To The Editor:
I am 62, disabled and walk with a cane. I have a disease of my spine and am mostly in pain. In the past six months, two people close to me have been hit by cars as pedestrians crossing at the light. Both survived, but it has been life changing. My friend was in a coma and his neck was broken. My father was hit in November, a week before his 88th birthday.
In both cases, the pedestrian was crossing with the light and car was turning in fast. I have spoken to NYPD traffic enforcement and the DOT. Basically, what I was told is that there are not enough police to be at every intersection or to view cameras and videos for offenders. The DOT claims that putting in bike lanes will help everyone—no, it will not. I was told that NYPD traffic enforcement meets with DOT regularly to review where most of the accidents take place and that they prioritize their budget and attention to be directed to where most of the accidents occur.
My father was hit at Queens Boulevard and 71st Avenue in Forest Hills on Nov. 15 during the day while crossing, and there were other accidents at that same intersection days apart from my father's accident. But in the past six months, nothing has been done and no improvements have been made, so there goes the theory that if there are enough accidents at an intersection, something is done. Bike lanes are not improving anything, but rather making it harder for pedestrians because it used to be that when you cross Queens Boulevard, you only have to look in the direction the traffic is coming. Now, you have to look in every direction because the bicycles come in both directions and do not adhere to the lights or the rules. They go through lights all the time.
I heard there are plans to put trees on Queens Boulevard, but what is needed is more lights and cameras and lights that give pedestrians a chance to cross before giving the turn signal to cars. The mayor wants an amber alert for any driver who leaves the scene of an accident after hitting a pedestrian. Without cameras, there would be no means of tracking down the offender.
My friend was hit by a car on May 1 at Kings Highway and Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn He was also crossing at the light. This is a 77-year-old man, who has been very active and done many fundraising walks for charitable causes. He was in a coma, all the bones in his neck were shattered and he is in an adult care facility. I wonder if his accident will be enough to justify a change at the intersection at which he was hit or whether there need to be more accidents before it can get the attention of NYPD traffic enforcement and the DOT.
I live at 108th Street in Forest Hills. I have had close calls on 108th Street, Yellowstone and Queens Boulevard. I see cars and bikes going through the light every day at various intersections and they turn fast and also block the cross walk. I don't want to be a statistic. The technology exists to make every light a three-way light and have each traffic light include a camera to record when a car or bike is going through the light. This should be a priority because our quality of life and safety are at stake.
Judith Berman,
Forest Hills

Ties that bind
Sometimes the most important thing we can do is remember who we are.
It is often said that Parliament cannot bind its successor. The first thing I realized about this statement is it is never issued by any politician who wants to strengthen and expand our liberties. It is never accompanied by anyone saying, of course, along with this no binding business come the constitutional protections and settlements that a parliament cannot touch, much less demolish or repeal – trial by jury, freedom of speech, freedom of association, and the covenant between sovereign and people, to name just a few.
The second thing I realized – and you have realized this, too, I am sure - is that if fundamental constitutional principles can be repealed by Parliament, the people's freedoms cannot be protected, the practical defences of their liberties cannot be sustained, nobody is safe, and everything – our homes, jobs, futures – are at risk.
To base your hopes on a Parliament unconstrained by the Constitution would be like starting a business with laws and agreements that were constantly decomposing, with no agreement you could rely on, no mortgage payments you could predict. It would be folly.
The third thing I learned about this phrase is that it has a strange and unconvincing history. It was taken from Blackstone, who first used it when he was obstreperously young and criticizing the management of his university. He developed a case "against the power of any corporate body to bind its successors, 'who have the same right to repeal as the Predecessors had to enact'". Though it sounds sensible – why shouldn't you run your business differently than your father or grandmother did? - the fact is, whatever changes you make, you will have to stick to some unchanging and unchangeable principles of law and accounting or you will become a bankrupt and face jail time.
In the same way, Parliament is bound and must act according to the tried and true British Constitution. As we have said (so frequently that you, kind readers, must be shaking your heads) the British Constitution has been described as unwritten and non-existent though no less a person than John Adams called it "the most stupendous fabric of human invention in all history". Its key documents include the Coronation Oath, Magna Carta, the Petition of Right, the Declaration of Right and Bill of Rights, the Act of Settlement 1701 and the Treaties and Acts of Union. It is based on the common law.
In the 19th century, and even up to World War II, it was unnecessary to say that whatever Parliament did, it had to act constitutionally. Everybody knew that. The change occurred after the war (but the effort had begun as early as 1911). There seemed to be an unspoken plan not to mention the Constitution that governed the nation and that by law binds Parliament.
Today we face the fact that Parliament is about to lay its collective head on the block by approving the EU's Lisbon Treaty. In direct violation of the British Constitution, which declares that Britain cannot be ruled by a foreign power, and that the British people are the rightful owners of their laws, liberties and customs, Parliament seems prepared to make Britain and the British people subject to the EU.
Like Alice in Wonderland we would like to be saved from this fantastic and oppressive future by Blackstone's simple and robust sentence that "ACTS of parliament derogatory from the power of subsequent parliaments bind not." In other words, anything this Parliament does that diminishes the power of the next parliament cannot bind that future parliament.
If only disaster could be so easily averted! But the EU is becoming powerful. Capable of buying most government officials with high wages and pensions, establishing a corpus juris system of justice that deliberately omits protections for the individual and allows the EU to make political prosecutions, enlarging its police and giving them immunity from civil or criminal prosecution, expanding its armed forces until it controls navies and nuclear weapons, the EU will force any rebellious nation or parliament that has second thoughts to its knees.
In considering the Lisbon Treaty the British Parliament has a simple decision to make – will it serve two masters and become a slave, or will it serve the British people and their free children under the British Constitution? Will it set us on an unmarked road full of dangers without our constitutional protections against absolute power? Will it expose our hearts to the woe and misery known by people who have no independence and no control over their own destiny?

Bermondsey Branch
James Reffell, the Waterman of the Bermondsey branch and his brother Emanuel Reffell had a number of children who also became watermen, however within a generation of their passing there was no one within the family who was connected with the river. James had married Mary Ann Waghorn and her unusual surname was to be reflected as a child's middle name for many generations to come.
James John Reffell was a baker living at 51 Fawcett Road in Deptford with his wife (who was born with the Reffell surname and was a first cousin) Alice Maud. Eight of their ten children were there; Florence, Henry, Annie, Alfred, Albert, Gladys and Leonard. The eldest son William James was also married and living there His occupation was as a stationery engine driver with the South East & Greenwich Railway. Together with their young son William it must have been a very busy household. The eldest daughter Alice Maud had married Edward Miles in 1903.
Henry and Alfred above were both apprentice compositors and this may have been due to the influence of their uncle Frederick George Jager who was a qualified compositor. He had married Elizabeth Maria Reffell and was living at 4 Cranswick Road in Rotherhithe.
Also a compositor by trade, Albert Rowland Hill had married Caroline Hilda Reffell the previous year and they were living at 42 Dale Road in Finsbury Park. Also with them was Caroline's sister Florrie Amelia who was working as an examiner in an International School.
Ellen Reffell had married George William Smith in 1907, but unfortunately had been widowed the previous year. Helping her bring up their two young children Ellen & Elizabeth was her unmarried sister Emma. They lived at 82 Ilderton Road in South Bermondsey where the two sisters both worked in the clothing trade.
James Waghorn Reffell was working as a jeweller and living at 1 Albion Grove Albion Road in Stoke Newington with his wife of ten years Edith Mary Balls. Also there were there children; James Edward, Edith Alice & Frank. his mother Mary and brothers George and Charles were nearby at 25 Noel Street Calebroke Row in Islington. The brothers were both diamond moulders by trade.
James Waghorn's brother John Henry was also a jeweller and living at 76 Kings Court Road in Streatham. Also there was his wife Margaret Wilkinson and children; Margaret Mary Wilkinson, John Robert & Alice Hilda.
The son of George Bush Reffell, William Henry was living at Four Marks in Alton Hampshire with his wife of twenty nine years Ellen Bond. He was living on his own means with their second son Sidney Guy. Eldest son Frederick William was a manger of a beer bottling works and living at 91 Bostoke Avenue in Northampton. With him was wife Edith Carradine and young daughter Eileen Constance. The only daughter Edith Beatrice was with her carpenter husband Ernest Lockton at 4 Rosehill Road in Wandsworth.
Henry Waghorn Reffell had emigrated to Canada in November 1867, and his youngest son Charles James Reffell was to be the only one who remained there to be shown in the 1911 Canadian census.

Yes. Boy or girl, every campus kid should know how to cook basic meals. Despite continuous talks about how women are of more value if they can cook, I think putting together a basic meal is something everyone should be able to do. After campus when you move out of your parents' nest you may not be able to eat out all the time so if you can't cook, now isn't a bad time to start learning.
2.Fixing your own clothes
Do not be those people who toss away a shirt or blouse simply because a button is loose or lost or there is a hole through it. Knowing how to use a needle and thread can really come in handy and save you in case your cloth rips in a place where you cant change your outfit.
Especially if you are thrift shopping, bargaining is something you will have to learn how to do in order to survive in university. This in the long run will prevent you from spending beyond your means.
4.Putting together a good resume
By your third year you will be required to work and to get work you have to submit a well-put together resume. A simple one wont cut it; it has to be attractive, brief yet informative. You want to look as good as possible on your resume. It should be able to stand out among many especially because most employers do not go through all the ones that get submitted for one round of application.
Here is a link that can guide you on writing a good resume.
5. Being fluent
Whether English or Swahili, you should be conversant and fluent in at least one language. By the time you are in campus you should learn how to express yourself and air our views in a manner that is well understood. Good communication skills are a plus everywhere you go.

With the 2014 World Cup next month, 23 is Back has been noticing that sneaker brands have been seizing this excellent opportunity to showcase their creativity with distinct sneaker releases. With the Jordan Brazil Pack, which includes this Air Jordan 6 colorway and another sneaker, Jordan Brand has also take an exciting yet simple approach. Considering the fact that it is in mid June when the World Cup festivities will kick off, it is not surprising that this pair is expected to be released on June 14th, just two days after the FIFA World Cup begins.
It was near the end of April when the sneaker world got a first glimpse at Jordan 6 "Brazil" colorway that is one of sneakers in this two-pair set. It should be obvious by now that the inspiration for this sneaker and the pair accompanying it comes from the 2014 World Cup that will be held in Brazil. Moreover, back in April, a Nike Football Media Event was being held in Madrid, Spain where Jordan 6 "Brazil" was displayed. Despite the fact that Jordan Brand has never been involved in the sport of international soccer, the label has confirmed that they have some goodies in store in spirit of the World Cup, including the kicks that come in the Brazil Pack.
Jordan 6 "Brazil" is going to be released to show somewhat of a support for Brazil, the host country in this year's World Cup. For the readers who are more into basketball than soccer, the Brazilian national soccer team has already won five World Cup championships in the past. Hence, it is even more iconic that this upcoming Jordan 6 colorway is expected to be released at a time when the national team is hopeful that they will win the 2014 Cup as well. In April, it was also revealed that a similar colorway of the Jordan CP3.VII is the other pair that will be included in the Brazil Pack with Jordan 6 . Both pairs are going to get a limited release, i.e. just two thousand pairs are going to available for grabs.
Along with new Jordan release dates 2014, 23isBack recently got confirmation that the rumor is indeed true that Jordan Brand is indeed limited the release of Jordan 6 "Brazil" to just 2,000 pairs. This actually makes this pack one of 2014's toughest pick-ups and the demand for both the pairs that are included will most likely be very high. A combination of black suede and tumbled leather has been brought to the Air Jordan 6 silhouette by this pair. The green and yellow highlights that are featured on the branding, heel tab, lace lock and midsole are obviously a nod to the national team. The outsole displays icy accents, reminiscent to the original colorway of this model.
Among Jordan release dates 2014, the release date of the Brazil Pack is likely to fall between June 14th and June 21st. Both the Air Jordan 6 "Brazil" and the similar Jordan Jordan CP3.VII AE colorway are going to be available as a set and it will not be possible to cop them individually. Nonetheless, both of these limited pair look like they are worth having.

So Cute! Best Jessie Ever
By Toy Story Mom
from Brighton MI
Teen daughter used for Halloween and loved. Wore with jeans and white shirt. All of it was good quality for a costume. Glad we didn't order the full body suit Jessie costume.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great alternative to the "onesie" :)
By usmcwife
from North Carolina
About Me Adventurous, Classic
If the one-piece outfit isn't your thing, this is a great alternative. This allows you to look enough like Jessie to prove you're actually "in costume" and with a bit more class than the adult-sized onesie version of it. You can wear your own jeans (already making it the best costume EVER) and shirt, and STILL look the part. The accessories really are cute and do the job perfectly. I had to weigh the edges of the hat down for a few days, as it got a bit smushed in transit, but it's fine now. May add a bit of red yarn done up in a braid hanging from the back of the hat, but otherwise it's all you'll need to be Jessie...with dignity. :)

Cute quick costume
By LauraR
from Chicago
This costume turned out great! Me and my "Woody" were the hit of the party. It was very easy to pull together with a braid and a good pair of boots. There were a few cons though... first of all, it was a little pricey since it wasn't a full costume and only the accessories. The other thing is that the hat is made of foam and does not breathe at all. It was really sweaty. Maybe okay if you are trick or treating. .. but it was really warm at a packed party. Other than that it's a great costume.
Great for hard to find details
By Ash
from Walnutport, Pa
I used this simply for nailing the details. I was Jessie and my husband was Woody. I did not use the hat or the belt from this costume, as I got a real hat, the foam one from this kid did not fit my head. Same with the belt, it had velrco closure and did not fit securely around my waist. As far as the rest of the costume, I made myself a vest and the chaps. All together, it was pretty great.
Giddy up Cowgirl!
By Queen of Halloween

About Me Queen Of Halloween
The one thing that would make this costume better is if it included Jessie's yellow matching collar peice. I made my own. The hat was perfect- even fit on the yarn wig I made.

Decent Quality
By TravelVideoGuy
from Bay Area, CA
Nicely made products. Hat is a bit on the small side for an adult.
Jesse costume
By Denise
The hat was too small to fit on me and pricey for what you get. Otherwise, it was a good alternative to purchasing an entire jesse costume.
Guest Services Response:Thank you for your feedback about the Jesse costume kit. We will have our quality control team take a look at this item and make any adjustments as needed. If you have any other questions or concerns about this item please feel free to reach out to us via our Livechat button at the top of our page.
A bit pricey
By Jen
from Philadelphia
This is a great costume because you can wear your regular clothes with it. The hat was a little snug though A little bummed that mine did not come with the belt, and by the time I noticed, it was too late for Spirit to help since it's a Sunday and they are closed.

About Me Adventurous, Classic, Conservative, Trendy
We loved this, because it could be worn with regular clothes. It was easy and cute. Unfortunately, my husband's hat was bent and we couldn't get it to bend back properly. It made him look goofy and uncomfortable wearing the costume
DO NOT BUY, this was a waste of money
By Heather
from Sitka, AK
I ordered this for Halloween and unfortunately because I live in Alaska they charged me over $20 in shipping. They shipped it in a bag and the hat is made out of foam with the lamest white painted on stripe in the middle. The hat was completely crushed beyond use. I have to order a different hat to complete the outfit. Don't waste your money on this if you can avoid it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Biko Restaurant Review: Bruno Oteiza and Mikel Alonso, disciples of innovative Spanish chef Juan Mari Arzak, collaborated to open this restaurant. The menu is divided into whimsical creations under the heading "evolution" and standout versions of more conventional Spanish fare with the rubric "the pleasure of abundance." Among the best offerings are the raw salmon with "smoke paper" (it's made from potato flour) and red and black caviar, marinated in citrus fruits and served with black sesame paste; and squares of grilled tuna served with a sauce of fruits and nuts, essence of tuna and warm watermelon slices. Biko is a large space with high ceilings, discreetly lit in the afternoon with slatted window shades. In the afternoon the clientele is made up of Mexican power brokers and big-haired ladies who lunch. There's a full bar and a notable wine list, with a predictable emphasis on Spanish selections. Many of them are available by the glass, uncommon in Mexico City.

Everyone is a Leader for himself in GTE Inc. We are managing ourselves at GTE and Working Together! - Ignore
Leadership is a blessing which can only be found in some people. Leadership means how well you can motivate other people to bring out their best for the bigger interest. Leadership is extremely important for the quick progress of a company. Some sociologists think that we are all leaders in our own worlds. Some people can express their leadership in the practical field while others inborn leadership remains latent. A good company always focuses on figuring out the ways to germinate these latent leaderships of its employees. The best way to manage a company's staffs is to let them manage themselves. Employees can deliver their best when they feel comfortable at workplace. But sometimes the opposite thing happens. In a study, it is found that in 70% cases, if you let your staffs to manage themselves, they end up misusing this privilege. In this scenario, they end up reacting as individuals rather than a unit. So, it is extremely necessary to teach and preach unity among the employees. Global Trade Electronic USA Inc. is an LCD wholesaling company in Queens, NY. This company sells excellent LCD replacement screens like the iPhone 6 plus replacement LCD . The company has made very quick progress because it understands its employees. Everyone is a leader himself in GTE. The employees of this company manage themselves and they work as a unit. GTE Inc. is an outstanding example for other companies.
Leadership is not the province of a chosen few. The success of any organization is based on how well it is able to capture the talents of every individual. GTE believes everyone is a leader. Each of us is empowered to be a leader and do our part to make a difference and inspire change. No limitations, no secrets, and no red tape. Modern business took its organizational look and feel from the military. When you're fighting a battle you have to be able to count on the person to your right and your left; and to trust that orders once delivered are being followed without any doubt. Today the world moves faster than it used too. Strategic business plans used to be 5 or even 10 years in nature. Life did not seem to change as fast back then. The factors are many, of course. Global competition has meant that companies have so many more competitors for customers. Everyone is a Leader relates to the fact that GTE wants all of its employees to be leaders. They're on the front lines. When GTE wants any opinion, everyone pays attention and shares things that can make the company better immediately. For example, a few months earlier, the employees took a very important decision for the company. They decided to increase the sales of the iPhone 6 plus replacement LCD screen before the arrival of the new iPhone 7. This plan of the employee worked out pretty well for the company.
GTE believes that employees understand their jobs. They know their tasks, roles, and functions within the organization, and it's time to let them do what they need to do to get the job done. But there is a critical point that is often missed: It isn't possible for a company to "empower" someone to be accountable and make good decisions. People have to empower themselves. GTE's role is to encourage and support the decision-making environment, and to give employees the tools and knowledge they need to make and act upon their own decisions. By doing this, GTE helps its employees reach an empowered state. Here in GTE the employees are not managed by anyone. Amazingly, they manage themselves.
Employees work together as a team in GTE. Creativity thrives when people work together on a team. Brainstorming ideas as a group prevents stale viewpoints that often come out of working solo. Combining unique perspectives from each team member creates more effective selling solutions. Working together lets employees build on the talents of their teammates. While an employee's strength may be creative thinking, a coworker might shine in organization and planning. An employee should not hesitate to share his abilities with the team. Often, a team works well together because team members rely on each other to bring individual talents to the table.
Relying on other people builds trust, and teamwork establishes strong relationships with coworkers. Despite occasional disagreements, an effective team enjoys working together and shares a strong bond. When you put your trust in a coworker, you are establishing the foundation of a relationship that can endure minor conflicts. Working as a team allows team members to take more risks, as they have the support of the entire group to fall back on in case of failure. Conversely, sharing success as a team is a bonding experience. Once a team succeeds together, their brainstorming sessions will produce revolutionary ideas without hesitation. In many cases, the riskiest idea turns out to be the best idea. A few months ago, selling out the surplus of the iPhone 6 plus replacement LCD was indeed the riskiest idea. Teamwork allows employees the freedom to think outside the box. Working toward achieving company goals allows employees to feel connected to the company. This builds loyalty, leading to a higher level of job satisfaction among employees. These are the reasons why GTE puts a lot of emphasis on unity and teamwork.

A new study released yesterday by the Partnership for a New American Economy shows that 76 percent of all new patents in the United States come from immigrant students, postdoctoral fellows or staff researched at our nation's top universities. Keeping all those bright minds in the country is a problem, because our immigration laws make it difficult on those seeking to start their own business after graduation.
The typical story finds international students here legally who earn their Ph.D. then conducts research. Perhaps they discover a medical product that they want to market and sell to hospitals to raise money for additional research. Guess what? They can't. They cannot raise capital funds without a visa. As a university fellow or staff researcher, you are not allowed an employment visa. Only professors. Starting a business then sponsoring yourself doesn't work either. One immigrant from India in this very predicament was able to achieve a visa through a long-shot application reserved for persons of note, like Nobel Prize winners.
Thousands and thousands of international students come to the U.S. to get a first-class education and work with the best talent in the world. Which they do, then leave because they cannot find jobs and sponsors here. We create the world's best minds then send them away.
As a co-chair of the Partnership that sponsored the study, New York Mayor Bloomberg's office believes that, "Immigrant inventors create patents and patents create jobs." The Partnership for a New American Economy hopes this study will encourage U.S. federal immigration policy makers to keep the world's best and the brightest in this country.

There are many types of meditation practised across the world by millions of people every day.
For the purpose of this program, we will be briefly introducing 5 general types of meditation for you to try.
You may enjoy all of these, or you may find one favourite. Keep looking into meditation past this program until you find one that you can do daily.
Mindfulness and meditation have been proven to reduce chronic pain in patients who practice it daily.
The hardest part of making meditation work for you is making it a habit. Once you make it a habit, it can be added into your routine, and you will see your pain levels start decreasing.
Zen meditation is typically done in the lotus position (sitting cross-legged on the ground), but can be done sitting in a chair.
Keep your back and your head straight, and close your eyes. Take deep breaths using your diaphragm.
Starting at 10, count backwards to 0. When finished, start back at 10 and repeat. If you lose your count, focus back on the numbers and start at 10 again.
Mindfulness is the awareness of thought and sensations. There are a few ways to practice this kind of meditation.
You may try sight meditation when you have mastered the other 4 senses, as it is easier to be distracted with your eyes open.
This type of meditation utilizes visualization and thought control. Again, start by sitting and using your diaphragmatic breathing. You have to visualize a person, and think of only love and kind thoughts towards them.
You must see a wave of love and kindness washing over them. The people you visualize should be in the following order, with 5 minutes at least per person:
This is one of the most widely known meditative techniques. Sitting down, in the lotus position if you can or just in a chair if that is easier, use your diaphragm breathing to begin.
Once your breathing is controlled, close your eyes and slowly repeat a mantra.
A mantra can be any meaningful or non-meaningful sound that you will repeat. Many people start by using "OM". Focus on the vibrations you feel from your vocal cords saying the mantra, clear your mind of all thoughts . Remember to use the mantra with each exhaled breath.
Here is a list of other phrases you can use and their meanings:
Om śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ (pronounced AUM shanti): AUM, peace, peace, peace.
Sat Nam (extend "saaaaaat"): Truth is my name.
Ham'Sah[pronounced "Hahmm(inhale) Sahh(exhale)"]: I am that.
Exercise meditations, such as Yoga, Tai Chi or Qi Gong are helpful as relaxation techniques, while simultaneously helping increase your exercise levels.
Some people find movement-based meditation easier to learn than stationary, as it gives you something tangible to focus on: the movement.
There are many community centers and gyms that will offer these techniques in classes for you to try!
For this week's homework, you are going to try each style of meditation once (one per day), and then select the most helpful and use it once per day for the other 2 days of the week.
On the next page, you will find a table to help you track your progress with each style.
Do NOT move on to the next module until you have practiced each meditation style once.

The Great Dane!
The Great Dane is both regal and strong in appearance. It has a big muscular
body, a square muzzle and a tapering tail, which is usually carried straight
down. The ears naturally hang beside the head unless they are cropped, in which
case they appear erect and pointed. Its size does not affect its general conformation
that is so well balanced that it is able to move with a long reach and powerful
drive and never clumsy. The short, glossy coat that covers its well developed
body, its finely chiseled head and a firm neck that is set high and well arched
combines to produce the distinctive majestic elegance associated with the Great
Dane. Its ancestry is uncertain but is generally believed to be a cross between
the English Mastiff and the Irish Wolfhound. It was bred in Germany and not
in Denmark as it name suggests. It is known as the "Apollo of All Dogs" and
the "Gentle Giant".
Some Quick Facts:
Life Expectancy:
8-11 years
Energy Level:
Living Conditions:
Flexible, despite size.
Exercise Needs:
Daily 25 minute walk.
Breed Group:
Large & Tall
28 to 32 inches
100 to 200 pounds
Standard Hair Colors:
Fawn, brindle, blue, black, harlequin and mantle.
National breed club:
The Great Dane Club of America
Great Dane Skills
Early Danes were physically different in size and structure compared to the present Great Dane. They were formerly courageous and powerful hunters of wild boar capable of great speed and swift attack. The practice of many German noblemen in keeping them at their estates metamorphosed the breed into a reliable companion and protector. It has been used recently for therapy, service work and providing assistance to people with mobility problems. It also performs well in agility trials and schutzhund work. Talents include tracking, watchdog and carting.
Great Dane Personality
A Great Dane is gentle despite its size. It is spirited, courageous, friendly, dependable, loyal and intelligent. Timidity and aggressiveness are not acceptable traits for this breed. It especially loves being around people and is known to be playful and patient. However, it should be thoroughly obedience trained while still young for greater manageability once it is fully grown.
Exercise Needs
A Great Dane needs plenty of exercise or at the least a daily long walk.
Living Conditions
A Great Dane will find apartment life acceptable as long as it is given sufficient exercise. It may be relatively inactive thus a home with a large yard would be better.
Grooming Requirements
The Great Dane's smooth short-haired coat is easy to groom. A firm bristle brush is used for combing and brushing this average shredder. Dry shampooing can be done when necessary and nails should be kept trimmed. Bathing a dog of this size can be quite difficult thus it is better to have a daily grooming routine to minimize the need to do so.
Health Issues
There are a number of health conditions that have been identified in the Great Dane. Some of which that can be identified through testing are cardiomyopathy, hip dysplasia, hypothyroidism and cataracts. Other health concerns include cancer, wobblers, hypertrophic osteodystrophy and panosteitis and bloat.
If you liked this dog…
...the Newfoundland is a good alternative. Like the Great Dane, the Newfoundland is a very gentle breed despite its size. It also belongs to the working group, originally bred to pull sleds and carry packs, but have evolved into an ideal companion for the family.

Golf and Your Body
The best exercise for golfers is golfing.
– Bobby Jones
I love to play golf and work with fellow golfers. While playing in a tournament with my friends I had lot's of questions about aches and pains that seem to affect every golfer. They asked what are the most common problems I see and how to deal with them. While I can't talk about every condition I see among golfers and each treatment, here are some common problems and a what I believe is key to preventing them.
- Back Pain – poor posture causes mechanical stress or often disc related problems with your back.
- Golfer's elbow/Tennis elbow – an inflammation of the tendons attached on either side of the elbow. I see tennis elbow more commonly in golfers.
- Shoulder pain – Several conditions such as rotator cuff tendonitis, impingement, or tears can lead to shoulder pain.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome – from repetitive stress in the hands causing numbness and pain.
- DeQuervain's tendonitis – inflammation of the tendons at the base of the wrist that control the thumb.
- Trigger Finger – causes the finger to lock up from a swollen flexor tendon catching in its sheath.
- Knee Pain – there are many conditions that affect golfers including torn meniscus, ligament tears, and osteoarthritis.
Golf is a great sport for a life time but it takes some maintenance to keep your body pain free over time. Stretching may be better than practice for enjoying a pain free game. Most players need to make some time to stretch before playing or even spending time on the range. No ones body wants to be torqued and twisted without a little warning. While many players arrive right before tee time and take off to play a fifteen minute stretching routine can make a big difference.
You can't stretch enough!
Warm muscles are more elastic allowing better stretching, walk to the range to get your heart rate up a little for a warm up. I like to work from head to toe so I remember to stretch the whole body. Hold each stretch for 20 seconds. Don't bounce or stretch to the point of pain.
- Neck – turn your head each way and hold
- Shoulder – hold your arm across your body and pull your elbow
- Chest – hold a club behind your back and push your chest out
- Wrist – hold your elbow locked out and pull your hand down then up to stretch the forearms
- Core muscles – hold a club over your head and bend to each side as far as you can and hold
- Back – toe touches are great for the lower back. Go as far as you can but don't bounce!
- Hamstrings – place your foot on a bench or cart and lean forward toward your toes
- Calves – Lean towards a cart or tree and put your heel behind you on the ground then move your pelvis forward. You should feel the calf muscle stretch.
What about after the round? The clubhouse is a great place to relax and retell the stories of your round but after you're done a hot shower and a few more stretches should prevent the next day stiffness and keep you ready to play again.
Enjoy your golf game more by keeping your body in shape to play with simple stretches before and after you play! If you have trouble with any of these conditions from your golf game let's work together on getting you back to your game. Hit em straight!

Census 2001 provisional reports indicate that India has made significant
progress in the field of literacy during the decade since the previous census in
1991.The literacy rate in 2001 has
been recorded at 64.84% as against 52.21% in 1991.The 12.63 percentage points increase in the literacy rate
during the period is the highest increase in any decade.Also for the first time there is a decline in the absolute
number of non-literates during the past 10 years.The total number of non literates has come down from 328 million in 1991
to 304 million in 2001.During
1991-2000, the population in 7+ age group increased by 176 millions while 201 million additional persons became literate during that period.Out of 864 million people above the age of 7 years, 560 million are now
literates.Three-fourths of our
male population and more than half of the female population are literate.This indeed is an encouraging indicator for us to speed up our march
towards the goal of achieving a sustainable threshold literacy rate of 75% by
Census 2001 provisional figures also indicate that the efforts of the nation
during the past decade to remove the scourge of illiteracy have not gone in
vain.The eradication of illiteracy
from a vast country like India beset by several social and economic hurdles is
not an easy task.Realising this
the National Literacy Mission was set up on 5th May,1988 to impart a
new sense of urgency and seriousness to adult education.After the success of the areas specific,time bound, voluntary based
campaign approach first in Kottayam city and then in Ernakulum district in
Kerala in 1990,the National Literacy Mission had accepted the literacy
campaigns as the dominant strategy for eradication of illiteracy.
of 600 districts in the country,597 districts have already been covered under
Total Literacy Campaigns.The number of continuing education districts is
328.The creditable performance of
the National Literacy Mission received international recognition when it was
awarded the UNESCO Noma Literacy Prize for 1999.The International Jury while selecting NLM for the prize recognised its
initiation of the Total Literacy Campaigns and also its efforts in galvanising
activities towards integration, conservation of the environment,promotion of
women's equality,and the preservation of family customs and traditions.The Jury also appreciated the training imparted by
NLM,the teaching
learning material produced by it and the awareness created by it for the demand for raising both the quality and quantity of primary education.
Bureau of Adult Education and National Literacy Mission under the Department of
School Education and Literacy of the Ministry of Human Resource Development
functions as the Secretariat of the National Literacy Mission Authority.The General Council of the NLMA is headed by the Minister of Human
Resource Development and the Executive Council is headed by the Secretary (Elementary Education and
Directorate of Adult Education provides necessary technical and resource
support to the NLMA.
The National Literacy Mission was revitalised with the approval of the Union Government on 30th September, 1999.The Mission's goal is to attain total literacy i.e. a sustainable threshold literacy rate of 75% by 2007.The Mission seeks to achieve this by imparting functional literacy to non-literates in the 15-35 age group.To tackle the problem of residual illiteracy,now it has been decided to adopt an integrated approach to Total Literacy Campaigns and Post Literacy Programme. This means the basic literacy campaigns and post literacy programmes will be implemented under one literacy project called 'Literacy Campaigns an Operation Restoration' to achieve continuity,efficiency and convergence and to minimise unnecessary time lag between the two.Post literacy programmes are treated only as a preparatory phase for launching Continuing Education with the ultimate aim of creating a learning society.
order to promote decentralization,the State Literacy Mission Authorities have
been given the authority to sanction continuing education projects to Districts
and literacy related projects to voluntary agencies in their States.
In order to revitalise,re-energise and expand the role of State Resource Centres,not only their number is being increased but also their infrastructure and resource facilities are being strengthened to enable them to play the role of catalytic agents in adult education.There are 25 State Resource Centres working across the country.They are mainly responsible for organising training programmes for literacy functionaries in the State and to prepare literacy material in local languages.
The Directorate of Adult Education ,a sub-ordinate office of the Department of School Education and Literacy has been entrusted with the task of monitoring and evaluating the various literacy programmes being launched under the aegis of the National Literacy Mission.It also provides technical and resource support to the NLM including media support to enable it to achieve its objectives.The National Literacy Mission is laying great stress on vigorous monitoring and systematic evaluation of adult education programmes launched under its aegis in the country.It has developed and circulated guidelines for concurrent and final evaluation of the Total Literacy Campaigns and Post Literacy Programmes. A comprehensive set of guidelines on continuing education have also been prepared.So far about 424 Total Literacy Campaign districts and 176 Post Literacy districts have been evaluated by the external evaluation agencies.So far 32 districts have been externally evaluated during continuing education phase.It is hoped that the new approach of evaluating literacy campaigns and Continuing Education Schemes will ensure complete transparency and enhance the credibility of the results and impact assessments.

Muker Hay Meadows & The Bluebells
Swaledale has an abundance of wildflowers; with hillsides of primroses and bluebells and hay meadows bursting with colour of several species of wildflower , it's a botanists and photographer's paradise in spring/early summer.
The Protected Hay Meadows
The hay meadows at Muker are probably the most dramatic example of flower rich fields in the country and are a bit of an unsung national treasure. Wild flowers in this concentration are a rarity in this country and are the result of years of management from the local Dales farmers who cut the fields back at the end of June (usually) to provide fodder for their livestock during the winter.
Encouraged by a number of local conservation groups such as the Yorkshire Dales National Park and specifically the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust who work closely with the farmers involved, these fields are becoming more and more spectacular each year.
The 12 fields at Muker offer a wide range of wild flowers which include cat's ear, wood crane's bill, Lady's mantle, pignut and the lovely melancholy thistle. Six of the fields have flagged paths, some are inaccessible but viewable whilst the first two are suitable for wheelchairs or pushchair visitors.
>>For more information on the Hay Meadows click here<<
The Bluebells
Just before the Hay Meadows spring to life and colour the dale, we are lucky enough to also have carpets of Bluebells along the River Swale, the bottom path at the side of Kisdon Hill. If you look up to your left along this route, you will see a sea of purplely blue. They are usually at their best at the beginning of May. Absolutely stunning!

97% of Terminal Cancer Patients Previously had this Dental Procedure…
Dr. Mercola describes and warns of the inherent dangers of having root canal treatment performed on teeth. He says this is a procedure that occurs approximately 41,000 times each day in the USA. It is accomplished usually be a specialist called an Endodontist using methods approved by the American Dental Association and various endodontic societies. Endodontic treatment has been performed since around the beginning of the 20th Century. Originally the procedure was rather crude by comparison to today's techniques.
Despite those improvements (such as using ozone) at cleaning the root canals within a tooth and sealing them, it is considered that this is a procedure which is impossible at effectively removing 100% of the infected tissue and microorganisms within the internal anatomy of any tooth. Dr. Mercola gives references to studies which have been done over decades showing proof that pathogenic organisms are invariably left behind which ultimately morph into more virulent organisms causing systemic diseases within the human body. He references work done by Dr. Tom Stone, Dr. Douglas Cook,Dr. Weston Price, Dr. Meinig, Dr. Robert Jones, Dr. Josef Issels and Dr. Hal Huggins.
It is thought as long as your immune system remains strong, any bacteria that stray away from an infected tooth are captured by the body's defense system and destroyed. However, once your immune system is compromised and fails to function normally, pathogenic microorganisms are able to proliferate and cause various diseases. The claim is made that the following diseases have their etiology in teeth treated by endodontic therapy: kidney disease, arthritis and rheumatic diseases, neurological disease (including ALS and MS) and autoimmune diseases (Lupus erythematosis and others).
It was Dr. Robert Jones who found in his research the following correlations: 93% of women with breast cancer had at least one tooth treated endodontically; 7% showed other pathology. He noted that tumors, in a majority of cases, occurred on the same side of the body as the root canal treated tooth or where other oral pathology was found. And Dr. Issels has reported that, in his 40 years of treating terminally ill cancer patients, 97% of them had teeth that were treated endodontically.
It should be noted that most research that is generally accepted by scientists and health professionals is done so after double blind and/or duplicated studies have been done. Dr. Mercola does not mention this in his lengthy article, therefore the reader is obliged to do his or her own due diligence regarding this information. This in no way suggests that this information lacks credibility.
It has been confirmed by the American Dental Association for over a decade that some pathogenic microorganisms from the oral cavity are known to be the etiological factor in some systemic diseases. However, it has not been confirmed that their source has been from one or more teeth having been treated by root canal therapy. Some adversaries to the procedure claim this is the case because the ADA favors treatment modalities performed by their accredited specialties, and also because the alternative of extraction of teeth and replacement of them can be extensive and costly.
What You Need to Know to AVOID a Root Canal
I strongly recommend never getting a root canal. Risking your health to preserve a tooth simply doesn't make sense. Unfortunately, there are many people who've already have one. If you have, you should seriously consider having the tooth removed, even if it looks and feels fine. Remember, as soon as your immune system is compromised, your risk of of developing a serious medical problem increases—and assaults on your immune system are far too frequent in today's world.
If you have a tooth removed, there are a few options available to you.
Partial denture: This is a removable denture, often just called a "partial." It's the simplest and least expensive option.
Bridge: This is a more permanent fixture resembling a real tooth but is a bit more involved and expensive to build.
Implant: This is a permanent artificial tooth, typically titanium, implanted in your gums and jaw. There are some problems with these due to reactions to the metals used. Zirconium is a newer implant material that shows promise for fewer complications.
But just pulling the tooth and inserting some sort of artificial replacement isn't enough.
Dentists are taught to remove the tooth but leave your periodontal ligament. But as you now know, this ligament can serve as a breeding ground for deadly bacteria. Most experts who've studied this recommend removing the ligament, along with one millimeter of the bony socket, in order to drastically reduce your risk of developing an infection from the bacterially infected tissues left behind.
I strongly recommend consulting a biological dentist because they are uniquely trained to do these extractions properly and safely, as well as being adept at removing mercury fillings, if necessary. Their approach to dental care is far more holistic and considers the impact on your entire body—not JUST your mouth.

PhoneGap ChildBrowser plug-in
Date of publication: 2014-05-06 10:30:17
It has already been told about the main principles of developing mobile applications using PhoneGap, if we are ready — let's move on - if not, read the first article on the PhoneGap. So what is this plug-in about? Imagine that your application PhoneGap implements web-search, for example, in Google, the results are displayed in a for of a list. For example, we need to open a link in your browser by clicking a search result. Actually, it is easy to implement by the kernel of the PhoneGap library, but by default all links open in a browser by default, that is to say, when you click on the link to open a separate application (for Android - Chrome, for IOS - Safari). There is a number of factor which are opposed to the standard method of treatment the links: When you open a new application in IOS, the previously opened minimizes to tray (IPhone 4G), or even close (IPhone 3G) Application loses control over the further processing of user's operations. That's why has been developed ChildBrowser plug-in. Here is a list of its features:
- Open this link in a standard browser.
- Open this link in a child browser.
- Close the window of a child browser.
- Callback for redirects within the child browser.
Open this link in a standard browser
window.plugins.childBrowser.openExternal(url, [usePhoneGap = false])- Opens the default browser and loads the address of its «url», usePhoneGap parameter specifies the use of the mechanism of white list (a list of trusted addresses) of your application.
Open this link in a child browser
Close the window of a child browser
Callbacks of the child browser
onClose()- Called at the time when the child browser receives the closing signal.
onLocationChange(location)- Called on every time the address of a web document of a child browser is changed. Perhaps the above description will be updated in later versions of ChildBrowser plug-in, but for writing this article was used the information about the plug-in that is compatible with Phonegap 1.2.0 - 1.4.0.

Gold Detector Reviews: Minelab's "Eureka Gold"
Intermediate Level or "Journeyman" Detectors:
Minelab "Eureka Gold"
There is little question that Minelab metal detectors have earned top status in many professional detecting and nugget hunting circles over the past 10-15 years, despite their relatively high retail prices. The "Eureka Gold" detector ($975.00-$1,250.00) is Minelab's contribution to mid-range gold detectors and as such it performs well and can hold its own against the competition at this level.
Super-Sensitive in the UHF Range
One reason for the "Eureka Gold's" success is its super-sensitive 60 kHz operating frequency that allows it to detect even tiny pieces of gold under the right conditions. The "Eureka" can pretty much march lock step with any other detector out there that runs at the ultra-high frequency (UFH) range, including Fisher's "Gold Bug 2." Hard-core aficionados of both detector brands will undoubtedly argue the finer points, but in the end "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder."
Potential Benefits and Limitations
In their promotional materials for the "Eureka Gold" detector, Minelab is quick to point out that their gold machine can also be operated at two other frequencies, 6.4 kHz and 20 kHz. What are the potential benefits in using those frequencies? I'll try and explain those as well as the potential limitations.
Gold Prospecting Books
The "Eureka Gold's" very low frequency (VLF) function of 6.4 kHz can enable you to detect objects at much greater depths. That's the primary benefit. However, using a VLF function can also limit your sensitivity to smaller nuggets and pieces off natural gold, so it's a judgment call of sorts whether this function will be used in the field. If you are after large, deep nuggets it may make sense. (Note: Back in the 1980s most standard general-purpose metal detectors used VLF frequency ranges combined with transmitter/receiver [TR] circuitry. J.R.)
Strapworks.com - any strap, any length, any color!
Using the 20 kHz operating range may have benefits if you decide to shift gears and try your hand at general metal detecting (coins, beaches, relics, etc.). However, if this operating frequency is used in a nugget hunting context you'll most likely lose a bit of depth as well as some sensitivity. My view is this: the UHF function is unquestionably the most practical and useful operating frequency for detecting small nuggets and those tinier pieces of gold out there.
My Problem with the "Eureka Gold"
My problem with the Minelab "Eureka" or any other detector brand that tries to be all things to all people is essentially philosophical in nature with a practical application to that subjectivity. It's my belief that most nugget hunters want a machine that is tailored to finding nuggets and nuggets alone. Multi-function operating frequencies are all well and good in a general sense, but anytime you try and cover all the bases I think you lose a bit of function and capability elsewhere. But then hey...I'm "old school!"
So when I shell out over $1,000 U.S. dollars for a mid-level gold detector, I want it to be the very best it can be at that function and that function alone. Hell's bells people! If I want a coin detector I'll just use a coin and relic machine (my trusty Garrett in this case). I don't want "bells and whistles" on a gold machine...I want ease of function and the highest capability for that purpose and nothing else. Nada. No way, no how...
Other Features
OK, got that little rant off my chest. Here are other "Eureka Gold" features:
"Accu-Trak" automatic ground balancing.
NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) rechargeable battery system and charger, including a cigarette lighter charger plug. (A nice feature of the "Eureka" is the fact that you can switch from the NiMH rechargeable function to plain old alkaline batteries if your charge runs out while you're hunting.)
2-position "all metals" discrimination and 1-turn discrimination adjust.
11" round "Gold Search" coil.
1- turn threshold tuning.
Finally, please understand that when it's operating in the UHF range, the "Eureka Gold" can be a force to reckon with when it comes to detecting those small nuggets. In general, you can also dispel any fears about the "Eureka Gold's" ability to handle highly mineralized zones...if ground balanced correctly, it will eliminate those problems for you.
So there you have it. Be safe, be smart, and good luck out there.

The Rabbit People Animal Sanctuary
The Rabbit People Animal Sanctuary was a corporation registered in the state of California.
It was a domestic corporation, meaning it was formed, as well as registered, in California. Its articles of incorporation were filed on November 14, 2002.
All of The Rabbit People Animal Sanctuary's powers, rights and privileges in the State of California have been suspended. This could have happened because they failed to file a return and/or pay taxes to the California Franchise Tax Board, or because they failed to make certain informational filings with the California Secretary of State. The specific reason for this suspension can be found by ordering a status report from the Secretary of State.
The Rabbit People Animal Sanctuary was a nonprofit public benefit.

A convicted rapist was tortured to death with scissors in the mistaken belief that he was a paedophile, a court heard on Monday.
The body of Alan Street, 26, was found in an underground drain weeks after he was subjected to a prolonged attack at a house in Padiham, Lancashire, last December.
Allan Palmer, 44, pleaded guilty to murder, while Peter Leonard, 52, admitted helping to dispose of the body.
Leonard, Kieron Davison, 21 and Ian Palmer, 45, all deny murder. The case at Preston Crown Court continues.

DRAGONS speedster Hallam Amos hopes that adding another string to his bow by playing in midfield can give him an edge in World Cup year.
The 18-times capped international is not in Wales' autumn squad after suffering a dislocated elbow in the Rodney Parade region's loss at Leinster in September, although he has been helping with the preparations for Saturday's Test with Australia.
The 24-year-old from Monmouthshire made his return in the Dragons' defeat at Connacht last weekend – but not in the back three.
Amos slotted in at outside centre, a position that he had not played since age-grade rugby.
The Wales international has the power, speed and footwork to thrive with ball in hand, and showed that with a well-taken try, and hopes to pick up the defensive intricacies in a notoriously challenging position.
"I quite enjoyed it to be fair. In attack it suits my game on the outside break and getting onto my left peg," said Amos.
"In defence it's a tough position but the way the national team defends is a help; wingers defend like traditional 13s in that they are up high and making reads, so that was similar.
"I still prefer the back three but if I am called upon I can hopefully do a job there and with a bit more experience those defensive reads will get easier as well."
Amos missed out on autumn selection with Warren Gatland plumping for the Lions trio of Leigh Halfpenny, Liam Williams and George North plus Josh Adams, Steff Evans, Luke Morgan and Jonah Holmes as back three options.
The Dragon started all three summer Tests at full-back and has won the majority of his caps on the flank.
With Gatland facing some tight calls for his 31-man squad at Japan 2019, Amos hopes the ability to play 13 can help his prospects of earning the call.
"With what is going on this time next year, the more positions we can cover the better," said Amos, who scored against Uruguay in the last World Cup but suffered a tournament-ending shoulder injury in the famous win against England.
"It's a limited squad and if you can cover both wings, full-back and centre the it won't harm your chances. Hopefully I have shown that if they put me there I won't be a liability."
With the Dragons having a week off from PRO14 action, medical student Amos has the chance to catch up with some university work.
The region are next in action against Russia in a friendly at Bedwas a week on Friday and then entertain Edinburgh on Sunday, November 24 with Amos hoping to enjoy a run of games after making his comeback.
"The elbow was good," he said. "With these injuries you are always slightly conscious coming back but as soon as the game starts the adrenalin knocks off any worries. In the thick of it you don't notice things."

8 Industries Where IoT Is Working the Best
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has identified the areas currently exploiting the IoT to the fullest.
By: Gary Eastwood
Published on June 16, 2017 by CIO
The Internet of Things (IoT) is making progress in quite a few industrial sectors, especially those including energy, manufacturing, supply chain analytics and connected vehicles.
Connected technology is transforming companies by enhancing the competitive edge at the intersection of people, data and intelligent machines. The productivity and efficiency gains garnered from improved operational effectiveness is putting those organizations willing to harness these tools at the forefront of industry.
There are particular sectors where IoT seems to have found a definitive role, which the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) identified as the areas that are currently exploiting the IoT to the fullest. Here are eight of them.
1. Wearables
There are a host of innovative wearables on the market today. And not only limited to fitness trackers, but the range is expanding to incorporate clothing that monitors respiration rate, football helmets that have impact detection capabilities and smart glasses that enable augmented reality.
These devices generate biometric and environmental data for either feedback or comprise processors allowing smart decisions to be made based on accumulated information. The potential applications in industry are quite substantial, besides the obvious coaching advancements enabled by activity trackers, but firefighters wearing smart glasses can "see" the buildings layout when obstructed with smoke, permitting them to do their jobs in an otherwise impossible environment. The use of wearable technology for recording vital signs also promises to revolutionize the medical profession.
2. Smart homes and buildings
Both residential and commercial buildings can benefit from IoT devices. From an industrial perspective, they can facilitate resource and energy optimization with devices like smart heating systems, refrigerators, connected security cameras and lighting.
3. Vehicles
Connected vehicles have the ability to sense, analyze and make decisions based on information gathered from the environment. They can optimize traffic routes or avoid accidents or safety hazards. Additionally, there is the infotainment capability for passenger vehicles allowing users to stream music or provide navigation.
For the motor industry, this is where IoT truly has the edge. IoT-enabled data communication systems allow motor companies to remotely update software and respond to real time mechanical issues. This facilitates preventative maintenance and improves vehicular performance. Another potential platform for the motor industry to exploit is the interconnectivity between IoT devices, allowing more effective logistics management. Perhaps even safer roads are a reality, as connected vehicles awareness of each other and thus result in smoother flow of traffic, devoid of human error.
4. Manufacturing
IoT in the manufacturing dimension is not a new concept. Many production facilities are already relying on smart sensors and machine learning to make in-line adjustments to the process. The data generated and the analytics performed can vastly improve efficiency and quality. Furthermore, the information collected can be used to predict impending machine failures and thus improve machinery performance and longevity with predictive maintenance.
5. Supply chain
IoT devices have been instrumental in revolutionizing supply chain management. Smart sensors and IoT devices enable product identification along the chain and thus aid reducing bottlenecks, improving efficiency and consequently reducing production costs. This dramatically eases the shipping process as well, as environmental data can be accounted for to arrange adequate logistics.
6. Agriculture
Agriculture is one industry that is profiting considerably from the implementation of IoT devices. The applications include using smart sensors to remotely monitor and control pumps and equipment, as well as environmental monitoring of chemical levels, soil profiles and air quality. In greenhouses, similar monitors and track and automatically respond to changes in humidity and temperature. These advances allow the changes to be made in real time, raising the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the process.
7. Healthcare
IoT in healthcare has potentially lifesaving capabilities, seeking to improve patient quality of life and enable self monitoring and management of health. In hospitals themselves, IoT biometric devices can monitor vital signs allowing health professionals to oversee an entire ward at the glance of a tablet screen. This real-time monitoring aggregates data that can be analyzed to provide a holistic view of the patient's health, as well as indentifying trends that may need medical intervention.
8. Energy
Oil and gas companies make use of IoT devices to measure along drilling lines. By measuring, and consequently adapting the speed and pressure of the drilling procedure, these devices serve to optimize the process and cut expenditure.
Smart energy grids are becoming popular and rely on IoT devices to enable communication between the grid and the consumer, optimizing the resources where possible. This not only reduces costs, but saves energy and potentially reduces the carbon footprint.
These industries are at the vanguard of IoT development and are adapting their processes to integrate intelligence-driven technology to improve functionality. The success in these sectors is providing a gateway for the progress of IoT into other industries.

I feel the need to clear my head and get down some of these thoughts as soon as I can muster them, because I don't really feel like this that often. There's always the chance of me growing more numb to the events as they pass, and sinking deeper into an apathy I've been fighting to escape from all this time.
I want to believe people are better.
I want to believe people are great. I want to believe that we can accomplish incredible things and look upon the work we have done and call it good. I want to not doubt the people around me and I want to view the world not with cynicism but with cheerful optimism. I want to believe the best of the people around me.
I have to try.
Because not to try would mean giving in to despair.

Excerpt from Kopano Matlwa's Coconut
Kopano Matlwa received the 2006-7 EU Literary Award last week for her first novel, Coconut. BOOK SA is pleased to bring you this excerpt from her book – read on!
* * * * * * *
I didn't tell Tshepo because I knew that he would believe me. I needed somebody to convince me that I was lying. You see, the problem with Tshepo is that he thinks too much. Tshepo and Daddy had not been getting along very well and I didn't want to exacerbate the tension between them. Besides, what if I was lying?
I swear. It happened innocently. I do not pry. Hell, I would have been better off not knowing, (whatever it is I think I now know). I needed to urgently call Maritza so that we could plan whether it would be wiser to dress in pants or skirts to school the next day, but Mama had been hogging the phone. I was getting anxious because it was getting late and Maritza's parents did not take kindly to calls coming in after eight. I discretely picked up the study-room phone and used my pyjama top to cover the voice piece. I wanted to know why Mama was still on the line. She was crying. Mama never cries. Koko was on the other end, which is not anything out of the ordinary because Mama and her mother speak daily. However this conversation was distinct. Koko, naturally loud and lively was speaking softly and so sternly with Mama. Koko said that Mama needed to stop acting like a spoilt child. Koko said that John, Daddy, was a man and that men do these things, these things with other women, but that it does not mean he does not care for Mama. Koko said that Mama lives a life that many women from where she comes from can only dream of and that she cannot jeopardize that by 'this crazy talk of divorce'.
"Divorce? You must never. Do not be selfish Gemina. You must think my child. Think. Use your head. Huh Gemina? Have you forgetting your responsibilities Gemina? You have two young children you must for them care. Two. Where do you think you will go if you leave John? Back home? Where Gemina? Where do you have to go? What will become of all of you? Huh? Nothing. Without him my girl, you is nothing."
Nothing. Such a strong word. Nothing. I wondered. I wondered about many things after Koko put down the phone and Mama walked up the stairs to slam her bedroom door. Absolutely nothing? Was Koko right? Would I have turned out to be nothing if Mama had not married Daddy? Would I not be the same Ofilwe I am now if Mama had never 'made it', made it out of the dreaded location? What if Mama had chosen love, where would I be now? What would I be now? Nothing? Instead of waking up to my cubed fruit, muesli and mixed nuts on a bed of low fat granadilla yoghurt would I begin my day by polishing the red stoep that juts out the front of Koko's two-roomed house? When bored would I pass the time by naming stones and creating homes for them in the wet dirt that surrounds Koko's self-made outside toilet or would I play Solitaire on Mama's laptop as I do now? Would I steal handfuls of sugar from the former mielie meal bucket under the sink and run out to lie on the grass to let the sweet crystals melt on my tongue or would I forget to give Daddy back his change, forget it was not mine for the keeping and forget I was not supposed to use it to buy honey and almond nougat bars from the health shop outside the estate gates. Instead of a decaf Café Late at Bedazzle on Thursday nights would I freeze my Sweet-Aid and save it for a really hot day? Would it matter to me who my clothes were named after? Would I go into respiratory distress at the thought of wearing garments with no names at all? Would it be the neighbourhood security guard's wandering eye or gunshots that draw ever closer in the night that make me uneasy? Would it be empty tarred roads or whistling dusty streets that I choose to travel?

Fat on the sides of the knees is far away from the vital organs, which makes it harmless from a health perspective. The problem sets in when you wear shorts or outfits that reveal this adipose tissue.
Instant feelings of self-consciousness have a tendency to crop up in this case, which can leave you frustrated. Losing this fat is not complicated, but you do need to have discipline.
While it's not possible to spot reduce, a solid workout plan coupled with dietary changes allows you to burn excess fat from all over your body. Toning and tightening the muscles found near the knees will give you a leaner look as you lose weight.
Step 1
Exercise at low to moderate intensity for 30 or more minutes, five days a week, to burn fat in the knees and body.
This intensity level encourages your body to burn fat rather than just carbohydrates.
You will know you are at low to moderate intensity when you reach 50 to 70 percent of your maximum heart rate or when you can talk without much effort while exercising.
Do any cardiovascular exercise that you enjoy such as brisk walking, jumping rope or jogging on a treadmill.
Step 2
Restrict your intake of calorie-dense beverages. Soda, beer, wine, slushies, sweetened teas and processed fruit punch all have a high amount of calories that often get overlooked when weight loss is an issue.
Replace all of these drinks with water and diet beverages to further promote fat loss on the sides of your knees.
Step 3
Weight train or use your body weight to strengthen the muscles around the knees such as the hamstrings and quadriceps.
Although this won't technically burn knee fat, it will help improve their appearance. Exercises that target the knee area include single leg squats, leg presses and dumbbell side lunges.
Or do the stiff-legged barbell deadlift by holding a barbell or set of dumbbells in your hands, bending your knees and lowering the weight toward your feet.
Return to the starting position and repeat for a total of 12 to 15 repetitions. Do another set if possible.
An example of targeted strengthening exercises that can help tone your legs while consistent aerobic exercise can help fight fat on all areas of your body.
To perform a lunge, grasp a dumbbell in each hand to increase muscular strength in your legs. While in a shoulder-width stance, straighten your back, tighten your abs and face forward.
Step about 2 feet forward with one foot, and bend both knees until your legs form a 90-degree angle. Don't allow your hind knee to touch the floor, or your front knee to go out farther than your toes.
Hold this position for one count and return to the original position. Repeat the lunge with your other leg. Perform 10 lunges with each foot for three total sets.
Stand with your feet hip-width apart with your back straight and your abdominal muscles tight. Looking forward, bend at your knees and force your buttocks out behind you.
Continue squatting until your thighs are almost parallel to the ground. Hold this position for one count before returning to your original position.
To create an advanced version of this exercise, hold a barbell behind your head and rest it on your shoulders or hold a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height. Perform three sets of 10 repetitions.
Leg Extensions
Perform leg extensions on a leg extension machine at a local fitness facility or perform this exercise with a dumbbell at home.
To perform a dumbbell leg extension, sit on the edge of a chair with your knees bent, back straight and abdominal muscles tight. Hold the dumbbell between your feet with a firm grip.
Slowly raise your bent knees straight up into the air and straighten your legs out in front of you. Slowly bend at the knees to return to the original position. Perform three sets of 10 repetitions of this exercise.


text: I started noticing a faint squeeking sound from the big fan in my new mac pro. It has run flawlessly the first weeks, this just started now. Anyone have any advice on how to fix this? Can I take it out and spray it with WD-50 or something? Anyone know how to get the fan out?
