Microsoft today announced that it had wrapped up work on Windows 7 SP1 (Service Pack 1), and would start delivering the major upgrade on Feb. 22 through Windows Update.
The company said it had reached the "release to manufacturing," or RTM milestone for both Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, and was shipping the code to PC and server makers today.
[ Get all the details you need on deploying and using Windows 7 in the InfoWorld editors' 21-page Windows 7 Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay abreast of key Microsoft technologies in our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
Customers who subscribe to either TechNet or the Microsoft Software Developer Network (MSDN) can download Windows 7 SP1 starting Wednesday, Feb. 16, the same day companies with volume license agreements can grab the upgrade.
The general public must wait until Tuesday, Feb. 22, when SP1 hits the Windows Update service. Microsoft typically reserves the last Tuesday of each month for shipping non-security updates.
Microsoft announced Windows 7 SP1 less than a year ago and delivered a public beta of SP1 in July 2010.
When it issued a "release candidate," or RC build of SP1 last October, Computerworld predicted that Microsoft would ship the completed upgrade no later than the end of February.
Microsoft has said several times that Windows 7 SP1 would not include any new features specific to the operating system, but would instead be composed of the security patches and nonsecurity fixes that had already been issued via Windows Update.
The only additions to SP1 include an updated Remote Desktop client designed to work with RemoteFX, a new technology that debuts with Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. RemoteFX is designed to improve the graphics performance of Windows 7 virtual machines hosted on Server 2008 R2 SP1 systems. Windows 7 SP1 also supports "Dynamic Memory," a feature in Server 2008 R2 SP1 that lets IT staff adjust guest virtual machines' memory on the fly.
Today, Microsoft touted the benefits of Windows 7 SP1 to corporations, claiming that RemoteFX and Dynamic Memory would let computer makers design and sell low-cost clients that run Windows 7 in a virtual machine.
"These technologies will drive down the endpoint cost and reduce endpoint power consumption," said Michael Kleef, a senior technical product manager with the Windows Server group, in a blog post.

Ad buyers want to know their ads are indeed seen by target audiences. Publishers want and need advertising money and one could only think that in order to receive it, they would offer relevant statistics. Well, it looks like things aren't as simple as that, as a new report that analyzed actual buys made across 425,000 sites and included display, video, mobile and social network ads shows.
The "Q3 Market Pulse" report made by Accordant shows that in this quarter only 29% of the biddable inventory disclosed whether the ads were viewable. This percent is revealing a constant decrease, from 32% in the second quarter, and from approximately 40% in prior quarters. These numbers are rather intriguing as in this period advertising agencies and trade groups look for "viewability" – meaning advertisers would only pay for ads that are seen.
"Publishers can opt to set that setting and disclose that position, but some publishers have actually tightened back the reins," said Craig Schinn, vice president-analytics at Accordant.
"We think they're hurting themselves by blocking the data, because they're blocking themselves from being on the plan," stated Accordant CEO Art Muldoon. "We have clients who only want viewable ads, and if we don't have that data, we can't put them on the plan for those clients."
Google Adwords are famous and their model preffed and handsomely paid for due to the fact that advertisers know they are paying only for those ads that get clicked. With such a competition, publishers should try to provide information on what type of ads are really working on their websites in order to create and maintain a win-win long-term collaboration with advertisers.

I first posted this on the DIR-625 forum, but I think it is significant enough to post separately. This may be the next really useful tool on any network, especially to make any USB device available to anyone on your network. I think D-Link should look at providing a USB hub with multiple ports with power to their new routers.
Quoted from DIR-625 discussion: "I'm really happy with this unit. The USB port is awesome. I added a USB Hub to the port and now I have a printer, a Seagate FreeAgent Drive, and I have also tried a thumb drive, and a USB drive removed from an old laptop and inserted into a GigaWare (RadioShack) 2.5" IDE drive enclosure that is powered through the USB port. All work great. I'm going to try other USB devices like a Wacom graphics tablet and a scanner. It seems as though any USB device will work fine, unlike trying to use a network print server, which may or may not work correctly."
I am looking at putting a DIR-625 in a small office on our network to act as a wireless AP for that office and its laptops (so they don't need ethernet connections) and so that all the computers on the wired and wireless connections can have access to a scanner, color printer, laser printer, fax, and network storage without a single wired connection (USB cables from the older USB devices to a USB hub plugged into the DIR-625, or any other D-Link router with the programmable USB port). There is a small client app on each computer to make the USB connection across the network and only one user at a time can connect to any single USB device, but it is great for a laptop to come in and print or scan something when needed.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.

WARREN TWP. Peter Rienzi may not be disabled himself but he's a hero to the disabled community nonetheless.
The township resident was recently named Silver Manager of the Year by the National Business and Disability Council (NBDC) for his work on improving opportunities for the disabled at Newark-based Prudential.
For Rienzi, who's worked at Prudential since 1977, it's a way to maximize resources at the 38,000-employee company. He's helped create guidelines to make "job A in New Jersey the same as job A in California," with equal access for the disabled in both cases.
He said he has received "an average of 500" different requests for accommodating the disabled each year since Prudential established the 60-member unit in 1997. Not only does the company accommodate such differences working in areas such as workmen's compensaion, short-term and long-term disabilities and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act but it seeks to recruit such people as part of diversity measures.
Prudential has created a toll-free hotline for disabled employees to call for help in specific situations, said Rienzi, who previously worked for Prudential's division of employee benefits and was director of its executive education programs.
Psychology Background
Rienzi's academic background is in psychology. That was his undergraduate major at Fairleigh Dickinson University's now-closed Rutherford campus, and he followed that with a master's degree in industrial psychology at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken.
The group that gave Rienzi the honor, NBDC, is primarily comprised of Fortune 1000 companies that seek to successfully integrate the disabled into the workforce .
Rienzi and his wife Debra have two sons, both attending the Pingry School. Robert, 17, attends the Upper School in Martinsville, while Stephen, 6, attends the Lower School in Short Hills. The family resides on Mount Horeb Road.

"Nice place to work!"
- Work/Life Balance
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
Our store is individually owned and the franchisees are fair and hard working.
The menu can not be changed except from the top down. We have had small suggestions from customers such as adding choc. milk to the menu. When we take initiative to add this we are reminded that we can only sell approved products.
Advice to Management
good field management support. You are able to run operations with some flexibility. Depending on area management, you will get great support and great direction.
Poor management decisions from the very top. Gross tv commercials. Marketing not thought out. Reinventing the wheel. Not a people first business. A lot of wasted money in jobs that do not need to exsist. Poor support from corporate office. Ripping off customers for a .80 cent piece of meat. Poor quality of life, great if you want to live there for 65 hours a week. The company is grasping at straws to stay in business.
Advice to Management
great person to work with.
lots of hours available to work, the basic tasks of work are very easy, the hours aren't too horrific like at McDonald's or Blockbuster, the store is closed on holidays unlike other places, managers can be very friendly and easy to get along with
rude and impatient customers, low pay, greasy environment, high temperature in the kitchen area, coworkers that don't care or very low intelligence, uniforms that you have to pay to have cleaned, not much room for promotion to satisfying job
Advice to Management
if they really want to be fast casual and not fast food they should modify restaurants to mirror this change, i.e. get rid of drive thru lane

I want to participate in Jump START. How do I enroll in the program?
- You must apply for the MSU summer term. If you applied for, and were denied admission for the fall semester, you will not be required to pay an additional application fee. You can apply online – If you applied for the fall semester, you can use the login and PIN you created when you first applied.
- Wait for a letter from Admissions congratulating you on your acceptance for summer 2017. It will include an agreement form for you to sign and return. Once we receive your signed form, you will be admitted to the Jump START Program (based on availability, as the program is limited to seventy-five participants).
What if I want to live on campus in the summer?
We welcome you to live on campus! Residence Life, Housing and Dining Services will begin sending information about summer options for living on-campus in April. On-campus living is recommended, but not required for summer.
How much does it cost to participate in Jump START?
Students will be responsible for normal tuition, student services fees, and room and board. There are no additional fees for participating in Jump START.
Cost estimate: Tuition and fees for 7 credit hours will be approximately $1652 for in-state and $3297 for out-of–state students. Room and Board is approximately $1,812 for double occupancy and a 19 meal-per-week plan with the lowest cost Boomer meal plan. Textbooks will be an additional $300-$500. These are estimates. Please check details available at www.missouristate.edu/costs.
Is financial aid available in the summer?
Yes. Financial aid is available to qualified students. To be considered for aid for the summer session, you must complete the 2016-17 FAFSA. MSU considers the summer 2017 session to be part of the 2016-17 academic year. To be considered for aid for the fall 2017 and spring 2018 semesters, please also complete a 2017-18 FAFSA (available beginning in January 2017). You can access the FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov
Please direct all financial aid questions to the Office of Student Financial Aid at 417-836-5262 or 800-283-4243.
Will I receive college credit for the classes I take in the summer?
Yes. You will be taking regular MSU courses. However, students who place into ENG 100 (a preparatory step for ENG 110, a general education requirement) based on English ACT sub scores will receive credit hours for the course, but those hours will not count toward graduation requirements. The English Department requires all students with an English ACT sub score below 18 to take ENG 100, a course that provides a beneficial foundation for further writing intensive classes.
Are summer classes different from classes taught during the fall and spring semesters?
The only difference is that the summer semester is half as long as a regular semester, so courses meet twice as often. Therefore, enrollment in six hours is considered full-time in the summer (12 or more hours is considered full-time for the fall and spring). The course content, however, is the same. Also, during the summer, you will attend classes Monday through Thursday only.
If I attend Jump START, am I automatically admitted for fall?
Yes, conditionally. We assume you will be successful in completing the requirements (see below) in the summer to continue conditional enrollment in the fall. During the summer you will need to schedule an advising appointment with your academic advisor to enroll in fall classes. However, if you do not pass your classes and achieve a minimum 2.5 GPA in the summer, your fall enrollment will be cancelled.
What are the requirements that I must meet?
- You must register for and attend summer school Student Orientation, Advisement, and Registration (SOAR) on June 9, 2017. 2.
- Attend the summer school session June 12-Aug. 4. 3.
- Complete 7 credit hours of rigorous course work such as math, English, and IDS 118: Enhancing Learning Techniques of College Life. You will be pre-enrolled in your classes.
- Take part in special activities provided.
- Be officially "Exploratory/Undeclared" to work with your academic advisor to explore majors and plan fall classes.
- Spend a minimum of five hours per week in the Bear CLAW (Center for Learning and Writing).
- Pass all classes and achieve a minimum 2.50 G.P.A. in order to continue enrollment in fall 2017.
When will I register for my classes and participate in orientation?
You must register to attend summer school Student Orientation, Advisement and Registration (SOAR) taking place June 9, 2017. Registration for SOAR begins in mid-April. You will be pre-enrolled in your classes based upon your ACT sub scores and receive your class schedule at SOAR.

We lived on the same property and I saw her ever to every other day...but that week I went 2 days. I own a business and have been stress this last year and didn't spend the time I should have. After going trough her things I am pretty sure she couldn't use the phone anymore and looking in her re fridge I am pretty sure she had forgotten a lot about cooking...I saw my mom all the time ..why did I not see thiS.

The Chariot is a powerful early unit.
The Chariot was the first true fighting vehicle. It was used by the armies of antiquity to transport archers and other troops to the battlefield, where they would then disembark to actually fight. The Chariot was turned into a fearsome offensive weapon by the Assyrians, whose archers and spearmen fought from the car of the chariot itself. Few enemy armies were able to withstand the onslaught of a host of Assyrian chariots, and this devastating weapon was soon adopted by many of the Assyrians' enemies, and used against them with good effect.

"One of the challenges for technology companies, such as ALLDATA, is the prevalence of multiple environments in which we must operate," said ALLDATA President Jeff Lagges. "Both Android and iOS are extremely popular, and users of both can now take advantage of wireless access to factory repair information. A tech can take his or her tablet out into the parking lot, on test drives, into the bay and even under the car. This truly is an industry-changing product." ALLDATA Mobile for Android joins the previously introduced app for use with iPad ®. It offers portable access to ALLDATA's OEM diagnostic and repair information. The app is designed to increase productivity by eliminating the need for a technician to leave the vehicle in order to refer to a laptop or desktop computer. When paired with a Bluetooth connection adapter, ALLDATA Mobile for Android offers vehicle connectivity through the OBD port. A technician can read VIN information and pull standard P Codes, which are linked to specific manufacturers' repair articles. P Codes can also be stored by VIN, as well as cleared. The system is easy to use, allowing fast searches for procedures, diagrams, diagnostic data and technical service bulletins. "ALLDATA Mobile for Android or iOS is destined to become a must-have tool for repair shops," said Lagges. "Efficiency is everything when it comes to remaining competitive and our mobile app is all about efficiency."

Posted on 11/12/2015
By Fran Stevenson, Director of Strategic Accounts
The way that the Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed businesses has been a widely discussed topic that continues to make news. There is so much untapped potential that technology can provide. And while many industries have become early adopters, especially those that already rely on technology to perform, others like retail may not fully understand the possibilities that IoT can bring with the help of a well-defined strategy.
The Internet of Things refers to, "the network of physical objects or 'things' embedded with electronics, software, sensors and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data."1 Consider your smart thermostat, which is connected to the internet and can be controlled by your mobile device. As an environmentally conscious citizen, you may turn your heat off during the day and then turn it back on as you leave work so that your home is at a comfortable temperature by the time you reach it.
While smart thermostats and other home automation devices are some of the first examples of how IoT is changing the way we live, there are new examples entering the marketplace every day.
In retail, there is a clear opportunity for new product concepts that implement IoT. General Electric (GE) created numerous WiFi-connected appliances, including a fridge that can set up alerts and reminders, ovens with timers that can be set remotely, and washers with a GE Laundry app where you can download custom specialty cycles.
But capitalizing on IoT doesn't necessarily mean having to find ways to connect your products to the internet. Instead, you can find ways to connect your business model, from the warehouse to in-store customer experience.
"The Internet of Things is an important technological shift for customers, consumers, and our brands, said Greg Swimer, former chief technology officer of Unilever. "Our ability to explore and learn and innovate around IoT in retail is a key part of our constant thirst for knowledge around our brands – connecting and engaging with consumers."
Here are some examples of ways to make the most of IoT:
RFID tags
RFID, or Radio-Frequency Identification, is the technology often used in tags in order to track objects. Disney cleverly uses them in their MagicBands wrist bands that provide theme park access. With them, Disney can track how their guests move about the park and better understand how they use Disney services.
RFID chips are also often embedded in the tags of clothing and other products to accurately track inventory. According to an article in Forbes, "Using RFID tags, retailers can expect 99% inventory accuracy, a 50% reduction in out-of-stocks, a 70% reduction in shrinkage, and sales lifts in the 2% to 7% range."
This technology can also be installed on shelves. There, they can track inventory levels on the shelf and alert when stock is getting low. This can mean either notifying an employee to get more product from backstop to refill the shelves, or even placing an order for a new shipment to be delivered from the warehouse.
Social bar codes and smart price tags
Bar codes have traditionally been a way to scan items at the point of sale. Now with new apps, customers can scan bar or QR codes to bring up product information, reviews and social media commentary. This is a great way to let current customers serve as on-the-spot references for your products.
Smart price tags enable retailers to adjust the price of their products based on demand and customer profile. By lowering the prices of items during non-peak hours of the week, a business can encourage its customers to shop when lines are shorter and parking is easier to come by. This can result in better customer experience and happier patrons. Additionally, when a customer scans and item while logged into their profile, they can have access to lowered prices and special coupons as a reward for being loyal.
Automated vending
Though beverage and snack vending machines have been around for decades, developments like Redbox have stirred their respective industries with a more convenient option. Other businesses have jumped on board the vending wagon, from electronics retailer Best Buy to makeup brands like L'Oreal and Benefit Cosmetics. Many of these vending solutions accept payment through quick purchase options like Google Wallet. Vending machines can not only track and report what items are selling well, but attached cameras can identify the demographic of customers stepping up to them and report information like gender and age to help retailers better understand their target audience.
Interactive displays
Imagine walking into a store and being greeted by a screen. Just as you're about to walk away, the screen changes into a menu display and asks you what you're looking for.
Being prompted by an interactive display may seem less invasive than a sales clerk asking to help find you something, and you may be less likely to respond with, "Thanks, I'm just looking around."
With interactive displays, customers can engage with your brand, which promotes brand loyalty. They can provide entertainment, boost customer experience and, in turn, boost sales.
As you consider implementing IoT into your retail business, define what you're trying to accomplish (e.x., to reduce inventory shrinkage or to deepen customer relationships). Consider what avenues make most sense for your brand. You must make sure that whatever you do falls in-line with your business goals and culture.
When building your strategy, assess your existing IT infrastructure and find where it may be easiest to start. It will take a lot of work and agreement among your businesses' stakeholders, IT, marketing and supply chain operators. As an early adopter, you must also prepare to fail until you find the right solution(s). When you do find what fits your business, you will have differentiated yourself from the masses.

Hinton flies past A-W in first-ever state run
Blackhawks to play in UNI-Dome for semifinals Friday
AKRON -- The Blackhawk football team made history with a 42-28 win over Akron-Westfield in Friday's Class A quarterfinal play.
Hinton advances to the state football semifinals for the first time and will play in the UNI-Dome this Friday.
"You start the season out and about everybody has that dream of being in the Dome," Hinton coach Steve Diediker said. "A lot of kids dream about that. So we told them Friday, 'We're within one game of getting there. It's reality.'"
The Blackhawks (9-3) took their coaches' words to heart and turned an early lead by the Westerners (10-2) into a Hinton win.
It was the Blackhawks' first-ever state quarterfinal game, too.
"It was pretty exciting," Diediker said. "At this point, there aren't any bad games in the playoffs. It's just one of those deals where you take the kids there, and they go get 'em. The kids got us this far and they'll take us however far we'll go."
At the Akron quarterfinal, A-W scored first and scored again before the Blackhawks made it to the end zone.
A-W senior Cory Eskra made a touchdown toss to junior Chance Hoffman to break open scoring for the night. The kick by senior Taylor James was good.
James carried in the second touchdown with a 3-yard run.
"We came out and did some things really well and took the lead early," A-W coach Eric Walkingstick said. "Sometimes it feels like that's a curse when you come out too quick."
Before the quarter was up, Hinton QB senior Morgan Wenzel found Dalton Becker in the end zone to score.
The kick by junior Matthias Gross-Holtick was good, making the score 13-7 by end of the quarter.
Diediker said Hinton had a rough first quarter.
"We botched a punt and gave up a long pass to them for a touchdown. We weren't looking the best," he said. "But we came back in the second quarter."
In that quarter, Hinton sophomore Logan Jurgensmeier took an interception return 15 yards for a TD.
Gross-Holtick's kick gave Hinton a one-point lead, 14-13.
A-W answered with a touchdown carried in by James. The Westerners lead 19-14.
Hinton wasn't done for the half. Wenzel made a successful dash for the goal line twice for the Blackhawks.
Then the clock ran out on a A-W drive for the end zone, making the halftime score 27-19, Hinton.
"There were quite a few lead changes in the game and scoring throughout by both teams," Walkingstick said. "It was just one of those tough games where two good teams go at it. We had some mistakes, and in the end it kind of cost us."
A-W also lost one of its top receivers to an injury, which hurt the team, the coach said.
In the third quarter, the Westerners took the lead once more.
James ran in a 50-yard touchdown and later added a 24-yard field goal to make it a one-point game in A-W's favor, 28-27.
Hinton couldn't be stopped. The Blackhawks lit up the scoreboard again with a TD pass from Wenzel to Becker before end of quarter.
Becker also caught the two point conversion pass to give Hinton the 35-28 lead.
The fourth quarter was a defensive battle with only one score.
Hinton wrapped up the quarterfinal play with a 6-yard touchdown run by Wenzel.
The kick by Gross-Holtick was good, sealing the deal.
With only two minutes left, there was not enough time for the Westerners to rally.
The Blackhawk victory was a bit of redemption after their regular season matchup with the Westerners.
"Last time, we were ahead and they scored three in the fourth quarter to win," Diediker said of the September game. "Tonight they went ahead in the third quarter and we scored the last two touchdowns."
At Friday's quarterfinal, Hinton quarterback Wenzel went 10-for-21 passing for 198 yards, including two touchdowns. He also threw one interception.
Offensively, Becker rushed 34 yards for the Blackhawks in 10 attempts and made five receptions for 109 yards, including two TDs.
Wenzel carried the ball 29 yards in 20 attempts, with three scores.
Hinton senior Jason Vander Kooi made five receptions for a gain of 89 yards.
Junior Cole Johnston rushed four times for 12 yards and senior Colin Poss carried the ball twice for 8 yards.
For the Blackhawk defense, senior Marcus Turman made a fumble recovery and Jurgensmeier and Vander Kooi each caught an interception.
Poss made seven solo tackles and four tackle assists, Turman made six solo tackles and two assists, Jurgensmeier made five solo tackles and three assists, Johnston made five solo and two assists, Becker made five solo and one assist, senior Werner Trierweiler made four solo and two assists.
"Defensively we played well after that first quarter," Diediker said. "Kids got after the ball."
Leading A-W's offense, senior Taylor James rushed 114 yards in 16 attempts. QB Cory Eskra rushed 94 yards in 30 attempts.
Eskra also went 10-for-21 passing for 129 yards, throwing one TD and two interceptions.
Hoffman received three passes for 68 yards and one TD. James received three more for 26 yards.
"We moved the ball really well. We just didn't move it necessarily sometimes when we needed to," Walkingstick said.
A-W racked up about 340 total offensive yards to Hinton's 285, he noted.
Defensively, senior Daniel Beitelspacher led with five solo and seven assist tackles. James added four solo tackles and five assists, senior Kyle Schroeder had three solo and five assists, senior Cole Oltmanns had three solo and three assists.
Walkingstick congratulated his players on their season.
"They fought with a big heart and a good conscience," Walkingstick said. "It was something to be proud of both as a fan and a coach. The play on and off the field was extremely outstanding, and our kids have great character. I'm proud of them.
"Now we'll have to go back to work and start some things again, but I think we're up to the challenge," the coach said.
Hinton is heading back to the practice field this week to prepare for Friday's semifinal in Cedar Falls, Diediker said.
The Blackhawks will meet Logan-Magnolia on the UNI-Dome's gridiron at 1 p.m. Friday
Lo-Ma (11-1) advances to state after a 46-14 win over Woodward-Granger last week.
"This will be the first time for us in the Dome," Diediker said. "We're going to enjoy it."

This Tia Dalma inspired costume was created for a lovely bride who was having a Pirate Style wedding on the beach in California.
The color scheme the bride wanted was creams and dark chocholoate hues. So this what I came up with for her. I used lots of vintage trims and pretty fabrics to give the dress a romantic feel.
Dress includes a fully boned colonial corset, beaded belt with shell details, tapestry skirt and silk accented over dress with netting and ruffles.
Antique lace and vintange trims complete the gown.
The pick'up style back creates a lovely silhouette for a wedding entrance
Dark brown linen provides a nice contrast with the cream colored silks and taupe netting.
Interested in your own pirate wedding dress?

Methodologies for Assessment of Building's Energy Efficiency and Conservation: A Policy-Maker View
Recent global peer-review reports have concluded on importance of buildings in tacking the energy security and climate change challenges. To integrate the buildings energy efficiency into the policy agenda, significant research efforts have been recently done. More specifically, the public domain provides a bulk of literature on the application of buildings-related efficiency technologies and behavioural patterns, barriers to penetration of these practices, policies to overcome these barriers. From the policy-making perspective it is useful to understand how far our understanding of building energy efficiency goes and the approaches and methodologies are behind such assessment.

The Majesty of Jesus (1 of 58) by John Barnett
This content is part of a series.The Majesty of Jesus (1 of 58)
Series: Revelation - From Now to Forever
John Barnett
Are You Aware You're Holding a Treasure?
Have you ever grasped what a treasure you hold in your hands this morning? Even more, the incredible treasure that is housed in those final pages of your Bible? Tucked in at the end of the book is the answer to anything you may be facing today or any of your tomorrows! Open with me to that final book, The Revelation.
This book comes to John as a gift from the Father to the Son. A gift passed down from the Owner of the Universe. Now that is incredible!
Listen to Revelation 1:1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, NIV
Disturbing Days for John the Apostle
Imagine with me the Apostle John. It"s nearing the end of Century One. He is an old man living alone in a world that was violently hostile to Christians.
The Roman world where John saw the government allowed citizens to break in and rob your home because you were a believer, ("took joyfully the spoiling of your goods")
The Roman world where John saw the most powerful person in the worldly system of daily life (an Emperor) was personally committed to finding you and erasing your influence;
The Roman world where John saw infiltrators in the church ("grievous wolves") who secretly reported what was said at the intimate church fellowship meetings you participated in;
The Roman world where John saw Christians defecting to the world, false doctrine, materialism, immorality and false doctrine;
The Roman world that had finally pounded at his door to drag him away to his death! Whew, sounds like a nightmare.
Where was John the Apostle when Jesus delivered him this incredible book? (Patmos) Where? EXILED ON PATMOS AT THE END OF HIS LIFE!
Now, think of how discouraged he must have been. He was the only surviving apostle. The last one left of Christ' ...

External Hard disk
Could anyone please help me to make ma own external hard disk without external power supply.

sorry, but hard disks need some sort of power. they are mechanical and have motors.
maybe use a usb flash/thumb drive instead?

Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1
To convert a standard 240 volt external drive bay will be quite difficult, you will have to be very knowledgeable of electronics and be able to create a cable that will draw power from 2 or more USB ports and that is provided that the computer it is connected to is able to give the required amount of power
you can very cheaply(£60 260GB LTHDD and caddy) buy an external drive that runs from 2xUSB jacks or if you already have a laptop drive spare then just the caddy its self for around £20 - £30

Hi there
You can always run some disks from power from the USB so you don't need an external power source - I think that's what you mean
To do this you can use for example a typical laptop type hard drive (2.5 inch) max 1 TB and mount in an external enclosure -- most computer stores sell a "PATA=> USB" drive type of enclosure case for around 10 - 20 USD.
Quite frankly it's cheaper to buy something like a WD "Usb Passport" 1 TB drive for around 55 USD -- then you've got both Disk and drive doing what you want WITHOUT the need for an external power source.
At the present time I don't think you'll find a larger capacity than 1 TB which will work without an external power source.

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that construction will begin next week on $4.5 million worth of projects to replace bridge decks on structures in Monroe and Ontario counties. Starting May 1st, the bridge carrying Clinton Avenue over Route 104 in Rochester will close to traffic. The work is funded through the NY Works program and meets the goals of Governor Cuomo's Drivers First initiative to ensure that construction causes the least impact to motorists.
"The NY Works program continues to strengthen infrastructure across the state and create jobs," Governor Cuomo said. "Rehabilitating these bridges will allow them to last longer, improve safety for drivers, and save taxpayers money in the long run."
The project also includes work on the bridges carrying Paul Road eastbound and westbound over Interstate 490 in the town of Chili and the westbound ramp from the Inner Loop to Clinton Avenue in the city of Rochester, all in Monroe County, and Routes 5 & 20 over Mud Creek in the town of East Bloomfield, Ontario County.
Construction will start next week on the bridge carrying Clinton Avenue over Route 104 in the city of Rochester, Monroe County. When the bridge closes May 1, northbound traffic will follow a signed detour using the Route 104 service road and Seneca Street. Southbound motorists will be directed to use East Ridge Road, St. Paul Street and Norton Street.
Work at other locations will begin next month and construction will progress simultaneously. The bridge carrying Routes 5 & 20 in East Bloomfield will remain open to alternating one-way traffic during construction. The other bridges in the contract will be completely closed, with traffic directed along signed detours.
The project includes removing the existing concrete decks and replacing them. All the bridges are expected to be reopened to traffic this fall.
New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) Commissioner Joan McDonald said, "Replacing these bridge decks will increase safety for motorists in the Greater Rochester area. Thanks to Governor Cuomo's innovative NY Works program, we will see many important safety projects taking place this year, helping to improve our infrastructure, facilitate economic development and create immediate jobs across New York State."
The traffic management plans for the projects were established as part of the Drivers First initiative, developed by Governor Cuomo last year. Drivers First requires that capital construction road and bridge projects are reviewed to ensure that work has the least impact possible on highway users.
The construction contractor for the project is Sealand Contractors Corp. of Rush, Monroe County.
NY Works focuses on improving the condition of bridges from fair condition to good condition in order to extend their service life. This rehabilitation work will better preserve the state's infrastructure and guard against the need for more costly, in-depth construction. Bundling projects sites within close geographic locations into a single contract enables DOT to lower expenses and obtain lower bids.
It is imperative that motorists remember to drive carefully through this and the many other highway and bridge construction zones they will encounter during the upcoming construction season.
Assembly Majority Leader Joseph D. Morelle said, "Investing in infrastructure not only makes our highways safer, it creates construction jobs today and sets the foundation for long-term economic growth. I am grateful to Governor Cuomo and Commissioner McDonald for their leadership and commitment to rebuilding New York."
Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb said, "Under Governor Cuomo's NY Works program, we are undertaking construction projects that will toughen infrastructure across the state while creating jobs and spurring economic activity. Furthermore, replacing these bridge structures will mean safer travel for all those driving through our region. I thank Governor Cuomo for making this important investment."
Senator Joseph Robach said, "I applaud Governor Cuomo for making renewing the state's infrastructure a priority. Not only will this project upgrade our infrastructure and provide for safer transportation for area drivers, but it will also boost employment opportunities in our community."
Senator Michael Ranzenhofer said, "The NY Works program continues to serve the people of New York through investments in infrastructure projects to ensure well-maintained roads and safer bridges across the state. At the same time, this program is helping to generate job growth, giving a shot in the arm for our region. As construction begins, the Drivers First initiative will ensure that drivers will have the least inconvenience. This is a win-win for our community."
Senator Ted O'Brien said, "I applaud Governor Cuomo's NY Works program and the investments it makes in the Greater Rochester area and Ontario County. This project will spur economic growth and create jobs in our communities, while providing much-needed repairs to our local infrastructure."
Assemblymember Harry Bronson said, "Updating our state's infrastructure is an important part of our building a better New York. Projects like these bridge deck replacements not only make our roads safer, but they will create new jobs in the region and save taxpayer dollars by avoiding the need for greater repairs in the future. As this construction project demonstrates, Governor Cuomo and the NY Works program are continuing to deliver for New Yorkers."

Access data from a weather station with the Raspberry Pi
Ingredient 3: Build a Web Application with Sinatra
Once Ruby is installed, Ruby libraries are managed with
gem. To program web applications with Sinatra, you need to run
gem install sinatra
to install the Sinatra gem. This sample full-fledged web application,
require 'sinatra' get '/' do 'Hello world!' end }
can be accessed in the browser on http://localhost:4567/ after typing
ruby webapp.rb.
Ingredient 4: Populate a Database with Measured Values
Now, you still need to store the data in an appropriate way. In general, a database is used for web applications. SQLite is a database designed for simple applications, but that still speaks SQL. The database is part of the Debian sqlite3 package. To use it in Ruby, you also need the Ruby sqlite3 gem.
To create a new database file by the name of
db.sqlite3 which will store temperature values at specific times, for example, you would type:
sqlite3 db.sqlite3 'create table temperatures(time integer, t real);'
The Ruby code in Listing 1 [5] uses ActiveRecord to access the database and populate it with values parsed from a CSV file,
weather.csv. The rows in the CSV file containing the data from the weather station are structured as described above.
Listing 1
Populating the Database
01 require 'csv' 02 require 'active_record' 03 04 data = CSV.read('weather.csv', { col_sep: ':' }) 05 ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection( {"adapter"=>"sqlite3", "database"=>"db.sqlite3"}) 06 07 class Temperature < ActiveRecord::Base 08 validates_uniqueness_of :time 09 end 10 11 data.each do |d| 12 values = { time: d[0], t: d[11] } 13 Temperature.create values 14 end
The beauty of ActiveRecord is that it automatically takes care of everything you need for reading and writing to databases. In Listing 1, on seeing the
Temperature class, it understands that it needs to access the
temperatures table, and the variable names (
t) tell it the columns in the database table that it must write.
Ingredient 5: Read Measured Values from the Database
The data can be read conveniently from the database, again thanks to ActiveRecord. Listing 2 reads all entries in the
values variable at one fell swoop. At the same time, the
time values are multiplied by 1,000.
Listing 2
Read from a Database
01 require 'active_record' 02 03 ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection({"adapter"=>"sqlite3", "database"=>"db.sqlite3"}) 04 class Temperature < ActiveRecord::Base 05 end 06 07 values = Temperature.all.map {|m| [m.time * 1000, m.t]} 08 data = values.inspect 09 puts data
The array comprises pairs of times and measured values, so it can later be interpreted by the chart library to provide data points. The
inspect method generates a matching string from the array (
"[[1363465023000, -1.3], [1363468623000, -1.9], ...]"). In Listing 2, this string is output in the terminal. Later, the string is integrated into the website at the appropriate point in the JavaScript code.

There are several diseases common to the tongue. Many will also affect the tongue as well as the lips, mouth, throat and pallet. Symptoms associated with these diseases are generally mild and may include swelling, redness, discoloration, tenderness and sores. Likewise, treatment for common tongue diseases is mild and usually incorporates a change in diet or lifestyle.
Geographic Tongue
This disease, also known as benign migratory glossitis, is characterized by a map-like pattern of red spots on the tongue. It usually occurs on the top and sides of the tongue, although it may spread to other portions of the mouth. Geographic tongue is harmless and commonly exists without symptoms beyond basic discoloration. Tenderness or soreness may occur but can be alleviated through topical medication. It is not an infectious disease so cannot be transmitted to another individual.
Black Hairy Tongue
This is a disease caused by excessive growth of the follicles on the tongue, known as papillae. Papillae continue to grow throughout an individual's lifetime. Usually, papillae are worn down over time by daily activity such as eating and brushing. If not worn down, they can grow to atypical lengths. Bacteria can then grow on the papillae, resulting in a blackened or darkened appearance. This usually occurs in individuals with poor dental hygiene.
Burning Mouth Syndrome
Burning mouth syndrome causes loss of taste, burning sensations and the feeling of swelling on the tongue. It is a relatively harmless disease that is not infectious or transferable to another individual. It commonly affects peri-menopausal or post-menopausal women, although 10 to 20 percent of cases are found in men. The exact cause of burning mouth syndrome is unknown, although it is commonly associated with other medical conditions like nutritional deficiency.
HSV-1, or herpes simplex virus 1, is a viral infection that sometimes causes sores on the tongue. Sores are generally red and swollen but may have a white or greenish cap. There is no cure for HSV-1, but symptoms like pain and tenderness usually pass with time or antiviral medication. HSV-1 is easily transferable, even through saliva shared by casual kissing. It is hereditary and commonly runs in families.
These tongue diseases are mostly harmless and do not require extensive treatment. However, even mild symptoms can be aggravated by certain foods and substances. If you have geographic tongue, avoid eating spicy or acidic foods. Use a corticosteroid rinse and swish out your mouth 2 to 3 times a day. Avoid excessively salty or citrusy foods if you have HSV-1.

LONDON (Billboard) - As Nikki Yanofsky prepared to sing the Canadian national anthem at the opening ceremony of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver -- just four days after her 16th birthday -- it wasn't so much the global TV audience of 3.2 billion that was preying on her mind.
"The only thing I was nervous about was tripping," she says with a laugh. "I was wearing 5-inch heels and I had to walk down steps, and I'm an inexperienced heel-walker. So, yeah, one step at a time."
Since then, however, the Canadian jazz starlet's career has progressed in leaps and bounds. Her debut studio album, "Nikki," released May 4 in the United States by Decca, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers Albums chart, No. 3 on Jazz Albums and No. 105 on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 6,000 units, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album has so far peaked at No. 5 on Top Canadian Albums.
The set mixes her takes on such standards as "Take the 'A' Train" and "God Bless the Child" with original compositions like "For Another Day," penned with Jesse Harris. All feature Yanofsky's mature and versatile vocals, which seem to channel jazz greats like Ella Fitzgerald through a pop/R&B sensibility.
Despite her age, Yanofsky is already a veteran. She was the youngest headliner at the Montreal International Jazz Festival, playing her hometown event when she was 12. Alongside her February 12 Olympics performance, her "I Believe" single received massive coverage as the theme of broadcaster CTV's event coverage. It topped the Canadian Hot 100, as did Young Artists for Haiti's version of K'Naan's "Wavin' Flag," on which she was a featured performer.
"To be honest," Yanofsky says, "any recognition is great, but the real motive of this is the art of the music. I used to wake up when I was 4 or 5 and say to my parents, 'OK, make me famous.' But it became a lot less about the fame."
Decca general manager Paul Foley says the label is supplementing its initial jazz-orientated marketing with a "slow build" on triple-A (adult alternative album) radio for "For Another Day," while Yanofsky will hit the summer international jazz festival circuit.
"We know breaking the U.S. takes time, especially in the jazz genre," Foley says. "But the road to success (for her) is jazz. She's such an amazing vocalist, the crossover and singer-songwriter (aspects) will come later."
"I'm always going to be singing jazz, but I can't neglect pop or R&B," Yanofsky says. "If I choose one genre, I'm almost shooting myself in the foot, because I'd be missing out on all the other great genres."
