Edit history
changed: - ---- Now that Pd has the beginnings of a fully functional namespace, its time to start thinking of Pd as a platform. The next big step is organizing the vast amount of code into coherent libraries with consistent interface paradigms. This page is a scratch pad to start working out ideas of how to organize the Pd platform libraries. = Library Structure = One key part is defining a standard library format. Libdir is close to working, but needs some additions to work for all libraries. One key thing to add to libdir is a shared library that is loaded first. Then when each objectclass is loaded from its individual file, the shared code will be available. * libfoo.so (loaded by '''pd''') * libfoo.tcl (loaded by '''pd-gui''') = Library Hierarchy = Generally, i + IOhannes think, that we should differentiate between different types of data on a high level rather than a low level. e.g. i would recommend '/math/+' and '/audio/math/+~', instead of '/math/audio/+~' (as shown below). The reasoning behind this is, that the disambiguation at a low level will quickly become unmaintainable (except for some very generic types like signals and floats; as soon as you would like to apply this schematics to library-defined types (like image-buffers in pdp & Gem or grids in GridFlow), hell will break loose. == References == * [http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-dev/2009-02/013069.html pd-dev-list discussion about categories] * [http://puredata.info/dev/summer-of-code/PdLib/ G Holzmann's suggestions for gos08] * [http://wiki.dataflow.ws/PdMtlAbstractions Pure Data Montréal abstrations] = Pd-vanilla = For reference, here is the list of categories in Pd-vanilla 0.42-4 (notice some inconsistencies in the names, that could be corrected). * glue * time * math * midi * tables * misc * audio math * audio glue * audio oscillators and tables * audio filters * audio delay * subwindows * data templates * acessing data * obsolete = Suggestions for the new category structure = == glue == Dumb question: why is this section called glue? Would it make more sense to be called control? Or is it a too obvious csound reference? * all objects from pd-vanilla's same category * '''glue/time''' - time operations + info * all objects from pd-vanilla's same category * cputime, realtime, timer * time, gmtime, localtime * timezone * date +%Y.%M.%D * '''glue/math''' - math operations * all objects from pd-vanilla's same category * cart2pol, rad2deg * FFT * convolution * '''math/list''' * '''math/matrix''' * '''glue/tables''' * all objects from pd-vanilla's same category * relevant objects from pd-vanilla's acessing data category * VASP == midi == * all objects from pd-vanilla's same category == object - objects for building objects == * float_argument, symbol_argument, any_argument * objects for handling dynamic patch generation == regexp - regular expressions == * regexp * regsub * pattern match == mapping - mapping data from inputs to outputs == * polar, spiral * one2two, one2three * lowpass == audio == Should this category be called signal instead of audio?

Perhaps this could be called "generators") * '''audio/tables''' * all objects from pd-vanilla's same category * '''audio/time''' * all objects from pd-vanilla's same category * '''audio/filter''' * all objects from pd-vanilla's same category * '''audio/reverb''' * yafr~, freeverb~, etc. * '''audio/synth''' * vocoder~, FM, karplus/strong, etc. == buffer - buffer data streams == why not join this category with glue/time? * pipe == data templates == * all objects from pd-vanilla's same category * relevant objects from pd-vanilla's acessing data category == graphics / video == * Gem * Pidip * Pdp * Framestein * Gridflow == gui - classes for building GUIs == * '''gui''' * vslider, hslider, bng, entry, knob, etc. * '''gui/audio''' * dsp, slider+vu, Scope~, sonogram~, etc * '''gui/file''' * playlist * '''TkWidget''' - Pd ports of the Tk widgets == file - file operations == * chdir, chroot, mkdir, rmdir * chmod, chown, umask * ls, glob, link * move, rename, copy, delete * get file info (data, perms, size, atime, mtime, etc) == io - handle IO from files and ports == * usb, serial, parallel * hid * qlist, text, xml, sql * mouse, joystick, gamepad, tablet * multio, arduino, miditron, memPIO == net - network primitives == * sockets * OSC, UPD * URIs * HTTP * streaming == databases - objects for using databases == * [[SQL]] a library for using SQL databases == misc == I suggest to deprecate this category from pd-van and divide the objects between other categories == subwindows == I suggest to deprecate this category from pd-van and divide the objects between other categories == obsolete == * all objects from pd-vanilla's same category ---- = Documentation = After (or while) restructuring the new categories for pd-ext objects, an automatized solution for the documentation should be found.

Then Baba explained:
"People weep at the sight of me and find themselves loving me even when they say they don't love God. It is because I am completely free of desires and am full of only love from head to foot. This inspires all to love me [a great deal]. Forgetting their differences of caste, creed and color, they love me.

Temperatures will climb to near record territory later today as weather some 20 degrees warmer than yesterday moves into the Stateline. High pressure has created a complete lack of clouds over the region which will combine with southerly winds to give some impressive warmth later. As a cold front moves into the area tomorrow, we will see a chance of some stronger storms in the early afternoon.
Remember to drink plenty of water today if you are outside celebrating the holiday or exercising. Don't forget the pets as well, especially if they have to be outdoors.

Rob Jobs
Before yesterday's shoot, I asked my assistant, Rob, to jump in as a test subject for lighting. The black shirt and glasses reminded me of the now very famous Albert Watson photo of Steve Jobs from the cover of the biography. So I had him mimic the pose.

The 111th World Series begins Tuesday night with the first of two games at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. The Royals' home park, it has hosted three World Series before — in 1980, 1985 and 2014 — while Citi Field, the site of Games 3 through 5, hosts its first. Here's a look at some of the off-the-field sights, sounds and connections between these infrequent rivals, who, through a scheduling quirk, will also meet on opening day next April 4 in Kansas City.
FIRST EXPANSION MATCHUP Major League Baseball first expanded in 1961, with the Mets joining the National League the next season and the Royals making their debut in the American League in 1969. That season, the Mets became the first N.L. expansion team to reach the World Series, and in 1980, the Royals became the first A.L. team to do it. Incredibly, though, this is the first World Series matchup ever between two expansion teams.
DOMINICAN DOMINANCE The Royals' top three starting pitchers — Johnny Cueto, Edinson Volquez and Yordano Ventura — are among the 76 natives of the Dominican Republic to pitch in the majors this year. The three have combined for 505 career starts, just barely more than the Mets' Bartolo Colon, the career leader in games started by a Dominican pitcher, with 467. Colon, who won the National League Championship Series clincher in relief, is seeking his first career appearance in the World Series.
PENNANTS PASSED DOWN Jerry Koosman got the final out of the Mets' first World Series championship, against Baltimore in 1969 (on a fly ball by the future Mets manager Davey Johnson). When the Mets traded Koosman to Minnesota after the 1978 season, they received a pitching prospect named Jesse Orosco, who went on to record the final out of the Mets' other championship, in 1986. The Mets' last two pennant winners also share a connection. When Mike Hampton, the most valuable player in the 2000 N.L.C.S., left as a free agent for Colorado, the Mets used their compensatory draft pick on a Virginia high school player named David Wright, who, of course, became the captain of the 2015 N.L. champions.
TRUE TO THE BLUE The Mets and the Royals both have clean, crisp uniforms with the same cap logos they have worn during their entire existence. (And, no, the Mets' interlocking N.Y. does not stand for Ned Yost.) Both teams have a classic script wordmark on their home jerseys that is essentially unchanged over time, and both committed the same fashion faux pas in the same era. The Royals wore alternate black jerseys from 2002 to 2005, during the period when the Mets wore the color often. The Mets, who wore black jerseys for Games 1 and 4 of the 2000 World Series against the Yankees, finally dropped black from their color scheme in 2012.
FUNNY FANS With Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Kevin James, Jimmy Kimmel and Jim Breuer, the Mets count plenty of comedians among their fans. Heck, Bill Maher is even a minority owner. But the Royals have a strong following in the comedy world, too. Paul Rudd, Jason Sudeikis, Eric Stonestreet and Rob Riggle are well known around Kauffman Stadium — and their fandom is not just recent.
"Nobody can dislike you for being a Royals fan," Rudd said in a 2011 interview on MLB.com. "People are like, 'Oh, that's cute.' But they're a team to be reckoned with — they will be."
OUTFIELD ATTRACTIONS Both ballparks have a distinctive feature just beyond the outfield fence — the Home Run Apple at Citi Field and the fountains at Kauffman Stadium. But the fan pavilions behind those attractions are really the place to be. Among other features at Citi Field, you'll find a Wiffle ball diamond, a dunk tank and, of course, Shake Shack. But the outfield plaza at "The K" is a virtual wonderland for young fans. Besides the usual baseball-themed interactive attractions, there is a playground, a carousel and a five-hole miniature golf course. And, naturally, a picnic area with a barbecue pit.
BALLPARK SONGS Paul McCartney and Billy Joel have played together at Citi Field, but it is Billy who gets the singalong every eighth inning when the loudspeakers play "Piano Man" — an odd choice redeemed a bit by the presence of a cheery Terry Collins on the scoreboard during the line "The manager gives me a smile." As upbeat ballpark songs go, it is hard to beat McCartney and the Beatles belting out "Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey," which plays at Kauffman Stadium after every Royals win. The Beatles opened with that song when they played at the old Municipal Stadium in 1964.
MASCOTS The last time these franchises won the World Series, neither had a mascot. The Mets had scrapped Mr. Met throughout the 1980s, reviving him in the mid-1990s around the time the Royals introduced Sluggerrr — yes, with three r's. Sluggerrr is a musclebound lion whose gold crown blends into his face in a Bart Simpson kind of way. Sluggerrr is 7 feet tall (two inches taller than Mr. Met), and seems more aggressive than his New York counterpart. According to the Mets' website, Mr. Met throws "T-shirts, Cracker Jacks, and great parties" — while the Royals' website says Sluggerrr throws "Hot dogs, T-shirts, and visiting fans out of the park!" The mascots, who follow each other on Twitter, have at least one thing in common: They both wear uniform number 00.
COMMON ALUMNI The teams could put together a solid rotation of pitchers who worked for both, including David Cone, Bret Saberhagen, Kevin Appier, Rick Reed and Glendon Rusch. The Royals' Game 4 starter in the A.L.C.S., Chris Young, pitched for the Mets in 2011 and 2012, and the Mets' hitting coach, Kevin Long, spent his eight-year minor league career with the Royals. Amos Otis hit .151 for the 1969 Mets and — after a regrettable trade for Joe Foy — made five All-Star teams for the Royals, spending several years playing for the Hall of Fame manager Whitey Herzog, who had overseen his development as the Mets' farm director. Other position players who wore both uniforms include Carlos Beltran, Jeff Francoeur and Gregg Jefferies. One player who spent his career exclusively with the teams is the former pitcher Brian Bannister, who sent this tweet after the matchup was set: "My #Mets jerseys have already started talking trash to my #Royals jerseys."

The New York State Department of Transportation has narrowed down its choices for rebuilding aging Interstate 81 in Syracuse to two options One option is a community grid as represented in the upper drawing. It reroutes through traffic around the city on Interstate 481 and sends vehicles with destinations in Syracuse onto city streets. A second option is to rebuild the viaduct. It is represented in the lower drawing.
(New York State Department of Transportation)
Syracuse, NY - New York state Department of Transportation officials say they want to hear from Central New York residents:
What do you think of the two plans under consideration on how to replace a 1.4-mile elevated section of Interstate 81 in downtown Syracuse?
On Thursday, state officials at a public meeting revealed the final two plans they are considering:
The state has been holding meeting for several years on what to do with the aging elevated section of I-81 that splits Syracuse.
The state is now planning six more meetings in different areas of Central New York. DOT staff will be present to explain the project and answer questions. Or people can submit written comments.

Litecoin (LTC) May Soon Collapse, Despite Bitcoin Divergence & Halving Hype
The Bitcoin & Litecoin Halvings
Just as Bitcoin (BTC) has so-called halvenings, Litecoin (LTC) does too. While the popular altcoin is different than its proverbial godfather, sporting a different block hashing algorithm, quicker block times, and a different focus, Litecoin has block reward reductions built in. Ever four years, the amount of LTC issued per block halves in an event known as a halving, halvening, or the more formal reduction in supply issuance/inflation.
Why Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, built this mechanism into his brainchild we do not know, but it likely has to do with the programmers supposed distaste towards centralized financial institutions, many of which have the ability to print money at will and without the publics explicit knowledge.
LTC Could Collapse From Here
Due to simple supply-demand economics, many are sure that as Litecoins halving nears for this August, LTC could surge. Per a number of analysts, however, Litecoin may be poised to collapse instead of rally to the 'moon'. In a recent tweet, Brave New Coin's Josh Olszewicz suggested that the asset's one-day chart isn't looking all too hot.
He explains that the asset is currently in the midst of a rising wedge, and has also seen a bearish divergence in its Relative Strength Index (RSI). This, coupled with the fact that LTC has strayed far above its 200-day exponential moving average makes Olszewicz believe that death, meaning a collapse to $55-$70 range, might be "imminent".

RW + bear div
death looking imminent
support near 55-70
article on Chikun coming later this week for @bravenewcoin pic.twitter.com/A7jNSZgh7c
The analyst isn't the first to have brought this up. Nunya Bizniz, an analyst and commentator that recently claimed that the Bitcoin bull run is most likely on notes that if history is of any guide, Litecoin is on the verge of collapse.
As seen below, LTC rallied by 700% from the bottom to its peak during 176 days in 2015, then collapsed into its halving. The odd thing is, Litecoin has just completed that exact pattern, rallying 700% in the past six-odd months. Barring that historical trends don't hold up today, Litecoin could fall back down to double-digits in the coming months.
Litecoin - Cuidado! pic.twitter.com/opbAF29zMT— Nunya Bizniz (@Pladizow) June 7, 2019
Some have been a tad more optimistic, though. According to a recent tweet from analyst Financial Survivalism, Litecoin still has a lot of room to run. He notes that prior to the cryptocurrencys previous block reward reduction, LTC rallied strongly against Bitcoin, eventually finding a parabolic peak right after the auspicious event.
If historical trends hold up this time around, LTC will continue to rally against BTC potentially doubling from 0.0148 where it is now to around 0.0270 in the coming three-odd months. If Bitcoin continues higher from here, this rally in the altcoin could translate into a $250+ Litecoin by the time of the halving.

The Glycosaminoglycans , Also known as mucopolysaccharides, are glucose structures, with a function of structural biomolecules that we can find mainly in connective tissue, bone tissue, intercellular medium and epithelial tissue.
They are long chains of complex polysaccharides or proteoglycans, composed of repetitive disaccharide units.
Glycosaminoglycans are highly polar and have the capacity to attract water, so they are suitable for the biological functions they perform. They are also used as lubricants or to absorb impacts. Each is composed of hexosamine and a hexose, or hyaluronic acid.
Glycosaminoglycans are the major component of the extracellular matrix of the molecules in animal tissues and play a fundamental role in different physiological events. Not only can we find these compounds in vertebrates, but also in many invertebrates. Its function is conservation in the animal kingdom.
Several sulfated structures of heparin, a glycosaminoglycan found in the liver, skin and lung, can be found in different types of organisms, from the most primitive to humans. This determines their active and fundamental participation in biological processes.
In the case of hyaluronic acid, the human organism is present in the umbilical cord, connective tissue, synovial fluid, cartilage, blood vessels and vitreous humor (the gelatinous mass that lies between the lens and the retina in the eye); While in nature it only exists in molluscs.
Another difference is that chondroitin sulphate in the organism exists in bone and cartilage tissues, whereas in other less evolved animals it is limited, depending on the structural complexity of the individual and its association with certain functions.
Presence of glycosaminoglycans
In nature, we find glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) with fundamental functions in cell growth, differentiation, cell migration, morphogenesis, and viral or bacterial infections.
In vertebrates, the major glycosaminoglycans are heparin or heparin sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and hyaluronic acid. All of these GAG's are confirmed by chains alternating units of an amino sugar and a hyaluronic acid, which may be glucuronic acid or iduronic acid.
On the other hand, the amino sugar units may be N-acetylglucosamine or N-acetylgalactosamine.
Although the pillars of GAG's are usually always the same, polysaccharides, the repetitive lines of heparin and chondroitin sulfate chains require a considerable degree of structural variation.
This is due to the constant modifications that include sulphation and epemerization of the uronates, constituting the bases of the wide variety of structures with biological activities related to GAG's.
The presence of these biomolecules in nature, both vertebrate and invertebrate, has been well documented. In contrast, GAGs have never been found in plants.
In some bacterial chains polysaccharides synthesized with the same pillar structure as the GAGs are observed, but these similar polysaccharides are not bound to core proteins and are only produced on the inner surface of the cytoplasmic membrane.
In the case of GAGs in animal cells, they are added to the protein nuclei and form the proteoglycans. Thus, bacterial polysaccharides are different.
There is a wide structural variety in GAG's belonging to vertebrates. From fish and amphibians to mammals, the structure of these biomolecules is extremely heterogeneous.
The biosynthesis of the structural complex of the GAGs is regulated and the different patterns of sulfation are formed in an organ and in a specific tissue, temporarily during growth and development.
In fact, mutation defects in many genes of the biosynthetic enzymes of GAG's have severe consequences on vertebrate organisms. This is why the expression of GAG's and their specific sulfated structures play a fundamental role in life.
Functions of glycosaminoglycans
Their function is essential since they are fundamental components of the connective tissues, and the chains of GAG's are linked through covalent bonds to other proteins like cytokines and chemokines.
Another characteristic is that they are linked to antithrombin, a protein related to the coagulation process, so they can inhibit this function, which makes them essential in cases of treatment for thrombosis, for example.
This is also interesting in the field of cancer research. By being able to inhibit the binding of the GAG's proteins, it can stop the process of this disease or others such as inflammatory processes and infectious diseases, where GAG's act as receptors for some viruses, such as dengue, flavivirus type.
The GAG's also belong to the three components of the dermis, the layer under the epidermis of the skin, along with collagen and elastin. These three elements form the system known as the extracellular matrix, which allows, among other things, tissue regeneration and elimination of toxins from the body.
GAG's are substances that draw water into the deeper layers of the skin. One of the best known glycosaminoglycans is hyaluronic acid, present in multiple anti-aging and skin care products. The idea of these creams, lotions and tonics is to increase hydration in the skin reducing wrinkles and lines of expression.
In addition to being able to retain water, GAG's also have high viscosity and low understanding, making them ideal for protecting joints of bones in joints.
This is why synovial fluid, articular cartilage, heart valves (chondroitin sulfate, the most abundant GAG in the body), skin, pulmonary arteries and liver (heparin, which has an anticoagulant function), tendons and lungs (Dermatan sulfate) and cornea and bones (keratan sulfate).

Apple has announced the Apple Watch Series 4. It's the first real redesign of the wearable since Apple introduced it in 2014, but the changes aren't so drastic that you won't recognize it as an Apple Watch. The Series 4 comes with an upgraded display, and you can choose either a 40mm or 44mm model. Even though the screens on the new models are bigger, the overall body of the Watch is roughly the same as previous models, so you shouldn't notice much of a difference on your wrist.
Flaws but not dealbreakers: The Apple Watch requires an iPhone—if you have another kind of phone, you're out of luck. While good Apple Watch apps are better than what you get for Android smartwatches, many are still very limited compared with their phone counterparts. And it can get annoying how aggressively the Apple Watch turns off its screen (to save energy) whenever it senses you've put your arm down.
At the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show, a large number of new smartwatches were released from various companies such as Razer Inc,[67] Archos,[68] and several other companies, as well as a few startups. Some had begun to call the 2014 CES, a "wrist revolution"[69] because of the number of smartwatches released and the huge amount of publicity they began to receive at the start of 2014. At Google I/O on 25 June 2014, the Android Wear platform was introduced and the LG G Watch and Samsung Gear Live were released. The Wear-based Moto 360 was announced by Motorola in 2014.[70] At the end of July, Swatch's CEO Nick Hayek announced that they will launch a Swatch Touch with smartwatch technologies in 2015.[71] In the UK, the Wearable Technology Show had its début in London and was host to several smartwatch companies exhibiting their newest models.
The operating system you choose depends solely on the type of smartphone you have because the smart watch is paired with your smartphone. If you own an Android smartphone, your smart watch should have Android Wear or Tizen. If you own an iPhone, choose an Apple Watch. For example, the Samsung Gear S3 runs Tizen and is compatible with both the Android and iPhone.
The watch also has a new 1.2-inch 390×390 display which is a full circle and OLED this time around, providing punchier colors compared to the previous WSD-F20. It also still packs the dual-display technology with a special mode that turns off Wear OS and can provide up to 4 weeks of battery life. Standard usage will last around 1-1.5 days of use on a charge while a new "Extend" mode provides up to 3 days while using offline maps and GPS. Pricing lands at $549 and the watch will be available in January.
The new Diesel Full Guard 2.5 has a 47mmx56mm casing which is bigger than most Wear OS watches, and there's a 1.39-inch display at the center of that. This new refresh of the watch also includes NFC for Google Pay support, a heart rate sensor, and built-in GPS. Diesel also says this watch will last two days on a charge from the 300mAh battery. The watch also has 3ATM water resistance.
It has all the same core fitness and sports tracking as the Series 3, including built-in GPS and a swimproof design. You can also expect improvements in run tracking and new supported activities like yoga and hiking. It comes packing LTE once again so you can take it out sans iPhone and still make/receive calls, get texts and all other notifications you would on your phone. A new speaker should also make Siri chats and phone calls sound louder and clearer.
Samsung's new Galaxy Watch is the one to get if you need a smartwatch that can do it all. In our full review, we mentioned that it's a fantastic all-around smartwatch, fitness, and health tracker. It has a great display, solid build, comes with Samsung Pay support, and offers wireless charging. Plus, the Tizen operating system has tons of great apps and watch faces.
Samsung Gear S3 Frontier: Until we see what Google can pack into a smartwatch with its long-awaited Pixel Watch, the best smartwatch for Android users is the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier. It pretty much has everything a user with an Android phone needs in a smartwatch - GPS, heart rate monitor, water resistance, near field communications, an always-on digital display, messaging alerts and app support. I don't see a real need to opt for the 3G version yet, which would untether you from your phone completely but adds around $100 to the price. ($549)
No other smartwatch offers this much variety and customization, especially when it comes to female-friendly options. The Apple Watch is the only smartwatch I've ever worn regularly each day for months on end. I've reviewed dozens of WearOS watches, and although many of them are nice looking as well, they're not as fully featured or easy to use as the Apple Watch.
The Explorist and Venture cases are an average thickness for a round smartwatch (at 12.5 and 11.5 millimeters, respectively), with widths of 45 mm and 42 mm, respectively. Neither watch feels too heavy or awkward on a larger wrist, though even the smaller Venture watch is still quite chunky on a smaller wrist. Each model's battery regularly lasted a whole day in our testing, and the voice-dictation functions are on a par with those of most smartwatches; the same goes for Google Assistant's accuracy. Both watches and their Google Fit system track day-to-day activity, and although Wear OS apps don't have quite the buy-in from app makers that the Apple Watch does, you can likely find your favorite apps in Google's Play Store, and most phone apps provide rich notifications that you can interact with through the watch. Both show signs of good build quality, with thoughtful attention to detail on all surfaces and no cheap connectors or pieces.
The Charge 3 works continuously throughout the day to track steps, distance, calories, floors climbed, and heart rate—the standard array of activity data. Fitbit has been tracking these metrics for so long, without making many significant updates as of late, that they are business as usual on the Charge 3. I appreciated that most of the watch faces available for the Charge 3 show your real-time heart rate, either in a corner or at the bottom of the rectangular display. I like being able to glance down and know my pulse.
If you wear the Q Explorist close to your hand, its case size and protruding center button can activate when you bend your wrist back, or if you're wearing thicker gloves. The worst that happens is that Google Assistant is activated, and it either does nothing or tries to ask Google whatever nonsense the microphone picks up inadvertently. That can be annoying, and may cause you to size your watch band a bit larger, so the watch sits up your arm a bit more, clear of your wrist joint. Sadly, Wear OS lacks a "left-handed mode" to allow for turning the watch and its gestures the other direction.
For most people, the most useful thing a smartwatch can do is relay phone notifications to your wrist so you can check them without having to pull out and wake up your handset. You can still be distracted by whatever is buzzing you, but it's easier to quickly see whether something is important or not. Often you can interact with that notification—by acknowledging it, dismissing it, or replying to a message with voice dictation, a pre-written response, or (awkward) finger typing or swiping—right on the watch.
As you'd expect, it has GPS and GLONASS alongside a heart rate monitor to bolster its fitness credentials. Other features include offline Spotify support, which is great for anyone who wants music without having to carry along their phone. Tizen is currently the only watch operating system to offer offline Spotify, too. Unfortunately, Tizen app support is otherwise lacking compared to rivals.
The new Diesel Full Guard 2.5 has a 47mmx56mm casing which is bigger than most Wear OS watches, and there's a 1.39-inch display at the center of that. This new refresh of the watch also includes NFC for Google Pay support, a heart rate sensor, and built-in GPS. Diesel also says this watch will last two days on a charge from the 300mAh battery. The watch also has 3ATM water resistance.
To round off the Gear Sport's positives, it has very solid battery life (almost never less than 50 percent of the battery remaining after a full day), it can play offline Spotify playlists (even for free accounts), and if you have a Samsung phone, it integrates easily with most of the apps you have installed there. The Gear Sport is easier to set up with a non-Samsung Android phone than previous versions of the Gear watch, too. It still requires the installation of at least four apps and some regular updating, but it's not the hour-long trial-and-error of other Gear watches we've tested, working reliably in our testing.
While testing the Q Venture, we found the response time to be pretty solid when it came to calls and notifications. The typical response time for a notification was somewhere around 10 seconds. We were, however, able to immediately ignore calls. This quick response time should give you plenty of time to retrieve your phone from your pocket or fish it out of your purse.
The Apple Watch Series 4 is now on sale, and it's the best smartwatch you can buy right now. The redesigned device, which starts at $399 for the GPS model and $499 for the cellular version, is the best smartwatch you can buy. It has a larger display and slightly bigger case size while retaining the same rounded square design the watch is known for. Even more importantly, Apple received FDA clearance for a new electrocardiogram feature that can take a 30-second EKG and diagnose atrial fibrillation.

L Irish 15 Cardiff 22: Toby Booth voices fears
Toby Booth, the London Irish director of rugby, surveyed the wreckage of another failed European campaign and voiced fears that future sorties could prove just as frustrating and unsuccessful without the financial firepower to compete with some of the top sides.
Booth also issued a plea for "common sense" from the IRB over the Steven Shingler conundrum that Booth claims is upsetting the player and could "open a can of worms".
A special presentation to mark his ten years' service lifted Booth's spirits before kick-off on Saturday, but that joy was replaced by the disappointment of a Heineken Cup exit thanks to Sam Warburton's try and Leigh Halfpenny's 17 points with the boot.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10
Samsung Galaxy Note 10, the following emphasis of Samsung flagship phablet, is a decent three-four months from being authentic. Be that as it may, the talking plant is very humming as a few renders of the forthcoming device crowd the web.
What's more, to the extent our first impression is concerned, Galaxy Note 10 looks to some extent like the Galaxy S10 5G model.
|Samsung Galaxy Note 10
Samsung Galaxy Note 10: Initially (Design and Display)
According to the renders, Note 10 will hold the structure of Galaxy S10 to include a pill-molded camera opening, a bezel-less screen, and an all-glass plan.
On the backside, it will brandish a quad camera exhibit much like the S10 5G.
And keeping in mind that the screening estimate stays unsure, the gadget will accompany a Dynamic AMOLED display and an in-screen ultra-sonic unique fingerprint sensor.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10: Camera set up
Galaxy Note 10 is probably going to accompany indistinguishable camera optics from the S10 5G.
Along these lines, the camera cluster may offer a 12MP (f/1.5-f/2.4) primary sensor with double pixel OIS, a 12MP (f/2.4) telephoto sensor with OIS and autofocus, a 16MP (f/2.2) ultra-wide point sensor, and a 3D depth sensor.
In advance, the phablet is required to have a 10MP+8MP camera set up.
Galaxy Note 10 processor
Inside, Note 10 could be particularly similar to the S10+ with a Snapdragon 855/Exynos 9820 processor, up to 12GB of RAM and up to 1TB of installed storage.
In any case, the capacity configuration will no doubt be UFS 3.0 which is available on Galaxy Fold yet missing on S10 flagships.
In the engine, it can expect a 4500mAh battery with help for two-way wireless charging.
Galaxy Note 10: Price and availability
It can expect Samsung will launch Note 10 at around August this year, as we know that the Galaxy Note 9 also came last year same month. With respect to evaluating, the flagship phablet should come at the beginning cost of $1,000.

How to cook barley porridge in multicookings? How to make it delicious? What are the secrets of loose stuffing, and gentle child "nincompoop"? Is it possible to do with accou a full dinner with meat? Proposed solutions to these issues and easy recipes for your slow cooker.
1 hour. 3 portions. Easy to prepare
Barley grits are largely "the". It owns the right to be called the very first mess in the history of mankind. It is made from barley, this cereal was cultivated first civilizations thousands of years ago.
It is the most useful grains, and this is no exaggeration. Barley porridge in the amount of coarse fibers ahead of it in the oatmeal and buckwheat. Finally, it is the cheapest. Price unattractive appearance of gray grits minimal that it is usually not taken seriously by the hostess. And in vain, because to learn to cook — not art. And help us at this multicooker.
Fine cooking
The basis for the luxurious taste of barley porridge is boiling, and vexation. During this process mass is treated with steam. Temperature of steam is higher than water when boiling, which allows the rump to fully soften, become tender and develop their aroma.
In Russia accou of crushed barley and was laid in a clay cauldron, put in the oven and tightly closed the lid. Krupa languished for a long time, up to 2 hours, despite the fine grind. Serve it with butter, often supplemented zazharku of onion and meat. Use classic recipes, but reduce cooking time, allows the modern slow cooker.
Barley porridge in multivarka prepared in compliance with the classical techniques: boil, the mass gives a vapor, after which the temperature of the heater is lowered. The mass does not boil, languishing, and the limited space of the bowl increases the rate of dopravni cereals. To reach preparedness in the kitchen unit she can in an hour.
Other subtleties of cooking.
- Use a dry rump. When buying, pay attention to how it falls out in the package. If the mass of wet, refrain from purchase. In such a are often spread bacteria and harmful mold.
- Rinse before cooking. Despite the fine grind, this should be done, because the grain before crushing blankets of dust. It is convenient to wash the nibs in the sieve as you wash away dirt and will give excess water to drain.

MBIA Inc (NYSE:MBI), a insurance company based in United States, saw significant share price volatility over the past couple of months on the NYSE, rising to the highs of $10.55 and falling to the lows of $8.87. This high level of volatility gives investors the opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at an artificially low price. A question to answer is whether MBI's current trading price of $9.65 reflective of the actual value of the small-cap? Or is it currently undervalued, providing us with the opportunity to buy? Let's take a look at MBI's outlook and value based on the most recent financial data to see if there are any catalysts for a price change. See our latest analysis for MBI
What is MBI worth?
According to my relative valuation model, MBI seems to be currently fairly priced. I've used the price-to-book ratio in this instance because there's not enough visibility to forecast its cash flows, and its earnings doesn't seem to reflect its true value. The stock's ratio of 0.6x is currently trading slightly below its industry peers' ratio of 2x, which means if you buy MBI today, you'd be paying a relatively fair price for it. And if you believe that MBI should be trading at this level in the long run, then there's not much of an upside to gain from mispricing. So, is there another chance to buy low in the future? Given that MBI's share is fairly volatile (i.e. its price movements are magnified relative to the rest of the market) this could mean the price can sink lower, giving us an opportunity to buy later on. This is based on its high beta, which is a good indicator for share price volatility.
Can we expect growth from MBI?
Future outlook is an important aspect when you're looking at buying a stock, especially if you are an investor looking for growth in your portfolio.Buying a great company with a robust outlook at a cheap price is always a good investment, so let's also take a look at MBI future expectations. With profit expected to grow by 55.22% over the next year, the near-term future seems bright for MBI. It looks like higher cash flows is on the cards for the stock, which should feed into a higher share valuation.
What this means for you:
Are you a shareholder? It seems like the market has already priced in MBI's positive outlook, with shares trading around its fair value. However, there are also other important factors which we haven't considered today, such as the financial strength of the company. Have these factors changed since the last time you looked at MBI? Will you have enough confidence to invest in the company should the price drop below its fair value?
Are you a potential investor? If you've been keeping tabs on MBI, now may not be the most advantageous time to buy, given it is trading around its fair value. However, the optimistic prospect is encouraging for MBI, which means it's worth diving deeper into other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop.
Price is just the tip of the iceberg. Dig deeper into what truly matters – the fundamentals – before you make a decision on MBIA. You can find everything you need to know about MBI in the latest infographic research report. If you are no longer interested in MBIA, you can use our free platform to see my list of over 50 other stocks with a high growth potential.
To help readers see pass the short term volatility of the financial market, we aim to bring you a long-term focused research analysis purely driven by fundamental data. Note that our analysis does not factor in the latest price sensitive company announcements.

Trump has surrounded himself with parasitic subordinates. We must watch while more children sicken and die in caged border detention camps. We must watch while the pesident sucks the compassion, empathy and protectiveness out of Lady Liberty. We must watch while Trump, Putin, Kim and their flatworm kin suck the life-blood out of their countries. We must watch while Trump drinks dry the souls of Republican leaders until they become mindless zombies blindly following Trump�s bigotries. May God grant us love, caring and hope, because Trump gives us contempt, superiority and victims.

Beryl, and deep blues, whites and kelp,
surf grass, grains of sand,
Beaches are empty but for friends.
Shimmer and the sunset
gathering in her gives us purpose gives us
It is gratitude for life
for the awareness of being,
She is the infinite abundant source for us.
We are aware of her reality constantly,
her callings and her caresses.
She sees without seeing
and knows without knowing.
As our solemnity with her increases,
She rages;
her wetness
her stillness
her softness
We bring our goals to her,
we bring our burdens to her
we bring our dreams to her,
to forget
we slide, race and vibrate in her
to create ourselves.
Her arms caress us, tickle us.
God created her for us,
And SHE smiles
blue and brilliant.

Over the last few decades, as the field of psychology has moved toward evidence-based practice, there has been more attention in the media about the increasing adoption of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) over other methods of treatment. Since there has been more importance placed on treatments with research support, there has been a flood of new research available to guide clinicians and patients to the most effective treatments for psychological problems. In study after study CBT stands out as the most effective treatment for numerous mental health issues. Furthermore, CBT treatments are usually of shorter duration, and the results are more enduring than those of other treatment methods (www.cogbtherapy.com).
Does CBT Work?
CBT: Maybe not the Cure for all Ills?
An interesting article in The Guardian newspaper takes some of the shine off Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Copy and paste the link below to read:
Greeks vs. Germans: Politics or Psychology?
While the Euro and Grexit have been headline news for some time, a few comments have suggested that the Greeks have been behaving in a childlike way, for example, Leo Varadkar compared the Greek government to a students' union. There may be something to that view, because Sigmund Freud said that all boys must go through the Oedipal phase, which involves rebelling against the father, and attempting to dominate. From Freud's point of view, it is important that the child fail in this rebellious attempt and instead identify with his father. In that way, society hands on the role of parent from one generation to another. We know that sometimes when a boy's father is absent from the home, he can go off the tracks for the want of a male authority figure in the house.
The Greeks' attempt to take on the Germans and their resulting defeat by Angela Merkel seems to mirror that process very closely. It there is any truth to this interpretation of events, we should find that the Greeks will ultimately become model EU citizens. Watch this space!
Hobbies and Well Being

Cóilín will be among the guests interviewed by Cian Mac Cormac, and he will discuss the psychological underpinnings which explain the importance of pastimes for our minds.

I will a talk on Thursday October 10th, 2013 in the Temple Gate hotel, beginning at approximately 8pm. My talk will describe and explain what mindfulness is, how is can help with mental health, and I will guide the audience through a mindfulness meditative technique. The mindfulness piece is part of Mental Health Ireland Awareness week
Self-Identity: The Need for Clarity
Most of the time, we are happy enough with our lives and with who we are. A crisis can, however, can cause us to question what life is all about. Who am I, really? If fact, we all have an identity, which is usually based on a mixture of nationality, religion (or none), family values, and broader cultural values. Usually, out identity is taken on board gradually without any conscious effort on out part. That is why it can be difficult to answer the question: ' Who am I?' Go ahead, take out a sheet of paper and try it!
Not easy, is it? The interesting thing about identity is that identity is constructed, that is, we make it up. Identity is not a cut and dried fact; it is essentially a choice and if you want to change some aspects of your current beliefs and values, then you can. As we journey across the lifespan, changes tend to occur anyway, because different stages of life have different goals and priorities attached.
You can, nonetheless, re-evaluate your life at any time and walk down a different road if you wish…..
Autobiography in 5 Verses
1) I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the footpath.
I fall in.
I am lost… I am hopeless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
2) I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the footpath.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I'm in the same place.
But it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
3) I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the footpath
I see it is there.
I still fall in… it's a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.
4) I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the footpath.
I walk around it.
5) I walk down a different street.

Anger Management
Unresolved anger is an increasingly common issue in my practice with clients attracted to the concept of 'managing anger.' However, should anger be managed as if it were an incurable illness of some kind? Certainly, inappropriate outbursts of anger need to be contained, but in my view anger needs to be resolved more so than managed.
In theory, we only become angry if we feel threatened in some way. Therefore, the pathway is; threat > fear > anger. In other words, we feel threatened in some way, then we become afraid, and finally anger follows as a means of defending against the perceived threat. In primitive times, this system allowed to survive in a hostile environment.
In modern times, anger can be an over-reaction and threats are not necessarily physical. Bullying is very threatening to a person's self-esteem, even when the bullying consists of social exclusion, i.e., being left out. Rumours about one's reputation can be threatening. In these cases excessive anger is not always helpful, yet anger must be released somehow or other.
In counselling, you can learn to understand your susceptibility to anger more clearly, see if it links to past experiences, find safe appropriate ways to release your anger, and learn how to cope with anger as it arises rather than let it build up. Anger management is, as you can see, only one part of a long-term solution.
What Are Panic Attacks?
Panic or anxiety attacks are sudden unexplained bouts of fear, which cause the person to perspire, shake and want to escape the immediate environment. There may also be heart palpitations and chest pain, which are symptoms that can be confused with a heart attack. Consequently, panic attacks (especially the first one) can be very frightening, and medical attention may be sought.
The cause of anxiety attacks can be difficult to ascertain, but Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an effective type of treatment, nonetheless. CBT helps the client learn to manage anxiety and reduce the impact of an attack. Early warning signs can by noticed and relaxation exercises can prevent the anxiety attack developing further.
It is also sometimes possible to determine the cause of panic attacks by noticing patterns in the antecedents to attacks. That is, noticing what happened before the attacks. Antecedents can give clues to possible underlying emotion issues.
What Causes Depression?
Sometimes depression is caused by an obvious trigger such as bereavement or a relationship break-up. However, there is not always an apparent reason for becoming depressed. Depression can be caused by bottling-up old emotional wounds and by avoiding emotional pain when it is appropriate and necessary to do so.
Perhaps, after a break-up you immediately enter another relationship to avoid feeling the loss of the old one? If you re-bound several times over the years, a lot of emotional baggage may build-up, and eventually cause depression.
Another example is the person who has had a very unhappy childhood, but who put on a brave face and compensated by being very successful in life, only to find that life seems empty and pointless. Depression can follow such a significant disappointment. However, the link to the person's past may not be obvious.
Counselling for depression involves exploring the past and making links between what happening now, and those past wounds that might have been triggered by the current situation. Therapy for depression is usually very successful in treating depression of this kind.
What is Play Therapy?
A recent conference in Dublin hosted by the Children's Therapy Centre underlined the growing awareness of the use of play in therapy for children. But what is play therapy exactly? Play therapy is a type of counselling designed specifically for children. It involves the child playing in a specially designed play room while the therapist pays close attention to the play and joins in, when invited. The child is fully in charge of the play, and the play therapist only intervenes if safety becomes an issue. The parent usually waits in an adjoining waiting room.
We use play therapy rather than 'talk therapy,' because in order to engage children in a manner which will be attractive to them, a methodology is required which does not involve long discussions as we do with adults. Instead, the most appropriate method likely to achieve these goals is non-directive play therapy.
The rationale underlying the use of play as psychotherapy is that; a) play is the most natural and spontaneous form of expression among children, and b) children openly use play as a tool toward developmental maturation. In other word, children can play and they like to play.
In the case of social, emotional or behavioural difficulties, play is used as a reparative technique by children in an unconscious manner. That is, the problem or developmental delay is repaired indirectly without your child having to talk about the issue.
Play therapy, therefore, facilitates change by allowing children, via symbolic activity, to attend to issues at a perceived distance. In that way, awareness may be directed towards the problem in a manner which does not increase anxiety. The use of play as therapy is, consequently, a respectful and non-invasive means of intervening to overcome developmental delays or resolve emotional disturbance.
An example of symbolic play is a child acting out a family scene with toy people or puppets. The activity, which seems to be a game, may also have some relevance to anxieties around change in the family at home.

"I think sometimes zoning rules are a hindrance. It's something that needs a lot of care and consideration." — Elizabeth Mugrage, Mount Vernon
"That's really complicated. On the one hand, if you say yes there should be a limit, then there might be some people who really need to be there but can't. But then if you say no there shouldn't be a limit, then that would open it up to some sort of abuse of them packing as many in there as they could."
Mark Grinstein-Camacho, Mount Vernon
"No. I think they should leave it the way it is — and then add more houses."
