Armenia, officially the Republic of Armenia, is a country in the South Caucasus region of Eurasia. Located at the crossroads of Western Asia and Eastern Europe, it is bordered by Turkey to the West, Georgia to the North, the Nagorno-Karabakh region and Azerbaijan to the East, and Iran to the South. The capital of the country is Yerevan.
Armenia is a unitary, multi-party state, founding member of the Commonwealth of Independent States, member of the United Nations since 1992, member of the Council of Europe since 2001 and also of other international organisations.
In what regards democratic principles, political and civil rights, Armenia is still characterized in 2016 as "Partly Free" by Freedom House – 2016 Freedom in the World Index, because of the problems related to political and civil rights. Despite this fact, Armenian civil society continues to be vocal, especially in the advocacy dimension, striving for increased transparency and government accountability. According to the 2015 Civil Society Sustainability Index published by USAID, Armenian CSOs are actively initiating and engaging in policy dialogue, as there is a growing culture of civic activism.

Recent reports suggest that Major League Soccer expansion franchise New York City FC are showing significant interest in Barcelona captain Carles Puyol.
Diario Gol reports that NYCFC chief Ferran Soriano is looking to lure the 35-year old defender to the USA.
Soriano spent five years with Puyol at Barcelona before leaving to take up the chief executive role at Premier League club Manchester City, subsequently becoming NYCFC's main man after City purchased majority ownership.
It is believed that he is hoping to use his relationship with Spain international Puyol to bring him to New York as a Designated Player ahead of the 2015 MLS season when the brand new club, part-owned by Major League baseball's New York Yankees, enters North America's top flight.
Puyol has been at the Camp Nou for his entire professional career, which saw him debut for the Blaugrana in 1999, but it is being widely reported that he will leave the Catalan giants this summer.

The 5th. March was a signature day for Rainbow Sugarcraft. The Team was one member down and had nine wedding cakes to be delivered to venues throughout Scotland - all before 1pm.
Why the tight deadline?
Well the ninth Wedding Cake was for Paul (the missing Team member) and his beautiful bride Fiona. The couple tied the knot at the Kingsknowes Hotel and chose this stunning spherical Enigma Wedding Cake to mark their special occasion.
Fortunately the rest of the Team all made it in time to celebrate, two just in the nick of time!
We all had a fabulous Day at Paul and Fiona's Wedding. It was a really happy occassion for Rainbow Sugarcraft and, of course, the Wedding Cake was superb (although we say so ourselves!)
Every Good Wish to Paul and Fiona who are currently on honeymoon in warmer climes. Hurry back soon Paul - we need you.

Hi, Walter Pall
I hope you are doing well. I love your Japanese maple. I had one that is very similar in size and design. Last winter killed my tree.
Why would a maple not wake from its winter slumber?

On Monday Double X published an excerpt from Lizzie Skurnick's new book Shelf Discovery: The Teen Classics We Never Stopped Reading , and I've since found myself paging back through my own copy of her ode to the young adult novel. In the office earlier today, Noreen and I were discussing what the book suggests about why women read. We thought others might want to chime in here.
Skurnick's thesis, which she defends with her usual contagious exuberance , is that books like Daughters of Eve , From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler , Island of the Blue Dolphins , and Jacob Have I Loved are important, that their companionship can be the thing that keeps you from dissolving into a pool of self-doubt before you ever get to kiss someone or get your own apartment or write a book. What she never explicitly acknowledges is that the authors and protagonists of most of the novels she discusses are female, and that she is writing specifically about how these books shape their readers as women. Certainly many male writers have reflected in print on the books that shaped them as thinkers, writers , and human beings. Do we have an example, though, of a man talking about the stories that showed him how to make it as a man? Which once again raises the larger question: Do men think of their maleness as being a distinct, challenging aspect of their humanity, as women must to at least some degree (see the prehistoric maxi-pad-with-belt in Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret ) regard being female?

Gent-Wevelgem will definitely go ahead on Sunday after race director Frank Hoste did a reconnaissance of the course on Saturday. However the WorldTour race will start from Gistel, to the north-west of Gent, shortening the parcours by 45km.
Hoste met with teams on Saturday afternoon, announcing the changes.
With more snow forecast to fall from around 10pm on Saturday evening and with temperatures plummeting to around -3, a decision will be made on Sunday morning before the race over the inclusion of the two ascents of the Casselberg.
"We will not make the mistake of Milan-San Remo" Hoste told Nieuwsblad. "The health and safety of the riders have priority."

To The Readers Of The Metropolitan Corporate Counsel:
Your Provider Of CLE Created By In-House CounselFor In-House Counsel
Effective January 1, 2010, each attorney licensed to practice in New Jersey (including in-house counsel and those with a limited license) will be subject to a Continuing Legal Education ("CLE") requirement. Although the official parameters of this requirement are still being ironed out by the State Bar, I wanted to remind you that New Jersey Corporate Counsel Association ("NJCCA") is currently a certified provider of CLE in New York and that we fully expect to become a certified provider of CLE in New Jersey once the requirements are provided.
We hope that you will keep NJCCA in mind as your preferred CLE provider. Throughout the year, NJCCA provides an array of CLE opportunities, including a variety of half-day and full-day programs on substantive legal topics of interest to our members. NJCCA's full-day Annual Conference, held in September, is an easy and enjoyable way to obtain up to eight CLE credits in only one day and to keep abreast of cutting-edge developments in the law. Those of us licensed in New York know how hard it is to obtain mandatory ethics credits, which will also be a requirement of New Jersey's CLE regulations. We make sure that ethics credits are included in the Annual Conference.
In the coming months, you will likely be bombarded by advertisements by CLE providers seeking a foothold in this lucrative new market. How is NJCCA different from the rest? NJCCA is the only organization providing CLE created by in-house counsel expressly for New Jersey's in-house legal community. Our focus is on providing CLE that directly addresses the interests of the in-house legal community. We tap into the expertise of the outside legal community in partnership with experienced in-house counsel for our substantive panels, but we limit attendance at the conference to in-house counsel. In this way, we seek to maximize the value to our members. And, recognizing that many in-house counsel are subject to corporate budgetary restraints, we ensure that our programs are made available at a very affordable rate to our members.
You can learn more about NJCCA's CLE opportunities through the NJCCA's on-line monthly newsletter or, even better, by e-mailing or calling me.
Substantive continuing legal education programming is just one of the many benefits to your Association of Corporate Counsel, New Jersey Chapter membership (see www.acc.com).We look forward to seeing you at our programs this coming year.

Hey, bowhunters: Didn't get the buck of your dreams during the early archery season? Don't despair! The late-season can be great time for a bowhunter to get the drop on a monster buck. Here are some tips from veteran archers.
Best Time for Big Bucks
Editor's Note: The late Jeff Murray was a super bowhunter and woodsman whose skills and insights helped many hunters throughout the years. We believe his knowledge still is valuable and wanted to offer some of his thoughts on late-season hunting:
The post-rut is a unique and special time of the year. Without question, this is the best time to tag a high-end buck. For those with nerves of steel, use this time to go for the buck of your life. But it takes a lot of planning and you have to know the deer are there.
The most common mistake post-rut hunters make is giving up. You think the rut's all over, but about a week to 10 days later, the last few bucks go trolling. It's short-lived but can be explosive. Hang tight and be patient.
Now, here's the interesting part: You can have an area with no rut sign but still shoot the biggest buck because his core area might be a few miles away. The problem with looking for out-of-the way areas other hunters may have missed during the rut is you spend more time scouting than hunting. You can only know so much of a neck of woods. You may know five or six 40-acre hunting spots like the back of your hand, so that's where you should concentrate my efforts. Pick all your spots before the season starts.
SEE ALSO: Get the best dates, rut forecast and more in the 2016 DDH Calendar
A good strategy is to have two types of stands — primary stands and backup stands. No matter what time of the year it is, these stands will work. Primary stands are easy to get to. They are typically in connection areas or travel corridors. Of course, you don't want to walk through the areas deer are traveling, so you have to access these through the side.
These primary hunting spots work throughout the fall. The key at these stands is to preserve the element of surprise. You don't want deer to know you exist. You want them to think this is their world and no humans are there.
Secondary spots are spots you shouldn't have used at all. They are back-ups in case a primary doesn't work. No one has a plan that works every time. These spots are harder to get to because they're generally in thicker areas.
Back to the does. As the season progresses, does change their feeding habits. And they can make it very difficult for you when you're trying to hunt by food sources. But it's not a bad tactic if you are hunting in one-dimensional food habitats, such as agriculture.
Get ready for next season's food plots by starting now – Click Here!
The best way to hunt those areas is to get between doe bedding areas where bucks go from one doe bedding area to the next; as opposed to doe food sources, as they change so much. This forces you to be an expert on doe beds. Does always bed below bucks on the hillside. During the day, bucks will bed above does so they can smell them by licking thermal currents. Make sure you know which bedding area you are looking for — does or bucks.
Lastly, know your definition of a trophy buck. If you bigger deer are out there, hold out for them. But if the biggest buck in your area is a 130, don't be looking for a 150. The definition of a trophy buck is relative to the largest bucks in your area. It's always a great accomplishment to get one.
Late Season is Much Like Early Season
It's pretty simple: After the rut, my wife Tiffany and I go back to hunting the way we do during the early season. The stands we use for late season are the same stands we use during early season. During the rut, we concentrate more in timber and in bedding areas or between them. But our post-rut strategy takes us back to food plots.
I've set up more than 70 food plots, each one ranging from 1 acre up to 25 acres. It's a lot of food, and we've put a lot of time and money into our food plots. We've been here (in Iowa) for five years so most of the deer know where they're going to go to get food.We get probably deer from five miles around.
When I lived in Minnesota I shot a real nice one in December. The guy's land I was hunting on had some of his corn they harvested in spring. It was a no-brainer to set up near the corn stand. But the farmer rotated his crops so you never really knew exactly where the food was going to be year to year. With food plots, we always know where it's going to be, and the deer get used to it. In late season, we concentrate on our cornfields or clover fields. The food is always going to be in same spot and we pretty much know where it's going to be every year.
Throughout the entire year I use no scent. Especially in the post-rut season, you absolutely want to use no scent. It's not that I don't think some scent products don't work, but no scent is always 100 percent effective.
Plan Your Vacation Days to Hunt The Best Times of the Deer Season
During the late season, its seems like in the mornings the deer aren't at the food sources as much. Knowing this, we'll try and hunt their bedding areas in the mornings more. It seems like deer after the rut, are seen less during daylight hours and are found more in the timber in morning. During the evenings, the food source is where they're at. After the gun season, they get pushed around a lot more.
Tiffany and I both shot a couple of really big deer during late-season last year. I killed a buck one morning and Tiff shot one the next evening during the late muzzleloader season. If you see a good buck during the rut but don't get a good chance to shoot him, you'll catch him again later at the food source. If you've seen a giant deer in your cam pictures, but you didn't see him during the rut, your best chance of getting him is to hunt the late season.

Active outdoor lifestyle in BKK? (Bangkok)
....while working full-time, no less. Is it even possible?
I moved back here for about a year now. To me, the urban life is kinda fun and exciting for the first 3 months or so. But after 100s nights out while drinking what must have been my body weight in whiskey last year, I kinda miss being within 30 mins drive from mountain, river, ocean and forest.
All my local friends here are not really an outdoor type so the big city lifestyle fit them well. But I'm wondering what else is there to do in and around BKK that doesn't involve malls or nightclubs?

DuBose, who coached the Crimson Tide from 1997 to 2000, announced his resignation as head coach of Millsaps College in Jackson, Miss., on Thursday to take the position. He led Alabama to a first-place finish in the Southeastern Conference's West Division in 1999, but was dismissed after a 3-8 season in 2000. He joined Millsaps College as a defensive coordinator in 2005 and as head coach he led them to four straight first-place finishes in the Southern College Athletic Conference and two NCAA Division III playoff appearances.

Robots will build London offices sooner than you think, says leading developer5 October 2016 | By GCR Staff 2 Comments
The replacement of human construction workers by robots is just around the corner, according to the head of one of the UK's largest developers.
Alison Carnwath, the chair of Land Securities, told the Institute of Directors last week that the industry was on the cusp of a technological revolution brought by advances in technologies such as robotics, unmanned vehicles and additive printing, as well as more general industrial control systems.
"Five years ago, I'd have smiled wryly if somebody had said to me that robots would be able to put up buildings in the City of London," she said, reported newspaper The Daily Telegraph. "I tell you we're not that far off, and that has huge implications."
The benefits of this revolution would not be shared equally, however. She added: "Businesses are focusing on productivity, they want to re-engineer how their people can work, they recognise that technology is upon us and is going to destroy thousands of jobs."
"I tell you we're not that far off, and that has huge implications"– Alison Carnwath, Land Securities
Land Securities is the largest commercial property development and investment company in the UK, with an annual turnover of £8.2bn. The interest of such a powerful client in automated building is likely to concentrate minds among the industry's consulting engineers and its larger contractors.
The construction industry has long been an amalgamation of sophisticated design and engineering techniques and "biblical" trades that have not changed greatly for thousands of years. The advent of specialist and general purpose construction bots may now make it possible to automate this second category, or even merge it with the first in the way that CAD/CAM systems work in factories.
Some robots can perform repetitive, but skilled, manual jobs such as laying bricks. One model, called Hadrian, can lay 1,000 bricks an hour, working day and night, and could theoretically build as many as 150 homes a year.
Other units can move around a site and build non-standard designs. A robot designed by the Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research last year can move around a site and use computer algorithms to perform "non-standard" construction tasks.
Meanwhile, driverless vehicle technology has begun to have an impact on site logistics, and robots that make curtain walling systems in factories, and clean them on finished buildings, may eventually fit them to those buildings when they are erected.
Another concept that is under development is "swarm building": self-organising robots that mimic the behaviour of social insects and cooperate on large-scale building project.

We live in an industrialised situation where the use of robotics is steadily gaining pace in order to achieve a competitive economic advantage in the markets of our world! However the downside is of course steadily growing levels of unemployment on a global scale! Yet our industry has a huge safety net against such a worldwide trend! I am referring to the massive untapped potential of the various levels and types of the renewal work on all but the latest of buildings of all kinds! I am sure that many firms who wish to retain long term and highly skilled craftsmen have long since developed in this direction! Yet I am strongly convinced that there remains a huge untapped demand in this direction in great need of such specialised forms of service!Mr Jose' Scalabrino MCIOB | Posted: October 5th 2016
This is exciting but labour is less important in the future for construction which is away from traditions. The trend happened in other industries just a bit slow for construction. It is worth heading towards pathways like innovation, quality control, management, ethics and sustainability.Tin-Chee | Posted: November 4th 2016

On Belle Glade`s Torry Island, high-class accommodations have never been anything more than a new RV or mobile home.
But now the owners of a fish camp want to cram 209 condominium apartments onto 5.2 acres of the island, land inside the flood-control dikes that surround Lake Okeechobee.
Torry Island may be Florida`s final frontier in condominium development.
``With the condos on the coast, you look out and all you see are other condos, concrete and cars. Here, there is a pair of osprey that nest down the road, and otters swimming in the canals and alligators. We have a multitude and abundance of nature,`` said Jim Challancin, who co-owns the J-Mark Fish Camp with his brother.
The Challancins plan to keep the existing marina and add a restaurant, lounge and swimming pool -- and 40 condominium units per ace.
The site is near the rickety one-lane wooden bridge that connects the levee -- formally known as the Herbert Hoover Dike -- to the island.
But standing between the Challancins and their dream is the South Florida Water Management District`s governing board, which must rule Thursday on the brothers` permit application for a storm water runoff control system.
The district staff has recommended denial of the permit, but not because of the ability of the proposed drainage system to retain runoff from a storm. The district staff said it could not provide flood protection to the proposed development in a major storm.
Given existing elevations of unpaved roads to the project, the roadways could be under as much 10 feet of water during a hurricane, district officials said.

I once heard that even the best swimmers spend 92% of their energy overcoming the drag of the water leaving 8% to actually going fast. Most swim coaches spend tons of time and effort instilling the value of good technique to their swimmers and rightfully so. Technique is crucial. But sometimes you have to just go fast to get faster and work on pushing the upper parts of the throttle. Doing Speed sets in the water will not only help your swim get faster but it will help the crucial times at the start to get out ahead of everyone else.
Do these workouts one to two times per week for six to eight weeks and you'll be crushing the competition time and time again.
400 mix stroke; 10 x 50 kick fast with board and fins on :30 rest; 2×200 pull moderate effort on :10 rest; repeat the following three times through (4 x 50 sprint on 1:20 then 100 super easy); 300 pull easy; 400-1000 cooldown
300-1000 warmup by doing 100 drill then 100 free; 3 x 300 kick with board and fins going fast one length then easy one length on :30 ri; 3 x 250 pull breathing 50 every stroke then 50 every third stroke on :30 ri; repeat four times through (3 x 100 at 90% effort then 50 super easy with :45 rest); 400-1000 cooldown
Train fast, race faster.

BBM for Android tipped to be hitting beta testers again
If there's one thing that BlackBerry can't be faulted for, it is for being persistent. The company is reportedly rolling out another beta version of its delayed BlackBerry Messenger for Android app for beta testers to test ahead of a new, and hopefully final, release date.
At this point, it is difficult to ascertain whether there are still people eagerly awaiting the arrival of the app. That may be the case, if BlackBerry's reasons for the postponed release of the app, which was set to launch last September 21, are to be believed. According to the company, a buggy, unauthorized pre-release version of the app preempted their launch and was quickly installed on almost a million devices, making any attempt to compensate for the data traffic and the bugs almost impossible.
Needless to say, the company, which has been acquired by Fairfax Financial for around $4.7 billion, put the launch of the app on hold indefinitely. Now there are reports that a new version of the app is reaching select beta testers. This updated app sports a few visible changes, including a polished user interface, a new welcome screen, and notification settings.
There is still no news of a new release date, though this movement is probably enough to give some sign of life. There is no question, since it said so itself, that BlackBerry is committed to still bring BBM to Android and iPhone. The real question is whether it will still make a difference by then.

Gran Fondo events offer the best of both worlds in the arduous sport of cycling. You can choose to race with some serious cyclists and go for time points or you can enjoy a large group ride in a scenic area. Both of these give you the opprotunity to do what you love- miles upon miles of splendid leg rotations. Another great element of Gran Fondo events is there's a distance for everyone. But, no matter what the distance is you have to train for it. What happens if your friend, training partner, significant other or employer signs you up for one of these calorie burning spectacles and conveniently leaves you with just 4-6 weeks to get fit? Well assuming you have some cycling in your legs just follow my Eleven Gran Fondo Cycling Training Tips below to ensure you're ready at the start line.
- Make sure your bike is tuned up and in good condition. No matter what type of bike you ride you'll want to ensure the tires are in good shape, the chain is lubed and not stretched and the brakes work without any issues
- Get a bike fit. You're going to be on your steed for a long time so get a professional fitter to look at your bike fit. Make sure they look at the foot/shoe/pedal relationship and communicate to them anywhere you have aches or pains while riding
- Select which distance is correct for you. If your longest weekly rides are 20-30 miles than jumping to 62 or 100 miles is not where your fitness is at. You can fudge with your fitness level only so much. If you're within 5-10 miles of your longest ride than go for the longer distance. So if you ride 45-50 miles once a week and have a few of these in the bag than go for the 62 miler.
- Always spend the first and last 5-10 minutes in the small chainring to warm up and cool down your legs
- To improve your endurance aim to increase your weekly cycling time by 10-15%. This will help you build up in a smart fashion and with a lower probability for over use injuries
- For any ride over 50 minutes have a carbohydrate drink with you and aim to drink 10-12 ounces per hour
- For any rides in the 2-3 hour timeframe aim for the fluids outlined above plus 1-2 energy gels. Gels or gummy type chews absorb quickest in the body and don't require as much blood to be shifted from the working muscle groups to the digestive system. Leave the solid foods for before and after the race
- Aim to ride four times each week with one of the rides being your longest ride where you'll average a heart rate under 145 beats per minute
- To build cycling specific leg strength aim to get in some 4-5 minute pieces in a heavy gear at 60-70 rpm' with equal amounts of rest between pieces
- Aim to average 90-100 RPM's on your daily rides
- To ride better you have to ride more. Tour de France winner and World Champion Eddy Merckx once asked how to to become a better cyclist. He simply stated, "Ride lots!"

UVK staat voor Ultra Virus Killer, maar dat dekt de lading niet helemaal, want dit programma kan veel meer dan alleen virussen en malware verwijderen. Met UVK kunnen namelijk ook diverse Windows-problemen worden verholpen, met bijvoorbeeld processen, drivers of de met Windows meestartende programma's. Voor het scannen van de computers wordt gebruikgemaakt van externe programma's als Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, SuperAntiSpyware en HitmanPro, wat meteen de download van slechts ongeveer 5MB verklaart. Het programma is echter niet aan te bevelen voor de beginnende gebruiker en is in die zin vergelijkbaar met D7. Sinds de vorige vermelding in de Meuktracker zijn de volgende veranderingen doorgevoerd:
Changes in version 2.6.0:
- General internal debugging and improvement.
- Renamed the UVK fixes section UVK system repair
- Removed the old UVK system repair section, replacing it by a new section: UVK tools. This new section is divided in three sub-sections:
- File tools: Allows to select a file and perform several actions: Display all sorts of info on the file, get the file's MD5 VirusTotal hash report, grant and deny access to the file, get more info on the file over the internet, and delete the file.
- Registry tools: Mostly the same as above, but for a registry key, instead of a file.
- System restore management: Allows to perform several diferent tasks related to the system restore: Enumerate the existing restore points, Select and delete one or several restore points, create restore points, enable or disable the system restore.
- Added a new feature: UVK running password protection. Requested by several users. The password can be set in the UVK options section. This option is only available for the users who have bought the UVK branding key.
- Added a new option to the Toggle Enable/Disable combo box: System restore.
- Added two more custom commands: and . Also add them to the Insert(3) Log analyzer's menu.
- Added a new scan section: . It's the list of the most recently run programs. Added to the Startup entries and services, and the Scan and create log sections.
- Create a method for updating the urls for Mbam, SAS, HitmanPro, Java, Flash, DirectX and .Net without needing to update the application.
- Updated the Mbam latest version check.
- Updated the VirusTotal file MD5 hash report.
- Removed the AutoUpdate.exe file from the project. The automatic updates are now done through the main application (UVK_en.exe).
- Added a new fix: Fix the SubSystems registry key. Also available from a UVK script with the command .
- Updated the Hitman Pro automatic scan for the version 3.6.
- Updated the Repair script options in the Automatic anti-malware scans section. Now it includes more than 30 fixes that can be executed after the third party applications scans.
- Also added the option to choose the path where the logs will be moved to and to select all the fixes, none, or revert to the default selection.
- Updated the UVK fixes section, Now all the fixes in the System repair section have been added to the fixes list. As you may guess, I'm planning to remove the System repair section in the next version, replacing it with a new section with new features. Just wait and see :).
- Increased the height of the UVK fixes list view, and separated the fixes in several sections, for a better view.
- Automated the installation of the Microsoft Fixit Center. Now it's done with no user interaction.
- Updated the Insert full system repair script feature in the Run UVK scripts section and in the Log analyzer
- Now it has more fixes, some of them recent.

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) — The number of foreclosure filings in March fell to the lowest level since July 2007, according to a report from RealtyTrac, released on Thursday.
Filings, which include default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions, dropped 4%, compared with February, the company said. They fell 17%, compared with a year ago.

But that doesn't mean that the large supply of distressed properties has "miraculously evaporated," the company's chief executive said.
"There are hairline cracks in the dam, evident in the sizable foreclosure activity increases in judicial foreclosure states over the past several months, along with an increase in foreclosure starts in many judicial and nonjudicial states in March," Brandon Moore, chief executive officer of RealtyTrac, said in a news release.
"The dam may not burst in the next 30 to 45 days," he said, "but it will eventually burst, and everyone downstream should be prepared for that to happen — both in terms of new foreclosure activity and new short sale activity."
In March, foreclosure filings were reported on 198,853 U.S. properties. Total monthly filings haven't been below 200,000 since July 2007.
But first-time foreclosure starts rose 7% in March, compared with the month before, marking a three-month increase, according to RealtyTrac. Foreclosure starts include default notices or scheduled foreclosure auctions, depending on the foreclosure process in the state.
The time that it takes to complete the foreclosure process rose during the first quarter: Nationally, it took an average 370 days to complete the process, up from 348 in the previous quarter.
Yet foreclosure timelines are shrinking in some key states, according to the report. In California, it took an average 320 to complete the process in the first quarter, down from 352 days in the fourth quarter of 2011. The average time also fell in Colorado, Utah, Massachusetts, Nevada, Michigan and Maryland.

Happy trails for all
Signposts take walkers everywhere and deter other modes of transport
- |
CHUR, Switzerland -- It was a typical outing on a pleasant Sunday afternoon in Chur, the oldest city in Switzerland and the capital of its largest canton, Graubünden. Friends and I took a cable car and gondola up Brambrüesch Mountain and then hiked across a hillside for several hours, following meandering routes through fields of heidelberries and along ridges with sweeping views of the Alps. The clinking of cowbells rang out across the valley and the spicy scent of alpine herbs hung in the air.
After a refreshing drink in a mountain hamlet accessible only by foot or chairlift, we ended the excursion with a high-speed toboggan run (on a metal track) down to a village in the valley and caught a public bus back to the city, a total loop of about 15 miles.
Not every hike ends with a 1.9-mile plunge down a mountain on what is considered the world's longest toboggan run, where you drop 1,500 feet in just seven to 10 minutes. One of the most extensive signposted trail networks in the world made it possible for us to do it without getting lost.
The SwitzerlandMobility program, launched last year, has incorporated standardized, easy-to-read signposts throughout the country for local, regional, and national routes. The network covers more than 12,000 miles of land and water routes: 3,914 miles of trails for hikers; 5,281 miles for road bikers; 2,050 miles for mountain bikers; 683.5 miles for inline skaters; and 250 miles for canoeists. Routes are typically numbered and color-coded based on the sport - green for hiking, red for mountain biking, and so on - with the exception of some local routes that use red-and-white striped markers.
"We developed SwitzerlandMobility for three reasons," Fredi von Gunten, chief executive officer of the organization, explained. "To advance the idea of human-powered mobility as an important contribution to [people's] health, to show people the most beautiful places in Switzerland without motorized vehicles, and, last but not least, to protect the environment."
These trails are linked to thousands of miles of public transportation options, from electric trains to fuel-efficient buses and other green alternatives. All of these routes existed, but outdoors enthusiasts had to consult many guidebooks, websites, or visitors bureaus to piece together route information. Now, information for all of the network's routes is posted on SwitzerlandMobility's new website, SwitzerlandMobility.ch. Choose your sport and you can look up routes in any of the country's 26 cantons, selecting day or multiday trips and picking your preferred conditions (easy, medium, difficult, or "unimportant").
For each route, you typically will find a trail description and difficulty rating, a printable topographic map, a timetable for local transportation options, lodging recommendations, signpost information, notable facts about towns or sites along the route, and even a trail profile, which shows elevation loss and gain over the miles. Bike routes include information on rentals and shops, and canoe routes list local canoe clubs and rental information, if available.
Or, you can use an interactive map that gives a big-picture, at-a-glance look at the trails nationwide, with short route descriptions and overviews. This helped me narrow the field and choose a particular region to visit.
I headed for Chur (pronounced coor), a city I had passed through on previous visits but had never explored. It serves as the ideal base camp, sitting at the crossroads of several big motorways and train junctions, and offering easy access to world-renowned ski and outdoor havens like Davos, St. Moritz, and Klosters. The stunning Lenzerheide Valley, where I had gone on the hiking and tobogganing loop, was just south of the city and offered miles of hiking and mountain biking trails.
My second day in Chur, two friends and I rented bikes from the train station, took a PostBus 20 minutes up the valley (virtually all buses in Switzerland have bike racks on the back), and did a 20-mile bicycle loop from the village of Valbella to the sleepy, white-washed village of Lain. En route, we pedaled on wide dirt roads along mountainsides, down paved bike paths beside Lake Heidsee, and through small villages and residential areas, following the number 602 bike route and other numbered markers along the way.
Although the routes were well marked, we had a little trouble staying on track because we didn't understand an important trail-marker rule: If you're following a mountain bike route, like the 602, you will not find a marker at every intersection, junction, or bend in the road. When you see a sign, you follow it and continue in the same direction until you come upon another signpost later in the route.
Several bikers on a PostBus the next day persuaded me that navigating the bike routes wasn't as tricky as I thought. Robert and Margaret Bauneister, in their late 50s, were biking from their home in Basel in north-central Switzerland to Venice, a journey of about 620 miles that they planned to complete in three weeks.
"The bike trails are all marked and very easy to follow," said Robert Bauneister, who confirmed that you stick to the same route until a sign tells you to change direction.
Thankfully, the signposting was never unclear on our next adventure which took us into the remote area of eastern Switzerland near the borders of Austria and Italy. On this two-day trip, we hiked from the village of Samnaun to an alpine hut a day's walk away and then back down into another valley on the other side of a mountain ridge, a total of about 16 miles.
Only one road leads to Samnaun. It is narrow and often littered with pebbles and rocks, and it has hairpin turns and views of plunging drop-offs to the valleys below. Bus drivers-in-training on this hair-raising route must observe an experienced driver for three to six months before getting behind the wheel. When you pass through one rocky, chiseled-out tunnel en route, you understand why: The bus must come to a stop inside the tunnel and then inch its way around a 90-degree turn to make it through.
By the time you reach the tiny village of Samnaun, you feel like you have landed in another country: Residents speak a unique German dialect, there are no chain hotels, and it's so removed from the rest of Switzerland, it's had tax-free status since 1892. Despite its far-flung location, the area has more than 150 miles of hiking trails and 50 miles of mountain bike routes, all of which have the standardized SwitzerlandMobility markers.
For our final adventure, we followed the green number 23 markers and crossed several 8,000-foot passes, dipping briefly into Austria. The route took us through open fields with goats and stands of larch trees and across barren scree fields on dirt-packed trails. At each trail junction and pass, we found an assortment of SwitzerlandMobility signs that kept us on track.
We spent the night at the Heidelberger Hütte, an alpine lodge that sits in a valley overshadowed by jagged ridges and 10,000-foot peaks and where the chef served a mouthwatering meat fondue.
We continued on Route 23 the next day, climbing out of the Fimbertal Valley and over a 7,800-foot pass and then dropping down into a lush green valley still being carved out by a river thousands of feet below. After a steady descent that took us through the hamlet of Griosch, we left Route 23 behind and followed local trails to our end point, a Dutch-run lodge with a welcoming cafe.
"Some more wishes you have?" the waiter said, as I took a sip of Rivella, a popular Swiss carbonated drink that's sweet and syrupy.
"Only that I could stay here longer," I replied.

India 259 for 2 (Gambhir 138*, Kohli 64) beat New Zealand 258 for 8 (Guptill 70, Styris 59, Sreesanth 4-47) by eight wickets
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
How they were out
Gautam Gambhir's bowlers responded well to his call of bowling first, restricting New Zealand with smart, accurate bowling, and the captain reciprocated with a fluent 138 off 116 balls to make the chase look easy.
Gambhir, capping off a return to form that began with a struggling Test fifty in Hyderabad last month, never let his strike-rate come under 100 once he crossed the mark in the sixth over. He had for company an equally hungry Virat Kohli, who now has two centuries and a fifty in his last three international outings.
Dew, expected later in the evening, was the reason why India put New Zealand in on a cracking surface, but the towels were conspicuous by absence in the second half of the game. Which is what made the bowling effort special.
The pitch played slow and low, and India cut out the pace and the room. There was nothing spectacular done with the ball, just accurate, wicket to wicket bowling for most of the part. Martin Guptill and Scott Styris tried to take New Zealand towards a fighting total with important fifties, but India pulled the visitors back every time they threatened to break free.
New Zealand began with three boundaries in the first two overs, but Sreesanth's late swing removed Jamie How. Guptill and Kane Williamson looked solid but subdued in a 50-run stand for the second wicket. Those runs took 12.5 overs coming - all but seven of those deliveries in the Powerplay.
The duo did little to upset the bowlers' rhythm. Munaf Patel was allowed to hit the same spot again and again, with slight seam movement either way. One of those moved a bit more than expected, and found a way through Williamson's bat and pad, taking the top of off. The pressure showed when Ross Taylor went to hit Yusuf Pathan's first delivery for a six, but found deep midwicket.
Styris came out in the 25th over with the score yet to reach three figures, and cut out the unproductive balls, taking singles with ease and finding timely boundaries. When he and Guptill asked for the Powerplay in the 35th over, R Ashwin responded with a carrom balls to remove Guptill. That set New Zealand back by a couple of overs.
Styris and Daniel Vettori had to take some time set up another charge, but Sreesanth pegged them back again. Like he did in the first match of the series, Sreesanth came back for a new spell in the 46th over, and took two wickets with his first two deliveries. He ended a threatening ninth-wicket partnership in the last game, and got rid of Styris and Vettori this time.
New Zealand opened their defence with Nathan McCullum, presumably to get through some overs of spin before dew appeared, and immediately troubled M Vijay, who struggled to come to terms with the slowness of the pitch.
Gambhir, however, was playing in a different world. He timed almost everything sweetly except for a couple of inside edges that went for fours. Against Kyle Mills, he walked down the pitch on a couple of occasions to create the driving length. When Mills pitched slightly short, he cut him away. The driving between mid-off and extra cover stood out.
By the end of the eighth over, Gambhir had scored four times Vijay's eight, taking India to 40, and putting Mills out of the attack. Against Styris he made room and went over extra cover. Andy McKay strayed too straight, and was clipped for four into the leg side. There was not a hint of power; the short back lift emphasised how well he timed the ball.
Vijay continued his patchy innings until he tried a premeditated slog-sweep off Vettori in the 18th over, and was bowled. Gambhir, though, had reached 54 off 48 by then, out of India's 87, and looked set to carry India through. A crucial moment came in the 22nd over when Gambhir's bat got stuck into the ground as he tried to slide it in, but Vettori failed to collect the throw cleanly and Gambhir was let off.
Every time Gambhir needed quick runs, he made room and went over extra cover. Kohli batted like he was never dismissed in Guwahati, pulling powerfully wide of long-on, and punching square for most of his runs. Over by over, the 116-run partnership brought the asking rate down, until it read 4.3 for the last 13 overs when Kohli found short midwicket with a pull shot.
It was a distraught batsman that left the wicket, 36 short of a third straight century, which was possible with 56 still required. His captain and a senior back in Delhi, though, was there to see India home and continue their unbeaten home season.

Definitely. I know because one day I was digging a hole with a backhoe and when I got done I stepped off and went to the edge of the hole to look in and I slipped and fell. By the time I hit the bottom I was going real fast and when I was at the top I was going slow.

|Jonathan Miller says the challenge of running AOL is 'hugely exciting.'
"I want to absorb as much as I can, meet the people here, understand them and get my arms around this business, which is hugely exciting," Mr. Miller told AdAge.com today.
Critical juncture
While America Online's new chief executive has run successful online subscription-based properties at USA Interactive, he takes the reins of the online unit of AOL Time Warner at a critical juncture: Subscriber growth has dropped off, the transition to broadband remains sketchy, and ad revenue is still soft. The online unit also is preparing the launch of AOL 8.0 in early October and trying to repair relationships with advertisers -- all while cooperating with federal investigators looking into its accounting practices.
"I'm going in and I reserve the right to learn. ... But I believe we need to be very product-focused;
Doesn't get broadband
Regading broadband, Mr. Miller said that even in his upscale neighborhood outside New York City he's been unable to get broadband Internet access. "As a consumer, I love broadband, I can't wait for it to become prevalent and I'm going to have to wait."
He hinted that AOL would likely have highly segmented service offerings in the future -- broadband and dial-up, as well as new premium subscription offerings.
Mr. Miller and his boss, Don Logan, chairman of AOL Time Warner's Media and Communications Group, said they are assessing the talent within the AOL ranks before importing any other new executives.
"The first order of business is to continue to keep AOL the most successful interactive brand in the world and to continue to grow its profit and get rid of all the negative impressions and feelings that exist out there," Mr. Logan said. "AOL is highly profitable and performing well, but the business model upon which it's built needs to change. We need to shift the business model to adjust to changes in the marketplace. Jon's mission is to get [AOL] growing again, as quickly as possible."
AOL has seen its profitability slump as revenue growth slides. In the six months ended June 30, AOL reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or Ebidta, of $906 million vs. $1.5 billion for the same period last year. Even at $906 million however, AOL contributed more to Ebidta than such sibling units as Time Inc. or AOL Time Warner's TV networks business.
As for how to keep profits from hemorrhaging: "It can be achieved in a variety of ways, through segmentation [of services and products], growth in [subscriber] numbers, even in some decline of numbers, but I don't anticipate it. The key lever is subscriber profitability," Mr. Miller said.

NARA – Prologue and Prologue: Pieces of History
Prologue is a magazine that has been published four times a year by
since 1969. It has been found that this is not enough opportunity for the National Archives to share the billions of "pieces of history" it holds. NARA
Because of that, since April there has been a blog, Prologue: Pieces of History. It caught my eye recently with a post titled "A hot dog for the King" (which I learned about from a Facebook post). This blog entry talks about the visit of King George VI, in June 1939, to
where he experienced an American-style picnic. This blog entry then links to a more detailed account (and photos) of the visit on the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum site. It was easy and fun to follow the link from the initial post to a slightly more detailed one and then another link to an even more indepth version. Hyde Park NY
As described by the National Archives …
"As the National Archives' flagship publication, Prologue brings you the latest "discoveries" from the vast holdings of the Archives—more than 10 billion pages of records, miles and miles of tape and film, and a growing number of electronic records.
Every day, new material is uncovered by archivists and others on the
NARA staff as well as by independent researchers, historians, journalists, lawyers, and other government officials—and Prologue brings you the most important of these new "discoveries."
Prologue also keeps its readers up to date on the many educational, museum, and outreach programs of the National Archives Experience, the Foundation for the National Archives, the regional archives, affiliated archives, and Presidential libraries in 17 states around the country."
This is a great publication. Though it's focus is not ge
nealogy-specific, every edition contains discussion of a record group which is relevant to ge nealogy research. The Fall edition included these articles:
"A Soldier of the Revolution"
"Census Schedule for Americans Living Overseas"
"In Freedoms Shadow" (Civil War)
"Operation Blissful" (World War II)
Select articles from each edition are available on the web-site for you to read. You will need to subscribe to the print ($24) or digital (see below) versions to enjoy the full contents. Addtionally, the website has an archive of the table of contents of past issues (1997 to present) and selected articles (1975 to 2010).
Because so many great articles have been published about the various records groups and document types held by
NARA, just about anytime I come across a type of Federal document "new to me," I will find one or more Prologue articles which will provide context for my research.
And, I have learned that not only does Prologue have a website presence, Facebook presence and a blog, it can also be found on Scribd and Zinio. You will find a bit more of the content available for download on Scribd (though not the entire publication) or you can subscribe to a digitial version via Zinio (1 year for $19.99) or purchase digital copies of older issues (all issues produced in 2010 are available for $5.99).
With all of these ways to access the content of Prologue, there is no longer an excuse to miss out on this great
NARA publication.

iPhone X Vs. iPhone 8 – What Is New?
Apple announced and released three new iPhones (iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X, which is also pronounced iPhone Ten) at its special event that took place on September 12th this year. If you are looking to upgrade your iPhone, then chances are that you are wondering which model is the best for you.
If you are looking for a bigger screen, then you have to choose between iPhone 8 Plus, which has the biggest screen size and iPhone X, which has a moderate screen size. At the same time, you have to weigh up the cost of iPhone X against the heavier iPhone 8 plus.
If you are not a fun of large handsets, then you can choose between iPhone 8 and iPhone X. This is because these two models are smaller and lighter compared to iPhone plus Models. On the other hand, you may be impressed by the new iPhone X features, but wondering if you really need to pay more than $1,000; or will the iPhone 8 give you the features you are looking for.
Below we have reviewed iPhone X and iPhone 8 while highlighting each phone's strong points. The aim is to help you identify the best iPhone for you.
Display, Weight, And Dimension Specifications
Truly, there is only one place to begin when comparing phones; the outer part (what you can see). This simply means comparing dimensions, screen display, weight, and other physical parts. Well, even though this is the case, it is important to know that both the iPhone X and iPhone 8 run using iOS 11.
• iPhone 8
This phone is available in three different colors; Space Grey, Silver, and Gold. Apple iPhone 8 dimensions are 67.3 X 138.4 X 7.3 mm and weigh 148 g. It comes with a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, offering 16.9 true tones, with a 1334 X 750 pixels; 326 PPI LCD screen. This device has a 65.6% screen to body ratio.

Camera and Video Recording
It is a fact that the use of the phone camera has increased greatly. Actually, people use phone cameras more than ordinary cameras. Therefore, if you love taking photos and selfies, it is important to look at iPhone X and iPhone 8 capabilities.
• iPhone 8
iPhone 8 comes with a 12 Megapixel, f/1.8 rear camera. The camera has a 5X digital zoom and a quad-LED flash. The front camera is a 7 megapixel, f/2.2 HD camera. It does support 1080p video. The phone has a high-quality video recording. It supports 4K at 24/30/60fps. Another feature is that a person can record videos at slo-mo of 1080p at 240 fps.
• iPhone X
iPhone X has a 12 Megapixel, f/1.8 wide-angle rear camera. It features OIS optical zoom, OIS + 12-megapixel telephoto, Portrait model and portrait lighting. It does also include quad-LED flash. iPhone X does also include a 7 megapixel, f/2.2 face time HD front camera. It does support 1080p video. Just like iPhone 8, iPhone X has the same video recording features.
Processor, Storage, And Security
Both iPhone X and iPhone 8 use Apple A11 Bionic, M11 co-processors. In addition to this, these phones are available in both 64 GB and 256 GB storage. However, when it comes to biometric security, they differ slightly. Apple iPhone 8 supports Touch ID whereas iPhone X supports Face ID.
Other Features:
Both smartphones support wireless charging and feature waterproof technology.
It is quite clear that the Apple iPhone X is better than the Apple iPhone 8 because it has a few unique features. The only limitation is that you will be required to pay more for iPhone X (iPhone 10) than iPhone 8. Stay tuned for the latest updates here for the best lifehacks, reviews, and resources on Apple and computer technology. Which iPhone is the most popular? A company such as Absolute Summit can help you find out.

Physical Real Virtual and Logical Memory
December 28th, 2008
Memory discussion is more useful when we discuss address spaces associated with memory. The system has physical memory. The physical memory blocks are combined together to provide real memory to the system. The physical memory blocks are handled by kernel VMM (Virtual Memory Manager). The kernel VMM manages address translations.
The memory is categorized in four types:
- Physical Memory.
- Real Memory.
- Virtual Memory.
- Logical Memory.
Now, I discuss the types of memory one by one.
Physical Memory
The physical memory is the memory available in the system in the form of memory cards in various slots of system. The physical address space is associated with this type of memory. The Physical address space across the all the memory cards is handled by kernel VMM.
Real Memory
The Real Memory is same as Physical memory if the system is non-partitioned. But if the system is partitioned then these two types are different. Now this memory acts as physical memory for that particular partition and the address space will be different for all the partitions with in the same system.
Logical Memory
The Logical Memory comes into picture only when the system is partitioned. The operating systems like AIX, Linux etc have the following requirements:
- The address space should start from zero.
- The address space should be contiguous.
The Logical memory concept supports both of these. The logical memory represents non-contiguous memory in the form of contiguous memory.
The following benefits are achieved:
- The partition is isolated and secured from physical memory address space.
- It simplifies the monitoring of partitions by POWER Hypervisor.
Virtual Memory
Sometimes the memory available for operating systems is not enough to carry out all the processes. So, operating system uses the disk space as memory. Thus operating system is tricked to think that it has more memory than it actually has. Some of the virtual memory is mapped to the physical memory and rest is divided by page size (often 4kB). These pages are mapped to the disk blocks. The address translation is handled by kernel VMM.
Now to clarify all of the above terms I take very simple example:
Suppose there are 6 cards of 10 MB each. So, total memory is: 6X10 = 60MB.
Lets say we have three partitions A, B, C with respective memories assigned as 16, 24, 20 MB. Now we have following data:
Total Physical Memory: 60MB.
Let's say 1MB shows 10
Address Range Represented by VMM
Card A
Card B
Card C
Memory Assigned
Real Memry Address Range
Logical Memory Address Range
Partition A
Partition B
Partition C

Now, I'll be discussing some other operations on Physical Volumes like listing Physical Volumes, Logical Volumes on Physical Volumes, Physical Partitions allocations etc. For more information you can see the previous article: Aix Logical Volume Manager A Brief Introduction.
File Systems In AIX-A Primer
Generally talking, the File Systems are collection of files, directories etc. within a single partition or Logical Volume in a Volume Group. Collecting files and directories from different Logical Volumes or Partitions does not qualify to be named as File System. Aix supports mainly three types of File Systems: JFS, NFS and CDRFS. All these are being discussed here in this article. For more information you can see the previous article: Aix Logical Volume Manager A Brief Introduction
Logical Volume In AIX A Primer
Users can not access directly, the disk space available on Physical Volumes with in Volume Group. In order to access the space available, the users and applications need to access File Systems which are created on Logical Volumes. Therefore to manage Physical Volume space you need to manage Logical Volumes. For more information you can see the previous article: Aix Logical Volume Manager A Brief Introduction….

AIX Logical Volume Manager A Brief Introduction
The storage in Aix can be divided in two layers: Physical and Logical.
On physical level the two things come into picture:
1. Physical Volume(PV).
2. Physical Partition(PP).
On logical level the storage is divided in three parts:
1. Logical Partition(LP).
2. Logical Volume(LV).
3. Volume Group(VG).
Physical Volume In AIX – A Primer
Physical Volume in AIX is a hard drive with special characteristics which are useful for LVM(Logical Volume Control). So, if any hard drive is to be used for LVM purpose, it needs to be made as Physical Volume. Physical Volume has several properties which differentiate it from normal hard drive. These are listed as below…

HMC is a Linux based desktop PC workstation which is dedicated to a number of pSeries servers. It's is used to manage LPARs. There can be several LPARs or a single full partition on physical pSeries server system…
Dynamically changing LPARs (Video)
The biggest benefit for LPARs is that they can be managed online. The CPU, Memory and adapters can be allocated on the spot without downtime, offcourse due care has to be taken. The process is also referred to as DLPAR. DLPAR is nothing but a daemon which runs on server. The name of the process is IBM.drm. Without this DLPAR is not possible, so far as I know.

Difference between LPAR and VIO Server
VIO server is a special case of LPAR. In this the IOs are all virtual and provided to the partitions on VIO Server. Means IO slots, CPUs and Memory are all virtual. So, how is this done?
CC, CAPP, LSPP and EAL4+
If a system is evaluated according to CC, then it will remain valid only till the specific hardware/software configuration of the system is unchanged. Making any changes to the configuration brings the system in non evaluated state. That simply means that system
