Keyboardist-composer Vijay Iyer's energized sequence of ECM releases has garnered copious international praise. Yet his fifth for the label since 2014 - Far From Over, featuring his dynamically commanding sextet and released on CD and vinyl - finds Iyer reaching a new peak.
Furthering an artistry that led The Guardian to call Iyer "one of the world's most inventive new-generation jazz pianists" and The New Yorker to describe him as "extravagantly gifted? brilliantly eclectic.", Far From Over features this sextet of virtuoso improvisers - with horn players Graham Haynes, Steve Lehman and Mark Shim alongside rhythm partners Stephan Crump and Tyshawn Sorey - leveraging a wealth of jazz history even as it pushes boldly forward.
The music ranges from the thrillingly explosive ("Down to the Wire," "Good on the Ground") to the cathartically elegiac ("For Amiri Baraka," "Threnody"), with melodic hooks, entrancing atmosphere, rhythmic muscle and an elemental spirit all part of the allure. "This group has a lot of fire in it, but also a lot of earth, because the tones are so deep, the timbres and textures," Iyer says. "There's also air and water - the music moves."
Personnel: Vijay Iyer (piano, Fender Rhodes); Graham Haynes (cornet, flugelhorn, electronics); Steve Lehman (alto saxophone); Mark Shim (tenor saxophone); Stephan Crump (double-bass); Tyshawn Sorey (drums). | 2019-04-21T01:22:13 | https://www.propermusic.com/product-details/Vijay-Iyer-Sextet-Far-From-Over-249818 |
Something always bothered me about super hero movies and stories… What exactly happens to all the homes and business the “heroes” destroy in an effort to “save the day?” Usually quite a lot, especially if you’re a director like Christopher Nolan or Michael Bay. So it occurred to me that the stories of the cleanup and restoration of the hero damage would actually make better stories than some of the actual films. This is where the idea for “Epic Claim” first came about.
In general though I thought it would be fun to take something as mundane as a call to the insurance company and give it a supernatural twist (as most of my films/stories have). The trick was to make everything seem fairly common, but through the right music and dialogue hint at something a little more extraordinary.
So, when it came to the narrative I thought it would be fun if the character was the one telling the story. Starting with an opening scene showing clearly a man of business sets up the idea of who the character is, which is then expanded upon in the second scene. Then as most irate customers are, the tone of the conversation escalates. When it came to the script however, I didn’t write out every single nuance to the story though. I left myself with more of an outline of the events and gave myself room to improvise and let my acted anger seem more natural. However I was left with a slight problem…how do you end such a short concept story like this. What’s the twist? Having a sudden spark of inspiration I thought about a larger universe of heroes that could exist in this fictional world. Around the halfway point in the film my character talks about “not keeping up with heroes,” as if there is more than one in the world. This gave me a way to uniquely guide the tale to show that what appeared to be a normal person, was just another hero in disguise.
Unlike many of my projects though, I couldn’t quite piece together a solid title for the project. This is where I asked my brother’s girlfriend at the time (now sister-in-law) to help me with this strange word and theme association. Taking her suggestion of “Epic Claim,” I knew I had the perfect title to describe exactly what the concept of the project was about. An insurance claim of epic proportions.

HOME Forums I have a dear friend with stage four cancer and I want to help her so bad..
I have a dear friend with stage four cancer and I want to help her so bad..
I'm 37 years old. I can say I am healthy. I eat healthy and I work out in a regular basis. I don't support the pharmaceutical, i don't take over the counter meds and my kids are unvaccinated. I'm a NON GMO believer big time.
My friend was diagnosed with breast cancer. She is now suffering the stage four cancer. I convinced her to try cannabis oil and specifically recommend Rick Simpson oil but she went to Oakland instead and purchased a 18:1 CBD tincture. She believed that the tincture made her sick because the following day after taking it, she went to the emergency for urine retention and muscle weakness. We are confused what had happened to her. I told her to go to Amsterdam garden to get the Rick Simpson oil but she doesn't even want to answer my calls.
I believe that the Rick Simpson will work for her. I want to buy it so I can give it to her but how? I have no cannabis ID and I can't be a caregiver for her. I also told her that I will drive her to Amsterdam GArden but she is not responding. Anyone can help me??? here's my phone number 510 952 9426. Please I desperately want to help her.
The most helpful thing you can do for her now is to giver her space, and let her figure this out for herself. As badly as you want to do something to make it go away, you can't. For whatever reason, she's decided to withdraw. You've made it known that you're available, and that you care. That is enough. Keep her in your thoughts or your prayers. Send her a card in a couple of weeks; she'll likely be happy to get it. She'll contact you when she's ready.
You sound like you are doing the right thing, listen to your body and it will tell you what to do. Stick with Sativas, or Sativa-dominant strains. Ask patients at the dispensaries, read reviews of strains, do Internet searches and research. I actually am opposite, the Sativas make me all paranoid ad uneasy. I like a relaxing Indica or Indica-dominant hybrid strain, with a dash of sativa in the background. My strain I use every day is Blue Dream, it is a nice balance and is mild.
Herbalmeds, Ma'am, my wife also has Stage 4 cancer. Adenocarcinoma that metastasized to her liver. She has been on some viscious chemo for 18 months continuosly from MD Anderson in Houston. We r also in search of RSO. I have a friend in Denver with a med card and is willing to help. She cannot find any in the area. If u locate some please respond. I am reaching oit to old friends in DC to find someone with a card in the Virginia area. We live in South Mississippi. 1 hour from New Orleans.
why are so many posts being deleted?
My advice is for her and/or loved ones to undergo a comprehensive detox and treatment plan that includes high CBD cannabis, like the tincture bottle she started with, and yes, rick simpson oil, etc...but also a whole treatment plan like what Dr.Marc Sircus educates about. Google Dr.Sircus and see his web site. All the things he talks about are helpful.
People have to understand that when a strong healing treatment is begun, it can cause Herx Reaction, as the bacteria, or virus, and toxins are dying off, and the system can experience momentary overload, as the detox process begins, the same kind of herx reaction can happen when someone uses colloidal silver for the first time, or uses a Hulda Clark type Zapper for the first time.... or takes strong ABX for the first time...the body needs to begin slowly. It tales complete determination and dedication to heal a life threatening illness, a comprehensive treatment that includes all the things DR.Sircus talks about....Infrared sauna, Baking soda and mineral baths, Cannabis medicine, many things can heal and disolve cancer cells, various herbs, dietary changes, vitamin program, lots of rest and good sleep, sunshine, prayer and spiritual balance, support of others,many things. the will to live and to work hard at the healing process. Sometimes a person at end stage has lost the will to fight anymore. and it can be sad to watch , when you see they havent really tried everything they should . or they seem to be giving up too soon. We tried to help a friend once, but she was completely unwilling to put the effort into it. it was as if she preferred to just roll over and say goodbye. A resigned attitude like that will not heal cancer. It takes total driven determination. and a complex treatment plan like what Dr. Sircus describes.
hi, I just wanna share my experience in medical marijuana and it helps me deal with my health conditions. I've been suffering from chronic pain and even cancer for how many years, i refrain my self on taking meds coz it seems doesn't work for me. but then when I learned that medical marijuana can help and cure sickness since I read this article http://kylekushman.com/expert-advice/ it really helps me a lot to recover my condition. I can't find any conclusive evidence that speaks to its efficacy in eliminating the cancer cells themselves. any help or personal testimonials is much appreciated. Thanks.
Alternative medicine are more accepted now a days due to it's promising results unlike pharmaceutical medicine, alternative medicine don't give negative effect such as kidney and liver problems when it comes to long term use. As for my alternative medicine usage, I use medical marijuana. Different strain has a variety of uses and effect depending on your needs. Like this marijuana strain therapy https://eu.gyo.green/cbd-crew-cbd-therapy-cbd-thp-f.html. This strain has a very potent effect on chronic pains like back pain and joint pain and a lot more.
Well, It has not yet been proven that it can cure cancer 100% but it is undoubtedly helpful when it comes to pain and inflammation.it also reduces nausea, vomiting and boosts appetite. I've read an article about marijuana strains that are best for cancer and sour diesel from blimburnseeds.com/sour-diesel is one of them.
Hello, I just wanna share my experience in medical marijuana No one realizes how much cannabis oil can help a human beings health. My mother was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer 5 years ago. She was so sick she could not eat, walk ,she could barely speak because of how sick she was. My family thought about it and decided to try her on cannabis oil. That was the best thing we could have done for my mother. After 2-3 weeks we could see improvement in her speech,movement & her appetite. Mean while she was having chemotherapy and radiation to try and kill this cancer she had. Although it was working the radiation and chemo was making my mother worse.After weeks passed by my mother was back to her self, walking around & eating. She had scans done to see how her cancer was, we realized her cancer was not growing, is the oil working? Well yes the oil was definitely working. Not only helping her appetite, speech and her walking it’s was stopping the cancer from growing. My mother was given 3 months to live when we first found out. It was not only months later it was years later she was still alive. We believed this oil kept my mother alive for the 5 years afterwards. A friend recommended we buy the oil from http://legalmedicalbudshop.com/ it really helped my Mom to recover from her health health condition. I don’t understand why the government has not legalized cannabis oil. You don’t really know how much this substance works. It’s saves lives !!
Because cannabinoid therapy is relatively new in the mainstream, a current challenge for patients regarding it use is lack of regulation. This may change, however, with the possible passing of the Compassionate Acess, Research Expansion, and respect states (Carers) Act, which has the support of 37 members of congress. | 2019-04-22T08:22:34 | https://www.stickyguide.com/forums/938 |

Keren Hadar, Asaf Roth and Moshe Zorman provided the quality & elation moments in the tribute. Their performance is joyful, mischievous and departing from the original interpretation ... a virtuoso vocal performance of Hadar.."
She begins with a kind of Yemenite\Israeli Mahawal that belts her strong and clear voice and sounds very nice. The entire performance extraordinary and charming, for such performances the festival was founded ... when rhythm and groove enter Hadar opens fire. She gives a powerful vocal performance, rich and varied, a little too dramatic, but winning. She roars without endangering the public well-being and her roars sweeping."
What we will probably remember from the production of Carmen in Haifa is the birth of a new Carmen – Keren Hadar, the protagonist of the evening. A singer-actress, who moves naturally in the role, and the stage, audience and mainly the music love her. The role fits her like a glove from the moment she enters the stage to the tragic ending. She has the acting capabilities and the vocal range – from the highest to the lowest, and was born for the part."
Keren Hadar can do just about anything with her voice - rock, pop, opera - and has wowed both Daniel Barenboim and a third of the population of China with her versatility. And she doesn't even practice every day."
... The soprano and radiating stage personality of Keren Hadar. Hadar – with her brilliant voice and stage temperament – conquers the stage and the audience..."
Soprano Keren Hadar performed the work magnificently, collaborating perfectly with horn player Alon Reuven."
Standing ovation ended the season's final concert. The conservative Israeli audience stood on its feet to cheer for two Israeli composers and thank them for their extraordinary pieces.
"Night's End Anthem" by Ella Milch-Sheriff to texts by Roy "Chiki" Arad and Nathan Alterman, starts with the energetic rhythms which is so characteristic of the city of Tel-Aviv: A cheerful, vivid fanfare. The music develops with beautiful cantilena parts for choir and also with the two extraordinary singers, Keren Hadar and Einat Aronstein."
Ella Milch-Sheriff's composition "Night's End Anthem" dedicated to Tel-Aviv to texts by Roy "Chiki" Arad and Nathan Alterman is a beautiful and fascinating work which combines well the orchestra with the Children's chorus (Bat-Kol), the two excellent sopranos (Keren Hadar and Einat Aronstein) together with the Darbuka players. We were left at the end with the "taste for more".
The program, conducted by Rafi Kadishson, opened with the classic Bach with wonderful soprano Keren Hadar…later on we heard Nonsense song cycle by Lewis Carroll, with the excellent translation of Rina Litvin and Keren Hadar's singing, who expressed with great talent the combination of the sharp text and Kadishson's music."
Keren Hadar's soprano voice went up high and won the hart of the audience. Trough out the concert Hadar demonstrated her vocal ability in extraordinary virtuoso. With her rich voice Hadar switched languishes smoothly and fluently, and adjusted her self perfectly to the guitar." | 2019-04-20T16:44:09 | http://www.keren-hadar.com/press?page=1 |

If this doesn't send you down memory lane I don't know what will.
So, a little backstory about me. Since I was a kid I have always been fascinated by commercials, ads, design and pretty much all things marketing. I even remember when I was young my Mom would record infomercials on a VHS for me to watch later. Something about advertising has always been so fascinating to me.
Which brings us to today. While I was down one of my many YouTube rabbit holes I ran across this gem and had to share. This video is over 30 beautiful minutes of prime time commercials from KAMR ABC 4 right here in Amarillo.
Some of the most notable ads are at 8:18 for a men's cologne that is so 80's it will make you dizzy. 9:19 is an old school Pepsi commercial chilled in nostalgia, and my personal favorite is a drunk driving ad featuring Jim Varney as Ernest P. Worrell at 25:27.
How many of these do you remember? Let us know! | 2019-04-26T09:15:55 | https://mix941kmxj.com/these-80s-kamr-commercials-will-make-you-nostalgia-so-hard/ |
After counting bottles of wine sold, adding up numbers, and dealing with the ins-and-outs of managing financial and operational enterprises, I find solace and indulgence in the evening’s respite. Luckily, my better half is a foodie and I get to tag along for the ride. She loves taking the two of us on savory excursions to wind down when we’ve both had long weeks at the office. My contribution is always the wine, and I try to find that special bottle to do her creations justice.
Last night, we had a tasty recipe that will satisfy any pescetarian’s craving, and I have the pleasure of sharing it with you. We try to use fresh herbs from our balcony garden and veggies from our CSA when possible.
1.Heat 1 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp butter over medium heat in a medium sized heavy-bottomed pot; add carrots and stir until the carrots are coated with the butter and oil. Add 1/2 cup water, salt, and the sugar; cover and cook 5 minutes, or until tender. Uncover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until water evaporates and carrots are just starting to brown, about five minutes. Reserve half of the carrots; in a blender, purée other half with 3/4 cup of hot water.
2. Heat remaining oil and butter over medium heat in same (unwashed) pot used for carrots. Add onion and cook until translucent, about five minutes. Add rice, stirring to coat with oil. Add wine and cook, stirring, until wine evaporates. Add carrot purée and cook, stirring, until mixture absorbs most of the liquid.
3. Add about 1/2 cup of the broth, stirring often, until rice absorbs most of the liquid. Repeat process, adding 1/2 cup of broth at a time and stirring often till each addition is absorbed before adding the next, until rice is al dente (about 20 minutes; at least 1 cup broth will remain).
4. Fold in reserved carrots, Pecorino Romano cheese, parsley, and thyme. Add up to 1 cup of broth (1/4 cup at a time) to loosen the risotto. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
5. Sprinkle sea salt on the scallops. Heat 1 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp butter over medium-high heat in a pan until almost smoking. Place the scallops in the pan, and do not move them for two minutes. Turn to cook the other side for one minute. Serve 5 scallops on each serving’s bed of carrot risotto.
As I take the elevator down from our corporate headquarters, I usually stop on our new sales floor (which, by the way, you should definitely check out if you have not) and visit our sales operations. They are not only extremely hard working, but they help me make these most important everyday drinking decisions.
For this meal, they suggested the Hofstatter Bianco Barthenau Vigna S. Michele 2006. When my wife and I sat down to dinner, the nose of the wine threw us off, as we sensed whiffs of honey and a mineral-saline quality. I thought it would be much stronger on the palate, but it was actually quite mild in flavor with a light fruitiness that complimented the saltiness of the cheeses in the carrot risotto very well. It’s a viscous full-bodied white, almost straw yellow, making it look like a Chardonnay to me. The subtle lingering of the wine and ambrosial decadence of the scallops definitely put my weary mind at ease. It’s good to be home.
During my one-year stay in Italy, I learned about the wines of Liguria. I’d heard that Cinque Terre was a scenic place on the coast of Liguria, and I made it a point to go see the land, drink the wine, eat the food and talk with the people. Cinque Terre means “Five Lands,” and indeed there are five villages that make up the region: Corniglia, Vernazza, Monterosso al Mare, Manarola and Riomaggiore. Cinque Terre, the epicenter of Liguria, is best known by its coastal mountainous trail that can be several hundreds of meters high, and when walking, you’ve nothing but some wires to prevent you from falling to the rocky ocean bottom. This is why you must leave the wine drinking until after the hike.
Many vineyards in Liguria are literally chiseled out of the coastal mountains and rest precariously on terraces. Heat radiates off the rocks and adds extra ripeness to the grapes, something that would not normally be achievable in these higher climes. Not only are these vineyards on steep slopes that allow for good drainage, but they also benefit from cool sea breezes that provide air circulation, which keeps the grapes dry and prevents molds and other forms of rot from developing. The refreshing, cool nights near the coast help the grapes retain their natural acidity, and the proximity to the sea can impart a savory quality to the wines. The region’s dominant white grape varieties, Pigato and Vermentino, thrive in these conditions, and while they’re often considered the same variety, they do portray different flavor profiles.
July is a pretty hot time of year in Italy, and it was exceptionally hot when we decided to go to Liguria. The sun’s rays reflect off the rocks and radiate outward. The heat is good for the grapes, but it’s not that good for me. All I could think about was getting to the next town to sample some of the local food and wine. Thankfully, some clouds came rolling through and showered us with rejuvenating rain. This, however, made the rocky walking surface slippery and slightly more fun. I made it safely from the southernmost town, Riomaggiore, past the second town of Manarola and then into Corniglia. This is not as simple as it sounds as there were close to 400 hundred zigzagging steps needed to get into Corneglia. Still, I made it safely.
After the climb, it was definitely time for food and wine. I found a restaurant with a good view and a nice wine list. I ordered some crudo that consisted of raw local fishes. I don’t remember the types of fish, but they were awesome with the house white. The light, refreshing and crisp character of the wine was a perfect complement to the delicate flavors of the crudo. Next I had Pesto Genovese; Genova is the Capital of Liguria and this basil infused dish is everywhere. I paired this dish with a Pigato from one of the local producers. The wine’s savory, fresh character and aromatic profile played up both the freshness and the aromas of the pesto. This Pigato also paired well with the main course, an assortment of seafood that included mussels, clams, calamari and prawns lightly poached in a simple garlic and parsley broth.
After a white-wine-and-seafood fest I needed something sweet. Fortunately, Liguria makes a dessert wine that is unheard of—unless you’ve been to Liguria and have tasted it. This beloved artisanal wine is called Sciacchetrà, and it’s both rare and expensive. This sweet wine from Cinque Terre is composed of several indigenous white varieties that include Bosco, Vermentino and Albaroa. The grapes are hand-harvested and left to dry in cool ventilated area until the proper dehydration level is reached. Then, the grapes are de-stemmed and crushed. The must is fermented until the wine contains about 14 percent alcohol, leaving residual sugar and a refreshing vein of acidity. Not cloying sweet like many dessert wines, this wine retains its acidic backbone due to the region’s bracing terroir.
After walking three towns and eating a big dinner, I decided that the best route out of Cinque Terre and back to Florence was by train. I didn’t have the energy to hike another two towns, but my mission was accomplished, and I was more than satisfied. Visiting the region, I learned that the wines, the food, and the land of Liguria are not to be missed. The heat, the light, the ocean breezes all converge to create Liguria, and my memory of the place remains tied to the region’s exceptional wines. | 2019-04-21T06:50:30 | http://www.insideiwm.com/tag/seafood/ |

In the mansion both windows have been installed in John Conyers’ bedroom on the principal floor (see photo above). These windows face south and are the first windows we have installed on the south elevation at first-floor level. John Conyers chose a very good position for his bedroom, with the sun streaming into the room and an excellent view along the entrance drive. His wife’s bedroom, on the other hand, faced north with a view into the service yards !
In the south room, on the ground floor, we have installed the window that faces west. This room already has two windows facing south and this third window makes the room even more attractive. The south room is an important room used for study days, teas and all sorts of other events, including the 18th century dancing on 24 September. Three windows have been installed in the wing at first-floor level. A further ground-floor window has been made for the housekeeper’s room. This window has not been fitted yet as we do not have the protective external steel security shutter.
Since the last newsletter the painstaking clearance of the housekeeper’s room has been completed. Several of the archaeologists were involved in this task and many artefacts were recovered, including several parts of the marble fireplace surround.
We were able to transfer these artefacts directly to the new artefact’s room in the basement. This room has been fitted out with shelves and a large table and is expertly managed by one of the archaeologists. At present there is no floor in the housekeeper’s room, although one can walk on the uneven top surface of the vaulted ceiling of the cellars about 9 inches below the eventual level of the floor. Until we can afford the £5,000 for the floor, the room cannot be opened to the public.
We have now received almost all the money for the first part of the stone staircase in the south stairwell. As a consequence, we have now ordered the stone and have finalised the dimensions. Much research has gone into the arrangement of the original staircase, so that its reinstatement is as close to the original as possible. Although there is much evidence in the walls and floor there are a few dimensions that were quite difficult to resolve.
In time for the May Open Day we constructed a temporary staircase (see photo, left) in the wing to ease the flow of visitors, particularly on Open Days. This staircase will eventually be replaced by a decorative cast-iron staircase.
In the mansion both windows have been installed in John Conyers’ bedroom on the principal floor (see photo aboveThis staircase will eventually be replaced by a decorative cast-iron staircase.
Work has begun on the southeast corner of the mansion, which is the last part of the mansion to be stabilised by the insertion of floor structures. Substantial reinforcement of the walls at first and second floor has now been completed and all materials for the floors and temporary roof will be delivered soon and craned into position. Once this work is completed visitors will be able to enter the first-floor drawing room. These works are funded by the Garfield Weston Foundation and by two private donors. Another private donor has financed the first-floor window in the east façade. This was going to be installed in the dining room but now will be fitted in the drawing room as it is much easier in terms of construction. This will be first window in the east façade.
Once it is possible for visitors to enter the drawing room there will be only one inaccessible room on the first floor and that is the state hall, which sits above the entrance hall. Although the room exists with its ceiling structure protected by a roof at high level, there is no floor, for two reasons. First, we initially held all our concerts in the entrance hall below and we needed a tall impressive space right through to the underside of the second floor. Second, as this part of the mansion was stabilised and dry, our priority was to attend to the other parts, which we have done. We are now fundraising to enable us to install this missing floor so the whole of the first floor can be experienced by our visitors. | 2019-04-24T18:21:53 | http://coppedhalltrust.org.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=33&Itemid=34 |

Confluent CORE was a different product that ones I'd reviewed before. There was not specific transport layer included, just gateways, agents, and management points. There are certain businesses that will be very interested in the model that Confluent uses. For example, I was speaking to Scott Loftesness a few month ago about Web services and he made the observation that the financial services industry is not likely to embrace a third-party active intermediary model because of the security risks that would have to be mitigated. I'm inclined to believe Scott on this. CORE is an alternative that provides many necessary features without the attending potential risk of a third party intermediary. | 2019-04-23T10:16:00 | http://iiw.windley.com/archives/2003/07/managing_the_we.shtml |
Katia over at Pardon Me for Asking, published the above photo of the Williamsburg Savings Bank, the caption of which notes that Brooklyn was "long known as 'the city of homes, churches, and rubber plants.'"
Nowhere in the world are there so many rubber plants in captivity as in Brooklyn, and nowhere is so much affection and care lavished on these docile and harmless household pets as in the borough at the drowsy end of the bridge.
Anyone have experience with Brooklyn's famous "family pets"?
Happy Year of the Ox! As Chinatown gets ready to usher in the New Year (see Explore Chinatown for a comprehensive list of events), we thought it would interesting to turn to the archives and look at how the New York Times reported coverage of Chinese New Year’s back when Chinatown was limited to Mott, Pell, and Doyers streets.
The Times first year of coverage was 1883. Despite its Victorian racism (the celebrating Chinese are “agitated,” the young men wear “Melican” clothes), the Times’s coverage seemed to be trying to demystify Chinese culture and show that New York’s Asian residents weren’t as strange or foreign as most people thought.
Also, New York’s Chinatown evidently had no temples (or “joss parlors” in the parlance of the day), thus forcing worshippers to head to Belleville, New Jersey, if they wanted to partake in traditional temple prayers.
It is also worth noting that interest in Chinese New Year coincided with the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act--originally set to run for ten years--which severely curtailed Chinese immigration into the United States.
As anti-Asian sentiment in New York increased over the next few years, coverage of New Year’s Day grew more hostile. By the time the Chinese Exclusion Act was extended in 1893—essentially banning Chinese immigration for the next 50 years—the Times was reduced to calling the celebrants “heathens” and the entire celebration “shifty.” And soon thereafter coverage of the event was dropped by the paper altogether, not to return with any regularity until after World War II.
You can read more about Chinatown and the Chinese Exclusion Act in Inside the Apple, available for pre-order today.
Today’s dramatic Hudson River plunge by US Airways flight 1549—with no loss of life—brought to mind a number of other airplane crashes over the years, from the 2001 American Airlines crash in the Rockaways to the B-25 that flew into the Empire State Building in 1945.
However, perhaps the worst aviation disaster in New York history was the midair collision of a United Airlines DC-8 and a TWA Super Constellation propeller plane on December 16, 1960. The United plane, en route to Idlewild (as JFK was then called), was put into a holding pattern. However, due to poor visibility, a breakdown in the plane’s communications system, and pilot error, the United plane was flying too high and off course, setting it directly in the path of the TWA flight that had been cleared to land at La Guardia.
The two planes struck each other over New Dorp, Staten Island. The TWA plane immediately fell, crashing at Miller Field, a military airstrip. However, the United Flight was still airborne (despite being shorn of its right engine and part of the wing) and began descending toward Brooklyn. Some have guessed that the pilot may have been trying to make an emergency landing in Prospect Park. However, the plane slammed down at the corner of Sterling Place and Seventh Avenue in Park Slope, destroying a funeral home and the aptly named Pillar of Fire Church. Tragically, all 128 passengers and crew on the two planes along with six people on the ground died, making it the worst aeronautical disaster up to that time. Among the people on the ground were a caretaker of the church and a man selling Christmas trees. It is the only time such an in-air collision has taken place over a metropolitan area and—despite criticisms of how the federal government handled the investigation—ultimately led to better training for pilots and safer planes.
Though the scars have faded over the last 48 years, if you go to the intersection of Seventh Avenue and Sterling Place today, you can still see some faint reminders from the crash.
This post isn’t so much about New York City history as it is about doing something good about New York City’s future. One of the major polluters in our landfills is used electronic equipment. And, since manufacturers build all our computers, cell phones, etc., with planned or perceived obsolescence, it is a problem that is only getting worse.
On Saturday, January 10, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Tekserve, “the old reliable Mac shop,” is holding its Third Annual Technology Drive at its store at 119 West 23rd Street. Bring in your old computers, monitors, fax machines, copiers, DVD or VCR players, radios, telephones, cell phones, televisions, cameras, and stereo equipment and Tekserve will make sure they end up in the right place and not just dumped in the ground.

lamps, plexyglas, psychadelic sensors, speakers, wheels, etc.
During my years in the school of fine arts in Lisbon, the teaching methods were not in total contact with the contemporary reality happening outside. So it was as if we had to live double lives, me and my friends – Pedro Cabral Santo and Alexandre Estrela, among many others – working at school during the day, and planning exhibitions and discussing art the rest of the time, sometimes through the night.
Night Art School is a yellow Formica Box with 24 white lights, my age at the time. Psychadelic sensors make the lights react – through a red plexyglas – in 3 basic patterns to the ambient noise made by people inside the cistern of the school. This was alternated with 30 second spots of electronic music (mainly Kraftwerk and Negativland) to simulate the circadian cycle. The formica box/school building is shown as a maquete on top of two sculpture tripods – used for clay sculpting inside the school- over green grass.
The set reminds me of Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory. As if this was a scale model for a new experimental art school.
Wallmate was an exhibition I organized with Alexandre Estrela in the 5th and final year in the fine art school as a reaction to the academicist concepts prevailing inside the school.

Uber is taking their self-driving cars down to Arizona. This comes just days after the company launched these cars in San Francisco without the proper permit from the Department of Motor Vehicles in California. Uber believed that particular law didn't apply to them, considering they have a driver behind the wheel of these autonomous or self-driving Volvo's, which meant that they aren't actually self-driving. But the DMV thought otherwise and ordered the ride-sharing company to take the vehicles off the road immediately. Uber has done that, and these vehicles are now on their way down to Arizona.
Many may wonder why Arizona? Well Arizona's governor, Doug Ducey, has said that they can bring their self-driving cars down to his State and they can run on public roads without any issues. Uber has loaded up their vehicles and they are now on their self-driving Otto trucks and headed to Arizona. These Otto trucks didn't appear to be self-driving the trip from San Francisco to Arizona, however. An Uber spokesperson spoke with The Verge regarding the move, and stated that they will be expanding their pilot of these self-driving cars in Arizona over the next few weeks. The move to Arizona is all due to the fact that Uber did not want to apply for a permit that costs just $150. It's more than likely that it cost them more than that to take the 16 Volvo's down to Arizona.
Just this week, Uber began rolling out these self-driving cars in San Francisco, and they were picking up passengers. The DMV got involved pretty quickly. However, what's more important here is the fact that these vehicles are not ready for primetime. There are multiple videos showing these self-driving Volvo's running red lights, as well as jumping into the bike lanes. Which in San Francisco, is a pretty important part of the road. Self-driving cars are not new to Arizona, as Waymo (at the time, Google's Self-Driving Car Project) began testing their autonomous vehicles in the State earlier this year. Arizona is quickly becoming a popular place for autonomous vehicle testing, along with California and Michigan. Uber is already testing self-driving Ford Focus' in Pittsburgh, along with a fleet of Tesla Model X's in Madrid. | 2019-04-23T20:06:42 | https://www.androidheadlines.com/2016/12/uber-moves-self-driving-car-pilot-arizona.html |
There is an article called “Six Ways to Become a Wise Leader” by Prasad Kaipa and Navi Radjou (good advice) and it reminded me of so many books, articles and blogs that begin with a numerical list. The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People was a highly popular book with over 10 million sold. There is a more ancient text called “The Ten Commandments.” Why is it that the “top ten” or the “sweet sixteen” “elite eight” and “final four” carry so much attraction? Or do they? Who has the time, interest or inclination to review “the top 100 songs?” There is a list of the top tens that has about everything you can think of from the top ten cars to the top ten tips for staying safe online. You can find the lists here: http://www.the-top-tens.com/ Ten seems to be the preferred number when creating lists. It’s the number of digits in most telephone numbers including the area code. Maybe it’s what the mind can grasp and hold onto.
It could be a revealing exercise to have to decide what is most important, according to our own values and beliefs and understand why one item is more important than another. What if we were to condense the top ten into the top three? What we discard may say as much as what we keep. I am facing that exercise in the coming weeks as I try to eliminate some stuff, especially clothes and personal belongings, in order to reduce what I perceive as excess. Why keep this piece and why get rid of that one? Shouldn’t be too hard if one is in the frame of mind to eliminate. After all, it’s just stuff, not all that important in the scheme of things. A number of us tend to accumulate without balancing accumulation with expulsion. I’m going to work on the eliminate side of the equation.
Beyond possessions and material objects, how would you go about creating that list of the top ten most important values in your life? What is that which you hold most precious, most valuable and of greatest worth? There are a number of values exercises which can help do this. Brene Brown has a great list and if you were to pick your top ten from her list, you will find out how hard that is. Imagine getting to the top three, As we move through this Spring, a time for growth and new life in our natural surroundings, at least in the northern hemisphere, we will have numerous opportunities to examine why, how and where we want to invest our time, energy and resources. In the southern hemisphere, with Autumn coming on, think of the leaves falling to get ready for new ones later on. For now, I need to plan, sort, decide; plan, sort, decide and move on. It’s all a process of unfolding, evolving, engaging and celebrating.
I think you hit on it when you said we have opportunities to examine why and how we spend our time. Personally, that’s my favorite exercise to uncover values. Looking at a list rarely gets to the heart. Of course, looking at a list, we would all agree that we value this or that, freedom or family, or maybe honesty or loyalty. However, it’s our living, and our choices that uncover our values. You know where to look? Our stories. A story where you were totally frustrated. (What value was getting stomped on?) Another great place to look is at a peak moment in your life. What makes is stand out?
As always, stopping here is time well spent. Thank you!
Thanks for stopping by. You have a perspective that reveals why you are a good coach. Love your questions too. You also have a way of looking beyond the obvious and taking people to a place they may not have considered previously. Like where we spend our time reveals our values, so does where we spend our money. I can tell as much about someone from their checkbook or credit card as I can by listening to them. | 2019-04-21T18:53:20 | https://garygruber.com/beyond-numbers/ |

The full nationwide impact of sequestration is yet to be determined but one likely impact to the public transportation federal program is cuts to the New Starts program. MAP-21 had already included cuts to New Starts, and with the likelihood of sequester cuts in this already constrained environment, it will lead to impacts on intended payment schedules and slow funding for projects that have already started or are in the planning stages. FTA Administration & Research accounts, Hurricane Sandy Emergency Relief, as well as FRA, Amtrak, and some FHWA funds are also impacted. Transit formula dollars are not expected to be impacted.
Over the past week, APTA has participated in a flurry of meetings to strengthen national and regional partnerships on behalf of the industry.
In Philadelphia, APTA Chair Flora Castillo and APTA President & CEO Michael Melaniphy joined Mayor Michael Nutter, chair of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, to discuss public transportation’s role in community and economic development.
In Washington, DC, Melaniphy was invited to a full-day meeting at the White House, hosted by the U.S Surgeon General Vice Admiral Regina Benjamin, to explore the role of public transit in creating healthier cities. Melaniphy also participated in AASHTO’s Transportation Industry Roundtable to advocate for securing the necessary revenues to keep the Trust Fund sustainable.
In Phoenix, Melaniphy spoke before the Friends of Transit conference where he accepted an award on behalf of APTA and toured Valley Metro.
This week, APTA Chair Flora Castillo moderated a webinar, “Creating Sustainable Human Capital Investment: New Programs and Tools,” part of a series of “Transportation Tuesdays Online,” sponsored by APTA’s Transit Board Members Committee. Fred Daniels, chair, APTA Transit Board Members Committee, and chair, MARTA Board of Directors, presided during this highly successful program. The webinar included a number of APTA members discussing workforce development and tools available from the FTA that will help public transit agencies and businesses attract and build a new generation of skilled workers, including a comprehensive job profile guide and a new on-line career management site.
The APTA Bus & Paratransit Conference is coming up May 5-8, 2013 in Indianapolis. If you want the latest news about policy, planning, operations and maintenance, and public transportation in today’s operating environment, you won’t want to miss the great sessions this event offers.

Call me old-school but I often have a hard time wrapping my head around the “thank u, next” trend. While the overnight success of this pop culture sensation may point to our continuous collective quest for something new, the only space where I can relate to this millennial anthem is the world of tech. Given that the incredibly promising and steadfastly efficient blockchain technology has officially been around for over a decade now, what’s more exciting than exploring the possibilities it has in store?
Ariana Grande can keep her hits and likes, while I keep wondering if it’s already time to swipe left on the three blockchain generations that have made an appearance over these ten years. The fourth generation of blockchain is coming our way, and while the details are still somewhat vague, I can’t help but be excited.
What will blockchain 4.0 look like and will it be worth moving on from the other three that came before? The questions are endless but I am determined to find an answer.
Before delving into the details of what lies ahead, it is imperative to have a look at what came before. Not doing so would be great disservice to the ongoing legacy of the blockchain. While necessity might be the mother of invention, innovation is rooted in the labour of those who came up with the earlier versions of any technology.
Roughly a decade ago, the first practically applicable blockchain made a subtle, almost unnoticed entry into our world. Developed to be the technology underlying Bitcoin, the first ever cryptocurrency, blockchain was far more niche than it is today. Back then, if you interrupted a business executive at a meeting and asked him what blockchain was, he’d likely be clueless about it. Today, even if every person walking up and down the street might not know about it, a large section of business executives, entrepreneurs and governments definitely do.
The idea of the first generation of blockchain, developed by Bitcoin’s anonymous founder Satoshi Nakamoto, was that of a distributed ledger of information, simultaneously validated by a large number of nodes spread out all over the world. Promising transparency, immutability, accountability and security, this blockchain began to gather speed as more and more cryptocurrencies (mostly forks of Bitcoin) like Litecoin.Com and Bitcoin Cash started coming to the fore with blockchain at their respective cores.
The first generation of blockchain was characterized by the Proof of Work consensus mechanism, which necessitated the use of heavy mining hardware and expenditure of significant resources. It was a good start but soon problems started emerging in terms of scalability, interoperability, sustainability and speed. Till date, Bitcoin is one of the slowest cryptocurrencies out there, taking about 10 minutes to confirm a transaction.
Nakamoto’s blockchain was mostly limited to facilitation of payments, at slow speeds and high costs. The promised security and immutability were often suspect as well, collapsing in the face of possible 51% attacks. The second generation of blockchain led by ethereum in 2013, sought to overcome a few of these limitations.
The new blockchain offered a world of expanding functionalities: from hosting blockchain smart contracts to decentralized applications, from tokenizing assets to supporting DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations). These still used the Proof of Work algorithm and continued to have high network fees and less-than-optimal speeds but fueled by the availability of new functionalities, Ethereum quickly became the darling of businesses, the go-to blockchain for enterprise use. NEO, Waves, BAT quickly followed suit.
The third generation of blockchain is still the new kid on the block, trying to fix the failings of the versions that have come before. Focusing on scaling up, the third generation blockchain networks are also trying to introduce greater interoperability and boost network speeds. Promoting cross chain transactions, using techniques such as sharding (particularly in the case of Ziliqa) and establishment of parallel chains are only some of the approaches being taken by these 3rd generation blockchain solutions.
Using mostly Proof of Stake and other new consensus protocols, the third generation blockchain networks include notable examples like Cardano, IOTA, Nano and so on.
So, what does the fourth generation of blockchain seek to achieve?
Considering the fact that the third generation of blockchain is still finding its footing, trying to attain popularity and higher adoption, it can sound a little unnecessary to consider a fourth generation of the technology right away. However, in the world of tech, change is the only thing that is constant and some visionary firms have already gotten moving, before the space gets too crowded.
What is the fourth generation of blockchain? Ask an expert, you will probably find an answer. Ask another, and you will end up with two. The reason is that the fourth generation of blockchain is not here yet and we do not have a crystal clear picture of what it looks like. Some writers feel that a combination of third generation blockchain and AI will spawn Blockchain 4.0 but honestly, I believe that it can be so much more than that.
A few projects have already come out with their whitepapers, suggesting the wide variety of changes the new blockchain can incorporate. The defining characteristic of Blockchain 4.0 seems to be that it does not just seem to improve, like the third generation does. Instead, it seeks to innovate.
In all these years of its existence, blockchain has accomplished much but has hit a major roadblock when it comes to mass adoption. While big businesses, a few governments and some individual entrepreneurs may be riding on the blockchain hype, the technology is yet to permeate to local institutions, the common people, schools, colleges, small businesses and the likes.
The fourth generation of blockchain should seek to break that very divide, by making the technology accessible to institutions and industries, governments and common folks. While there are a few projects trying to take the proverbial leap into the future, a couple of them happened to catch my eye with their innovative propositions.
One of them is Multiversum, a new blockchain platform being created, with the aim of mass adoption in mind. While existing blockchains would perform poorly with complexly organized data, this fourth generation blockchain solution offers to adapt to the hierarchical and multifaceted nature of real life organizations. Establishing relational databases, that can make connections between the various pieces of information stored on the ledger, the new offering hopes to meet the needs of organizations and governments more effectively.
Interestingly, this project also attempts a spin on the oft-lauded trait of immutability in blockchain. It suggests an operational rollback feature to make edits and changes, without affecting the transparency and dependability of the blockchain network in question. The incorporation of biometric information to hashes and cryptographic keys also presents an intriguing solution to the issue of security, and might be used for this particular blockchain project.
Even as the project aims to focus on novel features to facilitate widespread usage, it also tries to improve upon what has been an enduring failing of blockchain technology: low scalability. Perhaps a little too ambitiously, it claims to be working on “unlimited scalability”. Including validation, the speed is supposed to be 0.2s, with throughput being capable of reaching 1000 Tps per core. This means that a 64-core server is automatically able to reach up to 64,000 Tps. A unique Proof of Integrity consensus mechanism is expected to bind this all together.
Another fourth generation blockchain project, quite simply named the SOOM 4th Blockchain, is trying to take simpler route to achieving higher efficiency and adoption. According to its whitepaper, it is trying to incorporate the element of space into the usual configuration involving blockchain and time. A new grouping algorithm is meant to divide the nodes into groups for maximised efficiency, while another algorithm takes care of mobile-mining opportunities.
Basically, the 4th Blockchain is being developed as a blockchain-as-a-service (BaaS) platform to cater to a plethora of industrial needs. Each peer-to-peer transaction is made by cells, each cell having 512 nodes grouped together based on space and time factors by the unique grouping algorithm. It is an interesting way to approach the efficiency and scalability problem, introducing brand new innovation to tackle existing issues and cater to mass requirements.
Some other projects like Aergo and Insolar are also in the making, as far as fourth generation blockchain is concerned. Insolar is designed as a BaaS platform offering compliant, governance-friendly hybrid blockchain networks. It also promises to execute smart contracts using data from cloud-based domains. Aergo, for its part, offers to have around 1 million Tps and sidechain solutions to solve existing scalability issues.
Clearly, for the fourth generation blockchain projects, the possibilities seem to be enormous. Even as previously unseen solutions to the scalability issues keep emerging, some new projects promise to transform the very terrain of blockchain by coming up with mass-friendly, more pragmatic features.
The fourth generation of blockchain, whatever it may look like, will not be monotonous. It will be variegated, radical, exciting and unique. As new doors open up and whitepapers give us more food for thought.

[Question #479] Question for the Doctors.
The research is saying that the chances of a false negative result with a 4th gen duo is 0.1 percent at 6 weeks. I'd imagine the number would probably be very very close to that at a 28 day interval would you agree? Maybe like 0.2 percent? Which is basically 0 in all purposes.
Curious as to your interpretation of this data. With a percentile like that in all purposes that would equate to NO chance.
*Sigh* Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob. One of the worst things anxious people can do is keep searching the internet. Nate Silver is the now famous statistician (fivethirtyeight.com) who, among other things, wrote a book called The Signal and the Noise. Among the things he wrote was (approximate quote): "Put an anxious person in a room with a computer and an internet connection and soon he'll be mistaking his cold for the bubonic plague." In this instance, you've found a nice study that largely confirms the advice I gave last time. Still, all things considered, I think you'll do better to move on without further online investigations!
In my previous reply, I cited the imprecision in the data about HIV test performance, including "So we're left with biological principles, animal studies, and scant data in exposed or newly infected persons." The study cite is very well done, by an excellent and well respected research team. However, the methods in their abstract say this: "Data were extracted from published seroconversion panels." Such seroconversion panels are the sort of thing I was referring to with "scant data in exposed or newly infected persons". These are the best data available in humans, but they are far from perfect. Within the limits of those flawed data sets, the investigators' conclusions appear valid. However, their estimates are more precise only because they combined the imperfect data (using a technique called meta-analysis) from several studies of several available tests.
Having said all that, thank you for drawing my attention to the study. I'm pleased to see that it essentaily confirms the advice Dr. Hook and I have been giving, as I related in your last thread. We agree that for all practical purposes, the chance of a negative duo test at 6 weeks is zero. The only slight difference is that i would confidently shorten that to 4 weeks, with maybe very rare exceptions, e.g. following post-exposure prophylaxis.
Thanks for your reply. I did also find that data interesting.
However I read the World Health Organization has changed their guidelines to 6 weeks. Which is a good sign. And the BASHH states 4 weeks.
I wish there were more people out there (experts) such as yourself and Dr. Hook.
Because any general MD will tell you 3 months. Because they are following an outdated guideline.
Were you at all surprised at 4th gen tests when they first came out how accurate they were in such a short time frame?
I wasn't at all surprised by the performence of the 4th gen tests. For experts who understand HIV, those results were expected.
The problem here is one of perspective. Nobody goes out of their way to "mak[e] people unnecessarily worried about length of time to test for a definitive result". OROH, these are not the main concerns of those who design tests or implement widespread HIV testing. That is, the worries of people who test after specific exposures are not the primary concern of CDC and others responsible for public health and clinical services. The large majority of people at risk for HIV, and the main targets of expanded testing, aren't worried (and often are clueless) about particular exposures. People like you, and others who are over-represented on this and similar forums, are the exceptions. For those reasons, I don't expect much change in strategies or official advice from testing agencies any time soon.
That some (many? most?) clinicians still stick with 3 months is a slightly different issue. No agency has gone out of its way to change providers' understandings. Three months is outmoded with modern HIV test methods. OTOH, many clinicians -- like many official agencies -- would prefer to be conservative, i.e. to take no chance of reassuring someone who might actually be infected. The advice from the average doc in practice eventually will catch up, but it will take time.
It all makes sense as to what you are saying. I believe it is universally agreed that the average time to Seroconversion is about 22 days? Correct me if I am wrong on that. I couldn't imagine back in the 80's when first gen tests came out and and practically failed to pick up infections for months. Technology has come a long long way since then.
I really hope there will be an HIV vaccine/cure one day. Mind you with HAART therapy a person diagnosed early can live a normal lifespan.
Have you heard of that man who claimed he had a cure by injecting the HIV Virus into goats and than taking the goat serum antibodies and injecting them into HIV patients and their viral loads became undetectable and essentially never returned.
Could be quackery but it seemed interesting.
Also wanted to let you know I had a 41 day 6 week duo test negative again. These tests are purely for psychological support.
Once again. Take care sir.
Thanks for the thanks. I can't vouch for "unversal agreement" about the average seroconversion time. I will point out that "seroconversion" is normally used to refer strictly to antibody testing, not to antigen testing and hence not necessarily to duo tests. I would have thought the "average" time for duo test positivity would be shorter than 22 days. And even there, which "average" is intended? Mean or median? Statistically, it can be a big difference.
I am unfamiliar with and very doubtful of the HIV cure you report.
Of course no surprise your latest test was also negative. It will stay that way forever, assuming no new exposure.
That concludes the two follow-up comments and replies that come with each new question, so this thread will be closed. Please resist any itemptation to post any more questions related this exposure and related issues. Thanks. | 2019-04-26T06:44:47 | https://www.askexpertsnow.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=openTicketFront&ticket_id=479 |
Per Haglund is a father of two and runs App Family, a one-man business making kids’ games. He has spent the last two sleep-deprived years building his game portfolio while juggling a day job and family commitments. He’s pretty excited about Corona’s Graphics 2.0 and upcoming Windows Phone support.
Every now and then that thought crosses my mind. You see, I’m not a 13-year-old serial entrepreneur who founded his first company while in kindergarten. I’m 34, married, have two baby girls and a receding hairline. And I’m slowly but surely building up my own app business on the side of my day job.
I started making apps started as a hobby back in the days when I didn’t have any kids. After a few false starts I created Peg Puzzle for Android in 2011 while my wife was pregnant with our first child. The game was relatively successful, and over the last two years I’ve continued to build more games in the hope that I can eventually quit my day job and make a living as an app entrepreneur. However, as the app revenue has grown, so has my family, and with it the constraints on my time.
–> Total working days spent putting my daughter to bed: (0.75 * 700 * 1) / 8 = 65 days. Ouch… That’s three months of work ‘lost.’ Any parent out there can relate to the utter sense of despair when the kids just simply won’t fall asleep, which Adam Mansbach captures in exquisite detail in this hilarious book.
Constraints in general can be extremely frustrating, but the positive side of them is that they make you focus on what you can achieve given the available resources. If you don’t have much time, you quickly realize that you can’t do everything. You learn to say “No” when random tablet manufacturers in China want to pre-install your apps but don’t want to pay you a cent to do so. You learn to ignore ad-network “Vice Presidents” who want you to “jump on a quick Skype call.” You learn, sadly, to grind away at the important stuff rather than run off and spend a dozen hours exploring some awesome Graphics 2.0 idea that just popped into your head. You develop a laser-sharp focus on what really matters, and plan your time carefully.
Unfortunately, your precise plans can dissolve at a moment’s notice when you have a family. The daycare center might call you and say that your kid has a fever. Or your wife/husband falls ill and needs to rest while you take care of the kids. If you’re working from home, your kids might simply want to play with you. Or your better half really needs help to sort out some stuff around the house, and suddenly your desk is full of tools. At those times all you can do is swallow your frustration, go with the flow and accept that family comes first.
Given the time constraints and volatility of any plans you make, always be ready to get some work done whenever you find a spare moment. I usually review legal agreements during lunch at my day job (as far as I know such documents are still legally binding despite the coffee stains). I huddle in our bathroom to take Skype calls with the US west coast at 10pm Swedish time just to avoid waking up the kids. I’m writing this guest piece over the course of 5 daily commutes. You get the idea. This way of working is utterly exhausting over time, but that’s just how it is.
Now, my situation is by no means unique. People outside of the app industry don’t realize it, but loads of apps are made by independent developers like myself. Not a studio making $2.4M per day, just a single guy or gal working in their spare time, striving to create amazing apps that delight their friends, family, and total strangers on the other side of the world. Each of them having their own particular constraints on time and money, yet managing to overcome them through sheer passion and determination. Under these circumstances, having a family must be one of the most pleasant sources of time constraints. It also comes with a few perks for kids apps developers, such as in-house beta testers.
To anyone who’s thinking about getting into the app business, or already in it but about to have kids, I’d like to offer two pieces of advice. First, make sure you get started on any new projects before you have kids. It’s really hard to get the ball rolling when your days and nights start filling up with changing diapers, preparing formula, and carrying around crying babies. At that point you are facing a year or two of low energy and little spare time. Second, if you can, set up your life to have some financial slack. Don’t live at the edge of your financial means. Buy a smaller house or apartment than you could actually afford, a cheaper car, less fancy furniture/clothes/TV and so on. Even if you don’t need the slack right at this moment, the day will come when you want spend more time on your app business to really make it fly.
For me, that day is January 1st, 2014 – I’m leaving my day job and going all in. Wish me luck!
Wishing you the best of luck in your soon to be full-time endeavor. Lovely time of your life with two young ones. Happy holidays.
Excellent post, it’s almost like reading my own entrepreneurship experience.
I can say that sharing your dreams with your family is the most fulfilling experience of your life.
Happy holidays and best of luck!!!
I can really relate to this article, very much in the same boat. Good luck!
I’m in the same situation here, day job, wife, 2 years kid and working on games in my “spare” time.
Wish you luck and success!
Wow. Kudos to you my friend. Very inspiring. Best of luck to you and your apps.
Ditto here: full-time job, married, two kids, no spare time, and I could barely manage to finish one app, how on earth did you manage a whole portfolio?! 😀 Congrats are due, and wish you much success on your full-time app-dev venture!
I’d imagine there are many parents out there who resonate with this posting. I have a very similar situation, but am a Mom with teenagers. Word of advice…don’t believe them when they say that when the kids get bigger, ‘it gets easier’. 🙂 Best of luck as you go ‘all in!’ in January!
I have an incredible amount of respect for a person willing to put in the work to not only put their family first, but also follow their dreams of building an app business. Excellent work enduring the long nights and early days to make you dream a reality! I wish you the best of luck on your new position 😉 Keep doing what you love!
Good luck with going full time with the apps! We are a husband and wife team and I’m sure my husband can relate as he still keeps his day job. I have heard him say many of the same things!
Thanks for sharing. Now I know that at least one other individual understands the challenge. But letting go is usually the best medicine.
Congratulations! And Good Luck! Sounds like you’re really making it work.
Being in the same boat I wonder if there is a support group for us.
If you find one dedicated to parentrepreneur app developers and designers please let me know. I would love to join!
So true … such a right words , i’m freelancer with 1 son but the words are became really in right place and situation is similar 🙂 Go go go with app’s maybe 1 app will build your life and you will have more time for family without thinking about day work.
p.s. i’m sure that on full time developer you will make more money than your day work … just mine opinion.
I am Chris Russells wife and mother to the twins – I also run a business from home that keeps me at my computer most of the time, plus I work on the apps with the husband and play full time mum – your story sounds like ours, only we’re not quite ready to go all in yet! Good luck to all the tired mums and dads out there writing apps, don’t forget to take a night off once in a while, or you’ll end up crazy like us!
Wow, thanks for all your kind words! You guys and gals are awesome :). I will try to make all you fellow ‘parentrepreneurs’ proud in 2014! Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you want to talk apps and kids or kids apps.
Nice to see i’m not the only Swedish father of 2 with a day-job building games with corona. Keep up the good work.
One man apps developer is cool. One man with family apps developer rocks. Best wishes to your apps and family.
Do you create apps for others or only for yourself? I am planning to hire an app developer to build an app for me.
Inspiring story. Keep up the good work!
beautifully written, I love you post.
Because of the kids I suddenly was used to much less hours of sleep – I developed my game “Freeze!” completely at nightly hours when the family was asleep, only interrupted by one or two of the kids waking up at night in need of some maintenance. So during a timespan of about nine month I only slept about four hours in average per night – much less than I was used to before I became a father.
God Bless You and your family! I hope your new full-time venture is successful!
All the best for your new full time job Per. Am sure you’ll just do great as most of us do relate to your experience. Cheers.
Great post! We are a husband and wife team just really dipping our toes in the game dev world…we can relate to the time management issues too.
Great post, it sounds like a lot of people are in a similar situation!
I’ve just become a dad too for the first time and I’ve started a blog about being a one-man game developer and a new parent. My son is only ten weeks old but I’m already recognising a lot of what you say in my own life.
Thanks again everyone, merry Christmas to you all!
Good luck, thanks for the awesome article, I’m about to have my first child in the next 6 months, and this article rings dear to me and is a good wake up call to make sure everything is in order.
All the best mate, I hear you loud and clear. We’re all in the same boat sooner or later!
Hope your apps make an absolute fortune!
Very good post , thank you for that.
I wish you good luck with your business and family.
Congratulations Per. Well done on all your hard work and thanks for the advice. We (a team of two independent artists/developers) just launched our first app ‘Scribbaloo Pigs’ for android and IOS.

During the 1930's, China was at its worse and at the brink of war, exacerbated by looming threats from foreign invaders that were hungry for power. It was a time when passionate individuals with admirable courage and strength stood united to fight for their land.
Lan Yan Zhi (Zhao Li Ying) is the only daughter of Lan Chang Ming, the owner of Shanghai bank. She is privileged, spoiled and rich but a chance encounter with Song Mian (Yuan Wen Kang) drags her into the Sino-Japanese War to become a member of the Nationalist party. During her lowest moments, she finds a renewed spirit with the help of Communist compatriot Zhou Tie Shan (Lu Yi).
Spy dramas such as Disguiser and Decoded have proven the popular appeal of the genre and this September 2016 welcomes two spy thrillers going head to head, pitting Li Yi Feng's Sparrow against Zhao Li Ying's Rookie Agent Rouge. Sparrow is Yuan Wenkang and Lu Yi's first collaboration even though they belong under the same management company and both expressed positive experiences from working together. The series premiered Sept. 27, 2016 on Zhejiang TV and Jiangsu TV.

Paul Henderson graduated from the Diploma of Share Trading and Investment in 2012 and the Advanced Diploma of Share Trading and Investment in 2015.
I completed the courses with Wealth Within because I was looking to control my own financial destiny to have the lifestyle I was seeking. I choose Wealth Within because the course content and support really met my requirements, particularly with the government accreditation, as it gave me the confidence that it would provide me with the necessary skills to be successful in trading the stock market. Having completed the courses, I can honestly say, it has allowed me to get to a position in my life where I am trading confidently, safely and successfully.
Erica Bacon shares her journey in completing the Diploma and the Advanced Course.
After attending a weekend workshop I started my journey in the stock market by trading highly leveraged markets and while I was successful for a couple of weeks, the market turned nasty and I lost a lot of money. So I rang my CFD broker to close my account but he encouraged me to speak with Wealth Within to get an education. I must say that I was amazed at how well the course was structured and how well I was supported. Not only was it an enjoyable learning experience, I could tell I was getting a real quality education and I loved their no-nonsense approach to trading. I am now in a position where I am trading full time and earning my income from the markets.
Shane Feneck graduated from the Diploma of Share Trading and Investment in 2016 and is now completing the Forex and CFD Course.
I began my journey 20 years ago attending various seminars and workshops, and I was getting mixed results with my trading, as I had received a lot of information rather than education. It was hard to validate if what I was taught actually worked until I put my money on the market and I learned with Wealth Within is that I had never learnt how to trade properly. I found the structure and the way the course was delivered, as well as the support they provided allowed me to not only gain the knowledge but also an understanding of how to achieve the outcomes I was seeking in the market. | 2019-04-23T14:54:55 | https://www.wealthwithin.us/education/reviews/video-testimonials?page=8 |
Harness Mind Power – Wealth Creation!
Over thirty years ago, when I owned the largest chain of motorcycle shops in South London I got into serious financial difficulties. Fortuitously for me, I met an astute old Irishman by the name of Seamus O’Rourke, affectionately known as Paddy or Jim. He quickly encouraged me to start brainstorming, thinking, bending my mind to things and I would suggest to you that the sooner you start to harness the billion neurons in your own biocomputer, as well as those billions of cells in other peoples brains, the sooner you too will be on the road to riches. Jim pointed out to me that by selling new motorcycles we were making about 17% profit but on second-hand motorcycles about 117% profit. Many times you get to close to your own business, but by brainstorming and thinking and harnessing your mind your can move onward and upward, sometimes very quickly. By phasing out the new motorcycle sales and ramping up second hand sales my mini empire started to turn the financial corner.
Luckily for me, Jim applied mind power on a daily basis, and very quickly we brainstormed ourselves into an even more profitable situation. Jim pointed out that 117% was great, but he said, “Let’s carry out an exercise on the profit margins when we break up wrecked bikes and sell them for spares.” We were both delighted to realise bikes we got in as scrap, often for pennies, generated an average of 1117% profit. Oh! La! La! Very quickly we owned Aladdin’s Cave at Hampton Court, the largest motorcycle breakers in the country…and never looked back.
Between us we harnessed more mind power by taking on a number of salesmen who were paid a very low basic wage but very high commissions, based on sales. We created a true win-win situation. This freed up our time and I suggested to Jim we set up a consultancy business to run alongside the retail empire. With cost effective adverts like, ‘Cash Flow Problems – Creditors Putting on Pressure’ strategically placed in magazines like Exchange & Mart, we very quickly had the phones ringing off the hook. We spent our days in the bike shops and evenings driving up and down the country helping SMEs slash overheads, pace creditors and massively increase their profit margins. We taught cost effective marketing and also taught our clients how to harness their own and other peoples mind power. I wrote my first book about this valuable business experience and called it GET OUT DEBT AND INTO THE MONEY…now re-titled Debt Free with Financial Kung Fu featuring Peter Hobday and Valerie Singleton and it still pulls in royalties some 32 years on, as a MP3 download and CD pack.
Over the years I have come to realise that the people who make it big, do so by harnessing mind-power, intuitively, accidentally or intentionally. I don’t know how many millionaires I helped create over the years – but it’s lots, and they all harnessed mind power. People like Andy Hunt who owns ClearSky Properties who is now a multimillionaire with homes all over the world, will tell you that I gave him paradigm shift, that changed his thinking and his life forever. Robert Frater caught on after reading Talk & Grow Rich and harnessing the power of meditation and visualization and went from literally owning nothing to becoming a millionaire, who incidentally is now writing a business book of his own and Clive Branson became world champion fisherman after one mind power session with me.
So just how does one harness mind power and start wealth creation? You read the right books, study and talk to people. Start to realise that the ‘Real Secret’ is within your own mind. You need to tap into latent powers and you do this by practicing goal setting, meditation, visualization, and brainstorming. You need to start capturing and writing down the little ideas and hunches that start coming to you as a result of these practices and then start acting on those ideas when they do arrive. ACTION is the key to the brains ignition and combined with mind power techniques you’ll switch your biocomputer ON and it will become an infallible tool for generating massive wealth creation, money making ideas and solutions to problems. You will have arrived! | 2019-04-21T08:30:18 | http://www.ronhollanddirect.com/harness-mind-power-wealth-creation/ |
Today we will teach you how you can root your Samsung Galaxy Y, which is a mid range smartphone and still very popular specially in India and Pakistan, this phone have 830 MHz ARMv6 processor, 2 MP camera & 240 x 320 pixels, 3.0 inches screen.

I am going to put the CHN-50 into a set of uMar-KenPlus flat-paks i have.
Stefan, you might get a mail from a fellow in NL looking for FH3 for a set of Coral Holey baskets.
FWIW: Miscellaneous designs -Mark Audio, Fostex, TB, Dayton, Seas etc.
They'll go in FHL too of course.
Cheers Dave, I can't seem to see the dims for those drivers anywhere. You got a link or a document?
Vintage Coral driver from the Japanese era of the generic 4” FR.
I think i have some downstairs.
Thanks Dave, it would great to know the cutout dimensions before your guy got in touch.
It might be hard to make look nice without painting but I always thought the FH's could have drop in flush baffles for specific drivers, same CNC cabinet, but you just buy the baffle cutout you need, would make swapping drivers over a bit easier.
I did look at that at one point but it was a bit of a pain. Still might have another go at some point.
We shipped some FH3 with removable baffles, and all the FH-Lite flat-paks we did. I have a client that didn’t like the look of an sB so made the add-on baffle full height.
Yes, CHR-70 with Eminence Alpha 15a woofers. Lots of fun. I imagine the new drivers will do much better, but like other said, with helper woofers.
I am also running CHR-70s OB with a Goldwood 10 inch "OEM" as a helper woofer. I had to pad the MA down some to match the woofer's lower efficiency but I think it sounds really nice in this application. I am considering some sort of Alpair 7 for another project (sealed or possibly PR) largely as a result of my experience with the CHRs. I just need to figure out which version is the most apropos.

(Bloomberg Opinion) -- For the best part of a decade, politicians and investors have looked at the European Central Bank as a guiding light through uncertain economic times. They may need to adapt to a new reality. On three important questions for the future of the euro zone, the ECB just cannot make its mind up.
Nevertheless, none of this is an entirely convincing explanation for stubbornly low inflation. There may be structural factors at play, including the impact of globalization and technological change – something the Fed has been looking at. So long as the mystery remains unsolved, central banks may have little choice but to keep pumping money into the economy to meet their inflation targets.
On Wednesday, Draghi hinted that the negative rate idea might need reassessing. “If necessary, we need to reflect on possible measures that can preserve the favorable implications of negative rates for the economy, while mitigating the side effects, if any,” he said. This was pretty non-committal, but suggests a rethink might be on its way. Could the ECB opt for a tiered system, where the negative deposit rate applies only above a certain exemption threshold? In an interview with Bloomberg News, Peter Praet, the bank’s chief economist, said the governing council would need a clear monetary policy case before doing so. Once again, it’s hard for investors to read which way the ECB is going to jump. | 2019-04-18T12:30:10 | https://www.bloombergquint.com/view/2019/03/28/the-ecb-is-struggling-with-three-big-questions |
Car is RUST FREE and has 2 year old paint. The wide bodykit was professionally installed and smoothed out to a show quality finish ( Not riveted on like a race car) Well over $8,000 in body and paint work. The body moulding and fenders spats were all custom done to finish the car out as the widebody kit was not intent on reusingthem.
Car still retains the factory spark plug wires. A tune up would be beneficialto this car as it does not get driven like it should and spends most of the time in storage. The quarter glass was trimmed out in black but was needs redone.
Overall a great car for someone who wants to take this car to the next level.
Please look at pictures and ask questions.
This car is located in New Haven Indiana.

Follow us on twitter and facebook for news from the world of fusion, notes on PhD life and, of course, podcast updates! Available on itunes.
A light, informative, inspiring podcast all about the field of fusion energy research as seen through the eyes of PhD students from the Fusion CDT! Refresh your knowledge with our first four ‘introductory’ episodes, wet your whistle on the second spotlight set or quench your thirst listening to our chats about the questions and answers (and where they come from) of fusion energy and plasma physics.
Our first set (after introducing a few of us in our pilot recording!) offers a whistle-stop tour of nuclear fusion and relates that to the world of fusion energy; the big projects, the research strands, other uses of our work and how it’s all going anyway.
Don’t worry if it feels like a rush of headlines just now – we’ll be coming back to everything mentioned and much more as future topics in episodes to cover as many aspects of and ideas in fusion energy and plasma physics as we can think of!
The next 5 start to focus the mind, presenting a series of spotlights on fusion energy research themes. We look in particular at the work of the Fusion Centre for Doctoral Training and our key national lab partners.
These taken together give you the background, the rest are conversations in no particular order about the questions raised in the first few episodes and many more besides!
The Fusion Centre for Doctoral Training (Fusion CDT) is a long term set of PhD programmes to train the next generation of fusion scientists in the UK, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) for which we’re very grateful!
Our office building is called Genesis.
The ITER project, described in a few lines.
JET is located at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE) in Oxfordshire, UK.

Into this glass we poured everything we know about nuclear physics – the processes and demands of nuclear fusion in nature. Barely enough for a meniscus, so we did some reading to top it up. Then we talked about the sun and the destruction of our galaxy. We’re ‘glass half full’ people deep down.
Coulomb force and the strong nuclear force graph – The attractive force between two protons due to the strong nuclear force is only large when they are very close together. Beyond a few femtometers (14 zeros after the decimal point) the strong force is rather weak. The Coulomb force is the attraction/repulsion between two charged objects, for the Sun we are only interested in the repulsion of this force as we are looking at two protons (positively charged) fusing together.
With both of these forces plotted over the distance between our two protons we can see that unless they are very close the Coulomb force will repel them apart. To get close enough to fuse requires collisions with a huge amount of energy, which most protons in the (pretty hot) Sun do not have!
Fusion in the sun – Most particles in the sun don’t have enough energy to overcome the Coulomb energy barrier and fuse, however they can quantum tunnel through this energy barrier and cause a fusion reaction. Without quantum tunneling stars the size of the Sun would not be able to support fusion reactions so you wouldn’t be here reading this!
In 4 billion years the Milky Way will collide with the Andromeda galaxy. We will have to move planets to see this however, as in 3.75 billion years the Sun will have become so hot that the Earth’s surface will no longer support water. So that’s all good then.
Galaxy collision video – From a simulation by NASA.
We stirred into this glass all the extra bits of garnish that make nuclear physics knowledge useful! We get strict about criteria and chat about the bottom line(s) for harnessing the energy. How are we going to boil our seawater? Tea tastes better from a glass anyway I’m told.
Andrew, Bhavin, Charlie, Joe, Phil, Will.
This figure shows the triple product for 3 different fusion reactions, Deuterium with Tritium, itself and Helium-3. The blue DT curve goes lowest, meaning that a DT plasma is the easiest with which to fulfil Lawson’s criterion.
Will may have said 10^20 but obviously he meant 21.

Ok this one’s a tall glass so we’re continuing where we left off – talking about the serious side of working with nuclear things. How we’re going to meet the criteria we were talking, including shortcuts. We close these intros with a number of ‘promising’ tangents to tease future episodes for you!
Tritium is pricey – in fact the most expensive thing per weight in the world – we would need to develop a market for it!
We teased a HUGE issue in energy right now as the Energy Transition gets into gear. We will be coming back to it but to prime you for the coming changes read this take.
Our launch party (coinciding with British Science Week 2018) included this episode recorded in front of a live public audience. We discuss 30 years of fusion progress – the things we’ve learned, the hiccoughs, the tangents and whether ‘why is it 30 years away?’ is a good question. Join the crowd!
While Bhav’s doing yet another cake analogy why not read this review of the materials science challenge posed by fusion and think about applying to the Fusion CDT one day (other materials science doctoral programmes are available)! It’s a huge team effort!
Fusion triple product vs Moore’s law from 1960 to 2005, along with particle accelerator energy. Moore’s law – number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits had doubled every year since their invention. Basically, you know how fast computers got better? Fusion progress is faster than that.
So how far from success? Check out this tweet.
OK, so, bottom line time, what sort of spin offs have we got? This page is part of a big list put together by Eurofusion (sort of a European Space Agency for fusion) and goes into the mobile comms links but there’s a bunch of alternative applications for the knowledge we’ve gained!
Philosophy of space video for anyone else who twitched at Will’s comment!
Nuclear binding energy graph and a good explanation of how it works!
If you want more of Andrew’s science-in-society worldview watch Neil Degrasse Tyson. You wont regret it.
Fusion in the news (NEVER read the headlines about fusion).
Brush up on the Lorentz force on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field.
The original Spitzer paper proposing Stellerators in which he mathematically ‘shows’ that tokamaks must be unstable. Experimentalists 1 – Theorists 0. This round anyway.
Stopping a runaway horse – dont say we’re not doing practical consumer advice.
… & her name is Ksenia Alexandrovna Razumova – a great name. Andrew apologises to Ksenia and the team for letting them down with his inability to remember basic Russian naming convention.
When Andrew says that inside a tokamak is a vacuum – clearly that’s not true while the plasma (fuel) is in there too. It is true, though, that the gas fuel is an order of magnitude less dense than air.
and if you want to get a summary of all these issues, including a comparison to stellerators then this fabulous review paper just came out.
So what is inertia for a start?
Quenching steel. You can find your own videos of swords being made!
The damage done to a lattice can be significant before it (mostly) reforms. This is what we want to model/ measure accurately!
If you like you radiation doses quantified more rigorously than bananas I love this graph… from the banana equivalent dose wiki!
We’ve done some amazing things with superconducting (low temperature, zero resistance) magnets which we’ll be coming back to..
Non-equilibrium plasma makes up nearly all the matter we can see!
Sooo many applications, all relying on synergy (correctly used!) between chemical and physical processes. We already use plasma loads in chip manufacturing, therapeutic uses are being developed fast and we look forward to ever more agricultural and technological applications.
This time Will, Charlie, Kate and new-comer Chris M have gathered to talk about this year’s Nobel Prize Winner: Chirped Pulse Amplification. We break down exactly what this technological breakthrough was and why it was so important. Then we look to the future to consider what might be the next big step in high power laser science.

Didn't really have to deal with cust serv so I guess average. Only complaint is the package showed up a day earlier than I requested.
I was very pleased with selection, pricing & delivery plus the flexibility of the customer service dept. I would recommend you highly.
Love it! Just fix the letter count maximum allowed on the ordering site.
Shipping was the problem in my situation. Very disappointed that gift took so long to get to recipient.

Hon. Speaker the Free State Government has despite our success stories been criticized about our Health services. A culture of overlooking the improvements and successes of the Department of Health seems to be the order of the day. Hon. Members, grant me the opportunity to congratulate MEC Benny Malakoane for the improvements in the department.
The Department of Health has demonstrated sound financial management to address the challenges they experienced in the financial year 2013/2014. The total accruals have been reduced from R1.1 billion at the beginning of the 2014/2015 financial year and is projected to be at R200 million by year end. Of this, the overtime accruals have been reduced from R280 million to R28 million.
This clearly demonstrates that the Free State Department of Health is in fact nowhere near “the verge of collapse” as MEC Malakoane pointed out during the Budget Vote Speech on the 24th March 2015. Under Human Resources, I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the department on their Managerial skills and Job creation. The Free State department of Health has demonstrated that it is also committed to do more with less as advised by our MEC Rockman.
Hon. Members, through an internal budget reprioritization process R100 million is now available for funding of medicine, medical consumables and food for hospitals. 28 Pharmacy assistants were appointed and funding has been secured for an additional 111 critical medical posts.
Yes, Hon. Speaker, it is important to outline not only the challenges of each department, but on continuous bases, communicate the success of each department. I look forward to see the improvements and success stories of the Free State Department of Health. | 2019-04-24T06:34:03 | http://ancfscaucus.org.za/pages/2015_5.html |
This econometric study covers the world outlook for commercial food products machinery across more than 200 countries. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-à-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.
This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the 230 countries of the world). This study gives, however, my estimates for the worldwide latent demand, or the P.I.E., for commercial food products machinery. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided across the world’s regional and national markets. For each country, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time (positive or negative growth). In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on international strategic planning at graduate schools of business. | 2019-04-23T08:02:04 | https://www.marketresearch.com/Icon-Group-International-Inc-v609/Outlook-Commercial-Food-Products-Machinery-9041941/ |
If you have a provisional license, you are probably a newer driver and eager for the freedom a vehicle provides. But what is a provisional license exactly? There are limitations on a provisional license that are not only legally enforced, but part of driver safety. No one can assure you have sufficient practice hours, but a provisional license gives you an opportunity to practice driving.
What is a provisional license exactly?
A provisional license is a license with special conditions. They are also referred to as a provisional instruction permit. And, more casually, they sometimes called a learner's permit. It is only given to people 15 ½ to 18 years old. Even though you can legally drive alone after you are 16 years old, you need to have a provisional driver’s license for six months prior. With a provisional drivers license, you are allowed to drive with a licensed adult 25 years of age or older.
Failure to obey restrictions can result in serious consequences and could include fines, revocation of the provisional license, and suspension of when you can get your license.
How do I get a provisional license?
What do I need for my provisional permit application?
Note that you will need both parents’ signatures on your application. By signing that document they are financially responsible you. You may be able to get the application online, depending on your state. If you have not completed your driver’s training, you will need your driving instructor’s signature.
To prepare for your license, you can take a teen driving course that is easy and will prepare teen drivers to drive safely.

the palette of your wisdom colors every moment of each day.
as mysterious gifts we somehow deserve.
And when the dark pigments of sin intrude, we call out to you, O Lord.
but with the coming of pain, how freely we blame you.
And in our joys how boldly we forget you.
Are we really so free as we think?

The hype track arrives just in time for Miami Music Week.
The name “Pogo” is not, like so many EDM track names, entirely random. A mouth harp created the track’s “spring” sound, which inspired Majestic to come up with the pogo concept in the lyrics, including the shout-out instructions to “bounce.” According to Luke, its “simple chants that stick to the mind and can hype a crowd” that make for a successful track.
“For instance, having a lyric like 'We hit turbulence!' has done very well for me,” he explains, referencing “Turbulence,” his massive 2011 tune with Steve Aoki and Lil’ Jon. A Miami Music Week favorite, Luke’s Mixmash Records Pool Party, on Thursday March 21 at The National, is already sold out. But with early support from DJs like Hardwell, A-Trak, Bingo Players and Congorock, “Pogo” surely will be heard throughout the city. | 2019-04-26T02:17:46 | https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/code/1550513/laidback-luke-pogo-exclusive-song-premiere |
Cinemax is hoping it can strike gold with a comic book adaptation of its own. The network has cast Patrick Fugit as the lead in its upcoming exorcism drama, Outcast, reports Deadline. The series is based on a comic of the same name by the writer of The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman, and will also star Philip Glenister and Gabriel Bateman. Also, for fans of smart horror films, You’re Next director Adam Wingard has been tapped to helm the pilot. | 2019-04-22T17:21:06 | https://decider.com/2014/11/05/patrick-fugit-outcast-cinemax/ |
A RESTRICTED VERSION OF THIS POST IS AVAILABLE TO LOCKSMITHS, SECURITY PROFESSIONALS, RISK MANAGERS, AND CLEARSTAR MEMBERS. THE LINK TO CLEARSTAR IS PROVIDED. IF YOU ARE A SECURITY PROFESSIONAL YOU MAY ALSO CONTACT THE AUTHOR FOR ACCESS AT [email protected], or the webmaster at ClearStar for clearance.
This post is primarily for locksmiths and security managers of facilities that may have installed the KABA Simplex push-button locks. We will be releasing a second article shortly with regard to mechanical upgrades that KABA appears to have implemented to resolve the security issues that are documented in our video. Every facility that has installed these locks should be aware of the vulnerability and assess their risk and their potential damages.
It is likely that millions of Simplex locks (Series 1000, 2000, 3000, 6000, 7000, 9000) have been sold to commercial, government and even residential venues throughout the world and have been an extremely popular push-button lock for at least thirty-five years. Unfortunately, they are, in my opinion, insecure, and demonstrate a critical problem within the lock industry which I have repeatedly addressed and labeled as insecurity engineering.
Our office has produced a detailed video which has been made available to locksmiths and security professionals. It shows the precise security vulnerability of these mechanisms. If you presently utilize these locks, you should view this material to asses your risk, or speak with your local locksmith who is familiar with the locks and their security vulnerability.
Our analysis conclusively demonstrates the vulnerability of locks that were manufactured prior to at least September 19, 2010, and also graphically illustrates what can go wrong when design engineers are not properly trained in bypass techniques, or they fail to use their imagination as to potential methods of entry. While KABA is not the only lock that can be opened with a magnetic field, they are surely the largest target for legal action.
In Locks, Safes, and Security and LSS+, I describe at least fifty methods of bypass, including the use of magnetic fields. Unfortunately most design engineers are clueless with regard to many of these techniques, which mean they are incapable of designing locks that are secure against this and other forms of attack.
This lack of knowledge has and will lead to liability and potentially significant if not catastrophic damages and will likely force some manufacturers out of business. In my view, the KABA lawsuit and what it portends may have a devastating impact on lock manufacturers and the entire industry.
This is the combination chamber for a Simplex 1000 lock manufactured prior to September 19, 2010. A critical component can be moved with a strong magnetic field..
If they do not pay close attention and take steps to insure that their products provide the security which they directly or impliedly represent and which their purchasers rely upon, they will likely find themselves as defendants in similar actions. Any lock manufacturer, foreign of domestic that sells their products within the United States market can be subject to liability.
Be assured that KABA will not be the first to be the target of such litigation. Our office has been investigating several seriously defective or deficient products and will likely be involved in actions in the future for similar design deficiencies that adversely impact security and place consumers at risk.
Several of our legal and consulting clients asked that our law firm set up a testing laboratory to find “real world” vulnerabilities that UL, BHMA, VdS and other standards organizations and their laboratories either do not recognize or are not allowed to test for because of the way the standards are written. As a consequence, in 2009 we set up Security Laboratories to determine the vulnerability to covert and forced entry techniques of both mechanical and electronic locks. We established our lab through my law office to shield our clients from potential discovery of our test results in the event of litigation involving defective products that we may uncover.
As many of you know, I have been an outspoken critic of many lock manufacturers for their lack of competent security engineering skills, especially with regard to high security locks. All of our clients are vitally concerned about making secure products. They want to be certain their locks protect their customers and do not expose either the customer or manufacturer to liability claims, based upon defective or deficient engineering. We have secured several patents to remedy design problems and make the locks that are produced by our clients more secure.
Many of our clients have learned a very painful lesson about lock design: it is far less expensive to find and remedy design deficiencies before a product is released rather than doing it after the fact.
There has been much criticism of the stance I have taken as to my belief that not only should these engineering failures be documented, but the public, locksmiths, and security professionals should be made aware of the vulnerabilities. My rationale is simple: the possession of such knowledge allows them to properly assess and assume (or decline) the risks that may be inherent in utilizing a specific lock or piece of hardware.
In those cases where manufacturers are ignorant of bypass techniques that can render their locks insecure, I believe they may still be held liable. Why? Because ignorance is no excuse, especially if commercial tools, YouTube videos, or lock picking web sites are discussing different techniques to open the locks. One of the first things we do in our lab is to determine if anyone else has figured out how to open locks that are produced by our clients. Often, there is a wealth of information.
My opinion is that any lock manufacturer that ignores such publicly available information is culpable. The problem is that many manufacturers release products, then essentially forget about them and fail to make changes based upon current bypass techniques. If a company represents in its current technical manuals and advertising that a lock is secure, I do not think it matters whether it is a new or old design. I believe this is why KABA will not prevail.
Everyone is aware that we wrote the book about how we cracked the Medeco high security cylinders. Medeco’s response was to implement certain changes to counteract security vulnerabilities that we had discovered and exploited. This is precisely what is required of a manufacturer if they are to avoid liability and costly lawsuits. Other manufacturers, such as we disclosed at DefCon 18 last summer, chose to do nothing, or simply hide from their design defects.
I have always believed that full disclosure is the only viable policy, regardless of the possible consequences, and have so counseled my clients. Every lock manufacturer has, in my view, a special responsibility to its locksmith-dealers and to the end-users. Often, the locksmiths are left “twisting in the wind” by not being apprised of known or suspected security issues by the manufacturer. The lack of such information can adversely impact their customers and create an untenable legal and ethical position for the locksmith.
Perhaps the best example of a lock manufacturer taking responsibility for a deficient product is Schlage and their Kryptonite bike locks. When we made public the ball point pen attack in 2004, Schlage made the decision almost immediately to replace every lock, whether they were liable or not. That conduct should serve as a model to every other lock manufacturer. It cost them a great deal of money, but it was the right course of action and has ultimately paid dividends for them in terms of credibility with their customers.
The same course of action recently occurred in Europe by Uhlmann Zacher when their electronic cylinders were attacked with the magnetic ring that allowed them to be opened in seconds. They immediately shut down their production line, recalled all of the locks, and fixed them at no cost to their customers.
About six years ago, I wrote a detailed two-part article for ALOA Keynotes with regard to locksmith liability issues, after becoming involved in the exposure of the insecurity of master key systems in the New York Times. Little attention was paid to the issue at the time in regard to potential liability. The KABA lawsuit has brought the matter to the fore, and now every locksmith and manufacturer should be paying attention because of the potential liability issues involved.
As a result of the exposure of lock bumping as a serious method of covert entry, the manufacturers have begun to address the problem, as have the standards organizations. I believe that the public benefited from the disclosure and is better off for it.
I am constantly asked “why is a lawyer picking locks?” The answer has always been simple for me to explain: All security is about liability. For many years, I have been cautioning about the nexus between security and liability and defective or insecure products. It would appear that now everyone is beginning to understand the connection. If a product is improperly designed and insecure and results in injury, loss, or other damages then the lock manufacturer will likely be held liable.
For everyone wondering if I am connected with this lawsuit, the answer is no. However, I have met with counsel in New York for the Plaintiffs. As a result, our office is working an independent investigation with regard to certain issues that have been raised in this litigation.
As a lawyer, it is my opinion that KABA is in serious trouble on two fronts. If the case is not dismissed based upon a motion for summary judgment for failure to state a legally actionable claim, then I would bet the case will be settled and will never see a courtroom. My opinion is that KABA will not risk a fifty million dollar verdict for what I perceive as their inept design and potential misrepresentation and false statements by their employees.
KABA, in my view, has not only manufactured and marketed a defective product, I believe they knew it or should have known it for quite some time.
My opinion: this is a lie, or at best a half-truth, and is liable to cost them dearly.
I find this particularly interesting in light of the Motion that KABA filed with regard to where this case should be heard. They stated that the design has been modified as of September 19, 2010, but there is no information to indicate that the problem has in fact been remedied. Further, one would assume that technical support staff would be warning customers to have their locksmith replace the critical parts, which may include the combination chamber and front housing with the upgraded version. Instead, the individuals I spoke with denied any knowledge of any specific vulnerability.
All but one of the dealers I spoke with was comfortable in recommending these locks for use, even in secure environments, boasting that “the military” uses them. Each of the dealers and locksmiths I spoke with were wrong, and could potentially be held liable for making such statements if a customer relied upon them and were subsequently injured.
There are four critical questions that must be answered in relation to the KABA lawsuit: (1) whether the design of the Simplex is defective, (2) if the company misrepresented the security of its product, (3) whether their design engineers, on a continuing basis, should have known or determined whether the lock was subject to a magnetic attack. Even more importantly, (4) did they have prior knowledge of the security vulnerability and failed to correct it and warn their thousands of customers?
A manufacturer is clearly not liable for a state-of-the-art attack which could not or should not have been foreseen when the lock was designed and first manufactured. A sophisticated decoding tool, for example, which requires a great deal of skill, expertise, and introduces new methods of bypass technique would not give rise to a cause of action.
An example is the John Falle shim-wire decoder that was introduced about twenty years ago to open high security pin tumbler locks. This was classified as a state-of-the-art attack and used a wire that was a few thousandths of an inch in diameter, delivered through a syringe-type tool to probe and measure the length of each bottom pin within the lock. It was only available to government agencies for many years. No manufacturer would have been deemed to be liable at the time if their locks were attacked in this manner.
A similar and more current and relevant example would be the picking and bumping techniques that we developed to open Medeco cylinders with code-setting keys. These state-of-the-art techniques would not give rise to liability upon the part of Medeco, because the manufacturer clearly could not have foreseen the attacks that we developed, even though the ultimate result constituted a relatively simple method to open many of their locks.
At the other end of the spectrum are attacks that require little to no skill or training, nor the use of sophisticated tools. To be blunt, these types of attacks are based upon stupid engineering by the manufacturer. The KABA attack, (and hundreds of others that we have documented in LSS+ and DAME), are neither sophisticated nor complicated, and certainly not state-of-the-art. In my view, reasonable design competence in security engineering would dictate that a properly educated engineer would understand the vulnerability and design around it. I think the KABA bypass is a classic example and failure in this regard.
Anyone familiar with magnetic attacks would recognize the threat and never use a ferrous material that could be influenced by a magnetic field for a critical component, as was done by KABA in their combination chamber. Reading their Motion, KABA is evidently claiming that a rare-earth magnet was “not commercially feasible” at the time the lock was developed, and thus constitutes a sophisticated or state-of-the-art attack. They further claim that these magnets, (which can be held in the palm of your hand), are not easily transportable, and may cause bodily injury when used. In addition, they represent that opening the Simplex by a magnetic field may be difficult and not a reliable technique, and may not even result in the lock being opened.
This begs the question, because I believe that a manufacturer has a duty, especially if they are on notice of a technique to bypass the security of their locks (or other locks that may have similar components that control critical functions), to constantly update their current products to prevent or minimize such vulnerability. KABA evidently did neither. I would assume that the concept of magnetism was known to KABA at the time they developed the Simplex lock! Any contention that because rare-earth magnets were not available at the time of the initial design and therefore KABA is not liable is simply nonsense. I would be willing to bet that magnets that could open the locks were available or could have been constructed at the time these locks were first introduced and subsequently.
Locks are security-rated in terms of time, tools, and training and whether specific bypass techniques are reliable and repeatable. We call it the 3T2R rule. They are designed to keep criminals out for a specific period of time and are measured against certain types of attack tools and techniques. Claiming that no liability accrues if a lock is opened with any but the correct key is ludicrous, arrogant, and connotes a total lack of understanding of security. KABA has lumped all locks and their bypass together and has conveniently omitted any mention of standards or the security of their products to resist such attacks.
The magnetic attack on the Simplex fails on all three counts. Claiming that the use of a rare-earth magnet is a sophisticated, unknown, or “not commercially feasible” attack does not, in my view, pass muster either, because the magnets are readily available from several venues today, and have been for some time.
If KABA was correct in its assertion, then why bother spending any money for a more secure lock. Here is my suggested solution for KABA: let them place verbiage on every Simplex that states “Warning: this lock can be opened in two seconds with a strong magnet by an idiot!” How many locks do you think they will sell? The answer is zero!
Many have asked if locksmiths that have sold these products can be held liable. The answer is not simple and depends upon whether the locksmith was aware of the defect and failed to warn their customers. However, before talking about the KABA Simplex case, there is a threshold issue that must be addressed, and that involves the locksmith holding himself or herself out as a security expert.
However, if you hold yourself out as an expert in security, recommend a specific lock as secure (either directly or by implication), and as a result the customer relies upon your representations and subsequently suffer a loss, you may be deemed liable.
Once you represent, either directly or by implication, that you have expertise in physical security and that your customers should rely upon your advice, then I believe you also have a duty to be aware of current methods of bypass for the locks you sell. You have a commensurate duty to warn your customers of such issues before they purchase the lock, or, for a reasonable period of time subsequent to the purchase and installation of such products. It is the ethical thing to do, will foster good customer relations, and should shield you from any liability.
The answer is simple: advise every customer of the specific problem, so they and not you make the risk assessment and the determination as whether the locks should be replaced or upgraded. In my view, you should stop selling the locks until they are fixed and the manufacturer repairs or replaces every one of them that is in service. You should also demand that KABA upgrade all locks and compensate you for any expense incurred in connection with servicing your customers. If KABA is unwilling or unable to fix their locks, then you should require them to refund the purchase price of your entire inventory.
The obvious question as to the time period for which KABA could be liable is unclear. Locks that were sold several years ago may not be covered in this lawsuit unless it can be proved that KABA was aware of the problem and failed to warn their customers. If KABA does the right thing, they will replace or upgrade every lock that is at risk, just like Schlage did with the Kryptonite.
The KABA Simplex lock was evidently rated as Grade 1 security level by ANSI/BHMA at one time (156.20). Unfortunately, these standards, in my view, are woefully deficient in what they cover. They do not adequately protect the consumer. I have been meeting with BHMA for the past two years in an effort to get them to revise ANSI/BHMA 156.5 and 156.30 (the commercial and high security standards) so that they actually test for “real world’ bypass techniques. The KABA case is typical and demonstrates the total failure of standards to determine or measure real security in locks.
In September, 2010, our office filed a very detailed complaint to BHMA, seeking to challenge the certification of the Kwikset Smartkey lock as non-compliant with the standards. This lock, also rated as Grade 1 security, as many of you know can be opened in fifteen seconds with little more than a small screwdriver. I think it is junk security, and I have publicly said so on many occasions. Just about every locksmith in the country knows the Kwikset story. Now, KABA Simplex can be placed in the same class with regard to security, or perhaps it is even worse and more insecure, (at least until secure upgrades are in place to prevent the magnetic attack). At least the Kwikset Smartkey is bump and pick resistant and is not affected by a magnetic field!
In my view, the consumer should not rely upon either the standards or the results that are certified by these testing labs with regard to methods of covert and forced entry until the standards are written in such a way as to specify real-world attacks. Testing labs should understand that they may share in liability for defective or deficient products which they certify as compliant and which are not.
On January 24, 2010 I met with BHMA to discuss the current situation with regard to the standards and why they should be upgraded. I suggested that an expedited procedure be adopted by BHMA to address security issues such as KABA, Kwikset and other companies, where locks are certified as compliant with Grade 1 standards but are clearly not secure. I was assured that the issue is now being considered in an effort to further protect the public.
I suspect that the KABA lawsuit will be the first of many to be filed and will set a new standard for security engineering within the industry. Any manufacturer, large or small, that fails to grasp the nexus between liability and security engineering will be subject to potentially lethal lawsuits which ultimately may force them out of business.
While most engineers are competent to make mechanical locks function properly, few understand how to circumvent their security. The premise is simple: you cannot design secure locks unless you understand the methods to break them. Most manufacturers only have a cursory familiarity with the latter.
As a manufacturer you may claim that you rely upon the standards and are compliant with them. Such an argument may not shield you from liability, however. If your lock can be opened in fifteen seconds by a kid, I think you will be deemed to be liable. More importantly, if members of a jury can open your locks in seconds, it is over! End of story.
If you are on notice of a significant vulnerability and fail to act upon it, both in terms of design changes and notification to critical customers, you may suffer the consequences. That means that if there are tools on the market to open your locks, or verifiable accurate YouTube or web videos that illustrate how to break them, then you have a problem. I can assure you that the legal community will take note, and where appropriate, pursue such design issues in expensive lawsuits.
KABA has stated that modifications were completed on or about September 19, 2010 in order to minimize the security vulnerability to the Simplex. However, this does not mean that locks which were purchased after that date are in fact secure. This is because old stock may still be sold by dealers. You should determine whether any locks that were purchased after that date have been modified to thwart the threat from strong magnetic fields. | 2019-04-19T07:01:09 | https://www.security.org/insecurity-engineering-and-the-kaba-simplex-class-action-lawsuit-locks-lies-and-liability/ |

Listen to an excerpt from The Infinity Concerto by Greg Bear.
Music, myth, and magic mix in this tale of a melody not meant for human ears, from the New York Times–bestselling and award-winning author of Darwin’s Radio.
Michael Perrin is an aspiring poet, struggling to express the chaotic cadences of his thoughts on paper. He finds a kindred spirit in Arno Waltiri, the film score composer behind several of Michael’s favorite classic movies. The maestro’s greatest piece, however, was performed in front of a live audience only once. The concerto Opus 45, Infinity left its listeners entranced, altered to the very core of their souls.
Waltiri’s composition is a song of power. Never meant to be heard by human ears, its melody is as captivating as a siren’s call; its notes ring out like a death knell; and its rhythms shake the very foundations of reality.
The music’s otherworldly tones have led Michael through the gate between Earth and the Realm of the Sidhedark, where faeries reign by rule of magic—and where Michael must find his muse if he’s ever to return home.
The Infinity Concerto is a fantasy masterpiece by the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of the Forerunner Saga, Eon, and other imaginative classics.
Read by Chip Michael of the cast of Sage and Savant.

The Abbotsford Convent is located just above the banks of the excitable brown river that pulses alongside the Collingwood Children’s Farm, a few kilometres from the city of Melbourne. The Wurundjeri people, who lived in the area prior to white settlement, called the river Birrarung or River of Mists. Once a month, market-goers flip a two-dollar coin donation into a bucket so their children can ogle exotic fur-footed chickens, haggle with geese, pat pigs the size of bicycles and stumble into pails full of the thorniest roses this side of a country and western song. A bike path zippers the farm to the rejuvenated convent beyond and elderly women in black tops and skirts can occasionally be seen tugging at the weeds that grow along its fence, urging the scent of licorice into the river-laden air.
As a child attending a Catholic primary school in the western suburbs of Sydney my only exposure to poetry arrived via pop music and fiction. I don’t think I even knew there was such a thing as poetry but the words to California Girls and WonkaVite were never far from my lips. In fact, the six lines that begin ‘Those rolls of fat around your hips’ remain the only bits of verse I have ever committed to memory. This commitment to never straying far from the grid remained throughout my twenties where, as an undergraduate, the only poems I allowed myself to read came from The Norton Anthology.
One of the best things about talking to people in real life is that they will sometimes say things that can affect you in unpredictable ways. Comments deemed disposable on Twitter or Facebook turn out to have an almost spooky resonance when delivered in person. Conversely, the unexpected turn can take on the hue of the foreseen as Sydney poet Toby Fitch discovered at the launch of Vagabond’s new triptych of ‘rare objects’ chapbooks by John Tranter, Kate Lilley and a. j. carruthers.
In an English translation of a French transcription of a lecture delivered in 1973, Jacques Lacan proposes his ground-changing formulation: ‘Mathematization alone reaches a real’. For Lacan, what this means is that what we thought was fantasy and what we thought was knowledge are now entwined.
Justin Clemens, in case you are wondering, is an academic, secretary of the Lacan Circle of Melbourne, and recently has published a book titled Psychoanalysis is an Antiphilosophy. Now that’s what I call an allusion.
Clemens is also a poet, and name-dropping has been ‘a thing’ in poetry ever since – and no doubt long before – Aurelius and Furius first dissed Catullus. Conversely, we’re all familiar with Pound’s advice to Eliot to replace the citation from the work of one of his contemporaries with a less-threatening classical reference. Elsewhere, poets work their poems so that they ‘tolerate a state of namelessness’, in the sense meant by Derrida. In “Unreading Kinsella: Dropping names and Revolutions of the Word in Syzygy,” Michael Brennan views the language of Kinsella’s text, with its resistance to simulation through the use of ‘enjambment, echolalia, coinings, parenthesizing and cacology’ (169), as that which unsettles, unnerves, even ‘unreads’ the reader (174). | 2019-04-22T20:52:23 | https://jacket2.org/commentary/fiona-hile |

The aim of this research is twofold: to analyze the mean differences scores in mathematic self‐attributions based on school refusal and to verify its predictive capability on high scores in school refusal. The Sydney Attribution Scale and the School Refusal Assessment Scale‐Revised were administered to 1078 Spanish students (50.8% boys) aged between 8 and 11 years (M = 9.63; SD = 1.12). School refusers based on negative affect or anxiety attributed their failures more to the lack of capacity and effort, whereas students searching for tangible reinforcements outside of the school were more likely to attribute their successes to capacity. In turn, academic attributions acted as both positive and negative predictors of high‐school refusal. Results are discussed considering more adaptive attributional styles.

The earth is fixed and immovable and lies at the center of all things. The sun moves about the earth, not the other way around. Use of the phrase "solar system" should therefore be avoided in favor of the more accurate "geosystem."
The sky is the roof over the earth — a solid impervious barrier that protects both believers and non-believers from the waters beyond. The term "outer space" is a notion perpetrated by secular humanists, new age gurus, and other freethinkers.
The stars on the sky are much smaller than the earth. (The word "on" is not a typographical error here.) The notion of "distant suns" is nothing more than a theory entertained by misguided scientists.
You'd think Ralph Reed and Jerry Falwell would be up in arms over these facts. Massive government bureaucracies send spacecraft to distant planets. The liberal media are awash in images of a spherical earth. (The Universal Studios logo is a globe!) Children in public schools are taught from Kindergarten that the earth revolves around the sun. With the exceptions of the persistent use of the terms "sunrise" and "sunset," our modern world is flooded with images of heretical cosmologies that remove the earth from its God-given place at the center of all things. Only an atheist would buy the notion that we live on a tiny rock, circling an insignificant star in a galaxy of billions of stars in a universe of billions of galaxies. Why would God place his most holy of all creations in such location? Surely, no true believer in the Scriptures — the divine and unerring word of God — would accept the scientific notion that we live in place that is not special in the eyes of our Creator. I find it quite reasonable to insist on a Constitutional amendment requiring all Supreme Court justices to swear their allegiance to geocentrism and flat-earthism. Our souls and the souls of our children lie in their hands.
A translation of this article into Hebrew (without the New Testament references) is also available through Hofesh — an organization that combats Orthodox Jewish religious coercion in Israel.
So why would I do this? What got me started on the road to endless arguments? I work as a teacher in the New York City public school system. From time to time, I'm asked quite poignant and perceptive questions.
Where, indeed? I remember learning that the earth was created in six days in Sunday school, but I don't remember anybody teaching geocentrism. And yet five hundred years ago, that would have been the case. If not in religion class, then in secular classes taught by church-sanctified masters, Europeans were learning that the earth was the center of all things and that the sun, moon, and planets revolved around it. Prior to that, they might have even learned that the earth was flat and that the sky was a solid covering that protected the earth from the waters beyond. Of course, they also learned reasonably useful things like literacy, numeracy, geography, and history. We have no problem accepting that these subjects were full of what we now recognize as errors and limitations, but when it comes to biology, the beliefs of two to four thousand years ago are accepted by some as fact. The earth and all that is on it, including all living things, were created in the literal span of six terrestrial days (today, roughly 24 hours).
O.K. If you want to play that game, then let's go. If you want to use millennia old Scripture to support your half-baked scientific notions then I can do the same with mine (which you must remember, I don't really believe in). What does the Bible actually say about the nature of cosmology? Let's open the Good Book and read it with the same uncritical eye as that of the anti-evolutionists. Let the Scriptures speak for themselves.
Then spoke Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the men of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, "Sun, stand thou still at Gibeon, and thou Moon in the valley of Aijalon." And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.
Say among the nations, "The Lord reigns! Yea, the world is established, it shall never be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity."
In addition, the notion of an earth with a "foundation" is quite common. This leads one to conclude that the earth is quite stable.
The firmness of the earth's foundation is open to some discussion, however. Earthquakes may or may not be allowed.
The earth's geo-architecture is also uncertain. Compare the following passages.
In any case, the earth is not spherical. According to the Scriptures, from a very high spot (heaven, for example) one could see the entire earth such that nothing would be hidden. Such a thing is not possible with a spherical earth as the opposite side can't be seen directly. This implies that the earth is flat.
From a great distance, a sphere would look like a circle. Perhaps the phrase "circle of the earth" refers to the outline of the earth? Perhaps. But then how could one see "all the kingdoms of the world? Those on the back hemisphere would remain hidden. The next passages should remove this confusion.
If the earth were spherical, one would use a verb other than "spread out" to describe its creation (balled up, gathered up, gathered together, anything but spread out). One might say they "spread out" batter to make pancakes but no one would ever say they "spread out" hamburger to make meatballs. The earth in the Bible was "spread out" because it is flat.
The highlighted portion reads like a description of the earth as seen from outer space. The remainder is entirely obscure, however. What void are they talking about? What does it mean to "stretch out the north"? Help me somebody.
The phrase "the midst of the earth" from Daniel implies that not only does the earth have a boundary it also has a center. Since trees grow only on the earth's surface, the earth's center must also be on its surface. A sphere has its center beneath its surface which means that the earth is not a sphere but some sort of plane geometric figure. This raises another question. What is the shape of the earth's boundary? The answer is somewhat puzzling.
"And you, O son of man, thus says the Lord God to the land of Israel: An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.
Saint Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians spells it out more clearly — the sun and the stars are different.
And when the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, "Men of Ephesus, what man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Artemis, and of the sacred stone that fell from the sky?
Today we call these stones meteorites. Note how the contemporary connection between meteorites and shooting stars is not made. The Bible's authors appear not to care about its use as a scientific reference by future generations.
And God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." And God made the firmament and separated the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so.
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventh day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth and the windows of the heavens were opened.
The waters beneath the earth are far stranger. I can't say that I've ever seen them, but the Israelites must have. They were prohibited from worshiping graven images of the creatures that inhabited this subterranean sea. It wouldn't make sense to prohibit the worship of creatures that don't exist so therefore they must exist.
Newton's great triumph was the unification of the terrestrial gravitation described by Galileo with the celestial gravitation described by Kepler. Much as a falling apple accelerates downward in free fall, so too does the moon accelerate radially in its orbit. Each body obeys the same law of universal gravitation. Had Newton read his Bible literally he would have seen the impossibility and insolence of his actions.
Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth." And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. And the Lord said, "Behold they are one people, and they have one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
The heavens are the Lord's heavens, but the earth is given to the sons of men.
The Bible cannot help us to understand astronomy. It disagrees with centuries of observation so dramatically that it fails at even the most elementary level. Telescopic observation is five hundred years old and portions of the Bible predate that by another couple thousand years (more or less). The cosmology of the Bible is the cosmology of the Prophets. On this account and at this time it is useless.
I'm sure one could repeat this exercise with other topics. What does the Bible say about geology? chemistry? atoms? bacteria? internal organs? disease? My assumption is that it would fail over and over again; that it would disagree so strongly with our current understanding that teaching from it would be beyond preposterous. And yet, here we are in a supposedly enlightened age debating the application of Scripture to the study of biology. Why have these people not put the same zeal into reforming the astronomy curriculum? How many verses have I cited above? Are they not collectively longer than the first chapter of Genesis? How many of God's words have to be strung together before their mass exceeds the sum total of the scientific knowledge on a subject? What more "proof" is needed? The earth is flat!
The shocking truth of it all is that the pseudoscientific, anti-evolutionary forces have compartmentalized their literalism. There is a deafening silence among the aforementioned ranks when it comes to scientific theories other than the origin and evolution of life on earth. Astronomy and the Bible: Questions & Answers (Baker Book House) is probably the only work to address the problem of the Bible's flat-earth, geocentric bias. The book reads like an Internet FAQ and is hodgepodge of elementary astronomy, Scripture, and wild speculation. I think it illustrates nicely, the doublethink needed to believe in the Bible as literal truth.
"Was the fourth day of creation twenty-four hours long?"
"Did Bible writers believe the earth was flat?"
The message here is, I think, obvious. The Bible is the literal truth only when it's convenient and doesn't conflict with overwhelming evidence. In my view, this invalidates the core of the anti-evolutionary movement in its entirety. If the Bible is open to interpretation from time to time, then it is open to interpretation at any time. If the Bible is occasionally poetic, then it is possibly poetic at any time — even on the first page, even on the last page, even on every page.

This paper originally started out as a historical treatment of the progression from geocentrism to heliocentrism. Somewhere along the way I was sidetracked while wading through the Bible looking for relevant verses to hang Galileo. Along the way, I accumulated a wealth of links on related topics that I just can't seem to throw out.

"Today, almost half a century after the publication of the encyclical, new knowledge has led to the recognition of the theory of evolution as more than a hypothesis. It is indeed remarkable that this theory has been progressively accepted by researchers, following a series of discoveries in various fields of knowledge. The convergence, neither sought nor fabricated, of the results of work that was conducted independently is in itself a significant argument in favor of this theory."
Essential Questions — Christianity and Lutheranism. Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).
"The New Testament is the first-hand proclamation of those who lived through the events of Jesus' life, death, and Resurrection. As such, it is the authority for Christian faith and practice. The Bible is thus not a definitive record of history or science. Rather, it is the record of the drama of God's saving care for creation throughout the course of history.... Lutherans believe that God is Creator of the universe. Its dimensions of space and time are not something God made once and then left alone. God is, rather, continually creating, calling into being each moment of each day."
Creationism. Assemblies of God (AOG).
"Assemblies of God believers hold that the Genesis account should be taken literally. Admittedly, there is progression in God’s creative work. But each step was concluded: 'And there was evening, and there was morning.' This points to a specific measurement of time. The most natural reading of the creation account therefore is to place it in parallel with a 7-day week. By doing so, the burden of determining time frames and development for various components of creation is avoided. Furthermore such a literal view of God’s creation process requires no more faith than theories of science–that our world evolved to its current state by the accidental collision of molecules."
"While some think that the account of human creation is merely parabolic and not to be taken literally, Genesis pointedly declares God formed Adam from the dust of the earth and breathed into him the breath of life (2:7). Subsequently, God deliberately made Eve from Adam's rib [perhaps "side"] (2:22). Both Adam and Eve, male and female, are declared to be made in the "image" and "likeness" of God. These carefully delineated creative acts indicate that humans are distinct from animals. God did not form Adam from some previously existing creature (1 Corinthians 15:39). Any evolutionary theory, including theistic evolution/evolutionary creationism, that claims all forms of life arose from a common ancestry is thereby ruled out."
We Believe, Teach, and Confess. Evangelical Lutheran Synod (ELS).
"We confess that the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments, in their original form as written by the prophets, apostles, and evangelists, were given by inspiration of God. The Holy Scriptures are without error in everything they teach, including matters of geography, science, and history, and they are the only infallible rule and norm of Christian doctrine and practice.... We confess that God created all things in six days by the power of His Word, exactly as is set forth in Genesis chapters 1 and 2 and elsewhere in Scripture. We therefore reject the theories of 'evolution,' including 'theistic evolution,"' not only because they lack a sound basis in scientific evidence but especially because they contradict the divinely-inspired account of creation as given by Moses in the Old Testament and confirmed by Christ in the New. To attempt to describe each day of creation as a very long period of time (a 'day-age,' etc. ) is to tamper with the clear Word of God, for the first chapter of Genesis records at the end of the account of each day's creation activity that 'evening and morning were the (first, second, etc.) day.'"
Westminster Confession of Faith. Free Presbyterian Church.
"It pleased God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, for the manifestation of the glory of His eternal power, wisdom, and goodness, in the beginning, to create, or make of nothing, the world, and all things therein whether visible or invisible, in the space of six days; and all very good."
Of Creation. Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS).
"We teach that God has created heaven and earth, and that in the manner and in the space of time recorded in the Holy Scriptures, especially Gen. 1 and 2, namely, by His almighty creative word, and in six days. We reject every doctrine which denies or limits the work of creation as taught in Scripture. In our days it is denied or limited by those who assert, ostensibly in deference to science, that the world came into existence through a process of evolution; that is, that it has, in immense periods of time, developed more or less of itself. Since no man was present when it pleased God to create the world, we must look for a reliable account of creation to God's own record, found in God's own book, the Bible. We accept God's own record with full confidence and confess with Luther's Catechism: 'I believe that God has made me and all creatures.'"
God is Creator of all things, and has revealed in Scripture the authentic account of His creative activity. In six days the Lord made "the heaven and the earth" and all living things upon the earth, and rested on the seventh day of that first week.
What We Believe. Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS).
"The Bible and Lutherans teach that the Bible is the true word of God. It is inspired by the Holy Spirit. This means that God breathed into the writers the exact thoughts and words they were to write. As a result every statement in the Bible is the truth. One part of the Bible explains another part. It is the only guideline for the faith and life of Christians. We are to read and study it diligently. It clearly teaches all we need to know in order to obtain our eternal salvation.... The Bible and Lutherans teach that at the beginning of time God created heaven and earth and all creatures. He did this in six days. He spoke his almighty word to create all things. He made everything out of nothing. But man and woman are God's special creation." | 2019-04-23T08:41:07 | https://hypertextbook.com/eworld/geocentric/ |

HARRY KANE reportedly wants to be Real Madrid’s new number nine.
The Tottenham superstar became the leading scorer in the 2017 calendar year after scoring a hat-trick against Southampton on Boxing Day, ending the dominance of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
And his scintillating form has increased speculation the Englishman could quit Spurs for a big-money move to the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez reportedly considers Kane as the perfect replacement for Karim Benzema.
However, according to Spanish news outlet Don Balon, the only way Kane will join Los Blancos is if he is the new number nine meaning Benzema will have to leave.
So if Kane were to join Real Madrid, how could Zinedine Zidane’s side look with the striker?
Take a look through the gallery above to see our predicted Real Madrid team with Harry Kane! | 2019-04-24T14:01:55 | https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/896987/Real-Madrid-news-Harry-Kane-transfer-Real-Madrid-line-up-sportgalleries |
Do it yourself maintenance is something that FRPM considers pretty important. It helps reduce costs for owners, solves the issue for tenants faster and allows the property manager to get more accomplished. FRPM has a variety of maintenance FAQ’s listed on their website to help guide the tenants through a step by step process that in hope will resolve the issue. When a resident calls in for a maintenance request we have them go through trouble shooting steps as an attempt to remedy the problem which in return cuts down on unnecessary trips made by vendors.
While it is important to try to have resident address some of their maintenance problems themselves, it is important to decipher which things tenants can do and which things we will want to send someone out for to avoid liability.
• Spraying for wasps nest if they are in a high area and or if tenant is allergic to bees/spiders/ any pests we just prefer to have treated by a professional and avoid the risk.
The biggest thing to keep in mind is safety first. Yes it would be great to have tenants take care of simple things but sometimes those can lead to further problems or can cause a safety concern for the tenant. | 2019-04-21T12:39:27 | https://boise-rentals.com/do-it-yourself-maintenance |

Hello, so I can’t figure out how to keep from getting emails every time someone posts on a thread to which I’ve also posted. When I open up the email in google, there are two places at the bottom where I can opt out of emails from the thread or all emails, but neither work—whether I open with Safari or Google Chrome, I get the attached error. Any help/advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Shot in the dark here... Under Your Account, there is Alert Preferences. Maybe toggle off 'threads I am following' ? | 2019-04-19T17:02:07 | http://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?threads/disabling-email-alerts.24792/ |
Bread crust is a deadly bait, in particular for winter chub, when all of those small fish are less active and so less likely to pick the crust to pieces!
Great little post this! Perfect for the winter chub angler, I love the bakers and supermarket bread comparison, hopefully it will keep a lot more angler fishing with the same bait for longer. | 2019-04-26T08:33:59 | https://theriverangler.com/barbel-fishing-blog/using-bread-crust/ |
Can an average woman with a physically fit body compete with a gorgeous woman with an amazing body for the same men?
So if both have an amazing personality, you're gonna pick the more gorgeous woman?
I should have fleshed out my opinion a little better.
Yes. Sometimes men equate gorgeous with high maintenance (although that isn't always true). There are a lot of attractive women out there however, attitude goes a long way. I'll take a cool 6 or 7 who is in good shape over a 10 in good shape with a crappy attitude any day. That being said I have met some pretty girls who were actually pretty cool, down to earth and somewhat low maintenance, while I have met some girls who aren't that pretty who wanted the world on a silver platter and the moon on a gold one. The only way to find out what you're getting is to engage your woman of choice.
Yes. Looks are one factor, amongst many. IMO, looks matter more the less two people know each other as looks are (for the most part) readily apparent and it takes time to learn about a other qualities (personality, work ethic, career, etc.).
Every girl has tons of options. It's the nature of the dating world.
HOWEVER, a beautiful woman gets hit on constantly...so she probably has more options. | 2019-04-23T16:55:54 | http://www.city-data.com/forum/relationships/1757472-does-average-looking-woman-have-just.html |

I only made a half batch as I was not sure what to expect. They are a tad bland. If I were to make them again, I’d definitely have to add a bit more spices to jazz them up.
Added extra seasoning and cooked longer. Also added sesame seeds. Fantastic with a vegie dip on top.
Its ok. I find it too boring so to second batch lve added chilli flakes and fennel. It looks nothing like on a picture. Has no raising agent so it can burn easy. Not that crispy.
Great simple recipe. I pressed the dough out fairly thin because I wanted to be sure they were crisp like crackers. I also sprinkled the top with sesame seeds as I pressed it out. | 2019-04-24T19:46:38 | https://www.yummly.com/recipe/Flax-Crackers-637107 |

As we have written before, trademark law differs from patent and copyright law in one basic way: its purpose is not to protect creativity, but to protect the right of a merchant or company to identify goods as its own, and to protect consumers from confusion and deception that one company’s goods are another’s. Not all uses by a third party of a brand owner’s trademark are forbidden – only those that create a likelihood of confusion among consumers. Very simple – no confusion, no infringement.
What kind of confusion? Courts have recognized several kinds. The most basic is confusion as to who manufactures a product – a “Brand X” product is recognized as made by the company that owns the “Brand X” mark.
But another form of confusion is confusion as to association or sponsorship. A store or other retail outlet cannot use another’s trademark in a way that confuses or misleads consumers into believing the store is an authorized dealer, for example, or that its services (for example repair services on the product) are authorized by the brand owner.
On the other hand, if the product truly emanates from the brand owner, then anyone is free to sell it, and is free to advertise the fact that it is selling Brand X product.
Anyone may sell genuine goods that bear a trademark. There is no requirement in U.S. law that the seller be authorized by the brand owner – even if the sales are not “authorized” they are perfectly legal.
The seller may truthfully advertise that it sells authentic product of that brand, and use the brand’s trademarks to inform the public of such. If a store truly sells, say, genuine Gucci, Fendi, and Prada items, it may say so in advertising.
On the other hand, the seller may not use the marks (or other symbols) to falsely imply it is an authorized dealer of the brand.
Nor may the seller falsely imply that its services related to the product are authorized. Thus a seller may say, for example, “we provide our own warranty on the product,” but not “covered by the manufacturer’s warranty” if that is not so.
As always, in trademark law consumer perception is paramount: what do consumers think when they see the seller using the mark? In the Chanel case against WGACA, if consumers merely think that WGACA sells Chanel product, Chanel will lose. If they think WGACA is an authorized Chanel dealer or its services are authorized, Chanel will prevail.
Although the website offers other brands (Bottega Venata, Celine, Christian Dior, Fendi, Gucci, Hermes, and Louis Vuitton) the “greatest number” of products are Chanel.
Visitors to the site are never advised that WGACA is not affiliated with Chanel.
The WGACA home page features a sale of CHANEL-branded handbags, accessories, apparel, and jewelry displaying Chanel’s famous CC Monogram trademark and Chanel’s iconic handbags.
The WGACA website makes “repeated and unnecessary use of Chanel’s famous trademarks, by including in the visual look and feel of the website CHANEL-branded designs that are not offered for sale by WGACA and by posting images and content exclusively associated with Chanel.
Some of these complaints strike us as weak sauce – if Chanel is WGACA’s largest selling item, it is entitled to show that on its website. But “excessive use” of Chanel’s trademarks and imagery – including of Chanel products WGACA in fact does not offer – might well suggest an association with Chanel.
Some of WGACA’s Instagram pages include photographs of models and influencers wearing or carrying CHANEL handbags that clearly display Chanel’s famous CC Monogram and photographs of Chanel’s iconic handbags.
WGACA refers to secondhand Chanel products as “our #WGACACHANEL” or with the designation “#WGACACHANEL”.
Some of WGACA’s Instagram pages feature photographs from previous Chanel advertising campaigns, including those featuring famous models hired by Chanel.
The complaint adds several other examples of use of Chanel trademarks, photos of Chanel products with and without models, and various banners and hashtags incorporating the term Chanel.
WGACA clearly has made a major push to drum up excitement about its Chanel offerings using social media tools. But that is legitimate – as we discussed, it is entitled to advertise that it offers (genuine) Chanel products. The question is whether consumers reviewing these social media posts take away a further message: that WGACA is associated or sponsored by Chanel.
In the traditional bricks and mortar world, prominent display of a brand logo in a store is often thought to imply some kind of sponsorship or authorized dealer status. How that carries over to the world of social media seems to be a new issue in trademark law. The Chanel case thus seems to be treading new ground.
WGACA provides all customers with a letter of authenticity guaranteeing that the particular product is authentic. Chanel complains that (1) the letter fails to advise that the authenticators are not trained by nor affiliated with Chanel in any way, nor that Chanel itself has not authenticated the item; and (2) on two occasions, WGACA has sold a counterfeit item (WGACA denies this); and (3) the letter was used to authenticate a Chanel tissue box, but Chanel does not sell these items separately.
This “letter of authenticity” strikes us as rather contrived – it does not state what the basis is of the “confirmation” nor even what exactly that means. Is this a money back guarantee? The certification of an expert?
Still, whatever it means exactly (if anything), it is difficult to imagine that a consumer would believe this is a guarantee or certification by Chanel, rather than by WGACA. Again, WGACA is entitled to offer its own guarantee (or warranty) on its items, and it is hard to see what it could do differently to provide the same guarantee or certification without supposedly implying a connection to Chanel.
The Chanel case presents a traditional problem area in trademark law: how far can an unauthorized dealer in authentic branded goods go in using the brand’s trademarks to promote the branded products. While the basic legal principles have long been set, it remains to be decided how those are applied in the digital world. The Chanel case may well provide some guidelines for online merchants and brand owners on this topic. | 2019-04-20T10:19:20 | https://www.springutlaw.com/blog/2018/4/18/chanel-suit-when-can-another-use-chanels-brand |

Experimental targeting system developed by Razor that could allow the user to see wire-frame images through barriers of other physical obstacles.

When I first heard of the Kid-O-Bunk, the portable kids bunk bed system by Disc-O-Bed, I was taken back to childhood camping trips, and thought this would have made them even better. Check out this review of Kid-O-Bunk to find out why I am excited about my next camping trip.
I am sure many of us had camp beds as kids. If yours were like mine, then they would have been difficult to put together, unstable if you sat on the edges, not great for ground sheets and not very space efficient.
On the plus side, traditional camp beds are comfortable, easy to transport and store and get you up off the ground away from cold and damp. Plus my little sisters favourite thing about them was it kept her away from crawling things, although it didn’t stop me putting slugs in her sleeping bag.
In coming up with Kid-O-Bunk, their portable kids bunk bed system, Disc-O-Bed have looked at all the traditional plus points of camp beds, and thought about how they can address the negatives. I am pleased they have, and that they asked me to conduct a review of Kid-O-Bunk.
When I first heard the name Disc-O-Bed, I have to admit I was mildly disappointed to find it was not a bed you could take to a disco, or a disco system for a bed. I can’t see how I would have any use for either, but both ideas had me strangely excited.
Instead of bed partying (or party beds) the name comes from the big patented disks that are used to attached the mattress part of their beds to the frame. It’s an innovative idea that is practical, secure and easy to use. It also makes the bed much more stable than traditional cmp beds.
The disks are also used to turn the individual beds into a portable kids bunk bed. An adapter pushes into the base of one beds legs, which clips into the other beds disk. By using a simple strap the two beds are attached together for additional support.
Disc-O-Bed are a German-South African family company, with offices based in Germany, South Africa and USA, and have been around since 1988. They work closely with the Red Cross and Red Crescent their beds have been used in disaster relief, and in refugee camps all over the world.
I was planning to take the kids camping to test Kid-O-Bunk, but winter arrived sooner than the camp beds – refugee beds obviously take priority over press reviews. Being wet, windy and cold my wife was adamant we were not going camping.
So I conducted this review of Kid-O-Bunk at home. It was a good job I did, as my kids loved it so much it would have been a nightmare getting them to sleep in them that night.
I should add my boys are two and four so a little too young to be using Kid-O-Bunk properly as it’s recommended for seven to twelve year olds. For safety the manual says no children under six should be left unattended on the top bunk.
My kids sleep on full size bunk beds anyway so our four year old was on the top Kid-O-Bed bunk before I could say ‘be careful’. They’ve both slept on traditional camp beds in the past, so I was not worried about them using them as single beds. But the level of excitement Kid-O-Bunk generated meant it would not be that first night.
Using the disc system to erect this portable kids bunk bed was quick and easy. Even as a first timer I did not have to look at the instructions, although I did to ensure I was doing everything correct and safely.
Converting the single beds to bunks was also easy, although one of the connecting legs was stiffer than the others to fit, but I am sure this will loosen with use and WD40. Once up and secured with the straps they make a sturdy set of bunk beds – not a climbing frame as I kept telling the kids.
A nice little touch is that each bed comes with a side organiser. There are plenty of pockets and pouches for water, torch, book and much more. The boys filled them with dinosaurs!
As an added bonus the bunk beds also convert into a sofa, giving kids somewhere comfortable to sit. I can see this being very useful when camping, or for use in the garden and even in the house when we have lot of guests.
The Kid-O-Bunk comes with useful bags, for carrying and storage. Each part of the bed is secured within it’s own spot in the bag, making it a compact storage solution. The bag is slightly padded so if you bump something while moving it nothing gets damaged.
The only negative is they are pretty heavy. At 18kg for a pair you will not want to be camping too far from the car. However the weight is also reassuring, it is why they are stable, comfortable and suitable for long term sleeping rather than just a night.
Overall the beds are far more stable than traditional camp beds, you can sit in the edge with no tipping. You can also store more underneath as there are not multiple legs in the way. They were also far easier to erect and save space with the bunk option. | 2019-04-25T16:32:49 | https://awe365.com/review-of-kid-o-bunk-portable-kids-bunk-bed/ |

Herbert Demel is the Sao Paolo-based president of VW Brazil and former head of Audi. Good people skills have helped his career. His knack for understanding comes from his family's background in psychology and psychiatry.
President of Audi AG. I also held several other senior positions at Audi, including vice president of research and development, and director of drivetrain development.
Robert Bosch, developing antilock brakes, traction control and transmission systems.
German, English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
I come from a typical Viennese family of psychologists and psychiatrists. But I had a childhood wish to become a racing driver, and became interested in engineering as a result. Those two influences - psychology and technology - helped me to achieve a lot. The psychology aspect helped me work with and understand people.
An Audi A6 and A8 - both quattros - and a VW Santana.
To guide, lead and motivate people.
Until now I have only left successful products behind me.
With my family. I live in Sao Paolo. I swim and walk the dog. I play tennis, golf and sometimes I fish.
I like to keep my job and my family apart, but some papers just follow me home.
Two years of recession in South America.
What company do you most admire?
Bosch. It has an excellent company culture. It is divided into automotive and non-automotive divisions. It has a strategy of long-term policy making, of looking far ahead into the future.
At the moment I am deep into my children's books - their favorites are Robin Hood and The Aristocats.
Meat and fish. We have excellent meat here, although Argentinean meat is better than Brazilian.
What car would you liked to have worked on?
Any of the old Jaguars. They were so stylish and cultured.
Sleep and read. I hardly ever work on planes, not even on long-distance flights.
I like to think of myself as being broad-minded, but I do sometimes get into difficulties with foreign cultures. | 2019-04-25T19:14:40 | https://europe.autonews.com/article/20000605/ANE/6050833/people-power-drives-vw-exec |
