spiritual) approaches to wellness, and therefore incorporates a holistic approach giving due consideration to issues effecting;
* Mind
* Body
* ...and Spirit.
We believe that it's only when all aspects of self are taken into account that true harmony can exist. Therefore we incorporate elements of many well-known principles into our approach, including visualisation skills, goal setting and spiritual development (in the form of heightened transpersonal awareness) when required.
Therapy sessions...
Multimodel Cognitive Behavioural Therapy counselling sessions are available on a one-to-one basis, to help you address issues such as
* Agoraphobia,
* Anxiety,
* Depression,
* Guilt,
* Indecision,
* Low self-esteem,
* Phobias,
* Shame,
* Social phobia,
* Stress,
* Tourette's syndrome,
... and more.

Lets Ride – Bone Thugs N Harmony
Bone and Biggie, Biggie.

This is a lake of fire, but I can't even hold on.
[Simulated clapping.]
Notorious thugs.
Nothin' but them thugstas. Nothin' but them thugstas [thugstas].
Notorius B.I.G.:
Armed and dangerous: ain't too many can bang with us. Straight up weed, no angel dust. Label us notorious thug-ass niggas
that love to bust. It's strange to us, y'all niggas be scramblin', gamblin' up in restaurants with mandolins and violins. We just
sittin' here tryin' to win, try not to sin, high off weed and lots of gin. So much smoke, need oxygen, steadily countin' them
Benjamins. Nigga, you'd shoot, too, if you knew what this game would do to you. Been in this sh!t since ninety-two. Look at

niggas move like Mike, sh!t, not to be f*cked with. Muthaf*cka, better duck quick, 'cause me and my dogs love to buck sh!t.
Fuck the luck, sh!t, strictly aim, no aspirations to quit the game. Spit your game, talk your sh!t, grab your gat, call your click,

f*ckin' in it. Doesn't it seem odd to you? B.I.G. come through with mobs and crews. Goodfellas down for the Mo Thug
crew. Who's the killa: me or you?
Puff Daddy:
We forgive you, for you know not what you do.
Seven A.M. woke in the morning, with Hen and caffiene and green and nicotine. No dough, so pop a couple of those. Little
RIPsta, nigga, Mr. Clean. Make it deep, deep in my temple, and I go get sentimentally steamed with my instrumelody and
heated especially for your team and the forty-five indeed will beam in between the seams, destroy your dreams. You willing to
die? We'll see how many flee when I 'cause the scene. We mean mug, Mo Thug, trained to be perfect disciples when it's
survival time, die by double-edged sword, triple six rivals spittin' fire, that's the real truth, b!tch, breakin' down for lives, my
Messiah, better get ready for Armageddon, shoots expired, it's wild. Bless the child, the one that became a man, but them
positions' already there, all that I had to do was stare. Test me now, contend, never no surrender, no pretend, pick up my gun
in my hand, one of my trusty friend, friends. Hey, open and let 'em see if we're real. We all suited, beg my pardon to Martin,
baby, we ain't marchin', we shootin', and daily recrutin'. There's a thug born everyday in the ghetto. We start 'em off little, we
give 'em a bottle and a pen and pad. They hit the label, kick it.
Little Kray roll on over to the dark spot, to the dome with a shot of burb, now me go back to the curb. Me feelin' that urge to
splurge, but I'm broke as f*ck. "Sin, gimme that Mossberg swerve." Off into my pad, 'cause I gotta get my mask and shells to

pump, now Leatherface, Sin runnin', thuggin' and cuttin', Lil' Mo! Hart quick to pull it, ain't nothin'. Bitch, if you're steppin',
we're buckin' them guts. That's f*cked up. Now let me get down for the crime. Got to go purchase a dime, put in the state,
nigga double the crime, smokin' the reefer to ease my mind. Swig some wine, step on the block with the rocks, but really me

killas, need us a liter of liquor, but niggas ain't got sh!t, but a sawed-off pump, chrome .38 pistol, now who ready to get back?
Nigga like me fiendin' for them green leaves, but I ain't had no dough. Gotta make some money, so I makin' my dummy rocks,
if I go broke.
It's Bone and Biggie, Biggie.
It's Bone and Biggie, Biggie . . .
We gonna rock the party [rock the party, party].
Better run and tell everybody [everybody].

Ride. Let's ride. Let's ride. Let's ride. Come on and . . .
Get high, get high, get high . . .
[Yeah.] Little Lay, hey, comin' in the form of scripture, fin to get ya and hit ya with magic, drivin' out late, but I call on my
gadgets. With an automatic status, we spray. Time to load the glocks, but I'm thinkin' not, there's another evil force tellin' me
to do what I gotta do, so I up my pipe, a nigga dyin' tonight, and I'm always runnin' from the boys in blue, biggy-blue's on my
ass. Now, I whip out the cellular phone to call Bone, "What's happenin'? Grab artillery. Niggas start packin', 'cause a
muthaf*cka tried to get me in a jackin', and I did him." Hit 'em right between the eyes. The spot was wise. Wanna test a
nigga's size, and it cost him. Nigga f*ck around with the wrong sh!t, y'all get mo mudered all day, all day. We can play that

Welcome to Ona Havstuer - the fishing village with the ocean as its nearest neighbour!
Ona is one of Norway's most famous fishing villages, located in the outer reaches of the fjord in the municipality of Sandøy, to the west of Molde. It is a beautiful natural area with an exciting coastal environment.
With the ocean as its closest neighbour, Ona is able to offer abundant opportunities for adventures or for anyone who simply wants a bit of peace and quiet. Ona has approx. 30 permanent residents who mainly make their living from ceramics and fishing.
We have an old trading site on Ona that consists of a 5 apartments with 11 high-standard rooms (22 beds). Our restaurant also opens when bookings are made. It is the perfect place for working and teambuilding meetings!
A quote from the renowned crime writer, Henning Mankell: "There is something dramatic and alive here that attracts me."
Ona is an excellent starting point for sea fishing trips on our new fishing boat, the M/S Legona. We provide a local guide who will be able to talk about the history of the island. The island has several ceramics workshops that welcome visistors.
Ona is an experience, in both stormy and peaceful weather.

We now know that 3G is is already here and in fact few companies have even introduced their packages to the public, but to get the full taste of 3G, you must have a 3G phone in the first place.
The following are the phones which are considerably cheap and offer a huge bang for your hard-earned bucks.
To keep the list fresh, we've tried to add as new phones as possible, although, there are a few exceptions such as the Xperia L.
Moto E
Need we say anything more? Moto E is hands down the best starter-range smartphone on the market. The experience, the features and the price make this phone a must have.
You get a 4.3" qHD display to start with, running Android 4.4.2. Hardware includes the respectable Snapdragon 200, 1 GB RAM and 4 GB internal storage (also expandable) but the customizations of the OS won't make you feel that you're missing out on something.
The camera is horrendous, and there's only one of it, but at a price of just 100 Euros, this deal is hard to say no to.
Moto G
And when it comes to mid-range phones, nothing is possibly better than the Moto G. Starting at just about 20,000 PKR (for single SIM Model), the Moto G is a phone definitely worthy of attention.
A 4.5" 720p screen displays Android OS, which just like the Moto E is hardly customized.
Underneath, you'll get a Snapdragon 400 processor, 1 GB RAM and 8 GB storage. The storage isn't expandable but there's a new version with 4G and microSD slot, though, it will cost much more.
Did we mention there is a dual-sim version too? The Moto G is definitely one of the best phones to come out in the last six months.
Lumia 525
To leave an entry-level Windows Phone out of this list will be stupid. While Microsoft's platform is not quite as mature as Android, all credit to Nokia for churning out so many respectable budget Windows Phones.
The Lumia 525 has a 4" display with modest resolution, as well as a dual-core Qualcomm MSM8227 processor with 1 GB RAM.
A 5 megapixel camera finishes the deal, which will set you back by Rs. 18,000.
Nokia XL
I've written about the Nokia X quite extensively and while I liked it, its RAM issues certainly hurt the experience quite a bit. The Nokia XL has more RAM and a larger 5" display. It also has a 1Ghz dual-core processor, 5 mp camera and forked Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, which heals Nokia's Achilles Heels: apps.
This phone will set you back by around 17K PKR.
Desire 310
The Desire 310 has a 4.5" display with a quad-core MediaTek processor and 512 MB RAM. You also get 4 GB internal storage and a 5 megapixel camera capable of shooting 1080p video. And since it is made by HTC, you can also expect good build quality.
The phone will cost you Rs. 22,000.
Xperia L
This phone is decidedly old now but offers such a great value for money that we had to add it. You're getting a 4.3" display with acceptable resolution, a dual-core Qualcomm processor and 1 GB RAM. At the back lies an 8 mp camera with HD video. The display, being made by Sony isn't as good, however.
The phone costs about Rs. 18K.
Xperia C
The Xperia C is one of those big phones which cost surprisingly cheap. It comes with a 5" display with average resolution, and a quad-core MediaTek processor underneath with 1 GB RAM and 4 GB internal storage.
At the back lies an 8 megapixel camera with Full HD video. The Xperia C will set you back by Rs. 23K.
Noir 120
Maybe you were expecting this. The Noir 120 comes with a 4" WVGA display, 1 Ghz dual-core processor and 512 MB RAM. At the back sits a 5 mp camera. It costs just Rs. 10,600, and is plugged by Shahid Afridi. What is there that you can ask for more?
Huawei G700
The Huawei G700 is a more expensive than others, costing about Rs. 25,000 but has fine specs. You get a 5" display with 720p resolution, quad-core MediaTek processor and 2 GB RAM. You also get an 8 megapixel 1080p camera and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.
The OS is thickly-skinned but with Huawei, that is always expected.
Huawei Y530
The Y530 comes with a 4.5" display with modest resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, a dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor underneath and 512 MB RAM. At the back lies a 5 megapixel camera, while the OS running is Android 4.3. This phone will set you back by about Rs. 18K.
