T-Mobile jumps on report Sprint preparing takeover
An offer from Sprint would leave U.S. wireless market dominated by three companies, raising possible antitrust concerns
SAN FRANCISCO — T-Mobile US shares jumped in late trading Friday after the Wall Street Journal reported that Sprint is preparing a bid for its wireless network rival.
A Sprint acquisition of T-Mobile would leave the U.S. wireless market dominated by three companies, AT&T, Verizon and Sprint. An offer from Sprint would test U.S. regulators' willingness to allow such concentration, the WSJ said.
Sprint is studying regulatory concerns and could launch a bid in the first half of next year, the newspaper added, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter.
T-Mobile US shares gained more than 8% to $27.50 after the report. Sprint shares also climbed on the news.

Dear Familia y amigos,
WOOOOOOOOOOOW! Justin looks like a super stud. Make sure you watch him. All those girls are going to want to date him haha.
I bet Priest Lake was a ton of fun. It looks like y'all had a great time out on the boat and also fun with bike rides and swimming. Did you know Priest Lake is my all time favorite vacation spot? Not to put aside Mexico because that was amazing, but I really enjoy Priest Lake. Anyways I am glad to see the pictures and I love actually being able to see mountains. - haha.
That is very exciting to hear about the class reunion (Sunnyside 82'). I bet is was cool to see where everyone is in life, and also sad to see what some have done with their agency. WHAT? Eric is already back that is so awesome I bet he has changed so much. My mission has changed me so much too. That is exciting to hear about the family Book of Mormon reading. One thing that has been so great being able to read the Book of Mormon over and over is that it has strengthened my testimony and has helped me to understand how I can help others gain their own personal testimony.
Well, this past week has been full of finding new investigators that are very sincere and have a lot of potential. We have been getting outside in the hot sun and talking to everyone that we see. It has proven very effective and I am super excited to start working with new people, especially because of the fact that we found two families this week that we are starting to teach. It was kind of frustrating again as we did not have anyone come with us to church and we had very solid commitments from them. However, we have made the goal of inviting everyone to church and setting a high but reachable goal for sacrament attendance of non members this week. I am super excited and ready to go out this week and talk with every living soul and find, teach, and baptize. Elder Fa'onelua is an amazing companion. I have learned so much from him and have been able to find more ways to fulfill my responsibilities. An experience that was a very spiritual and a great learning experience happened this last week. As a result of turning in a mileage report late we found out we had to park the car until the report was turned in. I learned to be more organized and prompt. I also learned that the Lords work will continue to move. We had already planned for the next day when we found out this news and it was amazing to see that the appointments that day were centralized and withing walking distance. We also had an exchange for the evening to go to other appointments. It was great to see that the Lord has our backs allowing us to continue his work.
Hope Y'all have an amazing week.
Love Elder Shoemaker

After 12 years of the promulgation of the Representation of the People's Amendment Act (ROPAA), 2006 (Act 699), the Electoral Commission (EC) has set up a nine-member committee to come up with a road map for the implementation of the law.
The establishment of the committee follows a judgment by the Human Rights Division of the Accra High Court in December 2017 that ordered the EC to implement the ROPAA in one year.
The committee, made up of representatives from the EC, political parties and civil society organisations, is chaired by the Deputy Chairperson of the EC in charge of Corporate Affairs, Dr Eric Bossman Asare.
Other members of the committee are: Ms Adjoa Abrefa Asuama, EC; Mr Christian Owusu-Parry, EC; Mr John Boadu, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Dr Benjamin Kumbour, the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The rest are Dr Kojo Asante, Centre for Democratic Development (CDD); Professor Ransford Gyampo, University of Ghana, and Reverend Dr Ernest Adu Gyamfi, National Peace Council (NPC).
As of the time of the inauguration, which was held in Accra yesterday, one person to be nominated by the rest of the minority parties, including the Progressive People's Party (PPP), the People's National Convention (PNC) and the Convention People's Party (CPP) to represent them on the committee had not been decided by the parties involved.
The committee "shall commence sitting" in January 2019 and "shall present its final report" to the commission by the end of May, 2019.
On December 18, 2017, the Human Rights Division of the Accra High Court, presided over by Mr Justice Anthony Yeboah, gave the EC a one-year ultimatum to implement the ROPAA.
The order, according to the court, was to ensure that Ghanaians outside the country registered and voted in the 2020 elections.
The court said the EC must "uphold and ensure the full compliance of the operationalisation of Act 699'' within the 12-month period by laying before Parliament, a Constitutional Instrument (CI) that will set out the modalities for the implementation of Act 699.
In the event that the EC has any justifiable reason and is "unable to comply with the order", the court ordered the commission to publish the justifiable reason(s) 30 days before the expiration of the deadline and also appear before the court to explain the reason(s).
Failure by the EC to implement the ROPAA, the court held, was a violation of the fundamental human rights of Ghanaians in the diaspora, whose right to vote had been guaranteed by the 1992 Constitution, which was made effective by the ROPAA.
The landmark judgement was as a result of a legal battle between five Ghanaians resident in the United States of America and the EC over the failure of the commission to implement ROPAA.
They were Dr Kofi A Boateng, Ms Nellie Kemevor, Mr Obed Danquah, Mr Christine Sillim and Mr Agyenim Boateng.
Specific duties
Inaugurating the committee, the Chairperson of the EC, Mrs Jean Mensah, explained that the committee was to, among other functions, research on countries that were implementing ROPAA and how it had been implemented there.
The committee, she added, was to hold a stakeholder consultation to seek the views of key stakeholders, including the media on the subject and review any previous proposals made on its implementation after which they would produce a report, spelling out the modalities for the implementation of the ROPAA.
She, therefore, charged the members of the committee to work assiduously towards meeting the May 31, 2019 deadline.
"At the end of the work of the committee, a technical group will be constituted to draft regulations for external voting which will eventually be passed into a constitutional instrument by Parliament. This is expected to be in place by the end of December, 2019," she stated.
In his remarks, Dr Asare expressed appreciation to Mrs Mensah for the confidence reposed in the members of the committee and gave an assurance that they would explore all avenues and come out with the needed information that would enhance the successful implementation of the Act.
He further indicated that in spite of the challenges that would confront the implementation of the ROPAA, the EC was committed to ensuring its successful implementation and called on all stakeholders to support them.
Meanwhile, some representatives of the minority parties who were present at the meeting, expressed dissatisfaction at the EC's decision to give them a single representation on the committee.
Describing the move as a "deliberate attempt by the EC to make us lose our relevance" in Ghana's political discourse, some of them accused the commission of failing to write to them formally to inform them about the exercise.
In an interview with the Daily Graphic after the ceremony, the Chairman of the NDC, Mr Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, who was present at the meeting, expressed worry at the manner in which the EC was carrying out the implementation process of the ROPAA and called for a broader consultation on the subject beyond the committee level.
While expressing satisfaction at the EC's efforts towards the implementation of the ROPAA, the General Secretary of the NPP, Mr John Boadu, however, proposed the addition of a representative from Parliament since "it would be passed into a constitutional instrument by Parliament."
Responding to some of the issues, Mr Owusu-Parry, who is the Secretary to the Committee, explained that all matters relating to the formation of the committee were widely discussed at an Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting held in October this year and that the EC did no wrong in that regard.

Speed Limits and Safe Driving Tips
Safe driving tips if expanded to cover all aspects of four wheel motoring would fill more than half a dozen books which is a little beyond the scope of an article. It's also unlikely that the drivers in most need of safe driving tips would bother to buy such a book. After all they know the basics and what more is there to be concerned with? Sorry guys but it's true!
Lets examine then just one crucial aspect of driving skills, that of the importance of Speed Limits and how you go about adhering to them even when you might not be aware of their existence or the relevant speed pertaining.
This article is written from an Irish perspective or more accurately from that of an Irish Driver attempting to alert the visiting Tourist and Learner Driver as to the dangers of life on the road in Australia.
In Ireland and Britain driving takes place on the left which means that most drivers visiting from Europe or North America could need a little time to acclimatize.
Road construction and layout is not as advanced in Australia as elsewhere although the main road network has improved substantially in the recent past.
The same cannot be said for the rural road network in Australia and this is where the greatest difficulties with speed limits will be encountered by all inexperienced and Tourist Drivers alike.
Rural roads are frequently overgrown with hedges and trees that have not been cut back thus hiding the rather infrequent Speed Limit signs. Landowners or householders in the country areas are rather lax in their appreciation of passing traffic and speed limit signs where they exist are frequently completely invisible.
Ireland recently underwent a change to Metric Speed Limits and during this transition, which brings them in line with Europe but not the U.K, certain previously long established speed parameters were altered.
The maximum speed now on an Irish rural or secondary road is 80 KPH which translates to 50 MPH; down by 10MPH which is a substantial and long overdue reduction. Even at 80 KPH one would be exceeding the safety threshold on most stretches of Irish rural road.
In contrast, on Motorways in Ireland the new metric speed limit of 120K KPH is clearly visible as you would expect, although most drivers would exhibit a devil may care attitude. Speed limits are there for a reason but do not indicate whether it is safe to drive at that speed. You as the Driver have to use your skill to assess what speed you personally can drive at in any given situation.
When giving Tuition to new
Learner Drivers we always point out that if you are substantially below the speed limit at any time whether this speed is safe or not, you will be overtaken by reckless and poor drivers. It's essential to be aware of vehicles approaching from behind when you are at or below the speed limit and try to assess by the body language of the driver whether they are preparing to overtake you.
You can expect to be overtaken by approximately 70 per cent of traffic following you if you are driving within the law or are exactly at the speed limit. This observation also applies to Dual Carriageways particularly, which carry a speed limit of 100 KPH which is about 2MPH more than the previous Imperial speed limit of 60MPH.
On an Irish rural road you can almost guarantee to be overtaken if you are adhering to the 60KPH speed limit (40MPH) which you will encounter as you approach civilisation, particularly if the road ahead is straight! Little or no consideration will be given to the approaching built up area speed limit of 50KPH (30MPH) and the inherent dangers of finding something in your path that requires emergency action.
Safe Driving Tips should be on the driving school in sydney curriculum for all Irish schools from primary level upwards. If this was implemented the statistics of Pedestrian and Young Driver fatalities would see a significant improvement in time. It is the responsibility of all drivers to set an easily recognisable standard and example to all other road users particularly the young.

Remembering one of: "Our Fallen Brothers"
John Jelich was a Scout Pilot in Charlie Troop in 1967-1968. After completion of his tour of duty he went back to the States. John served a second tour of duty, this time as a Scout Pilot with Delta Company 229th Attack Helicopter Battalion. It is on this tour that he was shot down and lost his life. John and his wife Tina had one daughter and a son on the way. This is how his sister, Maggie, remembers him.
We grew up in an average town, USA. Attending an all boys high school meant a lot of discipline, hard work and some fun. Most of our dads had been in WWII. This made the VW Bug an object of jokes. "Hitler's Revenge". One sunny spring day John and a few of his friends carried a VW and placed it on the front steps of the school. It meant it wasn't big enough or strong enough to be a real car.
John was quiet. When interviewed by the AP in between tours ( he was a hero who was highly decorated) he was described as taciturn. But he loved fun and he loved his family. His dad was his best man at his wedding.
He got married in between deployments. John and Tina lived in L.A. while he finished his degree and taught Flight School. They had a beautiful daughter named Deidre. Just for fun he sent me a gift from California. A diaper full of poop.
John was killed while his wife was pregnant with their handsome son (John Anthony) who was named after him. His last conversation with just me was in our driveway. I was upset because he was going back to Vietnam. He told me very clearly that after knowing the love he has for his daughter, he had to go back to help the children of Vietnam.
So much heart ache when he was killed but when I get morose I think about how even though he died so young at least it was honorable – doing something he believed in. That thought has gotten me through watching his kids grow up. They are spectacular and his grandson is just as mischievous as his grandfather. I expect he will carry a car up some step too.
John was assigned to Charlie Troop 1st Squadron 9th Cavalry 1st Cavalry Division (AM) from 1967 to 1968. He was assigned to "D" Company 229 AHB (Attach Helicopter Battalion) on October 31, 1971 and was Killed in Action on April 1, 1972. John was awarded the following medals for his heroism: Purple Heart, Air Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Vietnam Service Medal and a Set of Army Aviator Wings.
John Jelich's daughter-in-law, Elizabeth, posted a message to the blog post on John. Her husband, John Anthony Jelich Jr., his son John Anthony Jelich III, and Brook Jelich, live in Texas and are now hoping to be able to make it to our Reunion.
If you remember one of "Our Fallen Brothers" send me an email. I love to put it on my blog and in a News Letter.
I am now have all of the Photographs to complete my mission of obtaining a Photograph of all 112 (including Major Radcliff) of our "Fallen Brothers". I had sent a request of to the Personnel Center in St. Louis, MO under the Freedom of information Act for : James R. Whitmore, Warren F. Brown and Billy J. Talley. I received James Whitmore's official Army Photograph and May 13th and Warren F. Brown's official photograph on the May 15th. While I was waiting for a picture of Billy Talley from the Army, I called a Newspaper in McCrory, Arkansas and talked to a Miss Betty. She had her daughter talk to me. I explained what I was looking for and why and within two days she had me a copy of Billy's High School Senior picture. I have also sent off for the official photographs of several of the Troopers I already have. I did this because the photographs I had of them were not very good. I must admit that when I get the photographs from St. Louis they are not in the best shape. Fifty year old cameras did not always take the best pictures. I am hoping the ones I get on the men I already have are at least better then the ones I have.

Summer 2017
Lyrical Living: Words to Live By
"Cumbered With a Load of Care" Click here for audio
Pastor Marty Raths
Galatians 6:1-5, Matthew 6:25-34
To be sure it is a burden sometimes, but all in all it is a good thing, the fact that we have the capacity to care. It means that we have a heart, and just imagine the alternative. I collect tee shirt wisdom, and I once saw someone wearing a tee shirt that read, "Oh you must have mistaken me for someone who cares." Imagine living in a world like that, a world where everyone just could not care less.
So all in all it is a good thing that we care. But there is no doubt that it is a burden sometimes. I mean life is so full of cares, as we all know, and not only are there the cares themselves, there is also how we choose to see them, and how we choose to carry them, and how we choose to share them.
With our summer worship theme Lyrical Living: Words to Live By we are looking at favorite hymns and hymn phrases, and the phrase I chose for this morning comes from the hymn What a Friend We Have in Jesus. And I chose it because it captures some of the blessing and burden that is a part of our experience of caring. Just a moment ago we sang, "Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?"
It is a curious word, cumbered, but a fitting one for our experience of care. As I said before, there are the cares themselves, and then there is what we choose to do with them, and often what we choose only makes things worse. We get all caught up in them, and entangled by them, and overwhelmed by them. We get encumbered by them, and from my own personal experience and from my experience as a pastor I would say that one of the biggest, if not the biggest, encumbrance to our care is worry.
Some years ago I was on a retreat, and in the retreat center there was a book of Chinese wisdom sayings, so of course I picked it up. And when I opened it, this is what I read, "That the birds of worry fly above your head, this you cannot change. But that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent." In a similar spirit there is an old Swedish saying, "Worry gives a small thing a big shadow."
Now I do not in any way want to make light of our cares, they are real, and they are many. But worry does add another whole layer of encumbrance. Someone once calculated that 90% of what he worried about in his life never ended up happening. 90%! Now the percentages may vary some from person to person, but most of us do quite a lot of unnecessary worrying, and by that I mean worrying about things that never really come to pass, or when they do, they are not nearly as serious as our worrying lead us to believe. So we can have real cares in life, and then we can be cumbered with a load of care made heavier by all of our added worrying.
The truth is that there is no crossing a bridge before we come to it, no matter how much we may worry about it, so it is not very helpful to worry about imagined bridges. Better at least to worry about the bridges that we do need to cross, the ones right in front of us. Or, as Jesus said, in Eugene Peterson's translation of our gospel reading, "Don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help us deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes." In other words, there are enough real worries and cares for us to have to deal with in life, ones that we can actually do something about, without our adding to them all sorts of imagined ones.
A bassoon player once came up to his conductor, the famous Arturo Toscanini, and he nervously said that he could not reach the high E flat. Toscanini just smiled and replied, "Don't worry. There is no E flat in your music tonight."
Now there may be one in the music tomorrow night, or maybe not. But that is another bridge, for another day, and today it is only an imagined one, so focus on the real bridges that we need to cross, and the actual notes that we need to play. Or, as Jesus said, "Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now . . . " Today. Now I know that this is really hard to do, and I struggle with it like all the rest of us, to stay focused on the real worries and cares that we face in life, but Jesus is right. All our other worries are just an encumbrance that tangles us up and weighs us down.
And once we are able to separate out the real from the imagined worries and cares, as best we can anyway, getting ourselves down to our real worries and cares, then we need to make another important distinction. We need to distinguish between what we can do about them, and what we cannot do, and what we need to ask God to do or to help us to do. Now I know that this too is really hard for us, especially for those of us who feel the need to be in control all the time. But at the same time I do believe that most of us see the wisdom in it, and I believe this accounts for why a simple prayer has come to be one of the most prayed of all prayers, recognizable to most all of us. "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference . . ."
This prayer was written by the ethicist and theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, in a time not unlike ours. Its origins are a little obscure, but it seems that he first wrote a version of it in the 1930s in a world filled with economic uncertainty and rumors of wars. That too was a very worrisome time, and this simple prayer spoke to people then. Later it was printed on cards for soldiers to use during the Second World War, and most of us have come to know it because of its widespread use in AA with people struggling with addiction. And what Niebuhr offers in this prayer is an antidote to our worrying, and it is really the same antidote that Jesus offers us.
Both of them begin by accepting as a fact of life what we are often hesitant to acknowledge, that there is a lot in life that is beyond our control. Now we can try to fight this, and many of us try to do just that, but the fact remains. Sometimes things just happen, and there is nothing that we can do about it.
There is a story about a man who is enjoying himself on a quiet river at dusk, when he sees another boat coming down the river towards him. At first he is delighted that someone else is on the river with him enjoying the beautiful evening. But then he realizes that the boat is coming straight towards him, and that if neither of them gets out of the other's way, they are going to crash into each other. So he starts shouting and waving his hands, trying to get the other boat to change course. But the boat keeps coming towards him, closer and closer and closer, and by this time the man is standing up and screaming and shaking his fist, but the boat keeps coming until it crashes right into his, and only then does he see that there is no one in the other boat.
Despite all of his efforts, there was nothing that this man could have done to change the course of that other boat. All of his resistance, all of his shouting and arm waving and fist shaking, changed nothing. Sometimes things just happen in life, and there is nothing that we can do about it. It is just not in our control, though we can control how we respond to what happens. We can always do that, or at least we can ask God to help us to do that. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change . . . not the indifference or the anger or the cynicism . . . but the serenity.
Now there was not anything that the man could have done to change the course of the other boat, but that is not to say that there was not anything that he could have done. He could have changed the course of his boat. God, grant me the courage to change the things I can. That is where we need to put our energies, on the things that we have some control over, on the things that we can change.
But that does take some courage because change does not always come easily to us. We usually prefer the status quo. Still Jesus talked a lot about our need to change things, both in our lives and in the world. Of course there are always things in life that we do need to turn over to God. But there are others things, many things in fact, which we need to do something about. Often we want just one answer from God to our prayers. "Sure, I will take care of that for you." But God has a lot of ways to answer our prayers. "Yes." "No." "You are kidding, right." "Not now." "Give it some time." "Good idea. How about you make it happen."
Discipleship is a covenant partnership between us and God, with each of us doing our part. "Without God, we cannot," Augustine once wrote, "without us, God will not." Or, to stay with the boating image, there is an old Danish saying that goes, "Pray to God in the storm, but keep on rowing." God never calls us to do what we cannot do, only what we can do, though often that is more than what we believe we can do, or more than what we may want to do.
And sometimes we can do it, but not all by ourselves. Sometimes our prayer needs to be not, grant me the courage, God, but grant us the courage. As Paul reminds the faithful in Galatia, and us, we need to share one another's burdens. We need to be there for each other, to lean on each other sometimes, to walk beside each other for a time, to pick each other up when we fall.
It matters the company we keep. At any time, but especially when we are going through a worrisome time, it is good for us to be in the company of those who are like minded and hearted, those who will help us to discern what we cannot do, and what we can do, and should do, and if need be, who will help us to do it, by helping to share our burden.
Many years ago I did a funeral for a 13 year-old boy in our congregation who died in a farming accident. It is still the most difficult funeral that I have ever had to do, and as only such a tragic death can do, it weighed on me, on our congregation, and on our small community of Redwood Falls. Now the morning before the funeral, as I was working on my meditation, wondering what I could say that would be any comfort and assurance to those who would be there, and especially to the family, the doorbell rang. It was Mary Jo, one of the faithful in our congregation. She was standing at the door holding a hotdish, and as she handed it to me, she said, "I know this is going to be a difficult funeral for you, so I thought this might help a little."
Of all the funerals that I have ever done, and there have been many, hundreds, this is the only time that someone brought me a hotdish. But you know, this was the one time that I needed it most.
And of course this hotdish was more than just a hotdish. It was Mary Jo's way of saying that she cared, and it was her way of helping me to bear the burden, bless her heart. In this sense it was what someone has called a sacrament of care. The sacraments are an outward sign of an inward grace, and this hotdish was a similar sign. It was care made visible. So even though it was just a hotdish, it was more that that, and we should never underestimate the significance of such signs. Whether it be a hotdish, a note, a call, a visit, an offer to help, these all can help us to bear one another's cares.
There is an old Irish saying, "Two shorten the journey." And this is true, whatever the journey, a journey of joy, of struggle, of achievement, of sorrow, of grief. Another part of what can make us feel cumbered with a load of care is feeling that we are bearing the whole load ourselves, and what a difference it can make when we help each other to bear it. It can be the difference between feeling weighed down by worry upon worry upon worry, or feeling that there are others who are surrounding us, helping us to bear some of the weight, and of course feeling that the grace of God is surrounding us as well, upholding the birds of the air, as Jesus says, the flowers in the fields, and you and I and all of us. So instead of feeling cumbered by a load of care, we feel supported by others and by God in the midst of all of our cares, and sustained by the prayed for virtues of serenity, and courage, and wisdom. Amen

Government grants nuclear power license for Fennovoima
The Finnish Government has given Fennovoima a Decision-in-Principle regarding construction of a nuclear power plant. The Government made its formal decision today on May 6.
Fennovoima appreciates the Government's view that the nuclear power project is for the overall good of the Finnish society. Fennovoima is essential for its shareholders as they are in genuine need for own, reasonably-priced electricity.
− We are pleased and happy that the Government has confidence in us and we hope that Parliament will share the view of the Government. We, Fennovoima's shareholders, are strongly committed to this vital project and motivated in proceeding to its implementation without delay, says Juha Rantanen, Chairman of the Board of Fennovoima.
Fennovoima was established in 2007 and it has 64 shareholders: companies representing trade and industry and dozens of local electricity utilities. To support their expertise, Finnish founding companies chose E.ON, one of the world's biggest energy companies, as the expert partner for the project.

41 matched hotels in Szczecin
- HRS recommends
- HRS stars
Proximity to …
Pice …
What might interest you too:
Location: Across the Oder River on the shores of Dąbie Lake
In the far north-west of Poland and on the border with Germany, the city straddles the river and has been a major port for centuries. It has its own airport, the "Solidarity" Szczecin-Goleniów Solidarność, which is 47 kilometres to the north-east and offers regular flights to many European destinations. The airport has excellent bus and rail connections to the city, and recent roadwork constructions have made travelling by car to and around the city much easier. The newly upgraded A6 connects to the A11 Autobahn in Germany, and enables the visitor to reach Berlin 145 kilometres to the west in under 90 minutes.
Business: Dominated by sea trade and shipbuilding
Known historically as a shipbuilding centre, it still has the largest business of this type in the country in the Stocznia Szczecińska Shipyard. In recent years, it has become a home for many IT start-up companies that enjoy the close location to Germany. Many hotels offer facilities to businesses, such as meeting and conference rooms, and the city also boasts two large exhibition and convention centres, which can offer internal space up to 5,000 square metres and externally over 20,000 square metres to cater for almost any event.
Culture: Shortlisted for European Culture Capital 2016
With many museums, theatres, and art galleries to visit, a walk through Szczecin's streets will open up many possibilities to see the culture and history of this busy port city. Sites that must be seen during your stay include the 14th Century Ducal Castle and the two city gates of King Wilhelm I. The castle was restored after extensive damage during the Second World War, and shows how it would have looked in its heyday. The two gates, the King's Gate and the Berlin Gate, are beautiful pieces of architecture. Sit in one of the nearby cafes, and enjoy the ambience with an espresso and watch the world go by around you.
Activities: Take a tour of Cold War history
Szczecin sits atop a network of concrete tunnels that wind their way beneath the busy city. Built originally during World War 2 as bomb shelters for the inhabitants of the city, they were converted in later years, during the height of the Cold War, as fallout shelters. Tour guides take you through the eerie, stark tunnels, where you can experience a sample of what life might have been like had the tunnels been used if the threats of nuclear war had turned real.

NextCard Sues Providian, Claims Banner Copied
Page 1 of 1
Internet-based credit company NextCard Inc. is suing credit company Providian Financial Corp., alleging copyright infringement in a case that some say could set a precedent for how the law applies to Internet advertising.
The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, accuses Providian of copying a banner ad that features a descending thermometer to represent falling interest rates. Both companies are based in San Francisco. NextCard said the ad is its most effective ever, with about 680,000 Web users clicking on it.
"The protection of the intellectual property and the substantial investment companies make in banner ads is of critical importance to Internet-only companies like NextCard," said Anthony de Alcuaz, counsel for NextCard in the dispute. "Unfortunately, Providian did not respond appropriately to our efforts to resolve this dispute amicably."
NextCard said Providian's ad infringed on its copyrights and trademarks, and represents unfair competition. NextCard asked the court to force Providian to stop running its ad and pay unspecified damages.
"There are no proprietary rights in banner ads," Providian spokesman Marc Loewenthal was quoted as saying. "They are attention-getting devices that do not reflect any original work of authorship."
Federal and state laws define unfair competition and protect business trademarks, copyrights and proprietary symbols. But legal experts say there is little guidance on how the law applies to Internet ads.
"This is a subject that's going to be one of the hottest in the next few years," Joseph Cotchett, an attorney in Burlingame, Calif. told the AP. "It's going to spawn more litigation than you can imagine."

Ransomware is a term that is very much talked about in today's digital era. Gone are the days when ransomware was considered amateurish work for young computer geeks. Today, it is more of an organized crime ring with one clear objective: to make money. In the process, they ruin businesses, data portals, customer information, and customer trust.
Ransomware is a common type of malware that will try to extract a ransom payment by unblocking access to an asset that belongs to the victim. In the case of crypto ransomware, the captured assets are usually files and data that are stored on infected devices.
When a consumer is affected, the ransom demands are around $300. However, when it comes to businesses, cybercriminals seek a higher demand, because the value of the asset is comparatively very high. Unfortunately, even after the payment of the ransom, there is no assurance whether the cryptors will decrypt the data that they have held as ransom.
"According to the Corporate IT Security Risks Survey 2016, the average amount of damage caused by one crypto malware attack may cost small and medium businesses up to $99,000." And according to a 2016 Corporate IT Security Risks Special Report Series, "42% of small to midsize businesses say they consider cryptomal ware to be one of the most serious threats that their organization could face."
Today, with such temporary loss, businesses can face a huge dent in their day-to-day processes, which will ultimately lead to:
· Loss of sales
· Tremendous reduction in productivity
· Huge costs to recover the systems
These damages can jeopardize the core function of any business. Moreover, today there are far more cryptor attacks than compared to just a decade ago. So how does a cryptor attack work?
1. It attacks by sending a URL that directs to a malicious file which gets downloaded the moment someone clicks on the link.
2. Another way is by sending an email that consists of malicious attachments; such an email can even be in the form of a word file.
Generally, crypto malware operates by blocking access to data, instead of stealing them. To get access, victims pay a huge sum as ransom. Employers now must make the extra effort to teach employees to watch out for fake email messages and malicious links that often appear as real by arming against phishing attacks and backing up files frequently.

- What is the difference between a deep cycle battery, a starting battery, and a dual-purpose battery?
A deep cycle battery has the ability to be deeply discharged and charged many times during its service life. It is designed specifically for powering electrical equipment for long periods of time. An automotive or starting battery is designed for brief bursts of high current and cannot withstand more than a few deep discharges before failure. This is why it is unable to start your car if you accidentally leave the lights on more than a couple of times. For applications where both engine starting and light deep cycling are required, a dual-purpose battery is often used. This type of battery is neither a starting nor a deep cycle battery but rather a compromise between the two so it performs both functions adequately.
- Can I use my Deep Cycle battery as a starting battery?
Deep cycle batteries can be used for engine starting but starting batteries should not be used for deep cycle applications. A deep cycle battery may have less cranking amps per pound than a starting battery, but in most cases a deep cycle battery is still more than adequate for the purpose of starting an engine.
- What's better? 24 Volt or 48 Volt system?
Higher-voltage systems tend to be more efficient and put a lower load on the batteries. Factors other than the battery enter into the system's overall efficiency.
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of gel, AGM, and flooded lead acid deep cycle?
Generally, gel and AGM batteries have about 20% less capacity, cost about two times more, and have a shorter cycle life than comparable flooded lead acid batteries. However, Gel and AGM batteries do not need watering, are safer (no acid spilling out), can be placed in a variety of positions, have a slower self-discharge characteristic, and are more efficient in charging and discharging than flooded batteries (see table below). Gel batteries are more suitable for deep cycling applications whereas AGM batteries are more for light cycling and engine-starting applications.FloodedGelAGM

- How can a battery's state of charge be accurately measured?
The state of charge of a lead acid battery is most accurately determined by measuring the specific gravity of the electrolyte. This is done with a hydrometer. Battery voltage also indicates the level of charge when measured in an open circuit condition. This should be done with a voltmeter. For an accurate voltage reading, the battery should also be allowed to rest for a period sufficient to let the voltage stabilize.
- Does my deep cycle battery develop a memory?
Lead acid batteries do not develop any type of memory. This means that you do not have to deep discharge or completely discharge a battery before recharging it. For optimum life and performance, we generally recommend a discharge of 20 to 50% of the battery's rated capacity even though the battery is capable of being cycled to 80%.
- Do batteries self-discharge when not in use?
All batteries, regardless of their chemistry, self-discharge. The rate of self-discharge depends on the type of battery, the age of the battery, and the storage temperature the batteries are exposed to. As an estimate, Trojan batteries self-discharge approximately 4% per week at 80o F.
- What type of charger should I buy?
An automatic charger offers the greatest convenience. Just plug the battery into the charger and the charger does the rest. Manual chargers, although equally effective at charging batteries, require a greater level of attention. Generally speaking, automatic chargers are priced higher than manual chargers.
- What size charger should I buy?
A properly sized charger takes into account battery capacity and the time interval between charges. In applications where cycling is infrequent, such as weekend RV users, or infrequent or seasonal trolling motor usage, a charger with an output current rating between 10 and 13% of the battery's rated 20-hour capacity will suffice. In applications where battery recharge must be accomplished within 8 to 10 hours, a three stage, automatic charger, rated at 20% of the battery capacity, may be required.
•Example: A good charging rate for a battery with a 20-hr capacity of 225 amp-hr is about 22 to 29 amps. You can of course go slightly higher or lower depending on what is available on the market.
- When should I water my batteries?
Water is lost during charging. Therefore, the best time to water your batteries is always at the end of the charge cycle. However, if the electrolyte level is extremely low or the plates are exposed to air, add some water to cover the plates before starting the charge cycle.
- How often should I water my batteries?
How often you use your batteries will determine the frequency of watering. For example, the weekend fisherman may find he only needs to water the batteries in his boat once a month. While a maintenance supervisor for a golf course might need to service the batteries in their golf cars every week. Also using batteries in a hot climate may require more frequent watering. It is best to check your new batteries regularly as this will give you a good feel for how often your application will require battery watering. WARNING: A brand new battery may have a low electrolyte level. Charge the battery first and then add water if needed. Adding water to a battery before charging may result in overflow of the electrolyte.
- How can I tell if a battery is bad?
To determine if the battery system is experiencing a problem, fully charge the batteries then shut off the charger and remove all electrical loads. Allow each battery in the system to stand on open-circuit for about one hour. Measure the voltage of each battery. If the battery voltage spread exceeds .15 volts for a 6 volt battery, or .30 volts for a 12 volt battery, a problem is indicated. Battery voltage alone does not confirm a problem. When the voltage spread indicates a problem, confirmation is accomplished by taking electrolyte specific gravity readings using a hydrometer. If the specific gravity readings show a spread greater than .030 (30 points), give the batteries an equalization.

Greg has a post about a short column by John Leo about the anti-Americanism of some Hollywood denizens. The new stupidity is from the screenwiter for War of the Worlds (a movie I enjoyed and would recommend):
David Koepp, who wrote the screenplay for War of the Worlds, says the Martian attackers in the film represent the American military, while the Americans being slaughtered at random represent Iraqi civilians.
Leo also points out some other instances of anti-Americanism by Hollywood elites and briefly discusses the profoundly perplexing idea of picking Oliver Stone to direct a major 9/11 flick. Frankly, I findn it disgusting that an idiot such as Stone would be allowed to direct a movie which deals with such a sensitive topic. Besides, his last movie Alexander was a huge bomb, are Hollywood execs that dumb? I guess so.
I think the great irony is that those in Hollywood probably exploit our great freedoms more than nearly everybody else in this country, yet they so often use those freedoms to mock, malign, and abuse the country that gives them those freedoms. If Socrates were still alive, I think he'd kick their collective ass.

|Transformation Brace ToQ Changer
The train station-themed transformation device used by the ToQgers. They can change by inserting a ToQ Ressha and yelling "ToQ Change". It makes an energy safety line that impedes Shadow Line forces from crossing. They then insert the Ressha into the Changers and flip the lever down. By inserting a different Ressha into it, a ToQger can assume another's color. The ToQ Changer then announces "ToQ [number]gou [Previous Color in English] Transfer [Current Color in English]" When the button sporting the train icon is pressed and the lever is raised, the Ressha are summoned, making a ticket pass machine appear. The ToQgers must scan their Rainbow Passes on the ticket reader. To summon any of the Support Ressha, a ToQger must press the gold button, remove their ToQ Ressha out of the it.
|Rail Slasher
The Rail Slasher is the red weapon any Toqger can wield, resembling a stretch of railroad track. It can summon trail of railroad track for various purposes, from bind foes with, allowing easy dispatchment, to a defensive whip to act like pseudo-shield to smash all projectiles in front of the wielder. It can even launch other ToQgers forward for high-speed attacks.
|Home Trigger
The Home Trigger is the blue weapon any Toqger can wield, taking the form of a railway station. The targeting emblem on the weapon can be fired to paralyze foes, allowing one with overflashy combat moves to safely fire without retaliation.
|Shingo Hammer
The Shingo (Signal) Hammer is yellow weapon any Toqger can wield, with the head of resembling a signal light. When the blue light on the Hammer is lit, it is charging up energy, and when it flashes to red, it releases all of the stored energy.
|Tunnel Ax
The Tunnel Ax is the green weapon any Toqger can wield, with the head of the axe resembling a cut-in-half tunnel.
|Tekkyou Claw
The Tekkyou (Bridge) Claw is the pink bi-claw any Toqger ca wield, resembling part of a bridge. With some Imagination power, it can be enlarged, and any Kuros that get into the it would be the size of an ant.
|The Combination Departure Cannon Renketsu Bazooka
The Connection Bazooka is the combination of the core weapons. The team signature attack with the Renketsu Bazooka is the Rainbow Rush, whose attack is powered by the Energy Ressha and its effect reflected in the shooter's imagination.
|The Revolving Gun-Sword ToQ Blaster
The ToQ Blaster is the standard sidearm of the core ToQgers. It can change from Uchimasu (Gun Mode) to Kirimasu (Sword) Modes by turning the weapon near the grip. On the sides of the weapons on the part that rotates are English letters of "Blaster Mode" and "Blade Mode." Ressha can be placed inside the weapon to boost the effects of the attacks.
|Rainbow Pass
The Rainbow Pass are special cellular-like devices that all the ToQgers have, functioning as their belt buckles and communicators. It allows them to board onto the Ressha and they can be used like credit cards to access Wagon's concession cart. In the ToQger vs. Gaim Special, NarutakiIcon-crosswiki possessed an orange-colored Rainbow Pass before giving it to Kota Kazuraba, allowing him to enter the Ressha, who then gave it to Mai to try to get her out of Zawame City. Wagon has a personal Rainbow Pass in the same shade of purple her body has, which she uses to snap pictures of herself.
|Transformation SmarPho Applichanger
The smartphone-themed transformation device of ToQ 6Gou. The Applichanger has different apps each with different functions which includes Call Mode to communicated and Change to transform. When Akira presses the Henshin app button, the phone slides open to reveal a small track on which he swipes his Ressha along. Like his fellow ToQgers, he can transform by shouting "ToQ Change! HA!!" and after transforming, The Applichanger announces the ToQger by number. Unlike the ToQ Changer, the Applichanger can be used to transform regardless of the user's imagination or affinity with light, allowing it to be used without issue by Z and even Ticket. When pressing the Build Ressha app button, the Applichanger summons the Build Ressha and announces the Ressha is arriving! Traveling with safety first!" The Drill Ressha app button calls the Ressha and says "The Ressha is arriving! Please hold on tight to the straps for it will be shaky!"
|Yudo Breaker
The Yudo Breaker ("Guidance Breaker") is ToQ6gou's personal weapon accessed through the Build Ressha, which resembles a light guide stick. If the Drill Ressha is inserted into the Yudo Breaker, it can fire a drill-based energy blast. This weapon can also be accessed by ToQ 1gou's ultimate form, ToQ 1gou of the Rainbow, which allows him to use the combined power of all the ToQgers.
|Last Train Ressha Cannon Daikaiten Cannon
The Daikaiten Cannon (Great Rotating Cannon) is a cannon themed after a railway turntable, summoned when a ToQger is in Hyper form. Once the Hyper Ressha is inserted into the cannon, 5 more Ressha can be placed on the railway-like chambers. Once done, the ToQger holding the Daikaiten Cannon pumps the weapon 6 times then locks the Ressha into firing position for the Hyper Five Connection Crash attack. During its first usage, with no other Ressha besides the Hyper Ressha inserted into the Cannon, the finishing attack was announced as the Hyper Last Train Crash, which fired an Imagination construct of the Hyper Ressha.

The NHS crisis is being 'pushed to its limit' according to over 1,500 physicians surveyed by the Royal College of Physicians' (RCP's) in our latest report NHS reality check: Update 2018.
Doctors from across England, Wales and Northern Ireland provided detailed information to the report, with the majority indicating that their situation had become worse in nearly all areas of care over the last year.
Overall, the picture painted by respondees shows doctors struggling against rising demand, the impact of an ageing population with increasingly complex medical needs, and the difficulties of maintaining morale when the NHS is underfunded, underdoctored and overstretched.
The data showed:
RCP president Professor Jane Dacre said:
It is extremely worrying and depressing that our doctors have experienced an even worse winter than last year, particularly when so much effort was put into forward planning and cancelling elective procedures to enable us to cope better. We simply cannot go through this again – it is not as if the situation was either new or unexpected.
As the NHS reaches 70, our patients deserve better – somehow, we need to move faster towards a better resourced, adequately staffed NHS during 2018, or it will happen again.
Using the statistical and oral data, the RCP made three recommendations for fixing the ongoing crisis, which included making the UK more accessible and attractive to doctors from other countries, bring NHS organisations, royal colleges, professions, trade unions, regulators, higher education institutions and think tanks together to work to make sure the NHS has the workforce and resources it needs, and match funding for health and social care must with growing patient need while investing more in public health initiatives that reduce that need.

You hear the sound of a siren, barking its shrill whoop-whoop, from behind you. You feel panic set in as you check your rear-view mirror and see the tell-tale glare of red and blue lights on the roof of the cruiser behind you.Your heart jumps over itself, doubling its pace, your stomach gives an ugly twist of nauseous discomfort, and you frantically eyeball your speedometer. Your inner dialogue kicks in before you can even pull to the side of the highway:
No! Noooo! Not now! Not today! Was I even speeding? What's the speed limit here, anyway?! I thought I saw a sign that said it was 65! It's not my fault! They don't have enough speed limit signs on this road! I'm going 60! Well, nearly 60; I mean, if you round down- it's pretty much the same thing. There's hardly any difference! Stupid cop! Stupid police! Stupid, stupid me. Ugh! I do NOT need this right now!
... It's miserable, isn't it?
I know that you can perfectly relate to what I'm talking about- that sick feeling we all get. Police, cops, law-enforcement officials, security, whatever they're called- they instill anxiety in us, even when we're not "breaking the law." I know they do in me, at least (and in every person that I've asked, as well).
But just think about that truly ironic fact...
How completely and utterly backwards is that? The "law" should inspire the opposite of fear in us. Yet the most endangered and anxious I have ever felt, in my entire life, was around police officers. And it's not even because I was doing anything illegal (which I wasn't)- it's because they have the power to screw my entire life up, and they can do it for the wrong reasons, too. Cops are just human beings. They wear badges on their chests and guns on their hips, yes, but that doesn't mean they're infallible, that they don't make wrong decisions or bad calls, that they don't sin (and sin all of the time, just like the rest of us).
So is that why we fear them? Because we know they're human, because they can make mistakes?
Or, is it because we know that we're human?
It illustrates our relationship with the Law rather well, actually. No, not the "law" of ruddy-red-cheeked men in blue uniforms, nor the "law" of speeding tickets, fines, or closed-circuit security cameras. I mean the true, inherent, natural system of Right and Wrong.
We fear cops because we know that we will slip up, and that we might get caught; because cops, thankfully, are neither omniscient nor omnipresent. They're limited, like us, by what they can see with their own two eyes, by their earshot existences. We can detect their radars, we can tail cars going faster than we are, we can pick up speed again after we crest the next hill.
But the Law isn't like that.
The Law doesn't need a flashlight to see you hiding in the dark, picking your nose. It sees and is aware of everything, no matter how shameful or debased, because it simply is and exists. It encompasses all of reality, being on its own terms, independent of speed traps or human awareness. It is omniscient and omnipresent. It's like a policeman who tails me, two steps behind, every second of every day and night of my entire life. Even more than that, though, a policeman who can read my thoughts, as well. Who can see my heart and soul with perfect vision, all of my darkest secrets and sins, my dreams (by day or night), all of the stuff that I considered to be said, or thought, in perfect privacy.
That terrifies me, a little...
But, then again, God would have foreknown that we would never be able to learn on our own.
I guess that's why He arranged for His Son.
Now, every time I trip up (as I always will), and the Law catches me (as it always will), it's as if Jesus switches to the driver's seat before the Law even has a chance to approach my pulled-over car. Then, the Law sees Jesus and immediately backs off, hands waving in apology, because the Law knows Jesus' face, it knows His perfection, and it knows that it has no right to even give Him a warning.
But that doesn't mean I just speed whenever I want to, and break as many Laws as I'd like- because I'd never get anywhere, since I'd still be getting pulled over every single time I did something wrong. But the truth is that I will mess up, still; it's unavoidable.
But thank God I don't have to fear it anymore.

Wow man you never cease to impress. I LOVE the image of being in the driver's seat when you sin and then Christ's Work on the cross being the equivalent to switching into the driver's seat for us.
Really relateable image haha.

I got a little gratification from the part about cops being fallible. Reminds me of Hunter Thompson and the FBI. Obviously with a completely different moral, but true nonetheless. I really enjoy the analogy, as well as the fallibility of man. Making mistakes is our birthright. Just as sure as we breathe we screw up. Anxiety is simply viewing the unnatural as natural. Which (could be argued) is a mess-up in and of itself.

Yep, it's another post about twitter.
Don't worry, this isn't going to be about which celebrities I've been almost talking to (although having said that I did get into a bit of a back-and-forth with Robert Llewellyn over Big Oil). In fact, I just wanted to highlight a rather interesting experiment in spontaneous 'crowdsourcing' (techie/web 2.0 speak for "getting lots of people to do the work for free"), that came about due to this weekends fairly intense winter weather.
As he describes in his blogpost, Paul Clarke came up with a quick 'n' dirty format to log the progress of the snow across the UK using the #uksnow tag (which people were reporting in an unstructured manner anyway). As also covered by PeeeBee in his post, the tag is trending pretty well considering it's Superbowl Sunday.
The data continues to roll in, but as I've mentioned before, I think the real value of data is unlocked when you open it up to as many people as possible to use and interpret. This is exactly what Ben Marsh has done with his mashup #uksnow tweet map, which shows the location and severity of the tweeted snow reports on a Google Map.
It's a work in progress obviously, but the fact that this was all thrown together in less than a day (less than an afternoon even) shows just how quickly data can be manipulated to 'make sense'.
So kudos to Paul, Ben, and everyone who contributed #uksnow tweets. This may be the start of somethine big, as Paul says himself:
Either way, this is the closest I've been to a Twitter meme, and it hasn't half made me think. And given the day job, and trying to stimulate real innovation in public information, that's probably quite a good thing. I mean, if this did go anywhere, I can think of quite a few players in my working world who would take it Very Seriously Indeed. And that is a hint, by the way
The question is, how else can this approach be used? I've got a few ideas myself, but your suggestions are welcome!
