Wheelchair powered without hands debuts at CES
Intel and Hoobox Robotics have teamed up to create the Wheelie 7 that responds to facial expressions. Dan Fastenberg reports.
Limitations on arm and hand mobility may no longer be as limiting as they once were.
Thanks to the combined efforts of Intel and Hoobox Robotics, a wheelchair debuted at this year's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas that is controlled solely via facial expressions.
In fact, the Wheelie 7 kit can be attached to any motorized wheelchair and responds to a range of facial expressions from a smile to pursed 'kissy' lips.
An Intel 'RealSense' camera is at the heart of the technology. The camera sits in front of the user's face and processes incoming data via AI algorithms in real time to control the chair.
"The wheelchair was a little awkward at first. Using facial expressions instead of other manual forms of movement was a little confusing, but once you use it for a decent amount of time and get comfortable with the controls, it becomes a lot more natural and easy to use."
The Consumer Electronics Show is widely known for its gadgets. But this year a variety of products are being displayed that make life better the way the Wheelie 7 does. Esight, for one, showed off a headset that magnifies images for the visually impaired.
Hoobox CEO Paulo Pinheiro, for his part, says he came up with the idea of the Wheelie 7 when he saw a young girl on a wheelchair in an airport who, he said, had a "great smile" on her face

I can help with
- Working while studying
- The study environment at CBS
- Time management and workload
- Academic content of the programme
- Teaching style and exams
My choice
Before finally deciding on IB, I was considering the IBP-programme and Law at KU. If I were to reconsider my choice today, I would also have kept the B.Sc. in Business Administration and Digital Management in mind. However, I finally ended up landing at the IB-programme, due to two fundamental elements: Primarily, I knew I wanted to combine my interest within economics with a more overall, broad understanding of business, and with IB offering courses such as marketing, strategy and communications I knew that it would be a match academically. Furthermore, having a chance to study and work alongside some of the brightest students in the country, was also a great motivational factor for selecting IB. At IB you get the best of both worlds along with many additional aspects of the international business environment. Today, I am still confident that choosing IB was the right choice for me.
My programme
Having been living abroad for 2 years, my biggest challenge was the transition from being a full-time employee to become a full-time student. Coming from an everyday life, where many of my hours of the day was devoted to different activities to all of a sudden managing all of my time of my own, demanded a revision of the study techniques I used in my upper secondary. However, by talking to fellow students, learning from them, I overcame that challenge. Learning from those individuals sitting right next to you at the lectures is a major key in cracking the IB-code. One of the greatest characteristics of the study environment is the competition. Though many have negative preconception about this very specific point, particularly at the IB programme, it has contributed pushing my own ambitions, and even better, skills and knowledge, further. The social as well as the academic environment in our course, has been a major motivational feature for me. Being surrounded by bright and ambitious student, and being able to learn from them, is a gift for your own personal development.
My advice
Structure, prioritize and find your right balance. Being a good student, is not necessarily equal to spending 14 hours a day buried in your books. Do not underestimate the power of time-management. Try different ways of working, and go with what works best for you.
Participate in the social activities arranged throughout the year, such as the Gala, burnouts and Dinners. Expand your network by being socially active and use your fellow students to overcome struggles of your own. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
There will most likely be courses you are not very fond of. Don't worry. At IB there is always light at the end of the tunnel. By only having courses for 7-9 weeks at a time, the next courses are always just around the corner.

Article published in THE SUNDAY PIONEER, May 17, 1998 as reported by Shali Ittaman.
Ex-inmates of the Al Wathba Central prison have some startling stories to relate. They say that the Jail in Abu-Dhabi has 10 clandestine blocks where nearly 2,000 people from the Third World countries are being held like medieval slaves, mostly for crimes they had never committed. Many of them are Indians. Some of them are women and some teenage boys. Almost all of them have been detenues for years.
George Titus Valliazam, a banker from Kerala, has been a prisoner in Al Wathba since 1986. For 12 years he has shared with nine other prisoners of a 10 by 10-nondescript cell. The block where his cell is located has 200 prisoners who are forced to live in inhuman conditions with rudimentary toilets and faulty plumbing.
Valliazam eats two coarse meals a day, wears a gunny jail jersey (rarely gets a change), does the laundry, sweeps the floor, cleans clogged toilets - and yet gets routinely flogged. Every night, he retires to his unventilated cell to sleep on the scorching floor. His wife and daughters, whom he left behind in Kerala. for the United Arab Emirates (UAE), still wait for him. They know he is languishing in Al Wathba but it is the truth they haven't told their neighbours.
Titus was arrested and sentenced to three years Imprisonment for allegedly defrauding the UAE Exchange, a high-profit company in Abu Dhabi in which he was a partner. But once you go behind the walls of Wathba you never know when you will come out, court orders notwithstanding.
Take the instance of Feorencio V Paruli. who hails from the Philippines. The UAE's Shariah Court declared him innocent in April 1995, but he hasn't known freedom three years after incarceration. In a letter to his friend, Paruli wrote "There is no evidence at all, not a single one...I'm still waiting for the golden paper from the diwan (for the release). My life is wasting and my family is in great distress."
Nurulla Jan from Pakistan was falsely implicated in a drug offence and banished to Al Watbba in 1992. He continues to languish there despite being absolved and ordered to be set free by two courts in Abu Dhabi a month after his arrest.
Such examples abound in AI Wathba. These are prisoners whom the Abu Dhabi police try to keep out of sight of the outside world. Visiting dignitaries and human rights inspectors are led through prison corridors where there is discipline and respect for law. But not many get to know what happens behind the walls, or after they leave the premises.
Such is the secrecy that even letters from the prisoners are censured by jail officials. (Except the letters which are occasionally smuggled out.) Relatives and friends who come calling are also put through processes, which are intimidating and discouraging. Burly cops take turns to log close details. including work, address and names of sponsors of all visitors passing through the gates. In the visitors' gallery too, they have to jostle with a sea of humanity. duck a posse of guards and try to get the interns to describe what transpires in the prison cells before time out is called.
Only the hardiest and the most determined of the visitors put to peril liberty, job and family to beat the system and return repeatedly to learn more about the goings-on in Al Wathba and tell the world about them.
However, there are a few foreigners in high places in the UAE, including heads of missions, who have a stockpile of information on the barred cells. Over the years they have been flooded with petitions and letters from well wishers and relatives of the interns and even some released detenues, to intervene and end the plight of the prisoners. But owing to protocol limitations and economic compulsions, most of them have chosen silence. This is especially true of ambassadors from the Third World.
Recently, when this reporter met Mrs. George Titus in Ernakulam. she recounted that she had written several letters to the Indian Ambassador in Abu Dhabi and even met him once to seek help to secure her husband's release. But he cut his excuses and parted ways.
There are others who corroborate her account. Mohan Venghad, a one-time intern at Al Wathba, said that during his years in jail many of his well-wishers had seen the ambassador to request for his intervention Venghad had himself secretly couriered a letter to the ambassador from the jail, detailing his and his fellow prisoners' condition. But nothing came of it, he spent another nine years in illegal detention.
He also says the embassy is merely an agency to issue work permits and check travel documents and the ambassador has only time "to suck up to the UAE officials, enjoy convivial feasts with them and lavish in their bequests."
Venghad has many horrifying accounts about prisoners who had shared berths with him at one time or the other. He mentions Aziz from Tamil Nadu, who, before his arrest and execution, worked as a driver of a rich and influential UAE citizen. He was falsely implicated in a murder case by his employer" and imprisoned for 12 years.
He was later ordered to be put before a firing squad. The Indian embassy was kept in the dark about the sentence until hours before the execution, leaving virtually no time for an appeal. After the execution, his body was disposed off secretly, never to be traced again. At that time, many in the jail, including Venghad, suspected that like the many ominous skeletons (of Filipino nurses) found in the desert' Aziz's bones too would be discovered one day.
The Indian embassy washed off its hand by saying that it was given no time to react but the moor question remains: Do Indian officials allow a few Indians to be sacrificed because of economic considerations?
This question is indeed equally applicable to the other Third World countries such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the Philippines.
However. Talmiz Ahmad, joint secretary in the Ministry of External Affairs, says, when compared to the sheer numbers of Indians working in the UAE (about 1.2 million), such cases of miscarriages of justice are very few and far between. He says UAE is a very organized country and is perhaps more just and humane than most other countries in West Asia, where there is such a vast inflow of immigrants.
Whereas Ahmad does not discuss individual cases, he says that he has spoken to Indian ambassador to UAE Muralidhara Menon and the latter has denied having any knowledge of such secrets jails. He also says that Indian citizens in the UAE are well-cared for by the embassy and, without hampering foreign relations, it is doing everything in its power to safeguard its people's interests.
An Indian journalist (name withheld on request) who had spent many years in the UAE also says he knows nothing of the existence of such jails. He says his impressions of UAE society is vastly different, He is full of admiration for the system of law and justice existent there. He says "an average individual is far more safe in the UAE than he ever would be in India." (The Pioneer tried to get the UAE Interior Ministry's to react to the story. But it failed to respond to the fax.)
He says the Indian mission is working under severe limitations. He says many people who come to seek the help of the mission there have no proper travel papers. Because it is difficult to distinguish the nationality of people of the subcontinent, since they all look alike and speak the same tongue, lot of time is lost just in the exercise of identification.
Nevertheless, a perusal of the exemplary work done by the embassies of developed countries deepens one's anguish and remorse at the plight of the "nationals of the have-not countries".
Sample this. A British national committed the un- pardonable offence of assaulting a cop who caught him driving drunk.
The British embassy interceded on his behalf and the policemen who brought him to Al Wathba were severely reprimanded by their officers. He was kept in jail for exactly three hours.
Compare this with the case of a l5-year-old Pakistani boy, who has been behind bars for more than an year for stealing an apple.
For PK Jabir, Abu Dhabi had come to be his second home. In 18 years, he had set up the Ramla Electro-Mechanical Est. and the Premier General Contacting Est., two companies doing good business. Jabir had the reputation of being a rich man with a kindly heart.
Everything seemed to be going well with him until he met Hameed Saeed, a local Arab, and signed an agreement to lease a building. He had the least inkling then that he was signing his own destruction warrant.
That was on October 1, 1995. A year later, almost to the day, Jabir was forced on a plane to India with nothing but the grim reminder of an interim spent in Al Wathba. The man whose assets equalled Rs 5 crore returned home in penury.
Jabir's trouble began when he signed a contract for leasing 24 flats that Hameed owned. The contract was worth Dirhams 504,000 (Rs 50.4 lakh). According to the terms of the contract, the flats were to be handed over once an advance was paid to Hameed through cheque. The remaining amount was to be made with- in six months. After receiving the cheque, Hameed welshed the deal by refusing to let out the flats. Jabir then filed a civil suit and obtained an injunction on October 24, 1995, stopping Hameed from realizing the cheque.
Later, Hameed called in policemen to coerce Jabir to withdraw the suit, hand over the contract papers and give full payment for the flats. When an adamant Jabir refused, he was kicked and punched in the face and groin and his fingers were smashed with iron rods. His brother too was beaten. The arrogant policemen. however, committed the mistake of beating them in full view of the public. This proved to be their undoing. The brothers were then taken to the Asma police station where they were asked to sign documents", withdrawing the charge against Hameed. When they refused they were abused and assaulted again. Jabir fell unconscious; the brothers were eventually taken to hospital for X-rays.
Later, they were brought back to the jail, where they were held for 21 days. Then they were shifted to the A1 Wathba Central Prison, where they were kept in Block Number 10 - one of the secret jails for a week. Jabir was then released, though his brother was detained. Later, when he went to enquire about his brother, he was rearrested and packed off to the same cell to "join his brother."
In the meantime, a bail petition moved through a friend came up for hearing in the court on February 11, 1996. Several witnesses came forward to testify in Jabir's favour; a stockpile of evidence left the court no option but to reject the prosecution's counter-charge that Jabir had assaulted the cops during an inquiry. The court also granted them bail. Yet the brothers were not released. Later. after the final hearing of the case, the court on May 19, 1996, gave a verdict absolving Jabir of all charges and ordering the police to free his brother and him immediately. Yet their confinement continued.
Their days in prison were miserable. All their personal belongings were confiscated. They were tonsured, given tattered jail suits to wear and confined to a cell with no beds, no ventilation and mostly no power. Food was of bad quality and inadequate. They were refused permission to receive or see visitors or write to relatives and friends. They were also made to work without rest and whipped and tortured for non-compliance.
On September 28, 1996, almost a year after their ordeal began, the Head of Security in the UAE Interior Ministry issued an order of deportation and they were taken out of prison and forced on a plane to India.
Though the order was in some ways a relief, it came too late and compensated Jabir too little. First, the grim memories of the days he spent as a prisoner were never again to be erased. Second, far from respecting the court verdict and admonishing the police for excesses, the Ministry ordered him to be deported after freezing all his assets created over 18 years.
Though there was ample proof of his innocence and of the atrocities committed on him. the Indian embassy did not help. The diplomats there sympathised with him and did nothing.
Back in India, he wrote to the secretaries of the External Affairs Ministry and the Home Ministry and to the National Human Rights Commission and later, filed a writ in the Supreme Court to coax these agencies to intercede on his behalf, punish his persecutors in Abu Dhabi and free his assets there.
On October 26, 1995. The Supreme Court took cognizance of the case but suggested that under the circumstances the High Court was a more appropriate forum to deal with the case.
Jabir then filed a petition in the High Court seeking an order for a Government of India intervention. The court gave the Government two months to take necessary steps. Unfortunately, the deadline is over, but the Government has still not moved.
The Al Wathba Central Prison is a big facility spread over many acres. There are plush offices, reception area, staff quarters and well-kept jails for all to see.
However there is a compound which houses the torture chamber, the detention center and the execution arena. The compound is enclosed by huge steel girders and high walls and no outsider ever strays here.
In this compound there are 10 special blocks meant to detain the Third World country people and hard-core criminals. The prisoners here have no rights and are entirely at the mercy of policemen who guard them.
There are about 21 small cells resembling 'concrete cages' in each block where about 200 prisoners are held.
Prisoners are brought to these cells are tonsured, given two course jail suits, two blankets, a plastic cup and a plate each. All personal belongings, including clothes, are confiscated at the entrance and no other stationery is provided.
Hard-core criminals - even those against whom there are Black Warrants are given a better deal. They get toothbrushes, paper and pen. "Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani dogs." As the other detenues are called by the policemen, are never granted such luxuries. And only they are called for cleaning duties.
In the morning prisoners get a glass of tea, a slice of bread with a trickle of jam or a film of cheese. At lunch they are provided rice with a piece of camel meat. Dinner at 8'O clock is a slice of bread, dal (lentil) and a glass of black tea.
Prisoners in each block have six latrines and three bathrooms to use. Because the taps often run dry and the toilets are clogged most of the time, 200 prisoners more or less end up using one or two latrines.
Prisoners are regularly flogged on one pretext or the other and those resorting to hunger strikes are administered 10 "major flogs".
Medical facility too are extended to Arabs only. Other detenues who fall sick are left untreated. Power supply to the cells is controlled by guards on sentry duty. For weeks on end they turn off the power, leaving the prisoners to suffer in darkness.

I really don't want to review this. I really don't want to review this. Thrice let it be said and done, I REALLY do not want to review this.
*pinch bridge of nose between fingers*
Did I mention I didn't want to review this?!
Previously, on The Frozen: Unlikeable Bastard and Irritating Hag have gotten stranded in the woods due to the fact that they're complete and utter morons, and have decided to try and fix the problem through the mediating power of bickering! Sounds like fun, right?! But fortunately, Random Jackass has evidently gunned down the Bastard off-screen!
Oh, wait, am I supposed to feel upset about that?
Oh noooooes.
Irritating Hag runs out to go check on the Bastard, but instead of getting shot too (dammit), she decides to just hide back in the tent again. Jesus, what a great girlfriend. "What's that, honey, you got shot? Sorry, I'm too busy sitting in here and counting the ways I loath you. GOD, I hate you."
When day finally comes, and she apparently decides to go pick his pockets or piss on the corpse or something, she notices some footprints and follows them to a huge mess of blood on the ground, right by the snowmobile. Either that, or somebody took the Kool-Aid Man in to the woods and broke his kneecaps.
Hag heads back to the tent to curl in to a ball for a bit, before finally heading all the way back to the snowmobile. Um. Why did you even bother heading back then? Decided, eh, stood up for ten seconds, time for a nap? Or is the director just shamelessly trying to extend the run time like a man desperately staving off an orgasm?
The snowmobile is still busted, despite her clicking the button over and over again, so she gathers some wood and heads back to the camp to light a fire. You know, I think I've finally nailed one of the problems with this movie: The cinematography is DREADFUL!
[Editor's Note: Wait, did you seriously just point out the cinematography? What, did you finally decide that you're a REAL reviewer now?]
Oh, shush up. For a movie like this, about being watched by an unknown assailant in the middle of the woods, the shots should be wide, far away, and static, to give the impression of being watched, yet alone. But this? Everything is shot up way too close, and the camera moves and wiggles like it's a found footage movie that just got confused at some point, and it feels less "spooky" and more like she's just a handshake with the camera man and a five minute drive from civilisation.
Late in to the night, the Hag finds a proposal ring in the Bastard's stuff, which makes her suddenly realize, "Oh fuck, I am a TERRIBLE girlfriend. Maybe I should have actually checked whether or not you were dead? Eh, screw it". And of course, after she goes to bed, she hears more ambient scary noises (trademark pending) outside! Annnnnnd she just tells them to go away.
OUR PROTAGONIST, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! What, do you expect the Random Asshole to just go, "Huh, didn't realize how annoying she was, guess I'll just let her go"?! Jesus tapdancing cocks, you need to die!
… Er, I mean, respect the sanctity of all life and all that crap.
Surprisingly enough, the Random Asshole actually DOES go away, and she tuckers right off to sleep. And in a merciful world, this would end with the Hag getting riddled with bullets in her sleep, but no, I've apparently sinned against God and this movie will just keep going on.
The next morning, she pulls out the map and starts hiking, trying to find the way out. Um, wait. Okay, so excuse me if my logic is faulty, but they got here through a snowmobile, right? Well, those things are pretty bulky, so they couldn't have gone through the forest. So, if there are wide open tree less areas through this valley (which we see there are), they would have HAD to go through those! And if there are still some markers left over (which there are), that would point them in the right direction! So all she has to do is follow the markers until they run out, and then just follow the only area that a snowmobile could go, and it'll take you right to the truck!

B. v Chief Constable of PSNI
This is a current Judicial Review case involving police powers of arrest in respect of breaches of Civil Injunction Orders made pursuant to Order 14, rule 6 of the County Court Rules and Articles 3 and 5 of the Protection from Harassment (Northern Ireland) Order 1997.
Injunctions obtained pursuant to Articles 3 and 5 of the Protection from Harassment (Northern Ireland) Order 1997 are relatively common within the jurisdiction of Northern Ireland. It is, therefore, perhaps surprising that there is no Northern Irish authority on the points raised by the Applicant. On that basis, this is undoubtedly a novel case. There is a significant public interest point in respect of this case, as it hoped that judicial guidance is given to aid current and future holders of such injunctions, as well as police officers generally.

Treating pain in the back has actually been a major problem amongst Americans along with individuals of all ages as well as ethnic culture Physical Therapy Tucson. For many years the American academy of Orthopedic manual physical treatment (AAOMPT) has been stating: "prior to attempting pricey alternatives, obtain clients into physical treatment first. When you research the statistics along with clinical literary works placing this out front is what a great deal recommend.
The universities of Physicians as well as the American Pain Society additionally suggest that medical professionals recommend physical therapy when managing clients with reduced neck and back pain. There are many options for assessment in addition to therapy of reduced neck and back pain. The American college of physicians department of medical programs along with top quality of care has actually stated they wanted to examine all the proof and develop guidance for medical professionals along with give their individuals a practical sense of just what they will certainly anticipate when they visit a medical professional for lower neck and back pain.
There are a lot of key subjects to remember when people think of treatment options for pain in the back as well as other musculoskeletal (muscle mass and bones) problems. You have to remember that all alternatives can be useful, and are the very best path to go the majority of the time, but not always. Physical therapy could use choices to these options or match them to accomplish the most effective outcomes.
Numerous people have come to anticipate x-rays, MRIs, as well as CT scans, etc. as standard procedure in detecting and also directing the therapy of back pain. Nonetheless, they may be challenging to schedule along with really pricey. You could not need an MRI right away, however one point that needs to be extremely clear, you do have to exercise and manage your discomfort under the supervision of a skilled physiotherapist.
I myself have had some significant neck and back pain and also knee that appear to be becoming worse till I started physical therapy. I played football in college and I'm now feeling the deterioration of the sport. People may be tempted to take specific supplements to ease the joint discomfort connected with bone and joint disorder including but not limited to neck and back pain. Many individuals including myself have efficiently made use of chondriotin to treat knee in addition to hip troubles that are associated with osteoarthritis. In spite of widespread use, study shows this supplement does not show up to help a bulk of people with knee in addition to hip discomfort caused by osteoarthritis.
These are alternatives to consider if you are likewise having these very same issues. Lots of Americans have these problems along with athletes and also seniors. Obtaining assistance as well as treatment early is the very best prognosis for dealing with pain in the back. This is an excellent primary step to getting the treatment required. I wish this assists and I rejoice that somebody can as well as will certainly have the ability to take advantage of this info. Thanks for reading.

In partnership with Netflix, we created a campaign to recruit a new member to 6 Underground, the most explosive movie of Michael Bay's career. A film teaser and even a toll-free number were created for the task. And the pick was Rubens Barrichello, who had to erase his past to save the world - just as the characters of the movie. In an explosive social film, the Brazilian driver cleared his tracks by blowing up the F1 2nd position trophy of a race where he had to give up the victory, erasing a memory that he and all Brazilians would love to forget.

Often high chairs are not available when you need them whilst on the go. Look no further. The Roamwild Airtushi is an inflatable high chair without compromise. Its unique design is totally safe, 100% padded for ultimate comfort and so easy to wipe clean after use. It also packs down extremely small so that it is completely portable wherever you and your child go.
James Thorn, Head of Design at Roamwild and previously a senior product engineer at Dyson came up with the idea. "I was at a friend's house and went to put my youngest in a portable high chair that attached to a chair. Shortly after, my son was moving around, and toppled sideways and as there was no support he fell out – luckily I caught him but I wasn't happy using this product again so I designed Airtushi – The Inflatable Portable High Chair."
In summary The Airtushi is:
- The strongest portable high chair with rigid sides - This prevents sideways toppling.
- Easy to clean and dry and 100% safe and secure.
- The only collapsible travel high chair with padded seat, padded sides, padded backrest and a front bumper bar that aids sitting up development.
- Packs down very small and can easily be stored in a handbag or under a stroller.
- Compatible with Airplane seats – side slots allow the plane seat belt to pass through the product. Only to be used when seatbelt sign is switched off.
- Compatible with folding camping chairs - Transforms a camping chair into a portable high chair.
- Includes a 3 point safety harness

People like u who do not know how to appreciate good food and a good environment should stay in a jungle and not come out of it. You will only be suitable in places like Cheras and some Ah Beng places. Mushroom soup not edible - I think you drink too much chinese herb soup to begin with. I have been to Cavell's many times and I love the place and the food and the hospitality they offer. You muz be damn stupid to comment on things like this. Grow up man!

Your blog is distasteful and just plain mean. Someone like you should be banned from every outdoor eatery there is on the face of the earth because you don't appreciate good food. Actually you don't appreciate food at all. Period. I had a good meal and great service when I was there recently.
You should learn some etiquette and manners cause I bet you weren't taught any by the way you make such rude remarks! Terrible young lad you are! Shame on you!

Listen to Rockie Fresh, "The Landing"
Rockie Fresh fans can thank the Chicago Bulls for new music as the Chi-Town rapper updated his SoundCloud page following a Bulls win last night.
The result of the update is "The Landing," a track from the MMG MC's upcoming The Night I Went To... project that is set to drop sometime in 2016. Over a piano-driven instrumental, Rockie raps about his dreams of making it big and seeing the world while reminding himself that there is a possibility that it won't happen. The rapper finds strength in the people who have helped and supported him since he embarked on his journey towards stardom and is sure to thank them all to close out the song. Ironically, he didn't give any thinks to Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler or anyone else on the Chicago Bulls. Check it above.

As one of Spain's prominent tourist destinations, Murcia enjoys a steady flow of visitors throughout the year – some who prefer to rent villas rather than book traditional hotels. But it isn't just travelers who are looking for rental properties in Spain; the natives are also giving homeowners another reason to consider life as a landlord.
Let's take a look at these two different – yet very important – audiences for those who own luxury villas in Spain.
Tourists Booking Rental Properties in Murcia, Spain
Murcia's year-round warm climate, abundant sunshine, and outdoor lifestyle make it a popular choice for holidays and travel in general. Visitors who are looking for a home-like setting when it comes to accommodations typically look at renting houses or villas instead of hotels. Many of the luxury villas in Murcia are situated on, or very near, golf courses and other attractions. Some even offer hotel-style services, such as cleaning, concierge, spas and restaurants. If you own a villa, then this balance of comfort and service can position it as a great rental option for tourists.
Spaniards May Consider Renting Luxury Villas in Spain
According to a recent report, more than 22 percent of Spaniards are living in rental properties in Spain. This is up from 17 percent just five years ago, representing a shift in mentality when it comes to purchasing real estate. Luxury villa owners in Spain may want to consider renting their homes as a way to generate additional income. In Murcia, some homeowners only live in their villas for part of the year, so renting the property may be a viable option.
Turning luxury villas into rental properties may be advantageous for buyers who want to make the most of their investments. With the increasing number of renters in Spain, and the continued tourism in Murcia, the competition for rental properties is up – and so are the prices. Just be sure you know the current laws on renting your home or villa.
If you don't own a luxury villa in Murcia, but want to consider it for rental purposes, then please get in touch with our team to discuss your options. We are happy to offer our advice and guidance.

Sinn Féin to hold public meeting in Brighton during British Labour conference - Brady
Sinn Féin MP Mickey Brady will host a public discussion during the British Labour Party Conference in Brighton this weekend looking at Brexit, the Good Friday Agreement and Irish unity.
Speaking ahead of the event, the Newry and Armagh MP said:
"As part of our wider engagements on Brexit and Irish unity across Ireland, Britain and elsewhere, Sinn Féin will again be attending the annual conference of the British Labour Party to host a public debate and take part in a number of panel discussions.
"On Sunday I will be chairing a public debate on Brexit, the Good Friday Agreement and Irish Unity.
"The panellists will include our Leas Uachtarán Michelle O'Neill, the British Labour Party's Shadow Secretary of State for the north of Ireland, Tony Lloyd, and journalist and commentator Dawn Foster.
"We will discuss how Brexit threatens to undermine the Good Friday Agreement which provides a solution to the catastrophe of Brexit through its provision for a referendum on Irish unity paving a democratic pathway back into the EU.
"We will also be calling on the EU and Irish government to stand firm on the protections contained in the Irish backstop.
"These are the bare minimum protections required to protect the Good Friday Agreement and avoid any hardening of the border and must be maintained.
"As well as our public debate, I will also be taking part in a number of panel discussions on our international solidarity work and the role of the left across Europe and further afield."

It's Shakespeare time! Metairie Park Country Day School presents William Shakespeare's JULIUS CAESAR. This modern spin on Shakespeare's classic is inspired by recent productions at London's National Theatre and the Bell Shakespeare Company of Sydney, Australia. Our production employs nontraditional casting, gender-flipped characters, combined characters, and diverse representation to lift Shakespeare's story from its original historical context and explore the political dynamics through a contemporary lens. The cast includes EmmaJane Bauer, Dominic Dazet, Aliya Eissa, Bryce Elmore, Anna Hayne, Julianna Holley, Kristin Kempton, Jackson Lintner, Jack Li, Lilli Marshall, Julia Mueller, Jacob Mushatt, Abby Myers, Grayson Myers, Collin Neece, and Alexandra O'Sullivan, with technical support from Miles Bellaire, Emma Bellaire, Colin Fiore, and Destiny Laugand. The poster for this year's production features a design by senior Hannah Halpern. Hannah drew her inspiration from the stylized imagery of political propaganda posters, as well as graffiti art to derive the poster concept. The lines "DO THIS" and "Think of the world" are pulled directly from Shakespeare's play and represent, respectively, the party message of the ruling administration and the rallying cry of the rebellion. At the center, there's Caesar himself in a colorful, contemporary rendering of a traditional classical bust, a perfect metaphor for our production. A jpg of Hannah's bold, clever design is attached. The text style for the poster information deliberately evokes the branding of the National Theatre, which often presents Shakespeare in contemporary contexts. Performances run November 15-18, 2019. All seats are $10. All performances are in Weinmann Auditorium. Friday, November 15 @ 7:00 p.m. Saturday, November 16 @ 7:00 p.m. Sunday, November 17 @ 3:00 p.m. Monday, November 18 @ 7:00 p.m.

It's a pretty common story to hear that one person in a household is the saver, and one is the spender.
Or, one person is trying really hard to get control of their family's money, and the other person is out there just blindly buying crap because…"you can't take it with ya".
Talking about money with your partner or spouse can be wildly awkward. It can lead to fights, hurt feelings, and for that reason… it's avoided like a root canal.
Trying to avoid potential conflict prevents many couples from achieving their financial potential.
Breaking through that discomfort is important, actually… it's more than that… it's necessary.
If you're married, or in a partnership, achieving your financial potential will take teamwork.
Think about a crew team… you know those dudes in the row boats. You both need to be rowing in the same direction to win.
If one person is working toward financial success and the other is spending money like a banshee, you're going to fail. You're going to fight, and you're going to feel like a big ol' turd.
Who wants to feel like that? No one, right?
So, talking about money and getting your financial crew team into the winners circle should be priority numero uno!
Hey Honey, Let's Talk Money
The financial goals of your family are important to you, right? Fucking right they are! So, you're going to have to move past the discomfort and attack the topic.
It doesn't have to lead to a fight, or hurt feelings. It can be a fun conversation about dreams and goals!
How you start the financial talk is going to dictate whether or not your ass is sleeping on the couch or not.
It's easy for this conversation to go south. To avoid a potential fight, or hurt feelings… you gotta plan your attack.
Walking into a potential confrontation unprepared is a terrible idea.
What exactly do you want to discuss? Why do you want to discuss it? What benefit will this conversation bring to you, your partner, and your family?
Don't walk into this blind. Don't expect the conversation to just flow organically. You might only get one shot to paint a happy picture around money.
Write down your talking points, goals, and some facts about where you are today. When I say facts, I mean facts. Export your bank statements to excel, calculate your debt to the penny, and track the previous months spending.
Not only will this help you stay on track if the conversation gets hard, but it will show your spouse just how important this topic is to you.
Time is Money… Sorta
Once you have your talking points, find the perfect time to chat. Let your partner know that you want to talk about your family's financial goals.
Not YOUR goals, YOUR FAMILY'S goals.
This isn't about you, and that's a point you'll drive home.
Just like setting up a meeting at work, plan the appropriate time to talk. If you were going to talk to your boss about a potentially awkward topic, how would you do that?
Well, I know I'd pick the day she is the least stressed. I'm not going to go to her on a Monday afternoon, when her hair is all freaking crazy, she's giving everyone the wonky eye and expect to have a positive, emotion free convo.
Plan to have this conversation during, or shortly after the most relaxing time you can imagine.
Maybe it's after a nice little Saturday together. Or, after a date night. Whenever you feel your spouse is in a good mood, and open to a money conversation.
Passionate Money
Let your partner know how important this topic is to you, and how important it is in your relationship. Finances are the leading cause of stress and turmoil in relationships.
Knowing this potential problem exists, it's important to stay ahead of it, right? I think so, and I bet your partner would agree too.
This conversation and these goals are about improving your relationship, not about controlling your significant other.
If you're looking to get out of debt, show your partner just how much debt you have. It might sting, but it provides a level set. This is where we are now, but it's not where we need to stay.
Don't point fingers or assign blame. Maybe it's your partner's fault you're in debt, maybe it's yours. So what?
Mistakes happen, people make mistakes. Forgive them, and forgive yourself.
Hell, I bought a tractor that cost over $20,000 once. My wife was there, but I was the one who wanted it. She just wanted me to be happy.
Talk about how much your debt costs per month, and what would life look like if that debt didn't exist.
What could you do if you didn't have those payments? Dream together! Life shouldn't be about mindlessly going to work just to pay for shit.
Bring passion to the conversation, show your partner how important this is and get them fired up about it too!
Show them it's possible. There are a million success stories out there. When I started to have money conversations with my wife, I would usually have a podcast ready to play.
I know she loves me and appreciates what I'm passionate about, but it's nice to hear it from someone else… and it's motivating to hear someone else talk about how they achieved exactly what we want to achieve together.
Words Matter
Avoiding conflict is the goal, and you can steer clear of some potential negative outcomes by avoiding specific words or phrases.
You can be a destructive word… Take the word "You" and throw it in a freaking lake. That shit is a disaster.
Nothing sparks a defensive reaction like telling someone "YOU" are doing this, or "YOU" did that. Blah, it actually irritates me just thinking about it.
"You did a good job with the budget this month, but you really shit the bed with your fun money"… The word "but" will negate ANY positive statement you had previously made.
It's what we call a "dis-empowering word" in Corporate America…
Using the word "whatever" is pretty much telling your partner that you no longer give a shit about what they have to say. You aren't interested in their views, and the conversation just got emotional. It's a train wreck of a word.
This can be tricky… You probably have wants. You want to get out of debt, and you want to improve your relationship. Those are wonderful things.
Using "I want" in a negative way will force your partner into a defensive position. "I want you to stop buying X".
Maybe you do in-fact want them to stop buying so much shit, but we can get to that later. Small steps in the right direction are the key. Remember… they might have to ease into the money pool, you don't' wanna push them into the deep end.
What If It Doesn't Go Well
Ok… I'm not going to spend a lot of time here but, worst case scenario. Your partner gets pissed off and defensive.
Stop, drop and roll. Well, not really, but I bet if you did it would break the tension.
If the conversation starts to go to negative town, you gotta stop the money discussion.
Just like a social media debate, trying to prove a point in an emotional conversation tends to engrain someone deeper into their own beliefs.
The absolute last thing you want to do is fight. If you're going to pursue debt-freedom together, these money talks are going to have to happen frequently, and they shouldn't be dreaded or surrounded by negativity.
So, again… if the conversation gets shitty… Just stop. Don't try to prove your point, JUST STOP.
Final Thoughts
Will the money conversation go well? I hope it does. I really do. It breaks my heart when I see people post on social media about how their partner isn't on board.
I wish I could get these couples together to just talk. Money doesn't have to be taboo. It doesn't have to be about control, or deprivation. Money should be about freedom and joy.
You may find yourself crazy in debt, and your partner might think it's hopeless. Show them it's not!! You can get out. You can improve, and you can have a healthy financial life together.
Bring your passion for money (and your relationship) to the table, really lay it out there. If you're serious about this… show it.
They say money can't buy happiness. Although that's true, it can cause a shit load of sadness and despair… Don't let it ruin your marriage.
Forge ahead and conquer the taboo subject that is money.

Hong Kong and Gibraltar similarities...
In March 1979, Governor Murray MacLehose, raised the issue of Hong Kong with the then Chinese leader on his first official visit to China; who then stated that China would reassert sovereignty over it. In 1982 former Prime Minister Edward Heath in his capacity as Margaret Thatcher's special envoy met the leader who reaffirmed his position. After which Margaret Thatcher herself visited China to discuss Hong Kong's future.
In December 1984 the Sino-British joint Declaration; a treaty agreeing that all of Hong Kong would be returned to China in 1997; was signed in Beijing, after four months of talks; and ratified in 1985. In 1992 Governor Chris Patten announced proposals for the democratic reform of Hong Kong`s institutions, something which outraged China who said she had not been consulted.
When you read this, although the status of the territory in question has nothing to do with Gibraltar; yet there are certain similarities which are pertinent to both. Once we too, a small territory ceded to Britain by Spain, were held to be a strategic territory. I say this because although this is something that has always been thought to be so; as we believe it is today; yet there have been times when this has been questioned. If you recall back in 1971, the United Kingdom Government led by Edward Heath; unbeknown to us; considered the possibility of exchanging sovereignty for a 999 year lease on Gibraltar; as it was felt it had ceased to be of any military or economic value.
We too have always had to fight a hard fight to reassert our rights and aspirations, because time after time, one British Government or another has put us up against the wall and found itself having to ask us on what side of the fence we stand; and always supposedly because of pressure from Spain, or that was their excuse anyway!
The first referendum found us behind bars so to speak; under siege for sixteen long years; and the next one found us in the 21st Century; when in July 2002, the then Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, in a formal statement in the House of Commons, said that after 12 months of negotiation the British Government and Spain were in broad agreement on many of the principles that should underpin a lasting settlement of Spain's sovereignty claim which included the principle that Britain and Spain should share sovereignty over Gibraltar. The referendum results showed once again that 99% of residents were opposed to British and Spanish plans to seek joint sovereignty.
Curiously at this time, we had Prime Minister Tony Blair, saying that Britain would retain control over the military base, but its status could change to a NATO base. On another curious note, when I came across a Gibraltar factfile: "a brief history" from 2002 published by the Telegraph newspaper; which according to them states that both Britain and Spain would not recognise such a vote! Goodness knows what other questionable information has been written about us out there by the so called the reputable British press.
In 2003 an anti subversion law sparked protests. In 2004, China ruled that its approval had to be sought for any changes to the Hong Kong`s election laws. If you recall, back in 1975, the British Foreign Office Minister Roy Hattersley stated, that any constitutional change would have to involve a Spanish dimension. I well realize here that we speak of a Communist country and not a democratic one as Spain – sorry this always gets stuck in my gullet- is supposed to be. A demonstration protesting Beijing's `s ruling with some 200,000 people took place. Britain then accused China of interference in a manner inconsistent with self governance guarantees agreed before the hand over. We all remember only too well know what happened at Tiananmen Square.
We also know that on countless occasions, the British Government has accused Spain of wrong doing, including her reneging of the Cordoba agreement; we also know that their accusations or complaints have constantly been ignored.
Hong Kong is now in the grips of a political crisis and there have been violent demonstrations as protesters have taken to the streets to reject proposed extradition bill. Why do they not want this legislation? Because they believe that the bill would put its citizens at risk of being entrapped in China's judicial system; with political activists also being targeted and not just suspected criminals.
Hong Kong was supposed to be guaranteed the right to retain its social legal and political system, but China's ruling Communist party has been constantly reneging on that agreement.
I have felt a need to write about this if only to remind those out there who might still believe that Spain; a democracy which the nation raced to embrace; the people for its cultural freedoms and Politicians for the chance to enter the big boys clubs; would ever honour any commitments towards us.
They have never understood the concept, which now Sr. Borrell wishes to throw to the wind in order to show that Spain is EU material.

I was doing a little bit of unpacking and much needed cleaning (yes I still have lots of stuff that is still packed up from our move!) in the studio earlier today and I found these forgotten characters. I made these a couple of years ago and I'm not sure why I still have them. Even though I have neglected them, they still smiled up at me in an unconditional love kind of way and I decided that these guys need nice new homes right now!
Soooo...I just listed them all to Etsy at a slightly lower than usual price. If you see one that you'd like, skip over to Etsy to pick it up or you can just email me at email@example.com and let me know which one put a twinkle in your eye. :)
Oh...and these ones might be even older! I can't remember the last time I needle felted something for Halloween...but the witch and pumpkin are needle felted wool and then hand painted. The sweet kitty is from my chalk pouring days and is quite proper and snooty (and cheap!). :)

This antique white bed frame was created by Cheryl from Shab-2-Fab! She used Crinoline, as well as Hemp Oil and Black Wax to create this look.
As you can see, this bed frame started out with lovely bones!
To begin with, Cheryl painted the entire headboard and footboard in the color, Crinoline.
To match her existing antique-style dresser, Cheryl decided to create an antique finish. She applied a combination of Hemp Oil and Black Wax, then buffed away the excess with a lint-free rag. Here's how it looked during each step of the waxing process:
Isn't it lovely?

Cheryl {Shab-2-Fab}
I am a small town gal with a passion for refinishing furniture. I live and work out of my home in Cedar City Utah and I am the mother of two little ones. I've always been a creative person and find tremendous joy in giving old furniture new life. Painting furniture has always felt natural to me and I feel an abundance of pride and joy when I have upcycled and saved a piece of history that might have been forgotten.

Thandi's Love: Final Edition by Angel Strong is a love story set in the deep South of Newport, South Carolina, and spanning the mid-1800s. It is a time when masters controlled their slaves. Tom Lexington is the plantation owner, but also childhood playmates with Thandi and her brother, Isaac, until they are sent to his aunt's plantation. Years pass, and Tom is forced to marry Anna in order to keep his family's plantation away from her father, Daniel. Time has passed and Aunt Lacy sends Tom help to bring in the cotton harvest. This help includes his old friends, Thandi and Isaac.
The trio quickly renews their friendship, and much against Anna's wishes because they are black and slaves. Tom sees that Thandi and Isaac are given beautiful guest rooms and allowed the freedom of the plantation. It quickly becomes more than friendship when Thandi and Tom fall deeply in love. Anna and her father are furious at this and do all they can to end the romance and make life miserable for Tom. Enter Victor, who comes to keep an eye on the situation and he too quickly falls for the beautiful Thandi.
I really found Thandi's Love to be a treasure. There are secrets and heartbreak over the years, but there is also much love, friendship and good times. It got my attention from the first paragraph and never left me disappointed. Thandi's Love is a warm and loving story that is a must-read. It is impossible not to feel all of the joy and pain of Thandi, Tom and Victor. I strongly urge you to read this book. It will make you smile, it will make you cry, but, importantly, it will keep you entertained.

The Jordanian Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship (MoDEE) has migrated its ICT infrastructure to the cloud, as part of its ongoing digitalisation process.
The MoDEE completed the migration using Nutanix's enterprise cloud software. The move will help the Jordanian government provide a whole new range of online services to its citizens.
"We don't like to call it e-government anymore; it's a digital transformation for Jordan, where we move to a digital economy – where we allow each and every service to be provided digitally and paid for digitally," said HE Mothanna Gharaibeh, Jordan's Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship.
"This cannot happen without having everything on the cloud – quick and efficient. So Nutanix has indeed been a good partner in helping us to deliver this mandate."
The MoDEE is responsible for enabling the country's digital transformation for all of its public bodies and entities. Cloud computing will be the fulcrum upon which the country's digital economy is leveraged. Migrating to Nutanix's enterprise cloud platform has enabled the Jordanian government to trouble shoot a number of key snagging points and bottlenecks.
"We had problems with updates, upgrades and expansions," explained Abdallah Al-Farrayih, MoDEE's operations manager.
"After moving to the Nutanix Cloud, we could manage all of our infrastructure from a single location – storage, network, virtual machines, everything from a single dashboard," he added.
The new sense of control is due to Nutanix's one-click infrastructure management console, Prism, which allows users to seamlessly and easily monitor all virtual environments running on AOS. The dashboard is designed to simplify and streamline common workflows, and to make hypervisor and VM management as easy as checking email, a Nutanix spokesman said.
"With Nutanix, we can easily integrate with many platforms," Mr. Al-Farrayih added. "And we can use the built-in features in Nutanix related to security and backup."

Few latest decades have seen rapid growth in the application of LiDAR in various industrial domains. LiDAR sensors become more and more available and currently can be fit on any device from a drone to a vehicle performing high precision data collection quick and easy. Yet, the most challenging and time-consuming task is to process the data accurately and deliver valuable insights to the final customer.
EOS - is the one to undertake the mission of interpreting and analyzing big data for a diversity of your needs. From now, with the advanced algorithms from our data scientists team, you are able to get the most precise outcome.
We detect built structures and produce accurate 3D urban models from raw LiDAR data Point Clouds in a fully automated mode. As a result, raw point cloud input data is transformed into 3D vector models with a high level of detail.
The system provides monitoring of city architectural changes over a selected period of time as an automated comparison and analysis of two LiDAR Point Clouds. This solution detects locations of changes in positions and shapes of buildings as 3D models with information about these changes.
The system builds a Digital Elevation Model that represents the bare earth terrain of a selected area, which is essential while managing various types of projects. It helps to visualize the contours accurately and precisely and get almost the real picture with all the natural and man-made objects within the area.
All files within input datasets should have the same coordinate reference system
Point density should be more than 3-5 points per square meter
Security real-time perimeter monitoring
The surveillance solution is highly effective for any land monitoring and may be deployed in the worst conditions for visibility including dust, smoke, fog and more. The software can be employed as a stand-alone monitoring system or together with other existing surveillance techniques such as a Video Surveillance System.

Doom 2016: All Easter Eggs and How to Trigger them
We know you want the information. Oh, and spoilers!
Doom just came out today and we have been dutifully playing through it. And since everyone loves Easter eggs, we might as well tell you what we have found so far, in no particular order. We are going to divide these up into tributes to Bethesda Games and non-Bethesda references. So, fair warning, there be spoilers ahead.
Non-Bethesda references
Terminator 2: Jumping into a pool of molten fire will kill your character. You burst into flames and start to sink, giving a thumbs up as you eventually submerge.
Candy Crush Saga: There is a lab with a interactive video monitor that allows you to play a game called Demonic Destruction. It plays just like a match-3 game and will waste a ton of your time if you let it.
Bethesda Games
Skyrim: As you travel through the demon-filled halls of the UAC you might come across a skeleton wearing a very familiar looking horned helm from one of Bethesda's signature series.
Commander Keen: Another skeleton appears to be the commander wearing his iconic football helmet. The folks at id have upgraded it a bit, emblazoning Doom on the side.
Original Doom: Taking a lift down to level 4-A, you will find a room with the old Green armor and a med kit. It's a nice throwback to the original Doom, and is a direct testament to how far the series has come.
Doom 2: Pulling a lever will open up a secret room, which reveals a Doom 2 room with old Doom 2 corpses, and a few imps from the current generation of Doom.
If you get gibbed in one of these secret Doom rooms and position the camera in just the right way, you can see the original Doom marine in all his pixelated glory inside your helmet.
Doom 3: In a corner of a room, which only can be reached by jumping over some boxes, you will find an old arcade game of Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3. Time to punch some turkeys.
Fallout 4: Perhaps one of the biggest series that Bethesda has become known for, Fallout is all over the place in the newest Doom. If you pay careful attention you can often see their logo stickered on several of the doors throughout the UAC. It's a nice nod to the wasteland.
Looking to pave your way through demons without taking any damage? Or maybe you want to revel in the delightfully gory deaths of your enemies at the hands of your famed Glory Kill animations. Whatever you're looking for, our Console Command list can help.
