1″ Parafilm Grafting Tape
If you are not familiar with Parafilm grafting tape, it is a waxy tape that sticks well to itself. A small piece can be stretched and wrapped around a graft very quickly with impressive results. It holds the graft firm and keeps water and bugs out. Buds will push straight through the tape as they grow and it breaks down on its own as the tree grows so there is no need to cut the tape away. This tape is used in nurseries all over the world and most nurserymen swear by it.
The 1″ tape is useful for strong grafts such as those used in top working and frame working as it holds the grafts nice and tight. The 1″ tape can also cut into thinner strips if you only occasionally need to use the 1/2″ tape.
This tape comes 6 rolls to a box, far more than most people need so you have the option to buy the rolls individually or by the box.

From the Oxford dictionary, we read that a "Manifesto" is a "public declaration of policy and aims" and that the origin of the term comes from the Latin "manifestus" that means "to make public".
Over the course of history, many different Manifestos have been signed to publicly state causes deemed important: new arts movements (e.g. the Futurist Manifesto or the Surrealist Manifesto), political ideologies (e.g. the Anarchist Manifesto or the October Manifesto) and even related to technologies (e.g. the Manifesto for Agile Software Development). It was a simple way to get together and state, loud and clear: "This is something we believe in".
In the world of increasing pollution levels, disappearing glaciers and endangered animal species we live in today, the Leo4Green Manifesto wants to be – first and foremost – the Leo way of declaring our intention to make our planet a better place.
The Manifesto is articulated in four key areas of actions: Water, Plants, Animal and Air. Each section indicates some possible service activities through which the signing club can take an active part to the activity, like planting trees or collecting food for animal shelters, but the possibilities are endless.
There is not one way to make the world better and, as also true in our European context, what can be the best service activity for one Country or a specific area, might not be the best for another. Leo4Green motivates each Club to go out in their communities and respond to the local needs as best as they can.
It is said that the world, out there, is thirsty for help and most get discouraged saying that a small single drop will never satisfy that thirst. But droughts are solved by rain and rain is nothing but an ensemble of small little drops.
Leo4Green embodies this spirit: each single green activity might appear small by itself, but adding them up – one by one – gives us that desperately needed rain. It unites European Leos against Environmental Issues.
How to join our green storm? Talk with your Club and agree to join the activity: then download the Manifesto from the European Leos website and follow the instructions and start being green in your own way! We are waiting for you!

This is a project proposal which has been bubbling away for a while. I have now had three meetings with different council officials who are clearly interested in the idea but don't know where to take it.
There is also interest on the part of some councillors while apparently others are resistant to the idea. The original proposal sought to address two questions:
- What are the threats and opportunities to Cornwall posed by our departure from the EU? This question is asked with particular reference to employment, housing and public services following our departure from the EU.
- How can local people and communities play a more active part in shaping the
decisions that matter to them.
This project proposal was modelled on an earlier Citizens Assembly on Brexit which was
designed and delivered by University College London. It also draws on learning lessons from other recent citizens assemblies in both the UK (the assemblies addressing devolution in Southampton and Sheffield in 2015) and the recent highly successful citizens assembly in Ireland to address the 8th Amendment to the Irish Constitution on abortion.
What has all this got to do with the progressive alliance?
Just this: citizens assemblies are a form for deliberative democracy that moves beyond highly polarised, tribal party politics. Through expert facilitation and the provision of fact based evidence, they enable ordinary people to learn about an issue, question expert witnesses and arrive at a consensual decision.
It is about having an adult conversation – in place of infantile adversarial debate by our elected MPs and leaders.
There is now a large body of evidence that shows the ability of ordinary people to grasp complex issues and through reasoned argument, find common ground as the basis for consensual decision making.
The Party is over
The discord and chaos we now see in Parliament exposes a redundant party political system that has had its day. It can only be rescued and re-configured by a more participative democracy that brings together people to address issues in place of competitive party politics.
Whether or not this particular proposal for a Cornwall Citizens Assembly sees the light of day is another matter. It may not. But it will certainly not be the last time you see such proposals touted either here or elsewhere.
Change is coming – and not soon enough.

State Coordinates Flood Response Resources Ahead of Incoming Storm in Santa Barbara County Area
In response to an approaching winter storm, the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) has tasked the California National Guard (CNG) to pre-position 10 high water trucks with staff as a precautionary measure in the Santa Barbara County area. This action is to protect lives and property, as well as provide rapid response to requests for assistance from local government during the storms.
The forecasted conditions of the storm has prompted the National Weather Service to issue a Flash Flood Watch for parts of Santa Barbara County. In addition, due to potential risk of mud and debris flows the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office has issued a Mandatory Evacuation near the Thomas, Whittier, Sherpa, and Alamo burn areas due to a rapidly approaching winter storm early Tuesday morning. Individuals must be out of the evacuation area by 8 p.m. tonight.
The storm system is expected to move into the area on Tuesday morning bringing periods of moderate to heavy rain to parts of the county. According to the National Weather Service, rain associated with the storm could generate up to .70 inches of rain per hour, especially at higher elevations of southern Santa Barbara County. Rain is expected to taper off Tuesday evening.
An evacuation center has been established by the Red Cross at Goleta Valley Community Center, 5679 Hollister Ave., Goleta, CA 93117. For assistance evacuating large and small animals, contact Santa Barbara County Animal Services hotline at 805-681-4332.
Cal OES continues to monitor weather conditions and remains in close contact with Santa Barbara County officials to address any emergency management and mutual aid needs.

APCNGA demands 7day gas supply across Pakistan
Islamabad: The All Pakistan CNG Association APCNGA on Sunday sought 7day gas supply to the Compressed Natural Gas CNG filling stations across the stretch of the country as normal weather has subsided demand for the natural gas.
In a statement issued here on Sunday, Chairman of the Supreme Council APCNGA Ghiyas Abdullah Paracha said that government must revisit load shedding schedule for CNG sector to resume round-the-clock gas supply until next winter.
Government must end discrimination and provide relief to masses before the dissolution of the assemblies as we have braved unprecedented gas load shedding which took toll on daily life, economy and the foreign exchange reserves.
Ghiyas Paracha said that reduced demand of gas has improved the supply that can be confirmed from the record of gas distribution companies leaving government with no excuse to continue policy of unjust distribution of resources.
Regretting the continued silence of ministry of petroleum over proposals by APCNGA to get over gas crisis, he said that Government must take steps to rescue the CNG sector and ensure smooth sailing, especially in Punjab reeling under unfavourable policy of the centre based on political confrontation.
Paracha said that foreign exchange reserved have touched alarming level while country is unable to sustain imports for two and a half months. In such a scenario, CNG can play a decisive role in cutting the import bill providing some much needed fiscal space.
Rulers must realize that Pakistan is set to witness widespread political chaos if country fails to create one million jobs per annum without which survival of Pakistan and economic stability would remain far cry, he said.
The energy crisis and the way it is being handled since some years is adding to the vast army of unemployed posing great security threat to country, Paracha noted. An independent commission should be formed to probe causes and consequences as well as macroeconomic implications of the energy crisis and choking CNG sector which may work as a wakeup call for the authorities who have worked on cross purposes since years without any objection from the ruling elite.

i'm still here.January 3, 2019
I think I read somewhere that blogs are over. But I still love reading them, so I figure that surely I can't be alone in this. I especially love blogs that are a bit more personal and multi-faceted instead of laser focused on one thing (except for when I am googling that ONE THING, and thank goodness for the obsessed plumber with a blog). So, here I am writing my blog that is quite all over the place and short on writing. Because I am short on time and out of practice. But apparently can't help myself with sharing links to articles and beautiful English homes, because, well, I must.
The other day I was reading about the state of the world/planet and it was all a bit(read:very) depressing, but then the point was made about what we can actually do, and it was make human connections. That seems to be the answer to so many problems. If we just connect with other humans and hear about their world and connect with them, we can solve the world's problems or at least its a start. And we must start somewhere, right?
All this is to say, I'm here, starting 2019 off with a quick blog post to share a few things and say hello! I'll be back soon. I hope you have a great week.

Today as we continue our series, we continue with a testimony from Julie from I Sing Because I'm Free. Julie is a wonderful song writer and often shares her beautiful words of God's love in those songs, along with beautiful pictures of God's marvelous creation.
I once was lost-
and now I'm found!
I have loved music all of my life. I remember the few times I went to church, I couldn't wait to stand up and sing a hymn, or to listen to a choir sing! It gave me chills, and often made me cry. I began playing piano by ear when I was about 9 years old, and started taking lessons shortly after.
I prayed the sinner's prayer and accepted Christ as my Savior when I was about 10 years old- in the kitchen of my step-grandmother's home. I believed in God, but didn't know what it meant to "follow" Him or to have a "relationship" with Him. I went to church less and less as I became a teen. My father left my mom, my sister, and I when I was 16. Church was the last thing I was concerned about at that time. I poured myself into music- I sang in school choir and continued to play piano and write music every free moment I found.
"I met my future husband at my first job"
I met my future husband at my first job after I turned 16. The manager told me (after she hired me) that there was a boy she wanted me to meet that worked there. I met him, and sure enough, a year later- we began dating. It was truly a God thing that He brought us together. At a time when I desperately needed a father-figure and direction in my life, He brought me into a wonderful Christian family. His parents took me in like one of their own and gave me lots of advice and guidance. They were one of the first people to love me the way Jesus loves others-unconditionally.
We got married when I was 19. We were both in college full time and working full time. It was getting harder and harder to see each other due to our busy schedules, and we got married on Spring Break. I graduated two years later with a degree in music education and began teaching in the public school system.
" We wanted our daughter to grow up in a church.."
We looked for churches to attend on and off for years, and never found one where we felt at home. It wasn't until I had my first daughter that we began to search with more urgency. I wanted her to grow up in church and to have what I didn't as a child- a church foundation. When our daughter was 18 months old, we moved away from our hometown. It was another God thing- my husband found a great job out of the area, we sold our home in 3 days, and we closed on a brand new home in a matter of weeks. It was so fast and everything fell into place.
We found our church within weeks of moving here. I met a friend who invited us to her church. The moment I went through the doors, it felt like home. I was greeted with the biggest hug, and I felt His presence like never before.
We became members of this church within months, and steadily attended. After a few years and having our second daughter, I felt the pull to move back to our hometown. I couldn't shake it. I felt lonely and was really unhappy. I looked for houses online and jobs for my husband on the internet. I began to make everyone around me miserable, because I was miserable.
"One even I felt compelled to read my bible.."
One evening I felt compelled to take out my Bible. My husband worked long hours as an accountant, and it was in the middle of his busiest season. Instead of turning on the TV after getting my little ones in bed, I took out my Bible for the first time. I started reading it every night and I also began praying. In Philippians 4:11, Paul says that he has learned to be content, no matter the circumstances. That is what I prayed for- without ceasing. If we were meant to stay here- then I needed God to change my heart. I was tired of trying to change my circumstances. It was getting me no where.
Stay tuned next week for the rest of this testimony.

Facing East
There is a notable thumb of land, sometimes called the Peninsula, sometimes called Petroglyph Point, or on some maps, Castle Rock. Depending on which side you are on, catches either first or last light. Once surrounded by water, these cliffs are now high and dry.
Look one more time again at the previous picture. Towards the bottom, there is a patch of white with horizontal stripes. In 1917, Charles Coppock, born at the century mark, decided to express his frustration with being underage to join US forces during WW I. The result was this flag, dated August 15, 1917. He rowed out to a nearby spot, anchored a platform and painted what you see above. After 94 years some of the color has faded out.
When Charles Coppock returned to the area to farm, machines replaced the mules his father used. These vintage trucks spanned several decades - 30's, 40's and 50s.
Suffering from hard use, this old Ford still has most of its hardware intact.
Two more old battlewagons, a Ford and Chevy, appear to be more recently retired. Both have their license plates still attached. That is likely a field of young horseradish growing behind the trucks.
In that same early morning light that illustrated the "Flag" (above), a Canadian goose sits high above on a nearby spur of rock. Beyond, cliff swallows pepper the sky as they prepare to nest or feed their young.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is like a terrible echo of life-threatening events from the past. Its sufferers–and there are thousands of them across military and civilian life alike–can become haunted by memories of moments when they or their loved ones were faced with grave danger.
It can leave them unable to sleep, feeling detached or isolated from the world around them, easily startled or irritated, and, in some cases, subject to intense flashbacks that make the sufferer feel like the event is happening again.
Despite those horrors, PTSD, as it is commonly known, is treatable. One of the most successful treatments is based around talk therapy, or psychotherapy, which relies on regular, guided conversation.
In an effort to make those conversations more accessible to veterans, one former-soldier-turned-psychologist is incorporating video conferencing into PTSD treatment. His use of teletherapy for PTSD could pave the way for sufferers to receive treatment without leaving their homes and improve early detection of the disorder.
Teletherapy for PTSD
The veteran in question is Blake Schroedter, whose 17 years in the military included tours in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now, he is the head clinical psychologist of a new program at Rush University Chicago called Road Home aimed at helping veterans cope with the symptoms of PTSD and other mental health issues.
Dr. Schroedter started the program in part because of his own difficulties transitioning back to civilian life after years of service. He recently told the Shelbyville Daily Union that veterans need to be given time to decompress and process their combat experiences once they return home.
To aid that process, the Road Home program offers an intensive trauma program every month. Dr. Schroedter's group invites 12 veterans from all over the country to attend and treats and houses them at no cost.
Importantly, the initial contact between the Rush team and potential patients is over video conference. In Dr. Schroeder's own words, video helps break down barriers that would otherwise prevent veterans from seeking help and saves both time and money.
Unfortunately, due to legal telemedicine restrictions, the program itself cannot be conducted over video conference from outside its home state, but there is hope that could change.
Veterans' Affairs Video Conferencing
Over the course of an hour-long, face-to-face video conference, the Rush University team can assess a potential patient's mental health and determine their suitability for the Road Home program.
That efficient way of bringing together a remotely located expert and a person in need is possible due to video conferencing's ability to recreate the in-person experience over a distance. Scientific studies in other areas of medicine have proven that remote treatment over video can be as effective as an in-person visit–VC Daily has previously highlighted studies into remote treatment for addiction, anxiety, and phobias.
The success of those studies makes it a greater shame that the Road Home program can't currently be made available outside of Illinois.
If it were run under the banner of the Department of Veterans' Affairs, however, it would be open to all. The Department's public status grants it an exemption, and it has been a strong supporter of telemedicine–in 2016 the VA spent $1.2 billion on telemedicine research and delivery.
Perhaps Dr. Schroedter's combined work in teletherapy assessment and the Road Home project itself could encourage the VA to follow suit with its own version. And, seeing as PTSD also affects the civilian population, his work could be incorporated into existing commercially available teletherapy sites.
Online Video Therapy Anonymity
The chief asset that video conferencing provides the medical field is accessibility. That's true in both a physical sense–people in remote areas need only a webcam and a laptop to potentially reach expert medical opinions the world over–and in an emotional sense. The ability to seek help from the privacy of your own home, and to do so at a time that fits your lifestyle, offers a degree of anonymity that a trip the local clinic can't provide.
Given that most cases of PTSD in the civilian world stem from childhood trauma and deeply personal events such as sexual assault, sufferers may be more open to seeking help if they can do so on their own terms.
Dr. Schroedter is already assessing people online, and web-based counseling services such as TalkSpace offer wholly virtual therapy that builds from text to face-to-face meetings.
We are still learning how the digital communication technologies of today can best be deployed in the healthcare field, but their core function of bringing people together over time and distance offers a unique access point to deeply sensitive issues.

Lack of interest from youths mars 'Biju Yuva Vahini' plans
Bhubaneswar: The State government's plans to constitute Biju Yuva Vahini (youth brigade) seems to have hit a snag as not a single matric-qualifed youth from many Tribal Sub-plan (TSP) blocks of Odisha has shown any keeness to join the brigade which aims to promote youths at grassroots level to become part of various social and community engagement activities.
The government had earlier issued a guideline that matriculate boys and girls should be selected as office bearers of the Biju Yuva Vahini. With no matric-qualified youths from TSP blocks coming forward, the Sports and Youth Services department in a letter to all district collectors has instructed to withdraw the minimum educational qualification criteria.
"As the minimum educational criteria fixed for selection of Office Bearers (President, Secretary and Treasurer) of Biju Yuva Vahini is Matriculate (10th Pass) as mentioned in the Operational Guidelines (Sec 5.1 – Eligibility Criteria); it is now amended to waive off the minimum educational qualification for the Office Bearers in Tribal Sub-Plan (TSP) blocks which will enable selection of office bearers and formation of Biju Yuva Vahinis in these areas" [SIC] read the letter.
It is being speculated that the youths in the tribal-dominated areas have perceived political undertones of the ruling-party behind formation of the youth brigade. Instead of wasting their time in the brigade they have decided to focus on their career, said sources.
"The youths are not interested in joining the Biju Yuva Vahini as they are worried about their careers. Their education and future is more important for them, therefore they have not registered in the Biju Yuva Vahini," said a youth from Sundergarh, Manas Ranjan Tandi.
Few MLAs of the ruling-BJD in coastal and western districts of Odisha have pulled up their sleeves for formation of the youth brigade. They are organising meetings at the panchayat levels, informed sources. Earlier posters carrying BJD symbol were circulated inviting applications from youths but now the BJD is pushing own party members to join the brigade, said sources.
Opposition parties have alleged that the State government has formed the brigade for political gains.
"The intention of the Biju Yuva Vahini is to prepare a platform for the upcoming elections. They are claiming the selected youths as members of BJD rather than declaring the program a government scheme. It is an attempt to use them during elections," said senior Congress leader Taraprasad Bahinipati.
"Educated youths are not interested to join this scheme of the State government. The BJD should learn from this that how much the educated youths are attracted towards the party," said BJP spokesperson, Golak Mohapatra.
On the other hand BJD spokesperson, Raseswari Panigrahi said "Youths may be busy in their studies therefore may not have submitted their applications. There are many other highly educated youths who have submitted their applications. "
The State government has plans to induct 8,000 youths in the Biju Yuba Vahini. As per the scheme youth clubs constituted under the program will be provided with a one-time financial assistance of Rs 15,000 each and the government has allocated a budget of Rs 450 crore for three years.

I will not do swatches on them either unless someone specifically ask for it. They will appear random in nail art.

I voted for McKenna but will not make that mistake again. McKenna thinks Rossi ran a "very good campaign." There was nothing he could have done differently and the loss was due to a "tough external environment." How did that environment affect McKenna? He won by nearly 20 points. I'd suggest McKenna turn to page B10 of the same day's paper and read Joni Balter's excellent piece ["Positive lessons from negative ads," editorial columnist, Nov. 9]. Like the man at the top of the GOP ticket, Sen. John McCain, Rossi ran a gimmicky, very negative campaign that lacked seriousness, in a very serious time. Like McCain's Joe the plumber, Rossi had the baby in stinky diapers. Instead of specific proposals, we heard about McCain's heroism 40 years ago and Rossi's budget work five years ago. They never told me why I should vote for them. Certainly, Obama and Gov. Christine Gregoire threw plenty of mud, though nothing at the level of Rossi and McCain. I think after the past eight years of federal bungling, voters are looking for politicians who display competence, even in their campaign. That is why I voted for Obama, Gregoire and McKenna. That last vote I'll not repeat. — John Whittaker, Vashon Island The death of the Republican Party Does this stuff remind anyone of the blindness of the Federalists or the Whigs ["GOP split on how to retool message," Politics & Government, Nov. 9] Political parties come and go. In the modern era parties don't evolve from pure ideas; they evolve out of fragments or factions of parties that either collapsed or splintered. Some of the ideas of the Federalists (strong federal government, as opposed to strong state governments) found their way into the Federal Democrats, and some of their ideas (aristocratic leadership) were completely discredited by the egalitarianism of the Jacksonian era. The Whigs faded when their ideas no longer appealed to Americans who had already accepted the ideas of the Democratic Party (the need for a national bank and the need for open markets, among others) and the Whig Party was seen as too distant from the passions of what became the dominant political conflict of the mid-19th century in America: slavery and states' rights against intensifying abolitionist sentiment, containment of slavery in the deep south and an increasing role for the federal government in the life of the nation. Doesn't what we have seen of persistent Republican focus on social mechanisms of oppression and a growing demonization of science remind you of the blindness that led to the demise of the Federalists and the Whigs? James Rosen's story exemplifies what I've thought for some time, that if we are to make our way into the future as a viable nation we must stop fighting yesterday's social wars. And that does not mean surrender to the social conservatives. Is the center of American politics finally tiring of those wars? Are they giving up on Republicanism and moving on? Will the center grow at the expense of a shrinking, increasingly reactionary Republican Party, and will that center end up breaking away, formally, to form a new party, taking with it the viable ideas of traditional conservatism and leaving behind a perpetually disgruntled rump that is enlivened only by a discredited social conservatism that has showed itself capable of oppression but incapable of governing? One can only hope. — Bill McCauley, Auburn Comments | More in Governor's race, Politics, Washington Legislature

How can i create a shared application on the network domain? what i mean is from server i want to share my google chrome or ms office to network without installing them into the client working station.
Chrome would be launched over the lan.
MS Office requires a bit more. A terminal server usually setup and then install the app but you'd need an license for each use. There are a few ways to count that use too.
Might look at 2x.com for how they might help.
Text, talk, drive...CRASH.
Hang up and drive @#$%^^
I'm not sure if you still can, but you used to be able to do network installations of earlier versions of Office; with this setup you still need to configure each client. The problem is to ensure that each client gets its own registry settings for the program. But, as jefro says, you need a licence for each person who will use the shared installation, so it's not going to save you any money.
Give the size of modern hard disks, and the speed penalty loading applications from the network, I can't think of a good reason for using this setup.
Terminal Services or Citrix, as jefro mentioned, is another possibility but it is a somewhat different setup. And it will cost you a lot more than installing the program on each client computer.
You also have to have licenses for all machines using the product so it doesn't matter if server or pc based.
Answers are only as good as the information you provide.

Should use SD card Endurance for TeslaCam
Should use SD card Endurance for TeslaCam
Sorry to hijack your thread but I'm on my third attempt at getting TeslaCam to work since the latest update gave me the message about writing speeds not being fast enough.
I purchased the following:
Samsung PRO Endurance 128GB Micro SDXC Card with Adapter - 100MB/s U1 (MB-MJ128GA/AM) - $35
Difini Micro SD Card Reader, TF Memory Card Camera Reader Adapter Lightning Connector, External Storage Memory Expansion Compatible iPhone/iPad/Android Phones/Mac/PC, 3 in 1 (Black) - $17
I made the TeslaCam root folder but can not get a consistent dashcam symbol on the status bar. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
I would say no need for the expensive Endurance card. Why? The cost difference would allow you to buy several regular SD cards, in case one fails. If you buy a larger capacity SD card, say 128 or 256, the rewrite frequency will be really low. I have a 256 SD, installed in June, and it has yet to "fill up". Now, a 16 or 32 SD card could fail in a year or two, due to excessive rewrites.
I do agree with OP. I've tried a whole bunch of thumb drives and the all failed within three months of use... I've decided to go the more expensive route of SD Card + Adapter. So far so good! 6+ months... I picked a SanDisk 128GB Extreme and it's been great so far...
@tlukas Are you plugging the drive in directly to USB, or using a hub/splitter? I had that sort of problem when I tried to use a USB3 hub with mine. Without the hub, it works great. With the hub, it works sometimes.
Correction: Mine is a 128 SD drive from Samsung. Zero problems with this one and I have it in a hub.
Plugged directly into the USB. I'm going to assume my issue my issue is with formatting. Maybe the card is not in FAT32?
I purchased a 1Tb SSD and formatted the whole thing with Fat32 and plugged it in. It seemed to work fine. Until I saw an accident in front of me. Stopped and offered the police that arrived the file from the SSD. ( I didn't save the event) when I got home and pulled the SSD TeslaCam had used only part the full drive and had overwritten the accident.
@tlukas1 - FAT32 is required, and many drives > 32 GB come preformatted with eFAT, which will not work. Here are step-by-step instructions for both Windows and Mac: https://cammem.com/tesla/preparing-your-drive/
@JohnField - Yep, it only saves one hour of the video unless you manually save it (with a tap to the icon) to save the last 10 minutes. You may be able to recover video, as it doesn't actually overwrite the same area, but uses more of the drive. Details here in "9" near the end: https://cammem.com/tesla/troubleshooting/
I am in the SSD camp. Picked up a 'hardened' external drive off newegg (rubber edges, integrated cable) for $79 with taxes and shipping. I have only pulled it once so far to check the video, so can't speak for the longevity of the thing.
Also had to use a 3rd party app to format as fat32.
Whatever solution you use, should probably check it every month or so. It would be unfortunate to need the video a year later and find the drive hasn't worked in months.
I'm currently using a Samsung SSD drive too. Seems to be working fine, videos are clear besides the occasional "green screen" showing up. I think I may make the switch to the Endurance SD card and see if it performs any better. Especially since the Endurance card is specifically made to record and re-record videos over and over as opposed to a SSD drive. These memory cards and drives are so cheap now that it makes it easier to swap out options to see which one works the best.
FWIW, the Samsung 860EVO 1TB SSD has a 600TBW (TeraByte Written) warranty, which would be 600 full write-erase cycles. The 500GB version has a 300TBW warranty, so the wear is linear. The 860PRO 1TB has a 1200TBW warranty, or twice the EVO.
If someone has the numbers on how much the combination of DashCam and Sentry mode writes in a day, you can get a good idea of expected SSD life.
FWIW, I suspect any SD card will have a MUCH lower expected life. OTOH, the SanDisk Extreme Pro MicroSDs have a lifetime warranty. Buy 2, and use the spare when you send in the first for replacement...
Count me in two camps actually:
1. Since the introduction of the DashCam and subsequently Sentry features, I was using a SanDisk Ultra Fit USB 3.0 Flash Drive (128gb). Never had any issues with it and I think I started using it with the introduction of the feature until last weekend.
2. Last weekend I finally setup a Raspberry PI Zero W with the marcone TeslaCam features. I had waited to set this up until I had moved into a home with WiFi access (Was leaving in a condo until last month). So far, it works, but if you go into the car after it has gone to sleep, you have to wait until the Pi Zero reboots until it starts recording again. Leaving the car in Sentry mode keeps it awake. I do like the automatic backup feature to my computer

Honey – Sandalwood – Cypress
With details that reference fine jewelry, the Brussels Art Deco scented candle's applied pattern is based on a stained glass window designed by the notorious Belgian architect Victor Horta.
Its fragrance brings together cypress wood and honey, and, like a Madeleine de Proust, recalls the nostalgic memories of one's youth and the spaces where they blossomed.
Always burn your candle until the whole surface becomes liquid. This step may take a long time, especially during the first burning. When the entire top of the wax is liquid, do not burn it longer than one hour. The top layer of liquid wax should never exceed one centimeter in height. Never burn your candle more than the maximum burning time indicated in the candle's instructions. Never burn it down totally and systematically leave one centimeter at the bottom.
For more safety rules, please check our page Art of Burning.

1. Racing toward Tragedy? China's Rise, Military Competition in the Asia Pacific, and the Security Dilemma

- Abstract: In the post–Cold War period, scholars have considered the Asia Pacific to be ripe for military competition and conflict. Developments over the past decade have deepened these expectations. Across the region, rising military spending and efforts of various states to bolster their military capabilities appear to have created an increasingly volatile climate, along with potentially vicious cycles of mutual arming and rearming. In this context, claims that China's rapid economic growth and surging military spending are fomenting destabilizing arms races and security dilemmas are widespread. Such claims make for catchy headlines, yet they are rarely subject to rigorous empirical tests. Whether patterns of military competition in the Asia Pacific are in fact attributable to a security dilemma–based logic has important implications for international relations theory and foreign policy. The answer has direct consequences for how leaders can maximize the likelihood that peace and stability will prevail in this economically and strategically vital region. A systematic empirical test derived from influential theoretical scholarship on the security dilemma concept assesses the drivers of bilateral and multilateral frictions and military competition under way in the Asia Pacific. Security dilemma–driven competition appears to be an important contributor, yet the outcome is not structurally determined. Although this military competition could grow significantly in the near future, there are a number of available measures that could help to ameliorate or manage some of its worst aspects.

- Abstract: The ubiquity and interconnectedness of computers in global commerce, civil society, and military affairs create crosscutting challenges for policy and conceptual confusion for theory. The challenges and confusion in cybersecurity are particularly acute in the case of China, which has one of the world's fastest growing internet economies and one of its most active cyber operations programs. In 2013 U.S. National Security Adviser Tom Donilon singled out Chinese cyber intrusions as "not solely a national security concern or a concern of the U.S. government," but also a major problem for firms suffering from "sophisticated, targeted theft of confidential business information and proprietary technologies . . . emanating from China on an unprecedented scale." One U.S. congressman alleged that China has "established cyber war military units and laced the U.S. infrastructure with logic bombs." He suggested that "America is under attack by digital bombs." The discourse on China and cybersecurity routinely conflates issues as different as political censorship, unfair competition, assaults on infrastructure, and internet governance, even as all loom large for practical cyber policy. Although they involve similar information technologies, there is little reason to expect different political economic problems to obey the same strategic logic, nor should one necessarily expect China to enjoy relative advantage in all spheres.

- Abstract: Can great powers reach confident conclusions about the intentions of their peers? The answer to this question has important implications for U.S. national security policy. According to one popular view, the United States and China are destined to compete unless they can figure out each other's designs. A recent Brookings Institution report warns that although "Beijing and Washington seek to build a constructive partnership for the long run," they may be headed for trouble given their "mutual distrust of [the other's] long-term intentions." Similarly, foreign policy experts James Steinberg and Michael O'Hanlon argue that "trust in both capitals...remains scarce, and the possibility of an accidental or even intentional conflict between the United States and China seems to be growing." Reversing this logic, many analysts believe that U.S.-China relations may improve if the two sides clarify their intentions. Thus the Pentagon's latest strategic guidance document declares that if China wants to "avoid causing friction" in East Asia, then its military growth must be "accompanied by greater clarity of its strategic intentions." Meanwhile China scholars Andrew Nathan and Andrew Scobell recommend that even as the United States builds up its capabilities and alliances, it should "reassure Beijing that these moves are intended to create a balance of common interests rather than to threaten China."

- Abstract: The sources of World War I are numerous and widely studied. Some scholars have argued that they are underdetermining individually but overdetermining collectively. The purpose of this article is not to fuel the battle among theories claiming complete explanatory power, but rather to examine some lessons for contemporary international relations. Much of the recent commentary on the war's centenary evokes similarities between Germany in 1914 and China in 2014, and between globalization then and now. There are crucial differences on both accounts, however.

Australia took an early lead at the full marathon event for the World Masters Athletics Championships held in Perth. Image – Vincent Patrick.
NEWS: By Kate Dzienis
The World Masters Athletics Championships yesterday came to a close in Perth (WA) with the final events of the half marathon and full marathon being played out along the foreshore of the Swan River.
With thanks to the West Australian Marathon Club facilities in Burswood, marathon participants started their race 15 minutes late (at 6:15am) due to a computer glitch at registration, but the half marathon runners started right on time at 6:30am and it was smooth sailing from there.
The course was the same as the Perth Half and Perth Marathon, from Burswood through to the University of WA and back again (two laps for the 42.2kms event).
But despite the flat paths along the riverside, the weather played a deceitful game with a strong south-westerly head wind hitting runners as soon as they crossed the Narrows Bridge.
For those not keeping track of weather conditions, frontrunners had to strategically take note of their pace once faced with the sea breeze, while those who knew of the impending winds kept their gait steady from the get-go, knowing all too well what it was like to run from the Narrows towards the university.
But from that 10.5kms turnaround point, the breeze disappeared and it was all heat as temperatures soared to 26 degrees and the sun hit hard without much cloud cover.
From the start, Australia took an early lead for the men and held it there, both Todd Ingraham and Wayne Spies holding strong ahead much of the way together with Poland's Grzegorz Gronostaj and Spain's Juan Vazquez Sanchez.
Christene Oosthuizen from Australia took control of the women's marathon the entire way and stayed ahead with an approximate 15 minute lead in front of Italy's Denise Tappatà and Aussie Margaret Hadley, who proudly claimed the bronze and pushed her way through the gruelling conditions.
All three women competed in the youngest age category of W35-39.
One of the oldest competitors in the half marathon, Australian Alwyn Barnesby, finished well ahead of some of the younger runners, in 2:47:59. Image – Vincent Patrick.
But it wasn't just the frontrunners who took the course by storm with their athleticism; it was the determination and sportsmanship of the older entrants who captured the hearts of volunteers, fellow competitors and sideliners.
In the full marathon the two oldest competitors both hailed from Japan – Michio Kumamoto in the M85-89 category and Satsuko Suzuki in the W75-79.
Incredibly Kumamoto finished 42.2kms in 4:48:18 while Suzuki crossed the line in 5:47:44.
The half marathon also had lay claim to some older competitors including France's Christian Larcher (M85-89) who beat many of the younger runners with his time of 2:28:44 and Aussie Alwyn Barnesby (M80-84) not too far behind.
Germany's Erika Krueger and Australia's Pamela Mews also successfully ran their 21.1kms in 2:54:10 and 4:32:01 respectively (W80-84).
The World Masters had a wheelchair competitor take on the marathon event, a (non-confirmed) first, and it was much-loved Aussie Chris 'Wheelsie' Keillor who took determination to an entirely new level and finished in 3:59:07 – all in a hospital standard grade wheelchair and with a smile on his face the whole way through.
Some dramas did occur however due to heat exposure, with reports from one source that both a German and New Zealand runner collapsed on course and required ambulance assistance.
But in true Aussie spirit, it was Australian marathon competitor Ian Nichol who gave up his race to take a DNF in order to assist the two.
Runglobal gives virtual high fives to all runners and the amazing volunteers who gave up their Sunday morning to help at aid stations, marshall on the roads and assist at the start and finish lines.
Special thanks to all those who took the time to take photographs so runners could capture their moments in history.

30 Silver Street, Reading, RG1 2ST
Hi Everyone
Now... I was planning a long pre-amble about this week's exciting cornucopia of all things Rising Sun related, but after some consideration/faffing about/life jsut getting in the way, I felt it might be better to let this weekend's events speak for themselves...
Friday's a little quiet, but on Saturday we bring you something different in the shape of FUSION
Fusion is a one day Sound Salon with Sinéad Bligh, Harriet Butler, Gary Charles, Copper Sounds, Shirley Penga, Starky and the Moondoctor, Linda Stupart and WE (Pil & Galia Kollectiv), curated by Simone Hesselberg
We'll be hosting an ensemble of artists working with sound, who eschew traditional artistic mediums. Fusion is an immersive auditory experience tinged with chaos, and includes performances, installations and videos bringing a vibrant range of new commissions and existing work to Reading.
Fusion is supported by Arts Council England, Reading International and the University of Reading
We're open from 2pm to 9pm and it's absolutely FREE!!
On Sunday afternoon, we bring you another BALBOA TEA DANCE
After the roaring success of the Balboa Mondays 2016 and 2017 Tea Dances we are back with another edition to raise money for this wonderful place which has given Balboa Mondays a home. So come along, have a dance and eat cake to help put some money towards the Rising Sun Arts Centre. This time to raise (hopefully the final bit of) money to replace the floor in the upstairs room to improve out ability to shuffle, jazz step and rueda our way through 2018!
As per last year we will be kicking the afternoon off at 2:00pm with a taster balboa class, then from 2.30pm onwards we will have the finest DJs playing tunes for your dancing pleasure right the way through to 6.00pm whilst offering ample opportunities to partake of tea and cake. All this for a bargain £10 on the door!
Finally, Sunday evening sees another OPEN PAGE/OPEN STAGE
A monthly collaborative event for writers, artists, musicians, and everyone in between! The premise is an extension of the traditional 'open mic', however the focus is on words and collaboration. We want people to come and showcase their art in a safe and comfortable environment. If you're an artist, bring your work early on so we can hang it around. If you write – poetry, prose, songs, plays – bring a piece or an excerpt. Actors – come and practice for auditions! If you play an instrument, bring it along! Think of the evening as a cross-creative spectrum jam night.
We're open at 7pm and it's absolutely FREE!
That's everything for another week, just to remind you that we are, as always, at 30 Silver Street, Reading, RG1 2ST (If you pop it into your satnav or Google, we shall magically appear!)

Rachel Leigh Loftus is just a regular teenager from Glasgow but she is determined to take the world of pageants by storm.
Despite hailing from one of the most deprived areas in the city and coming from a low income, one parent family, 16-year-old Rachel is determined to show the world that it takes more than a pretty face to win those crowns!
Rachel said: 'I've been on the receiving end of so many negative comments from people who believe all pageant girls do is walk onstage an smile!
"That's simply not true. In the last four years I've raised over £4000 for various charities and travelled thousands of miles to promote my pageant titles.
"I've gained so much confidence just from being involved in pageantry."
Rachel began her pageant journey at age 12 and has since held the following titles: Junior Face of the Globe Scotland 2014; Teen Face of the Globe Scotland 2016; and Teen Scotland Supreme 2017.
Rachel currently holds the title of Miss Teen Glasgow City and will compete to be crowned Miss Teen Great Britain in Blackpool this October.
Rachel will have an offstage interview which accounts for 50 per cent of her total score. She will then take to the stage where she will be judged in her fashion and evening wear.
A huge part of pageantry is charity work. Rachel is currently fundraising for Together for Short Lives, a charity that supports families of children affected by life-threatening or life-limiting illnesses.
In the last four years Rachel has also fundraised for Abbie's Army, The Brightest Star and Glasgow Children's Holiday Scheme.
Rachel continued: "Raising funds and awareness for these wonderful charities has really made me think about how lucky I am. I'm very proud to be out there spreading these messages"
The run up to any pageant is a busy time for contestants. Rachel has been travelling up and down the UK judging, hosting and coaching at other pageant systems. Rachel has even been selected as a brand spokesmodel for leading shoe designer Marc Defang and has a pair of his shoes named after her.
Despite being very busy with pageant activities, Rachel has been dancing, acting, singing and modelling for 11 years and has just received an unconditional offer to begin HND Musical Theatre at the prestigious Edinburgh College of Music and Sound Production. Rachel has danced at Pulse Dance Studio since the age of five and has been an assistant teacher there for five years.
Rachel said: "The most important thing I've learned from pageantry is the importance of the image you project. I have a lot of young girls I coach and they look up to me.
"I have a responsibility to be a good role model for them. I do this by keeping my lifestyle age-appropriate and my social media family friendly."

Foreigners are not allowed to buy train tickets at the ticket counter for some reason. I don't know why, it is the only place in the world I can think of that has this rule. An alternative is to just board the train and buy the ticket on board, so that's what I tried. The downside is you aren't guaranteed a seat but I didn't have much choice. The train got pretty crowed and I was kicked out of any seat I found soon after. I found behind the last row of seats was a little bit of room. There was a steel pipe that came out of the floor and ran horizontal and I could sit on that. Later more people squeezed onto my non-seat. I spent the time alternating between standing and squatting down on this pipe, one of the most terrible experiences I've had on a train.
After this 10 hours of torture, I exited the Cairo Station and made my way to a hotel. The buildings were about 80 years old, an elevator with no inside door which was a little scary, and the ceilings of the rooms were very tall. But overall, not too bad. I got a private room, free wi-fi, and free breakfast.
I visited the Egyptian Museum (no photos allowed) which was huge and tiring. Another day I made the trip to the Giza Plateau. It actually took two days. The first day I couldn't find the bus, so I gave up. You had to stand in the correct spot in the middle of a highway and wave the bus down. In addition, you have to read the Arabic numbers on all the buses. I did write them down on a piece of paper so I could figure it out.
At the Giza Plateau I realized I forgot my water bottle. I also didn't have enough cash to buy water plus take the bus back, so I had to skip water this day in the desert. I walked and walked until I found the entrance and behind the wall I could see the Great Sphinx and behind that I could see the three most famous Pyramids in the world.
I spent a few hours walking around the Sphinx and Pyramids, dodging requests for camel rides. Turning around you can see all of Cairo and behind the pyramids there was sand as far as you can see. After a few hours I had the chance to go inside the Great Pyramid. They only let a few hundred people inside each day, so I thought there would be a long line. But there wasn't much of a line for tickets. I've read about the inside of this pyramid a long time ago and it was good to finally experience it for myself. (photos)

Del Prado's remains to be cremated
11 Jan 2019
- By Bryan Manabat - firstname.lastname@example.com - Variety News Staff
BELEN del Prado and Tracy del Prado, wife and daughter of a 74-year-old man who died in an auto-pedestrian accident last week, are on island to bring back his remains to the Philippines.
Aurelio del Prado became the CNMI's first traffic fatality of 2019.
Belen del Prado said a traffic report will be submitted by the police to the Office of the Attorney General for review, and if no further investigation is needed, her husband's remains will be released to them.
She said there will be a public viewing at the Commonwealth Health Center before the remains are cremated at Borja Funeral Homes.
Belen and Tracy del Prado thanked local community members for the kindness they have shown to Aurelio.
"I hope people won't think that we neglected him," Belen del Prado said. "We repeatedly tried to persuade him to come home. I told him that since he was no longer working on Saipan, he should return to our country."
She said Aurelio, a former construction worker, told her that he wanted to remain on island "because of his mission of spreading the Good News of the Bible."
In Nov. 2016, Tracy Del Prado visited Saipan to persuade her father to come home.
"He did not want to," she said. "A lot of his friends also encouraged him to return to the Philippines. But he said, 'What will I do back home?' It was very difficult to talk to him because of his hearing impairment. I think he could not really understand us."
His wife said she continued to ask him to come home through Skype.
She said she applied for a U.S. visa in 2017 so she could visit him on Saipan, but her application was denied.
When she again applied for a visa in 2018, her application was approved. But before she and her daughter could fly to Saipan, the traffic accident that claimed Aurelio's life occurred.
Belen del Prado said they don't believe that the driver "wanted that to happen."
According to the Department of Public Safety traffic report obtained by Variety, the vehicle that struck Del Prado was a white 2013 Toyota Prius driven by a 52-year-old woman.
She told traffic investigators that on Jan. 4, 2019, at past 9:30 p.m., she was driving on Chalan Monsignor Guerrero at 35 mph.
"She stated that it was raining hard at the time and as she was about to pass the crosswalk she said she did not see anybody crossing, but suddenly an individual appeared in front of her vehicle."
She said she tried to step on the brakes but it was too late and her vehicle ended up colliding with the individual. She added that she quickly stopped her vehicle, checked on the individual and called the police.
The traffic report stated that Aurelio del Prado was pronounced dead at the hospital by Dr. Nicholas Villalon at 10:42 p.m. due to internal bleeding. He also had injuries to his head and a fractured left arm.
Community members who want to make a donation to Aurelio del Prado's family may call the office of Philippine Honorary Consul to the CNMI Glicerio "Eli" Arago at 233-6293 and ask for Mel Santos. You may also call Annamae Adaza at 285-4388.

So just like that our baby boy Dathyn will be one. I have mixed emotions once again. While I am looking forward to his growth I am hurting because my baby won't be a baby soon🙄…My middle place of peace is realizing the blessing of being able to give birth and the enjoyment of babyhood for all three of our princes.
Dathyn will be 1 on Nov, 18th @7:30am lol. I am determined to enjoy every second of him continuing of course after he's 1!!!
One other thing that I am struggling with is the decision to end my breastfeeding journey. I don't intend to breastfeed as intensely after he turn one ☝ but we will see what comes of it all….
Our birthday plans are in full affect! We are set to do a Mickey Mouse theme. He 💕 the Mickey Mouse clubhouse. I am expecting about 10 guest. I'll be sure to post pictures. Transition from babyhood to crazy toddlerhood won't be easy but it of course will be fun!!
I love you Dathyn Declyn mommy is certainly looking forward to watching you grow and grow!!! Lets party! #BigFat!

The Community Development Authority in Dubai, which is launching the initiative Their Suhour is On Us during the holy month of Ramadan, will deliver Suhour (pre-dawn) meals to mosques and surrounding areas with the help of drones.
There are approximately 700 volunteers participating in the initiative, which aims to raise awareness about the importance of Suhour meal by distributing it to laborers, raise awareness about the importance of voluntary work and encourage the community and organizations towards social service and responsibility.
Halima Mohammed, the head of the CDA Youth Council, called on more people to volunteer and noted that involving people with determination was important and they had to find ways to allow them to participate in distributing meals. She added that people with determination will supervise carrying these meals and monitor their delivery.
Khalfan Obeid, who designed the unmanned aerial vehicles system, said this is an innovative idea that stores information and a map of the targeted locations in aerial vehicles to follow specific routes.
Obeid said they will train to use them this week, adding that eight charging batteries were imported for these vehicles which are set to carry around 10 kilograms of Suhour meals.

A couple of fauxtobiographies have been getting some great coverage in the last two weeks.
Cheryl Kurl -Woath it? Coase Ah Am, Pet
The hilarious Cheryl Kurl has released an autobiography. Sara Cox even discussed it with the real Cheryl Cole in a live interview on Radio 1's Breakfast Show, introducing it to millions of listeners. Easily one of the best things on Twitter, but not sure it can sustain a whole book.
Aleksandr Orlov – 'A Simples Life, My Life & Times'
Great coverage this week, with the 'news' that Aleksandr's autobiography was beating Jordan's book in the charts. It's been a while since anyone took the p#ss out of 'Katie Price', so good pickup in nationals and on radio. Good (brief) analysis by Jason Galluci (MD of Lexis PR) in this week's PR Week, in which he describes the book as "a very clever piece of brand extension". I'd even go as far as saying that Aleksandr has, in some way, helped to improve the reputation/image of Russians…

Chitkul: The Village On The Edge #BlogchatterA2z
So far, we went on two journeys; Ahmedabad was not very amicable and Belgaum tested our strength way too much. Have I discouraged the travel enthusiast inside you? Especially, the ones who travel with families! Then let me tell you, along with strange happenings, many heartwarming and blissful experiences also fell in our bucket while travelling.
Do you want to see how bliss looks like? Come with me on a mind blowing journey to the gem of heavenly Himalays, the village on the edge- The cool cool Chitkul.
Chitkul: Where it is located?
It's the last village on Indo-China border in Baspa Valley in Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh.
Why We Went To Chitkul?
Those who went there once, always sang the sweet songs of its beauty; a visit at-least once, therefore, was inevitable. Being the last village on Indo-China border, it also gives an opportunity to cross the world-famous Sangla valley.
Chitkul: What were the Expectations?
Expectations were really high obviously! I was hoping for magical moments.
When We Met Chitkul
It was a road trip planned along with a friends' couple. The journey began early in the morning from Rampur. It was our second time in Kinnaur, so we knew where to stop on the way before taking the diversion to Sangla. The compulsory halt at Taranda Mata temple was followed by an exhilarating walk under the rocky roof.
At Karcham, leaving the main road, we crossed Satluj to the right, following a glimpse of the emrald Baspa, we rode uphill. The Fall (Season) was approaching the valley and snow-clad mountain peaks welcomed us with open arms. It is always a joy to see snow; I don't know why!
Unfolding Mountains kept us spellbound. Slowly the snow cover descended down covering even the road. The security persons deputed there did warn us of the possible risks on further advancement, since it snowed just the yesternight. Mr CoolHead is cool in that way. After depositing the I-card, he applied accelerator determinedly. Thank God, we didn't object, for it would have been a mistake!
What was the journey like? I fall short of words to describe… Magical…Divine…Out of the world….
I wish to share the joy that Chitkul filled our hearts with. Watch the video and tell me how you feel?
After Refreshing your minds in Icy cool Chitkul, fasten your seat belts cause tomorrow, we are going to seaside to experience some divinity and drown ourself in some beach fun!
