Step by Step Guide to Unlock Bootloader of X8, W8, X10 Mini & X10 Mini Pro
As Sony introduced many Next Gen congeners of its existing Xperia series; these old models took a backseat. Unofficial ROM development also came to a halt after stretching their limits. Some people still are developing bits and pieces for these models.
There have been much fuss to stretch these models to their last limit by giving them new Kernel and Unlocked status. Every new ROM which is being developed nowadays needs a Custom Kernel. These kernel can make your phone little more speedy and able to use with newly developed fresh ROMS. Sadly, new kernel can't be flashed to phone unless and until its bootloader is unlocked.
I tried it and got successful. So, here is the guide for first step which needs you to unlock your phone's bootloader.
1. Unlocking Bootloader will void your phone's warranty (you already void it but Rooting it. So don't worry). Luckily you can relock it back but as with hardware probability some might get not lucky.
2. This is; in real a very dangerous procedure. You can brick your phone totally. Then SE only may repair it. "MAY": Sometimes even they will not be able to.
3. If you had any kind of SIM-LOCK (Carries Lock as in with Bundle Scheme comes) and you removed it by some Software then unlocking Bootloader will relock it back. If your phone already came unlocked; or Sony Unlocked it or you unlocked it via IMEI number then; you can go ahead. In India; most of the phones are Factory Unlocked. So no worry. We will run check first that it can be unlocked or not.
4. Antivirus. Shut it down / pause it in permanent mode. Or you will just kill your phone during flashing.
5. I don't take any responsibility for any bricked Xperia.
6. X8 and W8? i.e E15i/a and E16i/a?
WARNING! Open your phone's cover. Take a look at bottom part. There is a Sticker. Look "Make Number". So, What you got?
11w28 or below? You are much safe. You may proceed at your risk. Chances of survival are good.
11w29 or above? Don't even think of it. Just leave it. Its bootloader can't be unlocked. It is sure to die.
Though some have reported to unlock without problems. I will say; better stay away.
REQUIREMENTS: (actual process is short. Downloading and preparation takes time)
1. ROOTED phone. PC, USB Cable.
2. Stock KERNEL and ROM.
Trust me! You already have a stock kernel or you wouldn't be here.
Stock ROM! Yes! It is much safer to unlock bootloader on a Stock ROM. However; many people have unlocked it while they are on Custom ROM.
If you have ever taken a backup of stock ROM then just use CWM or XRecovery to restore it. This is preferred method as ROOT of your phone will be preserved.
If you had never taken any backup via recoveries; then you will need to restore / repair it via SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service.) Download it here. This will remove your ROOT. So you will need to go back and ROOT it via FlashTool. Easiest way. Read this article.
3. Flashtool v 0.6.8.0. Download it here. TURN OFF ANTIVIRUS. Yes! Even before downloading. Windows for Windows User and Linux version for lovely Linux people.
4. S1Tool. This is to find out will your phone have any kind of SIM LOCKS and is safe to unlock or not.
5. MSM Scripts. To unlock when in certain conditions there is a SIM LOCK on your phone.
6. Sony Ericsson PC Companion. Needed for better connectivity.
7. Gordon's Gate Drivers.
8. STOCK KERNELS: I don't know it is really needed just for Unlocking Bootloader. But it's good to be safe than crying.
X8 (E15) and W8: Download
X10 mini (E10): Download
X10 mini Pro (U20): Download
9. And last requirement is 'Courage'. Don't think that if you have X10 Mini Pro means you are safe. You just have safer edge.
1. Turn of all kind of Antivirus. Anything. Even a malware checker.
2. I hope you got Stock ROM and Root already
3. On your phone go to: Menu >> Applications >> Development >> Select (ON) the "Debugging Mode", "Stay Awake" and "Install from other sources" (in applications menu itself).
4. Install PC Companion first. Run it. Attach your phone and see it's detecting your phone. Turn it off and disconnect phone.
5. Install FlashTool. Then go to place where you installed it. Find folder inside called "Drivers". Install the Driver File in it.
6. Install Gordon's gate Driver. Filename is : "ggsetup.exe".
7. Restart your PC/Laptop.
8. After login. Open Task Manager on PC. Just Ctrl+Alt+Del and End process "ADB.exe"; if running. (God! I am literally feeling like Spoon feeder )
9. Unzip/Unrar "S1Tool" in a folder where you installed Flashtool. Doesn't make difference. Just easy to handle.
10. Unzip/Unrar "MSM File" in a folder where you installed Flashtool. Again.. doesn't make difference.
11. Stock kernel: Unrar/Unzip to get '.FTF' file if you get zip/rar file. Copy paste phone's Stock Kernel file (.FTF) to folder called "Firmwares". This is present in Flashtool Folder.
STEP 1: SIM LOCK Identification
1. Take God's name. Nothing dangerous at this step but just to have good news. Lol!
2. Turn off your phone. Connect USB cable to PC. Only PC! Not Phone.
3. Go to S1Tool folder. There is a file called S1tool.exe. Run it.
4. Click IDENTIFY.
5. Press and Hold Back Button of your Phone and then Connect cable to it. It will land in Flash Mode.
6. S1 Tool Will Run and will give you Output.
Example Output:
Look for the Message you got where it is displayed "SEMC LOCK CERTIFICATE". That is kinda of Good News!
Situation 1: Now If you got:
1. Message: "SEMC SIMLOCK CERTFICATE"; or
2. You had unlocked your phone using EMMA/IMEI codes; or
3. Your phone came unlocked from company (New One);

2. Start FlashTool.
3. Take Connect your phone to Cable. I hope its settings and requirement are met as told above. Select "Charge Phone" on Phone Pop-up.
4. If your phone says that FlashTool needs ROOT ACCESS then Press OK on Phone. Your phone will be recognized at this step. FlashTool will announce that it is identified.
5. Take God's name. This time serious. Go to Click on Plugins >> Bootloader Unlock. Select Unlock/Run.
6. Disconnect cable and TURN OFF your phone.
7. Press Back button on phone and Connect Cable. As soon as FlashTool recognize it. Release Back Button. Unlocking will start. Keep taking God's name. Lol!
8. Wait till FlashTool asks you to Disconnect the cable.
9. FlashTool will say to TURN ON the Phone and Reconnect the Cable. Restart the phone and wait till it's completely booted. Connect the Cable now. NO BACK BUTTON HERE. Don't use your extra brain.
10. FlashTool will push required files. After little time there will be a message saying Unlock was successful.
11. Disconnect your phone. Restart. Congratz.
You now directly move to section VERIFYING THE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER.
METHOD B: (for Situation 2)
1. Remember the MSM Script Files we downloaded and extracted?
2. Connect the Phone to system.
2. Go to that 'MSM 7227′ folder. Find file "msm7227_semc.cmd" in the directory. Run it.
3. Press any key to start the unlocking process.
4. Wait for up to 5 minutes. Yeah this method takes time.
5. Check the Output. It will be something like this. It won't be EXACTLY SAME. Don't start throwing mad questions.

Palladius Raises $15M Series A to Capitalize its Management Entity
Palladius Capital Management announced that it will become a "vertically integrated real estate investment manager" that will be focused on finding investments in the multifamily, student housing and hospitality markets, the company announced.
Palladius was founded in 2021 and has since pulled in $15 million in a Series A round to "capitalize its management entity," according to the release. Its investors include Charlesbank; Timothy Dunn, chairman of JE Dunn; Robert Yallen, CEO of the InterMedia Group of Companies; Shaun Arora, co-founder of VC firm MiLA Capital; and Max Cutler, Parcast founder and Spotify (SPOT) executive.
Since it started, the Austin, Texas-based firm and its affiliates acquired nearly $500 million in assets, of which it said most were "sourced off-market," according to the release. That includes a more than $100 million purchase of a 624-unit multifamily property in Texas.
"From the way that we are structured to the manner in which we raise capital and pursue investments, Palladius was purpose-built to be different from other real estate investment managers," Chexal said in prepared remarks. "Our Series A funding enabled us to put in place, right out of the gate, a best-in-class team and tech-enabled platform, allowing us to efficiently and prudently deploy capital into assets that we can operate with precision. We believe our early platform investments provide us with a sustainable competitive advantage, enhancing our ability to generate alpha on invested capital."
The platform is being led by a team of commercial real estate, finance and technology veterans including CEO Nitin Chexal and senior managing directors Manish Shah, Marko Velazquez and Jaime Hinojosa, which Palladius said have "acquired, managed and operated more than $8 billion of assets throughout their careers."

I came across this interesting article the other day: An Introduction to Connective Knowledge ~ Stephen's Web ~ by Stephen Downes.
It argues that the web has allowed a new way of creating a shared knowledge based on connectivity, and it places this argument within the philosophical debate around meaning.
All very relevant to the semantic web, and an interesting forthright contribution.
How I found the article was interesting in itself. I noticed that John Breslin of DERI was publishing his slide shows on an new slide show sharing service. I browsed the other side shows in this service and found one by Stephen Downes. I liked it, and I then searched for more material by him.... That's the kind of path we can follow these days to locate interesting materials.

About Maria is a project created by the artist for the spaces of Brick Studio in Faenza.
A series of plaster Madonnas were attached to a bicycle with a chain and dragged along the asphalt by the artist. The result of this action is the work we now see on display, that documents the entire creative process.
«Don't tell me that your faith resides in this piece of chalk – declared the artist – and don't tell me that your passion dwells in this inanimate figure scratched by the asphalt, because if you try to convince me of this with your words, you perch yourself on a solitary peak, you detach yourself from what is the true path of faith. I made this project and this performance in an intimate way, alone among people. For me this is a path of expiation, through my sins, in a meditative atmosphere, of reflection, in which the slow and relentless pedaling was accompanied by the sound that you will hear in the exhibition space. […] This action, this personal journey, have the task of communicating that the ugliness of the contemporary world, to which we are slowly and inexorably dozing off, continue to be present, so let us not drag our faith listlessly, day after day, our passion, our beauty, we even try to preserve it, to transport it wisely in what I call a Madonna carrier, which has nothing to do with the mortification of passion and faith, on the contrary, it embodies for me a via crucis … woman, broad and aware of what is the subdued pain that we perpetrate every day towards others, but above all towards ourselves».
Visual artist, researcher, critical observer of the contemporary condition. He conducts a personal investigation aimed at exploring socio-political and economic dynamics and processes.
Some of his personal projects have been hosted by: Mart-Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art – Rovereto, Museum Beelden aan Zee – Scheveningen/Netherlands, MAR-Museo d'Arte Della Città – Ravenna, PAC-Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea – Milan.
In 2023, together with a collective of architects, designers and landscape architects, he won the international competition in RTP for the design of the new TINNE giovane museo chiusa in Chiusa; in 2022 he won the tender "PAC-Plan for Contemporary Art", Luigi Varoli Civic Museum, Cotignola; in 2021 he was awarded the Honorable Mention at the Korea International Ceramic Biennale, Gyeonggi Ceramic Museum – Gwangju/ South Korea; 2019 he won the First Prize at the 26th Contemporary Ceramic Competition, Grottaglie Museum; in 2013 he won the First Prize at the 58th International Competition of Contemporary Art Ceramics – under 40 section, International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza; in 2008 he won the Bronze Award at the 8th International Ceramics Competition of Mino, Museum of Modern Ceramic Art in Gifu/Japan.

Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent fibers that adhere to natural lashes so that the fringes of the eyelashes appear longer, fuller and darker. Individual eyelash extensions are applied to each of the individual natural lashes (one extension per natural eyelash) with a semi-permanent glue. Unlike false eyelashes, where striped or individual lashes are applied to the skin, eyelash extensions adhere directly to the eyelash itself. The result is more lush and dense eyelashes that can even allow you to skip the mascara (gasp).
Nowadays, there are so many different options for eyelash extensions, such as pink, green, orange and blue locks, which will not only enhance your natural lashes, but will also add a fun touch of color to your daily glamour. Your eyelash studio and artist are likely to sell oil-free mascara and eyeliner, so ask your professional for advice. However, since natural eyelashes don't grow at the same rate, you'll likely have holes in your eyes after your extensions start to fall out. Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent, synthetic, mink or silk fibers that are applied strand by strand with a non-irritating glue specially formulated on the eyelashes themselves to improve the shape of the eyes.
A consultation will also help you determine which material to choose (the most common are silk and synthetic mink; silk is a little shinier and stands out more, while mink is more wavy and natural), the length and type of curl (J is the lightest curve but ends up looking longer; C and D are the most inverted), since this is how like how many eyelashes should be applied. Instead of applying just one extension to each eyelash, the eyelash artist will first glue a few synthetic lashes together to create a fan. This will also help the eyelash artist examine your eyelash extensions and rule out potential problems. I didn't do it before my first appointment and I had tremor eye syndrome all the time, much to the dismay of my eyelash artist.
Voluminous lashes are defined by the number of individual eyelash extensions that are grouped into a "fan". Eyelash extensions are lightweight synthetic, silk or mink lashes that are applied directly to natural eyelashes. You can find an eyelash artist who works independently or a technician who works as an extension of a salon. According to Richardson, eyelashes can be damaged as a result of improper application of the extension or because the stylist does not select the right type of extension based on the condition of the natural eyelashes.
Everyone has different individual eyelash growth cycles, but in general a person can lose 1 to 5 eyelashes every day or about 20% of a person's natural eyelashes every two weeks.

Technical can help you meet individuals from all over the industry, of course you are considering relationship, programs and websites certainly help throw a greater net. But if you satisfy anybody on the internet that you will be selecting, in the event that you begin a long-distance connection with some body your satisfied on the internet — particularly when a lot of time-range relationship is actually notoriously challenging inside as well as themselves?
The fresh new small answer is which hinges on your circumstances, constraints, and you will the required steps feeling fulfilled during the sri lankan dating free a connection. "'Success' into the a relationship isn't fundamentally outlined from the a specific duration of time otherwise a certain end result (e.grams., co-habitating, marriage)," Dr. Stefani Threadgill, a sexologist, PhD, LMFT, and you may inventor of your Gender Treatment Institute explains. "I determine a fruitful relationship all together that create fulfillment and you can pleasure for people in the couple, provided the partnership lasts."
That being said, if you opt to give it a go, Dr. Sue Varma (@doctorsuevarma to your social networking), a people and you can intercourse counselor and you may sex instructor, claims that first rung on the ladder will be to describe your own aim. "Im huge towards someone getting obvious and up-side from the [its intensions], in their own personal brain and also for the most other," she claims, adding, "If you are searching for some time-identity, enough time dating, you will be prepared to result in the additional work [off dating long-distance]."
There are also different inquiries to ask your self because you proceed with a far-out love. To come, a couple of things to take on prior to taking you to definitely electronic action.
What do You want Away from Relationships?
In any case, prior to dropping for the romance, both parties should be aware of the emotional requires. (Need assistance de-mystifying? Need a quiz and determine the like dialects). "While someone who requires physical touch and you can/otherwise top quality big date activities together with her to create a love and be proud of your number of commitment, you will be getting yourself into a lot more heartbreak and you will frustration," warns Jennifer Gunsaullus, PhD, sociologist & intimacy mentor, and you will composer of the brand new impending guide From Madness to Mindfulness: Transforming Intercourse for ladies. However, on the bright side, people that react best to terms from acceptance and you will current offering/receiving is well pleased with digital conversations and you may special surprises delivered from the send. Further, "Individuals who currently have really busy and you can complete lifetime, as well as have people who find themselves separate otherwise stuff life style alone (when they don't have a roommate), can get enjoy the flexibleness and you may decreased expectations of a lengthy-range relationships," she states.
What lengths & How frequently Could you Take a trip?
Other aspect to consider is when much a radius you'll be happy to travel, as well as how usually, to see your lover. For instance, are you willing to end up being ok with and come up with a four-hours drive to spend the newest sunday with her, or flying halfway around the globe two times a-year? Or, are you willing to thought a-two-hr train trip a big inconvenience, considering the must be together with your beau? "How much point you may be happy to handle depends on how hectic you are already, and how much actual touching matters and being able to perform situations with her," states Dr. Gunsaullus. "What's more, it matters how long and money you must be able to take a trip and vice versa, given that a lengthy-range matchmaking, where you're traveling quite a bit, implies that friends and family and you can really works could well be negatively affected, plus wallet." Of course, this new commute may be far more bearable if one of you are willing to move around in, will be anything get severe.
Do you really Trust This person?
And you may past however, most certainly not the very least is the matter-of assuming someone's authenticity when you have not in fact — you understand — met. (At all, you've seen Catfish, correct?)."Even though it is incredible to meet individuals possibly date worldwide, you can find big circumstances to take into account prior to dive with the a beneficial long-distance relationships that doesn't begin by basic spending time along with her during the people," Dr. Gunsaullus claims. "The fact that you've never invested actual time in the same physical place with her possess a couple primary issues: Earliest, the other person may possibly not be just who they promote themselves to help you become online or from a radius, so that they is leading your towards. Also, it's difficult to assess intimate chemistry for individuals who haven't spent go out together with her."
Warning flags
Still, there are several warning flag you can look out to have by way of your own communication. Dr. Varma states one flakiness, unreliability, canceling prospective meet-ups, and you will advising tales that don't make sense is raise your skeptical. As well as in standard, she advises, it is best to faith the gut. Including, "when they merely seeking cell phone sex, sending sexually provocative photographs or texts early, you'll know their aim, thus usually do not be conned," she states. Plus, Dr. Threadgill cards, it may be easy to experience an untrue sense of cover once but a few days of continued messaging — and that's never a good thing. "Faux intimacy might be a consequence of dating started courtesy apps/dating or messaging," she demonstrates to you. "This is the sense one to вЂknows someone, yet , indeed, he's never satisfied; it's a hazard out-of dating regarding the digital years."
However with all of this planned, the pros agree that undertaking a long-range connection with anybody your fulfilled online actually immediately a detrimental idea. In fact, it could be extremely fulfilling for those who proceed having alerting and are usually happy to make some sacrifices. Dr. Gunsaullus shares her summary: "For those who have an experience of someone who feels like special, unique, and supportive in a sense you haven't were able to see in your home city, following perhaps you need to give it a try."

In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of using the Electrolux Euro Series washing machine, from loading your laundry to selecting the right settings for different types of fabrics. Let's get started!
Getting Familiar with Your Electrolux Euro Series Washing Machine
Before diving into the washing process, it's essential to become familiar with the various components and features of your Electrolux Euro Series washing machine. Take a moment to read the user manual and identify the following:
- Control Panel: The control panel consists of buttons and a display screen to operate the machine and select different wash cycles.
- Detergent Drawer: The detergent drawer has compartments for adding laundry detergent, fabric softener, and bleach (if applicable).
- Door/Lid: Depending on the model, your washing machine will either have a front-loading door or a top-opening lid. Ensure it is securely closed before starting any cycle.
- Drum: The drum is the interior compartment where you load your laundry. It is designed to hold different load sizes based on the capacity of your washing machine.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Electrolux Euro Series Washing Machine:
Step 1: Preparing Your Laundry
- Sort your laundry into different piles based on color, fabric type, and level of soiling. This step prevents color bleeding and ensures each load receives the appropriate care.
- Check the garment labels for specific washing instructions. Separate delicate fabrics from regular ones, as they may require different wash cycles.
- Empty all pockets and remove any loose items, such as coins or buttons, to avoid damaging the drum or clothing during the wash.
Step 2: Loading Your Laundry
- Open the washing machine door or lid to access the drum.
- Load your sorted laundry into the drum, making sure not to overload it. Overloading can affect washing performance and may cause excessive wear and tear on the machine.
- Close the washing machine door or lid securely.
Step 3: Adding Detergent and Fabric Softener
- Open the detergent drawer located at the front or top of the washing machine.
- Add the recommended amount of detergent for your load size and soil level to the appropriate compartment. Use liquid detergent for liquid compartments and powder detergent for the powder compartment.
- If using fabric softener, pour the recommended amount into the designated compartment.
- If your washing machine has a bleach dispenser, add bleach to the appropriate compartment if necessary for your load.
Step 4: Selecting the Wash Cycle
- Turn on the washing machine by pressing the power button.
- Use the control panel to select the desired wash cycle. The available wash cycles may include normal, delicate, heavy-duty, quick wash, and more.
- Adjust any additional settings as needed, such as water temperature, spin speed, or soil level. Refer to the user manual for guidance on choosing the right settings for your laundry.
Step 5: Starting the Wash Cycle
- After selecting the wash cycle and settings, press the start button to begin the washing process.
- The washing machine will fill with water and start agitating the laundry to remove dirt and stains.
Step 6: Completing the Wash Cycle
- Once the wash cycle is complete, the washing machine will automatically drain the water.
- Depending on your settings, the machine may also start the rinse and spin cycles to remove excess water from the laundry.
- The washing machine will indicate the end of the cycle through a signal or display message.
Step 7: Unloading Your Laundry
- Wait a few moments after the cycle ends for the washing machine door to unlock or the lid to release.
- Open the door or lid and carefully remove your freshly washed laundry.
- Check the drum for any remaining items, especially small socks or undergarments, which can sometimes get stuck in the folds of larger items.
- Leave the washing machine door or lid slightly ajar after use to allow air circulation and prevent mold or odors from developing.
Caring for Your Electrolux Euro Series Washing Machine
To ensure your Electrolux Euro Series washing machine continues to perform optimally, follow these care tips:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the detergent drawer, drum, and door seal regularly to prevent mold and odors. You can use a mixture of water and vinegar for this purpose.
- Proper Loading: Avoid overloading the machine, as it can lead to poor washing performance and strain the motor.
- Routine Maintenance: Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for routine maintenance, such as cleaning the lint filter and checking for any blockages.
- Leveling: Make sure your washing machine is properly leveled to prevent excessive vibrations during the spin cycle.
1. Can I wash all types of fabrics in my Electrolux Euro Series washing machine? Yes, the Electrolux Euro Series washing machines are designed to handle various fabric types. However, always check the garment labels for specific washing instructions.
2. Can I use a liquid detergent in the powder compartment? No, it is essential to use the appropriate detergent type for each compartment to avoid clogging and ensure proper washing performance.
3. How do I clean the detergent drawer? Remove the detergent drawer and rinse it under running water. You can also use a mild detergent and a brush to clean any stubborn residues.
4. Can I open the washing machine door during the wash cycle? Most modern washing machines have a safety lock feature that prevents opening the door during the wash cycle for safety reasons.
5. Can I wash large items, such as comforters, in my washing machine? The capacity of your washing machine determines the size of items it can handle. Refer to the user manual for specific guidelines on washing large items.
6. Is it normal for the washing machine to vibrate during the spin cycle? Some vibration during the spin cycle is normal. However, excessive vibrations may indicate an unbalanced load or an issue with the leveling of the machine.
7. How can I prevent my washing machine from developing odors? Leaving the door or lid slightly ajar after use and cleaning the detergent drawer and drum regularly can help prevent odors.
8. Can I pause the wash cycle and add more laundry? Most washing machines have a pause button that allows you to add more laundry during the wash cycle. However, there may be limitations based on the cycle's progress. Check your user manual for specific instructions on pausing and adding laundry.

WELCOME To the Brecqhou Stamps Web-site | |
Just 80 yards due west of Sark lies the enchanting and beautiful private Island of Brecqhou, comprising some 87 acres. Once part of the Vinchelez Fief in Jersey, it passed by inheritance and marriage to the La Marchant family of Guernsey, hence its previous title 'Iles des Marchands' from 1363 - 1681. The island was purchased in 1993 by Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay who have substantially upgraded the facilities and built their magnificent castle home - Fort Brecqhou. | |

Today brought about the news that Dublin's Cathal Pendred has retired from the sport of mixed martial arts.
Pendred's career with the UFC had been up and down since he vacated his welterweight title with Cage Warriors to enter The Ultimate Fighter House, and the reaction from fans of the sport towards him has always been more unusual than most, as for someone who has never been a headline name for the UFC, he sure does draw a lot of interest.
Always well supported by Irish MMA fans at the Dublin events, but regularly mocked on twitter and reddit, Cathal has certainly had an eventful career that drew a lot of attention towards him, and regardless of whether you supported him or took the piss out of him, he's left his mark on Irish MMA.
Here are 7 moments from his UFC career that we won't be forgetting any time soon:
The Comeback
'UFC Fight Night 46 - McGregor vs. Brandao' was a truly incredible night for Irish sport. Irish MMA was riding a wave of popularity with the emergence of Conor McGregor, but the 3 Arena was rocked to it's foundations as a number of spectacular performances were put in, leaving the country with an undeniable buzz around the fast-growing sport.
Pendred was a big part of it, as he personified the Irish fighting spirit and refused to give up despite taking an absolute beating from his TUF 'Team Penn' teammate Mike King, who was later done for PEDs.
Pendred somehow remained conscious, took down his exhausted opponent, and sank in a rear-naked choke to complete one a truly remarkable comeback, and the Dublin crowd went ballistic.
The Streak
After the fireworks of his first UFC performance, Pendred never hit those heights in terms of excitement again, but he did proceed to defeat his next three opponents, in the space of 11 months.
Pendred's ability to keep himself in fighting shape all-year-round saw him take on five fights in his first year with the UFC, and after he won his first four, he entered the fifth with the knowledge that a win would see him do something no fighter had ever done by going 5-0 in his first year with the UFC.
Sadly, he was well beaten by John Howard via split decision, something which drew heavy criticism from all corners of the MMA community, even UFC President Dana White:
The only thing worse than that fight was the score!!! Split decision????
— Dana White (@danawhite) July 12, 2015
It wasn't Pendred's fault that he was awarded some possibly favourable decisions in his time, but he was certainly treated like it was.
The Pirouette
An unforgettable moment in an otherwise forgettable fight. Montano kept running away, so Cathal started taking the piss.
The Entrances
Every time Cathal made the walk to the Octagon, he did so with Irish football anthem "Put 'Em Under Pressure" blaring through the stadium. We loved him for that.
The Dolphin
A fantastic story saw Cathal become something of a viral internet celebrity after it emerged that he had rescued a Dolphin that was stranded on the shore in Doonbeg.
I just spent an hour in the sea at Doonbeg trying to save a baby dolphin. He was very hurt but alive and well now! ? pic.twitter.com/LlteQKznHj
— Cathal Pendred (@Pendred) April 27, 2014
The internet swooned for a muscular man coming to the aid of an endangered Dolphin. Heroic.
The CM Punk Beef
Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of Pendred's retirement is the realisation that we will never see the super-fight between Pendred and his long-term twitter adversary CM Punk.
Pendred voiced his unhappiness at the treatment former WWE star CM Punk was getting from Dana, like many other fighters, when the news first broke, but when 'The Punisher' took the piss out of Punk's striking, things got personal:
I've been called out by everybody.I'm an easy target.YOU, are a coward and a pussy.Shouldn't you call out somebody in the top ten? @Pendred
— Coach (@CMPunk) August 11, 2015
You can recount that engagement in all it's glory here, but things died down after Cathal said the following:
My striking has looked atrocious in the UFC so far, and that's the type of guy I am, I have no problem ripping it out of myself. But that (the CM Punk footage) made me look good. I've seen boxercise classes where people were hitting the pads better than that.
CM Punk too the high road after hearing of Pendred's retirement:
Respect. https://t.co/iPOmyq6Ocv
— Coach (@CMPunk) November 25, 2015
The Time He Got Followed By Chicharito
Former Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez liked what he saw at UFC Mexico:
After 6 weeks in Mexico I leave with at least one (quite notable) Mexican fan... pic.twitter.com/4Cak1tebeG
— Cathal Pendred (@Pendred) June 16, 2015
And so the Cathal Pendred UFC story comes to a close.
It was short, eventful, and entertaining, and while some chose to take the piss out of his style, or his possibly favourable decision wins, we couldn't help but admire how he never shirked a challenge, always gave his best, and always left the Octagon to a chorus of 'Olé Olé Olé'.

In November we wrote a post with 16 growth hacking tips that have resulted in some sort of positive metric growth for us.
One of the tips talked about how our widget is one of our biggest drivers of new signups (over 30%), I also mentioned that I really wanted to see if we could squeeze this number higher. Since our widget reaches over 1.3M eyeballs a month currently, this is a very scalable growth hack.
The Default Footer Link
By default we include a Powered by Gleam link at the bottom of our widget. The clickthrough rate on this is approximately 0.006% which means that roughly for every 1M unique users we'll get ~6000 users click through to our competitions page.
Here's the footer link in action:
Of the users that clickthrough this page normally converts at 3.88% which means for every 1M uniques we drive roughly 233 new signups. This isn't a bad marketing channel for us now that we're pushing upwards of 1M sessions a month.
This also means that there's also 233 opportunities per 1M users for our existing customers to earn referral credit.
The Experiment
We knew we could do better, so we decided to come up with 12 variations which we put into a Javascript array to cycle evenly, we then tracked the clickthroughs & conversion rates in Google Analytics.
These variations only ran on customers that were using the Free version of our product:
- Powered by Gleam (control)
- Run a Free Contest Like This
- Create a Free Competition
- Run Free Giveaways
- Run A Free Giveaway
- Run Free Giveaways with Gleam
- Created With Gleam Competitions
- Run Your Own Competition
- Run Your Own Competition Like This
- Start Using Gleam For Your Business
- Gleam Rocks For Competitions
- Not Using Gleam Yet?
We let the experiment run for 60 days to collect data.
Astonishing Results
After 60 days I checked in on the experiment & was very surprised at some of the data that was coming back. Changing the phrase has a noticeable impact on 2 particular metrics.
Number of clicks on the footer message
This metric was really what we initially intended to try & improve. We had a good idea of the conversion rate of our landing pages, so we simply thought if we send more traffic they will convert at roughly the same rate (but boy were we wrong).
Number of conversions post click
This is something that I was not expecting at all, as you'll see in the data below. The phrase used in the widget had a considerable impact on whether or not a user converted on the landing page (we made no changes to the competitions landing page at all).
Phase Variation | Clicks | Signups | Conv Rate |
Gleam Rocks For Competitions | 351 | 15 | 4.27% |
Run a Free Contest Like This | 350 | 23 | 6.57% |
Create a Free Competition | 328 | 18 | 5.49% |
Not Using Gleam Yet? | 268 | 46 | 17.16% |
Run Free Giveaways | 268 | 15 | 5.60% |
Run Free Giveaways with Gleam | 231 | 15 | 6.49% |
Run A Free Giveaway | 216 | 11 | 5.09% |
Powered by Gleam | 206 | 8 | 3.88% |
Created With Gleam Competitions | 206 | 12 | 5.83% |
Start Using Gleam For Your Business | 188 | 18 | 9.57% |
Run Your Own Competition | 144 | 13 | 9.03% |
Run Your Own Competition Like This | 144 | 10 | 6.94% |
What this data tells us is that users are anywhere up to 70% more likely to clickthrough depending on the phrase used at the bottom of the widget. But they are anywhere up to 442% more likely to convert depending on what phrase is used.
Another datapoint that was interesting is that our original "Powered by Gleam" phrase that we've had in place for almost a year gets the poorest results from any variation. This is a typical phrase that a lot of businesses will throw in their widgets by default.
What Increases Did We See?
This means that if we took our original calculation:
( 1M impressions x 0.006 CTR ) x 3.88% = 233 signups per 1M impressions
Now lets do the same equation taking into consideration the increased CTR & conversion rate:
( 1M impressions x 0.0078 CTR) x 17.16% = 1338 signups per 1M impressions
That's a total increase of 474% just by changing one footer phrase on our widget. Pretty incredible.

It's been an eventful 24 hours with gales, torrential rain, thunderstorms but also very high temperatures and glorious sunshine for some.
Cantabrians had their hottest night for January ever as parts of the city didn't drop below 25 degrees as hot nor' westers buffeted the city.
At 6am the city was still hot at a shade under 27 degrees.The overnight low at Christchurch Airport was 22 degrees just before midnight but at 3am was 26 degrees whereas other parts of the city such as Belfast and Avonhead were cooking near 30.
"This appears to be some of the heat that Australia has seen and it's worked its way across the Tasman" says weather analyst Richard Green. "It was a tricky night to get some sleep and these sorts of temperatures were about 10-15 degrees above normal during the night" he said.
Kaikoura is also feeling the effects of the fohn wind with a current reading of 28 degrees.
Today the conditions are expected to ease in southern areas after a bit of a pasting with winds and further rain yesterday and overnight.
Not only did the West Coast receive a good dousing but parts of Otago and Southland bore the brunt of nature in full flight.
Queenstown saw an electrical storm as did other parts of the region and heavy rain raised concerns about water levels in the area.Last night wildfire could be seen over the Main Divide as far north as North Canterbury and it was a spectacular display.
Invercargill didn't miss out on the action either with wind and rain coming and going plus temperatures were certainly cool along the southern coast as well.
Yesterday across eastern areas the mercury hit 30 degrees or more across many centres once again with Kaikoura making 33 degrees as the national high.
Overnight temperatures were warm for quite a few areas with 20 degree plus readings also quite commonplace.
It's been an active week so far with big winds on Monday across parts of the upper half of the North Island and Nelson as well.Tuesday saw a reasonable day nationally with only pockets of gusty conditions but temperatures remained reasonably warm and yesterday it was full on across central and southern parts.
Today should see an improvement in the south but it'll take time over central parts as some rain could move in over the southwest corner of the North Island by tonight and winds will take time to pull back today as well.
The northern half of the North Island is missing most of the boisterous conditions and a good looking Thursday is likely.
Tomorrow is looking better overall with many parts of the country seeing winds subside and skies clearing.
Should we say there's yet another front due over the weekend or leave that alone for now?
Perhaps we'll keep you posted.

Also a very warm night further up in Waipara, hard to try and get sleep in this heat, unfortuantely couldn't have the windows open due to the NW gales, now raining quite heavily, but still very warm.
on 9/01/2013 8:16pm
Thanks for that Lana
Hopefully conditions easing throughout the day but those temps were certainly hot!
on 9/01/2013 7:52pm
Ingill certainly got some rain.and thunderstorms late in the day but the wind came and went with lots of calm spells. Let's not forget that a good part of the day was mild in the low twenties.
on 9/01/2013 8:15pm
We hear you LM and good old Invers!
Spent 5 years there and know what the weather can be like and when the front arrived yesterday it plummeted to 10 degrees and the windchill made it closer to 5. Invigorating stuff!
Certainly a colourful summer so far for the southern city.
on 9/01/2013 9:28pm
At least the cold change was late enough in the day. Spent a long time living in ChCh myself and the almost constant easterly drove me away. When it's calm and mild/warm, it's lovely but the NW, which seems to help drive up the temp, ruins it.
on 9/01/2013 6:18pm
Sure was hot, couldn't hardly sleep at all, all windows etc open but you're right – it was near thirty in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT! Not very nice but quite interesting to experience. Currently 25 degrees near south city and raining 🙂

A wetsuit is a tight-fitting garment that athletes use in a wide variety of water sports including swimming, surfing and wake boarding. A wetsuit's design allows a small amount of water to seep in between the skin and the suit. Your body quickly heats this water, which helps to keep you warm in cold water temperatures.
Well-Made Suit
Typically manufactured from double-lined neoprene or with neoprene laminated to a fabric such as stretch nylon, wetsuits are constructed with functionality in mind. In thinner suits, the flexible nylon material Lycra is used. Manufacturers use different techniques—including gluing, blind stitching and taping—to increase the seal at the seams of the suit. They also commonly sew in a flap of material that lies underneath the zipper to reduce water seepage.
Snug and Stretchy
You should purchase a wet suit that fits well to help increase insulation and comfort. Your wetsuit should fit snugly but should not restrict movement or breathing. A tight-fitting wetsuit will provide a good seal at the ankles, wrists and neck. The fit of the suit should minimize the amount of water that enters the suit, because the smaller the amount of water inside, the better your body will retain heat. If you purchase a wetsuit that is too loose, it will fill with water, restricting your movement and failing to retain heat.
Suit Styles
Five types of wetsuits are available for purchase. A shorty is a one-piece, short-sleeved and shorts-styled wetsuit. The three-quarter wetsuit is a one-piece suit featuring short sleeves and legs that extend to the ankles. A full-length wetsuit has sleeves that extend to the wrists and legs that extend to the ankles. A full suit is a one-piece suit that can have either short or long legs. The Farmer John or Farmer Jane is a two-piece suit styled like bib overalls for individuals with an odd leg-to-torso figure.
Triathlon Temperatures
The water conditions you prefer will dictate when to wear a suit. Generally speaking, the warmer the water the less protection you need, and the colder the water the more protection you need. Commercial wetsuit sellers suggest in water 70 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit, you should use a wetsuit that is 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick. In water 50 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit, you should use a wetsuit that is 3/16 to 1/4 inch thick. Lycra is the best fabric to use for diving in warm and shallow waters. Triathlon competitors should note that the USA Triathlon, the national governing body for the triathlon, allows a wetsuit in water 78 degrees or cooler, and permits wetsuits in 79 to 84-degree water although they make you ineligible for awards.

Ike is a business owner, conservationist, husband, and father of three. He has been living and working in Fauquier County for 27 years, raising children, chickens, and goats in an 18th century farm house on Old Bust Head Road.
Ike cares deeply about land use issues and has helped to craft smart, environmentally friendly policies across the county through his roles as Vice Chair of the Fauquier Purchase of Development Rights Program and Chairman of the Vint Hill Economic Development Authority. As co-owner of Old Bust Head, a local craft brewery, with his wife Julie, Ike knows that the right kinds of development in the right places can bring life and energy to the community without sacrificing the rural character that makes Fauquier unique.
Ike's Vint Hill Story
In 2007, Ike was appointed to the Board of Vint Hill Economic Development Authority (the EDA), the organization charged by the Governor to convert the former Army Base a mile south of Rt 29 into an economic engine for Fauquier County. As Chair and Director of the EDA, Ike advocated for a plan to preserve the old buildings and to leverage the history that made Vint Hill special.In just five years under Ike's leadership, during a severe real estate recession, the EDA was able to renovate several buildings, attract several new businesses and invest in new infrastructure including: new roads and trails, water & sewer lines, fiber optic cable, broadband, and cell towers, all while reducing operating expenses by more than 30% from when Ike arrived. After selling the remaining land at a profit, the EDA was able to create a fund with over half a million dollars for future economic development projects.
The following year, Ike and Julie purchased several of the oldest and most run-down buildings in Vint Hill, launching their new brewery, Old Bust Head Brewing Company, at the center. They began renovating those buildings using state-of-the art sustainable infrastructure like geothermal heating and cooling, LED lighting, and a massive 100kW PV solar electric rooftop installation, the largest for miles around.
Their efforts have attracted 30 businesses including ballet, yoga, gymnastics, and CrossFit studios, a church, a school, several defense contractors, a food distribution center, a winery, a hair salon, two cafés, a catering company, a museum, a retail gift shop, a veterinarian, a global land-conservation non-profit, and a dozen other small businesses, housed in over 200,000 square feet of commercial space, and employing hundreds of people who no longer have to commute to Northern Virginia every day.
In the process, Ike has developed a reputation with local residents, County government, local business owners, and conservation organizations as an honest, hard-working problem solver who devotes his time and resources to preserving the scenic beauty of Fauquier and creating jobs and amenities that build a vibrant and healthy community.
Fauquier is certainly the most beautiful county in Northern Virginia, and arguably in the entire Commonwealth. It's also a great place to live and a great place to farm. That's not by mistake. For the last 50 years our elected leaders have developed thoughtful policy and, with the help of hundreds of volunteer citizens, worked tirelessly to implement and defend that policy against the continual pressure to develop our rural landscape. Our threats today are as great as they've ever been. The demand to convert farmland and forest into suburban sprawl is constant. The pressure to convert pristine views into easy tax revenue is intense. Fauquier's track records of channeling that demand into its service districts and protecting its farmland, forests, and viewsheds is what makes us different.
I'm running as an independent because I think it is what we need as a community. My career as a real estate broker taught me how to find common ground between natural adversaries and to get everyone to the settlement table with a smile!
If elected, I will use my 40 years of business experience to help Fauquier anticipate its threats and build strong defenses against them. If we plan strategically, we can simultaneously attract creative opportunities for economic growth and preserve the history and the natural beauty that surrounds us so it may be enjoyed for generations to come. As your Supervisor, my priorities will be:–– Ike
- Protecting our farms, forests, and view sheds from intrusive development.
- Preventing power lines from bisecting our communities and destroying property values.
- Having the infrastructure and zoning that encourages businesses to launch and flourish in our service districts so that residents will have: amenities closer to home, job opportunities that greatly shorten their commutes, and tax revenue from businesses that reduce homeowner's tax burdens.
- Building out broadband throughout all areas of the County.
- Offering competitive salaries and benefits to all county employees and investing in the facilities and equipment they need to provide the services we expect.
- Keeping taxes low by avoiding wasteful spending and by not allowing services to expand unnecessarily.
Other Experience
Over the years Ike has worn many hats, but his interest in land use and the community has been constant. He has launched and grown several successful companies and managed the finances of non-profit and governmental organizations. He also has deep experience developing long-range strategic plans, negotiating contracts, overseeing complex projects, and managing large budgets. Some highlights from Ike's career:
- Founded Century 21 New Millennium in 1990 and served as CEO until 2001. By the time it sold in 2006 New Millennium had become the largest C21 franchise in the world.
- Vice chair of Fauquier County's Purchase of Development Rights Committee since 2004.
- Chairman and Executive Director of Vint Hill EDA from 2007 until 2012.
- Highland School Board Treasurer between 2007 and 2015. Navigated the 2008 recession and facilitated the $24 million expansion and $17 million bond financing.
- Founded Listening Post Commercial in 2013, renovating and managing 260,000 square feet of commercial space in Fauquier County.
- Founded Old Bust Head Brewing Company in Vint Hill in 2014.
Ike has been endorsed by Holder Trumbo, Mary Leigh McDaniel, Bill Downey, and Peter Schwartz, all current or former Fauquier County Supervisors from Marshall and Scott Districts. He has worked closely with all four of them on important issues for more than 20 years and is happy he can count on their wise counsel and support for many years to come.Community Advocacy
Ike has fought on the front lines with other community leaders to support or block initiatives that could have a big impact our community. A few examples:Protecting Route 29 – Ike served on five citizen committees over 15 years to provide VDOT input and feedback. We successfully prevented VDOT from widening Rt 29, creating a grade-separated interchange at Vint Hill Road, and building "Michigan U Turns" in three locations in New Baltimore, and eventually persuaded VDOT to proceed with the project that became known as "Cut the hills and fill the dips", which today is recognized as one of VDOT's most successful projects, preserving the rural character of this historic road while making it safer and reducing delays, all for a fraction of the cost VDOT had expected to pay.
Stopping the Power Towers – Ike worked with other community leaders and citizen groups to fight a Dominion proposal to add high-voltage transmission lines, which could have cut through residential areas and farmland in and around New Baltimore. Ultimately, Dominion agreed that the lines were not necessary immediately, though they have warned us that the issue will need to be addressed soon.
Saving the Vint Hill Barracks – After convincing the EDA to reverse their earlier decision to demolish the historic barracks in Vint Hill, Ike worked with the new owners and county staff to develop a sensible change to the zoning ordinance permitting residential use in historic structures. The Barracks restoration plan gained approval with wide-spread community support, paving the way for affordable loft apartments that will become an integral part of Vint Hill's economic revitalization.

Happily Ever After
First an update on the stitches (not so happily ever after). They came out today but the gash isn't closed, so I'm steri-stripped for the next week. Hopefully they will impede my typing less than the stitches.
In happier – and bigger – news, there's a follow-up to the rare story on rehabilitation through prison that I flagged the other week. I wrote about Donnie Andrews and Fran Boyd. He helped her through heroin addiction from prison, where he was serving a life sentence for killing a drug dealer. They fell in love. After he was paroled (because he was, in a surprise turn, rehabilitated), their relationship continued and they were planning to marry.
And marry they have. In a nice change of pace from the country club set, the New York Times Vows column today features a report on their wedding. The cast of "The Wire," Andrews' defense attorney, and the prosecutor who put him away were all in attendance.
Sometimes these stories do have a happy ending.

Instead of solving the problems of the citizens, the Mayor of the City of Skopje Danela Arsovska creates new problems. Instead of being focused on implementing its program, she is focused on creating conflicts. In a short time, she created chaos in the city, VMRO-DPMNE said on Wednesday.
"Skopje is filthy like never before. Arskovska quarreled with the union of PE Water Supply and Sewage. She quarreled with the JSP union. She made late payments of salaries in PE Parks and Greenery. She made late payments of salaries in the Lajka animal shelter. She quarreled with the private bus companies. Chaos reigns in the schools under the City of Skopje. She forces the firefighters to be guards," reads the opposition party's reaction.

Lincoln International action figures, especially their Monsters are often dismissed as "Mego Knockoffs" which they kind of are but they should also be recognized as the stylish and charming monster toys they are.
These eight-inch Mego-inspired figures were made in the mid-1970s by toy manufacturer Lincoln International. The Monsters saw distribution in the United Kingdom, Europe, and North America. Variations of both the packaging and figures themselves exist which implies that several runs were made.
This isn't all about the Monsters, we also have galleries of other original Lincoln International creations such as Big Bill, Mr.Rock, the Thrill Seekers, and Big Bad John.

Revisiting a Baguio Classic: Sizzling Plate Baguio
In a world that keeps on changing, we find solace in things that are constant.
Sizzling Plate Baguio is one such constant for a Baguio resident or for someone who is fond of visiting Baguio City. That cozy little steakhouse along session road with a cashiers booth near the entrance really brings back memories.
Way back when the restaurant first opened, life was not that complicated. Sure, eating at a restaurant before may be considered a luxury while today, for some, eating out is a necessity.
I can still remember the first time I entered this steakhouse, and no, it was not to feast on their mouth-watering sizzling steaks, no, it was to pickup an order of their famous sans rival.
For a Baguio resident like me, I would first remember Sizzling Plate for their Sans Rival- that light, airy, and buttery dessert and not their steaks. Well, at least not until I actually tried to eat one of their dishes.
It's been a long time since I last ate at Sizzling Plate. Upon entering their doors, you would get that familiar old vibe, tables on an elevated platform and a cashiers booth near the entrance. I thought going there at 11 in the morning for an early lunch would allow me to choose the seat that I like, usually by the window, however this is not going to happen as diners already were already flocking and all window side tables were already occupied.
Sizzling Plate Baguio Menu
No matter, I came here to satisfy our craving for meats sizzling on a hot plate. For someone who has dined at this restaurant, you will realize that there is a process that you will be able to see if you observe long enough. First, you will be given the menu. Ah, the menu, aside from the now bigger and laminated menu, there is very little change on the dishes you can choose from. The best part is, they still have my favorites on the the menu, the Salisbury steak, Porterhouse, and the porkchop.
Today, I have a craving for that beef patty goodness dubbed as the Salisbury steak, the very first dish I ordered from this restaurant and among the cheapest of their beef or steak dishes.
After ordering, the waiter will set up your table with paper placemats and provide you with the utensils that you need, a fork, spoon and of course a steak knife. Next, a bowl of their house soup, which is free by the way, will be served. It will not be the best soup you will ever taste, but it will do to prepare your tummy for a steak dish.
Sizzling Plate Drinks
Drinks will be served next almost simultaneous with your soup. I like that they still have my go-to drink at this restaurant, a bottle of Cali, a non-alcoholic drink that resembles a beer but instead of bitter it is more on the sweet side. Yes, this restaurant still serve Cali in a bottle unlike the newer "in-can" version.
And now for the main event, you will hear your order as it comes out of the kitchen and to your table through the symphony of sizzles, not to mention, the smoke coming from the very hot plate. But the sizzle doesn't end there.
Once your order is placed on your table, you will be provided with a container full of their house gravy. Pouring the gravy on to your steak on a hot plate will make an even louder sizzling sound. Just be careful to not get some gravy splatters on your clothes.
After devouring the Salisbury steak, of course, we're not done yet. For a Baguio resident who also fell in love with this restaurant, a meal is not complete at Sizzling plate without their signature Sans Rival.
Of course, you don't have to order one, but I feel, I must, as a slice of this light, airy and buttery goodness is my way of paying homage to one of the constants of Baguio City, a place I could find comfort that is originally Baguio.

BMI Austin Makes First Songwriter Signing
Country singer Triston Marez is the first songwriter added to the new Austin roster of Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI). The performing rights organization announced the opening of its new creative office in Austin in a press conference with Texas governor Greg Abbott in March. Marez's EP That Was All Me was released in January, and he continues to tour throughout the state.
"It's rare that you find an artist who has made such an impact in such a short amount of time. Making an impact in Texas is a great barometer for success," says Mitch Ballard, Senior Director, Creative, Austin. "Triston is not only a great songwriter; he's incredibly hard working. Every bit of his success can be attributed to a great combination of talent and determination. We are thrilled to welcome him to the BMI family."
A Houston native, Marez's EP debuted in the top five on the iTunes country chart. Since its release on Jan. 25, the singer-songwriter has reached a combined one million streams on all platforms. His new single, "Darlin'," has surpassed 50,000 streams in two weeks.
"It is quite an honor to be a part of the BMI family and the first artist signed to the roster at the new office in Austin, Texas; the state that I call home," Marez said. "The team at Torrez Music Group and I have worked very hard to get the momentum we have today and knowing we have BMI on board, who have supported and impacted the growth and success of many artists from Texas who I look up to, is a great feeling. I truly am thankful for everyone at BMI, including Mr. Ballard, for giving me this opportunity."

Often in tasks in mechanics it is necessary to deal with blocks and cargoes, suspended on threads. Cargo pulls thread, under its action thread is affected by tension force. Just the same on the module, but force, opposite in the direction, affects from thread cargo according to the third law of Newton.
It is required to you
- Athwood's car, small weights
1. For a start it is necessary to consider the simplest case when the cargo suspended is based upon thread. Cargo in the vertical direction is affected by Ftyazh gravity = down with mg where m is the mass of cargo, and g is acceleration of gravity (on Earth ~ 9.8 m / (с^2). As cargo is not mobile, and except gravity and force of a tension of thread other forces do not affect it, according to the second law of Newton of T = with Ftyazh = mg where T is thread tension force. If cargo at the same time moves evenly, that is without acceleration, then T is also equal to mg according to the first law of Newton.
2. Let now cargo with a mass of m move with acceleration of a down. Then under the second law of Newton Ftyazh-T = mg-T = ma. Thus, T = MGA. These two simplest cases, given above, it is also necessary to use in more difficult backs for determination of force of a tension of thread.
3. In tasks in mechanics the important assumption usually becomes that thread of a nerastyazhim and is weightless. It means that the mass of thread can be neglected, and force of a tension of thread is identical on all length. The simplest case of such task - the analysis of the movement of cargoes by Athwood's car. This car is the fixed block via which thread to which two cargoes are suspended by the mass of m1 and m2 is thrown. If the mass of cargoes are various, then the system comes to progress.
4. The equations for the left and right bodies by Athwood's car will register in a look: - m1*a1 = - m1*g+T1 and m2*a2 = - m2*g+T2. Considering properties of thread, T1 = T2. Having expressed thread T tension force from two equations, you receive: T = (2*m1*m2*g)/(m1+m2).
