After a lot of touting and teasing, YU Televentures has finally unveiled their latest mid ranger the YU Yunicorn. It was tipped to be launched on 19th of May but the launch was rescheduled to 31st May instead. The YU Yunicorn is a mid-range phone which will give a direct competition to the the phones between 15K-20K. We have been playing with the new entrant from last week and here are the answers to some really important queries about the device.
Answer- The YU Yunicorn looks looks quite different compared to the previous phones from YU Televentures. Front has 2.5D curve glass and a fingerprint sensor at the bottom that looks exactly the same as Mezu m3 Note. The back is made up of metal with brushed finish and has slight curve on the sides. The top and bottom of the back is made up of plastic to place the antennae bands but they are finished like metal. There are two thin shiny stripes where the aluminum back is joint with the antennae bands, which looks good, and the back also has chamfered edges that make it look even more elegant.
It feels very solid and heavy in hand, and looks premium for sure. But the design looks borrowed from Meizu phones, specially the front and the camera at the back.
Question- Does the YU Yunicorn Have Dual SIM Slots?
Answer- Yes, it has a Hybrid dual SIM slot and supports nano SIM.
Question- Does the YU Yunicorn Have microSD Expansion option?
Answer- Yes, you can insert a micro SD card up to 128GB in the SIM 2 slot.

Answer- It comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.
Question- How is the Display of the YU Yunicorn?
Answer- The YU Yunicorn comes with a 5.5 inch Full HD (1920 X 1080 pixels) IPS display protected with 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The display looks very subtle and clear. Colours were looking punchy and the sharpness is also perfect. Viewing angles are good but the glass is a bit reflective under bright day light.
Question- Does YU Yunicorn Support Adaptive Brightness?
Answer- It comes with the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with the YU AOS on top.
Answer- Yes, it has a fingerprint sensor and it is baked in the home button, and it is very quick.

Answer- 2.9 GB of RAM was free when we switched on the device for the first time.
Question- How good is The Camera Quality of the YU Yunicorn?
Answer- It comes with a 13 MP camera on the back and 5 MP on the front. Primary camera performs decent in day light but as we moved to low light, it was literally suffering. It has stabilization issues, focus speed is below average and details were also not up to the mark. The front camera captures clear selfies in natural light, but it becomes difficult to get a clear selfie in artificial light. The camera is very shaky and camera UI is laggy.

Answer- No it does not support fast charging.
Question- Does YU Yunicorn Have Heating Issues?
Question- Can YU Yunicorn be connected to a Bluetooth Headset?
YU Yunicorn is a really good device for someone who demands a lot of multitasking from their phones. It has everything that you can demand at this price point, but this deal could have been sweeter if the software was on point. It comes with almost stock Android Lollipop, and a very ordinary set of camera, but everything else is great for the price. | 2019-04-23T14:17:40Z | https://gadgetstouse.com/blog/2016/05/31/yu-yunicorn-faq-pros-cons-user-queries-and-answers/47262/ |
A government review of freedom of religion laws in Australia last month sparked outrage after it suggested that faith-based schools ought to have the right to turn away gay students and teachers.
This week on The Brief, Edwina Landale hears from Professor Margaret Thornton about Australia’s legal ambiguity when it comes to religion and discrimination. Topics discussed include what the proposed religious exemptions would involve, whether employment and educational discrimination should be treated differently, and how Australia’s secular-religious divide has changed over the last 20 years.

Sadly, news just arrived of Australian composer Phillip Houghton’s (1954-2017) passing this last October 1, 2017 (see: http://www.australianmusiccentre.com.au/article/phillip-houghton-1954-2017). This, not even a year after the untimely death of Roland Dyens (1955-2016) on October 29, 2016. Each composer contributed greatly to the guitar’s repertoire and here is an excerpt of their discography. May their music live through the international guitar community.
As mentioned in Sounboard (June 2017, Volume 43 No. 2 p. 16), Roland was the highest (then) living composer in the TOP 100 with his Tango en skaï. He was quite happy about this and asked me if he could tell, after reading the manuscript of GT 100 and accepting to endorse it. | 2019-04-20T14:19:01Z | https://classicalguitarstop100.wordpress.com/2017/10/ |

The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu, has clarified his position on the two-day Conflict Resolution Summit, which ended last Tuesday in Abuja.
A statement from Tinubu’s media office Wednesday cautioned one of the Yoruba leaders, Yinka Odumakin, against his utterances over Tinubu’s position, stating that Odumakin misunderstood the whole concept of the party leader’s position concerning the conflict resolution summit.
The statement read: “The only deserving response to Odumakin is that he needs a cure for his seeming selective comprehension.
“The range of short and long term options for an enduring peace in the incessant clashes between herders and farmers offered by Tinubu were suggestions for the consideration of the two-day Conflict Resolution Summit.
According to the statement, “It is not only some states in the South-west region that are affected but several states across the country. Why Odumakin has suddenly got hot under the collar may not be far-fetched. The usual frenzy and self-righteous mentality he portrays is on full display. Perhaps next time, he should read through the whole submission and caution himself from self-righteousness and displaying in full glare anarchical emotions.
Tinubu then added that government, in the short-term, must maintain reasonable and effective military and law enforcement presence in the affected areas, ThisDay writes. | 2019-04-22T03:22:32Z | https://www.olisa.tv/tinubu-tackles-afenifere-leader-over-herdsmen-crisis/ |
You have heard time and again that eating whole grains is the healthy way to go. But why?
Amy Vong and Wong Hui Xin, dietitians at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, tells us exactly how whole grains are beneficial for our health.
How exactly do whole grains benefit a person?
Amy Vong: Current scientific evidence shows that consuming whole grains is linked to better health in many ways.
Firstly, whole grains help us feel fuller for a longer time. This increased sense of satiety helps us avoid overeating.
Secondly, the higher fibre content in whole grains slows down the absorption of carbohydrates, keeping your blood sugar level steady – which is especially important for warding off potential diabetes complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage and stroke.
Thirdly, whole grains have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, promoting the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut, which helps digestion and metabolism, as well as reduces allergies.
Taken as a whole, the research points us towards including whole grains in a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
How significantly do whole grains lower health risks?
Amy Vong: When tracking groups of people over time or conducting surveys on people’s diets, researchers have found that people who eat a diet based on whole grains generally tend to have a lower body mass index (BMI) and better overall health.
If you are in the habit of eating whole grains, you have a significantly lower risk of contracting coronary heart disease – a risk lowered by 20 – 40%. The lowered risk of diabetes is similar at a 20 – 30% reduction.
People who consume the greatest amounts of whole grains, beyond experiencing the benefits above, also have a lower risk of developing some cancers.
What does the latest research on whole grains say?
Amy Vong: In general, we have been seeing an increase of evidence that bolsters older findings, and we understand better how a diet high in whole grains helps in general health.
Most of the evidence for whole grains comes from observational studies, where we have limited control over the participants’ other lifestyle aspects (which also impact their health) besides their diet.
However, there has been an increase of evidence for the benefits of whole grains from intervention studies (where tests resemble drug tests), which are generally more stringent than observational studies.
We are therefore now even more confident that whole grains are good for health.
Do some whole grains provide more benefits than others?
Wong Hui Xin: There are differences between types of whole grains, and each person will need differing amounts.
Grains, such as wheat, rice, oat, barley and rye, vary markedly in the types and amounts of phytochemicals they contain depending on their genetics and a variety of agro-climatic factors.
Whole grains are generally higher in the ‘good stuff’ – dietary fibre, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. They have similar macronutrient compositions, ie. energy, carbohydrate, protein and fat content.
However, different whole grains have different nutritional profiles.
Certain grains such as wheat, oat, barley and rye have higher fibre content (more than 10g of fibre per 100g). If your diet is low in fibre, you will want to eat more of these.
Research has also shown that beta glucan, found in oat and barley, is more effective in lowering blood lipids (fat) as compared to other grains. If you need to lose weight, replacing refined grains with oat and barley may help with the process.
On the other hand, corn has the highest phenolic acid content, followed by wheat, oat, and rice. The phenolic acid concentration of whole grains corresponds to their antioxidant capacity.
How much more beneficial is eating unprocessed whole grains (eg. oats) instead of processed whole grains (eg. wholemeal bread)?
Amy Vong: Whether it makes a big difference depends on each individual. As a rule, we should all be making healthier choices, but an underweight 17-year-old and an overweight 70-year-old will definitely have different priorities.
To make sense of how you should be adjusting your diet, we first need to understand the difference between unprocessed whole grains and processed whole grain foods.
On one end we have unprocessed whole grains which have the bran, endosperm, and germ intact.
On another end, we have refined grains, which have been stripped of the bran and germ.
Processed whole grain foods fall somewhere in the middle.
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2006 defined ‘whole grain’ as any mixture of bran, endosperm and germ in the proportions as in an intact grain – but the grains can be, and usually are, processed so that the 3 parts are separated and ground before being incorporated into foods.
Moreover, for a food product to be considered ‘whole grain’, the FDA says it must contain at least 51% of whole grains by weight. Processed whole grain foods may therefore have lower fibre and nutrient and antioxidant levels compared to intact grains.
In practice, when you buy whole grain bread from the supermarket, that bread will have a whole other list of ingredients that are not whole grains. A whole grain bread made with plenty of sugar or sweetened dried fruit is going to have different effect on your body from, say, brown rice or oats.
At the supermarket, we should be choosing whole grain products that are higher in fibre. Also, remember that including a variety of whole grain foods in the diet is the best way to reap the different health benefits.
Whole grain food products: whole wheat flour, whole wheat bread, rolled oats / oatmeal, popcorn, rye bread, whole grain pasta, whole grain tortilla, whole grain breakfast cereals, whole grain snacks and baked goods (eg. crackers, bars, muffins, etc).
Are there certain groups of people who should pay more attention to eating whole grains?
Wong Hui Xin: Everyone should consume whole grains over refined grains to help reduce risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, as well as for weight control and digestive health.
Besides eating a diet based on whole foods, we should also adopt a healthy lifestyle by engaging in physical activities for 150 minutes each week.
Whole grain foods may particularly benefit people with diabetes and overweight individuals.
For people with diabetes, eating whole grain foods helps to control blood sugar levels better due to the higher fibre content which slows down the absorption of carbohydrates.
For overweight individuals, eating whole grains helps to promote satiety, which helps reduce food consumption and overeating.
Even the fittest athletes can succumb to heart disease. Dr Leslie Tay, cardiologist, advises on reducing the risk of sudden cardiac arrest during sports.
Heart Truth #7: All Take Note!
Guys – listen up. Men generally face a higher risk of heart disease than women. Yet, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women.
Heart Truth #5: Get Moving!
Any form of aerobic exercise is good for the heart. Aim to exercise for at least 30 minutes, 5 times a week.

Listen to your body and understand your limits before attempting to go past your maximum heart rate during a workout.
Dr Paul Chiam discusses the dangers of high blood pressure and the different treatment options to reduce it.
Any heart surgery comes with risks, thus the transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) to improve the treatment of deadly heart diseases has been a welcomed effort.
A fast, irregular heart beat can be triggered by anxiety or emotional stress, but it may also be a symptom of a condition atrial fibrillation. Dr Kenneth Ng, cardiologist, explains.
Are Your Heart Murmurs Harmless?
Dr Dinesh Nair shares when heart murmurs can become a cause of concern.
The left ventricular assist device is increasingly becoming a viable option for heart failure patients around the world.
Heart stents open blocked arteries (that can cause heart attacks) and lessen the risk of clogged arteries in the future. A senior cardiologist talks us through the procedure and how it prevents heart disease.
Coronary angiograms, coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and heart stenting are 3 common procedures for detecting and treating coronary heart disease.
TAVI is a minimally invasive procedure that offers hope to patients too old or too ill for conventional aortic valve replacement operations.

Operation Tuna Salad is back!
What happens when we join forces with the Hunger Task Force of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Delaware County to make tuna salad for 150 people at a local homeless shelter? Operation Tuna Salad! From May through September/October, every second Friday evening of the month we gather with members of the Hunger Task Force to make and assemble tuna salad - LOTS of tuna salad. It's our way of giving back to the community that has given so much to us and to serve those in need. Everyone brings three pounds of cooked macaroni, chops veggies, opens giant cans of tuna and mayonnaise, and then mixes all the ingredients in colorful plastic tubs. The tuna salad is then bagged, and the bags are handed from person to person to be stored in the downstairs refrigerator. The next day the tuna salad is transported to the Life Center Shelter in Upper Darby for Saturday evening dinner. | 2019-04-20T03:15:41Z | http://www.inclusivecatholics.org/news/operation-tuna-salad-is-back |
We spoke previously on the management of privileged accounts and how important it is to keep them accountable. Privileged accounts are one of many different types of accounts that should fall under your organizations Account Management Program and another one to add to that would be service accounts.
What is a service account anyway? In basic terms, a service account is an account that a service on your computer uses to run under and access resources. This should not be a user’s personal account. While they may look the same, the separation of users from services is very important for both tracking and the ability to tighten down what an account can and cannot do. A service account could also be an account that is used for a scheduled task (sometimes referred to as a batch job account), or an account that is used in a script that is run outside of a specific user’s context. A scheduled task account should not be a personal user’s account for the same reasons that a service should not run under a personal user’s account.
You may ask what is so important about these? It seems like if it is not a user account, then how would it have access to my organization’s network? On the contrary, these accounts are a favorite target of many malicious actors because they are often implemented in such a way that they have a higher level of access than a user account. Historically, they also have not changed passwords as often (if ever) as user accounts.
Services are often installed under the built-in Local System account, which gives what are essentially local administrator privileges, so they are more predictable in how they will be able to be used if compromised. While local administrator privileges may seem somewhat harmless since they are not usually useable on other computers on your network, the local administrator privileges can end up granting access to domain username/password combinations and or lead to account changes that allow for easier connections to other parts of your network. As a result, both locking down a service account and following good password change and audit procedures is an important part of keeping your systems secure.
When it comes to the configuration and management of service accounts, there a few things listed below that can help.
Password Management – Some administrators like to set these accounts up with passwords that do not expire or use the same password for all the service accounts. Instead, there needs to be a strategy for managing these passwords and changing them on a regular basis, as well as using unique passwords.
Privilege Management – It is best practice to implement the principle of least privilege. Only provide the minimum necessary privileges to service accounts. If your service account must run with administrative privileges, deny that account access to all of the directories besides the one or two that it needs.
Naming – Consider names that are not completely obvious to the service, for example SQLService would be helpful to administrators, but it is more helpful to attackers. While obfuscation is not usually a recommendation to secure systems, in this case it may slow someone down enough to not want to try every account available.
Auditing – Logging and auditing of service accounts, and all accounts in any case, is very important to keep systems secure. Using an event log aggregator and looking for specific events can be helpful in discovering security problems and services that are not working correctly.
Locking down your service accounts should be a basic component of your hardening guide for all computers. While it requires more time to lock down a new service account to allow access only to what it needs, it is well worth the time spent. Defense-in-depth requires that you look at more than the perimeter, and service accounts are one major place where the in-depth strategy can serve you well. | 2019-04-21T20:50:13Z | https://www.securit360.com/blog/best-practices-privileged-account-management-part-2/ |

In fact, data organizations often set reliability standards that their data must reach before publication. Correction for correlation in the sample Expected error in the mean of A for a sample of n data points with sample bias coefficient ρ. For example, the sample mean is the usual estimator of a population mean. Similarly, if results from only female respondents are analyzed, the margin of error will be higher, assuming females are a subgroup of the population.

One of the best goalkeepers the game has seen and the sole custodian awarded the Ballon d'Or, Yashin claimed that trophy in 1963 after winning a sixth Soviet Top League title with his only club, Dinamo Moskva. Always dressed in black, he was imposing and extraordinarily agile. The UEFA European Championship contributed considerably to his legend and he was in especially brilliant form against Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia as the USSR lifted the inaugural title in 1960. He was greatly mourned, both inside and outside Russia, when he died in 1990.
Djurković excelled as a 22-year-old at the first UEFA European Championship, offering defensive solidity and attacking penetration at right-back. Although Yugoslavia missed out in France, he collected a gold medal at the Rome Olympics that September. Djurković played with Crvena zvezda before making a name for himself with St-Étienne, landing three French titles and the Coupe de France twice. He died tragically when mistakenly shot by a policeman in Sion, Switzerland, in June 1972 at the age of 36.
Captain of Czechoslovakia in 71 of the 75 internationals he played, Novák was leader of the talented team that finished third at the 1960 UEFA European Championship and runners-up at the 1962 FIFA World Cup. Especially strong in the air, he was a commanding presence on the domestic scene too, securing eight Czechoslovak titles with Dukla Praha. He won the championship with Dukla as a coach in 1982 and took charge of a number of Belgian clubs during the 1970s and 1980s as well as the Czech national side. He died in March 2011.
Netto helped his country to glory at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne and the first UEFA European Championship in France. An inspirational leader and exceptional footballer, he is probably best remembered for an extraordinary act of sportsmanship at the 1962 World Cup when he told the referee to disallow a goal against Uruguay in the group stage as the ball had entered the net from the wrong side. Netto's devotion to Spartak Moskva brought him five USSR championships and three domestic cups. He passed away in March 1999.
The first player from the former Communist Bloc to receive the Ballon d'Or, in 1962, Masopust was a midfield general of the highest order. The 1962 World Cup was his finest hour as he masterminded his team's run to the final against holders Brazil – where he opened the scoring only to end on the losing side after a 3-1 defeat. He notched ten goals in 63 outings for his country, despite often having to curb his attacking instincts. A serial champion with Dukla Praha, Masopust later coached the club and also took the national-team job during the mid-1980s. He died in June 2015.
A loyal servant to Torpedo Moskva, Ivanov twice picked up the Soviet title but was probably more renowned for his international exploits. He hit 26 goals in 59 games for the USSR, including four at the 1962 World Cup in Chile, where he was joint-leading scorer. He won the inaugural UEFA European Championship in 1960, registering twice in the 3-0 semi-final defeat of Czechoslovakia, and was again on form four years later as the USSR reached another final. He coached Torpedo four times, landing one league crown and two domestic cups. He died in November 2011.
A pacy right-winger, Metreveli made his mark on the 1960 UEFA European Championship – and Soviet Union football history – by scoring the equaliser in the final against Yugoslavia. It was his fourth goal in an international career that would last for another decade, earning him trips to the 1962, 1966 and 1970 World Cups. The Georgian played for Torpedo Moskva from 1956 to 1962, acquiring two championships and one Soviet Cup, before going home to join Dinamo Tbilisi. He passed away in January 1998 at the age of 61.
With 37 goals in 51 matches for Yugoslavia, Galić stands second in the country's all-time scoring charts, one behind 1950s icon Stjepan Bobek. Both were star strikers for Partizan, with Galić playing for the club in the 1966 European Champion Clubs' Cup final, yet it was in the blue, white and red of Yugoslavia that they established worldwide reputations. Galić was on target in every round of the 1960 UEFA European Championship and repeated the trick in claiming a gold medal at the Rome Olympics. He ended his career with spells at Standard Liège and Stade de Reims and died in September 2014.
The first player called up to the Soviet Union national team while representing a second division side (SKA Rostov-on-Don), Ponedelnik justified the selection by netting a hat-trick on his debut in a 7-1 thrashing of Poland in May 1960. A few weeks later he became the toast of the Soviet Union by heading in the winning extra-time goal in the UEFA European Championship final. Ponedelnik (which translates as Sunday) amassed a total of 20 goals in his 29 internationals before being forced into premature retirement at 29.
A maverick inside-forward whose showman skills made him a celebrity footballer in Yugoslavia through the 1950s and 1960s, Šekularac spent the bulk of his career with Belgrade giants Crvena zvezda (he is one of five individuals in their hall of fame) before exporting his talents to West Germany and Colombia. The 1960 UEFA European Championship proved a particular highlight for a player who made his debut at 18, though he also featured at the World Cups of 1958 and 1962. His popularity was such that he starred in the 1962 movie Šeki snima, pazi se.
Kostić did not get his name on the scoresheet at the 1960 UEFA European Championship finals but the predatory forward was responsible for getting Yugoslavia to France with three of their six strikes in the quarter-final against Portugal. He further enhanced his reputation with seven in five games at the Rome Olympics that year, including one in the final against Denmark. He was no less prolific with Crvena zvezda, for whom he remains the all-time leading marksman with 158 top-flight goals. He died in January 2011. | 2019-04-19T22:38:05Z | https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro-2020/news/newsid=2122329.html |
Santa Anita, shown on March 5, has stopped its racing program in the wake of 22 horse deaths since Dec. 26.
Imagine being a car owner with tires that keep going flat. You change the windshield wipers and install new brake pads. Hey, it’s safer. See? But … um … why are the tires going flat?
You did something, without answering or addressing the question.
That’s the alarming lack of dot-connecting happening at Santa Anita Park in the wake of yet another horse death at the track. The facility in Arcadia, reeling from 22 fatalities since Dec. 26 — including one Thursday, a day after re-opening the main track for training — came across as a flailing misdirection.
The decision to, among other things, ban the use of the medication Lasix sent trainers and those who care for horses into outraged orbit.
The dominoes, crushing and possibly permanent.
“I think they’re going to cause a mass exodus from California,” trainer Joe Herrick said. “Lasix has nothing — nothing — to do with the soundness of a horse. If they want to really do something, cut anti-inflammatories in half or altogether so when a vet diagnoses a horse in the morning, they really know what’s happening. I look OK when I have three or four Advil. If I don’t, I limp around pretty good.
Lasix is a potent diuretic that controls pulmonary bleeding in horses prone to that. If all of it sounds too inside-baseball, boil it down to this: Santa Anita had to do something to address far too many horse deaths, but picked the wrong something. In fact, they picked the exact something that could tear apart the sport at its California seams.
If any of this sounds like an argument in support of the sport soft-shoeing its approach to safety, that’s nowhere close to being the case. In fact, nothing is more important to its financial and moral survival.
It’s a matter of being smart and, as much as anything, on-target about decisions that send ripples through an industry already on fragile footing with an aging fan base, animal-safety concerns and a range of other challenges. Racing supports an estimated 50,000 jobs and $2.5 billion in annual economic impact in California alone.
Carlsbad horse owner and handicapper Jon Lindo reinforced Santa Anita’s confusing response.
“The announcement they made, it’s completely separate from the breakdown problem they’ve been having up there,” said Lindo, whose horse Skye Diamonds ran twice in the prestigious Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint. “To me, this statement has nothing else to do with what’s going on at Santa Anita.
To Santa Anita’s credit, doing something almost always trumps doing nothing. The Stronach Group, which operates the track, made the remarkable step to stop races and training in an effort to identify what was claiming so many horses. Soggy conditions also have turned Southern California into Seattle South, wreaking havoc on racing surfaces.
When answers related to the track itself proved elusive, though, the announced changes came across as throwing as much against the wall as possible — hoping and praying something would stick.
In 2016, Del Mar suffered through 23 horse deaths at its summer and fall meets. A range of surface-specific salves included hiring renowned track superintendent Dennis Moore, increasing the amount of veterinarians and checks, cutting a week from the schedule to increase track prep time and much more that turned the tide.
The fatalities in the summer meet dropped from 17 to an average of 5.5 the next two years, while fall deaths tumbled from six to three to one.
A news release from Santa Anita included a quote from Del Mar CEO Joe Harper. Though he supports Santa Anita’s ban on riding crops for any use other than safety-related race correction and the other suggested steps, Harper stopped short of saying his track would ban Lasix.
That move in particular, Harper realizes, has the potential to cause the most damage inside the sport.
Santa Anita also faces uncomfortable timing. The track is scheduled to host the Breeders’ Cup in November. If the Kentucky Derby is horse racing’s Super Bowl, the Breeders’ Cup represents its World Series.
The dark cloud of unsafe racing has the potential to rattle the confidence of decision-makers for the event, which delivered a reported $97 million in economic impact to Del Mar in 2017.
Something had to be done at Santa Anita. They’re no closer, though, to solving why horses keep falling on their track. To make matters worse, they’ve enraged many of the stakeholders critical to addressing the issue.
New wiper blades and brake pads are nice.
Better yet: Fix the car — or don’t drive it until you do. | 2019-04-19T13:02:10Z | https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sports/columnists/bryce-miller/sd-sp-miller-santa-anita-del-mar-horse-deaths-20190315-story.html |
As organizations are becoming increasingly global, the need for efficient and effective project management tools is necessary in order to accomplish business goals and process objectives. The increase demand for human resource requires “cross-functional, and often cross-cultural, geographically dispersed project teams” (Beise, 2004). Human resources are continually increasing in skill, diversity and knowledge which can benefit cross cultural organizations. Organizations are always seeking a competitive advantage with their competitors. As a result, project virtual teams are integrated in business models to potentially benefit business outcomes. The use of electronic mechanisms, tools, and resources influences group processes and outcomes. Furthermore, the benefits or limitations of virtual teams can also be evident in project management implementation and outcomes.
Through this research I will analyze and discuss how virtual teams face a variety of challenges; however the most critical challenge in my opinion is that of effective management and constructive leadership. Furthermore this paper will investigate if in a virtual team there is relational development dilemma which remains a difficult aspect of team success. The fact that virtual teams “are geographically and/or temporally dispersed and are brought together by information and communication technologies” (Beise, Carte, Chidambaram, & Vician, 2010) does not mean that the relational development of the team cannot be successful. I will find through this research if indeed virtual teams are more focused on the actual task at hand and less interested in development of relationships that are common with face to face interactions. Essentially this social exchange within the context of information systems suggests that “using face to face meetings or richer media in the early stages of virtual team development may foster closer interpersonal relationships” (Beise, Carte, Chidambaram, & Vician, 2010). If we analyze the virtual teams and project management interaction styles we come to find that “interaction style has been shown to have a great effect on conventional work teams’ ability to achieve solution quality and solution acceptance” (Balthazard, Potter, & Warren, 2004).
Due to advanced communication technologies, globalization and outsourcing most of the project management teams are based on groups of individuals called virtual teams who work across time and space using communication technologies. Members of virtual teams may be employees of same company from same country, or they can be contractors, suppliers and company employees around the globe.
Managing projects using virtual teams have some advantages and disadvantages. Also several studies have been done to try to determine the factors that are positively co-related to the effectiveness of virtual teams (Schwalbe, 2011). To manage virtual teams successfully in project management, the project manager must manage these factors successfully and also minimize the impact of disadvantages.
This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the virtual teams in project management and outlines the factors that are positively correlated to the success of projects based on virtual teams. The paper also outlines some of the recommendations to successfully manage the virtual team in information technology projects.
Globalization, outsourcing, virtual teams, video conferencing, telecommuting, Project Management, Trust and relationship, Advantages of Virtual teams, Disadvantages of virtual team.
Imagine that you are a project manager in a multinational organization and managing a project to upgrade the server operating system and your team members are from different countries with different cultures and working in different time zones. To complete the project successfully that is based on virtual teams, project manager must understand the advantages and disadvantages of managing virtual teams and factors that positively affect the team members. Today most of the project management teams are based on virtual teams whose members work across time and space using communication technologies and project managers cannot rely on previous methods of project team management where they were able to build trust between team member by social interaction, face-to-face meetings, and direct observations of fellow team member commitment. (Kirkman, Rosen, Gibson, Tesluk, & McPherson, 2002).
Virtual teams do have some advantages and disadvantages. Some of the advantages outlined by Kathy Schwalbe are: 24/7 availability of workers increasing competiveness and responsiveness, lowering the cost of project as many virtual team members do not need office space and support, providing more flexibility and expertise as project managers have access to the talent around the globe and increasing the work/life balance for team members by eliminating fixed office hours and the need to travel to work. (Schwalbe, 2011).
Radostina K. Purvanova reviewed experimental literature and emerging field research on virtual teams. Author compared the “results from both type of literature and found that experimental literature has largely reported negative results for virtual teams, whereas field investigations and case studies of real virtual teams employed by business organizations report positive outcomes for virtual teams.” (Purvanova, Feb 2014) According to the article although results reported by experimental versus field studies are quite different, author concludes that both literatures have revealed negative attitudes toward virtual communication media.
The biggest advantage of virtual team enjoyed by an organization is the associated cost savings. The organization can save huge expenses on real estate, office spaces, utility bills such as gas, electricity, water etc. and executive’s travel. Team members can work from anywhere and anytime of the day. They can choose the place they work based on the mood and the comfort. You can recruit people for their skills and suitability to the job. The location does not matter. There is no time and money wasted for commuting and clothing. Physical handicaps are not an issue.
Another advantage is the labour laws, some organizations prefer to have virtual teams because of strict local labour laws. Since the members span the time zones, there could be different team working on the same project 24/7, so when one member sleeps there will be another one somewhere else who would start work where the former had left. This shortens the product development time as well as faster response time to demands in both global and local markets.
Since team members do not frequently meet or do not meet at all, the teamwork spirit may not be present. Some people prefer to be in a physical office when working. These people will be less productive in virtual environments. To work for virtual teams, individuals need to have a lot of self-discipline. If the individual is not disciplined, he or she may be less productive. The cultural difference between the members of virtual teams gives rise to number of conflicts. For example, while an employee from one part of the world would write a straightforward email describing a bad situation; this would be perceived as impolite by a member of the team from other part of the world. This would lead to conflicts, mistrust and difficulties in fruitful collaboration which is so vital for the success of virtual team functioning. These challenges are also precipitated by the absence of non-verbal cues so intrinsic to face-to-face interactions. Many members of virtual teams are adversely affected by the lack of physical interactions. Most of the communications in virtual environment is task-oriented. In today’s society where job is an important social force for most of us because many of our workplace colleagues also constitute our close friends, this gives a not-so-good feeling of social isolation. This in turn counter-effects productivity as well as leads to stress. In the virtual environment, it is better to communicate, clarify, and confirm everything to make sure that all members have the same understanding about the task at hand. This produces of ton of paperwork and files that could quickly fill your archives.
Since team members are not communicating face to face, constructive team and individual feedback early and often becomes more important and if managed properly can avoid many problems before hand.
Trust between team members and project leader is an important factor that can affect the performance of team members. One important way to build trust between team members is effective communication. The more they communicate with each other and with project more they build the trust.
Well defined and documented team process also important which saves a lot of time for especially new team members to find answers to their questions related to policies and procedures.
Organizations such as IBM, Microsoft, Whirlpool as well as SMEs are reaping the benefits of virtual teams for some time now. It has been a well-recognized fact that virtual team is not a passing tide but it is here to stay. Virtual teams are rising in numbers nowadays and even small technology companies are now adapting virtual team practice for recruiting the best people from all over the globe and reduce the cost.
As outlined in previous sections, virtual teams do have advantaged and some disadvantages as well. To benefit from advantages and to minimize the impact of disadvantages a project manager can focus on factors that positively affect the virtual team’s performance. As indicated by previous researchers, increase in trust, comfort level and communication effectiveness leads to better project success.
All of the above discussed disadvantages can be overcome by following a different leadership approach, trainings, greater role clarity and effective communication strategies. Also earlier discussed factors that affect virtual teams, if managed properly can result in a successful project. In addition, the companies using virtual teams can minimize their operating costs and maximize the profit margins. Additionally, the employees working in virtual teams are at advantages when it comes to working in their own home, own time, and reduction of commuting costs. Therefore, organizations should look into setting up virtual teams for different tasks whenever possible.
To reap the benefits of virtual teams in projects and minimize the impact of disadvantages virtual team managers should manage the outlined factors properly and should also follow best practices outlined in next section.
When running virtual teams, some of the best practices include: An instant messaging program can be used to create a sense of presence amongst members of the team. Chat is a good way to have side conversations during meetings to gain consensus, confirm understanding or ask questions. Quick questions can be asked through instant messenger as a substitute for popping into someone’s cubicle. Services for syncing files, bug tracking, project management, source control, web conferencing, conference calls, screen recording, usability testing and so on.

The special fascination of matt porcelain lies in the counterplay with shiny glazes. The set OMNIA, consisting of only four parts - a dinner plate, a breakfast plate, a bowl and a cup - is matt on the outside and looks like a fine layer. The internationally renowned EOOS design team was inspired by natural phenomena such as lava flows, glaciers and rock layers. OMNIA is reminiscent of natural and rough surfaces. Matt and grown on the outside, smooth on the inside. This tension gives OMNIA a very special sophistication. The play of contrasts is accentuated by the optional two-tone finish of the matt porcelain. In addition to puristic white, OMNIA in anthracite, light brown, bronze and dark brown fulfils the longing of an urban lifestyle for naturalness and sustainability.
At FÜRSTENBERG, every part is lovingly handcrafted so that matt porcelain does not feel rough but tender and flattering - whether polished by hand, sandblasted or glazed with a matt finish. It is this craftsmanship that characterises the quality not only of FÜRSTENBERG's matt porcelain. Perfection down to the last detail is only possible because even today a large part of the porcelain production is still based on handicraft. This is still the motto at FÜRSTENBERG: A cup goes through 100 hands. It is the people who create timeless craftsmanship with their know-how, innovative spirit and love of porcelain as a material. | 2019-04-18T12:36:25Z | https://www.fuerstenberg-porzellan.com/en/Shop/Colours/Matted/ |

Sabotage: I had such a hard day, I deserve to reward myself with food.
Response: If I reward myself with food and overeat, I’ll end up feeling terrible – physically and mentally, which will be the exact opposite of a reward. If I stay on track and control my eating, I will feel great. Food rewards just don’t work once the food is gone!

A few months ago, our office switched its e-mail over to a business version of gmail. One of the features of our new e-mail is that a little colored circle is displayed by each person’s name showing whether he or she is online.
I have to admit, I really like it when I see other people on staff with the green circle by their names. According to Google, this means they are “available.” Because I work from home, it’s easy to start feeling isolated and alone as I complete my tasks each week. But when I see those green lights next to other people’s names it makes me feel like I’m part of a team.
One person might be in the office. Someone else is at Caribou. Another person might be working from home. But we are all working together. For the same goal. And I don’t feel so alone.
Yesterday my green light was on almost all day. The boys were at camp. My daughter had a play date. The toddler was happily playing or napping most of they day. So I took advantage of the time to get caught up on a ton of work.
I was sending and receiving e-mail and working away as if everything was peachy. But I was fighting a nasty cold and felt horrible all day. I was tempted to set a custom message by my green light: “Cough, cough. Sneeze, sneeze. Please feel sorry for me.” It just seemed wrong that my green dot was shining brightly as if everything was perfect when I was really struggling.
And isn’t that how it often goes in our real, offline world, as well?
Most of us at least try to put on the green light when we are out in public. We smile and joke. We pull ourselves together. We walk around with our big “available” button shining brightly. But wouldn’t it be kind of nice if we could change our status to put out a warning of what is really happening on the inside?
Last Saturday, I was watching my daughter’s soccer game, along with the toddler and my 8-year-old son. My husband had to take the 10-year-old to another field for his game. It was hot. We were hungry. It was naptime. It was humid. There wasn’t a shade tree in sight.
It had been a struggle to get everyone where they needed to be, and I was just relieved that the toddler had found a little hill about 10 feet away from me that was keeping her busy. She loved marching up the tiny incline and then running back down it. At the top of the hill, a woman was sitting in a lawn chair next to a building, which was giving her a little shade.
My son was hovering nearby to make sure the toddler didn’t wander too far or fall down.
My son nodded, as I headed over to prove the baby really did have a mother.
“Well, you better put that baby in the stroller before her head gets sunburned,” she ordered.
I assured the woman I had covered her in sunscreen.
At that moment, my light turned bright red. My green light was done. Off. Finished.
I wasn’t going to bother explaining that I had tried six times to get the toddler to keep a hat on her head. It would serve no purpose to try to tell her that I’m neurotic about applying sunscreen. Or that confining the 18-month-old to a stroller for an hour when it was 98 degrees outside would have created such a loud protest that she would be begging me to release the child from her confinement.
I was just relieved we had succeeded in getting all four children where they needed to be at the right time. I was happy that no one was crying. I was overjoyed the toddler was having fun running up and down the hill so I could actually observe a few minutes of the game. I had zero desire for anyone in the family to get a sunburn, and even though it did look like she was probably going to be burned to a crisp, I had enough experience as her mom to trust that the extra coating of sunscreen was going to work.
The whole interaction was a good reminder to me. I need to take more time to find out what people have gone through to get to the place they are. They might look pretty and put together with their nice green light shining on the outside. But a harsh word or an unsolicited comment might just knock them over.
I need to remember that not everyone is “available” for whatever I might feel like throwing their way. Green light, or not.
And it's sad that all I took away from that is how I wanna pop that lady in the head for the whole sunburn thing!! I have a saying when it comes to obvious comments from others that degrade my abilities and it's "big dummy"! When someone let's me know I'm "doin it wrong" I always whisper to myself "yeah ya big dummy"!!! Then laugh at them cuz they r really the "big dummy"!! This doesnt make sense I bet… I do that often!
Oh, Andrea… You totally crack me up! Thanks for making me laugh!!
Great post Emily! I needed this reminder as well.
Great thoughts, thank you! I do kind of want to smack that woman though… haha!
Good advice Andrea! I guess I just need a preconceived response to comments like that. You are a great writer, Emily. | 2019-04-19T20:26:27Z | http://everydaymomlife.com/2011/06/10/the-green-light/?replytocom=2595 |

I am not a witch. I’m a cute dog! I just dressed as a witch for Halloween.
Halloween scares me a little for one big reason.
Though I love the treats I get—an extra rawhide that’s vet-recommended—I don’t like the tricks part of it.
My BFF Shelley likes to dress me up for three reasons: sometimes on Halloween, always on Christmas and whenever it’s cold and we’re outside or on a walk. I’ve been a witch, a mechanic with a pink bandana and a school girl with a tan skirt and white cable knit sweater. And at Christmas, I have to wear my green T-shirt with an image of Santa with one of his reindeer.
But I don’t like it. When I was little, I’d squirm right out of my clothes, or bunch them up, or get my little paw caught in one of the arms. Now that I’m older, I just put up with it.
I’ve done some research and found that dressing up dogs in over-the-top costumes is usually for the pet owners’ benefit and not for the sake of the pet. It’s OK to dress us up to be warm but not if the costume physically restricts our movements or causes discomfort. Shelley puts me in a warm jacket or sweater if it’s cold out, and I like it well enough after I get used to the extra layer and understand I can still walk.
But when large sections of our bodies are covered by material, it’s hard for us to communicate with other dogs, particularly because body language is one of our major methods for expressing ourselves. Granted, I really don’t like other dogs unless they’re smaller than me, though I do like cats. Still, I need to get my message across.
Some dogs become scared or confused when they are dressed up, and some won’t express themselves. Things on our heads, like hats and hoods, can be particularly disturbing, because they’re in the way and we’re not used to them.
Anyway, here are some photos of me in costume, but as you can see, I don’t look that excited. I’d rather have a treat and no tricks and silly costumes.
I’m not very happy in my witch’s hat. My BFF Shelley took a photo and took if off of me, thank goodness!
I am dressed as a mechanic. This costume isn’t as bad because it doesn’t have a hat!
Why am I wearing a silly bow that matches my silly shirt?
I’m opening my Christmas presents. I’m wearing my Christmas shirt!
I am a very talented and cute dachshund named Zoey.
Nearly every week in 2016, I “sat” at the laptop (I’m a lapdog, too!) and wrote a blog about … well, mainly about me.
It’s because I like to “shake” things up as I “roll” with the flow.
Am I funny? I can do tricks and write my trick words into my post.
I’ve been blogging since 2011 about my life as a cute dachshund, sharing stories and photos to demonstrate the fact.
Being both a dog blogger and a canine poet able to write poems from a dog’s perspective.
Understanding dog behavior and what dogs need and want from their owners. I wrote about how pet owners—I call mine my BFF—need to let us know how much we mean to them, pay attention to us (like all of the time) and give us lots of treats (even healthy ones).
Realizing the elements of responsible pet ownership, like giving us healthy food without too many unhealthy table scraps, avoiding giving us chocolate and onions, and taking us on regular walks.
And, most importantly, telling really interesting stories from my own life.
I also wrote about cats, even though most of them don’t like me too much. I like cats, birds, geese and anything else in the animal kingdom, but not dogs, at least those larger than me. I bark at them, and they look at me as if I’m silly, so I bark again, while also wiggling my tail. They then ignore me.
I don’t like it, so I’ve concluded that cats are safer; they’re not keen on dogs, and I can just pretend they are.
In 2017, I may take a small break from blogging as my BFF and I figure out our blogging goals for the year. Like her, I’m not getting very many Likes, which I don’t understand, because I’m totally cute and fun and the best dog ever! | 2019-04-23T00:04:42Z | https://zoeyspaw.wordpress.com/tag/shelley-widhalm/ |
While many restaurants in New York City have close relationships with farmers, and boast unimpeachable farm-to-table ethics, far fewer have actual gardens wherein they grow the produce that’s used on their plates. Six great restaurants with their very own gardens follow. Call them “roof to table.” By Jessica Allen.
Atop a 100-year-old building in the West Village grow lettuces, bicolor squash, fennel, dill, parsley, poblano peppers, Japanese eggplant, and tomatoes, among other things, using soil-less, solar-powered hydroponic technology. Bell, Book & Candle incorporates these and other vegetables and herbs into its New American food. Being so close to the source means the chefs don’t refrigerate the produce. In fact, they call the freshly grown produce “dormant, not dead,” since the roots are kept attached until the very last second before cooking.
Roberta’s might look like a bunker from the outside, but inside the message is all about love—love of good food, love of food to create change, love of the community that comes together around good food. Behind its scruffy exterior lie terrific pizza and pasta, a radio station, a greenhouse, and a very big garden. You can see what’s growing via the garden’s blog, with its photos of violets, edible weeds, raspberries, basil, strawberries, watermelon, peaches, chard, and blackberries, or you can take a seat in the wooden-paneled dining room, beneath a pizza party Barbie and board games, and order whatever’s just been harvested.
Like most Westin properties around the world, the newest one in New York City features luxurious amenities like the Heavenly Bed® (definitely worth its copyright in plushness), in-room Starbucks coffee, and special velour robes. But this hotel also has its very own organic garden, 384 feet above 42nd Street, supplying veggies and herbs to The LCL: Bar & Kitchen on site. This means fresh mint for mojitos and other cocktails, heirloom tomatoes for gazpacho and other dishes, mesclun lettuce for salads, grilled squash and zucchini as seasonal sides, and everything and anything else Executive Chef Brian Wieler (pictured) can cook up.
Modeled on a shebeen, an informal dining hall, and named for Nelson Mandela, Madiba claims to be the first South African restaurant of its kind in the United States. It opened in Fort Greene in 1999. Its rooftop garden is the source of at least some of the produce on the bushman’s vegetable platter (pictured), including yellow squash, asparagus, string beans, baby bok choy, corn on the cob, spinach, and fat triangles of garlic. This dish serves as a counterpart to meatastic South African braai, or barbecue, a specialty of the restaurant.
The people behind Brooklyn Grange, the world’s largest rooftop soil farms, helped construct a much smaller one atop Rosemary’s, an Italian enoteca and trattoria in the West Village. Here, on 1,700 square feet, grow peppers, radishes, arugula, basil, broccoli rabe, and all kinds of organic goodness. Picked produce arrives in the kitchen in a basket using a block and tackle. An actual basket! Not content with herbs and veggies, restaurateur Carlos Suarez has expanded the garden to include a chicken coop and beehive. Diners are sometimes allowed up for a peek.
When chef/restaurateur Jean-Georges Vongerichten and his partners decided to build a rooftop garden 10 stories above Broadway to supply ABC Kitchen with microgreens, herbs, and other produce, they sought out seeds from farmers at the Union Square Greenmarket. In addition to what gets harvested upstairs, the seasonal, oft-changing menu at this James Beard award-winning restaurant includes sustainable, locally sourced (when possible) meat, dairy, seafood, and produce, free of antibiotics and pesticides, along with beverages whose ingredients come from fair-trade cooperatives. | 2019-04-21T12:39:05Z | https://newyork.cbslocal.com/top-lists/6-great-nyc-restaurants-with-rooftop-gardens/ |

One of the things I like best about Opels is that the headlights are manually operated. Chunk-Chunk.
I don't really get automated hood openers. First, how often is one opening hoods, to necessitate this? Second, how difficult is it to open a hood? If one is able to drive. Automatic windows, locks, etc, because those are done while driving or approaching the vehicle or leaving the vehicle and take time. But automated hood opening? I'm already stuck there doing whatever I opened the hood to do. Third, it's slower. If It was like a mousetrap, BANG and the hood is popped open, okay, now you've got my attention.
That said, I will always be in favor of robotic slavery. Makes me feel like an emperor. "Minion! Open my hood!" And the robot slave runs on its hamster wheel to crank it open. Automation is awesome.
One reason is that it's a car show thing to show off. Another is the enjoyment of the challenge of doing it, much like your project. I and a number of others do ridiculous mods just for the sake of doing them.
Does anyone have that video of that powered pop-out rear side window mod that someone did?
I think they were air actuated, but maybe they used servos.
V8GT and m610 like this.
wayne tormans purple GTthat drinkman owns now. there is a write up out there somewhere.
Here is a short description of the elec. hood mod.
A little more complicated is the electric unlocking mechanism for the hood, which is strictly necessary. I use a small actuator from a BMW E46 Coupe (rear vent window).
As a backup, it is always still possible to open(and close) the hood manually by hand. I manage this by decoupling the actutors mecanical in direction open.
On this two pics (3 & 4) it is visible how it works. A bearing slides on a additional rod, which is attached in front of the actuator. The rod is of course a little bit longer than the actuator stroke.
that back in the days Opel itself converted two GT with a electical hood to display on car shows in 1968. Both cars were also equipped with a slow runing automatic headlight device.

Okay Jose, you are now going to have to show us a lot more pictures of the cool stuff on your car. I see a burled walnut instrument panel cover and a VERY nice cover under the dash where your switch is. What other cool things are hiding from us?
I like your idea of one linear actuator going to a rod that goes through both hood hinges. Very strong and balanced.
I do not understand how you can open the hood by hand. Do you have to disconnect the linear actuator? Will the actuator let you lift the hood when it has no power? If your battery dies, can you still open the hood?
I was asked to post more about our rear windows. Here is a post I've done in the past. Sorry, no video. I'll see if I can get one this weekend.
Lifes too short to drive boring cars or drink boring beers. Just don't do them at the same time.
1979 Triumph Spitfire with GT6+ conversion = "Spit6"
Do you have to disconnect the linear actuator?
I might be wrong, but what I think is happening is that the actuator can push (lengthen) against the bearing in Pic 4 and open the hood, but, if it stays closed (short), you can still pull it open manually (Pic 3). In the manual case, rather than the actuator lengthening, the whole shortened actuator just slides back because it's not secured at the bottom end. It's floating. That is, gravity closes the hood when the actuator lets it, there is no pulling constraint, only pushing.
If you look at Pic 3, see the space between the end of the actuator and the start of the bearing (follow down the skinny shaft)... if that was in electric mode, you wouldn't see the rod between the actuator and the bearing, the actuator itself would have pushed out that far and be butted against the bearing (like in pic 4, where the actuator shaft is 3x as thick as the skinny shaft). It's like a telescoping tube. The inner tube is the steel bar, the outer tube is the actuator.
Or I'm out to lunch.

Yeah that would make sense.
I work with linear actuators at work, but ours are air driven, so they're powered by air pressure in both directions. They don't budge if you try to move them at either end of their stroke. But if you bleed off the air pressure you can easily slide them back and forth.
most people dont understand that „decoupling-thing“.
The actuator is permanent in „direction open“ disconnected. Matts get it and describes exactly how it works in post #10.
The BMW actuator which unlocks(and locks) the hood latch, works the same way.
The pic´s shows the telescoping linkage.
The linkage(hood latch) is pulled back from the original hood latch spring.
The hood closes only through gravity.
I have to note that this hood is little bit heavier due to sound damping mats. Ist not that much but what counts is lever arm and this one is very long.
To be honest, i was able to identify the GT-Showcar from the 69 Brussel Motorshow and i know the VIN . I am really not kidding.
The other one(last pic in post #5) was a GT 1100. Both were pre production cars.
they're powered by air pressure in both directions. They don't budge if you try to move them at either end of their stroke.
I think these are screw-type, (probably double-stage planetary with a pair of spur gears at the bottom). Regardless, same should apply to them here.
I'm probably not explaining it right.
I think what you mistakenly think is happening is that the actuator - when unpowered - allows the ram to slide freely. I don't think it does. The ram length still stays short.
What is actually happening is that the locked-short RAM has nothing securing the bottom end of the ram from moving, only the top end. So you can overextend it manually. It's only designed to forcibly push.
That would mean the bottom end of the ram can just flop about in any direction like a wang in the wind, so you need a thing that makes sure it settles back into the same position against the bumper when the hood is manually closed every. That thing is a much smaller rod that constrains the bottom of the actuator to be always pointing at the bearing. Like, umm, a catheter I suppose. This is a terrible analogy, I'm not comfortable talking about it anymore. Hopefully you understand now.
You have described it correct.
I manufactured and added the small sliding-rod-extention to the actuator. They dont come from factory with such an "wackadoodle-option" when you buy them.

Or maybe even more interesting would be how did Opel do this mod back in 1968/69?
Are there pictures of one of those cars showing the mod?
Unfortunately i dont know if there exist pic´s from this devices. Keep in mind that this modifications happend now 50 years ago. I gues most people who were involved in this, sadly dont live any more.
Later i will post some pics from my under dash panel make of.
Yes, this is exact like mine looks. It comes from Lenk.
As promised, here are some pics from my foot room panel(under dash cover) fabrication.
After the EPS install some years ago, i decide to cover that stuff with a foot panel.
Finally i opted for a 2 piece design. I made the right side from thin sheet metal. The left side ist a wooden-metal mix.
Before cover them up with leather, i „soften“ the surface with a layer of foam.
This is verry important from seafty reasons in case of an haevy accident(car crash).
The left side has a cutout for access to the fuse box. The cutout is covered withe the original Opel GT fuse cover.
Later i added a foot room illumination and a „head light-on - ignition-off - door-open“ buzzer.
I prefer the BMW one because it sounds not that harsh.
The illlumination is conected to a adjustable delay modul withe dimmer function.
It also controls the main interior lights. Ligths in plural because i added a second one on left side b pilar.
The swich for the motorisiered hood come from a Mercedes W124(elec. sliding roof).
The little „switch-console“ on the transmission tunel , whith in reality is the heater foot room air duct.
In my case it hosted the EPS controls and other „under dash switches“.
Over the years i updated this little piece several times. Pic 9 & 10 shows the last version.

Is there a way to automatically create and unlock all nodes from a specific section of the node menu?
Maybe use the OnCreated script to do so. There is the python command toolMenuLocations() to check the the Menu Folder. If the node is in the Folder you can use allowEditingOfContens().
The question was rather how to create all nodes from a specific folder like "terrain" or "test geometry" via script. | 2019-04-23T04:02:51Z | https://forums.odforce.net/topic/40455-mass-create-nodes-from-tab-menu/?tab=comments |

Our business has evolved so that our customers can thrive in theirs, providing them the flexibility to subscribe to software solutions tailored to fit their needs as they approach the future of making things.
In order to accomplish this, we are now offering software solutions via subscription only. As of 1 August 2016 we completed this transition, which includes the end of sale of perpetual licences for most of our products.
Can I continue to use my existing perpetual licences?
Can I continue to use and renew my maintenance plan for my existing perpetual licence?

5.2 How do these changes affect Education customers?
Autodesk has stopped selling perpetual licences of most products. The purchase of new licences is now available only by subscription. In addition, the option to crossgrade to any of the affected products was discontinued when we stopped selling new perpetual licences.
Autodesk has introduced an intuitive new language that will drive clarity and simplicity in our subscription offerings. Essentially, we have done away with subscription branding in order to make it easier for you to choose and purchase the software solutions that best fit your business needs.
Autodesk made this change in order to transition to subscription-based products, which offers customers a lower entry price, greater choice of tools and the ability to pay-as-you-go. With its shift away from selling perpetual rights to using a specific version of software, Autodesk plans to continually innovate and improve its products & services, more tightly integrate them with cloud services, allow access from multiple devices at any time*, make them easier to deploy and manage and reduce file compatibility issues.
No, it doesn't. Existing perpetual licences are still valid. You retain your perpetual software licence and can continue to use it in accordance with your perpetual licence agreement. If the software product is covered by a maintenance plan, you will also continue to receive maintenance benefits.
If you are currently on a maintenance plan, you will retain the option to renew your maintenance plans for the affected products and receive corresponding benefits for as long as you want. The end-of-sale of perpetual licences only impacts the ability to purchase new perpetual licences.
Providing the time needed to assess options and make plans by providing as much advance notice of the changes to come as possible.
Customers can continue to renew their maintenance plans for as long as they want and receive/access maintenance benefits.
Autodesk Account will provide a single place to manage all of your products, subscriptions and services.
Providing the ability to lock in your subscription rate with the option of multi-year term lengths.
Separately purchased cloud-based offerings, such as BIM 360, PLM 360 and Fusion 360, are not impacted. Cloud services that are included as a benefit of your maintenance plan or subscription will continue to be included in those offerings.
1.9 Will I be able to purchase a network activation for an existing perpetual licences now that Autodesk is no longer selling perpetual licences?
No. You will no longer be able to convert a stand-alone perpetual licence to a shared network licence for any perpetual licences that are no longer being sold. If you need new or additional shared network licences, you can purchase a subscription with multi-user access. This can be done for individual products or a collection of products.
Desktop software applications on subscription, as well as associated user data, continue to be stored on your local machine. Cloud service applications are run from the cloud; where you store your data, on the cloud or your local machine, is up to you.
Autodesk offers the following options, allowing you to choose which best fits your needs.
If you have an active subscription, you may have access to preceding version licences of eligible Autodesk software. For more details, please reference Autodesk Subscription Preceding Version Rights Eligibility on the Autodesk Knowledge Network.
For details on availability, please contact your Authorised Autodesk Reseller or Autodesk Sales Representative.
A maintenance plan ensures a perpetual licence holder receives benefits such as access to the latest software and product enhancements, technical support and in some cases, access to select cloud services while they keep their plan current. A maintenance plan agreement must be applied to a separately purchased perpetual licence.
If you currently have a maintenance plan, you will continue enjoying the benefits of maintenance as long as you continue to renew. For the products listed in Question 1.2 above, it is important to renew your maintenance plan on time to continue to access the benefits.

The 1932 NFL season was the 13th regular season of the National Football League. The Boston Braves (the current Washington Redskins) joined the NFL before the season, whereas the loss of the Providence Steam Roller, Cleveland Indians and Frankford Yellow Jackets dropped league membership to eight teams, the lowest in NFL history; the league also had eight teams in 1943 due to World War II.
Although the Green Bay Packers finished the season with 10 wins, the league title was determined at the time by winning percentage with ties excluded, so the Portsmouth Spartans and the Chicago Bears finished the season tied for first place (6–1). Since both games between the teams ended in ties, the NFL arranged for the first ever playoff game to determine the NFL champion.
Extremely cold weather forced the game to be moved from Wrigley Field to the indoor Chicago Stadium. The makeshift football field in the stadium was only 80 yards long with undersized endzones, forcing officials to move the goal posts to the goal line due to a lack of space to put them at the back of the end zone, as was standard in college and professional football. This change was favored by players and fans, and the goal posts were moved to the goal line as one of several rule changes the league made in 1933, with the rule lasting until 1973.
The Bears won the playoff game 9–0, which was scoreless until the fourth quarter, and as the game counted in the final standings, the Spartans finished in third place. The Spartans became the Detroit Lions in 1934.
Because the Portsmouth Spartans and the Chicago Bears finished the season tied for first place, a playoff game was held to determine the NFL champion.
The league decreased to eight teams in 1932.
Following the 1932 season, the NFL would be split into two divisions (later two conferences), with the champions of each meeting in a championship game.
This was the result of the end of the 1932 season, where there was a tie for first in the standings at the end of the regular season: as tied games did not count until 1972, the Spartans record of 6–1–4 and the Bears record of 6–1–6 were taken to be six wins, one loss, giving both an .857 win percentage.
Had pure win-loss differential or the current (post-1972) system of counting ties as half a win, half a loss been in place in 1932, the Packers' record of 10–3–1 (.750, +7) would have won them a fourth consecutive championship, ahead of the Spartans' 6–1–4 (.727, +5) and the Bears' 6–1–6 (.692, +5).
The Green Bay Packers were unbeaten (8–0–1) after nine games, and after the Thanksgiving weekend, their 10–1–1 record (.909) was still well ahead of Portsmouth at 5–1–4 (.833) and Chicago at 4–1–6 (.800).
In Week Twelve (December 4), the Spartans handed the Packers a 19–0 defeat, while the Bears beat the Giants 6–0. Portsmouth, at 6–1–4 (.857), took the lead, while the Packers (10–2–1) and the Bears (5–1–6) were tied for second (.833).
In Week Thirteen, the Bears hosted the Packers; a Green Bay win would have the Packers finish second with an 11–2–1 record (.846) and hand Portsmouth their first ever title. The Bears beat the Packers 9–0, meaning they finished 6–1–6, and tied for first in the standings with Portsmouth.
Though it was described as a "playoff", the Bears 9–0 win over Portsmouth on December 18 counted in the regular season standings. As such, the Bears finished at 7–1–6 (.875) and won the 1932 title, with the Packers runners-up, and the Spartans, at 6–2–4 (.750), finished third.
Kenneth "Ken" R. Wendt (January 29, 1910 – January 19, 1982) was an American football player, jurist, and politician.
Wendt was a guard for the Chicago Cardinals of the National Football League in 1932. He then served in the Illinois General Assembly and as a judge in Cook County, Illinois.
The National Football League champions, prior to the merger between the National Football League (NFL) and American Football League (AFL) in 1970, were determined by two different systems. The National Football League was established on September 17, 1920, as the American Professional Football Association (APFA). The APFA changed its name in 1922 to the National Football League, which it has retained ever since.From 1921 to 1931, the APFA/NFL determined its champion by overall win–loss record, with no playoff games; ties were not counted in the winning percentage total. The APFA did not keep records of the 1920 season; they declared the Akron Pros, who finished the season with an 8–0–3 (8 wins, 0 losses, 3 ties) record, as the league's first champions, by a vote of the owners, with the Buffalo-All Americans and Decatur Staleys also claiming the title. According to modern-tie breaking rules, the Buffalo All-Americans tied Akron for the championship. The Canton Bulldogs won two straight championships from 1922 to 1923, and the Green Bay Packers won three in a row from 1929 to 1931.There also has been controversy over the championshipships of the 1921 APFA season and the 1925 NFL season, with the Buffalo All-Americans laying claim to another championship in an incident known as the "Staley Swindle" and the Pottsville Maroons being stripped of their championship in 1925 for playing an exhibition game against college football powerhouse Notre Dame's famed Four Horsemen, leading to a last minute field goal victory for the Maroons, stunning the crowd and nation, and also put the NFL ahead of college football for the first time ever. These three disputed championships contributed to the beginning of the NFL's rich history.
The 1932 NFL season resulted in a tie for first place between the Chicago Bears and Portsmouth Spartans, and could not be resolved by the typical win–loss system. To settle the tie, a playoff game was played; Chicago won the game and the championship. The following year, the NFL split into two divisions, and the winner of each division would play in the NFL Championship Game. In 1967, the NFL and the rival AFL agreed to merge, effective following the 1969 season; as part of this deal, the NFL champion from 1966 to 1969 would play the AFL champion in an AFL–NFL World Championship Game in each of the four seasons before the completed merger. The NFL Championship Game was ended after the 1969 season, succeeded by the NFC Championship Game. The champions of that game play the champions of the AFC Championship Game in the Super Bowl to determine the NFL champion.The Green Bay Packers won the most NFL championships before the merger, winning eleven of the fifty championships. The Packers were also the only team to win three straight championships, an achievement they accomplished twice: from 1929–31 and from 1965–67. The Chicago Bears won a total of eight titles, and the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, and New York Giants each won four. The Bears recorded the largest victory in a championship game, defeating the Washington Redskins 73–0 in the 1940 NFL Championship Game; six other title games ended in a shutout as well. The Philadelphia Eagles recorded two consecutive shutouts in 1948 and 1949. New York City hosted the most championship games (eight), while the highest-attended title game was the 1955 NFL Championship Game, where 85,693 fans showed up in Los Angeles to watch the Browns beat the Rams 38–14.
Staten Island () is one of the five boroughs of New York City, in the U.S. state of New York. Located in the southwest portion of the city, the borough is separated from New Jersey by the Arthur Kill and the Kill Van Kull and from the rest of New York by New York Bay. With an estimated population of 479,458 in 2017, Staten Island is the least populated of the boroughs but is the third-largest in land area at 58.5 sq mi (152 km2). The borough also contains the southern-most point in the state, South Point.
The borough is coextensive with Richmond County and until 1975 was referred to as the Borough of Richmond. Staten Island has sometimes been called "the forgotten borough" by inhabitants who feel neglected by the city government.The North Shore—especially the neighborhoods of St. George, Tompkinsville, Clifton and Stapleton—is the most urban part of the island; it contains the designated St. George Historic District and the St. Paul's Avenue-Stapleton Heights Historic District, which feature large Victorian houses. The East Shore is home to the 2.5-mile (4 km) F.D.R. Boardwalk, the fourth-longest boardwalk in the world. The South Shore, site of the 17th-century Dutch and French Huguenot settlement, developed rapidly beginning in the 1960s and 1970s and is now mostly suburban in character. The West Shore is the least populated and most industrial part of the island. | 2019-04-23T16:30:55Z | https://howlingpixel.com/i-en/1932_NFL_season |
In the past 11 months, Mauti has had to rely on his words unlike any other time in his life. Penn State’s leading tackler went from being a quiet, unquestioned leader to a harsh-talking student representative nearly overnight.
When a scandal and the ensuing fallout threatened to tear apart his team, all Mauti could fight back with were his words.
To Penn State fans, Michael Mauti was unknown in 2008.
His dad, Rich, had played for the Nittany Lions and went on to his own successful run in the NFL. His brother, Patrick, was a junior on the Nittany Lions. The youngest Mauti was just the new kid — Pat’s little brother — in the No. 42 jersey.
He introduced himself eight games into the season. With Michigan in town and threatening to take a two-possession lead at Beaver Stadium, Mauti flew down the field on kickoff coverage in the first quarter and exploded into Michigan return man Sam McGuffie.
The football popped free, and although the Wolverines recovered it, a psychological blow had been dealt. The packed stadium was rocking and the Penn State sideline drew sudden inspiration from Mauti’s jackhammer hit.
The Nittany Lions then rattled off 39 unanswered points to secure a 46-17 win.
It took a hit of that caliber to spark a young Mauti’s love of the game.
Although Rich Mauti played seven seasons in the NFL, he wouldn’t let his sons step on a football field until they were in seventh grade. In Michael’s case, he didn’t start playing until eighth grade.
It didn’t take long for the youngest Mauti to be put off by football.
So Mauti, the smallest kid on the team, let the season play out. Soon, an unwilling participant became the fiercest of competitors on the freshman team at Mandeville (La.) High School.
He started the season as a quarterback but soon found himself making plays on kickoff coverage.
It’s not that Mauti intends to injure opponents. He plays within the rules. But he won’t deny that football is a violent game and being the player to initiate contact is Mauti’s specialty.
If an opponent remembers Mauti’s number after a hit and has second thoughts about touching the football for the rest of the game, Mauti’s made a huge impact by his own standards.
“The feeling of the hit. The feeling of delivering a blow, it’s just — There’s something about it,” Mauti said.
It was the worst feeling of his playing career — laying on his back on the Beaver Stadium grass, staring up at a blue sky knowing it was happening all over again.
Mauti had torn an anterior cruciate ligament before, so he knew pretty quickly when his left leg buckled during the first quarter of the 2011 Eastern Illinois game that his left leg was shot before he even hit the ground.
After sutting out the entire 2009 season concentrating on rehabilitating his right knee, Mauti came back with a vengeance in 2010. He finished fifth on the team with 57 tackles.
An expanded on-field role would have to wait, however, following the early season injury to his left knee last season.
Mauti got luckier the second time around. When he was injured in 2009, he contracted a nasty case of strep throat. He lost nearly 30 pounds and couldn’t eat normally for weeks. Last fall, Mauti was able to stay relatively healthy except for the knee injury. He was able to concentrate on healing after his surgery and took a better approach to his rehab having gone through it just months before.
Then-defensive coordinator Tom Bradley wanted to keep his star linebacker involved with day-to-day operations. So Mauti became an extra coach, going so far as to call the majority of the defenses in the TicketCity Bowl after Bradley was promoted to interim head coach.
It helped having counsel from former Nittany Lions such as Jerome Hayes, Brennan Coakley and Sean Lee - who had been in Mauti’s situation, battling back from knee injuries.
Beyond two major knee injuries, Mauti has racked up the bumps and bruises one would expect of a brute who plays every snap with reckless abandon, thriving on collisions.
Mauti appeared in 11 games in 2010 and wouldn’t let a sprained ankle suffered against Iowa or a separated shoulder courtesy of Ohio State to keep him away from football.
Mauti learned over a tumultuous summer that he could take on an even greater role for a squad desperately in need of vocal leader.
When the NCAA came down on Penn State with a four-year bowl ban to go along with a $60 million fine and serious scholarship reductions, Mauti and teammate Michael Zordich got together with a plan to combat the NCAA’s harshest penalty.
The sanctions gave any Penn State player a free chance to transfer out of the program without giving up a year of eligibility. Some chose to do just that, and other college programs began contacting Penn State players, some even coming to campus on recruiting trips.
Mauti and Zordich took it personally. The duo made their way to Coach Bill O’Brien after the NCAA penalties were announced, and the next day made a statement outside of the team’s practice complex that Penn State players would stick together.
For the most part, the Nittany Lions have.
Mauti said he was honored to eulogize Joe Paterno at a memorial service following the longtime coach’s death in January. Speaking last in a line of players, each representing a decade Paterno in which coached, Mauti took to the lectern in the Bryce Jordan Center with no notes and spoke from the heart.
He told the story of his initial recruitment. Mauti’s family didn’t expect him to commit on the spot to Paterno, but that’s what happened. Mauti remembered Paterno giving him flack for getting kicked out of a drill for fighting as a freshman.
“‘Hey, your dad used to act like he was tough, too, trying to fight people all the time,’” Mauti said in his best high-pitched impression of Paterno.
Pat Fitzgerald’s eyes are trained to watch football and immediately evaluate.
When the Northwestern coach dissects an opposing team’s defense, his eyes go to the linebackers first. Fitzgerald, himself a college football hall of famer who played the position, sees no weaknesses in Mauti’s game.
Mauti won’t dwell on his past. He won’t allow the fear of being injured to creep into his mind.
He won’t let the negative white noise, the criticism of his team or school by outside talking heads, distract him. Like he did this summer, when other coaches were on Penn State’s campus, looking to lure Nittany Lion players way, Mauti will give them an earful. He’ll do everything in his power to keep opposing coaches away.
If that means he has to talk, so be it. Mauti said he would rather hit someone between the sidelines.
He’ll throw himself into Northwestern players with explosive zeal. He’ll get up off the pile of players and high step his way back to the Penn State sideline.
Mimicking his big-hit celebration at his seat in the Lasch Football Building, Mauti bounces both of his legs simultaneously so his knees come up above the table where he’s sitting.
Mauti’s presence is heavily requested these days. He does this interview, then he’s got to get going.
“For me, I’ve got nothing to lose, man,” he says. “I’m just playing every play like it’s my last.
“For all I know it could be taken away on any play. | 2019-04-24T00:16:50Z | https://www.centredaily.com/sports/college/penn-state-university/psu-football/article42809967.html |

Upon review, it sounds like the same guy who screamed "Two Little Hitlers" about 1 second prior to the start of Almost Blue. Wildly inappropriate and not a plant IMO.
Thanks doc. I always trust my instinct. I knew it was split second decision that he started to play it.
I say all those dorks should shut the heck up and enjoy what gets played.
I don't mind the requests, but sometimes the timing is awful, like the Two Little Hitlers moment.

Yeah, well, NOTHING went wrong that night. A superb top ten show....for the ages, night two Carnegie!!
The "Two Little Hitlers" guy was the balcony, or maybe way in the back on the floor. The "Welcome to the Working Week" was in row CC, maybe seat 110. I saw him. I could probably pick him out of a line-up.
I wasn't suggesting the guy was plant. Just that his convoluted shout-out wasn't the first or only way his request was communicated to EC. He actually said something like, "It's Sunday, Elvis, so welcome us to the working week." I didn't really understand what he'd said until EC started playing the song. I can't believe EC would have been able to parse it, cold, from 20 feet away, over the rest of the crowd noise. But he went right into the song without so much as a "Huh?"
Interesting. You were definitely closer to the source than me.
Lisa's face lit up just now when I played this, with goose bumps ensuing. Good times.
Paraphrasing W.C. Fields in A Fatal Glass of Beer, last Wednesday night (March 7) in Brooklyn and much of the nor’easter-wracked Eastern seaboard wasn’t a fit night out for man or beast. But Elvis Costello & The Imposters rose to the occasion for the many hearty souls who still braved the elements for the first of four New York area shows (Port Chester’s Capitol Theatre hosted the next three, last Thursday, Friday and Sunday nights).
Taking the stage to the perfect choice of Rosemary Clooney’s “Snow,” Elvis & Co.. were on fire from the get-go, rattling off an initial volley of front-loaded favorites (“Wonder Woman,” “Girls Talk,” “Big Tears,” “Miracle Man,” Radio Radio” and “This is Hell”) with such blazing abandon that drummer Pete Thomas seemed on the verge of spontaneously combusting at any moment.
But it wasn’t just the band that was scorching. For his last few tours Costello has brought along two terrific backup vocalists in Briana Lee and Kitten Kuroi, and in these shows he’s really integrated them into the set masterfully, particularly the second half, following the band’s departure after “I Want You.” The gals stayed on and stepped over with Costello to a single microphone set up at the front of the stage, crowding him from both sides as they all sang “Alison” to his acoustic guitar accompaniment, the inspired trio turning into a three-way love fest by song’s end.
From there they followed Costello to keyboardist Steve “The Professor” Nieve’s vacant grand piano, maestro himself tickling the ivories as he sang “A Face in the Crowd,” Lee and Kuroi backing him on the title song of his hoped-for Broadway musical based on Elia Kazan’s 1957 film classic starring Andy Griffith and Patricia Neal.
Rather than coming off corny, it was truly affecting, so much so that a good many in the crowd responded in kind. And to top it all off, Costello announced that despite the declining consumer interest in the album format, he and The Imposters have in fact completed a new one for release later this year.
That reminds me of the Brodsky Quartet show at Town Hall in New York back in 93. Elvis announced the last number and my buddy yelled out "Jacksons Monk and Rowe" really loudly and they played the song again. So much fun. | 2019-04-24T20:51:31Z | http://www.elviscostellofans.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11116&p=7734523 |

CAPTCHAs are the annoying puzzles that might ask you to rewrite a piece of distorted text or click on all the automobiles in a photograph to log on to sites like PayPal. According to research published today in Science, a new type of AI was able to solve certain types of CAPTCHA with up to 66.6 percent accuracy. To put this in perspective, humans can solve the same type of CAPTCHA with about 87 percent accuracy due to multiple interpretations of some examples and a CAPTCHA is considered broken if a bot can pass it 1 percent of the time. | 2019-04-21T18:43:55Z | http://www.jasonejohnson.com/2017/10/a-new-ai-can-solve-captchas.html |

Our 725-BN is comparable to Moen's S6500BB faucet by its function and form. Both faucets are covered by a lifetime warranty, and are ADA approved. However, they differ in price.

Making homemade jellies and jams is one of my favorite thing to do when fresh fruit comes into season. Strawberries wild and cultivated are in season here and I just could not resist a large sale that featured strawberries at a local market. Strawberry Jam is one of the easiest jams to make and is almost fool-proof.
I would love to have a strawberry bed in the near future but for now I have bought mine. So in about 1 hour 30 minutes, I made enough jam to feed my family for the rest of the year. The total cost for making Strawberry Jam was about 8$ compared to 17$ dollars if you pay 3 dollars a jar for store-bought Jam.I am hoping that next time I can drop the cost to 3$ dollars when I can raise my own berries.
Following the Ball Blue Book canning guide you will need 2 quarts or 8 cups crushed clean fresh strawberries. I bought 5 pounds of strawberries and used about 3 pounds to get 8 cups of crushed strawberries. 7 cups of sugar, 1/4 cup lemon juice and 6 Tablespoons Ball Classic Pectin. This is one whole jar of powdered pectin. 1 to 2 tablespoons butter if needed to reduce foaming.
You will need 8 half pint jars ( we call them jelly jars) with lids and rings I always get two extra ready also. A boiling water canner with enough boiling water to cover the tops of you jars with 1 to 2 inches of water.You will need a potato masher to make the crushed fruit, a jar lifter, funnel and a ladle. One large dutch oven or stock pot for cooking the jam in. I like to wear rubber gloves to protect my hands from the boiling hot jam but you can skip it if you are careful.
After washing jars lids and rings, sterilize the jars either in the microwave or in the boiling water of the canner. I boil my lids and rings separately in a small sauce pan that I keep very hot until ready to us. Remove from sterile jars from canner or microwave and place on a towel to cool and dry.
In large stock pot add the 2 quarts of smashed berries, lemon juice and classic pectin mix together well. Bring to a boil, stirring to keep from scorching. Add sugar to pot and stir until sugar dissolved. Return to a rolling boil, one that will not stop when stirred. Boil one minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat add one teaspoon of butter if jam is foamy on top. Mix in well and skim top of Jam to remove foamy skin. Ladle hot jam into clean jars leaving about 1/4 of inch of headspace.Be careful to not to burn yourself on hot syrup. Clean top rim of jar to remove any leftover fruit or juice adding lid and adjust ring. Process 10 minutes in boiling water canner. Remove from hot water and let completely cool check rings and tighten if needed and store for up to one year.
Jars loaded into canner to process 10 minutes. No pressure needed.
In the end I finished the morning with 9 half pint jars of jam and still had a few strawberries left over for strawberry rhubarb jam also. I grow rhubarb so I made a small batch of Jam with the leftover berries and three stalks of rhubarb.They all tasted great and will keep us thinking of summer all winter long. | 2019-04-26T02:04:06Z | https://westvirginiamountainmama.com/tag/jam/ |

On Friday, 9th September, 2011 I left England with my brother Ken and a friend, John, for a cycling trip in the south of France. Basing ourselves at the little village of Bagneres de Bigorre, in the Pyrenees quite close to the border with Spain, we spent a week cycling some of the mountain passes made famous by the Tour de France.
Part Three of this trip report, which includes cycling the Col du Soulor, the Col d’Aubisque and the Col d’Aspin, can be found under the Cycling Tab above.

Follow Up to, When a Seller's Disclosure Statement is Not Truthful - Posternock & Apell, PC.
Our recent newsletter entitled, “When A Seller’s Disclosure Statement Is Not Truthful”, garnered a lot of attention. In fact, it led to several in-person presentations to local realtor groups on this critical topic. In light of that, we thought you would find more “discussion” helpful.
Williams v. Chase Home Finance LLC: Plaintiffs commenced this action in connection with their purchase of a home from defendants Chase Home Financial, LaSalle Bank National Association, and EMO Mortgage Corp. Sellers were aided in the sale of the foreclosed property by realtors NJ REO Asset Management & Realty, Inc. and Ralph Barone, also joined as defendants. Plaintiffs allege the property’s Multiple Listing Service (MLS) listing, specifically its water sewer description, constituted an affirmative misrepresentation in violation of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act (CFA). Plaintiffs claimed that in September 2009, after reviewing the listing and assuming the water sewer description meant the property had “started out on [a] septic system” but had later been connected to “the public sewer”, they purchased the home for $75,000 without conducting a title search or obtaining any inspections of the property. The contract and incorporated addenda confirmed that the property was being sold as is. After taking title, plaintiffs discovered that the property was not linked to the public sewer system and its septic tank was defunct. The court observed that, despite listing description’s ambiguity, plaintiffs’ claim ignores the listing’s unambiguous disclaimer, which declared the “[i]nformation reliable but not guaranteed.” Because nothing in the listing or contract of sale could be viewed as a false representation, the appellate panel affirmed the dismissal of plaintiffs’ claims.
Chalk one up for the good guys (and gals)!
(b) Is the attorney an agent for the Seller/Buyer?
Zennario v. Ragulin: a Seller filed a lawsuit against defendant buyers alleging breach of contract and seeking compensatory damages based on the purchase price ($230,000) of the property set forth in the parties’ contract less the sale price ($190,000) later obtained, together with the additional costs ($12,831.44) incurred by seller in maintaining the property in the interim. Buyers filed a counterclaim, alleging breach of contract, fraud in the inducement, and misrepresentation. Buyers moved for dismissal, asserting seller’s failure to respond to their earlier small claims complaint seeking the return of their deposit barred seller’s assertion of the claims in this action. Seller was not named as a party to the small claims lawsuit, which resulted in buyers obtaining a default judgment against the listed real estate agent. The judge denied buyer’s motion to dismiss, and at the conclusion of a bench trial, found in seller’s favor, awarding $52,831.44 in damages. The judge found buyers’ testimony that their attorney was not authorized to make his response pertaining to a flood zone issue during attorney review was not credible, and that a binding contract was validly formed during attorney review. The appellate panel rejected buyers’ arguments that: (1) there was no meeting of the minds regarding the property’s location in a flood zone; (2) plaintiff breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (3) there was a mutual mistake of fact; (4) the contract did not survive the attorney review period; and (5) the action is barred by the entire controversy doctrine.
This ruling has application to you, particularly due to our “South Jersey” way of doing things. In such a setting you have constant involvement in communications of legal significance, and, thus, the agency issue may be paramount in future disagreements about who said what and when, and, importantly, whether you were authorized to do so. 20/20 hindsight can be a slippery slope. Document your files. Save (and print) your emails. Do not rely on your memory.
Did you know that the standard disclosure statement includes the below language in your acknowledgment?
The Seller’s real estate broker/broker-salesperson/salesperson also confirms that he or she visually inspected the property with reasonable diligence to ascertain the accuracy of the information disclosed by the seller, prior to providing a copy of the property disclosure statement to the buyer.
It’s known as the safe harbour provision of New Jersey’s Consumer Fraud Act. If you have a question about it, email me at [email protected]. In case you missed it, read the original article here: “When a Seller’s Disclosure Statement Is Not Truthful”. | 2019-04-24T09:08:50Z | https://www.posternockapell.com/blog/sellers-disclosure-statement-truthful-continued/ |

I want my Artic Cub to grow up. The starting units are like my best friends and not watching them do well is depressing. So just for the starting units maybe giving them some staying power would be nice cause they are so cool.
This next idea isn't mind, but something I read from the forum or something about making a random or custom sorcerer king model different or everything you played the sorcerer king would be different class or something different tricks ect. As well as changing the commander's he uses.
I'd like to see a rebalance of some of the starting parties, at least. Especially for Naphaz, who I'm pretty sure has the weakest starting group. Poor Zurn is literally just a third of a Bound Trog unit, and dies if someone sneezes on him too hard. | 2019-04-24T12:26:27Z | https://forums.sorcererking.com/471380/page/1/ |

Getting a steady flow of readers and traffic is important to all bloggers. Readers are the life of every blog.
They are the main reason why the blog was created in the first place. Failing to have a good number of readers is also a failure for the blogger too.
However, there are many methods that can help you attract more blog readers. One of the ways to do this is to use different blog content formats.
The most common format used in blogs is text. Blog posts usually are 500-word articles. These may be filled with information or opinion depending on the blogger.
However, a blog filled with nothing but text can be a tad bit boring to some people. This is why you have to write in such a way that you engage the reader in the conversation. | 2019-04-25T00:35:35Z | https://www.blogbrandz.com/tips/tag/writing-blogs/ |
Extremely rare 1968-69 Ampeg Fretless AMUB-1 Scroll Bass. This bass had a new truss rod and the finger board replaced approx. 4 years ago by Bruce Johnson in Burbank Ca. Bruce is the only person authorized by Ampeg to do actual reproductions of these guitars. The neck is dead on perfect and plays incredible. Finding one of these basses, especially with the original big “a” chrome bridge cover plate, is very rare. This bass plays excellent and has incredible tone unlike anything you’ve ever heard. You may occasionally find an AEB-1 bass on ebay but the AMUB-1’s were a much better built bass with a vast improvement on the pickup system. For more information on these basses go to http://www.xstrange.com/amb1.html Total production on the AMUB-1 was approx. 200 and the fretless basses were the lowest production of these. | 2019-04-26T05:00:52Z | http://bestinbassguitars.com/category/vintage-ampeg-fretless-scroll-bass/ |

The first and most difficult challenge ferrari always faces when it decides to develop a new model is to push the boundaries of its own achievements yet again. This challenge is made all the tougher when the task at hand involves designing a new 12-cylinder engine, the power unit that hailed the start of the glorious prancing horse story over 70 years ago in 1947. On this occasion, intensive research and development focused on exploiting ferrari's wealth of track-derived engineering know-how has produced the 812 superfast, designed to offer its drivers both benchmark performance across the board and the most riveting and rewarding driving experience possible. Customer response to it was unbelievable with in a matter of weeks all the U.K's allocation for the next 2 and half years had sold out, with many seeing this car as the last pure V12 to leave the gates of Maranello.
Like all new Ferrari this car is supplied with the balance of its 4 year warranty and 7 year service pack.
This car is offered for sale with its original book pack, car cover, battery charger and tool set, along with 2 keys.

An international project with its roots very much planted back here in New Zealand – Activist Manuka is a new Manuka honey brand founded by LA-based New Zealand couple Luke Harwood and Gabrielle Mirkin.
Returning to America, the couple settled in beachside California, and began work on starting their own honey company.
The name – Activist – not only derives from the active natural antibacterial properties of the Manuka, but is also nod to New Zealand’s proud history of activism, paying respect to those who dedicate their lives standing for something they believe in.
(Doing good by doing good – you guys know that’s one of my fave things).
They enlisted the branding prowess of their friend and fellow Cali-based New Zealand, Art Director Fred L’Ami. The brand also features beautiful New Zealand imagery from another friend, fine art and documentary photographer Derek Henderson.
My US readers (I see you there on Google Analytics!) – contact Luke and Gabrielle at Activist to find the closest stockist in your area. New Zealanders, Activist is available here exclusively from Simon James Design at this stage.
Chris Lim has had a passion for fragrance for as long as he can remember. As a young child, he was captivated by his mother and aunty’s perfume collections, and at 17, he started working for high end fragrance brands. They say it takes 10,000 hours / 10 years to achieve mastery in a field – at just 35, Chris Lim is a master of fragrance design.
His New Zealand-based brand, Maraca, sits in the home fragrance category but takes it up a notch – all Maraca’s fragrances are developed in a Parisian perfumery, uses only premium natural oils. When you smell the jasmine in Maraca’s Velvet Noir candle, you’re smelling oil from a jasmine flower grown in Egypt, not a synthetic copycat.
Maraca fragrances are also incredibly technical and compositionally complex, which means you get to discover and experience different layers throughout the burn. Chris will tell you, he doesn’t just want something to smell nice – he wants to tell you a story. The Sevillian Neroli, for example, was inspired by a trip to the historic Jardines del Generalife in Alhambra, Spain, and Chris aims to transport you there with him – recreating the famous gardens’ ambiance during the warmth of summer. The citrus bouquet has eleven different notes, to take you on a sensory journey. There’s a sister scent from that same trip, this one green, leafy and earthy in contrast, to evoke the heady scent the garden has in autumn and winter. Yeah, so no ‘Coconut & Lime’ here guys. Each fragrance takes many, many months to realise – the Sevillian Neroli took a full year of iterations and development.
All Maraca products are made and packaged here in New Zealand, and sold internationally.
I got a lovely surprise this week when one of the beautiful Sans [ceuticals] Alchemy of Giving kits arrived at my house… but I would’ve shared them with you even if I hadn’t, because I love everything about this local-gone-global brand: its incredible soft-minimalist packaging; its realistic, woman-celebrating, self-nourishing representation of beauty; its founder (inspiring New Zealand beauty industry pioneer and businesswoman Lucy Marr); and most importantly its results-focused formulations, each one developed in collaboration with NZ’s best scientists to be superbly effective and multi-functional, while still being sans (it’s French for without) harmful, non-sustainable ingredients.
Lucy has created five special Alchemy of Giving kits (in the most delicious colour palette – russet and blush pink) with the concept that you can offer more than presents, but presence with a loved one. Each one is accompanied by a step by step ritual that invites you to give them (or yourself!) the gift of your time and touch – a head massage, reflexology or hair treatment.
I also wanted to mention Sans’ new 48-hr Reset Kit too… because the best gift you can give all year is a little time-out for yourself to reset and restore. This kit gives you all the tools for two days of gentle, joyous self-care and rejuvenation, including a range of Sans products, a guide to specific daily rituals and pamper rituals, beautiful recipes to make during your 48 hour reset, and a list of inspirational documentaries, podcasts, books, films, and Sans music playlists.
You can buy someone you love (that includes you, you’re amazing) a Sans Kit here. | 2019-04-21T04:19:52Z | http://www.thenew.nz/category/design-lead-brands/page/2/ |

What actions might be needed to jump start the tourism industry in Pohnpei?
I believe much has been said about this topic in the past. However, I'd like to bring it up again; so that we can have a new and fresh look at it again. I hope those who are in the know about this subject matter--would contribute to this discussion.
First, tour operators used to say that Pohnpei airport was too short for charter flights. Well, the airport was extended several years ago with financial assistance and technical assistance from Japan.
Second, others use to complain that there is not enough room. Well, there is a new couple of storey hotel building in town. We probably have over 300 rooms available--more or less--Cliff, Ocean View, the new Hotel, Joy and others.
1. If there is already a serious and comprehensive report on how to start the tourism industry in Pohnpei, I am asking anybody to let us know; so that we can read it and update it; or take some actions accordingly.
2. I am assuming that a complete and good report does not exist. As such, let me offer some ideas: a) a tourism market analyst should look at the resources that Pohnpei has to offer; and b) determine whether they could attract certain type of tourists from China or Korea or Japan or America or Europe or where.
3. The question is whether at least one charter flight could be arranged from either Japan, Korea or China per week? If we start with that assumption, what are the necessary actions to take in order to accomodate the planes requirements; and to accomodate the tourists; and make them occupied or happy or contented for at least 3 days; before they return home.
These are my initial comments and suggestions for now. Is it possible or not to have a modest number of tourists to come to Pohnpei consistently--every week--for a whole year at a time? If possible, then, we should go for it. Any other observations and suggestions would be appreciated.
The public could give the Pohnpei Visitors’ Bureau a big pay raise and a bigger round of applause. If not, then try the opposite or something else, but don’t do nothing and expect something. For example, the US national debt was doubled; the jobs were going over-seas; so the Americans tried a different approach to the problem. They elected a billionaire CEO instead of the customary career politician. Like the idiom goes, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” So they tried someone very different from your ordinary politician. Of course, the world is still full of insane people, who demand the usual approach to a growing problem. But that's another topic.
Anyway, that is my two cents and I hope you would appreciate it, like you said that you would. There is much left unsaid about the complex issue of tourism. Other Micronesians should contribute in this discussion, rather than in those they detest.
So I heard that for Guam tourism, the Korean tourists are known to prefer smaller hotels, not the fancy big ones. And they also don't spend as much. On the other hand, the Japanese tourism prefer to stay in the large hotels; and do spend a lot per visitor. Whether this distinction is related to the tourist promoters who are linked the particular hotels, it'll be good to know. It's not good to make such generalizations. I don't know what can be said of the Chinese tourists or US tourists or Russian tourist.
I think if we really want to try to develop Pohnpei tourism, we need, first of all, to understand such preferences of the different groups as tourism targets; and at the same time, we need to know if Pohnpei can provide what the particular group would find as contributing to their positive tourism experience. So this is the basic principle of business an marketing analysis; and is needed before we can begin to design the tourism program and promotion.
So that is my first recommendation. Just some thoughts on this nice and noisy New Year's day--Jan. 1, 2019.
First and foremost Tourism critically require CLEANLINESS! Our Environment must be presentably clean without artificial rubbish. Our Air, Ocean, Rivers, streams, shores and riversides must be clean. Appropriate infrastructure must also be in place. Build it and they will come. We must invest heavily into advertisements locally and globally. Preserve our Customs and Traditions. Not what is happening today where the Tourist would come and see the traditional Leaders sitting infront in Western clothing. For Pohnpei this is what it needs for Tourism to move forward.
Did you say that we need clean up our environment and rake our yards? Well, I'll be damned! Trump was right all along!
So I am looking for a tourism study that shows and analyzes the "segmentation" of the potential tourism targets. Tourism, like any product lines--such as soft drink, beer, food products--could be more understood if a "marketing study" shows the segmentation of the potential market including desirable and undesirable behaviors; spending patterns; tolerance for long flights; desire for shopping vs. visiting cultural sites; duration of vacation days per different groups; what would constitute a happy tourist; etc., etc.
Needless to say, once you understand your potential customers--it'll be easier to improve the sites where the tourists would visits; etc., etc.,. So the question is this: does Pohnpei have the basic assets that could be developed or improved--so that the different segments of the tourism population could be attracted to visit?
Tourism matters. Don’t count the US out. We have A LOT of eco-tourists who snorkel and dive. Does FSM have the logistical capability of handling 300 avid snorkelers and divers at a time? Protect the mangroves and reefs; without them you will be left with a deserted ocean.
Is it possible to Charter a non-stop flight out of Los Angeles? If so then running ads in the diving and adventure magazines might allow you to fill those planes. Sundays out of LA and back on Saturdays would allow connections to be made to any destination in the US; with the folks leaving their offices on a Friday and returning to work on a Monday. Perhaps use the planes for domestic flights during the week. Does Yap and Chuck have airports large enough to handle those kinds of aircraft?
Beyond tourism: FSM has one of the largest exclusive economic zones on the planet.
I can imagine as a small country your fish and ocean resources are being exploited with very little return to FSM itself. The fishing boats should be flagged in FSM. The workers on the boats should be Micronesian, the processing plants should be Micronesian; and those ocean resources should be closely monitored and aggressively protected. I know how this world works; I am confident you are receiving a few pennies on the dollar of economic return.
What percentage of capital outflow is represented in diesel fuel imports for energy production? Given topography and climate that is about as big a waste as I can imagine. Given your cost of energy; tidal, solar, and wind could be gold plated and still be more profitable than diesel generation. But more imporantly it would stem the hemorage of capital those imports represent.
Capitalize your own banks and businesses. That single action would probably be the second most effective way in stemming capital outflow and encouraging capital formation.
Invest locally and use reinvestment to grow; it is the only way you will be free; and that matters.
So, yes, US divers is just one segment of the possible many segments of the tourism market. I am assuming this segment, if you look at it closely, will have its own characteristics and behavior and spending patterns that would be very different from other segments such as tourists from China or Korea or Japan, etc.
The question is what kinds of assets or attractions does Pohnpei have--or that can be developed--to cater to this segment of the tourism industry.
First, is the cost: there are closer destinations such as Belize, the Carribean islands, etc. which will cost less, in terms of airline costs, to visit compared to the price of the tickets to Pohnpei and back.
Second, what about the attractions for tourists: will the US-based divers be willing to bypass Hawaii and its other islands--to come to Pohnpei. Do we have such hot diving spots in Pohnpei to compete with other diver destinations? I think it's limited.
These and more are some of the items in the list to be evaluated if were we to try to focus on this segment of the market. It is doable but we need to make a good case as to why the US-based divers would be attracted to come to Pohnpei and not other less expensive and accessible destinations that have more to offer.
I don't want to sound negative. American divers have a lot of money to spend compared to other segments of the tourism population so it should be seriously considered. It'll be good to hear from marketing experts regarding this segment and as to whether or not, it should be the focus of the Pohnpei tourism promotion drive. Just some ideas.
Has anybody considered cruise-lines. I hate traveling in airplanes for long durations.
A service based economy would certainly not be a first choice.
The South Pacific has multiple times the number of fauna and flora species than the Caribbean Basin.
I thought Pohnpei had healthy coral reefs and good water clarity. That is the only attraction needed to attract divers and snorkelers from around the world. Has the entire planet been trawled with bottom nets? I was hoping a few spots were missed. Flora and Fauna is what the world wants to experience; it is that simple. Unfortunately the density of both flora and fauna in our oceans is rapidly decreasing.
If there are healthy coral reefs with large numbers of fish then imagine a market where the product is exposure to the most species of flora and fauna on the planet. It sounds foolish to use scarce capital to hire marketing experts for such a rare market. That is like saying you don’t know what you have in your hands.
Pohnpei will never be able to compete with the highly sophisticated and highly profitable casinos in places like Las Vegas, Macau, Hong Kong, Monaco, London, etc.
A tourist attraction unique to Pohnpei is Nan Madol, a United Nations World Heritage site. But until it is restored and maintained, made more accessible to visitors of all ages, and supported with world class tour guides, lodging, and restaurants, not many people will spend thousands of dollars to visit the place.
So if casino is out, what is it that might attract Chinese or other gamblers to Pohnpei? I don't see any.
Cruise liners is one possible ways to bring tourists in. But I don't think somebody will deliberately get on a cruise-liner with Pohnpei destination solely in mind. What we can do is for our tourism promoters to contact the cruiseliner operators that pass thru our waters--so they can make a scheduled stop on Pohnpei port for a couple of days. I heard that some of these cruise-lines go to Guam or Saipan and other destinations in our neighborhood. So it might be possible to find ways to get them to stop, more often, or on a regular basis at Pohnpei port.
What about Korean visitors or Japanese visitors? We do have some Japanese visitors that come thru on a more regular basis. There are Japanese-speaking local tour operators who are equipped to hold Japanese tourists--if or when they come.
But I am beginning to think that we need to approach the development of the Pohnpei tourism in a slightly different way. I don't think our own government agencies and employees--who are tasked to promote and attract tourists--can do the job. It's not that they are not qualified. It's just the way the mass tourism market work.
If we want to bring in, say, 200 to 300 tourists to Pohnpei on a charter flight, I think we need to have the involvement of tour packagers or tour promoters--located where the possible tourists are.
The promoters will be the ones to advertise the tour packages; arrange for flights when there are about 200 to 300 interested tourists. They can facilitate and make bookings with the local Pohnpei hotel from their offices in Japan or S. Korea; and even plan out, example, a 3-day package. The tour operators are the ones who know the needs and desires of different tourists group. So they will be the ones who we can depend on the make the arrangements.
It may mean that our governments will need to find partners who are tour operators; and pay them certain amount plus commission in order for them to sell Pohnpei as destination.
I think tourists visiting out-o- the-way places like Pohnpei would like to be dealing with reliable and trustworthy tour operators--for their safety and for assurance about the value of their vacations.
So I don't know what assets or attractions(?) are there in Pohnpei to attract a certain group. We still need to conduct tourist marketing studies, the segmentation of the market. In the end, we want some sort of tourist profiles as per different countries as segmented by age group, family group, environmental study group, historical study group, divers group, etc., etc.
In short, I think we need to develop working relationship and compensation package agreement with tourist promoters. We need to bring some of them to Pohnpei to look at our assets; and advice us on how to improve Pohnpei; so that future tourists will be satisfied once they get here. Just some thoughts.
Besides the Nan Madol World Heritage site, FSM has spectacular sport fishing and scuba diving to attract tourists.
WWII artifacts and shipwrecks can also attract both Japanese and American families with WWII historical connections.
And yes, we need experienced tourism industry professionals to propose marketing strategies for possible implementation....IF the people and the government are really serious about tourism, that is.
So far, I haven't seem much evidence of serious interest, sad to say.
FM, I agree that FSM has many attractions that could draw tourists to visit. But for business strategy, I think the government officials who are responsible for tourism policies should really work with professionals--so that the different FSM states' attractions will be identified and amplified--for the purpose of differentiating each one as a unique destination in itself. I say this because when we say FSM, it means a large region; so it'll be difficult for tourist to be able to visit all the destinations in the FSM.
So, let's say that a typical tourist--from Japan, S. Korea, US, Europe, Russia, etc.,--has only 3 days for vacation. How do we attract those kinds of visitors to a particular destination. I would say that we should assume that these tourists with only 3-day vacation time will only be going to one destination--whether it's Pohnpei or Chuuk or Yap or Kosrae--in the case of the FSM. Of course, other competing destinations for the 3-day vacationers are Hawaii, Guam, Palau, Saipan, RMI and other nearby locations.
So for the FSM, we need to define the potential destinations within the FSM. We can say that Pohnpei is unique because of its Nan Madol ruins plus its diving spots. Chuuk is unique because of the World War II wrecks. Yap is unique because of its traditional money and its sting ray alley. Also, Kosrae has its own ruins and special forests, etc.
In short, we need to understand, on one hand, the tourists profiles and segmentation; so we can target the different segments--in order to lure them to the spectacular and unique attractions within each of the FSM states. On the other hand, we need to define our destinations in a way that they will attract the different segments of the tourism population. Just some thoughts but I am sure these are already well understood by government officials responsible for tourism development and promotion. Hope so.
Of the three Freely Associated States, only Palau has a thriving tourist industry.
Both the FSM and the RMI would be wise to learn from the ROP how to effectively attract tourists.
In the meantime, fisheries remain our only significant income-producing industry....and that income will continue to fluctuate annually due to tuna migration and global warming.
I learn much on tourism from your comments, but I sometimes feel you are leap frogging. I think Factsmatter pointed out a problem which is the lack of "serious interest." Shouldn't we address this problem first? Does anyone know why Micronesians, excluding Belauans and Chamorros, lack the motivation to develop their tourism industry? For example, lack of physical fitness, low energy, or maybe poor diet is to blame. Too much substance abuse maybe? Too content with no dreams or visions for greatness? Too lazy? Don't want to change lifestyle or develop self? Land's too sacred to be developed or discussed? Bored of same old leadership? Not enough public lands like in Koror and the Marianas?
Are Micronesians really free men and women? If so, then why are we not "seriously interested" in building up our tourism, economy and country? Maybe we just don't like tourists and want to be left alone, like most conquered peoples living in injun reservations. Or maybe we dread the ecological, cultural, and economical impacts of tourism. Anyway, I think we should also consider the public's opinions, especially the local communities' and land owners,' when planning these ventures. Because everyone will be impacted.
z, yes, you are making a lot of good points. I am hoping that by engaging in serious discussions about Pohnpei tourism, we can come to some conclusions; and some answers to questions which you have raised. I don't want to believe that Pohnpeians are lazy or don't want development thru tourism. But I also don't have an answer as to how to develop tourism in Pohnpei--to a level similar to Palau or Guam, etc.
Maybe some of the reasons that you say are correct. But I am not sold yet on the idea that we are the cause of our own problem--our attitude, our way of life, low energy, etc.
In the end, it might prove that tourism--in the volume comparable to Palau or Guam--simply cannot occur in Pohnpei for the following reasons which have been mentioned by different people--some in this Forum, etc.
Pohnpei does not have the beaches that attract family-type tourists. Pohnpei is too far out of the way; so it'll take many vacation hours spent on the plane; so it does not attract people with only 3-day vacation. Pohnpei does not have large shopping centers such as those in Guam (Walmart, Duty-Free, etc). While Nan Madol is one of the best place in the world to visit, it would only take probably a couple of hours to make a tour to Nan Madol; and what do you do after that.
Another problem that I see is restrictions for hiring quality service people, such as workers from the Philippines, to come work in Pohnpei. It is difficult to recruit these workers because they also have to get US visa just to transit thru Guam a couple of hours in order to go to Pohnpei.
In contrast, Palau has good beaches although you have take boats to the nice rock island beaches. But some of the hotels in Koror have built artificial beaches by the hotels to cater to their tourism customers. The population of Palau is small; so the number of Palauans working for tourism is small. Most of the service workers such as waitress at restaurants, cooks, etc, are from the Philippines. And it's easy for Palau to bring in workers from PI because they don't have to go thru Guam--so they don't need to apply for visa which is costly as well as time consuming. Most importantly, Palau has been able to maintain its clean environment which is appreciated by the tourists.
So should Pohnpei give up on tourism because it does have the same assets and attractions as Palau or Guam? At some point in time, the leadership has to decide. I would say that we still need experts on tourism development and marketing and promotion to visit Pohnpei under contract with the Pohnpei State or with the FSM. They still need to do assessments of our assets and attraction sites. They need to help us figure as to whether or not our assets and attractions can be good enough to attract a certain segment of the tourism population.
We don't have to have mass tourism although the airport has been extended to accommodate charter flights. We might be able to focus on smaller number of visitors; and then, build from there. We'll see.
Does anyone know why Air Niugini and Air Nauru do not want to land in Guam? Only Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, South Korean, and Philippines airlines like to land in Guam. Why is this? Anyone know why Air Niugini and Air Nauru hate Guam so much?
Disregard everything that you are talking about with regards to tourism in the FSM. Let us explore this question instead. Why does the US Government allow Japanese, Chinese, South Korean, Taiwanese, and Philippine airlines to land in Guam but not Air Niugini and Air Nauru? Is it because the pilots have curly hair? Why is this?
I think any airline that wants to fly to any country must be able to meet that country's standard. In order to fly to Guam or Honolulu, the aircraft must meet US safety standard; pilots must meet training and retraining requirements. The airline must also have an office and crew at the airport; to service the plane and customers. It probably can contract other airlines to provide these services at the beginning.
It also probably need to lease or own those ramp walkway that are moved to connect to the plane once in place; for customers to work thru to the airport--unless you have a small aircraft which only requires customer to exit the plane; and walk on the airport open air to the building. The 2 airlines that you are talking about probably don't have the volume of customers to Guam--to be able to invest on the required infrastructure. It probably does not have enough revenue to meet insurance requirements.
Lastly, I am sure the business competition from United or other more established US carrier will always be a factor. I heard that United--like the Continental before it-- keeps reducing its ticket prices whenever Air Nauru tried to have flights to Guam or other destinations in Micronesia-in order to undercut Air Nauru's attempt to get a foothold of the Guam market.
So I am sure it has nothing to do with "curly hair" but more on stiff competition; as there are other "curly hair" pilots in United and other carriers that come to Guam.
Air Niugini has been trying to get landing rights into Guam since 1970s. However, for some strange reason, the US Government never grants them landing rights, despite the fact that it grants landing rights to Asian country airlines from Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, and Philippines.
What would be the reason for not granting landing rights to Air Niugini? Please tell us because I think you already know this.
We just need to justify why should a tourist fly over Guam and Hawaii to come to FSM. Once we can get that traveler to FSM, we will have tourist.
Good question. I think some smart person--with practical experience in tourism program planning and strategizing--might be able to provide some answers. Or, it'll be a combination of experts in business development and marketing strategies; or some people from Japan or S. Korea who actually have real life experience with packaging tours from their countries to Pacific islands nations such as Guam, Hawaii, CNMI. People with such expertise could be paid as consultant--to put some of their recommendations together to answer the question above. | 2019-04-20T14:42:59Z | http://micronesiaforum.org/index.php?p=/discussion/comment/378545/ |
Patrice Evra who was recently in news for making his comeback to the United with an executive role off the ground has condemned the racial abuse whose victim was Raheem Sterling. The former defender of France has lived the best part of his football career in the Old Trafford and speculations have raised that he could make a comeback to his old stadium.
When the incident of racial abuse took place, Patrice Evra was fast to react on this and expressed his displeasure over the incident through a tweet. The incident of racial abuse took place on Saturday when Raheem Sterling was playing for the Manchester City. One such incident of racial abuse also happened with Evra when he was allegedly abused by Luis Suarez of Liverpool in 2011 on the basis of his race. While expressing his displeasure he said that this is awful that such incident occurs in the modern era. The French player tweeted: “I just saw what occurred with @sterling7 last night. How such a thing can still happen in 2018? | 2019-04-25T16:35:19Z | https://www.patriceevra3.com/tag/manchester/ |

It’s hard to put into words the way I felt about Nocturnal Animals. On one hand, this is one of the creepiest, most disturbing films I have ever seen. On the other hand, it was so different that I actually liked it. Maybe I’m just a little oversensitive, but the suspense of every scene made me want to rip my skin off. The only conclusion I can draw is that writer/director Tom Ford knows how to make an emotionally confusing movie.
Since I don’t know where else to start with this one, I’ll just start from the top. From the opening scene, I knew Nocturnal Animals was going to be extremely weird. I think the opening title sequence is the most awkward and unnecessary thing that I have ever seen. Due to the extreme lack of censorship, I will not describe in detail the art exhibit that Susan Morrow (Amy Adams) was displaying. There are no words to describe how utterly unnecessary this scene was, and it didn’t have anything to do with the rest of the film.
After the opening scene, the film gets into its wacky groove when Susan’s ex-husband, Edward Sheffield (Jake Gyllenhaal), leaves a copy of his newest novel’s manuscript on her front porch. The novel serves as a twisted ode to their two decade departed relationship and the cruel way that it ended. The film starts to depict three separate timelines: Susan and Edward’s past relationship, Susan’s present, and a manifestation of the novel as Susan reads it. The film inside the film is actually very good. The novel’s apparent revenge plot is thick, juicy, and extremely suspenseful.
The novel itself is a very creepy story based on a version of Edward and Susan, Tony and Laura (who is now played by Isla Fisher to help differentiate between the stories). The story is a lens for how Edward felt following his falling out with Susan, but it’s much more twisted in this personification. Tony is faced with teaming up with cop Bobby Andes (Michael Shannon) to hunt down the perps that raped and murdered his wife and daughter. The novel forces Susan to contemplate her past with Edward and her present situation with cheating husband Hutton (Armie Hammer).
Nocturnal Animals shines in the great acting performances of Gyllenhaal, Shannon, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who plays perp Ray. They all do a fantastic job of portraying nutty characters and I was happy to see that Taylor-Johnson received a Golden Globe nomination for this role. I also liked that for an incredibly suspenseful film, I was still able to worry about what would happen next without the suspense ever getting old. It’s a very, very weird film, yet it somehow is still enjoyable and keeps you interested in the action of the novel.
Even after trying to put my thoughts into a review, I’m still not sure how to fully sort out my true feelings on this film. It’s one of those movies that you can dislike and love at the same time, if that makes any sense. Nocturnal Animals is not a standard film by any means. It’s a crazy revenge story that made my skin crawl with anticipation and made me feel conflicted about what the film was trying to say.

: Subtitle option is not avaiable.
: only 1080p bluray iso & folder can select subtitles..
: subtitle could load successfully when subtitle file name is matched with video file.
How to solve two issues?
If the subtitle option is not available, it is probably that the external subtitle feature has not been for UHD bluray since the very beginning.
For your second question, I remember that the powerdvd has the settings for subtitle style adjustment. You may adjust the font size there. However, the subtitle adjustment won't work if you enabled high performance playback mode (it is an option in powerdvd more video settings) for 4K playback.
I know that there are options to adjust size and font,i am already changed these values. | 2019-04-23T20:12:04Z | https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/78134.page |

Commissioner Florence Harmon said she was frustrated with DCPS' decision to back out of funding the Ivymount program at the Stevens School.
D.C. Public Schools is pulling out of its funding commitment for the new Ivymount special education school, set to be located at the site of the former Thaddeus Stevens School on 21st Street.
Foggy Bottom and West End Advisory Neighborhood commissioners learned the news at their meeting Wednesday evening after ANC Chairman Patrick Kennedy received a letter less than an hour before the meeting got underway. The letter that Kennedy read aloud at the meeting stated that DCPS chose not to move forward with their agreement and mentioned previous work between DCPS and Ivymount.
“Since 2012 DCPS has launched successful collaborative efforts with Ivymount students and staff and has developed additional programs from students with autism spectrum disorder and professional development for DCPS staff,” the letter to Kennedy from Jennifer Niles, deputy mayor of education, stated.
Ivymount, a private school company that operates two schools and outreach programs for children with learning and intellectual disabilities including autism, is planning to open a third school an the site of the former Stevens School, which closed in 2008.
ANC commissioners slammed DCPS’ decision saying the current state of special needs education in the District is failing children.
Commissioner Eve Zhurbinskiy said it was unclear why DCPS decided not to provide funding for the project. Adminstrators had previously committed to give about $2.5 million to the project, $50,000 for each of the 50 students planning to enroll there, she said.
Chancellor Antwan Wilson, who came to DCPS in February, switched around special education programs as the superintendent of schools in Oakland, Calif. to combine children in regular classrooms, upsetting some parents, the Washington Post reported.
“One month into his role as chancellor, he decided to scrap the Ivymount deal, and everyone on the ANC is extremely angry,” she said in an email.
Kennedy said DCPS’ withdrawal of funding is a setback for the community, especially children who need special education.
Ivymount still has a $20 million contract with Akridge, a property office commercial real estate company, which will fund some of the restoration of the Stevens School.
Stevens School had a 140-year-long history in the District, originally built with contributions from parents who were freed slaves and wanted to send their children to a quality school, Kennedy said.
The school closed in 2008 but the D.C. Council and Historic Preservation Review Board approved renovations to bring the Ivymount School into the space in 2018.
Under the renovation plans, Akridge would furnish the property to open the school and the adjacent retail and office space that is planned for the site.
The ANC voted unanimously to accept Akridge’s plans for the school site under the Historic Preservation Review Board.
Commissioner William Smith said he did not think anything justified dissolving the program.
Commissioner Florence Harmon said while she was upset about DCPS’ decision, she did think the agency legally could back out of funding the program.
“I have never seen anything like this in my entire life,” Harmon said. | 2019-04-25T20:40:34Z | https://www.gwhatchet.com/2017/05/18/dcps-backs-out-of-funding-ivymount-at-the-stevens-school/ |

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by unisecureus, Oct 25, 2018.
Normally SEO is long term works to get traffics but its important for organic traffics on regular basis. As you are looking for traffics improvement on fast mode then your main key is Unique and informative blog, use social media platform to get traffics from starting. Once user will notice that you are giving very good information then they will subscribe you or follow you.
Second ratio or update, you should update your blog by unique contents at least twice in a week (If can do regular or alternate then best) because it will attract search engines eyes and once you get noticed that updating blog very frequently with unique and informative contents then you can boom. Keep in mind that SEO is also still part to get good organic traffics for long term so dont leave process of SEO in natural ways like Link building and social bookmarking top sites for each new post.
Learn about content marketing. Publish engaging blog posts that visitors will want to share.
The only way to increase your traffic FAST is to buy it.
You can do that with Google Adsense, Facebook advertising, JV partnering, classified ads, solo ads. Just to name a few.
If you try the solo ad route you'll need to be especially picky in choosing your vendor. There are a lot of not so ethical providers in that area of advertising. Udimi is a good source. Study the vendor ratings to find the reliable ones.
Your SEO will play a good factor in it, but you can start working on social media right now to increase it. I find FB great for boosting traffic quickly.
First of all start with SEO, it won't provide you with a fast result but it will benefit the most at the end of the day. For relatively fast traffic I suggest using active social media and forum promotion. In case you need instant figures - try PPC.
Thanks all for valuable replies.
Hi, When I start where I post article on daily basis or may be 2 or 3 article per day with quality content also top keyword searches, So without link building can I get rank in top searches?
In starting you must have to let search engines know that you are updating your blog or informative website with unique contents on regular basis. For this best ways is bookmark to top sites like digg, redit your each submitted contents. When search engines will see that you are updating or giving very good information for visitors then no need to do more link building. For example this sites and forums digitalpoints, ezinearticles, articlebase ..... Till now i did not listen that these sites are doing link building along with update.
You can increase your traffic via google search engine, SEO, You should share your post link on social media and the promote your website.
Good way to increase traffic will be quality content. It will be the most correct decision.
Try to publish unique content. Also, you can try guest posts. It can bring you a lot of traffic if a famous site will accept your article.
It is advisable to circulate your blog on various high traffic micro-blogging sites and do social bookmarking accordingly. You can also take advantage of social media promotion as well. | 2019-04-26T16:53:09Z | https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/blog-traffic.2848479/ |
