HI Leg wants Superferry back
SUBHEAD: Momentum grows at Capitol to bring Superferry back to Hawaii. SOURCE: Dick Mayer (email@example.com) Image above: The second Hawaii Superferry (Huakai) at Austal USA Alabama dock with ramp extended. [Editor's note: KHNL-TV and deranged members of the Hawaii legislature are still working hard to promote the return of the HSF despite evidence that the Defense Department already has plans for the two vessels. Check the red high-lighted paragraphs in two article below.] By Leland Kim on 6 April 2009 on KHNL-TV http://www.khnl.com/global/story.asp?s=10140913&ClientType=Printable A plan to bring back the Superferry gains steam at the Hawaii state legislature. Lawmakers are looking at several ideas that could potentially bring the high-capacity ferry service back to our waters. The first idea was started by former Hawaii attorney general Michael Lilly, and the idea is changing our environmental laws to eliminate secondary impact considerations. The plan to bring the Alakai right back to Pier 19 is gaining momentum at the Hawaii state Capitol. A plan to rescue the Hawaii Superferry is underway. Sen. Fred Hemmings (R-Lanikai, Waimanalo and Hawaii Kai) says there's a chance a bill can be passed this session that could open the doors for the ferry service to come back. "It's extremely feasible," he said. "The legislature makes the laws for the state of Hawaii and we can amend the laws, and even this late stage of the legislative process, there's ways to amend bills to include clarifying environmental protection laws." The plan would eliminate secondary impact considerations during an environmental review process. Environmental groups say the laws are necessary, but Sen. Hemmings disagrees. "A reasonable law, the environmental protection act, has been prostituted by extremists: extreme environmentalists and extreme legislators who have jumped on that bandwagon," he said. Senate president Colleen Hanabusa (D-Nanakuli, Makaha) says a task force is looking into Hawaii's environmental laws to see if they need to be updated. "And let us be clear: the legal challenge was on Kahului only," she said. "So technically the Superferry could operate from Oahu to Kauai, from Oahu to the Big Island." Sen. Hemmings says bringing the Superferry back is important for Hawaii's international reputation. "People came up to me, legislators from around the country, leaders, and they were shaking their heads," he said. "They can't believe Hawaii would turn a ferry away. You're an island state; you don't have a ferry? What are you guys thinking out there?" The senate president thinks the Alakai would come back if the financial incentives are still there. "I think when it becomes lucrative for the Superferry, like any other business, they will be back," she said. "And I'd like to think they would be back, too." Senate president Hanabusa also says there's another fix for the Superferry to come back. They could swap out the Alakai for the other catamaran that was recently built. It has a built in ramp on the boat, which means, like Matson or Young Brothers, it would not need to go through an environmental review process because it does not use harbor improvements. image above: The navy's littoral combat ship (LCS) Independence at Austal dock in Alabama Good news for Mobile's Austal USA By Kaija Wilkenson on 7 April 2009 in the Mobile Press-Register http://www.al.com/press-register/stories/index.ssf?/base/news/1239095753243650.xml&coll=3 Defense Secretary Robert Gates' recommendation Monday that the Navy buy three, not two, littoral combat ships in fiscal 2010 is good news for a program that at least initially struggled with cost overruns. The news came on a day when Gates delayed or canceled a series of other high-profile defense programs. "Gates rejiggered a lot of programs but he didn't mess with the LCS," said Jay Korman, an analyst with Washington, D.C.-based Avascent Group. "I've got to think that both teams have done a good job in controlling cost." Mobile's Austal USA is part of a General Dynamics Corp. team building a version of the LCS, a shallow-water warship. Both General Dynamics and its rival, Lockheed Martin Corp., built a vessel under deals that allowed contractors to recoup their costs, plus an agreed-upon profit. Gates also said Monday he wants to charter two additional Joint High Speed Vessels, which are used for transporting troops and equipment. Gates' recommendations "affirm the Navy's position regarding both the LCS and JHSV programs," said Joe Rella, Austal's president and chief operating officer. "Austal, the city, and the state will all benefit from the continuance and growth associated with this plan." Both versions of the LCS, built to different designs, ended up with a price tag of over a half-billion dollars, against a $220 million estimate. Last fall, the Navy asked the teams to submit fixed-price bids for five vessels, and Lockheed has since gotten a second contract. The Navy has said it plans to award General Dynamics its second ship by Sept. 30. The Navy last fall announced plans to buy two vessels from one team and a third from the other in fiscal 2010, which begins Oct. 1. The service has not said which contractor will get the third ship. Gates said Monday the Pentagon eventually will buy up to 55 LCS. Austal has been ramping up employment in anticipation of the work, and is adding a $170 million assembly-line style facility in an effort to cut per-vessel costs. The shipyard employs 1,000 people and has said jobs could more than double if Austal is awarded three LCS in the next two years. Austal in November was awarded a potential $1.6 billion contract to build up to 10 of the Joint High Speed Vessels, but the first is not scheduled for delivery until 2011. That could mean a new mission for two commercial ferries, both built at Austal USA, that are out of work after Hawaii Superferry Inc. canceled its inter-island service last month. Industry analyst Tim Colton said the military is a natural fit for the ferries, now adorned with colorful swimming manta rays. "Any day now, they'll be painted gray," Colton said.

"Any day now, they'll be painted GRAY," making money from the military instead of losing money commercially here in Hawaii, so no need to permanently change the EIS laws for all EA's before the UH study is even done on Chapter 343.
Hanabusa, Hemmings, Slom, and the former Atty General's BAD JUDGEMENT should remain a MINORITY view.
NO late night backroom deals in Conference Committee amended to some unrelated bill without proper hearings and testimony on this!

Yes, but I just get on with it.
Mrs was due over in May, couldn't get a flight in September, now coming in October. :(
It is relevant as he will need to go through BKK immigration. As its not an international airport bags will need to be offloaded and then checked in. Same with travel to Udon Thani as I have done...
I believe Chiang Rai is not an international airport with immigration so not an option...
I still can't see you will ever get ILR without getting married. As Keith says the kids won't be allowed to attend school here on a tourist visa. Think you are going to have to re-think your plans.
'Am I missing something, if you aren't getting married how can you get ILR. I cant see how you would get the kids a tourist visa either.
my wife has a 5 year one. Come as many times as you want, but no more than 6 months out of 12
Have you read this. https://www.thethailandlife.com/married-thailand-diy-day When I married my wife in 2012 we did manage to do it all in 1 day. Seems a bit more to it these days though. Good luck.
She can't work on a visit visa. It is unlikely she would get a work visa.
are you the elderly man too???

Totally agree with bifftastic and we have never failed when I have done it.

I think you will find most of us are either married or have long term BFs so wouldn't know whats best for a ST GF. How about Areca lodge.
I doubt if amyone on here has experience of their Thai partner applying for asylum. Never heard of anyone from Thaliand having a reason for asylum. Perhaps the OP should explain why she is applying...

2007 Paris, France
In June of 2007, we visited Barcelona, and then took an overnight train ride to Paris, the capital city of France. We also spent one day in the Chateau de Versailles, often referred to as the royal Palace of Versailles.
Notre Dame de Paris, often known simply as Notre Dame in English, is a Gothic cathedral on the eastern half of the Île de la Cité in Paris, France, with its main entrance to the west. It is still used as a Roman Catholic cathedral and is the seat of the Archbishop of Paris. Notre Dame de Paris is widely considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. It was restored and saved from destruction by Viollet-le-Duc, one of France's most famous architects. Notre Dame translates as "Our Lady" from French.
The Arc de Triomphe is a monument in Paris that stands in the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle, formerly the Place de l'Étoile, at the western end of the Champs-Élysées. The arch honours those who fought for France, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars, and today also includes the tomb of the unknown soldier.
The Louvre Museum (French: Musée du Louvre) in Paris, France, is the most visited and one of the oldest, largest, and most famous art galleries and museums in the world. The Louvre has a long history of artistic and historic conservation, inaugurated in the Capetian dynasty until today.
The Eiffel Tower is an iron tower built on the Champ de Mars beside the River Seine in Paris, France. It is the tallest structure in Paris and one of the most recognized monuments in the world. Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the Eiffel Tower is the most visited monument in the world.
In English it is often referred to as the Palace of Versailles. When the château was built, Versailles was a country village, but it is now a suburb of Paris. From 1682, when King Louis XIV moved from Paris, until the royal family was forced to return to the capital in 1789, the Court of Versailles was the center of power in Ancien Régime France.
The Hall of Mirrors is one of the main attractions at the Chateau de Versailles. As the central feature of Louis XIV's third building campaign, construction on the galerie des glaces — The Hall of Mirrors — began in 1678. The principal feature of the room is the seventeen mirror-clad arches that reflect the seventeen arcaded windows that overlook the gardens. Each arch contains twenty-one mirrors with a total complement of 357 used in the decoration of the galerie des glaces.

February 2019's Gig & Theatre Round-Up
Events marked with ** I was invited along to for free, but rest assured all words & opinions are my own 🙂
February was a pretty busy month for live music and theatre. Here's what I got up to!
Bowie Experience @ Hackney Empire**
I was invited along to catch this amazing Bowie tribute show through Love Pop Ups London. You can read my full review here, but basically I loved it and even went to go watch it again when it played a couple of weeks later in Kent. They play all over the country, so you're bound to find them performing at a venue near you!
Tusks @ Omeara*
Sofar Sounds @ Overlock Arts**
I've been meaning to get myself to a Sofar Sounds gig, so was chuffed to be invited to a special evening in collaboration with Firestone. Sofar Sounds put on secret gigs in unique places, like cafes, galleries and sometimes even people's living rooms. We were treated to live performances from Welsh singer-songwriter John Nicholas, R&B songstress Autumn Sharif, and cheeky chappy AKA George.
Come From Away @ Phoenix Theatre**
A Slight Ache & The Dumb Waiter @ The Harold Pinter Theatre
Bowie Experience @ The Orchard Theatre
Johnny Cash Night @ Brixton Blues Kitchen
This evening turned out to be a big disappointment. My brother & I had booked our tickets a month or so earlier, and had gotten ourselves all excited for it, but when we got there it was clear they had oversold as it was so packed. We ended up waiting in the small crowded room for the live music to start for over an hour before giving up and going home instead. Shame.
Gigs marked with a * are those which I got passes for through Jukely. You can get £10 off your first month by using my special code: JUKECE1
Did you manage to make it to any of these gigs? Or maybe you saw someone else. I'd love to hear in the comments below!
Be sure to read all about why I go to so many gigs. You can also see all my gig posts on IG via #captaincharleygigs.

ANDERSON, Ind. – Junior Claire Dennis (Bloomington, Ind.) tied a season high with 11 kills and the Hanover volleyball team enjoyed its second best hitting percentage of the season in a 3-0 victory at Anderson Saturday afternoon.
The Panthers (24-5, 9-0 HCAC) hit over .300 in all three sets, including a .611 second frame, en route to a 25-16, 25-6, 25-14 victory. Hanover has won 13 consecutive matches, while the conference win gives them 27 straight, which spans the past three seasons.
Dennis had arguably her best all-around performance this fall, as she hit .786 in her team high kill effort. The junior added a team high five blocks and two service aces, while also pitching in with five digs.
Seniors Kristin Goben (Finchville, Ky.) and Emily Ertel (North Vernon, Ind.) added eight and seven kills respectively. Goben also hit .462, while adding four blocks defensively.
In the back row, senior Monique Huynh (Indianapolis, Ind.) and sophomore Ally Williams (Fountaintown, Ind.) combined for 27 of HC's 48 digs. Huynh posted a team high 18 digs.
Junior Abby Crump (Indianapolis, Ind.) recorded 16 assists in the win, while classmate Haley Alexander (Martinsville, Ind.) registered 14 helpers. The tandem combined for 83.3 percent of Hanover's assist total Saturday.
The Panthers led by three points late in the first set, 19-16, before rattling off six straight points to secure a 25-16 victory. Senior Courtney Crawford (Louisville, Ky.) and junior Margo Main (Ann Arbor, Mich.) each had two kills during the set-closing run.
Hanover scored nine of the first 10 points in the next frame to take a commanding lead early. Anderson (10-20, 1-8 HCAC) stayed within nine points, before the Blue and Red rattled off another long run to cap the set, as this time a 10-0 run gave HC a 25-6 decision. The second frame versus the Ravens marked just the second time this season HC held its opponent to single digits in a set.
Hanover never trailed in the third game, as the 6-4 lead would be as close as the Ravens would get in the set, with the Blue and Red securing the match at 25-14.
Overall, the Panthers hit .398, while holding the Ravens to a minus .032 hitting clip. Hanover also enjoyed a 7-1 edge in total blocks.
The Blue and Red finished unbeaten in HCAC play for the third straight year, and will host the HCAC Tournament Semifinals and Championship next weekend, Nov. 4 and 5. Hanover's semifinal opponent is yet to be determined, but the contest will start at 2 p.m. next Saturday, inside Collier Arena.

Along these steep hills grow Bellwort, Large-Flowered Trillium, and Miterwort.
The Large-Flowered Bellwort were blooming, notice how they bloom with their heads hanging down, and very droopy. It was a bit early in the season for Miterwort.
Once in the ravine you come to a bridge over Sand Creek.
There are two bridges at Aman over Sand Creek, this is the southern bridge. After crossing the bridge, I turned right and followed the trail that runs beside the creek.
Here is what I saw on my walk alongside the creek.
Mayapple with buds
Several different types of violets
Wild Ginger
Bloodroot leaves, these are already done blooming.
Virginia Bluebells (Mertensia virginica) grow in large colonies, in the areas that flood in the spring. Most of the Virginia Bluebells were just starting to bloom.
It is about a mile walk from the southern bridge to the northern bridge if you take the creekside path. The creek snakes back and forth several times. The trail is quite rough in places, and sometimes leads you right into the creek. I stopped often to look around and just enjoyed all of it.
Look at all that green, and all those plants!
There are so many Spring wildflowers at this one park. Spring Beauty, Cut-Leaved Toothwort, Spring Cress, anemones, bedstraw, and rue.
Brand new ferns were pushing up out of the ground. Bumble Bees, and some other types of bees were buzzing and flitting from flower to flower. And the birds were singing the sweetest songs.
Spring Beauty
Blue Cohosh (Caulophyllum thalictroides)
False Rue Anemone (Enemion biternatum)
Pawpaw bud (Asimina triloba) - lots of Pawpaw trees.
Wild Geranium
Dwarf Ginseng (Panax trifolius)
Squirrel Corn
Dutchman's Breeches
Wild Blue Phlox
Sharp-Lobed Hepatica leaves, all done blooming.
Here come the trillium, see that white on the rise ahead? Large-Flowered Trillium! They are grand, especially with hundreds of plants growing right next to each other. It is a sight to see for yourself, if you can.
In one area at Aman Park, I look for a group of trillium with an anomaly, multiple green petals, there are about 4 plants that look like this...

A Summary of A Super Mario Summary
I posted a post mortem of A Super Mario Summary over at the Ludum Dare site. Since I don't like to copy/paste jobs, go here to read it. Enjoy!
BIG Jam '11 – Post Mortem
So, BIG Jam eventually came an end (last Monday actually) - what a weekend! It started out slow, mostly because I had a terrible cold and that I didn't know anyone. But on the final day I'm finally felt a lot better and I had met amazing people and made some great friends!
The jam sessions were very rewarding. I didn't think I would get that much done in so few hours but it obviously was possible. I really liked the presentation format where people had to show off their jam results for all to be amazed by. I saw some really awesome stuff! Before I forget everything I thought it would be a good idea to make a little post mortem of the whole thing. It's mostly focused on the actual jamming, but here goes:
Things that worked less well:
- Being sick
- Too few talks
- Bad eating habits
- Bad UI sucks
Things that worked well:
- Cooperating
- Solo jams
- Sticking to the scope(s)
- My fairly new component based engine
- Nobody notices a good ui, but it makes all the difference
To summarize...
- Jams are intense, make sure to be well rested and eat properly!
- Talks are fun and everybody enjoys them, why not talk about something yourself next time?
- Team up! Proper presentation (in my case pretty graphics) really do a lot to prototypes and you can focus on the coding.
- Don't be afraid to go solo on a jam. It is very rewarding to pull off a game on your own in such short time.
- Stick to the scope! It is way to easy to get carried away halfway through production. Don't.
- Come prepared! Having a framework that allows for rapid prototyping is critical in order to get anything done. This jam I barely wrote a single of line engine code.
- If there is time (which there always is early on so do this right away), plan your ui. This can be anything from meters or plain text. But make sure it's there. When it is presentation time, it will make is som much easier for people playing (and not playing) to understand what's going on.
- Player feedback! If something (ANYTHING) happens in the game, regardless wether is is by player input or not, make it show. Make updated ui elements flash, activated game objects blink, etc.

BATHOS – post mortem
For my third LD I knew from the beginning that I would have less than one full day to complete the game. Knowing that, I first planned not to join, but when I saw the theme I thought that I should at least be able to do something small.
Again my weapon of choice was AS3 and low res pixel graphics. This time I tried out FlashPunk (thanks to Sos's framework posted earlier) and even if I used very little FP code I was quite happy with my choice.
All together it turned out more or less like I imagined it to be. If you haven't played it I strongly suggest you do so before reading any further as the game is quite spolier fragile. Feel free to try the game here:
What went wrong
- story
I wanted to really put the player into the action and let the player imagine what had happened before for herself. This had could been done a lot better and I'm not happy with the intro and outro texts at all. They worked, but nothing more. I think better texts could have emphasized the point of the game and the players' reactions even more.
- framework code
I hadn't used FP before so when I found out that Sos had posted a quick and dirty platformer framework I decided to use it right away. The framework was good for most parts (thanks Sos!) but there where some minor glitches that stopped me from adding some of the polish I wanted in the end. Since there is so little platforming actually in the game I might have been better off writing it from scratch.
- not much
I tried to think of a third thing that didn't work out but failed. I didn't eat very much, but that was expected. Next time I really should take more breaks and eat better - pomodoro style!
What went right
- scope
Knowing that I wouldn't be able to pull any all nighters I decided to try something very special and short instead of generic and large. Usually I want to make levels after level, but this time I was smart enough to realize my weaknesses and use them as strengths.
- graphics
While I usually dabble with pixel graphics, I wanted to try a new style this time. Normally I'm very much about child-like proportions, big eyes, and black outlines. In BATHOS I aimed for a realistic style in order to make it feel more real. Wether I actually achieved the latter or not, I'm very happy with the looks of the game and it is something that I will surely use again.
- framework code
Although there were some minor kinks in the framework I used on top of FlashPunk it allowed me to dive straight into the game mechanics. This saved me a lot of time and I think it was the first time in many years that I didn't write any engine code for a game. Big thanks to Sos and Chevy!
- the name
Reading the initial response I am very happy with positive comments, something which I am very grateful for. There are of course people who don't like the game and/or hate the ending, which it why I named it BATHOS ( = anti-climax ).
On a final note, let me recommend WolframTones for quick music. It requires some clicking to get the desired result, but it beats composing for a musical newbie like me.

MANHATTAN — Kansas State got back to its winning ways with a 33-20 victory over Baylor on Saturday at Snyder Family Stadium, but the Wildcats were rarely impressive along the way.
Every time it seemed they were in position to bury the Bears and put the game out of reach, their offense sputtered or their defense surrendered a long touchdown. A 20-3 halftime lead meant little. Bill Snyder's team sweated this one out until the end.
For now, the Wildcats (3-1, 1-0 Big 12) will take the result. They won their conference opener, and put a frustrating 14-7 loss to Vanderbilt behind them by beating the Bears (0-5, 0-2) in a game they never trailed.
But it wasn't supposed to be this difficult. K-State was favored by 17, and led by three scores early. It appears they have work to do if they hope to live up to preseason expectations as a Big 12 championship contender.
The biggest issues are on offense. Much like the Vanderbilt loss, K-State was unable to consistently move the ball against Baylor. Jesse Ertz and company were better in this game, amassing 344 yards, but they often wasted excellent field position and had to settle for field goals.
Kicker Matthew McCrane came up big for the Wildcats by connecting on all four his attempts.
Receivers continued to drop passes at an alarming rate, and Ertz completed 7 of 17 attempts for 119 yards. K-State ran the ball 43 times.
Ertz was most effective on the ground, rushing for 95 yards and a touchdown. Running back Alex Barnes also had some quality runs on his way to 80 yards. Still, the Wildcats aren't moving the ball between the tackles as easily as they did a year ago.
It seemed like this was the week for K-State to break out of its slump.
The game started in ideal fashion. The Wildcats were sharp on their first drive, using a 38-yard run from Barnes to get into scoring range and then finding the end zone on a 16-yard pass from Ertz to Isaiah Zuber.
One minute, 43 seconds into the first quarter, and K-State led 7-0.
It wasn't a sign of things to come.
K-State was better on defense, particularly in the first half behind the strong play of cornerback Duke Shelley and defensive end Tanner Wood. Whenever the Bears tried to move the ball on the perimeter, Shelley was there to blow his way through blocks and make a tackle. Wood disrupted much of what Baylor tried to do at the line of scrimmage, tipping two passes and delivering some fearsome hits.
Their play allowed K-State to take a big halftime lead, but the Wildcats couldn't keep things going in the second half after the Bears made adjustments on offense.
The Bears scored their first touchdown late in the third quarter on a 74-yard run by John Lovett that made the score 20-13. Lovett cut through a massive hole on the right side and galloped untouched into the end zone.
K-State answered with a touchdown of its own on the first play of the fourth quarter on a 15-yard keeper from Ertz. But it had some good fortune leading up to that play.
Baylor appeared to have all the momentum when it pulled to within one score and forced K-State to punt late in third quarter. But it lost the ball on a high snap on the ensuing drive. Defensive end Kyle Ball astutely hopped on the loose ball and gave the Wildcats the ball in excellent position.
Just like that, K-State was back on top 27-13. But that didn't last long. Baylor fought back immediately with a 70-yard touchdown pass from Zach Smith to Denzel Mims, making the score 27-20.
The Wildcats held off the Bears with two late field goals, and can now turn their attention to next week's game at Texas. But they may need to play better to turn this victory into a winning streak.

KLIP Lifestyle presents a Collection of Collages by Studio ZIBEN/Berlin
Collage is one of the most expressive forms used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. Collages are made of recycled materials from the artist's private collection, collected by Małecki for many years. They combine paper, wood and other materials. The way Małecki built the images composition is similar to how he creates the furniture.
Size: 30 x 40 cm
Vintage Paper collage: 'No-Think Hill' by Studio ZIBEN, Berlin
Studio Ziben is a collection of different ideas which arise spontaneously and intuitively through associations.
Małecki designs fascinating objects that always have a story to tell. Free thinking and spontaneity are combined with functionality, aesthetics, and timelessness. Simple and contemporary design characterizes every handcrafted piece of furniture which is made of the highest quality materials from Poland.
He often cooperates with different architecture studios and private customers, developing the concept of offices and apartments design. To mention just a few:
2016 - Circus Hotel - foyer furnishings,
2014 - Cooperation with Gensler Architects/London for Google Office in Munich furniture design.
The furniture of Studio Ziben, mostly unique pieces are also a part of the private furniture collection/private apartments in New York, Berlin, Poland and others.
Thanks to fast increasing popularity of his designs, Małecki is regularly invited to prestigious international furniture design exhibitions all over the world, such as Dutch Design Week, ICFF in Manhattan, New York and TV furniture shows as a design expert - (5 episodes, ZDF).
Freedom, free thinking and spontaneity are key parts of Małecki creative process. Studio Ziben designs are unexpected and full of humor - a reflection of the new Berlin and its youthful irreverence to tradition and convention and a reference to the Bauhaus movement, which was established exactly 100 years ago in Germany.

Hey everyone! Sitting down at my desk this morning after being stuck in traffic, in my perfectly ordinary Polo. I couldn't help but see these again and smile.
I can't be the only one that does this. If you do, show us! The toys/models anyways, not so much the desk itself.

Hello All!!
Hope all is well out there. Not too much went on today - Brenna and I baked a small (think mug size) pineapple upside down cake this morning (she loved helping with that) and then played with her stuffed animals (oops - we should have cleaned today - I'm a terrible housewife on that front...). She loves the pound puppies - so we had "adoption" day here with all her stuffed animals (and she included herself - did you know that my daughter thinks she is a dog at least 50% of the time? - it is worse when she is tired - all I get as communication then is "whining and whimpering"). We did some coloring - she was more interested in my page than hers (especially when my "treat" last night decided it didn't agree with my stomach and I spent a significant amount of time in the bathroom). At least I did get kisses from her for my ouchy tummy!!
It was rainy today, so we didn't spend a lot of time outdoors - just a short (really, really short walk) for the dog (but at least our rain boots are coming in handy! - best purchase I made over here - besides my cool new rain coat, lol). I was going to make french fries for supper, but my potatoes were shot (of course I didn't discover that until it was pouring down rain and 5:30)- so Brenna and I shared some soup and she had some cheese on her English muffins ("mom - I want pizza without sauce" - what is that??). Dustin wasn't too late, but went off to play volleyball (wished I would have realized he was going to do that earlier - I would have done my day a little differently...).
Well, I still have to do my German homework (although they are getting ready to end those for me :-( - gotta love the promises of "no, it won't be difficult to get your classes extended" (before we left the US), to "um, you can have 10 more classes and that is all we can do for you"... Can you tell I'm a little frustrated on that one...
Well, Take Care!

Product Code: WC-235000
Suggested Retail Price £615+VATWhere to buy
D-Box (Weapon, Power Distribution Portion Only) is a custom version of our popular D-Box that adds power distribution, standardized remote start/stop, and hot swap abilities for RED DSMC2 Brains (Monstro, Helium, Gemini), Weapon, Epic Weapon (Epic-W), Scarlet Weapon (Scarlet-W), Raven, and other DSMC2 cameras when combined with a Wooden Camera Cable-less Battery Module. Once you checkout for this product, our team will contact you with instructions on how to send your Cable-less Battery Module in for the upgrade. Service time is approximately 3 business days from when your Cable-less product is received.
Connectors on the D-Box include 2x 2pin LEMO (12V), 2x 3pin Fischer (24V with R/S), 4x D-Tap (12V)(note that one D-Tap is partly obscured by the housing shape), and 1x USB. These outputs are contoured to match the Expander Module which allow for all cables to be installed with no collisions. The module, when combined with the Cable-less Battery Module, communicates with the camera and allows any ARRI standard start/stop trigger to be used with the 3pin Fischer port.
The DC input on the D-Box is the same as the camera's LEMO connector allowing for an AC Power Supply or External Power Plate to be connected to power accessories during a battery change. When both battery and DC input are utilized, the D-Box defaults to the DC input, leaving the onboard battery fully charged. If DC input or Batt voltage is above 12.5V, the LED will be green. If the battery voltage is below 12V, the LED will be red and if the battery voltage is between those values, the LED will be orange.
Physical fuses have been replaced by a processor controlled amp limit which is settable to 3.8, 5.8, or 9 amps using the slide switch on the operator's side. Should the user exceed the set current for accessories, only the accessory outputs are disabled leaving the camera running normally. Once the current load has been reduced by either removing accessories or reconfiguring, the reset button can be pressed to enable accessory power again.
All Cable-less and D-Box products are now compatible with RED 7.0+ firmware (IPP2).
When using Cable-less and D-Box battery modules it is important to know what amount of power your batteries are capable of providing. A RED Brick battery can supply up to 10A with the camera generally consuming 4-6A in standard configuration. Although the remaining power is available from the D-Taps, LEMO compatible connectors, Fischers, etc., it is best to limit the power draw to 4A or less for best results. Consuming more power than a battery is capable of providing will cause the battery to shut itself off, killing the camera and accessory power.
Connectors used in this assembly are not manufactured by LEMO but are made to the same specifications and are LEMO compatible.

The Nintendo Labo VR experience is one you will never forget, but that's not always a good thing.
It has always been an intimidating experience to open a Nintendo Labo box. There are a lot of parts, with multiple cardboard sheets to punch shapes out of. There are even washers, screws, and rubber bands. What makes this all so fun? Building with friends.
Nintendo Labo VR review
Building an experience
If you're attempting to make any of the Nintendo Labo VR Toy-Cons on your own, you're in for quite the grind.
While all of the Labo kits before it have been a bit of a chore to put together, none have felt as complex as the VR kit.
The best part of building any Nintendo Labo Toy-Con is the thrill of knowing that you're done building it.
They aren't all that difficult to make, and take a minimal amount of concentration to complete, but the process of making any given one of the six Toy-Cons in the VR kit can feel a bit draining.
Don't get me wrong: I loved building the Labo VR kits. However, after I was done making even the basic VR Goggles Toy-Con, I didn't have much gusto left in me to actually play with it.
Thankfully, I kept building the kits until I found one that was awe-inspiring.
An immersive and gorgeous game
The next kit I built was the Toy-Con Bird. It was a bit harder to build than the VR Goggles, but seeing as I knew I already had half of it built with the VR Goggles, I was more inspired to complete it.
The bird itself looked a bit dorky, but as I attached the screws and washers, I could already see the VR experience coming together. The wings flapped somewhat realistically, and the tension as I squeezed the wing levers felt incredibly responsive.
Then, I turned on the Bird VR game.
Immediately, I was transported into a Breath of the Wild-like world. I had a smile planted firmly on my face, and I was ever so excited to be flying in a way that felt real. On top of that, there are pinwheel and pump Wind Pedal additions that further immerse you in the sky soaring VR experience. It was all breathtaking, and sold me on not only the functionality of the Nintendo Labo cardboard kits, but also on Nintendo's VR capabilities.
Cardboard and rubber bands make for an awkward combo
After the Bird VR Toy-Con, I built the Elephant Toy-Con. This kit left a lot to be desired. It was clunky, and didn't feel anywhere near as responsive as the Bird Toy-Con did.
That's a shame because I was eager to have another immersive experience in Nintendo's Labo VR line. Unfortunately, the awkward construction of the Elephant Toy-Con prevented me from experiencing the full wonder of the Elephant's games.
The vanilla VR games didn't have anything to really draw my attention, but that's not to say they weren't well-made. Everything I tried out was cute, and had a fun concept, but many could be experienced in seconds to get the gist of what they were about.
Room to grow
It seems a bit silly that the Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild free VR DLC updates weren't available for the launch of the Nintendo Labo VR kit. Those two games would have carried over their expertise in game design over to the somewhat lackluster VR games that come bundled with the Labo VR kit, perhaps making this kit feel more worth it.
There isn't much to bring you back to the VR games in this Nintendo Labo bundle. You can re-experience the joy and wonder of flying through candy-colored skies via someone else, but once the splendor effect has worn off, you won't find much reason to return to the world of Nintendo's VR.
The Nintendo Labo VR kit is a relatively affordable means of experiencing virtual reality, but I don't see this rivaling the Oculus Rift or PlayStation VR headset. The VR tech lies within the Nintendo Switch, and the VR Goggle Toy-Con could be versatile enough to spread over to other Nintendo video games.
However, the likelihood of games other than Mario and Zelda using this VR is slim. This is going to go down in the books as one of Nintendo's more obscure tech ventures, not unlike the failed 1995 Virtual Boy. It should make for a good parent-child bonding moment, and is even entertaining enough for an adult to build on their own, given you have enough patience to get to the fun part.
Technical tidbits FAQ
Can I wear my eyeglasses with Nintendo Labo VR?
Yes, and you should, if you usually wear them. I found that my nearsightedness made it very difficult to see the Switch's screen without them. The VR Goggles Toy-Con fit comfortably on my face, even when I was wearing my glasses.
Is this a good gift for kids?
Yes. Work with kids to help them build these simple but time-consuming kits (expect most to take anywhere near 1 1/2 to 2 hours to complete). Be careful to teach kids to heed the saftey warnings about not looking into bright lights while wearing the goggles, and to also not leave them in a place where sunlight could funnel through the goggles, potentially lighting a fire.
Is it worth it to buy the VR Starter Set or the full VR Kit?
Both come with the required Switch cart needed to run the VR games on your Switch. If you have the patience and means to purchase the full kit, I would say to go for the full set. The blaster is great, but the entire experience will be over once you've made it.

Michigan no fault work loss benefits are payable to an injured person for three years following an accident, covering 85% of the gross lost wages. The maximum benefit is raised each year. The No Fault insurance company will reimburse wage loss up to the monthly statutory maximum for 3 years after the accident. For 2017, the monthly maximum is $5452.00. A doctor's disability slip and proof that you were earning a wage are required. If you were looking for work or were temporarily unemployed at the time of an accident, you will still be able to receive benefits.

Flexible, Solar Cell Glass to Replace Roofs?
The U.S. government's National Renewable Energy Laboratory built flexible solar cells using a thin, pliable glass in partnership with Coring, the company that makes iPhone screens.
The flexible glass, called Willow glass, is made from solar cells that could last for decades on the roof as well as snow, rain, and hail. While conventional solar panels and bulky and heavy, new solar cells could be nailed to a roof in place of shingles.
"We knew from our optical fiber work that glass is actually stronger than steel when you try to pull it apart," Dipak Chowdhury, division price president and Willow glass commercial technology director at Corning, told Technology Review.
Normal glass is formed by floating a layer of molten glass on top of molten metal, then cooling it. Willow glass forms in air through an interaction in which molten glass glows over the edges of a long trough. The glass must be scratch-free to be strong; once it is not, it requires much less force to break.
Willow glass can replace traditional roofs. They would be more energy efficient, less cumbersome, and – not to mention – cheaper. The only extraneous labor cost would be hiring an electrician to plug the array of singles into an inverter and connect it to the grid.
Corning's glass could be used in thinner gadgets, as well. Rumors have been circulating that the solar cells are being used in Apple's iWatch .
These solar shingles are already available; Dow makes them. Glass-based shingles could be more durable than plastic, and is efficient at sealing out the elements.

Will we actually see the 400-horsepower E-Tense on the market? Only time will tell.
Remember the DS E-Tense? How could you not. The 402-horsepower (300-kilowatt) electric supercar concept made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show last March, and stole the show with its drop-dead-gorgeous good looks and imposing performance. Now it could be heading to production… possibly… maybe.
According Autocar, Citroen's luxury and performance sub-brand, DS, has filed a trademark for use of the E-Tense name. The filing suggests that the E-Tense could make its way to production, acting as the halo car for the brand. And what a halo car it would be.
Apart from its stunning design, the E-Tense uses an electric motor that produces 402 horsepower (300 kilowatts) and 381 pound-feet (516 Newton-meters) of torque at full tilt. From a standstill, it will sprint to 62 miles per hour (96 kilometers per hour) in just 4.5 seconds thanks to its advanced all-wheel-drive system, and continue on to a top speed of 155 mph (250 kmh).
Even with those impressive performance credentials, the E-Tense is capable of returning an estimated range of 192 miles (310 kilometers) on the European combined cycle, or 224 miles (360 kmh) of pure city driving. And if you think it looks like nothing more than a show car – don't be fooled. It was caught driving on public roads in Paris shortly after its Geneva Motor Show debut.
If the E-Tense does make its way to production, we likely won't see it any time soon. DS has already announced an SUV for the 2018 model year, meaning the E-Tense would follow soon after that. Rumors suggest it could be pushed back all the way to 2021, if at all.

Four Holes Swamp is a wonderously beautiful place. Within Four Holes Swamp, the Francis Beidler Forest is literally a place unlike any in the world. Its 1800 acres of old-growth forest have NEVER been cut. It is part of the mission of Audubon South Carolina to ensure the protection of both. Therefore, while checking our water level gauge, it was discouraging to see the disrespectful way some in our state treat this place and our other natural areas.
The litter shown in the images is but a sample of the human garbage strewn along the banks from Bridge Lake at the US Hwy 78 crossing to the swamp's terminus at the Edisto River upstream from Givhans Ferry State Park. In the swamp, the majority of the litter appears to be generated by those who have come to the swamp to enjoy the peace and solitude one finds when connecting with nature through fishing. And yet, they repay the resource for the pleasurable experience by leaving their worm tubs, fishing line, beverage containers, food wrappers, and cigarette debris.
The natural resources in our state belong to us all and we should all be offended by the poor treatment some citizens inflict upon us. Us because, as students learn when they visit the Francis Beidler Forest, the litter is visually offensive to visitors and residents alike and because litter in the swamp seldom remains in one place. High water will eventually take it downstream to the Edisto River, into the ACE Basin and out into the Atlantic Ocean to be washed upon the shores of community beaches and high-priced real estate.
Litter Trashes Everyone!

More about Iran Taxi In Iran
Taxi In Iran
About/Key Facts
Getting around the cities in Iran is particularly easy and cheap. You can get a taxi anywhere at any time. Still there are some notices you would better have in mind when you are in Iran.
Taxis in Iran are yellow in color but vary in type of the car. Sometimes you might find green or white taxis with a blue strip on them as well.
Since taxis in Iran have defined routes, you can find them in the main squares, plazas, and streets or even close to shopping malls and museums. For that, you need to know the city almost well, but there is no concern, wherever you go, a taxi will be there.
Taxis in Iran are usually shared , so you will get on a taxi with three strangers on the route. Naturally, you can always decide not to share the taxi, but in this case, you will have to wait for an empty taxi and tell to the driver that you need it alone. Here comes the pricing, if you get a taxi alone in a defined route, then you will have to pay as four people. However, if you ask the driver to get off during the route, you have to negotiate the price based on different routes you will pass to your destination, considering also the amount of traffic.
Anyway, whether you share a taxi with three strangers or not, taxi fees are relatively cheap in Iran. Here some prices are provided for you in Tehran taxi routes to give you more perspective. Tehran as the capital of Iran is the most expensive city, so prices in smaller towns are even cheaper than Tehran.
How to take a Taxi in Tehran
Private taxi
|Iran women taxi drivers
Yellow taxis are supposed to be private taxis, but any empty car will usually take you dar baste if you ask; just say, for example, 'Meydan Azadi dar baste'. The alternative is to get your hotel to call a 'wireless taxi' (133), which cost a little more. You could also call the Women's Taxi Company (1821), whose green taxis are driven by women, for women passengers only, and when you call to book you'll speak only to women then, too.
Shared taxi
Let's assume you are in the Azadi Sq. for a visit to the Azadi Tower and want to get to Darband in Tajrish Sq. for the lunch break. This direct taxi route is almost 22 km and would cost 26500 Rials (2650 Toman) or only 0.84 USD per person. Here, if you are going to share the taxi, like all Iranians, you need to wait till your taxi is full otherwise you need to inform the driver that you will pay for the rest. Even you can take the full taxi and pay for four which will not cost more than 3.36 USD.
As another example, assuming you are staying in Vanak area and you are planning to visit National Museum of Iran. Since there is no direct taxi route to the museum, you will have different possibilities to reach the museum:
-First:by taking different routes on a shared taxi (the cheapest way, but the longest);
-Second: by asking a taxi agency to drop you directly there (cheap and quick);
-Third: by stopping a taxi in the street, ask to drop you there and negotiate the price (might be more expensive, and almost quick).
For the first option, wherever you are in Vanak area, you need to get to the Vanak Sq. then find a taxi for Seyed Khandan Bridge (10 Km and 0.38 USD per person) from there you can get a taxi to Imam Khomeini Sq. for 0.6 USD per person (almost 8 km), and here you are, this is where you have 5 minute-walk away from the National Museum of Iran.
Imagine for this route you are going to take a taxi alone (third option), therefore most probably the taxi will ask for 3.92 USD and you can pay some more to take you to the entrance of the museum.
Still, not always you need to get to the taxi stops. If you stand in main street most probably taxis on their route will catch you.
Sometimes you might feel saving more money on your routes, then why not getting on van taxis? They are cheaper than regular yellow taxis but need more time to get full of passengers.
Taxi Agency
Besides regular yellow taxis, there are private taxi agencies all over the city which you can call and ask for a taxi.
This service is considered relatively expensive since you can customize your route. In this case, the taxi is not shared anymore.
If you are staying in hotel, most probably the reception can arrange a taxi for you. Even if you are staying in a friend's house, easily ask them to call a taxi.
This service is commonly referred as "phone taxi" in Iran.

At approximately 11:14 PM on Thursday, a British flagged vessel, the Atlantic Pioneer, entered Iranian territorial waters. Shortly before the ship entered Iranian claimed waters, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued a tweet condemning the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's Navy for its actions in the Strait of Hormuz. Specifically, he condemned actions taken against previous British vessels in the region.
The U.S. condemns the IRGC-Navy's attempt to harass the UK vessel near the Strait of Hormuz. We commend the Royal Navy in ensuring freedom of navigation and will continue to work with our allies to ensure the Iranian regime does not disrupt maritime security and global commerce.
— Secretary Pompeo (@SecPompeo) July 12, 2019
The Struggle for the Strait
The Atlantic Pioneer is not the first ship to enter the region. However, it is unique as there is no evidence of military escorts, which two British ships have previously received. This also comes on the heels of the seizure of an Iranian ship at Gibraltar. The Straits Times also reported that the United Kingdom did not intend to escort every tanker in the Strait of Hormuz.
On top of all this, Iran reportedly attempted to blockade a British tanker going through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, A British warship was escorting the vessel. Iran denied any attempts at blockading the ship but did warn that it might retaliate over the seizure at Gibraltar.
As of 11:39 PM, the Atlantic Pioneer was predicted to sail near Sirri Island. The island is home to oil fields and Iranian oil platforms. The United States bombed these platforms in 1988, and the infrastructure was later reconstructed.
Atlantic Pioneer is projected to pass relatively close to Sirri Island, an island belonging to #Iran pic.twitter.com/loFUauCKR7

@AviationTracker noted that there appeared to be boats stationed on the island, although whether they are a part of the Iranian Navy or not is unknown.
Looks like those Iranian Fast Attack boats could be stationed at that island. If these aren't them they most likely are anyways. pic.twitter.com/dhwmXBVtaD
— Aviation Tracker (@AviationTracker) July 12, 2019
Another British ship in the region, Hakusan, is following a safer path through the Strait of Hormuz by staying outside of Iranian territorial waters.
British flagged ship Hakusan is a good representation of what most British flagged ships have been doing lately. Treading the line right outside of the Iranian maritime line. pic.twitter.com/3beva99MyT
— Doge #RavensFlock 2-0 (@IntelDoge) July 12, 2019
If the Atlantic Pioneer has no naval escorts, then it would undebatably be a risky move for the vessel. If there is a naval escort, however, the United Kingdom could be attempting to send a message to Iran. Freedom of navigation has always been an issue for the Western powers in crucial shipping lanes, like the Taiwan Strait.
The Atlantic Pioneer may not be the last ship that sails near, or even into, Iranian territorial waters. Including the Atlantic Pioneer, there are reportedly six ships in the region.

Chelsea defender Terry is alleged to have abused Ferdinand in a recent Premier League match and both the English FA and London's Metropolitan Police are investigating the incident.
Terry, who has denied the claims, was asked to speak about the matter on Monday at a press conference ahead of a friendly against Sweden, but the questions were blocked by a member of the FA's media team.
Terry would only speak about his current mood, saying: "I'm in a great state of mind and focused on training. From my point of view, nothing's changed at all."
England skipper Terry was rested from last weekend's 1-0 friendly win over Spain, although manager Fabio Capello insisted this had nothing to do with the racism allegations.
Terry, due to play against Sweden at Wembley on Tuesday, said: "I think the players have showed we're united no matter what and put in a very good performance against Spain."
Midfielder Frank Lampard, a Chelsea team-mate of Terry, captained England on Saturday and with the team shutting out the world champions the central defender said it was always possible he could be dropped.
"I don't feel undroppable - I've never thought that with England or Chelsea," added Terry.
"If my form's not good enough the manager (Capello) is big enough to drop anyone, as we've seen.
"Every game we all feel we are playing for our places," the 30-year-old added.
"I'm in a great state of mind and focused on training. From my point of view, nothing's changed at all."
Meanwhile, Capello insisted he had no qualms about Terry's mood ahead of the Sweden match.
"He's here. He will be with us. He will be the captain," Capello said.
The Italian added he planned to make wholesale changes to his side for the Sweden match.
"There will be eight new players," he explained.
"They are two different games but the experience gained for these players is really important, in order to improve for the next match against Holland or for the Euros."
Asked about young Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge's possible England debut, Capello added: "One hundred percent, he will start on the bench.
"All of the young players who come from the Under-21s have been monitored for a long time. I spoke to Stuart (Pearce, England Under-21 coach) and the players' coaches and all of these people told me they are really, really good.
"Personally I checked on them too and have been really happy with their performances and their personalities and the confidence they play with. It's difficult to find such players with the confidence they showed against Spain."

In continuation to our previous article introducing 'Maven Build Tool', this article describes some of the most common terms encountered while using Maven. These terms, that have an explicit meaning for Maven, can sometimes be confusing for newcomers. As an Automation QA, you should at least be aware of the below 20+ Maven terminologies – commonly asked in a technical interview as well.
Automation Testing
What is Apache Maven? | Why use Maven in Test Automation Framework
Maven. You must have heard or read about this tool in your automation journey. Moving from a beginner to an automation expert requires knowledge of Selenium Tools Galaxy – Webdriver, Log4j, Extent Reports, Apache POI, TestNG, Maven, Jenkins and Cucumber. These tools serve different purpose in the automation galaxy and are a must-know if you really want to excel in your career as a Test Architect. This article is to introduce the 'Maven' tool, which is a Yiddish word meaning "accumulator of knowledge". But what is being accumulated here? The Selenium Automation project's build components. Let's kick-off with our Maven understanding…
How to perform Selenium Drag and Drop? Using Actions
Selenium Drag and Drop is one of the common scenarios in Automation testing. Let's say we have a web application where we need to drag an item from one location to another location. These kinds of complex actions are not available in basic element properties. Thankfully Selenium WebDriver has Advanced User Interactions API (Actions class) to perform this kind of advanced user interactions for rich applications.
How to explain Test Automation Framework to the Interviewer
Interview is the most important part of the employment process. It can make or break an opportunity. When it comes to Software Testing, almost all organizations are now looking for Automation engineers, SDETs, Selenium experts, Automation architects and what not. Since Manual testers are finding it tough to land a high-paying job switch, many have started learning the basics of Selenium automation (Yeah! Selenium is one of the most popular automation tool now-a-days). But interviewers demand practical experience. And interview questions reflect that view – starting from basic theoretical knowledge, slowly the interview will move towards – Explain Test Automation framework for your current project.
How to Switch from Manual Testing to Test Automation
There are lot of people who have Manual testing experience. When there is a walk-in interview you could see thousands of people with more experience than you have. So you have to differentiate yourself from others by adding extra skills to your resume. In a world where the consumer expects fast-paced delivery, and solutions must support a myriad of devices and platforms, manual testing simply doesn't enable the delivery pace that the market expects. The rise of automated testing in response to this has been rapid. Are you attempting a switch from Manual Testing to Test Automation? This transition won't come overnight. It takes months/years to lay the groundwork.
Essential Ingredients for Flawless Test Automation
Agile, Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery methodologies have evolved in favor of delivering the software faster. Software Test automation blends perfectly with these methodologies for accelerating the time to market. But achieving a flawless test automation is same as preparing a delicious dish where essential ingredients play a vital role in the success.
How to read data from a Web Table using Selenium
Tables are one of the primary design tools for HTML documents. Tables allow for greater control over page layout, allowing creation of more visually interesting pages. Table has rows and columns to store the data. I guess 50% IT industry will come to a halt if Microsoft Excel stops working 😉 that's the importance of tables in organizing data. Search results on many websites are often displayed in the form of table. E.g. try searching for a flight between X and Y on a travel website, what you get is a table of results. There are times when we need to access elements (usually texts) that are within HTML tables. In this article let's see how to read data from a Web Table using Selenium.
API Testing | What, Why, How, Tools, Challenges & Best Practices
Recently I am observing a rise of API Testing in the Job descriptions. I once did Web Services testing using SOAP UI testing tool, i.e. verifying the XML request-response. Thought it would be a good time to refresh the concepts. Anyways it was on my list since I started STS. When we look at the Software Testing trends, API testing is rising in priority & relevance. Let's deep dive into the world of API Testing…
Getting started with Test Automation Framework | Key parameters to keep in mind
Test Automation framework plays a vital role in the success or failure of any software automation project. For testers – it forms the foundation to a successful career. Software Testing involves multiple components like application-under-test, test cases, test data, test environment, etc. and a good automation framework needs to take care of all of these. In our pursuit to explore the topic of automation frameworks, let's get started with collating different aspects of software testing that are to be taken care when designing a Test automation framework.
What are the different types of Test Automation Frameworks?
Test Automation Framework, can make testing a lot systematic and increase the chances of your next career switch. We have been discussing what is Test Automation Framework and why do we need it. The goal is the rapid release of efficient, effective and reliable software, and realizing the benefits of automation testing requires adaptable methods and innovative software tools that optimize data. Test automation frameworks guide this convergence of methodology and technology. The framework provides the user with various benefits that helps them to develop, execute and report the automation test scripts efficiently. Moving on in our pursuit to learn more, this article attempts to cover different types of Test Automation frameworks.
Automation Testing is instrumental in improving Software Quality | Along with Manual Testers
Experts and Influencers from the Software Testing industry say that – Software Testing is one such process that has no end and it demands for improvement every now and then. Testing teams strive to deliver a well-tested software that can provide a seamless user experience in terms of functionality, performance and security. The ever-evolving scope of improvement in the Software Testing process to deliver a better-quality software compels to adopt new approaches. Manual Testers are finding it hard to stay relevant in today's evolving technology landscape.
Why do we need Test Automation Framework? The Benefits…
"How comfortable are you designing an Automation Framework from scratch?" – The very first interview question for a QA/Testing job opportunity now-a-days. What should I say? I am really good at Functional Testing? Nah! There is no space for manual testers. You HAVE TO start learning Automation. And it's not just about Automation scripting, interviews are more driven towards programming & building an automation framework. So here I am penning down my answers to all those automation interviews in a series of Automation Framework focused blogs. It's high time, really!
Technical vs Domain Tester | Which type are you?
A peculiar but prominent distinction – Technical vs Domain Tester. Yeah! We know both are necessary for a successful QA career, but after certain years of experience your resume tend to incline towards one or the other. We are not Rajinikanth after all Who wins the Technical vs Domain Tester battle? Nah! It's not a comparison between Deepanshu and Kanchan (we are together after all ;-)) but comparison between two different kinds of resume!
12 Small Changes = Big Impact to your Professional career!
Too much work, every day we stay late in office. Oh it just skipped my mind, sorry. Let's discuss it tomorrow. His/her mail is always ambiguous, let's discuss on call directly. They are discussing about the technical design, we (testers) need not attend. Hey developer – have mailed you the bug, please investigate. These are some of the common dialogues in our everyday IT life. Ever thought of changing something? Nah? Yes? Every one of us notices something errant but then forget about it the next moment. But we say – Small changes can make a big difference to your career.

I use to like L&L's Hawaiian Barbecue Chicken. Ever since I found out that I was allergic to chicken and gluten, I haven't eaten there in years. Nevertheless, here is my copycat version: Gluten Free Hawaiian Barbecue Turkey with homemade macaroni salad and steamed rice.
Gluten Free Hawaiian Barbecue Turkey
- 2.5 pounds Extra Lean Boneless Turkey Breast Tenderloins
- 1-1/2 cups Low sodium gluten free soy sauce
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
- In a large bowl, combine marinade ingredients then add tenderloins. Marinate in the refrigerator 4 to 5 hours.
- Pan-fry the tenderloins in a large skillet for 5-7 minutes per side until cooked through and is no longer pink.
- Serve with Homemade Macaroni Salad and a side of steamed rice.
