Robert Pinget Long Fiction Analysis
(Survey of Novels and Novellas)
Three major unifying threads run through Robert Pinget's absorbing and outlandish fictional world. Most obviously, in terms of its overall structure, Pinget's writings unfold as corollaries to his unstated underlying belief that all writing comes to life as a sort of parallel song, a para odos, reacting to what has been written before. The second aspect of Pinget's work that catches the reader's attention is a fascination with the paradox of the potential and limits of language. Finally, Pinget is one of the very few writers of modern avant-grade French prose who possesses and displays what English-speaking readers could recognize as a sense of humor.
The years immediately preceding and following the...

Demanufacturing Consent: More Money, More Problems – The Economics of the "War on Drugs"
Traces of Reality
July 19, 2013
More Money, More Problems – The Economics of the "War on Drugs" with Dr. Mark Thornton
On this edition of Demanufacturing Consent, Guillermo welcomes Dr. Mark Thornton of the Ludwig Von Mises Institute onto the show. Dr. Thornton and Guillermo discuss the "Economics of Prohibition" by examining the economics forces at work within "black markets," who really stands to gain financially from prohibition, and the potential benefits on society that would come by putting an end to the abject failure that is the "war on drugs."
What does an end to the drug war mean for the police state in America? What is nullification and what makes it a viable solution? All this and much, much more on today's episode.

Hello there, all you lovely small-living enthusiasts! So happy to have you over at Smallish. 🙂
My heart is budding with much to share with you about Shoebox living, but there is just not enough time! My "off" minutes are far and in between, and now that you know I'm growing another baby, you can be assured that my energy and ability to, well, stay awake are limited. 🙂 But I'm trying! Today I'm thinking back over the past four and a half years and remembering what helped us make this home work for us in each season.
We finally know for sure that the Shoebox is too small for our family. That realization arrived a couple months ago with both a sigh of relief and a pang of disappointment. Relief, because there is some comfort in the finality of knowing that our stage in this apartment is at an end. Disappointment, because we truly love it here. These chipped and splattered walls have watched our family grow from two people to nearly six. I tear up when I imagine the furniture and noises gone and the carpet spotless. (Well, ok. Let's not go that far; spotless carpet brings happy tears to my eyes.) 🙂
It is time for a new home because some fragments of life just aren't really working well anymore. Family dining is one. There is simply not enough space for our whole family to gather around the table for meals, which is a very important part(s) of our day. Since before Christmas either Caveman or I have had to share a seat with one of the boys during meals. While we like to be close to our children, we also prefer to have enough room to keep our elbows out of their soup.
We looked into alternative options and ways that we could arrange the furniture to create more dining space, but we didn't find a workable budget-friendly solution that would be worth it. This ongoing process of evaluating a living "system" is a big part of why the Shoebox has been so livable the past few years.
This ongoing process of evaluating a living "system" is a big part of why the Shoebox has been so livable the past few years.
You see, with every year we resigned the lease, we overhauled an area to work better for us, to accommodate our tweaked style or rhythm of living.
One year it was the patio. We spruced up the outside, added some mulch and updated this cute patio set to render the entry more inviting and enjoyable for us to use.
Another year we upped storage area by putting shelving units up in the kids' room. These shelves house diapers, socks, and other odds and ends.
Another year we changed our "office" station to better suit our needs. This is what it looks like now, by the way. Usually underneath the desk is where the diaper bag and the "to sell/donate" pile sits.
Throughout the year when we identified a system that was making life difficult or an area that needed desperate reorganization, we'd evaluate the current need and then fix the area. Actually the words "identify" and "evaluate" sound a little too scientific. The "process" is as simple as getting rid of a lot of stuff and/or figuring out how to better organize the stuff that you do need to keep.
Perhaps you're thinking of a spot in your own home that needs a fix to make it work better. If so, plan a time this week to purge and organize. 🙂
Nothing coming to mind right away? That's good. But just in case, think through these important home "stations" that often get overlooked in the throes of daily schedules:
- Landing/ entry
- Bathroom storage
- Kitchen counters
- Pantry
- Dining area/ eating nook
- Sleeping arrangements
- Closets/ clothing storage
- Diaper storage/ changing area
- Outside/ usable patio or deck space
Be intentional about how you use your space!
Chances are if you just reevaluate and update one area, your whole home will feel more like a haven and less like a cave of "have-to-do's". And just like that, your home will be begin to work for you, one area at a time. 🙂

Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP)
"Making an Impact on U.S. Manufacturing"
Headquartered in Gaithersburg, MD, the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) is a public/private partnership that works with small and midsized U.S. manufacturers to create and retain jobs, increase profits, save time and money, develop new customers, and expand into new markets.
Founded in 1988, MEP is a nationwide network of more than 1,200 technical experts, - located in every state - serving as trusted business advisors, focused on transforming U.S. manufacturers to compete globally, support supply chain integration, and provide access to technology for improved productivity. Enterprise Minnesota serves as Minnesota's MEP affiliate center.
As a public/private partnership, MEP delivers a high return on investment to taxpayers. For every one dollar of federal investment, the MEP generates nearly $19 in new sales growth and $21 in new client investment. This translates into $2.2 billion in new sales annually. For every $1,978 of federal investment, MEP creates or retains one manufacturing job.
In the last fiscal year alone NIST/MEP has had the following impacts:
- Served 30,131 manufacturers
- Created or retained 62,703 jobs
- $8.4 Billion in new and retained sales
- $1.2 Billion in cost savings
- $2.5 Billion in client investments
To see the impact MEP has made since its inception over 25 years ago, check out this infographic.

To keep your GPA as high as possible, study the schedule of classes carefully, and note the add/drop deadlines, as well as the requirements for changing a grade.

1st Quarter Schedule (2018)
REGISTER HERE - February 8
Description: We live in a VUCA world of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. To thrive as a leader in a VUCA world, we must lead in the constructive tension between healthy relationships and dynamic change. Servant Leadership provides the right philosophical framework for leading in this environment. This webinar will provide a practical roadmap for how to create a real and sustainable culture built on the foundation of servant leadership principles.
Will qualify for 1 hour of elective credit for the Municipal Governance Institute (*MGI).
REGISTER HERE- February 20
Description: This webinar analyzes the saga of governing the world of risk management and claims administration from a Missouri municipality's standpoint. As our communities change over time, our residents expect local government to buck the stereotype of a slow-moving, monolithic object. Where some activities, due to high frequency/severity, dictate that municipalities contract out the specific tasks, other activities, due to low frequency/severity, allow for a more modest, managed approach. We will sift through various high-level and in-the-trenches aspects to assist in understanding which approach could be better for your municipality depending upon the service rendered.
Will qualify for 1 hour of liability and risk credit in the Municipal Governance Institute (*MGI).
REGISTER HERE - March 6
Description: This session will cover fundamental sunshine law concepts to help you ensure compliance and avoid penalties and liability. Topics will include what constitutes a meeting and what notice is required, your obligations when responding to records requests, as well as the exceptions that allow a public governmental body to close a meeting, record or vote. We will also cover recent developments in statutes and case law.
Will qualify for 1 hour of sunshine law credit in the Municipal Governance Institute (*MGI).
REGISTER HERE - March 22
Description: We are seeing a lot of distrust and anger on the news. Communities are fighting over statues, raging over police behavior, and posting "me too" on their social media. Indeed, we are in an emotional time right now. With all this focus on sexual harassment and racism, we've missed one very crucial behavior that has to stop too: workplace bullying.
Workplace bullying is aggressive communication, humiliation and manipulation that results in depression, anxiety, and stress for targets and witnesses. It harms productivity and customer service, and damages the organization's culture.
Attendees will learn how to stop workplace bullying and create a more respectful, inclusive work environment. Attendees will learn:
NOTE: To receive your MGI credit, once you complete the webinar, please email email@example.com. It will then be applied.

Derm Essential is one of the many products designed to treat Seborrheic Dermatitis. The product is made from pure natural materials and is safe to apply on skin surfaces, including face and the scalp.
The product has generated various responses about its efficacy in the treatment and management of seborrheic dermatitis. From a sample of ten people who have used the product, eight of them gave it over four star rating, and found Derm-Essential highly effective in treating seborrheic dermatitis infection. Only two people had negative experience of the product. From the responses, Derm-Essential is a highly effective product in the treatment of Seborrheic Dermatitis.
you should read the info about:
The positive attributes of Derm Essentials are:
- It has a pleasant smell;
- Is gentle and has a soothing effect on the scalp;
- Is easy to clean after application;
- Does not oil or weigh down your hair.
- It is fast acting; is highly effective in treating dandruff;
- Calms down and alleviates skin irritation, red pigment and flaky skin within hours of application;
- It works great with a variety of shampoos.
The negative reviews about Derm Essentials include:
Is not always 100% effective especially when applied inappropriately.
In addition, it does not treat some skin diseases that could accompany Seborrheic Dermatitis such as such as Rosacea. Other natural products such as coconut oil have similar efficacy as Derm Essential.
To achieve the desired results, it is important for the user to follow instructions concerning the product . This includes frequency and duration of application. Although Derm-Essential is fast acting, it is important to apply it for extended period of time( usually over a week) to treat Seborrheic Dermatitis. This implies that for some people, it is not a quick fix solution to their skin problems.
It is important to apply medicated shampoo on your face and scalp while using Derm Essential to enhance its effectiveness.

Did you know that coffee can offer relief for those who suffer from asthma ? I didn't!
According to Bradenton Herald, it can. The text that follows is a clip from the article.
"Physicians have known about the beneficial effect of coffee for treating asthma since at least 1859 (Edinburgh Medical Journal). Research has shown that caffeine can open airways and improve asthma symptoms (New England Journal of Medicine, March 22, 1984). The dose is around three cups of strong coffee for an average adult.
Caffeine is related to theophylline, an old-fashioned asthma drug. As a result, decaf coffee will not work. Instant coffee contains less caffeine than brewed coffee, so a person might need a few more cups of instant.
You should not rely on caffeine to control asthma symptoms. Although it can be helpful in a pinch, prescribed medication offers more reliable relief."

I am not claiming this to be a cure but only as entertaining reading.

The last two weeks have been about the busiest I can remember.
In addition to the work that goes into planning and executing a Grade 7 program with an indeterminate end date, I have been swamped with readings and assignments for the two courses I am taking for my Masters. Somewhere in there I went to a truly lovely wedding at the Windermere Manor, a place that has its own apiary. (Of course I bought some honey while I was there.) Add to that the brilliant idea of preparing things for no fewer than twenty categories at the Ancaster Fall Fair and you have yourself a ridonculous fourteen days.
These two weeks should have produced about a dozen blog posts, but writing always seemed to be the lowest priority. There were always other things that needed my attention, not the least of which was my little 16-month-old daughter and her need to open, empty, and tear up everything in her reach.
Tonight, I am slogging my way through seven chapters of my Gifted Education textbook. This section is about gifted programs in different countries; I have read about France and Germany, and I will soon be delving into Russia, China, Sweden, and Australia. As such, nothing of value will be written by me tonight.
But I can offer an old gem, at least, a song that is still one of my all-time favourites, one of a very few that I will willingly play on my acoustic in front of people. It came up on my iPod just now and it was the kick in the butt I needed to at least try to write something that wasn't filled with teaching jargon and APA-style references.

Along with blooming flowers, open windows and allergies comes another sign of Spring: Farmers' Markets. Across Central Appalachia, markets are opening up to offer fresh-grown produce, meat, eggs, herbs, flowers and a host of other items to their communities. Shopping at Farmers' Markets is a great way to support your local farmers, grow the local economy and build community. Studies have shown that 60% of folks who shop at Farmers' Markets also shop at other stores in the area, contributing $1 million and 43 full time jobs to the local economy in West Virginia alone in 2002 (before the explosion of the "buy local" movement). Another study showed that the average farmer makes around $11,000 a year just selling at Farmers' Markets. Plus you get the benefit of knowing exactly where your food comes from and meeting the person who feeds you and your family.

"Moby-Dick" is actually good! Who knew?!
I've been reading Moby-Dick by Herman Melville the last few weeks because I'm going to use the novel as a turning point for my star-crossed characters in the sequel to my first novel, The Outer Banks House. In my first novel, I used Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe as a turning point for the same characters. I also began each chapter with a relevant quote from Robinson Crusoe, and I plan to start each chapter in the sequel with quotes from Moby-Dick. Such grand ideas!
But first, I have to read the darned book.
Moby-Dick is a large book, as far as books go (655 pages), and as alien to me as a T.S. Eliot poem. And yet, I was an English major at UVA. How did I manage to dodge what some believe is the greatest American novel ever written? I mean, it's so large! Hard to miss on a syllabus, and even harder to dodge when thrown at you. I have considered the fact that I might have been assigned the book at some point in my college career, but just squeaked by on the Cliff Notes so that I could keep up with all the keg parties. I mean, I had my priorities, and the classics were kind of low on the list.
Moby-Dick's important reputation precedes it , but that wasn't the case when it was first published. In fact, the book was mostly panned by British and American critics, and Melville, who at the time was a rather popular author, never quite recovered from the blow.
But throughout my lifetime, I've been intimidated by even the tiniest mention of the book Moby-Dick. Its title alone suggests monstrosity and a dark abyss of confusion. I'd have been perfectly happy to while my days away reading Diana Gabaldon's novels over and over, but something in my subconscious told me to consider it for my sequel. See, Ben finds a byproduct (can't reveal what it is, it would spoil it!) of a sperm whale, but eventually finds that the booty isn't necessarily his for the taking. He gets rather obsessed about his secret find, thinking things will now get better between him and Abby when he trades it in for cash. In the name of his treasure, he makes decisions that compromise his character.
Moby-Dick is himself a sperm whale, at first hunted for his byproducts of oil and spermaceti as all whales were, but as the novel progresses, we find that the particular white-headed whale is being hunted by Captain Ahab for revenge purposes only. Ahab took it quite personally when Moby-Dick bit off one of his legs, and he is obsessed with his killing quest, much as Ben is obsessed with his treasure. I can see the light in your eyes; you're getting it! I'm happy with the choice of Moby-Dick as well.
But I'm also happy to be reading it. Melville writes with a sense of humor that I find rare in a mid-19th century author. It's not even that hard to understand the high-blown style of language. It's easier than reading Shakespeare, if that helps. Mind, it won't do to read the book while drinking wine. You need all of your mental faculties about you when pick up the book. And a Cliffs Notes wouldn't hurt either. (After every chapter, I read the Cliffs Notes to see what the hell the chapter was really about.) Here is a funny bit about narrator/sailor Ishmael's observations about a dark-skinned harpooner Queequeg that he is forced to share a bed in a crowded in with:
Upon waking next morning about daylight, I found Queequeg's arm thrown over me in the most loving and affectionate manner. You had almost thought I had been his wife…I lay only alive to the comical predicament. For though I tried to move his arm–unlock his bridegroom grasp–yet, sleeping as he was, he still hugged me tightly, as though naught but death should part us twain. I now strove to rouse him–"Queequeg!"–but his only answer was a snore. I then rolled over, my neck feeling as if it were in a horse-collar; and suddenly felt a slight scratch. Throwing aside the counterpane, there lay the tomahawk sleeping by the savage's side, as if it were a hatchet-faced baby. A pretty pickle, truly, thought I; abed here in a strange house in the broad day, with a cannibal and a tomahawk! "Queequeg!–in the name of goodness, Queequeg, wake!" At length, by dint of much wriggling, and loud and incessant expostulations upon the unbecomingness of his hugging a fellow male in that matrimonial sort of style, I succeeded in extracting a grunt; and presently he drew back his arm, shook himself all over like a Newfoundland dog just from the water, and sat up in bed, stiff as a pike-staff, looking at me, and rubbing his eyes as if he did not altogether remember how I came to be there…" p. 54.
I could go on and on with quote after quote; Moby-Dick is filled with gems of comic genius! I wouldn't lie to you, it's worth a read. I'm not even half-way done, but I actually look forward to reading it at night. Those long-ago critics had no idea what they were dealing with.

Did you know that giving away money leaves you feeling great? It means that you can securely give without feeling a sense of fear or lacking in your money life. The one secret that many people don't understand is that giving unselfishly only comes when you can build a financial foundation for yourself. Granted anyone can give at any moment in time or even if you're not fully prepared to give, but it makes sense to give when you have your life in order. Having an emergency fund, consistently investing towards the future, not living paycheck to paycheck all of these things will allow you to give generously when the time is right. If you can support a good charity or organization it will leave you feeling a sense of contentment. The truth is giving money is gratitude multiplied by happiness in my opinion. It is how I feel when I give and how you should feel too.
Giving Money is Gratitude Multiplied by Happiness
I've given to charities that support food services in local communities, to organizations that foster community sports, and to cancer funding charities. These are the 3 things that I find provide the best utility for my money combined with personal interests. I'll let you in on a secret, every time I gave $ to these great organizations it makes me happy. Imagine that being selfless has the added perk of actually lifting you up. Happiness is defined by what you do and how you feel. If after giving you don't feel happy, then clearly something might be off with how money is perceived.
There comes a time where money is best served and honored by giving it away. It is 2016 and if you make over 30K a year, I know you can easily afford $200 bucks a year to give to 2 of your favorite charities. I use a website called charity navigator to help me find those organizations that have 4 stars or better charity rating. The act of giving will not only transform you, but it will transform others who are in real need of help.
Personal finance is not only about saving, investing, maintaining budgets or consuming. It is really about all those things including giving in any way possible.
Believe me when I tell you that giving money is gratitude multiplied by happiness, because you will feel a sense of pride. That pride will stay with you for a while and you will change yourself and others at the same time. Now that is what I call a synergy like no other.
If giving money doesn't compound happiness in your life then I recommend you change your attitude because giving back is where it's really at. – Rich Uncle EL

No matter how thick the marker pen in redactions or how bold the caveat on viability assessments, there will always be an argument in favour of disclosure in the public interest.
This was the broad conclusion of the First-Tier Tribunal's decision regarding Greenwich Council's handling of viability assessments supporting applications to vary s106 obligations for affordable housing provision on the 10,000 home Greenwich Peninsula scheme.
The role of viability assessments
Viability assessments are an increasingly important part of the evidence base for the negotiation (or re-negotiation) of planning obligations given by developers to planning authorities. The ability (under section 106BA of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990), for developers to apply, straight away, for the amendment and even removal of affordable housing obligations and the recent availability of a vacant buildings credit (against affordable housing contributions) have increased their role and significance in the planning process. Whilst developers are encouraged, if not required, to adopt an open book approach with planners, there remains an understandable reluctance amongst developers to see their financial models and assumptions laid bare in public and, perhaps more importantly, open to scrutiny by their competitors. That reluctance has been made starker following the decision that a developer's full viability model has been made subject to public disclosure.
Salient facts of the case
Following the initial negotiation of the s106 agreement and grant of planning permission the ownership of the 'planning rights' transferred in stages to Knight Dragon, which then sought, through two variations, to amend the quantity and location of affordable housing to be provided. Both applications were supported by viability assessments and Greenwich instructed its own expert to assess and report on those to Members. Redacted versions of the reports were provided to the party seeking disclosure under a Freedom of Information request but the Tribunal subsequently ordered disclosure of the full reports, judging that the public interest in maintaining confidentiality did not outweigh the public interest in disclosure.
Presumption in favour of disclosure
The developer's report contained bold statements regarding confidentiality, referenced to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). In a similar vein, the report commissioned by Greenwich was headed "private and confidential". However, far from accepting these statements at face value, the Tribunal came at them from a very different angle. It was the Tribunal's view that (notwithstanding that the issues were eventually considered in the context of the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR)) the developer and those advising the developer, in including a confidentiality clause were acknowledging the starting point that information provided to a public authority would be subject to disclosure.
Arguments that failed
- The Tribunal did not seem well disposed to the developer from the start, noting that it had bought into the development in the full knowledge of the planning obligation that had been freely negotiated at the point of the grant of planning permission. The Tribunal was therefore uncomfortable with the proposition that the developer should come, on two separate occasions, to seek concessions from the Council to reduce the level of affordable housing, provided for the public benefit, whilst seeking to withhold from the public the justification for doing so.
- The developer then sought to establish a general public interest in the maintenance of confidentiality, which the Tribunal found to run entirely contrary to the principles of FOIA/ EIR.
- The Tribunal was more persuaded by arguments seeking to protect the developer's expertise in the face of competition. However, the Tribunal could not overlook the fact that much of the information in the reports was likely to already be known to competitors; the reports did not contain trade secrets but rather conclusions drawn from that publicly available information, where competitors would be capable of drawing their own conclusions in any event.
- The Council's Members had been at pains to make clear, at the time, that decisions on the Greenwich Peninsula scheme would not be a precedent for other sites in the Borough and so arguments that disclosure would undermine the authority's ability to conduct future negotiations on affordable housing did not gain traction either.
- The Tribunal also rejected arguments that the details shouldn't be disclosed because they would be difficult for a member of the public to interpret. It was quick to accept the information requester's argument that a suitably qualified expert could have been engaged, just as such experts had been engaged by both the developer and the Council.
- Finally, the Tribunal was unconvinced that what was, by then, rather dated information and assumptions about the site would necessarily prejudice the value of the site. The market price for an asset at a later point being more likely to be determined by a purchaser's estimate of its value and the number and type of competing purchasers than by any information on the price paid, or assumptions made, by the vendor.
The case for disclosure
The weight of public concern about the number and distribution of affordable housing plots was deemed a significant factor. So too was the fact, noted above, that the site was 'bought' in knowledge of the existing affordable housing obligation; if the public (through the Local Authority) was being asked to accept a lower level of provision then the public interest in openness about the figures justifying such a change is very strong. Regardless of the motivations of those seeking disclosure, the objective of the EIR, in this case, was to allow the public to have relevant factual information to be able to engage in the environmental decision making process. That intention could only be met here by exposure of sufficient information to allow a fully informed interrogation of the recommendation being put to the Members.
Our thoughts on the case
- It must be a founding assumption, in the planning sphere, that information provided to a public authority will be disclosed;
- Where confidential information is being passed, it should not be assumed that a "confidential" marking will survive even an initial engagement with the FOIA/ EIR regimes;
- Assurances from public authorities, however genuinely offered, may not be determinative of the issue;
- Developers ought to consider whether sufficient information can be made available to support an application without the need to pass over confidential information, even where it is available in a report;
- Whilst there is a fundamental difference between matters that are 'of interest to the public' and those that are 'in the public interest', there can be a cross-over; where an element of genuine public interest can be established, the reasons why individuals sought information in the first place are unlikely to be considered relevant; and
- As there are other conflicting decisions which have been against disclosure of the full detailed models such cases are likely to be decided on a case by case basis. What it does mean is that developers will be cautious about what they disclose which may affect the decision making of local authorities.
Decision of the First-Tier Tribunal: Royal Borough of Greenwich; The Information Commissioner; Shane Brownie: 30 January 2015 (EA/2014/0122)

My favourites while selection were iphones 6s, galaxy s6 edge, g4, one m9 plus.n nPros:n1) Camera: z5's 23mp produces 100% pure natural colours in daytime. Its photo quality in auto mode is the best for daytime photos. Its wide lens produces very accurate images of objects even 35-40 metres away, as it got lossless image processing tech. I was bit worried the small flash won't help even a bit for night photography. But Z5 produces marvellous images even in too low light (even in 20% of lighting). I compared my friends 6s, s6 with z5, and both can't even match to 50% of this phones quality. This phone is the most best for wildlife photography. Took this phone for my friend's wedding, and a highly reputed photographer from Bangalore who was doing the wedding coverage was amazed at z5's camera quality after he clicked some pictures. Its 4k recording is beast. Did 10mins of 4k recording with phone getting light warm (not hot). Get some image samples from internet and verify yourself. 10/10n2) Build: Very Premium build. Never compare z5's build with others. The phone gets warm on heavy usage, because of its tight packaging. It cools off immediately as it got heat pipes and thermal paste applied over processor. 10/10n3) Battery: The phone was discharging very fast after 1st charge. Lasted only one day (may be due to firmware update). On 2nd charge, watched movie for 2.5 hours, listened to music for 4 hours, browsed for around 2 hrs, took around 9-10 snaps with flash and had a talk time of almost 45 mins, But phone had discharged to only 47 %. Battery lasts easily a day even on heavy usage. On slightly above normal usage it lasts 1.5 -2 days. 10/10n4) Colour: I bought graphite black. In image it seems to be dull coloured. But in real, black is awesome. Even gold is awesome. n5) Sound: Phone got dual speaker both at the top and bottom (front of phone). The sound is very crisp and bass effect is good. Due to the speakers, the phone size is bigger.10/10n6) Display: The display is too crisp compared to other phones of same size. And colours are natural (10/10).n7) Performance: Since my first usage, none of the apps ever hanged. Played all high end games, but after playing for around 20mins, the phone gets warm to hot. But it cools down quickly once app is exited. Don't go with benchmarking as this is a 3gb model. 9/10nnCons:n1) Only while updating phone for the first time, it heats up a lot.n2) Phone gets warm (not hot) on heavy usage.n3) Pricy but not too pricy when taken its feature into consideration. If govt reduces tax the phone might cost less.
Following are my observations/views:n1 Dual sim ( dual sim option is rare in High end phones in India) ( i bought because of this)n2 Premium lookn3 Heats up (it is made airtight for waterproofing) Software updates may improve heating issuesn4 Ringer is not so high. ( in traffic we may miss ringtones) Not an issuen5 Battery lasts for one day only even with 2G network ( may be improved by updates)n6 At software level features are not large as compared to Samsung phones of same leveln7 23 MP camera. (It has G Lens) It is not as great. 16 MP cameras from other phones may have good result over this.n8 It has dual sterio speakers ( top and bottom)n9 Sound quality is good.n10 Finger sensor works great. (at present we can not use app lock that uses finger sensor in this phone) However Android 6 (Marshmallow) will have finger sensor in OS. So third party application will be available n I will update my new experiences soonnnSecond Update:nI have been using Xperia Z5 Dual for the last 9 months:nn1. Marshmallow has opened its finger sensor to many third party applications. ( I am using Lockdown Pro for apps lock)n2. Battery lasts longer now. n3. Ringer loudness is sufficient.n4. Camera quality is also increased.n5 Heating issue is not much.nnAs as whole phone is worth to buy ( price also slashed). It looks quite premium in hand. nI dont like four corners of the phone. These are of polycarbonate. The edges of corners from the back of the phone has given off their golden color.
I wanted this phone so badly. But my dad won't give any phone more than 20k so I byed Xperia c4 8 month's back. My c4 running perfectily fine but one day form some reason touch pad is not responsing so I give it to sony service center for repearing, after 1 week i get back to service center take my phone back. And when go there and what I see they replaced my c4 with z5. At first I think they are fooling me but it's true it's not dream. But I asked why they gave me 40k phone. Sony can also give me new c4. But they told me that sony stopped making c4 and they don't have any more spare parts left for c4 so they replaced it with z5. Now my biggest dream comes true. I bet theres no phone which can beat sony's display and camera if u compared it side by side, performance buttery smooth. After marshmallow update there's no heating issue, battery easily last for 2 days with normal usage. RIGHT NOW I AM FEELING VERY VERY VERY VERY LUCKY Person. Thanks sony for this amazing and lovely service
First of all amazing service by Flipkat :)nFor the phonen1. The moment you hold the phone its real royal. n2. One of the best in market configurationn3. Camera very good, Flash could have been better (still using pulse LED)n4. Touch very good, Display quality exquisite.n5. Finger print sensor , very accurate.n6. No heating issue till notn7. Yeah little expensive, but if you can by a 32 gb Apple phone with 8 mp camera and non expendable memory, I would rather prefer thing phone. I know Iphone is fast, but I am not sure it is notable. 3 gb of ram can run lot of stuff before you feel the slowness
Now a days companies like Sony, Apple & HTC have good and long lasting phone models. But the race is not for the end user, it's for the user who can afford the company's manufacturing end products. Companies are thinking on the wrong side of the drum. They feel high end phones will inspire 100 people, but they don't know, people who are inspired, can afford the phone by 1%, so overall the mishap of expensive phones is only 1% sale. Rest is the hype created by marketing without actual user survey.

We interrupt our travelog for an important message:
A hurricane warning has been issued for the entire Florida coastline…including the one that's 2 miles directly east of our house.
I had 'one of those hunches' last Friday when I saw that a storm was forming in the southern Caribbean, just north and east of Columbia.
We were in our Michigan 'dry dock', cozily plugged in at my Dad's house in Milford, thoroughly enjoying fellowship with family and friends. Our plan had been to stay until the latter part of this week so Rob could work in Ann Arbor and I could do some routine maintenance on the Airstream.
As soon as we arrived, it got cool and rainy and stayed that way for the entire week we were there. Walburnizing (waxing) the Airstream was out, but I was able to do some minor repairs and use the time to catch up with family and several friends.
On Friday, when Hurricane Matthew amped up to Category 4, I texted Rob to see what he wanted to do.
We said our goodbyes, sadly cancelling our remaining plans, then loaded up and headed down I-75 to Knoxville, cutting across North and South Carolina to I-95 down through Florida.
A two-day drive with a quick overnight at Walmart and we were home.
When we got inside, the dogs were ecstatic. Sugar 'whoop whooped' a few times and danced around the living room. Chula got so excited that she started choking and couldn't breathe.
Dogs sure love consistency, don't they?
We unloaded the Airstream and I got busy washing, sorting and organizing…the usual things I do after a long trip. We checked in with our neighbors, most of whom had delayed putting up their storm shutters, knowing that storms can be fickle and just hoping this one would take an eastern turn out to sea.
This morning's sunrise. A few fluffy clouds, with 80 degree heat and 90% humidity. Something's up.
While many of our neighbors plan to stay at home and brave the storm (even after seeing the photos of Cuba and Haiti), we decided to leave the east coast, taking the Airstream west toward Tampa and out of harm's way (we think…). My brother and sister in law are staying in Fort Myers and we're hoping to enjoy some time with them while we wait out the storm.
I'm almost afraid to make this next statement:
We were careful to buy a house that met the current hurricane standards. They sure don't make them like this in Michigan, where we are from.
The house itself is made of rebar-reinforced concrete blocks, anchored down to the poured concrete foundation and to the roof joists above.
The garage door has thick metal bars across the back for strength. A long vertical metal pole is installed between the floor and ceiling to add further stability and the door is securely latched shut.
Our roof is metal, screwed on for strength, with metal supports anchoring every joist.
We have galvanized metal storm shutters that screw on with thick bolts at the base. We'd never put the storm shutters up before, but we found that we got into a (sweaty) rhythm and they were up in just over an hour this morning.
Our vulnerability is the pool screen….but that can be replaced.
It's a good thing the panels are numbered!
The house is spooky inside with all the windows blocked.
Chula inspects the preparations from inside the air-conditioned house.
Lawn furniture is safe in the pool.
Unripe lemons from my Meyer lemon tree. What do you do when life gives you lemons? You board up your house and take off! Lemonade will taste great when we take the shutters down and do our post-storm clean up.
We helped our neighbors get their shutters up, then loaded up the Airstream and headed west.
The sky looks ominous near Port Saint Lucie
Near Tampa on the western side of Florida, the sky is clear.
We weren't the only ones with the great idea to head west instead of north, but made fairly good time to Lazy Days RV park near Tampa. It's a pretty sweet deal, with full hook ups, paved sites with grass and small trees, a pool, loads of activities (classes on RV care, movie nights), free breakfast and lunch. It's near Tampa and it's a great price, $39/night. It's full of Class A's and other large and fancy RV's and wouldn't be my first choice if we were just out camping, but the electricity and great internet allow Rob to work, it's cool, and doesn't have big trees (with big limbs that can dent an Airstream during inclement weather).
I expect we'll still get some rain and wind from the storm.
Stay tuned and hope that Matthew spares our neighbors and doesn't go much further west…
Home Sweet (and safe) Home in Tampa

'The Michael J. Fox Show,' 'Sean Saves the World,' 'Dracula' Trailers Debut
NBC looks like they're keeping it all in the family this fall. Not only is the network bringing back a slew of familiar television faces like Michael J. Fox and Sean Hayes, but the newly released trailers for three of their upcoming comedies are centered around family dynamics.
The Michael J. Fox Show, which brings the leading man back to the small screen, looks to bring the actor's battle with Parkinson's to the forefront with a mix of heart and wise-cracking humor. (In the preview, Fox's character jokes that a shaky ride in a van feels normal to him). Plus, there's Marie from Breaking Bad and Bunk from The Wire!
In addition to The Michael J. Fox Show, there's also Sean Saves the World —which looks like a bit of an extension of Hayes' Will & Grace character Jack (he's a gay single dad, only it's a daughter instead of a son this time around). In Welcome To The Family, Glee's Mike O'Malley stars as an Average Joe dad whose life gets turned upside down when his college-aged daughter gets pregnant and his future in-laws don't quite gel.
On the flip side, there are gritty dramas on the slate from NBC including the already-has-us-hooked The Blacklist, the bloody creepy Dracula (vampires aren't going away anytime soon, folks) with Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and the Blair Underwood-starrer Ironside, in which the actor plays a no-nonsense cop in the remake of the 1960s series of the same name. You can watch all of the trailers below and decide which ones you'll watch this fall. (Our money is on Dracula for the vamp appeal and The Michael J. Fox Show becoming a big hit thanks to the star's undeniable charms and his self-effacing humor).

Student Frequently Asked Questions on Student Accounts and Payment Plans
Are there payment deadlines?
Yes, there are payment deadlines for each semester. They are published on the Academic Calendar. If you don't pay your balance in full or enroll in a payment plan before the payment deadlines, you can incur a late fee.
How can I make a payment and view my account balance?
You can view your account online or make payment at any time at UAOnline. Emails are sent out once a month notifying students of their balance. These emails will be sent to whatever email address is set to "Preferred" on UAOnline: https://uaonline.alaska.edu/. Be sure you have a Preferred email address set!
You can also pay in person with a cash, check, or credit card at our Valdez, Copper Basin, and Cordova locations.
To pay with a credit card by phone, call 907-834-1620.

How to Save Yourself a Service Fee When Paying on Your Student Account
Read this document to learn how to pay online with an e-check to save yourself a service fee: ACH Quick Reference Sheet
Are payment plans available?
Yes, they are. See the UAA Payment Plans page.
Am I responsible for my balance? What happens if I don't pay?
When a student registers for a course at PWSC, they assume financial responsibility for that registration. There is no University initiated drop for non-payment. Please drop your class by the drop deadline published in the Course List.
If you fail to meet your financial obligations, PWSC policy requires a financial hold be placed on your account. This hold prevents any enrollment, transcript, or graduation activity. You could also have your PFD garnished or be referred to a collection agency should you not pay your balance.
You must pay, drop or enroll in a payment plan on or before the deadlines posted in the course selection catalog to avoid late fees. Electronic bills are emailed out once a month on the 15th from UAOnline.
How do I appeal charges on my account?
Students have only one year to appeal charges on their account, after the semester in which the charges were incurred. You cannot turn up years later and reasonably expect PWSC to waive past debt.
I'm expecting Financial Aid but it hasn't shown up on my account yet. What can I do?
For questions relating to Financial Aid, contact the Financial Aid Coordinator in the Student Affairs.
My parent and/or spouse works for the University of Alaska. Am I eligible for a Tuition Waiver?
Students and employees with tuition waivers must submit completed tuition waiver forms by the payment deadline posted in the PWSC course selection catalog and pay any additional fees by the applicable payment deadline.
Completed tuition waivers should be turned into the PWSC Business Office window. More information about tuition waivers can be found on the University of Alaska Benefits website.
My employer is going to pay for one of my courses. What do I need to do?
You should have your employer complete an Authorization for Billing form, and send it to the Accounts Receivable technician in the Business Office. You will need to provide your employer with details regarding the cost of the course.
