Beyond Words: Five Presentation Tips to Connect With Your Audience
In presentations and media interviews, it's not just what you say that matters, but how well you say and show it. Verbal and non-verbal cues – such as body language, intonation and energy level – all play a role in how leaders may be perceived in terms of their confidence and expertise. In fact, in a study about CEOs giving initial public offering road-show presentations, investors seemed to judge the leader's competence and trustworthiness in as little as 30 seconds based on their presence. That doesn't leave much time for making a positive first impression.
Whether you're conducting media interviews, all-staff meetings, analyst calls or industry conference sessions, it's important to focus on content and delivery. During executive presentation or media coaching sessions, our trainers at Linhart PR often get asked about how to show the right level of energy, presence and poise. It's all about balance and practice, while staying true to yourself.
Here are five considerations for your next public speaking opportunity whether with one person or in front of a crowded room:
Be authentically deliberate. Some people are already very enthusiastic and confident, while most of us need to think about increasing our energy. Either way, in public speaking situations, you have to be authentic and be yourself, even if you also need to be deliberate about either amplifying or balancing your energy. This doesn't feel comfortable or come naturally to many. You need to match your voice, tone, gestures and presence to be appropriate to the audience, topic and room size. It takes a conscious effort. Whatever you think is sufficient energy – you may need to reach one or two rungs higher or turn up the dial a bit more. For those who are already energetic and speak loudly, gauge if you need to rein in your presence to avoid overwhelming the audience or overshadowing the topic.
Hit the record button. The best way to assess your energy level and presence is by videotaping your practice session and playing it back to see how you come across to others. Ask a colleague to watch it with you to also get his or her perspective. We may think we have sufficient energy until we actually see on the video playback what the audience experiences. Presenters need to connect and engage with their audiences, and energy level is a big part of that. If you don't appear to be confident or energized about your message – the audience won't be either. Videotaping allows you to put yourself in your audience's seat and make positive adjustments before the actual presentation.
Pace yourself. When you're nervous, you tend to talk faster and that may harm your credibility and the audience's ability to grasp your content. A recent Harvard Business Review article mentioned a TED talk speaker who offers the presentation delivery advice to imagine you're talking to a friend over dinner in a restaurant. It's a pace to consider following – natural, authentic and conversational.
Express yourself. Hand gestures and other body language can be done in meaningful ways that complement your message. If you have three points to make, hod up three fingers. If you're discussing a big change, you might expand your arms. If you want to demonstrate confidence and better connect with the audience, step away from the podium. Too many gestures or being too animated can be distracting, so again it's all about balance. This is also something to review during a videotaped practice session.
Practice, practice, practice. Preparation and practice play a critical role in the success of any presentation or important discussion. Energy comes from confidence – and confidence comes from preparation, practice and knowing you're an expert on the topic. We recommend rehearsing out loud at least five times. If possible, practice in front of someone or a small group to better simulate the actual presentation or speaking opportunity.

My wife stopped at a red light.
While she waited, she answered a text from our son. She noticed someone waving. The lady in the van next to her was giving the universal sign for "roll down the window". Only it seemed more like "roll down the window, bitch."
"That's illegal!" Veins bulged in her neck. "I've got your license number, I'm reporting you!"
This goes on. And on. My wife, too stunned to respond, rolls up the window. The lady's eyes begin to pop out of her face that's about to catch fire. Fortunately, they went different directions. And the texting police never showed up.
Traffic brings out the crazies.
Case in point. High school. Three of us are catching a ride home with two high school seniors. They yell at a car in front of them. Apparently, it contains a Marine that has decided to show these high school punks some respect. Some honor.
(I don't know if he was a Marine, but you get the picture.)
We pull over in a neighborhood. Marine saunters over. The seniors -- well-versed in fighting -- meet him halfway. Then they clown this guy. Bad. They take his keys and throw them over a house. We pull away while he stands in someone's front yard watching.
Here he was going to improve the lives of some whipper-snapping punks with some tough love. Now he was touching his lip and looking at the blood on his finger.
Yeah, you never know who's in traffic.

Turnkey solutions for companies and manufacturers in technological industries
Rapidly changing market conditions that boost opportunities for brands in the international arena
In the technology universe, there are plenty of discussion topics that eventually transform daily life in society. One of the topics that has gained increasing prominence over the years is the concept of the "Internet of things" that will have a crucial impact for populations at the global level. When every device is able to establish a connection to the Internet, everything will be transformed. Beyond mobiles or other current portable devices, it is expected that washing machines or coffee machines will be connected to virtual reality – which is why technology companies are paying attention to these ever faster changes.
The technology industry, marked by constant change and the ability to improve all of the cities in the world, profoundly affects international markets. In Portugal, the number of patents awarded is indicative of the increasing technological innovations: while in the 1960s, no patents were granted, currently there are over 100 new inventions registered and attributed annually to universities, companies, research institutes and individual inventors. New, increasingly innovative devices are business opportunities for the companies of this industry.

Yellies: The Toys That Are Powered By Your Child's Screams
Step aside, recorder. Yellies are the hottest new toys that'll delight people who want to completely antagonise parents.
Toy heavyweight Hasbro has come up with something truly nightmarish: a plush toy spider which is not only powered by screaming, it runs towards you as you scream.
Wait, wasn't this the entire premise of the movie, Monsters Inc?
I mean, kids can be noisy enough, right? Now we have these things, which encourages them to be even noisier and perhaps even develop a healthy streak of arachnophobia.
The tagline pretty much describes it: "The louder you yell, the faster they go."
Sounds super fun, right?
One mum recently bought a Yellie from Amazon, and let's just say it didn't go particularly well.
"Being the mother of a naturally loud and boisterous kid, I thought it would be the perfect Christmas present," Hilary Hard posted to Facebook.
"I couldn't wait for Christmas. So I crack it open tonight, and get a good look at it. I test it out. I'm amazed at how powerful the little motor is... how fast the little legs move... how its creepy little eyes glow a lovely shade of radioactive green."
"I call Leo in. He looks at it, cocks his little head to the side. And then, obviously, I yelled at it."
Then things go completely downhill.
"The spider ran for it. Leo starts screaming... the louder he screams, the faster the spider pursued him. He runs. And this is when we discovered the fun little feature in which the spider has a tendency to stop abruptly... pause for a couple seconds... spin in several erratic circles... and then turn towards wherever it senses sound... and take off in that direction. More screaming. Spider runs faster. Leo is backed into a corner as murder glows green in the eyes of little "Skadoodle."
"In short, maybe a little electronic spider that's power source feeds off screams of terror... is not the best Christmas gift for your small child," she writes.
"10 years from now we'll be discussing this in therapy."
Not even gonna lie, I'm one of those aunts, so this toy completely speaks to me.

Over the last twelve years, various versions of the Xbox, Wii, and PlayStation have been the center of the gaming industry. However, according to a recent report the age of game consoles is coming to an end.
Piper Jaffray analysts Michael Olson and Andrew Connor report that upcoming consoles - the Nintendo Wii U, the Sony Orbis, and the Microsoft Xbox Durango - will not perform as well as their predecessors, the Wii, the PlayStation 3, and the Xbox 360. Analysts estimate that Nintendo will sell 35% less Wii Us than they did Wiis in 2006 – 2007, while sales for the upcoming Sony console will fall to 50%. The Microsoft Durango, sometimes called the Xbox 720, will fall to 55%.
Why the poor projections? Analysts point to the popularity of mobile and social games.
"We believe console gaming will continue to be a time-share donor to social networks, mobile games, and tablets," Olson and Connor told Gamasutra. "We therefore favor companies with increasing exposure to social/mobile gaming."
The recession has also hurt the sale of consoles, which is not surprising considering the devices can cost a few hundred dollars apiece.
So what's next for the industry now that traditional gaming machines are falling out of favor? Will there be a universal device that gamers use or will smart phones, PCs, and handheld devices continue to fragment the industry? Only time will tell.

Neo-Machian Relativistic Time-Dilation & The Balmer Quantum Barcode
|Time-Dilation, the simplest possible derivation (Neo-Machian)
Let the intrinsic spectral period of an atom (that is, the peri0d of a particular atom relative to itself) be denoted by t, and let that period as it appears in the spectroscope of an observer be denoted by tR (called the relative time). The distance in metres between that atom and the observer is then denoted by s.
Now, as we already know, in neo-Machian Normal Realism, this distance s in metres, divided by the constant c is not a 'velocity' but simply a time in seconds, where c is a dimensional constant giving the ratio of measures in metres to those in seconds. Since these measures, t, tR and s/c are now all in the same units of seconds, they can be represented dimensionally in the orthogonal (i.e., rectangular) way as depicted in Fig. 1 ]. where tR is shown as the resultant, by Pythagoras, of the two rectangular measures s/c and t [i].
Fig. 1 here The Pythagorean time-triangle (ontrol-click to open)
Unlike the traditional scalar graph of a uniform motion, in Fig. 1 the length of the body's motion vector tR, in the diagram is the geometrical resultant of the two components,, tR and s/c, viz.:
|tR = √ (s/c)2 + t2 (1).
This simple, sixth form school-level formula gives precisely the same value of time-stretching ('dilation') as is given by Einstein's far more complicated formula for that same relativistic time-dilation. This can be seen if we substitute for the distance s in (1). the relative, or observed, velocity vtR and then simplify the formula by the ordinary rules of algebra. This produces the standard orthodox, Einsteinian equation:
tR = t/[√ [1 – (v2/c2)] (2).
(Note that the direction of v is inconsequential, since squaring the term, whether v is negative or positive, makes the result uniformly positive. This means that the dilation is the same for a body moving away from the observer as coming back. This explains the so-called 'Twins', or 'Clock' paradox, as being due to the assymmetry in those relative motions due to the turnaround of the one twin, with all its force and visceral accompaniments, which makes him, on his return, the younger of the two. This is what the young Viv Pope discovered soon after his short correspondence with Einstein (see above ). It was whilst on sick-leave following a climbing accident in his job as a telephone lineman. Unable to cope with the standard, arcane version of Relativity, he thought: 'If what one man discovers about nature is true, then others should be able to discover that same truth in different ways.' (As it is said, 'All the keys hang not at one man's girdle.') The result was that while convalescing in the garden one fine day, he had what may be called a 'Eureka' experience. Using no more than a notebook , a pencil, a ruler and set of compasses, he had discovered the same relativistic space-time relation that Einstein had discovered, but in the simplest, purely geometrical way. This was from plain Pythagoras directly to the relativistic time-formula , bypassing all the historical rigmarole connected with the standard Einsteinian version. This unique derivation of relativistic time-dilation is shown in Fig. 1.
Why is this derivation 'unique'? It is because it makes no reference to the so-called 'speed of light in vacuo' (Einstein's Second Axiom of his Theory of Relativity). Only lately, in the journal New Scientist, is it reported that physicists are adually coming to that same conclusion, that Einstein's Second Postuate is redundant and that the theory is much simpler without it (see article, 'Shedding Light on Light' (N.S., 1/11/08, pp. 28-31). Despite the fact that Pope's books and papers have been widely circulated on ne Web, no mention was made of the fact that this discovery was, arguably. first made by a non-academic telephone lineman in 1954.
This discovery was later concurred in a correspondence with Herman Bondi, who reported his own independent discovery of that same truth (the redundancy of Einstein's Second Postulate) in a book he wrote in 1964, entitled Assumption and Myth in Physical Theory (Oxford University Press). Now, regardless of who might claim precedence for this discovery of a much simpler, purely geometrical approach to relativity, what is certain is that, prior to POAMS, no-one has followed-up the full logical, physical and philosophical implications of getting rid of Einstein's Second Postulate. Bondi told Pope that for him it was sufficient that this discovery could be used as a teaching aid for students, and that he would leave it to Pope, with his blessing, to follow-up any philosophical developments.
What are those 'further implications'? They are to create a revolutionary paradigm-shift from Einsteinian, into Machian relativity, for only in Mach's Positivist approach to physics is there no such concept as that of light as something travelling in any form whatsoever. In Mach's approach, light is simply what you see, either directly or instrumentally, begging no question as to how and by what means, it 'travels in space'. The trouble with this paradigm shift in thinking about light is that it bypasses, or wipes-out, practically the whole complicated history of theories that students have to study as to how and by what means light travels between the object and the observer. In the Machian approach, the object is as it is observed in the clearest possible instances of direct observati0nal and/or instrumental perception. The history of this Machian approach, called Phenomenalism, goes right back to George Berkeley and David Hume, as later corrected and developed by Immanuel Kant – and of course, Mach. The most up-to-date development of that phenomenalist legacy is called Normal Realism, as described on this website.
It needs to be recognised, here, that this phenomenalist approach to physical reality has been detested and scorned by mainline physicists from its very inception in the works of George Berkeley and David Hume. This is scarcely surprising since Berkeley's 'dictum esse is percipi ('To be is to be perceived') seems to subjectify the whole of physical reality, making everything a product of one's own mind, as if in a dream, the abortive position known as Solipsism. The corrective to this absurdity was supplied by Mach as developed in the up-to-date version of Neo-Machian Physics called Normal Realism.
Something else which has not been recognised, neither by Einstein nor Bohr, is that the time-formula (2) is fundamentally quantised (see below, the Balmer Quantum Bar-code).
The Balmer Quantum Barcode
Something which physicists seem not to have realised so far, is that the relativistic time formula is automatically quantised. Neither Einstein nor Bohr were aware of this direct logical connection between the two theories, Relatvity and Quantum Theory, otherwise they would not have remained so chronically at loggerheads over the notorious 'EPR (Einstein-Podolski -Rosen) Paradox'.
For instance, here, again, is that relativistic time-formula:
tR = t/√ 1 – (v2/c2) (2).
The lower limit of this formula is, of course, when v = 0, at which stage tR = t , where tR is some multiple of t – in this case, one. Now any number can be expressed as a fraction n/N., where n is the series of integers in the numerator, and N is the series of integers in the denominator. Recall that in this formula, t is the bottom rung of the scale of values, which is the intrinsic spectral period of the simplest atom – namely, an atom of hydrogen with N = 1, throughout and n the running series of natural integers making up the hydrogen spectrum. (Needless to say, the t on both sides of the equation cancels.)
(n2/N2) = 1/ [1 –(v2/c2)] (3).
Now v2 in this formula = e/m as in the standard formula for potential energy (i.e., twice the kinetic energy, so (3) becomes:
n2/N2 = 1 / [1 – (e/mc2)] (4).
Rearranging this formula we have
e = mc2(1 – N2/n2), (5) .
Note that for n and N both equal to one, formula (5) is the standard mass-energy relation,
e = mc2 (5a)
This famous formula is now seen to be a direct logical consequence of the Machian, or phenomenalist approach to physics, in which those spectral lines of the various atoms constitute the ultimate observational sense-data (pace Mach) from which, in the context of the whole panoply of observational data, we obtain our knowledge of basic microphysical phenomena.
Substituting, then, the symbol E for mc2 in (5) produces
e = E (1 – N2/n2), (6).
where E is the (asymptotic) upper limit of the equation, as the scale of values n approaches infinity
Now, as we know, dividing energy by Planck's constant h expresses frequency ƒ so, dividing (3) by h produces
ƒ = ƒlimit. (1 – N2/n2) (7).
Already we see the resemblance between this formula (7) and the Balmer formula. Including the intermediate values for the integers n then produces:
ƒ = N2ƒlim.[(1/n12) – (1/n22)] (8) ,
where n1 and n2 are, respectively, the fixed and running terms of the various series.
This matches, in purely formal terms, the standard Balmer-Rydberg formulae for the series of all hydrogen-like (ionized) spectra of ordinal number N. The empirical frequency-limit of that standard formula is, of course, cR, where c is the usual space-time constant, and R the so-called Rydberg constant. Fitting this bit of empirical information into the numbers template, formula (8) produces:
ƒ = N2cR [(1/n12) – (1/n22)] (9).
This is precisely the Balmer-Rydberg formula which these experimenters discovered by empirical trial and error in their studies of spectra. Needless to say, these formulae are quantised in the way Mach would surely have approved. It cannot be mere coincidence, as some have suggested, that the formula for relativistic time-dilation and that of the discrete lines in the spectrum are connected in this directly transformable way. This is by no means implausible, since the inverse of time is frequency. The discovery of this direct connection between time and spectral frequency might therefore be expected to occur, sooner or later.
However, be that as it may, physical science has had to take its own wandering course, milestoned with the names and deeds of the deservedly admired Great Pioneers of Physics. Unfortunately, Nature cares nothing for those theoretical meanderings that we cherish in the name of 'Physics', and which our students have to follow like the trails of ants.
[i] Why 'orthogonal', says someone. It is because the only way in which measures can be geometrically projected without encroaching on one-another's domains is at right-angles to one another.

It's an eternal truth that no matter how much hard drive space you have, you always manage to fill it with something.
In my case, it's mostly tools, SDKs and most importantly build environments. I have to maintain at least 3 active development copies of OGRE at any one time (the previous stable branch, the current stable branch and the development branch), plus clean build environments for at least 3 compilers in order to do releases. Add to that the occasional backport scenario for clients, plus build variants (static linking, multiple threading options, double precision mode), plus project builds for customers and my own spin-offs like OgreSpeedTree and it all starts to mount up, particularly as a full build of OGRE will creep up to about 3-4GB of data (mostly intermediate files).
To be fair, hard drives do tend to last longer and longer every time. I bought a 250GB hard drive about 4 years ago and was amazed at the amount of space I had free (with my secondary backup drive, I had 330GB at my disposal). However, over the last month or two I've been pushing at the limits and so I decided to upgrade.
Terabyte hard drives are getting quite cheap these days, although the cheaper ones (like the Seagate Barracuda) have been getting some poorish reviews, so given I do some pretty HDD intensive work I looked for something with decent performance (barring going OTT with an array of Velociraptors) . The Western Digital Caviar Black was getting some good reviews, so I went with that - the only one that seemed to compete at this size was the Samsung Spinpoint F1, but according to the reviews I read, while it did very well at bulk sustained transfer rates, its performance didn't scale well to lots of random I/O requests, something that's pretty important when doing compilations with lots of small files being accessed in many threads. Thus, I chose the Caviar Black which is a touch slower than the Spinpoint on bulk transfers, but is a clear winner in the kind of random access workloads I do most.
They come in 750GB and 1TB variants; I decided to go with the 750GB since the Caviar Black is a more expensive drive (£80 for the 750GB, £110 for the 1TB), and I intend to keep my 250GB as a secondary drive anyway, so together they push me over the magic psychological 1TB barrier (in theory, of course you never see all that space in reality).
It feels like moving into a new house with loads more room - you just want to do cartwheels on the empty space (metaphorically). It's great not to have to worry about disk space again as I fire off a new build, and I don't personally notice the noise that the reviews mentioned as a downside of the Caviar Black, but then my existing drives were 4+ years old and probably noisy by comparison to modern equivalents anyway. In a way, I find the slight noise reassuring, particularly as I don't have a HDD light on the front of my machine (it's behind the door panel, in a rather odd design choice by ThermalTake).

June 18, 1997
This series took me by surprise. I had every intention of doing work for two different series, Hymns to Gaia and Asylum, having hundreds of sketches executed and materials collected, waiting for further development. I hadn't intended to develop this body of work. It came to me. And I am a firm believer in following a mysterious call if it beckons with a certain degree of clarity and power.
I find very often the best images take me by surprise. I feel a body of work is often strongest and most sincere when it challenges its viewers and its creator equally to consider new perspectives and ideas. I love this process of discovery; though it can be unsettling not to be able to offer an answer to the question, "Why this?" The simple answer "It is." can be enough. But when you can say "It is!" you know you're onto something, even if you don't know what you've got hooked at the other end of the line. If the line is pulling hard, you have to reel it in.
Whether this process of being taken by surprise is a matter of visitation by another power or of the work having reached a point of sufficient depth to lift the veils that screen a pure welling up of the subconscious is less important than the simple statement that the work generated resonates with power. These images hold power. I don't know the full import of their message but they have meaning, meaning which becomes clearer with the passage of time and continued participation with them. Yet at the root of their breath, their life, is a mysterious force that defies definition. Any spirit ultimately resists the limitations of a definition and can offer lasting value only through an experience of its totality.
In the process of fleshing out work for the Elemental series, a new body of work arose. It became clear that a group of images were forming a close alliance, would benefit from the subdual of color, and could stand alone as a separate series with a unified focus. Curiously, this series seems to be a merging of the sensibilities in my two prior bodies of work, Elemental and Rites of Passage.
Allies borrows the concern with an extended palette of rich and varied toning of monochromatic and subdued color images from Rites of Passage. The removal or subdual of color in my work relates the images more closely with a spectral or dreamlike realm. The comparative lack of color minimizes the emphasis of the material and the temporal and amplifies the spiritual and the eternal. Yet there is color in these images. All blacks and whites are not the same. Each has a specific color that imparts a unique character to it. This subtle coloring can produce a profound psychological effect in the viewer. And so I have chosen the subtle color of these works very carefully. Whereas in Rites of Passage I began using the removal of color and subsequent toning formally to unify elements within a single composition, in Allies I began to push the toning further to separate space and define form with contrasting tints, creating a more varied emotional palette within a single image. Allies also continues the exploration of complex Rorschach patterns derived from natural elements begun in the Elemental series. While the Elemental series tends towards formalism and abstraction, usually depicting planes and spaces rather than discrete objects, the work in Allies employs a discrete outline to contain the symmetrical pattern and thus heightens our natural tendencies towards personification and animation. Further, I feel it lends itself to the characterization of a latent spirit within the surface of nature. This work is in essence a fictive extension of the process I describe as reading the face of nature in the Elemental series.
Often when I am in nature, I feel that I am in the presence of a spirit or spirits. Mythology and folklore have a highly creative vocabulary for these earth energies: fairies, dragons, elementals, etc. Brand me as a romantic or a mystic if you must, but I have the deepest conviction that we are spiritual beings, as well as material beings, and that we are not the only spiritual beings in existence. Label me animistic if you must, but I believe everything has soul, that is, a unique essence. Were I Hindu, Buddhist or Christian, I would most likely hold the belief that every atom is a part of God or a higher universal force. Were I a practitioner of Chinese Feng Shui or a Celtic druid aligning stones, I would most likely hold that the earth, nature, has a moving, living spirit coursing through it and that it influences the land and its inhabitants. Travel widely and one must conclude that each area or geographic region is unique and has a specific character ÷ one might even say spirit.
his work is not a simple document of my encounters with the varied spirit of nature; it is a collaboration with it ÷ an alliance. None of these images were fully conceived in the field. While I am very much responding to the power of nature when I am in it, these images evolve after I have responded to it with a camera. I did not have these visions in the field, though some elements could be visualized there; and they are not recordings of waking reveries, though some are derived from images in dreams. The process of assembling these images is almost like dreaming while Iâm awake.
Again I find my digital work poised on a balancing point between apprehension (the recognition and capture of an event) and intention (the generative realization of an internal reality). Both modes of creation can find various balances between being deliberate and controlled or receptive and spontaneous. The balance in this work is curious; it is at once descriptive of an original encounter and revelatory of an internal gestation of that moment.
This work gives shape to the sensed but unseen. When I first saw these images appear, I was struck by how much they reminded me of the spirit of the place where the original materials were drawn from. Sometimes fiction reveals "truth," as opposed to fact, better. Sometimes the purely factual disguises or belies the "truth." These are fictions and, like poetry, they rely on metaphor and simile to bring revelation. They have only the power of their being to confirm their truths.

Please don't dismiss the single fin as some sort of retro pose. We believe that they provide a whole new experience to most modern surfers, a ride defined by flowing speed, by using the rail rather than the fin cluster, by trim rather than pump. The rider has to really surf, to find the lines that put the board into the waves' power zones and to turn rather than to hack. Our benchmark is the great Michael Peterson, the original retro modernist and the master of flow. His intuitive design elements have found their way into all the boards featured along with many of the more contemporary tweaks and refinements. The result is, we hope, boards that provide a new experience, a new way to feel the wave.
Dave Parmenter's take on the stubby discs that MP was shaping and riding in the golden days of Kirra, but refined so that the wackier design elements have been left at the wayside. The plan shape has the width and thickness up front, straightening the rail line and giving serious power and projection from a smaller board, with the added bonus of easy paddling, a bottom with a slight hully convex that blends to subtle v in the clean releasing round tail, and the rails are softer, perfect for those carving turns. The combined result? Fast, flowing, forgiving and fun.
aka the 'That 70's Board', this design has some wonderful pedigree. Dave Parmenter built the original to be ridden by Stephanie Gilmore as part of Andrew Kidman's 'Spirit Of Akasha' film. Andrew wanted to put the most talented female surfer we've seen in years on a classic high performance single fin shortboard, and Parmenter was obviously the man to build it. Dave combined a clean, contemporary plan shape with a flattish old school rocker, thicker rails and forward foil to give the board momentum and projection. Combined with the pivoty diamond tail and six deep channels for hold and drive, the end result exceeded everyone's expectations. Stephanie loved the board and surfed it with such finesse that Andrew created the limited edition book Single to document the session and board, and it's become our iconic single fin- modern, supremely functional and allowing the rider to find new lines and new ways to surf a wave that owe more to the legacy of Fitzy, MP, Hawk or Abillera than they do to the identikit modern pump/hack/pump/slash mentality.
Smooth Glide
The name says it all really. Mick Mackie's single fin mid-length model, designed to provide that 'on well greased ball bearings' feel. It's simple enough- a clean, pintailed outline with the wide point up front and sublte bottom contours. There's magic in the rails too, foiled beautifully from the deck thickness into a more pinched classic hull style for those committed arcing turns. Mick describes the board as a 'light hull'- many of the classic characteristics but without the finickiness so prevalent in the seriously bladed boards. Smooth Glides have the width and float to make them a joy to paddle, and the tuning to make them a joy to ride.

About eight months ago Swiss watchmakers Tag Heuer announced that they were planning to join the smart watch wars and they have more than delivered. Not only have they stuck to the traditional luxury feel and design but they have also put out a device that caters for their traditional sport oriented market. Expected to retail at £990 the Tag Heuer Connected will spot an Intel chip and run the Android Wear Operating System. Could this be the smart watch that finally wins over the traditional luxury watch market?
The Connected is modeled on the company's pre-existing Carrera family and comes fitted with three digital watch faces. The straps are made of vulcanized rubber available in seven different colors while the rest of its body is crafted out of grade-two titanium. Despite being one of the more spectacular smart watches the Connected also suffers from being a tad bit oversized. In fact it's so big that company has admitted a lady's version will only be availed once technology allows a smaller watch to be crafted.
The android operating system will be run by a 1.6 GHz dual core Intel processor supported by 1GB of RAM and a storage unit of 4GB. This will be wrapped around a sapphire crystal scratch-resistant screen boasting of a 1.5 inch circular LTPS LCD display. Its resolution will be about 360×360 ultimately having a pixel density of 240ppi. Weighing 52 grams the watch will have a 410mAh battery that will need to be charged at least once every two days.
Tag Heuer C.E.O has in the past admitted that he had at first wanted he watch to run on Apple's ios platform but Hermes the French luxury giant beat him to it. This would have a much better scenario as most luxury shoppers are also iPhone users. Either way the Connected will be able to sync with Apple devices for menial task such as texting. The rest of its features are available on the Android Wear Store for download. It should be noted that most pre-installed apps are geared towards sports such as golf, motor racing and trail walking.
Tag Heuer has unveiled a promotion that will see the company replace the Connected with a mechanical watch if one does not find it useful or pleasurable. This should work well for those who are still not sold on the idea of having a computer chip their watches. It doesn't hurt to try.
Pros and Cons
The Tag Heuer Connected isn't perfect but it does beat out most of its competitors at what a good luxury watch does. Some of these include the fact that it is a status symbol as it is manufactured by a Swiss watch maker, it is made of luxury watch materials and it is aesthetically appealing unlike the apple watch. It does suffer drawbacks such as poor battery life, huge build and the fact that smart watches don't really add any value that smart phones already do.
The Connected is a game changer in the smart watch wars and could be the first watch that helps transition traditional watch fanatics to a new era. It looks like a luxury watch and functions like a smart watch and this is why you should consider it.

STRIP CLUB OUTREACH REPORT: On Saturday, February 27th, we served up home made chicken casserole, scalloped potatoes, mixed veggie salad, rolls and a delicious chocolate cake inside the locker room of our local adopted strip club. The employees were very excited to see us and LOVED the food. They raved and raved on how delicious everything was & because we changed our scheduled night going into the club and are going earlier, we are able to catch the day shift & the night shift. Many girls told us they had heard that we come & were excited to finally meet the team and eat the comfort food. As the team prayed, many of the girls transparently opened up to us with their stories of struggles and heartache. I was able to get a couple of the girls' phone numbers as they shared with me that they and their boyfriends want to come to church. Because the team is made up of servants from different denominations, it was great to see the girls' expressions when they realized we represent the unity and oneness of the body of Christ. They were deeply moved that so many people & churches care for them. Steve and I were able to answer some deep theological questions from the manager at the end of the night. He truly is searching and literally told us 'I am afraid of dying & want to make sure I'm going to heaven'. We led him through the Roman's road of salvation and encouraged him to start reading in the book of John, asking God to reveal Himself to him. All in all many, many seeds were planted. Please agree with us that it's within fertile soil these seeds will grow into mature oaks of splendor for His glory!
BIBLES NEEDED: We are in need of Bibles to distribute during outreaches. We firmly believe in the power of the Word not returning void and include it in every outreach. We don't want to hand them lipgloss & a business card, we want to give them what will change their lives forever! If you, your church, small group, business or organization can provide them, please contact us.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED: We are wanting to increase our monthly food outreaches to two a month instead of one, but this means we need MORE HELP. If you are interested in being a cook, gift assembler or on the outreach team, please contact Pastor Julie. We also have the following areas in which to serve:

Prosecutors announce a new law which will force thugs to be placed in prison for 4 years who carry acid on the streets. The Crown Prosecution Service made this decision to charge the future offenders who carry corrosive substance in street. An offensive weapon with corrosive substance might to a four-year jail term.
Tougher charges will be pressed against the victim who throws acid and misses the victim which will cause the offender a jail term of life. The decision was taken as a result of public concern about the acid attacks. The consequences of acid attacks are horrible and female victims end up getting a totally different unwanted life. This is not limited to acid attack but includes any potentially harmful substance.
Everyone might be wondering, "Why such a harsh sentence for acid attacks?"
The announcement of the decision came shortly after a burglar admitted inflicting 24 percent burns on a 69-year-old woman. He had sprayed corrosive liquid on her after breaking into her home. The same burglar had also threatened a 90-year-old woman with acid during another break-in and had used a corrosive substance in other attacks.
The Director of public prosecutions played a vital role in this decision. She wanted to give courts the maximum power to tackle the acid attack.
Another reason for such heavy sanctions was to create fear for those who carried acid rather than a knife or other weapon in hope for escaping victim's justice. The acid carrying activity was to be demolished and these new sanctions would make sure that something like this happens in reality.
"The point is that if you can't just expect to carry acid around without an excuse. It counts as an offensive weapon just as much as a knife or a screwdriver could be," Ms Saunders told the Evening Standard.
The evening standard London newspaper today included this news as a victory on the front page.

Now that I'm feeling a little bit (a LOT!) better, I want to dive into Kenya and share some stories with y'all from our amazing trip. There are so many wonderful memories from my time there, and I'd like to write them all down, but I fear that would take months! So let's start with a little girl who turned out to be an extraordinary gift...
Our arrival in the village of Marwa that early Saturday morning was nothing short of miraculous. Our bus was swamped by a thousand tiny hands, eager to touch us and hear our voices. We were rockstars. They were our adoring fans. Little did they know just how much we adored them.
Getting off the bus was no mean feat. No one on our team could move more than one tiny step at a time, as hundreds of smiling, laughing little ones reached out for the chance to hold our hands, put on our sunglasses, or clutch our fingers. All any of us could do was look up at each other, our eyes like saucers, our faces stretched wide with grins, and think, "Me?"
At least, that's what I was thinking. In that incredible moment, I saw Jesus clearer than I ever have before. One of my team members later said she believed the children of Marwa showed us what Jesus wants to see in our faces: Expectation without fear. Love without condition. Hope.
I saw I had much to learn from these children...one in particular.
We spent every morning and afternoon at the village for the next five days, teaching in classrooms, helping with construction on the secondary school, and building relationships. By Monday, I realized one little girl kept showing up wherever I was, her bright, gap-toothed smile wide each time I looked down to see her standing next to me. I'll admit that with nearly identical school uniforms (save various stages of wear and tear) and uniformly shaved heads, it took me some time to recognize familiar faces. This beautiful little girl couldn't have been more than six years old, but her expression was always one of curiosity and understanding that defied her years. She looked at me like she could see through every fear and flaw and peer straight into my heart. Perhaps she could...for that's where she remains.
|My best girl.
Each day, when the children greeted us, I would look down and see her face. She sought me out. I couldn't imagine why, or what she saw in me that made us gravitate towards one another like magnets, but it was my favorite time of day...seeing her face and feeling the tug of her hand on mine.
|Dancing with Jennifer during "Little Sally Walker."
Anne said something that sounded like "Wait-ah wat-ah" and I turned to the little girl and repeated the phrase.
She smiled shyly and dipped her head low. "Lucy," she replied in a small voice.
My heart lept.
"Jesus," I thought, "How is that you love me so much?"
I almost didn't dare believe what I'd heard. Lucy. Could it be true?
When I was a child, I would sit for hours and watch episode after episode of "I Love Lucy." I couldn't get enough. I still can't. Lucille Ball will forever fascinate and inspire me. She's brought me more laughter than anyone else in this world. To say that I'm a fan would be a gargantuan understatement.
Years ago, I decided I wanted to name my daughter Lucy- in honor of my favorite commedianne- in hopes of instilling a strong, independent spirit, a love for life, and a passion for family and community.
|Lucy, representing my alma mater.
|Me and my girl.
Anyone who knows me knows this...and hearing that this child's name was Lucy was a gift from the Savior, an acknowledgement of what I mean to Him, a whisper of His love to remind me when I forget.
What a sweet sound.
Until next time,

- What does it cost?
What does it cost?
How much money you need while in Australia varies according to your lifestyle and requirements.
Make sure your budget is flexible enough to allow for unexpected costs such as emergencies and health expenses, and study-related costs such as field trips and textbooks.
If you are a study abroad student, you must pay a flat tuition fee to UQ per semester. The 2019 tuition fee is AUD$12,650 per semester and the 2020 tuition fee will be AUD$12,900 per semester.
A standard full-time study load for one semester at UQ is eight units (which usually equates to four courses).
Go to the OANDA global currency converter website for an estimate of the tuition fees in your local currency.
If you are an exchange student, you must pay tuition fees to your home institution, based on its fee requirements. Contact the Exchange Office at your home institution for more information.
View the student refund policies.
Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) provides international students with basic cover for medical and hospital care costs while in Australia.
OSHC is a compulsory requirement for a student visa and is available from any government-approved OSHC provider. Prices vary depending on your particular situation.
If you choose, UQ can organise OSHC for you through its preferred provider.
There is a non-refundable visa charge when you apply for your visa. For more information on visa fees and charges please visit the Department of Home Affairs website.
Make sure you allow sufficient time for your student visa to be processed as it can take several months depending on the country you come from.
For more information on the current visa processing times and fees, please contact your nearest Australian Embassy, Consulate or High Commission. They will also be able to give you further information about how to apply for a student visa, and whether you will be required to undergo health checks or provide chest X-rays.
As a guide, if you are living in shared accommodation off-campus you will pay between AUD$17,400 and AUD$25,920 per calendar year.
View the Expenses guide to determine which other ongoing costs you should consider.
Personal access to a computer and the Internet is recommended for all students and, in most programs, is required.
While computers are available on campus, students are advised to bring a computer with them or to purchase or hire a computer in Australia.
For students who wish to purchase a car, costs can vary from AUD$5000 to AUD$25,000 or more and running costs after purchase price are about AUD$100 per week. UQ strongly recommends that you use public transport.
International students and dependants in Australia on student dependant visas who are residing in Australia will automatically receive permission to work with their visa grant. Please note that a Tax File Number is required before undertaking work.
More information about applying for the Tax File Number, and obtaining part-time work while studying, will be given during Orientation week.
How many hours a week can I work?
Holders of a student visa can work up to 40 hours per fortnight while their University program is in session, and full-time during University vacations. In general, students should not expect to cover tuition fees or living expenses from casual work.

Vacation type
Small group vacationsSmall group travel is not large group travel scaled down. It is modelled on independent travel but with the advantage of a group leader to take care of the itinerary, accommodation and tickets, and dealing with the language. Its easy to tick off the big sights independently but finding those one-off experiences, local festivals, traveling markets and secret viewpoints is almost impossible for someone without the insider knowledge gained from years in the field. If youre heading off on a gap year your, perhaps but for those with a two-week vacation, a small group tour will save valuable planning time.
The leaders are not guides theyre not there to shepherd you around. Instead, theyll let you know which local restaurant serves great value food without running the risk of travelers tummy. Theyll allow you to avoid hour-long queues at train stations and attractions.
We like to think of small group travel as the Goldilocks option. It is independent travel without the fuss, worry and bunk beds and organised travel without the coaches. And its cheaper than a tailor made tour. Its sits somewhere in the middle and we think its just about right.
What are the main benefits?Big experiences
Have big, life-enriching experiences that would be impossible to organise without lots of time and insider knowledge.
Make the most of your vacation time by letting someone else do the hard work and boring logistics!
Peace of mind
Small group tours take care of the security aspects and provide a safety net should anything unexpected happen.
Who is it ideal for?Travelers who are short of time
If you dont have three months to spend exploring, small groups trips let you cover more ground in less time. Your days are not spent queuing for tickets or finding hotels so you can squeeze more into your vacation.
Solo travelers whod like company
Likeminded travel companions plus peace of mind for those traveling alone. Single supplements are usually available providing privacy if you want it.
Less confident travelers
Stray from the tourist trail without worrying about getting lost, and meet local people without dealing with the language barrier.
MythbusterI wont get any privacy!
Couples and friends have private rooms, and you can choose to eat alone or not. Single supplements give solo travelers their own room.
There wont be any free time
Free mornings or afternoons let you explore on your own, or just relax.
The accommodation will be basic
Trips are as high or low end as you like. Though off the beaten track destinations wont have luxury hotels, this is all part of the adventure.
I wont like the other travelers!
Tour operators try to create groups with a similar demographic age, families, activity levels... Chances are, youll even make new friends.
Will we be following an umbrella?
Meet a group leaderAs well as taking care of all the day-to-day practicalities, your group leader is the one who will turn your trip into an adventure. Leaders are extraordinary characters the kind of person who has spent 14 Christmas days on the slopes of Mount Everest, runs marathons wearing tiger suits to raise funds for their conservation and thinks nothing of leading an overland trip in Sudan or Afghanistan. Fearless and inspiring, group leaders are as important as the destination itself.
Meet a local guideNo matter how experienced your group leader, they can never make up for the knowledge gained from a lifetime in the destination. Thats why many of our trips work with local guides around the world who invite you into their homeland with pleasure. As well as doing crazy things like climbing Kilimanjaro 100 times, they also donate their time to local projects supported by travelers such as rebuilding Sri Lankan villages following the 2004 tsunami.
Responsible tourism
Responsible tourism: Oman adventure vacation
EnvironmentWe are very aware of the economic, ecological and ethical impact tourism can have on ancient cultures and fragile environments. We realise that taking clients through such a region can have a negative impact on the the environment if not handled responsibly. On all our Oman trips we therefore go to great lengths to minimise the negative and accentuate the positive after all, there are also many good things that the traveler can bring
We have a strict environmental policy to make sure that the fragile eco-structure of the coast and the desert is not damaged or spoilt in any way. Our guides are trained to uphold this policy and all clients are fully briefed on appropriate/responsible behaviour whilst in wilderness areas. Our Leave No Trace ethic is applied to all trips in all regions, and as tour operators is something we are careful to promote.
By keeping the group size to a maximum of 12, we can also minimise the human impact on the fragile sites we visit particularly important as this trip visits some remote sites that arent policed by tourist regulators.
In addition, when you take one of our trips, we make a contribution to Carbon Clear an organisation devoted to offsetting or neutralising harmful greenhouse gas emissions such as those caused by your flight. They work with hundreds of organisations to measure their carbon footprint, in an effort to then reduce their carbon emissions. This is done by funding projects across the world that will reduce greenhouse gases on your behalf such as through sustainable energy or rainforest restoration.
CommunityIn Oman we use local ground handlers who in turn book locally run hotels, providing employment for a number of members of staff and support families. The ground handlers also use local drivers and camp staff, and ensure that all supplies are purchased locally for the journey. This means that all the operational costs go directly into the local economy, and benefit the local community.
In each area we employ and develop close relationships with drivers, staff and guides. We feel the interaction between our friends and our clients offers both parties a valuable understanding between cultures. This is of particular importance in areas where there are limited employment opportunities - by working with local people and communities we are able to extend tourism in Oman away from the more commercial centers and into the more remote desert regions.
We also support several NGOs around the world such as the Hope Foundation, A-Cet and Adopt-A-Minefield, which are all carefully selected to improve the standard of living for the communities we visit. In 2009 we also launched our own charitable foundation which allows us to channel profits from the trips and fundraising events, directly into community projects in the countries we visit. Details of current projects and scholarships supported by the foundation are available on request.

"You never want to solve a problem. Just keep making excellent progress."
- Dave Collum
It's been a busy month in the Baran lab, and the blog has been neglected, so while my column fractions concentrate down, I figure I might as well profess my love for Dave Collum. What makes the man so great? Read this paper, and you will understand (1). He once (almost certainly more than once) said that if there was one paper he's published that organic chemists should read, it is that one. I have read it, and I am now a better man for it.
"Who funds this $hit?"
- Dave Collum
Dave Collum has a Twitter account. Not like how ESPN has a Twitter account. More like Kenny Powers has a Twitter account. Here is what Dave Collum has to say about the world:
Oh, did you say something? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of Dave Collum being awesome. Did you notice how that's all from the last 24 hours? Also, @DavidBCollum, we can totally relate to the white powder in a plastic bag - 500 g of stevioside looks the same as 500 g of all other white powders.
"I'll tell you how to write a proposal that will fund this $hit."
- Dave Collum
Dave Collum, for all his jokes, is an excellent scientist. His philosophy, as best I can tell, is, "do good science and learn something". He is such an excellent scientist, in fact, that he has a whole lecture on how YOU can be a good scientist (organic chemist, really). If you haven't seen it, take a look. I have taken a look, and I am now a better scientist for it. There are people here who keep it on their desks and refer back to it with reasonable frequency. Dave Collum also believes that one of the great mysteries of our time is, "why is there yellow fuzz on top of the column?" I too believe this is a great mystery.
(1) While you're at it, go take a look at Anne McNeil's Wikipedia project. And then edit some Wikipedia articles.
Dave Collum responds!

2007scape Blog Day 2 - f2p training, making & losing bank
2007scape - am I really doing this?
Day 2: Making and losing bank
No, this isn't actually my second day playing RuneScape. I didn't play 24 hours yesterday to run down the trade clock, although it was tempting.
I started off by getting 40 attack, which feels great. Then I noticed I'll need to catch up on about a dozen range levels, which I had no motivation to do. I wanted to make a little money first, to make everything a little easier.
I started by selling anything I didn't need, then buying a ton of pk supplies (and a flashy outfit) then heading to Edgeville to sell things for insane prices, in true Kwik-E-Mart fashion.
I noticed it's not always very steady money, but if you do it right you can definitely make some good profit. For people trying to make some quick profit, it can be a really good method to build up a little bank. Here's some tips if you're interested: first of all, make sure you have a big supply of different items that someone might say they're buying - rune weapons, addy arrows, fish, strength pots, amulets, even d'hide, monk sets, maple bows. My picture isn't the best example, I really should have all of these things in my inventory. I just noticed I could make about 75gp profit on swordfish, compared to about 20gp with lobsters, so I invested a little in them. Also strength pots, some people will buy them for 1k each or more, I guess not knowing I paid less than 300gp for these 3 doses.
tl;dr version - spam your popular/highest margin items, and keep a lot of other items on you to boost gp made per hour.
Here's another little tip to stay wealthy - keep a good stack of items you use in your bank. You want to be the one selling someone a rune 2h for 50k, not the one buying one for that much. Plus I like having my bank organized :)
Unfortunately while I was merching in Edgeville, someone challenged me to a risk fight, which I shouldn't have accepted since I hadn't got my range levels yet. He rightfully took my iron (t) plate and about 300k in other items, so I was basically back to where I started. I guess it's time to get that training done.
I needed a few strength levels too, so I took my d'hide set and short bow as well as my rune scimmy to flesh crawlers, which are pretty good experience at low levels. They max 1 damage, so they're great for pure training - especially with their decent HP, so they give 100 experience per.
I found a nice little safespot to use after their aggressiveness wears off:
|You can also stand south of the skeletons and shoot north.
It was eventually time for some faster range experience after I was in the high 50's, so I went down to the 4th floor to kill some ankou's. And they're great - definitely my favourite place to train range in f2p. High exp per kill, drops that more than paid for my mith arrows, and an easy safespot. Here's a picture of the second safespot you can go to, again once the aggressiveness wears off.
Now that my bank is healthy, and my stats are ready, I think it's time to go collect some rune 2h's in the wild.

Which must be why I've started and restarted it five times, each from a different perspective or starting at a different point in the story.
Now I think I've got it figured out. The story, I've realized, should be about the villain of the other attempts, and her rise and possibly fall as the leader of an outlaw gang of dinosaur bandits.
For the record - or my own amusement - this is as far as I got in my last attempt:
The first rays of morning peeked over the craggy mountaintops, flooding the valley with a golden light that ushered the chill from the air. Yellow grasses still sparkling with dew swayed in a breeze that smelled of flowers. A creature bellowed somewhere in the distance but didn't break the tranquility of the wilderness.
Carmen [surname] sat in the long shadow of a sprawling acacia, one only a few trees in the area, shaking and pulling her knees to her chin.
Yeah, not my best, and I really had no idea where I was going.

BABY buggy manufacturer Maclaren has been forced into receivership, after a £20m rescue programme failed.
Receivers KPMG were called in last month after sales collapsed and it failed to secure new suppliers in China. KPMG receiver Alan Graham said: "The company was turning over £15m but it was a pretty battered brand."
Jack Lyons, the financier disgraced after his involvement in the Guinness scandal, attempted to revive Sunleigh, Maclaren's owner, through his Albion Trust. However, he failed and Sunleigh was taken private in 1998 to avert a cash crisis.
Sunleigh is now controlled by Farzad Rastegar, a former non-executive director of venture capitalists Apax Partners and business associate of Mr Lyons. But despite investing close to £20m over the years, it has failed to turn a profit. In October, 150 workers in its Northampton factory were laid off.
When Sunleigh bought Maclaren in 1994 it had a turnover of £26m and made profits of £2m. Sunleigh's other businesses, which include a golf-cart manufacturer and a sail boat business, are not thought to be in receivership.
Mr Rastegar has bought back the Maclaren brand and assets for £700,000. However, the shell company has left debts worth "several million pounds" said Mr Graham: "Unsecured creditors are not likely to see much back from the company."
Maclaren baby buggies were orginally made by former Spitfire aircraft engineer Owen Maclaren in 1965.

Wrapping Adsense in Blog Post85 comments Posted by Bonnie S. Calhoun at 10:07 PM
by Bonnie Calhoun
This is the third in the series of Adsense posts. The other two are HERE, and HERE.
Today I'm going to teach you how to wrap Adsense code into a blog post. The first example isn't exactly rocket science so even the most novice of bloggers will be able to accomplish this with ease.
First the glaring question: Why would I want to give myself the heart palpitations that come with messing with the stupid HTML in my template to put in an equally stupid ad?
LOL...the answer to that: Ads placed within blog posts have been tested and proved to give the maximum in CTR (click thru rate). LOL...this means that you make a lot more money than with other locations on your page.
Let's first look at the use of the Adsense Widget.
From your Dashboard, click Layout. It will open on the Page Elements page. Click the Edit link in the Post Box. There is a clickable link in that open Configure box that you can click to put Ads between any number of posts. Read this Blogger Article about Placing Ads between posts.
From here on, it's going to get a little tougher, so the first thing I would recommend is Backing Up Your Template if you already don't have a copy of it saved in a NotePad file on your own computer. When you open the Layout tab, and click Edit HTML it will give you the Backup link...Please USE IT!!!
Okay...you're all backed up...now on to putting Adsense in your posts. Check the Expand Widget Templates box above the Edit window. Search for the following lines:
You will need to Parse Your Adsense Code like I taught you to do in THIS POST. This is how the post section code will look after you add the Parsed Adsense Code and the line to direct the ad to sit left, or right. In this code I have it set for left. To move it to the other side of the post, change the float position to right.

A heads up.
Looks like the market is flooded with em',so check it out before U buy one!
They are a great product but the copy's are naturally shiet.
This is how the originals look/are:
There's pics of copy's in the links above,how to spot differences etc.
But what U see in the originals link above is how they should look.
U guys can do the rest of the work.
Remember,dont settle for an inferior copy,get the real deal!
btw does anyone sell the real deal,the genuine ones on here?
I'm after the Mega Raizin,the purple one.
Originally Posted by beeza

I wanna know too!
what I found is that the original VS-ME comes with 5 earthing cables of different lengths, fake ones come with 3 cables. The other differences can only be seen if u have a real one next to it. I'll post pics in the review thread.
The 'Mega raizin' the purple one,just has a + and - lead dosen't it?
It just hooks up to the battery.
yeap, like the blue raizin, the earthing cables are attached to the battery with and attachment the can connect 6 cables to it. One for the Raizin 5 for earthing
So it does then?
I thought it just had a + and - off the unit and that connects to the battery?
I have the blue one with the cables already..
Sorry dude miscommunication.
VS-M is just the Raizin
VS-ME is Razin with 5 earth cables and attachment.
You are correct the Raizin itself just have the + and - cables.
Ah gotcha,cheers for clearing that up mate!
As Promised
First question..... Is this real or fake?
Lets start comparing... starting with the front of the box
The one on the right is the real deal, left is fake. The difference - The Illustrated Raizin on the box cover is clearly visible
Back of box is the most obvious
On the fake packaging(left) the print of the Raizin looks like it's glowing.
Basically print quality is a little worse than the original, but if you don't have a real box next to it then it is a bit hard to tell.
Now on to the product itself .....
Guess which is which
Main - tell tale signs
1) The "Mega" Word is thicker on the fake
2) The top of the LED display is smooth on the fake
3) The print of "15" on the 2 rear resistors is very faint, the real one is engraved in white
4) The word "condensor" on the super condensor is in normal font as opposed to being in bold on the real one
5) There are 2 of the blue things on the front of the fake and only one on the real.
I read that another way to tell is the K symbol on the condensors, unfortunately on the fake I got it also had the K. I am actually quite impressed with the copy as I would never had known if I had not had a real one to compare with.
So is this the genuine article?
Nope.. it's the fake one
Hope this helps
Just for laughs... At least the seller is truthful

paersonaly i think even the original is a complete waste of money. How does it improve power at all?
Pretty impressive! Though, I wonder, how much of a difference there is in the actual usability/performance of the fake VS real - any input guys?
