Anyway;-), I rode out to the hills, and really basked in the warm sun. Spinning my cranks in slow circles, just breathing and climbing above the valley, away from the exhaust fumes and the ruckus and the noise, it felt as if a weight had dropped from my shoulders, just like it has felt again and again.
We tend to forget that in our world. We are all bombarded with the latest bad news, with greed and hate and lust and violence, with need and want and whatnot, that we forget that somewhere birds still twitter and don´t preach hate with it, so to say, but just sing, because they feel like singing or because it´s what birds do in spring. And trees just grow, with no meaning needed apart from that. It´s all still there, and we are the ones that have alienated themselves from tree and bird and fox and hare.
Except for something very, very simple. There will always be a view from a hilltop. Maybe you will look down into a valley of ruins and shacks and desolation, and maybe not, but you will always be able to stand upon a hilltop (provided you survive). There maybe even will be birds singing, and maybe some trees still standing. Hope dies last, one says, but as long as one human being still lives, he or she will hope. And what I know for sure is that I always had a hard time living. It´s not that this will change for the better, but if it will change for the worse, I am well accustomed to that. What I want to say is that there will always be things that count. And these things will always count.
A bicycle is but one means to experience these things, but one it is.
So I figured I´d rather have some fond memories of sunlight and trailriding and playing on my bike and drinking spring in a mug of birch sap when sitting in the dark of a bunker or waiting for the cancer to kill me slowly. At least then I will have the notion, however ridiculous it may be, however worthless is may seem at first glance, that even when I am dying in torment, there once was a time when I lived, and really felt alive.
But what is most important: It is NOW that everything basks in a vibrant sun. It is NOW that the birds are singing. It is NOW that the sap rises and the trees sprout and blossom. It is not tomorrow that you can take out your bike to go on a beautiful ride in the sunshine. It is not tomorrow that you will have fun, but NOW. We are still alive. We might not be able to do anything against what will happen soon. So why the fuck should we listen to all the bad news and the next moron telling us not to do this or that? Of course that does not tell you should go out and kill your little sister and eat her shanks seasoned with thyme just because someone told you not to.
But their entire system of morale and value has brought us into this fix. It is not competent to bind us, for its moral integrity is non-existent and therefore non-contiguous. Meaning, those that forged their swords to ploughshares now plough for those that did not. Yap, violence still is not an option. I despise it for the stress that it will give me afterwards. It always comes full - circle, that´s what I am still saying. Some things will always make sense. If you whack someone, chance is, he will strike you back. If you kill someone´s brother, chance is, he will kill you for it, law or justice or not. They tell us (and keep telling us) that man is more than an animal while they act like predators upon us. Yap, man is more than an animal, for no degree of violence such as the one man employs against even his loved ones is known in nature. Foxes kill out of lust, that´s true, but never so much that one endangers an entire local ecosystem. Owls keep mice alive as a food storage and even mast them, but with little impact on the local ecosystem, too. Animals never go that far as man does. We are an abomination, born naked, with no scales to protect us, no bristles to fend off animals, not even fur or pelt, with no fangs nor beak nor claws, and traumatized by it, so much in fact that we are not content in making our own fangs and beaks and claws, but throwing them around the world and making them explode, so that one claw can kill hundreds and hundreds of thousands and millions and our entire species. It is out of fear that we do this.
And now they tell us to fear. They thrive on besting the latest bad news. And they tell us to be prepared when there can be no means of preparation adequate. And they tell us lies that the guy next door, the people in the country some 3000km away are responsible for all that shite. They keep us in fear in order to make us hate and in order to support their own fear and hate.
But it is NOW that the sun is shining. It is NOW that the swallows and bluetits play in the air. It is NOW that the sap is rising and the trees are in blossom. I am content with making my own claws, so that I am up to par with the other animals. I am content with my bike, and I love to play. And, that´s the culprit, why should I not?
For dry leaves that rustle in the wind.
...and a Chinese ************ of a ladybug.
This is spring. This is the wonder of spring.
Bad news today?
Rise like the birch sap. It is spring, the sun is warm. Get out and play in the leaves and scream your joy at the trees!

4 People Reviewed This Product
Jan 19, 2009"Reviewed by Rod Newkirk, VA3ZBB/W9BRD" Each HI HI page is a careful study in itself. Any true ham with the slightest sense of humor should want it for his or her library. Betty's chuckles were S9+.
Nov 24, 2008"Had me rolling in laughter..." Thank you for creating your wonderful collection of ham radio cartoons. I couldn't put it down. You had me rolling in laughter! Your cartoons are so full of details and so insightfully relevant that every ham will find himself in some of them. Thanks for your contribution to the lighter side our wonderful hobby -- this surely will be your legacy. I'm going to share the laughs with my fellow hams here at MFJ. 73s, Martin, K5FLU Martin F.

Oct 1, 2008"HI HI - Review as published in "Break In", organ of NZART" Hi Hi – A collection of ham radio cartoons - By Dick Sylvan W9CBT Published by Sylvan Design Associates Ltd - 2005 Soft cover 111 pp ISBN 1-4116-619-8 For the past few years the Amateur Radio Club in Chicago, IL has published an excellent free E-Magazine entitled K9YA Telegraph. One of the regular features has been a series of cartoons on radio topics by Dick Sylvan W9CBT. Dick is a long-time amateur and he retired in 2004 after a career as an industrial designer. The combination of these and Dick's obvious quirky sense of humour has resulted in an entertaining collection of cartoons that previously appeared in the Telegraph. Dick has managed to cover much of hamdom's jargon and phrases. "Break In" gets special attention! The original cartoons appeared in colour but their reproduction in monochrome in no way detracts from their enjoyment. This booklet is highly recommended as a great present for yourself... More > or a ham friend. It is available through the Internet through the K9YA Web site at www.k9ya.org/w9cbt at the modest price of $10.95 plus freight. The well-packed book arrived very quickly after ordering. Ralph Sutton ZL2AOH< Less
Jan 2, 2008"Full of laughs!" I loved this book! It's chocked full of laughs. The cartoons are very inventive and darn funny. You can see how Rube Goldberg was an inspiration for many of the author's ideas. In fact you don't even need to be a ham radio operator to get enjoy this book. What a treat!

2018 LPGA AMATEURS GOLF ASSOCIATION - CENTRAL INDIANA CHAPTER – LEAGUE FAQ's
What do I need to do to play?
You must contact your coordinator at least 1 day prior to league night or reply back to League email invitation, in order for her to pair you up with a foursome. Email any league coordinator using email@example.com. Make sure you include the evening and course you are interested in. Tell the league coordinator of any time restrictions you may have For example, "I'd like to play in one of the last foursomes. If you'd like to play with a particular lady, let your league coordinator know. She will do her best to set up the arrangement.
Please check your schedule first when signing up for a league night. While we all understand that there are unexpected events that force us to be late or miss a league night, one person's late arrival or cancellation affects everyone.
What should I expect during league?
What should I bring to league?
Everyone varies with what they bring to league night, but some good guidelines are: golf clubs, shoes, golf balls & tees, hat/visor/sunglasses, sunscreen, bug spray, rain gear, and jacket/sweater. Remember that we live in Indiana and the weather can change very quickly. Also, all the courses have snack bars where you can buy food & drinks.
I am a new golfer and am intimidated by the thought of playing with more experienced golfers.
I'm running late to league and won't make it in time! What should I do?
Keep your league coordinator phone number on hand. If you are running late to league night, or can't make it altogether, please call or text the league coordinator as soon as possible.
What if the inclement weather occurs?
In the event of inclement weather, the league coordinator will call the golf course to see if they are closed. If so, the coordinator will send out email notification cancelling league night. A good gauge is that if you haven't seen a cancellation email by 4:30, assume the league night is on as scheduled. If you have any concerns, call the league coordinator.
I still have more questions – who can I contact?
Feel free to contact the League Chair, Charline Avey Email: email@example.com.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty, R-Minn., recently elected chair of the National Governors Association (NGA), has named an initiative called Securing a Clean Energy Future as his focus during his term as NGA chair.
According to the governor's office, Securing a Clean Energy Future calls for an examination of ways that governors and states can increase production of cleaner domestic fuels, promote advanced electricity generation, improve energy efficiency and conservation, and accelerate research and development of clean energy technologies.
'Our country is too dependent on imported sources of energy, and greenhouse gas emissions continue to grow too quickly,' Pawlenty says. 'Governors have a tremendous opportunity to lead the country toward a cleaner, more independent, more secure energy future.'

Jim Kessler observes that poor economic conditions don't per se guarantee gigantic losses for the president's party in the midterms:
All in all, the president's party holds some pretty bad cards — but even so, this year needn't be like 1994. If Democrats take a close look at what happened that year, they can avoid repeating it. And if they look to another election year, 1982, they might even find inspiration in an unlikely place: President Ronald Reagan's leadership. In the run-up to that year's midterm elections, Reagan faced 10.8 percent unemployment, 6 percent inflation, a declining GDP, an approval rating barely above freezing and the indignity of having drastically increased the budget deficit over the previous year after running as a fiscal hawk. You can't get a hand much worse than that, but Reagan nonetheless managed to hold all 54 GOP Senate seats while losing only 26 House races.
When I first read that I was genuinely surprised at the loss of zero Senate seats so I looked it up and, indeed, Democrats made no net Senate gains though seats in Virginia and New Mexico did flip:
What strikes me about this map is how long ago 1982 was in terms of the evolution of the American party system. Democrats held on to seats in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas while the GOP maintained control of seats in California, Vermont, and Connecticut. It strikes me that in today's more ideologically- and geographically-aligned party system, the fate of congressional candidates is probably more closely tied to assessments of the president than was the case in the past.

Among the growing share of religious nones in the U.S., a majority say that questioning religious teachings is one important factor in their lack of religious affiliation.
A Pew Research analysis released Aug. 8 explored the reasons that people give for being nones.
As of 2014, roughly 23 percent of U.S. adults said their religion is nothing in particular, according to Pew, an increase from 16 percent in 2007.
Pews new analysis based on a survey conducted in late 2017 asks more than 1,300 religiously unaffiliated adults about why they do not identify with a religion. The vast majority of religious nones were raised in a religion, but have since fallen away.
Sixty percent of respondents said questioning a lot of religious teachings was an influential factor in their lack of religious affiliation. Nearly half said they dislike positions that religious groups take on social and political issues.
Forty-one percent said they do not like religious organizations, and 34 percent said they do not like religious leaders. Just over one-third said they do not believe in God, and a similar percentage said religion is irrelevant in their lives.
The data indicated some differences among subgroups of unaffiliated individuals. Among atheists, nearly 90 percent said that not believing in God was a significant factor in their lack of religious affiliation. In contrast, just 37 percent of agnostics gave the same answer, and 21 percent of those who are nothing in particular.
Sixty-three percent of atheists said religion is irrelevant to them, compared to 40 percent of agnostics and 26 percent of those who are nothing in particular.
Other answers saw more consistent responses. About half of all subgroups said they dislike the positions churches take on social or political issues. Between 31 and 42 percent of each subgroup said they dislike religious leaders.
Asked about the single most important reason they are not affiliated with a religion, atheists pointed to their lack of belief in God, while agnostics cited their questioning of many religious teachings. Among those who are nothing in particular, no single reason predominated.

Dave Jones said he has been in and out of jail since he was a child, the product of a less-than-desirable family situation.
But Jones recently took a major step to break that cycle by earning his high school degree.
"It showed me that I can actually do something if I put my mind to it," Jones, 19, said Wednesday in an interview inside the Somerset County Jail. "With a little help from somebody else, anything can happen."
Jones is the first inmate at the Somerset County Jail to earn a high school diploma for course-work and "cell work" completed behind bars.
The inmate educational program is administered by Appalachia Intermediate Unit 08, one of several regional educational service agencies created by state Legislature in 1970 to support school districts, expand services and "provide cost savings to taxpayers by eliminating service redundancy and taking advantage of (economies) of scale," according to its Web site.

Based on Isaiah 34 and Isaiah 63, Edom seems to have a key role in end time events, especially with the heavens rolling up like a scroll. This post looks briefly at other Old Testament passages that mention Edom and that could potentially have an end times element. It is written in notes form. Continue reading

The heavens rolling up as a scroll – an alternative explanation
An event in the earth's atmosphere causing catastrophic turbulence and destroying satellites is offered as an explanation for the heavens rolling up like a scroll and its impact on the host of heaven. Let me explain why there seems to be strong Scriptural support for this interpretation. Continue reading
What sort of medium does the Bible hint at?
Let's summarise what sort of medium the Bible hints at based on our earlier studies. There are three key things that I want to focus on – two that are related to the heavens (shamayim) and one that is related to the skies (shachaq). Continue reading
Rule the nations with a rod of iron
Jesus is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron (Revelation 12:5). I noticed that I had been selectively tuning out this phrase because I didn't understand it. So what does it mean? When is this going to happen? Continue reading
The Moon and the Sun Much Brighter
In Isaiah 30:26 the moon will be as bright as the sun and the sun will be seven times as bright, like the light of seven days. While it is not uncommon for passages of Scripture to talk about the sun and moon going dark, this is the only passage I know that explicitly says that the sun and moon will shine brighter – much brighter. I have two questions. When will this happen and is the moon's reflectivity close to one seventh?
Moving Mountains
Moving mountains was mentioned by Jesus in the context of having faith in God in Mark 11. But what I find surprising in the Bible is the number of times that moving mountains is mentioned in the context of end times. I don't think that this is figurative language but something that is actually going to happen.
Red Moons, Eclipses and End Times
Last week there was a total lunar eclipse, a red moon. This is the first of four full lunar eclipses in a row, six months apart, with all four falling on the Jewish festivals of Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles. While there has been some talk on the internet about what might be the significance of all this, especially from the perspective of the nation of Israel, I would like to examine what the Scriptures say.

The August Cocoa Daisy kit is live, selling and oh so good!
I added some orange nail polish.
Stamped a couple of birds.
Cut out some cutty-out things.
Splashed some paint.
And typed up some journaling.
I printed some printables.
Distressed some stickers.
Added some thread.
And remembered a yummy moment.
I used a business card.
Found a wonderful quote.
Created a machine stitched border.
Splashed some water colour paint on a stamped bird.
And let the words tell my story.
Working with this kit was easy, just don't tell anyone!

College is often the first time a student gets to live outside the comforts of home. While living in a dorm on campus is a most comfortable and ideal choice for many, it does have some disadvantages that living in an off-campus apartment in Blacksburg, VA does not. As such, living off campus can be a good choice.
However, choosing to live off campus will greatly affect your overall college experience.
To help you decide if living off-campus is for you, here are a few considerations you should make.
The Commute
One of the biggest, if not most time-consuming, factor you should consider is the commute you'll have if you live outside your campus. While living in a dorm on campus means spending a lot less time going to and from the classroom, living off campus means traveling to and from school to your apartment or housing.
The Financial Situation
On-campus housing options are usually far more expensive than off-campus choices. On-campus dorms often come with a meal plan, which is usually expensive: Students can expect to pay between $8,887 to $10,089 for dorming. Off-campus options can be way cheaper.
The Responsibility
On campus residents are monitored by housing staff, and are given housing guidelines they need to adhere to. Off campus residents, on the other hand, have it easier than on campus residents, although the risk of danger and of poor discipline due to a lighter enforcement of guidelines.

Janša: "Smolnikar was a secret agent of the Criminal Investigation Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs...my dismissal was a set-up"
Ljubljana, 29 April - PARTIES/SDSS/JANŠA/SMOLNIKAR
Some quotations in the report on the Smolnikar case drawn up by the Minister of Internal Affairs Ivan Bizjak, and which was submitted to the Prime Minister, indicate that Smolnikar had been a secret agent of the Criminal Investigation Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs since March, 1994, and that he had been accumulating secret military information at the Ministry of Defence. There are also some suspicions in the report that he was gathering information not only for the Criminal Investigation Service, but also for "others". These facts throw new light on the events which took place in Depala Vas, said Janez Janša, who has also shown journalists fragments of the above-mentioned report, and some other documents.

My mom has requested her "grandson fix," so in her honour, some pictures:
Iain and Isaiah at Cow Appreciation Day:
Jenna and her new ergo. She's standing in front of those sticks I have on the wall; it's not her hair sticking out. :) Look at my cute nephew!
Hopscotch on the back deck:
My, what a handsome fellow.
Early July found us at the boys' first movie ever: Veggie Tales' The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything. Liz and Penny joined us, though Penny didn't last too long. It was a valiant effort. At Jeremy's request, I bought them popcorn, but they didn't eat much of it (the three of us couldn't even finish the kid-sized portion). Cory sat on my lap for most of the movie and loved it; he kep asking, "What is going to happen next?" Iain, my very visual child, was a bit scared but bravely stuck it out, burrowing his face into my side occasionally. Cory loved "the yellin' cheetos" and Iain favored the Rock Monsters.
Silly Cory:
Silly Iain's pose when I told him I was going to put pictures on the blog for Nona:
The boys have been asking for ages to ride the train at the mall. We decided that when the baby sister came home, we'd do it to celebrate. But we needed something to keep up morale around here one day, so we decided we will go again when the baby sister comes home.
They loved the train ride. Cory sang "I am a conductor riding a train" half the time. They had to sit in the caboose, of course. They waved to everyone we passed and told people they couldn't keep up with us. Liz and Penny joined us for this adventure, too - we are so glad to have them along on these adventures!
After the train ride, the boys played in the mall play place. Fearless Cory just jumped and jumped off everything the whole time.

So. Make up. It's not often that I wear it, but still, I'm super picky about which brands I'll use. I have always made the effort to opt for natural eye-make up, which just makes a lot of sense to me, and without a doubt, this is the best natural mascara I have come across. Actually, pretty much the best mascara in general. In my opinion.
Previously I have been using another very reputable brand of mascara, which I was perfectly happy with until now. It's hard to avoid drawing comparisons, but as soon as I applied the Eye of Horus mascara I noticed the difference. Without defaming the other brand (I still love their products), Eye of Horus was a very clear winner.
This mascara applied more easily and dried quickly. Once it was on my lashes, there was absolutely no smudging, and tears had no effect (yes, sometimes there can be tears around here). I was also super impressed with how long my lashes looked - in fact, I almost wouldn't bother putting any other eye-make-up on when using Eye of Horus, it's effective just on it's own. Which makes it the perfect portable make-up.
I love these things most:
- Easy application - quick to dry. Perfect for folk (like me) who don't want to dilly dally with putting on make-up.
- Durability - You could wear this for several days straight and it would look the same. I'm not gonna admit how I know this. I just do ;-).
- Adds volume. Seriously. I have short lashes, and this stuff makes them look long.
- This mascara arrived with a list of tips for application and removal. Super useful.
- Fits perfectly in my wallet so that I am never caught without...
My other new favourite is this stick of Karen Murrell Rymba Rhythm. This lipstick made one of the prizes in the recent giveaway I hosted, and I was lucky enough to have one sent out to trial too. This is a serious, show-stopping red, and I love it. Guess what I'll be wearing on my lips when I go out tonight?! To a Playcentre AGM, thanks for asking. And yes, my life is that glamorous. You thought so, didn't you.
Like Eye of Horus, Karen Murrell is another brand committed to providing beauty products that are free of nasty stuff. When you consider how quickly chemicals enter our body/bloodstream through application to the skin and our lips, I mean, direct entry, it makes it feel very worth while to choose make-up brands carefully.
I love these things most:
- This is such a pretty, luminous shade of red. That alone qualifies it as a favourite.
- Love the ethos behind this brand. Respect.
- Can anyone say 'pretty packaging'? I can.
- Even the canisters are eco-friendly, yah.
- So many cool shades (and pretty packages).
If you are in the market for new, natural make up products, these are two legit brands to check out.

|Looking down from the Calgary Tower observation deck - photo imgur at buzzfeed
In 1996 there were few, if any, regional CPTED organizations and there were no international CPTED organizations. Even today it remains the only global association offering a certification program for CPTED practitioners.
The bi-annual conference is an ICA showcase for new theories, emerging practices, and creative ideas in crime prevention through environmental design.
The roster does not disappoint. Consider these topics:
- Translating CPTED into transport environment during London's Olympics
- The return of displacement - CPTEDs nightmare
- Implementing CPTED from Queensland, Australia to Pompano Beach, Florida
- Urban design and criminality in Brazil
- The crime capital of Canada - a community response
- Inclusive urban spaces in Latin America for women
- Perspectives of crime and disorder in South Africa
- CPTED in cyber space
|Sunrise over Calgary, site of the 2015 CPTED conference - photo by Michael C, Tourism Calgary
Michael Sutton is a criminologist from Nottingham Trent University in the UK and will talk about "The routine activity theory of crime masquerading as causality"
Dr. Randal Atlas, myself, and ICA Executive Director Barry Davidson will facilitate an open session about homelessness and CPTED and what practitioners might do to better respond.
Rachel Armitage, professor of criminology and director of the Secure Societies Instutute a the University of Huddersfield, UK and Chris Joyce of the West Yorkshire Police will present "Why my house; Exploring offender perspectives on risk and protective factors in residential housing design"

Some other items of note from Finance Bill 2017.
In addition to the key measures in the previous article, Finance (No. 2) Bill 2016-17 contained further information on some other tax measures. Here, we highlight updates on the requirement to correct, museums and galleries exhibition tax relief, the allowance for pensions advice, foreign pension schemes, and the reduced money purchase annual allowance.
Requirement to Correct
Legislation had previously been published introducing a new legal obligation for those impacted to correct any issue in relation to their 'offshore matters' that has given rise to a UK tax liability. This requirement is described as a Requirement to Correct (RTC). RTC requires any tax issue mainly or wholly relating to offshore matters for all periods up to 5 April 2017 to be corrected by 30 September 2018. This date is consistent with the date information will be exchanged with HMRC from around 100 countries under the Common Reporting Standard (CRS). The level of sanctions for those who fail to correct when required to do so are unprecedented. Penalties will start at 200 percent of the tax liability (can be reduced but no lower than 100 percent). For the most serious cases an additional penalty of up to 10 percent of the value of the relevant asset will apply as well as the reputational damage of being 'named and shamed' on a public website.
In the 20 March FB 2017 clauses, the Government has provided some more clarity around what a reasonable excuse is. The key is to take some reassurance action now to ensure there is no failure to correct. For further information see our article Do you hold offshore assets? Take care not to trip up!
Museums and galleries exhibition tax relief
Finance Bill 2017 includes a new tax relief for exhibitions of scientific, historic, artistic or cultural interest. This will largely apply to museums and galleries, but can also apply to libraries, archives, historic homes, outdoor exhibitions, universities, or similar institutions hosting an exhibition which is open to the general public. Claimant companies must be either a charity, or wholly owned by a charity or local authority. Although the company responsible for the exhibition needs to be within the charge to corporation tax, charitable companies still qualify even if they do not actually pay corporation tax. The relief is very generous, offering 16-20p in the £ for the costs of producing and de-installing exhibitions, and can also be claimed by venues who are hosting an exhibition whilst on tour. The relief applies from 1 April 2017 so it is worth ensuring that exhibitions will meet the qualifying criteria and that systems are in place to track the relevant costs.
Pensions advice
The Finance Bill introduces a £500 tax allowance for employer-funded advice on pensions and on general financial and tax issues relating to pensions, as long as it is offered either to all employees, or to all employees at a particular location, or to all employees (or all at a location) within five years of their minimum pension age.
Foreign pension schemes
Under provisions in the Finance Bill:
Reduced money purchase annual allowance
Following consultation the Government has included provision in Finance Bill 2017 to reduce the money purchase annual allowance (MPAA) from £10,000 to £4,000 with effect from 6 April 2017. The MPAA applies when someone receives benefits in a flexible way from a defined contribution pension scheme – e.g. takes their pot as a single lump sum or a series of lump sums, or takes drawdown income. It restricts future tax-relieved contributions to defined contribution pension schemes and is in place to prevent excessive 'recycling' of income through pensions.

BlackBerry Touts DTEK50 Android Phone's High Security
BlackBerry Touts DTEK50 Android Phone's High Security
The $299 DTEK50 Android smartphone has a 5.2-inch touch-screen display and is the second BlackBerry handset designed without the company's traditional physical keyboard.
BlackBerry DTEK50 Smartphone
The DTEK50 features a 5.2-inch Full HD display with a scratch- and smudge-resistant cover glass, a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 octa-core processor, an Adreno 405 graphics processor, 3GB of memory, 16GB of on-board flash storage and a microSD card slot for additional storage up to 2TB.
Powered by Android 6.0
The consumer- and enterprise-aimed handset, which runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, also includes a 13-megapixel rear-facing auto-focus main camera with HD video recording, an f2.0 lens and 4x digital zoom, an 8-megapixel fixed focus front-facing camera with 1080 HD video recording and image and video stabilization, and a 2,610mAh non-removable lithium-ion battery with fast charging capabilities.
Broad Connectivity Options
The DTEK50 is a 4G LTE GSM quad-band phone that also includes WiFi, Bluetooth and Near-field Communication connectivity capabilities. The handset, which also includes a user-programmable convenience key, is 5.79 inches tall, 2.85 inches wide and 0.29 inches thick, and weighs 4.76 ounces. Also included are Android for Work features for incorporation by enterprise IT departments and users, as well as enterprise mobility management support.
BlackBerry's Second Android Smartphone Model
The new DTEK50 includes built-in hardware security features like those in the earlier Priv (at left), including malware protection and data back-up, wipe and restore capabilities. Other included software allows users to control which apps get access to personal information or device features, such as the microphone or camera.
Built-In, Toughened Security
The DTEK50 smartphone lets users manage their security and privacy options and services through a special DTEK app that provides automatic monitoring of the operating system and apps so they know when their privacy could be at risk. The app also provides options for users to improve their privacy and data security on their devices when threats are identified. In addition, BlackBerry says it will deliver security patches for DTEK50 users on the same day that Google publicly releases information about them, unlike many Android phone vendors.
Features Full Data Encryption
The handset also includes a multi-step boot process that verifies that each component is fully secure before proceeding, ensuring that the smartphone has not been tampered with since the last restart. Additional operating system hardening is also provided to the Android operating system on the device, as well as FIPS 140-2 compliant full-disk encryption for user and business data on the handset.
BlackBerry's Touch-Screen Intelligent Keyboard
The DTEK50 uses BlackBerry Intelligent Keyboard software to learn how users type and help them increase their typing speed and accuracy. The software also provides word suggestions in up to three languages, which users can then add quickly in the midst of conversations. Users can also swipe to delete a previous word or to toggle between letters, numbers and characters. The handset is available for preorder in the United States, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and The Netherlands. Preorder customers through ShopBlackBerry.com will also receive a free BlackBerry Mobile Power Pack portable charger worth $59.99 as a special offer through Aug. 8.

For my first Top Five Friday, I decided to do books I wish would get more readers. I'm always so happy when my recommendation encourages someone else to pick up a book I loved.
1 (and 1.5!): Dominance by Will Lavender, Obedience by Will Lavender
So yes, I'm sort of cheating by squeezing two books into my first selection, but they are both by the same author, and it seems like almost no one else has read these brilliant novels. They've got incredible mysteries, tons of twists, and entire novels created within these two novels that hold clues the characters and readers use to solve disappearances and murders. I cannot recommend these enough. I'm hopeful if more people pick them up, maybe his third book will finally come out.
2. Visiting Hours: A Memoir of Friendship and Murder by Amy Butcher
I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this at a recent ALA convention, and I could not be happier that I did. I'm honestly not sure I would have known about this book otherwise. When the author was in college, a friend of hers committed a murder, killing someone they both knew and had been close to. Visiting Hours explores friendship, growing up, mental illness, and how well we can ever really know someone else.
3. Gracefully Grayson by Ami Polonsky
In the interest of full disclosure, this book was written by a friend of my mom's. But in total honesty, I would recommend this book wholeheartedly regardless. The protagonist is an incredibly nuanced and emotionally resonant character who is male-assigned, but emerging as her true self, a girl, trying to find herself during the already-complicated junior high years.
4. My Age of Anxiety: Fear, Hope, Dread, and the Search for Peace of Mind by Scott Stossel
As someone with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, I just really appreciate this book. It's well-written, insightful, comforting, and informational. It's a book that I think is really helpful and powerful for people who have any form of anxiety, and people who know and love people with anxiety.
5. Quirkyalone by Sasha Cagen
The subheading describes the book as a manifesto for uncompromising romantics, but that is not why I love this book. I love this book because it celebrates those of us who love and value our time alone, who are not only fine but happy being single, who take happiness from our relationships with family and friends, and who take happiness from just being ourselves. This book made me feel more understood, and validated.

Wearin' O' the Green in Santa Barbara
can be seen today in the jewelry and fingernails of my grocery bagger and on the concrete statue of a great Dane. For years, this life-sized replica, on the corner of Mission Street and Garden, has been saluting every holiday, be it Easter, Christmas or Girl Scout's Day, by wearing a colorful, whimsical costume.

Anitra,"Top of the morning to you!" Did you know where that saying originated? It was actually New Zealand. By the way,that dog looks like the real deal. At a quick glance,I thought that was a dog wearing a real St. Patrick's Day outfit. Great photography on your part as usual!ReplyDelete
Hi Jonathan,ReplyDelete
As always, nice to hear from you. Thanks for your cheerful and informative comments. And, "Top of the morning" to you too!
Your grocery bagger's hand looks like she's modeling jewelry on The Price is Right!!!
Awesome photos as always!! :-)
Hi Mark,ReplyDelete
Always good to hear from you. Looking at the grocery bagger's hand, once again, I can see what you mean. I hadn't thought of the comparison. What a charming observation! Thanks :)
Green certainly is a beautiful color. I was driving around the Palos Verdes peninsula yesterday and the hillsides are covered in different shades of green. That's why I love this time of year.ReplyDelete
And Anitra, I'm sure you gave your grocery bagger feedback on how to model that beautiful ring. =)
Yes, California is wonderfully green right now, which is lovely to look at, but not so great for allergies. And, at this very moment, it's raining.ReplyDelete
On the jewelry and fingernails, actually, my feedback was quite brief. I was hoping for something more like ballet hands, but didn't want to hold up the checkout line.
So nice to hear from you, Joseph.
Anitra,by looking at your photograph,I thought once a Model,always a Model.But there is so much more depth to you,not only are you a succesful Model/Actress,your such a beautiful person,your words and photography has really touched me.Please keep up the great work,as it is much needed,and appreciatedReplyDelete
Thank you so much for your kind words; you're a generous soul Roger. I think the depth you speak of applies to you as well.ReplyDelete
What you have said means a great deal to me and is much appreciated.
Sincerely, Anitra
These are some great photos! I always see that dog statue whenever I am in town driving to my parents house. Such a staple in the neighborhood and surrounding areas. I especially love it during the Christmas season! Always dressed to impress! If you are looking for a good and budget friendly hotel I recommend the Sandman Inn (www.thesandmaninn.com). Really affordable and the location is great!ReplyDelete
Hello Rose,ReplyDelete
Nice to hear from you. Glad you're enjoying my blog. Yes, that Saint Bernard statue is a SB celebrity.
Thanks for your lodging tips.
Sincerely, ~ Anitra

U.K. Tax Credit Vital to Film Industry Health: Study
The movie sector contributes $7.4 billion to the British economy, but any threat to tax system would see a collapse in output, according to an independent 100-page report published Monday.
LONDON -- Cut the film tax credit, and the U.K. movie production sector would collapse to be around 71 percent smaller without it, and the contribution made to the British economy would also shrink.
That's the stark warning contained in an independent 100-page report published Monday by Oxford Economics.
STORY: British Government to Introduce Tax Credits For Million Dollar-Plus Budgeted TV Shows
The country's movie sector did deliver the British economy a much-needed £4.6 billion ($7.4 billion) fillip, a small but notable uptick from the $6.5 billion figure heralded two years ago, the last time the research was compiled.
The Economic Impact of the U.K. Film Industry -- commissioned by the British Film Institute,publicly listed studio facilities group Pinewood Shepperton, The British Film Commission and Creative England -- concludes that with the Film Tax Relief in place, the industry should grow over the coming two years and beyond.
The report paints a dark picture of the industry should any government choose to axe the system in place.
The detailed research argues that the tax credit system provides good value for money with a current cost to HM Treasury of about £114 million ($183.7 million) a year.
It means that for every £1 ($1.60) pumped in by the government via the credit, an extra £12 ($19) in GDP is generated.
STORY: British Indie Filmmakers Bolstered by U.K. Tax Credit
Without the film credit, national GDP would be reduced by about £1.4 billion ($2.25 billlion) a year with tax revenues falling by £430 million ($693 million) a year.
Culture, Communications and the Creative Industries Minister Ed Vaizey said the report highlights "the huge contribution that the U.K. film industry makes to long-term economic growth."
The report, published every two years by Oxford Economics, has become a tool for lobbyists looking to ensure government's continue to regard the movie sector here as a big contributor to the British economy.
With the current government pledging to support the existing tax credits over the coming years, the report will help them rest easy with that decision.
The wide-ranging report takes into account the broad contribution from the film industry across employment, production, distribution and the supply chain as well as tourism.
Total exports of the film industry in 2010 stood at £2.1 billion ($3.4 billion) up from the $1.9 billion posted two years.
STORY: British Film Institute Defends U.K. Film Tax Credits as 'Stable and Legitimate'
But last year saw estimated capital investment in the core U.K. film industry plummet to £96 million ($155 million), down from the $213 million estimate of 2009.
But the research says much of this fall may be accounted for by harsh economic conditions that have seen a fall in wages, tightened margins and less production finance swilling around.
The report also notes the number of jobs has risen with the U.K. film industry directly employing almost 44,000 people, up from 36,000 in 2009.
Projected inward investment levels --- cash flowing into production largely from studio-backed projects -- is forecast upwards, giving government bean counters reasons to be cheerful.
Pinewood played host to Les Miserables with Russell Crowe turning out for Oscar winner Tom Hooper before Angelina Jolie and company arrived for Walt Disney's Maleficent to film.
And Shepperton is currently revving with Fast and the Furious 6, while the Tom Cruise starrer All You Need Is Kill is the first production to shoot at Warner Bros.' U.K. studio facility Leavesden Studios.
"We expect the core U.K. film industry to continue to attract around 8 percent of global film production over the period to 2015, with spend on inward investment productions bettering its record 2011 level of £1 billion ($1.6 billion) per year," the report noted.
STORY: 'Downton Abbey' Could Get U.K. Tax Credit
With Warner Bros.' $160 million investment in Leavesden Studios and healthy levels of business reported across the major studio facilities including Pinewood Shepperton, trade with the studios and other North American players looks set to continue.
Inward investment alone is estimated to account for about £3.7 billion ($6 billion) of film's contribution to GDP and £1 billion ($1.6 billion) in Exchequer revenues in 2010, up marginally from the last report's levels.
Pinewood Shepperton chief executive Ivan Dunleavy said there is more to be done, despite the promising figures produced during a tough economic climate.
"We now need to look at how to enable further investment in infrastructure and how to build on the U.K.'s growing international reputation to boost exports," Dunleavy said. "By making gains in these areas film can provide more jobs and help play our part in bringing growth to the U.K. economy."
Creative England CEO Caroline Norbury noted the report's findings as a way to figure out where to focus future efforts.
"What is particularly interesting in this report is how together the film, TV and games industries are ensuring the U.K. remains a center for innovation; retaining its competitive edge," she said.
Adrian Wootton, chief executive of Film London and the British Film Commission, said he was delighted the report "demonstrates not only the value in terms of production spend on inward investment but also the huge revenue generated by film tourism as a result of the U.K. being depicted on screens across the globe."
BFI CEO Amanda Nevill said: "This comprehensive report shows, without a shadow of a doubt, that film is an industry driving growth in the U.K.'s economy. It's a story of great British talent and sustained investment really paying off."

WWF Applauds Passage of Legislation to Curb Illegal Fishing
Senate Commerce Bill Codifies WWF Recommendations to Ensure Productive, Sustainable Commercial Fisheries
- Date June 24, 2008
Media Contact
- WWF Communications firstname.lastname@example.com
WASHINGTON, June 24, 2008 – World Wildlife Fund (WWF) applauded the passage of legislation today by the Senate Commerce Committee that would significantly improve fisheries monitoring and enforcement.
The legislation, S. 2907, International Fisheries Stewardship and Enforcement Act, would help end destructive fishing practices, including illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, said Bill Fox, WWF vice president of fisheries. The legislation would address concerns raised in three recent reports issued by WWF and TRAFFIC on illegal fishing and would implement many of the recommendations outlined in the reports. The bill passed the Commerce Committee by unanimous consent.
Fox hailed the bill's passage as an important step forward for fisheries management. "Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing is threatening the collapse of regional fisheries and the economies that depend on them, and is driving various fish species to unprecedented low levels. S. 2097 will bolster the sustainability of the world's fisheries by establishing an enforcement protocol that has real teeth and robust funding," said Fox.
In the past year, WWF and TRAFFIC, the global wildlife trade monitoring program of WWF and IUCN-the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, have issued a series of reports on improving fisheries management and addressing IUU fishing. A 2007 report, Catching On? Trade-related measures as a fisheries management tool, examined the marked increase in the use of trade-related measures by regional fishery management organizations over the past decade. Another TRAFFIC report published in 2007, Trading Tails: Linkages between Russian salmon fisheries and East Asian market, examined inconsistencies in trade reporting, and recommended a package of measures to bring the Far East salmon fishery and its market under control.
And earlier this year, WWF published a report, Illegal Fishing in Arctic Waters: Catch of Today - Gone Tomorrow? that examined IUU fishing in the Barents Sea and the Sea of Okhotsk and outlined five key recommendations for addressing the problem: improving coordination and communications among enforcement entities; banning transshipments on "flag of convenience" vessels; strengthening international cooperation among coastal, flag and port states; increasing penalties for IUU fishing; and implementing mandatory traceability systems.
S. 2907 would codify many of the recommendations contained in the three reports. Specifically, it would consolidate enforcement authority, making it easier to ensure compliance with laws and treaties; ensure greater traceability of seafood products; increase penalties for violation of IUU laws and regulations; combat fraudulent labeling of seafood; and establish a blacklist of vessels known to engage in IUU activities.
The legislation would also increase funding for enforcement activities. Crawford Allan, director of TRAFFIC North America, applauded the funding increase: "We are very pleased with the substantial boost in law enforcement funding that would be provided under this bill. Laws and treaties designed to ensure the sustainability and protection of species are of limited value when there are insufficient resources to enforce compliance."
In a letter yesterday to Senators Inouye (D-Hawaii) and Stevens (R-Alaska) – the chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the Commerce Committee – Jason Patlis, WWF vice president for U.S. government relations, expressed support for the funding authorized in the bill, but stressed the importance of securing annual funding from the Appropriations Committee, on which both Inouye and Stevens serve. "The $30 million authorized in section 201(e) is to be applauded, and WWF stands ready to work with you in support of securing necessary appropriations in order to ensure that the strong measures contained in this legislation are equally strong in practice throughout the oceans of the world," he wrote.

Report points that Ogun state chapter of All progressives congress seems not in shape as Former deputy governor of Ogun State, Rafiu Ogunleye, has accused Governor Ibikunle Amosun of trying to force former governor of the state, Aremo Olusegun Osoba and other party stalwarts of the All Progressives Party, APC out of the party.
But in a swift reaction, APC publicity secretary in the state, Sola Lawal described Ogunleye's statement as unfortunate.
According to him, the former number two man "became everything he is today on the platform of the progressives before he defected to the PDP. As at today is still a member of the APC and no one has left the party for other political parties."
The former deputy governor, who served with Osoba on the platform of Alliance for Democracy, AD, between 1992 and 1993, however said he warned Amosun against his action six months after he was elected governor but refused to change. Ogunleye, who has declared his governorship ambition under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, claimed he was part of those that brought about Amosun's emergence as
Speaking after he submitted his letter of intent to the PDP Chairman in the state, Bayo Dayo, at the party Secretariat in Abeokuta, Ogunleye said the APC had lost its founding fathers to other parties.
Ogunleye said "Let me tell you something, the AC element in APC in Ogun amounts to almost 75 to 80 per cent and they have gradually left APC. You are in this state and you know what is happening. It doesn't give me happiness. I have participated in the politics of the state and I can say that I participated in installing the present government."
, I played a key role.
"Having installed the government, it is not doing what is expected for party members who worked hard to get him into that position. We discovered that as soon as he got there, he tried to separate everybody. I had a cause to meet him in 2011 barely six months after he got into power and I told him that within six months, he was already losing people, that people were not happy with him.
"But, instead of seeing changes, the situation became aggravated. People became disgruntled, members of the party became disgruntled and the party broke into two. So, there was ACN group on one side and the SIA group on the other hand. You can't run a party like that. That was the reason many of us decided to leave the party, when there was no
improvement. So, that is why I am here today".
When asked about his ability to govern the state considering his age, the septuagenarian said "What does it take to administer a state? Tell me, does it require me to run a marathon race? Governance is about experience, wisdom and what you know. You will have commissioners to assist you, but you must have the experience.
"If they want employment, you provide employment for them. Is it age you will use to do all that? Or will I have to climb trees and mountain? The constitution does not state a maximum age, only minimum".
