Nano Technology.
It is kept secret and unregulated.
The particles are unbelievingly advanced and the components are astonishingly small.
Nano fibers are separately dumped down on us during chemtrail spraying.
We breathe them in. They get in our food and water and we unwillingly ingest them into our body.
Once inside of us they self replicate because the fibers contain components which construct and install nano implants.
These implants invade the blood stream and penetrate the entire vascular system.
They attach to muscles and organs.
They infiltrate the brain and interfere with the nervous system.
They bridge your synapses and encapsulate your neurons and nerve endings.
Once anchored they spread out like a bouquet grabbing on to other nano tubes.
The carbon shell of these minute polycarbonate structures are implanted with microprocessors.
After combining in your body the electrical pulses of these biochips now produce signals that can be monitored.
They become nanobots which send out and receive messages communicating with a controller through a supercomputer.
The host is unaware of what is transpiring.
But it goes much further.
Bio API – Biological Application Programming Interface
The cerebral cortex is where conscious thinking takes place and it is where neurons generate electromagnetic wave forms.
These are digitized and sent to a handler via the nano bots which have taken residence inside the brain.
This technology has advanced to the point where complete control of all body and mind functions is now possible.
Since the nano implants connect to a supercomputer the infected person is now at the mercy of whoever is running the computer.
M.I.T has a 50 million Nano Technology Institute which researches on soldiers treating them as an integrated platform system.
Reading a person's electromagnetic patterns is not that hard.
It is analogous to reading an electron spin resonance machine.
The main command center located near Salt Lake City, Utah has hundreds of handlers competing with each other for points by predicting behavior through mapping a subject's brain wave patterns.
This 'telepathy' is rewarded with bonuses and promotions to bigger projects such as psychic assassins.
Phase 1 is the stage most people are at.
In this phase implants are only partially installed.
These nano sensors function as antennae and are mainly for identification purposes.
They also provide your real time location.
As the nano filaments connect inside the brain suggestions to the subconscious takes place which will be like a brief trance.
A person might think they are having mental delusions.
Suspension of memory can also be achieved by the controller.
False realities and illusions can be created.
Phase 2 occurs when the full Bio API is activated.
This is triggered by a massive intake of synthetic nano fibers.
These fibers are now in low quality foods such as red meat, diet coke, energy drinks and hot dogs.
They are in pharmaceutical drugs.
They are in fast foods especially at places such as McDonalds.
Wal-Mart is heavily involved.
Kraft has been putting nano particulates in their food since the year 2000.
The nano fibers are in increasingly more products.
The primary target is the lower level of society.
The so-called useless eaters.
The subject initially will just hear strange sounds.
Later they will automatically obey what is being broadcast in their minds.
They will have no idea what they are doing.
They may try to fight these impulses but it will result in synapse damage.
The goal is remote control of the nerve firings and synapse response and to program the nano particulates.
Which makes the host into a synthetic surrogate who has their conscious and subconscious thoughts controlled.
Due to this unnatural activity in the brain a phase 2 person's speech will at times becomes nonsensical or gibberish.
Other people's normal speech will at times seem like gibberish to them.
Ocular implants
The nano bots will also set up shop in the eyes.
A nano camera implant will be in the left eye.
The retina will be changed into a bright eerie looking pink glow which will shine when lighted in the dark.
From this nano camera the supercomputer is able to see through the eyes of the infected host.
A bleeding eye is a common result.
We are merging with the machine.
We are being turned into robots operated by remote control.
The definition of what it means to be human is now being changed.
World domination is the motive.
The elite will control the masses because they are viewed as being superfluous and a burden.
This is all happening without your knowledge and without your consent.
It is a most sinister plan.
Everyone on the planet now has nano implants which rewires the brain and allows them to be tracked and eventually become mind controlled on demand.
This is the new automated government administration.
In the future when a person rebels they will become a targeted individual.
The controlled public can be made to stalk them.
Nano surveillance will mean a total loss of privacy.
Cloning which is also done in secret is achieved by copying and transferring brain wave patterns.
Nano poisoning
The unseen hazards are many.
Nano particles are now being put in fertilizers and pesticides which of course are sprayed on our crops.
Once inside of us these microfilaments penetrate our genes, tissues, organs and cells.
Transforming us and rewriting our DNA.
Their toxicity will kill brain cells.
They combine with receptor sites creating an estrogen response making us operate on survival mode.
It is like GMO's on steroids.
Most people have no clue this is taking place.
And it is happening right now.
To all of us.
Morgellons Disease
Morgellons is the attempt of the body to push these nano fibers out through the skin.
In the near future a massive epidemic from a vague and unknown disease will take place.
It will be highly contagious and fatal.
The government will declare a state of emergency and announce mandatory vaccinations for our protection.
That will be just the beginning of the nightmare.
The vaccines will have a cyber virus which mutates cells essentially turning us into machines.
When it reaches the brain we become perfect androids.
The speed of the process will differ from person to person.
Royal Rife
In the 1930's the brilliant Royal Rife invented a device to impart electrical frequencies that can kill cancer cells and eliminate all diseases caused by viruses and bacteria.
The American Medical establishment would have been dealt a severe blow if an inexpensive cure for disease was available so they prevented Royal Rife's invention from being used.
Electrical vbrations has also been used to grow bigger, stronger and healthier crops without chemical fertilizers and pesticides. This was was also eliminated by corporate interests and as a result the synthetic chemicals that were introduced in the 1950's have remained the standard.
This has profited chemical companies in the billions of dollars.
The correct dosage of electric energy would be the cure for nano infiltration because it would short circuit these nano computers. In essence killing them.
High frequency violet rays have been shown to be safe and promote healing.
Why are the elite willing to spray the whole world treating us like insects and pests to be poisoned while putting themselves at risk?
They know how to keep themselves unaffected.
Do not think they eat the same food as the general public.
Phasors on Stun
Thanks to all the barium, strontium, aluminum, nickel, lithium, fluoride, mercury etc. that have been dumped down upon us in chemtrails we are very susceptible to electrical output.
100 to 150 kilovolts will interact with the metals inside us and fry us.
It just so happens that the average police stun gun is 130 Kilovolts.
The cure for nano infiltration would first have to involve the removal of heavy metals from the body.
Hardly anyone doubts their thoughts are not their own.
But do your thoughts sometimes seem foreign?
Is there sometimes a strange voice in your dreams?
Paralleling is when the handler injects their thoughts into the subject's thoughts.
It is hard to conceptualize that there is a command center which is now or eventually will be telling you things that don't belong to you.
It is hard to grasp that there is now or will eventually be people who are watching, monitoring and judging you using a super computer.
It is hard to believe our psyches are being attacked in a massive mind control experiment.
It is hard to comprehend that something straight out of an end of the world apocalypse scenario has now befallen us.
The more we cooperate the more we validate it's existence.
Sometimes when the wave rolls in you can't ride it.
Go under it and avoid it.
And prepare yourself to ride the next one.

Citing his experience, passion, character and attention to detail, Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles named Matt Eberflus the 17th head coach in franchise history Thursday evening.
Eberflus, 51, was the Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator the last four seasons. He takes on his first head-coaching job after 13 years as an NFL coordinator and assistant coach and 17 years as a college assistant.
[ Sports Bettor? Check the Action Network's top sports betting apps ]
Poles hired Eberflus from a group of finalists that included Dan Quinn and Jim Caldwell.
"Throughout the search, Matt impressed me when detailing his vision and plan for our team," Poles said in a statement. "We look forward to getting to work and assembling a top-notch staff and roster that will help us consistently compete for championships."
Eberflus first interviewed with the Bears on Jan. 17 and had a second interview with Poles on Wednesday. He was one of at least 10 candidates who interviewed for the coaching vacancy.
He replaces Matt Nagy, who along with GM Ryan Pace was fired Jan. 10 after a 6-11 finish in 2021 and 34-31 record in four seasons in his first stint as an NFL head coach.
The date of the introductory news conferences for Poles and Eberflus have not been announced.
"I would like to thank Ryan and the McCaskey family for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to lead the Chicago Bears, one of the most storied franchises in all of sports in one of the greatest cities in the world," Eberflus said in a statement. "I am truly humbled and honored to be named your head coach and together we will do everything in our power to bring a Super Bowl championship back to Chicago."
The Colts hired Eberflus in 2018 with the idea he would be the defensive coordinator for Josh McDaniels, whom they planned to hire. McDaniels backed out of the job to remain the New England Patriots offensive coordinator, but the Colts retained Eberflus to be a part of Frank Reich's staff instead.
[ Column: An open letter to new Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus. Welcome! Now understand the colossal challenge you just accepted. ]
Eberflus elevated a defense that in 2017 ranked 30th in the NFL in points and yards allowed.
He finished third in 2018 in the NFL Assistant Coach of the Year voting after the Colts, a 10-6 playoff team, finished 10th in points allowed and 11th in yards allowed per game. They were a top-10 defense again in 2020.
And this season, Eberflus oversaw a Colts defense that led the AFC in takeaways (33) while finishing in the top 10 in points allowed (21.5 ppg). Three Colts defensive players were named to the initial Pro Bowl roster this season: defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, linebacker Darius Leonard and cornerback Kenny Moore II.
Colts GM Chris Ballard called Eberflus "an outstanding leader and a man of strong conviction" in his statement to Colts.com.
"There is a standard that must be met by the players he coaches, and he does a fantastic job targeting their strengths while putting them in the best position to succeed," Ballard said. "Upon his arrival to Indianapolis, he made immediate gains with our defense and consistently had our unit ranked toward the top of the league. We knew it was only a matter of time before he became a head coach, and he is extremely deserving of this opportunity. Chicago will love Matt's intensity, dedication, and his desire to win."
Eberflus interviewed with the Houston Texans, Los Angeles Chargers and New York Jets last year and also interviewed with the Jacksonville Jaguars this season. Reich called him a "great candidate to be a head coach" after he didn't get a new job last offseason.
"I think the world of Matt as a coach, as a person, as a defensive coordinator," Reich said. "I've just seen 'Flus' continue to grow and develop in that role as well, really connecting with players, making a conscious effort every week to put our players in the best position possible."
Moore tweeted Thursday that he was happy for "Coach Flus," noting "the lessons he brings to the game as well as the correlation to life. He'll be amazing."
Other coaches and players Eberflus worked with, including former Bears and Cowboys defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli, who is now with the Las Vegas Raiders, spoke of his leadership, communication and teaching skills. They also talked of the effort he requires from his players.
Reich told Colts.com last year that "Flus has a clear set of standards, expectations for how we're going to play defense by each position, what that looks like, what that means, what it takes to get there."
ESPN detailed two of his coaching principles in a June profile. One is the HITS principle, which stands for hustle, intensity, taking the ball away and situationally smart. The other is a loaf system, used to call out players who don't hustle, a tactic employed by former Bears coach Lovie Smith.
Before his tenure with the Colts, Eberflus spent seven years coaching linebackers for the Dallas Cowboys after a two-year stint in the same role with the Cleveland Browns. He also added defensive pass-game coordinator to his title in his final two years in Dallas.
[ The Chicago Bears have a new coach and GM. Here's how the searches unfolded and ended with Matt Eberflus and Ryan Poles. ]
He started his coaching career in 1992 at Toledo as a student assistant before rising to coach outside linebackers and defensive backs. In 2001, he joined Missouri, where his titles included defensive coordinator, defensive backs and safeties coach and associate head coach over eight seasons.
Eberflus, a native of Toledo, Ohio, was a first-team All-Mid-American Conference linebacker at Toledo in 1990 and 1991.
"There's no question he can reach every corner of the locker room," retired Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee told the Tribune earlier this week. "As a player, you want someone that is going to give you answers, is going to motivate you every single day, and that's who he is. He's going to give you the answers to get better consistently and he's going to hold standards. He's going to be relentless about how hard you're going to work. Most football players relate to that."
Eberflus now must turn his attention to filling out his coaching staff. That includes the important hire of an offensive coordinator to develop quarterback Justin Fields and revive a unit that ranked in the bottom third of the league for much of Nagy's tenure.
NFL Network floated the name of Philadelphia Eagles passing game coordinator Kevin Patullo as a name to watch.
The hire of Eberflus wraps up an eventful 18-day stretch since the Bears fired Pace and Nagy.
[ What must Matt Eberflus and Ryan Poles do first as the new leaders of the Bears? Find an offensive coordinator and energize Justin Fields. ]
The Bears hired Poles on Tuesday after an extensive search that included interviews with at least 12 other GM candidates. Poles, 36, was the Kansas City Chiefs executive director of player personnel and spent 13 years with the organization.
Poles then interviewed Caldwell on Tuesday and Eberflus and Quinn on Wednesday. Quinn and Caldwell have head-coaching experience.
Quinn reportedly informed the Cowboys and other teams he would return to his role as defensive coordinator in Dallas.

Sevyn Streeter Talks About Writing Hit Songs For Ariana Grande and Chris Brown, And Her Single "I Won't Stop"
During the past few years, pop/urban singer/songwriter Sevyn Streeter has uniquely emerged as both a hit songwriter and a rising artist. Her success as a songwriter helped her land a solo artist contract with Atlantic Records, and she has been busy recording with several, top writer/producers. Streeter has released two singles so far—"I Like It" and her new single "I Won't Stop" (featuring Chris Brown)—and on November 5 her debut EP called Call Me Crazy But will be available for preorder.
Although she's a talented artist who has been singing professionally since she was a teenager, her most notable success to date has been as a songwriter. Streeter co-wrote the recent Top 10 pop hit, "The Way," for Ariana Grande. She also co-wrote two hits for Chris Brown, "Yeah 3x" and "Next To You" (featuring Justin Bieber). Impressively, she's written 10 songs with Chris Brown, six which were released on his F.A.M.E. album (2011), and four on his Fortune album (2012). Streeter has also co-written songs for Brown's upcoming album, titled X (to be released in December).
Streeter has co-written songs for many other artists such as Alicia Keys (the single "New Day"), Kelly Rowland, Fantasia, Brandy, Estelle, Trey Songz and Tamar Braxton.
As a singer, Streeter has been a member of two vocal groups. When she was just 15, she was a member of girl group TG4, which was managed by Chris Stokes, who directed the hit movies You Got Served and House Party 4. Then in 2007, she joined the group RichGirl, which was signed to Jive Records and produced by Rich Harrison (Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez).
We're pleased to do this Q&A interview with Sevyn Streeter. She tells how she got started as a singer & songwriter, how she signed with Atlantic Records, and her new EP.
DK: You were first a member of two singing groups, TG4 and RichGirl. Did you originally see yourself as a singer more than a songwriter?
Streeter: I saw myself as an artist first. I was a typical young girl holding a hairbrush and looking in the mirror, singing Mariah Carey songs. My songwriting came much later, when I was about 22 years old.
DK: What was your first placement as a songwriter?
Streeter: My first cut as a songwriter was "Yeah 3x" for Chris Brown. I met Chris because I was in the group RichGirl, which had the same management—we're both managed by Tina Davis. We met through Tina, and then we were both recording at the same studio in Los Angeles. I asked Chris if I could write with him. He said yes, and that he would come get me (in the studio) when it was time to write. We got together, and the first song we wrote was "Yeah 3x."
DK: It must have been great, with your first song "Yeah 3x" becoming a hit.
Streeter: Working with Chris Brown has been a blessing for me. [Our writing] took on a life of it's own. We wrote 10 songs together, six for his F.A.M.E. album and four for his Fortune album. Recently, I wrote more songs with Chris for his upcoming album, X.
DK: You co-wrote the big hit "The Way" for Ariana Grande. How did you write this song?
Streeter: It happened when we had a writing session for Jordin Sparks. I was in the studio with Jordin, Harmony Samuels (who produced the song) and Sherrod (Lambert). We originally wrote the song for Jordin's album, but as it turned out, it ended up being recorded by Ariana Grande. It was later that I got a call, that Ariana had cut the song. [For me], it came out of nowhere. When I hear her version, it was so great that I lost my mind! Ariana's voice was amazing—she killed it and brought a whole other vibe to this record.
DK: For your label deal as an artist, how did you sign with Atlantic Records?
Streeter: I signed with Chris Brown's company, CBE, and Chris shopped me for a label deal. I felt great when Atlantic Records became interested. I performed a showcase for them, and Craig Kallman (Chairman/CEO of Atlantic) loved it. Also playing a big part was Darrale Jones (former Atlantic A&R exec, who is now at Def Jam).
I love Atlantic—they do an incredible job. I'm in New York this week, and I see how hard they work.
DK: Can you tell me about your new EP on Atlantic?
Streeter: Yes, it's called Call Me Crazy But. It has seven songs including the single "I Won't Stop" which features Chris Brown. For this EP, I collaborated with some great writer/producers like The Interns, D'Mile, Dem Jointz, Diplo, Cam and FreeSchool.
DK: In addition to your artist career, do you still have time to write songs for other artists?
Streeter: I do. Recently, I've been writing songs for Jennifer Lopez's next album. Also, I co-wrote the new single "All The Way Home" for Tamar Braxton, plus two songs for Chris Brown's new album.

|the peak of Mount Tronador in the morning- high on the glacier
Edu drinks a beer I buy him, as I question the employees about what it's like being high up on the glacier for two weeks at a time.
They tell me it's an adventure, and during the summer, there a lot of people going in and out, trying to conquer the peak of Tronador, something we won't be doing as it would be too dangerous with the added recent snowfall; step on a crevice hidden by white powder and fall to your death.
a look at the Refuge Mieling- outside and in
"Once a year a military helicopter brings us supplies, the rest of the time we carry food, paper, beer, and other supplies up the mountain ourselves," he pauses for moment, almost catching his breath imagining it, and then explains, "It's hard work."
They get most of their power from solar cells, but occasionally have to run a generator, as they are tonight- it's winter and the sun is lacking.
Outside the wind howls loudly. The stars are covered by clouds and we're 50 miles from civilization, there is zero outside light filtering in. It's the Andes at their best and loneliest. No cell signal, no internet, I soon retire upstairs.
I take one of a hundred mats (it's busier in the summer) and roll out my sleeping atop it. Although the downstairs is a sort of luxury version of a high-mountain base camp for the assault on Tronador's peak, the second story is no frills, a large room with a roof over it, one halogen lamp hooked up to the electrical system.
I wouldn't want to be here when it's full, tired hikers coming to and fro, rising in the middle of the night, snoring. As it is the wind the screams outside so strongly you can hear the weightless apparition changing direction. In fact, the gale is so ferocious the walls shake, keeping me awake as I wonder how much more force it might take to blow us off the cliff.
We wake in the morning, and after trail mix, instant coffee, and dried soup mix, gather our gear and set-off. The wind whips us fervently, as the condors watch our every move from high overhead. I wonder how much they're actively rooting against us, or whether they're more like casino executives, knowing the odds dictate a certain percentage of the time we'll make a mistake in our climb, and they'll be feasting.
|a view off the edge I dare not take another step towards
|up, up, and over the ridge
video: not much said here, but get a view from near the tree-line as we descend

Approach Considerations
Short-term treatment of hypoglycemia consists of an intravenous (IV) bolus of dextrose 10% 2.5 mL/kg. The critical sample should be drawn before the glucose is administered. After the bolus is administered, an IV infusion that matches normal hepatic glucose production (approximately 5-8 mg/kg/min in an infant and about 3-5 mg/kg/min in an older child) should be continued. This should be adjusted to maintain the plasma glucose level at more than 3 mmol/L. Children with hyperinsulinemia may have much higher needs. Glucagon infusion at rates of 0.005-0.02 mg/kg/h should be used as a temporary treatment in children with hyperinsulinism in whom adequate amounts of dextrose cannot be given. It can cause a rash and decreased appetite if used over the long term.
Long-term care of children with hypoglycemia varies based on the etiology.
In infants with one of several disorders (eg, ketotic hypoglycemia, glycogen-storage disorder, free fatty acid metabolism defect, mild hyperinsulinism), hypoglycemia can be prevented with frequent feedings involving a specifically designed diet and a rapid response with parenteral dextrose when feeding is inadequate because of GI problems or other illnesses. Fructose must be avoided in children with fructose diphosphatase deficiency.
A hierarchical approach is used to treat hyperinsulinism. The first step is usually frequent feeding. The next step is typically the administration of diazoxide. Octreotide is usually the second-line medical therapy. The calcium channel blocker nifedipine is also useful. Surgery is recommended if these treatments fail or if an insulin-producing tumor is suspected. Surgery is a first-line option in infants with persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy with documented focal lesions that can be removed without complete pancreatectomy. (See Pancreatic Surgery.)
Growth hormone and cortisol replacement are specific treatments for children with hypoglycemia and hypopituitarism or adrenal insufficiency.
Infants who are born prematurely and those who are small for their gestational age should be given IV or oral feedings shortly after birth to prevent hypoglycemia.
A study by LeBlanc et al reported that after implementation of a quality-improvement initiative for neonates with at least one risk factor for hypoglycemia, which included the promotion of early skin-to-skin care, early breastfeeding, and, at 90 minutes, measurement of blood glucose in asymptomatic infants, the transfer rate for at-risk infants to the neonatal intensive care unit fell from 17% to 3%. Infants in the study were born at or after 35 weeks' gestation. [19]
Evaluation and treatment of a child with hypoglycemia requires a team approach. Typical consultations include a pediatric endocrinologist for initial evaluation and treatment, depending on the results of the evaluation. Consultation with a geneticist familiar with various metabolic disorders is helpful. A nutritionist is necessary to provide input and instruction regarding treatment for various metabolic disorders and to ensure proper caloric intake in children with inadequate stores.
Hypoglycemia in Patients With Diabetes
For hypoglycemia in patients with diabetes, treatment depends on the patient's mental status. If the patient is awake and alert, 15 g of simple carbohydrate (4 oz of most fruit juices, 3 tsp of sugar, glucose tablets) by mouth should be sufficient. Wait at least 15 minutes after the initial treatment before retesting, because overtreatment of low blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes is a common cause of hyperglycemia. If more than an hour will pass before the next regularly scheduled meal, an additional 15 g of complex carbohydrate with additional protein (bread, crackers, peanut butter) may be warranted.
If the patient's mental status is altered and aspiration is a concern, treatment depends on the patient's setting. At home, intramuscularly administered glucagon is the best choice and should be available to families or close associates of all insulin-treated patients with diabetes. In the hospital setting, IV dextrose 25% is appropriate treatment. Dextrose is not associated with the nausea and vomiting that may follow glucagon administration. Glucagon should be used if venous access is a problem. After the low-sugar–level reaction is treated, the patient's insulin, diet, and activity patterns should be examined to determine the cause. Adjustments should be made to prevent hypoglycemia from recurring.

Surgery for hyperinsulinism is usually performed when medical therapy fails or when the patient is an older child with a possible insulin-producing tumor. If focal disease has been identified in an area of the pancreas that is amenable to removal without damage to the rest of the organ, surgery can be performed.
In diffuse disease, the usual initial operation in infants with persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy is to remove 95% of the pancreas. If this is unsuccessful, drug therapy may be added or a complete pancreatectomy may be performed. In the child with an insulin-producing tumor, only the tumor is removed. The surgeon locates the tumors intraoperatively using palpation or intraoperative ultrasonography.
As mentioned above, the dietary treatment for acute hypoglycemia is the rapid administration of at least 15 g of simple carbohydrates (4 oz of juice or most other beverages with sugar).
Dietary prevention of hypoglycemia depends on the underlying condition. In patients with a metabolic disease, avoidance of specific substances is usually necessary and is dependent on the specific condition. In patients with ketotic hypoglycemia, glycogen-storage disease, or another disorder that is not amenable to specific dietary, medical, or surgical interventions, the key is to avoid prolonged fasting and to provide a ready supply of long-acting complex carbohydrates on a regular basis.

Pepe Monserrate (Madrid, 1973) shows us that no road is too long, no mountain is too high, no dream is impossible. Ten years ago, he had never set foot in a studio; today, his large-format sculptures are the envy of art collectors. He had a successful career in business, marketing, and publicity. Now he sculpts in bronze, iron, or firing clay, toys with video art, and exhibits and sells his art successfully in numerous countries.

Agree with you completely! He is a celebrity so people are ready to forgive him. Is it a conspiracy... I am thinking out aloud...If he files a petition, he will get some more time and during this time he can finish his pending films...ReplyDelete
This is a good insight. Yes, Sanjay Dutt is a big controversy, weather it is because he is a celebrity or no, not sure.ReplyDelete
I found him funny when he issued a statement that he has already suffered for 20 years! But yes, system has loopholes and people try everything to sneak through them. Why a preferential treatment? Treat him like any other. What if he were an unknown man?ReplyDelete
Someone once sais--Law is an ass.Weel,at the moment,it seems most of us Asses.ReplyDelete
I have known the Dutt family personally,especially the Sr Dutt.
It is no time to air personal opinions on a Judgment which has been passed by the highest court in the country.What amazes me is the arguments given byJustice Katju.Hehas been a part of Judicial system for ages and he should know better.All those who are speaking upfor Sanjay should know,besides him,there are so many more who have been awarded harsher punishments.Has anyone spoken for them,for those languishing in jails for years only on suspicious grounds???
Like Chowla said, Justice Katju's statement is the most absurd.ReplyDelete
I don't think there should be any lineancy towards him because he is a film star and did positive roles. If that was the case Pran, and Ajit and the lot should have been doomed.
Not only he is rich and famous, his family is a big supporter of CONgress party. 4 weeks time to surrender after conviction so that he can finish up his pending work. Sending accused murderers to their country for spending holidays and to vote in their election. These can happen only in India.ReplyDelete
Katju is a lunatic.
All this noise just because he is a celebrity. If he were an unknown person, we wouldn't even hear anything about this trial. With so many sides to the story, it's really hard to know the truth.ReplyDelete
Keep writing, Neha. :)

91. It was me all along
Personally I agree with the murder of many of these things. I've never understood the fascination with golf or college football. I don't understand how they are still a thing, and a huge thing at that! Unless they change the rules to allow robots or mutants, I don't see myself getting into them.
Napkins are just useless in a world that contains paper towels. Debate me on this. I sincerely don't understand why we must have both, so I'm OK with their demise.
Diamonds are forever stupid. When did we decide that they were symbols of love and wealth? They have felt unnecessary and gaudy to me all my life. What an unnecessary reason to pillage the earth and the workers who unearth them.
Chain restaurants and malls had their time in the sun. It's time to let more creative joints take their place. If we are all going to die because of our hedonism anyway, I'd like it to be with a diverse litany of tastes, sights and smells.
The background is an auditorium near my house, in which I teach classes at night sometimes. It's beautiful.

Although WasteFree routinely deep cleans the dirtiest of commercial trash enclosures, most often, simple routine maintenance is what is needed. Oil spots on the driveway, the façade of your building or even an entire parking lot is no match for our commercial-grade, trailer mounted power-washing rigs. All our machines are equipped with biodegradable cleaning solutions, the best nozzles, hundreds of feet of hose, hot water, and even telescoping wands for those hard to reach areas.
Water Recovery: it's the Law
All power washing jobs, particularly the large commercial power washing services, require waste water recovery. WasteFreeTM first abides by the laws that ensure water sources remain pollutant free and we stay current with local municipality regulations. Our power washing service results are impeccable and our service second to none. WasteFreeTM's number one priority is keeping you, your guests and their loved ones safe and healthy while on your property when providing this important service.

Additional prizes include gift certificates to the Friends of Sedona Library used book store; we will publish first-place winning submissions on our website, sedonalibrary.org; and, finally, we will put a copy of the first-place winning entries into our 60th anniversary time capsule. The time capsule will be buried this fall and be opened in 2058 when the Library celebrates 100 years of service!
For further details and our entry form, please visit sedonalibrary.org, our Facebook page, or stop by either one of our convenient locations: 3250 White Bear Rd. in West Sedona, or Bell Rock Plaza in the Village of Oak Creek. This contest is free and open to the public.

TRANSP Seminar: Dr. Clio Andris, Assistant Professor Enhancing Spatial Interaction Research with Social Flows and Creative Data Sets
Social networks and social flow data are geospatial structures that evidence not only interpersonal relationships (kinship, professional ties, friends, institution members, romantic partners etc.), but also the potentiality of travel, migration, monetary exchange and information transfer. In this seminar, Dr. Andris will describe how these networks and flows can be for creative new perspectives on existing travel and transportation practices and methodologies. First, data that evidence interpersonal relationships can be used to guide transportation demand by producing a greater variety of OD matrices. Secondly, fine grained GPS traces can be used to measure community isolation and neighborhood cohesion to guide infrastructure planning and resource allocation. Thirdly, these new datasets can add a new dimension to the interpersonal benefits of point of interests (POI) and neighborhood amenities. Lastly, better online and institutional records can help us better understand migrant and travel flows facilitated by institutions such as the military and universities. However, harnessing these networks and embedding them has presented a challenge to researchers who lack crucial definitions of how social flows, social capital, and social networks may be measured for these purposes. Dr. Andris will outline initiatives and potential best practices to improve how we can plan for new movement demand, create rules of thumb for movement between cities, better distinguish POIs and build new infrastructure that not only follows existing relationships but avoids splitting existing communities.
Dr. Clio Andris is an assistant professor of geography at Penn State working at the intersection of social networks and geographic information science (GIS). She specializes in social flow theory and is interested in how interpersonal relationships can be integrated into geographic models. She is the director of the Friendly Cities Lab, an initiative that uses creative data sets to better understand human behavior in cities and plan for cities that support healthy relationships. Her research has included case studies using mobile phone data, taxi usage, U.S. inter-urban migration, mentorships, retail outlets, university admissions and athletics, and interior design. She completed her PhD at MIT in Urban Information Systems and was a postdoc at the Santa Fe Institute and the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology.
Pizza will be provided!

This is an App to learn chemical elements and their period/group at the periodic table. It is possible to learn them by playing the puzzle game.
It has three modes.
1 simple periodic table(not puzzle)
2 puzzle by a period and group
3 puzzle by a name or symbol
At mode 1, in tapping the symbol, its details are shown in a new form that has a link to Wikipedia4).
At puzzle modes, some ranges of elements are hidden and indicated in white panels. You can select the ranges of hidden elements from 1 period to 7 periods before starting a puzzle, but it is not available to select only the 1st period because of only 2 elements there.
If you don't know an answer at a puzzle, you can skip it. Tap the questioned symbol at the mode 2, or "Skip" button at the mode 3.
Though periodic table has void area like as group 2-17 at 1st period, etc., white panels appear there, too. Such area is neglected when the other area(elements exist) are fixed correctly. You can answer "No element here" there(not by area but each group) at mode 3. It will help to understand not only the names, symbols and order of elements but the belonging groups.
It supports following languages, but some comments are partially translated except for English and Japanese version.

A couple weeks ago on ESPN's news magazine program E:60, reporter Jeremy Schaap filed an incredible piece of journalism. The veteran reporter traveled to Qatar to investigate the mistreatment and deaths of migrant workers who are building Qatar's stadiums for the 2022 World Cup. Of course, that's if they get to host it after the latest round of allegations concerning the bribery scandal that has been a cloud over the tournament that won't kick off for another eight years.
Thankfully, ESPN has finally made the entire segment available online so if you missed it on television, you can watch Schaap's excellent story.
Forget the millions of dollars changing hands under the table for the moment because this is about much more than who hosts the World Cup. This is a human rights scandal that is taking place in Qatar. That's what Schapp and others are working hard to bring to light. Although it's just one segment on one sports show, the images and the stories of those that were featured should haunt everyone involved with the 2022 World Cup. As more eyes are turned towards Qatar and their World Cup bid, hopefully these human rights stories will be given their rightful due as this goes way beyond a soccer tournament.

Here are my top 5 website marketing tips for SMEs:
- Go Local
- Use Schema
- Content is King
- Get social
- Repurpose content
Go Local
In a digital world it's all too easy to aim for national or even international acclaim but driving organic traffic from 'local' searches is much easier when it makes sense for your brand. Take us as an example – we're a digital design agency who specialise in website design and app development. We can (and do) service customers from all over the globe. There are of course thousands of 'web design agencies' out there and we do not have the resource or budget to compete on a global scale. We do however have the ability to compete against the hundreds of web design agencies who are relevant for local searches like 'web design agency in Hampshire.' We'd much rather have a big chunk of local traffic from local searches vs appearing on page 10 for global searches like 'web design agency' and getting no traffic.
How to rank for local searches: Google My Business
Directly under paid advertisers, Google shows a Map with information from a few 'local' businesses. It's the second most prominent section on the page (and FREE) so it's worth making sure you do everything you can to optimise your My Business listing. Here's a few things you need to do to rank well in Google My Business/Maps.
Get your business listed
Visit https://www.google.com/business/ and signup to verify your business. Google will send you a postcard with a code and once entered, you have an opportunity to rank on Google Maps for local searches. Easy! Be sure to write an accurate description of your business and its services, ensure you've selected the right business category your company belongs to, and take your time. It's worth thinking about what you say so Google and more importantly PEOPLE, get what you do.
Be consistent with your NAP
When completing your Google My Business listing, make sure your business name, address and phone number (NAP) matches what you advertise on your website and anywhere else you have a listing across the web including all your social profiles and local business directories. Google is smart enough to understand and measure your digital footprint.
Get Reviews
There is no better way to build trust and authority with your audience than reviews. It's also a signal to Google you are active and relevant for your appropriate search terms. Your customers can easily leave reviews on Google itself and they'll probably carry more weight than lesser known review sites.
Be active
You've probably heard 'content is king' a million times so I won't go there, but make sure you upload photos regularly and take advantage of Google posts, where you can promote an event, offer of latest piece of content right on your Google profile.
Use Schema
This one might be outside of your control, so if in doubt ask your web design or development agency. Schema is code that sits in the background of your site to help Google and other search engines return more informative results.
There are different types of Schema including JSON-LD, Microdata and RFda. All are designed to make it easier for search engines to pick up important bits of data and ultimately display that data in their results. At Bigger Picture we're fans of JSON-LD as it makes it easier for our clients to add via a CMS in the style of meta data. Oh, it's also the recommended Schema type of Google!
Common types of Schema
There is Schema for all types of content but the most regular types we find ourselves implementing are for:
- Business Address
- Business Phone Number
- Business Opening Hours
- An Event
- A Product
- A News Article
- A blog Article
- A person
Check out http://schema.org/ to find the Schema for your business
Validating your Schema
Head over to Google Search Console (Webmaster tools). Under Search Appearance you'll find structured data. Google shows you exactly what pages have what Schema and points out any errors. There's also a Google Schema validation tool you can find at https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/
Use Google's Data Highlighter
If you don't have the right CMS or dev skills to add JSON-LD, Google has a handy tool that let's you highlight structured data. View the intro and visit 'Data Highlighter' in your Search Console.
Content is King
I've been project managing website design projects for 12 years and if there was one common thing, it would be the struggle of content production. I am a firm believer that content should be produced in-house. It's rare to find a copywriter that has the industry knowledge and brand insight to write effectively for YOU, so find the time to write. Like most good design agencies, we go through a strategy phase before getting creative. Part of this strategy is to map out website pages (sitemap) and content messaging based on keyword research and a depth of understanding of what makes you, you. We work with our clients to take content supplied and ensure its search engine friendly.
Consider your content structure
Writing paragraph after paragraph without headlines, bullets and other content (think photos, videos, illustrations) doesn't just put people off reading it, but does no favors from an SEO point of view either. Whether it's a standard service page, a blog article or contact, utilise basic heading tag markup like H1s, H2s etc. Use bullet points when appropriate and keep sentences simple. Complex grammar and technical jargon isn't going to impress anybody.
Forget Keywords. Focus on People.
Forget old school keyword stuffing and repeating the same phrase repeatedly. Write for your audience, they're your potential customer after all. It's true that you need to mention searchable phrases however don't let it worry you too much. Keyword variations, synonyms and generally keeping to the same topic gives Google enough of an idea what you should be 'found' for. It's more important to have friendly, quality and popular content over that of content that has a beautiful ratio of copy to code but is never interacted with or shared.
Blogging can be fun
An on-going content strategy is key to marketing success and a blog is perhaps one of the easiest and most popular channels in any marketer's pocket. Yes, it's hard to commit to writing frequently and day to day responsibilities can get in the way but if you don't get your knowledge, experience and opinions across, who is going to know you are an expert? Writing a blog is an opportunity to break from your normal brand tone. It's written by an individual and individuals are allowed an opinion. Don't be afraid to write something not everyone will agree with. Share your experiences on how you tackled a recent project, what you think of the latest bit of software, or give away some of your secrets to success. I hear from a lot of companies that they are afraid of sharing too much in case a competitor copies, but I say let them. Be the first, be the boldest, and your customers will see.
More pages = more opportunity
The more web pages and content your site has, the more likely you are to cover all possible bases for being found. Blogs provide an opportunity for being found for longer search phrases, and having dedicated service pages for example, rather than listing out everything in a single location, provides more optimisation. Don't take short cuts at the cost of your marketing.
Get Social
Digital marketing does not start and end with your website, your audience and potential customers are everywhere so you should be too. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram are just some platforms that will help grow your digital footprint and put your brand in front of your audience.
Share, Share and Share
When you write a new piece of content or want to promote an existing, create a post and share. The more it is liked, shared by others etc. the more links and popularity you build. Google will pick that up and you will see your content achieving better organic positions in result pages.
Be fun
Not every social post has to be self promotion. Show your audience what you are up to, share images of the people inside your brand, share things that people will find interesting, and use it to show the kind of brand you are. Please note though, I will unfollow you if you share fluffy kittens or use a thousand hashtags, it's just not needed!
Boosting and advertising is important in today's social media world.
Repurpose Content
Why write a piece of content once and let it sit there when you could make use of it time and time again.
Gated Content
If you write a great piece of content you might decide to gate it i.e. ask your audience to share their email in order to access it. This can be great for lead generation and we see many brands having great success with this strategy. Datasheets, Whitepapers or access to some research piece are often gated pieces of content. I find most companies miss a trick with this technique though. Search engines will not be able to find and read your gated content, so you are making it harder to find for the real people that are interested in it. I always suggest that content is dissected into bite sized chunks, normally blog articles, that are indexable in search engines. It means one whitepaper could lead to a series of blog articles, generating several more pages on your website. Recycling what has already been written gives yet another opportunity to create more indexable pages, all of which can contain a call to action to download the larger, gated piece of content. Entice and excite your audience with one section and they are more likely to part with their contact info.
Pull out stats
Go through your blogs, case studies and any other research you've done. Create infographic(s) and write a summary for a new article. Get social promoting parts of the graphic with your audience across your channels. It's a great way of creating frequent, easy posts to drive traffic to your site and increase your popularity.
Turn videos into pages
If you've shot an explainer video, case study, or company intro, don't just embed it once and forget about it. Take things said and create articles that expand, explain or simply say what's in the video. You've guessed it, it's another opportunity to create pages you can market and in my experience, one of the quickest wins.
Don't be scared to email
Ok, so the rules of emails are changing (or have changed depending on when you read this) with the whole GDPR thing. If your customers or potential customers have given you consent, use it. Email your latest article, guide or case study and don't just wait for it to be found.
Use more than one platform
For a bigger and better digital footprint, don't just use Youtube, upload to Vimeo too. Put your PowerPoints onto Slideshare and upload photos to Instagram as well as Facebook. The more you spread the word, the more your brand will be found with next to no additional effort.
And that's it
There are loads of other things you can be doing to actively promote your brand through different digital strategies but starting with these points will certainly make a difference. If you have any questions or comments give us a shout and we'd be happy to chat.

TEC.BEAN Trail Camera Review
TEC.BEAN Trail Camera: QUICK OVERVIEW
User Friendly
What We Like
What We Don't Like
Once you begin looking for the perfect trail camera, you're going to realize there are plenty of features that you should consider ranging from infrared night capturing to waterproof housing.
The TEC.BEAN Trail Camera incorporates all of the basic features of a trail camera, but it also excels where other brands don't in terms of quality. With a low profile, sleek, and camouflaged design, it can easily become your most cherished piece of hunting equipment.
TEC.BEAN Trail Camera Review
The main purpose of the TEC.BEAN Trail Camera is to give you the ability to keep eyes on every inch of your property, regardless of if you're trying to capture animal or human activity. As one of the most important parts of hunting, getting eyes on the movement of your target can help you effectively plan your strategies.
One other TEC.BEAN camera on the market offers similar characteristics, but it's easy to see how this model is superior. With the incorporation of 940 non-glow infrared lights versus 840 lights in the lesser model, capturing images at night is far easier.
The non-glow infrared lights are essential for creating an undetectable flash that enables the camera to capture clearer images in low light situations. Aside from this crucial difference, both cameras offer the same features.
Who is this Product for?
One of the most beneficial characteristics of trail cameras as a whole is that they are relatively easy to use, even for people who have never had their hands on surveillance equipment before. As an important characteristic, the TEC.BEAN Trail Camera is adaptable to both professional and personal purposes.
Once you mount the TEC.BEAN Trail Camera, you'll have the ability to keep track of movement around your property regardless of it's it is animal or human movement. This can be imperative for home and business owners who have been experiencing any criminal activity or the average hunter that is tracking specific targets.
Another phenomenal advantage that this particular camera has is its perfect camouflage, which makes it easy to blend in with its environment. In comparison to other cameras that can be easy to spot, this particular model comes with a woodland camoflage that easily blends into trees and dry brush.
What's Included?
When it comes time to take the TEC.BEAN Trail Camera out of the box and getting ready for installation, you'll love that it comes with most of the accessories you'd need for the majority of mounting options. With that being said, there are a few essential accessories that we wish were included. Inside of the kit, you'll receive:
USB Cable
This cable can be useful for transferring data directly from the camera to a computer, allowing you to review the images and video with ease.
A/V Cable
If you've captured any particularly interesting activity on your property or your hunting trail, why not use the A/V cable to hook the camera up to a TV? You and your family or friends can look at the stunning ecological movement on a larger screen.
Mounting Belt
As an accessory that is necessary for semi-permanent installation, the mounting belt allows you to affix the camera to the majority of places such as trees.
1-Year Warranty
There are three specific features that we wish were included with the TEC.BEAN Trail Camera, mounting screws, a wall mount, and a tripod mount.
With the help of mounting screws and a wall mount, you have the opportunity to permanently affix the camera to any surface, which is essential for people who cannot attach the camera to a tree. As for a tripod mount, it can be a beneficial accessory that allows you to take advantage of the portability of your camera.
Overview of Features
There are plenty of features integrated into the TEC.BEAN Trail Camera, including:
1080p HD Video and Audio
With the ability to capture up to 12 MP of images and 1080p HD video, you won't feel like you're missing out on high-quality media while using this particular trail camera. You'll easily be able to take up to nine pictures in a single shutter, plus the picture and video capturing triggers in less than one second.
Long Distance Night Vision Capturing
It's quite possible the majority of animal activity on your property occurs at night, which is why you'll love the long distance night vision where you can capture movement at up to 75 feet in complete darkness. This is all thanks to the 940 low-light infrared LED lights.
Variety of Capture Modes
Capture modes are important as they give you the ability to customize how you use your trail camera. The TEC.BEAN Trail Camera offers motion detection, hybrid capturing mode, as well as independent video and picture capturing.
Waterproof Protection
Although the TEC.BEAN Trail Camera surely isn't the most expensive trail camera on the market, it is still important for you to protect your investment. The IP66 waterproof casing with password protected entry helps to prevent damage from tampering and weather.
As the TEC.BEAN Trail Camera is competitively priced, it's simple to compare it to other models on the market such as the Rexing Woodlens H1 Trail Camera. For a few extra dollars, there are a couple of important features you'll receive from the Rexing model versus the TEC.BEAN model such as better image quality and a faster trigger speed.
With the Rexing Woodlens H1 Trail Camera, users will have access to 16 MP photos in comparison to 12 MP with the TEC.BEAN brand. In addition, the Rexing model boasts an impeccable 2-millisecond trigger speed, versus the TEC.BEAN, which has a trigger speed of 8 milliseconds.
Depending on what you're looking for in a trail camera, you may be willing to forego these features in order to choose the least expensive model.
With an assortment of impressive features, it's difficult to find faults of the TEC.BEAN Trail Camera, as it is an inclusive camera that gives you the vast majority of features you'd get from a higher end brand.
With the ability to capture high-quality photos, videos, and audio, there's not much more you could ask for in a trail camera for either hunting or personal use.

Without any further delay, here are the 10 Best-designed Linux Distribution Websites:
#1. Ubuntu Studio
#2. openSUSE
#3. Mandriva
#4. Dreamlinux
#5. gOS
#6. Foresight Linux
#7. Linux Mint
#8. Arch
#10. Sabayon
The ubuntustudio website is too dark. It's not very well designed.
However, the rest of the websites are really nice :)
Remember, It's "too dark" for you. You might not be their target audience and that's what design is about. What you want to communicate and who you are talking to.ReplyDelete
Nice post. Not a slightly different note, I also like the slackware website, simple, and gets the point across.
Arch is cool too with the forum, wiki, AUR all very nicely integrated.
Well, I find it strange that Ubuntu isn't shown, but understand why. I've run Linux Mint for a good long time and happy to have it shown here.
Strange thing about Sabayon is that I could never download it. Trust me I tried, but at least I'm hitting all those neat Linux Distros. BTW, I'm running openSuSE11.0 right now.
JJMacey Dot Net
I think the the Arch and Slax websites are particularly well designed.ReplyDelete
i like dark themes because my eyes don't get strained by them. But alas, everyone has their own tastes, naturally.ReplyDelete
"Well, I find it strange that Ubuntu isn't shown, but understand why."
Well.. Why? Its the most widely used distro out there. Well designed site as well. Why isnt it on the list?
These are some of the most generic "Web 2.0" websites I've ever seen. There's nothign unique or original about any of these designs in terms of functionality or looks that would put them on a top list of anything in my eyes.
Arch and Foresight are probably the only ones that are good from that lot.
I'm not sure that all of the web sites deserve to listed for good design. It feels a little bit like you found a few good ones, but then just added some more that you found to make the list long enough.
I'd love nothing more than to redesign some of the sites on this list to make them more attractive and usable.
In the interest of full disclosure, I was art coordinator for Sabayon once upon a time, but that was a pretty brief stint.
oh my word this is retardedReplyDelete
Slackware's site is best designed. It doesnt have all sorts of unnecessary crap on it.
Plus, its not a piece of shit distro like the others listed.
Slacware is ridiculous. You have to never get laid to use Slackware. Jackass.
There is nothing wrong with most of these distros.
I think I'd take arch off and put Ubuntu there..
I'm starting to think that its best when sites just stick to a certain width.
Dude, I agree, certain widths are a good thing. If it works, dont fix it.
the UbuntuStudio site is very beautifully done, but is highly lacking in substance. There's just a few pages and any attempt to gather more info from the site just leads you to the Ubuntu forums.
This site should not be on the list. Though it is pretty, it just doesn't have enough there to qualify IMHO.
I think openSUSE takes the cake here. Simple is always better!ReplyDelete
ARCH ftw!ReplyDelete
I think its rather ironic when looking at the source it looks like the DreamLinux site is developed with DreamWeaver..ReplyDelete
Linux rocks!ReplyDelete
Kudos to Ubuntu Studio for, unlike the official Ubuntu sites, actually using Free Software to create the site.ReplyDelete
ArtistX has a nice site too...
What about debian?
I'm glad to see that Sabayon made it to the list. Always thought their website was polished.ReplyDelete
only Arch website fits widescreen. I don't like narrow sites at all.ReplyDelete
I think the Dreamlinux site is very slick. Maybe you can do a top ten of the forums as well?
Just because I am a Dreamlinux user and the Dreamlinux forums are very well designed.
Arch is the best website, and by far the best linux distro ever!ReplyDelete

Here's a list of 4 speed typing addons for Firefox which you can use to improve typing speed through learning and practice. Typing fast means that you'll be more productive and efficient in everyday tasks that require typing, which is 90% of the tasks if you work in an office somewhere.
Let's see what kind of addons are available for Firefox browser to make you an even more valuable employee.
Addictive Typing Lessons
Addictive Typing Lessons is a speed typing addon for Firefox where you have varying degrees of lesson difficulty thrown at you.
What you see on the image above is a slightly more advanced lesson where we already have text that needs to type as fast as possible without doing mistakes. The very first lesson requires you to type letters F and J repeatedly while alternating between them. Then as the lessons are progressing you need to type additional letters until eventually you get to whole words.
Numpad Typing Drills
Previously mentioned Addictive Typing Lessons is a great addon if you need to learn how to type words, but what if you need to focus on the Numpad and only improve number typing?
That's where Numpad Typing Drills comes in handy. You're seeing it right. There's actually a typing tutor addon for Firefox that focuses on helping you master the Numpad specifically. You start off just by typing numbers, but later on as you get better you can throw in the rest of the Numpad keys, the basic arithmetic symbols, +, -, / and *.
Get Numpad Typing Drills.
Typing Stats
Typing Stats technically speaking isn't a speed typing addon that's made specifically to help you learn and get better in speed typing but it can be used like that.
Typing Stats analyzes everything that you type inside Firefox and then gives you detailed statistics on how good of a typist you are. The part that's especially interesting for us is the Mistakes tab. Mistakes tab gives you an overview over which letters you keep missing the most when typing. This can help you figure out which letters you need to practice using the previously mentioned speed typing tutors.
Get Typing Stats.
Typing Speed
We'll finish our list with a typing speed addon that's gonna help you out when you finally become an experienced typist.
It's gonna measure your typing speed as you type words on websites. You just need to install the addon and it's gonna do the rest on it's own. To check your stats open up the addon report in a new tab. Addon report can be accessed by clicking on the addon icon from the addon toolbar down below.
Get Typing Speed.
Addictive Typing Lessons and Numpad Typing Skills are great for learning speed typing and you should check them out if it takes a lot of time to type. We've all been, at some point in our lives, in that situation where we're looking at the keyboard where the letter that we need is. With these addons you'll hopefully look back on those days and laugh at yourself thinking how unexperienced you were.
