HostGator hosts over 8 million domain names and also is known as one of the most reputable companies in the web hosting industry.A web host is a business of offering server space, internet solutions and also data maintenance for websites managed by the companies that do not possess their very own web servers.This post employs all the contrast key factors for Self-hostedWordPress vs Blogger.Sure, many cases to offer unlimited resources, yet that is really untrue.It is still, however, a filthy, grimy industry, where advertising and marketing continue to be the overriding problem as well as revenues are constructed upon the fundamental lack of knowledge of customers.In the early days, any type of idiot resting in his bedroom with a computer as well as a dial-up Net connection might copy and paste with each other a professional-looking website showcasing images of tall server racks, arranged in assuring rows, in a mysteriously white room, perhaps a nuclear bunker.
Relocating a WordPress site to a brand-new host isn't really difficult but it could be taxing as well as you could mess it up.Anyone can currently go to Linode or Digital Ocean as well as ignite their own VPS (Digital Exclusive Server) within half a min, for a fraction of the approximately $30 expense of the a lot of basic, one-WordPress-installation package from a specialist WordPress host.The WordPress optimized web servers are built to deliver super-fast WordPress experience with features and also energies to make website hosting easy as well as problem free.And if you can participate in the online session, we've got two WordPress experts hosting this round with a special Q&A at the end.I am typically asked to help rescue people that believed they were spending for "WordPress management" by "WordPress experts", and paid top buck for many years only to uncover, when they actually required real proficiency, it simply was not there.With the lingering perception that this stuff need to be hard, and the client's pleasure with all that WordPress could do nowadays, the specialist WordPress hosts get a whole lot a lot more credit rating than they deserve.
To obtain a genuine concept of where our top 5 hosting providers stand in comparison to each other, we decided to execute a real-world experiment by acquiring plans and placing each one to the test in an online environment.We have additionally supplied examination to hundreds of website owners with their website hosting requirements.I have been making use of various hosting services considering that 2005 and can inform you, this is the beginning of the end for specialized hosting services.Are you still standing with the predictions you made? I need to believe in a brighter future with much less (or even no) dependence on a traditional internet host.You can utilize the Automated Movement plugin to immediately download your customer's WordPress site to your developer account, meaning you do not need to squander energy hunting down information from your clients.Premium specialized managed hosts like Pantheon and Flywheel with very particular niche markets make good sense as consumers of the cloud giants, or possibly as subsidiaries, but not as solutions to replicate as well as take on price.The big cloud players do not have the facilities or capabilities to support web hosting on a huge scale.Other companies, such as Pagely and also Pressable, base their entire company models on handling WordPress installations.
Pricing of Virtual Private Servers, Dedicated Servers are going in the direction of few dollars from the Original Service Providers like OVH.From what hosting is and why it is very important to the features you need in a hosting account to the various hosting services out there as well as how they pile up against each other.I merely think they have a good channel, and finding good hosting is actually hard.In fact, the CMS comes preinstalled– you don't need to download as well as set up a WordPress installation as you 'd do when utilizing a traditional Web hosting environment.The big cloud players do not have the facilities or capabilities to sustain web hosting on a big scale.If the cloud companies try to offer to host it will certainly not work due to the fact that hosting companies own entire backbone networks as well as infrastructure created to host.
A company' customer service is only as solid as their support for their the very least most likely customer.Our Technical Support– our service– is a big component of our item (and also one of our clear differentiators in the managed WordPress hosting industry). Hosting companies don't utilize objective third celebration solutions that give you a genuine photo regarding uptime.The chart above, which consists of conventional Webhosting that offers managed WordPress hosting and also dedicated took care of WordPress solutions, offers you a fast overview of the features you could locate with each service.They start with a Business plan and also proceed to Enterprise level.Big players like EIG are having a grasp on the sector by acquiring a whole portfolio of hosting brand names, yet deliberately not consolidating them.I made use of to love their customer service as well as quick response time.However, material is created for the online search engine as well as not actual people.com ones, will be a vital competitive advantage for them as the variety of services that can be given automatically explodes in the years to coming.

Still, except for when she's trying way too hard in a rather unfortunate scene that calls for drunken ranting, Beckinsale is credible and compelling as Dana tries to make the best of a bad situation, then becomes increasingly frantic as that situation turns into something much worse.
First off, Dana is badly rattled by fleeting visions of apparitions — including a fearsome man in black (Gerald Mc Raney), his large black dog, and a little girl who appears terrified by both — that may be paranoid hallucinations or paranormal activities.
Brief flickers of heat are tantalizingly generated during a flirtation scene that recalls the first-meeting banter between Fred Mac Murray and Barbara Stanwyck in "Double Indemnity." Best of all, there is Kate Beckinsale, who gives the movie a good deal more than it ever gives her as Dana, an architect struggling to recover from the mental collapse she endured after the (maybe, maybe not) accidental death of her infant daughter.
You might think the last thing anyone in Dana's fragile emotional state should do is accept the daunting task of renovating the aforementioned country home, where she moves with her husband, David (Mel Raido), and their young son, Lucas (Duncan Joiner).
There is more mood than matter to be sampled in "The Disappointments Room," a spooky psychological thriller — or, perhaps, a psychological thriller with spooks — that is initially intriguing but ultimately, unfortunately, lives down to its title. Somewhere around the two-thirds mark, however, the movie skids off the rails as the storyline becomes at once less mysterious and more illogical, raising the suspicion that, midway through the filming, everyone involved simply tossed aside the script and started making things up as they went along.
Caruso ("Disturbia," "The Salton Sea") and scriptwriter Wentworth Miller do a reasonably efficient job of setting the table for this drama about a troubled woman who unlocks (and unearths) dark secrets after moving into a secluded and long-abandoned country home.
Worse, there are hints of last-minute editing-room surgery: One character grimly examines newspaper clippings of local murders with allegedly supernatural links, but there's absolutely no payoff for the portentous scene.
Another character's life-or-death status remains unclarified when the final credits roll, leaving it up to viewers to decide whether Dana imagined her discovery of a corpse. Production: A Rogue Pictures release of a Relativity Media presentation and production, in association with Media Talent Group and Demarest Films.
But even before Dana shows up plastered for a poorly timed dinner party, the movie devolves into a half-baked goulash of red herrings, horror-movie clichés, and dangling plot threads.
When he discovers that an earlier fling with Mary X (Charlotte Stewart) left her pregnant, he marries the expectant mother and has her move in with him.
Things take a decidedly strange turn when the couple's baby turns out to be a bizarre lizard-like creature that won't stop wailing.
"Vertigo" This is Alfred Hitchcock's romantic story of obsession, manipulation, and fear.
A detective (James Stewart) is forced to retire after his fear of heights causes the death of a fellow officer and the girl he was hired to follow. "North by Northwest" The classic suspense film finds New York City ad executive Roger O.

I recently returned coming from my last stop by at Sri Lanka with my partner. A warm country using a rich, old history, gorgeous beaches, and also stunning fantastic temples and also, of training course, cricket fans. We arranged our flight tickets online about GUSTO JOURNEYS. Colombo been the next home for me personally I has been bit excited to see there once more.
Unlike my own previous visits to the beautiful region, this moment, I wished to explore and also share my own experiences together with others by means of my website.
We ended up around 2300hrs got a pickup truck's cab to Colombo regarding Rs 2750. 00. Prices be determined by the place where you would like to go. Though Sri Lanka is linked to a community transportation method, it's always safer to hire any taxi. The main advantage of hiring any taxi to your journey to be able to Sri Lanka will be, being capable of stop everywhere and investigate or use a light food without looking forward to another community local tour bus, which usually is totally packed.
You'll find so many places to keep from invitee houses, rentals to five-star accommodations like Cinnamon fantastic, cinnamon lakeside or perhaps Hilton. In case you are on any budget excursion, you can elect to stay a standard guest residence which costs about $10 to be able to $15 each day.
There are several types of restaurants which usually serve equally local and also western food items at an inexpensive cost. The eating places and bars that line down the street and the particular beaches appeal to international style. If you might be a fish lover, it's extensively and cheaply offered by coastal locations. You can expect to have dinner on lobster, crab, and devilled (Chinese-style) big prawns at lots of the restaurants fringing the particular beach. Those who be in hotels just like Cinnamon Fantastic; they have their particular restaurants as well as other food outlets of their premises. I know like their particular LAGOON Bistro, where an individual chose the seafood from your huge display along with your chef can cook it however, you want right facing you.
A excellent meal is a thing that stimulates your entire senses. Oahu is the amalgamation regarding how that smells, seem, taste and also touch in which combine together to make a really any memorable ingesting experience of them all. Maybe that's why Sri Lankans eat making use of their hand. When eating with the hands, you are more aware with the feel and also heat of one's food.
Inside Sri Lanka, dishes are effectively garnished, multi-colored and creatively appealing, the scent has lurking aromas regarding rich spices for instance cinnamon, cardamom, and also curry results in, and the particular taste will be robust and also contrasting inside flavor. Once you add the last sense, FEEL, to this kind of mix, you obtain a entirely unique ingesting experience.
With this trip 2 times I ate their particular rice and also curry 2 times. Rice and also curry are usually their staple plate that incorporates virtually all the crucial flavors that comprise Sri Lankan delicacies. Sri Lankan takes rice and also curry regarding breakfast, lunchtime and meal too, thereforePsychology Posts, it's not difficult to get it. It really is available and also sold every one of the local bars. Simply walk out to the street you'll find many neighborhood cafes which usually serve the most effective and most affordable rice and also curry.

In the long-term, the lower high made on February 2015 suggests a weakening uptrend. However, the successful test of the strong support at 175.51 (03/02/2015 low) signals persistent buying interest. Key resistances stand at 181.07 and 185.03 (26/02/2015 high). A major support area can be found between 169.51 (11/04/2014 low) and 167.78 (18/03/2014 low).

Microsoft has hired top comic Jerry Seinfeld as part of a £150m push to promote its products.
The advertising campaign is the Redmond-based company's attempt to fight off increasing competition from Apple.
Steve Jobs' Apple firm has managed to all-but-kidnap the 'cool' status in the industry thanks to products such as the iPod and iPhone.
Seinfeld will be paid $10m in exchange for appearing in ads with Microsoft's chairman Bill Gates.
Director Michel Gondry, (The Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, Be Kind, Rewind) is reported to be directing at least one of the TV commercials.
Microsoft has refused to comment on the deal, with a spokesperson only saying, "Stay tuned, literally".
The advert is expected to debut on 4 September in the US.
The adverts obviously won't be true to Seinfeld's character in the hit show, as he had an Apple Mac in the background of his apartment…

The class- Post-natal Yoga (with baby)
The name- Little Greene Yoga
The place- The Boiler house , Hidden gardens, Tramway Museum
The time- 10.15am on Thursdays
The fees – £52 per 6 week block
The contact- firstname.lastname@example.com
Throughout my pregnancy, I delved into some prenatal yoga, just at home; some basic YouTube videos, but I got really into it – finding it so good for muscle tension and also to clear the mind after a long day carrying the extra weight from bump. After doing a bit of research in what was available for mum and baby in my local area, I discovered Little Greene Yoga and was particularly keen to get started soon after my six week post-natal check.
I contacted Veronica, who emailed over some information on class content, the advance booking system, and what I should bring along with me to class. I loved that this class was a convenient pram stroll away from my doorstep.
Although Veronica explained what was involved in mum and baby yoga, I still had no idea what to expect, really. I knew I was bringing Harris with me, but somehow I had envisioned a bunch of babies in downward dog position… far from reality.
The class is alignment based yoga and very much benefitting Mum. And, selfishly, I believe that's why I have thus far enjoyed it so much.
The Boiler Room itself is well-heated, well-lit, and cosy, creating a comfortable environment and ambiance for yoga. In the middle of the room are lots of different coloured cushions for babies to lie across, and we each brought a blanket to lie them on. We were asked to bring a yoga mat along to class, but for anyone without, there were spares.
Veronica was extremely welcoming, encouraging lots of mummy convos at the start, during and after class and she joined in with lots of helpful advice, having had children of her own. Her teaching style is very relaxed and all previous anxieties about having my crying baby disturb the relaxing zen in Yoga was soon lifted by Veronica's easy going attitude. She made us realise that it's normal for our babies to cry, and she made sure she would take the noisiest babies and either walk them round the room, or bounce them on her lap, sometimes juggling two babies at once. She's clearly a pro.
At the first class we filled out a quick health form so Veronica had some info on what type of birth we had, whether there were any complications, and then she could give her expert advice on how to approach the positions in class. Each week Veronica checked us individually for stomach separation and gave us techniques to try at home. We concentrated a lot on posture, breathing, strengthening our core and, of course for us mums, those ever so important pelvic floor exercises. I'm guilty of neglecting my pelvic floor so I liked that Veronica concentrated on strengthening techniques every week.
Veronica made it a sociable class, where she encouraged us to stay for coffee and cake afterwards in the Tramway cafe, which conveniently sells a wonderful array of cakes. As a new group of mums there are plenty of stories to share so we sat for hours after class sometimes.
I would highly recommend this yoga class to mums of all yoga capabilities.

Project Description
Lookout Bench
This Bench was designed for a Bauhaus inspired property on The Lizard, Cornwall. I wanted to design a bench which suited the Modernist styling of the house whilst also embracing its wild Cornish coastal setting. The polished stainless steel frame takes its influence from designs of Bauhaus architects Josef Albers chair and Marcel Breuer. The irregular curves on the seat and back as well as the more regular curve of the legs represent the coastal view which the bench overlooks.

Bixby Corn Stove
The Bixby Company is one of the leading lights in finding alternative energy sources to fossil fuels. Many people are worried about greenhouse gas emissions and their effect on the climate. Burning plant material, known as biomass, is a cheaper method and has less impact on the environment.
The Bixby Corn Stove, which uses dry shelled corn pellets or wood pellets, is an extremely efficient way of heating homes. The stove has been given approval to be placed in mobile homes. The two product options are the Maxfire Stove and the unusually named UBB Ugly Black Box.
The Maxfire stove has a convenient push button start and an automatic system that removes the ash. Tests of this Bixby Corn Stove have shown a remarkable 70% reduction in fuel costs, compared to other more conventional fuel sources.
It's not necessary to keep filling the fuel hopper all day as it holds two bushels and it will heat up to approximately 2,200 square feet. The stove is available in six attractive colors, namely blushtone, burgundy, navy blue, silver, black and green. There are two trim options in nickel plated or gold plated.
The UBB Ugly Black Box is not really ugly! In fact, it is a fine looking example of the Bixby Corn Stove and is even more powerful than the Maxfire, making it suitable for the home, workshop or garage. The fuel source, start up system and ash remover are the same as the Maxfire.
However, the fuel hopper is larger, holding 5.4 bushels with an optional 2 bushel extension available. This stove will heat up to approximately 3,000 square feet and comes in a steel cabinet, making it extremely durable. Both versions of Bixby Corn Stove have easy to use heat settings.
Bixby are a recently formed company but have already made a big impact n the alternative energy industry. They developed their own system of burning dry shelled corn, a fuel with many advantages. It is abundant, inexpensive and is considered to be the best biomass material around. The corn does not need any processing and it supplies a very high energy output. Warranties for the stoves are available through the dealer that supplies the customer. The company has announced other exciting innovations for 2007. They have developed a new windmill energy system and a method of using coal but without the resultant carbon emissions. It would appear that Bixby are quietly combating climate change and making great products into the bargain.

Oracle is making heavy investments in its cloud infrastructure with the addition of 12 new data center locations around the world, the company announced Monday.
"As we invest, our margins will continue to expand. And with our global datacenter expansion, we are able to help customers lower IT costs, mitigate risks and compete like they never have before," said Oracle co-CEO Mark Hurd in a statement. Mr Hurd was quoted on Business Insider.
The 12 new locations include China, India, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and South Korea in Asia, as well as Amsterdam and Switzerland in Europe. Oracle will also open two new data centers in both Canada and the US, the news website reported.
Oracle's cloud services will now have the capacity to automate key operational functions like tuning, patching, backups and upgrades while running to deliver high performance and availability, with an increased emphasis on security.
In addition, Oracle Cloud Platform is incorporating additional autonomous capabilities specific to application development, app and data integration, and analytics.
"At Oracle, we are making this a reality. We are weaving autonomous capabilities into the fabric of our cloud to help customers safeguard their systems, drive innovation faster, and deliver the ultimate competitive advantage with smarter real-time decisions," said Amit Zavery, Oracle Cloud Platform executive vice president of product development.. Mr Zavery was quoted on IT Brief Australia.
Oracle, which made its name and fortune selling on-premise databases, is in the midst of repositioning itself as a cloud provider. However, the company consistently ranks behind other tech giants – including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, Google, and IBM – in terms of market share.

Participation in the Management of a Peri-Urban Protected Forest in Northern Côte d'Ivoire: Case of the Mount Korhogo Classified Forest
AbstractThe evolution of tropical forest deforestation in Côte d'Ivoire is very alarming. From 16 million hectares in 1900, the area increased to 9 million hectares in 1965 to less than 2.5 million hectares in 2016. Even forests protected by the State of Côte d'Ivoire are not spared while peri-urban protected forests are the most exposed. The finding reveals many shortcomings in the state monopoly of protected area management. Yet, elsewhere in Africa, many experiences of participatory management have shown significant advances in protection and their introduction in Côte d'Ivoire from 1990. To understand the effectiveness of this new consultation framework adopted as a management tool, national policies and locally adopted strategies on the Mount Korhogo classified forest in northern Côte d'Ivoire have been analyzed. Results show a failure of participation at the national level since 1996 and a lack of participation at the local level. Despite the establishment of a local committee for forest defense and fight against bush fires, the lack of consultation undermines the proper functioning of this organization, thus leading to the exacerbation of deforestation.

We're breaking down who ordered what across the city… and you won't believe some of the answers!
At SkipTheDishes, we know you deserve great delivery. Whether it's a Sunday morning brunch, Wednesday's lunch at work, or late on a Friday night, we have lots of restaurant options to satisfy any craving.
We thought we'd dig a little deeper into the top cravings Vancouverites have indulged in over the past year, and what we discovered might surprise you!
It's likely not a surprise that sushi is on the list. After all, the province was one of the first North American cities to introduce sushi, and has even been dubbed the "sushi capital of North America."
But what might shock you is that in the past year alone, Vancouverites ordered a whopping 130 MILLION sushi rolls. That's a lot of wasabi! Among the most popular choices were California rolls, spicy tuna rolls, and avocado rolls. (Yum.)
But, so far in 2019, you've ordered a lot more than just sushi. We're breaking it down for you by area: Keep reading to see where you fit in!
Coquitlam, Burnaby and Kitsilano
You guys really love your butter chicken! In Coquitlam, Burnaby, and Kitsilano, butter chicken came out on top as the most ordered dish. In fact, 19,000 orders of butter chicken were placed in Burnaby alone since January 1!
The highest dollar amount spent on a single order was $685.02, which included 196 vegetable samosas! For reference, that's 15 ft 7 in of samosa, which is basically like putting two Lebron James' end to end.
Downtown and North Vancouver
In both Downtown and North Van, the most ordered items have been chicken, beef or lamb pita donairs, to the tune of 11,817 deliveries.
The biggest spend on a single order was $915.20: This is the largest order placed across all of our areas in the Vancouver area!
Ladner, Langley and White Rock
Ladner, Langley and White Rock are home to the highest number of sushi lovers. Perhaps it's no surprise to learn that the California roll was the top pick in all of these areas. These three neighbourhoods combined placed 13,700 orders for California rolls, which works out to over 109,000 individual rolls!
Surrey and North Langley
Surrey and North Langley stood out from the rest of the list. Chicken burgers were ordered most often (7,000 times!) in Surrey, with North Langley preferring something sweeter with Frosty's as their top food pick. The highest dollar amount here goes to Surrey with an enormous individual order of $549.80!
Do your ordering habits match what the rest of your area is ordering? Or do your tastes lean in a different direction?
Either way, SkipTheDishes has the choices you desire. Order food delivery or takeout online or on our app to gain access to the best restaurants in Vancouver and get the food you want, delivered.

The olden days of the white and silver and pastel coloured caravan are long gone.
Camping in the 21st century is not about making do – it's about living it up.
No more evident is this than the rows of recreation vehicles at the Caravan Camping Lifestyle Expo at Olympic Park.
There are no more walnut coloured cupboards assaulting your internal vistas – the modern caravan has a colour palate both inside and out that would please the judges from The Block.
Top of the range motor-homing can be found in the "Longreach", a $300,000 apartment on wheels.
And if you need a loungeroom bigger than a Sydney flat, you could step into the "Fremantle".
Or you could go for the Swiss chalet feel, all towable behind the family horsepower.
For some, camping means the scent of canvas in the air – which could be a traditional tent – or the jack-in-the-box type constructions that now proliferate.
The Expo will run over this weekend – but bring your Birkenstocks, because with so much hiking between points of interest, you'll need a quick arvo kip in your campside cot.

What Am I Doing?
That is the question I am asking myself. What in the world do I think I am doing? I'm not a writer! Sure, I've written a few little poems, maybe some church announcements, a prayer or two, and a short sermon for a lay- person led Sunday Service at the Congregational Church. But a book is different story, (no pun intended).
In most self-help/ inspirational/ motivational books I have read, it always seems the authors found themselves divinely inspired. In some cases I've read about actual dialog occurring from beyond. This is not my story. I do however; feel strongly compelled to explain my philosophy to as many a willing ear as I can find. This "urge" or whatever you want to call it may very well be what others have referred to as "Divine Inspiration", or just intestinal gas keeping me up at night. Whatever it is, it is not going away. So here I sit, at the keyboard trying to write!
I've been putting this off, and putting this off, trying to avoid doing it. I keep telling myself I am not qualified. I do not have proper linguistic skills. My command of the English language leaves a lot to be desired. Even if I could manage to write something worth reading, without a host of official letters following my name, who would publish it? If by some long shot I wrote something decent, and managed to find a publishing house to take shot, why would anyone read it? I am not a famous psychologist. I haven't been on Oprah. I do not have a degree in philosophy, or theology. I am just an average Joe. Who reads books written by average Joes? No one, that's who.
Well, those excuses obviously haven't worked. There are forces at work that I cannot control, (there I go with that Divine stuff again). Let me fill you in; first I find myself at a new church with my family. Than they ask me to speak about stewardship. A handful of people had a few good things to say about my message, as well as my delivery. This renewed my fondness for speaking publicly, (we'll get into my previous experience a little later). In the ensuing few years I find my self on an international mission trip, and reporting to the congregation, as well as writing an entire Sunday service. Now I got the "bug". The only problem is, I feel people aren't getting my message. The only answer is for me to write this stuff down in plain everyday language, and have the entire world read it. Then I will be satisfied. But of course I find that idea ludicrous.
I keep finding myself reading books and articles about "finding your bliss", and "answering your call", yet I keep ignoring this nudge to write. My most recent experience was my attendance at a youth event related to "Call". I was there as an adult example, a mentor if you will. A few weeks later, I was asked to author and deliver a portion of the Sunday Service at the Congregational Church, and the theme of the service was, (you guessed it), "call".
Just what is it I have to say? Well that is a little complicated. My message, so to speak, is what some call "The Truth". At least it is " The Truth" for me. I have been told I have a unique "slant" on things. But in my mind, I don't have anything to say, that hasn't been said a thousand times before, by much more knowledgeable people than myself. So, why do I feel the need to deliver this message if it has been eloquently delivered before? Because I don't think enough people heard it, or understood it.
My "philosophy", or, "theology" is more or less based on the theme of "Oneness". Christian Scripture backs everything I believe and attempt to communicate. I am a Christian, (contemporary/ liberal one) but Christian nonetheless. Conceptually, in my mind, this philosophy is simple. Yet, millions of faithful Christians would not even entertain this line of thinking, and that is what puzzles me so. There are many popular authors, and lecturers today that are putting this message out there. It just seems so difficult grasp when it is explained. I do not understand why. It is almost as though when they explain it, they speak plain English, but the audience hears it in a foreign language. When I try to discuss this in a limited space of time, I am never truly able to get my point across. More often than not, I feel people walk away thinking, that I must have gotten a hold of some bad drugs or something. I just recently saw " Good Will Hunting" with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, and Robin Williams. There was a point in the movie when Will, (a genius janitor, that had a penchant for solving mathematical problems that baffled the award winning professors), exclaimed; "I can't help it if this stuff comes easy to me"! This stuff is so simple for me, I can't understand why you have such a rough time with it". That is when it dawned on me that it was possible for me to have such clarity on a point that others found difficult to understand.
I came to believe as I do in my mid twenties. After an extremely tenuous youth, spent exploring various self indulgences, and disappointing a family that always told me I had a lot on the ball, I decided to turn my life around. After much soul searching, and 12 step group hopping, (this is the experience speaking in front of groups that I had spoken of earlier, and I loved it.) I came to my senses and regained my sanity. With much enthusiasm and zeal, the first priority I had was to determine what life was all about. This way, I would know what I was supposed to do, and what direction to head in.
Coming from a middleclass, blue collar Irish Catholic background. I was brought up going to church every Sunday, receiving the Sacraments, becoming an altar boy, and then leaving once I hit puberty. I still believed in God mind you, but I also believed a good act of contrition would wipe out any transgressions; so I could live for today, and repent when the time came. Well, senses intact, purpose defined, and a little more mature, this creed no longer worked for me. I needed to find the "Real Deal". I was not going to stop until I did.
My first stop in the bookstore was the " Inspirational / Self Help section. Books like " Creative Visualization", and " The Power of Positive Thinking", got me off to a great start. After working these "programs" I moved to amusing little parable type stories. Og Mandino's series of " Greatest" books contributed immensely toward refining my new theories. His " Greatest Secret, Greatest Salesman, Greatest Miracle", stories all had steps toward success that I could incorporate into my daily routine. By now though, I was inundated with steps, scrolls, secrets, and principals. I needed to get things a tad bit simpler. So I picked up a little book called "Jonathan Livingston Seagull". This little gem blew my world wide open. After reading this about three times in one day (you can do that it is a small book, with a tremendous message), I was now convinced that humanity, people, us, we were more than we ever imagined. Richard Bach's follow up to that is called: " Illusions Of A Reluctant Messiah". That book stayed by my side for months. Richard Bach's books confirmed for me, some of the theories I had encountered in my foray into (Self-Help) reading.
With my appetite for knowledge of this "Truth" sufficiently aroused, I felt it was time to venture into some deeper explanation of reality. I was somehow directed to Emmet Fox, and The Ten Commandments, as well as his best seller " Sermon On The Mount". These books now took the Gospel Of Jesus Christ, and tied it to more scientific terms. These writings took the mystery, and magic out of God, and made the whole concept easy to understand. My next step was an author named Joel Goldsmith, and his "Art of Meditation, and Contemplative Life", then "Deepak Chopra" followed. In as much as I was able to understand these guys, they were very difficult to read for an uneducated Joe such as myself. I kept finding myself in the land of "Metaphysical Overload". In an attempt to calm down, and get simple again, I found myself drawn toward Wayne Dyer. I love that man, he makes it all so easy to read, and or listen to. Much to my surprise, years later, Wayne Dyer, and Deepak Chopra would form an alliance and collaborate on several books, and lecture series. Now I knew I was on the right path.
Having absorbed all this beautiful literature, I now was beginning to create my own theory. Although it was very similar to each of these great writers, I seemed to deviate just a bit from each one. Then one day a good friend gave me some tapes to listen to. I still don't know how she chose this particular series, as she does not completely agree with the concept and finds it a bit" out there". ( I would hear that term applied toward me many times over the years). But the tapes I was given were Neale Donald Walsh's " Communion With God". As I listen to these tapes, I thought to myself, " if I ever wanted to write a book, I no longer needed to because he said everything I could ever say and then some" It was a very strange feeling to be reading something I really felt I could have written. The only difference was that I didn't have dialog with God for several years, writing down the answers to all my questions as God gave them to me. So now you have an idea where I am coming from. Many people have said (clergy, and theologians alike): be wary of anyone who thinks they have "IT" all figured out. But as " Will" from the movie, I have so much clarity with regard to matters of the spirit, that no one will ever be able to convince me I am wrong! Everything I will attempt to impart to you is as clear to me as anything could possibly be. This is why I feel I need to write this. If no one ever gets to read it, so be it

CHICAGO – A year ago, some might have wondered if one of the key pitchers in White Sox's rebuild was going to be able to find his form, but now it appears Lucas Giolito is pitcher as good — if not better — than most pitchers in the game today.
During his first seven starts with the White Sox in 2017, Giolito had a 6.13 ERA and 90 walks, and his 10-13 record certainly dampened some of the optimism about him. Instead of that season being a warning sign, it appears now that it was only a temporary setback. In the month of May, no pitcher in the American League was able to top him.
Chicago #WhiteSox right-handed pitcher Lucas Giolito has been named American League Pitcher of the Month for May, his first career monthly honor. Congrats, @LGio27! pic.twitter.com/U9LmEWsoPA
— Chicago White Sox (@whitesox) June 3, 2019
On Monday, Giolito was named the AL pitcher of the month, the first time he's been given the award in his four-year MLB career. It comes after a stellar month in which Giolito was at the top of his game, finding his form along with the rest of his teammates in the third year of the rebuild.
He finished the month with a 5-0 record and a 1.74 ERA, allowing just eighth earned runs in 41 1/3 innings. Just as impressive was his ability to limit walks, issuing just ten during the month while striking out 46 batters. Giolito worked into the seventh inning in four of the six starts, and the White Sox won every game which he took the mound in May. Couple that with another outstanding effort to start June on Sunday – pitching 7 1/3 shutout innings with nine strikeouts and no walks – and the pitcher is sporting an 8-1 record and a 2.54 ERA for the 2019 season.
Giolito becomes the second White Sox player this season to earn an American League honor, with Tim Anderson winning player of the month back in April. Both players are helping to accelerate the White Sox's rebuild just two months into its third year.

Pact With the Trolls
There was a place I loved during my first road trip in Norway. I remember at this time weather was terrible. We were driving on this road without being able to see much apart from the strange silhouette of some rocks and vegetation. After something like 20 minutes the road becomes steep and winding and between the rocks a huge waterfall can be perceived. We came back to the same place the following morning. Weather
The "Iceland Effect"
Since I came back from Iceland, I do not see the world with the same vision. Everything on this island is so unbelievable that most landscapes here in Norway seem tasteless, even sometimes boring … (Please don't beat me! :P). That is what I call "The Iceland Effect". This last week, since the wonderful stave churches episode, I have had much difficulties to find photographic inspiration. It was like lost. Every place, despite it's undeniable beauty,
Norwegian Wooden Wonders
As we drive through the magnificent roads of Telemark, Norway, we feel something totally different from before. Something warm. Something that was definitely missing in Iceland. Of course I do not speak about temperatures -- although definitely warmer --, but we can feel in Norway some kind of comfort. I therefore suspect the infinite pine forest dotted with traditional wooden houses surrounding us to be responsible of this feeling. Unlike Iceland, Norway is a country full
A Quick Stop in Faroe Islands
Time flies. We started to explore Icelandic grounds one month ago, already. We now have to sail back to Denmark but before, let's stop halfway between Iceland and Norway and visit Faroe Islands. Faroe Islands compose an archipelago of 18 islands and are a self governing region of the Kingdom of Denmark. However the main language here is not Danish but Faroese, a language rooted in Old Norse, pretty close to Icelandic. But as well as
Landmannalaugar and Lakagígar
This is almost the end of our Icelandic adventure and I still have a regret. There is a place I wanted to visit but due to the terrible weather we had to cancel. Fortunately we finished touring around Iceland in three weeks instead of the four weeks planned, which means that we have one week left. This is a great occasion to go back to the south of the island and visit this place called Landmannalaugar. Landmannalaúgar
In the north of Iceland, a lake is renown for its huge quantity of midges and birds : Mývatn, which means "the lake of midges". However the surroundings of this lake are also famous for something totally different, something that interests me even more : its past and present volcanic activity. First of all, let's start with a quick hike under the sun on the 2500 years old caldera of Hverfjall. The textures inside it are
Kjölur : A Foretaste of Icelandic Highlands
In Iceland, the usual way of traveling is to drive around the main road. This is an excellent way to discover most of interesting spots. However, this does not include remote places such as the Highlands which are situated in the center of the island. Here you will find sand, stones, mountains and hot springs, but also lots of wind and snow. Most of this part of Iceland is actually a desert and that's why

Industry / Consumer products
Established in 1915 in Geneva as Fabrique Genevoise de Crayons, Caran d'Ache is a manufacturer of high-end art and writing instruments, most notable among them its colored pencils. The company takes its name, adopted in 1924, from the pen name of French, Russian-born, nineteenth-century illustrator, Emmanuel Poiré. The nickname itself is based on "karandash", the Russian word for pencil. Their product offering comes in three categories: Color, which includes pencils, pastels, watercolor, and more; Writing Instruments, focusing on fountain pens; and the Office Line, a small range of really nice pens. Previously identified with separate logos and marks, Caran d'Ache recently introduced, coinciding with its 100th anniversary, a new single identity for the company and its products designed by the Geneva office of Base.
The signature of the cartoonist Emmanuel Poiré, to whom Caran d'Ache owes its name, was the starting point of our redesign.
Base project page
The new logo replaces three previous Caran d'Ache marks: the droopy lettering used for the colors line, the Optima-esque wordmark used as the corporate and Writing Instruments mark, and the CdA monogram, used for I'm not sure what. If you were to look only at the corporate wordmark as the before, the conversation leads one way: it's a nice evolution that cleans up the letters by having better interaction between characters and adds a touch of contemporary aesthetic by going full sans. However, when you look at the classic, melting wordmark associated with the colored pencils then it's another conversation: The wordmark foregoes a lot of built nostalgic equity in exchange for a more sterile approach. It's not that the old droopy logo was great; it really isn't if you look at it for more than one minute but it's a classic.
In application, it makes a convincing case, achieving a good balance of sophistication and playfulness at the same time, benefitting from the product it's selling. Looks fun on a box of colors, looks classy on anniversary edition packaging.
When we considered Poiré's signature, handwriting, the fact that they are a Maison de Haute Écriture… it was obvious that such an iconic brand should have its "own writing," its own typeface.
We knew that by developing a typeface it would allow us to express the elegance and uniqueness of Caran d'Ache. The alternates developed allow numerous combinations.
Base project page
The custom type designed by Nonpareil is a little odd. I mean… it's nice but some of the alternates that are meant to carry the flair of writing are exaggerated in strange ways, like the "e" at the end of the above sample or the "y" in "Acrylic" or the cut "s". The ascender height is also a little extreme.
Overall, this identity knows exactly who its audience is, as evidenced by the not-fully-1%-targeted video above. Ultimately it's targeted at adults and artists, so losing the kid-friendly droopy logo might not be the worst thing that can happen — the little snots can mess up their Crayolas all they want.

Philadelphia sports travel guide
Our city guides are meant to showcase the best of a metropolitan area from the perspective of a sports fan visiting to watch a game or two. Here's our guide to the best of Philadelphia sports travel.
* * *
As far as sports atmospheres go, Philadelphia has one of the most unique among American cities. By "unique," we mean what you see is what you get with Philadelphia sports fans. They wear their hearts on their sleeves, exposed for all to see, including the warts. This can be quite intimidating to outsiders, and is a large reason why Philadelphia has developed a reputation as having boorish, terrible fans.
We're on record saying they're not as bad as that, though, and as long as you don't plan on parading through Lincoln Financial Field shoving your Giants gear in all the Eagles fans' faces, you shouldn't let reputation keep you from enjoying a few days seeing games in the City of Brotherly Love.
We at I-Fan have the added benefit of having lived in the Philadelphia region for several years, and witnessed the transformation from outdated (Veterans Stadium, the Spectrum) to brand-spankin'-new (Citizens Bank Park, Lincoln Financial Field). The stadiums, as well as the rest of the city, can be a happening place to be if you know where to go.
So yes, take that sports travel vacation to Philadelphia. We'll show you where to go.

The landscape: Where to watch sports in Philadelphia
Philadelphia has made it easy on its sports fans by placing all of its professional sports venues (with the exception of soccer's Talen Energy Stadium) in what it calls the Sports Complex in South Philly.
And it's been like this dating back to the 1960s, when the old Veterans Stadium and Spectrum (as well as John F. Kennedy Stadium, a track/football facility) were located across the street from each other at the revered intersection of Broad and Pattison streets. Those stadiums are gone now, their footprints used as parking and entertainment for patrons of the newer buildings as South Philly remains the center for all things sports.
Talen Energy Stadium, home of the Union, is located a few miles south of the Sports Complex in the town of Chester.
The venues
• Citizens Bank Park: Home of the Phillies. Located on the north side of Pattison Street at South 11th Street.
• Lincoln Financial Field: Home of the Eagles. Located on the south side of Pattison Street at South 11th Street.
• Wells Fargo Center: Home of the Flyers and 76ers. Located on the south side of Pattison Street between Broad and 11th streets.
• Talen Energy Stadium: Home of the Union. Located at the intersection of Routes 322 and 291 in the suburb of Chester.
The strategies: Arriving and getting around Philadelphia
Getting in
If Philadelphia residents find the fact all their stadiums are in one place mighty convenient, so too should the sports travel vacationer — especially because the international airport lies just across the Schuylkill River from the Sports Complex, with two major bridges (including Interstate 95) spanning the two locales. Philadelphia International Airport is an American Airlines hub.
If fares to PHL for your trip are too high for your liking, you can always consider the geography of the Eastern Seaboard — New York is two hours north by car/train, and Baltimore is 90 minutes south. Try flying into one of those cities instead and make it a true sports road trip, since it's so easy to do.
If you do try this and travel into Philly by train, the city's 30th Street Station is on the edge of Center City (folks in these parts don't call it downtown) and serves as a major transit hub — from there most other parts of the city are accessible via SEPTA (stands for Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority), including the Sports Complex.
If you're coming in by car, chances are you're on I-95, the East Coast's lifeline. If you see signs for either the Ben Franklin or Walt Whitman bridges, you're close to both Center City and the Sports Complex, but just take heed that you don't wind up on either bridge or else you'll be crossing into New Jersey and will need to pay toll to get back across the Delaware River.
Where to stay
Perhaps surprisingly, there are few hotels within walking distance of the Sports Complex. The one hotel within walking distance, the Holiday Inn just north of Citizens Bank Park, closed in 2019, with a larger hotel/casino complex slated to take its place. If there are no games going on, the area is mostly residential/industrial and pretty quiet, so it's not really a place where a visitor would want to hang around without a local to guide them around.
Center City, about five miles to the north, is where most of the action in Philly is, and where most tourists stay because of the abundance of hotels. Many of them are located between City Hall (where Broad and Market streets converge to form one giant traffic circle) and the Independence Hall/Liberty Bell area at 6th and Market.
If you have a car and are looking to save on lodging rates, you could do a lot worse than the area around the airport, which boasts the closest bank of brand-name hotels to the Sports Complex.
Getting around
SEPTA's Broad Street line travels between Center City and the Sports Complex, its southern terminus being Pattison Street (so when the line ends, you know it's time to get off). The station is called NRG Station in a nod to corporate sponsorship, but don't let that confuse you too much. If you're not staying anywhere near the Broad Street line, know that you have to get to it somehow in order to reach the Sports Complex — no other lines come close. That also means that no matter where you board (outside of the South Philly stops on the line), you will have to go through Center City.
Bus service is also plentiful along Broad Street, one of the city's major thoroughfares, so it's possible to reach the Sports Complex by bus (we can't imagine it's too efficient on crowded game days, though).
The Sports Complex also sits near the intersection of two main highways, Interstates 95 and 76, and depending on from which direction you're approaching, Citizens Bank Park and Lincoln Financial Field can't be missed (try driving past the Linc on I-95 sometime — it looks like the stadium is practically hanging over the highway).
Talen Energy Stadium is about 5-6 miles south of the Sports Complex on Interstate 95 — follow it south to Route 322 toward the Commodore Barry Bridge. Again, though, exit at Route 291 and don't get on the bridge lest you find yourself in Jersey.
The Sports Complex might be a bit removed from Center City, but the advantage of that is that there's a sea of parking surrounding the stadiums. The lots for every venue are typically open for any event, meaning that, for example, you can park in the Wells Fargo Center lot for a Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park. Gameday parking rates in any lot, as of 2018, was $40 for Eagles games at Lincoln Financial Field, and $18 for other events.
The highlights: Points of interest in Philadelphia
Even if your reason for coming to Philadelphia is sports travel, the region has so much more to offer. Here are just some of the things to see:
Be patriotic/cultured
No trip to Philadelphia is complete without at least a stroll through and around Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell Center and the Constitution Center, all located on a three-block strip of land in the eastern part of Center City. Then, head to the western side of Center City, where you can find the famous "Love" sculpture (see photo at the top of this post) and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, home of those steps some guy ran up in some movie.
Get your grub on
Most first-time visitors to Philly seek out the cheesesteak, and rightfully so — there are many places to sample it, including the stadiums, so don't think you can't get a proper taste of Philadelphia on a sports travel trip.
The epicenter of cheesesteak culture is the intersection of 9th and Passyunk in South Philly, not far from the Sports Complex. There you'll find two of the most well-known (and rival) cheesesteak purveyors, Pat's and Geno's. Closer to the Sports Complex on Oregon and Front streets is Tony Luke's, which also operates a stand at Citizens Bank Park.
If the cheesesteak is not your thing, head to Reading Terminal Market in Center City, a conglomeration of fine eating establishments that includes DiNic's and its famous roast pork sandwich. Or venture into the Italian Market neighborhood (9th Street north of Washington) for authentic Old World eateries.
Party on
South Street is well known as a happening area for Philadelphia nightlife, and is often a good place to spot athletes from the local teams. Rittenhouse Square, closer to City Hall, is also quite popular in the evenings but caters to a more affluent crowd. Manayunk is a little more off the beaten path but boasts its own hot spots for nightlife.
More sports
Philadelphia is considered a hub of college basketball thanks to its "Big 5" schools — La Salle, Penn, Saint Joseph's, Temple and Villanova. Most games involving one of the teams is an event around town, and Penn's home gym, the Palestra, is a building worth visiting in its own right. Speaking of Penn, the Penn Relays track event takes place every spring. If college football is your thing, Temple plays in the Football Bowl Subdivision and hosts home games at Lincoln Financial Field.
You can find minor-league sports in many of the surrounding cities in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. One team, baseball's Camden Riversharks, plays its home games directly across the Delaware River from central Philadelphia.

Wow that does not sound good, I'd be demanding my money back from the seller. Let us know how it all works out. Your experience is one reason why I try not to buy used bikes or cars, although 99.9% of the time you get a good vehicle that will provide years of reliability there's always the 1/10% time you get a raw deal. Again I hope it all works out for you in the end.Not sure if I said this, but the reason why it wouldn't start the second time was likely because there was no oil in the bike and the weak battery didn't help. All the oil was on the back tire and my boots and all over many components on the inside including the battery.

Tell him to ride it up to your place.Says bike fixed. Wants me to keep it....
Yep. If engine seized it need major work. No way he did that.Curious what he did.
He needs to make this right if you keep it
At least air fare reimbursement and new ticket
Reading right along,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Everything has been resolved. I want going to unnecessary detail but let's just say everything that happened was explained to me in excruciating detail and ownership was taken where it should have been. Every question was answered and addressed to the fullest. Further, the bike will be demonstrated to be in top order via a Dino video being provided to show that there are no issues.
As far as why they would not be issues well apparently the bike only lost a quart of oil the reason we couldn't see any oil in the glass was because it was too low. The Assumption was made that it did not have oil based on not being able to see anything in the glass but the glass is to show you whether you have enough oil not whether you have oil or not. The reason why it wouldn't start even with power was because a lot of that quart of oil that it lost was on top of the plugs
Bike will be delivered to me towards the end of the month
I agree.I personally have had enough of the drama and gory details and am more interested in how the bike runs after it's delivered. If the OP is satisfied regarding that, the details are meaningless.
My point is, they could say anything, but probably have the expertise to dump an entirely different motor in, so the only thing that counts is if the new owner is happy.
Yes but unfortunately I just broke one of my fingers so it's been a little hectic to say the least. I wrote it a few times although I stayed mostly in first and second gear to avoid too much shifting because of my hand but I absolutely love it so far I'm just concerned about a rattling noise that I'm hearing at lower speeds and I still want to have it checked out just for peace of mind. Hopefully by this weekend I'll gather my thoughts and provide some feedback on my impressions of the bike that's far.Did you get your bike?

Quality planning and control
In our last blog, we defined quality and touched on how to define quality standards. This blog will look at the steps in quality planning and control.
Organizations perform quality planning and control to ensure products or services satisfy expectations consumers have about the design specifications of the product or service. Meeting consumer needs depends on the design of these specifications.
Steps in quality planning and control
Step 1
Defining quality characteristics of the product or service takes place in this step. These quality characteristics are directly related to the product or service's design specifications. The most common quality characteristics include:
- Functionality: whether the product performs its desired function.
- Appearance: whether the physical aspects are attractive.
- Reliability: the ability of the product or service to perform continuously.
- Durability: the total life expectancy.
- Serviceability: the ability for the organization (or third party) to repair the product or service.
- Contact: the interaction available between the client/consumer and an organization.
Step 2
After determining quality characteristics, try express them in measurable terms. Characteristics that are measurable are controllable.
Step 3
Each defined quality characteristic of the product or service should have set standards. Quality standards for quality characteristics enable the operations manager to measure the conformance and achievement of the defined quality characteristics. Having fewer than 0.5 bugs per 1000 lines of code is an example of a quality standard. If 3 bugs per 1000 lines of code were observed then quality standards weren't met to ensure the satisfaction of 'reliability' quality characteristics.
Step 4
Determine whether the product or service satisfies realistic quality standards by analysing them. This is the control step. The operations manager is concerned with three areas in this control process:
- Whether to Implement preventative, in-time or reactive control.
- Deciding if they will check each product or service individually or if they will take a general sample to determine if all products and services meet quality standards.
- Statistical process control or acceptance sampling is conducted. Statistical process control is when inspection is conducted during the manufacturing or rendering process. Acceptance sampling is when inspection occurs after the manufacturing or rendering process.
Step 5:
Never perceive quality deviations negatively. Although they can be costly, they give the organization a chance to identify and correct causes of poor quality. Conduct identifying and rectifying poor quality at this stage.
Step 6:
The last step is to continuously look for ways to improve the quality of products and services. Improvement of products and services is based on performance measurement. Improvement can either be dramatic and large scale – such as breakthrough improvement or it can be incremental where regular and small scale changes take place – continuous improvement.
How does your organization plan and control their quality? Do you have any other steps you might want to add?

As I mentioned yesterday, fish comprise a large part of a pied-billed grebe's diet. Not long ago I noticed one of these small grebes struggling with a fish it caught. I was not going to post these pictures and mention the pied-bill grebe's dinner, because the photos are not very good. Unfortunately the grebe was too far away for my old 200 mm lens to capture the action clearly (budgets!). Yet how it ate the fish is interesting and I am still thinking pied-billed grebe. . .
I noticed a slight movement across Baum Lake – a pied bill grebe with a fish in its mouth. The first photo was taken at 11:49:29 AM, a few seconds after the grebe surfaced with its fish. The fish, most likely a small trout, was aligned perpendicular to the grebe's body. For almost a minute and a half the grebe struggled with the fish, lifting it in the air and maneuvering it around. At first the fish struggled, but eventually it seemed to stop resisting. The grebe finally worked the head into its mouth and by lifting its head and stretching its neck about three times was able to get the fish down its throat in as many stages. I did not realize a grebe could actually swallow such a large fish. I snapped the final picture in this series at 11:51:04. The white tufted tail, a good field mark for the pied-billed grebe, is visible in several of the pictures.
Pied billed grebes are rather "tame" compared to many of the other waterfowl and will often swim quite close to humans. Maybe next time the pied-billed grebe will have its lunch just a bit closer and provide a better photo op.

i4 with Gout Kit
The Gout Kit is an economical and simple alternative to a fully polarizing microscope. When used with the i4 Infinity microscope the Gout Kit is a valuable tool for identifying crystals in synovial fluid.
- Simple to use
- Works with the I4 microscope
- Fraction of the cost of a fully polarizing Rheumatology microscope
- Includes Uric Acid control slide
The Gout Kit for the i4 Microscope includes the Simple Polarizing Kit plus the First Order Red Compensating Lens (whole wave plate), which allows easy identification of the specific crystals which cause arthritis.
Gout is a type of arthritis that can occur when uric acid builds up in blood and causes joint inflammation. Gout is caused by Sodium Urate Crystals, which are needle-like with sharp edges with strong birefringence.
Pseudo-gout (rheumatoid) is caused by Calcium Pyrophosphate Dehydrate Crystals (CPPD), which are small rods, squares, or rhomboids with weak birefringence.
Mi5 Polarizing Microscope
The Mi5 Polarizing LabScope is an essential tool for synovial fluid analysis. Crystal-induced arthritis, such as gout or pseudogout, can be identified and differentiated with the use of the polarizing attachment and red compensator lens. The Mi5 also functions as a flat-field, laboratory-grade microscope for routine cytology, hematology, urinalysis, etc. This specialized system was designed to combine high-resolution optics with functionality at an affordable price for rheumatologists.

In Feb 2017, a medical provider in Uruguay got hacked. The attacker stole a bunch of patient records and then used that to conduct extortion on the provider. They said they'd release the records of everyone with HIV unless they get $60,000 worth of bitcoin.
The medical provider worked with the police to catch and arrest Alberto Hill, a 41 year old Uruguayan. Alberto had a ton of hacker paraphernalia and electronic devices at his house.
Evidence took from Alberto's home:
We're talking dozens of credit cards, a bunch of hardware bitcoin wallets, thumb drives galore with hacking tools and viruses on them, a credit card writer with a bunch of blank cards, numerous hard drives, computers, routers, printers, and an anonymous mask.
Alberto Hill admitted to hacking into the medical provider, admitted to owning all this equipment, and even admitted to the the police he sent the email. But he claims he's innocent. Listen to his story and you be the judge on whether he's guilty or not.
Special thanks to Alberto Hill for sharing his story. Alberto is trying to change legislation in Uruguay and needs your help to do it. He would like you to visit his Change.org campaign to see if you can help.

Draisine will now be publishing (mostly) unedited rehearsing sessions from the home cave. I'll add tracks regularly there. I don't exactly know what to do with music anymore in terms of distribution or "broadcasting", so it'll just be there for potential enjoyment. Photo by Pauline Descamps at L'Auréole Béthencourt. Tape available to order on bandcamp

Draisine : R.R.A.T.S.
Draisine is my solo project. A more self-contained and mastered process than Przewalski's Horses, it still relies much on free improvisation, revolving mainly around effects-processed electric guitar. Long sessions of studio recordings make the raw matter for post-productions editings, post-recording compositions; the musical composition here is much like painting, as it is about merging independent… Continue reading Draisine

Are you familiar with the childhood story the "Emperor's New Clothes?"
Well, in it, there's a king (aka an emperor) who's walking a parade route naked. That Emperor is parading down the street with absolutely no clothes on, making a complete fool out of himself, but nobody dares to say anything because, after all, he is the emperor. That is, until, the Emperor makes his way past one small child who's staring in disbelief; partly because the emperor is totally naked but mostly because the emperor's walked past tons of other people and nobody had the stones to say, "hey Emperor, you're naked!" So, upon finally realizing that nobody else is going to say anything, the little child finally blurts out, "But he (the Emperor) isn't wearing anything at all!"
That's a brave kid, no? To just say what everyone else was thinking, but was too beholden to the emperor to say. Well, it's in the spirit of that kid that I'm going to say the obvious thing that probably needs to be said about Beyonce's latest single," Formation." I think, in many ways, Beyonce came through with the win for on this track. Formation is a catchy song, its video has brilliant visuals and a powerful message. But I have to ask: Does anyone else think it was odd that Beyonce performed a "Black Power" tribute in a long, blonde weave?
Now, we've all been staring at Beyonce and her hair long enough to know that if she wanted to wear an afro, she very well could have; all she'd need to achieve the look is a few buckets of water and a blow dryer to the scalp. So the question is, if she could have achieved the look, why didn't she? If she loves "afros" and "negro" noses, like she claims, what's with the long, blonde, weaves and the heavily (cough, cough) "contoured" nose, she's always sporting?
I think the answer probably lies somewhere in the unspoken truth that one of the major components of Beyonce's crossover success has been her ability to make her ethnic features as inconspicuous as possible. Long blonde weaves and a thin, subtle nose have made her more user friendly to fans all over the world. And the irony of that fact is with that her song "Formation;" she's now embracing the very look she elected to abandon in order to achieve this level of success in her career. And, so yeah, she loves the Afros on her dancers and, large nostrils on the Jacksons but she still knows that she'd better not go near them herself, as they'll compromise her marketability. In fact when she did sport a curly, natural look for a brief period back in 2002(before the release of her first solo album), she told Vibe magazine (October 2002) she didn't know how much longer she'd maintain the style because "I wake up looking like a crack- head."
Now, to be clear, I'm not faulting nor am I criticizing her majesty, Queen Bey for her style of tress, because weave or no weave, releasing that video is still a gutsy move. Secondly, I understand that every artist much express herself in a way that makes her comfortable and if she's not comfortable changing her hair, that's her business. And lastly, I'd never come for her for being blonde because it will only take a quick Google search to see that on many occasions, I have worn blonde highlights, myself (and that stuff snapped my hair right off, lol!) *BUT, I've never purported to be the leader of the new black revolution.
My only point is you can tell people whatever you'd like to tell them, but people rarely example their behavior of off what you tell them, they example their lives off of what you actually do. She can put everyone from her dancers to her daughter in an afro, but it won't be until Beyonce is comfortable wearing her own hair and her natural nose; because she believes them to be no hindrance to her appeal, that the revolution she claims to seek will actually be televised.

Where: Piazza Primo Carlini 1 - 40051 Malalbergo (BO)
When: August 29-31, September 1, 5-8 2019
The flavour of the stinging nettle, similar to spinach and cucumber when cooked, is the tasty protagonist of "Sagra dell'ortica" (the Nettle festival), a classic end-of-summer event in Malalbergo.
In the town historical center, experienced volunteer cooks prepare tasty dishes in the food stand (opens every night at 19,00, and also for lunch on Sunday). The menu includes green tortellini and other nettle-based fresh pasta specialties as gramigna, lasagne, tagliatelle and tortelloni. Plus risotto with asparagus and, of course, nettle.
While the nettle plant is well known for its stinging hairs, most people may not be aware that a little cooking dissolves the stings allowing the plant to release its many nutritional properties and to become an ingredient for delicious dishes.
On the last night of the event (September 3) there will be the traditional fireworks.
The complete programme is to be defined.
Timetable: food stand on thursday, friday and saturday evening (from 7pm). Sunday also for lunch
Entrance: free entry, a la carte menu
Organization: Amici dell'Ortica association
Info: Amici dell'Ortica association
