Pennsylvania Traffic Violations
Getting pulled over in Pennsylvania can result in serious penalties. Many violations add just two points to your license if you plead or the court finds you guilty. Others add four and five at a time. Accumulate six points on your license, and the state takes additional action. Learn the consequences and how a traffic violations lawyer could help you avoid them.
Serious Moving Traffic Violations and Penalties
Failure to comply with a train crossing gate or barrier earns you four points and a 30-day license suspension in the state. Getting caught going 16 to 25 miles per hour over the speed limit equals four points. Going 26 to 30 over results in five points. And if in a work zone, you also lose your license for 15 days for speeding at those levels. Failure to stop for a school bus with flashing red lights gets you five points and a 60-day suspension.
The state department of transportation offers a full list of Pennsylvania traffic charges and points on its website. In addition to the traffic violations and fees charged, if you reach six points on your license, the state can:
- Make you take a written points exam
- Hold a hearing on your driving record
- Suspend your license
If your actions caused injury to a person or property, the charges can become more serious. They can move from minor to misdemeanor traffic violations and fines—or even felonies.
How a Traffic Ticket Attorney Could Help
A legal professional researches your incident. Many factors could reduce fault or excuse it. This could include a missing speed limit sign or the actions of another driver. A lawyer represents you in court and argues your side of the case.
If you are from out of state, it makes sense to hire a local lawyer. They know the system best. A lawyer from your home state might not be licensed in Pennsylvania.

Serious penalties, such as losing your license, turn life into a hassle. They also impact your wallet. You could face fines and fees. Your insurance rates could go up. You could even lose your coverage altogether. Call now to speak with a traffic violations attorney in Pennsylvania at 877-913-7222.

A/B testing is the process of showing two different variations of a landing page to the same audience in order to determine which variation converts best.
It's important to remember to only change a single element of the page however, as it's the only way to definitively determine what is responsible for differences in conversions.
There is another type of test called "multivariate testing". This is when you change multiple elements on a page at once. This is a different and more complex testing process. If you want to run a true A/B test, remember to only change a single element at a time.
What's the best way to start A/B testing?
When A/B testing, it's always good to start off with a hypothesis. For example, maybe you believe that a landing page targeted at new home owners might convert better if you display a photo of a young family instead of a picture of a house. You could then A/B test two different versions of the page, the first one with a your default picture of a home, and the second with a photo of the young family beside their home.
Variation A (the control):
Variation B:
Compare the effectiveness of both variations over time to see which one achieves a better conversion rate. If one is shown to have greater success, you can select that variation as the winner and proceed to show that as your new landing page.
What factors should I consider when A/B testing?
When A/B testing, try and consider who your users are and what they are searching for. It's recommended to develop buyer personas in order to hone in on your prospective customers objectives and pain points.
For example, say your ideal customer is a young family searching for their first home. You know that they value finding a nice home in a good neighborhood with access to schools, parks, etc. You could play to this desire by A/B testing the form headline change from "Get a tour of Vancouver homes" to "Get a tour of the best new family developments in Vancouver". You could also A/B test variations of the page to include information about schools, community projects, or testimonials from other families who managed to similar first home.
What are some examples of A/B split tests I can run?
Examples of A/B test you could A/B
- Countdown timers vs. no countdown timers
- Changes in background images (person vs. object)
- Using merge tags to put a user's name in a headline vs a static headline
- Action oriented CTA's vs passive CTA's (example: "Start Today" vs. "Start")
- Testimonials vs no testimonial
- Location of the CTA (above the fold vs. below the fold)
For more ideas on A/B tests to run, check our article on 50 A/B split test case studies.
To jump right in here's a quick breakdown of how to create an A/B split test within the landing page builder.
- Step 1: Click "Create an A/B Split Test"
- Step 2: Ensure Variation #2 is selected
- Step 3: Make your change
- Step 4: Save your changes
- Step 5: Monitor your split test results on your main campaign page

Sayaboury Elephant Conservation Center
Sayaboury Elephant Conservation Center
Weathered wood cabins with solar panels and cedar-shake roofs frame the man-made Nam Tien Lake that shimmers like dancing diamonds in the tropical sun of Laos.
I follow the scent of frangipani blooming along the walkway and bordering the lush green jungle beyond, to the dining hall where a donation box invites me to drop an always-welcome coin into the coffers of Laos' first Elephant Conservation Center. In the distance I hear the high-pitched trumpeting of an elephant and seconds later, from the opposite direction, a response.
Sebastien Duffillot and Gilles Maurer, founders of the Center, worked in the Laos logging industry for six years during the 1990s. Before returning to their homes in France, they took a life-changing motorcycle vacation, biking on the Mekong River in Sayaboury province, where the last of the mahouts and 800 domestic elephants were used for logging. After observing the brutal working conditions of the animals, Sebastien and Gilles realized the tragedy behind the rapidly declining population in a land once known as the "land of a million elephants."
Rather than returning to France, the men spent months brooding, researching, discussing and arguing about what could be done for the elephants. They concluded that, as a first step, the Laotian public had to be informed of the disappearing animals and the impact that disappearance was having on their culture.
After fund raising, government lobbying and planning, the first ElefantAsia caravan hit the road in 2002 covering a total of 1300 kilometers between Champassak in the south and Luang Prabang in the north, showcasing four elephants that slowly paraded through the villages demonstrating their skills and their contribution to Laotian culture.
Encouraged by the success of the caravan, Sebastien and Gilles felt they could and would do more. With cooperation from the mahouts they again lobbied government and begged sponsoring organizations such as the American Fish and Wildlife for money to implement a long-term conservation program for domesticated elephants.
Finally, in 2005 they were able to hold the first Elephant Festival with parades that included about sixty elephants. They held workshops and training demonstrations, and gave rides to children. There were talks and pamphlets touting the regal role elephants had once played and they organized the "elephant of the year" contest, which chose the best team of owner and animal in terms of welfare for both.
The events resulted in many Laotian people remembering that historically elephants symbolized fortuity, silent power, kindness and majesty. The necessity of preserving the species and in turn, the Laotian culture itself, became clear.
But success has its difficulties too. Because of the enormous amount of work that needed to be done, Sebastien and Gilles split their organization, with each complimenting the other. Gilles took responsibility for ElefantAsia. He worked with government and mahouts to shorten working hours, to abolish corporal punishment and to offer immediate medical care when injury or sickness arose. Gilles and his organization built a hospital and employed a full-time veterinarian.
Sebastien took over conservation and education. His first objective was finding a home for the animals. He begged non-governmental organizations for financial help and negotiated with government for land that could be used to house and care for orphaned, injured or retired elephants. He employed full time veterinarians and biologists to implement the latest theories of care
In 2011, the land was granted: 106 hectares of jungle surrounding Nam Tien Lake in Sayaboury Province. Sebastien hired local people to build the huts, dining hall and kitchen. He adopted five animals that made the first domestic herd in the country. He opened a school that instructed mahouts in the reward system of management rather than the fear and punishment method.
Gilles and Sebastian also developed a registration system that includes the placing of microchips in the ears of elephants. The chip identifies the animal, its age, sex, owner and any pertinent medical information. The corresponding records are kept at the Department of Livestock in the Ministry of Agriculture and Forests.
When I visited there were six adults and one youngster who were permanent residents. I was far more interested in the management and history of the project than I was in the animals, but I tagged along watching the daily routine.
Under a thatched hut that gave the elephants and me protection from the sun, I watched a mahout with stick in hand make a sound to his elephant while gently tapping the back of her knee. The elephant and the mahout sauntered toward the lake with visitors, staff and biologists in tow.
Tourists riding elephants is discouraged at the Center whereas observation and "soft interaction" is encouraged. Soft interaction includes, at specific times, feeding the animals tufts of their favorite grasses and leaves but mostly learning from observation.
As we walked, Anabel, the resident biologist, discussed the theory of mahout training, telling me how much she loved animals in general and elephants in particular, and giving me a rundown on the day's events.
"We pay mahouts to train here," she explained. "If they didn't get paid the hardship would be too difficult for them and their families so many would bypass the program."
At the lake I watched all seven resident elephants enter the water to romp and splash and blow water onto their backs. Mae Dok, the oldest of the "aunties" as the females of this herd were called, stayed off to the side. She entered the water, but after just a few splashes she exited the lake and stood alone, head pointed toward the jungle.
"She's retired," Anabel said. "She worked long and difficult hours in logging and now behaves like an old lady amongst a group of young girls."
My heart took a slight flip. I kept my eye on her and wished I could give her a peanut like Dumbo got in the movies.
My attention was drawn to the baby of the herd, a four-year-old male called Suriva who played and splashed like all youngsters. Once on shore, he went directly to his mother and nursed. How cute, I thought and followed Anabel up the hill to the socialization area. We climbed onto a tower from where we could watch "normal" elephant behavior as would be encountered in the wild.
Mae Dok, the first to arrive went to the farthest reaches of the coral and pointed her head toward the jungle. This time I just wanted her to wrap my arms around her trunk for a few minutes.
A mahout was on the back of Suriva's mother, Mae Ven, and was directing her away from the socialization pen toward the jungle. She stopped, turned and trumpeted. Suriva responded as most children would and moved towards her but a second mahout stood in the way. Suriva returned to the pen and trumpeted back.
I heard crashing and banging, the splintering of wood and more trumpeting from both mother and child.
"Suriva must be weaned," Anabel explained, grinning at the destruction being wreaked on the jungle by the upset mother.
Being a typical child Suriva soon forgot about the mom's teat and walked over to his aunties for comfort, which they were all too eager to supply. The babe stood between the two females who wrapped their trunks around his, rubbed his head and back, moved even closer and did more trunk hugging. Then auntie took a stick and scratched Suriva's leg. He responded by lifting his leg for more scratches and at the same time, did more trunk hugging.
Mae Dok in the meantime, kept to herself, her head outside the confines of the coral, totally uninterested in comforting Suriva. The joy of the child, the agony of the mother and the heartbreak of the old lady were more than I could take. I now understood how Anabel felt. Elephants were special.
The philosophy of the Center is not about attracting tourists to raise money, but rather about developing a permanent herd of ten to twenty animals that would stay together like they do in the wild. In part, the Center raises funds by taking in paying guests, up to 30 at a time but no more than a dozen new ones a day. This way each person has time for questions and the workers such as Anabel have the time to respond. Or even better, they can show the guests how things work. Children are welcome — they quickly fall in love with the elephants and draw their parents in.
Because of organizations such as these two in Sayaboury people the world over might put enough pressure on the governments to preserve this species.

Greutman Wins Again in Patient Counseling Competition
Morgan Greutman of Clarksville (TX) has done it again.
Greutman, a third year student in the Southwestern Oklahoma State University College of Pharmacy in Weatherford, won the local patient counseling competition in Weatherford for the second straight year and will now advance to the national competition March 28-31 in Orlando (FL). Greutman will receive an all-expenses paid trip.
The competitions are sponsored by the American Pharmacists Association—Academy of Student Pharmacists. In 2013, Greutman finished third runner-up at the national contest held in Los Angeles (CA).
Thirteen SWOSU students competed in the local competition. Each student had the opportunity to counsel a patient on a new prescription medication.
This year's judges were Annie Frymeier, Watonga Indian Health Center; Cassandra Broeckelman, Clinton Indian Health Center Hospital; and Brett Whitehead, El Reno Indian Health Center.

Fascinating dynamics and astonishing efficiency – the new Audi S3 goes straight tro the top of its class. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) takes just 4.8 seconds when equipped with the optional six-speed S tronic (5.2 seconds with the manual transmission); Its electronically governed top speed is 250 km/h (155.34 mph). The new S3 with S tronic consumes on average just 6.9 liters of fuel per 100 km (34.09 US mpg), a CO2 emission of 159 grams per kilometer (255.89 g/mile) (7.0 liters per 100 km [33.60 US mpg], 162 grams per kilometer [260.71 g/mile]). Compared to the previous model with manual gear shift the consumption has fallen 1.5 liters per 100 km (156.81 US mpg). That equates to CO2 emissions of 35 grams per kilometer (56.33 g/mile).
The 2.0 TFSI marks another milestone in the downsizing strategy of Audi. Redesigned from scratch, the only thing it has in common with its predecessor, which was voted "International Engine of the Year" five times in a row, is the displacement of 1,984 cc (bore x stroke 82.5 x 92.8 millimeters, [3.25 x 3.65 in]). The four-cylinder engine is compactly built and weighs just 148 kilograms (326.28 lb), a good five kilograms (11.02 lb) less than its predecessor. At 5,500 rpm there is nominal output of 221 kW (300 hp), at 6,800 revolutions the rev limiter kicks in. From 1,800 to 5,500 rpm it delivers 380 Nm (280.27 lb-ft) of torque.
As a genuine sports engine, the 2.0 TFSI responds spontaneously to commands from the gas pedal. Its sonorous sound becomes particularly intensive when the standard Audi drive select is working in dynamic mode. In this case the engine responds more directly to commands from the gas pedal; with the S tronic gear change the twin clutch reacts in a flash. In the event of greater loads and revolutions per minute the two sound flaps in the exhaust system open, producing an even richer sound. Two balance shafts, which rotate in opposite directions from one another at twice the revolving crankshaft speed, ensure highly efficient mechanical functioning.
Lots of details underscore the high-performance character of the new four-cylinder engine. Modified aluminum pistons and high-strength, re-pivoted piston-rods transfer the forces. The gray cast iron crankcase has been reinforced at the main bearing seats and at the main bearing cover. The cylinder head is made of a new, particularly lightweight aluminum-silicon alloy characterized by high strength and temperature resistance.
The large turbocharger, another newly developed product, is designed for exhaust gas temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees Celsius. With a maximum charge pressure of 1.2 bar it concentrates 1,000 kilograms (2204.62 lb), in other words 850,000 liters (30,017.47 cu ft) of air per hour. An efficient air-air-charge air cooler considerably lowers the temperature of the compressed air, thereby increasing the mass available on combustion, and thus the oxygen content. The electronically-controlled waste gate works extremely quickly and precisely; it reduces the charge cycle work, as under partial load it lowers the basic charge pressure and thus the exhaust gas pressure.
Dual injection: Fit for the future
In many areas of engineering the 2.0 TFSI delivers pioneering solutions from the Audi efficiency module. One of these is additional indirect injection, which complements the FSI direct fuel injection. It reduces consumption and particle emission – the four-cylinder already adheres to the limits, which in the second level of the Euro-6 norm will apply from 2017. The FSI injection, which works at pressures up to 200 bar, is used when starting and at higher greater loads: each of the enlarged injection valves has six holes.
The four cylinders are well filled at all times. The inlet camshaft can be infinitely adjusted through a crank angle of 60 degrees, the outlet camshaft by 30 degrees; moreover, on the outlet side the Audi valvelift system varies the valve lift in two stages. What are known as drumble valves direct the incoming air in a specific direction.
The exhaust manifold is integrated in the cylinder head and has coolant flowing around it – a solution, which lowers the temperature of the waste gas and accelerates the warming of the engine after cold start. With the 2.0 TFSI's innovative thermal management system, two rotary slide valves consolidated in a single module regulate the flow of coolant. They ensure that after ignition the engine oil quickly reaches operating temperature. This way they always achieve the best relationship between minimal friction and high thermodynamic efficiency.
An innovative coating for the piston skirt and the anti-friction bearing of the balance shafts keep friction low, the oil pump operates according to needs. A standard start-stop-system rounds out the efficient technology package.

"Wagner Fine Arts and Stories" trademark became famous on the manufacturers market by creating hand painted porcelain, tea and coffee sets, table sets, jewelry, decorating items and lighting pieces.
The objects are decorated in the classical technique of painting over glazed. The porcelain décor has pigments which are burned at 850 degrees Celsius. They are ennobled by decorating them with precious metals – gold and platinum. The drawings are a combination between Ana Wagner's unique creations and a team effort of all the other artists painting at the workshop from Cotroceni. Blank porcelain replaces the artists' blank canvas or paper. Ana is conceiving the decoration of porcelain objects in a manner which transgresses the classical patterns, although she employs traditional techniques of porcelain painting, as in Sevres or Meissen.
Wagner's porcelain objects are hand signed by each artist with the his or her initials and the year of painting. Likewise, each porcelain object is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity originally hand signed by Ana Wagner.
Wagner manufacture owns also the well known technique of decorating porcelain, called decalcomania. This technique allows the imprint of a bigger series of porcelain objects with porcelain pigment burned at very high temperatures. Thank to this technique, the small manufacture can honor special orders from bigger companies or corporations that order hundreds porcelain objects personalized or trademarked.
Wagner creation studio caters for a varied series of requests: special personalization, creating monograms and applying those on porcelain objects, models based on every client's wish.
The porcelain signed by Wagner is luxury porcelain and art in its purest form and can be transmitted from one generation to another. Purchasing them is an excellent gift idea for Christmas, weddings, anniversaries and other happy moments for you, your family or friends.

Restyle Sweater Sleeves into Leg Warmerscomments (8) November 9th, 2016
If you were able to unravel it, pick up the stitches on small circular needles or DPNs and bind off the edge. If you had to cut it, secure the raw edge on your sewing machine with a zigzag stitch.
I have made these two long pairs so far, but there are a couple more to be finished next week. They look great with a short or long skirt over tights or in warmer climes with bare legs.
What do you think about a pair of chenille leg warmers to wear with a fuzzy robe? What will you make and how will you wear them? How about baby, kid, and dog versions?
After you make this project, show off your work to other members!

When it comes to BBQ, it's hard to find one as authentic as this, with the atmosphere to boot.
The pulled pork sandwich is a family favorite as well as the salmon, and according to my friend Blaine who is from the south and knows southern BBQ – the food was perfection. The sides are luscious and the cornbread is more like a dessert. We've never been able to get there on a Thursday night for the prime rib special, but that is our goal. Last time we were there, the people at the next table were eating the turkey tips and raving about them, so I'll probably try them next.— Kathy R.
Good Food, Reasonable Prices
This is one of the better BBQ places I've found in New England…good food, reasonable prices for the amount you get (good sized portions). Unfortunately, there does not exist a place in New England like I frequented when I lived in the south, but this is as close as you will come in a restaurant around here. — Sharon P.
Honky Tonk Deliciousness
Prepare to eat when you come here …
Prepare to eat when you come here. It's out of the way and looks like it's in a mostly residential area, but is absolutely amazing. Anyone who says that they didn't like the food cannot possibly actually like barbecue. The ribs are amazing, the corn bread is massive, the mac and cheese is great, the mashed potatoes delicious, and we ended with some really good key lime pie. It has a very homey atmosphere and quite casual – plastic plates and utensils, paper cups, and popcorn and peanuts to eat while you wait for your meal. Great for smaller groups, no reservations necessary, also adorable for a date if you're both into racks of meat! — Jill C.

Renting with youngsters is sometimes difficult. Numerous property owners will not arrive right out and refuse you because of the youngsters, but they might find another reason so they do not discriminate against you for having children. Children are hard on apartments and homes. You can have drawing on the actual walls, fires, surging, toys down the bathroom and the noise inside and outside. Not that children are negative, children are wonderful, but some property owners do not want down to have to worry about what might happen if someone has youngsters.
If you are renting along with children, you have to have adequate room for the children to have bedrooms to sleep in and enough space to allow them to live comfortably. If you have an upper flat and kids, you will have to keep them quite so they do upset the particular downstairs tenants. Most people with children try to lease lower flats or perhaps a house to prevent this problem. This is always one thing to keep in mind.
Children are sometimes mischievous and can unknowing lead to further problems. Property owners shy away from hiring to families with small children because there are several things that can happen along with young children. If you have small children, it is a good idea to spell out that you do keep an eye on all of them at all times. Adults that smoke with small children are high risk at anytime. Children who locate a lighter and want to try out it start much more fires. If you smoke chances are, a property proprietor may not rent to you personally for that reason, but also as they do not want anyone smoking cigarettes in the house or condo. These are some things to bear in mind when looking for a place to reside.
If you have children, some property owners may ask for an additional amount of money on the security deposit. This can be however, refundable if nothing is wrong with the condominium or house once you leave. It is always a good idea to keep a supervision on children any time renting so that practically nothing does happen that really needs repair. As long as you have enough space for the children and yourself to live comfortably, leasing can be just as comfy as owning. You need to do however need to have enough room as essental to law when hiring with children. This is often a problem if you have three to four children in a small a few bedroom apartment or perhaps house.
If you rent an apartment or house and also have older children who return to the nest, choosing wise to discuss this particular with the property owner prior to they find out. They might raise your monthly hire to accommodate for the extra person on the property. This is common training, since you are the only one around the lease at the time of hiring the apartment. Older children that visit for any week or two are not regarded living with you, but any longer than which, you will need to discuss with the home owner before issues arise from another person living on the office space.

Modern life throws many challenges to us; from dawn to dusk, we are running to achieve something. Our professional and personal aims never allow us to settle. We need to interact with people – directly or indirectly.
While face-to-face interaction hardly takes place during weekends, it is largely indirect interactions that we enjoy on our smart devices. For these virtual meetings, you need to energize yourself as well as your communication devices.
And therefore, makers of accessories come up with unique products. 1byone has crafted two beautiful protective cases for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s users. One is a battery case for iPhone 6 and other is a simple, easy to grip protective case for iPhone 6 and 6s.
1byone Rainbow iPhone 6 Battery Case
As mentioned above, we are constantly running for something. During our serious endeavors, we hardly notice that our devices too are running, but they are running short of battery. Hence, a battery case can be your reliable companion while you are on the go. 1byone can give you an edge over other battery cases made for iPhones.
Quickly charge your iPhone
In this fast-paced age, you can't afford to stay behind. Even if it is your battery case, it should charge your iPhone as fast as possible. 1byone iPhone 6 battery case does just the job. Apart from protecting your precious phone, this battery case charges your iPhone at lightning speed. The case is powered by 3100mAh Li-polymer rechargeable battery, which gives 100% extra battery life to your iPhone 6. This will further allow you to enjoy talk time of more than 14 hours and web browsing time of over 10 hours.
Please note that due to additional batteries being charged, the overall charging process will take longer than charging just the iPhone 6 alone.
Design & Color
How good it is if you could charge your iPhone 6 without taking the case off? Experience this benefit that you can't get from any other battery case. One more benefit is that you can charge your iPhone 6 as well as this battery case simultaneously. This happens due to its amazing design that helps you use this product to the full. Colors can impress you in more than one way. Give your eyes a visual treat by 7 changeable frames of red, black, white, yellow, blue, green and pink colors. Doll up your iPhone 6 differently on each day of the week. Flaunt a different color and make your friends & colleagues jealous. If you want to use all the colors in a single day, change the frame according to your mood.
Aesthetics alone wouldn't satisfy any iPhone lover. Beauty can be vulnerable but strength can sustain the vagaries of time. And therefore, this 1byone iPhone 6 battery case boasts 360-degree comprehensive bumper design. The battery case is made of hard-shell back plate, which safeguards your iPhone from scratches and other routine minor accidents. However, this robust build doesn't take toll on convenience of keeping your iPhone in your hand or in pocket. Finally, no more worries about short-circuit as protective IC circuit avoids any such situation. The battery case is made to resist extreme conditions like over-charge and malfunction.
For a communication device that beats all competitors in technical excellence, you need accessories that are equally sound in technology. 1byone battery case for iPhone 6 has sync-through technology; with this feature, an iPhone 6 user can sync his iPhone to a computer or laptop without removing battery case from the device. Moreover, with its micro USB cable, users can charge iPhone and battery case at the same time.

1ByOne iPhone 6/6s Protective Bumper Case
1byone presents iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s protective case that provides ultimate protection to your smartphone. This case gives you easy-to-grip flexible soft touch, unique design, new material, sufficient protection, dedicated workmanship and custom-made vision.
Unique Design
Many accessories brands claim to have crafted unique designs, but a few can fulfill their promises. Not in the case of 1byone. This protective case walks the walk, i.e. it keeps the promise it made. You can use this case as protection to your iPhone and to keep your credit cards; it can be a good substitute of your wallet. The protective case flaunts a refined two-piece sliding design, vivid colors, and long-lasting protection, and that is what you want to have for your iPhone. The case is available in two eye-catching colours: Mint and Red.
A product's success depends on the material used to manufacture it. If the product is made of fragile raw material, it is certainly going to find itself in a trashcan very soon. 1byone has crafted this iPhone 6/6s protective case with non-slippery and dirt-resistant material; this provides the case a good touch-feel and long life. The soft fabric interior of this case provides protection to your iPhone against scratches and tears of daily life. Its semi-flexible material and form fitting guard your phone from shock. At the same time, the case holds your iPhone 6/6s tightly.
When it comes to protection, every consumer is ready to shell out more money. But guys, you fret not! 1byone doesn't burn a hole in your pocket and still provides your iPhone sufficient 360-degree protection; this includes protection for each side, every corner and full screen protection. Its frame keeps the iPhone screen safe; the edges of this case embrace your phone in such a way that even if you put your phone facedown on a flat surface, its screen will not get scratched or damaged.
Appreciate the workmanship in this iPhone 6/6s protective case. There are so many things that go into making a humble protective case. Precise cutout is the need of the hour, because if consumers are not able to access to buttons, controls, speakers and ports easily, the very purpose of buying a protective case is killed. 1oneby protective case offers perfect fit for your iPhone 6/6s; you can comfortably access all controls quickly. Thanks to its dedicated workmanship!

With a yearly growth rate of 2500%, Middle East North Africa's (MENA) online audience is currently one of the fastest growing online segments. However, a huge disparity exists between the number of online MENA Arabic users and the Arabic content available online.
Despite the growing Arab Internet user base, the number of localized Arabic sites and sites with original Arabic content and remains low. In 2012, only 1 in 20 Fortune 500 websites had Arabic content, and only 1 in 4 top 100 global brands offered Arabic versions of their sites, according to a CSA report.
The ability to write in Arabic, a process that goes from right to left, is also limited to the availability of online bidirectional text platforms. Due to the scarcity of bidirectional text platforms, most Arabic users are forced to use English or Arabizi, a form of Arabic conveyed through latin characters and European numerals. This fragmentation of language further complicates the process of consolidating and indexing online Arabic content for search engines.
Efforts to bridge the Arabic language gap on the web have been spearheaded by the government and a number of private companies. Google has promoted the expansion of Arabic web content through Arabic Web Days and since 2012, annually recognizes National Arabic Web Day on 12/12. Taghreedat attempts to localize popular web platforms like Wikipedia, Twitter, TED, and Coursera with their volunteer based translation network. And Yamli tackles the complications of searching the web in Arabic. Noura Al Kaabi prominently leads government initiatives to "build an Arabic-language media empire" through the media organization twofour54 (Abu Dhabi's geographical coordinates).
Internationalized Domain Names (IDN), which allow users to register domain names in their native language, have also been used as a platform for claiming Arabic language online identity. Regional councils, like ictQatara and SaudiNIC, offer the region specific Arabic domains .قطر and .السعودية, while a task force on Arabic Scripts IDN has emerged to resolve the technical challenges of accessing and registering Arabic domains.
Efforts to promote online Arabic content is most visible on social media channels, primarily Facebook, Google+, and Twitter, where Arabic is slowly overtaking English as the predominant online language and interface in MENA regions. These social media platforms are also increasingly embraced as a primary source of news, a 2013 MENA regional study by Bayt.com and the Dubai School of Government revealed that nearly 28% of Arabs actually prefer social media as their primary source of news.
While the migration to digital advertising has been slower than other mature markets, digital advertising is gaining traction in MENA and growing at a rate of 35% a year. The changing demographics of the web and behavior of the Arab digital generation are especially significant for international marketing and are topics that Criterion Global is closely following for 2014.
Featured graph illustrating Internet usage among the Arab digital generation is from Booz & Company – Google Arab Digital Generation Survey 2012.
CRITERION GLOBAL is an international media planning and buying consultancy specializing in travel/hospitality, retail, and luxury consumer brands worldwide. With offices in New York City, Miami Beach, and Mumbai, Criterion Global has executed campaigns across 37 different countries.

I imagine I'm not the
only one who is feeling this way, but my god does it grind my gears to hear the
words 'Cesc Fabregas', 'joining' and 'Manchester United' in the same sentence,
especially when those suck-asses at Sky Sports News are practically gagging for
him to make Old Trafford his new stomping ground.
Just the sound of those words makes me want to bathe in a
bath of piranhas or staple my bottom lip to the kitchen table. Ok maybe that
wasn't needed, but reading the coverage from media outlets who even have the
audacity to suggest that Cesc would join the David Moyes revolution (snigger) makes
me sick to my stomach.
If you were to believe Sky Sports then you would think that
Fabregas is desperate to join United, hates Barcelona, wouldn't even consider a
return to Arsenal and that him ending up Manchester is the best possible thing
that could happen to this planet. Better than ending war, better than finding a
cure for cancer, better than the talent possessed by Kate Upton to look
devastatingly attractive in anything, everything and nothing.
From just reading Tweets, you can sense the smugness of
Manchester United fans about the thought that they are bidding for our former
hero. But that is all they are doing; bidding.
Well I've got news for you Mancs, YOU. WILL. NOT. SIGN.
Clear enough? Even for the thickest of United fans, I'm
pretty sure that the above statement is understandable.
Yes I know that we adored Robin van Persie and they snatched
him from us last year but those were completely different circumstances. The
Dutchman had one year left on his deal, didn't look to be signing a new one,
and United gave us a cracking transfer fee for him. Hell, he had even said that
he wanted to stay after we had recruited Lukas Podolski, Olivier Giroud and
Santi Cazorla, but there was too much water under the bridge at that stage.
Fabregas is different. Completely different. And not only do
I think that Cesc would reject the chance to move to United, but I believe that
he will in fact be an Arsenal player before the end of August.
Why I hear you say? Well, I'll tell you.
Gunners Town Top 5: Reasons why Cesc Fabregas will return to Arsenal this summer
5. Home Sweet Home?
When Fabregas left us in 2011 to return "home" to the Camp
Nou, it was easy to understand his reasoning. He didn't leave for money or
after a falling out with the club or anything like that. He wanted to play for
the team that he had grown up dreaming of playing for. Barcelona gave him the
chance, and Arsenal reluctantly accepted it.
It's no secret that Cesc was, and probably still is, a huge
fan of then-manager Pep Guardiola, and he was a fan of the Arsenal skipper. He
was deployed in a role that he was in favour of and everything seemed to be
going well for Fabregas.
However, that all changed once Guardiola decided to jack it
in and pack his bags for New York. In came Tito Vilanova, and in came the
change of the Catalan life of Fabregas. Proceedings at the club weren't the
same for Cesc once Pep left, and he was frequently played out of his comfort
zone, and that's even if he made it off the bench instead of being forced to
watch Andres Iniesta, Xavi and Sergio Busquets hog the midfield berths.
Various statements have been released and repeated with
quotes from Cesc saying that he is happy, but what do you expect him to say?!
After he fought for so long to return to Barca, he is hardly going to wind up
the fans by kicking up a shit storm and demanding to leave.
Barcelona isn't doing it for Cesc at the moment, and in all
likelihood, I'm not sure that will change in a hurry.
4. World Cup Year
Going back to the point about game time, and there isn't a
year that is a more crucial occasion to be getting match action than the year
leading up to a World Cup. Cesc is being kept out of the Barca team by three of
his Spanish teammates, who are more than likely to occupy the midfield
positions for Vicente del Bosque's team in Brazil.
While admittedly Barca have a lot of competition for places,
Spain has a lot more. You only have to look and see the likes of Mikel Arteta
and Juan Mata (at times) missing out on selection to realise just how
jam-packed with quality the Spanish midfield is at the moment. The list goes on
and on of quality players that are vying to play for La Roja, and Cesc
certainly faces a challenge to stake his claim for a spot.
He needs more game time than he is getting at Barca, and he
would be the first name on the team sheet should he come back to Arsenal.
Returning to North London represents the best chance for Fabregas to impress
before heading out to South America in 2014, and he knows that.
3. Money is no
There are two sides to this reason. The first is the
well-documented fact that Arsene Wenger has a shed load of dough to blow this
summer. Whether you believe that we have the £100m transfer warchest or the
£70m transfer kitty, it is clear that we have financial power this window. I
couldn't see Fabregas being sold for more than £40m, I'm not saying that he is
worth that, less or more, but that's the fee I'd imagine it would take to prise
him away from Catalonia.
Secondly, we have a buy-back agreement with Barca. Whether
it is £25m or £35m I'm not entirely sure, but we certainly have a set fee that
we can trigger his release clause with.
Now this is the really interesting bit, this is where it
gets all good and juicy. Barca still owe us money. Money from the original sale
of Fabregas, as well as money for us giving them Alex Song last summer. It is
believed that they still need to pay Arsenal around £18m, so Wenger could potentially
need to part ways with just £7m. Leaving a HUGE amount of money at his disposal
to put towards other targets.
It's doable alright.
2. Family Love for
If you didn't already know, Fabregas has a new baby daughter. Cesc is head over heels in love with Daniella
Semaan and is a proud, proud father of daughter Lia. Daniella lives in London
and if you follow her on Instagram then you will have noticed that she couldn't
think of anything better than for Cesc to move back to the English capital.
What's more is that Cesc's sister also recently moved over
to these shores, and isn't expected to be the last Fabregas to do so. Cesc is
also a massive fan of London, and having just become married and a father, he
may want to settle down somewhere where they are all comfortable. From what
I've been told, Daniella has had enough of commuting to Barcelona and Cesc is so taken with
her that he may just grant her the wish she desires and relocate back to
1. Once a Gunner,
Always a Gunner
Now to the main reason that Fabregas will be touching down
in N5 before long; he frickin loves Arsenal. He has frequently described Wenger
as a second father to him and absolutely loves the Frenchman to bits. He loves
the fans, the city, and everything about the club. You could tell that from the
way he played for us. He was proud to be the Arsenal captain, played with his
heart on his sleeve and with a burning passion to give his all for the cause on
the pitch.
He famously Tweeted before saying "Once a Gunner, always a
Gunner", and you mean to tell me that he is going to be joining Manchester
United this summer? Behave. From what I've heard, his agent Darren Dein has
been pushing him to move to Old Trafford for the heavy-duty wonga that could
head his way, but Cesc is having none of it. He knows where his loyalties now.
Cesc has two teams in his life; one is Barcelona who he
thought was his home, the other is Arsenal who he has since realised is his
It may not happen today, tomorrow or even this week but I'd
recommend that you put money on Fabregas pulling on the red and white of
Arsenal this year.
Do you agree? What do you think will happen to Cesc
this summer?
Let me know by Tweeting me or leaving a comment at

Thanks for reading, and never forget that you're a

It's a while since I've been here, but I thought I'd pop along and see if there is anybody out there?
I may well pop along and post the odd item that is probably not related to walking, just to keep things ticking along and separate and to help clear my mind. It does get very messy in there from time to time and I should sort through it from time to time.
At this time, we are nearing the end of the second week of the summer school holidays and my mother has just left to return home after her stay with us. I'm sorry, but I'm glad to have my home back. We can relax and be ourselves, be normal, fight, laugh, love and cry, just as we like. The relief. The peace!
After the disaster of the car breaking down on the way back from our recent trip to Edinburgh and David having to waste so much leave over the last week, it doesn't look like we'll be going away this year. I'm gutted. Our eldest, Rhiannon, won't join us anymore any way, but I still really look forward to our family camping trip and it's not fair that we'll have to give it a miss this year. Unless we win the lottery or have some other unexpected windfall, we'll just have to wait.
Having said that, David and I will still be getting out in a tent. We are supervising another Duke of Edinburgh Expedition next week, the Rangers attached to the Guide unit I help at are doing their Silver Qualifier.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - At least nine people were killed and 32 injured on Thursday when a tour bus carrying high school students collided with a FedEx truck in Northern California, a California Highway Patrol (CHP) spokeswoman said.
The crash happened after the driver of the truck lost control of the vehicle, crossed over a divider on Interstate 5, hit a passenger vehicle and then the tour bus, CHP spokeswoman Fran Clader said.
Clader said the bus was carrying high school students and other passengers to Humboldt State University for a tour. The crash took place near the community of Orland, about 95 miles north of Sacramento.
She said 32 of the injured were taken to hospitals in the area. Their condition was not immediately known.
A spokeswoman for FedEx Corp said the company was aware of media reports that one of its trucks had crashed into a tour bus in California.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved in the tragic accident on I-5 in California," said spokeswoman Bonnie Kourvelas.
She said the condition of the truck's driver was unknown.
"We are cooperating fully with authorities as they investigate," Kourvelas said.

Textile traders have opposed the tax proposal of Delhi Government where a 5 per cent tax has been levied on all kind of textile and fabrics except khadi and handloom.
"Wholesalers tell me that with the raw material costing 5 per cent more, the finished products would cost 5 per cent more too. Buyers would look at Gurgaon and other parts of Haryana because of this and Delhi would lose its distribution character," President, Khan Market Traders' Association, Sanjiv Mehra was quoted by TNN in saying.
President, Sarojini Nagar Traders' Association, Pramod Kumar was quoted by TNN is saying "The customers would have to bear the higher tax on both the raw material and finished product. It's a double whammy."
Member of The Textile Association (India), J B Soma, has said that the traders would write to the Government to roll back the hike. Traders have also mentioned that other manufacturers in Surat, Mumbai, Malegaon, Erode, Gorakhpur, Kanpur, Amritsar and Ludhiana are not paying an tax on textiles or fabrics.
"I think it's plain irrational to slash tax on ready-made garments that cost over Rs 5,000 to 5 per cent, but levy 12.5 per cent tax on cloth that costs Rs 50," Mehra was quoted by TNN in saying

About Dr. Jaime Parker
Jaime Parker, PhD, LPC, NCC
Registered Play Therapist
Let's strengthen relationships and foster personal resiliency through therapy. We can all become stuck from time to time. We can be stuck in patterns of behavior, life circumstances, thoughts, communication habits, and much more. Your journey through counseling offers you the opportunity to gain awareness and develop deeper insight into that feeling of "stuck." This journey looks very different depending on your age and presenting concerns. Sometimes therapy may look like problem solving, other times it may look like an unbiased, non-judgmental space to discuss concerns.
My Approach to Counseling:
I believe that each person has their own story to tell and that they are the expert in their story. I like to use traditional and non-traditional methods with all ages in counseling sessions, such as creative, play-based activities, to keep communication open and engagement maximized. Sometimes, people struggle to find the words to express themselves; play-based activities can be the key to unlocking insight. I rely on strengths-based interventions, narrative therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, person centered therapy, and solution-focused therapy.
My Experience:
With nearly a decade of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families, I have helped clients address depression, anxiety, attention deficit and hyperactive behaviors, social difficulties, adjustment difficulties, behavior difficulties, anger, grief, divorce, and parenting concerns. I have worked in a variety of settings including military bases, schools, clinics, and private practice. I have also worked as an adjunct instructor at the graduate level teaching child and adolescent courses.
My Credentials:
I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Millsaps College (2005), a Master's degree in Organizational Counseling from William Carey University (2008), and a PhD in Counselor Education (2012) from the University of New Orleans. My dissertation research involved assessment of attachment relationships and play therapy interventions utilized by play therapists. I am a Mississippi Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC #1479). I am also recognized as a Registered Play Therapist which is earned through at least 500 hours of play therapy specific supervised experience and over 100 hours of play therapy education.
My Specialties:
I specialize in work with trauma, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, anxiety, and attachment. Training in each of these areas has prepared me to offer focused services and advanced knowledge. Additionally, I incorporate Play Therapy into my work with children, adolescents, and adults. I have extensive experience with the military population, as well.
I am happiest spending time with my husband and two children and extended family. I am a native of the MS Gulf Coast and I am proud to serve the residents of our area.
Services and Fees:
I offer Child Therapy, Teen/Young Adult Therapy, and Adult Therapy.. I accept Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance and private pay. Please check with your insurance regarding deductibles and co-pays for individual psychotherapy (60 minutes) and individual psychotherapy (45 minutes). If you choose to self pay, I can provide a statement of services for you to submit to your insurance carrier for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Please call your insurance company to determine whether out-of-network therapy sessions are reimbursed.
Upon scheduling your first appointment, I will email a link to you. Please follow the link to securely complete the forms prior to your intake session. These forms must be completed before I can see you at the first session.
Please contact me at 228-282-0604 for a free phone consultation or to schedule an appointment. If I do not answer, please leave a voicemail.

There is no doubt that the fitness market is becoming more saturated with personal trainers, and as a result, their clients are becoming more selective.
PTs who take time to analyse the current climate are recognising the limitations of business models which are predominantly focused on physical performance, and are shifting to models which focus on the overall wellness of clients. In doing so, they are identifying opportunities for developing a stronger marketing strategy, and key to this strategy is massage therapy.
Benefits of massage therapy
Massage therapy involves the manipulation of superficial and deeper layers of soft tissue using a diverse range of techniques, to enhance physical function, support recovery, aid in the healing process, and promote general relaxation and well-being. Whether you choose to open your own business, work in a health club or alongside a sports team, being massage-qualified is a great way to increase client retention and provide an additional revenue stream to your personal training business.
How can massage help PT?
Massage is a natural up-sell for PT clients – not only can it boost recovery and support rehabilitation, it enhances well-being – all of which serve as a great retention tool. The integration of fitness and massage can also give rise to a number of creative options for packaging services to not only attract new clients, but also retain existing ones.
Many PTs find themselves referring clients to other professionals for aches/pains and musculoskeletal issues - which ultimately results in loss of earnings. Massage can help PTs work consistently with their clients without the interruption of injury. Not only will this help the client to achieve their goals, it will allow the trainer to maintain their income.
Integrating massage therapy into your business
It's no surprise that many PTs train the majority of their fitness clients earlier in the day or in the evening. With this in mind, massage therapy may help to fill the rest of the day, and can even be promoted as a post-exercise recovery plan.
By endorsing the mind-body aspect of your business, massage skills will also help your business stand out from the competition. Taking a holistic approach that markets massage as both part of your business, and business culture, will create a strong marketing hook for total well-being, not just physical performance.

Just wonder if anyone else has experienced similar problem?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Thanks for the post. Can I check what models of iphone you were using? Do you recall, was the ad something new or a familiar one?

@EA_David Thank you for the reply.
This happened on both the 6s and 7Plus. Fault shows up with WiFi and 4G connection. It happened with a variety of ads, new and old. I am in UK (England).
I think there might have been a glitch on the system or it was related to location. I took both iphones to a friend's house later in the evening and it seemed to work ok again. I will keep this page open for now and hope I can close it early next week if issues are not repeated.
Bug has not recurred. I suspect there was just an issolated glitch.
I suspect the issue is not with your phone but at the server end. Guess you will just need to try watching the adds for rewards at a later time. Just out of interest, what platform of OS or device are you using?

|Nelson Aquino de la Rosa
|September 6, 1968
Dominican Republic
|October 22, 2006
Providence, Rhode Island
|Other name(s)
|Years active
|Jennifer De Leonel
Nelson Aquino de la Rosa (September 6, 1968 – October 22, 2006), a.k.a. Mahow, was one of the shortest men of the twentieth and twenty first centuries and an actor from the Dominican Republic. Nelson measured 71 centimeters tall (about 2 feet 4 inches).
De la Rosa starred in a 1987 feature Italian horror film made in Dominican Republic called Ratman[1]. During the 1990s Nelson continued his path to international success by becoming a staple guest at Venevision's television show Sabado Sensacional in Venezuela, and, later on, he would be invited as a guest to Don Francisco's show, Sábado Gigante, and to other Univision shows. His popularity took him to other Hispanic countries such as Argentina, where he featured several times in Susana Gimenez show, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Spain and others. He married, and had a son.
He had a minor role in the Hollywood production, The Island of Dr. Moreau, where he shared lines with Marlon Brando, among others. This role is said to be the inspiration for the Austin Powers movie character, "Mini-Me". Another very popular appearance was in the video for the song Coolo by the Argentine hip hop group Illya Kuryaki and the Valderramas. De la Rosa had been approached by many American media operators and television shows, such as ESPN and others, for a feature about his life. So far, however, no plans to film a documentary about him have been completed.
De la Rosa befriended then Boston Red Sox pitcher and fellow Dominican, Pedro Martínez, who began to take de la Rosa to playoff games as a good luck charm during the 2004 MLB playoffs. He was often referred to as "Pedro's Midget."
He was a main attraction in the "Hermanos Mazzini" and "Las Águilas Humanas" circuses, which marketed him as the Guinness World Record-holder for world's smallest man at 54 cm (21.25 inches),[2] though this organization does not endorse this claim.[3]
While no official diagnosis of the cause of de la Rosa's short stature is known, it has been speculated that he was born with the genetic syndrome MOPD II (microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II). The primary symptoms of the syndrome include extreme proportional short stature, as well as distinct facial features similar to those exhibited by Nelson de la Rosa. A recent documentary by Granada Television highlighting the syndrome was aired on TLC several times in 2006. There are approximately 100 known cases of MOPD II in the world at this time, spread throughout various races and ethnic backgrounds. He also went by the American name of Phil Stone while acting in the U.S.
He died at the age of 38, October 22, 2006 in Providence, Rhode Island, USA, reportedly from heart failure. He is survived by his wife, Jennifer De Leonel, and nine-year-old son.[4] His remains were transferred to the Dominican Republic, and buried in the Cristo Redentor cemetery.

TALL AND STRIKING (imagine a more debonair, calmly coifed Edward Scissorhands) Joseph Keckler stood in the middle of a stage, rehearsing his new work, "I am an Opera." "Then there's a Minotaur," he explained to an observer. "He turns out to be a delightful companion."
The largely autobiographical, often fantastically framed mix of song, text and video resists neat summations — much like its creator, whose artistic output draws from theater, music, performance and visual art. "I am an Opera," which will have its premiere on Friday at Dixon Place on the Lower East Side, has been nearly two years in the making and has garnered no small amount of buzz along the way.
The piece ties together Mr. Keckler's diverse inclinations, and stems in part from his galvanizing discovery that the virtuosity of his operatic voice somehow worked as a way to deliver everyday stories. "I always thought it would be cheesy," he said.
Mr. Keckler, 28, grew up in a small town in Eastern Michigan. He always had a theatrical bent. As a child he staged accidents on the front lawn, positioning his body under a tricycle; the rule was he had to stay there until a concerned driver stopped.
At the University of Michigan, Mr. Keckler studied with the performance artist Holly Hughes and the tenor George Shirley.
After graduating, he headed to New York, taking on odd jobs while working his way into the club scene. A classically trained singer, he has performed widely, including at the New Museum, Joe's Pub and Performance Space 122. This spring, in addition to "I am an Opera," he will appear on the BBC America show "The Nerdist."
Claudia La Rocco chatted with the quietly charming and bright Mr. Keckler at a cafe around the corner from Dixon Place, about singing the blues and dying on stage. These are excerpts from their conversation.
Q. How did you get into opera?
A. As a teenager I was interested in being a visual artist and being a blues singer. But I was very aggressive as a vocalist. I would blow out my voice. I grew up listening to Bessie Smith, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Cab Calloway and Aretha Franklin. So I wanted to become a white androgynous blues singer. Then I started training my voice so that I could make it through more than one song.
You were drawn to the strictness of opera technique?
Yes. I want to be completely legitimate as a singer. I don't want it to be 'O.K., couldn't quite cut it as an opera singer, so he had to do performance art.' It always bothered me that Laurie Anderson said she wasn't good enough to be a professional violinist. I thought, I wish that Laurie Anderson were good enough, and that she still was Laurie Anderson.
What's been your trajectory in New York?
I started working at the Guggenheim as an audio guide salesperson for $8 an hour. I started performing at places like the old Galapagos, and also doing experimental theater things at Here, and then moved back into solo text-based performance. I started doing some roles at the Amato Opera on Bowery, at the same time. I once had to die on stage at the beginning of the opera, and then come back as the statue that takes Don Giovanni to hell. But in the middle I went down the street to the old Dixon Place and did a two-person experimental play.
How do you define yourself?
Lately I've been working with "interdisciplinary artist," which is a vague identity. People come up to me and say 'Oh you're really a conceptual artist.' I'm not saying I'm a conceptual artist; I'm saying I'm a bewildered person who does things. I like traversing different forms. [Slyly smiles.] I would like to infiltrate the mainstream.

WELLINGTON (Reuters) – Roberto Bautista Agut won the Auckland Classic for his third ATP title on Saturday after Jack Sock retired ill while trailing 6-1 1-0 in the final of the Australian Open warm-up tournament.
Sock had complained of suffering flu-like symptoms when he stunned four-times champion and world number eight David Ferrer in the semi-finals on Friday and the 23-year-old American was unable to get around the court to make a contest of the final.
Bautista Agut, whose previous titles came in 2014 when he was voted most improved player on the ATP tour, had reached the title-decider by coming from a set down to upset French second seed Jo Wilfried Tsonga.
After starting the match with two double faults, the 26-year-old Spaniard picked up where he left off against world number 10 Tsonga and raced through the first set in 20 minutes of one-sided tennis against the clearly ailing Sock.
The American had lost the opening set in his quarter-final against Kevin Anderson, and in his semi against top seed Ferrer, but there was no way back on Saturday and he called it quits after losing his first service game in the second stanza.
Bautista Agut, ranked 25th in the world, will open his fifth Australian Open main draw campaign on Monday or Tuesday against Slovakia's Martin Klizan, who withdrew from this week's Sydney International with a shoulder injury.
Sock, who was looking for his second career title, will be hoping to play his opening round match at Melbourne Park against a qualifier on Tuesday to give him time to recover from the virus.
