Don't Miss Annapolis
Known as the 'sailing capital of the world', Annapolis sits on the exquisite Chesapeake Bay and is home to the US Naval Academy. Annapolis, the capital of Maryland, has beautiful natural surroundings and stunning architecture, including stately buildings. There is plenty of lively entertainment, with a hint of English charm permeating through the city.
Baltimore-Washington International Airport is around 32 kilometers from Annapolis. Domestic, international, and transatlantic services make up the 800 flights servicing the airport daily. A regular and reliable shuttle bus service travelling to the Naval Academy or your hotel will drop you off.
An extensive, safe and well signposted road network makes the city accessible by car. Travel along I-695 (Baltimore beltway) to I-97 south and then take US Route 50 east. From there, continue on to Rowe boulevard from US Route 50 to get downtown from points farther north of the city.
The longest serving State House in the country is the grand old Maryland State House, where the Old Senate Chamber features a statue of George Washington. The beautiful formal gardens and lavishly decorated interior of the 1765 William Paca House, as well as the stunning 1774 Hammond-Harwood House, are noteworthy examples of well-preserved buildings.
Frequent parades, sporting events and sheer grandeur make the US Naval Academy a popular jaunt. Here, you can witness the world's largest dormitory with a capacity for over 4,000 midshipmen, an early submarine, and a Mark XIV torpedo commemorating the 3,505 men on board the 52 US submarines lost during WWII.
The Star Toys Museum, set in two rooms of a suburban house around 30 kilometers out of town, should not be missed and will please both children and adults. It is the world's only Star Wars related toy museum with over 6,700 pieces in the collection. Also just 30 kilometers southwest of the city is Wild World, featuring an extensive water park, and over 50 rides plus shows.

Home Aroma Remedies
Aroma makes your home fresh. This is not just the home itself; there are more places where you can use aroma remedies. There are several ideas how to make most often used places and appliances fresh and clean in your house.
Before you start vacuuming, wet a piece of cotton with a few drops of lavender and suck up with the vacuum cleaner. While vacuuming on the cleaning way, the vacuum cleaner will all leave gentle "Provençal» flavor.
Deodorization of Refrigerator
Moisten porous stones of baked clay or ordinary gauze with 1 drop of lavender and drop of lemon (in this case, the essential oils will evaporate faster) and place them on the refrigerator door. Periodically update the essential oils.
Deodorization of Trash
Wash and dry the waste basket, drip one drop of lavender and 1 drop of tea tree on aroma stone, a piece of gauze or a cotton ball and place on the bottom.
How to "Refresh" the Microwave
Have 3 drops of the essential oil of lemon or mint in a bowl of water. Put for 3 minutes.
Toilets Aromatization
Use a small shelf where you can put 2-3 aroma stones with the size of a small cookie. Put a few drops lavender, ylang -ylang or pine on the stones. Change the oil every week. This simple procedure fills the toilet with delicate scent and heals the atmosphere.
Aromatization of Laundry
It is becoming quite popular to add essential oils in the wash. You should not limit yourself in choosing flavors. There are two ways: either you add in a tumble dryer terry mitten, on which you drip 7 drops of lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus, or roses (or any other oil, your favorite), or add 3 drops of the same oil to the water to add to the iron. Remember that essential oils are not greasy and your clothes do not get dirty.
Cleaning and Disinfection of All Surfaces
Add 30 drops of lavender, tea tree oil and/or lemon juice (30 drops – total, not each) in one liter of spirit vinegar. Then shake it well. This simple and economical structure perfectly cleans and disinfects all surfaces.
Deodorant for the Room
Pour a few drops of peppermint in a spray bottle with water. Shake and spray the room.
Getting Rid of the Insects
How to use toxic insecticides that are harmful for humans and for animals, which also smell bad, it is better to spray in the air essential oils – lavender, cedar and eucalyptus. No gun? Then add a few drops in a bowl of hot water or even on pieces of cotton balls and place them around the room.
A House without the Moth
Add 5 drops of cypress and 5 drops of lavender to aroma stone, wooden cube, or on a piece of gauze (it then put in a cloth pouch). Put in a wardrobe or chest of drawers with the laundry. Regularly change to a new one.
A House without Ants
Add 5 drops of lavender and 10 drops of peppermint in a spray bottle with ¼ liter of water. Spray the mixture to the "favorite" trails of ants and especially in the place of their nest. Repeat several times a day for several days.
No comments yet. You should be kind and add one!

Read This If…
- You are in the midst of a desperate place and need to be reminded of God's love.
- You are hungry to devour Scripture, specifically Psalm 107, to gain insight into God's character.
- You need reminded that your cries are being heard and answered by God.
Publisher's Summary
"Sometimes He wrings the worship from our hearts." There are times when worship overflows easily and effortlessly from a heart full of gratitude and praise. Yet, there are other times when God seems far and we feel we have nothing to offer. We are tired, thirsty, or imprisoned in our own chains through our own devices, or caught in the waves of a tumultuous sea. This is when God shows us His steadfast love.
He wraps His eternally powerful, ultimately creative, nail-scarred hands around our hearts and squeezes with appropriate might—yielding an honest plea for Him to save us and deliver us from our circumstances, fears, and self-control. And He does. He initiates with His steadfast love and responds with the same.
Review by Jessica Hawk
A thorough reflection on Psalm 107, Steadfast Love is written from a place of Lauren Chandler's personal knowledge and understanding of riding out an intense and extreme storm of life.
Lauren unfolds Psalm 107 verse-by-verse and speaks of four kinds of people crying out to Christ – home-seekers, hero-seekers, healer-seekers and hand-seekers. Her conclusion is that all four kinds of people find everything that they need in Jesus. All we need is to cry out.
As she reflects on the Scripture, she also shares from a place of vulnerability and transparency. She speaks from the depths of the storms of her life and relays how the Lord has revealed his steadfast love to her personally.
Lauren Chandler is a true artist. Her words in Steadfast Love are strong and beautiful. She bridges well her interpretation of the Psalm and her testimony of God's love.
I enjoyed walking through the pages of this book alongside Psalm 107 in my Bible and gaining additional insight from Lauren's perspective. The format of the book takes Psalm 107 and divides it up into four parts, which makes it very conducive to group study and discussion. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book over and over again.

Psychologist David Berndt, Ph.D., in Overcoming Anxiety, outlines several self-help methods for relief from anxiety and worry. In clear language and a conversational style. Dr. Berndt talks with the reader like he might in a therapy session, and he shares what he has learned from his clients about how to make techniques for anxiety management more effective and helpful..
You will be able to learn:
- A Self-hypnosis grounding technique in the Ericksonian tradition.
- Box Breathing, Seven Eleven and similar breathing techniques for anxiety relief.
- How to stop or interrupt toxic thoughts that keep you locked in anxiety.
- How to harness and utilize your worries, so they work for you.
- Relief from anxiety through desensitization and exposure therapy.
Designed to be used alone as self-help or in conjunction with professional treatment, Dr. Berndt draws upon his experience as a clinician and academic researcher to give accessible help to the reader who wants to understand and manage their anxiety.
Overcoming Anxiety by David Berndt is a short self-help guidebook that offers readers an array of anxiety relief strategies based on novel therapeutic and cognitive behavioral techniques used by psychologists. It focuses on using proven techniques to overcome anxiety, panic, and dread, without the use of anti-anxiety medications, allowing readers to begin understanding the biological and social aspects of anxiety as a disorder. Topics include: "Managing Anxiety by Coming to Your Senses", "Breathing Easy", "Worries That Work", "Defusing Fears and Anxiety", "Thinking Clearly", and "All in Your Head? Physiological Factors in Anxiety, Stress and Panic"; covering both mental and physical facets of the disorder. The format is well-structured and easy-to-understand, but certain areas include more psychological jargon than entirely necessary. That said, the material is still very accessible and can be easily implemented/ modified by readers and/or therapists. Overall, I found this guidebook to be a good resource for people with mild to severe anxiety issues. I myself tend to become anxious at times, and the 54321 technique definitely helped me to relax and focus on other objects (not the stressor), especially when presenting projects at work. Overcoming Anxiety indeed holds a lot of worthy information in its forty-five pages, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for relief from anxiety and associated feelings.
Rating: Bounty's Out (3.75/5)
"...so I am teaching you my version. My modifications of the 54321 grounding technique have been improved and changed by my clients, to fit their needs. I would be pleased if you chose to change the technique somewhat, so that the skill rightly belongs very much to you.
In fact, I hope you can forget that I taught it to you, and instead give yourself the entire credit. If you do the 54321 senses technique right, it will be yours. You will be comforted not only by your skills, but by the knowledge that there is so much relief available right inside you.
How and When the Technique Works
Before we start, I want to explain a little bit about how it works. This technique is a good way to learn to manage or change any strong feeling. It not only works with anxiety, but with anger as well – in fact it can help with any feeling that is too strong. However, it is not really suited to dealing with sadness, a feeling for which we typically will use other methods. But the five sense technique really has the potential to work like a charm when you are anxious, fearful or worried.
This method does not aim to rid you of your anxiety or fear, and it does not - and should not - entirely stop the worry or fretting, or solve all your pressing problems. What it can do is shrink the troubling feeling so it can be a lot smaller, and not feel so strong and compelling.
You don't necessarily want to lose your feelings of fear or anxiety, because these feelings can be useful. Let me explain why.
Anxiety is a signal that something is either already wrong, or about to become a problem, or so you believe. It is like a red or yellow light, at a traffic signal. It tells you, "wait a second, something is up!" When you are afraid, you usually have a good idea about what it is you are afraid of, but with anxiety you don't even really know what it is.
In either case, you don't necessarily want to get rid of the signal, you just want to make it smaller, and more manageable. The signal is supposed to be useful, and in response to a signal, you are supposed to do something, right? That is what anxiety is – anxiety signals for you to do something. If something frightens you or makes you mad, you will probably want to fix it.
If you bend your leg too far one direction, you feel pain, and that signal tells you stop bending it. If you cut yourself, you may use the pain signal to remember to clean a wound, and maybe even to get a bandage. But if the pain is too big, then it is not so useful. You need enough of the pain to get the message, but not so much that it will drive you crazy or keep you awake.
The same thing holds true with anxiety. A problem that is worrying you - or that you are afraid of, or dreading - probably needs your attention. But if there is too much anxiety or fear, or too many worries, then you are likely to get overwhelmed and not make use of the anxiety signal to make the needed changes.
To go back to the traffic light metaphor, if you make use of the yellow light at the signal, then you will likely change your speed - slow down or speed up - in order to avoid a collision. But if the light was so bright that you couldn't see the intersection well, then that signal is not of much use. It might even cause you to crash, or sit there frozen until someone coming through the intersection hits you.
So the problem with controlling anxious feelings lies in learning how to shrink - but not get rid of - that big feeling of anxiety. The technique I intend to teach you uses your body's five senses. It "grounds" the strong feelings in your body, in much the same manner as an electrical ground releases the pent up electrical charge that it drains off.
This technique is one method you can use to do neutralize your big unmanageable feelings. It is derived from several different approaches to managing feelings. One approach that is utilized, as part of the 54321 Technique, is self-hypnosis; it is easy to do, and easy to learn just from reading this chapter. As such, the 54321 Technique makes use of some principals from Ericksonian hypnosis, indeed most credit that technique to Milton Erickson's wide Betty. More about that later.
Distraction is another approach I draw upon with the 54321 Technique. The mindfulness literature provides a context that is important as a third body of knowledge I drew upon in refining this technique.
Distraction as Way to Manage Anxiety
Think back to the last time you saw a child throwing a temper tantrum. What can you as an adult do that can make the child stop? If your six year old nephew is along on your shopping trip, and he gets it in his head that he wants some extra candy or that chocolate-coated cereal, what can you do?
Distracting him is one approach that works fairly well. You can distract the child with a serious threat and a loud voice, or maybe with some tickling, but a more pleasant and effective way is to just get them thinking about something else. If your child or nephew is a fan of Disney, you can get them talking about the trip the family has planned for next week to Disneyland. If your eight year old is into collecting coins, you can pull out a pocketful, and soon he will be inspecting your change for their latest treasure.
Adults do not have as many temper tantrums, but distraction works as well with their version of these affective storms. Indeed, one of the classic techniques of anxiety management uses distraction at the core of it - you simply find a distraction from the feeling of anxiety and run with it. The idea is this: if you can find a way to distract yourself - or have someone else distract you - then that distraction takes your mind off the anxiety. Of course something distracting works best when you find the distraction sufficiently interesting, so that it can easily hold your attention.
If your child is into Disney, or coin collecting, then that will probably work to divert them from a tantrum. The distraction has to be something they like, are interested in, or that they find compelling for some other reason. It has to be at least as interesting – ideally more so – than the thing causing the tantrum.
So, too, you will need something quite interesting to divert your anxiety. If you can use distraction to overcome a child's tantrum in the supermarket, surely you can find a way to use the same principal on yourself, if you want to manage your own out of control feelings. The 54321 technique as I teach it uses this principal of distraction, as a core feature, and it teaches you cool ways to distract yourself from your anxiety.
Using the 54321 technique, you can get really good at finding ways to distract yourself from your anxiety, and that is only one third of the recipe I am preparing for you.
Mindfulness- Embracing the NOW
For the purposes of teaching the technique, I will be asking you to get distracted by noticing your world around you, in the here and now, using your five senses. While there are plenty of things you and I can think of that could capture the imagination even more completely, we are all interested in what we see, hear, feel, smell and taste. It is certainly a lot easier to teach this method if I use something everybody experiences, so I am utilizing these five senses. It just so happens that this is making use of another area of psychology- the mindfulness literature.
Mindfulness research has shown that paying attention in the here and now to what your senses are experiencing can be a very powerful way to bring your feelings under control..."

text: Fiver Malcolm Steps Out of His Comfort Zone to Star in "Fences" To watch Malcolm on stage at Essex Street Academy, you would think he was a natural performer; however, acting hasn't always been a passion of his. Prior to his leading role in "Fences" Malcolm had never acted in anything, but when it was announced that his school would be staging a production of this Pulitzer Prize-winning play by August Wilson he knew he wanted to try out for a part. Malcolm was assigned to read "Fences" for class during his freshman year, and it was his favorite book that year due to its captivating plot and seamless combination of comedy and drama. He hoped to be cast in the lead role as Troy Maxson, and was very happy to learn that he had earned it.Of course, landing the part was just the beginning. Malcolm and his cast-mates rehearsed the play for four months leading up to their stage performances. While Malcolm admits to being overwhelmed by his role at first, he found his lines easier to remember with each rehearsal: "Troy speaks about 90% of the time. That's a lot of lines, so I thought, how am I going to remember all of them? But as we kept rehearsing, the lines just stuck to me."Leading up to opening night, Malcolm became more and more nervous. Being cast as the lead character comes with a lot of attention and the pressure to perform well. Malcolm credits the support of his cast-mates and stage directors for helping him through that first performance: "I was really nervous, it was my first play ever. I got the biggest role and I thought, what if I mess up? The show could be ruined because of one little mess up from me. And everybody kept telling me, just say what you remember, if you mess up one of the lines, we'll make it work. And it relaxed me."Malcolm and his cast-mates put on an excellent production of "Fences," and while Malcolm is proud of their performances, he admits that the final show was a bittersweet experience. His cast-mates had become like family members to him over their months of rehearsal, and they were all sad to see the play that they had worked so hard on come to a close. Says Malcolm of their final performance: "We knew we just had to put on the best show that we could possibly put on. And that's exactly what happened. Nobody dropped a line, everybody was using the full range of emotions - it was wonderful."Malcolm's experience has helped him discover his natural talent and passion for acting. He hopes to continue to act in school productions, and his dream role would be to star in his favorite musical, "Aladdin." However, he would never have discovered his love of acting had he not been motivated to try out for "Fences." He shares the following advice: "Don't be afraid to try new things. Honestly, at first I didn't want to try out for this play because I had stage fright, I was scared to be loud and be out there. But then after the play I realized that acting might just be my calling. So always put yourself out there, always do things that you might not normally so you can get a new experience."Malcolm and the Fiver Team at Essex Street Academy after a performance of "Fences" Attachment Posted on Tue, February 28, 2017 by Rachel Sangalang

Dashi is an essential element in many Japanese dishes and considered fundamental to Japanese cooking. It provides a savory flavour and is much easier to make than meat stock. It forms the base for miso soup, clear broth, noodle soup and other simmering liquid.
Here, I make a basic dashi using dried bonito flakes which is available in Japanese supermarkets.
Just boil 4 cups of water to one cup of flakes (accuracy not critical). Bring water to boil, add flakes, and when water boils again, turn off heat and let sit till flakes sink to bottom. Strain. Discard used flakes.
Dashi can be kept in a freezer as ready stock whenever you feel like a bowl of ramen in the middle of the night.
Dashi sounds like "da xi" in Chinese which means abundance and prosperity - how appropriate that this comes on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Gongxi, Gongxi. Dashi, Dashi! Enter the Year of the Dragon!
Look out for the next post when I use Dashi to make Chawanmushi!

Mudbound is the first novel by Hillary Jordan, who grew up in Dallas, Texas and Muskogee, Oklahama. The book is almost entirely set on and around a cotton farm in the late 1940s in the Mississippi Delta not far from Greenville, and takes the form of a multiple narrative in six voices – three from the white McAllan family, and three from the black Jackson family:
Laura McAllan is a warm, tolerant city woman from Memphis, Tennessee and a 31-year-old virgin when she meets the man who will become her husband. She is shocked when several years later her family is forced to move to a primitive shack in Mississippi, on a farm prone to isolation by flooding. Things are made worse by the fact that her husband's father, a racist and a misogynist, also lives with them.
Henry McAllan is Laura's husband and is steady and reliable but a little too conventional, a little too accepting of old ways and of his father in particular. The land is in his blood.
Jamie is Henry's beloved brother. A handsome man who has women flocking to him, he first greatly impresses Laura when he dances with her at the famous Peabody in Memphis. He will later return from the war to live with the McAllan family, somewhat traumatised and with an addiction to whiskey.
Hap Jackson is a share tenant on Henry's property who is keen to get justice for his family but is aware of the dangers of stepping too far over the line in a Jim Crow society where the whites hold all the trump cards.
Florence Jackson is Hap's wife and the local midwife who also helps Laura out with household jobs. She is an intelligent woman who is also a good psychologist.
Ronsel Jackson is Hap and Florence's son and – transgressively – forms a close friendship with Jamie. He too comes with mental baggage from the war, part of it caused by a love affair with a white German woman. He finds it very difficult to adjust to a society which eagerly uses blacks as cannon fodder to protect itself but will not even acknowledge that they should have the same rights as anyone else.
Bit by bit, the six voices unravel into a powerful story of mindless racial violence, adulterous sex, and parricide.

|Project Summary: The lake sturgeon may be able to return to the Great Lakes in greater numbers thanks to this sturgeon rearing facility that has introduced more than 7,400 of the native fish back to the Lakes.
Project Name: Lake Sturgeon Imprinting Project
Location: Newburg, Wisconsin
Description: Around 1800, sturgeons were abundant in the Great Lakes and used the Milwaukee River as a spawning ground. By 1850 a dam was put into the Milwaukee, about 5 miles from Lake Michigan, and this prevented adult sturgeon from making it
upstream to their spawning grounds. For the last 150 years, the spawning success of the lake sturgeon has been on the decline as their upstream spawning habitats, in places like the Milwaukee River, have been decimated. These fish spawn in small rivers or estuaries and imprint on the place they were born, returning to spawn in the same location at reproductive maturity. The Milwaukee River lake sturgeon streamside rearing facility uses this biological signal to help maximize the probability lake sturgeon will return to successfully spawn. The facility, operated by both the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the Riveredge Nature Center, provides a safe space adjacent to their natural environment and uses river water for the incubators. The hope is that the sturgeon will imprint on the natural space and return to spawn. The main goal of this project is to support lake sturgeon populations so they may once more flourish naturally.
Approximate Cost of the Project: $200,000
Resource Challenges Addressed: Lake sturgeon blocked from accessing their spawning habitat in the Milwaukee River, low population levels of lake sturgeon in the Great Lakes
Key Partners (Public and Private): Great Lakes Fisheries Trust, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Riveredge Nature Center volunteers, University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, and U.S. Geological Survey
Types of Jobs Created: Fish biologists, construction workers, and general laborers
Results and Accomplishments: Since 2003, the Milwaukee River lake sturgeon streamside rearing facility has been operating to help the population of lake sturgeon regain strength in the Great Lakes. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has stocked 7,400 sturgeons into the Great Lakes population through the Milwaukee River program. Since sturgeons take between 10 years and 20 years to reach maturity, the success of the project is just starting to be assessed, but researchers have begun spotting tagged sturgeon in the Milwaukee River.

Where to Labor
You may prefer to do most of your laboring at home. This will give you the freedom of laboring in your own way. There are no restrictions or rules at home. Once you are in active labor, and depending on the distance to the birthing facility, you can decide when to go to the birthing facility.
You may prefer to do most of your laboring at the birthing facility. Keep in mind, you may be restricted to a bed. You may not be able to labor as freely as you would at home. You will have constant fetal monitoring, possibly an IV, and you will not be able to eat.
As your doula, I prefer that you call me when you think you are in labor, even if you don't need me yet. I can answer any questions and make suggestions over the phone. We will decide if I will join you right away, wait for further change, and where we will meet.
Except for extraordinary circumstances, I will remain with you throughout your entire labor, birth, and initial breastfeeding.

Aricent recently hosted a webinar titled "Leveraging LTE Networks for Internet of Things (IoT)". In this webinar our experts discussed the various challenges that crop up when deploying IoT over LTE and how they can be addressed by optimizing certain network features. They also discussed how to address the various deployment and operational challenges that are faced when using LTE for IoT. They also provided insights into how LTE can be effectively leveraged for IoT through enhanced security, dynamic subscriber management and optimized subscriber and location updates.
Given the huge number of questions asked during the webinar, we were not able to answer every one of them live, so we've addressed them below.
1. Why do you feel LTE would aid IoT?
IoT applications have a completely different traffic pattern. LTE provides robust connectivity for IoT applications with different traffic patterns, even when they are constantly on the move. Also, a huge number of devices can be registered on LTE with SIM based authentication and they can be provided variable traffic patterns.
2. Will LTE replace 2G/3G IoT installations?
Aricent feels that current 2G/3G IoT installations shall continue as is since upgrading them would be cost intensive. However, all new installations will be LTE based. Gradually as operators move on from 2G, they will all adopt LTE based interfaces.
3. What are the key service related issues that need to be handled in LTE networks for IoT?
For commercial LTE networks, there are defined traffic pattern and hence all tarrifs are based on these traffic patterns. For IoT the traffic patterns are very different and hence operators need to define different billing solutions for the same. Also they need to define different policy control such that commercial networks are not affected due to IoT installations.
4. Is it possible to achieve multi-year operation with battery operated LTE modems?
For commercial phones, the traffic pattern changes and hence battery usage is not optimal, but for LTE IoT devices the traffic pattern can be defined and hence they can be signalled in most efficient manner to use minimal battery power. However, no devices that exist currently can achieve multi-year operation without batter change.
5. How will the IoT devices tariff plans be laid?
Tariff plans for IOT devices would be laid based on applications. Traffic pattern depends on the application which defines the usage of the network resources.
6. What advantages do you see in deploying parallel LTE-RAN devices for IoT?
LTE RAN running in parallel to the other commercial RAN helps in defining the QoS and priority for the IoT devices without impacting commercial usage. IoT can leverage a parallel Core which can be put in cloud and can be easily scaled-up or scaled-down, which is very essential for IOT as the devices get powered up or down on a large scale.
7. What types of applications will be used for maximizing usage of LTE for IoT?
Various applications are being perceived by service provides mainly in fleet management, home appliances, connected cars, and smart metering / smart energy.
8. Why are cloud based technologies necessary in case of LTE for IoT?
Complete core networks when hosted in cloud for LTE over IoT can help in scaling up or scaling down the systems which is extremely essential for IoT.
9. Is LTE for IoT hype or is it here to stay?
Many service providers are investing in LTE for IOT. The investments are also being done on additional infrastructure. These investments are proof that large scale LTE for IoT deployments will be leveraged extensively
10. Slide 7 seems to imply an interpretation of IoT as "sensor" network, i.e. no distributed automation is supported (for which requirements such as availability, low latency, etc. are of interest). Is this interpretation correct?
Largely yes, it refers to sensor network but LTE could also be used in conjunction with QoS supported for distributed automation networks. LTE as technology can also be used as IoT gateways for backhaul connectivity for distributed automation networks using other wireless links with the nodes like WiFi/Zigbee/wirelessHART etc as appropriate for the application
11. Seems like WiFi will beat LTE in many applications given fixed points and the HUGE data cost advantage of WiFi. What are your thoughts on this?
For fixed point devices, WiFi will be important, if they are data centric, non-real-time applications. All IoT networks are not similar. There are applications which require QoS which can be best achieved using LTE. Some IoT fixed applications use traffic pattern differently at different time of the day. For them too LTE is an advantage as one can control the strength of RAN devices based on usage. Also many IoT applications are signaling centric rather than data centric, for them too LTE is better suited than WiFi.
12. Please elaborate on MSISDN-less addressing?
IoT applications are mainly used for device to application or device to device signaling. For them MSISDN is not required. MSISDN is a network resource and hence operators can gain by not providing MSISDN to such devices, but still allow communication.
13. The cable (MSO) company is poised to lead – not the MNO. Please let us know your thoughts?
Aricent agrees with this thought that when WiFi will be deployed it will be led by cable operators rather than MNOs.
14. When is release 12 going to be commercially available?
Rel-12 could be commercially available by 2016-17.
15. Any studies on how the new low complexity/low capacity Type 0 device will effect bandwidth on sector – particularly on UL?
These kind of devices will be heavy on signaling and can lead to lot of signaling with home networks for authentication. It is best suited if operators have a parallel overlay network for IoT.
16. USA LTE vendors' service plans are cell phone oriented: Minutes & Gigabits per phone or per "family" (1-6 units) at a cost of $240/year. When do you see these reaching $30/year in the USA for low data IoT devices?
Aricent feels that IoT devices shall be governed by a totattly different tariff plan and will not be based on data. It can be based on number of devices, type of applications, flat rate for usage of month, etc.
17. What's the protocol used for MTC to communicate with its server, proprietary one or XMPP or MQTT?
The protocols for MTC to server communication are determined by the kind of applications and the deployments that drive it.
18. Low data usage with higher signaling needs, isn't that a wash for the operator. Why is a parallel network needed for IoT if signaling goes up and data usage goes down?
That is the reality with sensor network! The traffic patterns are different than human voice/data usage. Many IoT applications have the need to send small data packets every few minutes or hours for e.g. utility meters – few times a day; vehicular telemetry – every few minutes when moving. Given infrequent nature of data transfer and battery saving requirements, the devices go into idle mode leading to signaling needs. On the other hand, the scale of such devices in the network is expected to be large. Operators are already pricing IoT applications differently from say smartphones, so we believe this would evolve further.
19. On what basis does signaling increase in IOT devices?
IoT applications have various usages. Consider fleet management. They would have lots of handovers, which many even result in PLMN changes. At every PLMN change there is interface with home network to get new authentication credentials. At every handover, there are signaling exchanges. They may not be heavy on data and hence idle mode may be common and also may result into frequent location updates.
20. Which is your vision for the automotive in all the IOT scenario, in terms of evolution and technical challenges?
In case of automotive industry, IOT applications like synch up of data with home servers, controlling home or office servers, auto update of location, getting real time updates from neighboring areas, knowing promotional schemes, local searches, live video streaming of auto traffic etc. could be basic applications for connected cars. Other automotive applications could be where automotive acts as a device and updates the fleet updates, knows where to park, auto control of the trucks in remote areas, updates of health of cars or trucks.
21. What releases does Aricent EPC-Lite support?
Aricent EPCLite supports 3GPP release 10 for all interfaces with backward compatibility to 3GPP release 8 and 9. It is also compatible to 3GPP release 11 for WiFi interfaces.
22. Msisdn-less is still valid for automotive?
It will be application specific. If it is purely for infotainment/navigation, msisdn-less devices would work. On the other hand, for supporting emergency calls, msisdn would be required.
23. Can you elaborate a little more into the "parallel deployment of the LTE network for IOT" , do we assign a full carrier for IoT?
By parallel deployment, Aricent means that there would be a parallel RAN and core network available for LTE devices, such that the commercial networks are not hindered due to the IoT devices. These could also be centralized in cloud within data centres such that scaling is easily achieved.
24. Do you see in future Unlicensed LTE getting used for In-building IoT?
Yes, that is very much possible. We see lot of trends where operators are exploring unlicensed LTE for in-building deployments. These shall however be only used only for non-real time applications where number of devices in area can change a lot over time.
25. low latency and low priority communication together does not make sense, can you explain
What we mean is that the IoT communication would be real time, but at the same time this shall be lower in priority compared to other commercial networks. In an area if the commercial bandwidth increases, then IoT communication shall be given lower priority and hence latency may increase at that time, but when there is enough bandwidth, the applications of IoT should be such placed so as to provide low latency in signaling to the devices.
26. How will Carrier Aggregation affect IoT device?
Carrier aggregation may not be a direct affect for IOT, but will be used more in commercial markets.
27. When you mention that signaling will increase, do you foresee regular negotiations between carriers considering signaling data usage, as part of the regular data usage of roaming clients? Clients may not be aware of this & feel they are being overcharged.
No, normal commercial users would not be affected and they may be provided signaling in normal commercial networks. Only for the IoT devices, there shall be increase in signaling and hence that would be placed in parallel overlay networks.
28. Is there any specific Network Vendor Inter-Operability testing that would be required (by chipset vendors like Qualcomm and MediaTek) to support Aricent's solution?
Aricent's core network has been interoperated with various devices which also include Qualcomm chipset. Thus there are no special tests required.
29. Will any new spectrum be included in future for IOT devices since LTE already started refarming its 2G resources?
New Bands are being added, for e.g. Band 26-32 and 44 are add in Rel-11/12 compared to Rel-10. However, not sure if exclusive IoT specific bands will be specified.

So, left to my own devices, after midnight, no good comes from access to the Interweb and my credit card. It leads to impulsive purchases for things that I find amusing. Like the above, pink, "tactical" pen, with stylus.
All the boys at work have these masculine, tacticool pens that are made out of damasteel and titanium and kryponite and adamantium. They come in colors like gunmetal, stealth black, carbon grey, sniper grey, olive drab, radiant red and "raw" (?). They have names like Orion or Draco, Sniper or Enforcer, Tuffwriter, Investigator--Double Trouble. It's like Double-Mint or Hubba-Bubba, but tastes like copper and mean. And no bubbles.
Granted, some of these pens are very cool. But there comes a point when it's just Gear Junkie Syndrome. The boys who have these pens will never use them for anything other than writing--and making each other jealous. Perfectly fine reasons, but nothing to do with needing to be tactical.
Also, many of these manly pens look a little...well...butt-pluggy. For real. Go look some up. Just go spend about 10 minutes looking at tactical pens--and tell me that quite a few of them don't totally read "sex toy." I'm just sayin. And sure, my pocket whiskey flask could totally pass for a silver dildo--so I'm just as guilty as the next person. But it's a flask, dammit!
I picked up my pen off amazon for cheap; thought it was a funny riff on the standard tactical pen. It will also irritate my work BFF. She reviles all things pink or feminine, or me. Saw her lose her shit one day because I'd left my pink-camo ear-pro on the corner of a shared desk. She snatched them up and either pantomimeded slamming them down onto the desk--or actually almost did and then caught herself & stopped. I wasn't supposed to see it, but I did. In the end she simply chucked the offending item into a shelf. Thanks, girlfriend!
It sure is a super fun treat working that one. In the words of another female colleague "someone's tampon is on fire."
So when I'm not opening all the rolls of coins in the cash drawers, or wearing my incredibly offensive pink-camo ear-pro, or writing with my tacky and childish PINK tactical pen, or parading my Domokun morale patch about--on my Mini-Me Eberlestock backpack, I'll be thinking of other ways I can gently subvert the testosterone-laden, and tampon-flaming environment in which I presently work.

- Removal of Calculus (tartar) and Plaque: Calculus forms above and below the gum line and can only be removed with special dental instruments. Plaque is a sticky film that forms on teeth. and is comprised of a growing colony of bacteria, which — if left unattended — can cause inflammation (the start of periodontal disease).
- Teeth Polishing: Removes stain and plaque that is not removed during regular brushing.
- Oral hygiene instructions: Tips on proper brushing and flossing techniques.
- Oral Examination: After your teeth cleaning, a doctor will do the examination of the teeth and review the X-rays to determine a treatment plan to get your teeth and oral health into the best possible shape.
The procedure involves wearing a custom fitted clear tray filled with the bleaching solution. The tray must be worn for periods of time, either during the nighttime or daytime. The total process may take days or weeks depending on the changes desired. When undergoing the whitening, we encourage returning to the office so that the process can be monitored and to ensure that your teeth and gums remain healthy.
Your teeth may require periodic touch ups to stay whiter and brighter, therefore it is important to keep the custom fitted tray. Refills of the product are available at our office if needed.
Root canal therapy can be preformed in single or multiple visits. Before the procedure, though, your dentist will advise you as to the number of appointments necessary to complete the canal. If you had an infection or abscess in the tooth, the dentist may choose to have you start antibiotics before completing the root canal. Your dentist will begin the appointment by giving you local anesthetic to "numb" the tooth that is being worked on.
After your tooth is "numb", you may expect the following procedures:
A dental x-ray of the tooth, displaying the entire tooth in the film (called a "periapical x-ray"), is taken for the dentist to refer to during the procedure.
The dentist will place a rubber dam over your mouth. This plastic shield, made from either latex or nonlatex materials, is used to keep the tooth isolated from your saliva and very dry before the final steps are taken to complete the procedure. The dentist will use different chemical solutions to disinfect the inside of the tooth. The rubber dam is helpful in keeping these solutions from entering your mouth.
Next, the dentist will begin the procedure by drilling a small hole through the tooth in to the area known as the pulp chamber — this is where the nerve of the tooth is located.
Your dentist will begin using tiny files, which are designed to remove the nerve from the tooth and any infected tissue. Certain files can be used by hand; others are connected to a slower moving dental hand piece, called a "rotary instrument." The dentist may require another x-ray at this point to determine the length of the root. It is critical that the entire nerve is removed to prevent toothaches after the procedure and re-infection of the tooth, which would result in the need for retreatment or extraction of the tooth. In order to prevent this, the dentist needs to get as close to the tip, or apex of the tooth, to remove all of the nerve. This is usually the longest part of the procedure.
Once the dentist is confident that the entire tooth has been cleaned out, the tooth is dried with tiny absorbent paper points. When completely dry, the dentist will place a material (called "gutta percha") in to the tooth. Gutta percha is a rubber material designed to seal the inside of the tooth.
Your dentist will remove any remaining decay from the tooth and will decide to either put a temporary filling on to close the tooth or proceed with placing a permanent filling. If your root canal is performed by an endodontist; a dentist that specializes in root canals, he will place a temporary restoration and send you back to your general dentist for the restoration. Chances are, your dentist will recommend having a crown put on to the tooth. Since the nerve and blood supply to the tooth has been taken away, the tooth may become brittle over time, resulting in a cracked tooth. A crown is designed to prevent this from happening.
A crown is a type of dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. Crowns are often needed when a large cavity threatens the ongoing health of a tooth.[1] They are typically bonded to the tooth using a dental cement. Crowns can be made from many materials, which are usually fabricated using indirect methods. Crowns are often used to improve the strength or appearance of teeth. While inarguably beneficial to dental health, the procedure and materials can be relatively expensive.
The most common method of crowning a tooth involves using a dental impression of a prepared tooth by a dentist to fabricate the crown outside of the mouth. The crown can then be inserted at a subsequent dental appointment. Using this indirect method of tooth restoration allows use of strong restorative materials requiring time consuming fabrication methods requiring intense heat, such as casting metal or firing porcelain which would not be possible to complete inside the mouth. Because of the expansion properties, the relatively similar material costs, and the aesthetic benefits, many patients choose to have their crown fabricated with gold.
A dental implant is a "root" device, usually made of titanium, used in dentistry to support restorations that resemble a tooth or group of teeth to replace missing teeth.
Virtually all dental implants placed today are root-form endosseous implants, i.e., they appear similar to an actual tooth root (and thus possess a "root-form") and are placed within the bone (endo- being the Greek prefix for "in" and osseousreferring to "bone"). The bone of the jaw accepts and osseointegrates with the titanium post. Osseointegration refers to the fusion of the implant surface with the surrounding bone. Dental implants will fuse with bone, however they lack the periodontal ligament, so they will feel slightly different than natural teeth during chewing.
Dental implants can be used to support a number of dental prostheses, including crowns, implant-supported bridges or dentures. They can also be used as anchorage for orthodontic tooth movement. The use of dental implants permits unidirectional tooth movement without reciprocal action.
A bridge, also known as a fixed partial denture, is a dental restoration used to replace a missing tooth by joining permanently to adjacent teeth or dental implants.
Types of bridges may vary, depending upon how they are fabricated and the way they anchor to the adjacent teeth. Conventionally, bridges are made using the indirect method of restoration. However, bridges can be fabricated directly in the mouth using such materials as composite resin.
A bridge is fabricated by reducing the teeth on either side of the missing tooth or teeth by a preparation pattern determined by the location of the teeth and by the material from which the bridge is fabricated. In other words, the abutment teeth are reduced in size to accommodate the material to be used to restore the size and shape of the original teeth in a correct alignment and contact with the opposing teeth. The dimensions of the bridge are defined by Ante's Law: "The root surface area of the abutment teeth has to equal or surpass that of the teeth being replaced with pontics".
The materials used for the bridges include gold, porcelain fused to metal, or in the correct situation porcelain alone. The amount and type of reduction done to the abutment teeth varies slightly with the different materials used. The recipient of such a bridge must be careful to clean well under this prosthesis.
When restoring an edentulous space with a fixed partial denture that will crown the teeth adjacent to the space and bridge the gap with a pontic, or "dummy tooth", the restoration is referred to as a bridge. Besides all of the preceding information that concerns single-unit crowns, bridges possess a few additional considerations when it comes to case selection and treatment planning, tooth preparation and restoration fabrication.
Enamel loss is a common component of tooth decay, and may result in tooth sensitivity. In many cases, tooth sensitivity caused by enamel loss will be significantly improved or completely eliminated once an appropriate dental filling material is placed.

In order to be, you have to do.
This inconvenient truth continues to slap me in the face.
As an example, I'd like to be a runner. The kind that laces up their shoes (or not, if you are the barefoot kind) and then takes off with the grace of a gazelle, where the miles effortlessly tick by. I'd really like that. In order to get to the gazelle state, I'm told one has to commit to a regular running schedule, with gradual increases in time/distance.
I've tried. I've signed up for all kinds of races to help motivate me. Each time, I put in a carefully calculated volume that allows me to a) survive and b) not look completely like death at finish. That part is important. But I never seem manage to stick with it much past that finish line.
Is because I actually don't desire to do the work, just want the results? I don't know.
Is it because I'm a Vata (great starters, suck at follow through)? I don't know that either.
And at the end of the day, does it even matter? Well, that's what I'd like to find out….
Until then, an imperceptible nod to Running. Perhaps we shall meet again.

Auchentoshan 16 Year Old 1998 vintage Lowland single malt Scotch whiskey. Matured in boubon barrels #102355 & #102357 bottled October 2015 Signatory Vintage for the Un-Chillfiltered series.
Auchentoshan Distillery
Auchentoshan Single Malt Whiskey
Auchentoshan Distillery was built by John Bulloch around 1800 and originally licensed in 1823 as Duntocher Distillery but renamed Auchentoshan Distillery during the 1830s. Auchentoshan is situated just north of Dalmuir, close by the northern bank of the River Clyde. Then it was in the countryside and now hugging the north western fringe of Glasgow yet not far from Loch Lomond. Auchentoshan is now one of the few distilleries in Scotland to produce malt whiskey using a full triple distillation process. Expressions released by Wemyss, Hunter Laing and Cadenheads prove very popular.

Like many other cultures, New Zealanders' main meal is dinner and is eaten in the evening with family and/or friends. Dinner is often made from scratch and home cooked meals are very prominent in New Zealand. Cakes and baked goods are rarely made from a box. Despite the value of homecooked meals, New Zealanders still enjoy take out and fast food as well as dining out in restaurants or gastropubs.
It's no secret that the weather in New Zealand is beautiful, especially in the summer. The weather makes it perfect for barbecue. Families and friends gather in backyards to have a few beers, drink some wine, enjoy the sunshine and some barbecued meat. The meals are often prepared and made up of elements contributed by the host and guests alike. This tradition could perhaps been have derived from Māori gatherings and traditions. Potluck style meals are extremely common in New Zealand whereby everyone invited or attending bring something.
In terms of eating out, the restaurant dining out culture developed in the mid 1970's largely due to looser liquor laws as well as the increasingly popularity of casual dining and cafes which led to the increase in restaurants as well. Dining out is still viewed as something that is for special occasions. However, fast food culture is increasingly prominent and resembles that of United States or Britain. There are a combination of American and western fast food chains along with more local adapted chains as well. Another notable food is the infamous pie; pies are the closest thing to street food in New Zealand and can be sweet or savory and filled with anything from meat to custard.
Breakfast and lunch are both lighter, more casual meals. They are dependent on lifestyle and seasonal ingredients. Sweets are also very prominent in New Zealand with cakes and lollies and pies being hard to avoid.

Nine Inch Nails
It would give us great pleasure to report that Trent Reznor's jolly troupe have foresworn migraine-inducing industrial rock in favour of fiddle and squeezebox. But, they haven't. Which is why, with some surprise, we are forced to note that 'Survivalism' is fantastic – all elemental rage, loud ejaculations of guitars and farting bass-synths. Akin to stage-diving directly into a threshing machine. In a good way.
