Re-posted from The Den:
Not too long ago, someone downloaded the 3 billionth Add-on for Firefox. 3,000,000,000! That's a lot of add-ons (and a lot of zeros to type!)
These eight add-ons are the best of the best. They're the most used, and with good reason. Let's count down to number 1.
#8 – With over 1.9 million daily active users, DownThemAll kicks off our best-of-the-best list. It's the first and only download manager/accelerator built inside Firefox! It features an advanced accelerator that increases speed up to 4x and it allows you to pause and resume downloads at any time, and puts you in full control by customizing your download experience.
#7 – Earning just over 2 million daily active users, Personas Plus is next on our countdown. Personas are free, easy-to-install "themes" for Firefox. Personas Plus extends that built-in functionality to give you even greater control and easier access to new, popular, and even your own favorite Personas. Installing the add-on places a small "fox mask" icon in your status bar or add-on bar which, when you click on it, pops up a menu where you can select, change, or even randomize your Firefox Persona.
#6 – Just over 2.1 million users per day puts NoScript at number six on the list. This tool provides extra protection to your Firefox from security vulnerabilities. It allows JavaScript, Java and other executable content to run only from trusted domains of your choice, for example, your home-banking web site, helping guard you against certain types of attacks.
#5 – Next up, with over 2.2 million users per day, is Download Statusbar. View and manage downloads from a tidy statusbar – without the download window getting in the way of your web browsing. The fully customizable interface auto-hides when not in use, allowing full control without interruption.
#4 and #3 are favorites for the developer fans of Firefox. Greasemonkey and Firebug have over 2.8 million daily users and over 3 million daily users respectively. Greasemonkey lets you customize the way a web page displays or behaves, by using small bits of JavaScript. Firebug is a favorite because it lets you edit, debug, and monitor CSS, HTML and JavaScript live in any web page.
The #2 spot, the best of 3 billion add-ons runner up, is Video DownloadHelper. DownloadHelper is a tool for web content extraction. Its purpose is to capture video and image files from many sites. Just surf the web as you are used to, when DownloadHelper detects it can do something for you, the icon gets animated and a menu allows you to download files by simply clicking an item.
We'd like to offer up a special congratulations to the #1 most-used Add-on, with over 13.5 million daily users (and more than 166 million total downloads), and that award goes to Adblock Plus. Firefox fans love it because it gives them control of how they view the web. One reviewer explains "Adblock Plus is one of the reasons I use Firefox, both mobile and desktop!"
And there you have it – the most-popular Firefox Add-ons. (Read more about the 3 billionth Add-on download and see an infographic here.) As Firefox heads for 4 billion add-ons downloaded, will new favorites bubble to the top? Start downloading your favorite Add-on to help it move to the leaderboard – find one here.

Robbie and Watches
Reviews and photos from beautiful timepieces
Welcome to Robbie & Watches. when I started this project my idea was to learn about watches in general but I ended up falling for photography and horology, not a bad combination. Please ask me any questions about any watch (not only the ones featured here) I will try do my best to help. I hope you enjoy this site as much as I do.
Why watches?
What fascinates you? For me, it's watches and photography (mostly watches), that feeling of taking an incredible picture of a truly unique object brings me great satisfaction.
I have seen many watch blogs and I am sure that almost all of them have a different view on the watch industry, here is my position:
I love all kinds of watches, people seem fixated with Pateks, AP, Vacherons . One day I hope to have the privilege to review incredible brands like these but it wouldn't make me love watches more than I do now, this blog is not to show off how much I spend on watches or what is a good/bad watch, this site is about what an average Joe thinks about a mid range/high end pieces and hopefully take a beautiful photo of it. I hope you can relate and enjoy this little project.
P.S: all pictures are my own

* Voici la reproduction du texte trouvé sur MailOnline.
Leaked emails have allegedly proved that the White House gave the green light to a chemical weapons attack in Syria that could be blamed on Assad's regime and in turn, spur international military action in the devastated country.
A report released on Monday contains an email exchange between two senior officials at British-based contractor Britam Defence where a scheme 'approved by Washington' is outlined explaining that Qatar would fund rebel forces in Syria to use chemical weapons.
Barack Obama made it clear to Syrian president Bashar al-Assad last month that the U.S. would not tolerate Syria using chemical weapons against its own people.
According to Infowars.com, the December 25 email was sent from Britam's Business Development Director David Goulding to company founder Philip Doughty.
It reads: 'Phil... We've got a new offer. It's about Syria again. Qataris propose an attractive deal and swear that the idea is approved by Washington.
'We'll have to deliver a CW to Homs, a Soviet origin g-shell from Libya similar to those that Assad should have.
'They want us to deploy our Ukrainian personnel that should speak Russian and make a video record.
'Frankly, I don't think it's a good idea but the sums proposed are enormous. Your opinion?
'Kind regards, David.'
Britam Defence had not yet returned a request for comment to MailOnline.
The emails were released by a Malaysian hacker who also obtained senior executives resumés and copies of passports via an unprotected company server, according to Cyber War News.
Dave Goulding's Linkedin profile lists him as Business Development Director at Britam Defence Ltd in Security and Investigations. A business networking profile for Phil Doughty lists him as Chief Operationg Officer for Britam, United Arab Emirates, Security and Investigations.
The U.S. State Department had not returned a request for comment on the alleged emails to MailOnline today at time of publication.
However the use of chemical warfare was raised at a press briefing in D.C. on January 28.
A spokesman said that the U.S. joined the international community in 'setting common redlines about the consequences of using chemical weapons'.
A leaked U.S. government cable revealed that the Syrian army more than likely had used chemical weapons during an attack in the city of Homs in December.
The document, revealed in The Cable, revealed the findings of an investigation by Scott Frederic Kilner, the U.S. consul general in Istanbul, into accusations that the Syrian army used chemical weapons in the December 23 attack.
An Obama administration official who had access to the document was reported as saying: 'We can't definitely say 100 per cent, but Syrian contacts made a compelling case that Agent 15 was used in Homs on Dec. 23.'
Mr Kilner's investigation included interviews with civilians, doctors, and rebels present during the attack, as well as the former general and head of the Syrian WMD program, Mustafa al-Sheikh.
Dr. Nashwan Abu Abdo, a neurologist in Homs, is certain chemical weapons were used. He told The Cable: 'It was a chemical weapon, we are sure of that, because tear gas can't cause the death of people.'
Eye witness accounts from the investigation revealed that a tank launched chemical weapons and caused people exposed to them to suffer nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, delirium, seizures, and respiratory distress.
The symptoms suggest that the weaponized compound Agent-15 was responsible. Syria denied using chemical weapons and said it would never use them against citizens.
Speaking to Pentagon reporters at the time, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said his biggest concern was how the U.S. and allies would secure the chemical and biological weapons sites scattered across Syria and ensure the components don't end up in the wrong hands if the regime falls, particularly under violent conditions.
Government forces and rebels in Syria have both been accused by human rights groups of carrying out brutal warfare in the 22-month-old conflict, which has claimed more than 60,000 lives.

If your mare has made it through 11 months of pregnancy, you're almost home free. Labor and delivery, while momentous, are generally uneventful. In most cases, you will simply need to be a quiet observer – if, that is, you are lucky enough to witness the birth. Mares seem to prefer to foal at night in privacy, and apparently have some control over their delivery. Because most mares foal without difficulty, it is usually best to allow the mare to foal undisturbed and unassisted.
What you can do, however, is prepare your mare for a safe and successful delivery.
Follow these suggestions from the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) to help the new mother and baby get off to a great start:
- Program your veterinarian's number in your phone well in advance of the birth.
- Keep a watch or clock on hand so you can time each stage of labor. When you're worried or anxious, your perception of time becomes distorted. The watch will help you keep accurate track of the mare's progress during labor.
- Wrap the mare's tail with a clean wrap when you observe the first stage of labor. Be sure that the wrap is not applied too tightly or left on too long, as it can cut off circulation and permanently damage the tail.
- Wash the mare's vulva and hindquarters with a mild soap and rinse thoroughly.
- Clean and disinfect the stall area as thoroughly as possible and provide adequate bedding.
- Consider using test strips that measure calcium in mammary secretions to help predict when the mare will foal. Sudden increases in calcium are associated with imminent foaling.
- If a mare is taking longer than 30 minutes to deliver the foal, call your veterinarian immediately.
For more information on labor and delivery and postpartum care for the mare and foal, ask your equine veterinarian. Additional information can be found on www.aaep.org/.

As reported by the Star, the Government has agreed in principle to drop the word "college" from the country's six public university colleges.
In April, public university colleges had asked for the word "college" to be dropped from their names because of perceptions that they were inferior to universities. The six university colleges are Kolej Universiti Kejuruteraan dan Teknologi, Kolej Universiti Kejuruteraan Utara Malaysia, Kolej Universiti Sains dan Teknologi Malaysia, Kolej Universiti Islam Malaysia, Kolej Universiti Teknikal Kebangsaan Malaysia and Kolej Universiti Teknologi Tun Hussein Onn.Our Minister of Higher Education even argued that "[t]here is no difference between a public university or a public university college."
"In fact, both establishments are of the same standard. When students apply for entry, they use the same qualifications, be it STPM or matriculation results," he added.In a separate report, the rectors of the various university colleges echoed the Minister's statements.
Kolej Universiti Sains dan Teknologi Malaysia (Kustem) rector Prof Datuk Dr Sulaiman Md Yassin said the move would help shed the notion that public university colleges were inferior.Err... with all due respect to the Tok Pa, the standards of our universities are not determined by the fact that STPM or matriculation qualifications are used by all students for entry into our local public universities and university colleges. The standards are determined by the results attained by the students accepted into these institutions. All things equal, if a student with the grades of D,E,E can be accepted into one of the university colleges but rejected by the universities, then the former may be regarded as inferior, despite measuring the students on the same STPM qualifications!
"The change will boost the institutions' image and help people realise that these public university colleges are no different from public universities," he said.
There is clearly an over-emphasis of form over substance here, in the assumption that by dropping the "college" from the institution's name, it would "help shed the notion that public university colleges were inferior". Some top institutions in the world name themselves a "School" and I'll enrol into them without batting an eyelid. It's really not the name that counts. It's going to be the substantive quality of the institution that matters.
Soon every polytechnic in the country will be upgraded to university status as it would "help shed the notion that public [polytechnics] were inferior". And for that matter, maybe community colleges should be upgraded at some stage too after that.
If you ask me, I say, drop the "university" from the "university college" to better reflect the actual circumstances until such a time whereby they are able to prove the academic research and teaching quality becoming of a full-fledge university. And it'll save the average standards of our public universities from falling further.

NEWS 170221 about RaspEX for Raspberry Pi 3 and Pi 2
I have upgraded the whole system and replaced the old kernel 4.4.21 with "my own" compiled kernel 4.4.49-exton-v7+. RaspEX Build 170221 is a Linux ARM system for Raspberry Pi 3 and Pi 2. It is based on Debian Jessie (Debian 8.7), Ubuntu Yakkety Yak (Ubuntu 16.10, released 161013) and Linaro (Open Source software for ARM SoCs). In this new version (170221) I've installed Wicd Network Manager and replaced Chromium with Firefox with better support for YouTube. I have also installed Samba and VNC4Server so you can connect to your Windows computers in your Home Network and/or control RaspEX on your Raspberry Pi 3 or Pi 2 from your Windows computers with VNC Viewer and/or PuTTY (Telnet and SSH client). Furthermore some extra Network Tools, Midori Private Browser, SMTube (YouTube browser which allows to browse, search and play YouTube videos) and PulseAudio for better sound in YouTube. Study all installed packages in RaspEX Build 170221.
Raspberry Pi 3: How much better is it than the Raspberry Pi 2? Raspberry Pi 3 is performing 10 times faster than that of the Pi 1 and around 50 percent better than that of the Pi 2 according to testers.
Why shall I use RaspEX?
Eight Operating Systems are recommended by Raspberrypi.org. Among them Noobs, Raspbian (Debian Jessie) and Snappy Ubuntu Core. RaspEX is faster ("fast as lightning"), more useful and more fun to use. (In my opinion). One member at this site thought that running RaspEX (for Raspberry Pi 2) was like running Raspberry Pi on "steroids". RaspEX Build 170221 and 160703 (with OpenCPN) are (of course) even faster, especially if you run the systems on a Raspberry Pi 3 computer.
Compatibility :: February 2017
Unfortunately not all systems made for Raspberry Pi 2 will run on the new Pi 3. They need to be upgraded with a new kernel. I therefore have to upgrade the systems I distribute. I.e. RaspEX, RaspEX with OpenCPN, RaspAnd Lollipop, RaspAnd Marshmallow, RaspAnd Nougat and RaspArch. I have now (170221) upgraded all systems. Read about the new Raspberry Pi 3…

For the week ending 22 July 2006 / 26 Tammuz 5766
"There are four types of students: Quick to grasp and quick to forget – his gain is surpassed by his loss. Slow to grasp and slow to forget – his loss is surpassed by his gain. Quick to grasp and quick to forget – his is a poor lot". — (Avot 5:12)
One who is quick to grasp and quick to forget should review his studies many, many times if he wishes to accomplish something in his learning. He must always bear in mind what our Sages (Masechta Chagigah 9b) tell us about the significance of reviewing even one more time:
"There is no comparison between one who reviews his studies one hundred times and one who reviews them one hundred and one times".
- Tiferet Yisrael

Candy Flower
Since watching the premiere episode of Sarah 101 via HGTV Canada on Tuesday night I can't stop thinking about the bright and bold floral print fabric Sarah and Tommy used as their jumping off point. It reminded me of the Candy Flower area rug from designer Marni through The Rug Company which I absolutely love… it too would work as a great starting point for a room.
Lovely, right? Happy Weekend friends!
Photo credits: Candy Flower via the The Rug Company, Houzz, room inspiration via the Rug Company and Carrie's apartment from the Sex in the City 'the movie'.
p.s. Interesting how Sarah's predominately pink colour palette for the vibrant living room is right on trend given Pantone named Honeysuckle as the 'it' colour for 2011. Then again, I wouldn't expect anything less from this dynamic duo team. I still can't get over how they pulled the everything together, particularly; the chandelier, the side chests and the baroque mirror. The individual pieces didn't do anything for me so the reveal had me pleasantly surprised. Loved the show and I'm hooked for the rest of the series!

There I sat, alone and afraid,
You got a call and came right to my aid.
You bundled me up with blankets and love,
And, when I needed it most, you gave me a hug.
I learned that the world was not all that scary and cold,
That sometimes there is someone to have and to hold.
You taught me what love is, you helped me to mend,
You loved me and healed me and became my first friend.
And just when I thought you'd done all you do,
There came along not one new lesson, but two.
First you said, "Sweetheart, you're ready to go,
I've done all I can, and you've learned all I know."
Then you bundled me up with a blanket and kiss,
Along came a new family, they even have kids!
They took me to their home, forever to stay,
At first I thought you sent me away.
Then that second lesson became perfectly clear,
No matter how far, you will always be near.
And so, Foster Mom, you know I've moved on,
I have a new home, with toys and a lawn.
But I'll never forget what I learned that first day,
You never really give your fosters away.
You gave me these thoughts to remember you by,
We may never meet again, and now I know why.
You'll remember I lived with you for a time,
I may not be yours, but you'll always be mine.

An endodontist is a dentist who has received two years of advanced training in endodontic procedures and has limited their practice to performing only endodontic procedures. Dentists will regularly refer patients needing endodontic procedures to an endodontist because of their experience in dealing with both routine and difficult endodontic procedures. Endodontists are also experts in diagnosing the cause of oral and facial pain.
Most patients report that they are comfortable during endodontic treatment. After treatment the tooth may be sensitive and you may experience slight discomfort. However, we will give you post-op instructions regarding your root canal and which medications will relieve this pain. If you experience severe pain or pain that lasts longer than a few days contact our office.
After the procedure you need to avoid chewing or biting with the treated tooth until you have seen your dentist to have a crown or other restoration placed on the tooth. Until this is done the unrestored tooth will be susceptible to fracture. Once the tooth has been restored you need only practice proper oral hygiene and the tooth should last as long as any natural tooth.
Often times, endodontic treatment may require two appointments. This, however, can not be determined until after the procedure is started. If a second appointment is needed, we will then schedule one for you. Please be advised that the cost quoted for your root canal is the same regardless of the number of appointments necessary.
For some patients considering retreatment, endodontic surgery is also an option. This surgery involves making an incision near the end of the root to allow the tip of the root to be sealed. Endodontic surgery may be recommended in conjunction with retreatment or as an alternative. Your endodontist will discuss your options and recommend appropriate treatment.
The only other alternative is extraction of the tooth. The extracted tooth must then be replaced with an implant, bridge, or removable partial denture to restore chewing function and to prevent adjacent teeth from shifting. Because these alternatives require surgery or dental procedures on adjacent healthy teeth, they can be far more costly and time consuming than retreatment and restoration of the natural tooth.
No matter how effective modern tooth replacements are - and they can be very effective - nothing is as good as a natural tooth. You've already made an investment in saving your tooth. The pay-off for choosing endodontic surgery could be a healthy, functioning natural tooth for many years to come.
After most endodontic treatment, you should expect to be able to drive yourself home. If previous arrangements have been made for sedation, then assistance for transportation is necessary.
The cost varies depending on how complicated the procedure will be. The procedure will probably be more complex than your first root canal treatment, because your restoration and filling material may need to be removed to accomplish the new procedure. In addition, your endodontist may need to spend extra time searching for unusual canal anatomy. Therefore, you can generally expect retreatment to cost more than the initial endodontic treatment.
While dental insurance may cover part or all of the cost for retreatment, some policies limit coverage to a single procedure on a tooth in a given period of time. Check with your employer or insurance company prior to treatment to be sure of your coverage.
Each insurance plan is different. Check with your employer or insurance company prior to treatment.
There are many misconceptions surrounding root canal (endodontic) treatment. As always, when considering any medical procedure, you should get as much information as you can about all of your options. Your dentist or endodontist can answer many of your questions, and if you still have concerns, it is often wise to seek a second opinion.
Myth #1 - Root canal treatment is painful
Truth: Root canal treatment doesn't cause pain, it relieves it.
Most patients see their dentist or endodontist when they have a severe toothache. The toothache can be caused by damaged tissues in the tooth. Root canal treatment removes this damaged tissue from the tooth, thereby relieving the pain you feel.
The perception of root canals being painful began decades ago when root canal treatment was painful. But with the latest technologies and anesthetics, root canal treatment today is no more uncomfortable than having a filling placed. In fact, a recent survey showed that patients who have experienced root canal treatment are six times more likely to describe it as "painless" than patients who have not had root canal treatment.
Myth #2 - A good alternative to root canal treatment is extraction (pulling the tooth)
Truth: Saving your natural teeth, if possible, is the very best option.
Nothing can completely replace your natural tooth. An artificial tooth can sometimes cause you to avoid certain foods. Keeping your own teeth is important so that you can continue to enjoy the wide variety of foods necessary to maintain the proper nutrient balance in your diet.
Endodontic treatment, along with appropriate restoration, is a cost-effective way to treat teeth with damaged pulp and is usually less expensive than extraction and placement of a bridge or an implant.
Endodontic treatment also has a very high success rate. Most root canal treated teeth last a lifetime.
Millions of healthy endodontically treated teeth serve patients all over the world, years and years after treatment. Those healthy teeth are helping patients chew efficiently, maintain the natural appearance of their smiles and enhance their enjoyment of life. Through endodontic treatment, endodontists and dentists worldwide enable patients to keep their natural teeth for a lifetime.

Title: The Blue Book
Author: Andrew Barbour
Publisher: AuthorHouse
Pages: 776
Genre: Science Fiction
Format: Ebook
The Blue Book; The Ultimate Project is the Terrestrial Non Human Project to introduce us to their existence alongside us on this Planet. With unique photographs of interaction between a variety of Craft, also including arrivals and departures. It's time to know!
ORDER INFORMATION The Blue Book is available for purchase at
The Extra Terrestrial Disclosure Project
The Beginning of the Extra Terrestrial Disclosure Project was in 1979, when I witnessed my first anomalous object. It was a long dark cylindrical shape that disappeared into a cloud a fraction of it's length, being only 10 years old and no concecpt of these matters accepted it was there and I
simply said 'Hello'. It took 32 years to realise I had been heared that day, a simple act that I found influenced the course of my life, and eventually led to the assembly of The Blue Book; The Ultimate Project.
At the age of 15 I encountered religion and decided if there was a God there must be a Devil, so in my naivety words were said that changed everything. Something heared those words and a tall humanoid shape in silhouette appeared next to my bed. What happened next I can only describe as being scanned. A band of energy worked its way from my feet to my head then blackness.
This set the stage for the next 25 years, finding my way through forms of Christianity and Satanism. Both unconventionally practiced before finally enbarking on an equally unconventional Shamanic Path as a balancing point between the two extremes of Faith. By the end of this period I knew we were not the only beings on this Planet. But it still felt like I was waiting for something that was yet to come.
Then in 2011 I wtnessed a silver squat ciger shaped object hanging low enough that it appeared to be in the gap between two houses, the only visible features being two black bands around the object near the tapered end and what appeared to be a long silver rectangular box of set from the
central line near the wider end of the object. For several months after this I had the feeling that what I was looking for was on its way. I searched the internet for a specific but unknown image, I knew I would know it when i found it. But I found it is hard to find a photograph that had not been taken.
The photograph that I was searching for was taken on 6th October 2013 @0821 and is the first of a series of 6 images that begin The Introduction. The photographs appear to show initially a static object that leaves the area whilst changing shape and apparently followed by a second larger object
in the clouds at near the top right corner of the 6th image. Nothing was physically seen and the photographs were taken on a repeated impulse, the 1st impulse was ignored and then repeated with an added sense of urgency. The incident was reported to a UK based organisation within two hours
of the photographs being taken, and a journal was started.
Five days later on the 11th October 2013 there was a incident that was totally unexpected. I encountered the resistance to this disclosure project that raised two issues. The first being the unexpected validation of the photographs, to be threatened to keep quiet about what had happened, at
this point nobody knew about the photographs except the UK based organisation. The second being the issue of telepathic or empathic communication, utilising mental imagery to convay in this case specifically a threat that was most unwelcome. This aspect was reinforced on the 15th October when a second incident occured, but this was the polar opposite to the previous encounter and left me feeling reassured and not as isolated, combined both these incidents served to bring the aspect of what appeared to happening into a stark reality. The months leading up to March 2014 gave me the opportunity to come to terms with what I appeared to be experiencing, my past was relived and the understanding of why I had lived my life the way that I had, all the spirtual encounters I had on both sides and every forgotten UFO sighting. Intense is an understatement and I frequently doubted my sanity.
Then at the start of March 2014 decisions had been reached and took the next series of photographs that make up the remainder of The Introduction. Pages 7-17 appear to show two anomalous objects that appear to move up the images, with the larger anomaly moving back down. Pages 18-20 a single amomaly dissapearing into the cloud cover. Finally pages 21 and 22 a single large anomaly appearing between the roof and the 1st tree. Nothing was seen visually in any area.
Then came the 8th March, abruptly woken with an overwhelming thought and sensation that I was late I immediately went to the window and started taking photographs. These photographs begin The Bigger Picture and appear to show movement of a large number of anomalous objects through the cloud cover around the area of the tv ariel primarily until page 8, where a single anomaly appears to move up to the right hand corner of the image. The following two images appear to show an attempt at interfering with the photographs being taken,the first being successful but the second only partially. This appears to show formations of much larger objects in the areas of the tv ariels, it must be mentioned that the apparent image dislocation is only in these areas, the roofs and chimneys are unaffected by any dislocation despited the lined distortion that is evident. This was the start of a very hectic day, with a variety of anomalies appearing at random and one anomaly appearing in the area for a large extent of the day. The pace at which this is all viewed is variable, the faster the pace the easier to see, once the location of the anomalies has been ascertained. To The Point is more single anomaly orientated with a different sized and shaped anomaly that appears on the left for most of this section. Then from page 195 appears to take a position between two forms that could easily be reflections on the window that viewed at a certain pace appear to interact with the smaller anomaly attempting to draw attention to this interaction.
Finally The Finale, following the same impulse to take the photographs I felt compelled to change location from which the photographs were being taken, to focus on a view from the rear of the house and outside and not through a window. This resulted in a series of images that appear to show bird like forms that were not physically visible apparently leaving the area. Then on page 11 a white anomalous object appears next to the chimney on the right of the image.

LeBron: I'm coming back to Cleveland
Before anyone ever cared where I would play basketball, I was a kid from Northeast Ohio. It's where I walked. It's where I ran. It's where I cried. It's where I bled. It holds a special place in my heart. People there have seen me grow up. I sometimes feel like I'm their son. Their passion can be overwhelming. But it drives me. I want to give them hope when I can. I want to inspire them when I can. My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball. I didn't realize that four years ago. I do now.
Remember when I was sitting up there at the Boys & Girls Club in 2010? I was thinking, This is really tough. I could feel it. I was leaving something I had spent a long time creating. If I had to do it all over again, I'd obviously do things differently, but I'd still have left. Miami, for me, has been almost like college for other kids. These past four years helped raise me into who I am. I became a better player and a better man. I learned from a franchise that had been where I wanted to go. I will always think of Miami as my second home. Without the experiences I had there, I wouldn't be able to do what I'm doing today.
I went to Miami because of D-Wade and CB. We made sacrifices to keep UD. I loved becoming a big bro to Rio. I believed we could do something magical if we came together. And that's exactly what we did! The hardest thing to leave is what I built with those guys. I've talked to some of them and will talk to others. Nothing will ever change what we accomplished. We are brothers for life. I also want to thank Micky Arison and Pat Riley for giving me an amazing four years.
I'm doing this essay because I want an opportunity to explain myself uninterrupted. I don't want anyone thinking: He and Erik Spoelstra didn't get along. … He and Riles didn't get along. … The Heat couldn't put the right team together. That's absolutely not true.
I'm not having a press conference or a party. After this, it's time to get to work.
When I left Cleveland, I was on a mission. I was seeking championships, and we won two. But Miami already knew that feeling. Our city hasn't had that feeling in a long, long, long time. My goal is still to win as many titles as possible, no question. But what's most important for me is bringing one trophy back to Northeast Ohio.
I always believed that I'd return to Cleveland and finish my career there. I just didn't know when. After the season, free agency wasn't even a thought. But I have two boys and my wife, Savannah, is pregnant with a girl. I started thinking about what it would be like to raise my family in my hometown. I looked at other teams, but I wasn't going to leave Miami for anywhere except Cleveland. The more time passed, the more it felt right. This is what makes me happy.
To make the move I needed the support of my wife and my mom, who can be very tough. The letter from Dan Gilbert, the booing of the Cleveland fans, the jerseys being burned -- seeing all that was hard for them. My emotions were more mixed. It was easy to say, "OK, I don't want to deal with these people ever again." But then you think about the other side. What if I were a kid who looked up to an athlete, and that athlete made me want to do better in my own life, and then he left? How would I react? I've met with Dan, face-to-face, man-to-man. We've talked it out. Everybody makes mistakes. I've made mistakes as well. Who am I to hold a grudge?
Complete SI.com coverage of LeBron's return to the Cavaliers
I'm not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We're not ready right now. No way. Of course, I want to win next year, but I'm realistic. It will be a long process, much longer than it was in 2010. My patience will get tested. I know that. I'm going into a situation with a young team and a new coach. I will be the old head. But I get a thrill out of bringing a group together and helping them reach a place they didn't know they could go. I see myself as a mentor now and I'm excited to lead some of these talented young guys. I think I can help Kyrie Irving become one of the best point guards in our league. I think I can help elevate Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters. And I can't wait to reunite with Anderson Varejao, one of my favorite teammates.
But this is not about the roster or the organization. I feel my calling here goes above basketball. I have a responsibility to lead, in more ways than one, and I take that very seriously. My presence can make a difference in Miami, but I think it can mean more where I'm from. I want kids in Northeast Ohio, like the hundreds of Akron third-graders I sponsor through my foundation, to realize that there's no better place to grow up. Maybe some of them will come home after college and start a family or open a business. That would make me smile. Our community, which has struggled so much, needs all the talent it can get.
In Northeast Ohio, nothing is given. Everything is earned. You work for what you have.
I'm ready to accept the challenge. I'm coming home.

1. Is steam helpful in pet stain removal?
Pet urine contains some toxic chemical compounds that generate toxic gases after some time. When the pet's urine is absorbed by the foam of the mattress, the germs increase, and odour becomes intolerable. Steam cleaning is perfect for such harmful stains because the heat destroys the bacteria and reduces the risk of infections.
2. Should I get the mattress steam cleaned in the winter season?
Steam never soaks the mattress with moisture. The mattress can be dried easily after the steam cleaning process. So, you can book the service in the winter season without any hesitation.
3. After how many months should I book the mattress steam cleaning Peachester services?
You should book the service according to the condition of the mattress. If it gets too dirty within a few months, then you can book the service after every 3-4 months. You can even book the service just twice a year if the mattress does not get dirty easily.
4. Can I schedule the booking weekend?
Yes, our team works 7 days a week so that our clients don't face any inconvenience because of dirty mattresses.

I got an email today, a bit sad that the bot I made to comment on Tower Bridge's state had disappeared.
I wasn't aware it had disappeared.
So I checked Twitter, and sure enough: @towerbridge
is now owned by an "official" account. They joined Twitter on the 18th May this year. I'm not going to comment on the quality or usefulness of the account to date.
What I am going to comment on: the bot has disappeared. All those tweets are gone, basically. So there's no history any more of bridge lists. There's no instrumentation of a part of the city. A little bit of the heartbeat of London – for me, and the nearly 4000 other people who followed the bot – has disappeared.
Now, I use an old email address that I check rarely for that account – but I've not been contacted once about this issue. The account has just been gazumped, and a little, talking part of the city has been killed.
I'm about to get in contact with Twitter the second I've posted this. I'm more than a little furious; after all, all the URLs that link to it are now incorrect, all the lifts, all the (puppet-mastered) banter is gone. Cool URLs don't change, and these have just gone. And in their place: marketing.
I've never pretended to be an official account; I've never dissimulated; no-one from the exhibition has ever got in touch with me about the bot.
So, for the time being: this is why the bot has disappeared. I'm very, very cross, and perhaps a little upset; the robots are our friends, after all.

Google glasses this, Oculus rift that, CastAR… With all these new vision devices coming out, the world of augmented reality is fast becoming, well, a reality!
Here's a really cool concept [Ryan Smith] came up for 3D printing. Using [Jeri Ellsworth's] CastAR, [Ryan Smith] has created a really cool technical illusion to demonstrate visual prototyping on his Makerbot. Using a laser cutter he's perforated the front plastic panel of the Makerbot, which allows a semi-transparent overlay that when you use the CastAR's projector it gives you a holographic visual effect.
The glasses track the reference object (in this case, the gear) and then project interfacing gears in an animation over-top of the existing part. [Ryan] sees this as the next step in 3D printing for artists and makers because it can help give you a 3D preview of your part, for example if you're not fully sure what scale you want it to print at, you could actually put a mating object, or your hand, behind the screen and visually see the interface!
[Thanks Spacedog!]

I remember so clearly the first time I ever heard the expression, "c'est termine."
It was delivered by a very bored young French woman (<--okay, I know, redundant) who was conducting our conversational seminar.
The class came to an end and she simply said, "c'est termine."
I was shocked and rather insulted. It seemed so final, so harsh, so lacking in gentleness-- so very French in its directness. But, as it turns out, I was a wee bit too sensitive to the word origin as in French, it simply means, we're done.
Or, it's over.
Which is where we are with this blog. I have moved on to other scribbling pastures and will not be returning here. The site belongs to Dave, the husband formerly known as T, so there's no telling how long this url will be viable.
I've said it before, but I could say it again every day for the rest of my life and it would never lose it's resonance for me: you guys are the best. You have brought SO much into my life. I am forever grateful and eternally inspired by the magical connections that can grow between like-minded spirits.
I wish you every good thing. And then some--
Gros bisous, E got 2 cents?

There are so many small details involved in the final purchase of a home that it can be easy to lose track of the things that need to be done. While you won't be able to forget about a home inspection, a pest inspection can be every bit as important before you sign on the dotted line. If you're wondering why you shouldn't forego this important step, consider the following information.
The Final Offer
Few people want to deal with problems, especially when it comes to their dream home. But the entire purpose of a pest inspection is to ensure you know about these problems before you sign on the dotted line. If pest issues are discovered, you'll still have some decisions to make as to how you want to proceed. You can push the problem back to the homeowner to deal with, or buy the home knowing about the pest issue and use it to negotiate a lower price.
Insurance May Not Help
Homeowner's insurance will cover your home and belongings in the event of a natural disaster, fire or flood. And in some cases, your policy will cover damage due to pests. However, much of the rot and other damage that pests cause occurs over a long period of time. In these cases, your insurer may not cover the damage, or you may be on the hook for a significant deductible. In any case, your policy may require that you get an inspection when you purchase the home so be sure to check with your insurer.
Feeling Home At Home
Much like experiencing a burglary, discovering a pest problem in your home can be an unsettling experience. Unfortunately, if you've just moved into your new home, it can be even more difficult to get comfortable if you think pests are crawling around. It's important to schedule a pest inspection so you can be sure there are no impediments to enjoying your new home. Yes, it's one more cost involved before the deal is sealed, but the money spent will be well worth your comfort.
These are just three of the many reasons to invest in a professional pest inspection when buying a new home. It's a small price to pay to ensure that your home is free of damage-causing pests. If you're currently getting ready to invest in a new home, contact your trusted mortgage professional for the inside scoop.

Individuals who make death threats start with less egregious behavior and systematically test the boundaries of the communities in which they exist. When they get away with small violations, they often move on to larger ones. They watch what others are able to get away with, too. The pattern of behavior is common among abusers. If you're an abuse survivor, you know this implicitly.
The open source community consistently condones the type of behavior that can escalate to death threats. The "free as in freedom" philosophy has created a haven for privileged individuals to act without accountability. Harassment, discrimination and exclusion of women, queer and trans people, racial minorities and other individuals from marginalized groups are commonplace. This is not okay. Not only is it morally wrong to exclude people in this manner, but communities thrive on diversity and stagnate without it. Open source is no different, and we have largely been failing to address this issue.
If you're not actively working to make your community welcoming to a diverse set of individuals, you are part of the problem. If you are a white, straight cis man and you look around at your community and the majority of what you see are straight, white, cis men, then you are part of the problem. If your project or community does not have a code of conduct and you are not actively providing meaningful enforcement of those standards, then you are part of the problem. If you are not holding your technical leaders accountable for their behavior that is harming the community, then you are part of the problem.
We can no longer operate under the fantasy that maintaining healthy open source communities is solely a matter of technical skill or competence. As Matthew Garrett recently stated:
No matter how technically competent a community leader is, no matter how much code review they perform or how much mentorship they provide, if they're expressing unacceptable social opinions then they're diminishing the community. People I know and respect have left technical communities simply because people in positions of responsibility have engaged in this kind of behaviour without it causing them any problems.
Want to lessen the number of death threats that women (and others) in open source receive? Adopt a strong code of conduct and enforce it. Do not allow misogynist, sexist, racist, homophobic, etc. comments or behavior, no matter how trivial they feel to you. Don't ask people like me to explain to you ad nauseam why a fellow community member saying "we don't want you around" is a threat. Don't argue when we say that a co-worker who advocates against universal marriage is advocating legislative violence. Instead, hold those who make these statements accountable.
In other words, reducing and eliminating death threats in the open source community starts with being intolerant of microagressions.

Animate any Elements on scroll using the popular AOS JS library simply by adding class names.
This plugin helps you integrate easily with AOS JS library to add any AOS animations (on scroll animation) to WordPress.
It should work well with the native gutenberg core blocks or any page builder (tested with GenerateBlocks and Elementor) that provides an input field for adding custom class names to elements.
About AOS
AOS is a small JavaScript library built by Michał Sajnóg that allows you to add animated effects to HTML elements when they come into view as the user scrolls down a webpage. AOS provides a set of predefined animations using CSS that can be easily applied to elements using simple data attributes in the HTML code.
Check out the AOS demo and documentation.
How to add Animations?
Simply add the desired AOS animation to your element class name with "aos-" prefix and the plugin will add the corresponding aos attribute to the element tag.
Fade animations:
- fade: aos-fade
- fade-up: aos-fade-up
- fade-down: aos-fade-down
- fade-left: aos-fade-left
- fade-right: aos-fade-right
- fade-up-right: aos-fade-up-right
- fade-up-left: aos-fade-up-left
- fade-down-right: aos-fade-down-right
- fade-down-left: : aos-fade-down-left
Flip animations:
- flip-up: aos-flip-up
- flip-down: aos-flip-down
- flip-left: aos-flip-left
- flip-right: aos-flip-right
Slide animations:
- slide-up: aos-slide-up
- slide-down: aos-slide-down
- slide-left: aos-slide-left
- slide-right: aos-slide-right
Zoom animations:
- zoom-in: aos-zoom-in
- zoom-in-up: aos-zoom-in-up
- zoom-in-down: aos-zoom-in-down
- zoom-in-left: aos-zoom-in-left
- zoom-in-right: aos-zoom-in-right
- zoom-out: aos-zoom-out
- zoom-out-up: aos-zoom-out-up
- zoom-out-down: aos-zoom-out-down
- zoom-out-left: aos-zoom-out-left
- zoom-out-right: aos-zoom-out-right
Animation Settings
By default, the global animation settings are
- offset: -100
- duration: 1100
- easing: ease
- delay: 0
- once: true
you can change that using filter:
add_filter( 'aos_init', function($aos_init) {
return '
var aoswp_params = {
"once": false};
} );
or add the extra classes below to the element for individual settings. The plugin will add the corresponding aos attribute to the tag.
Once behavior:
- once=true: aos-once-true
- once=false: aos-once-false
Easing functions:
- linear: aos-easing-linear
- ease: aos-easing-ease
- ease-in: aos-easing-ease-in
- ease-out: aos-easing-ease-out

To Disable Animations On Specific Device
- To disable animations on certain elements on devices larger than 767px, simply add
class name to the element tag
- To disable animations on certain elements on devices smaller than 766px, simply add
class name to the element tag
To disable animations site-wide / per page basis on specific devices:
add this lines to your css files:@media (
your media query
) {html:not(.no-js) .aoswp-enabled [data-aos] { opacity: 1!important; -webkit-transform: none!important; transform: none!important; transition: none!important; transition-timing-function: unset!important; transition-duration: unset!important; transition-property: none!important; }
- Both AOS JavaScript and CSS will only be loaded if there is '
' in the page's html. So this plugin will not add bloat to pages that do not use/need the AOS animations.
- Although the AOS library is already lightweight, the CSS and JS in this plugin are delay-able, so it won't hurt your site's performance at all. (You can use Optimize More! to delay the CSS and JS)
This plugin doesn't add anything to your database and won't do any permanent change to your HTML, so you can safely deactivate and delete it when you no longer need it.
- Optimize More! – A DIY WordPress Page Speed Optimization Pack. Features:
- Load CSS Asynchronously – selectively load CSS file(s) asynchronously on selected post/page types.

S5: A Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System
S5 is a slide show format based entirely on XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript. With one file, you can run a complete slide show and have a printer-friendly version as well. The markup used for the slides is very simple, highly semantic, and completely accessible. Anyone with even a smidgen of familiarity with HTML or XHTML can look at the markup and figure out how to adapt it to their particular needs. Anyone familiar with CSS can create their own slide show theme. It's totally simple, and it's totally standards-driven.
If you'd like to see S5 in action, go ahead and run through the introductory slide show (also available as a 186KB ZIP archive, the size of which is due to the presence of several images in the slide show). Feel free to try any of the features. For example, you can hit the space bar to advance to the next slide. Or use the right arrow, the down arrow, hit Return... any of these will work. The other features will be explained in, or else demonstrated by, the slide show itself.
If you like the general idea of S5 but don't like the theme used for the introductory slide show, then fear not: there are already a number of themes available, and you can of course always create your own.
If you have a hankerin' to know more about how this system works, exactly, we have a few resources that might help.
- A Basic Primer in Using S5 — pretty much what it sounds like.
- S5 Reference — a full reference describing what markup is required, what is recommended, and what is optional in an S5 presentation file.
- Minimal S5 Structure — a guide to the absolute bare minimum markup used in an S5 slide file.
- S5 File Map — explains what files are where, and what each one does.
- S5 FAQ — it may not answer all your questions, but it will answer the common ones. The uncommon ones you'll have to send in.
Please also visit the thanks and acknowledgments page, which lists the people who helped improve S5 beyond what I ever could have done myself.

Earlier this week, I offered some advice about choosing character names and avoiding common naming pitfalls. While most of the suggestions in those posts apply to all parts of a name, I wrote them with first names in mind. Today I promised to talk about specific issues related to last names.
So here's where I admit that I have no real advice on this topic. I hate coming up with last names, and I find that in most cases, characters don't need them, so I only give surnames when it's absolutely necessary.
For the first novel I ever wrote, which I spent several years on, I had a database of character information that included -- I kid you not -- where the protagonist's friends' parents went to college, even though that never came up in the story in any way. I never gave the main character a last name.
My recently completed novel is about a family. I did choose a last name for them right from the start, and fortunately, that took care of a whole bunch of characters at once. There's one other family in the novel with a last name, and a doctor appears briefly and is referred to only by title and last name. That's the extent of the surnames. One character who marries into the family doesn't take her husband's name, and that's a fact I know in my head, but I never worked out what her last name is.
I don't have a good reason for my aversion to last names. They might be slightly harder to choose than first names due to carrying more cultural information, but they also have somewhat less "must feel right for the character" pressure, so it probably comes out about even. Certainly it's fine, and even advisable, that the majority of my characters don't have last names, but I shouldn't be so intimidated.
This is what I do know about last names:
→ Research is a good idea. Last names, even more than first names, are tied to ethnicity and potentially a great many other familial background factors. I've picked surnames imagining that they signified one culture, then later learned that I got it completely wrong because I didn't bother looking anything up.
I also had a weird (though kind of cool) thing happen once when I essentially made up a last name by putting together some syllables that sounded plausible. This was for one of my early NaNoWriMo novels, and at the time, I had the whole thing posted on my web site. A stranger emailed me, excited because he searched for his extremely rare last name and found my site, and he wanted to know if there was any family connection (it wasn't apparent to him that the name was in a story). While he was tickled by my explanation that I had fabricated the name, I did think that in the future it would be worthwhile to search and verify that any name I use isn't practically unique.
I don't have a single go-to internet source for last names. My method tends to be that I think up or find a name somewhere and then do a search to learn more about it. But like I said, it's not something I've dealt with very often.
I'd be thrilled to know your resources or strategies for identifying and researching names. One reader has already pointed me to a great character name generator that asks you to input ethnicity and birth decade before spitting out a random first and last name matching the criteria (plus a detailed personality profile).
→ Last names can overload the reader. If some readers have a tendency to not fully absorb first names, you can bet that even more of them are skipping past last names. I get irritated by books that keep giving me new characters with both first and last names, because I know I'm going to have enough trouble remembering one name per person, let alone two.
In most stories, most characters don't need last names. I gather it's more of a convention to introduce every character by full name in some genres, such as mysteries and thrillers, and maybe if I read more in those genres, I'd be more tolerant of the phenomenon. But I'm perfectly happy not learning a character's last name unless it's going to be necessary, for the purposes of logistics or realism, to have the narration or a character use it. The reason I was able to write multiple drafts of my first novel and never know the main character's last name is that throughout all his many plotless adventures, it just never became story-relevant.
That said, if you are going to use a major character's last name, it's good to introduce it sometime early in the story even if it's not important until later. I recently read a book and was totally jarred when halfway through, the protagonist's last name appeared, and I realized I hadn't seen it before then.
I already know that my new novel is going to require quite a few last names, so please, share any advice you have. And I still haven't made a lot of progress on even the first names, so wish me luck!
Good Stuff Out There:

Fin Placement
Adjustable Fin Boxes
Removable fin systems are constantly evolving and we are in a golden age of experimentation and creativity. We're glad to see surfboard fin companies getting in on the act and pushing the boundaries of surfing to produce stronger, lighter, and better performing fin systems. Most of us all know the two largest and most commonly used fin companies in the world, Futures and FCS. They are great companies who make awesome products, but in this article SurfScience brings to your attention the work of two lesser knows fin companies changing the game.
LOKBOX is a San Clemente, California based company that understands the way to a surfer's heart is through his wallet. We don't have money to buy new boards every two months, but we can change our fin set-up to produce an entirely different feel to our surfboards. We also don't want our fix boxes easily damaged, costing us money for repairs.
"The main feature that set us apart from our competitors is adjustability," says Casey Blank of LOKBOX. "You have a half inch of adjustability forward and back. In most cases, you can produce totally different performance characteristics simply by moving the back fin an eighth of an inch. We give you that flexibility."
The second thing that LOKBOX offers is a way to help prevent damage to the fin box should you have a run in with a surfer, reef, or pillar.
"The fin lock that holds the fin in place is actually designed to bend upon serious impact so your fin will most likely dislodge or come out of the board," Kasey Curtis explains. "This happens so your box or entire tail doesn't break. Stuff does break, it happens. This feature helps to prevent your board from getting damaged."
LOKBOX also boasts a couple of cool ideas designed to strengthen the fin system and improve performance. This includes a tapered cavity (where the fins is placed) and the fact that the LOKBOX system is installed before the glass job. Casey expands on the tapered fit.
"Another key feature is that it is a wedged fin. The main idea behind it is to have a fin system with no loose or wobbly fins once you seat it in there. You don't want to be able to move the fin because you want the flex of the fin to be as true as possible."
4 Way Fin System
This fin company is serious about adjustability to your fin set-up. They have a fully patented fin system design that allows for fin adjustments to "all angles of attack". This includes toe-in and toe-out, cant and lateral adjustment. Never before have you been able to address so many different performance characteristics without buying a new surfboard!
You want a more maneuverable board? No problem. Simply move the center fin a tad more toward the nose. Not enough? Move the side fins back toward the tail to create a closer fin cluster. If those solutions don't work don't forget to increase the outer cant of your side fins and then increase the toe-in! Whew, we're tired, but can you imagine the possibilities?
4 Way Fin System engineered this system to not only help you personalize your set-up, but also to help prevent major damage to your surfboard from strong impact to the fins. The fin is seated in a removable "interdisc" that dictates fin positioning and placement. This is very similar to some snowboard bindings. The fin system is designed to allow this interdisc to either fracture or break off on severe side impact. The result, according to the company's website, is a reduction to fin box and board damage by up to 80%. Under severe frontal impact, fins snap out of the disc interface without damage to either the box or board. This is great news for anyone on a surf trip. Just make sure to bring a travel repair kit that has replacement interdiscs.
Surfboard fins are the engine under your hood. Shouldn't you get your hands dirty and tune-up that engine? Both LOKBOX and 4 Way Fin System understand that surfboard fin position can and should be adjusted outside of shaping bays. The ability to adjust fin positioning, toe-in, and cant gives riders the option to use their surfboards in a variety of surf conditions with numerous performance characteristics. With these two fin systems your next surfboard may be the only one you ever need. We can't think of a better innovation to help us maximize our equipment's use, so talk to your shaper about his thoughts on fin systems. You both may learn a lot.

From Dungeons and Dragons Wiki

The character's hit points are reduced to –10, his Constitution drops to 0, or he is killed outright by a spell or effect. The character's soul leaves his body. Dead characters cannot benefit from normal or magical healing, but they can be restored to life via magic. A dead body decays normally unless magically preserved, but magic that restores a dead character to life also restores the body either to full health or to its condition at the time of death (depending on the spell or device). Either way, resurrected characters need not worry about rigor mortis, decomposition, and other conditions that affect dead bodies.

Yamaha & Pianos at Music Academies & Public Buildings
Academy of Music, Pinerolo, Italy
Supporting artistic and musical training
The Pinerolo Academy of Music is located in the Northern Italian city of Turin and is a leading educational establishment specialising in the provision of excellent artistic and musical training.
The academy is very proud of its reputation for helping students to enter professional careers in the field of international arts. In addition to providing a vibrant and popular music curriculum, the academy also plays host to an international piano competition and a wide-ranging, highly popular year-long musical season. As with many other worldclass establishments, Pinerolo has enjoyed a fruitful and creative partnership with Yamaha pianos, which play a high profile part in its musical life.
Laura Richaud, Professor and Artistic Director of the academy, is very enthusiastic about her Yamaha pianos:
"The Academy of Music in Pinerolo has always really enjoyed Yamaha Pianos. They produce such a wide range of sound and dynamics throughout the entire tonal range. They display a superb balance between bass and treble across the keyboard and provide our teachers and students with inspiration. We very much appreciate the support of Yamaha in our busy music calendar."
Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo and Korskirken Church in Bergen, Norway
Yamaha Pianos playing a central role in Norway
Another excellent examples of Yamaha pianos being selected by leading institutions are the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo and Korskirken Church in Bergen.
The Norwegian Academy of Music has chosen Yamaha to be its key piano provider thanks to Yamaha's reputation for producing solid and reliable instruments that will withstand constant and rigorous practice and performance schedules. The Academy has a large inventory of grand pianos from C2 up to C7 models, these are complemented by U1 and U3 uprights which continue to set the standard for pianos in an educational setting. For Korskirken Church in Bergen Yamaha was the only choice, they installed a Yamaha CF111S concert grand piano thanks to its exceptional tonal qualities and ability to fully project sound throughout the church . As well as being a house of worship the church has a busy concert schedule in which the CF111S plays a central role.

I can't seem to find much information regarding the acceptability of mixing digital and ink signatures.
For example, if a Requirements Specification must be signed by the vendor and the client, and the vendor initiates it using a digital signature, is it acceptable for the client (who doesn't have the same digital signature software) to hand-sign a printed copy of the digitally-signed document?
If anyone may please advise, I would appreciate it greatly.

Epiphany again, something that happens a lot with this student. Not a martial epiphany or even a teaching epipheny, a regular old epiphany.
Why does it seem that the best martial arts instructors don't teach for money?
Read that sentance. Re-read it. Then point out, in detail, how the sentance itself is designed to mislead to a forgone conclusion. (Homework).
It's an old debate in certain circles. Everyone knows an amazing instructor who teaches out of his garage for little or no money. Everyone has been exposed to the glitzy schools that will sign you, if they can, to a contract totalling thousands of dollars that guarantees you a black belt whether you attend class or not.
From these common examples, they conclude that business sense is incompatible with "true" martial instruction. Maybe. I was in this camp for a long time, largely because 1) the best instructors I'd seen didn't charge; 2) One of the instructor lineages I was most impressed by made it a formal part of their philosophy- you didn't pay for the instruction in money now, you paid in the sweat and heartache of teaching the next generation; 3) I was told, and I believed without researching it for myself, that the Japanese Bushi class was incompatible and antagonistic to the merchant class and that there was no greater insult than to be a warrior for money.
Am I Japanese? No. Is this even true? No idea. Didn't the bushi recieve at least a stipend for their armed service? Hmmm. When all is said and done, aren't I paid and paid well to fight (in the most controlled, restrained and civilized manner possible, of course) for money? Damn right.
The person who actually got me thinking was Barry McConnell. Barry is one of those Hapkido/Arnis guys. He's also wicked, mean, funny, intelligent and sensible. Very much worth listening to. He asked, if you can't make money, maybe it's because what you're teaching isn't worth anything. Harsh, but accurate. If you feel your panties getting in a twist, take a moment and make sure it's not because he's right.
Barry got me thinking, but I can't honestly say I thought much about it. I don't need to teach for money and I've never cared for dealing with finances and accounting, so I just didn't bother charging.
On to the epiphany. This student really isn't a student. She is working on a project about teaching and I'm very eager to read what she has to say. She mentioned that in certain types of teaching, money is almost a taboo. She pointed out that I never talk about it and that not talking meant something. She plans to write a section on this. She asked the right questions to open up the back of my mind.
It's not about money. It never has been. It's about the relationship between teacher and student. In most endeavors, you hire a teacher or a guide with a pretty sure knowledge of where you want to go. A piano teacher will teach you to play the piano. If I was teaching a style, if I was _only_ teaching the motions of Sosuishitsu-ryu, it could be done this way: Give me X amount of dollars and I will show you the syllabus.
The relationship to teach about combat or survival is very different. I'm not an employee. I can't be. At some point, the student got to know me and I got to know the student and the student said, "Take me there." Take me to a dangerous, scary place that I have never seen. If I was an employee and the student was the boss, they could skip the rough spots and avoid the dangers and they would decide when they had arrived, even if they did not know what the destination looked like. The old relationship, the true relationship, has to give the guide, the instructor, the sensei freedom to push the student when the student wants to stop, freedom to force what the student most wants to avoid and freedom to terminate the relationship at any time. Sometimes because the goal has been reached, even if the student does not recognize it.
(Note- without an instructor of good heart and great experience, this system is ripe for abuse. An ignorant instructor of good heart can do nearly as much damage as an evil instructor).
She said that there is always an exchange in the student/teacher relationship. Both sides benefit in money or ego gratification or insight or skill or something else. There is always a currency exchanged. What is yours?

Mass Boycott Of Zionist Controlled Media As They Try To Silence Real Opinions And News Because They Are Exposed
The Mainstream Media's "Fake News" Narrative is Already Beginning to Collapse
Quantcast restores Infowars, blacklist of "fake news websites" removed
The mainstream media's "fake news" narrative is already beginning to collapse after the author of a blacklist of "fake news websites" removed the list and Quantcast reinstated Infowars.com to its ranking as the 126th most trafficked website in the world.
Yesterday we reported on how Quantcast had apparently de-listed Infowars.com at the same time that the mainstream media was circulating a list of "fake news websites" that included big conservative news outlets such as Infowars and Breitbart.
Infowars has now been re-instated on Quantcast's list of top websites and has skyrocketed up to number 126 on the list.
In addition, the list of so-called "fake news websites" created by a biased extreme leftist social justice warrior professor has now been removed from where it was hosted on Google Docs.
The author of the list, Melissa Zimdars, claims that it is being "transferred to and expanded on in a more permanent, dynamic, and collaborative home." This claim is false. The list has been wiped due to the overwhelming number of complaints received from people pointing out that she had included completely legitimate news sources (the vast majority conservative) on the blacklist.
The fact that the mainstream media, which has proven itself to be the experts at "fake news," from fake predictions showing Hillary had a 98% chance of winning the presidency, to fake rape campus rape hoaxes, to fake narratives about Trump being responsible for DNC-sponsored violence at his own rallies, is now lecturing everyone else about what constitutes "fake news" is deliciously ironic.
Twitter and other social media websites are now being saturated with the counter-narrative that the main purveyor of "fake news" is the mainstream media itself.
With trust in mainstream media (fake news) continuing to hover at record lows, the corrupt corporate press has once again failed to dictate the terms of reality and only succeeded in making itself look deceptive, underhanded and idiotic once again.
