The DRV632 is a 2-VRMS pop-free stereo line driver designed to allow the removal of the output dc-blocking capacitors for reduced component count and cost. The device is ideal for single-supply electronics where size and cost are critical design parameters. Designed using TI’s patented DirectPath™ technology, The DRV632 is capable of driving 2 VRMS into a 10-kΩ load with 3.3-V supply voltage. The device has differential inputs and uses external gain-setting resistors to support a gain range of ±1 V/V to ±10 V/V, and gain can be configured individually for each channel. Line outputs have ±8-kV IEC ESD protection, requiring just a simple resistor-capacitor ESD protection circuit. The DRV632 has built-in active-mute control for pop-free audio on/off control. The DRV632 has an external undervoltage detector that mutes the output when the power supply is removed, ensuring a pop-free shutdown. Using the DRV632 in audio products can reduce component count considerably compared to traditional methods of generating a 2-VRMS output. The DRV632 does not require a power supply greater than 3.3 V to generate its 5.6-Vpp output, nor does it require a split-rail power supply. The DRV632 integrates its own charge pump to generate a negative supply rail that provides a clean, pop-free ground-biased 2-VRMS output. The DRV632 is available in a 14-pin TSSOP.

A preliminary design for a multi-role police vessel for the River Thames. The purpose of this design dissertation is to come up with a preliminary design for a new multi role police launch for the Metropolitan Police Marine Policing Unit (MPU) which can be used during the London 2012 Olympics and then after for other police forces that police tidal rivers or estuaries similar to the Thames. With the 2012 Olympics in London fast approaching, likely to be the largest most significant sporting event the United Kingdom has ever seen, there will be a significant increase in the level of security and river traffic in the months leading up to the Games as well as the constant threat of terrorist activity. At present the Metropolitan Police use modified Targa 31’s as their main policing vessels which are a common sight patrolling the River. These vessels are subject to prolonged arduous use and therefore have a limited operating life of between four and five years. The modified Targa 31 only makes up four of the Marine Policing Unit’s twenty two vessels, the rest comprising of a Targa 37 Logistics Support Vessel, three Semi Displacement vessels for use in deploying divers and a number of Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) and dinghies, none of which have been specifically designed for policing. The new design will therefore try to incorporate a number of different vessel roles into one specifically designed police launch. The new design could subsequently reduce the fleet down from twenty two vessels, reducing operating costs which is very appropriate in the current economic climate.

Due to low success rates for hernia mesh devices, many device companies have issued recalls following injuries and device lawsuits. Several serious health problems are associated with defective hernia mesh devices, and device companies including Bard, Covidien, Atrium, Gore, Aspide and Ethicon may be held responsible when injuries occur. Hernia repairs are quite common, and doctors commonly use surgical mesh to add support to weakened or damaged tissue. Surgical mesh devices available on the market are generally constructed from synthetic absorbable, non-absorbable or a combination of medical materials. Patients should contact their surgeons about health issues and contact an experienced Ohio hernia mesh lawyer for legal counsel. Joe Lyon is a highly-rated Cincinnati medical device attorney and Ohio hernia mesh lawyer representing plaintiffs nationwide in a wide variety of defective medical device and product liability claims. Hernias have a high recurrence rate, and surgeons will try to use surgical mesh to strengthen the hernia site. But some hernia mesh products may have a higher risk, and have been found to be ineffective and cause further injury. A U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) analysis of mesh adverse event reports notes chronic pain, infection, hernia recurrence, adhesion, abdominal obstruction, bleeding, fistula, granuloma, seroma, and tissue perforation as severe risks linked to hernia mesh devices. Mesh migration may also occur as a complication and lead to more invasive issues. A more serious complication is the development of bowel perforation or fistula, usually due to chronic erosion of bowel. Following health problems, mesh removal can lead to infection, and permanent pelvic pain. Some estimates say about 30 percent of patients with mesh implants removed will suffer from chronic pain. Product liability attorneys claim thousands of defective hernia mesh devices have not been properly tested before they were marketed and distributed to the American public. Medical device companies like Aspide, Atrium, Gore, Covidien, Ethicon and Bard have paid millions of dollar to victims to settle device injury lawsuits. If you have experienced hernia mesh complications, consult a medical professional and an Ohio hernia mesh lawyer. The Lyon Firm has national experience litigating product liability cases against medical device manufacturers. If you or a loved one suffered an injury due to a defective hernia mesh device, and have questions about the legal remedies available to improve quality of life and medical care, contact The Lyon Firm at (800) 513-2403. You will speak directly with Mr. Lyon, an Ohio hernia mesh lawyer, and he will help you answer these critical questions.

There's a part of me that wants to have a face off with the various covers of Mary E Pearson's The Adoration of Jenna Fox series (I mean, I own and love to of the different versions, after all), but for now I'm just going to let Jenna face off against the puzzling face on the cover of MetaGame . (Puzzling, haha. Get it?) [ba dum bum]. Anywhoodle, both are pretty neat-o, but which one catches your eye? Knowing nothing about either book, which one would you pick up? Last Week on FFO: The US and UK versions of Amy Kathleen Ryan's Glow faced off in one of the closest matches we've had in recent weeks, with the UK cover just barely sparkling its way to a win. I like the cover for Jenna Fox much better actually. I like the profile shot better and the puzzles pieces seem more like a part of the image than the very definite- PUZZLE! feel (IMO) of Mind Games. I like Jenna Fox better. I"m in agreement. Jenna Fox for me. Jenna fox for me as well. I like the cover of Jenna Fox more. The profile shot looks better, and I like that it's more puzzley. The 1st one. The 2nd feels so odd. To be honest, I really dislike both of these. But I guess the 1st one is slightly better. Jenna Fox did it way better! Yeah I'm kinda hating both of these, as well, but the Jenna Fox one is the better of the two. The Metagame cover looks like a PC program manual, I don't like it at all. Wow, I'm the only one that likes MetaGame. I'm not a fan of the "puzzle" design for either cover. Puzzle pieces are meant to be 3D but covers that use them normally lack any depth in the image. Metagame pulls it off a bit better but meh. Even my cover whorish ways do not approve.

Homeschooling your kids is a unique opportunity to truly shape the minds of tomorrow, but even the most enthusiastic student can get bored at times. The hours spent reading lines of text, trying to solve math problems, and struggling to remember facts can really start to get your son or daughter down — unless you step in and make homeschooling fun and exciting. In this article, we'll share three homeschooling tips with you that will transform the way you teach your kids and give them new enthusiasm for learning. There are times when your kids will need to knuckle down and cram - but that shouldn't be their daily experience of homeschooling. Take the time to plan interesting outings with your kids that give them an opportunity to apply what they've learned - or learn by doing. Studying biology is way more fun at the zoo, while history comes alive at museums and monuments. As long as the outing is related to the work they are studying, they'll remember it more easily and have fun learning. The cold months are especially hard for homeschooled kids, because nobody feels like leaving home in winter. To break the monotony of this season, get your kids some clothes especially for school time and head out for some educational adventures. Moncler for kids has a wide selection of outerwear that is both stylish and functional. Snowy climates have their own unique physical features that your kids can study as part of their geography lessons, while the holiday season is full of cultural activities that make studying history, English and social studies more engaging. Head to a football game and get a physical education lesson! Go, Chiefs! A teacher who is able to make their subject seem fascinating, relevant — or at least useful - by telling interesting stories and sharing life experiences is more likely to succeed than a boring bookworm. Whatever you teach your kids from a book, tell or show them how it makes a difference in the real world. If you're not sure yourself, take some time to research it online and think of ways to explain the topic to your kids in practical terms — you may learn something new yourself. Daddy and Callie playing Ticket to Ride on a Sunday ... geography, math and more! Math, science, and history are three subjects that kids usually describe as difficult or boring — but they are essential to understanding the world and shaping your child's outlook later in life. By showing your kids how these subjects (and the people who study them) make a difference in our world, you'll inspire them to do their best. A visit to your local science or history museum is a great chance for your kids to interact with museum staff and volunteers who can explain difficult concepts in language that's easy to understand - and if you have questions of your own, they'll probably be happy to answer them. Touch pool at Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, Illinois. A great place to learn about science! By putting in a little extra effort, you can transform your child's experience of school and open their eyes to the fascinating world out there and the many ways there are to study and understand it. You'll have a unique bonding opportunity that most parents never have with their kids as you teach, learn and explore the world of knowledge together.

They are a great price (normally around $650), and for that price you are going to have a hard time finding better quality and better looking best selling wood fireplaces. For some people, outdoor wood burning fireplaces are the only way to go when it comes to different outdoor fireplaces models. You can’t really completely match the combination of the outdoors and wood burning fireplaces which will make you feel like you really are in the great outdoors, even though you could be right outside your house! Every other type of fireplaces really try to match the look and feel of these outdoor wood burning fireplaces, and they get close but can’t get completely there. Outdoor wood burning fireplaces have arguably the best style, look, feel and smell of any type of outdoor fireplaces. There are also so many style choices when it comes to these so homeowners have a easy time matching their backyard home decor with these outdoor wood burning fireplace units. Outdoor wood burning masonry fireplaces top our list of these outdoor wood burning fireplaces because they are simply the most elegant of all styles. Masonry fireplaces can use the material of your preference, such as brick, stone, or rock depending on what kind of look you want. These outdoor wood burning fireplaces are great at generating heat as well. Cast iron outdoor wood burning fireplaces are next on this list because they are the best at generating heat, and unsurpassed by any other model of fireplaces. Put one of these in your backyard, and you will never be cold again thanks to these outdoor wood burning fireplaces. Tradition is hard to break. It’s hard to beat the beauty the flames create from one of these, the sound of the wood burning / cracking or the delightful smell of outdoor wood burning fireplaces. While there is more maintenance involved in these models than gas fireplaces, many people really like the whole process of making a fire and maintaining it by feeding it wood. Wood burning fireplaces are focal points during social gatherings and can create beautiful romantic settings. There is something soothing about wood burning fireplaces which cannot be replaced by any other model. Before purchasing one of these models you should think about certain things that you wouldn’t have to consider with a gas fireplace. When starting a wood burning fireplace, you should always be present to monitor the fire, especially if children are present. With gas fireplaces this isn’t such an issue, since they can be turned on and off very easily. You also have to consider the maintenance. Wood burning fireplaces require regular maintenance including the chimney for safety reasons, as well as the ash left behind from these models. While these models are much more maintenance, it’s hard to replace a wood burning fireplaces with any other model. Radiant wood burning fireplaces are space saving wood burning fireplaces which are very effective at heating your home and you! A radiant wood burning fireplace heats your home by way of infrared radiation, meaning the wood fire first heats your fireplace, then the fireplace gives heat back to you through infrared radiation as well. This heat generated from from these radiant wood burning fireplaces all comes from the walls of your fireplaces. Basically, all fireplaces and stoves produce radiant heat as well as circulating heat (the heat that comes out of forced air heaters). But some units, such as cast iron fireplaces were designed to be more radiant heating wood burning fireplaces. Radiant wood burning fireplaces produce some of the most efficient and comfortable heat of all home heating methods. Radiant heat is basically what you get from the sun, not what comes out of forced air heaters which aren’t as efficient or as healthy compared to radiant wood burning fireplaces. Radiant heat has no odor, noise and no drafts – just even distribution of heat. A radiant wood burning fireplace will make you more comfortable when you get out of bed. Not only will one of these fireplaces or wood burning stoves heat the air around you, they will also heat the ground you walk on. So next time you get out of bed and feel the nice warm ground under your feet, you can thank your radiant wood burning fireplaces. A radiant heater is more comfortable to be around for a couple reasons. Because the heat from a radiant wood burning fireplace is slow moving, you don’t feel drafts or lose heat quickly when a door gets opened. This kind of heat is better for your skin as well, and won’t dry skin out like a forced air heater does. If you have a family with little children who are bound to get curious and touch the fireplace, maybe one of these models aren’t for you. Radiant wood burning fireplaces walls get very hot, and should never be touched. Touching can result in severe burn or injury. If this might ever be a problem in your household, then maybe you shouldn’t invest in one of these radiant wood burning fireplaces. High efficiency tax credit wood fireplaces are wood burning fireplaces that have been EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) certified and rated with a energy efficiency rating of 72% or higher. This means that these high efficiency tax credit wood fireplace models will give you more heat for every piece of wood that goes into your wood burning fireplaces. Not only do these high efficiency tax credit wood fireplaces save you money on fire wood, the government is offering a 30% tax credit for sales of any of these models which qualify! With energy prices skyrocketing and the need for the world to start considering alternative fuels, President Barack Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act which included owners of these high efficiency tax credit wood fireplaces to receive compensation products that adhere to certain energy efficiency regulations. How Much Money Can I Expect To See Back From Purchasing These High Efficiency Tax Credit Wood Fireplaces? If you purchase any high efficiency tax credit wood fireplace, stoves or inserts that qualify you can get back up to 30% reimbursement in the form of a tax credit up to $1,500 total during the 2009 and 2010 tax years. For more information regarding this, please see www.epa.gov. In this review, Fireplaces and Wood Stoves NOW is going to review the 1400P from Napoleon Fireplaces. This is a very energy efficient wood burning stove has a very large firebox chamber and is great at heating your home. Not only is this wood burning stove built for performance, it is also very appealing on your eyes with the pedestal base. This model is one of the easiest wood burning stoves to maintain, and is very easy to use. If you own one of these, the only heater you’ll need is this high efficiency tax credit wood fireplaces!

We arrived there in the dark of night after all of the stalls had shut down except for two women selling garlands of white flowers. In our bare feet we padded up a long, worn, stone staircase to the summit– up past families noiselessly eating dinner around circular tables. Sleepy cats lazing on wooden window sills. A monk who sat in his simple abode and stared blankly at us with even keeled indifference. Dana Carruth, Love Peace, and 3 more people like this update. Mikey, this is beautiful.

©inTRAlinea & Alison Marsh (2006). Red Bee Media used to be part of BBC but now is a separate company. BBC is Red Bee Media’s biggest client and all the subtitling at BBC is made by Red Bee Media. First of all, let me explain how respeaking works at Red Bee Media. We use a voice recognition software which is called ViaVoice. Respeakers train the software to recognise their voices. They do a lot of training using ViaVoice so that they can improve their voice model to get it to on-air standards. They also have to use ViaVoice for a lot of preparation because ViaVoice has a very big dictionary, of about 75,000 words. Although it has this big dictionary, it is very English-focussed. But since Red Bee Media covers a lot of live sporting events, news broadcasts, because ViaVoice does not contain a lot of the vocabulary we need (e.g. footballers names or places in Iraq), respeakers have to do a lot of training into ViaVoice so that they can go on-air and subtitle these broadcasts. Once they go on air they use a piece of software which is called K-live, especially designed for BBC’s respeakers by the BBC’s Research and Development department (when respeakers were part of the BBC). It allows respeakers to do whatever they want to do in terms of transmitting subtitles: positioning them on the screen appropriately; broadcasting them in different colours to indicate different speakers; making subtitles more accurate thanks to an automatic correction function; and it also allows respeakers to connect to any of the channels to be subtitled on. Red Bee Media subtitles on the two analogue BBC channels (BBC One and BBC Two) and digital and satellite channels like BBC News 24, BBC Parliament and BBC Three. When a respeaker goes on-air s/he connects to K-live, put his/her headphones on and s/he respeaks what s/he hears into the microphone and s/he and then the voice recognition element of ViaVoice processes the vocal input from the microphone, turns it into text and K-live broadcasts it on the screen so that the words scroll out one by one. So, respeaking is essentially repeating what is heard, inserting the right punctuation, editing when necessary (condensing information to keep up with the speakers because sometimes they speak very fast especially on news broadcasts). In doing this, respeaking involves a complex mental process: hearing one thing, saying another thing, whilst keeping the main ideas and trying to keep a bit the flavour of the programme for the deaf viewers so that they can appreciate a little bit the way a speaker is speaking, the general register of the programme because a football commentator during a match speaks in a totally different way to a politician in the Houses of Parliament. As far as the background to respeaking, it came into being for different reasons. BBC has always been at the forefront in terms of subtitling. The first subtitling departments were set up in London and in Glasgow in the 1980s but initially they only did pre-recorded subtitling. There was no live subtitling. In 1990, the live subtitling unit was created, on a very modest scale. There was no respeaking since all the real-time subtitling was done by stenographers (former court reporters using phonetic keyboards in order to produce texts at a speed of about 250 wpm). Gradually, the live subtitling department began to expand and it started taking on more and more live output. In January 2001, development into respeaking began and this happened basically for three reasons: the first was that there was a growing demand for subtitles from the deaf community; the second was some legislation introduced by the Government called the Broadcasting Act, in 1990. This legislation stipulated that all of the major television companies had to increase the proportion of output that they subtitled (and this meant live subtitling as well as pre-recorded subtitling) up to 90% by 2010. Then the BBC set its own target, 100% on its analogue channels by 2008; thirdly, the BBC had to find an alternative way to cover all its live output because stenography is a very specialised skill, you have to train for at least five years to become a professional stenographer. As a result there were not many stenographers available, and the few could demand for very high salaries because it is a very specialised skill. Clearly, it was not possible for BBC to cover all its live output with stenographers because this was not financially viable. So, experiments began in the field of respeaking which was a more practical and cost effective way of subtitling large volumes of live output. The first live respeaking was in April 2001 when the World Snooker Championships were subtitled. Later that year BBC subtitled the coverage of tennis, Wimbledon, which is a very important event in the English sporting calendar. So, BBC began subtitling sports. But gradually respeakers started subtitling more and more output including coverage of BBC Parliament, regional news and later, national news on BBC News 24. As they started knowing more about respeaking, the quality of the subtitles produced by respeaking increased. A very important factor for that was the software they were using, ViaVoice, the quality of which was improved by the introduction of ViaVoice 10, a new version. Then, with the introduction of K-live respeakers began having even more accurate subtitles. As for research, we work in cooperation with the deaf community. We have done a lot of research in the readability of subtitles and we receive a lot of feedback by the deaf about the colours, the kind of subtitles they prefer (block or subtitles the scroll one word at a time). The result of this research has been the creation of house-styles. So we use punctuation in a given way, the number of words to be displayed on the screen to make sure that the deaf viewers can read subtitles easily. Another result we got from the deaf community at the beginning of our experimenting live subtitling was the option for immediacy over accuracy. Currently, Red Bee Media subtitles through respeaking approximately 650 hours per month of live programmes. This means that in summer, when there is a lot of sports, respeakers subtitle more than that but in wintertime they subtitle less because there is less live output to cover. Generally, 24 hours a day of lived subtitling are covered by respeaking on a variety of channels (BBC one, BBC two, the digital and satellite channels). Moreover, since every individual British region has its five individual news per day, even the majority of regional news are subtitled through respeaking. At some times of the day there are 17 different regional programmes going on air simultaneously that would be subtitled by respeakers. Since then the amount of coverage increased and the kind of programmes has become more varied. By the time, as respeakers become more experienced and the quality of subtitles they produce increases, respeakers have started covering output the was traditionally the domain of stenographers and programmes such as the national news, current affairs programmes like “News Night” and “Question Time”. Then the number of respeakers has increased quite dramatically over the past three or four years. Now at Red Bee Media there are 50 respeakers working all over the country. The two main offices are in London and in Glasgow, but there are also respeakers working in small offices all around the UK. The software they use, K-live allows people to work even from home so that a number of respeakers can go on air from their living room. Another important aspect of a respeaker’s job is something called scripting, contributing to the pre-recorded subtitling process. Voice recognition is used to produce the scripts of pre-recorded programmes. These scripts are then processed to create subtitle files which are then checked through by pre-recorded subtitlers. So respeakers are used in as many ways as possible. Leaders try to avoid respeakers going on air for too long during the course of the day because there is a lot of strain in the voice and every respeaker has to concentrate very hard to respeak live output. A respeaker is generally given half of live output and half of scripting every day. As far as recruitment is concerned, in the past, respeakers were recruited from the ranks of subtitlers. The recruitment procedure was non-existing. Any subtitler with an interest in respeaking could have a try. However, now, the recruitment procedure is very stringent and respeakers are recruited externally most of the time. Candidates have to pass a series of tests before they can become respeakers. The most important test is called speech test. They are given samples of live output and they have to try respeaking it to see how they get on. Similarly, in the past, the training was very ad hoc. There was not a structured training programme. It was not very clear how long it would take to each candidate to be able to go on air. Nowadays, the training programme is very organised and structured. Leaders know exactly what a respeaker is going to do during the course of their training which nowadays takes between two and three months. Their training is very closely monitored. All that has evolved as the department has expanded. There is also a reviewing system which is in place to ensure that respeakers are consistently producing high quality subtitles (the accuracy target is 97%, that is that over 100 words, three words can be incorrect). Another important aspect is the so called multi-skilling, that is, instead of having separate file and live teams, Red Bee Media tries to combine the two so that every subtitler has experience of respeaking and every respeaker can do pre-recorded subtitling as well. This is to make our workforce as flexible and productive as possible, thus allowing Red Bee Media to attend the BBC’s 100% target by 2008. In the future Red Bee Media live subtitling offices are continuing to expand, particularly those in Glasgow. They are taking more and more flexible people as possible and every person is trained on every aspect of the job. One of the advantages of having this flexible workforce is that respeakers have to work shift works because so as to cover nearly 24 hours on the BBC. This involves very early news broadcasts and very late sport broadcasts. So, since every respeaker has to work a variety of shifts including week ends, the larger the workforce that can cover different shifts, the easier it will be for individuals to work more dayshifts and not so many demanding shifts. Lastly, Red Bee Media is experimenting with respeaking in another language. A lot of respeaking has been made in French but they are looking into respeaking in Spanish and German. BBC has neither a written list of guidelines nor printed/on-line feedback. The only feedback available is composed of the e-mails they receive from the end users.

1. Do not use the garden hose. It’s a common misconception that the added water pressure a water hose provides will unclog drains and flush out pipes. Most of the time, all this is going to do is risk damaging your pipes and create a giant headache for you. The garden hose belongs in the garden. Leave it there. 2. Coat hangers do not work. This should go without saying, but do not, under any circumstances, unbend a coat hanger and slide it down your drain in an attempt to unclog it. This is both frustrating and extremely ineffective. If the coat hanger gets stuck in your pipes, you risk causing even more damage to them, and you’re going to have to call the plumber anyways. 3. Chemical drain cleaners don’t work either. In addition to the obvious safety hazards, most chemical drain cleaners that are on the market today simply do not have the power to effectively clear a clogged drain. They do not have the capability to dissolve solid obstructions. If you have a clogged drain in your home or pipes that need cleaning, do it right the first time by calling a professional plumber from Extreme Plumbing. Don’t risk damaging your pipes and creating an expensive mess. With more than 20 years of experience in the business, Extreme Plumbing offers high quality service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

1Cook the orzo according to the package directions; drain well, running under cool water to cool it down, then dump into a bowl. 2Thinly slice your spinach: tack a bunch of leaves, roll them up tightly and slice through the whole bunch – or just tear it in with your hands. The method you choose will likely depend on the salad's final destination. Add the onion, feta and lemon zest. 3Squeeze the lemon juice over the salad, and drizzle with the rice vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Toss to coat well. Taste it and adjust the seasonings if it needs it. Serve right away or refrigerate until you’re ready for it.

If the valve position is not advancing according to the relationship above, an adjustment is required. Use “zero adjustment” to set the valve position to a specific input value. For example, with an input of 12mA, the valve should be @ 50%. Use the “span adjustment” to adjust the % change the valve moves relative to the input value. 6. Stroke the valve – Take the valve thru a complete cycle of 4 – 20 mA inputs verifying that the correct valve position exists with a given input value.

Older people who practice tai chi appear to be less likely to fall, according to new research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Scientists at the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine and the University of Exeter analysed data contained in 35 reviews, all of which had looked at the benefits of tai chi. They found relatively clear evidence that the Chinese martial art is effective at preventing falls and improving mental wellbeing among older people. However, evidence for many other health conditions was contradictory and the researchers found that tai chi was not beneficial for relieving symptoms of cancer or rheumatoid arthritis. 'Our overview showed that tai chi, which combines deep breathing and relaxation with slow and gentle movements, may exert exercise-based general benefits for fall prevention and improvement of balance in older people, as well as some meditative effects for improving psychological health,' the researchers concluded. Tai chi is said to have originated in the 16th century and has since developed into dozens of different styles.

Pushing my grocery cart through the aisles at Food Lion I was all about trying to find the 9 or 10 things on my shopping list and out of the blue someone bumped into my cart and burst out laughing. My first reaction was to frown, well, scowl and snarl, actually. But then I saw that it was Sheila and I had to bust out a laugh, too. I cannot believe that Sheila shops at the same grocery store that I do. She is clear on the other side of the Lake and the Kroger is much closer to her. But she says that she likes the smaller store because she can get what she wants and check out ten times faster than going to the huge, crowded Kroger. So I have to agree, I avoid the Kroger for quick trips like today and only go there once every 4 to 6 weeks to stock up on meat and other things that Food Lion doesn’t carry. The new Superintendent of Schools has decided that the only way the kids here will learn enough to pass the minimum grade levels tests is to go to school for more days out the year. He wants to take away most of the summer vacation days and make them go to school earlier in the year. I already think it is ludicrous for the kids to start back the first week of August. That is awfully early to be going to school when most of the rest of the country does not start until after Labor Day. As far as I am concerned, they need to bring in extra teachers and extra tutors to help the kids who are struggling. The kids who are average and better are being punished for being in the same classes as the dumb ones.

Jefferson County crews extinguished a wildfire Thursday that appeared to have been sparked by an unattended campfire on a beach near Coyle, Quilcene Fire Chief Larry Karp said. The fire burned about a tenth of an acre in a steep, forested area at the southern tip of Toandos Peninsula. “It traveled from a beach up a hillside through tress and brush,” Karp said in a telephone interview. The campers who were believed to have started the fire had left the area before crews arrived Thursday morning. “Nobody fessed up to it,” Karp said. Smoke from the fire was reported as being seen from Kitsap County at about 9 a.m. Thursday. Crews from the Quilcene Fire Department and other Jefferson County agencies extinguished the blaze at about noon. “All fire districts in Jefferson County were involved,” Karp said. A state Department of Natural Resources crew was called in for mop-up duty. The campfire appeared to have spread to two small boats on the beach, which generated enough heat to ignite the nearby forest, Karp said. Karp reminded the public to extinguish campfires by dousing them with water and stirring the ashes with a shovel. “Make sure that it’s cold to the touch,” Karp said. Quilcene Fire, or Jefferson County Fire District 2, responded with three tenders and three brush rigs. Meanwhile, Clallam County Fire District 2 firefighters knocked down a small brush fire that was believed to have been started by fireworks west of Port Angeles on Wednesday. Crews quickly extinguished the 15- by 30-foot blaze that was burning in grass and light brush at 400 Charles Road on the Lower Elwha Klallam tribal reservation, according to a news release. It was determined that the Charles Road fire had been started by fireworks, Clallam 2 Fire-Rescue officials said. The fire district responded with a standard engine, fast attack wildland brush engine, command vehicle and five firefighters. Other firefighters and two 3,000-gallon water tenders were on standby for the Fourth of July, officials said. Peninsula Communications received 61 reports of fireworks violations between 6 p.m. Wednesday and 2 a.m. Thursday, according to the dispatch center’s call for service log. No major fires were reported on the North Olympic Peninsula on the Fourth of July. “We had zero fireworks-related incidents,” said Ben Andrews, chief of Sequim-area Clallam County Fire District 3. East Jefferson Fire-Rescue spokesman Bill Beezley said there were no fireworks-related calls to his district Wednesday. “We had a really, really quiet evening,” Beezley said.

Alltech founder and president Pearse Lyons has built a global business based in Kentucky. Alltech, the Nicholasville-based feed supplement company, was suspended for a year from a major poultry industry trade show after company founder T. Pearse Lyons was accused of searching through a competitor's booth after hours. The competitor, Diamond V of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, filed a formal complaint with the Midwest Poultry Federation at its annual convention in Minneapolis in March 2009. "That incident did occur and we did consider it a serious incident," said Mike Mitchell, director of the company's North American Poultry division. In response to a Herald-Leader inquiry about the 2009 incident, Alltech said it was "a misunderstanding" that the company resolved by stepping aside from the trade show for a year. "We gave them (Alltech) an opportunity to respond. They declined to dispute that," he said. In a 2009 email to all exhibitors, the federation said: "One exhibitor was observed, shortly after show hours, photographing a competitor's booth and opening closed cabinets to view promotional materials." Alltech spokesman Billy Frey said the company's lawyers also reviewed the video and "saw no wrongdoing." He said Alltech's attorneys did not see Lyons clearly on tape. The lawyers "said there was no implicit evidence," said Frey, who has not seen the footage. Olson disputes that the security camera footage, viewed by convention officials, cleared Lyons. "It was part of what we based our decision on. That and a corroborating witness," he said. "The CCTV (closed-circuit television) didn't show everything, but it showed enough." The federation's board voted unanimously to ban Alltech from the trade show for a year, saying in an email to other exhibitors, "At the core of our relationship is our integrity and we do not take this lightly, nor for granted." Frey questioned why the 2009 incident is only now coming to light. He noted that Alltech recently accused Diamond V of false advertising and sent them a cease-and-desist letter. "I'm wondering if they're retaliating against us," Frey said. "This is a story that seems kind of out-of-the-blue, that a story like this would come up two years later, after it's been completely resolved and we've moved on and we've exhibited at the show, with no incidences there." Mitchell said he was unaware of Diamond V receiving any recent cease-and-desist letters from Alltech. The trade show incident surfaces publicly as the international nutritional supplements company faces a sexual harassment lawsuit filed last month by the company's former U.S. controller. Amanda Jo Wester alleged in her suit against Alltech that she suffered three years of salacious emails from her former boss, Eric Lanz, and that top officials ignored her complaints, then retaliated by removing job duties. Wester also cited behavior by Lyons, such as slapping her and another female employee on the bottom, that she said set a permissive tone at the company. Alltech responded to Wester's allegations with a statement that said the company's policies prohibit harassment and that it provides a "productive and comfortable work environment." Alltech in recent years has aggressively pursued sales growth around the world, with Lyons as the public face of the company. Most notably, the company spent more than $30 million to sponsor and support the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games. In a written statement about the 2009 trade show incident, Alltech spokeswoman Susanna Elliott said complaints among competitors at trade shows are "very common." "The misunderstanding involved competitor complaints alleging that Alltech broke an exhibitor rule," Elliott said. "Alltech exhibits at hundreds of trade shows around the world each year, and complaints at trade shows are very common between competitors. We were invited by organizers to respond to the allegations and did so privately. We asked for a review including CCTV footage, which indicated no wrongdoing. We chose, however, not to prolong the issue." Olson said this week he can't speak for other shows Alltech attends but that in the 11 years he's been with the Midwest Poultry Federation this is the only time an incident like this has occurred. "At our show, we don't have those kinds of complaints between competitors," he said.

A new survey conducted by Saigon's Department of Education and Training reveals unsettling realities regarding student well-being. The study covers 150 schools and institutions in Ho Chi Minh City including 74 public high schools, 34 public secondary schools, eight primary schools and 34 other institutions ranging from kindergartens to private schools. According to the survey, 31% of the students experience stress and 53.8% show lack of study motivation, Dan Tri reports. Of all the students in the study, 7.8% have dropped out of school and 21.1% are at risk of doing so. The report argues that study environment, society and family, lack of support services from schools combined with anxiety are the reason for such troubling numbers. The survey also shed light on a more worrying issue — 24.6% of students are bullied and 20.8% of them are victims of psychological abuse. Thirty percents of all respondents reported having been harassed online in different forms such as posting photos without consent, insults, provocations, threats. More than 6% of respondents use drugs, 5.7% have violated the law, 2.8% have gone through an abortion, and 0.8% shows self-destructive behaviors.

On December 1, 2013, version 6.5 of the Community Enterprise Operating System (CentOS) was made available to the general public. This iteration supports both i386 and x86_84 system architectures and also improves several existing functions. But for a business already running CentOS, is this release worth the upgrade? Here’s what you need to know about version 6.5. CentOS got its start in 2004, as an offshoot of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) distribution, or distro, according to the CentOS Blog. It began as an artifact in the CAOS Linux build but gained popularity for its ability to effectively collaborate with other RHEL clones, and in 2006, another distro, Tao Linux, chose to roll in its functionality with CentOS. The operating system offers 100 percent binary compatibility with RHEL, meaning it’s almost identical — upgrades to RHEL are typically followed by similar CentOS upgrades within a few months. In the case of version 6.5, Red Hat released its version on November 21, 2013; CentOS followed suit 10 days later. Red Hat and CentOS have the same version numbers and virtually identical features, since CentOS is derived entirely from publicly available Red Hat source code. All branding is removed, however, and Red Hat provides no consumer support. CentOS has made a mark for itself in the business-technology community. By July 2010, the operating system surpassed Debian as the most popular Linux distribution for web servers around the globe, owning nearly 30 percent of the market. In spite of relinquishing the top spot to Debian in 2012, CentOS remains the most common OS for web-host control panels. Although CentOS receives no support from Red Hat — financially or otherwise — the distribution is known for its superior customer support. In large measure, this stems from an active, interested community that provides feedback on every version. While the bulk of OS development is handled by a small team of experts, a host of system administrators, network administrators and enterprise users help improve each CentOS build. As a result, the distro has gained notoriety for being quickly built, rebuilt, tested and available on countless mirror networks. As noted by Tecmint, upgrading to version 6.5 from any earlier 6.X version is simple: Just run the “yum update” command from the command line. Based on your network speed, you’ll have to wait 15 to 30 minutes for the process to finish. While no serious issues during upgrading have been reported, it’s always a good idea to back up any critical files or network configuration data. Once the upgrade is complete, run “# cat /etc/redhat-release” to make sure you have the right version. According to the official CentOS wiki, there are several notable improvements to version 6.5, starting with driver updates for Hyper-V and VMware virtualization tools. In addition, Evolution and LibreOffice get an update, while kernel-based virtual machines (KVMs) get improved read-only support for VMDK and VHDX files. Perhaps the most interesting upgrade, however, is for the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). PTP allows local area network (LAN) computers to be synchronized to within 100 nanoseconds under the IEEE-1588 standard. Although previewed in an earlier release, this feature is now fully supported. There are some issues with the release — for example older AMD video cards are not compatible with the new X server version, and some users report that Ethernet interfaces do not start with the new NetworkManager tool. But overall, these bugs are minor. Dedicated hosting customers who are running CentOS and who are not subscribed to one of a managed hosting services should check to see whether they are running the latest version of CentOS. Lunarpages customers on shared servers should already be on operating on CentOS 6; if not, they will soon be migrated from CentOS 4 to the latest version of the OS. While this release offers better LAN time-stamping support and upgrades to other existing functions, companies won’t suffer by holding on to 6.4 or another 6.X version for a few more months. But based on the reliable build structure and superior technical support channels of CentOS, there’s no reason to wait. This enterprise RHEL clone is popular with good reason, and its newest upgrade is another solid build.

I am a little late getting this published this week and I apologize! It has been a crazy hectic week for me with the added stress of homecoming week. Alas, here is our Parlipulls for the week. Thanks to Shawn who is the only one that submitted one this week. This week I started the second arc of a series called “Rose”. I read the first arc last year and enjoyed it thoroughly, especially the great art and colors by Ig Guara. Issues 7 & 8 pick up right where we left off last year (and if you didn’t read it, no worries… each issue recaps the story for new readers). This would be a very quick read if I didn’t continually find myself getting distracted by the artwork. For fans of Coda or The Inheritance Series this may be for you.

Re-Juvenated Clottey Says Unification Deal With Cotto Close! Joshua Clottey is an ecstatic man these days. Since conquering Zab Judah last August for the vacant IBF Welterweight title, the powerful warrior from Ghana has had to wait and wait and wait – for the chance to defend his title. You see, fights kept falling through, for one reason or another, dates with Paul Williams, Andre Berto, Antonio Margarito could not be made. But, suddenly, in the span of about 24 hours, everything has changed for Joshua Clottey. With their all-action styles, Cotto vs Clottey will undoubtedly be a fantastic IBF/WBO unification battle. Both scored important and impressive wins against Zab Judah and battled Antonio Margarito on just about even terms. So I asked Clottey why he believes he has the edge and will defeat Cotto? And how special and inspiring it would be to compete in a main event unification match at the mecca of boxing Madison Square Garden? Just a week ago, Clottey was so distraught over the politics of boxing and inability of his team to produce a world title defense for him, that he was seriously considering retiring from boxing to take up his other passion – soccer. Clottey has devoted most of his life to boxing and is at the peak of his powers now. He vehemently desires to achieve much more success and wealth – so he can share it with his family and other dependents back home in Ghana.

For Plaintiff: Robert E. Flaherty, Esq. For Defendant: Wyatt A. Brochu, Esq. In this zoning appeal, Henry W. Archetto, Maria A. Archetto, Paul H. Archetto, Linda C. Archetto, and Maria A. Archetto-Hickman (collectively, Appellants) seek judicial review of a decision of the Zoning Board of Review of the Town of Jamestown (Board). The decision approved Defendant Christian R. Smith's (Applicant or Mr. Smith) Application for a dimensional variance. Jurisdiction is pursuant to G.L. 1956 § 45-24-69. The plat plan covers an extensive area at the northern end of the island. At the time this plat plan was drawn, all of Conanicut Park was owned by the Conanicut Land Company. It is clear that the company's intention was to develop Conanicut Park into a residential neighborhood. The plat plan reveals a subdivision including more than 2, 000 lots, many streets, parks, groves, ponds, and even an area labeled 'Steamboat Landing' . . . Most of Conanicut Park remains undeveloped today . . . [A] great many of the streets shown on the plat plan do not exist, [and] . . . Conanicut Park is actually a relatively heavily wooded area with considerable brush and briar . . . [D]evelopment of this plat according to the plat plan was halted in the late 1800s because of a contaminated well and an outbreak of typhoid fever among the residents of that time. Gammons v. Caswell, 447 A.2d 361, 362- 63 (R.I. 1982). The Applicant's Property is bordered by a paper street called Circuit Avenue. Circuit Avenue has access to East Shore Road via another paper street called Providence Avenue. (Ex. 8D.) Although Providence Avenue traverses East Shore Road, this Decision only is concerned with the westerly portion of that paper street. Said portion is forty feet wide and abuts several properties, one of which belongs to Appellants.

After an exciting Olympic Trials, 5 Questions with is back! Today we have the first of our interviews with a member of the 2012 London Olympic Team. She overcame sickness in Eugene and made her way from roads star to Olympian in just over a year. 1. Writing About Running: First off, congrats on becoming an Olympian. What has your last week been like as a member of the 2012 US Olympic team that will be traveling to London next month? Janet Cherobon-Bawcom: It's been super hectic. I am taking a full load of classes this summer, and after a couple of days of excitement in Oregon, it was back to reality - and to being way behind on my work. To make things worse, we got back to Georgia just in time for the heat wave to hit and decided to head back out to Flagstaff where there was less heat and less oxygen. I've been here since the 1st, and I'm finally getting caught up on sleep, homework, and getting back into some good training. 2. Writing About Running: With the nature of the Women's 10,000, you were one of three women (excluding Shalane Flanagan, who will run the Olympic Marathon) who had the Olympic A-Standard. What was your strategy with that in mind? Janet Cherobon-Bawcom: To be honest, I was so sick in Eugene that I can't even pretend that I had a strategy. I'd been fighting a respiratory illness ever since Bolder Boulder, and it took a real turn for the worse when I got out to Oregon. I wasn't going to publicize it before the race, but I knew that, if anyone made a successful run at the "A" standard there, I would be left off the team for sure. There was no way I was going to keep up with them - I could barely breath during the race. Of course, two miles in, I knew that the pace was too slow for anyone to hit the standard, and it was like a huge weight was off my shoulders. It's not how anyone would want to make the team, but with the way I was feeling that night, I had to say a big prayer of thanks that I even made it through the race. Of course, the really ironic part for me was that I went into the Payton Jordan meet just shooting for the trials "A" standard. I hadn't run on the track since 2006, my 10k PR on the road was 32:26, and I really didn't consider myself a contender for a spot on the team. The Friday before that meet, I did a workout in Flagstaff that made me think, "you know, I might be able to break 32:00 if I get lucky." Well, I got in the race, felt decent, and now here we are. 3. Writing About Running: You have had a whirlwind past few years with gaining your citizenship, winning the USA Running Circuit Championship and becoming an Olympian. Is this what you imagined when you heard the term "the American dream?" Janet Cherobon-Bawcom: Again, I can't pretend that I had any idea or dream about being where I am. I came to the US never having broken 20:00 for 5k. My dream at that time was just to run well enough to keep my scholarship so that I could pursue my "American Dream" of getting my nursing degree. I had zero aspirations of doing anything significant as an athlete. I loved watching the Olympics as a kid - my favorite athlete was Maria Mutola back then - but I wasn't involved in the sport at the time, so I certainly didn't dream that I'd be where I am. After college, I kept running just to give me something to do - even with 3 DII championships to my name, my PR's were not blazing fast (16:19 and 34:21), and I wasn't a US citizen - so I couldn't dream of running for the US. When I started the citizenship process, I would've been crazy to think that one day I'd be representing the US - at that time my marathon PR was just under 3 hours. I was hoping that I could become a citizen and one day work for the Center for Disease Control. Needless to say, I think God had other things in mind because there's no other explanation for the way things in my life have worked out. 4. Writing About Running: What's it like training with the legendary coach, Jack Daniels? Janet Cherobon-Bawcom: It's been great. Jack is the perfect fit for me. He's a true genius, but he is also someone who really respects the experience I have as an athlete and the knowledge I have about how my body responds to certain things. I do some pretty crazy things from time to time - racing too much, etc. - but instead of trying to talk me out of things, Jack works hard to make the best plan for me, even if it seems crazy. I really appreciate that he's committed to helping me reach my goals - not like some coaches who try so hard to force their ideas on the athletes. He understands that my running is just that, my running, and he does a brilliant job of helping me get the most out of it. 5. Writing About Running: Your twitter profile says "Started running so I wouldn't have to keep milking cows. Still running and still not milking cows!!!!" When exactly is the last time you milked a cow? and what are your plans after the Olympics? Janet Cherobon-Bawcom: Actually, I milked a cow in February when I was back in Kenya. The weather in Flagstaff was killing my training, and I wanted to be at altitude to get ready for my spring season, so I decided that it would be an ideal time to go visit my family. My little sisters started talking some trash about how I'd gone soft in America, and I had to defend myself, so I grabbed the old milking bucket and got to work. It's pretty much like riding a bicycle - once you learn how.... Of course, I'm not so great on the bicycle, so who knows. After the Olympics, I'm actually going for a long vacation with my husband's family, then back to training with my eye on doing a few USA Running Circuit events and a fall marathon. I've been running pretty much non-stop since last August, so after the marathon, I plan to take a long break from running - and then we'll see what happens! Great interview! So glad to read more about Janet! This was great! Fun to read more about Janet. I was there when Janet came to the U.S. (I was two years ahead of her at Harding on the CC and track teams), and it's amazing to see what she's done. I almost cried when she qualified for the Olympics - couldn't wipe the smile off of my face. Seeing Janet's steady rise in running success should remind all of us that dreams can come true, even in your 30s. Thanks for doing this interview, and thanks, Janet.

Mama Dis is Pan: ‘Mr Ray’ delights. Virtuoso pannist and arranger Ray Holman showcased his well-honed skills in his recent concert series. The following report on the event was written by Gillian Moore and published in the Trinidad Guardian. Ray Holman’s recent concert series—Mama Dis Is Pan—staged at the Little Carib Theatre in Woodbrook February 23-25, was more than a presentation of the sweetness of the instrument; it was a showcase of a formidable body of work by the pan master, a nostalgic journey through his life in the steelband, and a celebration of pan hits through the years —all rendered in a style all his own. In his unassuming manner, the white-haired veteran took the stage before his band of musicians on opening night, to lead them on pan through two laid-back yet vibesy sets. Unlike many steelband virtuosos, his playing was fully integrated with the band. Although he took several lovely solos, he never dominated the sound. The musicians— including Anthony Woodroffe sax; Dean Williams guitar; Brian Perkins percussion; Kenneth Clarke congas Joey Samuels drums; Mike Germaine bass; and, Dereck Cadogan keyboards—did well, keeping the sound smooth, without letting it get boring. Also on the cast were several vocalists, including De Alberto, in his first local performance in 20 years, Kenny J and Jerelle Forde. Holman got things going with his Pan On the Move, the first “pan tune” ever written. London-based De Alberto joined in for pleasing renditions of Pan Woman and Scrunter’s Woman on the Bass. His performance was well appreciated by the audience. Holman changed the pace with I’ll Always Love You (Taylor Dane), which he said was one of his favourite songs, before introducing young vocalist Jerelle Forde, whom he called “the best-kept secret in Trinidad.” She sang Oh Trinidad, the last of many songs on which Holman collaborated with the late Merchant. The band then did a Merchant medley, including Barataria Sweet (but Morne Diablo sweeter) and Taxi Driver. The opening bars of Steel Band Clash were enough for the audience to chime in with “A-ha!” Alternating between the mic and his spot behind his double drums, Holman sang the lyrics with the crowd joining him for the refrain: “Never me again to jump in a steelband in Port-of-Spain.” The pan ace recounted how as a youth in Woodbrook, he was mentored by pan pioneer Ellie Mannette at Invaders panyard. He said he recalled, in 1955, first hearing Manette play double seconds on the radio. He said it was “like something out of this world”. Sweetly, he played Melody’s Michael, a simple song harking back to those early days. A Sparrow medley was next, Holman hailing the Birdie, along with Kithchener as one of his great musical influences. The band did Rose, Memories, Congo Man, Jane and Melda. The second half offered more memorable gems, including a delightful arrangement of Pan in Harmony; Jerelle Forde with Carnival is For the Woman and a lively performance of Shadow’s I Come Out to Play; De Alberto doing My Band; Kitchener’s Margie and Iron Man; and Kenny J doing Plenty Loving and Baron’s Somebody, which was a big hit with the crowd. The band got whimsical with I Feel Pretty, giving it a nice calypso swing. They segued into Penny Lane to close the show. The audience rose to their feet to give Holman a rousing ovation, and the emotion in the room was palpable. He had delivered a show that was nostalgic and sweet, romantic and musical. The band performed a short classical piece as an encore, topping off a beautiful show. For the original report: Mama Dis is Pan: ‘Mr Ray’ delights with musical nostalgia | The Trinidad Guardian Newspaper. Trinidad Guardian’s New York Correspondent, Dr. Glenville Ashby, reports on the event held at the Trinidad Consulate New York offices to commemorate Black History month. Drummers ignite the large audience. The Trinidad and Tobago Consulate in New York was transformed into a virtual palais as members of the Orisa and Shouter faith, backed by drummers, ignited the packed audience. The occasion was Black History Month celebration, the first of its kind at the downtown Manhattan consular offices. In her opening remarks, consul General Rudrawatee Nan Ramgoolam stressed the importance of culture in the lives of people the world over. She lamented the cultural disconnect by many of the nation’s youths, and beckoned them to re-examine their rich cultural heritage and the people who have excelled in every field despite struggles and obstacles. “Too many of our youths are without positive mentors and even heroes and we feel that celebrating the great persons in our past and present will offer a point of reference,” she noted. She identified the unparalleled contribution of Dr Eric Williams, ANR Robinson, CLR James, Rudolph Charles, Boscoe Holder, Len Boogsie Sharpe, Giselle La Ronde, Janelle Commissiong, Hasley Crawford and a host of others prominent Afro-Trinidadians. She also made mention of the distinctly Afro-centric faiths that make up the twin island’s religious mosaic, and the contribution of the community to the unique island cuisine.

The Caribbean is a fertile environment that fosters complex identities created through the fusion of cultures brought to the islands, identities that Caribbean peoples then take with them as they leave their nations and settle into new homes. The traditions transmitted within these communities are continually subject to loss, gain and reinterpretation. Communication practices play a role in this process as they help to maintain, express, transfer, and challenge the diasporic identities of Caribbean. “Re-Constructing Place and Space: Media, Culture, Discourse and the Constitution of a Caribbean Diaspora” examines the role of cultural performances and mediated expressions in the construction and maintenance of Caribbean diasporic identities. The objectives for the book are two-fold. The general objective is to contribute to discourse on diasporic identity and performativity. The more specific aim of the book is to highlight the diversity and complexity of Caribbean people’s production of and engagement with cultural forms. Though much work has been done to debunk the exoticized images of Caribbean nations, people from these countries are often perceived as an essentialized, undifferentiated category, and as technologically and intellectually backward, incapable of sophisticated cultural production, interaction and interpretation. “Re-Constructing Place and Space: Media, Culture, Discourse And the Constitution of a Caribbean Diaspora” seeks to present a more complex representation of people in the Caribbean diaspora, one that highlights their complicated and dynamic relationship to mediated material. The volume emerged from the 2009 New Media and the Global Diaspora Symposium: Exploring Media in Caribbean Diasporas held at Roger Williams University. The event sought to encourage academic discourse focused on Caribbean migratory populations, foregrounding the role of communicative practices in transmitting and sustaining their traditions. It was also designed as an interdisciplinary forum for Caribbean researchers who study the nature, significance and consequence of Caribbean migration. In keeping with the spirit of the symposium then, this volume applies a transdisciplinary lens to understanding the diversity and complexity of peoples from the Caribbean region and their diasporic communities. KAMILLE GENTLES-PEART (PH.D.) is Assistant Professor of Global Communication at Roger Williams University. She received a B.A. in Mass Communication, with a focus on multicultural journalism, from Lehman College of the City University of New York, and holds a Ph.D. in Communication from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Her general research interests include the relationship between diasporic identity construction, particularly of West Indian women in the U.S., and media engagement. MAURICE L. HALL (PH.D.) is Chair and Associate Professor in the Communication Department at Villanova University, Pennsylvania where he teaches courses on communication in organizations, research methods, and organizational research and consulting. Dr. Hall has also worked as a consultant with a variety of organizations over the past ten years. He specializes in facilitating strategic planning sessions for non-profit organizations, and working with organizations on issues ranging from diversity training and strategic diversity management to conflict management, team building, and organizational communication management. “John Gray, master bibliographer of the Afro-Atlantic world has done it again. His powerful new work, Afro-Cuban Music: A Bibliographic Guide, covers the subject in all its facets, all its glory. I wandered happily through this wondrous text, learning, learning, learning. Gray makes you aware of what an amazing cultural machine black Cuba is, from the habanera to orisha rap and back again. A landmark publication in Black Studies. Despite its relatively small size Cuba has had an inordinately large musical influence both inside the Caribbean and abroad. From the “rhumba” craze of the 1920s and ’30s to mambo and cha-cha-cha in the 1950s and ’60s and the Buena Vista Social Club phenomenon of the late ’90s, Cuba has been central to popular music developments in Latin America, Europe, and the United States. Unfortunately, no one has ever attempted to survey the extensive literature on the island’s music, in particular the vernacular contributions of its Afro-Cuban population. This unprecedented bibliographic guide, the third in ADP’s critically acclaimed Black Music Reference Series, attempts to do just that. Ranging from the 19th century to early 2009 Afro-Cuban Music offers almost 5000 annotated entries on the island’s various festival and Carnival traditions as well as each of its main musical families-Cancion Cubana, Danzon, Jazz, Son, Rumba, and Sacred Musics (Santeria, Palo, Abakua, and Arara)-along with more recent developments such as timba, rap and regueton. It also provides sections on Afro-Cuban musical instruments, the music’s influence abroad, and a biographical and critical component covering the lives and careers of some 800 individual artists and ensembles. Spanish-language sources are covered comprehensively, in particular dozens of locally published journals, along with a sizable cross-section of the international literature in English, French, German, and other European languages. The work concludes with an extensive reference section offering lists of Sources Consulted, a guide to relevant Libraries and Archives, an appendix listing artists and individuals by idiom/occupation, and separate Author and Subject indexes. An essential tool for students, scholars and librarians seeking a window into Afro-Cuban expressive culture-its music and dance, religion, language, literature, aesthetics, and more-both on the island and abroad. The author is veteran bibliographer John Gray whose previous works include Blacks in Classical Music, African Music, Fire Music: a bibliography of the New Jazz, 1959-1990, From Vodou to Zouk, and, Jamaican Popular Music. To order please visit the ADP website: www.african-diaspora-press.com<http://www.african-diaspora-press.com/>. The book is also available through most library wholesalers. Afro-Cuban Music: A Bibliographic Guide is an impressive accomplishment that will prove an invaluable resource for researchers. It is well-organized and offers comprehensive coverage of the available literature, particularly periodical sources which would otherwise be very difficult to find. Users will also appreciate the many annotations included for the details they provide on each work’s contents. Marcia Rowe, Jamaica Gleaner writer, reports on the observation of the 50th anniversary of the Jamaica’s National Dance Theatre Company. In 1961, at the invitation of Norman Manley, 18 leading dancers from different dance schools were thrown together to form the Jamaica Dance Company. They had no repertoire. The following year, 1962, under the same name, they danced at Jamaica’s Independence celebration. But, in September of that year, all the dancers left the original schools that they were part of; and decided to establish themselves as the National Dance Theatre Company (NDTC). Fast forward 50 years later with an extensive repertoire, many international tours, a studio of their own, a feeder school, many new faces, the NDTC celebrates its 50th year of existence. “None among them [the founding members] could have predicted that the company would have accomplished all that it has,” said Barry Moncriefe, NDTC artistic director, at the Company’s 50th anniversary launch last Thursday. “The company has managed to sustain interest in and support for Jamaican dance theatre over five decades, and is revered as one of Jamaica’s most loved cultural treasures. It is for this reason that we remain resolute to our vision to forge out of the Jamaican and Caribbean culture and life, an art form faithful to reality while being a part of a wider world and universal landscape of the creative arts,” continued the longstanding company member. “The LTM and NDTC relationship speaks for itself, we need each other,” she said, before continuing to creatively embroider her personal experiences with the NDTC into her speech. She recounted her first overseas tour with NDTC to Canada as a young journalist at The Gleaner. “The first tour was a birth of what happened after – to travel the world.” There were to be numerous adventures along the way including a “nice time in Atlanta”. With the dance floor of the NDTC studio as the stage, the delightful evening’s programme flowed with a message from the chairman of the Rex Nettleford Foundation, Carlton Davis, a vote of thanks from NDTC Musical Director, Marjorie Whylie, and excerpts from the company’s’ repertoire. The dances were performed by the now generation of dancers. The dances ranged from works from the young choreographer to the old, from the classic to the contemporary. The entertainment package danced off with Oneil Pryce-choreographed Barre Talk. It was followed by Clive Thompson’s Phases of the Moon. Sandwiched between two of Netleford’s works, The Crossing and Odyssey, was a lovely presentation from the NDTC Singers. Some time later, after the formalities, The Gleaner caught up with one of the seven living, founding members of NDTC, Bert Rose. He described the journey of the company as wonderful. “Nettleford had a vision. When we started, we never knew that we would have celebrated 50 years. Only seven of us are still alive out of 18,” said Rose. “Eddy Thomas’ first choreography was called Legendary Lovers Leap, and Rex did a piece called Plantation Revelry,” Rose said, of the beginnings of the company. Rose also went on to explain some of the challenges of development the company faced. “We swept the stage, we painted the backdrop, ironed our clothes, ran box office,” Rose said. As the company developed, they got someone to wash the costumes and hired a costume mistress. Other noted changes over the years are the shift in the choice of musical genre and the incorporation of international choreographers like Cuban-born Edwardo Rivero Walker. Davis was the MC for the evening. Just a couple weeks into the position, he explained that one of his reasons for accepting the post was his belief that this sort of cultural organisation should be supported. It represents the best of Jamaica. And what is to be expected under his stewardship? The year-long NDTC 50th anniversary celebration will continue with the usual calendar events as well as some new ones. The evening was also used to launch the NDTC website.

David Lewis reviews the release of Ifetayo album of the 1970s Trinidadian musical aggregation, Black Truth Rhythm Band, for Black Grooves. Soundway Records, a label that is invested in re-releasing vintage music from the Global South, has found a gem in this 1976 album that, at the time, made very little impact. The Black Truth Rhythm Band, an Afro-centric Trinidadian group, was formed in 1971 but made only one recording before disbanding, though Oluko Imo?the band leader who plays multiple instruments here?went on to record with Fela Kuti. The band formed and released Ifetayo in the midst of the Black Power Movement in Trinidad and, along with performers like Lancelot Layne and Cheryl Byron, responded to the African-centered vibe of the movement in their music, making liberal use of African-style drumming and instruments like the mbira. The album is not simply an African fusion album, though; the band skillfully weaves music from many traditions through a soul and funk-tinged set of tracks. The title track, “Ifetayo,” is deliciously funky and falls into a drum and flute break that sounds decidedly West African. “Kilimanjaro” ends with an up-tempo Latin American guitar break. The band also incorporates steelpan, the national instrument of Trinidad, as an integral part of the group (not simply a flourish to pander to tourists) in “Save D Musician” and “Umbala.” Further emphasizing their Trinidadian roots, “Aspire” is a decidedly funked-up calypso beat, and “Save D Musician” has a calypso-like shuffle and lyrics that address social issues, like any good calypso song. Since this album is a re-issue, listeners have to be invested in the early 1970s sound, but if you are, it’s a strong album that deserved much more attention than it received initially. The album also pre-figured a number of developments in Trinidadian music, including the African-influenced music of rapso artists like Brother Resistance and 3canal, and the current Trinidad-based world fusion band Terrenaisance. Ifetayo is currently available from Soundway in three formats: an MP3 download and CD, both of which contain a bonus track, or, for purists, an LP with a 7” disc containing the bonus track.

When it comes to moving into a new home, there is so many tasks to do and things to plan. After you hire NYC movers for your relocation and NYC professional packers for packing and unpacking your household, you can easily forget things that you will need to prepare for the first night in your NYC home. So, you need to add on your NYC moving checklist a plan for the first night in your NYC home. Also, NYC moving in the last minute can be very stressful but don’t forget to prepare for the first night in your NYC home. You don’t want to spend all of yours first night in your NYC home rummaging through all of your boxes in search of things that you need. It can be your underwear, toothbrushes, medications, toiletries etc. That’s why we bring you tips how to prepare for the first night in your NYC home. Checklist for the first night in NYC is most important for your moving day. So, if you are moving to NYC you need to prepare well, to avoid the biggest NYC moving mistakes. Big Apple moving can be very stressful but don’t forget to prepare for the first night in your NYC home. During the packing process, it is really important to organize and pack your first-night essentials into one of the NYC moving boxes. Packing your stuff for the first night in NYC in box, bag or suitcase will make all the moving process less stressful. But, if you are moving from another state to NYC, and your mover will arrive next week, you need to pack all the essentials that you will need for that week. So, your “first night box” will be a “first-week” suitcase. After you pack a first night bag for yourself, you also need to pack a home essentials box for the first night in your NYC home. You can label your box with: “first night home essentials”. And we recommend that you bring this box with you. In this way, you don’t need to wait movers to unload a moving truck and to find this important box. So, you will not waste time for searching toilet paper or something that you need immediately. That’s why we bring you list what to pack in the home essential box for the first night in your NYC home. If you are moving to NYC with kids, it is really important that you have time for preparing them and their stuff for the first night in your NYC home. So, to have time for this process first you should use NYC moving services. Make it easier for you by preparing all family essentials in an accessible box. Prepping a “first-night” bag with familiar items will also make their experience fun and less stressful. It is a good idea to plan what items to unpack that first night in your NYC home. Moving can be really exhausting, and you can be very tired, so, unpack first items that you really need. Start with sheets for the bed and then with stuff such as forks, knives, plates, mugs, etc. And don’t expect to unpack everything in short time. You don’t need to unpack everything in the first week. Take time. Have a plan what items to unpack first in the first night in your NYC home. How to enjoy the first night in your NYC home? After you unpack your essentials, it is time to enjoy in your new NYC home. You have time to do unpack other boxes, in the first night, you should celebrate our successful move. So, instead of stressing yourself with cooking, order take-out or delivery instead. Then you can enjoy dinner with your family and you can play a game with them. Or you can just relax and read a book. But if you are insisting on unpacking boxes, the first night just make sure that each box is in the right room. The first day in your NYC home you can introduce yourself to the new neighbors. If you have kids, find other neighbors with children to meet them. You should plan in advance what you need on the first night in your NYC home. Mark your box of essential things so you will know which box to unpack first. There is nothing so frustrating than searching for the right in the middle of the night. Unpack all the cooking and eating items you’ll need for the next couple of days. Also, electrical appliances you should put out on the nearest place, so you can easily prepare what you need. For example, tea, coffee, toast etc. Don’t forget to unpack your medical bag if you have any prescription drugs or painkillers for a stress headache. Also, think about essential items you’ll need for breakfast in the morning. For example cereal, butter or margarine, tea bags, coffee, milk, bread, etc. This also means that you have to keep the area in the kitchen clear so you can prepare your first breakfast. Good luck and happy first night in NYC!

Knocked off her feet after twenty years in public health nursing, Iris Graville quit her job and convinced her husband and their thirteen-year-old twin son and daughter to move to Stehekin, a remote mountain village in Washington State’s North Cascades. They sought adventure; she yearned for the quiet and respite of this community of eighty-five residents accessible only by boat, float plane, or hiking. Hiking Naked chronicles Graville’s journey through questions about work and calling as well as how she coped with ordering groceries by mail, black bears outside her kitchen window, a forest fire that threatened the valley, and a flood that left her and her family stranded for three days. This memoir of “seeking, not escaping” speaks to the hearts of those longing to be free from modern constraints—work, money, ambition, stress of all sorts—to find their bliss, wherever it might be. For Graville, in 1993, that means listening to the urgings of her heart and leaving her job as a public health nurse in Bellingham, WA, and moving her family to Stehekin, a remote village near North Cascades National Park. What resonates throughout is her deep connection to Quakerism; here a gentle, quiet spirituality that encourages places and periods of silence rather than imposing rigid external demands. As her husband and children agree to this experiment, over the two years, all come in their own way to say, “I thought I knew about powerlessness,” only to find that the rigors of living life simply require letting go of much more than they ever could have imagined. Graville concludes that “Far from feeling deprived, we found over and over again the riches of attending to what’s truly important.” VERDICT: Reading this expressive and beautifully written memoir is to experience one’s own quest toward self-discovery. In this lovely memoir of a time in transition, Iris Graville looks at the themes of what it means to unearth and follow an inner calling while yet responding to the demands of daily living and providing. In her own words she “attends to what is important”, stripping down to a naked awareness that “the smallest touch, the briefest contact, the quietest diligence can make a difference – can change the course of a river.” The reader will experience the difficulties and joys of living in the wilds in the remote village of Stehekin and will perhaps undergo with Iris the rich and nourishing journey of coming to clearness and balance.

The fate of the arena is up in the air after celebrated architect Frank Gehry stepped out of the project. Frank Gehry is bowing out as the architect of the planned Nets arena at the controversial Atlantic Yards project in downtown Brooklyn. Developer Bruce Ratner’s group announced today a “mutual agreement” in which “starchitect” Gehry would relinquish his role as chief designer of the Barclays Center, which would house the Brooklyn Nets. "I have an immense gratitude toward Frank Gehry for his amazing vision, unparalleled talent and steadfast partnership," Ratner said. Forest City Ratner had landed $400 million from Barclays Bank for naming rights to the Gehry-designed arena. From the very beginning, Ratner's plan to build a huge complex of residential towers, commercial space and an arena for the Nets in the middle of Brooklyn has been controversial. Local residents rallied against it, because of its use of taxpayer subsidies and its use of eminent domain to allow the state to seize land for the project's use. They also argued that it sacrificed the character of Brownstone Brooklyn. Support for the project came from lawmakers including Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Until the bottom fell out of the economy, it looked like the project would go through. Recently, construction has been beset by delays as the developers try to line up financing. Ratner has said that the project at the intersection of Atlantic and Pacific Streets in Brooklyn would be scaled back, but would still materialize. Now, analysts question whether Barclays and other investors will stay on board without the involvement of the famous architect.

With the 1955 debut of the new Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and its Bentley S-type sibling, British magazine “The Autocar” raved, “The latest Bentley model offers a degree of safety, comfort and performance that is beyond the experience and perhaps even the imagination of the majority of the world’s motorists.” Praise indeed, but considering its price at nearly twice that of a top-range Cadillac, it really had to deliver. Larger and roomier than the preceding R-type, with a longer all-new chassis and front suspension setup, the five- to six-seater S-type washed away any prewar influences with fully integrated front fenders and a tapering profile that satisfied modern tastes without offending traditionalists. While the 4-speed GM Hydra-Matic automatic transmission used in the preceding R-type was retained, performance was enhanced by adopting the enlarged 4887cc 6-cylinder block employed in the final R-type Continentals. The S-type was road tested at 103 MPH, sprinting from 0-60 MPH in 13.1 seconds. The lavish appointments, including picnic tables and a leather interior set off with burr walnut, were taken as granted, as well as refinements such as an electric ride control switch to vary the rear shock absorber settings. This 1956 right-hand drive example tastefully liveried in two-tone silver and blue features the GM automatic transmission fitted to all but a very few S1s, and it rides on radial whitewall tires. The S1 is a fitting final flourish of the illustrious 6-cylinder Bentley theme that began in the 1920s, a fact appreciated by many owners who consider the S1 easier to live with than the S2 which followed. Moreover, although differing only in detail from its Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud counterpart, the S1 was considerably more popular. Perhaps that’s because Bentley owners generally preferred to drive rather than let chauffeurs have all the fun.

Kia is one of the most successful car brands in the United States, and this is due to a great marketing campaign backed by the excellent quality and competitive pricing. The amazing achievement here is that Kia increased their market share by more than 300 percent since the early 2000s. So what happened that made Kia so popular? Kia Motors introduced a strategy many foreign car companies since implemented for the U.S. market; specific models available and tailored for North America alone. This proved to be the right move, and the latest Kia models hold their finger on the pulse of American car owners better than some domestic car companies. Everything from design to mechanical solutions, from marketing to pricing is geared towards needs and habits of the drivers in North America, creating a line of vehicles that offer comfort, reliability, style, and competitive pricing. Used car dealerships in Las Vegas owe plenty of their business to Kia models, and this is mainly because of the build quality. Since Kia keeps updating their models every couple of years, used Kia vehicles can often be found in excellent shape and for a very reasonable price. We at Reliable Auto Sales offer a number of certified pre-owned Kia models, many of which are still under factory warranty. Seeing as many of the Kia dealerships in Las Vegas are booming with the sales of new models, used Kia's are affordable and offer excellent value for money. We have an excellent selection of used Kia models, and the best way to really assess and comprehend advantages of these cars is to test drive them and get to know the specific details regarding the car and the offer itself. Visit us at our Las Vegas location and schedule a test drive where our courteous staff can walk you through the car specs and the details of the offer.

As the media attacks against our President intensify, millions of Trump supporters become even more resolute to defend and support him. It’s interesting to note, that some of the most notable attacks on President Trump over the past week don’t have anything to do with Russia. It’s almost as though ever since President Trump demanded that the FISA warrant for Carter Page and FBI text messages are declassified without redaction, the media has moved away from the phony Trump-Russia collusion narrative?? Just in the past 3 weeks, an anonymous op-ed was published in the Trump-hating New York Times, from a “senior officials in the White House”. Last week, Diane Feinstein dropped a bombshell about an anonymous letter from a woman, who turned out to be a Democrat activist. In her letter, that was delivered in July to Senator Feinstein, Christine Blasey Ford accused Trump’s US Supreme Court Justice candidate, Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault 36 years ago. And only yesterday, the New York Times dropped another bombshell, claiming Deputy AG, Rod Rosenstein wanted to wear a wire to reveal “the chaos” inside President Trump’s White House, to use as evidence to help invoke the 25th Amendment, used to remove a sitting President who is deemed “unfit” to serve. Last night, however, over 11,000 Americans showed their allegiance to President Trump and his steadfast resolve to “drain the swamp”, as they flocked to the Missouri State University campus to support our President and to hear Trump speak. It was a sea of red. The number of people who wore “Make America Great Again” caps and pro-Trump shirts far outweighed a few hundred protesters gathered near the entrance of the arena. John Brown, a reporter who attended the incredible event, tweeted an image of the line. In his tweet, Brown claimed that the line was 2 miles long and that the first people in line started at about 5:30 am. “AnythingWithWheels” tweeted a couple of great pictures showing the crowd, standing in the rain, as they wait to get into Trump’s rally. He claims the photo only reveals a “small portion” of the crowd. “Trump rally impossible to get into” because of the massive line of Trump supporters. Americans are traveling from all over the United States to see President Trump at his high-energy, rock-star-like rallies. The Springfield News Leader was at the MAGA event. Another Trump supporter who said she’d found her people was Brenda Rounds. Today’s joint rally with President Trump and AG Josh Hawley began with a prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem.

I’ve been out of the loop the last couple of weeks. Wizard World Comic Con was great, our table was about ten feet away from Amy Acker’s, I met a lot of really nice people, sold a bunch of books, was even interviewed a couple of times. Unfortunately, during all of my glad-handing, I picked up an extremely unpleasant flu virus that hit me with five days of fever. Even now, a week later, I’m on the mend but still very weak. It’s taken me a little while but I’m finally starting to catch up on things. Pictures from Comic Con are now available on my Facebook page. One of the two interviews I gave is now online, over at Press +1. The two best things about this con: seeing people come up to the table and pointing at one of the Felix Renn chapbooks and saying, “I already have that one!” And a couple of people who bought chapbooks coming back to the table later in the day to say they already started reading them and couldn’t put them down. I found out that my Felix Renn story, “My Body,” and another short story, “The Candle” (that appeared in Shadows & Tall Trees), received honourable mentions in Ellen Datlow’s Best Horror of the Year, Volume 4. In other news, I have seen the almost-final draft of the cover artwork for my forthcoming ChiZine collection, Every House Is Haunted, and it is absolutely fantastic. Ever since my book was accepted, I’ve been imagining what my cover was going to look like, because the CZP covers are always so incredible. Artist Erik Mohr didn’t disappoint, and I think you’re really going to dig his take on haunted houses. I should be able to post it here in the next day or two, and the pre-order info for the limited edition hardcover should be online around the same time. A new Felix Renn story, “Out of the Blue,” has been sold to an anthology called Fungi, edited by by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Orrin Grey, to be published by Innsmouth Free Press later this fall. I remember meeting Orrin Grey a few years ago at Readercon, and he told me about his fungus fascination. It was one of the first things he told me, in fact, and I recall smiling, nodding, and backing away slowly. Then he explained that he was interested in fungus-related stories (Hodgson’s “The Voice in the Night,” Lovecraft’s Fungi from Yuggoth, Jeff VanderMeer’s Ambergis books) and that it was his hope to one day put together a collection of them for a themed anthology. Well, it finally happened, and I’m very happy to be a part of it. I’m particularly excited about “Out of the Blue” because it introduces a new character to the Black Lands universe. Jerry Baldwin is a smooth-talking real estate agent (and Felix’s sometime lawyer) who only represents haunted properties. Haunted houses, haunted apartments, haunted condos, haunted farms, etc. In addition to providing a bit of comic relief, Jerry is an example of the way ordinary people have adapted to live in a world where the supernatural exists as a part of their daily lives. In Jerry’s case, he tries to make a few bucks out of the situation. Fungi will be published in hardcover, paperback, and as an e-book. The hardcover will feature some bonus material not included in the other editions. Very excited about this one! When I say standalone, I mean that while this story takes place in the Black Lands universe, it does not feature Toronto p.i. Felix Renn. I love writing about Felix, and I plan to do so for many years to come, but you only get a small view of the world through the eyes of a single character. This new story is one of many that explores how other people in other parts of the world are dealing with the existence of the Black Lands. “Day Pass” will appeared in the EDGE books anthology Chilling Tales 2, edited by Michael Kelly. The book isn’t scheduled to come out until February 2013, but I’ve got a couple of other announcements coming up for some things that you’ll be able to get your mitts on a bit sooner. Details to come.

Racer Tech's Super Heavy Duty Radius Rod Kit will replace the weak factory radius rods with a substantially stronger design. Here's the fix for the weakest link on the RZR XP 1000 & RZR XP 900. These Radius Rods are a direct bolt-on replacement and work with the OEM trailing arm and knuckle/spindle. They are 1.25" dia. USA tubing and use 5/8" FK heim joints. The rods have a little room for adjustments for the inclined rider to tweak the handling a little bit if desired. The adjustment provided from this kit is the static camber settings. By adjusting the rear camber one can control how aggressive the bite of the rear tire is in a corner and find a preferred balance of understeer / oversteer which is how much the machine pushes or slides out in a corner. This setting while controlling handling going into a corner, can also fine tune traction coming out of a turn. Put together the ultimate front suspension on your RZR XP 900 or RZR XP 4 900 with Racer Tech proven Replacement Arm Kit, SHD Tie Rods and our long lasting Delrin Pivot Bushings and High Precision Sleeves.Come standard in matte black or we can powder coat to the colour of your choice.

U.S. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez is promoting a Rhode Island labor union’s apprenticeship program as a model for lifting the underemployed into better jobs. Perez visited a plumber and pipefitter union in East Providence on Friday. Perez says apprenticeships are as viable as college as pathways to prosperity, but without the debt. He toured a federally-funded training program with officials including Gov. Gina Raimondo and Rhode Island’s two U.S. senators, Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse. All are Democrats. The United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters, Local 51, recently launched its six-week, pre-apprenticeship program through the Real Jobs Rhode Island initiative. After learning the basics of welding and other skills, the trainees move into five-year paid apprenticeships. The Obama administration last month announced $90 million in funding for similar programs nationwide.

Anyone else still waiting on a yellow 920? Guys, just wanted to let you know... Its 6:40am eastern and its STILL in stock at the premiere site! If anyone is up and about. GO FOR IT NOW! I know I haven't checked in yet, but I wanted to let you know that the phone came in just as indicated and it was definitely worth the wait. My wife fell in love with it as well and wanted me to order one. Out of nowhere I get a shipment confirmation for my original order (Which is still listed as "Cancelled"). Now I have to figure out if AT&T can assign that phone to her when it gets here. Anyway, It looks every bit as amazing as I expected. I love it. It just have a favor to ask from anyone that has received theirs yet. Can someone upload the sample pictures folder online. I accidentally deleted it and I really liked these pics. I dont want to have to restore the phone because I deleted some pics. Anyway, good luck everyone the yellows are coming around finally. I wish you guys in Europe some good luck as well. Dont give up on it! I kind of am. Actually got mine about 2 weeks after it was first released, but I've been having quite a few freezing problems with it. Even doing a factory reset is a pain since it bricks the phone. AT&T said they'll replace the phone for me but they have no yellows in stock (only black, white and red). I love the yellow color, but to be honest I'm getting to the point I'm willing to try something else the freezing problems are so bad. I check with their chat people pretty much everyday (over the past week) to see if status has changed, but no dice. Good luck to those of you who were able to get the phone through Premier. Ordered a cyan and yellow from Walmart Wireless back on November 26. Still waiting for anupdate on the order status. Walmart's customer service doesn't know anything, and Nokia's just refers back to Walmart. With the India launch, it's starting to feel like maybe Nokia doesn't know what the **** is going on. I am waiting for a red 920 ordered from Phones4U as soon as it came back in stock. Still no dispatch notification. I am starting to worry that they did not really have them in stock. Anyone in the same situation? Just got it 10 min ago! The yellow is much deeper than the pictures seem to show, I like it! Nice, mine will be at my house when i get home this evening, but i bought mine used on ebay. The plus side is that it came with a yellow wireless charger as well. If for some reason i dont love it, ill probably swap it out for a note 2. it's funny over here as most of the retailers don't even bother to put estimates anymore, just "date open". Hopefully Nokia gets it shorted. Yep we have another yellow one on order since nov28th. Still waiting. Unacceptable. My order with Walmart is being canceled tomorrow, I really didn't care what color it was and they seem unwilling to offer me any other color that they have in stock or any other incentive to stay with my order, the forums are great but I'm spending too much time on these boards looking for any news on my mystery phone. I don't think I will be getting a 920 even though i desperately wanted one, the allure is wearing off. if I have waited this long I might as well see what they bring out on the next release and I will not be ordering whatever I get, it is either in my hand or no deal. a little update on the yellows from walmart, i went on chat with walmart and they were telling me that the phones were on hold from the manufacturer. i went on chat with nokia and they told me that walmart does not have an open order with nokia for yellow lumia 920's at this time. bottom line on this is if walmart cannot get a good deal from the manufacturer they will not order the phones period. if you really need a yellow it is probably best to go another route. you can change your order and settle for a black as i did at the original pricing. the idea of a phone in another color other than black grew on me, i guess now at least i can blend in with the crowd. Wooohooo got my phone now . Anyone else have this sound issue... ( I am on Lumia 920 ) ... think its a Windows Phone 8 bug. Anyone else want Steam Mobile on WP7? Does anyone else have an update waiting for them?

Many Lending Club investors just use the filtering on LendingClub.com to make their investments. Other investors, like me, download all the in-funding notes into a CSV file and do their filtering in Excel. If you are part of the first group then this change will not apply to you. For those of us who download the CSV file from the Browse Notes screen then you will notice some big changes starting today. The additional data includes loan details and status, third-party reported credit attributes, and information reported by the borrower. This detailed information can be downloaded by logged in users from any page of our Browse Notes section by clicking on the “Download All” link on the bottom right corner of the page. If you don’t know where to find this download link Lending Club also provided this useful graphic to help you locate it. There are some very useful additional fields in this file, some that I have been wanting for a long time such as loan listing URL and additional credit data. In reality, this change is mostly about additional credit data with a few small tweaks elsewhere. Unfortunately, this new data is not available in the big loan history file so we won’t be able to do much analysis on this other data just yet. I have a bunch of macros that I run inside Excel that helps me with filtering so these will all have to be rewritten before I can use them again. While this is somewhat of a hassle I like that investors are getting more data on borrowers now. To check out the new layout right now here is a direct link to download the new CSV file. Do you know if they have plans to add that info to the “big loan history file”? @Lou, I chatted with LC about that today and while they said a project is “in the works” for additions to the download file, nothing is imminent. Outstanding. I had asked for loan title, as there are a few keywords that can be added to my probability model now. Can’t wait for them to update the history, too, with all of the credit stuff, to do some more soul searching =). Ahhhh! Loan listing links—one click and done to invest! Super sweet! @Bryce, Indeed. I think the only thing they took out was job title which I know disappointed some investors. But I can understand that because if you know the employer and the job title it doesn’t take much detective work to find out the identity of the borrower. hey peter–are you planning at all to update the excel macro on your p2p lending wealth system? i’ve found it invaluable for filtering. @Hector, Yes, I am in the process of updating the Excel macro – it will be available within a few days. I will be send out an email to all P2P Lending Wealth System owners when it is ready to go. Are the loan in the CSV still hours or days out of date? I used to look at the CSV data but half the time the loans would already be 100% fully funded on the site. @Em, No. I would say the CSV is completely up to date. Make sure you use the link on the Browse Notes screen to Download the CSV file there and not the In-Funding Loan Data CSV in the Statistics (that one is out of date). They really should remove that latter one or at least have it link to the same file. Has anyone been able to get the file to download without manually logging in? By writing code to download it or by linking a database to it? @John, I know Lendstats is able to access this file so I imagine it would be not that difficult to just write a script to log yourself in and grab the file. It is a bit out of my area of expertise but it doesn’t sound very difficult.

Not a lot keeps Mark Zuckerberg up at night. When he slips between his — presumably luxury — sheets, rests his head and closes his weary eyes, it’s unlikely his sleep will be disturbed by worries over his cable bill or the cost of servicing his car. As his peers toss and turn, fretting over the problems they’ll have to face the following morning, the 28 year-old billionaire drifts into a deep, satisfied sleep. However, if you snuck into the Zuckerberg household under the cover of night (assuming you manage to evade the inevitable security) you might find the pyjama’d Zuckerberg in the kitchen; pacing back and forth as he hyperventilates into a brown paper bag, his pan of warm milk bubbling-over on the hob. What could possibly be troubling him? Well, it’s very simple: like every other social network, Zuckerberg’s staff have one giant headache, how do they monetize their service before investors start using phrases like “return on investment”? And like every other social network, Zuckerberg’s staff have fixed their sights on the one area that may deliver the kind of revenue they need to keep surviving: advertising. Advertising is nothing new to Facebook, they’re currently attempting to settle a multi-million dollar lawsuit that alleges they made use of their users’ private data in their ‘sponsored stories’ advertising feature. Zuckerberg himself has acknowledged their interest in targeted advertising, calling ‘personal referrals’ the holy grail of advertising. One has to wonder if the purchase of Instagram was made to limit the opt-out possibilities for Facebook’s one billion users, which would have been substantially greater had the terms only been applied to Facebook’s in-house app. Executives can’t have failed to anticipate the response the change would provoke, with many users going so far as to describe it as Instagram’s suicide note, and sites like Wired publishing instructions on how to delete your Instagram account. It’s important to understand that Instagram isn’t claiming ownership of your intellectual property; they are asserting the right to make use of it, anywhere in the world, for the purposes of advertising third party products, without your permission and without paying you a dime. As of January 16th 2013, expect to see photographs of the most popular kids at school, used to advertise clubs, bars and shops to the least popular. Expect to see the photographs of your girlfriend sunbathing, plastered over adverts for the local singles-scene. Expect to see photographs of your husband, advertising local bankruptcy services. As you lay in bed, worrying over what your friends and family, co-workers and neighbors are being sold using your ‘endorsement’, spare a thought for Mark Zuckerberg; he’ll probably be fast asleep. Have you deleted your Instagram account as a result of their new terms? Do you trust corporations with your personal data? Let us know in the comments below.

Today's design team project was created for Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamps using the Toadstool Princess digi stamp. Many of Vera's images are so whimsical and this little princess is no exception! I will be entering her @ Paper Nest Dolls for "May Challenge", @ Star Stampz for "Hand Colored Image", @ Craft Rocket Challenges for " Use Embellishments", @ Dragonfly Dreams for "Here Come the Girls" and @ Dream Valley Challenge for "Add Ribbon and/or Lace". Since purple and green are my two favorite colors, I really enjoyed coloring her up with my colored pencils. I chose the background papers to compliment along with my embellishments. Once again, my Scan N Cut machine came through and did the fussy cutting for me beautifully!

A job you hate is like a bad haircut. It’s hard to hide, it makes you unhappy, and it’s probably led to quite a few tears. A new job that you hate is even worse. Can you simply walk away from your new position? Well, sure—but then you’ll face the challenge of explaining that ever-expanding employment gap to future employers. Unless it’s truly unbearable, it makes far more sense to reap whatever benefits you can and continue to collect a paycheck until a new door opens. To do that, however, you have to get in the right mindset. If your attitude is only bitterness, resentment, and anger when you walk through your office doors each morning, that’s going to show up in your work. I know you can’t control everything at work. But if you’ve read some of my previous columns, you know I’m a big proponent of identifying when and where you can take control—and doing so. Your mind is one thing you can (mostly) control. Instead of bitterness, here are a few healthier mindsets to try. You deserve to build your network and your resume through your role at the company. However, unlike a paycheck, your employer can’t just hand you great experience and a rock-solid professional network. Taking advantage of those opportunities is largely up to you. For example, maybe you get assigned a task you aren’t fond of—like developing a press release for a small event, which you feel is a waste of your time. You could put in minimal effort, write a crummy release, and turn it in at the last minute. Or, you could connect with key players in your organization to get some solid quotes for your release, perfect a catchy lead, and turn in the best product possible. Then, when a version of your document is published, you could email the people you quoted to say thank you and share a link to the story, then add the release to your portfolio. Committing that extra effort—which can seriously build your relationships and portfolio—is entirely up to you. When you get busy building your experience and relationships, you might be surprised by a couple of things. First, you might be able to bring your contributions (e.g., if you increased revenue, expanded company exposure, caught a mistake before it became a costly issue or PR nightmare, or pushed a difficult project through on time and on or under budget) to the bargaining table to improve your compensation. Even if you aren’t able to negotiate a higher pay rate in your current role, your relationships and experience may eventually open doors for you to move on up to a better position. Do you feel like you work with a bunch of jerks? That stinks, but in reality, it’s almost impossible that every single person at your job is a first-class a-hole. There has to be at least someone—probably several someones—who are decent people. But if you just sit at your desk stewing about your misfortune or grouse about your unhappiness every time you get an opportunity to talk with someone, you’ll never build relationships with these folks. If you seek opportunities to connect when and where you can, however, you are likely to reap a range of benefits from your new relationships. For starters, those people will make your job more enjoyable. Plus, your new network may also be able to alert you to new opportunities and provide references when those opportunities arise. When it comes to building connections, you aren’t limited to the people in the cube to your right and left. Wander around the place and meet people who work in different areas. Get creative in the ways you connect with people. Consider bringing in donuts in the morning and engaging in chit-chat away from your desk, joining a workout at the company gym, showing up to happy hour, or bringing up the marathon you ran last week to strike up conversation about hobbies and interests. When you connect with people in ways other than standard work talk, you get a chance to know them differently and more holistically. Instead of seeing Hilde as the person who asks a lot of questions about every single project, for instance, you might see Hilde as the analytical thinker who built her own robot and likes the Science Channel—and so of course Hilde questions everything. Now the habit that was annoying is just a quirk that makes Hilde, Hilde. Do the bare minimum? Not you. Remember, your company owes you good, resume-building experience, so you’re going to do your job and then some. Look for opportunities to be innovative, to push a project beyond just “getting it done,” to take something to the next level. Let’s say you have to give a presentation about the status of a project to your organization’s board of directors. You could get up and give the standard PowerPoint complete with lengthy bullet points, charts, and graphs, with the dynamism of a sloth. Or, you can take a few tips from Carmine Gallo and tell a compelling story about the project that reminds the listeners of why the project matters and include photos or a video that allows the audience to literally see what’s happening on the project. Maybe you have to launch a new initiative, and there is likely to be some dissent in the ranks. You can communicate only through convoluted emails and ignore any questions or frustrations that the team expresses. Or, you can walk out of your office and make a point of meeting key players face-to-face, discussing the initiative, considering their feedback, and following up with them about their suggestions. You may not win everyone over, but you’ll definitely gain respect. Sloth or dynamo. Cold or personable. Those distinctions largely lie in your choices and actions, and they will make a difference when it’s time to discuss a raise, promotion, or new opportunity. When you swap out a defeating mindset for a mindset that allows you to thrive, you might inadvertently create new opportunities for yourself that you can’t see right now. You might even figure out the job isn’t that bad (and just maybe the biggest problem was in your own head). But if not, your amazing experience, solid reputation, and supportive network will help you on to your next opportunity. Photo of man using tablet courtesy of Shutterstock.

It's Luke Jermay's dangerous opener. Not sure which came first, but Luke has the same effect. He uses a slightly different presentation, but a brick and a father would work just as well. Also has the very specific wording you mentioned. kartoffelngeist wrote: It's Luke Jermay's dangerous opener. Not sure which came first, but Luke has the same effect.

Do you know if his effect in still in print anywhere or on DVD etc? Just so I can see if my method can be honed. I'm definitely going to try it out in a couple of weeks and see how it plays! Nevermind - just discovered it was in Coral Fang. I was lucky enough to find a copy as it's out of print. Expected delivery in 3 days. Hopefully it's as good as the TM reviews from way back in 2006!!!!! kevmundo wrote: Nevermind - just discovered it was in Coral Fang. I was lucky enough to find a copy as it's out of print. Expected delivery in 3 days. Hopefully it's as good as the TM reviews from way back in 2006!!!!! kevmundo wrote: Not sure I'll get any takers on this one but since this is TM I'll give it a shot! I can't sleep. I mean I literally can't sleep because of this brick in a bag effect. A spectator sits at a table and two bags are in front of him. The performer is very specific and states, 'pick a bag, and to be clear, whichever bag you choose will be the one I open, turn upside down and let the contents drop on your hand.' The spec picks the one on the right, it's turned upside down and a feather comes out. The other is turned upside down and a brick comes out. Now, I have woken up in the middle of the night twice now dreaming about this effect, or I should say, having nightmares about it. It can't be equivoque since the performer is so specific. It must (I have convinced myself) be a mxxxxxe oxt. But what possible oxt could it be. I have thought of several oxts but they are all total c*** (not the best) and for the life of me I cannot think of a natural ending that would look clean. I'm findng it difficult to focus on anything else at the minute. I'm not asking for anyone to tip any commercial methods since the oxt is never revealed. I'm not aware of it being commercially available? (If it is, please tell me and I'll buy it!). So, if you have an active imagination and you genuiely want to prevent me going on a killing spree, would you be kind enough to PM me if you have any ideas for a decent mxxxxxxe oxt for this effect. I can tell you all my many ideas, but I can assure you, they aren't any good! This is such a typical magicians problem? You don't need to switch things out, you don't need gimmicks just use equivoque, done right the spectator has no idea so what difference does it make? Hint: It doesn't, it only makes a difference to you. Did you ever see him perform the effect again? Just because he was so specific does not rule it out. I'm assuming you haven't seen Max perform it? Forgive me if I'm wrong. There is no way on earth that this effect is achieved using equivoque. Max states quite clearly "There are two bags in front of you. Select one of them and whichever one you select I will empty the contents of that bag onto your hand." He emphasises that the choice is free and the selected bag will be emptied on his hand. Eugene Burger picks a bag. It has a feather in it. The other has a brick. As I've said previously, my opinion is that the effect isn't an effect at all and Max was just lucky. It's just a genuine choice. The trick to it is there isn't a trick. Oh I do hope you're right. I got a little E-mail this morning from Ebay saying that my manuscript has been dispatched. From what I've read of the reviews it's a beautiful piece of work. Really looking forward to getting it. I'll let you know if I have a lightbulb moment once I've read it! Just so you know I received my copy of Coral Fang. It's interesting (though slightly off topic) - the entire manuscript is what I call "Advanced Mentalism." That doesn't mean that it's difficult. It means that it's so advanced hardly anyone will perform it. In my view there's two types of mentalism: Straightforward and Advanced. Straightforward mentalism is mentalism that's either self working or requires memory systems or just plain hard practice. Advanced mentalism (IMHO) is the kind of mentalism that when you read the method you say to yourself "NO XXXXXXX way is that gonna work" and you throw it in your 'never to be performed in a million years draw.' A good example would be 'Tervil' or 'A question and the answer' in PME. The swindels are so bold, so daring, so obvious once you know their secret, that no-one with a single brain cell would dare to perform them. BUT...... There are some that realise they CAN be performed, and with great success. And it's those people that are the "advanced mentalists" in my view. Coral Fang is just that, and I imagine 90% of people who bought it cried when they read some of the methods. I read, read, read and re-read Dangerous Opener. It annoyed me because it's a Dunninger subtlety I am aware of and it is explained in full in Psychological Subleties which I own, but Luke Jermay has simply employed the concept in a beautiful, elegant and effortless way. We all stand on the shoulders of giants I suppose. Well, I have made a decision. I'm giving an after dinner speech at a Rotary Club on 21st November. This is going to be my closer. I'm using Luke Jermay's method. There's going to be approximately 50 people present. Anything less and I'd be too scared to use it. If it works then I'll let you know. I have a masonic Ladies night gig in February (approx 100 people) and I' m desperate to find a powerful closer for it. Hoping this is it.......... but......... it's advanced mentalism, so I'm scared!!! New to the forum but I too was kept awake by this brick in a bag video from Max. I know there are many people who have published a solution. I have a solution that is simple and elegant. I do not want it published here. If you P.M. me, I will let you know my solution as simple as I think it is. Cheers, Brad. Last edited by radbrad on Jul 6th, '17, 01:27, edited 1 time in total.

Background and objective: The aim of this study is to define the level of organizational citizenship behavior and perception of organizational justice and related factors in employees of Cukurova University Hospital. Methodology: Our sample consisted of 159 employees. Data was collected with a sociodemographic questionnaire, Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale, and Perception of Organizational Justice Scale. Results: All subdomain scores of organizational citizenship behavior were at the lowest quartile. Three out of four subordinates scores of perception of organizational justice were in moderate-high group. Only informational justice score was in low-moderate group. The significant related factors for all subdomains of organizational citizenship behavior were number of children, occupation, and tenure. Age was significantly related to all subordinates except civic virtue. Gender was significantly related to courtesy and sportsmanship. Perception of organizational justice was significantly related to age, number of patients per day, and the department where the participant works. Organizational citizenship behavior was significantly correlated with perception of organizational justice. Conclusion: As the level of organizational citizenship behavior were found to be low and the level of perception of organizational justice were found to be moderate-high in employees of Cukurova University Hospital, interventions are required to improve the level of organizational citizenship behavior and informational justice.

April Parker, one of the stars of Marvel's Runaways, has teased her character's plot for season 2. Runaways is one of two Marvel TV shows that are aimed at young adults, and season 2 is due to stream on Hulu in December. Parker plays Catherine Wilder, one of the key members of the criminal group known as the Pride, whose plans have been severely disrupted by their teenage children. Season 1 left the Wilder family divided, with Catherine and her husband heartbroken after Alex and his friends left home and took to the streets - finally becoming the titular Runaways. Although Catherine doesn't know it, her son Alex seems to have gone to extreme lengths to prepare to defend himself; in the last episode, he even managed to acquire a gun. Catherine isn't going to find it easy to pull her family back together again. In an interview with Hulu Watcher, Parker teased that her character will remain dedicated to Alex over the course of season 2. Catherine and her husband, Geoffrey have just one goal: to find Alex and bring him home. Although she wouldn't give any details, she confirmed that the Wilders will use "all the resources at our disposal," including the corrupt police force of Los Angeles. Where Catherine had been divided and conflicted in Runaways season 1, now she's laser-focused. "All of the regret and conflict is gone," Parker explained. "Now, she has one goal and that’s getting Alex back. And she’ll make that happen by any means necessary." The final scenes of season 1 showed the group walking through Los Angeles at sunrise, one of the best moments in the series yet. It put their situation in frankly a far more realistic context than even the comics ever achieved; the teens' privileged upbringing means they're in over their heads. What's more, the Wilders have already ensured the police are looking for them. It will be fascinating to see if Catherine Wilder's focus causes problems for the Pride. The TV version of the Pride is slightly different to the original comic book incarnation; rather than committed criminals, they're unwilling agents of a mysterious being named Jonah. Jonah's true motives remain unrevealed, but he's unlikely to take well to the Pride's failure to control their children. What's more, Jonah has no qualms about killing the Runaways - indeed, he already killed Nico Minoru's sister Amy, a fact that will no doubt leave Catherine and Geoffrey Wilder deeply concerned. Interestingly, Parker insisted that she had to read through the comics in order to truly understood Catherine Wilder's character. Her goal is to honor Brian K. Vaughan's original Runaways comic book run, which is one of the most beloved in comic book history. Given that's the case, viewers should expect Catherine to be one of the most dangerous, and ruthless, members of the Pride. Now that her goal is simplified, she's going to be a force to be reckoned with. Marvel's Runaways returns on Hulu on December 21.

Have you ever been caught snoozing at work? Or has anyone pointed out or woke you up while you dozed off on the desk? Getting caught in a guerilla nap, especially by your manager is quite embarrassing. And while napping is not a welcoming act at workplace, contemporary organisations are paying increasing attention to this concern to save on their cost. A sleep deprived and fatigued employee is less productive than an active one. Hence, allowing power nap is a saviour for lackadaisical employee. Researchers say that a nap has carries same magnitude of benefits as a full night sleep. Renowned organisations such as Google, Zappos, PwC and Capital One Labs are among the ones who let their employees succumb to nap at work. Why is it OK to take a nap in office? Napping helps an employee regain lost concentrations levels. It is quite rejuvenating and boosts productivity. It holds potential to reduce anxiety and depression that creeps in mind of an individual due to pressing deadlines and commitments. Above all, companies have understood that the barometer of organisational success lies in the health of employees. So, they don’t leave any stone unturned to keep employees in sane during the working hours. Best for getting straight back to work. A 10 to 20 minutes nap is a powerful one for body and mind. It helps to release fatigue and lets you regain vigour. You can take a power nap during the tea time if your manager doesn’t let you take a nap on desk. It is best to move out of your work stations and find a place that is less crowded. Get a quick nap and keep your mobile on vibrate mode, so that it becomes easy for you to wake up after 15-20 minutes. A 30 minutes nap! It creates a sleep hangover after you wake up, so take some additional time of around 10 minutes to regain consciousness. It is advisable, that when you need a siesta of 30 minutes, seek permission of your manager, maybe in person. If your manager will be cooperative one he/she won’t stop you from it. You might experience listlessness after waking up. So have something to eat so that you are not famished when returning to work. You can try this nap occasionally. This nap comprises of 60 minutes (1 hour). When you have a presentation in the post-lunch hours and you are sleep deprived, or unwell, go for slow wave nap. It acts as a best medicine to help you remember concrete facts, figures and data during the presentation. This nap is said to enhance cognitive memory processing. It will also keep you fresh for a big day. Although this is not the kind of nap that should be taken at the workplace, but if you are unwell and find it hard to sit on your desk, try full sleep cycle nap. It is a nap wherein you can doze off for 90 minutes. Full cycle nap boosts energy levels and will also enhance your productivity. When you are to work for longer hours in office, keep aside sometime for napping! Surprisingly napping in the office is common and culturally accepted in Japan. It is because sleeping on duty is considered as a subtle sign of diligence. While you might be rebuked for napping in office, try out the power nap when you get right time from work. But don’t make napping a habit in office. Take proper sleep at night to kick start a fresh new day!

Heads up! This article regarding phone add-on accessory contains affiliate links. If you buy through the link, we may get a commission on your purchases that can help our blog site maintenance. You will not incur additional costs when you click the links. Thanks. Hi readers! We're assuming that you would want to level up your photos for your social media or for any other purpose without the need of buying expensive accessories that's why you're reading this. At the end of this article, we hope that this Phone add-on accessory will give you more information regarding the said product. Don't get us wrong, buying the fine and correct equipment can definitely give you better quality photos. If you don't want to pay a huge amount of money or is currently not able to pay for those accessories. This item might be for you. Nowadays, almost everyone owns a smartphone with a decent camera that they use for capturing photos. It is easy and convenient to bring and can be taken out as quickly as possible. Plus it is multi-purpose and built in so you will definitely have it with you wherever you go. Your phone depending on the quality will still limit your ability to capture your subject. It may dismay you as you're not able to take the view or image that you wanted to portray because you used your phone as a capturing device. It might look plain and boring, which would be fine if you're taking pictures on gatherings or parties but if you want to take a photo of something wide or a picturesque view, your phone camera might not be enough. It is the same case for us, we go to places and capture images and views but was sometimes dissatisfied with the outcome as it is not what we have in mind. Luckily, we have come across a certain accessory for our phone that enhances the photo quality and adds a little artistic view to it. These are the Phone Clip-on Lenses. What exactly are clip-on lenses? How can you use it? Why would it be beneficial to you? First, let's define a Clip-on lens. Clip-on lenses are technically smaller lenses that you can attach to your phone by clipping it and then adjusting the focus to align with your smartphone camera. It gives an artistic sense to your photos and provides enhancements to the old boring images. It is portable thus it gives convenience to its user and is very easy to use. Choose the lens that you would want to use to capture a certain image. It can be a wide angle, fish-eye or macro lens. We will talk about the difference of the three later, so continue reading. Clip the lens to your front or back camera. Align the lens with your smartphone camera. We have bought a lens bundle including these three different type of lenses. They are the wide angle, fish-eye, and macro lenses. Wide angle lens enables more of the backgrounds, scenes, subjects into the image. Better application of the wide angle lens is when you're taking pictures of landscapes as it gives a wider view of the subject. Your normal square or rectangular image will have more length in it providing better photos. You will have an easier time of including more on your pictures without the need of using high-end types of equipment like dslr cameras. We used it mostly to capture picturesque views and sceneries that we usually cannot fit with the use of smartphones only. For samples of Wide Angle lenses, you can check our other travel blogs here. We used a wide-angle to capture the beauty of Dubai Creek on this sample. Fish-Eye Lens is a type of wide angle lens as well but it gives off a different view to its users. It provides a visual distortion to create a wide panorama or hemispherical images. It gives an artistic design to your already wide angled image. Same as wide angle, you can definitely fit more subjects if you use the fish-eye lens. It makes the image much more interesting than the normal rectangular wide angle. There are many uses for a fish-eye lens that you can discover and use for a better image composition. You can check our photos on our recent Jordan trip for samples of fish-eye photographs. Macro Lens or the term macro has always been associated with close up photography. It enables a detailed view of a certain subject, usually smaller subjects to become clearer.ra. It gives a vivid view of the things that we usually don't see with the normal eye. This type of lens captures smaller images and make it a big one on your camera like a magnifying glass. We have tried using it a couple of times to test it but wasn't able to use it on our travel photography yet. There's also the telephoto lens but since we haven't used it yet we cannot give you an honest review on the subject. Now, that we have provided you with the different kinds of lens and how you can use it. Next up is what to consider when buying these phone add-on accessory. Consider first your budget - How much are you willing to spend on this phone lenses? Will you be using all of it? Will a bundle or a single piece of the lens be right for you? Putting into consideration how much is your budget will help you a long way in deciding if you want to buy all the different kind of lens or buying just the most useful for you. We have to admit we haven't been using the macro lens most of the time. This should be the first priority if you want to invest in these lenses. The material of the lens and quality - taking into consideration which materials were used for the product can help you decide if the amount your paying for is worth it. You should always go for quality rather than cheap products as quality products will definitely work for a long time. Convenience - You should also consider how easy it will be to use the lens? Is the clip on stable, will it be easy to bring when you go outdoors. Will it fit inside your bag? Having an easy to carry lenses can help you in packing lightly if its small, you can possibly fit it in your pockets as well. These are some things to consider when you're planning to buy your new lens. Make sure to research or inquire which lens is good for use. You can check out our links below for quality lens. I'll update these links once we get a link from Lazada for orders in the Philippines. That's it for our content regarding clip-on lenses. We hope that you can use this very easy trick to level up your travel photos and add some spice to your next trip pictures.

Notice that your Dean's signature on the Academic part of this proposal also commits the Dean to cover any possible budget shortfalls. This underlines the necessity for you to engage the budget process carefully and with some 'contingency funding' allotment to cover the unexpected (fligh problems, currency exchange flucuations, etc.).

Clark Feltman, an apprentice lineman in the Sneads district graduated from Southeast Lineman Training Center (SLTC) in Trenton, Georgia in April. "I learned a lot at SLTC - it was fun to meet new people and learn about the job. Learning in a classroom setting was great - overall, it was an invaluable experience. But, to me, the biggest thing I learned was how and why to do things safely. I feel like they did a good job of teaching us how to be safe before we did the work," said Feltman. In 1934, William Wister Haines, a 24-year-old lineman ceased his employment for a while, holed-up and wrote a book about the adventures of a young lineman breaking into the trade. That book, SLIM, become a national best seller, enjoyed by thousands of readers who knew nothing about linework. It was just a great story and could only have been written by someone who had lived linework. Warner Brothers purchased the rights to the movie, hired Haines to write the screenplay, help with technical direction and arranged for Henry Fonda to play the title character. William Wister Haines experienced the life of a “boomer” from 1926-1930, then did catenary work on the Pennsylvania Railroad for three years. Only a man who started as a grunt, dreamed of putting on the gaffs, climbed poles and towers, worked in ice, hail and snow, and survived linework’s everyday dangers could describe the life of a lineman so well that his thoughts and words would ring true nearly a century later. In 2009, Bill Haines, Jr., son of the author, republished 250 copies of the book and they sold out within four days! Once the book became available, several organizations began using copies of the novel as awards - for topping out (achieving the highest level of expertise a lineman can attain), prizes at rodeos and Southeast Lineman Training Center’s “Slim the Lineman - William Wister Haines” award. “Slim sets an example-he’s the lineman who is totally dedicated to the trade, to the process of continuous learning, being the best possible lineman and above all, to safety. While the book was written about line work in the 20s, these principles remain paramount. The illustrations by Robert Lawson, of work in those early days, are fantastic,” said Haines. The last publication of the book was over 50 years before its second publication and old grainy copies of the movie had become treasures. Generations had been skipped and linemen had no way to know that the movie came from an exciting, powerful novel. “A personal copy of the book is one that a young lineman can treasure forever-a symbol that he succeeded with years of rigorous training and is headed for a meaningful, challenging career,” said Haines. When asked how he felt when he was selected to receive the SLIM Award, Feltman said, "It was probably one of the best feelings I've ever had. It's a great accomplishment for me and I was at a loss for words."

Summary: Change is inevitable--so roll with it! Change! What comes to mind when you hear the word change? Do you think of the "jingle,jangle" in your pocket? Do you think of the many times your mom would change the furniture in the house around, making you stub your toe in the darkness? What about the many times you have to change outfits because you couldn’t figure out what to wear? Change! This is even hard for church members--especially in the pastoral leadership. And in the words of a friend of mine, "You have made everybody glad." "How", I asked. "Some were glad to see you come, others were glad while you were there and now some are glad to see you go." No matter what perception you may have on change, we must all realize that change is a necessary part of life. Some of us welcome changes, while others of us despise change. One show that usually catches my attention is that of "Family Matters" which features the Winslow family and their pesky neighbor, Steve Urkel. Steve is a nerdy, clumsy type fellow. When he knocks something over, or breaks something, he usually asks in that irritating voice, "Did I do that?" But Steve is a smart fellow for he invents things--sometimes they work and most of the time they don’t work. But he built a machine in which he could turn himself into another person. He goes from Steve Urkel to Stephan Urkel. He goes from bumbling idiot-to-smooth, cool and popular with the ladies. Even Laura falls head over heels for Stephan....All because he has a radical change from Steve the nerd to Stephan the cool and smooth. Just as Steve’s change is a radical one, we, too must experience a change. Learning to pray can change our lives. We live in a time when lives need to be changed for the good of man kind and the glory of God. Sinners need to become saints and saints need to become more like the Lord Jesus Christ with each passing day. I believe the most powerful thing anyone can do for someone else is not to loan them a couple of dollars, not someone to run errands, but for someone to also pray for them. Because through prayer you and I can touch the very heart of God who in turn can touch anyone, anywhere regardless of the circumstances. The power is not in the prayer itself, but in the power that God releases in response to the prayer. Is there someone in your life you are praying for everyday? Do you believe God is going to change someone’s life because you are praying for them? From this prayer, Paul says we can pray the kind of prayers which release God’s power into our lives and the lives of those we are praying for. There are reasons for unanswered prayers in our lives and one of them is that we get fired up for a few days. We shake the heavens with our prayers and about a week later, we forget that prayer because we have failed to see the results as we would want to see the. We have the idea that God is not going to act because He does not meet our schedule as we would desire Him. We stop praying! Our prayer lives are just like our Bible-reading lives--inconsistent. Yet Paul says we have not stopped praying for you. I believe that if mothers and fathers would pray specific consistent prayers for their children, they would see dramatic changes in their children. If husbands and wives began to pray for each other, they would see something happen in their marriages. If you prayed for your church and really prayed for God’s anointing, you would see a change in the church. But you should not expect a change, not expect the anointing of God by simply coming in on Sunday morning and politely bowing your head for a dose of "cold prayer". Whatever happened to getting up early by your bedside and praying to God--whatever happened to prayer meetings at church--I believe they have been substituted for "fellowship hour", or "coffee hour". A songwriter once penned these words, "we don’t pray like we used to..." As a young girl, I remember vividly the deacons would pray and I knew something was going on in my little bitty soul that would say "thank you Jesus." In verse 9, we are admonished to ask God to fill us with the knowledge of His will. Paul did not pray that the Colossians would wonder about the will of God. Too many of us are wondering what the will of God is for our own lives. Listen, if God has a will for our lives, and He does....His desire for our lives will be clear. You won’t have to wonder, hem or haw, about the will of the Lord for your life. We pray, Lord, save me, yet we continue doing the same old stuff...looking for the will of the Lord through the Ouija Board or calling 1-900-ARE-YOUSTUPID!...looking for the will of God through the tea leaves...We are looking for a change! Praying can change thing...praying can change people....praying can change situations...praying can change circumstances. Thanks for the Steve Urkel illustration! Change is inevitable--so roll with it!

Business customers sometimes need their Internet service configured into a "Bridged mode" where they are putting other routing equipment behind the Broadband CPE. The below information provides general instructions on how to configure the Arris BGW210-700 Internet Gateway for IP Passthrough mode, an effective equivalent to a bridge mode configuration. IP Passthrough means the Broadband CPE device terminates the VDSL/Fiber connection, authenticates with the network, receives a WAN IP, and shares that IP address with a single customer device connected to the Broadband CPE equipment. IP Passthrough will only allow one connection to be "unfiltered" or pingable from the WAN or internet side of the Broadband CPE equipment. The IP Passthrough feature allows a single device on the LAN to have the gateway's public address assigned to it. It also provides port address translation (PAT) or network address and port translation (NAPT) via the same public IP address for all other hosts on the private LAN subnet. Using IP Passthrough, the public WAN IP is used to provide IP address translation for private LAN computers. The public WAN IP is assigned and reused on a LAN computer. Note: Remember to make a copy of all current settings before proceeding. Open your web-browser from a computer directly connected to the Arris BGW210-700. Enter http://192.168.1.254 in the browser address location field. Click the IP Passthrough tab to configure the following settings. DHCP can automatically serve the WAN IP address to a LAN computer. When DHCP is used for addressing the designated IP Passthrough computer, the acquired or configured WAN address is passed to DHCP, which will dynamically configure a single servable address subnet, and reserve the address for the configured PC's MAC address. This dynamic subnet configuration is based on the local and remote WAN address and subnet mask. The two DHCP modes assign the needed WAN IP information to the client automatically. You can select the MAC address of the computer you want to be the IP Passthrough client with fixed mode or with first-come-first-served dynamic. The first client to renew its address will be assigned the WAN IP. Manual mode is like statically configuring your connected computer. With Manual mode, you configure the TCP/IP Properties of the LAN client deviceyou want to be the IP Passthrough client. You then manually enter the WAN IP address, gateway address, and so on that matches the WAN IP address information of your Broadband CPE device. This mode works the same as the DHCP modes. Unsolicited WAN traffic will get passed to this client. The client is still able to access the BGW210 device and other LAN clients on the 192.168.1.x network. DHCP Lease: By default, the IP Passthrough host's DHCP leases will be shortened to two minutes. This allows for timely updates of the host's IP address, which will be a private IP address before the WAN connection is established. After the WAN connection is established and has an address, the IP Passthrough host can renew its DHCP address binding to acquire the WAN IP address. You may alter this setting. Click Save. Changes take effect upon restart. Note: IP Passthrough Restriction: Since both the BGW210 Internet Gateway and the IP Passthrough host use the same IP address, new sessions that conflict with existing sessions will be rejected by the BGW210. For example, suppose you are working from home using an IPSec tunnel from the router and from the IP Passthrough host. Both tunnels go to the same remote endpoint, such as the VPN access concentrator at your employer's office. In this case, the first one to start the IPSec traffic will be allowed; the second one from the WAN is indistinguishable and will fail. What is IgLou's Internet Access SLA (Service Level Agreement)?

Some Deadpool fans might still be licking their wounds in the wake of tonight’s Oscars (the movie did get snubbed, after all), so here’s a little something to ease the hurt. After all, Disney is the the place where dreams begin. Animator Butch Hartman, the guy behind Fairly Oddparents, has turned his attention to foul-mouthed superhero Wade Wilson, adding him to classic Disney cartoons and movies. You can see Deadpool chilling with Jasmine on a magic carpet, lifting up a bunch of girls Gaston-style, or even replacing Mickey Mouse as the Steamboat Captain. Hartman’s YouTube is full of fun animated treasures like this one, including sketches imagining what Danny Phantom would look like 10 years in the future, and several videos that turn characters from various shows and games (like Overwatch) into Fairly Oddparents. This is his first, though hopefully not last, foray into L’Art du Deadpool. In the YouTube comments, Hartman’s currently taking suggestions for which “universe” Deadpool should invade next. If you have any ideas, definitely head over there and share your thoughts. My money’s on classic ‘90s anime like Sailor Moon, One Piece, or Cowboy Bebop. That’d be amazing.

Classical liberalism arose in an era in which kings ruled and everyone else simply obeyed. Rulers and royalty believed that they had a divine right to make all the decisions within a society, and everyone else was resigned to curry favor in order to extract what little bit of self-governance they could squeeze out of the king. As philosophy and economics developed, it became obvious to the learned that leaving people alone to pursue their best sense of wellbeing just so happened to make any kingdom more prosperous. Eventually, the rulers of Western Europe realized that leaving their subjects to the greatest level of freedom possible also happened to produce the best and most prosperous outcome for the rulers themselves. We all know this story relatively well. We could also tell a story about the same set of events using the lens of "fairness." In a world in which the subjugated are idiots and only the royals know what's best for society, the fairest outcome is that in which the rulers make the best and most reasonable proclamations. As subjects become more educated and less idiotic, fairness demands that they also enjoy some participation in the decisions of a nation. As the education and capability gap - and indeed even the wealth gap - between ruler and ruled becomes even smaller, then fairness demands that all people face more or less the same laws as all other people. Hence the end of monarchy and the rise of egalitarian democracy. Liberalism isn't only more prosperous, it's also fairer. So, some of us have to worry about money a lot, while others of us do not have to worry much about money. Part of this comes down to different life choices; for example, someone who becomes a school teacher will never make as much as someone who becomes a heart surgeon. In a fair world, we're allowed to pursue different life choices as long as we are willing to live with the consequences of those choices. But another part of our wealth differences comes down to heredity. Some of us inherit an awful lot of wealth, and thus begin their lives with more prosperity than working class people will perhaps ever be able to earn, even if they make nothing but good choices for a hundred years straight. This inequality over the luck of being born doesn't seem fair to most of us. When that unfairness is coupled with great financial hardship - such as crushing medical debt or the inability to afford decent housing - it's natural for some people to consider the merits of wealth redistribution. Perhaps taxing the very wealthy for the benefit of the very poor could alleviate more suffering than it causes. If so, society can gain, both in terms of fairness and in terms of prosperity. If it were possible, it would be a win-win: the poor would have much of their suffering alleviated while it would cost the wealthy comparatively little, and yet poor and wealthy alike would stand to gain from the benefits of a more egalitarian society, and perhaps a more prosperous one. In the abstract, that all seems right. In the real world, however, we already live under a well-established regime of progressive taxation and wealth redistribution. This is true in every country I am aware of. Despite that fact, in every country I am aware of, there exists some debate about whether "the rich" should pay even more taxes and whether "the poor" should receive even more redistribution. The best answers to these debates, in my opinion, appear to be empirical. That is, we can analyze with reasonable accuracy the impact of variously imposed tax rates on economic behavior and determine relatively robustly which tax and redistribution rates are better, compared to others. None of those economic analyses, however, can address the question of fairness. For about a hundred years, libertarians and their precursors have been alone in the opinion that the wealthy should have some say as to the fairness of any wealth redistribution proposal. Most moral analyses will tell you that it's only morally fair to give money to a beggar who asks; it is only libertarianism that is willing to consider whether it might be immoral of the beggar to ask in the first place. It is most certainly only right-leaning strands of libertarianism that would suggest that the person being begged-from has a moral right to refuse. This moral right to refuse is something that gives libertarians a bad name. We're often thought to be heartless and cruel because we believe that it's not fair to demand that the wealthy pay literally any tax rate approved through a democratic process. It's not that libertarians think that the poor should suffer, of course, it's just that many of us don't think it's fair to subject the rich to literally any tax rate, no matter how high. Even some libertarians are uncomfortable phrasing it that way. Many would prefer to talk about the deleterious effects of high tax rates on the economy, or the non-existent benefits and ill effects on the labor market of wealth redistribution. They would much rather say that wealth redistribution is harmful rather than simply unfair. The cynical explanation would be that libertarians are greedy knaves who want to keep all their money for themselves. This explanation fails mainly because few libertarians are millionaires, and the vast majority of millionaires are non-libertarians. There is something about libertarians that makes us keen to defend the rights of those whose tax burden is steepest on grounds of fairness.

So that You May Believe seeks to communicate the theological themes of the gospel according to John while broadening the reader's approach to interpreting the gospel. The sermons offer a fresh way of hearing the gospel proclamation and can help to rejuvenate the creativity of those charged with the weekly presentation of the good news of Jesus Christ. Are you looking for a resource to enliven your preaching and teaching of the gospel of John? Creatively Preaching the Fourth Gospel is the book for you. Covering the entire gospel and using a variety of homiletical styles, Eaton plumbs the depths of John in a way that speaks clearly and powerfully to today's church. I know of no finer book on preaching the Fourth Gospel. "In the beginning was the Word . . ." How does the preacher approach the overwhelming word of God? How does the preacher wrestle with the poetry and theological depth of John's gospel? How do preachers find their voice; their way of proclaiming that Word. Brand Eaton invites the preacher on a homiletical journey through the fourth gospel which is oft times ignored by preachers and the Lectionary alike. As his introduction reminds preachers, he often gets his "creative juices flowing" when listening to or reading the sermons of others. Eaton's creative touch will be felt throughout this preaching journey and may it get your preaching juices flowing. Brand Eaton asks us to locate ourselves in the deep stories and dialogues of John's Gospel where words carry layers of meaning and striking images arrest our attention. Like a well-stocked guide, Eaton provides the contemporary analogies, user-friendly translations, and paths to meaning making to assure success in the journey. Brand Eaton is Director of Spiritual Wellness at Bethany Village Retirement Community in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. Prior to his current ministry location, Brand served as pastor to various United Methodist congregations in central Pennsylvania for twenty years. He is a graduate of Lycoming College (B.A.), Wesley Theological Seminary (M.Div., D.Min), and a Board Certified Chaplain. Brand and his wife, Susan Eaton, live in Dillsburg, Pennsylvania.

The 4D Systems BoosterPack Adaptor suffers from the same reversed /RESET signal as the Arduino Adaptor. RESET signal is hard-connected to pin 11. Setting pin 11 to HIGH sends /RESET LOW to the screen and thus resets it. Returning pin 11 to LOW is needed to use the screen. The RX / TX lines of the BoosterPack Adaptor are hard-connected to pins 3 / 4, and thus limits the compatibility with the LaunchPads. This is the case for the TM4C LaunchPad, which uses pins 3 / 4 for standard Serial. On the opposite, the MSP432 LaunchPad is compatible. Default Serial is routed to USB, and Serial1 goes to pins 3 / 4 and is available to drive the screen.

2017 NBA Draft Prospect Profiles: Is Markelle Fultz really worth the No. 1 pick? Markelle Fultz is the best prospect in the 2017 NBA Draft, which is not exactly something that you would’ve seen coming had you known him as a sophomore in high school. That was the year that Fultz failed to make the varsity team at DeMatha (Md.), one of the nation’s best high school basketball programs. From there, he developed not only into a point guard, but into one of the nation’s best high school players, eventually landing in the postseason all-star games and on the Team USA U-18 roster that competed in the FIBA Americas event. Fultz committed to Lorenzo Romar early in the process and maintained that commitment, even as he watched a Washington team that failed to make the NCAA tournament lose Andrew Andrews to graduation and Marquese Chriss and Dejounte Murray to the NBA Draft. As a result, and in spite of the fact that Fultz was putting up insane numbers, the Huskies couldn’t even crack 10 wins with Fultz at the helm, and it eventually cost Lorenzo Romar his job despite the fact that the favorite for the No. 1 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, Michael Porter Jr., had already signed to play for him. How will NBA teams weigh that? Fultz put up ridiculous numbers, but he did it on a team that was the laughing stock of the Pac-12 come February. Is that guy worth the pick? STRENGTHS: Fultz is an unbelievably well-rounded offensive player. I’m not sure what there is that he can’t do on that end of the floor. He shot 41.3 percent from beyond the arc last year and better than 50 percent inside the arc. At 6-foot-4, he’s big enough — and physical enough — to take smaller defenders into the post and score in the paint or simply shoot over the top of them off the dribble, and he does so effectively. His 6-foot-10 wingspan, huge hands and explosion on the move means that he can finish in traffic, whether it be with a dunk over a defender — his extension in the lane is reminiscent of Kawhi Leonard — or a finish around the shot-blocker; Fultz has terrific body control, and when combined with his length, allows him to finish contested layups at weird angles. He’s more than just a scorer, however, as he averaged 5.9 assists last season with a higher assist rate (35.4 vs. 31.4) and lower turnover rate (15.4 vs. 18.9) than Lonzo Ball. That’s startling efficiency considering that he played such a major role on a team with so few options around him. Since 2012, only six guards have bettered his usage rate and offensive rating: Damian Lillard, C.J. McCollum, Nate Wolters, Erick Green, Kay Felder and Jawun Evans. Fultz is excellent leading the break in transition but may be even better operating in ball-screen actions — according to Synergy, more than 30 percent of his possessions came in the pick and roll last season, and he averaged 1.011 points-per-possession, which was in the 93rd percentile nationally. He is patient, he’s ruthless if you switch a bigger defender onto him and he has terrific vision, whether it’s driving and drawing a help defender, finding the screener rolling to the rim or popping for a jumper or spotting an open shooter on the weak side of the floor. Ideally, that’s the role that Fultz would play in the NBA, as a ball-dominant lead guard in the mold of a James Harden or Russell Westbrook or John Wall. But Fultz is also big enough and long enough to share a back court with a smaller guard — Isaiah Thomas? — because he will be able to defend shooting guards. He’s also a good enough shooter that he would be able to play off the ball offensively in that same scenario, meaning that he not only has the ceiling to be a new-age franchise lead guard in the NBA, he has the potential to be a multi-positional defender. In theory, he’s everything NBA teams are looking for. WEAKNESSES: The biggest concern with Fultz is on the defensive end of the floor. While he has the tools to be a plus-defender and has shown the ability to be a playmaker on that end — he averaged 1.6 steals and 1.2 blocks, many of which were of the chasedown variety — but it was his half court defense that was a concern. In a word, he was far too lackadaisical on that end of the floor. Whether it was being late on a rotation, getting beat on a close out because his feet were wrong, getting hung up on a screen, switching when he shouldn’t because he didn’t want to chase a player around a screen, failing to sit down in a defensive stance, etc., it’s not difficult to watch tape and find examples of the mistakes that Fultz made. How much of that was playing on a bad team for a coach that didn’t hold him accountable defensively, and how much of that is who Fultz is as a player? To be frank, my gut says it was more of the former than the latter, but there also is a concern that Fultz’ approach to the game is too casual. He’s the kind of player that needs to grow into a game as opposed to being a guy that takes games over from the jump, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing for a guy who projects as a lead guard and a distributor. The bigger issue with Fultz is that he lacks initial burst off the dribble and there are questions about whether or not he can turn the corner against NBA defenders. His game is awkward when you watch him, but that’s because he has this uncanny ability to get defenders off balance. Hesitation moves, hang-dribble pull-ups, splitting the pick-and-roll, euro-steps in traffic. Some might call it crafty or slippery, but the bottom-line is this: Fultz is able to get by defenders because he has them leaning the wrong direction, and once he gets a step on you, his length — both his strides and his extension — make it impossible to catch up. But he’s not a Russell Westbrook or a John Wall in the sense that he’ll be able to get by any defender simply due to his explosiveness, and that is where the questions about his jumper come into play. If Fultz is going to consistently be able to get to the rim, that jumper is going to have to be a threat, because Fultz’s arsenal won’t be as effective if defenders can play off of him. On the season, his shooting numbers were impressive, but those percentages took a dip against better competition and on possessions where he was guarded (1.020 PPP, 57th percentile) vs. unguarded (1.636 PPP, 94th percentile), although that may be a result of being on a team that had no other option for offense. Put another way, Fultz is a tough-shot maker, and there is reason to wonder if he’ll be able to make those tough shots against NBA defenders. NBA COMPARISON: There really isn’t a perfect comparison for what Fultz could end up being as an NBA player. James Harden is probably the most apt considering that they are roughly the same size with the same physical dimensions, they both are ball-dominant scorers that can see the floor, they both likely needed a smaller guard in the back court with them because, despite their physical tools, they both lack that mean streak defensively. But comparing any rookie to a guy that could end up being the NBA MVP after a season where he averaged 29.1 points, 11.2 assists and 8.1 boards is probably unfair. Perhaps D'Angelo Russell is more fitting, at least in the sense that it limits some of the expectations. Whatever the case may be, if Fultz reaches his ceiling, he’ll be a franchise lead guard that has an entire offensive built around him. If he decides that he wants to play on the defensive end of the floor as well, he could one day be a top five player in the league. OUTLOOK: Fultz has the potential to be the face of a franchise at the lead guard spot. His skill-set — the scoring, the ability to operate in pick-and-rolls, the efficiency — and ability makes it easy to picture him one day ending up playing a role similar to that of Harden or Westbrook or Wall. At the same time, I find it hard to envision a world where Fultz doesn’t one day end up averaging 20 points and six assists. It’s hard not to love a prospect where their floor is a bigger, more athletic D’angelo Russell. When a player has the least risk and the highest ceiling of anyone in a draft class, it’s no wonder they end up being the consensus pick to go No. 1.

There are no real sprites in SDL. As it’s a cross-platform library and sprites are heavily hardware-dependent, there’s no easy way to work them in. You could try to take advantage of a platform’s hardware by intercepting attempts at creating SDL surfaces and seeing if its properties fit within a hardware sprite, but it’d be tricky to make something like that work with existing code. Everything is done with bobs instead. Anyway, that’s academic, as - from what I’ve seen so far - the GP2x doesn’t have sprites either. Getting sprites working in SDL is pretty easy. Load a bitmap, convert it to a surface that matches the current display, then blit it out. It even supports a transparent value, so empty regions of a bitmap won’t be rendered to the display. I’ve built a Sprite class that does all of that business that inherits from a simplistic SpriteBase class. As some of the sprites are animated (SAM and UFO at the moment), I’ve stolen the Animation class from Woopsi and re-jigged it to work with SDL’s types and surfaces instead of u16 bitmaps. I’ll integrate it into an AnimSprite class, which will inherit from the SpriteBase class. I spent some time getting SVN working on my Linux box before starting coding today. I’ve got the SVN VMWare appliance created by Young Technologies installed. Getting it working was more fiddly than I’d hoped - authorisation seems to be broken (or there’s something cryptic in the config files I’ve missed) and the WebSVN install doesn’t seem to work properly (or, again, there’s a config problem somewhere). In any case, I don’t need authorisation and don’t care about the web interface. It gives me a source control solution, which is all I want. It’s separate from the underlying hardware and OS install as it’s a VM, so I can easily move it to another machine and back it up as needed. The code for ChromaX now lives in SVN.
