Yehôshûa' Yehôshûa', when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. Matthew 27:50-53

Prayers NEEDED!
Because of the "warfare" I have been going through, with the devil, and his demon's, I am aiming at, "24 hour a day prayer" from people all around the earth, i.e. Where ever there are believing people around the earth, who read my pages, and study my work, and listen to my Scriptures to Music, who pray for me, I am covering myself with the prayers of those persons, as well as, "Prayers from Others." "Please" and "Thank YOU" for "YOUR" prayers.
You are "not safe" in THE PRIVACY OF YOUR OWN LOCKED HOME, from, THE DEVIL! Plz pray (James 5:16) to The Almighty God in & through the name of His only begotten Son, The Word of God, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS Rev 19:13 -16 for me, & ask him, to "Totally" Heal me, an old widow, (Isa 1:17) and "PROTECT & DELIVER" me, every moment, of every day, for the rest of my life, upon the face of this earth, from THE DEVIL, who USES "WIRES & DEVICES" TO TUNE INTO HUMAN BODIES, & COMMUNICATE INTO HUMAN MINDS, & TOUCH, RAPE, TORMENT, HURT, & OR EVEN, KILL, PEOPLE, & ALSO TO BECOME, "ONE" WITH THE BODY, OR BODIES OF, THE HUMAN PERSON, TO COMMUNICATE INTO HUMAN MINDS, & TOUCH, TORMENT, HURT, & OR EVEN, KILL, & EAT PEOPLE! Hebrews 2:14..1 Peter 5:8

Topcon Positioning Group launches point creation software
Topcon Positioning Group has released Topcon Point Manager, a point creation software that's available as a plug-in for Autodesk AutoCAD and Autodesk Revit users in the U.S. and Canada.
According to Topcon, the solution is designed to automate point creation and easily import and export layout files to and from a robotic total station. It'll also simplify the BIM-to-field process with a faster, more seamless point creation experience from within the design platform, reducing the time and cost of layout, Topcon added.
"Unlike standalone point creation software, which requires the user to leave their particular design environment, users of these two widely used Autodesk technologies will be able to access the solution as a plug-in component to their design package," said Ray Kerwin, director of Topcon global product planning. "Users will benefit from the ability to automatically create multiple points on BIM objects and 2D/3D drawings from within the Autodesk environments. Just as importantly, however, they will see an increase in their quality assurance and control efforts through easily generated point and deviation reports; a likely reduction in on-site personnel (key during these challenging times), and, with the simplified processes, avoid costly construction errors and rework — the goal of most any operation working in today's highly competitive construction environment."
In addition, Topcon MAGNET users can wirelessly send points to the field for layout and completed layout files can be sent back to the office to update the model to match as-built conditions.
"With the cloud-connected MAGNET workflow, BIM personnel or CAD teams can immediately share information to and from the field crew using a layout device. Doing so can prove invaluable, as any conflicts in point data can be quickly identified, keeping production levels up and eliminating costly rework," Kerwin added.
Topcon Positioning Group designs, manufactures and distributes precision precision measurement and workflow solutions for the global construction, geospatial and agriculture markets.

Crock-Pot Recipes App
Company: iCookbook.com
Version: 1.0.1
Price: $3.99
Requires: iPhone 3GS and above, iPod touch 3rd generation and above, iPad, iOS 4.3 or later.
In my house, when the smoke alarm goes off it means Mom cooked and dinner's ready. Translation: I'm a lousy cook. But making dinner is a necessary evil. I can use the crock pot but I only have two recipes. We can't live on beef stew and pulled pork for the rest of our lives, so I needed more crock pot recipes. Crock-Pot Recipes App to the rescue.
Crock-Pot Recipes App comes with 250 recipes covering appetizers to main dishes to desserts to stews and more. Each month the app will remind you to download ten free recipes for that month. Additional recipes based on a theme, such as Party Starters, Diet Collection, Spectacular Sides, Asian Inspired, and Game Day Grub are available as in-app purchases, from 99 cents to $2.99.
There's a lot to discover in Crock-Pot Recipes App, and I'm sure I haven't found everything this app has to offer. Let's start with the Recipes button. Click on Recipes and you're brought to a page of twelve random recipes, complete with photo of the finished product. Swipe up for more recipes. Every recipe you own will be found here.
In the upper right corner is an Info button. The information found here alone is worth the price of the app. You'll find a handy Conversion chart, along with Food Substitutions, Timers, How-to Videos, a Shopping List, and the Crock-Pot Recipes App User Guide. All this information can also be found within an individual recipe.
Filtering will help narrow down recipe choices. Once you've chosen, the finished product is shown in full color, along with the ingredients, cook time, difficulty rating, and user rating. A note pad next to the ingredient list is helpful for jotting down substitutions or your own tweaks or thoughts about the recipe. Across the top are buttons to share on Facebook, email or print the recipe, add ingredients to a shopping list, add to your own Recipe Box, or add to a Meal Builder.
Voice Command is available when preparing the recipe. It doesn't read to you; rather you say what you want the app to do. Saying Next will turn to the next step, My Notes will bring up a note pad. This is a useful feature when your hands are dirty and you don't want to touch the screen; however I found this feature to work only some of the time. Using a stylus is easier and keeps the screen clean.
My Recipe Box allows you to add favorite recipes without having to search for them later. It's also great place to add recipes you really want to try in the future.
Crock-Pot Recipes App was released earlier this year, so I'm sure they'll be adding new features as they get customer feedback. If you have a crock pot gathering dust in the back of a kitchen cabinet, pull it out, download Crock-Pot Recipes App, and try something new for dinner tonight.

text: 01 January 2013 Dry Bulk | Engineering & Equipment A powerful pneumatic railcar opener has solved persistent work slowdowns caused by difficulty opening discharge gates, allowing the CEMEX Cement Terminal in Sacramento to maintain its aggressive schedule, while minimizing risk to personnel and damage to gates. The Martin® Railcar Opener improves unloading efficiency and speed, without gang tactics, stoop labor or excessive noise. The CEMEX Sacramento plant opened in 1999 and supplies cement for concrete and ready-mix operations throughout central California. Cement is delivered to the terminal by rail from the firm's California manufacturing facilities, either from the Victorville plant, roughly 400 miles (640km) away or from the Davenport plant, a trip of about 165 miles (265km). Four times a week, the terminal receives trains of 40 railcars. Unloading proceeds around the clock — one car every 40 minutes — until all cars are emptied and the train returns to the manufacturing plant for another load. To keep the trains in motion and the terminal's five silos full (total capacity of 8,500 tonnes), each railcar needs to be opened and emptied without lost time or risk of injury. Terminal manager Don Wilkey realized the consistent problems opening the discharge gates of the bottom-dump hopper cars was slowing down the process. "The weight of the cargo load against the discharge gate was making the gates very hard to open," he explained. The plant needed a system to assist in opening the gates, without the backbreaking labour of using a bar or requiring the unloading crew to crawl underneath the car. Wilkey contacted a representative from Martin Engineering, who recommended the company's rugged, air- powered Railcar Openers, which can open even the most stubborn hopper car gate with 2,500ft-lb (346kg-m) of torque at90psi(6.2bar).Theadjustablebaseallowsoneworkerto manoeuvre the wheeled cart through tight spaces, improving loading efficiency while greatly reducing safety risks for personnel. The height-adjustable unit can accommodate different car gate designs and variations in unloading platforms. Three 10" × 4" (25.4 cm x 10.2 cm) pivoting pneumatic wheels allow the unit to maintain contact with the travelling capstan of rack and pinion gate openers, while stabilizers slide out to provide a wide base for increased leverage. A steel tube frame delivers long life under tough,'real-world' conditions. The smooth, non-impacting force opens gates without costly damage, yet is able to operate from a minimal air supply of 20cfm (566L/min) and with noise levels measured at just 83dBA at the operator's position (one meter from the air motor muffler). "The Martin Railcar Opener is a great piece of equipment," Wilkey continued. "We have two units — one at each of our unloading stations — so we can open several cars quickly. Our unloading crew would sure hate to try to get along withoutit. Wethinkit'sthebestdooropeneronthe market, bar none," he said. Martin Engineering also offers railcar connectors to funnel material to the under-track system to prevent wind loss and eliminate the safety hazard of requiring workers to crawl under the car. Installed between the tracks, Boot-Lift® Connectors form a link between the railcar and a plant's under-track conveying system. Powered by air, they raise the unloading boots to the gates for clean, efficient and safe unloading of bottom discharge hopper cars. CEMEX is a global building materials company that produces, distributes and sells cement, ready-mix concrete, aggregates and related building materials in more than 50 countries. Founded in Mexico in 1906, the company's US network includes 13 cement plants, 46 strategically located distribution terminals, more than 100 aggregate quarries and more than 450 ready-mix concrete plants. CEMEX USA was named the EPA Energy Star Partner of the Year for 2009 and 2010.

The flooding situation in British Columbia has entered a "period of stabilization" after at-risk regions received less rain than expected, but forecasters say warm weather will likely trigger further threats later this week.
Emergency Management Minister Bowinn Ma said Monday that communities such as Grand Forks, about 520 kilometres east of Vancouver, saw less precipitation than was originally forecasted for the weekend.
The result is the provincial river forecast centre downgrading flood warnings to flood advisories, including in the entire Boundary Region where sandbagging has been at full speed for days.
As many as 41 properties in the area were under evacuation orders at one time on Sunday.
Ma warned, however, that diminished risk does not mean no risk, and devastated communities such as Cache Creek, 350 kilometres northeast of Vancouver, remains under flood warnings.
"Communities that face challenges last week, such as Cache Creek, Okanagan Indian Band and Grand Forks can expect a period of stabilization for the rivers throughout this week," Ma said.
"While the weather was co-operative, this does not mean that conditions have resolved entirely on the ground."
The province estimates that about 50 people in B.C. remain affected by evacuation orders triggered by flooding or flood risks, while another 2,000 are on alert in case of flooding.
Dave Campbell, head of the BC River Forecast Centre, said during a news conference that the next few days will see cooler, unsettled weather patterns that contribute little to flood risks.
However, the anticipated spike in temperatures later in the week could create more problems, possibly affecting communities that weren't hit last week, he said.
Campbell said above-seasonal temperatures in late April and early May have burned through about a quarter of B.C.'s seasonal melt, which is much faster than normal, however, there is still more snow in higher elevations.
"For the next period of warming, we're anticipating an additional round of accelerated snow melt," Campbell said. "We could see, again, another period of elevated flood risk in the province and bringing on potentially new areas that have not experienced flooding so far this year, particularly as we start to melt the higher-elevation snow and start to bring in runoff into the larger rivers."
Environment Canada is forecasting temperatures in Grand Forks to hit 32 degrees by Sunday.
Ma also responded to reports that Cache Creek residents wanted to engage the province "in big-picture planning" to limit the annual flood threat.
The minister said B.C. is developing a provincial flood strategy "that will inform … local mitigation plans" and will provide substantial funding toward emergency preparedness, but communities also need to make decisions on what they want to prioritize in those plans.
"A lot of those conversations have to be held at the community level," Ma said. "It doesn't necessarily help to have the province come in with a top-down, heavy-handed approach to those conversations."

2010 is fast approaching the end and most shows on TV are in full on rerun mode. Below is a list of what I think are the best shows that aired in 2010. be aware that here may be some minor spoilers in the below list.
LOST: Season 6
I'm seriously missing LOST this season and some may question this but season 6 aired earlier this year. The final season had some great moments and like it or love it, I thought the ending was fitting and it actually moved me a little. It would have been nice to get some closure on a few of the outstanding mysteries but I feel the show went out in a great way.
Breaking Bad: Season 3
I'm new to Breaking Bad and started watching it post season 3. I admit that it took me a few episodes to get into it and I almost turned away but I'm really glad I kept with it. For those unfamiliar with the series, it follows a high school chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with cancer and decided to get into the business of making the purest form of Meth. Season 3 was high octane and filled with a great deal of emotion as life changes for our protagonist.
Dexter: Season 5
Everyone's favorite blood spatter analyst come serial killer is back and trying to deal with the loss of his wife. We got a glimpse of a vulnerable Dexter who breaks down during the 1st episode in what was such an emotionally charged episode it was almost difficult to watch. The actors (Michael C. hall in particular) really displayed just how versatile he can be. After season 4, I had low expectations for season 5 (how could I not) but I was pleasantly surprised that the quality didn't suffer all that much.
The Walking Dead: Season 1
The 1st season showcasing one of the best comic series' in years has finally come home courtesy of AMC. Sadly we were only treated to a short 6 episode inaugural season but what a wild ride it was. The writing was fantastic and the special effects were nothing short of spectacular. Hats of to Darabont and Gale Ann Hurd for assembling such an incredible crew and bug props to AMC for taking a chance on such a risky venture. They truly are the network to pay attention to.
Fringe: Season 3
The powers that be at Fox have decided to move Fringe to the "Friday Night Death Slot" when the show resumes in the new year – Those people are complete IDIOTS! Fringe is hands down the best Sci-Fi show on TV right now despite what those overpaid execs think. The show is so well written that it's amazing they've managed to keep it from getting too confusing for people like me. Hopefully the writers have been given notice that the show is coming to an end because I'd really hate for the show to end on the typical Season Finale cliffhanger only to feel like I had the greatest session of foreplay with no finish. Maybe another network like AMC could buy the rights to this show and take it to new places since Fox has no idea what they really have here.
The Big Bang Theory: Season 4
For me this is the very best in Sitcoms today. Each and every one of the guys is absolutely hilarious. From using a robotic arm as a masturbatory aid to discussing the greatest superheros they all have great comedic timing. My only gripe with this season is the addition of a quasi girlfriend, played by Mayim Bialik(Blossom) for Jim Parsons stoic and socially akward Sheldon. While there have been some moments of great humor, Blossom just seems to be trying too hard to be the female counter-part to him and she just doesn't work. Aside from that, the show rocks.
How I Met Your Mother: Season 6
Another sitcom I find to be incredibly entertaining and funny keeps taking me tuning in every week. I really want to know who Ted marries. The 2 best characters on the show are played by Jason Segel as Marshall and Neil Patrick Harris the womanizing suit wearing Barney. I can't get enough of these 2 guys. Don't get me wrong, the entire cast works really well I just love those guys.
True Blood: Season 3
Some say that True Blood's 2nd season was a departure from what everyone fell in love (I'm not one of them – HELLO?!? Naked Anna Paquin. Need i say more?) then surely those naysayers loved Season 3. It was dark, bloody, sexy and well executed. What more can you want? It only left me hungry for Season 4.
South Park Season 14
Who could ever imagine that South Park would actually last 14 long seasons? The best thing about South Park is just how quickly Trey Parker and Matt Stone crank out episodes that poke fun at current events. They continually push the boundaries of TV while providing consistent side splitting scenarios for the residents of South Park Colorado. No one and no subject matter is safe and that;s what I love.

Pfizer vaccine for adults under 60
The AMA acknowledges the latest advice from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) recommending the COVID-19 vaccine by Pfizer (Comirnaty) is preferred in adults under the age of 60 years.
The AMA says the change to our COVID-19 vaccine roll out is based on the latest medical evidence and advice. "The Australian community can be reassured that the Commonwealth continues to take the advice of medical experts on how best to manage the risk of COVID-19 and target our vaccine roll out," AMA President, Dr Omar Khorshid said. "ATAGI has decided the AstraZeneca vaccine should be used for those patients who are 60 years of age and over based on an assessment of the current risks of COVID-19 in the community.
"With very low rates of community transmission, ATAGI has decided that Pfizer should be the preferred vaccine for anyone under the age of 60. People who have had the AstraZeneca vaccine should not be alarmed by this decision," Dr Khorshid said. "The risks of serious complications, including clotting, from the AstraZeneca vaccine are very low and Australia is now very good at detecting clots in patients who've had the AstraZeneca vaccine.

Shorter gap between jabs
On the 8 June 2021 the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) published an updated version of the administration of 2021 seasonal influenza vaccines advice. The new advice incorporates the latest ATAGI agreed recommendations on the relative timing of administering influenza vaccines and COVID-19 vaccines in 2021. The key changes in advice are as follows:
- the preferred minimum interval between influenza vaccine and a dose of COVID-19 vaccine is 7 days (previously 14 days) a shorter interval between the two vaccines (including co-administration) is acceptable when there:
- is increased risk of COVID-19 or another vaccine-preventable disease (e.g.) COVID-19, influenza outbreak, tetanus-prone wound)
- are logistical issues, e.g. difficulty scheduling visits to maintain the 7 day interval
- influenza vaccine can be given before or after any dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, with a minimum interval of 7 days
- an influenza vaccine can be given in between their two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine
- when scheduling influenza and COVID-19 vaccines, providers should prioritise COVID-19 vaccines for patients who are eligible to receive the vaccine now, then they can schedule the influenza vaccination
A news item providing these key changes in advice can be viewed here and the Health professional update – Updated ATAGI advice on administering seasonal influenza vaccines in 2021 can be viewed here.
Vaccination providers are also reminded that it is now mandatory to report all influenza vaccinations to the Australian Immunisation Register (AIR) (in effect since 1 March 2021).
Canadian First Nations incredible vaccine update
Investment in Aboriginal education
Thrive by Five, the national campaign to reform early learning and childcare, has welcomed the NSW Government's $23 million investment in Indigenous early learning announced in the State Budget. The Berejiklian Government investment will help increase opportunities for First Nations children to learn the language of their heritage, as well as increasing the enrolment of Indigenous children in early learning. "The science is very clear. Children's brains grow to 90 per cent of the size of an adult brain during their first five years. This makes those years absolutely critical to ensuring children have the opportunity thrive," Thrive by Five CEO Jay Weatherill said.

New CTG PBS Co-payment resources
New resources are available for GPs about the changes to the Closing the Gap (CTG) PBS Co-payment program due to take effect on 1 July 2021.
The CTG PBS Co-payment program was established in July 2010 to improve access to affordable PBS medicines for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living with, or at risk of, chronic disease, and who in their doctor's opinion would experience setbacks in the prevention or ongoing management of chronic disease if they did not take the prescribed medicine and would be unlikely to adhere to their medicines regimen without assistance through the program.

Suicide prevention manual
Professor Pat Dudgeon welcomed 250 plus attendees to the webinar for the launch today of the Manual of Resources in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Suicide Prevention.
The Manual is a collection of practical resources and tools that people, both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous, can use to make a real difference in promoting positive mental health and social emotional wellbeing, and preventing suicide in our communities.

Achieving healthy, safe digital ecosystems
New research led by Noongar researcher Dr Tristan Kennedy shows that social media offers many benefits to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, such as ways to establish and navigate identity and build and maintain strong connections to family and community. But it also found significant negative impact, with 97% of Indigenous people surveyed saying they experienced negative content on social media on a weekly basis, "grounded in ways of talking about Indigenous people and racist ideas that have pervaded Australian settler-colonial history".
Concerned that the cultural subtleties of offensive content are not readily identified by non-Indigenous platform moderators, the research identified the need to employ more Indigenous peoples in the platforms, but also in government, policy making institutions and education more generally.
The findings underscored issues raised by Associate Professor Megan Williams, about how important platforms like Facebook can be for communities and for raising issues more broadly. But she was also concerned by the "vitriol and racism" Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people face online and how their voices are missing at the table of so many discussions, and from all types of media.
A Wiradjuri scholar, Assistant Director and Research Lead at the University of Sydney's National Centre for Cultural Competence, and Co-Chair of Croakey Health Media, Williams has talked about the need to create "healthy, safe digital ecosystems", informed by First Nations voices and knowledges, such as the resources created to support the Stolen Generations by the Healing Foundation.

The Leap V2 packs a lot of the key features of more expensive Herman Miller models for quite a bit less. You can adjust all sorts of comfort factors, and this one has a very good lumbar support system for the price! We recommend it to anyone who's looking to save a bit of cash without cheaping out on something which will cause pain.
While it's still a higher-end chair, the Steelcase costs significantly less than a Herman Miller. It's an upper mid-range option that's ideal for someone looking for better ergonomics than you can get from a budget model, while still meeting a bottom line.
The Steelcase is also much more like a traditional desk chair than the modernist Herman Miller's. It has a familiar profile to other computer seats, and isn't obviously an ergonomic model. This one's good for staying inconspicuous in your workplace, and keeping a streamlined profile.
It looks fairly inocuous, but it packs a lot of ergonomic features that you won't find on anything cheaper. The best is the lumbar support. It's easy to personalize, and much better than anything else for the money.
The lumbar curve is adjustable, so you can change the profile to fit your own body. We love that you can also adjust how firm the support is! Having so many options means most people will be able to find the perfect setting to resolve their chronic back pain issues.
One unique feature that the Steelcase shares with the more expensive Herman Miller's: the back is designed to move with you! It's nice and high, so your shoulders are totally supported. The whole thing has a slight range of motion, so it can adjust to contour as you shift through your workday.
It combines flexible back architecture with foam cushioning. That's one key reason the Steelcase feels much more familiar than more modern support materials like you'd find on a Herman Miller. We think it's a great compromise for someone who wants modern ergonomics without ditching traditional cushion. It's still very breathable, too!
The tilt settings are all adjustable, from the maximum angle of recline to the tension on the tilt mechanism. We also like the Steelcase's unique tilt mechanism, which keeps you at a constant distance from your work. As you lean back, the seat moves forward (and vice versa) to make sure you don't end up craning your neck and straining your eyes to see properly from a reclining position. It's really great!
The armrests are pretty much infinitely adjustable. You can adjust the height, width, and even tilt settings on each.
As you'd expect, it has a pneumatic height adjustment piston and 360-degree rotation.
It comes in more than a dozen color options, all with black structural components.
You don't get nearly as long a warranty on one of these as you do on a Herman Miller. We'd recommend tacking on extended coverage, if that's an option at checkout.
We've found that Steelcase's also feel a bit cheap compared to the Herman Miller's, even though they include many of the key features. The build quality simply isn't as sturdy or reassuring.
It's not as ergonomic or adjustable overall as the Aeron or Embody. It's excellent for the price, but can't really compete with the Herman Miller's.
2. Herman Miller Aeron
This Herman Miller model has been an icon of the design world for over a decade now. It was pioneering when it came out, and it's still as innovative as most new chairs on the market.
The Aeron combines a professional, traditional aesthetic with lots of modern ergonomic advances. We especially love the adjustable lumbar support, as well as the pellicle mesh suspension. We'd recommend it to anyone who wants an excellent back pain relief in an executive, traditional package.
It's award-winning. While a lot of office chairs claim to be innovative in addressing back pain, the Aeron won loads of design awards for actually proving it. This model won the Design of the Decade award for the 90s, and it has a permanent place in the Museum of Modern Art. That's because it offers almost infinite adjustments. Even though other models have ergonomic features, they're not always adjustable. The Aeron stands out because all of the ergonomic features are completely adjustable.
And it really is adjustable. You can adjust the height, the depth of the seat, the back and lumbar supports, the armrests, and the tilt settings. The exceptional adjustability was what really made the Aeron stand out for many buyers. They said that even over the course of hours spent sitting down, they never felt fidgety or needed to shift their position.
It comes in three different sizes. That's a huge advantage, because you can buy one that fits your body perfectly, rather than having to settle for something that's almost the right size. Having a seat that's more closely sized to your body means the ergonomic features and supports will line up exactly as they're supposed to. That means maximum back pain prevention!
There are lots of ergonomic features onboard. The waterfall edge helps maintain good blood flow in your legs. The posture-fit lumbar attachment provides adjustable support for your lower back. It's one of the only adjustable lumbar supports on the market! There's also a special back support, which is designed to keep your pelvis tilted slightly forward, to prevent curvature and collapse in your spine.
The pellicle mesh suspension relieves tension and supports your body while dissipating heat easily. It's used in both the seat and the back of the chair, so you don't develop any sweat spots anywhere.
It's very sturdy. The Aeron is built right here in the USA, from premium materials. It has an excellent reputation for durability and long term comfort. The armrests are padded in real leather, and the base is made from solid aluminum.
Previous buyers found it extremely durable, and we heard from more than a few reviewers who had owned their original Aerons for 15 years! That reputation for quality is backed up by a very impressive 12-year warranty from the manufacturer.
It's green. All Herman Miller products are made in a factory that uses 100% renewable energy. It's also made from mostly recycled materials, and nearly completely recyclable at the end of its life.
There are lots of options. In addition to the three different sizes, the Aeron is available in a range of colors, trim options, and weaves. You also get to pick the caster wheels to suit your flooring. There are options for hard floors, deep carpets, or commercial materials.
It's quite expensive. On the other hand, many buyers wrote in their reviews that they found the cost quite reasonable when they considered how much time they spent seated, and all the money they would have spent on back relief with other seats.
3. Herman Miller Embody
The Embody is Herman Miller's latest flagship model. It's an improvement on the older Aeron, with a completely redesigned support system and even more adjustments. We're blown away by the sophistication of this model, which was designed in collaboration with 20 different medical experts.
It actively moves with you as you shift in your seat, so you're constantly supported. Buyers say it works absolute wonders with back pain, posture, and other normal downsides of sitting all day. If you're looking for the ultimate back pain solution at any price, we don't think you can do better than the Embody.
It was designed by medical professionals as well as furniture designers. The Aeron was the pinnacle of ergonomics in the 90s, since it perfected all the "traditional" features to fit a body more precisely.
The Embody thinks a little differently about how a chair actually works, to come up with a more active product. Medically speaking, it's designed to provide active rather than passive support. That means it stimulates blood flow and constantly works to realign your spine, so you think better all day.
So, how does it actually work? It uses a spine-like suspension system to provide flexible but ergonomic support. There's a central "spine" support bar along the back of it which connects to a bunch of smaller support pieces, forming a matrix of support points.
The really innovative thing is that they actually move with you as you adjust in your seat. However much you move, your spine remains properly aligned. That's especially important if you spend lots of your day looking at a screen.
In addition to the little "vertebrae" supports providing structure, they also help distribute your weight evenly. That cuts down on pressure points, and keeps both back and leg muscles relaxed.
The Embody has all the ergonomic features we liked on the Aeron, including the waterfall seat edge, lumbar support, and adjustable seat settings. This one also has an adjustable back support, thanks to the separate spine system along the frame of the seat. It's one of the best features we've seen for addressing back pain, since it allows to adapt the seat to your individual spine.
Like the Aeron, it's almost infinitely adjustable. You can adjust both the height and depth of the seat, as well as the lumbar support. There are also adjustments for three "comfort regions", the thighs, sit bones, and thorax. Best of all, you can adjust not only the height but the width of the armrests.
It has a special fabric upholstery which mimics many aspects of skin. It's a hybrid textile between woven fabrics and mesh. We like it because it feels like smooth fabric, but breathes easily like mesh.
It's just as sturdy as the Aeron, and it's covered by the same 12-year warranty.
It's even more expensive than the Aeron.
The Embody has adjustments and smart engineering features which make it able to fit just about anybody. However, for all its innovations, some reviewers just didn't like it. If you're someone who likes lots of cushion, you probably won't like the Embody's active suspension system.
With that said, you may want to think about whether those cushy traditional models are actually good for you. If they allow your spine to cave or compress, they may be doing more harm than good.

We've looked at three models which, for all their various innovations, are fairly traditional. They're a simple frame with a seat and a back, like you're used to in any office.
However, many people are thinking outside the box of an upright chair. There are quite a few alternative options out there now, from hammock-like hanging chairs, to basket chairs, and more. Here are a few of our favorite alternative solutions for your back pain:
Best Ball Chair
The most popular alternative model out there at the moment is the ball or balance seat. These seats use a yoga or exercise ball, just like you'd use for pilates or for balance exercises at the gym.
They're designed to keep your abs, glutes and other key core muscles engaged as you sit. This improves posture, and keeps your blood pressure up to normal pulse as you sit.
Fans of these say they make for a more active day at work, and help you think better at your desk. They're also a great way to improve core strength without leaving your chair! Since you're using your core and hips to support your spine, you're placing far less stress on those tender back muscles.
One of our favorite ball chairs on the market right now is this Safco model:
Most models use an actual exercise ball in a frame or stand. The stands are usually a bit cheaply designed, and often break. Without a frame, the ball rolls away. What to do?
This model uses actual chair legs, and a modified ball design to get the balancing part of the ball inside a traditional chair form. We think it's a great way to allow for the benefits of a ball with a few of the features that make ordinary chairs such a big part of our lives.
There are lots of features we're loving on this model: it has a fabric covering over the exercise ball, to keep static down, and make this feel a bit more like furniture rather than gym equipment.
Because the seat is narrower and higher than other ball chairs, you can wear normal clothes without sitting awkwardly or worrying about skirts. Having the ball contained like this also makes it much less vulnerable to punctures. With a 23" seat height, it fits at normal desks, and it comes with powered steel legs to help it look the part.
We think this is a great touch for any funky, modern office. The Global Educator Institute gave this a Seal of Endorsement because it's so effective in stimulating minds and keeping kids from feeling restless or sleepy. You can plan on the same benefits in your office!
Best Kneeling Chair
Kneeling chairs first emerged in the 1980s, and have had a loyal following ever since. They use forward-angle seats and a kneeling pose to help you open up your spine more than a traditional 90-degree chair.
They encourage better lumbar curvature, and more core engagement, sort of like a ball chair. While they're certainly not for everyone, especially people with bad knees, many buyers have found that these make a significant difference in their back symptoms. So, especially if you have lower back pain, you ought to give a kneeling chair a try!
This premium model uses thick memory foam cushions on the seat and the leg pads, to keep you comfortable for long hours. It's also one of the only kneeling models out there to use a swivel base, like a normal office chair.
We like it because it combines the ergonomics of a kneeling chair with the best features of an upright seat (a lot like our favorite ball chair). In fact, it even combines the kneeling posture and pads with a padded backrest, in case you need a break from kneeling. One buyer said, "No more lower back pain after sitting at a desk all day. Love it!!"
While many other kneeling chairs are made with thin wooden frames, this one uses tubular steel for better durability. It's also polished, so it doesn't look nearly as utilitarian as some other metal kneelers we've seen.
We also love the thick cushions, which are much deeper than budget or even mid-range kneeling options offer. It comes in a range of funky colors, and is more affordable than ergonomic uprights. If kneeling chairs are your style, try this!
Which is the Best Chair for Your Back Pain?
The Serta is the clear choice for people on a tighter budget. It's much, much cheaper than either of the Herman Miller models, and it has all the basic features you need to stave off back pain. However, it's not nearly as adjustable, ergonomic, or durable as the Aeron or Embody.
The Aeron is the best choice for people who want the benefit of modern ergonomics in a package that looks a bit more traditional and executive. It's slightly less expensive than the Embody, and offers much of the same adjustment features.
We especially like the different size options, which aren't available on the Embody. If you have a smaller or larger frame than the average person, you might want to look at one of the Aeron sizes.
The Embody is our recommendation for people who want the absolute best solution for back pain, aches, and any other postural problems you may have experienced with lesser chairs. It has the ultimate in adjustability, and smarter ergonomics than even the Aeron.
It's pretty much guaranteed to improve your posture, and previous buyers said they could feel a definite improvement in their spinal health and back symptoms even standing up!
However, it does look very modern, so it may not fit into every workplace. It's also very expensive, so it may be cost-prohibitive for some buyers.
How to Shop for the Best Computer Chair for Back Pain
Think about your body:
A lot of back issues are the result of a poorly fitted chair. You want to make sure that your seat is the right fit for your specific body.
If you're taller than average, make sure you have a high-backed chair that can adequately support your head and neck. Likewise, you'll want one that adjusts to a greater height, so that your legs aren't sloping down towards your back.
You should ideally sit with the front edge of your seat slightly lower than the back. That keeps your pelvis tilted forward, which is super important for proper posture and spinal alignment.
If you're on the shorter end of the spectrum, you'll want to think about the opposite. Look for chairs that have lower backs, so a high headrest doesn't angle your head down, and other features and adjustments to suit your smaller frame.
You'll also want to think about what specific aspects of a chair make your back most comfortable. Do you prefer lots of cushion? Do you prefer chairs with a strong ergonomic core? Do you like your core to be engaged, or relaxed as you sit?
Do you use your chair in concert with additional cushions or equipment? Do you sit back from your desk, or roll your legs under your keyboard? Answering all these questions up front will help you narrow down your options.
Look for both cushioning and support:
Whether you like lots of cushioning or lots of support features, make sure you're not excluding either aspect in your new chair. Even the most ergonomic chair will start to get achy after a while if there's no cushion.
Plus, lack of cushion can lead to circulation issues, sleepy limbs, and pinched nerves. Conversely, excess cushion can allow your spine to sink into the chair, which is very bad for posture, and can lead to back issues.
Think about your specific symptoms:
Depending on your where and how your back hurts, you'll want to look for different comfort features in your new chair. If you're having lower back issues, for instances, chances are you're getting either too much or too little lumbar support.
If your spine is starting to curve backwards or collapse into the chair, you need more lumbar support. If you feel like your spine is being pushed out, you probably have too strong of a lumbar support.
For upper back and shoulder pain, make sure you have a high-back chair which provides plenty of pillowing. You'll also want to make sure you have enough room at the top of the chair to sit naturally, so you're not scrunching your shoulders forward.
Rather than focusing just on your symptoms, make sure you consider the root of the problem. For instance, a lot of upper back and shoulder pain can come from poor neck support.
Likewise, lower and mid-back pain can be caused by poor hip and pelvis alignment. Make sure you're addressing these causes, rather than just the pain itself.
Be sure to ask your doctor or physical therapist about your specific needs, so you can make sure that your new chair will alleviate, not aggravate, your symptoms.
Consider your budget:
Office chairs can cost anywhere from $50 to $1,500+. We recommend spending at least $100 minimum, if you've got back pain issues. Under $100, you're looking mainly at barebones, utilitarian chairs with poor ergonomics and very thin cushioning.
The more you spend on your new chair, the more you can expect in terms of both ergonomics and padding. More expensive models have been designed better, and have more ergonomic features like lumbar support, waterfall edges, and neck rests.
They also have thicker cushioning, and padding which is made from more durable materials. Cheaper chairs have polyester stuffing, which can pack down fairly quickly. That really reduces the comfort factor over the course of a year, especially if you work from your desk all day, all week.
Lack of cushioning can be rough on your hips and pelvis, which in turn causes back pain. Higher end chairs use foam padding, mesh supports, or other more sophisticated membrane systems.
These materials last longer, and help relieve tension better than fiber stuffing.
Top-shelf models have sophisticated support systems which adapt to your specific body. Some of these options have adjustable lumbar support, back support features, and different comfort settings to choose from.
They'll also offer much greater room for adjustments to help you fit the chair more precisely. In terms of back pain, that means an ergonomic design that can address your specific symptoms, as opposed to simply offering support for the average person.
When you consider how much you're willing to spend on your new seat, make sure you think about a few key factors. Consider how much time you spend in your chair every day. Then, start thinking of your budget in terms of how much your chair costs you each week, over the course of its lifetime. Think about the severity of your back symptoms, as well as the amount you spend on therapy or medical treatments.
While we're all looking for a deal, we encourage buyers with back pain to think about making a larger investment in a better chair.
If you spend 40 hours a week in your chair, you should probably consider buying a premium ergonomic chair. These models make a big difference in your health, and are guaranteed to last for upwards of 10 years.
You'll also want to consider the money you could save on medical bills or physical therapy.
On the other hand, if you only sit in a chair occasionally throughout the workday, you may be able to spend a bit less on your new seat. Just make sure you're spending enough to cover all the important bases. You want all-over cushioning, as well as key ergonomic features like lumbar support.
If you're strapped for cash and can't afford a premium ergonomic chair, try supplementing a less expensive chair with additional cushions. Shaped memory foam and gel pads are available very cheaply, and they can add custom support where you need it most.

Morgan Hill, CA
Happy 2013 to everyone!
Our 2012 was filled with a few events..
Retirement and going full-time!
Who knows what places we'll see in 2013..
Yesterday we did 'what was deemed necessary' in the
workamping experience.
I got a call on the walkie-talkie that my assistance was
needed in the clubhouse.
The resort is having a New Year's Eve party tonight,
and I helped with setting up the great room..
The girls had made these slip covers
to go over the folding chairs to make
them a bit fancier.
My job was to get them pinned on,
and the bows pinned on the back.
We aren't going to the party,
as they are charging $65 each,
and we thought that was a bit steep.
George and I are staying in, having our own munchies,
and if we stay up long enough, some sparkling wine :-)
I took a few pictures around the resort while I was driving the cart..
Today we did some grocery shopping.
It was also time to upgrade our phones.
We both have androids,
George a Droid X2, and I had an HTC Incredible 2.
We both upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S III
We spent most of the afternoon getting them set up the way we like,
and learning new features to the phone.
Tomorrow we are going down to Prunedale,
to spend the day with my parents...
I will be rescuing my Mom from day long football games :-)

1st Edition
Visual Culture in the Northern British Archipelago Imagining Islands
This edited collection, including contributors from the disciplines of art history, film studies, cultural geography and cultural anthropology, explores ways in which islands in the north of England and Scotland have provided space for a variety of visual-cultural practices and forms of creative expression which have informed our understanding of the world. Simultaneously, the chapters reflect upon the importance of these islands as a space in which, and with which, to contemplate the pressures and the possibilities within contemporary society. This book makes a timely and original contribution to the developing field of island studies, and will be of interest to scholars studying issues of place, community and the peripheries.

After the War
3D Knockout
Macross (マクロス, Makurosu) (English /məˈkrɒs/) is a series of science fiction mecha anime, created by Shōji Kawamori of Studio Nue in 1982. The franchise features a fictional history of Earth/Humanity after the year 1999. It consists of four TV series, four movies, six OVAs, one light novel, and five manga series, all sponsored by Big West Advertising.
Within the series, the term Macross is used to denote the main capital ship. This theme began in the original Macross, the SDF-1 Macross.
Overtechnology refers to the scientific advances discovered in an alien starship (Alien Star Ship - One later renamed Super Dimension Fortress - One Macross) that crashed on South Ataria island. Humans were able to reverse engineer the technology to create the mecha (variable fighters and destroids), faster-than-light space fold drive for starships and other advanced technologies that the series features. The first TV series with edited content and a revised script was released as the first part of Robotech in the U.S.
In ancient Roman religion, the Manes /ˈmeɪniːz/ or Di Manes are chthonic deities sometimes thought to represent souls of deceased loved ones. They were associated with the Lares, Lemures, Genii, and Di Penates as deities (di) that pertained to domestic, local, and personal cult. They belonged broadly to the category of di inferi, "those who dwell below," the undifferentiated collective of divine dead. The Manes were honored during the Parentalia and Feralia in February.
The theologian St. Augustine, writing about the subject a few centuries after most of the Latin pagan references to such spirits, differentiated Manes from other types of Roman spirits:
Apuleius "says, indeed, that the souls of men are demons, and that men become Lares if they are good, Lemures or Larvae if they are bad, and Manes if it is uncertain whether they deserve well or ill... He also states that the blessed are called in Greek εὐδαίμονες [eudaimones], because they are good souls, that is to say, good demons, confirming his opinion that the souls of men are demons."
Latin spells of antiquity were often addressed to the Manes.
Mirai may refer to:
Miraí, municipality in Minas Gerais, BrazilMirai (given name), Japanese given nameMirai (software), 3D creation and editing suiteJDS Mirai, fictional guided missile destroyer of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense ForceRV Mirai, Japanese oceanographic research vesselToyota Mirai, hydrogen fuel cell vehicle"Mirai" (song), 2013 song by Kylee"Mirai e...", 1998 song by HimekaHatsune Miku and Future Stars: Project Mirai, 2012 rhythm game

Zaid Sherwani's (defeated candidate) lukewarm speech was being held at the post of Vice President. In his speech, he was telling himself innocence by mentioning the riot and controversy that happened with the doctors of JN Medical College. Meanwhile, a ruckus started in the back of the students audience gallery. Even before people understand something, they got clashed between two factions. Chairs started moving on each other. The situation of rumors and panic emerged in Pandal.
Angry Vice Chancellor Prof. Tariq Mansoor left the stage and moved back to the green room behind. A young man was injured due to the chair.He was sent to J.N Medical College for treatment. Some senior students and members of the proctorial team sitting in the pandals started intervening.
Sonaveer Singh, the defeated candidate was summoned as vice-president when the atmosphere was peaceful. Once they started speaking, a ruckus started again. Stopping Sonveer's speech, the student union's newly elected president Salman Imtiaz and student leader Alauddin reached the mic, and appealed to students to maintain peace.
Speaker Salman Imtiaz explained to the students that some people want to disturb the program. Action must be taken against them. Trying to defame the Union. Those who have tried to interrupt the program will see them later.
After the atmosphere was restored in Pandal Sonveer Singh and then Yasin Ghazi was invited for the speech. Yasin Ghazi says that until the Vice Chancellor does not come, the students will not be addressed. After that the Vice Chancellor was called on the stage. Seeing the look of the installation ceremony it became clear that the time to come is not easy for the union.
All the defeated student leaders were united looking against the newly elected office-bearers and cabinet members of the union. It was also a matter of fact that the student leaders, protesting against the newly elected union, accused former MLA Haji Zamirullah, for casting President Salman Imtiaz to contest elections and made it clear that if the President invited someone in the campus then he would not tolerate.
However, later, President Salman Imtiaz gave a reprieve to the opposition student leaders. Showing photos of Alauddin on mobile, he said that these people welcome Haji zamirullah and ask for money. I'll open all poles later. He dismissed the allegations made by anti-student leaders in the end.

After speeches by defeating chair persons, the winning chair persons were called to address the gathering.
(1) Secretary Huzaifa Aamir: Said that those who used to be grateful to the British now question over our patriotism and faithfulness towards country. Trying to erase us by changing the names of the cities . He appealed to the students to write on social media who gave the country Taj Mahal and Qutub Minar.He attacked govt ,whether the place from where you deliver speech belongs to your fore fathers.
Ask the Muslims, who understand the two-city urban areas, from where they work, did he bring his father-in-law? In 1857 we had exhibited corpses and asked us today what we gave to country. Aamir said that for the last 70 years, there are two parties in the country.
A Hard Hindu and the Second Soft Hindus. One attacks from front, second attacks from rear. Uses religion to hide its shortcomings.
During his address, Huzaifa Amir strongly attacked the Vice-Chancellor sitting on the platform. On the charge of moving back and forth against the district administration, the V C became angry and in the middle, struck Amir and said that you are lying.
Aamir also attacked the Vice-Chancellor on the grounds of land, appointment, enrollment and nomination etc. His hard speech was unbearable to university management, they took it bad.
(2)Vice President Hamza Sufiyan: said that efforts are being made to eradicate the names of Muslim cities. In such a situation, the war is raging. He said that he is not against any Hindi or Sanskrit. But if Urdu will not be talk in AMU, then what will be the point in B H U? The former Vice Chancellor wrote the sign boards of the campus in Hindi.
Such mistakes should be corrected. If there is no justice with the Urdu in AMU, then where will it be? He said that the falling Waqar of AMU should be saved and it should be brought to power. Whoever tries to overturn A M U's brothers, I will be tough against them. It is noteworthy that the anti-student leaders had alleged that they used stringent words with Vice President Hamza Sufiyan along with the students sitting on the Baba-e-Syed.
(3)Mohammad Salman Imtiaz, President: Said that we are Indian Muslims. Nobody has the right to question our patriotism. We will not even give proof to anyone. We showed our intention only at the time of partition.
Salman Imtiaz said that he would create a legal network. For this, law experts , like Ram jethmalani, M Katju and Faizan Mustafa assured their help. They have started the conversation. Together with them we will fight for the right. They will create a media network like Oxford, so that the matter of Union and AMU can be made globally. During his address, he raised problems related to AMU students and gave assurances to resolve it.
He also took strong exception to the anti-student leaders and said that he has a childhood relationship with son of Haji Zamirullah Khan. The union has not started working yet and people are accusing them of selling. The roots of the lobbying are thrown out, they are not being tolerated. My wife is questioned that I have contested for her appointment in the university.
For this, experts from law like Ram jethmalani, M Katju and Faizan Mustafa will get help. They have started the conversation. Together with them we will fight for the right. They will create a media network like Oxford, so that the matter of Union and AMU can be made globally. During his address, he raised problems related to AMU students and gave assurances to resolve it.
The accusers do brokerage and sell Shervani. Everyone knows who has cut off on Union Hall. He said that the people of the bargain will sherwani take off and returning to the union's work and returning the voice. Will open all the gates from tomorrow many doctors of J N Medical College practice private practice. Will not spare them.
Here,the Installation ceremony of AMU Students Union 2018 ended.Vice Chancellor Prof Tariq Mansoor announced that the classes of University and Schools will remain suspended on November 13' 2018. The ceremony ended with University Tarana and National Anthem.
Dr Shariq Aqil asked the newly formed cabinet "first to go to AMU'S grand Masjid for two rekat namaz-e shukrana and offer fateha to Sir Syed Ahmad Khan",the founder of AMU. Aligarh.
Here I am sharing a post published in Hindi Daily News Paper Amar Ujala ,in which Sri Sonveer Singh,the defeated Vice Presidential candidate.He has raised question over "Secularism in AMU Aligarh".
Here I am ending this blog: "Installation Ceremony of AMU Students Union 2018: In Lense Of Engr Maqbool Akram".

Normally I'd be all, an onion dip? Meh? I mean I like onions and all but there are so many ooooohy-and-goooey dips that I would think would be better.
Boy was I wrong.A friend of mine made this at my house when she was visiting over the summer and I've become so obsessed with it, I've made it like 5 times since.
It's so simple and it's so not anything you would think would be stop-the-show-goodbut I'm telling you guys, people LICK the bowl clean when I bring this to parties. Oh and pair it with Fritos. You can pair it with anything, of course (baguette slices would be delish) but my friend first intro'd it to me with Fritos scoops and GOOD GOD. Just trust me and try it.
Recipe: Baked Sweet Onion Dip
1 cup of mayo
1 8 oz pkg of shredded Swiss cheese
1 medium sized Vidalia Onion or Sweet Onion cubed up (about a cup)
Mix the 3 ingredients. Bake at 375 for about 30-45 minutes or until it starts to bubble and brown. Serve.
You can make this ahead of time too. I sometimes make it in the morning when I know I'm going to be in a rush to get somewhere.

Hi Dw.
I am developing a client server multi-thread application. This application uses signals(certain messages as signals), in order to perform a task for a client. For instance if a client wants to login, the client send a message as:
Login:<username>:<password> and on a server I first check if the message contains
: and if it does then I split the message using
: as a split.
I am using the client server code from http://www.vb.net-informations.com/communications/vb.net_multithreaded_server_socket_programming.htm
But I didn't use it as Console its both WinForms. I'm facing avery hug problem here. All of my activity codes are under the
handleClient class inside the
doChat but I've changed that to
My biggest problem comes when I run more then 1 client instances and when they all send a signal to retrieve data base on each client filter settings.
The Filter is just a string word which will tell the server for this client open database and retrieve all records let's say my filter was USA, then the server will retrieve all the records containing USA under the Country field. But first I first check if that record is available.
I have 2 tables on one database.
The first table is for transactions, then the second table is for registration.
The transaction table is where the transactions take place and its where most of the data sent to client(s) comes from, so this is a very busy table. It has 9 columns as follows.
1) username -> this is the username for the registered user, this also helps when we need to locate the user under the registration table.
2) bookedUser -> this is 0 at first then if this user is open for bookings then once a another user books this user I put that user here, but I changed that when I added the Remainder, and the pp columns. So if let's say this user wants to be booked for 2500, if the other user offering to book this user says s/he will pay 2500 then that username is entered here. But if the amount is less then 2500 then I first check if the pp is open, if this is close then that means there can be no more bookings, else if this is open I then check if the field Remaining is greater then 0, if this is true then I check if the amount offered equal the remainder and do proper update. I will post a code for this bellow.
I have this under the doData() on the server side. Will only write what I saw giving me a problem.
Dim ClieUsername As String
Dim requestCount As Integer
Dim bytesFrom(10024) As Byte
Dim dataFromClient As String
Dim sendBytes As [Byte]()
Dim serverResponse As String
Dim rCount As String
requestCount = 0
While (True)
requestCount = requestCount + 1
Dim networkStream As NetworkStream = client.GetStream
dataFromClient = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytesFrom)
dataFromClient = dataFromClient.Substring(0, dataFromClient.IndexOf("$"))
If dataFromClient.Contains(":") Then
Dim list() As String
list = dataFromClient.Split(":")
'Now I check which signal was sent.
If list(0).Contains("Login") Then
'Do login here.
If list(0).Contains("bringlist") Then
' Checking to see if a user has specified a country.
If list(1).Trim("<",">") = Nothing Then
' The user has not specified a filter so just bring everything available.
Dim Country As String
' Open a database connection.
sql = "select * from transactions;"
cmd = New OleDbCommand(sql, conn)
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
Do While dr.Read = True
'Status variable is declared às global variable.
status = dr(4)
Dim qqrefnumber As String
If status = "Open" Then
Dim dDate As String
dDate = dr(3)
If dDate >= DateTime.Today Then
Dim xusername As String
xusername = dr(0)
price = dr(2) 'Amount
Dim Calcu As Double
qqrefnumber = dr(5)
Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter(("select * from register where username ='" & xusername & "'"),conn)
Dim dt As New DataTable
If dt.Rows.Count > 0 Then
Country = dt.Rows(0).Item("Country") & ""
End If
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
' Sending data to the client.
response = "List:<" & xusername & ">:<" & price & ">:<" & Country & ">:<" & dDate & ">:<" & "Open>:<" & qqrefnumber
serverResponse = response
sendBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(serverResponse)
'Because there is no data meet this date
'Send a notification so that a client won't
'Freeze waiting for the response.
response = "nodata:<>"
serverResponse = response
sendBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(serverResponse)
End If
End If
Catch ex As Exception
'The error that is most generated here use to say
'Unspecified error message so just take it
'As if it didn't get any data so that the client won't freeze.
response ="nodata:<>"
serverResponse = response
sendBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(serverResponse)
End Try
' The user did specify the filter(country).
Dim myFilter As String = list(1).Trim("<",">")
Dim country As String
sql = "select * from transactions;"
cmd = New OleDbCommand(sql,conn)
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection)
Do While (True)
status = dr(4)
Dim qqrefnumber As String
If status = "Open" Then
Dim dDate As String
If dDate >= DateTime.Today Then
Dim xusername As String
xusername = dr(0)
price = dr(2)
qqrefnumber = dr(5)
Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter(("select * from register where username ='" & xusername & "'"),conn)
Dim dt As New DataTable
If dt.Rows.Count > 0 Then
Country = dt.Rows(0).Item("Country") & ""
'Check to see if the Country match the filter.
If Country = myFilter Then
'Its does match so send it.
response = "List:<" & xusername & ">:<" & price & ">:<" & Country & ">:<" & dDate & ">:<" & "Open>:<" & qqrefnumber
serverResponse = response
sendBytes = Enconding.ASCII.GetBytes(serverResponse)
End If
End If
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
response = "nodata:<>"
serverResponse = response
sendBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(serverResponse)
End If
End If
Catch ex As Exception
'Send the response with nodata signal
End Try
End If
End If
The problem is that if I run one client everything is fine, but if I run more then one at the same time they all freezes but the server is not freezing. Bellow is the relevant client signaling code relevant to the above server code.
Own about that ConnDB you keep seeing here is the module.
Import System.Data.OleDb
Module ModConnection
Public cur As Form
Public dt As DataTable
Public conn As OleDbConnection
Public cmd As OleDbCommand
Public dr As OleDbDataReader
Public da As OleDbDataAdapter
Public ds As DataSet
Public sql As String
Public Sub ConnDB()
conn = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="mydatabasefullPath;Jet OLEDB:Database Password = "myPassword")
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Sub
Public Function getDataTable(ByVal SQL As String) As DataTable
Dim cmd As New OleDBCommand(SQL, conn)
Dim dt As New DataTable
Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter(cmd)
Return dt
End Function
End Module
Now the client side code relevant to the above first code potion.
Basically what it does is that after certain time its send a signal message to the server to retrieve the list and the list can be retrieved based on the users filter or the list can be retrieved without being filtered.
I have 2 forms for this form4 is the form that is displayed to the user and the Feeder form is a form that is hidden, its keep sending the signal to the server and if the server send list it then add the data to form4's ListView.
On Feeder I have this.
1 BackgroundWorker
1 Timer.
The BackgroundWorker tries to establish a connection with server, and if the connection is established then its call/start timer1 which is what sends the signal to the server and receive the response and based on the response its perform the appropriate action.
The timer interval is 600.
Here is the code to send the signal and receive the response.
'First check if the user has filtered or not.
If Form1.lblFilter.Text = Nothing Then
'The user didn't filter.
Dim serverStream As NetworkStream = clientSocket.GetStream
Dim bufferSize As Integer
Dim outStream As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("bringlist:<>" + "$")
Dim inStream(10024) As Byte
bufferSize = clientSocket.ReceiveBufferSize
Dim returndata As String = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(inStream)
Dim xlist() As String
If returndata.Contains("List") Then
xlist = returndata.Split(":")
'I check if the listView is empty or not
'Then if not I then loop through each item
'To see if the new item hasn't been already added
'This is to prevent having a long list
'Of one thing.
' This is how I add data to listview on form4
Dim data_Array(5) As String
Dim itmData As ListViewItem
data_Array(0) = xlist(1).Trim("<",">")
data_Array(1) = xlist(2).Trim("<",">")
data_Array(2) = xlist(3).Trim("<",">")
data_Array(3) = xlist(4).Trim("<",">")
data_Array(4) = xlist(5).Trim("<",">")
itmData = New ListViewItem(data_Array)
So that's how I go about this but the client freezes the first two sometimes do receive one record each and then freezes.
What am I missing/doing wrong here.
Sorry I know this post is too long now so will just stop there.

Analysis / Bias
In review, True Viral News publishes news stories from other sources, often without sourcing and directly plagiarizing stories. For example, this story, Survey finds fecal matter on every McDonald's touchscreen it tested is literally copied and pasted from this article by a Roanoke, Virginia TV News website. In another story, Ohio pastor encouraged other ministers to have sex with teen who was 'groomed,' prosecutors say is plagiarized verbatim from NBC News, without giving credit. This pattern of blatant plagiarism is the norm throughout the website.
Under their science tag, they plagiarize pseudoscience and conspiracy articles from questionable sources such as WND: The legendary Chuck Norris pens article urging Americans to wake up on the 'covert chemtrailing' taking place in this country. They also list the conspiracy website Prison Planet as a source for a story regarding chemtrails. Further, they promote anti-Vaccine propaganda from the discredited conspiracy website Natural News.

1. Figure out a budget
You will need to work out how much you can afford to pay in rent each week. You will also need to also consider other bills like electricity, internet and phone bills (etc) that you will also have to pay each month. If you need help with preparing a budget, go to www.sorted.org.nz where they have a great money planner to help sort your finances out.
2. Decide where to live
To find out more about rental prices in different suburbs, have a look at our suburb resources where you can find out median rent prices, and information about each suburb. You might want to think about how close you want to be to work, uni, transport etc.
3. Finding a property.
Finding a property is simple. Using the "Rental Search" box on the left-hand side of this page, select the criteria which is relevant to you:
- Tick which suburb/s you would like to live in (if you don't have a preference leave it blank)
- Select what property type you would like (eg. House, apartment, townhouse etc)
- Select the price range that you want to pay per week
- Choose the number of bedrooms you need
- If needed, you can also choose how many bathrooms you require
- Press 'Search'
- (You can save this search and also have emailed to you any new properties as they become available, by clicking on 'Save this Search' at the top of the page)
A list of properties with your requirements will now appear. Simply click on a property that interests you to find out more information about it. You can also print out a flyer of the property by clicking on 'Print'
Feel free to drive by any properties you printed. If you still like it from the road, call the letting agent on the page to organise to see through.
4. Important questions to ask
When you are having a walk through a property, make sure you check about important factors that may effect you:
- When can I move into the property?
- Does the property come furnished and what chattels are included?
- How much is the bond?
- How many people are allowed to live there?
- Who is responsible for looking after the gardens and lawns?
- Are pets allowed?
- Is it a fixed term tenancy or a periodic tenancy?
5. Applying to rent your new home.
Once you have seen through the property and decided this is the new home for you, you will need to complete a tenancy application form.
A tenancy application form can be completed online by clicking here or by visiting our branches at either 433 Grey St (Hamilton East) or 931 Victoria St (City).
We will undertake various checks on you and providing all is in order we will prepare a tenancy agreement for you to sign. We will discuss details of bonds, keys, rules and property conditions with you prior to having you sign the agreement.
6. Move in
Once all documents are completed and all money has been paid, you can move into your new home! Make sure that you remember to sort out your contents insurance and who will be helping you move!
7. Property inspection
An inspection of the property and inventory of what chattels there are (eg. dishwasher etc) will be done by your landlord or property management company before you move in. After moving into the property, you are legally obliged to report any repairs or maintenance to the landlord asap to prevent further damage happening. Your property will be inspected on a regular basis.
8. Sign the tenancy agreement
This outlines the terms and conditions agreed by both the tenant and the landlord and is recommended that both you and the landlord (or property manager) sign the agreement before you move in to avoid any possible misunderstandings in the future. You will both receive a copy of the agreement. Along with contact information, it will include the weekly rent amount, frequency and account details for payment, how much the bond is, a list of what chattels are included in the house, what date the tenancy ends (if it's a fixed term) and the type of tenancy. If there are any particular conditions these will also be listed.
9. Bond payment
A bond is money that you pay as security in case of damage to the rental property, or unpaid rents. Bond is equal to 4 week's rent. All bond money is lodged and held in trust at the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) Bond Centre in Wellington. You will receive a receipt from the property management company for your bond, acknowledging your payment.
When you move out of the property at the end of your tenancy, the property management company will be either refund your bond in full or in part after excluding any claims there may be for damage, outstanding bills, cleaning, or rent arrears etc.

MemBrain is a powerful graphical neural network editor and simulator for Microsoft Windows,
supporting artificial neural networks of arbitrary size and architecture.
Some core features of MemBrain are:
MemBrain originally had been developed to provide maximum flexibility for
development and study of artificial neural networks combined with an intuitive
graphical user interface. It is currently used by many universities for research
and teachings, however, during the last years its use in industrial
manufacturing and technical control applications has stepped up continuously.
The majority of applications hereby is considered with the challenge to map
correlations between inputs and outputs of unknown or not sufficiently known
systems into artificial neural networks.
The goal of this is to be able to predict the outputs of the system under
test on basis of its inputs without having to know the corresponding
transfer functions. Knowledge of these functions is often not possible at all or
at least not accessible with justifiable efforts.
Solely required to achieve this goal is a sufficient amount of real world input
and output data pairs which might be captured from the real system or might
already be available from historic records. These data can be imported into
MemBrain and be used to train the corresponding artificial neural
Once the neural net has been designed and trained successfully it can be used
to approximate the real system for the use in forecasts or other calculations:
New values are applied to the inputs of the net - the target output values
calculated by the net and accessible through its output ports.
Using MemBrain, such a net can be easily transferred into production
systems, no matter if these are PC based or embedded systems. PC based systems
can use the dll version of MemBrain to load the trained nets from files and make
use of them in an efficient way. The dll also allows to continue the training of
the nets within the user's application.
For embedded systems MemBrain brings an integrated C source code generator that allows to generate code that is aligned with the typical requirements of
embedded systems: Small memory footprint and avoidance of dynamic memory
MemBrain is free for private and for non-commercial use (e.g. for educational
use in universities) without any restrictions in functionality.
Commercial use is possible after purchase of a corresponding commercial license.
You can download the full version of MemBrain in the download section and
install it right away. With this standard installation MemBrain may only be used
in a non-commercial way. At every start of the software a corresponding dialog
is presented to the user.
For commercial use of MemBrain a commercial license has to be purchased which
will then also suppress the startup dialog. For non-commercial purpose there are
cheap licenses available that also suppress the startup dialog.
For more information on MemBrain's license model and for purchasing
licenses please refer to the 'Licensing' section of this homepage.
