Q: Second order Differential equation with non-constant coefficients When the coefficients are not constant, and one solutions is known, it is easy to use reduction of order to compute the second solution. But what if both solutions are unknown, is there any general approach to the solutions other than guessing one of the solutions? For example:
 $y''+sin(t)y'+cos(t)y=0$
How could one solve this equation if there is no solution provided ?

A: Jonas answered the general question.
Concerning the specific case you give as an example $$y''+\sin(t)\,y'+\cos(t)\,y=0$$ the equation simplifies if we start setting $y=e^z$ which makes the equation to be $$z''+z' \left(z'+\sin (t)\right)+\cos (t)=0$$ for which an "obvious" solution seems to be $z=\cos(t)+c_1$. So $y=c_2\, e^{\cos(t)}$ is a solution.
Is there any other ? This is a question.

A: There is no general method to solve a linear equation with nonconstant coefficients.
However, since in the particular example that you give the coefficients are periodic we do know the structure of the solutions, in view of Floquet theory. Still this is often of little use since there is also no general method to compute the characteristic exponents of the nonperiodic part, which govern the asymptotic behavior of the solutions.

American History, Demographics, Popular Vote Support
Thea Cohen
The Electoral College "Has Not Stood The Test Of Time"
In an excellent piece in the New York Times, Jamelle Bouie explains that the Electoral College has almost never worked as it was intended, and states the case for making a change:
The history of the Electoral College from [1800 on] is of Americans working around the institution, grafting majoritarian norms and procedures onto the political process and hoping, every four years, for a sensible outcome. And on an almost regular schedule, it has done just the opposite.
Americans worried about disadvantaging small states and rural areas in presidential elections should consider how our current system gives presidential candidates few reasons to campaign in states where the outcome is a foregone conclusion. For example, more people live in rural counties in California, New York and Illinois that are solidly red than live in Wyoming, Montana, Alaska and the Dakotas, which haven't voted for a Democratic presidential candidate in decades. In a national contest for votes, Republicans have every reason to mobilize and build turnout in these areas. But in a fight for states, these rural minorities are irrelevant. The same is true of blue cities in red states, where Democratic votes are essentially wasted.
Candidates would campaign everywhere they might win votes, the way politicians already do in statewide races. Political parties would seek out supporters regardless of region. A Republican might seek votes in New England (more than a million Massachusetts voters backed Donald Trump in 2016) while a Democrat might do the same in the Deep South (twice as many people voted for Hillary Clinton in Louisiana as in New Mexico). This, in turn, might give nonvoters a reason to care about the process since in a truly national election, votes count.

I've been asked for for advice on an introductory book on non Euclidean geometry and I have no idea, could you recommend some?
@ondiz I no longer see where I obtained it unfortunately, but "Hyperbolic Geometry," by James Cannon et. al., apparently published in Flavors of Geometry, Volume 31, 1997, is an excellent starting point. It's about a hundred pages long and covers all hyperbolic and conformal models along with the mappings between them, in an intuitive yet accurate manner.
@feonixrift Thank you very much!

Yes. It's Critical To Have One in Place.
You have a planned giving program — that's great! You also have a website, occasionally send out a few marketing emails to donor prospects, and even have a flier to take on prospect visits.
But donations are sporadic. Your group has snagged a few bequests here and there; and maybe you've landed a donor-advised fund. Overall, though, "sales" are flat; those donations just aren't coming in at the rate (or amount) you need. You're beginning to wonder if prospective donors even know that your nonprofit exists.
It's almost like your organization is existing in a vacuum.
Let's look at it from another angle. Imagine you need to drive from New York to California. Instead of creating a route using GPS (or, for those of you who are old-school, a map), you just jump in the car and drive.
You're going to end up somewhere … but chances are, it's not going to be where you intended. That's what operating your planned giving program without a marketing plan is like.
Every business has an ideal customer prospect. Every nonprofit has an ideal donor prospect. Your organization needs to understand what drives your prospects to donate. Is it the idea of creating a lasting legacy? The thought of saving the environment? A desire to help children in need? A marketing plan helps you to identify those prospects and their motivation, then target your materials accordingly.
Operating without a marketing plan wastes money. Let's go back to the cross-country drive metaphor for a minute. What's the shortest distance between two points? A straight line. If you're making random turns and zigzagging toward your destination, you're going to burn up a lot more gas than you would by taking a direct route. Throwing money at a few Facebook ads here and a flier there does the same thing — burns up your budget without any real progress. A plan will allow you to set your budget and maximize your marketing ROI — return on investment.
You do know your organization has a brand, right?
A brand is your identity. It's what differentiates you from all the other organizations vying for donations. Your marketing materials should reflect that brand and send a consistent message. That helps prospects relate to your mission — which is the key to donations.
A marketing plan is a tangible product that can be presented to the entire team. From board members to gift officers, it's a way to get everyone on the same page. It helps ensure consistent explanations of each planned giving product — no matter who's doing the talking. Because in the end, everyone on your nonprofit's team is responsible for the organization's success.
We'll say it again: Fail to plan, and you plan to fail.
A marketing plan is the best way to ensure success. What's your organization's fundraising priority? Is it a building fund; scholarship; raising capital to purchase and preserve open space? Having a plan will allow you to identify and set priorities so the marketing budget goes to the right place. It's the most efficient way to achieve your nonprofit's goals.
Now that you know why your nonprofit needs a plan, let's talk about the best way to create one: through a marketing audit.
In other words, what you're doing right, what you're doing wrong, what you could be doing, and what could have a negative affect on your nonprofit's financial health.
Help you identify your target audience — because as we mentioned earlier, your nonprofit will appeal to a certain demographic. That's where your money is.
Evaluate your current marketing strategy.
Evaluate your competitors (yes, your nonprofit has competitors — namely, other nonprofits; and yes, possibly some for-profits).
Create a game plan to move forward.
Whether you hire us or do it inhouse with your team … Put. Something. Down. On. Paper.

Q: Why missing HttpResponseMessage.IsSuccessStatusCode Property in Blazor? I always get the response of HTTP like this as what Microsoft said(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/http-requests?view=aspnetcore-3.0) and it works well:
var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get,string.Format(NavigationManager.Uri + "Callback/JSInitialise"));

        var client = _clientFactory.CreateClient();
        var response = client.SendAsync(request);
        if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
        {
            string Content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        }

And now I used it in Blazor:
@inject IHttpClientFactory _clientFactory
@using SI_Customservice.Pages.Componets
@using System.Net.Http
 protected override async Task OnInitializedAsync()
    {

        var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Get, string.Format(NavigationManager.Uri + "Callback/JSInitialise"));

        var client = _clientFactory.CreateClient();
        var response = client.SendAsync(request);
        if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
        {
            string Content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
        }
}

Meanwhile, Visual Studio reports this error:

Well, as https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.net.http.httpresponsemessage.issuccessstatuscode?view=netcore-3.0 said, it is in the Namespace of System.Net.Http which I have used it.
Why it still can not be recognized by Visual Studio yet?

Q: sum of n numbers in a specific range im trying to write a program in python3 that takes two space separated integers as an input, the first one indicates a range, and the second indicates the sum.
the output should be a list of numbers within the range, and these numbers must sum to the target sum. you should produce the minimum amount of the largest numbers possible.
example :
#input:
5 10
#output:
1 4 5 #note: 2 3 5 also possible, but since 4 is larger than 2 and 3 then 1 4 5 is the correct solution)
#but the  solution i came up is inefficient for large values such as the example:
#input:
1477 410768
#output:
793 1168 1169 1170 1171 1172 1173 1174 1175 1176 1177 1178 1179 1180 1181 1182 1183 1184 1185 1186 1187 1188 1189 1190 1191 1192 1193 1194 1195 1196 1197 1198 1199 1200 1201 1202 1203 1204 1205 1206 1207 1208 1209 1210 1211 1212 1213 1214 1215 1216 1217 1218 1219 1220 1221 1222 1223 1224 1225 1226 1227 1228 1229 1230 1231 1232 1233 1234 1235 1236 1237 1238 1239 1240 1241 1242 1243 1244 1245 1246 1247 1248 1249 1250 1251 1252 1253 1254 1255 1256 1257 1258 1259 1260 1261 1262 1263 1264 1265 1266 1267 1268 1269 1270 1271 1272 1273 1274 1275 1276 1277 1278 1279 1280 1281 1282 1283 1284 1285 1286 1287 1288 1289 1290 1291 1292 1293 1294 1295 1296 1297 1298 1299 1300 1301 1302 1303 1304 1305 1306 1307 1308 1309 1310 1311 1312 1313 1314 1315 1316 1317 1318 1319 1320 1321 1322 1323 1324 1325 1326 1327 1328 1329 1330 1331 1332 1333 1334 1335 1336 1337 1338 1339 1340 1341 1342 1343 1344 1345 1346 1347 1348 1349 1350 1351 1352 1353 1354 1355 1356 1357 1358 1359 1360 1361 1362 1363 1364 1365 1366 1367 1368 1369 1370 1371 1372 1373 1374 1375 1376 1377 1378 1379 1380 1381 1382 1383 1384 1385 1386 1387 1388 1389 1390 1391 1392 1393 1394 1395 1396 1397 1398 1399 1400 1401 1402 1403 1404 1405 1406 1407 1408 1409 1410 1411 1412 1413 1414 1415 1416 1417 1418 1419 1420 1421 1422 1423 1424 1425 1426 1427 1428 1429 1430 1431 1432 1433 1434 1435 1436 1437 1438 1439 1440 1441 1442 1443 1444 1445 1446 1447 1448 1449 1450 1451 1452 1453 1454 1455 1456 1457 1458 1459 1460 1461 1462 1463 1464 1465 1466 1467 1468 1469 1470 1471 1472 1473 1474 1475 1476 1477```

HomeBrittany Club History and Brittany Dog Breed InformationBreed History
The breed started life in an area of France called Callac. In the village of Callac itself, there stands a statue of a French Cob horse, on which the Brittany is reputed to be based.
French Cob horse
In the 1800's it was usual for the landed gentry in England to shoot partridge and snipe in France, and, of course, they took with them their best gundogs, mostly setters and pointers. These were often left with the French landowners from one season to the next, and resulted in a number of matings between the popular Fougeres, a very highspirited spaniel from the area, and these English Pointers and English and Gordon Setters – A HOT gundog was born – THE BRITTANY!

Due to the variety of colours in the English Pointers and Setters, and the black and tan of the Gordon Setter, the Brittany also appeared in many coats. (Contrary to some opinions, the Welsh Springer Spaniel is not generally regarded as being related, even though the colouring is similar to the orange and white version of the Brittany, their basic origins being substantially different!)
It was such a popular combination of dog that by 1900, the animals produced from planned matings had become more or less typified. The Brittany has a very strong nose, is an excellent hunter, and can sometimes be spectacular in pointing game, since it works the ground at a great speed, and may suddenly stop or leap on to point.
The first French Champion in the breed was a liver and white dog named MAX DE CALLAC. Another outstanding dog in France was SKA DE SAINT TUGEN (a black based tri-colour), himself a Grand Champion and Grand Trialler, and also sire, grand-sire and great-grand-sire of many champions and triallers. SKA was the epitome of the Callac horse, being well ribbed, short-coupled, well muscled, and having great presence. Many British bred dogs are related to him.
The breed is becoming increasingly popular in this country, particularly with those sportsmen interested in rough shooting and falconry in its various forms. It is a very stylish dog in field trials, and six Field Trial Champions have been made up since 1982. Three of these have been converted to Dual Champions – an unbelievable record in a numerically small breed, as well as being the highest accolade in the gundog world.
Dual Champions are those dogs which are both a Field Trial Champion and a Full Champion or a Show Champion.
It is also popular in the show ring and the Kennel Club granted Challenge Certificate Status in 1997, and there are now a number of Show Champions and Full Champions


The expat guilt I am currently feeling is unlike the previous one. When asked how I am enjoying living in London I often answer with, "It's okay." Don't get me wrong, I love visiting the museums, having a drink at my local and popping over to mainland Europe when funds and time permit. But I don't feel settled. I am not "home." So I often feel guilty that I don't love living here. I'm just not the city girl that I used to be. Having been happiest in a small big city I know that's where I belong. And although living outside London isn't impossible, I'll tell you what may be: owning a house. Pay is less and expenses are twice as much when compared to life in Austin. Owning a house in London feels like a grand dream. And damn it, we want a house, with a big 'ole kitchen.
I'm in total nesting mode. I want space. And I want to fill it up with visiting family, friends and little babies (okay, maybe just one baby). I want to design and set up my sewing/craft room. I want to pick up the phone and just call my friends and parents rather than have to plan a day and time we can Skype. I want to see the rest of the U.S., driving across it with music blaring and camera in hand.
This seems like a copout but life in Austin was simply easier, happier. Expecting to continue that same quality of life in London was my first mistake, I was doubly disappointed. I was silly to think life would be the same but with a different backdrop. We are very thankful for our experiences here but we think we are quite satiated (although we won't stop looking, visiting and doing!). We moved here not knowing if we would extend our stay in London or move back. Now I can say without any doubt that we are thoroughly looking forward to moving back to Austin in a year or so. Home is where we feel settled, where we feel at ease. Home is Austin. So why do I still feel guilty?

That last picture is too amazing for words. I love it so much!
Thank you! Our wedding photographer was/is awesome.
I hear you completely. Many people are envious, as living abroad seems only glamorous. But it is a big adjustment, and as you say, at a certain point you want to nest and be around friends, invest in a stable job. I have the exact same guilty feeling when I have a whole day to spend in London but after a year and a half have pretty much done all the free or cheap stuff! We are looking at a move back as well but to a state where we don't know many people. Big trade offs….
I do feel better knowing that I'm not alone and there are people who can relate to my how I'm feeling. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
No don't feel bad about expat guilt… i think we all hit a spot where we feel like that. Nesting is a natural thing, and when you're living in a transitory space, you know deep down that any nesting-related acquisitions are going to go to someone else anyway. It can be very unsettling.
I have no words of advice, except to acknowledge how you're feeling, and validate yourself by knowing that most ex-pats around you feel the same sometimes.
No reason to feel guilt at all – life is all about finding what works for you (and yours) to be content. I have been in the Uk for over thirty years now and to begin with I lived in the English countryside and was never really happy. Then we moved to London to be close to my wife's parents and I felt at thome again. I guess I am a big city person at heart..
I never realized how important that 'at home/settled' feeling was until I noticed it was missing. That's great that you finally feel at home!
Mela, I am so sorry to be only commenting on old posts now!! I've read most of them but I think I was in can't cope / hibernation mode in December!
I think this is exactly how I felt in South Africa and I lived there for 25 years. England was always home for me and I felt better when I was here. That feeling when I landed, when I knew we were moving back here for good, was incredible. I finally felt like I was home.
I know you will feel that in six or eight months' time.
Strangely enough, now that I've finally been home and loved it, I have been thinking of moving to Cape Town. Something I kind of know, but not the city I lived in so it is different.
No worries! I'm glad you were able to catch up.
I will definitely visit you when you go back home!!

Land of myth and mystery, the island of Java has always fascinated anthropologists and explorers. Economic, cultural and political center of Indonesia, it is the pulsating heart of the archipelago. As you move away from the bustling Jakarta, you will discover an island with splendid natural scenery, living to the rhythm of rich and demanding traditions.
From legendary volcanoes to secular temples (Borobudur, photo), from royal cities to idyllic beaches, Java is a perpetual invitation to travel because of all the facets of the island.
The temples of Borobudur and Prambanan , both UNESCO World Heritage sites because of their grandeur, architectural beauty, religious and spiritual value. As for traditions , they are transmitted through generations and crafts. Take a tour of the treasures that every city of Java has in its heart and then go relax on the flanks and the heart of the craters of the two most famous volcanoes of Indonesia. The Mount Bromo and its lunar landscape will surprise you as much as the emerald lake and the yellow fumarolescrater of Mount Ijen .
In conclusion Java is the unusual grandiose landscape and a still innocent relationship between the natives & foreigners very appreciable; you will be photographed as if you were stars as travelers are rare !

"Team Player" Across Cultures - Dom, Alston, and Ruoxi
After reading the journal article "We want a team player: A formative cross-cultural investigation in the United States, China, and South Korea" (Park, Lee, Westerman, & Guan, 2019) with the GRIP lab, Dominique, Ruoxi, and Alston discuss their thoughts on the paper.
In this article, the researchers found that people who belong to different cultural groups may consider a team player's responsibilities differently. For example, U.S Americans and Chinese participants were shown to prefer a balance between task and social roles, whereas Korean participants were shown to prioritize tasks over social roles. A reason for this, as attributed by the authors, is that different cultures may emphasize tasks and social roles differently (Park et al., 2019).
Ruoxi thinks the implications of this study could be furthered by follow-up studies on the effect that heterogeneous perception of team player's responsibilities might have on multicultural teams. Since many companies, and even school projects, incorporate peer reviews in evaluating individual teammate member's contribution, the result of this study might have practical implications on how to conduct these peer reviews in multicultural teams. For instance, Ruoxi wonders if a multicultural team receives vague instructions on how to evaluate teammates, diversity within the team might decrease over time as members who hold different standards of performance receive an unfavorable evaluation from the majority of the team. Ruoxi recognizes that this hypothesis might be a long shot from the current study as many other factors, such as whether people contribute to teamwork in accordance with their own conception of a good teammate or the groups' expectations, need to be tested. Nonetheless, her general hope is to see future studies complement the current research with more data on the relationship between cultural identity and group dynamics, backed by specific behaviors of the people studied in supplement to the interviews.
Alston is skeptical about the findings because he thinks it is problematic for the authors to overgeneralize the populations of people who are involved. People in the United States, Korea, and China are most likely all very different in the way they interact with their teams. Therefore, he thinks that it is quite unfair to attribute a certain characteristic to a whole group of people. Not only can overgeneralization result in the formation of stereotypes of individuals, but it can also deter people from branching out and trying new ways to work with their teams.
Dominique agrees with Alston that the authors did overgeneralize about the way each culture typically views "team player" performance. She thinks it would be interesting to expand this study, and see how diverse teams should interact with each other. With increased globalization and the increased use of virtual meetings, it is likely that more work teams will become more diverse and have people from different backgrounds and different cultures. If the study is true in their assumption that some cultures view the term "team player" in different ways than understanding that impact could benefit many work teams.
As for the implications of the study, we agree that this article reinforces the importance of having more diverse teams. From our experiences, we saw that groups work best when individual team members have different leadership styles. For example, if everyone in the group wants to constantly lead the discussion, they might clash in an argument. Therefore, if the results of the article were to be more credible, it would imply that we should encourage more diverse teams even more heavily.
On Demographic Heterogeneity - Tianke and Katherine
After reading "Tensions Between Diversity and Shared Leadership: The Role of Team Political Skill" (Xu, Chiu, & Treadway, 2019) with the GRIP Lab, Tianke and Katherine discuss their thoughts on the paper.
Tianke and Katherine are really glad to have been part of the discussion about the function of "demographic heterogeneity" on shared leadership in teams. In their article, Xu et al. argue that demographic diversity — in gender and race specifically — inhibits people's motivation to share leadership roles with others. Since people with similar backgrounds are more likely to identify with their team, they are more likely to hold shared group values and engage in a higher magnitude of shared leadership. On the other hand, people who have different backgrounds tend to be less inclined to share leadership with others in their group (Xu et al., 2019).
Katherine thinks some parts of the article to be valid and relatable to her own experiences and observations. Over the course of her life, she has gravitated toward people who were similar to her. However, she believes that some parts of the article may be overgeneralizations. There are many forms of diversity, including age, major, socioeconomic status, and political ideology. She wonders what the results of a study that examined these other forms of diversity while controlling for ethnicity and gender would look like.
Tianke, on the other hand, feels strongly that diverse groups work best together. He believes that humans are meant to experience new ideas, to meet new people, to embrace new ideologies and perspectives, and to grow. To do that, they need to encounter demographic heterogeneity in their lives. In a group work setting, this demographic diversity matures discussion, helping the group draw a fuller picture of the world by combining the perspectives of many people's eyes.
Katherine and Tianke both also had some reflections about Zoom breakout rooms. Katherine believes that through random allocation, breakout rooms eliminate personal biases in creating groups, so everyone has the chance to interact with people they might never have otherwise. However, she has found, in general, that communication through a screen is more awkward and uncomfortable than communication in person, that it is harder to develop and maintain connections with other people, especially when some of them turn their cameras off. Although diversity is promoted, Katherine wonders if the tempering effects of political skill could be hindered. She also wonders how relationships forged solely through on-screen calls would carry over in real-life –– whether they'll grow weaker or stronger.
Tianke, on the other hand, recently had an experience that showed more promise for relationships within heterogeneous groups, even those in virtual environments. This past Friday, he organized an event called "Space Gathering," where he invited eight of his friends who didn't know each other beforehand to a Zoom meeting where they had a dialogue for two hours. He purposely selected the participants to promote diversity, as there was a mix of genders, majors, personality types, and nationalities. He designed several group activities to see if connections could be made among these "familiar" strangers. To maximize heterogeneity for each team, he pre-arranged breakout rooms so that every person would meet two people who have different backgrounds with them. After each person shared two identities and real stories behind, Tianke told the groups to use generative and reflective listening skills to validate each others' stories and feelings so that each person could be heard.
As Xu et al. suggest in their article, people are disinclined to share leadership roles with dissimilar others. Tianke expected his friends' discussion to go into a dead end; however, that was not the case. During the debrief, people shared that their natural curiosity towards those who were different inspired them to explore the others' stories, experiences, and ideas.
"As a person who always interacts with people who are similar to me and who usually stays in my comfort zone, I was really excited to listen to people's diverse experiences and imagine their living environments," one participant reflected. "I agree," replied another participant. "My desire to connect with people dissimilar to me, along with our shared curiosity, made us consciously active when engaging in conversation, motivating us to seek an optimal solution using group efforts."


THIRTY YEARS AGO, on June 8, 1982, President Reagan delivered an address to the British Parliament that stands as one of the greatest of his presidency and a milestone in the final years of the Cold War. At a time when the Soviet Union seemed to be a permanent, if foreboding, presence in the world, Reagan predicted that "the march of freedom and democracy" would "leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash heap of history as it has left other tyrannies which stifle the freedom and muzzle the self-expression of the people." . . .
Recent events in China, Russia and the Arab world vividly demonstrate that democracy remains a universal aspiration — but also that the forces of repression have powerful means to resist the tide. The National Endowment for Democracy, and like-minded agencies that other democracies subsequently established, have found useful ways to aid and nurture freedom movements. Words, too, are important. Reading the Westminster speech is a good reminder of their power to inspire action, and change history.

Garmin Edge 530 Bike Computer
Backcountry.com
The Garmin Edge 530 is the latest in Garmin's line of premium GPS bike computers, aimed at performance-minded cyclists of all disciplines. Launched in spring 2019 along with the more expensive touchscreen Edge 830, the Edge 530 is as feature-rich as any of today's crop of best cycling computers. However, in the days of touch-screen smartphones and voice remotes, the endless button-pressing can become a tedious exercise.
As expected, the Edge 530 shares its basic characteristics, including features such as LiveTrack, GroupTrack and Strava Live Segments with the previous generation Edge 520, however, it adds a raft of new features wrapped in a more aesthetically pleasing package.
As for charging, every 20 hours should be fine, or you can double that in battery-saver mode, albeit exact times will depend on a range of factors, of course. There's also the option of the extra Garmin battery pack add-on, which will more-than-double battery life again. That's a potential of 80+ hours of riding time on a single charge.
Design and aesthetics
The Garmin Edge 530 (and Edge 830, given they share the same dimensions) isn't exactly diminutive in size, it's what we'd consider medium-sized in the world of GPS bike computers. With dimensions of 82 x 50 x 20mm, it's a few millimetres smaller, but thicker than the Wahoo Elemnt Roam (89 x 54.4 x 17.8mm), and the screen size of 2.6in means it's smaller than said rival, too.
With a (claimed) weight of 75.8 grams, it's not the lightest, but it's far from the heaviest on the market - especially when considering the Edge 1030 is 124g, the Hammerhead Karoo is a whopping 186g, and the mite-sized Edge 130 tips the scales at just 33g.
The screen of the Garmin Edge 530 is small in comparison to the Edge 1030 or the Hammerhead Karoo, however, thanks to the 246x322 pixel resolution display, it really doesn't suffer as a result. The display is crisp and clear, and thanks to the automatic backlight brightness, it's easy to see the metrics, no matter the conditions.

My period with the Garmin Edge 530 has been a largely enjoyable time, however I'd be lying if I said there weren't any hiccups. The out-of-box setup was actually very straightforward, the onscreen prompts and phone-pairing and wifi-connection processes were simple. However, after my first ride, my ride failed to upload. A few days of manual intervention ensued before a hard-reset, a firmware update, an app-delete, and multiple 'forget this device' prompts eventually put paid to my initial headaches. That aside, the Garmin Edge 530 is pretty much 'set-and-forget' in its application; exactly what users want from a GPS device.
As mentioned above, the Edge 530 has a truckload of new features to play with, from a roadie focussed café-stop bike alarm to the hang time feature that will tease the gnarly among us.
Turn-by-turn navigation was introduced to Garmin's Five series computers when they launched the Edge 520 Plus, so while mapping is not new for the Edge 530, this time we feel they've done it right. With the introduction of a much more powerful processor, it is now fast and very easy to use. In real-world terms, this means a 90km route will take around 20 seconds to load. This isn't long, but it would be nice for the routing to start immediately while the remainder of the route is calculating. Garmin, if you're listening, you can have that one for free...
The Edge 530 features full turn-by-turn navigation, although on the unit itself, you can only navigate as deep as street level. For specific addresses and points of interest, you'll either need to pre-create your route via Garmin Connect, or you'll want the 830.
There is a downside, however. Due to the lack of a touchscreen, map browsing takes a lot of button presses. There are two buttons that control panning north or south, panning east or west, and zooming in and out, and you need to use a third button to switch between the three. You can soon become comfortable and relatively fast at doing it, but it is still a laborious process.
That said, once a destination is chosen (or if you're following a preloaded route) the routing itself is fantastic. Like previous Edge models, it'll route-to-start, and thanks in part to the crisp colour display, a simple glance down is all it takes to check if you're on track (audio cues are also available).
Bike Alarm
A nice touch is the Bike Alarm which works a treat when leaving your race bike in the car park while you nip indoors to sign on or merely stop at a petrol garage for something to eat. Any time that your bike is close-by but not necessarily in line of sight - park your bike up, switch the bike alarm feature on, and should your Garmin detect movement, a loud (read: unpleasant) noise will sound and your phone will notify you.
Find My Edge
While the most obvious benefits are for off-road rides where chattery terrain or a crash could send your Garmin device into a nearby bush, this is a useful peace-of-mind feature for all. Should your Garmin ever come unhitched mid-ride, your phone will save the exact coordinates of the point at which the connection is lost. Then, even if you don't notice until you're 5km down the road, you can simply open the app and ask it to redirect you back to that point. If you still can't find it you can ask the Garmin to sound an alarm (assuming you're close enough for a Bluetooth connection to be re-established).
ClimbPro
ClimbPro is a useful tool that tells you all the necessary information about a climb. It'll let you know that a climb is coming, along with the important numbers (distance, gradient, ascent, etc). When it begins, it will bring up a new screen, which gives you a profile, with a few key metrics such as the average remaining gradient and distance.
I'd personally like the ability to adjust what is considered a climb. Throughout my time with the Garmin, ClimbPro was offered for very small lumps in the road, yet I also had long climbs arrive without warning.

Better structured workouts
This feature allows you to integrate the Edge 530 with training planners such as TrainingPeaks. It's not only clearer than previous iterations, when you've loaded your workout, you can pick a route on which to ride that particular session.
Performance measurements
The newly added performance measurements are vast, and provide insight into myriad performance-based metrics such as training load and load focus - are you predominantly training your aerobic or anaerobic energy systems? The power curve is a useful addition, providing mean-max power for any given duration - great for on-the-fly training and intervals. Recovery suggestions remain, and heat and altitude acclimation is now calculated when above 22 degrees and 800m respectively, offering adjusted training zones and corrections to your VO2 Max.
Gear (clothing) suggestions and consumption reminders
Based on your chosen route, the training session planned, and the weather, the Garmin Edge 530 will even tell you how to dress - often suggesting rain gear for us British folk. It will also suggest the amount of food (or more accurately, the number of calories) you should carry. This isn't an essential feature, but it's a helpful, quick checklist to make sure you avoid the dreaded bonk - we've all been 20km from home, reached down for a bottle, only to realise you've left it on the kitchen table!
MTB features
I know, I know... you're a road cyclist, me too. Therefore, I didn't get to use these features to their full potential, however, to touch on them briefly, the main additions are calculations of Grit and Flow. Grit will measure the difficulty of a course itself, whereas Flow measures how well you rode it; were you braking too much? Were you stop-start all ride? That sort of thing.
Theoretically, if you were to go for a ride with friends, you should all get similar Grit scores, but you'll likely get vastly different Flow scores. I am an unashamed sheep of the gravel cycling movement, so while pretending I was Mathieu van der Poel, I did enjoy playing with another new feature which uses the Garmin's accelerometers to measure hang time, jump count and jump distance - my record was an entirely unimpressive four metres (and a new pair of bib shorts). Finally, TrailForks has also been integrated into the base map of the Garmin Edge 530, and with my current gravel bias, I was keen to try it out. While the Connect IQ app previously existed, it's no longer required to find new trails, which I can assure you, will come in handy when out on your next lazy Sunday of off-road junk miles, wondering in which direction to head next.

On the whole, my time with the Garmin Edge 530 was great. There were a few initial headaches with setup, but once they were out of the way, the long list of features made for a great device that was fast, clear, and a genuinely beneficial addition to my ride. At £259.99, it's not the most expensive unit on the market but if it were my own hard-earned cash, I have to say I would opt for the Edge 830 and its touch-screen refinement. See, the majority of my fitness building phase is done in the middle of winter where two pairs of gloves - not to mention a frozen moustache - is not particularly conducive to button-pushing and fiddling about on the bike. My advice would be to spend the extra and get the touchscreen Edge 830.

Want to leave me a review? Cool!
"Taylor is amazing! Even if we never met prior to my wedding day, she made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which is something no one's ever been able to do before!
She's super friendly and approachable, she finished editing the photos and sent them to us really quickly (even our friends were amazed by how fast it was), and she even got down on the ground to take some amazing shots - that's dedication!
I'm so glad I happened to come across her work because it was exactly the look I was going for, and I'm not sure many other photographers would've been able to do what she does.

Q: Gmail strips off counter-increment css styles I have used styling in my project from sending emails via mandrill. I am able to see all css properties being applied such as padding and margin etc, however, I have also used counter-increment and counter-reset properties in my style code which gmail strips off.
I am able to see the same styles being correctly applied when I view the email on Mandrill but not on gmail.
Is there a way to make sure gmail does not remove the couter-reset and counter-increment styles? :(


Last Bloggers United was my 7th time to join and it was really fun. I had a lot of new experiences and one of them was learning about OLX. I'm sure you might be thinking, what's so interesting about it? Well, for a bazaarista or seller like me, it's really helpful. Because, let's all admit it, there are times that we sell so much at bazaars, but there will always be some stuff left and eventually, those can clutter your space or just accumulate dust.
For me, it's important that I have enough space at home, so that I can work in peace and that my kids have the freedom to move around. Decluttering is the only solution for this and whenever my unused stuff at home just sits there and gets dirty, it makes me feel sad. It'll end up old without anyone even benefiting from it. So, when OLX came into the picture, I thought it was timely and perfect! Whatever I don't get to sell at the bazaar, I can do it online until I sell again at another bazaar!
Just like the trinkets and phone cases I have above. I still have quite a few stocks left, so I figured these would be great to sell online via OLX. The prices are pocket friendly too!
Selling online is a great way to earn cash. You just need to take a clear photo of your product, answer inquiries via computer and items can be brought to the buyers through Cash on Delivery. :) Talk about convenience and getting your money's worth!
I'm cleaning up my space and Yesss, Yaman ko pa!:) Love it! You too can join!
