I Think I'd get one....
I Think I'd get one....
I once saved a man in Wichita just to watch him dive...(inventor)
Interesting piece of kit. From the video, I think the slide does not operate from the recoil, so you have to hand operate it. I was worried about leaving brass casings scattered around. And MythBusters did an episode about bullets underwater. If I remember correctly, even a .50 cal round lost all its punch within a very few feet (10' ?) so you would still need to get in close.
And on the eighth day, God said, "OK, Murphy, you take over"

Let's face it, accidents happen. And when performing under the bright lights, surrounded by distractions and the roar of a crowd, sometimes things go wrong. Equipment fails, sound crackles and sometimes artists find themselves in unusual predicaments (like in the audience).
With jaws hanging in suspense, here are 10 of the best videos of country artists falling on (and off) the stage.
10. Luke Bryan and the Stage Have a Love/Hate Relationship
His first appearance on the list, Luke Bryan might want to install safety nets around the stage.
9. Thomas Rhett Gets By with a Little Help from the Fans
The "Give Me Some of That" singer was all smiles, spending genuine time with the fans during his spill in Charlottesville, Va.
8. Tyler Farr goes faces first in Glen Allen, Va.
The sound is enough to make you cringe when he makes impact.
7. Justin Moore brings irony to his show in Springfield
The Arkansas native loses his balance after trying to get the crowd on their feet.
6. Jake Owen takes a 'Little Ride' during monster hit
Jake Owen displayed his superior flexibility after tripping on some gear back in 2010.
5. Luke Bryan works on his disappearing act (again)
Apparently the stage couldn't hold Luke, as this was his second time falling off-stage in the Tar Heel State
4. Randy Houser takes it tush over tea kettle
An unknown (and long haired) Randy Houser gave fans a spectacle, tripping backwards over a sound system while performing with Gary Allan.
3. Keith Urban's enthusiasm sends him sliding
Keith Urban's charisma may have gotten him in to a bit of trouble, falling off stage as he tried to interact with the crowd.
2. Brad Paisley becomes one with his guitar in South Carolina
Brad Paisley had one of the nastiest falls ever, face-planting on top of his guitar.
1. Dierks Bentley Can't Hold It Steady in Nashville
"The Riser" singer must have had a bit too much fun, stumbling while rocking NHL All-Star weekend.

Imagine a world where devices are much more intelligent than the human beings. What this kind of a world would look like? What we humans will do when electronic devices (enabled with Internet of Things) will outperform us. Would we feel happy enough for getting such a luxury? Or it will be the other way around? You will be shocked to know that we have already moved forward to such developments.
The IoT is that celebrated technique that we are talking about. It is only because of Internet of Things that we are able to remain connected 24*7. With the help of this technology, today startups are able to offer data integration services to their clients. IoT in the mobile app development regime is expanding like anything. And, it is not hard to explain the reason behind the same. IoT is an amazing technology that has got a great future in regards to the smartphone development.
Internet of Things in Our Daily Lives
Right from networking chips to small sensors and to the light bulbs, the use of IoT is continually rising in all such devices. Additionally, related industries are making an increased use of this technology in devices such as smartwatches and industrial equipments. The human desire to remain connected to the devices has given more exposure to the Internet of Things.
IoT holds a great future as connected "things" send and receive signals through a network. Physical and Digital world is now merging through exceptional IoT and this technology is expected to earn nearly $11 trillion a year by 2025. Now people are more focused on buying connected device for their homes, which in turn is sure to add on to the revenue of IoT.
The Scope of Apps With IoT
Internet of Things enabled applications can do anything and thus the scope of developing apps with this specific technique is enormous. The apps can be used for controlling home appliances remotely, getting meteorological data as weather forecast or establishing a communication with the manufacturer of devices even from any other location. The distance doesn't matter when you are utilizing IoT enabled applications.
The "things" in internet of things are probably the most important elements. These things or the devices have processors, their own operating systems and communication protocol to leverage easy data integration from a device to another. These devices may connect to the internet directly or through indirect ways. The next important thing that holds importance in an Internet of Things connection is software and use of cloud technology.
Software running on the system is responsible for managing the flow of data and updating wireframes when required. The next important element in tier is analytics. The process includes taking the data and analyzing the same. Finally, it is the end user tier wherein the users interact with the application. The application may range from an enterprise app to a mobile application and to a web app as well.
In IoT app development, the last two tiers are the most important wherein the mobile app development phase should be done with exceptional strategies. The tools for developing the app, the strategy for developing wireframing and the use of the latest technology is sure to add more to the overall development results.
The Conclusion
Greater number of companies are investing in rewarding Internet of Things technology. As the internet connectivity is growing every single day, more and more consumers are likely to buy connected devices as their home appliances. On developer's part, it is an exceptional opportunity for them to create engaging applications for the users in order to earn increased app revenues.

Jaber Ahmed
Since the fall of the Shah's regime, the Ahwazis have experienced successive uprisings in their struggle to regain their national rights. The regime of the Republic of Iran, under vague pretexts has refrained from dealing with the issue of the Ahwazi Arab people in general and the Iranian nationalities as a whole. And even refrained from applying the articles of the Iranian constitution, which deals with some of its articles shyly in regards to issue of nationalities in Iran.
If we take a quick look at the Iranian map, whether in the past or the present, it can be made apparent that Iran has long been a multi-national country and the connection of these nationalities to the center is weakening in terms of the power of the central state authority.
It can be said that the nationalities living in Iran at that time had a kind of autonomy. The constitutional revolution of 1906 attempted to promote this constitutional independence, being aware of national diversity.
Therefore, the so-called "states and provinces" system was introduced, namely the system of regions and provinces. Iran was defined as a group of kingdoms, not a single kingdom. Therefore, we find that this revolution received material and moral support from all peoples in Iran, and was supported by Sheikh Khazal bin Sheikh Jaber Amir of the province of Arabistan at the time.
Perhaps this disregard of the national issue, whether in the era of the Pahlavi family or in the era of the Islamic Republic, is due to the nature of the establishment of the Iranian state, which was associated with its birth by the so-called "nation-state". A nation -state that is based on principals such as the Aryan race, Persian ancient history, Safavids Shiism, Farsi language, expansion, anti Arab and anti Islam sentiments. However the historical evidence proofs that Iran is and never was a country with one ethnicity and one language .
Moreover, in the case of this artificial state, nationalities in Iran have not been only subjected to national oppression but some have also been subjected to religious persecution, as in the case of the Kurds, Turkomans and Baloch who are Sunni Muslims.
This is what Mustafa Taj Zad pointed out: "The era of the Pahlavi, known as the "Iranian spirit" is itself carries racist tendencies toward Arab,Turk,Kurd and Baluch in favore of of (Persian) oppression which makes this spirit a racist spirit par excellence. "
From this historical perspective, the Iranian sociologist, Mr. Nasser Fakouhi, also addresses this issue. "The emergence of the nation-state phenomenon in Iran based on the principle of nation-state, which was based on myths, has caused a lot of damage to the future of the country because it was exploited by a group of racist Persian nationalists who considered that Iran and contrary to the realities of history is a country consisting of one nationality and one language […]."
Without excluding the uprisings of Ahwazi Arabs in rejection of the national oppression that occurred during the era of the Pahlavi regime, the era of the Islamic Republic has also witnessed several uprisings by Arabs against the regime of Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist (Wali -al faqih). Although the time and the reasons for the uprisings are different, one of the first and most important expressions of rejection of national oppressors of Arabs during Republic Islamic was the uprising of 1979 in the city of Muhammarah (Persianized Khoramshahr) which followed by the black Wednesday massacres of the 1985 .
This uprising was caused following an article published by one of the official Persian-language newspapers under the title " "The city of Ahwaz in the past and present," where this newspaper pours its anger on Ahwazi Arab people, ignoring their identity, history, traditions, culture and their existence on their land tens of thousands of years ago, describing them as a group of "kawli" nomads who emigrated from Arab countries and settled in "Arabistan (Persianized Khuzestan)
In early 2000's , the vast majority of Arab cities witnessed bloody clashes between Arab citizens and Iranian security forces in protest against the rigging of local elections by the regime's agents. In the same year, Abadan witnessed a major uprising in protest against the contamination of drinking water and the diversion of the Karun River and its people.
The uprising of April 15, 2005, known as the "Al-Ard" (land) uprising, which followed a document issued by the highest governmental source that stipulates changing the population demography of the Arab people and turning Arabs from majority to minority within 10 years time.
Last but not least, the current April uprising, which broke out two weeks ago, was called "Al Karama" uprising (dignity) . This was in response to the racist practices by the Iranian regime's broadcasting. The state television showed the presence of national regions in Iran and excluded the presence of Ahwaz Arabs people on the Iranian map through placing a doll wearing non Arab traditional costume.
This racist act which was broadcasted on national TV served as a match that ignited these uprisings. And this uprising similar to the previous is a continuation of rejection of Ahwazi Arabs for this regime
Following are some of the hallmarks of the latests protests :
-Since its inception, the uprising has emphasized that it is necessary to rely on the Ahwazi self-potentials because it was realized that both so- called "reformers" and "hardliners" are two sides of the same coin.
- Raised peaceful and public slogans that combine national oppression with social class oppression.
-Through our follow-up to the accuracy of the conduct of the demonstrations we see that these protests must have had leaders and committees to call and guide them. the uprising did not allow the opportunists to launch extremist slogans in order to give justification to strike and incite the Iranian public against it.
-For the first time, the demonstrations start from the heart of the city, ie the Ahwaz market. This means that the Arab movement Ahwazi shifted from the margin and periphery to the center.
-This uprising was able to attract, for the first time, large numbers of Ahwazi women and this was embodied in the framework of Ahwazi national unity and through the participation of large segments of the masses of our people with all their national forces in these demonstrations.
-It came in response to those who say that Ahwazi Arabs are still tribal people and has not yet developed a national identity.
-This uprising was able to distinguish friends from enemies of Ahwazi Arabs.
-Absence of the factor of fear, and perhaps the involvement of people of all ages is proof of this. It also united the voice of Ahwazi national forces at home and in diaspora.
- Shake the image of the moral and ideological system in front of Arab and Islamic public opinion.
has strengthened the confidence of our Ahwazi Arab people, and it has become a lesson to combat the struggle against the regime in Iran. This uprising is an extension of the comprehensive uprising that began at the beginning of the current year, which called for the overthrow of the regime.
-brought the voice of our Arab Ahwazi people to the Arab world as well as to the global decision-making circles and to the United Nations and the bodies emanating from them.
- The issue of the Ahwazi Arabs in the Western newspapers has been raised in the past as well as news bulletins in the most important international satellite channels.
-supported the consensus of nationalities in Iran and also the support of some leftist parties that issued statements through which they supported this uprising and condemned the practice of the brutal regime towards the Ahwazi Arab people. According to preliminary statistics, the number of detainees has reached 500 hundred so far which indicates the large number of participants in this uprising.
In conclusion, I would like to say that the criminal policies pursued by the regime of Wali -al faqih can not break the will of people to fight and continue to struggle until reaching their legitimate national rights, including the right to self-determination.

Cowboys comeback stuns Bills
AP Football Writer
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – Tony Romo is nothing if not resilient. And because he didn't let four interceptions in the first half, two returned for touchdowns, destroy his night, the Dallas Cowboys pulled off a stunning comeback victory.
The Cowboys scored nine points in the final 20 seconds Monday night, with Nick Folk's 53-yard field goal as time expired giving them an improbable 25-24 win over the Buffalo Bills.
Romo, after being intercepted five times and also losing a fumble, drove Dallas (5-0) 80 yards and hit Patrick Crayton with a 4-yard TD pass with 20 seconds remaining. The 2-point conversion try failed when Jabari Greer stripped Terrell Owens of the ball in the end zone.
But Nathan Jones recovered the onside kick and after two completions, Folk nailed his fourth field goal, shocking the sellout crowd that came to celebrate the first Monday night home game for Buffalo (1-4) in 13 years.
It was the second last-second loss on a field goal this season for the Bills; Denver did almost the same thing in the opener.
And the win kept the Cowboys as the NFC's only unbeaten team heading into a megamatchup with 5-0 New England next week in Texas Stadium.
This latest victory was one of the most incredible in the Cowboys' illustrious history. Buffalo made nearly all the big plays, including interceptions for TDs by George Wilson and Chris Kelsay and a 103-yard kickoff runback by Terence McGee.
In position to clinch it, Trent Edwards' pass from the Dallas 11 was tipped by DeMarcus Ware and returned 70 yards by Terence Newman. Romo looked for tight end Jason Witten, his favorite receiver. Instead, he found linebacker John DiGiorgio at the goal line and DiGiorgio returned his first career pickoff 38 yards.
It was the third time a pass intended for Witten was stolen by Buffalo.
Yet the Cowboys didn't go away. And after their long drive to Crayton's touchdown, Sam Hurd deflected the onside kick ahead to Jones.
Immediately, Romo hit Owens, but he couldn't hold onto a 20-yard pass to the Buffalo 25; officials needed a replay review to overturn the original call.
Romo completed two more passes and Folk, after having his first try from 53 yards negated by a Bills timeout, won it.
Folk also made field goals of 47, 29 and 37 yards.

The recent financial crisis and economic downturn have been uniquely bad for state and local governments. And this is bad news since state and local governments account for a huge part of the economy. Nora Fitzpatrick, Andrew Haughwout, and Elizabeth Setren of The New York Fed's Liberty Street Economics write:
State and local governments are a very important part of the U.S. economy. The sector employs nearly 20 million people, accounting for about one in seven U.S. nonfarm jobs and more than the manufacturing and construction sectors combined. Almost three-quarters of these jobs are in local government.
According to the Liberty Street Economics, property taxes and intergovernmental transfers account for upwards of 70 per cent of local government revenue.
Those property taxes have cratered due to the housing crisis and Federal aid has declined dramatically since the stimulus ended.
The centre for Budget and Policy Priorities estimates that states alone had to deal with more than $430 billion in budget shortfalls between 2009 and 2011 to comply with balanced budget requirements. This has forced huge job and spending cuts, reducing GDP by an estimated 0.4 per cent in the first quarter of 2011.
This chart from Liberty Street's blog post shows how much worse this fiscal drag has been, even as the rest of the economy has shown growth.

Most people view influenza as a routine, if unpleasant, possibility each winter.
But the case of a 21-year-old man in Pennsylvania is a poignant reminder that sometimes, the worst-case scenario is more serious than sick days and bed rest.
Kyle Baughman, an aspiring personal trainer living in Latrobe, came home for Christmas not feeling well.
His symptoms persisted when returning to work after the the holidays.
Just a few days later, however, Kyle died at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Presbyterian hospital from flu-related organ failure, according to his family.
Why does the flu turn deadly?
Influenza can be a very serious illness.
Even though the vast majority of the public that comes down with actual influenza will get through it with Tylenol, fluids, Motrin, whatever, there are people who do get very sick.
Deadly cases are mostly limited to the very young, the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions, such as respiratory illnesses, but a very small percentage of otherwise healthy people do develop serious complications.
For some people with pneumonia, it will spread to their bloodstream and cause an overwhelming, multi-system infection.
While these cases are extremely infrequent, they can sometimes end in death,.
What should you do if you have the flu?
Don't try to ride it out yourself. Visit your primary care doctor or an urgent care clinic within 48 hours of developing telltale flu symptoms, including cough, fever, runny nose, sore throat and body aches.
A doctor can treat you with Tamiflu, an antiviral medication that can mitigate some symptoms and shorten the duration of the illness.
But if you're seeking treatment, don't go to the emergency room, where you'll run the risk of infecting others and exposing yourself to sicknesses potentially more severe than yours.
How can you tell if the flu is serious?
In most cases, flu symptoms will subside within three to seven days and are mild enough to be treated with over-the-counter painkillers, fluids and rest.
If you experience prolonged symptoms, or shortness of breath on par with what you'd feel during strenuous exercise, you should see your doctor to rule out complications.
Is it too late to get a flu shot?
Not at all. Its better now than never.
If you develop a bit of an immunity now, and you're exposed to it later on, it will protect you.
And while the flu shot isn't 100% effective, vaccinated people who still get sick will likely have less severe cases than those who never get vaccinated at all.

This is a golden opportunity to break out of a rut. When you treat yourself well, others will do the same. On the 15th, a Solar Eclipse could mark an unexpected change in your home life.

There's also a chance you could welcome a child or elderly relative into your home. Any addition to your household is destined to enhance it in a wonderful way.

PISCES (February20th-March20th)
Instead of having a lavish Valentine's Day at a public place, you will prefer a candlelit dinner for two at a quiet little restaurant. Don't be surprised if your amour gives you a lavish token of their affection. Are you single? You could meet someone special at a charitable organisation or spiritual group. Keep your eyes open for someone who is unusual and independent. The Solar Eclipse on the 15th is ideal for listening to your intuition. If you're unsure which direction to take, sneak off to a private hideaway and turn your attention inward. A small, assured voice will tell you what to do. It's also wise to pay careful attention to your dreams during the middle of February; they are urging you to take an untried path. Your charisma will be at an all-time high during the second half of the month. Make a sales pitch, ask for a date or request a favour.

Swimming laps is an effective cardiovascular exercise that can burn 500 or more calories per hour. Swimming develops strong muscles throughout the body, especially in the legs, hips, shoulders and back. Swimming also enhances your lung capacity more than other cardiovascular exercises due to the time between breaths. A few tricks to balance your work and rest times while swimming can help you burn even more calories.
Calories Burned
According to Diet & Fitness Today, the average woman, at 163 pounds, burns 581 calories in one hour of swimming if you are using the front crawl and alternating strokes with your arms and legs. If you use the butterfly stroke, where your arms and legs move together in an explosive motion, the average woman can burn 813 calories in an hour.
Change Intensity
Mark Schubert, head of the U.S. national swim team and seven-time Olympic coach, says you should aim to keep your heart rate at 80 percent of maximum throughout your workout. To estimate this number, subtract your age from 220 and multiply by 0.8. For example, if you are a 40-year-old woman, you would multiply 180 by 0.8 for a maximum heart rate of 144 beats per minute while swimming.
You may not be able to swim at a vigorous rate for an entire hour, but you can vary your intensity to keep your heart rate elevated. Many professional swimmers use a technique called ladders and pyramids, where you ramp the intensity or duration up and down. You should try to swim some of your laps as fast as possible.
If you spend more than 10 percent of your swim time resting, you're losing out on burning calories. Schubert recommends cutting your rest between intervals or laps to 10 seconds. You can alternate between swimming brisk and leisurely laps to avoid stopping altogether. If you find yourself short of breath, flip over and swim the backstroke for a few laps until you catch your breath.
Vary the Technique
Swimming back and forth in a pool using the same stroke at the same rate for an hour can become dull. Alternate laps between four main strokes: front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. You can use swim fins, hand paddles, kickboards or buoys that fit between your legs to rest or emphasize working your arms or legs.

|A magnificent antique-style floral necklace and earrings in 18K white gold set with a fragrant mix of pink, blue, green and yellow sapphires, green garnets and diamonds from Goldiaq Creation Ltd
Hong Kong's jewellery manufacturers are known for their skill in working with this precious metal and creating jewellery that dazzles and delights.
A typical Hong Kong manufacturer is Goldiaq Creation Ltd, whose innovative fashion-oriented or antique-style design concepts are appreciated by discerning jewellery connoisseurs.
Established in 1998, the company designs and manufactures a wide range of 14K and 18K gold and platinum jewellery. "The trend today is more toward multi-coloured pieces, but the white look is strong too," observes assistant manager Vanessa Yip.
She notes that favoured stones include sapphires, citrine, amethyst, blue topaz and peridot as well as diamonds. "Some centre stones can run as large as 60 carats," Yip adds. "One recent trend has been to combine large and small stones together."
The Goldiaq brand is carried on 90% of the 4,000-6,000 pieces the company manufactures each month at its factory in Shenzhen on the Chinese mainland, with the remainder ODM. "Our jewellery is priced from US$20-10,000 per piece FOB Hong Kong, but the most saleable range is US$200-3,000," Yip says.
Negotiable minimum orders are delivered to Goldiaq's three main export markets in Europe, the US and the Middle East 3-4 weeks after order confirmation.
Gold settings provide the major share of business for opal jewellery specialist Peershine Jewellery H.K. Ltd, whose collections include a full range of necklaces, earrings, brooches, bangles, bracelets and rings in 9-, 10-, 14- and 18K gold, sterling silver and 950 platinum.
The OEM/ODM firm produces 20,000 pieces per month in styles ranging from antique to modern at a 10,000-square-foot, 500-worker mainland factory in Guangzhou.
"Most of our jewellery is cast but some is handmade," says sales manager Feric Yu Kam Ming, adding that a "small amount" carries the firm's Opalus brand name.
A typical opal pendant with diamonds in 18K gold costs US$50 FOB Hong Kong, while 14K or 18K gold opal rings are US$500 each. Minimum quantities of 10 pieces per model or US$10,000 per order are delivered 30-40 days after order confirmation.
Peershine's opal creations have found ready markets in the US, Europe, Australia and Asia, Yu says. "Americans and Australians have a fondness for inlay, while Europeans prefer solid free-form opal and Asians are drawn to solid pieces and doublets," he notes. "The US likes 14K gold but in Europe, Asia and Australia the demand is for 18K gold."
Equally aware of market trends is Elegance Jewellery Int'l Ltd, which prides itself on offering diamond jewellery that reflects today's dynamic styles.
Known for its tri-colour white, yellow and rose gold settings, the company produces about 5,000 pieces per month at an 8,000-square-foot mainland factory that employs some 400 workers.
Karat-gold jewellery accounts for 95% of the company's business, with platinum 950 making up the remainder. "We mostly make 14K and 18K gold jewellery but we'll do 9K on request," marketing manager William Chan explains.
The company's new collection of diamond jewellery with a black agate background is popular, as are clusters of small diamonds, the majority of which are 25 points and under. "When a splash of colour is called for, we favour pink or blue sapphires, topaz, citrine and amethyst," Chan adds.
FOB Hong Kong prices range from US$350-5,000 per piece for minimum orders that depend on quantity, with delivery four weeks after order confirmation. "Our markets include the US, Japan, Europe and Southeast Asia," says Chan.
Half of the nine-year-old firm's business is ODM, with OEM and the company's EJI brand making up 25% each. "We plan to add cross cuts and lily cuts to our repertoire of round, princess and baguette cuts as we think the market is always looking for something different," Chan adds.
The Middle East is the main focus for Top Gold Int'l Ltd, following a reorganisation in 2004 that saw the 22-year-old firm change its name from Goldengoods Arts Co Ltd.
"We have offices in Dubai and Hong Kong," explains marketing manager Philip Kwan. "Our designs are mainly Middle Eastern in style, but we also produce European-style wedding rings with diamonds."
The company manufactures jewellery in 9-18K white, yellow, two-tone or rose gold, producing 100kg per month at its mainland factory in Guangzhou.
Kwan says Top Gold's pieces are generally set with CZ. "We're known for combining taper and round cuts," he claims, though the company also does a brisk business manufacturing three- and four-piece sets.
Normally, "white look" jewellery is the strongest seller, but Top Gold can substitute white CZ or diamonds with coloured gemstones or coloured CZ upon customer request.
Minimum order is 3kg, reflecting the long-standing Middle Eastern tradition of pricing jewellery by weight, though items for the European market sell for US$100-3,000 each FOB Hong Kong. "Shipments are on their way 3-4 weeks after order confirmation," Kwan insists.
Little wonder that the allure of gold never fades, no matter what the fashion, as its permanence and fabled shine remains as relevant today as it did in times past.

Unlikely as it may seem, Las Vegas is one of the world's top
rollercoaster destinations, with some of the fastest, biggest, and
most innovative rides.
Some of the best are atop the 1,149ft (350m) Stratosphere Tower,
the tallest freestanding observation tower in the United States and
the tallest building west of the Mississippi River. Thrill seekers
can enjoy excitement over 100 stories above the ground on four
exciting rides: Sky Jump, Big Shot Insanity and the X-Scream. The
latter should be experienced only by veteran rollercoaster fanatics
or those wearing adult-size diapers. There is also a revolving
restaurant at the top of the Stratosphere, which offers great views
but pretty average food. Best ride first, then eat.
The Sahara Casino and Hotel is home the Speed Ride, while Circus
Circus's Adventuredome has the Canyon Blaster - the only indoor
double-loop and double-corkscrew rollercoaster in the world - and
Chaos, a ride designed to offer a different experience each time.
New York, New York Hotel and Casino has the Manhattan Express,
another high quality ride that gets rave reviews from rollercoaster

FUDCon APAC 2015 – Summary
Juli 1st, 2015 von buergermeister
I was last week in Pune for FUDCon, so its time to write about the experiences.
Day -2
I had to start my travel 2 days before the event from airport Leipzig flying to Munich, well the travel to Leipzig and also the checkin and flight was without something to mention. Just one hour ride to Leipzig and 40 minutes flight to Munich. I had a long layover in Munich so I checked before the situation with WIFI and electricity, well Munich has free wifi and they even proudly anounced that the equipped the gate areas with power supply, well they was there but simple not working. With a little searching I found one which was working but there was nothing to sit there so I spent the time in EMEA Ambassadors meeting standing
Day -1
Also for that day there was no action, boarding the plane in the morning and leaving it in Mumbai in the night. The immigration process with the TVOA visa worked well, except to find the counter for them was difficult. So if you travel to India and eligible to get it, thats the easiest way.
Outside the airport Prima Yogi Loviniltra and a volunteer did already wait for me, just Ryan Lerch was missing but he joined as a few minutes later. So the fetch on the airport was well organized. The cab ride took some time but interesting conversations made that not feelable. So we arrived in the morning in Pune just enough for 3 hours sleep.
Day 0
I had not really time for a good breakfast but I needed one as I had not a dinner either, but Kushal was already standing there telling me I was to late. But I managed to grab something to eat even the waiter always removed my tools when I grabbed something. Also here the transport was well organized and the bus for bringing us to MIT was already waiting.
On the first day I joined a few sessions but I will write only something about the most important for me. We had a BoF session for the next APAC FUDCon. What I am worried about is the style which is coming up there, just finding some point why a thing not might be good instead of trying to find out how problems can be solved!
Day 1
I started the day with Jiri Eischmanns presentation about the Fedora workstation and his presence and future. I joined several other talks to, where I just want to mention the Achieving Community Goals With Fedora one from Tenzin Chokden, awesome job of Joerg Simon and Fabian Affolter and their l10n hackfest for the tibetian language, good work. Besides that I had many organizational conversations for organzing stuff in the APAC region.
Day 2
This was actually the most busy day for me as I had in the morning my own workshop about using Inkscape. Well there are some negative things, the room was not the best choice, its hard to work on a small table attached to the chair. But more worst was that the picture from projector was looped to an camera, but the camera was missing so we had to find that out first, so I lost some time for the workshop. But we still managed to draw with the participants what I wanted to achieve and they have a good foundation to use Inkscape in their work and learn it more. I already prepared a screencast, which you can find here.
Ryan switched more to a presentation style, which I only do on events to impress people what with our free software tools can be done and how easy it can be. But as I expect people on a FOSS event like FUDCon are already open to using our tools and just need some help starting to work with them and the best way to learn it is by doing.
After the lunch we had another Ambassadors BoF for APAC, time to speak more Ambassador stuff. We made during this year some progress in APAC and on FUDCon it was visible a lot of asians in a Fedora Ambassador shirts, but we still have not all equipped with them.
We also made progress in producing F21 media centralized but still there are some problems to solve as the process didnt work well, we had no central production in APAC for F22 but we talked how we shall do it in the future and think found the best solution for it. We also had time to discuss if it would possible to replace the DVD media at least partly with USB sticks. We agreed on doing a research on prices until next FAD APAC end of the year and look there if we do it or not. And yes we found an place where we want to do the next FAD – Singapore so we will work on it during the next months to organize it. So we moved again forward.
Day 3
Some went out really in the morning to spent some time in Mumbai, but I am to old for touristic pressure even I would like to have seen more from that city, I was in India for FUDCon and not for an touristic tour. So I went out of the hotel at noon and the cab brought me to the airport, where I enjoyed the sun outside and later I spent some time with Danishka Naven and Izhar Firdaus in the airport.
Day 4
This day I entered a plane in Mumbai short after the day had begun and woke up landing in Zurich. Well I found easily an AC port in this airport and free wifi was also available so I could do some work during the time I had to wait for the next flight, wich was this time just 5 hours later. After this flight I just had a short trip with the train and I arrived right in time for the Design Team meeting.
It was an interesting trip to India seeing how people live there and make new friends, meeting people I worked already with and meeting old friends. I think we moved for the Ambassadors in the APAC region and that means Fedora makes progress in the future in Asia.

As the federal government pursues the legalization of the recreational cannabis industry under the proposed Cannabis Act, a group of Okanagan College School of Business students will seize the opportunity to learn about the regulatory process and business impacts in a new course offered this fall.
"Our third- and fourth-year students will have an unprecedented chance to monitor the regulatory and legislative process of a new sector as it unfolds," says David Cram, the course's instructor and a 26-year veteran Okanagan College professor. "The reality is students are hearing and reading about this topic and can relate to it. Our goal is to join the conversation by providing them with an unbiased research-based perspective."
Topics covered in the Bachelor of Business Administration degree elective course titled The Emerging Marijuana Industry will include: regulation requirements, legal and legislative frameworks, pricing issues and risk assessments, impact on auxiliary industries (such as tourism, health, agriculture, law enforcement), and business ethics. The course is intended to provide an objective perspective and will not include manufacturing or technical operational content.
"There is great benefit in preparing a business community to know more about the cannabis industry that is clearly shaping up to be an important part of Canada's growing economy," says Cram. "One way to mitigate industry challenges is to promote and advance research. The more we know, the more oversight and accountability, the better and safer people will be."
A CIBC World Markets report published last year estimated the national recreational cannabis industry is valued at $5-10 billion. Medicinal use is legal and has been a popular treatment for some ailments and pain managements including for arthritis and cancer. The course will also discuss the legitimate medicinal side of the industry.
"As educators, we have a responsibility to prepare students for the world ahead by providing a thought-provoking learning environment," says William Gillett, Dean of the Okanagan College School of Business. "Our special topic courses, such as this one, are relevant to the changing and emerging business environment students will face upon graduation."

By Mark Hayes
There wasn't a women's Victorian Open for two full decades from 1992.
Today, the women are playing for a share of $650,000 in one of the most innovative tournaments in world golf.
The progress is stark.
Amazingly, though, the revolution is as simple as it is pronounced.
It began in the offices of the ultra-progressive Golf Victoria. In some eyes, the state body took a massive gamble in 2012 by uniting men's and women's tournaments in one combined event.
The risk was not so much putting the kiss of life on the dormant female event, but rather would the burden of logistics and finances weigh down a men's tournament that has an honour roll comparable to any great world event.
By any measure, the answer as we head into the seventh edition as a combined event is a resounding `No'.
The men's purse has grown steadily and, with the receptive and influential PGA of Australia's full support, embraced the once "radical" proposition.
The women's purse, not coincidentally, has grown at an equal rate to the point where both purses are now the equal seventh largest in the entire Oceania region, on either side of the game.
Naturally, the entry lists reflect that, too.
But even more, since Golf Victoria switched the Oates Vic Open to regional 13th Beach in 2013, it has become a must on so many players' schedules also because the Bellarine Peninsula offers a wide range of off-course attractions in the middle of an Aussie summer.
Gone, sadly, are the times when Australian male stars Jason Day, Marc Leishman and their overseas-based cohorts can neglect the millions on offer on the other side of the Pacific or wherever the European Tour sends them.
But the men at the next level are here in numbers, including several homegrown players who ply their trade in Europe and Japan.
And the reason is simple, even for them.
The Vic Open rocks.
The vibe of sharing a range, putting green, clubhouse and myriad functions between women and men is outstanding for all parties involved – not least of whom are the fans who clearly pick up on the relaxed, open nature of Golf Victoria's masterpiece.
And you'll never guess what has happened … so strong and engaging has the women's field become that they are now the chief magnet for those fans.
Where once women were a quirky dessert, they are now the main course.
By definition and design, the principle of Golf Victoria's plan – and that of the state government that helps bankroll the event – was that prizemoney be equally split among the genders.
But instead of that arguably once weighing on the men's expectations, the success of the event and its ability to attract interest and sponsorship dollars because of its innovative positioning has meant those same men are now riding higher because of the women's influence.
It's a win – EVERYWHERE you look.
Victoria again has a thriving women's championship; the cost of duplicating infrastructure is slashed; the marketing/media interest generated is enormous and, by extension, sponsor-luring; the governing bodies associated have forged better relationships; and, not least, golf finally has an event that is helping to shed its staid, backward tag.
I've covered Victorian Open golf championships for many years now. It has never been bigger, nor its future brighter.
As I write this, I'm about to go out and watch some of the world's leading amateurs, plus pros from the LET, LPGA, ALPG, Japan Tour, Asian Tour, Australian PGA, European Tour and China Tour – all in the one place.
It's a golf fan's dream.
My only concern is: will I be able to get a good view of the golf with so many people expected here in Barwon Heads this weekend?
Then again, I needn't fear because there are no ropes and I can walk alongside and behind some of the world's leading players to get a unique perspective on championship golf.
Ahhh, the joys of innovation.

A hard-hitting, fast-paced game with a heavyweight fight.
It may have had something to do with the fact Don Cherry of Coach's Corner Book was in the house.
The Corner Brook Royals, with Cherry and Ron MacLean doing a live broadcast of Coach's Corner for Hockey Night in Canada in the backdrop of the Corner Brook Civic Centre, eked out a 3-1 victory over the Stephenville Jets in West Coast Senior Hockey League play Saturday night in conjunction with the 2018 Hockey Day in Canada celebrations.
Dawson Drake scored the for the Jets with 51 seconds left in the opening period, going through a number of players in a solo rush that saw him deke Brad Dyke and slide the puck over the line to provide the only scoring play in the first period in a game that saw a number of thunderous hits before a sellout crowd that saw some lucky person going home with over $5,000 in cash for the 50-50 draw at the game.
Cherry and MacLean weren't long into their Coach's Corner segment when the third period opened up on a positive note for the Royals as Josh Taylor scored a pretty goal on a nice setup from Ryan Meade and Jeremy Bishop at 1:19 and Tyler Hunt gave the Royals a two-goal cushion 96 seconds later with Matt Lundrigan and Alex Hiller provided the support on the goal.
Taylor scored his second goal of the game at 11:36 to seal the deal for the Royals, who who were denied on dozens of chances from close range by Jets puckstopper Billy Clarke, who even stopped a shot with his head to keep his time close in the early going.
With under nine minutes to go, Lundrigan of the Royals and Sheldon MacIsaac of the Jets brought the crowd to their feet with a spirited fight that saw both players get in a few heavy blows before the officials got the tilt under control.
The Royals wrapped up the weekend with a split, losing one night earlier to the Deer Lake Red Wings by a 4-2 count with the Red Wings clinching the win with an empty-netter in the dying stages of a game played at the Hodder Memorial Recreation Complex.
Ryan Penney and Luke Parsons had a goal and an assist to lead the charge for the Red Wings who hold down sole possession of first place in the West Coast Senior Hockey League.

America is the land of opportunity, which in our litigious society means the chance for someone to take your assets away from you and your children. Asset protection planning will ensure your assets are protected from lawsuits, divorces, creditors, and long-term care issues, but it has to be set up in advance to work. We help clients set up irrevocable trusts and business entities to protect their "nest egg" funds and other assets.
Asset Protection for Your Children
If you're contemplating leaving your kids' inheritance to them outright, ask yourself if it's possible that they might:
- Be involved in a serious accident which would put their inheritance at risk?
- Get divorced and lose half of their inheritance to a disgruntled spouse?
- Start a business after being "downsized," end up bankrupt, and lose their inheritance?
The manner in which you leave your property to your children will determine how much asset protection they will have. This may be especially important if your children are doctors, lawyers, landlords, or business owners, since these professions are subject to a larger proportion of lawsuits. We help clients create lifetime trusts for their children, so their children and grandchildren will be protected from divorcing spouses, accidental disinheritance, creditors, and lawsuits.
Protecting Your Assets for You and Your Loved Ones
What if you are a senior, a professional, a business owner or have accrued significant assets? Before you can leave assets to your children, you must first have something left to leave.
Are your assets protected if:
- If you are sued for malpractice?
- You cause a serious accident?
- Your business fails?
- You file bankruptcy?
- Someone gets hurt on your real property?
Many insurance policies will never pay if you are the cause of the incident that results in a claim against you. Also, many people cannot afford or qualify for long-term care insurance. Proactive planning can help you keep your hard-earned assets for you today and for your tomorrows.
Asset protection planning involves making prudent decisions today to protect yourself, your business, and your hard-earned assets from loss due to lawsuits, creditors or bankruptcies. Nevada has some of the strongest asset protection laws in the country. As a Las Vegas asset protection lawyer, Lizette employs several unique Nevada Asset Protection strategies, including the Nevada Series LLC and Nevada Spendthrift Trust (also known as the Nevada Asset Protection Trust.)
For certain clients, domestic asset protection is not enough. For example, we can set up offshore trusts, Bridge Trusts; Nevada Spendthrift Trusts, single or Series LLCs, corporations and limited partnerships.
An offshore trust, Bridge Trust and a Nevada Spendthrift Trust allow you to be both the income and the principle beneficiaries. While offshore trusts are ideal for liquid assets, many clients do not want to incur the immediate cost of maintaining an offshore presence unless there is an actual threat. A Bridge Trust provides the flexibility of maintaining assets domestically and as simple as maintaining a revocable trust until an actual threat arises warranting moving assets offshore and the related costs associated with offshore asset protection. Also, beneficial is combining a Nevada Spendthrift Trust with Nevada entities that can help protect real property and other assets located in Nevada. A thorough risk analysis will assist us in determining the appropriate level of asset protection for you.

Postsecondary Attainment
We know that higher education attainment results in greater individual earning power. In fact, a worker with a bachelor's degree earns 84 percent more than a worker without a degree - an average value of $2.8 million over the course of a lifetime. And the value of individual attainment is also key to our national economic prosperity because research shows that more than two-thirds of all U.S. jobs will require a postsecondary degree or credential by 2018.
By providing greater postsecondary access and success for all Americans, we build stronger economies, thriving communities, and a greater quality of life. It's clear that higher education remains the best avenue to prosperity, opportunity and a stronger nation.
Tracking the Attainment Trend
Each year, Lumina tracks the nation's progress toward Goal 2025 focusing mainly on the percentage of the nation's working-age population (ages 25-64) holding a two- or four-year college degree. According to the most recent available data (2012), 39.4 percent of these working-age Americans have a two- or four-year degree — an increase of 0.7 percent from last year's reported rate of 38.7 percent. For detailed state-by-state data, including metro regions, see our yearly Goal 2025 progress report: A Stronger Nation Through Higher Education.
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey
A Stronger Nation Through Higher Education
A Stronger Nation offers detailed data arrays that describe degree attainment at the national, state and county levels. The report also provides degree-attainment data for each of the nation's 100 most populous metropolitan regions. We hope that having all of this data available in this interactive format will assist you in your efforts to make Goal 2025 a reality.

I am still struggling with my sickness.. grrr.. I have taken all the possible drugs which could relieve the pain and discomfort. But my stomach and digestive team just refuse to cooperate.
I take oatmeal, fiber-riched pineapple drink, and a lactobacilli drink, but there are still episodes of stomach pains.
Ive kicked soda and alcohol out of my diet and system. But it is still not much of help.
Should I blame celibacy for this sickness?

New offers and jet card programs for Flexjet private jets
Flexjet, the fractional business jet ownership program of Bombardier, is rolling out a series of programs and enhanced features to entice private jet use and fractional jet ownership around the world. One program is dedicated to owners making turnaround trips and the other includes features of the Flexjet Jet Card.
Launched in early February, the Round Trip Pricing program reduces the cost of one- or two-day round trips for owners committed to at least 100 flight hours per year. The program, the first of its kind in the sector, comes in response to feedback from owners looking for more cost-effective, short-haul travel.
This latest program from Flexjet rewards the increased operational efficiency gained when a fractional owner books both legs of a round trip in advance, thus maximizing active flight and crew time. Flexjet owners will see savings applied to both their hourly rate and Fuel Component Adjustment fees. The result is a 15 percent price reduction for each hour of a qualifying round trip and can save owners thousands of dollars for each flight flown. The reduced rate is available for Day Trips and Night Trips booked in advance.
Flexjet has also introduced new features to the Flexjet 25 Jet Card program which give prospective jet card owners versatile payment and aircraft selection options. These new Jet Card features are available on the full Flexjet fleet of Bombarier private jets including Learjet 40, Learjet 45, Learjet 60, Challenger 300 and Challenger 604. The new features include a split-payment option that facilitates Flextjet 25 jet card ownership and a combination jet card for a customized selection of any two aircraft from the full Flexjet 25 fleet.
The Flexjet 25 split-payment option provides prospective Flexjet 25 Jet Card owners the benefit of dividing the purchase price of a 25-, 30- or 35-hour jet card into two equal payments. The first half of the payment is made at the time of purchase. The second half of the payment is due after six months or upon scheduling more than half of the purchased flight hours.
Flexjet 25 Jet Card owners now have the benefit of purchasing 50 percent of their total hours in one aircraft type and 50 percent of the remaining hours in another aircraft type, chosen from the entire Flexjet 25 fleet with no additional fees. Whether traveling for business or pleasure, jet card owners experience ultimate flexibility by choosing the optimal combination of aircraft to meet their unique and evolving needs.
"The Flexjet 25 Jet Card program provides the flexibility and customization that businesses and individuals are looking for, especially given the current economic climate," said Mr. Levesque. "This program offers not one but two pragmatic options to make jet card ownership even more attractive and versatile. "The split-payment option is aimed at first-time jet card owners who might find two payment installments less daunting than one," Levesque continued. "The combination card significantly expands the options available to cardholders, allowing them to choose a variety of private jets from the youngest fleet offered by any jet card program."

Some of the station's programming will also change around mid-October, if the ownership transfer is approved by the Federal Communications Commission.
Years' worth of state and federal lawsuits and cross-complaints between nonprofit entities related to Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa, in California, and Calvary Chapel of Twin Falls, in Idaho, have been settled through a 41-page document filed with the FCC.
CCTF will pay CSN International $200,000 as part of the transaction, which will also have California-based CSN International transfer 18 of its 45 full-power radio stations, including KHJC, to the Twin Falls group, headed by President Mike Kestler.
CCTF will also receive three FM translator facilities and seven radio station construction permits, though none of those are in Hawaii, where it already has translators carrying both of its Idaho-originated program streams.
FCC approval is expected around Oct. 15, according to Mike Stocklin, general manager of the CCTF's radio operations, which will be incorporated separately in Idaho as the Christian Satellite Network. The Calif.-based CSN International is the Calvary Satellite Network.
Pastor Steve Furneaux and his family will continue to operate KHJC, Stocklin said, but when the ownership transfer is pau, the Christian programming from Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa, including teaching shows hosted by its Pastor, Chuck Smith, will be replaced.
Smith's "The Word for Today" is archived on the show's Web site and is carried in Honolulu by KLHT-AM 1040, a station licensed to Calvary Chapel of Honolulu, which has no connection to the legal settlement.
KHJC also carries sermons and teaching programs from Calvary Chapel of Twin Falls and other Calvary Chapel churches, as well as independent churches and organizations.
As for replacement content, "there's an abundance of ministerial programming," Stocklin said.
Its ministerial shows are beamed to Hawaii translators in Hilo at 88.1 FM; Kalaoa and Kailua-Kona at 91.9 FM; Kihei at 91.9 FM and Lanai at 88.9 FM.
CCTF also broadcasts a Christian rock format called, "The Effect" from its Idaho home base, to translators in Honolulu at 91.1; Kalaoa and Kailua-Kona at 90.1 FM, in Lihue at 90.1 FM and in Kihei at 89.9 FM.
