Currently, the network’s hashrate is running at a phenomenal 3,418,031,852 GH/s, strengthening the bitcoin architecture more so each and every day. But many newcomers hearing about bitcoin for the first time wonder, How does bitcoin mining actually work?
Bitcoin mining requires the use of a specialized mining computer and software to solve mathematical equations. Miners consist of individuals or organizations running this software who compete with each other to solve these puzzles.
A mining device and cgminer software.
When people transact with bitcoin, all of the network’s nodes share information about new transactions in a transaction queue called a mempool. Blocks of transactions are not accepted into a blockchain’s ledger until miners perform a hash function solving the puzzle, which in turn verifies the legitimacy of transactions contained in that specific block. This means miners can try and mine blocks of transactions by hashing (attempting to solve the equation) from a string of numbers and letters.
An example of a hash function. Hash functions are cryptographically irreversible. Inputs can be any length, but output strings are always predetermined. If any changes are made to the sentence such as— Visit News Bitcoin.com for the latest bitcoin “articles”— the output string of alphanumeric digits would also change.
A miner solves the problem with another string of random digits by computing a lucky hash result which is followed by a reward of 12.5 bitcoins and all the transaction fees as well. Hashing requires significant processing time and resources to solve these problems. Deciphering the cryptography in a hash function is not easy and requires brute computational force. All of the miners simultaneously trying to solve these problems create the network’s hashrate. Once a puzzle is solved by the miner the result is called proof-of-work.
The mathematical puzzles solved are impossible to predict without overcoming the difficulty of finding a particular hash value. Mining rigs or devices that mine bitcoins continuously try and solve these puzzles over and over until miners get the correct answer.
The process not only incentivizes miners monetarily, but also ensures transactions are validated correctly. Every block also hosts the hash of the previous block mined before it. This, in turn, makes sure the system maintains an accurate chain of information which essentially becomes tamper resistant.
Bitcoin transactions are sent to nodes.
Every node has a separate transaction queue called a mempool.
Nodes relay the information. Some nodes can mine using specialized devices, ASIC chips and mining software, to solve equations while trying to find a block.
Solving these puzzles means miners are given a string of alphanumeric digits and they have to hash the string of digits with another random string that begins with multiple zeros.
Miners use lots of processing power trying to mathematically link (solve the equation) the strings of digits. Mining devices continuously hash (attempt to solve) these puzzles until a block is found.
If successful at hashing a puzzle, miners are currently rewarded 12.5 BTC. Every four years the reward halves.
Bitcoin mining can be hard to understand when you’re first introduced to the digital currency. But, once you get a grasp of the concept, it’s not so hard to understand the symbiotic relationship of mining and securing the network.
A more in-depth look at how mining works can be found here at our Bitcoin.com Wiki page.

The Firearms Industry is keenly aware that hearing protection is necessary and positive benefit. OSHA requires hearing protection for those exposed to over an 85 decibel time weighted average across 8 hours. However, you may be unaware that your business could mitigate the need for hearing protection through simple changes and process decisions.
Firearms manufacturers and gunsmiths both may use machinery that generates substantial noise and risk of hearing impairment.Sometimes, a set of storage racks can create an “echo chamber” effect that brings your business above the action level for hearing conservation. However, you can often mitigate the noise produced by machinery through careful placement in your facility and using sound absorbing materials.
Firing ranges can mitigate exposure to their retail employees by ensuring that the range is accessed through a separate area of the business and that no doors to the range are left open. You could likewise protect your Range Safety Officers by providing enclosed viewing rooms that keep them separate from the range noise.
If your business is found to produce noise above the OSHA proscribed action levels then your business will need to implement specific Hearing Conservation requirements.Even if your business is not above an action level it is beneficial for any firearms related business to maintain a written Hearing Conservation Program (HCP). Producing and maintain an HCP can protect your business in the event of an OSHA inspection.It accomplishes this by documented your businesses strict policies regarding the use and provision of hearing protection equipment and what tests you have conducted to ensure you are not above the safe levels of noise.
If your business is above an action level for Hearing Conservation, then your HCP will also document what tests your company performs to ensure employees hearing health is not being adversely affected. | 2019-04-24T00:42:59Z | https://firearmsindustryconsultinggroup.com/hearing-conservation/ |
Hoping to foster a healthy downtown in a challenging economic climate, Windsor Town Council members Wednesday night rejected a bid by a well-known real estate company to locate its offices on a prominent corner of the Town Green.
The council on a 4-0 vote decided that offices like Century 21 North Bay Alliance do not belong on the ground floor of buildings in an area envisioned as a downtown shopping and restaurant area.
The concern is that offices do not draw enough foot traffic or fit in with the retail establishments. But there also are a number of vacancies caused by stores that have gone out of business and landlords willing to lease the spaces for office use.
Council members heard from a dozen or so speakers Wednesday, although Fudge noted there is a majority that wants to protect active retail uses promoted in the town’s development guidelines, specifically along Windsor Road, Windsor River Road and McClelland Drive.
The Town Green Village was designed with a mixture of townhomes built above shops and restaurants adjoining the four-acre Green. Business offices were supposed to be relegated to peripheral areas such as Johnson Street and Emily Rose Circle.
The Town Green is a hub of the community, said KC’s Downtown Grill owner David Culley. “But as an economic hub, we’ve missed the mark unfortunately,” he told the council, in arguing for the need to preserve retail uses before offices.
“Too many prime retail locations are already taken up by service businesses or even offices,” agreed Thomasin Alyxander, owner of the bead store Ubeadquitous.
She said the town doesn’t need another real estate office “cluttering up the streetscape,” and the arrival of Century 21 at McClelland and Windsor Road would put two practically across the street from each other.
But Realtor Bob Santucci said his award-winning Century 21 North Bay Alliance business would have an attractive storefront. He noted that its office in Healdsburg draws plenty of people who pop in just for information.
Other Century 21 real estate brokers said the office would be open seven days a week and bring clients and agents downtown for coffee, lunch and dinner.
Pharmacist Mark Burger, who has a store in the Town Green Village and also lives there, said it’s a free market and market forces should dictate what businesses go in.
Windsor planning officials wanted the Town Council to weigh in on the issue because of recent changes downtown.
For one, many of the properties that once belonged to Town Green developer Orrin Thiessen have changed ownership as a result of his bankruptcy. Prior restrictions on businesses — including offices — are no longer in effect as a result of the foreclosures, according to Planning Director Jim Bergman.
The adoption of Windsor’s Station Area Plan earlier this year also discourages ground-floor offices in prominent downtown commercial locations.
The station plan, which is part of a transit-oriented vision for the future in which people work and live within walking distance of trains and buses, aims to create active uses that are attractive to pedestrians.
While offices may be permitted on an interim basis, the plan calls specifically for stores, restaurants, cafes, markets, bars, theaters, commercial recreation and entertainment, personal and convenience services, tourism-oriented services, hotel lobbies, banks, child-care services, libraries, museums and galleries.
Bergman said the concept of not allowing ground floor offices is not without precedent. He said five of the other eight cities in Sonoma County also have some type of restriction on the establishment of ground-floor offices.
Town Council members a few years ago banned a variety of uses near the Town Green, including tattoo businesses, massage parlors, smoke shops, fortunetellers, bail bonds and check-cashing stores.
Officials said the intent was to avoid a “skid row” appearance that a proliferation of such businesses could create.
The restrictions were prompted by a short-lived smoke shop that opened in a prominent spot of Town Green Village in 2008.
Alarmed by the bongs and drug-related merchandise offered for sale just steps away from students walking to and from the high school, the Town Council ended up restricting new smoke shops to other commercial zones. | 2019-04-21T10:53:54Z | http://www.watchsonomacounty.com/2012/09/cities/windsor-town-green-real-estate-office-rejected/ |
Okay, so technically it's not July 4th yet. But it is Monday, and we're getting in the theme of things here.
When I think of food on July 4th, I think of barbecue or burgers or hotdogs and corn on the cob with watermelon for dessert. So we did a lunch of veggie barbecue ribs (the ones by Morningstar Farms - I had one in the back of the freezer to use, and they are delicious!), corn, and a sweet potato pecan spice muffin. This is the first time I had ever baked in these star cups, and Pierce thought it was so neat when he popped out the muffin and it was star shaped.
What food do you associate with July 4th?
These muffin cups are adorable!
Independence Day favourites at Blether House? Hmmmm, fresh sweet corn right off the grill and red white and blue fruit salad are probably the top two!
That very cool! !!!! Have a great day!
What a wonderful lunch! It would be perfect for the 4th of July!
Those look great. I love the stars! Any typical cookout food always reminds me of the 4th, hamburgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob and potato salad. I always get so nostalgic, especially since I'm usually working that day.
Everything sounds and looks so good. I really am drooling over that muffin!
That muffin soun ds real good. My sis used to make a sweet potatoe praline pie.
Veggie barbecue ribs? I've got to look for those!
I think of hot dogs, potato salad, watermelon and fresh tomatoes.
Watermelon is one of my favorites for July 4 - that, and home made ice cream, curned by an old tractor motor! We go to Jugville every July 4, and they have antique tractors of every shape and kind, and a wonderful meal at their festivities on Robinson Lake. Great country music as well!
I can't believe it's nearly the 4th of July already! Your muffin tin meal pretty much sums up my idea of the perfect 4th of July dinner. Barbecued burgers, corn, watermelon, and maybe a rhubarb pie!
I like those star shaped cups.
Anything on the grill represents July 4th to me!
So cute! Those look like the perfect size for me for portion control. Love it!
We're grilling burgers. I make a Southwestern burger that has feta cheese, cilantro, smashed beans and other things in it. I think it's good.
We'll have a salad and watermelon with it.
I bought stuff to make S'mores. It's not something I normally make, but we're making a fire. I think the kids will like the treat.
These are adorable -- and I take it you got your power back on?
I'm not sure I have a particular food that I associate with the 4th. I wonder why!
Beer! Oh, you said food. Just kiddin'.
Looks delicious, Lisa... I always think of picnic-type foods on the 4th --including WATERMELON... This year we are taking lunch to see G's dad and sister.. We'll take fried chicken, baked beans, potato salad, and deviled eggs... YUM!!!!
I love the idea of putting food in the little shapes. Just the right serving size. Love it! | 2019-04-18T23:18:16Z | http://www.twobearsfarm.com/2012/07/fourth-of-july-muffin-tin-monday.html |

Passenger train station in Northeast P.A.
The larger image is a single image of the station with some contrast added and some work with the adjustment brush in Lightroom3. The two smaller images are 3 image HDR’s. The 3 images are 2 stops each side of normal, the -2 stop image allows the blue in the sky to be pulled out and the clouds to look more cloud like rather than the gray mess of clouds seen in the upper image. The simple composite of the 3 images was done in PS5. | 2019-04-26T04:21:47Z | https://kamooreimages.com/2011/09/12/northeast-p-a-passenger-train-station/ |
One month after the opening of the new Shopify Plus Waterloo Office, the cloud-based commerce platform announced the acquisition of a neighboring design & development firm Boltmade.
Boltmade’s Waterloo-based 21-person team will move over to the new Shopify Plus office, bringing Shopify that much closer to their goal of a 300 people by the end of 2017. The Waterloo office, branded as Shopify Plus, is primarily a sales team for the e-commerce platform’s enterprise services, something that until now has been a missing piece of the tech landscape in the area.
Shopify currently powers over 300,000 businesses in approximately 150 countries and is trusted by brands such as Tesla Motors, Red Bull, Nestle and GE. | 2019-04-24T11:47:57Z | https://techvibes.com/2016/10/03/shopify-plus-grows-with-boltmade-acquisition?via=indexdotco |
PaleoPoxy is a kneadable, non-shrinking epoxy putty. When fully cured, it becomes an integral part of the item being repaired, rebuilt or restored. Just one hour after mixing, PaleoPoxy can be drilled, sawed, sanded, filed or painted.
PaleoPoxy comes in a handy two ounce “Tootsie-Roll” form with the curing agent encapsulated in the contrasting color base material. The putty-like consistency eliminates drips and runs, providing “no mess” applications and it’s use requires no tools.
PaleoPoxy before painting is recommended.
The unused portion of PaleoPoxy will remain stable for years if stored in the original container in a cool, dry environment.
Peel back plastic wrap and cut small piece of PaleoPoxy from the end of the roll. PaleoPoxy sets quickly, so use in small amounts to avoid waste.
To insure optimum adhesion, make sure the surface of your specimen is clean. You can also slightly scuff or sand the area where you are bonding if necessary. Twist or cut off the required amount of material. Knead until you reach a uniform color. PaleoPoxy is easier to mix when at or above room temperature.
Apply to the surface being repaired within 10-15 minutes of mixing. Push into any cracks or crevasses being filled and remove any excess material. This can be done with a tool dipped in clean water. You can also hand rub the epoxy with water or a damp cloth for a smoother appearance prior to hardening. If applying to a damp or wet area, work the material into the surface and apply pressure until adhesion takes effect.
After 15-20 minutes the epoxy will begin to form a tenacious bond. Remove any excess material before hardening takes place. Full cure occurs in just 60 minutes.
Kit includes: One 2 oz tube of PB122 PaleoPoxy. Color is TAN. | 2019-04-18T18:45:36Z | https://paleobond.com/product/pb122-paleopoxy-2-oz-tube/ |

Fancy a break in beautiful Emu Point, the traditional holiday place of Albany?
There's beaches to walk on, safe swimming for families, a cycle way that heads both north and south, a fishing boat harbour, cafe's and eateries, swings for kids to play on and lots of grassy parks with big shady peppermints to picnic under. And, for those with boats, there is a boat ramp with pelicans looking for a fish or two upon your safe return home.
This is the place where teens roamed, kids enjoyed the playgrounds and parents took long leisurely breaks on the couch with a good book This is the place where the safety of Oyster Harbour’s calm water on one side of the peninsula, the energy of Middleton Beach and King George Sound on the other, and a sleepy little community of locals and holiday goers nestled amongst the shady peppermint trees of the sandy peninsula in the middle provided a holiday experience for every member of the family.
BedwellONE is one of a duplex pair that was built in the late 60's to early 70's. Functional, unadorned and still the pale brick beacon sitting atop the sandy dune system on which it is built, there was and still is plenty of space outdoors for a boat or two and parking for cars of visiting friends.
Inside, the unit has an upgraded and fully self contained kitchen, a renovated bathroom and full laundry facilities installed. King and 2x single beds are comfortable and bedroom floors carpeted. So too is the lounges, which are has a TV/DVD player, books to read and games to play. Electric heating provides winter warmth. Fans and strong sea breezes keeps the unit cool in summer.
And, just a short walk away, there is always a beach with a stunning vista or sunset to soak up.
Welcome to BedwellONE. We look forward to helping you enjoy your own Emu Point experience. | 2019-04-18T18:45:47Z | https://www.stayz.com.au/accommodation/wa/great-southern/emu-point/9193419 |
The USR Link app is used to connect the Wi-Fi Hive Scale to a Wi-Fi network. The application searches a router list for nearby Wi-Fi networks and allows a user to send their network settings to the Wi-Fi Hive Scale to allow the scale to transmit hive statistics to the Web. USR Link is available for the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and Android devices and can be downloaded by clicking the icons below.
Before using the USR Link app, the Wi-Fi Hive Scale must be set to "AP mode". Set your scale to "AP mode" by first holding down all three buttons simultaneously and then releasing the bottom Reset button. An amber LED will turn on to signify that the unit has successfully entered "AP mode" after which the top two buttons can be released.
Go to the Wi-Fi settings on your tablet or phone and look for a network called "USR-C215". Connect your mobile device to this network. (The Wi-Fi Hive Scale broadcasts this network name when in AP mode).
Launch the USR Link app on your tablet or phone.
If you have an Apple device, click "PORT". Set the default port number to: 48899 and click "OK" (This step is not required for Android devices).
A page with a list of nearby networks should appear. Select the network you wish to connect your Wi-Fi Hive Scale to.
Type in the wireless password for your Wi-Fi network. If no password, leave blank.
The app will say "Alert: Send Success". Wait for all three LEDs to blink on the Wi-Fi Hive Scale. This means the network setup is complete.
If USR Link app reports a "Configure Timeout" error, the network configuration has failed. Reset the Wi-Fi Hive Scale and repeat steps 1-7. Make sure the network name and password are correct. If you have an Apple device make sure the default port is set to 48899.
If the Wi-Fi Hive Scale is having connectivity issues over Wi-Fi, it is possible the scale is too far away from the closest Wi-Fi router/access point and has poor signal strength. Signal strength can be checked from the location of the hive scale using freely available network apps for Android and iOS devices. Android users can check network signal strength using Wi-Fi Analyzer. iOS users can check signal strength using Apple's Airport Utility. Further directions on testing signal strength can be found in the section on "Signal Strength and Extending Range". | 2019-04-20T01:04:29Z | http://www.wifihivescale.com/index.php/quick-start-guide/guide?id=23 |

Last week Glenn Greenwald, the American journalist who worked with Edward Snowden to unveil his revelations of the NSA’s mass surveillance, was in Montreal. He spoke at McGill University on Thursday and Concordia on Friday night, and your correspondent was lucky enough to be present at the latter of the talks. After thanking McGill and Concordia for bringing him to Canada, Greenwald spoke about his work, government surveillance programs, freedom of the press, internet privacy, as well as providing his insight into last week’s violent attacks in Ottawa.
Arriving in Canada only just before last week’s tragic shooting of a soldier in Ottawa and the scare on Parliament Hill, Greenwald got to work writing a piece for his new publication, The Intercept, about how Canada should not be shocked that they were subject to a terrorist attack after over a decade of war in the Middle East. During the beginning of his talk, Greenwald addressed his critics, including many Canadians who felt his article was “too soon” after the attack in Ottawa. Greenwald dubbed this the “too soon fallacy”, and suggested that if Prime Minister Harper is allowed to politicize the events later that same day, then he too must be allowed to criticize the government and their use of a tragedy for their own gains. Greenwald pointed out that one of the first things Stephen Harper spoke about last Wednesday was the need for increased security and counter-intelligence measures. Rallying around the flag in times of tragedy is not uncommon for politicians, but over the past several decades has led to dramatic increases in the surveillance state and has grossly threatened privacy rights and other such civil liberties.
Within Canada, responses to the attack in Ottawa and PM Harper’s reaction have been mixed. Opposition leader Thomas Mulcair has since stated that he does not view the Ottawa shooting as a terrorist act, whereas Justin Trudeau has been supportive of phrasing it as such due to an RCMP report on the shooting. Greenwald has warned Canadian to be wary, and that the government will likely use this as justification for unprecedented increases in surveillance, including on Canadian citizens. He suggested that the attacks were a prime example of how Western governments have “been able to shape and manipulate their citizenries in the name of terrorism” in such a way that puts at risk the fundamental principles of our democracy. This includes crackdowns on the press and their sources (see: Eric Holder), as well as a sharp decline in internet privacy in the digital age. Furthermore, Greenwald spoke about the foreign policy implications, and the status of innocence the Canadian government, along with many other western governments, has proliferated. The idea that Canada is a victim of terror attacks but not the proliferators of violence has been a popular way to view attacks of the kind that occurred in Ottawa last week, but disregards Western foreign policy in the Middle East for the past several years. Greenwald noted how much coverage we have seen about the victims of the Quebec and Ottawa attacks, but that to Canadians the thousands who have died at the hands of coalition military action in the region over the past decade remain invisible.
Glenn Greenwald has done extensive research into the ‘Five Eyes’ program, a combination of surveillance bureaus from the United States, Canada, Britain, Australia, and New Zealand. Last week he spoke of the many classified documents he had about this program and the degree to which these countries have been spying on their own citizens almost without bounds. When Edward Snowden, working with Greenwald and other journalists, leaked key information about the NSA’s spying programs it unveiled a network of surveillance grander than almost anyone could have thought possible. Early revelations included the PRISM program, which allowed the NSA access to American’s Yahoo and Google accounts, and details of the NSA’s secret court orders which forced Verizon to hand over millions of Americans daily phone records. During his talk at Concordia, Greenwald took time to mention Canada’s role in all of this, criticizing CSEC – Canada’s secretive security establishment comparable to the NSA. Despite most Canadians knowing next to nothing about CSEC (Greenwald posits that until recently a majority of Canadians did not even know of its existence), the government recently approved the construction of new headquarters for the organization. To be built in suburban Ottawa, the new headquarters are estimated to cost almost $1.2 billion, making it the most expensive government building in Canadian history.
During the question period after the talk, Greenwald was asked about what individuals can do to change the current trajectory of Western governmental surveillance. He advocated the use of encrypted email accounts and increased consideration for choices we make as consumers, perhaps we should choose other services over Gmail or Facebook if such firms do not respect the privacy of their clients. He was also asked a question (by a self-prescribed libertarian) as to whether government can be the answer if they are currently accelerating and proliferating the problem. In his response, Greenwald pointed to all of the good that has come from government, and I myself see no viable alternative to democratic governance. However, like Greenwald I agree that there must be limits to a government’s power and a method of checks on that power. In conclusion, Glenn Greenwald’s talk at Concordia was broad in scope and both intellectual and entertaining in content. I would be surprised if any member of the audience left the hall without increased respect for Greenwald and passion for the protection of civil liberties.

Hmm, the older version of the Bullfrog data seems to have missed out songs with Whitburn numbers 1953_160..1953_256 (including these two). We've used the latest version (which fixes this) to add the missing 90 odd entries back in.
This song +won the Oscar for Best Song of the Year. It won the Grammy for Best Song of the Year. It is on the AFI Film song List (#77). It also made the Billboard Charts (#95 - 6 weeks).
The Oscar entry was under "Original Soundtrack", now fixed. We only list the Record of the year Grammy (which was won by "A Taste of Honey" from Herb Alpert) although this song was nominated for that.
This is not a lyrics site, there are plenty of those already. This site will tell you that the song reached number 22 in the Cashbox charts in 1952. We don't publish the mp3 file or the lyrics. | 2019-04-20T16:19:47Z | http://tsort.info/music/u33c0k.htm |

In the past, a ferry ran past the current Cheongpyeong Training Center from Cheongpyeong Dam all the way to Mogok. A guy from Gangwon province ran the ferry line. True Parents always used the ferry whenever they travelled to the Original Sanctuary site.
Before they moved the fishing site to the front of today’s Original Sanctuary, they used to fish across the river, down the valley, below the Cheonyu Jang (summer house).
Then, with a small rowing boat, they paddled upstream to check the waters from Hongcheon River all the way to Nami Island. They had lower a rope into the water to measure its depth. After thorough exploration, they found out that the deepest water was under Seonin Peak. They also climbed every mountain around the area. They poured out their heart and effort to select the right holy ground. The inter-denominational movement officially began at the end of 1970 and early 1971. Through this movement, Christian pastors from all over the nation swarmed to Cheongpyeong. The tents for conferences to promote moral living and public hearings became today’s Cheongpyeong Training Center. Originally, the area was a mulberry patch. True Parents used to pitch a small tent when they came fishing. And, when they decided to carry out a public hearing with pastors, they brought large military tents and evened the ground. This work officially began with True Parents digging the first stones on June 17, 1971. They began the work early to avoid the monsoon season. The leaders of 36 couples also helped with the work, and since they had nowhere else to sleep, they slept in tents at night.
When the big tent was ready, True Parents held several conferences to promote moral living as well as public hearings. However, there was a limit to how many people they could educate under a tent. Therefore they decided to build an official training center and began with the construction. In order to complete the building before the monsoon rain, They began shoveling before anyone else. The 36 couples dug the earth and piled the stones. And later, centering on Rev. Do-sun Lim, 30 theology students (yet to be dispatched) joined the workforce as a special unit.
At first, they brought professionals to build the ground up high. But with the rain, the workers refused to come. So True Parents, themselves, had to come for work. Under their guidance, the 30 special workforce students carried out the construction. It was True Parents who taught them how to do the work by pointing with their stick and saying “Put the stone here. Put it there,” “Pile it up like this.” They did as they were told. Later, the monsoon brought a lot of rain which flooded the front yard. When the waters were drained, the stones set by professionals all crumbled. But those set by True Parents were firmly put. They were all surprised at True Parents’ work. This tells us that since True Parents knows everything, if we work with their heart in our mind, we can achieve anything. Under countless conditions and continuous guidance of True Parents, the Cheongpyeong Training Center (Original Sanctuary) was completed on July 12, 1971.
The Original Sanctuary was the work of True Parents and elder members from the embankment to the completion of the building.
If you observe the remaining embankment, the lower part is dark and the upper part is relatively white. The lower part was built by True Parents in 1971 and the relatively white part above was built at the time of the construction of the Cheonseong Wanglim Palace in 1999. True Parents, who started fishing in Cheonshim Lake in the late 1960’s, initially borrowed a wooden boat for their fishing condition. Since it was inconvenient to borrow every time, they purchased a wooden boat from a nearby wooden boat merchant. This boat was used until a motor boat was purchased. This wooden boat has been discarded because of deterioration.
Cheonseung-ho left Incheon and arrived at Cheongpyeong Training Center on Sept. 21, 1971. The 3rd fl. of the ship was further built under the direction of True Parents at the shore of Cheonshim Lake (near the present CheongShim Peace World Center). Cheonseung-ho was used by many members who visited the Cheongpyeong Training Center and it was docked at the rear site of the current HyoJeong Café.
On Sept. 9, 2017, the HyoJeong Café dedication ceremony was held with 300 members with True Parents. At 10:25 am, True Parents arrived in front of the bridge connecting the HyoJeong Cafe and the Cheonseong Wanglim Palace to officiate the first part of the ceremony. The Dedication Ceremony was carried out by Vice President Myong-kwan Lee (Master of Ceremony) and The event then proceeded as follows: Opening Remarks, Bow of Greeting, Floral Tribute, and Unveiling Ceremony of True Parents’ Cornerstone. They walked over the bridge and entered the 3rd floor of HyoJeong Café where they gave the sanctification. After this, they visited the HyoJeong Food Court on the 2nd floor, Jaemiin shop on the 1st floor and the Marina. They also sanctified the Marina, blessing the newly bought boat ‘HyoJeong No.1’.
“You did a great job today.
In the same year, on 9.16 by the heavenly calendar (November 4) at 5:09pm, the Tasting Event to celebrate the opening of the HyoJeong Café was held with True Parents. True Parents first tasted tonkatsu, tonkotsu ramen and then fish cake udon.
Then, at 5:50pm, True Parents moved to the Café Kona Queens on the 3rd floor where They drank a cup of tea and ate Las Vegas cheesecake. True Parents asked the leaders who attended to sing songs; it was a joyful moment for all attendees to join together as being in Heaven on Earth. | 2019-04-22T20:14:26Z | http://en.cptc.kr/subpage.php?p=cafe_history |

If you have left the days of a full-time career behind because it’s finally time for retirement, then you may be finding life a little more difficult without that full-time income.
Those who have managed to set aside a bit of savings will fair a bit better, but it’s really hard for those trying to live only on what Social Security has deemed acceptable. Regardless of your financial state, saving money is a good idea at any age.
These are a few ways that you can save money and still thoroughly enjoy your retirement years.
You’ll want a cell phone for purposes of both safety and convenience, but there’s no reason you have to lock yourself into a plan that eats up a huge amount of your monthly income. Jitterbug offers easy-to-use cell phones and inexpensive cell phone plans that start at no more than $14.99 per month. Taking the time to explore various inexpensive cell phone plans can keep you connected and save you from unexpected charges at the end of the month.
Age comes with benefits that often include discounts at restaurants and movies, but there are many more discounts to be had when you join your local branch of AARP. All you have to do is flash that membership card, and you’ll be eligible for savings on a variety of goods and services that may include flights, hotels, shopping, car repair, eye exams, security systems and much more. Membership is only $16 per year, and it’s even less if you sign up for more than one year at a time. You can learn more by calling 1-888-687-2277.
You don’t have to be uncomfortable to bring down those monthly bills. If you’re all alone in the same house that you raised your family in, then you probably aren’t using all of the rooms. In this case, simply shut the vents in any rooms that aren’t regularly occupied, and your heating and cooling bills will fall fast. Unplugging anything that is not in use at the moment will also lower your electric bill. You might not think that an appliance or an electronic device such as a printer would use electricity when it’s not in use, but everything that is plugged in uses some energy.
Unless you spend all of your time browsing the web, you can save that monthly fee by using the connection at your local library for free. If you have a laptop, then you won’t have to sit around waiting to use the library’s computers, and you’ll be able to stay as long as you like. The library is also a great place to borrow books and movies instead of buying them, and libraries often offer free activities on a regular basis that you may enjoy.
You’ve probably noticed that it’s cheaper to buy in bulk, but that’s not really practical for a single person or even a couple. Shop with a buddy, and you can buy in bulk together and share. It’s also nice to prepare meals for each other once a week with your great buys.
Do you have some other strategy you use to save during retirement? We’d love to hear your suggestions in the comments below.

We work on basics. Lessons in ballet and contemporary dance forms with a very strong focus on clean dance technique are the everyday base of the three coming years. Special coaching lessons in small groups guarantee maximal results. Theory classes in pedagogiy, dance-history and anatomy broaden the understanding of dance.
A quite radical change happens: every week new international guest teachers bring the numerous diverse styles of contemporary dance and modern partner work to the students. Line 2 students start with advanced pedagogic classes.
New subjects - improvisation, choreography and pedagogy (line 2) - demand openness and artistic sensitivity. The results are shown in "choreographic labs" in the nearby theatre. First grants are awarded, either for exchange projects or for international workshops.
The focus is put on stage appearance or the pedagogic diploma thesis. International guest choreographers work with the students for their final performance.
In the final phase we send students to their first auditions, state theatres all over Germany invite students to present themselves in "work experience weeks".
Each student prepares a solo as a piece for the exams. On the last day of three exciting years, the soli are shown on stage and the diplomas are handed over. | 2019-04-21T13:11:49Z | https://www.iwanson.de/english/program/objectives.html |
Featuring a live music ensemble.
An angel named Queen tells the tale of Esther, Jamal and Saint; three kids who grow up together in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn.
“I try to make art that disrupts things”- Rock WILK.
Brooklyn Quartet is a fictional tale that is bookmarked by the very real story of Sean Bell being shot to death in 2006 in an altercation with NYC Police officers. It is a story about 3 kids who grow up together in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn, who become best friends; who love each other, and who eventually almost destroy one another, and is told by an angel named Queen. It is an exploration of how life treats each of them, both individually and collectively, over the course of 20 years, quite differently, simply because of who each of them are. Saint is black, Jamaal is white and Esther is Latina. The story is sprinkled with racism, sexism and white privilege, but mainly Brooklyn Quartet is a love story; a beautifully tragic love story.
Rock WILK (writer and performer) – Rock is an award winning and multi disciplinary artist and performer. He has had the opportunity to share his work all over the world.

While Melbourne was suffering through a crippling depression in the 1890s, goldfields towns in central Victoria were given to ostentatious displays of wealth. In the cases of Maryborough, Ballarat and Bendigo, one such display was the stately grandstands built at the town's main sporting venues. A century later, we can all be grateful.
The Bendigo stand was built in 1901, in time for the Ashes cricket tour of that summer. Using bricks and ironwork cast by a renowned local foundry, the workmanship was superb. But besides the robust display of confidence by the city burghers, possibly the stand's greatest achievement was its nod to the common man.
The late Bendigo historian Frank Cusack wrote that the grandstand was a striking expression, in bricks and mortar, of the egalitarianism that animated Australian politics around the time of Federation. Boot-makers and street-sweepers could watch the game alongside councillors and engineers. It was a far cry from members' enclosures at racetracks.
Jim Evans, president of the Bendigo Historical Society, this week took The Age through a short history of the grandstand and the ground that was known as the Upper Reserve before being renamed the Queen Elizabeth Oval. He confirmed that the grandstand was a statement of prosperity but he was unwilling to sit on its wooden seats.
On a cold day, he said, the stand failed to offer protection against the wind. While a lonely teenager listened to his Walkman in the grandstand, Evans explained that the louvres at the back of the stand ensured a draught. "They were put there to make sure there was a breeze during hot days at the cricket," he said.
The best alternative was to sit in a brick dugout on the boundary line. Behind the dugout were the grandstand and the charming wooden press box. Ahead was a view over the oval towards the elms and peppercorns that lower over the wooden shelter on the far wing.
Behind the city-end goals is the caretaker's house. In the 1950s, the caretaker would place a big radio on his veranda during Bendigo Football League games to enable spectators to hear the races from Melbourne.
Before each race, spectators would bet with the SP bookie, then crowd against the caretaker's fence, cocking their ears.
The 1950s are widely considered the golden age of Bendigo football. In the days before car ownership and television began diverting attention to Melbourne, the Bendigo grandstand would heave and crowds would pack six and seven-deep to watch heroes such as Noel McMahen, a Melbourne premiership captain who went to Rochester.
In 1955, spectators saw arguably Bendigo's greatest individual performance in the grand final between the QEO co-tenants, Sandhurst and South Bendigo. Kevin Curran, a former war hero and Hawthorn captain, was playing-coach at Sandhurst. South Bendigo burst ahead early and led by nine goals to one at half-time.
Teeming rain seemed to rule out Sandhurst's chance before Curran imposed his will on the game. Like a bullock dragging a stump, he hauled the Dragons within sight of victory before South Bendigo held on to win by a point. In the grand final two years later, Eaglehawk defeated Kyneton by five goals before 16,600, an attendance that remains the record.
This season, the main visitors have been VFL teams taking on the Bendigo Bombers, the club formed by the alliance between Essendon and the Bendigo Diggers. The alliance has proved fruitful on the field, with the Bombers about mid-table, but many remain wary of the interlopers from Melbourne.
The feeling was enhanced last month when the Bombers' coaching staff was dissatisfied with the surface of the QEO, specifically the boggy cricket pitch area, and moved a game to Windy Hill. Bendigo footballers have been dragging their feet from the centre wicket for two decades; the Essendon boys were thought to be spoilt.
Until two decades ago, the centre of the QEO would have been no boggier than the wings. In those days, there were two cricket pitches, one towards the city end and the other towards Barnard Street. Square pockets provided the chance to create two uniform fields of oblong shape.
Last year, the Bendigo city council sparked outrage when it ruled that, since there was now only one central cricket pitch, there was no need for square pockets. The pockets would be cut off by nine metres to create an oval. The distinctive picket fence would be brought in accordingly.
The refurbishment was set to go before the drought forced a delay. Traditionalists mustered forces, bombarding the Bendigo Advertiser with letters, while the Bendigo Football League prepared its submission towards keeping the pockets. Sandhurst and South Bendigo were especially vehement. In the end, the council was forced to reverse its decision.
Works are set to proceed after this season. As well as a refurbishment, a multi-sporting complex is to be built behind the Barnard Street goals. The square pockets are said to be safe, but some are unconvinced that debate over the ground's shape is closed. Such is the passion aroused by one of Victoria's premier sporting venues. | 2019-04-25T20:52:50Z | https://www.theage.com.au/sport/city-showpiece-stands-proud-20030823-gdw8e7.html |

4th of july 2014 started out much like 4th of july 2013...at la verne's annual parade.
aside from the bean and the hub's partner's little boy, henry here served as the official lordsburg cigar co. mascot for the day.
i dig the official parade vehicle. super cool, right?
even our donuts were celebrating.
what's a parade without candy? and flyers for the upcoming car show, of course.
and a couple of selfies for good measure.
it was a good ten-plus degrees cooler in the shade. ugh, SO hot.
the bean got to sit in the driver's seat of a fire truck for about five seconds.
the people behind us in the parade were dressed in some crazy patriotic get-ups, and one lady inexplicably wore a pirate ship on her head. i mean, hey...why not, right? i guess.
i started off walking behind the truck, handing out flyers to the folks watching the parade from their comfy chairs on the sidewalk.
didn't take long for me to hop up onto the truck to take a ride, though. it was fun gliding through the route, waving and calling out "happy 4th of july!" happily to everyone.
i don't think any large public gathering ever gets away without at least one of these, do you?
although these guys were a surprise. who knew storm troopers even know where la verne WAS?
after some lunch, a round of showers, and a nap for everybody, we headed down to the beach to escape the heat and grab some delicious dinner.
then we hung out on the pier for a while, hoping to catch a decent view of the fireworks shows visible up and down the coast.
to pass the time, we went through a few different configurations of group photos.
because, i mean, ICE CREAM. | 2019-04-24T00:01:10Z | https://www.wanlifetolive.com/2014/07/parade-poop-pictures.html |

Trading Bitcoin comes with a great deal of risk sometimes but these can be avoided very easily. In this article, we’re going to discuss the trading Bitcoin risk that every trader takes and how to make sure that your investment is successful.
Bitcoin is a highly volatile digital investment, and I’m sure that even cryptocurrency enthusiasts know that well. However, it’s also one of the fastest growing digital assets today. It has been growing due to the growing community behind cryptocurrencies and specifically Bitcoin. You might think that volatility is a bad thing for traders, but you would be wrong. When there’s high volatility in the market, the price shifts are pretty unpredictable. However, the general trend of the coin remains the same. Thus, if you have a solid reasoning for why Bitcoin will rise in value today, you should buy even though it’s a volatile market. However, you can only make money from rising markets in Bitcoin trading. Shorting is pretty complex in the real world, that’s why we suggest using CFDs of Bitcoin. You can be careful and avoid the Bitcoin risk of trading.
Leverage trading is essentially like buying commodities on a loan from your broker. You need to put in around 50% of the trade, the rest of it is paid by the broker. Think of it like this, the bigger the loan that the broker is ready to give you, the bigger your trade size can be.So the profit would be all yours, minus the capital that was borrowed. Therefore, it’s pretty useful to trade on margin since you can make higher trades. For example, leverage trading lets you bet much more than the capital you have. That means you could invest $5000 in a $50,000 commodity. If the price of the commodity rises by 50%, your profit on an investment of $5000 would be $25000. If you didn’t use Bitcoin Leverage Trading, your profit would be around $2500. Be careful, however, this brings on many risks as well. Beginner traders should always be very careful with trading in Bitcoin leverage. Even though this increases the Bitcoin risk of trading, you can set stop losses to minimize losses.
The risk-management tools that are offered to each user on Plus500 are a great way to minimize your risks. These tools allow you to minimize your loss when for example you speculate that Bitcoin prices will rise, and it eventually plummets, the program will automatically change your position when the price drops to a specific level. This is called a guaranteed stop loss and it’s very useful for day traders. Hedging is also one of the most important tools in trading since one needs to implement risk management strategies in volatile times. Hedging in trading refers to opening two positions in the market. If you were to make a profit on one trade, you’d make a loss on the other. For example, you go long and short on the same asset, which would technically nullify any losses or profits. Thus your total capital stays protected. This tactic rather than strategy is very important in volatile times. You can read about more Bitcoin strategies in our article here.
You can use Plus500 for trading and benefit from these risk management strategies and our article on how to invest in Bitcoin using Plus500. | 2019-04-22T12:01:39Z | http://wikicrypto.com/bitcoin-risk-must-know-trading/ |

Gaara Arts is a group of women who also happen to be Broken Hill artists. Since forming in 2008, they have become an independent, incorporated entity, producing prolific work. Primarily, they respond to issues that face women in society by raising community awareness of these issues through exhibitions of their artworks at the Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery and other public venues. Biannually, an exhibition is timed to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8. In 2012, the theme of the International Women’s Day exhibition is “Plastic Lives – A Woman’s Tale”.
The 40 works of art on display, in a variety of media, reveal a wide interpretation of this theme. Add to this, an innovative move into multimedia and the scope of interpretation is broadened even further.
Each painting has been thoughtfully assessed by a poet who has then written an ekphrastic poem which seeks to interpret and, sometimes, confront their subjects. Local Broken Hill poets joined with metropolitan and interstate scribes to compose their works which will hang beside the paintings in the main gallery of the Regional Art Gallery in Argent Street.
One such poet is Sheryl Persson, an ekphrastic poet who transcribes visual art into poetry. Sheryl’s poetry group, DiVerse, performs regularly at the National Gallery and the Art Gallery of NSW. She has written a collection of poems, Scarcely Random, and has had articles and stories published widely. Sheryl will join other poets and the Gaara artists in at the Gallery for the opening of the “Plastic Lives” exhibition at 6.30pm on Friday, March 9. The exhibition will run until April 22nd.
Betty Pearson is the President and Angela Fitzpatrick the Vice-President of Gaara for 2012, while established artists such as Jenny Cattonar, Deirdre Edwards and Wendy Martin act as mentors for other emerging painters.
The group is hoping to repeat the success of the opening of their previous exhibition, “One Barrow, One Shovel”, which attracted 200 people to the art and memorabilia show in December last year.
All I can add is that I wish I could be there on the opening night. Luckily I will be back in Broken Hill at some point during the exhibition nonetheless, so I can’t wait to see it, it sounds quite fascinating.
Really enjoyed the upstairs exhibition by emarging artist Jade Manly - the exhibition was called Interactions - very interesting! | 2019-04-20T18:14:21Z | http://www.ilovebrokenhill.com/2012/03/international-womens-day-2012-art.html |

Last weekend I just finished reading Naive Set Theory by Paul Halmos, and I think it would be good to write down some thoughts and interesting proofs in the book while the material is still fresh in my mind.
A pure function is a function that always evaluates to the same results given the same inputs, and does not produce any side effects in the process. There are many advantages to using pure functions. In this blog post I will show how we can still effectively use pure functions to handle state. Most of my code examples would be in Python, but I also show equivalent Haskell code for some examples. Only basic knowledge of Haskell syntax and its type system is needed to understand the Haskell code, and I believe that looking at the type signatures of the Haskell functions would help in understanding the Python code too. | 2019-04-25T20:41:57Z | http://pyvisualizer.chenyang.co/blog/ |

Barrel worked with Cornell Tech to streamline the design system for the Cornell Tech website and replatform the website from Expression Engine to WordPress. Opened in 2017, Cornell Tech is Cornell University’s campus on Roosevelt Island in New York City focused on graduate-level engineering programs.
As a result of several phases of modifications from different design/technology teams, the Cornell Tech website had become a disjointed user experience and challenging to manage for the Cornell Tech team. Barrel’s engagement started with an in-depth information architecture and design system audit that resulted in a new modular system that provides visual consistency and a scalable platform for growth. The site architecture was streamlined from the ground up including a new navigation and consolidation of pages.
With the new modular design system, the website was rebuilt with new front-end markup including best practices for ADA compliance. The WordPress CMS was customized to support the modular approach across templates and hosted on Pantheon for performance and security. The Barrel team developed custom content migration scripts from Expression Engine to WordPress and implemented redirects to maintain SEO visibility for the site.
The Cornell Tech website adds to Barrel’s portfolio of clients in higher education including Columbia University and Princeton University.

I am always in awe of lamp work artists. They not only work with molten glass but they manage to create truly unique beads and focals. If you are making handmade jewelry, why not use a handmade bead? One which no one else has.
Jeannie Galt is a Canadian lamp work artist who lives in Ontario. She specializes in one of a kind art beads as you can see from her store, JEANNIESBEADS.
My favorites are her tree beads - simply stunning landscapes using silvered glass. Her colorful art beads remind me of modern art. Jeannie also makes button beads!
I have some of her beads (bought at bead shows in Michigan). They really are beautiful!
I've had to bookmark Jeannie's store of course. Her work is gorgeous! | 2019-04-21T14:19:58Z | https://www.beadinggem.com/2019/04/lampwork-art-beads-by-jeanninesbeads.html |

Like tornadoes, typhoons and hurricanes happen when warm air mixes with cold air, creating intense wind, rain and flooding. Typhoons and hurricanes are the same type of storm, but they happen in different places. Typhoons occur in the Pacific Ocean around Hawaii and Asia. Hurricanes occur on the eastern seaboard along the United States and Central America.
Typhoons and hurricanes happen when warm air mixes with cold air, creating intense wind, rain and flooding.
Hurricanes can be up to 600 miles wide. They move slowly over the ocean, gaining power and speed.
When they hit land, they can cause flooding and destroy buildings and cars.
Hurricane winds can blow up to 200 miles per hour.
In the center of a hurricane is the eye of the storm. In this area, the weather is calm.
Hurricanes can last more than a week, making them very destructive.
When hurricanes hit land, they can cause flooding and destroy buildings and cars.
A video all about typhoons and hurricanes and how they work.
Question: What should I do in case a Typhoon or a Hurricane will hit my area?
Answer: Leave the area if you can. If not, board up your home and stock up on supplies like water, food, pet supplies, batteries, gas and money. After a hurricane, people often go for many days without water, food or electricity.

Sony surprised everyone when it released the A9, a flagship camera designed for the ultimate performance in the realm of autofocus and speed. By comparison, the A7r III may appear inferior, especially if you seek the ultimate accuracy for sports and wildlife, but it excels in other departments such as landscapes and still life thanks to its stunning high-resolution image sensor.
The paragraph above is a good summary of the main differences between these two full-frame mirrorless cameras, but it is worth remembering that, despite having been designed for specific genres, they are both extremely versatile and can excel for most types of photography, not just the ones for which they are intended.
So how exactly do they compare? Well, here are the five most important aspects to keep in mind!
Ethics statement: We rented the A9 to test its autofocus and electronic shutter capabilities and we replaced our A7r II with the A7r III. We were not asked to write anything about these cameras, nor were we provided with any sort of compensation. Within the article, there are affiliate links. If you decided to buy something after clicking the link, we will receive a small commission. To know more about our ethics, you can visit our full disclosure page. Thank you!
7 Conclusion: A7r III vs A9, which one to get?
If you look at the two cameras side by side, it’s hard to tell which is which. The only real giveaway is the name on the front of the camera.
The design isn’t too dissimilar from the A7r mark II which shows Sony’s commitment to keeping the dimensions as compact as possible despite some relevant hardware improvements such as a larger battery.
Both cameras feature weather sealing against dust and moisture and have a magnesium alloy chassis. The mount is now attached with six screws rather than four. The dimensions are basically identical: the A9 is slightly heavier, although in the real world you won’t notice any difference really.
Sony added lots of practical design upgrades as we’ll see further down, but both have one flaw: the grip. When using large and heavy lenses such as the 100-400mm G Master, I find it very uncomfortable after a few days of use. There isn’t enough space for all your fingers and too much weight rests on your middle finger.
It’s a shame that Sony didn’t make a larger and taller grip like the other brands did (think about the Panasonic G9 or the OM-D E-M1 II). That being said, there are solutions to improve this like buying the optional battery grip, the smaller GP-X1EM horizontal grip or third-party solutions.
The fact that the two cameras are very much alike means that they have much in common including a large shooting mode dial with an unlock button on top, two dials on the front and rear to control the exposure, a command wheel and a precise AF Joystick.
The A9 has an additional twin dial on top to control the drive and focus modes which is very handy and would have been welcome on the A7r III as well. There are two unlock buttons that you must press – a central one for the Drive dial and a side one for the Focus mode dial – but the latter especially isn’t very intuitive to use at first.
One small difference concerns the rear exposure dial: it sticks out more on the mark III model which makes it slightly easier to rotate than on the A9, but this is heavy nitpicking!
When it comes to function buttons and menus, these are two of the most customisable mirrorless cameras on the market today. Both products feature 13 custom keys including the AF joystick (when pressed) and the control wheel. The A7r III gives you an extra possibility: to configure the buttons separately for stills and movies which is very clever. The number of settings you can choose between for each custom key is ridiculously high on both cameras.
The menu system is exhaustive and Sony improved the navigation by re-organising all the entries under clearer pages and categories. It’s still not the best you can find on the market but it is much better than before. There is the Fn menu with 12 configurable slots and the My menu page where you can shortcut to various settings. The Memory Recalls with 3 slots on the main dials allow you to quickly recall a series of settings (the one you would use to photograph sports for example).
It takes a little while to find the optimal configuration and you will probably find yourself going back and changing some things to improve the user experience. Once you get there though, there is very little to complaint about.
The electronic viewfinders are the same and are among the best you can find. They use an OLED panel with 3,686k dots and 0.78x magnification. They are very clear and crisp with accurate colours and a decent eye point of 23mm.
The higher resolution of the EVF has improved the various manual focus assists. Focus magnification in particular is now extremely sharp on the A7r III in stills mode. In video mode the resolution is not as good but still better than before. The refresh rate can be selected between Standard (50 or 60fps) or High (100 or 120fps).
The rear monitor has 1.44M dots and touch sensitivity. The latter can be used to enlarge an image in playback mode and move the focus point, but there is not much more you can do. On the A7r III however you can find more options to enhance the precision.
You can decide to use the touch screen when composing with the rear monitor only or leave it active when using the EVF, which becomes an alternative to the AF Joystick (although I much prefer the latter). When using the touch screen while framing with the EVF, you can decide to keep only the left or right side of the monitor active (1/2 or 1/4 portion) or even just one of the four corners. After touching the area once, the entire screen becomes active to make it easy to move the focus point to where you want it to be.
Overall the touch screen is reactive and precise but I prefer working with the AF joystick. I find the touch operation more useful in movie mode where you can trigger a change in focus by simply tapping the monitor. Putting AF Drive Speed to Slow and AF Track Sens to Normal makes the operation smooth and pleasant.
Batteries: they use the new NP-FZ100 battery which improves the endurance dramatically. One charge was sufficient for 2000 images during my ‘birds in flight’ and football sessions. Please note that since firmware 2.0, the A7R III gives you a warning if you use third party batteries. (More info here).
Connections: they share a microphone input, headphone output, Micro HDMI, USB 2.0 Multi and a flash sync port. The A7r III has an additional USB 3.0 Type C interface while the A9 features an Ethernet/LAN connection. The USB port can be used for tethering and battery charging and the VG-C3EM battery grip works for both cameras.
Wireless: NFC, Wifi and Bluetooth are available on both cameras with advanced functions such as FTP Transfer.
Extra features: not a lot except some bracketing functions. The cameras also lack a built-in intervalometer and there is no compatibility with the PlayMemories app as of now. The A9 has more advanced settings concerning FTP transfer thanks to various firmware updates.
There are some relevant differences as we will see just below but it’s safe to say that both cameras do a great job when it comes to image quality. The 24MP of the Sony A9 are enough for many situations while the A7r III gives the most demanding photographers something extra to work with.
Let’s kick off with the most obvious difference: the A7r III has more resolution with 42.4MP versus the 24.2MP found on the A9.
Both sensors are based on BSI technology which allows each pixel to collect light more efficiently but the A9 has a more complex structure, a stacked sensor that improves the speed of the camera (more on this further down).
If we look at the dynamic range capabilities, we can see that the A7r III is better at shadow recovery: more details are preserved and there is less colour noise. Highlight recovery is much more similar.
The A7r III has a normal ISO range of 100 to 32000 and extended values that go as low as 50 and as high as 102,400. The A9 has range of 100 to 51200 and extended levels of pull 50 and up to 204,800.
In the test below, you can see that the A7r mark III defends itself well up to 12800 ISO. With higher values the A9 shows less noise. As usual I processed the RAW files by adding a little bit of noise reduction to get rid of colour noise and reduce luminance noise a little without sacrificing details. The same amount of NR worked for the two cameras until 25600 where I had to increase the values more on the A7r III files.
As for the colour profiles (or Creative Styles as Sony calls them), they are the same on both cameras and the colour and skin tone rendering is very similar. The JPG engine is excellent and Sony made some subtle yet nice improvements to colours. The Auto White Balance works well while some of the presets such as Daylight or Shade can be either too cool or too warm with an unpleasant yellowish tint. As for portraits, I prefer to stick with the Standard profile or simply work with the RAW files as again there is a tendency toward too much yellow rendering.
Both cameras have 5-axis stabilisation: the A7r III is rated at 5.5 stops while the A9 is half a stop less efficient with a 5Ev rating according to the CIPA standards. Technically the A9 should have a disadvantage but in my stress tests I noticed the contrary. The A9 did better, giving me a perfect shot at 1/2s and an almost-perfect shot at 1s hand-held with the 55mm f1.8. From 1/4s and 1/8s, the keeper rate increases.
The A7r III struggles more: the keeper rate improves from 1/4s if you use the electronic first curtain shutter but to be safe I advise you not to go below 1/10s.
The mark III model has an extra feature that takes advantage of the in-body stabilisation technology called Pixel Shift Multi Shoot. It takes four pictures and moves the sensor by 1 pixel between each shot. Once the four images are combined, you get more details and better colour accuracy because each point of your image is captured by at least one green, one red and one blue pixel. A similar feature can be found on several Olympus cameras and the Panasonic G9.
As you can see from the example below, the difference is noticeable when zooming in.
There are some limitations to be aware of: the minimum interval between shots is half a second (firmware 1.10), so it only works with static scenes featuring non-moving elements. The final photograph must be composited with the Sony Imaging Edge Software and the output resolution doesn’t change: your still get 42MP but with crisper details and more colour information.
This feature is limited to still life really. It can work for landscapes and architecture as long as everything is dead still. When in doubt, just remember you can always use one of the four images and retain the same resolution.
Both cameras work with a hybrid autofocus system. The A9 has the most advanced ever designed by Sony with 693 phase and 25 contrast detection points. The phase points cover almost the entire surface of the sensor. The A7r III uses an older system that has been tweaked to improve the performance: you find 399 phase and 425 contrast detection points.
In S-AF mode both cameras work well. With the single area (Centre or Flexible Spot) they tend to use contrast detection which at times can produce some back and forth movements of the lens elements. With other areas such as Zone, it is either contrast or phase detection depending on the area the camera decides to focus on.
But it is in continuous AF that you really see the potential of these two cameras and more importantly, where you see why the A9 is the fastest mirrorless camera on the market when it comes to autofocus. I put them to the test with very fast and difficult subjects such as birds in flight and a football game in low light.
The A9 passed the test with flying colours when it comes to BIF. As explained in my wildlife round-up, the camera matches the performance of one of the best in class (Nikon D500) with a keeper rate of 80% (only perfectly sharp shots are counted). The camera rarely loses track of the subject and rarely misses the focus completely. Some improvements have been added via firmware since I did my tests (version 2.0 and 3.0).
The A7r III struggles more with BIF. You are still capable of retaining a decent keeper rate of around 65% and the camera is fast at locking and tracking the subject but the focus accuracy is just not as good as the A9.
In low light situations the performance is more similar but the A9 tends to mis-focus less in comparison to the A7r III. In the end, I had an 80% keeper rate with the former and a 75% keeper rate with the latter, so both did well. If I wanted to pixel peep, I could mention a lack of tack sharp focus for several images but the lens I used didn’t help because it had a slow aperture of f/4.5-5.6.
There is a good number of options concerning the AF areas, AF modes and extra features. One of my favourites is EyeAF which is the most reliable Eye detection system you can find among mirrorless cameras. It is a great ally when shooting portraits and people in general.
You will find the new AF Track Sens that allows you to set the responsiveness of the autofocus (5/responsive gives you better results for BIF for example). The Centre Lock-On mode found on many other Sony cameras allows the camera to detect a subject at the centre of your image and then track it no matter where it is inside the frame. Face detection is good and unlike EyeAF, you don’t need to assign it to a function button as the camera detects and tracks it automatically.
Last but not least, the phase detection points allow you to use DSLR lenses with compatible adapters and retain excellent autofocus performance. With the A9 there is a limitation though: you cannot go faster than 10fps in continuous mode.
While the A7r III defends itself well when it comes to AF performance, the A9 has other advantages that help it stand out as a sports and wildlife camera.
Its stacked sensor features a high-speed circuit and an internal memory behind the chip that increase the processing capabilities considerably when using the electronic shutter.
With the mechanical shutter, the A9 can work at a mediocre 5fps. When switched over to the electronic shutter however, the maximum speed available increases to 20fps while retaining full AE/AF Tracking.
By comparison, the A7r III has a maximum of 10fps which is faster than the A9 with the mechanical shutter, but the speed doesn’t increase when using the electronic version which means that overall the A9 is twice as fast.
Another difference is found in the buffer capabilities although it’s fair to remember that in addition to the stacked sensor, the A9 has less resolution which helps the camera process the images faster.
To give you a quick idea, if we compare the buffer with the same continuous shooting speed of 10fps, the A9 can shoot in compressed RAW for more than 20 seconds with a UHS-I card and more than 30 seconds with a UHS-II card before dropping to around 4fps.
The A7r III by comparison can last for 8s with RAW (compressed) regardless of the type of card used, before reducing the speed to around 2fps.
It is also interesting to note that the A9 has a larger buffer than the A7r III even when the speed brought up to 20fps.
The A9 wins in the speed department, but it’s not just because of the continuous shooting and buffer performance. The stacked sensor allows the camera to process much more information simultaneously, and the faster sensor readout means less distortion and banding when using the electronic shutter. In fact the rolling shutter effects we often see from other cameras – including the A7r III – are basically absent from the A9.
Finally we have the cherry on top: thanks to the powerful processing speed, the A9 can capture images at 10fps or 20fps while maintaining a constant live view of the scene. This means no blackouts and no lag whatsoever in the viewfinder or rear monitor when you start shooting. By comparison, the A7r III shows you a live view with blackouts up to 8fps (with or without the e-shutter). At 10fps it displays the last image taken in rapid succession which means there is no longer a live view.
Being able to shoot with live view and no blackouts makes a difference with fast action. I immediately noticed the benefit for birds in flight. With the A9, you can follow the action as if you were watching a video stream in real time, so as soon as something happens – like a bird suddenly changing direction – you can react more quickly. This is something not even DSLRs can offer.
When using the A7r III, I could immediately notice the lag produced by the last image taken at 10fps. As for the live view with blackouts at 8fps, it is more annoying when following a fast subject, especially when it is against the bright sky. The same reasoning applies to football games and other situations.
To summarise, I admit it is difficult to go back to another camera once you’ve tested the true capabilities of the A9 for action. The blackout free live view is certainly one of the most interesting innovations seen in the last couple of years because it surpasses the physical limitations of a mechanical shutter and eliminates the flaws seen so far with other electronic shutters.
Bit depth: the RAW files drop from 14-bit to 12-bit when using the electronic shutter. On the A9 they remain 14-bit with the single shot but drop to 12-bit in continuous mode. That being said, I haven’t noticed any problem with my images, even when comparing my A9 soccer photos against the ones taken with the A7r III and the mechanical shutter.
Silent mode: electronic shutter means that if you wish, you can shoot without emitting a single noise (it’s actually called Silent Shutter on the A7r III). With the A9 I would advise caution because it is very easy to start shooting a burst by mistake without realising it.
There are some significant differences between these two cameras when it comes to the video capabilities. Some of them have a technical explanation while others feel more like a marketing decision.
Both can record 4K video up to 30p using the XAVC S codec at 100Mbps. The A9 uses the entire width of the sensor to perform full pixel readout without pixel binning which means you get the best quality in 35mm mode. Because of the higher pixel count, the A7r III gives you the best results in Super35/APS-C mode. The difference in quality is noticeable in the fine details and at high ISOs.
Although the level of detail isn’t dissimilar in full frame mode, the A7r III can display moiré easily unlike the A9. Switch the former to Super35 and not only does the moiré disappear, but you also get sharper details.
At high sensitivities, the A7r III in full frame mode displays more visible colour noise than the Super35 format from 3200 ISO. Overall the A9 displays less noise but the A7r III retains more sharpness in crop mode.
The mark III model has a significant advantage concerning dynamic range because – unlike the A9 – it has the picture profiles designed for video which include two S-Log gamma curves and one HLG profile. The A9 can only rely on the Creative Styles modes, which are designed for stills and can easily clip highlights and shadows. I honestly can’t see a reason why Sony didn’t include the Picture Profiles on the A9 since they can be found on most E-mount cameras and also the RX series. I can only hope they will bring them in the future via firmware update.
The image stabilisation performance is very similar although I noticed more jittering and jerkiness on the A9. They do a good job of making a fixed shot reasonably stable but I wouldn’t rely on the IBIS for more than that if you want perfectly smooth footage.
The autofocus performance is very similar. The A9 feels a little faster and more accurate at times but overall the A7r III is at the same level. Face detection works well although both cameras can lag a little bit when tracking close subjects. There is rarely any hesitation when acquiring focus though.
Other settings found on both: Zebra Pattern, Time Code/User Bit, clean HDMI output, marker display, still extraction from video files.
Conclusion: A7r III vs A9, which one to get?
All things considered, the Sony A7r III feels like the most balanced and versatile camera if you want one product for multiple genres. It has one of the best sensors on the market with lots of dynamic range and resolution to satisfy even the most demanding photographers, and its low light performance is surprisingly good up to 12800 ISO. It has a good autofocus system capable of dealing with difficult situations and excellent 4K video with lots of settings and options.
The A9 feels like the designated winner for everything involving action but the truth is that it can be used for more than that. Yes, it is for sports and wildlife that you can fully take advantage of the stunning autofocus and continuous shooting speeds, but the blackout free live view can be useful for other things as well. After all, what’s not to like about a camera than never produces any lag when taking a picture. Far from indispensable in many situations, I agree, but also dangerously addictive!
The 24MP sensor is inferior when it comes to dynamic range but it remains more than enough for many applications, plus the lower resolution means you’re dealing with smaller files which can be ideal when your work requires fast processing and transferring. The A9 has slightly better ISO performance which is welcome and its only Achille heels is found in the video department: despite being capable of excellent 4K video, not having the picture profiles limits its quality and versatility.
The design, EVF, touch screen and ease of use are very much the same on both products so really it all comes down to what I wrote above, unless small details like an Ethernet Port or an extra setting here and there can play a crucial role in your decision making process. The A9 does better with image stabilisation for stills but the A7r III produces less jittering for video.
Personally, I chose the A7r III. One of the reasons is that having the best sensor among all E-mount cameras is useful for our reviews and comparisons. That said, if I was still working as an events photographer or decided to take wildlife and sports really seriously, the A9 could easily become my favourite choice. | 2019-04-19T14:38:59Z | https://mirrorlesscomparison.com/sony-vs-sony/a7riii-vs-a9/ |
Intel continues to pull in massive amounts of money through its portfolio of datacenter wares and to dominate the market for processors in the glass house. But as we have talked about here at The Next Platform, Intel has issues relating to its increasingly relevant competitors and its chip roadmaps – in particular the delayed 10 nanometer manufacturing process – remain a focus in the industry. Longtime rival AMD is at the head of all this, with its Epyc server processors based on the “Zen” architecture expected to continue chipping away at Intel’s massive market share, which is still well north of 95 percent.
At the same time, AMD is planning to roll out 7 nanometer “Rome” Epyc processors in 2019, based on chip making techniques developed by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp, which is a year before Intel is expected to come out with its own 10 nanometer Xeon processors. The whole situation has the air of what happened in the early 2000s, when AMD was able to grab more than 20 percent of the server chip market with the release of its 64-bit Opteron processors, catching Intel flat-footed as it continued to hold out hope for Itanium as its 64-bit future. Add in IBM with its Power9 processor and OpenPower Foundation effort as well as Arm-based processors like ThunderX2 from Cavium – now owned by Marvell – and the server chip market is looking pretty crowded and Intel is, to some, a little more vulnerable. Intel historically boasted its strength in manufacturing, so its inability to reach 10 nanometer processes at this point also is a concern.
It’s a scenario that Intel has been pushing back against for several quarters and did again this week at its Data Center Innovation Summit at its home stomping grounds in Silicon Valley, where journalists and analysts came to its campus and were given a look at what that chip vendor has been doing and where it’s going. That includes its Xeon roadmap, where another two generations of 14 nanometer chips will roll out later this year (“Cascade Lake”) and in 2019 (“Cooper Lake”), followed by “Ice Lake” in 2020, the first of Intel’s 10 nanometer server processors and confirming what we told you about two weeks ago. And by the way, with much less detail than we gave you.
But the message coming out of Intel during the day-long event was that the company is evolving quickly beyond simply client and server chips to become a platform player with a broad portfolio that includes memory, networking and storage, other compute engines such as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and custom ASICs, software, and capabilities in such emerging areas as artificial intelligence. These and other capabilities contribute to performance enhancements, which is not solely based on manufacturing processes.
Optane DC persistent memory will put a large persistent memory tier between DRAM and SSDs and will provide up to eight times the performance for such workloads as analytics compared to configurations that rely only on DRAM, Shenoy said. Intel began shipping Optane DC units this week. Cascade Lake processors will come with a new integrated memory controller than will enable support for Optane DC persistent memory as well as other upgrades, such as hardware-enhanced security to address such threats like Spectre and Meltdown, higher frequencies, and an optimized cache hierarchy.
Cooper Lake, due out later in 2019, will also bring performance improvements, new I/O features, and more innovations around Optane DC, as well as another AI extension called Bfloat16. It will be a numeric format that’s primarily used for AI and deep learning training workloads.
Few details were released about the Ice Lake Xeons, beyond them being etched in 10 nanometer processors and them being a fast follow-on to Cooper Lake. Intel will also shorten the traditional cadence between client and server chips, according to Shenoy. Usually the datacenter chip in a new architecture would follow the client chip by a year to 18 months; Ice Lake will come a matter of months after the first 10 nanometer client chips, which are expected to arrive in systems in time for the 2019 holiday buying season, he said, and that puts Ice Lake Xeons in early 2020 – just as we have already told you.
In addition, Intel will release new optimized hardware and software stacks with the Cascade Lake Xeons. Since the launch of the Skylake Xeon Scalable Processors last year, the chip maker has been working with more than two dozen partners to create pre-validated integrated hardware-and-software solutions around such workloads as data analysis, HPC, hybrid cloud and networking. With Cascade Lake, the company will roll new solutions around AI with Apache Spark, Blockchain for security, and SAP HANA in-memory processing.
Shenoy argued that the processor roadmap will enable Intel to maintain its dominance in the datacenter. | 2019-04-26T16:04:49Z | https://www.nextplatform.com/2018/08/09/intel-looks-down-the-server-chip-road-to-ice-lake/ |
Disciplines of Execution Mastery aims to enable leaders make successful business innovation by focusing on 10x goals, leveraging lead measures, engaging people, and practicing accountability. This leadership workshop offers leaders new concepts and tools to practice the 4 Disciplines of Execution in the Filipino context.
The most elegant strategies don’t get actualize because many leaders do not know how to execute.
Teams aren’t clear about goals. They don’t know which measures bring results. They don’t keep score. They are not engaged. They don’t feel accountable.
People don’t know the goal.
Leaders will not commit to something they don’t know. Goals are meant to be shared. Goals must be meaningful. Goals must be inspiring to everyone so you get everyone to commit to it.
Too many goals overwhelm people. Goals are meant to stretch people and encourage them to break their fast records. Unfortunately, in many organizations leaders think that more goals you have, the bigger thinker you are.
Actually, big thinkers focus on big goals.
People don’t know what to do to achieve the goal.
Everywhere, you find managers give too generic goals like improve performance or make customers happy. Vague and broad statements are not achievable. You will not know when you reach it.
Some employees fail that they are burdened with unnecessary task. Too much work becomes an excuse for low performance. They are working hard anyway.
Many employees fail to achieve goals because they don’t know the critical actions that will lead to the achievement of specific goals.
Most employees work 8 to 5. They have job descriptions. They get evaluated once a year. Most of them don’t know their performance profile. They don’t know the daily or weekly success measures they must achieve so they can contribute to the success of the team and the company.
Employees who don’t deliberately perform the vital behaviors needed to help the organization succeed are blind.
Imagine a basketball game without a scoreboard. That’s a game you can’t win.
The common myth is that employees must deliver because they are paid to work. Another one is that they must adjust to the work style of the leaders so they don’t get fired.
Strategies don’t work because many companies have leaders who don’t know how to engage people. They know something carrot and stick.
People want you to engage them. No strategy or elegant idea will be actualized unless people are engaged.
People don’t hold themselves accountable.
In many organizations, they have meetings for almost everything. Very few of these meetings are meant to discuss their progress on work goals.
Mediocre performances are tolerated. Excellent performances are unnoticed. This is why nobody get tasks done and change happen.
The purpose of this leadership workshop is not only for the leaders to learn new information about leading and leadership. The workshop is not only meant to close a competency gap. This leadership workshop is meant to help leaders innovate their business.
This leadership workshop encourages and shows participants how to create a culture of execution inside the organization. They will learn to embed the four disciplines of execution in the life of the organization.
To help organizations get things done, I designed a leadership workshop based on framework of the Four Disciplines of Execution by Chris McChesney, Sean Covey, and Jim Huling. I used 4DX as the framework of this workshop.
I was also inspired by the tools shared by Ram Charan in Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done and I incorporate the tools of Design Thinking and use team plays to encourage maximum learning.
This leadership workshop will provide participants the principles behind the four disciplines and the opportunities for deliberate practice and feedback. They will learn 10x concepts and apply innovation tools. Also, I opted to make the workshop short. Companies will benefit most when they combine this workshop with action learning.
The course will help managers and teams establish a clear line of sight to their 10x goals.
Many managers find it difficult to execute strategic goals. There are too busy to accomplish everything that they find it difficult to focus on few but most important goals again and again.
At every level of leadership, everyone will start building the discipline of getting things done.
Participants will learn, apply, and master the following disciplines.
1. Focus on 10x Goals.
For those who have read Good to Great, you must be familiar with Big Hairy Audacious Goals (BHAGs). They are also known as Wildly Important Goals (WIGs). Here, I call them 10x Goals.
Whatever the name, leaders must start with narrowing the focus. They must clearly identify what must be done. Or you’ll become busy and achieve nothing.
2. Act on the Lead Measures.
Not all activities are equal. Some activities keep you busy. Few activities lead to the achievement of your WIGs. I am referring to the twenty percent of your actions that produce eighty percent of the results.
I am also referring to one action that makes all the others unnecessary.
It is important for your team to give attention to the crucial actions that will lead to your results. Oftentimes, these are just three to five actions that are critical to your success.
3. Keep a Compelling Scoreboard.
The scorecard is an excellent tool for engagement. Everyone gets to measure his performance. With the right kind of scoreboard, you can help your team get things done.
Achievers thrive in a culture of accountability. Each weekly meeting is an opportunity to celebrate success, find solutions to challenges, correct mistakes, and find more ways to accelerate success.
This two-day workshop will provide participants opportunities to learn the four disciplines of execution and use it to achieve their 10x goals.
Practicing the four disciplines of execution create a culture of excellence. Everyone find better ways to get the most important things done.You can learn the 4DX process the easy way.
Accelerate the implementation of 4DX.
Maximum engagement of leaders and teams.
Sustainable change and continuous growth.
This leadership workshop will teach even the busiest leaders how to help teams execute on their highest priorities. | 2019-04-22T11:23:53Z | https://jefmenguin.com/courses/disciplines-of-execution-mastery/ |
Looking For A New Career? Check Out The Weekly Roundup!
There is a TON of valuable information in today’s Weekly Roundup!
Its Friday again, so break out those red shirts!
Looking for a military veteran who is a graphic artist that knows or is willing to learn autocad. This job will include some outside sales.
You can do a search of this blog and find lots of resources for helping with resumes, networking, managing your communications and job interviewing. There is more HERE on our website.
Interested in Energy Jobs? – Clean Energy, Oil and Gas, Electricity and more.
Are you a Veteran or are you Transitioning out of the military? Check out the links below to start your new career in the energy industry.
For the last half of 2014, veteran unemployment was at or lower than civilian unemployment. In fact, many would argue there is no veteran unemployment crisis in this country, and while I agree, this is only half the story. For the most part, veterans who want jobs have jobs. Hence the key word jobs, not careers. The bigger issue is veteran underemployment.
Today’s Armed Forces are the most educated, well-trained, and dedicated military our country has ever seen. There are countless reasons why organizations benefit from hiring veterans, ranging from tax breaks to the knowledge that they are hiring the cream of the crop in the job market. Companies realize this and, without a doubt, are hiring veterans. Although veterans are working, in most cases, they are not working in jobs and positions that reflect their true potential and we as veterans are partially to blame.
I recently had a lengthy discussion with a military veteran who just weeks ago retired after over 20 years of service. This senior NCO had done some amazing things over the course of his career, but the one thing he did not do is prepare himself for life after the service. Because he was part of the drawdown, his retirement basically snuck up on him. He is not alone. Despite the military’s best efforts to prepare transitioners, so many veterans leave the service without a solid exit plan.
Timing. Whether you are entering government service or corporate America, you must understand that the hiring process is lengthy. The time from initial application, interview, and hire can take three to six months or longer. So what does this mean? It means you have to apply backwards planning to your transition plan.
For example, let’s say your discharge or retirement date is 1 August, with terminal leave starting 31 June. Let’s say you want to take a couple of weeks to rest and relax after transition, and you want to start work on or about 15 July. This should tell you to start applying for jobs as early as January. Waiting until June is way too late.
So how does poor timing lead to underemployment? First, as your transition date gets closer, you might be pressured to take the first thing that comes along regardless of pay and benefits. After all, it’s a job. You might also be willing to accept a job well below your pay grade until something better comes along. Not much of a plan, is it?
Education. It’s no surprise, more education is directly related to a larger annual income. Furthermore, a person with a high school diploma is far more likely to be laid off than a person with a bachelors degree, and far more likely to have longer gaps of unemployment.
Whether you stayed in the military for four years or 20 years, there is no excuse for not completing a degree. With the GI Bill, tuition assistance, and loan repayment, the military is basically giving away a free education. If you choose not to take advantage of those programs, you will be facing underemployment. It’s great that you were a Platoon Sergeant who led men into combat, but if the job you want requires a degree and you don’t have one, then what?
Some companies will take military service over a degree, but don’t count on it. Don’t give a company a reason not to hire you. Make an educational plan early in your military career and execute.
Resume. Veterans accomplish a great number of things while in uniform, but many do a poor job of capturing it on a resume. A civilian recruiter or hiring manager may not know what a squad leader is, so why would you list it on a resume? “Squadron Commander” may be a key phrase for you, but the person, or computer, screening your resume has no clue what that is.
Resumes must be tailored for the job you are applying to and free of military jargon. It needs to be free from spelling and grammatical errors. It needs to be “civilianized” for corporate America and in a completely different format when applying for federal government jobs.
Professional On-line Profile. Most people have social media pages. No matter how private you “think” your social media page is remember this… it’s not! Potential employers regularly review social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and others. This is common practice and NOT a practice just reserved for potential employees who will need background checks.
It’s great that your LinkedIn profile picture is of you in your dress uniform, but could that cause a barrier between the hiring manager that knows nothing about military service, or a corporate recruiter intimidated by all the medals and badges? I like the Facebook profile picture of you having a hefeweizen in Heidelberg, but what would a potential employer think? The picture of you and your team in full body armor with your M4 slung across your chest in front of a LAV-25 is sweet, but could it scare a hiring manager?
As you prepare to transition and start the job application process, think about your online profile. Think about it through the eyes of a recruiter. Think about it through the eyes of a hiring manager. If you need to clean it up, clean it up!
Mind Set. It’s outstanding that you’re a retired Master Gunnery Sergeant. I am proud of you for retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel or Navy Commander. Thank you for your service. I hate to break it to you though, your rank does not matter to anyone outside the military.
Just because you were a Brigade Command Sergeant Major does not entitle you automatically to a six figure corporate salary. If you are lucky enough to land that job, congratulations. For everyone else, you are starting over and need to understand that.
I am not saying you should apply for entry level positions and be underemployed, I am merely stating you must have realistic expectations of the job market and realistic expectations of the level of jobs you should be applying to. Otherwise, you are setting yourself up for frustration and might find yourself in a position where you have to take the first thing that comes along.
Lets imagine for a moment that you are one of those who did not serve in the military. After 10 or 20 years of doing one kind of job you decide to change to a new career field. Virtually the same thing would apply to that civilian, they would have to have realistic expectations. If you were a senior software developer and then decided to get into automotive design you are not likely to head an automotive design team right off the bat.
The key take away here is whether you spent four years or twenty four years in the service, you must have a plan to “rebrand” yourself. Although you are a Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine for life, one day you will be a civilian. It’s never too late to plan for life after the military. | 2019-04-20T18:26:38Z | https://forwardmarchnews.com/tag/acap/ |

With the increasing number of gum and teeth related problems it has become vital that we take good care of our oral hygiene. It has been stated by scientists that the number of bacteria residing in our mouth is way more than the number of humans on this planet. Even though not all bacteria are bad for our health, there are few which can cause some serious health related issues.
It is mandatory that you educate yourself and your fellow beings about the benefits of oral hygiene and why it is vital to take care of your mouth. Maintaining proper oral health leads to healthy gums and teeth. It also prevents diseases related to gum, mouth ulcers, decays caused in the tooth and plaque. Brushing alone doesn’t suffice to keep the mouth healthy and disease free. Using a mouthwash and flossing are important as well. These act like second layers of protection for the gums and teeth.
Even though commercial mouthwashes are readily available in the market, they can’t be taken into account as a good option for our mouth. These mouthwashes contain a great deal of chemicals, which can lead to mouth ulcers or affect your teeth. These days there has been a significant shift towards homemade or naturally prepared mouthwashes. Preparing your very own mouthwash hardly takes time and is quite simple, not to forget the ingredients are readily available and quite cheap.
Turmeric is rich in anti-microbial, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. Hence it is the most sort after ingredient for naturally prepared mouthwashes. It also helps to fight bacteria and removes plaque from the teeth. Using turmeric based mouthwash also helps to whiten the teeth and helps to prevent plaque from accumulating on the teeth. It can also prevent gingivitis and acts as a natural mouth freshener.
Turmeric is regarded as the best anti-bacterial ingredient. It is highly rich in anti-fungal properties as well. Turmeric and clove when combined together can help to whiten teeth, prevent bad breath and cures mouth ulcers and gingivitis. Cloves too is rich in anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties which keeps the gums and tissues healthy and prevents bacteria which are responsible for bad breath and other mouth related problems. Clove is also known to be used for providing a soothing feeling to a toothache.
Add a cup of water to a saucepan.
Boil it for a sometime .Add turmeric powder and cloves to the above boiling water.
Let the water cool down to normal room temperature.
After the cloves have infused in the water strain the mixture and pour it in a container.
Add the essential oil to it.
Shake the mixture well and use it as a mouthwash.
Swiss the mouthwash inside your mouth for a duration of minimum 1 minute.
Refrigerate this mouthwash for future use.
Most of us don’t know but Turmeric is a member of the ginger family. Turmeric is a good antioxidising agent because of the presence of Curcuminoids in it. Because of curcuminoids present in the turmeric it has a yellow colour. Turmeric is also rich in therapeutic properties.
Because of the presence of anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties turmeric helps to fight mouth related problems and leads to healthy teeth and gums.
Tea tree is also known as Melaleuca oil. It is a potential antiseptic and anti-bacterial oil. It is widely being used for health and beauty products. Tea tree when combined with turmeric enhances the anti-bacterial properties thus helping to keep your mouth healthy. It helps to reduce the bad bacteria in your mouth and prevents diseases. Tea tree has the added benefits of cleansing the mouth and helps in the eradication of bacteria.
We have all had a peppermint candy when we were young to enjoy that soothing and cooling feeling down our throats on that hot summer day. This mouthwash uses peppermint to improve the quality and freshness of your breath and provides a cooling and soothing effect down your throat.
Boil it over shimmering flames for about 5 minutes.
Add cloves and turmeric powder to the above boiling water.
Turn off the burner and let the mixture cool down to normal room temperature.
Allow the cloves to infuse in the water for a duration of about 10 minutes.
Take a cheesecloth and use it to strain the above mixture.
To the above strained mixture, add about 2 -3 drops of essential oil to it.

Fraud continues to be the number one reason why a cardholder moves a card from top of wallet. And fraud isn’t cheap, costing the issuer in liability for the fraudulent charges plus the cost of reissue. Additionally, there is the potential of lost revenue from the card being moved from the number one position in the cardholder’s wallet.
A previous thought leadership article on ThePaymentsReview.com introduced the concept of putting the cardholder in the middle of the transaction, meaning enlist the cardholder to take ownership of monitoring card purchases and respond quickly to potential fraud.
A shining example of success implementing this strategy took place over the 4th of July weekend. FIS, CSCU’s processing partner and international provider of financial services technology and outsourcing services, rolled out a new product, SecurLOCK™ Communicate. The product alerts credit and debit cardholders of potential fraud in real time via a two-way interactive text message (SMS), or a voice call, or an email. | 2019-04-26T16:30:40Z | http://www.thepaymentsreview.com/category/fraud/pager/9578/page/7 |
Researchers at Tufts University in Massachusetts have grown a 3D human tissue model that mimics “structural and functional features of the brain” and demonstrates “neural activity”.
That sounds a lot like scientists have figured out how to grow a human brain.
They’ve come close in the past. Brain tissue cells have been grown and cultured in two-dimensional models, but they don’t have the complexity of a natural neural network.
And 3D models that have successfully been grown have, until now, been missing a key ingredient — neurons sourced from living humans.
It’s difficult to convince someone living to part with their brain tissue. But a bit of skin, not so much.
And with advances in stem cell technology, we just took a step down the road toward building a fresh brain out of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) that can be taken from many sources, including skin.
iPSCs are created by turning back the clock on cell development to their embryonic-like precursors. They can then be dialled forward again to any cell type — and that includes neurons.
Once you’ve got your neurons, they can be trained to grow on scaffolds made of silk protein and collagen.
Which is exactly, for the first time, what came out of a collaborative effort between engineering and the medical science researchers from Tufts University School of Engineering, Tufts University School of Medicine, the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at Tufts, and the Jackson Laboratory.
While others have used iPSCs to create “brain-like organoids”, the Tufts’ brain has a porous structure, which gives neurons crucial oxygenation and nutrients so they can “function in a native state”.
And a “window” in the centre of each 3D matrix allows researchers to visualise the growth, organisation and behaviour of individual cells.
You can let your imagination run wild with thoughts of rogue nations and zombie armies, but scientists are much nobler.
“The growth of neural networks is sustained and very consistent in the 3D tissue models, whether we use cells from healthy individuals or cells from patients with Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease,” said William Cantley, from the Sackler School of Graduate Biomedical Sciences at Tufts and first author of the study.
Because they can use cells from patients with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other conditions, this breakthrough means they can now study how such diseases start, progress, and respond to treatment.
The team is already thinking about how to make their model more complex, and study the kind of interactions that are involved in signaling, learning and plasticity, and degeneration.
The full report was published today in ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, a journal of the American Chemical Society. | 2019-04-20T16:40:41Z | https://www.businessinsider.com.au/it-sounds-a-lot-like-scientists-have-figured-out-how-to-grow-human-brains-2018-10 |
GM's financial quagmire and bizarre labor and bureaucratic practices notwithstanding, branding (or lack thereof) was a big part of their problem.
However many MPGs your car gets, or what quality ratings it receives, cars, like most products and services (perhaps even more so), have a large emotional component that isn't an optional extra.
Your brand either stands for something in the mind of the car buyer or they walk away from your brand and drive another home.
We're not just jumping on a fallen giant. We've been saying this for years. And as loyalty metrics are leading-indicators of consumer behavior and profitability we weren't surprised to see GM steadily lose market share, from 54% to 19%.
GM lost touch with car buyers, but that shouldn't have been surprising to folks either. They had too many brands, many of which had neither emotional resonance nor meaning. Everyone knew them (so much for awareness ratings), but nobody knew them for anything other than "cars."
Experts have pointed out that GM practiced "launch and leave" branding, i.e., companies spend billions upfront to introduce a vehicle, but then fail to support the brand with sustained, meaningful advertising.
And to complete the self-fulfilling marketing loop, with a shrinking market share GM couldn't possibly give its multiple brands and models the individual attention they so desperately needed.
That explanation's fine as far as it goes. If you really pay attention to what GM did you'll find that they weren't really very good at branding or marketing. Not when they had to actually compete.
From a brand perspective, kind of creepy, huh? Now GM's brand lineup is being halved, with the company jettisoning divisions like Pontiac, but from a brand perspective the bottom line will not improve if they can't figure out how to imbue the metal with some emotion.
The Brand Keys bottom line: Real loyalty metrics - being leading- indicators and all - might have helped them. They still could when they get around to "reorganizing" the GM brands and decide to stop talking to themselves and start looking at the category through a consumer windshield.
GM's bottom line? The stock fell steadily from about $70 at the start of the decade. It closed at 75 cents a share on Friday. | 2019-04-22T05:02:28Z | http://www.utalkmarketing.com/Pages/Article.aspx?ArticleID=14196&Title=How_to_brand_cars |
New hands-on classes will teach core and advanced programming skills to cobot users regardless of their robotics experience or backgrounds, using certified trainers hosted by Universal Robots and its global channel partners. Classes are meant to broaden users’ understanding of Universal Robots’ cobots and their endless range of use cases, while providing opportunities for hands-on practice in real-life applications.
Three U.S.-based authorized training centres (ATC) are now opening at Universal Robots’ offices in Ann Arbor, Mich., Long Island, N.Y., and Irvine, Calif. Ten additional ATCs spread across Europe and Asia have already started welcoming students. The company expects to have 50 fully authorized centres around the world up and running by the end of 2019, with approximately 15 of those in North America.
So far, 500+ customers have successfully completed the training at the new centres. Some centres are run by UR while others are operated by its partners. The share of partner-operated entities is expected to grow rapidly in the coming months.
As part of the new program, Universal Robots Certified Trainers will conduct training modules that cover a range of core and advanced cobot programming skills, including cobot scripting, industrial communication and interface usage. Small class sizes with student-centered objectives and hands-on practice with UR cobots ensure that participants come away with valuable skills they can apply immediately in their workplace.
The modules of the ATC program include core classes for basic applications and advanced courses for scripting, force control and industrial communication.
In addition to the current three centres in the U.S., ATCs are located in Germany, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, China, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Mexico. | 2019-04-18T13:03:02Z | https://www.automationmag.com/education/training/9241-universal-robots-launches-hands-on-training-centres-for-cobot-programming |

Every time I read an article or book about UML “Use Cases” I cringe a little bit. Every author says something like “Jacobson left the definition of a Use Case too open,” and then they try to work through some elaborate scheme of what a Use Case means to them. IMHO, the best use case definition was created in the early 1980s, long before Jacobson mentioned the term.
I recently started to model an application that makes extensive use of web service calls, and my customer asked me to include a UML sequence diagram to show the flow of calls in the system. This prompted me to wonder, "What is the correct way to show distributed systems (like a web service) in a UML sequence diagram?"
If this link is correct, in a UML diagram you show remote systems as actors.
Question: Is there a UML diagram to visually show the processes in a system?
Yes, you can use use case diagrams to represent the use cases (processes) in a software system. Use case diagrams show the actors in a system, and the ways in which these actors use the system.
This is why I use the terms "use cases" and "processes" interchangeably. IMHO, "use case" is a fancy way of saying "process", or perhaps more accurately, user-initiated processes, or event-driven processes.
I want to visualize the activity in a use case ... what UML diagram can I use to do this?
Question: I want to visualize the activity in a use case ... what UML diagram can I use to do this?
Use an activity diagram. These UML diagrams are good for visual workflow modeling. Swimlanes in UML activity diagrams can also show the behavior of different actors within a workflow process.
I ran into the perfect situation this week that defines why you should not put UI assumptions in Use Case (or task) documentation. A customer decided that they really wanted to change a UI from the proposed tabular approach (with potential popup windows) to a tree view. If the use case mentions things like "double-click", "press OK", and UI phrases of that nature, the use cases would need to be re-written. Without those UI assumptions they should be fine.

Musically, Karen picked the perfect instrument for this tune, the ukulele. I always feel like this little four stringed strummy instrument has an inherent comedy to it. This does not mean I don’t love the instrument folks, but I just put the sound up next to my upright bass, and I laugh a lot inside.
Karen decided to strum every quarter note, giving it that jazz feel to go along with the classic chord progression. This idea gives the song a sense of credibility that Karen is trying to play off of. Great idea!
Her voice is the final instrument in this awesome song. She decided to balance on the edge of classy and hilarious. Perfect for the tune of course, as I’m sure you have heard by now.
Karen told me that she just couldn’t believe that whoever wrote this advert didn’t think that the animal costume was important. There was just so much to choose from out there in the big bad world and she thought they might be a little crazy. So the ideas started to flow.
She decided to start by seeing if she could get inside their brain.
“Lot’s to consider and I’m bettin’, to allow for heavy pettin.
And then she wondered where this encounter might happen.
This is just a small taste of what Karen wrote. It’s hard for me to show all of the ridiculous beauty Karen has come up with for this tune. Please take a listen and enjoy!

Each year, thousands of families spend hundreds of dollars preparing their child(ren) to go to school. These one-time expenses often include items like school supplies, new outfits, shoes and hair cuts. For our families in need, these expenses just aren’t possible. Compounding the issue is that studies have found a child without supplies or new clothing will have a harder time excelling in school. Addressing this issue is often as simple as buying a new pair of shoes or having a new notebook.
IFCS works to provide our neighbors children in need with everything to make them successful. We ask our donors to think beyond buying pencils and paper to include clothing and haircuts. As studies have pointed out, even if a child has all of their required school supplies, an item like a pair of shoes can hold them back. The Ready, Set, School! program aims to address all of these needs with a backpack full of supplies, clothing and money for haircuts.
Help IFCS Support the Program Financially – Delivering this program uses financial resources, help us to continue to provide for this huge need by donating today by clicking here.
Sponsor a Child – We will work to match you up with a child and provide a list of school items needed, clothing sizes and what other needs the child may have.
Collect Schools Supplies and a New Backpack – These supplies are collected and distributed to children that did not register for our program. Download a 2015 School Supply Wish List Here for all ages. Here are PDFs for Middle School students and for High School students.
Volunteer TODAY! – Assist with registration, complete quality checks and monitor backpack pick-up. Select from weekday morning and afternoon shifts from mid-May through the end of June. Get started today by contacting IFCS Volunteer Coordinator Jean Ray, jeanr@ifcs.org or 303-789-0501.
Whether you want to support the program financially, sponsor a child/ren, drop off school supplies or volunteer, your efforts will go a long way to help a child’s education. | 2019-04-22T14:15:30Z | https://www.ifcs.org/news/2015-ready-set-school-program-needs-your-support/ |
We recently reported on our Facebook page that over 100,000 trips had been made along the Cycle Superhighway since its opening in June 2016.
This claim raised a few eyebrows amongst our followers on social media so we thought we’d share with you just how this figure was calculated, and we’ll be providing a regular update around usage figures so you can track progress.
The easiest way of counting the number of trips is through ‘Automatic Cycle Counters’, or ACCs for short. We have placed seven of these along the route between Bradford and Leeds. Five of these have been in operation for some time, the sixth and seventh, situated on Leeds Old Road, have just begun collecting data. The location of the ACCs is highlighted on the map below.
When a bike passes over one of our ACCs, a trip is logged. We can track this information, pinpointing times, dates and locations of trips made. The number of trips logged at each location is detailed in the table below.
It is not yet known how many of these trips are displaced from other modes of transport or other routes, but it is our intention to conduct intercept user surveys to help us collect this information.
Following this article, we’ll look at providing you with a regular quarterly brief with updated figures. | 2019-04-18T17:08:35Z | https://cyclecityconnect.co.uk/projectupdate/cycle-superhighway-100000-trips-and-counting/ |
? Some in the Hispanic community ? which voted heavily for the president ? feel that he has abandoned his promise to bring about immigration reform.
• Some in the Hispanic community — which voted heavily for the president — feel that he has abandoned his promise to bring about immigration reform.
The critics questioned Obama's recent comment that he could not use his executive order powers to suspend deportations because doing so "would not conform with my appropriate role as president." Obama made the comment at a town hall organized by Univision TV network.
Eva Millona, executive director of Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Coalition, cited Obama's campaign promise made on July 13, 2008 at a National Council of La Raza conference.
"When communities are terrorized by ICE immigration raids, when nursing mothers are torn from their babies, when children come home from school to find their parents missing, when people are detained without access to legal counsel, when all that is happening, the system just isn't working and we need to change it," Obama said in the speech at the 2008 NCLR conference which is captured in video on the YouTube page of his campaign arm, Organizing for America.
The administration argues that it has focused on arresting, detaining and deporting immigrants who are serious criminal and can't ignore people who are in the country illegally when Immigration and Customs Enforcement encounters them.
"At end of day we feel the answer to this problem is a legislative answer, and we are working every day to reach the day when the president can sign an immigration reform that can fix this problem," Munoz said.
The issue of children who are U.S. citizens being separated from parents has come into sharper focus in recent weeks after a young New York girl was forced to leave the country with her grandfather.
They had been in Guatemala and were returning when the grandfather was detained at an airport and denied entry to the United States because of a decades-old violation on his record. Her parents were waiting for the 4-year-old in New York, but she was made to leave rather than be united with her parents. She recently was reunited with her parents.
Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., said the president "is only looking at one aspect of the law" by choosing not to suspend deportations by directing his administration to find ways to postpone them.
"We are asking for balance and for consideration of immigrants with deep, long-term equities in this country and for temporary relief until we are able to get legislation passed and implemented," Gutierrez said. | 2019-04-24T20:26:21Z | https://www.monroenews.com/news/2011/Mar/31/families-urge-obama-to-end-deportations |
Corfu’s comparatively large size means it contains plenty of secret hideaways, not to mention glorious mountain views and uncrowded coves. The best way to find them? Hiring a car and having the freedom of your own wheels!
For the least hassle, pick up your car hire directly at Corfu International Airport (CFU). Well-known operators include Avis, Europcar, Hertz and Sixt, and these are supported by various local operations. All car rental desks are located in the arrivals hall.
The streets opposite Corfu Town’s ferry port are also full of car hire offices, while some resorts have rental desks for travellers who prefer to rest first and drive later.
The streets opposite Corfu Town’s ferry port also throb with car hire offices, while some resorts have rental desks for travellers who prefer to slumber first and drive later – and thereby save a few euros.
Some of Corfu’s shores are unexpectedly quiet – most commonly along the north-western or south-western shorelines, where either the cliffs are sheerer or hotels fewer. Gaining access is challenging without a car, and thus those renting a vehicle have a distinct advantage.
The northern coast is arguably Corfu’s most heavenly spot, speckled with cutesy harbour villages like Kouloura. Travel further west to find glorious sunset perches and picturesque sea cliffs at Paleokastritsa. Visit at the optimum time – late afternoon – for photographs of both. Watching the dying of the light beside the castle at Angelokastro takes some beating.
Hiring a car allows easy access to Greece’s National Gallery Annexe in the village of Kato Korakiana, close to Corfu Town. This Venetian-era villa hosts works by distinguished Greek artists while its parent collection in Athens is shut until at least 2019 for reconstruction.
Corfu’s mountains are littered with switchbacking roads: wonderful driving routes where the only problem is ignoring every photo opportunity. Atop the 906-metre (2,973 feet) summit of Mount Pantokrator, the island’s highest point, fabulous views are accompanied by a diminutive, stone-built monastery – and lots of radio masts.
In the south you’ll find glorious countryside: it’s worth driving here with no real plan and simply pootling around between orange groves and salt pans. Every so often you’ll come across a small, snoozy town, and generally a classic taverna. This, most certainly, is the life.
One of the interior’s chief attractions is the Aqualand Water Park in Agios Ioannis, west from Corfu Town – it’s a cinch to reach if you have a rental car.
Taking 90 minutes, passenger hydrofoils to Paxos depart from Corfu Town and Lefkimmi – hiring a car allows you to be on board for an early departure, and have ample time to explore the next Ionian Island down.
Looking to visit Corfu? Make sure to check out our Tips and Advice first.
1. Most secondary roads are very narrow and perennially rutted, while access tracks down to beaches can be steep. As such, choose your rental car carefully: a powerful but reasonably slim 4WD is best if you plan to really be intrepid.
2. Mountain roads can easily become foggy – check weather conditions before setting off.
3. There are limited 24-hour petrol stations on the island, so always refill the tank before going on a late-night trip. | 2019-04-24T17:14:11Z | https://www.travelsupermarket.com/en-gb/car-hire/greece/corfu/ |

Trump’s statement this week in defense of an America First foreign policy has united what otherwise appears to be a divided foreign policy establishment.
While Washington demands Mr. Trump punish Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, or MBS, for the murder of Saudi national Jamal Khashoggi, Mr. Trump defended his decision to prioritize an alliance with an oil-rich country that generates American jobs while serving as a pro-U.S. anchor in a region full of dangerous adversaries, from Iran to ISIS.
Thus, according to Republicans and Democrats alike, Mr. Trump has betrayed American values….
However, there is nothing wrong with putting America First.
But what are the values of America First? Obama officials Ben Rhodes and Jake Sullivan offer a tidy delineation: "picking fights with allies, shredding international agreements, devaluing human rights, cozying up to President Vladimir Putin of Russia and outsourcing much of our Middle East policy to Saudi Arabia."
Tonight Mr. Trump will further define American values as he rallies for another Smith — Mississippi senatorial candidate Cindy Hyde-Smith — who finds humor in perhaps being invited to a "public hanging," presumably of the state's black senatorial candidate.
America First is a package deal, which runs from picking fights with allies to devaluing human rights everywhere, including at home. | 2019-04-24T19:45:57Z | https://www.pmcarpenter.com/2018/11/the-gestalt-of-america-first.html |

I hate the fact, that despite of freedom to do anything, when we are blocked to access websites like Facebook, Orkut in College, offices. Most of the time, network admin will implement hardware or script based blocking to these sites and we have to hunt down proxy sites to access these blocked site. Though, I never liked the idea of proxy site, as they are the first one to get blocked and getting a list of Working proxy site is tough. Most of these hardware firewall, detect and find these sites and block them in no time. I always suggest and prefer to use software based unblocking and there are many free options like Ultrasurf, Your-Freedom and Freegate, which you can consider using. Or if you are looking for paid but reliable options, you should consider buying VPN software’s.
Alright, let me get into little bit of technicality here and give you an overview of proxy site and how do a proxy site work. When we surf internet from our house, we are directly connected to internet. All the website we access or open, our record (I.P) is logged. By using proxy site, we are using third party servers for surfing and we stay anonymous.
We can use I.P based proxy or simply open free proxy sites like Hidemyass, Proxify to access website and stay anonymous. Though, I will never suggest you to use any of free proxy site to access your sensitive data like Emails, Facebook and so on. Since, we can’t ensure the safety of our data when accessing anything using these proxy websites.
No doubt that proxy softwares are the best way to access blocked website but again if you surfing from a public computer and quickly need to surf by hiding your I.P. you can take advantage of these proxy websites which will unblock almost all the sites. Though there is a problem with these sites, as many firewall software can easily detect Proxy sites and put a filter on them.
There are many such proxy Website and every day a new sites comes in. Here is my list of those websites, which have been there for ages and work most of the time. You can pick the one, which suits your requirement. Though, most of the time you will see an advertisement at the top but I believe that is ok as the cost of anonymous surfing.
Do let us know if you are aware of more proxy websites which are not easily detected by firewall software and are working. Check out related posts for more options to unblock sites.

Hitchin Hackspace is a non-profit community group in Hitchin, which is part of the UK's growing "maker movement". They welcome anyone, from any background, with an interest in creating and collaborating on projects from sewing to soldering, computers to crafting; sharing ideas, knowledge and resources.
The group recently took on the lease of a derelict public toilet from their local authority - with the aim to rip-out and renovate the space into a community workshop as the next phase of their growth.
Given that waste removal and disposal can often be a very expensive and time-consuming activity for community groups like themselves, Hitchin Hackspace reached out to HIPPO for a helping hand via our Grants up for Grabs scheme where they were successfully allocated a free HIPPOSKIP and collection to help with their project.
HIPPOSKIPs are intended for the disposal of large amounts of light and bulky waste – so it was perfect for the job. The waste generated from the renovations consisted of the fixtures and fittings of a large public toilet including plumbing, cisterns, doors and frames, sinks and sink units, water tanks, wood, old shelving, electrical items, and a small amount of rubble, bricks and tiles.
“The HIPPOBAG allowed us to easily remove all of the waste from the site, clearing space for us to continue with the planning and building work to create the workshop.
On behalf of all of us at Hitchin Hackspace, thanks again for the HIPPOSKIP and collection, it made a huge difference to the space available to work in.” – Brian Widdas, Hitchin Hackspace. | 2019-04-18T10:33:00Z | https://www.hippowaste.co.uk/blog/gu4g-hitchin-hackspace/ |

Date Signed. This alliance was signed on April 13, 2006.
The purpose of the alliance was to use the collective education and experience of the OSHA – WOTA team to collaborate on workplace safety and health issues and to develop products that were useful to the Alliance members’ mutual clients, employers and employees in Wisconsin.
Meetings were held at the Madison OSHA Office on these dates to discuss the alliance. Some WOTA members participated by conference call.
The first activity was the development of a brochure about occupational therapists that OSHA could distribute during the Madison OSHA Office’s outreach activities. The brochure was completed.
WOTA presenters took advantage of the OSHA Alliance with the Wisconsin Council on Safety to nominate OTs to present at WCS conferences. One OT presented at the 2006 Ergonomics conference and another presented at the WCS Congress and Exposition, 2007. Both were presentations on musculoskeletal disorders in the workplace.
The Madison CAS gave a three hour presentation on the development of business cases to OTs at their annual Wisconsin convention on November 11, 2006.
C. The Alliance has not had the desired impact. The OTs who practices in the industrial environment has full time jobs and it is optional for them to participate in the Alliance. Their employers do not strongly support their participation to the extent that they have time to meet to develop or work on projects. It was also soon evident that the OTs are safety and health professionals and not in need of safety and health education from OSHA. | 2019-04-25T21:58:56Z | https://www.osha.gov/dcsp/alliances/regional/reg5/wota_annual_report_2006-2007.html |

I cannot let the retirement announcement by John Madden yesterday pass without mention.
This blog has a category for “noted communicators” for a reason, and Madden is in that category. For those that may not consider the name a household word (and many would) John Madden has been the face of pro football in broadcasting for some thirty -wait numbers matter in sports, let’s make that “30” years, maybe even put it on a jersey.
Even non-sports fans recognize the guy from his shall we say dabbling in commercial endorsements such as for Ace Hardware – for those who can’t understand why Madden is a perfect spokesman for Ace, I’ll explain: for the same reason he was a perfect game analyst with all four networks, CBS(1979-94), Fox (1994-2002), ABC (2002-05), NBC (2005-09); he was as they say in sports “a natural”, down to earth everyman who just happened to know how to communicate about the game in such a way that it made sense, or in some cases nonsense. He did indeed have a unique way with words, and his enthusiasm for his sport was apparent and infectious. He knew the game started in the mud and dirt and that’s what he caught, the essence of it all.
Sports broadcasting will not be the same without him. | 2019-04-23T04:21:20Z | https://communicatorsandcommunications.com/2009/04/17/john-madden-quits-the-game/ |

Digitisation is changing the paradigms in marketing across sectors. This global phenomenon is introducing new practices in marketing communications and renewing the significance of online media for B2B and B2C businesses.
How marketers can adapt to a rapidly evolving arm of marketing in the world of business and what are the challenges and opportunities in the next decade were some key topics discussed at International Research Conference organized by S.P. Mandali's Prin. L. N. Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research (WeSchool) And Academy of Indian Marketing. The symposium under the theme "Marketing in the Next Decade", revisited the fundamental pillars of marketing in the backdrop of technological advancements.
The event was consequent to the three day 6th AIM - AMA Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium that invited doctorial students to share their research about ‘’Marketing in a Connected World." Noted academicians from international universities participated in both events. The conference saw marketing leaders discussing the influence of digital technologies in marketing and also the academic scholarly work on this subject.
The inaugural of the conference was attended by the leadership team from WeSchool and AIM (Academy of Indian Marketing) at WeSchool, Bengaluru Campus. The Chief Guest, Sharad Sharma, Founder, iSPIRIT emphasized on the power of data empowering lives through data democracy and bringing in economic prosperity. He showcased the progress of technology by citing the fact that more people have mobiles phones than wrist watches. He also highlighted that advertising was shrinking in a significant way and that video content would continue to be a non-advertising supported model in the foreseeable future.
Prof. Dr. Jagdish Sheth, Charles H. Kellstadt Professor of Marketing at Emory University said, “Technology enables innovation hence, it is bound to have a profound impact on marketing. In this digital age one cannot maximize profits but organizations need to focus their energies on scaling up and minimizing the cost.” He rightly pointed out eye opening facts on consumer behavior by stating that demographics were changing globally with more individuals staying alone on an average for ten years. As a result, influencing the consumption pattern. More individuals are attached to unanimated objects and the virtual world of internet. The world is moving in a direction where people are experiencing stress due to paucity of time than scarcity of money. Basic chores of cooking and baking have become hobbies. Dual income is no more a choice but necessity.
The Chief Marketing Officer roundtable with Ragavendra Prabhakar, Strategy Lead on Digital Marketing, BOSCH; Vikrant Bhargava, Digital Practice Leader, IBM; Vivekanand Venugopal, MD, Hitachi Vantara; Indroneel Das, Principal Technology Architect, Flipkart was moderated by Marketing Guru, Prof. Jagdish Sheth, Charles H. Kellstadt Professor of Marketing at Emory University. The discussion underlined how consumerism was driving companies to become digital. The panelists agreed that consumer engagement as key to influencing the dynamic profile of a consumer.
The following session on “Marketing Research in Digital Age’’ saw N. S. Muthu Kumaran, Executive Director, Hansa Research; Ashutosh Pujari, Founder, Chief Epic Maker and Lokesh Sewak, Head of Digital Marketing and Analytics, Loccitane. The session moderated by Prof. Dr. D. N. Murthy, Dean Marketing & Research, WeSchool asserted the significance of data as the new currency and business analytics.
On a concluding note, Dr. Uday Salunkhe, Group Director, WeSchool expressed the need to nurture talent in a super VUCA world. He mentioned how placements in 2025 will be cloud based and open to a wider group of individuals. He stressed on the need to develop skill sets that are changing with changing time.
The valedictory session saw Chief Guest, Beena Patil, Vice President - Human Resources, Indegene Lifesystems, describing the event with an outcome that is practically viable. The event concluded on a positive note with closing remarks from WeSchool and AIM leadership. | 2019-04-25T11:45:01Z | http://blogspot.siliconvillage.net/2018/01/data-democracy-online-consumer.html |
Spirituality is defined as the quality of relating to religious values, sacred matters, or to supernatural phenomena and beings. If you asked ten different people what spirituality means to them, you are likely to get ten varied responses, based on their own values and beliefs, their upbringing, or daily and cultural influences. The fact is, we are all spiritual beings and our own spirituality is as individual as we are. Those who consider themselves truly spiritual will usually tell you it involves a connection of their own soul with something larger than themselves...to all others, to the Universe, and/or to their Creator.
Following a religion may be a part of many individual's spiritual experience, but it is not mandatory. Spirituality is something that grows and emanates from within. One may find that a religion will nurture their spirituality, sometimes it may even spark it, but religion does not create spirituality. It is as much a trait as kindness or generosity.
What it comes down it is this: whether Buddhist, Christian, Islamic, or Wiccan, our religious beliefs are simply that - our own. While on the other hand, our spirituality, despite how personal it is, is something that might be shared gracefully. No matter how you define it personally, or how you choose to nurture or develop it, it is encompassed by goodness and love.
A spiritual path is truly an enlightening one. May you be blessed with love and light on yours.

Tomorrow, my baby, the youngest of my five children will turn twenty-one years old. As I reflect on this, the overwhelming question running through my mind is “How did this happen?”. The years seems to fly by much too quickly for my liking.
I feel as if twenty-one years ago, the doctor placed a beautiful baby girl in my arms and then promptly hit the fast forward button. So now, on the eve of her twenty-first birthday, I am desperately trying to find that remote. I am wanting to hit rewind, pause or at the very least, turn off the fast forward.
Unfortunately, this remote does not exist. The only rewind feature exists in my memories, the only pause button in my photographs. I can, however, turn off the fast forward feature from time to time by making a greater effort to live in and enjoy the moment.
It seems like everyone and everything in the world today is moving too fast. Sometimes, it is difficult to slow down enough to enjoy it. If we don’t make the effort to live in and enjoy the moment, the moments will pass us by with little or no memories attached to them.
I thought about this as I enjoyed the beautiful sunrises this week on my way to work. I marveled at how quickly they were over. One minute the sky was beautiful and breathtaking, filled with hues of orange, purple and pink. The next minute the sun was bright white and the colors were gone. I thought how quickly that moment passed and how easy it would be to have missed it. I wondered how many of my fellow commuters even noticed it’s beauty.
So, as I rewind through the memories of the last twenty-one years and pause to enjoy the photographs, I am going to make a greater effort to try to turn off the fast forward and live in the moment. I am going to try to slow down and make new memories to cherish in the years to come.

While “life” demands our attention.. it is often hard to “pause” and enjoy the moments for too long..
A true sense of what really matters in life will be your greatest “asset” against the “adversary” known as time..
While we all DO have time to “stop the clock” on life for a few time-outs from time-to-time.. we need to learn WHEN to call those time-outs to best suit the meaning of life..
Is it better to pause to see the beauty of life during the sunrise/sunset? or during the hustle of rush hour traffic?.. while the pause during traffic may seem like the opportune time.. nerves may seem highest and life the most tense…. the “better view” in my opinion is the moment that is rarest..
Case in point.. The day of my wedding.. while remembering EVERY second of the event is almost impossible with all that happened.. there were a select few points that stood out to me.. I made them moments I made sure to “pause” life because they were moments that I saw as “rare”.. while many may have seen the ceremony and the moment was a once in a lifetime ordeal.. it’s remembered by all who were there.. whereas, the crossing of the threshold with her in my arms, the drive to the reception hall, or the final goodbye the night before.. all moments known only to 2 people.. these are the quiet, personal moments, that I feel will make the most of life.. | 2019-04-25T06:16:14Z | https://sincerelysandra.net/2013/03/10/for-anna/ |
Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires, Road America, Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, USA, 25th June 2016 Dean Stoneman reinforced his championship ambitions with an impressive 2nd place, in the first of two races this weekend.
Stoneman, who won the Freedom 100 last month in Indianapolis with a famous victory, made it four podiums in as many races at the long sweeping 4.7 mile Wisconsin despite having suffered a five second penalty.
Starting from 5th, Stoneman made a great start and as early as the first lap was up to 3rd. The racing was competitive and the Southampton driver had to battle hard to hold position through the steep curves of Road America, a circuit similar to the Belgium GP track Spa in so many ways. By lap three Stoneman was battling with his championship rival Ed Jones swapping position for second and the two pushed each other hard.
On lap seven Stoneman was adjudged to have blocked the car behind him and was handed a five second penalty, meaning that the 25 year old had to finish at least five seconds ahead of the fourth placed car to secure another podium and with it vital championship points. But as the race went on Stoneman rose to the challenge and opened up the gap from the third placed car lap upon lap and finished the race over six seconds ahead and so bagging 2nd place despite a series of safety cars, yellow flags and aggressive driving from his nearest championship rivals.
The result consolidates second place in the series standings and closes the gap to 22 points. | 2019-04-21T10:38:09Z | http://www.deanstoneman.co.uk/stoneman-closes-in-on-title-with-another-lights-podium/ |
Tonight, a lovely friend in North Carolina wrote of his yearning to be in Belgium, in order to watch Ann Hallenberg perform in the Vlaamse Opera production, Agrippina.
I asked him about the location, he replied Gent and then wrote so many good things about Agrippina as an opera and about Ann as one of the best mezzo sopranos in the world that ... I just had to go and try booking a seat for my very first opera.
It worked, I am booked ... and now I'm really rather looking forward to this journey into a world I have only suspected I might love.
I recommend the youtube below. It offers you a 'Backstage view of the opera production 'Agrippina', starring emperor Nero's power hungry mother.

What Happened Under Hinton's Reign?
It died down due to lackluster investigation by the London Metropolitan Police. But when it was revealed that the electronic spying was focused on crime victims and orphans, the British public had quite enough.
Now, Murdoch's highly lucrative deal to take over 60% of broadcasting giant BSkyB is threatened by this scandal. Prime Minister David Cameron's Culture Minister was expected to approve the acquisition. Quickly, that option may become a political impossibility given Cameron's personal involvement with News Corporation executives, in particular, Rebekah Brooks.
The much reviled Brooks is the former head of the News of the World, shut down just this week as a result of the scandal. Brooks and Cameron appear to be very close. They take regular horseback rides together in the woods near Brooks' country estate and Cameron attended a Christmas party at the Brooks estate, something he was criticized for in the London press.
Les Hinton was and is once again a key player in the investigation.
"As News Corporation battles to prevent the damage caused by the phone-hacking scandal spilling over into its all-important US holdings, attention is falling on Les Hinton, one of Rupert Murdoch's closest executives in New York, who was deeply involved in the handling of the affair.
Hinton faces major challenges right now. The Guardian reports that he may have misrepresented News Corporation's internal investigations to the British Parliament.
"Hinton replied by standing up for Andy Coulson, the News of the World editor who had resigned over the Goodman affair while denying any knowledge of it: "I believe absolutely that Andy did not have knowledge of what was going on." Coulson was arrested on Friday in connection with the phone-hacking investigation."
