Watch your head!
The Washington Post reports that the Department of Defense is funding research into a special snake in Asia that can slither through the air. By letting itself drop from a tall tree to pick up speed, flattening its body into twice its normal width and curving to catch the air, undulating as it goes, it can turn it's thin body into essentially a giant wing that will take it to a landing spot up to 780 feet away. It can flip over, a technique that is not yet fully understood, and even beats out the flying squirrel in gliding skill.
The snakes, who live in Southeast Asia, India and southern China, are between two and three feet long with a body the width of a finger. They are slightly venomous, but are harmless to humans. According to National Geographic, the chrysopelea--as it is scientifically known--is abundant and has no special conservation status.
John Socha, the Virginia Tech researcher who has traveled Asia filming the snakes, had his most recent paper funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, who he says is interested in the dynamics of the unusual snake.

The role of cardiac CT in women
Published in: J Nucl Cardiol. 2016 Oct;23(5):1016-22
Authors: Kuo S, Chinnaiyan KM
Due to the discrepancy between higher symptom burden and lower disease prevalence, the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) in women is challenging. Cardiac CT can be particularly useful in CAD diagnosis and risk stratification in women. In this review, we explore cardiac CT in women with and without symptoms and for adjudication of functional tests. Novel CT technologies such as fractional flow reserve and stress perfusion imaging and their potential for usefulness in women are also examined.

Is the FBI Setting the Stage for Increased Surveillance of Black Activists?
& Hugh Handeyside, Senior Staff Attorney, ACLU National Security Project
& Malkia Cyril, Executive Director, Center for Media Justice
A recently leaked FBI "Intelligence Assessment" contains troubling signs that the FBI is scrutinizing and possibly surveilling Black activists in its search for potential "extremists."
The report, which the FBI's Counterterrorism Division prepared, identifies what it calls "Black Identity Extremists" as security threats. Their "perceptions of police brutality against African Americans … will very likely serve as justification" for violence against law enforcement officers, the report claims. Today, the ACLU filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Center for Media Justice seeking other records regarding the FBI's surveillance of Black people on the basis of a supposed shared ideology, including records using the term "Black Identity Extremists."
The report is disturbing on several levels, starting with the label "Black Identity Extremist." Its definition of the term is so confusing as to be unintelligible:
"The FBI defines black identity extremists as individuals who seek, wholly or in part, through unlawful acts of force or violence, in response to perceived racism and injustice in American society and some do so in furtherance of establishing a separate black homeland or autonomous black social institutions, communities, or governing organizations within the United States."
What seems to be a made-up term raises concerns that the FBI created the designation to enhance government scrutiny of Black activists, including people involved in Black Lives Matter, which some wrongly blame for incidents of violence and label a hate group. By focusing on ideology and viewpoint in defining what constitutes a so-called "Black Identity Extremist," the FBI is spending valuable resources to target those who object to racism and injustice in America.
The report is also flawed in its conclusions and methodology. Any violence against law enforcement officers is unacceptable, but the FBI's focus on supposed "Black Identity Extremists" appears misplaced. Studies show that attacks against police officers are extremely rare and that white men carry out the overwhelming majority of those attacks.
In addition to missing that context, the report offers no evidence to support its assessment that "Black Identity Extremists" are a threat because they supposedly share a violent ideology. Instead, the FBI's conclusion is premised on a description of six separate violent incidents and the "key assumption" that those incidents were ideologically motivated. In other words, the report appears to assume its own core conclusion. The report even contradicts itself by acknowledging that the six incidents appear to have been "influenced by more than one ideological perspective."
The report is yet another indication that the FBI thinks it can identify security threats by scrutinizing people's beliefs and speech. In making its assessment, the FBI relied on individuals' use of social media, including who they associated with, what search terms they used, and what content they liked. But there's nothing wrong with having radical or "extreme" ideas, and evidence shows that the overwhelming majority of people who hold radical beliefs do not engage in or support violence.
The danger, of course, is that Black activists now have even more reason to be concerned that the law enforcement will surveil and take action against them for engaging in constitutionally protected speech. In an interview with the Guardian, one BLM activist said the "Black Identity Extremist" classification would "criminalize anyone who is already in the movement." This is a concern that even an international human rights expert from the U.N. expressed when reporting on the chilling effects of police practices against protesters. Such targeting of Black activists also throws open the door to racial profiling.
The FBI's history gives Black activists plenty of cause for concern. In the 1960s, the FBI conducted extensive surveillance of those it deemed "Black Extremists" and "Black Nationalists" under the covert COINTELPRO program. The FBI has been "mapping" racial and ethnic communities in the United States, including the Black population in Georgia, based on crude and false stereotypes about particular communities' propensity to commit certain crimes. That mapping included scrutiny of protests against police killings.
And FBI domestic terrorism training presentations conflate examples of armed resistance, or armed self-defense, by older organizations like the Black Panthers and the Black Liberation Army with beliefs expressed by various modern groups to suggest, without evidence, that these latter-day groups pose a similar threat. More recently, Department of Homeland Security records from 2014 and 2015 show that government officials trolled social media accounts to map and collect information on Black Lives Matter protests and supposedly related events.
The FBI's recent "Intelligence Assessment" is yet another example of using "domestic terror" and "extremism" as a smokescreen for silencing constitutionally protected speech and unfairly targeting civil rights activists through surveillance. By conjuring this category of "Black Identity Extremists," the FBI dangerously equates domestic extremist movements that are actually on the rise, like white supremacists, with one that looks near nonexistent.
The public needs to know more about the FBI's activities related to what it calls "Black Identity Extremism." Obtaining the agency's records on these activities is one step toward protecting the free speech and privacy rights of Black activists.

It's because the white justice department and FBI fear minorities becoming the majority in the department. Then they will investigate the Nazi groups, the klan groups, and other white hate groups finally.
Jeffery Sessions and his nigger killin grandpappy are so afraid of blacks and Mexicans they would rather kill them then listen to rap music while on hold.

SO one-sided. Has anybody thought to pull the GO IS on the White Supremacist groups? I'd be willing to bet that there's terminology in there that doesn't "mesh" with society. But, we'll never know because those that can do this have an agenda and will only delve into that which proves their agenda: a self-fulfilling prophesy.

"The FBI defines black identity extremists as individuals who seek, wholly or in part, through unlawful acts of force or violence, in response to perceived racism and injustice in American society and some do so in furtherance of establishing a separate black homeland or autonomous black social institutions, communities, or governing organizations within the United States." - It definitely seems like Black identity extremists as people who wish to take Black identity to the point where they wish to make their own country within the boundaries of the United States.

In the short time that the Bass has established itself in the public eye, it has evolved to meet the requirements of the players who rely on it and has gone even further than that, providing more options that most players will ever need.
With the ever-increasing role of the bass in music today, more and more gear has become available for the player to make their mark with.
Things like Straps and Cables have even come a long way. From their beginnings as simple and rather crappy add-ons for the Bass, they have become separate business unto themselves, allowing the player the freedom to look and sound exactly as they want to.
What about the good old fashioned Case? How much has it changed?
From just providing protection from the elements to built-in Amps and mobile multimedia centers (Seriously. Built-in amps), the Case has come a very long way.
What about the Ramp, you ask? If you aren't sure what the Ramp is or you do know what it is and want to know more, you should take a look at my page on it.
Tuners? What makes the Tuner so special?
Do you know how many different kinds of Tuners there are and the range of Tuners that are available? You know why you need one, right?

Brown-eyed soul is a subgenre of soul music or rhythm and blues created and performed in the United States mainly by Latinos in Southern California during the 1960s, continuing through to the early 1980s.[1][2] The genre of soul music occasionally draws from Latin, and often contains rock music influences.[1] This contrasts with blue-eyed soul, soul music performed by non-Hispanic white artists.[3]

Brown-eyed soul emerged from the 1950s simultaneously on the East Coast United States, in the Hispanic communities, and on the West Coast, in the much larger Hispanic communities. Chicago soul and Motown hits were crowd favorites at dances and clubs during the late 1950s and early 1960s. Latino artists began to draw inspiration from the Motown hits, and as a result, brown-eyed soul began sounding very similar to Black soul. Early brown-eyed soul artists owed little to traditional Latin and rarely performed in Spanish.[2]
Ritchie Valens, one of the original pioneers of brown-eyed soul music, also became one of the first brown-eyed soul artists to bring traditional Latin music and rock and roll influences into the genre. Latino groups on the East and West Coast also drew from the funk-influenced Philadelphia soul, or "Philly" soul. The West Coast Latin rock scene continued to influence brown-eyed soul artists as well.
Inspired by Ritchie Valens, 1960s and 1970s bands such as Cannibal & the Headhunters ("Land of a Thousand Dances") and Thee Midniters played brown-eyed R&B music with a rebellious rock and roll edge. Many of these artists drew from the frat rock and garage rock scenes. However, the large Hispanic population on the West Coast began gradually moving away from energetic R&B to romantic soul, and the results were "some of the sweetest soul music heard during the late '60s and '70s."[1]

In 1859, a young chemist from Brooklyn, Robert Augustus Chesebrough, went to view an oil well in Titusville, Pennsylvania, United States to see what commercial potential this newly discovered petroleum had. There he discovered "rod wax" (as the drillers called it) – a gooey substance that was causing problems with the rig equipment, but appeared to aid the healing of cuts and burns on the oil workers' skin. Recognising its potential, he took some rod wax home to test. Eventually, he extracted usable petroleum jelly by refining the finer, lighter oil products out of the rod wax.
In 1870, Robert was marketing "Vaseline" and within ten years almost every home in America had a jar.
Originally promoted as an ointment for cuts, burns and scrapes, subsequent studies have shown that Vaseline has no medicinal effect. Its real effectiveness lies in sealing wounds, thereby keeping germs out and the area supple by preventing moisture loss (it's not absorbed by the skin).
Vaseline was originally a bright canary yellow, giving rise to glass of the same lime-yellow colour being called "Vaseline glass". Today it's a pale yellow and is casually smeared over the chapped lips of millions of teens and adults alike, and probably a few nether regions too!

Non-stop operations
Vector Maintenance Manager is a modular system that manages planned maintenance, defect monitoring, repairs, work specification, dry-docking and follow-up. It is designed to meet the needs of modern marine engineers, superintendents and naval architects in controlling the requirements of both business and legislation.
Features & Modules
Detailed Ship Model
- The system has a detailed modelling tool for Equipment, Hull and Vessel definition, allowing all necessary information, extracted from books, instruction manuals and drawings of different component manufacturers and yards to be presented in a uniform method. In addition the Vector Maintenance Manager allows the definition and use of multilevel "system codes" and "work types" to be defined and used for fast deployment and cross referencing.
Planned Maintenance
- Work is planned at equipment, system or vessel level by calendar periods and/or running hours. The job definition includes a task breakdown with instruction, (which may include scanned documents), essential spares and required skills/resources to carry out the work. The system takes into account work jobs, which are combined and includes rules for jobs superseded by other work.
- Machinery/Equipment-specific wear and tear report forms recording data that can be used in trend analysis
- Automated job schedule preparation, based on running hours data, taking into account shifts in machinery utilisation.
- Ship and office work re-scheduling (e.g. to dry dock). Ship and office materials planning: personnel can review the forthcoming work schedule and order required spare parts and supplies that are out of stock, thus lowering spares and inventory costs.
- Ship-based reporting that allows detailed reporting of the work done, spares used, updates the historical records and reschedules the work according the date last done.
- The system also records usage of spare assemblies such as pistons, utilizing clocks of those components (frozen while at stock) and tracking both the replaced and utilized items.
- Extensive reporting tools (both static and dynamic).
Defect Management & Repair Specification
- Office and shipboard registration of defects, with detailed classification on the coding of the defect, its origin, its connection to non conformities, vetting inspection observations and class conditions or class recommendations. The system records spares and supplies required, landing status of the defective component, as well as photographic logs
- Registered defective items are recorded as distinct cases and the workflow mechanism allows for an evaluation of the defect severity, and planning of corrective actions through the Repair Specification and drydock modules
- Office-based review of the defects and maintenance jobs that need to be performed within a period and to allocate them, to a repair specification
- The detailed task breakdown (including the usage of standard repair jobs and maintenance jobs) with the associated particulars and component history, presents the manager a solid evaluation and decision support system, as well as producing a comprehensive set of specifications which can be used for quotations.
- Further optional modules include quotation inquiry, manual and web-based automated quotation input, comparison and ordering, totally integrated with budget control
- Monitors the repair in progress, reporting and authorisation for extras, budget control and invoice reconciliation
- The classification modules allow for consolidation of the certification requirements of different classification societies into a common format, and provides links to the maintenance program. The process is based on shipboard updating of certificates, lowering the office workload and allowing the office to control the current status. The system also links outstanding class recommendations orconditions of class to defects and non-conformities, thus monitoring not only the technical repair aspects but also the ISM requirements.
Vetting & Inspections
- The system provides an open method for modelling various types of inspection reports, building marking schemas per item and setting out weight factors for each of the items. It has embedded OCIMF library (in its latest version) and allows linking the inspection book items to individuals from the Contacts and Business Associates library (conducting the inspections) as well as with identified equipment and actual working inventory (e.g. machinery).
- While the above provides a good basis for analysis, a vetting workflow system undertakes the task of initiating an inspection, conducting pre-inspection, evaluating the weak points and recording the observation of the inspector. It also allows for producing the response documents, while it facilitates the corrective action. Recorded observations can give rise to defects and non-conformities whose corrective action is measured using the Vector Maintenance Manager and ISM Manager modules.
- The system is complemented with a powerful statistical analysis tool in order to monitor the company performance against the requests of the inspectors.
Parameters Monitoring
- The system provides an open way to build parameter reports, to model wear and tear parameters or performance reports (including non reports and port performance reports). These reports can be linked to ISM documentation, to ensure proper revision and shipboard update, and have multiple alerting options including forwarding to UMS.
- Statistical analysis tools allow for trend analysis and graphical representation.

Our Process
Your journey starts with a look at your beliefs about why your child is exhibiting challenging behaviors that are affecting their academic and social lives. If you've been viewing their behavior as attention seeking, manipulative, coercive, unmotivated, or limit testing, we are going to offer you a new pair of lenses.
Here at Club Xcite, we believe that kids do well if they can. In other words, if your child could do well, they would do well. Club Xcite works with children and teens that have lagging skills and unsolved problems. Our Coaching program works with students and parents to solve these problems and teach the necessary skills. Our definition of good parenting, good teaching, and good coaching is being responsive to the hand you've been dealt. We don't treat every student the same and we don't place blame on the student or on the parents. Research in the past 50 years has taught us a lot about behavior and the counterproductive and ineffective strategies that continue to be implemented in our schools and in our homes. To reduce undesired behavior, we will be working together with the child. We will be collaborating; to solve the problems setting them in motion in the first place.
Here are the steps to get started:
So, with your new lenses on – let's prepare for a more accurate and compassionate understanding of your child's behavior so that we may play this hand together.
- Complete Club Xcite's initial intake form.
- Review information with Program Manager, Ambar Collins.
- Schedule your free introductory meet and greet session with a potential coach.
- Complete our Service Agreement.
- Schedule your first session.
- Take a deep breath and enjoy the process!
Our Coaches specialize in two separate areas: Social Skills and Executive Functioning. Often, these two sets of skills are intertwined and our Program Manager will help guide you towards the appropriate Coaching program for your child.
Once you've completed our Initial Intake and met with your potential Coach during our free introductory session, you are ready to complete our Service Agreement and schedule your first session. During the first session, your child's Coach will complete an Assessment of Lagging Skills and Unsolved Problems while engaging both you and your child in a conversation that will help everyone identify specific areas to focus on. The Coach will help you with prioritizing, as there will be many unsolved problems that we wish we could solve! The most important part of the conversation is the involvement of the child. Club Xcite strives to include our student's in every part of the process so that they do not feel their Coaching is something being done to them but rather with them.
Next, everyone will collaborate to begin to address the unsolved problems and review the five skills you identified on the service agreement. The first step will include talking with your child about their perspective on the problem. The Coach will fully understand their concerns and make observations. This is called the Empathy step. Next, your Coach will ask you to describe your concern, we like the concern to be clearly defined. This is called the Problem Definition step. Finally, your Coach will invite both you and your child to brainstorm ideas and explore solutions that are workable and mutually satisfactory. This is called the Invitation step.
During the Invitation step, the Coach will offer their guidance and support into the problem area, as this is where the idea of Coaching and practicing the new skills with your child will take place. The next nine sessions will be spent teaching, practicing, and using the new skills your child has been lagging. Each Coaching session will be 2 hours in length and can be scheduled during the week or weekend.
We are excited at the prospect of supporting you and your child with Social Skills and Executive Functioning Coaching. Our Coaches are fully trained on using Collaborative and Proactive Solutions as well as incorporating a plethora of other strategies and interventions that will be beneficial to your child.
Coaches are also required to attend Supervision sessions with our Program Director at the start and midway through sessions to collaborate for resourcing and support with the process. Coaches are cleared through FBI and DOJ background clearances and undergo DMV clearances if they are scheduled for practice community outings or school pick up.

February 17, 2017 – The New Zealand Defence Force has sent a 55-member contingent and an Air Force P-3K2 Orion surveillance aircraft to the Middle East as part of an international partnership against piracy and people and drug trafficking. The team will help patrol 3.2 million square miles of international water in the Middle East to support the US-led Combined Maritime Forces (CMF) over the next 12 months.
"Through this mission, we will help protect vital trade routes around the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean and demonstrate once again our government's longstanding commitment to global security," Joint Forces New Zealand Commander Major General (MAJGEN) Tim Gall said.
The first rotation of personnel left for the Middle East on February 7, with the Orion following three days later.
The CMF is a 31-nation naval partnership that promotes maritime security and seeks to defeat terrorism and prevent piracy and people and drug trafficking.
Mission Commander Wing Commander (WGCDR) Daniel Hunt said the contingent was looking forward to working with New Zealand's CMF partners to keep the seas safe in the Middle East.
"Everyone is upbeat, and with the world-class skills of our people I am confident we will be able to make a significant contribution," WGCDR Hunt said.
The contingent aimed to represent New Zealand in a positive light and provide a meaningful contribution to security in the Middle East, he said.
"We were valued because of our high mission success rate in 2015 and the unique capabilities of our Orion, so we will be striving to achieve that again."
The last NZDF Orion mission to support the CMF conducted 174 maritime surveillance flights involving about 1400 flying hours over 16 months to December 2015. It also helped the CMF locate and intercept vessels attempting to smuggle drugs worth nearly NZ$500 million.
"Working with other navies and air forces is always a bonus," WGCDR Hunt said. "It allows you to benchmark your performance and provides opportunities to learn from each other. Invariably we measure up pretty well and my expectation is that it will be no different this time.
"The challenges will likely come from operating in a hot and dry environment. Temperature is less of an issue when you are airborne but before and after the flights the heat poses challenges to those working in and around the aircraft."
WGCDR Hunt, the Commanding Officer of the Air Force's No.5 Squadron until early this year, is an experienced hand, having completed three tours in the Middle East. He has also been deployed to Southeast Asia, South Pacific, Europe and the Caribbean.

Gregory Neffinger 2012.jpg
West Springfield Mayor Gregory Neffinger is seen in his office in city hall.
(Mark M. Murray / The Republican file)
WEST SPRINGFIELD - Lobbied by four town councilors, Mayor Gregory C. Neffinger has agreed to amend his proposed fiscal 2014 budget so that the Town Council's clerk will remain its full-time employee.
In his $82.9-million proposed budget, the mayor had called for splitting the time of Town Council clerk Sue Pettazzoni between the council and the Town Clerk's office.
However, after a visit from councilors Bruce L. Gendron, George D. Condon III, George R. Kelly and John R. Sweeney, the mayor agreed to make the change.
Neffinger said Monday that the councilors convinced him there is enough work to keep Pettazzoni busy working full time for the council.
The mayor said the councilors came to visit him in a spirit of cooperation. Neffinger said he has always wanted to work with the Town Council "in a spirit of cooperation."
Sweeney said councilors agreed to try to get the issue of whether the city should buy the old Elks hall on Morgan Street onto Monday night's agenda so it could be referred to the council's budget subcommittee.
Neffinger and Council President Kathleen A. Bourque wrangled during the council's May 6 meeting over whether she would allow the mayor to address the council on the topic. Bourque contended that if he wanted to address the council, Neffinger should have approached it in time to be listed on the council agenda that must be posted 48 hours in advance of a meeting. She said doing otherwise would be a violation of the state's Open Meeting Law.
Neffinger's original proposed budget called for cutting Pettazzoni's council pay from $36,943 a year to $18,749 annually with her making up for the decrease by working half her hours in the Town Clerk's Office. It also called for a $5,000 stipend for attending night meetings. Pettazzoni has been the council's clerk for about eight years. Her responsibilities range from producing the council's agenda to other functions like taking the minutes of its meetings, doing research for it and staffing the council office in the municipal office building.

That's really strange because the Z3 Compact supports up to 128 microSD. I'm glad it's working for you now though.
Welcome to the community.
I will pass your feedback along. If the feature ever does come just be aware that the speed of your device will be severely limited (up to 10X slower in most cases) unless you use a high speed SD card, which most users do not have.
As for the update to your phone, it takes time to roll out. Check out this post about updates.

I don't believe that is a Sony device issue. other on the internet have this issue also have different devices. it could be a Android bug, but very strange as well. I didn't pay attention to this issue when I had Android 5 because the 1st thing I did after I got the card was I loaded all my music, photos and videos. so when I start moving the apps to SD on Android 5. it's was fine because I have less then 32G left on my storage. Since formated the card, it had a full 64G and problem showed up.
Also I do agree with WitchDoc758, it's a feature that should no be remove. We know the read/write speed is much slower then internal flash. but the concept goes far far back where computers have hard drives and we still run programs off floppy drives. The whole idea is to free up some internal storage or for people who does not have a large amount of storage.

Agree with other Sony Xperia Z3 users - PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE do not kill Marshmallow main difference from KitKat and Lollipop, i.e. ability to use SD card as additional storage for applications. My reason to buy Sony was an ability to use SD card for apps. I did not had any problems with latest Lollipop version on my phone and my most likely slow SD card was working perfectly for all apps installed there.
Since upgrade to Marshmallow I have experienced next issues:
1. Some originaly mounted on SD card applications were not accessible. The issue partially "cures" after multiple system reboots, but strange thing happens: not all SD apps are unavailable, just some, and these "some" apps are different from every reboot. For example, CandyCrash would be unavailable once, then it is a turn of CandyCrash Jelly after another reboot.
2. This Saturday evening Play store quit on me showing "Error on Server" message. Couple of reboots did not fix the problem, but Google search suggested to delete cache and data, I did that and Play Store started to work after couple of reboots. However, it lost my setting to opt out from automatic updates for my apps, and, as a result, all my 200 apps received updates before I've noted this. In no time my phone became unstable since updates used only internal memory for all apps, even the ones I've uninstalled before, and it quickly fulfilled 10Gb, leaving no empty space for operational system functionality. Phone reboooted itself several times, nothing was assessible until I've managed to switch it to airplane mode and uninstall some high weight applications. After a few reboots, I was able to manually move just a handful number of applications to SD card (through Settings--> Storage-->Internal Storage -->Apps-->App of your choice, then "move ro SD"), while majority (I suspect the ones which were updated without my consent) are not movable anymore.
3. Now every time I reboot the phone my moved to SD apps are not accessible for a good 3-4 minutes, so it looks like system is having a lag connecting to SD card and indexing everything there.
4. New issue since yesterday - after every reboot of the phone I've got pop up message: "Unfortunately, Media Player for Xperia has stopped". Have no idea where this player is sitting and why it stopped working...
5. New issue: Xperia Companion software is not seeing the device - it connects to the device in MTP mode for a few seconds, then dropps connection...
6. Complete messup with Internal Storage, SD card if Xperia Z3 content in MTP mode if viewed throug Windows explorer - internal storage shows only books, which I have actually on the SD card, while File Commander and ES File Explorer on the phone shows books on my SD card. why it is so is beyond my understanding...
So, Sony people, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, do not assume all the users are idiots and will bombard you with issues of their slow SD card and PLEASE reverse that stupid decision to remove the main feature of Marshmallow system to use SD storage for applications. Better decision would be to divide applications to "important" and "entertaiment" type and allow move of usually heavy games and apps which do not require high communication speed (music players, text book and audiobook readers, customization apps etc) to SD card.
Or, alternatively, provide people with Lollipop 1.1 downgrade option - it worked for me flowlessly, I was stupid to rely on my previous experience with Sony upgrades and hoped for improvements when I've jumped on Marshmallow upgrade last week.
I am as UnceSammo do not want to buy another phone simply because I do not have enough internal storage and I can, as I am sure most of the users, tolerate slow speeds of SD card in lieu of ability to dump there entertainment applications.
Thank you in advance and hope to see soon an update fixing all the issues reported to SONY by diappointed users who upgraded to Marshmallow.
it's a very very unfortunate thing that Sony opt-out on this feature. As the OS advances, newer features will be added as well and if they keep on opt-out on these features, then what's the point for the upgrades? I gotten to like my Sony over times, however this experience will make me think 3 times before purchasing another Xperia device again.
sorry you run into all these problems. I had some as well right after the upgrade. I just said screw it and formatted my SD card. maybe just to backup all your stuff and just go ahead and formatted and see if you are still running into these problems. At this point, it's could't make it any worst then it is already.
Good luck

Same here ... Xperia Z3.... Sony, Why do you remove options that people find very useful?? LIke in lollipop, We could move apps to sd card.. After marshmallow update, i cant even find "apps" in transfer to sd card option. !!! And all the apps that was on sd card, they show up with some lame icon with sd card in it !!!! what the fish did you guys do???!!! I was very exicted for marshmallow update!! now I regret updating it !!! screwed it up !!! big time !!!! And you took soo long to figure out how to screw up stuffs!!!
Same problem with my phone!!!! I will NEVER EVER do a Sonyupdate agein. I'm very angry and diappointed about this software update and about Sony. I have already warned 3 colleagues not to install the update and to use the phone with Android 5.
SHAME on Sony!!!
I have bougth the phone and a 64GB SD-Card and I don't giv a s.... on the speed of the apss, because these are mainly apps that I use really seldom and that need a lot of space.
If it is not possible for me to move the apps in an easy way to the SD-Card I will sell the phone an NEVER buy Sony again!!!!!!!
At the moment, it is NOT possible to move an installed app from the internal memory to the SD card!
... a very angry P.
I don't even have the menu entry "move to SD-Card" any longer. There is no such button when you click on your favourite app. I n Lollipop it was possible only by klicking "move to SD card".
I'm really ANGRY!!!!
you have to go into the apps within setting, then go through each app individually.
click on one of the app, touch Storage (not a button), then you'll see a CHANGE button. if you do not see that CHANGE button, that means the app is no longer movable to SD.
it's a little more comlex then 5.1.1 where all the movable apps are in it's own tab. now you have to go through each app individually. takes a little more time, but still able to do so.
However I remember you mention you had a 64G. I don't know this is a bug by Google or not, but if you have any more then 32G of free space, the app is not movable to SD. you will get an error. load your SD card up with music, movies, pictures, what ever you need to fill up the space. as soon as you have less then 32G of free space, restart your phone and you should be able to move the apps to SD fine.
took me days and lots of internet search to find this issue. hope this help

Have a great weekend, Weevils! Bin Weevils have been so kind to give everyone a free burrito item today - claim a free fiesta food item every Friday!
Psst - what's that hat beano150 is wearing? Don't say he's turning... WeEvil, hmm... find out more soon!
Hey, Bin Weevils! Some breaking news occurred today (12th January 2016)... the BRAND NEW Bin Weevils Blog (or "Weevil News") is finally here!
After the announcement just 3 days ago, many Weevils (such as myself, beano150) expected the blog to be released at the end of the month like most decent updates on Bin Weevils are.
The new blog sure is fresh & vibrant!:
Let's go over some of the features on the new blog, shall we?
The new Tycoon section is the perfect pad for all Bin Tycoon members! Here, you can find exclusive content such as secret codes, special sneak peeks (don't worry if you aren't a Tycoon, we'll be sure to share the sneak peeks with you here!) and so much more!
The updated content panel is much more colourful and vibrant. Let's check out each section individually, shall we?
I have to say, the new homepage (or "News" section) is so much better! To add a comment, you need to log-in to your Bin Weevil, which prevents someone pretending to be you simply by entering your Weevil name instead of their own.
Only a small quarter of each post shows, with a "Read more..." button on each one. This allows you to check out what's happening in the Bin much easier than the old blog!
The fan art page has had an update, too! Bin Weevils have really gone all-out on the new blog, it seems. Awesome! Now, you can click the "SUBMIT YOUR ART" splat (underneath the "YOUR FAN ART" text. Once you click on there, you'll unlock a panel with instructions on how to submit your artwork.
I personally think uploading artwork through the website is much easier than having to log-in to your email account and send it through to them that way. Thumbs up for this update, Bin Weevils!
The videos page has the same style as the news section, but the page is still useful as this page is limited to video-posts only. Nice one!
The contests page has also got the same style as the news page, but is limited to posts containing competitions or winners of competitions! This means posts such as the Weekend Puzzle Challenges, Best Nest posts with the regular "Unlock ___" challenges, Weevil Of The Week posts & much more can be found right here! That rocks!
Presumably the most popular page on the new Bin Weevils blog, this is the codes page!
Find awesome codes here, who knows... maybe the Weekend Puzzle Challenges will find the way here?
The only thing I would say about this page, is, the posts containing codes that have expired can be found here. Although, I can understand this as if a code expires in one week, it would be a lot of effort for the team to go and find it then delete it.
Just like on most blogs, the Bin Weevils blog sidebar is a popular way to attract players to different parts of the website. Whilst some icons may have stayed the same, I would like to introduce you to something I quite like... the new blog sidebar widgets & icons!
The "TOP NEWS" sidebar widget is really good. I like the fact this appears on a sort of "paper" looking shape, fitting in with the bin theme. Each blog post listed on this widget links to the relevant post.
The new blog sidebar icon widgets really do look cool! I know we had these on the old What's New Blog, but these are updated icons which I personally prefer. Oh, and as a bonus, if you want to catch up on the OLD What's New Blog posts, or simply read them for memories, that's what the "ARCHIVE" icon is there for!
Lastly, the shout outs have been updated. Well, this new widget actually appeared on the old What's New Blog, but only recently, last week I think. This may be the same style as the "TOP NEWS" section above, but it does look cool!
Something else cool? Check out how you submit a shout out on the new blog!
Simply log-into your Bin Weevil and you will unlock the form! You will be able to view your whole buddy list using the drop-down menu, and enter your message in the box beneath. Click the "Submit" button and you have just sent a shout out to one of your buddies!
That's pretty much it for now, so thank you for reading. I especially love the new blog, so Bin Weevils team, if you're reading this, I hope you appreciate my feedback!
See you soon!

Back in 1982, the Mile High City-set series Dynasty was the most popular show on TV, but only establishing shots were regularly filmed here. So what was Denver really like back then? We stumbled upon a regular time-machine of a book that shows us: Denver Now, described as "Denver's Business Showcase."
Unfortunately, many of the places highlighted below are long gone -- but the photos left behind are amazing in their beautiful cheesiness. Set the WAYBAC Machine for three decades ago and check out the results below.
Hills Gallery Formerly at 3113 East 3rd Avenue, Hills Gallery boasted "a varied inventory of traditional and contemporary images from masters such as Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter, the Westons and selected regional photographers." Like, for example, the person who shot this image of the sexiest man who ever lived, in the most erotic pose imaginable. Seyfer Engineering "Pride and distinctiveness are not the only benefits to owning a classic car," begins the pitch for Seyfer Engineering, which could be found at 7000 Raleigh Street back in the day. Presumably another one of the perks of piloting a Rolls was attracting the sort of models seen here. They're presumably waiting with exquisite boredom for animal-rights activists to splash red paint all over them. Heritage Square Opera House These days, the performance space at Heritage Square is known as a music hall, not an opera house. But that doesn't mean La Traviata was the sort of thing regularly found on the bill during the Reagan era. The Denver Now item reveals that "the heart and ham of it is their outrageously 'revised' melodramas -- classic melodramas of the likes of 'Billy the Kid' or 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' turned upside down by the hilarious pen of G. William Oakley." Do you think he's the bug-eyed bartender, or the guy in front of him who looks like a cross between Kurt Vonnegut and Gallagher? Continue to see more Denver Now business photo showcases from 1982. 7News Like Heritage Square, 7News has survived the vicissitudes of time, not to mention what looks like a discount computer desk that four badly dressed people (including future KCNC weather forecaster Larry Green, resplendent in a sweater vest at the far right) were made to share. Wall Beds Unlimited Apparently, there was a limit to this wall bed business, at 1961 Wazee, since it no longer exists. Love the way the woman in the picture is color-coordinated with the incredibly blah decor. A perfect match! Tamarac Square These days, Tamarac Square is all about "value" shopping. But back in 1982, says this blurb, it offered "elegance, intimacy, and thoughtful consideration of the shopper," transforming the center into "an oasis of restaurants, one-of-a-kind shops, and theaters" -- not to mention severe looking women holding doves. Continue to see more Denver Now business photo showcases from 1982. Jonas Bros., Inc. No, not those Jonas Brothers! We're talking about the furriers who did business at 1037 Broadway, in a gorgeous, 1923-vintage building, complete with its trademark sign, less than a block north of Westword's offices. Unfortunately, the animals rendered into the luxurious outfits seen hanging here are long gone.... Pollyanna Lingerie & Accessories Does the outfit this woman is wearing -- from a business that was located in Tamarac Square -- qualify as lingerie? If so, about thirty different examples of 21st Century lingerie could be made from the fabric, with plenty to spare.... Colorado Rockies Yes, you recent arrivals: The Colorado Rockies was the name of our hockey team more than a decade before Denver got a Major League Baseball franchise. And some of the team members did indeed sport rockin' porn-star-quality mustaches. Slick! Continue to see more Denver Now business photo showcases from 1982. Celebrity Sports Center No jokes about Celebrity Sports Center, which once dominated 888 South Colorado Boulevard. We still miss it! The Sporting Club Now known as the Cherry Creek Athletic Club, this workout-centric space at 500 South Cherry Street (there was also a branch in the Tech Center that was swallowed by T-REX in 2011) has moved forward with the times. Meaning no one looking like the four people in this shot has been seen there in about a quarter-century. Aurora Athletic Club The old club, at 2953 South Peoria, no doubt hosted plenty of scenes like this one, in which a horndog is putting the make on a woman who clearly wants nothing to do with him. Continue to see more Denver Now business photo showcases from 1982. Aero Executive "Whether you charter or own your own aircraft, Aero Executive Charter Services is your complete corporate flight department," boasts the text accompanying this shot. And that's especially true if you're trying to look foxy while slowing being choked to death by a bow large enough to swaddle a mummy. Swensen's This venerable ice cream company remains in existence, but there are no more branches in Colorado. (During the early '80s, there were three -- one near Havana at Yale, another across the street from the now defunct Villa Italia mall in Lakewood, and another at Southglenn Mall.) And that's probably fine by the three women seen here, who seem like the most miserable employees of all time -- maybe because of those outfits they were made to wear. By the way, here's the Denver Now cover... ...which gives several Tech Center buildings a look that's simultaneously tacky and foreboding. Those were the days.

I bought a set of pillowcases. I washed and dried them. I found a font I liked (Sexy Sara) and printed out the wording. I used transfer paper to trace the wording to the pillowcase. Then I embroidered it.
This was on one side.
Here's the fabric headband and pin that I made a couple of weeks ago. I used one of my favorite headbands as a pattern. I love it and have been wearing it nonstop. I need to make a couple of more.

Among efforts to make social media a more congenial place, researchers at Cornell are working on artificial intelligence that detects nasty online conversations when they are only starting to take that turn.
What's going on: Most studies of online conversation look for phrases such as, "What the hell is wrong with you." But, by then, it's too late. In their new paper, Justine Zhang, Jonathan Chang and Cristian Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil say they aim to ferret out anti-social clues "when the conversation is still salvageable."

It is a perfect debut for award winning Indian Textile designer Gaurang Shah known for his exquisite work using jamdani weave to create unique fusion of fabrics and textures, especially sari as the costume designer for the big trilingual film 'Mahanati' a biopic on legendary actress Savitri slated for release on May 9, 2018.
The costumes for the eagerly awaited trilingual Indian biopic 'Mahanati' were designed by Gaurang, who toured the past of Savitri interacting with people, industry folks for months for his research.
Talking about the challenge Gaurang says "Choosing the right textile, weaving, texturing, and colouring to lend reality to the look of actress Savitri took many months. Over 100 artisans worked relentlessly to ensure the weaving process was uninterrupted as the whole progression took more than a year and a half from the inception of the costumes to the conclusion of the last shoot.
Gaurang has a unique knack for capturing ancient traditions of craft, antiques, and architecture to create his own signature which is a beautiful blend of past and modernity using jamdani weaving technique. This skill lent beautiful synergy and made things seamless, Priyanka Dutt, Producer of Swapna Cinema 'Mahanati' revealed.
On recreating producer Priyanka Dutt of Swapna Cinema and Nag Ashwin's vision of 'Mahanati' Designer Gaurang says "It was a beautiful journey even for me and my team capturing different moods and sequences in the film. Recreating the sensibilities of the actress including elements such as the choice of fabric types and the textures were immensely satisfying for me as a textile designer.
Elated about his debut costume venture in a film of this scale Gaurang says" It was a challenge right from the beginning, what excited me the most was a perfect opportunity to showcase Indian saris in its fullest grandeur, with utmost simplicity through the journey of the legendary actress Savitri on the big screen, adds Gaurang , who has numerous celebrities adoring his inventive textile craftsmanship using jamdani weave.
Gaurang and his team spent a great deal of time in research to ensure every costume that Savitri will be seen wearing in the film is authentic. Gaurang sourced heavy silks fabrics from different parts of India like Kanchipuram, Benares which were enhanced with kota, mangalgiri and block prints that were then handcrafted in our looms by a dedicated team of more than 100 local artisans. We used tones that carry a lot of radiance and associated with awe feminine character, balanced it with traditional at-that-era of colors, since Savitri outfits were all about simplicity and opulence.
GAURANG explored and recreated textiles to weave her journey from her childhood to her passing away. From mangalgiri's and kota's with prints for her growing days, to heavy brocades, silks, organza's and handwoven sateen's, chiffons for her golden era to subtle rendition for her later life. His team travelled extensively to museums and recreated the textiles of that time. Each and every detail of the textile, design, texture and colour were studied and artisans were guided to recreate it.
About his approach to perfection and meeting the expectations of the Director of the film Nag Ashwin "The director wanted me to make satins for specific scenes, but since I wanted all her looks to be pure handloom, I recreated the satin on handloom, and so for the chiffons and georgettes. For instance, I replicated Savitri's look for maya bazaar- which was a heavy kanjeevaram lehenga and blouse with an organza dupatta itself. It took us three months to get the colour, design and fabric woven."
Mahanati, the Indian biographical film written directed by Nag Ashwin, based on the life of legendary South Indian actress Savitri has been filmed simultaneously in Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam languages starring Dulquer Salmaan, Keerthy Suresh, and Samantha Akkineni in the lead roles plus a host of celebrated actors and actress.
Presented by Vyjayanthi Movies and produced by Priyanka Dutt of Swapna Cinema the trilingual film is slated for release on May 9, 2018, across Indian and global theatres.

I'm not one to get involved in politics, at all. But occasionally something does make me stop and think about how lucky we are to have our healthcare system in the UK.
This weekend, Lia has been quite poorly. It started of just as conjunctivitis, but she has ended up with a terribly swollen eye, a temperature and a really heavy cold.
Because she is so young, Lia just doesn't seem to be coping very well with what could be a cold or the flu. She has been really quite lethargic and just hasn't been herself at all.
On Friday, I phoned 111 for advice and they said to just keep cleaning her eye with cooled, boiled water but to call back if she got worse.
Yesterday, I got quite worried about how quiet she was and her eye was quite swollen, so I headed to our local minor injury unit with her.
The nurse at the unit was understandably unwilling to treat Lia because of her age and the fact that it was to do with her eye. But at the same community hospital there was an out of hours doctor on duty.
So, within five minutes of arrival we were in with the doctor who gave Lia a thorough check-up. She explained that Lia was just not feeling well because of her temperature and that she needed some antibiotic drops for her eye.
We headed home with the prescription and hubby went to collect her eye drops. Less than an hour after I'd taken her to the hospital, Lia was receiving the treatment she needed.
Lia still doesn't seem right today, so if she's not on the mend tomorrow I'll probably be bothering the out of hours doctor again.
And it just made me think how lucky we are to have our healthcare system. There are few parts of the world where you can see a doctor and receive treatment in under an hour.
Actually, there are probably few parts of the country where you can get treated so quickly. We probably would have waited hours in a large A & E department.
But the real thing that struck me was how worried I was, and how reassuring it was to get Lia to a doctor.
And yet in other parts of the world, people have to trek for days to reach a hospital when their child has a serious disease like malaria. Often the child doesn't make it, and that's just not acceptable.
There are numerous charities that work tirelessly to improve access to healthcare. One such example is Malaria No More, who aim to stop people from dying unnecessarily from the disease.
Whether our children live to adulthood or not is such a lottery, dependent to a large part on where they are born. This weekend, we are grateful to our healthcare system, and in particular our local community hospital.
I hope that one day everyone will have such easy access to essential healthcare.

The Silence of the Yams
Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.
That is how Michael Pollan starts his wonderful article in the New York Times, that summarizes it all, the foodie version of the question put to Rabbi Hillel: "teach me everything while I am standing on one foot." He then goes on in true talmudic fashion to explain exactly what he means by "food" (stuff your great-grandmother would recognize, not any of the manufactured products filling our supermarket) "not too much" (how our diet has been distorted by too much of everything, that "the main features of the Western diet [are]: lots of meat and processed foods, lots of added fat and sugar, lots of everything — except fruits, vegetables and whole grains.) "Mostly Plants" - (we now eat a monoculture of grain and not enough green veggies.) He ends with a series of rules that all of us could live by without great sacrifice: 1) Eat food. (the great-grandmother kind). 2) Avoid food that makes health claims, Don't take the silence of the yams as a sign that they have nothing valuable to say about health. 3) Avoid foods with unpronounceable or unfamiliar ingredients, or any high fructose corn syrup. 4) get out of the supermarket. 5) Pay more, eat less. 6) eat leaves. 7) Eat like the French- enjoy your food, have small portions and don't snack. 8) cook. 9) Eat like an omnivore.

Credit unions are democratically controlled. Credit unions are run by a board of directors elected by and from the membership. Some boards are purely volunteer in that they do not receive any type of compensation while others may be compensated for their service. Advantis recently started compensating its board of directors in 2018. Individuals who serve on boards are very busy individuals who often times have their own businesses and competing demands. These individuals help guide the credit union on major policy issues as well as have some legal duties and specific liabilities for corporate-level decisions they participate in. Each credit union is different in that they must follow general federal, state, local, and trade association regulations and guidelines; yet each maintains a separate set of what are called bylaws. Bylaws are essentially the working agreements within the cooperative. Each member has one vote in electing board members. At banks, only the investors (shareholders) have voting privileges. Customers don't have voting rights, unless they are also a shareholder, and have no authority in the overall governance of their bank unless they happen to be part of the board.
Credit unions are not-for-profit. This doesn't mean that they do not or should not make a profit. After expenses are paid and reserves are set aside, surplus earnings are returned to members in the forms of higher dividends, lower loan rates and free or low-cost services. In banks, only the investors get a share of the profits.
Credit unions are part of a worldwide support network. This includes credit unions, a national trade association (CUNA), and a worldwide credit union organization (WOCCU). They often times share ideas, information, and resources amongst one another in the spirit of the cause and collaboration. Most banks belong to state and national organizations. However, banks usually are reluctant to share ideas, information and resources with each other.

Characterization of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles in Structural Silk-elastinlike Protein Polymer
Shih, Jennifer
Briber, Robert M
MetadataShow full item record
The structure of silk elastin-like protein (SELP) block copolymers containing Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles are investigated. These materials have potential applications for hyperthermia cancer therapy. SELPs undergo a gel transition at physiological temperatures, which can be used to localize delivery of nanoparticles at tumor sites. Vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and small angle neutron scattering (SANS) are used to characterize the nanoparticles and the SELP-nanoparticle nanocomposite system. A series of nanoparticles with three different nominal diameters, 30, 50 and 80 nm, were added to 4 and 8 wt.% SELP samples. Different functionalities on the nanoparticle surface affect their interactions with SELP. The 50 nm nanoparticles in SELP exhibit chaining (linear association of the nanoparticles), while the 30 nm nanoparticles are too small and settle out of the polymer mesh and the 80 nm nanoparticles tend to cluster without any regard for SELP structure. The SELP concentration does not have a major affect on nanoparticle behavior in the nanocomposites.

The Animal You See First Reveals Your True Personality
Take a look at the photo below. What animal do you see first? As soon as you have an answer, scroll down for an analysis of your personality! Our choices often speak volumes about who we are as people. And animals often have personalities all on their own.
The animal you choose likely has similar qualities to you!
What animal do you see first in the photo below?
If you saw the dove first, you likely have a pure and peaceful soul. You have a strong connection with people–you inspire them. And you value those around you more than material possessions.
If you saw the butterfly first, you might have a hedonistic personality. You want to experience every pleasure life has to offer and want to waste no time waiting to do it all. Small talk is too much of a chore for you to take part in it. As time is a precious commodity, you hate the idea of it being wasted on something that bores or doesn't interest you.
Adventurous is the soul who saw first the falcon! You are a classic overachiever, and won't be satisfied until you are soaring high above your peers and colleagues. Confidence and pride in who are are your greatest strengths. You can't stand the thought of anyone holding you back, and you likely won't put up with such behavior for long.
Dogs have long been a symbol for loyalty. You are likely a selfless, loyal person, always putting the needs of others before your own. While this is an admirable trait, it comes at a price. Always doing for others takes a toll on you, but take heart, you are appreciated!
Did you see the wolf first? You likely value privacy. You are picky when it comes to choosing your friends, as you have learned not to trust too many people with the real you. Chances are, you have a small but close circle of friends that you trust with some of the more intimate details of your life.
If the mantis is what you saw first, you probably hate small talk and prefer to spend your time alone. That being said, while you're more of a loner, when you're forced to socialize, you do get along well with others. Your intelligence is one of your greatest strengths. If need be, you can use this strength to manipulate the environment around you to suit your needs.
If the animal that stood out to you the most was the crab, you are probably a stubborn individual. You've built walls and you cling to your comfort zone. However, you occasionally leave your protective bubble, and when you do, you won't return to it until you've completed what you've set out to do. You can come off as abrasive to those who try to peek in to the depths of your personality.
If you saw the horse first, you value freedom. You have the mindset that you can do whatever you want, but you're also generous. More often than not, you use your freedom to benefit the lives of others. You enjoy doing for others and will work tireless towards making others happy.
Did you see the hen first? You're a homebody, hands down! You enjoy just puttering around your house, decorating, organizing, or otherwise making it your haven. Good luck to anyone who wants to get you out of your comfort zone!

Pep Not Sure Will Play Lewandowski Opponent Barca
Barcelona – Robert Lewandowski condition had improved and ready to play despite having to wear a "mask". However, Bayern Munich coach, Pep Guardiola, not yet know whether he will reduce Lewandowski in the game contra Barcelona or not.
Lewandowski suffered a series of injury when Bayern eliminated Borussia Dortmund last week in the semi-finals of the DFB-Pokal. Cracked his jaw, broken nose, and suffered a concussion.
Polish striker had been absent when Bayern lost 0-2 to Bayer Leverkusen last weekend and had made him doubt going to play in the Champions League semi-final first leg Barca counter, Thursday (7/5) morning pm later.
However, in the practice session earlier this week and the day before the match, Lewandowski has seen with his colleagues by wearing a mask to protect his face.
The 27-year itself ensure he was ready to play at the Camp Nou. However Pep yet know whether it will decrease Lewandowski or not, depending on the condition of the players in the game.
"He (Lewandowski) has been practicing. I'll talk to him before the game because we need 14 players at 100 percent. I want to know how it is when wearing a mask," said Pep as quoted by Soccerway.
