Bath City made it three wins from three in their opening games after snatching all three points from Whitehawk. City made the break through eleven minutes after the restart thanks to Nick McCootie; giving City their best start since the 2005/06 season.
Before looking at Bath's stand out performers from the game credit must be given to the staff and fans of Whitehawk. It was great to see a club with ambitions to climb the leagues. Looking around their club house there was an impressive array of newspaper clippings, player/staff profiles and action shots of the ground and their fans. The ground is being improved with extra seats behind both goals giving a great view of the action from the top.
There were free publications of a local football magazine in the bar and anti homophobic leaflets around the place. The turnstile operators were friendly and efficient along with the bar staff. Although there weren't many people at the game they did have a good hard-core of singing supporters. This added some much needed atmosphere to the game in a ground that hasn't established it's identity yet. Although next time try singing without the drum!
A view from behind the goal, clearly not as good as Simon's!
Also their stand out player was Sergio Torres who covered every blade of grass on the pitch. Dropping out of the league the flamboyant player won't have come cheap and if he can stay on his feet more he will chip in with a lot of goals and assists this season.
Back to Bath City: Sam Stevens has written a fantastic match report for the Bath Chronicle so do check that out for a traditional match report.
The goal itself looks like it was rather fortunate to be credited to McCootie from behind the goal. Ashley Kington's corner was punched clear by the Hawks keeper straight into the path of McCootie and two Hawks players. There was a bit of a scrambled reaction to the ball hitting McCootie and a defender. The goal is being credited to the forward was the least the powerful forward deserved as he held the line well and making intelligent runs into space.

Kevin Nicholson also impressed along with fellow new signing Steve Phillips in goal for City. Nicholson's free kicks and crosses are a big part of City's improved form adding a new threat which has been missing in recent seasons. City fans haven't seen such qualities in set pieces by a left footed player since Mark McKeever.
Since his spell with City his footballing career has changed a bit (taken from his Wiki page):
Bath City sent Mark on loan in January 2008 to Mangotsfield United, but he was soon transferred to fellow Conference South club Weston-super-Mare in March 2008 for his second stint with the club.
On 18 August 2009 he was forced to retire following injury.
McKeever was spotted by agent/talent scout Pauly White in the summer of 2009, and then joined East Worle FC. He won the second medal of his career lifting the Hospital Cup in May 2010 and followed that up with a Weston and District Division 1 winners medal in 2011. At East he was a firm fans favourite and could often be seen mixing with the fans in the bar after the game. McKeever decided to retire from Weston and District football at the top, throwing his future up in the air. Rumours have begun circulating that he may follow his old manager to Banwell. Until then McKeever can be seen dominating the 5aside league at priory school on a Thursday night.
Steve Phillips has also been a big difference in the way he controls his box and organises his defence. He also pulled off another top draw save in injury time to preserve City's 100% record this season. There was a strike at the death that looked destined for the top left hand corner but Phillips threw himself across to get a strong hand on it; the defence then clearing the danger.

It will always be a mystery why he joined up with Shepton Mallet last season in the Western League (well friends with the manager but still!) but all City fans will be grateful that he is with us this season. In these first few games he has already contributed 4 points that we maybe wouldn't have had last season.
One unsung hero of this rich vein of form City are enjoying at the moment is Matt Coupe. A few eye brows where raised on social media and the fans' forum when City decided to sign on the former fans favourite as defensive cover but he has delivered more then even the management could have expected.
In his first spell at the club, back in the old Southern League, Coupe was a tough tackling no nonsense defender. His disciplinary record was suspect to the frequent yellow cards and odd over the top challenge resulting in his fair share of reds. However during his time with the club he curbed this habit and played in nearly every position across the back line. He was a firm fans favourite thanks to his 100% commitment to the club and his leadership qualities.
The new and improved Matt Coupe
This season he has come on as a sub in the first game and played two full 90 minutes in the last two. He has brought a calm but strong voice to the back four adding to Phillips influence over some of the younger players. It's something this City side has lacked since, since Jim Rollo stopped playing regularly.
Tuesday night City go again with a home game against Maidenhead United, ko 7.45. This could see Coupe's 300th start for the club in another tough test for Lee Howells men. Make sure you don't miss it!

Mitchell Hashimoto is writing on the Svbtle network.
For years, the primary bottleneck for virtual machine based development environments with Vagrant has been filesystem performance. CPU differences are minimal and barely noticeable, and RAM only becomes an issue when many virtual machines are active. I spent the better part of yesterday benchmarking and analyzing common filesystem mechanisms, and now share those results here with you.
I'll begin with an analysis of the results, because that is what is most interesting to most people. The exact method of testing, the software used, and the raw data from my results can be found below this analysis.
In every chart shown below, we test reading or writing a file in some way. The total size of the file being written is fixed for each graph. The Y axis is the throughput in KB/s. The X axis is "record size" or the size of the chunks of data that are being read/written at one time, in KB.
The different test environments are native, VirtualBox native, VMware native, VirtualBox shared folders (vboxsf), VMware shared folders (vmhgfs), and NFS. The "native" environments refer to using the filesystem on its own in that environment. "native" is on the host machine, "VirtualBox native" is on the root device within the VirtualBox virtual machine, etc. NFS was only tested on VirtualBox because the performance characteristics should be similar in both VirtualBox and VMware.
For every chart, higher throughput (Y axis) is better.
First up is a sequential read of a 64 KB file, tested over various read record sizes. A real world application of a small sequential read would be loading the source files of an application to run, compile, or test.
The first thing you can't help but notice is that the read performance of NFS is incredible for small record sizes. NFS is likely doing some heavy read-ahead operations and caching to get this kind of performance. I don't have a good theory on how NFS outperforms the native virtual filesystems.
VMware shared folders just crush VirtualBox shared folders here. VirtualBox shared folder read performance is just abysmal. If you look at the raw data, you'll see the throughput actually never goes above 100 MB/s, while VMware never goes below 500 MB/s, and peaks at over 900 MB/s.
It is interesting that sometimes the native filesystem within the virtual machine outperforms the native filesystem on the host machine. This test uses raw read system calls with zero user-space buffering. It is very likely that the hypervisors do buffering for reads from their virtual machines, so they're seeing better performance from not context switching to the native kernel as much. This theory is further supported by looking at the raw result data for fread benchmarks. In those tests, the native filesystem beats the virtual filesystems every time.
This tested the throughput of randomly reading various parts of a 64 MB file, again tested with various read record sizes. This file is 1000x larger than in our previous test. This sort of behavior might be seen when dealing with database reads that hit the filesystem.
The gap between VMware shared folders and VirtualBox shared folders is widened considerably compared to small sequential reads. VirtualBox performs so badly you can barely see it. Again, VirtualBox throughput never peaks above 100 MB/s. VMware, on the other hand, is peaking at 7 GB/s. Because the deviation of the VirtualBox throughput is so small across various test cases, I theorize that there is a single hot path of code in the VirtualBox shared folder system limiting this. They're clearly doing something wrong.
NFS is less dominating, most likely because the read-ahead benefits are not seen in this test case. Still, NFS performs very well versus other options.
And, just as with the small sequential read, we're still seeing better performance within the virtual machine versus outside. Again, this can be attributed to the hypervisor doing clever buffering, whereas the raw syscalls to the host machine don't allow this to happen.
Let's look at the performance of sequential writes of small files. This most accurately describes storing session state, temporary files, or writing new source files.
The first noticeable thing is that NFS performance is terrible for these kinds of writes. There is no real caching that NFS can do here, so you must pay the full penalty for network overhead, then writing to disk on the host side, and finally waiting for an ack again the VM that the write succeeded. Ouch.
The various "native" filesystems perform very well. Again, the virtual machines outperform the host. And again, this can be attributed to buffering in the hypervisors.
The shared filesystems are close, but VirtualBox clearly outperforms VMware in this test case.
The final chart we'll look at are the results of testing random writes to a large (64 MB) file. Just like our large random read test, this is a good test for how a database would perform.
There really isn't much of a difference here versus small sequential writes. Because it is a large file, the gaps between the different test environments is larger, but other than that, the results are mostly the same.
NFS continues to be terrible at writes. VirtualBox shared folders continue to outperform VMware on writes, and the hypervisors outperform the host machine.
Hypervisors outperforming the host machine is the most interesting to me. The results of this test clearly show that the hypervisors must be lying about synced writes for performance. This corroborates what I've seen with Packer as well, where if the virtual machine is not cleanly shut down, committed writes are lost. fsync() in a virtual machine does not mean that the data was written on the host, only that is is committed within the hypervisor.
With regards to shared filesystems, VMware has the behavior you want. Loading web pages, running test suites, and compiling software are all very read heavy. VMware shared folder read performance demolishes VirtualBox, while the write performance of VirtualBox shared folders is only marginally better than VMware.
If you have the option to use NFS, use it. Again, the read performance is far more valuable than the write performance.
Hypervisor read/write performance is fantastic (because they cheat). Thanks to this data, I'm definitely going to be focusing more on new synced folder implementations in Vagrant that use only the native filesystems (such as rsync, or using the host machine as an NFS client instead of a server).
More immediately applicable, however: if you use virtual machines for development, move database files out of the shared filesystems, if possible. You'll likely see huge performance benefits.
Finally, I don't think there are any huge surprises in these results. Vagrant has supported NFS synced folders since 2010 because we realized early on that performance in the shared folders was bad. But having some hard data to show different behaviors is nice to have, and provides some interesting insight into what each system might be doing.
The host machine is a 2012 Retina MacBook Pro with a 256 GB SSD running Mac OS X 10.9.1. Tests here were labelled native.
VirtualBox is version 4.3.4 running a virtual machine with Ubuntu 12.04 with the VirtualBox guest additions installed and enabled. The root device under test in VirtualBox is formatted with an ext3 filesystem. Tests on the root device were labelled VirtualBox native while tests on the shared folder system (vboxsf) were labelled VirtualBox shared folders (vboxsf).
VMware Fusion is version 6.0.2 running a virtual machine with Ubuntu 12.04 with VMware Tools 5.0 installed and enabled. The root device under test in VMware is formatted with an ext3 filesystem. Tests on the root device were labelled VMware native while tests on the shared folder system (vmhgfs) were labelled VMware shared folders (vmhgfs).
The NFS server used is the one built and shipped with OS X 10.9.1. The NFS client is what comes with the nfs-common package in Ubuntu 12.04. NFS protocol 3 was used over UDP. Tests using NFS were labelled NFS in VirtualBox.
The benchmarking software used was the Iozone Filesystem Benchmark compiled from source for 64-bit Linux. The same binary was used in every instance except for the native test, which used a 32-bit OS X binary of Iozone compiled from source. The flags passed to Iozone were -Racb.
Unless otherwise noted, the remaining settings not mentioned here were defaults or not touched.
The raw data for the tests can be found in this Excel workbook. There are also more graphs for this data in this imgur album.
: This is in the case of a standard web development environment. They are typically neither CPU bound nor RAM-intensive.

"A Great Place for Food and Shopping"
There's a Plaza on this street, and I love coming here. There are so many restaurant here, including one of my favorite dim sum restaurants. There's a restaurant here called Dim Sum King and they serve dim sum there all day. I love eating dim sum there. There's is a small boutique in the plaza that I love visiting every time I go there. They sell many interesting and cute trinkets and accessories at reasonable prices.
It's also a easy place for shopping, since there's also a Safeway in the plaza.


Rhowari Legacy is an Act 2 side quest, offered by Amkala after gaining Honored Faction status with the Rovers.
Amkala tells you of the shrine to Mogdrogen, far away in the Asterkarn Mountains, which is sacred to the Rovers. The shrine has been destroyed by the Cult of Ch'thon and it's pieces scattered. Amkala asks you to recover the pieces and restore the shrine.
The Runed Stone of Mogdrogen can be found in the Ashen Waste, while the Spirit of Mogdrogen can be found in The Forsaken Wastes. Both quest items have randomised spawn points and will be resting on the ground. A Star icon on the minimap will indicate your proximity.
The Ancient Heart can be farmed for from Beasts or retrieved from the player stash.
Take the three items to the ruined shrine of Mogdrogen, located on the eastern edge of the Asterkarn Valley. Placing the items in the shrine will release three waves of chthonic creatures. When these are defeated the avatar of Mogdrogen will appear. Speak to him and he will grant the reward for completing the quest.
Far to the north, in the Asterkarn Mountains, the Cult of Ch'thon has desecrated the Shrine of Mogdrogen, a place sacred to the Rovers. Amkala has asked you to recover the parts of the shrine that had been stolen by the cultists and to restore the shrine by returning the pieces, along with an Ancient Heart, to the Shrine. The pieces are lost to the void, through rifts open in the Blood Grove, to the north of Homestead, and the Plains of Strife, north of Fort Ikon.
You have restored the Shrine of Mogdrogen, but the Chthonians infesting the area are manifesting themselves. Destroy them all.
You have cleansed the Shrine of Mogdrogen. An Avatar of Mogdrogen has appeared from the Shrine to thank you for your service. Speak to him.

Senator PUPLICK(3.38) —The Aussat Pty Ltd report raises two issues which I would like to examine. One relates to the matter that I was discussing yesterday, the report on remote commercial television services, and deals with the problem of the equalisation of television services. The other deals with the matter of space technology. I am pleased that the Minister for Industry, Technology and Commerce (Senator Button), who is responsible for this area, is in the chamber at the moment.
Senator Button —I am not if I have to listen to you for half an hour.
The Minister for Communications also announced during the year the policy intention that there would be a further expansion of commercial television broadcasting throughout Australia through the concept of equalization of services. This will provide further potential for the use of AUSSAT facilities for the relaying of commercial broadcasting programs throughout Australia.
As I said in discussing the report yesterday, the Government appears to have induced a great deal of confusion into the future of the broadcasting industry by pursuing policies such as equalisation of services at the same time as it is claiming that it has maintained a commitment to localism in broadcasting. Clearly, that is an area which needs to be sorted out fairly promptly by the Government. The Government needs to come down on one side or the other on two policies which are, I believe, mutually exclusive.
The second point which arises in this comment about Aussat is that I am glad to see that the Channel 7 network has now decided to join the 9 and 10 networks to take up some transponder capacity although, for various strategic reasons which I do not think it appropriate to go into in this debate, they have decided to take out a lease on a 12-watt transponder on the existing facility rather than the 30-watt transponders which have been taken by Channel 9 and Channel 10. I think that Channel 9 and Channel 10 are likely to come to the conclusion that, financially, Channel 7 has been a great deal wiser in this matter and they will come to regret having succumbed to the pressures that were put upon them to get into the 30-watt transponder. I believe the 12-watt transponder arrangement that Channel 7 has taken will give it, firstly, access before the others and, secondly, access to more lucrative regional markets to which they are aiming.
Senator Button —Senator, I want to withdraw what I said earlier. What you are saying is very interesting and I agree with a lot of it. I apologise.
Operational decisions of the year included the selection of the ARIANE rocket to launch the third satellite . . .
Mr Acting Deputy President, as you know, the previous satellites have used the American space shuttle facility. The decision to use the Ariane facility, which was developed through fundamentally French technology but was supported by other countries in the Common Market, I think, again, is an indication of something which the Minister will have immediately before him; that is, the recommendations of the Madigan report and the very strong support that has been given to that by Dr Ken McCracken of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation and others in terms of the development of an indigenous space industry. I know that Senator Button and his Department have been keen to promote this and have already indicated that money will be made available at an initial stage for the first series of proposals arising from the Madigan report.
I think that that report and the influence which it is likely to have on government will be quite significant. I have no doubt that this Government is likely to view that with a considerable degree of enthusiasm. I think that in terms of developing one of the potential areas of high technology benefit for Australia, both financially and in scientific, technical and other services, Senator Button has a most exciting prospect within his ministerial capacity to respond to the Madigan report. Hopefully, we will reach the stage where, with an indigenous Australian space industry, we will be able not only to build but also to launch, monitor and make use of our own satellite resources throughout Australia, which will be of benefit to the whole community, to the electronics industry and to technological development in Australia as a whole.

Few changes to the Danish roster compared to the team that played Norway, France and Latvia in December 2017, but two of the new players will be interesting to follow: They are both U15 players, and it doesn't happen often that an underage is used on the U16 national team. In fact last time it happened was 6 years ago. The players are the hugely talented (in a Danish context) Marcus Almquist who is currently playing for Swedish youth team Malmö and Philip Nolsøe, AaB. Marcus Almquist seems to be the most promising youth player to come out of Denmark since Nikolaj Ehlers. Philip Nolsøe from Aalborg has been a beast in both the Danish U15 and U17 league this season and was elected best forward at the Danish U15 championship a couple of weeks ago.
Even though the Danish team had trouble in the last tournament, it is actually pretty good. They just need to get rid of the awful amount of personal mistakes that were made last time.
A great tournament for Marcus Almquist, Denmark (U15 player).
He got 5 goals and 1 assist for 6 points in total, and ended up with +7 and 24 shots on goal. That made him Danish top scorer in goals and he had most shots on goal of all. He did benefit of playing on a really good second line though. For a comparison; the other Danish U15 player who participated (Philip Nolsøe) didn't make a single point.

The following list of best practices is not all-inclusive but will help ensure proper name resolution within an Active Directory domain. But you must be aware of dns configuration settings too.
In a small environment, at least one domain controller (DC) should be a DNS server. It is possible to install DNS on servers which are not DCs, including non-Windows servers, but installing DNS on DCs allows the use of AD-integrated lookup zones, which improve security and simplify zone replication.
In a larger environment, at least two domain controllers at each physical site should be DNS servers. This provides redundancy in the event that one DC goes offline unexpectedly. Note that domain-joined machines must be configured to use multiple DNS servers in order to take advantage of this.
If multiple DCs are configured as DNS servers, they should be configured to use each other for resolution first and themselves second. Each DC's list of DNS servers should include its own address, but not as the first server in the list. If a DC uses only itself for resolution, it may stop replicating with other DCs. This is obviously not an issue in a domain with only one DC.
All domain-joined computers must use only internal DNS servers.
If a domain-joined computer is configured to use an external server as an alternate DNS server, a temporary lack of connectivity to an internal DNS server will cause that machine to begin using the external server for resolution. That external server will be unable to resolve queries for anything inside the AD domain, and the client machine will not automatically revert to the internal DNS server when connectivity is restored. This generally manifests itself as an inability to access resources in the domain from the affected machine.
In a multi-site environment, domain members should be configured to use the DNS servers at their local site before those at a different site.
These directory partitions replicate along with the rest of AD; therefore, no extra configuration is required for the DNS replication. This prevents updates to DNS records from machines which are unable to authenticate with the domain.
These are the essential processes about which you need to be well aware of as only then you will be able to have a proper sense of right and wrong when it comes to the perfect DNS choice. The choice is not easy to make but the end result happens to be perfect if you make the right pick. The result happens to be perfect in that case and you can also get long term benefit from it. This is the kind of option that you can look for.
Do you want to hire a 3d visualization artist, but can't choose between an outsourced company and a freelancer? After reading this article you'll probably make a choice.
If you're a game developer, or you just in search of a good specialist working with 3d modeling, it can be hard to find the right person. Hiring an office worker is impossible because you don't even have an office, that's why you're choosing between a freelancer and an outsourced 3d art studio. Today we'll try to help you with this decision.
Of course, it doesn't matter who you'll choose finally – risks will be anyway. But let's try to compare in which case there are more of them or they are more harmful.
A freelancer received an advanced payment, send you to a blacklist, deletes an account from a 3d artist portfolio website, and you never see the stranger again.
You tell a new employee your idea, describe what you want to receive and he/she refuses to work with you, stoles the idea and realizes it earlier than you.
You've discussed the project, set the deadlines, but a freelancer failed to send you a project in time – you lose money, time and temper.
An outsourced company turns bankrupt and doesn't finish the project.
A leak of data – the same as with the previous variant.
You and the company have different standards and methodology.
The quality of result: who provides the better one?
Generally, working with a 3d art outsourcing is more predictable. Thank a company's experience and concern about the reputation, artists try to correspond to a declared level. Also, in such studios, there are project managers who check every step 2-3 times before sending to an employer. All in all, it seems that this option gives a better result.
Freelancers, however they're interested in having high ratings and positive reviews, are more unpredictable. You never know what will happen, and a freelancer can refuse from your project. It's not a problem to create a new profile on a 3d artist website and start everything once again.
Of course, some freelancers estimate their working hours cheaper. It can be caused by low-level experience, high competition level and wish to take any project offered. But who's happy working for peanuts? So, be ready for mistakes, corrections and failed deadlines.
Outsourced companies like 3dreach know what they offer and how much it costs. Sometimes the price is higher than a freelancer offers, but you pay for evenness and reliability.
Now you recognize, approximately, how a modem works, you can ignore it, just as you probably do not care how your WONDER 64 sound card generates that 3D surround audio result. Very same There are still a few decisions to make when you get to your neighbourhood modem shop. Oh, and the various other point is that sense of the clever way they work, 56Kbps modems can only download data at the faster speed, they still have to publish at the slower, yet commendable rate of 33Kbps.
Essentially, a modem is a gadget that takes analog waves which are sent over telephone lines, and converts them right into a digital signal which can be checked out by a computer and after that back to an analog signal to take a trip through the phone line when again. You do desire a good modem or you are going to have a never ever ending headache like my mama's modem provided me all through Jr. From what I have actually reviewed the quick begin guide that comes on takes you quickly via all the actions you require to arrangement the modem.
The second gadget required is a wireless router takes the connection the internet connection, generally from a modem, and transmits it to wireless tools.192 168 1 1 login The router requires to be effective sufficient to take care of as numerous tools and bandwidths as you normally demand. You also need it to be secure enough to keep your personal privacy and info safe. After browsing I found a router that would certainly satisfy the needs of most college students.
The router I located was the Cisco Linksys – E1000 Wireless-N Router. This router would not hold up to having dozens of gadgets linked and active at the same time, but it can handle a couple of, which would be enough for a lot of college students. The router also has a 300 mbps information transfer price, which is plenty quick sufficient to fulfil the demands of lots of people. The Cisco Linksys E1000 is an N router, which is the most recent network variation, but it is also suitable with older B and G criteria.
If we think about the types of programs that every translator has to know how to use perfectly, we will rarely go beyond the word processor, the translation memory managers or the terminology bases, although we only use them if our clients require it.
However, there is a category of programs that are fundamental to the day-to-day life of the independent translator: optical character recognition (OCR) programs. For those who do not know them, this type of program fulfills the noble task of converting image files into editable format (for example, a directory document that arrived on paper and we scan it for later into Word) or PDF files, which they are the ones who give us the most headaches.
Now, some will say that there are many web pages that allow converting images or PDF to text files. However, you will surely have experienced the enormous headache that is working with Word files converted by Internet sites since in most cases not only have format problems, but also bring many parts of text without recognizing, about all in the images themselves, for example, in the case of a manual.
Abbyy Fine Reader 12, the most prominent of allthe OCR programs I know and use (and, for me, the best), will instantly convert us an image or a PDF to Word , but if the result is not very good because the document The original is complex, it will allow us to decide for ourselves how to recognize or read the original document before converting it to the format in which we will translate.
In this note, we will see in five steps how to get the most out of the tool, but first we will quickly learn how to make a simple conversion; that is, if I have a PDF or image file without too many complications, I use the Abbyy Fine Reader 12 to convert it to Microsoft Word .
This process is relatively simple: first, we open the program and, when we see the table of the different tasks that we can do with the https://abbyyindia.in/ , we select File of image or PDF to Microsoft Word (before, we must make sure to choose the correct language of the document so that the recognition is more accurate). Next, we choose the file that we want to convert to Word and that's it. We wait a few moments, and the program will directly generate a Word file that we can save and use.
It is very important to remember that PDF files were previously created with a design program like Adobe InDesign. Therefore, although the Abbyy FineReader can help us a lot to generate a translatable document, the final result will not be exactly the same as the PDF of origin since, to achieve that, we would have to have the file from which the PDF was generated.
Cloud computing, a solution widely used to save data, by professionals, but also by individuals. How to use this type of tool, and what are its advantages? Some tips for this system to be less cloudy.Cloud computing literally refers to computing in the cloud. It allows users to host their data on an external server, and to synchronize them on several terminals.
In practice, files are stored virtually. They are accessible from any computer or mobile device connected to the Internet, and equipped with a cloud application.
How to use the cloud?
The public cloud is designed by a third party provider (Google, Windows, a telephone operator like SFR), and made available to private or professional users.
The public cloud does not mean that the files are accessible to anyone. By carefully configuring sharing settings, it is possible to define which users have the right to view and / or modify files.
The private cloud is mostly used in business. The tool is usually tailored to the needs of the structure and can only be used by employees.
Its mode of operation remains similar to that of a public cloud solution.
Documents stored in the cloud can be accessed from any device with a connection to the Internet.
Android smartphones and tablets bring together two software environments: one specific to the manufacturer (Samsung, Huawei and others) and that of Google, which requires them to install by default its mobile applications. In the settings ("Accounts", then "Google"), you can choose to synchronize data between equivalent applications. Thus, an appointment is automatically added to both calendars (S Planner at Samsung, for example, and Google Calendar). The best in cloud solutions are there now.
Once hosted on Google's servers, this data is available from any device with your credentials. Google offers 15GB of storage, beyond it will pay ($ 1.99 / month for 100GB, $ 9.99 / month for 1 TB).
What should be considered when it comes to music quality?
You can expect good sound quality from all the music streaming services that currently now offer online music. At CD quality most providers also do not reach with their paid offers. Basically paying customers receive a higher sound quality via the premium access. The better quality is best heard if the equipment is right stereo system, Bluetooth speakers or headphones. This is especially true for streaming provider whose figurehead is the lossless hi-fi streaming. Who uses music streaming almost exclusively on the smartphone and no noble headphones can also stay with this free account.
The language assistants Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri are becoming more and more popular. Among other things this is due to the fact that more and more speakers are published with the Alexa or the Google Assistant on board. Among other things the integrated language assistants work closely with the various music streaming services. So you can control the playback options on demand, request the play of certain playlists, radio stations, artists, songs or albums. In addition, you will control previously created speaker groups for playback in multi-room environments.
The music streaming services are constantly evolving. Podcasts, audiobooks and even videos are now among the services offered. Moviebox app makes all media types available and offers the most. Various audio books and radio plays can be found at all providers. Apple Music users switch to the corresponding iTunes category. Amazon Music Unlimited, Napster and Google Play Music users need no podcasts.
Podcasts are media files that can be read or played online via a web feed. A podcast consists of different episodes that automatically update themselves via the feed. Some podcasts deliver a new episode every day, some every few days and others every week, etc. All episodes that have been released so far can be overheard time and again with Movie box for PC. There are podcasts on all sorts of different topics, from beauty and lifestyle to business and politics to cooking and DIY. All major radio stations offer podcasts on economic, political, social and cultural issues.
You basically need an internet connection to access the music repertoire. However, all music services offer you an offline mode. This allows you to select the music at home, load them on your smartphone or notebook and then listen on the go without an internet connection. Of course, you'll need to be connected to the internet for downloading once but using it will not require any connection. Listening to online music is nothing but a fashion of today and tomorrow. If yu do not have it then you are struggling against the fashion.
● Obtaining the application from the client through a call or on the site.
● Processing of the application by the operator.
● Communication with the central office.
How to make more effective working process? You need to implement business process management. And choose the right BPM in bank bpmonline.com/l/bpm/industries/banks. There are the lot of options, the simplest – automation. Having replaced the accountant scores with the calculator,it is already possible to accelerate his work (and consequently working process) several times. In our case with the bank increase in efficiency of the working process is possible to reach, having passed to more perfect mobile communication or more high-speed system infrastructure.
As for business processes, it absolutely another concept. It concerns not the employee and the operations performed by him, but to the processes proceeding in the company.
Once again – on an example that it was more clear.
● The manager posts vacancies on the website and communicates with applicants by phone.
● Then he holds with them personal meetings.
● At the central office of the company, the employee accepts the summary and documents from applicants.
● The branch director, where there is a vacancy, conducts a final interview with the employee.
As we see, the working process describes, which of employees what operations perform.
● The company looks for the employee.
● Applicants are attracted through third-party advertising platforms.
● The manager makes preliminary elimination of improper applicants.
● Perspective communicates with the branch director.
● The company considers their documents.
Effective management of business processes is inseparable from a concept of bottlenecks, what are those stages at which there are problems or which are too resource-intensive for the company. In this example such places are the excess number of interviews: for the elimination of obviously improper applicants, the personal meeting gives the excessive load of the manager.

The pub on the big roundabout!
The Shepherd & Flock, 22 Moor Park Lane, Farnham, Surrey, GU9 9JB.
We played our first gig at this pub – our second that day following a lunch time party. We had a great time, and thanks for the great feedback from everyone who was there. And thanks for the great food!
We hope to be back soon so make sure you sign up to our mailing list so you don't miss out on any other Farnham gig dates.


Harry you were always a loving man of God to your family and all the other families from the church. You will be missed here but God needed you.
I am so grateful that I was privileged to have Harry (and Mary) as my friend. I have special memories of him that I will never forget. My prayers are with the family because I know how hard it is to have someone you love so very much to go on ahead of you to their heavenly home. I rejoice with Harry but I grieve with the family. My prayers will be with the family for now and for many days to come. God bless. We have a hope that one day we will all be together once again.
Harry was such a great guy in so many ways. When I was growing up, he drew one-of-a-kind birthday cards for all five kids in my family.
I loved his sense of humor, his love for my dogs T-Bones & Ralph & the joy he brought to life.
Harry will always have a special place in my life.
My heart goes out to the family! Longevity is certainly a blessing, and death at any age is too soon. Sickness & death is unnatural and not a part of God's original purpose, so for good reason the Bible calls death an enemy- one that God through Jesus Christ will soon eliminate (1 Corinthians 15:26). May this hope bring the family comfort during this difficult time.

The year was 1906. We remember Josephine Butler, an evangelical Anglican. The reading is "Carol of the Poor Children" by Richard Middleton.
It is the 30th of December 2020. Welcome to the Christian History Almanac brought to you by 1517 at 1517.org. I'm Dan van Voorhis.
The Year was 1906.
There was a general unease in the Victorian social settlement. The so-called "gay 90s" were a time of carefree living and relative comfort. However, the second industrial revolution had produced new classes of poor and overworked citizens.
The second industrial revolution was referred to as the "dynamo" by Henry Adams in his 1906 autobiography "the Education of Henry Adams." In this classic work, he reflects on America's rapid changes and the world since the middle of the 19th century.
Another book published in 1906 with similar themes was Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle." "The Jungle" is a story about a Lithuanian immigrant who comes to America searching for the American dream. However, it is a dream denied, as the dangerous working conditions and anti-immigrant sentiment are among the other things that disenchant him. The conditions described in the book of the packing plants led to the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act's passing.
One more publication in 1906, Edith Wharton's "The House of Mirth" was published. The tragic tale of Lily Bart examined the social life of the elite and the vanity of class and wealth.
All published in 1906, these three popular books reflect the anxiety of modernity, the plight of the poor, and the crumbling class system. Unsurprisingly, we see in the church at this time many of the same themes. To what extent should the church embrace modern modes of thought regarding ecclesiology, representation, and organization? And how might the church recommit herself to the poor, and how are both material and spiritual needs met with the Gospel?
Today we remember one pioneer in the church and society who was born amongst characters resembling Wharton's but would spend her life serving the likes of those characters in Sinclair's "The Jungle." On this, the 30th of December in 1906 that Josephine Butler, an evangelical Anglican who Millicent Fawcett called the 'the most distinguished Englishwoman of the nineteenth century," died at the age of 78.
Josephine Butler was born in 1828 into the well-to-do Grey family. Her father, John, was a cousin to Prime Minister Earl Grey. Josephine was baptized into the Anglican Church but, by her own account, did not take her faith very seriously until she was in her late teens. Going for a ride in the countryside, she came across the corpse of a suicide. Along with this, she was in Ireland with her brother during the Irish potato famine. Josephine wrote, "As a young girl, I had no conception of the full meaning of the misery I saw around me, yet it printed itself upon my brain and memory."
In 1852, Josephine married George Butler, an Anglican minister, and teacher. The couple had four children. However, they tragically lost their youngest girl, Eva, who fell to her death from an upper story railing as her mother watched in horror. After this, Josephine threw herself into charity and social reform, working on behalf of the most destitute. Her reforming work helped to raise the age of consent in England from 13-16. This helped cripple a child slavery ring across Europe. Butler also worked with Florence Booth, the daughter-in-law of Salvation Army founder William Booth.
Josephine wrote:
"[I] became possessed with an irresistible urge to go forth and find some pain keener than my own, to meet with people more unhappy than myself."
She spent her life wrestling with the institutional church's role and that of individual Christians working together for the common good. She believed that the spiritual realities of the Gospel might affect real-life situations as well. At the turn of the century, she began to resign from various boards as her health began to fail. She spent the last five years of her life out of the spotlight and in declining health. In 1981 the Josephine Butler College was named at Durham University, 75 years after the voice of the outcast, Josephine Butler died.
The reading for this, the 6th day of Christmas, is the "Carol of the Poor Children" by Richard Middleton.
WE are the poor children, come out to see the sights
On this day of all days, on this night of nights;
The stars in merry parties are dancing in the sky,
A fine star, a new star, is shining on high!
We are the poor children, our lips are frosty blue,
We cannot sing our carol as well as rich folk do;
Our bellies are so empty we have no singing voice,
But this night of all nights good children must rejoice.
We do rejoice, we do rejoice, as hard as we can try,
A fine star, a new star is shining in the sky!
And while we sing our carol, we think of the delight
The happy kings and shepherds make in Bethlehem to-night.
Are we naked, mother, and are we starving-poor—
Oh, see what gifts the kings have brought outside the stable door;
Are we cold, mother, the ass will give his hay
To make the manger warm and keep the cruel winds away.
We are the poor children, but not so poor who sing
Our carol with our voiceless hearts to greet the new-born King,
On this night of all nights, when in the frosty sky
A new star, a kind star is shining on high!

Avant Garde: Mosaic by Maceo – New Years Day, 2017
Avant Garde are in danger of becoming the club-night equivalent of a life support machine, pumping the acid, if not the amino back into London's increasingly sclerotic frame. You'd have more luck finding a glimpse of knicker in a Saudi soap opera than you would the same gusset-searing audio thrills Maceo Plex, Modeselektor, Tennis, Eagles & Butterflies & Axel Boman delivered at Bankside Vaults this New Years Day.
Equally elusive around here is a large-scale commercial night that captains a crowd and a vibe as on point as its beats. Avant Garde consistently pull an oozy-warm, music focussed lot. A far cry from the band of human-analgesic techno tourists that often put the brakes on a night of this size in the U.K.
Half an hour before closing at 8.30 am, the night's almost at capacity with 1500 people still reeling on 125 BPM. Axel Bowman's mercurial 2 hour impromptu B2B with DJ Tennis, together with Maceo Plex spinning out ACDC – and the crowd- in the final hour, laid a salvational smack of stardust on the tail-end of an otherwise sorry year. Meanwhile Denis Horvath, EG's spandex-hot tip for 2017, dolled out a set so grabby, Tinder should likely consider his Soundcloud in favour of its algorithm as flirt-bot come 2018.
EG caught up with co-founder Nick Bell – British pilot come techno masseuse – to enquire about the driving force behind Avant Garde's own particular brand of fun:
EG: Tell us the story behind Avant Garde?
AG: We started early 2014 with a view to bringing a more, well, melodic sound to the London club scene. We've always been fans of electronic live acts and electronic music that was actually musical, rather than just a repetitive kick drum; both Ben (Prince, co-founder) and I had a definitive musical direction of where we wanted to go. It seems there was a group of people that felt the same.
EG: What have been the highlights for you?
AG: The first Maceo one was up there. As well as having Apparat and Trentemoller play for us in 2015, both are icons of the scene and thoroughly nice guys to boot. The Apparat event was something of a breakthrough for us and established the brand in London, allowing us to reach beyond the smaller group of friends and followers who attended the Corsica Studios events. I've heard a number of people say they miss those smaller events, so I'm sure those more intimate events are something we'll look into revisiting in 2017.
EG: Music's rarely an easy ride?
AG: It's been a huge battle to get where we are, and we've come close to the edge plenty of times. Margins are razor thin and the competition are ruthless. We've always put on events with the thought that we'd do it 'the right way', which inevitably means 'the hard way'.
With an increasing emphasis on live acts, including RA polled top three, KiNK and Stephan Bodzin set to play this year, we can expect more magic to follow from London's finest emerging funsters in 2017. Despite every effort to the contrary, EG has been unable to get the lowdown on a 'big, big upcoming project' set for imminent release, but this, alongside some exciting festival collaborations mean that the only way is up right now for a night that does exactly what it says on the tin.

The neck is a complex part of the human anatomy. Also referred to as the cervical spine, the neck is more susceptible to injury than the thoracic spine (upper and middle back) and lumbar spine (lower back) as it has less built-in protection than the other parts of the spine. It is also the most flexible section of the spine, and its job is to support and help move the head. The neck is comprised of vertebrae, spinal cord, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Neck pain can be related to one or more of these elements that make up the neck.
Have you ever had a pain in the neck? It may sometimes be used as a cliché, but when you actually experience neck pain it is no joking matter. The intensity of pain can range from mild to severe and may be accompanied by difficulty turning or moving your neck. The area may be tender when touched. Other areas of the body can also be affected when your neck hurts, such as tingling or numbness in the arm or hand. You might have a headache, jaw pain, dizziness, imbalance, or ringing in the ears.
The most common cause of neck pain is damage to the soft tissues, such as muscles, ligaments or nerves. This can result from trauma or an injury, or even just sleeping in an incorrect position. The aging process also causes wear and tear on the soft tissues that can lead to neck pain. Other causes of neck pain include poor posture, disease, infection, deformities, trauma, tumors, spondylosis or cervical spinal stenosis.
If your neck pain lasts only a couple of days and you suspect it is from something simple like sleeping wrong, you should be fine without medical intervention. Ongoing or severe pain requires a proper diagnosis from a qualified professional like Dr. Fischer at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City. A physical and neurological examination will be performed, as well as a detailed medical history. An X-ray or CT scan may also be helpful in confirming the diagnosis.
Conservative treatment is the preferred way to deal with neck pain. This may involve pain medication, anti-inflammatory medication, muscle relaxants, activity modification, physical therapy, or spinal injections. Some patients are advised to wear a neck collar to limit movement and therefore reduce pain. Sometimes alternative methods like chiropractic care are recommended.
Surgery is typically only recommended if non-surgical methods do not improve symptoms, and if neurological problems or neck instability were part of the diagnosis. It is uncommon for neck pain in most patients to result in surgery. Consulting NYC Spine Surgeon Dr. Fischer for a full evaluation and treatment plan is a great way to get you on the path to recovery from neck pain.

Harrisonburg Falls to Front Royal
Written by Nathan Rishell
Harrisonburg, VA – Friday night, Turks fans filed into Veteran's Memorial Park apprehensive of the ominous rain clouds that loomed overhead, but were pleasantly surprised to see the skies clear in anticipation of a contest against the Front Royal Cardinals.
The evening featured the fourth MedExpress Family Fun Night of the season, replete with a variety of games and activities for people of all ages. However, once the focus shifted to the first pitch, it was all business.
Lights-out defense by the Turks ensured that Ty Andrus stepped to the plate at the top of the order without facing a deficit. Despite the first three batters making solid contact on the ball, solid fielding by the Cardinals sent Harrisonburg to the dugout with the score tied at nil.
In the second, a series of errant pitches resulted in the bases being loaded for the Cardinals, who capitalized by recording four runs on five hits. The Turks secured a spot on the scoreboard after Tony Beam reached home following a triple from Greg Popatak, but would have to wait until the bottom of the seventh to add another—with Beam recording his second run of the night.
Front Royal produced six runs over the course of two innings in the seventh and eighth to seal the deal in an 11-4 win that provided plenty of talking points for the coaches of a Harrisonburg team that will look to shore up any deficiencies before the end of the season and upcoming playoffs.
