This is a strange thing. Have anyone really got the Zero W to show up in the net by only adding ssh and the wireless info file?
No, i've tried different image writers, different Raspians, different SDcards, different file editors, even a different font and different indent. Yesterday I tried over twenty video tutorials and everyone failed just as they said the word Putty. Just for the fun of it I've just used putty to access my other headless Pi's
It reminds me of when I was a Talktalk customer and I lost my Internet connection, "can you re-install windows, can you use a different modem, can you use a different cable " in reality the connection was down and no amount of anything would work.
Are you using a word processor to write the wpa_supplicant.conf file? You should use a simple text editor such as Notepad++.a different font and different indent
How old were they? The requirements for Raspbian Stretch are different from Jessie - the country code Must now be included in wpa_supplicant.conf.Yesterday I tried over twenty video tutorials and everyone failed just as they said the word Putty.
Then you have a working wpa_supplicant.conf file on those Pi's. Copy it to your PC (FTP, or even cut and paste into Notepad++) and use that on the Zero W.Just for the fun of it I've just used putty to access my other headless Pi's
This is why you shouldn't use Youtube for instructions. The videos are often old and out of date. Even my earllier post in this thread was written for Raspbian Jessie, and things have changed since then. The main difference is with the wpa_supplicant.conf file, but I'll post the entire updated procedure again.spex357 wrote: ↑Tue May 15, 2018 11:18 amNo, i've tried different image writers, different Raspians, different SDcards, different file editors, even a different font and different indent.

Check the TextEdit configuration to make sure it is not converting straight quotes to curly quotes (that breaks wpa_supplicant.conf).coenvanwyk wrote: ↑Thu Oct 18, 2018 6:37 pm...with a text editor other than TextEdit.
to use a pi-zero with a lan connecton you will need a usb hub with nic/port like https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/thre ... -connector . with such a device (not the cheapest ebay/far east variety due to driver issues) when hooked upto your lan your pi-0 will boot up and retrieve an ip addy from your dhcp server(router?)coenvanwyk wrote: ↑Thu Oct 18, 2018 6:25 pmI did as recommended, but still no pi on Lanscan or bluetooth. I will try again, maybe I did something wrong. Had a problem creating a .config file, Word would not save it as such, not even in .txt mode. Managed a workaround, renamed it on the desktop, but no go. I will check again.
I am interested in the other suggestion, to connect via eth0 DHCP. I have an etherned connection on the Mac but how do I connect the pi to it? Things are still Greek, but I am trying.
This means you Pi0W is booting correctly, and the problem is with the editing or creation of the files. As I said above, make sure that TextEdit is in pure text mode and is not reformatting the file. Mac text editors converting straight quotes to curly quotes is a known issue.coenvanwyk wrote: ↑Thu Oct 18, 2018 6:37 pmI note that both the ssh.txt and wpa_supplement.config files I put on the boot card disappeared, so perhaps I did something right.

Which image/post are you referring to, the pre-configured USB Gadget image from 2 posts up, or the default Raspbian with a pre-configured wpa_supplicant.conf from the post above?coenvanwyk wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 4:51 pmThanks, HawaiianPi, I downloaded, flashed, installed, connected. Still waiting, and nothing on the LanScan
The default Raspbian is not configured for USB Gadget mode, but my image works on my Win10 PC. It's been awhile since I've used a Mac, but as far as I know the same configuration should work on Windows, Mac and Linux.coenvanwyk wrote: ↑Sat Oct 20, 2018 6:04 pmHi HawaiianPi,
I tried your version, then also the Rasbian stretch version from their website. Neither made the Mac download anything that I could see.
A quick google search said to look in: System Preferences > Keyboard > Text, and Uncheck the "Use smart quotes and dashes" checkbox.coenvanwyk wrote: ↑Sat Oct 20, 2018 6:04 pmI did not see any settings in TextEdit,
You can connect to WiFi while using USB Gadget mode. Just create a pre-configured wpa_supplicant.conf file like the example in my earlier post above, and put that on the small FAT32 "boot" partition. And if it fails again, we can troubleshoot it since you can SSH in now.coenvanwyk wrote: ↑Sun Oct 21, 2018 9:39 amHi HawaiianPi,
Before rebooting the router etc, I thought to try the USB - cable route. I am flashing the image you provided, 2018-06-27-raspbian-stretch-lite_Pi0USB.img again, and will see what happens.
It seems that my Ios (El Capitan 10.11.6) has a RNDIS driver. Now to enable sharing: the google experts say to enable network sharing. If I open Internet Sharing > Ethernet I get a warning that my ISP might cancell my contract for interfering with their network!! However, Network preferences say Ethernet is connected. Internet sharing by WiFi is enabled but seems then to stop the Ethernet connection to the router. So when I have time I will try the latest recommendations.

cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model;echo
Yea, we have Frontier (Verizon) FiOS and the ISP supplied router/gateway is garbage. When we were in a rental I configured that router as a bridge and installed my own router (which got an external IP). Tech support will probably tell you their router can't be configured as a bridge, but I found instructions elsewhere. In our new home we had them run Ethernet from the ONT into the house.coenvanwyk wrote: ↑Fri Oct 26, 2018 7:42 pmWe use a fibre-optic cable service, connected by ethernet to my Mac, the wifi provided is weak.

As a general rule, customers undertaking an EDI initiative will adopt an EDI Solution Provided by a third party EDI Solution Provider. The customer's ultimate aim will be to route all supplier/customer electronic messages through their EDI Solution, to realise the numerous benefits of electronic trading.
To facilitate this, the customer will instigate an Adoption Program whereby their suppliers will be mandated to join their EDI initiative. This mandate will explain the benefits of electronic trading, what will be expected of you, and is likely to recommend that you contact the customer's EDI Solution Provider to discuss the "next steps".
Does this mean that you MUST select the same EDI Solution Provider as your customer? NO.
There is normally no agreement in place or contract obligation that dictates you must use your customer's EDI Provider Solution. As long as your EDI transactions end up at the correct location, then your customer won't mind. This allows you to research the field and to investigate the best EDI Solution Provider to meet your company's own bespoke needs.
The only exception to this rule is if you are not able to perform full Integrated EDI with your selected customer. In this case, your customer may provide you with a WEB Solution (which is normally accessed via Internet Explorer or something similar) normally designed by your customer's Solution Provider. This will be in the form of a WEB GUI (Graphical User Interface) that will allow you to send and receive EDI transactions from your customer, albeit this will be a manual process and not automated.
If you wished to trade with any other additional customers, then you could use the same EDI solution you invested in originally to trade with your first customer to then trade via EDI with any customer / supplier of your choice. Your options and possibilities are not restrained by whom your customers use.

text: DEPARTMENT: FINANCE w Audit Requirements BY CLAUDETTE ATWOOD, NRWA CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER What kind of audit are you required to have? It could be none at all (thank your lucky stars), a compilation (the simplest), a financial audit or the big one, an A-133 audit, commonly known as a single audit. Let's talk about each of these. First, none at all. You are a lucky soul, but there are downfalls to this. If you never have an audit, can you, the preparer, or the board, the user, really know if the financials "present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of your entity"? It is just good business sense to have an audit conducted, and yes, it is very disruptive to your schedule, but it offers a peace of mind that the financials are presenting correct information that you can make good decisions on. Second, the compilation. This is assistance in presenting your financial statements and the least expensive, but there is no assurance that compiled financial statements fairly present the financial position of your entity. This is not preferred by lenders or creditors. Under the compilation, management will take the responsibility for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements. The accountant will only compile the financial statements but should have industry-level experience and knowledge of your entity. The accountant should provide documentation that will have the significant issues, communication to management with regards to fraud or illegal acts and a written report that should accompany the compiled financial statements. The report will state that the statements are not audited or reviewed and therefore there is not an opinion expressed or any assurance provided that the financial statements are in accordance with a financial reporting framework. There is no prior preparation other than making sure all entries have been made for the period that the accountant is compiling the reports for. Third, the financial audit. This audit will have the auditor looking deep at your company's financial situation, probing accounting records, internal control policies, cash holdings and other sensitive financial areas. This type of audit is more common with publicly-traded corporations RURAL WATER 31

Shipping & Delivery
BrushWiz employs the most efficient haulers so make sure that our customers get the products right on time.
We pack every item with utmost care to prevent accidental transportation damage. Each product is insured and the delivery team provides doorstep delivery for your convenience. As soon as your product is shipped from our facility, you will receive a tracking number and using that number you can track the location of your order online.
For most of the items, we provide the shipping options mentioned below:
- Standard Shipping (10 to 14 days)
- Expedited Shipping (5 to 10 days)
- Express Shipping (3 to 5 days)
Kindly remember that shipping time don't include processing time.
Shipping Cost Calculation Process
At BrushWiz, we try to offer our customers the lowest possible shipping rates. To know the shipping cost of your order, please add the items to your shopping cart and check the shipping cost during checkout. Just fill up the shipping address section to view the shipping options and cost.
The shipping charge is based upon size of the merchandise, weight, number of products you are ordering, delivery location and the chosen shipping option. We also charge a negligible amount of money for insurance purpose to keep your products safe from accidental damage or theft during air or transit. If your order contains multiple items, you may receive a bulk-shipping discount. That means the total shipping charges will be less than the sum of individual products included in your cart. Please note that each shipping option has its own restriction and the shipping cost will be added to your order. The total delivery cost will be automatically added to your order and you will see the final amount before online payment.
Shipping to a Different Address
We help you store a number of addresses in your account, so that you can send orders to your home, office or to someone else. If you want to gift someone a product from our store, buy the product and send it directly to the gift recipient. During checkout, when you visit Select Shipping Address page, Click on Change Shipping Address to select or add the gift recipient's address to the Address Book. Whenever you checkout in future, you can simply select any stored address from the address book.
Shipment Safety Measures
Maintaining the quality of packaging is a very important factor for us and that is why we use high quality materials to pack your products. If your order contains the following items, we will dispatch them separately in suitable packaging. You don't have to pay any extra shipping cost.
- Unframed Paintings: These are rolled with proper protective wrapping paper and then sealed in a tube made of cardboard.
- Framed Paintings: These are wrapped in a protective bubble wrap and then sealed in a sturdy cardboard carton.
Gift Packaging - During checkout, if you notify us that a particular product is a gift and write a customized gift message, we will print the message on the packing slip and would not mention the price on the packing slip. However, at the moment, we don't provide gift wrapping service.
Divided Shipments
If you purchase several products, we may dispatch the items separately. Our warehouses are located in different places and some of the items can be out of stock during the time of your order placement. That is why; we may dispatch the products one after another. However, you don't have to pay anything extra for split shipments. We will provide all the shipment related information to find out which products have been dispatched separately. You can use Track Your Orders Orders to check the status of rest of your ordered items.
If you have any questions regarding the missing items from your order, after the shipment(s) is delivered at your address, please contact us immediately and our customer service experts will take care of the issue.
Free Shipping Promotion
If you meet the following terms and conditions, we may provide an exclusive free shipping rate for selected items:
- Free Shipping Promotion is exclusively applicable to Standard/Expedited Shipping
- Unless otherwise noted, Framed or oversized items are not included in this promotion.
- You have to buy minimum $100 worth of products from BrushWiz.com.
- We can change the list of special rate items anytime, without prior notification.
Package Insurance Policy
If you are not happy with a product, we will either refund, exchange or replace that product. In case, you receive a damaged package or your package is lost during transportation, please get in touch with our Customer Experience Team via email.
Shipping Method Can't Be Changed After Placing The Order
Once you place an order, the shipping method can't be changed. To select a suitable delivery time, please refer to Estimating Delivery Time.
We value your time and do our very best to ship your orders right on time. For most of the items, we calculate expected delivery dates to make you aware of the order delivery in advance. While calculating the expected delivery date, we consider various things such as product availability, order processing time, shipping method and shipping address.
We will provide you the estimated delivery date during checkout and will also send it via order confirmation mail and order history. Please remember that estimated delivery date is a probable date only and that the actual delivery date may vary depending on factors such as how intricate your order is, whether the painting has dried enough to be shipped, if you choose to have your painting framed, whether your order is subject to customs or duty charges, if you live in an area experiencing an unexpected service delay (extreme weather, natural disasters, unscheduled events, etc), among other factors. Due to these reasons, the estimated delivery data may change between the time you place an order and get the order confirmation mail. We try heartily to provide exact delivery date in advance. We also offer a number of options for order tracking, such as order detail and tracking links.
* Due to the nature of our business, no delivery time guarantees are made by BrushWiz.
The Time We Take To Deliver Your Order
To calculate the entire delivery time, you have to count the days between product purchase date and product-receiving date. The entire delivery time is divided in two parts, processing and shipping.
Processing time - When you place an order on our site, it takes us some time to dispatch the product from our warehouse. The time between order placing and dispatch is the processing time. You can find the processing time of each product from our site's product pages.
Shipping time - Shipping time is the time that goes between dispatching the shipment to the day it reaches the destination. Shipping time is mentioned in checkout.
Product Availability + Shipping Speed = Estimated Delivery Date Range.
Things You Can Do For Faster Delivery
For most of the products, you will get 3 different shipping options. You can select any one of them.
- Standard Shipping
- Expedited Shipping
- Express Shipping
The promptness of delivery depends upon the option you select. If you bought various items with different processing times, then you can select "I want my items faster. Ship them as soon as they become available (at additional cost)" to get the products faster. We will start sending the in-stock items immediately and also rest of the products as soon as they are available. You have to pay for each shipment, but the advantage of this facility is that you will get some or all of your products earlier.
Estimated Delivery Date Is Over And I Did Not Receive My Order
Kindly remember that Estimated Delivery Dates are only expected dates of delivery and the actual delivery dates may differ. Due to various reasons, Estimated Delivery Dates can also change between the time you place the order and receive an order confirmation. We try our level best to offer accurate delivery dates and provide several resources, such as order detail and tracking links for order tracking.
If your order has been dispatched via a traceable method such as FedEx, UPS, TNT and DHL, then tracking information will be available in your account. Please check this information if available and read through the following options:
1. If the tracking data shows that your products have been delivered, please cross check the data with your family members and neighbors. Consignments are sometimes left at your garage, porch, or even behind bushes. The carrier may also deliver the product at your neighbor's home or to your building manager.
2. If the tracking information shows that the shipment is returned to BrushWiz, or if the delivery address is incorrect, we may not be able to deliver your product.
3. If you don't see any tracking information or can't locate the consignment and its not also returned as undeliverable, please contact our customer service specialists for assistance.
My Order Was Shipped To Me Before I Approved My Painting(s)
You will receive an email confirmation just as soon as your order is complete along with a link to preview the finished work from your personal area. If the order status remains the same our system will generate and send you up to three email reminders. After 2 weeks without any response, your item(s) will be shipped to you.
My Order Did Not Reach Me On The Scheduled Date Of Delivery
If your order does not reach you by 5 p.m the scheduled date, get in touch with our customer service.
Shipping Info Notice
If you get a Shipping Info Notice at your doorstep that means we have tried to deliver or pickup an order. The Info Notice will provide you all the necessary information to complete the delivery or pickup.
- If you placed a COD or signature mandatory order, please refer to boxes checked by your carrier driver on the Info Notice.
- If the driver delivered your parcel at some other location (your garage or back porch), then read the Info Notice to know where the product was left.
- If a product pickup was not successful due to your absence, the Info Notice will provide you the next pickup date and time.
In Case You Have Missed The Info Notice
Our carrier partners try to deliver a product three times, if the previous delivery attempts were not successful. However, they don't deliver products on Saturday, Sunday and holidays.
The Waiting Period For Filing A Claim
If you find that your product(s) is damaged, delivered wrongly or rigged during transit, kindly contact our Customer Service immediately. If your consignment was lost during transportation, please contact Customer Service within 7 business days from the estimate delivery date and inform us that you have not received your order yet.
The Reasons For Not Delivering A Package
We know that customers don't like to see "product returned" statement and that is why we request you to provide your complete delivery address. When you provide a detailed address, our carriers make sure that the package reaches its destination.
If the carrier finds that you are not at home and there is also no secure place to leave the product, he may not leave the product at your home. In such cases, the service provider generally leaves a notice about the situation and informs you from where you can pick the shipment. If you need any help regarding this situation, please contact us. You can also try the carrier's toll free number.
Package Can't Be Re-Routed
We are sorry for the inconvenience, but we don't re-route any shipment, once it's dispatched from our warehouse. You can however request a re-route from the shipping company.
An Item Is Missing From My Order
Make sure that you have received a box for each tracking number, mentioned in the order detail. If you got all the boxes, but still an item is missing, please contact our customer service immediately.
When you place an order through our order form, we give you complete shipping freedom. You can club your products and reduce the number of shipment or you can also ship each product separately, as soon as they are available. Both these options have their own advantages.
Group My Items Into As Few Shipments As Possible
If you want to save shipping costs, then select "group my items into as few shipments as possible". However, if some products are not available at the time of purchase, you may have to wait a bit longer. Once the all the ordered items are available, we will combine them to reduce shipping cost.
Kindly note, that this shipping option can increase processing time and delay shipments. If a product is out of stock or on backorder, we may not send rest of the products until that product is available. As soon as the "out of stock" product is "available", we will send the complete order to your address in a single shipment.
Shipping Items As Soon As They Become Available
If you want to receive your products immediately, select "I want my items faster. Ship them as soon as they become available (at additional cost)". When you select this option, we start shipping the in stock items first and then ship the out of stock items as soon as they are available.
You have to bear the pre-shipment fee of every shipment, but you will receive some or all of your chosen items a lot faster. It's a costlier than "Group my items into as few shipments as possible" shipping option, but helps you get products quickly. However, you don't need to worry about shipping expenses, because we will try to group some items in each shipment to save your money.
Estimating the Number of Shipments
The number of shipments is dependent upon:
Type of product: In stock items are shipped within 24-48 hours from the time of order. However, if an item is out of stock, such as custom work or paintings, then we may take longer to ship it.
Products requiring special care: Some items require extra care, such as large and heavy paintings. We will ship such products separately so that they don't get damaged during transit.
* Please note that you may receive more shipments that you actually mentioned in the order detail. Nevertheless, we won't charge you extra money for the additional shipments.
I Received My Order In Multiple Boxes
If you selected 'Group My Items Into As Few Shipments As Possible' we may pack the items separately due to weight or size issues. We have warehouses in different areas and mainly that is why we use a number of boxes for one order. As you can understand that if different items are kept in different storehouses, they can't be packed together. Sometimes, we also send and order part by part due to product availability. If some of your ordered items are available and some are not, we will dispatch the available items first and then rest if the products, as soon as they are ready. Please note that we don't charge anything extra for partial shipments done at our sole discretion.
The availability of an item is clearly noted on the Product Detail page under Processing Time. Due to the nature of our business most items are made-to-order painting assignments, which has a standard processing time of 14-21 days. However, some paintings, large or highly complex pieces may take more time to finish. If you find any "In stock" products, then we assure you that it will be ready for shipment within 1-2 days.
Oversized or framed products will be sent exclusively through Expedited or Express shipping. The charges and rules of shipping will depend on the chosen shipping method. The final shipping cost will be displayed on the checkout page.
Before signing and accepting the product from delivery personnel, kindly check the package carefully to make sure that there is no damage whatsoever. Due to long transit process, the package may not look absolutely neat and clean. However, if you see that the content inside the package is damaged, don't accept the order delivery. Please contact us immediately and provide your order number for faster solution.
Shipping Limitations
Numerous customs agencies all over the world have forced a size limitation on all imported parcels. The maximum size limit for rectangular-shaped parcels is 42 inches in length and 79 inches in height (Maximum length and girth combined: 108 inches). This rule is followed in almost all the countries. If your order crosses the maximum size limit, we may cancel the order and repay you the total amount.
We ship products only on business days. Business days are Monday-Friday, excluding holidays.
The shipping cost of a single item helps you understand what you need to pay for that product, if you want to ship it alone. If you buy several items and choose to ship them together, then you will get a discount on shipping charges. You may even find out that bulk order shipping and handling rate is cheaper than individual product shipping rate. You can see the total shipping cost on the Shipping Options page during checkout.
Shipping Countries
We dispatch products almost everywhere in the world. While placing an order, you can select the name of your country from "Address Information" page. Please not that if your country is not available in our list, then we can't send products to your location.
We have excluded some countries from our delivery network due to various reasons. The reasons can be too many fraudulent orders from those countries, our courier partners don't deliver products in those countries or their law prevents us from sending our products to those countries. We appreciate your interest in our site and would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Customs/Import Duties and Local Delivery
When ordering from BrushWiz.com, you're responsible for assuring the product can be lawfully imported to the destination country.
If you are buying from anywhere outside China, you may be subject to customs and import duties. The customs and import charges will be added to the product(s) when it will reach the recipient's country. Please note that any additional charges for customs/Import duties must be carried by the recipient as we have no control over these charges and can't predict what they may be. The customs and import charges are different in every country. Therefore, we advise you to call your local customs office for more details.
Our company and shipping partners can't manipulate local delivery rules and regulations. The delivery time displayed for international orders only indicates the time it will take to reach your local post office. However, we can't guarantee when the order will be delivered to your home from the post office. Product delivery may get delayed due to customs/import duties and local postal requirements.
Special Situations
Weather, natural calamities and such other things that we can't control, may delay the shipping and delivery dates. If the situation is really serious and will take some time to settle down, we may add some extra instruction to the Checkout pages and to our automatic voice response system.
After placing your order in our site, you will receive an Order Acknowledgement mail immediately from our side. This mail will show you all your order details, including shipping date and estimated delivery date of every product. Once we dispatch your order from our warehouse, you will get a Shipment Notification email with carrier and tracking information.
We assign a tracking number for each order immediately at the warehouse and it appears in our website with other information related to the order you have placed. However, the carrier may take 48 hours or more to upload the order information in his tracking system. Rarely, products are delivered via a carrier who does not provide order tracking facility. In such cases, BrushWiz website will not provide tracking data. However, it will certainly provide order status and other details.
You can also visit Order Status in our website anytime to check the most recent status of your shipment.
Difference Between Order Status And Tracking Information
The order status is provided by BrushWiz.com and it shows the information about your order, till it leaves our warehouse. Once the package leaves our storehouse, it is managed by a carrier such as, FedEx, USPS or UPS. The carrier may provide tracking information so that you can keep a track of your order from the time it leaves our warehouse to the time it reaches its destination*. The tracking information can be viewed from "Your Order Details" on our website as soon as it is available.

Alibaba and Haier Electronics are not only going to deliver their own products through the new network, but they will offer other online Chinese retailers a chance to use the network as well. The investment is part of a completely new logistics system Alibaba wishes to create. Within 8 to 10 years, the new system should enable the deliveries for its subsidiaries Tmall and Taobao within 24 hours in every Chinese city.
Alibaba says the investment in the large-sized goods sector is necessary. "It is a very complicated and difficult sector to get a lot of control over it. Alibaba has put a lot of sweat into how to build that capability up", James Roy, senior analyst for China Market Research Group, told Reuters. "Haier Group can learn a great deal from Alibaba through this partnership, and I'm confident that this collaboration will create concrete benefits for all involved", Haier's Zhang Ruimin said.

Name: Chitarra Battente.
Type: Chordophones > Lutes.
Hornbostel-Sachs No#: 321.322.5
Tuning: A D G B E
Country: Calabria, Italy.
Region: South Europe & Mediterranean.
Description: The chitarra battente [in Italian "strumming guitar"] however "battente" literally means "beating". The word "battente" is directly related to the particular playing technique used when playing this particular musical instrument. It is member of the lute/guitar sub-group of the chordophone family. It is similar to the 5-course baroque guitar.
History: It is considered a folk instrument, though it has its origins in the Italian court music in the early Baroque era. Musicologists refer to the "historical" as well as the "folk" chitarra battente. There are many examples of historical 17th century chitarra battente in museums.
Varieties: The chitarra battente comes in three sizes. The medium and large instruments are the most common. The instrument may have five or four courses of strings. These courses are typically double or triple, a"course" being a group of 2 or 3 strings plucked as a single unit. Thus chitarra battente is typically a five or four-course instrument.
Construction: There is a great variation in the waisted profile of the chitarra battente. The variations exist in the design, atheistic and the materials used in the construction of the musical instrument.

This has to rank as one of the oddest departures from the Buffalo sports scene in the area's history.
The Buffalo Blizzard parted ways with Rudy Pikuzinski, perhaps the most well-known player in team history. He was the Blizzard's all-time leading scorer, and scored the team's first-ever goal.
Coach George Fernandez cut him without warning shortly after the start of the season.
"Philosophically speaking, we had differences, and I have to do what is best for the team," Fernandez said in a prepared statement. "My goal from here on out is to take this team in another direction. This is just one step in that direction."
Just to add some drama, it was later revealed that Fernandez had told the 40-year-old Pikuzinski, "I think you're the cancer of this team."
That was Pikuzinski's final act as a player; he later was picked for the Greater Buffalo Sports Hall of Fame.

Christmas A to Z
Learn interesting, unusual, unique and useful facts and tips about Christmas and the winter holiday season, in America and around the world.
The Origins of the Hearth as a Cherished Christmas SymbolI
t's interesting to see how many symbols of Christmas have their origins back in the days of the early Germans and Scandinavians, hundreds or even thousands of years before the birth of Jesus. One of them has to do (according to a whole bunch of legends, most of which don't agree with each other but eventually come out in the end as something we might recognize) with burning logs in a fireplace (the Yule Log story is elsewhere).
When people had only recently moved out of caves and into stone huts they hadn't yet mastered the art of building a chimney with a fireplace. They would construct a circle of stones underneath a hole in the roof and collect stuff that would burn and then light a fire. As the smoke rose toward the sky it often appeared to take on human shape – sort of like the game of seeing animals/objects/people in cloud formations. After awhile, with bunches of people talking about how the smoke in their hut looked like someone, the stories melded together and became part of the verbal tradition of the village/tribe.
It coalesced around a being called Hertha. She was not at all attractive, with wispy smoky curls, a face that featured a long iron nose and shoes made of coals – but she was worth worshiping (and lighting fires for) because she was a muse for storytellers and singers of tales. She also was known to bring gifts for good little children around the end of what would end up becoming December – and woe betide the little ones who had not been good.
So, Hertha – a goddess of the hearth – may be the source of burning logs not just to keep warm, keeping kids on their best behavior when they couldn't go outside because it was too cold and, perhaps, the idea of some magic entity associated with a place where fire was burned who brought gifts ("…. and laying his finger aside of his nose, and giving a nod, up the chimney he rose…").

Saturday 9th June saw the NABBC hold their AGM and Conductors competition.
During the AGM we were delighted to add to our already experienced Executive committee with appointments of Alex Parker, Tom Hancock and Paul Holland.
After the AGM the Rainford band arrived to perform in the semi final round where 11 competitors would lead the band through a 15 minute rehearsal on one of three test pieces, all under the watchful eye of adjudicators Paul Holland and Mark Heron.
After each conductor had rehearsed 6 were chosen to take through to the final these were Ryan Watkins (UK), John Ward (UK), Hugh Morris (UK), Josh Geddes (AUS), Pascal Maillard (FRA), and Jack Capstaff (UK).
The finalists were then given a concert piece to rehearse and perform with the evening band, the Eccles Borough Band, again all trying to impress the adjudicators and claim the prize. After they had each performed, a capacity audience at Eccles Town Hall were treated to a gala concert from the Eccles band under the direction of NABBC Chairperson Mareika Gray.
Before the announcement of the results the adjudicators spoke to the audience explaining what an incredibly high standard of Conducting had been on display during the course of the day and paid tribute to both bands who had performed superbly throughout what must have been a very tiring day for them.
In third place was Ryan Watkins, 2nd was Jack Capstaff and the winner Josh Geddes. Josh had travelled all the way from Australia for the event and now takes the title of NABBC Conducting champion 2018 as well as invitations to work in both rehearsal and concert with the current National champions of Great Britain the Brighouse & Rastrick band and the number one ranked band in the world, The Cory Band.
Speaking on his win Josh (2nd from L) commented:
I'm on cloud 9. It was a surprise to even make it to Eccles, let alone having to find luggage room for the trophy. It was an honor to have been chosen amongst some wonderful conductors. The collegiality amongst the finalists was really wonderful and the two bands where so responsive and supportive. A huge thanks to the NABBC for putting on the event, to the adjudicators who were able to give a lot of constructive feedback, Cory and Brighouse and Rastrick for the opportunity to work with them, and most importantly my wife Jane and daughter Alyssa whose support is immense and unwavering. I am now looking forward to returning the uk to continue my development as a conductor.
After the conclusion of the event NABBC Chairperson Mareika Gray commented:
The 2018 NABBC Conducting competition was a complete success. It was pleasing to receive so many positive comments from Adjudicators, competitors, both bands, and the audience. Congratulations to all competitors with special mention to Ryan Watkins, Jack Capstaff, and of course our winner Josh Geddes.
2019 Date
The date for the Association AGM and Conducting competition for 2019 has been agreed as Saturday 8th June with further application details released in due course.

Former Spice Girl Melanie C prefers performing live on stage to having sex.
The original Sporty Spice no longer prances around in tracksuits but still maintains that the stage is her "favourite place".
When asked to chose between there and the bedroom, she revealed: "I'd have to say being on stage.
"In an everyday situation I can be quite shy, but when I'm up there I feel so free."
The 29-year-old singer has battled with her weight and depression since the Spice Girls broke up but now says she is happy.
"I put my heart into my records and whether I'm a size eight or a size 14, my music still sounds the same," she said.
"I've spent so much time dieting and tried to lose weight and it made me very sick, so forget it. I love the way I look."

Are you looking for step-by-step instructions for making a hose assembly? The basic method of making a hose assembly is the same for every machine and we've outlined the steps below or you can watch the video that outlines the steps from a recent hose school training session.
Step 1: Gather required tools and materials for the project
- Hydraulic hose
- Hydraulic hose fitting
- Hose lubricant
- Calipers
- Chalk (white paint pen)
- Safety goggles
- Safety gloves
- Crimping machine
- Crimping die and collar
Step 2: Measure the hose and cut
Measure the length of hose that you need and cut it to size with a hose saw. For critical hose lengths, make sure to account for the cutoff factor when determining final length of hose. After cutting the hose, you should have a clean edge and if not, use a file to clean the ends. Saws have different cutting specs so make sure to compare capabilities. Make sure to clean hose ends to reduce contamination and hose assembly failure.
Step 3: Select fitting series
When selecting a fitting series, consider the working pressure, style, type, orientation, attachment methods and material for its corrosion resistance. It is very important that you do not interchange hose and fitting brands.
Step 4: Mark insertion depth and push on the hose fittings
Determine insertion depth of the fitting by utilizing a hose insertion depth block. Draw a thick chalk line around the hose to identify the insertion depth. Lubricate hose if necessary, however, do not lubricate if using spiral hose. Push the hose into the fitting until the mark on the hose is even with the end of the shell.
Step 5: Verify crimper capabilities and adjust the crimper setting
Crimpers are specifically made to crimp specific hose diameters. Therefore, you should confirm the capabilities of the machine and adjust settings as necessary. Make sure to choose the correct crimp diameter for each hose assembly. Use Crimpsource for specific technical specifications.
Step 6: Select the die
Select the appropriate crimper die set. Crimper dies are specifically designed for certain hoses and fittings so make sure to verify the die set by using the crimper decal. You may also use Crimpsource for specific technical specifications. If necessary, lubricate the die bowl using a premium quality lithium-base grease.
Step 7: Place the hose in the crimping machine
Push the end of the hose into the crimping machine (typically bottom loading) and through the die so that the hydraulic hose fitting appears above the die. The top of the hose, now concealed inside the fitting, should not be above the die. For Parker crimpers, rest the bottom of the fitting on the die step, which are featured on Parker's Karrykrimp, Karrykrimp 2 and Parkrimp crimpers.
Step 8: Place compression ring
If required, now is the time to place the compression ring on the step of adapter bowl. Reference the decal on the crimper for tool selection.
Step 9: Put on safety equipment
At this point, put on your safety equipment. You must wear goggles, ear protectors and strong, protective gloves.
Step 10: Crimp hose
Turn on the machine - the cylinder head will slowly move down. As it pushes the collar, the collar compresses the die. Do not touch the machine until the collar is firmly at the bottom of the die. The machine should then stop. Almost all machines have a built-in safety system so that if the die are displaced, the machine cuts out.
Step 11: Verify the crimp diameter
Check the chalk mark which you made on the hose. If it is no longer at the base of the fitting, it means the hose or the fitting moved during the crimping. However tight it may seem, this is not a good crimp. Otherwise, if the chalk mark is in place, you have successfully crimped the ends of the hydraulic hose. Measure the crimp diameter on a flat surface of the crimped shell and verify the crimp diameter referenced on the decal. Never use hose assemblies with incorrect crimp diameters.
Step 12: Clean hose assembly
Next, you need to remove contaminants within the hose, especially on larger diameter hoses. You can do this by using a hose brush, compressed air system or projectile pellets, which are included in Parker's cleaning kits. After you a shoot the projectile, you should visibly check the projectile for contamination. Repeat the process until the projectile has no signs of rubber or metallic particles on it. If the projectiles continue to show rubber particles, the hose may need to be replaced. This is usually a sign of a rubber tube that is failing.
Step 13: Cap hose assembly
After you clean the hose, it is a good idea to cap the assembly on both ends. You can use plastic caps or heat shrink caps. Parker's heat shrink caps or Clean Seal caps are a quick, easy, and clean alternative to cap your hose and fitting assemblies. Simply put a cap on a hose or fitting end and place in the heat shrink machine for a few seconds for a contamination-free hose assembly. The caps are available in fifteen different sizes and come in package or bulk quantities to fit your specific requirements.
By following these steps as your guideline, you should achieve a properly assembled hose. Parker Hannifin has many resources to help with your hydraulic hose, fittings and equipment needs including online literature that outlines the proper hose assembly techniques.

If you're looking for a place to gamble online, you'll probably need to look elsewhere. While you're free to gamble (or not, according to your local laws), that's not what this site is about.
Problem Gambling Resources
The House of Cards does recognize that some people do have problems with gambling. If this applies to you, please review the information at some of the following sites, and get the help you need:

NCPG's mission is to increase public awareness of pathological gambling, ensure the widespread availability of treatment for problem gamblers and their families, and to encourage research and programs for prevention and education.

Skill Gaming vs. Gambling
The legislation passed by the United States congress on September 30, 2006 (H.R.4411, the "Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006" Sec. 5362) defines illegal betting or wagering as including "the purchase of a chance or opportunity to win a lottery or other prize (which opportunity to win is predominantly subject to chance)".
In contrast to games of chance (such as bingo, slots, and other casino games), there are online game sites that provide skill games, in which the outcome of the game, is predominantly due not to chance, but to an individual player's skill.
Therefore, there's no gambling, wagering or betting involved when you play games of skill. The games provided by, or linked to from, this site are absolutely legal* and safe to play. Enjoy!
* Note: There's no way to keep up-to-date with regulations and laws in every jurisdiction.

The term responsive relates to a website design that changes its layout based on the device display dimension or browser type. This is key in making your website show up perfectly on all devices, such as tablets, smart phones along with desktops.
Exactly what does SEO mean in web design?
SEO is an acronym that stands for Search Engine Optimization. It involves the technique of adjusting numerous of elements as well as meta data within the website to obtain the best exposure on the search engines like Google and Bing. Some individuals will create external backlinks to "trick" the online search engines to "think" that the website is much more popular than it is. We do not recommend this practice as it can in fact produce the opposite result as intended due to recent changes in the search engine algorithms which penalize websites that "game the system".
We optimize your website for ideal performance on search engines without threatening your future rankings from AI based search engines like Google.
Exactly what is the difference between a web designer and a web developer?
Basically a "Web Designer" is an individual that makes use of design knowledge and experience to build the overall look of a website, normally making use of systems like Clickfunnels, Drupal, Shopify, Magento or WordPress.
On the other hand, a "Web Developer" is an individual that is much more "programming centric" and normally builds a custom website without a framework or CMS.
Why is WordPress so popular?
WordPress is an open-source platform that was setup for the democratization of blogging in the mid 2000's. In the past 10 years WordPress has actually gained very popular with the general website building community due to the numerous choices of themes (the aesthetic look) as well as plugins (mini-scripts with functionality).
There is much confusion out there regarding WordPress.com and WordPress.org. The majority of web designers will use the WordPress.org open-source self-hosted/software solution to build sites, whereas WordPress.com is a commercial blogging platform "in the cloud" similar to Wix or Squarespace (where you build the sites yourself).
Exactly what does a static website mean?
A static website is a site that does not have any kind of Content Management System (CMS) (like WordPress or Drupal) and commonly is coded as straight files and html without a database required. These straightforward sites are not as common as they were back in the 90's and early 2000's.
Exactly what does flat web design mean?
A clean, flat web design is the practice of making extremely simple 2D graphics and usually the website will have a very minimalistic layout. Flat design does not use any kind of drop shadows or 3D effects, however many designers are adding 3D images and dimensional angled elements to add contrast to flat designs.
"Material Design" is typically used by designers these days and was developed by User Experience Experts to develop the comfort of real world (material/physical elements) in order to help the user feel really linked and comfortable with using the website. Material Design is a very subtle effect but it enhances the overall User Experience in most cases.
What exactly is a Web App?

Exactly what is a Parallax website?
Parallax is an effect used to produce a feeling of motion on a page with images and backgrounds. It uses layers and graphics to ease up and down the page at different rates. You can also have a photo "fixed and have the "window" viewing area scroll up the web page instead of the photo scrolling like conventional "old school" web sites.

HTTPS Is More Impartant Than Ever
When you're surfing the net and visiting a variety of websites you might notice that at the top of your browser window some sites have a small green padlock near their web address. If so, then the website also has a URL that starts with HTTPs. For instance, https://www.thesite.com. The HTTPs stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure.
What Is HTTPs?
When HTTPs is combined with an SSL Secure Socket Layer, it means that a site is secure and it's safe to enter sensitive personal information, such as a password, a Social Security number or a credit card number, in the website. Websites that have a web address beginning with HTTP aren't secure and can't guarantee that information entered is safe.
HTTPs and Google
In its quest to make the internet a safer place, Google has been urging webmasters to transfer their sites from HTTP to HTTPs. This even applies to websites which don't collect any type of sensitive information from users. In January 2017, Google's Chrome browser, which based on ZDNet.com is the most popular browser, began tagging HTTP sites that have password or credit card fields as"Not Secure."
And beginning in October 2017, the browser began labeling HTTP sites as"Not Secure" when users enter any type of information, not just sensitive information. The Chrome browser also began marking all HTTP sites visited in the Incognito mode as"Not Secure." Google states, too, that , they intend to begin labeling all HTTP sites, in Incognito mode or not, as"Not Secure." Many expect this to happen sometime in 2018.
For Security and Search Engine Exposure
The implications are clear. Websites will need to be HTTPs, no matter what sort of website they are. With recent large-scale site hacks and continuing concerns about online privacy, few things scare users off faster than seeing a warning that a site is not secure and knowing that their advice is not safe.
SSL is a standard security technology which encrypts data exchanged between a web server and a browser. SSL is common in e-commerce and websites where protected data like credit cards or social security numbers are exchanged. SSL or secure sockets layer, provides consumers with peace of mind, ensuring any information passed between the server and browser is kept private and inaccessible from external intrusion through the use of encryption.
Google and other search engines have publicly stated their favoritism for SSL encrypted websites, leading many to think it's a factored part of their ranking algorithm.
More businesses today are using SSL for its own search engine benefits to acquire preference over competing businesses. For a small annual investment, businesses can provide encryption and harness the potential position improvements in search engines.
Search engines favor SSL for a number of reasons but most importantly because it suggests that a site cares about its audience and cares about security.
Here are some other potential benefits:
Page load times — A faster connection for your audience and faster access to your site.
Encryption — A safer experience for your customers by protecting their information.
Legitimacy — It is safe to say that investing in an SSL certificate indicates your business is more legitimate and trustworthy than a business which won't.
How to use SSL for SEO
Fortunately, there are a number of SSL resellers and you're not limited to purchasing a certificate through your web host. Even though most domain registrars and hosting companies offer them, the price you pay will usually be higher.
You can use SSL distributors like RapidSSL, GlobalSign, DigiCert, InstantSSL or SSLs to find the best bargain. Most resellers provide competitive pricing and an assortment of choices for your certificate.
You can even use the CloudFlare or Let's Encrypt to be given a free SSL certificate.
Installation is easy and generally takes just a few minutes when you're using cPanel, which most shared web hosts provide by default. If you are using a virtual or dedicated private server and don't have a cPanel license, you can install an SSL for your site using a free control panel like the CentOS Web Panel.
