NFL Week 9 Pick 'Ems
Cleveland (+10.5) at Cincy
Niko: Cincy is going to keep rolling here. After beating Pittsburgh at Heinz, the Bengals deserve a little credit. I still have significant doubts about this team come January, but for now, they're a top 3 team in the AFC. Conversely, the Browns are terrible. Bengals cover.
Pete: I was hoping that a couple of Cleveland Browns would fall into the Patriots' lap come Tuesday at 4 p.m., but that just wasn't in the cards. The Browns are a mess right now, but with Johnny Manziel getting the start, I think that they will keep this game relatively close. Bengals win, but don't cover 10.5.
Jack: With Johnny Manziel starting for the Browns this week I do not see any way they keep it close. The Bengals are rolling and just beat a significantly better team in the Steelers. The Browns are missing their 3 best defensive backs in Tashaun Gipson, Donte Whitner and Joe Haden. Bengals cover.
Oakland (+4.5) at Pitt
Niko: Debilitating injury for the Steelers last Sunday. Leveon Bell is probably the best all around back in football and one of the most dynamic playmakers in the league. Big Ben Roethlisberger is going to need to be at his very best for the rest of the season. Oakland is on a little bit of a roll after upsetting the Jets, but I like Pittsburgh coming out on top and re-inventing themselves at home this Sunday without Bell. Steelers win and cover.
Pete: Tough position right now for the Steelers. Like Niko mentioned, Le'Veon Bell, in my opinion, is the best all around running back in football. Big Ben was able to lean on him a little heavier than usual as he tries to make his return, but now all the pressure is on him. With Oakland on a little hot streak, and Big Ben not at 100%, I think the Raiders pull off the upset.
Jack: The Raiders have been playing very well and Derek Carr looks like a legit NFL QB. Pair him with Amari Cooper and a rejuvenated Michael Crabtree and the Raiders have an above average offense. However, I think the Steelers roll at home. Oakland has a chance for a backdoor cover late in the game but I think Pittsburgh is up by enough to win and hold the spread. Steelers win and cover.
Jacksonville (off) at Jets
Niko: As a Pats fan, I can't help but smile when peeking over at the Jets quarterback depth chart. What a sobering loss for "gang green" last Sunday in Oakland. No one knows who will be under center this weekend for the Jets, but at home against the Jags, I think they will still have just barely enough and hang on by a field goal. Jets win.
Pete: What a stinker. The Jets have no idea who they are going to put at QB, and, well, Jacksonville sucks. Even with the Jets reeling, no one is as bad as the Jaguars. Jets at home.
Jack: Blake Bortles is a far superior QB than Geno Smith. That being said, on the road against against very solid Jets D, I do not see Jacksonville pulling it off. Chris Ivory will carry the Jets offense to victory. Jets win.
St. Louis (+2.5) at Minnesota
Niko: Ladies and gentlemen, Todd Gurley has arrived. With another 133 yards on the ground last Sunday, Gurley is now up to 575 yards on the season (in 5 games). I think the Rams go into Minnesota and get a signature win over AP and the Vikings. The torch will be passed.
Pete: This is my Sneaky Great Game of the Week. St. Louis is suddenly relevant and Minnesota, led by Teddy Bridgewater, are having a great season. Todd Gurley is trying to become Adrian Peterson, and these may be the two best, healthy running backs in the NFL right now. However, Teddy Bridgewater puts the Vikings just a touch over the top for me. Vikings cover.
Jack: Nick Foles is a horrible QB going on the road against a flourishing Vikings defense. This smells like a blow out even with the elite D in St. Louis. Vikings cover.
Miami (+3) at Buffalo
Niko: This is essentially a pick'em so I'm going to go with the home team. The Pats effectively ended both teams' seasons. Rex and Dan Campbell should box at halftime, though. That would be sick. Bills cover I guess.
Pete: Talk about a stinker. Like Niko mentioned, the Patriots are responsible for causing the insufferable garbage that is the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills. Maybe the NFL should launch an investigation on that? Miami, but who cares?
Jack: Dan Campbell is a meat head who should not be leading a football team. A fist fight between Campbell and Ryan instead of the coin toss is only logical. But really, Tyrod Taylor is back this week and is going to stick it to this Miami defense. Bills cover.
New Orleans (-8) at Tennessee
Niko: After three straight impressive wins against Atlanta, Indy, and the Giants, the Saints are back on the map! Drew Brees has been a surgeon, with over 1,000 yards and 9 touchdowns combined in those respective games. No reason to think Tennessee can stop that. New Orleans wins big.
Pete: I have been on the New Orleans bandwagon since the beginning of the season. The just can't be this bad with Drew Brees. Now that he is healthy, we see that he still has something left in the tank. It helps too that Tennessee blows. New Orleans.
Jack: This is the definition of a trap game. New Orleans riding high, breaking records last week against a horrible defense, I do not think this is smooth sailing for Brees and company. The Tennessee defense is better than the Giants defense was last week and at home I see the Titans playing well with not just a cover, but a Titans win.
Green Bay (-1.5) at Carolina
Niko: Game of the week. Green Bay has the better quarterback, but that may be it. Without Jordy Nelson, other than Cobb, which one of GB's receivers/backs/tight ends can beat man coverage on a weekly basis? My vote says none. The Panthers will frustrate Rodgers and give him all he can handle. Carolina wins on a last second field goal and puts themselves in prime position for home field advantage in the playoffs.
Pete: While the St. Louis/Minnesota is my Sneaky Great Game of the Week, this is the undeniable best game of Week 9. As much as I want to bet against the Packers, because I hate the Aaron Rodgers vs. Tom Brady (non)debate, it always comes down to quarterbacks. I've never really bought into Cam Newton and he has virtually no one to throw to except for TE Greg Olsen. Aaron Rodgers won't have two terrible games in a row. Green Bay.
Jack: Green Bay is just not the same team on the road. Carolina has been playing well this year and at home I see no reason they cannot pull out the victory. Panthers win.
Denver (-3.5) at Indy
Niko: Denver will go into Indy and completely thump the hapless Colts. Denver's D is clearly for real (just ask Aaron Rodgers), and their running game looks somewhat rejuvenated. The Colts are soft, they solved none of their issues in the offseason, and their prized franchise quarterback has appreciably gotten worse over the last few seasons. On the brightside, they'll always have that AFC Finalist Banner. No one can take that away from them. Broncos cover.
Pete: The "Broncos are better than the Patriots and Peyton is back" bandwagon is in full force after their spanking of the Green Bay Packers. That defense is legit, but I'm still not buying in on Peyton Manning. Even in the game last week, he had some questionable throws when trying to air it out. In a couple weeks when they face the Patriots and it gets a little colder, the Broncos will have themselves a game. But not this week. Broncos big. HOWEVER, I would not be surprised if Indy pulls out the victory. They are playing with house money at this point and should be desperate. The 4th quarter Indy team against the Panthers on Monday could show up, then we have a game.
Jack: The way Denver is playing and the way Indy is playing this line is a joke. The Broncos defense will make Luck wish his ribs were already broken. Like Pete said, Broncos big.
Washington (+13.5) at NE
Niko: I put the several billion reasons to like the Pats in this one in a hat, and the one I drew was this: Washington corners DeAngelo Hall, Bashaud Breeland, Chris Culliver, and pass rushing stud Ryan Kerrigan are all questionable with injuries. Let's air it out. Pats in a laugher. Extended thoughts coming in the Roundtable coming this weekend.
Pete: Tom Brady > Your Quarterback. Talk more in the Roundtable. The Vengeance Tour rolls on. Pats.
Jack: This spread is ridiculously high for a slightly competent Redskins team. But, whatever, Pats by 50. Pats win.
Atlanta (-5) at San fran
Niko: The Falcons run as a real contender is done. Stick a fork in them come playoff time. However, San Fran may just be the worst team in football and just benched their starting quarterback. Atlanta covers.
Pete: Atlanta is showing that they aren't in the same class as the Patriots, Broncos, Cardinals, and Green Bay, but they are still a pretty good team. With 'Frisco in shambles, Atlanta covers.
Jack: Atlanta has not exactly been lights out this year, but San Francisco is starting Blaine Gabbert and some practice squad RB this week. Seriously, Blaine Gabbert. Atlanta covers.
NYG (-2.5) at Tampa Bay
Niko: The G-men should get it done at Tampa Bay this weekend. Eli is playing some good football, and the Bucs gave up 24 points in the second half to Washington last weekend. Giants cover.
Pete: What other team can score 49 points and still manage to lose? Well, the New York Giants can! Listen, Tampa Bay sucks. They will easily win this game. But if they give up 52 to a declining Saints team, imagine what Tom Brady and company will do? We will see in a few weeks...
Jack: The Giants defense is hilariously bad. The Bucs offense will have no problem getting 30 points and winning this game. Tampa Bay has had an elite run defense the past 4 or so games and should keep it up against Rashad Jennings and whoever else they throw out there. Eli will be forced to throw a lot and should have a solid day, but a late pick will seal the deal for the Bucs. Bucs win.
Philly (-3) at Dallas
Niko: This is a tough game to pick. Dallas hasn't won since Romo went down, but has been mostly competitive, and Philly has either been inspiring or just plain horrific. I'll go with Philly to cover in an ugly one because of the Dallas QB situation, but if these NFC East teams continue to let Dallas stick around, look out when Romo comes back.
Pete: Niko, you took the words right out of my mouth.
Jack: Yeah, both these teams have looked bad. Philly has a very solid defense though and should turnover Cassel at least 3 times. Philly covers.
Chicago (+3.5) at San Diego
Niko: What a tough weekend for injuries in the NFL. SD's Keenan Allen, who was practically on a record pace this year (67 catches, 725 yards, 4 TDs through 8 games) went down for the year with a lacerated kidney. That being said, I still expect the Chargers to rally, and for next man up Stevie Johnson to have a huge game. San Diego covers at home.
Pete: I keep picking San Diego, and they keep losing. Sure, they have had one of the surprisingly tougher schedules in the NFL, but they have to start putting some wins together. Chicago is terrible, San Diego gets it done.
Jack: San Diego desperately needs this win against a team giving up on the season. Rivers should have no problem winning this game. San Diego wins and covers.

of the factors that contribute to success in the classroom.*

placebo-controlled studies — the gold standard for product validation.

Tableau Desktop is a leading new generation Business Intelligence (BI) application which is also dubbed as "self-service" data discovery tool as it can be used to achieve with almost no support from IT staff. This product shines as a graphical tool or a visualization tool, where you would have relied on various other tools and takes longer durations to represent the bar charts or the pie charts.
Microstrategy is another leading Business Intelligence (BI) application vendor whose product claims to provide support to world-class interactive dashboards, scorecards and highly formatted reports which can be generated using Adhoc queries, thresholds and alerts.

With an initial understanding of what Tableau Desktop and Microstrategy are, let us get down to business in understanding the comparison between these two tools. The Comparison can be different based on the kind of organization you represent when you go forward in making the purchase of any of these business intelligence software offerings from Tableau or Microstrategy.
Let's Compare the Tableau Desktop and Microstrategy:
Tableau Desktop
Tableau Desktop provides a considerable big set of visualizations
Microstrategy provides an equal number of visualizations as like Tableau Desktop and also provides the same features as like it.
Tableau Desktop has a provision to connect to any kind of data source and provides numeral native data source connectors to retrieve data from
There is not much difference on these features with Tableau Desktop, as Microstrategy is equally competent in providing as many number of data source connectors as like Tableau Desktop
Tableau Desktop has the capability of doing a quick, ad-hoc analysis on data using its two ways of data collection – Live Connection or by In-memory. Both of these rely on the local database and does the retrieval of the required data the quickest.
Microstrategy lacks in this context when compared with Tableau Desktop software offerings
Tableau Desktop (Personal Edition) is priced $35 per user per month which enables to connect to Excel and Google sheets.
Microstrategy Web package is priced at $600 per named user and $300K per CPU core
Tableau Desktop provides options for its payments in the form of One time payments, Annual Subscriptions and also on Quote based payments
Microstrategy provides payments options in the form of Monthly payments or Quote based payments.
Tableau Desktop is on an average of 9.2 out of 10 based on all the customer reviews that are collected by various comparison sites
Microstrategy stands tall at 8 out of 10, standing next to Tableau Desktop on all the customer reviews that are captured by various comparison sites
Though Tableau Desktop provides supports to extract data from various kinds of data sources, combinations of data-sources for data analysis is still considered not so strong.
Not a competent offering from Microstrategy on this front
Tableau Desktop is a perfect example to be able to provide a provision to analyze data going offline, where there is no requirement for internet connectivity.
There is no such option here in Microstrategy, as this is a complete Cloud-based offering in the Business Intelligence and Data Visualization lines of businesses.
Tableau Desktop is the on-premise variant and Tableau Cloud is the cloud-based variant, thus providing an offering in both ways of communication
Microstrategy does provide an on-premise variant of its offerings and is pretty much on the similar power range on its features.
Tableau provides integration with R and Google Analytics. R models can be run as-is, just after the Tableau integration with R.
Microstrategy Provides integration with Microsoft Office suite of applications
Tableau Desktop works on both Windows and Macintosh OS environments and also has a web-based version
Microstrategy works only on Windows, Linux and Macintosh OS environments
Tableau Desktop is targeted to be used in Small, Medium to Larger enterprises
Microstrategy is targeted to be used in Small and Medium enterprises.
Tableau Desktop provides features like Customizable Dashboard, Financial Forecast / Budget, Graphic Benchmark Tools
Microstrategy Provides features like Customizable Features, Performance Measurements
Tableau Desktop provides a free trial version for a month's usage to understand the power of the tool
Microstrategy on the other hand also provides a similar offering to make the customers feel the power of their product.
In this article, we have tried to understand what areas of the business each of the products Tableau Desktop or Microstrategy cater. We have tried to look at an eagle view of the features that each of these products offers to their customers and tried to understand a clear cut winner out of the compared products.
Tableau Desktop is a clear winner in this comparison of features, pricing and availability of the product offerings as such. Though Microstrategy supports Linux environments over and above what Tableau Desktop does, it does not stand tall to compete with Tableau Desktop software product offerings and at the same time can't offer their offerings at a price that has been benchmarked by Tableau.

Bat For Lashes' new single 'Daniel' is the lead single from Natasha Khan's rather excellent second album 'Two Suns' (due April 6). It finds her coming over all 'Tango In The Night'-era Fleetwood Mac, and is accompanied by the kind of enigmatic, atmospheric video we've come to expect from Natasha Khan.
After the jump we have an exclusive clip that takes you behind-the-scenes on the video shoot. In it, Swedish director Johnan Renck explains 'Daniel"s central theme of teenage infatuation – and confirms that the song is autobiographical: Miss Khan's first crush was indeed named Daniel.
Incidentally, you can win the hoodie that Natasha Khan wears in this clip. Head here to enter.
And here's the official video for 'Daniel':
Bat For Lashes will embark on a full UK tour starting on April 7, check availability via NME.COM/gigs now.

The Strategic Focus Team
is committed to impacting lostness through disciple-making. The team is comprised of eight strategy coordinators, one ministry assistant and a team leader.

Do you not say, "Four more months and then the harvest"? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. John 4:35 (NIV)
In keeping with its stated mission, the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina will assist churches in evangelizing all people groups in every ethnic and/or cultural context by developing and applying disciple-making ministry models with an Acts 1:8 focus. The Strategic Focus Team is on point for this effort. Read the full strategy of Impacting Lostness Through Disciple-Making here.
An estimated 5.8 million lost people live in North Carolina and that number is surely growing. Further study indicates that 97 of the top 100 pockets of lostness, where a large portion of the 5.8 million are concentrated, are located in eight population centers. The Convention has responded by assigning a strategy coordinator to each of these eight population centers.
The work of the eight strategy coordinators will be relationship driven.The strategy coordinators will immerse themselves in their assigned population center, developing an understanding of the pockets of lostness, the churches and association(s), the community at large and the ministry efforts already underway toward impacting lostness through disciple-making. The goal is to make, nurture and grow reproducing followers of Christ through a well-defined, contextually appropriate local strategy.

We have confirmed more details involving the man who allegedly crashed his car into the side of a room at the Regal Inn on S. Church St. in Murfreesboro.
Suspect Timothy Dorsey evidently crashed into Room 314 striking Christopher Paris who was in the room. The entire incident unfolded as police stood by ordering him out of his car at gunpoint. Dorsey refused to get out of his car and instead, accelerated into the motel room. After allegedly running his car into the room, he got out and physically assaulted 20-year old Paris, according to a report on file with the MPD.
Police say they had to physically pull 43-year old Dorsey off of Paris. Police were eventually able to place him in handcuffs and charge him with aggravated assault, resisting arrest, DUI and Violation of the Implied Consent Law. He was placed under a $100,500 bond and remains behind bars at this time.
A domestic violence situation with an ex-girlfriend by the name of Susan Cole is what led to Dorsey getting into his car and running it into the side of the building. Evidently, Dorsey had an argument with his ex and told her that police would have to kill him. Officers noted in a report that Dorsey had his car positioned in front of the motel room and police ordered him out of his vehicle while holding a gun on him, but he refused. Instead of getting out of the car he accelerated running into the room striking the boyfriend of his ex.
All three were transported to the hospital after the incident, none of them had life threatening injuries. To make matters more confusing, the ex-girlfriend decided to pay a visit to Paris once in a hospital room. When Cole stopped by to check on Paris, she was arrested. The 33-year old was wanted for failing to appear in court in Marshal County, Tennessee.

"The Enlarged iPod Touch"
When Apple unveiled the iPad in January 2010, the first reaction from most of us was one of ridicule. "It's only a bigger iPhone / iPod Touch" is what I first thought. In a way, I was right, but the iPad was much more for most of its target user base.
It was a huge hit; Apple has sold more than 40 million iPads to date, generating more than $25 billion in revenue from its tablet business. It revived the almost dead tablet industry, which many had tried and failed to do before. Scores of Android tablets have been launched since the iPad's launch, but most of them have failed miserably. Android for tablets – Honeycomb – was a major disappointment. Other tablet platforms did even worse. HP was forced to discontinue webOS as no one wanted to buy the HP TouchPad, not at the price it was originally launched at. Even the Blackberry Playbook by RIM has been a failure.
With the iPad, Apple has offered the best tablet experience, at a surprisingly (by Apple standards) low price. For an entire year, no one was able to beat Apple on price, which enabled Apple to capture a majority market share in the exploding tablet market with virtually no serious competition.
The Winners and the Losers
Apple has been the obvious winner, ringing up billions of dollars in sales, thanks to the iPad.
ARM has been another major winner. With the iPhone in 2007, and the iPad in 2010, Apple redefined two industries – smartphones and tablets. Even the standard smartphones and tablets available these days are much more powerful than the average computer was a decade ago. We now have quad-core tablets and dual-core smartphones, all of which have one common factor – ARM.
Most desktop and notebook processors are based on the X86 architecture, and are made by Intel. However, Intel's chips have traditionally been power guzzlers, which is something you absolutely don't want in any mobile device.
Almost every mobile chip is based on ARM's reference designs, and manufactured by Qualcomm, Nvidia or Texas Instruments. Intel hasn't yet been able to crack the mobile processor market. Its Atom processors failed miserably when it came to efficient power consumption and performance. It's working on a new set of processors for tablets, and is trying to push the Ultrabook onto consumers, as an alternative to tablets. It even launched a $300 million fund to encourage manufacturers to build ultrabooks.
Microsoft has been another casualty of the tablet revolution. It was late to the smartphone party with Windows Phone, and won't be launching Windows 8 until mid-2012, leaving the market open for Apple and Google to conquer.
It has also been affected indirectly by the growing popularity of tablets. Desktop sales in the last couple years have almost plateaued, and even notebook sales have slowed down considerably.
As Windows sales account for a major portion of Microsoft's revenues, and are directly linked to global desktop and notebook sales, Microsoft has seen a slump in its revenue growth in the past few quarters, which is expected to continue until the launch of Windows 8, which will run on tablets as well as computers.
According to a recent report by Bloomberg, even DRAM manufacturers have been facing losses as sales have decreased in lockstep with notebook sales.
On the other hand, flash memory manufacturers like Samsung have seen a jump in revenue, as flash memory is being increasingly used in tablets, smartphones and notebooks (thanks to the popularity of the MacBook Air, many notebook manufacturers have starting using SSDs).
Tablets may very well be the future of computing. Desktops are almost dead, and notebooks are becoming more and more like tablets – increasingly slim, portable and fast with flash storage and excellent battery life.
Winners: Apple, Samsung & ARM
Losers: Intel & Microsoft

Our Fabulous Co-Founder Armenia
As President of International Operations, Armenia lives on the road, spearheading NOVICA's developement of new regional offices worldwide. Perfect for the Job, Armenia has spent time in nearly 50 countries, is fluent in six languages, and communicates in another three languages.
When working out of NOVICA's Bali office some years ago, Armenia met Elizabeth Gilbert, the soon-to-be famous author of "Eat, Pray, Love." Little did she know that her encounter and resulting friendship would see her featured in the future book:
Extract from the book: Eat, Pray, Love
"This Armenia woman, it turns out, has had just the teensiest bit of glamorous life. She used to work for the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees. Back in the 1980's she had been sent into the El Salvadoran and Nicaraguan jungles during the height of war as a negotiator of peace, using her beauty and charm and wits to get all the generals and rebels to calm down and listen to reason. (Hello, pretty power!) Now she runs a multinational marketing business called Novica, which supports indigenous artists all over the world by selling their products on the Internet. She speaks about seven or eight languages. She's got the most fabulous pair of shoes I've seen since Rome." - Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love, pages 264-265

Modi-led opposition may win Indian elections
If becomes PM, Modi will take a tougher line with Pakistan
(Reuters) – India's main opposition party of prime ministerial hopeful Narendra Modi and its allies are set to emerge as the biggest group in an election beginning on Monday, heralding the end of a 10-year reign of the ruling party, two opinion polls showed.
In the last major poll, Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies are forecast to win 38 percent of votes, news channel CNN-IBN and Lokniti at the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies said.
Another private news channel NDVT forecast a 32.9 percent vote share for the BJP and its alliance partners.
The last phase of voting will end on May 12 and results are due on May 16.
The CNN-IBN and Lokniti poll gave 234 to 246 seats to the BJP combine — the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), while NDTV has forecast 259 seats for the NDA.
The ruling Congress-led United Progress Alliance (UPA) is expected to win 28 percent of votes, entitling them to between 111 and 123 seats, according to the CNN-IBN and Lokniti poll. The NDTV survey gives Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's UPA 26.9 percent of votes, resulting in 123 seats in parliament.
The forecasts bring the NDA within striking distance of forming the next government by reaching the halfway mark of 272 in 543 parliamentary constituencies.
Both surveys covered more than 300 constituencies. While the NDTV poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percent, the CNN-IBN and Lokniti survey does not cite a margin of error for its results.
Modi, who has presided over rapid economic growth during more than 12 years as the chief minister of Gujarat state, has been wooing voters by pointing to his track record as a leader who cuts red tape and attracts investment.
Singh's government has been hampered by its economic record, particularly its failure to tackle rising prices and falling economic growth.
But Modi's image remains tarnished by communal riots in Gujarat 12 years ago when more than 1,000 people were killed, most of them Muslims.

Plastic Injection Moulding
As contract-manufacturer we specialize in the production of injection molds and injection molded plastic parts, like ABS, PP, PA, PS, TPU, PET, PE, etc… Our manufacturing facility supplies high quality plastic products and housings for electronics, medical devices, consumer goods and other industries.
Services we can offer you
» Injection Molds: Our manufacturer Jinnuo builds all specifications of moulds in-house, from prototype to multi-cavity, aluminum to heat treated tool-steel. Our tooling products range from simple open and closed moulds to complex moulds with multiple slides, lift cores and complex parting lines.
» A Custom Rapid 3-D Printed Prototype: Clients want to test their design in the real world, to feel it in their hands, and test its functionality. A stereolithography (SLA) rapid prototype, created through an additive manufacturing process, comes close to replicating the final product and can be produced in as little as one day.
» The Right Tooling for your Project: Once the prototype phase is complete, we'll review your tooling options. If you're looking at short run production, you may be able to save money by using a simple mild steel or "cut-in-the-solid" mould. Long-term high volume production usually requires a heat-treated tool-steel mold. The complexity of your design will determine the amount of time needed to manufacture your plastic injection mould. Your mould will be tested, and first article parts submitted for your approval.
» Quality and Timely Production: At Jinnuo, we do both small and large runs, depending on your needs. We can also provide assembly. Scheduling is simple. Upon receipt of a purchase order, your order is entered into our ERP system and sent to the production floor. At Jinnuo, most orders are shipped within two weeks.
» We can do Overmolding: which uses different component materials and integrates them into a single part, much like what you might see on a toothbrush, where a soft elastomer material is molded onto a rigid handle.

This morning we led a tour of about 20 children around the Museum.
When we got to the telegraph, we thought we'd quiz the kids on Morse Code.
"Can anyone guess the name of the code used to send telegraph messages?"
One girl put up her hand. "Braille?"
"Sorry, no, that's what blind people use to read. I'll give you a clue. It starts with an M."
A little boy yelled out "Malaysian!"
When we got to the parlour, everyone thought our floral arrangement looked like it was lifted from the movie Beauty and the Beast:

Hanohano Huki Ocean Challenge, Hidden And Abandoned In San Diego, López Homestead History Hike
Events January 25-January 29, 2020
Various Authors noon, Jan. 19
The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, which oversees operations at Lindbergh Field, this week announced the award of $22 million in grant monies from the federal Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration.
San Diego International Airport, one of eight across the U.S. to receive grant funds, will apply the money toward reducing emissions around the facility, improving drainage, and continuing to implement the Quieter Home Program, which was first conceived in 1998 and provides sound insulation to residents living directly under the flight path in the Bankers Hill, Golden Hill, Middletown, Ocean Beach, Point Loma, and South Park neighborhoods.
Most of the money, $11.3 million, will go toward Quieter Homes. Since work began on the homes of the program's first participants in 2001, the airport authority says over 2600 homes have received sound-insulation retrofitting, designed to lower indoor aircraft noise by five decibels or more.
Another $3.1 million is directed toward the Voluntary Airport Low Emissions program. This money will fund pre-conditioned air units for 18 boarding gates, eliminating the need for planes to idle their engines while passengers embark and disembark. Another $7.8 million will go toward installing improved drainage systems throughout the facility.

Everyone has limited time, energy, and resources. We can't do everything. Sometimes it's hard for us conscientious folks to let these things go, especially if they are objectively good things to do, or things that our culture deems important. Or even things we've done every year in the past but don't have time for this year. That's why a "Don't-do" list can be so freeing- by giving ourselves permission to not do some things, we can do other things very well. This 2016 holiday season has been easy as pie. My "Don't-do" list is a mile long. My "To-do" list is pleasingly short. And yet everything feels nicely balanced in our household.
- No Christmas lights on the exterior of the house.
- Not a lot of decor inside the house. We do the basics- a paper banner, a tree, stockings. I just don't like the clutter.
- No Elf on the Shelf or Santa. In our home, Santa is a lovely folk tale that none of us take seriously.
- No Christmas shopping at malls/stores. What few presents we buy all come from online stores.
- No pretty gift wrapping. It's butcher paper with sharpie doodles over here, which I like to think has it's own special charm 🙂
- No Christmas cards. Never have, never will. But I do love receiving them. Very hypocritical of me.
- No daily advent calendar activities. I don't like the pressure.
- No Christmas cookie bake-off. We eat paleo, so the cookies take twice the effort, twice the cost, and taste half as good. Not even trying this year.
- As evidenced in the picture below, I don't clean up pine needles. I just let em fall and fall.
My Christmas Must-do list…
- Nightly Weinachtspyramide lighting ceremony.
- Buying a fresh-out-of-the-ground tree the day after Thanksgiving.
- Impromptu dance parties in the kitchen at least 3x a week.
- Making our own ornaments. This year was salt dough sculptures, and I finally caved and let my kids use glitter for the first time ever.
- Low-maintanence magnetic advent calendar.
- Almost nightly Christmas devotionals. If we skip some nights, no biggie.
- For our kids' gifts, we are trying the "something you want, something you need, something to wear and something to read" thing. It was so easy to shop for them this year, and we actually used our charter school funds for the "educational" toys.
*Don't do lists are very subjective. We will all differ in our priorities and values. Please don't think I'm telling you not to do any of those very good things. And please forgive me if my daughter tells your kids that Santa isn't real. I have sworn her to secrecy, but we'll see how that works out.

"Moana," Disney's new movie based on a Polynesian Myth, took in $2.6 million on Nov. 22, 2016. According to Variety, the movie starts around 1,000 years ago, in a real place and time period. Bill Schwab, art director of characters, stated it is based on real stories, facts, and legends.
Furthermore, Ian Gooding, production designer, said that the islands in the film represent real places. They gathered most of their information for the fictional island, from Samoa. This served as the model, which the fictitious island, Motunui was designed after.
"Moana" centers around a spunky 16-year-old heroine, who is the daughter of the chief Tui, of an island in Oceania called Motunui. Hawaiian actress, Auli'i Cravalho voiced the part for Moana, whose name literally means ocean. The sassy princess' adversary is a mischievous demigod named Maui, who is voiced by Dwayne Johnson.
The Production Team Went for Authenticity
The design team of "Moana," which included Gooding, Schwab and Andy Harkness, director of color and environments, felt it was important to get the characters and their native locations right. Schwab stated that the people and places are beautiful and wanted to try to make the film feel believable and unique to the area.
This thought was conducive throughout the team. Directors John Musker and Ron Clements and several crew members took multiple trips to the South Pacific to research the culture, people, and the island itself. This resulted in the design team fashioning Moana's world after the experiences they encountered.
According to Gooding, specificity such as Maui's tattoos and the fictional island, Te Fiti, based on the real life, Tahiti, which helped keep things organized. The demigod's body art alone took lots of studying, Gooding stated:
If you look up Samoan tattoos online, you'll get Samoan tattoos — but you also get ones that have 'The Lion King' theatrical logo on them or other crazy things. You have to learn about things specifically, so that you can look at one tattoo and say, 'Oh, that's a Tahitian tattoo, and that one's from Tonga. At that point, you can start designing.
According to Variety, research happened way before anyone went to the South Pacific. Matter of fact, in 2012, Gooding had been pulled from the production of "Wreck-It Ralph" to work on "Moana." At the time there was only an idea of a girl at sea on a boat. However, soon enough, the story broaden as more people joined the production team.
The Journey of Moana and Maui
At the beginning of the movie, the island goddess Te Fiti is believed to have created all the islands and life that inhabits them. This is made possible by the power of her heart, a green glowing pebble. However, the power was taken away by the fun-loving shapeshifting demigod, Maui. The mischievous demigod stole it because he wanted to give the power of creating life to humans. Unfortunately, as Maui tries to escape, he loses the pebble in the ocean after a large lava monster, Te Ka, hits him.
Moana receives help from the ocean, aka Te Fiti, who comes alive in front of her when the princess is only a baby. Te Fiti gives the glowing pebble to Moana, but her little hands are too small to hold it and she drops it in the sand. Therefore, the young princess' grandmother keeps it safe for her, in a necklace, until Moana comes of age. When Moana comes of age she must make a choice that will carry her out to forbidden ocean.
Fast forward a thousand years, where the spunky heroine princess, Moana, faces the challenge of getting the stone back, as she gets ready to step into her father's shoes and lead her people. The princess has always wanted to travel past the barrier reef that surrounds their island and go out to sea. However, her father has always forbidden it because of a tragic event in his life that ended with the death of his friend, while on an ocean journey. Moana's grandmother encourages the young princess to travel past the reef to save their people. She must find Maui and make him return the glowing heart of Te Fiti.
Even though Disney has been known to make movies with princesses falling in love with charming fellows, Moana is independent and not in search for love, rather, she is in trying to save her people. The teenage heroine takes on insurmountable tasks, including fighting a band of tiny deadly pirates to save the heart of Te Fiti. Moana is strong, confident and unshaken by danger. She is full of compassion and love, which makes her the perfect hero for young girls to emulate.

Nebula-class Corvette
The Nebula-class Star Corvette was a small starship used primarily to quickly transport a squadron of starfighters through SSF to a target location. They were also used as light support vessels and to coordinate other vessels. When it was created, it was the smallest ship class to contain an SSF gate in the GFAW.
From the mini entry:
Those who first look at this vessel may be shocked at the limited number of armaments, but trust us when we say that it does not effect performance. This first response vessel can jump into a system, speed into the fray, and unleash an entire squadron of fighters; holding its own until the larger, slower vessels can arrive. This ship's presence alone will deter pirates.
And if the vessel your ship comes in to protect is damaged, SSF rated docking clamps will hold ships tight to your vessel so you can tow it back to civilized space. The only question you need to ask is: "How many of these magnificent ships do you want in your fleet?"
Had to do hangars in LDD view because lighting didn't work in bbluerender.

Ok, cool. Yeah, those cone bricks would always import wrong when I imported my Hull and Static. Is there anything you want me to substitute for the 6x6 Circle Brick?
You pick, whatever keeps the look and the size correct.

Fantastic build! Your part usage is mind-blowing as always. Might I ask if I can render this? I would post it with your full credit, of course. Sorry I keep asking this, but your creations are always awesome!
Why are you apologizing? It's very flattering. I would love to see this build rendered by you. Any of my builds if you want to render, just do so and comment with the link, and of course give credit as I know you do. Just warning you, the cone's in front get off centered when uploaded to Mecabricks
and the cones were skewed by one stud up and back, I fixed them in the link given. But there's also at least one missing brick which is on the base of the cones. Not sure of any other errors. EDIT: There's at least one more missing piece in the front. Or maybe I missed a spot building it because the cones would cover that and they were built early on... hmmm, I don't think I missed anything.

Quite an impressive ship and nicely designed. I suggest you add bigger pictures to your post.
Any suggestions then how to circumnavigate mocpages compression, because those images before uploading are at least twice as big, then they are compressed, then they put a thumnail and have no option I see for changing it. I tried changing the code once to make different size but it distorted the image. It's been frustrating me for years.

That would be awesome. Good luck. I'm not sure if the back will hold together properly, I did some interesting techniques I learned as I was building it, and using basic construction principles it should work but never having built that way in real life I don't know... wish I had space to build something this big, and a place for it where babies could access and eat it... someday, in a few years, they'll be old enough to not eat them, and then I'll be building with them hopefully.

Story compression did not require many instructional minutes, but the ratio of instructional value to the time it took was so worthwhile!
Do you receive letters from your students at the start of the year? Do you write them back? In what ways do you get to know new students? How do you keep track of the information and use it as a guide for helping your writers grow?
All writers seek feedback. All writers write for an audience. All writers question themselves. And for these reasons, writers long to bring their work to another person– another set of eyes, another pair of ears. Hence, the writing partner in writing workshop. When working well, partnerships can help grow the confidence of each writer in our classes by providing support, authentic peer feedback, and a sounding board for ideas. Here are a few ingredients to consider when creating a community of writers…
Teaching students to take the risks necessary to be inventive spellers means I have to respect the stage of development of the student. I can't expect the students to know (or use) something I haven't taught. It also means communicating to parents about what it means to use inventive spelling and its role in developing writers and readers.
For the last two weeks, I have had the privilege of visiting classrooms and talking about kindness. After watching the Kid President video, 20 Things We Should Say More Often the teacher and… Continue reading
Did you experiment with some poetry now that the school year is in full swing? If not, here are a few more ideas to convince you poetry can be woven into your day. It starts with you.
It can feel scary and uncertain to step away from a traditional practice like assigning homework. Following your teacher heart (and your gut) and reading what other professionals and researchers have shared can make you feel more confident in taking a risk and trying a new policy. Read on to see how one teacher (me) changed how and why homework is assigned.
Time is precious, and your mental energy even more so. Why waste either when others before you have learned through trial and error? Avoid common missteps by reading these simple tips.
We're not just teaching writers to be independent, we're teaching them how to be independent.

We, at Two Writing Teachers, pause today to remember all the lives that were lost and the heroes who gave their all in trying to save others. Since tomorrow is a Slice of Life Tuesday, our post about 9/11 is published today.
Add six new picture books to your back-to-school read alouds and to your mentor text collection this fall.
After you read through this post, be sure to leave a comment about how you'd use these books in your classroom for a chance to win all six of them.
For many of us who work to live as writers and teachers who write, we likely do so in order to appreciate the challenge, the complexity, and the thrill that writing can provide for our lives. It is living through the process that matters. But what about turning some of our writing into teaching tools for our writing workshops? Here are four tips…
No longer scared and timid, our work has forged a community of writers.
As you join us on Tuesday year-round for Slice of Life we hope to learn about how being a teacher who writes is making its presence in your days.
For some, this might be your last evening before school begins. For others, you might be on your third week! Tonight I'm sharing five, five-minute ideas that might just help you fit poetry into your day, each day. I needed to find a solution to the lack of poetry in my day for my students and I'm hoping these ideas might just inspire some of your own as you begin a new year.

The Ghost Goes Ga-Ga!
From the June 1948 issue of Thrilling Comics #66.

Nice splash.
It seems to be missing a page between 4 and 5, I understand this was to fool the reader but it really breaks the flow of the story.
There *is* real horror in this, and not just the trivialization of suicide. No, the real horror is how women were written in the 40s -- they had two moods, dizzy in love or ready to punch somebody's teeth out! Comic writers didn't get a lot of dates, I see! I think I'd rather face the vampries and werewolves!
I have no problem with these different posts. Out of all the "different" I especially love the more Mad/Cracked/Crazy whatever comical monster posts. You do a great service, and while I might snark here and there, I'm always entertained!

It may not be a real horror story, but it's got plenty to make Dr. Wertham's 1950's followers horrified. He could have used a few of these illustrations in his book. Headlights under straining tops all over the place, some guy running around with only a sheet proclaiming that the cops are after him like some kind of flasher, and lots more! I thought it was fun and well illustrated.

Andrew Shaw got on the board and Corey Crawford continued his strong start to the season as the Blackhawks started their long road trip in Minnesota on Wednesday night.
Trailing 1-0, Bryan Bickell attacked the net and Shaw deposited a rebound to get the Blackhawks on the scoreboard. Jonathan Toews quickly followed to put Chicago on top. The Toews goal chased Minnesota starting goaltender Josh Harding, who was shown expressing his frustration in the tunnel at the expense of his stick after being pulled from the game.
The Hawks killed a 5-on-3 that lasted almost 90 seconds late in the first, which included the incredible Crawford save seen above. For his night's work, Crawford stopped 23 of 25 shots in 65 minutes, including a number of key saves in the third period to keep the game tied.
Shaw had his best game of the young season, winning 6 of 11 faceoffs. He was also credited with a hit and a takeaway and had a lot of good energy throughout the game.
Brandon Saad continued to play well, creating a lot of traffic around the Minnesota net. His point total hasn't been indicative of the quality of play he's provided this season, and his comfort level has increased with each game while skating next to Toews and Marian Hossa.
Chicago's penalty kill came up huge again late when Patrick Sharp was sent to the box for hooking at 17:55 in the final frame. All four Wild power plays were handled in regulation, with the final kill sending the game into overtime.
On the blue line, coach Joel Quenneville spread out the ice time among his top four defensemen once again; Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, Niklas Hjalmarsson and Johnny Oduya were all between 21 and just over 28 minutes, including the overtime.
Unfortunately, Sharp hit the crossbar with the Hawks' third and final shootout attempt and Chicago suffered their first loss of the season.
Toews won 13 of 23 faceoffs to lead the Hawks at the dot, while Bickell, Hossa and Patrick Kane were credited with assists in the game.
