Whether you're the occasional tourist, or you regularly leave the nation for work tours, even the most seasoned expert travelers can come to be flummoxed when it comes to using your iOS tool without incurring unforeseen charges on your phone costs. So, what can you do as an iPad proprietor to make sure that your readily available options are explored as well as marked off prior to you begin your trip?
Do you have access to Wi-Fi?
Before you utilize your iPad globally, the initial thing you need to do is to turn information wandering off. This will maintain your iPad from utilizing information completely, also when connected to a neighborhood network. To switch off data roaming, open up the Setups Application on your iPad as well as select Cellular-> Transform Data Strolling off-if it isn't currently. When Cellular Information as well as Information Roaming are off, the cellular-data symbol shouldn't appear in the standing bar.
In the occasion that you have to utilize data, you could closely check your usage, by scrolling down to the listing of your applications, and see the amount of information it uses when connected to a cellular connection. This is found straight beneath the app listings. An additional good tip for keeping track of information usage is to reset stats at the start of your journey. This is discovered at the end of the cellular area web page. Furthermore, among the simplest means to save on information use is to use Wi-Fi making cost-free calls. This could be done over FaceTime audio, Skype as well as Google Voice, simply to identified as a few.
Is your iPad Cellular Enabled?
If you possess a cellular made it possible for iPad of any type of range, you SIM card is already opened. This is specifically practical if you thinking of purchasing/using a neighborhood SIM card for information usage. When utilizing your iPad over a cellular network, it is essential to recognize the limits as well as expenses associated with said use. There are steps that you could take to protect yourself from unforeseen costs/charges when traveling abroad.
The primary action you ought to take is to contact your regional carrier. They should have the ability to address any kind of concerns you may have. Nevertheless, visiting their site for info might confirm simply as worthwhile, without the extra time investment associated with a telephone call. In my experience, by going to the website initially, I commonly really felt a lot more prepared to make a decision concerning global roaming than by talking with my very own provider. If you really feel the your rep is merely checking out from a manuscript and isn't really completely versed in just what options you have offered, demand speaking to a person that is better furnished. Carrier usually do not have a lot of options to pick from with respect to international traveling. Usually, it boils down to exactly how much data you need while away.
You can always purchase a cellular information prepare for your iPad. Additionally, if you have an iPad with an Apple SIM, you could purchase cellular data plans from choose carriers in more than 90 nations and areas all over the world. After arrival at your location, you could after that pick a cellular data plan right from your iPad settings to get connected.
What must you do when you reach your destination?
- If you have to utilize information upon getting to your location, as well as you already have set up a worldwide data plan with your service provider before leaving, you could now turn on data roaming. This can be discovered on your iPad, in Settings-> Cellular Data-> Cellular Data Options.
- If your iPad has an Apple SIM, you can enroll in a data plan with choose carriers because nation. To do this Visit Settings-> Cellular Data and select a plan that fits your requirements. More information can be located here.
- To use/activate an in your area purchased SIM card, just remove your current SIM card, and change it with the recently bought card. Always remember to keep your old SIM in a risk-free location to switch out upon returning home.
Troubleshooting International Data Roaming issues.
- If your iPad displays the No Service icon in the standing bar-first verify that Data Strolling is undoubtedly switched on. If it is, after that comply with up with your information company to make sure that your international roaming plan for your account has been activated. A lot of worldwide plans last for One Month, so it's a smart idea to have it go live numerous days prior to you need it-especially if your trip is much less than 30 days.
- Incorrect day and time problems are commonly solved by making certain the Automatic Time Zone function is activated. To inspect your iPad go to Settings-> General-> Date and Time-> Set Automatically.
- Allow your iPad an opportunity to stop briefly as well as then search once again for the best readily available network by turn on Airplane Mode for 30 secs, and afterwards transforming it off again.
- Manually pick a network by opening up Settings-> Carrier-> Transform off automated. After a few minutes available networks will certainly show up, as well as could be selected for use.
Make sure you have the ideal electrical power electrical outlet for the Nation you are visiting.
This is just one of those pointers that makes best sense, however can be quickly neglected while planning a trip-especially for very first time international tourists. Depending upon where you are traveling, the electrical outlets will certainly more than likely be different after that here in the US. A fast look for electric outlets in the nation you are taking a trip to will provide you with a selection of economical choices. Additionally, Apple markets a Globe Tourist Adapter Set that fits different electrical outlets around the world.

A Battery chargers, or recharger is a device used to put energy into a secondary cell or rechargeable battery by forcing an electric current through it.
The charging protocol (how much voltage or current for how long, and what to do when charging is complete, for instance) depends on the size and type of the battery being charged. Some battery types have high tolerance for overcharging (i.e., continued charging after the battery has been fully charged) and can be recharged by connection to a constant voltage source or a constant current source, depending on battery type. Simple chargers of this type must be manually disconnected at the end of the charge cycle, and some battery types absolutely require, or may use a timer, to cut off charging current at some fixed time, approximately when charging is complete. Other battery types cannot withstand over-charging, being damaged (reduced capacity, reduced lifetime) ,over heating or even exploding. The charger may have temperature or voltage sensing circuits and a microprocessor controller to safely adjust the charging current and voltage, determine the state of charge, and cut off at the end of charge.
Slow battery chargers might take many hours to complete a charge. High-rate chargers might restore most capability abundant quicker, however high rate chargers may be quite some battery varieties will tolerate. Such batteries need active observation of the battery to shield it from overcharging. electrical vehicles ideally would like high-rate chargers. For public access, installation of such chargers and therefore the distribution support for them is a problem within the projected adoption of electrical cars.
The charger has three key functions
- Getting the charge into the battery (Charging)
- Optimising the charging rate (Stabilising)
- Knowing when to stop (Terminating)
Basic Charging Methods
- Constant Voltage A constant voltage charger is basically a DC power offer that in its simplest kind might carries with it a step down electrical device from the mains with a rectifier to produce the DC voltage to charge the battery. Such easy styles ar usually found in low-cost car battery chargers. The lead-acid cells used for cars and backup power systems usually use constant voltage chargers. additionally, lithium-ion cells usually use constant voltage systems, though these sometimes ar a lot of complicated with added circuitry to shield each the batteries and therefore the user safety.
- Constant Current Constant current chargers vary the voltage they apply to the battery to keep up a continuing current flow, switch off once the voltage reaches the amount of a full charge. This style is typically used for nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride cells or batteries.
- Taper Current This is charging from a crude unregulated constant voltage supply. it's not a controlled charge as in V Taper higher than. the present diminishes because the cell voltage (back emf) builds up. there's a heavy danger of damaging the cells through overcharging. To avoid this the charging rate and period ought to be restricted. appropriate for SLA batteries only.
- Pulsed charge Pulsed chargers feed the charge current to the battery in pulses. The charging rate (based on the common current) are often exactly controlled by varied the breadth of the pulses, generally regarding one second. throughout the charging method, short rest periods of twenty to thirty milliseconds, between pulses permit the chemical actions within the battery to stabilise by equalising the reaction throughout the majority of the conductor before recommencing the charge. this permits the reaction to stay pace with the speed of inputting the voltage. it's additionally claimed that this technique will reduce unwanted chemical reactions at the conductor surface like gas formation, crystal growth and passivation. (See additionally pulsed Charger below). If needed, it's additionally possible to sample the circuit voltage of the battery throughout the remainder amount.
The optimum current profile depends on the cell chemistry and construction.
- Burp chargingAlso referred to as Reflex or Negative Pulse Charging used in conjunction with pulse charging, it applies a very short discharge pulse, generally two to three times the charging current for five milliseconds, throughout the charging suspension to depolarize the cell. These pulses dislodge any gas bubbles that have designed up on the electrodes throughout quick charging, speeding up the stabilisation method and therefore the charging method. the discharge and diffusion of the gas bubbles is thought as "burping". controversial claims are created for the enhancements in each the charge rate and therefore the battery lifetime furthermore as for the removal of dendrites created attainable by this method. the smallest amount which will be said is that "it doesn't harm the battery".
- IUI ChargingThis is a recently developed charging profile used for quick charging commonplace flooded lead acid batteries from particular manufacturers. it's not appropriate for all lead acid batteries. at first the battery is charged at a relentless (I) rate till the cell voltage reaches a predetermined worth – ordinarily a voltage regarding that at that gassing happens. This initial a part of the charging cycle is understood because the bulk charge part.
- Trickle chargeTrickle charging is meant to complete the self discharge of the battery. Continuous charge. future constant current charging for standby use. The charge rate varies in step with the frequency of discharge. Not appropriate for a few battery chemistries, e.g. NiMH and lithium, that are susceptible to harm from overcharging. In some applications the charger is meant to modify to trickle charging once the battery is totally charged.
- Float charge. The battery and also the load area unit for good connected in parallel across the DC charging supply and command at a continuing voltage below the battery's higher voltage limit. Used for emergency power make a copy systems. primarily used with lead acid batteries.
Random charging All of the higher than applications involve controlled charge of the battery, but there are several applications wherever the energy to charge the battery is only available, or is delivered, in some random, uncontrolled method. this is applicable to automotive applications wherever the energy depends on the engine speed that is continuously dynamic . the matter is a lot of acute in ev and HEV applications that use regenerative braking since this generates giant power spikes throughout braking that the battery should absorb. a lot of benign applications are in electrical device installations which may only be charged once the sun is shining.
- Simple Chargers
- Three stage Chargers
- Induction powered Chargers
- Intilligent Chargers
- Motion powered Chargers
- Pulse Chargers
- Solar Chargers
- Time based Chargers
- Triggle Chargers
- Universal battery Chargers
- USB based Chargers
- Power bank
Uses of Batteries :
- Battery charger for vehicles
- Electric vehicle batteries
- Charge stations
- Mobile phone charger
- Stationary battery plants
- Use in experiments

Country singer Libby Koch to perform at Alvin Live concert
The Alvin Live Summer Concert will feature on July 14 country singer Libby Koch, who is excited about the June release of her sixth CD produced by Grammy Award-winner Bil VornDick.
This will be the first performance of the Americana singer-songwriter at Alvin Community College.
"We first started working with Libby a couple of years ago, trying to get our schedule to match hers for an Alvin Live appearance," said Bill Lewis, ACC Communications Department chair. "We had several people that had seen her perform at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, and they thought she would be a good fit for us.
"She just released a brand-new CD that is getting great reviews, so it's the perfect time to have her here in Alvin," Lewis added.
"This is a record I've wanted to make for a really long time. I'm really excited to get it out there," Koch said in an interview on her website, http://libbykoch.com
She said the title track "Just Move On" represents where she is in life as she pursues her career in music.
"A whole lot of hard work has gone into this album by a lot of truly awesome people, so it is really exciting that it's being received so well!," wrote Koch in an email. "We've also been playing CD release shows close to home, so lots of family, friends, and fans who have been with me from the beginning have been in the audience, which is always really fun. Everyone has been so supportive!"
Among those enthused by her new songs is Emily Pickrell, a former Houston resident who remains an active participant in the local music scene.
"What I really like about the way Libby writes is that the songs connect you back to the Texas great traditions but always sound fresh and keep you interested," said Pickrell, who met Koch about five years ago around the time the singer quit practicing law full time to concentrate on her musical career.
"Making music for a living is incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. I get to do the thing I truly love more than anything in the world every single day," said Koch.
But it isn't easy.
"With the travel logistics, business decisions, correspondence, booking, living out of a suitcase, financial struggles, physical demands of performing, and the seemingly endless details to keep up with, my music career is absolutely as challenging, if not more so, than my legal career was," Koch wrote. "There are definitely days that are discouraging, but I always say 'playing music fixes everything' - at the end of the day when I play a gig or pick up my guitar at home, all those obstacles and challenges fade away, and I find myself renewed, fired up, and motivated again to keep going."
"Libby is one of the great finds of Houston - a killer voice with smart, honest lyrics," Pickrell said. "She comes from a long line of tough, big-hearted Texas women whose stories inspire many of her songs."
Pickrell last heard Koch at the South by Southwest Music Festival in 2015.
"When I first met her, she was thinking about moving to Austin to further her career and then decided that everything she loved was in Houston and figured out how to make that work, which I thought was incredibly cool," Pickrell said. "While she is now on the road full-time, she is still very rooted in Houston with a big circle of friends and family. She's definitely in it for the long run and is equal parts talent and hard work."
"One of my favorite aspects about performing is the opportunity to make a connection with the audience, which is a unique experience every time," said Koch in an email.
"So when I'm preparing for a show, whether it's at one of my regular Houston haunts or a brand-new venue in a different part of the world, I give a lot of thought to the particulars of the situation...the size of the room, who else is on the bill, whether we're playing a weekend or weeknight, if it's early or late...those sorts of things.
"But because I'm always looking to maximize the opportunity for that magical audience connection, I often tend to wait until the last minute to write a set list, if I make one at all. Many times I call out songs on the fly depending on the flow of the show...thankfully my band is fantastic and can go with said flow!
"Basically I want to do everything I can to make sure folks are having a great time, and I find that reading the room and the crowd is really critical to the success of the evening and the connection we make with the audience. To me that improvisation is really fun and one of the most exciting parts of the job, because if the audience is engaged and having a great time then I am, too!"
The Alvin Live Summer Concert series is sponsored by the ACC Foundation. Funds raised are used for ACC Broadcast Communications student training and scholarships.
The series has used the studio setting for its productions on 89.7 FM and KACC-TV, Cable Access Channel 16. The studio can seat 65.
The concert provides fans with an opportunity to experience the music in an intimate setting. After the concert, fans will have the opportunity to take pictures and obtain autographs.
Tickets are $40 individually or $250 for a table of four. Refunds are not available.
Doors will open at 7 p.m. Appetizers and adult beverages will be provided.
To purchase tickets, visit the ACC marketplace at www.alvincollege.edu, or call 281-756-3600.
The Bay Area Harbour Playhouse, 3803 Texas 3, Dickinson, has started its 25th Silver Anniversary Season with "Finian's Rainbow," a Broadway musical about Irishmen, leprechauns and a pot of gold.
"Finian's Rainbow" runs through July 31. Performances are at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays.
More than 50 singers and dancers will perform in the second musical of the season, "A Night on Broadway," Aug. 13 during the theater's annual gala. Many now live outside Texas and are returning to the stage where artistic director Bennie Nipper gave them their start.

Deer Park
"The Producers," the musical adapted from Mel Brooks' 1968 film of the same name, is being shown at the Deer Park Municipal Court and Theater Building, 1302 Center St.
"The Producers" will be shown July 15-17 and July 22-23. Productions on Fridays and Saturdays will begin at 8 p.m. with dinner served at 7 p.m., while matinee productions on Sundays will begin at 2 p.m. following a 1 p.m. meal.

Call the box office at 281-794-2448 for ticket information.
According to Director David Eck, the two-hour production features a cast of 27 actors and more than 180 costume changes, making "The Producers" one of the most complex efforts ever taken on by the City of Deer Park's Art Park Players.
"To date, 'The Producers' is still the most decorated show in the history of Broadway, and there's a lot of reasons for that," Eck said. "Mel Brooks has such an unapologetic, hilarious style, and everyone who comes to see the show is going to have a great time."
Of all the things to love about "The Producers" – the story of a washed up producer and a public accountant who build a money-making scheme around a sure-fire Broadway flop – Eck said the costumes are a truly special element.
"The costumes in this production range from bums to village people to showgirls," he said. "Luckily, Gail Eck – our costume coordinator and my mother – helped us pull together pieces from several places, including a costume warehouse based out of south Florida."
"Movies in the Park" in Friendswood returns Friday, July 15, and is sponsored by the Friendswood Rotary Club and the City of Friendswood Parks and Recreation Department.

Vegetable soup, that winter comfort food, might have some value in the prevention and treatment of colon, breast, lung and other cancers. Vegetables contain important antioxidants, minerals and other nutrients that show promise in protecting against cancer and in shrinking tumors. What's already certain is that vegetable soup is a healthy meal for anyone.
Cancer-Fighting Vegetables
Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower may protect normal cells from becoming cancerous. The Linus Pauling Institute says results of testing are mixed; consuming cruciferous vegetables appeared to lower the risk of lung, breast, colorectal or prostate cancer in some tests but not all. Research into the potential beneficial effects of cruciferous vegetables continues. Mushrooms, onions, garlic, potatoes, turnips and parsnips contain allicin, which possibly lowers the risk for stomach cancer, according to North Dakota State University Extension. Cooked tomatoes have large amounts of lycopene, used in treatments for prostate cancer.
Stanford's Soup Recipe
Stanford Cancer Center offers a vegetable soup recipe for cancer patients that allows a choice of vegetables from a varied list. The soup has a chicken stock or beef broth base and may contain carrots, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli florets, zucchini, green peas or green beans. Serve the soup chunky style or blended. The veggies must be well-cooked. Don't add spices like pepper to the vegetables once the soup is finished cooking.
Selected Vegetable Soup
Selected Vegetable Soup and Sun's Soup are variations of a vegetable soup being tested for anti-cancer properties. Some frozen and dried soup mixes can be purchased in the United States as dietary supplements. The American Cancer Society says the soup mix is safe to consume, but there is no verifiable evidence that it can help to treat cancer. The freeze-dried mix contains soybeans, shiitake mushrooms, mung beans, scallions, garlic, leeks, lentils, onion, ginseng, several medicinal roots, olives and parsley.
Miso Soup
The Kushi Institute has long offered a macrobiotic diet as a cancer preventative. The institute recommends several versions of miso soup, made with the fermented soybean paste common to the Japanese diet. The institute points to Japanese government studies that linked a diet high in miso to lower instances of stomach and breast cancers. The Kushi Institute Basic Vegetable Miso Soup recipe includes dry wakame seaweed, sliced onions, spring water and miso. Recommended vegetables include squash, cabbage, carrots, daikon, daikon greens and dried nori.

Secretary of State No.
INSURANCE RATES AND REGULATION. INITIATIVE STATUTE. Regulates manner in which automobile and other property-casualty insurance rates are established. Requires rates be lowered at least 20 percent from November 8, 1987 levels, then frozen until November 8, 1989, unless insurance company is substantially threatened with insolvency. Requires public hearing and approval of Insurance Commissioner for rate changes. Requires automobile premiums be determined primarily by driving record and miles driven; requires discounts for good drivers. Provides for public disclosure of insurance company operations. Repeals certain exemptions of insurance companies from state civil rights and antitrust laws. Makes Insurance Commissioner elected officer. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: Adoption will increase the Department of Insurance's administrative costs by an unknown amount - potentially multimillion dollars - in 1988-89 (partial year) and by about $10 million annually thereafter. This cost will be payable from the Insurance Fund which is supported by annual fees levied on the insurance industry. Although the Board of Equalization is to adjust insurance tax rates for the period of November 1988 to January 1, 1991 to compensate for the loss of state revenues from the gross premiums tax paid by insurers, such adjustment will be based on estimates of what the revenues from gross premiums would have been in the absence of this measure. As there is room for error in such estimates, it is impossible to determine whether there will be any net gain or loss in state revenues during the transition period. The Board of Equalization may incur an unknown, probably minor, administrative cost for adjusting the gross premiums tax rate.

Talleres pressure you with their system, their supporters and their heart
Juan Pablo Vojvoda knew how to shut down Sao Paulo. He understood that the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium would be boiling with passion. Their supporters would will them on. The anxiety surrounding this knockout tie was huge. The coach understood this to perfection. He organised his team accordingly: press, press and press. The legs and the hearts of the Talleres players reponded.
No system can work without heart, and less so without intelligence behind it. Talleres midfield has two important members who have an age difference of 18 years: Andrés Cubas, 22, and Pablo Guiñazú, 40. Both, despite their varying levels of experience, function as the brain of this team. It doesn't always mean spotting passes. It's also about knowing the right time to press and attack space on the pitch.
Sao Paulo couldn't get a foothold in the game. Talleres wouldn't allow them to play it out. They took advantage of the distruption the constant pressure was causing and punished the Brazilians accordingly.
Guiñazú and Cubas produced 15 of Talleres attacks. They also stopped exactly the same amount of chances Sao Paulo attempted to create. Those two allowed their teammates to shine in midfield. And it was Tomás Pochettino and Juan Ramírez who scored the goals which sealed victory for Talleres.

Does My Loved One Really Need an Advanced Air Ambulance?
No one wants to hear that their loved one needs an advanced air ambulance. While the team here at MedFlight911 does everything in our power to make the air ambulance experience as smooth as possible, we realize that many people aren't exactly excited to be working with us – this is a very difficult time for patients and their family members. They've found themselves in a medical situation that necessitates long distance medical transport – which can be stressful, even when things go as planned.
So it's not surprising that families may wonder if they really need an advanced air ambulance. Isn't there an easier way? While each individual situation is different, here are a few questions to ask yourself to help determine whether your loved one really needs air medical transport.
Does the patient need medical care that's only available at a far-away hospital? Sometimes, patients with more complicated medical conditions need to be transported to a facility where they can get the special treatment they need. For example, a traumatic brain injury (TBI) patient or a person with severe burns may need to get care at a specialized hospital.
Would it better for the patient to recover closer to family and other loved ones? If your father, mother, or other elderly loved one lives far away but develops a need for ongoing medical attention, it may make sense to transport them via air ambulance to a facility (such as a nursing home) that's closer to you or other family members.
Is the patient currently in another country or a location distant from their home? It's not unusual for people to fall ill or become injured while traveling abroad or in a place far away from home. In these cases, it may make sense for the patient to be transported to a hospital closer to their home, where they can recover in the environment and with the people they're used to.
What is the patient's medical condition? Air ambulance transport is a good option for patients who have a serious medical condition that requires ongoing monitoring and care. However, patients who are mobile and in relatively good health may be better served by MedFlight911's air medical escort service, which involves a nurse or paramedic accompanying the patient on a commercial airline flight.
At MedFlight911, we offer a variety of long distance medical transport options to meet the different needs of patients. Some are best served by our air ambulance services, while our non-emergency ground transportation is a good fit for many stable patients. And commercial air medical escort can be the best option for those who just need a helping hand.
To find out more about MedFlight911's advanced air ambulance services give us a call at 888-359-1911 or get a no-obligation long distance medical transport quote here.

Interview with Donal Foley
Flight Instructor, Irish Aviation Authority
1. Can you tell us about your flying career?
At the age of 13, as a young boy in Cork, I got this wild notion that I would like to be a pilot when I grew up. I can remember the very second it occurred to me and from that moment the idea took over my life and became all consuming. Cork airport had not even had a sod turned at that time and I had never seen an aircraft on the ground so the dream was purely that - a childish dream by a young lad who probably should have been doing his school homework or running errands for his Mammy (we didn't have Mums in Cork at that time). That was 1959.
I left school in 1964 (PBC Cork). I have been in Aviation ever since. I spent 6 years as a pilot in the Royal Air Force where I flew Fighter and Transport Aircraft during the cold war. I returned to Ireland in the early seventies and re joined Aer Lingus. (I had been in Aer Lingus briefly before joining the RAF). I spent a total of 31 wonderful years with our National Airline - always flying. I became Chief Pilot and eventually Director of Flight and Technical Operations. I flew all routes in Europe and to the USA and Canada. In 2001 I was invited to join the Thomas Cook organisation as Director of Flight Operations based in Manchester. I spent seven years with Thomas Cook and absolutely loved it (and Manchester). I retired from there in 2008.
Having sworn on a stack of Bibles that I was never going to work - flying was never work - I spent a year retired. It was great. I'd had a great career and I loved being retired, and I was busy all the time. Then, another long story, I found myself recruited into the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) as a Flight Operations Inspector. The IAA is the Aviation Safety Regulator for Ireland and I and my colleagues conduct checks on Pilots and Flight Operations Departments in the Irish Airlines. I am assigned to a well known very large Irish Company so I get to see another side of the business. I also own, with two other friends, a single engine vintage aircraft and I am separately a Flying Instructor with a flying Club.
2. What does being a flight inspector involve?
The IAA is the regulator and I am one of the regulators (Inspectors). We fly in the cockpit and check the pilots and the operations. Unlike the commercial end of aviation which was deregulated by Ronald Reagan and Maggie Thatcher the operational side of aviation is highly regulated - purely for safety. We also check that the back-up systems as required by law are all in place and up to date including the training side of the airline which is a major part of a pilot's life.
3. What was/is your favourite flying route and why?
Best bit has to have been as a carefree young Fighter Pilot in the Royal Air Force (with a Cork accent!). Flying into dirt strips in Africa on the C130 Hercules aircraft was also fantastic. At other times we were operating near the north pole which offered a somewhat different challenge. The Middle and Far East flying was great as was going to the Carribean and South America with Thomas Cook Airlines. Also great was flying the USA routes with Aer Lingus. There was something magic about flying Irish people to and from the USA. Whether it was kids in Summer going to work on their J-class visas or Irish-Americans coming home on holidays. Bringing the Irish soccer team home from Italia '90 was an honour as was flying a most diminutive lady home from Liverpool to Dublin. That Lady was Mother Theresa. I had a fascinating conversation another time with Professor Stephen Hawking at Cork airport before flying him to London. The pleasure of bringing people home for Christmas - their excitement was so infectious and it's probably as close as one will ever get to the feeling of being the Catcher in the Rye. There was of course sadly the other side but that's best put to one side for now. Pilgrimage flights to Lourdes were very sobering and yet most fullfilling in another way. Closer to home it was a privilege to fly the first Aer Lingus aircraft into Knock, Sligo, Galway, and Kerry. Flying the DH 84 (the Iolar - Aer Lingus' first aircraft) all over Ireland and the United Kingdom was a pleasure.
4. What is your scariest flying memory?
I wouldn't say scary but there were three occasions when I had cause to wonder! All three were weather related. Once in Africa flying from Lagos to Port Harcourt. Big CBs everywhere and I just could not believe that the atmosphere could carry so much moisture but even more so that a jet engine could ingest so much water and not flame out. The second occasion was one summer evening climbing out of Boston with wall-to-wall thunderstorm activity. I had never seen such an abundance of electrical storm activity anywhere. I did ask myself 'what am I doing here?'. Interesting how on that occasion we did not have a lightning strike and yet on seemingly far less weather active occasions I've been hit about a dozen times. The third occasion was with Thomas Cook flying into one of the Caribbean Islands. The radar scope was all pink i.e. very severe weather. I had seen it red (severe) many times but never pink. The colour was the only pretty part of that approach and landing.
5. Have you flown near a Cumulonimbus?
As mentioned in question 4.The on board weather radar was generally very good and the forecasting great. (Let me say it now very loudly and I will repeat it anywhere and often to any audience - the Irish Met Service in my 45 years experience is the best in the world). CBs, like politicians, are best avoided by about 5 miles and at least 5000 feet.
6. Given your job description, you must a high appreciation of clouds and how they form. Of all the various clouds types there is, which one would you describe as the most visually appealing? and which type would describe as being the most practically unappealing?
The clouds, all clouds, have always fascinated me. All the different shapes and shades. I used to feel like I was Peter Pan. I suppose on evenings flying west looking at Cirrostratus backlit by golden sunset takes some beating. Mind you on the otherhand descending east on a summer morning skirting the good weather cumulus puffs was also lovely. I think though for sheer majesty a fully developed CB with a towering anvil is hard to beat. Nimbostratus I suppose must be bottom of the pile. Rain, more rain and more rain.
7. Was becoming a pilot a childhood dream and if so, did the actual experience of being pilot live up you to your childhood expectations?
My career as a pilot has far exceeded all my expectations. I looked forward to every flight and was never disappointed. I still do.
8. Is there any specific type of airliner that you would love to fly, but have not yet had the opportunity?
I suppose the Airbus 380 - but too old now!
9. Can you describe the importance of weather forecasts for aviation and have you at any time trusted your own intuition over them?
I could not possibly overstate the importance of forecasting to aviation. Based on the forecast you go or do not go. You know where best to track whether it be to avoid turbulence or take advantage of a jetstream (or avoid it as the case may be). Of course forecasting can never be 100% accurate but at worst it gives you some idea of what to expect. Other than small local phenomena which one becomes aware of from time to time. Like for instance in Cork before the upgrade of the approach facilities I was always aware that a wind shift from southerly to about 210 degrees seemed to lift a 100 foot cloud base to the 200 feet then required for landing I would never trust my own intuition before the forecast from Met (I was too spoiled over the years with excellent forecasting - especially by the Met Éireann team).
10. Does piloting an airliner ever become 'second nature', or do you still get nervous before a take off / landing?
No to both. Training and retraining is so much part and parcel of a pilot's career that one is very much in one's comfort zone in the cockpit but always very aware of the need to keep ahead of the aircraft.
11. Are you scared of heights?
I don't like unprotected heights e.g. edges of cliffs, high bridges, even up on the garage roof. As long as I'm protected on all sides as in an aircraft I have no bother.

There was one final sell off on Monday hitting the 61,8% retracement from thee July 2010 low and 50% retracement from the March 2009 bottom. One support level lower, but you can not catch a falling knife and you never can say at which support level the selling will stop.
The big picture has not changed.
Short term - there is more upside. I expect one or two green weeks. Best guess - SP500 will hit 38,5 retracement(~1200) pullback to support and another push higher to 50% retracement(~1240). Then the sell off should resume and test the lows.
The plan stays the same-initial bounce,retest of the lows,strong rally and another bear leg down.
When NYSE McClellan Oscillator hit such extremes bellow -100, there is always one more push lower on the indexes. So after this initial rebound I am expecting a lower low.

I loved the sauce poured over the apples. I also did up the cinnamon a LOT as we love cinnamon. Husband felt topping was a tad flat and tasteless. Next time I am going to put cinnamon in the topping also to give it some spice. Then it will definitely be 5 stars.
Jan 1, 2019
I agree with previous comments re: ratio of brown sugar sauce to apples. When I saw what it looked like, I added more apples. Between the pectin in the apples and the fact that the sauce does include some flour, it worked great! Still really sweet, best with unsweetened whipping cream

We had a lot of granny smith apples in our backyard waiting to be used. My daughter and I were looking online for a good recipe. As soon as we saw this one, my daughter started singing "Shoo Fly Pie and Apple Pandowdy"! That did it! We had to try this recipe! And it didn't disappoint us. We listened to Dinah Shore as we prepared it. We especially liked the sauce made in a saucepan to pour over the apples. That gave it a whole new texture. Good with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Jan 17, 2017
The recipe turned out fine. However, I did do my pastry part in a mini food-prep, and I did add more cinnamon that the recipe calls for, plus I put some sparkling sugar across the pastry just for appearance. If you haven't made one of these before, it is very sweet and sticky. Best served warm, and with ice cream. However, I am only giving it four stars because I felt the apples were smothered by the brown sugar sauce. I would cut back on the sauce by 1/4 or maybe even 1/3 and let the apples shine through a little more.
Jan 18, 2016
Tried this last night; turned-out great! Good recipe for an occasional cook. A strange song came to me as I was baking, something about "shoo-fly pie and apple pandowdy," 'wonder where that came from?
Oct 7, 2013
Yum! this is the Old style pandowdy just like my Mom used to make! I made it today for my Dad's birthday and it turned out Perfect! Tastes fantastic! So easy to make too!
Oct 2, 2013
This is one of the best cobblers I have tasted. The sauce you prepare on top of stove and thicken really adds a lot to this dish and the topping browns so nicely. Yum
Jan 29, 2013
very good!

Made this tonight--absolutely wonderful!!!! Thanks so much for sharing.

In detail: Jennifer Lopez's US$1.5 million engagement ring
Last night J-Lo and A-Rod got engaged (you can read why the world will never – ever – be the same right here).
While the internet lost its collective mind around this new celebrity engagement, most people's eyes were fixated on the rock weighing down Jennifer Lopez's dainty hand on Instagram. It certainly looks the business, but beneath the social media hype is the engagement ring more than just a shiny piece of jewellery?
To find out, we asked Fergus James, founder and CEO of leading diamond jewellery e-retailer FergusJames.com, his opinion on Jennifer Lopez's brand new engagement ring.
"Obviously, without being able to see the ring up close and personal there's quite a bit of speculation around the size and the quality of the ring," says James. That said, there's still quite a lot to be gained from that single image.
For one, your eyes are not deceiving you – it's stunning. "The diamond is a great example of an emerald shaped diamond, which is cut using the 'step cut' format," says James. "This gives the diamond that beautifully elegant glassy appearance".
The cut here is rather important. According to James, diamond shapes will vary massively according to the cut. "Step cut shapes vary depending on cut quality and the spread of the Diamond. We believe that J-Lo's diamond is a 10ct D-E Colour FL – VVS1 diamond". That means it should offer superior colour and clarity.
The big question: How much would J-Lo's engagement ring cost? "Considering the size and specification of this diamond, we'd say it would retail for anywhere between US$1 million and US$1.5 million," says James.
"Her diamond follows the general latest trend for large diamonds to be fancy shaped (as opposed to round in shape)." It's certainly a hefty-looking ring.
Jennifer Lopez and A-Rod are currently vacationing in the Bahamas. A-Rod proposed after putting a sickeningly sweet poem about finding his soul mate on Instagram Stories, then obviously popped the question.
"From all of us at the Fergus James Team, we'd like to wish J-Lo all the best on her engagement. Fifth time lucky!"
We couldn't agree more.

Trump's Top Trade Nominees Have Strong Links to U.S. Beef and Growth Hormone Lobbies
By Lawrence Carter
Donald Trump's nominee to be the U.S. chief agricultural trade negotiator previously called for the U.S. to walk away from trade talks with the EU if it refused to drop its ban on beef reared with antibiotics and growth supplements, Energydesk can reveal.
The news could have implications for the UK's attempts to strike a post-Brexit trade deal with the U.S., with reports suggesting the U.S. agricultural sector wants to weaken UK food standards—including the ban on growth hormones—to help boost its meat exports.
EcoWatch Daily Newsletter
Proposed Rule Would Permit China to Export Poultry Products to U.S.
The Trump administration will publish a proposed rule Friday that would permit the People's Republic of China (PRC) to export its own poultry products to the U.S. It is doing so because U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) claims that the PRC's food safety inspection system is equivalent to ours. The decision comes on the heels of the PRC agreeing to resume importing U.S. beef after a 14-year ban.
The Trump administration notified Congress Thursday of its intent to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with Canada and Mexico. Throughout his candidacy, Trump proclaimed he would "announce" plans to "totally renegotiate" NAFTA on "day one" of his presidency. Today is the 119th day of his presidency.

Man arrested after abducted toddler's body found in river
It is believed that her body was dumped in a bag and then thrown into the river. A stone had been tied to her body.
The girl was abducted from her home in Rooikoppies, Delportshoop on April 20 after a man allegedly threatened to kill and attempted to rape her mother.
Members of the SAPS Diving Unit retrieved the girl's body on Thursday afternoon.
Community members condemned the cruel manner in which an innocent toddler had met her death.
Although the girl's family are still reeling in shock following the discovery of the body, they were relieved that her body had at least finally been found.
They believe that the girl's abductor knew the steep, rocky terrain leading up to the river very well. "The toddler would never have been able to navigate her way there in the dark."
The toddler's twin brother will now have to celebrate their second birthday on April 29 without his sister.
Family members said that the children regarded the man arrested in connection with the incident as a father figure, as he had helped to raise them and they called him "daddy".
"We are heartbroken and it will be a difficult process to accept her death."
They added that the window where the accused allegedly gained forced entry to the house was still broken.
The father of the twins said that the boy was crying for his sister.
"They were inseparable. He keeps asking where she is and tells us to buy treats and chips for his sister. He even wore a pair of her pink sandals today so that he could feel closer to her. He is still so young and I dread the day when I have to tell him what really happened to his twin."
The father added that he had taken the week off from work in order to join in the search. "I have not slept a wink since I arrived in Delportshoop. I have a contract job in Ulco and I will only return after the funeral."
The girl's mother did not wish to go to the river as she felt that it would be too traumatic.
She stated that she was frantic when she realised that her child had been taken from the bedroom.
"She was sick and we had just brought her back from the hospital. As soon as I realised that she was gone I immediately called for help and we started searching for her, but it was around 10pm and it was dark. The children were all asleep in the bedroom, although I was awake and I was sober. We had no idea where they could have gone."
Police spokesperson Captain Olebogeng Tawana said that the Northern Cape police's Search and Rescue unit, K9 unit, Mounted unit, Visible Policing unit, Detectives and Diving unit were involved in the intensive search for the missing toddler over the past six days.
"They made a gruesome discovery of the body of a two-year-old girl in the Vaal River today (Thursday) at 12.50pm. A stone was tightened around the toddler's body that was found submerged under water," said Tawana.
He added that the 41-year-old accused who appeared in the Barkly West Magistrate's Court this week on charges of attempted rape, housebreaking with intent to assault and kidnapping, would also face a murder charge.
"The Northern Cape police management condemns crimes against women and children in the strongest terms," Tawana concluded.
The SAPS provincial head for Family Violence, Child Protection and Sexual Offences, Brigadier Nicky Mills, thanked the community for assisting the police in finding the girl.
"Although the outcome is not what we hoped for, it would not have been possible without the help of the community who joined the police, night and day, in the search. We understand the frustration of the family and we managed to sort out our differences," said Mills.

Archeological Masterpieces

After the great successes achieved by the "Saudi Archeological Masterpieces through the Ages" exhibition that was hosted by the Louvre Museum in Paris and opened to public for more than two and a half months, SCTH moved the exhibition to Spain, where it was hosted by the La Caixa Foundation in Barcelona, from 12th November 2010 to 27th February, 2011.
The idea behind the exhibition's world tour was derived from the Royal directives for holding this exhibition in a number of renowned museums in Europe and the USA to confirm the historical status of the Kingdom as well as demonstrate to the world the cultural dimension of the Kingdom represented through its antiquities and particular importance in understanding the episodes of human history, in addition to the Kingdom's international economic and political weights.
The exhibition included 320 artifacts that were shown first time outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These artifacts were drawn from the National Museum in Riyadh, the Museum of King Saud University and a number of other museums across the country. Some of these were also drawn from the recent archaeological excavations that were carried out in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
The exhibition contained a number of rare antiquities from the Kingdom with exceptional value and extraordinary importance, shown for the first time outside the country. The artifacts covered different archeological periods, which extend from the Old Stone Age until the rebirth of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The long period of history included the Stone Age. the slavery period (fifth millennium BC), the Delmun period, the early Arab kingdoms, the intermediate Arab kingdoms, the Prophet's period, the Umayyads and Abbasids, the mid and late Islamic era, finally the unification of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the subsequent development and prosperity evident in all walks of life, particularly in the service of the Two Holy Mosques.
La Caixa Foundation of Barcelona, Spain, enjoys extensive experience in organizing exhibitions; where it has, since 1991 organized a number of important exhibitions on the ancient civilizations. The most important being the exhibitions on the Iberians (Spanish or Portuguese), the exhibition of the Western Princes, the Tibetan Art Gallery, the Egyptian Millennium Exhibition (Africa... magic and power, the Forgotten Empire), the exhibition of the ancient Persians and the exhibition - Between East and West.
It is worth mentioning that the organization of these archaeological exhibitions outside the Kingdom falls under the great attention paid by the country's leadership to human communication, and the increasing role of the Kingdom in the international community in the light its status in Islam as the home of the Two Holy Mosques, in addition to economic weight and its geographical location, which throughout the human history has positioned it as a major hub of economic and cultural relations between the East and the West through the times.

The new dawn of feminist art is adorned with old stars – and blood red poppies.
Copenhagen based solo exhibition by Ursula Reuter Christiansen proves the influence of leading female artists of the 70's to be as prominent as ever, showing the essence of a lifework in the process of constant development.
Sabsay is thrilled to announce the opening of 'New Works', a solo exhibition by Ursula Reuter Christiansen, comprising several new oil paintings, unfolding the perpetual story of death, renewal, and life in a new context in relation to the artist's oeuvre.
Reuter Christiansen's exhibition at Sabsay relates to her other current major solo exhibition at the National Gallery of Denmark, which is centred on her 1970's paintings and the film The Executioner (1971). A significant work in early Danish feminist art, the film approaches the symbolism of the poppy, which has been a consistent motif in the artist's body of work ever since.
Many elements from her current exhibition at the National Gallery of Denmark figure in Reuter Christiansen's new works. In the paintings on show, the poppies find new modes of expression: "The poppies became a symbol of death, blood, mortality. And when I look at the new poppies, they are a kind of death machine. They're almost circular. The poppy becomes relevant again in my story, but in a different way," the artist states.
As the current and much-heated women's rights debate continues to prove itself relevant, Reuter Christiansen's new works seem as influential as ever. Rather than tending towards revisionism, the exhibition explores the qualities that Reuter Christiansen's work continues to show today regardless of historical times: "We are not so much reviving a leading female artist of the 70's when exhibiting Reuter Christiansen. Her work was hugely influential at the time too and these new paintings show an artistic development over time," says Masha Faurschou, founder of Sabsay.
"It has been an exciting journey to follow Ursula Reuter Christiansen creating her new paintings. We look forward to share the overwhelming results of her efforts to get back to her studio to paint. Ursula is a painter who's time is now," Masha Faurschou concludes.
Born in Trier, Germany, in 1943, Ursula Reuter Christiansen has lived and worked on the Danish island, Møn, since 1969. The same year she graduated from Akademie der Künste in Düsseldorf where she studied under professor Joseph Beuys. Reuter Christiansen worked as a professor at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg (HfBK) from 1992-96 and a professor of painting at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen from 1997-2006. She and her husband, Henning Christiansen represented Denmark at the Venice Biennale in 2001. Reuter Christiansen has exhibited at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen (2016), MOCA, Los Angelses (2007-8), Kunsthal Brandts Klædefabrik, Odense (2000) among others. She was awarded the Eckersberg Medal in 2011.
Sabsay opened in May 2016 and is located in Central Copenhagen. According to Sabsay, the purpose of the exhibition space is to enrich the Danish art scene with new names and practices as well as to encourage joint projects between international and local artists and curators.

Aeroporti di Roma has become the first airport and first Italian company to join EP100, The Climate Group's global initiative on smarter energy use, with an ambitious commitment to increase its energy productivity 150% by 2026, from a 2006 baseline.
Delivered in partnership with the Alliance to Save Energy, EP100 brings together major companies committed to using energy more productively – leading to higher economic output from every unit of energy they consume.
Aeroporti di Roma, which runs both the Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport and Rome Ciampino Airport, has already saved more than 220.000 MWh from rolling out energy efficiency projects since 2009.
Jenny Chu, Head of EP100, The Climate Group, said: "Aeroporti di Roma is setting a new standard for ambition on smart energy use. By committing to not only double – but triple – its energy productivity, the airport is showing companies everywhere that it is possible to use energy far more efficiently, and that doing so is good for business."
Ugo de Carolis, Chief Executive Officer, Aeroporti di Roma, said: "As the leading Italian airport, we are strongly involved and committed to energy efficiency across the airport systems. Through the EP100 initiative, Aeroporti di Roma commits to improve the energy performance of the airport by 150% within 2026 (2006 baseline). This will be achieved through investments in innovation and energy efficiency programmes, key tools for tackling climate change."
Aeroporti di Roma has already rolled out more than 300 energy efficiency projects across its two airport sites. These include installing more than 100,000 LED lights in its buildings, car parking sites and on airplane runways; revamping cleaning processes for equipment like heat exchangers and air coolers to increase efficiency; and training more than 900 staff on how to cut down on energy waste through their daily practices.
Being more energy efficient has also helped the company power ahead on other initiatives to reduce its emissions, such as sourcing renewable electricity from both wind projects and solar plants.
As part of this process, Aeroporti di Roma has constructed a smart grid close to the Rome-Fiumicino International Airport. Here, a solar plant generates electricity to power nearby EV charging stations and delivers co-generated heat for hot water within the terminal. The grid directly incorporates battery storage to maximize efficient use of the generated power.
"Saving natural resources, energy, water and land consumption is a pillar of our operational and infrastructure developement strategy", said Gianluca Littarru, Chief Operating Officer, Aeroporti di Roma.

It's trade show season, and if you're like most marcom folks in the industry, you're doing everything humanly possible to book as many meetings with editors as you can. But if you're finding it harder and harder to get on the editors' calendars, you're not alone. As publications consolidate or downsize, journalists are becoming ever more pressed for time, so they're being more selective about how they spend it.
We surveyed some of the most influential editors in the industry about this very topic. We asked them how they felt about at-show booth meetings, and here's what they had to say:
- Keep regions in mind. For example, only request a meeting with a German publication if you are active in Germany. That means having customers or participating in events in the region. It might help to have your regional distributor attend the meeting. Editors appreciate talking with someone knowledgeable about their country or region.
- Make sure you have something new and interesting to talk about. Editors appreciate relationship-building, but at these shows, their time is tight, and if you don't have something newsworthy for them to publish, they'd rather skip the meeting.
- Do your homework about the publication. It's important to know the markets and topics the publication covers to make sure that what you have to say is relevant. Better yet, take a look at their editorial calendars to see if there is a relevant topic coming up. If that topic is months away, then perhaps a postshow phone call would be better than a meeting — for you and for them!
- Keep it quick – 10-15 minutes. Don't give a product demo. Journalists just don't have the time for demos at these shows. Make your press kit available on a thumb drive, and when you talk to the journalists, just hit the highlights. Focus on the high-level news rather than going into too much product detail.
- If you have a press conference but request a one-on-one meeting in addition to it, then use that extra time to tell the editors something they didn't hear at the press conference. Give them some news embargoed for a later date or suggest an article based on their editorial calendars.
The takeaway: Respect journalists' time and be prepared to share something of value to make the meeting worth their while. They'll appreciate the effort, it'll be a more productive meeting for both of you, and you'll be more likely to get their attention in the future.
