UPS Contest Seeks Innovative SMEs in Latin America
Press Release
The third edition of the "UPS Entrepreneurial Spirit Award" launches in 14 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean with up to $50,000 in cash prices
Miami, Florida, September 25, 2012
- UPS (NYSE: UPS) today announced the launch of the third edition of the "UPS Entrepreneurial Spirit Award" in 14 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean. The contest, which runs from September 25th to November 9th, will award up to US$50,000 in cash and a scholarship for an executive program from INCAE Business School to the three most innovative and successful small-and-medium size enterprises (SMEs) in the region.
"SMEs play an instrumental role in the growth and development of a competitive and efficient market in Latin America. UPS has and will continue promoting SMEs in the region as well as the entrepreneurs that work tirelessly to make them successful," said, Augie Picado, Vice President of Marketing UPS Americas Region. "The UPS Entrepreneurial Spirit Award seeks not only to support SMEs in continuing their path of accomplishments, but also gives SMEs a voice to share their innovative processes that have broken new grounds to success," added Picado
In Latin America, SMEs are key drivers for employment and generate a substantial share of GDP in the region. "Participating in a contest that recognizes SMEs was not only a great opportunity for professional growth but also recognition for the hard work our employees do every day to make our business a successful story," said Juan Aguayo, business development manager for Opti Manufacturing, one of the 2010 UPS Entrepreneurial Spirit Award winners.
The UPS Entrepreneurial Spirit Award launched in Mexico for the first time in 2008 and the contest has since expanded to include 14 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three SMEs, as follows:
First place - US$25,000 cash prize
Second place - US$15,000 cash prize
Third place - US$10,000 cash prize
In addition to the cash prizes, INCAE Business School, ranked as one of the best business schools in Latin America and recognized for its MBAs and executive education programs, has joined efforts with UPS. The first place winner will have the opportunity to be part of one of their executive programs with all expenses paid.
"SMEs play an instrumental role in the private sector growth and INCAE supports SME growth providing the necessary knowledge and education for SME owners and future entrepreneurs to better manage their businesses, be good leaders, and have an impact on their teams. At INCAE, we are proud to partner with UPS in this endeavor," said Zeidy Benavides, Executive Programs Recruitment Manager INCAE.
The contest is open to all legally registered SMEs in the participating countries that have between 10 to 250 employees and no less than two years of operation as of January 31, 2012. To participate, companies must submit a 500 word essay and complete the entry form available on the official contest Web site:
Limited to one entry per SME, each essay received will be reviewed by a diverse panel of experts who will select the contest winners based on originality and innovation, business implementation, customer service and overall results.

I have recently gone from a 3X to XL. As I am sure you are aware, there is a great need for clothing for people, like me, at the bottom of the plus-size range. Thanks for now highlighting my search for XL items.
Junonia has always been on top of changes. My only challenge is that I am short, so unless I want to hem like crazy, your beautiful skirts are too long for me. Recently, I've found "knee length" skirts that are mid-calf on me – perfect.
Thanks again,
Hi Joyce,
Thanks for writing. I'm very glad to hear that our new and improved Shop by Size feature is making an impact already. Finding accurate, reliable sizing is always a challenge when it comes to women's apparel, and it's an even more sensitive subject where plus size clothing is concerned. Sizes at the top and bottom of the plus size range are often the hardest to find.
Our website now makes it simpler for everyone with an easy-to-use, drop-down menu that allows shoppers to sort by size.
Let's say you're an XL woman looking for a new tankini top. Just visit our Swimwear department and click on "Two-Piece Separates" under Categories on the left side of your screen. At the top right side of your screen, you'll see a box labeled "Filter by Size." Click on the box, pull down the menu, click on "XL" and click "Go." You'll now see only the swim separates that are available in XL, eliminating the annoyance of hunting through all of the items to find one that's in your size. It sounds like a small detail, but shoppers like Joyce can tell you that it makes a real difference.
As for the skirt-length issue, we'll count you as another vote for expanding our selection of petites. We offer a number of petite styles, and quite a few more that I'd call petite-friendly, but a full-scale petite line has been a topic of discussion around here for a while now. Stay tuned for updates on that front!
Thanks for writing, and keep the letters coming,
Anne Kelly
Founder and Chair
Junonia Ltd.

The very best data you can get is on the range. What do you want the ammo for? Hunting? Defense? Target? Plinking?
All published data is a very accurate determination of how that cartridge performs in the test gun. Shoot different ammunition at different ranges at paper targets. Shoot into clay, dirt, wood. Autopsy animals shot with your load.
There is just no "bad" ammunition sold, otherwise the company wouldn't be long in business. Start with .38 Specials and shoot,shoot, shoot, and shoot some more. Your best will come to the surface.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
The disruption of the human microbiome through use of antimicrobials is a topic of growing interest among healthcare epidemiologists, not only because it is a major risk factor for C. difficile infection (CDI), but also because it could be a driving force behind the introduction and proliferation of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) in healthcare settings. A greater understanding of the protective role of the microbiome could have major implications for the future direction of infection control. The speakers will review the current understanding of the role of microbiome disruption in the epidemiology of diseases such as CDI and MDRO colonization and transmission, and what the future may hold with regard to intervention.

Revenue and Taxation Code
Other Taxes
Part 5. Vehicle License Fee
Chapter 5. Distribution of Proceeds
Section 11003
11003. Appropriation for use of department. The amount appropriated by the Legislature for the use of the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Franchise Tax Board for the enforcement of this part shall be transferred from the Motor Vehicle License Fee Account in the Transportation Tax Fund to the Motor Vehicle Account in the State Transportation Fund. That amount shall be determined so that the appropriate costs for registration and motor vehicle license fee activities are apportioned between the recipients of revenues in proportion to the revenues that would have been received by those recipients if the total fee imposed under this part was 2 percent of the market value of a vehicle.
History.—The original section provided for appropriations from the License Fee Fund for the use of the Department of Motor Vehicles in an amount determined by the Department of Finance to be necessary for the enforcement of this part but not in excess of 3 percent of the money paid into the fund. Stats. 1945, p. 1968, in effect June 25, 1945, substituted provisions for transfers to the Motor Vehicle Fund during the months of January, April, July, and October of one-quarter of the moneys appropriated by the Legislature from the License Fee Fund for the support of the Department of Motor Vehicles for the fiscal year in which such distribution is made, and added a second paragraph relieving the License Fee Fund from the application of Section 11006 of the Government Code. Stats. 1947, p. 2648, in effect September 19, 1947, reworded the first paragraph (deleting the reference to transfers in specific months) and deleted the second paragraph referring to Section 11006 of the Government Code. Stats. 1971, p. 2431, operative January 1, 1972, substantially revised this section. Stats. 1980, Ch. 650, in effect July 20, 1980, operative July 1, 1982, added the second sentence. Stats. 1994, Ch. 1243, in effect September 30, 1994, but operative January 1, 1994, added "and the Franchise Tax Board" after "Department of Motor Vehicles" in the first sentence; substituted "That" for "Such" before "amount" and substituted "those" for "such" after "revenues received by" in the second sentence. Amended by Stats. 2004, Ch. 211 (SB 1096), in effect August 5, 2004.

Back to the Future
From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Back To The Future)
Back to the Future is a 1985 film about time travel. After traveling back to 1955, Marty McFly accidentally interferes with his parents' courtship and must make them fall in love... or else he will never be born.
- Directed by Robert Zemeckis. Written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale.
Doc Brown[edit]
- If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit.
- [after his time machine is a success] Ah! What did I tell you?! 88 miles per hour! The temporal displacement occurred at exactly 1:20am and 0 seconds!
- Next Saturday night, we're sending you back to the future!
- Marty: [to Jennifer] You know, this time it wasn't my fault. The Doc set all his clocks 25 minutes slow--
- Strickland: [suddenly appearing from behind] "Doc"? Am I to understand you're still hanging around with Dr. Emmett Brown, McFly? Tardy slip for you Ms. Parker. And one for you, McFly. I believe that makes four in a row. Now let me give you a nickel's worth of free advice, young man. This so called Dr. Brown is dangerous, he's a real nutcase. You hang around with him, you're gonna end up in big trouble.
- Marty: Oh, yes, sir.
- Strickland: You got a real attitude problem, McFly. You're a slacker. You remind me of your father when he went here. He was a slacker, too.
- Marty: Can I go now, Mr. Strickland?
- Strickland: I noticed your band is on the roster for the dance auditions after school today. Why even bother, McFly? You don't have a chance. You're too much like your old man. No McFly ever amounted to anything in the history of Hill Valley!
- Marty: Yeah, well, history is gonna change.
- Lorraine [about Jennifer]: I don't like her, Marty. Any girl who just calls up a boy is just asking for trouble.
- Linda: Oh, Mom, there's nothing wrong with calling a boy.
- Lorraine: I think it's terrible! Girls chasing boys. When I was your age I never chased a boy or called a boy or sat in a parked car with a boy.
- Linda: Then how am I supposed to ever meet anybody?
- Lorraine: Well, it will just happen, like the way I met your father.
- Linda: That was so stupid! Grandpa hit him with the car.
- Lorraine: [wistfully] It was meant to be. Anyway, if Grandpa hadn't hit him, then none of you would have been born.
- Linda: Yeah, well, I still don't understand what Dad was doing in the middle of the street.
- Lorraine: What was it, George? Birdwatching?
- George: What, Lorraine? What?
- Lorraine: Anyway, your Grandpa hit him with the car, and brought him into the house. He seemed so helpless, like a little lost puppy. And my heart just went out to him.
- Linda: Yeah, Mom, we know. You've told us this story a million times. You felt sorry for him, so you decided to go with him to the Fish Under the Sea dance.
- Lorraine: No, no, it was the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. Our first date. I'll never forget it. It was the night of that terrible thunderstorm, remember, George? [George wasn't listening to what Lorraine was saying] Your father kissed me for the very first time on that dance floor. And...and it was then that I realized...that I was going to spend the rest of my life with him.
- Marty: Wait a minute. Wait a minute Doc, uh, are you telling me you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?
- Doc: The way I see it, if you're going to build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style? Besides, the stainless steel construction made the flux dispersal-- [his watch beeps] Look out!
- Doc: Tell me, Future Boy, who's President of the United States in 1985?
- Marty: Ronald Reagan.
- Doc: Ronald Reagan? The actor? [rolls his eyes] Ha! Then who's vice-president, Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady?
- Marty: Whoa, wait. Doc!
- Doc: And Jack Benny is Secretary of the Treasury!
- Marty: Are you trying to tell me that my mother has got the hots for me?
- Doc: Precisely!
- Marty: Whoa, this is heavy.
- Doc: There's that word again: "heavy." Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?
- [George McFly comes to Lorraine Baines at the local diner]
- George: Lorraine. My density has brought me to you.
- Lorraine Baines: [non-plussed] What?
- George: [trying to utter line written on notebook without being caught] Oh. What I meant to say was...
- Lorraine: Wait a minute. Don't I know you from somewhere?
- George: Yes. Yes. I'm George. George McFly. I'm your density. I mean, your destiny.
- Lorraine: Oh.
- Lorraine: Marty, why are you so nervous?
- Marty: Lorraine, have you ever, uh, been in a situation where you knew you had to act a certain way, but when you got there, you didn't know if you could go through with it?
- Lorraine: You mean, like how you're supposed to act on a first date?
- Marty: Well, sort of.
- Lorraine: Oh, I, I think I know exactly what you mean.
- Marty: Y-y-you do?
- Lorraine: You know what I do in those situations?
- Marty: What?
- Lorraine: I don't worry. [kisses him hard, then stops and pulls back to see Marty is shocked] This is all wrong. I don't know what it is, but when I kiss you, it's like I'm kissing... my brother. I guess that doesn't make any sense, does it?
- Marty: Believe me, it makes perfect sense.
- Marty: What about all that talk about screwing up future events? The spacetime continuum?
- Doc: Well, I figured, what the Hell?
- Marty: Hey, Doc, we better back up. We don't have enough road to get up to 88.
- Doc: Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.
- Meet Marty McFly. He's broken the time barrier. Busted his parents' first date. And, maybe, botched his chances of ever being born.
- 17 year old Marty McFly got home early last night. 30 years early.
- Marty McFly just broke the time barrier. He's only got one week to get it fixed.
- Marty McFly's having the time of his life. The only question is -- what time is it?
- He was never in time for his classes... He wasn't in time for his dinner... Then one day... he wasn't in his time at all.
- Bumping into your parents is no big deal unless you bump into them before you were born.
- He's the only kid ever to get into trouble before he was born.
- Hello? Anybody home? Think McFly, Think!
- Michael J. Fox — Marty McFly
- Christopher Lloyd — Doc Brown
- Thomas F. Wilson — Biff Tannen
- Lea Thompson — Lorraine McFly
- Crispin Glover — George McFly
- James Tolkan — Mr. Strickland
- Donald Fullilove — Goldie Wilson
- Claudia Wells — Jennifer Parker
- Harry Waters Jr. — Marvin Berry
- Bob Zemeckis and I had written three movies together, and we had always wanted to do a time-travel story. We'd just never figured out how. What turned the light on for me was coming across my dad's old high-school yearbook and thinking, "Would we have been friends if we'd been at school together?" All of us have that revelation when we understand that our parents were young once, too. That's a big moment. Then there is the message that we all have control over our destinies. I thought we could dramatise those two things.
- It took us a while to work out how Marty McFly would travel through time, however. We knew it had to be an accident. One of the conventions of time-travel movies is that it can't turn out well if the character is doing it for any kind of personal gain. But there was no DeLorean originally. In the first two drafts it was a time-chamber apparatus. And the whole clocktower sequence at the end wasn't there: it was going to be the radiation from an explosion at a nuclear testing site that would power the time machine back to 1985. It was a bit too complicated. We also had George McFly, Marty's father, grow up to become a professional boxer after punching Biff, which didn't feel like the best solution to Marty's problems. Also, Doc Brown's inventions changed 1985 and made it much more futuristic when Marty finally got back. Without exception, our script readers had problems with that.

The Google Web Toolkit team has been asked recently about our plans following the announcement of the Dart programming language a few weeks ago.
Dart and GWT both share the goal of enabling structured web programming. In fact, many of the same engineers who brought you GWT are working on Dart. We view Dart as an ambitious evolution of GWT's mission to make web apps better for end users, and we're optimistic about its potential. As Dart evolves and becomes ready for prime time, we anticipate working closely with the GWT developer community to explore Dart.
Meanwhile, rest assured that GWT will continue to be a productive and reliable way to build the most ambitious web apps — and even games like Angry Birds. Key projects within Google rely on GWT every day, and we plan to continue improving (and open-sourcing) GWT based on their real-world needs.

- It's easy to add new, complex entities
- It's easy to define new entities in data
- It's more efficient
The ComponentA component can be likened to a C struct. It has no methods and is only capable of storing data, not acting upon it. In a typical implementation, each different component type will derive from an abstract Component class, which provides facilities for getting a component's type and containing entity at runtime. Each component describes a certain aspect of an entity and its parameters. By themselves, components are practically meaningless, but when used in conjunction with entities and systems, they become extremely powerful. Empty components are useful for tagging entities.
- Position (x, y)
- Velocity (x, y)
- Physics (body)
- Sprite (images, animations)
- Health (value)
- Character (name, level)
- Player (empty)
The EntityAn entity is something that exists in your game world. Again, an entity is little more than a list of components. Because they are so simple, most implementations won't define an entity as a concrete piece of data. Instead, an entity is a unique ID, and all components that make up an entity will be tagged with that ID. The entity is an implicit aggregation of the components tagged with its ID. If you want, you can allow components to be dynamically added to and removed from entities. This allows you to "mutate" entities on the fly. For example, you could have a spell that makes its target freeze. To do this, you could simply remove the Velocity component.
- Rock (Position, Sprite)
- Crate (Position, Sprite, Health)
- Sign (Position, Sprite, Text)
- Ball (Position, Velocity, Physics, Sprite)
- Enemy (Position, Velocity, Sprite, Character, Input, AI)
- Player (Position, Velocity, Sprite, Character, Input, Player)
The SystemNotice that I've neglected to mention any form of game logic. This is the job of the systems. A system operates on related groups of components, i.e. components that belong to the same entity. For example, the character movement system might operate on a Position, a Velocity, a Collider, and an Input. Each system will be updated once per frame in a logical order. To make a character jump, first the keyJump field of the Input data is checked. If it is true, the system will look through the contacts contained in the Collider data and check if there is one with the ground. If so, it will set the Velocity's y field to make the character jump. Because a system only operates on components if the whole group is present, components implicitly define the behaviour an entity will have. For example, an entity with a Position component but not a Velocity component will be static. Since the Movement system uses a Position and a Velocity, it won't operate on the Position contained within that entity. Adding a Velocity component will make the Movement system work on that entity, thus making the entity dynamic and affected by gravity. This behaviour can be exploited with "tag components" (explained above) to reuse components in different contexts. For example, the Input component defines generic flags for jumping, moving, and shooting. Adding an empty Player component will tag the entity for the PlayerControl system so that the Input data will be populated based on controller inputs.
- Movement (Position, Velocity) - Adds velocity to position
- Gravity (Velocity) - Accelerates velocity due to gravity
- Render (Position, Sprite) - Draws sprites
- PlayerControl (Input, Player) - Sets the player-controlled entity's input according to a controller
- BotControl (Input, AI) - Sets a bot-controlled entity's input according to an AI agent
ConclusionTo wrap up, OOP-based entity hierarchies need to be left behind in favour of Component-Entity-Systems. Entities are your game objects, which are implicitly defined by a collection of components. These components are pure data and are operated on in functional groups by the systems. I hope I've managed to help you to understand how Component-Entity-Systems work, and to convince you that they are better than traditional OOP. If you have any questions about the article, I'd appreciate a comment or message. A follow-up article has been posted, which provides a sample C implementation and solves some design problems.

You might think it presumptuous of me to make this request. I'm not a Missouri voter, after all. But I am a conservative woman. And what you said about rape reveals not just muddled thinking but deep ignorance on many levels. You don't help conservative women, sir, with such thinking. You hurt us.
As a conservative woman, I've fought against the phony "war on women" charges from the left. I've defended Sarah Palin, even when some conservative men hemmed and hawed about whether she was really qualified while giving a nod and a wink to lesser pols, who happened to be men.
I've defended pro-life positions even though I don't agree with them on every single abortion policy. I've defended the Catholic Church's stance on the HHS contraception coverage mandate, even though I don't agree with the Church's teachings on that issue.
And I've done all this as part of the sisterhood of conservative women, who often–I venture to say–feel alone in the battle, unable to count on liberal feminists to champion our right to be heard if we're not conforming with their reproductive policy stances.
With your statements, you've made our battle harder. We can defend conservative issues even if we don't agree with every policy point, but we can't defend a conservative man who is so profoundly ignorant of the impact of rape and even the simple biology of conception!
What you said was more than just a verbal stumble. It was indicative of deeper misunderstandings of what women face.
Your Twitter feed suggests you will fight on because we need a "conservative Senate." Yes, we do, Mr. Akin. Conservative women know this, as well. And we know that you're not the man to help us get there. Don't confuse perseverance with egotism. If you truly support conservative values, admit you made a terrible mistake that can't be shrugged off and step aside for a better candidate. You only received a plurality of the vote in the primary. Surely Missouri Republicans will admire you for the honorable act of withdrawing from the race, and one day, when you are wiser, you can try again.

Hi, I have been trying to find decent suppliers of abs or similar materials to build my armour for a Jango and Boba costume. I was told I can heat abs with a heat gun and mould it. I also have some parts of the armour already (a guy sc*ewed me over on ebay) and it is in some bad shape. I can correct the mistakes if I can get tome abs to edit the messed up armour.
If anyone can offer any advice or help, I would be most grateful. Also if someone could direct me to where I can get a decent Jango and Boba Lid from as the one I got (Conned) from ebay is a kids lid and not a proper one.

Hi All,
First time poster so please be gentle :)
I'm changing schools (and country) and it's quite difficult finding independent info on the schools themselves. Is there a school review forum somewhere or is it all a little ad hoc and people just ask as and when they need info?
Any help appreciated. I've worked in the same school for too long now and want to know that the next one will be better. No idea how to find this out though.
Thanks for reading :) and maybe even replying :))

World Asthma Day: RTs Are On the Job!
April 26, 2012
The whole world will be turning its attention to asthma on Tuesday, May 1, as we mark this year's World Asthma Day. For respiratory therapists, that means a great opportunity to network with fellow health care providers and the general public alike to let them know more about the vital role RTs play in the care of asthma patients.
It's also the perfect time to hone your own asthma management skills using resources from your professional association.
You can find all this and more right here on AARC.org:
World Asthma Day is sponsored every year by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA). In addition to the AARC resources noted above, you can find lots of resources on the GINA Activity Planning webpages, including ideas for activities, an activity planning guide, and tips on reaching the media.

Strange that we suddenly have quite a few first time posters asking the documents to be published or claiming that they've had problems with their gear.

We're not sure whether or not we'll post the rest of the internal documents we have in our possession. If you think there's value in us doing so, please sound off in our forum.

Unfortunately, some people can see things differently than others. Its not clear cut as to the definition of a design flaw. If a product does not work forever, is it because of a design flaw? If a product works for a period of time beyond the warranty, is it a design flaw? We'd all like our items to work forever, but it does not happen. Where we worked, a person who was not qualified and did not understand the technical issues started up a web site and was notifying newspapers of a big problem, and showed a stolen video of a test of the product bursting into flames. We were, in fact, trying to test the design limits and see what it took to do just that. We then modified the product so it could pass that test. The person had left the company by then and did not have the complete picture, much less a understanding of what he saw. The newspaper reporters asked what the issue was, and we brought them in and showed them everything, the failures and the fix. Of course, the person involved then accused them of being bought off. Some people are that way, so its best to investigate rather than spreading information that might be incomplete, or even biased. Since CR is not a investigative agency, it might be best to turn it over to a newspaper or Attorney General, or both. Since Canon USA is in New York, that state might be a place to start. Same with Canada, start in Ontario. Let them investigate or at least ask for a explanation first. I'd be one who was very cautious about releasing stolen documents that can't be confirmed. I'd suggest to the leaker that he submit them to someone else, maybe he has and the others found them to be unreliable?

This technological improvement provides a more cinematic viewing experience.
Wide Color Enhancer Plus: Wide Color Enhancer Plus allows you to see picture color the way the director originally intended. Witness the entire RGB spectrum brought to life on your screen to bring you exceptionally vibrant, yet natural-looking images faithful to the director's original intent.
600Hz Subfield Motion: The Samsung E7000 series Plasma TV features 600Hz Subfield Motion technology with a fast 0.001ms response time that minimizes blurring of fast motion in sports programming and movie content. The 600Hz Subfield Motion technology makes action more life-like and natural looking. Action scenes and sporting events are crisp, clear and picture perfect. 600Hz Subfield Motion flashes a single image up to 600 times a second creating unprecedented picture quality. Contours are crisper and scrolling text sharper; no matter how fast images are moving. Fast action scenes are both clear with rich deep color detail.
Cinema Smooth: Movies are shot at 24 fps (frames per second); Cinema Smooth is a refined playback process of 24p movies from Blu-ray and Satellite TV sources that accurately converts and displays content originally shot on film at 24fps as compared to the 30fps of DVD and Blu-ray disc. This allows for smoother motion scenes when watching sources shot at the standard movie rate of 24fps.
HDTV Tuner: The TV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and Digital Cable (QAM) tuners, so you don't need a separate set-top box to receive and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or unencrypted Digital Cable signals.
1080p Resolution: The Samsung E7000 series Plasma TV displays all inputs at a resolution of 1080p (1920 x 1080). The television's HDMI and component video inputs will accept 1080p (24/60Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i video signals.
HDMI (MHL) Port: The HDMI 3 port is designed for the connection of select mobile phones and other portable electronic devices using the new MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) standard. Simply plug your MHL compatible smartphone into the TV's HDMI 3 (MHL) port using the HDMI cable that is included with your mobile phone. MHL allows you to display full 1080p video and still images on the Samsung TV from your mobile smartphone. The TV's IR remote can be used to control basic playback functions (such as Play/Pause, Stop Fast Forward/Rewind, and Menu navigation). Your MHL compliant device will also charge while connected to the TV's HDMI 3 port. To find MHL-certified devices, go to www.mhlconsortium.org.
Full HD 3D (via HDMI 1.4): The Samsung E7000 series Plasma TV offers Full HD (1080p) 3D capability.

The Samsung E7000 series Plasma TV automatically adjusts the overall picture to provide an optimal 3D effect. The Samsung 3D TV also offers a unique feature that allows you to intensify your 2D viewing experience by up-converting it to virtual 3D. In addition, you can adjust the overall 3D perspective (+/-5) and overall 3D image depth (1-10). Samsung 3D TV supports Full HD 3D for 1920 x 2205p (24Hz) or 1280 x 1470p (60Hz) video signals; and virtual 3D for 1920 x 1080p (24/30/60Hz), 1920 x 1080i (60Hz), or 1280 x 720p (60hz) video signals.

The Samsung's 3D Active Glasses provide a viewing range between 6' and 19.5' from the Samsung 3D-ready TV.
Note: If the 3D glasses move outside of the recommended operating distance, the signal from the TV will be disconnected and the display of the 3D glasses will turn off after several seconds. If you lie on your side while watch TV with 3D glasses, the picture may look dark or may not be visible. When viewing 3D video under fluorescent lighting (50-60Hz), you may notice a small amount of screen flickering.

Note: Screen Size settings can be stored for each external device you have connected to an input of the TV.
Picture Control: You can make the following adjustments for an optimum picture.
Note: You can adjust and store Picture Settings for each external device connected to the TV.

|Main Picture
|Sub Picture
|External Input: Component or HDMI
|TV: Antenna input
Note: PIP does not function in the same mode.
SRS TruSurround HD: SRS TruSurround HD is a patented SRS technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience through any two-speaker playback system, including the internal television speakers. It is fully compatible with all multichannel formats.

Equalizer: You can manually adjusts the TV's built-in 5-band EQ (100 Hz, 300 Hz, 1 kHz, 3 kHz, and 10 kHz) for a more customized sound.
Auto Volume: Auto Volume automatically adjusts the volume of the desired channel, lowering the sound output when the modulation signal is high or raising the sound output when the modulation signal is low. This reduces the difference in volume when changing channels. The Auto Volume feature can be set to Normal, Night or Off.
Audio Delay: The Audio Delay function corrects audio/video mismatch, when watching TV or video, and listening to a digital audio output using an external device such as an AV receiver. You can adjust the audio delay from 0ms to 250 ms.
Digital Audio: The optical digital output terminal will output Dolby Digital (when available) or 2 channel PCM. The digital optical output terminal only sends an audio signal in Dolby Digital when receiving Dolby Digital surround sound from a digital broadcast channel through the tuner on the Plasma TV. The optical digital audio output will only output in 2ch stereo from sources connected to the TV via HDMI, RCA, or USB.
ARC (Audio Return Channel): The Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4 enables a TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data "upstream" to an A/V receiver; increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection. This feature allows audio to be sent from the television to your A/V receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio/video to the television. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to the TV. ARC allows audio from the TV tuner, Network connection, inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any analog connected device to be heard through your ARC compatible AV receiver via the television's HDMI ARC input. The audio from the TV's tuner, network connection can pass as Dolby Digital or 2ch PCM. HDMI, USB, and analog connected devices will be output as 2ch PCM only.
Note: Both the television and the receiver must support ARC for this function to work properly. When connecting an A/V receiver that is compatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC), connect it to the TV's HDMI 2 input. If connecting a system that is incompatible Audio Return Channel (ARC), an additional audio connection via Digital Audio Out (Optical) is necessary.
Network Connection (wired/wireless): You can set up the Samsung E7000 series Plasma TV so that it can access your home network and online Samsung Apps through your local area network (LAN) using a wired (RJ-45 Ethernet) or wireless connection (built-in WiFi). You can setup a wired network connection automatically or manually. You can setup the wireless network connection using these four methods; PBC (WPS), Auto Network Search, One Foot, or Manually.
Note: The TV's built-in WiFi supports IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless LAN networks and WEP (open/shared), WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES), WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES) network security.
WiFi Direct: When using WiFi Direct, you can connect directly with other devices without using a wireless router. You'll be able to wirelessly transfer personal content (such as photos & videos) to the Samsung Plasma TV without connecting to your home network. WiFi Direct completely bypasses your WiFi access point/router, so it's easy to set up. Streaming of copy-protected content and other certain formats are not supported.
AllShare/DLNA Certified: The Samsung E7000 series Plasma TV's AllShare function, along with its DLNA Certification allow you to watch videos (DIVX/MPEG/H.264/WMV), photos (JPEG/PNG/BMP/MPO)), and listen to music (MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC/OGG) saved on your Windows PC (or other DLNA Certified media server) through the TV via its Ethernet (LAN) port or built-in WiFi (wireless). This eliminates the need to copy your photo, video, and music files to a separate USB storage device.
Note: Windows PCs with XP and Vista installed require Samsung's PC Share Manager software, which can be downloaded for free at www.samsung.com. Not compatible with older Windows OS versions and Mac.
Samsung's Dual Core Processor: Samsung's Dual Core's processing speeds allow you to perform multiple tasks at the same time, such as using an app while downloading another one.

Hello Everyone!
I am enrolled in a TEFL Certification course at Benedict School in Saint-Petersburg this October. This is my first time traveling abroad, as well as my first post on a TEFL forum. That being said, this whole process is completely new to me. I was wondering if anyone had any experience taking courses, teaching, or even living in Saint-Petersburg as a foreigner that they would like to share. Also, if anyone has any information on specific schools in Saint-Petersburg for employment after certification. Any information would be appreciated! Thanks!

Sure, celebs are always hooking up and breaking up. But these couples were so cute, we couldn't help but feel crushed when they split.
12 Celebrity Couples You'll Ship Forever No Matter What
The Amazing Spider-Man co-stars were the definition of #RelationshipGoals: They photobombed fans' instas, trolled the paparazzi for charity, and generally just made us fall in love with them every time they were together, because they were just so freakin' cute! But after Emma made a series of red carpet appearance sans Andrew, including to the Academy Awards where she was nominated for an Oscar, it looked like there might be trouble in paradise. At first it sounded like they were just on a break, but then the heartbreaking news came that the two had really, actually broken up for realz after more than three years of dating. Sources said Emma reportedly ended things with Andrew after he had supposedly been in a "dark place" for months while filming his latest movie.
We were supes shocked to hear that Ariana and Big Sean split. Seriously, these two were sooooo in love and there was even some talk about marriage, but shortly after seemingly getting past that weird Justin Bieber drama flawlessly, the news broke that they had split. But then their reps jointly confirmed the breakup
, saying: "They both deeply care for each other and remain close friends. We kindly ask that the media respect their wish for privacy regarding this personal matter at this time." BRB, still crying.

An American military lawyer who has been involved in numerous Guantanamo tribunals is prepared to openly express his disgust with the unconstitutional procedures occurring at the prison. The whistle blower, a major who is thoroughly familiar with the entire Guantanamo operation, described the detention of a hospital administrator from Sudan as "unconscionable." The major says that in rare circumstances when it was decided that a detainee was no longer an enemy combatant, senior commanders ordered another panel in order to over rule the decision. He reports "acrimony" during a "heated conference" call from Admiral McGarragh, who reports to the Secretary of the US Navy, when a panel refused to describe several Uighur detainees as enemy combatants. Senior military commanders wanted to know how they could disagree with a previous designation that the Uighur were enemy combatants. The major told the admiral it was good for the system that people actually disagreed and received no response to his comment.
The Sudanese hospital admintstrator, Abdel Hamad,has been held for five years without any evidence that he participated in terrorist activities. His lawyers came across a sworn statement from a member of a military panel who said he was frightened of retaliation if he allowed his name to be used in the case. The major who is ready to speak out will have his chance on December 5 before the US Supreme Court when an attempt is made to shut down the prison. According to Michael Ratner, president of the Centre for Constitutional Rights, the Guantanamo prison, "It's a kangaroo court system and completely corrupt. Stalin had show trials but at Guantanamo they are not even show trials because it all takes place in secret." Such is the American system of justice under the Bush administration.

Finding Out Who Owns the Property
Authored By: Texas RioGrande Legal Aid
- Read this in:
- Spanish / Español
As a tenant, you have the right to know the name and address of the owner of the premises. You also have the right to know the name and street address of any property management company that is managing your house or apartment. The landlord may satisfy the duty of disclosure by providing you with a written copy of the information, by having the information posted continuously in a conspicuous place in the apartment complex or resident manager's office, or by having the information included in your copy of the written lease agreement or house rules.
If you want to know the name and address of the owner and property management company for your apartment or house, you should first see if the information is in your lease or posted in the office. If it is not, then request the information from the manager. Your notice need not be in writing unless your written lease agreement requires it, but it is always better to put the request in writing and keep a copy for your records. If the landlord fails to provide the information you requested in one week, you should give another written notice that if the information is not furnished to you within seven more days, you may exercise the remedies provided by the Texas Property Code.
If you were current on your rent when you gave the notices and the landlord has not complied with your second notice after seven days (or intentionally gave you incorrect information), you may sue the landlord for a court order that: (1) requires the landlord to disclose the information; (2) awards to you your actual costs incurred in discovering the information; (3) imposes a penalty against the landlord in the amount of one month's rent plus $100; and (4) awards you attorney's fees and court costs. You may also terminate the lease agreement without court proceedings. You may also sue your landlord if your landlord furnished an incorrect name or address of the owner or property management company by willfully posting or stating wrong information, or by willfully failing to correct information known by the landlord to be incorrect. You may sue your landlord under these circumstances even if your rent is past due.

Sean, Sean, Sean, please. Granted, the cell phone is one of the cleverest, most profitable gimmicks ever created. But one simply has to consider it's degrading effects upon society: the increase in public boorishness, the diefication of banality, radical increase in danger on our highways, etc. And now bees perhaps. Why?Seriously though, my wife and I run extremely successful businesses, have 3 kids (2 in college), run a farm, coach soccer and lead perfectly contented lives - all without a cell phone. We have opted to resist the herd rush to own yet another toy...and instead we have an amazing freedom.
You wouldn't stereo type would you?

VoIP is going to be the boom market over the next few years as the aging PBX systems are going to be replaced.
More and more small to medium size companies are looking to replace their systems with VoIP.
Going hand in hand with VoIP would be CCNA, since Cisco has a large amount of VoIP equipment. It can't hurt to learn both.

Hey everyone! long time no see! Finally back on the boards and bothering you all for help and advice on doing a Zam build. It is for my fiancee and though we want to make it as "accurate" as possible, we still have a budget to consider, so I will need to cut a few corners here and there.
My initial question is, since this is going to be mainly for cons and maybe a few fun events throughout the year, What do you all recommend for the body suit? I understand that Stretchhouse and neoprene are the ideal material, but has anybody found a thinner, more form fitting spandex-like material that will breathe better, bunch in the arms and knees less and be more comfortable to wear?
Please feel free to PM me with any makers/sources/tutorials that you have found helpful. I would greatly appreciate it
Looking forward to starting this project and will be posting updates/photos as I go along! Can't wait to have a Zam by my side while at events


text: So here's the deal. My tun signals dont work. At all. No lights on the dash for them or any of that. However the Hazard light still currently work. I have replaced every single fuse in the block under the dash. Changed the Relay. and installed a new Signal switch from German Auto Parts. The plug-in for the Turn Signal stalk doesnt look corroded. I think It could be a ground issue but then the Hazard lights should not work either in that situation. Checking the bulbs is pointless. Being that all light up when using the flashers. I'm really hoping somebody can help here. I'm about to rip the fuse block out. However again. Relay for the Flasher and the Turns are the same thing. I'd think if one works both should work. Thanks for the Help in advance!

Great pedal. Excellent price
By T n T
from Jerome, Idaho
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Shimano A520 Sport/Touring Road Pedals:
We use SPD pedals on our tandem. We wear mountain shoes as they are easier to walk in than road shoes. We like to stop a wineries, shops, and scenic sites on our rides. These pedals are light. They also have a larger platform that is more comfortable. I thought being only one sided they might be difficult to clip in, but that is no problem.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Shimano SPD Road
By Bob
from St. Louis
Switched from MTB SPDs to these SPD A520 Road pedals. I have recessed cleats and the new road pedals take a bit getting used to as far as clipping in. More of a learning curve on my part. Once clipped in, all is good.
These pedals feel fine and look good.

Nice Pedals
By Stan
from Colorado
These cleats are very nice for the $. If you get hot spots or numbness in your feet these may be the solution as they tend to do a good job with applying pressure across a larger area of the foot.

From toe clips to road pedals
By Jan from CT
from Winsted, CT
I had been using the toe clips over the pedal which were harder to use than these. I was able to get me shoe attached to the pedal right away. They are also easy to take off. My husband attached them and did all the work but he said it was easy.
Great cross platform road cleat
By Greenrider
from Cape may n.j.
These are a great cross platform cleat. I have road bikes, mountain bikes and hybrid bikes. Using one cleat for all bikes just makes sense. im not racing but I enjoy my long rides and short commutes.
Durable Pedal
I`ve been using these pedals for 5 years and they are holding up great. Very durable. They needed breaking in at first, but once I had a couple thousand miles use on them they clip and unclip easy and spin easy. Good pedal.
Pretty Good, check bolts after each ride
By HikeCyclePhoto
from Western North Carolina
Recently got these for road riding, and generally like them. They are supposed ot be used with recessed-sole road shoes, but I got flat-bottom shoes because shoe selection seemed fairly limited for the two-bolt cleat pattern. That might be the reason for the following issue-- not sure, but I've left a message with ShimanoThat said, the cleats clip in very easily with pedals set for low tension. My only issue is with unclipping. My right shoe unclips easily; the left not so easily. Yesterday, I had trouble clipping in on the left side. When I stopped to take a break, I was unable to unclip the left shoe, even after unclipping and standing on my right foot. So, I had to open the Velcro shoe closures, remove my foot from the shoe (While standing on one foot-- not so easy. Then, I was just able to twist the left shoe out of the pedal. The reason? One bolt was gone from the cleat; the other was loose, as was the cleat. I was lucky enough to have the correct hex wrench to tighten the lone bolt, and finish my ride with no problem.Check bolts after every ride!

The RollBak Retractable Tonneau Covers have an extremely durable black, baked on powder coat finish, and weather seals in long lasting, super elastic, highest quality EPDM rubber. These weather seals do not deteriorate, fade, crack or warp. They ensure perfect all-season weather-proofing, withstanding both freezing cold and extreme, scorching sunshine. A drainage system is built into the rails and the canister, keeping the truck bed dry no matter what the weather is. The RollBak Covers have a felt-lined underside, protecting the finish when the cover is rolled into the canister. The low-profile canister also has a built-in brush that sweeps off leaves and debris from the top of the cover when it is rolled into the canister. The covers roll on self-adjusting rails that set themselves parallel the first time you roll out the cover, ensuring smooth and easy operation at all times. Teflon tracks and a pre-loaded spring, with tension set by the factory, makes it easy to operate the RollBak cover even if you have parked the truck on a steep incline. The RollBak covers are also compatible with bed liners, bed extenders and even with a special version of the BakBox toolbox.
The RollBak Retractable Tonneau Covers offer state of the art security. The strong aluminum panels make for a cover of unsurpassed strength that make potential thieves choose other targets. A dual latching system automatically locks the cover when it reaches the tailgate position. Lock the tailgate and your truck bed is fully secured. The latching mechanisms are located under the cover, always being protected from both weather and tampering, preventing them from deterioration over time. The canister holding the rolled up tonneau is designed to leave maximum free space in the truck bed. In most trucks it leaves a foot of free loading space under the canister. The cover winds up tightly and no space is wasted in the canister. The canister is impact resistant and will not ding, in spite of its vulnerable position in front of the loads being carried. This is crucial to smooth operation and is yet another feature that sets the RollBak system apart from most other roll-up tonneau systems. In addition to the ingenious engineering, the RollBak system also is the most esthetically pleasing truck bed cover around. The cover fits flush with the top of the truck bed, the elegant and durable surface finish complementing the looks of any truck. The snugly fitting cover also gives the truck a sleeker shape, making for improved fuel economy by 7-10%. The RollBak cover is extremely easy to install. It is a simple bolt-on design, with a 15 mm spanner being the only tool you need. The roll-up spring and rail settings, and the assembly of latches and draw straps are all done at the factory. This makes for a very user-friendly installation experience.
If you want the best of the best, this is the roll-up tonneau cover to buy! It oozes of quality through and through. The smooth, reliable opening and closing that won't let you down in any conditions is easy to handle even on the steepest inclines. You can rest assured that you will never have to fight a jamming cover, as the self-adjusting rails always stay parallel, which is the key to smooth operation of a roll-up tonneau cover. The design is well thought out to the minutest detail, from the choice of tough aluminum profiles for the cover slats, making the cover almost indestructible, to the ding-proof canister and the easy installation. Even the packaging is specially designed and thought out, to make sure your RollBak arrives to your door in pristine condition. This is the Tonneau Cover of choice for the most discerning truck owners, who want to transform their trucks from good to great.

Part assignments (assignments of the form mat[[1,2]] = value) will
also work fine. For example:
In[1]:= pop = Array[e, {3, 3}]
Out[1]= {{e[1, 1], e[1, 2], e[1, 3]}, {e[2, 1], e[2, 2], e[2, 3]},
> {e[3, 1], e[3, 2], e[3, 3]}}
In[2]:= pop[[2,2]] = value
Out[2]= value
In[3]:= pop
Out[3]= {{e[1, 1], e[1, 2], e[1, 3]}, {e[2, 1], value, e[2, 3]},
> {e[3, 1], e[3, 2], e[3, 3]}}
The fact that you got the Part::setps message indicates that you must
have used a part assignment to assign parts to the value of something
that wasn't a symbol. Part assignments only work with symbols.
In[4]:= mat[3] = Array[e, {3, 3}]
Out[4]= {{e[1, 1], e[1, 2], e[1, 3]}, {e[2, 1], e[2, 2], e[2, 3]},
> {e[3, 1], e[3, 2], e[3, 3]}}
In[5]:= mat[3][[2,2]] = value
Part::setps: mat[3] in assignment of part is not a symbol.
Out[5]= value
Also, the content of the message
{{1, 1, 0, 0}, <<1>>}
in assignment of part is not a symbol.
indicates that the left-hand side of the assignment was not only not
a part of a symbol, it was part of a fully evaluated matrix. There
are several ways that this could happen, as in
In[9]:= {{1, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1, 1}}[[1, 1]] = value
Part::setps: {{1, 1, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 1, 1}}
in assignment of part is not a symbol.
Out[9]= value
but in order to know exactly what to do about it we'd have to see
the rest of your example. There are easy ways to do all of this,
and the stuff that you described should work fine, so something
else significant must be going on.

Google's Project Glass deserves plaudits for innovation, not just for the device itself but also for the process by which Google is developing and marketing the product. Studying product strategy and marketing as a Forrester analyst for almost nine years, I have never seen a company do what Google is doing: launch an entirely new form factor in such a transparent, inclusive way.
The Google Glass Rollout
A bit of history: Google debuted Project Glass publicly in April 2012, first on Google Plus and then on Sergey Brin at a charity event for fighting blindness later that week. From the beginning, Google X (the R&D lab that developed Glass) asked for feedback from the public on its Google Plus page.
At Google I/O last June, Google demoed videos taken with Glass while skydiving and mountain biking (notably, the top comment on YouTube as I write this article is how Glass will revolutionize POV porn) and offered developers an opportunity to buy an "Explorer Edition" for $1,500.
Google Glass In The Real World

The head of the body responsible for monitoring teaching standards in Great Britain will make an impassioned plea today for relesing children in schools from the stranglehold of the national curriculum and give teachers the freedom to decide what should be taught. Keith Bartley, chief executive of the General Teaching Council, (GTC) will warn that the current primary school timetable presents pupils with lessons that are "too formal, too early." He will urge a relaxation of the strict regime based on tests, targets and league tables may be the best way to motivate and inspire children. Mr. Bartley believes education is "at a crossroads" after decades of an education system which has been "prescriptive of the curriculum, assessment and testng and latterly of teachng methods."
As one who has taught for 51 years, I can only cheer the statements of Bartley. His comments came just before a debate at the Teachers and Lecturers conference where a royal commission is investigating why so many children dislike school. Parents told the inquiry "teachers should be allowed flexibility to decide how and what they teach, to inspire themselves and the children."
Teachers come in all shapes and abilities as do people in every occupation. One doubts if business leaders like Billy Gates chart out in detail what their creative researchers should say and do. Instead, they trust the ability of individuals who have been trained to use their creative thinking talents to uncover new ways of developing industry. The same freedom is required for teachers. If there are incompetent teachers, one has hired princpals and department chairpeople to focus on assisting them while allowing competent and brilliant educators to use their talents in order to energize students.
