Ben looked away again and lifted the cover of a large cake pan on the kitchen counter. Ahh… there was more than half of one of Martha's great cakes left. He cut off a large piece, sat down at the kitchen table, and hadn't taken more than one bite when his eyes went back to that container again. What would it hurt if he looked inside? Why was Martha so secretive about that container, anyway?
Even though for the first thirty years of their marriage, Ben couldn't quite identify his wife's "secret herb," he knew it was there—and that it made a wonderful difference in his wife's cooking. If you're the wife in the marriage partnership, I suspect that you have added your own secret ingredient to many aspects of your marriage.

Once Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute and went in to her. The Gazites were told, "Samson has come here." So they circled around and lay in wait for him all night at the city gate. They kept quiet all night, thinking, "Let us wait until the light of the morning; then we will kill him." But Samson lay only until midnight. Then at midnight he rose up, took hold of the doors of the city gate and the two posts, pulled them up, bar and all, put them on his shoulders, and carried them to the top of the hill that is in front of Hebron. After this he fell in love with a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. The lords of the Philistines came to her and said to her, "Coax him, and find out what makes his strength so great, and how we may overpower him, so that we may bind him in order to subdue him; and we will each give you eleven hundred pieces of silver." So Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me what makes your strength so great, and how you could be bound, so that one could subdue you." Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh bowstrings that are not dried out, then I shall become weak, and be like anyone else." Then the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not dried out, and she bound him with them. While men were lying in wait in an inner chamber, she said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he snapped the bowstrings, as a strand of fiber snaps when it touches the fire. So the secret of his strength was not known. Then Delilah said to Samson, "You have mocked me and told me lies; please tell me how you could be bound." He said to her, "If they bind me with new ropes that have not been used, then I shall become weak, and be like anyone else." So Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them, and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" (The men lying in wait were in an inner chamber.) But he snapped the ropes off his arms like a thread. Then Delilah said to Samson, "Until now you have mocked me and told me lies; tell me how you could be bound." He said to her, "If you weave the seven locks of my head with the web and make it tight with the pin, then I shall become weak, and be like anyone else." So while he slept, Delilah took the seven locks of his head and wove them into the web, and made them tight with the pin. Then she said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he awoke from his sleep, and pulled away the pin, the loom, and the web.
Psalm 108:2 (NRSV) Wake up, my spirit; awake, lute and harp; I myself will waken the dawn.
This seems to be "stir up Saturday"—and in August! It reminds me of a collect in Advent, but why wait for December to stir things up? Today's gospel tells the story of an invalid, crippled for thirty-eight years, lying by the pool at Bethsaida, who always seems to be missing his opportunity to enter the stirred up waters of the miraculous pool where many have been healed. Finally he is healed by Jesus, who definitely stirs things up by performing the act on the sabbath.
In our lesson from Acts, Stephen is in the middle of his homily, a sermon that starts out well but stirs up the crowd to the point that they stone him for the gospel he is preaching. And in Judges, we hear about Samson whose mighty exploits stirred things up across the land.
Sometimes stirring things up can be a good thing even though it can lead to big trouble. Many of us steeped in the traditions of our faith really don't want such stirrings; we don't want to be disturbed or troubled. But if we don't stir things up on occasion, our very souls can fall asleep.

Bee Creek Blues and Meridian
Author: Greta Gorsuch, Publisher: Wayzgoose Press
2000 Word Level, CEFR B1, MReader rl[6]. 6442 Words
This is a sample copy, downloadable from Amazon.com.
The Bee Creek Blues: It is 1934, in the middle of the Great Depression in America. There is no work, and times are hard. Adrian Cooper, a young African American college student from Ohio, has had to leave school because there is no money. He joins CCC Company 1827 to help build roads, dams, and parks. And he belongs to a rare "integrated" CCC company where African Americans work side by side with white Americans. CCC Company 1827 is sent to Meridian, Texas where it is hot, and the sun shines hard all day. The government wants them to build a dam, by hand, to bring water, and hope, to the ranchers and townspeople of Meridian. Not all goes smoothly. Some whites in Meridian don't like the idea of African Americans working on the dam. Will CCC Company 1827 build the dam? Will Adrian ever go back to school? Will good times ever return? Follow Adrian as he works alongside his friends and rebuilds his future.
Meridian: It is present day Meridian, Texas, and the Meridian Tribune, the tiny local newspaper, needs a new reporter. Young Mr. Bill Wells, fresh from the University of Texas, takes the job. Moving from the big city to a small town (Meridian: Population 4,445) brings some surprises, but Bill Wells reports on who he meets, and places he visits, and brings to life this small and diverse town. He battles alongside the townspeople to keep the local school open and encourages young people in town to learn photography. Written as a series of newspaper advertisements and stories, we follow young Mr. Wells as he begins to call Meridian his home.

Q: XSL: for-each select a string with umlauts I have the following XML:
<FeatureGroup FeatureGroup="Bundesländer">
    <Feature>
        <FeatureValue>
            <Value LanguageCode="fr">Brandenburg</Value>
            <Value LanguageCode="de">Brandenburg</Value>
            <Value LanguageCode="en">Brandenburg</Value>
        </FeatureValue>
    </Feature>
</FeatureGroup>

And i want it to be transformed by xsl but i'm not able to select the FeatureGroup-Value "Bundesländer". Here is the xsl:
<field name="federalState">
    <xsl:for-each select="FeatureGroups/FeatureGroup[FeatureGroup = 'Bundesländer']">
        <xsl:for-each select="Feature/FeatureValue/Value[@LanguageCode= 'de']">
            <xsl:value-of select="." />
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:for-each>
</field>

How can i select an attributes value with an umlaut in it?

A: Well XML and XPath have full support for Unicode so selecting any Unicode character is not a problem, you simply need to make sure your path selects the attribute node with @ i.e. replace <xsl:for-each select="FeatureGroups/FeatureGroup[FeatureGroup = 'Bundesländer']"> by <xsl:for-each select="FeatureGroups/FeatureGroup[@FeatureGroup = 'Bundesländer']">.

A: If you have problems to save your file in a proper encoding (as suggested in the comment by Sjoerd), you can always use
"Umlaut entities" (same as in HTML):

ä  = ä
Bundesländer = Bundesländer

Here you find a complete list.

A: It turns out this wasn't your problem, but one theoretical possibility is that there are two Unicode representations of an accented letter: one as a single Unicode codepoint (composed form) and one as two Unicode codepoints (decomposed form). In XPath 1.0 they won't compare equal. In XPath 2.0, they may or may not compare equal, depending on the default collation, which is processor-dependent.
I describe this problem as theoretical because I've never actually seen it arise in practice. I think that's because most tools generate the composed form of characters unless you go out of your way to get the decomposed form.

Help the Owlings take flight!
Because this is a self published book, I can use all of the help I can get in spreading the word.
You can read a blog post here where I share some of the background behind this project, like the fact that atheistic authors like Richard Dawkins have set their sights on a younger audience. Like Dawkins, I think teaching worldview principles to younger readers is important. But I hold a fundamentally different view of the world than his. I've written this book so readers of all ages can consider the most fundamental worldview concept of all, the fact that nature is not all that exists. There's more. And that is the most wonderful truth in all of the world.
Thank you to everyone who helped support this project! The book released the week of Thanksgiving 2014 and quickly climbed to the #1 spot on Amazon's top new releases in its genre. The Owlings spent the next thirty days in the top ten of new releases in genre, mostly in the top three listings.
1.) Buy the book – it's available on Amazon here.
2.) Download the free discussion guide that I wrote for parents here.
3.) If you enjoy The Owlings, write a kind review on Amazon.

Hello and welcome to 2015, Punching Cardboard style! Well, an approximation of our style as we are admittedly a little off our game after this holiday break. I mean, we're hustling all over the place, trying to make the plays, but it's like the balls taking funny hops or something.


The Paris Motor Show, also known as the Mondial de l'Automobile is probably the world's biggest motor show. The doors are open to the public from 1-16 October 2016, but the press day is 29 September, just two weeks away.
This year is especially important to electric cars. The Tesla Model 3 has already over 400.000 paid reservations and GM is about to launch its "affordable" electric car with over 200 miles (323 km) range. The Chevrolet Bolt EV, is launched ten years after the release of the documentary film "Who Killed the Electric Car?".
As always I purposely ignore cars that are more than one year away, so I won't write about Volkswagen endless press releases that promise great electric cars for a distant and uncertain future.
Regarding electric cars, PHEVs will dominate the show, but I'll focus on BEVs.
Opel Ampera-e will be the BEV star of the show, hands down.
Nissan Leaf arrived in late 2010 to set the standard, almost every BEV that came later had a similar range and cost. Now GM is doing the same, every new BEV will be compared to the Chevrolet Bolt EV and the Opel Ampera-e.
As a low cost electric car Renault should introduce the Twingo ZE, since the similar Smart ForFour ED will also be in Paris.
The new generation Nissan Micra will be unveiled. Why is this important? The new Micra will be ready to have electric and hybrid versions. We might see a Nissan Micra EV in 2017, it will share the cool factor with the Zoe, but that is lacking in the current Leaf.
BMW is happy selling the improved range BMW i3 and the electric scooter BMW C Evolution as its only BEV offers. The company is currently betting in PHEVs and we should see a lot of them displayed. As for new BEV models, they should arrive only in 2018. The i5 electric SUV is being prepared to be a Tesla Model X alternative. Also in 2018, we might see a MINI with BEV and PHEV variants.
In Paris Volkswagen will continue to show electric cars for a distant future, to undermine electric cars by stating that the technology isn't ready yet, so the automaker can continue to sell polluting cars.
For the near future Volkswagen has battery upgrades planned for its entire fleet. In 2017 every Volkswagen plug-in car will have 37 Ah cells that replace 25-28 Ah cells that are currently used to make the battery packs.
For example the Volkswagen e-Golf will get a 35,8 kWh battery and a more powerful electric motor in January 2017. The EPA range should be around 124 miles (200 km), while the optimistic NEDC range will surpass 300 km.
The sister companies are primarily betting in hybrids. Hyundai will show its already known IONIQ car, while Kia will unveil the new 2017 Kia Soul EV with improved range. There is still no word about the range, but I think it will have a 36 kWh battery made with 192 SK Innovation 50 Ah cells (96s2p). This will be enough for 110 miles (177 km) EPA range, the NEDC range should be 250 km. If the Kia Soul EV gets a plus 40 kWh battery I'll be pleasantly surprised.
We'll finally get more details about Smart's new electric cars. The Smart ForTwo ED and the Smart ForFour ED. Price, range and technical details should be available.
Mercedes-Benz B250e new battery will no longer be made by Tesla Motors with Panasonic cells. This electric car will get new generation cells made by SK Innovation, it would be great to know the future range.
This Japanese automaker is still in la la land with its hybrid and fuel cell cars. The best this automaker has to show is the Toyota Prius Plug-in, also known as the Toyota Prius Prime.
The 2017 Honda Clarity will be in Paris. This big car will have three variants: fuel cell, electric and plug-in hybrid. If Honda's prices are fair, the electric version will be the cheapest and most popular.
Honda is releasing the fuel cell variant first, only later the electric and plug-in hybrid variants will come. This decision to first release the only variant that hasn't the refueling infrastructure ready is ridiculous. What Honda should be doing is releasing an affordable Honda Fit EV with a 45-50 kWh battery.
Once Fiat was popular in Europe, now it's a dying automaker. I would really like to see the Fiat 500e be sold in Europe with a 35-40 kWh battery. What better way to bring an obsolete company back to life than emerging with new technology?!
Other big automakers such as PSA, Mitsubishi and Volvo were ignored because they don't expect to introduce any BEV in the near future.
To consider the Paris Auto Show a successful display of cars, it must have cars that most Europeans like and buy. By this I mean superminis, not big SUVs or luxury cars. Finally, those superminis have to be battery electric vehicles (BEVs). I'll be happy if these two requirements are fulfilled.
What do you want to be unveiled at Paris Motor Show 2016?
Wow, a lot more expected for the next year than I was aware of! Some of it sounds almost too good to be true, like VW actually upgrading their PHEVs. Maybe it has something to do with NEDC being phased out between september 2017 and september 2018? Hopefully the WLTP doesn't make it so easy for PHEVs to get these low emissions numbers with hardly any real battery range.
The Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid is the first Volkswagen's PHEV confirmed to get the 37 Ah cells, others will follow.
That's a good point about the WLTP, I guess it has some influence.
If the Leaf really gets the 45 kwh LG chem battery with TMS at the same actual price (SV/SL), it's a very good option for anyone who can't afford the Bolt.
Good point, but I think Nissan offers great deals on the car at the dealer.
Nissan will need to reduce the price for sure.
I'm with the superminis. To me, all superminis should be electric with at least 135 miles epa and without ice motors.
Are you sure about this? What is the source of this information? I will be very happy if this is true since I have pre-ordered a Soul EV 2017 and will be getting it in December.
The range increase is known since January.
That is a vague claim to say the least. The 2017 model has been launched in Korea and there are no news about a range increase. Is it possible that they will launch a longer range model for other markets?
The 2017 Kia Soul unveiled in South Korea was the gas version. We'll have to wait a few days to see the electric.
Should get new battery options like later in first half 2017 Leaf 2, but not the 60 kWh option.
Citroen	E-Elysee (China) on e-CMP platform of PSA/Dongfeng – why restrict it to China?
VW will show their concept vehicle on the MEB platform.
Mercedes will show their concept GLC F-Cell and may show some concept BEVs (GLC, GLA, GLB E-Cell).
FMPOV the impact of these concepts in the market can be substantial, even though they are concept cars only.
Next PostAt which price point electric cars will become mainstream?

Intel President James Leaving at End of the Year
Jeff Burt
Renee James, a 28-year Intel veteran and the chip maker's president since May 2013, is leaving the company to pursue CEO possibilities at other companies.
Intel announced James' upcoming departure July 2 as part of a larger shakeup that will see other executives either being promoted, retiring or leaving the company. James will remain with Intel until January to help with the transition.
James became Intel's president at the same time Brian Krzanich took over as CEO when Paul Otellini retired. Krzanich and James worked together to develop the strategy Intel has put in place over the past two years, including expanding the company's reach in the data center and pursuing other markets like mobile devices, wearables and the Internet of things (IoT).
In a letter to employees, James lauded the company for its technology and innovation. She also said that being able to lead her own company is an important step for her.
"When Brian and I were appointed to our current roles, I knew then that being the leader of a company was something that I desired as part of my own leadership journey," she wrote. "Now is the right time for me to take that next step."
If James wanted to be a CEO, she was going to have to go somewhere else, Roger Kay, principal analyst with Endpoint Technologies Associates, told eWEEK.
"It was a career move," Kay said, noting that it didn't seem as though she was getting pushed out. James wasn't going to "get the nod as CEO with Brian there, and if she wanted to become a CEO, she was going to have to go somewhere else."
He also said she may have been frustrated in her role as president.
"It's the last step of something that's been underway for a while, in that Brian Krzanich has pretty much taken over," Kay said. "Even though they were pretty much two-in-a-box [in their management titles], her role seemed to have diminished while his seemed to have expanded."
In a statement, Krzanich thanked James for her work at Intel and said he and the board of directors "fully support her in this decision."
The announcement of James' resignation and the other leadership changes come at a difficult time for Intel. The company generated record revenue in 2014—driven in part by a slight rebound in the global PC space—but the first half of this year saw declines in global PC shipments accelerate, impacting Intel's bottom line. Intel officials earlier this year reduced their revenue forecast for the year, and last month Krzanich confirmed reports that the company was cutting hundreds of jobs.
The company is going strong in the data center and is growing its IoT business, but the mobile unit continues to lose money.
In addition, Intel—which is spending $300 million to increase diversity in its own workforce and another $125 million to help startups run by women and minorities—is losing its highest-ranking female executive. However, Aicha Evans, general manager of Intel's Communication and Devices Group, has been named to the chip maker's Management Committee. Intel also has other women in high management positions, such as Diane Bryant, senior vice president and general manager of the company's Data Center Group.
In other executive moves, Arvind Sodhani will retire in January as president of Intel Capital, the company's investment arm. The company is merging Intel Capital with mergers and acquisitions, with both being overseen by Wendell Brooks, president of mergers and acquisitions. In addition, Intel is integrating Intel Security—formerly the McAfee unit—into Intel operations, which will be led by General Manager Chris Young.
Josh Walden, general manager of the New Technology Group, will also oversee product and research teams working on new technologies, such as wearable devices, interactive computing systems and perceptual computing, according to company officials.
Intel executives Hermann Eul and Mike Bell, who led mobile and new technology businesses, will leave the company after a transition period.
Kay said the merging of businesses and thinning of the executive lineup could be another indication of Intel getting its expenses more in line with its adjusted revenue expectations.
Jeffrey Burt has been with eWEEK since 2000, covering an array of areas that includes servers, networking, PCs, processors, converged infrastructure, unified communications and the Internet of things.

The Steady Rise of Spurs Rookie Keldon Johnson in Orlando

UK Volleyball Outside Hitter Alli Stumler and Setter Madison Lilley Discuss Return to Campus

The San Antonio Spurs arrived in the Orlando NBA bubble with a record of 27-36 and five games behind eighth seeded Memphis, becoming sort of an afterthought in the race to get into the playoffs. Now after two regular season games in the NBA restart, they find themselves just 3.5 games behind the final playoff spot in the Western Conference after defeating the Grizzlies and the Kings.
In fact, as of now the Spurs would be competing in a double elimination play-in series with Memphis in which they would have to beat the Grizzlies twice in a row to get into the playoffs as the eight seed since they sit within four games as the next team looking in, a spot in which not very many analysts saw San Antonio being in at this point.
A big part of the team's success has of course been all-star forward DeMar Derozan who knocked down two free throws with one second left to beat Memphis 108-106 on Sunday, along with other experienced players including guards Dejounte Murray and Derrick White. An underrated key to the Spurs' success, however, has been former 'Cat and rookie Keldon Johnson.
Johnson spent a lot of this season pre-Coronavirus in the G-League working on his game as he transitioned to the NBA level before finding some playing time with the San Antonio Spurs in early March. He averaged 7.0 points per game and 2.8 rebounds per game in 10 appearances on the court before the season was suspended. The 2019 NBA Draft first-round pick was steadily gaining more minutes on basketball's biggest professional stage.
Now in Orlando, we have seen Johnson flourish even more. He averaged 13.3 points per game on 61.9% shooting from the field and grabbed 5.3 rebounds per game in three scrimmages for the Spurs, proving his worth to the team. Those numbers and his work ethic led to San Antonio Head Coach Greg Popovich praising his motor.
"They still have mustangs out West?" Popovich joked with reporters back on July 28. "He's (Johnson) one of those kind of guys. He's kind of wild and very energetic, very aggressive, takes no prisoners, sticks his nose in, likes contact. All-in-all, he's a very competitive individual."
The combination of his increased productivity and reliable motor earned the former 'Cat some playing time in the Spurs two regular season games so far in the restart, and he took advantage. Against Sacramento, Johnson scored eight points and grabbed six boards in 30 minutes of playing time as San Antonio won the game 129-120. He put up similar numbers in the team's 108-106 win against Memphis on Sunday, totaling nine points and six boards in 25 minutes. All of that while still exerting a lot of energy to boost the team in those wins.
Here is a clip of Johnson stealing a pass, throwing the ball to one of his teammates as he saved it from going out-of-bounds, then grabbing the offensive board and getting a bucket on the other end against Memphis:
https://twitter.com/spurs/status/1290044357186379776?s=20
That is what you call hard work.
Johnson and the Spurs will look to continue their playoff push on Monday at 8 p.m. against the Philadelphia 76ers.

I was definitely hesitant about doing Style Logs at first simply because a lot of websites do it much better than me and they have a crew finding the apparels as well but I'm a one man team and I don't have a lot of time on my hands to be browsing through lots of websites so I think I'll only be doing this once in a while. I might take some easy requests as well! Also, I'm really hoping to concentrate my Style Logs around MBLAQ and 2PM because they don't have any active sites that do Style Logs and IDs but these groups hardly wear logo brands which are a little easier to identify. I shall try my best though!

What are pay theories?
What is Behavioural theory of compensation?
The symbolism theories of executive compensation held that the executive's power and political influence are the primary determinants of his pay level. Power and politics are of more direct importance to those who make executive pay decisions than the economic elements of firm performance and executive productivity.
According to the Center on Executive Compensation, "Executive pay arrangements typically consist of six distinct compensation components: salary, annual incentives, long-term incentives, benefits, perquisites and severance/change-in-control agreements."1 See High-Performing Companies Pay Executives Differently.
To this end, executive compensation packages typically utilize six distinct compensation components:
Base Salary.
Short-Term Incentive.
Long-Term Incentive.
Employee Benefits.
Perquisites.
Severance/Change-in-Control Payments.
Golden parachutes are a form of compensation paid to key executives in the event that a public company is sold and the key executives lose their jobs or have their responsibilities sharply curtailed.
The executive's total compensation package consists of four main components basic salary, short-term incentives, long-term incentives and perquisites.
THIS IS IMPORTANT: What are you up to short form?
Components of employee compensation
Salary and wages. In a compensation package, these typically make up the single largest component. …
Bonuses. …
Federal/state pay requirements. …
Long-term incentives. …
Health insurance. …
Life and/or disability insurance. …
Retirement plan. …
Time off.
The executive offer letter, in contrast with a lower level employee offer letter, is more detailed and contains a variety of options usually not available to other employees. In contrast with lower level employees, the executive compensation package will include a severance package spelled out.
These six keys below will help your company to properly implement effective executive compensation strategies.
Use Metrics as the Basis for Incentive Compensation. …
Effectively Communicate to Ensure Understanding. …
Benchmark Compensation Levels. …
Value Company Equity Regularly. …
Include Both Short and Long-Term Incentives.
An executive typically is someone in the top two levels of an organization, such as Chief Executive Officer (CEO), President, or Senior Vice-President. As Figure shows, the common components of executive compensation are salaries, annual bonuses, long-term incentives, supplemental benefits, and perquisites.
The wage-fund theory held that wages depended on the relative amounts of capital available for the payment of workers and the size of the labour force. … Karl Marx, an advocate of the labour theory of value, believed that wages were held at the subsistence level by the existence of a large number of unemployed.

Theft of speakers at Light Up Middletown 'very frustrating,' costly, official says
By Rick McCrabb
Organizers hope to have the speakers replaced this week, says Bill Becker, a member of Grandpa Gang.
Light Up Middletown volunteers are scrambling to replace three speakers that were stolen over Thanksgiving weekend, an organizer said.
Two of the four speakers that provide Christmas music at the holiday lights display were stolen between 11:30 p.m. Nov. 24, when volunteers left Smith Park, and the morning of Nov. 25, said Bill Becker, a member of the Grandpa Gang that maintains the displays.
Then, he said, another speaker was stolen Sunday night.
"This is very frustrating that somebody would do this," Becker, a retired Middletown police chief, told the Journal-News.
He estimated the value of the three speakers that were attached to 10-foot poles at $1,800. He said people have donated money to purchase new speakers and he hopes to have them installed this week. The speakers were located near Santa's workshop and the soccer building, Becker said.
He said organizers are considering adding some type of security to the park.
Light Up Middletown has been a target of vandalism in the past, Becker said. Also, he said, high winds have knocked down some of the light displays.
But he called the most recent theft the "worst" Light Up Middletown has experienced in its 23 years.
"Pure greed" is how he described the theft.
The drive-through holiday lights display is open from 6-10 p.m. every night through New Year's Eve. Donations are accepted at the front gate and proceeds are used to purchase light displays and upgrade the city park.

Hi everyone! I'm so ecstatic right now because I just received my Loose Button Luxe Box!! I was about to write about my Julep Maven Valentine Mystery box, but this really couldn't wait! So for this special lovely occasion, Loose Button collaborated with Flare Magazine to create this special edition red Luxe Box.
Like alway, the box came with a few flying inserts and cards. What I obviously noticed was that they redesigned their product information card. It's tri-folded with enlarged fonts and actual pictures of the product rather than the silhouette. It also featured the latest Flare Magazine Cover of Emily Van Camp from Revenge. I prefer the regular Loose Button cards more, so I hope they go back to it next month.
This week I received my February Classic with a Twist Box and my Valentine Mystery box. If you are interested in purchasing your own Julep Maven box, as of right now, the penny promotion is still active! Click HERE and complete the style quiz. Once you add the product to the shopping cart, type in the code: COLOR2012. But if that doesn't work you can try these codes: SHAREONFEB (to get the deal for $1) or MAVEN5 (to get the deal for $5). Just want to give you a couple of codes to try out in case one of two of them don't work. If they all don't work, let me know and I'll find another one! Again, these promo codes are only good for your first box! If you're still unconvinced and want to learn a little bit more about the program, please check out my Julep Maven blog posts by clicking HERE.
This is just going to be a simple unboxing post for my February Box, just to show you what's inside. Basically my opinion is the same as my last box. I tried both my nail polishes from my last box and they both have great application. I prefer the creme based over the shimmery polish, just because I find the shimmery polish is a little too translucent for my liking, even after two coats. On the other hand, I can get away with one coat with the creme based polish. My preference towards the creme-based polish was the reason why I chose to go with Classic with a Twist this month but I was also attracted to the cobalt blue that was in the Boho Glam Box.
Happy Valentine's day! Here's a heart-themed nail art for your enjoyment.
It is inspired by pop-art and candy hearts!
If google brought you here, I just want you to know that I revamped the design. Check out my newest Tiffany and co. Inspired nail art: CLICK HERE!
My best friend Alex came over yesterday with the expectation that by the end of the night our finger nails will be covered with immaculate designs. With the combination of catching up since we haven't seen in each other in a couple of weeks and just being extremely picky, we weren't able to accomplish anything! The entire night we were putting on different color nail polishes and taking it off, I think we did that at least 20 times. So tonight was our second attempt at having another nail art night and after an hour or two of just trying out colors and designs, we finally settled! Alex decided on a purple, pink and black leopard print and I gained inspiration from Tiffany's color combination. Three hours of nail art experimentation finally paid off! I know I don't have the exact "Tiffany's Blue", but I think it's close enough!

Sisters to the King by Maria Perry Book Review
April 28, 2018 Moniek Book Reviews, Margaret Tudor, Mary Tudor, The Royal Women 0
Although in the Tudor age Henry VIII's sisters Margaret and Mary were considered more important personalities than his six wives, they had less of the contemporary limelight . . . until Maria Perry examined their amazing lives and influence on European history. Margaret became Queen of Scotland at the age of 13, while Mary, Henry's famously beautiful younger sister, was married off to the aging King of France. Against convention both chose their second husbands for love. Maria Perry brilliantly illuminates the characters of these two remarkable women, and also uncovers evidence on other aspects of the Tudor age: fresh information about Henry's upbringing and his wedding night; and a revealing new study of Henry's "worldly jewel," his illegitimate son, the Duke of Richmond, previously a shadowy figure.
The Tudor age will never cease to amaze us, though the focus always seems to be Henry VIII and his six wives. His sisters Mary and Margaret are very interesting people in their own right. Mary became Queen of France for a mere three months as the teenage bride of King Louis XII of France and then Duchess of Suffolk as the wife of Charles Brandon. Margaret married the Kings of Scots and led an entirely different life. Yet, this entire book seems to be about Henry VIII and his sisters seems to be the backstory. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the style of writing, and the information was well-researched and correct.
Sisters to the King by Maria Perry is available now in both the UK and the US.

Meet the 8 asteroids NASA's Lucy spacecraft will visit
(Image credit: NASA Goddard/YouTube)
The solar system is populated with asteroids as different as our planets. The main asteroid belt, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, is home to many different types of space rocks. But a new mission called Lucy will soon launch to study a group of asteroids that has yet to be studied up close: the Trojans.
The Trojans aren't quite like the rocks found in the asteroid belt. They are all remnants from the formation of the solar system. But whereas the asteroid belt rocks have a big range of reflectiveness, or albedo, the Trojans tend to be mostly non-reflective rocks. Trojans also differ in that they orbit farther away from the sun, near Jupiter's orbit.
NASA's Lucy mission is scheduled to launch on Oct. 16, 2021, to study these unique space rocks. The mission will be powered by solar panels and is equipped with four instruments that can observe the temperature, albedo and surface features of the asteroids it will visit. Lucy is scheduled to visit eight asteroids: one main belt rock and seven Trojans. Learn more about each of these targets in this countdown!

Avantasia – Moonglow (2019) plus tour news.
Have you listened to the epic new Avantasia album yet? Moonglow has to be one of the most ambitious heavy metal projects of all time.
Thematically, the album is inspired by Tobias Sammet's fascination with the moon, and the story he has concocted follows a nocturnal creature struggling to cope with the reality of boldness and beauty who ends up turning to the darkness of Moonglow to hide itself from the world.
Lyrically, Moonglow deals with themes such as adjustment, expectations, convictions and feeling out of place. It is epic in every way possible. Running at 1 hour and 11 minutes, the listener is left feeling like you've been taken on a journey.
Guest vocalists helping to bring this immense project to fruition are Ronnie Atkins of Pretty Maids, Jorn Lande of Jorn, Eric Martin of Mr Big, Geoff Tate formally of Queensryche, Michael Kiske of Helloween, Bob Catley of Magnum, Candice Night of Blackmores Night, Hansi Kursch of Blind Guardian and Mille Petrozza of Kreator. Yes, take a moment to let that list sink in…
Moonglow is a 10/10 album and simply has to be heard to be believed. It's an experience in and of itself, but the real experience will be in the live setting, and it's coming to Australia in May, with a huge cast including some of the biggest names on the album, and full production for two very special shows presented by Overdrive Touring.

Tennis players 'attacked' by thousands of flying ants at Wimbledon
2:07am Jul 6, 2017
It wasn't the heat that was bothering players at Wimbledon today, instead it was an invasion of flying ants that caused headaches on court.
The ants have just started their breeding season which sees huge swarms take to the sky, the Sun reports.
At Wimbledon, it meant thousands were causing "chaos" for players as they flew into faces, bounced off rackets and frustrated fans.
Temperatures reached 30 degrees in London, which also caused the pesky insects to spread their wings further.
Several other players were also seen swatting away the ants, but French 12th seed Tsonga had an especially intimate encounter when one flew up his nose and another into his ear.
"That was strange. I had a few experiences in the United States sometimes. With the light at night sometimes you have big bugs. Or in Australia also you have these kind of things," he said.
"But this was a little bit different, because these ones was very small but a lot. So it was special sometimes, it was in my nose and in my ear."
Tsonga's third round opponent is Sam Querrey, who admitted he was close to asking for play to be halted by the ant infestation in his 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 win against Nikoloz Basilashvili.
Querrey, the American 24th seed, spoke to the umpire when he felt the insects were distracting his game, but was told to play on.
"Never seen that before. It was going on for 30 or 45 minutes," he said.

"If it got much worse, I almost wanted to stop because they were hitting you in the face when you were trying to hit balls.
"I brought it up to the umpire. He kind of laughed. The flowers, the bugs, they're happy. Something like that.
"He kind of shrugged it off. Like, 'these are just bugs, we're going to play through it'."
Querrey, who shocked Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon last year, admitted he was extra frustrated because he lost the set when the ants were at their worst.
"I lost a set when the ants came. If I had won that set, probably wouldn't have bugged me as much." he said.
"If it had gotten worse, maybe they would have done something. If it was bees or something, I'm sure they would have stopped."
Asked if he thought about carrying an insect repelling spray in his racquet bag, Querrey gave a dead-pan response.
"No. First time it's ever happened," he said.
Japan's Kei Nishikori also had a close encounter with the bugs on Court One during his 6-4, 6-7 (7/9), 6-1, 7-6 (8/6) win over Ukrainian qualifier Sergiy Stakhovsky.
"There were so many, they were hitting my face all the time. It wasn't easy but I kept my focus," said the world number nine.
Dozens of people took to social media to remark on the phenomena, with the hashtag #flyingantday trending on Twitter.

Q: Equation of plane passing through intersection of line and plane Find the equation of the plane passing through the intersection of line $$\frac{x-2}{3}=\frac{y+1}{4}=\frac{z-2}{2}$$ and the plane
$$x-y+z=5$$
and parallel to a vector with direction ratios $<2,3,-2>$
Now point of intersection of given plane and given line is $(2,-1,2)$ and direction normal of required plane will be perpendicular to  $<2,3,-2>$ but how would I get a unique equation of required plane?

A: So you want a plane through $\;(2,-1,2)\;$ and parallel to $\;(2,3,-2)\;$ , so for any $\;(a,b,c)\in\Bbb R^3\;$ the following fulfills the conditions:
$$(2,-1,2)+t(2,3,-2)+s(a,b,c)\;,\;\;t,s\in\Bbb R\;$$

Boeing's fired CEO keeps $80 million in pay and benefits despite crashes, cover ups, and scandal
Dennis Muilenburg, Boeing's former CEO, left the company with $80.7 million in pay and benefits, after being fired over two aircraft crashes that killed 346 people in total. His compensation dwarfs the $50 million set aside for families of the crash victims. (qz.com) More...

i have more contempt for the Boeing Board of Directors who have aided and abeted this ridiculous payout, in the face of a final bill; for 737max in the billions. Sure the company can issue some more stock and cover those and other costs from this affair, but Dennis should have walked the plank months ago penniless from the company.
nemosteve1080i 11 days ago 2
Muilenberg is a corporate wh*re for taking this payout. There is blood on his hands from the 737MAX
. If he had any guts, he'd refuse the payments and suck it up as a corporate leader failure.
JMARTINSON 11 days ago 3
Whore. You can say it... but here's what you can't say: "I would refuse $80 million bucks". Because you wouldn't, and neither would I.
When it takes a 3/4 ton pickup to haul your cashed check home (in all $100 bills), everybody is a gutless corporate whore.
James Driskell 9 days ago 2
It's not a case of refusing it, it's a case of lack of spine on the part of the board. This is worse that having to pay a doctor for treatment that kills the patient or pay a lawyer for loosing a case.
Boeing need to get out of Chicago and return the the northwest where engineers can run the company rather that bean counters and other drones.

Clemson is ranked #3 in the Preseason Baseball Sports Weekly/ESPN Coaches' poll, released Monday. The Tigers have now been ranked in all 13 preseason coaches' poll dating back to the first one in 1993. There was no preseason coaches' poll in 1994. The ranking is also Clemson's highest preseason ranking by the coaches in history. The Tigers were ranked #5 in the 1995, 2001, and 2002 preseason coaches polls.
Defending National Champion Texas holds the top spot in the Sports Weekly poll, followed by Florida, Clemson, Rice, and Cal. State-Fullerton in the top five. Clemson is one of four ACC schools in the top nine, and one of five ACC schools in the top 16, including Georgia Tech (#7), North Carolina (#8), Florida State (#9), and Miami (FL) (#16).
Clemson finished the 2005 season ranked #16 in the final Sports Weekly poll. The Tigers were also ranked #2 in Baseball America's and #6 in Collegiate Baseball's 2006 preseason poll. Clemson opens its 2006 schedule on February 17 against James Madison at Doug Kingsmore Stadium.


The first impression on the Ijoy Captain RTA is that it looks eerily similar to the slider tank that they sent me. Packaging is like most Ijoy tanks. It's in a clear jewel type of box with everything on one tier. So far, I would have to say that it looks pretty good and if it vapes as well as the Captain S Sub ohm tank, this should be one hell of an RTA.
Just like the Captain S Sub ohm tank, the RTA has a slider style top. Ijoy has included a really nice Ultem chuff cap style drip tip. The drip tip is extremely comfortable and it has two rings on the bottom of it. I like the way it looks aesthetically on the tank and I love the way it performs. I'm actually kind of sad that they only included one. While it is not a proper Goon drip tip, it is 810 compatible. All of your Smok Beast line drip tips will fit as well. There is also a 510 drip tip adapter so you can run all of your 510 drip tips, too.
Slide the top cap open and just like previous versions of this tank, you will see a kidney bean shaped fill port. Just like the S, it is a little small and I would rather it have been just a bit bigger. There is a rubber gasket around the fill port. Ijoy has also included an extra gasket for when this one wears thin. It will accommodate most juice bottles but with the chubby gorilla bottles, you may have to remove the drip tip to fill.
Right below the top cap, we have the glass section and it is held in place by two nice o'rings. On the interior of the tank, the chimney is definitely on the wide side. The chimney does feed into a barrel that has an extremely conical design to it. The barrel does have four wicking ports that line up with for wicking ports on the deck itself. This tank does have juice flow control. The JFC is smooth but it definitely works better with the tank on a mod.
The base on the Captain RTA is done a little differently than most RTA's. It acts more like a ring than a base. What I mean by that is the deck actually separates from the base. So the base actually forms a ring around the 510 pin of the deck and that's how you secure the deck to the tank. In other words, the base when taken off just has a hole in it with no 510. On the bottom of the base, you will find some Captain branding with the words designed by Ijoy. The knurling on the base is pretty good and it does provide a nice grip for when you need to access your deck.
As with all the tanks in the Captain line, between the base and the glass, there is a significant cut out going around the whole tank. This is supposed to help with heat transfer. I do have to say that it does do a wonderful job in that area. I can chain vape this tank all day and it may get a little warm but it gets nowhere near as hot as some of my other tanks do with the same amount of vaping. It's a nice simple design that is beautifully executed on this tank. Well done, Ijoy.
The deck on this RTA is gold plated and it does have two types of air flow. You have airflow that comes directly underneath the coil and then there are some side airflow slots that grab air from the side of the coil. We have seen this before on other decks and it does seem to be a really good way to get the most flavor out of an atomizer. As I said before, the deck is removable. I am truly hoping that the reason Ijoy made it removable is that they are developing different configurations that can be used in this RTA. I would love to see a velocity style deck and a dedicated single coil deck. That would be just fantastic.
The deck has a small oring going around the base right underneath the juice ports. That's what holds the deck in place on the barrel. Below the oring and underneath the platform of the deck, you will find two airflow holes. One of the places that this deck gets its air flow from is directly under the coils. There is also a hole right underneath the two side pieces that grab the airflow from the side. You would think this tank would have a ton of airflow but in reality, it does not. Below the airflow holes, there is another o'ring that secures the 510 pin to the interior of the base. Below that, you have the actual 510 pin. The threading on the pin is nice and smooth and so far this atomizer has sat flush on all the mods that I have used it on. The pin itself is gold plated as is the whole deck. The pin does have a flat head adjustment to it and an insulator ring around it. All in all, this is a very well thought out deck.
Because of the way this deck comes out of the base, it could be a little intimidating for the new user. There really is no need to be intimidated because this deck is easy to build and wick. It is your typical postless deck and as is the case with most postless decks, the hardest part about building it is getting your leads to the correct length. I always suggest to my readers that they just take their time and clip a little bit at a time.
Once you get the correct lead length, you simply mount your coils and tighten them up. Make sure that your coils are sitting just above the side airflow on this deck. You want the side airflow to grab the vapor from the bottom half of your coil. Do that and you will be rewarded with great flavor. Next, you wick up your coils and make sure you place them into the juice ports. I can't stress this enough, you cannot stuff the cotton into the juice ports. You have to make sure that you place them in there gently and that they have enough room to wick freely. If you stuff them in, you will wind up with dry hits and your cotton will just not keep up. This is not the case with just this RTA but with any RTA that wicks this way. Once that is done, you are ready to do juice up your cotton and put your deck back in the tank.
Putting the deck back in the tank is pretty simple. It's very much like the drop-in style of coil that the Captain S uses. You can line up your juice holes with your holes on the barrel, push the deck in, and simply put your base on. Once your base is on securely, you can screw it into your deck to insure that the deck is not going anywhere. Now you are ready to vape. It really is that simple and easy.
So far, every tank I've gotten from the Ijoy Captain line has been fantastic and the RTA is no different. I think what I like most about the Captain line of tanks is the restrictiveness on the airflow. Don't get me wrong, this is no MTL tank with a super tight draw. It is a very nice restrictive lung hit. That is the type of vape that I really, truly enjoy. For me, Ijoy has just nailed the airflow on all of their Captain line tanks. Right now, I have dual twisted SS coils in there ohming out at .14 at 85 watts, in temperature control mode. I have this beautiful tank on my brand new Aleader Funky 160 and the vape I get is just superb. The clouds I get are pretty good but the flavor, the flavor is just really there. This is the type of tank that is just right up my alley. It has the perfect amount of airflow restriction, on point flavor, and the clouds are not bad either. If you put a gun to my head though, I would have to tell you that this is a flavor first RTA. Not saying that it chuck the clouds but the flavor is priority one with the Captain RTA and that is exactly the way I like it.
Well, what can I say? I've owned every tank in the Ijoy Captain line and so far I have yet to be disappointed. The Captain RTA is definitely no different. It will satisfy the flavor chaser in you, it's simple to build and wick, and it has just the right amount of restrictiveness to it. I do have a pre-release version but I do see this tank being very popular. I am assuming that's why Ijoy built the deck the way they did. This tank definitely needs some more deck configurations and it will be a total home run for Ijoy. If you are a flavor-first vaper, definitely go out and pick yourself up a Captain RTA.

York, Pa.'s 23 parks + Renaissance = 24 city parks
Campus Park,sitting on the former footprint of York Collegiate Institute, is one of 24 city parks. It takes its name from the collegiate institute, a forerunner of York College, that occupied the South Duke Street and College Avenue site until 1962. Voni B. Grimes Gym sits next door, formerly the school's gymnasium. College Avenue takes its name from the collegiate institute. Background posts: Richard Nixon's visit to his namesake park sparks memories, Growing off-peak trolley ridership: Build a park and Great Balls of Fire, Memorial Park to spin back to 50s.
The York Daily Record/Sunday News has published a neat Web map with informational windows showing York's 23 parks.
It even includes the city's developing park – Renaissance Park, the city's 24th park – at the corner of East Princess and Prospect streets in the Old Towne East neighborhood.
The following is a story accompanying the map telling about the new park, developed as part of the YWCA's Community Renaissance program :
Kids in the Olde Towne East neighborhood keep asking Greg Clayton the same question about Renaissance Park.
"When's it opening? When's it opening?" said Clayton, the neighborhood association president.
They'll have to wait a few more months. City officials expect York's newest park to open in July.
Clayton thinks the park will have a positive effect on the neighborhood.
"Most of us don't even have backyards," he said. "My backyard's 12 feet by 10 feet."
Renaissance Park is one of a few new things park visitors will see in the city this summer. It's part of the YWCA's Community Renaissance program, funded with state Elm Street dollars.
The name of the project and the park are reflective of the goal: a rebirth of the neighborhood, said Jane Conover, assistant executive director of the YWCA.
Planners asked neighborhood residents what they needed, and the answer was a safe place for children to play, she said.
The new park will be nestled into the corner of East Princess and Prospect streets, behind the York Spanish American Center building.
"This site came up because there was a concentration of burned-out, empty, blighted buildings," she said. "The buildings were pretty much beyond repair."
Plus, the YWCA has signed a contract to purchase the Spanish American Center building, she said, so it will be easy for staff to keep an eye on the park.
The new park will have basketball courts, slides, swings, checkerboard tables, a pavilion and a plaza area with a stage. The park's design includes a turnaround spot at the end of Prospect Street, where people will be able to drop off and pick up children.
"We're actually contemplating on maybe showing a movie or two during the summer," Clayton said.
Renaissance Park is a "pocket park," said Tom Landis, the city's superintendent of parks, recreation and sanitation. It's small and neighborhood-aimed.
The new park will feature public art, he said.
"You won't find a lot of art in our other parks," Landis said.
Another nearby pocket park will look like new this summer.
A makeover of Foundry Park is nearly complete.
"That obviously (was) a pocket park in deplorable shape," Landis said. "Now it's absolutely beautiful."
Previously, hard rains caused mud to flood from the Codorus Creek onto the stage at the plaza. The boat ramp was covered in muck and litter.
The stage and ramp have been raised to prevent flooding. The hill leading to the basin was landscaped, concrete steps were replaced and a new red bench lines the top of the hill.
Ten-foot-tall flowers made of industrial parts were planted along Philadelphia Street to draw visitors in.
Keeping parks clean
Jim Gross, the city's public works director, said trash is picked up twice each week in every park. Keep York Beautiful and neighborhood associations often have park clean-up days as well, he said.
Through the "Angels in the Park" program, businesses or community groups can adopt parks and develop a plan to improve them, whether it's by cleaning up or doing some other work. There are still a few parks available for angels, he said.
"Obviously (litter) is an issue throughout the city," Gross said. But the parks have trash receptacles for a reason. "We encourage everyone not to litter."
This summer, the parks could see a little more regular patrolling. Last year, city council members approved spending almost $64,000 for a park ranger program.
Landis said the program is still in the beginning stages.
Right now, the city relies on police to check on the parks during regular patrols, Landis said. But police are usually busy handling calls, which limits their time, he said.
Rangers would check on people who get permits to use the parks, as well as make sure the parks' hours are enforced, he said.
"The parks do close at 10 p.m.," he said.
City officials are still determining how the program will be staffed, he said.
Gross said the program might be staffed through city police on overtime. He'd like them to be on hand for scheduled events, such as the regular movie series at Kiwanis Lake.
"We're going to kind of see how it works for this summer," he said.

No Sinner | Love Is A Madness | New Music
by Stuart Westwood | Mar 27, 2014 | Music reviews and news | 0 comments
Vancouver's powerhouse blues rock band No Sinner, hot off their critically acclaimed concerts at this year's SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, return to the UK and Europe for an extensive tour in May 2014, releasing their new single "Love Is A Madness" on 26th May. The UK and European tour follows a sold out showcase show at The Blackheart, Camden, back in November 2013 which received an incredible reaction from the British music press.The four-piece featuring the sultry lead singer Colleen Rennison (whose surname is No Sinner spelt backwards), not only captured the imagination of the British public, the legendary BBC radio DJ Bob Harris has also fallen for their addictive sound and will record an exclusive session with them for his BBC Radio 2 Show on their return to London in May.
Selected by Amazon UK for their 2014 "New and Emerging Artists" campaign, No Sinner follows in the footsteps of 2013's featured bands (Haim, Daniel Avery and Chvrches).
Their scintillating, raw and powerful debut mini album "Boo Hoo Hoo" has received accolades and rave reviews in Classic Rock, The Blues Magazine, Total Guitar, Guitarist, Blues Matters, Blues & Soul, R2 Magazine, Fireworks, Powerplay, Guitar Techniques and Blues in Britain.
No Sinner, described as a cross between The Black Keys, Alabama Shakes and Janis Joplin, will kick off their European tour at Dublin's Workman's Club, and will then head to the UK to perform alongside Real Estate and Wolf Alice at all three Dot To Dot Festivals in Nottingham, Manchester and Bristol.
The band, who built up a considerable following when they supported Beth Hart in Europe during 2013, will then make their way over to Holland and Germany for dates in Amsterdam, Hamburg, Hannover, Dortmund, Frankfurt, Dresden and Berlin.
Earlier this year, Classic Rock and The Blues Magazine included No Sinner in their"Ones To Watch in 2014" lists. Says Classic Rock – "No Sinner has the charisma of the Joplin-lunged front-woman Colleen Rennison; an early contender for ball-breaking warrior princess of 2014."
Championed by Blues & Soul as "Album of the Month" the magazine went on to say, "Think of Joss Stone, Etta James and Beth Hart's growling blues rock raunch with the retro rock power of Vintage Trouble, and the rasping rockabilly of Imelda May. Add to the mix, Alabama Shakes, and stir."

6 Things You Wish Your iPad Could Do for Business
By Raj Ramdya Posted in Business
There's a lot of talk about the "post-PC" era, and with the announcement of the new iPad and all of its upgraded features, it seems like we're getting closer than ever to full-time tablet use. And with innovative uses developing in multiple industries, we feel the device is taking baby steps into the big leagues. But for those who are interested in using their iPad for all of their business needs, even some of the new features are lacking.
Mashable spoke with business people and members of our community to gauge at what is actually missing from their iPads — and what they'd like to see implemented in the near future. This wish list highlights six of these requests, both for hardware and software, from the community. Overall, the message is clear: Those who use their iPad full-time for business-related ventures feel that it's not fully equipped for every scenario. Whether it's providing proper function during presentations or properly interfacing with work PCs, there's plenty more that Apple can do to make its tablet more helpful in daily business situations.
1. More External Tools
"While Wi-Fi is slowly becoming the norm, a lot of hotels and clients,a lot will still offer an data jack/ISDN cable and expect you to do magic. An adapter / minimodem for the single access port would be cool," says Lance Paterson, owner of Moonlight Consultancy.
2. More PDA-Like Functionality
"The iPad needs to get smarter. It already knows your schedule, your contacts and your location. What if it could automatically coordinate your schedule based on the time, your location and your open calendar slots? What if it could automatically send a text message to your appointments if it detects that you're running late to a meeting? What if your iPad could provide you with important information about a new contact based on who you both know, your social profiles, and more?" asks David Zumini, digital marketing specialist at CompanionLink Software. "In my opinion, it's little things like this that can add up to a huge boost in productivity with the iPad."
3. Projector Capability
"Much of my work involves traveling from place to place and giving product demos. An iPad is great if you are doing a quick one-to-one, but as soon as you have a crowd, you either need a largish laptop (I sometimes use an old 17″ Dell for groups of 3 to 4) or a TV or projector, " says Nigel Cannings, CTO of Chase ITS.
4. More/Better PC Compatibility
"I wish the iPad would interact better with PCs. Fonts in word docs are always funky," says Ed McMasters, director of marketing and communications at Flottman Company.
5. More Professional Applications
"What I find most lacking (even in the new iPad just announced) is the absence of major pro applications such as Final Cut Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver and other software that professionals and businesses like ours use everyday," says Brian Searl, founder and CEO of Insider Perks. "Until such replacements can seamlessly be used in the iPad, the 'Post PC era' can't officially begin."
6. The Ability to Code on The iPad
"I wish my iPad can do web/mobile programming so that I don't have to carry my MacBook everywhere," says Nur Iman Izam.
In this FREE report, we uncover the 5 things the super effective are doing on the web, that have their organizations developing like a weed paying little mind to the economy.
"I want to express my appreciation for the exceptional work done by Raj Ramdya. He has been courteous, professional, and thorough - while bringing a wealth of knowledge and maturity, a demonstrated work ethic and a great attitude to his work"

Azamara Journey to Observe Centennial Anniversary of Titanic Sinking
Home/Destination Immersion® Experiences Blog/Azamara Journey to Observe Centennial Anniversary of Titanic Sinking
By Azamara Club Cruises on Wednesday, November 03, 2010
ASHEVILLE, NC and MIAMI, September 17, 2010 – Willtiger Corporation and Azamara® are proud to announce Voyages! Titanic 2012, a once-in-a-lifetime experience aboard Azamara Journey commemorating the historic maiden trans-Atlantic voyage of the RMS Titanic. Departing April 9, 2012, from Boston on a nine-night roundtrip itinerary, the voyage will arrive at the location of the final resting place of Titanic on her 100th anniversary and remain for three days, where Azamara Journey will be the exclusive cruise ship to receive live video feeds from a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) deployed from an expeditionary ship alongside. Throughout, guests will have opportunities to immerse themselves in the history and experience of Titanic. Bookings are now available via Voyages! Titanic 2012 reservation line at 1-800-294-5269.

Throughout, we will offer guests a deeper understanding of what Titanic's passenger experienced through a great schedule of enrichment programs and memorials."
Onboard, guests will be able to participate in three memorial services, a wreath-laying ceremony, as well as presentations by a prestigious line-up of maritime and fashion researchers and historians, executives from international Titanic societies, and survivors' relatives. Dinner menus also will feature dishes from recipes served aboard Titanic and guests can learn the Irish dance with which the ship's third-class passengers would have celebrated.
"It is truly an honor to charter Azamara Journey to Voyages! Titanic 2012 and help memorialize one of the most well-known maritime events in history," said Larry Pimentel, president and CEO of Azamara. "Azamara is dedicated to delivering unique voyages coupled with extraordinary service, and Voyages! Titanic 2012 is an example of the many distinctive itineraries and onboard experiences that we offer."

A7 set for night closures
The A7 is set to be closed overnight for resurfacing works in two locations, for a total of 14 nights.
By Kevin Janiak
Tuesday, 11th January 2022, 3:52 pm
Updated Tuesday, 11th January 2022, 3:52 pm
The A7 will be closed overnight from the Sandbed in Hawick from January 17 to 28.
The works will see Transport Scotland's operating company Bear Scotland resurface 3.2km of carriageway.
The road will be closed from Teviothead to the Johnnie Armstrong Gallery, between 7.30pm to 6am each night from Monday, January 17 to Friday, January 28, excluding Saturday and Sunday nights.
The A7 will then be closed from south of Hawick High School to Sandbed Roundabout at the same time each night from Monday, February 7 to Tuesday, February 9.
A diversion route will be signposted between Hawick and Canonbie via the A6088, B6357 and B7201 throughout the duration of these works.
Emergency services will be given access at all times and local access for residents within the closure points will be maintained when it is safe to pass through. All work is weather dependent and subject to postponement or cancellation.
Tommy Deans, Bear Scotland's South East network manager, said: "These surfacing improvements will help to address the defects on this section of the A7 and will greatly improve the experience for motorists.
"It is essential for safety that we close the road during these works, however, we've arranged for the project to take place overnight to minimise the impact.
"We thank motorists and the local community in advance for their patience and understanding. We'll do all we can to complete the work as quickly and safely as possible."

I'd like to ask about Installation of WinSCP5.77 on Windows Server 2008 R2.
Now I've been installed WinSCP from zip file on Windows Server 2008 R2.
But when I execute that, it doesn't work anymore.
However I could do that with WinSCP5.77(automation [.NET assembly / COM library]) on Windows Server 2008 R2.
So in this environment(Windows Server 2008 R2) I have to install WinSCP5.77(automation [.NET assembly / COM library]),right ?
doesn't work anymore: Did it work before?


With my patch from bug 1139678, we're not doing background parsing anymore to determine whether or not to show the reader button, and instead erring on the side of showing it most of the time (eliminating the obvious things like about: URLs).
However, in the future, it would be nice to be smarter about this and only show the button on pages that will actually return readable articles.
has basically so little impact that talos can't reasonably detect it (in particular, it thinks it reduced paint times... which I'm pretty sure is not logically possible).
Sigh, this caused test failures, likely because we aren't showing the button on our test pages now. I backed this out, but I think a fix will just involve making sure our test page has a bunch of big enough paragraphs to match our algorithm.
Tests pass locally for me with this change.
Margaret, is there anything manual QA can verify here? If so, please provide any information you think might help us on the matter.
> any information you think might help us on the matter.
The main thing to look out for here is whether or not the button appears when we think it should/shouldn't. If you find any pages where the page looks like an article, but the button doesn't appear, you should report that. Alternately, if you ever click the button and the page just reloads, you should report that as well.
A quick update here: this is currently being covered by the tests conducted on Readability.js. The current progress is available in the following etherpad - https://etherpad.mozilla.org/Fx38-Readability.
As of this moment, issues have been filed with the Readability GitHub Repository and will be tracked there in the future as well, for each of the websites available in the list from Bug 1139165 Comment 1.
Marking this as verified since all of the new bugs were filed in GitHub and are being tracked separately.
Manual testing for this was already done in Firefox 38, and I don't think this work needs to be repeated for Firefox 39.


RLSE is a TSO command that releases unused DASD space allocated to datasets.
It is located in File #300 of the #249 version of the CBT tape and is part of a collection of TSO commands from Jim Marshall of the Air Force. It was originally written by Bill Godfrey at the Planning Research Corporation in November of 1978.
The jobstream to assemble, the link-edit, and install the help text - rlse$.jcl - is contained in the archive rlse.tgz [MD5: 6577C469CD5555C798EE4F88F44BCCE5]. Download the archive and extract the jobstream (WinZip on Windows/?? or tar on Linux). Submit the jobstream to assemble and link the single load module for RLSE into SYS2.CMDLIB and copy the help text into SYS2.HELP. If you don't have SYS2.CMDLIB defined, you will need to modify the jobstream to specify a different target load library. Also if you do not have SYS2.HELP defined, you may modify the jobstream to place the help information into SYS1.HELP.

Q: Address Book in iOS I am having trouble working with address book in my current app. The app should be able to let user delete and restore deleted contacts.
to restore contacts, i m thinking to save a copy of vCard to each "person" object, using archives and NSCoding methods, and save it to disk. that way i can pull the "person" object graph out with vCard as a NSData property.
and my question is since vCard doesn't support NSCoding, is it possible to wrap vCard into NSData and use it in encode and decode method in NSCoding protocol?
thanks guys!
