Is this the safest bike ever? Or just the most ridiculous looking? Certainly its inventor Crispin Sinclair (any relation to Sir Clive Sinclair of equally ridiculous looking C5 fame anyone?) thinks the former.
"It's the biggest step forward in bicycle safety since 1884 when Penny Farthings were replaced with the Rover Safety Bicycle," he told us about his new invention – the Babel Bike. Though considering it was press day at the Gadget Show he was strangely reluctant to let us take photographs or allow any video interviews!
It may look kind of ridiculous – like a pram for grown ups – but for those who want to put safety first it does boast an impressive array of safety features. The rider wears a car-style seat belt and unlike any other bicycle on the market it has a custom built safety cage in which the rider sits.
This is designed to protect (at least partially) against impacts with turning lorries and buses at busy junctions, which as we know account for around 50 per cent of all cycle fatalities. Also on board are front and rear lights, indicators, hazard flashers, brake lights, a loud car horn and rear view mirrors. This is a bike that's taking no chances whatsoever!
Available in electric and non-electric versions, the electric model has a range of up to 80 miles, with speeds up to 15.5 miles per hour. But of course you wouldn't want to cycle that fast because that would just be foolhardy!
Prices have yet to be announced but the product should be available later in the year.

Congratulations to Luis Aguilar, PhD
Felicitaciones to Luis Aguilar, who today successfully defended his PhD thesis, "Towards Real-Time Simulation of Ultrasound Systems". Many thanks to co-supervisor Richard Cobbold, and to examiners Guy Cloutier, David Goertz and Wayne Johnston for giving Luis his money's worth!
1 comment:
I wholeheartedly join in the congratulations! Besides, a lot of research based on ultrasound and require improvements every year. I'm not so good at science so I ordered some materials for scientific work here https://99papers.com/ . Nevertheless, I spent a lot of time trying to make a good and interesting presentation on this topic.ReplyDelete

A writers' organization I belong to, The Writers Room, hosts readings by its members on the downstairs stage in the Cornelia Street Cafe every third Tuesday each month. I've always been so scared to read my work, I guess just because I feel silly reading my own words aloud to an actual audience — I was even hesitant in class once, to the befuddlement of my teacher… But this year I decided just to bite the bullet, and signed up to read from my novel. My reading's not until June — I scheduled myself that late partly because that month's theme, "Our (Fore)fathers: (Dis)respecting," is the closest fit with what my excerpt is about, and partly to give myself plenty of time to freak out! So, I figured I'd go every month until then to see what the atmosphere is like, how the readers actually read (of course I've gone to umpteenth readings before, but always got so absorbed in the content I never thought to watch closely how the writer actually went about giving an entertaining read), and to support my fellow writers so they will in turn support me 🙂 Tonight's theme was on the holidays, and the readers were novelist Eric Zeisler, novelist and screenwriter David Evanier, and this very witty fun poet, Rachel Rawlings. The event was hosted by Stan Richardson, who is on the mike in the above pic. Of course each reader he introduced tonight had a list of writing accomplishments pages long — the first guy I think had won about five major awards and had attended several really prestigious writer programs and retreats, the second co-wrote a bunch of screenplays with super famous people and had about 10 books published … Oooh, what's Stan gonna say for me??? "Ladies and gentlemen, Tonya Plank, a total wannabe with absolutely nothing published!" (I've been told law review articles don't count in the publishing world). No, seriously, Stan was, fortunately, a very funny guy, who cracked a lot of jokes — after Eric read, interrupted several times by the heat cranking on, Stan proposed we give a round of applause to the plumbing system which was apparently needy for some recognition. I think (hope) he can lighten the situation, calm my nerves at least a bit, and hopefully come up with something goofy to say in my intro that will make people more sympathetic toward me than ridiculing, please please 🙂
I'll definitely be posting hysterically about this more as the time approaches, but until then, WR readings are every third Tuesday of the month, and I have them all posted under My Upcoming Events, on the right-hand section of the blog!

This will be a quick post about a problem I was having. I have two Wireless N routers, and have them connected via LAN (through a Homeplug) so that I could extend the WiFi through my property.
This was working fine for most of my devices but I have been having problems with my Windows 7 netbook (Samsung N140): When I was in range of the second router I would be connected to the WiFi with a strong signal, but the internet would be intermittent. Highly frustrating.
After a load of troubleshooting, and changing of firmwares, I finally figured out the problem….and it is a silly problem.
First, my configuration: I have a TP-Link 1043ND router, which I managed to brick. I then bought an ASUS RT-N16 to replace it. I put TomatoUSB on this router and it works like a dream…it is a fantastic router with a great spec. It was however bugging me that my TP-Link router was bricked so I pulled it apart and soldered a USB to TTL cable to the board and followed these instructions. After a few attempts I finally managed to unbrick it.
Now that I had a second Wireless N router, I put this in the opposite end of the house to my main router, and connected it via Homeplug (effectively a LAN cable). If you haven't actually got to this stage yet, the setup is pretty simple:
How to bridge two routers via LAN to extend your WiFi
- Make sure only your first router is set up as a DHCP provider, disable this on the second router
- Set DHCP to provide a range of IP's from x.x.x.100 – x.x.x.200 (i.e. 192.168.0.100 – 192.168.0.200).
- If your main router is set to IP of 192.168.0.1 then set the second router to a static IP on the same subnet…i.e. 192.168.0.2, and make sure the IP is lower than the DHCP IP range set previously (less than 192.168.0.100).
- When connecting the main router to the second router, don't use the WAN port. Plug the routers together using one of the LAN ports on each.
- Set the SSID (WiFi Name) to the same name on both routers, also make sure the security settings are the same…i.e. WPA2 PSK/AES on both, AND make sure the password is the same too.
- The last thing to do is set the channels for the WiFi to manual, and make sure they are different. Try get them on opposite ends of the spectrum. i.e. for my setup I have one router set to channel 1 and the second to channel 11.
You should effectively have seamless WiFi on your property now. Moving between the areas of the two routers should switch the signal to the strongest signal seamlessly.
This is where I got stuck. The instructions above are pretty much the instructions you see anywhere else on the web, and they work for the most part. My Android devices don't have a problem with this setup and neither do the wireless cameras I have. But my netbook kept having intermittent internet issues.
The simple fix? Make sure your channel width in your WiFi settings are the same on both routers! Wireless N allows you to choose between 20MHz or 40MHz. 40MHz theoretically provides more bandwidth (150Mbps vs 54Mbps), but 20MHz provides backwards compatibility for older devices. I don't have any problems on 40MHz, but if you do, then switch both routers to 20MHz.
Below is an example of the setup on my main router (running the brilliant Toastmans' version of TomatoUSB)
and below is a screenshot of my TP-Link 1043ND router setup (I had it runing on DD-WRT, then on Gargoyle…but reverted to the stock firmware as the WiFi performance appears better with it):
Let me know in the comments if you are having any further issues with your bridged router setup.

Snapshot: 2014 update of Internet speeds and pricing across the Caribbean
A 2014 update of fixed Internet broadband speeds and pricing across the Caribbean, and a brief comparison with our 2013 results.
As the Internet becomes increasingly important across the Caribbean, the telecoms providers across the region are continually adjusting and refining their offerings in that market. Since 2011, we have been tracking fixed Internet broadband speeds and pricing across the Caribbean. This year is no different. Again, we are updating our findings, and highlighting some of the changes that have occurred since the 2013 exercise.
Data for this review was collected from the websites of widely used Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in the countries covered. To the extent possible, two ISPs were examined in each country (Table 1), and the exercise focussed on fixed/wired (non-dialup) Internet services, and on service plans for domestic/residential customers.
The offerings from the ISPs varied drastically with respect to transmission speeds, hence the exercise was limited to identifying (per country):
- the lowest advertised download speed and the corresponding lowest monthly rate
- the highest advertised download speed and the corresponding lowest monthly rate
- the monthly rate for a plan with an advertised download speed of 2 Mbps (Megabits per second), and
- the highest download speed plan that can be purchased for no more than USD 60.00 per month.
Under International Telecommunications Union standards, between 1.5 and 2 Mbps is considered the threshold speed for classifying an Internet service as broadband. Hence 2 Mbps has been used as a baseline reference for the comparisons performed.
Finally, it is emphasised that the review focused on the monthly rates payable for the specified Internet plans only. The exercise excluded initial subscription and activation fees, as well as any additional monthly charges that might be applicable. The rates were converted to United States Dollars (USD) when required, based on current commercial exchange rates. Applicable taxes, such as Value Added Tax (VAT) or General Consumption Tax (GST), have also been included.
May 2014 results
In this our 2014 review of Internet speed and spend across the Caribbean, we have widened the pool from 16 to 19, by including Aruba, Curacao and Suriname, from the Dutch Caribbean. Table 2 shows the minimum and maximum advertised download speeds available in those countries, and the corresponding best rates offered for those packages.
In 12 of the 19 countries surveyed, the lowest download speeds offered is under 2 Mbps, but Aruba Belize, Dominica, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, and Turks and Caicos Islands, have Internet packages with download speeds as low as 128 kbps. Fifteen countries offer broadband packages with a maximum advertised download speed of at least 8 Mbps. The exceptions are Antigua and Barbuda, Guyana, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Suriname. However, ISPs in Curacao, Grenada, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago are offering customers Internet plans with advertised download speeds of up 100 Mbps, and in Barbados, a160 Mbps plan has been advertised.
With regard to the best price across the region for a broadband Internet plan with an advertised download speed of up to 2 Mbps, Figure 1 ranks the best prices offered by country. It is highlighted that Guyana has been excluded from this assessment as the ISPs included in this review have not published pricing for a 2Mbps plan – the fastest plan is 1 Mbps. The lowest advertised price was recorded in Trinidad and Tobago, at USD 21.63, and is followed by Curacao, USD 24.51, and Jamaica at USD 28.18. On the other hand, the highest prices for a 2 Mbps plan, USD 121.22, was recorded in Belize, and was followed by the British Virgin Islands (USD 84.00) and the Turks and Caicos islands (USD 83.00). The average price across the Caribbean region for a 2 Mbps Internet plan, excluding Guyana, is now USD 48.81.
To assess "bang for buck", and in each country, we sought to determine what might be fastest Internet broadband plan a customer could purchase for no more than USD 60.00 per month. The results are shown in Figure 2.
The fastest plan was found in the Bahamas, where for USD 56.99, the monthly subscription for a plan with an advertised download speed of up to 30 Mbps could be secured. The next fastest plans, 25 Mbps, were found in Jamaica and Barbados, at approximately USD 39.86 and USD 50.00, respectively.
On other hand, the slowest Internet plan, 512 kbps, was recorded in Belize, and would cost approximately USD 44.45. The next slowest plans, 1 Mbps, were recorded in Guyana, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and Antigua and Barbuda at approximately USD 49.10, USD 53.00, and USD 54.50, respectively.
Comparison with 2013 results
Within the past year, a number of important changes have occurred in Internet speed and pricing across the Caribbean. First, a few countries, specifically, the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands have increased the download speed of their slowest plan, from 1Mbps, to 2 Mbps. Second, the fastest advertised download speed has increased in three countries:
- Barbados – from 100 Mbps, to 160 Mbps
- Cayman Islands – from 8 Mbps, to 25 Mbps
- Grenada – from 12 Mbps, to 100 Mbps
Additionally, there have been some significant changes in the Internet pricing in the region. Figure 3 shows the difference in pricing between May 2013 and May 2014 for an Internet plan with an advertised download speed of 2 Mbps. The change in pricing ranged from an increase of almost +14% in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, to a decrease of almost -40% in Trinidad and Tobago.
Finally, in averaging the price for a 2 Mbps plan across all of the countries surveyed (but excluding Guyana, as per the reason provided above), the averaged price dropped by USD 5.22 since May 2013. Between May 2012 and May 2013, the decrease in the average price across the region was USD 11.34, which is more than twice what occurred within the past year.
Based on the results recorded over the past three years, 2012—2014, the rate of decline in the pricing of a 2 Mbps plan may be slowing down. However, the extent to which such a trend can be confirmed remains to be seen, as the cost of technology continues to drop and local ISPs aim to remain competitive.

I'm interested in how this data compares to others countries.
Guyana upgraded the 1MB to 2MB burstable.
Great article!
Given the fact that in most countries in the Caribbean the local loop is bundled with broadband access, these figures are somewhat misleading. For example, in Barbados the cost of the landline service is another USD$21.98. Hence, the real cost of Internet service is $30.00 + $21.98 = $51.98. I believe the same scenario is quite standard across most of the countries in the region. $0.02.
Hey Michele great article and a eye opener for Antigua. We talk about 4g but it's a far cry.
Great article. Just curious about this paragraph: "Additionally, there have been some significant changes in the Internet pricing in the region. Figure 3 shows the difference in pricing between May 2013 and May 2014 for an Internet plan with an advertised download speed of 2 Mbps. The change in pricing ranged from an increase of almost +14% in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, to a decrease of almost -40% in Trinidad and Tobago." Why was SVG used as the high end of the range when the graph seems to suggest it's The Bahamas?
Very informative. I do wish it would be possible to see a survey of ACTUAL download speeds as well.
FLOW in Barbados doubled their internet speeds. The max speed is not 300Mbps. It would be interesting to see how this affects the charts.
Thank you for pulling this data together and summarizing so well Michele. Would you consider performing similar analysis on other telecommunications areas?
Good day Michele,
In reviewing the posts, I just wanted to clarify a few points regarding Columbus/ Flow's service in the region, specifically Barbados. 'Flow' (Columbus's residential brand) was launched in Barbados in April 2013 and is the first of Columbus' residential markets to launch fibre to the home (FTTH) and IPTV video services. Barbados is the first and only market to date in the Caribbean to have access to broadband speeds of up to 300 mbps as of May 1, 2014; the fastest speeds available to residential customers in the Caribbean. As of May 1, Flow broadband customers with Turbo 10, 25, 75 and 150 packages were upgraded to receive double download and increased upload speeds at no additional cost. Our website is currently being updated to reflect the up to date information which is outlined above. To date, Flow's services are available to over 57, 000 homes across Barbados (60% coverage) and by the end of 2014, we expect 85% of the island to have access to our services. I will be more than willing to provie additional informaton and clarity where necessary. are My email is firstname.lastname@example.com. Shelly Ann Hee Chung
Definitely and thanks. I am also available in the event you would like additional information.

Written expressly for the Federal Minstrels, with 'new locals, dresses, mechanical effects, music, comic scenes, [and] dances' (Sydney Morning Herald 26 December 1885, p.2), this burlesque minstrel pantomime is a loose adaptation, in blackface, of F. C. Burnand's 1866 burlesque of Douglas Jerrold's play Black-Eyed Susan (1829). Unusually, the transformation scene and harlequinade were staged at the start of the production rather than at the end. The extended harlequinade concerned 'the advent on Australia's shores of Captain James Cook.'
The action takes place aboard the H.M.S. Polypheme, and contains a chorus of mermen, mermaids, marines, and sailors. The various sections in the pantomime are:
Scene 1. The Harlequinade;
Scene 2. Grand Transformation;
Scene 3. Second Comic Scene;
Scene 4. Trip: Harlequin and Columbine;
Scene 5. The Soudan Donkey;
Scene 6. 1,000 Leagues under the Sea;
Scene 7. The Funniest Last Scene You Have Ever Seen.
1885: Academy of Music, Sydney, 26 December 1885 - 22 January 1886
This entry has been sourced from research undertaken by Dr Clay Djubal into Australian-written popular music theatre (ca. 1850-1930). See also the Australian Variety Theatre Archive

Chris Poole, 4chan founder and admin, is stepping down.
Known as "moot" on the site (anonymously until 2008), Poole says he is "humbled to have had the privilege of both founding and presiding over what is easily one of the greatest communities to ever grace the Web."
Here's his farewell in its entirety:
I founded 4chan eleven and a half years ago at the age of 15, and after more than a decade of service, I've decided it's time for me to move on.
4chan has faced numerous challenges over the years, including how to continuously satisfy a community of millions, and ensure the site has the human, technical, and financial resources to continue operating. But the biggest hurdle it's had to overcome is myself. As 4chan's sole administrator, decision maker, and keeper of most of its institutional knowledge, I've come to represent an uncomfortably large single point of failure.
I've spent the past two years working behind the scenes to address these challenges, and to provide 4chan with the foundation it needs to survive me by bolstering its finances, strengthening its infrastructure, and expanding and empowering its team of volunteers. And for the most part, I've succeeded. The site isn't in danger of going under financially any time soon, and it's as fast and stable as ever thanks to continued development and recent server upgrades. Team 4chan is also at its largest, and while I've still been calling the shots, I've delegated many of my responsibilities to a handful of trusted volunteers, most of whom have served the site for years.
That foundation will now be put to the ultimate test, as today I'm retiring as 4chan's administrator. From a user's perspective, nothing should change. A few senior volunteers—including 4chan's lead developer, managing moderator, and server administrator—have stepped up to ensure a smooth transition over the coming weeks.
I'll need time away to decompress and reflect, but I look forward to one day returning to 4chan as its Admin Emeritus or just another Anonymous, and also writing more about my experience running 4chan on my personal blog. The journey has been marked by highs and lows, surprises and disappointments, but ultimately immense satisfaction. I'm humbled to have had the privilege of both founding and presiding over what is easily one of the greatest communities to ever grace the Web. It was truly an honor to serve as 4chan's founding administrator, and I look forward to seeing what the next decade holds for the site.
In Poole's 11.5 years as head of 4chan, the site racked up over 42 billion pageviews, 1.7 billion posts, and currently boasts 20.3 million monthly visitors. No matter what you think of 4chan's overall contribution to internet culture, one cannot deny that it has been massive.
Poole stresses that from a user standpoint, nothing should change as he exits.

Reviews are nothing if not unreliable indications of success.
We wrote about some odd reviews on the Trust Pilot site for Just Park a while back. They had hundreds of 5 Star reviews all dated in the same very tight time frame and then mostly poor reviews over a more 'natural' period.
Flavourly have consistently been poorly reviewed on TP - until just now. A group of reviews all within a 3 hour slot are all first reviews for the presenters and all very brief but 5 Star. Most of the other reviews are 1 or 2 star.
Flavourly use the internet to misdirect. They pitched on Crowdcube promoting their large subscription base as a key success indicator - failing to point out that it was mainly made up of Groupon customers - oneoffers looking for free deals. The reaction to the product and service was poor. We looked at their pitch at the time, pointing out that they had come up way short of the predictions they used when they pitched previously on Angels Den.
Be aware - the best advice is to ignore the good reviews and read the bad ones - if they are truly awful then avoid.

How To Add Colour To Your Fall Wardrobe
The leaves have been the most brilliant shades of scarlet and gold, but now many of them are lifeless and limp, lying in puddles on the street. There are dazzling moments filled with colour and sunshine and in the next instant, everything is grey. Who can keep up? Maybe it's time that we create our own sunshine.

Mary Vik, Co-President
Mary joined LWVSP in her mid-fifties. She was thinking ahead to eventual retirement and planned to investigate various volunteer opportunities. The in-depth knowledge about state and local government of many of the League members impressed her, as did the even-handed tone of various letters to newspaper editors about LWV positions and why they supported it. Political discourse at the height of the Feminist Movement was about as rancorous as it is now and I appreciate the League's calm and measured approach. I've been a member for over 30 years and it has been a great experience.
Mary Voight-Leung, Co-President
Mary has been a member since 1995 and is a past President of LWVSP. She also served on the Membership Committee and loves organizing events and speakers. Currently she is helping with voter registration in the high schools and will serve on the LWVMN diversity committee with Liz Haan. She has taught Mandarin Chinese in public, private, charter schools as well as at Concordia Language Villages for over 10 years and just returned from working and living in a Benedictine Abbey in Eichstatt, Germany for three months where she witnessed much enthusiasm for the mission of the European Union and the preservation of civil dialogue and increasing democracy. Her husband, Peter, hopes to retire next year now that their three children are grown.
Amy Mino, Treasurer
Amy Mino has been a League member since 1996 and has served in various capacities, including Nominating Committee Chair, Membership Chair. She is also the Executive Director of Minnesota Landmarks, a nonprofit responsible for the overall management of Landmark Center. Amy holds a B.A. in Art History from Macalester College and a Master's in Public Affairs from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs.
Diggitt McLaughlin, Secretary
Hayden Kilkenny, Membership
Sig Johnson (Voter Service)
Over the years Sig has served as LWVSP's President, Secretary, Voter Editor, and Candidate Forum Moderator. She has also organized Law Day events at William Mitchell College of Law, studied judicial selection and served on the LWVMN's Voter Service Committee. Sig believes that the League has always been the "gold standard" of a well-run organization.
Judy Screaton (Programs)
Judy Screaton believes that voting and elections must constantly be monitored in order to be fair. She joined the board in order to work on election issues such as the Voter ID amendment and to support our Candidate Forums. Judy is impressed by LWVSP's outstanding that LWVSP voting and elections work.
Jayne Discenza
Jayne Discenza is a Merriam Park resident and graduate of Macalester College. After having studied Political Science, she began a career of public service working for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Outside of work, she takes advantage of the innumerable arts offerings in the Twin Cities. Jayne seeks to play a more active role in LWV because of the vital importance of voter engagement and to improve her fluency in city and local politics. Other volunteer experiences include fundraising for the Combined Federal Campaign and political activism on the part of Planned Parenthood.
Vicki Barnes
Vicki Barnes moved to the St. Paul area in June of 2015. Previous to that she lived in Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and had two stints in Northern Italy. Her past volunteer experience includes Mayor of a military community and member of a group trying to pass legislation against corporal punishment in Pennsylvania schools (it took 10 years, but we did it). With the move to Minnesota and the political climate of the country, learning about how we got this way and how to improve it for her grandchildren has become a priority for Vicki. She has enjoyed getting to know the members of the League and looks forward to learning from them, as well as serving with them in the coming years.

text: MirceaKitsune Report post Posted July 1, 2017 A major problem I've had for years has been getting rid of bad dreams, which I now experience on a nightly basis. Each night I either have dreams I cannot remember, or strange dreams that even make me feel dull during the rest of the day. I've been hoping that in addition to mental furry TF, hypnosis could be used to change what I dream of. They aren't literal nightmares or anything scary that prompts me to wake up, which thankfully I get extremely rarely nowadays. It's just depressing or annoying subjects, taking place in weird and distorted environments. More exactly I experience remixed versions of past life events; The action always takes place in a slightly different version of a location I frequent(ed), involving people from my everyday life (many of which I'd rather not think of), and are centered around subjects which again have happened in my past. By now I'm beyond sick of it, and no longer want my mind poisoned with this junk. What do I want in their place? As is probably no surprise given the topic of this forum, I seek dreams in which I can spend time with and around other anthros, in what is ideally a better and less mundane / dark / depressing world compared to this one. Whether I can perceive myself as a real furry or not, I wish to at least see and interact with others who are such! I'm not even picky about where the action takes place or what activities happen... though as it might be hard to a keep secret with the subject being a close thing for me, vorish dreams are something I've wanted to have the most (a.k.a. getting eaten by beautiful vixen ladies), which of course is beyond the scope of this thread and something I'll try to only bring up in limited form if ever relevant. Needless to say, I can barely and most vaguely remember ever getting close to dreaming of furries or anything not this world, for the most part it's never happened in my life. An important thing to clarify about my dreams, which is also what makes this all the more strange: The things I dream of at night are NOT matters I actively think of during the day nor before going to bed! Quite oppositely they're things I have mostly forgotten, and which only seem to surface out of nowhere in said dreams. In fact I look at and think of those things I do want to dream of before heading off for the day, and my mind indeed pictures them right up until I fall asleep... the moment I am asleep however, it's like my brain switches to a completely different set of memories hidden from my brain during its awake activity, which it then forces upon me in those dreams. Does anyone have any advice that might help with this? Do you think hypnosis can be used to modify what we dream of? If yes then how do I do it please?

U.S. Sen. David Vitter today made the following statement after President Obama's energy speech today at Prince George's Community College in Largo, Md.
"There was plenty of misleading information in President Obama's speech today, but I'm especially concerned with the inaccuracies regarding domestic energy production on our federal resources and this claim that we only have two percent of the world's oil reserves," Vitter said. "First of all, energy production on federal lands is incredibly limited, and his not distinguishing between a "resource" and a "reserve" is what is most frustrating -- in fact we can't even touch more than 90 percent of federal lands -- all those resources off limits. So there is no way to account for how many billions of barrels we could produce if we had access to places that engineers are confident would be oil rich areas."

I eyeballed The Troll Hunter for a few days debating on watching it in the first place because I already knew it was all documentary style, which honestly I'm so over. But, like one my friends said how can anything with troll in the title be bad? The Troll Hunter comes to our shores from Norway.
So let me ask this is supposed to a comedy? If not then I'm questioning my whole perception on life. When our villain "the troll" makes his appearance I chuckled. I was more afraid of the fry up the hunter was eating. Seriously, you can down eggs and sausage like that be limber enough to chase anything?
Even though the premise of this film is so batshit, you have to tip your head to the writer, director, as well as the cast for their commitment. The actors are able to pull you in well enough. Not enough to make you care what happens to them, but well enough to keep you mildly engaged.
The basic plot is when a group of students investigate a series of mysterious bear killings, but learns that there are much more dangerous things going on. They start to follow a mysterious hunter, learning that he is actually a troll hunter.
My mantra as of late has been the criticism of pacing. The Troll Hunter suffered from the same issue. Toooo long, we don't care anymore after an hour; get to the climax already. Especially, when the its going to be as uneventful as this one. Just saying.
Another problem I had was just the whole documentary style that it was shot in. At this point it's been done repeatedly. Although I appreciate the idea of the government secretly hiding the world of trolls and having a whole department just for their extermination, but at the same time the film is just not strong enough to shake off the fact it's not real. This little flaw made it a bit well cheesy. Overall, I give The Troll Hunter a meh! Wait for the DVD release.
The Troll Hunter opens June 10th.

Think about what career is best suited for you, and where you want to study. Request more information now.
Get info about Galveston College housing services, and registering for discussion sections and departmental seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. In-person class registration has largely been replaced with online sign-up, and many schools offer mobile apps that streamline the course registration process. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Galveston College student housing information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Galveston College.
Living in a dormitory is a great option for new students, as it provides the comfort of being surrounded by other people while far away from home. However, the dorms can get noisy which makes studying difficult, and there's always someone who wants to talk to you late into the night. As you mature, you may feel that the independence of your own apartment is worth the additional expense.
Sharing an apartment with roommates is a common cost-saving option, and a quick visit to the off-campus housing office will let you know how much two-bedroom apartments near campus cost. Before you sign a rental contract, note the main elements of the length of the contract, when your security deposit may be returned, and on what conditions, and if you can sub-lease your apartment if you have to leave early. If you can't get your landlord to make repairs, can always contact free legal aid through the school's student services office. Beyond consideration for Galveston College housing services, you may think about College of Central Florida placement tests for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

I was kind of rolling my eyes until I got to #9. That question will haunt me until my dying day.
"So I have a post idea for you," a friend at the gym recently said to me. (Incidentally this friend is the only person I have ever seen do the Wicked Wiper in person and he can do like 15 of them. It's crazy. The first time we saw him do it we all burst into spontaneous applause on the weight floor which was even more awkward considering we hadn't introduced ourselves yet and so pretty much looked like total creepers.) Anyhow, I love love love it when people start with this sentence. Mostly because it can be finished in so many awesome ways. "…what's the deal with coconut water?" (Good q! Still need to write this one!) "…who invented push-ups?" (Don't know but if I ever meet them I'm going to sit on their back for added resistance.) and "…why don't you write Jillian Michaels fan fiction?" (Didn't know that was an actual thing but I find it weird to write fiction about real living people.)
But this time my friend finished it with "I'm so sick of my earphones falling out every three seconds when I'm working out! I've tried every type out there and I've never found a pair that will stay put. And I cannot workout without my tunes!" As a sweaty Betty myself, he had my instant sympathy. I didn't even realize that I sweated out my ears until one long run outside where my ear buds fell out so many times I looked like I had an ear-cleaning tic shoving them back every few steps forcing me to finally remove my headband and put it over the top of my ears to hold them in. (This was not nearly as awkward as when I realized why wearing gray cotton yoga pants to TurboKick is a huge mistake. It was like a Rorschach ink blot test… on my lady bits.) Anyhow, while I do like cleaning out my ears – heaven help me if I find a rogue Q-tip somewhere, it's total eargasm time – I really don't want to do it while I'm running.
The fitness industry has come up with myriad ways to solve this problem. First were the original headphones – you know, the kind that attached to your Sony Walkman strapped to your fanny pack? But the cheap plastic and foam never stayed put and covering your whole ear made the sweat even worse. Next were the "sport headphones" that had the plastic ear piece that wraps around the outside of your ear but, as my friend pointed out, they don't work with his glasses. And I must have weirdly shaped ears because they never stayed put on mine either. Then came the tiny little ear buds that you stick in your ear – the better to permanently maim your hearing with! – and all the ways they can fall out, get tangled up and lose the leeeetle foam covering deep in your ear canal. I finally broke down and bought some hot pink Skullcandy ones with the interchangeable rubber tips. They were cuter but they still fell out of my ears when I got good and sweaty.
My Fave Piece of Fitness Equipment
I didn't have a good answer for him at the time but I wanted one because, like the Gym Buddies will attest, I cannot run Tabata sprints without music. If I can hear myself sucking wind I slow down so my mp3 player is my must-have accessory. The universe heard my cries however and rained down earphones like manna. Actually: DB Logic mailed me a pair of their SPL2 earphones to try out for free. I adore them. ADORE. (And no they are not paying me for this post.) For two reasons:
1. The unique design has you place the earbuds "upside down" in your ears so that the thin cords run up over your ears. There is a little slider where they meet behind your head so you can tighten it up keeping the earphones tightly in place – seriously no slippage through a 3 mile run AND Tabatas – and keeping the wires out of your way.
2. The SLP2 technology automatically limits the sound pressure to 85 decibels in your ears thereby preserving your hearing and preventing you from being that girl 5 treadmills down who you know freaking loves Eminem because you can hear every syllable from her earphones 20 feet away. Not saying I don't appreciate that girl when I've forgotten my own music – except for the day she played non-stop Katy Perry – but I just don't want to be that girl. Picking the music for the entire gym to listen to is a big responsibility is all I'm saying.
Plus, at $34.95 they're not much more expensive than my Skullcandy ones and they also come in lots of fun colors and with interchangeable rubber tips to get the right fit.
Fit Pros' Fave Piece of Fitness Equipment
While I may be manic about my music during a workout, everyone seems to have their one favorite fitness tool they can't live without and who better to ask than people who make their living in the biz? Check out my slideshow on Shape.com to see what personal trainers and fitness instructors picked as their must-have tool. You need to read it just to see what Kirez Reynolds – CrossFit trainer extraordinaire – picked. When he first posted it on Facebook I thought he was just being a smart aleck but it turns out he was serious and has the photographic evidence to prove it. Seriously, he's amazing.
What is YOUR Fave Piece of Exercise Equipment?
Do you have to turn around and go home if you forget the chest strap to your heart rate monitor? Do you love your interval timer so much that you refuse to wear it in your cleavage Zuzana-style so that your sweat won't ruin it? Do you pack your TRX in your travel bag first even though the TSA will flag it just to ask you if you're into bondage? Also, what's your solution to the earphones-falling-out issue??

The equation of a line L is y= -3x - 1/4. Find the coordinates of the point of intersection of L with the x-axis.
- print Print
- list Cite
We have to find the point of intersection of the line L which has an equation y= -3x - 1/4 with the x-axis.
On the x-axis the y coordinate is 0
Solving 0 = -3x - 1/4
=> 3x = -1/4
=> x = -1/12
The required point at which the line intersects the x-axis is (-1/12, 0)
The co-ordinate of y is always 0 at the point of intersection with any line with x-axis.
The x-axis and y-axis are perpendicular to each other and meet at point (0,0) which makes the equation of line for x-axis as y=0 and equation of line for y-axis as x=0.
we wish to find the point of intersection of 2 lines:-
1) Line L : y=-3x-1/4 &
2) X axis : y=0
To find the point of intersection, let us put the value of equation 2 in equation 1,
We get
- 0=-3x-1/4
- 3x=-1/4
Now we have the value of both x and y at the point of intersection
Ans: -
The co-ordinates of point of intersection of line L with x-axis is (-1/12,0)
Feel free to ask if you any doubt in explanation.

On the other hand, I see this STP trading platform is very sensitive on trading spread facility, they provide very narrowest trading spread service for all trading instruments!
