Press hard on the keyboard, it activates the 'trackpad' funktion
Cursor / Scrolling
I've used Fleksy keyboard until now.. and the "move cursor" functionality is extremely nice, tough it could be optimized more..
But it's so nice, to move the cursor within the keyboard, and not to have to go into the text.
I personally think, it could be made such like that:
Long press & hold on "space" and swipe left move curser to the left.. long press and swipe up.. move up..
Hi René
Thanks for your input! :)
Of course we'd like to implement 3D/Force Touch to give the user even more possibilities to directly access some features or characters. Unfortunately it's not widespread enough yet so we need to implement a fall back solution for all devices without this feature. That's why haven't implemented it yet. But it will come sometime. :)
This is a good idea. Since we don't have a space bar we have to find another solution. But we already have some ideas. ;)
But we first have to do some fine-tuning.
Thanks for your input and your support! :)
The use of 3d touch would be perfect for that
Why not using a two finger gesture to do the job.
See my idea: http://community.wrio-keyboard.com/topic/use-two-finger-gesture-to-move-cursor-from-left-to-right
I would prefer a Cursor-Functionality like in the original iOS Keyboard...
Hi Niklas
Thanks a lot for your feedback! You're right we need an easy possibility to move the cursor and a lot of users already voted for it:
We'll try to implement a solution for this soon. :)
I use in conjuntion TouchPal which have nice features like a 140+ character clipboard, cursor home page up and down end, etc
Hi Andreas
Thanks a lot for your feedback! :)
In my opinion it would be better to have a solution to easily move the cursor because then you don't have to delete the correct text. This might also be easier (and performancewise better) than to check when restore should be available and when not. What do you think?
Hi Alex
Thanks a lot for your feedback! I'll merge this topic as Andreas already hat the same idea 3 days ago. :)
this would be a cool feature, but I have genuinely no idea how to put this to practice with the current swiping features implemented in the keyboard. hire some genius and make her ponder over the question. :D
Andreas, I'll be honest with you. I think this is a stupid idea. Volume buttons are made for volume. What if you listen to music, it's too load and you want to lower the volume, but then your keayboard is open at the same time and then it's all a big mess all of a sudden. Nobody wants that.
Like that idea. We will think about it. :)
Unfortunately not all smartphones support force touch so a fallback would be needed.
The Apple Keyboard does that with Force Touch. Touch hard and ur Keyboard turns into a Trackpad. I would love having that option on Wrio.
Hi Martin
If everything works well with WRIO 2.0 development we will be able to implement a similar feature to move the cursor. 😎
As 3D Touch is not supported by a lot of devices (almost all Android devices) we plan to use two finger swipes which works similar to the current delete/restore swipe.
Janis & the WRIO team
Ist damit gemeint, dass ich mit mittels Druck auf die Tastatur den Cursor frei bewegen kann?Für mich ein absolutes Muss - ich benutze das beinahe bei jedem Text.
Da in Schweizerdeutsch die Autokorrektur nicht hilft, bin ich dauern am rumflitzen so.
Mit den Finger im Text selbst den Cursor ans richtige Ort zu bringen ist gelinde gesagt eine Zumutung.
Ohne dieses Feature bin ich effektiv schneller mit der herkömmlichen Tastatur und werde WRIO noch nicht benutzen.
Kann mir vorstellen, viele iOS 12 Benutzer (welche dieses Feature kennen!) werden das vermissen.
If your device has 3D Touch — which includes most iPhones since 2015's iPhone 6s — you can hard press the keyboard whenever it's present onscreen, turning it into a makeshift trackpad. If you have an iPhone SE or iPhone XR with iOS 12 —both of which lack 3D Touch —you can now long-press the spacebar to invoke the same trackpad.
Update please - danke.
Ja, auch für mich ist das eins der Wichtigsten Features. Ich hasse es mit dem Finger im Text zu scrollen ... bitte unbedingt wie im Stock Keyboard in beide Richtungen. Start mit 3D touch.
Yeahhh 😊
This would be a great way to go directly to the word you want to correct and in a very precise way as well! Now we have to tap the word and always place the cursor on good luck which always results in just before or after where you want to be. It would be good to see the word still and have control over the cursor on where you want it placed exactly! Please make this happen quickly? Thanks!

Sheri Fink published this nice piece in the New York Times yesterday on the legal issues surrounding state-imposed quarantines on travelers returning from countries with widespread Ebola transmission. In addition to the toll these policies have had on the individuals who have been put under quarantine, I took away from this article that there is still a need for better data on and communication about the risks of travelers being infected with Ebola. As it happens, this is the topic of my talk today at the Epidemics5 conference.
The CDC recommends active monitoring of individuals at high-, some-, and low-risk of Ebola infection. They encourage that state and local public health authorities to monitor individuals for symptoms of Ebola until 21 days after the individual's last possible exposure. Thousands of individuals have undergone active monitoring over the last year.
Using a few simple assumptions about the baseline risk of developing symptoms and the duration of time between exposure to Ebola and the beginning of monitoring, we have estimated the probability that an individual develops symptoms after an active monitoring period ends. Our calculations (see figure above) suggest that having a single duration or frequency of monitoring may result in quite different probabilities for individuals from different exposure categories. For example, under our assumptions, monitoring an individual with a 1 in 10,000 chance of developing symptomatic illness for 5 days gives rise to between a 1 in 10,000 and 1 in 100,000 chance of developing symptoms. Similarly, monitoring a higher-risk individual who has a 1 in 500 chance of developing symptomatic illness for a longer duration of 15 days yields a roughly similar chance of developing symptoms.
Our hope is that this work (which is still very much in progress) offers up some simple ways of looking at these data and risks that can communicate both what we know and don't know about a set of low-probability and high-cost scenarios in a way that is digestible to the general public and to public health decision-makers.
Here is the full slide deck for this talk:

General Question
Why are TV shock shows allowed to show people eating live animals?
Asked by hungryhungryhortence (12148) June 8th, 2009
I'm talking about reality show challenges where people are given live bugs and things to eat, not documentaries showing people who would eat these critters as part of their normal diet or survival type shows. Why does a poor stickbug or beetle have to be crunched on while alive? I'm sure there would be an uproar if they offered out a colorful butterfly instead.

Freeze your bills, not your home
The festive season will soon be upon us and it's the most expensive time of the year for energy bills
The Met office has predicted strong wind and rain over the next few weeks – even snow in higher regions – with predominantly lower-than-average temperatures throughout. The damp and the wind chill will likely leave many of us shivering at home, unless we turn on the heating – hence the increased energy usage in the colder months. For those on expensive energy tariffs, the price of comfort can become too expensive, and so winter becomes a battle for control of the heating. Kids want it higher, parents want it lower. Nobody wins.
Unfortunately fending off the cold may not be the only reason for higher bills this winter. Amid the unstable pound, wholesale prices of gas and electricity have increased due to higher importing costs. If suppliers were to keep their prices the same, their profits would drop, so chances are they will raise their prices instead. We have already seen many suppliers withdraw their cheapest tariffs and replace them with more expensive versions– a trend that is likely to continue.
If there was ever a time to switch to a cheaper tariff, it's now. Industry expert Mark Todd says: "We predict that prices are likely to rise before the winter is over, especially on big six tariffs. Switch to a fixed tariff to avoid the price hikes".
Switching is easy with an energy price comparison site such as the Telegraph Energy Service. You can get a list of all the tariffs available to you, with the annual cost for your particular usage. If you don't know your usage, you can get the annual costs for low, medium, and high usage, or you can put in how much you spend, and the calculator can work it out for you.
Using the service is quick and easy, and you can get a quote and find out how much you could save in only a few minutes. All the information you need is on your energy bill. If you would rather talk to an expert, the call centre is open 9am to 8pm on weekdays, and 9am to 5pm on weekends, so you have plenty of time to fit it in. It's best to switch to a fixed tariff, especially with prices likely to rise A fixed tariff will keep prices the same for the duration of the fixed period, which can range from 12 months to three years. Most people will be on a supplier's standard tariff, which can change price at any time and usually costs several hundred pounds more than the same supplier's best rates.
"Prices are likely to rise before the winter is over"
And is predicted to remain cold for the foreseeable future. Prices have already risen, and they're likely to continue rising. Most people will be on a supplier's standard tariff, which can change price at any time and usually costs several hundred pounds more than the same supplier's best rates. Don't put off taking action, or you could be looking at a large bill this Christmas.

Iran has vowed to skirt US sanctions and keep exporting oil. The US goal of cutting Iranian oil exports to zero is already being rolled back by reality.
Iran stood defiant against the reimposition of US sanctions on Monday as President Hassan Rouhani vowed to keep selling oil during what he described as a "war situation."
"America wanted to cut to zero Iran's oil sales ... but we will continue to sell our oil ... to break sanctions," Rouhani said in comments broadcast on state television.
Read more: Iran sanctions: 5 things to know
The new American sanctions that went into effect on Monday target Iran's oil exports and financial transactions, hitting the country's main source of revenue and hard currency.
They come at a time when Iran's economy and currency is reeling from US President Donald Trump's "maximum pressure" policy following the unilateral withdrawal of the United States from the 2015 international nuclear accord in May and a first tranche of sanctions in August.
Rouhani described his country as preparing to buckle down under assault.
"We are in the economic war situation. We are confronting a bullying enemy. We have to stand to win," he said. "Today the enemy (the United States) is targeting our economy ... the main target of sanctions is our people."
US wants to stymie Iran's oil exports
The United States has said it wants to reduce Iranian exports to zero barrels and would sanction countries and companies that buy Iran's oil. But the Trump administration has toned down that demand to avoid hurting ally economies and unsettling oil markets by taking OPEC's third-largest oil producer out of the market.
The US strategy relies heavily on Saudi Arabia pumping at its maximum capacity of 12 million barrels a day, up from under 11 million barrels today.
Read more: What is the Iran nuclear deal?
However, it is unclear if, and how fast, Riyadh can pump spare capacity to fill any gap left by Iranian crude. Tight markets and risk to supply in major oil producers like Libya, Nigeria and Venezuela raise the stakes. Rising oil prices also threaten to hamper global economic growth and hit consumers at the pump.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is expected to announce eight countries on Monday that will be granted temporary waivers from the oil-related sanctions. They are likely to include major buyers of Iranian energy such as Turkey, South Korea, India, Japan and Italy.
Iran's exports have already dropped by more than 1 million barrels per day since May, as some buyers remained cautious and sought to appease the United States.
However, Iran has years of sanctions-busting experience and is already turning off tanker signals and storing oil in offshore tankers. It has also started selling discounted oil to private buyers on a domestic exchange.
To keep the nuclear deal afloat, the EU, China and Russia are scrambling to roll out a special purpose vehicle to process transactions and oil purchases from Iran.

On Monday, fresh US sanctions against Iran come into effect, the next salvo in its economic conflict with Tehran. The main targets are oil exports and the financial sector. Europe is having difficulty forming a response. (05.11.2018)
The EU's vow to keep trading with Tehran despite new US sanctions is causing further friction with Washington. The creation of a special purpose vehicle (SPV) will help facilitate payments between Iran and Europe. (26.09.2018)
The Iran nuclear deal was a historic diplomatic achievement to prevent Tehran's pathway to a bomb. Here's our brief breakdown of what you need to know about the deal. (06.10.2017)
President Trump has pulled the US out of the international accord and will impose the "highest level of economic sanctions" on Iran. All eyes are now on European leaders to see if they can hold the deal together. (08.05.2018)
The new measures target 700 individual and entities in the financial, shipping and energy sectors. Eight countries, including Turkey, will be given waivers to keep buying Iranian oil. (02.11.2018)
An already-reeling Iran is preparing for the United States to reimpose all pre-2015 sanctions. The European Union has declared a general intent to assist Iran, but concrete steps in that direction are not yet evident. (02.11.2018)

My Version - Vintage Piano MusicJanuary 17th, 2009 in member junk
Hope I'm posting this correctly; the pages decoupaged on this thrift book shelf came from a vintage piano book. They didn't have the crusty/rusty brown, so I did a was with some umber acrylic paint (cut heavily with h2o).
Oh, the web techs will need to add: PAPER to list of materials!!
Birds are cut out from a large sheet of Cavallini & Co. decorative wrapping paper. For anyone who enjoys decoupage, Cavallini & Co. papers are a MUST! I think this pattern is "retired" -- bought it in Albuquerque a few years ago...

Successful agents know to be a true success they need to focus their energies on securing clients. They need to be in control of the home buying process. Their job is to act as rainmaker and continually generate more clients. But when buying a home do you want to be in control or controlling the process? You need to change the dynamics of how things are done so they are on your own terms. But don't lose sight over doing it the right way versus just doing it your way.
For example, most of the marketing by agents to is secure new clients not to actually sell the home being listed. Think of agent marketing like fishing. They are the fisherman and they are using bait to catch the fish. You, the buyer, are the fish. the bait is their marketing. To be in control you need to use effective tools. For example, stick with a good web site to gain information and don't start calling names on signs. Don't look at real esate magazines in the grocery store. These are primary devices that are not effecient at finding out information. Instead you have to rely on the agent and that puts them in control.

Dog Rescue
Hour after hour, day after day, month after month, year after year - there it was - tied up in an area called BTM Layout. Half-starved. No dreams of unrestrained freedom. Complete hopelessness. Perhaps waiting for the the bliss of death.
Finally, a complaint to CUPA and my friends there actually rescued it. The 'owners' gave up without any resistance!
Hats off to CUPA!
I am adopting the chap after he recovers at the ICU at CUPA. That might take ten days. Photos soon.

South Africa's SPCA
The NSPCA believes that an animal's welfare should be considered in terms of the five freedoms
- freedom from hunger and thirst
- freedom from discomfort
- freedom from pain, injury and disease
- freedom to express normal behaviour
- freedom from fear and distress
The NSPCA does not support the chaining of elephants and is opposed to any handling methods which may cause pain and suffering. In terms of the Animals Protection Act, Section 2(1)(b) – any person who
"confines, chains, tethers or secures any animal unnecessarily or under such condition or in such a manner or position as to cause that animal unnecessary suffering or in any place which affords inadequate space, ventilation, light, protection or shelter from heat, cold or weather;"is guilty of an offence.

Voltaire's Philosophical Dictionary - about Animals
Selected and Translated by H.I. Woolf
New York: Knopf, 1924
Scanned by the Hanover College Department of History in 1995.
Proofread and pages added by Jonathan Perry, March 2001.
What a pitiful, what a sorry thing to have said that animals are machines bereft of understanding and feeling, which perform their operations always in the same way, which learn nothing, perfect nothing, etc. !
What! that bird which makes its nest in a semi-circle when it is attaching it to a wall, which builds it in a quarter circle when it is in an angle, and in a circle upon a tree; that bird acts always in the same way? That hunting-dog which you have disciplined for three months, does it not know more at the end of this time than it knew before your lessons? Does the canary to which you teach a tune repeat it at once? do you not spend a considerable time in teaching it? have you not seen that it has made a mistake and that it corrects itself?
Is it because I speak to you, that you judge that I have feeling, memory, ideas? Well, I do not speak to you; you see me going home looking disconsolate, seeking a paper anxiously, opening the desk where I remember having shut it, finding it, reading it joyfully. You judge that I have experienced the feeling of distress and that of pleasure, that I have memory and understanding.
Bring the same judgment to bear on this dog which has lost its master, which has sought him on every road with sorrowful cries, which enters the house agitated, uneasy, which goes down the stairs, up the stairs, from room to room, which at last finds in his study the master it loves, and which shows him its joy by its cries of delight, by its leaps, by its caresses.
Barbarians seize this dog, which in friendship surpasses man so prodigiously; they nail it on a table, and they dissect it alive in order to show the mesenteric veins. You discover in it all the same organs of feeling that are in yourself. Answer me, machinist, has nature arranged all the means of feeling in this animal, so that it may not feel? has it nerves in order to be impassible? Do not suppose this impertinent contradiction in nature.
But the schoolmasters ask what the soul of animals is? I do not understand this question. A tree has the faculty of receiving in its fibres its sap which circulates, of unfolding the buds of its leaves and its fruit; will you ask what the soul of this tree is? it has received these gifts; the animal has received those of feeling, of memory, of a certain number of ideas. Who has bestowed these gifts? who has given these faculties? He who has made the grass of the fields to grow, and who makes the earth gravitate toward the sun.
"Animals' souls are substantial forms," said Aristotle, and after Aristotle, the Arab school, and after the Arab school, the angelical school, and after the angelical school, the Sorbonne, and after the Sorbonne, nobody at all.
"Animals' souls are material," cry other philosophers. These have not been in any better fortune than the others. In vain have they been asked what a material soul is; they have to admit that it is matter which has sensation: but what has given it this sensation? It is a material soul, that is to say that it is matter which gives sensation to matter; they cannot issue from this circle.
Listen to other brutes reasoning about the brutes; their soul is a spiritual soul which dies with the body; but what proof have you of it? what idea have you of this spiritual soul, which, in truth, has feeling, memory, and its measure of ideas and ingenuity; but which will never be able to know what a child of six knows? On what ground do you imagine that this being, which is not body, dies with the body? The greatest fools are those who have advanced that this soul is neither body nor spirit. There is a fine system. By spirit we can understand only some unknown thing which is not body. Thus these gentlemen's system comes back to this, that the animals' soul is a substance which is neither body nor something which is not body.
Whence can come so many contradictory errors? From the habit men have always had of examining what a thing is, before knowing if it exists. The clapper, the valve of a bellows, is called in French the "soul" of a bellows. What is this soul? It is a name that I have given to this valve which falls, lets air enter, rises again, and thrusts it through a pipe, when I make the bellows move.
There is not there a distinct soul in the machine: but what makes animals' bellows move? I have already told you, what makes the stars move. The philosopher who said, "Deus est anima brutorum," was right; but he should go further.

Some great music
After a long time, we actually sat through an entire concert.
Mormukut and Manoj Kedia from Giridih performed in Bangalore yesterday. The sarod and sitar duo started off very beautifully. They played Raag Jhinjhoti and did a very fine Alaap Jor and Jhala. The Teen Taal
compositions were good as well, but I was left vaguely dissatisfied by the usual convergence to a crescendo where the nuances of Jhinjhoti were sacrificed in the interests of 'performing'. Pilu was nice but a bit shorter than I would have liked. All in all, a pleasant performance.
This was followed by a remarkable concert by Dhondutai Kulkarni. Your typical little old lady, but with a great voice and complete mastery. Simply loved her wonderful Pulashree, with the beautiful use of Shuddha Madhyam and a rising Komal Rishabh. She sang Desh, Rageshree and Shahana. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening.
Tabla accompaniment in both cases was pleasant.
And now I am listening to Amritvarshini by the late Pandit Jitendra Abhisheki.
A weekend well-spent!

Here is an example
Here is a piece by Zakir Hussain
Sunday, March 22, 2009
Horrendously difficult on a violin, mathematically brilliant and lovely to hear.
A modern version from Rashid Khan
The beauty of impermanence
One looks back with surprise - was I that dumb? How could I have said such and such or done this or that? Was that really me?
I read a science fiction story once that talked about the conquest of death and the accompanying agony of those who wanted to be rid of too many memories, good or bad. The fear of passing on then perhaps went away. We shall move from one reality to another and never know the difference. The observance of cruelty, of a certain God who keeps desperate hopes alive but looks away at the suffering and pain of the innocent - a message garbled by philosophical rubbish, designed to keep us sane - yes, this is not a reality I am interested in. To that extent, I am happy when time accelerates and the pain of the innocent stops. But the cries of their agony will last beyond time.
I wrote a book many years ago on the survival of the animal kingdom and our own eradication as a punishment for centuries of depravity. The logic of suffering of the mute escapes me entirely. But we are superior, we are told, and have the right to erase and inflict.

Water & Fire
And we were face to face with a forest fire that stopped 20 feet away from where we were.
I was happy that I was as fit as guys half my age, which may not be saying much, given our sedentary lifestyles.

Finally, a Great Concert
We listened to Alka Deo Marulkar of Goa at the Gokhale Institute.
After a little warming up hesitation, she really stunned the audience. These were the Raags she sang
1. Marwa
2. Purvi (truly delightful)
3. Tilang (a variation)
4. Nat Bhairav (I think, but I could not precisely nail it down)
5. Bhairavi
I greatly appreciated the peace on her face when she sang. I think she is an evolved soul.
The tabla was a bit loud. The accompanists were very average.
Don't miss her if she visits your part of the Galaxy.

After the huge success of "Endrendrum Punnagai", director I. Ahmed has joined hands with Udhaynidhi Stalin for his upcoming movie "Manithan� produced by Red Giant Movies. After the massive hit of Oru Kal Oru Kannadi, Udhayanidhi Stalin and Hansika team up yet again for Manithan. Prakash Raj, Aishwarya Rajesh and Vivek also have played prominent roles in this movie.
Santhosh Narayan has collaborated with Ahmed for the first time churning out 4 impressive tracks. Madhie cranks the camera while Selvakumar is incharge of the art direction. Manikanda Balaji takes care of editing.
Manithan is a court room drama dealing with socio political issues and is loosely based on real incidents.
The challenge was to replicate high court and a mannady street in great detail and fill the sets with 100�s of extras each day , It was a tedious task to coordinate such a big ensemble� cast & crew� but in the end it was worth the effort says Director Ahmed who is happy and confident with the outcome.
The movie was shot in Pollachi & Karaikudi and now the final leg is on in Chennai and Challakudy.�

It seems like it should go without saying that patients should be a healthcare provider's primary focus. According to a recent national survey of NEJM Catalyst's Insights Council, the current provider environment makes delivery of high-value, compassionate care a challenge. According to the survey, the biggest part of that challenge involves finding more time with patients so that clinical staff can spend the right amount of time to provide the right care. This time can greatly impact patient experience and satisfaction which are also driving factors in creating a high value compassionate care environment.
Earlier this month, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced that they will be calculating 2020 risk scores by adding 50% of the risk score using diagnoses from encounter data (supplemented with diagnoses from RAPS inpatient data) and FFS data and 50% of the risk score calculated (using the 2017 CMS-HCC model) using RAPS and FFS diagnoses. This doubles the current percentage of encounter-based risk scores used for the final calculation, meaning every encounter reported up stream will soon be more important than ever.

'Mom's spirit is with me': Bobbi Kristina reveals she wants to follow in Whitney Houston's footsteps in emotional first interview with Oprah
- The 19-year-old says she hears her mother's spirit encouraging her
- Bobbi Kristina said she wants to sing and act carrying on her mother's legacy
- Admits she feels pressure but believes her mother prepared her
- Tells of final day with her mother where she slept in Whitney's arms
She has seen the negative effects fame can bring but Bobbi Kristina Brown has revealed that she is set for a career in acting and singing – just like her mother Whitney Houston.
In a revealing and touching interview with Oprah Winfrey which aired in the U.S last night, the 19-year-old spoke about her mother's death for the first time.
Bobbi told Oprah that she wants to carry on her mother's legacy and how she hears her mother's spirit all the time encouraging her.
Following in her mother's footsteps: Bobbi Kristina reveals she wants to pursue a career in singing and acting just like her mother
Last moments: The teenager also told Oprah of her final day and night with her mother, before she passed away on February 11, 2012
She said: 'I still have a voice – yeah we are going to do the singing thing, we are going to do the singing and the acting.'
And asked if she felt a burden because of her mother's extreme talent and success she replied: 'It's a lot of pressure but she prepared me for it.'
The teenager also told Oprah of her final day and night with her mother, before she passed away on February 11.
Staying strong: The 19-year-old kept her composure throughout the interview and Oprah avoided topics including drugs, how her mother died and her father Bobby Brown
First interview: The 19-year-old spoke to Oprah in Atlanta - this is the first and only interview she has given since her mother's death
Born to sing? The 19-year-old told Oprah that while she does feel pressure because of her mother's talent, the interview also showed archive footage of the mother daughter pair on stage
She explained: 'The very last day, it was so early in the morning I went to go and get her I was like "Will you come and lay down with me."
Bobbi Kristina added: 'She was rubbing my head and I slept in her arms all day and all night long.'
The daughter of Whitney and husband Bobby Brown was composed throughout the short interview, which took place at her aunt's house in Atlanta.
While at times she sometimes repeated Oprah's words back to her - which gave a sense the former talk show host was leading the interview to her own rhythm - Bobbi did articulate herself clearly.
Oprah has been criticised for conducting the interview less than a month after Whitney passed away but during the interview she steered clear of subjects which might cause too much distress and didn't bring up the subject of drugs, how Whitney died or her father.
Comforting: Bobbi Kristina told Oprah she was coping and coming to terms with her mother's death
Hearing mom: Bobbi told Oprah that she can hear her mother's spirit and that the late singer is always encouraging her to do get through the tough times
Staying strong: The teenager also said that most people didn't know how great her mother's spirit was
Bobbi Kristina explained how she has surprised herself in coming to terms with her mother's death.
She admitted that months ago if someone had told her this would happen she said: 'I would have said I wouldn't have been able to do it.'
But Bobbi Kristina said that she feels her mother is with her and she often speaks to her.
She explained: 'I can hear her voice in spirit talking to me "I'm right here I've got you" I can always feel her with me.'
'She passes through me all the time.'
Warm embrace: The interview was brief and took place in Bobbi's aunt and uncles home where she is staying she isn't at Whitney's home in Atlanta
She was my everything: Bobbi said that she was so close to her late mother and that Whitney in fact her best friend
Bobbi also admitted she sometimes forgets the singer is gone: 'Sometimes know I walk in the house and still call her name.'
She explained how a light might go on at home and she said: 'I am like "Mom what are you doing"'.
Whitney's daughter admitted that her emotions had been up and down since her mother's passing.
She conceded: 'It does it comes in waves one minutes I can be laughing and happy and it will come over me you know it's my mom and I'll start crying but I will hear her again "keep moving.I'm still right here."'
She also said that while she can sing Whitney's songs herself she can't yet listen to the tracks.
The teenager who currently lives between the home she and Whitney shared in Atlanta and her aunt and uncle's home, spoke of the close bond she shared with her late mother, and said they were best friends.
Growing up: The interview also showed footage of Bobbi and her mother - including a shot of Whitney singing to her daughter at an awards ceremony
Doting mother: Whitney was seen singing Happy Birthday to Bobbi at an awards ceremony in 2000
Bobbi said: 'She wasn't only a mother she was a best friend, a sister, a comforter – she was this spirit that she had no matter where she was.'
The aspiring singer admitted that like any mother daughter pair they had their arguments but added: 'That was still my mother my confidante and she was my everything and I was her everything.'
And touching on the speculation and reports that have emerged in the wake of her mother's death Bobbi was quick to defend her mother.
She said: 'So many people are saying so many other things, they don't know who she really was.'
'All that negativity it's garbage – that's not my mother that's not who she is. In reality I know who she was, her family know who she was, you know who she was.'
Close support: Bobbi was seen giving her aunt Patricia Houston a kiss at the end of the interview
Oprah asked Bobbi if she knew how insecure her mother was, something that Whitney's The Body guard co-star Kevin Costner had mentioned at her funeral.
The teen said she did know and revealed how the singer always asked her 'Did mommy do OK? Did I look ok?'
Curiously the teen also revealed that she didn't realise the height of her mother's fame or her iconic status around the world - until she was gone.
She explained: 'I just saw her as mom.'
'When I realised that my mom was a worldwide icon was when we did go on tour and then the funeral and everything.'
'This woman made an impact on the world.'
Tearful: Oprah also spoke to Whitney's sister-in-law Patricia Houston (L) and her brother Gary

According to Moolala author Bruce Sellery, going back to your bank for a mortgage, primarily because you've been a customer "forever," is "zombie behaviour."
Sellery made the comments during a Lang & O'Leary Exchange appearance Monday.
"A lot of people would say it's loyalty. I would say it's lazy," he adds.

Two BC cities are tops on a list of Canada's investment hot spots, according to a recent report from Business Review Canada.
The review broke down Canada's regional economies by province, and then dug deeper to find emerging markets in small- to mid-size communities ripe with opportunity for investors.
When the dust had settled, the BC communities of Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows, along with Surrey, came out on top of the ranking. They share the honour with Red Deer, AB, and Barrie, ON – also named among the most desirable communities to purchase investment properties.
Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows are noted for both commercial and residential investment potential. The Translink/Gateway Project is underway – a move that will improve transit and infrastructure, making for a popular new choice for residents and businesses looking for close proximity to Vancouver.

A new poll for one of Canada's biggest banks reveals many Canadians don't have a reserve fund set aside to cover unexpected emergency expenses.
According to the poll conducted for CIBC, 45% of Canadians have no emergency savings. And if they were to encounter an unplanned expense they would likely have to dip into retirement savings or take on debt in order to cover the shortfall.
The survey, which was conducted by Harris/Decima on behalf of the bank, found that younger Canadians are less likely than older Canadians to have an emergency fund.
Among Canadians aged 45 to 64, 60% say they have funds put aside for an emergency.

Episode O: Introduction
Hello, and welcome to the American History podcast: episode 0, Introduction. My name is Shawn Warswick, your host for this podcast which will explore the history of the United States.
In this first episode, my goal is to simply lay the foundation for the podcasts which will follow, and to answer two simple questions. What is this and why? This is a podcast about the history of the United States, starting BEFORE the political entity known as the United States existed. We will cover many of the familiar topics of American history, but also many things which, perhaps, are not so well known. And we certainly will be covering them in far more depth than what is often done in say, a history course in school.
The second question, why am I doing a podcast, is quite easy to answer. Just as probably almost every other history podcaster, I love history and have since I can remember. I loved going on family vacations to places like Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon and stopping along the way at different historical locations.
As a teacher, I really hate being answerable to some distant education board and having to teach the things they say are important. The beauty of this podcast is that I can focus on what I think is important and interesting. I can also go at my own pace. Furthermore, as a professional historian and teacher, I despise how oftentimes the mainstream culture, and even some of my own professionals, caricature people and events, boiling them down into almost a cartoon version of history.
In general, I love podcasts, and have been inspired by both podcasters in general and history podcasters specifically. First, I need to thank Tom Woods. He has been an inspiration when it comes to podcasting, and if it weren't for his advice, this show would not exist. Hopefully I do him justice. Secondly, the folks at podcastwebsites deserve a major bit of my gratitude. There is certainly no way this show would exist without their technical expertise. I might know history, but I do NOT know the technical aspects of the internet. They have been amazingly helpful with things I knew nothing about. Finally, some of the history podcasters who've inspired me are Robin Pearson of the History of Byzantium podcast, which, if you haven't listened to, you really should. Others include Jaime Jeffers of the British History Podcast and the History of English podcast's Kevin Stroud.
The way the show will work, at least the plan of the way it will work, is for a new episode to come out once a month, on the 1st of the month, so you will have a new episode quite soon. The reason for the month delay is to allow me to research and write the episode. While I lecture on these things all the time, I want to make sure I've given you a narrative that is in depth and worth your time. I also hope to do some bonus episodes from time to time on subjects that are either a. not covered in the narrative or b. a topic that is going to be covered in the narrative at some far off future date. Ideally, if the interest is there, I'd like to do two episodes each month at some point. But for now I'm able to commit to one per month.
I'd also like to mention the website, theamericanhistorypodcast.com. Every episode will have a page with the show notes as well as links to any sites which I mention as well as a list of resources used to create the episode. I also would like to invite you, when you visit the site, to sign up for email updates on the show.
So, a little about myself and my credentials. I'm a historian. I have a B.A. and an M.A. in history and I'm currently two courses away from finishing coursework on my Ph.D., also in history. I teach history at the high school level. The courses I've taught are Geography, World History, U.S. history, US Government, Economics, Advanced Placement World history, AP US history and AP European history. I've also taught IB history of the Americas for the last three school years.
I specialize in 19th an 20th Century US Military History and US Mexico Borderlands. I am particularly fascinated between the ideas of empire and border formation and I love reading about World War II in the Pacific as well as the Vietnam War and the American Empire. There is a belief, in some circles, that military history is, at least in academia, a bit out of fashion. However, honestly quite a few academic historians write on war, albeit using the methods of what is called the new military history. But enough of that. Perhaps we can discuss this in either a future episode, or, more likely, in a future bonus episode.
So where will the show be going from here? Well, episode 1 takes a look around the hemisphere in 1491. We will quickly visit the Incas, Aztecs and some areas in North America to kind of get our bearings. From there we will continue in episode 2 to look at native peoples in the Americas, including the mound builders and the Indians of the southwest. Episode 3 will discuss Indians and the way they waged war and how that differed from Europeans. Episode 4 is when we will fully introduce European empires and the narrative will move forward from there.
Because there is a huge misconception out there that history should be only facts and no bias or opinion, I'll warn you now, I am biased. We all are, of course, misperceptions notwithstanding, but I wanted to make that clear up front. I'm an anarchocapitalist and a follower of the Austrian school, especially on economic issues. However, my goal is not to convert you all to anarchism, but to present an informative podcast with a highly informative and entertaining narrative. So while the angle I'm taking may sometimes differ from what you are used to, or perhaps expected, please give the show a chance. I'm sure you'll find it both informative and entertaining.
That's all for today. We will see you next time.

I cannot believe that a little over ten years ago, Shawn was teaching me economics and geography. Having conversations with this man, in and out of the class room, was more than what the education system provides. It's great to hear him again, and to be learning from him again! Keep it up Shawn! I am watching out for all the ones that come out!

Dehydrating Breather Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2017 - 2025
Global Dehydrating Breather Market: Overview
The global market for dehydrating breather is expanding due to the large-scale production of electrical equipment across the world. Dehydrating breathers are essentially used in the electrical industry where several components and parts are required to be ridden of any form of moisture. The function of the dehydrating breather is to prevent air moisture from coming in contact with the oil of electrical equipment. The dehydrating breathers are extensively used across the electrical industry where even a tiny speck of contempt could have dire consequences. In transformers, the insulating and cooling liquid expands, thus, displacing the air in the expansion vessel.

Aerial view of Stellenbosch with university housing in ...
Stellenbosch is located in South Africa's Western Cape Province, approximately 30 miles from Cape Town's city center. Stellenbosch is the second oldest town in South Africa (founded in 1679), and has been able to retain historic elements, such as its iconic Cape Dutch colonial architecture, while also embracing new technology and conveniences. The small size of the town, combined with its proximity to large, cosmopolitan Cape Town, work together to maximize local cultural immersion opportunities while facilitating access to beaches, museums, cultural centers, and places of historic importance. Stellenbosch itself is a major destination for art, culture, dining, outdoor recreation enthusiasts, and wine connoisseurs, but students interested in exploring beyond the local area can utilize public transportation for daytrips into the Cape Town area to visit Table Mountain, Robben Island, Greenmarket Square, the city's 20+ museums, and the Cape of Good Hope, among other attractions.

Dominance in Contrasting Pairs
I've found that breaking down the painting process into discrete steps goes a long way to making a successful piece. For example, I like to think of the types of contrast that go into a painting and the logical order in which one might attack them. I look at value first and the amount of light and dark that I want to use. In order of attack, other contrasts include:
1. Value (light/dark)
2. Shape (round/rectangular)
3. Temperature (warm/cool)
4. Hue (think of complementary pairs such as red/green)
5. Brushwork contrasts (think of thick/thin paint, opaque/transparent passages, hard/soft edges)
You can probably think of others.
Contrast pairs should always be weighted in favor of one of the extremes. One member of the pair should cover more real estate than the other. If you look at the painting above, you can see how I approached dominance:
1. Value. My scene was a lot of light with just a little dark.
2. Shape. Most of the big shapes are prismatic with a few, smaller and rounder shapes.
3. Temperature. Most shapes are warm with the small shapes being shadowed and cooler.
4. Hue. Most of the painting lies in the blue/green part of the color wheel with less of it in the yellow/red part.
5. Brushwork. I used mostly thick, opaque paint with some thinner, more transparent passages in the shadows.
Working in this way guarantees you a painting with a lot of interesting contrasts to lure the viewer's eye.

I was sitting at my table looking at a painting I'm working on - wondering why it's not working the way I'd like. Bam! your new entry popped up. I read it, looked up at my painting and you nailed it. The most important section was equally light and dark values.I got up, made some corrections and... problem solved. Talk about perfect timing. Thanks!

Cool painting Michael! And thanks for the contrast list. I have a list I made into a mnemonic to help me remember it, She Fed Her Little Boys Cookies (SFHLBC), but it's meaning is a trade secret ;-) I may have to amend it after reading your post.

Compulsion Games' debuts a new We Happy Few gameplay trailer at Microsoft's E3 2016 presentation, and it's a terrifying, surreal look at a dystopian, drug-fueled society.
Microsoft's E3 2016 presentation has had quite a few indie game surprises, and there are perhaps none quite so exciting as the debut of Compulsion Games' We Happy Few gameplay trailer. One of the most anticipated horror games of 2016, We Happy Few is a game developed by a team of devs located in Montreal, Canada, a location that also houses studios with international pedigrees like Ubisoft. Montreal has long been considered one of Canada, and the world's, biggest gaming nexuses, and Compulsion Games will look to solidify that reputation even further with its exciting first-person survival horror game.
The E3 gameplay trailer illustrates the main character struggling to hide the fact that he has stopped taking a government-prescribed drug called Joy. People who do this are called Downers, although it's the society they live in that's the real drag - the E3 presentation shows just how powerful the drug is, causing people taking it to hallucinate that a dead rat is a pinata, and its splayed innards are pieces of candy. It's truly one of the most unsettling gaming moments in recent memory, and fans disappointed by the end of Allison Road should find themselves excited by the prospect of another game designed to prey on gamer uneasiness.
The game will include action sequences as well, as demonstrated by the gameplay trailer including a tutorial that both introduces gamers to the horrific world they will find themselves inhabiting and to the basic mechanics they will need to defend themselves from the police that will attempt to force them to take their medication. Unlike Uncharted 4's dialogue options, it appears that in We Happy Few, choice really does matter, and it will be interesting to see where gamers progress from the game's unsettling beginning.
We Happy Few will be available for Xbox One and PC, and will debut on Xbox Live Preview on July 26, 2016.

Prioritize your must haves!
There are all different kinds of homes available in El Dorado County. In order to help you navigate through all the options, you need to first determine what features are most important to you. Decide how many bedrooms and bathrooms you need. Prioritize what additional features and amenities that you must have or can live without. Are you looking for a horse property or one in a quiet suburban neighborhood? Does your family want a more natural setting or metropolitan one? Determining all of these "must-haves" will help you narrow your home search. Be cognizant of what you desire in a home as well as what features are deal breakers. Always stay flexible with your expectations though! You might find your dream home has features that you were not expecting that you wanted!
Establish your price range.
Before you start actively searching for your home, it is advisable to secure Financing first. This allows you to know what you can actually afford. Once you know your real price range, you will avoid wasting time looking at homes that are outside of your budget.
Begin your search online.
The internet is a helpful tool in today's real estate market. You are able to browse through home listings on your own time. This process can be overwhelming, though, as you try to navigate through all of the online pages. Our MLS Listings helps you narrow down your search by choosing unique options.

They are experienced in handling the negotiations and paperwork that come along with the home buying process, eliminating potential stress and confusion for you every step of the way. We will listen to all of your desires for your El Dorado County home and make sure to show you the homes that meet your expectations.
Schedule Home Showings.
Now that you have narrowed down your search, ask your realtor to set up showings with each of the homes you are interested in. Home viewings are your opportunity to see the house itself as well as the neighborhood that it is located in. As you search the home, make sure to thoroughly inspect its exterior and interior and ask questions! You want to be fully informed in your decision. It can be helpful to bring a notepad to jot down anything you notice about the house to assist you as you continue the process. You are about to make a major investment so you want to make sure that you love the home and do not have any concerns about it.
Be patient.
Finding your dream home is a process. You might be lucky and find it immediately or you might have to search many homes before you finally find it.

My Encyclia Phoenicea has finally opened the first bud. It took a long time. With the little spike from beginning of November 2011 until 1.28.12 with the first bud fully open. But the fragrance is very lovely like a piece of chocolate.
Love it!
thanks cathy, it was definately worth the wait.
That is a stunning flower! I love encyclias so much-what is the cross? Cordigrera plus another enc?
Beautiful bloom - such rich colors! The shape of the lip especially made me wonder whether there was Oncidium or Miltonia in its background. Nope. I just looked it up and OWiz says it's now Chloraea phoenicia and no further information. I assume the RHS has been busy again, renaming things.

Congratulation Gabriela very beautiful and worth to wait for almost about 2 months, good thing the smell is fantastic.
Gorgeous flower!
Lovely bloom. Love the coloration and form. Thank you for sharing.
It would still be Encyclia phoenicea, but this flower is not phoenicea. It appears to be an Enc. cordigera hybrid; maybe someone else will recognize it. It usually takes a couple of generations of hybridizing to flatten the sepals and petals of Enc. cordigera.
Encyclia's are favorites of mine also. That is one classy bloom you have there and since it wears a fine perfume, that doubles the pleasure. AL
