In my last column, I discussed some of the news hype along with the positive effects and potential impacts on the ECM industry that has or will come about with Microsoft’s recent Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) introduction.
Since the last column, Microsoft has announced that SharePoint has generated $800 million in revenue and is projecting a whopping $1 billion impact in 2008.
If this doesn’t spell “g-a-m-e c-h-a-n-g-i-n-g” then I am not sure what it takes to get folks to realize it really IS a whole, new ballgame – for customers, for vendors, and for the broader ECM industry.
Now one of the biggest challenges that has come about from the hype and the huge Microsoft marketing blitz around SharePoint and ECM has been defining “what is SharePoint?” or maybe more importantly “what isn’t SharePoint?” when it comes to describing an ECM solution. In our discussion today, we’re going to review this question and help readers understand, with the aid of some newly crafted Microsoft positioning, exactly where SharePoint fits within an ECM strategy.
To begin: let’s first define ECM or “Enterprise Content Management.” Well, on second thought, that itself could take another two or three month’s worth of columns to cover in its entirety. Let me better narrow my focus to illustrate how most of the industry uses the term “ECM” and what we mean by an ECM solution.
Enterprise Content Management as a term (most credit Documentum for its origination and definition) is not illustrative of the market segment to which solutions are offered (e.g. enterprise, mid-market, small to medium businesses, etc.). Rather, ECM describes a suite that is capable of managing literally all types of business content and the associated technologies and functionality needed to support the capture, storage, management, protection, and delivery of the business content. This seems to fall in line with the usage of the “enterprise” classification, even Microsoft is using this to describe richer functional editions of SQL 2005 and SharePoint itself.
So what are the required functions and technologies of true Enterprise Content Management solutions? Gartner, Forrester, and other analyst groups are now defining specific guidelines in order for a vendor to be able to include their product suite in the ECM category. These guidelines suggest that a vendor must deliver five or six portions of what we call the “ECM stack” in order to be truly categorized and recognized as an ECM provider. One of the reasons for this is that many vendors that provided isolated components of the stack were calling themselves ECM vendors. This is one of the mistakes the AIIM/ECM community has made for years – confusion in posturing and definitions. In response, the analysts have tightened up in order to mitigate some of this confusion.
Some vendors might also include Digital Asset Management as a component of the stack, and there may still be others I’ve neglected here. But for our purposes, and for defining SharePoint’s position within the ECM category, we’ll limit our stack to the above list.
of the box. This confusion extended around the market from customers, to industry analysts, through resellers and vendors – and perhaps right on into Microsoft internally. Many actually thought SharePoint could be a full spectrum, head-on alternative to the broader and richer ECM suites offered by industry icons like EMC Documentum, IBM, OpenText, and others. However, after further due diligence, it was discovered that while SharePoint’s functionality is rich and quite impressive on many fronts, it is not a full ECM suite or end-to-end “stack” solution; rather, it offers a portion or contribution toward a complete ECM solution.
Now some may not agree with this next statement, but I think many will agree that eventually Microsoft “gets it right.” And to their credit, they have worked closely with various ECM industry analysts, vendors, and other interested constituents to refine their positioning (as most vendors do over the life of their solutions and products). I think many in the industry will be quite pleased with the outcome as this refined and narrowed focus for the strengths of SharePoint is presented to the market.
an excerpt from a recent slide deck presented by Microsoft personnel to illustrate this new positioning.
Now this isn’t to say that there aren’t other capabilities that SharePoint can fulfill – especially with partner-provided solutions that round out the stack. But let’s save that discussion for another month’s topic… So the best way to think of SharePoint based upon this messaging today is that it truly does provide some great “sub-capabilities” or portions of the broader ECM stack. But today it cannot be seen or classified as a full ECM solution on its own without the complement of partner provided components and solutions.
Clearview Software, innovators of the fresh, new approach to Enterprise Content Management (ECM) built exclusively on the Microsoft® technology platform, is proud to announce its selection as a finalist in the ECM Connection ACE Awards in the Banking/Finance category.
The ACE designation honors a company’s accomplishments and achievements in three specific categories: Appeal, Content, and Education. According to the ECM Connection staff, appeal refers to the company’s innovative, feature-rich product line; content refers to the valuable information resources offered on the company’s Web site and in its marketing collateral; and education refers to the vendor’s outstanding outreach programs and services.
Twenty-three finalists have been chosen around six industry and vertical market categories: Government, Healthcare, Banking/Finance, Compliance, High-Volume Scanning, and Low-Volume Scanning. Clearview Software, with its innovative new Clearview™ ECM suite, has been selected as an award finalist in the Banking/Finance category. The winners will be announced live at the upcoming 2007 AIIM Conference & Expo on April 17 in Boston, Massachusetts.
As the first solution to bring enterprise-class features and functionality to the mid-market, Clearview delivers rich ECM functionality that is highly extensible. Document imaging, document management, report management, workflow, retention services, email management, and records management are all bundled into a simplified package. Furthermore, the Office 2007 user experience enables information workers to interact with Clearview 4 through a feature-rich Microsoft Windows based Client, an optional Web Client interface, or the intriguing new Clearview IRISS Desktop Gadget. The IRISS Desktop Gadget is a brand new Windows Vista inspired mini-application that delivers a revolutionary user experience for the instant retrieval or storage of business information and content.
Technically, Clearview 4 is the first ECM solution built 100% on modern technological standards, including Microsoft .NET, SharePoint® Server 2007, Office 2007, SQL Server 2005, XML, and SOA/Web Services. Of particular interest, Clearview creates a virtual enterprise repository designed to federate, aggregate, and enhance the organization of SharePoint Server sites, or third party content or document repositories across an organization. With the simple-to-use, intuitive Clearview desktop experience, information workers can easily gain security controlled access to their allowed content across the enterprise.

There are a lot of items available for scrapbooking your Disney Scrapbooking adventure.
- Help from Mickey Mouse himself.
Below are some Disney Ideas and own Disney Scrapbook Store.
Your Disney Scrapbooking Layout does not have to actually have photos at Disney World or Disney Land. These layouts are for a lady who was planning a trip to Disney World after her retirement.
The Theme of the Retirement Party was Disney - even the school mascot wore a pair of Disney Mouse Ears and the layout was decorated with Disney stickers.
This cute set of Disney Scrapbooking Layouts was from a Page Kit set designed by Tami Potter of Mosaic Moments. This page kit comes with all the pieces pre-cut, and a beautiful red ribbon to match.
Her kits take about 15 minutes to put together using a photo of the design. The only thing you will need is adhesive and a pair of scissors to cut the ribbon. The blocks are a good size to use for your photos.
Here is another of Tami Potters Mosaic Moments Disney Scrapbooking Page Kits. This kit also comes with all the pre-cut pieces, including the scallop-cut photo mates, the ribbon, a charm of the enchanted castle and a pre-printed journaling box that says: "Happiness is - Enchanted memories of a magical kingdom."
Again, about 15 minutes to put together and all you need is the adhesive and a pair of scissors to cut the ribbon.
Check Tami's Website where you can purchase these kits and other in the Mosaic Moments line. Visit Snapncrop.com (Wish in the Wind, LLC) to purchase Tammy's beautiful and unique layouts and products.
Starting with border punches and papers with Disney icons such as mouse ears, stars, mouse hand prints and the big M, treasure map and pirate flags, some plain, some with particular characters, some embossed.
There are dimensional stickers with Mickey in various clothes and depicting various scenes in the jungle, as a pirate, near the haunted house, in a parade, and watching fire works with Minnie.
Papers are available as individual sheets, some with companion right and left pages, 12 sheet Paper Packs with all papers related to one particular Disney character and kits of Printed papers with all Disney characters. Paper with scenes from Park Amusements and tickets to tho amusements with coordinating plain paper, printed and textured is also available.
There are chipboard products of Mickey and all his friends, (some with glitter), as well as die cuts of all Mickey and friends in many familiar situations.
Also available to round out your entire stash of Disney Scrapbooking supplies are Sticker Sheets, Tags, Ribbons, Paper Punches and Punch Outs, Bottle Caps, Photo Corners, Sliders, Labels, Word & Character rub-ons. Film Strip type Stickers, Journaling Cards in mouse-ear shapes and for other characters, Brads, Paper Punches in various sizes, Epoxy Adhesive Tiles, Buttons, Title and Border Stickers, Phrase Stickers, and Travel Brochure Holders with stickers.
These are made by manufacturers such Jolees, Sandylion, Castle, Stamping Station and EK Success.
There is even the Essential Disney Idea Book with over 65 pages of ideas and inspirations for scrapbooking various Disney Layouts and paper craft projects as well as gift ideas, and handmade journals.
One of the best places I know of to find a wide assortment of Disney products is ScrapYourTrip.com. I order from them often and have found their products to be good quality with prompt shipping and pleasant and helpful customer service.
Just recently released through a newsletter are 14 different Disney layouts from Scrapbooks, etc.
I also found a webisode from PaperWishes.com for some kits: "Disney Finished in A Flash". This webisode can be viewed to see the details of the kits, and the use of the elements in finished scrapbook layouts and cards, as well as using the elements and papers with a few non-Disney photos. The link will enable you to view the webisode in either high or low bandwidth at PaperWishes.com. | 2019-04-24T04:17:38 | http://www.scrapbook-advice.com/Disney-Scrapbooking.html | [

A proposal to release genetically engineered (GE) moths in an area of upstate New York has been approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The trial is meant to test the efficacy of the GE moths in reducing the local diamondback moth population. Diamondback moths are considered to be an invasive pest because they destroy vegetables like cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli when they’re at the caterpillar stage of their life cycle.
The genetically-engineered moths are designed to die before adulthood. After male moths are released into a test site, their gene is passed on to offspring through mating. The gene causes female moths to die at the caterpillar stage to stop the reproductive cycle. Scientists have also given the GE moths a fluorescent protein marker so they can be traced.
The field trial is to be led by a team of researchers from Cornell University who plan to release the moths in a 10-acre field in Geneva, New York, owned by the university. The federal permit allows 30,000 moths to be released per week over a period of three to four months.
According to the U.K. company that produces the GE moths, Oxitec, the GE moths are an alternative to the use of insecticides to control pests which also often eradicate other more desirable insects integral to the ecosystem, like bees and other pollinators.
The same company has submitted — and withdrawn — applications for field trials of GE insects in Spain and elsewhere to battle the olive fruit fly.
However, the Washington-based Center for Food Safety said that genetically engineered insects are a threat to “native ecosystems and human health” with the potential to create new problems like harm to other species that rely on them for food.
A group of New York organic farmers is also opposed to the experiment and is calling for a full environmental review. According to the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York (NOFA-NY), the USDA’s environmental assessment has not sufficiently addressed the potential health and environmental effects. NOFA-NY’s policy advisor, Liana Hoodes, told EcoWatch that it was now up to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to require an environmental impact assessment.
NOFA-NY also pointed out that Oxitec had not completed a thorough health, safety and environmental review before exporting its GE moths.
In 2016, approval was granted for the release in Florida of GE mosquitoes, also produced by Oxitec, to test their effectiveness in eradicating the Aedes aegypti mosquito, responsible for transmitting viruses like Zika, dengue fever and chikungunya. This proposed trial has been delayed following opposition from local residents. However, the company has been successful in releasing GE mosquitoes in Brazil, the Cayman Islands and Panama with reports of a subsequent decline in the Aedes aegypti mosquito population. | 2019-04-25T14:42:33 | http://www.buffaloenv.com/article.cfm?ArticleNumber=439 | [

The exciting conclusion to the Saga of The Missing Minivan!!
On a cold, overcast sunday in early January, I get home from work and am looking forward to an afternoon of pricing new minivans (Salsa Red Pearl, Rear Seat Entertainment Center, 38,400 MSRP!) when the phone rings.
Danny: Okay. Just so you know, she doesn’t want to change the phone service. Somebody called about that yesterday and she got really mad.
Danny: Well…okay. Here she is.
Officer Smith: Hello ma’am. I’m calling from the Arlington County police department to tell you we recovered your car.
Me: Uhh…that’s….great. What condition is it in?
Officer Smith: I have no idea. It’s at an impound lot in PG County. It was found abandoned in an industrial park in District Heights, Maryland.
Me: Do I have to pick it up?
Me: Uh….I mean, do I have to pick it up now? I just put my slippers on.
Officer Smith: No ma’am…you have to bring proof of ownership to the PG county police station and get a release form. Then, you bring that to the impound lot and get your car.
Me: That sounds like a fun way to spend the afternoon.
Officer Smith: Ma’am, you want your car back, don’t you?
At this point, there is a long pause. I think about the gleaming, pearly salsa-red lines of a new minivan as I float down I-495, listening to my favorite Pandora station as the children quietly bask in their own individual rear-seat entertainment cocoons. The bisque leather interior and floor mats are spotless, the windows are clean and free of impound lot stickers and the sun is shining.
Me: (Heavy sigh). I guess so.
I begin my JRR Tolkien-style journey at home, where I leave my house in Arlington provisioned with a bottle of water, a credit card, and my heavy traveling gloves. I walk to the Falls Church metro station, where I wait for 20 freezing minutes in the Great Wind Tunnel to be whisked away into the subterranean heart of Washington DC. After navigating the labyrinthine bowels of Metro Center, I disembark at majestic Union Station and again brave the frigid temperatures in a brutal 4 minute walk to the Dirksen Building where I meet my traveling companion, Eric “Aragorn” Bader. We complete the next leg of the journey by Jeep, crossing into Mary-land and arriving at JD Towing in the waning hours of the afternoon. As we approach our van, we are filled with trepidation: The remnants of a smoke-filled, fast-food fueled night of crime, violence and mayhem surely await us. We shudder to think of the congealed cheese, mummified french fries, drug paraphernalia, and bloodstains that surely mar the formerly pristine interior. What unspeakable horrors (or acts of passion?) have been committed in our fold-down third row seat?
As we approach the van, we cheer to find it unscathed-from the outside. Then we open the door.
Trash litters the car from one end to the other. Random objects, such as articles of clothing (is that underwear?!!!) are scattered over the upholstery and the floor mats. The smell, a combination of feet, dog sweat, and decomposing food, is overpowering.
My partner and I high-five each other in the time-honored gesture of victory.
The gas tank may be empty, but my heart is full. Who knows why the car thieves were so polite? Maybe they had an attack of conscience. Maybe they figured the van had seen enough abuse. But for whatever reason, they left the registration in the glove box, a $200 pair of sunglasses on the seat, and the car keys on the console.
The sun grows low on the horizon over gutted car skeletons and barbed wire, as we race to the county police station to get the form to release our van. One hour and twenty minutes later, we arrive back at the impound lot with just 15 minutes to spare before the office and gates are locked for the night. At 4:27 PM on January 8th, a mere six hours before the anniversary of the hour of my birth, we make our triumphant departure from JR Towing.
And, much to my children’s chagrin, I do. | 2019-04-23T08:09:17 | https://jomofunny.com/2014/02/ | [

Paddy Johnson at the Brooklyn art blog Art Fag City reports that the Chelsea Art Museum has cancelled its November opening of The Aesthetics of Terror and its chief curator has resigned in protest. Museum president Dorothea Keeser reportedly felt the exhibition — which was to include artists like Jenny Holzer, Harun Farocki, Martha Rosler and the Chapman brothers — “ glorified terrorism and showed disrespect for its victims,” according to Josh Azzarella, one of the show’s artists. CAM chief curator Manon Slome has, according to Johnson, left over the cancellation.
The museum has deleted mention of the exhibition, which was to run Nov. 21 though Jan. 31, but a cached version (with the title The Dialectics of Terror) is still available.
UPDATE 2: Johnson interviews Keeser and offers a note from former CAM chief curator Manon Slome.
Terror is, in and of itself, an image making machine. The very point of terror is a spectacle that plays endlessly in the media. In 9/11, thousands may have died, but billions of people watched the attack and the falling towers endlessly until those images were etched into the global psyche. While terrorism and its representations have been widely discussed ever since 9/11, very few of these contemplations have tackled the issue of specific formal qualities and pictorial strategies of terrorism. The exhibition The Dialectics of Terror tries to do exactly that; namely, it investigates certain visual characteristics of the spectacle of Terror and its echoes in contemporary art. The exhibition employs the distinction made by artist Roee Rosen on the principle gap between representations of underground terrorism, produced by terrorist groups, and images of State Terror – this is the gap between figuration and abstraction. The representational apparatus of State Terror, says Rosen, is based on the blurring or erasure of central figures, exchanging it for abstraction: Smart Bombs’ aerial views of bombardments, for example, or the blocking of visibility by grids or satellite type images that obscure rather than illuminate. On the other end, representations of underground terrorism strive for a central, powerful figure or symbol – the portrait of a suicide bomber, collapsing skyscrapers and the icon of bearded Bin Laden with his golden gown and triangular composition – “this is an icon in the religious sense: a human, semi-divine person whose very appearance defies the divide of life and death”, Rosen claims.
What happens when an image of war or terrorism moves from the newspaper or news networks, to the gallery or museum? What causes the shift from an image having “documentary” relevance to it becoming an aesthetic object circulating in the art system? As artists navigate these boundaries, either through direct translation or through appropriation, does violence retain its power to inspire fear and dread, or does this contextual transposition fetishize violence, stripping it of meaning through aestheticization? The Dialectics of Terror explores the juxtaposition/integration of the traumas of the daily news with art and question the nature and purport of this integration.
The Dialectics of Terror maps the relationship between abstraction and technology; color and violence, pixilated images and sovereignty, saturation and contour, authenticity and resolution. Much of the work in the exhibition deals less with direct depiction of violence and terror than with its media representations or perceptions of war as filtered through the media – itself a corporate entity whose failure to lay bare the species of evil that is being enacted under the rubric of a war on terror is also very much the point. The Dialectics of Terror strives to suggest the emergence of an artistic sensibility which has been informed by the imagery and politics of terrorism in the current common culture as they have been formulated and conveyed through the popular media. Artworks might imitate or mirror this media rhetoric, identify its mechanisms to the viewer, critique it, push back or protest against it.
Through the writings of contemporary scholars from around the world, the exhibition catalogue proposes a further investigation into the image production machine of terror. Co-curator Manon Slome implements the exhibition’s formalistic reading of terror imagery through the exhibited works. Co-curator Joshua Simon presents a close reading of suicide bombers videos as a case study for terror as image making. Dutch writer and curator Sven Lutticken suggests a survey of recent image warsin Europe. Israeli writer, curator and filmmaker Ariella Azoulay presents a visual essay on State Terror – through photo documentation from the West Bank and Gaza, she depicts destruction as the sovereign’s architecture. German critic Boris Groys reads the Abu Ghraib photos in relation to western traditions of humiliation and survival and scholar Eric Stryker suggests an historical overview of the relations of art and terror from the French revolution to present day.
A fully illustrated catalogue will be produced for the exhibition with texts by Manon Slome, Joshua Simon, Sven Lutticken, and Eric Stryker. | 2019-04-22T08:42:39 | https://walkerart.org/magazine/chelsea-art-museum-pulls-plug | [

New tube / no tube….
After asking a couple of retailers, I seem to have found that there have been only a handful of mac pros in the whole of the UK shipped with dual D700s, and only a few with D500s.
Our orders still say shipping Feb, but I can see that slipping now - has anyone else around the UK received a base spec model?
Re: New tube / no tube….
B&H in NYC, was regularly getting in the two stock models, rarely out of stock for more than a couple of days. Suddenly that stopped and now everything is showing March.
It is a bit disappointing that Apple can't seem to come close to meeting demand.
I was considering the stock 6 core D500 but wanted 512GB SSD instead of 256GB. A simple change like that sets things back weeks. That's a serious parts shortage.
Given what happened with last year's iMac release, there seems to be a need for a serious reexamination of Apple's supply chain management.
Really. This is like a parody of "build on demand" wherein the normally hubristic Apple somehow anticipates NO demand, builds a couple dozen units and then sits on their hands to see how demand will shake out.
[Douglas K. Dempsey] "Really. This is like a parody of "build on demand" wherein the normally hubristic Apple somehow anticipates NO demand, builds a couple dozen units and then sits on their hands to see how demand will shake out.
Isn't the tube assembled in the USA? If this is a new departure for Apple there could be all sorts of issues in the supply chain.
I know of a couple of people in the UK who have got their BTO Tubes and there are a few stock config versions available at some retailers.
My 8-core, otherwise maxed out, machine; ordered December 26th, is still showing February shipping here in Canada.
Both were standard emails giving a status update where was said the mac pro was still going to be shipped in february. I hope those emails are a sign that the pro is actually being assembled and shipping soon... iMac is driving me nuts!
I haven't heard of anyone who's initial ship date said "February" begging changed. Hopefully they were super-conservate with their ship estimates.
yeah well the end of February is coming. I figured I would perhaps receive my mp early February(as I've ordered the day it got released) but we're already at 2/3 of the month.
Strangely I've heard of someone in the UK getting the mp in january while he had ordered his unit more than a week later than i did and he had a maxed out 8 core.
It may come down to an uneven distribution of units globally, depending on how they're handling global orders.
I'm betting this is a backlog of CPUs from Intel.
I seriously can't see us getting ours anytime in February. With only 10 days left, even if the dispatch date comes before the end of this week, it still needs to ship to us from Dallas. Seems that US orders will ship first, then Canada and Europe.
It's not a concern for apple but we are going to be losing money if they don't arrive before the first week of March. Disappointed.
Over at the FCP.co forums. At least one person has had their order status go from "Processing Order" to "Preparing for Shipment" to "Shipped" within 24 hrs.
And B&H in the USA is now showing 4 to 6 weeks including the two stock models. Six weeks would certainly be April.
Does Apple have a very serious supply chain issue? This ranges from ongoing to worsening.
I was understanding that all shipping delays were hitting new orders (maybe hopefully) - meaning that anyone ordering now would be waiting until at least April. However, I could be wrong, and it wouldn't be surprising that apple maintains radio silence whilst they have supply issues, before telling everyone on the 28th of Feb that their MP is shipping in March/April/May etc.
It's surprising that apple didn't estimate some form of high demand for the device that they described in October/November and start stockpiling them so that anyone ordering within 2 weeks would receive their machine inside the next fortnight….
What "gets me" is that B&H seemed to be getting the stock models in constantly until the beginning of February. Then as days progressed the delivery timed continued (continues) to lengthen.
I can't help but think something is up given B&H went from "In Stock" for some time to lengthening delivery. Either demand is escalating or they have a supply chain issue (or both).
I really wish we had purchased through apple business, or bought through an intermediary. Buying as an apple personal customer seems to offer much worse customer service, although I doubt many people who have ordered for business are being given much more info.
Something is wrong with the supply chain - either with the CPU, GPU or with apple's build. It's hard to believe that a firm as large as apple haven't learnt from the iMac issues they experienced and stockpiled hardware to meet (potential) high demand.
I hope this delay scenario isn't going to unfold. I'd rather have them tell me now then tell me on the 28th of february! But as I've said before, I've had 2 emails in which they told me they're still expecting the tube to be delivered as planned(in february). They would look kind of stupid if that would suddenly slip to end of march or april-may.
I really think a shortage of components from Intel, as it seem very difficult to get Xeon E5v2 processors in any way, shape or form; not just in a MacPro.
And as to capacity. I'm not sure there is a solution.
If you set up to build to peak demand right after launch, then all that extra manufacturing capacity is wasted over the rest of the life of the product.
For what it's worth, it looks like Apple's estimates will prove true for me. The order status on my 8-core, D700 machine changed to "Preparing for Shipment" today.
So far as I know, the April ship date is ONLY on new orders placed after a certain date.
A client of mine who who's order went in on December 24th has just shipped, so I'm expecting my order from the 26th to ship early next week.
FWIW--I went with a new Macbook Pro this time around because it seems that I will be doing a lot more writing/producing this year and I want the extra mobility. That said, I'm still doing broadcast/studio editorial on it a couple of days a week. It seems much faster than my 8 Core and plugs into two very effective TBolt docking stations I've put together with 2560 Monitors. It does all my Avid work at full res without blinking and Pr just seems to love it. I wouldn't worry too much about using them for editorial if push comes to shove.
Maybe if you are all about 4K that's something else. Right now, that's not an issue for me even a little.
I think I'm also going Macbook for the mac side of things. Far too many unanswered tube questions for me at this point. | 2019-04-24T12:55:45 | https://forums.creativecow.net/docs/forums/post.php?forumid=335&postid=66179&univpostid=66179&pview=t | [

The World Cup is still bouncing on, Wimbledon’s at full swing, music festivals are eating up the weekends, and the sun is shining. Traditionally, in summer weeks like this, television networks do not launch big new dramas. Or, if they do, it’s because someone somewhere has watched the thing, reckoned that it’s a bit of a dog, and decided to try and slip it out while no one is looking.
Certainly, the scheduling of The Honourable Woman smacks of the BBC hedging its bets, and I can understand why. From what I’ve seen, this eight-part serial is, by an enormous distance, the best drama British television has produced this year, if not in several years. That sort of thing makes people nervous.
Adding to the angst is that it is by writer-director-producer Hugo Blick who, as previously demonstrated by 2011’s brilliant and demented Shadow Line, has taken the decision not to follow the path that has led to the situation where 85 per cent of our TV fictions today run together in the same grey blur of porridgey “realism,” to the extent you could edit together sequences from social-message dramas, sci-fi shows and sitcoms without noticing they came from different programmes.
The Honourable Woman isn’t quite as heavily and mischievously stylised as The Shadow Line, but all the elements that made that series stand out – and turned some viewers off – remain. It is rooted in real, pressing concerns: the mystery centres on Nessa Stein (Maggie Gyllenhaal), a Briton of Israeli extraction, who, as head of an enormously wealthy family-run business and charitable foundation, and a newly-elected member of the House Of Lords, is a major player in the Middle East peace process. Around her conspire secrets, shades, hidden agendas and buried histories, involving her, her family, its fortune and the black, geopolitical, realpolitik jousting of intelligence services. She sleeps alone in a panic room.
Blick assembles his themes seriously, but goes at them as a man whose vision is filtered through, haunted by and seeking communion with TV and films that have moved him in the past. The BBC’s Edge Of Darkness and John Le Carré adaptations of the late-1970s and early-80s are major touchstones. Dialogue can have the blunt, pausing patter of Pinter. The landscapes sometimes fall as beautifully, artificially and carefully empty as the bright streets John Steed and Emma Peel hunted through in The Avengers. In frantic chases by night, shadows loom and flit like they once did through The Third Man.
Beneath, trickles a thin current of odd, dark humour. Much involves Stephen Rea as Sir Hugh Hayden-Hoyle, an MI6 spook about to be forced from his job, but digging in his heels to investigate the murder of a Palestinian businessman with connections to Stein. Blick gave Rea the role of a lifetime as The Shadow Line’s indestructible Gatehouse, and he’s done it again here. Louche yet prissy, dissipated but steely, Rea’s Hayden-Hoyle suggests a weird combination of George Smiley and Bill Wyman. Gyllenhaal, meanwhile, has Joan of Arc hair, a face like a mask, and a voice like sleep.
There are action setpieces and cliffhangers. Between comes space, light and stillness; moments that have the slow, glassy clarity of a dream. False leads, red herrings and paranoia abound. The recurring motifs are doors and curtains, things hidden, partially glimpsed. A voice asks: “Are you lost?” Tension pulls tight. It’s like doing a jigsaw without the picture, using pieces that come individually through the mail in unmarked envelopes. It is very, very good. | 2019-04-21T06:43:09 | https://damienlove.com/writing/the-honour-is-all-mine-the-honourable-woman/ | [

The Diamonds have struggled to get back to reality in League One after the glamour tie with the Hoops in January.
Kyle Wilkie believes Airdrieonians have finally recovered from Scottish Cup defeat to Celtic with a result over Forfar.
The Diamonds had been in free-fall since their trip to Celtic Park picking up just one win since January, but a strike from midfielder Wilkie secured the three points against Loons.
The Penny Cars Stadium outfit currently sit seven point behind fourth-placed East Fife, with The Fifers having played a game more, but he reckons things are clicking at a key time in the season.
Wilkie said: “We played well and we knocked it about the park well from the midfield to the top. It was a really composed performance.
“It’s true that we had fallen down the table a bit, but it’s a good spirit with the boys despite the run we have been on.
“We all get on with each other in the dressing room and it’s just maybe taken time for a few different things to click.
“We have a talented changing room in there and sometimes these things take time.
“The main thing was to get the win and start looking up the table.
“We’ve been in a situation before where we have had a good run of games, and probably that wee bit of luck as well.
“After the Celtic game we never really kicked on as well as we thought we were going to.
“The boys heads aren’t down. Normally you think when these things happen the boys heads would go down but we’re all right at it still." | 2019-04-24T02:54:41 | https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/airdrieonians-finally-back-after-after-14187750 | [

I woke up soon after the theme was announced. The results were very interesting, and I’m very happy with the theme. I spent some time thinking about a game to make, and I’ve been wanting to explore the incremental game genre for a while.
I slept a few more hours, talked to some friends, thought about the game, then started programming at about noon. Over four hours, the game got simpler and simpler as I explored mechanics, and at 4 pm it felt complete.
I am done. It feels very strange to finish this early, I’m usually struggling up until the last couple of hours. Good luck and have fun, and I can’t wait to see what you all make!
After wasting a lot of time yesterday on getting sidetracked with another game idea and not having any idea what to make, it all kinda just fell in place and the game got made pretty quickly after that. I got to learn a few new things (how to use Web Audio, and that Dart does VERY lazy field initialization), and I actually get to go to bed at a reasonable time after a Ludum Dare.
I can’t wait to see what other games have been made this weekend. If you’re still struggling with yours, good luck, and I believe in you!
I found this theme very challenging. All ideas were either way too narrow to be fun, or way too broad to be restricting at all. While I was trying to figure out what kind of game to make, I implemented the WebGL framework I needed in Dart, which involves quite a lot of heavy lifting, including having to write shaders. WebGL gives you almost nothing for free.
Once I had the framework up and running, I had no idea what game to make, so I temporarily ditched what I had to try out another idea. That idea sucked, so I went back to the original mess and slowly over the day turned it into a game about santa claus having to gather wood in order to be able to create all the toys he will soon distribute.
Tomorrow, I will tweak and try to balance the gameplay, add a titlescreen and a game over screen, and look into getting some sounds in there. For once, I’m not worried about running out of time.
I’ve been doing LD on and off for a long time, and it’s some of the most fun game development I’ve ever experienced. Sure, there might not be enough sleep, and the food might not be the healthiest in the world, and the final hour or two is a frantic scramble to get rid of the most crippling bugs and trying to polish things up enough to make it all seem at least a little bit game like, but it’s all worth it. The sense of completion when/if you finish the game is incredible.
I can’t want to see what games people make with whatever almost certainly horrible theme we end up with.
Lacking is a bunch of more item interactions, more monsters, sounds, and some kind of game goal.
After some 3.5 hours of work, I’ve at least got the core running..
For some reason I decided to really limit myself technically. The screen is 160 x 120 pixels, and the only available graphics is drawing four color 8×8 pixels sprites. Each color index can be one of 240 different colors in each sprite, and the sprites can be flipped along the x and/or the y axis.
The idea is to make sort of a 2d Minecraft or a harvest moon clone, where you wake up on some shore and have to do the best you can with the tools you find on the island.
I uploaded a Timelapse of the Chambered to YouTube!
I recorded this at one pic every four seconds, and it ended up being about 14 minutes at 60 fps, so this video is skipping quite a few frames.
So when’s the next LD? I miss it already.
I made a dungeon crawler!
I recorded the entire process at one screenshot every other second, and streamed it all live. I didn’t do as much talking as I hoped I would. It’s very difficult to stay interesting when concentrating..
The first several hours were spent making the game renderer from scratch. I chose a low resolution screen with simple four bit images that can be tinted to any color, which sets the graphical tone in a nice way while still letting me draw art fast. Levels are designed as images with each color representing a different block, and the alpha channel containing the “id” information. For example, a pressure plate with id (alpha) 200 will open all doors with id (alpha) 200. I can override this default trigger behavior in the code to do more advanced pressure plate logic.
One major inspiration for this game was Link’s Awakening, which I’m currently replaying again on my 3DS, so the game world is based on a central hub with a few different dungeons you need to complete in order. In each dungeon, you find a unique item that lets you access the next dungeon, and a boss monster that drops a key. Once you have four keys, you can open the final door and win the game.
The game play ended up being slightly more action oriented than I originally thought, but that is probably a good thing. Except for a few places where you can get yourself stuck, I think it actually plays fairly well. I tried to design the levels so that there were very few wasted blocks to make the game feel tight and complex. There are two hidden trinkets per level. and usually two hidden powerups as well. All-in-all, there are six levels in the game, and even something that actually feels like a boss fight.
In the last couple of hours, I added stuff like sound (SFXR, woo) and title screens, while trying to play test the game as much as I could. I got in bed at about 5 am or so, feeling exhausted and happy.
I think I’m making a dungeon crawler!
As usual, I just barely know what I’m doing, but it’s turning into some kind of low-fidelity dungeon crawler. Next up is implementing sprites and movement.
I should be sleeping, but I’m not!
2:30 am. 1.5 hours left until LD #21 begins.
I’ve prepared my recording tools, set up a blank new project in eclipse, and I plan on staying up until the theme is announced. Then I’ll get some sleep and let my dreams invent games for me, and get cracking tomorrow when I wake up.
As usual, I will be making games from scratch in Java.
I’ll use Eclipse, Paint.net, and quite possibly SFXR.
I’m in, and I’m hoping for recursion!!
I’m joining this weekend, I’ve sent my little “hello”-vid, and I’m super excited to see recursion on there!
I mean, without recursion, how would you explain the joke at the end of the post someone just submitted?
You can play what I managed to finish here. You can get the source code from there as well.
Well, six hours to go, it’s 9pm, and tomorrow is Minecraft Beta Day, something I probably should be well rested for. My game is nowhere near a game yet, although the game engine is pretty fun.
I spent all of today working on just the engine. You can go up/down stairs, pick up items (actually, the engine can detect clicks on any sprite), and throw items now.
I sleep now. Tomorrow, I turn this into a game.
As usual, I’m working in Java, and I make everything from scratch. I decided to go with a purely billboarded sprite based 3d engine this time, and I’m making some kind of dungeon crawler a la Dungeon Master or Eye of the Beholder. I’ve got much of the engine implemented, and it’s about time to start working on the actual game now.
The plan is to build game areas, and add the required game features as I go along, so I won’t implement monsters until the map actually requires monsters.
Click here to try the latest version. Use WASD + Q +E. There’s not much gameplay yet.
I’m also streaming the entire thing live here. There’s no sound because I have a cold, but there is soothing music.
I want to make a first person dungeon crawler a la Eye of the Beholder. Of course, having said that, I’ve jinxed any chances of a suitable theme winning. Making an interesting tile based first person game about evolution might be an interesting challenge..

As a child, I drank ordinary hot chocolate. As my tastes developed, I longed for a deeper and richer hot chocolate. Unable to find such a delicacy, I decided to formulate quality hot chocolates that were light on the tongue, yet rich in flavor and bold in character. I challenge you to savor the moment and enjoy all of my quality blends.
"For Baking" this cocoa powder will give your baked products a stronger chocolate taste and a richer chocolate color.

There was a delicious sit down 3 course menu for 52 guests which were served by the restaurant at Ciudad Patricia of a juicy steak and succulent salmon both cooked to perfection.
Entertainment music and dancing were included. Barry known as the ¨Swing Man¨ delighted the guests with old favorites from the 50´s 60´s and 70´s at the end everyone was up on the dance floor especially some good old fashioned rock and Roll. Of course Peggy 98 was first on the dance floor.
There was a big surprise for the guests of a fantastic magic show that wowed the guests from ¨Magic John¨ with fire, doves and magic illusions. There was also some funny sketches were some of the residents were brave enough to participate. Everyone was talking after what a fantastic and fun party it was.

Primer for writing NWC Objects?
I am trying to grasp the trill object and while I understand parts of it, I am a long way for having a handle on it. Is there a primer or template for creating an object to add, remove, or change what NWC would normally show or print? Same for what happens during playback? Is there a library of functions with instructions on how and when to use them?
Re: Primer for writing NWC Objects?
As the author of the Trill.ms object (and a bunch of others), I can tell you that I wish there were a tutorial/primer for creating objects. The forums here are where I learned to write them, by looking at others' efforts. In the beginning, it was mostly @NoteWorthy Online, @Rick G. and me, although others have come on board since then.
There is documentation online which describes the API, which you can find here, but I assume you have looked this over already. Maybe if you have specific questions about Trill.ms, I can try to answer them. I won't pretend that my code is the easiest to follow, and some of the objects have evolved over time as new functions and capabilities were added to the plugin object API. For example, when the trill object began, it only knew how to draw them. Later, I added the ability to play them, and still later, I added the logic to allow trills to wrap to the next system. That last one was probably the most complicated to implement, and also the hardest to explain. | 2019-04-24T07:59:32 | https://forum.noteworthycomposer.com/?topic=9770.0;prev_next=prev | [

I've had no issues with 1809 once the initial CUs went in and very few issues with the original release.
Build install went fine. All apps (I do not use too many except Adobe) still working as is the updated Your Phone App. No banner in Settings, I guess that's a goner, and watermark not present again. Everything else seems to be working as it should.
lol hopefully they get it sorted, this build 18362.1 seems to run nice.
Snappier and faster then 1803 & 1809.
I still have the absurd banner in Settings. Someone must know how to disable it... please?
LOL! Mine just went away a few builds ago. I kinda' liked it and wished it would have been permanent, but guess not.
You can have mine, I don't like it at all.
Updated to 18362.1 without problems and ISO was made. Normal amount of time to download and install.
I know were suppose to test new features...but..banner in settings..hamburger pop up in start menu...friendly dates ... They come and go.. disappear and reappear .from what's I see ..... coming from 1809 the only visual difference is the light theme unless these features I mentioned actually make it to the official release, I hope they do because I like them and it gives a nice look.

German finance minister Wolfgang Schäuble looks on as Greece finance minister Yanis Varoufakis speaks.
Greece’s new SYRIZA government submitted its list of proposed economic reforms to the Eurogroup (the finance ministers of eurozone nations) on February 23 as a precondition for its international creditors to approve a four-month loan extension. The deal was signed on February 20.
With Greece’s existing loan arrangement expiring on February 28 and bankruptcy looming, a last-minute deal was finally agreed after three weeks of intense negotiations. The talks had been characterised by daily — sometimes hourly — twists and turns, claims and counterclaims, leaks and threats.
SYRIZA was elected on January 25 on a wave of hope and rejection of the crippling austerity measures imposed on Greece in return for economic “bail-out” programs by the “Troika” — the European Central Bank (ECB), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Union (EU). The deal represents a significant compromise on its election platform.
Any discussion of debt write-offs, “hair-cuts” or renegotiation has been postponed until the next round of negotiations. Funds earmarked for bank recapitalisation will have to be used for that purpose, rather than redirected towards meeting Greece’s desperate social needs.
Greece no longer has to accept the unilateral diktats of the Troika and is able to negotiate with each body separately. But the new funding still comes with conditions. These include oversight by those same bodies, now referred to as “the institutions”, and restrictions on how the money can be used.
The SYRIZA government is required to refrain from any “rollback of measures and unilateral changes to the policies and structural reforms that would negatively impact fiscal targets, economic recovery or financial stability, as assessed by the institutions”.
Although less than specific, this restriction includes any privatisations already completed, as well as those now underway. Depending on interpretation, this may also impact on measures promised by SYRIZA to improve social welfare, such as raising the minimum wage and restoring collective bargaining rights.
On the other hand, the agreement also includes measures that will improve SYRIZA’s ability to fund solutions to the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Greece.
To gather funds, the government is able to crack down on corruption, tax avoidance, tax immunity (Greece’s powerful shipping owners, for instance, currently pay no tax) and smuggling.
Such measures target the vested interests of Greece’s powerful oligarchy — something previous governments deliberately avoided — and strengthen the revenue-raising capacity of the Greek state.
This approach has already achieved success, with a reported €500 million already raised. It still remains to be seen if enough revenue can be raised to address social needs while repaying Greece’s short-term debts — several billion euros are due for payment in the coming months.
The SYRIZA government has described the agreement as a qualified success. Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis described it as “a small step in the right direction”.
Varoufakis said that Greece is now the “co-author” of its own fate, no longer the victim of “autopilot austerity” where it meekly takes economic and policy directives from its creditors.
In a marathon 10-hour session on February 25, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras advocated the deal to his fellow SYRIZA MPs as a small but tangible win.
Acknowledging the restrictive conditions in the interim agreement, Tsipras said that while it is an extension of pre-existing loan arrangements, it is not a continuation of the Memorandum of Understanding that accompanied the previous tranche of loans.
Tsipras said the new deal frees up the government from unrealistic primary surplus targets and “asphyxiating” policies of austerity. While “things remain difficult”, the prime minister said the conditions replace the previous government’s measures with targets based on SYRIZA’s “Thessaloniki program”, which it took into January’s election.
SYRIZA’s leaders have faced severe internal criticism over the deal, however. It has mostly come from members of the party’s Left Platform, who consider the deal a near-capitulation to Greece’s creditors on the questions of debt and austerity. About 30 of SYRIZA’s 149 MPs, and four government ministers, belong to the Left Platform.
A Left Platform leader and member of SYRIZA’s central committee, Stathis Kouvelakis, said SYRIZA had carried out a major retreat caused by a “mistaken strategy”. He said the deal showed it was impossible to break with austerity and Greece’s debt burden “within the existing European framework”.
On February 25, Greek energy minister and Left Platform supporter Panagiotis Lafazanis said the privatisation of Greece’s main energy company and energy grid operator would not go ahead, a statement that appears at odds with the deal’s conditions.
The SYRIZA government has emphasised that its promised social measures will go ahead. In a CNN interview on February 23, Varoufakis insisted “there will be no pension cuts, there will be no increases to Value-Added Tax, there will be a series of poverty-alleviation moves.
Varoufakis conceded that Greece was forced into significant compromises, admitting on February 20 that he was asking Europe to meet Greece “not half-way, but one-fifth of the way”.
In the event, that was a lot more than powerful forces in Europe wanted to give them.
SYRIZA was elected with a mandate to end austerity, resolve the country’s social crisis and rebuild the Greek economy. The humanitarian crisis caused by austerity has led to a widespread drop in living standards, with about one in four people unemployed (60% of youth) and an average 20% cut in wages for those in work.
The negotiation process, therefore, exposed the open contempt for democracy that lies at the heart of the European Union and the financial interests that it represents.
Schäuble took this uncompromising stance into negotiations, using Germany's dominance within the Eurogroup to demand Greece’s total and unconditional capitulation.
If Greece was hoping for support from other countries suffering from austerity, however, it was disappointed. Spain, Ireland, Portugal and Finland — all facing rising political challenges to their pro-austerity governments — sided firmly with Germany, as did France and Italy, leaving Greece isolated.
Meanwhile, Greece was faced with possible bankruptcy. A run on the banks led to an estimated €3 billion withdrawn in the week before February 20, on top of a further €12 billion withdrawn in January.
In the final days before the agreement, the ECB was preparing for a possible “Grexit” — a Greek exit from the eurozone, and therefore the EU.
Varoufakis had already ruled out a voluntary Grexit on the basis of the economic damage it would cause and the boost it would give to the neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn, already the third largest party in the Greek parliament.
A series of compromise drafts were rejected by Schäuble, who accused the Greeks of trying to present a “Trojan horse”. The claim was echoed in an increasingly nationalistic German media, which blames “lazy Greeks”, rather than a predatory and poorly regulated banking system, for the crisis.
However, SYRIZA won exactly what Schäuble insisted so strenuously it would not get — a short-term loan extension, with a degree of control over spending to alleviate the worst elements of austerity.
Differences about the exact nature of the agreement appear to be emerging already.
On the one hand, the Greek government has presented the interim arrangement as a break from the Memorandum and its austerity policies.
After the deal was struck, Schäuble exulted that “the Greeks certainly will have a difficult time explaining the deal to their voters”.
For its part, the IMF is concerned about the lack of “clear assurances that the [Greek] Government intends to undertake the reforms envisaged in the Memorandum on Economic and Financial Policies”.
Even if the list of reforms is accepted by the Eurozone parliaments, the institutions have until the end of April to “refine” it. Key elements may yet be rejected. | 2019-04-24T22:56:00 | https://www.greenleft.org.au/content/greece-wins-deal-breathing-space-made-pay-high-cost?mini=2018-12 | [

I'm getting my dad a copy of DMC for Father's Day. He was a big Fleming fan back in the day. In fact, he thinks he was reading a Bond book in the waiting room when I was being born (I also think it's possible I was conceived after a screening of FRWL, which explains a lot).
A complete set of the Fleming Centenary reprints is also a great gift idea for a Fleming fan father.
This isn't going to work for me, unfortunately. I can't even get my dad to watch one of the films let alone read one of the books.
If either of my children gave me DMC for Father's Day KNOWING I was a Fleming fan, I'd disown them.
(I also think it's possible I was conceived after a screening of FRWL, which explains a lot).
I enjoyed it quite a bit, myself. He caught the breezier, more colorful tone of Fleming better than Gardner or Benson (or Amis, though I like his novel overall), and I really enjoyed Bond dealing with the London of the 60's that Fleming missed out on.
I think the "writing as Ian Fleming" on the cover is key. It's not a continuation novel in the sense that he's adding to the character or making Bond his own -- it's a one-off celebration of the subject, and a fun read. | 2019-04-25T10:01:47 | http://debrief.commanderbond.net/topic/47419-dmc-for-fathers-day/index.html | [

If you were born in the month of October, you have two birthstones, Opal and Tourmaline. Tourmaline is a favourite gemstone for many because it’s available in a rainbow of beautiful colours. Opal gemstones also found in an array of colours. Opals are considered a lucky charm that bring beauty, success and happiness to anyone who wears them. The early Greeks believed Opals gave them the powers of foresight and prophecy. The Romans also loved Opals; they considered them to be a symbol of hope and purity.

First Global Credit, the London-based bitcoin firm that enables cryptocurrency to be used as collateral margin to trade stocks, ETFs and commodity futures, reports over $12 million dollars’ worth of trading volume on the platform during the month of November.
First Global Credit. To unlock the Asian market, register now to the iFX EXPO in Hong Kong.
This new record tops the previous high set in February of 2016 when combined stock, futures and bitcoin to fiat currency trading on the site which totalled $2.1 million dollars.
“The explosive volatility in the US stock market following the US election of Donald Trump election caused a sharp increase in the number of new deposits followed by an increase in the size of trades being executed on the platform,” stated First Global Credit Founding Director Marcie Terman.
“This market volatility combined with conversations I am having with people about their fears following August’s Bitfinex hack has become clear that more and more bitcoin traders are looking critically at the exchanges they choose to work with. We are seeing a sharp rise in the size of customer accounts alongside more serious questions being asked before traders are willing to deposit actual funds in an account,” stated Ms. Terman.
Let your bitcoin work for you. No deposit bonus to study the basics of trading.
In July of 2016 First Global moved the service onto a new bank grade trading platform and over the last twelve months it has increased the number of markets available to trade on the platform by more than 30%. The company reports that a combination of new markets, new customers and old ones returning to the site has caused a jump of 600% in revenue for 2016 to date. | 2019-04-25T20:04:46 | http://binary-option-pro.com/first-global-credit/ | [

Do you know what it’s like to be hated. I mean really hated? To grow up with the belief that you would grow into something disgusting and evil? Told so often that you would grow to became a feared monster that you knew it to be fact. A creature who feeds on the souls of humanity.
Do you know what it does to a person to be constantly reminded that your birth was the cause of another’s death. To see the hate, and even fear, in the eyes of the one who is supposed to love and care for you the most?
How do you think you would feel growing up with your guardian telling friends and neighbours that you should not have survived your own birth? Then to have the whole town avoid and openly scorn you. To have your very existence regularly questioned and denied.
Do you understand how torment, self loathing and self blame can be a person’s constant companions throughout life, forever eating away at whatever passes for a soul in a doomed monster? That at a certain age you would cease to be human.
That is how I grew up. Being told I was condemned to be a ‘Monster" long before I knew that it referred to those who became Sime. As a child I had dreams of hideous overgrown creatures that looked nothing like a human. Then I dreamed of becoming a Sime with grotesque features and tentacles that controlled my mind and made me attack everyone I came near. In my dreams I could feel my tentacles draining the life from anyone I touched. I learned to fear myself as I got closer to my teens.
I had never actually seen one so I had no real idea of what they looked like but I feared them, and I feared becoming one even more.
Yes I grew up believing that when I became one of these Simes that my soul and my humanity would just shrivel up and die and the thing I would become would have no memory of the life before it. I would have no logic, no love, no compassion, and no humanity. I would only have an instinct for hunting and killing..
I think I feared myself more than my guardian ever did, but they never knew that and I doubt they would have cared anyway. I was cursed from birth. An accident that caused a death by merely being born.
When I was twelve years old I ran away. I wasn’t going to let the people of my home town see me become a monster and have the enjoyment of purging me from this earth. I wondered hungry and dirty for weeks, eating whatever fruit and bush food I could find. It was at the end of that fourth week that I saw my first Sime.
It looked human and as it spoke It sounded human. It wasn’t until I saw it’s arms that I realised what it was. All my nightmares and fears rose and I was so scared I couldn’t even move to save my life. The Sime just stood there. Why wasn’t it attacking me? That’s what they did wasn’t it? Maybe it was waiting for me to change as well and join it.
The longer we stood staring at each other the more I realised that it looked as scared as I did. Now I was confused. It was talking but I couldn’t understand the language.
It looked like it was trying to resist something. It dawned on me that it was talking to someone else who was off to my right but I was too frightened to take my eyes from the Sime in front of me.
With resignation to my fate I somehow relaxed a little. Maybe they hunted in pairs. I slowly turned to face the second one who I thought was sneaking up on me only to find that it was approaching the Sime and not me. As it got closer it held it’s arms out to the Sime. His arms were bare, he was not a Sime. He was human and he was willingly going to be killed. So that was why people were so terrified of them, they could control people’s minds and make them come to them.
This person was talking to the Sime, and in it’s own language. I was beyond confused by this point and stared at what I knew would soon be the death of this poor person. He looked calm and he even grinned at the Sime as his arms were grabbed roughly by it. I watched in horror as tentacles lashed viciously about the mans arms and was pulled hard against the Sime, their lips meeting.
Within about a minute, which felt like an hour, they parted. Instead of the human falling dead at the Simes feet it was the Sime that collapsed into the other’s arms. The man was talking soothingly to the Sime and it appeared comforted by this. It didn’t kill. The man didn’t die. Was everything I was told a lie? As if a spell had been broken I now felt the urge and ability to run. To run as far away as possible from….…. Before I even put thought into action the man called out to me and said not to be afraid.
He spoke English this time. He approached me saying that his friend, he called it his friend, was not going to hurt me. He said that I had "established" sometime during the last few months and that my "field" had enticed his friend. I had no idea of what that all meant except that I had the idea he was blaming me for his "friends" problem, whatever that was.
Well it’s now been two months since that time and I’ve learned a lot about Simes, and Gens. That’s what they call people. I am learning to help keep Simes from killing, and they say I’ll be really good at it some day.
Are Simes dangerous? Oh yes, and many do kill to stay alive. Are Simes monsters? Some, but not to the definition I grew up believing, and not in the sense of becoming mindless, soulless evil creatures. Monsters are not in the species, they are in the individual.
I went back home to visit, mainly to let them know I did not become what they all believed I would. I didn’t tell them of the Simes, the people, I met and now share my life with. They wouldn’t believe me anyway. I just wanted to show them I had survived something worse than a Sime’s attack, and that was their slow destruction of my heart and soul. They were the callous, cruel monsters and they couldn’t even see it.
I still fight the self hatred and that inner fear, that can’t be easily explained, deep inside. Being home awakened a lot that I had managed to bury.
Now that my guardian knows I’m human he wants me to come back. As if all those years had never happened, he now wants to show his love and acceptance of me. He wants me to love him in return.
What should I do? Should I now forgive him, and the town, their ignorance. Should I forgive my guardian his cruelty? I try but I don’t know if I can. What would you do? | 2019-04-25T21:42:29 | http://secretpens.org/zoe/whatwould.html | [

The Anti-terrorism Special Tribunal has accepted charges against eight persons in the Holey Artisan attack case.
The court also cleared Hasnat Karim of the charges on Wednesday.
Six of the accused were produced before the court during the hearing. They are Jahangir Alam alias Rajib Gandhi, Rashedul Islam alias Rash, Sohel Mahfuz alias Hatkata Mahfuz, Rakibul Islam Reagan, Mizanur Rahman alias Boro Mizan, and Hadisur Rahman Sagor.
Two others – Shariful Islam Khalid and Mamunur Rashid Ripon – are absconding. The court has issued arrest warrants for them.
It ordered Gulshan police to inform the court on August 16 about the progress on the arrest.
Bangladesh witnessed its worst terrorist attack when armed terrorists barged into an upscale eatery in Gulshan, popular with foreigners, at the heart of Dhaka’s diplomatic zone.
Five gunmen killed twenty-two people –nine Italians, seven Japanese, one Indian, one Bangladeshi-born American and four Bangladeshis – after they stormed the restaurant on July 1, 2016.
Police pressed charges against eight people in the case on July 23 this year. | 2019-04-23T20:38:45 | https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/court/2018/08/08/court-accepts-gulshan-attack-charge-sheet-acquits-hasnat | [

Where did all my fitness motivation go?
A few years back, I was so pumped to exercise and go to the gym.
I always made sure I never miss a workout.
It lasted a good while.
But, times have changed now.
The question I repeatedly ask myself today is this: "Where did all my fitness motivation go?"
I don't have that much time to workout anymore.
I haven't even ran a single mile for months now.
It's crazy. As of this writing, I've gained back all the weight that I lost in the last few years that I have been working out.
I can't seem to get that motivation back.
Right now, I'm thinking that that whole fitness thing in my life was just a phase and now it's over.
I don't know. Part of me is still hoping to be fit.
I just don't know how to re-activate it.
If anyone has any good ideas, please let me know. | 2019-04-20T13:08:44 | http://www.carloborja.com/2018/05/where-did-all-my-fitness-motivation-go.html | [

Your mates may have a good or negative expertise staying in a hotel. You may benefit from their expertise to weed good hotels from negative versions. In simple fact, it is the ideal way to be sure you don't remorse your selection at a later time. Moreover, persons don't use a particular attention if they suggest some thing to someone. So, you can rely on their suggestions.
Last of all, you might need to locate a hotel on the net at the same time. You may want to pay a visit to hotel evaluation internet websites where you may read loads of critiques left behind by other people who stayed at different hotels. These critiques will advise you when they got a good or negative expertise. It is an most suitable technique of trying to find a cheap hotel without having to spend money. You are going to just use your internet to look for the assistance you will need. | 2019-04-18T15:29:27 | http://tourparties.com/deal/2961089-treebo-c-plaza-india | [

Lighting matters: As they say in the photography world “lighting, lighting, lighting!” Lighting doesn’t just matter in a photo shoot, lighting matters in your every day lives as well. If you work in an office and spend a large amount of time staring at a screen it is important to adjust your monitor settings so as to not strain your eyes. The lights above your head make a huge difference as well, if they are producing too much light then your eyes will become fatigued from over-exposure, on the other side if the lights are too dim, then your eyes will get strained over time. It is recommended that you keep your source of light off to the side of you, rather than at your front or back.
Adapt your environment to your needs: It is a good idea to customize your environment to what is most comfortable for you. Using a large monitor or a screen magnifier for your computer helps to reduce symptoms of eye strain. Don’t sit too far back from your computer either, because that can cause your eyes to get strained. Believe it or not having a comfortable chair can do a lot for your eyes, because it reduces the amount of stress you put on your eyes when you are constantly adjusting how you are sitting for the best angle of view.
Don’t forget to blink: Statistics show that people blink a lot less when they are using digital devices, which causes your eyes to get strained over time. It is a good idea to remind yourself to give your eyes a break after once in a while in the office. You would be surprised at how much of a difference it makes when you take a moment to close your eyes for a few seconds every 20 minutes.
Magnify your text: If you already have vision complications then settings your text to be magnified for easier reading helps to reduce symptoms of eye strain. Just about every type of digital device has options to increase the size of the text on your screen to make it easier to read so you don’t have to squint so much. | 2019-04-24T15:57:42 | https://www.bergfeinfield.com/5-tips-to-help-protect-your-vision-in-a-digital-world/ | [

Pets360 is the perfect place to find cats for sale in Scotland. Our small team of animal lovers are primed to help you find your perfect pet, whether you’re looking for a kitten or an adult cat.
Simply type in your postcode and PetsYouLove will find cats from responsible breeders and rescue centres in your area. Below are some top tips when considering introducing a new feline friend into your home.
Just like humans, cats come in all shapes and sizes with different personalities too; they can be playful and energetic and lazy lovers of cat naps too!
Commitment is a key word in cat ownership because just like owning a dog, a cat is for life not just for Christmas! Cats can live for around 14-15 years, and so make lifelong and faithful friends who will love you back if treated with care and respect.
Many rescue centres are full of kittens waiting to be adopted by careful owners and the love of a little cat being given a second chance can be all the more joyful, so it’s worth checking out rescue centres as well as breeders online for your perfect pet.
If you’d prefer to find a purebred kitten for sale in Scotland with PetsYouLove, be sure to research the breed and check for any health problems that purebred cats can be prone to. Once you know that you’re fully committed and able to look after a cat, choose a breeder carefully to ensure these kittens have been well looked after, reared well to date, and don’t take any kitten for sale under the age of 8 weeks old as it’s imperative for kittens to be with their mothers until this stage.
Key to finding and keeping a healthy cat is visiting the kittens in the environment where they have been bred; where you can also see the mother and check that she is healthy.
Arrive armed with a list of questions to ask the breeder or rescue centre to get as much history as possible and parental information on your chosen cat.
You’ll want to know who bred the cat? Always meet the breeder and see where the kitten has been reared.
Is the litter healthy? Have the kittens been heath checked by a vet, have they been vaccinated or treated for anything? A healthy kitten should have bright eyes, be sociable and alert.
Has the kittens / mother been wormed and vaccinated? If the mother hasn’t the kittens could be more prone to health problems. Kittens are often born with worms, so it’s wise to have them treated too. Ask the breeder for details.
Where have the kittens been kept? Many breeders will keep kittens in a kitchen environment to increase their confidence.
Have they been socialised / handled by many people? This is important as kittens who have lots of human contact when they’re young make confident adult cats who feel safe around people.
Are the kittens microchipped? This is important but it’s also something you can do yourself.
Now you’ve committed to getting a cat for sale or rescue in Scotland on PetsYouLove, preparation is key. You need to kitten-proof your home!
Cats are territorial, so it’s wise to prepare a small room that the cat can call his own. Prepare a small room (a bathroom or utility room would work) that you can furnish with cat amenities, including food and water and a litter box and maybe a toy or two. Make sure there’s enough room in there so that you can sit with your cat, so he can get used to you.
Set up a feeding station with food and water and keep it away from the litter tray as the cat will not want food near his toileting area.
Cats love small spaces, so if you picked the cat up in a cat carrier, place this in the room as he will love a hidey-hole in his own area. Or you can make one from a cardboard box.
Cats also need to wear their claws down and they need to scratch to do this. You can fashion a scratching board by laying corrugated cardboard on the ground or buy a scratching post which will allow the cat to stretch his claws and scratch on. Sprinkle some cat nip on the post or put a toy at the top and the cat will soon make this his best friend – a much better scratch resource than your good furniture!
Look out for areas in your home where cats could climb; on top o kitchen units, etc. And make sure you remove any items of value that the cat could knock off if he does decide to climb up there.
Also be aware of any small enclosures that small kittens could get into and close them up. No one needs the fire brigade ripping their floorboards up to find a kitten!
Going to pick your cat up is an exciting part in the process of owning an animal, so investing in a cat carrier is a good idea. Once you have your cat in the carrier it will feel safe as moving to a new environment if a big upheaval for a kitten.
Once home, take the kitten to its specially prepared room and give him time to adjust. Sit on the floor with the kitten and let him come to you, never force the animal as he may take fear and stick to his cat carrier ‘hidey hole’ whenever you are around. Likewise, introduce new people to the cat in the same way, slowly and in the cat’s environment.
Your little cat may not eat much at all when it first comes home and it’s best to give him the same food he had while staying with the breeder.
Within a week of adoption take your new addition to the vet for a check-up and introduction and take along any immunization documents that you’ve been given with the breeder.
After a couple of weeks, you will be able to allow the cat to explore new rooms in the home one room at a time, but continue with the gentle approach and remind members of the family not to startle him.
Good luck with finding your perfect cat in Scotland with PetsYouLove!

Lacey Brockman looked up from her computer screen, tension spiking through her.
She shook it off. The old house turned office in downtown Murphy, North Carolina, creaked and groaned on a regular basis. Her boss would have locked the doors on his way out. Ruben was good like that.
She squinted at the computer screen in her basement office. Earlier that afternoon, she’d had a complaint about delayed payments. Ruben had said he’d research it later.
But tomorrow was Friday, and he was leaving on vacation for nine days. Chirbani Clinic was one of Advanced Medical Billing’s biggest clients. Not someone she wanted to leave hanging.
Another creak sounded, long and plaintive. She tightened her hand around the mouse. It was only 7:00 p.m. But in early January, the sun set sooner than that. Everything was dark outside the wide, squat windows set into the top of one wall.
She rolled her shoulders. Her ex would be smart enough not to accost her at her place of employment. Especially now that she had the restraining order. In fact, for the past two weeks, the threatening notes had stopped, and she hadn’t seen the silver 370Z sitting kitty-corner from her house or business since.
As she returned to the dates and amounts on her screen, tension crept across her shoulders. Why had she never noticed the almost incessant groans the house emitted?
Because she wasn’t used to being there alone. Six others worked with her, and the office was usually filled with activity—the shuffling of papers, the click of computer keys, brief conversations at the water cooler.
Now she’d gotten herself spooked. For no reason other than that she had an overactive imagination. No one was upstairs. She’d have known if someone had kicked in the door or broken a window. Besides, what she’d heard wasn’t footsteps. More like faint crackling and creaking.
She fished her cell phone from her purse and crept toward the stairs, ready to dial 911 if needed. An odor wafted to her, faint, then growing stronger—pungent, hot, smoky.
She raced up the steps two at a time and flung open the door. Thick gray smoke rolled past her down the hall. She clasped a hand over her mouth and nose and ran into the open living room and dining area.
Flames licked at the partitions dividing the perimeter into four work areas. The entire entry was ablaze, the fire sweeping across the floor. She’d escape out the back, then call for help.
As she passed the kitchen, her heart stuttered. It was even worse there. Flames engulfed all the cabinets and were working their way up the walls. Smoke curled toward her, stinging her eyes.
She turned the dead bolt and flung open the door. It moved about two inches and jerked to a stop. Her heart slammed against her rib cage in an erratic rhythm. Someone had trapped her inside.
She tried to tamp down her panic. The building had probably shifted, binding the door. She just needed to force it open. She stepped back and threw her weight against it. It didn’t move. Something seemed to be holding it closed from the outside.
Panic flared anew. Her lungs burned, and her body screamed for oxygen. Unable to hold her breath any longer, she grabbed a fistful of her shirt and pressed it to her face.
When she drew in a gulp of air, her throat closed by reflex, and a coughing fit drove her to her knees. With shaking hands, she dialed 911. When the dispatcher answered, all she could manage was a raspy croak and more coughing.
After dropping the phone, she rose, stumbled to the nearest window and flipped the locks into the open position. It wouldn’t budge. The wooden window frame had been sealed permanently shut by decades of painting and repainting. Two others were the same way.
In a last desperate attempt to escape, she picked up a chair and slammed it against the window. She’d have to break more than just glass. The wood that separated the six-by-nine panes would have to be destroyed before she could climb to safety.
Glass shattered and wood splintered. Each effort brought on more coughing. Darkness encroached on her vision.
The sirens were closer. But not close enough.
She fell to her knees. Ivan. He’d warned her. If he couldn’t have her, he’d make sure no one else could, either. The restraining order meant nothing. God, please help me.
The sirens had died away. A few feet away, the back door swung open, and a flashlight beam swept through the smoke.
“Over here.” Had the words made it past her lips? She tried again and more coughing overtook her. The flashlight was closer now.
She stretched out a hand. A gloved one grasped it, and a fireman dropped to his knees beside her. Strong arms slid beneath her and lifted. She squinted, trying to see the face behind the plastic shield. But the darkness encroached further. | 2019-04-20T12:12:01 | https://www.millsandboon.co.uk/freereads/showchapter/?chapterid=2093 | [

Minion Productions is proud to offer this informal residency for independent touring artists. The Kathy George Indie Artist Residency is named after Grant Knutson's amazing grandmother, who lived in this cabin, that is, when she was not galavanting around the globe. After her death in 2015, Grant Knutson became one of the custodians of the cabin and thought it would be a great place for artists to utilize from time to time.
Basically, the place is a small A-frame cabin just outside Mount Rainier National Park. The residency is completely self-organised and suitable for the development of self-directed projects. Though the cabin is (currently) offered free of charge to any artist awarded a residency, artists will have to fund themselves (i.e. supplies, food, transportation, etc.). The isolated living/workspace space is ideal for intensive focus on a project for short term stays of a long weekend up to a full week.
Visited by all sorts of wildlife and very close to the Mount Rainier National Park where there are stunning walks to be had.
No courses, exhibiting or performances on site allowed at this time. Bring your own food and necessary materials. The residency is meant for development and exploration of works-in-progress by independent touring/fringe artists: solo performers, magicians, playwrights, duos, clowns, burlesque performers and composers are encouraged to apply.
Partners allowed for overnight visits if room available.
Artists are selected on availability of cabin and particular project that is being developed and will be decided on a case-by-case basis.
Please contact Grant Knutson at grant@minionproductions.org for more information. | 2019-04-18T20:17:57 | https://minionproductions.weebly.com/kathy-george-indie-artist-residency.html | [

As we work in an international organization, we often get a question such as: “What is the right assessment for our country, an international assessment, a regional assessment, or our own national assessment?” This is probably due to the tremendous growth in the number of assessments.
Since the International Association for Evaluation of the Educational Achievement (IEA) implemented the first international mathematics study in the late 1950s, many large-scale assessments have appeared in the field, and much more countries have been participating in these assessment studies. For example, when OECD first implemented the Programme for International Student Achievement (PISA) in 2000, there were 28 countries who participated, while in 2012, this number increased to some 65. At the same time, there have been a number of regional assessments that have collected assessment data since the 1990s. These include Southern and East Consortium for Monitoring Educational Quality (SACMEQ), Programme d’Analyse des Systèmes Educatifs des Pays de la CONFEMEN (PASEC), Laboratorio Latinoamericano de Evaluación de la Calidad de la Educación (LLECE), etc. Many countries have also established national assessments, it has been reported that most of the countries have conducted at least one national assessment since 2000, the year of the Dakar EFA conference.
There is no straight answer to the question, but certain issues must be considered in order to decide which assessment might be most appropriate for your country.
1. Subject matter – What subjects are considered important in your country? They could be basic cognitive skills such as mathematics, reading, and science. How about life skills, such as health knowledge, global citizenship, sustainable development knowledge, entrepreneurship? Most of the international and regional assessments deal with the basic cognitive skills. This was the case for the initial SACMEQ study; however, during the SACMEQ Assembly of Ministers in 2005, Ministers wished to have information on the level of HIV and AIDS knowledge of the Grade 6 pupils. A new initiative, South East Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM), which is organized by the UNICEF and South East Asia Ministries of Education Organization (SEAMEO) is planning to measure global citizenship, based on the regionally common values.
2. Test framework – Do you want to see if the students have acquired the knowledge taught at school, or see if the schools prepared students to be ready for the world of work? Most of the assessments, such as IEA’s TIMSS, PIRLS, as well as regional assessments such as SACMEQ, PASEC, and LLECE are based on the school curriculum. For example, in the 1990s when Zimbabwe launched its first national assessment, the concern was to see if the intended school curriculum was actually implemented by the teachers and achieved by the pupils, and therefore, this became the model for SACMEQ. On the other hand, PISA and PISA for Development are exceptions, where the test framework is rather forward looking and assesses the students’ competencies to be demonstrated in a totally novel situation.
3. Target population – Which grade level or age level needs to be assessed? Are you concerned about the early grade pupils who need to be diagnosed? Then what language should be used for the tests? If the local mother tongue is used as the language of instruction, then standardization of such variety of test forms could be a big challenge. On the other hand, you may be challenged if you administer the tests in a unique language at this early level. This was the reasons in which SACMEQ countries opted for Grade 6. While PASEC also test at Grade 6, they also test Grade 2, and therefore a careful test construction and test operation would be required. IEA’s TIMSS administers at Grade 4, as well as Grade 8 to see the progress between these two grades. Even if you are concerned about the comprehension of school subjects at the end of the cycle, the question may not be about which grade level, but which age level. The grade-based target population is the norm when the test framework is based on the school curriculum, prescribed for different grade levels. However, PISA and PISA for Development use the age-level target population, 15 years of age. The challenge for many developing countries using the age-based target population is the large proportion of the students who may belong to different grade levels or different cycles due to repetitions or late entries to schools, or already dropped out of the system.
4. What to do with the assessment data – What is the purpose of measuring the learning achievement? If it is for a certification of a cycle or selection into a higher cycle, then public examinations would be sufficient. If the countries would like to connect the achievement data with other background information such as teacher characteristics, teacher performance, school resources, home background, etc., then background questionnaires are required. You may be also interested in evaluating the competency of teachers. In this case, a teacher test must be considered, as was the case for SACMEQ studies since 2000. This allowed SACMEQ policy makers to realize not only the teachers’ pedagogical skills but also the subject knowledge was critical for learning improvement. Does the international and/or regional assessment that you are about to join include the kind of information that are the priority area of the Ministry?
5. Research capacity needs – The Ministries of Education will have to ensure that they have the technical capacity to carry out the assessment. This includes the sampling of schools and students, test construction and item analyses, data processing, data analyses, and report writing. The advantage of belonging to regional or international assessments would be that the same methodology is shared and a common capacity building is usually provided by the technical teams for the participating members. In certain cases, participating member countries could collaborate and help each other, as experienced by some SACMEQ countries.
6. Ownership – Capacity building should lead to the countries’ ownership of the assessment study. This includes ownership of the data, instruments, and all the methodologies. This would allow countries to do more autonomous secondary data analyses using the data collected, after the international and/or regional reporting, so that the assessment results and policy recommendations could be also linked back to the original policy concerns. Both SACMEQ and PASEC use this strategy where country teams are responsible for producing more focused analyses.
The Ministry may be also interested in joining all of the existing international and regional assessment networks, as well as conducting its own national assessment. But we need to remember that to improve quality of education, it's not the level of participation in assessment studies that matters, it's the way assessment results are used. After all, the assessment is merely one small part within the policy reform.
Running Shoe Fit Tips Foot size: Shoe lasts (which determine shoe sizes) vary by manufacturer and even from one www.bootsshoppingonline.com shoes shoe model to another. http://www.bootsshoppingonline.com . sale. You may need a half-size or even a full size smaller or larger than you think. If you're unsure, have http://www.bootsshoppingonline.com shoes your feet measured. http://www.bootsshoppingonline.com. Try on shoes at the end of the day. Your feet normally swell a bit during the day's activities and http://www.bootsshoppingonline.com will be at their largest then. This helps you avoid buying that are too small. http://www.bootsshoppingonline.com. Aim for a thumbnail's length of extra space in the toebox. The width should be snug but allow a bit of room for your foot to move without rubbing. Laces should be snug but not tight. Barefoot shoes are an exception: Heel and toes should “fit like a glove”without any extra http://www.bootsshoppingonline.com space in the toes.
What an inspired and insightful writing . I love the last bit. What do we do with the results..
I like this presentation. I contains all the necessary information about issues involved in deciding to participate in international assessments or organize national assessments.Thank you for the contribution.
This paper does help to explain the issues involved in carrying out or choosing regional and international assessments. It does raise the question of why would a country which has carried out a national standardized test at Grade 6 for over 50 years employ a regional body to do this test. Is there concern that the national test is not adequately testing the curriculum? Will the outcome change in regional assessment? These are my questions for these changing approaches.
Very comprehensive and imparts the necessary issues that needs to be analyzed while making decisions to make a choice on large scale regional and international assessments. | 2019-04-20T21:04:06 | http://www.wise-qatar.org/international-assessment-mioko-saito | [

When choosing components for low volume vehicles many suppliers will only provide 'off the shelf' components. These are unlikely to fully satisfy your requirements. Making the correct trade-off between cost, availability and performance is always difficult. Engineering Inspiration have faced this dilemma on many occasions and understand how to reach a mutually beneficial agreement between the component supplier and the system specifier. | 2019-04-20T14:22:53 | http://engineeringinspiration.co.uk/component.html | [

Home Gypsie Fashion Shop Like A Gypsie!!!
When most people think of gypsie’s they think of rags from a thrift store or maybe just throwing non-matching pieces together. But it’s really not cheap in the places we shop. Now some call it Boho fashion but I like to refer to it as Gypsy fashion. In the video above I went to only 2 main stores of my pick and the first one was Anthropology, they have some amazing comfy pieces with prices starting at $78.00. There were 4 choices and you guys picked choice number 1.Shirt dress this material was very cool and soft and that is what separates it from just wearing your boyfriends’ oversized shirt, and let’s not forget the pockets those where pretty cool.
Our next stop was LUxury Gypsie Fashion and that was Jhonny Was which the whole line is based on the Boho Gal (gypsies) They always have a way of making getting dressed look so easy however they are not cheap, You guys picked choice number 1 and that was the hand-stitched Kimono that cost a small $2900.00 yap! you heard me allow me to spell it out for you twenty-nine hundred dollars. The handmade garment is pricy because if the time and hard work it took to make this happen and the material is real silk. Don’t always judge a book by its cover I know a lot of times us Gypsies seem like we just have on rags but trust and believe it cost so much more than what you think. Now don’t get me wrong you can still kill the fashion scene and not spend 1/4 of those prices but we are into quality just like everyone else. BUT YOU AIN’T HEARD IT FROM ME CAUSE, I AIN’T THE ONE TO GOSSIP! | 2019-04-20T21:03:16 | https://avegangypsie.com/shop-like-a-gypsie/ | [

BELIZE CITY, Thurs. Jan. 4, 2018– On the second day of the New Year, a second, senseless murder shocked Belize City residents. Shortly after 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, January 2, the sickening sound of gunfire disturbed the tranquility of suburban life in the Belama Phase 2 area.
Two men, with their faces covered, waited for a couple to return to their Belama home, located on Maurice Bishop Street, and when they appeared, the men opened fire, fatally hitting the man and injuring his wife.
Police reported that when they arrived on the scene around 7:40 p.m., they observed the motionless body of a man who was apparently dead on the stairs of a two-storey building. He had what appeared to be several gunshot wounds to the body, a police report said.
The man, Jermaine Ryan Vellos, 37, a Belizean who resides in Queens, New York and is employed as a warehouse machine operator, was shot multiple times to the body, while his wife, Stephanie Nicole Foreman Vellos, 29, a sales clerk in Belize City, sustained gunshot wounds to the right leg and was grazed on the left hand.
The couple was rushed to the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital, where a doctor pronounced Jermaine Vellos dead on arrival, a police report said.
Today, police confirmed at their press conference that it indeed appeared to be a case of mistaken identity, because the man who was killed has dreadlocks just like another man who resides at the same house.
Police also confirmed that they have a person of interest, who they believe approached the house from the river.
A neighbor who spoke to Vellos’ family told reporters, yesterday morning, that the family believes that it is a case of mistaken identity.
The family, however, has refused all media interviews.
At the time of the shooting, the couple’s 6-month-old baby girl was upstairs with other relatives.
Jermaine Vellos was married about two years ago and was scheduled to fly back to his New York home today, Thursday. | 2019-04-19T13:35:07 | https://amandala.com.bz/news/vacationing-belizean-murdered-belama/ | [

On Tuesday, Apple refreshed its MacBook Pro line, reconfiguring the laptops with the latest Core i5 and Core i7 processors based on its Haswell architecture, replacing previous chipsets with an Intel graphics processor dubbed "Iris," and putting the new models on a modest diet.
The 13-in. MacBook Pro is 5% thinner and 3% lighter, for example.
Apple also reduced prices by $200, from $1,499 to $1,299 for the least expensive 13-in. laptop, and from $2,199 to $1,999 for the 15-in. model. Those cuts represented price decreases of 13% and 9%, respectively.
Since the start of the year, Apple has slashed the price of the entry-level 13-in. Retina MacBook Pro by 24%.
The MacBook Pro was Apple's second notebook line this year to see price cuts. In June, Apple rolled out tweaked MacBook Airs at prices 7% to 8% lower than their predecessors.
Historically, the Cupertino, Calif., company has rarely lowered Mac prices, preferring instead to keep those stable but swap newer, faster processors for older CPUs, add more memory or increase storage.
But times are different, said Stephen Baker of the NPD Group.
"Apple's very high premium pricing is getting more difficult to sustain in this environment," said Baker, talking about the historic slump in the personal computer industry, now into its sixth straight quarter. "They needed to bring the pricing more in line with the overall market."
Apple has been having a harder time selling Macs, just as has virtually every other computer maker. In the quarter that ended June 30, Apple sold 7% fewer Macs than it did during the same period the year prior, for instance.
The price cuts were also an admission by Apple that tablets continue to cannibalize sales of laptops, said Baker. "Apple's portion of the $1,000-plus PC market is not quite as big as it used to be," he noted. "They've had some cannibalization in their higher buckets."
That cannibalization has come from both tablets and lower-priced notebooks, including Apple's own MacBook Air line, said Baker. And also, in a small way, from touch-based Windows portables and the even more radical designs known as "convertibles," "hybrids" or "2-in-1s."
"In the past year, premium-priced Windows [devices] have seen pretty decent growth," said Baker. "They're starting from very low volumes, but that's still growth."
Unlike Windows OEMs (original equipment manufacturers), Apple has an advantage when it comes to tablet cannibalization: It can sell its own iPad and at least keep customers within its garden.
Apple has actually reveled in the trend. "I see cannibalization as a huge opportunity for us," said CEO Tim Cook during a January 2013 conference call with Wall Street. "One, our base philosophy is to never fear cannibalization. If we do, somebody else will just cannibalize it, and so we never fear it. We know that iPad will cannibalize some Macs [so] that doesn't worry us."
Baker thought that was smart.
"They get retail, and one of the key pieces of retail is that products get cannibalized," said Baker. "But it's always better to cannibalize your own rather than let someone else do it, even if it costs [you] some margin."
On Tuesday, Cook reaffirmed Apple's stake in the personal computer market, perhaps responding to talk over the last several weeks that Apple might -- and in some analysts' minds, should -- mimic Microsoft and force the iPad into 2-in-1 duty as a light-weight laptop by adding a keyboard.
"Our competition is different. They're confused. They chased after netbooks. Now they're trying to make tablets into PCs, and PCs into tablets," Cook said at the rollout of the new iPads. "[But] we have a very clear direction and a very ambitious goal. We still believe deeply in this category [of traditional notebooks] and we're not slowing down on our innovation."
Apple also dumped the 15-in. non-Retina MacBook Pro from its sales list on Tuesday, leaving only the 13-in. model as a not-with-Retina choice. That notebook relies on a 500GB platter-style hard disk drive rather than an SSD (solid-state drive) and is the last of Apple's laptops to include a built-in DVD drive. The 13-in. MacBook Pro starts at $1,199, now just $100 less than the bottom-end 13-in. Retina MacBook Pro. | 2019-04-26T00:42:17 | https://www.computerworld.com/article/2486666/apple-cuts-macbook-pro-prices-up-to-13-.html | [

I was wondering what sort of BHP and Torque needed to get in.
Say I have a early panel, there is no interior, straight axle and lowered (if that makes some difference to E/T times - air resistance).
I know gearbox ratios and tyre size will affect performance, but there must be a minimum amount of energy needed to get the times needed.
Looking at engine options, so could do with some advice. I already have a type 4 with twin 40's IDF (both under the workbench). I also have an AS41 case.
Approx 120 plus horsepower is what's needed.
I had a type IV with a set of 40's and a good BAS exhaust and it just scraped in with a 17.8 - I thought it would be a lot quicker than that.
Reckon with a stripped out panel you may get away with a little less power but not much unless you're going to put a really short ration box in it.
Cheers Orb, I take it that is 120 at the flywheel. What sort of torque did your engine produce?
Yep, 120 at the flywheel.
Not sure what torque it made, never had it on the dyno so the 120bhp is a bit of a "seat of the pants" dyno having had a number of fast motors and knowing what sort of times others have run and what power they're making.
Careful or you will get hooked! I started with an 1835cc motor and couldn't get near the 18s iirc so went to 2332, then 2332 with fuel injection and turbo and now I'm on nitrous also so probably about 450bhp plus if I want.
I struggled to get under 18 for quite a while as it looked easy but I soon found it to be quite a skill in getting everything to come together.
Five years down the line I'm chasing 12s, my PB is 14.1 without nitrous and being conservative off the line.
That's my ultimate goal anyway.

Thanks, well I have a type 4 from a 1700 fuel injection 411, did have 2 litre heads barrels and pistons etc. but sold then when I was skint!. Am I right in thinking that the 1700 puts out about 75hp, and the 2 litre 90ish. So it sounds like you have to tune a 2 litre quite a bit to get the times!!
In the early 90's I had a bay that I put in a 2 litre that I had tuned up (well polished the heads and threw it together). It used to go really well (erm drank petrol), until it spat out a valve guide at 80...Going to have to build something properly this time.
The Porsche 914 1700cc put out 80hp but the Bus 1700cc only 66HP, and again the Porsche 2.0 made 94HP but the 2.0 bus engine only 69HP.
it's all in the engine code and the fuel incjection system. Some 412s had the same engine as the VW/Porsche 914.
This pushed my beetle to a personal best of 16.01 with the belt on, and 15.53 with the Belt off. | 2019-04-21T02:48:00 | https://www.ssvc.org.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=104607 | [

Multiple goodies on a single chipset? Yes, it's Qualcomm again, this time spreading word at MWC of its new Gobi modems. These will be the first to support both HSPA+ Release 10 (84Mbps on dual carriers) and LTE-Advanced, while two of the new Gobis (the MDM9225 and MDM9625) will additionally support true LTE Category 4 with carrier aggregation, for increased bandwidth across multiple radio channels and speeds of up to 150Mbps. The chips also boast lower power consumption thanks to their 28nm fabrication process, and are backwards compatible with older standards like GSM, EV-DO Advanced, TD-SCDMA and both FDD and TDD types of LTE. Hungry for more 3LAs? You'll find plenty in the press release below.
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM) today announced that its next generation Gobi™ modem chipsets, the MDM8225™, MDM9225™ and MDM9625™ chipsets, will begin sampling in Q4 2012 and will be the first to support both HSPA+ Release 10 and the next-generation of the LTE mobile broadband standard, LTE Advanced. The MDM9225 and MDM9625 chipsets are also the first to support LTE carrier aggregation and true LTE Category 4 with data rates of up to 150 Mbps and give network operators increased broadband speeds across their LTE service areas. Implemented in a 28nm manufacturing process, the chipsets will feature significant improvements in performance and power consumption from previous generations and provide support for multiple mobile broadband technologies to deliver a best-in-class mobile broadband experience for smartphones, tablets, ultra-portable notebooks, portable hotspots, dongles and CPEs (Customer Premises Equipment).
LTE carrier aggregation is an important technology that combines multiple radio channels within and across bands to increase user data rates, reduce latency and enable Category 4 capabilities for operators without 20 MHz of continuous spectrum. The MDM9225 and MDM9625 chipsets are the only mobile broadband chipsets currently supporting carrier aggregation that allow OEMs to build devices that can take full advantage of LTE Advanced networks.
The MDM9225 and MDM9625 chipsets are Qualcomm's third generation of LTE modem chipsets. In addition to supporting both LTE Advanced (LTE Release 10) and HSPA+ Release 10 (including 84 Mbps dual carrier HSDPA), they are backward compatible with other standards including EV-DO Advanced, TD-SCDMA and GSM. The chipsets contain the industry's only modems to integrate 7 different radio access modes on a single baseband chip: cdma2000 (1X, DO), GSM/EDGE, UMTS (WCDMA, TD-SCDMA) and LTE (both LTE-FDD and LTE-TDD). This will allow OEMS to design mobile devices that can operate on the increasingly diverse set of radio network deployments and configurations used worldwide.
"Our newest generation of Gobi modem chipsets will allow mobile device OEMs to design products that can operate on nearly any mobile broadband network worldwide," said Cristiano Amon, senior vice president of product management, Qualcomm. "In addition to supporting the latest mobile broadband technologies, these chipsets improve over Qualcomm's previous 7-mode 28nm LTE chipsets (MDM9x15) by offering a reduction in power consumption and overall board area, enabling OEMs to design smaller, sleeker devices with longer battery life."
The third-generation Gobi modem chipsets also have an integrated application processor and hardware accelerators with a feature rich, Linux-based application development environment and optional mobile access point software stack. Customers can differentiate their MDM8225/9x25 chipset based devices by using the application development environment to create value-added applications. When paired with the Qualcomm Atheros AR6003 or AR6004 chipsets, the mobile access point software stack enables customers to design high performance, low power portable and fixed 802.11n routers. These routers would deliver up to 150 Mbps data connections to Wi-Fi-capable devices.
The MDM8225 chipset supports UMTS only devices, the MDM9225 chipset supports LTE and UMTS devices and the MDM9625 chipset supports LTE, UMTS and CDMA2000 devices. All three chipsets are expected to begin sampling in Q4 2012. | 2019-04-18T23:12:58 | https://www.engadget.com/2012/02/27/qualcomm-outs-new-gobi-modem-chipsets/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&ncid=rss_semi&utm_campaign=Engadget | [

Considering the time of year, the weather today was not that bad – sunny pretty much all day and heading toward 20c. We took a trip over to Orce market, which was a little disappointing but while there we noticed a sign for the museum and headed over there. A small entrance on the outside hides a 16th century very nice building which houses the museum.
Once inside we were welcomed in and given full instructions in English before being left to roam freely, not signs to tell you not to use your camera, no big-brother cameras. Very civilised.
We left the museum towards lunchtime and headed over to Huescar (just a few kilometres apart) where FINALLY after much effort and wasted money I found some solder that actually works at the local Ferreteria. There was most likely nothing wrong with my original soldering iron – just the cheap rubbish Chinese crappy solder they supplied with and sold separately from the irons – hard to imagine as to why a retailer could be so thick as to sell soldering irons along with solder that isn’t suitable for those irons – but there you have it. Anyway, along the way today I took some photos and here they are. You can click any photo to enlarge it. | 2019-04-21T18:45:54 | https://www.bedrock.es/a-morning-in-orce/ | [

Micron Technology (MU) stock is climbing Tuesday after the company reported third-quarter earnings and revenue above analysts' estimates.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Micron Technology (MU - Get Report) stock is climbing Tuesday after the company reported third-quarter earnings and revenue above analysts' estimates.
Over its May-ended quarter, the semiconductor specialist earned 79 cents a share, 9 cents higher than what analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected. Revenue of $3.98 billion beat forecasts of $3.89 billion.
By early afternoon, shares had popped 5% to $32.83.
"We rate MICRON TECHNOLOGY INC (MU) a BUY. This is driven by a few notable strengths, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, solid stock price performance, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income and notable return on equity. Although the company may harbor some minor weaknesses, we feel they are unlikely to have a significant impact on results." | 2019-04-19T09:05:32 | https://www.thestreet.com/story/12755137/1/why-micron-technology-mu-stock-is-up-today.html?puc=CNNMONEY&cm_ven=CNNMONEY | [

A Tautliner truck, also known as a curtainside truck is typically used as a generic name to describe trucks with curtained side panels. The curtains are fixed on to runners at the top and bottom so they can be easily opened for loading and unloading. The name Tautliner is actually a trade name of a commercial vehicle built in England.
The tautliner is a flatbed trailer that has fixed curtains and is enclosed to allow for loose deliveries of cargo or a collection of loose cargo. The side curtains provide protection for cargo against the elements to ensure safe transportation.
Our transport office and site is at the port of Brisbane which makes it ideal for collecting any import containers from the wharf and delivering them throughout south-east Queensland.

quadratically constrained programming problems. For linear programming, the algorithms include primal simplex algorithm, the dual simplex algorithm, the network simplex algorithm, as well as a barrier method. For mixed integer programming models, CPLEX uses branch-and-cut algorithm. CPLEX can solve both convex and non-convex quadratic to global optimality. CPLEX has both barrier and simplex algorithms for solving convex quadratic programs and a barrier algorithm for solving non-convex problems.
Resource Planning Models address the supply and demand side investment decisions an energy supplier makes to ensure that it can satisfy customer demand. The objective is to minimize the total cost of building and operating production facilities to serve forecasted loads over a multiyear planning period.

Unit Commitment/Economic Dispatch Models are used to schedule hourly production of thermal power stations for periods up to about a week in advance. The objective is to minimize the short-term costs of operating the generators to serve forecasted customer loads. The costs include both fuel costs and start-up costs. The constraints represent the requirement to serve hourly customer loads, various reserve requirements, minimum uptimes and downtimes for generators, and ramping limits for generators.

Hydro/Thermal Scheduling Models are used to determine the use of water resources in power systems with a lot of hydroelectric generation. The objective is to minimize the short-term costs of operating the power plants to serve forecasted customer loads. The costs include thermal power plants’fuel costs, since hydro generation typically has negligible direct costs. The constraints represent the requirement to serve customer load per hour, the availability and flow of water through the supporting water network, various reserve requirements, various restrictions on water flows and reservoir volumes reflecting environmental regulations.

Optimal Power Flow/Security Constrained Dispatch Models are used to determine the flows of power along the various transmission paths in a power network for the purpose of evaluating the feasibility, reliability and security of the power system. The objective is to minimize the operating cost of serving the load. The constraints represent the requirement to serve instantaneous customer load at all nodes of the network, the generator capacity limits, conservation of power flow and voltage laws governing the physical power flows (which may be represented nonlinearly), and various reserve, security and reliability criteria.

Contract and Risk Management Models enable energy and power companies to implement profitable bidding strategies while limiting price and volume risks to acceptable levels. The objective is to determine volume and price for possible energy transactions and emission credits bought or sold in order to maximize expected net returns. The constraints represent forward price curve uncertainty and volatility, and impose limits on value at risk and conditional value at risk.

generally refers to the pointed, coarse teeth, texture hard wood screws, but also aluminum alloy, plastic. A special self-tapping screw used for threading a metal hole is called a tap.Self-tapping screws are used for non-metallic or soft metals, not bottoming holes and tapping; self-tapping screws are pointed, so as to "self-attack"; ordinary screws are flat, uniform thickness. The self-tapping screw is said to be: The drilled hole is a hole that does not require tapping. The screw used is different from the general one. The head is pointed and the pitch is relatively large. It is similar to the tapping without tapping. It can be directly screwed in without tapping. Metals and plastics usually use this method. | 2019-04-24T04:12:00 | http://www.link-bridge.com/products/show-htm-itemid-37700.html | [

This is the first part of a two-part article where Theresa Zanatta shows us how parents can be encouraged to create opportunities for their children to learn English at home.
If we accept that as teachers we need to invite, inform and coach parents in ways to become active participants in the development of their child's literacy and language skill development, then we must begin to think about how to go about putting this objective into practice.
In this article, I would like to focus on this important area of the home-school connection: how to reach out to parents to read with their children. I will outline the rationale behind this approach, and provide two classroom routines to help develop the connection. In the second article - The home-school connection 2 - I will provide three more classroom routines.
What do you think - true or false?
When families and educators and communities work together, schools get better.
We now know that parents have a critical role in developing their children's learning habits.
The most recent data concerning literacy scores (test scores for reading and writing) shows that schools that involve parents in developing reading habits at home have higher school reading scores than schools that do not.
Parents are an essential link in improving academic success.
Sending report cards home is not enough.
If you said true to all five of these statements then you are part of a growing body of educators who understand the importance of involving parents in their child's learning process.
Whether it's governments, school supervisors, administrators, directors, teachers, or parents themselves, anyone who is involved with teaching children knows that involving parents as a means for academic achievement is critical to success. Pursuing and achieving academic success is no easy matter. Yet the positive consequences of parent involvement have been well documented.
Allowing parents to question, comment on, and become aware of teaching practices and learning objectives is both informative and formative for parents and teachers and a critical part of creating opportunities for parents to become more involved in the development and review of their child's learning behaviour.
Specifically, encouraging parents, showing parents how, and inviting parents to become active, responsive, and responsible participants in their child's education and in particular, in their child's literacy and language development is in large part about getting families, parents, and kids reading and talking about reading together.
This invitation to parents to read with their children begins with any age (ready to read is ready to learn in any language!) and continues throughout the academic careers of our students.
Easier said than done, especially when most of us have been trained to be neither parent coaches nor reading teachers as well as English teachers. Here are two simple, systematic classroom routines that form part of the body of best teaching practices around the world. They can help you begin the process of inviting and involving parents in the journey to reading at home.
Set up and organize class time to create hands-on, student-made learning tools for students to take home regularly to show parents.
Things like flash cards; take-home storybooks; and realia such as puppets, game boards, sentence machines, personal picture dictionaries, and spelling boards are invaluable memory and speaking prompts for describing and explaining what students are doing and learning in English class.
I call these learning tools because they are much more than just simple cut, paste, and colour activities. Apart from providing irreplaceable opportunities for language development in all of the four skills, they also allow you to manage language diversity in the classroom by providing multisensory learning opportunities for students that cover the different ways that each and every one of your students learn.
Remember the old adage, a picture's worth a thousand words? Well, when these student-made learning tools go home, parents see what students are doing and learning, which is far more effective than their just being told about it. As students demonstrate how the learning tools are used, parents receive on-the-spot demonstrations of what is happening in English class.
Not only are these hands-on, student-made learning tools informative for the parents, but they are also formative for parents in that they demonstrate new ways in which their children are learning and interacting in the classroom. They are a tangible invitation to parents to participate and learn about how and what their child is doing in English.
Many parents aren't able to see the value of these learning tools or how language is developed, practised, and learned until they see them in use demonstrated by their child.
The English portfolio or English folder is an excellent organizational tool to facilitate and systematize parent involvement. When student-made learning tools such as those described above are readily accessible in an English folder or portfolio it is much easier and quicker for parents to see how students are progressing in all of the four skills.
All parents need to do is open the folder and see what has been done and when it was done. Progress, improvement, difficulties, and challenges are visually evident to even the most untrained eye.
What was created, brought home, demonstrated, and signed in September is and will be different from that which was created, brought home, demonstrated, and signed in October, and again different from that of November, and so on throughout the year.
These differences (or lack of differences in the case of no student progress) provide the firsthand evidence parents need to determine just how their child is doing and to invite them to participate in this continuum of personal development.
Theresa Zanatta is an author, teacher, teacher trainer and education consultant. She has been teaching English in Spain and Canada for more than 15 years, and she has given courses on ELT methodology in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Canada and the United States. | 2019-04-21T23:20:28 | http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/home-school-connection-1 | [

You have hundreds of camera manufacturers to pick from. Which one should you use? This is a tough but critical question impacting both integrators and users as it impacts product availability, training, discounts, support policies and more. We surveyed integrators around the globe to better understand how many manufacturers they carried and, more importantly, why they made the decisions they did. In this note, we analzye and share more than a dozen integrator comments.
As the chart below shows, despite there being hundreds of manufacturers, overwhelmingly integrators regularly use only a few.
Applications covered: A number of respondents answered that their main line covered the vast majority of their applications, but they turned to a second for specialized cameras, such as multi-megapixel or PTZ, or when their main line was outside the customer's budget.
Ease of support: Keeping the number of camera manufacturers to a minimum also helps to ease support costs. Less technician training is required, and efficiencies gained since installers are used to using a limited number of models regularly. Repairs and replacements are also simplified, since fewer models must be known and stocked for service calls.
"I have stuck to minimal manufactures as I have found some to be better in some areas than others. Rather than have a big mix of cameras in the field, a smaller mix has enabled me to maintain constant expectations of performance as well as reliability. It has also enabled me to negotiate better purchasing pricing which is able to passed on to the end user."
"Right now we install Sony & Panasonic pretty much exclusively with Sony being the majority. We are looking for a more cost effective solution for those jobs that are determined by price. We are comfortable with the quality and reliability of these lines even though the cost is higher than some others in the market. If we find the right line then we will definitely take it on. We just had issues in the past rolling out a big job with a new product and we had a high failure rate among some other issues. So it has been difficult for us find something else. Probably within the next few months we will be adding at least one more manufacturer to our arsenal."
"We are trying to keep our portfolio as narrow as possible, it would be best to have only one manufacturer, but customer likes to choose from few alternatives and looks suspicious, when you can't offer any alternatives, so 2-3 manufacturers are optimal. Another point is product range, often only combining different manufacturer's products you can get good results."
"We try to limit the number of manufacturers so our techs remain well trained. However, we do understand that every application demands a unique solution and there isnt a catch-all product to satisfy every application."
"95% of our cameras are deployed with Axis and Panasonic. We have recently picked up the Sony line as well, but that is about it. I do not like having too many 'lines' to support. I know that cameras are just 'edge devices', but they have complex feature sets that need to be configured for different applications, and our installers need to know which features fit each application."
"Keeping the number of manufacturers that we use to a low number has always been difficult for our company. We've always wanted to be everything to everyone, but spreading yourself across multiple manufacturers when it comes to IP video is very hard to do. On the technician side, keeping technicians trained on multiple models from multiple manufacturers is next to impossible. Installation suffers which causes a poor performing system which then creates an unhappy customer. Its important to have your installers be experts with every piece of product. On the business side of things, it is important to make sure you have the best purchasing power for the times when you need to really compete on bids. If you are selling thousands of a manufacturer's product, they are more likely to give you a deal at certain times than if you were just selling a hundred or so."
"No one manufacturer fits all scenarios, but two (Sony and Arecont) seem to fit 99% of all aspects including price, type, and quality of pictures. Where one comes up short, the other seems to fit the bill."
"We are a very service-centric and process oriented company. We made the decision to not take on too many manufacturers so we could make sure we have service stock and the knowledge to install and service what we do provide. We've also found that installing multiple manufacturer cameras on the same site causes problems both aesthetically to the customer and differences in video quality."
"Although there is a wide variety of manufacturers to choose from when it comes to IP cameras, when we have a choice of what cameras to install, we regularly deploy mainly Axis and Panasonic cameras. We have evaluated many different brands of IP cameras and have found these to be superior products with a great variety of different models and styles, excellent feature sets, and outstanding customer and technical support with a very low number of cameras that need to be returned for repair.. We are an Axis Gold Channel partner and have found having Axis as a partner has been very beneficial to our sales and installations."
Wide selection was the key determining factor for those regular using four, five, or more manufacturers regularly. The ability to choose from numerous manufacturers and models is beneficial when customer or specifications demand it. However, supporting a larger number of manufacturers is likely to increase training costs and installation time, as technicians spread their time across more lines.
"I think we have (and still are) looked at everybody on the sun. I think having a wide variety of cameras give us flexibility to design a quality and affordable solution for the client. Carrying a ton of lines really makes us a unique video VAR. If we have less lines, you limit yourself on where you can compete. We like the idea of being a best of breed integrator since we can take the best of each line and give the end user what we think will give them the best image quality for their site. Some lines you need for performance (Avigilon, Bosch, Axis, Sony) Some lines you need for cost effective reasons (Vivotek, ACTi,). Also some lines like Samsung no one really carries so it makes you unique in that sense too. The last set of lines you need to meet spec (Panasonic, Arecont, & Pelco) Some of this is because the marketplace is all over the place and every job is different with the end-user having totally different expectations on each job. However on our analog we have been all over the map too so this is nothing new really since Pelco began to falter many years ago."
"Because we regularly use cameras from more than 5 manufacturers. We use that many because we strive to meet customers at their need. If they have specified a particular manufacturer, we use that. If they need to meet a particularly tight budget, we look for products to fit that. If their existing infrastructure demands one over another, we use that. If we can make better margin and still keep the customer happy, we'll perhaps use something altogether different."
"We like our independence in camera manufacture which allows us to pick the right camera for the right application. That could be price/performance based, WDR or lens needs for example. We use Acti, Arecont, Axis, Panasonic, and Sony most often."
"The camera choices are driven by application requirements, bid specs, cost and performance. IMHO no one company has the best camera for all applications. We would like use as few as possible but the early promises of "universal IP compatibility" were ludicrous at best. We also cover a wide range of applications from residential to commercial, retail, institutional, MDU and they all have varying requirements. Within those segments you have "cost conscious" and "I want the best" variations which further drives the adoption of multiple camera lines. Between the 4 brands we focus on we have pretty much covered all of you application requirements to date."
Very few integrators answered that they were using one camera manufacturer only. These respondents answered that their main line has not created issues for them and fit most applications, so they turn to other manufacturers only occasionally.
"We have NEVER had issues with Mobotix. In the environments we do installations, PTZs are impractical and often fail due to either a heater/fan issue. We have been extremely pleased with Mobotix, but are considering other brands given their lack of protection in the channel."
"95% of the IP cameras we use are Bosch. Our market is perimeter security where night shots are very important, we have had very good results with Bosch so stick to that. Given this we generally install Bosch internally also, using a limited number of part numbers also makes support much simpler."
On the positive hand, rarely do integrators limit themselves only to a single manufacturer. However, as these practical considerations show, since it is difficult to carry many lines, integrators usually limit themselves to a few. While this helps them be expert in deploying and servicing those cameras, it also may mean that some will not recommend a camera even if it is overall better for an end user's needs. | 2019-04-26T06:02:47 | https://ipvm.com/reports/number-of-camera-manufacturers | [

Since it’s the part that’s responsible for cooling, keeping it clean promotes more comfort and better energy efficiency. It starts by keeping the air filter clean and ends with annual maintenance performed by a licensed professional.
Poor system performance. Dust that covers the coil acts as insulation and it will retard the cooling process. Air conditioners and heat pumps work by absorbing the heat that’s in the air via the refrigerant. The compressor in the outdoor condenser sends it into the condensing coil and that big fan in the condenser blows air over it to help dissipate the heat.
Mold or biofilm growth. Humidity condenses on the coil, which provides the perfect environment for mold and biofilm growth. Besides insulating the coil, mold spores can spread throughout your home and trigger allergic or asthmatic reactions.
A frozen coil. When this coil freezes over because it’s covered with too much dust or mold, it may freeze over. You may notice that your home is getting warmer even though the air conditioner is running continuously. The compressor could burn out, which is the system’s most expensive part. The melting frost or ice on the coil could flood the drain pan and damage the surfaces close to your air handler.
If you can reach the coil, look for dust and mold on the coil. You can use coil cleaners available from home improvement stores or make it part of the annual A/C tune-up.
If you want the lowest energy bills possible over the long, hot summer, keep the evaporator clean. For more information or schedule a tune-up, contact Hansberger Refrigeration and Electric Company, helpingYuma-area homeowners with their HVAC systems in the Yuma area since 1952. | 2019-04-21T07:02:02 | https://blog.hansbergerrefrig.com/2019/04/04/the-importance-of-maintaining-your-evaporator-coil/ | [

What is Google Lens and what can it do? We explain all about the Bixby Vision rival launched at Google I/O.
Google used its annual I/O developer event on Wednesday (17 May) to reveal Google Lens, an augmented reality application which uses a smartphone's camera to recognise and understand whatever it is pointed at.
The underlying technology is not new, and even appears on the Galaxy S8 smartphone in the form of Samsung's new Bixby Vision. But if the on-stage demonstrations are anything to go by, Samsung will be working quickly to get Bixby back in the race once Lens arrives later this year.
How does Google Lens work and what can it do?
Google Lens taps into the same artificial intelligence engine used to power Google Assistant, the Siri-like personal butler available on the Google Pixel and (as of today) the iPhone.
Google showed how Lens can be used to identify flowers by showing them to the camera - useful if you have an allergy. It is easy to imagine this feature working on a wide range of objects, animals and anything else you throw at it.
Lens can also, as Bixby Vision does, offer up information based on your surroundings. Point the camera at your local high street and you will be given star ratings of each restaurant or bar in front of you.
But Google Lens is a fair bit smarter than that. Show Lens the Wi-Fi network name and password on the back of your router, and the phone will automatically ask if you'd like to connect to the network, using the password on the router and saving this so that you connect automatically next time.
Point Google Lens at a billboard outside a theatre and it will recognise it, then offer up places to buy tickets, or more information about that particular show. Save the upcoming concert to your calendar with one tap, or find music by that artist to stream online with another.
Google is yet to say when Lens will be available, but we imagine it will arrive either as a software update to Google Assistant later in the year, or as part of Android O, also due later in 2017. | 2019-04-19T16:15:04 | https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/google-lens-what-samsungs-bixby-vision-wishes-it-was-1622119 | [

I'm feeling good about hosting my first Thanksgiving, and I yesterday I thought it might be fun to see how I might set my table up for Thursday's "big game."
I should begin with a disclaimer: I still haven't painted the dining room, my Decorating Dilemmas curio cabinet got shoved into a corner of the room to make way for a new thrifty find, my table isn't formal, and my "china" is a hand-me-down set that my Nannie got tired of in the 70s and gave to me a few years back.
Because my "china" has old lady blue roses on it, I thought it might be fun to do a blue and brown table to try and get some semblance of a theme in the dining room.
Then I added a $10 table cloth (yes, I know it needs to be ironed) from Wal-Mart and a scrap of burlap from my fabric stash as a "runner."
I added another layer with some chocolate brown placemats, also from Wal-Mart. $2 each, I believe.
I don't have any fine silver, so I wrapped our every day silverware in brown fabric napkins (also from Wal-Mart!) and tied them with twine.
For my Centerpiece, I grabbed my small glass "Thankful for His Grace" hurricane from Blessings Unlimited and some twiggy pumpkins from Target's Dollar Spot.
I'm going to ask my mom if I can borrow her crystal water glasses, and I have some cute brown and blue scrapbook paper that I might try to make some place cards with, but this is just the "rough draft."
Our menu is coming together, and I have a lot of the shopping done.
I also bought some apple cider to sip on throughout the day as we cook and watch the parade. Should be a blast!
*Megan over at Honey, We're Home is featuring my Black Friday post today. Hope you'll leave me some comment love there if you have a chance. Happy Tuesday!
Oh, Amanda!!!! It looks beautiful!!!! :D You are doing a fantastic job! How lovely! Now...RELAX and enjoy your time cooking and visiting with your family. That's the important rule...if you don't relax and have fun while you are doing it, its not worth it.
Gorgeous! I love the combo of blue and brown!
I plan on using burlap..but our colors will be browns, oranges with gold and silver--all natural elements - leaves, sticks, pine cones.
I must have forgotten you had that china! It's not old lady at all I love it!
Your table is going to be terrific! And I love that china!!! Not old lady looking...beautiful!! My plans are going to kids house with the grandkids all around. Will be fabulous! I have all the fixings and they will do the cooking. Good deal all around!
Looking good! Great idea to add brown with the blue.
Looking good Amanda! I'm so impressed you're using real china. One of these days I'll drag mine out of the tissue in the cabinet. HA! Love that hurricane with the pumpkins in it. Sooo cute! Hope y'all have a great time! I'm looking forward to our fried turkey too. YUM!
Your table looks wonderful. I think the dishes are really pretty.
It's coming together nicely! How fun. Makes me wish we were hosting Thanksgiving this year, sigh.
Very beautiful!!! I love the rustic burlap and twine along with the pretty china! Way to go!!!
I love it. I was thinking, maybe some blueberries? But, I love the idea of blue place cards.
I have my grandmother's old china, and you are right it is not as versatile, but it is such a blessing to have the history at the table. I think the blue is beautiful.
Looks like it's all coming together very nicely! I always need to iron everything too. Have a lovely Thanksgiving Day!
I LOVE your china! I is very elegant and I don't think it looks old lady at all. What brand is it?
Your table looks great with the blues and browns together. I love how you tied your napkins with twine.
Your meal sounds SO good!!
Your china is so pretty! Good luck with everything! I know it will be fab! | 2019-04-20T01:05:58 | http://www.serenitynowblog.com/2010/11/thanksgiving-table-rough-draft.html | [
