Jelly Bean, The latest Android OS is super quick, and, shall I say, buttery smooth? Switching between apps is so easy; you will begin to feel you’re flipping through a book’s pages. An Amazing feature of Jelly Bean is that whenever you touch the screen, the processor is boosted, and when it’s idle, it just putters along. So you have great battery life.
Another great feature is the ability for users to take action directly from your notifications. You can customize your home screen and place widgets according to your needs. Shoot and view your pictures at just a touch, and share photos in an instant. Voice typing has been greatly improves, and the superbly accurate dictionaries mean you never type a wrong word again. Play android games as you play on laptop/desktops.
Jelly bean also has enhanced accessibility, especially for the visually impaired. The search options are simply mind blowing; you can voice search, and automatically get info (local weather, traffic and transportation info) as and when you need it. Google has already applied the war paint, and will give Apple’s iOS a serious run for their money. They will definitely be sent scurrying back to the drawing board to come up with something to best Jelly Bean.
So now let’s take a look at the gadgets that will run on the Jelly Bean OS.
Samsung’s selling-like-hot-cakes Smartphones the Galaxy S III and the S II will of course get the Jelly Bean Update, as will its ‘phablet’, the Galaxy Note. But they are tight lipped about when exactly the upgrade will be implemented. The Nexus S and Nexus Prime are already in the process of moving over to the new OS.
It’s also likely that the Galaxy Tab will also receive the upgrade, though no such announcement has yet been made. Other phones from the Galaxy series like the Galaxy R, S Plus and S Advance are also compatible with Jelly Bean; but Samsung has not made any statement that those phones would be upgraded.
HTC doesn’t want to be left behind. They have announced that their Tegra 3 powered One X, One XL and the One S are all in line to receive the upgrade as soon as they can implement it. Check my review about HTC One X vs Samsung Galaxy S3.
Sony’s Xperia range, the S, P, Arc S and Neo are likely to be upgraded. Also check out the Latest android phone prices in India.
Motorola being in the Google family is expected to receive the upgrades fastest. The Xoom, predictably, is already being updated, and the Razr range and the Atrix 2 will soon be rolled out with Jelly Bean in place.
Kindle Fire from Amazon is customized to an extent that updates seem nearly no-go. However there is a Jelly Bean Port available on the Fire; this means that you will get some of the Jelly Bean functionality, but don’t expect fireworks. Experts also strongly advise that you back up your data before you make use of the port.
Google’s Nexus 7, which was released side by side with Jelly Bean is of course one of the most powerful and economical mobile device we can see in the segment currently. Coming from Google it was already loaded with Jelly Bean and was an instant sell out. We can expect that other devices in the Nexus range, like the Nexus S, will also be upgraded to the latest Android OS shortly.
This list is still incomplete as there are still number of android device which will get Jelly Bean. You can share if you know more devices that ‘s getting Jelly Bean upgrade in the future.

Pension Almhof in Afritz am See is centrally located in a quiet and sunny spot with panoramic views looking out over the many (swimming) lakes that Carinthia has to offer. Lake Afritz is just a 5 minute drive away. Afritz am See is a small, quiet mountain village in the district of Villach and is located at an approximate height of 711 metres. Our guest house is by the European hotel classification Hotelstars Union/WKO Klagenfurt Austria classified with three stars ***.
We have six double rooms, 1 family room for 4 people (2 adults and 2 children) and 1 family room for 5 persons (2 adults and 3 children), a studio and a large apartment for a maximum of 4 people. Each accommodation has its own balcony and chairs.
We do not have a restaurant. However, you can eat a delicious pizza. On "Ruhetag" we do not make pizzas and the bar and the sauna are closed. Various restaurants nearby can be reached by car quickly and easily.
In consultation with us it is possible to rent the entire guest house for a group trip.
The location of our guest house is also an ideal starting point for a combination holiday. For example, first a week of being nice and active in the mountains and then driving on to Slovenia, Croatia and Italy for a delightfully relaxing time on the sea coast. On the way back you can break your journey by staying overnight with us.
Families, mountaineers and those seeking peace and quiet will feel at home here all year since you can go hiking, swimming, mountain biking, skiing, snowboarding and undertake all sorts of other mountain sports. The many excursions that can be made in the area offer both young and old a wonderful variety of nature, culture, sports, the opportunity to be active and/or laze around and relax.
Our pension has six double rooms, two family rooms (4-5 persons), a studio and a large apartment for a maximum of 4 persons. These are spread over the first and second floor.
Each room has a private balcony and a bathroom with shower and toilet.
You can relax here wonderfully after a day on the ski slopes or a brisk walking tour. We have a Finnish sauna, an infrared cabin, a massage shower and a steam shower.
Use of these facilities is free and is daily available from 18:00 until 21:30.
After taking lots of holidays in the mountains and regularly dreaming about having a private guest house, we bought in the summer of 2016 a small-scale hotel. With this a long-cherished dream has come true! We are continuing the hotel as a guest house with the name Pension Almhof. We opted for this name because our guest house is situated on a beautiful “alm” (seasonal mountain pasture).
As Dutch people, the superb nature, the Mediterranean climate and the cosiness appeals to us, makes us feel more than at home.
We look forward to welcoming you to Almhof soon!

Forget Skippy, these kangaroos really pack a punch. But don’t worry, with super sized gloves and padded costumes the only thing than can get hurt is your pride.
The object of the game is to knock or manoeuvre your opponent off of the mat – that is if you can keep upright yourself!

This feature-length film by Robin Bell skillfully mixes rare archival footage (including electrifying live performances from Fugazi, Bikini Kill, Rites of Spring, Nation of Ulysses, Anti-Flag, and more) with new interviews of Positive Force activists including co-founder Mark Andersen (co-author of Dance of Days) and Jenny Toomey (Simple Machines) as well as supporters such as Ian MacKaye, Jello Biafra, Dave Grohl, Ted Leo, Riot Grrrl co-founders Kathleen Hanna and Allison Wolfe, and many more.
Covering a span of 30 years, More Than A Witness documents the group’s origins, the creation of its communal house, FBI harassment, and the rise of a vibrant underground that burst into the mainstream amidst controversy over both the means and the ends of the movement. In the best punk fashion, Positive Force has applied creative DIY tactics and radical critiques to issues of homelessness, hunger, racism, corporate globalization, sexism, homophobia, war, gentrification, aging, and animal/ earth liberation, while struggling to constructively address conflicting dynamics and visions within the group itself.

The villa which is now our hotel was once home to my grandparents, Count and Countess Manfredi, who spent wonderful summers here in the company of friends, family and illustrious figures. More than just a holiday, it was a chance to refresh the body and mind surrounded by nature and warm affection. The same memories still inspire every marvellous season at Punta Tragara today.

Liverpool Network Theatre Group (formerly The Network) is a locally well-known non-professional company. LNTG was set up in 1984, nearly fifty years after the birth of its ‘grandparent’, the Merseyside Left Theatre Group (MLTG), to continue its work of encouraging participation, performance and new theatrical writing in Liverpool.
Network directly replaced MLTG’s successor, the Merseyside Unity Theatre group (MUT) as an itinerant acting company, upon the establishment of the Unity Theatre building in Hope Place.
The group was born out of the idea of theatre as a political force, with the power to change society for the better. This was epitomized by the dedication of our former chair, Graham Frood – a founder member of MLTG in the 1930s – who died, aged 88, in September 2003, within three months of giving his final Network performance.
Liverpool Network Theatre Group is committed to staging high quality productions, accessible to ordinary people. Our plays range from Shakespeare and other classical works to modern dramas and comedies, including new local writing on occasion. We intend the issues in our productions to be relevant today, whatever the style and origin of the play.
Typically, LNTG stages three or four public productions per year, in a variety of venues, including a summer show with performances in some of Liverpool’s parks and gardens. Open auditions are held for these. At the same time, many of our members contribute – both on and off stage – to other local professional, amateur and community theatre productions.
LNTG offers low-cost weekly workshops on a “drop-in” basis, open to any member of the public over 18 years of age, These workshops, led by members or guests and covering a variety of acting ideas and techniques, run independently of any productions or rehearsal schedules. However, the director of a forthcoming show is always asked to lead a relevant workshop ahead of the audition process.
It is the weekly, informal and varied workshop pattern which probably most distinguishes Network from other non-professional groups. An average workshop may be attended by 12-24 people, whose experience can range from fully-trained actors to first-time visitors. More often than not, complete newcomers, recent “regulars” and long-time members will take part in a workshop and socialise afterwards.
Formal membership of LNTG is only required of those who take part in our public productions. Our Facebook group currently has over 1,900 members and our email list for bulletins includes almost 400 people.

Golden Island Diesel Oil Trading Pte Ltd, a bunker supplier in Singapore, announced on Thursday that it would start supply of bunker fuel with sulfur content of 0.5% or less from March 1, which would meet the sulfur cap regulation leading by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) from 2020. The company would use its bunker barge named M.T Golden Jubilee (3,944 dwt).
Specifications of the fuel are reportedly said as density at 50 degrees at 232.40 cst, flash point at 66 degrees centigrade, pour point at 9 degrees centigrade, Aluminum + Silicon at 15mg/kg, and sulfur at 0.46%. Furthermore, Golden Island would also use Mass-flow-meter (MFM) for measuring supply volumes.
In Singapore, movements toward the sulfur cap regulation starting from 2020 are becoming active such as many Japanese shipping companies made moves to use the fuel on a trial basis from February.

Facebook is rolling out new options that will allow you to choose a person to maintain your account after your die. The feature will initially be available in the US, with other countries to follow later.
Until now, the world's largest social network froze profile pages of those it learned had died in order to ensure the privacy and security of family and friends. With this change the person you designate as 'legacy contact', as Facebook is calling them, will be able to manage parts of your account after you're gone.
Legacy contacts will have limited permissions; they'll be allowed to write a post, change your profile picture, respond to new friend requests, and download an archive of your posts and photos. This means that they cannot download the contents of your private messages, edit what you or your Facebook friends have already posted, as well as delete a photo or the entire account.
There are some other points worth noting, too. You can only select one person as your legacy contact, and that person has to be your Facebook friend. A legacy contact is not authorized to pass along the responsibility to someone else. If you fail to choose a legacy contact but name a digital heir in a legal will, they'll be allowed to manage your account. Last;y, of course, you can always choose to have your account deleted post death.
To choose your legacy contact, head to Settings -> Security and the select the Legacy Contact option present at the bottom of the page. The new feature is only available to users in the United States at launch.

as opposed to software instrument?
is that you on vox as well?
The first bass is software, but the second bass in the dub by section is a proper guitar. Not my vocals though - taken from a reggae vocal sample pack!!
Very nice listening, great mixed as well.
I think that's probably the best way to listen. There's a nice broad soundscape to this. And the vocal is terrific. I don't know how you get Soma to play your stuff, but this fits right in.

Italy has two eras in Eurovision: Before and after Marco Mengoni. Before Marco there were royal highnesses such as Toto Cotugno, Alice & Battiato and Gigliola Cinquetti, after there has been Il Volo. All showing us what a great nation Italy is and always has been. With few exceptions.
Is Francesca Michielin joining that exclusive club of virtuosos? At first we couldn’t seem to make our mind up. The entry itself is pretty decent. It is soft, yet powerful, modern, yet classic. As emotional and precise as you would expect from the nation of Verdi, Totti and Ramazotti and as intriguing as a bowl of hot pasta on a cold winter’s day.
However, we keep asking if the fragile girl in a jumpsuit and this song is a match made in spaghetti heaven. The melody demands a strong, powerful performance, and Francesca almost whispers sometimes. But maybe that’s what makes it interesting too. There is certainly a nerve here that we do want to explore further in the live performances.
Sometimes we also wonder why the Italians insist so much on ballads. They excel at them, of course. Especially when they are served with the Italian language, which, heaven’s forbid, we almost lost this year (seriously, WHO thought it was a good idea to scrap the language all the opera singers of this world work their asses off to learn because it just sounds better?). But you only need a quick browse through Sanremo to understand that these people know other stuff.
Why do we never encounter some of their fabulous rap, like Rocco Hunt from this year’s Sanremo final? And don’t they know that one of Marco Mengoni’s more upbeat songs would have been an instant, invincible winner? Italy should consider that for next year, but for now, we’ll settle happily for Francesca while we’re waiting for Marco to return. After all, she knocked out this year’s winner of Sanremo, a boring band from 1977, who probably didn’t have the health to travel all the way to Stockholm.
With that settled, all we need is a serious talk about appearance and Snapchat. We have never felt more like drowning in a pink sea of teddy bears and unicorns and rainbows and Snapchat filters than after we started following this woman, even though we’ve followed teenage relatives for years. May we remind Italy that the manic pixie dream girl went out of fashion a few years ago, when even Zooey Deschanel started dressing like a grown up? Two solutions there. Either the Italian delegations send Francesca on a high intensity mentor program with Amir, or they remove all of Francesca’s rights to Snapchat for the next few weeks. We know it sounds harsh (apart from that Amir thing), but it could be worth it.
And who doesn’t want to go to Rome next year?
Yes, Stadio were unfit for Eurovision; and yes il Volo and Mengoni will be our best entries for a very long time. And no, you won’t fly to Rome for the final next year.
Finally, no Rocco Hunt no. Thanks but no, thanks.
As long as Italy continues to send one fabulous entry after the other we will end up in Rome/Sanremo/? anytime soon! But yeah, doubtfully next year already.

The bright light of Sunday morning shone on a new day in St. Louis. The heat and humidity have been persistent, but experienced mostly through the short walks back and forth between the America’s Dome Convention Center and the various hotels (in my case, it is right across the street). So, unless you took advantage of one of the tours, one’s exposure to the city of St. Louis was very limited.
Yet, on Sunday morning, as has been the practice for the past few General Assemblies, commissioners, delegates, staff and observers join together with the congregations of the greater St. Louis area in their normal weekly Sunday worship service. While no doubt, the pews were a little more full, the singing a little more boisterous and the preaching a little more prepared, we were able to experience a little bit of the worship and mission of these congregations.
For myself, I had chosen to attend the Third Presbyterian Church of St. Louis. Within this traditional African-American congregation, all of the GA guests were welcomed warmly as we were led in worship by their enthusiastic and talented music ministry (the same group who had sung at the opening reception). Challenging the congregation gathered from both the local neighborhoods and visitors from across the country, he proclaimed the Word of our grace-fueled neighborliness based upon the parable of the “Good Samaritan” in the Gospel of Luke.
Of course, we were treated to gracious hospitality afterward where we were privileged to join in fellowship and to hear more about the ministries of this congregation. This type of sharing together in worship reminds me so much of the unity that we have in Jesus Christ regardless of our differences in where we live, our worship practices, our cultural customs or our societal standing. If you have time, I would encourage you to read, see and hear about what God is doing at this congregation in which we were privileged to participate (thirdchurchstl.com). When commissioners returned to the plenary, there were opportunities to hear from each other about their various worship experiences that morning.
Earlier in the morning, I had participated in the breakfast for Mid-Council leaders sponsored by the Presbyterian Foundation. As one of the six agencies of the denomination, the Foundation continues its work of assisting individuals and congregations in investing funds in order to create a legacy of ministry over the years. Having personally witnessed the impact of funds invested with the Foundation, they serve as a valuable resource for ministry within our denomination. At this breakfast, we were treated to hear the singer-songwriter, Fernando Ortega. His music provided a great opportunity to begin this Sunday of worship after the long day of labor on Saturday.
In mid-afternoon, the General Assembly returned to its work under the leadership of the new co-moderators, Vilmarie Cintron- and Rev. Cindy Kohlmann. Often, Sunday afternoon sessions appear to be less than important after the climactic moments of electing moderators and before the committees “roll up their sleeves” and get to work. Yet, I find Sunday afternoon to be significant as we take time to commission new mission co-workers, hear important reports on the work of God throughout the world.
On this Sunday afternoon, we heard from the Stated Clerk based upon the Matthew 6 theme and asking the question, “why did God bring us here for such a time as this?” The call to reform at every level results in transformation not just as an institution, but as a movement of Jesus Christ based upon collective faithfulness. His challenge was to focus not on success, but on significance.
The 2020 Vision Team offered an Interim report from their work and presented a draft of the guidance statement. They encouraged members of the Assembly to reach out to them, to communicate, to listen and to comment not merely upon the statement, but the “call” that it represents to all of us (Prayerful, Courageous, United, Serving, Alive). Thanks be to God.
A combined report from the Way Forward Commission and the All Agency Review Committee was offered based upon their charge to find a “way forward” for the structure and function of the General Assembly committees and to review and evaluate the various agencies in the denomination in fulfillment of the mission and directives. While they each issued separate written reports, they also offered some share recommendations. You may have hear that there is significant thinking (and disagreement) going into the ways that we structure some of the mission and financial operations of the legal corporation of the denomination. Some of these recommendations will be “tackled” by the Way Forward Committee as we move through the week. Regardless of the particulars of the conclusions, the expressed intention of greater collaboration and more nimble administration are desirable goals. Both reports are readily available @ www.pc-biz.org.
With the commissioning of new Young Adult Volunteers and Mission co-workers, we highlight the celebration of our ongoing commitment as a church to mission. New YAV’s and Mission co-workers were commissioned and they join the many others (128 mission co-workers in 70 countries) who actively serve the Lord and our church in this way.(128 in 70 countries). As an Assembly and as a denomination, we commit to support and encourage them that they might be the witness to Christ’s reign of peace, justice and love.
By Sunday afternoon, any “new business” must be submitted for consideration. Often, this comes in the form of commissioner resolutions. In this General Assembly, Rev. Sue Washburn has offered a commissioner resolution further challenging the Assembly in addressing the need for ministry in and with those affected by the opioid addiction epidemic. This resolution will be referred to one of the committees where it will be considered on its own or consolidated with other business already before the committee that they would consider to have overlap.
As the day moves into the evening, all of the commissioners begin to gather in their committees for opening sessions that are open only to the committee members and leaders. During this time of preparation for their work, they begin to get to know each other, establish processes by which they will work with each other intensely over the next few days and consider the areas that will be addressed through overtures and their advocates. As for the rest of us (staff), we usually either try to “catch up” on other work or find something fun to do in the city because on Monday, the activity and engagement in real concerns will begin in earnest.

text: The Philips hue tap is a really useful device that lets you assign a preset to one of four physical buttons. If Lightbow detects a hue tap associated with your bridge, it will show up in the Triggers tab. Select which of the four buttons you want to program, and chose a preset to assign to that button. One thing to keep in mind is that Philips "scenes" are just static colors, so for any Lightbow presets that have animations, all you will see is the first color in the loop.

In support of UV (Ultraviolet) Protection Month in July, and how this particular awareness falls smack in the middle of the summer season, it is extremely important to go over the details of why it is so important to protect your eyes and offer solutions to protecting them from future implications.
First and for most, one must note that while the eyelid decreases the amount of ultraviolet radiation infiltrating the eye, this delicate tissue on its own cannot effectively protect the cornea in its entirety. That’s why sunglasses with UVA/UVB protection and other protective caring is critical to saving one’s eyes when it comes to ultraviolet rays.
Strong sunlight without proper protection can cause serious short-term, and long-term damage to the eyes, so it is important to know the effects of such implications.
If one’s eyes are exposed to a high-UV sunlight for a period of time without protection, it is possible for the sun’s rays to burn the cornea and generate temporary blindness within a few hours (source). Furthermore, even though short-term effects of this type of damage may disappear, “the cumulative UV exposure can yellow both the lens and the cornea, making it more difficult to see contrast” (source). There are three typical problems that can arise due to unprotected sun exposure to the eyes: Photokeratitis, Pterygium, and Pinguecula.
Photokeratitis is sunburn of the cornea, and though this condition is only temporary, the pain can be substantial. The condition is also known as “snow blindness,” because 80% of sun-rays can reflect off snow and harm the eyes (source).
growth on the surface of the eye, most often originating in thecorner near the nose.” Pterygium can be formed through excessive exposure to sun, wind, or sand and some symptoms typically include irritation, swelling, and itchiness, and can cause “corneal problems that can affect vision” (source).
part of the eye close to the edge of the cornea” (source). Pinguecula is caused from UV radiation but can also be caused from exposure to dust and wind.
On the other hand, unprotected ultraviolet radiation one can accumulate over his or her lifetime can contribute to serious eye disorders. This cumulative damage may not appear right away, but there are factors to stop them from occurring. The complications of prolonged exposure to the sun has been linked to conditions including cataracts, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and cancer of the eye, eyelid and surrounding skin.
of age and older. People who suffer from cataracts and decide not to treat this conditioncan cause irreversible blindness (source). “The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that up to 20% of all cataract cases are attributable to UV radiation and are preventable (source).
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can cause vision loss the elderly and the leading leading source of blindness in adults 60 and older (source). “The macula is the part of the retina that enables the sharp, central vision needed for reading or driving. Higher UV exposure at an earlier age, especially for people who have long worked outdoors, has been significantly associated with early AMD (source). Vision loss from this disease cannot be reversed.
Cancer of the eyeball itself is quite rare, but skin cancers around the eye are quite common.”According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, one-tenth of all skin cancers are found on the eyelid. Melanoma is the most frequent malignancy of the eye and often requires surgical removal. Exposure to UV radiation, especially UVB, is the most common cause for eyelid tumors” (source).
Wear the right sunglasses – Keep your eye out for those labeled “UV400” or “100 percent UV protection”when purchasing sunglasses – these are the type to buy. All sunglasses DO NOT block 100 percent of UV rays and darkness and color do not indicate the strength of UV protection (source).
Wear sunglasses even when it is overcast – UV rays can go through clouds, so make sure to wear eye protection even on overcast days.
Wear sunglasses in shade – Even though the exposure of direct UV exposure is lower, eyes are still exposed to the UV rays that reflect off of surfaces including buildings and roadways.
Don’t stare at the sun – Staring into the sun can burn holes in the retina, “the light-sensitive layer of cells in the back of the eye needed for central vision. This condition is called solar retinopathy. While rare, the damage is irreversible” (source).
Head coverings that enclose your face – Considering wearing a hat, whether it’s a baseball cap or a wide-brimmed hat.
Drive with UV eye protection – “Recent research found that side windows blocked only 71 percent of rays, compared to 96 percent in the windshield. Only 14 percent of side windows provided a high enough level of protection, the researchers found” (source).

in support of uv (ultraviolet) protection month in july, and how this particular awareness falls smack in the middle of the summer season, it is extremely important to go over the details of why it is so important to protect your eyes and offer solutions to protecting them from future implications.
first and for most, one must note that while the eyelid decreases the amount of ultraviolet radiation infiltrating the eye, this delicate tissue on its own cannot effectively protect the cornea in its entirety. that’s why sunglasses with uva/uvb protection and other protective caring is critical to saving one’s eyes when it comes to ultraviolet rays.
strong sunlight without proper protection can cause serious short-term, and long-term damage to the eyes, so it is important to know the effects of such implications.
if one’s eyes are exposed to a high-uv sunlight for a period of time without protection, it is possible for the sun’s rays to burn the cornea and generate temporary blindness within a few hours (source). furthermore, even though short-term effects of this type of damage may disappear, “the cumulative uv exposure can yellow both the lens and the cornea, making it more difficult to see contrast” (source). there are three typical problems that can arise due to unprotected sun exposure to the eyes: photokeratitis, pterygium, and pinguecula.
photokeratitis is sunburn of the cornea, and though this condition is only temporary, the pain can be substantial. the condition is also known as “snow blindness,” because 80% of sun-rays can reflect off snow and harm the eyes (source).
growth on the surface of the eye, most often originating in thecorner near the nose.” pterygium can be formed through excessive exposure to sun, wind, or sand and some symptoms typically include irritation, swelling, and itchiness, and can cause “corneal problems that can affect vision” (source).
part of the eye close to the edge of the cornea” (source). pinguecula is caused from uv radiation but can also be caused from exposure to dust and wind.
on the other hand, unprotected ultraviolet radiation one can accumulate over his or her lifetime can contribute to serious eye disorders. this cumulative damage may not appear right away, but there are factors to stop them from occurring. the complications of prolonged exposure to the sun has been linked to conditions including cataracts, age-related macular degeneration (amd), and cancer of the eye, eyelid and surrounding skin.
of age and older. people who suffer from cataracts and decide not to treat this conditioncan cause irreversible blindness (source). “the world health organization (who) estimates that up to 20% of all cataract cases are attributable to uv radiation and are preventable (source).
age-related macular degeneration (amd) can cause vision loss the elderly and the leading leading source of blindness in adults 60 and older (source). “the macula is the part of the retina that enables the sharp, central vision needed for reading or driving. higher uv exposure at an earlier age, especially for people who have long worked outdoors, has been significantly associated with early amd (source). vision loss from this disease cannot be reversed.
cancer of the eyeball itself is quite rare, but skin cancers around the eye are quite common.”according to the skin cancer foundation, one-tenth of all skin cancers are found on the eyelid. melanoma is the most frequent malignancy of the eye and often requires surgical removal. exposure to uv radiation, especially uvb, is the most common cause for eyelid tumors” (source).
wear the right sunglasses – keep your eye out for those labeled “uv400” or “100 percent uv protection”when purchasing sunglasses – these are the type to buy. all sunglasses do not block 100 percent of uv rays and darkness and color do not indicate the strength of uv protection (source).
wear sunglasses even when it is overcast – uv rays can go through clouds, so make sure to wear eye protection even on overcast days.
wear sunglasses in shade – even though the exposure of direct uv exposure is lower, eyes are still exposed to the uv rays that reflect off of surfaces including buildings and roadways.

The script/mysql.server script (Meant for init.d) allows you to start more than one server instance on the same pid/sock file, causing a disruption in service if '/etc/init.d/mysql start' is called twice.
Compile and install from scratch.
Perform necessary install procedures, including moving scripts/mysql.server to /etc/init.d/mysql and chmod +x it.
From Ubuntu 10.4 - patched, bare system.
If you leave the two running for a while (~1-5 minutes, I didn't time it) - the second instance will exit, and the first will remain active, but still not accepting connections. The error log is full of errors due to a second process utilizing the same resources, as obvious at this point.
It seems likely that the 'scripts/mysql.server' script isn't checking the target pid file before firing off a new instance.
echo "MySQL is already running"
The same happens for the mysqld_multi script.
I can second that this has been fixed in 5.5.26 as well. I would say this should be closed - I would close it but I'm uncertain of the etiquette .

Arachnophobes will be happy to know the spiders weren’t evident, only their webs.
We spent the Queen’s Birthday June long weekend at Taylors Arm, industrious by day, tidying, gardening and maintaining our home. We spent the evenings by the wood fire.
The morning sun was warm and illuminated the creations of the industrious nocturnal crafters in their Gardenia tree home adjacent to our front verandah.

The guards group near the campfire. None of them wants to leave the warm flames, yet someone has to go to make the patrol along the border. Of course, in this situation, the youngest of them is the one that must do the duty. He picks up a torch and leaves the others behind.
He has no idea what this could mean, but he is determined to not go back to the elders without a theory: who could have left these marks and what are they saying?
What are the four categories hidden in these words and who is the guard?
cross (cross spiders apparently exist).
This leads me to clans in Legend of the Five Rings. The wall in question would be the Kaiu Kabe, making the guard a member of the Crab Clan.

text: Using the Children of the Immigrants Longitudinal Study (CILS), we examine the association between education at the intensive margin and twenty pecuniary and non-pecuniary adult outcomes among first- and second-generation American immigrant youth. Education at the intensive margin is measured by two widely used standardized math and reading test scores, national percentile rankings on these tests and cumulative grade point average (GPA) in both middle and high school. Our findings provide evidence that the academic achievement of immigrant children in early adolescence is an accurate predictor of later life outcomes. We also examine a novel hypothesis that relative academic performance of immigrant children in high school compared to middle school, which could be an indicator of change in adolescent aspirations and motivation as well as the degree of adaptation and assimilation to the host country, has an effect on their adult outcomes even after controlling for the levels of academic performance in middle and high school. The results suggest that an improvement in GPA from middle school to high school is associated with favorable adult outcomes. Several sensitivity tests confirm the robustness of main findings.

There are several aspects of the cars design and construction that are fairly advanced.
The cryogenically manufactured torion bars that counterbalance the doors were developed and manufactured by Grumman Aerospace. Their function is taken for granted by DeLorean owners but the design and function is very elegant.
Previous gullwing cars struggled with counterbalancing the gullwing doors. The Mercedes sports coupe tackled the problem by making the doors very light. For structural reasons, the door sills on the Mercedes therefore had to be very substantial and the sills are quite high. The Bricklin approached the problem by using pneumatically operated struts that would raise the doors using compressed air stored in its rear bumper. The doors would get pumped up at the press of a button. This approach was often slow and cumbersome. The DeLorean torsion bar counterbalances the door by storing torsional energy (in a way similar to how a spring stores energy when compressed). The cryogenic manufacturing process was necessary in order to strengthed the torsion bar for repeated operation without the bar fatiguing or breaking. In a process that I do not understand well, the crystalline structure of the material was modified in the process so that the "grain" in the material would run through the bar in an optimal way. If you examine a DeLorean torion bar you will see that it is twisted along its axis several times over its short distance. I have never heard of a torsion bar breaking under normal use, although I have heard of people over doing the pre-tension in the bar and twisting the roofs of their cars.

Eaves Protection Systems, C400 (1.5m) can be used for roofline refurbishment projects to replace rotted gutter felt or in new build applications. It reduces long term eaves maintenance problems by directing water away from the underlay into the gutter, whilst also supporting the underlay which prevents ‘ponding’ behind the fascia board.
C401 (1m) provides additional venitlation to the roof space, whereas C402 (1m) provides both ventilation to the roof space whilst also protection in the form of a bird comb to stop unwanted animals getting under the roof tiles.
