Benefitting from many years of R&D development, the Float X2 Performance Rear Shock has been refined to hit the performance sweet spot.
The ideal choice for the ultimate enduro or downhill bike, this rear shock has a more linear damping profile than previous models and offers super smooth performance. The reason for this is that Fox has included improved seals and improved the oil flow. The Float X2 Performance also offers a wide range of adjustments to help you dial your ride to perfectly suit the trail conditions and your riding style.
RVS (Rod Valve System): The Rod Valve System (RVS) provides a more seamless damping transition when absorbing small to large impacts, resulting in faster system response, more control, and less harshness.
Patented Air Transfer Port System: Fox Suspension's EVOL linear spring curve gives forks and shocks plushness off the top, extra mid-stroke support and more tunable bottom-out progression. This allows riders to tap into the ideal pairing of front and rear-end feel.
EVOL Air Sleeve: The lightweight one-piece EVOL air sleeve was designed for each shock size (imperial, trunnion and metric) to balance internal forces, and has maximized bushing overlap to reduce friction during “real world” forces like side-loading and twisting.

SMEs are an important resource in Sweden for the realisation of new technology and innovations. Despite the significant niche skills of many SMEs that have the potential to develop at the forefront of their sectors, these companies are presently relatively uninvolved in development. This is due to a number of factors: poor knowledge of business opportunities and support structures, the requirement that they also invest, and low economic resilience. The knowledge of different aspects of collaboration that are in demand must therefore be improved and contact with the large aeronautics industries must be established.
SMEs need to take a stronger position within the Swedish aeronautics sector because the development of highly specialised SMEs creates a network of suppliers which in turn leads to increased competition for companies in the aeronautics sector. This ability to use and utilise the knowledge and skills developed and used by others is an increasingly important competitive factor for large companies. SMEs therefore must have the opportunity to participate on their own terms and at a level that the company can handle.
a good understanding of the product and quality standards stipulated by the large companies.
These advantages and abilities can be used by SMEs to create business and to help them grow as they become suppliers to both Swedish and foreign companies, either in the aeronautics sector or in other technology areas. Therefore, both large companies and SMEs must secure their places as partners and subcontractors in future international collaboration programmes. In order to achieve this, specialised SMEs must have a clear support structure and good opportunities to develop and verify their technologies.

News Yahoo to Microsoft: "Buy us"
Discussion in 'Article Discussion' started by CardJoe, 7 Nov 2008.
I'd almost like to say they should have taken the money while it was good, but then I remember that Microsoft already has their feet firmly entrenched in enough businesses, we don't need them gaining *more* power.
Yahoo made a huge mistake back in May which is going to cost them and their shareholders dearly. I kind of feel bad, but there was no reason for them to refuse that deal (other than greed) and now they are paying for it.
What a Suave Move Guys! It's kinda like that whole "Wait three days until you call the girl you met at the club." thing.
new yahoo screwed up last lol now they wont even rank in as much. Well its bound to happen sooner or later.
Too bad, I don't like it at all. And by "it" I mean Microsoft gaining more power.
Never liked the Yahoo website anyway but can anyone say missed opportunity?

Total sales of CDs with just one song by the Japanese all-girl pop group AKB48 have reached 36,158,000 copies, the most ever by a recording artist or group in Japan, music information provider Oricon Inc. said Wednesday.
The feat, bucking the trend of sluggish CD sales as more listeners prefer digital downloading, was announced the day after the group celebrated its 10th anniversary with a special concert at its home theater in Tokyo’s Akihabara electronics district.
AKB48’s latest single, titled “Kuchibiru ni Be My Baby,” started arriving at CD stores on Tuesday and sold 810,000 copies that day, adding to the massive sales of the band’s preceding 41 singles.
The overnight success of the 42nd single also produced another milestone: combined sales of single CDs written by Yasushi Akimoto surpassed 100 million copies, another first in Japan.
The previous record for total single CD sales by the same artist was held by the Japanese rock group B’z, who sold a combined 35,809,000 copies.

Everyone needs alone time. Men, women, children — you name it.
But according to a recent survey, men do not get enough of it.
‘Nagging’ partners, avoiding children and/or chores, or getting the chance to look at their mobile phones undisturbed were the main reasons men hid away for a total of seven hours a year, according to researchers.
The poll consisted of 1,000 men who most likely took the poll silently locked away in a nearby bathroom.
Researchers discovered men didn’t even use the bathroom to go relieve themselves.
They used the bathrooms as their cones of silence, devoid of any disturbances be it, man, woman or child.
Bathroom experts Pebble Grey revealed in additional research that one in 10 visits to the bathroom are interrupted on average.
If you do the math, that is 171 times during the course of the year.
And bathroom time is sacred time.
“We all need a little bit of time to ourselves – to take stock or switch off completely.” a spokesman said.
It is found in the research that disturbances include these interactions from either the men’s partners or from the children. And 45 percent said getting time, if any, to themselves is an uphill battle. A quarter claimed their partner does not appreciate just how busy their life actually is.
Okay, things start to get a little sad just a heads up.
Okay, friendly mental health PSA here….
If your “you” time is the seven hours a year in the bathroom, we have some major problems.
This sounds like a boundary-setting/avoidance issue and while there are certain responsibilities men must uphold for their partners and children (if they have any) — to be a good caretaker, you first must, must, must take care of yourself.
Be it a weekend trip in the Rockies, a planned golf outing or drinks with the boys, if you can’t have an honest discussion with your partner (or are brave enough to bring it up) about getting some alone time in your life — then maybe you are with the wrong partner.
The truth hurts but hey, do you really want to spend hours in a safe place where smells go to die? I didn’t think so.

I have had an account with Coral which I self excluded from in 2015 to prevent any more losses. Over the weekend I was unsure if I had self excluded from Coral and signed up again. This was using a different card as the old one expired and a different email and probably a different address due to moving. Same name and DOB. I was allowed to deposit numerous times without them verifying my ID. Do I have a case for getting my deposits refunded as I shouldn't have been allowed to open an account due to the prior self exclusion?
Nice try there Valencia (wink wink)..seems you took a free shot at Coral here and there is no way you will see this deposit again. Scammers like you are not what books need. When you were allowed to deposit ...ever think about contacting them and reminding them you want to be Self EX??
Poor attempt at trying to take a shot.
(a) The Coral Group shall have no responsibility or liability to You or any third party and is therefore under no obligation to return any deposits, winnings, or other funds in respect of such activity online;"
You can still try to submit the claim to their Governing law and Jurisdiction which is under the laws of England as stated in the T&C.
I hope you are having a great day. My apologies if it took some time to respond to your email. I completely understand that you are concerned about the email you are always receiving. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
we are not accountable for your loses.
This is the reply I received. I have asked for it to be taken to senior manager before I file a complaint. Any advice?
You say that you were unsure whether you had self-excluded from Coral, so why on earth didn't you check with them before opening a new account? You won't get your money back, nor should you.
Valencia give up pal. You are another one who knew what u were doing. You have no chance here. Best of luck. Try ripping another book off.

Washington State University and a Seattle-based biotech firm are suing each other over the right to grow and sell the highly anticipated Cosmic Crisp apple variety, which is expected to appear on store shelves early next year.
The legal dispute will determine whether Phytelligence – a company founded by a WSU professor that is partly owned by the university – can use its “cutting-edge science” to grow Cosmic Crisp buds and sell them to commercial apple producers.
But with millions of trees already planted across the state, the outcome of the dueling lawsuits seems unlikely to affect consumer availability of the Cosmic Crisp, a flavor-packed hybrid of the Honeycrisp and Enterprise varieties.
Brandt said the Cosmic Crisp has the potential to displace other popular varieties in Washington’s $2.4 billion apple industry, which accounts for roughly 70 percent of U.S. production. And he said no other variety has been introduced to the market so rapidly. Producers typically plant new apples a little at a time to test consumer demand, but the Cosmic Crisp, which is said to have excellent sweetness and a remarkable shelf life, promises to be a hit.
WSU researcher Bruce Barritt began developing the Cosmic Crisp about two decades ago. Until 2012, the year he filed for a patent, the tree was known only as WA 38.
WSU professor Amit Dhingra founded Phytelligence in 2011 to commercialize a method of growing trees from tissue cultures rather than soil, which enables them to reach maturity and bear fruit in less time. Dhingra remains a WSU professor and the company’s chief science officer.
In 2012, Phytelligence entered into a “propagation agreement” with the university that allowed the company to cultivate WA 38 plants for research purposes. The agreement did not grant Phytelligence rights to the trademarked name Cosmic Crisp, but it did include an “option to participate as a provider and/or seller” once the apple went to market.
In February, Phytelligence filed suit in King County Superior Court, claiming the university had violated the agreement by refusing to issue a commercial license.
WSU responded last month, claiming Phytelligence had not met clear requirements for obtaining a license and alleging the company had illegally sold 135,000 Cosmic Crisp trees to a grower near Yakima. The university also filed a patent-infringement claim in federal court.
Phil Weiler, WSU’s vice president for marketing and communications, said the university must protect the “significant financial investment” it has made to develop the Cosmic Crisp by ensuring that no one grows the apple without proper licensing and quality-control measures in place.
“The investments made by growers over the past two decades is at risk as well,” Weiler said.
WSU claims it terminated its agreement with Phytelligence after the company handed over sales orders and invoices showing it sold 135,000 Cosmic Crisp trees to Evans Fruit Co. in April 2016. The university also demanded that Phytelligence destroy any Cosmic Crisp plant materials in its possession.
Phytelligence has refused to do so.
“We are not going to destroy the material because we feel it’s within our rights to get the license,” said Ken Hunt, the company’s CEO.
“We don’t own land, so we used ground over at Evans, in large part because we thought we’d be using some of those buds to service their order,” he said.
But he insisted the move did not violate Phytelligence’s agreement with WSU or the university’s patent.
Hunt said Phytelligence has refunded payments to Evans Fruit, and the Cosmic Crisp budwood is back in Phytelligence’s possession.
As for the company’s efforts to obtain a license, Hunt said WSU required Phytelligence to become a member of the Northwest Nursery Improvement Institute, a nonprofit association of tree fruit nurseries, but the university would not provide clear requirements for doing so. NNII has the authority to license its members to grow the Cosmic Crisp.
Hunt suggested Phytelligence faced pushback because the company’s scientific approach can generate apples more quickly than the traditional nurseries, but Weiler, the WSU spokesman, said he was not aware of such competitive concerns. Weiler said several other companies managed to obtain commercial licenses without a problem.
“For whatever reason, (Phytelligence) chose not to follow the path that was laid out in the agreement,” he said.
This is not the first time a WSU-bred apple has been the subject of litigation. The university also went to court with a Yakima fruit company that had been selling the WA 2 variety under the brand name Crimson Delight. The apple was recently rebranded as Sunrise Magic.
In any case, Weiler said, apple lovers should brace themselves for the Cosmic Crisp. Not only is it sweet and tangy, it can retain its flavor and texture for up to a year in storage, and it’s slow to brown after being sliced, he said.

wsu claims it terminated its agreement with phytelligence after the company handed over sales orders and invoices showing it sold 135,000 cosmic crisp trees to evans fruit co. in april 2016. the university also demanded that phytelligence destroy any cosmic crisp plant materials in its possession.
phytelligence has refused to do so.
“we are not going to destroy the material because we feel it’s within our rights to get the license,” said ken hunt, the company’s ceo.
“we don’t own land, so we used ground over at evans, in large part because we thought we’d be using some of those buds to service their order,” he said.
but he insisted the move did not violate phytelligence’s agreement with wsu or the university’s patent.
hunt said phytelligence has refunded payments to evans fruit, and the cosmic crisp budwood is back in phytelligence’s possession.
as for the company’s efforts to obtain a license, hunt said wsu required phytelligence to become a member of the northwest nursery improvement institute, a nonprofit association of tree fruit nurseries, but the university would not provide clear requirements for doing so. nnii has the authority to license its members to grow the cosmic crisp.
hunt suggested phytelligence faced pushback because the company’s scientific approach can generate apples more quickly than the traditional nurseries, but weiler, the wsu spokesman, said he was not aware of such competitive concerns. weiler said several other companies managed to obtain commercial licenses without a problem.
“for whatever reason, (phytelligence) chose not to follow the path that was laid out in the agreement,” he said.
this is not the first time a wsu-bred apple has been the subject of litigation. the university also went to court with a yakima fruit company that had been selling the wa 2 variety under the brand name crimson delight. the apple was recently rebranded as sunrise magic.
in any case, weiler said, apple lovers should brace themselves for the cosmic crisp. not only is it sweet and tangy, it can retain its flavor and texture for up to a year in storage, and it’s slow to brown after being sliced, he said.

Mackley & Studdert has been the name of the opticians in the village as long as most of us can remember. Neil Mackley took over from an ailing Mr Studdert in 1979 but kept the name and expanded his premises, from upstairs in the Westminster Bank building to the ground floor corner of Main Street and Brewery Lane. Neil has gazed into the eyes of many Ponteland residents but he decided it was time to go into semi-retirement and he has sold the business to another optician in the village, Geoff Steven of Merton Way. He will however continue to work part-time, three days a week, for Steven who has moved into the Main Street premises.
At the age of 62 years Neil says he will find more time for Rotary activities, practice his bowling and go off travelling with his wife Mary. She has been very helpful at looking after the upkeep of the premises and making sure everything was in working order. We wish them both well.

Lama Zopa Rinpoche blessing marine animals in the Marina Cala de’ Medici, Italy, October 2017. Photo by Piero Sirianni.
On October 8, 2017, Lama Zopa Rinpoche blessed marine wildlife at the Marina Cala de’ Medici on the Ligurian Sea in Italy.
Joining Rinpoche aboard MV Brigitte Bardot, a trimaran belonging to the conservation organization Sea Shepherd, were the crew and a number of animal welfare workers, including Angelo Vaira, the well-known Italian founder of ThinkDog, a positive training dog school. Also participating were members of the Lega Italiana Protezione Uccell (LIPU), the Italian League for Bird Protection. Given Rinpoche’s dedication to caring for animals, there was a natural connection between all involved.

Hundreds of people attended the event, which saw the release of seagulls from a LIPU rescue center and Lama Zopa Rinpoche blessing all the sea animals and birds with prayers and mantras. Rinpoche also blessed the pets that students had brought to the marina.
On the dock, Ven. Drachom, who has liberated millions of sentient being in Singapore, helped arrange a table with a stupa, texts, and other holy objects for blessings. There, Rinpoche shared advice on how to bless animals and the benefits of mantras.
While on the boat, Rinpoche explained the blessings that he was doing, which included blessing a large jug of water that was then poured into the sea. At Rinpoche’s request, protections, such as the Namgyälma mantra, were attached to the boat.
Many visitors used this opportunity to board the boat, which set a world record in 1998 as the fastest motored vessel to circumnavigate the globe. The vessel bears the name of French actress and model Brigitte Bardot, who became a well-known animal rights activist and whom Sea Shepherd founder Captain Paul Watson took on an anti-sealing trip in 1977. The vessel was used in 2010 to campaign against Japanese whaling operations in the Antarctic Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.
The event at the marina was organized by Istituto Lama Tzong Khapa, the FPMT center in Pomaia, Italy, where Rinpoche is currently guiding a month-long retreat.

As one of the world’s leading maritime hubs, the UAE has gained added status by being appointed as the first Middle East member of the 40-member IMO Council.
While the UAE’s maritime activities are primarily focused on commercial shipping, ship repairing and cruising, yachts and superyachts are a key and growing part of the marine industry mix in the country. Reflecting the superyacht market, it has been announced that the second edition of the Dubai International Superyacht Summit will be held from February 27-28, 2019.
A key element of the UAE’s growing maritime significance was the formation in 2007 of the Dubai Maritime City Authority (DMCA). The DMCA was established to regulate, coordinate and supervise all aspects of the maritime sector in that emirate, and this brought both greater responsibility and opportunity.
Now at a time of growing regional competition, the DMCA is focusing its efforts on streamlining processes to make Dubai an investment-friendly and attractive environment for maritime companies from all over the world and the number one choice for companies looking to base themselves in the region.
Earlier in 2018, DMCA rolled out a new digital payment and services portal, which it hopes will enable it to process transactions and queries more speedily and efficiently, and reduce the number of visits to its customer service centres by 80% by the end of the year. The gateway allows users to track application statuses, verify crew and craft licence validity, as well as deal with penalty objections and payments, among other services.
DMCA’s other main role is building and supporting a vibrant maritime community in Dubai. According to DMCA, Dubai currently hosts more than 5,500 maritime companies and 13,000 maritime activities, which in turn support more than 76,000 jobs. The authority regularly hosts workshops and training programmes and collaborative meetings between the private sector and key government bodies involved in the maritime industry.
As part of initiatives to increase knowledge-sharing and innovation in the sector, over the past year it has launched the Dubai Maritime Virtual Cluster, the Maritime Innovation Lab and Innovation Quay.
“We have launched initiatives designed to improve the local maritime infrastructure, enacted new key regulations, adopted the best international practices, and forged important local, regional, and global partnerships,” says Bin Sulayem.
In terms of the yacht market Dubai, as just one of the seven UAE emirates, is expanding at a fast rate. Currently there are well over 2,500 new marina berths planned or under construction and the Dubai Canal, opened earlier this year, is a new leisure destination for which yachts can be used as a means of transport between marinas close to shopping malls or restaurants.

It’s nearly a decade since Google released its ‘Big Table’ paper. One of the many cool aspects of that paper was the file organisation it uses. The approach is more generally known as the Log Structured Merge Tree, after this 1996 paper (although not specifically referenced as such by Google).
In a nutshell LSM trees are designed to provide better write throughput than traditional B+ tree or ISAM approaches. They do this by removing the need to perform random update-in-place operations.
The figures in this ACM report here/here make the point well. They show that, somewhat counter intuitively, sequential disk access is faster than randomly accessing main memory. More relevantly they also show sequential access to disk, be it magnetic or SSD, to be at least three orders of magnitude faster and random IO. This means random operations are to be avoided. Sequential access is well worth designing for.
On the other hand there are scalability limits, particularly if you have lots of small values. If you’re values were just say simple numbers then the index would be larger than the data file itself. Despite this the pattern is a sensible compromise which is used in many products from Riak through to Oracle Coherence.
*A number of tree structures exist which do not require update-in-place. Most popular is the append-only Btree, also know as the copy-on-write tree. These work by overwriting the tree structure, sequentially, at the end of the file each time a writes occurs. Relevant parts of the old tree structure, including the top level node, are orphaned. Through this method update-in-place is avoided as the tree sequentially redefines itself over time. This method does however come at the cost. Rewriting the structure on every write is verbose. It creates a significant amount of write amplification which is a downside unto itself.
Lets look at this in a little more detail. When updates arrive they are added to an in-memory buffer, which is usually held as a tree (Red-Black etc) to preserve key-ordering. This ‘memtable’ is replicated on disk as a write-ahead-log in most implementations, simply for recovery purposes. When the memtable fills the sorted data is flushed to a new file on disk. This process repeats as more and more writes come in. Importantly the system is only doing sequential IO as files are not edited. New entries or edits simple create successive files (see fig above).
So reads in LSM trees are slower than their in-place brethren. Fortunately there are a couple of tricks which can make the pattern performant. The most common approach is to hold a page-index in memory. This provides a lookup which gets you ‘close’ to your target key. You scan from there as the data is sorted. LevelDB, RocksDB and BigTable do this with a block-index held at the end of each file. This often works better than straight binary search as it allows the user of variable length fields and is better suited to compressed data.
LSM is not without it critics though. It’s biggest problem, like GC, is the collection phases and the affect they have on precious IO. There is an interesting discussion of some of these on this hacker news thread.
Regular filesystems used today tend to be ‘Journaling’, for example ext3, ext4, HFS etc are tree-based approaches. A fixed height tree of inodes represent the directory structure and a journal is used to protect against failure conditions. In these implementations the journal is logical, meaning it only indoor metadata will be journaled. This is for performance reasons.
In log structured file systems data is written only once, directly to a journal repressed as a chronologically advancing buffer. The buffer is garbage collected periodically to remove redundant writes. Like LSM’s the log structured file system will write faster, but read slower than it’s dual-writing, tree based counterpart. Again this is acceptable where there is lots of RAM available to feed the file cache or the media doesn’t deal well with update in place, as is the case with flash.

Great plugin, works like a treat.
mm, can you post here the url where the "games" link point to?
Hello, i am new at elgg, and i have a question about arcade plugin !
Is it possible to make a plugin with come2play.com for elgg ?
Excellent professional support...Add a bit of fun with this plugin !
I've fixed it on the server side now, sorry for the mess up.
Thanks for your help, now everything works perfect.
hi love the plugin, nice job, i did notice that the link to the click to enlarge on the screenshots does not do anything, is that just me or is that a global issue... here is a random link im clicking on that is on one of the screenshot images.
Any suggestion tip to improve this are welcome!
@FeiusbucApps Why "Home" cant be set to Spanish???
@FaisbucApps Oh yeah, is there a way to "choose" a "recommended game"?
@FaisbucApps one last question: Is there a way to only "Display" Flash based games?
Home language: mmm, it appear like a bug :) I found tath home language is not properly saved when changed in the tools administration page. I will check it out soon... be patient please.
Recommended game: at this time no. I will add this feature in the next release for both home and as widgets.
Yes, in the tools admin. page select the "Online games" option for the "Default games platform" parameter.
Do you know how to put on the River Dashboard the games that a user had access to?
Download and install the version 1.2, this is a bug fix release and contains a new widget and the Japanese language.

You will face two separate legal actions if you are arrested for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) in Iowa, as in other states: a criminal case for the offense and a civil case involving your license. This means you likely will spend a considerable amount of time dealing with the state's court system and paying and various fees -- even before a verdict has been reached. If you are found guilty of an Iowa OWI, you will be required to serve at least 48 hours in jail and/or a $1,250 fine; however, the judge may waive up to half of that if there was no bodily injury or property damage caused by the offense. The penalties for a second offense only get more severe, punishable by a minimum of seven days and up to two years in prison.
It's best to avoid driving while intoxicated, of course. But if you find yourself charged with an OWI, understanding the law is the first step toward protecting your interests. The basics of Iowa's OWI laws are listed below, with links to related resources.
Iowa OWI Statute: Operating While Intoxicated (Iowa Code 321J.2).
Information for Offenders of Iowa's OWI Law - Brochure on the impaired driving laws of Iowa, for use in academic settings (Iowa Dept. of Education).
Ignition Interlock Program - Basics on ignition interlock in Iowa, with links to approved providers (Iowa Dept. of Transportation).
DUI Law - Articles and resources to help you understand impaired driving laws, court procedure, how to work with an attorney, and more (FindLaw).
What are the Iowa OWI Laws? - Additional information about Iowa's OWI laws, with specifics about penalties and links to related sources (FindLaw).
Des Moines Courthouses - Information about courthouses in Des Moines, Iowa, including maps (FindLaw).
A conviction for OWI in Iowa can result in hefty fines, license suspension, even jail time in some instances. And while you may not want to pile legal fees on top of that, a good attorney will advocate on your behalf and perhaps even save you money -- or keep you out of prison. If you have been arrested for OWI and need help understanding the law, you should consider contacting an OWI attorney in Iowa.
