Synopsis:"Splice" follows the story of a young couple of scientists, Clive and Elsa, who are on the verge of reaching a breakthrough in their research. When their research is jeopardized, Elsa decides to risk something and mixes human DNA (her own) with that of what they've been researching, creating a creature they name Dren. The creature slowly learns human behavior, but as the events surrounding their work and their personal relationship start to unravel, Clive and Elsa learn that some experiences come at a high cost.
Vincenzo Natali's new film "Splice", comes after the promise he showed with "Cube" and "Cypher", both of which garnered praise and a cult following. So much that "Splice" comes with the name of Guillermo Del Toro attached. The film definitely owes much of it's unsettling feeling to David Cronenberg, who always installs in his films a barrier between the human and the creature that is always easily shattered (Sarah Polley coincidentally was in "eXistenZ"). The creature that Clive and Elsa nurture is the child they both want, but as she grows she's also part of the woman Elsa is. The events that follow show that the human pulsing and that of the creature are almost identical (where does the difference lie). The film has a faint resemblance to David Cronenberg's "The Fly", however where Seth Brundle ultimately embraced his condition as a new creature (and a new being), Dren is always shown as an outcast and an experiment. The fear that comes at the closure of the film, is simultaneously bitter and dark for a future where the uncertainty of humanity walks in hand with the greed of corporate interests. A good film worth checking out.

Opposites attract
Opposites attract:One of the most famous quotes of all time. No one knows where or whom it came from, but it relates to some people. Maybe this quote is just trying to prove that love conquers all…that differences between two people can never get in the way of their feelings for each other. Of course, there were some that disagreed to this quote. One of them was a particular Australian boy named Wallabee Beatles. Wally never believed that opposites attract. In fact, why would Wally believe in such a thing? His main opposite was every girl who ever existed. See, Wallywas a sexist. He hated girls and despised their ways. The last thing he ever wanted was to fall in love with one of them. Not that he wanted to be gay or anything. He just disliked "girly" things so much that he has dedicated his whole mind and body to repelling women. Unfortunately, things turned out the opposite and women came after him when they were supposed to hate him. Anyway,Wally lived his whole life believing that love would never victimize him...but oh was he wrong.
It's been three years since everyone in the gang had turned thirteen. Over the years, the closeness and bond between the Kids Next Door gang had not changed at all. Together, they all grew up and morphed into interesting teenagers. Nigel Uno was still the intelligent and hard-working leader of the group and he had grown to be an attractive young man. With the combination of his British accent, his army-style haircut and his red turtle neck sweater embracing his fit figure, he gave people the impression of a gentleman. Hoagie P. Gilligan Jr., who had grown slimmer over the years, was as nice and jolly as he had always been. Despite his corny jokes and lame punch lines, everyone still found himadorable. Sweet and jolly little Kuki Sanban had grown tall and lovely as she entered teen hood. With her charm and beauty, she attracted many, many suitors. Wallabee Beatles was still the typical Australian tough guy, but the former shorty of the gang had grown over the years. In fact, Wally had grown so tall, manly and muscular that he became the school heartthrob. Abigail Lincoln stayed angelic, cool and fashionable as she had always been and her attractive curves and looks charmed many guys. This was the former group of childhood friends who grew up to be a group of loyal teenage friends.

In our recently published eBook, detailing the key analytics and BI themes for the year ahead, one of the themes focused on the importance of businesses deciding what their strategy for BI is over the coming years.
Many organisations have a strategic decision to make around their analytics platforms and one they need to make sooner rather than later. Do they focus on a core platform with the solutions of a single vendor or do they go for a mashup of platforms and tools selecting the best in class for each component? Such components include distributed file storage, in-memory databases, ETL tools, OLAP engines, BI & visualisation tools and predictive tools.
There's no universal wrong or right answer. It's relative to each organisation and part of their overall IT and information strategy, which includes technologies, vendors, Cloud, open source software etc. Some organisations are taking the decision to use a number of different vendors and technologies for their analytic components, mashing up the best of breed. Other companies go for software from a single vendor, which offers pre-built integration.
It's a big decision that needs to be made soon, if not already. The technology is moving so fast that unless there is a strategy, the decision will probably be made for them. IT may decide to do nothing and stay with existing vendors, or business users will purchase multiple best of breed solutions directly off-the-shelf and implement them without the approval of IT.
Whatever the technology, businesses need to balance both enterprise BI and business self-service requirements, which will ultimately lead to a two-speed technology approach to satisfy the needs of those two groups (see our Bi-modal BI eBook below).
There are plenty of things to consider in terms of technology choices - far too many to list all of them in one post. Yet integration, as mentioned above, is a very critical one.
How do you develop a BI strategy?
The foundation of a BI strategy is that it must be business-led. The outputs of a strategy assessment must be focused on the business initiatives that need to be delivered and will bring value to the business. The technology options and choices to enable the delivery of the identified value comes second place in the assessment, but is still important. If the strategy is business value focused, it makes the investment case in a new strategic technology landscape a whole lot easier.

Ouray Ice Park Conditions 3/20/19
The OURAY ICE PARK IS OPEN!
updated 3/20/19
We opened on Saturday December 15th, 2018!
We are now in the last few weeks of our season and we still have good ice and climbable terrain open. Still open are the Schoolroom, The Trestle, The Kid's Wall, The Upper Bridge Area, and the Lead Only Area. Despite the avalanche conditions causing the closure of Highway 550 to the South of Ouray for those coming from the Durango area, Ouray is still relatively easy to get to from the North corridor and from where most of our travelers arrive from anyway. Ouray and the Ice Park are still open for business!
For many, when the Park is in as good conditions as it is in this March, this is the time to be here, for lots of reasons;
The Ice is still really fat and in good shape in the areas we have open!
There are not a lot of other people climbing in the Park. Last weekend our daily totals were around 50 people each day. With more than 50 climbs still open, our visitors had the pick of the litter all weekend long!
This time of the year the ice softens up and the climbing seems to get easier. We call it "hero" ice or "plastic". Grade V feels like Grade IV and it is time to set some ropes up on those routes you weren't quite so sure about earlier in the season.
Many of the days are warm and springy. No need to be in your big down jackets and lots of layers, enjoy the winter and the climbing without all the cold!
wHAT IS OPEN?
wHAT IS CLOSED?
Open Areas:
School Room
Upper Bridge
In Between the Bridges
Lead Only Area, Kid's Wall
Closed Areas:
Five Fingers
Stump Wall
Scottish Gullies
New Funtier
South Park
With mid March upon us, the Park will soon be wrapping up another banner season with 95 days open so far and if we can make it to our Target Closing Day, March 31st, which is looking promising, we'll be at 106 days!
No excuses here, what are you waiting for? Get your axe in gear!
Here's to winter!
THE OURAY ICE PARK Target Opening Day for the 2018/2019 Season is December 15th.

Lights, Camel, Action
7th December 2017
The lights were rigged, the camels were poised and the action commenced.
The judges were in their places and the contestants were lined up for an extraordinary evening of dance, song, acting and the Christmas Story. Robin class Angels performed a glittering ballet while the Funky Camels were certainly busting some moves!
The children certainly knew how to put on a show, not least as Line Dancers, Tango Stars, and Jivers.

Flying Hasselbad's & Mirrorless Nikons../
Two pretty exciting tech / gear announcements today and I'll defer to better sources for the details...
Nikon, has finally (finally!) released a reasonable competitor to the Sony full-frame mirrorless line of camera bodies with the announcement of the Nikon Z6 and Z7 bodies and their new Z-Mount mirrorless system.
A good rundown on it here:
I personally find that announcement to be exciting and interesting. I've gone back to shooting w/ a NIkon full-frame DSLR as of late ever since my Sony AR7rII was damaged by overspray in a commercial / industrial shoot.
Getting back on some f2.8 Nikon glass has been a refreshing change for me...
It's a little eye-rolling that we have yet-another-mount to pine after for our overpriced lens addiction but at least the Z-Series will have a F-Mount adaptor so you can bring your Nikon Glass to the party.
In drone news, DJI announced the release of the Mavik 2. It seems like the Phantom is increasingly taking the back seat to the Mavik. With this release, the Mavik 2 pro gets a 20 Megapixel Hasselblad camera w/ a 1" sensor. There is also a "Zoom" variant that... well, I guess it zooms and stuff. :)
Better coverage on that can be found here:
I'm also a big fan of the Mavik, tend to keep one within arms reach for most outings...

Three former high-ranking executives at Computer Associates are expected to be charged both criminally and civilly in connection with an investigation of accounting fraud at the Long Island company, The Post has learned.
One of those expected to be charged is former CEO Sanjay Kumar, according to a source familiar with the situation.
Former CA general counsel Steven Woghin is scheduled to enter a guilty plea today. Charges against the other executives, expected to included securities fraud, would follow at some point.
In addition, the beleaguered software giant is expected to cough up $225 million to settle charges it improperly booked sales, sources said.
The Islandia-based tech company is set to be arraigned at 10:00 a.m. in front of Judge Leo Glasser in Brooklyn federal court.
The charges, which include securities fraud, are to be filed by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The feds are expected to announce that Computer Associates has struck a deferred prosecution deal that enables it to escape criminal charges, as long as it continues to cooperate fully and clean up its operations, sources close to the case said.
Computer Associates booted Kumar altogether in June to end a federal investigation and fend off criminal charges. Kumar had been removed from the top spot in April, but stayed with the company as chief software architect.
The accounting scandal, which included backdating contracts to improperly book more than $2 billion in revenues, led to the restatement of $2.2 billion in revenue and the indictment of several former executives – including the firm's former chief financial officer – and the departure of Kumar.
Spokespeople for Computer Associates, the U.S, Attorney's Office and the SEC declined to comment.
Kumar's attorney, John P. Cooney of Davis Polk & Wardwell also declined to comment.
Prosecutors may get cooperation from the company as they try to recover some of the millions in compensation awarded to executives during the period in which the accounting irregularities took place, sources said.
Following the government's investigation, Computer Associates admitted to prematurely booking sales in 1999 and 2000 to hit revenue goals and trigger executive bonuses.
In August, CA shareholders rejected a plan to recoup bonuses paid to top executives during the company's massive accounting fraud.

After hitting a new low last week, the crypto market is slowly recovering, despite some minor drawbacks throughout these last few days.
Falling under the $190 billion price point, the total market cap hit this year's new low.
However, following the next few days, the number managed to reach $200 billion.
The coins were mostly in the green, but without any drastic changes in price.
Bitcoin (BTC) was struggling to stay close to the $6,500 mark while Ethereum (ETH) recovered from the price leap that was not seen for over a year and is currently standing above the $200 price point.
BTC lost in market dominance and its current rate of the total market capitalizations lies at around 55 percent.
Tim Draper, a venture capital investor, has optimistic predictions for the crypto market.
Draper, speaking at the PE-VC Summit in Singapore, compared this market to the internet in its early days, claiming that in the next 15 years the total market cap could reach up to $80 trillion.
According to him, these recent market slides are the result of people who are not familiar with cryptocurrencies, and once they adapt to it, many global industries would transform.
Europol Warns on Terrorist Cyberattacks Via the Dark Web
The terrorist organization Daesh could turn to launching cyberattacks, warns the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol).
Their annual report suggests that Daesh is possibly using the dark web to buy malware that would assist in these attacks.
With the terrorist organization losing many territories in the Middle East lately, it is plausible that they may turn to cyberattacks instead.
According to the report, Daesh-affiliated organizations have previously been the cause of many low-level cyberattacks.
Extremist networks are known to use the dark web, as well as encrypted messaging systems to communicate and recruit other members.
They usually purchase illicit malware with cryptocurrencies, as an easy way to go unseen on the internet. They also use digital assets to easily move funds across borders.
Suspect in Huazhu Data Breach Arrested
A suspect linked to the enormous hotel data breach targeting Huazhu Group Ltd., which occurred at the end of last month, has been arrested, Reuters reported this week.
The Chinese hotel chain was a subject of cybercrime, one that compromised the information of nearly 500 million customers that have stayed in their hotels.
The data was listed on the dark web for the price of 8 Bitcoins or approximately $50,000.
Chinese police detained the 30-year old suspect last Wednesday before he was able to complete the sale of the information from this data breach.
The stolen data consisted of registration and booking records, as well as personal information about Huazhu's guests.
As the investigation continues, the company has refused to reveal further information. After the data breach, Huazhu Group faced a 22 percent stock share drop.
The cyberattack is considered to be one of the largest recorded in history.
Illicit Mining Activity Increases by Almost 500 Percent
Cryptocurrency mining malware detections have increased by 459 percent over one year, shows a report [PDF] released by the Cyber Threat Alliance (CTA) this week.
The problem has taken a different turn, turning into a global issue with no intentions of slowing down.
While 2017 was characterized by the threat of ransomware, the main problem this year is cryptocurrency mining malware.
Hackers are able to illegally generate cryptocurrencies by exploiting Eternal Blue, a tool targeting Microsoft software allegedly leaked from the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) in 2017.
This sparked the rise of illicit mining activity. The leaked loophole has also been used in heavy cyberattacks, including the WannaCry and NotPetya malware outbreaks.
Around 85 percent of the total crypto malware mining detections were targeting Monero, one of the most preferred privacy coins.
U.S. Court Seized Millions in Crypto from Founder of AlphaBay
After more than a year, a U.S. district court concluded the civil forfeiture case to seize the assets of Alexandre Cazes, admin of the presently defunct darknet market AlphaBay.
In July 2017, Cazes was arrested in Thailand on several charges including drug trafficking, money laundering and fraud.
The alleged AlphaBay creator died by suicide shortly after the arrest.
His fortune was estimated to a net worth of $23 million, including real estate and expensive vehicles.
Over $8 million was in cryptocurrency, with 1,605.05 BTC, 8,309.27 ETH, 3,691.98 ZEC and a still unknown amount of Monero.
----------------That's it for our summary of this week's major crypto news headlines. This is the 12th post in our new crypto news series. See previous installments here:

Most web browsers come with a built-in password manager, a basic tool to save login data to a database and fill out forms and/or sign in to sites automatically using the information that is in the database.
Users who want more functionality rely on third-party password managers like LastPass, KeePass or Dashlane. These password managers add functionality, and may install as browser extensions or desktop programs.
A new version of the Firefox security extension NoScript was released today. NoScript 10.1.6.2 is the most recent WebExtensions version of NoScript.
The developer of NoScript maintains two different versions of the extension right now: NoScript 5.x, a legacy add-on for Firefox ESR and Firefox pre-57 versions, and NoScript 10.x, the WebExtensions version that is been released shortly after the release of Firefox 57.
Google removed Archive Poster from the Chrome Web Store the other day after reports emerged that the extension abused user devices to mine crypto-currency.
Archive Poster's main function improved Tumblr, a popular blogging site. It allowed users to run actions -- reblog, queue, draft or like -- from blog archives.
Archive Poster had more than 105,000 active users and a near perfect rating before Google pulled the extension from the official Chrome Web Store.
Registry Live Watch is a free portable program for Microsoft Windows devices. The primary purpose of the program is to monitor a Registry key for changes.
I stumbled upon the program on Major Geeks today. It is quite old; the release dates back to the year 2009. The fact that it has not been updated for years means that it is abandoned by its developer and that you should not expect updates for it.
Win32 programs have a lot of flexibility when it comes to the installation process. Programs may install in various directories, may write to the Registry, or run on system start without asking the user about it.
Most programs install in one of the "official" program folders. There is c:\Program Files\ for 64-bit applications, and c:\Program Files (x86)\ for 32-bit programs.
Mozilla released Firefox 57.0.3 on December 28, 2017. The update is for the Release channel of the Firefox web browser for all supported operating systems.
The release notes list a single issue that is fixed in the release:
Fix a crash reporting issue that inadvertently sends background tab crash reports to Mozilla without user opt-in.
Fix a crash reporting issue that inadvertently sends background tab crash reports to Mozilla without user opt-in.
The link to the bug leads to a protected page that users without proper permission cannot access. It appears that Firefox did send data about crashes to Mozilla even if users did not opt-in.
The Windows operating system comes with plenty of built-in tools to analyze resource usage. The most prominent one is probably the Windows Task Manager, as it highlights resource usage of individual processes, and gives admins and users options to kill any misbehaving ones.
The Performance Monitor and Resource Monitor are two additional tools that admins and experienced Windows users may use to analyze performance or resources related issues on Windows PCs.
Microsoft added a bunch of smaller features and improvements to the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.
One of the new features displays the GPU performance in the Task Manager provided that a compatible driver is installed.
You can launch the Windows Task Manager with the shortcut Ctrl-Shift-Esc. If this is the first time opening the Task Manager, you need to switch from the -- completely unusable -- default display mode to the full Task Manager by clicking on "more details".
AutoBootDisk is a free cross-platform program that you may use to copy Linux distributions to a bootable USB drive so that you can boot Linux from these devices right away.
Programs like UNetbootin, Universal USB Installer, or Rufus let you copy operating systems to USB Flash drives to boot from them. All support Linux, and some support Windows and other operating systems as well.
A recent security audit of the email client Thunderbird and the encryption extension Enigmail revealed unpatched security issues in the email program and in Enigmail.
The report has not been released yet as issues are not yet patched in the Thunderbird program. The researchers found 22 vulnerabilities in total in both programs; three of the vulnerabilities received a critical rating, five a rating of high.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Chip and hardware stocks ended higher Thursday, marking a three consecutive days of gains.
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index SOX, -0.05% rose 4.4 percent to 321.07 and the Goldman Sachs Hardware Index $GHA added 3.5 percent to 160.73.
Intel shares INTC, -0.86% gained 3.8 percent to $18.39. The world's largest chipmaker said it won't join other big companies that have agreed to expense employee stock options.
Corporations have been moving to treat stock options as an expense as executives look for ways to enhance the transparency of their financial reporting at a time when insecurity over accounting seems the norm.
Intel's decision draws a clearer line between technology companies, which rely heavily on options to attract employees, and non-tech companies. On Tuesday, the world's largest networking company, Cisco Systems, restated that it opposes expensing options. Also, the world's largest software company, Microsoft, opposes expensing options.
In a research report on Wednesday, Credit Suisse First Boston estimated that of a sample group of 41 chip companies, options outstanding account for 17 to 18 percent of their total shares issued on average.
CSFB analysts Tim Mahon and Michael Masdea pointed out that dilution of shares poses a real economic impact to shareholders, regardless of how companies account for them.
They said options as a percentage of total sales have more than doubled from 7.9 percent in 2000 to 18 percent in 2001. That was mainly due to an 18 percent increase in options outstanding vs. a 24 percent decline in sales.
The CSFB analysts said that as a group, communications chipmakers would be most affected by mandatory options expensing.
In other chip sector action, AMD AMD, +2.62% added 4 percent to $8.94 while Texas Instruments TXN, -0.26% added 5.1 percent to $20.49 and Motorola MOT gained 7.3 percent to $11.80.
In the hardware sector, shares of Palm PALM, +13.33% fell 16 percent to 82 cents, an all-time low, one day after the company learned its stock would be removed as a component of the S&P 500 Index. Research In Motion RIMM added 4 percent and Handspring HAND gained 5.7 percent.
PC stocks rose. Dell DELL, +0.76% gained 3.9 percent and IBM IBM, -0.50% added 3.5 percent. Gateway GTW reversed from early declines and added 4.1 percent; the boxmaker has gained 31 percent during the past 10 sessions with eight up days.

Over the past few decades Urologic and Plastic surgeons have experimented with and performed many procedures attempting to increase penis length, penis thickness and improve penis straightness. Many men are under the impression that penis enlargement surgery is relatively safe with excellent results. However, despite the many years and number of procedures performed the results have generally been poor.
The current assertion is that penis surgery has low success rates as well as high risk of injury. Even with advances over the past decade using injected drugs along with surgery has proven to have increased risks of failures and many lawsuits have been filed.
Low Likelihood of Improvement
In many cases after surgery the penis appears longer because the ligaments are cut and the penis hangs further out of the body depending on the individual's anatomy. In cases where there is penis length increases the results range from ½ inch to 2 inches with no concrete predictions as to the total gains from the surgery.
To get this gain the ligaments are cut and the penis looses stability and has difficulty maintaining a normal angle of erection. Too often the length of the penis actually decreases because of the subsequent scar tissue. Once surgery has been performed there are few future surgeries available to correct failures or help repair any future accidental damage.
Penis Surgery is Unsafe
There are currently no standardized penile surgical procedures. In fact, current penis surgery can still be considered experimental. The American Urological Association has indicated that current techniques of penis surgery are neither completely safe nor effective. There is no indication that the potential benefits are outweighed by the concerns and risks associated with penis enlargement surgery.
Here are some of the complications resulting from penile surgery:
- Edema or irritable swelling
- Ecchymosis or bruising
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Scarring causing shortening or curving
- Fibrosis causing loss of blood flow
- Loss of upward erections or penile stability
- Nerve injury resulting in loss of sensation or limpness.
- Erectile dysfunction
- Shorter penis. In many cases the penis is actually shortened as a result of surgery.
The cost of penis enlargement surgery in the United States can range from $3000 for minor procedures to $10000 for more complicated ones. Given the potential for serious negative complication and very little indication of any penis growth, men who are interested in getting a longer penis may want to think twice before choosing surgery as an option.
As with any elective surgery, serious consultation with at least two surgeons is recommended before making any decision. Be aware of clinics who will only talk about the potential gains in length and width but fail to accurately describe the potential risks involved. Surgery should only be performed as a final resort and in cases where other options for penis enlargement or penis extension are not possible.

It was so nice to have Tyler back in the kitchen with me yesterday!! It's been way to long.
He is an expert batter licker.
Still need to add the green hexies to this block.
And finish the white and green on this one.
I did at least get a few more bags of hexies worked up so the process should go a bit faster today.
I have decided today is my all about Nanny day, I am going to sit on my rump and work on hexies. After my play date with Tyler yesterday I need some down time and a few weeks of some NO SPEND days!! Tyler was not a cheap date!!
I picked him up early for some breakfast out then on to "Babies R Us" to buy a car seat cover for my car. I don't want to install all of the car seats until I have the covers down to protect the seats, the little ones are MESSY in the car!! Tyler sucked me into buying a few toys by telling me Mason man had no toys at all. Of course he does Tyler he has lots of nice things. Nope they are all my old toys and Karsyn's toys. OK, he really should have just a little something for himself. Tyler picked out a great car that the baby crawls behind to catch. Low and behold when we gave it to Mason last night he crawled for the first time!!!! Money well spent!!!
Tyler thought we should find something educational for the little girls while we were there because they are getting to be a little wild. HA, he is right about that! We got a puzzle each for them and some building blocks, he ask for nothing, just wanted to make sure the others had a prize, so sweet! On to "Toys R Us" to make his birthday wish list, holy cow!!! As we were working on his list he kept finding things the little ones should have. I explained to him we already have things for them it's his turn to pick out a prize. After 2 hours of looking around (my poor feet) he decided on a spiderman action figure, however we needed a bad guy action figure to go along with it so they could fight. Fine by me lets just get the heck out of here.
Time to eat again, he had McDonald's, yuk I had some crackers.
Next up was "Ice Age 3" with a giant popcorn along with apple juice from home. Before the movie started Tyler explained movie manners to me!! Seems his Papaw gets too loud at the movies so he wanted to make sure I knew the rules. Cute movie BTW
I needed to exchange sizes on some shoes I had bought for the little girls at Kholes, he then realized he too needed new shoes to start school this fall, however we would need to go to "Sketchers" to buy them. Never heard of that store, sounded expensive and it was :( Along with the new shoes from the dreaded mall we had our pizza, double yuk
Finished off the day with a double batch of chocolate chip cookies, some for here at home, his family, and Aunt Kelli's house. Maybe we should mail some to Aunt Amber as well!! So sweet.
I returned him at 8:30 PM........When I thanked him for going on a date with me he told me that wasn't a date. What was it then I ask? Just a Nanny and me day he said. "Married ladies don't go on dates Nanny, it's not a nice thing to do, you can't have a boyfriend if your married" I do believe this little guy is going to be one heck of a good hubby some day!!!!!

Benefits of Fingerprint Check In for your Gym
Gone are the days when we didn't have to worry about gym security. Today due to security reasons & many cases that have happened throughout the world, gyms have been told to go on high alert everywhere. Now in most of the gyms, only those people are allowed to enter who have its membership, not even guests are allowed to be entertained. There are some principles of every institute; same is the case with the gym. Gym also has a set of principles, which are necessary to maintain their security system. Card system for entering into the gym was an old system now. As the time passes, technology and ideas change. Now we have fingerprint system for entering into the gym. It saves the time of the member of the gym while entering. Moreover, it is authentic as compare to the card system. Here we are going to discuss some of its benefits.
The gym members want to save their time. The process of showing the card is now old-fashioned. The world is changing and the complexities of the world are becoming less day by day.Gym is an area in which people work out and maintain their health. The more you satisfy your members with your product and services, the more members will be gratified. The members, who are attracted by the policies of the gym, make other people also aware of it. The process of showing the card is now very lame. If one forgot his/her card, he could not enter. This is one the biggest flaw of the card system. The fingerprint check for the gym is one of the best ideas and a gym software worth installing. The security issues will be less in case of using fingerprint while entering the gym and more members will be contented with this facility. The people are now very social and they post all their daily activities to their social media accounts like Facebook. If they are contended with the facilities of the gym, they will make the other people aware of it too. That will increase the prosperity of your business related to gym. Many customers will be attracted towards it.
The cardless entry is much better than the card entry. The card entry is much more complex than the fingerprint system. Everyday life is so busy for everyone that members of the gym can forget their cards at home. As a result of it, they may start doing argue with the security persons of the gym to let them enter without the card. It makes a very bad environment in gym. This thing can happen twice or thrice in a week. The membership could be stolen or misplaced. Gym check in software makes the complexities of the gym less and makes the environment more friendly and peaceful. The card system wastes the precious time of the member and make the gym life more difficult for them. Fingerprint check system resolves the entry system issue and makes the security more stable.
The card system involves lot of frauds that make the gym environment very unpleasant. The modern technology of fingerprint check system makes the security more reliable. The security system is one of the main systems of any business and institution. As we know that the business of the gym revolve around the people entering into it on regular basis so we should give them flexibility while entering rather than creating issues for them. Fingerprint check system is the solution for this. It makes the security system more strong and reliable.
The fingerprint check system card makes the environment more peaceful. The fingerprint check system makes the less use of paper that is very beneficial to our environment. It makes the usage of wood less and stables the nature of the world.
The making of cards and the reissuing of the cards is one of the biggest difficulty for the gym system. The card system makes the gym security system more complicated. The fingerprint check system is very easy and saves many manual working. It not only makes the life convenient of members but also saves the cost of the gym so that gym could invest that money in some other ways.
The everyday life is getting easier by the fingerprint check system. It saves the precious time of the members. The gym environment is more peaceful with the fingerprint check system. This facility makes the members more contented and gratified. It also saves the cost of the gym.

By Rev. Dan Benson, Director at Alton L. Collins Retreat Center
Community has always been an integral part of my personal walk with God. It began in the context of the congregation where I was baptized as an infant. I was continually surrounded by people whom I first knew as instructors in faith, in time changed to become mentors, and eventually became colleagues in faith. Even my experiences of going on retreat were either in the context of going as part of a congregation or as a way of exploring with a different segment of my larger faith family.
As community has suffused my personal experiences in faith, so it is with the work of the whole of the Alton L. Collins Retreat Center. Community is part of who we are and what we strive to foster.
The community building begins long before the first guest arrives. It is in the care and planning of the event leaders. It is in the selection of the right space that will foster the right atmosphere for the group, and in arranging space to facilitate the flow of events. It is present in the communication of inviting people to participate and helping them prepare to arrive.
Community is built as people sit together around the table, passing food to one another as they talk. It is built in working together on a jigsaw puzzle or in conversation on the couches; And oddly enough, community is even supported by providing space for people to be alone for a while so that they can recharge and later connect more deeply and authentically when the opportunity arises.
I think one of the most telling ways that we demonstrate our care for community is through prayer. We invite our staff to hold each of the groups that we host in prayer. We let the leaders know this ahead of time and inform the participants of this at their first meal. We also invite people to place their joys and concerns in a prayer box and inform them that we will confidentially hold this in prayer. Having grown up in a community of faith and consistently participated in these communities throughout my adult life, I had not realized what a powerful element in community building this is. I had simply assumed that caring for one another and praying for one another is just what people did. But for individuals not part of such a community it can be surprising and powerful to entrust your inmost thoughts and feelings to others. Holding people in prayer builds connections of care and trust in truly amazing ways.
Today, we live in a world that lets us connect to more people and over greater distances than ever before. But those connections may be more superficial due to both the number of relationships and the limits of technology. We encourage people to take time away to form deep community, steady community, shaped by spending more time physically present with one another. If you feel like your life could do with a greater sense of connection to others and to God, look us up and go to www.gocamping.org to find many opportunities to be in community.
In peace and hope,
Rev. Dan Benson

Robert Clark Seger or Bob Seger is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and pianist. He was born on May 6th, 1945 at Detroit, Michigan, U.S. His father, being a medical technician for an automobile company, also had a fond love for music and he played a lot of instruments. Thus, inspired by his father's love for music, Seger got exposed to music from a tender age.
He was very successful artist around the Detroit area where he performed and recorded. He arrived on the music scene in the year 1961 with Decibels. In this band, Seger was on guitar, piano, keyboards, and vocals. Seger's first original track to be played on the radio was "The Lonely One". The Decibels got disbanded, and Seger joined the Town Criers, with him being on vocals.
When the Town Criers made more gigs, Bob Seger met a man named Doug Brown of The Omens band. Later, Seger joined Doug Brown and The Omens, who had bigger and better followers than the Town Criers. His first appearance post joining the Doug Brown and The Omens band was seen in the 1965 single "TGIF" and later "First Girl". Seger then wrote a song for the Underdogs called "East Side Story" which was an ultimate failure for the Underdogs. But he couldn't accept its failure, so he recorded himself and officially left The Omens. He then released his version of the 'East Side Story' as 'Bob Seger and The Last Heard' with Hideout Records in 1966, and it became his first ever biggest hit. Both the single and its instrumental version sold about 50,000 copies which made him sign a contract with Cameo-Parkway Records.
'The Last Heard' soon became Seger's permanent band. They later released four more singles in 1967. Of which, the single 'Heavy Music' sold more copies than 'East Side Story' and was potential to break out nationally, but by then their record company suddenly went out of business. It was a Top 100 Hit in Canada, and in the U.S it was in its 103rd. For several years to come, this song would always be a part of Seger's live act. After the Cameo-Parkway broke down, Seger began searching for a new label, and that is when they signed with Capitol Records by turning down Motown Records, even though the latter offered more money Bob Seger dropped it as he felt that Capitol was more appropriate. From 'Bob Seger and the Last Heard', Capitol changed the name of the band to 'The Bob Seger System'. This band then gave out singles like '2+2=?', "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man", 'Lucifer' but it didn't garner much success in the whole of United States.
In the year 1970, after the failure of Mongrel, the band had completely disappeared, and then Seger started to give out one man acts. With his failure with Brand New Morning, Seger had to depart from Capitol Records in 1972. With a lot of off-on appearances with singles, Seger formed The Silver Bullet Band in 1974. With many albums releasing with just limited success 'Katmandu' became a first national breakout track which was featured in the hit 1985 movie Mask which starred Cher. 'Old time rock and roll' one of Bob Seger's lyrics track was named as one of the Songs of the century and also The Eagles #1 hit song 'Heartache Tonight' was written by Seger.
From the year 1976-87, Seger was at the peak of success when he gave a commercial success with the album Night Moves. The title song was at #4 on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart. 'Rock and Roll Never Forgets' and 'Mainstreet' were other top-notch singles. The album Night Moves went on to sell about 6 million copies, and Live Bullet gets to become the ten best-selling live albums of all time.
Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for their contributions to the music industry. He got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and also was certified Gold (500,000 copies sold) for It's a Mystery. 'Face the promise' sold more than 400,000 copies initially and later sold 1.2 million copies making Seger earn the platinum status. He has been nominated for the Grammy's, Academy Awards, Golden Globes, MTV WMA's but he only won for Most Performed Songs from Motion Pictures in the year 1988 in ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards.

TV viewers and reviewers across the country were left "heartbroken" last night as millions of viewers tuned in to watch the first part of ITV drama Little Boy Blue .
The drama, which depicts the true story of the murder of Rhys Jones , included heartbreaking scenes showing the impact of the tragedy on Rhys's family.
Viewers throughout the UK took to social media during the moving scenes to give their thoughts on the programme - with many saying it left them devastated.
The Mirror reported that many found the harrowing story 'hard to watch' especially as Melanie wept in disbelief at her little son's death.
"Ripping my heart out," one viewer tweeted, while another picked out the scene where Steve, Rhys's dad, grasps hold of his son's pillow.
The Twitter user wrote: "That moment where his dad smelled Rhys's pillow has done for me. In bits. Painful but essential viewing."
The Daily Telegraph called the drama an "emotionally raw and powerful account of Rhys Jones's murder".
Reviewer Michael Hogan wrote: "It was sometimes hard to watch. When Rhys's mother Melanie (the excellent Sinéad Keenan) made a panicked dash through the crowd of onlookers to her son's side, her breathless journey was shot in real-time. Wobbly hand-held camera work transported the viewer right to the heart of the tragedy."
It added: "The real Joneses have been supportive of this series and are closely involved. It repaid them by being respectful. The script was less interested in the crime itself – glimpsed only on grainy CCTV footage – and more in its impact on the wider community amid a wave of gang violence.
"Many roles were played by first-time or untrained local actors, which gave it the grit of authenticity. This was emotionally raw, immersive intimate drama. That fact that it happened to be true made it all the more powerful."
Guardian TV reviewer Sam Wollaston said he was "in bits pretty much from the off."
He gave specific praise to Sinéad Keenan for her performance in the scene in which she is told she cannot touch her son's body because it is evidence.
The review adds: "It's an extraordinary scene and performance – an amazing portrait of the intensity of a mother's grief."
Meanwhile the Express and Daily star reported that many had found the first part of the series 'overwhelming'.
The Daily Star used tweets from viewers to show the nation's reaction, with one Twitter user writing: "Cried myself to sleep. Strong, honest and raw depiction.
Much respect to the Jones family in telling their story" while another wrote: "Horrific viewing Little Boy Blue last night, brilliant portrayal of a truly awful story."

Both trials are testing Xtandi in men with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer
Drugmakers Pfizer and Astellas Pharma said they would change protocols for two late-stage trials testing prostate cancer drug Xtandi to speed up completion.
The companies now expect the ARCHES trial to end late this year, ahead of the previously anticipated completion date of April 2020, and the EMBARK trial to complete by mid-2020, earlier than the prior goal of March 2021. Both trials are testing Xtandi in men with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.
Xtandi is already approved in the US to treat castration-resistant prostate cancer and brought Pfizer revenue of $171 million in the latest reported quarter.
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide and over 164,000 men in the United States are estimated to be newly diagnosed with the disease this year, according to the American Cancer Society.

WRTC Test Session 2017
- Details
In preparation for WRTC 2018, the second WRTC test day will take place from the 23rd to the 25th of June in Jessen and surrounding area. The focus will be on testing logistics and training the support teams. Radio operation and event reporting through social media will also take place during the tests. Nearly 100 volunteers are coming from all over Germany to build the fifteen stations.
Ham Radio Outlet - New Silver Sponsor of WRTC 2018
- Details
WRTC 2018 is pleased to announce that Ham Radio Outlet will support the World Radiosport Team Championship in Germany as a Silver Sponsor.
Ham Radio Outlet was founded in 1971 by Bob Ferrero, W6RJ (now sk). The succesful family owned business has 15 sales locations throughout the United States. Its formidable presence on the Internet making it the largest Ham Radio dealership in the world. Bob W6RJ, was one of the early commercial sponsors of the WRTC idea. Following this tradition his son Robert W6KR, has signed the sponsorship agreement to support WRTC 2018 in Germany as a Silver Sponsor.
Robert pointed out "We are very excited to help promote such a fantastic event for ham radio!"
Christian Janssen DL1MGB, president of the WRTC-2018 Organizing Committee, emphasized the importance of long term partners like Ham Radio Outlet : "The tradition of WRTCs started on the west coast of the USA. We are very grateful for the pioneering spirit of the ham community and ham radio suppliers. We will do our very best organizing the WRTC 2018 in Germany".
Christian presented the sponsors plaque during Hamvention in Dayton 2017 to Bob W6KR, and Robert W6RJ, who represent the third generation of Ham Radio Outlet.
Sponsored Teams: #4 YO3JR and #5 E73A selected
- Details
WRTC 2018 is delighted to announce the approval of the last two Sponsored Teams. The selection process was focused on radio sport skills (competitiveness), support of the WRTC principals and the contribution of technological improvements in radiosport. Numerous excellent applications reached the committee. We are sure the selected teams will play an important role in the 2018 championship and will fight for top places.
Team #4 is led by Andrei Ruse, YO3JR, from Romania. He pointed out that his existing interest in radio contesting was amplified following the WRTC event in 2000 in Slovenia. Only 26 years old Andy took part in WRTC 2006 in Brasilia and also came back for the WRTCs in Russia 2010 and USA 2014. He is an example of how the WRTC and ham radio in general have a huge impact on young hams in improving operating skills as well as their tactical and technical abilities. These are the main ingredients required in order to be considered a top contester.
Photo: Andy, YO3JR, before the opening of WRTC 2014 in New England
Team #5 is led by Ivo Pezer, E73A/9A3A. Ivo can be called an WRTC veteran. As a team leader he took part in three previous WRTCs in San Francisco 1996, Slovenia 2000 and Brazil 2006. He missed WRTC 2014 only because of a visa problem. Ivo's competitiveness is documented by outstanding contest scores resulting in an excellent qualification score in the very competitive EU#5 region. As an employee of the UN he has traveled to many countries, operating as a single op or part of multi op teams. Ivo plans to implement advanced SDR technology with the help of his announced team mate Ranko, 4O3A. This will again underline the impact of the WRTC movement on technological progress in ham radio contesting.
The selection of sponsored teams is now finished. WRTC 2018 has more excellent applications and every applicant would be an excellent team leader for the event. Unfortunately we are limited to only five sponsored teams.
The other sponsored teams are led by
- Tim, K3LR and Bud-AA3B/John-W2GD (as announced on 7th March)
- and Rick, N6XI (as announced on 17th January )
Meet WRTC 2018 in Visalia, Dayton or Friedrichshafen
- Details
(18th April of 2017) One of the main aspects of the World Radiosport Team Championship is to bring together hams for a big international event. The preparation is supported by numerous international ambassadors. Together with the members of the organizing committee, they spread the message of ham spirit and international friendship, which makes such a big event possible.
There are always many questions regarding WRTC in common and WRTC 2018 in Germany especially. The best way to get answers and the real feeling is to meet the organizers and ambassadors in person.

It's time to erase the Green Line
If the Israeli government makes no distinction between Palestinians on either side of the Green Line, there is no reason for human rights activists to do so.

Troubleshooting Techniques: Final Thoughts
"Led the team of people that solved the Tractor Beam escalation, which was costing the company $X per day in schedule slippage, and communicated progress to a wide variety of upper management personnel throughout the troubleshooting process."
Something like this speaks for itself and shows you to be a valuable commodity as someone who can save the day, setting you apart from the people you are being compared with for rewards. Demonstrating a knack for troubleshooting tends to help you develop a reputation. The more you are successful at it, the more often you will be asked to become involved in them.
While that does come with its pressures it also brings its rewards, the least of which is a strong statement to be able to make to your boss when it is time to pass out raises. It can lead to something more immediate too, like being first in line for personal equipment upgrades. Regardless, performing well under these kinds of circumstances demonstrates you to be a knowledgeable and dependable employee who truly defines grace under pressure.

The Oridium miners of Gavos used the droids for scouting mines and piloting shuttles. The droid was advanced enough to have personality and a degree of thought; as one such droid on Gavos remained unconvinced for the need of a Droid rebellion.

CASTRIES –– The St Lucia government today announced that it had launched an investigation into international media reports that a group of Cubans trying to sail to the United States had St Lucia tourist visas when they were intercepted at sea by the US Coast Guard.
A brief government statement said that an investigation has been launched into the matter "to determine how the alleged visas appeared in the passports of the Cuban nationals, since Cuban nationals do not require tourist visas to visit St Lucia".
"The government of Saint Lucia is in touch with the Cuban and American authorities on this matter," the statement said.
Over the weekend, the Associated Press reported that 38 Cuban migrants, who had been stuck in a legal limbo aboard a US Coast Guard ship after they were detained at sea, were being allowed to return to their homeland.
They were among nearly 100 detained by the Coast Guard in April and who would ordinarily have been quickly repatriated under an agreement between the United States and Cuba, intended to discourage risky sea journeys by people seeking to reach America.
But a US official said Cuban authorities had balked at accepting the 38 migrants, arguing they did not qualify as migrants who should be immediately repatriated because they had legally left their country and obtained tourist visas from St Lucia. The migrants were held on board the Coast Guard cutter Vigilant until the situation could be resolved.
A statement issued by the Cuban Interests Section in Washington said Cuba's government had notified America it would allow the migrants to return even though they did not qualify for repatriation under the terms of the 1995 agreement.
Meanwhile, the main opposition United Workers Party (UWP) is calling on the St Lucia government to explain how the Cubans were in possession of the visas.
"The UWP would like to find out who issued those visas to the Cubans; for what purpose were they issued; and for what period of time.
'It is vital that an urgent explanation is provided by government, so St Lucia, whose name was sullied by the ongoing Lambirds investigation involving allegations of human trafficking, can be cleared," said UWP communications manager Lionell Ellis.
Police are investigating how a group of Nepalese students were left stranded here after allegedly paying thousands of dollars to secure their education at the Lambirds School at Gros Islet, north of here.

Does any of your house room is not getting a natural light? Your living room might have few windows. Due to the dark appearance of your certain rooms or house, you may not like inviting guests to your house. You might be thinking what to do for fixing this issue?
To resolve the problem of dark look in your room or house use the magic of paint. For painting, you need to hire the professionals for the task. Get in touch with Cape Cod painters to get the quality work done at affordable rates. Following are some of the best paint color that can help you in this regard:
1-Yellow- For a Sunny Feel
Yellow is a bright color that gives a sunny feel to a dark area. It can easily lighten up space when accompanied by artificial lights and white accents. When doing so, you can easily make your room bright. Furthermore, yellow color paired with white accents and light wood details for add warmth to a cold space.
2-Warm-Toned Neutrals Work Well
The warm-toned neutrals will brighten up your dark room. It is better to choose medium tone color instead of darker colors. Keep one thing mind your room appear darker when there is not enough light to reflect off the color painted on your wall. So, for best results, pick colors that are saturated without black tone in their base. In a dark room, brighter colors are the best option.
3-Powder Blue- Bring Calmness
Next, on the list, we have powder blue color that can bring a level of calmness to every room. This color gives you a feeling of peace and brightens up the room that is darker due to the unavailability of the natural light. His color is ideal for the bathroom or the extra dark corner in your house. This is best to be used in interior so for interior painting services, always hire experienced companies for the best results.
4-Pink- Good to Go
Pink is another best option position when it comes to bringing light in the darker room. You can take this color to be used for the room of boy or girl or you can even keep it more neutral. If you are looking for something bold, then go for fuchsia to be used on an accent wall. Due to this, the ultra-bright shade will make a room smaller.
5-Lavender- Offers Versatility
Lavender works fine. It has a variety of shades that can fit well according to your preference. The warm tones of this color will help you to add brightness. The lavender impact will be changed due to the presence of accent colors and accessories in the room. If you are choosing this color for your bedroom, then couple it with gray, white furniture and accents. If selecting for your child room, then make it playful with pastels.
6-Bright Orange- For a Wild Look
If you are looking a bit wild look, then this color is for you. When you are planning to choose orange in the darkroom, then think of shades similar to apricot, tangerine, and pumpkin. These are some of the dark shades that work well in a dining room and dark kitchen. To get a sleek look you can pair this color with darker wood detail along with white and brown white accents.
7-Brown- For a Powerful Effect
When reading this color option, you might think that this not making sense. But if you are doing it right this can create a powerful effect within a room that is not having enough natural light. Don't paint all the walls brown, it will be too much. Pick one accent wall and keep the other elements light by having a pale floor and light furniture in the room. Painting is not a DIY task. If you are looking to get the painting from experts, then you have the option to hire local residential painters for painting.
8-Gray- Avoid Dark Grays
Gray or light grays can work perfectly to brighten up your dark room. Keep one thing in mind that avoid the use of dark grays because this will make your room cave-like.
These were some of the best paint colors that you can choose for your darkroom in the house. Keep one thing in mind, don't go for white color. It is usually believed that white will work fine because it reflects the natural light. In case, if you are having no natural light, then the white color will have nothing to reflect and this will make your room darker.
Looking for painters to paint your commercial property, then you can contact companies to hire commercial painting contractors for the painting job.

One common misuse of Stop signs is to arbitrarily interrupt traffic, either by causing it to stop or by causing such an inconvenience that motorists are forced to use other routes. Studies conducted in many parts of the country show that there is a high incidence of intentional violations where Stop signs are installed as "nuisances" or "speed breakers". These studies show that speed was only reduced in the immediate vicinity (about 100 to 150 feet) of the "nuisance" stop signs. But, speeds were actually higher between Stop signs than they would have been if these signs had not been installed. These same studies show that drivers increase their speed between unwarranted Stop signs to make up for lost time. Because of these studies and the increased speeds of drivers on streets with unwarranted Stop signs, the Michigan Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices clearly states that "Stop signs should not be used for speed control."
At the right place and under the right conditions, a Stop sign tells drivers and pedestrians who has the right of way. Nationally recognized standards have been established to determine when stop signs should be used. These standards, or "Warrants," are:
Before a Stop sign can be installed, a traffic study must be conducted to determine the prevalent speeds of vehicles, sight distance restriction between all approaching vehicles and analysis of crash data.
Prior to the application of these Stop sign Warrants, consideration should be given to less restrictive measures, such as a Yield sign.
Most drivers are reasonable and prudent, but, when confronted with unreasonable restrictions, they frequently violate them and develop a general contempt for all traffic controls - often with tragic results.

A 35-mile police chase takes an unexpected turn. The Pope dodges germs. An iconic rapper owns up to their past. These are the must-see videos of the week.
Kiss the ring ... or not
Worshippers around the world line up to meet Pope Francis. But, how do you appropriately greet the Bishop of Rome. Go for a hug? Shake hands? Or try to kiss his ring? Not so fast. Late-night comedians Trevor Noah and Jimmy Kimmel poke fun at the Pope for playing hard to get.
Let it snow
This California community is truly walking in a winter wonderland with homes buried in snowfall. Packed powder has stacked up to second story windows and frozen walls stand more than 10 feet tall. This may sound like a dream for those on the slopes but many residents are over it.
Coming in hot
Plot twist! A suspect is in custody after a helicopter crew landed to take him down. Typically, the highway patrol helicopter remains in the air to keep eyes on the suspect but after a 35-mile chase a flight officer jumped in to help.
Whole new level
What do a dinosaur, a cow and a group of babies have in common? Well, images of all three were seen on the Senate floor. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) used poster boards with these pictures to mock the Green New Deal. CNN's Anderson Cooper joked about the senator's political props.
Can't erase the past
Cardi B has addressed her past as a dancer with hit songs like "Bodak Yellow." Now, the rapper has opened up even more after a 3-year-old Instagram Live video resurfaced in which she said she had drugged and robbed men during her days as a stripper in the Bronx.

One of the most contentious parts of Brexit has been the discussion surrounding the so-called 'divorce bill'.
It is a complicated area that will be a key feature in discussion between EU and British negotiators over the coming months.
Since talks began a lot of numbers have been thrown around, ranging from as little as nothing to as much as €100bn.
But with no precedent in a nation leaving the EU, the final figure will have to be hammered out at the negotiating table in Brussels.
Why does Britain owe money?
As a member of the EU Britain has paid large sums of money towards projects such as road, rail and investment.
Some of the money stems from a pledge made by David Cameron when he was prime minister, committing to the EU budget until 2020.
The UK had also agreed to pay for other programmes between 2019 and 2025.
On top of this, Brussels wants Britain to ensure that pension costs towards officials and MEPs are covered, as well as other similar liabilities.
Howe much does the EU want?
The Brexit negotiating team are yet to confirm the number that they want.
But ardent Brexiteers, such as the Conservative backbencher Jacob Rees-Mogg, have suggested that Britain "owes nothing" to the EU.
The most recent figure to enter the headlines was €40bn, which was denied by Down Street.
But that figure looks the most likely outcome once talks have concluded, it isn't the €60-80bn that some EU nations have pushed towards, and isn't the zero figure that the like of Rees-Mogg have called for either.
When will an agreement be met?
However, time is not on the side of British officials, Article 50 was triggered more than five months ago. That leaves only around a year-and-a half until the country is due to leave the EU.
On the other side, Brussels has made it clear that until "sufficient progress" is made on the divorce settlement, the next stages of the negotiations may have to be put on hold.
This "progress" also applies to citizens' rights and Northern Ireland, meaning that the negotiations are set to enter their toughest period yet.
