While the inspection is occurring and we're negotiating inspection repairs, your attorney will review the contract and create a list of changes he/she wants made to the contract. Attorneys always ask for changes. Usually they are not asking to change anything we wrote into the contract. Rather they are adding additional language to protect you and specifying certain things they want such as closing taking place at a Title company close to your home or their office, etc. The attorneys will negotiate any contract changes back and forth until an agreement can be reached.
If you live in a condo building the attorney will also request the condo documents from your building's property manager or HOA president. Don't be surprised if you have to pay a fee for these documents. In mid to high rise buildings the fees can range from $100 – $300. In addition, the attorney will need to request a Paid Assessment Letter (PAL) from your building showing you are current on all HOA fees/special assessments. Again, there may be a fee you have to pay before your building will release this letter. If so, you have to pay the fee as we need that letter to be able to close.
In addition, before closing the attorney often will:
- Assist with the negotiation of any inspection issues
- Help you further understand the contract and makes sure your interests are protected
- Make sure the title is clear
- File extension requests (attorney review, etc.) as needed
- Work with the buyer's lender to ensure a timely loan commitment
- Closely review the settlement statement (HUD) including any taxes owed, adjustments, closing cost credits, etc. prior to closing
- Prepare all legal documents
- Order the water certificate
- Schedule the closing
The above list is IF everything goes perfectly. If it doesn't and the contract needs to be cancelled, earnest money needs to be refunded, etc. the attorney will handle these items as well. This is why it's crucial to have a good Real Estate attorney as part of your team.
Hopefully you've already picked an attorney. If you haven't, my recommendation is to email the attorneys on my website to see what their fee currently is, see who responds quickest and which one you like the most. Once you've picked an attorney, please let us know.

Tracking the Snowy Beast (2-1-2011)
If you have been near a TV or the internet over the past 24-hours, it is almost impossible that you haven't heard about the MAJOR winter storm that is preparing to chew up and spit out a large part of the country.
The mess has already started in Colorado, with ice and FRIGID temperatures, and Oklahoma is currently taking a beating from heavy snow and strong winds. Missouri appears to be next in line, with Illinois and Indiana on deck after that. They are calling for over 2 FEET of snow in some areas, along with over an inch of ice. To say that things are going to get messy would be an understatement.
We are going to miss out on the wintry part of this storm, although it does appear we could get some snows in here tomorrow evening as the cold front blows through. In the meantime, prepare for some VERY high winds and potentially heavy rains. I don't suspect this thing will take a different track than what is being forecast, but with the nasty stuff being less than 100 miles away for a lot of the state, it wouldn't take much of a shift in the storm track to really mess up Wednesday for some folks in the Commonwealth.
As we all tie down any loose objects outside, here are some links to help you keep up with Snowbeast 2011:
Current air temps (as of this post, there is a -36 AIR temp in Montana….brrrr!)
Some cool web cam links (particularly awesome to me are the St. Louis cam, the Wrigley Field cam, and the Times Square cam)

Trends may come and go, but the principles of interior design are forever. That's why, regardless of what your décor preferences may be, we think it's important you learn about these principles. In the past, we've waxed poetic about the importance of balance and symmetry and now we're tackling harmony and unity.
Read on to learn what these concepts are, why they're important, and how to make them work in your own interiors. Though they may seem simple at first glance, we can almost guarantee that they play a much bigger role than you think.
What are harmony and unity?
Though unity and harmony may sound similar, they each play distinct roles in the way we experience interior design. They can be described as follows:
Harmony is the sense that all of the elements of your design fit together. They may fit the same theme, aesthetic style or mood. The important takeaway is that each distinct piece seems to belong together in some way, even if it is not identical to anything else.
Unity refers to the repetition of particular elements throughout your design — whether they're colors, shapes or materials — to pull the look together.
These principles are used to create a sense of cohesion in the space. Think of how you can incorporate them, not only in each room, but throughout your house as a whole. In truth, sticking to one unified aesthetic in a home rather than having distinctly themed rooms is one of the tools professional interior designers use to take their work to the next level.
Why cohesion matters
Put simply, cohesion is important because it makes rooms easier to digest. We've probably all had the unpleasant experience of walking into a room that is just too much to handle. More than likely, no matter how that room looked from your perspective, the reason why it hurt your eyes and brain is that it lacked cohesion.
According to Gestalt psychology, even though our eyes are constantly taking in information, our brains try and boil everything down to the simplest, recognizable pattern. That's why, when we walk into a new room, we instantly recognize that it's a kitchen or bathroom, rather than focusing on aesthetic details. Only after getting a feel for the room as a whole can we focus on the individual elements.
Using harmony and unity to create a sense of cohesion makes that initial pattern recognition easy. Our brains categorize those repeated details and similarities much faster than they would if none of the design elements fit together, which subconsciously allows us to be calmer when we're in the space.
How to incorporate them
Incorporating harmony and unity is all about showcasing similarity. It's why we tell you to utilize the same colors, patterns, textures, shapes and materials in a variety of applications throughout the space. Take the picture above as an example. The monochromatic color scheme can be seen throughout the wall coverings, flooring, furniture and textiles.
If you're having trouble getting your design to feel harmonious, we recommend focusing on a single element as your source of design inspiration. Pick something small like a patterned throw pillow and take it around with you as you shop for other items. Then, on a case-by-case basis, judge these items on whether or not they work well together.

At SDJ Sports we appreciate that if you are new to cycling the sport can appear to be confusing with so many different styles of riding, racing, bicycles and not forgetting the all important riding accessories, clothing and equipment!
At SDJ Sports we stock a wide variety of cycling jerseys for men, women and children. They can be purchased in a range of fabrics, colours, style of fit and brands. Whether you are looking for an economic brand to kit out your family for enjoyable weekend rides or high end technical clothing for competition situations, we aim to cover all ends of the market. Staff are always happy to advise on what is most suitable for your needs and can assist with particular brand sizing quirks.
As a rule, the benefits to purchasing cycle specific jerseys is down to the types of material used in the manufacturing process. Most brands will incorporate a medium designed to wick sweat directly away from your skin to prevent chafing and general discomfort, enabling you to ride longer and perform better. A seasonal cycling wardrobe is definitely advised. Short sleeve tops, either with full, half or no zip can really assist with keeping you cool and sweat free on the long hot days in the summer. Conversely, long sleeve tops teamed with a good quality base layer can keep your muscles warm and your torso sweat free when you are pushing hard through autumn and winter.

Disadvantages of SSD

The general methodology for website design is essentially based on the following points: The editorial, the graphic charter, the development, the hosting, the referencing, the security ... All these subjects will have to be approached, at one time or another, in an order, at a time and, on pre-established conditions.
Here are the main steps in creating a website in a logical sequence and appropriate advice.
Why do I have to create a website?
This is the essential preliminary question to ask. From the answer to this question will flow all the other questions and answers.
Even before starting the work of design and creation, logic orders to make an inventory of the practice of Internet users when they search for your products or your skills on the Internet.
Your website is a tool. It cannot be an end in itself. In other words, it must allow you as a tool to perform one or more actions, to achieve one or more objectives. What actions? Which objectives? Multiple answers are available to you. This is why we must take stock of the practice of Internet users likely to search for you.
We must measure the level of demand (in search engines) on this or that concept, measure the level of competition on the web (the number of sites dealing with these same notions) will allow you to refine your strategy and position judiciously your communication. Following this analysis work, it will be possible to define the most suitable sections, to refine the editorial line according to this request, to optimize the site on the most relevant concepts when the time comes to improve the SEO.
Define the definitive sections of the site and work the editorial
Following the previous analysis, the tree structure of the site (the items present) is specified according to the most requested themes and the most successful in terms of SEO. It is then possible to start the editorial work.
Your website must be a production tool in itself, talking about e-commerce web Development Company, publication of ads, online transactions, ducatalogue, and your website can be a dynamic element, even the central element of your activity. He must then provide a number of services, integrate different technical and commercial features...
But it is important to specify them even before designing the tool to build, insofar as they decide the nature of the website:
As part of the content writing work, heading by topic, we will take care: to inform the user, to raise objections, to seduce him if possible, without saturating his concentration...
We will also be pleased with the engines research, particularly fond of original content. In short a good compromise communication / optimization for the SEO must be clear: enough to say to inform and please the search engines (always hungry for rich content) but do not discourage the user and keep his curiosity alert ... Do not lose as the information on your site remains its raison d'être regardless of your goals.
This means that we will have to be effective, original, inventive and useful here!
Define a suitable visual identity for your website: logo, graphic charter...
It is then time to work on graphics and more broadly the visual identity of your site. The hard core of your identity being the logo, the latter is currently the first stage of study.
Different models are then developed. They are discussed and adjusted until the validation of a final version, which will then be used for the company's multi-media communication (web, paper communication, various media ...). The work on the graphic charter then begins. The charter is a natural extrapolation of the newly created logo.
Develop the functionalities present on the different headings
Together with the work around the visual and editorial it will be possible to work on the features on the website: forms, internal search engine, online payment module, portfolio, audience measurement tools, dynamic elements, etc.
This is the job of the developer / integrator, the programmer analyst.
A website as a tool for customer loyalty
These different features are designed to build customer loyalty. This can be done in different ways: regular information dissemination, newsletters campaign, promo codes, etc.
Regular updates of your website can then involve the addition of a back-office (administration panel of your site) that makes it possible to update directly by the owner of the site.
Have adapted photos and educational and sales videos
It will then be necessary to gather the appropriate photographic material illustrating each heading and embellishing the layout of your website: photos taken by you, or by the provider, photos made available by a supplier, or still shots purchased on a bank of photographs online.
A video (or more) will always be welcome. It creates proximity to the user. Because you show your business (or yourself) it builds trust and can raise a number of objections.
A video may consist of a simple interview of the manager or a member of the company presenting the latter or a particular service. Note that the video still has this interest: serve SEO your site if it is operated wisely.
Web Integration
This is the job that will consist of assembling all the elements mentioned above (editorial, menus, photos, features, video ... etc ...) in the chosen technical environment.
It is in a way the phase of construction of the website, the stage where it really takes shape through this work of integration.
The website as a point of sharing commercial or technical resources
Use your website to transmit efficiently and without charge (by download) all the technical documentation that your customers or partners may need. Less paper, fewer impressions, less work, less shipping costs, less mess...
Your website combines convenience for the user with savings of time and money for your business.
Website optimization for SEO
It is the job of optimizing the texts and the source code of the site so as to make it "Google friendly", that is to say, easy to detect by search engines, Google in mind.
This is a necessary (but not sufficient) condition to make the site responsive to the key keywords you want to appear on the result pages (SERP).
SEO "in page" covers both the editorial matter (the texts on the site) and the source code of the site.
Prospecting tool for your business
In this case, it is important that the site allows you to meet your natural target, individuals or professionals.
The approach is openly commercial. Charge the company's website to recruit new contacts or customers, and then contribute to the development of your turnover. The SEO problem (natural referencing) will then be predominant.
Referencing "Off page"
Second essential step for natural referencing: develop the reputation of your website on the internet.
This is an essential point and yet largely underestimated by the project promoters, even totally ignored.
Google, however, will consider what is said about you on the web and meticulously measure your notoriety. From this analysis will largely depend your positioning on the key and strategic keywords for you.
Your website as a tool of singularization, differentiation from the competition
Your site is in this perspective a medium to enhance the image of your company. It allows you to develop an original sales pitch, to present an advantageous commercial offer, and more broadly to distinguish yourself to convince you that you are the interlocutor, the partner, the provider best placed among those eligible.
Your website as a contact or quote request facilitator
Your website allows your customers to access in a flash all the practical information and all the tools favoring the linking of supply and demand: contact form directly implemented on the site, practical information including your contact details, implants, request for quotation form, subscription to a newsletter, etc.
Remember that a website is a coherent combination of different essential ingredients: editorial, features, photos, graphics, hosting, SEO, etc.
All of these aspects need to be thoroughly analyzed as a result of which the right choices have to be made. This phase of study is essential because it makes it possible to ask all the essential questions and to highlight the most effective strategic and technical scenario in the work of any prestigious web development company. We just have to click and discover your new web page.

How to extend Wireless (Wi-Fi) Signal Coverage throughout your Large Home, Office, Clubs, Campus, Hotels or even Wi-Fi for Events at large stadiums.
Wi-Fi is becoming an integral part of any Home Appliance, AC, TV, Lights, Wireless IoT Enabled Devices. Its become a necessary that to have wireless network throughout your home and office. Unfortunately, the typical ISP's provides a basic All-in-One Modem+Router+Wireless Gateway for your site with basic minimum capacity to meet your requirements which quickly breaks down when faced with the real-world challenges of serving larger, or sprawling, homes or apartments. The good news is that there are several ways to solve this problem, with varying costs and complexities.
Wi-Fi Range Extenders
Bring your home's Wi-Fi dead zones back to life with a wireless range extender. Here's what you need to know about boosting your networks.
A WiFi repeater or extender is used to extend the coverage area of your WiFi network. It works by receiving your existing WiFi signal from existing Wireless Router, amplifying it and then transmitting the boosted signal. With a WiFi repeater you can effectively increase the coverage area of your WiFi network - reaching far corners of your home or office, different floors, or even extend coverage to your Garden.
There are two types of range extenders ie. Desktop and Plug-In. Most Desktop Extenders look just like a typical wireless routers and are normally equipped with external adjustable antennas, multiple LAN ports for connecting to devices like TVs and gaming consoles, and optional USB ports for attaching to peripherals such as storage drives and printers. Plug-in extenders are much smaller than their desktop counterparts and are inserted right into a wall outlet with a single LAN port and lack USB connectivity, making them less versatile but more affordable than desktop extenders.
Mesh-Based Wi-Fi System
If you are considering upgrading your network with all new hardware, it's worth upgrading into a mesh-based Wi-Fi system before you spend money on a traditional router.
These Wi-Fi systems are designed to create a Wi-Fi blanket for your home with wireless coverage and are made up of several networking components, including a main Controller Device (Gateway Router) and a series of satellite Wireless modules, or nodes, that you place throughout your Home / Office.
They are all part of a single wireless network and share the same SSID and password, which means you can roam throughout your house without having to log into an extended network.

What is GDPR?
GDPR is an EU-wide privacy and data protection law that gives individuals more control over their personal data. It applies when anyone processes the personal data of EU residents, regardless of the location of the person/entity performing the processing.
The GDPR is relevant to any globally operating company and not just EU-based businesses and EU residents. Our customers' data is equally important no matter where they are located, so we plan to implement GDPR controls as our baseline standard for all our operations, worldwide.
GDPR will become enforceable on 25th May 2018.
What is personal data?
Anything that can help identify an individual is personal data.
GDPR includes a broad spectrum of information that could be used on its own, or in combination with other pieces of information, to identify a person. Personal data extends beyond a person's name or email address. Some examples include financial information, political opinions, genetic data, biometric data, IP addresses, physical address, sexual orientation, and ethnicity.
How are we prepared for GDPR?
With GDPR in effect, you'll need more control over data sharing and processing. We have worked to incorporate these requirements within our website and any plugins used withing the website and will continue to ensure that our customers around the globe have the best protection for their user data.

Saudi Arabia's restaurants and cafes can now apply for entertainment licenses
Restaurants and cafes will now be able to apply for entertainment licenses to host music and comedy events as Saudi Arabia in 2019.
Speaking to media in Saudi Arabia, General Entertainment Authority chairman Turki Al-Sheikh said that the move forms part of a wider plan to turn Saudi Arabia into one of the world's top 10 entertainment destinations.
Al-Sheikh added that the GEA is also exploring the possibility of holding a US National Basketball Association (NBA) event in the kingdom, and plans to open a Madame Tussauds wax museum in 2019.
"Competitions are an important element of entertainment," Al-Sheikh was quoted as saying by Arab News. "The most important will take place during Ramadan and will be of an Islamic nature."
Other entertainment options will include e-gaming events, concerts, plays, car 'drifting' competitions, stand-up comedy and magic shows, as well as exhibition football matches featuring the likes of David Beckham and Zenedine Zidane.
All the events, he added, will respect local cultural values.

THE DRAMATIC, across-the-board victory engineered by Republicans in the Nov. 4 elections would seem to bode well for the partys chance to capture the White House in 2016. The GOP took full control of Congress, flipped at least four governors offices from blue to red, and prompted much talk of a resurgent Republican movement.
Not so fast. A more careful look at the returns significantly complicates the narrative that an American electorate, which recently tilted Democratic, has since shifted back to the Republican fold.
In fact, the 2014 election results appear to say more about who did not vote than who did: Younger voters and minority communities stayed home in large numbers, as is typical during a midterm election.
If trends from the last two presidential elections hold, those same groups are likely to be far more energized during the next White House campaign, making last weeks results of limited value in predicting 2016.
Data from the midterms reveal that Republicans could face a steeper climb than usual in two years. Exit polls showed that Republicans actually got a smaller percentage of the female vote than they did in the 2010 midterms, even as many of their highest profile candidates tried to moderate their image on issues like abortion and contraception.
The GOP could find itself more reliant than ever on white males, the one slice of the American electorate on which the GOP has a lock. But that wont be enough to win national elections with the country growing markedly less white.
According to data compiled by the Pew Research Center, the US is on track to become a majority-minority population in the next three decades. People of color consistently vote more Democratic than Republican.
Republicans can try to counteract Democrats built-in demographic advantage by influencing turnout. This, Democrats argue, is the real point of the restrictive voter identification laws that Republicans have turned to as a fix for supposed voter fraud. It is about depressing minority participation at the polls. That seems less like a sustainable long-term strategy and more like an act of desperation.
OF COURSE, Democrats have their own problems with midterm elections namely, turnout. In 2010, the share of the electorate comprised of non-white voters dropped by three percentage points from the 2008 election, and the share of 18-29 year olds dropped by six percentage points.
Exit polls from House of Representatives races in 2010 showed a national electorate made up of 35% self-identified Democrats, 35% Republicans and 29% independents. Exit polls from last weeks election showed a nearly identical breakdown. Those same polls showed the parties maintaining roughly the same level of loyalty among their own voters as in 2012.
The only major difference is that Democrats in 2014 actually improved their performance by five percentage points among independent voters.
But again, the midterm losses from 2010 didnt mean disaster for the party in the presidential election. Instead, 2012 brought back young and minority voters in large numbers, giving Obama his second term.
The same will likely prove true, unless the GOP goes through a very rapid transformation.
To be sure, if Republicans are looking for a positive political message to take away from this midterm, it is that the GOP can probably look ahead happily to 2018. Midterms are their meat: They play to their strengths and lessen the impact of their demographic weaknesses. But they shouldnt get overly excited about 2016 at least not until they come up with a new strategy and policy platform.

Book a CPD Seminar
Using Automist to meet Building Regulations
Together with our regional installation partners, we deliver a high-quality seminar in which delegates will learn why Automist Smartscan is an option that can meet the requirements of building regulations with benefits that cannot be achieved with a traditional sprinkler system.
Traditional sprinklers are a well-established and effective means of controlling fire. However, their high cost and disruption explain their low penetration in domestic properties. Learn why Automist is trusted in thousands of homes of enable design flexibility. It can be particularly useful to gain approval when a traditional sprinkler is not practical, because of water supply requirements. Automist is designed to minimise disruption during installation and does not need a tank or a commercial grade incoming water main. Winner of numerous international awards, it provides the opportunity for both compliance and fire safety to be maximised cost-effectively by making sure the objectives of Approved Document B are being met.
Who would benefit from a seminar?
- Architects
- Building Control Officers
- Care Home Managers and Owners
- Developers
- Housing Associations
- Mechanical and Electrical Consultants
- Private and public landlords
- Quantity Surveyors
- Those with a duty of care for the vulnerable

Brucie Kibbutz is a supporting character first introduced in Grand Theft Auto IV. In keeping with the game's delicious satirical take on the American Dream, Brucie is an insecure individual who hides behind a ridiculous overly-masculine façade. The player will encounter him several times in GTA IV in main missions and can invite him on friendship activities once gaining his trust. He is an outrageous individual. Despite wanting to appear tough, he is generally reluctant to join protagonist Niko in committing serious crimes. That said, he does send Niko out on a one contract killing which involves locating the target using a police car. Brucie spends most of his time 'getting jacked' on steroids, working out and protesting about his sexual inclinations.
"Brucie is an insecure individual who hides behind a ridiculous overly-masculine façade"
In fact, a lot of the moments involving Brucie reflect the game's balance of satire and seriousness in general. In the end, GTA IV effectively becomes a tragedy despite the huge amounts of fun involved in getting to that point. Similarly, Brucie's moments of bravado are clipped with insights into a miserable existence where he is unsure of his true identity and jealous of others' success. However, the thin veneer of greatness which Brucie projects most of the time is still, in itself, incredibly funny. One of his favourite pastimes is injecting bull-shark testosterone to ramp up his sense of maleness. His super-hyper personality is great for the long car rides for which the GTA series is famous. It is a testament to the strength of the character that his lines stick out in a script which is full of fantastic moments. He can be summed up by his thoughts on his and Niko's supposed success: "Bling? Check. Bodies? Check. Paper? Check. That's how we roll!"

You can climb few of those to get the feelings of hiking. The reason behind exploring the clay hill is its colorful soil. You'll possibly find almost every color there from the rainbow. Sometimes you might feel that the soil was burnt or something like that, but it's the natural clay having such color.

The ATM Industry Association today published Best Practices for ATM Physical Security Version 3 to update members on counteracting current global threats.
"This new version is required reading for those serious about protecting the ATM as a highly trusted self-service device against threats today," explained Mike Lee, CEO of ATMIA. "The association started promoting ATM security back in 2001 with the establishment of its first ATM security conference in London, an event which is still running, and shortly afterwards began its series of security best practice manuals to cover the entire ATM security lifecycle."
The updated Best Practices for ATM Security will help ATMIA members mitigate the risks of theft of the ATM itself, theft of cash within the ATM as well as compromise of data and electronics within an ATM.
"I'd like to thank all the contributors and reviewers, as well as the technical editor, Douglas Russell, for this timely contribution to protecting a vast industry of over 3 million ATMs," Lee said. "This manual is a winner."

Rashmika Mandana has been in a live-in relationship with Kannada Actor Rakshit Shetty. The love birds had even got engaged last year. Recently, Break-up rumours of the Rashmika and Rakshit surfaced online.
In her recent interview, Rashmika informed she and Rakshit can't stop laughing when they heard rumours of their separation. 'Before engagement, We didn't get much time to spend together and weren't even dating then. So, We are in a live-in relationship after engagement and enjoying it thoroughly. We would marry later..don't know when it will happen,' she says.
Kannada Fans trolled Rashmika for locking lips with Vijay Devarakonda after engagement with Rakshit. Here is her befitting reply to the trolls: 'While I was dating, I am doing films as well. In my opinion, Personal Life and Profession are different. We can't link them. I hope public will see it in that way. For now, I am balancing dating and films'.
Rashmika signed a Kannada Flick opposite Rakshit and Two Telugu Projects. She is in good demand after the success of 'Geetha Govindam'.

So the kids are off to college, you have more free time, and maybe, if you're lucky, at least a little more disposable income. And you're getting back into one of your first true passions: listening to music over a high quality sound system. But somewhere along the way you either put your old turntable in the attic to gather cobwebs with other outdated stuff—you know, like compact discs—or you got rid of it altogether when it became obvious that LPs were finished—you know, like compact discs.
Okay, I'm exaggerating the demise of the CD for effect, but it is more than a little ironic that the generation that grew up with compact discs has largely abandoned the format in favor of MP3 players, while simultaneously embracing the once again flourishing vinyl LP. And while not every twenty-something spins black plastic, I've recently advised more than one young friend on his first turntable purchase.
But if you're reading this magazine chances are you probably owned a turntable way back when, or maybe got into audio with the CD's ascendance and never took the vinyl plunge. Either way, it's reasonable to ask if all the buzz about an analog renaissance is true, and, if so, if it's worth the considerably greater effort it takes to operate and maintain an LP playback system.
As vinyl enthusiasts, we at TAS can confirm that, yes, the analog resurgence is very real, as are the accompanying musical rewards. Even if you haven't visited a CES, Rocky Mountain Audio Fest, or other recent audio show, the evidence is in plain sight—not only between the pages of magazines such as this one but also in mainstream media as well as catalogs and on-line sales sites.
Turntables are cool!
Vinyl is hot!
Moreover, with the exception of classical record companies, pretty much every other major label has jumped on the LP bandwagon (and why not, with CD sales plunging and vinyl sales rising?), issuing new pop releases while also mining deep back catalogs. Those doing it well, like Warner and Sony, have learned their lessons from reissue specialists such as Analogue Productions, Classic, and Mo-Fi, and are releasing LPs cut with superior mastering techniques on quality vinyl.
But even with the demise of brick-and-mortar record stores, purchasing vinyl is in some ways easier, via the Web, if not cheaper, than it's ever been (see our accompanying sidebar: Where to Buy Vinyl).
And while I've not attempted a formal census, I would venture to say that there are actually more LP playback choices available today than ever before—and at an ever-widening, even wilder range of price points.
Where to Begin?
Let's assume you already own a fairly decent audio system. Although it may be obvious to say so, it is absolutely critical that whichever record playing devices you choose fit into that system's overall quality in both build and sound.
Practically speaking, if you have a fairly high-end system you shouldn't purchase a lower quality turntable because you think you want to check out vinyl but aren't yet committed. Likewise, if you're lusting after a fine LP playback system but the rest of your system needs a makeover, then spending a lot of money on a great record player doesn't make much sense—unless, that is, it's the beginning of an upgrade path you're already in the process of mapping out. In other words, go about selecting your record player thoughtfully.
Hah, you might be thinking, that's easy to say, but where do I find dealers for such products? This is the one area where making an informed purchasing decision by way of hands- and ears-on experience is much more difficult than it was twenty years or so ago. Back then you could walk into any number of high-end audio retailers, such as the one I worked at, and, over the course of one or more listening sessions, actually hear the difference between, say, a Rega Planar 2 and 3; what your money bought if you graduated to a Linn Sondek (and is the Ittok arm that much better than the Basik?); the difference between a Linn and a Sota and an Oracle; and, if you had the bucks, the musical ecstasies (and attendant mechanical agonies) awaiting if you could reach for that Goldmund or Versalab.
Today, even if you live in a major city, quality high-end dealers are increasingly hard to find. And those willing to invest the money, time, and commitment it takes to set up, maintain, and properly demonstrate even a handful of turntable, arm, and cartridge selections are rarer still.
But they do exist and are well worth seeking out. And even though ideally you will find yourself within reasonable driving distance of a good dealer—because, make no mistake, proper turntable setup, cartridge alignment, and fine tuning are critical if you're going to get the performance you paid for—the best on-line dealers now offer expert consultation and setup before shipping.
Without claiming to be a thorough explanation of all things analog, or an exhaustive survey of available products—we won't, for instance, be delving too deeply into the super-pricey gear we review as Cutting Edge (though we do touch on it)—this article's aim is to guide you through the options, identify the major players, explain what you get as you move up the chain, and, we trust, make your journey into vinyl a fun one that will bring years of musical pleasure, whether you're getting into it for the first time or perhaps a second go-round.
Pre-packaged Turntable-Arm-and-Cartridge Combos
Once aimed at those on slimmer budgets, these packages were also generally, though not exclusively, aimed at novice users. That was then. Today, with serious players in the game, and a range of fine models ranging up to several thousand dollars to choose from, these pre-packaged turntable, arm, and cartridge combinations are perfect for folks—and that would be most of us—who want to enjoy LPs while fussing as little as possible with the mechanical side of the equation. When a turntable is delivered with a pre-selected and installed arm and cartridge, the remaining setup is a relative breeze that usually involves nothing more than mounting the platter, belt, and tonearm counterweight, and adjusting the cartridge's tracking force to the manufacturer's spec. These packages are often a deal, too, selling for less than the sum of their collective parts.
For $395, Rega's excellent P1 comes mounted with the Ortofon OM-5e moving-magnet (mm) cartridge, which is also bundled with the likewise impressive Pro-Ject Debut III turntable and arm ($379). Another fine contender in the under-$500 range is Music Hall's $449 MMF-2.2, which sports the company's Tracker mm cartridge.
Crossing the $500 price point, at $559, the TD170 from the venerable Swiss firm Thorens—which has been building phonographs since 1903—includes another Ortofon cartridge, the OMB10.
What you should expect to hear from packages in this range are the fluidity, rhythmic pulse, and musically satisfying qualities people so love about analog, if not the widest dynamic range, subtlest nuance, or most extended bass and treble response. But as I suggested, these limitations will more than likely match those of the systems these designs will be paired with. Also assume that build-quality is going to be necessarily less heavy-duty, and bearing and other tolerances (though quite good) less precise than those of costlier designs.
While any generalization is just that, figure that to get a significant step up in audible performance—the kind that you can hear the moment the stylus hits the grooves—as well as better build quality, which of course also affects sound, you're going to start looking at roughly doubling your budget.
At $875 Music Hall offers the MMF-5.1 with Goldring's G1012 mm cartridge, as well as the MMF-7.1, which goes for $1495 with Goldring's Eroica H, itself a $450 value. At $999 Pro-Ject's RM-5 SE comes mounted with importer Sumiko's highly regarded Blue Point 2 high-output moving-coil (mc) cartridge, while at $1159 Thorens moves up to the TD 295 with an Audio Technica AT-95E. Finally, Sota will package its fine Comet 'table and s301 arm with Dynavector's high-output 10x5 moving coil ($1545, $1150 sans cartridge).
Reaching the outer limits of our combo category, we come to the German company Clearaudio's Emotion turntable, which includes the Satisfy tonearm and Maestro cartridge ($1999), as well as two teardrop-shaped models from Pro-Ject: the RM-9.1 with Sumiko Blue Point Special cartridge ($2049), and the RM-10, which relies on an air-assisted bearing for its acrylic platter, ($3499 with Sumiko Blackbird cartridge, $2999 without).
As you climb the ladder, expect these designs, with their more massive platters and less resonant bases, more sophisticated materials, and more finely tuned tonearms and cartridges, to retrieve more information from LPs' miniscule grooves, resulting in deeper, tighter, more tuneful bass; airier, more extended and detailed highs; a richer, more fleshed out and vivid midrange; more precise imaging; a bigger, airier, more three-dimensional soundstage; wider as well as more finely defined dynamics; and, ultimately, an experience that is that much more emotionally involving and that brings you that much closer to the sound of live music.
Turntables with (and without) Tonearms
This category offers far and away the most diverse range of options. Potentially confusing is the fact that some manufacturers package their 'tables and arms together, while also offering them separately. In an attempt at clarity we've created a separate category you'll find below for separate arms.
Also, rather than repeat earlier generalizations, assume that the differences in build- and sound-quality described above will keep stepping up as these models become more refined—turntable design is as much art as science—more precisely engineered and built, and, concurrent with that, more costly.
While following the company's long-held philosophy that low mass plus rigidity equal low resonance, Rega's line of entirely British-built models runs from the $545 P2 up though the $4995 P9. The many stops in-between include the $1295 P3c and $2695 P7. In some cases separate power supply options further improve performance.
VPI Industries has been one of the U.S.'s premier manufacturers for 30 years. It also builds some of the strongest values to be found in analog playback, starting with the Aries Scout, $1850 with JMW-9 arm, and extending to the new Classic, which may be the company's highest value yet—$2500 with the JMW-10.5i arm.
Basis Audio builds a range of beautifully engineered acrylic-based turntables, which can be purchased either with or without the Vector Model 4 arm. As you advance through the entry-level model 1400 Signature ($2900) up through the Debut Signature ($15,900), which with refinements has been in production for 20 years, these designs gain in mass, in the refinement of suspension, bearings, and all parts, and in some cases in the capability to mount extra arms, as well as a vacuum system which couples LPs to the platter.
Another prominent user of acrylic, Clearaudio makes a wide range of turntables. The Performance model includes a ceramic-magnetic main bearing that floats the platter on a pillow of air to reduce friction and improve isolation, $2799 with Satisfy arm; while the Ambient, which ranges between $5000-$10,000, depending on options, incorporates layers of compressed wood in the unit's base, which adds warmth to its traditionally somewhat cool sound.
Sota's line tops out at the $8700 Millennea, but for $2400 you can get the Sapphire, which utilizes Sota's now classic four-point hung suspension and vacuum LP-hold-down system.
At $2800, Well Tempered Lab's Amadeus redefines another classic of American design, the $6600 Reference. Perhaps the only arm of its kind, the Amadeus' sports a "precision"-made golf-ball "bearing" floating in silicon fluid.
Nottingham's well-regarded Studio Space 294 turntable ($3999) comes equipped with the Space Ace 294 arm, a 12-inch carbon-fiber unipivot design, which makes for an excellent mid-level point of reference.
Known for its staggering engineering capabilities, the British maker SME builds outstanding turntables and arms that are usually sold in tandem. The $9900 Model 10A/309 arm is followed by the Model 20/II ($17,000 with IV.Vi arm), the 20/12 ($28,000 with 12" transcription arm), and the $36,000 Model 30/2, which is one of the world's most desirable record players paired with the classic Series V arm ($5300 when sold alone).
Another British firm, Avid, builds an impressive range of 'tables using 3-point suspension systems using elastomer or springs, including the $2499 Diva II, the $5000 Volvere, and the $12,500 Acutus and Reference ($19,995).
TW Acustic's Raven One ($6500) is a cleverly engineered and very well made German design that's considered a strong value in expensive record players. It, like its $18,000 sibling the three-motor AC-3, has the ability to accept up to three tonearms.
Separate Tonearms
As noted, many of the models listed above come without tonearms, which isn't necessarily better or worse than a 'table designed with its own specific arm, but does allow the analog lover to engage in the time-honored sport of mixing and matching a favorite arm to a turntable of choice.
As it happens, two of the finest tonearms ever made come from manufacturers that, at least as of this writing, do not make a turntable.
The Graham Phantom B-44 MK II ($4700) is a classic of unipivot design that has evolved to peak performance over two decades of intense design development. An engineering marvel, the Phantom is one of the greats.
And so is the equally excellent but very different Tri-Planar Ultimate VII, which has been duking it out with the Graham for years. At their current levels of excellence, it's almost like having to choose between Grace Kelly and Rita Hayworth. (See what I mean?)
At the entry-level, Rega's $495 RB301 not only graces the firm's own 'tables, it can be purchased separately and has also become something of a de facto OEM choice for several turntable companies that do not build their own arms.
VPI's fine unipivot arms straddle the gap between Rega's and high-end examples, starting with the $1400 JMW-9 Signature and its longer brethren, the 10.5 and 12.5 (as in inches), which sell for $2300 and $2600 respectively.
SME's superb arms were touched on above, and have long been industry standards. If the $5300 Series V or IV.V1 ($3995) are out of reach, check out the titanium 309 ($2195), which offers a detachable magnesium headshell to aid in cartridge swapping.
Another superb unipivot, Basis Audio's Vector 4 uses a clever stabilizing method to solve an inherent "roll" problem with unipivot bearings.
Finally, should cost be no object, the extraordinary wood-and-metal-sculpted Da Vinci Grandezza "Grand Reference" may be your ticket, albeit an expensive one at $9700.
Phono Cartridges
With literally dozens of models to choose from, the following list merely glimpses at some of the available choices, while touching on a wide range of price points.
Thankfully, cartridges, especially of the high-output moving-magnet and moving-coil varieties, are an area in which many fine values are to be had.
Grado, which focuses on moving-magnet designs, begins at a mere $60 for the Black, and nails pretty much every price point until it hits the moving-coil Statement ($3000). Notable stops on the way are the Prestige Gold 1 ($220), the Reference Sonata ($600), and the Reference 1 ($1500).
While its range of offerings is now limited, Shure's M97XE ($89) is a remarkable value, and one of the finest entry-level mm cartridges on the market.
Denon alone makes three high-output mc's under $250 (the DL-110, -160, and -102); Clearaudio's notable "wood" series ranges from $400 to $725; Benz makes the MC 20E II ($250), Ace ($700), Glider, ($1000), and Wood S ($1500); Shelter now offers the 201 mm ($250); while Sumiko, a standard-bearer for quality budget models, racks 'em up with the $55 Oyster, the $75 Pearl, the $95 Black Pearl, the $299 Blue Point 2, and the $399 Blue Point Special.
As it is with specialty audio in general, there's almost no limit to what you can spend on a high-end cartridge. However, before hitting the stratosphere there's also a large middle ground of, say, $1000–$3000 where you can find really great cartridges that won't break the bank. Most, by the way, will be of the low-output moving-coil type.
Besides those already mentioned, other noteworthy contenders include the Lyra Dorian ($1100), Argo 1 ($1675), and Helikon ($2780); the Shelter 301II ($895), 5000 ($1950), and 7000 ($2800); Clearaudio's Talisman ($1200), Symphony ($1800), and Concerto ($2400); Transfiguration's Axia ($1500) and Phoenix ($2500); Sumiko's Celebration ($2000); the Benz "Gullwing" ($3000), and from Koetsu, maker of the $20,000 Blue Lake Platinum, the Black ($1800) and Rosewood ($2600).
In days of yore, all preamps came with built-in phono preamplification. As CDs replaced LPs in the 80s, manufacturers started eliminating phonostages from their preamps, creating a whole new component category—the dedicated phonostage. In actuality, this has brought phono preamps to staggeringly high levels of performance, which in turn has resulted in the likewise huge advancements in all aspects of LP playback.
As you might expect, the proliferation of good affordable analog gear has included phonostages, but do be sure that whichever model you choose is compatible with your cartridge (some handle only moving-magnet or moving-coil cartridges, and some accept both).
England's Creek Audio has long championed good low-priced phono playback. Its OBH-18 ($250) accepts only mm models, while the OBH-15 also plays moving coils. Grado offers the nifty PH-1 ($500); Parasound, the ZPhono ($200); Pro-Ject, the Phono Box MKII ($159) and Phono Box USB ($199) for use with computers, and the $499 Tube Box II and SE version ($699). Bellari also makes a tiny tube model, the $250 Rolls VP 130; Clearaudio offers the Smart ($600) and Basic ($900); Rogue Audio's Stealth goes for $795; Simaudio builds the fine Moon LP3 ($500) and LP5.3 ($1500); PS Audio has the versatile GCPH ($995); and Musical Surroundings markets the Phonomena II ($600) and Nova Phonomena ($1000).
Stepping up—er, no pun intended—Sutherland's battery-powered Ph3D ($1000) and PhD ($3000) offer terrific sound with very low noise; as does the tiny Benz Lukaschek ($1750).
Finally, it should be note that Audio Research is again building a full-function tube preamp with built-in phono capability, the $3495 SP1.
Sidebar: Where to Buy Vinyl
With Tower and now Virgin up in proverbial smoke, I'm lucky to live in one of the few cities that still has a truly great brick-and-mortar record store (Amoeba Music, here in San Francisco, as well as Berkeley and Hollywood), let alone any brick-and-mortar music store. Although it's not the same experience, Internet sales of new and used vinyl are just a few clicks away. The main sources are: Acoustic Sounds, Audiophile International, eBay, Elusive Disc, Music Direct, The Needle Doctor, and Todd the Vinyl Junkie.

Ayurveda meaning "knowledge for long life" is a system of traditional medicine native to India. The practice of Ayurvedic medicine is thousands of years old and stresses the use of plant-based medicines and treatments to promote a healthy and balanced body and mind.
Ayurvedic hair care involves the use of natural, herbs, powders, oils and techniques to promote hair health, growth, thickness and length. It's a holistic approach to hair care as Indians believe that the health of the hair, skin, and nails is a good indication of the overall health of the person. A basic Ayurvedic regimen involves regular oiling of the hair and massaging the scalp using a variety of herbs depending on specific need. The herbs are often found in powdered form and used either as a topically applied paste or rinse. The herbs can be categorised into two functions: cleansing or conditioning.
Popular Cleansing Herbs
Shikakai – natural cleanser, mild conditioner, promotes hair growth
Aritha (Reetha/Soapnut) – natural cleanser (clarifying)
Bhringraj – prevents hair loss, premature greying, conditioner
Neem – strong antibacterial agent, regulates dry scalp issues
Brahmi – strengthens hair at the roots, helps relieve dandruff, thickens hair
Popular Conditioning Herbs
Hibiscus – conditions hair, promotes hair growth, prevents hair loss, thickens hair
Amla (Indian Gooseberry) – stimulates hair growth, conditioner, strengthens hair at the roots
Kalpi Tone – promotes hair growth, mild conditioner, imparts shine
Fenugreek – prevents hair loss, promotes hair growth, helps strengthen hair, light protein
Brahmi – strengthens hair, helps relieve dandruff, light conditioner
Whilst I don't follow an Ayurvedic regimen per se, I do incorporate a few of the herbs into my regimen. I regularly use a mix of Henna/Cassia, Neem and Amla powder as a conditioner and I always pre-oil my hair before a wash with either coconut oil or some other oil based mix.

After a few slower seasons trout fishing has picked up this year on the Cumberland River and the good news is that this pattern should remain until the leaves start to fall. I think the trout have been around the last few years, but high and off-color water has made it tough to catch them in recent years. Fortunately, and thanks for the Army Corp of Engineers, we've had better water conditions this year. The water isn't as high as it's been the last few summers. The water is down, it's clearer and the trout are biting now.
I've been doing a lot of striper fishing in the same sections of the Cumberland that harbor trout, but the phone has been ringing from trout anglers recently and we've been able to get out on several trout trips. This last week was excellent. We caught roughly 20-30 trout a day, and these trips have been done before midday. There's no reason the trout bite should slow down anytime soon.
Trout fishing has been automatic. We've caught a lot of quality fish because the water has been down. The lower flows make it easier for us to fish. Almost all the trout we've caught have been rainbows. Three years ago we started to catch brook trout here, but we haven't caught any brook trout this year and very few the year before. We've only seen a few browns, too. Most of the fish have been 17-18 inch rainbows.
The Cumberland is heavily stocked and loaded with trout. Trout are scattered from Wolf Creek Dam to the Burkesville. That's almost 35 miles of river water that has trout right now. Most of the trout we are catching are close to the bank or in the holes. As always, the biggest holes harbor the most trout. Time of day hasn't mattered this summer. We've been catching them all day long.
Trout haven't been too picky with my bait this summer. We've been side drifting three baits and get bit every time the baits drift near the bottom of the hole. It's unreal how aggressive they are on these baits. I've been using Rainbow and Orange Fire Bait, Pink Shrimp Fire Balls and Pink Shrimp salmon eggs. Kentucky trout are big fans of shrimp and anything pink. To be honest, any pink bait we put in the water gets eaten.

best film: lola montes at the top spot here again means an ophuls film has been my choice for two times in three years. Lola Montes is a stylistic explosion and is far ahead of the rest of the films from 1955. Sarris called it the greatest film ever made. Sadly, at age 53 it would be ophuls last film as he would fall ill and die in 1957.
most underrated: preminger's the man with the golden arm is not one of 20 movies from 1955 in top 1000 according to TSPDT. That's astonishing. It's Preminger at his brashest.
most overrated:. I actually have plenty in 1955. The TSPDT consensus has ordet at 33, night of the hunter at 43 and pather panchali at 57. I don't have any of those in my top 250 at this point. Just by the loftier ranking, I'll have to single out dreyer's ordet as the single most overrated—but I've only seen it once. I'm excited to revisit and see what I'm missing.
gem I want to spotlight: kiss me deadly is a gloriously dingy and pulpy (no wonder it influenced Tarantino) atomic film noir that is Aldrich's best film. A mismatch of art and entertainment that is absolutely lovely; a key noir.
trends and notables: 1955 doesn't have multiple masterpieces but we have a whopping 45 total films in the archives which is the most by any single year to date and one of the top 5 highest amongst any year still as of 2017. 1955 is important because we have the first archiveable film of Stanley Kubrick with killer's kiss. It is the straight debut from Satyajit Ray- certainly amongst the greatest debuts of all-time. On top of those two towering auteurs and their breakthroughs, we have a remarkable year for acting debuts. We have the arrival of James Dean. He would give us 2 of his 3 overall films, die on September 30th of 1955, and take the cinematic world by storm (also clearly influenced by clift and brando). Sidney Poitier would have his first archiveable film here in 1955 as would Peter Sellers, Dennis Hopper, and Jack Lemmon. Oddly enough it would also be Walter Matthew's first archiveable film and of course he and lemmon would be compared and paired together forever. What an amazing year for firsts! Henry Fonda would end a 7 year absence from the silver screen (fort apache- he was doing theater work) to return for mister Roberts and get into a famous fight with john ford (where ford punched him in the face). Sadly they'd never work together again.
best performance male: It surprises me even now but I think Frank Sinatra gave the best performance of the year in the man with the golden arm. Sure, now in 2017, an actor playing a person with addiction is an easy Oscar-baiting target but Sinatra is deglamorized and raw here—a real performance. Right there with Sinatra and the twin performances by Dean in both rebel without a cause and east of eden. Dean's per performance quality of acting average would never be matched by any other actor in cinema history (even by Cazale or Daniel Day Lewis). Robert Mitchum is equal to Sinata and Dean's performances with his work in night of the hunter- truly one of the great villains of all time.
best performance female: It's a down year here. Forced to pick I'm going to go with Martine Carol in the title performance in ophuls' lola montes. Natalie Wood's work in Ray's rebel without a cause is historically underrated as is the understated performance for Katharine Hepburn in david lean's summertime. Hepburn's work here gives a restraint and range that you wouldn't see in many of her other standout performances. It also clearly adds depth for her as well. My last two performances worth recognizing are Magnani (who won the Oscar) for her work in rose tattoo and Grace Kelly in one of her last roles playing the epitome of chic and yes- grace- in to catch a thief.

Column: Civil Defence volunteers crucial in Kilkenny's hour of need
Darren Hassett writing in this week's Kilkenny People...
File photo
Kilkenny is in dire need of Civil Defence volunteers based on the latest personnel figures from the county's unit, published on page nine of this week's Kilkenny People.
They are the unsung heroes of emergency situations. Volunteers help out in searching for missing persons, rescues, flooding clean-ups and are even on the frontlines when ex-hurricanes hit the county.
It's important to ask why the figures have fallen off in Kilkenny? Counties like Kerry, Monaghan, Dublin and Meath have seen their units' personnel increase since 2013 but generally, across the country, there is a trend of numbers going down.
So, it's important to first point out that the problem isn't unique to Kilkenny. It's a worrying trend nonetheless given the crucial nature of the services that the organisation provides nationwide.
But from a volunteers' perspective, joining the ranks and making yourself available is a big commitment for any person to make.
Volunteers go through significant training - due to the high standards of the Civil Defence in this country - and that's fine, but it can be a time commitment that puts people under pressure.
Volunteers normally attend for training for about two hours per week, according to the Civil Defence website. After completing initial training, they are also expected to make themselves available for duties such as providing first-aid cover at community events.
They may be called on at short notice too, this might include tasks like searching for missing people. These are big commitments to have to make, but they're rewarding as well.
You'll be taught a wide range of skills such as first aid, searching for missing people, boating skills, pumping flood waters and radio communications.
The unit in Kilkenny has had a tough time of it after the Civil Defence building burnt down in Purcellsinch in 2015 which was traumatic for the volunteers and is likely to have hit them hard.
There were 3 jeeps, 4 boats, a rescue van, an ambulance, a minibus and more - all associated with the Civil Defence - destroyed in the fire.
In fairness to the volunteers, they have soldiered on and their service to the county has never faltered. The 23 active personnel left as of last year are in need of assistance though. They need your help. They need more people from around the county to get involved and get trained up.
Each local authority has a Civil Defence Officer who oversees the organising and recruitment of volunteers. If you're in anyway interested in joining the Kilkenny unit, why not get in touch?
The Civil Defence volunteers are crucial in Kilkenny's hour of need - show them your support.

AfterElton has such a beautifully written article at the death of Barca and Pietros. Tim has written a great article. Check it out.
What Worked – and Didn't Work – About "Spartacus"' Shocking Gay Twist
When the Starz network began its advertisement campaign for Spartacus: Blood and Sand, it seemed obvious that this would be a show unlike any other on television. Clearly taking its visual cue from the film 300 and its basic storyline from Gladiator, it was to be a series that would push the boundaries of sex and violence on television.
And then, another big reveal: there would be equal parts male and female nudity – almost unheard of when it comes to American entertainment. And if that wasn't enough to lure in gay and bisexual male viewers, we got the scoop that there would also be – get this – a gay gladiator. And not just any gladiator, but one of the biggest and toughest on the show!
By now we were hooked, and Starz not only kept their word, but exceeded it. Yes, there was ample eye candy that gay male viewers could enjoy, and yes, there was certainly a bad-ass gay gladiator, but the writers went above and beyond by showcasing the fact that the gay gladiator, Barca, was in a committed and loving relationship with another slave named Pietros. Even better, none of the other characters thought any less of him or anything negative about their relationship at all.
It seemed too good to be true. It even caused some to wonder who exactly the target demographic for this show was. Surely, heterosexual men aged 18-35 would be uncomfortable with the level of intimacy shown between Barca and Pietros.

Once water is contaminated, it is difficult, costly, and often impossible to remove the pollutants. Still today, 80 per cent of global wastewater goes untreated, containing everything from human waste to highly toxic industrial discharges. The nature and amount of pollutants in freshwater determines the suitability of water for many human uses such as drinking, bathing, and agriculture. In addition, pollution of freshwater ecosystems can impact the habitat and quality of life of fish and other wildlife which many fish framers relay on for income. In Egypt, Aquaculture is a major industry which accounts for 25.3% of the average household's protein intake and due to the water pollution, it has had an impact on farmers livelihoods.
Towards a Solution
In 2013, the Conative Labs (a technology start-up based in Egypt), developed Nilebot a system that measures the effects of pollution in real time and transmits that data to farmers so they can be more proactive to finding solutions. The solution helps fish farmers to raise the productivity, achieve higher feed conversion ratio and growth rates, facilitate management and monitoring the fish farm and ensure the quality of farmed fish for human consumption.
Nilebot measures, records and sends the parameters that affect the condition of the water to a personal account of the framer that can be used on a Smart phone, Tablet or laptop at any time and from anywhere. In case of any sudden change in water quality and exceeding the safe ranges of any parameter such as level of oxygen, temperature, salinity, and acidity, Nilebot sends a warning text message (SMS) to a mobile phone to make sure that a quick response will be taken to solve this problem. The warning text messages also include solutions in which the farmers could use to address the issue. Nilebot can be used with all kinds of farms (fish – shrimp) and in different environments (salty water-fresh water).
This solution has helped reduce operating costs of the fish farmers by saving 33 percent of the fish feed and also to decrease the rate of pumping oxygen in average for 4-6 hours.
The solution received the following awards:
- Injaz Egypt 2015: 2nd place.
- Eitesal Best Entrepreneurial Project in ICT sector (2015).
- Orange Developer Challenge (2015): Nilebote won the first place in Egypt and the second place in worldwide.
- Cairo Maker Hackthon (2015): Nilebote won the first place.
- Sha3`al (2015): Nilebot was one of the winning projects.
- Country: Egypt
- Supported by: GAFI, GAFRD, Ministry Of State For Environmental Affairs, Bedaya Egypt, orange, Egypt Innovate, Nahdet El Mahrousa, Academy of Scientific Research & Technology, EBNI Incubator, Aquatics.

Highlight Train
Back Download
Highlight Train uses new 'double-monorail' construction and 'two-points' transmission technologies that allow it to be deployed in congested or environmentally sensitive areas like central business districts, urban residential zones, tourist sites and more. It is a cost-effective urban transport solution, with a low operating cost and a construction cost up to twenty times cheaper than traditional subways. Its compact size and small turning radius allow seamless integration with existing buildings. Rails can be installed close to buildings around their perimeter, through and inside the building, or vertically along the building to realise three-dimensional, point-to-point transportation. Highlight Train is a short-range smart urban monorail system that replaces conventional buses for last-mile journeys and mitigates urban traffic congestion. Its flexible and lightweight design allows the system to be deployed aboveground, underground or around buildings without occupying space on existing roads. It uses an interactive traffic information system powered by 5G technology and Internet of Vehicles (IoV) to dispatch passenger carriages on demand to minimise emission. The enclosed rail design creates a noise-free urban traffic environment, while its carriages can accommodate 10 to 15 passengers and are integrated with close-to-customer ad/media platforms to bring meaningful value-added services to transport journeys and a refreshing urban appearance.

How to Build Time Series Chart Reports in Entuity Network Analytics (ENA)
An Introduction
This article is going to show you the basic concepts of the time series charts and how to apply them to build reports in Entuity Network Analytics to have better control of your network management as you navigating around your network.
you'll Learn
- Time Series Chart
- Report Builder
- Entuity Network Analytics
- Network Management
To build a Time Series Chart, the appropriate template should be selected from the Report Builder, which is available from the Main Menu→ Reports Page. As we have mentioned on the previous blog, there are four different fundamental templates and in this case, you should select the first one Time Series Chart.
A time series chart can contain up to eight attributes. Although all of the attributes may be from the same component, they can also be taken from multiple different components and those components don't even need to be at the same type. This means that port utilization metrics can be presented in the same chart as device metrics such as CPU and Memory Utilization.
The attribute should be dragged from the Attributes Dashboard which could either be located in a different browser tab or a separate browser window.
The easiest way to create a separate browser tab is usually to right-click the current tab and select the duplicate option. This displays the same page and maintains your login on the new tab. From here you can select the component using the Explorer, then you can select the Attributes Dashboard from the All Dashboards menu.
The series metric can be dragged into the Report Builder from the Attributes Dashboard at any time. In the same browser window, drag the chosen attribute up to the tab of the Report Builder then down to one of the eight attribute entries. I'll click on the Average CPU Utilization attribute drag it up to the tab for the report builder, wait for it to change and then drag it down and drop it in this first attribute.
Let's add another attribute, but this time I'll show an alternative way of using drag-and-drop. I'm going to make this browser take up the right half of the screen by dragging its banner off the right side of the screen. The browser tab used to display the attributes dashboard can then be dragged off the left side of the screen causing that tab to appear in its own browser window of the left side of the screen.
Any chosen attributes can then be dragged from one browser window to the other. I'll take the Average Memory Used % attribute and drag it into the second of the attributes in the Report Builder.
I'm now going to create a very simple Time Series Chart Report to display these specific attributes. You'll see that the default line colors have been allocated to each of the attribute entries, although you do have an option to change these yourself.
Without making any more changes, I can preview what this report would look like. Very subtle aspects of the report can be defined including the title, the timeframe, the name to be used for labeling each metric, the height of the chart and whether to display a line or stacked area. Once you're satisfied with the configuration of the report it can be given a name and published to the user-defined reports folder from where it can then be launched and scheduled.
ENA Tips:
One point you should remember when you build a report and you're considered to be its owner, which allows you to modify its configuration at a later date via this icon.
