|Friends to the End
With Ellie being the driving force of the game, game play and story are fairly different than the main campaign, but still very much in the same vein. You still will have to seek out supplies, craft items and take out enemies, but as Ellie, which leads to it's own limitations, making the game feel so familiar yet so different at the same time. Even in sections I knew were simply story driven, I found myself falling back into my old routine of scouring each level while trying to get all the optional conversations and keep up with Riley. These combat driven sections are also much less emphasized, and rightfully so, because the story is what drives the chapter. Despite this shift, fans of the original will feel right at home.
|Still Full of Magical Moments
As much fun as the combat is in Left Behind, the story it tells is what really makes it a worthy addition to the franchise. The story is very different from the main campaign, but it's that reason alone that it hits so hard. Seeing a more vulnerable side of Ellie is welcome, especially since she is acting more 'herself' around Riley, who is her age and also a good friend compared to Joel, who is more like a father figure to her. There isn't too much that can be said because the story is full of so many small surprises that I would hate to ruin it for anyone willing to play. Suffice it to say that the story is different, but in all the best ways possible.
My total completion time was a little over 3 hours, and for the $15 it is totally worth it. If you are a fan of the game looking for more, dive in. Don't even think about it. Don't even finish reading this sentence. Go. It is worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is my first time arranging a Cremation with you, what do I need to do?
Aaron's Low Cost Cremation & Funeral Services takes all the same procedures as every other funeral home or cremation service. Whether you have had the responsibility of doing this before or this is your first time, our staff is here to guide you every step of the way and help answer all your questions.
Who can arrange a cremation for the deceased?
Under Florida law the "Next of Kin" or a Legal Representative has the utmost authority to arrange for a cremation. Anyone without this authority, who arranges a cremation without the written consent of the NOK or Legal Representative is committing a 2nd degree felony and may face severe legal repercussions.
What should I do if the death occurs in the middle of the night or on the weekend?
*If someone has passed away and they are under a Doctors, Nurses, or Hospice care, have one of them call us. Some hospitals require the Next of Kin to sign a "Release Authorization" to allow us to bring the deceased into our care.
**If someone has passed away unattended please contact the Police Immediately. Once they pronounce the Time of Death, give them our number and we will take it from there. After we gather all the information needed to bring the deceased into our care, we will contact the Next of Kin or Legal Representative.
Our Immediate Helpline is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to help.
Will you come right away?
If we are given permission to send our removal team, yes. If the family wishes to spend time with the deceased to say good bye, that's fine too. We will come when you are ready.
My loved one is in your care, when will I have them back?
Contrary to some people's belief, cremation does not take place the next day after someone has passed. The State of Florida regulates the cremation process and there are many legal steps we need to follow before we receive "Authorization to Cremate" from the Medical Examiner. The process may take up to 8-10 business days before we are able to return your loved one to you. The amount of time all depends on how quickly the Doctor and Medical Examiner sign off on the Cause of Death.
When will the Death Certificates be ready?
Death Certificates usually take about the same time as the cremation (8-10 business days). The amount of time all depends on how quickly the Doctor and Medical Examiner sign off on the Cause of Death.
I have a plot/niche at a cemetery else where in the United States, will you ship my loved one to the cemetery?
Yes. We will coordinate with the cemetery of your choice and follow your wishes.
I have chosen to have my loved one scattered at sea, when will the scattering take place?
We scatter every 3 months or sooner (weather and water conditions permitting). Florida Law regulates the distance we must travel out into the ocean before being able to scatter. Once we scatter the ashes we will contact you with the GPS location of where the ashes were scattered and on what day.
Are the ashes I receive back actually my loved one?
This question is one that we care about just as much as you do. From the time our staff brings your loved one into our care, there will be identification throughout the process that allows you, and us, to rest assured that the ashes you get back are definitely your loved one.
Do you have a location for us to have a memorial service?
Although we understand you may want to hold a memorial service, we do not have an onsite chapel. However, we can assist in arranging a memorial by using one of our many local partners that allows us to use their chapels. You may also contact a local country club, religious entity, or restaurant to host one of the service.

Baked Petit Sapin
Petit Sapin is a Mont d'Or style cheese and a special experience and if you find one that's perfectly ripe, you can just spoon it out of the container without heating it. However baking the cheese brings out its special flavor, especially if you add garlic and a splash of wine, and the texture is like nothing else you've ever had. Some folks grind some black pepper over the cheese before baking as well.
1 Petit Sapin cheese (250gr), room temperature
1 clove garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1/8 cup (20ml) white wine
1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC.)
2. Wrap the container of cheese securely in foil, making sure to enclose it so the foil goes up to the top of the outside of the container, but leave the top exposed. Set the wrapped cheese on a baking sheet.
3. Poke eight-to-ten slits in the top of the cheese with a paring knife and slide the slivers of fresh garlic in them. Pour white wine over the cheese, and bake the cheese until it's very hot – it will take between 20 and 30 minutes.
Serve with good bread, some new potatoes, slices of ham and pickles.
Pair it with a good, flavorful white wine (such as Arbois, Chasselas, Sancerre, Chardonnay, or Gewürtztraminer), Champagne or beer.
Bon Appétit !

Reaching Heights with Fire in Their Belly
This refers to your cover story on India's Coolest Start-ups (August 27). The winners' feats speak loudly that India is not a laggard in this sphere. The companies are also maintaining the lead in their chosen domains. Insurance is given a new lease of life, junked autos are given a novel incarnation, and organisational growth is capped with green plumes owing to the endeavours of the game changers. "It is better to do the right thing than doing things right," said Peter F. Drucker, for the organisational contribution to its objectives and societal welfare. The talents and proven skills of the start-ups testify to the competence of the Indian entrepreneurial capacity in start-ups, vindicating their selection as winners.

The Agony of an Investor
This refers to your article on Piramal Group (Piramal's Big Bet, Aug 13). Group Chairman Ajay Piramal had reportedly mentioned earlier: "We have experience in real estate and know the challenges. We know where you can make money and where you cannot." Piramal is dead right as to where you cannot make money. You have to ask the investors, like me, in their Indiareit Schemes III and IV.
I had invested `25 lakh in Indiareit Scheme III in 2007 and 2008. In July 2016, the fund was closed after taking three-year extension. On top of the principal, the fund disbursed `4.85 lakh, which was more than their fees and expenses. The compounded annual return is less than 2 per cent. Although investments of this type entail risks, it is hard to understand the mediocre return over a 9-year period. The matter was taken up with Piramal Fund Management, which said there were a number of headwinds impacting the real estate sector and certain investments faced delays in execution. The explanation was vague. No data was given on the returns generated on similar funds of other companies. The smartest decision was funding only top-notch developers who were unlikely to default. In one of the deals, the subscription money of `5 crore paid by the Fund was written off. In the case of investment made in one of the projects Ambience in 2010, due to delays in approvals, the launch happened only in 2014. The project, already behind schedule, is expected to be completed in 2020. There has been diminution in value of its holding in the project.
While many investors suffered, the fund was earning huge fees. Unfortunately, there is no provision for claw back of fees when the fund is managed incompetently as in this case. And also, there is no bar on companies managing these funds to raise money from investors even after poor show. The matter has been taken to SEBI by me in May, and the outcome is awaited.

A Taxing Time for Uttar Pradesh
This refers to your article on the economy of UP (An UPhill Task, Aug 13). Many states like West Bengal, Punjab, and UP are under serious financial crisis. Waiving farm loan is the most populist poll plank for any political party now a days. It is a good political proposition for them to catch millions of voters. Though UP has been able to keep the fiscal deficit within prescribed limit, only time will tell how it shapes up. The state government has to ensure that in next one and half years it gives utmost importance to infrastructure projects and power supply. The state has to attract huge investment by private companies, which will definitely boost both employment and tax collections.

World's 1st Rizal Monument is Stained with Blood, Fortified with a Battlecry
Christa De La Cruz | Sep 29, 2015
Rizal Monument in Luneta (formerly Bagumbayan) is probably the most popular memorial for the fallen hero and among the most famous sculptural landmarks in the country. It is especially under the spotlight nowadays because of the case against a certain residential building that serves as an unsightly background of the leisure park.
Unknown to many, this bronze sculpture of Dr. José Rizal (June 19, 1861 – December 30, 1896) was not the first monument erected in his honor. Instead, the Philippines' (and the world's) first Rizal monument can be found more than 300 kms from Manila's Kilometre Zero marker: at the corner of Magallanes and Justo Lukban Streets near the Municipal Hall of Daet, Camarines Norte.
Called the "Bantayog ni Rizal," it doesn't have the standing nor sitting sculpture of the Nationalist unlike most Rizal monuments. It does have, however, physically embody a grim yet courageous part of Philippine and Bicolano history.
A Link in the Revolution
To learn the often ignored chapter of our country's past, one needs to step back to look at the bigger picture. Right there at the street corner, this becomes a little more literal because just a few steps away is a memorial for the massacred Katipuneros of the four-day Daet Revolt agains the Spaniards.
On April 14, 1898, members of the Katipunan from Camarines Norte staged an uprising against Spanish authorities who have fortified themselves in the house of one Florencio Arana, a Spaniard and long-time resident of Daet. Some of these brave men were Ildefonso Moreno, Tomas Zaldua and his two sons Telesforo and Marianito, Jose Abaño, Jacinto Rada, Vicente Salveria, Isidoro Avila, Gavino Saavedra, Dominga Lozada, Angel Zaleta, Gregorio Del Valle, Florante Bacerdo, and many others.
Sporadic encounters lasted for days as the Katipuneros occupied Daet and surrounded the house of Arana. However, the troop failed to contain the additional Spanish soldiers from Nueva Caceres. This broke the siege of Daet on April 17, 1898 and resulted to the arrest, torture, and execution through beheading of some 500 people—both Filipino soldiers and civilians.
The marker erected in their memorial says: "Although the revolt was short-lived, it signalled the beginning of the end of Spanish colonial rule in the Bicol Region."
We all know that Philippine independence, or at least a version of it, was achieved two months later, June 12, 1898.
In the same year, President of the First Philippine Republic Emilio Aguinaldo issued a decree that declared December 30, 1898 as Rizal Day. As a response, revolutionaries in Camarines Norte led by Lt. Colonels Antonio Sanz and Ildefonso Alegre of the Republican Army broke ground for the construction of a monument in honor of the hero. The Bantayog ni Rizal was completed in February 1899 and was formally unveiled on December 30, 1899, beating the completion of Luneta's Rizal Monument by 14 years.
More importantly, the Camarines Norte monument was made of corals taken from an old Spanish prison following the tragic finale of the Daet revolt. In a review by Inquirer (2011), Abel C. Icatlo of the Camarines Norte Provincial Museum added that the corals "were soaked and stained with the blood of Bicolano martyrs, so to speak." The Bantayog also stands beside the river where the Katipuneros were stationed.
Three Stars and a Sun
Standing at about 20 feet, the three-tiered stone pylon has a cube for a base, a three-sided pyramid in the middle, and a triangular pyramid which tapers off to a point at the top. Pinned on top is an eight-ray sun and on each of the three sides is a bas-relief of a golden star. The famous "Three Stars and a Sun" was originally a symbol of the Katipuneros fighting for the independence of the country. The phrase "A Jose Rizal" (To Jose Rizal) can be found on one of the sides of the middle tier.
The podium was inscribed with the titles and publication year of Rizal's novels: "Noli Me Tangere" (1887), "El Filibusterismo" (1891), and "Morga" (1889). The last is not really an original but an annotation of Antonio de Morga's "Sucesos De Las Islas Filipinas" (1609), which he copied verbatim from the British Museum.
The structure was declared a national historical landmark by the National Historical Commission in 1961. Finally in 2008, its status was elevated into a national monument by virtue of Resolution No. 12 "Resolution Declaring The Jose Rizal Monument in the Municipality of Daet, Camarines Norte a National Monument".
Of Masonic Symbols and Beginnings
The Bantayog's pronounced Masonic elements like the pyramids, cubes, stars, and the sun can be owed to the involvement of the organization's ideals in what transpired in Philippine history.
Dr. Jose Rizal was a Mason. He first applied for membership in Acasia Lodge No. 9, a Masonic lodge in Madrid under the Gran Oriente de España—Spain's principal and biggest Grand Orient. Upon his initiation, he chose "Dimasalang" as his symbolic name in Masonry. He also joined the first Filipino lodge, La Solidaridad No. 53, in 1891.
According to American historian Jim Richardson, 13 of the 28 members of the KKK Supreme Council were not only members of Rizal's La Liga Filipina but also Masons. In fact, Katipunan founders Ladislao Diwa, Andres Bonifacio, Teodoro Plata, Valentin Diaz, and Jose Dizon, all belonged to the same Masonic triangle: Taliba.
The revolutionary movement in Daet was highly influenced by Masonry as it flourished under the leadership of Vicente Lukban, who was also the Worshipful Master of the Masonic lodge in Camarines Norte called Triangulo Bicol.
The designer of the monument, Sanz, was also a Mason.
Daet in Camarines Norte may be known for a lot of things: the local produce of pili and pineapple, the kiteboarding and surfing haven of Bagasbas Beach, the ancestral houses, and old churches. We must never forget, however, the historic markers of the Oragon's bravery.
How to Get There
By bus:
- Bus lines like DLTB, Philtranco, and Superlines have trips to Daet daily (9 to 10 hours).
By plane:

Islamabad (Staff Report /Agencies): Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar on Friday took suo motu notice of the Axact fake degree scam and sought a report from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) within 10 days.
The chief justice remarked that those who caused defamation of Pakistan in the world will have to face punishment, adding that news reports regarding fake degree scandal rife in local and international media.
He said that if the information was correct, the authorities should take action to curb such activities, tarnishing the name of Pakistan.
"Our heads hanged in shame because of this scandal," he said. The chief justice also observed that the case had surfaced earlier and several cases in this regard are being heard by courts.
The scandal of fake degrees was first disclosed by New York Time in 2015, accusing a Pakistan-based company, Axact of selling degrees of hundreds of fake universities and schools run by the software company to people around the world, including Indians based in the Middle East.
The expose was followed by a crackdown by Pakistani authorities but no one has been prosecuted as yet within the country.

Get The Vision
Today's Passage – Proverbs 28 – 31 (Click on the references to listen to the audio – click here to view the text from the Blue Letter Bible website)
(Second Milers also read – Luke 3 – 4; Psalms 116 – 118; Proverbs 24)
Scripture Memorization for June – Great Commission Verses
Listen to this morning's Scripture song – Matthew 6:33
Read a great article by Brother John Goetsch – "Uncola Christianity – 7 Ingredients To Add To Your Faith"
Read the "0724 Evening and Morning" devotion for today, by the late Charles Haddon Spurgeon.
"Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." (Proverbs 29:18)
"And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision." (1Samuel 3:1)
If you have been a Christian for any length of time then you have most likely heard a sermon preached on vision. Most of the time the preacher will use Proverbs 29:18 to prove that the pastor and people need to have some type of plan for the future in order for the church to survive and thrive in the next generation. For instance, I have heard this verse used by a preacher who was trying to convince the congregation regarding a new building. He was trying to get the people to "see" the new building, to get a vision for it. While I do believe it is wise for the pastor to know where he is going in the future,and I also think that He is responsible for casting the "vision" for the church, I do not believe this verse is teaching that. This verse, and the verse in 1 Samuel 3 both connect the term, "vision", with the Word of God. God is not saying that the preacher or church need to have their own vision, but rather that they need to have God's vision, which is the Pokies Word of God.
Christians often speak too flippantly about what "God told them". I always ask them about the book, chapter, and verse that God used to tell them the thing that He supposedly said. You see, God does not speak to us with audible voices anymore; He gave us His Word. God uses the revealed Word of God to "direct our paths", etc. Now I am not saying that God does not lead us down particular paths, and into specific areas of service. He does reveal His will to us through a combination of means, but it all starts with the Word of God, and is confirmed by the Word of God. It is the Word of God that is God's "open vision" today.
Last night at the Northeast Vision Summit, I listened attentively to a great Bible message by Pastor Kurt Skelly on this very subject. He was preaching from Genesis 37 where Joseph was dreaming dreams. God used dreams back in the days of Joseph to reveal His Word. Joseph faithfully took the Word that was given Him through the dream, and delivered it to his father and brothers. The preacher pointed out that the recipients of Joseph's dreams were not much different from the recipients of the Word of God today: they didn't like what they heard.
As Christians, we need to look to the Bible for direction in life. Preachers, we need to faithful study, learn, and teach the Word and Words of God that He has given to instruct His people today. It is the Bible that will guide; it is the Bible that will encourage; it is the Bible that will give comfort; it is the Bible that will correct; it is the Bible that reveal the future; and so much more. All we need is the Bible, and the Holy Ghost of God Who will help us understand it. So, get a vision; but get it from the Bible.

Fender American Elite Telecaster in a great looking Aged Cherry Burst – a fantastic, modern take on an absolutely legendary instrument.
Supercharging a Classic
Excellent Craftsmanship
Coming packed with a whole host of new innovations, the Fender 2016 American Elite Telecaster is a great new vision of this classic guitar which is suitable for all styles of playing.
A natural evolution of a classic instrument; the Fender American Elite Telecaster features new specs to satisfy the modern player.
When designing the Fender American Elite Telecaster, Fender ensured that even with the wide ranging cutting-edge innovations that the classic, timeless visual style of the Fender Telecaster must remain.
The Fender Tele's body is made of Alder wood featuring the classic single cutaway for enhanced reach of the upper frets and comes in a timeless, understated Aged Cherry Burst finish which shows the beautiful, natural grain of the Alder body.
All-New American Elite Neck and Heel
Redesigned for 21st Century guitar players, the American Elite Telecaster features a new compound neck profile to ensure ultimate comfort and playability.
Starting with a modern "C" shape at the nut, gradually becoming a modern "D" shaped profile – this neck is easier, more comfortable and more fun to play than ever before.
Along with the single cutaway design, to further enhance reach of the upper frets, a new cutaway neck heel adds a beautifully elegant and functional modern style to the American Elite Telecaster.
The cutaway neck heel blends seamlessly into an asymmetrical neck volute delivering an extremely comfortable, enhanced playing feel.
A 9.5" – 14" compound radius Maple fretboard shapes the playing area nicely for improved riffing and chording at the low end of the fretboard while lead work and solos are easier than ever towards the higher frets.
Enhanced Electronics with the Fender S-1 Switch
Fender American Elite Telecasters sport the all-new 4th generation Noiseless pickups that are exclusive to the Fender American Elite series. These incredible new pickups deliver the classic style of a single coil pickup but with none of the usual drawbacks such as hum, buzz and other unwanted noise.
At the cutting edge of Fender's pickup designs, the 4th gen Noiseless pickups offer incredibly diverse sonic performance from crisp and clear cleans to huge overdriven tones for that full rock flavour.
Giving you further tonal control, the Fender American Elite Telecaster features the innovative S-1 switch allowing you to activate series or parallel wiring options when using both pickups.
With the S-1 Switch discreetly located in the top of the volume control, you can easily adjust your sound with the flick of a finger mid-play.
Further Elite Features
Fender have gone all-out while designing the American Elite Series ensuring that you receive an instrument that truly lives up to the Fender American Elite name.
A new double action truss rod adjustment wheel makes it extremely easy to adjust the neck relief without the need for any special tools.
At the headstock, you'll find newly designed locking short-post tuning machines that help with easy and fast re-stringing and improve playability. They also provide an increased break angle at the nut and improve tuning stability.
To sweeten the deal, the Fender American Elite Telecaster even comes with a redesigned ABS Elite Moulded Case with TSA approved locks so you can transport your new instrument in full confidence that it is completely protected; even when going by plane.
Bringing you the Telecaster that you know and love but with some incredible new features that make it better than ever, the Fender American Elite Telecaster truly delivers.

Food banks in Edson and Hinton continue to rise to the occasion
Food banks in Edson and Hinton continue to fill residents' needs.
"We're doing pretty good, still," said Edson Food Bank vice president Gary Kearse.
The demand is growing on a steady basis at the food bank, he said.
"Every Tuesday we have two or three more families, so it's not going down."
Demand at the Hinton Food Bank is generally up, said spokesman Ed Holtner.
"I think this is consistent with other food banks in the region and across Canada," he noted.
Donations for foodstuffs are always in demand, said Holtner.
"Currently our most pressing needs are one-litre juice, flour, sugar, coffee and breakfast cereal."
In Edson food continues to come in thanks a couple of schools that recently had food drives. This explains in part why the Edson Food Bank food supplies continue to be "pretty good," according to Kearse.
He reminds Edson and area residents about the annual door to door food bank drive taking place on May 13.
In Hinton, food drives are community driven, Holtner said.
"We do not know about a lot of them until they are finished and the foodstuff is delivered.
Holtner added generally the largest community drive takes place with the recently concluded Challenge in the Rockies.
Client service night for the Hinton Food Bank is Tuesdays from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the food bank located at 124 Market Street.
What the food bank doesn't receive from donations, it purchases with cash. The latter is something that Hinton Food Bank officials don't actively pursue.
"One of the issues is that we do not go to the community on a regular basis is a request for cash. It is hard to make a plea for cash when every other charity or group also has a request out there," said Holtner.
Tuesday is also client day at the Edson Food Bank from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. The food bank is located at 4511 Fifth Avenue in east Edson. The food bank also holds nightly sessions, every second and last Thursday from 6:35 p.m. to 8 p.m. The Edson Bikers Against Bullying group volunteers on these nights.
For people who would like to volunteer for the Edson Food Bank's Food Drive on May 13, call 780-723-1350.

IoT: What Exactly is the Internet of Things?
IoT is everywhere lately, but what exactly is the Internet of Things?
Have you seen or heard the phrase, the Internet of Things – or IoT for short – lately? If you're like many people, you have no clue with IoT means, let alone how it has probably already impacted your life and how it will impact your future. But, what exactly does the term mean, and how does it affect you? The Internet of Things collectively refers to Internet-connected smart devices. Right now, the IoT space is growing at a rapid pace. According to Gartner, it will grow to 26 billion devices by 2020 – and this doesn't include things like laptops, 2-in-1's, mobile phones and tablets. This is a 30-fold increase from 2009. IoT is a big industry, and it's only getting bigger. Let's find out exactly what IoT is and some of the ways it can improve your life.
Explanation of Internet of Things
The Internet of Things focuses on connectivity between everyday "smart" or "connected" items and the internet, by the way of embedded electronics. These "items" can be anything really. Certain models of vehicles, washing machines, lights, wearable devices and even pet products can connect to the internet – and to other devices – right now. In the future, it will be common for many appliances and even things like buildings to be completely smart. But, what does that really mean, and why do you want your devices talking to each other? Here's a scenario to help you understand the benefit of IoT: Your alarm wakes you up at 7:30 and your coffee maker starts percolating. You get in your car, and suddenly you are in gridlock traffic. Your car notifies your employer that you are running late, while figuring out an alternate route to get you to work faster. At work, you notice the printer ink running low. No problem, the printer has already ordered more ink – and it's learned your typical workload, so you won't run out before more ink arrives. Since you arrived late to work, you'll be staying a bit late today. Fifteen minutes before you arrive home later than usual, the thermostat kicks in and warms your house. And while you were gone? Your pet feeder knew it was time for Fido to eat, so it automatically feeds a hungry Fido. So, as you see, the IoT can have a significant impact on your life and work. And most will agree, it's a very good one! Here are some astounding facts about the IoT:
- By 2020, 250,000 vehicles will be connected to the Internet.
- The global wearable device, like the Fitbit for example, has grown 223% in 2015.
- Large companies like Google and Samsung are investing in IoT. Google bought Nest Labs, which makes smart thermostats and Samsung, bought a home automation company, SmartThings.
What This Means for You
One of the great advantages to the IoT is how it can transform your home into a connected smart home. When designing a smart home, we like to start with an easy-to-use, central command center that's accessible from your smartphone. Our SURE Universal Remote app fits the bill and you can use it to control many of your smart devices and appliances from a single interface, rather than having to use and learn each manufacturer's app. And, we're working tirelessly adding new devices as they become available. Next, you can consider adding a Smart TV and other smart appliances like:
- A smart outlet like the WeMo Insight. It can monitor and log power usage, you can control it with your smartphone, and you can also set up a timer schedule. For example, if your child is sick, you can plug in a humidifier and before you go to bed, you can use your phone to turn it off, rather than sneaking in and disturbing your little one.
- Amazon Echo or Google Home – These are hands-free voice-controlled devices that become the center of your smart home. Think of them as your personal assistants. For example, they can play music, answer questions and control your lighting and thermostats – but can also order you a pizza or call an Uber to your doorstep.
- Phillips Hue wireless lighting – Use your SURE Universal remote to control these wireless lights. These colorful lights can set the mood to a movie, to music or just for setting an ambient atmosphere with a loved one.
The Internet of Things isn't going anywhere, anytime soon. If you haven't adopted to this new way of life, now is the time to start. And with some innovative devices that are becoming part of the IoT, you'll be one step ahead of your neighbor. Over to you – how do you use the Internet of Things in your life?

BMW M135i - Dyno testing + Map 6 settings
The owner of this BMW M135i purchased a JB4 and decat downpipe from a friend, installed them and was amazed at the difference. With the parts installed, he drove down from Scotland to us here at The Performance Centre to test the car on the dyno and create a map 6 based for the JB4 on the live data received from the car.
The owner had only driven the car in map 1 (the blue line on the graph) but still felt a massive improvement over standard. After around an hour on the dyno, we finalised the map 6 settings and ended up with the fantastic result shown below. In some points of the rev range map 6 was making double the difference map 1 did!
Power gained over stock: 79 bhp
Power gained over map 1: 41 bhp
Torque gained over stock: 119 nm
Torque gained over map 1: 70 nm @ 4,800 rpm

text: DigitalFacebook Opens Viral Growth Channel for Pages, Delivering Invites to Like as NotificationsBy Josh Constine|July 18, 2011 ShareBy Josh Constine|July 18, 2011 ShareFacebook now allows Page administrators to send their friends invites to Like their Page that appear as notifications, opening a new viral channel that could assist Page growth. Because these invites generate Facebook and email notifications, they are much more noticeable and could have a higher conversion rate than the Page suggestions admins could previously send that appeared in the "Recommended Pages" sidebar module that would occasionally appear. However, accepting an invite requires users to click through to a Page.Admins of new Pages looking to establish an initial fan base should use the new "Invite Friends" link that appears on their Page. Adding a large number of admins that can all use the feature on their own friends could be an effective growth strategy for smaller Pages.Before we look at specific ways that admins might use this feature, here's a quick review of how the feature has changed over the years. In 2009, both admins and users could send Page suggestions that appeared in the Requests panel on the home page. In January 2011, Facebook stopped allowing users to send Page suggestions, restricting a core viral growth channel for Pages. Admins could still send suggestions, but users had to send wall posts or messages that required more effort.By April, Facebook had phased out the Requests panel completely, and started delivering admin-sent Page invites indirectly by occasionally surfacing them in a Recommended Pages sidebar module that would appear in the right sidebar of the site as recipients moved around the site. Users could also answer and manage their Page invites in the rarely visited Page discovery browser.Using Invites for Page GrowthNow Facebook has switched back to direct delivery of Page invites. Admins now see an "Invite Friends" link in the right-hand admin panel when viewing their own Page. When clicked, admins see a multi-friend selector that allows them to search for friends or sort them by Recent Interactions, network, Group, or friend list. Admins can then select friends and send a batch of invites. There doesn't appear to be a limit to how many invites can be sent at once. If there is a limit, it is higher than 20, which was once the simultaneous application invite cap.Selected friends receive these invites as notifications on Facebook that display the name and photo of the friend who sent the invite. Users also receive email notifications of invites if their account notifications settings permit. Users aren't presented an option to instantly Like the Page, but instead must click through to the Page where they can decide whether to Like it. This conversion process takes more effort on the part of the recipient, which might offset the boost to conversion offered by the higher visibility of direct invites.Our initial test of the invite system quickly showed a high conversion rate. This is likely because users see the invites as soon as they log on, and the inclusion of the sender's photo makes the recipient feel that they've received a trusted recommendation.There's a chance that if admin-sent Page invites delivered through notifications show a high conversion rate but aren't abused, Facebook could open the viral channel to use by non-admins. However, Facebook has to balance free, viral fan acquisition channels with its paid Page advertising services so that Page owners feel like they're getting a high return on their Facebook marketing investment. Too much virality pollutes the user experience, but too little can make marketing on the site seem to expensive.By providing this enhanced viral channel for invites that can help new Pages establish a fan base for free, Facebook can hook admins on using the site for their business. It can then look to sell admins advertising to continue growing their Page once they've exhausted the potential for securing Likes from their own friend network.Continue ReadingPages: 1 2 Sharehttp://adweek.it/2k6Lp5o copy Adweek Adweek

Every Saturday morning, I struggled to make sure that the force of engaging myself to this activity doesn't end in the mind as my bed appeals to me to sleep ten more minutes which usually ends in hours. But I need to make a choice and that decision should be felt by my feet and my heartbeat as it pound faster while I push myself to make that extra mile.
Fortunately for the past few weeks, I ended up with my feet geared with running shoes, my Runkeeper app and music player dashing through the ground. And as always it felt good.
What motivates me to run? Let me walk you through some of the thoughts and ideas that is running in my head right now :)
Run to empty your mind.
Run to listen to the birds chirping as you pass them by.
Run to marvel on the majestic array of flowers, plants and trees along the road.
Run and let your feet take the freedom to go far.
Run and let the wind blow against your face.
Run and let your heartbeat dance with your feet.
Run as you allow the wind to play with your hair.
Run as you let the Sun touch your fair skin and add color to it.
Run as you face that morning with your renewed strength.
Run and forget what lies behind.
Run and press on what lies ahead.
Run and learn from your past as you face your future.
Run from people who already give up on their dreams and tells you to forget yours.
Run from negative crowd who are easy to criticize others.
Run from critical people who points out mistakes but does not want to be part of the solution.
Run from temptation as it tries to devour you then leave you defeated after giving in.
Run from all your insecurities as it seek to weigh you down.
Run from your enemy not because you're afraid of them but because they're not worth your time.
Run with pocket full of perseverance.
Run with a goal to finish the race.
Run with your loved ones.
Run for yourself.
Run for a healthy future with your spouse and children.
Run for a cause.
But most importantly run because its fun. :)

Dubh-Linn meaning Dark Pool or Black Pool, Later spelt Dublin, settled by the Vikings.
My Dublin Mate on hopildays here was wearing a Dublin shirt, Baile ata cliath, he asked me what does it mean, i said,[ Home on the ford] oh he said, i taught it meant Dublin City. Dubh meaning black, Dublin is now the capitol city of Nigaria. Sign in a Dublin Street, Dubh fir ag obair, ha ha ha. Take me back to the fifties Liz.

Latest bulletin:
Well this evening I put on me galoshes cos it was raining and headed for the good ol\'Horse & Hound. I found a Phil Donoghue there alright, but he was one of the barmen who works there! That must have been why they told you to call back, Elizabeth.
So anyway. This quest is talking longer than I hoped so tonight I took on two assistants, one of who actually knew the Donogue family and the O\'Brien family that Phil married into!. So now three of us are on the job.
The work continues......

My favorite perfume
This post contains affiliate links. Read full disclosure here.
I've always loved the way honeysuckles smell. It's a sweet and floral scent that will forever remain tied to memories of my childhood of playing outside with my sister and cousins, plucking honeysuckles from the fence to suck on the nectar.
Years ago my mom bought me Avon's Today perfume for Christmas and it quickly became one of my favorite perfumes. The perfume is described as a "citrusy floral" scent with the following notes:
• Top Notes: Joyful Citrus, Watery Green Notes, Pink Peppercorn• Mid Notes: Magnolia, Lily of the Valley, Jasmine Petals• End Notes: Sandalwood, Cedarwood, and Elegant Musk
Somehow all these notes combined create a scent that reminds me of honeysuckles and though I've tried to find a perfume that smells similar (Bed Bath and Body Works Wild Honeysuckle is close) I've yet to find a perfume that with that honeysuckle scent with the power to evoke sunny childhood memories.
The best part? This perfume costs less than $25.
I receive many compliments about this perfume usually followed by surprise when I explain the perfume is from Avon.
The perfume is an instant pick-me-up and while I own other more expensive perfumes, Today is my signature scent.

Marching Thunder uses new technology to capture halftime show performance
September 8, 2017
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
The Marching Thunder has found a new and innovative way to keep up with technological advances through a special pair of glasses from the popular social media app, Snapchat.
Marshall band member Erin Fields got to experience the new technology during the first Marshall football game last Saturday against Miami (Ohio).
Snapchat has created a special pair of glasses, Spectacle, that allow users to create snap videos that show exactly what the wearer is seeing by the push of a button.
"One day, Dr. Dalton (Director of the Marching Thunder), asked if I had heard about the Snapchat glasses, and I had, but I had never used them," Fields explained. "He ordered a pair from Amazon Prime and received them a couple of days before the game, so we decided to capture some pre-game activities and the halftime show."
The glasses work by connecting to the user's Snapchat account by Bluetooth. While in action, the user presses a button on the leg of the glasses, and it starts recording a 10 second video.
"You press the button once for 10 seconds, twice for 20 seconds, and a third time for 30 seconds," Fields said.
Fields said she hopes the glasses will be a big hit on the Marching Thunder's Snapchat, and they will be continuously used throughout the season.
"For parades and what's going on in the stands at the games, I'll probably be the one using the glasses, but for pre-game and the halftime show, the glasses will probably be passed around so everyone can see the whole band's point of view, not just one person," Fields said.
Fellow band member Madi Persinger said she really enjoyed the experience of the glasses.
"I think it's a really interesting take on the halftime show," Persinger said. "Everyone can see what the band is doing from the stands, but it's totally different seeing the band from our perspective."
During Fields' first game with the glasses, she captured the band getting ready for the game, the halftime show and some of the action in the stands.
"Once we get the lights incorporated into the show, having the glasses will be an even bigger experience for us as a band and for the crowd as spectators," Persinger said.
