Network Load Balancing is a regional, non-proxied load balancer.
Google Cloud Network Load Balancing distributes traffic among VM instances in the same region in a VPC network.
In a network load balancer, forwarding rules direct TCP and UDP traffic across regional backends.
You can use Network Load Balancing to load balance UDP, TCP, and SSL traffic on ports that are not supported by the TCP proxy and SSL proxy load balancers.
The following diagram shows users in California, New York, and Singapore. They're all connecting into their backend resources, which are myapp, test, and travel. When a user in Singapore connects into the U.S. West backend, the traffic ingresses closest to Singapore, because the range is anycasted. From there, the traffic is routed to the regional backend.
Protocols, scheme, and scope
Each network load balancer supports either TCP or UDP traffic (not both).
A network load balancer uses a target pool to contain the backend instances among which traffic is load balanced.
A network load balancer balances traffic originating from the internet. You cannot use it to load balance traffic that originates within GCP between your instances.
The scope of a network load balancer is regional, not global. This means that a network load balancer cannot span multiple regions. Within a single region, the load balancer services all zones. See Regions and Zones.
Use Network Load Balancing in the following circumstances:
- You need to load balance UDP traffic, or you need to load balance a TCP port that isn't supported by other load balancers.
- It is acceptable to have SSL traffic decrypted by your backends instead of by the load balancer. The network load balancer cannot perform this task. When the backends decrypt SSL traffic, there is a greater CPU burden on the VMs.
- Self-managing the load balancer's SSL certificates is acceptable to you. Google-managed SSL certificates are only available for HTTPS and SSL Proxy Load Balancing.
- You need to forward the original packets unproxied.
- You have an existing setup that uses a pass-through load balancer, and you want to migrate it without changes.
See Choosing a Load Balancer and Overview of Load Balancing for information on how the Cloud load balancers differ from each other.
About Network Load Balancing
Network Load Balancing has the following characteristics:
- Network Load Balancing is a managed service.
- Network Load Balancing is implemented using Andromeda virtual networking and Google Maglev.
- Network load balancers are not proxies.
- Responses from the backend VMs go directly to the clients, not back through the load balancer. The industry term for this is direct server return.
- The load balancer preserves the source IP addresses of packets.
- The destination IP address for packets is the regional external IP address associated with the load balancer's forwarding rule.
Instances that participate as backend VMs for network load balancers must be running the appropriate Linux Guest Environment, Windows Guest Environment, or other processes that provide equivalent functionality.
The guest OS environment (or an equivalent process) is responsible for configuring local routes on each backend VM. These routes allow the VM to accept packets that have a destination that matches the IP address of the load balancer's forwarding rule.
On the backend instances that accept load balanced traffic, you must configure the software to bind to the IP address associated with the load balancer's forwarding rule (or to any IP address,
Network load balancers balance the load on your systems based on incoming IP protocol data, such as address, port, and protocol type.
The network load balancer is a pass-through load balancer, so your backends receive the original client request. The network load balancer doesn't do any Transport Layer Security (TLS) offloading or proxying. Traffic is directly routed to your VMs.
When you create a forwarding rule for the load balancer, you receive an ephemeral virtual IP address (VIP) or reserve a VIP that originates from a regional network block.
You then associate that forwarding rule with your backends. The VIP is anycasted from Google's global points of presence, but the backends for a network load balancer are regional. The load balancer cannot have backends that span multiple regions.
You can use GCP firewalls to control or filter access to the backend VMs.
The network load balancer examines the source and destination ports, IP address, and protocol to determine how to forward packets. For TCP traffic, you can modify the forwarding behavior of the load balancer by configuring session affinity.
Load distribution algorithm
By default, to distribute traffic to instances, the
session affinity value is
set to
NONE. Cloud Load Balancing picks an instance based on a hash of the
source IP and port, destination IP and port, and protocol. This means that
incoming TCP connections are spread across instances and each new connection may
go to a different instance. All packets for a connection are directed to the same
instance until the connection is closed. Established connections are not taken
into account in the load balancing process.
Regardless of the session affinity setting, all packets for a connection are directed to the chosen instance until the connection is closed. An existing connection has no impact on load balancing decisions for new incoming connections. This can result in an imbalance among backends if long-lived TCP connections are in use.
You can choose a different session affinity setting if you need multiple
connections from a client to go to the same instance. See
sessionAffinity in
the Target Pools
documentation for more information.
Target pools
A Target Pool resource defines a group of instances that should receive incoming traffic from forwarding rules. When a forwarding rule directs traffic to a target pool, Cloud Load Balancing picks an instance from these target pools based on a hash of the source IP and port and the destination IP and port. See the section on the Load distribution algorithm for more information about how traffic is distributed to instances.
Target pools can only be used with forwarding rules that handle TCP and UDP traffic. For all other protocols, you must create a target instance. You must create a target pool before you can use it with a forwarding rule. Each project can have up to 50 target pools.
If you intend for your target pool to contain a single virtual machine instance, you should consider using the Protocol Forwarding feature instead.
Network Load Balancing supports Cloud Load Balancing Autoscaler, which allows users to perform autoscaling on the instance groups in a target pool based on backend utilization. For more information, see Scaling based on CPU utilization.
Learn more about target pools and how to configure them.
Forwarding rules
Forwarding rules work in conjunction with target pools and target instances to support load balancing and protocol forwarding features. To use load balancing and protocol forwarding, you must create a forwarding rule that directs traffic to specific target pools (for load balancing) or target instances (for protocol forwarding). It is not possible to use either of these features without a forwarding rule.
Forwarding Rule resources live in the Forwarding Rules collection. Each forwarding rule matches a particular IP address, protocol, and optionally, port range to a single target pool or target instance. When traffic is sent to an external IP address that is served by a forwarding rule, the forwarding rule directs that traffic to the corresponding target pool or target instances. You can create up to 50 forwarding rule objects per project.
Learn more about forwarding rules and how to configure them.
If you are load balancing UDP packets that are likely to be fragmented before arriving at your Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network, see Load balancing and fragmented UDP packets.
Multiple forwarding rules
You can configure multiple regional external forwarding rules for the same network TCP/UDP load balancer. Each forwarding rule can have a unique regional external IP address, or multiple forwarding rules can reference the same regional external IP address. Multiple forwarding rules can reference the same target proxy.
Configuring multiple regional external forwarding rules can be useful for these use cases:
- You need to configure more than one external IP address for the same target pool.
- You need to configure different port ranges or different protocols, using the same external IP address, for the same target pool.
When using multiple forwarding rules, make sure that you configure the software running on your backend VMs so that it binds to all necessary IP addresses. This is required because the destination IP addresses for packets delivered through the load balancer is the regional external IP address associated with the respective regional external forwarding rule.
Health checking
Health checks ensure that Compute Engine forwards new connections only to instances that are up and ready to receive them. Compute Engine sends health check requests to each instance at the specified frequency. Once an instance exceeds its allowed number of health check failures, it is no longer considered an eligible instance for receiving new traffic. Existing connections are not actively terminated, which allows instances to shut down gracefully and close TCP connections.
The health checker continues to query unhealthy instances, and returns an
instance to the pool when the specified number of successful checks occur. If
all instances are marked as
UNHEALTHY, the load balancer directs new traffic
to all existing instances.
Network Load Balancing relies on legacy HTTP Health checks to determine instance health. Even if your service does not use HTTP, you must run a basic web server on each instance that the health check system can query.
Return path
Google Cloud uses special routes not defined in your VPC network for health checks. For complete information on this, read Load balancer return paths.
Firewall rules and Network Load Balancing
Health checks for Network load balancers are sent from the following IP ranges. You'll need to create ingress allow firewall rules that permit traffic from those ranges. For an example firewall rule, refer to rules for Network Load Balancing.
Network Load Balancing is a pass-through load balancer, which means that your firewall rules must allow traffic from the client source IP addresses. If your service is open to the Internet, then it is easiest to allow traffic from all IP ranges. If you want to restrict access so that only certain source IP addresses are allowed, you can set up firewall rules to enforce that restriction, but you must allow access from the health check IP ranges.
For a configuration example, refer to Rules for Network Load Balancing.
Session affinity
Network Load Balancing doesn't use backend services session affinity. Instead, network load balancers use target pools for session affinity.
See the
sessionAffinity parameter in
Target Pools.
Load balancing and fragmented UDP packets
If you are load balancing UDP packets, be aware of the following:
- Unfragmented packets are handled normally in all configurations.
- UDP packets may become fragmented before reaching GCP. Intervening networks may wait for all fragments to arrive before forwarding them, causing delay, or may drop fragments. GCP does not wait for all fragments; it forwards each fragment as soon as it arrives.
Since subsequent UDP fragments do not contain the destination port, problems can occur in these situations:
- If Target Pools session
affinity is set to
NONE(5-tuple affinity), the subsequent fragments may be dropped because the load balancer cannot calculate the 5-tuple hash.
- If there is more than one UDP forwarding rule for the same load balanced IP address, subsequent fragments may arrive at the wrong forwarding rule.
- If Target Pools session affinity is set to
If you expect fragmented UDP packets, do the following:
- Set session affinity to
CLIENT_IP. Do not use
NONE(5-tuple hashing). Since
CLIENT_IPdo not use the destination port for hashing, they can calculate the same hash for subsequent fragments as for the first fragment.
- Use only one UDP forwarding rule per load balanced IP address. This ensures that all fragments arrive at the same forwarding rule.
With these settings, UDP fragments from the same packet are forwarded to the same instance for reassembly.

Research has shown that 9 out of 10 conversations miss the mark
We are in conversations every day in our work and personal lives, yet how much of your time goes into resolving issues resulting from miscommunication? Instead of using conversations to create trust and healthy connections, we fall into patterns such as talking past each other, banging heads, becoming addicted to being right or allowing the lower parts of the brain that trigger fear and judgment to take over.
But what if you could leverage the power of conversation to create even deeper, more impactful results with the people you live and work with? Understanding the Neuroscience of Conversations and applying this wisdom transforms our interactions and opens up new pathways for mutual success.
Conversations are your currency for having quality relationships and are a defining factor of your success. Understanding the neuroscience behind conversational patterns allows you to move from conversations that miss the mark to conversations that create trust and healthy connections, and even trigger growth, innovation, and new insights.
This workshop is presented by Northwest Corner Coaches
In this presentation you will
• Learn how to build trust and connectivity with C-IQ conversation essentials,
• Learn how we can regulate neurotransmitters with open and closed conversations,
• Discover how shifting from I-centric to WE-Centric conversations builds trust for higher engagement and greater capacity for co-creative innovation.
Lynne Brisdon, PCC was certified in Conversational Intelligence® in 2018 after a year of intense study. She regularly coaches people to increase self-awareness and become more effective communicators to improve relationship dynamics and build leadership capacity. She has presented on C-IQ for ICF WA North West Corner Satellite group, CPHR Vancouver Round Table and Pacific Community Resources, Professional Development Day.
"To get to the next level of greatness depends on the quality of our culture, which depends on the quality of our relationships, which depends on the quality of our conversations. Everything happens through conversations! "

Club Reports: Vintage, Antigua, Roc Room, Tabu, I-Bar
Although this Blog is purposely fixated on Pleasure Island, our other mission is to report on alternate clubbing venues that you might enjoy. Downtown Orlando is full of them. Pictured above is Vintage which along with next-door neighbor Vixen features House/Dance music. Former Mannequins DJ Dominic spins Saturday nights at Vintage. The music was awesome...just like Mannequins....but the dance floor is small and most people were drinking and not dancing. The lower picture shows the "hole" in the upper wall which is where the DJ is located upstairs. It's impossible for the DJ and crowd to have any interaction. A manager told me they hope to have the DJ downstairs within six months. A big thanks to Dom for playing our Mannequins-favorite The DJ Made Me Do It by Robin (Dave Aude remix) last night!
DJ Nova at Antigua normally plays Top 40, mashups and a few oldies on Saturday night but I was told that radio advertising this week said they would be playing 70's Disco. And sure enough, they really were. The dance floor was full but the back of the club was relatively empty which is unlike most Saturday nights. I don't know if this was a one time thing or if future Saturdays will be Disco too. But it was fun and guys drink for free until 11pm, ladies until midnight.
Hidden in an alley upstairs and behind Antigua is Roc Room. Very upscale and also playing a House mix, it was too crowded to ascertain the location of their dance floor. It was also too crowded for me to locate a friend's birthday party I was looking for!
And then there's Tabu Night Club, likely the most famous of Orlando clubs. Owned by attorney John Morgan, most nights at Tabu are hip-hop oriented and Saturday is no different. Buskers out on Orange Avenue were handing out "Free Entry" cards for the ladies and I already have a permanent Friday/Saturday pass. It was packed inside. I didn't recognize the DJ. He did play Black Eyed Peas' Boom Boom Pow so it wasn't 100% hip hop.
Finally, no visit downtown is complete without a visit to the smoky, gothy Independent Bar. The music is New Wave/Old Wave but this place is more about people-watching than anything else, at least to me. I still hope to report on Sky 60, Suite B Lounge and Bliss in the near future!

A Double-Barreled Shotgun is a shotgun with two parallel barrels, allowing two shots to be fired in quick succession.
Double-barreled shotguns, often known as doubles, are almost universally break open actions, with the barrels tilting up at the rear to expose the breech ends of the barrels for unloading and reloading. Since there is no reciprocating action needed to eject and reload the shells, doubles are more compact than repeating designs such as pump action or Lever-action shotguns.
The early doubles used two triggers, one for each barrel. These were located front to back inside the trigger guard, the index finger being used to pull either trigger, as having two fingers inside the trigger guard can cause a recoil induced double-discharge. Double trigger designs are typically set up for right-handed users. In double trigger designs, it is often possible to pull both triggers at once, firing both barrels simultaneously, though this is generally not recommended as it doubles the recoil, battering both shooter and shotgun. Discharging both barrels at the same time has long been a hunting trick employed by hunters using 8 gauge "elephant" shotguns, firing the two two-ounce slugs for sheer stopping power at close range.

Mobile has brought huge transformations into our lives, and it will not stop. The future of mobile applications is very promising for both consumers and businesses.
In recent years we have seen some tremendous development in mobile applications development. The past few years saw an aggressive encounter between iOS and Android, increased efforts in making mobile transactions more secure and improvement in the user interface to make mobile apps more interactive and convenient.
However, with the growing demand, the technology continues to evolve rapidly.2017 will see a complete paradigm shift; industries will transfer their complete focus giving more focus to mobile applications than any other technology. What will we see in this new battle? Some of the prominent trends for 2017 will include:
Internet of Things (IoT) is going to happen:
With more smart gadgets pouring into the market, the Mobile Applications will now focus on connecting all your gadgets to your smartphone. A dedicated application to control your appliances and gadgets will be the center of focus in 2017.
Android will supplant iOS:
iOS ruled the mobile application industry, but with the growing popularity of Android and more and more smartphones featuring the famous operating system by Google, the industry will experience more emphasis on Android-based applications. This year will be "Android First" year unlike before.
Messengers will become the new name of the game:
With industries desperately seeking a way to enhance connectivity for consumers, messengers are gaining more and more attention of the developers. Aspirations are to boost engagement and experiences for consumers which have resulted in an addition of features like temporary stories, interactive stickers, audio, and video calling options, etc. Things will keep adding up this year, to make messengers more interesting for users.
Security will be pre-eminent:
More interactions and transactions through mobile mean more vulnerability. The immense activity that mobile continues to generate, attracts hackers to play their games. Therefore, to ensure safe and trustful user experience, the UX will have to embed impermeable security measures; systems that ensure no data spoofing or breach will become the focal point of most mobile applications developers.
Level up from "Mobile First" to "Mobile Plus":
Over the past decade, industries have been emphasizing of shifting to mobile solutions. Although there is still a large space vacant in the consumer market, the year 2017 will see ascensions in mobile strategy. Combining cloud and other integrated solutions, mobile will grow to become an all-in-one solution for consumers.
Ultimately, businesses failing to keep up with the rapid evolution and latest development trend in the mobile application industry will face serious threats, threats that can only be controlled by taking a holistic approach towards mobile apps.

Soybeans have been called the "wonder crop" for all the products that can be made from the versatile legume—including cooking oil, tofu, livestock feed, and biodiesel, to name just a few. But America's second-largest field crop next to corn is no match against Phomopsis longicolla, a seed rot fungus, which, along with other species, cost soybean producers in 16 southern states over 2 million bushels in losses in 2012.
Applying fungicides, rotating soybeans with nonhost crops, and tilling the soil are among strategies used by growers to prevent P. longicolla from causing Phomopsis seed decay (PSD), a disease which degrades the seed and reduces the quality of the protein and oil constituents. "Breeding for resistance to PSD is the most effective long-term strategy," notes Shuxian Li, a plant pathologist in the Agricultural Research Service's Crop Genetics Research Unit in Stoneville, Mississippi.
As part of a Phomopsis resistance program there, Li has sought to learn more about how the fungus inflicts harm at the cellular level. Towards that end, she and colleagues enlisted the aid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a soil bacterium commonly used in genetic engineering procedures to endow plants with new traits. In this instance, the team used the bacterium to "shuttle" genes for an antibiotic marker and green fluorescent protein (GFP) into the nuclei of the fungus's cells. This resulted in new P. longicolla strains that produce the protein and emit a green glow when exposed to light in the blue-to-ultraviolet range.
"Green fluorescent protein is amazingly useful in scientific research, because it allows researchers to look directly into the inner workings of cells," says Li, who collaborated with Burton Bluhm and others at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. "Using this transformation method, we can monitor how the fungus infects plants."
The researchers compared the characteristics of seven GFP-modified strains to an unmodified "parent" isolate, and they confirmed the presence of the protein by using a molecular test method called "Southern blot analysis" and by direct observation with a confocal laser scanning microscope. A paper published in the March 2013 issue of the Journal of Microbiological Methods describes their research in detail.
Li plans on inoculating soybean seedlings with the modified strains to study how the infection process unfolds within the tissues of both resistant and susceptible soybean germplasm lines. She expects use of the GFP-expressing strains will also help to identify sources of PSD resistance that may escape detection using conventional disease-screening methods, such as field observation or visual assessment of seed on culture medium in the laboratory.
With the recent sequencing of P. longicolla's entire genomic code, use of the transformed strains will allow researchers to probe the function of specific genes for virulence directly in soybean plants, potentially unlocking new clues to protecting this important crop. Use of the soybeans with GFP, however, will be limited to scientific research.—By Jan Suszkiw, Agricultural Research Service Information Staff.
This research is part of Plant Genetic Resources, Genomics, and Genetic Improvement (#301) and Plant Diseases (#303), two ARS national programs described at www.nps.ars.usda.gov.
Shuxian Li is in the USDA-ARS Crop Genetics Research Unit, 141 Experiment Station Rd., Stoneville, MS 38776; (662) 686-3061.
"Advance May Speed Development of Seed Rot-Resistant Soybeans" was published in the May/June 2014 issue of Agricultural Research magazine.

Social engineering is an umbrella term for a range of methods for illegally accessing systems, buildings, locations or gaining information through manipulation of people, usually circumventing any and all security controls. These techniques can be used as part of a wider attack against organisations or in isolation to achieve a specific aim. While technical controls can be used to enforce security, almost all can be overridden by an appropriate human element.
Social engineering attacks are designed to trick unsuspecting people into performing actions or broadcasting confidential information. Understanding human psychology is key. Simple techniques such as holding a large box near an entrance to a building may result in a helpful employee holding an access controlled door open. A number of other common techniques are listed below:
• Baiting – Leaving a data storage device, such as a USB drive or CD/DVD in an appropriate place with the intention for it to be found and plugged into the victim's computer.
• Phishing – Sending forged emails to victims from an apparently trusted source, in order to deploy malware, trick users into divulging passwords or other sensitive information.
• Spear Phishing – A targeted version of phishing where the email is bespoke to a specific individual, usually someone in a privilege position (such as a systems administrator) or position of authority (such as a Finance Director)
• Scareware – Tricking the victim into thinking their computer is infected with malware or has inadvertently downloaded illegal content. The attacker then offers the victim a solution that will fix the bogus problem; in reality, the victim is simply tricked into downloading and installing the attacker's real malware.
How can companies prevent an attack?
Security awareness training focussed on combatting social engineering attacks should be delivered throughout the entire organisation. This training should be based around the organisation's security policies, standards and procedures with an appropriate minimum level of measurable awareness for all employees. Metrics can be provided by surveys, tests or assessment of the results of exercises. Enhanced awareness training should be given to those with privileged access or who deal with sensitive information.
Upon induction all employees should complete the training and annually renew this, metrics should be available to ensure that employees have completed the training, how effective it is and that it hasn't expired.
Some suggested awareness topics:
• Dealing with cold calling and queries carefully
• Plan what to do in the event of an unidentified person in the office
• Define when to raise the alarm and incident management
• Be aware of suspicious emails
• Avoid inappropriate web usage
• Safe use of removable media
• Think about mobile security out of the office
• Your individual responsibility for awareness and security
• Secure your offices, doors and barriers
• Be aware of the use of social media and its role in social engineering
Delivery of training will be dependent on each organisation. Some will require face-to-face training in small groups, others will prefer Computer-Based Training (CBT) or YouTube style videos. Ideally some form of check should be performed to ascertain whether the person fully understands what is needed of them, such as a quiz or score able interactive training delivery. Key to the effectiveness of this delivery will be consistency of message and frequent updates. Social engineering attackers are ingenious and continually develop new techniques – so must we in order to protect ourselves against them.
Are you prepared?
Capita's Cyber Security consultancy team can assess your security awareness through a series of exercises, which mimic a real-life attack on the organisation without the malicious intent. The majority of businesses now have annual penetration testing against their information systems but many do not address potentially the weakest and most impacting element, the human.
We will work with you to scope out a series of assessments which could include an email phishing exercise, gaining sensitive information through a telephone call, or a physical site visit to test whether someone could infiltrate your building and gain access to systems or information.
Our team use the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual (OSSTMM) which is designed to test operational security and provides a legal framework and code of conduct. A number of phases are defined in this:
1. Preparatory phase – Rules of engagement, reconnaissance, rehearsals and creating collateral (ID cards, forms, company documentation)
2. Execution – Timing, actions, focus, conduct on site
3. Extraction and Reporting – Notes & photographs, next steps, presentation of findings and reporting
Once the exercises are complete, you will be presented with a report detailing the findings and recommendations to improve your security awareness and physical controls.

In Organizing asynchronous calls to google.script.run I showed how to avoid spaghetti with google.script.run callbacks to server side functions that needed to run sequentially. You should take a look at that first if you are unfamiliar with promises or google.script.run. One of the useful things you can do with HTMLService is to provoke multiple server side calls in parallel (since each server call is a separate instance). Using callbacks could get messy, so in this example I'll use Promises again.
The task is to, in parallel, get the names sheets in a number of spreadsheets, and then get the heading row from each. In a real life example, you might use the names of the sheets to construct a series of drop downs for the user to select from.
Server side functions
We can use the same server side functions as in Organizing asynchronous calls to google.script.run
Get the names of all the sheets in a book
function getSheetsInBook (id) {
return SpreadsheetApp
.map(function (d) {
return d.getName();
Get a single row of data from a given sheet
// get a single row of data
function getDataFromRow (id , sheetName, rowOffset) {
return SpreadsheetApp
.offset(rowOffset, 0, 1)
Client side calls
Here's the final function, driven by an array of spreadsheet ids.
var ids = [
function getMultipleSheets() {
return Promise.all (ids.map (function (id,i) {
return promiseRun ('getSheetsInBook' , id)
.then (function (result) {
showResult (result, "sheets",i);
return promiseRun ('getDataFromRow', id , result[1] , 0);
.then (function (result) {
showResult (result, "headings",i);
Promise.all is a function that takes an array of promises as an argument, and returns a new promise which consolidates all the promises in the array and their results. This promise is resolved when EACH of the promises it is handling is resolved. That means I can construct an array of chained promised that sequentially get the sheet list, pick one, then get the heading row. Each set of chained promises will execute simultaneously so we get the benefit of parallel running.

Fair Usage Policy (FUP) helps keep a tab on customers' data usage. The policy is adopted by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Telecommunications Service Providers (TSPs). The policy alerts them to reduce a user's upload or download speed after the customer reaches a certain data cap.
The policy is fair as it asks the companies to provide services in a transparent manner and give all important information to the customers. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has directed that customers should be given information about all the plans and which FUP is applicable to each scheme. They also need to be notified when their data limit reaches levels of 80% and 100%. Besides, companies need to ensure that the speed doesn't go below the specified minimum.
It is also mandated that the conditions of all plans should be explicit in advertisements and not hidden in the small print. Besides, the advertisements should also provide a link for the users to check detailed plans on the company's website.
Shortcomings in implementation
TRAI has mentioned that the companies should not cut down the speeds or charge extra when they use the word 'unlimited' in their plans. But many popular telecom companies and ISPs do not implement this rule. TRAI has been unsuccessful to regulate such malpractices.
In June 2015, a report from the content delivery network Akamai stated that India ranks 115th in the world on the basis of average internet speed. The condition of high-speed internet in India is pitiful. The recently launched Digital India initiative may change the scenario, but the government will have to be more strict and active in order for digitization to be fruitful in the country.
Role of Tikona Digital Networks
Tikona Digital Networks has been implementing the FUP well, and is thus attracting more customers. Tikona offers 'Unlimited Usage Monthly Super Saver' plan. It offers various plans depending upon your usage, like the one with 2 Mbps speed at INR 700 per month or the one with 4 Mbps speed at INR 1250 per month. It also has plans with longer validity of 6 to 12 months with speed range of 2 Mbps to 4 Mbps and price range of INR 3300 to INR 7999.
Founded in 2008, it is known for its high-speed wireless networks. It provides WI-Fi data connectivity to homes, small offices and large corporations, too. Its website provides details of the available services at different locations. Tikona offers its data connections in 25 cities in India and is serving 2.75 lakh customers at present.

Not really sure what this is, just a little something I cranked out and wanted to post. For a character background story or for something a little closer to home, your choice, but you know, out with it (*ahem* as in tell me how great/terrible/horrifying it is)
Lovely, thank you, darlings!
Description: Loneliness never really goes away
For as long as I can remember, loss has been the most predominant part of my life. Memories gone by of funerals, of days where the house was empty, so empty sitting alone felt like the most normal thing in the world. Perhaps it all started early on, a childhood idea, just a thought that blossomed into this all-consuming terrifying feeling that never goes away, an idea that wrote its own wings and flew away, taking a part of myself that I never even knew, with it.
That all seems a bit dramatized though.
If I really focus in on the cause, I know it well. It all began in the late 1990s, when the word cancer meant certain death. When a figure in my life, someone that I cherished, was diagnosed. As a child, you don't realize how quickly life goes by. But I see now. Days in hospitals turned into hours, seconds even that I was not with her. Weekends spent away from home because she was probably sick from radiation treatment translating into time without her.
By the time I grasped the finality of it, it was too late. That is why even now, when I got the chance to say goodbye on the night she died, I don't feel as though we did. I feel empty. Diseased. Poisoned. The grief sometimes sickens me to the point where I just sit alone crying and I want to vomit, why couldn't I have been smarter, realized sooner? The loss feels like this giant black hole inside of me that sucks up anything lovely and replaces it with this black cold.
And it doesn't go away. No matter how many friends I surround myself with, no matter how many letters I write or how many characters I create. It never does. The moment I find myself alone, if only for a second, it's like a blow to the chest. And at school that isn't a problem, because I have friends, fantastic friends. Friends that don't know how much their time helps me. It's home that's the problem, but it's also me.
The emptiness shouldn't be comforting, but it is. Because in a sense, it's one of the only constants I've carried in my life so long that anything else is frightening and confusing. I make myself alone, I create situations where I stand alone among people. That strange feeling where you are surrounded by people but feel so utterly alone that you want to curl into a ball and cry.
I know it. I know it well. The emptiness that digs a hole in your heart so deep that nothing seems to fill it. The cries that are lost in the darkness because you are too frightened to let someone see how damaged you find yourself, because normal people don't feel this way. The acting, the masking tape that covers the hole that seems to change the person you are. Or that you ignore it, that you honest-to-God pretend that it's all a lie. You don't feel like this, that it's just another mask. But that backfires so soon you wouldn't even believe.
Loneliness never really goes away.

Mountain Light
At an altitude of 12,000 feet at it's highest elevation, the road that passes through Rocky Mountain National Park is one of the highest in the US. Oxygen levels are low up here, and if you aren't used to the change, it can be tough even to walk. But the view is incredible, especially after one of the frequent thunderstorms.
My goal was to capture the details in the boulder in the foreground, and to show the beautiful layers in the landscape. I used a soft GND filter to balance the light between the sky and the ground. Even with the help of the filter, the range of light between the sky and the ground was too great for the camera to capture without blown highlights or a loss of detail in the shadows. I used our iHDR manual blending technique to restore the details in the highlights.

VA staff left dead vet's body in shower nine hours
(Tampa Bay Times) - Staff members at the Bay Pines VA Healthcare System left the body of a veteran in a shower room for more than nine hours then tried to cover up the mistake, a hospital investigation shows.
A report of the investigation's findings provides no information about the veteran, who died in February at the hospice unit of the Bay Pines center, 10000 Bay Pines Blvd.
Some hospice staff violated hospital and Veterans Affairs policies by "failing to provide appropriate post-mortem care," including proper transportation of a body to the morgue, according to the report by the hospital's Administrative Investigation Board.
Bay Pines ordered retraining and a change in procedures as a result of the incident, and "appropriate personnel action was taken," said hospital spokesman Jason Dangel.
"We view this finding as unacceptable," Dangel said.
He declined to elaborate on whether workers were fired or disciplined, citing employee confidentiality rules.

I spent Saturday doing something I've dreamt about doing from a young age – dancing at Pineapple Dance Studios! In my teens I did Jazz for several years – I'm going to be honest, I wasn't amazing, but I did it as I love to dance. Westfields are currently running a Heels v Flats campaign, so sent me and five other bloggers up to Pineapple Dance studios to see which won when it came to dancing.
Now I am a devout flats wearer, I only pull out my heels (usually my faithful wedges) on special occasions. Even on my wedding days the heels came off once I was down the aisle and the pictures were done. But on Saturday I donned my highest heels during a one and half hour dance lesson.
Apart from Jess from LWIG, I hadn't had the pleasure of meeting my fellow dance students who were The Strawberry Sisters, Emma and Ali. We started off in flats learning a dance to 'Single Ladies' by Beyonce (I have wanted to learn this routine FOREVER). We learnt 8 beats at time and I was sort of getting a hang of it, but still had moments where I was tripping over my own legs.
We then popped on our heels, and despite being convinced all morning that I was going to break an ankle, I went from an awkward amateur with two left feet to feeling like…
Oddly with the heels on not only did I feel like a fierce, sexy and empowered women, I actually managed to dance better. When you are wearing heels you stand taller, straighter and your legs look great, so I guess all of these added to my new found confidence (as well as having got to terms with the steps in flats).
When it comes to Heels vs Flats, I think I am still a flats girl day to day (my feet really ached on Sunday) but I think that in future I will be less hesitant to wear my heels, and have already invested in some sensible day to day heels!
So where do you stand in the Heels vs Flats debate?

Having a website is not an assurance that your business will go well. You have to do more than just publish your website for Gold Coast tyres because an online presence is what fuels majority of the businesses these days. A good website might sound fine but a great website is what you should aim for and it all comes to down to web design. If you are hiring a professional web designer, make sure to have a talk about the things you want and how to offer the best customer experience while they browse you site online.
First impression is very important. Customers nowadays do not go straight to the shops to buy something. Often, they will search online first for reviews regarding the company and this is when they will find your website. Therefore, your website must be a reflection of your brand and it should be easy to use and exude professionalism. Make sure that all essential information is listed and included in the website.
Each customer has a different reason why they went to your website. Others are simply looking for the contact number while some might be expecting to see more such as the services and products offered by the company. Regardless of their need, the website must be easy to navigate. They should be able to find the links to the pages they need to see and there should not be any confusion as where to go next.
The layout of the website can affect the impression of customers. For businesses such as tyre shops, the content must be organized and laid out carefully. Things should be as simple as possible but visually enticing to encourage the visitor to stay on the site and explore more. This increases the probability of turning a visitor into sales.
Do not forget to invest in a mobile responsive website. This is important for businesses like Gold Coast tyres because customers might be on the road when faced with the need to find a tyre shop. The tendency is for them to use their mobile phones when searching and if your website is not mobile optimized then you might be missing out on a lot of sales.

Ebook and paperback now available at all online bookstores for $2.99/$15.95!
After Waverly finished his beer Frank let him out the front door then stepped outside to watch Keith walk down the boardwalk to a rusty, mid-sixties Oldsmobile, the driver-side mirror dangling down to the middle of the door on thin wire cables. Already feeling the internal stirrings signaling the beginnings of his acid trip, Frank watched the big Olds disappear around the corner before going back inside the Metropole.
Wanting to get out of here before the LSD hit him full on, Frank quickly totaled up the cash register, checked it against the beginning balance and put the numbers on Betty's daily income sheet. Next step was to put the night's profits in a bank bag along with the form and bring it downstairs to Tom Meagher, manager of the Underground Lounge, the meat market on the lower level.
Frank got his jacket from the wall hook and went down the stairs. Going through the glass-paneled doors into the Underground, he noticed that the blue and red stage lights were still on and it was starting to look very weird in here. The bar was empty but yellow light was slipping under the door of the office in back. Frank went back there and found Meagher and Burt Oberst sitting on chrome-and-plastic chairs holding Michelob bottles, a small pile of white powder on top of the green metal desk. Meagher said, "Hey, Frank, care for a toot? You look like you could use one."
"No thanks, Tom, I'll pass. One is too many and a thousand not enough with that shit." Frank set the bank sack on the desk as far from the powder as possible. "Will have a beer, though," he said, eyeing the torn-open twelve-pack of Michelob on the floor by the desk.
"Knock yourself out, man," Meagher said. "Busy upstairs tonight?"
"Pretty much. 'Nother pile of money for Betty's retirement fund."
"That old hag'll never retire," Oberst, the Underground's other bartender, said. "She'll keep working until she falls the fuck over, long as the place is turning a profit."
"I don't know about that," Frank said. "She's worried about these new dram-shop laws they're talking about. They say they're going to hold the bars responsible if one of their customers gets drunk and plows into someone on the way home. Betty claims the insurance rates are going to skyrocket and the DWI fines are gonna rise with 'em. She seems to think it'll be the death knell for places like this." Frank leaned over and plucked a Michelob from the pack on the floor, twisted the top, sailed the cap into the wastebasket next to the desk and had a swallow, feeling something strange happening in his neck now.
"Betty's an old lady," Meagher said. "Old ladies worry about shit all the time. Doesn't mean it will come true. And if it does, it's not like we're losing the golden-egg-laying goose."
Frank knew that was true but still had a thread of unease in his stomach thinking about changing jobs. Getting set in his ways. Not good. Too soon for that. "Nah, you're right, Tom," Frank said, "but not many bosses out there are as easy as Betty to get along with, either. Look at the shit she lets Sack get away with."
Oberst said, "I hear that, man. Sack her goddamn nephew or what?"
"Nah, I don't think so," Frank said. "I don't know why she puts up with him. Feels sorry for the bastard, I guess."
"Wouldn't let me get away with that shit," Meagher said. "I'd be on the street in a heartbeat. Fuckin' Sack must be on his fifth last chance by now."
"No shit," Frank said. "I had to come in tonight because of that asshole. On the day of my brother's fuckin' funeral."
Meagher looked down at the floor. "Sorry about your brother, Frank. Ray had a hard time of it, man. It's a sad deal."
"Yeah, sorry, Frank," Oberst said.
"Thanks, Tom, Burt," Frank said. "You and my mother must think alike, Tom. She's always saying, 'Ray had a hard time of it.' And it's true, I'm not arguing that, but Ray brought most of it on himself. I don't believe he killed himself though. You guys heard any rumblings?"
Meagher said, "Kevin Andrews told me Artie Autry and the Doughboy were with your brother at the Paul Bunyan on the day Ray was last seen. He said Autry and Ray were arguing but Ray left before anything physical started up. Also said the cops came to the Bunyan to ask him about it."
"The Bunyan is one of the few downtown bars that would still let Ray in," Frank said. "He was probably afraid to lose his privileges. Kevin, say anything about Ray's physical condition? Bruised up or anything like that?"
"No, man, nothing," Meagher said.

Autophagy — How Your Body Detoxifies and Repairs Itself
March 11, 2016 by Dr. Mercola
While there are many different ways to rid your body of accumulated toxins, from detoxifying foods and chemical and/or natural detox agents to saunas, a biological process known as autophagy plays a key role.
The term autophagy means "self-eating," and refers to the processes by which your body cleans out various debris, including toxins, and recycles damaged cell components.
This video link provides a more in-depth biochemical review of the autophagy processes involved in health and disease. As explained in layman's terms by Greatist:1
"Your cells create membranes that hunt out scraps of dead, diseased, or worn-out cells; gobble them up; strip 'em for parts; and use the resulting molecules for energy or to make new cell parts."
Dr. Colin Champ, a board-certified radiation oncologist and assistant professor at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center explains it thus:
"Think of it as our body's innate recycling program. Autophagy makes us more efficient machines to get rid of faulty parts, stop cancerous growths, and stop metabolic dysfunction like obesity and diabetes."
By boosting your body's autophagy process, you dampen inflammation, slow down the aging process, and optimize biological function. As noted by Fight Aging:2
"Greater autophagy taking place in tissue should mean fewer damaged and disarrayed cells at any given moment in time, which in turn should translate to a longer-lasting organism."
Boosting Autophagy Through Exercise
Like the benefits of exercise, autophagy occurs in response to stress. And, in fact, exercise is one of the ways by which you boost autophagy. As you probably know, exercising creates mild damage to your muscles and tissues that your body then repairs, and by so doing makes your body stronger.
Exercise also helps flush out toxins by sweating, and is helpful for just about any detox program. In fact, many consider exercise a foundational aspect of effective detoxification.
Dr. George Yu, for example, who has been involved with clinical trials to help detoxify people from the Gulf War, recommends using a combination of exercise, sauna, and niacin supplementation to maximize elimination of toxins through your skin.
Exercise is an important component as it also causes vasodilation and increased blood flow. Beyond that, as noted in the featured article:
"One study looked at autophagosomes, structures that form around the pieces of cells that the body has decided to recycle.
After engineering mice to have glowing green autophagosomes ... scientists found that the rate at which the mice were healthily demolishing their own cells drastically increased after they ran for 30 minutes on a treadmill.
The rate continued increasing until they'd been running for 80 minutes."
How Much Exercise Do You Need to Optimize Autophagy?
The amount of exercise required to stimulate autophagy in humans is still unknown, however it is believed that intense exercise is more effective than mild exercise, which certainly makes logical sense.
That said, other research has shown that the "Goldilocks zone" in which exercise produces the greatest benefit for longevity is between 150 to 450 minutes of moderate exercise per week, lowering your risk of early death by 31 and 39 percent respectively.
Spending at least 30 percent of your workout on high-intensity exercises has also been shown to further boost longevity by about 13 percent, compared to exercising at a consistently moderate pace all the time.
Following these general guidelines will likely put you in the most advantageous position for maximizing autophagy as well.
How to Radically Inhibit Autophagy
One of the quickest ways to shut down autophagy is to eat large amounts of protein. What this will do is stimulate IGF-1 and mTOR, which are potent inhibitors of autophagy.
That is why it's best to limit your protein to about 40 to 70 grams per day, depending on your lean body mass. The specific formula is one gram of protein for every kilogram of lean body mass, or one-half gram of protein per pound of lean body mass.
Substantial amounts of protein can be found in meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Some vegetables also contain generous amounts of protein — for example, broccoli. Forty grams of protein is not a large amount of food — it's the equivalent of one six-ounce chicken breast.
To determine whether or not you're getting too much protein, simply calculate your body's requirement based on your lean body mass, and write down everything you eat for a few days. Then calculate the amount of daily protein you've consumed from all sources.
If you're currently averaging a lot more than what is optimal, adjust downward accordingly. The following provides a quick overview of how much protein is in various foods.
- Red meat, pork, poultry, and seafood average 6 to 9 grams of protein per ounce.
- An ideal amount for most people would be a 3-ounce serving of meat or seafood (not 9- or 12-ounce steaks!), which will provide about 18 to 27 grams of protein
- Seeds and nuts contain on average 4 to 8 grams of protein per quarter cup
- Cooked grains average 5 to 7 grams per cup
- Eggs contain about 6 to 8 grams of protein per egg. So an omelet made from two eggs would give you about 12 to 16 grams of protein
- If you add cheese, you need to calculate that protein in as well (check the label of your cheese)
- Cooked beans average about 7 to 8 grams per half cup
- Most vegetables contain about 1 to 2 grams of protein per ounce

Want to improve your BlackBerry's battery life? Then first you'll need to understand which features and functions drain the power. Here's our seven tips to making your smartphone last longer.
1. Be prepared
The Boy Scouts were really on to something with the whole 'Be Prepared' thing.
This sentiment sums up the whole practice of maximising your BlackBerry battery life, because if you're always prepared from what's coming next, you're a hell of a lot more likely to have a charged up BlackBerry battery to accompany you to whatever that task may be.
First on the list of preparations: a BlackBerry travel charger. I'd rather leave my home without my credit card than my spare BlackBerry charger.
In fact, I have one spare charger in my car, two more at my home and work desks, another in my laptop bag and one more beside my bedside, so my device is always 'fresh' when I wake every morning.
Next up: Spare batteries. I currently own four compatible batteries for my BlackBerry Bold 9700 - it certainly didn't hurt that the BlackBerry 9700 employs the same battery as the Bold 9000, my last device.
I carry two fully-charged batteries in my laptop bag, one in my vehicle and another spare is sitting in a home-office desk drawer as I write this. And two of those batteries are extended power-packs from smartphone-accessory-maker, Seidio.
I also have BlackBerry charge pods on both my desks, which are meant for convenience, but they've quickly become one of my favourite BlackBerry add-ons.
The charge pods are simple cradles you plug into a wall outlet or USB port on your computer and then just drop in your device whenever it needs power.
The point of all this: I keep a spare battery and a charger in all of the places where I'm most likely to need them if my current battery runs out. And you should too.
BlackBerry batteries really aren't expensive, especially if you're using an older handheld - neither are chargers. And the £15 or so you'll need to drop to pick one up will seem well worth it when you actually need a replacement battery.
I usually go to Amazon for my BlackBerry battery needs.
It's also a very good habit to charge your device whenever possible, even if you still have 50 percent or more battery-life left.
I'm more likely to charge my device while working using one of the above-mentioned pods, because I've become used to seeing the digital clock that displays once my device is placed in the cradle. This helps me to remember to charge frequently.

When many people think of fatal accidents, they often think of distracted drivers on their phones or impaired drivers. Drunk driving doubles the chance of having a car accident – and surprisingly, so does drowsy driving.
An Australian study found that a driver who's been awake for 18 hours has the equivalent of a .05 BAC, and a .10 BAC if they haven't slept for 24 hours. The Archives of Internal Medicine produced a study that showed drunk drivers and fatigued drivers are equally as likely to be in an accident, which is twice as likely as a sober, awake driver.
The dangerous effects of drowsy driving
When a driver doesn't sleep enough or is living with an untreated sleep disorder, they can fall asleep at the wheel. A study found that about 1 in 25 drivers 18 years of age and older reported that they had fallen asleep while driving in the past month. But it's not just falling asleep at the wheel that's the danger: being drowsy diminishes your attention span, makes your reaction time significantly longer and affects your ability to make smart and safe decisions.
Drowsy driving makes up between 10 and 30 percent of auto accidents – the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimated that it caused 1,550 fatalities, injured 71,000 people and costs a total of $12.5 billion.
Not only can a drowsy driver end up in jail for hurting another person in an accident, but a victim's family can also be awarded multi-million dollar settlement for the drowsy driver's deadly mistake.
Common risk factors
About 70 percent of Americans have a sleep disorder, which makes them more likely to be drowsy during waking hours behind the wheel – drivers with sleep apnea that isn't properly treated can make them more likely to nod off while driving. Other people who work night or long shifts, like commercial drivers, are also more likely to lack restful sleep. People between the ages of 18 and 29 are the most likely to drive without adequate sleep, and most at risk are young males.
Preventing a deadly behavior
What can you do to prevent a drowsy driving accident? The CDC offers several tips, including:
- Adults need at least 7 hours of restful sleep a night to not feel overly tired, and teens need at least 8.
- Don't drink alcohol or take medicines that make you drowsy before you need to drive – always check medication labels.
- Talk to your doctor if you have sleep issues, like snoring or serious fatigue during waking hours.
- Find and stick to a sleep schedule that helps keep you rested and alert during the day.
Warning signs that a person is too tired to drive include yawning and blinking often, inability to remember parts of the trip, missing signs and exits, inability to stay in their lane and crossing over a rumble strip on the side of the road.
If you ever feel like you're too tired to keep driving, pull over as soon as you can to take a nap or change drivers.

Its never a good thing when a team and player can't manage to combine for the common good. Sometimes the player is a misfit, other times the teams flat fail to appreciate the talent of a player and put him in a role that bars him from success. Other cases are just a mismatch of player and system. Whatever the cause, there are several NHL players who could do so much better elsewhere.
Ryan Johansen – Columbus Blue Jackets
The Story:
Ryan Johansen and The Columbus Blue Jackets are in the end stages of a protracted, bitter, and public dispute over exactly what Johansen is worth for his second contract. Management is arguing that with only one season of notable performance he should take a more modest contract to prove last years 33-30-63 season wasn't a fluke. The 22 year is likely pointing at other players with similar levels of success, who likely had more years with better rosters around them.
The most popular example is Ryan O'Reilly who in the final year of his entry level deal put up 18-37-55 in 81 games for the Colorado Avalanche. O'Reilly was rewarded with a contract worth $3.5m in year one and $6.5m for an average annual value of $5m. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is another comparable, who ended up with a big contract with similar but lesser production. You can look at Tyler Seguin and Jeff Skinner as well, in the third year out of juniors Johansen was more productive or healthier than most of the comparables, in some cases both.
Evander Kane – The Winnipeg Jets
The Story:
Kane has more goals in the last three seasons than any other Jets player, one of those seasons included a coaching change in season. He's played under four different coaches in five seasons; John Anderson, Craig Ramsay, Claude Noel, and Paul Maurice, given how different those coaches are in temperament, experience, and style it would be hard to fault Kane if he wondered if management and or ownership had a clue and a plan. Kane is a rugged winger (drafted center) who has played in all situations and even contributed shorthanded goals. He hits, blocks shots, and has averaged over twenty minutes a night the last two seasons, yet he's still treated as some sort of leper by the team.
If some or even most of what is said about him off ice is true maybe they are just sick of dealing with that. No matter what the cause, Evander Kane trade rumors are frequent enough to not be news and he's only entering his sixth year.
Mark Giordano – Calgary Flames
The Story:
Giordano is one of the rising stars of the NHL. On a pretty bad team last year, he none the less was voted one of the best NHL defensemen by the writers of NHL.com this year. With a very friendly salary of just over four million this year and next, he can be moved for a considerable return to a team like Philadelphia or the Islanders who want to win soon. Giordano is 31 which is not old for a defenseman, but it is highly doubtful he'll still be near peak if and when the Flames acquire enough talent to be a contending team. Better still, with less wins and more picks, they stand a better shot at getting not only good building blocks, but someone at the top end of the next NHL draft.
Reilly Smith – Boston Bruins
The Story:
Reilly Smith is part of the return for the trade that sent Rich Peverley and Tyler Seguin to the Dallas Stars. He came in last year and cemented Seguin's old spot on Patrice Bergeron's line, and proved himself a good and willing passer and a goal scorer. With the cap crunch and a stagnating pool of NHL ready talent in the AHL, the Bruins have had little room and less inclination to sign him when cheaper options are at hand. Even if Smith is asking for a more than reasonable $2.25m, the team is likely to see him as replaceable and should part with him as soon as possible for as much as they can get.

Join Ride with GPS and discover even more new routes and riding buddies. Print turn-by-turn cue sheets so you know where you are heading. And then, log your rides and watch your progress.
Twelve follow me out of Uxbridge for Sunday's long ride: Phil Hallewell, Bob Morgan, Geoff Clegg, Cliff Jones, Graham Orford, Iain MacDonald, John MacMillan, Sandra and Alan Gladwin, Lilo Bleasdale, Alan Potter and Tony Hopkins.
We head over the M25 to Iver, losing Alan G on the way, (he wants to try out his new "Fat Bike" along Coppins Lane.) The rest of us continue through Love Green and Trenches, past Stoke Poges to our coffee stop at South Bucks golf club. Surprisingly there is no Dave Peck to greet us. He must have changed his mind. After refreshments, we head off through Burnham, turning north past Cliveden and Littleworth Common, to our lunch stop at The White Hart, Beaconsfield.
We manage to bag a couple of adjacent tables, but it's still a squeeze to accommodate everyone. The service is good and the portions generous. Keeping everything on our plates with limited elbow room demands real skill, but most of us manage it. Afterwards our journey continues past Seer Green and Chalfont St Giles. The majority of us turn right at Milton's Cottage and continue south through Chalfont Grove. We are reunited with those that didn't, at Jungs cafe, Gerrards Cross.
By the time we reach Denham I have lost most of my troop. This time it is not carelessness on my part. Just three of us take the scenic route through the golf course and onwards to Uxbridge.

site location: Welcome
" Oh for a book, and a cozy nook! And oh! For a quiet hour..." Anonymous
Don't bother to knock, just turn the knob and come on in and visit awhile.
Go ahead, make yourself a cup of tea, kick off your shoes and be comfortable. Take your time. Enjoy your stay.
If this is your first visit with us let me show you around and introduce you to our book family. I'm Ruth Kern and have owned this business for 14 years now. Who knew fourteen years ago this business would be on the web? I didn't even know how to use a computer back then. But I did do needlework and loved books and even wrote (been published in short stories and in magazines). I dreamed of doing my own business. Since it was too hard to make a choice between the things I loved, I decided to do all three. So here I am all these years later still excited about books, needlework and writing. Who says dreams can't come true!
Now I'd like to introduce you to the shop manager, Donna Gonzales, my right arm (and best of all, my daughter). If you are e-mailing us or sending in an order or tracking one, Donna will be there to help you as she has been for over eight years. She also makes up the orders, keeps records and is a great idea person. When it comes to children's books she knows her stuff and has served on her daughter, Brianna's, school book fair committee for several years now. I'd love to clone her!
Next, meet our resident postman, my husband, Mark Rogness. No, he doesn't do needlework but wraps all the books and delivers them to the post office where he works on a daily basis. For the past ten years we've traveled all over the country together to set up book shops at needlework seminars. Luckily, he loves to travel to these events and really enjoys the juried needlework exhibits, the fun atmosphere and the people he meets. He never travels without a book to read with his main interests being cartography, history and gold prospecting.
Oh, yes, this is Pam White, our designer for brochures, ads and our newsletter for over eight years now. She is also a needleworker and loves books. By the way, she not only has a degree in design but has a Masters Degree in Educational Counseling and is a Life Coach (and is our business coach). Don't know what a life coach is? Just visit her web site:
. Can't imagine not having a life coach for my business.
And last but certainly not least, meet Dave Narang, our web master. In his "other life", he works for APS, our local utility company, doing, guess what? Computers of course! He is teaching us new things all the time. Thank goodness he's patient and has a good sense of humor! Dave has a children's book in the works I'm crazy about. Along with his parents he's lived in Pakistan, Malta, Egypt (where I originally met him) and of course the United States. His parents own Maqbool's Boutique in Glendale, AZ, a town known for its shops and antique stores and their line of exotic, unique gifts from around the world on:
Now that you've met us, let me show you around the shop. I'm sure you're visiting us because you love good books. So do we. We carefully select our titles, whether they be needlework books, mysteries (I get many requests for these from needleworkers), children's books and even pop-ups (I've been collecting for years) -and since lots of needlework groups do teas and we serve tea at our shop, we also carry tea books. If you don't see the book you need, please ask. We have a great track record of finding titles including those that are out-of-print. If you have a favorite we don't carry, we'd love to learn about it. When we set up shops at needlework seminars the book feedback we get from teachers, designers, needleworkers, authors and requesters is incredible! That's a big help in selecting books.
Want an easy way to learn about new needlework titles, history, design, color, authors, creativity, motivation? We've been publishing The Needle News for eight years now that does just that. It is a great tool to help unlock that door to the mysterious room in your brain full of ideas you didn't even know existed there; a room where you can create, design, see the world in a new way, get inspired by others and meet new authors. Why snail mail instead of an electronic version? We are hands on, we love paper books, let's sit down and read away from the computer, kind of people. A total paper- less society is not our idea of heaven. Besides's so portable! Take to work to read during lunch. Throw it in a suitcase to take on a trip. Mark it out for later reference. It is 3-ring binder ready too. Like to see a copy? No problem! We'll mail you an issue free of charge. If you decide to become a member of our book family and subscribe you receive 20% off on any books you order. For more information visit The Needle News on our website.
As you can see, we believe in service. We might be faceless on the web but we are behind the scenes pulling the levers. We are not only user-friendly, we are people- friendly! If you need help with a book selection or prefer to order by phone just give us a call. We do have a message machine but ONLY for off-hours and when we are taking another call. The rest of the time it will be either Donna or I who answers. Yes, we call back or e-mail as soon as possible. We really do! We'd love to get to know you. If you happen to get to Phoenix, Arizona call us and invite yourself over for a visit and to browse. We'll put the kettle on.
We will constantly be growing and changing this site. Suggestions or comments are welcomed. Now have fun browsing.

Problem with tiny_mce popup
5 posts by 2 authors in: Forums > CMS Builder
Last Post: October 20, 2014 (RSS)
By kovali - October 18, 2014
After upgrading to version 2.62 I get a strange popup in Tiny_mce when clicking the image/video/anchor icons, please see the attached screendump...
Everything works fine but the normal text in the popup window seems to be replaced with code... ?? Any ideas anyone ??
Hi Koen,
I've not seen that issue before, so I'll need to take a closer look into what's causing it. Would it be possible to fill in a second level support request:
Then I can log in to your CMSB installation and see what could be causing it.

Okay Greg, done, thanks in advance...
Hi Koen,
I've replied to you on the support ticket, but thought I'd also post the solution in here for anyone else who has the same problem.
The site was using the Dutch language option, when the site was upgraded this information was lost. I switched the site language from Dutch to English, then back to Dutch, and this seemed to resolve the issue.

Happy Mother's Day to all Hockey Moms!
With Mother's Day just around the corner, we wanted to take a minute to recognize the most under-rated position in hockey–Hockey Moms!
Thank you to all the special women who have earned the title Hockey Mom. You are a very special breed. You are vital to our game. Thank you for all you do, and Happy Mother's Day.
Hockey Mom Blogs
We wanted to highlight a couple of Hockey Moms who share their stories and provide advice, encouragement, an occasional recipe, and a healthy dose of humor.
Emily Erson and Sharon Enck write about the crazy inner-workings of youth and minor hockey. For Mothers Day, we wanted to feature some hockey moms who share their experience. Emily and Sharon are two of the best!
On the Job Mom
Emily's blog is On the Job Mom. She is a full-time coffee-charged hockey mom, writer, blogger, and dog-lover. She moonlights, during the day, teaching middle school English. Sarcasm and a great heart are at the core of everything Emily does for On the Job Mom. You will get some great insights and a laugh or two. Some of our favorites are the Hockey Puck Cookie Recipe, Hockey Rules for Hockey Moms, and A Letter from the Coach's Wife.
Puck Gal
Sharon writes on Puck Gal. She is a freelance writer when she is not rushing from Rink-to-Rink, collecting humorous stories. Not only is she a Hockey Mom, she is a Goalie Mom! In addition to her own work on Puck Gal, she hosts Hockey Mom Book of the Month Club, Movie of the Month Club, and Movie Camp. She also has links to some of her other work. Some of our Puck Gal favorites include Goalie Moms and Superstitions, Sh*t Goalie Moms Never Say, and 8 Reasons to Love a New Hockey Season.
We love their blogs, and read them on a regular basis. We think you may too. Check them out, have a laugh, try a new recipe or book, and see how many times you are nodding in agreement with them!

In the market for an iPhone? Here's a breakdown of all the currently shipping iPhones from Apple.
Apple Working on Fix for Bug Causing iPhone X Display to Become Temporarily Unresponsive in Cold Weather
Users on both reddit and the MacRumors forums have noticed that their iPhones immediately refuse to recognize some touch input when exposed to cool outdoor temperatures. As it turns out, there is a software bug causing the issue, which Apple says will be addressed in an upcoming update. From a statement to The Loop:
"We are aware of instances where the iPhone X screen will become temporarily unresponsive to touch after a rapid change to a cold environment. After several seconds the screen will become fully responsive again. This will be addressed in an upcoming software update."Apple says its iOS devices operate best between temperatures of 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F), but some of the people who are experiencing issues have seen display problems within these temperature parameters. Reddit user darus214, for example, had his iPhone X act up when it was 45 to 50ºF outside.
I've noticed that my iPhone X screen becomes very unresponsive as soon as I step outside. It literally takes 2 seconds from going inside to the cold outdoors and my screen stops being very responsive. I try swiping on websites and it doesn't register my finger. It's very noticeable. Is anyone else having this problem?Not all iPhone X users are experiencing problems with the display in cold weather, and those that are see the problem occur as soon as cold exposure happens rather than after a period of time, which does indeed suggest a software issue. Most affected users have said that the problem clears up after a few minutes. From the MacRumors forums:
I have a space gray 256gb iPhone X and I really like the phone, except...It's not clear when Apple will fix the cold weather bug, but a fix could come in iOS 11.2, which is currently in beta testing. Apple this morning released iOS 11.1.1, an update that addresses an autocorrect bug that caused "i" to correct to "A[?]" on some devices.
I live in Finland and here is cold (-30-5°C) about 6 to 7 months in a year. Yesterday I noticed that when I'm outside and temperature hits about -1°C (~30°F) my iPhone X's display becomes working incorrectly. Some touches aren't recognized and some are not accurate at all. Problem solves itself after about 3-5 minutes of use, or when I go back indoors.
This is driving me crazy. Anyone else having this kind of problem with the phone?

Please, no coldgate posts.. New hardware, you have to expect bugs..For a $1,579 device over here in Aus, no you should not expect bugs!!
I can't wait to hear how this is a software issue. (seriously the phone doesn't have a temperature sensor so how does it know?)All iOS devices have temperature sensors.
I can't wait to hear how this is a software issue. (seriously the phone doesn't have a temperature sensor so how does it know?)So when your phone overheats, displays a warning, and even shuts down, it's just guessing?
yes, but a sensor that tells the screen to misbehave when it gets too cold?Yes, it has to do with the capacitive touch controller which recognizes the electrical current in your finger as a touch. The threshold changes based on temperature. Just needs proper calibrating.
Please, no coldgate posts.. New hardware, you have to expect bugs..Even after paying 1000$?? Would you tolerate that if you new TV did that or Playstation/Xbox did that?
Seriously the phone doesn't have a true temperature sensor (not counting the CPU thermal sensor) so how does it know?
I can't wait to hear how this is a software issue. (seriously the phone doesn't have a temperature sensor so how does it know?)
Probably touch sensor calibration.. So yes, software fix..
