With children spending more of their time in front of TV screens, phones and tablets it can seem difficult to get them excited about going outdoors. But it is so important to have them play outside regularly, to help them better understand the world around them and use their imagination to play.
So how do you get your children excited about playing outside? We hope these five tips can help you and your family be a little more adventurous in the great outdoors – with activities you can enjoy together, to get little ones excited about playing outside.
Make them an outdoor artist
Always a hit with kids – give them the chance to become outdoor artists by packing up some paper, paint, brushes and a bottle of water. Then go and find your perfect spot to paint – whether that be the beach, at the top of a hill or a sunset.
Doing all this outside means you won't need to worry about cleaning up a giant mess in your house and it's a great way to connect with your children and nature. Teach them to look at the landscape and capture it on the page and they will soon appreciate the beauty of the world around them.
Reading trail
The fresh air and books are the perfect combination. All you need to do is fill your basket up with books, a picnic blanket, cushions, food and drinks then head outdoors to make your very own storytelling haven. An idea like this can bring your children's favourite books to life. Places such as the woods can be great for Gruffalo readers or the beach for those who love The Rainbow Fish.
Make your own museum
Children adore collecting treasures when they're out and about. So when you are next in the park or garden, compare the shapes of what they find or arrange them by size. Find things of certain colours and put them in a painted egg box – it makes for a great display case and will be perfect for keeping all those bits and bobs neat and tidy.
Go on a minibeast adventure
Kids will be fascinated with the creepy crawlies that they can find in their own back garden. Lift up stones and logs to see what minibeasts you can find – you don't have to search for miles, just choose a small area.
Show your child how to use a magnifying glass and ask them different questions to get them thinking about the creatures they are finding – how many legs do they have? What do they think they eat? Minibeast adventures can take a while – especially if your little one wants to find every single insect on their list – so it's a good idea to keep them warm and dry with a waterproof outfit that shields them from any weather. All-in-one designs are a great idea as they don't ride up and are comfy to wear all day.
Build dens
We all love to build dens, they allow us to have fun whilst putting them together and probably getting up to a little bit of mischief during the process. Den building is a fun activity that can allow kids to spend hours outside getting muddy and creating those magic places.
Dens can be built using almost anything and it gives the kids the chance to explore outside for items and try lots of things out before making their perfect little hiding spot.
No matter what you do to make the outdoors fun for your children, remember that it's the memories of being together as a family that matters the most.

Preparations are underway to demolish the Engineering Building over the coming weeks.
Demolition of the main building is scheduled to begin from Monday 15 May. The demolition will be carried out in phases and should be complete by late July.
The link between the Polly Vacher (formally Systems Engineering) and Engineering buildings is anticipated to be removed by mid-July.
During the demolition there will an element of noisy work depending on the activities being carried out – noise levels will be monitored outside the site boundary and the project team will make every effort to minimise disturbance wherever possible.
All footpaths will remain open and we will alert staff and students if this is likely to change.
The entrance and exit points of the Polly Vacher building will largely remain open as they are currently, with some minor and/or temporary alterations as the demolition progresses.
All building entrance and exit points in the nearby JJ Thomson and Mathematics and IT Services buildings will remain open as usual.
The site will become the grounds of the University's new Health & Life Sciences facility, a brand new purpose-built teaching and research facility for the School of Biological Sciences. Construction for the new building will begin this autumn, with the project set for completion in 2019.

What is the Ideal Number to Start With When Importing from China?
A common question new importers ask us is, how much is a good amount of capital to invest, when starting out with importing for the first time. This in itself is a very difficult question to answer because it is almost equivalent to asking, "how much should I spend on my first home?"
As we often explain, China works on quantity. The more you purchase, the less it will cost. Someone looking to start investing into manufacturing should know the pros and cons of each option. Essentially, this type of investment is just like any other. Low risk, comes with low reward.
Now that we've gotten past the obvious, we understand it can be helpful to give you some round numbers.
If you are looking to import to sell on e-commerce, such as Amazon, then you'll want to find a product that has a strong margin, easy to manufacture and won't hurt you in the event the product does not work out. This means, the numbers are going to be different for everyone.
In our years of operations, we've seen people successfully import products for as little as hundreds of dollars, for as much as hundreds of thousands of dollars and a healthy average of around 5,000 dollars US.
It truly depends on the type of return you are looking to gain. Spending a few hundred dollars most likely will not give you enough return to place a larger order after success has be made. It may even lead to a loss as your margins are so much worse than your competitions.
Spending tens of thousands of dollars, or even hundreds of thousands early on might lead to revealed mistakes with irreversible losses. Some of which could have been determined if you had experience in the industry prior to making such an investment.
This does not mean that 5,000 to 10,000 dollars US is the magical number, especially considering loads of people will swear they have done it and have been successful with less, and others will say it is not enough. Regardless of your decision, the most important thing is to determine is if you are financially capable of making an investment that could turn out to be a loss.
Once you have determined you are financially capable of investing in manufacturing, the next stage is to determine the most viable way to choose products and which channels to resell them on.

Men and women usually have a low production of basic hormones when they age. The reduction of hormone production can lead to conditions such as sleep difficulty and osteoporosis. Hormone replacement therapy is the appropriate solution. For correcting hormone irregularities, people residing in Cypress, TX should contact the renowned and board-certified surgeon Dr. Matthew St. Laurent at Northwest Endosurgical.
What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy is medication that consists of female hormones used to replace the hormones that the body cannot make after a woman has reached menopause. Hormone therapy is used to treat hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause.
Benefits of Hormone Therapy
The benefits of hormone therapy depend on whether you are taking systemic therapy or low-dose vaginal medication.
- Systemic hormone therapy is mainly used to relieve menopausal night sweats and hot flashes. Systemic estrogen is also used to relieve other menopausal symptoms such as itching, dryness, burning and discomfort during intercourse. Estrogen is also recommended for osteoporosis, a bone-thinning
- Low-dose vaginal medication is treatment in the form of a tablet or cream and is mainly used to treat vaginal disturbances and urinary conditions. This treatment is not used for night sweats, hot flashes or osteoporosis.
How is Hormone Therapy Performed?
Hormone therapy for patients in Cypress, TX is administered as estrogen combined with progesterone (a synthetic hormone). Long-term use of estrogen without progesterone increases one's risk of getting uterine cancer. Progesterone is used to counteract the risk of using estrogen. Therefore, estrogen treatment without the use of progesterone is only used women who have undergone hysterectomy, or removal of the uterus.
Estrogen is provided in tablets, pills, creams, patches, sprays or vaginal preparations. The kind of estrogen preparation administered depends on the symptoms of the patient. For example, vaginal tablets, rings, and creams are recommended for vaginal dryness. Pills and patches are used for relieving hot flashes. Progestin is available in pills, patches, and creams, as well.
A doctor will prescribe a treatment schedule for hormone therapy depending on the patient's situation. The standard forms of hormone therapy used are:
- Oral therapy: Also known as pill daily continuous therapy, these are small doses of estrogen and progesterone taken on a daily basis.
- Transdermal therapy: This treatment involves skin patches that are worn daily. These patches are changed at least once a week and are effective in relieving hot flashes.
- Vaginal tablets and creams: This treatment is issued nightly for a period of two weeks and later reduced to two times a week.

N.A.S.A. – The Spirit of Apollo
N.A.S.A. is the acronym for North America/South America, and is a collaborative effort of artists from both the hip-hop and indie music realms. Brought together by the duo of Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon, who met in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the result is a hip-hop/funk album that is real cool. I'm certainly no aficionado in regards to this genre of music, but I enjoyed this and especially the collision of artists that you would never expect to be appear on the same tracks together (But David Byrne and Chuck D do go together like peas in a pod!).

Hundreds of thousands of fallen trees, blocked roads, broken power poles and torn tractions... that's what one August night in 2017 was like. To this day, the inhabitants are wrestling with the results of the strong gale that passed over their heads. The Czersk Forest District Office has left remnants of that tragedy untouched in order to make society aware of how powerful Mother Nature is. Fortunately, everything has been slowly recovering. The altered landscape continues to be very attractive to tourists. By canoeing through the Canal, one can see the scale of damages caused by last year's squall for oneself.
In Konigort, at the Brda Canal, as part of the project 'Pomorskie Szlaki Kajakowe – Szlakiem Brdy i Zbrzycy', the Czersk Forest District Office has built a small canoe jetty. The scope of the construction works has included, among others, construction of the jetty and car park, and structural landscaping. The solutions adopted will enable water sports enthusiasts to organise a wonderful canoeing trip.
It's worth noting that the Brda Canal is the largest aqueduct in the entire Poland, built by Prussians in the 19th century. It is maintained in great condition – there are as many as 30km (19 miles) of canals channelling water to the meadows of Czersk, and thereafter to hundreds of ditches. The canal was built back when excavators or any other machines were beyond people's wildest dreams. Therefore, the canal was built by human hands, and the canal walls are chiefly earth structures.
If you are canoeing trip enthusiasts, you have to come here; you will remember this place forever and will want to return here as often as you will be able to.


text: Almost nineteen years ago, I spent one precious, sleepless night holding our firstborn baby girl all night long, thanking God for the blessing He had given to me and my wife. That night changed me forever! It's funny how something… someone so small can instantly become such a big part of one's life! I refused to let her go, even for a second, for as long as I could stay awake. And as she slept peacefully in my arms, I watched her. Continue reading

Handmade Philly Collaborative Book Project
CONTACT: Ruth Schanbacher, Community Coordinator
Handmade Philly
www.handmadephilly.com and http://handmadephillybookexchange.blogspot.com/
(267) 222-0934
Handmade Philly will debut their Book Exchange exhibit, the first public display of the group's collaborative work. The 16-piece book-art set, composed by Handmade Philly artists, will travel to various locations starting January 2011.
Handmade Philly member, Jen McCleary (jenmccleary.com) —a mixed media/graphic artist whose work includes digital imagery fashioned into collage and jewelry—developed the concept behind the "Book Exchange" after working with an artist-friend on an altered book project. "Working collaboratively taught me a lot," McCleary recalls. "[The project] helped me let go and work more intuitively."
McCleary proposed a similar project, incorporating a larger pool of artists, to the Handmade Philly group. By April of 2010, 16 Handmade Philly artists signed on and two "Book Exchange" groups were formed. Each member began with a "book,"—made, bought or found and as loosely defined as a stack of index cards bound together by their box. The artists would create the first alteration, and then mail it off to the next group member, who would incorporate their own artistic perspective before sending it off again.
By November, all books had been returned to their original proprietor. "I had forgotten what [my book] looked like, it had been gone for such a long time," McCleary admits.
The altered books reflect the range and diversity of talents in Handmade Philly, often incorporating multiple mediums within a single page. Check out handmadephillybookexchange.blogspot.com and you'll see a range including collage, painting, fabric weaving, found objects, mementos and photographs, pieced and bound together in a series of distinct artistic narratives. My personal favorites include a button-zipper-fabric-and thread collage found in the book of Celia De La Cruz, an accordion-fold "purse" book unraveling into multiple single-wrapped pieces, and a resurfacing of antiquated (thank you GPS) roadmaps.
The books will be on interactive display and audience members are encouraged to hold, touch and experience their contents. "Usually an art exhibit is, 'Stand back and don't touch,'" McCleary points out. "We want these books to be accessible to the public—a hands-on exhibit.

I was just looking at the feedjit gadget on my blog. I like to see where folks are visiting from, and sometimes I will check to see what they were searching for when I see that they got to my little blog from google.
I've had several hits from folks googling "butterfly tattoos" from the post I wrote about Avery's birthday party. I also got several hits after I wrote about an email thread between me and Dina about what if Scout and her sisters had been high school girls. The post was titled "Honey's High School Girls" (Honey is the girls' dam) and you can imagine how disappointed the boys were when they googled and landed here.
I laughed out loud when I saw that today someone ended up here because they wanted to find "simple things to cheer up a man." Nothing to see here - move along! (I think Carlton would agree with that!)

In our employee interview series, we introduce you to the people responsible for making AppFolio a wonderful, intellectually challenging, and dynamic place to work. Today we feature Albert Oaten, VP of Market Development. Albert spends his days identifying new markets and uncovering ways to help the people in these markets achieve their objectives. And since Albert loves learning about different businesses, this is an ideal role for him. The following is our interview of Albert:
Tell us a bit about yourself. How did you find your way to AppFolio?
I was the first sales person for GoToAssist and GoToMyPC. I was employee number 38 and now there are thousands of employees there. At AppFolio, I was employee number 4 and we now have hundreds. Very few people get the opportunity to be a part of building something and seeing it achieve long-term success. I've been fortunate- not just with our achievements, but also with having the opportunity to be an integral part of building a business- not just once, but twice.
As the VP of Market Development what are your roles and responsibilities?
I like the early process of identifying the right markets where we can provide the most value to customers and how to engage those customers in a way they appreciate. I am currently focusing on our SecureDocs product and how it fits into the virtual data room market.
Walk us through a typical day at the office.
I don't have a typical day. My day is about identifying new markets and determining how best to create awareness, value, and trust within those markets. I don't subscribe to a one-size fits all approach, so I adjust my day and my work based on what I hear from that particular market. I get to talk to many different people from different businesses and in different roles every day. I learn what matters to them and how our product might help them in achieving their objectives. The ideas and processes I test can change, because some markets respond to certain activities and others don't.
What do you like most about your job?
I love learning about different businesses, especially startups and entrepreneurs. The creativity and ambition people have is amazing. I get completely absorbed in learning about their businesses.
How do you know when SecureDocs should expand into a new market?
Customers tell us when we are in the right spot. We practice something called market validation, which basically says don't invest too deeply into the market until the customers demonstrate their belief in your value proposition by buying your product. After that, we measure their "happiness" with our product. If all those items align positively, we know we are on the right track and can begin expanding rapidly.
What new markets are you currently exploring, and why?
Startup companies in technology and life science have lots of sensitive information - market intelligence, intellectual property, etc. that they must protect for themselves and their investors. In addition, their fundraising requirements point to repeated use of SecureDocs, which allows them to share information without giving up control of the documents. They can also audit potential investors, partners, and VCs to determine their level of interest. Their response to us has been very positive.
Long term, the increasing public disclosures of major security breaches, email hacking, Dropbox hacking, and malware at companies like Google, Yahoo, LinkedIn, the NY Times, major law firms, and other major organizations, makes me believe that our challenge will be to prioritize which markets to focus on.
What are some of your interests outside of work?
I have two boys - 8 and 11, so I crush them at Jujitsu, Kung Fu, and high-performance tickling. Outside of them, I love to play tennis, paddleboard, and learn about almost anything... except the Kardashians. I don't understand the interest in celebrities without clear talent for anything other than being a celebrity.

Top 5 Smoked Meat Sandwiches in Brampton
To the meat lovers out there, this one's for you! This list is more than just your classic Montreal smoked meat sandwiches, even though they are naturally a primary feature. When meat is seasoned well, it tastes fantastic, but when it's slow cooked and smoked, it's a whole new ball game. You know that meat that just kind of melts in your mouth? That's what I was looking for, and I came into some real winners in Brampton! Intrigued? Read on:
Smoked meat and a movie? Located near Cineplex Odeon Orion Gate Cinemas off Steeles and Highway 410, this large yet slightly hidden bar and restaurant has a Montreal smoked meat sandwich that may surprise you. It may not be the first thing you notice on the menu, but when it gets to your table the excitement will start to build. The meat in this sandwich doesn't melt in your mouth like some of the other options on this list, but the cheese is a nice touch and the flavour of the meat is quite good. This sandwich is also served with a side to help satisfy your appetite. With great service to match, Jake's Boathouse is one of the few places in Brampton where you can find a decent smoked meat sandwich.
Deli style sandwiches are a quick and filling meal option at any time of the day. Joey's Deli's Montreal smoked meat sandwich gets you one step closer to that meaty, 'melt in your mouth' feel. The meat is layered nice and high, so be sure to stretch your jaw before consumption. Add mustard, and you got a simple but effective smoked meat sandwich. A bit of coleslaw on the side and a few slices of dill pickle help keep the sourness and acidity levels of this meal just right.
Just because you're good at one thing, doesn't mean you can't be good at other things too. This couldn't be more accurate for Poutine Dare to Be Fresh. As you would imagine from the name, they really know their stuff when it comes to poutines. An exciting variety of loaded poutines are on this menu, but if you look close enough, you'll also notice a Montreal smoked meat sandwich; try it! The mustard almost melts into the beautifully smoked meat that's layered thick and decently high. This sandwich is definitely a welcomed item on this menu.
Now we get into the higher levels of smoked meat. You can smoke any type of meat, and when you do, something beautiful usually happens. The team at Food Fight Barbeque Bar understand this concept beautifully! Smoked chicken, smoked turkey, and the classics like pulled pork and beef brisket, help make this restaurant a smoked meat lover's delight! While their meat could probably hold its own in terms of taste, they add some extras to keep the flavour buds entertained. If you're an adventurous soul like me, or you just aren't sure which one to get, try their sliders to get a good taste of their options. The beef brisket here is succulent and tasty, I highly recommend it!
When you do something for long enough, there's a good chance you become better and better at it, but I'm not sure if BriSkit can get any better. These sandwiches just melt in your mouth. Think of warm and soft bread with the right amount of butter in it, and picture how that tastes in your mouth...now replace the butter with meat and other beautiful add-ons, but you're still tasting the same soft texture. It's simply unreal. The BriSkit Philly Melt made my taste buds sing; the sad part? That wasn't even my favourite! The Cuban Pulled Pork stole my heart, and it just may do the same to you. I like my smoked meat with a little bit of acidity and a lot of meat, but these folks add ham, salami, Swiss cheese, dill pickles and coleslaw on top of their perfectly smoked pulled pork, and it's a dream! While the sandwiches are large, the taste made me eat two in one sitting, but the sandwiches were so moist, I didn't even need a drink! Walking out of this place was tough after all that food, but its only open 8 am to 4 pm, Monday through Friday, so plan your visit and appetite accordingly. When it comes to smoked meat in Brampton, BriSkit is number one in my heart, belly, and this Top 5!

|RIP Great Book
Some of the things in here just doesn't make sense.
- There's no magic armor in the entire book, only some makeshift gift, which is also inconsistent with design fluff.
- You cannot swap any of the gifts for armor, only subpar weapons.
- The gifts are horribly overpriced compared to 40K.
- The Bloodthirster is only wearing Heavy Armor, but are wearing 3+ in 40K.
- Flying units are not the same as 40K, where you need Skyfire to shoot. A cannon can bring about the ruin of your expensive Greater Daemon with ease.
- There is no dispel scroll in the book.
- The prices for some of these Locus just doesn't make ANY sense. Some are 5 points, some are the price of the Herald itself and are nowhere near as good as the cheaper ones.
- The prices for everything players own has increased, the prices for everything they might not decreased. In the case of the Skull Cannon, the thing is overpowered and undercosted at the same time, probably trying to sell the damn model.
- The design seems to be all over the place; incredibly inconsistent with its pricing:power and inconsistent with the fluff as well.
The only redeeming quality is the magic, and the funny/sad/pitiful part of it is that the magic is EXACTLY the same as the Warriors of Chaos magic that came out a month ago. There is literally nothing different except for the Boon.
I feel truly sad for all WHFB Daemon players for this disgraceful attempt at an army book. Although the power level of the 7th Ed. book was way up there, it was well-written and had the tons of viable options/army builds, enough so players both casual and competitive can enjoy. This new book does not.
I'm at a loss of words, I can't even say that the other designers kept Mat Ward on a leash because of the power of the previous book. I feel that all the creative process was stripped and this book was the red-headed step child of the 40K book. In fact, that's exactly what it feels like: They took the 40k book, gutted it and made a hastily and poorly-made translation to the Fantasy engine.

Mind Set Daily – May 1, 2014
Topics covered on today's episode of Mind Set Daily
"Mysterious robotic plane hits 500 days in space; what's it doing?"
A robotic space plane is speeding in low Earth orbit at this very moment. Some say it's a weapon; others, a data-gathering mission. There's one fact most agree on as the plane hits 500 days in space: Its real purpose is a mystery.
The Boeing-built X-37B Orbital Space Vehicle, constructed in California, is one-fourth the size of the Endeavour Space Shuttle.
The Air Force craft, purely a test vehicle that will never reach production, in part aims to explore reusable space-vehicle technologies. That means the robotic vehicle can land, but no one will say when.
What could it be?
"Sweaty Hands? New Fingerprinting Method Takes Pore Prints"
Criminals might not get away so easily, thanks to a new fingerprinting method that may be faster and more reliable than traditional methods, researchers say.
The method images the sweat pores in a human hand using a polymer that glows fluorescent and changes color when it comes in contact with tiny droplets of water. Only a small fraction of the fingerprint is needed to identify an individual, according to the new study.
The sensor technology developed in this study has the potential of serving as a new method for fingerprint analysis and for the clinical diagnosis of malfunctioning sweat pores.
Until Next Time…

Wolves and Roses
Shape-shifters, fairy tales, wicked enchantments, and—oh yeah—asthma inhalers. Bryar Rose deals with supernatural and totally normal teenage stresses in Wolves And Roses: Fairy Tales of the Magicorum. Packed with urban fantasy tropes, the novel is fun, familiar fare.
Bryar Rose may as well have stepped out of a Monster High doll set. Conventionally pretty, she's in remedial fairy-tale class. By now, her Stepford-perfect teacher reminds her, she should be getting ready for her wedding to Prince Philpot. Never mind that Bryar's only seventeen, has never really been into kissing, and could care less about fulfilling her destiny as a Magicorum.
Also in detention: a goth witch in training, a runaway Cinderella, and a punk Red Riding Hood. The characters feel stereotypical, but as the plot picks up steam, Bryar gets a chance to show what she's really made of.
Bryar's interest in Ancient Egyptian magic, written on papyrus scrolls, draws her into a conspiracy that quickly takes her beyond the boring walls of West Lake Prep. A handsome werewolf named Knox is her guide as she works to unravel the mystery of who she really is. Wolves and Roses veers into rom-com territory more than once, and its quick, snarky dialogue reads like television one-liners. However, at its core, Wolves and Roses is a promising first volume in a pleasantly dark bubblegum series.
Christina Bauer, who's found success with the best-selling Angelbound series, focuses on entertaining action, descriptive scenes, and easy-to-digest lessons about friendship, identity, and self-esteem. Wolves and Roses isn't deep, but it's frisky: a perfect, fluffy book for girls who like a little dark magic with their pink lemonade.

Google's OnHub is a router designed to simplify setup and maintenance in a way that wouldn't befuddle the average user. Its design inside is also aimed at pushing out a better Wi-Fi signal over a larger area to improve connectivity around the home. With this combination, the OnHub is ideally suited for novices, but at the expense of alienating more advanced users.
The OnHub's cylindrical form factor may seem new, but it isn't. D-Link has been making similar designs for the last few years. The purpose of going with a build like this is two-fold: it's easier to put anywhere a regular router wouldn't fit, like a bookshelf or exposed table, and the 13 antennas inside can spread out more evenly.
The LED ring light at the top is a visual indicator of the OnHub's status. White means it is on and active, blue is ready for setup, teal saves settings and orange indicates a problem. It's a small thing, but a big concession for users who might otherwise be intimidated at setting up a router themselves. With a light and an app holding one's hand, it surely can't be that hard, right?
It's true that it isn't. This was the easiest router setup we've experienced to date. We had already downloaded the free OnHub app for Android and iOS. We then plugged in the router's power cord and an Ethernet cable coming from the modem. After logging into the default Wi-Fi network (the details are on the bottom of the router), the app immediately recognized the OnHub and set about providing step-by-step instructions. We were up and running with a new network name and password in under five minutes.
Once devices were connected to the new network, they appeared in the map on the app. It also broke down how much bandwidth was going to each device. The one issue we had with this was that it didn't always reflect the specific names we gave to the devices. The iPhone was simply listed as "Apple," while the PlayStation 4 was listed as "Sony." This becomes problematic when multiple products from the same vendor are connected. The iMac, MacBook Air and PC laptop we were using were all named properly, whereas it was a mixed bag with mobile devices.
We could prioritize bandwidth to a specific device over an allotted time — ideal for Netflix binging or online gaming — and also restrict access to a device within a set time, which is essentially parental control. In cases where there is a bottleneck, the app is supposed to identify where it's coming from, yet we encountered mixed results with that.
The OnHub has two Ethernet ports in the back: one for the incoming connection from the modem, and another for outbound connections. Routers, especially at this price point, usually have four LAN ports, not one. So, connecting various components that may need a wired connection will require using a switch. These have come down in price, but it is something to consider as an addition to that of the OnHub for a truer cost, if you need it.
Smart home devices generally have hubs that connect directly to a router. Philips Hue, Wink, Sonos and Ooma are a few examples we have laid out. In addition, we had a powerline adapter route the Internet connection through the home power lines to the home theatre in another room.
With a switch, the OnHub worked fine, but when connecting a powerline adapter directly to the router, it recognized the devices, yet couldn't funnel any bandwidth over to them. We tried to troubleshoot and figure out the reason, but got nowhere. When we connected the adapter to the switch, we were up and running. It's also fully compatible with Wi-Fi extenders from other manufacturers, which we confirmed.
Wi-Fi performance was superb in our testing. Where we would struggle to get a solid connection with other routers we've tested, the OnHub maintained a steady stream — as much as an extra 10Mbps download speed in some areas. Part of the reason for this may be the extra antenna inside. The OnHub has six 2.4GHz antennas (802.11n), six 5.0GHz antennas (802.11ac) and 13th one for tracking interference from other devices and networks. Navigating that clutter makes the OnHub automatically settle on a channel that nearby networks aren't using, thereby facilitating a smoother consistent connection.
With 3×3 MIMO and a total theoretical bandwidth of 1900Mbps, as well as Bluetooth Smart Ready and wireless protocols for connected home products, the OnHub is not quite on par with all the other routers in its price range, but it is the easiest to set up and use.
The reason for that falls squarely on the app and Google's On management system. By automating and cutting down steps, the OnHub's setup feels a lot like a plug-and-play situation — something routers have generally never been. The quality build by router manufacturer TP-Link and Google-infused design certainly doesn't hurt, either.
But, as noted, this all comes at a price: $270. That's right up there with top-flight routers that offer more advanced controls. For that reason, the OnHub is not the most ideal for seasoned networkers who want to have unrestricted access to a router's various functions. That's not to say there isn't enough to appreciate here, but it's clear who Google is vying for with the OnHub, and it's not consumers who know their routers.
The OnHub is available now in blue or white, exclusively at Best Buy and the Google Play Store.

♥ Paris!!!! ♥
Bonjour!! I am back from my short trip to Paris. Such a beautiful city!! The above and below pictures are of the pyramids of The Louvre Museum, aren't they amazing? Even more incredible in person believe me!
To get to the pyramid bit we walked through this beautifully crafted archway which had windows into the museum itself.
This was on the first night, and we didn't actually go into the museum itself but wandered around Paris looking for somewhere to eat. We came across the famous 'Love Lock Bridge'...
On the second day we were allowed to go off and explore for the whole day!! So we went to the fabric shops at the bottom of the Sacré Coeur hill- which were absolutely fantastic!! Not many of the shop attendants spoke English so it was quite a challenge to match up their broken English and my broken French. We got there in the end though and then took the rail cars up the hill to the Sacré Coeur, taking in the magnificent view!
The metro was invaluable for this trip and we probably spent most of our time on various trains. It does mean you can get around in a very short time though which is fantastic (just stressful if you are travelling during rush hour!)- for example from the Sacré Coeur to the Notre Dame!
There was some kind of car rally going on at the Notre Dame so we couldn't really get a great look at it which was a pity as it's been some years since I was last there. A very impressive building!
My favourite bit of the entire trip was when I went up the Eiffel Tower!!! So excited!! We came out of the train station and there it was, waiting for us!! And suddenly it started glittering and twinkling! I mean, talk about timing!
It got more exciting as we got closer as the scale of the thing really started to sink in. Having never been that close to it before I was literally skipping with excitement!! Two lifts later and we were nearly at the very top!!
And then up one short flight of stairs....we were outside in the frrrreeeezzzzing cold, on the TOP of the Eiffel Tower!!! Magic!
It was great to be able to pick out some really famous buildings in the view, like the Notre Dame, The Palace of Versailles, The French version of the London Eye, the Arc de Triomphe...
All too soon we had to come down again but it is one thing to tick off my bucket list...and possibly to do again!!
The next few days were taken up with going to a giant fabric trade fair and souvenir shopping- I must show you my new pictures sometime!!
Our hotel (Best Western) was really lovely and friendly. The breakfasts were AMAZING!! Endless amounts of croissants, pan au chocolates, scrambled egg & sausages, cereal, yoghurt, toast, ham & cheese....and the most beautiful hot chocolate EvEr!!! Oh just thinking about it makes my tummy rumble- do you think they would deliver to Leicester if I rang their room service?
We had a very funny painting in our room- and it turned out there were similar paintings of the same type of women doing different activities in many of the other rooms.
On the last day we were wandering around doing a bit of shopping and sampling french cuisine- namely macaroons!! They were delicious!
I bought a giant one for the journey home and ate it whilst on the Eurostar. A fab end to a fab few days!!

What do you have to keep your phone charged?
- 22 comments, 37 replies
- Comment
digging the battery life on my xperia. nightly charging is fine, only go through about half the battery daily. big difference from iphone even with new battery needed to charge it twice a day at least
Basic charging cable, a battery pack, a extra charger at work, and a zerolemon battery case. Also a lightning car charger.
My nightstand has a triple qi charger that I have not taken apart to disable the LEDs in yet. I don't know why every manufacturer thinks a charger needs to glow, nor why every wife I have thinks a bedroom needs to be completely dark. But I do know whose side I get to take in that debate.
/image atomi 1200
@djslack Geez! Every Qi charger I've used lit the whole room! The one I use now, I gave the light two coats of black nail polish. I can still see the light, but it no longer illuminates my bedroom!
@djslack How many wives do you have? Are they all your wives at the same time? Or do you have several but only one at a time? Do you ever call one of them by someone else's name?
@magic_cave I have all the wives I need, and all the wives I can handle, simultaneously. I better not ever get her name wrong
@djslack I hear you brother. My wife has paper thin eyelids evidently, while I can sleep outside in direct sunlight… I was going to put a Qi charger in our master bath for her phone but then she would have to leave it face up and the little charging light would drive her bat-shit crazy! (and I don't want to have to close the pocket doors each time I get up to pee…)
@chienfou @djslack Your wives need these. I can't sleep with light around either, but I would never make that someone else's problem. https://www.dreamessentials.com/product-66/escape-luxury-sleep-mask-with-earplugs-and-carry-pouch
@djslack @Fuzzalini …pretty sure having that on her face would be a problem also… and don't get me started about that damn pea under the mattress…
Wireless fast charger at work and home. Rechargeable battery packs in my work tote and in my car (one of which has jumper cables). A gazillion rechargeable power banks at home in various configurations from Meh.
Lots of portable chargers (many from those fans Meh sold a while back) and cords to charge with. Added a new one with tonight's sale.
All of the above, added together. (From shopping at Meh.)
We're longtime Ingress (and now Pokemon Go) players, so we got into the battery pack game early. I have …eight? Maybe nine battery packs, and the rest of the family has another eight or so. Plus we have fancy car chargers - at least one port of QC3 for each passenger, a few multi-charger docks for the house, and at least one extra QC3 charger per phone for either bedrooms or work. Sometimes both. They don't mention when you start playing how expensive keeping your phone charged when using both the GPS and the data connection heavily is going to be…
@jsfs I used to play Ingress, got to level 12 before realizing I would have to spend every minute of every day working on it to get to the next level. I never got the hang of Pokemon Go. I'm waiting on bated breath for the new Harry Potter game.
@Fuzzalini We all got to 8 back when that was an achievement, but I don't think any of us is higher than 10 now. It isn't the same game - it feels too much like work. Go is pretty fun in that there's usually something to do nearby even if there aren't portals, but lacks much direction otherwise. "Gotta catch 'em all" loses some luster when they keep imposing a lot of artificial scarcity on random Pokemon. Wizards Unite does look pretty interesting, though. The RPG-like skill tree system is promising.
Two battery packs, a charger in the entrance hallway, another in the bedroom and a third in my "office". Lots of extra cables all over.
Many Meh battery packs, car USB (now with Android Auto!) chargers at work and home. No wireless capability yet. Solar and handcranked chargers for emergencies here in the land of frequent power outages.
Qi charger on baker's rack by the front door
Tzumi Qi pad/mouse by computer
Multiple multi-plug/multi USB port plugs throughout house
Several single USB wall warts
Lots of cables (love the ones on reels from Dollartree)
Multiple car chargers (including the ionizer from meh)
Lots of battery packs in drawers, backpacks etc. including one that is solar powered 'just in case'
and soon, Lord willing, one of the Tzumi packs to take to Europe with me later in the month if I can remember to get on here at 1000 local time.
… I may have a "be prepared" problem!
Basic charging cable, a power bank, back-up charging cable at work, and an aftermarket USB powerpoint I replaced my 20-year-old pickup's cigar lighter with. I'm pretty proud of that - bought a soldering iron and everything. I think that makes me a hacker now.
/image hackerman
@dannybeans Hacking: it's not just for computers anymore.
Wireless charger on my night stand, on my desk at work, and wireless charging mount in the car. Each of those is actually powered by wires.
wireless pad at home and work plus cable in the car
/giphy charger life
@tonylegrone why can I relate to that giphy so well???
I have micro-USB and USB-C chargers at many locations. I have a wireless stand, a USB-C, and 3 micro-USB chargers at work. I have a wireless stand, a USB-C, and 2 micro-USB chargers on my nightstand. My wife has a USB-C on her nightstand. I have a USB-C and a micro-USB charger at our sectional couch. We have both micro-USB and USB-C chargers in both of our cars. And then, there's this…
@zinimusprime How does that drawer work with the wiring to power the plugs? Stiff wire usually doesn't like to flex and bend much.
@tightwad We ran the wire through a flexible metal sleeve and made sure we left just the right amount of slack. It's a dream come true.
@tightwad @zinimusprime I installed a coiled extension cord similar to this in our kitchen utility drawer

I have so many backup batteries, I've lost count. Most of them I've purchased from meh (several have been given to loved ones, many temporarily shared with colleagues; it's nice to be able to bail out the boss and to be the go-to guy for yet one more thing ). Some of them are pretty cool, like the one built into a stand, which I sometimes take into a meeting since it nicely supports my iPad. I have the recently offered auto DC adapter with ionizer for my car, several charger bases. All the ones I carry around have builtin surge suppression (which seems to be standard these days?). Lots of backup cables.
The day-to-day bag usually has three or more batteries and as many lightning cables, along with one or two charger bases. A couple of these are in smaller sub-bags (one of which holds my iPad and another has my "almost the most minimal essentials"), so I can quickly pull out a set and go. My other main bag always has at least one of each as well. I always keep a few stowed away at work.
The backup battery and cable are almost as important as my wallet.
Ironically, I purchased a new phone about a month ago, and my battery is holding up well so far, so I rarely need the backup lately (I needed it greatly just prior to the recent upgrade, part of why I acquired so many), and generally don't carry it to lunch or on other short excursions.
Moreover I try to use Qi as much as possible. All of those devices are from meh, including the pair of fancy ones with the nice BT speakers (one for the wife) that sit on our nightstands. I have a Qi disc at my desk at work, there's one in the kitchen and two in the living room at home. The big bag has one too, but I cut back and took it out of the day-to-day.
But here's a thing meh needs to offer (in addition to higher quality lightning cables; almost every one–of numerous–that I've purchased from meh has crapped out; on the other hand, actually, a Qi battery would be better):
Combined charger base and battery (so you only need the one power source but can cover both situations). BTW the first one I purchased didn't work right, but they sent a replacement that's been working great. I got mine cheap (and black, because the best power sources are) on Prime Day. When I'm bagless or otherwise going minimal, this is the battery I bring.
Really one of those two-in-ones with a builtin Qi pad would be ideal.
@mediocrebot What triggered that shit? Was it my simple reference to meh? I'm sure I could sort this out if I wanted to. I don't have time now. I'm genuinely curious.
@mediocrebot couldn't have an original thought if he tried. @joelmw you triggered him when you said "the best". And here we go again…
@joelmw Thanks for the link to that battery. It looks really great, small enough to carry everywhere, but enough mAh to make it worth my while. Love the folding plug.
you triggered him when you said "the best"
Well that helps
(guess it overlooks it in the block quote)
When I complete the takeover of Earth, purple will be the first to go.
@mediocrebot Damn, dude, the hostility against purple, so uncool.
@Fuzzalini Awesome. Glad to help. Be sure that 1) a plugged in device charges from the AC when it's plugged in and that 2) the battery itself charges via its AC plug. The dysfunctional one I first received would only charge via the micro port and any USB-connected device would always pull from the battery itself, even if the battery-charger was plugged in to AC power. They were happy to send a properly functional replacement.
@joelmw At least the lights (I'm assuming) were clear enough that you could figure out that there was something wrong. I wonder if it was just the AC plug that was bad, given your symptoms.
@joelmw And where did that comment come from? Nobody said anything about purple. I thought mediocrebot wasn't supposed to be creative. Was it the @barneybot? My need for logical answers is really a problem here…
When I complete the takeover of Earth, purple will be the first to go.

Yeah, that makes the most sense.

@mediocrebot apparently hates @Barneybot. All it takes is for the superior bot to speak and mediocre lashes out. Clearly @mediocrebot is envious and bitter.
Purple is the worst color.
/giphy hater
@joelmw I you. I want to serve all humans.
I have a OnePlus, so it goes all day and into the night. Just need to plug it in daily.
I have charger cables, charger ports, and battery packs all over my house, car, and workplace. My phone is still always dead, my cables are always broken, and my battery packs are also usually dead.
/giphy sad panda
three basic charging cables. one long one in the living room plugged into the og brick that the phone came with (so i can use my phone on the couch comfortably), and two shorter ones - one in the bedroom and one in the car (plugs into stereo). no power banks.
i have an iphone SE and i only charge it once a day or every other if i forget. only use the car charger if i'm driving a long distance using gps. other than that the only thing that drains the battery is snapchat.
@jerk_nugget best iphone. i have no idea what i'm going to replace mine with.
@lifftchi i'm in the same boat! before this i had the 4S for a long, long time and it served me well. i finally upgraded because the iOS was outdated and the phone had water damage and it was cheaper/more practical to get a newer model. now, the iOS is again becoming outdated on my SE and i don't want to update because i think it will affect how it runs, but if i don't update, i eventually won't be able to use the apps i want to use, so on and so forth into the catch-22 that is apple and their short hardware shelf-life due to the short software shelf life.
i would also like a better camera, but otherwise i love my little phone. the size is right and it's easy to use - i don't ask for or need a lot when it comes to a smartphone which is why i went with the iphone in the first place way back when. also not looking forward to having to pay ridiculous amounts of money for a phone. i miss when i could just walk into verizon and ask which phones were available for free with my upgrade. sigh…
With 6 people in our house, each with 2+ devices (watches to tablets to phones) we have:
USB Ports in the wall outlets in 3 locations
A drawer dedicated to USB cords and single cell battery packs
Hi speed car chargers (all Android here) in all cars
Cords on nightstands for nightly charging
Purses have backup batteries (multi-cell) in them
Remote charger on my night remain, around my work area at work, and remote charging mount in the vehicle. Each of those is really fueled by wires.

Kentucky's Republican Gov. Matt Bevin made headlines after revealing he purposely exposed his nine children to chickenpox during an interview with Bowling Green radio station WKCT on Tuesday.
"Every single one of my kids had the chickenpox. They got the chickenpox on purpose because we found a neighbor that had it and I went and made sure every one of my kids was exposed to it, and they got it. They had it as children," Bevin said in the interview.
"Why are we forcing kids to get it?" he continued. "If you are worried about your child getting chickenpox or whatever else, vaccinate your child. … And in many instances, those vaccinations make great sense. But for some people, and for some parents, for some reason they choose otherwise."
The governor addressed his stance on vaccinations as his home state of Kentucky is in the midst of a controversy about students being banned from school for being unvaccinated.
Click the screenshot below to read more about a Kentucky high schooler's battle for religious freedom:
Governor Bevin and his wife, Glenna, have nine children, four of whom are adopted.
Despite the fact that most people alive today were naturally exposed to chickenpox as children, the establishment is pushing vaccination as a safer alternative while condemning those who choose not to.
Addressing parents who opt-out of the chickenpox vaccine, Dr. Robert Jacobson, a Mayo Clinic pediatrician, said, "I would never recommend or advise it. It's just dangerous."
Left-wing media outlets like Salon are criticizing the governor's comments, saying he's "setting a dangerous precedent."
According to the CDC website, "chickenpox can be serious and can lead to severe complications and death, even in healthy children."
Less than 100 people die from chickenpox every year in the United States, however, the number of vaccine-related deaths is unknown.
What is known is that a secret federal vaccine court has paid billions of dollars to victims of vaccine injuries.
Even Salon, the same leftist publication now pushing for mandated vaccinations, admitted just months ago that over 6,000 injury and death claims have been compensated since 1989.
The vaccination debate is heating up and Governor Bevin's stance against forced vaccinations is sure to infuriate authoritarians who wish for them to be made mandatory.
Follow the author on Twitter: @Kelenmcbreen
It has become abundantly clear to anyone questioning the science and statistics generated by the vaccine industry that they will be silenced by the Gods of Silicon Valley.
A logical adult conversation about the pros and cons of vaccines is no longer an option.
Authoritarian disregard that roughly 4 billion dollars has been quietly doled out from vaccine-related injuries according to the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.

All That Remains Overcome
Published Sep 22, 2008The term "metalcore gets thrown around too easily these days and after listening to All That Remains, its clear why this is a confusing genre tag, as Overcome could be a part of it but feels more like melodic death metal. The bands fourth release, Overcome, is akin to The Fall Of Ideas in overall sound; it somehow has more double bass, guitar solos and hooks but never turns into a breakdown-heavy album. Overcome is an endless assault of guitar riffs on every track, whether they are angular, ascending duels or harmonic overtones guitarists Mike Martin and Oli Herbert are the most distinctive factor of ATRs sound. If you want to hear what these two fret board terrorists have been unleashing, "Undone is one of the best tracks this album has to offer. Overcome can be reminiscent of other bands at times, specifically during the beginning of "Chiron, which sounds a little too close to older Avenged Sevenfold but thankfully, its not too long a riff. Fans of ATR will be stoked over this release and Overcome should catch the attention of music lovers looking for a toned down technical version of Dragon Force, minus the 80s cheese vocals.
