Drones are changing our world, from lifesaving innovations in healthcare, creating new works of art, to the race behind new efforts to secure our skies. And they're everywhere. According to Time magazine, drones are going from sub-culture to mainstream.
The impact of technology continues to be felt in our everyday lives, but nowhere is more evident than in our choice in where to live. These days, if you have tech skills, you can work anywhere you want -- including from home. That's good news for people living outside city centers, especially considering that, according to FiveThirtyEight, some of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. are actually more suburban than urban.

U.S. Technology Exports Totaled $322 Billion in 2017, Supported 800,000+ Jobs, New CompTIA Analysis Reveals
Exports of U.S. technology industry products and services grew by nearly $10 billion in 2017, to an estimated $322 billion, according to a new analysis released today by CompTIA, the world's leading technology association.
While Silicon Valley stills hold the title as a tech mecca with the highest numbers of tech postings in the U.S., other cities are starting to gain some ground. According to a new report from career website Ladders, even though San Francisco has once again topped its list of best cities for tech-related opportunities (with 6,727 active postings), it's losing some luster.
The Trump administration plans to shorten the length of validity for some visas issued to Chinese citizens, the State Department said Tuesday, as President Donald Trump works to counter alleged theft of U.S. intellectual property by Beijing.
Now, fresh details from Uber's fatal self-driving car crash in March underscore not just the difficulty of this problem, but its centrality. According to a preliminary report released by the National Transportation Safety Board last week, Uber's system detected pedestrian Elaine Herzberg six seconds before striking and killing her. It identified her as an unknown object, then a vehicle, then finally a bicycle.
Just about every major automaker is working on some level of self-driving technology. Of course, some companies are much further along than others with technological progress and monetary investments. Regardless of these initiatives, government regulations will have a major impact on timelines and deployment. Automotive insurance, liability concerns, and recent tragic incidents may also stall adoption.
President Trump said Tuesday that he would proceed with tariffs on $50 billion in Chinese imports and introduce new limits on Chinese investment in U.S. high-tech industries as part of a broad campaign to crack down on Chinese acquisition of U.S. technology.

The games we are showing this week are...
Week Six fixtures
Daniel Jones' perfect start was ended by the Vikings on Sunday, but do the Giants (2-3) have any chance to stop the dominant Patriots (5-0)? We will see on Thursday night as New York are the latest team running into the New England juggernaut.
Sunday's coverage kicks off with a bonus early game! This week at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Panthers (3-2) and Buccaneers (2-3) will face off at 2.30pm in an NFC South rivalry game.
In the 6pm slot, Deshaun Watson and the Texans (3-2) - coming off a 53-point performance in a win over Atlanta - will visit the Chiefs (4-1), who will be looking to rebound after experiencing their first loss of the season to Indianapolis on Sunday Night Football.
The NFC West is in the spotlight in our late game, as the 49ers (currently 3-0 and looking to remain unbeaten when they play the Browns tonight) visit the stumbling Rams (3-2). After a 3-0 start of their own, last year's NFC champions have suffered two straight defeats to the Bucs and Seahawks.
NFL Week Seven viewer's vote
In Week Seven, you will decide which early and late NFL games we show on Sky Sports.
We then join our friends at NBC for Sunday Night Football, featuring two teams who have disappointed so far. The Steelers (1-4) lost Ben Roethlisberger for the season and may be down to third-string, undrafted rookie quarterback Devlin Hodges after back-up Mason Rudolph suffered a serious head injury in Week Five, while the Chargers (2-3) have simply under-performed.
Week Six concludes with a cracker in Green Bay as the Packers (4-1) host NFC North rivals the Detroit Lions (2-1-1). In a division where all four teams have winning records, each rivalry game is even more important.

SEO: Why It Is Important For Business Websites
In today's internet era, there is an expectation that every business, whether large or small, should have its own website. Being on the web helps a business reach out to a new audience and potential customers. Internet presence has been a major component in business marketing and advertising. However, there are some basic things that are essential for having a successful website.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is an important feature of the structure of any website. SEO refers to the idea that a website needs to be properly designed in order to be optimized for search engines. In other words, a website needs to get noticed by a search engine, such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing. When a keyword is searched on a search engine, millions of results are returned. It is the goal of every website to appear on the first page of the search engine results. All websites are essentially fighting for a top spot on the search engine results page.
Search engines use complicated algorithms and formulas to rank websites. There are ""spider"" robots which ""crawl"" websites, analyze the content on them, and give them rankings. To become search engine friendly, a website needs to have proper SEO.
SEO services Los Angeles can help LA businesses establish great websites on search engines. Professional search engine optimization services will include proper web page titles. Meta tags, which make up the source code of a website page, must also be properly filled out. There are also meta keywords. All of these entities describe a website not only to an internet visitor but also the search engines.
SEO services in Los Angeles may also offer advice on the type of content that is to be placed on websites. For example, there should be pages such as about us, contact us, services, products, privacy policy, and others. There should also be well written articles as well as some multi media such as photos and videos. It is suggested that articles be labeled with proper descriptive headlines.
Another important component of SEO services Los Angeles includes social networking. It is very essential for a business website to establish connections on online social networks such as facebook and twitter. These online communities have millions of members, all of which can discover a business that has the proper SEO. Eventually, the local Los Angeles crowd can use the services or buy the product of a business that has a solid profile on social network sites.

944TurboTom (Augment) did detail the development of his board for the 944 here, I cant find the topic now but some of his early experience of running it is here https://www.porscheclubgb.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=725360 To me the advantage of Vems or Augment is that you are getting new hardware to replace the original ecu in a plug in box that means you could return to the original. The original ECUs are doing very well but a few have suffered from dry joints - corrosion etc. and this number is likely to increase, so overall you should see an improvement in the longer term. It may take a lot of hours on a rolling road to set up, iron out the bugs and additional tweaking may be required later. Another advantage over other standalone units is that with these 2 there has been a lot of work with our cars, others Emerald / Motec / Link etc. will require even more work. On installation there are problems likely to arise with other components not being so 'fresh' - the ISV on my car was leaking a massive amount of air which with my Vitesse MAF which caused it to run very rich - so issues are not just found with replacement ECUs but they may be more sensitive to them. So in answer to the original question - I have considered it but on my coupe, but still thinking a new factory GM ecu to match a new GM v8 - (If only I had time to get started, hoping to bring the coupe home this year which should help) and the cab I am keeping standard as tuning likely to adversely affect its value - If the ecu failed then it would be a hard choice!Tony
EldavoAn interesting viewpoint as ever Roger (the standard, "this is what I've done so it must be right"). The guy I'll use for live mapping when I get to that point is based down south. He's a huge fan of VEMS and fits/maps them on many cars when he's in the country. When he's not in the country it's because of the day job as "Senior Calibration Engineer Special Projects at Aston Martin" which means he spends lots of time at WEC races. You've admitted yourself on here before that you know very little about the Turbo or its electronics, funnily enough I do know a fair bit - but also enough to know I know nothing in the grander scale of things. The standard ECU works by guesstimating air flow based on the 30 year old AFM and corroborating that to a lookup table to sort the fuelling and hoping it all works - which it does most of the time. A Turbo also has a potentiometer throttle position sensor so it adds a granular level of throttle input to the lookup table too. Although the KLR receives a boost signal, this is for overboost protection and the ECU does not factor boost into the fuelling equation AFAIK. Many people with modified Turbos fit a wideband O2 sensor to monitor AFR and then tune fuelling to try and hit an acceptable figure under full boost. My VEMS ECU knows what air is coming into the engine, what the throttle position is and what the boost level is at any given point and then builds a 3D map of what's going on and compares that with the map of what should be going on. It also knows, via a wideband O2 sensor, what's coming out of the engine and is able to use this information like a modern ECU to affect fuelling, timing, etc. on the fly. Quite simply, the drivability of my Turbo has been transformed by VEMS. Off boost it is smoother, it builds boost quicker and earlier and rather than tune for full chat only and be too rich the rest of the time, I'm seeing more power across the Rev range and significantly more "area under the curve."Oh - and with the map that mine came loaded with it started and ran first time and off I went with it in self tuning mode. Sorry, if none of that fits your narrative - especially as lots of people are buying and fitting these ECUs, just not you!
924Srr27l This thread is in regard to the harder task of tuning an N/A Engine, not the easier solution to increase more bang on a forced induction engine.
Eldavo924Srr27l This thread is in regard to the harder task of tuning an N/A Engine, not the easier solution to increase more bang on a forced induction engine. Actually, this thread is in regard to Frenchy enquiring about an aftermarket ECU for his Turbo S. You were the one that derailed it to bleat on about your car, your findings and your opinions on everything. Maybe you should take your 205hp and go wait outside while the big boys talk and provide Jim with some useful information that's pertinent to the question he originally posed!
EldavoI suggest we remain on topic
944Turbo.... the MAF threw everything the uprated injectors and fuel pump could throw at it and probably saved the engine from breaking
John Sims I can fully understand why Jon moved away from 944's. I remember thinking at the time that concentrating on 944 Tuning wasn't perhaps the best business model as the train had probably already left the station.
EldavoI suggest we remain on topic and if you want to argue with me on a personal level that you take it to PM. Then I can ignore you and your 924 there as well.
924Srr27lEldavo - "The standard ECU works by guesstimating air flow based on the 30 year old AFM and corroborating that to a lookup table to sort the fuelling and hoping it all works" That is how it works- Wayne will play with the numbers in the look up table and as I said earlier with off the shelf chips I had to increase the spring pressure to stop it opening early. Once the AFM is fully open - around 3800rpm If I remember correctly - you are then just reliant on maps based on throttle position / rpm / knock sensor for your ignition and fueling. The modern options allow airflow monitoring throughout the full rev range, Vitesse manages it with the standard ecu but with a board in the chip socket. In addition to full range airflow monitoring you can smooth the path of the airflow and a maf or map setup is less restrictive.Tony

No 2082, IZA Discussion Papers from Institute of Labor Economics (IZA)
In this paper we use a new data set describing households with and without twin children in China to quantify the trade-off between the quality and quantity of children using the incidence of twins that for the first time takes into account effects associated with the lower birthweight and closer-spacing of twins compared to singleton births. We show that examining the effects of twinning by birth order, net of the effects stemming from the birthweight deficit of twins, can provide upper and lower bounds on the trade-off between family size and average child quality. Our estimates indicate that, at least in one area of China, an extra child at parity one or at parity two, net of birthweight effects, significantly decreases the schooling progress, the expected college enrollment, grades in school and the assessed health of all children in the family. We also show that estimates of the effects of twinning at higher parities on the outcomes of older children in prior studies do not identify family size effects but are confounded by inter-child allocation effects because of the birthweight deficit of twins. Despite the evident significant trade-off between number of children and child quality in China, however, the findings suggest that the contribution of the one-child policy in China to the development of its human capital was modest.

On SS2, the first to start according to yesterday's choice of starting positions was the crew #201 – Vladimir Vasilyev / Konstantin Zhiltsov. Not surprisingly they were the first to finish the stage. Vladimir Vasilyev: "It was very fast and narrow with lots of turns and series of turns. It's like left – right, left – right, right, right…"
Starting in the third position with a 6-minute time interval, his dire competition and the fastest driver at baja RUSSIA – Northern Forest 2016 Tapio Lauronen finished only for minutes after Valdimir Vasilyev's crew. Tapio is rarely seen smiling, and that was one of those rare moments at the finish of SS2. Tapio Lauronen: "A very good surface, it all went smoothly! Khorosho!"
Following the Finns, at the Parc Ferme entrance emerges crew #202 Andrey N. / Vladimir N. with a few stretches of signal tape across the windshield. "Didn't manage a turn, had to cut it off a bit"
-Can you share your impressions after the shorter SS today?
Andrey Novikov: It was kind of a training session for the longer and harder SS3. After the shorter route we are expecting a bigger one, and then even a bigger one (loughing).The car is going, the wheels are rotating. The co-driver is shouting something at me, everything's rolling! The road surface is much better than we had expected before the start. No thaw, the road is clear. And there are lots of most interesting turn combinations in the forest – kind of 3d, with elevations and everything. You can easily take off at one of them. The breastworks are so tall, it seems that if you hit one or the other you will just bump off them, but if you drive across, there will be quite a problem to get back on the road by yourself.
The forth to finish was Miroslav Zapletal: "it was pretty dark when the SS started and the visibility was impaired. After 20 or 30 km of SS we didn't manage a right turn, and the visibility was one of the reasons why. Otherwise, the first leg was superb. Let's see what the next one brings us. I guess the surface will change to the worse – there have been too many cars there already. And we had miscalculated before the start and poured a bit too much fuel ,so the car was heavier and I had to drive a bit more carefully than I would wish to. But as I was saying, the race will finish on Sunday (smiles)."
The next to arrive to Parc Ferme was the crew Benedictas Vanagas / Bartolomej Boba. The co-driver is admiring the stage's route, "it's beautiful, fast, simply wonderful! So far we were not going at full possible speed, the snow surface is still new to us. But we will try to go faster at the next stage. I am impressed at how prompt was the Russian competitor that allowed us to overtake his car during the SS. They had to brake hard to almost full stop, while we were passing them without slowing down at all."
Right behind Benedictas, crew #205 arrived to Parc Ferme. Andrey Rudnitsky (he was the gentleman driver) sharing his impressions: "It was as always fast and fun! We are getting used bit by bit to the intricacies of a winter race. Going slowly still, but the average speed is anyway pretty high. And you should see how Vanagas is driving! This is something! He overtook us after around 80 kilometers, and was speeding off. I managed to stay "glued" to him, and that, perhaps, helped us to go faster during the rest of the distance. And in general everything is going well, the co-driver is working well, and we are driving in our own pace."

Dear Dunkin and Starbucks,
I love you both. I truly do, but we need to talk. Pull up a seat, sit down, relax, I'll pour you a nice hot cup of coffee. Would you like milk or cream in your coffee? Oh, you want non-dairy milk? Ok that will cost you extra, my dear. What? Not fair? Exactly. Often, I am granted with coupons to Dunkin or Starbucks and I become super excited. Or they are having some promotion where if you go between a certain time, their drinks are cheaper.
On Friday, I decided to stop in at Dunkin to treat myself to a white chocolate latte. It's a new flavor and I wanted to test it out. If you visit them between the hours of 2 and 6, their lattes are $2 each + tax of course. Ok So I'm looking at spending $2.07. But wait! I have a $2 coupon, so 7 cent latte here I come. When I order my latte I ask for almond milk because I am dairy free. I am allergic to dairy and will break out into hives or develop a rash around my mouth when I eat too much of it. I also am lactose intolerant and will spend most of my time hanging out in the restroom if I consume dairy. Not my idea of a good time. The woman scans my coupon and tells me I owe her 67 cents. Uh excuse me, no I owe you 7 cents for the tax. She informs me they charge extra for almond milk. What why? So I have to pay extra for having an allergy. You should be ashamed. Starbucks too! If you read the fine print on their menu, they charge you extra for soy, almond, or coconut milk. Honestly that's crazy. You are charging your customers more for plant-based milk but will gladly serve regular milk or cream that is filled with puss, blood, and other garbage to your customers. (Ok, I really don't want to get into a debate about dairy products. Honestly, what other mammal drinks another mammal's milk besides humans? But yeh, I'm a hypocrite because my son loves cow's milk and I give it to him.) Honestly, I don't blame you Dunkin and Starbucks. Ok, well I do blame you because you could do better. I also blame the people out there that want to be "cool" by drinking non-dairy milk. You ruined it for us folks with allergies. You made it become a trend to drink non-dairy. You made it hipster. And FYI it's not that much healthier than dairy milk. Soy milk (although I find it very delicious, wreaks havoc on women's' bodies), coconut milk can be quite fattening, and almond milk can be filled with added crap we don't need. Also, lots of sugar. That's why I buy unsweetened. But you're def not getting that at Dunkin or Starbucks. I wish they wouldn't charge extra because there are so many people out there with dairy intolerances and it's just not fair. It's not fair that I literally must pay for my allergy. LITERALLY, with money. So, will I boycott Dunkin or Starbucks? No, probably not. However, I will not be visiting your establishments unless it's a special occasion and I will die a little inside every time you charge me extra.

Stay Safe Online from Calgary Police Service
Scam alert – fraudsters pose as Canada Revenue Agency
Nearly every day, the Calgary Police Service receives reports of scammers posing as agents of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) or Immigration Canada (IC). Unfortunately, scammers have obtained thousands of dollars from several unsuspecting victims. So how does the scam work and how can you protect yourself?
The CRA scam, and many similar ones, usually follows the same pattern. Victims are contacted via phone by people pretending to be a CRA or IC employee. The fraudsters claim that the victim owes back taxes and that they need to pay money to correct the issue, or they will be arrested or deported. Sometimes, the scammers have valid personal information about victims and their families, such as names and birthdays, to try to legitimize the fraudulent claim.
The scammers can become very aggressive and may begin to threaten victims. Victims are then told to send money through a wire service or to purchase prepaid credit cards or gift cards. Once the money is gone, it is nearly impossible to trace.
You can help protect yourself from phone and email scams by following these tips:
- Do not feel pressure to respond to a request until you have a chance to verify the story.
- Never transfer money, or give out credit card or other financial information, until you can verify the person's identity and the story, and determine whether it is legitimate.
- The CRA will not ask for payment via prepaid credit cards or wire transfer.
- Some scammers are using a technique called spoofing where the caller ID looks like the call is legitimately coming from the CRA or IC. Hang up and look up published numbers for the agency in the phone book or online and call them directly to confirm the legitimacy of the caller's story before you take any action. Do not call numbers provided to you by the person who called you.
- Don't believe what you see. Business logos, websites and email addresses can easily be duplicated to look legitimate.
- Watch for poor grammar and spelling.
- Hover your mouse over links to check their true destination. If the URL doesn't match the link, or seems suspicious, don't click on it.
- Be wary of unexpected emails that contain links or attachments from unknown senders.
- Update your computer's anti-virus software.
- Ignore calls for immediate action or messages that create a sense of urgency.
- Beware of phishing emails posing as the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) requesting personal information, or links within an email re-directing to a fraudulent website that appears to represent the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The CRA does not email Canadians and request personal information.
- Never provide personal information such as SIN, bank account information or credit card numbers.
If you have been contacted by one of these scammers, but did not lose money, please report it online by visiting www.calgarypolice.ca. Victims of the scam are encouraged to contact the Calgary Police non-emergency number at 403-266-1234.

A complete rebuilding of the 25-year-old Duro war vehicle was under a bad star from the beginning: In 2016, Armasuisse armed forces asserted that the 2220 Duro was restored 212 to # 000 francs per piece, even though it was only 170 & # 39 ;. 000 francs costs. The order for the reconstruction of half a billion francs was dedicated to a factory plant in Thurgau Mowag. The call was never completed. The project was very controversial. It was agreed that Mowag rehabilitates 48 Duro per month.
Research shows that Mowag has recently rebuilt a tenth of 2220 vehicles. And: She did not deliver a single vehicle for ten months. Reason for stopping: Armasuisse and Mowag have selected a new special engine of a small Austrian engine manufacturer Steyr Motors for the revised Duro. A company owned by Chinese investors had to file bankruptcy at the end of last year. The renovation of Duro had to be stopped.
Armasuisse was informed only under the pressure of the media
Martin Sonderegger, who was already looking for a new engine at that time, was happy in February that the renewal could continue, and the engines would be re-delivered. The problem was solved. Reason for optimism: the Austrian bankruptcy administrator has aroused the hope that interested parties who will soon buy a car builder in bankruptcy will be interested. Just: an anniversary message turned out to be a naïve misconception. Search for a buyer for Steyr Motors continues today. That is why the reconstruction of the Duro has been blocked to date.
Over the past few weeks, they have found that they need a new engine supplier. According to research by the magazine, Mowag has received bids from several engine manufacturers and has selected the Fiat engine. Armasuisse and Mowag wanted to keep it. Upon request, they announced this week that they would be notified within two weeks. When SonntagsZeitung made it clear that they would publish the survey, Armasuisse started offensive and informed the public on Friday of delivery of delivery and engine problems.
Even late, more expensive
However, with the change of supplier Armasuisse and Mowag only create new problems. Because the installation of the second engine should change the concept of driving, as explained by the technique involved. In addition, long-running driving tests are required. It will use money and more time. Internal participants count with a delay of at least half a year. Armasuisse already acknowledges that there will be further delays in delivery. Whether the new engine is successful is uncertain. There are extensive tests. Another problem: in 215 vehicles that were completely rebuilt a year ago, the new Steyr engine had to be replaced one year ago with a new refurbished engine, so the army does not need to run two spare parts stores.
Just because of the engine, additional costs of 3,500 francs per vehicle per vehicle are generated, namely 7,7 million francs. These additional expenditures are financed by taxpayers' money. Armasuisse writes that it will not exceed the approved maximum loan of CHF 558 million. And Mowag must pay a penalty. Their height is not mentioned.

When the Washington state Legislature gets back to work in January it will be poised to continue its run of support for early learning. But, the budget landscape is marked by one significant feature: the state Supreme Court's demand for a substantial down payment on a multi-billion investment in K-12 education.
Heading into the session, early learning supporters are optimistic that legislators will continue developing the state's quality rating and improvement system Early Achievers, improving child care subsidies and supporting professional development. The top vehicle for that progress will be the next version of the Early Start bill, legislation that debuted last session and would have made improvements to early learning around the state.
According to the Early Learning Action Alliance, in this legislative session, the measure should:
- Leverage Early Achievers to expand access to high-quality care for families in the greatest need
- Improve child care stability for families by authorizing subsidies for 12 months and awarding slots to high quality programs
- Add financial incentives and career paths for early educators
There will be a multi-billion-dollar caveat in 2015, however. In September, the state Supreme Court ruled the Legislature was not following its court order in the landmark McCleary v. State decision, which held Washington is underfunding public education to the tune of billions of dollars, the Seattle Times reported. The court held the Legislature in contempt but gave it this coming session to approve a funding plan, according to the Times.
Some think this ruling could complicate the early learning debate — pre-kindergarten, preschool and child care are not part of the state's official definition of public education. But some legislators say early learning must be part of the McCleary conversation and solution because schools save money when children get great, high-quality early learning and need fewer support resources when they enter school.
Another priority for early learning supporters will be expansion of the infrastructure of high-quality early education the state has been building for a decade, albeit perhaps at a slower pace than some will like. This will include expanding the state preschool system, the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP). Under an existing plan, the ECEAP program will cover all eligible families across the state by 2018-19.
This session, there will be a lot of moving pieces, and it remains to be seen how those pieces will fit with early learning. Stay tuned.

Aryon done and done :D
Arys and Aryon bundled into one ESP
EDIT: Arys to Dreloth as per the spreadsheet
Sorry for not working on this regularly... Just been terribly busy.
Anyways, here is part one of Ancestral Tomb: Alen Ancestral Tomb to Maren Ancestral Tomb (40+ tombs)
i'm currently working on mines and caves meshing / cluttering/ navmeshing and all. I thought it would also be nice to tackle some script and some AI tweaking, So I thought I would post here. I'm finishing up MInabi + Minabi bandit lair, and I have claimed about 7 other locations, so I might as well work on all aspects :p . I think I fixed a bug with the quest item needed to release the slaves there, I'm still trying to understand the logic of it all...I can send the esp of what I've done so far on the caves and you can merge it (been at it for a couple of months)
edit : I'm also working on a script that will make all slaves wearing slave bracers drop them on the floor once the player has freed them with a key. As far as I know it's not done yet so i've already created a Slave outfit with only those slave bracers on and i guess the script will need to be attached to each slave NPC ( I wanted to attach the script directly to the faction but I can't :p too bad)
If there's anything I need to know about this please tell me
Cheers !
Have a look at the dialogue MDQGoFree, MDQGoFree1 in MorroDefaultQuest. If the slave has his bracer, I consider him not free. On the dialogue I remove the bracer, so it is now free for me. At present, the bracer disappear. If you want to make them drop on the floor you should update this script fragment.
Finally, done at last. Here is my final file to be merged:
Nelas Ancestral Tomb to Verelnim Ancestral Tomb (30+ dungeons)
This posting completes the task assigned to me.
I volunteer! Please I really wanna help!
This is a really old thread. I honestly have no idea what the status of this is as Digital Paranoid isn't involved with the site anymore. If you want to help I'd check out our newest development video to see where you can learn some skills if you are truly interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql3FNCrYkGU

Two million Muslims gather in Saudi Arabia this week for the Haj as the annual pilgrimage becomes increasingly hi-tech with apps to help the faithful navigate Islam's holiest sites.
MECCA, Saudi Arabia: This year the Haj comes with the ultra-conservative kingdom witnessing an unprecedented pace of change, finally ending a ban on women driving while remaining firm in the face of any dissent.
One of the five pillars of the world's fastest-growing religion, the Haj is expected to draw two million people from around the globe this year.
By Thursday (Aug 16), more than 1.6 million people had already arrived in Saudi Arabia for the pilgrimage, which runs from Sunday to Friday.
Thousands could be seen arriving in Mecca, with groups from different countries wearing distinct colours to set them apart.
Some pilgrims pushed their elderly relatives on wheelchairs while others stopped to call family members back home on video chat or buy ice cream as temperatures soared above 40 degrees Celsius.
Pilgrims then perform rituals around the Kaaba and on the Mount Arafat plain east of Mecca.
The Haj ends with Eid al-Adha, a three-day feast which starts with the "stoning of the devil".
Eid al-Adha also includes the slaughter of sheep, with the meat distributed to Muslims in need. The ritual symbolises Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son, Ishmael, on the order of God.
The Haj presents the Saudi authorities with major logistical challenges.
The Pew Research Center says the number of Muslims in the world is expected to rise from 1.8 billion in 2015 to three billion in 2060.
This year, the Saudis have launched a "smart Haj" initiative, with apps to help pilgrims with everything from travel plans to medical care.
Asefny, for example, is an app launched by Saudi Arabia's Red Crescent to help pilgrims request emergency medical attention.
Authorities are able to locate those in need through the app.
The Saudi Haj ministry also runs the Manasikana app, which provides translation for pilgrims who do not speak Arabic or English.

Shotguns + Lace | Lacy + Jake Wedding | Sutter, Ca. 2017
Mr. + Mrs. Winship | 2017
June 2017, hidden in the Sutter Buttes in Sutter, Ca. is the home of the Bicknell family and where Lacy and Jake became husband and wife. This was the first real wedding Lonnie + I shot together doing pictures + video. The sky was covered in these amazing clouds, the weather was around 79 degrees and love was filling the air.
This was a very classy vintage country wedding, honestly hard not to love it! We started off with the guys getting ready and doing some pictures in the front yard. It wouldn't be a Sutter wedding if guns were not photographed.
From the shotguns we went inside to visit the ladies flowers, hairspray + lace. I knew a good portion of this bridal party which made the day that much more fun! These girls are some of the sweetest ladies in all the land. Lacy's sister-in-law, who is fantastic, did her hair while the other girls watched along side and got ready.
Now on to the wedding. Fun fact about Jake + Lacy, they met at church. Rumor on the street is her parents picked him out before Lacy even met him. Their Pastor, Doug Smith of Hope Point Nazarene Church in Yuba City, Ca. married them.
Aren't they just perfect? After this we loaded Lacy and Jake in our car and headed 3 minutes up the road to the Sacramento River to do some pictures of the two love birds.
Dreamy or what?! Yea. We walked straight back into the reception and it was a party! The ambiance was perfect, lights strung everywhere, tea lights and simple but well placed decorations really created a romantic evening. There was dancing, a tractor filled with drinks and so many sentimental toast it was hard to keep a dry eye.
Such a fun night! This was my first wedding back after baby! It was so good to see people, have a break and do what I love alongside Lonnie. It was Lonnie's first time with his new camera shooting video. Follow the link Here to see it! I hope you enjoyed a dip back in time to a very special day! Congrats again to Lacy + Jake Winship!

Hello friends, I want to know "how is it possible you got twins by IVF treatment". Actually last year I got a baby boy with IVF treatment from Dr. Sumita Sofat Hospital, Ludhiana, India. Doctors tell me that you have chances to get twins but not done. So, Now I am excited to get twins. Is getting a chance to give birth to the twins through IVF. Is it safe or not?
Is it possible to get Twins Via IVF?
Why not? If you want to have twins go ahead and ask your dr if you can go for it. If your body is prepared.
It is usually 1-2 embryos that are transferred and it can potentially lead to multiple pregnancies.
But you have to see for yourself. If your body is strong enough to provide both of the embryos with enough nutrition.
We won't be asking for twins or anything of that sort. Even though we have signed for surrogacy with World center of baby. We are just not that skilled hehe
I was not trying to conceive as I was infertile for forever. I had hysterectomy cancer at early stages. We had the right treatment for it but I was infertile for life after its treatment. I was unhappy because I was infertile for life. But husband supported me and said we will have a baby from surrogacy. He took a long break from his work and start our journey. Soon we will be back at home with babies in our arms.
Hi, dear! Depending on your situation they will select between one and three of the best quality embryos and then transfer them to your womb.
An embryo must successfully attach itself to the wall of the womb for pregnancy to begin. So they'll tell you continue taking needed meds.
The exact procedure for embryo transfer depends on the clinic you are in. If you are under the age of 40, one or two embryos can be replaced. If you are 40 or over, a maximum of three embryos can be used. (Unless you are using donated eggs, when the maximum is two because these eggs will be from donors who are not older than 35).
If you have good quality embryos, those that are not transferred can be frozen. Some clinics may also offer blastocyst transfer, where embryos are transferred five to six days after fertilization. For ex. we had 2 shots IVF with donor eggs each time 2 nice 5-day blasts transferred. (Our clinic is in Ukraine).
The doctor or nurse doing the embryo transfer inserts a speculum into your vagina. A catheter is passed through the cervix, normally using ultrasound guidance. The embryos are passed down the tube into the womb. This is normally a pain-free procedure and usually no sedation is necessary. But you may experience a little discomfort because you need a full bladder if ultrasound is used. It is generally recommended that you lead a gentle lifestyle during the few days after embryo transfer.
About two weeks after the embryo transfer, you will be given a pregnancy blood test.
Yes, It is possible to get twins via IVF. But not all embryos that are transferred result in live births, and even if only one embryo is transferred, that embryo could split, leading to twins
What do you, ladies, think about the gender selection issue??
The question sounds quite intricate to me. My clinic, for example, does not normally engage in the practice of gender selection. I believe the goal of the treatment is a healthy pregnancy, not a specific gender. Accordingly, an exception is if a couple is at risk of having a child with a genetic disorder linked to a particular gender. Just because you can do something doesn't actually mean you should. It's a slippery slope. If we start selecting for gender, people could start requesting a certain eye or hair color, or height. Anyway, I've read somewhere, after embryos are screened, in only about 15 to 20 percent of cases are there equally healthy embryos of each gender to choose from.
What are your opinions? TIA

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon has had a busy few weeks running one of the world's premier investment banks, but that hasn't stopped him from releasing a new dance single.
Solomon, who goes by DJ D-Sol, last month released a follow-up to his first single "Don't Stop." The up-beat tune is called "Feel Alive," featuring singer Katt Rockwell. Last week, he released another version of the song remixed by DJ Morgan Page which can be heard here. On his Instagram page, he calls it his first original song.
It's good to know that Solomon still has time to pursue his musical interests. Last month, he addressed analysts on an earnings conference call for the first time as CEO, spending some time speaking about the 1MDB scandal. Solomon is also engaged in a company-wide review of businesses and flew to Davos, Switzerland last week to meet clients.

a little over a week ago, my family and i made the 3.5 hour drive up to stowe, vermont for a few days of skiing. it was a super easy drive coming from massachusetts, and extremely beautiful once you hit the mountains. i loved seeing the snow once we crossed over state lines! (for those of you who are reading this, yes, as hard as it is to believe…there still isn't any snow in boston).
we stayed at the stowe mountain resort, which is legitimately slopeside perfection. it is an internationally renowned four-season destination nestled at the base of the majestic mt. mansfield, which is the highest peak in all of vermont! the resort is packed with activities and adventures for everyone of all ages.
we ended up renting a room located in the stowe mountain lodge (at the resort) through stowe mountain rentals. sounds confusing, but let me break it down for you. essentially you "rent" a room in the lodge that is owned by stowe mountain rentals, while still being able to enjoy most of the amenities the lodge has to offer (we actually found it to be cheaper than booking a room through the lodge!). the only amenities that aren't included in the rental were: daily maid service & access to the exercise room ($50 per visit). since we were only staying for a few days, missing out on these two amenities didn't bother us at all.
first and foremost, this is a ski-on, ski-off resort. which is just the best thing ever. there are trails mere steps from the lodge, or you can take the "over-easy" gondola to the main mountain. the resort has over 100 trails ranging from easy to extremely difficult. going off my experience, i would say this mountain is one of the harder ones i've skied (mainly because most of the trails are quite steep!).
have you ever heard of alpine concierge? i hadn't before staying at stowe mountain resort. it's a total game changer! instead of having to lug your equipment to and from the mountain, you essentially "check-in" your skis and poles upon arrival. they are stored and taken care of for you at the lodge, and when you're ready to ski, the staff has them waiting for you. it sounds so simple, but having this completely taken care of during our entire trip felt like we were being spoiled!
there's something so beautiful about snow covered trees. the views here were absolutely incredible. i couldn't help myself, i kept stopping to take pictures as i was skiing down the mountain!
one of the things we enjoyed most about staying at stowe mountain resort was that they offer many other activities besides skiing. they have a skating rink right outside the lodge, as well as a little marketplace with clothing stores, a handful of coffee shops, a few places to eat, and even a toy shop with penny candy. and although we didn't have the chance to check it out, the resort has a state-of-the-art rock climbing gym, located in their adventure center. perfect for kids who are always on-the-go! and on the flip side, if finding your zen after a long day of hitting the slopes is more your style, the lodge's spa and wellness center has your name written all over it. when we go back next time, i'm definitely booking massages for me and my mom!
and although you could probably just spend most of your time within the resort, don't forget to check out the surrounding area of stowe. from cross-country skiing at the nearby vonn trapp family lodge (think sound of music!) to snow-shoeing near smuggler's notch, to grabbing a beer at a local brewery, there's really no shortage of things to do.
all-in-all, it was such a great trip. we're already planning our next one for winter 2020!

anufacturing hubs that make use of internet of things (IoT) are on the rise. The concept of industrial IoT started to become more pronounced in 2016 and actual introduction to production sites happened in 2018.
From 2019 onwards, industry players believe industrial IoT will spread more intensely.
Production processes are diversifying because of the high-quality assembly for computerized vehicles, the continuing influx of mobile devices, increase in demand of industrial equipment for production automation, diversification of needs of consumers, among many others. For this reason, manufacturing techniques and devices need to be changed.
Surface mounter manufacturers connect devices on production lines through local area network (LAN) and digitize and exchange production data to visualize the state of operations. Then, they accumulate, analyze, and process the data by cloud or edge computing. IoT and machine-to-machine (M2M) maximize production line performance, streamlining management ranging from production planning and process preparation to shipment arrangement.
Leads Global Scene
Smart factories are continuously evolving to propel its use. In order to make factories smarter, which include the pre- and post-processes for assembly, companies are expanding their tie-ups and collaborations. In pre-processes, parts warehouses and automated guided vehicles (AGV) are combined as a system while automation of odd-shaped parts mounting and robots doing screw-tightening are employed in post processes.
FUJI Corporation has heightened its FUJI Smart Factory system, not only in Japan, but in other countries as well including China. Globally, more than 200 companies have already introduced this system.
Nobuyuki Soga, President, FUJI Corporation, said, "In order for Japan to lead the world as a technological powerhouse, Japan's assembly industry need to spearhead Industry 4.0".
FUJI's Nexim integrated-production system (assembly software) can prepare the data required for initiating production of multiple product models and can also make production plans. The system, moreover, provides a scheduling function for the entire assembly process, allowing precise time estimations ranging from preparation of necessary materials to completion of production in production lines.
Moves to Gen2 Version
Panasonic Corporation offers the iLNB integrated-line management system as a total manufacturing process solution to implement a smart factory. The system is based on the company's PanaCIM-EE integrated-production management software for manufacturing execution system (MES).
PanaCIM-EE, as an MES, can find out the status of each process on assembly lines and support operators. The company started in Oct. 2018 to accept orders for PanaCIM-EE Gen2, a functionally enhanced version of PanaCIM-EE. While the old software allows one computer to control Panasonic-made devices on assembly lines, the new software makes it possible for one computer to control devices, including those made by other companies, and to collect and analyze information on these devices on the production line in real time.
Streamlines Processes in Plants
Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. offers Intelligent Factory, an integrated system based on surface-mount lines. The system allows comprehensive streamlining of plants including mainly the company's surface mounters and also in combination with other companies' devices such as assembly parts storage systems and reflow furnaces. Necessary functions such as programming, scheduling, and production support are provided as individual software packages. Users can introduce the system in a step-by-step manner according to their investment scale by selecting the desired functions from these packages.
Optimizes Variable Mix, Variable Volume
JUKI Corporation is globally offering JUKI Smart Solution proposals based on its JUKI Advanced Network system (JaNets) assembly integration system. The company has recently developed a printed circuit board (PCB) production optimization solution by further enhancing JaNets in collaboration with Hitachi Ltd.
The new solution optimizes variable-mix, variable-volume production. JaNets comes with five software packages that optimize PCB production lines, including production progress and result management, operation result analysis, failure analysis and facility maintenance, and stock management.

Sinclair Broadcasting requires all of the local TV stations it owns to air weekly editorial videos featuring Boris Epshteyn, a former Trump aide. Those editorial videos are some of the most ridiculous propaganda pieces you can ever imagine. In the latest, Epshteyn said that Trump has had one of the most successful administrations in history and deserves to be on Mt. Rushmore.
Sinclair Broadcast Group's Boris Epshteyn celebrated Presidents Day by releasing a new "must-run" segment suggesting President Donald Trump's face ought to be added on Mount Rushmore.
In the segment, Epshteyn argued that "we are lucky" to have Trump as president and that the Trump administration "so far has been … one of the most successful in our nation's history." Epshteyn, a former Trump aide who has signed a nondisparagement agreement that may prevent him from criticizing the president, concluded, "In just over two years of the Trump administration, we have seen great progress benefiting Americans. If this keeps up, much to the chagrin of many Democrats, the presidents on Mount Rushmore may have to make room for a new addition."
It boggles the mind that anyone could say such a thing with a straight face.

artist's tool kit – brushes
Word of the Day – Absorbency
Brushes hold a reservoir of paint, allowing them to be used for more than a few strokes. A brushes' absorbency refers to how much paint and medium it holds. Natural brush hair is comprised of scales, increasing the strands overall surface area, allowing it to hold more paint and offering more control for thin applications of paint, as the flow of paint and medium occurs at a steadier pace. Natural brushes also have 'flags' which are similar to what we would call split ends. These flags also allow for even flow and distribution of paint. Recent innovations in creating and blending synthetic hair have been very successful at mimicking the effect of scales and flags and offer incredible absorbency, longevity and value based pricing. In some applications, a synthetic is the best choice depending on the technique and medium used.
Today I want to talk about the part of the brush that does the brushing; hair. Brush hair (often referred to as filaments or bristles) can be broken down into two main categories; natural and synthetic.
Natural is made from animal hair and ranges from very soft Sable to stiff bristled Hog. Sable is naturally conical in shape, has spring and tapers to a point, which makes it great for thin layers of paint and detail. It is costly and wears quickly. Stiff bristle brushes, like Hog, come in varying qualities and also have flags. Good quality hog uses strong, inward curved bristles, which stay in place and are great for pushing around heavier bodied paint.
Synthetic brushes come in a range of different shapes, styles and diameters. Certain types of synthetic hair are superior to natural hair depending on their construction and companies like Princeton are at the forefront of the synthetic hair revolution, creating brushes that perform like sable, titled, Syn-Sable and stiffer brushes with flagged tips, simulating natural hair. Recent innovations in brush making have resulted in unique blends of both synthetic and natural hair to create various effects.
Hair Blends
Blending hair is an art form in itself and involves generations of experience. Below is a photograph of various brush styles from the Select #3750 brush line that are unique due the blend used to create them.
Basic Shapes
Rounds, flats, filberts, angles and wash brushes (standard shapes and sizes) within the same series are often comprised of the same blend for consistency and maximum performance. A great blend of synthetic involves knowledge of various hair diameters, interlocking, tapering and shape to create the right spring and ensure quality.
Bristle Bright (Bristle Basecoater)
I love this brush for my slip slap basecoats. When I undercoat a canvas or another surface, my initial coat is almost always done with a 4" foam roller to ensure an eggshell texture. The coats after that are done with the Bristle Bright or as I call it, Basecoater. It is a natural hair brush with flagged ends, holds a lot of paint and adds a soft texture to the acrylic undercoats.
Oval Mop (Ultimate Decoupage and Varnish Brush)
Is an innovative synthetic hair crimped to mimic the shape and movement of natural hair. This is an amazing brush for decoupage and varnish.
Lunar Blender
The Lunar is comprised of a blend of 50% stiff bristle and 50% synthetic hair, allowing paint to settle on the outside of the hair, while distributing evenly throughout the bristles for textured effects like drybrushing, foliage and I frequently use it for the fluffy areas of a bird.
Shop for these brushes at your local Princeton Artist Brush Co. Retailer.
