Restaurants, chef emphasize sourcing local ingredients | Nation's Restaurant News
Locally sourcing ingredients is evolving from a niche market into the mainstream. Not sourcing any of your products locally will soon become a liability for your restaurant if it hasn't already. Rather than the bloated menus full of heat and eat items, the new generation of restaurant concepts are offering less selections, making everything from scratch, and buying as many ingredients as possible from within 150 miles of their location. Whether you are a bleeding heart activist, or a pro-business capitalist, sourcing items close to home just makes sense. You can pat yourself on the back for saving the environment, or pat yourself for saving the local economy. Your choice. Either way, the move to source foods locally is getting to be less and less optional.

Harvard study finds flouride lowers IQ | Reuters.com
A Harvard study published in a US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences journal, Environmental Health Perspectives, found a relation between lower IQ levels and flouridated water. The article title states a "cause/effect" scenario that can't really be determined from correlative evidence, (article authors are notorious for making the jump from "correlation" to "cause/effect") but the study does raise some serious questions. Other studies have suggested links between flouride and bone cancer.

50 ways employees steal from your bar or restaurant
I'm not sure where this list originally came from and I don't take credit for it myself. I didn't create. However, it is a great list of 50 ways employees can steal from your cash register or POS. As long as there is cash involved in transactions in the restaurant/food service industry, there will be theft. For every possible technique to prevent theft, there is another to get around that prevention method.
If you do suspect an employee of cash theft, one of the best techniques you can utilize to catch them is the mid-shift drawer countdown. This is an unannounced drawer switch in the middle of a shift. You or your manager take a new drawer, with change, to the register. You run a sales report on your point of sale system, or an "x" report (not a "z" report) if you are using a cash register. Switch out the drawers and count down the drawer the employee was using. Most employees who steal will keep their extra money in the cash drawer until the end of shift countdown or sometime close to it.
If you count down drawers together with the employee (which you should), they will try to keep track of how much extra is in the drawer in their head and pull the extra amount before the countdown. They are usually careful not to take so much as to potentially make the drawer short. This causes them to be long fairly often.
If you do not count down the drawers with the employees, they will not pull their extra cash until they count down their drawer at the end of the shift, and they are less likely to leave the drawer long every shift, but will still be long more often than an honest employee will.
In any case, NEVER allow employees to keep their tips in the drawer. This completely eliminates your opportunity to detect theft.
Another tool for reducing employee theft is cameras pointed at the till. Many camera systems will now interface with point of sale systems so you can see what an employee is ringing into a drawer while you are watching their cash handling. Having the cameras alone will keep many employees honest.
Another tip is to eliminate the "no sale" button, or require manager approval to use it. A no sale button makes it very easy for employees to collect money for drinks never rung in. You should also make sure there are no $0 priced items in your point of sale menu. Some poorly designed point of sale systems require you to create sales items for your modifiers, and can inadvertently cause you to have a lot of modifier buttons that can be "rung" in with $0 balances due, but still allowing the employee to settle the sale and open the drawer. If you have $0 menu items or a no sale button, use your sales by item reports to see how often they are used. Also use your transaction reports to see how many $0 transactions are settled. These are both good indicators of theft in your restaurant, bar or food service.
Take a look at the following 50 ways employees steam from your bar or restaurant and keep your eyes open in your own restaurant. An aware owner is one that doesn't get stolen from.
50 Ways to Steal from the Bar
- Short Ring – Under-ring the correct price of item and pocket the
difference. Common when employees have access to a "no sale" button or sale items with $0 prices that are used as modifiers in a point of sale system.

in on main register.
- Serve and collect while register is reading between shift
- Claim a phoney walk-out. Keep money received from

pockets cash from the sale.
- Short Pour – Pour less than shot to cover "give away" liquor

- Receiving kickbacks from liquor distributors.
- Charging customer regular prices, ringing happy hour prices.
- Complimentary cocktail or wine coupons from hotel rooms
sold by maids to bartender which can use in place of cash.
- Short-Changing Customers.
- Ringing food items on liquor key in order to cover high liquor
cost percentage.
- Giving free drinks to employees in exchange for higher tips.
- Not pouring liquor into blended drinks to cover high pour
- Duplicate imprinting of customers credit card charge slip.
- Claiming opening bank till was short.
- Z-ing out register tape early. Under-reporting of sales.
- Recording incorrect overrings and voids.
- Change a credit card amount after a customer leaves.
- Hitting "no sale" key to open register. Pulling money out later.
- Keep income from vending machines.
- Ringing items on another bartender or manager key.
- Bringing in a pair of work shoes, wearing boots. Put liquor
bottle in boots and walk out with it.
- Claiming fictitious Paid-Outs to customers for broken
malfunctioning vending machine. Keeping Cash.
- Re-using empty bottles to get new inventory out of storeroom
without suspicion.
- Pouring wine by the glass and ringing in a bottle sale. (the sum
of the glasses is more than the bottle price).
- Not ringing in cocktail server sales and splitting the money.
- Turning in only the amount of sales on Z-Report and keeping
any overages.
- Under pouring drinks by a sixth, keeping track, and pocketing
the cash for one drink every sixth drink.
- Using jiggers brought in from home that are smaller than
standard pour, with the same objective as above.
- Substituting a house brand for a premium brand (that usually
sells at a higher price), charging for the premium brand, and
pocketing the difference.
- Overcharging the number of drinks served to a group of
customers who are running up a tab to be paid later.
- Claiming a fictitious robbery.
- Re-pouring customer wine leftover in bottles (e.g., banquet
wine) to other customers by the glass.
- Claiming a fictitious walk-out.
- Free drinks to local merchants in exchange for merchandise.
- Making juice or coffee drinks with little or no liquor.
- Picking up excess customer change on bar.
- Carrying full bottles of liquor and beer to the dumpster with
the empties.

cash pocketed without ringing in.

with water and counting as full.
- Free drinks to customers in exchange for larger tips

This is happening to me today as well, it was working fine yesterday.
@lots-0-logs I finally managed to get it working, by first doing what you said, and then following what was said here in comment 10. After copying all the files over it didn't initially work, but then I noticed the edit saying to create a file and put some text in it, and when I restarted after that it worked. Thanks so much for the help!
@lots-0-logs so I came back to antergos after not using it for quite a while, and I was really hoping that this would have been integrated into the linux kernel by now, but my laptop doesn't seem to support wifi, only ethernet. Do you have any suggestions on how I can get this working? Still the same situation as in the first post. I've done a fair amount of googling around but couldn't really figure anything out and was hoping maybe you could help. Is there a package I have to install? What should I do?
In my laptop I have 3 hard drives, 2 500GB SSDs connected in RAID, and a 2TB HDD. I wanted to install Antergos on the second drive (2TB) but had some trouble doing so.
First of all, the automated installer just did not want to work. It kept failing at either creating the partitions or the file system. So, eventually I had to give up on that and make the partitions myself.
I created a number of partitions, a 250 MB partition for /boot/efi, a 250 MB partition for /boot (I wasn't sure if I needed separate paritions for the two, perhaps that was the problem?), a 16GB partition for / and an 80GB partition for /home. I installed, everything seemed like it was going fine.
After completing the install, I had to restart my computer and I was extremely satisfied. I finally got antergos to work! But I was a bit confused, in the GRUB menu there was no option for booting to Windows. I figured: must be something that I have to choose earlier because it's not on the same drive. So I tried restarting the computer and pressing F11 to go to the boot options. There were the options to boot from the network or to boot into Windows Boot Manager or Grub Bootloader. I tried multiple times, but no matter which option I picked, I would always boot into grub and there would only be the antergos option. I eventually ended up wiping both drives and reinstalling Windows. I wanted to try reinstalling antergos again before I restored all my Windows data and making sure it works, so that I don't have to be worried about it dying on me again. And so that I can verify that it works before setting up all my Windows data, only to find out that I have to kill my machine again.
Tl;dr When I install on a secondary hard drive I can only boot into antergos. How do I make it so that I can boot into both Windows and Antergos.
Thanks in advance for any help, and sorry for the long question, I just wanted to fully explain what happened.
@lots.0.logs Thanks for the quick reply!
I don't think I have the know-how to build it myself, so I'll be waiting patiently for it to find its way to the linux kernel.
I recently bought an MSI GS60 Ghost Pro, and promptly installed Antergos on the secondary hard drive as I have heard many good things and knew that I would need a linux environment for class.
I have been unable to find out how to get my wifi working, but ethernet does work.
The card in my laptop is a Qualcomm Atheros Killer N1525, and I haven't been able to find any resources about making it work with linux.
This isn't just a problem with Antergos, after doing some research I found that I was not alone in trying to get wifi working.
I'm having many of the same problems outlined in the linked post on the Ubuntu forums. I did a fresh install of Windows recently too, and noticed that neither LAN nor WLAN worked without me downloading the drivers on another computer, transferring them across to the laptop and installing them. The Windows drivers can be downloaded here, and are the Bigfoot LAN and WLAN driver on that page. It should be noted that I am actually able to use LAN through the ethernet port, but no wifi.
How should I go about fixing this? Is it just something that will take time and I'll need to wait for, or is there something I can do to get the wifi working?

11 mainlanders hurt as speedboat rams barge off PhuketTop News | Jane Cheung 11 Feb 2019
At least 11 mainland tourists have been injured - one critically - after a speedboat they were on collided with an oil barge near Phuket, Thailand.
The tourists - comprising eight adults and three children aged six, 13 and 16 - were rushed to hospital immediately after the 2.30pm crash on Saturday.
Two Thai crewmen on the speedboat were also injured.
An investigation is under way.
The speedboat reportedly rammed into the barge off Koh Rang while returning from the Phi Phi Islands.
Wiwat Chitchertwong, acting chief of the Phuket marine office, said the twin-engine boat departed from the Yamu Pier in Pa Khlok at 9am after one of the Chinese tourists paid for a day trip to the Phi Phi Islands. It crashed into the barge on the way back to Phuket.
Wiwat said paramedics were waiting at the pier for the injured tourists, who were brought ashore to receive first aid before they and the Thai crewmen were taken to Thalang Hospital and Mission Hospital Phuket.
The Chinese Consulate in Phuket sent representatives to the two hospitals.
It also urged Thai police and marine authorities to investigate the cause of the crash and called on them to provide necessary assistance to the tourists.
Meanwhile, a Taiwanese paragliding coach died and a Shanghai tourist was injured after they fell from a 30-meter high transmission tower yesterday.
Wang Tienming, 57, and the 26 year-old tourist, named Tao, were paragliding in Hualien City near Mingli Village at around 10am.
The paraglider's lines got entangled with tower wires, prompting Wang to cut them free and causing both of them to fall.
The pair were found underneath the paraglider later. Tao was conscious but Wang was certified dead after being rushed to hospital.
Taiwanese authorities said Tao injured his back. He had told paramedics that he could not move his limbs and his back hurt.
Authorities said the weather was windy with fog in the mountainous areas. They suspect the accident occurred after Wang miscalculated the landing distance.
It is understood that Wang owned a paragliding company.
He held a paragliding license and participated in numerous competitions in Taiwan every year.

COMPASSION GORILLA (www.compassiongorilla.com)
New Release: COALESCE
Preview the new album HERE! https://
With their third studio album, Coalesce, Compassion Gorilla offers up a unique interpretation of diverse and worldly musical styles, weaving together earthy and folkloric sounds with sophisticated and punchy modern sensibility. The album is officially released September 14th, and is accompanied by a busy fall tour in the band's home province of BC.
Coalesce features 8 tracks of musical ingenuity. From the wizardry of the opening track's cello feature, to the tight horn riffs of "Milk Thistle", the psychedelic cumbia groove of "Music for the People", and the 5/4-time Balkan-jazz stylings of "Son del Mar", the album presents a steady stream of fresh ideas while maintaining an overall cohesive feel. Latin rhythms anchor the album in a steady, infectious groove, forming a bed for punchy brass harmonies, socially conscious lyrics, and rolling dub-delay effects. The warm, rootsy production style is reminiscent of an older age of recording, giving it a simple and concise sound.
Compassion Gorilla's current sound has evolved over years of shifting membership, diverse collaborations and worldly travel. On tour promoting this new release the band boasts a 6-piece lineup that includes Daniel Cryderman (trombone and vocals), Chris Fretwell (guitar, charango, requinto and vocals), Dan Beer (drums), Suzanne Stirling (trumpet), Ariel Palacio (accordion), and Brin Porter (bass).
"great storytelling and the international language of music command the stage at today's festivals. Compassion Gorilla will find themselves front and centre again and again. With their eclectic blend of global rhythms and easy charm, they know how to bridge the gap between audience and performer."

Why Truly Understanding Loss and the Grief Process can help Divided Communities Heal Together
It has been called the worst humanitarian crisis of our time, Syria has gone from being the third largest refugee hosting country in the world, primarily for Iraqi refugees, to its current status of being the largest refugee producing country. Mercy Corps figures from October 2017 reveal more than 11 million Syrians are now on the run, let's just contemplate that for a moment, that's enough people to fill 200 Yankee Stadiums. Due to the ongoing conflict soon to enter its seventh year, many people have been forced to leave their homes, families and everything they possess. While 5.2 million have fled to find safety in bordering countries, there are more than 6.3 million people who are displaced in Syria and 13.6 million in need of humanitarian assistance. While those who find safety in neighbouring countries are considered to be the lucky ones, contrary to what may be widely assumed this is not the easy option. Adapting to a new country, language and way of life is not without major challenges and as a result, some people are choosing to return to their home country again.
Conflict and the resulting forced migration have a devastating effect on communities both for those that leave and those who choose to stay behind. In addition to the devastation of losing loved ones, those individuals who are forced to flee can experience multiple stresses that impact their mental well- being. These include, the loss of cultural norms, religious customs, and social support systems, adjustment to a new culture and changes in identity and concept of self. Migration involves the loss of the familiar – this includes language (especially colloquial and dialect), attitudes, values, and beliefs.
The complex interplay of the migration process, cultural bereavement, cultural identity, and cultural congruity, along with biological, psychological and social factors, is hypothesized as playing a significant role in the increased rates of mental illness in affected migrant groups. Most common symptoms reported include high levels of grief, anger, fatigue, fear and loss of control, anxiety, depression and stress affecting relationships within families, daily functioning and health. Psychologists have long acknowledged that the loss of one's social structure and culture can cause a grief reaction, but in war the mourning process is complicated by three factors: sudden and unexpected loss, ambiguous loss, and the role of anger, hatred and the blaming of the other. One of the most important parts of the mourning process is the search for an understanding of cause and effect.
While most of us will have suffered some type of loss in our lifetime, as a part of the normal process of loss, mourning allows us to deal with the chaos of grief and through this process most people can move into a new phase of life in a constructive way. But when the brutal violence of conflict results in death and loss, the mourning process, the search for a cause is likely to breed both anger and hatred, directed towards the political, ethnic or religious groups that are on "the other side" of such violence. All too often this anger and hatred cannot be openly discussed out of fear of retaliation and further violence. Any form of healing for the individual and communities as a whole, has to first anticipate and accept this hate and anger that is inherent in the understanding of cause and effect in war, and work with it.
Consideration should also be given to the vast body of literature from Western trained psychologists in postcolonial Africa on the integration of traditional concepts of death, loss, and healing in the aftermath of war and violence. While many rely on religious beliefs and practices as a primary source of support it has also been shown that in order to be fully adequate in addressing the effects of conflict, it was necessary to include traditional mourning practices in all programs for healing. From a psychosocial perspective, the actual importance of rituals, beyond the economic and spiritual aspects, is in the way that they provide a resource for a grieving person to be supported. The rituals in and of themselves are not the salient feature. It is the community mourning and solidarity that accompany them that gave the rituals their power and effect. Let us not underestimate the admirable strength and resilience of the human spirit itself and this exists in abundance particularly in the Syrian community and its people.
In conclusion to be truly successful in tackling mental health issues it is suggested that humanitarian organisations and MHPSS programming need to apply a deeper understanding of the multiple facets of loss and grief while also being attuned to the unique stresses and cultural aspects that affect migrants and refugees escaping war in order to best address those needs. While in no way is it suggested that psycho social support programs attempt to "heal" communities in order to return things to the way they were before conflict. Rather they should try to accompany refugees as they look for ways to work through their multiple experiences of grief and loss.

Hybrid MLM – TANI VS Tecademics
Thank you for visiting Affluence Network in looking for "TANI VS Tecademics" online.
Since among the earliest forms of earning money is in money lending, it is a fact that you can do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving sites now focus on Bitcoin, Some of these sites you are required fill in a captcha after a certain period of time and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for visiting them. It is possible to see the www.cryptofunds.co site to find some lists of of these sites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have very different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with an acceptable investment strategy.
Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running applications with specialized hardware. Mining applications listen for broadcast trades on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and affirm these trades. Bitcoin miners do this because they can make transaction fees paid by users for faster transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.
Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but they also participate in more elaborate smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows progressive dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain constantly leaves public proof that the transaction occurred. This can be potentially used in a appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.
Bitcoin is the principal cryptocurrency of the web: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, global, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no authorities, banks, or some other regulatory agencies. As such, it's more resistant to crazy inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the security and privacy hazards. Security and seclusion can readily be achieved by just being smart, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't set your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fastened by removing any identity of possession from your wallets and thus keeping you anonymous.
Binary MLM – TANI VS Tecademics
Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you take a look at a unique address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in the same manner a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is nothing more than a representation of value, but there is absolutely no actual palpable form of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal constraints enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed.
The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: because of the nature of the protocol by which it is transacted. All deals over a crypto currency blockchain are irreversible. As soon as youare paid, you get paid. This is simply not something temporary where your web visitors could dispute or require a concessions, or employ unethical sleight of palm. Used, most investors would be wise to work with a cost processor, due to the irreversible nature of crypto currency transactions, you have to make sure that stability is hard. With any type of crypto currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially access your individual keys and therefore take your money. Sadly, you most likely can never have it back. It is very important for you to undertake some great safe and secure procedures when coping with any cryptocurrency. Doing so can guard you from most of these damaging functions.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the total rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your odds of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a much higher possibility of solving a block, but the benefit will be divided between all members of the pool, depending on the amount of shares won.
If you're considering going it alone, it is worth noting the software settings for solo mining can be more complicated than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter course. This alternative also creates a steady flow of earnings, even if each payment is modest compared to fully block the benefit.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. To put it differently, its backers argue that there's actual worth, even through there is no physical representation of that worth. The worth increases due to computing power, that's, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that's worth an ever diminishing amount of money or some form of benefit in order to ensure the deficit. Each coin contains many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are exactly to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which will be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The blockchain is where the public record of all transactions lives. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there's little evidence of any growth in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason behind this could be simply that the market is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. Additionally it is possible the regulators simply do not comprehend the technology and its implications, expecting any developments to act.

The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the various nodes of the network is now the work of a number of firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms that provide long-distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally joins in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through one of these ISPs, players like amount 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and companies who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the info to flow without interruption, in the correct location at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations possesses the Internet collectively these businesses decide how it functions, and established rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's taking place to determine how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs permission from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to focus on the problem and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you've got someone to call to get it repaired. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these issues are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not regulated by any centralized company. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a committed supporter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works present built-in difficulties to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that.
Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too fast, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could grow dramatically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the raising costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can lead to a negative change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based company that may result in company being unable to continue to run or to discontinue operation.
Many people prefer to use a money deflation, notably those that want to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Monetary privacy, for instance, is excellent for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign funding. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in commerce; should you be living pay check to pay check, it'd happen included in your wealth, with the rest allowed for other currencies.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not essential to understand how the process works in and of itself, but it is simply crucial that you understand that there's a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike monies as we know them today where Authorities and banks can just choose to print unlimited numbers (I am not saying they are doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining program, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation.

Hybrid Binary – TANI VS Tecademics
The formation of sites has changed many lives, but there is always a concern in regards to the security of sites. There are other individuals with ill intentions who'll see what you're doing online. They can monitor your tendencies over time. Some of the matters they could check online include seeing your on-line photos, what you post online and even monitor your fiscal transitions over time with an intent of stealing from you. Even if there are many options which have been implemented, there is always danger due to third parties. For instance, when purchasing online using a credit card, you may be giving away lots of your personal information to the third party. Additionally, there are trade fees which make online payment expensive.
It should be difficult to get more small increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study how to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be true: having small increases is more profitable than attempting to fight up to the pinnacle. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to look at books than wait for order confirmation when you think the cost is going down. Secondly, there is more volatility and reward in monies that have not made it to the profitableness of sites like Coinwarz.
You are able to run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you acquire the uptrend will never drop! Always will go down! Viewers incremental profits are more reliable and profitable (most times)

Algebraic Confidence Boosting Tutor
Mr. Wayne was able to pin point my weaknesses and point me in the right direction for GREATNESS!!!! He explains the steps in detail that made me feel comfortable and eager to learn the math. I highly recommend Mr. Wayne for all your mathematical tutoring needs.Babetta, 3 lessons with Wayne
Very knowledgeable tutor
Wayne is working ahead this summer for Neal, who will be taking AP Calculus this August. He is very patient, calm and kind. Neal seems to really like him. So glad we found Wayne.Neal, 22 lessons with Wayne
Explained Subject Matter Clearly
Wayne helped my son with his Algebra 3-4 homework. He understood the subject matter and was able to explain it clearly. Wayne identified one of my son's weaknesses, that he is able to do the math in his head but doesn't show his work. Wayne went over how to show all of the steps of the solution, and how to write out the formulas, so that credit for homework and tests could be obtained.Eva, 230 lessons with Wayne
Excellent tutor!
We contacted Wayne to help my daughter with an online trigonometry course she needed to complete within a short period of time for her high school graduation requirement. He got her up to speed in two sessions, and she just recently completed her online final and passed the class! Wayne is very knowledgeable and effectively explained the concepts in a way that helped her understand enough to proceed with the remaining assignments and quizzes on her own. He was extremely understanding of the situation and willing to accommodate her schedule. I will certainly recommend him to others. Thank you, Wayne!Margaret, 2 lessons with Wayne
He Cares and He's Patient
We can always contact Wayne right away when we need Physics tutoring for our daughter. He returns the calls or emails fast and also tries to work with us regarding times and location. He is patient, he cares about the student needs and looks for different ways to help her understand. Our daughter's grades and her understanding of Physics has improved a lot. We definitely recommend him.Elisin, 5 lessons with Wayne
A patient and effective tutor
Wayne is a very patient and effective tutor who devotes his time to understand the needs of the person being tutored. Then he develops a study plan appropriate to individual needs. I highly recommend this very knowledgeable tutor.Cynthia, 198 lessons with Wayne
Great Tutor - Especially for an "Excelling" Student!
My son (a HS junior) has always been "highly achieving" in math and has been in gifted programs since the third grade. During his second semester of Calculus, we noticed he was starting to struggle a bit, not scoring as well on quizzes, tests and homework grades. In doing an internet search for tutors, we found Wayne at WyzAnt Tutoring. I sent an email to Wayne on a Friday afternoon and within an hour he had contacted me via email, then phone and we had sessions set up to begin the following Monday. My son was NOT on board about having a tutor and told us he was just "lazy" and that's why his grade was falling off. Wayne has been working with my son for 5 weeks now, his grade has improved, he feels more confident about the calculus concepts and his problem solving skills. In fact, after this week's session my son said, "I had a great tutoring session and I'm really GLAD that you found a tutor for me." He feels that he's been able to "get" the advanced concepts MUCH faster than in class or on his own! Money well spent!! I would highly recommend Wayne. He is prompt, courteous, knowledgeable AND knows how to get through to even kids who may be resistant to admitting they need help!! PS: Even our "high strung" dogs like him.Debi, 28 lessons with Wayne
Outstanding Tutor with an Incredible Amount of Knowledge.
I contacted Wayne three months ago when I was looking for a math tutor for my high school freshman. He worked with my son over Christmas break in order to ensure he understood all of the math concepts for the class he was taking. In addition, to keep my son interested he introduced physics, calculus and a number of other topics to help my son understand what he was teaching. My son enjoys working with Wayne so much that he asks for me to have him come and tutor him before a test or project. He is very easy to reach, responds quickly to questions and is extremely knowledgeable. He has a very clear way to explain even very complex math problems. If you need help with math, he is amazing!Janet, 30 lessons with Wayne
Good tutor for reviewing all levels of algebra!
After a 10+ year break from college (and 17 years after my last college algebra class), I went back and needed to take calculus. Due to the length of time since my last class, I needed to pass a placement test to enroll in it. I worked with Wayne from May to January, reviewing elementary algebra, intermediate algebra, college algebra and trigonometry, to refresh my very rusty skills. Wayne had textbooks to loan for every level (helpful as I was not taking the classes over). He also can help with using a graphing calculator if you use one. My experience was so much different than it was as a high school and college student first time around. I really felt like I understood what I was learning. Happily, my placement test score was more than adequate! I'm taking calculus now, and I intend to call on Wayne if I need help during the semester!Alexa, 21 lessons with Wayne
Great Tutor!
Mr. L. went through all of the chapters in my review book I needed help in and patiently explained to me the various concepts. While teaching he wrote down important points (which helped me study later), and he went through the sample problems with me. Sometimes he would also provide context to the problems we were doing, showing me where the Physics I was learning was seen in the world. Overall, Mr. L.'s teaching allowed me to take the AP Physics test with confidence and earn a great score on the SAT II Physics test. Physics B is scary because of the breadth of it---from mechanics to buoyancy to relativity to electricity and magnetism. With Wayne L.'s help, I was able to grasp all of the concepts. Most amazing of all, this was all done in a few months!Subbarao, 39 lessons with Wayne

JAIPUR: With the election campaigning in the state coming to an end on Wednesday, BJP president Amit Shah said in Jaipur while predicting that his party would form a government with full majority. Amit Shah addressed a press conference in Jaipur and said the BJP transformed poll-bound Rajasthan from a 'bimaru' to a developed state and would now make it prosperous.
The BJP, in contrast, practised the politics of development and got a good response, Shah told reporters on the last day of campaigning for the December 7 polls. Shah also talked about the Bulandshahr violence in Uttar Pradesh earlier this week and said it would be unfair to give it a political colour.
A police inspector and a young man were killed in mob violence that broke out after cow carcasses were found strewn in a jungle in the Uttar Pradesh district on Monday. The Congress, he added, had made allegations but things would be clear after the Special Investigation Team report.

This quiet Sunday has been filled with early morning Mass, fellowship with friends, and after a nap, a peach/pecan pie creation. Now, punctuated by thunder heralding rain to come - maybe - it's time to talk about how I am becoming a cook.
When you live in the Bootheel of Missouri, there isn't a lot to do. There are no cinemas, bowling alleys, or nearby shopping malls. The occasional thrift store does not change often, nor does the one antique shop. And that cute cafe for coffee and chatting over nothing in particular? Well, that's not here either. So women here have turned to other escapes - sewing, quilting, and cooking are, to my eyes, taking on an entirely new meaning, especially cooking.
In California, eating out was practically a way of life. Combine it with coffee with the girlfriends and thrifting, etc at all the ever-changing haunts and you had a recipe for lightening your pocketbook on a regular basis. But here, not so much and I find that the amazing cooks I know are drawing me into their fold.
So what does a girl do on a quiet Sunday afternoon? Well, I have peaches from my neighbor, Miss Katherine and I have pecans (lots of pecans) from Miss Jane. I have a ready-made Pillsbury crust (yeah, not ready to go there yet) and a pretty pottery bowl from my dear friend, Biene, from my California life. It seemed like the time to try making a peach/pecan pie.
Never having been one for baking, I set out my bounty and thought about the advise Jane gave me over breakfast. Since I have a long track record of messing up a recipe, I decided to wing it. Peaches (alas brown), pecans, and sugar were mixed in a bowl. Nothing measured but it looked right and tasted sweet enough. I sprinkled in bisquick to thicken and added in a dash of cinnamon at the end. Oh, and salt. I hope that wasn't a last minute bad choice. Well, anyway . . .
After this, I folded a crust into my pottery dish, poured in the mixture, and topped it all with the remaining crust. I crimped the excess dough together, the aim being to seal the pie.
It wasn't pretty but I like to think it looked rustic and that is just my style.
30 minutes at 400.
Added 7 minutes and covered the crust so it wouldn't get overly brown
Took it out. It looked perfect. After covering with one of my vintage tea towels (flies!!) it was ready for cooling, we'll see how it taste.
The thunder is still making itself known and I'm thinking the rain will never arrive, at least not here anyway. It seems that in the space of 8 short weeks I've not only started to employ my long dormant baking skills but I have also become a stormwatcher of sorts.

In a large heavy saucepan, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger root, and mushrooms and saute for 3 minutes, or until the mushrooms are just seared and still dry. Deglaze the pan with the vinegar and reduce over medium-high heat until almost no liquid remains. Stir in the sambal olek and salt and remove from the heat. Add the vinaigrette and tir to mix. Set aside and allow to marinate for at least 6 hours. The mushrooms can be kept covered in the refrigerator, for up to 4 days.

Is Bike Share Worth It? Mapping Where Bike Share Works Best Countywide
The value of bike infrastructure in Los Angeles County has not gone by unquestioned: in Long Beach, morning commuters were downright irked by the separated bike lanes along Broadway and 3rd while L.A.'s MyFigueroa! project continues to face battles of its own (despite an endorsement from the Los Angeles Times).
With commuters wondering how bicyclists are achieving so much so quickly—by now, it would be political suicide for an urban politician to frown upon bicycling and pedestrian accessibility—and amping their ammunition against such measures is going to require numbers to get them to support further infrastructure. If there is one argument that anyone can have, it is: Will it be used?
Enter Shane Phillips, a transportation junkie who not only believes in the power of stepping outside of a car but more importantly, knows how people can be influenced by visuals.
"I find it fascinating how accessible maps (and map-making) have become," Phillips said. "There's so much data out there at this point that if you're interested in a topic and want to visualize it, you can probably dig up the data somewhere. And unlike even five years ago, you can do it without being an expert in GIS or other sophisticated software."
So he mapped the viability of implementing a bike share program in every census in tract in Los Angeles based upon how people get to work.
Inspired by Transitized—Chicago's massive interactive map that tells you precisely how Chicagoans move around—Phillips used Google Fusion to use geospatial information with data he had about bike usage amongst all census tracts.
""My original intent with the bike mode share was to see if any corridors stood out as highly-trafficked by bicycles, and to potentially use that data in support of investments in bicycle infrastructure where people were riding a lot already," Phillips said.
The end game? An entire map which shows where bike share would not only be best installed but most used for commuters.
Most census tracts, according to Phillips, have less than an 8% bicycle share mode so he grouped everything above that amount into the category that needs it most (the darkest green on the map).
Not shockingly, the corridor along the MyFig project is one of the most viable, as are bike-centric communities like Santa Monica and North Hollywood. Some surprises include not only the Valley (Cahoga Park, anyone?) and Whittier.
Another surprise was Long Beach: not even hitting a single share above 8%, it seems that most in Long Beach not only recreationally bike but the most viable spots (those reaching somewhere between 4% and 6%) are (not shockingly) Retro Row and Downtown (the Shore had nada).
Of course, one should remember that Phillips was relegated to work commute data so non-work trips are not included; the casual rider on days-off is excluded which not only opens the door for a much-needed data gathering troupe (hint, hint, Bike Long Beach) but also the fact that perhaps we shouldn't relegate our analysis to commuters only.
"Not all neighborhoods are fortunate enough to have been created with those natural advantages—y'know, slower speed limits, less traffic, flatter terrain," Phillips said, "but I think it's been shown pretty universally that if you make a place bike-friendly, people will ride.

Since I have been on an Amazon Prime medieval movie kick, lately, I decided to switch things up a notch by watching a film set during the Early Modern period. Enter Storm and Luther's Forbidden Letters.
Released just last year in 2017, the film is a period piece during The Reformation. It follows 12-year-old Storm Voeten as he finds himself in a race against time to save his father from the blood-thirsty inquisitor hell-bent on purging the city on Protestant influence. Narratively, the story is simple: Storm's father, Klaas, is a printer by trade and is paid to print a letter by Luther. Unfortunately, he and the uppity Protestant cell is discovered; Klaas is imprisoned while Storm takes the original frame for the letter and runs underground. There, he befriends a young girl named Marieke who makes her living as a thief stealing what she can in preparation for the day when her father returns. Together, the two form a duo that will lead to the overthrow of the inquisition. Impressive!
Beat by beat, it is a conventional action-drama film. It is obviously geared toward younger audiences and though I would normally shriek at such films, due to their usual tendency to become too overbearing in their censorship, I found myself doing the opposite here; why? Because the film is excellent. The cinematography, acting, music, costumes, it is all wonderfully done.
True, the story is aggressively ordinary. We have all seen the story of a mismatched couple find love in a dire situation. Seriously, if you want this story done better, just watch Disney's Aladdin. That being said, how it unfolds the narrative, is smart and the strength of the film is in how the atmosphere works to its advantage in conveying the period and danger.
What I mean by this is that Storm got the details right. Our young protagonist, for example, is a printer's son and so can read and write. Now, what a lot of movies get wrong is that this is no small thing; remember, back during the early modern period—as well as during the medieval and classical periods—reading and writing were skilled trades. You had to go to school and learn these skills and since school was not considered a common good back then—and still isn't really now, per se, but is at least greatly accessible thanks to public schooling—the result was that hardly anyone knew how to read and write. Storm gets this detail correct by at least displaying the gravity associated with reading and writing—it can, literally, start a revolution.
Over the course of the film, not only is reading and writing seen as a skilled practice, something, perhaps, akin to computer programming today, but it is associated with struggle. With technical skills required to not only read but set up the printing presses, books burning becomes not merely a historical quirk as it is all too often reified today, but a violent reality of living under an authoritarian regime.
Other than details like this, the film makes up for its simple narrative by variety. Over the course its hundred-odd minutes, you will see secret meetings, youth radicalization, sewer chases, a brief cross-dressing scene, theology commodification ("Indulgences"), dramatic fights, betrayal, and even an uprising. And because all of this is fused with an attention to detail, all of it feels focused on the period, like it is true to the history.
Theologically, Storm presents itself as a Christian film, one that is unambiguously Protestant. Even though I am not a Christian myself, I can safely say that the theology of the film is indirect; the avowed Protestantism of the movie expresses itself via iconoclasm—specifically of the anti-Mary statues—as well as through the defense of Martin Luther. Other than that, this is not a Christian film preoccupied with preaching and converting. I might even go as far to say that this isn't even a "Christian" film if that if your criteria of delineation for what makes a Christian film Christian. Storm, then, is very much a "mainstream" movie with Christian elements.
Whether you think this is a positive for the film or a negative, I found myself enjoying Storm.
That being said, this is not to say that Storm didn't have its missteps. Because it did. The most noticeable being in the final act when Storm and Marieke fight. It is sudden and misplaced and feels far too forced. Then, there are loose thematic threads like Storm's young male friend from the beginning; we see him at the start of the film stealing an apple but nothing more is said of him after that point. I feel he was supposed to be a larger element of the story, and likely a piece meant to symbolize Storm's own moral relationship to worldly deeds, but he gets dropped and never mentioned again within the first act. Ultimately, I feel that the film could have used another solid 30 or 40 minutes of content to flesh out themes and sub-plots. Had the director, Dennis Bots, put a tad more effort in giving the characters the time they needed to evolve naturally, I feel that the finished product would have felt much more refreshing.
In the end, Storm is fine family film. And even though I rolled my eyes at how even during a period piece, the ending was yet another stale, heteronormative, middle-class fairy tale, I loved its charm. All though Storm's modern influences can plainly be seen, it does them well without being hugely overbearing. Considering some of the lowest slime that I have seen while making these little-known reviews, I will gladly give this film my approval.

|Fungus Responsible for Bat Disease Found in State
Three tri-colored bats, Perimyotis subflavus, from a privately owned cave in eastern Oklahoma's Delaware County have tested positive for the fungus, Pseudogymnoascus destructans, that is associated with the disease known as white-nose syndrome. This disease has been confirmed in seven hibernating bat species across the eastern United States. With these new findings, Oklahoma becomes the third state where the fungus has been confirmed, but the disease is not present.
Bats are crucial to a healthy ecosystem. They play a key role in keeping insect populations including agricultural pests and mosquitos under control. In cave systems, they also provide nutrients for other cave life through their droppings.
"While disheartening, these results are not totally unexpected," said Melynda Hickman, wildlife diversity biologist with the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation. "This fungus has been documented in several counties just across the state line in Arkansas," she said. To date, this finding marks the westernmost case of the fungus in the United States. The fungus thrives in cold, humid environments and invades the skin of bats. White-nose syndrome disrupts the hibernating behavior of the bats, resulting in depletion of their fat stores. There are no known human health implications associated with white-nose syndrome.
The detection of the fungus resulted from participation in a national study led by researchers at the University of California-Santa Cruz with funding and support from the National Science Foundation. Surveillance efforts in Oklahoma are conducted in collaboration with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and include swabbing the muzzle and wings of hibernating bats along with the surrounding cave walls (substrate). "One positive aspect of the Delaware County finding is that although three bats have tested positive for the fungus, no dead bats were observed in the cave and there were no visible signs of the disease on any of the hibernating bats," Hickman said. "Furthermore, all of the substrate samples from this cave were negative for the fungus," she said. The Wildlife Department and its many partners are committed to continuing surveillance for this fungus in Oklahoma.
After a suspected case of white-nose syndrome in Oklahoma in 2010, the Wildlife Department created the Oklahoma Bat Coordinating Team, composed of at least 20 entities that have direct bat and cave management responsibilities. The team created a communication plan involving scientific cooperators, interested parties, stakeholders and user groups on bat and cave management, bat research and bat diseases in Oklahoma. The team has been active in creating the state's white-nose syndrome response plan and participating in disease surveillance work in multiple cave systems in Oklahoma.
For more information about white-nose syndrome, including the national response plan for managing the disease and ongoing research, visit the national white-nose syndrome website at whitenosesyndrome.org.

Dark Energy by Robison Wells
Five days ago, a massive UFO crashed in the Midwest. Since then, nothing—or no one—has come out.
If it were up to Alice, she'd be watching the fallout on the news. But her dad is director of special projects at NASA, so she's been forced to enroll in a boarding school not far from the crash site. Alice is right in the middle of the action, but even she isn't sure what to expect when the aliens finally emerge. Only one thing is clear: everything has changed.
Alice thinks she'll feel out of place at her new school of geniuses and ultra rich. But she meets sociable students who become fast friends right away. The Big Reveal of the aliens who crash landed on Earth is quite a surprise. And eventually, the feel of the story reminded me a bit of the Roswell series. However, there is a darker mystery here.
Dark Energy is an engaging standalone science fiction novel for teens. There is a bit of romance, though there wasn't any chemistry between the Alice and her beau. I don't think there was any mention of her even being attracted to him, so it felt a bit awkward. I still enjoyed the characters, especially Alice and her roommates. The mystery and pacing made this an exciting and fun read. And the climactic finale didn't disappoint.

Historical Fiction
Endeavour Press
February 29th 2016
326 pages
A sensational novel depicting Anne Boleyn's dramatic downfall through the eyes of a servant in the court of Henry the Eighth.
Avis Grinnel's life is forever changed when a young musician arrives unexpectedly to escort her to the innermost sanctum of King Henry VIII's royal court.
However, it is not the king who has demanded her presence but his new queen, the much-disliked Anne Boleyn.
She has been told Avis is a "little cunning wench who has the sight" and demands she uses her powers to divine whether the queen is pregnant with a girl, or with the boy child the king expects.
From the moment she gives her fateful answer, Avis becomes embroiled in an extravagant world of intrigue, deceit and murderous plotting that is far removed from her lowly home life in the king's kitchens at Greenwich Palace.
She becomes an unwilling participant and watcher in the alliances and misplaced loyalties of court life as the King wages religious war with the Pope and the churches while changing wives and mistresses in his relentless pursuit of a male heir.
Whispers, lies and rumours abound as the Queen fights for her survival and Avis struggles to balance her life of opulence in the royal chambers with the humble world of her baker parents and a mysterious suitor.
Her story is revealed partly as it unfolds and partly as a deeply-felt memory told to the faithful blind White Boy, who has been at her side for most of her life.
The brutal ending of Anne Boleyn's reign is already known and written into history but this dramatic and vividly drawn story records the stark reality with an intricate and colourful portrayal of life at all levels in Tudor England.
Malyn Bromfield has drawn on her academic background to create a deeply researched and intensely detailed historical novel that depicts Anne Boleyn's downfall through the eyes of a servant in the court of Henry the Eighth.
The detail of daily existence, whether it be the extravagant fashions of the courtiers or the tedious tasks of cooks and flunkeys, is richly intricate yet is woven so delicately that the drama never falters.
my Review
This was a very pleasant read that I think any lover of historical fiction will find enjoyable. The addition of the fictional Avis lent the well-known story of the rise and fall of Anne Boleyn a nice freshness without seeming forced. The story was well paced and the characters and environment felt believable and historically accurate enough for a work of fiction. The only reason this didn't get 4 stars (it was a 3.75 for me until the end) was that I thought there was far too much exposition at the end. But that's always a risk when setting your book as a story-within-a-story. In the end, I give this a good 3.25.
**I received this copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**

In my hands
It's all in my hands
He's in my hands
He's not safe there
But he'd be safe there
If I knew it.
If I knew that he'd be safe there
Then he'd be safe there.
But how to teach myself
How to make me know it?
How to learn that if I learned that,
That he is safe there,
He'd be safe there?
And more than learning
How to practice?
How to put to action
How to make me act on the knowing
On the understanding,
On the certainty
That he is safe there?
I know it
It's in my hands
But seeing isn't always
And knowing isn't always
How to teach myself to live in Capitals?
How to teach myself to take Control?
How to realize that I can win?
And when I realize I can win,
Who wins with me?
Does he win with me,
Or does he lose with me,
Or could it be
It very well might be
That he wins without me
Or even there's a possibility
That he loses without me.
Which will it be?
But back to me.
How to make me understand?
How to make me get it?
How to convince oneself,
Specifically myself
That this is true enough to act on it?
We haven't even touched on truth.
Truth. With a capital T.
Do I even have it?
Could I recognize it?
If I had it
And I believed it
And I acted on it
Would I even feel peace
Would it feel right
Or would it feel like a lie
I mean, if someone else lost it?
Would their pain take away my peace?
And if so, does peace really exist?
Another questions for another day
Can't solve them all anyway.
Right now, it's me.
It's in my hands
I just have to recognize it
I just have to act on it.

New Toshiba USB 3.0 Drives Come with Cloud Storage
Monday Toshiba announced a new line of Canvio external hard drives featuring a USB 3.0 interface and support for cloud storage. Now available today nationally in retail stores and via online outlets, the new Canvio 3.0 line offers 500 GB, 750 GB and 1 TB models pre-loaded with NTI BackupNow EZ software.
According to Toshiba, the software allows users to back up their data to the external drive and to a cloud drive hosted by NTI, depending on the size. For backing up the entire system, users merely send their data to the external drive itself. But for backing up specific folders and file types, users can use the virtual locker. The backup software also scans the user's system and files and recommends which files to backup to cloud-based or on-device storage.
In addition to the cloud feature, the Canvio 3.0 portable hard drive line is pocket-sized, sporting a rounded rectangular form factor and a sleek high gloss finish. Other features include complete password protection with up to 256-bit data encryption, an on-screen Drive Space Alert monitor, and Toshiba's internal Shock Sensor and Ramp Loading Technology that protects the drive during daily movement.
"Digital consumers need to quickly backup high resolution photographs, important documents, high definition videos and large music files in a seamless storage system. HDDs with cloud-based backup capabilities offer consumers a digital safety net against system failure," said Maciek Brzeski, vice president of HDD retail products, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., Digital Products Division. "With cloud-based backup, Canvio 3.0 offers consumers a simple and easy backup solution for all types of digital files that need reliable storage."
Toshiba also announced USB 3.0 versions of its Canvio Basics external drive line which doesn't offer cloud storage. These are also available in 500 GB, 750 GB and 1 TB capacities and feature a new compact design.
Available now, the Canvio 3.0 external drives cost $89.99 for the 500 GB model, $109.99 for the 750 GB model, and $139.99 for the 1 TB model. The Canvio Basics 3.0 line costs $79.99 for the 500 GB model, 750 GB for the 750 GB model, and $129.99 for the 1 TB model
willie nugsQuote:The Canvio Basics 3.0 line costs $79.99 for the 500 GB model, 750 GB for the 750 GB model, and $129.99 for the 1 TB model
Did you say that the 750 GB model drive cost 750 GB???
Max Collodi
I refuse to pay any more than 600 GBs for the 750 GB model.
a very interesting thing to know!
is it the answer to lost data?
600? that's too high. I will pay 500 GBs for it. No higher.
eddieroolzSimply put, a bit expensive.

CommentAdd a Comment
"...no longer does anyone want to walk with me to the blue mountain to pray,..."; this book presents reflections upon times and people that are changing. It's a quick read - about 30 minutes - yet it is filled with good, deep information that connects one with the Native American culture.
This is not the best work of Chief Dan George. It was created at a time (1970's) when people from Germany came to Canada to promote themselves by using Indigenous people. This work is filled with images by Helmut Hirnscahall and very little writings of Dan George. Too bad because Chief Dan George was a very smart man.

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — A community college professor has been charged with using his students' names and Social Security numbers to obtain department store credit cards.
Bradley Neil Slosberg, 49, of Winter Haven, was arrested Friday on charges of criminal use of personal identification and scheming to defraud, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.
Slosberg and his girlfriend, Deborah Hafner, stole the identities of at least three of the students from his anatomy and physiology class at Polk Community College, sheriff's office spokeswoman Carrie Rodgers said.
Hafner, 45, filled out the credit card applications and committed the forgeries, Rodgers said. She was charged with two counts of forgery and one count each of criminal use of personal identification and scheming to defraud.
The couple could not be reached for comment early Monday.
Slosberg had asked his students to write their names and Social Security numbers on a sign-in sheet, students said. "We all signed it," Amanda Bracewell said. "We figured, 'He's a teacher, what is he going to do with it?"'
