My 2016 Birthday Post
Seven years ago a young woman arrived in Israel after almost a decade abroad, where she moved shortly after her release from military service. She came to Tel Aviv following the passing of her mother and the end of a long-term relationship across the ocean, with a suitcase and a half of clothes and piles of question marks, and without having a single clue where is Ben Yehuda street, what "arnona" means, who are today's TV news anchors or how Pango works.
Her innocence was bursting through and through, but among the big load of wrong decisions she was making, there were a few half decent ones as well, as she began paving her new path against all odds and conventions. She created, acted, got up and fell, took apart, broke apart, and rebuilt herself. With time she shed more and more layers of innocence, adding in their place some layers of balance, insight and a few new wrinkles. She didn't grow up in the alley ways of Tel Aviv, and she was always the new oddball in town, but despite many hardships she never gave up on herself, and even when she faltered along the way, she got back up, dusted herself off, and carried on.
Wild Child 2016
An incredible year of difficulty coping, never-ending growth and new challenges in business and in my personal life.
I never dreamt that just a little over a year ago, a handsome and gentle man would strike up a conversation on the beach with me, and that from that morning on we would go through an intensive year together and apart.
After he approached me, we had a short exchange on the beach, as we both happened to be there at the same time, just the two of us, on a nearly abandoned shore on Yom Kippur eve. I never expected the upcoming year to be so turbulent, special and full of love and shared experiences.
Generally speaking,
2016 was a year full of endless hours of challenging work, fascinating meetings, dozens of lectures across the country and abroad, and consultations with interesting people, some of which made me feel I was learning more than teaching. And in the midst of my business challenges and development it was also the year where I slid on snow sleds in frozen Lapland, jumped in front of Rome's Colosseum, dipped my toes in the Greek Lindos Islands, saw the breathtaking Northern Lights, ate in Serbian street restaurants, drank coffee in cold Vienna, dropped from a 100 meter high zip-line from tree to tree in Chiang Mai, between tree tops in magical Ohai, and enjoyed my time once more in Israel's carefreeMidburn experience.
Along the way
I also managed to pack up my lifeinto small boxes, together with that same handsome fellow from the beach, all in one month, leave Israel and set off for a new country and a new beginning. I managed to dive with sea turtles this year. alongside incredible reefs in the depths of an enchanting ocean, experience a desert experience in Nevada that was all about giving, love, and colors, marry my love in an improvised and emotional ceremony that couldn't have come out like it did if it had been planned, share our love in a luxurious honeymoon in Thailand, cultivate my business in new channels abroad along with a new business for promoting on Instagram, and enjoy amazing collaborations as I continue to grow and rise high in the digital world, as well as in the real-estate world, as I have been doing for 55 years,
I haven't forgotten through all of this to hug and appreciate my family and friends who have been a part of my journey for years now, and have been there for me through the roughest moments.
And this month I dropped by for a visit to Israel.
When I was still planning my trip, my schedule was focused around my business dealings, and I figured I would catch up with my family on the way. It was two and a half weeks of intense plans, which included a challenging jetlag, lack of sleep, long days of lectures, consultation meetings, personal training sessions and different business meetings, all of which I thoroughly enjoyed.
But the most important aspect of this trip, the one I wasn't prepared for, were the visits with my family.
On every visit to the country
I change a little and they change a little.
I was fortunate enough to get some important quality time with both my grandmothers, quality time that is like no other. Every moment with them was emotional and exciting for me, as I listened with passion to every story they told, every insight they shared, and took to heart every hug, as if hoarding hugs for the road before my travels back across the sea.
I also
had some quality time with my sister, the talented beautician, where I enjoyed a luxurious birthday present – a facial she gave me with her own hand, and our quality time together, which I can't remember when we last had, without the children, without all the family around us, and without being short for time. This quality time produced another rare gem for the string of memories in our chain of friendship, and our conversations brought us closer than ever.
Those moments with my amazing little sister, with whom I stayed for the first several days of my visit, allowed me a small peak into her life, in between her studies to her every day and our quality time together, and it emphasized for me how much of an incredible woman she has become over the years, a good friend and a special, kind-hearted, one of a kind human being.
My lunch with my dad filled a hole of longing for him inside of me, and a meet-up with my beloved pregnant cousin for catching up, allowed me to make up for my absence and collect a stockpile of magical moments and new memories for the months to come, until my next visit.
End of the year summary
Time is the only resource that cannot be replenished once it runs out.
Today I know better than ever that in the end, life is so fragile with so many ups and downs.
If you are passionate about something, do it now. You never know what might happen tomorrow.
It's never too late to start.
You just need to look forward and take a deep breath.
March on with your head held high. Leave all your fears and nerves behind.
Forget all the negative energies. Don't look back to try to find the guilty or the wrong. Everything is in your head. Everything is in your control.
And time – it doesn't come back. Don't waste it on the wrong kinds of energies.
2016, now that you leave a tapestry of woven memories on the fabric of my life, I am ready to go on and weave some more in the upcoming 2017.:)

Gallagher to the fore as Tyrone secure semi-final spot
Tyrone 1-18 UUJ 0-9
Tyrone eased into the semi-finals with a third straight win at Healy Park, the Red Hands pulling away with a dominant showing after the break.
Several of their new recruits, particularly Kevin Gallagher, showed up well as the holders marched on to a 12-point success.
Tyrone were awarded a 22nd minute penalty for Gerard McCartan's foul on Donnelly, but Conor McAliskey's kick was comfortably saved by Mark McReynolds and UUJ countered immediately to go in front through Emmet McGuckin.
Plunkett Kane and Penrose combined for Cavanagh to slot home a 29th minute goal, and Tyrone outscored their opponents by 1-4 to a single point in the closing seven minutes of the half.
They led 1-9 to 0-7 at the interval and there was another goal chance when Gallagher and Donnelly combined to send Cavanagh in for what looked a certain three-pointer.
However, McReynonds made a wonderful save and Donnelly's effort from the rebound was stopped on the line.
It was one-way traffic at this stage, though, with Plunkett Kane (two) and Joe McMahon adding scores to leave them 11 points to the good with 15 minutes to play.
McAliskey and Kane added to the tally with stylish efforts before the finish.

For the past year and a half, the management team and our developers have been working on the website that would give our listeners a great online experience whilst listening to their favourite presenter and the music they love the most.
With a brand new design and development, we hope to have enhanced that experience for our users and presenters, giving them the high-level interactivity with their loyal listeners.
The new website has been driven by how our listeners used the old website. With data provided through analytics and online surveys, we were able to see how listeners used the site giving us a good enough concept on how to approach the new site design and user flow.
Our key focus with this design was the "user experience" we provided to listeners. The website in mobile view was our main priority and needed to work and look a lot better than it's predecessor. I believe we have achieved that.
New features include a new chat room, more interactive presenter schedule, news and events articles, easier access to content, current/next show slider, multiple views for each device type (mobile, tablet, and desktop) and we've gone secure over the internet (https).
We hope you enjoy the experience.

Over on the Dorkly YouTube channel (where we've been doing some neat live videos about how things work behind the scenes here) a small kerfuffle erupted over the name of Pidgey's final evolution, Pidgeot. I referred to the creature as "Pid-jet", causing the majority of the room to question my sanity. How could I possibly think the name of Ash's original bird confindant was anything besides "Pid-Jee-Aught"!? The consensus of my coworkers was that I was 100% wrong and stupid and also I smell like medium-sized farts.
Later that evening I found my social media flooded by fellow outcasts who not only agreed with my pronunciation, but also had felt the sting of ridicule for fighting on the side of accuracy. It's time we settled this once and for all: What do we call this big damn birdo?
One of most challenging parts of localizing pokemon is how do you change or convert their names. There's a balance between keeping the Japanese creators' ideas intact, but also adapting and adjusting the parts that would sound "off" or "uncool" to the American audience. One of my favorite examples of this challenge is Sudowoodo:
The entire premise for Sudowoodo is based on a Japanese pun (the word for "liar" sounds like the words "false tree"). Without that knowledge you'd have no idea that this arboreal asshole is actually a rock type. To adapt that same idea across linguistic borders is a real head-scratcher. These kind of adaptation puzzles are solved by localizers every day, and in the early days of Pokemon it was really hard to get definitive answers from Game Freak (who had about 6 people on staff when making the first games). But other times, such as the case of Pikachu, Caterpie, and Nidoran they let the naming and pronounciation stay put, this could easily be the case for Pidgeot.
But it's interesting to note that Pidgeot's official Japanese name is "Pigeot" which is only one letter off from the English "Pidgeot". According to Bulbapedia:
Pidgeot and Pigeot are combinations of pigeon and jet (referring to its great speeds),
From ???? pijon and ???? jetto
Pidgeot and Pigeot are combinations of pigeon and jet (referring to its great speeds),
The evolutionary lines do diverge earlier though, as the original name for Pidgey is "Poppo", a shortened version of the Japanese onomatopoeia "poppoppo" sound that pigeons make. The weirdest one of all is Pigeotto (known simply as "Pigeon" in Japan), which appears to be a combination of "Pidgey" and Italian word for the number 18 "diciotto" (which is the level needed for this evolution). Despite all these confusing elements it's still pretty clear that the name goes back to the Japanese precedent the third evolution.
In case you don't want to spend several minutes consumed in 90s nostalgia, the relevant bit is at 2:48 on the progress bar.
Accepting that the PokeRap was Nintendo of America's unstoppable ploy to make sure every kid in the country knew all 150 (and more!) Pokemon names by heart AND that no other Pokemon seemingly suffer from a mispronunciation in the song, we can only conclude that the correct way to say Pidgeot's name is "Pid-jet".
But wait, there's one complication...
Well, shit.
In the video above you can hear Ash's original dub voice actress Veronica Taylor saying "Pid-jee-aught" multiple times as she did throughout her tenure on the original 4Kids version of the anime, thus imprinting an entire generation (incorrectly, I'm arguing). It's not a controversial thing to say that 4Kids played fast and loose with the source material in the 90s and early 2000s, it's easy to imagine an overworked staff in the recording booth, filling hours of tape to churn into family-friendly marketing entertainment.
In their defense "Pid-jee-aught" sounds "right" phonetically after Pidgey and Pidgeotto, so the mistake would have gone unnoticed to the staff that were being exposed to the Pokemon franchise before anyone else on the Western Hemisphere.
Pokemon is an international multimedia franchise and things are bound to get lost in translation. If you're living in France this whole argument is pointless because there this Flying-type pal is called "Roucarnage" and we're all just a bunch of squabbling Américain swine. When diving into the popular "Pronunciation Guide" channels on YouTube, even THEY couldn't agree!
This one says "Pijit"
This one says "Pi-Jee-Oat"
And I don't even know what's happening here:
Since this magical bird creature doesn't actually exist and can't clarify how it actually wants to be called, the world may never know for sure, but I hope I've made my case.

All kids love animals, and animals reciprocate, and some even have a therapeutic effect.
For example, it is widely believed that good doctors are dolphins. In the Baltics there is one and the Dolphinarium is located in Klaipeda (Lithuania). But if many of you know that here you can enjoy spectacular shows, only a few are aware of the opportunity to be in this place a course of Dolphin therapy.
However, at the moment, the Dolphinarium was closed for reconstruction, and information about when it will open, yet. The film crew of the program "mother's Club" was able to visit it before it was closed and figure out how to pass such classes.
The teacher Dolphin Brigita Crivineanu immediately emphasized: the Dolphin therapy is not a cure, it is primarily contact and communication with the animal. Dolphin therapy is carried out by specially trained experts who help to select an individual approach to the patient. "Dolphin therapy has a positive effect, which is associated with psychological aspects, as well as motor development and movement," explains physiotherapist Christine Stalidzane.
Dolphins emit a special ultrasound, which is located in front of the head. This ultrasound has a positive effect on all humoral mechanisms in the body, that is activated all vnutrenniaia. Improved heartbeat, digestion, can improve the respiratory system. Dolphin therapy promotes the development of the brain. Therefore, if the child has problems of psychomotor development, very often parents are advised to contact delfinoterapii.
The Dolphin therapy consists of 4 stages:
the first stage – acquaintance with the expert, without which therapy is not possible;
the second stage is the acquaintance of your baby with the environment in which it happens;
the third stage is acquaintance with objects – toys and dolphins themselves;
the fourth and most exciting stage – the process itself, when the child goes to swimming with dolphins.
"The most interesting thing in Dolphin that dolphins choose how to treat, how and with whom they will communicate. It's amazing! In my practice there was a girl who had serious health problems, at age 14 she practically did not move and was bound to a wheelchair. After a trip to the Dolphinarium to therapists, the girl began to walk. Actually, the effect of Dolphin therapy is simply superb, and we have not heard not one negative comment," says Christine Stalidzane.
Lithuanian Dolphinarium in working with children with special needs began in 2001, and its results exceeded all expectations. Delfinoterapii to the parents of children who have put the most different, at first glance, incurable diagnoses – autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy and even cancer.
"Is that healthy children have problems with socialization in the environment. Such children Dolphin therapy is also recommended. Dolphins become friends, and then the children overcome their psychological barriers. Improvements come each time visiting therapy," the therapist has identified another beneficial effect of therapy.
By and large, to do Dolphin every child, except for the presence of any skin diseases, infections, allergies. In this case, you must consult in advance with the family doctor, and find out whether it is possible for the child to attend such events.
In order to get to the Dolphin, you need to enroll and wait for their turn, which, unfortunately, rather big. "Unfortunately we have to wait sometimes for a long time. There was a case when parents waited 6 years, but in General you should be guided that the smallest waiting period of about six months," says Brigita Crivineanu.
If you don't have time to wait that long, there are other, less successful, methods of animal therapy.
"Why many believe that zootherapy is associated only with dolphins or some large animals. Believe me, it starts with Pets. It is scientifically proven that animals contribute to the correct and prompt development of the child. Moreover, they develop not only mentally, but physically," says Christine Stalidzane.
Choosing a pet, consider your child's personality. If he is very restless, a lot of stress, it is recommended to get a cat, as it soothes, especially if it's an old affectionate cat who may lie with the child. If a baby has low muscle tone and his need to motivate to the movements, choose smart good dog.
In Latvia also popular is equine therapy (in German) or hippotherapy (translated from French) – therapeutic riding. To deal with it can almost all children who are able to sit stably.
The horse moves in different planes, respectively, skating a very positive effect on your entire muscular system and muscular system, and bone structure. It is also interesting that the body temperature of the horse is also a very beneficial effect on the child.
As a rule, initially the child travels with a specially obojeni therapist who takes him on hands, and later parents can also participate in such trips.
Choosing one or another type of animal therapy, guided by the needs and preferences of the child to the chosen method yielded the most successful results.

It was the dead of summer in the middle of the desert in a crowded meditation hall. I went in barefoot for my first group meditation. I grabbed some pillows to make myself as comfortable as possible. I knew I'd be there a while. I sat Indian style, put my hands up on my knees and closed my eyes…cause that's what I'm supposed to do, right?
Immediately, my mind began racing thinking about if I left my curling iron on at home, if I was missing some important texts or phone calls or—God forbid!—Facebook status updates. Within minutes, my foot was falling asleep and I could feel a cramp in my leg so I switched positions, only to switch positions about 100 more times because I just could NOT get comfortable. I thought to myself, "This is some bullshit."
Only I—a hyperactive person with a mind that has a tendency to wonder sometimes, who has never really meditated at all (unless you count when I go to a "Zen" place while eating caramel gelato nommmmm…)—would choose to go to a 10-day SILENT meditation retreat. Go big or go home, I guess.
The longest 45 minutes of my life ended and then an old wise-looking Indian man appears on a TV screen in front of us.
"Congratulations. You have made it past your first meditation. I'm sure it was not easy. Your leg was cramping, you switched positions many times…"
I thought to myself, "Omg, he's talking to me!" Then he says, "This is normal. You must be patient. Many of you will quit. You will go home. Only the strong-minded will remain."
I felt as if I was being challenged and I'm no quitter. "I accept your challenge, Indian guru man!" I said—to myself, of course, cause we couldn't talk. I go to my minimalist room and get in my minimalist twin bed across from my silent roommate. That was super awkward, by the way, having a roommate I couldn't talk to.
I went to sleep and in the middle of the night, I remember waking up and reaching for my phone. It wasn't there. It was official…I was having phone withdrawals. The bell rang at 4 a.m. every morning and every time, it felt like some kind of nightmare I couldn't wake up from. I'd walk to the meditation hall like a zombie and literally fall asleep during the meditation. I didn't know I was able to sleep while sitting up. It didn't get easier. I grew more agitated and all I wanted to do was sit in a chair.
During the 10 days, we were only allowed to speak to one of the meditation teachers if we signed up at a designated time. Then and only then could we ask any questions. I think I signed up everyday. The first session went like this:
Me: "Hi. I'm very uncomfortable during my meditation. Is there any way I can sit in a chair?"
Teacher: "You seem young and healthy to me. Do you have any ailments we should know about?"
Me: "Well…no…but I feel like I'm going to get some ailments if I keep sitting like this."
She smiles and says, "What you're feeling is normal. Be patient. Don't fight it. It's just your ego that doesn't want to change. The pain is temporary. It will get better. Be patient."
I dropped a giant plate of food LOUDLY in the SILENT dining hall and had to mime for some help in cleaning it up.
I dropped a giant plate of food LOUDLY in the SILENT dining hall and had to mime for some help in cleaning it up.
Patient is one thing I am NOT, but this whole situation was forcing me to be. During the remaining days, I found myself walking around having intimate conversations with myself since I couldn't talk to anyone else. I dropped a giant plate of food LOUDLY in the SILENT dining hall and had to mime for some help in cleaning it up. It got to the point where I was reading my Aveeno lotion bottle and had the thing memorized by Day 10 cause we couldn't have any reading materials. I remember looking at my car in the parking lot off in the distance and thinking, "Just make a run for it!"
To put it frankly, I was losing my mind… or at least my mind as I knew it. I had no other choice but to get uncomfortably close to ME. No distractions, nothing to read, no one to talk to, just me, myself, and I. I'm not sure if I have ever really done that before.
My breakthrough came about Day 7 when I sat and meditated for an hour…without moving. It was the most surreal experience I had ever had. I felt like my body was elevating off the ground and this warm light was surrounding me. My mind was clear and there was no pain anywhere on my body. For the first time in my life, I was STILL—both mentally and physically.
When the meditation ended, I felt as if I floated back to my room. I lay down in my bed and, out of nowhere, tears came streaming down my face and I didn't know why. I wasn't sad or upset but yet tears were soaking my pillow. I feel like I let go of something…I released…the old me and maybe I was unconsciously mourning that loss. Whatever it may have been, it was one of the most profound experiences of my life thus far.
When I went home, it took a few days to adjust to being back in the "real world" again. I kept up with the meditation…for about a week then I picked up my old habits, but at least I know what I'm capable of. I now know how to calm my mind, be quiet and still but more importantly….I can recite every ingredient on an Aveeno lotion bottle verbatim. Namaste!

Entitled Muslim Refugees Got a BRUTAL Surprise When These Bikers Showed Up
Westerners and many other nations have lost all patience for refugees. 1,700 Germans attended a rally that waved an antimigrant flag. You know it's bad when even the "compassionate" Westerners have had enough of these people. they certainly have worn out their welcome. I'd say we have been pretty hospitable but we have to look at the facts, they bring a severely increased risk of danger!
Reports now indicate a rogue band of "bikers, hooligans and bouncers" organized a migrant "manhunt" on Facebook before attacking a group of Pakistanis in Cologne.
"Two young Pakistani men needed hospital treatment after being attacked by vigilante gangs hunting foreigners in Cologne in apparent revenge attacks for the mass sexual assaults on women on New Year's Eve," The Evening Standard reports, adding that "police said the first incident took place early yesterday evening when a group of about 20 men attacked six Pakistanis near the main station near the railway station where the New Year's Eve attacks took place."
"Shortly after the first attack, a similar incident unfolded when a 39-year-old Syrian national was assaulted by a group of five people," Deutsche Welle adds. Here's more:
Cologne tabloid "Express" reported on Monday that a group of "bikers, hooligans and bouncers" had used Facebook to plan a "human hunt" to "clean up" Cologne's city center. Early on Monday, a police spokesperson was unable to confirm the reports.
This last Sunday Police were tipped off about terrorist groups that were looking to rile the public. When officers were deployed several identity checks were performed and four people out of the small number they did check were detained. Two face criminal charges and the others penalties are still being determined. That was just this last tiny check the police did! That could have been another major story on the news of death and destruction from terrorists, but because they were allowed to protect themselves lives were saved.

Netflix have announced this weekend that Krysten Ritter will be returning as Jessica Jones receives a second season, to shore up local whisky manufacturers across New York.
The announcement was made at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour, which also announced things like an April release for season 2 of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Released in November last year, we likely won't see the show return until at least the end of this year, but it joins the previously-announced and in-production second season of Daredevil as part of an increasingly-committed mini-universe of Marvel TV shows streaming through the service.
No details beyond the 'it's going to happen' stage have come up yet, but we can all now happily start boldly and wildly predicting what might happen in season two. My money is on BAD Girls Inc.
Because my money is ALWAYS on BAD Girls Inc.

I love the beginning of the week. Must people are thinking I'm crazy right now. Why do I like Mondays and Tuesdays?
New book releases. Monday brings new releases from Carina Press. Tuesday brings new releases from a number of publishers. I love getting new books! I have almost so much fun buying the books as I do reading them.
Today If You See Her by Shiloh Walker released today. I've been looking forward to reading this series. Also, Sweet Stuff by Donna Kauffman released today.
So many great books to read. Not enough time each day to read them.

Supreme Court refuses to intervene in Amarnath land transfer row
July 04, 2008 20:44 IST
"We cannot revoke a cabinet decision," a bench headed by Justice Altamas Kabir said while declining to go into the question of directing the administration to lift the curfew from Jammu region, which witnessed violent protests against the revocation of the land transfer order.
"We are not going to withdraw curfew. Lifting the curfew is beyond our jurisdiction," the bench, also comprising Justice G S Singhvi said while hearing a Public Interest Litigation filed by Bhim Singh, chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party.
The bench, however, allowed his prayer that adequate security and medical facilities be provided to stranded pilgrims to Amarnath and Vaishno Devi shrines.
"Pilgrims either to Vaishno Devi or Amarnath Shrine be provided adequate security till they complete their pilgrimage and leave Jammu and Kashmir," the bench said.
The said various other issues and submissions including compensation to families of victims killed and injured in police firing during the protest could not be considered as these issues were not for the courts to decide and fell in the domain of the administration.

Elements of Direct Online Marketing
Related Articles
Online marketing is often defined as pay-per-click advertising that drives people to specific websites through keyword-targeted messages. These techniques are more direct ways to get people to visit our websites. Here are elements of direct online marketing that we should be aware of:
1. Promotional Content
Unlike informative content, promotional content is intended to provide positive encouragements for people to visit our website and purchase our products. Search engines can't really differentiate informative and promotional content, as long as we try to make them unique and interesting. Like any other content, promotional content should also be relevant and purposeful, while encouraging users to do specific things. Many of us regularly introduce new services, solution and products, so promotional content can be used to make website looks update and fresher.
2. Keyword tracking
Keywords are used intensively throughout online marketing efforts, so it is important to track them to make sure that they stay relevant. By adjusting accordingly, we should be able to track the performance of our website.
3. PDFs, free Software and other Downloadables
We should be able to offer valuable information to our customers and prospects. White papers, PDFs and free software can keep them interested.
4. Email marketing
Email marketing is probably one of the oldest and simplest forms of online marketing. We could simply encourage existing customers to subscribe to our newsletters to get themselves updated with our new products and services. While this effort won't directly affect our search engine ranking, it is possible to nurture relationship with current customers.
5. PPC (pay per click) campaigns
PPC campaigns can be very effective for driving high quality target traffic. They are largely consisted of people who are interested with our products and services, so it is possible for us to elicit sales leads. PPC may efficiently kick-start our online marketing effort, depending on our daily budgets. We may choose to have aggressive or modest budget to achieve specific goals. PPC campaign can be adjusted on the fly and integrated with specific analytic tools.
6. Blogs and forums
Many companies successfully integrate sub-domains for their blogs and forums in the official website. Blogs are content-rich platform that can boost our SEO performance. Forums could also enhance communication with customers, while encouraging interactions between them.
7. Direct links
Unlike inbound links that are used by search engines to measure the authority of our website, direct links are aimed to directly encourage people to visit our website. This could be achieved through guest-blogging and other methods. Not only this will improve traffic our website, but could also be seen as a way to boost search engine ranking as well.
8. Online videos
People love to watch videos, perhaps more than reading and listening. By publishing online videos, we could boost our B-to-B performance. Videos can be used to generate traffic and interest among people.
Both SEO and online marketing methods should be integrated into our customer service / marketing / sales mix. SEO can't work on its own and it should be paired with highly effective SEM elements.

2006 Mazda RX-8 Reviews and Ratings
Coupe 2D GT (6 Spd)
Expert Reviews
The ingenious Mazda RX-8 is a true four-seat sports car, and its small but powerful rotary engine makes this possible.
The RX-8 drives like a sports car, with perfect 50-50 weight distribution for balanced handling and a high-revving engine. It reminds us of the brilliant third-generation RX-7, but it's $13,000 cheaper, and its muscular styling has a zoom-zoom edge.
Yet the RX-8 is surprisingly practical. It's perfectly capable of taking the kids to soccer practice, with ample passenger room for four full-size adults. There's enough room for a weekend's worth of luggage or two full-size golf bags, and the small rear doors and relatively spacious trunk make trips to the home improvement center possible. Granted, it's not as roomy as a sedan, but it can move people and stuff when needed.
The RX-8 was launched as an all-new model for 2004. While the manual transmission model carries over with few changes, but the automatic is far more compelling for 2006 than last year's model. The 2006 RX-8 offers a new six-speed automatic in place of last year's four-speed. What's more, the automatic model gets a significant boost in horsepower. The six-speed automatic comes with steering-wheel mounted paddle controls for semi-manual shifting. This brings the automatic closer in character to the manual version, making it much more appealing to those who don't always want to do the shifting themselves.
Still, the manual and automatic are two different cars due to the specific tuning of the high-revving rotary engine as paired to each transmission. The six-speed manual benefits from 238 horsepower at 8500 rpm and 159 pound-feet of torque at 5500 rpm, while the automatic produces 212 horsepower at 7200 rpm and 164 pound-feet at 5000 rpm. The automatic comes packaged with smaller wheels and brakes and a softer suspension. The bottom line is that the manual is for driving enthusiasts willing to sacrifice some comfort and convenience for performance. The automatic is for drivers more interested in the looks and feel of a sports car than in ultimate performance, drivers who have to contend with stop-and-go commuting.
The 2006 Mazda RX-8 comes in two variants: the MT ($26,435) with a six-speed manual transmission and the AT ($26,435) with the new six-speed automatic.
Optional packages: The Sport Package (MT: $1,300, AT: $2,000) includes xenon headlights, fog lamps, DSC w/Traction Control (AT models add a limited slip differential and the same wheels and brakes found on all MT models). The Touring Package (MT: $2,975, AT: $3,775) adds Bose audio and an auto day/night mirror w/Homelink to the Sport Package equipment. Grand Touring (MT: $4,510, AT: $5,210) includes all that plus leather trimmed upholstery, faux leather door trim, six-way power driver's seat, heated seats, lumbar support, a moonroof, and heated mirrors. The Shinka Special Edition Package (MT: $6,165, AT: $6,685) adds urethane-injected suspension cross members, bright-finish alloy wheels, leather/faux-suede upholstery, an in-dash six-disc CD changer, Sirius Satellite Radio equipment and a one-year subscription.
Additional options include a six-disc CD changer ($500), pearl white paint ($200), a DVD-based navigation system ($2,000) and an appearance package consisting of front air dam, a rear spoiler and side and rear aero flares ($1,100).
Safety features that come standard include frontal and side-impact airbags (for torso protection) for the front passengers, and curtain airbags (for head protection) front and rear.
The Mazda RX-8 is a car you could walk around again and again and still recognize new things to appreciate (even more so if you lift up the hood and poke around and crawl underneath).
The first thing you notice are the bulges, which if not graceful certainly have a style of their own. It's about the most aggressive shape possible in stamped steel. From the double-bubble roof, down the hood and over the bulge that's shaped like one of the engine rotors, to those big wide ears of front fenders, to the headlamps and grille and air intakes that give the RX-8 a face: wide-eyed, startled, big dimples. Head-on, the RX-8 looks like it's getting gently goosed and is saying, "Oh!"
From the rear it looks good, with upswept lines and wide fender flares. From the side you see big sharp wheel arches, plus a non-functional black mesh angled vertical vent behind the front wheel. The headlights aren't as dramatic as they might be; Mazda says it believes design should be expressed in sheet metal not lighting.
The front and rear doors open in opposite directions, which Mazda calls the Freestyle door system. With no pillar between the doors, this allows very easy ingress and egress for the rear-seat passengers. As with similar systems in pickups, the front door must be opened before the rear door can open. To compensate for the lack of a B-pillar, Mazda has carefully designed the structure with supporting steel crossmembers and braces, as well as reinforcements around the door perimeter and for rigidity and safety against a side impact. The RX-8 achieved four stars out of five in NHTSA side impact tests.
Even large adults find the individual rear bucket seats of the RX-8 comfortable, with plenty of elbow room thanks to the transmission tunnel/console that separates them. Getting into and out of the rear seat is easy. Due to the high front seatbacks, rear-seat passengers can't see much out front without leaning inboard, but they can see out the side windows. Unfortunately, they don't roll down, but just push outward. So the back seats may not be the best place to spend long periods of time on a hot summer day.
The trunk can carry two sets of golf clubs. We were able to fit a desk chair and storage crate back there, a very impressive feat for a sports car. A vertical compartment door opens to the rear seat area to allow the carrying of skis and such.
The RX-8 has great seats, a nice fit with good bolstering, though the base model's cloth seat material wasn't as attractive to our eyes as it might have been. On the other end of the spectrum, the top-of-the-line Shinka Special Version Package includes much more attractive leather and suede-like upholstery.
We like the stitched leather three-spoke steering wheel, both for its style and feel. Also nice were the drilled aluminum pedals and the solid dead pedal. The brake pedal is designed to make rotation of your right foot easier, for heel-and-toe downshifting. (It also releases upon impact, to lessen leg injuries in the case of a head-on crash.) Each knee is comfortably and firmly supported during hard cornering.
The instrument panel seems to sacrifice efficiency for style, however. There are three big rings, dominated by the 10,000-rpm tachometer in the center, with a digital speedometer readout on the tach face. We miss having a separate analog speedometer. Our feeling is that analog gauges can be interpreted at a glance, while digital readouts have to be read. The two large outside rings include gauges for water temp, fuel and oil pressure. The instruments are illuminated with indirect blue lighting.
The panel forward of the shift lever is trimmed in a combination of leather and high-quality vinyl and glossy piano-black plastic. The stereo and climate control knobs are integrated; redundant controls are on the steering wheel spokes. The air conditioning wasn't as effective as we would have liked, a common complaint about many Mazdas.
The available navigation system is DVD-based and features a dedicated, retractable 7-inch screen on top of the dash above the radio and climate controls. Controlled with an eight-button cluster located just behind the shift lever, the system is simple to operate and the interface is clear, thanks in part to the fact that it does not incorporate radio and climate controls into the screen, as do many navigation systems.
The doors and seatbacks have ample pockets and cranny space, and four CDs can fit in the console, but there aren't a lot of cubbies up front. The soft triangular shape of the engine rotors are a design theme found throughout the interior, most noticeably in the stylish headrests and atop the shift lever.
The Mazda RX-8 handles like a true sports car, with great balance and precise turn-in. The suspension is soft enough for daily comfortable use and not as stiff as that of the Nissan 350Z, which corners like a race car but pays the price with a stiffer ride.
The Dynamic Stability Control works effectively yet allows the driver to work the tires without intruding. The RX-8 wasn't completely forgiving when driven hard on an autocross circuit. We found with too much throttle the RX-8 would understeer (the front tires plow and the car keeps going straight instead of turning). When we pushed it still farther, driving like hacks, the DSC would kick in to limit the understeer. What we learned is that the DSC is programmed to tolerate small errors but saves you from the big ones. In other words, it will let you get away with two feet of understeer in a curve, but not six feet.
And when DSC does take over, it uses the brakes, by braking one or more wheels needed to correct the imbalance. The electronic stability control systems in other cars correct skidding by cutting the throttle, which skilled drivers find intrusive. The RX-8's DSC will eventually cut the throttle too, but not so early that it frustrates you.
When we switched the DSC off, we discovered two things that together seem paradoxical: how good the DSC is (because we could barely feel it when it was on), and how superb the balance of the RX-8 is, because we could feel it in its natural state.
A brief word about that 50-50 balance, and where it comes from. The rotary engine, which is extremely smooth and simple, has been developed by Mazda for 40 years now. The RX-8 features the latest and by far the best rotary engine design, which Mazda calls Renesis (a shortened form of Rotary Engine Genesis). The engine is about 30 percent smaller than a typical inline four-cylinder, and its compact dimensions allow it to be mounted in a low and rearward position that results in that perfect balance. It also keeps the four-seat RX-8's center of gravity low and the curb weight down to just 3029 pounds, nearly 200 pounds less than the lightest version of the two-seat, 3213-pound Nissan 350Z.
Out on the open road the RX-8 feels even better. It hugs the road progressively, meaning the deeper it gets into a turn the harder it grips, which is wonderfully confidence inspiring.
The engine offers a sweet unique sound under acceleration and is very refined now, with little of the rotary rasp that early RX-7s were known for. The rotary's design features six power pulses per turn of the shaft compared with just three for a V6, resulting in an exhaust note that's almost hypnotic on a rhythmic road, and chainsaw-like under full steam. It revs extremely quickly, but lacks the mid-range grunt of a V6. Downshifts for quick acceleration are definitely necessary. The RX-8 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph is less than 6 seconds, according to Car and Driver magazine, making it nearly as quick as a Nissan 350Z.
Downshifting is redefined by the rotary engine, especially when paired with the brilliant close-ratio six-speed gearbox. You can drop the RX-8 into second gear at a speed that would cause almost every other car on the planet to scream, if not explode. This baby revs.
When the automatic is equipped with the sport suspension and 18-inch wheels (standard on the manual RX-8), the brake rotors measure a massive 12.7 inches in front and 11.9 inches in rear, with increased ventilation ribs for more resistance to fade. The fact that the RX-8 is so light, thanks not only to the rotary engine but also to thoughtful design with aluminum in the hood and rear doors, reduces the stopping distance to an impressive number, with performance comparable to that of the 350Z.
The Mazda RX-8 is a unique sports car. Its four-seat, four-door configuration is an original design that works. The rotary engine is super smooth, simple, high-revving and almost indestructible. It's complemented by a beautiful six-speed gearbox and great brakes. The RX-8 is a great sports car with an innovative approach and admirable engineering.
New Car Test Drive correspondent Sam Moses filed this report from Irvine, California, with Steve Siler and Mitch McCullough reporting from Los Angeles.

Bahrain, a vibrant, modern Gulf country, has been able to strike a perfect balance between tradition and the 21st century. From its legendary beginnings as Dilmun, the land of immortality hailed in the Epic of Gilgamesh, to rumors that it was the fabled Garden of Eden, Bahrain has become renowned for many things. Among them are its pearls, its hospitality, its open-minded people and its enlightened leaders. Bahrain has entered the modern age with enthusiasm while retaining some of its old world mystique.
As the place where oil was first discovered in the Middle East, Bahrain heralded the regional economic prosperity that has since followed.
Today it is a financial centre, a tourist destination, an economic hub, a major port and home to a cosmopolitan mix of people.
Bahrain is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Middle East with over two million tourists a year. Most of the visitors are from Arab states of the Persian Gulf but there are an increasing number of tourists from outside the region thanks to a growing awareness of the Kingdom's rich heritage and its higher profile with regards to the Bahrain Grand Prix.
The Lonely Planet describes Bahrain as "an excellent introduction to the Gulf because of its authentic Arab heritage and reputation as relatively liberal and modern. The Kingdom combines authentic Arab culture, contemporary Gulf glitz and the archaeological legacy of five thousand years of civilization. The ancient civilization of Dilmun, which dominated trade between Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley Civilization, was centered in Bahrain. The inhabitants of Dilmun left behind settlements and temples and tens of thousands of burial mounds which dot the landscape.
Dilmun prospered because it had fresh water, and it is this resource which has meant that Bahrain has long fought over by regional powers in a predominantly arid region. As a result, the island is home to many castles including the impressive Qalat Al Bahrain which was recently listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
The Bahrain National Museum has a wide-varied collection of artifacts from the Kingdom's history dating back to the island's first human inhabitation 9000 years ago.
The government of Bahrain is encouraging tourism development and has participated partially in the capital of developments such as Durrat Al Bahrain while many gulf nationals have relatives in Bahrain or vice versa, regional tourism is also a significant source of income to Bahrain. The government continues to contribute into large-scale tourism projects such as the Bahrain International Circuit, the only Formula One track in the Middle East when it opened in 2004, and has awarded tenders for several tourist complexes across the Kingdom.
Facts and Figures
Bahrain is an Arabic word meaning "Two Seas", referring to the island's two sources of water, sweet water springs and salty water.

- International affiliations: Bahrain is a member of the UN, Arab League, Gulf Co-operation Council and the Organization of the Islamic Conference
- Logistics: Bahrain has an excellent road network with causeway connections to Muharraq and Sitra islands and to Saudi Arabia.

Intermediate result for the creation of the book "Steiff Sortiment 1947-2015"
We have given no status update regarding the creation of the book "Steiff Sortiment 1947-2015" since a longer time and would like to give an update today and with this message.
The feedback and support for the creation of the book is overall quite positive whereat the work and duration is a lot more compared to the initial planning. There are several reasons for it but also a lot of positive ones and we had very interesting discussions with many collectors worldwide.
We are having another collector appointment this weekend and continue to work with high pressure on the creation of the book. The release date has been planned for mid of this year.
Furthermore we would be happy having the chance to involve you more through Facebook. That means we would like to ask you for some pictures of Teddy Bears and animals which we don't have yet. We are looking forward getting your support and we will place the one and the other request in the nearest future.
Kind Regards and have a good weekend :-)

Being a college student is a tough job. Exams, assignment, classes, projects and what not; it is very difficult to find time to manage it all. Thanks to technology, we have great solutions available to us with which we can save time, earn money, learn new things or manage study. But there a jungle of apps out there, it is difficult to choose the perfect one. So here we come to your rescue. We have compiled the list of best apps for colleges students, we have tried to include all types of apps in the list. List have apps from Android, Apple (iOS), Web, Chrome, Amazon to Windows. So, let's jump into it.
Here in this post, we will only cover grammar, cloud storage, note taking apps. We are coming up with more such posts in coming weeks.
Note Taking Apps for College Students
Well, not only college students anyone can use them. But let us focus on students.
Probably the best note taking app ever. Evernote has so many awesome features that it simply outcompetes the others. It has all basic note taking stuff plus you have in-app image annotation, easy sharing, email integration, group collaboration, web clipper features. You can save notes from the web directly or take a photo of the blackboard and save it. You can organize these notes in different hierarchies and topics or as per assignments. It syncs across all your devices. You can share it with your project or team members. Evernote is available on Android, iOS, and Windows. The free version is good enough for college or high school students, upgraded version comes with more advanced options.
Google Keep
I use Google Keep. Why? It is FREE, simple and auto integrated with Gmail account. Though it is having lesser features, it was meant to be simple. You can create notes and share with friends or team members. You can set location-based or time-based reminders. You can take audio notes within app only. There are no fancy features available in Google Keep, but it is sufficient for students unless you do need advanced features. It is also available on android and iOS.
Grammar Apps for College Students
You will be doing a lot of assignment, projects and probably paper presentation this year. Here you are dealing with a lot of digital text material, therefore, you should have a grammar or proofreading app or software on your computer. If you are a student and work part time for copywriting or you do blogging then you should have at least of the grammar app installed on your laptop, tablet or mobile.
I use Grammarly, I do a lot of blogging and Grammarly free option is good enough for me. I am using it right now while writing this post. J . It is integrated with Microsoft Word and other famous word processors. In the free version, it checks contextual spelling, grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and style. You can easily change the wrong word by simply clicking on the suggestion. It also gives you a reason for every suggestion. Following in the screen grab of Grammarly when I was writing this very paragraph.
With premium version, you can get advanced grammar recommendations, vocabulary suggestion and best things that you check plagiarism on the fly. It will be little pricey for a college student, but worth trying.
One more big name in grammar checking software. With a free license, you can check and correct subject-verb agreement, singular/plural nouns, consecutive nouns, misused words, contextual spelling etc. You get free Chrome and Mozilla browser extensions. These features are good enough for college or high school student. Ginger does have an offer running for students, but still, I think free version offers enough to our use. The paid version comes up with sentence rephraser, online self-trainer and other tools.
Online Storage (Cloud) Apps
What if you lose all your important data on the laptop? There are always chances that disk may get corrupt and you visit a blue screen on PC. Then why not to try some cloud-based free storage options? Backup your important data on these cloud storage. You may don't want to spend money for extra storage then you can get following 3 options, use their free plans.
Google Drive
Who doesn't have Gmail account? Use free space provided by Google and it's whopping 15GB. Backup your important data, pictures in the cloud. If you want to extend the size then you can buy it from Google, it's not that costly. You can upgrade to 100GB for just $1.99 / Month, cheapest and recommended option.
You will get free 10GB when signup as a personal account. If you upgrade at $10 / Month (approx. 700 INR) then you get 100GB.
2 GB free cloud storage for normal user and $9.99 / Month gives you 1TB. Dropbox is well integrated other apps and services.
Mega (New Entry)
Mega is a new entry in the list, you will get 50GB for a free account. This is a new online storage service, still developing. The app is available on Android. Here is the comparison between the Mega and pCloud. The pCloud, is also a cloud storage solutions provider. Take a look at it.
So, this was our best lists of note taking, grammar and cloud storage apps for students. If you liked the article and also wants to suggest some new and better apps ten please let us know in the comment section below. 🙂

Cool! Maybe there is a reason to practice these first three exercises that intermediate and advanced students find so mind-numbingly boring. Taikyoku, the ultimate universal kata, makes you better at everything else in karate.
Holy crap!
That's our "Basic I form #1"!!
I know Master C. came from a traditional taekwondo background. I wonder where they stole that from?
Shotokan or Tang So Do!
I'm seriously freaking here!
To add: After that is Basic I form 2. Then we are (or were) taught the the 8 Taegueks.ReplyDelete
Interesting, huh? If I understand right, the term taegeuk has similar philosophical underpinnings as taichi and taikyoku.
Also, If I understand it rightly, the TKD/TSD folks stole most everything they did from shotokan, renamed it, and developed the kicks to a greater level. The TSD folks I worked with in college used a set of forms that were obviously borrowed in whole cloth from shotokan. At some point, the TKD folks apparently got tired of doing a 'japanese' thing and designed a new set of kata. So, some tkd folks do the old shotokan forms, some do the new korean forms, some do both and some do neither.
Right you are! I used to bristle when folks called Tae Kwon Do "Korean Karate".
It really doesn't bother me anymore. From what I've read General Choi fused Shotokan with Takyon. In fact, I think the Tang So Do folks practice Shotokan katas.
Those high kicks came from the Takyon influence.
The "tagueks" are alleged to be more "modern". However, that's a subject of great debate in TKD circles.
So does Shotokan have a second basic form? We have a second "I form" that's fairly similar. The main differences are high punches and rising blocks.
Bob, there are three 'official' taikyoku forms. The basic form 2 that you mentioned is about the same thing as taikyoku 2. Taikyoku 3 contains some back stances and shuto blocks.
But I don't really think that these three taikyoku kata are the magical introduction to karate. Instead, they are templates that you can put various techniques into.
for example, some folks call Takiyoku 1 by the name taikyoku gedan (meaning lower-level), and these same folks have their own taikyoku forms that are shaped like the others but are filled up with mid-level blocks and punches (for the chudan, mid level kata) and with high blocks and face punches (for the jodan, high level kata)
There are also folks that practice kicks in this form. It's sort of a template for practicing kihon (fundamental techniques)

According to Urban Decay's head/international makeup artist Eric Jimenez, this palette will be released for sale at Sephora Singapore on 1 November 2010!
ETA: According to the Sephora Singapore Facebook page, it will be available at Sephora Ion from 13 November 2010 (Saturday) and will go on sale at 11 am.
If all goes according to plan, Eric will be bringing the limited edition UD <3 NYC T-shirts with him when he returns to Singapore in November; the same ones that were given out at the palette's Times Square launch for the lucky first 200 people who purchased the set.
There was a frenzied scramble for this palette in the US – people queued for it in Times Square from the wee hours of the morning and it was sold out in under 10 minutes when it was released for sale on urbandecay.com.
Why the fuss?
Firstly, it has mini LED lights that light up a representation of New York City's cityscape and its eclectic nature, once you open the set. Iconic landmarks like the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and a yellow taxi cab (so cute!), together with paper skyscrapers are bathed in a glimmering light.
Secondly, besides the pop-up collage, this eyeshadow kit also contains:
- 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils in Random (bright purple) and Zero (black)
- A mini Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Original
- Eyeshadows in:
- Loaded (sparkly emerald green)
- Kush (green metallic with silver glitter)
- Rockstar (deep red-purple with metallic base)
- Money (metallic light green)
- Bordello (pale pink-purple with shift)
- Radium (bright blue)
- Suspect (sheer sparkly beige)
- Snatch (pale peach with golden sparkle)
- Psychedelic Sister (vibrant purple)
- Haight (deep teal)
- Perversion (matte black)
- Uzi (metallic white with chunky silver glitter)
- Midnight Cowboy Rides Again (golden beige with glitter)
- Smog (deep coppery bronze)
Reasons enough to queue for hours and stalk the website! It is currently available on Sephora's website but I doubt it'd stay in stock for long. After all, it's a gorgeous and absolutely value-for-money set. I didn't think the good people at UD could trump themselves after the stunning Alice In Wonderland Book of Shadows but outdo themselves, they did!
I love the versatility of the shades – the colours will mix/match well and indubitably play off one another. No wonder Urban Decay describes it as a playful and artful shadow kit. Keep your eyes peeled on the Sephora Singapore Facebook page for more local updates on this palette. ;)

Hi Josh! Thanks for getting in touch. I believe you are using an older version of the app. Could you please check and update (sometimes Connect IQ apps aren't updated automatically and you have to redownload it manually - pressing download button). Please let us know if it works. Cheers! ;-)

Hi Peter, thanks for your review. You must use the right combination of apps on your phone and watch. To send routes to "Map Widget", for example, open the sub-app "Map Widget" on the r.485 app on your phone, and the "Map Widget" on the watch. I'd appreciate if you use the link "contact developer" instead of writing a 3-star review to make questions next time ;-)

This a great app when paired with the optional Megapack r.485 Breaths new life and functionality into your Fenix. But the most impressive feature is the incredibly prompt support offered by the developer. Assistance was near-immediate and thorough. Take your time, read the directions. Support great developers like Rodrigo. ps if you are having Unlocking issues, be certain that the Map app is actually open on the watch before transferring a route.

I am finding your Mega Pac really useful, however two issues have come up: in the Map app, when I zoom in or out more than once or twice, the app shuts down. This does not happen if I leave the zoom alone. And in the Public Transport app, the method of transportation suggested after Requesting new route cannot be changed, for instance it will suggest using the underground when buses are available. Is there a way to change this? Otherwise, great app.

I bought pro version of all the bundle apps of this author. In the mobile app when I go to create a route, it automatically selects the route. I was not able change the route to reach the same destination. I may not be knowing how to do it. But instead Google Maps work great with Nav Garmin app that is free. Please help me if that facility is available.
7. november 2018 | Versjon 5.0.6
Bought vivoactive 3 knowing it couldnt do navigation by default. This app gave me features i didnt think i would have. I use the app to navigate new running routes and walking in new cities. It is perfect to use your watch in cities as you dont need to pickup your Phone. Routes planner works smooth and using the app to send google maps routes/direction works seamless. The images map doesnt work smooth and at first i was dissapointed but its really not necessary while running or walking. It is when drivning but then i can use my Phone, i think a watch screen is to small for a car GPS. I bought the PRO version. Great app!

Not very quickly but it works. Very good idea. But need to buy the pro version (17,99$) to unlock the map display feature.
15. september 2018 | Versjon 5.0.6
Would not pay for this app. It needs a ton of work. The UI is unintuitive, slow, and not very attractive - blocky graphics and poor choice of color scheme. It lags abruptly, so you might press buttons multiple times thinking it hasn't responded - I ended up deleting a ride this way. All the data, gone. The buttons on the iOS app appear randomly placed (and once again, very unattractive layout). The readout from the sensors is all jammed (again, unintuitively and unattractively) on a single watch face and there doesn't appear to be any way to customize or change this (power is not supported?). I constantly get the "no GPS" warning on screen, and it eats battery. The navigation function appears to work, but honestly there is too much else going on wrong with this app for it to be worth using for this alone.

Thanks for your very constructive feedback. It's really important for us to understand the users' point of view on the app design. We would be glad to have suggestions on how to improve the UI. It seems that you have a good overview of the functionalities, so we would appreciate it if you could suggest better ways to present them. Feel free to contact us through the link on the download page. About the delays, it mostly depends on you watch model. Newer devices tend to perform better. As mentioned in the description, the map images take a while to load because they must be transferred from the phone via Bluetooth, (but I don't think you have tried them, since you decided not to buy the app). The color choice is quite limited on Garmin watches (they have maximally 64 colors, and older watches have 16). So we shouldn't expect them to perform like smartphones with thousands of colors. It was a huge challenge to fit all the provided features in such an app, given all the limitations of the Connect IQ environment. To the best of our knowledge, there's no app in the store with similar features (e.g. route calculation directly on the watch, detailed driving instructions, etc.). We hope you can appreciate our efforts and we count on your support and feedback to improve the app experience. Cheers!

I have yet to use the app. I recently bought a Forerunner 235 (today) and wanted to see if there was a way to plot out a route in an area I am unfamiliar with, hence looking into this app. I have successfully downloaded the app to by phone and my Garmin device and synced it all up. I have created a test route (one which I know) by using the 'route planner'. I have saved this route and tried sending it to my device. On my device, when I navigate to the Maps app, it tells me I need to 'upgrade to pro' to view the map on my Garmin. When I click on the Upgrade to Pro option, I believe it asks for my email (I just navigate through the alphabet with the up and down arrows) and I then assume I should be sent a code to then type into to the device?? This is where I get stuck; I have not seen any emails come through yet and have tried several times and refreshed my account several times. Is the 'Upgrade to Pro' free? Will it allow me to view the created map? Will I receive an email with a code to type in? Am I correct in understanding what this app does? Thanks for all your help.

Hi Edward. Thanks for your review. You should use "Maps r.485", which is a sub-app of the r.485 app pack that you can install on your phone. Please check the links in the app description. When you have the pro version on your phone, you just have to send a route and the app on your watch will be unlocked. No email or code are needed. Read the section "How to unlock" in the user guide for more details. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have more questions. There's a link "contact developer" on the download page, you don't need to write reviews for that. (PS: If you are using an iPhone, you can use "Route Planner + Maps r.485", but make sure to choose "Maps r.485" on the switch).

The popup that I'm using the free version really messes up the ability to test the app. I understand you want some kind of limit, but you seem to forget this is an app actually used in traffic and you're putting people in danger by requiring to tap a few times every time this popup shows up. I had to do that 8+ times on a 5km bike ride. Also every time I have to restart the app it's recalculating from your current location, so can't even tell if it works good on a whole route this way.
26. august 2018 | Versjon 5.0.4
Had some syncing issues but the developer immediately got back to my email and resolved the issue within 10 minutes. Works great now and map detail is excellent.

The Year of Living Generously
Start 2018 on a positive note by volunteering your time for a good cause.
By Katherine Ann Rowlands
Losing 10 pounds or doing a digital detox are perfectly good New Year's resolutions. But how about resolving to give back to your community? Here are a few ideas to get social, get active, and get involved in the East Bay.


text:
There are days when my mind reels with the contradictions around me. I want to scream that it can't all be true at once. For instance, the following arguments cannot be supported side by side without admitting to the most grotesquely immoral of stipulations:
One cannot espouse a pro-life position, defending the rights of the unborn, while simultaneously supporting politicians and state governments that allow health care insurance companies to deny prenatal coverage to many women on the grounds that pregnancy is a preexisting condition.
Stipulation: Some unborn babies have no rights in the service of profit.
One cannot be identified as a freedom loving American demanding liberty while simultaneously denying fellow citizens the freedom of action and choice to protect their life.
Stipulation: My liberty is more important than your life - even if I don't know what the hell I am talking about and believe that all kinds of things are in the Constitution that are not.
One is not a patriot who disrespects and threatens the Commander and Chief of the United States of America.
Stipulation: African Americans cannot be Commander and Chief of the United States of America.
Walking a righteous path requires more than mouthing political talking points and serially vomiting selective and/or misquoted passages from the Bible. Using the head for something other than a showcase for a vicious and destructive mouth is a place to start. Without very much effort a little thought might indicate that two diametrically opposed principles cannot cohabitate in the same truth. One must be a lie.
I have seen a lot of things in my sixty years. I saw a president cut down in the streets of Dallas. I saw a man walk on the moon. I saw human organs transplanted and the fall of Communism. I have seen the Internet, email and Twitter. I have also seen the truth twisted into lies and fall to ashes in the mouth of a self-serving and opportunistic political ideologue. I left the wilderness of youth behind me long ago, and am entering old age and the wisdom of the Goddess. With all I've seen and all I've learned, this I know. There is no power in the world, human or other, that can work the liar's alchemy backward.

Jul '18 – A Philip K. Dick In The Hand Is Worth Two In The Bush….Posted: July 7th, 2018 | Author: Rob Miller | Filed under: A Proper Blog | Tags: Philip K. Dick | No Comments »
(pub. 1964) – Voyager, 1996
Chuck Rittersdorf, a 21st century CIA robot programmer, decides to kill his wife by remote control. He enlists the aid of a telepathic Ganymedean slime mould called Lord Running Clam, an attrective female police officer and various others, witting or unwitting. But when Chuck finds himself in the midst of an interplanetary spy ring on an Alphane moon inhabited entirely by certified maniacs, his personal revenge plans begin to go awry in this brilliantly inventive tale of interstellar madness, murder and violence.
I doubt there's a book that is more completely and utterly Philip K. Dick than this one…. Just imagine, a seceded (Terran) moon colony on Alpha III M2 derived from an abandoned hospital area – over 25 years the clans of the title have separated into groups comprising the several sub-types of mental illness, the 'Heeb', 'Pare' 'Mans', 'Poly', 'Dep' 'Skitz' and 'Ob-Com's. (I'll not delve any deeper into their origins as, as ever, the joy is in PKD's gentle drip drip approach to his terminology and world building.) Meanwhile back on Earth the somewhat directionless Chuck Rittersdorf is programming CIA simulacrums and, as his marriage crumbles – PKD again employs a young temptress in part to help usher our hapless, hopeless, clueless "Joe Blow" on his way – he slowly, via the offer of writing for television, stumbles upon conspiracy within conspiracy. Just who is actually working for who, and quite why, to what ends? There's no pipes connecting the kitchen sink here as for once PKD opts to skip the notion of overlapping or underlying realities, but that doesn't detract in the slightest from what is a highly accessible, imaginative and rewarding read….
… But his eyes. He had an alert yet warm quality; she rose and stood facing him. Over the TV the strength of his gaze did not register. This was not mere intelligence on Bunny's part; this was more, a perception of – she did not know what. And –
All about Bunny an aura hung, an aura of suffering. His face, his body, seemed sopped with it. Yes, she thought, that's what shows in his eyes. Memory of pain. Pain that took place long ago, but which he has never forgotten – nor will he. …
… She smiled, and once again he marvelled at her teeth; they transformed her face, made it beautiful; as long as she smiled and she was delightful to behold, and it seemed to Chuck that this told something about her. The quality of beauty arose from within; inside, she was lovely, and he realized that over the years, as she aged, it would gradually work its way outward, influence the surface. By the time she was thirty or thirty-five she would be radiant. …
(pub. 1965) – Millenium, 2000
Seven years after the day of the bombs, Point Reyes was luckier than most places. Its people were reasonably normal – except for the girl with her twin brother growing inside her, and talking to her. Their barter economy was working. Their resident genius could fix almost anything that broke down. But they didn't know they were harbouring the one who almost everyone left alive wanted killed.
An excellent Philip K. Dick novel (which I first encountered in its truncated form as 'A Terran Odyssey' in the 'We Can Remember It For You Wholesale' short story collection). This time we have everything and the kitchen sink in this tale of a post-apocalyptic California. However, the book has quite a gentle pace and a sunny, pastoral feel, the restructured society, though obviously chaotic, is still mostly beholden to the very same personal troubles that inflict us as individuals (but here it's mixed with a whole host of the furthest-out PKD characters and scenarios). Some of PKD's very best ideas reside here, in what is a hugely satisfying read….
Stuart said , "Now." He knew it was now; he knew that the bombs were going off – he felt them. It seemed to occur inside him. Blam, blam, blam, blam, went the bombs, or perhaps it was the things sent up by the army to help, to stop the bombs; perhaps it was defense. Let me down, Stuart thought. Low as I can be. Let me into the ground. He pressed down, rolled his body to make a depression. People lay now on top of him, choking coats and sleeves, and he was glad; he did not mind – he did not want emptiness around him; he wanted solidness on every side. He did not need to breathe. His eyes were shut; they, and the other openings of his body, his mouth and ears and nose, all had shut; he had walled himself in, waiting.
Blam, blam, blam.
He (Walt Dangerfield) struggled up, disconnected himself from the straps, saw through the port the world below. Clouds, and the ocean, the globe itself. Here and there on it matches were lit; he saw the puffs, the flares. Fright overcame him, as he sailed silently through space, looking down at the pinches of burning scattered about; he knew what they were.
It's death, he thought. Death lighting up spots, burning up the world's life, second by second.
He continued to watch.

Inconsiderate People Never Take Stock Of Other Customers
(We sell printer ink cartridges. As we don't have the space to display them all, we place dummy cards which have the name and price on them. They all have a 'subject to availability' sticker on them).
Customer #1: "Just these two." *places dummy cards*
Me: "I'm afraid we're out of stock on one, sir. Would you like us to order you one?"
Customer #1: "No."
(I proceed to scan the one.)
Me: "Your total is £15, please."
Customer #1: "But what about the other one?"
Me: "As I said, we are unfortunately out of stock."
Customer #1: "Now you listen here! I have, selflessly come in MY OWN time. I have come to YOUR store. Now GET me my INK!"
Me: "I don't know what I can do for you, sir. We haven't got it."
Customer #1: "Well, I'm not moving until I have that ink!"
(He smiles and crosses his arms, keeping eye contact with me. By now, a line has formed behind him.)
Me: "I'm going to have to ask you to leave, sir."
(The customer doesn't speak and continues to stand there. Suddenly, another customer behind him grabs him by the scruff of his neck and turns him around.)
Customer #2: "May I suggest you selflessly go f*** yourself?!"
