TBS moduł Crossfire Micro , 5x Odbiornik Nano Bundle
TBS moduł Crossfire Micro , 5x Odbiornik Nano Bundle
Idealny zestaw na start aby zacząć przygodę z TBS Crossfire.
TBS Crossfire Micro Starter Set
The tried and true TBS Crossfire Micro RX with a pricing to make the entry as painless and seamless as possible! It comes with everything to get you in the air with at least 4 quads and at least 1 wing, at an unbeatable price!
For more information about the individual products, please visit the respective product pages on our site.
The set includes
A new era of connectivity
The TBS CROSSFIRE is a long range R/C link based on the newest RF technology, capable of self-healing two-way communications and range beyond comprehension. With a sensitivity of -130dB, full RF-side diveristy, tiny receivers for FPV quads, the TBS CROSSFIRE contains the most modern technology to provide a superior long range control link.
Remote control links, however, are tasked with much more than range. Latency, telemetry, robustness against interference, ease of use and the overall finish are too often sacrificed for that last bit of range. The Crossfire comes with plenty of range, and uses that margin for additional functionality and reliability. A bright future for FPV lies ahead :)
Boiled down to simplicity
The Crossfire Micro TX borrows the core technology from its larger brother, but is a JR-module transmitter simplified to the most sought-after features, at a killer price! For people looking to do extreme long range flights beyond 15-20km, the Crossfire TX is still the way to go. For anyone looking to penetrate buildings, fly mini quads or just explore your surroundings a few kilometers away, the Micro TX is the perfect companion. It will still go out up to 40km, just like its bigger brother. But it costs less than half the price.
It Just Works
Apart from unparalelled range, the thing that we are most proud about on the TBS CROSSFIRE is that it just works. In the past, our question always was "could our R/C link keep up?". With the TBS CROSSFIRE comes peace of mind. But don't take our word for it. All leading drone racing organizers require pilots to fly the TBS Crossfire. All top drone racers fly the TBS Crossfire. The furthest long range missions are flown with TBS Crossfire. Now it has become affordable to the masses as a general purpose radio link!
Telemetry / CRSF
As a modern R/C link, it has telemetry built in. Two-way communication opens up new possibilities. From streaming MAVLink to you smart device (no Mavlink stream support for Crossfire Micro TX!), to updating your firmware, setting your video transmitter channel or adjusting flight control parameters such as PIDs. Adaptive bandwidth controls the speed of transmission or optimizes for ultimate range. CRSF is a proprietary TBS communication protocol between the Crossfire and R/C and Flight Control. It provides ultra-low latency with incredible bandwidth (3x faster, 6x more data than any comparable protocol!). With such tight integration, the TBS Crossfire is the logical choice for anyone flying Betaflight, KiSS or ArduPilot/Pixhawk platforms.

Ajit makes Dual Role in Asal.
April 17, 2009
The next fim of Ajit after a long period is "ASAL" .In this film Ajit will play a double role again in 'Asal'–one a ruthless don and the other, a sincere police officer out to catch him red-handed, say rumour mills. The suspense of the film centres on who the 'asal' (real) cop is, they say.
The pooja of the film, being produced by Sivaji Productions, was held last week. As with any Ajit movie, rumours about the storyline and his character are spreading like wildfire in Kollywood.
Ajit, after the flop of his much hyped 'Aegan', has been very careful about evry stap he takes. 'Asal' is being directed by Saran, who directed him in another double role for 'Attagasam'.
Ajit's big mustachioed get up for the film has already become a talking point for his fans. Sameera Reddy plays one of the heroines and a hunt is on for the other. Bharadwaj scores the music for the film.

Fast forward to Feb. 26, 2006, when Michael was found slumped over in his car near Hyde Park in London. The singer was found in possession of drugs and was once again arrested. At a press conference, Michael made the statement that it was "his own stupid fault, as usual."
On Sunday, April 16, George crashed into three parked cars near his London home. However, this time he's placing the responsibility for the intense media scrutiny of his actions on Sir Elton John. Back in 2004 Elton commented that Michael's woes were caused by "deep-rooted unhappiness."
During an interview with chat show host Michael Parkinson, which is set to air in the UK on Saturday, Michael says, "The trajectory of my particular soap opera [with the press] launched from that statement Elton made..." George also said that he has been trying to prove Elton wrong.
Although the press hasn't been very good to George over the last eight years, it hasn't killed his career. Michael is still one of the UK's most successful artists of all time, selling over 80 million records worldwide. He is scheduled to start his first tour in 15 years this fall.

Local History
Thirston (Northumberland)
Thirston parish lies in the lowlands of south-east Northumberland with the River Coquet forming a natural boundary along the north side. There are a range of remains within the parish from the Mesolithic to modern era.
Finds of flint knapping waste at West Moor Farm and Thirston, show the earliest remains in the parish to be Mesolithic. Mesolithic people probably followed plant, animal and fish resources on an annual or seasonal basis so it is unknown how long they may have spent West Moor ' it may have been only a couple of hours, days or perhaps longer-term.
A Neolithic presence is known from two stone axes found near Felton and near Thirston. Perhaps they were used to fell trees or clear away undergrowth.
In the Bronze Age only one possible site is known. A barrow was excavated but contained an iron spearhead that may mean the burial is rare evidence of Iron Age or later pagan burial. A series of enclosures that show up as cropmarks on aerial photographs may be Iron Age settlements and an enclosure near Catheugh might be a Roman farmstead.
The medieval period has more definite traces of settlement. Eshott Castle was built in the medieval period and probably had some kind of settlement clustered around it housing the owner's estate workers. A medieval pottery kiln near the castle would have provided goods to nearby settlements and is a rare example in North East England outside of a town. The earthworks of a deserted medieval village lie at Bockenfield and a small hermitage once stood near Helm.
Eshott seems to have escaped the effects of border raids carried out by reivers in the 16th and early 17th century. The later 17th century saw an earlier building incorporated into Bockenfield Farmhouse for the Heron family, decorated with pilasters with pineapples on top and the building of the original Eshott Hall. In the 18th and 19th century, industry and farming developed with a clay tilery and corn mill at Thirston and a coalmine at Eshott Colliery. A fine new farm was built at Hemelspeth, reflecting the changes that were taking in place in agriculture at this time. Some of the wealth from these ventures was spent on houses such as Eshott Hall, which was much altered in the 19th century, and Thirston House.
As a reminder to more recent conflict there is a range of surviving World War II (1939-45} structures, including three pillboxes overlooking parts of the Coquet in a stopline at Catheugh, West Moor and West Thirston. An airfield was also built at Eshott as a training school for pilots and is still in use today.

Mount Rushmore a monumental sculpture carved from a mountain
How were effigies of Mount Rushmore carvedFour giant faces look to the horizon from the side of a granite mountain located in United States, South Dakota. If they were also sculpted bodies, each figure would measure about 140 m high.
They are the faces of four former Presidents of that country, carved on the top of Mount Rushmore with pneumatic drills and dynamite by men perched on the edges of the slope. The imposing work took 14 years to complete, and was directed by John Gutzon Borglum, (picture below) a famous American sculptor of Danish origin.
The sculpted mountain is a national monument, and the four characters, chosen to represent the ideals of the nation, are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.
The idea of erecting the monument emerged from the historian Doane Robinson in 1923, he proposed was esculpieran effigies of heroes like Kit Carson and Buffalo Bill in a few columns of granite called the needles located in the same area as the Mount Rushmore. But Borglum considered that neither the column nor the project were appropriate, for he had the conviction that the work should have national significance.
The sculptor John Gutzon Borglum built their models work on a scale of 1:12 (an inch on these would be tantamount to a foot on the rock). His son Lincoln Borglum measures Jefferson model to make the transfer to Mount Rushmore. Once at the top of this helps operate a machine to measure and mark the drilling points.
The monument was sculpted between 1927 and 1941 at a cost of $990 000, mostly federal funds. The sculpture itself took 6.5 years to complete, but the work was slow because of financial problems in the early years, as well as climatic factors. The majority of people who sculpted the faces were miners or beds of the region, and during those 14 years worked about 360 employees in teams of 30 people on average.
Heads planning: Borglum chose Mount Rushmore, 1,745 m in height, for the fine grain of his granite, but even so it was necessary to remove tons of stone to expose the appropriate rock; for the head of Washington is desbastaron about 9 m, and the Roosevelt about 37 m. About 450 000 tonnes of rock, which are still at the foot of the mountain were removed throughout the work.
Borglum decided to sculpt head by head, starting with the of Washington; made her a model of 1.5 m in height (1/12 of the size that would be the real), on whose top set a plate marked in degrees flat. In the center of this and about a pivot then mounted a horizontal bar of steel of 76 cm. long graduated in inches, and bar suspended a plumb also marked in inches. When you turn the bar and move the Plumb to anywhere on the face, like a nostril, necessary measurements could be made.
To transfer the measurements of the model to the mountain, settled a similar mechanism that is 12 times larger than at the top, at the point chosen for the top of the head of Washington. Borglum called indicator machine fixture, and the men responsible for measuring, indicators.
Rock styled: After choosing the points, rock drilling to depth marked by the indicator to place dynamite in the holes and to fly about 15 cm. of the rock. Drilling had to be very precise, as a too-deep cut would remove stone over and would not be possible to restore it. Each drill worked attached to a leather seat hanging from a cable attached to a winch, a hole of 39 kg. of weight pendant of the same cable. The winch operator was situated at a point from which could not see to the punch, so I placed a boy subject with a safety device at the edge of the cliff so it relayed messages between them.
Work being hung around 76 m from the top was not easy, so to make enough pressure when drilling, Drillers before should reach a stretch of chain and pass it behind the seat. then they noticed the chain with steel nails in the rock.
Heads of State of four former Presidents of the United States faces were carved in Mount Rushmore: (from left to right.) George Washington, Thomas Jefferson. Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
Bits is embotaban every 15 minutes, and every day a blacksmith had to sharpen hundreds of them. As Drillers moved from one point to another of the mount, the barracks got loads in the holes; the blasts occurred two times a day: at lunchtime and at the end of the working day.
To cut and carve the stone to give the final dimensions, Drillers made close together lines of small holes to remove the final layer with steel hammers and wedges, and then smoothed"the surface with special drills.
Borglum decided to sculpt head by head, starting with the of Washington; made her a model of 1.5 m in height (1/12 of the size that would be the real), on whose top set a plate marked in degrees flat.
Setbacks: The head of Washington was completed in 1930, and soon began working with the Jefferson. He started on the left of the first (from the viewer's perspective), but in 1934 appeared a stratum of rock of low quality that forced to destroy the incomplete head and relocate the sculpture to the right of Washington.
As the rock on the other side had large cracks, it was roughing 18 m to achieve the appropriate layer, leaving only the thick enough between the cliff and the deep canyon situated behind it. But a split in the place where would go nose forced Børglum to alter the angle of the head, and other minor cracks were filled with a mixture of linseed oil, white lead and pulverized granite.
The head of Jefferson also has the only patch that is needed in all the work: to sculpt the upper lip appeared a reef of feldspar which could not be styled, so was eliminated and left a hole of about 60 cm long and 25 cm. deep. At the base of the cavity two steel nails were placed to support a cap of granite set with molten sulfur.
The master touch: Each head measuring 18 m in height and, on average, the nose of each measuring 6 m in length, mouth 5.5 m wide and eyes 3.4 m from one end to the other. To give character and expression to the faces on that scale was necessary to a master touch: Borglum gave eyes a glimmer of life leaving a column of granite about 56 cm. long as a pupil, the sunlight highlights against the shadow this way.
Borglum died on March 6, 1941, at the age of 73, shortly before the monument was completed. The finishing touches were supervised by his son Lincoln, (left image) that just being a teenager had worked as an indicator to the beginning of the project.

Digital has revolutionized the way consumers shop and think about brand loyalty, unraveling the traditional brand equity equation. The heightened level of product research consumers can conduct through digital channels makes it more difficult for brands to extract a premium based on their name alone, with seven in ten consumers no longer viewing brand loyalty as a reason to pay higher prices.
Additionally, the percentage of affluent consumers who can identify a favorite brand decreased significantly over the past decade, impacting a diverse set of brands at a variety of price points. Although consumers are becoming less emotionally tied to brands, they increasingly display transactional loyalty, which is dependent on ever-changing factors including price, positioning, and ease of shopping.
In times of traditional equity erosion, both formal loyalty programs as well as features that reward regular engagement form an important bulwark against defections. According to Gartner L2's recent report, Loyalty 2018: Balancing Risk Versus Reward, 43% of consumers would consider buying more to earn loyalty rewards from brands in categories that interest them. There is, however, room for improvement, as 44% of consumers in a loyalty program think brands could do more to maintain member loyalty.
However, amidst fading consumer allegiances, brands teeter uncomfortably between ramping up their loyalty investments or forgoing programs altogether. Within department stores alone, 15% of brands have launched a loyalty program this year. Meanwhile, 2% of specialty retail brands have shut down their programs. Brands seeking to increase loyalty investments are removing barriers to entry and revamping reward structures.
Removing barriers to entry, such as requiring a credit card for signup, is key to combating declining program engagement. Other brands have placed more emphasis on rewarding their most loyal customers in the hopes of further increasing their engagement levels. Macy's, which recently shifted to a multi-tender model as well, introduced a tiered loyalty program with differentiated rewards for members based on spend, rewarding the 10% of its customer base that accounts for half of its annual sales. The department store has seen 4.2% sales growth in Q1 2018 and attributed some of the momentum to the overhaul of its rewards program.

This post written by our online economics assignment help services' best writers will provide you what is nominal GDP and will also help you on how to count it. Check it out so that you can find it easier to complete your assignment in case you were assigned to get the nominal GDP.
Short History and Define Nominal GDP
What is Nominal GDP? Nominal GDP is a part of the formula in getting the GDP Deflator. It is the unadjusted GDP, which the market value of the final goods that are produced in an economy. It may cover a geographical region or a country. The said market value is based on the number of produced goods and services and their individual prices. So, if there is a change in the price from a particular period to the subsequent one; however, the actual output is unchanged, the nominal GDP will also change despite the consistency of the remained output.
General Information about the Term
This is different from the Real GDP. Real GDP is adjusted Nominal GDP for inflation. It focuses on the price changes as consequence of the inflation. But if there is no change in the inflation or deflation, the Nominal GDP and Real GDP will be the same.
Explanation and Nominal GDP Equation
The Nominal GDP is not an accurate way to know the economic strength of economy over time because of its unadjusted characteristic. The increase can be possible because of the inflated prices instead of the increased output. But for estimation purposes, Nominal GDP is used.
The Nominal GDP Equation needs the following:
- Price of the good or service in a particular period of time
- Quantity of the good or service in a particular period of time
The price of a good or service has to be multiplied by the quantity of each good or service. The product is the Nominal GDP of a single year. Hence, it will show the value of the goods or services in an economy. You will need then the list or data of the prices and quantities of a good or service. You will also need a calculator for easy solving of the problem.

Windows patches may become automaticBy Julio Franco 11 comments
In the aftermath of the MSBlast worm, Microsoft says it may be time to change the way Windows updates its security patches by making the process automatic by default.
A Microsoft representative said the company is "giving strong consideration to enabling Auto Update by default in future versions of Windows," though the company has not yet committed to a time frame. If Microsoft decides to go ahead with the change, it could be implemented in "Longhorn," the code name for the next version of Windows expected to come out in late 2004.

Just a quick update, got it fixed today at my local Volvo specialist, Sheffield Mxxxxith.
After getting several quotes from Volvo dealers nearby, I have a very slim chance of getting Volvo to pay out 100% of the cost for the repair, and most of them are suggesting 260 pouinds or more to do both doors, with Volvo contributing 50% of the cost or repair.
One of the Volvo dealers says it could be covered by the extended warranty, which was due to end next year, but since the warranty that came with my used car doesn't cover repair at the Volvo dealers I had to go to the Volvo specialist.
Booked it in for today and had a courtesy car which was also a V40 (but from 2000. a 1.8 petrol). Got it fixed in a day and they managed to get the parts ordered in the morning for fitting in the afternoon, and I got my car back in the evening.
It costs 285 just to fix one door, with labour being £120 - possibly due to the fact that the door cannot be opened to start with and they probably had to pry out some bits etc with extreme care, and the lock was around £118.
Fortunately the mechanics got onto the warranty people and told me that the warranty will reimburse me £200 for the repair, so I don't have to fork out as much.
I have every faith in my local volvo specialist since they are good and all the previous Volvo I had before were serviced there and no troubles ever since. They have also mentioned they have done this repair on a few cars before which was a bit of a relieve and worry.
It's interesting driving the V40 from 2000 and the current V40 as contrast is quite substantial between the two. The old banger I drove today had 154k on the clock with cambelt replaced recently. Despite being an old car, the seats were very comfy and the controls were quite nicely laid out with the steering feeling more like a ford focus, and as always, its built quality is pretty good with no rattles or strange noises.
The new one is certainly a delight to drive and own, but there are just some little bits which makes me appreciate the old V40, it's still a beautiful estate and It shows Volvo has progressed so much in just 10 years!!

I've got a 63 reg V40 D2 R-Design
My N/S rear door refused to unlock intermittently and the driver's door would sometimes not open from the inside until you pressed the Unlock button to unlock all doors.
Johnsons Volvo in Gloucester replaced both rear door locks and the driver's door lock and did a fantastic valeting job on the car - only took about 3 hours as they had pre-ordered the parts and all covered under the extended warranty.

Rear O/S door stuck and won't open- any advice?
I've just encountered the same problem on my 2014 V40 - just the one door. No response to anything. Handle pulls out but appears to have no mechanical feel behind it.
However, I have read that this has been a known problem since at least 2013 and Volvo in Sweden has extended the normal 3 year warrenty by an extra year to cover this and that Volvo UK has done the same.
Does anybody have any confirmation of this, please?
I'm due into my local Volvo garage Thursday for it to be repaired and I'd like to be armed!
It would appear that others have been told Volvo will only change both rear locks, not just one. Sounds like they know there is a problem and are attempting to avoid the next incident!!
Any help would be appreciated.

It is also worth pointing out that a door that cant be opened is an MOT failure.

Rear O/S door stuck and won't open- any advice?
Been in to have my lock sorted. Was initially told that my vehicle was not on the Volvo list for a contribution for the repair so it would cost me full whack, about £250 for one lock.
I had laboured the safety aspect of this, especially for children in the rear seats, and the MOT failure aspect. Also that it was obviously a well known problem for them.
They did offer to talk to Volvo and see if they were prepared to contibute but it was unlikely, and if anything, they doubted if would be more than 50%!
My spirits lifted when, on collecting the car they said there was no charge - Volvo would carry it!
Beginning to restore my faith in Volvo a bit but the whole question of these failures appears to be being handled deliberately to try and keep it low key and minimum cost to them. Unless the customer kicks, they will charge!
They also admitted that they had "about two a month" with these faults. If that is just one dealer then there are a lot of these faults across the country.

Gregory Noonan, Esq., a 53 year-old Norristown lawyer, was arrested yesterday on drug charges. Noonan allegedly sold 179 Oxycodone pills directly to an undercover Philadelphia police officer on November 23, and again yesterday allegedly sold 180 30-milligram pills to the officer for $3,250. Both sales were reportedly in his car outside of his office. Noonan was arraigned today on two counts of felony delivery of a controlled substance, two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia, and two counts of criminal use of a communications device. He was sent to Montgomery County prison in lieu of posting $250,000 bail, and his preliminary hearing will be January 3. Given the quantities alleged Mr. Noonan is likely facing the possibility of lengthy mandatory minimum state prison sentences.
This was not a good day for Montgomery County attorneys, as it has also been reported that all charges were held for further proceedings after the Preliminary Hearing for Bob Kerns, the former Montgomery County Republican Party Chairman charged with drugging and raping one of his employees after an office party at Radice in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania. Magisterial District Judge Sobeck recused himself from the proceedings which instead were held before a visiting Senior Judge.

Decius's response: The US IT industry cannot employ the people domestically that it has available to it today, and it has no plans to employ more people domestically in the future. That is the reason that it is beginning to fall under political pressure. Their response is to pretend that this problem does not exist by quoting statistics developed during the dotcom boom, and then, with a straight face, request assistance with moving money across international borders, assistance with R&D expenses, and the training of EVEN MORE engineers ("We can't use the resources we have, so please give us more resources.").
This country does not produce as many Engineers as China because Engineering bears a stigma in this country of being an undesirable profession. Numbers increased in recent years because that perception began to change, but its going right back down again. This is because the IT industry has failed to make a compelling case that people should WANT to be Engineers. If they wish to see the US produce more and better engineers, they need to sell teenagers on the idea that being an Engineer is worth all the work. They need to demonstrate to people that there are real opportunities.
How many of those 61,000 Engineering graduates from the class of 1999 do you know who have been underemployed or unemployed in the last 3 years? What kind of message is that sending to people who are considering following in their footsteps? If the IT industry really wanted more Engineers domestically they would be addressing that concern directly instead of getting up in front of Congress and asking for lower taxes. The fact that they chose the later option further contributes to the idea that this is all a big crock. It should surprise none of you that this is the same industry group that cuts deals with the RIAA to sell DRM into your house.
This sort of complete leadership vacuum does not bode well. Leadership vacuums get filled, inevitably. Sometimes by dangerous people.

There was only one way for Auburn's 30-24 loss to Tennessee to effectively end: with a sack. On a vital fourth-and-4 with six and a half minutes left in regulation, Deandre Johnson quickly took Jarrett Stidham down with a blitz up the middle.
The Vols recorded their first SEC win since 2016 and their first win over AU since 1999 by blowing up Auburn's offensive line, just as most opponents have this fall.
Auburn came into the game ranked a shocking 93rd in Off. S&P+. In terms of marginal efficiency, the Tigers were 100th rushing, 77th passing, 87th on standard downs, and 100th on passing downs.
In losses to LSU and MSU, Jarrett Stidham was 7-for-24 passing on passing downs, with two interceptions and two sacks. It felt like he was facing almost immediate pressure in those situations, which was particularly bad considering he was in those situations almost non-stop.
Against Tennessee, the Tigers did a solid job of avoiding passing downs (second-and-8 or more, third- or fourth-and-5 or more) for a while and took a 17-10 first-half lead as a result. And to his credit, Stidham was better on passing downs themselves, going 8-for-13 for 77 yards and no sacks.
The mistakes the Tigers did make, however, were catastrophic.
Stidham was sacked and stripped on a second-and-5 attempt late in the third quarter, and Tennessee recovered the fumble for a touchdown and a 27-17 lead. Then came the fourth-down sack.
How did we get here?
Auburn was a preseason top-10 team and began the season with a win over another top-10 team, Washington, in Atlanta.
But even in that game, Stidham was harassed pretty constantly. And it really hasn't stopped since.
When you return enough talent overall, we'll overlook some potential red flags.
In my 2018 Auburn season preview, I clearly noted what would become the Tigers' biggest weakness.
Kerryon Johnson and Kamryn Pettway are gone, as are those responsible for 50 of 70 starts up front.
When push came to shove, though, I still named them the sixth-best team in the country. I talked myself into players like Scott and Whitlow, and it appeared the line still had enough pieces to form something cohesive. It did not.
And over the last couple of weeks, a previously untouchable defense has begun to spring some leaks as well.
A week ago, a terribly one-dimensional Mississippi State offense, held to just 13 combined points by Kentucky and Florida, scored 23 points and rushed for more than 300 yards on the Tigers.
And on Saturday, Tennessee's Jarrett Guarantano, harried and rushed for most of his 1.5-year career, went 21-for-32 for 328 yards, two touchdowns, and a 172.4 passer rating. Auburn made 10 tackles for loss and sacked Guarantano three times, but the downfield glitches are starting to add up for a defense that had to be perfect to keep its team in position for wins.
Even with a top-10 projection, I figured the Tigers were till going to struggle to stay in the national title race because of their schedule. And sure enough, they've already played three S&P+ top-20 teams with three more on deck.
But now they're 4-3 and facing trips to mighty Georgia and Alabama.
They also have to host Texas A&M and play at an Ole Miss team that can't stop anybody but knows how to operate in a track meet.
They already had, per S&P+, a 23 percent chance of finishing 6-6 or worse before Saturday's loss. That number will rise considerably when the ratings are updated.
If there's positive spin here — and it's hard to find any — it's that Auburn's offense is almost entirely senior-free.
Malzahn is a successful enough recruiter that, even with iffy experience, you'd have figured the Tigers' offensive floor was a lot higher than it has turned out to be. But there are only three seniors on the two-deep: blocking back Chandler Cox, tight end Tucker Brown, and receiver Ryan Davis. Whitlow, Seth Williams, and Anthony Schwartz have been by far the Tigers' most exciting offensive players, and they're all freshmen.
This doesn't have to be seen as the beginning of the end for Malzahn, in other words.
But that is the smallest of consolations when you've gone from "Maybe we can contend for the SEC again" to "Maybe we can eke out a Birmingham Bowl bid" in under two months.

Sweat patches from hell
If I had a webcam I would post a photo of how screwed up my face is looking right now after finding this couch. My face is all distorted and my brow is all furrowed. I better be careful, or the wind might change. Either that, or I may have to get some botox tips from Nicole Kidman, and I don't think anyone wants to see another plastic face wandering around.
I'm wondering if this couch is actually wet, or whether those are sweat patches left after some serious couch potato action on the weekend. Or perhaps it's remnant skin cells from the person who got stuck to this couch after sitting on it on a summer's day. They're never getting that top layer of skin back. This couch may prove a useful skin donor site if the person who owns it ever gets burnt. Though, having said that, I guess there's a fair danger the friction generated from this man-made fabric monstrosity may be the cause of the burns, so it's kind of a self-defeating exercise.

Participatory Budgeting is a democratic process that allows citizens to deliberate and decide about how to spend part of the public budget. In other words, PB allows taxpayers to decide how to spend tax dollars.
A PB process typically has five characteristics.
Sintomer et al. (
) list six different types of participatory budgeting processes. These are:
Participatory budgeting emerged in Porto Alegre, Brazil in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The PB practiced in Porto Alegre is widely considered the "gold standard" for a full, inclusive, and effective participatory budgeting process. It is characterized by a year-long process that includes extensive deliberation by individual citizens over how to spend a fixed percentage of the municipal budget. The Porto Alegre model also includes elected citizen PB councils and close government and citizen cooperation. The PB process results in a prioritized list of citizen-proposed projects, most of which are capital investments. Although the government retains final decision-making authority as to which of those projects are implemented, in practice power is ceded to the citizenry because the government typically adopts the full list of projects without question. One other distinguishing feature of the Porto Alegre model is its focus on social justice. The government uses social, ecological, economic, and other criteria to weigh the merit of each of the citizen-proposed projects to ensure a just distribution of resources throughout the city. In areas where organized interests are strong, there may be significant pushback to this type of participatory process.
In this type of PB, only organized interests, such as companies, NGOs, workers unions, etc., may participate, not individual citizens. Unlike the Porto Alegre model, the organized interests model does not focus on capital investment projects, but instead on broad policy agendas, such as health, education, and urban development. The organized interests model is highly deliberative, though the conclusions of the deliberation are non-binding. This PB model is more common in areas where organized interests are already very strong.
In community participatory budgeting, both citizens and organized interests participate in a deliberative process to set spending priorities in the social, environmental and cultural sectors, typically to assist traditionally disadvantaged populations. However, unlike the Porto Alegre model, participants in this model do not deliberate over how to spend part of the municipal budget, but instead deliberate over how to utilize a dedicated community fund. This fund is mostly comprised of money from international organizations, NGOs, or the community itself. The rules of this PB process are decided entirely by participants and the private sector is excluded from participation. Further, participants themselves, not the local government, implement the projects themselves.
Multi-stakeholder participation is similar to community participatory budgeting in most ways except that the community fund includes funding from the private sector and the local government. As a result, the roles of both the private sector and the local government are stronger than that of the community participatory budgeting model. Because the fund is independent of the municipal budget, the influence of elected representatives is limited, but the influence of the private sector is often relative to the size of their contribution to the fund. While communities often implement projects themselves in the model, this need not be the case.
The proximity participation model includes citizen deliberation about general strategic goals of the municipality, but is purely consultative. Organized interests typically do not participate in the process. Citizens deliberate in organized assemblies and may speak directly to government officials. Governments may use the platform to seek advice on specific questions that require citizen input such as, "Which roads are in urgent need of improvement?" However, the outcomes of these deliberations are not binding. Governments adopt only when fits with their policy agendas and are not required to justify their decisions to the participating public. Although this may suggest that governments do not take this process seriously, there are several examples in which they do.
The consultation on public finance is similar to proximity participation in most ways except that the primary objective of consultation on public finance is to increase the transparency of the financial arm of the city. Instead of focusing on broad policy objectives, the process aims to disseminate information to the public. Meetings will typically include a government explanation of public revenues and spending with a citizen deliberation and response. This process may also be used to offset a budget deficit. Again, the citizens' ideas are non-binding.

It was published by St. Martin's Press in late 2014 although it failed to garner anything more than a handful of negative reviews until mid-2015 when the planned shipment of 100,000 copies of mass market paperback were cancelled due to the poor sales of its initial hardcover release. As per my contract I kept my measly advance and instead of readying for the book tour in the summer, I continued work on my sophomore effort – knowing it was my last chance (the publishing industry is much different than it used to be; decades ago publishers had their writer's backs and stayed with them, fought for them – they were a team) – to make an impression on the world. I'd been working on the second one since early 2011, while I was still looking for a publisher for my debut, and after overcoming a six-month bout of writer's block I figured it all out, dotted my i's and crossed my t's then shipped out to Sonny Meghan (my editor at St. Martin's).
The hot July sun shined bright, hot, and I decided to take a break from it all, stop worrying about the incoming criticism from Sonny and all the other bigwigs at the publisher and leave Manhattan for a few weeks, so I spent the weekend of the Fourth in Atlantic City staying in a free suite at Bailey's playing the poor man's Blackjack table drinking complimentary White Russians and basking on the beach wearing swim trunks from Banana Republic and a pair of knockoff Versace sunglasses I bought on the boardwalk trying to tan while reading the newest issue of GQ. During Happy Hour at the beachside bar I met a pretty little college thing who bought me two shots of Fireball liquor, and an hour later we were in my suite fucking in the bathroom hot tub while a housekeeper cleaned the bedroom of my previous night's debauchery.
The sex was good and I definitely needed it – for some reason I'd forgotten how important these mid-afternoon pleasures can be. Afterwards, I laid back on the freshly-made bed, the linen soft and welcoming, watching as what's-her-name scrambled about looking for her panties and once she found them and dressed, she held out her hand.
"What, you want a tip?" I said with a laugh and a smile before suggesting dinner and a T-Pain concert that night. Fortunately for me, I did OK downstairs and got some comps. I soon realized the joke was on me, though, when her pimp (a 6'foot'5 black man) showed up at the door. I still don't remember if she gave her name, if she had made any indication that she was, indeed, a whore, but at that point …
Sometimes, I wonder if I really even know my own.
I mean, who am I really?
Christian Kane, the once-hyped "new kid on the block" of the literary scene by The New York Times – as they so elegantly put it after reading an advanced copy of my underwhelming-selling-debut? (Yes, you read that right – even a positive review from The New York Times didn't help the book.) Or was I Christian Kane, son, who put his mother in a nursing home at the age of 50 and who lives some two-hundred miles away just to use it as an excuse not to visit. Or, better yet, Christian Kane, the "recovering addict" who put down the China-White just to pick up the "other" white – again?
Who the fuck am I? Who the fuck are any of us really? And, shit, does it make any difference anyway?
Not much longer my phone rang. It was the publisher, not Sonny – just a generic-sounding voice who in less than a minute told me about all the great work I'd been doing, that I was much appreciated but (there's always a fucking but) that St. Martin's was going in a different direction and I just didn't fit into their new corporate ideals. What the fuck? But it was what it was and what could I, Christian Kane, failed journalist and, now, unsuccessful novelist, do about it? The answer: not a damn thing.
I reached out to an old friend I'd made while working at Men's Health magazine. I had worked there since 2009, fresh out of college, up until the book was published. Since then I'd been living off a small inheritance from my grandfather and that "whopping advance" from Noro (my aforementioned little novel). He'd set me up with some freelance shit – nothing much, a few articles – which didn't stretch far enough because just six months later I got an eviction notice from my landlord.
But fuck it, what can you do?
Wallowing in self-pity, I found myself at the closest watering hole twenty minutes later drinking cheap scotch and pretending to watch a ball game playing in the background. There was something wrong with me, something eating at me that I just couldn't put my finger on. It was like the past six years or so had flown by overnight. Like I woke up one morning and finally figured out there was nothing worth getting out of bed for.
So I didn't – that is, until the Sheriff's Office came weeks later, eviction order in hand, and just five hours later I found myself walking around LaGuardia Airport in a drunken-stupor, waiting for my flight to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre International Airport.
New York, the Bright Lights, Big City, had beaten me; and it seemed there were no other options on the table.
It was time to go home.

Testing is the pursuit of relevant incongruityAfter hearing me out, one of the participants asked a strong, strong question: did I think my definition of testing could also define something else? I love this. It's a way to test the explanatory power of the proposal. On the day, I think I said that I thought it could also be a description of science.
Yesterday, I read a review of The Happy Brain by Dean Burnett in which Katy Guest said:
He rattles through studies, building a picture of what exactly tickles the human brain and why ... Laughter, it turns out, may originate among the temporal, occipital and parietal lobes, whose role is to "detect and resolve incongruity".Bzzzzzttttt!!!!! Arrooogggaaa!!!! Honk! Honk! And with a jolt of recognition, I realised only 18 months after the fact, that I would also say my definition could describe joking.
I get a rush from finding unexpected connections in unexpected places and this is a particularly intense high because at EuroSTAR 2015 I aligned testing with joking (and science) by appealing to the similarity of the aha! and haha! moments and an incongruity theory of humour.
But so what? Well, for me, this episode is a nice self-reminder that conclusions are relative. What you think you know is contingent on variables including you, the context, the data, and the time. Like me, on this occasion, you might not see even what's right under your nose until tomorrow, or perhaps never.

Know the Son, know the Father
Devo Know the Son know the Father
John 10:14-15 (NIV)
14 "I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.
My oldest son is a police officer. He was out on a case with a fellow officer when they saw a TV on with "YOU and Me" on the air. He told his fellow officer that I was his dad. He didn't believe him at first and thought we just had the same last name. I mean how could I be his dad if he was a police officer and I was a preacher? A few days later the man found out that I was indeed his father. My son shared with me that all his fellow officers are intrigued by it. I don't know why, I protect the sheep and so does he. I love the sheep and he does. I go out to fight for the sheep and he does. I bring back the lost and he does. To know the son is to know the father. He is called of God and I am. The apple don't fall too far from the tree. Know Jesus and know the Father. By the way my other son is a fireman and he likes getting people out of the fire, and so do I.

New Construction
Phase 3: The construction of the
remaining 11 residences.
Scheduled to begin in November with completion
expected by January 31.
Progress Report
Jun 13-19 , 2005 // CONSTRUCTION LOG #36

Pictures: 4 of unit 107.
Permit: SENTENA has asked for more information. We
are still trying to assess what it is they are
requesting but it seems to have to do with solid waste
management and rainwater management. They seem to
want a sworn statement that we will not commit 7
deadly sins against the environment -we just have to
figure out what the sins are that we are not going to
commit. The architect is working on it. We wait.
Roadways: curbs continued. We are about 65% done.
When completed, we will get quotes on three different
types of finishes -cement pavers, asphalt, and
patterned concrete. There are advantages and
disadvantages to each.
Unit 107: work continued. The installation of
roofing tiles has commenced, interior boarding and
taping are substantially finished. Windows should be
ordered this next week and the exterior started on
it's finish stucco coating. All the finishing
decisions have been made and many of the materials
secured or ordered.
The trip back was long -three connections- but
uneventful. We arrive to a floating boat with lights
on and once we found things we had left to pick up on
our return, we were fine.
It took a day to work out snags -the phone connection
had corroded badly so that had to be repaired; the
car battery was dead, license plate expired, insurance
expired, emissions test required, etc. Fortunately,
a friend lent me his car to get started.
It is certainly nice reconnecting with friends -marina friends and others-. They know about our
lives through my logs although they have not lived
our lives so only a cognitive knowledge, no
experiential basis to relate -hopefully, that will
come in the future. One of our friends just ran his
new boat onto a reef -10' off course in Georgian Bay
did it -boat and granite don't mix-granite wins every
time; his pride and his wallet are hurting but he and
the others are in great spirits.
ACTS OF KINDNESS: I have to comment on three
incidents I found wonderful and different: In
Cleveland, on two occasions my wife (blind) had to use
the washrooms -in each case, I was directing her as
best I could from the entrance when each of two women
offered to help guide her. Wow!!! was I impressed,
relieved, and thankful. Twice this happened. Thanks
to those women; thanks to Cleveland... The third
incident happened to 4 friends who lost their boat in
the middle of Georgian Bay -once on dry land, were
offered the keys to an SUV from someone they did not
know. This allowed them to return from nowhereville to
Toronto. How wonderful in each of the three cases.
Such things re-energize my faith.
The heat wave which enveloped Toronto before we
arrived has dissipated. We've needed a heater several
nights and sweatshirts during the day -the Canadian
It's good to eat some Canadian steak and some other
favorites but none entice us to return. Even though
there are often line ups here for services, the
country is more efficient than CR. Efficiency,
however, comes with a high price tag. It's certainly
more expensive here ($7 for 35 min. of parking). I've
spent a substantial portion of my time researching /
renewing insurance policies -$3,000 for home
insurance- (not a big issue in CR), car license
renewal and pollution emissions test (same as in CR),
doctors and medication (so far, efficient and
accessible but the process isn't over yet) same as in
CR; disability insurance claim -one company claims not
to have a document ) reminds me of CR -so we play the
game. My internet connection system here is archaic
(slow dial up and unreliable connectivity but I'm at a
marina) -I love the high speed wireless system in CR.
Construction is rampant, detours and rough
streets -reminds me of CR.
Lita saw her son and grand daughter. That will happen
a few more times but it isn't enough to entice her;
she misses her parrot, the dog, the cat, her physical
fitness regime, yelling at the gardener that his
coffee is ready, her girlfriends in CR, etc. She
purchased a replacement karaoke machine and is
swearing at it now as she learns how to use it...
We'll be making plans this next week for our return.
We still have a list of things to attend to including
dealing with a big tax ticket -I expect it to be my
last big one in this country -out of control taxes
and costs have driven me to CR and the weather and
lifestyle there have pulled me at the same time.
Brian, Lita, lonely Hugo and irreverent Vicka, the pigeon toed parrot.

Our regional tech community was honored to recently have internet blogger and technology futurist Robert Scoble come to town. While here he gave a "Beyond Mobile" technology talk for the Roanoke Blacksburg Technology Council and toured several of our region's many technology success stories – or success stories in the making.
First up in our technology tour was Aeroprobe, the well established aeronautical instrumentation and materials research lab located in the Falling Branch Corporate Park in Christiansburg. The company CEO Nanci Hardwick was our host and showed us the two hot areas of technical innovation that her company invented:
- Unique air flow measurement instrumentation for aerospace, automotive, and other airflow test industries
- 3D deposition metal printing (using Additive Friction Stir Deposition technology)
Aeroprobe is already well known in the industry for their cutting edge aerospace and innovative air speed and turbulence detection probes, however their new innovative 3D additive metal printing technology yields almost all the advantages of caste and milled metal parts without all the time and expense of tooling parts out of block stock materials. Additionally, their technology can now also print very large custom parts that previously would have been unfeasible or impossible. These advantages not only bring together a huge savings in time, costs and a new level of custom parts flexibility, but also introduces new areas of mixed metals research that could not even be explored until now.

City-EDC partnership producing successful Lake Wales economic development
Economic development is a highly rewarding endeavor with a high return on investment, made all the more enjoyable by the quality partnerships that make it all possible. Had it not been for those partnerships, we at the Lake Wales Area Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development Council might not be celebrating — still! — the recent recruitment to the city of a key unit of Merlin Entertainments, the parent company of the Legoland Florida Resort.
Several organizations and government agencies had key roles in the effort to bring Merlin Magic Making to Longleaf Business Park — a project that justifiably grabbed a lot of media headlines but by no means is the only successful economic development story we've had to tell in Lake Wales this past year. One of those highly involved organizations and agencies was the Lake Wales EDC's closest partner — and closest partner by design — the city of Lake Wales.
For the past two years, the Lake Wales EDC has been under contract, at a rate of $125,000 per year, to serve as the city of Lake Wales' primary economic development agency. At one time, economic development and business recruitment were tasks that occupied one or more city departments and/or officials, but the majority opinion today — based on experience and results— is that economic development is best done by independent agencies that work for and in tandem with government.
There are so many moving parts to city government and daily challenges to meet, economic development as a role of government usually doesn't get the kind of focus it can get from a dedicated agency, like an EDC. In addition, government in Florida is subject to the state's open-records law — the Sunshine Law. This makes it difficult for government officials to provide prospective new businesses the cloak of confidentiality their owners want and expect when negotiations are under way for site selection, services, tax and financial incentives, and other business-recruitment matters. A private and autonomous agency, like the Lake Wales EDC, can operate at arm's length from government — but on behalf of government — and provide business owners a higher level of comfort and confidentiality as they shop for a new or additional operational site.
We at the EDC want to deliver a service that doesn't burden or cause a perceived risk for a prospective new or existing company. We want to streamline the process in matters related to site selection and development, zoning, planning, utilities, inspections, and incentives; and, when appropriate, we want to share potentially useful business relationships that we've already made. Enterprise Florida (the state's economic development arm), the Polk County government, the Central Florida Development Council, and, particularly in our case, the Lake Wales city government, all help during that process — providing research, information, resources, technical assistance, and feedback — to make it as easy as possible.
It's a real pleasure to work with the leaders, managers and staffers at Lake Wales City Hall. For the Lake Wales EDC to be effective and successful in business recruitment, it's of upmost importance that highly competent, skilled, and dedicated people be placed in the key positions in city government. That's exactly what we have in City Manager Kenneth Fields, Mayor Eugene Fultz, and the entire team they have assembled for our City. They all make the job we're expected to do here at the Lake Wales EDC an easier and efficient process, and the business community is grateful for that.

Anatomically your groin is the area where your upper thigh meets your pelvis (lower abdomen), essentially the crease or fold between these two areas. In reality, groin injuries involve a much larger area than just this. A groin injury can encompass an area that extends from your lower abdomen, to your pelvis, to your hip and inner thigh, and right down to your knee.
Since a groin injury can cover such a large anatomical region it can involve muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, connective tissue (fascia), neurological, circulatory structures and even internal organs in the lower abdomen. In this blog we will limit our focus to musculoskeletal causes, except for a quick review on some conditions that must be ruled out (See differential diagnosis).
Differential Diagnosis
A differential diagnosis refers to the process of determining the probability of one condition over another. It is the process of making sure we are actually dealing with a musculoskeletal condition and not something more serious (pathological).
Fortunately most groin injuries are musculoskeletal injuries (mechanical problems) that will respond well to manual therapy and exercise. However, it is still important to evaluate other causes of groin pain (pathological causes) rather than assuming the problem is just a simple muscle strain. Some of the other problems that must be considered are:
· A hernia is a condition that must be ruled out whenever a groin injury presents itself. Minor hernias do respond to rest, ice, and range of motion exercises. More severe hernias require surgery (mesh reinforcement).
· The hip contains approximately eighteen superficial and deep bursae. Bursae are small pouches with slippery surfaces that reduce friction between two moving surfaces (increase gliding). The bursae are usually located in areas where muscles and tendons glide over bones. When the bursa becomes inflamed it loses the ability to decrease the friction between the moving surfaces. As inflammation increases, instead of providing ease of movement, they become a source of friction and pain. Chronic bursitis can be due to an underlying inflammatory condition. Examples of common sites of hip pain due to a bursa are the:
· Directly over the greater trochanter
§ Between gluteus maximus tendon and the greater trochanter (posterolateral prominence).
Fractures (Frank or Stress fractures)
· If the initial groin injury has been caused by trauma (in a contact sport) then possible fractures must be considered. The two most common sites for stress fractures are in the upper leg (femoral neck) and in the pelvis (pubic ramis). A simple X-ray is often all that is needed.
· An avulsion often refers to a bone injury where the tendon (which attaches muscle to bone) is torn away from its insertion point. Some of the possible sites of avulsions in a groin injury are:
§ ASIS (anterior superior iliac spine) – The site of the sartorius muscle attachment.
§ AIIS (anterior inferior iliac spine) – This is the site where the middle quadriceps (rectus femoris) attaches.
§ Ischial tuberosity – This is the site of attachment for your hamstrings.
· This condition is also known as gracilis syndrome. It is a repetitive stress injury that affects the pubic symphysis. This is an injury that can occur in runners, or sports that involve jumping or kicking. Osteitis Pubis can be increased after childbirth due to ligamentous laxity.
Nerve Compression
· Nerve compression can be a common problem associated with a groin injury. An example would be compression of a nerve called the femoral cutaneous nerve. When this nerve is compressed it creates a condition called Meralgia Paresthetica. This condition creates alter sensations on the outside of the hip.
In part two of Resolving Groin Injuries we will cover diagnosing a musculoskeletal groin Injury, including specific structures involved.
