Read Disclosure
Internet TV or Online TV (Internet TV) is a television broadcasting service distributed via the Internet. IPTV is often confused with the issue of Internet TV.
Although both rely on similar technologies base their proposals for delivering IP based video differs as follows:
IPTV is based on networks often acquired and controlled by telecom operators, and as such only reach the subscriber base with access to the network operator.
Internet TV is available anywhere where broadband access is available.
2- Different Platforms
As its name suggests, Internet TV encourages the public Internet to deliver video content to their end users.
IPTV uses secure and dedicated networks to deliver video content to consumers. These private networks are managed, dimensioned and operated by the service provider.
3- Quality of Service
Services that run over the Internet and Internet TV are based on the best services, implying that it is not possible to provide quality assurance of what is being delivered, ie TV service.
This happens because the packets moving through the Internet can be lost or corrupted making impossible disarmament and interpretation.
IPTV service, on the other hand, is delivered through a networking infrastructure, which is usually owned by the service provider.
Owning the networking infrastructure allows telecom operators to manipulate their systems to support the full delivery of high quality video.
4- Service Access
a digital decoder is generally used to access and decode video content issued by the IPTV system, while a PC is what almost always used to access the Internet TV services.
Since the Internet is more open than a private network, dedicated home computer may also require certification of digital rights management to ensure compliance with the laws of the reproduction right.
In the case of IPTV services, the laws of the reproduction right are treated during contract negotiations between the operator and media company providing material (movies, TV shows, etc.)
5- Rates for Users
A significant percentage of video content delivered over the public Internet is available free to consumers.
IPTV services are provided in exchange for a fee that can be a monthly subscription which could also include other package deals.
6- Media Content
In the past a good portion of the video content on TV were generated by Internet users. Today, content generated by users is grouped under the term Web TV, while Internet TV is similar to the classic transmission service but through the Internet.
On the other hand, IPTV has always distributed traditional TV programs and movies supplied mainly by the established mass media.

There are many Disney snacks that are loved by some yet disliked by others in the parks, and blue milk in Galaxy's Edge is one of the more popular ones! But now people are discovering a new treat in the Star Wars land... Blue Milk Chia Pudding!
Docking Bay 7 in Disneyland has combined Blue Milk with Coconut Milk, a Chia Seed Blend, fresh Berries, Pepitas, and Shredded Coconut to make up this treat.
I love finding healthy options at Disneyland. I'll definitely be trying this one!

KC's Last Trip of the Season to Totnes
Kingswear Castle made her last trip of the 2018 season between Dartmouth and Totnes on 18th September.
Jeremy Gold's contribution to Kingswear Castle has been vast over 38 years in so many ways, many of which have been largely unseen but nonetheless crucially important. His quiet intelligence, unflappable nature and sage advice have made a real difference to KC and he is one of that small band of people I always knew that I could rely upon to think and do the right thing in all my years running the business. Thank you Jeremy.

The scatterplot above is an approach I use to introduce systems of equations. Here is the process I use. (Note: I have found that students like math associated with buying a car – relevant, real life application for them.)
- In my class, students would have seen a scatterplot with mileage and price for a single car. I explain that we will now compare two cars.
- To review, in a do now or initiation at the start of class I would have one group generate a scatterplot for the Toyota Camry data and the other groups, Mustang (Excel sheet for all of this note: this data is old). Then they would share with each other
- We would revisit the relationship shown and revisit the idea of depreciation.
- I show a Camry and Mustang and ask two questions: Which car do you think costs more brand new? Which do you think depreciates faster and why?
- Then I show them the scatterplot above and ask which car has higher dots at the far left? Explain what this means (Mustangs start off with a higher price). Then I ask about the dots at the far right.
- The students are then asked to estimate when the cars have approximately the same value.
- Then I present scatterplot below, with lines of best fit (trend lines) and they are asked the same question. We estimate the specific mileage and price and write as an ordered pair.
- Finally, I explain that this is known as a system of equations and the ordered pair is the THE solution. The entire unit will focus on finding an ordered pair as a solution.

Divine Mercy Sunday [C]
Acts 5:12-16 + Revelation 1:9-11,12-13,17-19 + John 20:19-31
April 28, 2019
"I hold the keys to death and the netherworld."
On this Sunday's solemnity of Divine Mercy, the Church calls us to rejoice that the Sacrament of Confession, and the peace flowing from it, are the "first fruits" of Jesus' Resurrection. In the Old Testament, the People of God—Israel—gave to Him the first fruits of their harvests, as precious and life-giving as they were. But in the New Testament, God turns this around. It's God who gives to His People—the Church—the first fruits of the Resurrection from the dead of His most precious Son.
Many of our separated brethren claim that there's no need to confess one's sins to a priest. Against such a claim stand the words of St. John the Evangelist, who tells us that just a few hours after Jesus' Resurrection, He showed Himself to His apostles, "breathed on them, and said to them: 'Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained'" [John 20:19,22-23]. Consider from three perspectives the blessings that flow from this gift of the Holy Spirit.
First, Confession reflects the nature of the sinner. God requires us to confess our sins to a fellow sinner to receive the benefits of the sacrament. God knows that if He made the default for forgiving sins the direct confession of one's sins to God, then the average sinner would grow spiritually weaker over time.
For example, if you start a confession of your sins directly to God and have trouble remembering them, it's easy to say to yourself, "Well, God knows everything anyway. I don't have to confess all my sins." That can begin a habit by which the sinner demands less and less from himself.
From the opposite perspective, the priest is not likely to know our sins. This means that the burden is on each Christian to present herself more honestly to God. But here's one of the beautiful truths about Confession. The more honest we are about our sinfulness, the more we appreciate the beauty and abundance of God's mercy.
Second, Confession reflects the nature of the Church. The priest in Confession represents not only God, but also the other members of the Body of Christ. One of the many problems with the idea of just confessing one's sins directly to God is that our sins are offenses not only against God.
When Jesus taught His disciples about God's commandments, He explained that they boil down to two: to love God, and to love one's neighbor. This two-fold command is even symbolized by the Cross on which Jesus died for us. The Cross has a vertical beam symbolizing the love meant to flow between me and God. Added to that is a horizontal beam, symbolizing the love meant to flow between me and my neighbors. As Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, the priest in Confession represents both God and man: my God and my neighbors.
Third, Confession reflects the nature of God Himself. On the evening of His Resurrection, Jesus breathed on the apostles and said to them: "Receive the Holy Spirit." In Confession the penitent receives this same Holy Spirit, and if we know one thing about the Holy Spirit, it's that He is never satisfied to give life when He can give life abundantly.
In Confession God not only forgives your sins, but gives many other gifts as well. The Catechism lists all of them, but perhaps most important among them is "an increase of spiritual strength for the Christian battle" [CCC 1496]. This gift is why we ought to make a sacramental confession regularly even if we don't have any mortal sins to confess, but only venial sins.
After all, what is one of hardest parts of "the Christian battle" if not forgiving those who have hurt you? Every disciple faces situations where it's so difficult to forgive that it would be impossible through human efforts alone. But as Christians, we are never alone. The graces received in Confession strengthen us to offer more easily human forgiveness to those who have wronged us.
Some people think of Confession as concerning only the washing away of the sins of one's past. But Confession is not only about the past: it's also about the future. Confession is about God equipping us through His grace for the days ahead. Confession prepares us so that when we leave the confessional we might serve Him as instruments of mercy. We do so by loving our neighbors as God loves them. This means loving them even when it requires us to love as Jesus loved on the Cross.

The bright and fluid
wind today—
it booms
and it—bids me
as it
ever has:
Live like me!
Be free! Be free!
To get filled-
up and get
stuck—or worse!
to be
led!—those heavy
conveyances are
surely paths
to stillness—to death!
But by now—I've learned
not to be moved
by such hollow
of the air; long have I stood
in the same place—
on exactly
the same
the tough
straight up-
and down
immovable truth—to live
to always
continue to live—is exactly
to obey
the secret
thing there is in me;
a need—
to spit
salty into
the oncoming wind
and then—to just
remain perfect-
ly still—
while the
home—to hit
the rock it came from.

How To Check Your Mouse DPI?
Mouse DPI or Displacement Per Inch is defined by how much the mouse moves in respect to per inch distance. It is measured in numbers, and is seen in steps of 400, 800, 1600, 3200, and so on. Most gaming mice of today use a DPI shifter button in them via which the mouse can change the DPI on the fly. Some gaming mice who do not have the DPI shifter in them, they use their respective manufacture software to check their DPI. This includes software like Logitech Gaming Software, Razer Synapse, Corsair iCue, HyperX Ngenuity Software or even the SteelSeries Engine. The list of various types of manufacturer software goes on and on.
So if you're asking what my mouse DPI is, then you've come just to the right place. In this article, we're going to help you see and know the DPI value you're using on your mouse, in all straightforward and secure manner. Just follow the below procedures, and you will be good to go. Without further ado, let's get going.
Method 1: How To Find Mouse DPI via DPI Shifters On The Mouse?
Most mouse of today, be it gaming or for work, which has a DPI shifter in them, have specific specified steps of changing DPI on the fly. This means that the mouse is engineered to set to that same level of DPI when the user increases or decreases the DPI. This is why mice of today are engineered with DPI steps starting low at 800 DPI and end at the highest DPI the mouse supports. 800 DPI is the most used configuration, so that's why it is the default in today's mouse.
For example, if a mouse, like the Razer Basilisk, the lowest default DPI is 800. And then it gradually increases with the next step being 1600, 3200, 6400 and so on. Most people use DPI up to a maximum of 3200 or 6400, and anything more than that is just unusable. The following steps will help you find the default configuration:
- If you have a DPI shifter on your mouse, click on it and change the DPI.
- Then use the mouse for some movement. Then again change the DPI and then move your mouse back.
- Do these steps one-by-one repeatedly, until you find the DPI settings that will move the mouse slowest. The DPI settings which will move the mouse slowest will be the default configuration of 800 DPI. Then the next step will be 1600, which will move the mouse a little faster, and then the following settings will be 3200 and so on. In this way, you will find the DPI value of your mouse.
Method 2: How To Find Mouse DPI via Software?
If your mouse doesn't have any DPI shifters and sorely rely on software to know and change the DPI, then you have no other option to change the DPI without installing the respective manufacturer software. Therefore, the following are some of the most famous mouse brands of today and their respective mice software:
Razer – Razer Synapse
Cooler Master – Cooler Master Mouse Software
Corsair – iCue
HyperX – Ngenuity Software
Logitech – Logitech Gaming Software / Logitech Options / Logitech G Hub
Steelseries – Steelseries Engine
- The first step to do here is to head over to the official product page of the mouse and download the respective software from the Support section.
- The next step would be to install the downloaded software and set up your mouse for the first time.
- Then head over to the Mouse DPI changing tab, and from there you will come to know about the current DPI value.
- You will also be able to change the DPI value as well, by increasing or decreasing as per your needs.
- After the final set up, make sure to save the settings, and you're good to go.
Method 3: Using A DPI Checker Software Like DPI Analyzer
This is one of the trickiest yet very accurate ways of measuring the DPI of your mouse. The process is very much simple, as you have to use an online website to estimate the DPI of your mouse. The website that you need to visit is https://www.mouse-sensitivity.com/dpianalyzer/.
After opening the above website on your web browser, you need to follow the following steps:
- First, you have to measure the distance accurately, you use or need to move your mouse freely. This can be for any use, be it doing regular work, gaming or drawing. The measurements should be in units of inch or cm.
- Then use that value to enter in the Target Distance box on the website.
- Then since you do not know the current DPI value of your mouse, leave the Configured DPI box empty. This is because a wrong value can mess up the overall calculation.
- Now you need to click on the red crosshair and hold the mouse click and move the crosshair.
- Move the crosshair just the distance as you specified in the Target Box. Do it slowly and accurately, and make sure that your cursor doesn't hit the frame of the monitor.
- Finally, the actual DPI will be displayed on the screen.
With the help of this mouse DPI test, you can now easily know the DPI settings of your mouse, without even using a software.
Method 4: Check Product Page
This is the last method to check out when you want to know the DPI of your mouse. If you're not successful with either one of the above procedures, then heading over to the product page of the respective manufacturer mouse, will be the easiest job to do.
Still, you will not be able to know the actual DPI your mouse, but only the range of DPI it supports and also the maximum DPI it can go. Therefore, it's better than knowing nothing about your little computer mouse and thus will at least help you get more insight into the quality of the mouse as well.

There is no link between short-term mobile-phone use and ill health, according to a report by the U.K. Health Protection Agency.
The 2007 update on progress made by the agency's Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research (MTHR) Program--established in 2001--suggests that mobile phones are not responsible for brain cancer, discrepancies in brain function or the symptoms of so-called "electrical hypersensitivity".
However, the authors of the report wrote that the long-term effects of mobile phone usage remain unclear, as only a limited number of those taking part in the studies were mobile phone users for 10 years or more. They also suggest that the effects of radio frequencies on children may differ from those on adults, and they proposed extensions to the program to investigate these two knowledge gaps.
"This is a very substantial report from a large research program," said MTHR chairman Professor Lawrie Challis on Wednesday. "The work reported today has all been published in respected peer-reviewed scientific or medical journals. The results are so far reassuring but there is still a need for more research, especially to check that no effects emerge from longer-term phone use from adults and from use by children."
Another area where the MTHR group is proposing further investigation is that of Tetra, the radio communications service used by the emergency services. The group has also examined the effects of picocells, but found them to be well within international safety limits.
The MTHR report follows a three-year study released in July by the Electromagnetics and Health Laboratory at the University of Essex, that found no links between mobile base stations and ill health. However, a Dutch study recently concluded that mobile phones did hold the potential to interfere with intensive-care equipment in hospitals if they were placed very close together.
Mobile phone signals were also recently blamed for a collapse in U.S. bee colonies, but that turned out to be the result of a virus rather than radio activity.

There are plenty of apps out there for just about everyone and everything, however not everybody likes to pay for them. So for the people out there that are what some may call "cheap" (like myself) I have come up with my list of the top 5 must have FREE apps for the Blackberry Storm. Some on this list are productive and some are just plain fun.
#1 iheartradio
This is the app that anyone who listens to the radio at any point in the day must have. It is a Clear Channel Radio developed application and it allows you to stream over 150 radio stations from all across the country. You also have the option to bookmark stations and tag songs, and you can even randomize for something new whenever you like. One last thing if you are going to be using this app as much as I do (which is all day long) I highly suggest that you make sure you have an unlimited data plan. http://www.iheartradio.com
#2 QuickPull
This application is a very simple concept. Most people know or are at least told to do a reset on their Blackberry every so often to keep it running properly. And in order to do so you need to pull out your battery wait a few seconds then restart your device. QuickPull actually simulates that without the hassle of having to fumble around with the battery cover and the possibility of a dropped phone! (we have all been there) Now there are two different types of QuickPull the FREE version and QuickPull pro… the main difference is that the pro version gives you access to a few different features such as being able to schedule a reset. Why is this app important you ask? Well it's very simple, it closes out any applications that were forgotten about and left running and it also frees up memory and by doing this it allows your device to run smoother and faster. http://software.crackberry.com/product.asp?id=27660&n=QuickPull-Lite
#3 StormLocker
Again this is a very simple concept, but a must have! Anyone out there that owns a Storm has at one point or another hit something on the screen with their face or cheek while on a phone call, whether it's muting the call or putting that caller on speaker phone. StormLocker puts an end to all of that… The way its works is simple, as soon as a call (incoming or outgoing) connects the screen locks up which allows you to forget about the way you have to hold your phone (which would be slightly away form your face). To unlock this feature during a call is very easy there is a slide to unlock widget at the bottom of the screen (very similar to the iPhone). This app could save you a lot of frustration and embarrassment for that matter. http://www.joekrill.com/stormlocker/
#4 logMaid
This app runs in the background so there is NO icon for it. It is designed to clear out your event log. There are people out there that are not aware of this so called "event log". All it is, is a log that keeps track of everything you do on your phone, and when that log starts to build up (and it will very fast) it takes up a ton of memory that you aren't even aware of. Every hour it will clean out your event log freeing up extra memory for you and you don't ever have to do a thing.
#5 Viigo
This application is a bit of everything at your fingertips. It's only one click away from News, Weather, Entertainment, Sports (scores and schedules), Stocks, Flight information, Movies, Shopping, and of course your social networking like Twitter and Facebook. You can tell Viigo your interest and it keeps itself up to date…So all your info is available immediately. It's the app that gets to know you! Its just the information that you care about instantly. http://www.viigo.com/
Now keep in mind there are more Apps being developed everyday, so be sure to check back regularly because I'm sure this list will change on a regular basis. But for now I hope these are as useful to you as they are for me!

For many, love is failing as a lot of us are guilty of self-sabotage!
Is this you or someone you know?
Watch my TEDx Talk to find out!
"There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people."
~Vincent van Gogh~
Relationships Research
This current research project aims to assess how individuals' differences contribute to self-sabotage in intimate relationships. Several studies are being conducted to investigate how characteristics such as demographics (i.e., age, gender and sexual orientation), relationship factors (i.e., status, duration, quality and stress), adult attachment styles, flirting styles, traumatic experiences and capability to cope with traumatic events can influence self-defeating behaviours. Additionally, studies are being conducted to develop a typology to describe romantic self-sabotours.
Suicide Research
Research conducted investigated cross-cultural perceptions of suicide and the impact of suicide stigma and religiosity on the recognition of suicide risk in others.
Bullying Research
Research conducted investigated the individual characteristics of adults who are bullied in the workplace. The cost to individuals and organisations was considered within the increase trend of work presenteeism.
Medical Education Research
This current research project aims to identify the challenges and opportunities associated with provision of high quality training for general practitioners working in rural and remote areas and increase the potential for workforce recruitment. Recommendations towards strengthening health care in underserved communities are considered.

Tiny, Rabbit-Like Animals Eating "Paper" to Survive Global Warming
A new study probed the surprising diet of threatened alpine pikas.
As the planet continues to warm, conservation biologists worry about the future of species that depend on the cold, such as the furry pikas that live in mountainous areas of North America, Europe, and Asia. But American pikas (Ochotona princeps) may be able to survive a warming planet thanks to a most unusual food source.
A new study found that pikas living at lower elevations seem to thrive in part by eating nutrient-poor mosses, which suggests that these animals may be able to adapt their behavior to a warming planet.
Pikas are known for their ability to live in frigid, alpine areas, and these furry critters are a common sight on the rocky slopes of Mount Hood, outside of Portland, Oregon. Part of the lagomorph order, which includes rabbits and hares, the American pika is the size of a large mouse and looks like a miniature guinea pig.
The pika has a very high metabolism, which enables it to produce large amounts of body heat. Its large belly, short limbs, small ears, and absent tail give it an almost spherical shape that helps it conserve this body heat, as does its thick layer of gray-brown fur. The pika is so good at conserving heat that spending more than two days living at temperatures above 78°F (25.5°C) can kill it.
It's why University of Utah Ph.D. student Johanna Varner was so surprised to hear reports of pikas living in the Columbia River Gorge, a low-lying area not far from Mount Hood. The environment in the gorge is totally different from what the pikas were used to on Mount Hood itself.
On the mountain, the pikas had only three months without snow—a short summer period in which the roly-poly furballs made a mad dash to collect as many plants, grasses, and shrubs as they could to create caches of food known as haypiles to nibble on throughout the long winter. The Columbia River Gorge, on the other hand, is covered in snow for less than three weeks per year. Varner wanted to know how these pikas lived and what they ate.
She trekked from Utah to Oregon to conduct detailed studies of the pikas on Mount Hood and in the gorge. In the Journal of Mammalogy, Varner and a colleague note that they took turns at two-hour binocular shifts, observing everything that adult pikas ate. Unlike their counterparts on Mount Hood, the Columbia Gorge pikas consumed a diet of moss. This surprised Varner even more because mosses are not a high-quality food source.
"Mammals typically can't eat large amounts of moss because it's a low-quality food. It's about 80 percent fiber, so it's kind of the consistency of eating paper," Varner said.
Eats, Poops, and Leaves
Helping the pikas extract maximum nutrition from these mosses is a habit called coprophagia, which "is a fancy way of saying they eat their own poop," Varner says.
Although the pika produces some fecal pellets that are small and hard, it also produces fecal matter known as caecal pellets, which are larger and wetter than other poop. The pikas then reingest the caecal pellets, which are a surprisingly nutritious mix of partially digested moss and gut microbes. Unlike the pika, the microbes can directly digest the moss, which enables the pika to extract more nutrients.
"This is about six times more nutritious than the moss is," Varner said. "It's the same idea as a cow chewing its cud, only the pikas use the other end."
Although the moss might not provide the quality of nutrients that grasses and wildflowers provide—even when the pikas eat their fecal leftovers—Varner noted that the low-altitude pikas did not appear to expend nearly as much energy gathering plants for their haypiles as the pikas on Mount Hood did. This energy savings might help to offset the reduced nutrients and energy in the moss.
In 2010, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service declared that American pikas were not yet considered endangered and declined to add them to the endangered species list. This upset many environmentalists, who believe that warming temperatures are placing the pikas at risk.
Varner says that her work doesn't imply that climate change won't ever harm pikas, but it does indicate that they are much more flexible in their behaviors than previously thought. She also notes that it's still currently unclear whether other pika species share this behavioral flexibility and cautions against assuming that all pika species will respond this way to climate change.

There are just some places that you don't expect your cat to be. Unfortunately, when it comes to bizarre hiding spots, my cat has stealth prowess. Her camouflage skills are so astute that I assume that she landed on the front steps of her former animal shelter after a windstorm during parachute practice which ended her relatively short-lived employment with the US Secret Service. She never fails to keep me guessing about her whereabouts, and no more so than the day she received her nickname "Trashy".
It was a Friday afternoon, and I was sitting on my futon engrossed in a book. My cat, Dora, was nowhere to be seen. All of a sudden, I heard a frantic cat scream and a large thud in the kitchen. These are relatively common sounds in my household as Dora is trademarked by her inordinately large number of unusual domestic accidents and reputation for paying for her veterinarian's Winter Solstice cruise to Jamaica. After briefly patting myself on the back for adding "collision" to Dora's medical insurance, I dashed to the kitchen wondering what Lucille Ball-worthy catastrophe befell my accident prone kitty.
My kitchen isn't especially large. Opening my refrigerator door decreases my kitchen's square footage by 75%. Therefore, the fact that I couldn't immediately find my cat was perplexing, especially as alien abductions were not particularly common in my condo complex. I really started to get worried. Where could that feline be?
Then, my garbage can started walking across the floor.
Despite the fact that my garbage can had a lid on it with a very small push door, I knew I lived far enough from Amityville for it not to be walking on its own. I picked up the lid, and at the very bottom of the garbage can was my cat. She apparently fell off my counter, and somehow managed to hit the garbage can lid door just right, falling in. Seeing as my garbage can was 3-feet tall, completely empty, and quite heavy, she was simply sitting at the bottom of the can, unable to do much about her predicament. She looked up at me pitifully, saying the only thing she could.
Which in kitty language translated to, "I know I look really stupid, but I can't get out of here myself."
That is how my cat got the nickname "Trashy". Thankfully, she didn't hurt anything other than her pride, and in a few minutes she was back to her normal self. I was simply grateful I didn't have to take her to the medical clinic, and try to convince the veterinarian of the accuracy of the tale. If that was the case, I would be writing this tale in between attempted pet health insurance fraud hearings.

Fernando Alonso: McLaren driver could take 2016 break from F1
Last updated on .From the section Formula 1
|Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
|Venue: Yas Marina Circuit Dates: 27-29 November
|Coverage: Live BBC TV, radio and text coverage of the race. Full details here.
Fernando Alonso could take a sabbatical from Formula 1 next year if McLaren remain uncompetitive, the team's chairman Ron Dennis says.
Alonso is contracted until the end of 2017, but McLaren struggled in their first year with engine partner Honda.
Dennis said: "I have an open mind. Some ideas have involved those sorts of considerations - sabbatical years."
Alonso admitted he discussed the idea with Dennis some time ago but it was now his "intention" to race in 2016.
"I discussed many ideas but not at this part of the year," Alonso said. "We feel so much more positive than before with the recent pace of the car. It is something we didn't discuss for four or five months already.
"My intention is to race and I think I will race."
Former F1 driver Mark Webber, who is close to Alonso, said he believed the 34-year-old would make a final decision after trying the 2016 McLaren in pre-season testing next February.
"I think he is a ticking bomb," Webber said. "I think give him two or three days in the car and if the car is uncompetitive I think he'll have a year off."
But Alonso said that it would be "impossible to know how the season will go" after one test, adding: "If we are second or ninth, it will not change my approach or my intention to keep winning that season."
The Spaniard said after the Japanese Grand Prix in September that he "didn't know" whether he would race at McLaren next year.
Later that day, he put out a series of tweets reaffirming his commitment to McLaren, saying: "No-one should have any doubt that I have three years with McLaren and my career in F1 will end with this team, hopefully winning everything."
Nevertheless, insiders have continued to express doubts about whether Alonso, who left Ferrari for McLaren at the end of last season because he believed they would give him a better chance of winning a third world title, could face another season at the back of the grid.
There have been suggestions since Japan that if the Honda engine remains uncompetitive in 2016, Alonso could take a year out and come back to fulfil the final two years of his contract in 2017 and 2018.
Although he and team-mate Jenson Button have generally remained positive and optimistic in their public utterances in 2015, their frustrations have occasionally surfaced.
Dennis said he believed McLaren and Honda would be more competitive in 2016.
He told a news conference at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Saturday: "We have a great number of driver options. We have two of the best drivers in the world in our cars.
"When we have to take the decision, we will take it together and at this moment in time our drivers of next year are Fernando and Jenson Button."
He added that Alonso "will definitely finish his career in McLaren".
Dennis said: "We have quite a lot of confidence in where we will be at the beginning of next season. It is most definitely going in the right direction.
"We are going up a painful curve, but up it we will go and we will get there."
McLaren will almost certainly finish ninth of 10 teams in the championship this season, meaning their garage will be moved to the far end of the pit lane.
Dennis said: "I know where the motorhome will be but I don't think the car will be matching that position."

New Delhi:
India's close and time-tested relations with Russia stand on their own merit and are not influenced by Moscow's relations with other countries, said the government on Thursday.
Speaking at the weekly press briefing, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said: "India's close, time tested and strategic relations with Russia stand on their own merit and are not influenced by relations with other countries."
Speaking on Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's visit to India, the MEA spokesperson said: "The visit of the Russian Foreign Minister was a good opportunity to renew and review our privileged partnership. A broad range of issues were discussed."
Mr Bagchi, however, did not comment on Russia's supply of defence equipment to Pakistan.
Lavrov recently embarked on a two-day visit to India. According to the MEA, the visit provided a unique opportunity to discuss important aspects of bilateral ties, review preparations for the next India-Russia annual summit and discuss regional and international issues of mutual interest.
He also held delegation-level talks with External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar.
"Our bilateral cooperation remains energetic and forward-looking. We talked about the longstanding partnership in the nuclear space and defence sectors. We assess positively our economic cooperation noting new opportunities in the Russian far east. We spoke of connectivity including the International North-South Transport Corridor and Chennai-Vladivostok Maritime Corridor," Mr Jaishankar said.
During his visit, Lavrov had said that he did not discuss the issue of US pressure or sanctions on the sale of S-400 to India, adding that if Washington puts pressure on any country, we know there will be a reciprocal reaction.

The term "variable speed" refers to the furnace's indoor blower motor, which moves at different speeds to precisely control the flow of heated and cooled air throughout your home. Better airflow control has several benefits:
Electrical efficiency
Variable speed motors can actually save you money on your energy bills, as they consume less electricity than standard motors.
Cooling efficiency
Variable speed technology also means you will gain heating efficiency or AFUE.
Variable speed motors are excellent for zoning, which allows you to customize your comfort in different areas of your home and control your energy bills.
Air quality
A variable speed motor can also help clean the air in your home. When the fan is in constant operation (indicated by the "Fan" setting on your thermostat), the motor will continue to slowly circulate air, allowing filters to capture more contaminants.
Humidity control
A variable speed motor combined with a Lennox ComfortSense® 7000 Series thermostat Home Comfort Control allows you to control the amount of humidity in your home for improved indoor air quality and comfort.
Two-stage heating means the furnace has two levels of heat output: high for cold winter days and low for milder days. Since the low setting is adequate to meet household heating demands 80% of the time, a two-stage unit runs for longer periods and provides more even heat distribution.
Longer, low-capacity operation has many advantages:
Consistent comfort
Two-stage heating eliminates the temperature swings associated with standard furnaces, regulating temperature to within as little as one degree of the thermostat setting.
Quiet operation
Two-stage furnaces start in the first stage, when the amount of heat required is lower, instead of reaching full capacity all at once. That means there's no sudden "kick" or blast of air.
Improved air filtration
Low-speed operation allows your filters to capture more contaminants (because air is constantly passing through them), so you can breathe easier.
Efficient performance
Because the furnace operates mostly in its lower-capacity first stage, it burns less fuel than a standard furnace that always runs at full capacity and shuts off when the heating demand has been met.
Furnaces are rated by the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) ratio, which is the percent of heat produced for every dollar of fuel consumed.
Like the miles-per-gallon rating on your automobile, the higher the AFUE rating, the lower your fuel costs. All furnaces manufactured today must meet at least 78% AFUE. If your furnace is 10-15 years old, it very well may fall below the current furnace minimum and waste energy.
This doesn't mean that you should only select a furnace based on its AFUE rating. The efficiency rating is just one factor to consider when looking for a new furnace.
Furnaces use electricity to run fans and motors. The amount of electricity used varies greatly depending on the type of furnace. Be sure to check electricity usage prior to making a purchase decision.
Furnace technology has advanced significantly in recent years. Modern furnaces are designed to provide more even and efficient heating than past furnaces, which can impact both how your system operates and what you notice about your system.
To better regulate temperatures and airflow, modern furnaces move more air over the heat exchanger than older furnaces. The air that comes out of your furnace registers may not seem as warm as the air from your old furnace, but overall airflow is improved. Better airflow means higher comfort.
Also, new furnaces are designed to integrate with high-efficiency air conditioners, so furnace blowers are more powerful to accommodate add-on cooling. Since cold air is much heavier than warm air, your system needs an extra boost from the blower to deliver cool air throughout your home. If you have an older home, this performance boost could produce unfamiliar sounds because air duct systems were originally designed for heating only. To minimize sound levels, choose a variable speed product which automatically changes speeds to meet the airflow needs of both heating and cooling cycles.
A heat pump is an all-in-one heating and air conditioning system that works year-round to keep you comfortable.
During warmer months, a heat pump works as a normal air conditioner. It extracts heat from inside the home and transfers it to the outdoor air. In colder weather, however, the process reverses: the unit collects heat from the outdoor air and transferring it inside your home.
Even when the air outside feels extremely cold, the air still contains some heat. The heat pump pulls the heat from this cold outdoor air and sends it inside to warm your home. When there's not enough heat in the outside air to meet the demand of the thermostat setting, an electric heater supplements the outdoor air to warm the home. Extremely efficient, this process produces two to three times more heat than the energy it uses.
Also, a heat pump can be an effective add-on option to use in conjunction with an existing gas furnace. With this dual-fuel option, the two systems share the heating load, but never function at the same time. Each system operates when it is most cost effective. The heat pump will be the primary heating and cooling system. However, when the temperature drops below the heat pump's ability to operate as efficiently as the gas furnace, the gas furnace will take over until the temperature rises enough for the heat pump to operate more efficiently.
"Indoor air quality," or IAQ, is a relatively new topic in environmental safety. While a lot of attention has been placed on outdoor pollution over the past few decades, the focus on indoor air quality is just beginning. The quality of a home's air mainly has to do with the amount of pollutants inside, but it's also determined by humidity and ventilation levels. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has found that concentrations of pollutants can be up to 100 times higher indoors than outdoors. The American Lung Association estimates that most people spend 90% of their time indoors, so clean indoor air is very important.
There are several everyday steps you can take to reduce the pollutants circulating in your home's air, including:
- Store household cleaners, paint solvents and chemical products in tightly sealed containers. If possible, keep them outdoors.
- Clean and vacuum at least once a week.
- Regularly wash bed linens and stuffed toys.
- Keep windows closed when pollen, pollution and humidity levels are high.
- Ask your local Lennox dealer to inspect and clean your home's heating and cooling system.
- Make sure your home is properly ventilated. (Modern homes are well insulated and sealed to conserve energy, which means airborne pollutants have no way to escape).
- Keep humidity levels within a healthy, comfortable range to prevent growth of mold and mildew (30% – 60%).
- Avoid using scented deodorizers and odor-masking air fresheners, which may cause toxic chemicals.
- Choose furnishings that emit the smallest possible amount of chemical vapors.
- Do not allow smoking inside your home and make sure all gas appliances are properly vented.
There are some basic strategies for outsmarting indoor air pollution:
The first step toward better indoor air is to identify the sources of air pollutants and remove as many as possible from your home. You can decrease the amount of dust and dirt in your home by cleaning and vacuuming at least once a week. You should also regularly wash bed linens and stuffed toys. If someone in your family is sensitive to fumes, you should safely store household products and use them only when necessary. If you need help determining if you have a problem with pollutants, contact your local Lennox dealer to evaluate your home and indoor comfort system.
Today's modern homes are well insulated and sealed to conserve energy, which means airborne pollutants have no way to escape. Healthy Climate® ventilation systems help remove allergy-aggravating particles and germs by exchanging stale, recirculated indoor air with fresh, filtered outside air.
Although cleaning and ventilating helps reduce indoor air pollutants, these simple fixes are not cure-alls. Some contaminants are so small that they may escape through the vacuum or never land on a surface. Healthy Climate® air cleaners and high-efficiency air filters capture even the smallest of particles and germs. Germicidal lights kill them. And a PureAir air purification system goes a step further; it removes particles, germs and odors, and it destroys chemical vapors.
Improper humidity levels and high temperatures can actually increase concentrations of particles and germs. An icomfort Wi-Fi touchscreen thermostat or ComfortSense® programmable thermostat regulates moisture levels and temperatures to improve indoor air quality and enhance comfort.
To determine which indoor air quality system best meets your needs, contact your local Lennox Dealer.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, items inside the home that release gas are the primary cause of indoor air problems. The list includes carpeting, upholstered furniture, gas appliances, paints and solvents, cleaning products, air fresheners, dry-cleaned clothing and pesticides. If you have an attached garage, fumes from the gasoline, oil and antifreeze in your car can find their way into your home's air. Harsh chemicals can also come from cigarette smoke and woodstoves.
Insufficient ventilation can worsen the problem because pollutants get trapped inside. Tightly sealed and well-insulated homes keep out fresher outdoor air, which can dilute the pollutants. High temperature and humidity levels can also increase concentrations of some pollutants.
There are several factors to consider when choosing a filtration system, starting with sensitivity to allergens. The more sensitive a person is to allergens, the greater the need for a high-efficiency filtration system.
The efficiency of the air filter should be a top consideration. Efficiency is based on the size of the particles captured by an air filter. The higher the efficiency, the more effective it will be. Look for the filter's MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) number, the industry standard for rating filters based on their performance. Residential filters typically have an MERV range of one to eight. Higher ratings ranging from 10 to 16 indicate more efficient filters. High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) systems use hospital-grade filtration technology with a performance that's equivalent to a MERV 17 filtration efficiency or higher.
Higher filter efficiency not only helps clear the air, but it also improves airflow. Generally, the more efficient a filter is, the less airflow reduction there will be.
Cost is another major factor—both in terms of the initial purchase price and expense of maintenance and upgrades. Purchasing a filter of reasonably high quality can save you money over the long term. Inexpensive filters may not provide the level of filtration you need and may also require frequent filter replacement.
Among the many filtration products available are pleated filters, which are constructed of fiberglass or synthetic fibers woven into a more dense material. The pleats are arranged in V-shaped forms to increase the area of the filter material without increasing the face area. This increases the particle-holding capability.
Germicidal lights use intense ultraviolet light to sterilize surfaces. Each solution removes and destroys allergy-aggravating particles and germs.
Electronic air cleaners (EACs) take recirculated air and pass it through a prefilter that traps large pollutants. Then, ionizing wires give a positive electrical charge to remaining particles. A negatively charged collecting section captures the particles. High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters are also very effective at small-particle removal. An optional carbon canister can help control odors and chemicals.
Yes, wood is a renewable natural resource – well managed forests are a renewable, sustainable source of energy that helps us reduce greenhouse gas emissions and be less dependent on oil & gas. Wood is also carbon neutral. This means that as trees grow they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When trees die and are left to decompose in the forest or burn in forest fires the carbon stored in the trees is released in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. Burning firewood produces the same amount of carbon dioxide as it has absorbed during it's life cycle – making wood burning carbon neutral.
A catalytic converter is a device through which wood smoke is channeled. It lowers the combustion temperature of the gases, allowing them to be consumed at lower firing. Secondary combustion mixes air with the exhaust gases, causing them to re-ignite and burn before going up the chimney.
Basically, a substrate material such as cordierite, is plated with two or more precious metals. During the combustion process, the gases that are released result in friction between the plating materials, which can create extremely high temperatures. Since smoke and other gases are load with energy, the catalyst coverts these into usable heat fro your home.
Yes. After a number of years, catalysts can loose their efficiencies. It is not uncommon to get up to 10 years or more service from a catalyst. Burning well-seasoned dry cordwood only can best prolong the catalyst life. If you are planning on burning boards with nail, paint or chemical treatments, or using your stove to burn household trash, you should not use a catalytic wood stove. Of course, all catalysts installed in Blaze King wood models are covered by a 6 year prorated warranty.
Dry, seasoned wood is best. The type of tree is not as important as moisture content. Wood must be allowed to dry for a minimum of 12 months, under cover, after being split and stacked. Popular firewood in the Kootenays are Douglas fir, spruce, pine, birch, larch & hemlock. Another good fuel source is pressed fire logs, manufactured by pressurizing sawdust, as opposed to wax-based decorative logs, which have limited heating value.
A chimney fire occurs when a build-up of soot and creosote ignites inside the venting system of a fireplace or woodstove. Wood-burning chimneys should be cleaned when a quarter inch or more of soot is present. Build-up can be more rapid in a woodstove than in a fireplace. In a woodstove vent, dangerous build-up may occur in less a month or may take much longer, depending on burn habits, fuel and other variables. New woodstove users should inspect their systems during the first season to learn their rate of soot build-up and determine cleaning frequency. Newer certified "clean-burning" stoves generate much less creosote than older non-certified stoves. Fireplaces do not need to be cleaned as often as wood-stoves.
First make sure your chimney is properly sized for both flue area and termination height. Try to avoid offset angles and keep the chimney as straight as possible. Try to size your woodstove correctly for the area you want to heat. This will ensure that you are able to burn it hot (efficiently) and avoid creosote build-up. Always warm-up your chimney by burning vigorously for the first 45-60 minutes before you reduce the air supply and burn slowly.
EPA Regulations are government regulations of wood burning appliances mandating that products sold after July 1, 1992, emit no more than 4.1 grams of particulate matter per hour for catalytic-equipped units and no more than 7.5 grams for non-catalytic-equipped units.
When starting a fire, use plenty of crumpled newspaper and kindling. As a guide, fill the firebox completely with loosely crumpled newspaper and hold it down with at least ten pieces of finely-split dry kindling. Softwoods make the best kindling. Find out where the combustion air enters the firebox of your stove and light the fire there so that the fire gets plenty of air. Open the air inlets fully.
- Use dry, split kindling and newspaper to set the fire
- Use a separate piece of newspaper formed into a torch and lit at one end to warm the flue, once the damper is opened
- When draft is established, light the kindling
- Once the kindling is burning, add pieces of larger wood. Be careful not to smother the fire with pieces that are too large
- Do not overload the firebox
- Burn fires of reasonable size
- Do not burn garbage or waste materials, especially highly flammable materials such as gift wrappings or evergreen boughs
- Never use flammable liquids to start a fire.
- The chimney flue should be the same size as the appliance flue collar. In the past, many chimneys were too large for the appliance they served. But bigger is not better when it comes to chimney size. Flue gas flows faster and has less time to lose heat in a smaller chimney flue. In planning wood-heating systems, some experienced installers even choose a chimney that has a smaller inside diameter than the appliance flue collar. They usually do this when the chimney runs inside the house and is fairly tall. Chimneys taller than 8 m (about 26 ft.) sometimes produce more draft than the appliance needs, so a smaller-diameter chimney doesn't reduce performance. Only an experienced technician should decide whether the flue should be smaller than the appliance flue collar.
- Taller chimneys produce stronger draft. A rule of thumb is that the entire system (from the floor on which the appliance is mounted to the top of the chimney) must be at least 4.6 m (15 ft.) high. Most installations are taller than this, but those in cottages with shallow-pitch roofs or in single-storey buildings with flat roofs may not. If you experience draft problems with a short system, consider adding to the chimney's height. However, if your chimney runs up the outside wall of the house, making it taller may not improve draft, because the extra heat loss cancels out any benefit

Bigg Boss 11 contestants turned the game in a shocking way by voting Hiten Tejwani out of the show recently.
The weekend ka vaar episode of Bigg Boss 11 saw Hiten Tejwani bidding goodbye to the housemates. However, his own friends voted him out.
Salman Khan asked housemates to nominate who they think should leave the house. The results would completely depend on their majority. In the final decision, Shilpa, Hina, Akash and Luv took Priyank's name to save him and they unanimously save Priyank. Hiten gets evicted from the house.
Many TV stars took to Twitter and expressed their disappointment over Hiten's eviction. Some even blamed Shilpa Shinde over Hiten's ouster. Bigg Boss 10 winner Manveer Gurjar was among them who expressed his anger over Hiten Tejwani's eviction. However, he didn't mention Shilpa anywhere in the tweet.
It's so sad and disappointing to see @tentej leaving the house! The most dignified and gentleman in the house! Salute ???????? ur journey was awesome…. Proud Hiten Bhaau! ?
— Manveer Gurjar (@imanveergurjar) December 17, 2017
However, Shilpa Shinde fans thought that the tweet was against Shilpa. They mercilessly abused Bigg Boss 11 winner Manveer Gurjar over this.
See manveer….. Hiten ko piblic k votes mile hi nai… Thats y biggboss ne ye decision gharwalo par dala… Kyuki hiten to kam votes k wajah se jana hi tha.. But bigg boss ne socha k ho sakta hai gharwale priyank ko nikal de… But bad luck for hiten… ???

— divya jha (@divyajha57) December 20, 2017
With no option, he finally decided to clear what he actually meant. He tweeted, "With all due respect 2 all #Shilpa Ji's fans did I say anything against Shilpa in this tweet?Displaying her pic as ur DP and abusing others are not goin 2 gain her any kind of respect & support! Stop damaging her image more! Fans r suppose to b true well wishers. #StopNegativity."

Multiple users on a single account
I'm not sure I really understand your question. Generally speaking, there's one Sonos system set up in a LAN (home). But each speaker can be controlled by all controllers connected to the LAN. If you have two or more speakers connected, any of the controllers can control any / all of those speakers (rooms).
It's annoying if I'm part-way through an album and come home to find she's played Gloria Estifan in the afternoon and I have to load my album again and remember the place I was at.
I understand each controller would need to be aware of other controllers but surely it's not beyond the wit of the software engineers to notify a user that the speaker is in use by another controller if they try and play something.
I understand your particular frustration but your request will never happen, can never happen and must never happen!
The suggestion from
If all your Sonos are newer and support AirPlay/AirPlay 2, and you use native apps on your iPhone or other AirPlay 2 client, then your client device will be able to continue from where it left off.
Of course, you aren't using the Sonos app, that's a positive in many cases 🙂 and your client device will be actively streaming (can't be shut off as it it both a controller and a source), but would give you the experience you want otherwise?
Sure, just add her Amazon account using the Sonos app. In the app itself there is a clunky UI to switch between your account and hers. You play your stuff, she plays here, no problem.
If you use Alexa then this might be a problem, I am not aware of how to get the official Sonos skill to handle this case, but could be wrong. I use my own thing on Alexa.
The critical point here is that the app is not a music player. It is a means of viewing the system and issuing commands to it. The system has to remain agnostic about where a command has come from in a multi-controller environment like Sonos. Every controller must give the same picture of the system.
The suggestion from
You are completly wrong, the app is a music player for shure. A severly limited one is multiuser
John is 100% correct. This is why you can start a playback using your phone, then leave your home, and the stream continues to play.
The middle point is when you're playing "from this device" on an Android phone, since it no longer works on an iOS device. In that case, the Android device is acting as an NAS style source for the data, but the player itself is still on the speakers, which are reaching out to get the stream from where they are told it is. There is never any music playing by the app on the phone.

You have completly missed the consept and your example is non relevant.
If you are home or not, or if the stream goes directly from source to speaker, or relayed or act as a remote is not relevant att all.
The fact is you need to use the app to initialize playing of radio channels added as source to the speaker, there are no other way to start this if you dont want to use thirdparty apps for this, as long as this is the fact, the sonos app is a music player
I just got 2 one gen 2 speakers and to be honest my first impression with multiuser and user isolation in regards to privacy in sonos make me think this is a pile of nonsense

Delightful words. This is a community forum and we are trying to explain how the system works. If you get the concept you will realise just how flexible the Sonos system is.
Anyone on your lan with the Sonos app (or Spotify, Amazon music, Alexa, Airplay2, Google home) can play music in any room. They can add to queue, or even delete items. The Sonos app just fires a command to the speaker to play music from a particular source. If you use Alexa it fires the same command direct to the speaker. Group speakers together and it will play to all of them in sync.
This concept is what made Sonos unique when it launched and is still one of the few systems to offer this flexibility
That pile of **** is something much loved by users.
This system has multiple flaws:
- System is tied to a user account, its in fact a single user system.
- Its not possible for a second user to add spotify directly to the system without logging in to the system owners account
- Its not possible for the system owner to add spotify to the system for user two if system owner ront have a spotify account.
- Privacy is non existent, its possible for system owner to interact with spotify accounts added to the system that is belonging to a different user.
- Sonos speakers is sending hughe amount of data to their own system and to google.and amazon. Blocking outgoing traffic from speaker to spotify, or any service that is non source of the streaming music makes the speaker useless.
- No information about thirdparty integration and whats data is collected.
In my view the reason sonos is loved is its simpel for stupid people, much like apple, it just works even if you sold your soul for it. For advamced users sonos is garbage. Why does sonos stick with 802.11g? Its a extremely old protocol and should have been replaced 10 years ago.
But the worst is ofcourse multiuser setup and complete.lack of privacy and no gdpr compliance.
Lovely comments
This sonos is just utterly .crap. after using it for some days the list of issues with this system is pretty long, so long that all my speakers is going straight back to sonos, is just to poorly done for my taste.
I recommend spotify to realy look into privacy, this system is in my view a hugh problem and in direct conflict with gdpr.
Also, multiuser is non existent. What the heck is sonos thinking when two spotify useraccounts is added to same sonos, other users have access to private listings, and is in fact possible for anybody to use someone elses spotifyaccount. Iam truly shocked what kind of lazy approach sonos is taking.
I am pretty relaxed about my wife using my playlists. There's privacy and then there is paranoia.

Yes for shure me to, but the problem to this approach is that i need to login with the sonos system owner account on the individual users phones and then add their spotify account to the system. Again what the heck, a system owners account should ONLY be used on the owners devices not on anyone elses phones.
And when two or more users have the sonos app, why is it so that changes made in one app reflects to all other userapps? Adding/removing radiochannels, privacy and datagathering settings should be specific to each user not same on all.
As i said, this system is so half finished and poorly designed that i belive sonos is francly .****.
On the positiv side, sonos is well designed visualy and sounds good, very bad the quality is not maintained on the software s
If you don't like the way Sonos works sell it and move on? Why insult those who like the way it works and the whole design, which is constantly evolving to cater for the changing way people are listening to music. As soon as you resort to insulting those you don't agree with you have just lost the debate.
Expletives with prior punctuation to fool the profanity filter just childish too.
Funny how you don't seem to grasp the philosophy and functionality of Sonos, and then blame others that they don't, meanwhile accusing Sonos of doing a bad job.
Sonos is a multiroom system designed for multiple users jointly in a home. As such, the system belongs to the home in a communal sense, not to a single user. I trust that the implementations by Denon, Bose and Bluesound work in a very similar way. Google's smarthome uses the same premise; a user that is "invited" into the home can see and manipulate everything in it. I'm pretty sure that all of these companies will have GDPR covered one way or another. But of course your view on such features is right and all of these multi-billion dollar companies are wrong.
By the way, as far as I know, GDPR is about what companies do with your data. I doubt GDPR applies when you are voluntarily adding your Spotify account to a system that will show your playlists to other users - I would think that is all very well possible, without Sonos or Spotify ever violating their GDPR obligations. If I add a Nest camera to my Google Home, and also grant my wife access to that system, do I then have the right to complain that she can see the footage from "my" camera, when that is the whole point of the system?
All in all, given your criticisms, it sounds that Sonos apparently is not for you, and also you didn't really research how the system works before you bought it. You then chose to vent your anger about that here. You're not the first and you will not be the last, but it doesn't make you right and everyone else, including Sonos, wrong.
If you want to use a speaker without anyone seeing your data, wire one to your phone
