New Video- CONVEYER PREMIERE NEW VIDEO "NO FUTURE"
CONVEYER is the definition of the hardcore music genre in 2017. Their video "No Future," the title track from their new album set for release on Victory Records on June 23 sonically and visually encapsulates what fans of the genre have been waiting for. An ode to crashing dreams and forgotten plans of the future, vocalist Danny Adams spells it out, "'No Future' is the title track for the record because we felt it had to be as straight-forward as the meaning behind it."
June 23rd will see the worldwide release of No Future. Pre-orders are available now and include an instant download of "Whetstone" and "No Future."
"Human beings are meant to exist in a perfect place, but we've somehow deprived ourselves of the desire to venerate perfect things," Adams explains. "I'm constantly reminded that I'm unequipped to accept that my existence is limited to this life. It's also not a typical sounding Conveyer song – we wanted to bleed out some older influences like Buried Alive and Figure Four."
CONVEYER entered Silver Bullet Studio in Connecticut with producer Greg Thomas (Shai Hulud, Misery Signals, With Honor) in January 2017. "This was the first record that we have ever worked on with a producer and we couldn't be happier with how it came out," guitarist Ty Brooks discloses. "Our goal with No Future was to capture the energy and passion of a CONVEYER live show on record."
Currently a month deep into their first tour behind the album, CONVEYER will wrap up next week with a hometown album release show, and new US and international dates will be announced soon.

Rajan, and many other prominent academics and successful educators.

SMF - Just Installed!
......and had a stainless hose made at a local hydraulics shop. Only $24!
Quote from: scott s on June 23, 2017, 03:48:47 pm......and had a stainless hose made at a local hydraulics shop. Only $24!Scott: How long is you new brake hose? Is it the same lenght as the original? How long is the original? The hose on my Ascot needs to be replaced but it's not original and too long so I can't used that as a guide for replacement length.
Is that rotor a stock one that you had drilled or is it from another model?
But a drilled rotor, even if it's the same size, would have a different part number, no ?In any case, it looks groovy!

Wildlife on Location {Eagle Day, Conowingo Dam}
I had the pleasure of going to Eagle Day at the Conowingo Dam in November to watch the Bald Eagles fly and fish. It was a wonderful day sponsored by the power company filled with captive birds and exhibits. The eagles also put on quite the show for all of us photographers. Here is a selection of the photos I took that day.

I like this physics engine. I am not exactly sure how good it will be for cars. It seems to be quite a bit of overkill but I suppose I can put it to good use. Any suggestions to get the cars in game to drift? Ive noticed that they generally always go where pointed or immediately spin out.
You need to model force-dependent slip, where a tire that still has traction allows some amount of sideways slip, that is dependent on the rolling speed of the tire and the sideways force of the car. I haven't looked exactly at the contact constraint used in the modeled car, so I can't tell you exactly where to put that in, but I know it helped tremendously when I wrote my ODE car sample a few years ago.
I'm guessing like pacejka? Lol I got the physics engine cuz I had a hard time with physics.
have a look at whileSideFriction in the car constructor. Also change the terrain friction.
The problem with wheelsidefriction (I think thats what you were talking about) is that it makes everything linear. Sure the car will drift around corners but it never grips either. The weight of the car should be able to add/subtract from each tire's ability to slip or grip.

Jason Chan, Kenneth Ma, Ruco Chan, Raymond Lam, Mandy Wong, Linda Chung, Tavia Yeung, Kate Tsui, Michelle Yim, Lok Yi Ling, and Christine Kuo left from Hong Kong to go to Singapore for the Starhub Awards.
I was so confused when I saw this group picture because I could not recognize Kenneth, Ruco, or Tavia and I thought Linda was Sharon Chan. They all look super dressed down except for Kate who looks like she's in full hair and makeup.

A small pack managed to make it to the campsite in SLDB on a lovely warm dry sunny morning with little or no hangovers evident from the previous night's dining at local expat Leslie's gaff.
The JMs started the proceedings but couldn't remember the run number, so they mumbled something and handed over to the hares who didn't bother with the usual lies since the ground was bone dry and there was no way to go but steeply up.
Following a short walk up into the village the pack found the trail west and on-up into the welcoming shade of the trees.
After a few easy checks on the slope up through le Champ des Pas a five way check
at the top of the climb kept the leaders busy long enough for the pack to regroup
before the trail out towards Anc. ardoisičre which went through a small group of
ravers who were still too drunk to have a hangover.
Now a dilemma, the trail split, one path for the "Turkeys" heading gently up out of the
valley and one for the "Eagles" heading down further into the valley.
The rest of the trail consisted of a series of easy checks that took the pack along the edge
of the animal park with magnificent views of the Sarthe and SLDB to the right and unusual goats
and llamas to the left.
Soon we reached the on-in after one hour and twenty minutes.

Reconnect with 10 ports of connectivity. Available in Space Gray, Gold and Silver. Pre-order today.
OWC®, a leading zero emissions Mac and PC technology company, announced today that the OWC USB-C Dock is available for pre-order and expected to ship in approximately three weeks. The new OWC USB-C Dock provides a complete connectivity solution for the 2015 Apple MacBook and other computers that utilize USB-C ports. For all media and review requests please contact Bill Herring, Public Relations Manager.
Ten Ports of Connectivity
Available in Space Gray, Gold, and Silver, the OWC USB-C Dock provides ten ports and enables the ability to charge devices, connect a display, add external storage, import photos from an SD card, utilize wired Gigabit Ethernet connections, connect audio accessories, and even power the new Apple MacBook, all through a single USB Type-C cable.
The OWC USB-C Dock includes ten ports for easy connectivity:
- Five fully-powered USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports
- Two high-power USB Type-A ports for fast mobile device charging
- Two USB Type-A ports
- One USB Type-C port
- Gigabit Ethernet - add high-speed wired networking support
- HDMI - connect an external display, with support for up to 4K video
- SD Card reader - easily transfer photos and video from an SD card
- Audio in and out - combo audio port for headphones or microphones
- USB-C port - connects to Apple MacBook or other USB-C-equipped host machine
Power for your MacBook. And more.
Included with every OWC USB-C Dock is an 80 watt power adapter. This is in contrast to other announced dock solutions relying on the power adapter that ships with the Apple MacBook, resulting in insufficient and unreliable power for many bus-powered USB peripherals.
The included 80 watt adapter shipping with the OWC USB-C Dock is capable of powering not only the new MacBook but also all of the USB peripherals users will directly attach. As an added benefit, users can keep the original Apple MacBook 29 watt power supply in their bag for when they are on the go.
"...puts all other docks to shame."
The OWC USB-C Dock has been developed by the same design team that developed the OWC Thunderbolt 2 Dock, which has been critically acclaimed by customers and product reviewers.
Selected as a Finalist in the 2015 Stevie Awards, a premier business award program, the OWC Thunderbolt 2 Dock has a customer rating of 4.9/5.0. Derek Kessler, Managing Editor of Mobile Nations, stated "OWC's Thunderbolt 2 Dock puts all other docks to shame" and MacWorld noted "Compared to the other docks in this roundup, OWC offers a whole lot of dock," earning a top-rated 4.5/5.0.
"The innovation found in the OWC USB-C Dock is an impressive combination of technology and design, and continues an OWC tradition of empowering our customers to get the most from their tech," said Larry O'Connor, Founder and CEO, OWC. "With the OWC USB-C Dock, you can now reconnect virtually all of your peripherals to the new Apple MacBook, and do so in style with your choice of three beautiful colors."
Availability and Pricing
The OWC USB-C Dock is currently available for pre-order at B&H, MacSales.com, Adorama, and other authorized resellers. Deliveries of the dock will begin in January 2016.
The OWC USB-C Dock is priced at $159.00.
OWC at CES
OWC enjoys a strong history at the Consumer Electronics Show, winning several awards in prior years:
- In 2015, the OWC Thunderbolt 2 Dock received the Best of CES 2015 Spotlight Award from Videomaker Magazine.
- Also in 2015, the OWC Thunderbay 4 external storage solution was named a CES Innovations Honoree.
- The OWC Envoy Pro EX portable SSD was named as a CES Innovations 2014 Design and Engineering Award Honoree.
- The OWC Envoy Pro mini, an ultra-portable SSD in a thumb drive form factor, was announced at the 2015 CES and the product has gone on to win numerous prizes including the 2015 Storage Visions Visionary Product Award and2015 Best in Biz Award.

Asthma, management of acute
This document is only valid for the day on which it is accessed. Please read our disclaimer.
Within this Document
Most children who present to the Starship with asthma will be managed according to this guideline.
The following children may need to be managed differently and should be discussed with a senior:
- Children who are admitted to PICU with life-threatening asthma
- Children who are under the care of the Respiratory Team
- Children who have other serious disorders that affect the management of asthma (e.g. heart disease, neuromuscular disorders)
- Infants under 1 year of age.
Diagnosing Asthma
Diagnosis of asthma is likely if the following are present:
- A history of fluctuating wheeze
This may fluctuate spontaneously or in response to bronchodilators or steroids.
- Three or more episodes of wheeze
It may be hard to tell with the chronically wheezy infant or child. A fixed obstruction must be ruled out if the wheeze is continuous.
Do not diagnose on the first or second episode.
- Physical signs of airways obstruction
These are the signs elicited on the Asthma Severity Score plus over-inflation and prolonged expiration.
- No alternative diagnosis
Such as foreign body, cystic fibrosis. If in doubt ask your consultant.
- Family History
There is often a family history of atopy.
- Age
Asthma is rarely diagnosed in a child who is less than 1 year old (check with your consultant).
For those 1 to 2 years old, a higher degree of certainty is required than for older children.
In particular, consider whether the child may have acute bronchiolitis or bronchopneumonia. If in doubt discus with a senior.
A chest x-ray is usually not necessary. See 'Chest x-ray in Acute Wheeze' guideline for indications for chest x-ray.
Assessment of Asthma Severity
Signs of Life-threatening Asthma
- Respiratory - hypoxia/exhaustion
- Neurological - agitation, confusion, drowsiness
- Cardiovascular - pulsus paradoxus, worsening tachycardia
- Consider diagnoses other than asthma, especially in infants with poorly responsive respiratory distress
- In very severe cases, because of extremely poor air entry, you may not hear wheeze
- Deterioration despite maximal therapy on severe asthma pathway
Oxygen saturations can remain normal in life-threatening asthma.
All children with life-threatening asthma should be discussed with a senior (consultant or fellow) and be managed according to the Life-Threatening Asthma Guideline.
- Too breathless to talk or feed
- HR > 120/min (over 5 years) or >130/min (2-5 years old)
- RR . 30/min (over 5 years) or > 50/min (2-5 years old)
- Marked accessory muscle use
|Asthma Severity Score (ASS)
Add wheeze and muscle subtotals to give score
|Wheeze (beware of silent chest*)
|None (0)
|Expiratory (by auscultation) (1)
|Expiratory & inspiratory (2)
|Heard without stethoscope (3)
|Sub Total
|Accessory muscle use / indrawing
|None (0)
|Mild (1)
|Moderate (2)
|Severe (3)
|Sub Total
|0 - 2 = Mild
3 - 5 = Moderate
6 = Severe
Acute Asthma Management Algorithm
Prednisolone syrup (Redipred®) is the preferred medication for young children because it is better tolerated and easy to use.
Prednisone tablets can be used for older children who are able to swallow them.
|Mild asthma
|Consider on basis of history
|Moderate or severe asthma
|Dosage is 1mg/kg/day once daily (max 40mg) for 3-5 days
|May require IV hydrocortisone if not tolerating oral medication or if slow to respond
Consider admission to the ward for the patients who:
- Require bronchodilators more often than 3hrly despite early administration of corticosteroids and 4 - 6 hours in CED or short stay unit
- Have persisting oxygen desaturation < 92%
- Other factors to consider:
- History of respiratory arrest or life-threatening asthma
- Underlying medical condition
- Severity of illness
- Social (eg access to car/phone, time of day)
- Parental ability to cope
- Repeat presentation with the same illness
Discharge Guideline
- Asthma Severity Score (ASS) of 0 -2
- Anticipate ongoing spacer use less frequently than 2-4 hourly
- Spacer Technique has been assessed and is satisfactory
- Prescription for appropriate home treatment and devices

American Technocrats
American Technocrats
Earlier this year, I heard the story of Benton Harbor, Michigan. I watched this textbook example of corporate and banking control over our political systems play out in what turned out to be a preview of what has now befallen previously sovereign nations in Europe. The story, if you aren't familiar with it, is an absolutely sickening example of the complete corporate subversion and corruption that has infected our political systems.
It shows that democracy in America is now subject to big corporate interests and big banks bottom lines. It is run by and for the welfare of the 1% and, as the historical record shows, that is in direct opposition of the people's welfare. It requires 'government led crackdowns' on the resulting
civil unrest to enforce this transition, as the population will always rise to resist such measures.
Flint, Michigan is the latest city to undergo a hostile takeover of their democratic processes. The city's fall into economic oblivion was made famous by native Michael Moore's first foray into film, as it was one of the first victims of corporate greed. Once again, we can look to the poor city of Flint as they are once again blazing a sad trail in the history of America.
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder, a Republican (not that it matters anymore), appointed an EFM for the city of Flint. The Emergency Financial Manager title is not a new one in Michigan, as Flint becomes the fourth city in the state to have its democratic processes taken away by the appointment of such an overseer. Detroit's Public School system has also been placed under the control of unelected technocrats. It has been rumored and threatened that Detroit will be the next victim of this stripping away power from the votes of people. It would appear that turning this power over to private institutions, accountable to no one, is in season for Michigan.
Mike Brown, a Democrat (see above disclaimer) who formerly held the position of mayor of Flint, was named EFM. He came in with scissors
blazing and immediately hacked away the salaries and benefits of the city council and took abolished city council meetings. He fired city employees and, in a move that shows forward thinking, eliminated a complaint investigation office and the staff administering civil service laws for employees.
Democracy in Detroit is not far behind. Detroit Mayor Bing has come out in favor of the appointment of an EFM to take over making decisions for the city. Detroit has already begun instituting austerity measures that have included forcing city union workers to accept massive cuts to wages and benefits while their costs for health care increase. They intend to cut more than 2,300 city jobs. This also means, for those of you keeping score at home, that there will be fewer fire fighters. I honestly don't know if these cuts include the police force, but I doubt it. They likely anticipate a need for them as they continue to enforce American Austerity. If this weren't enough, Detroit's workers are being forced to take pension reductions and a face upcoming changes in 'work rules'.
That last vague threat suddenly reminds us that here in our own state of Missouri, politicians have changed our rules regarding child labor to allow for our advancement toward a Chinese modeled workforce and for the insane notions of the corporate conservative viewpoint that poor kids should be janitors to be a reality.
The internet and free flow of uncontrolled information it allows for has shown Americans that we are not alone in our plight, even though our major media refuses to acknowledge that. Corporations have managed to globalize our banking systems, our economies and are bent, it seems, as events in Europe continue to unfold, on extending globalization to our political systems.
What they did not count on was that they have also globalized resistance to this philosophy.
We stand in the midst of a global awakening as the methods that support oppressing the 99% are used in country after country, in the Middle East, in Europe, in Oakland. We are seeing clearly for the first time, the intentions of the 1%, as they simply take the power they've bought and paid our politicians for and use it against us. They are forcing us into austerity by socializing their debts to us, worldwide. They are using our political system against us in a free-for-all of pro-corporate legislation and deregulation, while taking away all of our people's benefits, rights and now, votes.
We are the 99%. We are the 99% in Russia. In Egypt. In Tunisia. In Greece. Spain, Italy, France, Germany. In the UK. In Durbin, South Africa. In Bahrain. In Yemen.
We are the 99% in New York, in Oakland, in Minnesota, in Phoenix, in Philadelphia.
We are the 99% in St. Louis, where they stand strong in defiance against both the efforts of the police to discourage them and the elements.
We are the 99% in Kansas City, where side by side, men and women of both political stripes have managed to find plenty of common ground to stand on in defense of our common good.
We are the 99% who live and work in the direct heart of this state and, as pointed out by the latest round of census data, the nation.
We will maintain and protect our rights, our liberties. These are rights of our birth, paid for in blood. We will use them to resist this subversion of our union by the corporate forces massed against us. We stand against the corporate control and corruption of our institutions and we stand against your agenda to further eliminate the rules you have to follow.
The time of the 99%, contrary to popular reports, is far from over. People of all stripes are beginning to see the truth and are coming to the same conclusion. It is time to protect our democracy from those who would do it immeasurable harm.

We all know that Emma Stone is a talented actor (I mean, she just got an Oscar nomination!), but did you know that she can also sing like a rock star?
Below is a clip of Stone (who went my Emily Stone back then) on the 2004 show In Search of the New Partridge Family singing Meredith Brooks' 1997 hit Bitch and not only did she nail the cover, but she also threw in some serious rock star moves in her performance. All of this undoubtedly comes in handy for the actress who is currently performing in the Broadway musical Cabaret. Emma Stone, what can't this amazing woman do!
Check out her performance below.

A trail of broken relationships says nothing about the people you've been involved with as much as it speaks about you. Nothing is ever going to work out the way you intended. You have to allow for rainy days no matter how much you enjoy the sunshine. In life, there is a thing called 'balance'. It's the axis upon which life turns. The well balanced person does more than eat a nutritious breakfast. They can handle every curve and spin that life brings their way. You can read every book on being successful in life as your personal time will allow, but until you learn how to deal with the rain, your sunshiny days will be spent more in your recovery than in your discovery.

Former 'Apprentice' Star Omarosa's Brother Killed in Alleged Lovers Spat, Report Says
The brother of reality TV veteran Omarosa Manigault was murdered early Sunday morning in what is being called a "deadly lovers' quarrel."
Jack Manigault, 40, the brother of the former "Apprentice" and "Fear Factor" contestant, was shot and killed in Youngstown, Ohio.
Jack Manigault was killed around 1:53 a.m. as he was sleeping in bed with his 34-year-old girlfriend -- whose ex-boyfriend, Marco Cardenas, allegedly broke into the house, forced his way into the bedroom and shot Manigault in the head.
The woman was not seriously injured.
"We thank everyone for their amazing outpouring of support surrounding the tragic death of my brother Jack," Omarosa said in a statement. "Right now it is an extremely difficult time, and we ask that you allow the family privacy to grieve and make all necessary arrangements."
Manigault was sent to prison in 1999 for aggravated assault. But according to his sister, he had turned his life around.
"We loved him unconditionally and we were so proud of him when he turned his life around and gave his life to God two years ago."

2018 LifeSmarts National Champions
San Diego, CA—The student team from Dallas, PA, coached by Kevin West, was crowned national LifeSmarts champions in San Diego at the 24th annual National LifeSmarts Championship. In an exciting match against the Hawaii state champion team from 'Iolani High School in Honolulu, the teens from Dallas High School outplayed their opponents in an exciting end to the 4-day competition.
Dallas High School students won the national title in 2016 and 2017 and returned to the 2018 National Championship to successfully defend their title.
Teams from Kansas and New Hampshire placed third.
"We are so proud of these students from Pennsylvania, who represented their state program with class and pride to take the championship for a third year in a row," said LifeSmarts Program Director Lisa Hertzberg. "They played hard and demonstrated their consumer smarts throughout the four-day event. They are true LifeSmarts champions."
LifeSmarts is an education and scholarship program run by the Washington, DC-based National Consumers League (NCL), the nation's oldest consumer advocacy organization. It competitively tests high school students' knowledge of consumer awareness, with subjects including personal finance, health and safety, consumer rights and responsibility, technology, and the environment. LifeSmarts is available in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and in partnership programs with student leadership programs FBLA and FCCLA.
Teens from each of the 33 state champion teams represented at nationals competed as individuals, and the top five scorers received scholarships from NCL. This year's winners were:
Environment: Matt Metzloff, PA
Personal Finance: Tim Dobson, KS
Health and Safety: Raymond Perez, PA
Consumer Rights and Responsibilities: Sam Harder, KS
Technology: Jonathan Zhang, RI
Emma Boessen, from Missouri, and Matt Metzloff, from Pennsylvania, were named the 2018 Students of the Year. Sam Schachter (Rhode Island) and Don Zabelin (IL) were named LifeSmarts Coaches of the Year. Long-time State Coordinator Cheryl Varnadoe, from Georgia, earned the Coordinator of the Year honor.
"NCL's LifeSmarts program is allowing us to rear a generation of consumer-savvy teenagers who often outsmart their parents on issues related to avoiding fraud, credit and debt, and complicated healthcare decisions," said NCL Executive Director Sally Greenberg. In the 24 years that LifeSmarts has been educating high school and middle school teens on consumer issues, it has grown dramatically, with more than 3 million consumer questions answered at www.lifesmarts.org in the online competition during the 2017-2018 program year.
Additionally, Hannah Wolfe finished in second place on the individual Consumer Rights and Responsibilities exam and Caleb Sweitzer finished in fifth place in Personal Finance.

I tried this out myself and I was able to get free health insurance quotes: Click here to try it
All they wanted was a few pieces of information such as my birthdate, address, sex, address, telephone number and email address.
With that information I was able to get a list of over 70 quotes with contact details if I wanted to pursue any of them.
Some of the insurance was as inexpensive as $50 dollars per month. True, there were high deductibles on those $50 plans but I'd be covered if anything major happened. And that is what is important: The peace-of-mind that comes from knowing you are protected.
With the economic times as trying as they are. I think it would be a great comfort to know you are protected. Don't you agree? Comment below

My journey of learning Norwegian language so far
I am not claiming to be very best in Norsk but now days I take part in the meetings conducted in Norsk and if I want to make some point then I can create 2-3 sentences in Norsk and communicate what I want to say. As well I can write emails with 2-3 sentences in Norsk.
To be frank this journey was not a piece of cake. I need to go through lots of frustration and emotional ups and downs. I used to feel a lot of time that I can't do this anymore. I assume during the process of learning Norsk some of you must be going through same kind of frustration I did. I had a very strong feeling that I am not good at learning language. My wife picked up Norsk very quickly but I was struggling with learning basics of the Norsk.
To be straight to the point I used the divide and rule strategy. The basic step to learn any language is its vocabulary and grammar. What I feel also is if someone wants to learn the language properly then first he needs to understand the culture of the language also. The core part of the language is Grammar. Each language has it's own culture and it's own special rules. In Norwegian daily life they make use of "være så god" in different context for ex. while serving, while offering etc based on the context the meaning of this word changes. Each language has its own special way of communicating which one need know if he wants to learn the language. It's important to know the Norsk words in daily life along with Norsk vocabulary of IT branch. IT vocabulary was helpful for me to understand what's going on in meetings as well reading business emails.
The various ways to learn Norsk language:
1. Best way is start attending Norsk language Course. Be serious during the course and don't be a back bencher. Different organizations conduct language courses in Oslo. Based on affordability you can join course whatever you want. Most of the classes adhere to the European standard of learning languages. There are different levels of courses and based on your existing proficiency these organizations recommend you courses for different levels. You can take an online as well as in person test to check out which level of course you fit in. Please see this website for details http://www.fuoslo.no/default.asp?avd=79&nyh=3042
2. Just going to the course will not be sufficient but do try to pass language test for example Norsk Prøve II, Prøve III. Each exam tests your reading, listening and writing skills based on the exam level. This includes your grammar as well. I would highly recommend to appear for an exam. You can choose the exam level based on your competency level. It's not mandatory to go norsk course for taking exam. You can study by yourself and take exam as well. My personal experience is after passing exam it gave me lots of confidence about my language skills.
3. Reading the Norwegian papers and website and watch Norwegian news, serials. There are lots of English serials coming on the NRK channels with subtexts in Norsk.
4. You can rent out DVDs from nearby libraries with subtitles in Norsk and re-watch the movies in English and try to understand and memorize Norwegian words.
5. Make a list of Norwegian words which you don't know and try re-read the list when you find some free time. I used to read this word list while I was travelling to office, to home and during my leisure time. It's all about making good use of your time and then funda of practice and practice and practice.
6. Use of Mindmaps and word splitting technique can also be useful to memorize Norwegian words. There are lots of techniques available on internet which could be used to memorize the Norwegian words.
7. Speak Norwegian whenever you get a chance for ex. in boutiques or stations or taxis or with your colleagues.
8. Whenever you find some new Norsk word then try to add it to your world list and read this wordlist frequently.
9.Usage of http://translate.google.com
10.Usage of Clue software
As I am working in IT branch the vocabulary which I gained while while studying in the lauguage course was limited. So I needed an extra effort to improve my vocabulary in the IT branch. I found following tricks very helpful.
1. Whenever I used to receive some business communication in Norsk I used to translate it in English with help of translate.google.com or Clue software and that way I prepared special wordlist for IT branch. Again I used read that list frequently when I used to get a free time in office.
2. Another trick is to read article related to IT industry. I am using www.computerworld.no and try to read at least one article everyday in Norsk by using Google translate. I see may benefits here like improve vocabulary, I was able to know what's happening in IT industry in Norway also the trendy words and slang words used in Norsk IT industry.
3. Try to read as much as Norsk technical documents in your office.
4. You can record the meeting on your mobile which are conducted in Norsk and re listen them to catch the words you don't understand.
5. I have English to Norwegian dictionary on my mobile so whenever I read a new Norsk word I try to translate in with help of the dictionary and add to my word list.
Learning language is ongoing and continuous process. It's upon individual about his own proactiveness and commitment and his readiness to put in extra efforts and hours.
The benefits are enormous.
1. One will get more accepted in his colleagues in office and as well as socially
2. One will start contributing more to his office work
3. Boss will be very much impressed that you have acquired the language skill because ease of doing business with you.
4. One can take part in social interactions which will increase his knowledge about Norwegian society ,day to day events
The continuous improvement principle of Toyota is very useful while learning language. Try to work every day on the language improve yourself day by day. I feel that it takes approx. 2 years learning Norsk if your language parser in brain is of average capability as mine. One can learn language in shorter duration than 2 year if he is committed and ready to take more efforts. The tricks mentioned above are not the ultimate tricks there could other ways as well. Feel free discuss them in comments.

Hey Ankur,
Thanks for this article, I also face same situation every days and now I have started taking it seriously. I will fallow mentioned point.
- April 23, 2011 at 6:20:00 AM PDT
Hi Ankur,
I've learnt some basics of Norsk.
Since I've also seen a bit of Japanese and Chinese, I think Norwegian is a much easier language to learn.
Grammar is tough but like you said only when you speak and listen to local people will it improve.
- April 23, 2011 at 9:56:00 AM PDT
Useful blog website, keep me personally through searching it, I am seriously interested to find out another recommendation of it.

Hi Ankur,
Nice to read about your hints,comments on norsk.I believe that I am also sailing in same boat as you mentioned here..I have also come across same things..I guess most important is to speak as much as you can even if you are wrong because thats the way to begin atleast..Your idea of using computerworld.no is excellent as me also have ing issues with technical vocabulary in norsk during meetings and end up speaking english than if not clarified..So I would definately try to follow the hint..I found speaking with children , neighbours, in library also boosts confidence to begin to communicate in norsk...Barnebøker can also be easy way to practise norsk i think

Since I didn't actually take a picture of night on Sunday the 26th, I decided to find a photo from another night in February. And these were too cool not to post. Army Wives was being filmed in our neighborhood, so we walked over to check it out. And although it was technically "night", I think they were trying to simulate "day"! Fun!
Here are a few more photos from the shoot...

We have beautiful sunsets in NJ. Well, most of the time. Anyways, I captures some pictures of the sunset.
Well, it's not a sunset yet, but it's a pre-sunset. The sky and the gods are telling you that the sunset is approaching soon.
The clouds are bumpy, they are stratocumulus clouds. One of my favortie types of clouds. ☁
I love the Earth's inner beauty. Well not literally, because the Earth's inner core is 9,000-13,000 degrees F!! But really, being this for a sunset or solar eclipse, is better than being on your phone. No picture can really capture the Earth's inner beauty.

Naked was my first China Glaze ever and the first polish I bought when I started to fall in love with the stuff, not to mention my first "professional" brand, so it's special to me. Coming from a person that doesn't like pink polish THAT much, I absolutely love it! It's a barbie pink that I find flattering on me. I also love how bright it is and the shimmer is absolutely gorgeous!
I've used it before, so the bottle is running low and it's getting kind of thick. What's weird is that it didn't seem thick at all when I shook it or it was on the brush, but once I put it on, it was. It wasn't self leveling, but uneven. The thickness made the drying time longer. It was also sheer, so three coats was a must, plus top coat.
Overall, I love Naked! I will definitely think about buying a new bottle once I run out. I mighttt add some glitter to it, but I'm undecided about which to go with!

The game of Mancala.The name "mancala" applies to a family of games in which the playing board consists of two, three, or four straight rows of deep, round holes. The holes, which are used to hold the playing pieces, are what distinguishes this game from other board games. The word mancala (or Manqala) is derived from the Arabic word naqala, to move.
Beating a path to Africa
The timeframe for mancala's penetration into Africa is not known, and may or may not have preceded
the arrival of Islam. It goes by many names in different African countries, but wari is the most
prevalent. In 1896, a western chronicler of games named Stewart Culin called mancala the "national
game of Africa."
"Africanized" mancala is a spectator sport. Onlookers discuss strategy, dole out advice to (and sometimes interfere with) the primary players. To many western observers this lent a tribal atmosphere to game proceedings. (To modern Americans, it just sounds like ice hockey!)
Westward ho!
Mancala never gained much of a foothold in the non-Islamic parts of Europe. The game did, however, cross
the Atlantic with the African slaves, landing first in the West Indies.
Before its arrival in the west, mancala was mostly a secular activity. In Dutch Guiana (northern Brazil) and the West Indies it took on some spiritual overtones. M.J. Herskovitz, an anthropologist, wrote, "It is the game which is played in the House of Mourning to amuse the spirit whose body is awaiting burial." Apparently, the Dutch Guianese didn't want too much communion with the dead person; they kept a few different-sized boards on hand, and played on the type most disliked by the deceased!
Regional incarnations
Though six and seven cups per row is most common, the number of cups differs from place to place.
Children imitate the adults by playing mancala games with only two or three holes in each row. Some
regions (especially in Africa) use mancala boards with up to 28 cup-holes per side. One type of mancala
game, with up to three and four rows of six (or more) cups each and only two beans per cup, is common in
eastern and southern Africa. A greater quantity of holes requires more playing pieces and more time to
finish a game.
In West Africa, as in Syria and Egypt, mancala did not cross gender lines: men played with other men, and women played with women. In most Asian countries and the Philippines, men usually don't play the game at all.
Mancala might be played on a hinged board, as Thevenot reported, or dug right out of the ground. Non-hinged boards usually had two extra receptacles for storing captured pieces. The extra receptacles are especially common in the far east (southern China, Indonesia, and the Philippines).
Playing pieces are beans, seeds, berries, stones, or anything convenient. Play is normally counterclockwise. However, in some areas the first player determines the direction of sowing (i.e., piece distribution).
Some regional variations include the following rule: if the last piece is sown on a player's own side, that cup is immediately lifted and sown into the other cups. Rules for capture also differ greatly from place to place. In some circles, cheating is commonplace, and in fact the player is highly regarded who can cheat without being detected. In one place, recorded by Murray, this inspired a corresponding rule that players sowing must keep their hands high above the board, so their moves could be monitored closely by the opponent.
Game rules
If you are seated in the top position, the tall cup on the top is your mancala and the cups on the left
are yours. Use what you prefer to determine which player goes first. Choose one of your cups to start
play with.
The stones from the cup you choose are distributed counter-clockwise around the board. Stones you play are dropped in your mancala but not in your opponent's manacala.
If the last stone from the choosen cup drops into your mancala, you get to play again. This can repeat as many times as you continue to play cups that end at your mancala.
If the last stone from the choosen cup drops into one of your empty cups, that stone plus all stones in the opponent's cup directly across the board go into your mancala.
When one player's cups are empty, any stones left in the opponent's cups are put into the opponent's mancala and the game ends. The player with the larger mancala wins.

India bans Zakir Naik's NGO for 5 years, terms "unlawful"
| Updated On: 15 Nov 2016 3:07 PM GMT | Location :
Union Cabinet has decided to declare Zakir Naik�s Islamic Research Foundation an outlawed organisation under UAPA
The Government of India on Tuesday banned the NGO floated by controversial Islamic scholar and televangelist Dr Zakir Naik for five years with immediate effect.
Union Cabinet has decided to declare Zakir Naik's Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) an outlawed organisation under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
The IRF's registration under the FCRA was renewed in September inadvertently despite multiple probes against Naik, which then lead to suspension of a Joint Secretary and four other officials in the Home Ministry.
Meanwhile, the Mumbai Police had recenlty closed its probe into suspicions of cheating or duping of funds by the IRF due to no complaint.
"For us to probe the irregularities, we require a complaint. In the IRF case, the Rs 60 crore donation which has been found to be suspicious, no one has come forward to lodge a complaint that they have been cheated or the money was fraudulently obtained by the IRF," a senior official from the State Home Departmentsaid earlier.
Naik came under the scanner of the security agencies after Bangladeshi newspaper 'Daily Star' reported that one of the perpetrators of the July 1 terror attack in Dhaka, Rohan Imtiaz, ran propaganda on Facebook last year quoting Naik.
Recently, Zakir Naik's IRF Educational Trust had put under prior permission category, thus preventing it from receiving foreign funds without getting nod from the central government.
The decision came after different investigations reportedly found Naik to be "involved" in utilising funds meant for his NGOs for alleged radicalisation of youths and "inspiring" them into terror activities, official sources said told media agency.

Biographical / Historical
American poet Lola Ridge was born Rose Emily Ridge in Dublin, Ireland in 1873. At age three she and her mother moved first to Sydney, Australia and then to New Zealand. She took classes through Trinity College (England) and studied art under Julian Ashton at the Academie Julienne in Australia. She moved to New York in 1908. Her radical poetry appeared in The Ghetto and Other Poems (1918), Emma Goldman's monthly, Mother Earth, as well as in more mainstream periodicals. She wrote poetry on radical themes, and about her anarchist friends Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman. After World War I, Ridge revived Alfred Kreymborg's magazine, Others, and served as the American editor of Broom. In 1923 she won Poetry magazine's Guarantor's Prize. During her lifetime, Ridge published five books of poetry, including Firehead, about the Crucifixion. She completed Firehead in 1929 at the Yaddo retreat. In the 1930s she visited Paris and Baghdad, and a Guggenheim fellowship enabled her to travel to Taos, New Mexico, and parts of Mexico. She received the Shelley Memorial Award in 1934 and 1935. Lola Ridge died of cardiomyopathy in 1941.

I write this post, partially in jest, but mostly to educate those who might be coming over. It's one topic I remember reading about before getting here, and being terrified about. I have been a passenger for the last 10 months…not a joke. My husband has driven everywhere. He's seemingly cool behind the wheel, actually having fun navigating the rules of the road here. Meanwhile, I gasp, say a few swear words, grab onto my seat and anything else, and just hope we get from point A to point B without incident.
However, I was recently forced to drive for two weeks last month while he was out of town. The first morning I did, I literally felt sick to my stomach and had panic surging through my veins. For the first few days, this is how it went. First, I promised I wouldn't drive with my kids in the car until I got the hang of things. Second, I drove slow. Yep, I was the annoying one everyone passed up (well, it's not that hard to get passed up here). Third, when I'd arrive at my destination, I'd only then realize how white and clinched my hands were on the wheel.
After my first week of driving in the UAE, here's what I had learned thus far…
1. Don't be in a hurry, it's not worth it.
2. If you're flashed by the car behind you, just get over…period.
3. Forget the rules of the road you learned elsewhere. The UAE has it's own version of traffic rules, which can be summarized as "Buckly up, grab the 'oh s*** handle, and pray!"
4. You could assume that at a roundabout, the inner lane if for turning left, the center lane is for going straight, and the outside lane is for turning right…but that would just be silly. Use your blinker, keep your eyes open, and follow the traffic flow the best you can.
5. An O.J. type high-speed chase causing alarm? Nope, everyone drives like that here. You will be zoomed past quite often…please don't try to keep up!
6. Make sure your car can accelerate quickly…you'll need it, especially in a roundabout.
7. Learn the name of every roundabout, your directions will revolve around them. But just make sure you're talking about the same roundabout. 🙂
8. Pay attention to hotels, buildings, and the name of the little cafeteria by the clock next to the post office and kiddie corner from the Islamic bank…yep, if there's no roundabout, you're directions will depend on these landmarks.
9. Yellow lights don't really mean slow down.
10. Don't be surprised if the road you thought you were on has a different name the next time you look at a sign.
11. You'll be honked at no matter what. Follow the rules, don't follow the rules, just get used to being honked at.
12. Humps ahead does not mean camel crossing, it means speed bumps which can launch your car if going too fast. These things can be BIG!
13. The speed limit posted is not the speed limit. You can actually go 20 over.
14. The police emergency number and ambulance number is 999, but good luck trying to tell them where you are!
15. Anyone in a Land Cruiser, Patrol, Lexus or Armada with tinted windows has the right of way. Period!
16. Zero tolerance means zero tolerance, no ifs ands or buts.
17. Making a right hand turn on a red light is ILLEGAL!
However, on a serious note, driving here is NOT like home. You do have to be careful and watch out at all times. According to The Bureau of Consular Affairs, "Traffic accidents are a leading cause of death in the UAE. According to the World Health Organization, the UAE has the highest rate of road fatalities in the Middle East and one of the highest rates in the world. Drivers often drive at high speeds. Unsafe driving practices are common, especially on inter-city highways. On highways, unmarked speed bumps and drifting sand create additional hazards. Pedestrians should also use great care on the roads of the UAE –over 25 percent of road fatalities are pedestrians."
I believe that a lot of the issues with driving here have to do with a country that is 80% or more expatriate, meaning everyone is coming from a different schooling of driving and rules. To get my license here, I did not have to take a driving test…just turned over my license and learned the "rules" of the road on my own through oberservation and eventually, driving. I know some other countries are required to take a driving test upon getting their license here, but only a few. So, it's no wonder that driving here is a little crazy and unexpected at times.
There's also question as to what the actual rules are for children in cars here. You might see them in the back seat on laps, or in the front seat on laps. But it is my understanding that a law was recently passed, like days ago, enforcing the use of carseats based on height and weight which is just wonderful! There's also a fabulous non-profit awareness campaign in Dubai called Buckle Up in the Back Dubai. They are trying to bring awareness to the importance of keeping our children safe on the roads.
Overall, I will say, it has actually been a lot of fun driving here. I can only hope that driving here will prepare me to drive anywhere in the World, and hopefully as a safer driver.
Buckle Up, Drive Safe!

Placing ninth on The X Factor usually results in a year of Butlins headline gigs and nightclub PAs. It's tough enough for the winner to prove themselves as a credible music artiste, let alone a contestant who failed to garner public support early on in the live final stages. However, it's a hurdle 2010 competitor Aiden Grimshaw has overcome to deliver a surprisingly solid debut.
If lead single 'Is This Love' with its glitches, twitches and skidding bass seemed like an unconventional move for a former reality star, then the remainder of Misty Eye will feel downright strange. We'll admit it; we're not used to X Factor alumni driving off the safe-as-houses pop path that generally includes orchestral indie covers and overproduced chart fluff.
"Well hold on to this," Aiden demands on opener 'Hold On' surrounded by a smorgasbord of grinding beats, stomping piano and trickling percussion that, unexpectedly, has a giant whiff of Moby to it. It's a lofty comparison, but one that recurs on title track 'Misty Eye' and current single 'Curtain Call'. Disjointed thuds underline distorted ad-libs and contained strings, gloriously showcasing Grimshaw's ambitious soundscape and vision.
What's more, Aiden's intense stage persona oozes through his deeply fervent lyrics of heartbreak and despair. "Behind my eyes I'm terrified/ Now you're gone," he admits on 'This Island', before declaring that the solitary space is "suicidal". It's painfully hard stuff, but refreshingly honest. His chances of winning The X Factor may have ended criminally early, but Misty Eye is beyond a winner's album. It's interesting, it's daring and, most importantly of all, it's Aiden's.

Two Boosie albums in two months? We expect "Out My Feelings (In My Past)" to be another riveting project.
Good Lord, the man doesn't stop. Two weeks after his latest album, In My Feelings (Goin Thru It), which focused on his recent battle with kidney cancer, Boosie Badazz has announced he has a sequel ready for imminent release: Out My Feelings (In My Past).
The new album will be available on February 1, exactly one month after In My Feelings, on Boosie's own Bad Azz Music Syndicate. The Out My Feelings cover art shows a collage of photos of pivotal moments from Boosie's past, the largest of which is an image of him in tears as an inmate of the infamous Angola penitentiary. In front of that painful image is a more recent photo of Boosie with a big smile on his face, so perhaps the album will include moments of victory amid all the past struggle.
Check back at the top of next month to hear Out My Feelings (In My Past).
