"This is where it begins, Captain. This is where the frontier pushes back!"
What is it about?
At the 3-year mark of a 5-year mission, the crew of the USS Enterprise, Chris Pine, Sylar, Eomer son of Éomund and Unkar Plutt, are attacked by Luther in drag and crash land on an uncharted planet. They must gather the stranded crew and prevent Luther from fulfilling what he had planned all along.
Who's in it?
Young Jack Ryan, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Gazelle from Kingsman: The Secret Service and Stringer Bell
Why should I watch it?
+Star Trek Beyond is probably the best entry in the Kelvin timeline.
+Many references to prior Star Trek installments, movies and television shows that don't distract the non-Trekkie audience, but pay a decent amount of fan-service to the more open-minded Trekkies.
+We spend more time with Spock and Bones, Scotty and Jaylah which really helps expand the relationships of the characters… ahem… 'beyond' Kirk and Spock.
+Damn funny.
+Writers Simon Pegg and Doug Jung's script is witty and on point.
+The action is as effective as it is impressive.
+You have birthday blues and identify with Captain Kirk in any way.
+Really, damn funny.
+You need more proof that Justin Lin is a clever director.
+Idris Elba just keeps being awesome.
+Scene stealing Sofia Boutella as Jaylah.
+Did I mention it was very, really, damn fun — oh, I did… Doesn't matter! It's so much fun!
Why shouldn't I watch it?
-If you're a die-hard Trekkie, then Star Trek Beyond will most certainly rub you the wrong way (as most things do…)
-The first Act character development is a retread of many of the motivations of broody Kirk and Spock.
-It isn't Star Wars.
-The cinematography can be twisty and distracting at times.
-You really don't like the Beastie Boys.
-You're xenophobic.
-You're expecting the same movie as both Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
-The score can be a little too dramatic at times.
-You don't like fun in general (or laughing for that matter).
Anything else?
With a fourth installment that has just been announced, Star Trek Beyond has set the series in a fresh new direction. I have faith in Justin Lin and hope he returns to direct the next movie. If you can, please see it in IMAX format. It's worth the extra price of admission just to see Lin's impressive visuals in space. I really liked Star Trek Beyond and I think I may be heading back to see it again this week. You should too!

WATCH – Declare daily, "I am healed, and scientifically healed." Christian Science is the victor, and vanquishment is unknown to omnipotent Truth. I cannot be grieved or disappointed, since God is All and my life is hid with Christ in God. There is nothing lost. Mental malpractice cannot reverse my declarations, cannot touch my conscious or unconscious thought, for there are not minds many. There is only one Mind, divine Mind.
No aggressive mental suggestion can cause me to forget my duty to God, to our Leader , or to mankind. Mind is unlimited in its source and supply. Man's substance is in Mind, and cannot be impoverished. There is no poverty, no lack. Fear is no part of consciousness. Consciousness is cognizant only of the things of God, good. There is no reality in discord. God's child cannot suffer and be unhappy because God is the only power and He never made anything but love and peace. Mary Baker Eddy

It's been almost three months since I last posted in this blog. I've been away from Davao from time to time so I do not have any idea with what is going on with the city. But since I am back for good, I will definitely update this blog with my new discoveries about Davao City. I am also considering of changing the look of this blog. But it will take me some time since I am very busy with work right now.

I was really surprised when I saw this building near SM Matina. It must have been ages since I last visited Davao because I did not notice this structure before. I think this is the first condo in the city (correct me if I'm wrong). This is a big development and many are following it. Davao is really moving forward. But I just hope that Davao is not just about buildings, malls, and bars. Let us protect and preserve our values and culture.

I love the texture of quinoa. It's so weird. Which is why I also love this Orange Ginger Quinoa Salad. The texture of the quinoa offsets the softness of the grilled vegetables.
Orange Ginger Quinoa Salad: This colourful, flavourful dish came about from pork tenderloin inspiration and a beautiful hot day. This beautiful hot day was the first of the season, and I enjoyed it immensely by spending the day editing my cookbook on my back porch, and the evening with friends, a barbecue and a Perfect Manhattan.
Life is grand.
I went with asian-type flavours for the tenderloin marinade and got inspired to do something to match. I love my food to match.
So this Orange Ginger Quinoa Salad was born. Filled with grilled vegetables, fresh herbs and greens, and a dressing that is to die for.
I made the dressing initially with a bit of honey — but it isn't necessary. The sweetness from the fresh squeezed orange juice is more than enough for this dish (and keeps it Community Dump friendly).
If these flavours aren't your jam, and you're okay with using raw veggies instead — give this Lentil Quinoa Salad a go 🙂
Follow the directions below to make this one. I served it with Sesame Soy Pork Tenderloin, but this salad can definitely stand alone — especially with some chickpeas or grilled shrimp or additional protein added in.
Orange Ginger Quinoa Salad
- 1 cup quinoa + 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 tsp sea salt + more to taste
- 6 – 8 asparagus stalks, ends trimmed
- 1 small zucchini, cup lengthwise
- 1 large portobello mushroom
- 2 small sweet peppers, cut in half, seeded
- 1/2 red onion, quarters but kept attached to root
- handful greens (spinach, mustard greens, etc.)
- snow peas, slightly steamed if desired
- 3 green onions, coursely chopped
- 1/4 cup *pickled red onion (optional)
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (optional)
- Orange Ginger Dressing: 1/3 cup fresh squeezed o.j. + 1 tsp orange zest + 1 Tbsp soy sauce + 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil + 2 tsp fresh grated ginger + 2 tsp sambal olek + black pepper
- Whisk together Orange Ginger Dressing ingredients and set aside.
- While the barbecue is warming up to High-Medium, prepare vegetables and set in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Add quinoa to a heavy-bottomed, medium-sized pot and toast the grains for a minute or two. Add water and bring to a boil. Add salt, reduce to simmer, and cook about 15 minutes. Remove from heat, but keep lid on until ready to serve.
- Place onion on the grill for 10 minutes, turning halfway. Grill zucchini, peppers, mushroom for 8 minutes, turning halfway. Grill asparagus for 2 minutes, turning halfway.
- In a large bowl, place greens, snow peas, green onion and top with quinoa and the Orange Ginger Dressing.
- Chop grilled vegetables and stir in with the rest of the salad.
- Top with pickled red onion and fresh basil (both optional).
- *Pickled Red Onion: slice red onions and cover in boiling water a few minutes. Drain then top with red wine or raw cider vinegar. Let onion marinade for at least an hour, up to a week. Store in a glass jar in the fridge.

Where's your desperation?
"In my life right now, I'm eighty. There is so much left to do. So I would like to go back and give myself a bit longer, but as it is, I don't know how long I have to live, but certainly it is that every year takes me closer to the end, whenever that end is. And so there is this feeling of desperation - there's so many places I want to go, so many people I want to talk to, and so many hearts I want to reach."

Principal Officers of the House of Representatives accuses Jibrin of abusing the 2016 budget
Yesterday, the Principal Officers of the House of Representatives said that the sacking of Mr. Abdulmumuni Jibrin, the former Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriation, was a collective decision between them.
This recent statement was signed by all the ten (10) principal officers; The Speaker, Dogara; Deputy Speaker, Yussuff Lasun; Majority Leader, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila; Chief Whip, Alhassan Ado-Doguwa; Deputy Leader, Buba Jibril; Deputy Whip, Pally Iriase; Minority Leader, Leo Ogor; Deputy Minority Leader, Chukwuka Onyeama; Deputy Minority Leader, Yakubu Barde; and Deputy Minority Whip, Binta Bello-Maigeri.
According to them, they said that his sacking came as majority of the members agitated his removal after discovering that he abused the 2016 budget. The principal officers stated further that the budget would have been really messy if it had suffered more abuse in the hands of Mr. Jibrin.
They noted that they had to quickly kick him out after various Ministries, Departments and Agencies complained of being harassed by the former Appropriation Chairman.
Their statement reads below;
"The proponent (of budget-padding), the recently sacked Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriation Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin, sought to make allegations of impropriety against the leadership of the House over the process and content of the 2016 budget passed by the National Assembly and signed into law.
"While the leadership is determined to ensure that absolute diligence, maturity and due process are employed in dealing with the allegations, instead of joining the accuser in a press war, it is important to state, in the interest of the agitated public, that the allegations are wild, baseless and unfounded.
"Good enough, all the said allegations raise issues that can be easily verified and the public will be availed ample opportunity upon the resumption of the House.
"In the meantime, however, the leadership of the House of Representatives wishes to reaffirm that it took collective action, in conjunction with the Senate and a team from the Executive, to rescue the 2016 Budget when it became obvious that the former appropriation Chairman had placed both the document and the process in jeopardy resulting in a spate of agitation from Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
"Furthermore, the decision to relieve the erstwhile Appropriation Chairman of his position was a collective decision of the leadership in response to unrelenting pressures from the overwhelming majority of Honourable members who were irked by the former Chairman's gross abuse of the budget process.
"Both actions were taken in the best interest of the institution and the nation for which we take full responsibility.
"Truth may be slow but it usually always wins the race in the end. We have no doubts."
However, Mr. Jibrin in a recent statement reaffirmed his allegations against the leadership of the House of Representatives, and noted that they will soon be arrested and charged for corruption.
"For the avoidance of doubt, let me restate that I have interacted severally with anti-corruption agencies.
"It is however heartwarming to know that they are indeed working meticulously on the matter.
"I have little doubt that they will do justice expeditiously and sooner than letter, we will get to the point where every Nigerian is waiting for — the arrest of Speaker Dogara …" he said.

Cosmo Solano was bitten by the show business bug when he performed "the TV Magic Cups" publicly for the first time before his Kindergarten class at "show and tell". His first paid performance came at the age of 13 when he earned $15.00 to perform at a backyard barbecue.
Cosmo later studied classic stage magic at the prestigious Chavez College of Magic, but his love for performing "close up magic", soon overshadowed his desire to be a stage magician and he become one of the busiest magicians in Los Angeles.
"I wasn't trying to become famous, I was trying to make sure I ate! I took every type of magic job I could, my love was for sleight of hand but I did kidshows, nursing homes, taught magic to kids at day camps, and even worked in magic shops during the day. Living in your car for a couple of months will cure you of being complacent very quickly!"
At 21, he became a member of the world famous Hollywood Magic Castle where he would be mentored by contemporary masters in sleight of hand. Over the next few decades, he would meet and become close friends with many of the very legends he admired as a child.
For over 30 years Cosmo has since performed for heads of state, celebrities and leaders in business and industry. After a few years in Las Vegas, Cosmo returned to Colorado seeking a more family oriented environment and now resides in Colorado Springs, CO.
Cosmo has become internationally known among his peers for inventing unique magic effects used by some of the top performers around the world. His influence and creations can be seen the world over on stages, in private venues and on international television.
In 2015 Cosmo wrote a unique show called "the 10". created specifically for "intimate" audiences of just ten people.
After a short and successful trial run in various public venues, Cosmo built a small private theater (in a private location) that seats 12 people, called the Close Up Room. Since it's opening he and his wife Carrie have hosted dozens of private performances for audiences that attend by invitation or recommendation only. The Close Up Room continues to operate today.
"For many years, I've had the desire to one day own my own theater. Opening "The Close Up Room" started as an experiment that I'd hoped would allow me to do my "dream" show featuring very intimate, personal demonstrations of sleight of hand. I hoped I might be able to eventually do one show a month. To my surprise and joy, we immediately were getting requests to do shows almost once a week! If The Close Up Room was a dream come true, "Cosmo's Magic Theater" is like a dream within a dream!" -Cosmo Solano

One incorrect process could lead to different failure. All business processes are chained with one another. Normally, with one link broken, surely almost everything would be broken as well, which is why it is always advisable to track the problems and take corrective action as possible.
The author and team should consider whether it may be beneficial to cover some of the tasks in multiple separate procedures - there are no hard and fast rules. The best approach is to assure a clear and easy understanding of the process. All that can be said is that a flow chart generally is easier to use if it less complex. Also, if a flow chart focuses on one process or functional area it provides easier future change and control.
When writing technical papers, manuals, e-books, or research papers we often try to explain procedures, processes, and the proper way to make decisions based on that data or the task at hand. In explaining these processes it makes sense to use flowcharts, something that is very popular with academia, and business management gurus.
Some might think that it is lazy to put so many graphics into a research paper, rather than just explaining the process in words. It turns out that this is not the case because the reason for writing a manual, textbook, or technical paper is to give out information, instruction, and knowledge that will be retained and comprehended by the reader. Remember our job as technical writers is to put forth information. If our reader fails to comprehend that information we have wasted our time, and their time. I hope you will please consider all this.

In the first direct military US action against the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, cruise missiles launched from two warships in the Mediterranean have struck the Syrian airfield of al-Shayrat.
The strike was authorised by President Trump in response to the Assad regime's use of chemical weapons in the Idlib area this week, although Russia described the US attack as a violation of international law.
Moscow has said it will suspend an arrangement with the US under which information about flights over Syria is shared to avoid possible incidents.
The US strike against al-Shayrat involved 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers USS Ross and Porter in the eastern Mediterranean.
According to the Pentagon, the strike targeted "aircraft, hardened aircraft shelters, petroleum and logistical storage, ammunition supply bunkers, air defense systems, and radars" at the airfield. The aircraft at the airfield comprised the majority of the Syrian Arab Air Force's surviving Su-22 fighter-bombers. These represent the SyAAF's main strike asset, and it is thought around ten were at al-Shayrat.
"We are assessing the results of the strike," said Pentagon spokesman Capt Jeff Davis. "Initial indications are that this strike has severely damaged or destroyed Syrian aircraft and support infrastructure and equipment at Shayrat airfield, reducing the Syrian government's ability to deliver chemical weapons," he continued.
"The places we targeted were the things that made the airfield operate. It's the petroleum facilities, it's the aircraft radar, what they use for take-off and landing, as well as air defence radar," Davis said. "It's the sites that are specific to making it operate, as well as hangars and aircraft themselves."
Photographs of al-Shayrat published on social media after the raid showed a collapsed hardened aircraft shelter (apparently empty). Other images showed Su-22s surviving inside undamaged HASes.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defence (MoD), only 23 of the 59 cruise missiles made it to their target.
At the same time, US-led missions against so-called Islamic State (IS) in Syria continue. On April 6 the Combined Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve conducted 24 strikes consisting of 58 engagements against targets in both Syria and Iraq. Of these, 14 strikes and 16 engagement were against IS targets in Syria.
What's left of the Fitters?
Prior to the US missile strike, the SyAAF operated perhaps 30 Fitters, comprising Su-22M3, Su-22M4K and two-seat Su-22UM3K versions, operated by three squadrons. These were comparatively well provided with weapons including parachute-retarded FAB-500ShN general-purpose, ODAB-500ShL thermobaric and OFZAB-500 incendiary bombs, plus unguided rockets. They had no capability to operate at night.
Reports from Russia24 correspondent Evgeny Poddubny at the airfield suggest that at least nine aircraft were destroyed in the US attack, although this total is likely to include other assets at al-Shayrat.
A statement from the Russian MoD describes the destruction of "a warehouse of material and technical property, a training building, a canteen, six MiG-23 aircraft in repair hangars and a radar station…" While the 'MiG-23' aircraft may have been misidentified, they are known to have been based at al-Shayrat. On the other hand, at least one photo does seem to show a Su-22 destroyed in its HAS:
As well as the Fitters of 677 Squadron, the base was also home to a detachment of seven or eight Su-24MK2 Fencer strike aircraft, between five and eight MiG-23MF and MiG-23MLD Flogger fighters, five or six L-39ZA/ZO Albatros advanced trainer/light attack aircraft, and around 10 Mi-25/Mi-35 Hind helicopters. Interestingly, it seems that the Mi-35s at least were operated by joint Syrian/Russian crews.
The US apparently informed Russia about the cruise missile strike beforehand to avoid Russian casualties.

Warm and cozy golden turmeric tonic
With September here and fall quickly approaching, it feels like the perfect time to share a recipe for something warm and comforting, like my Golden Turmeric Tonic.
While turmeric, aka the 'golden spice', may have only shown up on the radar of wellness chasers (like myself) in the last few years, practitioners of Ayuvedic and Chinese medicine have been using turmeric to treat a myriad of health issues including inflammation, skin diseases, poor digestion, and various liver conditions for eons.
Knowing this, I try to consume as much turmeric as I can.
Whether it's a smoothie or chia pudding for breakfast or a soup or stew for dinner, turmeric's very subtle flavor makes it fairly easy to include in just about any kind of dish. But my absolutely favorite way to add more turmeric to my diet is to make a gentle, warm 'golden tonic' to sip on at night. In fact, I enjoy it so much that I started making large batches, bottling it, and storing it in the fridge so I can sip on some throughout the day too!
The majority of research available on the health benefits of turmeric tends to focus on it's anti-inflammatory properties and support of detoxification (specifically it's effect on lessening the degree of severity associated with certain types of arthritis) but recent studies on turmeric intake also include it's potential for balancing blood sugar and improving cognitive function.
While I don't have any major ailments to speak of at the moment that I'm using turmeric to treat, I will say that, knowing all of the wide-ranging health conditions that it's believed to improve, really encourages me to include it as a part of my daily diet.
If you haven't found a way to incorporate more turmeric into your diet, there's no better time to start than right now. Whether you're in need of a healthy pick-me-up or simply looking for something warm, cozy and healthy to sip on this fall, look no further than the recipe below. I've even included some of my favorite optional add-in ingredients to enhance the healthy benefits.
Golden Turmeric Tonic
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Yields: approximately 64 ounces
1.5 liters of hot water
3/4 cup plant-based milk of choice
2 tbsp freshly grated turmeric root (or ground powder)
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp ground vanilla bean powder
1 tsp ceylon cinnamon
1.5 tbsp coconut butter
5-10 drops of liquid stevia (or 1-2 packets of granulated sweetener of choice)
Optional add-in ingredients:
beauty shroom vegan collagen powder by moon juice
ashwaghanda powder
pearl powder
maca powder
Fill a large kettle with about 1.5 liters of water and bring it to a boil
Add hot water and all remaining ingredients to a blender and blend on a low-medium speed until all of the ingredients are well mixed.
Pour tonic into air tight containers (I use 32 oz. mason jars) and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Enjoy hot or cold. To reheat, add tonic to a small sauce pan and cook on the stove top on a low heat.

Nashville startup sues reporter over blog
From the Nashville Post:
A local orthodontics startup is once again heading to court to stymie criticism of its direct-to-consumer teeth alignment product.
SmileDirectClub filed suit in Davidson County Chancery Court Wednesday against Gizmodo Media Group and author Nick Douglas over his story titled, "You Could Fuck Up Your Mouth With SmileDirectClub." The company argues that the story, posted last week to Gizmodo site Lifehacker, is "filled with unsubstantiated false statements and innuendo that attacks [SmileDirectClub's] products and services."
The author describes criticisms from the American Association of Orthodontists about at-home alignment products but admits he has no direct experience with SmileDirectClub products. Instead, he's been using a product from Invisalign, the parent company for which also manufactures SDC's products and is a major investor in SDC.
"All these false statements and the defamatory title are done under the guise of 'journalism' without any disclaimer that the statements are allegedly his opinion," SDC wrote in the complaint submitted by three Nashville-based attorneys from Bahou Miller.

Fuck me sideways. I had about 97 of those Gold Dungeon Keys saved up as Ive never bothered with them. Too much time, effort and SoT for little reward. Used 1 key today and decided to go do a few more. Used open all and used all 97.
Had 11 Trooper Keys from Sacrifices. Used 2 keys and was just about to use another but they are all gone. Must have opened all again.
Im dumb sometimes.
You should be able to put in a support ticket on that. There is no reason they cant have the "use all" disabled on these damn keys.
The event was just OK for me. Dont really need the keys btu get hwy others do so that is all good. I did happen to get a Assassin Minotaur and finally an Assassin Hierophant - so that is two characters to chalk off. My kids did much better - they got a few new characters including a few Minotaurs - I think this is where events vary so much on who is gaining - cant see many end gamers and those that have been here form the start getting much from these? But new players and middle level players will get a fair bit they can use.
Anyone tried the new talisman yet - not got mine levelled to max yet but will do soon.
Missing the following characters (well the ones I want!):
Samurai Emperor Eddie - NotB Eddie - Pharoah Ramesses Eddie - Icarus
The Count - Krampus - PDK - Hierophant - Dark Lilith - All Minotaurs except Assassin!
"We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies" - Two Minutes to Midnight - Powerslave
This game is unbalanced like shit and these so called "features" are not well developed..,
The thing of this "Game" is Quantity over Quality...
I'm still waiting for over a year that they fix the god damn News Section to be in english instead of german if i set the game to english.., but it is how it is.., they do what they want and this is always half the way to be finished..,
"If you don't want to listen, find out the hard way."
But if everyone's gone it's too late...
I been unable to get into the game all day. Server maintnaince message. I dont remember it ever taking this long. Anyone else having the same problem?
Yep, also can't get in. Started 3 hours ago. Hope it is done soon, I still have all 9 SQ open from today!
March 1st 2019 Update - NEVER FORGET!
Eddies: Emperor - Ramess - $-Gang-$ - Angel - Icarus - $-Ed Hunter-$ - $-Tour-$ - $-Lone-$ - VHelsing
Allies: Elf - Wdeer - Nutcrack - PDK - $-Sirius-$ - Mino - Mino - LoL - LoL - LoL - LoL - cLoL - D. Lilith - Shard - Shard - Shard - Shard - Shard - Lucy- 3 Onyx - 3 Wwolfs
They may be doing an update with the new features. It has taken this long for other updates.

Nobody likes to spend their hard-earned money on unneeded services. Be it the regular cleanup of your apartment or Bond Cleaning in Melbourne, everyone looks for a service that will be worth the money spent. But according to many people, you vacuum your carpet once per week, and you don't have wet pups running all around your place then what the logic of opting for deep carpet cleaning is?
As a matter of significance, in the event that you've never had the service done, you don't realise what you haven't witnessed especially from the aesthetic point of view. Carpet steam cleaning Melbourne can rejuvenate the way your floors look in a way that you wouldn't have thought possible. This service is capable of doing away with the dirt you didn't know, was, even there. In any case, there are many other advantages than you can think of that this service can offer you. Some of them are mentioned below:
• Longer Life
By employing a carpet steam cleaning service, you are basically enhancing the life of your carpets. Redoing your home or even a single room in carpeting is a costly attempt, positively a great deal more than procuring a service to do them. While vacuuming does its part, it isn't going to get into the strands and take out that dirt that has got deep into the fibres and settled on the flooring sternly. In fact, it can push it to be more profound. In the long run, even the most proficient service providers will be unable to do much. Keeping your carpeting fresh and splendid is a venture best done at regular intervals by hiring the professionals of carpet steam cleaning in Melbourne. This is something that is hard to achieve otherwise.
• Do Away with Allergens
– Have you noticed that you've begun sniffling and sneezing significantly more of late? This may be the case that you have assumed that your hypersensitivities and allergies are deteriorating with age. That is completely conceivable, but at the same time, there's a possibility that it is because of the allergens that have developed in the strands of your carpet. Carpet steam cleaning can eliminate and remove the dust mites and different allergens that have a tendency to get implanted down in the strands of the carpet, bringing on your allergies to kick up. If you have pets or kids who have a tendency of jumping and rolling on the ground, you owe it to them to give them the cleanest zone of play conceivable.
• Aesthetically Pleasing
This goes without saying that a carpet steam clean will be able to prolong the lifetime of your carpet and make your home and business welcoming. That is why you should do it at regular intervals. This is an inclusion during the time of bond cleaning in Melbourne. As there are no unforgiving and harsh chemicals destroying your carpets, floors and designed furniture, your carpet will search better for more. You will be astonished at the dynamic quality a hot water extraction clean. You will be surprised at the dynamic quality that a hot water extraction clean will be able to bestow on your carpet.
The above are some of the astounding perks of carpet steam cleaning. You should try these once in order to understand the benefits.

Here's An Opinion On:
Threaded inserts or threaded bushings are fasteners which can be made with wood, plastic or metal. There are many applications and varieties of threaded inserts, typically a thread hole is created and the threaded insert is inserted into the hole. This can be used to repair a stripped thread, provide durability in soft materials, eliminate the need for machine operation and assist in conversions such as metric threads to unified threads. Threaded inserts can be found in airplanes, furniture, light fixtures, automobiles, electronics and telecommunication devices.
Metal threaded inserts are made in an either a coil or solid formation, they are ideal for quick repairs for damaged threads in soft metals and protect preformed holes from wear and stripping. Metal threaded inserts are used in sheet metal also known as sandwich metal and honeycomb composite metal to distribute tension and torque over a large area of material. One type of threaded insert is called a captive nut, it is pressed into a pre drilled hole to connect or mold separate pieces. The inserts are knurled to create a strong attachment to the material it is supporting.
Plastic threaded inserts are manufactured in a press in or ultrasonic design and use thermal insertion or ultrasonic welding machines to make a variety of plastic products. Another variety of a threaded insert is called a swage nut, which has a knurled portion that swages the sides of soft metal or plastic holes to better grip the nut. Press in or press fit threaded inserts and swage nuts are used in panels too thin to be threaded or soft materials too weak to be threaded. Knurled inserts can be used for metal, plastic and wood applications. They are designed to withstand torque and provide structure.
Wood threaded inserts are available in a knife thread or hex drive, and can be used in soft or hard wood. Knife threads are commonly used in hard woods such as maple, cherry and oak and hex drive inserts are commonly used for soft woods such as pine. Hex drive nuts are utilized for composition board and MDF. Ready to assemble furniture or modular furniture is shipped in with parts preinstalled with threaded inserts.
Threaded inserts are used and manufactured for a large variety of products and expands numerous industries. Matdan Corp. manufactures threaded inserts and other specialty fasteners in the United States and China for the aerospace, automotive, medical, military and telecommunications industries.

SP Fire Station – Important Meeting
It has been brought to our attention that the future and the possible decommission of our neighborhood fire station is back on the table.
A request by the Fire Chief was sent out to supervisors asking their input on "what they would like done with the Summit Park Fire Station." It has always been the intent of the HOA to encourage the PCFD to keep our fire station in a position of operational readiness. Changing it's status could significantly affect our homeowners insurance rates. We encourage everyone to attend the upcoming Park City Fire Administrative Control Board meeting and, if given an opportunity, voice their opposition and recommendations. The meeting will take place Tuesday, Mar 4th at 6:30 at the FD head quarters, 736 Bitner road. All of the Control Board meetings are scheduled on the first Tuesday of each month. Hope to see you there.

1 Comment
My self, other board members and a good number of concerned Summit Park neighbors attended last nights PCFD Administrative Control Board meeting. Our concern for the our fire station was voiced and we, the Summit Park community, were assured by the Board and Chief Hewitt there will be no plans to change its current status. The decommissioning of this station surely would have impacted all of us through our insurance carrier. During our discussion the station's condition of disrepair was mentioned. This resulted in interest by the board to use funds to upgrade and make the station useful once again. I want to thank everyone who attended the meeting and or submitted comments. This structure is an integral component to our community and our long range safety plan goals.

Database text fields can store unwanted white space along with text characters, and this can cause issues in analysis. The difficulty arises when trying to do comparisons. As an example is "Main St" the same as "Main St "? Are the two strings equal? In most software applications these are viewed as two different strings. For a user viewing data, it can be difficult to determine if a field has leading or trailing spaces.
Data set behavior:
In order to consistently handle spaces Crash Magic (version 188.8.131.52 or greater) will trim any blank spaces from the front and back of all data fields in data returned from a database. This means that Crash Magic will query the database for the fields specified in the study, and any text fields will be stripped of leading and trailing white space( "Main St " will be pulled into Crash Magic as "Main St").
Crash Magic behavior:
Once a dataset has been read into Crash Magic blank spaces will be respected by the program. This means that any user entered information will respect extra spaces in comparisons.

Unlike other telecom companies, Jio entered the market directly with voice over LTE to provide voice service on its network. Jio has not only provided better speed but also at really affordable prices you are connected to the web of internet. The company has billions of users and is expanding its business lightning fast. From Jio SIM cards to Jio phones, the company provides everything with best services at aggressive pricing.

But, there lies a problem!
People aren't able to access that internet services sometimes. Most of the people are unaware of how to connect it manually. So, here we come with a trick.
Also Read: 5 Best Indian Web Series That Will Make You Proud of Indian Cinema
Usually, when you try to connect to Jionet wifi, you are transferred to the Jionet portal page i.e portal.jio.in. There you have to fill the mobile number on which you want to get your OPT and then do the further proceedings. After all the formalities, you will get connected to internet.
Though you can connect the wifi network manually, it becomes very troublesome for users sometimes. Especially, when users have to reconnect to the network, again and again, using OTP.
Jionet App makes connectivity easy
Jionet also offers a mobile app with the same name Jionet to tackle such problems. The app provides a one-time setup and says goodbye to the old manual cumbersome process.
Jionet lets you stay connected at thousands of hotspots across the country, and you'll never stress about data limits or speed again. You no longer need to login to any Jionet hotspot, there is no need to accept terms and conditions every time you connect to a hotspot.
Simply install Jionet app and forget about every hassle. For setting the app on your device:
- Download the Jionet app on your mobile phone from Google Play Store or App Store depending on your operating system.
- Open the app and grant the permission Jio requires.
- When you are on home screen, go to the Mobile tab.
- Enter the mobile number and wait for the OTP.
- Once you fill the OTP, you will get connected to the superfast Jio network.
That's it! Just after this short and simple process, you are connected to Jio Network.
Now, you are free from that repetitive manual process of filling login form again and again.
You can download Jionet app from Google Play Store. For downloading the app, click here.
For downloading the app in your iOS device, click here.
All above that, whenever you are in Jio's net zone, your device automatically gets connected to the network. But, as the midnight hour strikes, you have to connect again to regain the access.
If you have any questions regarding Jio wifi or its app, don't forget to post your query in the comments section below.

Like the hotel, the redesign of the factory as offices included inset windows – albeit much larger – and contrasting light and dark facades. The overall effect however, befitting a luxury office development, was far more controlled, with straightforward rectangular windows and elevations clad in either black or white stone.
An appropriate sense of liveliness was retained, however, by disguising the buildings' rigid structural grid – achieved by offsetting and varying the width of the window mullions – and using three different types of glass, either reflective gold, reflective silver or grey tinted.
To open up as much of the internal space as possible for deep-plan offices, the main service and circulation zones were pulled to one side, and the windows were enlarged as much as possible to increase the amount of daylight reaching the interior. With their different reflections and tints, the windows give the elevations both a pixilated texture and a perception of depth, which combine to create a distinctive character for the whole development.

I knew it was good and it has been on my short-list for quite some time so when I saw it with a decent discount I bought it. Now browsing this section of the forum it seems all-but dead. Am I mistaken?Is this game a (fun but) dead end? With no further support from FFG? Would you recommend buying expansions? If so; which ones? And why?

Whether in context of eBusiness, eBanking, eGovernment, GDPR, ….
we think we know how to control access...
and often think of it as just a technical or at best a procedural issue…But is this vision correct and complete and do you have a mature vision and correct understanding of the topic?
A short checklist for you to check your knowledge…
Topics that should be on your radar these days:
· How to set up a trusted framework for my federated business-to-business eco-system?
· How do I ensure I really govern access not only internally but also towards my contracted cloud-services?
· How to ensure I have real control in context of my GDPR-/Compliance-obligations?
· How do I apply old school IAM in the age of API?
So, if you want to keep up as a responsible professional, you need to join…
because as CIO: e-identity and access control are the foundation of your IT-landscape. Access by employees, partners, customer is vital. So keeping up-to-date on the latest trends in the area is also vital.
because as CISO: GDPR is just one of the topics which require solid access control throughout your organisation's landscape. The solutions at hand / the key trends are vital to be aware of.
because as IT-architect: as an IT architect you need to embed eIdentity, eAuthentication and access controls into your organisation's IT-landscape. You can only do this with a thorough understanding of the technologies/solutions and the related trends.
because as auditors/program manager: understanding what is possible in this area and how it can be used in projects, in the area of compliance is key for you. Hence it is highly recommended to get a direct view on what is happening in this area.

Waiting at the airport for my flight back to Brisbane so no more travel tales for this year. It has been a great trip. Thank you to Anna and Jalil for organising it and for the great accommodation and company.
Hong Kong Disneyland
I am thrill seekered out after a great day at Disneyland. We left the hotel at 10 am and got back at 9 pm so it really was a big day out. We went on heaps of rides, saw some great shows, saw the parade and fireworks and yes, have the t-shirts to prove it. Disney sure knows how to put on a show. It is a great theme park, not too big so walking between attractions doesn't take too long and it wasn't crowded so no long waits for anything. My favourites – Space Mountain, the Mystic Castle and It's a Small World.
A big day in Lan Tau
It has been a big day – big cable car trip up a big mountain, big Buddha, big and fast bus drive down the mountain, big waves in a little boat. Have seen some amazing things and have the souvenirs to prove it – even the t-shirt.
Last night we spent up big at the outlet shops – extra 20% off at Ralph Lauren if one bought 4 items so it was a no brainer. I also bought a pair of Rockport shoes which I have worn all day and my feet are humming as opposed to screaming. The Ralph Lauren socks may have helped and no, socks didn't count towards the 4 items.
Anna has just arrived at my door ready for dinner – she wants to wear all her new clothes in one go.
We are going to the hotel's Chinese restaurant for dinner.
This is a fantastic hotel. Am experiencing the best of the Marriott chain around the world. Thank you Anna.
Hong Kong Day 6
Being the sensible one of the family I am back in my hotel while others who shall remain nameless don't know when to call it a night. We have all overeaten at a fantastic restaurant on the harbour – for Anna's birthday – very smart of her to book a birthday dinner 3 days before the actual birthday because of course we shall have to have another one on the 10th. I don't think I will need to eat before then anyway having made a big effort at trying a bit of everything at tonight's buffet.
I went on the biggest roller coaster I have ever been on today at Pcean Park – only went to see the pandas really but once again( as per the buffet) one likes to get one's money's worth. Lots of fun and the pandas were great – such beautiful animals. Jalil reckons one of the roller coasters was the best he has ever been on which is a big call for a rollercoaster aficionado.
Hong Kong Day 5
Another day of amazing sights, sounds and smells. I had a day exploring – Hollywood road with antique shops, Soho with bars and restaurants, bird markets, flower markets and finished the day with dim sum( as per itinerary) at the Temple street night markets. I tried to find the goldfish markets but only succeeded in finding 2 shops selling goldfish with 3 very contented looking cats in one of them. I imagine for a cat that could be a happy or very frustrating life depending on whether you get to try the stock or not.
Flower markets were incredible – rows of shops selling every flower and plant imaginable. Even tulips from Holland – I saw them unpacking the boxes.
Our Dim sum last night was delicious – having had Argentinian, Mexican and even hot dogs at the races some more authentic local cuisine was timely – made even more authentic by the sight of a rat running through one of the kitchens – not the restaurant we chose. I enjoyed it all except the pork liver had a texture which I couldn't cope with.
We also visited Harbourside shopping centre – 440 exclusive shops – a whole floor devoted to kids' designer clothing, toys, prams etc. I tried on a $2780 dress just for the fun of it – decided it didn't quite suit. Caught the end of the famous harbour lights show and hopefully will see the whole thing tonight – pretty spectacular.
Hong Kong Day 4
Feeling rich this morning after a winning night at the races. Anna, Sandy and I all came out ahead. Happy Valley race course is amazing. We took taxis there – one took Anna, Jalil and me the long way round so we left before Sandy and Cyn, got there after and paid twice as much. We realised when coming home, it was quicker to walk. There was a huge crowd at the races and an amazing track. Putting a bet on was very easy – just more long queues.
I explored the local area earlier in the day. There was a Sotheby's auction in the exhibition centre next door. Only $5 million HK dollars for a Ming plate. I stood very still while watching.
Hong Kong Day 3
Is it Day 3 – I have lost track of time. We did the Peak today – only a half hour wait in the queue which Anna and Jalil did while Sandy, Cyn and I explored an amazing aviary. Sandy noticed the remarkable lack of birdshit on the elevated pathway and railings and sure enough – birds don't shit in Hong Kong. Actually the paths are hygienic ally cleaned 4 times per day – it could almost be the most stress free job in the world keeping those paths clean. Some beautiful birds though.
The train ride up the peak was well worth the wait and amazing views from the top. Anna and Jalil walked back down but the elders waited in the queue again and amazingly found our way back to the hotel without difficulty. We all now have Octopus cards or is it Oyster – no that's London, so can tube cheaply.
The Ladies markets last night were a much noisier and smellier version of the Stanley markets. We ate Thai which was very good and great wonton soup and noodles for lunch today. The area around the markets was amazing – so much light and colour, it was like daylight in the streets.

Bakewell Tart
Originating in Bakewell, England, the Bakewell Tart has been adopted and welcomed into Irish homes and bakeries. It's not easy to make, but it's a humble and honest pudding – not too sweet, or gooey and the nuts keep the flavour grounded and the texture solid.
The idea behind blind-baking the pastry case and brushing it with egg is to ensure that the hard shell will hold the moist filling without absorbing it, thus avoiding what some chefs call the dreaded "soggy bottom."
This recipe is adapted from Noel McMeel's 'Irish Pantry' cook book featuring local producers.

- Add 2 tablespoons of the water to the mixture, and, using a cold knife, stir until the dough binds together, adding more cold water a teaspoon at a time if the mixture if too dry.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 15 minutes or up to 20 minutes.
- Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured board to 6 millimeters thick, then butter and line a 8-inch/20 centimeter deep tart tin with the pastry and prick the base all over with a fork.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Line the tart shell with parchment paper and fill with dried beans or pie weights.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the pastry is a pale golden colour.
- Remove the beans, lightly brush the inside of the pastry case with the egg white, and bake for a further 5 minutes, or until light golden brown.
Filling InstructionsBack To All Recipes
- For the filling, spread the raspberry preserve onto the base of the pastry shell and leave to cool.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until pale in colour, using an electric mixer on high speed.
- In a separate bowl, beat 3 of the eggs together with the yolk of the fourth egg.
- Add the egg mixture to the butter mixture a little at a time.
- Gently fold in the ground almonds and lemon zest.
- Pour the mixture into the cooled pastry shell and gently leave the surface to fill the whole tart evenly.
- Beat the egg white and brush the top of the pastry with it.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flaked almonds onto the surface and bake for a further 20 minutes, or until golden and set.


text: The traditional view of the food and drink industry has been to make a product, make it well and assume that people will find it and buy it. The big players had megabucks to spend on marketing via TV adverts and free samples in supermarkets. The rest of the industry tried to compete with them and sometimes a product made it through to prominence – but not very often.

en A Single Machine Sequencing Problem with Idle Insert: Simulated Annealing and Branch-and-Bound Methods Material Managment Material Managment پژوهشي Research
  In this paper, a single machine sequencing problem is considered in order to find the sequence of jobs minimizing the sum of the maximum earliness and tardiness with idle times (n/1/I/ETmax). Due to the time complexity function, this sequencing problem belongs to a class of NP-hard ones. Thus, a special design of a simulated annealing (SA) method is applied to solve such a hard problem. To compare the associated results, a branch-and-bound (B&B) method is designed and the upper/lower limits are also introduced in this method. To show the effectiveness of these methods, a number of different types of problems are generated and then solved. Based on the results of the test problems, the proposed SA has a small error, and computational time for achieving the best result is very small.

63 Sam's Clubs will be closed around the country, reducing the number of clubs from 660 units to 597. 12 of the impacted clubs will be converted to e-commerce fulfillment centers and the balance of the clubs will be closed in the next few weeks.
Suddenly management recognizes the transformation of its businesses and the need for a strong fleet of clubs that fit for future growth. While I already see an improvement in sales and earnings contribution under direction of new president and CEO of Sam's Club John Furner, it is obvious that some of the Clubs were not pulling their weight. Costco has steadily improved their e-commerce with strong reminders that their customers can shop on-line.
The first fulfillment center will be in Memphis, Tenn. Closure of clubs will occur quickly and associates who are affected will receive assistance and support, 60 days of pay and severance, if eligible.
Walmart will record a charge of about $0.14 per share in the fourth quarter of 2017 for the initiative.
I like the decisive action taken by management. It is evident that Sam's management is gearing up for stronger on-line promotions. It will also have the ability to deliver merchandise quickly and efficiently to their customers.

Venue Selection and why it Matters!
This article, written by AVEX's Mark Miller Jr. was originally posted at tcbmag.com in partnership with ILEA. Link to original article: http://tcbmag.com/news/articles/2018/july/venue-selection-and-why-it-matters-ilea-quick-tips-for-event-planners
What is a Venue?
Merriam Webster has this to say about the word "venue":
a: locale; also: a place where events of a specific type are held.
Seems pretty straightforward when you read it on paper. The issue (as always) lies within. All venues are different. Some venues have sleeping rooms, some can not. Others feature built-in technology, while others do not. So how do you know if the venue you are considering is the right one for your event? Unfortunately from a production standpoint, the answer isn't always clear. Luckily we've put together a quick checklist of things to consider when selecting a venue.
The most common issue I see planners encounter in terms of venue selection is size. Most, if not all venues, will have a diagram of their event space. When shopping for your venue, make sure to get a copy of the layout. Some facilities will even sketch out table placement for you to prove that your expected attendance will fit. This is a great way to get an idea of what sort of space you have to work with.
Now that you have your diagram and your table count, you're ready, right? Wrong! There are many additional components to an event that will eat up valuable floor space and constrain your attendance, including audio-visual production. Common items like screens, speakers, staging, stairs, and camera platforms all take up much-needed floor space and should be accounted for in your event design.
A CAD (computer aided drafting) program can be helpful in creating a detailed and accurate floor plan. Talk to your production vendor about building a floor plan in CAD, most vendors will have the tools and skills necessary to accomplish a detailed plan. Including production elements in your drawing will prevent overcrowding. Better yet, invite your AV vendor along to the site visit and have them assist with these tasks from the beginning!
All venues need to make money and the main thing that caps their revenue is time. After all, there are only so many Friday nights to host events!
The most common challenge we face as production vendors is inadequate setup time. Commonly, venues will give their clients the option of purchasing the event space the day prior for an additional fee. If you're hoping to save the money and attempt setup the day of your event, check with your vendor to ensure they have adequate time to set up.
Another important thing to consider when planning your event is scheduling your vendors. For example, ask yourself, "When are the tables being set?" and "When is the AV team loading in?" Connect your vendors to the venue and to each other directly. Speaking from personal experience, there's nothing more frustrating than preparing to rig AV equipment from the ceiling only to walk into a room full of tables already completely set, which ends up wasting valuable time. To paraphrase one of Jessica Barrett's points last month, everyone working on your event, is an extension of your team. As a team, we all need to be able to communicate together in order to work well together.
The guest experience is affected by many factors. The decor, the production, the pre-planning and coordination among vendors all contribute to a successful event. However, the most important factor to creating a positive guest experience is the people. When deciding on a venue, meet their staff and look for a couple of key things.
You want a venue that has experienced staff. It's like State Farm's TV commercials: "We know a thing or two, because we've seen a thing or two." You want people who have been there before. Choosing a venue with staff that understands production can help reduce your workload leading up to the event. It can also provide peace of mind, and let you focus on other aspects of the evening.
A spirit of collaboration is also important. No one event professional can do it all alone, they need partners. And it's not just about being "Minnesota Nice" either. Find a venue that allows multiple vendors to work at their space. This spirit of collaboration will, undoubtedly, foster better working relationships with other vendors and your production vendor will be eternally grateful.
Overall, it's important to get your production vendor involved early on in the process. Connect them with the venue as well as with your other vendors and treat them like a partner. Do that, and your event will go off without a hitch!
In closing, I should make a few things clear:
I'm not sharing my opinions on any specific venue. (Even though we partner with many, I did my best to give an unbiased opinion.)
This article aimed to highlight a few simple things to look for when selecting a venue, not to directly recommend which venue is the best for your next show.
This article, also, was deliberately not focused on hotels. I intended to speak broadly about all venues and their conduciveness to live event production.

For almost my entire life, the Celtics had been terrible. I came of age just as the Bird years were winding down (my memory of Bird is an old guy with a broken back, not the legend I've seen on tape) and had to endure the Rick Pitino years as my formative Celtics experience. The advent of the Big Three era not only got me back into the Celtics, but has since made the NBA my favorite sport to watch on TV.
What do we see in Rajon Rondo?
Like most people, I go back and forth on how I feel about Rondo, and what his future in Boston ought to be. This week, though, Kirk Goldsberry (whom I love!) has a great look at Rondo, his improvements in shooting, and where he might fit with the Celtics or another team going forward.
Ted Cruz continues to be a moron
Senator Cruz is a reason why most of America thinks the Republicans are morons. His tweet this week in regards to net neutrality affirmed my negative impression of him. This article makes a compelling case for why Republicans ought to support net neutrality (beyond everyone's universal hate for Comcast; seriously, how is no one running on a me vs. Comcast platform right now? Who wouldn't vote for that?). If you don't understand this issue, why Cruz is a dolt, then the Oatmeal has you covered.
Illegal spying is done locally, too!
Apparently the federal government is not the only group illegally spying on us. Slate has a profile of a technology called the Stingray, which allows local police to capture wireless communications. This technology is being used without a warrant and is unreliable enough that it's caught some innocent people in its wake. I understand the government's interest in technology, but the more we learn about what they're doing, I believe they have a radically different interpretation of the Constitution than I do.
Alex from Target's new life
I almost feel bad for #alexfromtarget. He's unwillingly been pulled into a global trend, and this article gives a glimpse of how his life has changed since becoming an Internet celebrity. I don't have a lot of sympathy for people who bring this kind of scrutiny on themselves, but can't help but feel bad for a kid who's life has been changed for reasons completely out of his control.
Christmas is cancelled in Maryland
Well, at least in the Montgomery County Public Schools. In the latest example of our politically correct, offend no-one culture gone wrong, all religious holidays are being removed from the school's calendar as simply being designated as days off. This is in response to a request by Islamic groups to have their holidays added to the calendar, as well. They're as upset with the response as everyone else - their intent was simply to add their holidays (and as the world's second-largest religion, I think that's fair).
