A living legend of the Polish and Worldwide Himalayan climbing. The man is known for his endurance and drive. He transformed the thing he loves most into the profession of a mountain guide. He took part and organised over 300 expeditions into the highest mountains. On the Summit exclusive: a in-depth interview with Ryszard Pawłowski.
Bartek Andrzejewski: In a span of 40 years' of you being active in the mountain, it's been 20 years since you have been leading people onto the summits on the commercial expeditions. How did it come to be that having completed such a successful and grand climbs have you decided for such a step? What was the turning point?
Ryszard Pawłowski: In the beginning all of it came from a great passion and adventure at the same time, but I was quickly gaining recognition among other climbing. I was becoming better at this and the passion was starting to take the most of my time, so I decided to dedicate myself to this to the full. Although I had a granted job at the mine and sometimes I even got offers of taking well-paid posts and though I had a Master's degree, it was climbing that fascinated me the most. That was when I decided to risk the unknown at that time. I wanted to spend my time mostly away and eventually make my living out of it. So I gained the licenses of instructor for alpine climbing and many rich companies from the west offered me to take part in various expeditions. I took on that opportunity and hence got my chance on the Everest, Lhotse, Nanga Parbat, Island Peak, McKinley or Aconcagua and still got some money out of it. With time I came to a conclusion I should start to make my own brand. The main drive was that I simply like this that much but also that it turns out one can make a living out of it.

BARTEK ANDRZEJEWSKI: It is known that not every man is able to cope with harsh and often extreme high-mountain conditions. How do you qualify the participants for your expeditions? Can anyone come into the highest mountains with you?
RYSZARD PAWŁOWSKI: When I meet someone whom I have never heard of, I always ask them what they have completed in the mountains,what their experience is, what height they have reached. This is how judge the skills of such people. If I reckon such a person is fit for expedition but I still have my doubts than comes an option to scrutinise them during the expedition itself. If in midst of action someone comes far from the others but is very determined to reach the goal then such a person can be teamed with a "guardian angel" in a form of a high-altitude Sherpa. Sometimes I take on such a role and help with the ascent. But I tend to focus on coordinating the actions of the whole team. If someone comes up to me before the expedition whom I have major doubts about, I offer him something easier for the start, somewhere where they can also see how they cope with high altitudes, walk in crampons, tackle difficulties, so that the first try is not that expensive as let's say Mount Everest. Thanks to my experience I am able to evaluate the potential of the people who approach me against the difficulties they can tackle. In the end, all that matters is their safety.
BARTEK ANDRZEJEWSKI: Do you appoint each person a certain training schedule so that they are prepared enough for the planned expedition?
RYSZARD PAWŁOWSKI: Indeed, many people do tend to ask me how to become fully prepared. It is a sensible thing to ask me about a year or half a year prior to the trip. Then I advise them to start from the basics. If the member is e.g. a smoker, I advise them to cut down on cigarettes. If someone is not an active person, I suggest them running from time to time or some hiking, completing a few routes, even the ones meant for tourists, for them to see what they are capable of. I have learned that if someone turns up last-minute and then takes on an intensive training routine, it always ends in exhaustion and injuries. When there is little time left such practice is even more dangerous than not being very active sports-wise. We plan our schedule in the mountains so that people can get accustomed to the conditions with time. There are places where we stay for two nights solely for that purpose, we also regularly ascend to some altitudes to get used to it. This facilitates the preparation process a lot.

BARTEK ANDRZEJEWSKI: How many time a year do you take your clients on expeditions? Do you have time to realise your own projects or do you focus solely on business?
RYSZARD PAWŁOWSKI: My profession requires me to travel a few times a year. Standard expeditions are those aimed at Aconcagua, Ama Dablam, Elbrus or Island Peak, as well as trekkings e.g. in Karakoram. As far as my own excursions are concerned, I always go somewhere, but seldom do I make them a public issue. Expeditions that bring me pleasure or can be even considered as ambitious are all related my dreams, of which some I manage to fulfill, while others remain to be realised. In 2014 me and my friends climbed a mountain that is very special to me, where I even have gone with my family. This mountain is McKinley. We wanted to complete an ascent through Casssin's Line, a sports route which has so far had only one Polish completion. We spent over a month on the glacier but did not manage to complete the climb. Actually some trips, such as ice climbing, drytooling or rock climbing I organise solely to meet my needs and friends whom I like to spend time with. I also realise that nowadays I am no match for the extreme challenges. After all I am a man of a considerable age and the dangerous attempts are long past. But I still have aims and hope to have them achieved. I can say that one of them is coming back to Patagonia where I have been several times before, the Chilean and the Argentinean. I have climbed Fitz Roy, Aguja Poincenot and Torres del Paine (the central and northern pyramid). But now our goal is the Ragni route on the west face of Cerro Torre. Twice have I been close to the summit of that mountain ascending the Maestri route through the compressor so I hope now will be the time I succeed.
BARTEK ANDRZEJEWSKI: You have climbed the likes of Aconcagua, Ama Dablam several dozens of times each. Don't you simply get tired of ascending the same mountains over and over again? Don't you get an impresssion you would climb them blind-folded?
RYSZARD PAWŁOWSKI: I do agree that I can pinpoint the location of every chunk of rock on these mountains. But I go there each time to guide people who have never before seen them and that makes my day. Do I tire of it? I find this profession way more satisfying compared to the jobs I took before I started climbing. For 15 years I have worked in a mine and for 10 I have worked below the ground. When someone asks if I get bored when walking the same mountain path for the twentieth time then doing that against any secluded-space office job where you spend hundreds of hours without moving is beyond any comparison. The mountains are not just snow, stones and altitude. They also consist of people, who are different on every expedition. Friendships are formed, new expedition plans are laid out. Besides I can plan my work however I want to.

BARTEK ANDRZEJEWSKI: You have mentioned working in a mine. Which is interesting since your great mountain adventure started underground. Can you tell something more about it?
RYSZARD PAWŁOWSKI: My adventure with the mountains has indeed started from caving. The spelunkers' to whom I belonged was back then formed a very social and open community. I was perceived as one of them and I dealt with that activity for three years. What I completed back then was practically everything there was to be completed in the Polish caves. Here I would like to boast about an achievement I had, meaning reaching the bottom of the deepest and longest Polish cave, the Wielka Śnieżna. My partner in this was Jurek Kukuczka and that was a long time ago, when Jurek was a member of a boy-scout climbing club.
BARTEK ANDRZEJEWSKI: You have climbed McKinley many times. The youngest Pole ever to have reached the summit is your son, Marcin who in 1999 as a 15-year old ascended it with you. How did this come to be?
RYSZARD PAWŁOWSKI: My son Marcin has visited rock climbing spots since he was only 4 and since then has he been climbing. When he was 8, we have already climbed Zamarła Turnia via routes ranging V in difficulty scale. When he became older, we went away to Tatra mountains on each school winter break. We mainly lived in Betlejemka in Hala Gąsienicowa and completed climbs using winter-climbing tools on such peaks as Kościelec or Świnica. With time Marcin also learned to ski, then snowboard. Generally speaking, he was well-prepared for a mountain expedition. Thanks to this preparation, Marcin was fit for a more serious challenge. I believe it should be a goal for any father to pass his passion onto son, so he can comprehend it. We reached McKinley , the highest peak of Northern American continent, together as the first team of all the members of that expedition, the rest got there long time after us. Some people asked if I was afraid to take him to such places. The answer is simply no, not for a single moment. I have always thought the people that lived in our neighbourhood posed a far greater threat to him. It was not a safe place to live in. I would really like to be in his shoes to be able to say that my father had showed me the mountains and that those were great times for us both.

BARTEK ANDRZEJEWSKI: Is your son still an active climber? Would you want him to follow your route, which you had chosen for yourself about 40 years before?
RYSZARD PAWŁOWSKI: Marcin has been living in USA since 8 years. He does not climb as frequently as I would wish him to, but I still hope that the longing for the mountains will one day surface in him, because I would really love him to support me in what I do now. But Marcin is still very young and has time to make such decisions. At the moment we plan to get back at Denali in 2015. We have also decided to climb McKinley together once again, only this time via Cassin's Pillar or the West Rib route.
BARTEK ANDRZEJEWSKI: Expeditions onto the summits of the highest mountains that have never before been reached in the winter season, involving Polish climbers, are now organised. Tomek Mackiewicz will make another shot at Nanga Parbat, K2 will be attacked by Adam Bielecki. Can you comment on these endeavours from an expert's point of view? What percentage of success would you give to each of these attempts? (editor's note: the interview was made before the permit for K2 expedition was declined by the government of China)
RYSZARD PAWŁOWSKI: It would be great if Poland had its share in reaching these summits. As far as Nanga Parbat is concerned, does Tomek have a chance to reach the peak? I would not like to make any speculations, but I am sure he is very determined to complete this task in winter. What I do not understand is why doesn't he ask Polish Alpine Association to take a patronage over his expedition. All in all I reckon Nanga Parbat will be easier than K2, but might not necessarily be reached by the Poles first. As far as I know, other teams will be present there as well. I value highly the capabilities of Daniel Nardi's team or of the Russians. When it comes to Denis Urubko and Adam Bielecki, they make a strong team for K2. Denis is among the world's best, not only is his stamina impressive, he is also known for good decisions and strong psyche. He seems like a calm, sensible and intelligent person, so he has those qualities to back him up along his reputation.
BARTEK ANDRZEJEWSKI: You have reached the summit of Nanga Parbat and K2 in 1993-1996. What challenge did those monuments pose for you, a legendary alpinist back then? Have you ever considered approaching them during the winter?
RYSZARD PAWŁOWSKI: Before Nanga Parbat was conquered solo by my personal idol, Hermann Buhl, many German climbers and porters had died on its face. That made grounds for me to approach this summit very carefully and it came to me as a great surprise when in 1993 me and Bogdan Stefko reached it only after two weeks since getting to base camp. It is true that these were the best times for me as a climber. Currently each year even several people reach the summit of Nanga Parbat via Diamir. When it comes to K2, I made my first approach in 1996. The goal was tough because we decided to reach the summit via the northern pillar from the China side. The whole expedition lasted 3 months, because we constantly fought against bad weather and big technical difficulties. Piotr Pustelnik and I managed to reach the summit in the last days of it, three days after the ascent made by Krzysztof Wielicki. The route that we completed was not to be repeated for the next 16 years, in spite of many teams' efforts. This testifies the class of this climb and how it differs from Nanga Parbat. Unfortunately in the last 3 years K2 from the Pakistani side became a goal for commercial expeditions and though it is hard to believe, thanks to the installed rigging and clearing of the way performed by the Sherpas the summit was visited by 22 people on a single day. I am afraid this mountain will with time turn into another Mount Everest. Compared to now, what we did 20 years ago is something completely different. Back then our equipment was carried by ourselves, we did not have Sherpas to help us, there was not as much oxygen available. Back then the summit was meant for 4 people the most, currently even 40 people can put their foot on it on just one day. As far as the winter attempts are concerned, I participated in two expeditions led by Andrzej Zawada aimed at reaching the summit of Nanga Parbat from the Diamir face, but to no avail.
BARTEK ANDRZEJEWSKI: And what do you think about the concept of climbing K2 in winter from the north, via the eastern ridge? This route was chosen by Denis Urubko though none has ever attempted to reach the summit that way.
RYSZARD PAWŁOWSKI: If I can recall correctly, the Denis choice of route has had its attempt by the Polish expedition led by Janusz Kurczab. I believe the main reason behind Urubko's decision was that the slope is not as steep there as from the other sides. This face is also exposed less to the winds and has more snow on it. Smaller team will also be very flexible which is also a great plus. But this can also be the team's downfall should any of the members be out of action. Let's just keep our fingers crossed for them to achieve a victory. Even if the Poles do not contribute to this success, cheering for anyone making such an attempt as reaching the summit of K2 in winter is worth it.
BARTEK ANDRZEJEWSKI: You have completed climbs along Piotr Pustelnik, Krzysztof Wielicki, Jerzy Kukuczka. You and Kukuczka made a formidable team until the tragic end on the south face of Lhotse of 1989. Can you tell us anything about him as a partner? What kind of person was he for you?
RYSZARD PAWŁOWSKI: I do not want this to sound as if I were Jurek's partner. I watched him in the club, he was older than me, had greater achievements. Then I cheered on his competitions or ascents in the winter. I was not a partner for Jurek, should you define such partnership as forming a steady team each time. There were two expeditions in which I was a true partner with him, i.e. Lhotse expeditions of 1985 and 1989. Jurek was well known for his drive, though his psychical qualities did not vouch for him as well as in the case of Wojciech Kurtyka or Krzysztof Wielicki, he was not trained as well or fit as they were. But in those hard times when others decided to back away, Jurek carried on and ultimately reached his goals. For me he was a hearty and friendly fellow who it was easy to get along with. Never have I seen him quarrelling with anyone. He also tried to forge pacts and neutralise any conflicts in their first phase. He was also a religious man and I think the faith was his source of additional strength and courage.
BARTEK ANDRZEJEWSKI: There was a time when you had a reputation of a climber whom it was better not to team up with. For sure the media played their part in forming it, especially after the expeditions you participated in when someone had died. How did you cope with this? Did they not put a pressure on you to withhold from next expeditions?
RYSZARD PAWŁOWSKI: After the tragic accident on Lhotse in which Jurek had died, someone would make a remark from time to time that if we had used a thicker rope, the tragedy would not have happened. But the truth was, that the decisions we made were the only option if I we were to reach the summit via that route. We were experienced climbers who had made an educated decision on the way of climb, aware of the risk involved. But whenever one wants to achieve something that has never been done before, the risk factor is very high. That is just the way it is. It was always painful to me to learn of someone's death, especially if that person was a friend of mine, but never had such pain turned me away from the mountains. I have always tried to do what I considered to be right. I had my own dreams that I have and always will strive to realise.
BARTEK ANDRZEJEWSKI: A physician who took part in expeditions with you, Jan Kalaciński said you were a person simply made to endure in extreme conditions of the high mountains, naming many of your features. And to say the truth, knowing what difficulties you were in (e.g. a night spent on a ledge in the death zone at Mount Everest without a bivouacking equipment) it is hard to disagree. And what is your view on that?
RYSZARD PAWŁOWSKI: I have to agree with Jan Kalaciński that I am predestined or even genetically adequate to what I do. I have bivouacked in many harsh places. The bivouac at Everest was really extreme. During the descent the weather broke down and me and my team got lost. I just sat down at the height of 8 500 m, because my headlamp was no longer on and there were no ropes rigged that I could use to hold on to and walk down somehow. I knew it was going to be hard, which was why I motivated myself to stay alive from the first minutes of my wait, especially not to fall asleep. And I managed through the night without a single frostbite. In the morning my Sherpas came to see if I was okay. It turned out that two of my colleagues from another expedition had spent the night right next to me, a Belgium named Pascal Debrouwer and a Portugese Joao Garcia. The first one was beyond help. The Portugese ended up with frostbites which in consequence were the reason for an amputation of his fingers both hands and feet and a loss of nose. And somehow I managed without any injuries. I believe my determination and psychical drive helped me and I regard those features as very important. It was a shock for me when as a result of an examination made in Cardio-surgery Centre in Zabrze it turned out that my heart's efficiency was 250% higher from an average man of my age. But I must admit that in spite of all this, I was always lucky. And I hope to keep it that way.
BARTEK ANDRZEJEWSKI: I would like to ask you about such summits as Kanjenjunga, Makalu, Manaslu and Dhaulagiri. These monsters are lacking should you wish to record an ascent to all the eight-thousanders. Are you planning on climbing them someday?
RYSZARD PAWŁOWSKI: I have never been at the face of Kanjenjunga and would love to get there someday. As far the other summits I think I still may have a chance. For example in 1991 Krzysztof Wielicki and I participated in the winter Makalu expedition, but did not succeed. But what I would like to say is that I have abandoned the concept of collecting the crown of the Earth, or the Himalayas and Karakoram a long time ago, mainly because it is hardly a measurable achievement. Let's say someone reaches the summit in alpine style and that is to be compared to an ascent made in an oxygen mask, using fixed ropes, supported by the Sherpas. This race is beyond comparisons and though it makes no sense to me, there are even people who cheat. I would also not make a decision to conquer all the summits consecutively using my own money. In 1994 we had a plan to collect the crown of Earth in a single year, but did not manage to gather enough funding for it. Currently, apart from my personal projects, it is clear to me that I go there to support myself and my family. I appreciate the opportunity to work with interesting people in surroundings that are interesting just as well and I intend to carry on with that. I also have a chance to explore my love for photography and filming and these are the things I will be able to do for many years to come.

Rebel Machines were all painted using Acrylic Enamel. This was a sturdy paint that was in my opinion the equal or superior to Base Clear popular today. (early 21st Century) but has been replaced in Canada by water based paints to eliminate Volatile Organic Compound emissions during the manufacturing and application process as well as while the applied paint off gasses. Off gassing usually takes about 2 months with oil based paints and is extremely toxic.
Do not try to match the colours you see on your screen. You have to go by the numbers.

Nerf Transparent Maverick in Singapore!
Retail price @ SGD$26.90.
18 comments:
I thought you were the first to get these things over there. Is that not true, you had the long strike WAY before us here in the US.ReplyDelete
Yup, Transparent Mavericks were already available in Singapore since 3rd quarter 2009. They were sold out after a short while though.
My post is just to indicate that they have been re-stocked again at dept stores. :)
Oh, well that makes sense. I don't see 'em much here either. I thought you meant that this is the first time they've arrived in Singapore.ReplyDelete
When will these be available in the states? I'm guessing in about a month or two...ReplyDelete
When can you get them in Canada? And if you can't then can you get them for me? I'll be more then happy to pay a little extra for it(+ shipping and handling.ReplyDelete
Are these any harder to modify than a regular maverick?ReplyDelete
Well, the Transparent Maverick is now part of the upcoming Clear Blaster range, so i guess the blasters should be avaliable in stores everywhere over the next few months.
Yup, as part of the Clear Blaster range, the Transparent Maverick should be avaliable at your local stores very soon... along with the Transparent Recons, Deploys, Raiders and Nite Finders.
As for modding, the Transparent Mavericks are essentially the same as the normal Mavericks.
Thanks Sg Nerf! One more question. Have you done the mod to the maverick so the barrel flips out farther? If so, does the barrel still rotate when you pull the trigger? Thanks so much!ReplyDelete
they are availeble in canada at walmart. for 15$ReplyDelete
Yup, the Maverick "full flip-out" mod is basically just removing a small plastic nub from the casing. It doesn't affect the barrel rotation operation or mechanism.
Can you post a mod of the full flip out mod on the Mod Works blog? You always do the best write-ups!ReplyDelete
Well, its a very simple mod actually.
Just pop out the Maverick barrel and note the small plastic nubs that block the barrel from flipping outwards fully, then just cut or trim them flat. :)
Help!!! My nerf maverick is broken. I pull back the cocking thingy, it seems to cock, but when i begin to push it back somthing slips out of place inside so it won't cock! Everyting inside looks fine. I'm stumped.ReplyDelete
I'll open it up again and check what you said! Thanks for the help!ReplyDelete
Is there any physical difference between the gamestop/walmart release of this and the new clear series release?ReplyDelete
Reginald L. Seay Jr. aka Rolento13,ReplyDelete
The Transparent Mavericks have a slightly more matt look to their casings, while the Clear Series Mavericks have a clearer look to their casing.
Otherwise, both blaster versions work the same.
Actually went to Target today to look at the Clear Series Maverick. I noticed the easiest way to spot the Clear Series reprint. The right side of the slide has a Caution box on the opposite side of the Nerf Logo. On the original release, the caution box was completely orange with raised letters, on the new clear series, it's just clear with raised letters painted black!ReplyDelete

by Ron Livesay
In the day and age in which we live, it is easy to ask why God puts up with all the sin and foolishness of the human race. Why does he not just put a stop to it all and judge the sinfulness of man? In contrast to some who believe the only attribute of God is love, we know that God is also a God of justice, holiness, righteousness, and that He will judge sin. Nevertheless, we still need to remember that, while there is much in the world that is abominable to God, He is a God of great love. He loves us beyond all human understanding. Human love is little more than a shadow of His love for us.
How much does God love us? John 3:16 uses one small word to express an infinite love. That word is "so." "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." This small word tells us that He loves us "in such a way" that He gave everything for us. God the Father gave His only Son so that we might live. God the Son gave up the glories of heaven to become a man and die the death of a criminal for us. "Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross." (Philippians 2:5-8, NASB)
There are those who actually express the idea that God somehow owes us something. "If God will show me He loves me, then I will believe in Him," they say. Such thinking totally ignores the fact that He has already done more than enough to show us He loves us. How much more could possibly be necessary to prove His love? How dare we expect Him to do more? He has taken us from the depths of sin and condemnation to the heights of being His children. "And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus, in order that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." (Ephesians 2:1-7, NASB)
The amazing thing about the love of God is that He loves those who hate Him. He loves those who are His enemies. He loves the unlovely. He loves those who disobey Him. He loves the ungodly. He loves sinners. This love defies all human logic and human comprehension. "For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:6-8, NASB)
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell;
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled,
And pardoned from his sin.
O love of God, how rich and pure!
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure
The saints' and angels' song.
When years of time shall pass away,
When years of time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
When men, who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call,
God's love so sure, shall still endure,
All measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam's race—
The saints' and angels' song.
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above,
Would drain the ocean dry.
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.
"The Love of God"
Frederick M. Lehman, 1917

Geeky poetry March 17, 2011Posted by mareserinitatis in engineering, math, writing.
Tags: haiku, high Q, orthogonal functions
Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone!
Yes, I'm wearing green.
In addition, I've got a bunch on my plate, so you'll have to settle for some bad poetry. A couple of you saw these the other day on Twitter. Feel free to add your own.
I wanted high Q.
My resistance is too high.
Instead have haiku.
Orthogonal functions
Make engineering so fun
But scare the undergrads.

2017 Honda HRV Engine, review, news
In the previous few years Honda proved to the world that they`re capable to create various categories of vehicles, among them SUVs as well. One of their best is definitely HRV which is smallest from their SUV lineup. With announcement of new 2017 Honda HRV we can see that the customers all around the worlds are more than pleased with that. Honda`s main focus for new HRV will be to make it stronger than before and that is definitely something that will make it even more popular than before. Honda knows that previous generation of HRV was extra popular in the Europe but they want to make him attractive on the US market as well. Let`s see can they, can HRV do it.
2017 Honda HRV Exterior and Interior
Honda won`t make some drastic changes on this new HRV because they want the customers to find something familiar on new model. Definitely one thing that is different is that now, new 2017 Honda HRV will look tougher and more aggressive than before keeping it classy as well. We can see that some details are restyled, starting from the grille and headlights on the front to the taillights on the back. Headlights are sharper now and they`ll use better technology to make visibility better while they try to reduce energy wasting which is extra important in today's times when customers wants to be "greener". Because of that, Honda will try to make it with more lightweight materials so he can appear with the reduced fuel consumption which can attract some new customers. Honda will give him larger set of wheels, we have heard that now he`s going to be placed on 18.0-inch wheels which can make him look nicer than before.
First thing that you`re going to notice inside new 2017 Honda HRV is that he`s going to have new seats design which will help him attract more customers because now, they`re designed with extra attention to the ergonomic support they can provide, of course, keeping them made from finest materials as well. Functionality is definitely one more thing where 2017 Honda HRV must pay attention to. Instrument board of new 2017 Honda HRV will definitely receive some new buttons and larger touchscreen which will make the passengers and the driver control all of the functions easier than before. We know that Honda will try to make the balance between the safety and entertainment functions they're going to install in new HRV to be part of their infotainment system. We have heard that there`s going to be functions such as: cruise control, parking assistant, rear view camera, hill assist, emergency braking system, satellite radio, new navigation system, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, Internet connection, more speakers and so many others which can make new 2017 Honda HRV closer to the people.
2017 Honda HRV Engine
So far, Honda haven`t released many reliable information`s about the engine unit which new 2017 Honda HRV could use but we`ve made it to find out something new thanks to our reliable sources close to the Honda`s factory. We`ve heard that new 2017 Honda HRV could use 1.8-liter 4-cylinder which is able to supply this SUV with 138 horsepower and which can give him torque amount of 127 lb/ft. CVT and 6-speed automatic transmission system will be mated to this engine and you can choose what you want from these two. As every true SUV, this can have its power transferred to every one of his 4 wheels.
2017 Honda HRV Price and Release Date
Starting price for new 2017 Honda HRV could be around $50.000 or slightly under that price but surely not $48.000 which can make him among the most luxury SUVs on the 2017 year market. His released date still isn`t precise but we assume it`s going to be somewhere around the spring or March of 2017.

I love petroglyphs. Especially the ones that are clearly "about" something, though what that is remains oblique to us.
I'm curious what would happen if the Great Basin Curvillinear Abstract style came "alive" through generative means.
Just finished section 2. I think read the Wikipedia articles on Fluid Interfaces and Method Chaining.
Next we get to DRAW!
Having spent a long time with section 3, I've now generated this (and infinite other color-variations):
This class is awesome! Thanks Josh, for the inspiration. Your Mongo image, by the way, is a Tibetan Buddhist "double dorje," or thunder-bolt scepter, a common ritual implement in that religion.
With the HImage section, I tweaked the code and threw this together. FUN!
With my more complex petroglyph images, though the result got too messy. Here's an image where they're randomly placed (note: I constrained the random placements to be anywhere inside 100 from the edge of the space).
To avoid the visually confusing overlap of partly unfilled images, I instead coded a series of if-else statements so that each d1, d2, etc would be given a set location at the center and four corners. (I sent this image to my dad for his birthday):
I'm curious if you have a preference between these last two images? Random locations (and 12 instances), or fixed locations for just 5 instances?
More petroglyphs. These use a palette pulled from a photo of the Mojave sky at dusk.
I thought an old drawing of a Bwa serpent head mask might work. Grid layout allowed me to see all the color variations easily. Rotating each asset allowed more to fit without overlapping. This palette is from an Oregon coast photo.
The same masks, randomly placed/rotated/sized.
I found I like the random effect of doing an image trace on a drawing, then removing the outlines so only the fill shapes remain. These are groups of 5 Chinese bats.
Drawing is of a sycamore seedpod. I was experimenting here with different methods of generating palettes. I found pulling colors from photos by hand resulted in a brighter palette, while doing it with a tool results in a subltler harmony. Here, I combined the second with the cranberry accent I pulled by hand in the firts.
These letter forms are from the ancient Tibetan kingdom of Zhang Zhung. The big one is om. The others are ram, yam, kham and srum. You can get the font from the BabelStone blog, an excellent site if you like obscure alphabets.
This is a screen shot of an iPhoto album. I was playing with a new palette and seeing how it looked with all the different assets I've created so far.

Grammarly Review ~ Do You Really Need This Grammar Checker?
As being humans, we make lots of flaws. Some we do mistakenly and others intentionally.
When writing an English article, as a non-native English speaker, I make lots of grammatical mistakes. As my improper grammar, I couldn't count the number of sales I lost.
To be honest, I don't know too much complex English words, vocabulary, synonyms, ambiguous words and, of course, some grammar rules too.
That's why as a non-native English speaker, I thought to use a few English grammar checker tools.
I have previously used tons of online grammar tools. Reverso grammar checker, GramMark, spellchecker, GingerSoftware are some of those free online grammar checker tools I have used in the past.
But, one day when I was searching the Internet for a complete proofreading software, I found one article that is talking about a tool called Grammarly. In fact, that piece was a Grammarly review.
I was inspired reading that article. Therefore, I tried Grammarly's free version first to know what I can do with Grammarly and is Grammarly worth it.
Published few 5000+ words longer blog posts without worrying too much about my silly grammar errors.
It improved my English writing skills, wordiness and taught some important rules in Grammar. Not only that I learned how some letters/words should be placed in proper situations; how to evoke the emotions and persuade readers to buy something from me.
I was lucky enough to try Grammarly Pro version free.
Today I am going to review Grammarly proofreader and show you how this powerful tool can improve your writing skills and correct grammatical mistakes instantly.
Grammarly Review: Features, benefits, Pros, Cons, and prices
What is Grammarly? And Who Use it?
Grammarly is a writing enhancement platform developed by Grammarly, INC. Max Lytvyn and Alex Shevchenko founded Grammarly, Inc in 2009.
Since that day, millions of people all around the world used Grammarly grammar checker to fix article writing errors.
Currently, more than 4 million people get the help of Grammarly tools to check and correct various errors in their essays, dissertations, letters, reports, business questionnaires, blog posts and white papers.
Among those four million people, teachers, students, university lectures, bloggers, marketers, freelance writers and businessmen get an important part.
Key Features of Grammarly
As a dedicated tool for writing purposes, this tool supplements different sides of writing such as spell check, grammar check, vocabulary enhancement, proper wording, punctuation check and plagiarism check. Also, Grammarly provides several tools and plugins to find and correct grammar errors you made in everywhere.
So here are a few key features I found that standout Grammarly from other online grammar checker tools.
#1: Check Grammatical Errors of Any Type of Article
There are two main types of English language as we refer. They are 'Spoken English' and 'Written English'. In some cases, you might use some sentences that are used in spoken language.
But, for some articles such as legal letters, it's not good to use words that are used in spoken language.
Grammarly has gone too far from spoken and written languages. It supports over 30 different English writing styles!
These document types break down into six main categories. They are,
- Academic
- Business
- Technical
- Medical
- Creative
- Causal
As you see in the screenshot below, blog posts and articles put into the Business category. You just need to do is select the correct form of the article you want to check grammatical mistakes and give the command to find and fix them.
At first I didn't find this feature as useful. But, once I started checking grammatical errors and other causal errors, I found this feature is very helpful.
#2: The incentive and distraction-free interface
After you logged into your account, you can see a similar interface like this.
Unlike other grammar check tools, Grammarly has its unique interface that motivates you to write quality articles.
You can start writing your article or copy & paste or upload your documents to "online Editor".
One thing I most like is its distraction-free writing interface. Within this tool, you can write articles and blog posts seamlessly. Grammarly will save every word you type occasionally, so you don't miss or lose any word mistakenly.
If there is an internet connection error, Grammarly Editor will automatically notify you about that.
This tool is very useful if you travel often. As this tool work on both desktop and mobile devices, you will also get a huge benefit out of it.
#3: Ability to turn on and off each setting
Another benefit you'd receive by using this proofreading tool.
Let's say you don't want get recommendations for "Writing Styles". So you can easily turn off this feature.
Also, if you want a feature to turn on anytime, you are just one-click-away to enable it.
Grammarly is a flexible grammar checker tool. That's why you can control such important things at once.
#4: Make text corrections with one simple click
Many of online punctuation and grammar checker tools I have used don't specify and define the reasons why the particular letter or word is incorrect. They just simply add a red, blue and a green underline for each grammatical, spelling and punctuation errors.
But, Grammarly provides the reasons why the particular letter, word or sentence is wrong.
Check this image for an example.
And if you want to know more about this error, you can click "more" link and learn about the particular grammar rule.
In fact, Grammarly is not just a proofreader, but also an online English teaching tool too!
If you don't want any particular word to regard as a wrong word, you can easily add them to the library. This function is helpful in many occasions such as when you want to a particular noun to regard as a correct word.
For an example, many spelling checker tools detect my name "Chamal Priyadarshana" and my blog "ProBlogTricks" as incorrect words. But, I know they are correct, as my English library!
In case, if you are confident that the particular sentence is error-free, you can simply ignore the alert.
As the simplicity of grammar checking, it won't take more than five or ten minutes to fix grammar, spelling and punctuation errors of a 4000 words article.
#5: Powerful Plagiarism checker tool
If you asked me one question why I love so much for this proofreading tool, I can certainly say that it is because this powerful plagiarism checker tool.
The content uniqueness or originality of content is one of the most important factors you have to consider when publishing an article on the Internet.
If information is not unique, we will only see stolen content everywhere on the internet, right? Same articles, same songs, same picture… The list goes on…
When is the last day you saw a similar article twice ranking higher on SERP on two separate domains?
Probably 7-10 years ago?
In fact, one reason why Google started Panda update is to remove thin, duplicate content from SERPs. Today, duplicate content is a big reason why Google panda punishes websites.
With the Grammarly plagiarism checker, you can easily find the originality of your articles.
For an example, check out the screenshot below. A few days ago, I wrote and published an article about best online grammar and punctuation checker tools. I checked the grammar, punctuation errors, and, of course, the plagiarism with Grammarly when I first wrote the article. That day my article was a 98% unique article. (Just about 2% content unoriginality ratio) Despite of some quoted texts, all the content of that article was 100% original, written by me.
But, Today, I opened that article and checked for plagiarism.
Can you guess what the plagiarism score is?
It is 97%!
Here is the proof.
AS you see, Grammaly plagiarism checker tool is so powerful. The amazing thing is that the post I published is only a few days old. That means Grammarly plagiarism checker checks for unique and duplicate content in every day. It is a similar tool to SEMrush. SEMrush also updates its database on a daily basis.
You just not only see the percentage of article unoriginality, but also the source(s) where the similar content located.
As I expected, I could see the original article URL: https://www.pitiya.com/2015/05/online-grammar-checker-and-punctuation-checker-tools.html
Plagiarism tool of Grammarly is really useful, especially for bloggers, content marketers and freelance writers. This tool also can be used to find content thieves.
Pro tip: Copy some text from one of your blog articles and check for plagiarism. If you found one or more duplicate references, you can contact the webmaster and request to remove duplicate content. If they don't reply you back, you can email again after a week. Even if you don't receive a response, you can simply go to this page and put a DMCA complaint.
#6: Grammarly is Everywhere

#7: Enhance your English Vocabulary
As a non-English native speaker, I always try to learn new English words. Add more words to my English vocabulary.
If you use Grammarly as your vocabulary builder, then you do not need to worry about learning new words, ambiguous words and meanings of complex words.
In fact, I didn't think that I can improve English vocabulary with Grammarly.
When I was reading a thread on a forum, I found a word that I am not familiar with. The unknown word is "Cardio".
I use a program to find the meaning of English words (English-Sinhala translator). So, I double-clicked the unknown word to copy it.
Here's what I saw. I was very quick to capture it for you 😉
After that popup, I was very curious to know about this vocabulary tool. So, I double-clicked another word randomly.
Here's what I saw…
… Improving English vocabulary is so each with Grammarly.
Unlike 10-20 years ago, you don't need to use big books to learn English vocabulary. Grammarly will help you to improve your English vocabulary. Within a short period of time, I learned lots of things. So, you too will definitely.
Grammarly Cost
When selecting any product to use, the price tag is really important.
Luckily, if you are going to use Grammarly, there are two main categories you can choose from.
- Free plan
- Premium plan
If you selected the free plan, you can use online Editor, browser extensions and Microsoft Office Addin proofread your articles. But, some features of your account will be limited. You won't get the access to plagiarism checker, vocabulary Enhancement and professional proofreader to find and fix over 250 types of errors.
If you selected the premium plan, you will get the unlimited access to use all the existing tools and new features Grammarly introduce in future.
Here's the pricing table of Grammarly grammar checker.
Pros and Cons
Every tool is not 100% perfect. Here are the Pros and Cons I found myself.
As a grammar checker tool, Grammarly provides many tools for every type of needs in writing. I have listed some benefits that I found very useful above. Here are several Pros of Grammarly.
- Better than Microsoft Word: I have written hundreds of articles on Microsoft Word. But, it only fixes a few grammatical errors. But, Grammarly can fix over 250 types of errors on any article you type. It's much better than MS Word.
- Availability: As I explained above, you can proofread any article you write anywhere with Grammarly. From Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Tumblr to WordPress, Blogger and from Google Adwords to web Forums and communities, Grammarly is with you, to help improve your English vocabulary and grammar issues.
- Check for copied content: This is my favorite tool of Grammarly. As I a blogger, I know the importance of uniqueness. Grammarly has indexed over 8 billion web pages. And check for new content in every day.
- Grammarly Keyboard app: Now you can use Grammarly keyword app on your Android and iOS phones. You can download Grammarly mobile app (Keyboard) to your Android phone on Google Play Store to your Apple device from Apple App Store. Grammarly keyboard app will auto-correct sentence, spelling and grammatical errors. So, you're safe which device you used!
As used Grammarly for over six months, I found there are not so many disadvantages you will receive by using this tool. But, despite of its functionality, there are a few considerable cons of Grammarly you may encounter when using it.
- Undo function is disabled in MS Word: One big reason why we use any proofreader tool is to fix our grammatical mistakes. If you enabled the Grammarly Add-in in MS Word to check grammar, undoing is disabled by default.
- Auto-Save function is disabled in MS Word: Auto saving is another important function of MS Word we all love. But, if you enabled Grammarly Add-in, your content won't save automatically. So you have to manually save the article clicking the 'Save' button or pressing CTRL + S keyboard shortcut keys.
- Pricing: Grammarly offers both free and premium plans. To get more features and tools, you have to upgrade premium plan. Grammarly premium has three billing options: Monthly, Quarterly, and Yearly. If you are on a budget, choosing the monthly billing plan could be more disadvantageous considering other options.
I have used tens of online and offline grammar checker tools in the past. But, the last tool that stopped me overthinking my silly grammar mistakes is Grammarly. Before that I was using GinerSoftware. (Ginger vs Grammarly)
The best thing about Grammarly is that not only it corrects the errors in your articles, but also explains the reasons why your grammar is incorrect and gives a clear explanation using examples and linking to reliable references such as Wikipedia.
If you want to improve your writing skills, check for plagiarism and find the meanings of complex, unknown words, I recommend you to use its free version at least.
Do you already use Grammarly to make error-free articles? If so, share your personal experience with me and others to know more about it.

The Idea ORTE – MEKOMOT
Contemporary compositions and traditional Jewish chants – A concert tour through former and new synagogues in Germany and Poland with new compositions by Amit Gilutz, Bnaya Halperin-Kaddari, Eres Holz, Sarah Nemtsov and Amir Shpilman
»Especially in smaller towns in Germany there are numerous former synagogues. They have endured the night of November 9th, 1938, for different reasons, being built close by neighboring houses, because the local Jews had already left, or other reasons. At times, these are impressive buildings, with a notable – dark or bright – history. After World War II, the synagogues were turned into depots, storages, restaurants or dwellings. However, in many places initiatives started to campaign for a more appropriate use of these buildings. It is due to this commitment that many of these former synagogues – that where diverted from their original purpose and often decaying – are now museums and meeting places. They are living reminders of the history of the respective synagogue and the local Jewry. Still, these buildings aren't used for their actual purpose. No services are helt. They are no centres of a Jewish community, as only few or no Jews live in these smaller places. The synagogues are places of remembrance.
From this backdrop, the idea of Orte—Mekomot was born: It intends to bring new life into the old buildings, Jewish life in the form of sound. Music is a central element of Jewish worship. Traditional Jewish chants and prayer, performed by a Jewish cantor (chasan), are weaved together with new contemporary compositions written by young Jewish composers who live in Germany.
The idea came to me during the Chanukka celebrations in 2013. Several (temporal) layers intertwined here for me: the history of the temple in Jerusalem, destroyed twice; Jewish life in mediaeval Europe and the Jewish enlightment (Haskalah) in 18th century; the often evoked German-Jewish symbiosis; and the more recent history of synagogues in West and East Europe in 20th and 21st century. This timeline has not only seen decay but also positive strength.
The destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE by the Roman Empire caused the diaspora and also the ban of instrumental music from divine service (that was no Temple service anymore). All diaspora synagogues everywhere are oriented towards Jerusalem. In Europe therefore, the Thora ark are at the eastern wall of the building. Therefore also all abandoned synagogues face east.
The selection of instruments for Orte—Mekomot stretches similarly largely through time: instruments that are mentioned in the Bible are translated into contemporary instruments. The modern instruments symbolise the antique ones: flute – chalil (a wind instrument), trumpet – chazozra (a silver or copper natural trumpet), harp – nevel (a kind of harp, stringed instrument picked with fingers), (electric) guitar – kinor (a kind of lute or lyre, instrument of king David, played with a plectrum), oboe – ugav (similar to a shawm), drum set – tov and others (drum) and zelzelim (cymbal). There is no account of the Biblical instruments, only vague ideas of how they and the music of the temple might have sounded. Only one archaic instrument endured since biblical times until today: the shofar (ram's horn). It is still played in the synagoges at certain Jewish holidays. The shofar joins the modern instruments from the times before the destruction of the temple.
The five new pieces by Bnaya Halperin-Kaddari, Amit Gilutz, Eres Holz, Amir Shpilman and myself, Sarah Nemtsov, integrate the instrumental ensemble; the traditional Jewish chats though are a capella. Thus the traditional chants create links and distance at the same time, a space between the contemporary compositions. A multi-relational musical constellation emerges from the different parts coming together. A comprehensive structure is given by the Minchah, the afternoon prayer. Interestingly, these traditional chants often sound as much archaic as modern, and might seem to some listeners as exotic as contemporary music. A chance for a twofold discovery!
Another question of great importance for me was whether it was possible to create – today in globalised 21st century – a kind of new liturgy, modern Jewish music as a collective prayer, which is doubting, both secular and religious, recent and aware of the history, through the subjective eye of the composer, of whom every single one has their own aesthetic profile. Music, consciously dealing with the past, but as a positive statement for the future.
Here we are. With a clear sign of tolerance of openness towards other cultures. Ich hope, this project can contribute to a mutual understanding as well as to transcultural communication, and that it will enrich different regional and European landscapes.«

The skewer is like a pin, but the other way around. That is, you attack a valuable enemy piece which once moved allows another lesser valued piece be taken.
Or put by professionals:
"The Skewer is a piercing attack which menaces two hostile pieces placed on the same line. As the piece directly attacked moves away, the piece behind it is transfixed on the skewer".Chernev and Reinfeld
In the diagram below we see that the black king is in check must move allowing his queen to be taken.
In the next position the queen is attacked and unless black wants to lose his most powerful piece must be moved. Once the queen is moved the black knight can be captured.
Note: if the black queen could move to a square where she defended the knight the skewer would be pointless.
In the next example the black bishop skewers one rook to another. True the rook can move to protect its partner, but as a bishop (worth 3) is a lower value than the rook (worth 5) there is no way white can escape the loss of material.
Note: When rooks line up on a diagonal like this they are easy prey for a bishop!
The final diagram is from Trotter, Wilson Durham Congress 2006. Black has ben advancing his passed a-pawn and white desperate to stop the pawn plays 53.Ke2. Black follows with 53...Rh1
Did you spot that rook takes pawn allows Black 54... Rh2+ and a skewer on King and rook.
Note: This is an excellent promotion trick, remember it and use it.
Skewers can be deadly!!

Stepps side Cambria AFC produced another defensive masterclass to upset the odds and win the West of Scotland Amateur Cup for the first time.
The Caledonian League Division 1B outfit weren't fazed by their underdogs tag as they added Scottish Amateur Cup finalists Southside to their notable list of scalps.
Those victims included Southside's Scottish Cup final opponents, and reigning national cup holders, Colville Park in the semi-finals.
Some of the 525 crowd at the SuperSeal Stadium in Hamilton had yet to take their seats when Southside carved out the first chance.
Shane Jackson whipped a dangerous ball across the face of the goal but neither Paul McMenamin or Ryan Coll could connect from close range.
Although Southside were seeing more of the ball, Cambria were creating opportunities on the break with Nicky Irvine seeing his point-blank header well saved by Lee Hollis before Iain McMillan directed his header wide.
The match remained goalless at the break, but just before the hour mark Cambria got what proved to be the winner.
Steven Moore's curling cross was glanced by Jonny Gordon glanced towards the back post where Iain McMillan reacted quickest and coolly slotted the ball across Hollis into the net.
As the match wore on Southside threw men forward but couldn't find a way past the Cambria defence and the Stepps side held on to claim a memorable victory and take home the trophy.

Haven't popped since January
I miss it. I gained weight. I'm smoking more to substitute it. But I'm wasting a lot of time. Should I get back on it? Needed to lose weight anyways. I could just start eating better and exercising more. I do have time to that right now. I'm "in between jobs" selling insurance, edibles, phone parts. Not enough income. Mortgage too high. Haven't paid in almost a year!?!? Time flies and it'll continue to fly. Yesterday I was backstage on The Price is Right and met: If only I had popped I coulda shoulda got more social and hang out with her at the restaurant afterwards but got stuck hanging out with stage manager who got me in. Oh well. Motivation to motivate and get these hooooooooooze wake up errybody no more sleeping in bed...!!!

Carpal Tunnel Muscle Testing
Dr. Terry Zachary developer of the Handmaster Plus. One of the main reasons we developed the product was to combat and prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. So today, we are going to talk about carpal tunnel syndrome The first thing is what is it and very simply, it is easy to look up on the internet. But I will tell you that the carpal tunnel syndrome is. the carpal tunnel, excuse me, is just distal to your wrist. So if you follow it up a little bit, if you were to put the thumb.
And the finger together where the crease, where the cleavage is, is basically the carpal tunnel. It's now. it is made of from the bones of the wrist form its base and the top of it is formed by a legum that comes across. Okay So that is the carpal tunnel itself. The space within that is the carpal tunnel. It is about as big as the thick index finger. Okay. Carpal tunnel syndrome very simply then is any situation or condition that would compromise the space of the carpal tunnel.
Through the carpal tunnel, there is nine 9 flexor tendons and also the median nerve. So anytime the space of the carpal tunnel is compromised, that is when they can put pressure on the median nerve and that is what carpal tunnel syndrome is. Okay The main situation is that when we see compromising the tunnel itself. It is when the tunnel itself collapses. With most common things you see is anybody uses their hands especially in small motions surgeons are very common dental office is very common computer is very common.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Symptoms Exercises Treatment Prevention
working a mouse very very common bartenders are very common beauticians anything that work with crafts but it can be sports music as well, is very very common to see it. So what we see is anytime we are flexing the muscles of the hand and that is part of our daily routine, you can just see the carpal tunnel collapses itself. So in those situations, we want to oppose that by strengthening the muscles that open the hand. And that is what the Handmaster Plus exercise does. The second situation you see where carpal tunnel is common is when there is poor blood.
Flow and the primary example is in pregnant women. So the other. What we want to contribute to try to combat or prevent carpal tunnel syndrome is make sure that we are taking the hands through its full range of motion, which I will show you that right now. So this is the Handmaster Plus very easy to get a hold of all this information at the end of this tutorial. What we have the people do is to put it on their thumbs and fingers just like this to keep the wrist straight and you are going to just have one exercise.
squeeze against the hand, open and spread against the cord. So it is just one continuous exercise. When I squeeze here, I strengthen the nine 9 muscles that close the hand. When I open and spread, I strengthen the nine 9 muscles that open and spread the hand. These muscles are super important when it comes to carpal tunnel syndrome because as you can see, when I strengthen these muscles, that carpal tunnel is nice and wide. Okay So I am going to oppose the things that I have been doing during the day by strengthening.
The extensor tendons. So I just have the person anybody that is in the job where it is red flag or a potential for a carpal tunnel syndrome, which I would say computer work, production line, clerks, checkout counter, dental offices, surgeons, hairdressers, bartenders any work where the carpal tunnels, where regular flexing of the finger of the hands is common, that is using carpal tunnel. So what we do and it is where you. Well, to train those people to prepare them for their activities so they can do it efficiently but also not working to injury it is where.
You just help them do this continuous exercise. It only takes a couple of minutes a day and you are going to see that we start to train the muscles that open the hand. We also, as we do this because we take the hand through its full natural range of motion, we are going to stimulate maximum blood flow, and that is another thing. You can want blood flow through that carpal tunnel and that is going to make sure that we. the pressure within that tunnel does not maximize and cause the pressure on that medial nerve.
So the Handmaster Plus is available through our website doczac, doczac it is available through our distributors or brand partners as well. Or you can also buy it online. I do recommend it highly for anybody that works in a profession like we have talked about whether it is a lot of repetitive flexion or repetitive gripping. If you have an office that has a lot of repetitive gripping, for example a dentist office, you can contact us. We are very good about supplying people with product for a little less price if you.

Interview with Grigor Amalyan, General Director of "Television and Radio Transmission Network of Armenia" CJSC
– Mr. Amalyan we have less than one year for switching from analogue to digital broadcasting. Where are we now?
– We actually already have our partners selected, who clearly assumed their share of responsibilities or duties in the establishment of the general system – supply of devices, system equipment, configuration, installation, etc. We have a clear action plan and have already performed much work.
– You mean the action plan set by the Government?
– The action plan set by the Government contains node points, but there are also detailed plans that are fixed in two contracts since the government decree cannot reflect non-essential, non-complex landmarks. In fact, the progress is in line with the schedules indicated in different contracts and with different partners. The provision of devices, equipment is already in progress.
– Since when?
– It has been in steady progress for more than a month and I am pleased to note that at this point there are no lags or omissions. Sometimes we have some technical problems related to the general supply process; for instance, in large stock of equipment there might be damaged packages, etc., but they are not significant and there is no situation that is not retrievable or, let's say, the elimination of defects is not guaranteed. In fact, most of the infrastructure preparation activities, adjustment of building, adjustment of construction to our technical requirements, purchase of land for our stations, legalization, installation of towers and other activities have already been done. At this moment technically we have no concern in terms of deviating from the main scheduled handover of the system. We can confidently say that by late October we will have digital broadcasting in Yerevan, Gyumri and will be able to successively implement it also in several marzes during the same period.

Providing an engaging and flexible working environment within the creative community of Fitzrovia, 1 Fitzroy Place is a new business hub rooted in one of the most vibrant parts of London. An original and sensitive design by leading architects Sheppard Robson ties the building to Fitzrovia with its use of sophisticated and elegant materials and detailing, while bringing the allure of a hotel-style lobby to its welcoming reception area. A dramatic central atrium with wall hugging, glass-fronted lifts brings light deep into the heart of the building while creating a memorable focal point.
1 Fitzroy Place establishes itself as a distinctive new address facing Fitzrovia's Mortimer Street with its warm and inviting lobby, complete with a fireplace and booth-style seating areas for waiting clients and more informal meetings. Combining rich textures and materials, the ground floor is characterised by the evocative style one might expect of a contemporary boutique hotel or a private art gallery, while a statement spiral steel staircase connects the ground and lower ground floors.
Office spaces throughout the eight storey building offer flexible environments, designed with sustainability at its heart and blessed with a healthy level of natural daylight, that can be moulded to many different working patterns with ease, including meeting spaces. A roof terrace on floors six and eight provides an opportunity for summer break out space in the fresh air, while all levels connect with views and vistas of Fitzrovia or the new landscaped square at the centre of the Fitzroy Place development.

We went to the Ventura Pier one day while in California. I always love to go and see the ocean. We walked along the pier to see what people were catching. We got to see someone pull up a crab trap full of crabs. The girls thought that was cool because dad and grandma picked one up. It was also Harrison's first trip to the beach st 3 months. There was a man walking around holding a big parrot and he let the girls hold it on their arm. Emily passed in that but Abby and Claire did it. I hope it is not too long before we are back again. Summer ie definitely the best time to go to the beach!!

23 Jul Heart to Heart with God: A Journey Towards Acceptance Day 50
365 Days of Reflection Towards God's Love and Acceptance
~June 4, 2014-June 3, 2015~
Day 50-West Palm Beach, Florida:
How many times have you heard someone announce that today was the luckiest day of my life or you are the luckiest person I have ever met? When you find money or you miss hitting someone by inches driving on the interstate, when someone stops unexpectedly in front of you, we may think that luck was the reason behind that extraordinary occurrence. These thoughts are actually the furthest from the truth, but understandable due to the fact we do not "see" God in spite of Him being right in front of us.
The fact of the matter is that there is no such thing as luck. Sure, we know that something unexpected happened that came from an outside source to save us or helped us in our greatest moment of need in ways we physically cannot explain. However, we must come to the realization that the external source that caused that amazing event to occur in our life was God intervening. We have a have a Father in Heaven that is constantly looking out for us and also blessing us in ways we are not even aware of.
Having a lucky rabbits foot or wearing green if you are Irish, are only superstitions that do not have merit. So, how do we give God the credit for blessing us so profoundly? The first thing to do is recognize the presence of God in our lives. The second thing to do is to speak the prayers that we were taught by Jesus, especially thanking the Lord for all of the work he is doing in our lives. Lastly, we need to appreciate all of the good things occurring around us, realize that God is driving the train rather than luck, and that every event has a purpose with an unexpected outcome that we may or may not be aware of at this particular moment.
Reflection Day #50
Three takeaways towards your journey with God:
1. ___________________________________________

Nine Worlds Geekfest
|Nine Worlds Geekfest
|London area, UK
|fan convention
|general fandom
|Erich, Dan and Ludi
|Founding Date:
|August 2013
|Click here for related articles on Fanlore.
Nine Worlds Geekfest is a multi media, multi-genre residential pop culture convention held annually in or near London, UK. The first three were held near London Heathrow Airport, in different hotels, the 2016 and 2017 conventions in Hammersmith, London.
The focus is mainly on fans interacting with one another, although there are also celebrity guests, book signings and performances. Content is arranged in a number of themed tracks, including general topics such as fanfiction, fannish academia, cosplay and books, as well as tracks for specific fandoms.
The first Nine Worlds, in August 2013, was partially funded by a Kickstarter[1] which achieved more than double its funding goal.
The convention moved hotels once while staying near Heathrow, before moving to Hammersmith.
After a couple of years of growing, the 2016 con included a separate expo for the first time, rather than the previous included dealers' hall. This had a big vision, but was rumoured to have lost money and have very few guests who weren't at the main con.
Commitment to Diversity and Safety
One of the hallmarks of Nine Worlds is its commitment to making the convention as welcoming as possible for all attendees. Measures include a detailed anti-harrassment policy[2] and accessibility information[3], a communication preferences system[4] and participation in Con or Bust[5]. There are also dedicated tracks discussing Race and Culture, LGBTQ themes, and other aspects of diversity. Panellists and moderators are encouraged not to assume someone's gender without asking, and pronoun badges are provided to all attendees.
Cabaret and Disco
The Cabaret on Saturday night is fast becoming a key event. It has included music, dance performance, stand-up comedy, poetry, and in 2014 an on-stage proposal. It has a mixture of serious content and lighter entertainment. It is followed by the disco, with much geek-themed music.

Orion SRM displays following status information for storage array:
0 Unknown
1 Ok (green)
2 Down (red)
3 Warning (yellow)
How are these mapped from SMI-S returned values?
All status mappings are stored in templates (
C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\SRM\Templates). SMI-S values are mapped to SRM Orion, our status codes are:
0 Unknown
1 Ok (green)
2 Down (red)
3 Warning (yellow)
If we cannot get results for some reason (listed in my previous email), array goes "Unreachable".
To find mapping for specific array:
Open the template file in Notepad.
<PropertyMapping target="Status">.
ComponentMapping target= tells which component are you looking for.
Transform operation="switchAnyFromCollection".
<SwitchOutput value="#1">
<SwitchInput value="#2" />
<SwitchInput value="#32769" />
<SwitchInput value="#17" />
<SwitchInput value="#18" />
<SwitchInput value="#32772" />
SwitchInput is the value we receive from storage array,
SwitchOutput is the SRM Status code (listed at the beginning of my email). So that means SMIS statuses 2, 32769, 17, 18, 32772 will be mapped to "Ok" (green) in this case.
