Dear All,
I just returned after buying some items of stationery. The amount payable was 653/-. I offered to pay by debit card or credit card - whatever was acceptable to the vendor. Vendor stated that I shall have to pay 2% over and above the bill. On my query as to why, vendor replied that he is being charged 2% by the debit / credit card companies. I insisted on paying through card as I did not have enough cash and that I won't pay extra 2%. I told him that there was a waiver of such charge for six months. He insisted that SBI was charging him 2% on payments received through debit cards.
Anyway, seeing me adamant he agreed to charge the actual bill amount.
Here the story begins.
First he took my card and recorded complete detail of my debit card on the computer and printed the cash memo. I objected to this. He then offered to delete the details from the printed copies!
I again objected to that saying those details still existed on the computer file.
He then told me that he deleted the file (as per his version - though I am not very sure if he actually deleted the card details from the computer).
Now the most interesting part. He inserted the card into the machine and fed the amount which is not visible to us. I entered the pin. And there you are - payment successful!
I got the SMS alert from the Bank. I just wanted to show to him that I had got the SMS alert - thus proving my bonafides.
And then came the horror. The amount charged was 6530/- instead of 653/-.
It could be a genuine mistake. It could well be, in the hands of a dishonest vendor, an intentional fraud.
What if the card details still exist in the computer?
What if cyber crooks hack details of my card as also details of cards of other buyers existing in the computer?
What if Bank SMS alert did not come in time?
What if I had not checked the SMS alert?
What, if after making the payment, I had walked away, had I been a temporary visitor in the station?
I had always maintained that the Banks, Paytm and other such like Portals charge transaction fee. The vendor also told that to transfer money from Paytm account to his Bank account something like 4 to 5% charge is levied by Paytm.
In cash transactions such like mistakes rarely happen. One counts the cash, any discrepancy is settled there and then.
The vendor offered to pay back the difference through. cheque - which I declined as I am leaving for outstation. He then paid the difference through cash.
Do you feel the gullible farmer / daily wage earner / unorganised industry labour / small time worker who is rather illiterate or not well educated will not fall prey to such frauds, if the vendor is dishonest?
Zara sochiye!

Almost 80 per cent of black money flows through banking channels. Through methods such as under invoicing and over invoicing. Through multiple accounts now made easier via Aadhar. Cash forms a very small part of the total. What has happened is that those laundering illicit cash have kept 15 to 20 per cent from the holders. Those who regard the November 8 move as having reduced the black economy are in a dream world

When one pay by ATM/Debit/Credit Card or Cheque, then that is cashless transaction.

My proposal is maintain everything as such just remove the cash completely from the system.#2) SEU must statutorily be exchanged for "value" . If someone finds SEU is of lesser value, then instead of keeping it with earning keeper, one can invest in SEU of other geographical area or precious metals etc.#3) RBI can regulate SEU also. IMHO, please go through the paper and slides on my blog http://samirsrivastava.typepad.com/ carefully. The thing which you described as magic cannot happen without HELP from customs/ govt officials. If hard currency is gone, then these magic will not happen. Moreover if you want when the internet traffic goes out of the country to "suspected web-sites" that can be avoided ISP need to implement policies.IMHO, The parallel economy (due to un-traceability of hard currency) is biggest hindrance in making effective economic policies.

#1 CASH / CURRENCY is a measure of the liability the Government has to
the people of India. In simple terms.CURRENCY is a measure of how
much the Government owes to the citizens.Removing Currency implies
that Government owes people nothing and can do what they want and
print money at will.

Central Banks eliminated.
# 2 CURRENCY Notes must statutorily be exchanged for "value" - ie.
valuable coin. Previously this was gold, now its a mix of metals like
copper and stainless steel. The difference between the intrinsic value
(ie. metal price in open market) of the coin and its face value is the
Govt's tax (called "seignorage"). Typically whenever seignorage
exceeds 25-30% the public rejects paper currency in favour of stronger
currencies and there is monetary inflation. At present India's
seignorage is 70%. No wonder the India Rupee has depreciated 100%
against Dollar because smart Indians are "exporting" their value.
MORAL -> A Rafale fighter jet costs 2x what it did during Congress
time because we now have a chaiwala as PM instead of a former RBI
# 3 If there is no currency, then there is also no need for RBI (whose
only role is to regulate currency and money supply). If there are no
Indian currency notes then people will devise ways and means (also
called Internet APPS) to ensure that transactions take place on
foreign websites in foreign currency but goods are "magically"
delivered in India. This is already happening Udtaa Punjab.
MORAL --> Why would anybody pay in Indian rupees on Indian websites if
a foreign supplier will anonymously deliver the goods to you without
bill after you have paid in dollars or Yen or BITCOIN ? The whole
online Pharmacy racket works on this principle.

DeKalb County football fans have been a bit spoiled by success in recent years, not that we're complaining.
Last season, we watched teams from both Northern Illinois University and Sycamore High School go undefeated in the regular season and come up just one win short of the big game – in NIU's case, the Fiesta Bowl, and in Sycamore's, the IHSA Class 5A state title game.
The Huskies didn't reach a second consecutive BCS bowl, but they still played in a postseason game. So too did four of our area's teams. In addition to Sycamore's run to the state semifinals, DeKalb made its second postseason appearance in this decade (and second since 1989); Genoa-Kingston also appeared in the playoffs, and Kaneland reached the second round.
The level of local football success means that the bar has been set high for this year, but not so high that it can't be cleared. Many local teams have high hopes based on their past success, their maturing talent, or simply their tradition of always just getting the job done.
Today and Friday, there will be ample opportunities for fans to take in a game near home.
The Huskies will debut their post-Jordan Lynch offense at 6 p.m. tonight at Huskie Stadium against the Presbyterian Blue Hose.
On Friday, the local high school teams follow suit, with Sycamore opening their season at home against Lincoln-Way West, DeKalb at home against Vernon Hills, Genoa-Kingston at home against St. Edward, and Kaneland hosting Chicago Brooks.
For more information on the local prep teams and their plans for the season ahead, check out our prep preview section inside today's Daily Chronicle, or online at www.Daily-Chronicle.com/dcpreps.
If you can't make it to the game, or simply want to hear and see what the players have to say about it afterward, you can read our coverage, both in the pages of the Daily Chronicle, as well as online at HuskieWire.com and at DC Preps.
The first game of the season is only the first step in a long journey for our local teams. We wish all our local athletes good luck and encourage football fans to turn out and support them in the weeks ahead.

These "bare bones" instructions assume that you have received the translation file in .itd format. You might also have received the TM for the project as an .mdb file. They also assume that you have at some point completed the SDLX tutorial and adjusted the settings in Tools -> Options. If you are not sure, check the following:
Translation Memory tab: Adjust Minimum match value and Maximum number of hits to your liking.
Concordance tab: Adjust Minimum match value and Maximum number of hits to your liking.
Auto-propagate tab: Make sure Auto-propagate is enabled.
AutoMatch tab: It may be useful to enable AutoMatch.
Spelling and Grammar Checking tab: Select your language and tick Use MS Word spelling checker
If necessary, you can read the explanations for different tabs/options in the SDLX Edit description which STP in-house translators can find on the Intranet FAQs and freelancers under thier SDLX documentation folders.
1. Double-click on the .itd file.The SDL Edit window opens.
2. Open the TM: Translation Memory -> Open… (Or press Ctrl + Alt + O). Select your username if prompted. Select SDLX - Microsoft Access as the TM format if prompted. If your username is not in the dropdown list, you can add it. The TM will appear in the upper dropdown list on the left, where it can be selected directly later.
3. Apply the TM (if not pre-applied, please check from the instructions / with the PM): Translation Memory -> Apply (Or press Ctrl + Shift + A).
4. If TM Difference View pane is not visible, you can select Translation Memory -> View Source Differences to keep it visible all the time. This is good in jobs where there are a high amount of matches, otherwise it takes up space unnecessarily.
5. Click on the first target segment, write your translation, and confirm the translation by pressing Enter. The segment colour changes to blue, confirmed. Make sure that all segments (bar locked Gold segments that haven't been changed) are blue at the end of the translation.
BEWARE! The segments don't go in the TM automatically – you must update the TM with confirmed segments every once in a while (Translation Memory -> Update, Ctrl + Shift + U). If your computer crashes and you haven't updated the TM or saved the translation, you'll loose all your work!
NOTE! If you are working on multiple files, you have to open the TM separately for each file, it doesn't stay open when closing a file and opening a new one.
Press F7.
The colour of the dividing bar between a source segment and the corresponding target segment indicates the status of the translation.
The number on the dividing bar is the extent of the translation memory match applied to the segment during pre-processing.
Format painting is the same as copying tag information from the source into the target. Place the cursor on top of the target segment to be checked and click the Format Paint button. Click Next required format. Select the item in the target segment that corresponds to the highlighted item in the source, paint it and release. The format painting will be applied accordingly.

Series: No
Author: Lynne Silver
Published: July 2013, Entangled Publishing
Format: Ebook received for review
Billionaire CEO and computer whiz Noah Frellish is a king among geeks. Women are attracted to his money, but he'd love to meet someone who's actually interested in him. When he helps the sweet and sexy Michelle Kolson with a printing problem, she confuses him for a help desk technician. Noah knows he should clear up this case of mistaken identity, but would she still like him if she knew he was the boss?
Michelle thinks life in Chicago is perfect, as is the whirlwind romance with her smoking-hot coworker. When she unexpectedly finds her job on the chopping block and the man she fell headfirst into bed with running the company, will she abandon her dreams?
Noah must convince the small-town girl to stay in the big city—and that he really is the man she fell for.
This was my first book by author Lynne Silver, and I'll definitely be adding more. I found her writing to be enjoyable with an easy flow and entertaining storyline. I've read a couple of "geek romances" and I have to say, this is a sub-genre that is quickly rising to the top of my favorites. Love, Technically was engaging from beginning to end.
In Love, Technically we have Michelle who is a transplant to Chicago from Iowa. She's a small town girl who just needed more than what working at the local supercenter could offer her. So she struck out on her own in one of the biggest cities in the country. Right away I like her. Not only is she very kind and tenderhearted, the bravery is takes to make a move like this endears her to me. I feel slightly protective of Michelle, but at the same time, I am sure she can handle her own. Small town doesn't translate to dumb.
Right away at work she runs into after hours computer issues. Luckily a computer geek happens out of no where. Ladies, meet Sark. Sark is sexy and in shape. He's the type of hottie geek that a girl like me dreams of. Sark realizes something right away – Michelle doesn't realize who he is. He sees an opportunity to get to know her as himself, not as the CEO of the company she just hired into. I found him to be a sincere character, and I loved him all the way through.
This is the type of book I could see made into one of those movies on TV with young up and coming actors. It had a fun and flirty feel to it. There did come a point where things were a little heartbreaking. I mean, nothing good can come from hiding your identity. Miscommunication at this point is an ugly monster. Near the end, there were a few scenes that kind of unraveled for me. I was expecting a big overture, and I got something more of a stumble with good luck. It worked for the pair, but I would have really loved something a bit more intense and dramatic.
The drink in his hand was messing with his need to touch her and cup her bottom as they swayed to the music. His hands couldn't go where they wanted, but his mouth could. He leaned down to kiss her, and she met his mouth halfway. She tasted like beer and warm, sexy woman. The kiss grew deeper, stronger. Around them other couples clung to each other and used the slow dance as an excuses to get close to their partner.
He stopped pretending and gave in to what he really wanted. Keeping his mouth on hers, he back them off the dance floor to a quieter corner of the club. Somewhere along the way, they lost their drinks on a table, on the floor. He didn't know, didn't care. What mattered was keeping his connection with Michelle.
After finishing this book, I think I would recommend this to people who are fans of YA or NA romance, or geek romance. It isn't really huge on the hot and heavy scenes (save for maybe one? I didn't keep count - so I could be wrong), although there are some terrific spur of the moment kisses which just made me melt into a big puddle. It was a fun and easy romance with fun characters.

Miami String Quartet
Miami String Quartet
Violin Benny Kim
Violin Cathy Meng Robinson
Viola Scott Lee
Cello Keith Robinson
Event Attributes
Presented By
Known for their eclectic repertoire and adventuresome approach to concertizing, the Miami String Quartet celebrates 25 years of music-making in the 2013–2014 season.
The quartet will share that celebration with Center patrons and the UMD School of Music as they present a public recital and a two-day residency with UMD chamber music students.
The quartet's program highlights the range of possibilities in chamber music repertoire, beginning with a modern-day composer and moving back in time to the 1800s. The program opens with American composer Joan Tower's Angels (String Quartet No.4), a piece that the Miami String Quartet premiered for Tower in 2008 and which is dedicated to the people in Tower's life who have shown a generosity of spirit and a love of humanity.
This will be followed by Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 9, which, unlike most of Shostakovich's work, was changed and revised several times before it was premiered in 1964 in Moscow, Russia, and is dedicated to his third wife, Irina Antonovna.
Their program will culminate with a joint performance of Mendelssohn's Octet, Op. 20 with Excelsa, the UMD School of Music's Graduate Fellowship String Quartet. Mendelssohn was just 16 years old when he composed the piece, which had its debut in 1836 and was written as a birthday gift for his friend and violin teacher, Eduard Rietz.
Review by The Washington Post
With its vivid progression of folk tunes, hymns, energetic dances, quiet reflection and, finally, galloping commotion, the quartet was pure fun and, although the performance emphasized clarity and balance, this never came at the expense of vigor or momentum.
– JOAN REINTHALER, The Washington Post, October 6, 2013
Review by DCMetroTheaterArts
Each musician evoked the meaning of the work deeply as they portrayed the chaos of an attack with loud dissonance, followed by the motif of a constant screech-like glissando, causing unease and tension throughout the piece.
– LISA DRISCOLL, DCMetroTheaterArts, October 6, 2013

Hi All using Spectogram I analysed the audio signal from Yubileiny as follows:- main carrier 2400hz the bandwidth being 120hz wide so far as could tell. I estimate that the central carrier was pulsing at 4 times/sec, if these figures sound familiar to anybody please let me know!

New York: Scientists in the US have developed the first model that can predict with up to 90 percent accuracy the amount of nicotine emitted by an e-cigarette.
The researchers from Virginia Commonwealth University collected data from various e-cigarette devices, the concentration of the liquid nicotine that could be put in the devices and the length of time a user might inhale from the device in one puff.
The team then developed a mathematical model to determine how much nicotine was emitted from the devices as the device voltage and the nicotine liquid concentration were increased and the user puff duration was extended.
The model predicted that higher voltage e-cigarette devices paired with high-concentration nicotine liquids could emit greater levels of the addictive substance than those of a traditional tobacco cigarette, depending on user puff duration.
"The results showed that nicotine yields from 15 puffs on an e-cigarette varied by more than 50 times across various device, liquid and user behaviour conditions," said research team member Thomas Eissenberg.
The team also observed that experienced e-cigarette users were more likely to take longer puffs than novice users, resulting in higher levels of nicotine being delivered to their bloodstream.
"When used as intended, an electronic cigarette should not produce a nicotine yield in excess of that of a combustible cigarette, a device that we already know has lethal health effects," Eissenberg noted.
With this novel nicotine mathematical model, researchers will now be able to predict with a great deal of accuracy how much nicotine will be delivered to an e-cigarette user before a device is even designed.
The study was published in the journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research.

The well known L538 with All Wheel Steering (AWS) and in fashionable blue colour from the Agricultural Cooperative NilNomen.
It is very agile and has a very small turning circle thanks to AWS.
Due to its 115KW/156bhp and a top speed of 42kmh (26mph)it is a pure working horse. It needs about 100 Liters of the finest Diesel available for 100km, or as Giants puts it: about 41 Liters for one hour under full load.
It certainly can handle large shovels with a volume of 20,000 liters, however a counter weight of 4 Tons is then required. The bog standard shovel you can use without any counter weight.
Also with its price of only 143000 Euros and a daily maintenance fee of only 90 Euros the L538 AWS is an absolute steal.
The handling characteristics of the L538 are outstanding. It almost stays clued to the terrain. It went without a hitch through its paces on the TopGear Test Track
Tested in SP and MP. Logs are free of errors.
There is already a L538 AWS on Modhoster, however it still has the faulty attacher for shovels and other implements. So i took the original L538 from Giants and modified it for AWS. This is not a changed version of peterman67's buggy version, but a complete new build as there were many changes in the Giants Model with the different patches they released.

'P.S. I Love You' tops DVD charts
Knocks '27 Dresses' to No. 2Warner Home Video's "P.S. I Love You," starring Hilary Swank, topped the national video sales and rental charts its first week in stores, easily beating fellow new release "First Sunday" from Sony.
"P.S. I Love You," which grossed $53.7 million at the boxoffice, bumped Fox's "27 Dresses" to No. 2 on the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert sales chart and Home Media Magazine's rental chart. "27 Dresses" topped both charts last week.
"First Sunday," with a boxoffice pedigree of $37.9 million, debuted at No. 3 on both charts.
New Line's "The Golden Compass" was No. 4 on both charts.
On the sales front, "P.S. I Love You" sold nearly twice as many copies as "First Sunday" in its first week. "P.S. I Love You" also generated an estimated $7.2 million in revenue, compared with $5.6 million for "First Sunday."
"27 Dresses" generated an additional $6.1 million in rental revenue to bring its total take after two weeks to $13.4 million, or 17.5% of its theatrical gross.
Fellow sophomore "Golden Compass" took in $5.3 million to bring its total rental haul to $11.8 million, or 16.8% of its theatrical gross.
On the high-definition front, "Twister" was the top-selling Blu-ray Disc release of the week, with "Golden Compass" at No. 2 and "P.S. I Love You" debuting at No. 3.

[KITH_HHV11] In latent infection, may allow the virus to be reactivated and to grow in cells lacking a high concentration of phosphorylated nucleic acid precursors, such as nerve cells that do not replicate their genome (By similarity).
CheckConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
Novel C-6 substituted pyrimidine derivatives are good substrates of herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase (HSV1-TK). Enzyme kinetic experiments showed that our lead compound, N-methyl DHBT (N-methyl-6-(1,3-dihydroxyisobutyl) thymine; N-Me DHBT), is phosphorylated at a similar rate compared to "gold standard" 9-[4-fluoro-3-(hydroxymethyl)butyl]guanine, FHBG, (K(m) = 10 +/- 0.3 muM; k(cat) = 0.036 +/- 0.015 sec(-1)). Additionally, it does not show cytotoxic properties on B16F1 cells up to a concentration of 10 mM. The x-ray analysis of the crystal structures of HSV1-TK with N-Me DHBT and of HSV1-TK with the fluorinated derivative N-Me FHBT confirmed the binding mode predicted by docking studies and their substrate characteristics. Moreover, the crystal structure of HSV1-TK with N-Me DHBT revealed an additional water-mediated H-bond interesting for the design of further analogues.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Community Discussion' started by macEfan, Oct 19, 2005.
What is your favorite type of food
I'm not sure. What's yours?
Another food thread? I am getting fat just reading these threads.
Alrighty, I would have to say sushi, especially sashimi.
I believe I am the world's biggest fan of Indian food.
I just can't get enough of it.
My two favorite restaurants are India Palace in East Lansing, MI and Raja Rani in Ann Arbor.
To me, there is no better food than chicken curry or tikka masala, with either some garlic nan or masala nan. Mmmmmmmmmmm.
lol My family always gives me a hard time because they think I constantly smell like curry and garlic...I can't smell it, and my girlfriend can't either. But maybe we are just used to it...lol
I've tried my hand at Indian cooking...and I can do dal (lentil soup) pretty good...but for some reason, my chicken curry isn't quite what I'd like it to be. I can never get it with the flavor and complexity I'm used to when I go out and get it (then again, Raja Rani has been voted #1 Indian restaurant in Michigan eleventy billion times lol)
Like, edible stuff.
Pork, closely followed by lamb. In most varieties...
I love all food.
Some things I love though are:
Lobster mmmmmm,
Actually not just sushi, I like all japanese food,
Smoked Meat,
I actually can think of very few foods that I dislike. I just love food. It's a passion.
If you were to ask me this in real life at this very moment I'd say "Asian Food" with a mouth full of Spare ribs over white rice .
You like chinese dim sum...ie. Steamed marinated chicken feet? Duck butts? Sliced, chilled jellyfish ? or ox tongue soup? Simmered pig intestines in chicken broth? Blood curdled dessert? Shall I go on...?
Okay...and you haven't lived 'til you've eaten Capybara, medium rare and fresh off the grill.
after being in the south for a while, i really love bbq with a good vinegar based sauce. mmmmm
Looks delicious. Is it related to the pig family? If so, I will have to decline. Pork products cause cancer.
It's the word's largest rodent; so I suppose that puts it in the rat and squirrel family, so you're safe.......sorta. No guarantees against acid reflux.
mmmm chocolate. Or cheeseburgers. Or doughnuts. Or seafood.
Never tried it...how is it?
Well, he does have it in the favourite foods thread, so I would assume that he likes it
I like and enjoy just about all kinds of food. For me whatever I'm eating at the moment is a comfort food. I'm very easy to please.
yeah, by the way, my fave is broiled seafood. Shrimp, fish,mmmmm
me hungry
Tastes great. Raw salmon and tuna meat turns people off, but the fear is so irrational. It's bloody delicious. Raw tuna steaks will melt in your mouth. *drools*
I love all types of food, but two things I have almost every week are pizza & sushi. I also get incredible yearnings for mexican food and/or guacamole from time to time...
Raw salmon I can agree with, but tuna? Yuck.
I personally am a big fan of grilled foods. Just got done grilling steaks about an hour ago..Yum.. Also like pizza quite a bit.
Mmmm, tuna! I think that's what got me to like sushi in the first place. I started to love a nice seared tuna steak. First medium-rare, then moved to rare eventually. And then realized "why do I have a problem with sushi? I'm already eating raw fish!" Gave it another try and the rest was history!
The sad thing is that I ate these things when I was a kiddie before I learned what they were. Now I can eat them without turning my stomach, don't know if that's good or bad...
There's not blood curdled desesert though. There is soup with these little tofu-looking cubes that are made from blood.

If you rescued a dog from a puppy mill or bought a puppy from a pet store, there's a chance that your dog might display some behavioral problems. Responsible breeders always put the dogs' welfare first, but "puppy-mill" dogs are unfortunately raised for profit with little concern for the dogs' health. You can't assume that a rescued puppy-mill dog will run, play and be carefree with you and other family members right away. You need to erase the damage that's been done and start from scratch.
How to Socialize a Rescued Puppy-Mill Dog
1 - Get a crate or set up a safe area in your home where your rescued puppy-mill dog can "escape" when she feels the need. Place her food and water bowl just outside an open crate or in the safe area. Also, put down some newspapers or house-training pads. Puppy-mill dogs are rarely housebroken; they often live in wire cages and urinate or defecate right in the cage.
2 - Sit down with your side to the dog instead of facing her. Put a treat in your hand and extend your arm toward the dog. Place treats around you on the floor if your dog is too shy to take a treat from your hand. When the dog feels comfortable approaching you, scratch her under her chin or on her chest. A dog will let you pet those areas before she'll allow you to pet the top of her head.
3 - Attach a leash to her collar, or put a harness on your dog and attach a leash to that after she's been in your home for a few days. Many puppy-mill dogs prefer a harness-leash setup to attaching a leash to a collar. If your dog pulls and is damaging her neck, use the harness with leash. Have the dog walk around the house dragging the leash with her so she'll become used to the leash before you try to take her for a walk. Provide a treat when you attach the leash and another when she successfully walks around with the leash.
4 - Introduce a calm and friendly pooch -- yours, if you have one, or a willing friend or neighbor's -- to your puppy-mill dog. Because puppy-mill dogs are used to being around lots of other dogs, the new well-adjusted dog can help socialize her.
5 - Let your dog know that you will protect her. Do this by standing between your dog and any possible threat. For example, if a child comes running over to pet your dog, calmly step in front of the dog and tell the child that your dog is scared today. When your dog understands that you protect her, she will be more likely to follow your lead on walks and for training in general.
Caution: Never greet a shy dog by staring at her, leaning over her or reaching out to pat her head. These can be intimidating actions.

The Institute of Directors Young Enterprise Alumni of the Year 2016 recognises the achievements of a Young Enterprise Alumnus who has displayed the skills, drive and passion to build their own business inspired by their experience with Young Enterprise's enterprise education programmes.
Last year, the inaugural award was presented to Stephen Henderson of Ruach Music.
Stephen commented: "When at Kilkeel High School, I took part in numerous Young Enterprise activities, from workshops making accessories to sell, to developing lucrative business concepts to pitch to a panel. Along the way I took on board not only the basic skills used in business, but the passion and excitement that accompanies them. As a result at the age of 16, through witnessing percussionists' enthusiasm regarding the progression of the percussive instrument, the cajon, I founded Ruach Music.
"Since initiating trading, I have made over 500 instruments, selling them into countries including the USA, Canada, Germany, Poland, Japan, Singapore and Australia, been accepted onto Northern Irelands accelerator programme, Propel, and raised over £14,000 on online crowd funding site, kickstarter.com. Ruach's pre-series product line, the "MK-Range" acquired a great response from the market, but musicians wanted more. Taking things to the next level, Ruach has just launched the "LIVE Series", the drum that never goes out of tune."
To enter simply email the following information to email@example.com.
Year completed Young Enterprise programme
Programme completed (Company/KEY/LET/Other)
Business success to date (eg set up in business/numbers employed/scale of business)
How your Young Enterprise experience supported you on your journey
The winner will be invited to the IOD Awards event on 15th April as a guest of Young Enterprise to accept their award. We particularly encourage entries from Alumni who have completed mini-enterprise or other programmes with us within the last 15 years.
Closing date: Monday 29th February at 5pm.

I to had a Rev0 DREAMCAST. These are the first run of Dreamcast that had
metal fans / heat-sink and metal cooling pipes! These are made of sturdier
more dependable components as they run cooler and have better quality
Japanese GD rom drives.
I am by NO MEANS and expert in such matters and am simply relaying info I

The Christmas high has worn off and I still feel pretty good. My son is still extremely happy, my husband's home for the week, and the tree glows brightly in our quaint living room.
As we watch Californication, my husband works and I blog. I'm new at this blogging thing, meaning we'll see if I do can actually do this on a regular basis. I'm trying to set a lot of new goals this year, not random goals, but several that I've been working on for a while.
1. Blogging. Not because I think I'm important, but I find that when it comes to doing something just for myself, I don't do it. So, if anyone does end up reading this, leaving comments will let me know that someone's reading it.
2. Exercise. I'm fat, I want to be fit. That's all.
3. Self-employed. I want to spend more time with my son and less with a job.
4. Vacation more. I would like to take more trips.
That's all. I hope to write more soon.

The death of 48 innocent Americans at a club in Orlando, Florida is tragic. Islamic terrorism has struck again on American soil, and we're paying the price for President Obama's inability to confront and defeat the Islamic State (ISIS).
Instead of fighting terrorists and exposing radical Islam, Obama is busy using this crisis to push his anti-gun agenda. Sweeping anti-gun executive orders are expected.
But let's take a look at how useful guns can be! Just after the deadly attack in Orlando, a retired police officer was in a Queens, New York bar when an armed robber stormed in.
The retired cop took action, long before the police could have arrived- This is instant justice!
Police said 30-year-old Andrew McClean walked into the pub waving a gun and announced a robbery. He took money from the cash register and then stole from some customers before the former cop fatally shot him, according to police.
The cop, identified by police sources as 69-year-old Robert Beardsley, retired in 1975.
His police officer instincts kicked in Monday. He fired one round hitting the robber in the head killing him.
Neighbors in his Whitestone community say they know he's a retired police officer but he was low-key and quiet.
"He always says hello, he's friendly. He's a good guy. When I was a little kid he used to be out mowing his lawn and I'm playing. He's very nice to me," said Christopher Rusch, whose father owns the house next door from Beardsley.
This is why our 2nd Amendment protections are so important. At any time, evil can strike, and it's essential for citizens to be armed. Without a gun nearby for this retired cop, this story could have ended in a very different way.
Robert Beardsley is a hero and he saved the day!
What do you think about Obama's radical anti-gun agenda? Please leave us a comment (below) and tell us.

These fingers aren't the bad ones!Babies are precious little lumps of cute 99.9 percent of the time. But the other 0.01 percent of the time, they are mean little buggers who exist solely to make us want to tear our hair. They also surreptitiously flip us off a lot.
Seriously, have you ever noticed that is like a requirement for all baby books? I challenge you to find a single parent who DOESN'T have the old "baby flipping the bird" photo.
Here are 8 photos of babies doing their best to tell mom and dad to EFF OFF. See below:

Days of Glory (Indigènes) Movie Review
Days of Glory (Indigènes) is only the second of the five Oscar nominees for 2006's Best Foreign Picture that I've seen, and while definitely no Pan's Labyrinth, the movie holds its own. The first Algerian film to get nominated in over ten years, Days of Glory follows four Algerian soldiers as they face discrimination during WWII, despite the fact that they fight alongside other soldiers for the liberty of France.
Often compared to Saving Private Ryan, Days of Glory is perhaps a bit more politically motivated film, and I say that in a good way. In modern times, when things seem to be ever more tense when it comes to racial and religious issues, it is good to see a movie tackle the subject in a very discreet and honorable way. Though I cannot comment on specific issues in France as I don't know all the details, what we hear over in the U.S. is constantly increasing tensions between "normal" French and Muslims, most notably the absolutely ridiculous scarf-banning law. Days of Glory goes at that kind of discrimination in the best way possible, of showing how even soldiers who fought against the Nazis faced upward challenges due to their Muslim faith.
The acting all around is pretty good, though some of the actors are certainly better than others. The movie develops some of its four leads more than others, and for the most part, they seemed to develop the wrong ones. In fact, it seems as though the one survivor of it all is the most underdeveloped, but also the one who gives the best performance. The others, while still good, are not commanding.
I can't say to compare this movie to Saving Private Ryan is very fair, because it isn't. Spielberg's war masterpiece was, and is, a masterpiece, and Days of Glory is simply a quality war film. The ending, actually, is quite similar to the ending in Ryan, though not as large in scale (as one might suspect as I'm sure Spielberg had a larger budget to work with). The characters aren't as interesting, and the story is a little slow at times. Yes, I realize I just compared to the two movies, but perhaps one has to, as they are very similar in many ways.
If you're into war films, Days of Glory is certainly one of the better ones out there, but it still doesn't compare to what are considered the best war movies available. A little tightening in a few places and some more character development in others would have helped, but all in all this is a film worth seeing.

The StormCon Surface Water Quality Conference and Expo will take place on August 27th to 31st, 2017 in the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue, Seattle. And it's the perfect time to learn something new! StormCon is the world's largest stormwater pollution prevention conference and trade show. Meet the world's leading stormwater experts on BMPs, low-impact development, program management, construction-site runoff, green infrastructure, monitoring, and research.
StormCon is a tremendous opportunity for attendees to grow their stormwater initiative in a more focused, informed way, with analysis and feedback from your peers to help direct your efforts and pinpoint areas everyone can improve upon. Emerging technology, products and services will be on display in the exhibit hall. Get hands on experience at over 185 stormwater exhibits.
Storm and surface water-related vendors have exhibited for years at many of the regional and national events in the general water-, engineering-, pollution-, government-, or construction-related fields. Until now, it's been difficult - not to mention time consuming and expensive - to distinguish the real sales prospects from the others at these events. Consider the results that would come from exhibiting at a highly focused event designed specifically for the surface water-quality professionals you're after. Each attendee on the floor is a viable sales prospect, each session and discussion is relevant to their professional activities, and each exhibitor offers solutions to their concerns. With the accelerating rate of activity in the stormwater market, the need for a single event bringing together stormwater managers and engineers from around North America has never been stronger.
You should exhibit if your organization falls into one of the following categories or offers any of these products, equipment, or services:
During this Conference & Expo we will be there too, and would love to meet you at our booth #117! For further information about registration, please visit the website from StormCon.

The Silver Price Will Explode!
The silver price will explode in the coming years, and if you are not positioned you will lose out big time. The demand for silver is soaring, and China recently announced the legal ownership of silver to its citizens. Countries, industry, and investors are starting to put an increased strain on the already strained silver market.
Silver is an industrial metal as well as a monetary metal. Industrial uses for silver are growing at an exponential rate. Since silver is used in solar panels, water filters, medical applications, electronics, and more, the demand for silver is at record highs. Silver is not recycled like gold either, but is thrown away into land fills to never be seen again.
The silver price is rising higher due to the investor demand along with a severe shortage situation. Our government has been busy suppressing the price of silver, illegally, to falsely prop the dollar up. Buying silver coins, silver bars, silver bullion, and silver stocks will be the smartest decision you ever make financially.
Economist Bob Chapman has stated that gold will go anywhere between $7,000 and $12,000 per ounce. Silver follows right along with gold in any price movements. You are going to get slaughtered if you stay in dollar related assets. If you are invested in stocks, bonds, cash value insurance policies, annuities, and anything denominated in U.S. dollars, you should get out of them while the market is still high.
The silver to gold ratio is historically 15:1, but today that ratio fluctuates between 60 and 70. The silver to gold ratio is how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold. The silver to gold ratio is out of wack because our government has intervened in the markets and is suppressing the price of silver.
The price of silver is held down by manipulation on the COMEX. JP Morgan and HSBC are the major short sellers of silver, and they are illegally over their position limits by thousands of contracts. The short sellers are illegally controlling the price, but the physical demand surfacing will soon end any price manipulation, and the price of silver will go bananas when that happens.
These banks are taking out huge positions on silver and selling those contracts on the market, thus flooding the market with silver and bringing the price down. The organization GATA (Gold Anti Trust Action) Committee are in the process of bringing this manipulation to an end. When this manipulation is stopped, get ready for silver to skyrocket to its true value, which could be anywhere from $140 to higher than the gold price according to many experts.
These banks continue their illegal activities, even though they are way over their allowable position limits. The manipulation I am talking about will come to an end, investors in silver must be patient though. The COMEX has already defaulted on customers wanting physical delivery of their gold contracts, which begs the question "Do they even have the gold they claim to have?"
Just a tiny amount of investors buying silver would send the price sky high. The market is so small, and when people realize that this fake market rally is a reality, they will do all they can to buy into silver. The market will get away from you if you are not positioned because of the tiny size of the market. The greatest bull market is under way right now. Do yourself and your family a favor and get into silver ASAP.
God bless.

With 2017 just around the corner, it's almost time for that one night a year where it's perfectly appropriate to overdo it on glitter and champagne (and curse Uber for suggesting that it will cost you at least $50 to get home). I can't help you in the alcohol and transportation department BUT I can give you some beauty inspo for this sparkly evening.
Tag Archives: Makeup
Extreme Beauty
With all that is enhanced, filtered and edited in the social media-fied world of beauty…how are we ever to know what's achievable (or real) and what's not? Are those actually her lips? All contouring, no fillers? (I don't think so). Oh yeah, we are going there…
Fall 2016 Beauty
It's always exciting to talk about the new trends (whether it be on the runways or the streets) post fashion month, but there's an equally as important category that doesn't get nearly as much attention, and that's what today is all about. The craziest, coolest, freshest, and WTF beauty moments from the Fall 2016 shows…right this way!
Under The Radar Beauty Brands
When it comes to beauty (as well as other things in life) we tend to stick with what we know. Whether it's worked for us for years or our mothers used it (and if it's good enough for mom, it's good enough for us!) why fix it if it's not broken? I say…because it's fun to experiment, that's why! So if you're stuck in a beauty rut or are just looking for some new products to try out, here's 14 kick-ass beauty brands you probably haven't heard of.
Pumpkin Spice Beauty
With the 70s being all the rage here in 2015, it's no surprise to see that earth-tone color palette show up in other aspects besides fashion. We all know a rust colored suede dress is pretty much amazing, but what are your feelings towards that hue in an eyeshadow? Lipstick? Perhaps on your nails? Let's discuss.

Having not read the book or seen the original Swedish film version, I went into this with no previous knowledge and could sit back and just watch this amazing film. Didn't have any preconceived notions of what to expect and having to compare against the original version. Well I was immediately drawn into this film from the very beginning with what has to be one of the best title credit sequences ever. Whoever did this work should have won an Oscar. Just amazing imagery that grabs hold of your senses and doesn't let go.
Be warned this film is not easy to watch as there are several scenes that will have you gasping and recoiling a bit. Take for instance Lisbeth and her dealing with the executor of her recently passed guardian's will. Things get nasty and very violent between the two and Lisbeth does not shy away as she takes matters personally. The scene reaches a brutal climax that had me thinking...whoa! The direction is superb by David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club). As is the stunning cinematography, to make this one of the best looking films I have ever seen.

GL-Z 0.4.0 cross-platform OpenGL and Vulkan utility
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Today we added a new Vulkan test to our 3DMark Android benchmarking app. The new API Overhead feature test lets you compare the performance of Vulkan and OpenGL ES 3.0 APIs on your Android smartphone and tablet. 3DMark API Overhead feature test Vulkan is a new graphics API that provides high-efficiency, low-level access to modern GPUs in a wide variety of devices from PCs to smartphones. APIs like Vulkan make better use of multi-core CPUs to streamline code execution and eliminate software bottlenecks, particularly for draw calls.Games typically make thousands of draw calls per frame, but each one creates performance-limiting overhead for the CPU. APIs with less overhead can handle more draw calls and produce richer visuals. The API Overhead feature test is an impartial test for comparing the performance of Vulkan and OpenGL ES 3.0.The 3DMark API Overhead feature test measures API performance by making a steadily increasing number of draw calls. The result of the test is the number of draw calls per second achieved by each API before the frame rate drops below 30 FPS.The purpose of the test is to compare the relative performance of different APIs on a single mobile device. The API Overhead feature test is not a general-purpose GPU benchmark, and it should not be used to compare different Android devices or to compare Android devices with Apple devices.We recommend reading the 3DMark Technical Guide, which goes into more detail and explains the important differences between feature tests and benchmarks. Important notes on compatibility The OpenGL ES 3.0 part of the test requires Android 5.0 or later and a device that supports OpenGL ES 3.0.The Vulkan part of the test requires Android 7.0 or later and a device that supports Vulkan.Please note that devices that shipped with early Vulkan drivers may have performance and stability issues in this test. Vulkan performance can be much lower than expected, and the test can crash on devices with underdeveloped Vulkan drivers. Performance on these older devices may improve with future Android OS updates. Download 3DMark is a free Android benchmark app available from Google Play.

Respondent or information from other source: Professor Dominic Shellard, Project Leader
Aims, policies, purpose/impetus for project:
The Theatre Archive Project (TAP) is aiming to reinvestigate British theatre history 1945-1968 from the perspectives of both the theatregoer and the practitioner. During the last four years the project has given the public access to the following resources:
The Theatre Archive Project (TAP) began in 2003, as a major AHRC funded project. The Project is still ongoing as a University of Sheffield/British Library project. The AHRC funding ended in 2008.
Key individuals and roles involved:
Prof. Dominic Shellard (University of Sheffield) - Project leader Lada Price (University of Sheffield) - Project Administrator (event organising; database maintenance; co-ordinating interviewees; co-ordinating funding applications) Alec Patton (University of Sheffield) - Volunteer interviewers co-ordinator (training and co-ordinating the interviewers) Volunteer student interviewers (University of Sheffield) - so far over 100 student interviewers have conducted an interview for the project. Jamie Andrews (British Library) - TAP Steering Group (support for TAP at the BL)
Paid or voluntary, training in oral history:
Only one staff member (project administrator) is paid on a part-time basis.
All others are on voluntary basis.
All key individuals have had oral history training. Student volunteers are trained before they undertake an interview. (Separate guidelines for interviewers can be provided, if needed)
Project funded by:
The University of Sheffield and the British Library pay a salary for one part-time staff member (until June 2009). The UoS has also provided limited funding for expenses of volunteer interviewers. However, more funding is being sought by TAP to develop new oral history interview strands, such as one on HM Tennent.
Management of project:
The project is managed jointly by the UoS and BL. The project leader and administrator are responsible for the day-to day running of the project with support form the BL. The BL helps TAP with event organisation and posting of transcripts on the TAP website.
Format of interviews:
All interviews are recorded on digital recorders as a WAV file. The recordings are then saved on a high quality CD and posted to the BL sounds archive where they are catalogued and can be requested by the public.
How interviewees are selected and located:
When the project begun notices were sent to major theatre related publications, national newspapers and flyers were distributed to theatres. The response was overwhelming. Interviewees then told us of their friends and acquaintances who might want to be interviewed (word of mouth). People who attended our events also expressed their wish to be interviewed. TAP is still being contacted by people who would like to share their theatrical memories.
Interview running time: Most interviews last approximately 1 hour.
Copyright in interviews. Assignment rights?:
Yes, all interviewees sign a British Library copyright form so that the recordings can be stored in the BL sound archive and the transcripts can be published on the TAP website.
Location of interview copies. Accessibility to public/format:
The interview recordings are held in the BL sound archive and also in the Sheffield University Special Collections.
Collection contact details/website:
The public can request to listen to an interview by following a simple procedure. The original recordings may be consulted via the Listening and Viewing Service of the British Library Sound Archive. Appointments can be made by phone, fax, post or e-mail. You need to hold a British Library Reader Pass.

Each interview has a short summary presenting details of the interviewee and topics/content covered in the interview. The public can now search over 1 million words of transcripts by entering a key word or words in the 'Search the Theatre Archive Project' box at the top of the interview page.
All interviews are listed in alphabetical order. Surname quick links are also available.
Future plans for project/interviews?:
Specific goals for the Theatre Archive Project:
Project web site: www.bl.uk/theatrearchive
List on a joint (possibly STR website): Yes very interested
Join listserv/emailing list/forum: Yes
Further information:
The project has received and is still receiving very positive feedback about its work. The testimonies have strongly encouraged us to continue with the oral history strand of the project.
For example, before he passed away Ronald Gray wrote to us: "I've re-lived 60 years theatre-going! Your interviewer confirmed for me the importance and value of this project fro future scholars and historians of that post-war period of recovery from a terrible war and the resulting changes seen through the experiences and memories of my generation." (19/6/07) Just before he died Terence Rigby contacted us to say: "I was really pleased to have taken part in your project. Thank you and many many congratulations of your achievement". (3/01/08) Many of our interviewees have participated in evenings and conferences at the British Library. Harry Greene, who worked with Theatre Workshop emailed us to say that: "The whole team has produced a most remarkable collection of interviews and a splendidly definitive theatre book. I'm very honoured to be part of it." [08/10/08]
The project has also touched the lives of people on a personal level: "The content of your interview with Austin Cole has provided more information about my great uncle and his wife than I have been able glean from family or any other sources. So, this shows just one aspect of the value such projects can produce. Thank you for providing me, albeit unknowingly, with such a clear insight into an aspect of my great aunt and uncles lives." (Den Griffiths, Woodcote 02/12/08)
List of interviewees provided: Yes (see just below)
Please note that due to the volume of interviews we do not enclose interview running times but most last approximately 1 hour.
