What is jelqing? Jelqing exercises are an effective method to increase penis length and thickness. It is believed that the origin of the word "jelqing" dates stems from an ancient Arab technique which dates back more than 200 years.
They are the most effective lengthening method and the only one capable of making your penis thicker naturally. Jelqings consist of increasing the amount of blood inside the penis in order to increase the size of its cavernous bodies.
How to jelq step by step
Jelqing exercise routine
How to jelq properly? Grip in the form of OK: Make an "OK" sign with the fingers and index finger of your hand. With this grip, hold your penis.
- Step 1: Movement: begin the movement towards the head of the penis, using firm and slow pressure. It shouldn't hurt, but it must be strong enough to move blood to the head of the penis.
- Step 2: When arriving to the glans: each jelq can take between 2-3 seconds normally or between 5-10 seconds if you want to work the thickness.
- Step 3: Stop by the glands: then repeat the jelqs until you reach a full 20-minute session.
Check this video to see how to move your hand towards to the head of the penis.
Does Jelqing really work?
Yes, jelqing exercises work because they are able to expand the cavernous body of the penis.
The "cavernous body" is formed by two cylinders of a sponge-like tissue capable of containing 90% of the blood that reaches the penis in an erection.
They are a type of tissue that fills with blood to increase both length and thickness. They are the part of the penis that causes size, hardness, maintenance and final contractions.
Jelqing exercises if made correct are the most effective way of expanding this tissue. Once the tissue has expanded it stimulates the formation of new cells and increases the capacity of the penis to hold more blood inside.
How to jelq properly and safely?
It is important to do the exercises correctly to avoid unnecessary risks and to make a gains
- Lubricant: before starting, lubricate your penis well with a lubricant, preferably a water-based one.
- Erection level: you must have an erection at 50-75%. You can't be totally erect. It's necessary for the penis to be a little relaxed so that you can make the blood flow inside it.
The right angle
To get the most out of jelqings, you have to aim your penis downward so that (while milking your penis downward) you're also stretching the ligaments; helping you gain more inches/centimetres.
How long to jelq for? Jelqing everyday?
How many times a week do you have to do the exercises? How long does each session have to last? I'm sure you've been asking yourself these questions.
Two to five sessions a week are necessary. Personally, I like to do 3 sessions a week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) leaving 24 hours of space between each of them so that the tissues recover. The optimal duration of each session is between 20-30 minutes, depending on the intensity.
Each jelq should last about 3 seconds at first. As you get used to the exercises you can extend them up to 10 seconds per jelq, to work the thickness of the penis.
To work the penis well in all directions, do not hesitate to use different grips. The basic grasp in the form of "ok" is fundamental, but don't forget to do it with both hands, or use other grasps such as the "V" shape to create variation from time to time, so that your penis does not become habituated to the motions.
Prevent overtraining
Training more days than needed or longer than needed will make your results worse. One of the basic rules of both muscle growth and cell growth is that rest is the period during which cells repair and therefore growth occurs. You have to let your penis rest to grow. Exercising every day will saturate the exercise and give you no room to repair the cells that make up the tissues of your penis.
Types of jelqings
There are different types of jelqing that we can perform.
Wet Jelqing
Wet jelqing is the most common. It is performed with the help of lubricant to reduce friction between the hand and the penis. Never use gel or shampoo instead of lubricant, as the products they contain may irritate your skin.
Dry jelqing
Dry jelqing, or jelqing without lubricant, is a little less pleasant in reality. However, some men find them more effective because it is easier to retain blood in the penis when it is dry. Another advantage is that it can be done more discreetly; for example under the sheets if you sleep with someone else. This cannot be done with the lubricant.
The lateral jelqing
A fantastic solution to reduce the curvature of the penis involves making the movement in the opposite direction to the curvature. In this case it is advisable to have a slightly higher erection level of approximately 75%.
This variant emphasizes the thickness and sides of the penis. It is done by grasping the penis with the index and middle fingers with the palm of your hand facing you. Grabbing the penis with these two fingers forms a V, hence the name.
One hand jelq
Jelqing with one hand is as simple as its name suggests. It is done with only one hand, instead of alternating between the two. Before doing each jelg it is advisable to press down to the base of the pubis.
Does jelqing increase girth? How to jelq for girth?
To enhace thickness, reps which normally take 2-3 seconds, should take about 4-5 seconds.
Jelqing success pictures
In the first 60 days I had already gained 30% in length. I managed to grow my penis 1.2 inches and move from 4 inches to 6.2 inches in length. I also got to increase the girth from 4.5 inches in circumference to 5.5 inches when erected. It is noticeable both when my penis is erecte and when it is flacid.
Is Jelqing safe?
Are jelqs dangerous or do they have any side effects? These exercises are safe and without side effects if done correctly. If you warm your penis beforehand and if you don't over train it, there is nothing to worry about. In addition, as you get practice and experience it is even possible to skip the preheating.
Conversely, if you don't follow the recommendations, some side effects may appear:
- Red dots: If you exercise regularly, you may see small red dots appear on your skin as a result of breakage in the small blood capillaries. This is not a serious side-effect to be worried about, but in order to avoid this we recommend very gradual sessions. In this way we allow the blood capillaries to enlarge their size little by little.
- The doughnut effect: is a common side effect that occurs on the skin surrounding the glans. Sometimes it swells and causes a doughnut or float around the glans to appear temporarily; disappearing within a few hours. In any case, in order to avoid this, it is necessary to jelq until the end of the glans, so that all the blood flows and circulates from beginning to end. If you stop the jelq in the middle of the penis shaft the blood stays stagnant in the same place and the doughnut appears.
- Little scars may appear on the large one. They are not a symptom to be concerned about either, but they are a sign that the glans is gaining in size. If you want to avoid them, you can use moisturizer to make the glans skin more supple.
Jelqings and kegels
As you may know, kegels are muscular exercises of the perineum. These are contractions that cause more blood to flow into the penis. It's the contraction we make when we want to cease the stream while we're peeing.
Well, jelqing and kegels complement each other. Before each jelq a kegel contraction must be made to send more blood to the penis. After sending the blood, we catch that blood with the OK grip and carry it forward to the glans.
Jelqings and stretching
Jelqings and stretches are also two complementary exercises. When we perform a jelq we are also performing a stretch of the penile ligaments forward. However, it is necessary to take a few days off from the jeqings and perform only the stretching exercises to gain more length.
This way, we will ensure that the penis does not get used to the same routine. A day of stretching catches the penis by surprise and can make it grow bigger.
Jelqings and vacuum pumps
Vacuum pumps are not enough to enlarge the penis on their own, but they can be used before and after jelqings.
Before jelqs, in order bring more blood into the penis and prepare it for jelqs.
After the jelqs in order to push the penis to its limit. After jelqings the cavernous bodies of the penis are at their maximum capacity to hold blood. A few minutes of vacuum pump time after the jelqings will serve to push the penis beyond our limits and force it to grow bigger.

The HTC One A9 is all but official, but only because HTC has yet to officially announce the upcoming smartphone. When it comes to the matter of existence, the phone has been leaked numerous times at this point with images showing off the design, as well as hardware specifications letting the public know what to expect from HTC's latest smartphone. Although the specs aren't official yet either, what's known about them so far gives a pretty good idea of how the phone will stack up. It's stated to come powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 620 CPU and the Adreno 405 GPU, along with 3GB of RAM.
There doesn't seem to be any details regarding the battery size, unfortunately, but it shouldn't be too long before those details are known as HTC are expected to unveil the phone on the 20th at their event in New York. In terms of screen size, the HTC One A9 is said to be equipped with a 5-inch display with a Full HD resolution, come with 32GB of internal storage space, and come with a 13MP rear-facing camera and a 5MP camera on the front although it's been stated to have a 4MP FFC as well so this particular specification is still unclear. HTC is also said to have packed the phone with Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, and although this is still uncertain as well, it make sense given the timing of the device. When it comes to the cost of the phone, leaked prices for Europe peg it at a possible $688 based on the exchange rate, but that price would most likely come down for official U.S. pricing to reflect the market for devices here. Based on these details so far, would you consider buying the HTC One A9?

Are you exploring options to simplify answer sheet evaluation process for your university/ education institute ?
Do you want to use technology to simplify answer sheet checking process ?
Onscreen Evaluation System is the technology to improve current examination paper checking process.
Here is the introductory video about advantages of onscreen marking system
The traditional paper checking process is extremely time-consuming and involves many logistical activities.
Heretofore the paper checking and the result declaration used to take place in a very draggy system. It was a very long step by step done tedious process which wasn't even that reliable because of the obvious human error factor.
Before listing the advantages of the system, let us have a look at the problems at hand that arise with manual answer sheet checking.
Logistical Management:
Logistical management is the organization of the question papers and answers sheets before the examination, after the examination and during the paper checking as well.
Physically answer sheet to be stored at central location in secure environment. Exam paper checker need to visit this centralized location in order to evaluate answer sheets of the individual students. Location is one of the important constraint in such situation.
If there are thousands of answer sheet to be evaluated then you may need hundreds of evaluators who should visit this central location and evaluate answer sheets in secure manner.
Moderators are also expected to visit location to moderate / recheck answer sheets. Time consumed for this activity along with cost is higher.
In some cases universities or institutes prefer to send answer sheet copies through courier at examiner location. It involves delays and co ordination activities. Physical handling of answer sheet added to delays of result processing.
This integrated manner of dealing with the handling of the answer sheets is risky as well as extremely time-consuming.
Student Request for Answer Sheet Copy :
If the student ever has issues or doubts regarding the marks or overall summation of the figures given to them, or if they wish to recheck their papers, it has now being made mandatory for the institutions to provide with that
Now a days there are norms where students can request to have photocopy of the checked/evaluated answer sheet. In traditional method it becomes tedious job of manually getting out answer sheet and photocopying it in order to issue it to student.
In the traditional method, it was a very tedious job of manually getting the answer sheets photocopied in order to issue it to the student.
Occasionally, there were also times when the sheets needed to be sent via post to the candidate, making it even vulnerable to damage of any sort.
The entire deal with manually handling the papers is very risky and time-consuming.
Identity Disclosure:
Whilst any examination process, the privacy or say the identity of the candidate has to be secured. It is one of the most mandatory requirements of examination conduction.
In traditional way of answer sheet evaluation it is essential to hide identify of student details to avoid malpractices. Manually each answer sheet should be arranged so as to hide identity of the student.
This makes the identification of the candidate more obvious and the safety regarding the privacy of the student was much more at risk.
Apparently, there was a need to take action for the reduction of the errors that take place during the earlier methods of examination evaluation.
The perfect and most needed solution to the same was the adoption of Onscreen Evaluation System, that is designed especially for the purpose of paper checking.
Onscreen evaluation eliminate most of the hassles of traditional processes
Onscreen evaluation is the ideal solution for the rectification or rather upgradation of the age-old exercise of manual paper checking.
With the perfectly tailored software for the evaluation of the answer sheets, Onscreen evaluation has come up to be extremely handy and user-friendly for the users, along with being free from human error.
The software of Onscreen evaluation is specifically designed in such a way that it not only checks papers without error but also comes with many distinct features.
The few such features have been listed and elaborated below:
1.Answer Sheet Scanning:
It involves process to scan each answer sheet and store in software system in secure manner.
Here are some of the best practices for Onscreen Marking System
2. Answer Sheet Evaluation: (Digital Correction of Exam Papers)
There is no location constraint in such case. Any examiner/ answer sheet checker or Moderator can verify/ evaluate answer sheets sitting at their location .
Person can securely login to the system and can evaluate scanned answer sheets.
Technology driven process is efficient and time needed to evaluate answer sheet reduces significantly as physical handling of answer sheet is eliminated.
Logistical cost and travel management of each evaluator/moderator is eliminated.
Auto Calculation of Total Marks for Answer Sheet
System helps to auto calculate the total. As an examiner you need not have to keep track on compulsory, optional questions attempted by the students. System takes in to consideration best of performances of the students for optional answers.
Calculation of the total is as per question paper pattern and marking scheme. It eliminates manual process. As an examiner you can save 5 to 10 minutes of total calculation activity.
3. Result Generation
It becomes automated as system can directly calculate result and can generate marksheet instantly. It can eliminate process of manually entering marks in the software.
There is facility to export result in excel format. This format can be imported in any of the result generation solution. Manual data entry work of entering marks, validation of it can be eliminated.
It would help to speed up result generation process.
It is mandatory to declare results for the university within 45 days of examination dates. There is timeline and pressure to complete entire answer sheet evaluation activity within stipulated timeline.
Onscreen evaluation system can help to simplify result generation process. System is defined in such a away that calculation of total marks obtained by the student is auto based on exam pattern.
If student has attempted 4 questions out of 5 and there is instruction of attempt any 3 out of 5 then system would consider best of 3 scores while calculating the results. Examiner need not have to keep track on it.
It saves time of manual score calculations. Entire result of individual as well as group of students is available on a single click button and it can be exported in the excel sheet as well.
4. Student request for scan copy
It can be managed easily from the software system.
As per rules and regulations most of the institutions and universities allow students to see their evaluated answer sheet copies. Students need to make payment to get access to their evaluated answer sheet.
In case of such requests, institution need to identify physical answer sheet copy, prepare photocopy of it and issue it to respective student. There is significant logistical and administrative activity in this process.
Onscreen evaluation system can eliminate all administrative hassles and can simplify this process. Students can easily see digitally evaluated answer sheet using technology.
If particular student requests for such copy then administrator can assign View access right to such student so that student can see individual answer sheet copy online itself.
5. Re-Evaluation of Answer Sheet :
There are cases when the students are not satisfied with the results, and request for revaluation or rechecking of answer sheets. Onscreen evaluation makes it simpler to do this activity. This process can be completed in record time. It can help to generate results in quick time.
Traditional process of re evaluation involves activity to handle physical answer sheet. Moderator is provided with physical answer sheet copy where all entries made by previous examiners are masked. Process of masking is manual and it can be time consuming activity.
Moderator re evaluates the answer sheet and new score (if it is significantly different from original score) is updated in the system. This new data should be used to print new marksheet for the student.
There are 3 to 4 steps of handling physical answer sheets and manual data entry work. Chances of error in this activity are high.
Using onscreen evaluation process, you can easily manage moderation and rechecking work as software reassigned answer sheet copy to moderator with masking of previously evaluated entries.

As Breitbart News reported previously, the conference is a gathering of refugee and immigrant advocates meeting to plan opposition to the refugee and immigration policies of President-elect Donald Trump.
A spokesperson for the National Partnership for New Americans (NPNA), one of the two hosts of the conference, confirmed that Gutierrez's remarks were disrupted.
"Congressman Gutierrez gave his remarks as scheduled after a brief demonstration," the NPNA spokesperson told Breitbart in an emailed statement.
"As you can imagine, some attendees here are scared, worried, angry and stressed. We understand that things like this happen in a democracy, especially in uncertain times like these," the spokesperson added.
One eyewitness who was present at the conference when the disruption took place offers a more detailed version of the event.
"A group of mostly non-black activists started screaming about black immigrant rights and rushed the stage blocking the speaker [Rep. Gutierrez] with a banner that said 'What About My Family?,' 'Black Immigrants,' 'What About Sex Workers, LGBTQ Folk, Muslim Immigrants, Criminalized Immigrants?,' and 'Not 1 More Deporation,'" the eyewitness told Breitbart News.

It's simple don't break the law !!!
Gee, Robert, why didn't they think of that!
Makes me sick to see ILLEGALS behave like this and get away with it. They are anarchists out to overthrow our way of life, our rule of law, our government. KICK THEM ALL OUT- they broke our laws by coming here ILLEGALLY - DEPORT THEM - don't break up the families - DEPORT THEM ALL!!!
That's a fact!
We need to release every single illegal immigrant currently in jail to ICE officials, and fly them IMMEDIATELY to their home countries to complete their sentences there.
Just sayin'.
Why fly? How about take them on empty school buses for the "ride home" if it's a contiguous country - but AFTER the wall is built so there is NO RETURN!!!
How bout use them as compost? I bet once the word gets out we have a compost shortage here, ' please come to the US,' how long before they would stop coming? Now that's a real lasting solution. Of course that might get some people overly excited, an yet, that just might be the answer someday?
could not have happened to a nicer guy
He would look far better hung from a rope and letting the crowd use him as a Piñata!
Communist piece of shit, oh I meant democrat!
Sounds good to me.

Best Graphics Card: Which Custom Graphics Card To Choose?
If you have walked recently on the sites specializing in the sale of hardware for PC, you have probably noticed as me a substantial increase in the value of best graphics cards for gaming for some time.
Indeed, the price increase can reach 20% for a model like the Radeon RX 580. Ditto for those of the GTX 10 series (1060, 1070 and 1080). The question that arises then is, why such a price spike?
Recent figures tell us that nearly 3 million graphics cards have been purchased for the purpose of mining cryptocurrencies. Sales that could reach a good 10-12% of GPUs purchased in 2017. This mining race focuses mainly on high-end cards. They are more powerful and therefore better able to undermine virtual currency. That's why they seem more affected by this price increase.
However, the volatility of these currencies (especially bitcoin and Ethereum) could quickly bring the market to a balance. Especially as manufacturers, AMD and Nvidia are working on the production of cards dedicated to mining. Anyway, AMD is the winner of this sudden attraction for best graphics cards for gaming, since the Sunnyvale firm can nibble 6.5 points of market share on its competitor Nvidia. The latter now stands at 66.3% market share against 33.7% for AMD.
Not all graphics cards look the same and builders use ingenuity to differentiate their models. What are these modified cards worth? Are they really faster and quieter than the more traditional "reference" models?
If AMD and Nvidia share the GPU market for desktop graphics cards, they do not design their cards – or very rarely. It is their partners who take care of it (brands like Asus, Gigabyte, Gainward, MSI, Zotac, Sapphire, etc.). These companies then have two choices: take the reference design or move towards a custom home design.
The changes are made to higher or lower degrees: some are content to affix a home cooling system, others develop a new circuit board. To perfect the point, some models are overclocked in the factory and therefore faster in games than conventional cards. If the manipulation can be done manually, it is above all to offer a guarantee of result.
Key points
Fan Type: There are two types of fans, axial and turbines. Axials push the air against the dissipation surface while the radials create a lateral airflow. If the first system tends to be less noisy, it does not expel the air outside the housing, unlike the second, which tends to be louder therefore.
Drivers: It is necessary to regularly update the drivers of the best graphics cards for gaming. This optimizes performance and avoids bugs in games. For some time, it is possible to automate the update via utilities provided by AMD and Nvidia: Gaming Evolved / GeForce Experience.
SLI and CrossFireX: To gain power, it is possible to use multiple cards in parallel. This is called SLI at Nvidia and CrossFireX at AMD. In both cases, it is common to observe problems in the first weeks after the release of some games. Micro-slowdowns can also be observed.
Coil-whine: A hissing phenomenon can occur under certain conditions, especially in game menus. It comes from the power stage whose components create micro-vibrations. Unfortunately, if some models are more subject than others, it is quite variable. On the same card template, one copy can be touched and not another.
Testing procedures
The performance of graphics cards are judged by submitting them to a panel of ten games. Then execute reproducible scenes after allowing the graphical chip to warm up in order to stabilize its operating frequency. All cards are tested in Full HD (1080p) but they also perform the same tests in 4K / UHD (2160p) on high end cards. Then they derive from these results a performance index reduced to a base of 100. They also measure noise levels using a sound level meter and record the power consumption of the entire test machine. All these tests are done in a closed box which contains a Core i7 3770K, 8 GB of RAM, an SSD and Windows 7.

New Delhi: Eying to make the sport professional for female footballers, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) on Tuesday launched the first-ever Indian Women's League (IWL) to be held at the Ambedkar Stadium in New Delhi from 28 January till 14 February.
The inagural edition of the IWL will feature six teams --Jeppiar (Puducherry), Eastern Sporting Union (Imphal), Rising Student's Club (Cuttack), Football Club Alakhpura (Haryana) and a team each from I-League and ISL clubs, Aizawl FC and FC Pune City.
The six participating teams would play each other in a round robin format with the top four teams advancing to the semi-finals.
20 Teams from across nine states had taken part in the first leg of the qualifiers from which nine teams qualified for the IWL prelims which were held in Cuttack in October 2016.
Dalima Chibber (FC Pune City), Oinam Bembem Devi (ESUFC), Sasmita Malik (Rising Student FC), Sanju Yadav (FC Alakhpura), Sumithra Kamaraj (Jeppiar Institute FC) and K Lalruaizeli (Aizawl FC) represented their respective teams at the launch.
Among other dignitaries who were present during the launch were Sports Minister Vijay Goel and chairperson of AIFF's women's division Sarah Pilot.
Speaking on the occasion, AIFF president Praful Patel said: "We at AIFF just cannot look at boys. In the last four SAAF championships Indian women's team have won. So we need to make women's team more stronger. We need to make professional women football players and the IWL is a step in that direction.
"This is a beginning for the women's football in the country. We are starting with six teams and hope to expand it to 16 in future. This gives our women footballers the option to take it up as a career."
Patel also said that going by the world ranking Indian women's football team has more chance to qualify for the World Cup.
"Our women's team is ranked 54 in the world which is higher than the men's ranking of 129 which means that for the upcoming Fifa women's World Cup in 2019, if we put in the right effort our women's team will have an outside chance of qualifying for the World Cup before the men," the AIFF chief said.

Research exercise: Comparing US Counter-insurgency Actions in the Philippines in 1950s and Vietnam in 1960s: Why did One Succeed and One Fail?
Robert M. Emmett
Download Full Text (364 KB)
This topic is one of interest because in both the Philippines and Vietnam the United States gave assistance to the local government in fighting a communist insurgency. In addition, many of the key American counter-insurgency commanders involved in the Philippines later went on to play key roles in the counter-insurgency strategy in Vietnam. My research is going to look into the specific reasons why counter-insurgency was effective in the Philippines but later failed to be effective in Vietnam despite the similarity of the insurgencies and the same counter-insurgent command structure.

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Dutch pharmaceuticals and chemicals group Akzo Nobel NV AKZOY, -0.94% NL:00913 said net income for the second quarter rose 22% to 182 million euros, less than expectations for a rise to between 187 million and 212 million euros. Revenue from present operations added 6% to 3.35 billion euros, against forecasts of a 3% decline. Excluding one-off items and divestments, operating income declined 9% to 312 million euros, including a 25 million euro charge for the new labor agreement with Dutch unions. "Market conditions in Europe were difficult; Asia continues to be a growth story. Chemicals was impacted by higher energy prices and incidentals," it said. Akzo Nobel reiterated it sees 2005 net income within the range of 2004.

With the launch of Apple Music, Jay-Z purchasing the oddball TIDAL and Spotify still crushing everything else, the world of music streaming has certainly gotten a little more interesting. One player that not many people will have heard of is Deezer. A music streaming service based in Paris, but with offices all over the world – including London and San Francisco – and over 6 Million subscribers in 180 different countries. Available online, on iOS and Android Deezer offers up features beyond their 35 Million+ tracks. Our UK readers can now tune in to TalkSport through the same app and there are 30,000+ radio stations as well as the ability to download and listen to 20,000+ podcasts. All through the same service. I've been taking a look at the overall service from Deezer, so let me introduce you to Deezer.
One Service, Everywhere
Spotify has got this sort of thing down to a fine art, but I was immediately surprised by what Deezer offers. For testing, I primarily used their online web app, the Mac app and of course the Android app (which I'll go in to more detail of, naturally). A quick note on the Mac app, I was impressed to see an iTunes import option, adding all of the songs and artists in my massive iTunes library to my Deezer recommendations and favorites, which essentially set my music free, if you like. The web app is nice and easy to use, and as Deezer streams in MP3 format, it works on any platform out there with little hassle. Deezer features a similar, and familiar interface no matter where you use it. There's a sort of Material Design look to this, but for the most part Deezer carves out its own look, and keeps things familiar across every platform out there.
The Android app is a pleasantly simple, yet approachable design. There's a sort of "feed" that offers up new mixes chosen for you, sports offerings and more. This is also where new album releases from your favorite artists (achieved by pressing a little heart on their page) will be recommended to you. The more you use the Deezer app, the smarter it will become, and the mixes and playlists recommended to you will become more targeted to you.
There's everything you could want here in the Android app really, including some highlights like the ability to download whatever you want to your device for offline listening. Deezer might be a jack of all trades, but the Android app gets music right, for the most part. As you'll see in the smorgasbord of screenshots below, there's a great library view that allows users to sift through their library as they would an offline music app, which is a nice touch, but unfortunately the player view itself can feel a little cluttered. It's not as neat as it could be, but it gets the job done.
A headlining feature of Deezer is Flow, a brutally simple and refreshing approach to just hitting the play button. In a nutshell, Flow is just a way of creating an on-the-spot mix no matter where or what you're doing. Flow works the same on any of the supported platforms you're using, and you can skip a track, like or dislike a song. The refreshing part about this is that when you hit the dislike button, Deezer immediately skips to the next track and vows never to play it in Flow again. Exactly the way it should be.
I really like Flow, and as someone that has a disturbingly broad appreciation for different genres, I was impressed at the variety it throws up. I'm not naive enough to see through this smart machine however, and I can see what tracks it serves up. Flow is only really as good as an artist's hits. For instance, I like Ellie Goulding's music right now, but I'm not a full-album listening convert, and so Flow is nice because the Goulding tracks it does throw up are all of her best hits. Genius.
Flow has its limits however, and this hinges on the amount of artists you have favorited, to get the most out of Flow, you need to have a lot of artists added to your library, otherwise you'll end up recycling the same sort of songs over and over. As I say, Flow is brutally simple and that's both its biggest strength and weakness. It is so refreshing to just let music play without a care in the world, but if you don't put in the effort then Flow won't be as much fun as it could be.
Subscriptions and Selection
Considering that all of these different services – Deezer included – feature free trails galore these days, jumping ship is no problem. Sticking with a service, paying the same each month is the problem for a lot of people. Thankfully, Deezer is one of the more flexible streaming services out there. There's a free model, which allows users to get unlimited music by using only Flow and Mixes, and they can only get Deezer picks through the website. There are ads and no downloading available in the mobile app. The Premium+ subscription (which I used to evaluate Deezer) comes in at £9.99 a month or $9.99 a month in US. This allows full access to everything Deezer has to offer including downloads and the ability to import all of your MP3s, too. Sadly, there's no family plan here, which gives a +1 to both Google and Spotify in a big way when it comes to pricing.
The overall selection of tracks here is broad, and impressive. Out of my personal tastes I found only a few gaps, including Metallica, but name a modern service that 'Tallica have embraced instead? All of the modern tracks are here, and there's a deep, impressive back catalog of pretty much every artist that's included. It might not tick everyone's boxes, but it certainly ticked the majority of mine, and admirably so.
So, is Deezer any good? Well, yes it's very good in fact, but the problem with music is that everything is objective and people are creatures of habit. I normally use TIDAL day-in-, day-out for my music streaming and I happily swallow the high price tag, because I have decent hardware to take advantage of it, and listening to music is important to me. So, for me Deezer didn't quite sound as full and realised as the songs from TIDAL did, but it's a whole lot more fun. There's no Flow feature in TIDAL, no integration of podcasts (another interest of mine) and it's easier to manage your Deezer library and of course downloading the 320kbps MP3 files will save on space vs TIDAL. What about your more run of the mill offerings though, like Spotify and Google Play Music?
It seems to me that Deezer has a ways to go before it can truly match those two. Google's playlist creation is pretty great, but then Spotify has them both blown out of the water with great curation and recommendation through tools like Taste Rewind and more. Where Deezer excels however, is where it counts; the music. Many of the tracks that modern listeners would expect to see are all accounted for, and they sound quite good. If you want a service that has all the tunes you know and love, then Deezer won't let you down, and while Flow and Hear This need a little work, Deezer brings with it Podcasts and sports radio as well, so there is some added value here, too.
Ultimately, this sort of thing comes down to personal preference, but Deezer is without a doubt an excellent option that you should definitely look into if you're fed up with Spotify or want to try something new. For those interested, you can try out Deezer here.

Software application development is the computer programming, documenting, testing, and bug fixing involved in creating and maintaining applications and frameworks involved in a software release lifecycle and resulting in a software product.
The software development paradigm helps developer to select a strategy to develop the software. A software development paradigm has its own set of tools, methods and procedures, which are expressed clearly and defines software development life cycle
A software can be used to address different needs and solve specific business problems or it can be used as an automation tool to streamline business functions like Sales, HR, Finance etc. Therefore each software development process will have usage of different platforms, languages, framework, technology etc.
Due to the growing number of IT companies there are lot many small, medium and big software development companies in Gurgaon offering highly customized software application development services with different business models and modes of operation.
A large percentage of software projects fail because the developers fail to realize that it doesn't matter how much time and planning a development team puts into creating software if nobody in an organization ends up using it.
Therefore to ensure higher usability and adoption rate software development companies in Gurgaon have invested in building specific team to take care of each and every stage in a software development process like Brainstorming, Coding, Designing, Testing, Implementation etc.
To summarize a software will have a higher user adoption rate when it has an appealing UI/UX design, best technology and framework and long term adaptability to address ever changing and highly dynamic business needs.

Every javascript developer knows; eval is evil
But since i am looking for the ultimative module technology in javascript, i read something very interesting about someone using eval as a module loader, which has 2 main benefits:
- Faster loading for mobile, because its loading a whole string at once
- Script seperating without doing fancy define wrappers like require.js in each module
So whats all about that? And could it be a solution, to only load several functions through eval? I mean from security aspects...

For years, marketers have turned to Facebook to launch targeted ad campaigns to drive existing and new customers along a purchasing path. With the right mix of creative and targeting, brands can reach their intended audience at a relatively low cost per acquisition, making Facebook ads a viable marketing tactic for most companies.
Because of this and the fact that Facebook has 2.3B monthly active users, brands continue to allocate a large portion of their ad budget for Facebook ad campaigns. In 2019, Facebook's digital ad revenue is expected to reach $67.5B — a $12B increase from 2018.
However, in order to achieve success on the platform and drive substantial revenue through an ad campaign, marketers need to focus on the successful execution of three main campaign components: the message, the creative and the audience.
Marketers have revealed that one of their biggest challenges is reaching their targeted audience. Facebook helps marketers accomplish this by grouping their targeting capabilities into what they call "core audiences" including location, demographics, interests, behavior and connections. Within these core audiences, there are 100s of targeting parameters to choose from.
Recently, however, Facebook has scaled back their available targeting criteria for specific industries, making it even more of a challenge for digital marketers to reach their intended audiences.
Below we've outlined some of the major targeting changes Facebook announced and highlighted ways to evolve your campaigns, so they won't affect your digital ad strategy.
Examining Recent Facebook Ad Targeting Changes
Last month, Facebook announced that it has begun removing various targeting options for ads on its platforms for specific users in order to settle five discrimination lawsuits wagered against them. The targeting options that will be removed for certain industries include age, gender and zip code.
In addition to removing targeting options, Facebook is also limiting the capabilities of its "Lookalike Audience" tool, which allows business owners to reach a new audience based off of data from existing customers. The changes include:
- Removing Facebook Group membership, age, and religious views for Lookalike Audience targeting criteria
- Adding a 15-mile minimum radius from any specific address for geographical targeting
For brands in the housing, employment, and credit industries that are taking advantage of these targeting criteria directly through Facebook's Ads Manager platform, this may be a surprising and unwelcome change.
Download our guide to discover 10 specific ways to increase conversions.
The question that remains, now, is how should brands evolve their digital strategy to continue to reach their intended audience? Thankfully, there are still other ways to leverage customer data in order to effectively reach potential and existing customers through Facebook.
Data Straight from the Source
The most reliable practice for obtaining data for use in hyper-targeted campaigns is by acquiring it directly from your customers. MVPindex's Audience platform helps brands collect and enrich valuable first-party data from their customers for use in targeted, personalized marketing campaigns.
Many brands choose to create segments in the Audience platform for use in Facebook campaigns—bypassing Facebook's broad targeting options and serving ads to a more exact segment of their audience based on valuable data. How do they accomplish this? It's simple.
Perhaps a brand wants to target females, ages 25-34 who purchased something within the last year and also like Ariana Grande, who is an influencer partner for an upcoming campaign. They can easily create and export this segment and upload it to Facebook to create a Custom Audience (that serves ads directly to them) or a Lookalike Audience (that serves ads to a similar audience that is modeled after this same criteria).
By creating your own segments from rich first-party data and uploading them to Facebook, you can more effectively reach your target customer for a variety of reasons:
- Facebook Ads Manager steers users to build broad segments, while segments built in the Audience platform are more precise and relevant based on user signals (thereby driving a lower cost per acquisition)
- Facebook only offers 1-5 brand affinities per a defined category (i.e. – sports), while you can uncover 1,000+ brand affinities to target via segments in the Audience platform
- Facebook doesn't allow you to export the audience to remarket through other mediums (follow up email, retargeting on LinkedIn), which is easy to do in the Audience platform
Best of all, if you own the data, you know exactly who is in the segments you're reaching through Facebook campaigns. On the flip side, if you generate an audience directly on the platform using Facebook's Lookalike Audience tool, you will only see an estimated reach (e.g. 9,000 – 12,000 people) and not be able to see the email or direct profile of the people who are receiving your ad.
Because of the way you can create segments in the Audience platform, you can still effectively target customers based on age, gender and zip code. However, we recommend going beyond basic targeting and consider some of the following more niche segments that might be impactful for your business:
Reaching Your Customers
Facebook remains a powerful mechanism to reach new and existing customers at a low cost per acquisition. Digital marketers, however, need to be savvy in their efforts and ensure that their ads are being served to the right audience.
First-party data helps steer digital marketers in the right direction and provides a wealth of insights into how to structure targeted, high-impact campaigns that will drive revenue for their business. Brands need to start taking advantage of this data and leveraging it in their own campaigns to dramatically impact both their ROAS and bottom line.

Spanish: Chimajá. English: Spring parsley. Family: Apiaceae. Genus / Species: Cymopterus pupurescens.
One of my very favorite herbs is one that appears in the spring before most anything else begins to turn green. It also is one of the least known plants as far as local herbal medicines go. This wonderful little herb is called chimajá in Spanish and is a member of the Apiacea (Parsley family) of plants.
Here in the Southwest of what is now the United States the original native people survived in winter by eating dried foods such as meat, corn, dried plums and various seeds. Spring would bring the first new green things to eat and the first green food to appear would be this yummy little member of that parsley family. Growing out among the chamiso and escoba del vibora (sagebrush and snake broom) the aboveground part of the plant is a little pale green flat, ground-hugging herb, which is edible and looks like parsley. But the really surprising part of the plant is the root, which is huge by comparison to the leaves. The root can be up to 1-1/2 inches in diameter and up to a foot long! Once you have peeled off the thick nubby root-bark you find a bright white, tender flesh that tastes very much like the South American root vegetable called jicama (Calopogonium caeruleum.)
Chimajá is used to make a traditional beverage consumed at Christmas, weddings, funerals and quinceañeras called Mistela. Mistela is made by soaking the leaves and roots of chimajá in whiskey or tequila for at least 30 days or up to a year followed often by adding piloncillo (crude brown sugar) or miel virgen (virgin honey).
As a medicine chimajá is what we call a carminative, which soothes an upset stomach and alleviates gas and cramping. One of the most noted uses of Mistela was for the treatment of the nausea and stomach upset due to hangover.
Drop by Taos Herb Company if you would like to have a recipe for Mistela.

Nancy Shaw, Sheep Take a Hike (Houghton Mifflin, 1994)
The thing about Sheep in a Jeep, ultimately, that makes it work as well as it does, and it works very well indeed, is the language. It is basic, it is easily remembered by both adults and children alike, and it is very well-constructed and well-presented. There's nothing in Sheep in a Jeep that feels like Shaw was stretching in order to fit the parameters of either the story she was telling or the educational goals she had set for herself. As a result, the story is a resounding success, and all of the other great things about the book are kind of icing on the cake. Sheep Take a Hike is the exact opposite. The illustrations are just as wonderful, maybe even more so, and the story is fun, but the language at the core of it is not as well constructed, nor as well presented, and more than once it feels exactly like Shaw was stretching in order to twist where she wanted to go in order to fit it into the parameters—both those mentioned above and the parameters that she's set for herself in the first book (the two are very strongly similar rhythmically). As much as I hate to say it given that the original is one of the best children's books ever written, this is a noticeably inferior product.
All that having been said, it's still the same lovable band of sheep, and if you discount the language issues that will have readers stumbling in certain parts the first few times through (though one will adapt pretty quickly), there is still a good deal about this book to like, and I ran through most of it above. Here, the illustrations are the kicker, and they are, not surprisingly, wonderful. So I'm certainly not going to say "you don't want to read this one to your kid", especially if you (and said kid) love the first one. But get it out of the library first to see whether it's going to stand up to the same repeated readings the initial book does. ** ½

Last night I had the most vivid birth dream ever. Ever. It was not the perfect birth, but the prettiest (okay, one of the prettiest) little girls was birthed out of my vagina! It so amazing. I think I woke up feeling all giddy...then I realized I've never pushed a baby out of my vagina.
In my dream, my midwife was gone or out of town or something (but it was the midwife I see now) and one of her partners was going to be with me for the birth. But, her partner had a midwifery student (which I'd be totally okay with). I remember getting to the hospital and I wasn't in a lot of pain. I felt like I needed to have a bowel movement and was a little uncomfortable. I remember wanting to walk a lot before I went to the hospital. I walked every where (this was even in my dream). So, when I got there, I told my husband and mom I was just going to go to the bathroom in the lobby. I knew I didn't want to get to the room, because they'd want to check. I even said something about if I push and a baby starts to come out, then we can go to the room.
Next thing I remember is laying on my left side and feeling a slight amount of pressure. I remember feeling the left side of my scar hurt ever so slightly, but I was not worried about rupture. Then, the midwife student draped me (ugh, I hated this part)...and yes, I was still in bed (not so fond of this part either). I pushed a couple of times (no counting or yelling) and out came a beautiful little girl with the curliest hair. I just kept saying "Oh my God, Oh my God." I even remembered thinking about women saying they couldn't believe they did it, but I don't think I said it.
Isn't that wild? I remember remembering in my dream. I remember what I said and what color things were. I remember before and after the dream. I could dream that dream a thousand times and I'd never get bored!

Erik Parks has been producing short films since he was a teenager. His latest short, Thieves, is a biblical allegory about Jesus and the two thieves on the cross. Now he's ready to take the next step and produce a feature length film.
When did you first develop an interest in filmmaking?
I've enjoyed making little movies since I was about 13 or 14 years old. It started with highly choreographed action movies starring myself and my brother, went on to 70's-style Kung Fu spoofs, and is currently into more dramatic territory. I've always enjoyed the art of storytelling.
What is your filmmaking background?
I majored in communication arts at Bryan College with an interest in film. Even got to be a part of a semester-long program in Los Angeles studying film and had an internship at a production company out there. The experience was eye-opening and further cemented my excitement for filmmaking.
What short films have you produced?
I've written and directed several shorts over the last few years and have enjoyed working with many of the same actors. The latest films I've made are Father(s), SNAKE, andThieves. Probably the most fun for me as a director was SNAKE. We had a major league baseball player make a cameo appearance, Christian music artist Cindy Morgan had a role in it, and on top of that we staged a bar fight scene as well as an intense car wreck. It was awesome.
Tell us about the awards your films have received.
Father(s) did quite well earning us BEST SHORT FILM awards at a couple different festivals. Quentin McCuiston, the lead actor, also got a BEST ACTOR award from one of them. Thieves is currently making the rounds in film festivals and so far has won a handful of technical awards.
Tell us more about your short film Thieves.
Thieves is set in an apocalyptic future where cities have basically become ghost towns. The main character, Thomas, meets up with two other survivors and must decide which one can be trusted. The set- up is pretty simple, but for me, it's a way to tell a much deeper story. Essentially it's the Christian journey. At some point, we all have a choice to make about whom we will trust. So this short was a way to incorporate a lot of biblical ideas and imagery into what really is an allegory pertaining to Christ and the thieves on the cross.
What are your filmmaking goals?
Simply put, to bring glory to the Lord. I want to make art, first and foremost. I love hinting at spiritual themes and pointing to the beauty of Christ in my films, but not at the expense of the art. To me, sermons are best left to the pulpit. But if we can combine an honest, compelling story with strong visuals and a subtle message, then I believe we have succeeded…awards or not. I've made several short films now, so the next goal is to get a feature film off the ground. I've got a script, I'm meeting with some folks and now just need to find the money to make it happen. So if anyone out there shares a similar passion, hit me up! (Shameless pitch.)

The operation was scheduled for Jan 6. We were told to go to Admissions at 9am. We picked up our blood donor (see previous post) at Tres Cruces at 8:30 and took her to the blood donation section at 8:45. We went to admissions to check in. When my wife didn't know what blood type she was, they sent us to the blood donation section to get typed. As we walked in, our donor was just finishing up. By the time they took my wife's blood and typed her, the card for our donor was finished and we took everything back to admissions.
Admissions asked the regular questions, checked her anti-tetanus card and the blood donor card and took us up to the room. We didn't see any 'wards' (4 or more persons in a room) on the floor we were taken to. We only saw private and semi-private rooms (2 in a room). As mentioned earlier, we signed up for a private room. The pictures immediately below are from that room.
Unlike the rooms I'm used to from up north, these rooms aren't sterile looking. They used a lot of wood to give the room warmth. The ante-room at the entrance was a nice touch. When there were more than 2 people in the room, it gave us a place to go and talk without disturbing my wife.
Since we were given the room at 9am and the procedure wasn't scheduled until 2pm, I took the time to check out all the room's toys and my wife watched some TV and talked to friends. The room includes a TV with 80 channels, a frigo-bar, telephone, air conditioning, mood lighting, a modern hospital bed with all the toys and a complete, spotless private washroom. I tested everything and it all worked. Very impressive.
The operation was delayed an hour because earlier patients had some unexpected difficulties. When the nurses showed up to take her to surgery, they also took us to the surgical waiting room. It was a sparse place but comfortable. The procedure took about an hour and a half. The doctor came out and told us everything went well and we'd be able to go up to the room in 20 minutes.
She was out of anaesthetic when we got up there and was hooked up with all the stuff we come to expect up north. I took the first shift, staying with her from 5pm until 8am the next day. The night nurse came in and showed me how to turn the chair into a bed, gave me a blanket, some food and told me how to reach her if my wife needed anything that evening. She didn't. But every 2 hours, a team of nurses came in and did a bunch of things, trying not disturb me, not that I could sleep anyway. Turns out that it's hospital procedure to have patients have an 'accompaniente' with them 24/7. It's a little tighter in a semi private room, but the same basics apply.
The next morning, I was relieved by my wife's cousin and went home to work and get some sleep. Her other doctors came to visit her that day, while they were there working. She had a lot of calls from friends here and in Canada. By the end of the day, her doctor said things went better than he expected and she could go home the next day.
I did the 4pm to 8am shift again that evening. Came to pick her up at 1pm and took her home. She's doing very well. Our overall exeprience with the Espanola's hospital facilities is extremely positive. We can honestly say we were never treated this well in the Toronto area's hospitals.
Note: The room (pictures below) is in the old section. The new section is more modern.

Alfagomma's Australasian Managing Director, Mr Rick Sacco explains – "This project has taken 2 years from signing to completion and whilst it has been challenging at times, it's satisfying to see this project come to fruition. From concept through to design this building will allow us to meet the demands of our expanding business now and into the future.
This facility will accommodate our National Head Office administration, Customer Service Centre, the design and engineering team and state of the art training centre.
Our National Assembly and Distribution Centre's provide logistic support to our mining and distribution branches through out Australia, also we have the capacity on site now to unload 15, 40 ft containers.
Moving inventory within a warehouse is challenging, as a result we have also invested heavily in a state of the art warehouse automation and software systems, installing a carousel which will improve accuracy and productivity.
Our dedicated team of 45 employees is an important ingredient to any business being successful, so we made the commercial decision to remain in the existing local area, to allow continuity in the business moving forward.
This also adds to the global network of Alfagomma Spa Italy which has been established for 60 years, employing approximately 3000 people globally, with 16 manufacturing plants in 5 countries, 79 subsidiaries and assembly plants in 21 countries and are the largest manufacturer of industrial and hydraulic hose in Europe"
