House and surroundings
The large reservoir of Caniçada (almost 700 hectares) is at the border of the Serra da Cabreira and the Serra do Gerês on the North side. For those who seek recreation by or on the water, alternating with visits to the Portuguese national park Peneda-Gerês, this is an ideal place. The last week of July and the first two of August it can be busy on and around the lake.
By the edge of the lake, just outside the village of Vilar da Veiga, stands Casa Barbara. It is the last of a small group of houses reached by a shared pathway (± 50 mts.). The house is not big, but it offers a pleasant stay for 3 adults or a family with 2 children.
In front is a well-tended garden with direct access to the lake. The terrace, is without doubt a beautiful spot, offering lovely views over the water to the mountains opposite. At the side of the house is a small patio with a barbecue.
The water quality of the lake is frequently monitored by the authorities, and classified as good for swimming (

Past Vilar da Veiga it is only a few kilometers to the spa of Caldas do Gerês, where you find an information centre of the national park. They provide information on flora and fauna of the park, archeological finds (among which the Roman road that once lead from the city of Braga to Rome), walking routes, etc.
The owner of Casa Barbara lets out canoes, pedaloes, and motor boats. He can also help out if you want to (learn to) waterski or make a guided tour with a Landrover through the park.
There are several restaurants and cafés within 5 minutes walk. Shops you can find in Rio Caldo (3 km) and Vieira do Minho (15 km). In Vieira the weekly market is on Monday. The distance to Braga is about 40 km.

Solar Power Plant in Abakan, Russian Federation
Russia is not exactly a front runner in renewable energy, which is not surprising, given Russia's vast fossil fuel reserves. If local initiatives do occur it is almost always without federal subsidies. On December 15, 2015, the Abakan solar power plant of 5.2 MW was commissioned.
Local Shaman appears to give his blessing to the new solar power plant. Now the waiting can begin for the first sun rays to arrive. Abakan has 310 sunny days per year.

Sony has officially introduced a new X series lineup, with three new smartphones to start with- the Xperia X, the Xperia XA, and the Xperia X Performance. These new devices are targeted towards those who prefer performance, or budget -minded people.
Design wise, the new smartphones now possess a metal finish back with "tone-to-tone" painting. That means the finish is seamless for both front and back. The Xperia X seems to be focused towards the youth. The device holds a 5-inch screen. The processor included is the Snapdragon 650 processor, along with 3GB RAM to run Android Marshmallow. The 23MP camera features a predictive hybrid autofocus that allows users to select a target and track the subject continuously. The front camera sensor is 13 megapixels. Sony has included the Xperia X with a 2620 mAh battery.
The Sony Xperia X Performance actually holds a faster Snapdragon 820 processor, along with 3GB RAM. The rest of the specification is the same as the Xperia X, except that the Xperia X Performance is waterproof. Both the smartphones sport the same kind of side-mounted fingerprint scanner as the Xperia Z5 series.
However, the Xperia XA is aimed towards the budget oriented crowd. The device has a 5-inch 720p screen, The processor is a Mediatek branded MT6755 processor, with 2GB RAM. The camera is 13MP on the rear side, and the selfie camera is 8 megapixels. This variant doesn't sport a fingerprint scanner, not waterproof, and has a lower 2300 mAh battery.
The Sony Xperia X series local pricing and availability is yet to be known.

Waylayers create music that has been described as 'atmospheric pop'. The East London trio released their debut EP Fault Lines to critical acclaim in the summer of 2013 and followed it up with iTunes Electronic Chart #1 – Medicine.
Fault Lines went into the US Billboard Top 100 and the iTunes Alt Top 50 and featured on the iTunes US homepage for several weeks. The first track S.O.S has been described as 'a futuristic pop triumph' whilst Magnets was bathed in a fresh pop sensibility, packed full of synths and hooks. The videos for both tracks were directed by Alex Brown, (The Maccabees, Klaxons, La Roux, James Blake). Medicine received rave reviews from Nylon, The Independent, Artrocker, The 405, i:D Magazine and more with The Fly Magazine making it their 'Track of The Week' describing it as having '…a super-sized synth-pop chorus that'd have M83 scurrying back to the drawing board.' The band went on to headline The Fly Awards show in 2014.
Following the most extensive major festival circuit of any band in the UK during 2013, Waylayers headed to SXSW in 2014, where their 'incendiary performances dominated the festival' (Fuse TV March 2014) and led to Fuse choosing the band as one of their top 5 moments, alongside Lady Gaga and The 1975.
Waylayers are Harry Lee (vocals, synths), Dave Norman (bass) and Joe Andrew (guitar).
The band will be supported by special guests Ophelia, Fran Lobo and Billy Clark.

As a chiropractor, one of the most common concerns for new patients is the need for x-rays prior to treatment. It's not uncommon for people to call and shop around for a chiropractor who will comply with their demands. Don't misunderstand me. I think it's VERY important to find a chiropractor, medical doctor or physical therapist that will work with a patient's wants. HOWEVER, make sure that your concerns are based on science and sound information and not merely personal preference. There is a certain amount of trust that you will need to place in your chiropractor to get you well and you don't want to tie his/her hands. Most importantly, ask why. If you are hesitant as to the need for any test, talk to your chiropractor about it.
In the end, if you value your health, you want to find a chiropractor that is not only willing but capable of making structural changes to your spine. The vast majority of our patients come to Corrective Chiropractic after physical therapy, medicine, or traditional chiropractic failed them. The reason they are often unable to improve the patient's symptoms and health is because none of these healthcare providers are capable of both identifying and correcting the cause of musculoskeletal conditions and symptoms like headaches, neck pain, mid back pain, low back pain, sciatica, disc herniation, disc bulge, etc.
Here's why. Not all of them do proper diagnostic testing and none of them treat based on the spines ideal structure. The gold standard for identifying the cause of these types of problems is weight bearing full spine x-rays. It's not uncommon for your medical doctor or traditional chiropractor to take x-rays of only the area of complaint. For example, they only take neck x-rays for neck pain or low back x-rays for low back pain or sciatica. This is a BIG mistake. Your spine should be analyzed as one whole organ. This is very common due to insurance standards.
Health insurance often dictates the type of care a patient will receive and it is not uncommon for health insurance to do so based on erroneous or misleading information. Do you want a high school graduate whose first job is as an insurance adjuster to be the one deciding how much chiropractic care you need? Or do you want the doctor of chiropractic that you are trusting with your health to make that decision? If you want cheap care then, by all means, get only the chiropractic care and testing done that your insurance company thinks is necessary. I assure you it will be less than the bare minimum necessary. At best you may have some reduction in pain. More likely is that no matter what you will be left with your spine uncorrected.
If your house has cracked walls, squeaky windows, and creaking floorboards you won't investigate only one section of the foundation of your house. You check the whole thing. Your spine is the same. It is the foundation on which all your muscles and organs attach. In order for your chiropractor to properly investigate the cause of your disc herniation, headaches, low back pain, etc., x-rays of the entire spine are essential.
True, it's more common to have a medical doctor or traditional chiropractor treat only the symptoms but still leave the cause of the symptoms (abnormal spinal shape) in place. This, of course, is likely to cause the symptoms to return and puts the patient at risk for the problem to get much worse the next time around. Looking at the house foundation example again, if you have someone come in and patch your walls, put grease or oil on the window jambs and nail down those squeaky floor boards, the symptoms will have been improved but the cause (the crooked foundation) remains unfixed. If the homeowner remains unaware of the damaged foundation, the symptoms will likely reappear or worse. It is even possible that unrepairable problems are caused leaving the house condemned and unlivable.
This is the exact same situation I see patients either put themselves in or are put in as a result of their medical doctor, physical therapist (who can't take x-rays), or traditional chiropractor. All of these healthcare professionals are often very good at helping your symptoms. However, if you want to actually fix the foundation of your body you need a structurally focused corrective chiropractor to first examine your foundation via full spine x-rays.
Corrective Chiropractic will do it's best to meet all patients where they are. Your chiropractor will not sacrifice a high standard of the investigative and exam process. No guessing or "pop and pray" as they say with our patients. However, after being explained all of the risks and benefits of treatment, Corrective Chiropractic will offer acute pain care treatment if requested BUT only after a proper exam and x-rays are performed to be able to accurately determine the cause of the problem and the best course of treatment.
The alignment of your spine is not a hard and fixed shape. Your spine is influenced daily by numerous forces. We have all seen numerous examples of people who have neglected their spine. Whether it be the hardcore computer programmer with a "goose neck" posture with his head projecting way out in front of his body or the elderly woman with the no so flattering "hunchback". These postures are pathological and can result in neck pain, mid back pain, low back pain, headaches, migraines, carpal tunnel like symptoms, numbness or tingling in the extremities, etc.
This happens because your spine is a highly movable structure made up of numerous joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons. There is a very specific ideal position that allows your body to perform optimally. However, that normal model, straight from the front and three curves looking from the side, can be altered in various ways.
I know numerous structurally focused chiropractic colleagues who take full spine x-rays of patients. We are a less common breed of chiropractor than the more common traditional, pain-based chiropractor. Those of us who do take full spine x-rays on all patients often see horribly degenerated, broken spines or spines with congenital defects that should never be adjusted without first having seen them on x-ray. As a result, it is VERY common for us to see patients that have come from traditional chiropractic offices with no relief. But when we take full spine x-rays the problem is all too often, quite obvious.
The risk of full spine x-rays is practically inconsequential when compared to the risk of not having them. You're literally treating based almost entirely on feeling instead of visually objective evidence as with full spine x-rays. Without that evidence, you are left with only being able to adjust one or two segments at once. This is typically where you hear the infamous popping sound. The problem is those types of adjustments are only going to mobilize joints. It is essential for patients with abnormal spinal shapes to receive mirror-image adjustment where to adjust the entire neck or low back or even whole spine at once to retrain the body back towards an ideal spinal shape. This, of course, requires more than just regional, not segmental chiropractic adjustments. Chiropractic structural correction requires spinal remodeling and mirror-image spinal exercises and stabilization.
Full-spine x-rays are extremely safe and provide a very minimal amount of radiation. For more detail on the X-Ray Protocols and Exposure followed by Corrective Chiropractic CLICK HERE.
To have our chiropractor take a look at your x-rays, contact Corrective Chiropractic in Greenville, NC by calling 252-758-7583 or fill out our contact form for an appointment today.
[…] Beginning X-rays and follow up x-rays should be a part of the care provided from a traditional or corrective chiropractor. They should also be of the full spine not just the area of concern. The spine is one contiguous structure. Don't assume that your neck and low back are completely isolated from each other. They affect one another and must be evaluated as a whole for proper structural care. Think of the spine as one organ. Just because it feels like it hurts on the left side of your body you could be shifted or rotated to the right side putting pressure on the left. There is no way to know what is going on with your spine without x-rays. For more about this CLICK HERE. […]

Winter again!!
Well there was I looking forward to this Easter weekend for a nice run possibly to Applecross and camping in temperatures of a positive persuation. How wrong can I be, this has turned into the week from hell, just when we thought Spring had arrived Tuesday night brought snow again, not just a covering but proper snow, chaos on all the Scottish roads again, cars abandoned, trucks stuck and snow gates shut on almost all routes North out of Perth. Yesterday the sun appeared again but there's still a bite in the wind. Last night I went down to the Lothians Classic club meeting at the newly rebuilt Leadburn Inn just south of Edinburgh, the snow is at least two feet deep at the side of the road, it does look like the depths of winter again, quite depressing after such a long period of cold. Of course the other problem is that the gritters have been out again spraying the roads with salt and whatever else makes the spray from the road highly corrosive. I must look into the practicalities of moving somewhere warmer, we are lucky in Scotland to live in a country with spectacular scenery, wildlife and an amazing history but................ why does it have to have spectaculary shit weather ? Answers on a postcard please

The Arts Alliance of Greater Bloomington is a member-driven organization that promotes the sustainability of the creative arts community by catalyzing communication, and collective action. The Alliance seeks to connect all art genres, arts organizations, and art advocates with each other, and with local businesses, tourism, and arts marketing initiatives. By facilitating education and collaboration, the Alliance empowers the individual artist, and enriches the community's vibrant arts network.
The Arts Alliance of Greater Bloomington identifies five distinct arts genre groups, and two main arts stakeholder groups within in the arts community. Up to two designated representatives for each group communicate their genre's unique perspectives and concerns as members of the Board of Directors, which then set the Arts Alliance agenda. This direct representational structure is unique among arts service organizations, and insures that the interests of all arts genres are all represented equally. The Alliance strives to be inclusive, and additional At-Large seats provide representation for artists and arts stakeholders who, for whatever reason, do not readily identify within one particular genre or stakeholder group. Full Bylaws here.
The Arts Alliance Greater Bloomington was formed in August 2010 by a large group of practicing artists and arts advocates. The Alliance was incorporated on October 11, 2011 as a not-for-profit entity. In January 2012, the membership elected its first official Steering Committee, representing all arts genres. IRS 501 (c) (3) status was conferred in August, 2014. The term "Board of Directors" was voted to replace the term "Steering Committee" in 2016.

Pazhman Ghaznawi:
Afghanistan Pakistan sign strategically agreement
It is not important which kind of agreements both Gov sign security or economic' what is important is advantage of my country.
What is the advantage of my country in this agreement which is signed between Pakistan and Afghanistan?
As usual most of Afghanistan people disagree with this agreement' but Afghanistan Gov must clarify this for people and must share some I to with people.
Keeping people as blind will create more obstacles along the way of this agreement.
We have to bee aware of north, east and west neighbor countries reactions too.
I am sure this agreement is made after a long discussion and both party shared their demands and expectations.
Who was assigned from Afghanistan side and how experienced he,she /they was/were.
It is also known that Pakistan never do anything for Afghanistan, but if there is a plane made by them to implement it on our country so what will be the reaction of Afghanistan Gov in that case?
It is good to have strategical agreements with neighbourhood countries, but this questionable, that how honest they are in this agreements? What advantage they give to our country and people it is true that we need their support in some points but we must know, that they are suffering also from lack of this agreement even more than us.
That is why I think we have to go farther and ask Pakistan Gov for some advantage in order to sign this agreement I hope our side already would asked them.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Target Corp.'s fiscal first-quarter earnings will meet or exceed Wall Street expectations, as March same-store sales came in slightly ahead of its estimates, the nation's second-largest discount retailer said Thursday.
In February, Minneapolis-based Target TGT, +0.91% said earnings for the current quarter ending in April should come in at 52 cents a share. Analysts' average estimate is for a profit of 53 cents a share, according to Thomson First Call.
For the five-week period that ended April 2, the retailer said same-store sales from continuing operations rose 8.2%. That was ahead of the prior-year period's 7.8% increase, and slightly exceeded the company's expectation for a 6% to 8% gain.
"While we believe these results should be considered in the context of this year's earlier Easter holiday, our better-than-expected sales performance in February and March gives us confidence that we will meet or exceed our first quarter profit plan," said Chief Executive Bob Ulrich in a written statement.
Total sales from continuing operations for the March period increased 14% to $4.41 billion from $3.86 billion a year earlier, Target said.
"If weather trends improve in April to spur higher-margin apparel sales, we think there is possible further upside to first quarter results," said UBS analyst Gary Balter in a note to clients.
Shares in Target added 77 cents to finish at $50.74 Thursday.

I have been involved with affiliate marketing for the past 9 years now and I have learnt a lot. Affiliate marketers get a commission for selling other peoples products.
Affiliate marketers are the most resourceful, adventurous, enterprising, and talented group I have ever met on the internet, I have met some great people and some scallywags but generally very hard working and have to just think their way to success.
So I worked out that even though I hated social media with a passion, other people did not. Social media will evolve and change but as long as the internet is around there will be one social medium, that is the fashionable one of the day around us. At the moment it's facebook but there are already indications that the under 20′s now are not interested in facebook and are using Google+ more and others.
So one of the most important ways to start targeting your customers is through social media.
When you get a WordPress blog placed on your website you do two things, you start keeping Mr Google happy and you rise in the rankings and it enables you to tell your customers and there friends and any other people that can be targeted through advertisements, Facebook is excellent for this and cheap as chips and your potential customers can run into the millions through targeted advertising.
Every time you write a blog about this "fantastic widget you have just imported" for your customers, you can post that exact same message to social media to millions of people at very reasonable rates. So the information teaser if you like, flow goes from the blog to prospective buyers through social media to prospective buyers creating a sales funnel back to your website.
So give serious thought to installing a blog on your site as it is not an expensive exercise and linking it to your various social media sites. I have really only been talking about Facebook but the list is tremendous, even Youtube is now considered to be a fountain of wealth to the serious marketers.
For any advice or help please give us a call here and I'm sure we can help you join hundreds already enjoying our efforts.

Everybody should play and have a 'UKE'. — George Harrison
|Lufthansa (2014)

The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times front the forced expulsion of Cuban diplomat Jose Imperatori, who was accused of spying for Havana. FBI agents took him into custody after he refused an order to depart the U.S. The New York Times leads with China's adoption of a more aggressive stance toward Taiwan. China announced in a policy paper that it considers Taiwan to be a renegade province and that it would consider military action if Taiwan delays its return to the mainland.
According to the WP and the LAT, Imperatori has been accused of being the Cuban government's liaison with Mariano Faget, the U.S. immigration official charged with delivering information to Havana about applications Cubans have made for political asylum. FBI agents removed Imperatori from his apartment and flew him to Montreal, where he is to board a plane for Cuba. The Cuban government, however, has refused to recall the diplomat, challenging the U.S. to prove its accusations in court. Cuba has asserted that the U.S. concocted the charges against Imperatori as part of a plot to prevent the return of Elián González to his native country. The U.S. denies the charge. No clear connection between the two situations has been established, but theories are sure to be born.
The NYT lead focuses on how China's more aggressive stance toward Taiwan will affect U.S. foreign policy. The primary issues are the possible use of force in the Taiwan Strait to counter Chinese aggression that might occur there and the increasingly difficult task of trying to bring China into the World Trade Organization.
The NYT off-leads the aftermath of the Amadou Diallo verdict, reporting that, despite 30 arrests, protests and demonstrations in New York were emotional but for the most part subdued. The Rev. Al Sharpton, accompanied by Diallo's mother at a gathering of 300 people, called for a federal investigation into the case and for a fight against police brutality; but he also urged the community to remain peaceful. At a press conference, Giuliani commended New Yorkers for their level-headedness in the wake of the verdict. He also stated his belief that the trial had been conducted fairly and that the officers should not have to stand trial again on charges of civil rights violations.
Revisiting the Alaska Airlines crash, the LAT fronts a story that raises questions about Federal Aviation Administration safety procedures. Critics contend that the FAA is negligent in its duties of overseeing the airline industry and that it allows financial and operational pressures to outweigh safety considerations.
McCain's recent triumphs have kept him on the front page. The WP attempts to profile the "McCainiacs" who have elevated their candidate above Bush, the former shoo-in. Are McCain supporters reacting against the character scandals that tarnished Clinton's presidency? Are they Ross Perot supporters coming out of hibernation? Are they common folk rejecting Bush's elitism? Or do they just yearn for a war hero to assume leadership of the country? Neither pollsters nor the WP can explain it. One politico was even reduced to hypothesizing obtusely that "Whatever the [McCain] phenomenon is, it's not one thing." The NYT fronts a hard-hitting but fair biographical piece on the Arizona senator. The detailed portrait explores McCain's wartime imprisonment, his marital crises, and his decision to enter politics.
On the front, below the fold, the WP suggests that the outcome of the GOP primary in Virginia will be determined by conservative Republicans. McCain, confident of the support of "maverick Republicans" and crossover Democrats, has made a strong play for the conservative vote, referring to himself as a "proud Reagan Republican" in a recent TV commercial.
The LAT fronts Bill Bradley's failing attempts to stir up enthusiasm among Washington voters before next Tuesday's primary. Perhaps most distressing has been the scarcity of national reporters at Bradley's campaign stops. Gore, however, continues to surge on the West Coast. One poll put him at 56 percent to Bradley's 11 percent in California. The LAT also cites some Democrats who have called for Bradley to withdraw altogether and lend his support to Gore.
The WP fronts a piece on the shifting financial dynamics among married couples. According to one source, more than one in three working wives now earns more money than her husband. In 1980, that number was fewer than one in five. Several factors are cited: Colleges are now graduating more women than men; more women are working full-time; and women have entered careers traditionally dominated by men.
The LAT fronts Malaysia's angry response to the State Department's criticism of that country's human rights record and its treatment of political prisoners. One Malaysian official responded that the U.S. should look into "the rampant human rights violations in the Bronx area … before meddling in other people's affairs."

Top 10 Instagrams of 2013: #1 Went To The Beach
By Rowena Mynott
As 2013 starts to wind down its a good time to reflect on the year that has just passed and the year that is to come. I have obviously been in a reflective mood recently as last month I decided to start a monthly 'Taking Stock' routine: pausing life for a few moments to realise what you are happy and thankful for right in that very moment. Right now as I sit here and look through my images from 2013, I embrace the good and the sad, the ups and the downs and the growth that has taken place. This year has focused on family: Visits and holidays with family from overseas early in the year, my grans passing mid year and these days realising my son is no longer a toddler but is growing into the most incredible child I could ask for.
72&Rising is also growing and developing. I left the magazine format behind and embraced the world of blogging. Thank you to all those that embraced that change with me. It was a difficult decision to make as I loved the old product, but for me right now this is where we need to be. Who knows what the future holds but in 2014 you can certainly expect some exciting things happening here as this process of writing, taking pictures and posting on a regular basis becomes more fluid. I'm re-defining 72 and I look forward to hearing from you about what you would like me to focus on a little more. There will be plenty of the old: travel and photography but also some new … Let me know.
So as a way to reflect on 2013 I decided to give you a little glimpse into my life and share some of our Top 10 family highlights as seen from my Instagram. If you would like to follow along, I will be posting one each morning for the next 10 days. Today is Went To The Beach.
Went to the Beach
You cannot go wrong with a trip to the beach. It's impossible. No matter what the weather: sunshine or rain it's a wonderful connecting experience. We go to the beach if we are having one of 'those' days, the wide open spaces, the soft sand between our toes, the crashing of the waves all bring us back to the now, the important and allow us to share a fun moment together. The beach is also a great place to investigate. To investigate nature: shells, passing wildlife such as whales and eagles, things washed up on beach be it exhausted shearwaters, bluebottles or ocean eroded wood and we investigate rock pools . We go to create. Create with bits of nature that we find along the beach, we build sandcastles, we draw in the sand. We exercise: running around, playing with a ball or walking the dog. We learn, not just about everything we are seeing but new skills such as how to rock skip and soon – how to surf! Most importantly we spend time together, free from emails, phones and computers, just alone in nature.

So I found myself in Porto, Portugal for the 4th occasion in a space of a year, this time with Rogue and Roman Visuals on the way to Galicia for the holidays but first a quick pit stop to fetch our visas for Thailand.
Lucky enough there is a consulate on the outskirts of the city in some random office park with no signage or indication of a governmental building. We took advantage of complimentary cycles from the hotel as an active alternative means of transport to the local metro and ended up covering over 20km in total. From the centre all way the to Matosinhos. Needless to say our bodies paid the price the next day!
On arrival at the consulate, the staff (made up of 2 people and a normally grumpy mutt but not with Miriam the animal whisperer around) were so helpful and pleasant that we left there super happy and feeling like mission accomplished. We celebrated over a cup of coffee which is a religious custom in Portugal, took the scenic route back via the seaside and came across the most charming parts of Porto (Santa Monica-esque) that neither of us have ever discovered.
One of the nicest things about visiting a familiar place is seeing it from a fresh perspective and sharing the moment with that someone special. Here's to the 5th episode which according to the recent pattern should be anytime soon, as it seems all roads lead to Porto.

As the Coca Cola advert has reliably informed us, holidays are coming! And while we're all enjoying the very best the season has to offer – Christmas jumpers, gingerbread lattes and consuming our own body weight in Quality Street – not everyone is in the position to go all-out and enjoy the festivities.
So it makes sense at this time of year, the season of giving, to take a moment to think of those less fortune and do our bit to give back and support those in need.
If you're keen to do your bit for charity, here are five quick and easy ways to get involved.
1. Buy Christmas dinner for a homeless person
In Scotland, almost 35,000 homeless applications were made in 2015-2016. That's a pretty scary number. That's 35,000 individuals and families who don't have a permanent residence to call home. But can you imagine not having a home at Christmas? No family round the table telling rubbish cracker jokes and arguing over what to watch after you've eaten enough food to feed a small country – it'd be awful. This Christmas, you can part with your pennies to help a homeless person get a hot, tasty meal on Christmas Day. Social Bite, a social enterprise café which provides employment for homeless people, is asking for people to purchase Christmas dinner for a homeless person for just £5 – you can get involved here. Elsewhere, for £22.32, you can reserve a place for a homeless person at a Crisis shelter for Christmas – that'll give them an overnight stay, a hot shower, three meals including dinner and the chance to get a health check too. Find out more on the Crisis website.
2. Support relief efforts in Aleppo
As the situation in #Aleppo continues to unfold, thousands of children are suffering in silence. While there are no easy solutions to this complex crisis, UNICEF is doing everything it can to reach children and families in and around the city with lifesaving interventions, warm winter clothes and blankets, food, clean water and more. #Syria #ChildrenofSyria
The headlines are currently being dominated by the conflict in Aleppo, Syria. The images of the city torn apart by war are heartbreaking. And while Christmas isn't celebrated in this Muslim country, seeing people suffer at a time of year we so often associate with hope, joy and family is not right. The Syrian government has banned overseas aid from entering the country, but there are agencies working on the ground to help families – you can get a full list of who's doing what here.
3. Take part in Christmas Jumper Day
This Friday is Christmas Jumper Day, Save the Children's annual fundraising effort which asks you to don your naffest knitwear in exchange for a £1 donation to the charity's work. Get your pals, family and colleagues involved and maybe put on some extra fundraising activities too, like a raffle or a cake sale. All money raised will help to save children's lives, going towards healthcare, education projects, food and protection for millions of children living in poverty around the world. Sign up to get involved at www.christmasjumperday.org.
4. Donate to your local food bank
The UK's biggest food collection has begun! Over the next three days, wonderful #foodbank #volunteers will be at #Tesco stores across the country, handing out shopping lists and collecting your donated items, all to support people struggling with #hunger in your #community this #Christmas. #EveryCanHelps #NeighbourhoodFoodCollection #TrussellTrust #Foodbanks #EndHungerUK
Food bank use in Scotland is at a record high, with families struggling to find the cash to feed themselves and their kids. The Trussell Trust, a food bank charity which operates across the UK, gave out over 1.1 million three-day food supplies in 2015-2016. It's not right that people are having to rely on the kindness of strangers to survive – but while we wait on that political scandal being rectified, you can help. Most supermarkets have collection bins at the door these days, where you can pop in items like tinned food, dried pasta and long-life milk, or you can donate to your nearest food bank direct. Find out more at www.trusselltrust.org.
5. Play at Santa
More than 1 in 5 Scots kids are living in poverty – and chances are, budgets won't stretch to give them the toy-laden Christmas their classmates talk about. To give Santa a helping hand, you can donate toys and gifts at toy banks across the country, or through the Salvation Army's annual Christmas Present Appeal. You just need to purchase a new toy and drop it off – easy!
What will you be doing to give back this Christmas? Let us know on Twitter?

Support for Instructors
General Course Support
Individual appointments. Our consultants collaborate with student writers both in-person and online through a dialogue-based approach which starts with your assignment. We aim to balance the professor's requirements, the students' goals, and our own experience as teachers of writing as we talk with students, always working toward a realistic agenda for revision. We recommend students make recurring appointments with different consultants whenever they have a complex writing project at hand. For an academic essay, for example, students might make at least two or three appointments throughout their drafting process.
You can help encourage students to use our services by mentioning them often in class and via email, posting a link to our site in BlackBoard, and including a blurb about us in your syllabi. Because appointments are usually necessary, we ask that you refer students to our Center, but do not require visits.
Info for your syllabus. Feel free to copy and paste the following for your syllabus.
Experienced consultants at the Writing Center (101 HB Crouse Hall, on the Quad) are available to work one-on-one with you at any stage of your writing process and with any kind of writing you're creating. Whether you need help understanding an assignment, brainstorming ideas, revising subsequent drafts, or developing editing strategies, face-to-face and online chat appointments are available for 25- or 50-minute sessions throughout the semester. Appointments can be reserved up to six days in advance via their online scheduling program, WCOnline. In addition, drop-in appointments are welcome Monday through Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and brief concerns, questions, or drafts (max of 5 pages) can be emailed to consultants via their eWC service. For more information on hours, location and services, please visit http://wc.syr.edu.
Classroom visits. Consultants are available at any point in the semester to briefly visit your class to discuss when and how to reserve an appointment, review some of our basic policies, and answer questions about our services. These visits generally take 15-20 minutes of class time.
Specialized Support
Workshops. Consultants can custom design a workshop for any population of your college, program, or course for a fee. In the past we have created workshops for staff on writing in the workplace, for students in the Defense Comptrollership Program, international students enrolled in the Public Administration Program, and graduate students in the Future Professoriate Program. We have also run workshops on citation, plagiarism, and source use. Fees are generally $75/hour for instruction and $50/hour for preparation.
Dedicated consultants. If you need specific, long-term writing support for your course or program, consider hiring a consultant. In the past our consultants have assisted with theses in the Honors Program, rigorous papers in Maxwell 123 and 132, and with new students writing for the Masters in Public Health Program. Costs begin at approximately $4,350 for 140 hours of support throughout the semester (about 10 hours per week).
Evaluation for course placement. Consultants are available, for a fee, to read and assess student writing to help determine placement in future courses or programs. Generally fees cost about $500 per every 20 students.
Professional development for faculty. Consultants are available, for a fee, to present on aspects of student writing, including assessment practices, assignment design, peer review structures, or other in-class writing activities. Fees are generally $75/hour for instruction and $50/hour for preparation.

In this guide, we review the five best hoverboard brands and help pick the right one for you.
The self-balancing scooters were a bit of a spectacle in 2015, with fans multiplying like Marvel comic franchises. It started off with a couple of celebrities being spotted riding on them, and then they became popular among the ordinary folk. Now, every time you walk downtown, there's some cool gadget buzzing by with blinking lights.
There are numerous reasons why hoverboards became popular so quickly. For starters, they help you cut back on fuel cost. In such an unpredictable economy, many are looking for ways to save money. What better way to keep the money you'd be spending on short commutes than by investing in a hoverboard? Self-balancing scooters are also eco-friendly, portable and have compact designs. This article focuses on the best hoverboards brands on the market.
Below we've listed the five best hoverboard brands on the market today. Read on and find the perfect hoverboard in minutes!
Which are the Best Hoverboard Brands?
#1 StreetSaw
StreetSaw is one of the leading manufacturers of the two-wheeled electric scooters and for a good reason. Their gadgets are praised for their high quality, durability, and safety. These self-balancing scooters allow individuals to ride smoothly and steadily.
Off-Road Hoverboard Riding
StreetSaw claims that their self-balancing scooters were designed to be taken off the road. Their 10-inch wheels can conquer big and rough terrains such as grassy fields and rocky surfaces. On the flipside, the larger size of the wheels makes it a tad difficult to maneuver. So, if you don't want your turning speed and agility to be compromised, you can go for their 6.5" or 8"-wheeled hoverboards. StreetSaw also designs hoverboards tailored street riding.
Another plus of the StreetSaw hoverboards is the LED lights that shine up to 6.5 feet. It means that if you're riding in the dark, you'll have excellent visibility. Also, other motorists will be able to see you from a far distance. The StreetSaw hoverboard boasts a speed of 11.2 miles per hour. This is the ideal speed whether you're riding on or off the road.
Quality Batteries
As with most self-balancing scooters, the StreetSaw model is battery-powered. The good thing is that the battery can last for five to six hours. It means that you can ride the hoverboard for a prolonged period before having to recharge. Although the batteries in some models take longer to charge (2 to 3 hours), it is worth waiting given their capability to operate for longer.
Certain features make StreetSaw hoverboards stand out. For instance, they have added ventilation on the underneath of the board. This goes to show that the company thought through the design.
They also have very responsive customer support. If you check out their website, you'll see a chat feature on the bottom right. StreetSaw technicians are always ready to answer any questions you have. If you're looking to purchase from this brand, you can choose from any one of these five hoverboards:
DailySaw: this is a cheap and popular model. It has excellent battery life, quick charging time and high top speed.
FutureSaw: this one is known for its sleek design. It employs the same brushless electric motor tech that is used in Tesla and comes with a dual-channel speaker.
StabilitySaw: the 10-inch wheeled scooter can be ridden on the roughest terrain.
AlienSaw: it boasts Bluetooth technology, which allows riders to play music on the go. It's also suitable for heavy riders; can accommodate up to 280 pounds.
RockSaw: it's the latest invention. It's designed for all terrains, has a speed 10.5 miles per hour and is UL 2272 certified.
We rank StreetSaw as one of the best hoverboard brands. Fantastic support, stunning products, and exceptional prices.
#2 Halo Board
Halo Board is another renowned manufacturer of hoverboards. Their most popular model is the Halo Rover, which has been designed with close attention to detail, resulting in a gadget of the finest standards. Here are some of the reasons we consider Halo Board as one of the best hoverboard brands.
Safe Ride
The most significant worry among hoverboard users is the possibility of these gadgets blowing up in their faces. However, with a high-quality model like the Halo Rover, you need not harbor any concerns regarding your safety.
This self-balancing scooter boasts UL certification that has been approved by the US Government. What this means is that the Halo Rover has been subjected to numerous tests to certify that it will not overheat or malfunction during use.
All Terrain Capability
Only a few hoverboard models are designed to handle all terrains. The Halo Rover is one such exception, which guarantees a comfortable and safe ride regardless of the terrain; be it snow, mud, the streets or sand.
The 8.8-inch wheels guarantee a smooth ride, allowing users to maneuver both dry and wet surfaces with ease. These tires are fitted with shock absorbers and stability sensors to provide users with well-balanced rides.
Supreme Convenience
The top speed of this self-balancing scooter is 10 miles per hour on a single charge. With the Halo Rover, you can even climb inclined places thanks to the robust wheels and well-balanced structure. What's more, the hoverboard's speed never gets compromised by water splashes or rain.
This hoverboard can be ridden by anyone, thanks to the array of riding modes that it has. If you're a beginner, you can use the learning mode. More skilled riders can choose between regular and advanced riding modes.
Like StreetSaw, this electric scooter also has LED lights at the front and back to enhance visibility. But what makes this hoverboard stand out is the convenience offered by its GPS tracking system, which keeps tabs on the power, speed, and distance.
Although the Halo Rover has a high price tag, it compensates for this with a variety of features and a robust design. So, if you're looking for a hoverboard that has quality battery power and one that offers stability and comfort, the Halo Rover is your best bet.
All in all, HaloBoard produce some of the top self-balancing scooters on the market.
Established in 2013, Shenzhen Tomoloo Tech was one of the first entrants in the hoverboard industry. In the five years that the company has been in existence, it has grown to become a reliable manufacturer of self-balancing scooters. Their hoverboards, which are feature-rich, have won the hearts of many consumers. The following reasons make TOMOLOO one of the best hoverboard brands.
One reason why people admire the Tomoloo hoverboard is that it's safe. This self-balancing scooter has been certified by the Underwriters Laboratory, a global safety consulting and certification organization. Tomoloo's range of scooters has also undergone rigorous tests to be approved by the CPSC. This certification is proof that these tools are of premium quality and completely safe.
Unique LEDs
The majority of hoverboards are fitted with simple LEDs. The Tomoloo hoverboard is different in that it has a mixture of red, green and blue LED lights. With such lighting, you are bound to fall in love with it.
Top Speed
Another feature that sets this hoverboard apart is its exemplary speed of 12 miles per hour. You can ride at this speed on a single charge. And the best part is, it doesn't take that long that to recharge.
Bluetooth Capability
However, the crowning glory of the Tomoloo hoverboard is its impressive Bluetooth 4.0 capability. The fact that you can play your favorite music as you ride the scooter makes it an ideal gadget for kids and teens.
Weight Limit
Perhaps the only caveat of this hoverboard is that it can only accommodate a maximum weight of 264 pounds. Although this is a smaller weight limit than the AlienSaw, this self-balancing scooter is sturdy enough to carry the average adult.
Overall, the Tomoloo hoverboard is a worthy buy. It has smart features and looks stylish in the different colors that it comes in. But the most important thing is that it's safe and free from fire hazards. The batteries are supreme and last a long time. Enjoy the Tomoloo hoverboard ride by purchasing it here.
EPIKGO is a late entrant into the hoverboard market. Nonetheless, this company has managed to create a hi-tech hoverboard, which can compete with existing models. Their latest models have made them one of the best hoverboard brands of all time.
Thanks to its robust design, the EPIKGO Classic is a reliable model. The wheel cover is constructed using indestructible aluminum while the chassis is made of durable ABS material.
The wheels, which are made of solid rubber, can cruise on any terrain with minimal effort. Whether you're riding the Epikgo hoverboard on grass, pavement or road, it will deliver excellent performance. Another thing you'll notice about the Epikgo hoverboard is that it's big. This translates to more feet space, better control and balance.
Like other high-end models, the Epikgo hoverboard guarantees complete protection as you ride. This model boasts UL2272 certification for the board and UL2271 certification for the smart LG battery. More specifically, this hoverboard has been subjected to more than 150 tests on safety regulations and found to be safe from potential fire hazards.
If you compare it to other hoverboard brands, the Epikgo is a big and powerful machine. It uses dual 400-watt motors, delivering a maximum speed of 12 miles per hour on a single charge. What's more, this self-balancing scooter is capable of climbing slopes, which are 18-degrees steep. If you examine other hoverboards, you will notice that their motors are positioned in the wheels. In contrast, the Epikgo motors are placed on the board to give more space for better stability.
Albeit being invented just recently, the Epikgo has made its entry with a bang. This machine can cruise on any terrain effortlessly. Thanks to the 400-watt Dual motors, the hoverboard can climb an 18-degree uphill slope. You will also be pleased with its sturdy build, which can withstand extreme weather conditions. The only drawback is that it does not have a learning mode, making it an unsuitable choice for beginners.
#5 Swagtron
Swagtron is undoubtedly one of the best hoverboard brands out there. When hoverboard brands started being recalled because of their likelihood of catching fire, Swagtron was one of the first manufacturers to make an explosion-proof model. Below are the specifications of the Swagtron hoverboards.
These are among the safest self-balancing scooters on the market. With so many incidents of hoverboards catching fire, you'll want a model like Swagtron that guarantees 100% safety. All their scooters are UL 2272-certified. Swagtron has also incorporated additional safety mechanisms such as the Battery management system (BMS), Stop Safe technology and flame-resistant frame.
The Swagtron T-Series
Since its establishment in 2015, Swagtron has invented an array of hoverboards that include the T1, T3, T5, T6 and T8 series. Keep in mind that some of these features are not available in all the models.
App Control
If you want a hoverboard that has excellent Bluetooth and app connectivity, you should go for Swagtron T3 or T580 or T6 models. This feature makes them unique and one that many hoverboard riders enjoy. All you need to do is to connect the device via the Swagtron app, and you can perform a range of functions such as playing songs, pausing, adjusting the volume, all while riding your hoverboard.
Built-in carry strap
One factor that discourages consumers from purchasing a hoverboard is the fact that they're bulky. Thankfully, some Swagtron hoverboards come with a carrying handle, which makes it convenient to carry them around. This feature comes in handy when your hoverboard runs out of battery along the way, and you're forced to carry the scooter home.
LED lighting
If the only time you have to ride your hoverboard is in the early morning or late in the evening, you'll appreciate the LED headlights fitted in the Swagtron T-series. These lighting fixtures illuminate your path while also making your presence known to other motorists.
Weight Capacity
Most Swagtron hoverboards have a wide range of load capacities averaging to 260 pounds. However, there are other models such as the Swagtron T6 model, whose maximum weight capacity is 420 pounds, which is the best hoverboard for heavy people.
Wrap Up: Best Hoverboard Brands
If you're looking to purchase a self-balancing scooter, there are inherent risks brought about by these tools.
Although the likelihood of a fire is now limited, the chance is much lower if you go for a model that is UL-compliant. In the end, it depends on your personal preference, budget, and needs.Hoverboards are an absolute joy to use, and it's no wonder that they're still popular. If you're tired of walking during your short commutes, why not consider investing in one of the top-rated hoverboard brands?
The five listed above are the best hoverboard brands in our opinion. You won't go wrong choosing either. The rest if for you to decide!

51. "Jane: Here is my green bunny. I haven't been fast enough to send with each lesson. But I so enjoyed the last few TIAS years, even though I didn't email any. Everybody has so much fun guessing. I used size 20 Lizbeth thread in 2 shades of green I already had on my shuttles. Thank you for all the TIAS game patterns, I am looking forward to the next one.

Need advice in setting up backup versions
I'm new to Backupper and would like some advice on scheduling. I previously used WinZIP daily and kept three monthly backups. I used the MS Task Scheduler to run batch files on the last day of the month to rename/copy backups so that BACKUP3 was always the oldest, BACKUP2 was the prior month's, and BACKUP1 was the current month. It might be crude, but it worked. Every six months I copied the current BACKUP2 offline, including the date in the file name (e.g., BACKUP1May17) to make it unique and obvious.
Unless you have a better suggestion, I plan to follow the same scheme with Backupper. I made a full backup at the beginning of the month and differential backups daily. After making a new full backup at the beginning of the next month, I plan to delete all the differential backups. Should I rename the first full backup to include the date in the name? Will renaming cause any problem if I need to restore? Will probably do the renaming and deleting manually until I understand the pattern and see a way to automate it. Suggestion very welcome.
The backups are stored on a 2 terabyte USB drive, along with a lot of other files. I don't intend to let Backupper fill the drive. Reading the documentation, I can't figure out how to make the number of versions automatic deletion work with the naming scheme. Should I just forget about renaming and set the version count to three?
Why do you need to rename the backup file? If you enable the backup scheme, it will delete old backups automatically.
OK, I understand that I don't have to rename the backup file. How do I make a scheme that makes a full backup followed by a month of differential backups and then repeats the process for three months? The result should be three sets, each set consisting of one full backup and a month's worth of differential backups. Some months would have 29 differentials and some would have 30.
Is it asking too much to have the backups tied to months? I know how to do that using the MS Task Scheduler, but maybe Backupper's scheduler can't do that?
Maybe you could try the scheme below:
Am I correct that Backup Schemes are not available in the free Standard version?

The Trebartha Estate came into Rodd ownership in 1729 following the death of Mary Grylls, the last surviving heir of the Spoure family. Read more ...
The Rodd family came originally from Leominster in Hereford, but by the seventeenth century had moved to Devon, where James Rodd took for his second wife Grace, daughter of Edward Bampfylde of Oakhay, Stoke Cannon. They had one son, Bampfylde Rodd. James' third wife was Mary, daughter of John Bampfylde of Poltimore, Devon; they had seven children, one of whom was the Mary Rodd who in 1675 married Edmund Spoure of Trebartha.
The Rodd family arms are shown above. The blazon reads "Per fesse sable and argent, in base two trefoils slipped of the first". The arms can be seen in St Torney's church. They can be seen on the bench ends of some pews, on a stained glass window and on the Spoure memorial. Although this memorial predates the Rodd family's occupation it can be seen from the preceding paragraph that there was a connection through Edmund Spoure's mother.
Francis Rodd, born in 1683, was a son of James Rodd's son Bampfylde Rodd by his second wife Bridget. In 1730 Francis married Alice Sandford of Exeter and they moved to Trebartha. The marriage settlement listed the property in Devon which he had inherited from his father, and set up a trust for Alice and her family out of lands in Devon and Cornwall to be purchased with her marriage portion of £1600.
Francis died in 1736 leaving all his property to his son Francis. Until the boy came of age the estate was managed by trustees, including his mother Alice, who purchased considerable amounts of land on his behalf. A memorial to Francis, his wife and daughters was erected in St Torney's church by his daughter, Alicia.
After Francis came of age he continued to extend the family estates by purchasing land in Altarnun, Lewannick, Linkinhorne and North Hill, but acquired even more valuable property by his marriage in 1763 to Jane Hearle of Penryn. Their marriage settlement lists in meticulous detail all the lands of the Rodd family, viz: those inherited from Mary Spoure; those inherited from Bampfylde Rodd; lands purchased by Francis' father, and by his mother Alice, and lands which he himself had purchased. Jane's property was considerable, including part of the manor of Trelissick in St. Erth and lands in Gwinear, Phillack, Paul, Gwennap, Mabe, Penryn and Stithians.
Francis and Jane had five children that survived into adulthood: Francis Hearle, John Tremayne, Edward, Jane and Harriet. Jane predeceased her husband and in 1784 Francis married Ann, daughter of William Sandford of Somerset. A new settlement was drawn up. The marriage was childless, Ann dying in 1807, Francis in 1812. The estates were inherited by Francis' eldest son Francis Hearle Rodd, who in 1795 had married Mary Ann Coryton.
Francis Hearle Rodd continued to purchase property in North Hill and Linkinhorne, but his marriage was childless, and the Rev. Edward Rodd became his brother's heir. He was rector of St. Just-in-Roseland, and in 1805 married Harriet, daughter of Charles Rashleigh of Duporth in St. Austell. They had a large family; the eldest son, Francis, married Mary Rashleigh, and their son Francis Rashleigh Rodd married Julia Graves Sawle in 1882. Francis died in 1922 aged 83. His funeral was recalled in a newspaper cutting of 2012.
By 1939 his nephew Major Edward Francis Stanhope Rodd had inherited Trebartha; he was succeeded by four daughters.
"The Cornishman" newspaper of 5th February 1880 carried a report on the "Ancestry of The Late Mr Edward Hearle Rodd", following his recent death. It explained some of the history of Trebartha Hall and the Rodd family. Read more ...
In 1940 Major Rodd deposited the family documents at the City Library in Exeter; although almost the entire collection relates to Cornwall, there was at that time no County Record Office in Cornwall. In 1971 Major Rodd's daughter, Mrs. E. Mann of Bowerchalke, Salisbury, requested the Exeter City Library to transfer the Rodd documents to the Cornwall Record Office, and the transfer was completed in January 1972. The present catalogue was compiled between March and October 1974. Mrs. Mann and her three sisters retained the original "Spoure Book". The diaries of Francis Rodd, Francis Hearle Rodd, Rev. Edward Rodd and Col. Francis Rodd were given to the Record Office by Mr. Brian Latham who had purchased Trebartha in 1940.

Delta Air Lines Inc. said a malfunction in one part of the electrical system that powers computers at its Atlanta headquarters caused the grounding of 1,000 flights Monday and continued to roil travel plans a day later.
In the first detailed public explanation of the outage, Gil West, the chief operating officer, said in a statement Tuesday that a "power control module" at the airline's technology center malfunctioned early Monday morning, "causing a surge to the transformer and a loss of power."
Read: Stranded travelers stand to get better compensation than Delta's $200 offer
Power was quickly restored, but some critical systems and equipment didn't switch over to backups, causing "instability," he said. For instance, Delta is seeing a slowdown in a system that airport agents use to process check-ins, conduct boarding and dispatch aircraft. He also said flight-crew scheduling was disrupted, contributing to delays in getting operations back to normal.
Delta DAL, +1.19% initially blamed a power outage. But a spokesman for Georgia Power, the Southern Co.-owned electric utility that serves nearly the entire state, said it had no power outage. Technicians responded to Delta's problems early Monday and concluded the issue was a failed "switchgear," which is like a fuse box at home that routes the power in and distributes it throughout the house, he said.
Also read: Delta outage highlights reliance on outdated technology
The airline scrubbed another 530 flights on Tuesday, as it worked to be get back on track. Ed Bastian, Delta's chief executive, appearing in a second video in as many days, told customers to expect some delays and cancellations on Wednesday before the system returns to full function.
An expanded version of this report appears on WSJ.com.

Robot Joe is the commander of Flames of Fate factory. He is a member of the Trumpet Gang who can copy the player's skills.
Robot Joe has a violet suit, representing as a Stratus member of the Trumpet Gang. He has a helmet with two-way spoiler-like for the top part and a purple vision with a red circular eye vision.
Joe, while speaking in a highly robotic tone, is very intelligent. He is very sassy and always tries to pull the legs of his opponents.
Joe also seems to enjoy exploiting the fact that most of the Alliance is in the 13-18 age bracket, proven by the fact that he used the Trumpet Blaster as a stall for time so that he and the Gang's remnants could throw toilet paper all over the Alliance's base. As expected, this severely enrages Cielo, as Team Different Dimensions had done it before, taking a week to clean up.
When first encountered, Joe has copied Maurice Altara's entire moveset:
- Joe fires an orb at a cost of his health. If it lands, health is restored and damage is dealt to the player hit.
- Joe charges up energy around himself then releases it for an immense speed boost. (However, this move can glitch resulting in Joe beginning to walk backwards instead.)
- Joe creates a massive Stratus explosion.
- Joe charges energy to enter a zen state similar to Maurice's zen state, to release it all for a slight recovery afterwards.
During his second fight, he copies moves from several characters, such as:
