The iPhone 6 was revealed by the Cupertino-based giant in September 2014 and was released on the market later the same month. It's the company's first smartphone to arrive with a 4+ inch screen. Synchronized with the iPhone 6 announcement, Apple also debuted the iPhone 6 Plus which sports a 5.5-inch display.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is the first smartphone in the world to arrive with a screen bent over both edges of phone. It's also the first flagship smartphone of the South Korean company to ditch the plastic back over a glass panel.
As I was mentioning above, the iPhone 6 is the first Apple smartphone to sport a screen larger than 4 inches, therefore, it's no longer as compact as its predecessors. On the other hand, the Galaxy S6 Edge has the same screen size as its predecessor.
iPhone 6 measures 138.1 x 67 x 6.9 mm and has a weight of 129 grams. The Galaxy S6 Edge is 142.1 mm tall, 70.1 mm wide, and only 7 mm thin, while weighing in at 132 grams.
As you can see, the iPhone 6 is both lighter and more compact than its rival. The Dimensions round goes to the iOS-powered smartphone.

As you can see, the iPhone 6 is both lighter and more compact than its rival. The Dimensions round goes to the iOS-powered smartphone.
Because I take a lot of photos with my phone, I've always appreciated a good primary camera. Let's see how the cameras of the two devices perform.
The iPhone 6 features an 8 MP rear-facing shooter with dual-LED, F2.2 aperture, 1/3″ sensor size, back-illuminated sensor (BSI), Autofocus, Phase detection autofocus, Touch to focus, Digital image stabilization, Face detection, Exposure compensation, Burst mode, Digital zoom, Geo tagging, High Dynamic Range mode (HDR), Panorama, Self-timer, and Full HD video recording support. It also arrives with a 1.2 MP secondary camera.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is equipped with a 16 MP primary cam with LED flash, optical image stabilization, F.19 aperture, 1/2.6″ sensor size, back-illuminated sensor (BSI), Autofocus, AF Assist Beam, Touch to focus, Optical image stabilization, Face detection, Smile detection, Exposure compensation, ISO control, White balance presets, Burst mode, Digital zoom, Geo tagging, High Dynamic Range mode (HDR), Panorama, Scenes, Effects, Self-timer, Voice activation, and 4K video recording support. For your selfie needs, Samsung has fitted a 5 MP camera on the front panel of the S6 Edge.
Early tests have shown that the main camera of the S6 Edge is superior when compared to iPhone 6's. Therefore the Camera round goes to the Galaxy S6 Edge.
The modern are quite similar when it comes to connectivity options. Anyway, let's take a look at what's inside the iPhone 6 and Galaxy S6 Edge.
The iPhone 6 arrives with LTE, HSPA+, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band, hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy, NFC (only works with Apple Pay), and a USB 2.0 lightning port. On the other hand, Galaxy S6 Edge is equipped with LTE, HSPA+, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band, Wi-Fi Direct, hotspot, Bluetooth 4.1 Low Energy, NFC, infrared blaster, and microUSB 2.0.
As you can see, the main differences between S6 Edge and iPhone 6 are the NFC port (works with other devices on the Galaxy S6 Edge) and the infrared port (you can use the S6 Edge as remote control). The Connectivity round is won by the Samsung flagship.
While the iPhone 6 is powered by Apple's custom-made A8 processor, the Galaxy S6 Edge is underpinned by Samsung's proprietary Exynos 7420 chip. Let's take a deeper look at the two processing units.
The Apple A8 SoC is 64-bit-enabled and it's based on a dual-core 1.4 GHZ Cyclone CPU and a PowerVR GX6450 GPU. The 64-bit octa-core Exynos 7420 chipset has four Cortex A53 cores clocked at 1.5 GHz, four Cortex A7 cores clocked at 2.1 GHz, and a Mali T760 GPU.
The benchmarks have revealed that the Exynos 7420 unit is the most powerful mobile chip currently on the market. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge snatches another point.
The design is the first thing you'll notice about a smartphone. While Apple is known for creating really beautiful phones, in the past, Samsung has been bashed for the design of their flagships.
The iPhone 6 departs from the design philosophy Apple has used for their previous phones. It now has rounder corners and, because it has to accommodate a significantly larger display, it's less compact than previous iPhones. Of course, the premium materials are still there. We are dealing with a metallic frame and an aluminum back. It's available in three body colors: Space Gray, Silver, and Gold.
Samsung's flagship were never "premium" enough, so their design wasn't appreciated. Now, the designers of the South Korean company are showing as that they can too create premium phones. The Samsung Galaxy S6 edge boasts about a metallic frame that goes around the edges of the phone and Gorilla Glass 4 on both the front and back panels. Anyway, the unique element of the S6 Edge's design is the screen which bends and wraps around both edges of the phone. Edge can be purchased in four body colors: White Pearl, Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum, and Green Emerald.
For the first time I can say that a Galaxy phone looks better than an iPhone. The Design round goes to the Galaxy S6 Edge.
Battery Life
Let's face it! With a couple of exceptions, the modern smartphones are still facing battery life issues. I mean, you can barely find a high-end phone capable of providing two days of autonomy.
The iPhone 6 arrives with a non-removable Li-Po 1,810 mAh battery. In our tests, the iPhone 6 was capable of staying awake for around a day on a single charge.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is powered by a non-removable 2,600 mAh Li-Ion battery, a cell which, in our tests, was capable of getting the phone through about a day of normal usage. It's also worth mentioning that the S6 Edge has quick charge support. According to Samsung, 10 minutes of battery charging are enough for 4 hours of usage.
The iPhone 6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge are similar in terms of battery life. The Battery Life round ends as tie.
Operating System
While the Galaxy S6 Edge is powered by Google's Android OS, the iPhone 6 runs Apple's proprietary iOS. These are the most popular mobile platforms of the moment, but let's see what each has to offer.
The iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus were the first phones to come pre-loaded with iOS 8. iOS 8 resemblances iOS 7 in terms of design philosophy, but, of course, there are some updates for several design elements. iOS 8 also arrives with updated native apps and introduces a handful of new features. The Gallery app promises to keep your photos and videos organized, iMessage has received support for location sharing, voice recordings, and sending videos, the iOS keyboard got smarter (iOS 8 also introduced support for third-party keyboards). The new iOS update also debuted Family Sharing, a new Health app, Spotlight, and more.
Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is running Android 5.0.2 Lollipop out of the box. Of course, the interface was customized with Samsung's proprietary TouchWiz UI which has been updated to match the Material Design guidelines. While all the Lollipop-specific features such as multi-user support for phones, lock screen notifications, ART, better battery statistics, Smart Lock, screen pinning, or Priority mode are there, the S6 Edge also comes with TouchWiz-specific features. Just to name a few: Ultra Power Saving Mode, Download Booster, S Health 4.0, Samsung Pay, Smart Manager, Themes, and Quick Connect.
Without a doubt, Lollipop is the better operating system, bringing more functionality, with TouchWiz adds some useful features. The point allocated for the Operating System round goes to the Galaxy S6 Edge.

Phase-hologram patterns that can shape the intensity distribution of a light beam in several planes simultaneously can be calculated with an iterative Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm [T. Haist et al., Opt. Commun. 140, 299 (1997)]. We apply this algorithm in holographic optical tweezers. This allows us to simultaneously trap several objects in individually controllable arbitrary 3-dimensional positions. We demonstrate the interactive use of our approach by trapping microscopic spheres and moving them into an arbitrary 3-dimensional configuration.

This Country Life
And to the life of living in a country village in the south west of England. Arriving in the valley is something like stepping into a time warp. All of a sudden I am back in the land of agriculture and farming and meeting up with gristled old farmers serving you apple cider out of giant oak barrels and shouting at you in what almost seems like an Irish accent "ai, go on, 'tis only apple juice!". I LOVE IT!
The small villages are connected by the narrowest of roads, and nature is surely the most redeeming feature of the drive between villages. Everything is close by and yet there is the amazing feeling of space amongst everything that you see! Looking over my shoulder at the setting sun as it lights up a plain with houses and farms dotted all throughout it makes me hunger for the likes of the McLaren Vale. Horses slowly trudge by and it seems the natural sound of the the area.
We arrive at the house which is an old 1860's place with 3 levels and many many rooms. I am starting to understand the English so much more now that I see where they live and how they live! There are sitting rooms and formal dining rooms, which seem not to be used very often! But it all fits rather well. Glassed in gazebos are their solutions to outdoor living, and even in summer you are glad of the cover and warmth!
The best thing about this place is the kitchen. It is a large room at the rear of the house but has HUGE windows that look out over the fields in the distance that house horses and hay and seem to just stretch beyond your sight! The centre-piece in the kitchen is an AGA! Now I am not really sure of what it is but it is a fantastic gorgeous large steel oven with a series of doors and compartments and 2 pizza sized hops that are permanently hot and ready to go. This thing doesn't turn off and is a source of warmth in the house. Each compartment is a different temperature oven, from warming right through to baking! There are 5 ovens, which are all fed by warmed oil that circulates through the structure. It is beautiful, and you can sense that this is what a kitchen should have. Particularly a farmhouse kitchen, permanently ready to strike up a feast for all that walk in the door! And like any farmhouse, you always enter through the back door! It is just the done thing.
My room is large and my view over the fields is something to relish. I wake to the sound of wrens and birds and not much else. When a car is near you actually hear it for the strange sound that it is. And you wonder what it is doing out there! The light is vast and beautiful and warms you as it spreads out across the land! It is so lovely here and I am so instantly relaxed! To have a home where people come to meet and gather for food and enjoyment and quietness is surely something I should aim for in my life!
The weekend is basically spent whiling away hours in the house with coffee, tea, food and then in the evenings, relaxing in the gazebo with dinner and wine! The musicians who have arrived eventually after a late start take to the piano and music fills the space at all times. All rather lovely! The company is grand and the house is perfect for taking in the atmosphere of relaxed conversation and contentment! Morning coffee is spent sitting looking out over the fields and greeting horses and riders as they amble past the kitchen windows waving a casual good morning! Takes a little getting used to for a London lad! (If I dare to call myself that!)
As mentioned, we make a call to a local icon, The Apple Cider man. A man of the earth character and a lively chap who has surely been in the county and served the village of CHEDDAR for many years with his local alcoholic fare! There are three giant barrels and you walk in amongst the outdated machinery and coy wooden tables, swiping a few cobwebs out of the way in the process. There is a lively banter coming from 'the lounge' which is signified by the wooden sign above the door. The space is little more than a table and chairs sitting haphazardly amongst the smoking locals who all look like they have come in from a day in the fields. Our host beams at us with a lovely generous smile and his way of saying hello is to ask "sweet dry or draught?". Obviously a refusal is not to be given to this man. Ironically the way of deciphering a blend of one of the three is a little bit of this one, some of that one and, oh why not a bit of this one to throw it all together. Swish it in the pitcher and voila, you have traditional cider of a distinctive nature that has a place in local folklore! You buy by the cask or, if you prefer, you can bring your own container. Oh and there is also the local fare as well. You can't come to Cheddar and not eat cheese! So we are given three rather large slabs of cheese, 2 cheddars and one stilton which are all very tasty and authentic. A lovely way to render an afternoon introduction to the area!
The landscape is gorgeous. A valley is protected on either side by rolling hill ranges and the green colour of the flats looks glorious in the sunshine. Little villages lay dotted along the roads to the main townships which are steeped in mediaeval history and grandeur. Each village at the moment is hosting it's own flower show, as summer invites all the gardens to look their best. And with each show there is the associated local arts and crafts fairs! Very traditional. All manner of pickles, jams and home bakes are on offer and all so very proper and English! Love it! The largest town is Bristol, home feats of engineering by a crazed man who designed some of the first iron hulled trans Atlantic cargo ships. Rather impressive bridges and old world museums dot the streets and the hubbub is quite genuine in this centre of activity on the western coast of England. A very pretty town with a noted University and patronage of local industry and wealthy landed families! Outside of Oxford and Cambridge apparently Bristol holds it's own in the educational elite of the nation! I mistake many spires and grand buildings for religious houses when they are in fact University halls and establishments. It's all very picturesque and charming.
A quick trip to Wells leaves me breathless as I see an 11th Century cathedral in all its splendour and glory with large green grounds spread before it's ornate doors and entrance. The gothic structure is as grand as those of Italian cities and the detail of the outside deserves close inspection and attention of the best part of the day. A street market is also alive with activity of local fare and farmers. All set out in the traditional town square, cobbled streets and Tudor buildings still commanding the eye. I could spend a weekend here but for today it is a quick 45 minutes. Definetly a place to return to for a more indulgent visit sometime in the future!
The weekend is inspiring and makes for rather resigned feelings of wanting to live in the country amongst nature and simplicity with quiet tones abounding. A lovely break to have had on this final weekend of relative freedom before beginning back at work. So lovely and relished for the refreshing experience it has been.

The presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD is designed to give relief to small taxpayers engaged in any business (e.g retail trading or wholesale trading or civil construction or any other business) however Income Tax Act has specified few business and profession who cannot file under this category
Businesses not covered under the presumptive taxation scheme of section 44AD :-
The scheme of section 44AD is designed to give relief to small taxpayers engaged in any business, except the following businesses
In case of a person adopting the provisions of section 44AD, income will be computed on presumptive basis, i.e. @ 8% or higher percentage of the turnover or gross receipts of the eligible business for the year
As per the provisions of this section, an eligible assessee undertaking an eligible business as referred above has an option to offer 8% of his total gross turnover of the year as net profits for the year for tax purposes. Once this option is chosen, the assess is not allowed to claim any further deductions of business expenses (actual or notional) from the arrived 8% . Tax as per applicable slab rates is then to be applied to such deemed income to arrive at the net tax payable.
If you choose to not opt for this scheme and if in actual you have made profit lesser than 8% and do not wish to opt for this scheme, you are required to get your books of accounts audited by a CA.
E.g. You are running a business of running a Beauty Parlour and have earned total fees of Rs. 10lacs during the year. Once you choose to opt for the benefits of this provision, you are only required to indicate the total turnover (10lacs in this case) and calculate 8% of it i.e 80000 as your net profit from this business and pay tax at applicable normal slab rates. However, once you have chosen this scheme, you do not have the option to claim other business expenses such as rent, utility bills ,etc.

A fabulous day of baking :: Bake With Maria…well, with Marianne!
On Saturday I spent the day baking. Taking time out to bake is something that I rarely do at the moment and I didn't realise how much I missed it until this weekend. I used to really love baking. I've baked Victoria sponges, scones, cupcakes, muffins, cookies, shortbread and loaf cakes in the past but have got out of the habit of making time to bake. I started to grow despondent following a few baking disasters with a particularly fierce oven, and always ended up making things in a rush. However attending a course this weekend changed how I want to experience baking moving forwards. The passion I have for baking was sparked again by a really fantastic class I attended. The process of combining simple ingredients to create delightful cakes on Saturday brightened up the cloudy October day, and was the turning point I needed to get inspired to pick up a whisk again.
I was very lucky to be treated to a day of baking at the Bake With Maria baking school, thanks to Mr C's sister and brother-in-law. The weekend started with an early morning train journey from Bristol to London. Armed with a latte and the November copy of Red magazine, I set off feeling really excited and ready to learn. Until recently I had never been on a sewing class, and a baking class was equally as new to me. I learnt to bake watching and learning from my very talented mum, watching Delia and Nigella on TV, and reading copious baking books and trying a few things out. Looking back at the home economics lessons I had at school I realised I was never really properly taught the basics, but this class filled the essential gaps in my knowledge. Mr C's sister, Rachael, and I met up and headed to The Baking Lab in Swiss Cottage, London for the class. We arrived at The Baking Lab and had tea and delicious biscuits to fuel the morning of baking and learning. The class we attended was the Cake Baking Masterclass led by the extremely knowledgeable and super talented pastry chef Marianne Stewart (@MarianneBakes). The course was 5.5 hours long and we baked three different cakes, firstly a Moelleux au Chocolat (Chocolate Torte), then 12 Mini Carrot Cakes with a cream cheese frosting and candied carrot strips to decorate, and finally a lemon drizzle cake.
We watched Marianne skilfully demonstrate her recipes with a full how-to demonstration per cake. We learnt about the basic techniques used within each recipe, what each stage of the baking process should look like, and general tips in relation to baking skills to use during each recipe. There were practical skills too, so how to zest lemons, tips including wrapping cling film round your mixer while making icing so you don't have a kitchen covered in white dust, and recommendations on equipment to use. After we were shown how to make the cake step by step, we then had a go ourselves following the helpful and detailed recipe handout.
Half way through we had a break for a very delicious lunch prepared by Marta, The Baking Lab Manager, and sat chatting sharing baking stories.
Our group of 8 who were taking the course were lovely and we all were quite candid about our baking disasters and level of skills! We had the opportunity to ask lots of baking questions and each were answered. We learnt things about why a cake mixture behaves the way it does, so I now understand why some cakes rise like volcanoes and why we experience problems with paper cases sticking or falling off! Both things I've experienced. I felt I learnt more in 5.5 hours of baking than in all my years of baking so far.
The day was truly fabulous and the course really surpassed expectations. What was unique was that each recipe involved different techniques, volumes and types of ingredients that were different than the 'standard' recipes. During the class we used good quality equipment, the highlight for me was having the chance to use a Kitchen Aid mixer. I was in heaven and I felt like I was on the Great British Bake Off! Unfortunately our kitchen at home wouldn't fit a Kitchen Aid mixer. Even if we had space I'd never make a decision about the colour I'd want!
At the end of the class we got to take home our creations in cake boxes that were supplied and left full of inspiration to get baking. After the class I sampled the cakes with a friend over cups of tea and we agreed they were yummy and had to hold back from scoffing the lot in one sitting!
On Bake with Maria's website the strapline is 'Bake yourself happy!'…well I certainly did on Saturday. Thank you Marianne for inspiring me to get in the kitchen and bake again, and thank you Rachael for taking me!

A thoroughly readable introduction to the nondestructive techniques used by contemporary researchers to analyze the artifacts and culture of ancient Egypt.
Full Description
The Virtual Mummy is a thoroughly readable introduction to the nondestructive techniques used by contemporary researchers to analyze the artifacts and culture of ancient Egypt. It tells the captivating story of the "virtual unwrapping" of an Egyptian mummy and the interdisciplinary project that allowed researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to investigate the person inside by way of an autopsy performed by computer. The mummy, acquired by the university's Spurlock Museum in 1989, was from the Fayum region of Egypt and is dated to about 100 a.d. Although other mummy projects have used destructive analytical techniques, the Spurlock mummy was never even unwrapped. Minute samples of loose material were taken for dating and for textile and wood analysis without affecting the integrity or display quality of the artifact. Faculty and staff members from area hospitals and University of Illinois departments including classics, anthropology, chemistry, textile sciences, and entomology were recruited by the Program on Ancient Technologies and Archaeological Materials for the project. The interdisciplinary team implemented a research plan that relied on medical imaging techniques including X rays and CT scans. They also utilized for the first time in the history of mummy research a Cray II supercomputer -- at the university's National Center for Supercomputing Applications -- to render three-dimensional images of the mummy's skull and body. Replete with illustrations, Sarah U. Wisseman's engaging chronicle of teamwork and research gives readers the chance to experience how ancient history melded with contemporary technology. The Virtual Mummy also includes a review of the development of mummification and a general history of mummy research.

It is important when buying life insurance to know what you're getting into first. You should find out the resources available to you, so you can seek the right answers for you and your future. Follow the tips in this article to give yourself a head start.
As you prepare to buy a life insurance policy, the amount of coverage is critical. Your beneficiary can pay the mortgage, loans, or college tuition with the money.
Before purchasing life insurance, be sure to shop around and compare prices. The price differences between companies can vary widely, as much as 50%. Check the coverage prices online at comparison websites as well as the insurance companies' official sites. Also, choose a policy whose price takes into account your medical history.
Your participation in high-risk hobbies or sports, such as scuba diving or skydiving, can give your provider a reason to raise your premiums. Also, some jobs, such as firefighting and coal mining, increase your risk of death, which means the insurance company will charge you more.
Pick a company that's not only large, but also reputable when you investigate underwriting companies when it comes to your policy for life insurance. A smaller policy that costs less doesn't mean anything if the company isn't there when you need them the most.
Life insurance policies are a wise investment for anyone who has dependents. If you die, a good life insurance plan will provide for your spouse and children.
Always look out for red flags when you're looking for an agent to purchase insurance from. If an agent tells you the ratings available for the company they work for are not relevant, you should file a complaint right away.
If it is possible, you should pay your insurance premiums yearly instead of monthly. When you pay the premium yearly, you can save some.
When looking at life insurance, research by yourself, but make sure to also speak with a pro. Professionals can help answer your questions and clarify your options. You may have a better idea of what coverage to purchase after talking to a professional.
Stay away from brokers who are overly pushy or arrogant about their knowledge when trying to sell you life insurance. There are many times when brokers assume that every life insurance policy is a one-size-fits-all matter.
You may exercise before going to the doctor for a life insurance medical exam. Your blood pressure may actually rise, and this can provide false readings to the doctor.
Before you undergo a physical for your new life insurance policy, you should reduce or eliminate your caffeine intake. While caffeine is legal, it can increase your heart rate and blood pressure to the point that it might reflect badly in your exam.
As you have seen in the above tips, there is a lot of knowledge you can acquire before choosing and purchasing a life insurance policy and it's this knowledge that can help you with your future. Do everything you must to find out what policy is best for your needs.

Tlie one-story building in the 400 block on East Main Street, was owned by Mrs. Hammond Alley and housed Elbert Huffman's Swap Shop, a warehouse of the Jiinmtc Edwards Furniture Store and the Farmers' Kitchen, a cafe operated by Buck Meharg. The Swap Shop and the furniture warehouse were the hardest hit by the blaze with the cafe suffering only minor flre damage. Fire Cliief Roy Head stated that iB.e fire broke out In the rear of the Swap Shop and is believed to have started in a trash pile in the rear of the building. The flames spread rapidly through the east section of the building; which houses the furniture warehouse and the Swap Shop and had made headway by the time firemen reached the scene. The building was one of Blytheville's landmarks. It has been standing for more than 35 years. Mr. Edwards said this morninR that between $4,600 and $4.800 worth of new and used furniture, none of - which was insured, was stored in his warehouse at the time of the fire and that most of it was damaged.

It affirmed a decree of the Pulaskl Chancery court In a test suit filed in the name of P. J. Pickens, Little Rock, against the governor and other state officials. McMnth formulated the bond program to obtain money to supplement rejrular revenue and federal funds to build $80,000,000 worth of roads in the state during the next four years. The suit was filed to test the validity of act No. 5 of 1949, which authorizes the state boarri of fiscal control to issue 57,000,000 of new state highway construction bonds innunlly for the next four years. The proposed bonds were approved nt a special election last Feb. 15.

The center of the fighting was directly across the Whangpoo from the heart of Shanghai. Fighting raged less than two miles away. It started about 10 a.m. and was roaring on Into the night. Thousands watched the battle from high buildings and the streets. Shell bursts set no less than 40 fires during the day. Some burned for hours.

Act No. 3 of 1848, which reorganizes the state and county election boards, "applies only to the election of public officers »rd to initiated and referred measures." The point has been raised that the election on the McMath bonds was not held in conformity with initiated Act No. 3 but the high court said the McMath bond election was not on «n Initiated measure and was not referred and the election did not apply to public officers. The court also defined the "fiscal" year set up in the McMath bond act as meaning the 12-month period beginning April 1 and ending the following March 31. No Dissenting Opinions The opinion was written by Justice Frank G. Smith, who also wrote the opinion In the so-called "Fulkerson case" in which the court upheld validity of the 1941 refunding bonds. There were no dissents, but Justice George Rise Smith did not participate In today's decision. The Fulkerson case was quoted in holding that the election on the bond issue was properly conducted and that the emergency clause of the McMath bond act is valid. •If the conditions of the roads are such as they were found and declared to be (in the emergency clause), their Immediate repair Is urgent," the opinion said.

The city of Little Rock today was authorized by the Arkansas Supreme Court to collect an occupation tax from radio stations. A suit attacking a city ordinance which levies a tax ol $250 annually on radio stations and $50 for soliciting radio advertising was brought by stations KGHI and KARK. The Pulnski County Chancery Court held that the ordinance taxes interestate commerce and therefore Is unconstitutional, but today's Miprcmi court decision reversed that decree. The high court conceded that radio waves actually go beyond state boundaries and noted that KAHK has been heard in all states and as far away as Australia and New Zealand. However, the opinion also declared that about one-fourth of these stations' business comes from local advertisers. It added that If a candidate for mayor Broadcasts or a local bakery advertises, the program not only "originate in Little <H/>ck but both there Intended appeal nnd actual effect are wholly local." "They may \y heard beyond the slate." th< court said, "but "it Is Immaterial... that a handful of non-res! d en U may listen momentarily before turning to a program of greater Interest. "Such transient eavesdropping Is merely an adventitious consequence of the uncontrollable carrying power of radio waves." Nary Center Opened HELENA. Ark.. May 23—W)— Rear Admiral L. F.

The strike again.it the Soviet-appointed management of the rails' ays, now m iUs [Ilird d ny, was marked by a weekend of bloody rioting in which Soviet-controlled police used guns against mobs of strikers and thc>r sympathizers. The decision of the military commanders of the United States. Britain and France in effect reaffirmed the property rights of the Russian- con trolled railway system. The rights were established in 1945 by four-power agreement. The ant i-Communist city government had asked Western authorities Tor the right to send their own police into railway installations and stations in the Western sectors, with the backing of American, British nnd French authorities. The -strikers—numbering about 12.COO— had been clamoring for Western intervention. BriT. Gen. Frank L. Hnwley of the United States called the command?, nts into session to discuss the city government's plea and other aspects of whnt he called an "intolerable .situation." Most trouble spots were inactive, at least for ihc time being. At least three trains managed to reach Berlin from the west, although the rail yards are largely unmanned.

The jumpsuit, mitts and mask are based on the Freddy Fazbear that haunts a childs dreams in Five Nights at Freddys 4.

{At 8:30 am on Friday, July 12th—you were born, Mason Gregory.}
About 10 years ago, Brock and I decided we would eventually like to have 2 kiddos. Well, guess what…we have 2 beautiful, healthy children. Both boys, both adorable, both spunky, talkative, happy and so loved by so many.
Planning Brayden's 1st birthday party (our first little guy) was so exciting! Every detail was covered, and I literally mean every detail. I even had a guest book for people to sign and write messages to Brayden—complete with a camera to snap a pic to put in the guest book as they signed.
Planning Mason's was a little different. Not because we have 4 more years of busy-ness under our belts, but just because I knew it was the last 1st birthday party I would plan for one of my own kids. There was a little bit more emotion attached to it—a bittersweet type of emotion. However, a party to plan is a party to plan—and it was fun!
I couldn't decide on a theme…should I do dump trucks, cars, police cars, fire trucks, the typical 1st birthday for a boy—aka everything blue type of party or something with animals. Mason LOVES cars and stuffed animals (and ninja turtles thanks to bubby), so I decided to do fire trucks. I mean, who doesn't love fire trucks with all their sirens and lights?!
Planning was much easier this time around. It's called Etsy. 'Nough said. Three E Designs (their shop is completely adorable) designed the invitations and an entire décor package for his birthday party. It was so organized (you all know I'm a sucker for organized projects) and so much easier than walking every Target and Party City aisle in three different towns.
Our little big one year old had a blast at his party. It's safe to say he partied his little heart out with his baby buddies and older friends and family members. And in case you were wondering if he liked the cake or not…this picture should clear things up.
I can't believe a year has (literally) flown by. I'm not the overly emotional type, but the day before his birthday I thought it would be a great (dumb is the word you're looking for) idea to go through the newborn clothes and get rid of what I didn't absolutely have to keep and there were a few times that waves of emotion smacked me in the face–hard. "He's going to be 1 tomorrow." "These 3 month clothes fit him at this time last year." "He's our last baby." "Mason, like Brayden, is growing up so fast that I can't even keep up!"
At the end of the day though, it all boils down to everyday blessings and love. I know how blessed we are to have 2 amazing, healthy little boys. God is amazingly good and I thank him every day, A LOT, for what He's given to us.
{Mason, on your 1st birthday, you could:}
Walk while holding onto something steady
Crawl faster than a cheetah runs
Chew anything put in front of you with your 6 teeth
Say "ma, ma, ma" and "da, da, da", "nigh, nigh", "ba, ba", "bye, bye, bye" and "hi".
Give open mouth kisses, only when you decided it was a good time to
Dance and sing to anything, even when Brayden sings songs to you
Wave goodbye and hello
Babble non-stop
Give hugs (again, selectively)
Sleep from 7:45 pm to 4 am, then again until 6:45 or 7 am.
Play with your favorite toys, like your Little People cars, stuffed Mickey Mouse, sea turtle and orangutan, bubby's ninja turtles and blocks and keys, and the occasional TV remote if you could steal it from daddy. 🙂
Mason Gregory,
YOU are one of our biggest blessings. Lots of hugs, kisses and infinite love to our ray of sunshine!!

➤ Sample well-known vocals without making your track sound like a simple remix of the original song
➤ Bear witness to a masterclass in mixdown and mastering through a highly-sensitive, finely-tuned ear
Introducing Future House in Ableton Live with Cy Kosis
Superbly talented producer Cy Kosis is here to take you along for a ride as he creates a bangin' Future House track from start to finish. He'll teach you how to create and assemble all the signature elements of classic Future House, and guide you through his approach to making music step-by-step.
He's cracked a number of Top 100 charts on Beatport, and has released a slew of tracks to widespread acclaim and recognition. He's collaborated with artists like David Heartbreak, Holly, and others, and even had one of his tracks played on BBC Radio One by none other than Diplo in 2016.
He's also an Ableton-sponsored artist, marking his true mastery of the DAW and as a producer.
His unwavering and infectious enthusiasm for his craft is on full display throughout this 6-hour tutorial, and in it, you'll learn: sound design, bass design, synth creation, drum mixing, arrangement, mixdown and mastering techniques of a seasoned veteran producer.
You're bound to come away with countless insights on not only how to produce vintage Future House music, but also on how to maneuver within Ableton and take full advantage of this powerful workstation.
Here's What You'll Learn Through Future House in Ableton Live
Fat, Chunky Drums with that Signature House Bounce
One of the classic elements of any great house track is that signature bounce and upbeat swing, and Cy Kosis will teach you how to produce these effects to perfection with your drums.
You'll find out how to make your drums as fat and chunky as possible, capable of anchoring your track and giving any listener that irresistible urge to move.
Watch as Cy Kosis optimizes frequencies, maximizes groove, reduces distortion and clipping, and creates a professional drum sound.
Ramp Up The Energy with a Mesmerizing Build Up
Learn how to effectively build tension and ramp up the energy to create mesmerizing build ups that will have the crowd hanging off of every beat.
Find out how to make sure your drums add even more energy to the build while avoiding dangerous feedback loops that can damage both your ears and your recording equipment.
Witness the techniques Cy Kosis uses to simulate the feeling of hearing the track live through highly creative FX additions, and to ensure your vocals provide an underpinning structure to your build up and makes it sound BIG.
Unique Touches for Unforgettable Drops
Find out how to give your drops, the most important part of the song, the unmistakable pumping sound shared by all great house tracks. Avoid the lazy drop repetition that serves as a hallmark of an amateur producer by finding ways to tweak and enhance your second drop.
Learn the unique touches Cy uses to make his drops stimulating, unpredictable, and unforgettable. You'll see how he draws out the life in his bass, giving it maximum flare without overwhelming the drums.
Discover how to make your changing sounds slide in seamlessly and give your tracks an authentic, genuine feel, as if the real instruments were being played in the same room all at once.
Meticulous and Methodical Mixdown & Mastering
Arguably the crown jewel of the entire tutorial, you'll be privy to Cy's mixdown and mastering process that puts his unbelievable ear on full display.
Watch as he meticulously and methodically works his way through the track, picking out elements a lesser producer would breeze over and peeling them out until he's created a smooth, flawless mix through a pile of micro-adjustments and alterations.
See how his investment in an exhaustive and all-encompassing mixdown carries over to the mastering process, as he proceeds to make his track as scintillating and shiny as possible with mechanical precision.

We've talked a lot about the power of mindset in navigating autoimmune disease, and how our internal conversation can be just as critical to managing symptoms as diet or medicine. Today I want to focus on how we can shift our mindset around our physical appearance so that we can thrive in relationship with ourselves and our partners. Read more here.Read More
One theme I'm noticing with clients lately is the progress that can be made when we focus energy on optimizing our primary relationships. Too often we approach our health with a siege mentality, laying out extensive battle plans to get our food, diet, supplements, and exercise on track. Like military generals, we endlessly strategize over which tactics will work here, what attack we might pursue over there. In the meantime, a critical area of health goes completely neglected, and often suffers: our relationships. Read more hereRead More
Anger is a pretty loaded emotion. Culturally, we tend to try to suppress anger and oftentimes don't allow ourselves to experience it. I have found that my autoimmune clients frequently experience SIGNIFICANT anger — at their disease, at their body for not functioning properly, at themselves for being the way that they are, and even at past events that continue to bother and haunt them — but they often also tell themselves that they shouldn't outwardly express their frustrations. Instead, they ignore them or bottle them up, only adding to their body's stress response, and, you guessed it, exacerbating their autoimmune systems (more on that in a minute.) Read more about anger and autoimmune disease here.Read More
It's not exactly news that the way in which we address health as a nation isn't working. With cancer, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, infections, and dementia on the rise, America is in an obvious health crisis. We are spending more money on healthcare than any other developed nation yet our health outcomes are among the worst. With a healthcare system that is designed to treat "illness," rather than create "wellness" or "health," we are clearly falling short.
In my health coaching practice, I teach clients to "think outside the box" in order to ditch their chronic ailments, start feeling good, and finally live their best lives. Read on to learn more!Read More
The holiday season can be taxing for anyone, but I know from my clients that it's even tougher on folks with autoimmune disease. Whether it's grappling with the fatigue symptomatic in any autoimmunity issue or figuring out the details of what to eat while out and about, this season of social gatherings can leave one feeling depleted, frustrated, and isolated. Learn some tips and tricks to maintaining your energy this holiday season here.Read More

|Webcast now available of Robert Dewar's seminar 'Africa's future: do water issues matter?'
|Posted: 30/05/2011
The latest of URSULA's seminar series was presented by Robert Dewar, recently retired High Commissioner to Nigeria and former Ambassador to Ethiopia. Robert drew on his considerable experience of working and living in Africa to discuss the issue of water in shaping Africa's future. Topics included the geography of Africa and how this shapes its water resource problems, the various environmental issues currently facing the sustainable usage of water in parts of Africa, and those that will be important in the future. The retreat of ice on Africa's highest mountains, and shrinking lakes suggest the climate is warming in places, and that water may become scarcer in the future. The talk then moved on to potential solutions to some of the issues, including political and technical opportunities. One particularly interesting discussion was the link between improvements to water supply and education benefits for children.

Men in Black 3 take over box office from The Avengers

MIB3 is better than #2, but nothing super great. I did like Josh Brolins take as Tommy Lee Jones. Good job. But all in all, let's stop the franchise at #3. Loose ends are tied up.
Why is it that the Men In Black 3 plot seems slightly similar to the plot of Back to the Future Part 2? Just me ok 😛

To use it, enter any car with a moddable light bar. This can be everything from a BeamNG made car, from a modded car, as long as the light bar has an option to change the audio. If it doesn't change out the lightbar.
From there, you can simply select the siren audio under the drop down, you'll find all the different sirens available under there. Have a play around and find one that you like!
For the horns, almost any car is supported. Simply find "Horn" in the car modify options and pick one of the bullhorns.
