Random information on the term "ASP":
The ASP is a custom made handgun designed and built by Paris Theodore (owner of Seventrees, Ltd., a custom gun leather shop in New York City) from the early 1970s to 1987. The ASP was based on the Smith & Wesson Model 39 pistol. The ASP featured clear Lexan grips allowing the shooter to see how much ammunition is left, a rounded hammer, hooked triggerguard and no front sight. The ASP was responsible for later innovations made in the development of concealable handguns.
The ASP was a reworked Smith & Wesson Model 39 or 39-2, employing a shortened slide; a fixed bushing (in lieu of the Smith & Wesson designed collet bushing); the unique Guttersnipe sight system; clear Lexan grip-panels; a fully ramped and throated, shortened barrel; and a smoothed and radiused profile to ensure no risk of snagging on the draw.
The fixed bushing was tightly fitted to the shortened barrel and dry-lubricated by Teflon-S, which was applied to all components of the pistol, with the exception of the clear Lexan grip panels. This coating is somewhat more durable than the more typical Teflon formulations used in cooking appliances and utensils. The unique sighting system, referred to as the "Guttersnipe", was a narrowing U-channel with fluorescent yellow panels that would form three triangles, all pointed at the target when the sight was properly aligned.

How US Farm Bill Makes CBD Legal
Since the CBD is on everyone's lips (at least of almost everyone in the US) let's review what is the CBD? What does it do to your body? And US Farm Bill?
We are on the verge of a CBD explosion. It is estimated that the US market for CBD products will have a value of $ 2.1 billion by 2020; the World Anti-Doping Agency eliminated the CBD from its list of banned substances; The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the first time approved a drug for epilepsy that contained CBD oil, prompting the US Drug Enforcement Administration to change its position about the CBD.
You can rub the CBD oil on your skin or drop a drop under your tongue; you can eat it as a sugary gummy or drink it as a cocktail.
There is evidence (some scientists quite anecdotal) that it helps with epileptic seizures, opioid addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder, arthritis, anxiety, insomnia, nausea, chronic pain and much more. If you believe in exaggeration, CBD can do almost anything for your physical and mental health, and it will not give you a rush like a comet.
What is CBD?
The cannabis plant contains more than 100 different chemical compounds known as cannabinoids, which interact with the endocannabinoid system of the body. Researchers are still working to understand.
One of those cannabinoids is CBD, or cannabidiol. CBD is not psychoactive, which means it will not make you "drugged," and there is growing evidence that it has several health benefits.
What are the Benefits?
CBD helps treat a variety of diseases. People are using CBD made oils, gummies, and other foods and beverages relax themselves for pain. Sports players are now using CBD to control pain, headaches, and insomnia. Some use skin products with made using CBD as anti-aging.
Scientific evidence states that the CBD also has legitimate medical benefits. Experts have already indicated the anti-anxiety and anti-inflammatory properties of CBD.
CBD also helps to cure stress disorder and alcohol use disorder.
According to the National Institute of Health, CBD is also effective in treating side effects related to cancer.
Is CBD Legal? Where is CBD Oil Legal?
The CBD is gaining more and more followers and has already become the most revolutionary cannabinoids in countries like Switzerland, Italy or the United States.
A long time ago, the great country of North America, the United States, was in love with industrial hemp. We all know that, in addition to the candles of Christopher Columbus, the American flag and the papers with which he declared his independence were made with hemp fiber.
It is said that even founding fathers George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp on their land.
"If we go back to the 1940s, the United States was a very large producer of hemp," Isaac Campos, a drug expert at the University of Cincinnati, told the BBC. "
It was more profitable than corn and soy," he added. Even during the Second World War it was so important to the military that farmers who cultivated it and their children were exempt from military service.
However, everything comes to end, when Reagan unleashed the failed war on drugs.
New winds are blowing in the world power, especially after states like Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington have supported their legal cultivation.
According to New Frontier Data, a cannabis market research firm, "Federal legalization could triple the global hemp market to 2.5 billion dollars by 2022, with 1.3 billion of those sales in hemp-derived CBD products."
The 2018 Farm Bill
The US $ 867 billion farm bill, signed by the president, would eliminate industrial hemp from a list of substances under federal control; an important step to marijuana grows in the US.
That would create a legal market for the CBD that could reach a value of more than US $ 20 billion by 2022, according to research firm Brightfield Group.
"This bill is very important because there will be a domino effect. That is, banks can now get involved, and if the banks get involved, the credit card companies can get involved, and if that happens, the big retailers will want part of that market like Target and Wal-Mart, "Sean explained. Murphy, New Frontier analyst who has researched that sector since 2015.
With this farm bill, Growers can buy insurance policies for their crops, apply for subsidies and loans, and deduct their tax expenses, like any other farmer.
"The passage of the Farm Bill is good news because it provides a strong safety net for farmers and ranchers, who need the dependability and certainty this legislation affords," Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue
In addition, they can transport their products from one state to another without fear of arrest, as long as they do not violate the guidelines of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Cryptocurrency Mining Basics
Updated April 19, 2020
Mining involves confirming blocks of transactions such that the block can be added to the blockchain. In exchange, miners can earn all or a portion of the transaction fee and a "reward." The amount earned depends on how the mining is performed.
You can mine using your own hardware alone (referred to as "solo mining") or in combination with others also using their own mining rigs (referred to as "pool mining"). Cloud mining, however, involves using the hardware of another person or organization to mine.
The most common types of hardware used to mine are graphics cards (aka "video cards" and often referred to by the main integrated circuit in the graphics card – a graphics processing unit or GPU) and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). ASICs are more akin to central processing units (CPUs) in computer systems which are more efficient at performing serial operations, while GPUs are more efficient at performing operations in parallel. Most graphics cards also have ample and fast memory, whereas ASICs do not. These differences between GPUs and ASICs are typically exploited by the creators of the hash algorithms used by cryptocurrencies to make it more difficult to mine cryptocurrency using ASICs. This in theory will reduce mining power consolidation or mining centralization by helping smaller miners with personal computers (PCs) compete with larger miners and centralized mining pools (having access to many computer systems), thereby helping to keep the cryptocurrency networks more decentralized. That said, some of the cryptocurrencies using older hash algorithms are mineable using ASICs.
So how should I mine? Should I mine at all? Which cryptocurrency should I mine? Rather than just throw out answers, let's explore some considerations so that you can decide which option is right for you.
GPU mining
GPU mining requires that you build a computer system (e.g., setup the hardware, install the operating system, etc.). It also requires that you maintain the computer system which can involve dealing with hardware failures, overheating, software issues, and other issues. Remember that this is not a general-use or even gaming system which may be pushed hard for relatively short periods of time, but instead, this is a system designed to run 24/7 at full clip. These systems produce a lot of heat, consume a lot of energy, and can be noisy depending on how you cool them. You must also monitor and track energy usage since this affects profitability.
GPU mining can be performed solo or in a pool. See our Solo Mining Vs. Pool Mining page for more information.
Therefore, GPU mining is not for everyone. If you decide that it is not your cup of tea, cloud mining and ASIC mining (solo or in a pool) are still options.
ASIC mining
ASIC mining rigs come preassembled and are relatively easy to setup. Videos like this or this show how to setup the hardware and software.
However, similar to GPU mining, ASIC mining rigs are noisy and produce a fair amount of heat. Some compare their noise level to that of a vacuum cleaner.
Similar to GPU mining, ASIC mining rigs can be used for solo mining or pool mining. See our Solo Mining Vs. Pool Mining page for more information.
If you aren't comfortable with this or don't want to ASIC mine for whatever reason, then cloud mining is your only option (assuming you have decided against GPU mining).
Cloud mining
Cloud mining is very easy to get into – just sign up and start paying for the service. There are several providers out there that offer cloud mining. Below is a list of the more common ones.
We suggest that you carefully research the cloud mining provider before purchasing. Each provider offers a different set of mineable cryptocurrencies, features, and plans and pricing.
Cloud mining offers several advantages over solo mining and pool mining. It offers higher convenience and lower upfront costs as there is no mining rig to setup and maintain. Energy usage and costs are also not concerns when cloud mining.
However, the downside is that cloud mining is typically less profitable than solo or cloud mining. The cloud mining providers take a cut for their service and have to pay for the mining rigs. And although some report higher earnings using cloud mining, this is likely due to sub-optimal solo or pool mining.
Which cryptocurrency should I mine?
This is a difficult question to answer. Below are some considerations.
Most people choose to mine the most profitable cryptocurrency. See our Most Profitable Cryptocurrency page for more information.
Suitability of existing hardware
Your existing mining rig may limit your options. You are likely familiar with the cryptocurrencies that can be mined using your rig. If not, we suggest you start by visiting our Most Profitable Cryptocurrency page and the CCPlug.com Mining GPU Selector for GPU mining rigs.
Decision to perform a specific type of mining
Not all cryptocurrencies are suitable for all types of mining. You will need to determine which cryptocurrencies are compatible with your selected mining type(s).
Decision to support a specific cryptocurrency
Some people want to support a certain cryptocurrency for ideological or other reasons. So you may decide to mine a cryptocurrency even though it is not the most profitable.

Please kill Mr Know It All is a 90 minute comedy that I borrowed from our local library this week. I think it is an indie film. It was unrated but I would probably place it about pg-13; it was not nearly as graphic or violent as I anticipated, and much funnier.
The story begins with popular (and anonymous) advice columnist Sally aka "Mr. Know it All" going viral and becoming nationally syndicated. Due to the convoluted web of lies told by her business partner, she has to make up an image of the purportedly male author behind the column. She finds a face that she feels would match the column at a local movie theatre and she sketches him, and releases this to the industry, and then to the public. Unfortunately her muse (Albert) is an assassin for the mob, and not too keen on being recognized everywhere he goes. So Albert takes it into his head to kill Mr. Know It All and end the column so that he can fade back into obscurity. Albert doesn't count on his target being the cute, awkward, bubbly redhead that he is falling in love with.
Albert, played by Jefferson Brown, looks like a young Pierce Brosnan to me. He is so cute! I loved how he and Lara Jean Chorostecki represented their characters. Indie films like this can be very hit or miss and I think that this one is definitely a hit. Her nerdy awkwardness perfectly fits the character's habit of writing about life instead of experiencing it, and I think that Brown struck the right balance between the aloof, emotional killer and a bewildered guy falling for this girl who keeps appearing in his life.
The only thing I would have changed would be for Sally to struggle a little bit more with the knowledge that her "Mr. Right" intended to kill her. I mean, dude, talk about an emotional betrayal!
I highly recommend you check out this movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it and consider it the perfect length to watch one evening through the week, and still get into bed at a decent time to get up the next morning.

The system, called MasterCard PayPass, allows consumers with specially equipped credit cards to simply tap or wave their cards against a reader to make a payment, rather than having to swipe the card. If the value of the purchase is under a certain amount, the cardholder needn't sign a receipt.
The cards come embedded with hidden computer chips and radio antennae, which transmit payment details wirelessly. The cards can also be used with traditional magnetic stripe readers.
MasterCard isn't alone in its efforts to adopt high-tech credit cards. Visa is introducing its own smart-card payment system designed to make transactions easier and speedier.
MasterCard is testing the system with a handful of merchants in Orlando, Fla., the company said Thursday. They include Chevron, McDonald's, Loews Universal Cineplex, Wolf Camera and the City of Orlando's parking department.
The company has deals with credit-card issuers Chase Bank, Citibank and MBNA to offer the PayPass credit cards to as many as 20,000 consumers in the Orlando area.
Several hundred people are already using for PayPass cards, said Beth Horowitz, senior vice president of product services at MasterCard.
MasterCard hopes to introduce PayPass in other U.S. cities, as well as internationally, after the trial period ends in June, Horowitz said.
The PayPass system operates over MasterCard's existing transaction network, so the company didn't need to make major infrastructure investments to get the system running. Merchants, however, do need to buy new reader equipment, costing less than $200 per unit, Horowitz said.
Potential benefits to merchants, namely processing customers more quickly and increasing average transaction amounts, should outweigh the costs, Horowitz said.
MasterCard hopes Pay Pass will increase the use of its cards and boost the number of payments the company processes, Horowitz added.
"In the last five to 10 years, our role has been to open up card use in new environments," said Horowitz. "We want things on MasterCard cards, not on cash. We?d like to eliminate cash and checks and replace them with payment cards."
The use of embedded computer chips in credit cards is an emerging trend that has taken hold faster in Europe than in the United States. Ten percent of MasterCard credit cards, about 126 million cards, have chips embedded in them, according to Horowitz. Ninety percent of its chip cards are issued in Europe, she said.
The chips allow information, such as account balance and cardholder authentication data, to be stored on the cards as part of programs to reward shopper loyalty and reduce fraud.
MasterCard worked with Infineon, Samsung and Philips Semiconductor to develop and manufacture the PayPass chips. It worked with Panasonic, VeriFone and others to develop the card readers.

U.S. Government Holding Fewer Immigrants
On Monday, April 6, 2015, our very own Matthew G. Holt, Esq., current Chairman of the American Immigration Lawyers Association San Diego Chapter, spoke to inewsource's Joanne Faryon on the decrease in detention of immigrants.
The number of immigrants being held in detention centers across the U.S. is the lowest it's been in nearly a decade, possibly signaling a change in a federal mandate called a "bed quota."
Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centers range from stand alone prison-type facilities to county jails. They hold non-American citizens who are facing deportation for various reasons, including committing a crime or being in the country illegally.
Some members of Congress and high-ranking officials in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security have insisted a line in a federal law mandating 34,000 detention beds across the country is actually a quota — requiring ICE to lock up a daily average of 34,000 people.

Book Review – Gideon's Sword by Preston & Child
Gideon Crew's life was changed when his father was killed. When he finds out why, he devotes his life to clearing his father's name and avenging his death. This brings him to the attention of a certain U.S. Government contractor who has another mission for him.
To avoid spoilers, suffice it to say that this is a spy versus spy type adventure with larger than life characters so be ready to suspend disbelief for the sake of the story. Some aspects are predictable but there are plenty of surprises as well. What I like most about this book is the hopeful undertone. There are plenty of shady characters but it treats them as exceptions rather than as typical examples of humanity and there are plenty of truly likeable minor characters, some of whom actually survive to the end of the story. There is also the promise of a technological breakthrough that will change the world for the better.
The combination of likeable characters, an interesting plot, exciting adventure, and a hopeful mood make this a very enjoyable book. I recommend it.

Search For A National Alternative!
Paralysis in the present government has led to the search for a new government or system that can deliver. There are three current attempts that invite attention. First, there is the government itself. There are moves to revamp it in order to revitalize it. But the induction of Mr Rahul Gandhi in the cabinet and the elevation of the younger crop of leaders devoted to him do not offer much hope of delivering desired results. There are also muted whispers of a grand political realignment to create a new stable alliance to govern the country till the 2014 general election. However, beyond whispers of longing in a few circles of the Congress and BJP nothing more is heard or is likely to be heard about such realignment. The absence of political courage to dare and take risks renders this option too remote for serious consideration.
Next, there is the Ramdev movement. That has made some headway. Focused on the single issue of recovering illegal money deposited in foreign banks it has been seized upon by an array of opposition parties that support it. This movement might succeed as a catalyst to unite the opposition before the next poll. If it succeeds once more a national coalition will arise to seize power at the next election. It will be repetition of an experiment that has been witnessed by the nation in the past. It might change the government but will not change the system or the quality of governance. The criticism against political corruption is being voiced by opposition parties that have a track record of corruption no different from that of the Congress. On present reckoning therefore this endeavor offers no real hope of substantive change that the nation seeks.
Finally, there is the announcement of Team Anna to form a new national political party scheduled to be launched in early October this year. This is the most ambitious of all three attempts. It is also the most daunting. Even before eminent citizens urged the Anna Hazare movement to enter electoral politics I had been from the very start advocating this as the only honest and practical approach. I considered it absurd for anti-corruption crusaders to petition those responsible for creating corruption to remove it. In the effort to create a new party the attitude of Mr Anna Hazare himself remains ambiguous. But in practical terms that is of little significance. Mr Hazare became a brand without any real product to sell. It will be up to members of Team Anna to forge a new party. What are their prospects? Are they not jumping the gun by deciding to launch it in October to test waters in the Delhi assembly polls thereafter? If their aim is to create just another party among the 50 to 100 that already exist, it is okay. But if they seek a genuine national alternative, they need to think more carefully.
Never since Independence has a new national party been created from the grassroots that has survived. All the existing parties are splinter groups of earlier established parties. Some parties are based upon caste or community constituencies and are therefore too limited to aspire for national relevance. The Congress party evolved from the freedom struggle. The BJP had a readymade constituency created by a pre-Independence RSS movement. The Communist parties were created before Independence . The Janata Party came closest to becoming a genuine national alternative. But it arose more from the follies of Indira Gandhi than from the exertions of its leaders. And circumstances compelled its creation before the requisite clarity about an alternative agenda or a stable grass root organizational structure could be achieved. Worst of all, its top leaders were former Congressmen who lacked empathy with the grass root workers who had struggled in opposition all their careers. It failed to become a real alternative and it deservedly lost power.
I can think of only two efforts to create a new national party from the grass root. One was the Swatantra party founded by C. Rajagopalachari and Minoo Masani which ended in disappointment. The other attempt was the Ekta Party founded by this writer which started and ended as a huge joke. The Swatantra party had an alternative vision and deserved to succeed. It failed because its leaders did not articulate its ideology successfully to the masses and instead sought a quick-fix solution by co-opting princes and big landlords who had existing followings. The party did anticipate economic reforms that would have been more effective at that time. Some negative attendant byproducts of globalization that alienate public opinion today were absent then. But its leaders never tried or succeeded in convincing the masses of the benefits that would accrue to them. It was a political failure. It acted like a rich man's party.
The Ekta Party was an insane quixotic effort. It was funded from the earnings of a single journalist and relied on doles from sympathetic business friends whenever a demonstration required Rs. 10, 000 or so for hiring buses to transport workers. The enterprise was understandably ridiculed by friends and ignored by the media. However the experience taught some truths that may not have been experienced by most stalwarts of existing big parties. In existing big parties leaders have simply to climb the ladder for progress. They interact with workers who are familiar with what the party stands for and who leads it. I doubt if any leaders of big existing parties or splinter group parties have ever had occasion to approach local residents of a village or an urban colony and establish a primary unit of an unknown new party without identity or media recognition. But the success in creating primary units across the nation for new entrants must be accomplished for creating the organizational structure of a genuine national alternative. There are a few truths from the experience of the Ekta Party that one would like to share for whatever these are worth.
First, without media support there is little hope. Apart from creating happenings that cannot be ignored by media there is also need for effective media management. When I was General Secretary of the Janata Party in charge of campaign publicity in the general election of 1977 there was a wave. I had virtually to do little. In the Ekta Party my biggest mass mobilization occurred when according to the police report 10, 000 demonstrators marched from Delhi Gate to India Gate and courted arrest. We deliberately chose the route that passed all the offices of national newspapers. I was claiming that there were 6000 marchers. In fact there were only 4, 500. Crowds always appear larger than they actually are. The day after the demonstration all the papers ignored the event except one daily which published a very small paragraph tucked away in an inside page that reported the police version. The cause promoted by the demonstration related to the urban poor. Even after conceding that thousands had courted arrest the event did not merit the paper's attention. Earlier when Sanjay Gandhi courted arrest with 150 workers in Connaught Place it was the first lead in papers with his photo altercating with the police splashed across page one. That is the reality of celebrity status, of media perception and about truth. Secondly, without middle class support there can be no success in democratic systems. I managed a loyal following among Jhuggi dwellers in Delhi . It proved to be of no avail. Several successful demonstrations were ignored by media. It is a myth that mass followings among villagers and urban poor exist without middle class support. In public opinion there is a trickle down effect, more so today than ever before thanks to TV. Thirdly, even dedicated workers from among the poor require financial support not because they are mercenaries but because they must compensate loss of earning in order to survive. The loyalty of key workers in the Ekta Party for the meager pittance paid to them testified to their commitment.
Team Anna of course has a huge advantage. It has a national identity, media attention and an easily understood goal of ending corruption that people support. However, it also has shortcomings that it must address for success. It has no agenda to end corruption or change the system of governance. The proposed Lokpal is a non-starter. There is nothing to differentiate members of Team Anna either by conduct or activity from leaders of other political parties. In other words the endeavor lacks up till now a concrete alternative agenda that promises change and is easily understood by common people. It may be presumptuous for a failure to offer advice to distinguished and successful people. But one does believe that before plunging into electoral politics or even registering a new party, Team Anna members should think deeply about an appropriate agenda. They should then launch a nationwide movement to propagate their agenda to create a new party. They should in the process create a nationwide organizational structure capable of contesting elections. And only after that should they enter the electoral arena. Today with mass communication and the Internet the entire exercise could be completed within one year. If the intention of Team Anna is to reform politics through a new party it may be rash and self defeating for it to jump into assembly elections and perform only as a spoiler of votes.

iOS 8.1.2 Review: Here's How It's Holding Up
Several weeks ago, Apple pushed out its iOS 8.1.2 update to the iPhone and iPad. iOS 8.1.2 is a small bug fix update that tackles at least one iOS 8 problem but has the potential to fix, and cause, more problems on iPhone and iPad. Today, we want to revisit iOS 8.1.2 and take a look at how it's performing on several different devices including the iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 and iPad Air.
Back in September, Apple's new iOS 8 update pushed out with new features and enhancements on board. And while iOS 8 brought a lot of good with it, iOS 8 problems started almost immediately for owners of the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. This is typical of a major iOS update but so are immediate bug fixes from Apple. So, it came as no surprise that iOS 8.0 was soon replaced by iOS 8.0.1.
Unfortunately, Apple's iOS 8.1.2 update did not produce the intended results. While it did deliver some fixes, it also broke cellular connectivity and Touch ID for some iPhone users. These issues forced Apple to go back to the drawing board and quickly release an iOS 8.0.2 update that tackled those problems and delivered the rest of the fixes to those that did not move to iOS 8.0.1.
iOS 8.0.2 did not fix everything. Complaints about iOS 8 have continued well past its release and over the past couple of months, Apple's worked hard to squash the remaining iOS 8 problems.
First, the company pushed out a massive iOS 8.1 bug fixer. The company then followed that up with an iOS 8.1.1 update that, unlike most smaller updates, went through the beta program. Then, a little more than three weeks ago, Apple pushed out iOS 8.1.2, a small bug fixer aimed at countering a problem with iTunes ring tones.
We continue to get bombarded with questions about iOS 8.1.2's stability and questions about whether or not its worth installing. People still want feedback and many others want to know if it's worth the risk. We've spent a ton of time with the iOS 8.1.2 update on a number of devices over the past month or so and today, we want to relay feedback for several different devices.
iOS 8.1.2 Review: How It's Holding Up
Before we get into our latest review of iOS 8.1.2, it's important to note that mileage is going to vary from device to device, user to user. We probably don't have the same apps on board and we may use our devices a little bit differently. So consider these short reviews general guides and general feedback about Apple's current iOS update. We encourage you to seek out more feedback from other sites and other iPhone and iPad users.
iPhone 6
For three weeks, the iOS 8.1.2 update was running flawlessly on several of our iPhone 6 models. A few days ago, we once again started noticing an issue that popped up immediately after the iPhone 6 release back in September. Yes, the landscape issues are back. On multiple devices.
We've outlined this problem numerous times in the past and it's an issue that's affected many iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users around the world. It's also a problem that seems to go away in the days, and weeks, after an iOS release only to return with a vengeance a few weeks later. It's extremely annoying, especially because it occurs when using core apps like Google Hangouts and Messages.
Other than those landscape issues, the iOS 8.1.2 update is performing quite well on the iPhone 6. Battery life is solid, so is connectivity. Our most recent review of iOS 8.1.2 will fill you iPhone 6 users in on all of the details but just know that this update is extremely solid minus the landscape problems that Apple can't seem to fix.
iPhone 6 Plus
Oddly enough, we aren't seeing the landscape issues on the iPhone 6 Plus. We say odd because the issues used to be far more prominent on the larger iPhone 6 model. We have seen an odd issue where the iPhone 6 Plus displays a notice about a non-compatible device being plugged in and we suspect that it might be a Lightning port problem. It's isolated and sporadic.
Over the past month or so, the iOS 8.1.2 update has performed admirably on the larger iPhone 6 Plus. Battery life remains very stable. So do connectivity, app experience. The iPhone 6 Plus is also extremely fast. We haven't noticed any major bugs on any of our iPhone 6 Plus models and as we noted, there's really only one weird bug that we've run into.
Keep in mind, while we've done a ton of digging, smaller bugs are often isolated and hard to find. So while we may not be experiencing any issues, it doesn't mean that iOS 8.1.2 is bug free. It just means that the software is extremely stable on our iPhone 6 Plus variants.
iPhone 5s
The iOS 8 update was the iPhone 5s' first major update and thus, an extremely important one for users who have bought into Apple's former flagship. With another year or so to go before coming off contract, stability is vital.
So far, so good. The iPhone 5s is still fast. It still is in possession of fantastic battery life. We haven't run into any Wi-Fi, LTE or Bluetooth problems. And we haven't discovered any killer bugs. That's precisely what you want from an incremental bug fix update like iOS 8.1.2. It's extremely solid.
iPhone 5
iOS 8.1.2 hasn't killed the iPhone 5's battery life. It hasn't introduced any debilitating bugs. It hasn't disrupted connectivity. It hasn't broken down the app experience on the now two year old smartphone. And yet, it's a difficult update to recommend.
We're still running into speed issues with iOS 8.1.2 a month into its life. The interface is still clunky and slow and transitions and animations simply haven't delivered the speeds we grew accustomed to after iOS 8.0's arrival and more importantly, with iOS 7.1.2 on board. The drop in performance isn't too surprising given the device's age but it's disappointing nonetheless.
This makes the iOS 8.1.2 iPhone 5 update the toughest sell of them all. There's no telling how the update will affect your device. It's possible that it will have a positive effect but it's also possible that it will deliver the same speed issues that we've been seeing since iOS 8.1's arrival. At this point, you're probably better off waiting. Read our full review for more.
iPad Air
Not much to say here. The iOS 8.1.2 update's performance on the iPad Air (first-gen) has been excellent across the board. If you're having problems on iOS 8.1.1 or below, you'd be wise to make the move. It's an extremely stable update and we have yet to detect any major issues. If you need more information, take a look at our full review.
iPad mini 2
Same goes for the iPad mini 2. iOS 8.1.2 is holding up nicely a month into its life and it's an update that we recommend to those dealing with iOS 8 problems. If you're still sitting on iOS 7, now might be the time to make your move.
This is a very stable update and iOS 8 delivers a number of improvements for the iPad. For more information, you can check out our full review.
iPad 3
We've also been using the iOS 8.1.2 update on the iPad 3. And it, like the iPad mini and iPad Air iOs 8.1.2 updates, has been nothing short of stellar. Battery life, connectivity, speed, everything. iOS 8.1.2 is treating the iPad 3 very well. Well, at least our iPad 3. Again, it's an update that isn't necessary but it's one that we recommend if you're dealing with issues.
iOS 8.1.2: What You Need to Know
At this point, the iPhone 5's update is the only one that we can't recommend outright. The software is performing well on all of our other iPhones and iPads, at least for the moment. A few things to keep in mind:
- You do not need to install the update. In fact, it's probably only worth it to those of you that are experiencing issues on iOS 8.1.1 and below.
- iOS 8.2 is on the way. It should arrive in a few weeks. If you're unsure about iOS 8.1.2, you can consider waiting.
- iOS 8.1.3 could arrive sometime soon as well. Same deal. If you don't need to make a move, wait for a larger update and perhaps more important update to arrive.
- Finally, you always are going to assume some risk when you download and install an iOS update. It's a fact of life. While iOS 8.1.2 is mostly stable for us, there are definitely people having iOS 8.1.2 problems.

Jeff's Takeaways from GPLEX 2018
My key takeaways from GPLEX 2018: Seattle has incredible wealth and a political system and culture that are conducive to collaborating to solve big challenges. Because Seattle raises revenue primarily by special levies on property, which must be approved at the ballot box, policymakers must present coherent value propositions to the electorate. The "Seattle process" involves inclusive, consensus-based decision-making, leading to maximum buy-in for tough policy choices. And Seattle's innovative approach to philanthropy encourages failing forward, risk-taking, and innovation.
Seattle's problem-solving political and philanthropic culture are fortuitous, since the city faces some vexing issues, such as acute gentrification and an affordable housing crisis; transit infrastructure that is inadequate to the task of getting workers from where they can afford to live to their jobs; yawning inequality, especially along racial and ethnic lines; and a massive homelessness problem.
Yet Seattle has mobilized the political will to tackle big issues like achieving consenseus among business and labor around a $15 minimum wage and persuading 56% of the voters in 3 counties to raise $54 billion in taxes on themselves for transit funding. I left feeling like it would apply its can-do, engineering mentality to its housing and homelessness crises and closing its opportunity gaps.
During one of our closing sessions, an Innovation Exchange between Solynn McCurdy of Seattle's Social Venture Partners and our United Way CEO Bill Golderer, the latter provided a statistical rendering of the "Philly shrug" in our region's low rates of philanthropic giving, volunteerism, and voter participation.
At the Economy League, we are ready to get beyond the shrug, beyond "Nega-delphia," and build on our region's considerable assets, like our great eds-and-meds institutions, robust transit infrastructure, cultural diversity, relative affordability, emerging tech sector, burgeoning hospitality sector, vibrant downtown.
Our cohort of nearly 1,000 emerging and established leaders assembled by the Economy League through GPLEX cuts across all of these sectors, and in the coming months we will be seeking interested partners to tackle our toughest problems and build economic prosperity for all. Our leaders are ready to go.
It's time to work together, like Seattle does, to develop a pragmatic center that can find points of common ground and leverage our assets. We need business, labor, philanthropy, and the social sector to build "a Philly process."

Subject: Principles of Accounting
Materials are kept in stores so that the storekeeper may issue them whenever the production department requires these. A storekeeper cannot issue materials unless a properly authorized material requisition is presented to him.
A material requisition is the most important document of an authority to the storekeeper to issue the materials. It is a normal request written in a paper from production department to store department. It is signed by the authorized person so that there may be no wrong drawl of materials.
It is prepared in triplicate. Two copies are sent to the store and one copy is sent to costing department which includes date, requisition number, description of materials, quantity, unit price, total value, etc.
The perpetual inventory system is the way of maintaining the record of inventory which can be hand ascertained at any time. It emphasizes and maintains the up-to-date record and day to day checking of stocks. It is a method of recording inventory after every receipt and issue to facilitate regular checking and obviate the stocktaking.
It is also known as "Automatic Inventory System". A perpetual inventory system is a technical kind of job on where controlling stock items and maintaining store records in such a manner that stock balances at any point of time are readily available. The term "perpetual inventory" means the system of record keeping and a continuous physical verification of the stocks, with reference and store record.
It gives the perfect and accurate stock control as we can easily check out and verify the level and position of stock lying in the store at any moment by physical counting. Here are the definition of perpetual inventory system is given below:
"A system of records maintain by the controlling department, which reflects the physical movement of stock and their current balance" Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), London,
"It is a method of recording stores balance after every receipt and issue, to facilitate regular checking and to obviate closing down for stock-taking." Mr.Weldon,
Perpetual inventory system helps to ascertain the balance of each and every stock of the company in terms of physical quantity as well as it's monetary value held in store at all time. For this, a company may maintain bin card, in which it separate receipt and issue of materials and balance of stock are recorded privately in store.
The main advantages of Perpetual Inventory System
When materials are purchased for a specific product, it's cost of materials received is wholly debited to that product. There would be no problem in costing materials issued and in inventory valuation if all purchase were made at the same price, but purchase made at a different time usually carries a different price and the stores ledger which is not shown in one but has several prices for the same kind of materials. Several methods are used in concerning the pricing of materials issued from the store. Here are the important methods of pricing material issued under perpetual inventory system.
Note: As per new course of study of HSEB, SAM method is not included, so it is not explained.
According to this method, materials received first are issued first. After the first lot of materials purchase is exhausted, the next lot is taken up for supply. The units that are from the opening stock of materials that should be treated as if they are issued first, the units from the first purchase issue next, and so on until the units which are left in the stock of materials that should be valued at the latest cost of purchases.
Advantages of FIFO Method
Disadvantages of FIFO Method
1. It is simple to understand and easy to use.
1. It is unsuitable in the case of price is rising.
2. It is applicable when the price is falling.
2. It is complex if many lots are purchased during the period at different prices.
3. It is useful in case of less transaction and price of materials are fixed.
3. This method increases the chances of clerical error.
4. It is logical because first received goods are first issued.
4. It is very hard to determine the value of the returned item.
The purchase and issues of material 'X' in the month of Baishak, 2071 are as follows:
Baishak 1 Opening balance 500 units@ Rs.10
Baishak 5 Purchase 1000 units @ Rs.11
Baishak 8 Issued 400 units
Baishak 10 Issued 800 units
Baishak 12 Purchase 1500 units @ Rs. 12
Baishak 15 Issued 1200 units
Baishak 20 Purchase 800 units @ Rs. 11
As the name LIFO, the use of inventory is valued on the basis of the opposite sequence of receipts. The LIFO method of costing deals with the principle that materials entering production are the part of the most recent purchase. It is assumed that the most initial cost, normally replacement cost is the most significant in matching cost with revenue in income determination.
Under this method, the cost of the last materials received is used to price material issued until the lot is finished, then the next lot pricing is used, and so on through coming lot.
The closing stock is priced at the oldest prices.
Advantages of LIFO Method
Disadvantages of LIFO Method
1. This method is simple.
1. This method is practically not better.
2. This method is applicable in case of a rise in market price also.
2. In a case of a price of material is decreasing, it is not applicable.
3. The valuation of stock has no role in profit or loss.
3. For determining the price, more than one price has often to be adopted.
4. In the case of rising price, this method is move suitable.
4. This method can lead to clerical error because every time price has been changed.
At the beginning of October, a company had 10000 units @ Rs.2 per unit. Further purchase were made during the month as follows:
4th October 2000 units @ Rs.2.50 per unit
10th October 5000 units @ Rs.3 per unit
20th October 10000 units @ Rs.3.50 per unit
Issues to work place were as follows:
12th October 16000 units
28th October 10000 units
Common Terms used in Pricing of Material Issued:
1. Return to store
1. Return from store
2. Return from work order
2. Return to work order
3. Return from department
3. Return to work customer
4. Return from customer/debtors
4. Return to suppliers
5. Return from vendor
5. Return to vendor
6. Surplus
6. Shortage/loss/wastages

Happy Friday everyone! I know a lot of people work on the weekend and this girl is included. But I had to pop on and let everyone know that I am alive and well. But most of all the blog will now proceed as I have wanted it to. That is because I am finally moved in and for the most part finished unpacking!
The house for the most part is unpacked and I am settling into a much needed work/freelance/writing/life routine. I am not going to lie these last few weeks have been quite difficult between the move, settling in and the pending divorce. However, I am learning to deal with and overcome what has been thrown at me. I will be adding a lot of new content to all sections of the blog in the coming weeks and am excited with what the future holds. I appreciate the kind emails and messages from all the amazing people who read the blog and visit the social media pages.
Blessings and Love,

Depressant is a kind of drug that affects the central nervous system by slowing down its activity. In moderate doses, they make people relaxed and somewhat sleepy, reduce concentration, and impair thinking and motor skills. An induced stupor happens when this substance is used in heavy dosage. Benzodiazepines and barbiturates are examples of depressants. Benzodiazepine and barbiturate users initially may feel euphoric and become disinhibited but then experience depressed moods, lethargy, perceptual distortions, loss of coordination, and other signs of central nervous system depression.
The manufacturing and selling of benzodiazepines (such as Xanax, Valium, Halcion, Librium, and Klonopin) and barbiturates such as Quaalude) are actually legal because the are able to treat problems such as anxiety and insomnia. In the United States, approximately 90 percent of people hospitalized for medical care or surgery are prescribed sedatives. Large quantities of these substances end up in the illegal black market, however. These substances are especially likely to be taken in combination with other psychoactive substances to produce greater feelings of euphoria or to relieve the agitation created by other substances.
There are two common patterns in the development of benzodiazepine or barbiturate abuse and dependence. The most common pattern is followed by a teenager or young adult who begins using these substances recreationally, frequently at "bring your own drug" parties, to generate a sense of well-being or euphoria; their use then rises up to chronic use and physiological dependence. This pattern is especially likely among persons who already have other substance abuse problems with alcohol, opioids, cocaine, amphetamines, or other substances.
People particularly women and older people that uses sedatives under physicians' care for anxiety or insomnia but then gradually increase their use as tolerance develops happens to be the second pattern on the development of addiction to depressants. They may get prescriptions from several physicians or even photocopy their prescriptions. When confronted about their sedative use and dependency, they may deny that they use the drugs to produce euphoria or that they are dependent on the sedatives.
A decrease in blood pressure, respiratory rate, and heart rate happens when one uses barbiturates and benzodiazepines . In overdose, they can be extremely dangerous and even fatal. Death can occur from respiratory arrest or cardiovascular collapse. When these substances (particularly benzodiazepines) are taken in combination with alcohol , overdose is likely to happen.
With the knowledge on the effects and how depressants work, it is best to not take them if unnecessary. By doing so, you will spare yourself from the harm that depressants bring especially if it is not prescribed. However, if you happen to know someone close to you who failed to stay away from these depressants, you should move quickly. You need to get them to go through a drug rehab. Drug rehab is the best solution on the bad effects of inappropriately using depressants.
People who are addicted to depressants are usually helped by drug rehab in a way of using different kinds of treatment. One of these is the use of cognitive treatments. Cognitive treatments help these individuals to clear out the individual's way of thinking that depressants will help them cope better in any hard situations. Specialists would then confront these ways of thinking and help these individuals to change their cognitive visions of depressants for the better. The fight against addiction to depressants usually results successfully when used with the different kind of drug rehab procedures. You need to contact the nearest drug rehab center in your place in order to help your endeavor for a better life without the presence of depressants. There is always a kind of treatment that would suit every individual and the best way to know about it is to be in contact with the nearest drug rehab center.
Drug rehab answers that dangers of getting addicted to depressants.

There were a lot of great moments from the 2011 Dallas Suscon, one of which was this suspension from the ihung.org crew. If I recall correctly, this is Drew from ihung, and he suspended pretty early on in the weekend. The dome he's in is ihung's portable suspension rigging, which can set up pretty much anywhere they want to suspend someone, without having to find a building or a tree.

w00t! Way to go Drew!
I think he looks Buddha-esque hanging there.

The Man from Ocado (it's Richard, in the Apple van in case you need to know) says he needs to see proof of my age to check that I am over 25 before he can deliver my bottles of Prosecco. What a smoothie!
"We do sell food, too," he jokes, and I find myself explaining how I am accumulating bottles of the sparkling stuff, week by week, in preparation for a forthcoming celebration. I don't tell him that the celebration is our Golden
Wedding in case he had me down for younger than I am. Though not, to be honest, under 25...
I wonder why I found it necessary to offer explanations anyway. It's a definite Sign of Weakness in my book, though
I am aware I am not the only person so afflicted.
It's the same with apologies, don't you know? A wise person advised me once never to apologise in advance before, for example, serving up a meal or embarking
on a presentation. The only one who knows, for certain, how things were supposed to turn out is Yours Truly. By drawing attention to slight - or even major - deficiencies in what is to come, it leaves absolutely no room for doubt.
I'm sure all the chefs who appear on TV have learnt this simple lesson. I bet you anything you like that there are times when they look at the sorry mess they are about to consign to the oven and thank their lucky stars that they have
invested in One They Prepared Earlier.
Apart from the arrival of Mr Ocado Man it's not been the most eventful of days. My greatest excitement was ordering ten bags of multi-purpose compost to be delivered
on Tuesday morning, for the filling of our vegetable trough. All we need to do now, I tell Mr B, is to agree what we should grow therein. "Vegetables?" he queries, poker faced. What a wit! Based on that, and similar performances, he could easily get a job
with Ocado and drive around in vans fancifully named after assorted fruit and vegetables.
Personally I hanker after carrots. This is because I have a fond memory of my dear Dad treating my Foursome, when they
were just littl'uns, with baby carrots lifted straight from his vegetable patch. Never did carrots - or a memory - taste so sweet. I like the idea of taking my own grandchildren out into the back garden and digging them up a carrot each from the vegetable
My own Grandad, when washing my hands before dinner, would make his hands all soapy then take each of my tiny mitts in turn between his big hands, enclosing my dirty paw completely as he tenderly bathed
it clean. As loving gestures between grandfather and grandchild go, it takes some beating. I have never felt more totally loved and protected than I did standing at the wash basin with my Grandad. I have tried to copy his actions but my grandchildren are obviously
rather more independent-minded than I was and are quick to tell me they can "do it myself!"
I suppose I have created, over the years, a few traditions by which my Truly Tremendous Ten may, or may not, remember
me when they reach my Great Age. A Giant Penguin on the doorstep. Ready, Jelly, Go traffic light jellies. Birthday banners and summer holiday songs. It's something of a strange list, I have to admit.
those memories linger as long and as sweetly, I wonder, as the taste of a freshly dug carrot or the enveloping comfort of my Grandad's hands?
I make no apologies for living in hope.
lovely and heartwarming - an inspiration to us all x
Love this story told as ever beautifully.x
What a super account of a special event. I loved meeting you last night and seeing your creation come together. I'm so pleased you got so much from the activity
I have broad shoulders x

Fabriq has a new Alexa-enabled wireless speaker and we had the chance to check it out. Find out what we thought about the Fabriq Chorus here!
Smart speakers are a dime a dozen these days. Every day, a new company seems to be coming out with a new speaker that packs in more features. Fabriq is the latest company to throw their hat in the ring with a new Alexa-enabled speaker called the Chorus. The question is: should you actually care about a new speaker from a manufacturer you've probably never heard of? The answer may surprise you.
- Audio: 65 – 18,000 Hz +/- 3dB 2 x 2″ Precision active drivers and a 2″ passive radiator. 8W of power.
- Dimensions: 3.15" x 3.15" x 6.3" (80 x 80 x 160mm)
- Weight: 540g
- Battery Life: Up to 6 hours, 7.4V (2200mAh Capacity)
- Compatibility: iOS & Android
- Connectivity: WI-FI: 802.11b/g/n – 2.4 GHz Bluetooth: v2.1 + EDR
The Fabriq Chorus is an alternative in every sense of the word. This speaker isn't just some chunk of metal that sticks out like a sore thumb on your tabletop. The speaker is coated with a fabric (I see what they did there…) with one of a few designs on it. My review unit is a nice shade of blue with an abstract looking design on it. It's a small touch that really gives this line of speakers an identity that goes unmatched.
The sound itself was quite good. The 8W speaker does a pretty good job of filling spaces both large and small with sound. It gets really loud which impressed me a lot because some of the other speakers I've tried out have been a bit on the quiet side even at high volume. The Fabriq Chorus does an adequate job even in a room full of talking people. The quality didn't deteriorate even at higher volumes in my testing, so that was a plus.
The quality of the audio itself is somewhat of a mixed bag. Some of the songs I listened to sounded amazing on the Chorus while others sounded as if certain instruments were non-existent or as though the music was muffled. The bass on the speaker isn't the best either so if you're hoping to thump along to some songs, you're probably not going to get that here. It did do a really good job with softer songs. I suspect that the fabric covering may make a bit of a difference in how the speaker sounds, but I'm just speculating there. I will also note that where you are in relation to the speaker made a big difference in the quality. The closer you are to the front the better it tended to be. It's not a multi-directional speaker so that's something to be expected. It still sounds good, but music buffs might be turned off by the little nuances.
The microphone in the speaker was really responsive and didn't have much of an issue hearing its awake word even if the room was full of sound. That's a big plus when time is of the essence and you want a quick weather update or something of the like. The Chorus also works with various streaming services like Spotify, TuneIn, and iHeart Radio to name a few. I was annoyed that I couldn't use my favourite equalizers in Spotify, though. The speaker doesn't come with any equalizers so how it sounds is how it sounds and there's no changing it in any way.
A big advantage that this speaker has over a lot of the other ones out there is that it contains a rechargeable battery inside that lasts up to 6 hours. This means you're not tethered to an outlet or a USB port if you'd like to listen to your music. The LED ring on the bottom of the speaker even turns red to let you know when the battery is low. The LED ring itself is pretty informative turning blue when using Bluetooth and white when using Alexa in addition to the red battery low indicator. It's a simple thing, but it helps out a lot.
At $99.99 USD, the Fabriq Chorus is a great choice for people looking to purchase a good wireless speaker or Alexa device at an affordable price. The speaker sounds good under most circumstances and it is loud enough to use reliably at parties and things of that nature. While Fabriq may not be the first name you think of when looking for a wireless speaker or Alexa device, the Chorus shows that they definitely deserve some consideration.

Please be praying with us for a follow-up event taking place this Saturday for the kids and youth that took part in the recent Grain Game 5-day Bible camp in Karcag. Gary is billing this event as the camp's "Day 6″…the fun and relationships will continue, with the focus still on Bible truths experienced through interactive, creative demonstrations. This event is not only a follow-up to the camp, but will also serve to connect these kids to ministries that take place during the school year.
- Pray for Gary as he plans and presents the program, that the teachings will connect with where the kids are spiritually and be very clear in Hungarian.
- Ask that the Holy Spirit will soften hearts and open spiritual eyes to Bible truths.
- Pray that the young people and their families will be drawn to faith in Christ and get involved with discipleship and service in the local church and community.

Nintendo President Says Revolution Still Full Of Surprises
Does Nintendo President Satoru Iwata have an ace up his sleeve? Or is he just a good bluffer?
At the Game Developers Conference in San Jose, California, last week, Iwata sat down with MTV News to discuss Nintendo's fortunes in the video game console war. Dressed all in black right down to his sneakers, he spoke softly and cheerfully, seemingly unperturbed by Sony's PlayStation 3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360.
Iwata, 45, was also steadfast in his support for the unusual -- and comparably less powerful -- Nintendo Revolution and its remote-control-shaped controller (see [article id="1517678"]"First Look: Nintendo Revolution Controller Feels Smooth As Puppet Strings"[/article]).
"Our primary focus with the Nintendo Revolution has been to create a system that can do things that the other systems can't, that has functionality that the other systems don't have," he said through a translator. "And speaking to that, there are some other unique features of the Nintendo Revolution hardware that we haven't discussed yet that we will be announcing at E3." E3 is the Electronics Entertainment Expo, the annual video game trade show held each May.
Earlier in the day, Iwata had delivered a keynote that was long on humor, frequently eliciting applause (especially when promising a free game to every attendee), but short on details about the Revolution ([article id="1526963"]"Nintendo Reveals An Old-School Revolution"[/article]). Interviewed one-on-one, Iwata wasn't offering anything more than hints.
While Sony used the GDC to show demos of the PS3 in action, Nintendo relegated the still-code-named Revolution's presence to a glass case at the company's booth on the show floor ([article id="1526859"]"PlayStation 3 Demo Breaks Gaming Ground; Sony Predicts 'Radical Change' "[/article]). Even though PS3 and Revolution are both scheduled for a fall release, Iwata was content to keep the Revolution talk just that: talk.
With the Revolution, he said he expected Nintendo to break down barriers. "Up until now, we've seen when there's a video game console in the home, there's people who play the video game console, but then there's a distinct wall," he said. "There's people in the house that don't play video games whatsoever. And when people see what we have to offer at E3, they're going to understand that that wall's been broken down and we now have created a system that's going to allow for a much, much larger user base than any system we've seen before."
You may not know Miyamoto's name, but you know his work. The mind behind games from 'Donkey Kong' to the next 'Zelda' chapter offers an inside look at the industry, only on Overdrive.
Iwata promised a similar effect at last year's GDC, but at the time he was talking about the Nintendo DS. A year later, the system's pet simulator, "Nintendogs," and a series of "Brain Training" games that provide daily mind exercises have vaulted the DS to market dominance in Japan (see [article id="1505146"]"With Video Games Slumping, Japan Flexes Its 'Brain' Power"[/article]). The DS is selling more than triple the machines of its nearest competitors, according to Japanese hardware sales-tracking agency Media Create. While the system at best held steady with the PSP in the U.S. in 2005, Iwata said the numbers in Japan are proof that Nintendo's current approach is a success.
Nintendo's former president, Hiroshi Yamauchi, held the position for 53 years and is said to have never played a video game. Iwata, a former game designer who helped create Nintendo's pink puffball mascot Kirby, took over in 2002. He said "Brain Training" brought him back to video games. "I played it every day for three to five months since the game launched, and by the end of the day, I got my brain age down to about 27," he said. The object of the program is to get as close to 20 as possible. He had started at about 40.
That game has proven inspirational for Nintendo's teams, Iwata said. "Internally at Nintendo, with the success of 'Brain Training,' our own developers have gradually started offering their own unique ideas, and that's where we're really starting to see this come to fruition."
Some Nintendo fans have speculated that the success of simple games like "Brain Training" and "Nintendogs" may indicate that software on the Revolution will also be more basic than the games Nintendo has offered on previous home systems. Iwata said that won't necessarily be the case.
"We're going to continue to serve, of course, the people who are looking for those classic Zelda experiences and those classic Mario experiences," he said. "At the same time, we're going to offer these new experiences to people who haven't played games before. And these may be people who only play for very short periods of time in a day. ... People can expect to see both the classic style of game that we've done in the past and these entirely new different styles of game play."
Iwata's buzzword is innovation, something he is adamant about associating with Nintendo. He talked about that back at E3 2001 when he criticized the industry's penchant for making "cookie-cutter" sequels. In the five years since, Nintendo has developed critically hailed original efforts like "Animal Crossing," "Pikmin," "WarioWare" and its hit DS titles. But it has also produced five sequels to its "Mario Party" series and follow-ups to most of the major Nintendo games from the Nintendo 64.
Iwata dismissed concerns that so many sequels might impact Nintendo's ability to innovate. "We have a very large fanbase of people who expect to see sequels to those games," he said. "It is our responsibility to meet the expectations of that fanbase, but in doing so, the one thing we absolutely focus on with every one of those sequels is finding ways to innovate within that franchise."
Gamers can debate whether Nintendo is meeting that challenge. But Iwata is clear on the image he intends to project: "If all we were to ever do is just continue to make sequels and not do anything new or different, people would view us as a very conservative company and a company that is unwilling to really take new initiatives and embark on new adventures. That's not the type of person I am and not the kind of company I want Nintendo to be."
To the extent that innovation has been exhibited on Nintendo's consoles, most of the breakthrough games on those systems have come from Japan. When asked how Nintendo would cultivate innovation from American development partners, Iwata once again pointed to the May conference. "We're going to announce at E3 some games that are being developed by people we met with at the Game Developers Conference last year that will be for Nintendo Revolution," he said.
There's one game creator Iwata said might be inspired by Nintendo's efforts. "Recently I have gained a little bit of interest in getting more involved in game development again," he said. But he quickly downplayed the idea. He was too busy on weekends preparing speeches, he said.

Welcome to Your Safe Place
Kuinua - Swahili word for lift
Welcome to Kuinua!
My sole purpose is to provide you with a safe place to be lifted. If you are a frequent VW follower, then you know that we post something inspirational every morning (except on the weekends or those pesky holidays). Well, Kuinua is just an extension of our morning inspirational posts. My hope is to continue with inspiration and include some life experiences of my own when they are relevant.
Life has a tendency to be a little tough every now and then. Let's just be brutally honest, many have questioned their existence - I know I have. Here's the truth about that - if you are still here then it absolutely means you have some work to do. Your time on earth has been extended to complete your assignment. I hope to provide you with something weekly to take along with you to keep you focused and moving forward.
We have been graced with a new year. A brand new page in our novel to add adventure, drama, mystery, and some comedy. It truly is up to us to make things happen, but know when to take a step back to those things you have no control over. I'll confess - I have a problem with this one. I am a logical thinker. It's either black or white with me - no gray. The need to control things that are out of our reach is the process of moving those things out of the gray area into either the black or white area. In my mind, the gray area is chaos and I LOATHE chaos. So, then I try to handle it when most of the time it is nothing that can be handled. I am learning to leave those things in the gray area. Trust me, I am definitely a work in progress.
Here's what I've learned in the past 2 1/2 years - if I can't control it then I try to focus on the things that I can control. Sometimes the only thing you will be able to control is your attitude. Trying to hold on to the issue will only cause continuing aggravation. You will no longer be productive. Do what you can and then move on.
I hope your time spent here will be encouraging enough to push you to do better and be better. Frankly, you will be pushing me to do better. I have promised myself that I would make my best attempt this year to live outside of my comfort zone. That includes interacting with more people and trying things that I would have never even thought about pursuing. Sharing personal experiences with people I do not know, opening myself up to critique and judgment - yep, I would say this is absolutely nowhere near my comfort zone.
Thank you in advance for your time spent in the safe place and here's to a successful and productive year!

CME: Strong Gains in Lean Hog FuturesUS - Lean hog futures posted strong gains yesterday on expectations that strong export demand and current hog supplies will help support cash hog values into the summer months. The export story continues to percolate in the markets and, those that hold a bullish view, often point to it as one of the key drivers for the market this summer.
Memories are still fresh of the big surge in exports to China in 2011 which helped underpin hog values that year. The official USDA export numbers are only through March, showing total shipments to China for that month at 19,003 MT, 160 per cent higher than a year ago. For the first quarter exports to China were up 409 per cent (keep in mind last year exports were minimal in Jan and Feb).
But these export numbers are for March. How about April and May? The USDA weekly export numbers have become increasingly more reliable although there is still a lot of variability week to week.
Based on the recent relationship of the weekly and monthly export data, we would project April exports to China at around 26,000 MT and May exports could be even higher. Data for week ending May 5, showed exports to China at 5,275 MT.
Exports to Hong Kong also have taken off and combined shipments to these two markets are now dramatically higher than a year ago. Will this be enough to support the market through the summer. It is possible although we still need other markets, particularly Mexico and Japan, to sustain their buying pace.
Keep in mind that last year US pork exports were as high as 162,000 MT in April but then dropped to 137,000 by July. The reason why market participants view current China purchases as bullish is that they do not see a slowdown in exports in the short term.
Pork prices in China are extremely high, with the recent loose credit policies further fueling inflation. And if US pork producers are able to ship 30,000 MT to China on top of bigger exports to Hong Kong, it shows that the ractopamine issue may not be as big a hurdle as previously thought.
At this point the expectation is for hog numbers to be quite large into the fall, hence the spread between Jun and Dec futures. Still, as the summer market heats up, it has helped pull up fall and winter contracts, in the process offering hog producers more attractive opportunities to hedge themselves.
But a quick look at June hog futures chart tells you that market participants were bullish about summer hog price prospects before only to become disappointed, leading to the huge $7 break in late March and early April. The pork cutout so far has been increasing at a slower pace than usual.
Pork belly prices, which for a while helped underpin the value of the cutout, have pulled back. It is not usual for bellies to be weaker in May but will current futures imply a notable improvement in bellies by June. Retail promotions often are the key for bacon in the summer and recent break in prices may set the stage once again this year. Ham prices rallied in late April and May but have eased lower in the last couple of weeks. Last year ham prices were quite soft through July, contributing to the weakness of the overall cutout.
If exports take off this summer, that could quickly fix the problems in the ham market. But again, it's a big if, dependent on robust export business. Further improvements in the cutout, a smaller slaughter and lighter weights are needed to justify the lofty hog price projections for the summer and fall market.

The Gary Moore statue for Belfast project was launched in April 2019 with a sellout Gig for Gary concert at The Belfast Empire.
Gig for Gary 2020 is presented by The Irish Rock & Roll Museum, and will bring you a two-night mega fundraising festival across two cities in honor of our guitar superhero Gary Moore. The goal: install a bronze statue in honor of Irish guitar legend Gary Moore in his hometown of Belfast to honour his life and music and for the generations to come.
The first concert on Friday May 8th is at The Empire Belfast Music Hall, the same place where a sellout Gig for Gary show in April 2019 launched the statue project in fine style. Gary's super fans gathered on the night to remember Gary and his music for a night of great music and celebrations.
The statue itself will be skilfully crafted in a total of five stages by renowned Irish sculpture artist Sean McCarthy at the National Sculpture Factory in Cork City. With an expected cost of around €75-€80k which includes bronze casting at the finest foundry on the UK mainland and transport to Belfast for installation, it is expected that these two Gig for Gary 2020 shows will guarantee the funds to commence stage 1 of the statue construction without delay.
On Friday May 8th in Belfast Gary's fans will again see four amazing bands in one night: The Patricia Moore Band playing a powerful tribute to Patricia's dear brother Gary, with the amazing Patricia Moore on vocals and featuring the guitar magic of Debby Morgan (Italy) who hails from the Gary Moore tribute band "Nessie Scream" and special guest Ron Mortland on harmonica; The Eric Bell Trio – living guitar legend and Thin Lizzy founding guitarist Eric Bell, a Belfast native who needs no introduction; The amazing Thin Lizzy tribute bands Dizzy Lizzy who will play the Black Rose album, classed as one of the greatest celtic rock albums of all time; along with captivating blues, rock, celtic & folk rock of Gerry Quigley & The Mystic Blues band greatly inspired by Gary.
The following night, Saturday May 9th in Dublin at The Button Factory Gary's fans will be delighted with five bands this time, in another spectacular show. The MC for the night will be legendary Dublin radio DJ Pat James. The Patricia Moore Band this time featuring the guitar magic of Dublin rock guitarist Conor McGouran; The Eric Bell Trio; Dizzy Lizzy (UK) playing the Black Rose album and more, along with Gerry Quigley & The Mystic Blues band plus a 5th band confirmed but yet to be announced.
