Get the latest tips & apps for your Smartphone
What the iPhone 5S and the Moto X Have in Common

Over the last couple of weeks, I've been using a Moto X on loan from Motorola. It is not my favorite smartphone–that distinction still goes to the HTC One–but it's the best software experience I've ever seen on an Android handset. I've been thinking about this in light of Apple's iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C announcements on Tuesday. Though I personally prefer Android, what I've always appreciated about the iPhone is how it wastes nothing. There are no gimmicky features or tech specs that only exist for bragging rights. Everything in the iPhone is there to help the user–or as Jony Ive says, to make the technology disappear. The Moto X is the rare Android phone that feels the same way. Unlike so many other Android devices, the Moto X doesn't have any junkware or useless gimmicks. The phone comes out of the box with a practically clean home screen, and gently highlights a few of its most helpful features. Compare that to HTC, whose home screen includes an non-removable news ticker, or to Samsung, whose "S Voice" virtual assistant tries to eclipse the vastly superior Google voice search. The Moto X feels less bloated. If you're an Android purist, this might sound familiar. Google has offered its own bloatware- and clutter-free "Nexus" phones for years, and now offers "Google Play Editions" of the Galaxy S4 and HTC One that strip away all the tweaks and gimmicks. The difference with the Moto X is that all the major wireless carriers are actually selling it. That hasn't always been true with Google's Nexus phones, and you can't even buy the Google Play Edition HTC One or Samsung Galaxy S4 without paying an unsubsidized price of $600 for the One, or $650 for S4. Apple Also, Moto X doesn't just use a stock version of Android. It uses a better version, adding to Google's operating system in ways that make the phone more useful. Some of those tweaks resemble the very things that Apple is doing in its latest iPhone. For example,

Drill rigs and production platforms present a difficult challenge for network support personnel. When a router or firewall located on a distant petroleum production facility becomes unresponsive, NOC personnel need to fix the problem immediately in order to avoid downtime, but the remote location of the site often makes a quick response somewhat problematic. Fortunately, WTI's RSM-8R8 Remote Site Managers can drastically simplify the task of dealing with network problems on remote drill rigs, production platforms and support vessels.
When network equipment cabinets on drill rigs, production platforms and support vessels include an RSM-8R8 Remote Site Manager, support personnel can quickly establish an out-of-band connection to the RSM-8R8 via broadband satellite, dial-up or 3G/4G modem and gain instant access to power reboot and console port command functions to deal with network issues without even leaving the office. Once a secure, out-of-band connection to the RSM-8R8 is established, support personnel can remotely reboot unresponsive routers or firewalls or connect to a console port on a malfunctioning device in order to change configuration parameters or run diagnostic/troubleshooting routines.
In addition to simplifying the process of dealing with network problems at remote drill rigs and production platforms, the RSM-8R8 can also help administrators to take a more proactive approach to managing remote network elements by monitoring conditions and events in distant equipment cabinets and providing immediate notification when a potential complication is detected. When high rack temperatures, unresponsive devices, excessive invalid access attempts, power supply irregularities and other signs of trouble are observed, the RSM-8R8 can provide immediate notification via email, text message or SNMP trap and also log the event for future review. This provides network administrators with a quick "heads up" before small problems turn into big ones and also creates an auditable record that can be used to diagnose recurring issues at the remote site.
WTI's RSM-8R8 Remote Site Manager provides NOC personnel with a vital tool for dealing with complications at distant drill rigs, production platforms and support vessels immediately, without the need for a physical visit to the remote site.

How to Wear a Hat (Caps)
So today I want to explain how to put on hats, specifically caps.
First, an example of what NOT to do…
Take a look at this.
The following two points are the reasons as to why this style just doesn t work.
・He's wearing it too tightly
・The color is just solid and plain
So let's break down these points one by one.
・He's wearing it too tightly
When you wear the cap this tightly it makes the shape of your head bulge out,
and overall it gives off the impression of roundness and it makes you look
Additionally, when you wear your cap that low, it hides your eyebrows and your
expression doesn't come across, and a more stern look becomes emphasized.
Because of that,use hats more as something to "add on top" rather than to "put
For your reference,
The pictures below are points where wearing a hat doesn't make the shape of
your ahead look round.
Practical examples
No matter how you wear it, it's best if you don't push down the brim of the hat.
Also/again, if you're into hip hop/street fashion, let s be conscious about pushing
the brim of the cap upward.
On the other hand, if you push up the brim of the cap when you're wearing the
cap backwards, it pinches the head so you're not limited to what's written above.
・The hat is plain and solid colored.
Wearing a plain and solid colored hat also emphasizes this element and
appearance of roundness.
If there's any embroidered design such as a logo, mark, patterns etc, the eyes are
naturally attracted to the designs and decreases that general roundness.
I'll be very happy if you take this reference to heart.

The EU is putting EUR 4 million towards a research project at University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) to improve ways of cleaning therapeutic proteins and training urgently needed experts, a press release said Thursday (October 12, 2017). Tiny changes in the complex molecular structure of cancer cells can occur in the production of modern cancer medication and render it ineffective or dangerous for patients.
New medication to treat cancer
Therapeutic proteins are groups of new, highly-effective medicines to treat cancer patients. The molecules are far bigger than conventional substances and have more complex chemical compositions. Prof. Dr. Hartmut Schlüter, from UKE's Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine division, said: "During the production of therapeutic proteins, by-products that are chemically very similar to therapeutic proteins are produced in many cases." However, these by-products are often ineffective and can be life-threatening in rare cases. Thus, therapeutic proteins have to be scrutinised closely to remove unwanted by-products.
International teams of scientists
As part of the project entitled Analytics for Biologics (A4B), chemists from 17 institutions in Denmark, Austria, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Britain and Germany will develop new ways of cleaning therapeutic proteins and special mass spectrometric techniques for recognising and determining the amounts. Developed and managed by Schlüter, UKE's project will receive EUR 500,000 of the total funds. Schlüter pointed out: "Due to the composition and cleansing of therapeutic proteins, the chemical analysis of such proteins is one of the most complex tasks in bio-analytics and biotechnology. The project will develop methods for analysing and cleansing therapeutic proteins as part of Ph.D theses and to train people in the associated graduates school as experts in the field of therapeutic proteins."
Lowering costs
Improved cleansing methods would raise patient safety and lower production costs, according to experts. Methods developed during the project could be used to learn more about pharmacokinetic studies on how to improve the effectiveness of therapeutic proteins, experts say.

How to Make a Guillotine for School
Photos.com/Photos.com/Getty Images
Guillotines are an execution device with a wooden base, a sharp blade and a hole for a person's head to go. The blade drops down to decapitate the person. This method of execution was most popular in France during the French Revolution but was adopted by other countries as well.
Fake versions have been used as Haunted House and Halloween props, and smaller versions have even been used to trim cigars. A fake guillotine makes a useful visual aide for reports about execution styles or historical weapons.
Make the base of the guillotine. Make a square with four of the 2-foot long plywood pieces. Layer the top and bottom pieces over the others and nail them together with the hammer.
Build the sides of the guillotine using the 5-foot long pieces of wood. Place two pieces 1 inch apart on the left side of the base and nail down. Do the same for the right side. The space in between the two pieces is where the blade and headrest will fit, so don't place them too close together.
Cut a cardboard rectangle 1-1/2 feet wide and 2 feet tall using the utility knife. Cut a circle in the top centre of the cardboard for a head.
Cut another piece of cardboard for the blade. Make the piece 1-1/2 feet wide and about 1 foot tall. Angle the bottom cut to make it look more like a blade. Cut a small circle at the top centre for the rope.
Spray paint the cardboard pieces. Paint the knife a metallic grey and make the headrest any colour you want. Let the pieces dry then slide the head rest through the guillotine sides. Slide the blade through the sides and let it rest at the base until you attach the rope.
Place the last piece of plywood flat on the top of the guillotine and hammer to the sides. Screw in the loop at the top and thread the rope through the loop and down to the blade. Tie the rope to the small hole at the top of the blade. Pull the rope so the blade is at the top of the guillotine. Tape it to the back of the side or hold it until you are ready to demonstrate the device.
- Wear safety goggles while hammering and spray painting.
- This is meant to be a toy. Nothing metallic or sharp should be substituted.

When I See It
The aggregate plan activity, including net expense of $18 million in 2007, $34 million in 2006, and $237 million in 2005, and related disclosures are not material to us as of December 31, 2007 and we have not provided the disclosures generally required by SFAS No. 158.
10-k annual financial statement for fiscal year ending 12/31/2007
for Sprint Nextel Corporation
That, for pension funds that with an aggregate near $1.4 billion would easily rank Sprint Nextel within the top 25 S&P 500 companies ranked by pension size. Suggesting that if all companies with smaller pension plans could get away with the same shrug at GAAP, we'd see basic detail on pension plans for fewer than two dozen of the largest companies who are "required" to provide public disclosures (i.e., excluding such giants as Chrysler, who can get away with running off with taxpayer money without even disclosing who is on the corporate board).
A dodge useful to remember when speculating how much (or how little) transparency the new FASB rules on pension asset allocation disclosure standards might actually introduce. Nice bit of aurelian dreaming, but even the rare company or two that takes it to the limit isn't going to be any better understood than under existing standards. What next, FASB?–Shouldn't pension plans be required to disclose how much of their assets they've invested in Ponzi schemes? Like, when one of the top three credit rating agencies can repeatedly blunder atrociously its analysis of presently disclosed pension data without anybody caring, can we really expect GAAP's new twists to better inform the public? Pass the salt, please.
When I see it (which won't be for more than another year, at the earliest), I'll know what not to believe.
As usual, this is just my own personal opinion, not an official position, I'll get over it, yadda yadda yadda.

Tai chi basics, including "single basic moves" are employed to train for specific objectives, such as loosening, relaxing and strengthening joints, ligaments and tendons, all of which are exclusive offerings of the tai chi exercise system.
What I like about single basic moves is they give you something to do on your own. A good solo practice can be developed with single basics. I wrote before about the two kinds of memory you come across in practice: the learning a sequence of moves kind and remembering a deeper feeling of the movement. The first helps to develop the external appearance of movement and the latter develops the internal.
Doing a single move repeatedly is simpler than remembering long sequences of postures and transitions. But more than that, it allows you to narrow your focus to the internal which takes more concentration. Not that it needs that much, just that we don't typically ever focus on that. We're out of touch and out of practice with this learning path.
Do single basics and relax
Repeating a single move simplifies the process of moving. You have less to remember. You can relax and pay more attention to the feeling of the movement and not worry so much about what comes next, which you tend to do in remembering form sequences. Of course, sequence learning is part of the overall learning. Often that's all that is taught to beginners. Many of us remain beginners for years, in that case, because there is practically an infinite number of postures and transitions to learn. And knowing lots of sequences doesn't necessarily lead to a well-rounded knowledge base. We often lack knowledge of internal practices.
A meaning of internal
Different people will define internal in different ways according to their experience. Internal can be described in many ways depending on the context and the particular movements you're engaging. In the context of this post's topic, I describe it as narrowing focus down to the more intricate, or deeper, levels of movement. This practice always leads to the most minute motion deep in your whole being, not just your body. The body is where you point your attention to in the beginning of your practice. But you also have your mind, your "spirit" or "shen,' and your "Qi," or energy.
At some point a regular, sincere practice of focusing attention to deeper levels triggers changes in the quality of your movements. Your move may become bigger or more power may come with it. It's exponential, as in what I've heard my teacher, George Xu, say often "minimum effort, maximum results."
This idea defies what average people usually think. If your long-held thinking has grown static, shallow and relies on unexamined assumptions you'll have difficulty picking up on the more intrinsic details of taijiquan. Understanding this boils down to being free in your movement so that you will adjust to the constant flux of the energy of being alive. Let the qi move your body. Let the mind picture the move before you move at all. This might sound deep or even meaningless, but it fits with what I mean.
I'm simply referring to the "life force," referred to in tai chi circles, which is what practitioners are trying to connect with. You're not just learning moves and sets of moves. You're learning how to be alive in the present moment. You're learning how to feel the energy in any given moment.
Single basic moves can help bring you to that place in your practice. You become aware of something that you were not aware of before, or haven't been for a long time. New feeling appears even when you're not actually practicing anything at all—just going through daily life.
Qualities of Moving, or the "Flow"
You can focus on moving from a single point, but also on moving along a line—from feet to head and back, for example. It's like traveling along a conduit of energy. This is a more intricate view of the "flow" you hear people talk about to describe the feeling of energy moving.
For many the movement is rather broad—still more wai dan (external field), then nei dan (internal field). Both views are accurate but they have different outcomes, and different motivations. Wai dan describes a less-informed and less-formed view, which happens to be broad in perspective. Most people begin with this mindset.
Nei dan is deeper, revealing much more of the total scope of practice that is possible. It is deeper, less superficial. Wherever you are in your learning process, progress happens by keeping it simple and seeking deeper awareness of what constitutes any move.
I think single basics is a great way to immerse yourself into this area of learning. You should be able to take greater advantage of the overall benefits of taiji that is being talked about so much these days, from research findings to testimonials from practitioners.
Repeat and refine
Although single basics are repetitive, they are not repetitious, so to speak. You repeat a pattern, intent on refining, not on repeating it exactly the same way as before. Change is the key. "Changeability" as Master Xu puts it.
How do you refine? Pick out a particular locus and focus your attention on how you move there. Focus on the move itself and how you might alter it—make it smoother, rounder, less hesitant.
I would enjoy hearing about your results. Leave a comment!!

Deputy General Secretary of the Antigua and Barbuda Workers Union Chester Hughes has defended the call for an increase in pay for the nation's educators.
Last week President of the Antigua & Barbuda Union of Teachers (ABUT) Ashworth Azille said the union is committed to pursuing new negotiations with the government with the intention of securing an increase in salaries for teachers.
Hughes while speaking on Observer radio this morning said that teachers are pressed with a tedious task that does not match their pay cheque. He said that it is a serious issue and it must be addressed.
"I would want to agree with brother Ashworth Azille on the issue of wages and salaries because you have to look at whether of not people are working for a living wage or a minimum wage, many persons are working hard but are hardly taking out any money."
Meantime speaking on the Labour Day rally Hughes said that he was impressed with the turnout at Fryers Beach on Monday.

It's hard to remember hating anything as much as I hate Affinity; a bone-deep loathing for the faceless unknown and the concrete walls of my own DNA. Evie is a Shield: designed to kill in order to protect, and the Affinity Project have finally come for her. But Evie isn't ready for the sinister organisation to take control of her life, her body, her mind. She isn't ready to follow their rules about who may live and who must die - not when it condemns the innocent. She has one option: risk losing everything and everyone - including Jamie - and run.

An organization's culture is based on how it functions and expresses itself. It's a personality that has values expressed in its mission and what it does. Culture is also a collection of attitudes, both conscious and unconscious, formed through company processes and actions that influence what employees think and how they act.
So, what does it mean to have a "great" culture? A great culture is your organization's brand. It helps your organization attract and retain top talent. It nurtures employees so that they are more interested in their work. And, it helps make the entire organization run smoothly.
How do teams fit in? Great teams are built on personal bonds. And, it's personal bonds that increase each team member's engagement in within the organization. A Gallup study found that close work friendships boost employee satisfaction by 50%, while people with friends at work are more likely to be fully engaged with their job. When you cultivate great teams that work together and collaborate with other teams, you have the building blocks you need to create a great company culture.
Here are just a few actions you can take to get your teams to a point where they can have a powerful impact on your company's culture.
Model the organization's culture within teams
Back in 2012, Google's Project Aristotle set out to discover what makes teams effective. Their research found that influencing group norms was the key to improving teams. Essentially, when leaders model aspects of the company's expressed culture, it spreads that culture among team members.
For instance, one aspect of a company's stated culture may be that everyone is free to express themselves. This fosters creative thinking and breakthrough ideas. An effective way to build a great team is for the team leader to model that cultural aspiration by creating a zone of "psychological safety" within the group. When it's safe for group members to take risks, voice their opinions, and ask judgement-free questions, they can let their guard down and connect with other group members. This modeling of the organization's culture by the group leader has the impact of infusing the culture within the group, and ultimately throughout the company.
Discover what motivates your team members
You can try to motivate team members based on what you want them to do. Or, you can find out what motivates each person on the team and use that information to motivate them. When you know what your team is passionate about, you can connect with them on a deeply personal level. The effort you spend to get to know your team shows them that you actually care about them.
Pass the leadership baton
The leader is expected to lead. Why not switch things up a bit? Consider spreading leadership responsibilities among group members. Instead of leading a meeting, let someone else in the group lead the meeting. Rotate that responsibility around the group to give everyone the responsibility of leading the team.
Have an email-less day
One of the best ways to get team members, and different teams, to interact with one another is to ban email for a day. Try picking a day out of every month and make it an email-less day. If someone has a question or has to communicate a message, they'll have to get up and talk to their coworkers face to face. Sure, it will be a chatty day. But it will help build relationships within teams and across teams.
Focus on new hires
Almost by definition, new hires are not well-connected to the company's culture. They may appreciate the culture, but they aren't "living" it yet. That's why it's so important to surround them with a team that they can bond with. Teams becomes stronger as new hires absorb the team's culture, and with it, the company's culture.
Have more fun
Ditch the team-building exercises and have more fun. Get out and play games on a Friday afternoon. There are lots of things that teams can do. Consider softball, flag football, bowling, or even paintball. Think of fun ways that people can compete within a team as well as ways teams can compete with each other. Social events like these help employees create bonds that builds a sense of community within your organization.
Build great teams with food
Eating food is a communal activity. That's why eating together works to build teams. Instead of having pot-luck lunches and pizza Fridays, invest in providing Lunch as a Benefit (LaaB). When your team members have the opportunity to enjoy a free lunch on a daily basis, they have more occasions to have casual conversations that serve as the glue that bonds teams together.
The Google research mentioned above also found that employees who eat together tend to form larger networks by rotating eating companions. Leverage this research to build stronger teams and cross-team relationships by incentivizing your team members to pick a different group to eat with each week.
Whichever tactic you try—and you should try all of them—keep in mind that your strategy is to build great teams that support and maintain the culture of your organization.

Any casual visitor to the city wanting to find a high quality selection of street art need look no further than London's Brick Lane. It is the epicentre of street art in the city. Artists from all over the world and the UK come here to paint, safe in the knowledge that they will get an appreciative audience and a wide appeal.
This tour is designed for the casual visitor who doesn't have much time and just wants to catch a glimpse of some decent art without having to traipse through a whole load of unfamiliar areas.
Tour start – Aldgate East tube station (Hammersmith and City and District lines)
Tour End – Shoreditch High Street station (London Overground)
Tour length – 1-2 hours, dependant on how much pottering around you do.
From the tube station exit via the 'Whitechapel Gallery' side and turn left at the top of the steps. Head towards the junction with Osborne Street and turn left. Carry on past the Stolen Space gallery until you reach Brick Lane directly ahead. Keep going until you reach Heneage Street on the right.
Heneage Street
On Heneage Street there is a quaint little pub called the Pride of Spitalfields should the need for a pint arise. It's one of the only pubs left off Brick Lane and it's still retains a lot of charm. Walk down the street until you come to a little playground, look around and on the gable end of a row of buildings an impressive giant mural from Sheffield based artist Phlegm can be seen. On your way back to Brick Lane keep your eyes peeled for other street art you can spot.
Seven Stars Yard
Almost opposite the entrance to Heneage Street is the entrance to a little yard known as the Seven Stars named after the pub which used to be on the site. Through the little alley you'll be able to see some of the best paste up art in the city. Then in the yard itself it opens up into a space where a number of street art pieces can be seen. Towards the left hand side of the yard there are areas of wall which take the appearance of street canvasses. On the right hand side an 18th century building which dates from Huguenot times. That building used to be the home of the innkeeper of the old Seven Stars pub. Well before the current building was erected in the 1930's, a much older Huguenot building had existed. Although much of the art in the Yard is permissioned. Any art on the side of the old innkeepers house is not given its heritage status.
Princelet Street
Back on Brick Lane, head past the Brick Lane mosque and head towards Princelet Street. There look to the left and within a doorway can be seen a work by Stik which depicts a covered Stik figure holding hands with a non covered Stik figure. Called 'A couple holding hands in the street' It is very sweet and is a highly regarded piece by the local community. Recently this piece was included in a list of the Top 20 favourite pieces of British artworks.
Incidentally Princelet Street is also the former centre of the Huguenots who settled in the East End from France in the 1700s. The houses here are from this era and are quite unusual and worthy of greater exploration. If you are interested in the history of this area then try this free Walking Tour of the East End of London which covers the history in a bit more detail.
Hanbury Street
But for now we head back to Brick lane until we reach Hanbury Street. Turn left and you get straight into the heart of Spitalfields, right takes you into the heart of Whitechapel. This street is awash with art particularly along its length towards Spitalfields. For this tour though we are only interested in the art to the immediate right. Look down towards Whitechapel and dominating the view will be the giant Crane by Belgian artist ROA. This is another well loved community piece as evidenced by the local uproar that went on when Tower Hamlets council tried to cover it over with a banner just before 2012 Olympic Games.
Ely's Yard, The Truman Brewery
Continue down Brick Lane past the Truman Brewery. This section gets particularly busy during the weekend because of its street food and markets during the day and its bars and curry houses at night. The Truman Brewery is an excellent place for a detour should you want to take one. The yard at the back of the building can be accessed via Brick Lane through a little alley and is usually very vibrant with plenty of street art.
Pedley Street
Continue along Brick Lane until you come to the entrance to Pedley Street on the right. It's only an alley at this point leading towards a park known as Allen Gardens. Walk down towards the park and you'll see plenty of works. The building on the left covered in street art is actually the old Shoreditch station beyond which the space opens up and you'll be able to see a lot of graffiti covered walls. From this spot you'll also be able to see the entrance to the Nomadic Community Gardens just underneath the bridge which are well worth visiting if they are open.
Nomadic Community Gardens
The gardens are a must see if they are open. Still officially part of Pedley Street, they can be found just beyond the railway tunnel where lots of art can be seen against the path leading along the railway line. The gardens are a community initiative and have been developed on land owned by Network Rail. They have given over the space for use by the community and it has a very eclectic feel with buildings having been made out of found materials. Inside you can see street art, allotments and you can even get a coffee. It's a strange and special place.
Grimsby Street and Cheshire Street
In order to visit the streets of Grimsby and Cheshire you can either double back and head to Brick Lane and carry on. Or, from the Nomadic Community Gardens, you can carry on, over the graffiti riddled footbridge over the railtrack. Either way you'll find them pretty quick. From the Brick Lane end you just carry on up, take the next right into Grimsby Street to the end and then walk back along Cheshire Street back to pretty much where you started. Both streets will often have some good pieces to see and so it's worth having an explore.
Sclater Street
Upon returning to Brick Lane cross the road and head up Sclater Street. The spot has in the past been a real hub for street art but now has become a real target for the developers. You can still see some great spots though and directly in front of you will be an old looking warehouse building with lots of hidden gems on it. Beyond the warehouse Sclater Street carries on and the street is full of art. Have a wander along and then head back taking the little spur along Cygnet Street towards Bacon Street.
Bethnal Green Road
Once at Brick Lane turn left and walk to the main road junction with Bethnal Green Road. This section of the Lane is full of coffee bars and as such is a good place to find some refreshment. It's also a good place to come when the shops are shut because a lot of the art here has been painted on shutters which only come down when the businesses have packed up for the day.
At the junction turn left and walk along Bethnal Green Road. It is likely that you'll be able to spot some stret art on the other side of the road which marks the start of Redchurch Street (which is a tour in itself). Continue down and you'll come to the junction of Sclater Street which is a busy spot as there is often another market here. Look across the road and you'll see the giant ROA hedgehog poking out from Chance Street on the other side of the road.
The walk ends just beyond here at the Shoreditch High Street station which is just by the very cool Box Park one of Londons funkiest shopping centres. There you can get a coffee and explore the shops should you so wish.
So that's it, a whistle stop your of Brick Lane certainly the key spot to find quality street art in the city. If your interested in getting a guided version of this or any of the other tours, give me a shout using the form below.
Finally for some more great street art tours try the outdoor street art gallery of Dulwich, A Street Art Tour of Hackney Wick and Fish Island and A Street Art Tour of Shoreditch. You might also be interested in checking out some of the street art of Camden which is beginning to establish quite a vibrant scene.

Liverpool's close-season outlay was greater than any of their Premier League rivals, adding Alisson, Fabinho, Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri to a team that reached the Champions League final last term. We have little things we have to think about, if it's a risk or not, if we take the risk or not. If you are to look across the rest of the so-called top 6, Manchester City's main acquisition was the record fee paid for Mahrez from Leicester for a position where City already have a wealth of attacking options on their books. That's the plan - to really go for it.
These displays, along with last season's top four and Champions League final finish have set a high standard for Liverpool both within the club and outside of it, though, Klopp is well aware that although many tip his side to end this campaign as Premier League champions, they still carry the moniker of underdogs. I thought about it for the pre-season, but now we have to be in this championship moment. At the end, I believe we will have a fantastic football team on the pitch. "Joel did parts of training yesterday, like Joe did, so we will see how they are today".
Pellegrini, who makes his league bow as Hammers boss at Liverpool tomorrow, said: "Maybe it is one of the most hard things for a manager, because all of them want to play and with better players, more problem". Do we go to finals again? I don't think about that because it's not what we have now, it's about what we make of it, how often we deliver, how often we bring ourselves in a mood to fight against all these Premier League teams who all want to have our points.
When asked what the 25-year-old needs to do to make an impact on the Premier League, Klopp told reporters: "Just be yourself in this case because he is a very calm person, very laid-back during the week".
Star U.S. witness Gates testifies he committed crimes with Manafort
But she said she was under the impression that Mr Manafort had been directing his deputies' actions and "knew what was going on". Gates also testified he and Manafort knew it was a crime because they had been notified by Manafort's accountants in emails.
"We are still Rocky Balboa, not Ivan Drago", said Klopp. That must be our attitude.
Klopp, who took over at Liverpool job in 2015 after guiding Borussia Dortmund to two Bundesliga titles, says he expects his players to fight to the last breath for the league title.
"We didn't reach anything so far". In the league it's exactly the same.
"It is like scientists without trying to see if it really works".

While there are many unique environmental monitoring applications and sensor/mooring configurations, all buoy deployments require attention to detail to proceed smoothly and with minimal issues. The checklist below discusses basic items to check vital to the stability and longevity of any NexSens buoy system:
Physical Inspection
- Clean and greased O-rings must be present on all threaded connections to the buoy. Check the following:
- All equipped X2-CB or iSIC-CB blank port plugs and each port receptacle must have an o-ring present
b. Each sensor cable connection must also have a clean plug (and receptacle if applicable) o-ring.
2. Verify that all sensor and plug port connections are dry and that none of the 8-pin connectors or sockets are bent, corroded, or moist.
3. Check that all sensor and plug port connections are hand-tight- any time a new connection is made and periodically during deployment, re-check all connections are secure.
4. For iSIC-CB buoys with RTU-x telemetry units, check the following:
a. The two interior o-rings are making continuous contact with the surrounding enclosure around the entire unit.
b. The COM port receptacle o-ring is in place and the blank plug o-ring is properly seated in its groove.
c. When tightened, the blank plug o-ring is not warped (as shown in the following image), and remains seated with the plug.
Data Logger Vent
5. Most iSIC/X2-CB buoy data loggers manufactured in March 2017 or later will have a removable cap protecting the equipped vent from impact damage. Verify that this vent is secure, clean, and void of any cracks. Any damage to the vent risks water intrusion into the sensitive logger electronics and system batteries housed below.
6. Verify that the any solar beacons are securely tightened down to the solar tower plate using a 9/16″ socket.
7. Verify that the solar tower plate is securely tightened down to the top of the solar tower using a 9/16″ socket.
8. Verify that any deployment pipes (912M, 914M- if equipped), are securely tightened to the 2 or 4″NPT threads of the buoy.
a. It is highly recommended to use a strap wrench to gain an additional 1/2 to full turn on the pipe past hand tight.
b. It is recommended to attach a backup tether between the deployment pipe and buoy frame to protect the sensor/pipe assembly should a storm event cause it to loosen.
9. If deploying in brackish or saltwater environments, ensure a sacrificial anode is securely installed on both the instrument cage as well as the buoy frame. Inspect these regularly and replace as needed.
10. Ensure that the instrument cage is securely attached to the buoy frame. If any sensors are mounted to the cage, it is highly recommended to install a CB-CCA cage clamp to prevent rotation during deployment from stressing any cables. In rough water, welding the cage to the frame is advised.
11. Secure and protect all sensor cables.
a. Attach separate tethers or strain-relief cables such that the sensor communication cable and buoy connectors bear no weight.
b. It is advised to install cable armoring (one option is to slit 3/8″ ID EPDM rubber hose and secure with cable ties) where a cable contacts or could potentially wear against irregular surfaces on the buoy or mooring equipment during deployment.
Power/ Communications Check (Perform on land prior to deployment)
- With all sensors connected to the X2 or iSIC-CB, connect the 6-pin solar panel plug to the SOLAR port on the logger and verify the internal batteries are sufficiently charged.
- Wait until a prescribed sample/transmission period to ensure data is coming through as expected.
- Verify that the reported battery voltage is at least 12.0V, the minimum requirement for most telemetry units and sensors.
- Battery voltage can also be measured using a DVM as explained here.
- Make sure the solar beacon is powered on by holding the power button on the the IR remote included in the X2/iSIC-CB maintenance kit for four seconds. Additional remote command information can be viewed here.
- When placed in strong sunlight, confirm that the battery voltage for the system rises. A slight downward trend in system voltage may indicate a solar panel or solar regulator issue that will need resolved before an unattended deployment. It is important to keep all three solar panels clean during operation to ensure battery recharging is optimal.

What are some common landlord and tenant rights? A tenant has the right to expect certain levels of maintenance, safety and security. A landlord has the right to expect that the tenant should not abuse the property and that the tenant will pay the rent on time.
About 40 states actually have landlord tenant laws, Wisconsin being one of them. I think the common issues are the same with almost all of the states.
The first one from a tenant's perspective - tenants certainly have the right to having a clean and habitable property to live in. They should expect that the property is being maintained according at least to the building codes, if not reasonable standards of the market. They should be able to have that expectation of habitable property in good maintenance.
With safety and security, there is only so much the landlord can do, but I think most properties are very wary of talking about the property being secure or having security because of the liabilities that go along with that. Nonetheless, everyone certainly has a level of expectation of safety where they live.
From the landlord's side, you would be expecting to have a resident that meets their obligations to the landlord. Those obligations are such things as payment of the rent on time, use but not abuse of the property, being good to their neighbors and being good neighbors to both the people around them and in the community. We tell tenants three things: 1) pay your rent on time 2) take care of the property and 3) don't disturb your neighbors. And when something goes wrong, call us. It's our job to resolve the disaster.

For all of you who weren't following the ins and outs of the film festivals earlier in the year, there is one film, in particular, that needs to be seen by all people: Good Hair. I mentioned the film (check it out because my girl over at Brooklyn Sista has a cameo!) in a earlier post about the natural hair blog, The Coil Review. However, it needs to be discussed again until Black women are embraced, accepted, and loved.
Chris Rock made a documentary inspired by his daughter's ostensibly innocent question, "Why don't I have good hair?" Now, for those of us in the know this is a loaded question with eons and eons of history behind it. While, I have been relaxing my hair every couple of months since I was 18, I wore my hair natural like Malia and Sasha Obama until I headed off to college on the East Coast where I could no longer be under the protective hand of my mother and her stylist.
Suffice to say, (I could publish an entire book about Black women and our hair), this is going to spark some passionate debate. For those not fluent in the debate, there are some good primers out there. Some of the best articles I have read in mainstream media are those from Salon: Glenn Greenwald's blog on Salon.com has a post, and there's a review and interview with Chris Rock all evidence to the importance of having allies in the struggle. Additionally, check out Feministing's post Access to Natural Hair.
"The Combahee River Collective statement says that "[i]f Black women were free, it would mean that everyone else would have to be free since our freedom would necessitate the destruction of all the systems of oppression."

Even the smallest cabins (approximately 151 square feet) on Westerdam don't feel cramped, with a tasteful decor in light colors that gives them an airy feel. All cabins come with a desk and chair, small coffee table, bedside nightstands each with two drawers, plug in hair dryer and 5X magnifying makeup mirror, safe (large enough for a small tablet computer), bathrobes for use onboard and a video on-demand flat-screen TV system with lots of movie choices and a smaller selection of TV shows (mostly cooking, travel and BBC nature shows, though "Game of Thrones" is an option). Live TV is restricted to several news channels and two sports channels. Each room has two 115 and two 220 voltage outlets, as well as at least four USB ports -- two by the desk and one on each side of the bed.
All cabins aside from inside rooms also have a love seat or convertible sofa, either a twin or double depending on room category.

Gotham's third season had one or two rocky episodes. But, for the most part, it's been pretty solid. I'd dare even say it contained some of the best episodes in the show's run thus far. Unfortunately, one of those rocky episodes I mentioned was the mid-season finale, Beware The Green-Eyed Monster. For a season that built up so much momentum and hype, Beware The Green-Eyed Monster felt like a huge step in the wrong direction. However, that may change with the upcoming mid-season premiere episode, Mad City: Ghosts, when a familiar face returns to Gotham. Let's take a look.
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJMOlgssyu0[/embedyt]
That's right folks, Jerome Valeska is back in town. Jerome (Cameron Monaghan) was a villain from season one, who became a fan favorite in season two. The way he acted made everyone think that this character would one day be The Joker. However, the show shut down those rumors right quick when Galavan killed Jerome early in season two. As a result, many fans ended up outraged by this and who could blame them? Monaghan's portrayal was perfect. It felt like a crime in itself not to make him The Joker. He was the closest we got to another Mark Hamill. You know that movie where Jared Leto dressed up like a juggalo? I didn't buy that. Monaghan was the real deal.
But it seems as if Mad City: Ghosts is pulling a fast one bringing this character back to us. Maybe Indian Hill had something to do with him being alive as well. After all, we all thought Fish Mooney (Jada Pinkett-Smith) was dead until she showed up at the end of season two. I just hope they don't get rid of him after one episode. Also, according to IMDB, it seems Mad City: Ghosts will also introduce us to James Gordon's (Ben Mackenzie) uncle. I would assume that was his uncle at the end of Red Queen speaking to Kathryn (Leslie Hendrix). Whatever the case, this upcoming episode looks to provide plenty of mystery and intrigue for loyal viewers. I just hope the episode can fill the void left by Beware The Green-Eyed Monster.
We can all stop speculating come January 16th when Gotham's newest episode, Mad City: Ghosts, premieres on FOX.

Project report for Fruitstall & Juiceshop
Project report for Fruitstall and Juice shop is as follows
India has replaced China as the most favorable market for retail expansion, supported by a fast-growing economy, increasing consumption rates, rising urbanizing population and a burgeoning middle class. The total market size of Indian retail sector was estimated to be around US $650 billion in 2018, thereby registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 7.5 percent since 2000. The retail industry is expected to grow to US $1.6 trillion by 2026, registering a CAGR of about 10 percent. However, modern trade is expected to grow at a rate of 20 percent per annum and traditional trade is expected to grow at a rate of 10 percent per annum.The Indian retail sector is still in its nascent stage. The economic liberalisation policiesand globalisation had ignited country's economy for faster growth. The simultaneous act ofliberalisation of the Indian economy and globalisation triggered an accelerated industrialgrowth across the spectrum of all market segments in India..India has one of the largest agricultural markets in the world and fruits are a primary product.Vegetables, fruits, and grocery play a vital role for the existence of people and also avery influencing role in the economy. Though fresh fruit, vegetable, and grocery retail has beenconsidered as a very low-margin business, the market potential has attracted Indian businesshouses and corporate, driving the forays through different models like single-format, multi-format or integrated urban-rural model . n increase in preventive eating habits and an overall rise in health consciousness have been creating new growth opportunities in the juice bar industry, evidenced by the fact that the industry size continues to grow. Juice and smoothie bars are a USD 2.2 billion industry nationwide, and that's thanks in part to how millennials have embraced juicing as a lifestyle. The juice bar industry size will undoubtedly continue to grow over the next several years. Smoothie bars, realising the business potential are sneaking into small sites that other caterers cannot reach. Packaging healthy punch to boot, many brands are coming up to serve the health freaks.
Product / Services & process
We offer a fruitshop which will have all variety of fresh fruits and also at the same time a juice bar with all type of fresh juices served with utmost freshness and quality.
Market potential & Strategy
Fresh fruit juice business or shop is a great opportunity for entrepreneurs trying to start a new business with low investment. Changing lifestyle and demand for hygienic and clean fruit juices is creating a growing demand for fresh fruit juices in India. The fresh fruit juice industry in India is largely unorganised and an untapped industry. Hence, many new entrants have now been able to quickly create large business and brands like RAWpressery and PaperBoat. The investment in capital equipment and raw material could be low or high depending on the scale of business. But, overall the fruit juice business has low capital investment requirement to quickly break-even, owing to high profit margins.In India with increasing awareness about deteriorating health due to carbonated drinks, the cola market has been posting declining revenues over the past few years and the market share is expected to decline further in the coming five years. Increasing awareness on the health effects of carbonated drinks has certainly made some consumers rethink about the consumption of colas. While carbonates grew in India at 12.8 percent CAGR from 2010-15, the juice segment grew at 27.3 percent CAGR over the same period, KPMG states.However, the unorganised market of fruit juices sold at smaller roadside outlets has been in existence for about a couple of decades. But there has always been concerns on the quality, hygiene and the amount of sugar added by the roadside outlets.
