With the 2018 FIFA World Cup just around the corner, we thought would be good idea to review the FIFA tickets pricing strategy.
The 2018 FIFA World Cup™ has offered four different prices categories:
Category 1 – this category represents the highest priced tickets and located in prime areas within the Stadium
Categories 2 and 3 – these two categories are located outside of the Category 1 area.
Category 4 – this is the category with most affordable ticket prices and is sold exclusively to, and must be used by, individuals fulfilling the personal condition of Russian Residency.
Additionally FIFA reserves the right to allocate specific seats to a different ticket category on a Match-by-Match basis. There will be two types of tickets available for the 2018 FIFA World Cup™.
- Individual Match Tickets: These are tickets for a specific Match, which are available for Match No. 1 to Match No. 16.
- Team Specific Ticket Series: These are tickets for a for a specific host city (Kazan Arena, Spartak Stadium, Fisht Stadium, Saint Petersburg Stadium)
- Venue Specific Tickets: These are tickets for all group stage matches, semi-finals and Match for Third Place, played at the specific venue. They do not include the Final in Saint Petersburg
The FIFA's Secretary General, Fatma Samoura, said: "We wanted to make sure that we priced tickets fairly to make the events accessible to as many people as possible. We therefore conducted thorough market research and have priced the tickets accordingly."
Comparing the ticket price for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia and 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, it can be seen slight increase in the cost of the cheapest tickets for foreign fans by about 16%. The best and affordable prices of tickets for group match will sell for $105; this is $15 higher than the tickets in Brazil for the same group match.
The most expensive is the category one and it will sell for the final game at $1100, a $110 (11%) increase on the equivalent tickets in Brazil in 2014.
Russian residents will be able to purchase the tickets at the discounted price, the cheapest ticket for the final retail at 1,280 (approximately $22) and the most expensive will be offered at 7040 rubbles (approximately $123).
So far, the following numbers of tickets for the FIFA Confederations Cup 2017 had been sold:
- The Visa pre-sale period – 48,504 tickets sold
- Sales Phase 1 – the random selection draw – 82,478 tickets sold
- Sales Phase 1- the first-come, first-served sales phase came – 211,745 tickets sold (via FIFA.com/tickets)
- Last minute Sales Phase will be open from April 19- July 2, 2017
In total, 695,000 tickets are available for general public purchase. Fans can purchase up to six tickets per match, up to a maximum of ten matches.
The 2018 FIFA forecasted $5.5 billion revenue for the 2018 World Cup in Russia and predicted that there will be more than 3 million tickets available for sale. For more information go to FIFA's official website.

Success in real estate really isn't that difficult to come by. In fact, it can be quite easy to attain with a little bit of preparation and some smarts. What is the key to real estate success? It's all about planning. If you want to make money in real estate and see your properties increase in value, then you have to have a plan for success. Your plan will be specific to your situation, but the basic aspects of a good plan are easy to see.
Decide Long Term Goals
Goal oriented people have a tendency to go much farther in life than those folks who aren't goal oriented. This is just a fact of life. In real estate, you can have a number of different long term outlooks which could ultimately help you get to where you are going. The key is to figure out where it is you are going. Are you trying to make a small profit on a home, while giving your child a place to stay in college? Are you looking to make a living by flipping houses? Do you just want a great home to live in that will increase in value over time? It is easy to get to these things if you know where you are going. Sit down with your financial planner and your family and chart your real estate goals for the long term.
Short Term Prospectus
The long term is nice, but the short term has to be a focus point, as well. The most goal oriented person in the world cannot achieve those goals if he or she is not willing to put in the work in the short term. You have to not only have great goals, but you have to figure out the steps that it will take to achieve those goals. For those people who want to make a living flipping houses, you will have to take measures to ensure that your credit is in great standing. For the people who want a home that will slowly increase in value over time, you have to be willing to put in the time to find that sort of property. A mixture of short-term and long-term perspective will help you get to where you are going.
Doing it on your Own?
Don't think that you have to make your plan and chart your course all on your own. There are experienced, talented professionals out there who can help you with each part of your journey. From the planning to actually carrying out your plans – you can find a person who will be more than willing to help you get success. Seek out these people for their advice. They will not only be able to direct you to the right properties, but they can also set you up with folks to help with mortgage problems and with any other issues that might arise when you are purchasing a home. Simply put, professionals get paid to do their job for a reason.

As most of you have heard we had a catastrophic fire in the control tower at the track. We lost the Timing system, PA, radios, track blower and tons of other supplies and spare parts that were in the tower. The Fire Marshall deemed the cause of the fire an electric short in the wiring. Unfortunately we learned that we did not have the proper insurance to cover the damage. We did however have some AWESOME people come out and help us clean up the mess. Shawn Vaught, Jeff Vaught, Annie with Race Wright Coatings and Cardozas Auto Repair stopped their day to bring out Andy Wilabay's dump trailer to clear off the carnage. Dewayne Peters came out and donated his time and muscles to help out as well. Its really refreshing to have such awesome support. We are in the process of figuring everything out and will keep you guys up to date as we learn more. Thank you all!
We appreciate all of the positive calls, text, emails and comments. It truly means the world to us. Life sometimes doesn't seem fair but we know that God doesn't put us through anything that we can not handle. The tower will be rebuilt as soon as resources allow. We will know more after speaking with the insurance company tomorrow. We will keep our heads held high and move forward. Don't count us out!
Brody Melton, a local Caprock racer, started a GoFundMe page to help raise funds to rebuild the tower. Thank you so much, Brody!!!
Please check back frequently for updates on the tower rebuild and any changes to the schedule or events.

text: Hello Ladies, It's been awhile since I've posted and now I'd like your opinions on the CL Satin Very Prive in Black. I currently own nothing like it and they have at least one pair at the CL boutique in Hong Kong (which is where I currently reside). The shoes are going for HKD 5800 but I have a 10% discount which brings it to a little over HKD 5200. Are they worth it? I won't be wearing them all that often and I've never purchased shoes this expensive before. I own 3 other pairs of CL but they were either purchased 30% off retail or more. I can't decide whether they are worth it or if I should go and buy myself a pair of shoes from Chanel or something. I did try them on and they are TDF! However, they are in Satin (they don't have them in leather or patent...only suede or Satin and I don't think I would wear suede in the summer) I have a few days to think about it and I'd appreciate any feedback. TIA!!

Woohoo!! So looking forward to getting to know you.
Please make sure you fill out our intake questionnaire below ASAP.
If you do not fill out the intake form, please note we cannot guarantee we will hold your spot - as there is a strong demand for these calls.
This month alone – I am looking at $50,000.
Before working with Kristen, my sales and profits were really terrible. Our total revenue was under $5,000. Each client would bring in a couple hundred dollars. I was not focused on what I can do better than anybody else.
Working with Kristen, we got ultra focused. Right now I have ten clients I am working with and I don't just take any business that comes our way. Now, most of my clients bring in $15k-30k per client. This month alone – I am looking at $50,000.
We really know who the target market is, what message we want to convey, and what product I can give them. We now have much better clients who really value my experience, my expertise. They really want a wonderful experience and will pay somebody who is an expert to put that together.
I love going to work everyday. I feel like I am really focused on what I can do for people and I really feel good about myself.Liz Kohler, Travel Consultant - Family Odysseys
I signed up 4 new clients at $1497 in 60 days
"Before working with Kristen, my starting price point was actually $120/hour. Within a few weeks of working with Kristen, I sold my first package for $1200, and signed up 4 people at $1497 during the first 60 days. And I am continuing to raise my price.Lydia Shatney, Health Coach
The biggest thing for me was getting pushed to grow into a mindset that helped me value myself and my offer more, and gave me so much more confidence to take the action steps necessary to shift into a new model of supporting my clients that I LOVE and so do they!
I had done a marketing program a couple years back before Kristen's, but hers was different in that she tapped more into the mindset aspect of it in a way that I was both ready for and made sense and helped to stretch me - as did her personal support."
I know where I can find the right people
Before my time with Kristen, I was attracting the wrong people. Now, I have a new approach for seeking clients – and that's invaluable as well as insight about where I can find the right people.Sarah Murphy, Golden Arm Media
I learned to identify when to educate a potential client more about the industry, versus when to refer them elsewhere because they aren't a good fit for me. This is huge and will save both parties time and frustration!
I love Kristen's formulas! They break down all of the relevant concepts into bite-sized chunks and make it easier to see what's really going on in a sales situation. In working with Kristen, there was no also adding anything to my "to-do" list, which is fabulous. It's more of adding perspective and insight to what I'm already doing. Awesome!
I'm now clear on what has been holding me back
I was at a crossroads in my work and trying to take the safe route while knowing that this was going to leave me feeling overwhelmed, unfulfilled, and stressed out.Hannah Braime, Coach
Kristen has a wonderful way of lovingly challenging you to step outside your comfort zone.
I'm now clear on what I want to do, what has been holding me back, and I have a clear framework for how to approach the next stage.
Closed first $2150 contract in 6 weeks - 5x previous hourly rate
"Before working with Kristen, I was feeling very frustrated in my work. Paid $16 an hour! The work was stressful, and my clients were pushy and disrespectful. After 6 weeks of working with Kristen, I closed my first 4 figure contract - $2150, which was 5 times my previous hourly rate. But beyond just the money, I now believe that what I teach has deep intrinsic value, and it's a gift that I want to share with this world.
I owned a small business in the past, and I did it alone. This time around, when working with Kristen, I noticed the huge increase in motivation that I had when working with someone who gave me direction and feedback and challenged me to challenge my thoughts and my motives. For the first time in my entrepreneurial life, I didn't feel alone. Kristen doesn't let you off the hook. She pushes you to find the very edge of your comfort zone, so that you can grow yourself and your business. Most importantly, I love that spirituality and mindset is an integral part of her process.
Sure, it's a numbers game at some level, but you have to dig deeper to reap the real rewards."Stephanie Schottel, Language Tutor
More comfortable approaching prospects
Kristen is a great resource for anyone wanting to work with their mindset around sales, marketing, money and building your business.
I have learned a lot of great practical tips that helped me feel more comfortable with sales, approaching prospects, what to work on first and setting goals to bring in cash.
Highly recommend!Marcella A, Health and Love Coach
I loved the clarity I gained
I was feeling confused and very unsure of what to do next. Kristen didn't just listen to me and offer advice. She presented options and questions to help challenge me to really dig down deeper.
I love the clarity I have gained.
I really have gotten so much out of working with Kristen. I am calmer, clearer, and better equipped to handle challenges.Amber Callahan, Health Coach - Get Plant Fit

Often when importing tax clients from your tax application, such as ProSeries or Lacerte, your clients might have an incorrect or invalid email address.
With an missing email or invalid client email, you may receive an error message from SmartVault, or your client may not receive the invitation to access his or her vault in your SmartVault account.
The best solution for this problem is to validate and update your clients' email addresses in your tax application before you actually import your clients to SmartVault.
You can also correct any client's email address in SmartVault after an import. You'll first correct the email address and then reinvite the client if your client hasn't yet received an invitation to access their vault in your SmartVault account.

Energy Tank Glitch
There is an item in this game named the Energy Tank whose function is to fully restore the health of the party. Like most items, it is intended to be discarded upon use; however, there is a glitch in the game involving it's use. Primarily, this item is only consumed during battle! Thusly, if you heal with the Energy Tank in the field, you will not lose it, making it easy to fully restore yourself outside of battle. (Note however that, if you have Pteras in your inventory, they'll be discarded instead of the Energy Tank in the field. If you don't have Pteras, then nothing is discarded and it is essentially a free heal.)

Like that of their parents, children's footwear in the nineteenth century could be lavishly ornamented, as this elegant pair of booties attests. Throughout the century, wealthy children were dressed in smaller versions of the garments worn by adults, although practical clothing for play came into vogue at the beginning of the twentieth century. These leather-soled booties were intended for a slightly older child and most likely made by a professional, but knitted or hand-sewn booties were also a common part of an infant's layette in the nineteenth century.

Public investment to take a hit in FY18 - Motilal Oswal
Public investment to take a hit in FY18
Farm loan waivers not fiscal expansionary
In our study of 2017-18 budgets of 17 states, we had found that states' capex is budgeted to grow 17% and revenue spending at 12-year low of 9.6% in FY18. After including Punjab (PB), Uttar Pradesh (UP), and Uttarakhand (UK), we make four key conclusions.
* Farm loan waivers don't imply fiscal expansion. Total spending by 20 states is budgeted to grow at 9.5% in FY18, the slowest pace in 13 years. Further, aggregate fiscal deficit of 20 states is budgeted at 2.7% of GSDP this year, similar to 2.6% of GSDP in FY17 (3.5% of GSDP including UDAY).
* Public investment is likely to take a serious hit in FY18. States' capex (including loans & advances) is budgeted to decline (~1%) for the first time in two decades, while revenue spending is budgeted to grow ~12%. Accordingly, while the share of rural sector in total spending is budgeted at the highest in two decades, spending on transport sector is budgeted to grow at 13-year low of 7.5%.
* Amid weak private investments, declining states' capex will restrict the revival in investment cycle, as the central government alone is unlikely to make a difference.
* With total spending of the general government (center + states) budgeted to grow ~8% in FY18 - less than half the growth seen in FY17 - we continue to believe that real GDP growth would ease from 7.1% in FY17 to ~6.8% in FY18 with downside risks, much lower than the market consensus of 7.4%.
In our note released in April 2017, which analyzed 2017- 18 budgets of 17 states, we had concluded that while total spending is budgeted to grow at the slowest pace in 12 years, the states – like the center – are focused on boosting capital spending and containing revenue spending. Continuation of better quality of fiscal spending gave us comfort regarding a potential recovery in investment cycle and limited our concerns about inflationary pressures in the economy. As we update our analysis to incorporate PB, UP and UK, which presented their budgets in June-July 2017, we find that some conclusions have changed.
We revisit the five themes based on our analysis of state budgets. While three remain intact, two have changed. Based on 20 states, we find that rural spending is budgeted to grow 20%+ for the second consecutive year, while their spending on transport sector is budgeted to grow at the slowest pace in 13 years. We also make four key conclusions based on our updated study of 2017-18 budgets for 20 states:
1. Farm loan waivers not fiscal expansionary
The UP budget was an eye-opener on how farm loan waivers impact state finances. As we discussed in our note on the UP budget, while the state government has budgeted for 14-year high growth of 25% in revenue spending, it has budgeted for the worst decline (of 30%) in capital spending in 13 years. Total spending by UP is budgeted to grow 11.7% in FY18, the slowest in 12 years.
On an aggregate basis, total spending of 20 states is budgeted to grow 9.5% in FY18 – the slowest growth in the last 13 years. Further, aggregate fiscal deficit of 20 states (Exhibit 1) is budgeted at 2.7% of GSDP in FY18, similar to 2.6% in FY17 (3.5% including UDAY). With no additional growth in total spending (budgeted at 10.8% as per our previous analysis of 17 states), and broadly unchanged fiscal deficit in FY18, it would be unfair to call farm loan waivers expansionary (Exhibit 2).
2. Public investments to be hurt badly in FY18
Farm loan waivers are not only non-expansionary but also hurt potential growth by shifting investment into consumption. Like in UP, the aggregate numbers for 20 states are showing a decline in capital spending (incl. loans & advances). After including PB, UP and UK, we find that revenue spending is budgeted to grow ~12%, better than 9.5% in our April report, but still the slowest in 12 years. Capital spending is budgeted to decline 0.9% in FY18, marking the first decline in two decades.
Because of the shift from capital spending to revenue spending, aggregate data show that states' spending on the rural sector will grow >20% for the second consecutive year, while investment in transport sector will grow at the slowest pace in 13 years.
3. Limited revival in investment cycle in FY18
The first decline in states' capital spending in 22 years along with a budgeted decline in investments by central PSEs and continued weakening of private investments imply a limited revival in the investment cycle in FY18. Since the central government accounts for ~6% of total investments in the economy, it is unlikely to make a material impact on overall investment cycle.
4. Continue to expect GDP growth at sub-7%
Over the past four years, the contribution of the government sector to real GDP growth has swollen from about 0.5pp to 3pp. This implies that the general government (center + states) accounted for more than 40% of real GDP growth in FY17 (Exhibit 3). With total spending growth of the general government decelerating to the lowest level in 13 years , it is unlikely to contribute as much to real GDP growth. Accordingly, we believe that with fiscal policy reaching limits, real GDP growth is likely to remain sub-7%.
Note: Maharashtra budget is still not adjusted for farm loan waiver. While our conclusions should remain valid, revenue spending growth could be higher and capital spending decline could be faster. There is unlikely to be any change in our expectations of limited revival in investment cycle and weaker real GDP growth in FY18.

Closing Gold & Silver Market Report – 10/7/2013
Today Gold began to react toward the government shutdown as it rose 1 percent on uncertainty that U.S. lawmakers will be able to reach an agreement. Congress has until October 17 to raise the debt limit and at this point it appears they may wait until the final moments to decide. "The longer the shutdown, the longer the issue of debt ceiling crisis, Gold will likely be increasingly supported," CPM Group director of commodities and asset management Carlos Sanchez said. In 2011, government officials were forced to handle the same type of situation and raised the debt limit only at the last minute, which pushed Gold to an all-time high of $1,920 an ounce.
The U.S. government shutdown has now extended to a full week and is affecting jobs, income and investments. The Chinese government proclaimed to the U.S. that the "clock is ticking" and urged Washington politicians to "ensure the safety of the Chinese investments." Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao said, "The U.S. has a large amount of direct investment in China and China has a vast number of U.S. Treasury bonds … The U.S. is clearly aware of China's concerns about the financial stalemate [in Washington] and China's request for the U.S. to ensure the safety of Chinese investments."

Duddy And Claudius Essay Research Paper Throughout
Duddy And Claudius Essay, Research Paper
Throughout Mordecai Richler's The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, the protagonist, Duddy Kravitz, can be seen as a mean-spirited opportunist who would step on anyone to get where he wants. Duddy, at times, seems to be oblivious to the people he hurts in his ambitious quest for money and power, ultimately leaving him unhappy and alone. Even though his methods of gaining control are far more extreme, the same can be said of Claudius from William Shakespeare's Hamlet, who ends up losing far more than Duddy in his pursuit of wealth. It seems, if one compares these two characters, they both sacrificed happiness for riches, destroying their lives.In both character's ambitious race for fortune, each of them has taken a life, marring both of their existences with guilty memories. Through his pranks as a boy, Duddy inadvertently caused the death of Mr. MacPherson's wife, sending Duddy's former teacher into a spiral of alcoholism. Though the enormity of his actions never truly hit Duddy, it is always in the back of his mind. After a meeting with Calder, Duddy goes to his office and begins to glance over some photos Yvette took of the lake. He then goes "to a bar around the corner" and begins to wonder "if- objectively speaking- I could be blamed for the death of MacPherson's wife? I never even met her." (Richler 306). He is obviously reminded of MacPherson and his drinking by going to a bar. Claudius is also responsible for a death, but it is in no way inadvertent. He poured poison in his brother's ear in order to obtain the crown of Denmark. The reader can tell this never leaves Claudius' mind, as he constantly refers to sickness, poison, and ears. However, he makes his greatest show of guilt when he admits to himself that his offense is rank, it smells to heaven; It hath the primal eldest curse upon't, A brother's murder. Pray can I not, Though inclination be as sharp as will. (Shakespeare III iii 36-39)The two characters from each story have both lost women very dear to them through their determined hunt for riches by somehow pushing them away. Duddy lost Yvette through his regular neglect of her feelings. He constantly used her as a business asset, making her finalize land deals because of her non-Jewish roots. Only after Virgil's accident does Yvette truly see how Duddy uses his friends. Duddy, in a desperate act to hold on to Yvette like a possession, asks "Would you like to marry me?". Yvette replies:
"Are you beginning to worry that the deeds are in my name?" Duddy slapped her hard across the face. "Get out of here," he shouted. (Richler 292)On the other hand, Claudius from Hamlet, realizes he has lost the woman in his life, and tries to push her away. Claudius, after Queen Gertrude has told him of Polonius' murder at the hands of Hamlet, says to his wife "His liberty is full of threats to all, To you yourself, to us to every one." (Shakespeare IV i 14-15). Claudius uses the word "you", a very formal address, to Gertrude in an attempt to detach himself from his wife in the wake of the events initiated by her son, Hamlet. Claudius might have realized that he loves his recent bride less than he loves himself.Of all the comparable aspects of the two stories, the best friends of both characters and the paths they are forced to travel are the most similar. However, "best friends" is not a very precise analogy, since Virgil from The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz and Polonius from Hamlet are seen more as servants, or loyal dogs. Virgil is truly devoted to Duddy, even though Duddy mistreats him at any chance he has. Even after Virgil has his crippling accident which is clearly Duddy's fault, Yvette tells Duddy "He asks about you every day. He thinks you're angry he smashed up the truck and that's why you won't come." (Richler 293). Even after this tragic event that ate Duddy with guilt, he still stole money from a chair-bound Virgil. Polonius is just as devoted to Claudius as Virgil is to Duddy. He goes along with any scheme the king has for discovering Hamlet's plans. He even goes so far as to use his own daughter, Ophelia, as bait to determine Hamlet's intentions. After Polonius' death at the hands of Hamlet, even though Claudius still attempts to get rid of his adopted son, he shows some guilt when he tells Hamlet this deed, for thine especial safety, which we do tender as we dearly grieve for that which thou hast done, must send thee hence with fiery quickness. (Shakespeare IV iii 37-40)Although each character from The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz and Hamlet have very different conclusions to their respective stories, the journeys that brought them there were quite similar. Perhaps, if Duddy had gone to the extremes that Claudius had in his selfish journey toward money, he too would have ended up dead.

New restaurant becomes first in Ireland to serve burgers pink
Son of a Bun burger restaurant opened on Tuesday in Cork, and the hottest item on the menu? The pink burger.
Amanda and Niall O'Regan, the husband and wife team behind the restaurant, were inspired to bring the trend to Ireland after noticing that pink meat was becoming increasingly popular in the London and New York dining scenes.
Son of a Bun is the first restaurant in Ireland to serve burgers cooked pink.
This is because the restaurant adheres to a strict code of practice, Amanda says.
"You can't choose any old mincemeat. We get the meat from our local butcher in Bandon; he has his own abattoir. We use 100% Aberdeen Angus Irish beef. We have our own mincer on site. We mince our meat daily. The HSE carries out weekly inspections. Every box is ticked."
And so far, the London-born restaurateur said the reaction to the pink burgers has been "fantastic."
"We want to convince people to try the pink burgers but you can, of course, have your burger any way you want to," she said to Independent.ie.
The busy couple also run Niall's in Bandon, the Coffee Pod on Lapps Quay in Cork City centre and the Coffee Pod on the city's Winthrop Street. But after just two days in the game, Son of a Bun, on the site of former Crowley's music store in Cork, is proving to be a popular spot.
"The restaurant is absolutely hopping. We're so busy," said Amanda.
"Pink burgers taste so much nicer than a well-done burger"
"The great thing about the people in Cork is that the minute somewhere new opens up, they want to try it. They really get behind you. There's such a great community spirit here."

In 1989, Specialized rolled out the 26″ wheel, drop bar equipped, "RockCombo". The frames were based off their popular Rockhopper and Stumpjumper mountain frames, with a bit steeper geometry for road use. Unfortunately the bikes were perhaps a bit too ahead of their time, sold poorly, and we're available for only a year. However while some bikes of a similar design like Bridgestone's XO series have become cult bikes for some, the Specialized RockCombo remains largely forgotten.
That's where the magic of the shop's consignment program comes into play, as two of these RockCombos rolled into the shop a few weeks ago (this one courtesy of our pal Gary Johnson). After a bit of thought, our guy Jason pulled the trigger on the smaller of the two, and has been building it up with some nice pieces. He finished the build recently, mixing original and period correct components with some modern parts as well. The bike is riding on a hand-built wheelset with Shimano 105 hubs laced to Salsa Delgado rims. The drivetrain is set up as a 3×9 with bar-end shifters, Specialized crankset, and an all silver XT rear derailleur (silver due to sitting in our solvent tank for too long…). Other highlights include the Suntour XC Pro cantilever brakes, Sram S900 levers, Brooks B17 saddle, and party-specific bar tape.
Jason is pretty happy with his new ride, as he should be, and one of the forgotten 1989 Specialized RockCombos is back on the street where it belongs. Check our consignment inventory and see if you can't find some magic for yourself.

Here's how to open up each player, so you can get access to the hard drive
Nomad Zen:
The back panel is fastened to the chassis by four tiny screws. Remove these four screws, and place them in the finger bowl. These screws are tiny, and very easy to lose, so wherever you put them, make sure you don't misplace them.
Next, gently lift the back panel off the back of the player, which will expose the hard-drive. You'll see a tear-away sticker, which once broken, will void your warranty. This is the point of no-return (as far as your warranty goes), so make sure you're ready, and let's move on.
Nomad 3
The bottom panel is fastened to the chassis by five tiny screws. You'll need to first remove the four rubber feet, which conceal these screws. The rubber feet can be removed with either a small flat-head screwdriver or even a butter knife.
The fifth screw is in the battery compartment, which should be open (you DID remove the battery, right?).
Once you've pulled the feet off, remove these four screws, and then holding the player like a sandwich, turn it over right side up. Now SLOWLY REMOVE the top cover from the player.

Set aside the alleged over-importance jurors give to Expert Witnesses when it's explained from the comfortable confines of his $3,000 hand-tailored suit that Analyses A and B led to Conclusion C with a 99.9944% accuracy, and then the DA rams home during closing argument that Conclusion C points to and only to the guilt of the defendant.
Consider instead the lay witness dressed in jeans and a flannel shirt, that carries his well-worn winter hat in his hand, and that sits uncomfortably in the Witness Chair. Your mind is still processing warmly something from his slow walk to the chair: "He smells like my grampa." Yes, your dearly departed and deeply loved grandfather. This witness points at the defendant and says, "Ayep, that's the woman I saw standing over Jimmy Bob. Still had the knife in her hand. I'd know her anywhere."
That's it. Case done. She's had her fair trial … somebody get a Bible and some rope. [As a quick aside, in New Hampshire a person can be hanged if for some reason lethal injection can't happen, and in Washington State a person can asked to be hanged.]
But wait a minute. Just wait. You're gonna hang this girl based upon eyewitness testimony? "Well," you respond, "what else am I gonna use?"
Good point. Except eyewitness testimony sucks. New Jersey now realizes it, although SCOTUS seems reluctant to follow suit.
In State v. Henderson (use NJ link above), here's the set up:
Rodney Harper was shot to death in a Camden apartment early in the morning on January 1, 2003. James Womble was present when two men forcefully entered the apartment, seeking to collect money from Harper. Womble knew one of the men, co-defendant, George Clark, but the other man was a stranger. According to the State's evidence, Clark shot Harper while the stranger held a gun on Womble in a small, dark hallway. Thirteen days later, police showed Womble a photo array from which he identified defendant as the stranger. That identification lies at the heart of this decision.
Sounds somewhat clean. Yes, it's a "small, dark hallway," but they were physically close for at least as long as it took Clark to aerate Harper. We learn a few paragraphs later, however, that Womble was a crackhead and that he had difficulty picking Henderson out of a photo line-up until the cops got involved:
Nonetheless, when Womble was unable to make a final identification, the two investigating officers intervened and encouraged him to "do what you have to do and we'll be out of here." Womble followed by identifying defendant. Womble never recanted the identification, but during the Wade hearing he testified that he felt as though Detective Weber was "nudging" him to choose defendant's photo, and that there was pressure to make a choice.
Hmmm … gotta love NJ cops. Real problem solvers, they be. The NJ Supreme Court could have simply used the SCOTUS 1977 precedent of Manson v. Brathwaite – Weigh the suggestive nature of the line up against the opportunity of the witness to view the criminal at the time of the crime, the degree of attention paid by the witness, accuracy of the prior description, level of certainty, and the time between the crime and the confrontation. If the suggestiveness kinda sorta just quickened the process of an otherwise apparently unimpeachable identification, then the eyewitness testimony is in. One would think, after all, that one would be able to identify the person that stuck a gun in their face whilst another man got killed. Seems logical. Cold steel has a sobering effect more powerful than even crack.
But that 4th factor – level of certainty – was something the NJ Court could not get its hands around. "Many people are quite certain, yet certainly wrong," they seemed to be thinking. They sent the case to a Special Master to issue a report on whether the five-pronged test above remained "valid and appropriate in light of recent scientific and other evidence." I love it when Courts act like attorneys on cross – they already knew the answer to the question posed to the Master.
The Report of the Special Master is 88 pages, and is perfect reading if you're an attorney outside NJ and want to proffer similar bases for challenging an adverse witness or are a masochist.
Some baseline items from the Report (cites omitted):
- intensive research into the causes and extent of misidentification did not commence until the 1970s, just before the United States Supreme Court decided Manson. [at 8]
- of "all the substantive uses social science in law . . . nowhere is there a larger body of research than in the area of eyewitness identification." Even more remarkable is the high degree of consensus that the researchers report in their findings. [at 9]
- The witness does not perceive all that a videotape would disclose, but rather "get[s] the gist of things" and constructs a "memory" on "bits of information … and what seems plausible." The witness does not encode all the information that a videotape does; memory rapidly and continuously decays; retained memory can be unknowingly contaminated by post-event information; the witness's retrieval of stored "memory" can be impaired and distorted by a variety of factors, including suggestive interviewing and identification procedures conducted by law enforcement personnel. [at 10]
And some ice-breaker findings:
- Archival studies conducted in the United Kingdom, using fragmentary data, showed that 39% of some 3100 line-up witnesses identified the person suspected by the police, while 21% identified fillers; since only 60% of the witnesses made an identification, the misidentifications represent at least 35% of the positive identifications. [at 15]
- Examining a group of four field experiments involving over 500 unwitting store clerk and bank teller witnesses who observed staged events, Penrod found that in target-present lineups 42% identified the suspect, 41% identified a foil and 17% made no identification; almost half of the positive identifications thus were mistaken. In target-absent line-ups, 36% picked a foil. [at 15]
- a 2001 meta-analysis of 30 studies involving a total of 4145 witnesses designed to compare error rates arising from simultaneous and sequential photo arrays shows foil identifications of 24% and 19% in target-present arrays, 51% and 28% in target-absent arrays, and no choices ranging from 26% to 72%. [at 16]
- An analysis of the first 239 DNA exonerations [Innocence Project] found that over 250 witnesses misidentified innocent suspects; in 38% of the misidentification cases, multiple eyewitnesses identified the same innocent person; and in 50% of the misidentification cases, the eyewitness testimony was uncorroborated by confessions, forensic science or informants. [at 17]
More discussion and findings … Pages 19 through 21 discuss double-blind administration of photo line-ups. 21 through 24 discuss instructions to participants. 24 through 27 is line-up construction. Page 27 opens a great overview of using multiple identification procedures – Among the empirical studies is a 2006 meta-analysis of 32 experiments, which reported that 15% of witnesses made mistaken identifications upon an initial photo viewing, but 37% made misidentifications if they had previously seen a mug shot of the innocent person [at 28]. Page 29 begins Showup Procedures. Jump to page 33 for the deleterious efforts of the cops high-fiving the victim after an identification is complete. And all of these discussions touch only upon the issues within the cops' control ("system variables").
Enter the "Estimator variables": Eyewitness stress level [at 43]; Weapon focus effect [at 44]; Duration of the witnessed event [at 44]; Distance and lighting [at 45]; Memory decay [at 45]; Unconscious transference [at 46]; Age [at 46]; Alcohol [at 47]; Distinctive faces, disguises, facial changes [at 47]; and Own-race bias [at 48].
And to underscore these Estimator variables and their importance, a study found that laypersons (of which juries are comprised) rejected these issues:
The 2006 study, comparing juror acceptance of the same research findings, found that jurors were substantially less receptive to such concepts as cross-race bias (90% acceptance by experts, 47% by jurors), weapons focus (87% by experts, 39% by jurors), weak correlation between confidence and accuracy (87% by experts, 38% by jurors), and memory decay (83% by experts, 33% by jurors). [at 49].
So much for SCOTUS and their belief that juries can ferret out the truth without a stronger judicial hand in the admissibility decision.
The Master's Report begins its conclusion with this: The short answer to the Court's question whether the Manson/Madison test and procedures are "valid and appropriate in light of recent scientific and other evidence" is that they are not. [at 79]
And suggests the following: Those two procedures – mandatory pretrial hearings to evaluate eyewitness identifications as trace evidence and judicial adoption and implementation of the scientific findings – would remedy the flaws and inadequacies of Manson/Madison and would appropriately expand and improve the assessment of eyewitness reliability by judges and jurors alike. [at 86]
The NJ Court adopted, largely, the Master's Report. A defendant must first show that suggestiveness occurred, and then the prosecution must address each of the system and estimator variables at a pretrial hearing. This is odd – the Court wants the police to do something questionable to trigger a review of estimator variables? The two have nothing to do with each other. Alas, movement is movement. Next, the Court wants enhanced jury instructions to address the estimator variables. These instructions will help, but recall the study that found that juries largely reject estimator variables. Oh well. Regardless, it seems that the NJ Court is opening the door. That's a good thing.
The issue now goes back to Perry v. New Hampshire, the case SCOTUS has heard argument on and will decide in the Spring Term. It's not a perfect case nor will it close the issue. Too much data is out there suggesting lines of attack on eyewitness testimony. Further, states can comply with SCOTUS and add more if they like – jury instructions, pretrial hearings, etc. So I intend to attack each and every eyewitness as if they're an invading force. I just have to do it softly when they smell like someone's grandparent.
Just because someone tells you they saw something doesn't make it so.
UPDATE – SCOTUS' Perry opinion is out now (Jan 11, 2012). The majority kept the old rule – we need police misconduct to prompt a full-scale attack. The jury, so they say, can figure out the rest. Surprisingly, Sotomayor issued a dissent that recognizes the inherent fallibility of eyewitness accounts. See her dissent beginning at page 26 of the Opinion link.
UPDATE 2 – This "controversy" is too funny. Here's the article, and here's the cartoon in question.

How Does My Hearing Aid Work
How Does My Hearing Aid Work?
On a basic level, all hearing aids are small amplifiers. With today's digital technology, this amplification can be finely manipulated to suit a patient's hearing loss and needs. There are 3 main parts to every analog and digital aid: a microphone, receiver (small loudspeaker), and battery.
Sound first enters the aid through the microphone on the outer casing. On in-the-ear styles, the microphones are typically located beside the battery door. On behind-the-ear styles, the microphones are typically located above the battery door. The acoustic input is converted into an electric signal, amplified, and then converted back to an acoustic signal. The receiver then plays the amplified sound back to your ear. A very small button like zinc-air battery will power the aid, allowing the parts to function to perform this process. Digital aids also have a computer chip that converts the incoming signal into digital codes that can be very specifically manipulated to allow complete user customization.
While these aids are becoming more and more sophisticated, they are still a form of amplifier and cannot restore hearing to normal. Patients may need time to adjust to the "new" sounds they are hearing. Many people lose their hearing so gradually; they do not realize all of the daily everyday sounds they have lost. Ice clinking in a glass, the hum of a computer, or the noise of the road as you drive may seem suddenly loud or bothersome. Over time with consistent wearing, the brain will acclimate to these sounds and perception of benefit should increase! Most people will notice instant benefit with one-on-one communication and increased ease of daily listening.
It is also very important to note that aids will probably improve large group listening situations, but that in larger, noisier situations listening may still be difficult. It is good to remember that when a large amount of background noise is occurring, even persons with normal hearing will have greater difficulty communicating. Modern digital aids do help to reduce the amplification of background noise, but cannot remove them entirely. Digital hearing instruments understand what is speech-like and noise-like, but cannot determine definitely the difference in speech and noise. Noise tends to be more steady, static, and unchanging (e.g., a fan running). Speech tends to be more varied and changing over time. More static sounds will be recognized as noise and amplification will be reduced for those sounds. However, when you are at an event where many people are talking in the background, the aid may not be able to pick up the difference in speech and noise and will reduce the background much less. When this occurs, other adjustments may be necessary to improve your listening experience. Speak with your hearing healthcare professional about how your hearing aids can help you!

The seventh row in the periodic table is now officially complete. The Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) has finally stated that there are evidences now for the discovery of elements 113, 115, 117, 118 and has allocated permanent places to them on periodic table. This implies that they would be in use in the coming reactions and also require new official names.
However, they are not found in the live environment but are synthetic elements which are produced in the laboratory. The researchers found the existence of these elements difficult to confirm because they get decayed within fraction of seconds.Until now, elements 113, 115, 117, and 118 had temporary names and positions on the seventh row of the periodic table because scientists have struggled to create them more than once.
Kosuke Morita from RIKEN in Japan has stated that for about seven year they have continued to search for data conclusively identifying element 113, but they have just never saw another event and was never ready to give up because the luck would hit any time and if left in the half while the continuous efforts from several years would go into vain.
The IUPAC has announced that a team of US and Russian researchers have fulfilled the criteria for proving the existence of the remaining three elements, 115, 117, and 118, and will be invited to propose permanent names and symbols. They have been temporarily known as ununpentium (Uup), ununseptium (Uus), and ununoctium (Uuo), respectively.However, the confirmation of the elements 115,117, 118 are yet to be published and the details of the discovery of 113 element has been reported in the journal of physical society of Japan.
Let's wait to get to know the new names of the elements.

According to the dictionary the definition of goddess includes: a female god, a beautiful woman and a greatly admired woman. When you stop and think about it, you are actually all three! Every woman has her own original inner goddess. This workshop is an expression of self-discovery, personal development and finding direction.
Discovering the goddess influences within can guide you in creating your own true-life story–not a story directed by others. Such understanding and inner access can guide a woman in making conscious choices that have personal meaning and fulfillment for her, as an individual.
With this workshop we hope to help you visualize your true nature, the innate gifts and abilities in your life and appreciate your strengths as well as understand the areas of challenge. It is the beauty, happiness and glow that shines from within. Finding your inner goddess is something anyone can do.
Consider your own personality for a moment. Think of what feelings or ideas strengthen your resolve or motivation in daily life. What do you love, what are you drawn to. What ignites your passion and your fire? We all consist of a "light" side and "dark" sides.
Before coming to the Inner Goddess workshop, we encourage you to set aside some time for introspection to find out what really makes you tick. Once you've done that, you're ready to create from within that very special woman that is you.

Too many exercise programs exist that take advantage of people. They promise so much and then sucker people into having to buy fad junk like pills or outdated information.
You don't need that. It's always best to choose the healthy way of getting fit. What some people do is get a personal trainer because they want that important, professional guidance.
But other than those who have that extra money to spend, there aren't many people who can afford a personal trainer. It's expensive and some of the better trainers are charging hundreds of dollars an hour.
That amount can go even higher when you want to hire a trainer who has a specialty in an area like bodyweight training. But thankfully, to fit any budget, you can take advantage of the knowledge others have in bodyweight training by using their online programs for a fraction of the cost.
There's a good reason that bodyweight training is in such high demand. It's an effective way to lose weight. It burns fat. The way that you can build muscle is phenomenal because it's faster and easier than the old weightlifting methods.
And it's perfect for people who have busy lives and don't want to and can't take hours to exercise. Bodyweight training is for those who want to push their bodies to be what it's designed to be – a lean, productive machine.
And they don't want to spend their life reaching that goal. You can accomplish in minutes, with bodyweight training and something like climbing ropes, the same benefit you get from a much longer workout at the gym.
If you want to get started with bodyweight training, always pick a good program that relies on your body's own resistance without adding any of the fad trends like special diets or bulky equipment.
The Global Bodyweight Training is a great program that relies on natural methods only. Some of the exercises you'll see covered include presses, lunges and rowing.
You'll see pull-ups, push-ups and squats. You'll also see rope and mountain climbing and separate muscle building workouts like tricep exercises. You can use fitness ropes or balls and a few other items.
The fitness focuses on enhancing your strength and mobility while you're building muscle. The animal flow portion of the workouts covers a unique form of exercising that often calls for the user to perform exercises while on all fours.
The hand balancing portion of the program uses such moves and strengths like you'd find with break dancing or gymnastics. The balancing moves taught take your body's stability and use it to build your core muscles and other muscle groups.
Here are two more awesome bodyweight training guides. Check out my reviews by clicking the titles and choose what suits you.

So we are all set to welcome the new year, 2015, with open arms and open hearts. We are sure that as annoying is might sound otherwise, all the shouting, the hooting, the shrieking sounds amazing on New Year's eve and only adds to the happy mood. Sure the holiday season does bring a lot of festivity and spice and happiness to your life and everyone else's around you, but people don't get together in ginormous crowds to say Happy Easter loudly now do they? So we can related this particular activity only to New Year's eve and we can call it the tradition, sort of, for welcoming the new year while we simultaneously push the old year out the back door like a stray cat. How do you welcome the new year? We are sure that it must at least include some form of cheering, parading, riding or something right? Well if you already have a plan set then that is more than perfect but in case you haven't, we have you covered. We welcome you to the list of top ten New Year celebration traditions from around the world so please stay tuned.
10. South Africa : New Year Celebration Traditions
The first and the foremost place whose new year tradition we are going to bring to you on our list of top ten New Year celebration traditions from around the world, is South Africa. Well, after you read how they welcome New Year, you will start believing, just like us, that maybe they start their resolutions list like 5 months prior to the time when it is actually needed. What they do over there is that as soon as the minute of the New Year sets in, everyone throws their old appliances stuff out the window to be done with. How absolutely cool is that because that is like getting ready for a very literal brand NEW year!
9. England
Moving on and keeping up with new year traditions from around the world, we are now taking you to England next on our list of top ten New Year celebration traditions from around the world. So we all know how welcoming and absolutely filled with warmth the English are and how adorable they look when they speak right? Well did you guys know that the English are big believers of the fact that the first guest in their door (front door to be exact) will bring all the luck that they need for the new year and not to mention, fortune. To ensure that all is good for them in the next and brand new year, there are a certain conditions that the first guest needs to meet otherwise he wont be allowed inside. And yes, the guest is supposed to be a male since that is one of the conditions. He also needs to come with a bunch of traditional gifts like a loaf of bread for the kitchen, a drink for the head of the family and coal to light the fire in the said household, otherwise, please come some other day! We are wondering whether everyone in England plans who visits them as the first guest or do they just leave it to chance and keep refusing guests till the right one comes along eh?
8. Colombia
So in Colombia people, in the hope of a year filled with travel, will carry around empty suitcases around the block. So now this is one of those weird new year's traditions from around the world, one that you can actually try if you are the sort of person who has wanted to travel but hasn't yet been able too, they can try this out and maybe it will work.
7. Filipino
So next up on list of top ten New Year celebration traditions from around the world is what the Filipino's think they should do on New Year's eve to make sure that they have a year filled with luck. In opposition to what the South Africans believe, the Filipino's actually think that if you toss anything out of the house on New Year's day, even if it is a ragged duster or a broom, you will keep on losing things the whole year round! So keep everything inside and safe!
6. Japan
Next up on our list of top ten New Year celebration traditions from around the world is a strange tradition from Japan. So what they do is, determine what the zodiac animal of the new year will be, then wear those animal masks and head on to the local temple to hear the bell chime for 108 times, a number that is considered sacred.
5. Chile
The people in Chile like to celebrate the New Year with their dead. Although some might find this tradition to be a little strange, we actually think that it is really compassionate of them since the dead loved ones can now have a way of being with their family!
4. Spain
Next up on list of top ten New Year celebration traditions from around the world, we take you to Spain. In Spain people wait impatiently for the clock to strike twelve and even more impatiently for the twelve chimes. They wait with a bunch of twelve grapes so that they could promptly eat one with every chime. One grape with one chime will bring luck for exactly one month. Rest of the Math's you all can do.
3. Estonia
The people in Estonia try to eat at least seven meals on New Year's day to ensure that they have ample food in the coming New Year. That is also one of the traditions you can try out and see for yourself whether or not it works.
2. Venice
Next up on our list of top ten New Year celebration traditions from around the world, we tell you about Venice where there is a huge display of fireworks and also, mass kissing! How wonderful is that?
1. Siberia
Last but not the least, we take you to Siberia. They practice the custom of cutting a hole in an iced up lake and planting a tree under the water.

- Uhuru Kenyatta's newly launched Jubilee Party has suffered a major setback after a tribunal barred The Registrar of Political parties from declaring its merger with PNU as valid
- A dispute will be heard and determined on October 6 and will shed light on the new course of action for the political outfit
Uhuru Kenyatta's 2017 political outfit has suffered a major setback days after the launch. The Political Parties Dispute Tribunal extended orders stopping its merger with one of its primary parties.
READ ALSO: A Photo of a highly trained Jordanian commando kneeling before Uhuru Kenyatta
The tribunal has halted the dissolution and merger of the Party of National Unity (PNU) until a case that has been filed before the tribunal has been heard.
Lucy Ndung'u, the Registrar of Political Parties was last week, barred from declaring PNU and Uhuru Kenyatta's Jubilee Party as merged.
READ ALSO: The woman who reportedly fixed Ruto at Hague to head Uhuru's campaign team
The dispute was tabled before the tribunal by the party secretary general, John Okemwa.
Okwemwa told the committee that the national delegates convention that was held on Friday, September 9 which agreed to dissolve PNU did not follow the party's constitution.
Meru Governor, Peter Munya who has previously said that he will be defending his seat on a PNU ticket was present in court during the mention on the case.
READ ALSO: If you hear that a woman has a red thigh, you need to be scared, like really scared, here's why
Kibaki's Party of National Unity (PNU) is opposed to the idea of folding up to merge with other parties under the Jubilee coalition umbrella to form the new party.
PNU is led by retired President Mwai Kibaki, being the party he used to retain his seat in the contested 2007 general election.
During the announcement of the merger made by Uhuru at State House on Tuesday, August 9, PNU chairman John Kamama was among party representatives who were present to confirm the merger.
However, Munya has dismissed the presence of the chairman saying the PNU top brass has not met and discussed the move, therefore rendering his presence a personal decision.
