CCTV and door entry devices are necessities to have for your property today. They can provide adequate security for your office, home, business, or any other type of property that you want to protect. You can never be too careful with all the burglars that are out there.
These security devices have been around for a long time. But the quality of these devices has gotten better over the last decade, thanks to the advancements and innovations in computer technology. CCTV, of course, is a closed-circuit television system which lets you view a private video feed of your front door or anywhere else around your premises. Nowadays, you can view this feed right on your mobile device instead of a room of private televisions.
As for door entry devices, these are the same devices you see at the front doors of apartment buildings and commercial buildings. The device includes a keypad which you use to enter an access code that unlocks the main door of the building. This is a more secure locking system than the traditional key locking system. If someone loses their keys, then someone else could find them and gain access to a property. The same cannot happen with a door entry system because the access code is only in the heads of the property owners or residents of the building.
Whether you need a CCTV in North London or a door entry installation in North London, you need to hire a trusted company to perform the installation. A company like FixSat has been around London for ages. They have a pristine reputation for providing a high-quality customer service experience to property owners. If you need a CCTV installation in Finchley, a CCTV in Barnet, or a CCTV or door entry anywhere else within the London area, FixSat is the one to contact.
You're probably wondering if CCTV and door entry installations are really necessary. To summarize this point in more detail, below are the top 4 benefits of CCTV installation and door entry installation in North London.
1) Deter Potential Intruders and Burglars
The biggest benefit of CCTV and door entry installations is that they serve as a deterrent for potential intruders and burglars. Sometimes a criminal won't even attempt to gain unauthorized entry into a property if they see it has a CCTV system and door entry device installed. They'll look at the CCTV sticker on the window and then walk away without even trying to break into the property.
Why do they leave? Well, because these criminals know they're not masterminds. They don't want to break into a property which is loaded with cameras, alarms, and other forms of security. They'd rather choose a property that is unsecured and contains no challenges for them to get inside and stay inside. Don't let that be one of your properties. Choose a CCTV and door installation to scare those criminals away.
2) Peace of Mind
A door entry installation in North London gives you the peace of mind that no one can gain access to your property without a security code. And with a CCTV installation, you'll never need to worry about who is at your front door or back door. The CCTV's video feed can be digitally streamed right to your smartphone. As long as you have an internet connection in your location, you can see what is going on around your property. This will give you the best peace of mind imaginable.
3) Affordable
CCTV and door entry technology is certainly more affordable forms of security than hiring security guards. Plus, the maintenance of these security systems is not costly and requires very little of your time. If any repairs need to be made, you can just call up Fix Sat and have them make the necessary repairs for minimal cost.
4) Possible Home Insurance Discount Eligibility
Some home insurance companies will provide discounts to their policyholders if they have extra security features, such as CCTV and door entry. If a criminal were to forcibly enter a door which is wired into a door entry device, then an alarm will activate to scare away the criminal and send the police after them. Insurance companies like this kind of protection because it will reduce any loss in the home by the criminal.
There are so many television cable packages available these days. Between satellite television and internet television, the bill for your television service can add up quickly. Not only that, but you may have an expensive flat screen television which costs too much to replace if it breaks down. How do you handle all these expenses?
As for as your cable packages go, you should consider getting an aerial installation in North London. Aerial television is the older style of television reception because you're using an antenna to capture your local television signal. This allows you to get programming channels which are only available from your local television station, such as the news and weather. These might not be premium channels, but at least you won't need to pay for them. In many cases, you'll pick up channels on the antenna that even regular cable packages don't have available.
TV repair in North London is available when your flat screen television breaks down. You won't find too many TV repair shops anymore ever since CRT televisions became obsolete. But there are still times when flat screens do break down and stop working. Since the high resolution and plasma televisions can cost up to thousands of pounds, you'll want to protect your investment by seeking out a professional company which can perform TV repair in North London. That way, you don't need to spend a lot of money to replace your valuable possession.
One of the most common problems associated with flat screens includes scratching up the surface of the screen. Unlike CRT televisions, flat screens don't have a glass surface on the front of them. Instead, they have a softer material which can easily be scratched just by rubbing up against it accidentally. Then when you turn on the television, you're stuck looking at the scratches on the screen in front of the picture. The only thing you can do is replace the screen, which is not a job that a novice should attempt. Only professionals who know how to repair flat screen components should attempt to do this.
North London has more qualified TV repair professionals than you might realize. You just need to do a Google search to find the one nearest you.
Aerial television has not become obsolete just yet. There are still several property owners in North London who have aerial installations and televisions. This may seem strange considering how much of the population has converted to satellite television. But there are some great advantages to using aerial television instead of satellite television. Once you learn about these advantages, perhaps you'll consider an aerial installation in North London instead of a satellite installation.
Aerial television uses an antenna instead of a dish. If you only care about receiving local television service, then you don't need to pay any monthly fee like you would with satellite or cable. Alternatively, if you have cable or satellite, you can cancel the local television channels off your service plan and save some money on your monthly bill by using aerial technology to get them for free. Most people don't even realize that local broadcasting stations air their programs for free as a public service. You just need an antenna to pick them up.
Cable and satellite television are always going to offer you more channels than aerial television. However, aerial television may give you access to subchannels which aren't available on cable or satellite. This may include public television channels in your local area which your cable or satellite provider has chosen not to include in their services. You may find some interesting sports, news, and weather channels that you've never heard of before.
Perhaps one of the biggest advantages of aerial television is the reception of the signal. When there is bad weather outside, a satellite dish can lose the signal very easily because of the clouds in the sky. This doesn't happen with antennas because they don't reach for signals in the sky. Instead, they pick up signals for bigger antennas on the ground in the local area. That means you'll likely get better reception with an aerial television when there's a storm outside.
Overall, you'll probably end up wanting both aerial and satellite/cable installations. A lot of companies that offer aerial installation in North London also offer other similar services too, such as CCTV in North London or door entry installation in North London. FixSat is one company in North London that you can trust for these services. Give them a call to find out their rates.
In a city like London, business owners and property owners can never be too careful when it comes to their security. These days, you need more than just a lock and alarm system to deter thieves and other criminals from your property. That is why CCTV in North London has become increasingly popular over the years. CCTV systems are private systems which traditionally consist of video recorders and video cameras. As the cameras capture video in real-time, the signal gets sent to a private location where the video is recorded and viewed on televisions.
In modern times, CCTV technology has grown to include more advanced features like motion detectors, infrared sensors, and facial recognition. You can choose whether you want to have these advanced features or not. But at a minimum, you at least need a CCTV system which can capture video of around your property. Since the video is constantly being recorded, you don't need to sit in front of a television and watch it 24/7. If there is anything suspicious going on around your property, you can always look at the recorded footage and see what happened there.
Of course, if you're a business owner who has more to lose, then you may want to hire security guards to watch the CCTV video feed for you. This will allow them to call the police in real-time and catch trespassers or criminals as they're in the act of committing a crime. You can't take any chances anymore in a growing city like London. Whenever you have more people, there are going to be more criminals lurking about.
If you're ready to get started with a CCTV installation, you need to find a reputable security company in the area. Search on the internet for CCTV installation in Barnet or CCTV installation in Finchley and you should find some good companies that can serve the north London area. And if you want to check the CCTV video feed remotely, then you'll need an aerial installation in North London.
But most importantly, make sure the company will perform a door entry installation in North London to prevent unwanted entry. Even though you can still see them on the CCTV feed, that isn't going to stop some people from trying to break in through your front door.

Domestic automotive company, Oghab Afshan Industrial and Manufacturing Company, has introduced its 'Navigo' minibus and is promoting the vehicle as 'eco-friendly'.
The model was unveiled at the Kish Ideal City Expo (Dec. 31 to Jan. 3) on southern Kish Island, local automotive website Khodro Nevis reported.
Oghab Afshan CEO Behrooz Moradi says, "The minibus is equipped with an enhanced environment-friendly engine and can help curb air pollution in the major urban areas."
Reportedly, Navigo complies with Euro 5 standards and will be commercially available by October. It is a low-floor passenger carrier that can accommodate wheelchair users. The minibus comes in two models (25 and 21 seater) and is equipped with Fiat's famous "low-carbon" 4500cc EEV5 engine.
The minibus is imported from Turkey in completely knocked down kits as part of an agreement signed between Oghab Afshan and Turkey's Otokar Otomotiv ve Savunma Sanayi A.S. (better known as Otokar) in December 2016.
Earlier in November, the company unveiled a new bus called 'Parsin' which is also said to be eco-friendly and supposedly meets Euro 6 emission standards. It comes with a 9-liter CNG-based Scania engine partnered with a six-speed automatic transmission.
Oghab Afshan is one of the major domestic bus and minibus companies with a 53% share of the local market. During the eight months to Nov. 21, the company assembled/produced 953 units including buses and minibuses.


text: A possible, though low probability, case of mumps has been reported on campus and onset of symptoms was September 19th. The case was in a vaccinated individual with other possible causes of an enlarged parotid gland. And blood work so far has been unable to confirm or refute the presence of the infection.McKinley Health Center has notified students and instructors in the Chemistry Department regarding possible exposure. These emails triggered social media announcements and multiple campus inquiries.We see a few cases of mumps on campus each year and the campus had a massive immunization campaign in 2015 due to the number of cases identified. The Center for Disease Control does not consider an outbreak until there have been three confirmed cases. So far we do not have a confirmed case.Mumps is transmitted by respiratory droplets and direct contact with an infected individual. It primarily spreads among susceptible individuals living in close quarters, such as family members, college dormitories, and classrooms. The incubation period is 16 to 18 days from exposure to onset of symptoms. The infected individual is infectious for up to seven days prior to symptoms and up to about 7 days after onset. Prevention is best accomplished by being immunized with the MMR vaccine, which includes all students except those with a medical or religious waiver. In the current situation, if this were a confirmed case of mumps and individuals were exposed and infected, we would expect to see symptoms appearing prior to October 10. Since mumps is spread by droplets of saliva or mucus from the mouth, nose, or throat of an infected person, persons may prevent contracting mumps with a few simple actions: Get immunized with an MMR if indicated. For those born after 1957 most children receive an MMR at 12-15 months of age and a second vaccination at 4-6 years of age. For most people, this provides lifelong immunity. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and throw the tissue away after use. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. If water is not near, use an alcohol-based hand cleaner. Do not share eating and/or drinking utensils. Refrain from close contact with individuals who are sick/experiencing symptoms. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. (Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.)In situations such as this, the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District, area hospitals, and McKinley Health Center work closely together to ensure the safety of the campus and the community.Date: Friday, September 27, 2019 - 14:15

Sunday-finished sewing binding on wedding quilt. Then I did a little slow stitching. By that I mean I did a little embroidery on the Vintage Tin block that I want to try to have done by the end of this month (ha, ha).
I've got a little done on the top motorcycle. Hope to work on this a little each night this week.
Monday-went downstairs and started cleaning. I have shelves that I wanted to clean off and move over to butt up against the shelving unit that I have the sewing machines on. I got the top shelf cleaned off and containers gone through. I've started on the second shelf. A lot of the containers have crafting stuff in them that I just don't do anymore, so I'm going to get rid of that stuff. I will either sell it at the shows or put it in my Etsy Shop. The bottom shelf I'm going to do away with completely.
I also loaded a client quilt on the LA. I'm all ready to rock & roll on that.
I also finished up sewing the last of the 50 scrap catchers I'm making for inventory. Now all I need to do is fill the pincushion part.
Tuesday-ran errands. Post Office, fabric store and then Costco. By the time we got home and got everything put away I just didn't have enough gumption to go down and do anything.
Wednesday-a day to do more cleaning up of stuff I no longer do.got other shelf moved over and went through containers and labeling them. Also cut up more strips of my "wild" fabrics for a project I have on mind. Cleaned up around the sewing machines my BQB & I will use tomorrow.
Thursday-got all the blocks made of the spool leader & ender project from Bonnie Hunter's challenge from about 2-3 years ago. Got the sashing a on. Now I need to get the borders on.
Saturday-not a thing done. Got up this morning to a very windy day. Our power went out 2 times, so by the time it came on for good, I was out of the mood. Must admit, it was a most lazy day for me. Enjoyed the rain though. We really needed it.
Til later,
Hugs & Stitches,

RE: WWII Myths
I like the polish cavalry one because its always brought up in documentaries. While Poland still used cavalry it was not in an offensive role and served more for recon since the polish army did not posses any scout cars like other nations. there was one time when a Calvary unit attacked a small German infantry unit but were counter attacked by a group of panzer ii's but it was not a cavalry charge against entrenched or armored units.
RE: What country had the best trained infantry in WWII?
I would give it to the Germans for most of the war up until the final year or two but even then they always seemed to give the Allies a few surprises. The only other Nation that could compete would be the British commonwealth (all countries fighting as members of the commonwealth since there were so many and on so many fronts) because they had at least a very professional army in the pre war years where as countries like USA, had a very small standing army. However we are talking about man to man and this would have to go to the Germans because they were physically fit like athletes, very dedicated to their commanders and leaders, and they had very good understanding on how to use their equipment. However as the war progressed the crack troops Germany started the war with became less and less do to losses on all fronts. To sum it all up Germany had the best soldiers through most of the war right up untill the end where as the allies would spend the war trying to catch up and would often get caught by the German tactics examples being the battle of the buldge, the battle of Normandy, the Battles of Sicily and Italy.
RE: First time playing Germany
The way I view Germany and Italy is like this. Germany is your big powerhouse, you want Germany to making as much income as possible from territory and bonuses because they will need to make big investments in air and armor as well as troops when you invade Russia, also I find that if you can get a German naval and ground force operating alongside Italy you can guarantee victory in Africa and the middle east since it requires big investments from USA and Britain to knock out. Italy has 3 priorities, getting control of the med, Getting control of Egypt (also want Germans in there so they can get a bonus) and either take the middle east or take south Africa. Some players like to use Italy in Russia as well but I find this just weakens Italy's efforts in Africa.
RE: Questions on Axis Strategy
Im not the best Axis player but this is usally how I play and I have won a few games with this strategy.
Barbarossa I usually wait till round 3 Unless the Italians have a really good first 2 rounds in the Med in which case ill put more ground units into the turn 2 buy and send them east.
Moving starting units, first make sure you take Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Greece as Germany. Germany will be your big spender for the Axis so they need more territory this allows them to build the Atlantic wall, support in the Med (if needed) and focus the majority of its efforts on Russia. as for movement after taking France I send everything from mech to tank east, troops are for occupation, sometimes I prep a mech force to go to Africa from southern France but other then that just use infantry and AAA to occupy western Europe untill the Allies are in a really good position to invade.
As for taking Moscow the best rout I have found is going North taking novograd for the factory then going hard for Moscow, how ever do not abandon a force in the Ukraine otherwise you can run into big problems, if you can get the factory in the Ukraine you will be in a good position.
J1 attack is very hard to do because you dont have the troop ships to hit the big targets or "chedder" as i call it ( the duth east indies, borneo, Java, Sumatra) however an early attack will usally suck up british troops heading to the middle east and could give Italy a naval advantage in the med.
Italy needs to get control of the med as soon as possible, this can be done if you play your fleet close to your air assets and constantly land fresh troops in Africa to capture Egypt, replacing ships in early game is hard for Italy since they dont make much so you have to be careful not to leave your ships open to large attack from the British air and Navy, I find subs and troop ships are good buys to help this.
Bulgaria should go to Germany
If you decide to go after Stalingrad you should build up the finish force to eventually take Leningrad I have never been able to take Stalingrad without holding Leningrad because the Russians can build a big force really fast if you dont do spoiling attacks and take away territory
Japans best move is to take Malaya then build up a naval force as well as a ground force in Shan state before the Brits are able to really get dug in, example I wasnt able to get a big enough Japanese force to take India so within 3 turns the brits were able to outnumber me 3 to 1
Sea lion is a good way to get the British to put money and effort into defending England, if you but 4 troop ships on round 1 and the Brits put more of their force into Africa and don't build a ground force then i say go for it. if the brits dig in on England then don't bother, build a u boat fleet to harass the brits.
Buy your units but position them in such a way as Russia dosnt know what your target is, Ill take poland, besserabia, and baltics in round 1 then go for Ukraine to draw forces south then go hard center for Moscow.
G1 is based on taking all French territory and hurting the british fleet so everything you have west plus your air should be put into the attack, priority on France and Normandy to prevent a counter attack.
RE: Air raids
Im thinking more for the Allies, the only good bombing for Germany would be to hit the factory in the Ukraine or Novograd since it would make it easyier to capture those positions. The Allies however can do more damage by hitting the french factories as well as the factory in Western Germany because it forces the Germans to spend IPC on repairs instead of equipment and troops which can really hurt their war effort.
RE: Russian eastern infantry
I always play depending on what the Japanese do, are they putting large numbers of units in Manchuria and Korea?, are they about to knock China out and have a big force on the Russian border? If Japan makes these moves I say build up using mech from Moscow and maybe a couple of tanks (if you can spare them) and either attack if you think it will give the Allies a big advantage and hurt japan bad or just dig in and wait for the attack. If Japan does not put any big numbers facing Russia then I like to send units west gradully. yes it takes time but I have had games where I was able to save Moscow using those troops so it can work out much like it did historically.

Some things are worth a little inconvenience,although I could do without the congestion.
Anyway, my main reason for making this latest library haul was to pick up a copy of Cheryl Strayed's Wild that was on hold for me. Yes, I know this book has been out for quite some time now(long enough to be adapted into a Reese Witherspoon movie and a plot point on Gilmore Girls:AYITL) but it feels like the right time for me to check it out.
Even with it's popular success, opinions are varied about this memoir in which Strayed chronicles her trek on the Pacific Crest Trail, a thousand mile journey that seasoned hikers consider daunting. As a means to clear her mind upon the death of her mother and other personal issues, that trip does sound a bit much yet if you think of it as a spirit quest of sorts(don't know if Strayed felt that way,just my own notion), this is certainly the physical and emotional challenge to take there.
I haven't seen the movie and will probably wait until I finish the book to watch it. I'm sure it's a fine adaptation but like Lorelai Gilmore, I'm a book person first,so it'll be better to experience Wild that way in the beginning:
Falling's leading lady is Emma, an English woman who jumped the pond in order to pursue a high profile career in Manhattan. She makes another jump into a new life in Westport,CT, by choosing a beach rental house as the start of her home improvement business.
Fortunately for her, new neighbor Dominic happens to be eager to assist in rebuilding the house and interested in a little romance as well. Emma is drawn to him but resistant for many years, including not wanting to interfere with Dominic's tentative bond with his son Jesse. However, love may be able to smooth over those potential rough spots.
With Valentine's Day coming up, this sounds like a nice,relaxing read and Green does know her way around a solid romantic story structure. Yep, this definitely is the type of book to curl up with a warm cup of tea by:
Part of my current reading joy these days has been Melanie Benjamin's The Girls in the Picture, about the long term bond between movie queen Mary Pickford and ground breaking screenwriter/director Frances Marion. It's a smartly written and timely novel that really brings old school Hollywood to life.
Naturally, upon realizing that I have a new author's work to explore, I needed to own another one of her books and chose The Swans of Fifth Avenue as my next stop into Benjamin country. The swans in the title refer to a group of high society ladies in New York during the 1950s and 60s, lead by queen bee Babe Paley. Her preferred escort was Truman Capote, who eagerly took part in their social scene and exchanged many a confidence among this superficial circle of friends.
However, it was Paley who took the heat when Truman publishes a thinly veiled version of a hushed up scandal as a magazine story, causing several rifts and matters of trust to be shattered. This slice of socialite pie certainly does sound appetizing and more juicy than any dessert should be:
I've only read this story once,back in 2012 to be exact(thank you,Goodreads, for that date!) and even seen a TV adaptation of it. The plot is simple enough yet quite challenging as Miss Marple's dear friend Dolly Bantry is anxious to discover just how the dead body of an unknown young woman wound up in her home library.
The solution is not hard to reach at first but it's only the start of a greater mystery to be unfolded. This promises to make for an excellent reread(perhaps during Spring Into Horror this April?) and the stylish book lined cover art makes this ideal as a gift to reopen again and again:
Well, hopefully this cold will have run it's full course before the end of the week and I can relax with my books a bit more. It helps to think about the warm weather to come in the spring, along with a special new PBS series called The Great American Read. Now that's going to cause many new trips to the library and not just for me!:

Dominican Republic tourism captures the delights of both families traveling with children, and couples traveling alone together. For a family holiday, there is certainly plenty to do, and it's very good value for your travel dollars. For couples, it is also a good value, but it is probably the most romantic holiday imaginable.
There is an incredible amount of information available about vacations and Dominican Republic tourism. Here's a few insider tips from people who live here.
The Food
The food is good! Really, really good. The variety is not the same in a small town as it is in some of the bigger cities. Most of the dishes use the same basic ingredients. As a result, you find some rice, beans, a few veggies or a small salad, and meat on your plate. The meat could be fish or shellfish or chicken. The Habichuelas Guisadas, or Stewed Red Beans is a staple. Everyone's recipe is a touch different, but they are all delicious! Mix some bean sauce with your rice and you will probably look for the recipe back home.
Italian food is everywhere, so pasta is on many menus. Hamburgers and fries are also common, although not considered a specialty. BBQ meat called parillas are also pretty common and absolutely fantastic! It seems like ice cream, and sometimes frozen yogourt, are on every corner.
Due to tourism, beach towns might have pricier options for food. Besides that, the prices are still pretty reasonable. Certainly, the atmosphere and views make it all worthwhile.
Santo Domingo
Many tourists specifically come to the Dominican Republic just to visit Santo Domingo. While it is is "oldest city in the new world" it is also the largest city in the Caribbean. First, be sure you visit the Malecon. An evening stroll on the seaside walkway takes you for almost half the length of the city. The good, solid pavement makes it easy to walk its length. There are attractions for children and food stalls along the way.
In Santo Domingo you can visit the refreshing parks in the city or go shopping in the big shopping centers.
Do not forget to visit the monuments of the Colonial Zona and breathe the history still present between the walls and the narrow streets of the old city
Cabarete is the place in the Domincan Republic for adventure sports. Kite surfing is so popular that when you go to the beach the horizon is full of kites. Ziplines and cave tours, mountain biking and wind surfing are all here! Cabarte seems like a teeming, one-street town with restaurants, cafes, shops and bars. It is rather like a combination of a small town in Central America and a beach town in Thailand. Charming, and worth seeing.
Be sure to see Santo Domingo when you come visit, and Cabarete is probably just as good a choice, too. We hope you enjoy the Dominican Republic, come visit soon!

Still Life - Minute Books
My Editor's been away for the last couple of days visiting her Mum. I decided against holding a series of wild parties (did you think I would?!) and decided to knuckle down to some jobs that have been waiting for a while.
I've been promising to do one of these jobs for almost 4 years (and it's a little over 4 years since I started blipping...I wonder if there could be some connection between that and not getting other jobs done...?!!).
The task in hand is to sort through the archives of the North of England Ophthalmological Society, of which over the years I've been a member, Trustee, Hon Secretary and President and latterly have had the honour of being made a Life Member (so I don't need to pay my £25 pa subs any more!). When they were asking for someone to do this sorting I foolishly volunteered, thinking that being quite newly retired at the time I'd have lots of time (silly me!!). So since Wednesday I've spent several happy hours leafing through old agenda & minute books, letters, synopses of talks, etc, etc. Lots of this paperwork has gone in the rubbish pile (we don't really need to keep copies of letters about a member's change of address 35 years ago) but some of it has been really interesting and is worth keeping. I guess that's not surprising as the Society was founded in 1914: one of the interesting things has been reading the letters discussing how to cope with problems during the World Wars (quite topical as we approach the centenary of 11/11/1918).
Once I've finished with the sorting, the archives are going for safe storage in a library somewhere in the region.
And so to my blip. I've only rarely attempted "still life" photos - I'm not very good at them, probably because I don't have an artistic bent so I'm hopeless at setting them up. But I thought today I'd have a try at a simple one. I chose a couple of the books - the upright one is open at its first page, concerning the initial founding of the Society back in 1914. Candle lighting seemed an appropriate choice...once I found where my Editor had hidden the decorative candle, and after I'd sawn a bit off the top to allow oxygen to get to the wick!
Please look large if you've time.

7/7 : contemplation after a terrifying and confused day
Seeing our camera and tripod, tourists around St Paul's and Aldgate constantly approach to ask what is going on. No need for any inquiries a decade ago as the streets fell empty.
At least 40 people have been killed and hundreds injured after a series of bombs went off in the Afghan capital of Kabul on Friday.
Channel 4 News has learned that the dead Afghan Taliban chief's relatives are refusing to swear allegiance to his successor.
Akhtar Mansoor calls for unity among the jihadi group in a new audio recording – but Mullah Omar's replacement is already causing bitter divisions in the Islamist militant group.
The office of the Afghan president confirms in a statement that the leader of the Afghan Taliban, Mullah Omar, died two years ago.
Seeing our camera and tripod, tourists around St Paul's and Aldgate constantly approach to ask what is going on. No need for any inquiries a decade ago as the streets fell empty.
With hundreds of migrants being rescued daily from overloaded boats in the Mediterranean, the EU is struggling to agree on an adequate response to the new arrivals.
The Taliban attacks the symbolic heart of Afghanistan's fragile new democracy as the new defence minister is sworn in.
A suicide car bomber rammed a European Union vehicle near the main airport in Kabul, killing at least two Afghans and a British national in the latest attack in the city, officials say.
A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist is panned for trashing the official version of the Osama bin Laden assassination – so should we start believing other outlandish theories about the killing?
The trial of four men suspected of murdering a woman falsely accused of burning the Koran, has shown the suffering still faced by Afghan women, Nelufar Hedayat writes.
President Obama apologises to the families of hostages Giovanni Lo Porto and Dr Warren Weinstein, saying he takes "full responsibility" for their deaths during a US counterterrorism operation.
While the bravery and sacrifice of British troops is not in doubt, British strategy in Afghanistan does not bear up well under scrutiny.
Services are held to commemorate British soldiers who fought and died during the Afghan campaign. But in Afghanistan, there are fears the Taliban could link up with IS and retake the country.
A series of newly released images show the late Osama Bin Laden inside his Tora Bora compound in the Afghan mountains.
Barack Obama confirms the death of Kayla Mueller, a US aid worker who had been held hostage by Islamic State militants.

The second AntiView in the row more to come soon!
Born in Germany, British nationality and living in the US That must be Tiger Shark!
Tiger Sharks profile on AntiOnline
Name: Tiger Shark, (pleading the 5th on the real name - too easy to find me on the internet from previous lives - all above board I can assure you - but I don't really want my street address linked to this online personality....
Place and date of Birth (or age): Munich, Germany though I am British... My father was studying at university there.
Current place of residence:Detroit, MI, USA
Marital status: Single, and my sweetie and I intend to leave it that way for the foreseeable future.
AO: How did you get into computers?
Tiger: I started "playing" with them while in the military in 1982. I saw an ad for a Sinclair ZX-81 and thought it would be cool.... I was then given computer related tasks in the military when they came up.
AO: What is your area of specialty?
Tiger: My designated tasks within my company revolve around the network level... WAN's, LAN's, network level troubleshooting, firewalls, IDS, General Security, publicly accessible services such as email, HTTP, VPN etc.
AO: What do you do for a living?
Tiger: Manager of Information Systems.. Or, as I prefer to introduce myself in meetings, "Chief Geek"
AO: How did you get into your career?
Tiger: It was pure dumb luck. After getting to the USA I got a job as a Customer Service Rep for a micrographics company, (I needed a job... OK..). They had a Compaq "portable" that no-one was using, (a 286). It had DBase III on it and I started programming databases to help manage the customer base. Pretty soon I was the most proficient in the shop on their own computers/Novell network so they made me systems specialist. Then I was trained in their mainframe software we gave to clients and before long I was the District Systems Specialist for PA, DE, NJ, NY and RI.... Then I left there and got my current job as the Manager of Information Systems and have been here for the last 12 years.
AO: Describe your education and/or training?
Tiger: Err... Low... No degree. For the Brits here I have 5 O levels and the equivalent of a City and Guilds (grade 1(?)) in Aeronautical Science gained through my time flying in the Air Force.
AO: Do you plan on staying where you are (career-wise) or are you still in school / working on certs to get into another area?
Tiger: I like where I am... The pay is fine and the pressure is low. I really don't want to work 70 hour weeks but will do if I have to. Ten years in the military 24/7 sort of beat that "I must work every waking hour" thing right out of me....
AO: What one piece of advice would you offer to others who may be interested in following a career path or educational path similar to yours?
Tiger: If you don't love it you'll never be any good at it and if you aren't any good at it you will be paid what you are worth or less and will always be the first to be without a job in hard times. You have to want to visit http://isc.sans.org right after you get up every morning to see what is going on....
AO: What skill do you think is invaluable in your area of specialty?
Tiger: There's no single skill or quality in my opinion....
A good general knowledge of your systems and a detailed knowledge of how this "network thingy" works. Without them troubleshooting becomes "shooting in the dark" and security is simply impossible. Oh, and did I say you have to enjoy it..... Staring blankly at logfiles is mind warpingly boring if you either don't want to or you have no idea what you are looking at or for.... Then you need a healthy dose of suspicion in your personality, (paranoia can be a good thing), coupled with a healthy competitiveness, (they aren't going to beat me and get in here).
AO: Describe one of your best / most effective security practices.
Tiger: Attention to detail... though I am as guilty as the worst of us at being complacent sometimes. If you don't attend to the details someone you don't want attending to them might do it for you.... That would be considered a "bad thing"....
AO: Do you have a little-known fact about yourself (personal, hobbies, tech-related) that you would be willing to share?
Tiger: Little known... That would be something I don't "brag" about.... I cried my heart out each time I had to put my German Shepherds down both within 18 months, (Hank at 9 years with an incurable disease and Emma, (my first dog), at 14 years due to hip failure)... Yes, I am a softie.... But usually only with animals....
AO: How did you find Antionline?
Tiger: I don't remember, but it was probably dumb luck again... I get a lot of that in my life.... But that's ok....
AO: Anything else you'd like to share?
Tiger: I like beer and it seems to be quite fond of me too...

2019 promises to be an exciting year for the Miss Universe Barbados (MUB) brand.
The show, which has been slated for September 7, has a new home at the Hilton Barbados. National director of Miss Universe Barbados Brian Green made the announcement at the media launch and introduced the crème de la crème who will compete for the coveted title on September 7.
The nine ladies who have been selected after a scrutinous casting process are: Jeunessa Banfield, Shaunice Griffith, Hilary-Ann Williams, Jillisa Gibson, Shanel Ifill, Beviny Payne, Safiyyah Abdul-Razzak, Kristen Asha and Alexandra Ortiz.
Green disclosed that theme for this year's competition, The Future is Female was inspired by the Barbados' first female Prime Minister, Mia Mottley.
"We believe that our ladies of 2019 truly represent the future of Barbados and we are thrilled to have them as cast," Green said during his address.
He revealed that the level of interest and participation in the Miss Universe Barbados pageant was impressive. He reported that 5.5 million people from across the Caribbean, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Toronto watched the show live. The brand also attracted one million individual impressions on Facebook and 700, 000 on Instagram. Green said there were high expectations for this year's showcase and new sponsors have come on board.
The competition's format remains the same – a replica of the Miss Universe format. It includes preliminary interviews with judges, swimsuit, evening gowns, the top five and top three question segments and the crowning of the 2019 Miss Universe Barbados.
Describing the reign of Miss Universe Barbados 2018, Meghan Theobalds, as exemplary, Green said that Theobalds has made her island proud.
"Meghan has been an [outstanding] example of the best of Barbados and we are so thrilled to have her wear our crown and represent our country and our brand," he commented.

Show me what you know! Don't forget to take your time over this and copy it into a text document first in case the website won't accept your answers
Here are our first 'snapshot' recordings. Your job is to offer suggestions for these groups in the comments box at the bottom. Please read my feedback for each group and check back for what others have said so you know exactly what you need to do in the next lesson!
Group 1
Pitching of this is good-you have started on a note that fits with the piano part.
Be careful of the rhythm. Count along with the origninal song (there are 4 beats in each bar) and work out where each line starts in relation to the beats
Use less of the first song, perhaps just one verse and one chorus.
Recording 2
Group 2
Nicely sung and you started on the note each time.
Fit each one to the backing track, you might need to slow or speed up thetempo of your bit to fit it in
Recording 2
Group 3
I like how you have written your own lyrics and melody
Listen carefully to each line, does it have a clear pulse? If not you might need to tweak the words to fit
Keep the backing track on a few times so as you compose this, you can hear how it could fit with the chord pattern we are using.
Group 4
Listen to the original songs from your last 2 and count the beats, your songs have 4 beats per bar. Work out where each line starts so you know how long to wait
Recording 2
Group 5
Hasn't uploaded yet
Recording 2
Add some harmonies, rehearse the section where you all sing together and organise a beginning and ending
Group 6
I like how you found an app to do this for you. I'm interested in how you are planning to use your voices to add to this next lesson.

Y'all been waiting on that Lou Jacobs letter long enough. But first read noted Attorney Terry Gilbert's preamble for "American Lawyer I: Christopher King is a Dangerous Black Man." Now read between the lines to see that Attorney/Professor Jacobs is basically saying I'm not perfect, but that I was getting shagged hard and put away wet. Then there's last week's Cleveland Plain Dealer editorial by Terry H. Gilbert, another mentor (and former boss) who wrote a premble for the movie that ran in Cambridge and Boston public access "American Lawyer: Christopher King is a Dangerous Black Man."
It's all about Due Process. Don't forget about the damn Due Process letter I sent to Assistant Attorney General Stratton before I moved to Dismiss the Unauthorized Practice of Law case. No wonder Chief Dunn was so upset after I laid waste to the State's arguments. But remember: He could have taken the stand, but failed to.
PS: Let's see them try to keep that Lou Jacobs letter out from before a Jury -- criminal or civil -- considering he sits on the damn ethics panel. Remember, they're the ones who brought up my suspension in the First Place.
PPS: For interesting discourse on Blacks & Jews, and my interview with former Boston Globe writer Jonathan Kaufman "Broken Alliance," peep this Daily Kos thread.
FWIW I personally have never had a problem with Jewish people; we've helped each other through the years too much for that bullshit.

HDR panoramas demoed Thursday at SF PUG
"In just over 2 months," reports Photoshop PM Zorana Gee, the San Francisco Photoshop User Group has "already gotten 380 members!" Tomorrow they'll host a talk by photographer Lisa Yimm:
A photographer and VFX artist with a BFA in Photography, Lisa is the co-founder of HDR-VFX, based in Nyack, NY. Last year, she spent over 7 months on the road shooting HDR panorama-based virtual tours of Lexus Dealships across the US.
Things get underway at the Adobe SF office around 7pm. Here are the full details.
combining HDR and pano stitiching is a terrific technique, especially for interiors (whether we're talking photos of real estate, architecture or classrooms). CS4 has made good results much easier to achieve. I didn't say "easy", but easier. Of course, I think it's fun regardless of the challenge. And I sure coulda used that automatic pano head…

La Rochelle Fishing Charters
La Rochelle Fishing Charters is located in Trou Aux Biches, Mauritius. If you want to explore the aquatic opportunities of the Indian Ocean, you have found the right place.
Trou Aux Biches is a tourist village on the island's northwest, acknowledged as one of the world's most beautiful beaches back in 2011. Generations have been inspired by the marine potential of the area, so it's no wonder that fishing is the village's main activity. Trou Aux Biches is famous for its white sands, the biodiverse blue lagoon, as well as colorful bungalows and hotels along its coast.
La Rochelle Fishing Charters is a team of professional fishermen with a lifelong passion for the ocean. When it comes to fishing techniques utilized, the La Rochelle crew are very experienced in big game fishing but are also happy to do bottom fishing, drift fishing using live bait, jigging, and even surfcasting.
The crew's top priority is to put you on fish and make sure you have an outstanding experience on the Mauritian waters. They will take you fishing for Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna, Dogtooth Tuna, Black Marlin, Blue Marlin, and who knows what else?
You will be fishing aboard the La Rochelle. She is a 26' game fishing boat, powered by twin 25 HP Yamaha engines.

At Kundalini House in North Fitzroy, our experienced Chinese Medicine practitioners work with Traditional and Classical Chinese Medicine Acupuncture and Herbs. We are passionate about providing you with skilled practitioners and have a dedicated team working throughout the week to look after your needs.
Chinese Medicine is an ancient art, which recognises that each person exhibits patterns and behaviours in response to disease and ill health. We are all individuals and will respond differently to illness, viruses and environment influences. This concept is important and is where the strength of Chinese Medicine lies. With this in mind your practitioner tailors your treatment to suit your individual requirements and may use: acupuncture, cupping, massage, gua sha, herbs and diet and lifestyle advice to help you achieve health.
Chinese Medicine is a medicine that focuses on health and creating vitality (yang), to allow you to heal and flourish. Stimulating the body's natural function to help it to heal. Chinese Medicine holds the health of the body, mind and spirit as all equal and important. When the mind and spirit are light and clear, the health of the body will follow.
We believe in supporting and listening to you on your health journey and are happy to work with you and your other health professionals to achieve this.
Please speak with one of our Acupuncture practitioners if you would like to discuss your health further. 03 9482 4325

Our Acupuncturists in North Fitzroy are qualified to help support you if you have been involved in a Motor Vehicle Accident and are covered with TAC.
TAC can pay the reasonable costs of an Acupuncture session, without prior approval, when it is required as a result of a transport accident injury. Please contact TAC to ensure your injury is covered for this service.

If your accident was prior to 14th February 2018 you may need to meet the medical excess before we can invoice the TAC for treatment. Please check with TAC before your appointment.
Chinese Herbs
Chinese Herbs may be prescribed in conjunction with your Acupuncture treatment. At Kundalini House we strive to source organic herbs where possible and our granules are tested for heavy metals to ensure your safety. No endangered plants or animals are used in our practice.
Please speak with your practitioner if you think you are pregnant or are on any medications or have allergies.
Cosmetic Acupuncture
Creating beautiful skin means not only softening lines, but creating an inner glow that people notice. Cosmetic Acupuncture uses a holistic approach to achieve a fresher, glowing complexion without using harsh soaps, chemicals or medical intervention.
Super-fine, sterile needles are inserted into the face to activate or release muscles as required; this may boost circulation of blood and lymphatic fluid, plumping up the skin and smoothing its appearance. A cosmetic acupuncture session also includes facial Gua Sha (massage) to further stimulate circulation and create "microtrauma"; this microtrauma can prompt fibroblasts in the skin to produce more collagen, which has the effect of filling out skin and smoothing out lines.
Great skin starts from within, so your practitioner will also enquire and treat all areas of your health to achieve the best result. And may use not only Acupuncture but Herbal medicine, dietary and lifestyle adjustments.
Fine needling the skin on the face may be able to address:
- puffy skin
- fine lines & wrinkles
- some discolourations, or uneven skin tone
- dull or dry skin
- scars
- tension
Best results are achieved with a block of 10 weekly sessions. This 10-week block can be repeated after a short break if there are other areas that the individual would like to work on.
CONTRAINDICATIONS: Cosmetic Acupuncture is contraindicated in pregnancy, when the body's energy is directed towards building new life. It is also contraindicated when the immune system is busy fighting a cold or manifesting an allergic reaction.
It is also recommended that migraine patients be migraine-free for a minimum of 3 months before commencing cosmetic acupuncture treatment.

I was in regards to obtain toward a ramp (the airport bypass to Swenson), & I was en voyage the speed of traffic. Even with NO vehicles behind me, Mr. Mazda came up from the right hand side moving at least a good eighty MPH to cut me off to obtain on the ramp himself! Ugh. So then... I was in a lane, & to my right (slightly ahead of me on the diagonal) was a SUV. At this point, the Mazda was behind the other guy & attempting to merge into the lane I was in. Once again, rather of standing by to safely obtain behind me to merge, he floored the gasoline & SQUEEZED between me & the SUV, almost clipping the front of my auto AND the back of the SUV next to me!!! Congratulations! You beat us to the red light! I hope you're proud. JERK.

On a sunny day in late April 1997, several of us media-types visited a dusty building project off south Interstate 25 for our first look inside what would become the Colorado Springs World Arena.
The construction superintendent, Dave Ervin of GE Johnson Construction, spent two hours that day sharing endless information about the effort and detail going into the new arena, as well as how much he appreciated being able to help erect a new showplace for the city. He knew the World Arena would create its own history, just like its predecessor, the old Broadmoor World Arena across the lake from the famous resort hotel.
Ervin had grown up here as a regular spectator at the old arena, watching Colorado College hockey games and other events. But he talked about spending the rest of his life enjoying the new arena even more, because he knew how every beam, every piece of wiring and every layer of cement had fit into place.
Except it didn't work out that way. Tragically, just 10 weeks later, Ervin was killed in a car accident at age 46, just six months away from the World Arena's opening. He had spent half his young life with GE Johnson, helping build everything from the Double Eagle casino and hotel in Cripple Creek to prisons and schools, but he never had the chance to experience the thrill of his construction career, built for the Pikes Peak region to enjoy for years to come.
Last week, on the Thursday night of March 16, those memories of Dave Ervin came back, vivid as ever.
With my wife and adult son, I once again went to the place now known as Broadmoor World Arena, this time for a concert by music legend Sir Elton John.
We made our way through the huge crowd that jammed the concourse, passing by many of the personalized ceramic tiles paid for by everyday people who donated to the arena fundraising campaign, including our family. We found our seats and as the sellout throng settled in, I marveled at how the arena looked and felt as spiffy and fresh as when the doors first opened in January 1998.
Much has improved through the years, from the sound system and video screen/scoreboard (for sports) to the modernized and themed concessions and bars, the first-rate food service operation and even the murals at entrances to the restrooms. But the arena itself remains a polished, sparkling jewel, untarnished after nearly 20 years of constant use.
As Sir Elton hammered away at his electrified grand piano on such iconic tunes as "Bennie and the Jets," "Rocket Man," "Tiny Dancer" and "Crocodile Rock," I remembered he played the World Arena in 2009. But that was just a solo show with a piano. This time, for whatever reason, became a bigger deal.
Something about this particular night stood out, like what ESPN might label as an instant classic.
We found out the next day that this concert had set World Arena records for the most tickets sold in its 19-year history (more than 9,000), the highest-grossing single event (not released, but probably in the $1 million range, since tickets ranged up to $145 on the floor) and the fastest sellout (24 minutes after the public sale began, with the longest lines arena staff could remember).
The crowd was pumped, and Sir Elton responded in true form, with his five-man band — several have toured with him 40-plus years — providing all the musicianship and backup vocals. They rocked for more than two hours nonstop, then returned for a two-song encore. They made no compromises to the passage of time, belting out song after song to match the memories.
We could make a long list of unforgettable events that have taken place inside that building, not just concerts but hockey, skating, touring productions and even political conventions.
But something about this particular night stood out, like what ESPN might label as an instant classic. It was that special. I asked for an assessment from Dot Lischick, the only general manager the World Arena has ever had (starting before GE Johnson built the World Arena Ice Hall as an adjacent training facility).
Her response: "Absolutely, it was special to all of us, with the big crowd and the 360 (meaning people in every section, 360 degrees around the stage). And then the length, playing as long as he did without a break. It was just a wonderful night in every way."
Lischick put this show in the arena's highest echelon with the likes of the Eagles (2002), Sting, Riverdance and very few others. The only conclusion I offer: You could never see a better concert in Colorado Springs, period.
And thank goodness enough people were determined to get the arena done, from leaders like Bill Hybl and Peter Susemihl to the many contributors who wrote small checks.
But as we look ahead now to the Broadmoor World Arena celebrating its 20th anniversary next January, we must make sure to remember some of the other people who made it happen.
For me, that list has to begin with Dave Ervin.

Embody Truth, is just that… it is about fully embodying our energetic sense of self, or feltsense in any given moment, as this is where the truth lives. And the truth shall set you free! In this sense truth is the realization of self. In some way, you could say it is where the soul (spirit) meets the body (matter)… and this integration to unity provides a transformation, which of course includes an expansion of our awareness and sense of self, in the present moment. In the fullest practice of this, our nervous system evolves to integrate all that is experienced into a sense of wholeness, or a heart centred presence, free from the past and future. Embodiment takes us out of time, into the present moment. Embodiment also takes us out of duality into oneness (non-dual). When we embody something completely the illusion dissolves and the truth is realized. Embodiment requires that the nervous system completes any unfinished business (trauma). In this there is an innate sovereignty where we reclaim our power by reowning our projections, by becoming 100% responsible for our experience.
This is an integral approach. Our sense of self is not an idea in the mind of who we are. Our sense of self is an energetic in-body experience of our own source energy, or our subconscious mind. It is said that the subconscious mind process 40,000 pieces of information a minute. The conscious mind only processes 40. Embodiment is about making the subconscious conscious.

Spireites midfielder Ollie Banks spoke about the team's growing confidence after extending their unbeaten run to five games with a 1-0 away win over promotion chasers Southend United.Lee Novak scored his 14th goal of the season late on to secure another three points on the road for Danny Wilson's side against difficult opposition at Roots Hall.
Banks said: "It's a great win. It's a tough place to come and we've not had much luck coming down here in recent years but we put that right today with a great result.
"If you go in the dressing room now, you can see what it means to everyone, you can see at the end what it means to everyone, we're just delighted with the points.
"We came to win the game. There was no plan to come here for a draw. We've got massive confidence boost coming in from the last three or four weeks, so why couldn't we come here and get all three points?
"We're not looking down, we're looking to get as many wins as possible until the end of the season and see where that can take us."
The 24-year-old has impressed in midfield for the Spireites recently and nearly added to the list of recent wonder goals with a curling shot from the right hand side, as well as assisting the winning goal.
He added: "I had four or five shots, a couple went over and the 'keeper saved a few but as long as I was able to play Lee (Novak) through at the end, that's more important to me.
"I saw Jay (O'Shea) on the ball and made a run forwards. I've actually gone for the ball down the line but he's played it into my feet, which I wasn't expecting.
Luckily the defender managed to put it back into my path and I've put Lee in and once he was in on goal there was only one place it was going."
Banks also praised his fellow midfielders after an excellent performance, he commented: "Lidds (Gary Liddle) does a great job, he gets us ticking and breaks things up really well. He helps the defence out and sets us up on attacks.
"Connor (Dimaio) is great to play with as well, I feel like we're bouncing off each other quite well."

300 000 € pour la protection de l'environnement en Jordanie
The Agence Française de Développement (AFD) awarded a €300,000 grant to the Government of Jordan in support of environmental performance in Jordan, in the framework of AFD's ongoing Green Lending Program. The grant agreement was signed in December by the Minister of Planning and International Cooperation (H.E. Dr. Ibrahim Saif), the French Ambassador to Jordan (H.E. Ambassador Caroline Dumas), and the Acting Director of AFD's representative office in Jordan (Serge Perrin), and will be coordinated by the Ministry of Environment.
This grant will complement AFD's €40M (approximately USD 53 million) Green Credit Lines extended to Cairo Amman Bank and Capital Bank of Jordan, by allowing for the implementation of a Technical Assistance to the banks in the identification and appraisal of environmental performance projects. It will scale up green investments in Jordan in the fields of pollution abatement and natural resources protection, in line with the Kingdom's strategy in terms of sustainable environment.
In the framework of its close ties with Jordan, France provided assistance to Jordan's developmental efforts in several sectors, notably in the water and energy sectors. During 2012-2013, the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) provided Jordan with a soft loan amounting to 150 million euros as direct support to the state's budget linked to the development of policies benefiting the energy sector in Jordan, in addition to the provision of financial assistance in grants for technical support in the water, energy and small and medium enterprise sectors, totaling 2.6 million euros.
Moreover during 2012-2013, the French Treasury provided Jordan with soft loans to support the Jordan Water Company (Miyahuna) and the Yarmouk Water Company, totaling (82.8 ) million euros.

Condé Nast has launched "them", a new multi-platform media brand catering to the LGBTQ community. This is the first independent brand brought out by the U.S. publishing giant since the 2007 debut of Portfolio magazine.
Catering to the LGBTQ+ community, them will be headed by Philip Picardi, 26, previously digital editorial director at Allure and Teen Vogue. The project is being steered by Anna Wintour and Pamela Drucker Mann, chief marketing and revenue officer. The aim is to offer a unique, forceful narrative experience with coverage of LGBTQ news, politics, not to mention ungendered fashion and beauty.
"If I've learned anything from my time at Teen Vogue, it's that young people are dominating our culture and they're going to shape it in a way that we really weren't expecting, particularly in matters of gender and sexuality." – Philip Picardi, talking to Business of Fashion.
Partners for the launch, slated for end October, include GLAAD (formerly the acronym for the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation), Google, Lyft and Burberry.
The magazine is also starting to shape its narrative on Instagram, creating the hashtag #oneofthem and posting daily stories from the LGBTQ community.
