How to Regain Power from the Unconscious Mind
Aug 16, 2018
The relationship between the conscious and unconscious levels of your mind can best be exemplified through this analogy.
The ideal is in thyself, the impediments too is in thyself.
Hey there!
What's your story? You might well ask this cliché in this time of super connectivity. Before answering, I advise you to take a deep breath and relax because I am not the guy who will tell you what you want to hear – I've never been this guy, and never will be. Everybody is telling you that speed is everything and that it's not the big that eats the small stuff but rather the quick that beats the slow. They are programming you to act now because everything is in motion and so should be your actions. Nonsense; it is the direction that counts in the first place. If it's not, try speed instead and you will end up far away from your desired destination. The speed is a trap that only eludes those who are asleep. For the few awaken, speed is not the issue.
Rome wasn't built in a day and so are great things in life. I remember Gabriel Garcia Marquez saying years after publishing his masterpiece novel "One Hundred years of solitude" he says: before publishing the novel, I spent the last 14 years of my life thinking about it mentally in my mind and 2 years more writing it on paper.
I find an affinity with Marquez as I spent the last 14 years thinking about YOU after I published my first book on Leadership in the year 2000. The book's name is "We are all Einstein" it was written in Arabic. At that time I was working in a leading advertising agency in Cairo. Since my early years in life I was fascinated with leaders. At the age of nine I picked up a book from my dad's library about leadership. When reflecting on this incident, I wonder why choosing this book in particular of all the 4000 books in my father's library. Reflecting on this experience I remember in 1976, when I was 9 years. My father who is a lawyer asks me at that time helping him categorizing all the books in his library. Being his eldest son, I had no choice but to help. The assignment wasn't easy at that time bearing in mind no computer back then and even worse it wasn't 100-book-library but a 6500-book- library. The books were in all branches of knowledge; law, legislation, literature, religion, health, food and lifestyle, science, business, leadership (military). The last subject is the one that excites me the most.
Why I am sharing this bio with you? Well, because I have something that will make a difference in your life; something I was working on the last 16 years – rightly after launching my first book on Leadership. I spent these years as head of marketing in companies that are leaders in their markets; I helped a TV station brand and position itself then another brand that was a privately owned hospital in Egypt and one that is associated with Cleveland Clinic. Also, I was in charge of sales at a media establishment in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for four years.

Father's Day has a special meaning to most and for PGA TOUR athletes it's no different. In a new PGA TOUR Superstore multi-media campaign and tribute to dads, the world's best golfers share favorite memories of their own fathers, and for some, their best moments as dads themselves.
Over the next two-week span, the national golf and tennis retailer (PGA TOUR Superstore), known for its interactive stores across the country, will share personal stories, favorite memories and for some, pure emotion centered on their fathers. To track the videos as they are released, visit http://www.pgatoursuperstore.com/dad.
Jordan Spieth, Sergio Garcia, Jason Day, Rickie Fowler, Justin Rose, Bubba Watson and others will be part of a campaign that includes national television spots that will air on Golf Channel and in select markets coast to coast where PGA TOUR Superstore has locations. In addition, content from this Father's Day tribute will be posted on PGATOUR.COM. Troy Merritt and Aaron Baddeley, for instance, talk about their dads with heartfelt emotion.
Merritt said of his dad, "I inherited your soft heart and I know that if you had to talk about your father you would be tearing up as well, and it's one of the many qualities I appreciate that you have passed on to me."
Aaron Baddeley added, "If I could be half the dad and half the husband you were, I would be winning."
In addition to five TV spots, PGA TOUR Superstore will release at least one PGA TOUR player video every day through Father's Day – in a unique approach to showing a side of PGA TOUR players that golf fans rarely see. In addition to the more than 20 player videos, each player also recorded a separate video of his top Father's Day golf gift recommendations, which will also be released in the lead up to Father's Day.
"This campaign not only helps people find the best golf gifts for Father's Day, it also portrays the human side of our game's best players. It's inspiring and sentimental and you get to see a side of Sergio, Jordan, and others you don't often get to see," said PGA TOUR President and CEO Dick Sullivan. "Fans want to be connected and engaged with their favorite athletes. Father's Day is all about the connection between fathers and their kids, and most golfers, including the world's best that we have assembled, learned the sport from their dad."

We are constantly looking for new technologies and systems for streamlining design processes and improving manufacturing efficiency and quality. Recently we have implemented new video conferencing technology in conjunction with mobile video sources, like the Apple iPad 2, which makes it possible to involve our entire team from the beginning of a project. Our design team is now able to join our on-site technicians for virtual site walk-throughs and surveys to ensure accurate field dimensions and solutions, which ultimately create the exactly right look for the customer within their location. One of the many benefits of this technology is that our team can be at multiple locations worldwide in the same day, creating design solutions that result in the perfect atmosphere for each venue. Below are a few pictures from a recent video conference with a tech on-site, thousands of miles away.

Executive summary: 2015 global CIO survey Creating legacy
CIOs deliver value to their organization by adopting one of three behavior patterns: trusted operator, change instigator, or business co-creator.
Welcome to Deloitte's 2015 global CIO survey: Creating legacy. Our goal in conducting this research is to start an ongoing dialogue among CIOs about the attributes, skills, and competencies that define their role—and ultimately determine their success. We surveyed and conducted in-depth interviews with more than 1,200 technology leaders across 43 countries. More than a hundred of the US Fortune 500 and over a quarter of the Global Fortune 1000 companies are represented in this year's research.

Despite our initial hypothesis, we found no significant differences across industries, geographies, and company size in how CIOs delivered value. That said, our analysis did yield important insights about how CIOs operate within the leadership ecosystems of the organizations they serve. We learned that CIOs are laser-focused on understanding how they're creating impact and value today—and where their value proposition is headed in the future.
Four elements shape CIO legacy
Based on our experience with executive transitions, we identified four elements that shape the CIO legacy: business priorities, leadership and talent, relationships, and investment priorities.
- Business priorities: CIOs around the globe were nearly unanimous in identifying the top five business priorities:
- Performance
- Cost
- Customers
- Innovation
- Growth
These top priorities were consistent across industry, geography, and size of organization. One understandable exception: Only CIOs involved in the public sector selected "cybersecurity" over "growth" as a top business priority.
- Leadership and talent: Out of the 12 leadership capabilities, CIOs overwhelmingly picked six as the most important for success in their role:
- Influence with internal stakeholders
- Communication skills
- Understanding strategic business priorities
- Talent management
- Technology vision and leadership
- Ability to lead complex, fast-changing environments
Ninety-one percent of CIOs in our global survey acknowledged lacking at least one key skill. Three skills with the largest gaps were the ability to influence internal stakeholders, talent management, and technology vision and leadership.
- Relationships: Not surprisingly, CIOs identified CEOs, CFOs, business unit leaders, and COOs as their most important relationships. A majority of CIOs claim to have excellent or very good relationships with these four business stakeholders, but outside of this group, there is a long tail of relationships that need more attention. For example, only a third report strong relationships with sales and marketing executives. CIOs need to be careful not to neglect other stakeholders.
- Technology investments: When asked which technologies will have significant impact on the business within two years, CIOs aptly named analytics, business intelligence, and digital. The definition, scope, and specific technology investments for each of these technology initiatives varied significantly from organization to organization.
Three patterns fulfill CIO legacy
As we explored the survey data more deeply, we uncovered three distinct patterns that describe how CIOs are delivering value today—and how they are preparing for what comes next. CIOs in each pattern have distinct business priorities, leadership competencies, relationships, and technology investments that define their pattern. The three patterns are:
Trusted operators deliver operational discipline within their organizations by focusing on cost, operational efficiency, and performance reliability. They also provide enabling technologies, support business transformation efforts, and align to business strategy.
Change instigators take the lead on technology-enabled business transformation and change initiatives. They allocate significant time to supporting business strategy and delivering emerging technologies.
Business co-creators spend most of their time on driving business strategy and enabling change within their businesses to see that there is effective execution of the strategy.
Business needs dictate the CIO pattern
One CIO legacy pattern is not better than the others. What matters is choosing the pattern that matches the business need. As the business needs and personal competencies evolve, CIOs may need to shift patterns. In fact, leading CIOs consciously move from one pattern to the other based on their time and place; they develop, hire, or rent talent to fill any gaps in complementary skills needed to succeed and add business value. As CIOs find themselves in different situations, they have to take on the appropriate pattern to fulfill the expectations of their stakeholders.
- When a CIO needs to be trusted operator: Organizations facing foundational issues related to reliability and performance need trusted operators at the helm; the same is true during cycles of cost reduction. When a company must stabilize its core business or shrink IT budgets, a trusted operator tends to be the right profile for the job.
- When a CIO needs to be change instigator: When times demand clear vision, tough calls, and quick adjustments, you'll need to sharpen your change-instigator capabilities. That means stepping up when there is an organizational mandate for growth and an appetite for change. The job goes well beyond technology and business processes. It's also about cultural change.
- When a CIO needs to be business co-creator: When companies are growing quickly, their organization likely needs a business co-creator in the CIO role. When business acumen, stakeholder buy-in, and a long-term view of technology investments are paramount, there is no substitute for a solid CIO co-creator. This role is often one that is earned over time—and is rarely handed out to new CIOs. Sometimes a change in reporting relationships can send a signal to the rest of the organization that a new kind of leadership is expected.
Personal passions inspire lasting legacies
During the research phase, we had the privilege of conducting detailed interviews with CIOs who lead some of the world's most successful IT organizations. Four significant themes around personal passions and motivations emerged from those discussions.
Making IT matter. These CIOs were exemplary champions for IT, with a strong desire for their companies to understand and appreciate the contribution IT can make. They also described their passion for developing and engaging their people—and for making work fun and exciting.
Helping people to be more effective in both work and life. A good percentage of CIOs see their key contribution as one of enablement. They want to use technology to help their people become more effective in their jobs, make better decisions, and lead happier, more fulfilling lives.
Achieving business leadership beyond CIO. Some CIOs have aspirations for broader leadership, especially as their companies come to recognize how technology can drive competitive advantage. They have the respect of other business leaders—and they have the desire to transform their businesses.
Giving back. For a few CIOs, the idea of legacy has a very personal dimension. They want to use their position as a platform to give back to their communities and companies; they spend a lot of their personal time mentoring and developing business leaders.
Whether through intention or happenstance, every CIO is creating a legacy of one kind or another. How your legacy gets defined is largely—but not exclusively—up to you. The circumstances in which you find yourself operating have a big influence on what you need to accomplish today—and what you should prepare for in the future.
We hope you enjoy reading the full report, and we look forward to continuing this dialogue as we explore how CIOs can adapt to meet the dynamic requirements of their roles—and build a lasting legacy.

Beware of Bolsheviks!
by Dwayne A. Day
|But when assessing propaganda, it is important to separate effectiveness from quality.
Recently, while going through the archives of the Glenn L. Martin Company, I came across a bit of sloppy—and I presume ineffective—propaganda. The Glenn L. Martin Company had a long history. It built the B-26 Marauder bomber during World War II and by the 1960s was building missiles and rockets. By the mid-1960s one of its major projects was building the upper stage, known as the Transtage, for the Titan space launch vehicle. Inevitably, mergers happened and the company became Martin Marietta, then eventually Lockheed Martin. Like many major American aerospace companies, the leadership had little sense of their own corporation's history and thus relatively few records remain of Martin's proud aerospace heritage.
The bit of propaganda that I found was a brochure produced by Martin's presentations department around the mid-1960s. It is folded down the middle and each page is only about five inches on a side. The cover is a dark blue with the words "Saboteur At Work" in bold letters with a ghostly image of a face behind them. Inside is a bit of text oddly interrupted by eyeballs, and the silhouette of a man.
The text is obscure and, well, puzzling:
He carries no weapons, no munitions, not even a crow bar—he doesn't need any… he lets us do his dirty work. This saboteur is the spirit of those enemies who hold that Americans are soft—that our private lives are full of countless luxuries and waste… that we waste money, time, and effort on the job—even when that job is national defense. In World War II, American industry succeeded because it was lean, trim, and combat ready, fixed on a single objective—total victory. But what about now? Have sixteen years of cold war frozen American ingenuity and purpose? This saboteur thinks so… he says "Americans do some things out of sheer habit, never questioning the expense or the value received for that expense." For example, he knows that our missiles and systems have been overdesigned with frills that add nothing to the effectiveness of the weapons system but plenty to the cost. He also knows that we waste man hours, paper work, tools, equipment, and hundreds of other items that drain our much needed defense money. This is economic sabotage and it can devastate our defense. This enemy never competes with the strengths of our nation. He tries to capitalize on our weakness. This is why the saboteur is in the plant… daily… watching and waiting for you and me to help him.
I've now read this thing multiple times and I'm still confused. Are the saboteurs the Martin employees who "waste man hours, paper work, tools, and equipment"? Are the saboteurs the engineers who overdesign missiles and systems "with frills that add nothing to the effectiveness of the weapons system but plenty to the cost"?
Or is the saboteur the person who claims that Americans do these things and none of those claims are actually true?
I don't know. I don't get it. It's a lousy effort at propaganda. It would have been more effective to simply state "if you see somebody stealing tools, report him!"—assuming that the company actually opposed such behavior.
|Are the saboteurs the Martin employees who "waste man hours, paper work, tools, and equipment"? Are the saboteurs the engineers who overdesign missiles and systems "with frills that add nothing to the effectiveness of the weapons system but plenty to the cost"?
But the brochure still intrigues me and for a rather odd reason. My scan was made at high resolution, but still does not do it justice. The ghostly face on the cover of the actual item is so perfectly shaded that it looks almost three dimensional, like a hologram, and I found myself subconsciously moving the page back and forth like you do with a holographic picture.
The picture is of actor George C. Scott, undoubtedly used without his permission.
Scott played General "Buck" Turgidson in one of my favorite movies, Dr. Strangelove. He had many memorable quotes in that movie, but one of my favorites was his plea to the President in favor of nuclear war: "I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Depending on the breaks."
Is that another subconscious message in the brochure: Beware of crazed Air Force Generals? Maybe that's not what Martin's presentations department meant.

My crock-pot is my new best friend. We always seem to become reacquainted when the weather gets chilly again and football season is in full swing. On the days when I use my crock-pot for dinner, there is such a weight lifted off of me as I'm driving home from work, knowing that dinner is already ready! It's so wonderful, it always makes me wondering why I don't do ALL of my cooking in the crockpot! I like making big batches and freezing individual servings for easy lunches. Not only is the crock-pot super convenient for dinners, it's always a handy dandy tool for cooking for tailgates or events.
Today I'm going to share with you one of my all time favorite crock-pot recipes, "Island Inspired Meatballs". I'm headed to Hawaii this week (woohoo!) so I've had a bit of a tropical bug lately in the kitchen. While this has bright, island-inspired flavors, meatballs are such a comfort food that what is created is a delicious, easy meal (or tailgating side dish) for any time of the year.
Island Inspired Meatballs
1 bag (28 oz) frozen meatballs. (Turkey meatballs would be the healthiest option!)
1 large can of pineapples in 100% juice drained (save the juice)
2 cups chopped, assorted bell peppers (use frozen in a pinch)
1 small red onion chopped
About 1 cup pineapple juice (whatever you drain)
1 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp ginger
Salt and Pepper
1 tbsp starch (corn, tapioca or potato)
1. Dump the meatballs, drained pineapple, peppers and onion into the crockpot.
2. Mix all of the liquid ingredients and spices in a small bowl. Once they are incorporated, whisk in the starch.
3. Pour your liquid mix over the meatballs.
4. Cook on low for 5-7 hours. You could do less probably, as the frozen meatballs are pre-cooked. And I've never had a problem leaving them on low all day while I'm at work (9+ hrs).
5. Serve over brown rice, quinoa or rice noodles. Or with toothpicks out of the back of your tailgate!
Serves 10 (4-5 meatballs each) 176 calories, 13 grams carbs, 9 grams fat, 12 grams protein 3 grams fiber, 4 grams sugar
Not only are these meatballs one of my favorites, it's the one dish my coaching hubby asks for regularly! He has a few jars of brown rice and meatballs ready in the freezer for lunches next week while I'm out of town!
I always have a good reason for the ingredients I use in my recipes. Sometimes just because it tastes dang good!
Meatballs - a great source of protein, turkey version is leaner
Pineapples & juice - some fruit and gives natural sweetness and a tropical flair
Peppers & onions - for flavor, veggies and color! The more variety the better! You could even add hotter peppers if you want some kick!
Soy sauce - gives a tropical/Asian twist. Look for low sodium, and use a gluten free version if needed.
Ginger - great healing properties and one of my favorite spices!
Starch - to thicken the sauce. It helps if your liquid ingredients are all chilled before mixing.
what about you?
Have you ever used a crockpot for a tailgate dish?
Have you ever been to Hawaii? What's your favorite tropical food? I can't wait to eat fresh mangoes!

|Kale is often referred to by nutritionists and dieticians as a superfood. Who can argue? One cup of kale yields 133% of the daily recommended value of Vitamin A and 134% of Vitamin C. Kale has become a foundation vegetable for a lot of juicing recipes, which is a very hot topic right now, and now comes in a lot of salad mixes you'll see on your supermarket shelves.
However, kale is easy to grow at home. Here are some tips so you can enjoy this superfood right from your very own backyard.
When Do You Plant KaleKale is a great vegetable to grow in the home garden because it adapts very well to a lot of different climates. In my zone, here in zone 7a, I can grow kale throughout the winter in cold frames, and outside during the summer so long as I have well established plants that acclimate slowly to the rising temperatures. For me, that would be starting some kale seeds indoors around March, moving them outdoors in April and protecting the kale plants only on nights where there is going to be frost. In the accompanying video, the Premier kale was handled in this fashion, whereas the Tuscany Black kale was started from seed directly in the ground. More on that in a moment.
Preparing Your Soil for Your KaleI wouldn't classify kale as being a nutrient hog like other vegetables, but your kale will grow a lot healthier if you condition your soil before you plant. I like to mix in plenty of compost with my soil before planting the kale. This helps ensure that there are plenty of nutrients for my kale plants to grow and thrive. You can buy compost at your local garden center if you currently do not make any of your own. You can also mix in a good organic fertilizer such as fish emulsion.
Planting Your KaleAs noted above I used two methods for my kale this year. The first was moving the plants I started indoors, the Premier kale, to the outdoors, and direct seeding, Tuscany Black kale, which is planting the kale seeds directly into the garden bed.
Moving Established Kale PlantsBecause kale tolerates cooler temperatures very well, I have found that they harden off (acclimate) rather easily. Once my kale plants are a few inches tall, I will move them outdoors during the day and bring them back in at night. I will do this for about a week, then plant them into the garden bed. If there is a possibility of frost, I will protect them with a garden cloche while they are still a bit smaller. Once they get about 4 to 6 inches tall, I have found that is no longer necessary.
Direct Seeding Your KaleAnother fantastic way to grow kale is starting it from seed right in your garden bed. I am pretty fortunate here in zone 7a as I can do both methods. You simply plant the seeds in the desired spot and let mother nature do the rest. Just be sure to give your new seeds a good watering.
Spacing Your Kale PlantsAs you can see in the video, my kale plants are spaced out about ten inches. You can go as little as 8, but I had plenty of space to work with so I decided to give them more. This spacing is true for both planting methods mentioned above.

Caring for Your Kale PlantsKale is easy to take care of. A light watering about once per week is all it will need. Then, every 3 to 4 weeks, give your kale another feeding by applying more compost around the base of your plants or spraying in some organic fertilizer.
Harvesting Your KaleThis is my favorite part, the time to harvest the kale and eat it. I like to snip off kale leaves as I am ready to consume them leaving the plants in tact so they continue to grow and produce. Some gardeners like to harvest the whole plant, and that is fine, but I like to only harvest what I know I will consume.
Happy gardening!

You'll need global variables to store the pointers. See Nick.s response What I'll need to play with is to see how I can set this up as a configuration parameter.

The child hooks I think are the issue when dealing with the various MPMs, but it might not be a problem anymore since I can just use the pool passed into child_init as the store for my lock and cache. Is the same pool passed in child_init accessible in the request handler via request->server->process->pool ? I see a lot of modules using these static variables and globals all over - is this safe? Aren't the modules existing in multiple process spaces? How does the author know which static variables are going to be safe to access in each hook? I guess any statics assigned in the child_init are safe to use in the request handlers and other threads spawned in the child_init. And for the parent process it's probably best to just use the pool? >> [alin vasile] You can't init static variables in child_init. don't declare them static and, if needed, protect their read/write with locks Thanks, SB On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 1:41 AM, alin vasile <email@example.com>wrote: > It depends what you want to do in this hook. > > --- On Sun, 4/18/10, Some Guy <firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: > > From: Some Guy <email@example.com> > Subject: Re: Process lifetime and hooks to use > To: email@example.com > Date: Sunday, April 18, 2010, 5:51 PM > > Ah great.

Ericsson claims first 0.5Gbps data rate over VDSL2
Ericsson claims to have performed the first live demonstration of a VDSL2-based broadband technology achieving data transfer rates of more than 0.5Gbps over twisted copper pairs using the technology for line bonding and crosstalk cancellation for DSL, known also as 'vectorised' VDSL2.
Achieving 0.5Gbps speeds over existing copper lines open-up new opportunities for operators to provide customers with broadband services such as IPTV, Ericsson says; the new technology also makes possible use of existing copper networks as a backhaul for radio base stations, accelerating future rollout of HSPA and LTE-based high-speed mobile broadband services.
Crosstalk cancellation enables very high end-to-end transmission rates, improving VDSL2 performance by reducing noise originating from the other copper pairs in the same cable bundle. This increases capacity and reach, boosting the number of customers that can be connected. Vectoring technology also decouples the lines in a cable (from an interference point of view), substantially improving power management, which can reduce power consumption.
Line bonding means bundling several lines into one and assumes that several copper lines are available at the site, which is typically the case. The demonstration showed aggregated rates of above 0.5Gbps at 500m, bonding six lines. Standards for VDSL2 and line bonding are available, while the standardisation of Vectoring is ongoing, expected by the end of 2009.

anyone else's PB dropping wi-fi connection?
- just wondering if anyone else is having problems with the wi-fi connection dropping on a regular basis? don't think it's my router or anything like that because my husband has his iPad connected to our wi-fi and his device rarely drops the connection so just wondering what you think it could be? highly annoying as I continuously have to go into my wi-fi area and click on "saved networks" and then reestablish the connection
thanks05-01-11 08:55 AM
- I got my PB three days ago and have noticed as of yesterday my PB will sometimes work on my home wifi network and sometimes (like now) wont work. It says it is connected but won't connect to it. Big pain in my ****!!
Last edited by aspenedelen; 05-01-11 at 09:28 AM. Reason: grammar05-01-11 09:01 AM
- There are a couple other threads about this, search for them and there are some setting suggested for fixes. I tried a bunch but in the end swapped mine and no issues since. Gone thru 3 airports, 2 hotels and multiple places without issue.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com05-01-11 09:17 AM
- I work in IT so I was asked at work to buy and test one, and so far I've had nothing but trouble with this unit. Both WiFi and Bluetooth dont work as they should
I have an SMC Gigabit Router/Switch from Rogers Cable my internet provider.
Before Anyone says its my router. I connect my BlackBerry Bold 9000, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, IBM Thinkpad Laptop, HP EliteBook Laptop, XBox 360, USB Based Wifi, just to name a few. I even had a guest over with their iPad and iPhone 4 connecting my network via WiFi.
So I think I have a dud. Connection on WiFi keeps dropping, and the signal strength never goes above the bottom 2 bars, even if I'm close to the wifi router.

- No problems with mine - works as expected.05-01-11 09:41 AM
- See the thread on hand interference from the way it's held05-01-11 11:34 AM
- No issues here with wi-fi 64g model05-01-11 12:37 PM
- I had issues also. I thought I had solved the problem after spending hours on the phone with BB and with my Netgear people. Changed all the settings on router, it seemed to work for a little while...then same issue.
Yesterday I went to Best Buy and returned it for another Playbook. No issues so far, except finding my way though the Blackberry ID process, and trying to change to the new tablet.
Seems good so far today. The people at the store know even less about this item than most of us, so they are absolutely no help. Yesterday, the lady at the mobile desk said...it is working now. She didn't even have it connected to the WiFi, just that the tablet saw the connection. Then, she just said "no one has had any issues", so then I knew she didn't know what she was talking about. She did ask me if I had charged it, and I almost lost it then. I had just finished telling her I have had it since the day the tablet was released.
I am loving this thing, only issue now is waiting for my carrier to "approve" it, so the bridge/tether browser is not usable at this time.05-01-11 12:52 PM
- Once in a while this happens to me too. I have a strong wifi signal, but when surfing it just stops. My fix so far is to re-start the Playbook from the software button. Pain in the ***, hope updates fix this.05-01-11 01:20 PM
- Hate to dig up an old conversation, but I had to say that sometimes it's the wifi device itself; whenever the wifi conked out on my Playbook, it also conked out on my mom's iPod. We'd reset the wifi connection via desktop computer & both devices would simultaneously regain their wifi connections.01-09-13 12:00 AM
- I also noticed this for a few days after the latest OS update, but since then no problems unless a very weak wifi signal.01-10-13 03:04 AM
- I have seen a lot of threads about WiFi issues recently. I have a pretty simple theory about WiFi and the PlayBook. Well... any WiFi connected device. If you are in one place constantly, you will notice that your internet connection will keep strong most of the time. Whereas if you move around a lot, it won't stay strong. It'll act a bit strange. On, off, on off, etc. Because It's like with wire (like an ethernet cable for stand-still devices), it will always give you the signal because it always has a direct way to give you that signal: it knows where to go. Now with wifi, it has to travel through air, hoping to find a reciever with it's code - the WPA/WPA2. It doesn't know where to go, so it'll just be all over the place until it finds your device. When it finds your device, it maintains a, if you will, invisible wire of signal. Like your ethernet, but inexistant. And it knows where it is going. You move and it doesn't neccasarily move with you, it will do most times, but sometimes it looses your device, and starts searching again, and when you stop, this'll all start over again until you move.... possibly.
It's a bit of a messy theory, but I believe this is how it works.01-10-13 12:56 PM
- Sometimes my PB will not detect the wifi signal even though my Son is connected through the PS3 and my daughter on her Samsung tab 7 I turn off and on the wifi connection, restart my PB but no luck, I have to reset the router then it will connect...its a pain but it's the only way to connect, doesn't happen frequently, only like once a week and I use it every single day.01-12-13 05:19 PM
- Happens to my PB on a regular basis. Drops connection. Have to go into Wifi settings and manually connect, which it does within seconds. Never had a problem with any other. Wii, PS3, Xbox, laptop, my 9780, wifes Galaxy Ace and annoyingly Nexus 7 have never lost their connection. Is there any apps that can monitor wifi signal?
Malcolm01-18-13 11:30 AM
- It is caused by Router settings that the PlayBook does not like, even though all other devices have no problems. Set your router for WPA OR WPA2. For encryption select AES/PSK. On the PlayBook go into the Wifi settings and set them the same. If you have a dual band router, set the PlayBook to run on the 5.0 Ghz band with other devices on 2.5 Ghz. You can also set the PlayBook to run on 802.11n with WPA OR WPA2. And AES/PSK.01-18-13 12:10 PM

Malcolm01-20-13 04:56 AM
- There's a whole bunch of threads on PB dropping WiFi... and most of the solutions tend to boil down to update the router firmware, or get a more recent router.
Some routers implement a draft N standard, and (anecdotally) the PB seems to be particularly sensitive to non-official N routers compared with other tech. There's little mileage in playing the blame game, and the long term solution appears to be to upgrade the router.
If, like me you have an elderly "G" router and don't want to update to "N", a quick and dirty fix that worked for me was to go into the WiFi setting on the PB and turn off Dual Band (select 2.4GHz). With that single change, my previously intermittent connection became solid.

Loaded editor Scott Manson, who once projected a giant image of model
Kelly Brook onto the side of MI5 headquarters, will take the helm at
British Airways magazine High Life.
The 34-year-old, who left
Loaded in August 2003 and is currently working as a consultant at
contract publisher Square One, has been hired to take the magazine "to
the next level".
Former editor Alex Finer left the mag in July
last year, apparently over professional differences about the direction
of the title.
Manson told Press Gazette that the days of "making
a berk" of himself with Loaded-style stunts were over, but prom-ised
that some of the lad mag's "style and paciness" would be apparent in
future issues of High Life.
He added: "What I'm doing with High Life is somewhere between a tweak and an overhaul.
"It is already an incredibly good mag, I just want to make it a bit more modern, a bit more useful, just update it a bit.
"There'll be more getting stuck in.
example, if a High Life reporter is in India and sees a load of
elephants going up a country road, I'd rather he was on the back of
those elephants."
Mark Jones, editorial director at High Life
publisher Cedar, said: "Scott is a real grown-up in the magazine world
– but he's still got plenty of cheek and energy. That's important to
us."We want High Life to be a world away from the bland reading
material that's served up by some airlines."
Manson, who was also editor of dance mag Ministry, will be only the fourth editor in 32 years at High Life.
at Square One he worked on Gala Casino's Player magazine among other
projects, which he said gave him the opportunity to hone his poker game.
Andrena Pullen, British Airways'
publishing manager, said "We were hugely impressed by Scott's enthusiasm.
"We're excited he's joining and we're looking forward to taking High Life to the next level."
High Life is distributed free to nearly 200,000 British Airways passengers.

Cryo Electron Tomography
I joined the Taylor lab in the middle of 2006. I am working on 3D reconstruction of Insect Flight Muscle (IFM) by electron tomography and following image processing. The high degree order of the IFM makes it an ideal specimen for studying the structure of crossbridges in different states. After acquiring the tilt series on the electron microscopy, the tilt series were repeatedly aligned by cross correlation with a reference calculated from the back projection of the last cycle alignment. And then the crossbridge motifs were extracted from the inverse-Fourier-transformed final map. The motifs were aligned against reference(s) and finally classified by hierarchical ascendant methods.
At the same time, I am working on the cryo-electron tomography of thin margins of cells and isolated cell assemblies.
Please keep tuned for future update with the research progress.
