Question about HP DeskJet 5652 InkJet Printer
I've been trying to find the print head cleaning utility, and well.. i can't find it.. anyone can help me? i would like to try running it first before soaking my print head in alcohol.. it's blocked i guess..
Posted by linaclunk on
I have the same problem.. but my printer is not hooked up to a PC ..its the printer for a Tecan Sunrise microplate reader.. anyone know how to activate the head cleaning function through the actual printer
I cannot remember if the tools menu is embedded in the properties of the printer driver. The previous poster I believe is correct. If it does not appear, go to start, run, all programs, then select the HP or Hewlett Packard section and look for an HP Toolbox or similar utility that will have options for cleaning/aligning/testing the printer..
Posted on Feb 25, 2008
The best way for you to do is go to control panel and click on printers... if your printer is installed in your computer it'll appear after you click on the printers... then right click or double click your printer model icon.... your cleaning utility will appear on your screen after....

Go to "Printers and Faxes" in the control panel, right click on the correct printer, select "printing preferences," then "features," then "printer services." A window will open and choose "clean the print catridges." You may clean it several times if need be.

Use the printer's utility program to self-clean the printer.
This process may need to be repeated as many as 5 to 10 times. Often this will
resolve the problem.
Turn the printer off, preferably overnight, if the self-cleaning
utility has not worked. The ink may need to soften before the self-cleaning
utility will be successful. Turn the printer on and try the self-cleaning
utility again several times.

example, are usually in the printer. Many other brands place the print head in

10 drops of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) down the ink receptacle area.
This is the hole where the ink flows into the head from the cartridge. Run a

WAFA Media Releases
23rd October 2014 The WA Government logging agency, the Forest Products Commission (FPC), has submitted false and misleading information and gained an environmental tick of approval from the world's leading timber certifying body, the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), environment groups said today. The WA Forest Alliance (WAFA) expressed shock and dismay that FSC's high standards have been ignored.
Alarming new Birdlife Australia figures released today confirm that Carnaby's Cockatoos on the Perth-Peel Coastal Plain are on a trajectory to be extinct within the next 20 – 30 years. The Great Cocky Count has included a 5-year trend analysis for the first time since it began, and it shows that the birds have been declining by 15% every year since 2010. Conservation groups have called for significant new wildlife protection measures including a halt to any further logging or land clearing in areas of cockatoo habitat following the release of the figures.
Australian environment groups have petitioned the UN Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity concerning the Australian government's failure to act consistently with its international obligations. The groups include the Australian Conservation Foundation, Green Institute, WAFA and Lawyers for Forests and the Petition includes submissions by leading scientists including Professor David Lindenmayer.

Diana Ross – Ross
Released: 1983
Label: RCA Records
Front cover: This is a recent acquisition (this was purchased sealed and scanned the night I received it). It's clearly been sealed for a long time as it has some minor scratches that got through the cellophane. Still, it's in great shape and cloning took care of the parts that weren't. This may very well be her best album cover.
Sleeve-front: The sleeve has been in its jacket for a very long time and it shows. The wrinkling was hard to get rid of and you can't replace the color without destroying the integrity of the text. I did the best I could.
Sleeve-back: Same thing here. Much wrinkling here and I'm not sure why. A lot of it was actually taken care of in the scanning stage. I grabbed three sheets of card stock and put them in the sleeve to smooth out the problem areas. Once scanned, it looked far better but there was still some wrinkling remaining. Again, I did what I could as color replacement was impossible.
Back cover: As you can see, the red chosen on everything is very intense and it practically washes out the release number on the bottom-left side. I didn't alter it as that's the way it really looks. There are two very interesting things to note here: "Ross" is a trademark of hers and she appears to own the copyright on this album. It has recently (finally!) been re-released on Funky Town Grooves so it appears that re-release was hers to negotiate.
Promo sticker: This sticker is flawless. Just scanned and uploaded. I also arbitrarily color-matched the background.
Labels: How she got away without using the record company logo is a mystery. These are both in great shape so no problem scanning, removing spindle hole, and uploading.

Investigation of Boeing Grows Wider
Government Contract Probe Spreads to Army Program Valued at $100 Billion
A federal criminal investigation of Boeing Co.'s dealings with the Air Force is branching out to include aspects of a $100 billion program it is overseeing for the Army, according to people familiar with the matter, threatening to complicate and perhaps prolong the company's already difficult legal problems.
The moves are preliminary, prosecutors haven't alleged any improprieties and it isn't clear where this new avenue of inquiry will lead, these people said. Still, the criminal inquiry is likely to fuel Pentagon and congressional...

"I think it not only means that e-books are entering the mass adoption phase, but also that the price-discrimination model that publishers have used for decades may be on its way out," says McArdle. "There's no significant benefit to buying most disposable mass-market books in hardcover; people do it because they don't want to wait for the paperback."

The Green Dragon Waterfall is located in Chiayi County, Fanlu Township, Taiwan. You can find this place right off highway 3 which makes it fast and easy to access( we made the mistake of following Google Maps which took us down slow side roads). You can scooter or walk down the small road/path by the terrifying dogs down to the river. You will see a bamboo bridge, walk over the canyon you are there- easy!
The canyon is ideal for jumping; there are multiple heights to jump off from 10ft to 30ft. The water is quite deep in most places but varies in areas and worth scouting out before hand. There is a large waterfall downstream that is not far away: we actually forgot to check the waterfall out, you can easily spend all your time at the canyon. This place is great to camp at and you'll most likely be the only people there. Finding a flat spot to set up tent can be a challenge, but it's a small inconvenience. This place is an awesome weekend getaway. Check it out!

2011 Audi A8 hybrid conceptThe rush is on for all the big German flagships to go hybrid.
[ Music ] ^M00:00:06 >> Now, if you haven't noticed, all the German guys are hybrid-izing their big, flagship sedans. The 7 series, the S class, the A8 now all going to a hybrid version, at least available. This is the newest one. This is a near-production concept from Audi. The idea is to hook up a little, tiny 2-liter turbo direct injection gas engine. Yes, a 4-cylinder in an 8 series. Hooked up, of course, to electric motors and a lithium-ion battery. So they're looking at the next generation of battery packs. The end result is 245 horsepower, 350-something foot-pounds of torque. Now, that is a 8 class, in terms of those numbers. Goes out through a new 8-speed Tiptronic transmission and gets about 38 miles per gallon equivalent. Well, it's not real green, but the folks in the high net worth community don't wanna go so green as to drive a truly efficient car; they just wanna be better than they used to be. So this fills the bill. Now, those lithium-ion batteries live back here in the trunk; at least on this concept. They'll probably be a little more submerged and hidden on a real car. But they're accountable to the electric motors for 45 of the horsepower and 155 of the foot-pounds of torque. Significant contribution to help out that little 4-banger. Zero to 60 in 7.6 is kind of the bottom line. Keeps you from getting left at a stop light by the guy in the S class or the 7 series. It can go up to 40-some-odd miles per hour electric only. It's a full hybrid -- not a mild hybrid system, which again, that's a little more tech forward. But notice it's not a range extender. That's a little too goofy for this crowd. It's a hybrid, straight up. Other technologies on this car that are very cool are coming into the 8s generally. We've got the navigation system with the live Google integration which, among other things, lets the nav system tell the powertrain, "We've got a steep grade coming up; you might wanna downshift" or rev up now. Interesting mash-up of the software side and the hardware side. In the back, we've got some very generous rear-seat entertainment screens, and we've shown you before the handwriting recognition pad that lets you draw on this black pad to enter things like destinaton names. ^M00:02:12 [ Music ]

A break-in at a Pendle charity has left volunteer members exasperated and fuming at the same time.
Pendle Dogs in Need was broken into overnight and the damage, estimated at hundreds of pounds, was discovered this morning.
According to the charity's Facebook page, its Colne premises were "totally trashed" and it is not known at this stage what has been stolen.
A volunteer wrote on the group's Facebook page: "Looking through the window, it's obvious what we are, a small local volunteer charity that struggle to make ends meet, a charity run by people who don't take a penny from the money for the dogs, people that work tirelessly for nothing but the happiness of seeing once unwanted dogs loved in forever homes.
"Yet you seem to think it's fine to just smash our door to pieces and to help yourself to what ever you wanted!
"I'd like to meet you and take you with me to the dog pound to meet the dogs on death row that this month we may not be able to help due to some vile person taking our funds and leaving us with a huge repair bill.
"But that wouldn't affect you would it? You are happy now, you have what you wanted and it looks like you have got away with it!"

Getting Creative in Combating Rising Specialty Drug Costs
High cost drugs are the most significant cost driver in healthcare today.

Fighting Pharmacy Inflation
There is an inherent battle between employers and their pharmacy benefit managers.

This Quinoa Avocado chocolate fudge healthy cake is always popular with everyone. If you're cooking it for a sceptic just call it chocolate fudge cake, they may guess it is gluten free as its heavier than a traditional cake but they are unlikely to guess it's bursting with nutrition and good for you. It's moist and deliciously stodgy so a small slice is very filling. Suitable for gluten-free, refined sugar-free, vegan, plant-based, paleo and general healthy diets.
This recipe has been in development for a while. I've been working on it since making quinoa pizza bases and chocolate avocado mousse and this is a hybrid of them together. What can be better than protein and fibre rich quinoa and heart-healthy avocado fats. No oil, flour, gluten, stabilisers, eggs or butter in sight. The end cake is just under half raw, so great if you are trying to eat a diet high in raw foods.
Quinoa Avocado Chocolate Fudge Cake Recipe
- Total time: 1h 20m
- Yield: 8 servings
- Calories: 390 cal
For the quinoa chocolate cake
- 1½ cups / 250g Quinoa
- 2 cups / 450ml Water
- 1 cup / 175g Dates, pitted
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 4 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp Chia seeds
- a pinch of Salt
- optional, 2-4 tbsp Sweetener such as Maple or Coconut syrup for a sweeter cake
For the avocado chocolate icing
- 2 Avocados
- 4-6 tbsp Sweetener such as Maple or Coconut syrup
- 2 tbsp Coconut oil or Butter, you can leave out if you prefer but the icing won't set as firm
- 4 tbsp Cacao/Cocoa powder
Fruit for decoration, any bright berries are good – raspberries, inca or strawberries.
- Soak the quinoa for at least 15 mins, then drain. Soaking for an hour or overnight is preferable.
- Add everything else for the batter into the blender and blend until smooth.
- Split into two lined 6″ pans and bake for 35-45 mins at 180 C / 350 F.
- You can tell when it's cooked when a knife comes out clean.
- Leave to cool for 15m before taking out of the pan.
- Blend all of the icing ingredients together.
- Ice the top of one cake, place the other cake on then ice the top and sides.
- Decorate with berries, store in the fridge and enjoy within 3 days.

You can grease your pan with some coconut oil if you prefer and it will give a sharper edge. As I'm filming this recipe I want to guarantee it will come out of the pan easily so use parchment paper – the rough edges don't matter so much as it's being iced. To make this a double chocolate cake add a handful of chocolate chunks to the cake batter before baking. As this recipe uses dates as the sweetener for the base they can vary in sweetness significantly. I used very sweet fudgy dates so If you use less sweet dates or want a sweeter cake then add some maple or other syrup to the cake bases. Try a tiny bit of the cake before icing and if it's too bitter for your taste add some extra sweetener to the icing or brush on top.
As the cake is gluten-free without any stabilisers it will only get a small lift in the oven. It is a dense but moist and delicious cake. One slice contains a huge amount of nutrition from the quinoa, avocados, dates, cocoa and chia. Soaking the quinoa is needed to make the seed easier for the body to absorb and easier to blend. When you soak it the seeds they start to grow and it's said the vitamins and minerals are more bio-available.
When blending you will probably want to do it in two batches if you have a small blender. The quinoa and dates are hard so you don't want to be putting too much stress on your blender as it may cause damage. Also even if you are using pitted dates do still check that no stones are left in as even just a fragment can ruin the whole cake. A 600w small jug type blender is powerful enough to make this.

Nationalism represents the freedom for a particular ethnic or cultural group to be and promote who and what they are. Americans, particular those on the left, play revisionist history when calling out so called white nationalists for expressing their need for separation. This country's history is rife with "white nationalism" where Europeans cleared out indigenous occupants they found on the land and appropriated its natural resources in order to fuel Euro America's expansion to the Pacific and beyond.
I sense Euro Americans have either an intellectual aversion to white nationalism or an indifference. I believe it is more indifference because given their dominant cultural status in the United States, it is a waste of time pondering on the alleged wrongs their ancestors carried out against indigenous tribes as well as against African tribes that they traded for and brought to the United States.
If Euro Americans believed that non-Europeans were their brothers and sisters under the eyes of God, then the mass atrocities Europeans carried out against indigenous American tribes and African tribes would never have happened. The atrocities were simple to carry out because Europeans convinced themselves that because of their technology, language, religion, skin color, and view of life, that they were better thus had the authority to carry out violence against these peoples.
The United States is simply Europe extended.
But given the brief argument I provided above, why then would I support nationalism? Didn't I just make an argument about how unacceptable it is? The answer is no, I didn't. European campaigns to conquer and occupy the North and South American continents were examples of human nature on steroids. Africans, Asians, and Europeans have varied histories of occupation and conquest. Europeans took their model of conquest and and nation building and went global. Indigenous American and African tribes are understandably upset that they lost tens of or even hundreds of millions of lives over a almost four century period of war, rape, and slavery, but in the end, just because these tribes were not capable of warding off the onslaught doesn't mean that Europeans owe an apology. Rather, it means that these groups need to ask themselves what was it about self preservation that they did not understand then and today how best do we go about correcting it.
Progressives will respond that to address these past wrongs either all peoples should start to live as one, to put aside ethnic differences, to be human first or pay the descendants of the victims some form of reparations. Neither approach will work.
First, the "we are all human" approach invites subjecting disadvantaged groups to a European standard. If we are all one people, then efficiency calls for a clear standard to follow and I don't see a group of European descendants who control America's wealth subjecting themselves to the socio-economic-political standards of the African Diaspora.
Nor will reparations work. First, Euro Americans will push back on the idea going as far as a tax revolt, something the United States could not afford. Even if reparations were approved, what would be the formula for doling out monies? What would be the criteria? Could Barack Obama collect just based on skin color even though there is no proof that any member of his lineage was a slave?
And what would the reparations be used for? Members of the African Diaspora have a higher propensity to consumer relative to Euro Americans. While there will be a huge spike in the United States' gross domestic product, I don't see any leadership calling for wealth building, something the African sorely needs.
If the African Diaspora is to achieve any real viability on the North American continent, it will have to embark on a fifty year plan that includes the creation and implementation of tribal values, separate and distinct from the dominant culture. The dominant culture's values have not served the African Diaspora in America well. Members of the African Diaspora rank at the bottom of every major socio-economic indicator. Members of the African Diaspora will have to accumulate natural resources, build an economy around those resources, and use broadband and the internet to engage in trade not only with other Diaspora members in North America but across the pond as well.
Nationalism should not be looked at as a hate agenda. That is an argument that nation-state promoters make, and one that I will address later this week. What nationalism does is ensure your survivability and uniqueness. Those who allegedly seek a diverse world within which to live need to come to terms with this reality.

Date of birth: 20th March 1980
Place of residence: Tallinn, Estonia
Favourite flower:
Ahti Lyra is a highly talented Estonian florist from the land of twilight, snowstorms and Northern lights. He is a fresh breeze with his glacially sharp floral designs, unafraid of contrast and clear lines. He stands for modern creative shapes inspired by his background as a cold Nordic guy with a certain sense of spirituality. For the art-based design work, he tries to keep a distance from the wool-and-wire trend. For him, art is feelings that have been transformed into thoughts, and thoughts transformed into his works. For him, inspiration is everywhere – for example, in old books, in churches or historic graveyards, on trips around the world or simply when he drives through the beautiful Estonian countryside. He is a dedicated and hard-working florist who always aspires higher.

Crossing The Bridge Into I.T.
"Don't burn any bridges" is a sage bit of advice many of us have heard – if not given. Bottom line, whether business, social or personal, we should always endeavor to exit any situation with integrity and in a manner in which our re-appearance would be welcomed. As the adage goes, 'you never know if or when you might need to travel across that bridge again'. Obviously, this is advice Alex Maldonado incorporated as a guiding principle – which paid off in spades at the beginning of this new year!
Several years ago, Alex worked for Lucent (now known as Nokia). He kept in touch with former colleagues and was encouraged to apply for a role with the company shortly after completing his program with MyComputerCareer in early 2017. Alex was totally chuffed to share that he had recently acquired the role of Project Manager (IT Sales) with Nokia! This is a lower six figure ($52.50) salary range position – but we aren't judging! Alex says that he can envisage "staying put and building a career" with Nokia.
Huge congratulations to Alex as we wish him much success in his new role!

Even though I've just started on this series it can be difficult to pick illustrations that are not only applicable but also within reason. This next article will be drawn not just from informative imagination but from experience.
Let's say that somebody has unabashedly decided to ignore my warning about gossip (don't worry, I'll forgive them). In fact it's not just one but two people firing comments about an issue over a friend. You unhappily are caught in crossfire as you pass by. I have nothing against people with the names Sarah and Kim, but for the illustration's sake we'll use these ones.
Sarah: "Can you believe that…broke up with her boyfriend?"
Kim: "No way! What is she going to do with the baby?"
Sarah: "Do you think she of all people is going to let her parents know? They'll flip!"
Kim: "Totally, I mean with that kind of problem she should have an abortion really soon."
Sarah: "She's such a moron! If she handled things better this might not have happened."
Kim: "I mean, what if she actually…"
As you exit the premises you hear the two of them giggling. Now I have not heard conversation like this in the same context, but in some ways it was very similar and just as repugnant. But you're probably thinking, "Yea, I've heard this one before. Beware of Lady Folly. Get the point over with Jonathan." Ha!
Actually this isn't a story about Sarah and Kim. Replace these two with masculine or one masculine and feminine name of your preference (say…John and Ryan) and read the script over again. Does it seem even more ugly than the original? Why or why not? And has anyone ever heard a guy's giggle? I have.
I'll explain why this may be more repulsive than a Sarah/Kim incident and then we'll discuss why you should do absolutely nothing. Zip, nada, nine. Let's get started.
First, the facts.
I don't care what your religious view point is on the matter, but to Christians the man is always the leader. Whether it is in the household or the church pulpit, men take the role of the higher authority. God created man first. God created a woman from a man. "Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, His body, and is Himself its Savior (Eph. 5:22-23)." Am I sexist? No. Do men and women have equal rights? Yes, but men are the head. There are some distinctions between rights and leadership. We are to submit, "to one another out of reverence for Christ (Eph. 5:21)." What is my point? John and Ryan are the epitome of callousness. They have taken for granted what everyone except a few psychopath feminists knows to be true. It is contemptible for a man young or old to laugh at abortion and at the one responsible for it; ultimately the woman. I'll reiterate my point with some statistics.
How much influence do you think males have in an abortion decision? This can be the father, grandfather, husband, boyfriend, etc. Statistics from polls as far back as 1987-1988 showed that 14.1% of women were encouraged (or threatened) to have an abortion by a family member(s) or partner of the opposite sex. That number rose to as much as 40% in 2003 and is currently hanging (to the disappointment of some) at about 39-43% (Although some sources claim higher). I say they're disappointed because, whoever they are, they prefer more men to take a stand with the pro-abortion feminists. To me, numbers haven't dropped significantly enough. Think about it. 40% of millions of abortions have been induced by men who care nothing for God's image. In spite of that, whether they know it or not, John and Ryan can only jeer.
Now here might be the hard part. Whether it is Sarah and Kim or John and Ryan, have nothing to do with this discussion. Many will feel obligated to butt in (I know I would), but you may not know the subject of the discussion, nor have you heard the entirety of it. Perhaps you misheard. And even if somehow you did hear the whole discussion, do you think that people with minds as focused on mischief as these will listen to your well intentioned impromptu arguments? Not likely. Only God can change the heart.
I said before that you should do nothing, but the one thing you should do is pray. Pray for the victim of the conversation. Pray for the gossipers behaving badly. Pray that the Lord will pour out His saving grace like a waterfall on every one of these people. Don't be surprised if you see results.

A Place to Call Home: The Crisis in Housing for the Poor. Buffalo, New York.
Leonard, Paul A.
New data issued by the U.S. Bureau of the Census and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) show that most poor households in the Buffalo (New York) metropolitan area pay extremely large portions of their limited incomes for housing costs. Housing is considered affordable for a low-income household if it consumes no more than 30 percent of the household's income. Yet, nine out of every 10 poor renters and nearly half of all poor homeowners in Buffalo paid more than 30 percent of income for housing in 1984. The problems of finding affordable housing faced by the poor worsened appreciably from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s in contrast to the housing burdens of more affluent households in the area. The poor were also more likely to live in substandard housing. The increase in the shortage of low-rent housing since 1976 can be attributed primarily to large declines in household incomes and modest increases in housing costs, particularly for black renters. Government assistance through subsidized housing programs is not available for most poor households, and benefit levels for cash assistance programs have declined sharply in New York State in recent years. Most national analyses forecast that the gap between the number of low-income households and the number of units affordable by these households will grow substantially larger in the years ahead. Statistical data are included on three tables and 13 graphs. An explanation of the market-basket standard of affordability used by HUD is appended. (FMW)

Transferring information from one system to another can be tricky. This HOWTO provides information on ensuring data is saved in the correct format, how to run test imports, understanding the options when importing, and reading import status information.
If this process feels overwhelming, please email email@example.com. Our Services Team can also provide custom imports. During your trial, we offer a free data import. If you continue to need help, our Services Team can provide custom data work - handling large scale migrations, cleanup, and deduping. Pricing for custom data work may be subject to an initial scoping and is available upon request.

Save data from Excel to a CSV
If you need to make an changes to your data, open it in Excel. Remember the following:
- Each sheet of a workbook needs to be saved as a separate CSV.
- Replace formulas with exact values.
- Remove colors, flags, comments, or conditional formatting (Note: Commas should be deleted from your CSV, with the exception of the "tag_list" field. A list of tags should be separated by commas).
- Hard returns must be removed from all fields.
Once you complete any formatting changes needed, save the file as a CSV.
Go to File > Save As and change the file type to be saved as Comma separate values (CSV).
Accept the warning that not all Excel features are supported by the current file type.
A CSV is a text-only file with a comma separating each field. Each record will be on its own line. If you open a CSV in Excel, you will need to repeat this process to save the content as a new CSV file.
Clean a CSV file
Saving an Excel file may save hidden characters and other characters the importer won't understand. Here is an easy way to clean a CSV file:
- Open the CSV file in a text editor.
- Select the whole file and copy it.
- Open a new text file.
- Paste the CSV data into the new file.
- Save the new file.
- Import the new CSV file.
Confirm the use of UTF-8 characters
UTF-8 is the largest standard set of characters available. It includes most characters in all languages. By default, most computers save CSV files using UTF-8 characters for plain text encoding.
On a Mac, plain text encoding only needs to be set once. Once the character encoding is set, it will stay set until it is changed.
- Open the CSV in TextEdit.
- Open the text editor preferences: The plain text encoding should be set to UTF-8 for both opening files and for saving files.
- Re-save the file using a new name.
On a Windows computer, plain text encoding must be set for each file.
- Open the CSV file in Notepad.
- Click Save As.
- In the Save As screen, change the preferences for the file so the character set is UTF-8.
- Save the CSV using a new file name.
Take a snapshot
If you already have data in your nation, take a snapshot before starting an import. The snapshot must finish before you begin the import.
Begin with a test file
Doing a test import will help ensure clean imports. This four-step process limits the need to re-import files.
- Create a test file from the original file.
- Import the test file and check for errors.
- Fix the errors.
- Repeat steps 1-3 to check for new errors.
If you have multiple files to import, we recommend completing this process for each file.
Create a test file: select records at random, change names, save as an Excel file and a CSV file
Select test records at random. There is a temptation to take the first records. The first few records are reviewed every time the file is opened. If there were obvious errors, they would have been fixed. Records from the middle of the file tend to be a better indication of the state of the data.
After copying the random data, replace real names with obviously fake ones. Creating fake names decreases the chances that existing records will be updated instead of adding new records. Additionally, this makes it easier to see if the records have been deleted after the test import.
Save the test information as both an Excel file and as a CSV file.
Import test file and check for errors
Import the file using the correct importer based on the type of information included in the file. Check for errors.
If errors are found, you'll be able to download a CSV. Download the error CSV file and open it in Excel. The file will only contain the first 2 megabytes of errors. The last field in each record will contain the error logged.
Common errors seen include:
Email address does not look like an email address. Indicates that either the wrong field was mapped to the email field or the email address was malformed. Common malformations include spaces or special characters in the email address, email addresses without a period or an @ sign, and email addresses without the final extension.
Malformed CSV - Illegal quoting. Indicates that the record has unexpectedly ended during import. Common causes are records containing hard returns (line breaks) and/or quoted content. In both of these cases, the file should be checked for fields that don't show where you expect them. For example, a single record that continues across more than one row.
Twitter is not a number. Indicates that the Twitter ID contains letters or special characters. This could be a field mapping problem - perhaps the Twitter ID field and the Twitter login field were swapped.
Fax number is too long (maximum is 30 characters). Indicates either a field mapping problem or bad data.
Fix the errors
Use the errors from the test file import as a roadmap to find and fix errors in the real file. Save a new copy of the file.
Import a new test file
First, delete records imported during the initial test import. Then repeat the above process and import a new random set of test records.
If no errors are logged in the second test import, delete the test records from the nation and begin importing the full file. Otherwise, continue fixing errors and repeating the process until no errors are logged.
Remember to delete all test data from the nation before doing an import of the complete data set.
Understand import options
Step 1: Mapping fields
Mapping fields means telling your nation what type of data can be found in each field. You must map to fields available for import. All fields cannot be imported at all times. There are seven importers available and a complete list of fields available for import.
In the above example, I mapped fields, but missed a step. Every time fields are mapped, the system will validate the first row of data to confirm it looks correct. Since the first row in this example is a header row, a validation error is displayed. I will be unable to import the file until this error is fixed.
Checking the box next to "don't import" will tell the system the first row contains header information and the second row of data will be validated. After checking the box, the following displays:
Step 2: Customize your import
The second step is defining global settings for the import. Seven options appear on one-time imports. Fewer choices are included in other imports.
1. Decide whether to overwrite existing signup data. The unique ID imported with a record could connect it to an existing profile in your nation. This checkbox is part of the process of determining whether existing data is overwritten.
2. Support status: Profiles always have a support status, which is supporter, non-supporter, or prospect.
If the records being imported are people who have opted into communication, select supporters / non-supporters. Any new profile created with an email address, mobile number, Facebook username/ID, or Twitter login/ID will be labeled a supporter. Other profiles will be created as non-supporters.
If the records being imported are people who have not opted into communication, select prospects. When prospects is selected, all profiles created will be labeled prospects, including records with email address, mobile number, Facebook username/ID, or Twitter login/ID.
In certain circumstances, information being imported may over-ride the above rules. Please see how support status is determined for more information.
3. Activity stream: Decide whether to show that each profile was added in the activity stream in the Dashboard section and on the person's profile. Sometimes, this can be useful. Other times, it is just clutter.
4. Add tags to each person: If a tag or tags should be added to every record imported, include it in this text box. Tags can have spaces. Including a comma separates one tag from another tag. Tags included in this text box will be appended to the tag list for each person added / updated by the import.
5. Add everyone to a list: This dropdown menu allows you to add every profile added / updated by the import to a list. The list must exist before it can be selected from this dropdown menu.
6. Bypass webhooks: If you check this box, no signal will be sent to the API regarding the import. Checking the box will prevent external apps / API-based integrations from updating based on the import.
7. Start import button: Until fields are mapped, you will not be able to press this button. Fields must be mapped and a unique identifier must exist before the file can be imported.
Once you click the Start import button, the file is loaded into the import queue. A nation can import one file at a time.
Use settings again
Once an import starts, its field mapping is saved and can be re-used. When you upload a new file, check the box next to "Use settings from a previous import." A dropdown box will appear.
In the dropdown box, select a previously imported file.
Once a file is selected, the fields will be mapped. This assumes that the file being imported has the exact same layout as the previous import. You can adjust any discrepancies in field mapping between the current and previous imports.
The options selected in the "Customize your import" section will also be filled in based on the previous import.
Reusing settings is available for one-time, voter, vote history, donation, and membership imports. Each type of import saves settings from previous imports. The mapping cannot be shared between different types of import, e.g. you cannot use a previous donation import's settings in a membership import.
Status of imports
After clicking the Start import button, a file is added to the import queue. The status displayed with that file will be "Queued for importing, but not started yet. Refresh to check."
Once an import starts, the status will change to "importing" or "working." Information available includes:
- Completion percentage for an in-progress import.
- Number of records processed.
- Total number of records to process.
- Estimated time until the import finishes.
If the estimated time to complete the import seems unusually long, email email@example.com. The file may be unusually large and we may be able to help speed up the process.
Once an import finishes, the status will look like this:
Source: Click on the name and a copy of the imported CSV will download to your computer.
Size: The size of the imported file.
Added: Number of records added by the import. Clicking on the number takes you to a filter of the records created by the import.
Updated: Number of records updated by the import.
Errors: Number of errors detected in the import. The CSV error file will only contain the first 2 megabytes of errors. The last field in each record will contain the error logged.
Time spent: Amount of time spent importing the file.
Status: When the import finished in relative time, or the current status of a queued / working import.
Imported addresses can take 2-6 hours to geocode. This aspect of the import status can be reviewed in Settings > Database > Geocoding services.

I'm sitting here watching the emails and posts come in attacking my support for the casino initiative ( issue #6 ). It's interesting because attacks are coming from the right and the left.
I've had long discussions with people on both sides of the issue in an attempt to pinpoint the specific reasons each side is opposing it.
Everyone seems dead set against this specific bill (just like they were with the last one) but their reasons, with all due respect, all seem like a lot of bullshit to me.
Funny thing though: no one seems to be against gambling or casinos in Ohio, they just seem to be against this bill.
Strange, right?
Everyone seems to agree that Ohio should allow some kind of gambling but no one can agree on the details.
As a result, every couple of years we all gang up on the current proposal because one or two details don't fit our vision of the perfect solution.
I plan to address each side in different posts, but here is my short answer to everyone on both sides:
Get over yourselves.
Democrats are against it because it hurts the poor too much. Boo hoo. Republicans are against it because they are worried how it will play out with religious voters. Blah!
For fuck's sake, even the pro-business, small-government Buckeye Institute is publishing articles about how this bill DOESN'T RAISE TAXES ENOUGH on the casino business!
Enough with the lame-ass excuses already.
You are all acting like a bunch of libertarians: supporting some ideal yet ridiculously unattainable goal that you know will never, ever, ever happen.
Politics is about compromises, people; and success is achieved by getting movement in the right direction. If you agree that Ohio should allow gambling, then get put on your damn compromise hat and stop acting like a spoiled little kid.
You don't have to publicly support this bill. But you should seriously consider voting for it.
At the very least, stop attacking it with your half-assed arguments and your silly excuses.
I don't want casinos, I don't like casinos and I don't like gambling. I have a vote and I will be using it. That's how I feel – it's how I'm voting. I'm very glad you have a vote too. We just disagree on this. There it is.
And I respect that position, Jill.
If you are opposed to gambling in any form, then you have no reason to support this bill.
Two reasons for my no vote:
1. I don't trust the mechanism funneling money to the counties. Don't sell me a bill of goods just to ensconce gambling in the state constitution.
2. I've consistently voted against initiatives I don't believe rise to the level of a constitutional amendment. I believe those issues should only protect rights or spell out a requirement of the state government. In this case, allowing a company to monopolize gambling in Ohio doesn't fit the bill.
I don't have a problem with gambling, either socially or religiously. I've always thought both arguments were weak.
I do have a problem with Constitutionally mandated, potentially tax-free and certainly legal-free monopolies. Call me crazy, but I expect laws (and taxes) to apply to everyone–particularly private corporations.
lame post. totally lame.
kinda like how you're voting for the bill because you don't want to have to drive 3 hours to play poker.
now that's lame.
I half agree with you, but I'm opposing Issue 6 because it is meant to benefit one particular business owner, and to enshrine that benefit in the Constitution.
Having said that, when I laid out my Issue endorsements I said that it's time for a compromise. We need to vote on and pass a casino proposal that comes out of debate in the legislature, rather than from a casino owner.
Here is my "bullshit excuse"
I dont really care that much, though I will vote against it. But I wouldnt care that much if it passed.
Ohioans have voted many times against casinos. The choice has been made again and again, most recently in 2006. It will end up the same this time. Enough is enough.
Nifty Lawrence
People worried about a tribe opening up a tax-free casino on federal land in Ohio if Issue 6 passes are either deliberately misrepresenting the issue or are ignorant regarding the issue itself.
There isn't a single tribe eligible to establish a casino in tribal land in Ohio & there won't be. None. Zero.
And I find it a tad ironic how many Strickland supporters didn't say a word when he expanded the lottery & later added Keno to bars, but now the sky will fall if a casino is opened in Ohio.
And of course the Catholic church is against it. They know how a casino would ruin their bingo nights & church festivals across NE Ohio.
Nifty Lawrence
The reason for having this issue as a constitutional amendment & not via the legislature is because the Ohio General Assembly doesn't have the authority to amend the state constitution.
I'll support Issue 6 when they reinstate Pete Rose, but not until…

Russian Police Round up LGBT Activists
Russian police have detained LGBT activists attempting to raise awareness about the persecution of gay men in Chechnya. The demonstration was held during a May Day march in St Petersburg, with a group of around 10 protesters arrested near the Anichkov Bridge in the centre of Russia's second city. Images shared on Twitter showed activists lying on the road pretending to be dead, with fake blood smeared across their faces and covered with rainbow and Chechen flags. Officers in riot gear were shown arresting protesters and dragging them to a police van.

Jonathan Vilma: Saints LB Appeals 1-Year Suspension for NFL Bounty ScandalMay 7, 2012
Jonathan Vilma of the New Orleans Saints wants to play this upcoming season, so he has officially appealed the suspension that Roger Goodell and the NFL handed him a week ago.
Adam Schefter of ESPN tweeted this breaking news, and Vilma's intentions come as no surprise.
Saints LB Jonathan Vilma officially has appealed his year-long suspension.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) May 7, 2012
Update: May 7 at 12:30 p.m. ET
Schefter tweeted that all four suspended players have officially appealed.
Appeals for the other three suspended players -- Will Smith, Scott Fujita, Anthony Hargrove -- are officially filed to Roger Goodell.— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) May 7, 2012
Larry Holder covers the Saints for CBS Sports, and he tweeted what Vilma's counsel sent to the NFL for the appeal. It's an incredibly long post, requesting that the NFL provide them with certain information, 17 bullet points to be exact.
Here are a couple that stood out to me:
1. All documents and communications evidencing a "pay-for-performance/bounty" program, including, but not limited to, any ledger, notebook, record or record book, payment slip, note or entry of any sort, or evidencing that no such "pay-for- performance/bounty" program existed and/or involved Mr. Vilma;
16. The names and identification of all witnesses the NFL plans to present at Mr. Vilma's Appeal Hearing.
The entire post illustrates more of what Vilma's counsel wants from the NFL, basically asking for the evidence to support its reasoning for suspending the linebacker for the entire year.
Obviously, no healthy player wants to sit out for an entire year and not get paid, but it remains a mystery if Vilma has any shot at winning his appeal.
Hopefully, Vilma is trying to win this appeal to be out on the field and not just for the sake of making a paycheck.
Several players around the league, including Vilma, voiced their displeasure about the suspension, but at the end of the day, the Saints linebacker has to live with what the commissioner decides.
Vilma wasn't the only player suspended, but he received the harshest punishment. Per Jeff Duncan of The Times-Picayune, Vilma said he plans to "fight this injustice," but whether he has any chance of winning is yet to be seen.
The Saints surely hope they're able to have Vilma this year, as he is a dominant presence for their defense. Even if it is just for a few games during the year and offseason workouts, having Vilma around will be a huge help for the team.
Without Vilma and head coach Sean Payton for all of 2012, New Orleans faces a great deal of adversity moving forward. If successful, Vilma's appeal could go a long way in helping the franchise get back on track.

By Elaine Meinel Supkis
On a mountain top near my own mountain is the Grafton Peace Pagoda. The Japanese nun who founded this pagoda walked around the world, praying until she came here and created this beautiful monument with the unstinting labor of many wonderful volunteers.
Everyone poured their hearts into this. Because of the nukes that fell on Japan. Since world peace rests entirely in the hands of the United States whose military spending and weapons dominate the planet yet control very little of it, we and we alone are responsible for creating and protecting all of humanity...from our own rage.
After 9/11, when we had the sympathy of the world we turned it into sympathy for the devil.
We could have led the people on earth in the right direction but instead, the right led America into the wrong direction. Every step we take down our chosen path is bloodier than the one before yet we are compelled like sleepwalkers to move ever forwards. Each day brings news that doesn't surprise me.
Sadly, everything I fretted about and so many of us in the cyber realm warned about, comes true, relentlessly. All the worst imaginings are fulfulled in full. But underlying all this is the odd and frankly insane notion that Americans are "young and naive." This ardent belief of our own infantallity has fatal consequences. For we don't take an adult's responsibilities seriously.
"Live within your means," our parents warned us yet even as our parents live and breathe, they as well as we, all refuse to do that. Collectively and idividually, we all live as if there is no tomorrow. And yet, there is a tomorrow. And we know, in our souls, that we must build and weed the garden and draw the water, day after day, for life is an accumulation of many small, sometimes nearly invisible, actions.
Mother Nature can and has swept aside our works and our lives just as She demonstrated so brutally last December. Even today, typhoons and floods are snatching away the lives and homes of many people and we know these things can and will happen to us, here, too.
This is why the most important thing we can do is live our lives so we are spiritually ready to die, for you take nothing, not even family, with you when you pass the Gates of Death. There is one thing you can take.
Your soul.
And so, by shedding tears of pity upon the millions of dead women, men, children and babies who have died in past wars and will die in future wars, we weed our own gardens of the heart and despite feelings of anger and despair over the direction our country has stumbled, we must hold out hope that we can turn the tide, courage and love, to get everyone to heave our nation into the right direction again.
September 24th we will go to the Capital to show our strength, our energy and our will. We will tell the world and those who think they thwart us, that we are united and we are not to be stopped or ignored, we are the PEOPLE of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.
I will post more about this demonstration as time passes.

Tripadvisor was left with egg on its face today after a journalist revealed he had made a non-existent eatery the top-rated restaurant in London.
The Shed at Dulwich peaked on Tripadvisor's rankings of the best restaurants in London in November, according to Vice writer Oobah Butler.
But the restaurant never existed, and was based on a shed in which Butler lives in a Dulwich back garden.
He said he thought of the idea after being paid by restaurants to leave positive reviews on their TripAdvisor profiles despite never having eaten there.
"This convinced me that TripAdvisor was a false reality – that the meals never took place; that the reviews were all written by other people like me," he wrote.
Excited would-be diners began inundating Butler's fictitious restaurant with booking requests.
He was even approached by a PR company hoping to win the contract to promote the hip restaurant.
Eventually Butler hosted an opening night at the so-called restaurant, featuring food from Iceland to a mix of genuine punters and actors.
Finally, the page was deleted, but kept as an archived version.
When contacted by City A.M., a spokesperson for TripAdvisor said: "Generally, the only people who create fake restaurant listings are journalists in misguided attempts to test us. As there is no incentive for anyone in the real world to create a fake restaurant it is not a problem we experience with our regular community".
Responding to the possibility that fraudulent reviews are left on the site, the company said: "Between our teams, our tools and our community, we believe we have effective checks and balances in place to maintain the integrity of the reviews on TripAdvisor."

The name Nokia resonates with durability and sturdiness. The moment we think or hear the name Nokia we can be sure of its reliability and great features. With their new smartphone Nokia 8, the same is expected to be guaranteed. The release date for this phone is in July 2017. However, the same is yet to be officially announced. The Nokia 8 boots on Android v7.0 (Nougat) operating system. It is a dual SIM phone with supports 4G, 3G and 2G networks of Indian bands. The fingerprint sensor features assure high-security as well.
Design and Display
The Nokia 8 weighs 156 grams whereas its height and width are 153 mm and 74 mm respectively. With a 7.9 mm thickness this piece ends up with a sleek and stylish design. However, one can flaunt this only in one colour as the only variant available in this handset is black colour. The phone comes with a fingerprint sensor at the front which responds quickly. A unique feature of the phone is that it has a heart rate monitor which would help in calculating one's heart rate within seconds. It is also house to other sensors like the light sensor, proximity sensor, accelerometer, compass and gyroscope
The Nokia 8 flaunts a gorilla glass on top and comes with a 5.7-inch IPS LCD display. The screen resolution of this display is 1,400 x 2,560 pixels and pixel density is 515 ppi. The capacitive touchscreen responds well to multi touch and makes multitasking and high end gaming quite smooth, swift and efficient. The screen to body ratio of this device is 78.93%.
Performance and Storage
The phone's performance relies on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 MSM8998 chipset. Under the stylish looks, the phone has two quad-core processors – a 2.45GHz Kryo and a 1.9GHz Kryo which help in driving the system. It is assisted by a 6GB RAM and Adreno 540 graphics engine which assure good graphics and smooth multitasking on the phone.
For storage, the device provides an internal space of 64GB. If that does not suffice, one can make use of the 256GB expandable memory by inserting an external memory card. Such a huge storage space is definitely one of a kind in any smartphone
Camera and Battery
The handset is piled with a 24MP primary camera which captures amazing shots. It is backed with features like autofocus, optical image stabilization and a dual LED CCT flash. It provides aperture at 2.0 F. With ISO control settings and high dynamic range modes for shooting and capturing images one can be sure that the qualities of the captured photographs will be at another level. Even high quality video can be recorded at 3840X2160 megapixels @ 30 fps and 1920X1080 megapixels @ 60 fps.
The device draws its energy from Li-ion 3000 mAH battery. The battery is not user replaceable but this drawback can easily be overlooked over the fact that it provides great battery backup and charges just as quickly.
Network and Connectivity
The SIM size which one can fit in this device is a Micro one for both the SIM slots. The networks supported are 4G, 3G and 2G Indian bands.
For connectivity, the phone offers many options like dual SIM, 4G (supports Indian bands), 3G, 2G, VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11, a/ac/b/g/n 5GHz, Dual antennas, MIMO, WEP, Wi-Fi Direct, Mobile Hotspot, Bluetooth v5.0, GPS with A-GPS, Glonass and NFC. The multimedia option provided is a 3.5 mm audio jack.
The Nokia 8 price in India is not yet announced officially. An expected price range of the device has also not been put out. However, we can be sure that the Nokia 8 will be just another addition in the Nokia series with class performance. It can be marked that Nokia is looking forward to launch back to back mobiles this year. The Nokia 8 is a clear winner in all aspects and would turn out to be a very lucrative choice. With a striking display, a great battery backup, VoLTE, additional sensors, etc. and other such features the phone is definitely a worthy one. With this phone on the cards in the new few months, Nokia lovers are enthused about getting an opportunity to use a Nokia handset yet again.
