A little over 9.000 librarians converged on Seattle for the 2019 American Library Association Midwinter Conference 25-29 January. My focus in attending is to learn about new titles, to meet and get to know authors and network with the major publishing houses. I want to understand the trends in contemporary literature to strengthen and improve my readers' advisory skills so that I can suggest quality books for reading and discourse.
The focus of the conference was empowerment of women, underrepresented communities, and the importance of advocacy and social justice. Auditorium speakers included Melinda Gates, Rick Steves, CNN Anchor Isha Seshy, and Sociologist Erik Klinenberg. Charles Johnson held a signing for his new graphic novel series for children and rock Star Librarian Nancy Pearl signed the new paperback copy of her novel GEORGE AND LIZZIE.
Many of the panels focused on equity, inclusivity and eradicating bias in true pub...

Founded in Chicago in 1910 The Delphian Society was a national organization dedicated to the education of woman.
The name is derived from the ancient Greek priestess Pythia of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi who also served as the Oracle of Delphi. The name Pythia is derived from Pytho, which in myth was the original name of Delphi.
The Delphian Society got their impetus from then President of Harvard University Charles William Eliot who believed that education serves the purpose of inspiring lifelong learning and those who do not receive it "seem to live in a mental vacuum."
Title page
Probably best known for their Course of Reading series published in 1913 they also published
a 9 volume set Orientation for Modern Times in 1936-7. The set is comprised of three parts:
Basic Trends; Creative Thinkers and Understanding Modern Art. In addition to the top-tier content the books feature some pretty nifty typography and page design.
Here are three scrumptious new arrivals available for checkout in our Food & Drink section:

Ecco Press, (1993). Includes contributions by Wendell Berry, Colette, Harry Crews, Michael Dorris, MFK Fisher, Charles Lamb, Rose Macaulay, Harry Matthews, Joyce Carol Oates, Francine Prose, and Alice Waters among others

Folio is delighted to add selections from the library of Jane Lang Davis to our collection.
Davis, along with her late husband Richard Lang, were leading proponents of the arts in Seattle.
From the creation of the Pacific Northwest Ballet to the expansion and growth of the Seattle Art Museum Davis was always front and center. She served as a trustee for SAM for over 30 years and along with husband Dave Davis served equally as long on International Council of the Museum of Modern Art in NY.
Richard and Jane also assembled one of the greatest private collections of abstract expressionist and post-war art in the world.

Through her incredible generosity, steadfast leadership, and constant willingness to share works from her collection for t...

|Firmware Update policy
Sometimes I'm using my Archos 70 Internet tablet. Recently I found that most apps provided on e.g. Google play are not compatible with Android 2.2. in many cases, the minimum requirement is 2.3.3.
This would mean that my Archos is doomed to freeze in the current "as is" constellation. But the pad still works to my satisfaction and is in good condition. I won't replace it by newer hardware. Why is firmware no longer maintained?

|Re: Firmware Update policy
My a70 is also running fine. Archos did do a huge number of firmware updates for it, probably more than was financially wise. There are web sites discussed in this forum (xda?) which may offer more recent unofficial firmwares for it (at your own risk).
I had mine configured perfectly, but unfortunately did a recent android reset and can't be bothered to reinstall the google stuff. Google play just keeps updating apps with more bloat than can fit in the appspace. Luckily I backed up .apks of the best video and music players and can let my a70 continue to do what it does best. New whizzy apps can be run on my newer devices instead.

|Re: Firmware Update policy
Going along with this topic. I just recently bought the Archos 70 250 gb tablet. It worked fine when I got it so then I added the Google play and the apps started to act up getting force close like crazy.My goals are simple I want this tablet for an MP3 player first off 2nd I want to get the RDIO or Spotify app for offline playing which both of those do now. I also wnt video game Emulators. I don't want my battery drained in my Galaxy s5. So my question is what is the most stable OS or firmware for what I'm looking to do? I know the SDE would be an option but it says that I couldn't have DRM protected material. So any help would be appreciated.

|Re: Firmware Update policy
The official firmware has extremely small space for apps, and it has been my and a few others observation that you must underfill the appspace by 50 or 60mb for it's own housekeeping or the tab will chronically drag or lockup or whatever. It was designed to save space for media not today's megabloat apps, so you can really only install a handful.
All such things are covered in the sticky topics at the top of general gen8 area viewforum.php?f=63 . See viewtopic.php?f=63&t=64427 topic for the simplest fix. Or did you install google play correctly, as in the mostly obsolete topic viewtopic.php?f=63&t=47197 :

For the Generic user I thoroughly recommend Arctools on Appslib as a Market installer.
All other Market installers are 'One Off' unless you keep track of the developers site/thread.
Arctools automatically informs you of an update just as any other app would do, thereby keeping you on track.
I use it, it works well, and online Market works fine without any of this unesessary Fix/Unfix rubbish.

|Re: Firmware Update policy
I can be a generic user if I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 for all of the ungeneric things. If my phone had 250 gigs we wouldn't be having this conversation. When I first got my Archos I tried to install the market place for Google play but when I got it all installed it said to donate for the market app not for free so I didn't know what to do then. So then I downloaded the latest Gappinstaller for it. So that was what is making it unstable I guess. Where should I go from here?

Debian included systemd because that is the nature of Debian. Systemd became the default after a vote. People seem to think the vote wasn't "fair"? Without some kind of factual evidence, this is still the typically wild conspiracy stuff.
If I correctly understand the process as outlined in the Debian constitution, that is not how the process is supposed to work. I believe the Technical Committee only has the authority to rule on technical issues, hence the name, and not on matters of future development directions. If I remember events clearly, members of the TC that favoured systemd exploited a loophole; waiting until enough opposing members were unable to vote, declared systemd not being part of the default set-up to be "a bug," then voted to "fix the bug." The General Resolution vote was reluctantly agreed to after a storm of protest. In the end they decided to not reverse the TC's decision, because a lot of work would have been needed to undo the changes already made, which would have delayed the release of Jessie for a year or more. I got the impression that more people were angered by the machinations that violated the (perceived) spirit of Debian, than by the result. Perhaps they were unhappy to discover Debian is not the bastion of democracy they thought it is and vented their frustration at the process they viewed as unfair.The GR resulted in a no change as the vote outcome was that it wasn't needed. I understand the criticism of the process - but that's how it works.

Running with -d revealed that the problem was due to having the Mac OS
X firewall turned on; it was stopping the test from talking to the test
server on a local port (not sure how to fix that yet). It would be nice
if the tests would throw an error under such conditions instead of
hanging, but the fix for now is to just turn off the firewall (I
already have one protecting my network as a whole).

An illuminated 5G sign hangs behind a weave of electronic cables on the opening day of the MWC Barcelona in Barcelona, Spain, on Monday, Feb. 25, 2019.
Angel Garcia | Bloomberg | Getty Images
The impending rollout of the next generation 5G wireless standard could be a boon for cybersecurity, according to an expert from Verizon.
"I actually think that the 5G rollout … will actually make things better," Chris Novak, global director of the Threat Research Advisory Center at Verizon, told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Tuesday.
"I think there is a lot of research and development that we've done and I know others have done as well to make sure that 5G doesn't just bring speed and reliability, but also that it's done in a secure manner and addresses any of those kinds of concerns," Novak said.
Novak's comments come amid increasing scrutiny on companies seeking to win contracts to develop 5G capabilities for national networks. Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei is chief among the firms under the spotlight as the U.S. seeks to dissuade America's allies from purchasing its equipment, with claims that the firm is "too close to the government. "
Recent moves by the U.S. have reportedly resulted in major tech companies limiting their employees' access to Huawei. On May 16, the U.S. Department of Commerce put Huawei on a blacklist, barring it from doing business with American companies without government approval, then a few days later it authorized firms to interact with Huawei in standards bodies through August "as necessary for the development of 5G standards."
For its part, U.S. President Donald Trump's administration appears to have a conflicting stance on Huawei.
Trump told CNBC on Monday that Huawei could be part of the U.S. trade negotiation with China, contradicting remarks by Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who told CNBC on Sunday that Washington's concerns surrounding the telecommunications behemoth are "national security" issues separate from trade.
On the subject of whether banning perceived bad actors from developing 5G networks would reduce the likelihood of data breaches, Novak said: "To be honest, it's not even just the espionage element. In reality, the bigger percentage of that pie is actually financially motivated breaches."
"If you actually roll back and look at the last decade, we've got almost about a half million security incidents that we've looked at over the course of that research," he said. "While espionage plays a role in things and I think that's kind of fired up a lot of the conversation here, I think ultimately there's a lot of other facets to what we see happening in the cybersecurity and data breach landscape."
— Reuters and CNBC's Kate Fazzini contributed to this report.

I see only one conclusion: Our government (on every level) has so greatly mismanaged our country that they have destroyed the very frame work of what the US was built on. Consider these points:
But the most dangerous: Our government believes more laws, more rules, more programs, more government, is the solution.
- Corporations were allowed to outsource manufacturing and intellectual jobs, to the point where there is 10% unemployment.
- Allowing FreddieMac / FannieMae to make unsound loans
- The housing bubble has turned home owners into speculators. Although these folks signed a contract to purchase a home, there was a very, very, very strong implication that with reasonable care the home would not decrease in value. I'd say more than a 10% decrease is reason to claim fraud / manipulation.
- Giant corporations that pay low wages, with little benefits (health, retirement, etc) Walmart, Target, Home Depot, McDonalds, the list is endless. All low wage, go nowhere jobs.
- Microsoft was allowed to establish itself as a monopoly in software and computing.
- Bailout's for GM, Wall St, get socialism, while us little guys get to experience capitialism.
- It's my guess that 90% of the products sold at Best Buy are made in China, Mexico, or Asia. Same for similiar giant stores.
- We have spent the entire contents of the treasury.
- We are bleeding cash, fighting endless police action type wars, with no certain outcome.
- With 17% U6 unemployment, many people live in utter dispair. Young people can't get started, older people are losing their retirement savings.
In about 60 days the Tarp properties will hit the market. When this happens I predict it will drive down housing prices even more, and kill new construction.
This is not the country I wanted to give my grandchildren. The US is now a 2nd rate nation, soon to be a 3rd rate nation.
As I heard one commentator state: The US is becoming like Europe (with all the regulations, and unemployment) but we don't get nearly the amount of vacation

Vinales and Quartararo ended up over three tenths clear of Honda's Marc Marquez, who had led most of the session before being surpassed by the Yamahas late on.
Marquez ran in Vinales' wheeltracks in the opening minutes of the session to log a 1m33.171s, which was just two hundredths off Quartararo's FP1-topping effort.
The championship leader had run a new soft tyre, and held a nearly half-second lead over nearest rival Vinales until those behind him equipped fresh rubber for the closing runs of FP2.
First, Valentino Rossi closed to within three tenths of Marquez, before the other works Yamaha of Vinales recorded the first sub-1m33s attempt of the weekend.
This 1m32.775s attempt was two tenths quicker than Quartararo's first push lap on the soft rear tyre, and though the French rookie improved again at the chequered flag, he came up 0.057s short of toppling Vinales.
With the top three made up of the same riders as the morning, Rossi was best of the rest in fourth, albeit seven tenths off the pace.
Quartararo's Petronas Yamaha teammate Franco Morbidelli made it four Yamahas in the top five, while Pol Espargaro led KTM's charge in sixth place.
The two factory Ducatis of Danilo Petrucci and Andrea Dovizioso were seventh and eighth respectively, ahead of Suzuki's Alex Rins and LCR Honda's Cal Crutchlow.
However, Rins and Crutchlow are currently on course to miss out on automatic spots in Q2, with Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia) and Michele Pirro (Ducati) within the combined classification top 10 instead on the strength of their FP1 laps.
Marquez's Honda teammate Jorge Lorenzo produced an improved showing compared to the morning, but remains in 17th place – with the top 21 split by 1.6 seconds.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- The CGG Veritas seismic vessel MV Pacific Titan has completed a 2D seismic survey to assess the oil and gas potential of the unexplored Reinga basin. The current information suggests geology similar to the Taranaki basin, according to New Zealand's Energy and Resources Minister Gerry Brownlee.
The survey gathered just over 5,000 km (3,107 mi) of high quality 2D seismic data of which 1,500 km (932 mi) will be purchased by the Crown Minerals and made freely available to explorers, with the remainder available on a non-exclusive basis by CGG Veritas.
The new seismic show possible leads including sedimentary drapes over basement highs with adjacent deep grabens and stratigraphic pinch outs, according to Crown Minerals. A thorough interpretation of the data by New Zealand's GNS Science will precede a blocks offer opening later in the year.
Crown Minerals awarded CGG Veritas a two-month Petroleum Prospecting Permit 51527 that covers 160,000 sq km (61,776 sq mi) to carry out the survey.
Crown Minerals currently has blocks offers open over the adjacent Northland basin and the Raukumara basin on the East Coast of New Zealand. These offers are scheduled to be closed in early 2010.

G20 Meet: Saudi crown prince meets Modi in Argentina, plans to ramp up investments
Updated : November 30, 2018 11:16 AM IST
The Saudi prince told Modi he would soon be finalising an initial investment in India's National Investment and Infrastructure Fund, a quasi-sovereign wealth fund, to help accelerate the building of ports, highways and other projects, a top diplomat said.
The meeting with the Saudi crown prince was Modi's first in a set of "bilaterals" on the sidelines of the G20 that will be followed by meetings with US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Modi stressed the importance of stable energy prices and the two leaders discussed ways in which Saudi Arabia, a top crude oil supplier, could help stabilise prices, particularly for India, Gokhale said.

Where are IN BED products made?
IN BED products are carefully sourced from all corners of the globe. We aim to create thoughtful essentials for everyday life and produce wares that our customers can live in and love for years to come.
We use only high quality, natural fibres and fabrics, always ensuring with our producers that ethical practices are maintained. We work closely with and visit all of our suppliers and factories, at least annually, to make certain that standards for our products (and those who make them) are consistent and exceedingly high.
Flax for our linen originates in Western Europe; France, Belgium and the Netherlands, where it is grown and harvested. After harvest it is then woven and made into IN BED products at one of two factories we work with, one in Guimarães, Portugal (for our IN BED branded bed linen) and the other in Shenzhen, China (for our sleepwear, kitchen linen & IN BED x Triibe collaboration colours)
The majority of our bed linen is now made in Guimarães, Portugal in a factory that has a special interest in textiles innovation, research and development. The country has a strong history of high end, quality linen and clothing manufacturing, and we've worked closely with our partners here to maintain the soft IN BED hand-feel signature to our linen, that is achieved by using a certain mechanical stone-wash finish, which also consumes much less water than a traditional enzyme wash.
The factory we work with in Shenzhen specialises in high-quality flax linen products and take great care and pride in producing an exemplary product. They export linen fabric and goods to high-end brands in Switzerland, Italy, the U.S. and more, producing a linen of exceptional quality.
Our percale bedding is made from 100% cotton in a family-run factory in Guimarães, Portugal which has been operating since the 1940s and specialises in premium cotton bedding.
In both 200 & 400 thread count percale cotton, IN BED cotton sheets are closely woven to be smooth, light and breathable, making them ideal for warmer seasons and balmy climates.
Our cashmere originates in Mongolia and is woven into the yarn that makes our cashmere pieces in Shanghai, China. Our factory employs approximately 500 people between Mongolia and Shanghai. They concentrate on producing exemplary cashmere products, supplying to well known fashion houses and lifestyle brands all over the globe. All dyes and washing processes at our factory are eco-friendly and the water is treated after these processes.
Egyptian Cotton Bath towels
Our cotton towels are made from certified 100% Egyptian combed cotton in Denizli, Turkey, an area with a strong heritage of manufacturing luxurious bath linens.
The family-owned factory we work with has been trading for over 30 years and complies with a strict set of standards & certifications.
They are a fully integrated business handling all aspects of production from yarn spinning to finishing.
Cotton from Egypt is one of the most luxurious cottons in the world offering long and regular fibres which give our towels an exceptional softness, durability and colour brightness.
Organic Cushions
Our Organic cushions are made in New Delhi, India. The small factory where our cushions are made is certified Oekotex and GOTS, ensuring all products are beautifully manufactured from Organic fabrics.
A Word On Our Packaging
We are conscious of excess packaging and the impact this has on the environment. This is why we aim to always use packaging made with natural, reusable or recyclable fabrics (such as our linen & cotton drawstring bags or our cardboard cotton bedding) and avoid individual use plastic poly-bags. In rare cases poly-bag use is unavoidable, we opt for EPI Poly-bag, made with degradable plastic.
Our linen & cotton bags are great to reuse for storing items, sorting socks & underwear and are especially great to help you organise different categories when packing.
If you do not have any need for your linen bags and would like to return them for reuse by IN BED you are more than welcome to return them to us in store at: 72b Oxford St, Paddington NSW 2021 either in person or by post.
If you would like further information on any of our products or practises, please get in touch with us at email@example.com – We'd love to hear from you.

Non-sponsors ride on cricket World Cup hoopla4 min read . Updated: 24 Feb 2011, 10:19 PM IST
Non-sponsors ride on cricket World Cup hoopla
Non-sponsors ride on cricket World Cup hoopla
Mumbai: Last year's soccer World Cup had Adidas as a sponsor but the brand most associated with it was rival Nike, according to a report on the eve of the tournament by market research firm Nielsen.
Nike had, according to the report, ambushed its way into the discourse by producing a popular soccer-themed ad that spread virally online, overshadowing Adidas.
Ambush marketing can work when executed well. But what about the plethora of ads using cricket as a prop in their commercials? They are hoping to get a pop from the high interest around the cricket World Cup and the Indian Premier League that follows.
"The belief that to leverage an event, all conversation needs to be cast around cricket, is a simplistic and incorrect assumption," said Santosh Desai, managing director and chief executive officer, Future Brands Ltd.
Brands adopt the strategy in the belief that they are being clever by rubbing shoulders with a mega property, but such associations are often ineffective and undifferentiated.
"Brands should avoid such fleeting opportunistic associations unless they can really own a property," he said. "But having said that, genuine cheekiness or smartness (in a campaign) will always be rewarded."
Kiran Khalap, co-founder, Chlorophyll Brand and Communications Consultancy Pvt. Ltd, points to the VodafoneZooZoos as a good example. The company is not an official sponsor of the World Cup but is a broadcast sponsor.
"To my mind there's just two ways to look at it. Either the usage is right or it's wrong," he said. Brands that use the property as a media opportunity are more likely to benefit than those which use it as an event opportunity.
The Vodafone campaign has nothing to do with cricket but uses it to get mileage. "That is a better strategy than to attach your brand to the event by producing ads that scream cricket; that's just a waste of money."
There are "hundreds and hundreds" of ads riding on the hyperbole associated with the World Cup, according to the spokesperson of Copyright Integrity International (CII), an intellectual property rights (IPR) firm headquartered in Bangalore that has been hired by the International Cricket Council to protect sponsors' interests.
It registered more than 150 instances of copyright infringement and ambush marketing by a spectrum of brands even before the World Cup started on 19 February. Action has only been taken against ads that unlawfully commercialised intellectual property of the ICC or the World Cup, the spokesperson said.
Cricket features in ads by companies making sanitary ware, bathroom fittings, hearing aids, furniture and deodorants. Educational institutes and travel agencies have also used cricket in their commercials.
Imagery, colour, graphics, phrases and even words associated with the World Cup have been used to gain from "borrowed interest", riding on the back of important or topical events.
Some marketers believe that consumers tend to be more receptive to communication that features popular or topical themes.
In a commercial for Parryware Roca Pvt. Ltd, makers of sanitary ware and bathroom fittings, an umpire raises his hand as if to declare a player out. He instead makes the universal sign for the rest room.
An ad for JK Tyres has a truck packed with fans sporting the Indian team jersey. The ad reads "JK Truck/Bus radials: wheels to the nation." Sundaram Mutual Fund, Johnson and Johnson's contact lens brand Acuvue and Beltone True Wireless hearing aids all have ads with a cricket theme.
"The ICC does not have a proprietary interest in the colour blue, cricket or even the imagery associated with cricket. What the ICC is most concerned about is unlicensed advertising that suggests or implies a commercial association with the ICC Cricket World Cup or uses participating players in violation of the terms as defined by ICC," said Nandan Kamath, counsel for Copyright Integrity International. "This is especially true in cases where the common man on the street would be misled to believe that the advertiser is officially associated with the event."
Special anti-ambush rules have been put in place at some locations holding major sporting events. They include South Africa (Fifa World Cup 2010), New Zealand (Rugby World Cup 2012), Vancouver (Winter Olympics 2010) and England (Summer Olympics 2012). In South Africa, the use of football imagery and even some key words were restricted, although this didn't stop Nike from edging itself into the picture.
"The ICC could have asked the host nations, namely India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, to have such legislation in place to protect the sponsors but took a considered view not to pursue this route," said Kamath. "You have to acknowledge that all the buzz is good for the World Cup. At the end of the day, the ICC has established a fine balance between freedom of speech and sponsor interests and I think they've got it right."

Kuwait's Partnerships Technical Bureau has narrowed down the number of potential advisers on its first independent water and power project (IWPP) to two consortiums, ahead of an award later this quarter.
The final two consortiums competing to advise the government on the financial, legal, and technical aspects of developing an IWPP are French bank BNP Paribas with US' law firm Chadbourne & Parke and Germany's Lahmeyer International; and the UK's HSBC with UK law firm Norton Rose and Germany's Fichtner.
Kuwait tendered the advisory mandate on the development of an IWPP at Al-Zour in mid 2009, and by the 20 August bid deadline at least 10 groups had submitted proposals. This was narrowed down to four shortlisted bidding groups in early January (MEED 05:01:10).
Shortly after that, two groups were informed that were no longer being considered. The two consortiums comprised UK-based financial adviser Ernst & Young, US law firm DLA Piper and the UK's Mott MacDonald; and the US' Citigroup with UK lawyers Clifford Chance and the Shaw Group, also of the US.
A source in one of the two groups that remain in the contest says that Kuwait is eager to press ahead with its plans for the private development of a power and water plant and should announce a winning consortium in the first quarter of the year.
The planned IWPP will consist of a power plant with capacity of 1,500MW and a desalination plant capable of producing 100 million gallons a day of desalinated water.

Operations resumed at a southern Iraqi port, and an oil refinery plant, after protesters left the area on Thursday November 7th, Reuters reported.
Anti-government protesters had blocked roads and burned tyres at the Umm Qasr commodities port, halting operations for more than a week, and stopped fuel tankers at Nassiriya oil refinery a day earlier.
The sources did not clarify the reason why protesters decided to leave the area.
Security forces in Baghdad shot dead at least four protesters on Thursday November 7th, Reuters reported, as weeks of deadly unrest show no signs of stopping.
According to security and medical sources a further 35 civilians were wounded near Shuhada Bridge, as protests entered their 13th day.
Angry protesters blame the political elite in Iraq for deteriorating services, high unemployment rates, failing security and corruption, and are demanding a complete overhaul of the political system.

In A Rush?
Key Features
Kamado grills are quite an interesting little beast. They offer a unique advantage over regular grills in having a very wide range of temperatures and greater control over airflow than traditional grills, making them a more versatile tool to use. You wouldn't bake a cake in a traditional grill, but it's something you can absolutely do in a kamado.
While it is debatable which is the better at grilling or smoking (some advocate for one, some for the other), it can't be denied that the kamado is good, and will do a bit more for you than a regular grill, so it's up to personal preference.
Since you're here though, I'm assuming your preference is toward the kamado…or you're willing to be persuaded that way. So we're going to go over why you should buy one, what sets a good
Here are the best Kamado grills you can buy:
- Best overall - Kamado Joe KJ23RHC Classic II Charcoal Grill
- Runner up - Kamado Joe Big Joe II BJ24RHC Charcoal Grill
- Best small Kamado grill - Kamado Joe KJ13RH Joe Jr Charcoal Grill
- Kamado Joe BJ24NRHC Big Joe II Stand Alone Charcoal Grill
- Best high-end Kamado grill - Viemoi Kamado Grill Mini Kamado Charcoal Grill
- Best Budget Kamado grill - Char-Griller E16620 Akorn Kamado Kooker
- Char-Griller E06614 AKORN Jr, Red Charcoal Kamado Grill
- Kamado Joe KJ23NRHC Classic II Stand-Alone
- Char-Griller E14822 Premium Red Kettle Charcoal Grill and Smoker
The 9 Best Kamado Grills Reviewed For 2020
1. Best Overall – Kamado Joe KJ23RHC Classic II Charcoal Grill
This kamado grill is excellent, and is the perfect example of everything we're looking for in one. It has a great mix of size and features while still being a great price compared to similar kamado grills. While others out there are larger, that comes with a proportional increase in price, and the ceramic is the bulk of what increases the expense of a kamado grill.
What We Liked
What We Didn't Like
2. Runner Up - Kamado Joe Big Joe II BJ24RHC Charcoal Grill
The Big Joe II is just like the Classic II, but as the name implies it is, well, bigger. Everything that makes the Classic II great is represented here, but it offers a good deal more cooking space to work with. So why does it fall lower on the list? Well, the simple answer is: cost. I don't think the price increase is justified by how much extra space it gives.
What We Liked
What We Didn't Like
3. Best Small Kamado Grill - Kamado Joe KJ13RH Joe Jr Charcoal Grill
This is a great intermediate grill, better than the cast iron models below but not as good as the larger Kamado Joe variants, and occupying a price point between the two as well. While smaller, don't confuse it with being too small to use. It works great for single family meals, and is plenty big enough to roast a whole chicken for example. Great for someone who wants a kamado grill and doesn't care about entertaining for huge crowds.
What We Liked
What We Didn't Like
The standalone version of the Big Joe II is an objectively good grill in a lot of ways; it's exactly the same as the Big Joe II after all, save it lacks the legs and wheels. Unfortunately it's hard to recommend with that lack due to it being, basically, an inferior version of a good product.
What We Liked
What We Didn't Like
5. Best High-end Kamado Grill - Viemoi Kamado Grill Mini Kamado Charcoal Grill
This kamado grill is downright adorable. This is an absolutely tiny kamado grill, but don't let that turn you off; it's more than enough for single family meals, and it has a very affordable price attached to it. If it didn't compare so poorly to the Joe Jr. I could recommend it wholeheartedly.
What We Liked:
What We Didn't Like
6. Best Budget Kamado Grill - Char-Griller E16620 Akorn Kamado Kooker
This Char-Griller kamado-style grill is…flawed, but works as a more affordable option for someone wanting to experiment with some of the advantages of a kamado grill without taking the plunge on an over $1000 purchase.
What We Liked
What We Didn't Like
The Akorn Jr. is very similar to the Akorn, but smaller. You might expect me to say this makes it worse, as I was not a huge fan of the Akorn, but that's not necessarily the case. The more compact you make your grill, the more cast iron works out as an insulator. It's still not going to be as good as the real deal, but it's definitely better in that regard.
What We Liked
What We Didn't Like
My issue with the Classic II standalone is much the same as I have with the Big Joe II standalone: it's not much cheaper, and yet it has a much bigger drawback. While not as unwieldy as the Big Joe II, this thing is still heavy, and you gain little by the lack of wheels.
What We Liked
What We Didn't Like
This is, bar none, my least favorite grill on this list. It is not even really a kamado-style grill, though it tries to masquerade as one. Making the grill out of cast iron to make it more affordable is one thing; that's an understandable cost cutting measure and still leaves the grill as reasonably effective. This however takes the worst parts of a kamado grill and melds it with standard grill features, creating the ultimate worst of both worlds experience.
What We Liked
What We Didn't Like
Final Verdict
As a brand, Kamado Joe is the clear winner here. Their products are quality, and other brands compare unfavorable to them in terms of either construction, materials, or technology they bring to the table. The Classic II is by far the best, with the Big Joe II and Joe Jr. being very close runners up depending on what you really want them for.
I personally would stay away from the standalone variants of the above, but they do have uses for people with very specific outdoor kitchen setups, so they're not a complete waste, just not to my preference or climate.
The only "sleeper" I'd say to consider is Viemoi's mini kamado grill. It's quite good for what it is, even if it doesn't compare super well to the Joe Jr. If you find the size of it perfect, it doesn't hurt to save that extra $100 and grab it instead, and the overall quality of the grill is very good, even if it lacks the nice extras that Kamado Joe's models bring to the table.
What Is A Kamado Grill?
A kamado grill, or just kamado, is a traditional ceramic cooking device popular in many Asian countries for thousands of years (the earliest known appearing in China over 3000 years ago). The kind of grill we're looking at today would be more technically referred to as a "mushikamado", the portable variant (the original kamado were large affairs, akin to a modern stove and oven) that became popular in Japan.
Their unique ceramic construction makes them ideal for a variety of cooking purposes. While excellent at grilling and smoking (otherwise we wouldn't even be talking about them here), the word kamado basically just means "stove" in Japan, and it can of course be used as such.
The great thing about a kamado is that, much like a range top grill, you can cook almost ANYTHING in this, making it less of a semi-specialized tool than traditional American grills.
What Do I Look For In My Kamado?
The basic construction of all kamado grills are the same: a ceramic cylinder or "egg" as the most popular brand coined the shape with top vents and a bottom draft door.
That's all you really need to make a kamado function, as the ceramic material and specific style of construction is what makes them good in the first place.
Everything besides that is bonuses that make your life easier.
Sturdy legs with wheels are one of the big ones. Kamado are HEAVY and hard to move by hand (you're looking at over 200 lbs at least), so if it doesn't have wheels you're not going to be inclined to move it a whole lot. Plus these things are short if they're just sitting on the ground, so being a bit taller is convenient.
Much like any grill, side tables and the like are good to have, for obvious reasons. A thermometer is a must.
Look for brands that offer a variety of cooking surfaces, like pizza stones or range top attachments so you can take advantage of the kamado's ability to cook anything you want. Among the best kamado grill accessories is the range top; it's a big deal that I can't overstate the usefulness of. I recommend it for any grill actually; having a flat cooking surface to use infinitely increases the variety of foods you can cook. For a simple example, eggs cooked sunny side up on a range, heated by fire and flavored a bit by the smoke? Beautiful.
And as always be sure to keep in mind the basics for any grill. Things like cooking surface; you want enough to cook enough food for everyone at whatever sized group of people you tend to cook for. Nobody likes waiting in line while everyone eats. Make sure the ceramic is crack resistant, the seals seal properly, and all of the other checks to basic quality you need to do to ensure this purchase lasts you a long time.
The final thing to keep in mind: kamado are expensive. They're worth it, but expensive. Look for warranties and similar things, like satisfaction guarantees and the like. You don't want to get stuck with a defective piece of $1200 ceramic.

Yana Kunichoff, Truthout, Dec 4, 2009
The head of Blackwater revealed the details of his collaboration with the CIA to locate and assassinate top al Qaeda operatives as part of a covert antiterror operation Tuesday, and blamed Democrats for the leak that ended the program.
In an article published in Vanity Fair, Erik Prince, the founder of Blackwater, spoke about the extent of his involvement with the CIA, which ranged from putting together, funding and executing operations to bring personnel into "denied areas" to targeting specific people for assassination who were deemed enemies by the US government.

Teacher whose gun accidentally fired in a classroom was a reserve police officer and highly trained.
Like the boys' initiative, the goal is to boost cultural pride and academic performance, lower suspension and dropout rates and create greater understanding of the students' singular experiences and needs.
Inspired by the activism of those who survived February's mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., students from elementary schools to college campuses walked out of class Wednesday and staged a variety of protests to demand stricter gun control laws.
The National School Walkout, which is being staged to honor the victims of the Parkland, Fla., massacre and advocate for stricter gun control laws, is the latest example of students making a difference in national affairs.
A UCLA survey of 730 schools nationwide found widespread negative impacts related to deportation fears.
School districts are trying a variety of strategies aimed at creating safe and welcoming school environments, but there is controversy over the role and frequency of student surveys, and how to use them.
Study finds African-American students make up just over 5 percent of California's public school enrollment, but account for nearly 18 percent of suspensions, with black boys and young men accounting for most of those.
School safety plans only go so far to protect students and staff.
Letters were sent to schools that submitted data claiming perfect attendance, including more than half of San Francisco Unified schools.
Districts focusing on reasons for chronic absenteeism, such as illness, suspensions, transportation and family disruptions.
Community water systems that serve schools will be responsible for testing water.
School leaders share their tips for helping students and staff cope during and after natural disasters.
Commission is studying how to make social, emotional, and academic development "part of the fabric of every school."
Available evidence suggests that legalization for recreational use among adults won't lead to big increases among teens, but more data and research is needed.
One Bay Area school district uses early intervention and outreach to combat chronic absenteeism.

A policy of not failing students till Class 8 has been opposed by a majority of states which want the "no detention policy" under the Right to Education (RTE) Act to be reviewed or withdrawn in its current form, a parliamentary panel report has said.
A policy of not failing students till Class 8 has been opposed by a majority of states which want the "no detention policy" under the Right to Education (RTE) Act to be reviewed or withdrawn in its current form, a parliamentary panel report has said. Only six states or union territories wanted the policy to be retained, the panel examining the RTE (Second Amendment) Bill, 2017, said in its report. The Bill was introduced in August last year to amend the "no detention policy" in the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009.
It was later referred to the parliamentary standing committee on Human Resource Development for a review. Under the "no detention" policy, students cannot be "detained" or failed till the completion of their elementary education or class 8. "The Committee notes that only 6 states/Union Territories desired that the no detention provision be retained and the majority of States/UTs desired either a modification, review
or withdrawal of the … provision in the RTE Act," the panel said in its report.
The findings of the report were shared by the Rajya Sabha secretariat in an official statement issued today. The bill proposes that the "no detention" policy be revisited, and a "regular examination" be held after the academic year in class 5 and class 8. If students fail these examinations, they will be given remedial instructions and the opportunity for a re-test.
The panel said students must be assessed through examinations in classes 5 and 8 and hoped that the "learning of children would improve considerably" in the future. The committee headed by Satyanarayan Jatiya of the BJP further said it was in agreement with the HRD ministry that the states should be allowed to decide whether to detain students in class 5 or 8, or in both classes or not to detain a child in any class till the completion of elementary education.

What does financial need mean on FAFSA?
Heather Maxwell
1 answer
When related to the FAFSA, your financial need is the difference between the cost of attendance and at a school (abbreviated as COA) and your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). Your cost of attendance will vary depending on what school you would like to attend, but your EFC will remain the same.

The Brazilian born tactician said he is satisfied with what he has seen so far since taking over Rise and Shine from Kosta Papic last month.Leal, 64, is optimistic that the Limpopo based outfit will turn the tables around before heading into the Christmas break but also stressed out the fact that there are still more areas his side needs to improve on."They (friendly games) are not official competitive games but we needed to go with everything we have," said Leal."As a player you don't have to be worried about getting injured but think of overcoming your limits."And you have to perform to earn your place and continue working hard , I told them that it doesn't matter whether it's a friendly game or not. "But so far I am satisfied with what I have seen from the team but we must continue working on few steps and areas so that we can develop. "I believe that we'll be a completely different team when the league resume."Rise and Shine are currently 10th on the league after 11 games played and they will face Golden Arrows in their next league assignment away from home on December 19.

How to increase performance by grouping users into separate storage pools -- Part V
If you have a steady flow of batch work, you will want to consider creating a private pool for your batch subsystem(s).
Set up a private pool for batch jobs
In the first four installments of this series on storage pools (Part I, Part II, Part III and Part IV), we discussed strategies for configuring storage pools and directing user jobs into specific pools. So far, however, we have concentrated only on interactive jobs. In this fifth and final installment, we will focus on batch jobs. If you have a steady flow of batch work, you will want to consider creating a private pool for your batch subsystem(s).
How to set up a private pool for batch jobs
Because batch jobs do not have interactions, they are usually constantly executing (unless waiting on a locked record, data queue, etc.). Therefore, the number of activity levels for a batch pool should be equal to the maximum number of jobs that can be active in that pool at the same time.
To determine the maximum number of jobs that can be active in that pool at the same time, display the subsystem description with the DSPSBSD command. Choose option 1 (Operation attributes) and note the number shown for the Maximum jobs in subsystem parameter. Next, go back to the Display Subsystem Description display and choose option 6 (Job queue entries). Total the numbers in the Max active column. (Note: If one or more job queues has *NOMAX specified for Max active, the total will then be *NOMAX.)
Compare this total to the number noted earlier for the Maximum jobs in subsystem; the lesser of the two will be the maximum number of jobs that can be active in one of the subsystem's pools at any given time and, hence, is the number of activity levels you should specify for that pool.
|Ron Turull
Because which job queue the job comes in on has no bearing on which pool the job will execute in (remember this is a function of the routing entries), the above approach to determining the maximum number of jobs that can be active in a pool at the same time works just fine. However, if you have set up specific controls to ensure that fewer jobs are allowed active in a pool (e.g., adopting a procedure that all jobs routed to a certain pool will be submitted to a specific job queue), use this number for the number of activity levels.
The storage size of a batch pool should be equal to the number of activity levels multiplied by the average amount of memory needed for a batch job. Here are some rough guidelines:
- 1 - 3.5 MB for normal production batch jobs. Short and relatively simple jobs should not need more than 1 MB. Long-running and relatively complicated jobs will need up to 3.5 MB.
- 2 MB per query, sort, save and/or restore. Jobs running any type of query (a Query/400 query, a sort, an SQL query, an OPNQRYF, etc.) require about 2 MB for efficiency. Ditto for save or restore jobs.
- 16 MB for compiles. If your batch pool will be handling compiles, allow for about 16 MB per compile job. The ILE compilers gobble up memory, so you may want to bump up to 24 MB per compile job. However, if you are short on memory, you can squeak by on 12 MB per compile, or try submitting all compile jobs through a job queue that has a max active attribute of 1 or 2 (or whatever fits your needs).
Once you have determined size and number of activity levels, you can follow roughly the same procedure that we used to set up interactive pools to set up the new batch pool. Use the CHGSBSD command to add a new pool to a batch subsystem. Then, if you are working with an existing functional subsystem, you can simply change the storage pool identifiers in the existing routing entries using the CHGRTGE command to route jobs to the new pool. Alternatively, you can add a new routing entry to the subsystem, then specify the appropriate routing data on the SBMJOB command when you submit batch jobs.
Remember to monitor the new pool
After you have completed setting up a new pool, don't forget to use the WRKSYSSTS display to monitor the vital signs of the pool (see "How to use the WRKSYSSTS to monitor your system" -– Part I and Part II). Make sure the page fault rates and the wait-to-ineligible transition rate fall below the recommended guidelines.
For interactive pools, you will also want to monitor the individual users using the WRKACTJOB display. Make sure the response times are less than 1.0.

What is Reiki? Is it for Me?
For those that prefer a non-needle option, Reiki is a great option.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. Reiki had been re-discovered in the late 1800's by Dr. Mikao Usui of Kyoto.
What does Reiki feel like?
Reiki's perfectly balanced vibrational frequency is brought to you by the practitioner. Reiki always works for the highest good of the recipient. Reiki always works. You are brought into a deeply relaxing state by Reiki and usually feel a sense of warmth, security and comfort. The channel must remain open and clear for the energy to pass through. There must be no manipulation from the practitioner whether hands-on or intent. The spiritual healing will take place in the manner that is perfect for the recipient at the time of the session. Reiki naturally reduces stress and encourages clarity and vitality.
Acupuncture changed my life – Here's my "why".
I was a western medicine traveling drug rep and fitness fanatic. Ignoring all 'check engine lights' going off in my body to slow down, de-stress and take care of my self, I kept a frenetic schedule. "Keeping up with the Jones'" I called it- otherwise known as : achieve, achieve, achieve. Until one snowy day I walked out of the Sioux Falls, SD airport and schlepped my luggage into my rental car for the 100th time and hurt my back. I was immobile and the security from the airport had to pick me up off the ice.
I then did what most of us do, I went to the doctor. The doctor told me I'd need surgery and drugs for the herniated discs and he could get me on his schedule for surgery in a month. He also mentioned in a positive way that the surgery had a 50% chance of reducing my pain. What? Cut on me and a big surgery for 50% – NO WAY. So I decided to see what I could do for myself. I reluctantly went to a chiropractor, who in the past I had thought were quacks and achieved ok results. It would work for a while but come back.
Thank goodness this chiropractor decided to refer me to an acupuncturist. At the time I remember thinking, NO WAY. I hate needles. Who is this 'granola' person? Do they re-use needles? Is Chinese Medicine quackery? When you are in so much pain you will try anything – and I did. I arrived at the acupuncturist's office and was shocked to see that she was Caucasian and not Chinese. How will this work if she's not even Chinese I thought? …so stereotypical. She told me to expect the pain to be gone in 3-6 treatments. Riiiiiiight? I'm signed up for surgery, chiropractic and massage didn't work and now somehow this will? So I decided to try the treatments. Lo and behold within 4 treatments she had me out of pain and I ultimately avoided surgery.
Why choose Brooke?
Many practitioners offer acupuncture, but you must look for the safest training. Physical Therapists, Chiropractors and some MDs have limited training, sometimes just a weekend certification. Conversely, Licensed Acupuncturists require over 2000 clinical hours on patients, a 4 year Masters Degree and 4 national board exams to be able to perform acupuncture.
Lucky for you… I am:
- A Licensed Acupuncturist (LAc) in Hawaii & Texas
- A Diplomat in Oriental Medicine (DipOM), the highest certification granted by the National Certification Committee of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) serving on the 2018 Board of Directors for the State of Hawaii Acupuncture Association.
- Completed additional training in China, Japan, Indonesia and Thailand over 5 years practicing in a doctor's office with a gynecologist/functional medicine MD and NP

Art and Architecture at The Shops at Crystals
In the heart of the Las Vegas Strip lies The Shops at Crystals. This hard to miss building is home to more high-end flagship stores than any other shopping center in the US. Making it the top destination for luxury shopping in the city.
But it's not just the shopping that makes The Shops at Crystals a premiere destination. The building itself is an artistic retail experience. Whether you're looking for world-class shopping or wanting to see the cutting-edge architecture and design that Vegas is becoming increasingly known for, The Shops at Crystals is well worth a visit.
The architect behind The Shops at Crystals is Daniel Libeskind. His studio is best known for designing a score of museums and art galleries around the world including the Jewish Museum in Berlin and the Denver Art Museum. Libeskind's experience in creating dramatic public spaces is evident at The Shops at Crystals where, depending where you're standing on The Strip, you'll be offered a unique view of the jutting angles and shapes of the complex.
The interiors, constructed by New York based design firm Rockwell Group, were envisioned as an "abstract 21st Century Park". The glitz and glamour of the stores is perfectly balanced by a set of tactile nature based installations and structures.
Visible from almost every location within the center is a three story high wooden Treehouse. More than just a decorative sculpture, the roots of the Treehouse form the Crystals Concierge desk, and the canopy houses a unique dining room for Mastro's Ocean Club Restaurant. Accompanying the Treehouse are flower carpets throughout the center floor. These flower displays are designed around seasonal themes throughout the year.
The other focal point of The Shops at Crystals is the Grand Staircase. Inspired by the Spanish Steps of Rome, which act as a gathering place in the city center. Crystal rocks sourced from around the world are inlaid into each stair and back lit for added effect. The warm colors of the bamboo and Sapele wood against the bright crystals make it a popular spot for photos.
As you enter The Shops at Crystals you'll be met by 'Glacia', an installation of 15 large pillars of ice. Probably not what you'd expect to find in the middle of the Nevada desert, but leave it to Vegas to pull it off. Be sure to get up close to see the coloured lighting and unique carvings adorning each pillar. The other water based feature not to miss is Halo's. Halo's is a visual display of multiple water vortexes' within clear cylinders shooting out through the floor.
The artistic experience of The Shops at Crystals continues in 50 individual designer stores. New York architect Peter Marino was commissioned to do the three-story Louis Vuitton store (the largest Louis Vuitton store in America) and the Ermenegildo Zegna boutique. The Stella McCartney store houses a stunning Swarovski horse chandelier, made up of 7000 individual Swarovski crystals. And a 30-foot cathedral ceiling drapes over a private room in the Harry Winston store.

Sana's latest novel 'Nyctophilia' consumed four years and as the author asserts, similar to an apparition slowly emerging in a silent slender perplexing passage on a never-ending night, Nyctophilia appeared to be his most authentic artifact — the product of an existential enquiry. Nyctophilia is a tale of consciousness. It summons the surreal story of an abandoned absorbed presence struggling with amnesia who (or which) must encounter a few lost-in-life humans to cease his maddening mission.

Continuing their quest to be the leading provider of SoC components for mobile handsets, Qualcomm revealed their new Snapdragon 700 series at MWC 2018 in Barcelona as the conference begins to wrap up.
This latest SoC series seeks to replace Qualcomm's current poster boy in the mid-range segment, the Snapdragon 660 lineup.
So what does the Series 700 bring to the table? For starters, it brings two key features found in Qualcomm's current roster of Snapdragon 800 lineup: faster AI, camera enhancements, and better power management. This signifies a movement to make high-end the new mid-range.
Using its advanced AI engine, the new Snapdragon 700 SoC is capable of doubling the performance of on-device AI computing versus the older Snapdragon 660. It does this by using new architecture in its core: a Hexagon Vector Processor, Adreno Visual Processing subsystem, and Kryo CPU. By utilizing the same Spectra ISP tech found on higher models, Qualcomm is bringing advanced image-capture features like slow-motion tech and advanced HDR capabilities to the lower-tiered 700 series. This should be good news to consumers as this will equate to better image processing performance and features in the mid-range market.
For better battery management, Quick Charge 4+ charges your smartphone up to 50% in just 15 minutes. Now that's sweet. Overall, an estimated 30% improvement in power handling is expected from the new Snapdragon Series 700.
Qualcomm plans on shipping the new SoCs by the first half of 2018. I'm excited to see smartphone manufacturers produce new mid-range phones with near-flagship level capabilities. For now, it remains to be heard who will adopt the new processor first. Drop your thoughts below.

If nothing fires you up like a bug-eyed, plate-size freak of a panfish, then you need to be on the water now--and try these prespawn trophy-slab tactics.
As fishing goes, it doesn't get much easier than filling a bucket with summertime sunnies. But to stack up honest-to-goodness slab panfish--titty bream, elephant perch, and the like--now is the time.
Warm spring days bring your favorite fishing holes to life with tiny baitfish, insects, crustaceans--and the big panfish that love to eat them. Crappies, bluegills, and yellow perch gorge themselves just ahead of the spawn, and like a prison chow line, the big ones eat first.
We found three local-legend panfish fanatics who own the prespawn. These are the guys the church calls each spring for the big fish fry. They can smell a bream bed from 50 yards and feel a crappie bite in their sleep. And they can show you how to catch more slabs right now.
Illustration by Ryan Kirby
Go deep, go native
In 50 years of perch fishing, Lloyd French has heard all the tricks. "Some people chum with minnows or dog food," he says. "Others run the motor over a school that stops biting to fire them back up. One time I even saw a guide fill a clear plastic jug with water and minnows and sink it as a decoy. None of it really works all that well."
French, who mainly fishes Lake Erie, does have some of his own tricks. The first is basic but critical: "If you want to catch big perch, you have to get away from the crowd," he says. "I run 17 miles to get to where there's less pressure. But once I'm there, my average fish will be 11 or 12 inches during the prespawn, including some solid 2-pounders."
The best unpressured spots will produce year after year, and they all have one thing in common: the right depth. "The biggest perch hold near the bottom at 37 to 40 feet, which is deeper than most guys fish now," he says. "Look for pencil-shaped marks on the graph. If you see a few of them just off the bottom, there are probably plenty more holding around."
Although many perch fishermen use a prerigged wire perch spreader, which positions two minnows horizontally, French prefers a vertical rig that has a slip sinker between two hooks. He believes this lighter, sliding rig makes it easier to detect subtle takes. "Once they turn on, the bite is fast. You don't want to miss anything. Usually you can hook one, give it a few seconds, and get another on the second hook," he says. "The key is to keep your rig on the bottom, though. Often, white bass will hold above a school of perch. If you're catching them, you've got your baits up too high."
Regardless of the rig, French insists on using lively, native baitfish. "Here, Lake Erie shiners will outcatch golden shiners five to one. But it may be something different on the lake you're fishing."
Eventually, even the hottest bite will slow down. "If the fish have quit biting and we still need a few more to make a limit, I take a couple of fresh-caught perch from the live well, hook them back up, and drop them down next to my buddy's line," French says (check local regs). "I lift and drop them, and that will often get the school fired up enough to put a few more slab perch in the boat."
