There's an exciting new service that my hairdresser friend Oliver de Almeida has set up not long ago and as it's such a brilliant and obvious idea I thought I'd give it a shout out.
Going to the hairdresser's has always been a bit of a pain to me. First you need to book an appointment and then get there, then if you're lucky you don't wait around too much and then you're faced with staring at yourself not looking your best, putting it mildly. If you don't have a life then this might be a fun day out, but for most people it's a chore.
That's where's Blow To Go different, instead they come to you. Plus they are really good. I've known Ollie for years, we worked together many times and not only he's an amazing hairdresser, but he's super cute and charming, and he's a nicest guy you'll ever meet. Plus he has a lovely Brazilian accent which is a bonus :) The rest of his team are just as lovely!
You do everything online, the booking, picking the stylist, the time and the payment. Then you can get on with whatever you were doing.... Cool, yeah?

Alan Rickman's (Professor Snape) Heartfelt Goodbye To Harry PotterDespite the assumptions individuals often make about kid actors, especially ones who will struggle to break absent from their mold the way Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe will have to, he's always been a fairly interesting, vibrant, awesome child. While the Haley Joel Osments of the globe battle to take that their pudgy lovable looks don't translate so nicely as adults, Radcliffe has developed up into a assured, mature adult. As he informed The Telegraph, he's a verified atheist with amazing musical taste who lost his virginity at sixteen. So he's essentially every student at a liberal arts school. How did he handle to develop up so blithely assured? Most likely understanding he's managed to earn about 20 million quid before he was eighteen helped.
"Registered participants in Harry Potter: The Quest are eligible to receive month-to-month prizes such as Noble Collection Harry Potter Merchandise, tickets to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Common Orlando Vacation resort, Blu-rays, DVDs, Games and much more. In addition, there will be two Grand Prize sweepstake opportunities for registrants of Harry Potter: The Quest. The first sweepstake chance is a chance to get tickets for two to go to the world premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Component 2 in London this July. The second sweepstake chance will be announced later on in the year," stated Warner Bros. in the game's push release.
But for most people it's the sights of hogswart castle and Hogsmeade village that is the large attract, as you can faux your right there with Harry Potter. Common Studios did a great occupation and it will be popular for a lengthy time.
Everyone needed a butterbeer of program! So it had a lengthy line; they truly require to add a few more butterbeer carts. It's non alcoholic and arrives frozen or normal. The taste is a combine of cream soda and butterscotch with a thick head of foam.
Learn to manage your time. It is all too simple to get carried away when you are working on your personal at house. You both procrastinate, thinking that you will have time to do the work later; prior to you know it, you have currently squandered too much time. You can also get as well much into your work and discover your self on the occupation for more than 12 hours a day. Correct balancing and time management will make your work at house stint much more successful and less demanding.

Photo-manipulation & Digital painting
Here is a just finished piece, a combination of various photo-manipulation effects and digital painting on top of a photograph I took of my mother. There are actually individual brush strokes over the entirety of the piece, however, I label it a photo-manipulation because I did not actually draw the shapes but simply traced over my photograph. Regardless, I feel the piece is successful enough to post it.

Build Your Spiritual Muscle!
The Pyramid Garden
I have always taught that meditating twice a day is the true sign of being committed to your spiritual path. Meditation builds spiritual muscle. This is how you become more psychic, intuitive, deepen your level of integrity and advance in the spiritual realms. Personally, I have been meditating daily for over 40 years. I started with Transcendental Meditation in 1976, and then added Guided Visual Meditation to my repertoire in 1985.
This meditation is 25 minutes long and is great to use on an ongoing basis for speeding up and refining your spiritual growth and to improve your visualization skills. It heals and strengthens the chakra system as well. I started doing this one over 30 years ago, and still use it. I highly recommend the technique. Using this meditation you can contact and converse with your Spirit Guides at the "green level" if you set this intention.
Crystal Meditation
I "created" this particular meditation because I wanted a way to work more intimately with the devas of the mineral kingdom. My Spiritual Guides helped me craft this particular meditation. Its purpose is for merging with the consciousness of a crystal or other stone via direct communication with the deva of the stone. Want to set up a healing relationship with the stone, or ask its assistance in your healing work on self or others? Perhaps you just have questions of the stone? Some people do divination like this. This is a guided visual meditation. 15+ minutes long. Once you have memorized the sequence of a meditation and can do that meditation without the recording, from "very interesting" to mind-blowing things can begin to happen during the meditation. ENJOY!!.

Adobe expects to transition the bulk of perpetual licenses to its subscription model over the next couple of years.
The company's ANZ channel chief, Steve Martin, talks to Heather Wright about the new Creative Cloud for Teams offering.
When Adobe unveiled its Creative Cloud for Teams subscription offering in late January, the company included an added sweetener for the reseller channel with a 20% deal registration offer over and above the standard margins available.
But Steve Martin, Adobe's head of channel for Australia and New Zealand, says the Creative Cloud offering is an easy sell to resellers, even without the deal registration offer.
Creative Cloud for Teams is the small and medium sized business version of the Creative Cloud offering launched mid-2012.
Both offer access to the full range of Creative Suite 6 products, as well as Adobe Muse, Acrobat XI, Lightroom 4, Edge tools and services.
The Teams offering bolsters the 20GB of cloud storage available for the individual service to 100GB per user.
In addition it offers administrative tools for centralised license purchase and management.
"There's been a lot of partner excitement already. This changes the business model in the way the partners interact with customers," Martin says.
Sticky business
"Adobe's Creative Cloud offering for teams represents a fundamental change for resellers with a new VIP (value incentive plan) option now available.
"The new Adobe VIP will allow resellers to develop a stronger relationship with their customers by offering Creative Cloud for Teams with no minimum license requirement, easy management, immediate deployment and automatic compliance."
Martin says the model also creates a much tighter relationship between the customer and reseller by tightly linking customers to a partner.
Under the new model, open to Platinum, Gold and certified partners, partners are responsible for inviting customers to participate in Creative Cloud, using the VIP portal.
Once the customer has accepted the invitation, the reseller becomes the partner of record for that customer and any time the customer orders additional licenses, it defaults to the original partner.
"It's quite cumbersome for the customer to go and change partners down the track," Martin adds.
Customers, for their part, can add new licenses and gain immediate access to the software, with the reseller receiving a notification of the new license/s.
The partner then invoices the customer. If payment isn't received within 30 days, the software is automatically deactivated.
"And that's another benefit for partners," Martin says. "This helps partners to automate compliance."
However, the model could have a sting in its tail for retailers who don't act quickly. Notes Martin: "If you don't invite your customer, sooner or later another reseller will.
"I strongly recommend resellers understand Creative Cloud, take the time to be enabled in it and start inviting customers."
On the move
Martin says the individual offering of Creative Cloud has been 'a tremendous success' with more than one million subscribers joining in the six to seven months since it launched. No New Zealand figures were available.
"All of the software available in Creative Cloud is worth about AU$5000. But with Creative Cloud you can get that for AU$87/month (with an annual commitment).
"That's an incredible saving and we believe that significant reduction in entry price will bring large numbers of new customers into the Creative world."
Martin says 40% of customers signing up to Creative Cloud for individuals were new customers.
The company expects 'pretty much all' of its current perpetual license holders to move to Creative Cloud over the next couple of years, with Martin saying the offering has 'a very, very strong value proposition' for that market.
"It's very powerful for customers on perpetual licenses, but it also opens up new markets and a wealth of new opportunities, removing that barrier to entry by reducing the costs," Martin says.
Meanwhile, Martin says the deal registration programme will see resellers receiving 20% rebate for every opportunity of five seats registered.

Sometimes, there are as many ways to explain numbers as there are people to explain them. When it comes to the lumber market, some rely on the futures market, others use housing start figures and still others use gross domestic product and employment numbers.
We at Forest2Market are in the business of capturing actual industry statistical data. For the past seven years, for instance, Forest2Market has collected pine (SYP) log purchases by sawmills in the South directly from scale tickets. This data gives us a unique perspective on the market.
Using both publicly available information on sawmill capacity and Forest2Market data on SYP log purchases, our calculations show that the average operating rate for sawmills in 2012 was 80.1 percent, with a total production volume of 14.6 billion board feet. Given the 80.1 percent operating rate, the total potential capacity in the market was 18.2 billion board feet in 2012. In effect, an additional 3.6 billion board feet could have been produced.

Nona D. Andaya-Castillo, a Filipina Breastfeeding Advocate/International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and a practising vegetarian these past 17 years, turned me on to the "Diet for A New America." As I strive to live a more healthy lifestyle, I also take the time to gather research and knowledge from people who can help me with my Diabetes Type 2 condition.
PETA TV has a thought-provoking, compelling video that features John Robbins, son of the founder of the Baskin-Robbins ice-cream empire, who shows us why animal-based diets are killing Americans. You can also check out the YouTube videos (Part 1 to Part 8) of the same PETA TV documentary here.
Here is Part 1 of this YouTube video.
As a kid, John Robbins had been paralyzed from "the waist down" due to polio. Thus, his continuing interest in healing his body using a plant-based diet is John's prime directive.
What I learned from John is that: the food choices that are healthiest for our bodies, kindest to animals, environmentally-friendly, and ecologically-virtuous are vegetarian and vegan. John's "statement of consciousness, compassion, and care" resonate with my determination to be wiser about my lifestyle choices.
I am still in a state of shock. It will take a while before all of the knowledge and opinions I just imbibed will truly sink into my psyche. In the meantime, please take the time to check out the videos below.
Special Interview with Mr. John Robbins, Part I

Nona Andaya-Castillo is very busy bringing people and organizations together to organize the Second Synchronized Breastfeeding Worldwide Event, scheduled on October 11, 2008, as well as its launching during the World Breastfeeding Week on August 1 to 7, 2008.

Now that Thanksgiving is over and Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa are upon us, evenings are likely to be filled with gift wrapping, project making, holiday concerts and school pageants. It's the most wonderful time of the year. It's also the busiest and the most bank-account-emptying.
What to do for dinner on these hectic nights? Pizza is easy. Let me suggest a pizza option you may not have heard of. Gardenia Market in La Crescenta has the best $5.99 large, one-topping pie around.
You do have to pick up the pizza, but Gardenia Market is freeway close (at the 210 Freeway's Pennsylvania offramp) and it's a fun place to visit. Besides the requisite convenience store beverages and snacks, this little mini-mall spot has an eclectic collection of international foods and hard-to-find spirits, like soju and cachaca. But the best thing about Gardenia Market is its owner, Raymond Cherfane, and his girlfriend, Adrina. Always in a good mood, they'll happily assist or maybe tease you, brightening your frazzled holiday nerves.

Urban nonsense - final post
Indian master planners: They are either clones of the international planners or socialistic, romantic, incremental designers - without any big vision. Asking them to design a city and they would talk about cobblestoned alleys a-la-Paris or street furniture or small incremental quaint designs rather than serious, large scale, visionary solutions to the HUGE problems of the city. Completely alienated from the people.
People centric planning: This is by far the most critical component that is missing and the real reason why the entire planning is either motorist centric or built structure centric, but not centred on the people who are going to use it. When a colleague went to the second floor house of a heritage structure, the old lady suffering from arthritis living there started crying and saying to hell with heritage and all that...i need a lift to go up and down and see the world. The planning should think of her and not just the maintenance of heritage structures. A win-win solution should be created that would mantain the history of the context as well as take care of the people residing and working.
Institutional mechanism of stakeholder engagement:The 73rd amendment passed in 1991 by Rajiv Gandhi for rural grassroot governance led to the Panchayati Raj Bill, which has improved the quality of governance in villages and given a voice to every rural resident. The 74th amendment passed at the same time for bringing governance in urban areas closer to the citizens is still in a limbo. It is imperative to create a strong "Nagar Raj Bill" which would decentralise the urban governance system (http://www.unh.edu/democracy/conference2009/pdf/PRIA-CommunityParticipationLaw.pdf) and allow the people of the country a say in the urban planning of the city. Remember when Bill Clinton was the President of USA and thus the most powerful man in the world, he had to go to his borough to get permission for getting his house facade repaired. And as I mentioned in my earlier post, I have no doubt that the local shopkeeper, paanwala and resident know faaar more about how the road should be, where the parking should be and how the park, school, health center and others should be located than the babus sitting in mantralaya and deciding their fate. Complete lack of democracy and democratic institution is the main reason for failed master planning.
Sthapatya Veda and the Indian knowledge system: Indian knowledge system has been eclipsed by the hundreds of ravaging attacks on the nation. Yoga, Ayurveda, Conflict resolving and inclusive world view, Spirituality are some parts of the Indian knowledge system which is now finding support and recognition all over the globe. The knowledge that India had on metallurgy, construction technology, construction material was outstanding and in some cases, better than even the latest ones. We had a Veda (book of knowledge) on Master Planning called Sthapatya Veda which gridlines, drainage instructions, city planning processes which led to excellent planning in Mohenjodaro and Harappan cities. The use of the five elements of ether (space), air or wind, fire, water and earth were so blended that it minimized the negative impact of heat and cold. Master planners need to revisit some of these successful concepts.
So, what we need for a sensible and workable urban landscape is master planning based on utilization of the best global practices married with local contextual ethos while taking stakeholder engagement from the survey to the planning to the implementation and post-implementation stage.
The final question is - whose plan is it? Mumbai with its vibrant citizens or a few disconnected centralized planners?

Its probably not fair to blame planners for the mess Mumbai is in. Mumbai is not suffering due to bad planning but due to sheer absence of planning! We have never given planning a thought and our BMC has no planners on board! MMRDA is just a broker between government and infra companies and do not have an agreed vision as a guidebook.ReplyDelete
We first need to take a conscious decision to holistically plan mumbai and then decide if our planners are good or bad. But yes, there is a dearth of planners and planning knowledge...Indian or western education is secondary..we need education in this field to start off with.

mayank , where will you utilise this powerful thoughts upon.Rajiv MishraReplyDelete
A start would be to segregrate the planning functions from the municipal functions in the BMC- BMC should be responsible ONLY for Municipal Services and a separate agency (MMRDA?) for city planning and implementation.ReplyDelete
This would also remove the influence peddling of the builders from the political arena as a tamperproof City Plan would emerge. Local inputs would be advisory in nature, but administrative political interference minimised. Monthly performance audits involving local residents of the implementation of the city plan would keep things on track.
Planning frameworks should be robust enough to operate at all scales. Details (like the cobble-stoned alleys) give the place a unique identity and are important together with the other problems that affect the city. Planning ought not to be an either or proposition but ideally should offer both: serious large-scale vision and detailed implementation. For cities to be successful, we must create great places with local identity that people love.ReplyDelete
Even with good planners and great vision, we still need good tools to carry out the vision. The 1967 Development Controls need to be reexamined and replaced with a transparent and streamlined regulatory framework that produces predictable results and great places.
I am overwhelmed by the depth of Mayanks' info base and expertise. But is it possible to clearly define and design a 'live city' as tho it were a mechano set? Would it not be added to in pieces as in a ill-fitting jigsaw puzzle? Would not the consistent irrational behavior of humans, change the well laid out plans for a 'planned city'? How does one reconcile the planning for a growing city with its ever changing needs and uncertain issues? In short .., I am not expressing myself well ... isn't a planned city more of a dream than a reality? Given that anything would be better than the current scenario of Mumbai, have not all the great global cities gone thru such a mess as Mumbai and gradually changed for the better with greater economic development? Can we as Indians get out of our inferiority complex and accept that some historic-local solutions are still better than what the World can offer?ReplyDelete
All in all ... a great attempt. Keep it up ... Mayank! Be well!
Thanks for your comments. Expecting holistic and integrated planning from a structure which is centralized, sporadic, haphazard and whimsical is funny. Get the institutionalized structure in place and everything will follow. After all, dmocracy with all its warts is still the best governance mechanism - get democracy in urban planning.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 28, 2010 at 10:25 PM
I agree with Mayank that most planners in Mumbai think of architectural details rather then people centric approach. But I also disagree that we have scarcity of planners and knowledge here, I feel Mumbai based planner can give more justice to city which only you would know if you are born here and lived for long.ReplyDelete
I would thus urge that rather then getting foreign planners, who will justify the definition of being foreigner, give chance to locals. BMC and MMRDA are just govt. bodies without any planning forte. We need to think what kind of city we would want our children and future generations to live in and have a futurestic 3-dimensional approach towards city planning and evolving.

Dress Design for Shabby Apple Dresses
Last year, Shabby Apple did a dress design contest, which I briefly considered entering, then didn't. They always come out with the cutest retro-but-updated-modern dresses, check them out at shabbyapple. This year I decided to overcome my fears, so say hello to my dress design for the Shabby Apple Dresses contest. Hello!
But onto the dress:
All dresses should have pockets, in my opinion, so that's where I started. The skirt front is inspired by 70's high waisted sailor pants, so we have the four button sailor front motif, with deep hip pockets and contrasting buttons and piping. This seagoing motif is mirrored in the sassy sailor-esque bib front on the square neckline with matching piping and buttons.
The sleeve could be short or 3/4 sleeve, with either a banded elbow or a flipped cuff with button detail. Possibly puffed? Waist is outlined in more piping for definition.
I see this done in a blue chambray or a light weight denim, with red or white buttons & piping for a literal sailor translation. My favorite and, I think most fun, would be a bright yellow stripe or a seersucker, with navy piping. Or pink stripes with red piping. Or light blue gingham with white piping. I see this as a preppy pretty staple for spring.
And...fingers crossed! Wish me luck.

12 year old Brooke Bates is 5'5" and weighed 220 lbs and wore a size 22 by the time she was in 6th grade. This gives her a BMI of 36 which classifies her as Obese. Having tried all kinds of diet plans which failed, Brooke got the liposuction idea after watching a TV documentary on plastic surgery. Her parents wouldn't allow her to get gastric bypass surgery because a family friend died from it, so instead they gave in, and let their daughter get the liposuction.
The plastic surgeon, Dr. Robert Ersek, was a family friend as well, and initially said no. But then, Brooke's father was diagnosed with cancer thought to be terminal. The plastic surgeon changed his mind after Brooke said to him: "I want my dad to see me looking slim and pretty in a dress before he dies."
35 lbs of fat was removed from Brooke's young body. Sometime later, a tummy tuck was performed to remove the excess skin from Brooke's weight loss. Brooke is thought to be America's youngest liposuction patient.
This picture is of Brooke after her liposuction. Is this what we are resulting to now for the sake of beauty? 12 year olds are allowed to get the fat sucked out in lieu of going to doctors, trainers, nutritionists, or therapists.
I don't know where to begin on the heinousness of this story. Frankly, this kind of stuff pisses me off. What the hell are these people thinking? Brooke is just a child and despite her need for desperate measures, she's just pushing the buttons seeing where she can go. The adults in this story are showing absolute irresponsibility and prudence.
The parents spent $25,000 for the plastic surgery procedures for Brooke. So what happens when Brooke gains weight again? Are they going to let her get liposuction again? Whose the one in charge, the parents or the kid? My Dr. Phil side is coming out. I understand the need for the parents to help their unhappy and obese child, but liposuction is drastic and potentially deadly.
There is absolutely no reason for a 12 year old to get liposuction to lose weight, and there is no reason for parents to allow such a dangerous procedure on a young girl who is still growing and developing. Brooke is in 6th grade for crying out loud. Aren't there some kind of laws or standards on cosmetic surgery on growing children. If not, there should be. Liposuction on a 12 year old to lose weight is truly horrifying.

National health systems performance HSP assessments and benchmarking are critical to understanding how well the delivery of healthcare meets the needs of citizens. Benchmarking HSP has often been done between countries to inform the global public health space. However, its impact is likely to be far greater when implemented sub-nationally to inform actual decisions on resource allocations and performance improvements, especially in high disease burden, low-income countries, where the resource envelope available for health is inadequate. In their study, Roberts and colleagues assemble, analyse and map a minimum set of health intervention and outcome indicators from 1990–2011 to assess and benchmark HSP across the 11 regions of Uganda. This is the first empirical sub-national HSP benchmarking study in the country and the results have potentially important health system policy implications.

Published: 09-08-2017
On the heels of the announcement that the Falcon Heavy rocket will make its debut launch in November, SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to social media to share a first draft animation of how the much-anticipated rocket might look.
The animation depicts both the side boosters of the rocket landing back on Earth after sending off the core. After the first and second stages separate, the first stage rocket aligns itself for reentry. The side boosters are the same ones used in the company's Falcon 9.
Falcon Heavy is the spacecraft Musk designed to carry humans to the moon and Mars, so if the first few test launches are successful, there will be a lot of excitement around the possibilities for manned missions using the Falcon Heavy in coming years. But Musk is aware that this is an incredibly difficult feat he's trying to pull off, fraught with significant risks.

Abstract Physical Phenomena's located around us are primarily nonlinear in nature and their solutions are of highest significance for scientists and engineers. In order to have a better representation of these physical models, fractional calculus is used. Fractional order oscillation equations are included among these nonlinear phenomena's. To tackle with the nonlinearity arising, in these phenomena's we recommend a new method. In the proposed method, Picard's iteration is used to convert the nonlinear fractional order oscillation equation into a fractional order recurrence relation and then Legendre wavelets method is applied on the converted problem. In order to check the efficiency and accuracy of the suggested modification, we have considered three problems namely: fractional order force-free Duffing–van der Pol oscillator, forced Duffing–van der Pol oscillator and higher order fractional Duffing equations. The obtained results are compared with the results obtained via other techniques. View Full-Text

Email marketing has risen to prominence these days, and courses are being offered for individuals who are interested in pursuing a career in this field. If you want to maximize this highly targeted, low-cost marketing method, you need to take some courses in email marketing.
How to do this:
Maximize all your available resources
Signing up for an email marketing training course is a great idea, but before you do so, ensure that you have used up all the available educational resources, which include:
• Case studies
• Free webinars
• Expert articles
• White papers
• Newsletters (have content that is more advanced than on websites)
• Metric analyses
The Internet abounds with lots of useful and free information on free email marketing. However, it is difficult to go through all the content because the search engine result pages are overcrowded. In order to get the full understanding of email marketing basics, you need to devote a considerable amount of time to read and browse these free training methods. It is essential that you have an understanding of the basic goals and strategies involved in email marketing before you attempt a course. This will help you to understand the concepts of email marketing training.
Email Marketing Training Course for trained professionals in email marketing
Identifying the good and the bad courses
The internet offers a variety of email marketing training courses which can cost up to £600 for the entire course which usually lasts several months. Training is of utmost importance if you are to create an effective email marketing campaign. How can you ensure that you are signed up for the right course and that you will not spend your money unwisely?
1. Ensure that the course website meets web quality standards
To find out, you can ask the following questions: Does the website have a professional look? Are you provided with contact information and a local address? Has the training provider been in business for a short or long period of time?
2. Examine the course program
Avoid paying for email marketing training courses which will not provide a programme. You will not find the programmes for some training providers on their website; however, they still need to provide you with it upon request via email.
The course can be divided into 10-minute summaries or weekly in-depth training sessions depending on how intensive the program is. The level of intensity should never jeopardize the progressiveness of email marketing training since its knowledge built on knowledge to provide an all-inclusive email marketing understanding.
Let's look at what an in-depth training course covers:
• Introduction to email marketing
• Acquiring and segmenting
• Retaining
• Campaign: technology, methods, strategies, CRM
• Content development: building up trust, offering value, going viral
• Analytics and optimization
• Testing for email marketing
• Designing email
• Writing for email
• Laws and ethics for email marketing
• Integration of email marketing with other campaigns
• Email marketing future
3. Faculty and staff
Effective email marketing training must be delivered by an expert. Before signing up, be sure to find out who makes up the staff, their qualifications, the type of interaction you'll have with the course leader, and where you should go when you have questions.I love the content from https://www.udemy.com/email-marketing-how-to-build-an-email-list-of-customers/.
If you need a comprehensive learning experience, find email marketing training courses that are offered in a virtual or physical classroom setting.

Guardians of the Stars
Biao Aerospace Fighter
- Era: Initial Early Space Era
- Manufacturer: Shenyang Aircraft Corporation
- Government(s)/Organization(s): China, India, many smaller Asian countries, many smaller African countries
- Type: Fighter Aircraft
- Size: Large
- Crew: 1
- Speed: B (Low Altitude) / C (High Altitude)
- Acceleration
- Cruise: 1G/.75G
- Max: 1.5G/1G
- Low Atmosphere
- Cruise: Mach 1
- Max: Mach 2
- High Atmosphere
- Cruise: Mach 2
- Max: Mach 2.5
- Ceiling: 16,000m
- Acceleration
- Agility: A (Low Altitude) / C (High Altitude)
- Armor: D-
- Endurance: C
- Weapons: 14 Standard Missiles (1-4 shot, then 1-2 shot)
- Defenses: Radar Stealth, Chaff/Flare Launcher
- Sensors: C
The Biao, or Dart in English, is a sixth generation Chinese fighter and at the edge of being completely obsolete. It is however still quite common around the world though during the Early Space Era. They still fare favorably to to advanced western aerospace fighters like the Sunglider Aerospace Fighter as long as they are in low altitude. At higher altitudes they cannot maintain their speed and maneuverability edge.
Physically they are fast, agile, and have good endurance at lower altitudes. It makes use of dual scram-jet engines in later variants, but even so the engines are much faster and more powerful at lower altitudes and cannot reach orbit on their own. For weapons it has two primary missile bays armed with six-pack launchers and two single shot missile bays, all of which are behind covers.

Lizzie Bennet's Anniversary Curry (I nearly made a right D'arse of it)
I do declare, as Elizabeth Bennet might have said (happy birthday Lizzie – 200 today and still as full of eclat as ever), but declaiming one's success in the kitchen might be perceived as swollen headed. After all, why share mediocrity with the world and expect anything other than incredulous yawns in your face (my typo-ridden fingers actually wrote 'yams in your face' then, which is just as appropriate, I suppose). So … yeah. Sometimes recipes succeed. Sometimes they don't. And sometimes they taste like rancid grit in dishwater. I feel it unnecessary to share the latter two with y'all – but I think it only fair to reveal a few of my more haphazard successes. This one was definitely more by chance than design. I wanted to make a fresh, light curry to break a day's fasting (I'm on the 5-2 diet), but ended up … well. Not. Instead it was rich, creamy, tangy … and will be much improved with practice! (Clue – don't follow this recipe as it's quite annoying. Give it a read through and then do your own thing with it).
2 tbsp sesame oil
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 aubergine, sliced to 5mm
2 garlic cloves, chopped large
Fresh coriander
baby tomatoes (8? 10?)
175g paneer
3 baby peppers
Lime pickle
Harissa paste
Tomato paste
1 x tin chick peas
1 x tin coconut milk
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp ground coriander
- Pour 1 tbsp sesame oil into large frying pan/wok-type-deal and fry with the garlic pieces
- Remove onion onto a plate. Add another tbsp oil, then spices, followed by aubergine slices, salted. Fry until aubergine is softened and well coated in the spices.
- Add the onion back into the pan. Look dubious.
- Add baby peppers and fry til slightly softened.
- Add tomatoes, fry for another few minutes. Stare at pan. Look dubious. Taste. Make face.
- Scout around kitchen cupboard. Light upon chick peas. Think. Frown. Shrug. Chuck chick peas in with everything else. Look even more dubious.
- Add heaped tsp lime pickle. Shake head. Scout around cupboards some more. Discover forgotten packet of paneer.
- Chop half the packet of paneer into cubes and add to slightly grizzly looking curry. Ransack cupboards in growing dismay. Discover elderly tin of coconut milk.
- Add venerable tin of aforementioned. Stir and simmer for a while. Taste. Make face again.
- Add heaped tsp harissa paste. Simmer. Stir. Taste. Make slightly less dubious face. Add little bit more harissa.
- Add more salt.
- Simmer while cooking rice. Become pleased with golden hue curry is now adopting. Less pleased with slop-like texture of onions and aubergine. Taste. Make surprised and pleased face 🙂
- Add generous squirting of tomato paste. Stir, simmer some more.
- When rice ready, serve golden-hued and slightly sloppy curry with rice.
- Take cautious mouthful. Find it pleasingly hot, and jauntily tangy.
- Stuff face. Drink beer.
It retrospect, the main problem was not knowing what I was doing (NO!!) and therefore allowing the aubergine to become a little overly soft. But then again, it's possible a firmer texture would have meant less flavour. It's also possible that this only tasted good because it came at the end of a 24 hour fast, so if anyone does decide to give it a bash (or something similar) then do let me know what you think. I liked it's tangy richness – but it could definitely do with an improved texture. Perhaps it just needed something a bit firmer to balance it out, like carrot (but too sweet?) or potato.
Anyway – no matter what you're eating tonight on this anniversary of Lizzie n Fitzwilliam – happy munching! And while you're doing it, why not give that ol' Pride and Prejudice a revisit. It's really, really quite good you know. Even without the zombies.

Did you enjoy all the excitement about meeting our 9 new designers and their beautiful kits ? We're spoiled for choice in the shop and not just by the new designers goodies. It's time for one of our favourite features and that's to show One Kit in Five ( or so ) Ways. Rather than choosing one of the new designers kits – where would we start to single out just one of them? we opted for one of the older ones . Kits that is .. not designers! After not many ditherations the choice was made ( these girls don't need much persuasion ) and it's Count the Ways by Joanne Brisebois. What title could be more apt to showing it in different modes, so many possibilities. Tradional scrapping, altered art, art journaling; clean and simple ; blending. You name it and it works with this versatile kit . Besides who doesn't like Paris?
Cheery-O Madi has been introduced to scrapping with arch shapes and this kit is perfect for it. I bet she is hooked on arches now.
Cheery-O Timounette said
I can't do art journaling, but I know that some of you are the best in it… I do simple pages….
I fell in love with the soft colors of the kit, the papers are gorgeous, great for blending too, and perfect for water pictures…
Diane ( Dwsewbiz) our Cheery-O (and Blogteam leader) used it for expressing some very difficult thoughts and feelings. Isn't it nice how scrapping can help us through difficult periods and so much better than just putting pen to paper. That verse from the prayer card is something to store in your heart when it's difficult to let go.
She said: I have scrapped with this wonderful Parisian kit before, as I love Paris. So my first thought was to scrap some of the hundreds of photos I have from many trips to Paris. But when I reopened the papers, the colors spoke heritage to me. And this week October 10 would have been my dad's 87th birthday, and so this being on my mind, I choose a sepia-toned photo of my dad in the army, would have been about 1945 or so. And while the Paris theme might seem unrelated, the night before he passed, I had a dream that I was trying to get him to Italy to see the country of his ancestors, but I could not find him. He would have loved Italy, he would have loved to see Paris.
The journaling is from the prayer card we had at his funeral.
God saw you were getting tired,
And a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you,
And whispered "Come to Me."
With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away,
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
It does make you quiet doesn't it?
By Irene- our newest Cheery-O and also one of the blogteam members. You can read all about her here
Mine : As soon as I saw the expression on the face of the little girl I thought of this quote; she looks rather puzzled. Paris and the dress doll ( what do you call that in English? mummy? dummy ?) got me thinking of fashion and catwalks and suddenly it turned into a sort of journaling page..
And that was FIVE but of course we couldn't stop there.
Cheery-O and blogteam member Audrey : has gone for a truly romantic one.
Cheery-O Eva loved playing with it too- it was just the kit she needed.
This kit was a perfect match to an idea I had for a layout. We were watching The Hunchback of Notre Dame the other night, and I said that I had to scrap Esmeralda's prayer. When I saw all Paris themed embellishments in this kit, I knew I had a match. The photo of Notre Dame I found at Wikipedia.
and an art journaling page from Diane (Madi) I wonder if she ever got to Paris?
and Irene went for an art journaling page too, don't you just love that poem in the background.
Timounette couldn't stop at one page and shows us how just a few subtle elements give the page such an elegant mood.
Now has your appetite and inspiration been wetted by seeing these examples? Wouldn't you love to play with it??
Count The Ways is available in the O shop both as a kit or as separate items.

So many gorgeous pages !
Beautiful, beautiful pages ladies!!!
Great inspiration, love this kit!
and ….. I went to Paris and last time I even took the kids!!


text: Week 17, Mahalo nunui:) Grateful for the guidance of our MKMMA experience and answering the call to our hero's journey….giving ourselves permission. Concentration, spot on Master Keys Part 17. Notice when I do my daily reads and sit, my mind wonders. My mastermind partner, Mimo, shared that she keeps her magnifying glass close by. Mahalo piha for this awesome mana'o. Definitely helps to stay focused/concentrate while holding my magnifying glass to joyfully create my opulent world within.

It is marked on two lines J. NORTON & CO: BENNINGTON VT. With a larger number 3 (gallon) stamped beneath. The J stands for Julius, grandson of the potterys initiator Captain John Norton, who had founded the pottery in the late 1700s, and son of Luman Norton.
Represents Julius cousin Edward and son Luman Preston. Mark only lasted from 1859 to 1861 when Julius died, and thus represents one of the shortest durations of any mark in the companys 110-year lifespan (the only near-equivalent we could find was the Norton & Fenton mark of 1845 to 1847).
The mark is unmistakable, but very faint and incomplete in areas. We do not think this is due to wear, but rather due to a weak impression being made at the time of manufacture, amplified by the raised, rippled texture found over the whole of the jug.
The large, elegant floral decorations in cobalt blue across nearly the entire width of the front/display side. The jug is large and heavy, measuring roughly 15 tall and 9 1/2 in diameter, and weighing just over 11 pounds.
The mouth measures roughly 2 1/8 across the rim and 1 1/4 across the opening. This substantial piece will display well but does have flaws as would be expected of a piece that is over 150 years old. To start, we have made no attempts to repair/restore the jug and it is presented as found. As noted, the entire jug has a raised, rippled surface texture that can be felt but still feels smooth to the touch (not rough). We are unsure as to whether this texture is intentionally created to enable the user to better hold onto this large jug while pouring.
The texture can most readily be seen in the areas that are decorated, where the cobalt has been applied to the raised ripples while the channels maintain their lighter color, providing contrast between the two surface planes. The mouth is not level horizontally and leans slightly to the right and back when facing the jug. The handle too leans slightly from vertical in the same direction.
We believe these features may also have been by design rather than unintentionally. There are some of the typical manufacturing imperfections expected in stoneware of this age, including an area on the back that slightly divots but is still fully glazed. Other flaws include three small, shallow chips on the display side, two by the 3 mark, and one below right of the decoration, as well as other worn spots; other small surface chips, flea bites, and other areas of wear that are mostly superficial, penetrating only as deeply as the glaze and barely detectable by touch; discoloration, staining, rust-colored areas, general wear, etc. The bottom of the jug is rough and dirty and there is one gouge/chip that measures about 1/2 by 3/16 and runs about 1/8 deep.
The gouge also has a longer roughly 1 long slice running through the center of the fissure. We do not believe that this chip penetrates, but we did not test the jug with liquid. Whatever its flaws, this early J. 3-gallon stoneware jug is still undeniably a quite beautiful piece and will certainly make a wonderful addition to your collection.

Dante Edmonds dropped anchor and surveyed the surrounding area thoroughly. The last thing he needed at this juncture was unwelcome attention from a coastal patrol vessel or from any manner of law enforcement.
Having regained his freedom, he vowed he would never be so confined ever again. He wasn't naïve enough to believe he was the first man imprisoned for selling antiquities of questionable provenance, but to have been betrayed by a man he'd trusted had been the more grievous blow. This was a lesson the rightful owner of this boat and its contents should have learned sooner. Edmonds had taken the first opportunity to eliminate him, casting his lifeless body overboard.
As darkness fell, he went below decks and retrieved the heavy ordnance containers. Priming the contents of each for use, he returned to his surveillance of the sprawling mansion complex. The grounds were well-populated for the party only now beginning.
Given the relatively short range of his weapons and the fact his mission was initially intended to be carried out by two men, the timing would be tight. Raising the anchor, he gunned the powerful engines, moving as close in as possible without running aground.
Leaping from the pilothouse to the deck, he fired one after another of the heavy antitank missiles into the various visible structures. As he motored away from the burning rubble and carnage, he had no assurance he had definitely eliminated his betrayer but it was, all in all, still a good day's work.
This story was written for the weekly Flash! Friday flash fiction writing challenge.


text: As a farewell to summer vacation, the Harrington's attended the University of Wyoming's Dance department's production of Vertical Dance at the Vedauwoo recreational area. As should be expected in this great state, there were a few clouds threatening rain and upon their threat becoming a promise the show was postponed. However, as is also typical Wyoming, the storm passed over quickly and the Harrington's as well as hundred's of other attendees were set to enjoy a very entertaining show of superb story telling, athletic ability and grace.

As Gears of War 3 eats up a lot of our Man Cave hours, we decided to turn our attention to something we want more than oxygen: A Gears of War movie.
Click Here for IGN's Gears of War 3 Review
Check Out IGN's Ultimate Guide To Video Game Movies
A few years ago, Underworld director Len Wiseman was this close to bringing Marcus Fenix vs. the Horde to the big screen, but dropped out in 2010. (He's now directing the Total Recall remake.) So who should direct what could be the best space marines vs. aliens movie since Aliens? Here are our five picks. Don't forget to give us your picks in the comments below!
Kathryn Bigelow
Credits: The Hurt Locker, Point Break
Ever since Kathryn Bigelow won the Best Director Oscar in 2010 for The Hurt Locker, we've been waiting to see her tackle a big-budget action film.
The former wife of James Cameron has a similar knack for mixing memorable action scenes with heart and emotion. With her at the helm, Gears of War would be more than a mindless, male-oriented bloodfest. It could actually become that elusive, "quality" video game adaptation.
José Padilha
Credits: Elite Squad 2, the RoboCop remake
Anyone whose seen the director's work in Elite Squad 2 knows he can handle just about any action scene involving running, gunning and running while gunning. Given the director's recent statements about grounding his upcoming take on RoboCop within some very real, very character-driven stakes, Padilha seems like a no-brainer here. He seems like the type of filmmaker who can kick-start the Gears franchise with a strong mix of action and character-based set-pieces.
Rupert Wyatt
Credits: Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Given the track record of past video game adaptations, no one is expecting much from the Gears of war movie. Given the quality of the 2001 Planet of the Apes reboot, no one was expecting much from Rise of the Planet of the Apes either, but Rupert Wyatt managed to defy expectations and deliver a smart, engaging Apes prequel. Maybe he could surprise us all again with Gears of War.
He knows his way around mo-cap, clearly, and we'd bet dollars-to-donuts a GoW movie will rely heavily on that tech to realize the Locusts. Also, New Line is keen on cutting costs with this project. Wyatt proved to excel at that for Apes, which reportedly came in at $96 million. Wyatt is new enough on the Hollywood scene to not command a Spielberg-level budget, and he's proven that he can do spectacle at an affordable price. Given his talent and ambition, he could definitely give audiences' their money's worth, too.

ROG Swift PG258Q is all about speed — making it the perfect monitor for eSports and fast-paced action games. This Full HD monitor is the fastest ever, with a 240Hz native refresh rate, 1ms response time and NVIDIA® G-SYNC™ technology for silky-smooth gameplay and ultra-realistic visuals. On top of that, Swift PG258Q has distinct ROG-inspired design elements that let everyone know that this is no ordinary gaming monitor.
The Sensation of Speed
Incredibly Fast 240Hz Refresh Rate
ROG Swift PG258Q's astonishing 240Hz native refresh rate makes it twice as fast as conventional 120Hz monitors. You'll experience amazingly -fluid gaming visuals, giving you the upper hand in first-person shooters, racing, real-time strategy and sports titles. There will be no break in the action!
NVIDIA G-SYNC Technology with Ultra Low Motion Blur
Coupling ROG Swift PG258Q's 240Hz refresh rate with NVIDIA G-SYNC technology results in the smoothest, fastest, most breath-taking gaming imaginable. G-SYNC synchronises Swift PG258Q's refresh rate to the GeForce GTX graphics card in your PC or laptop to eliminate screen tearing and to minimise display stutter. There's also the Ultra Low Motion Blur (ULMB) technology to make objects in motion look sharper, so gameplay is more fluid and responsive.
*G-SYNC and ULMB cannot be activated at the same time.
1ms Rapid Response Time
ROG Swift PG258Q is the fastest in its class, with a 1ms grey-to-grey response time to completely eliminate smearing and motion blur. It's especially useful in fast- paced games – so you can take corners like a pro race car driver, or make that impossible headshot.
Showcase The Gaming Evolution
Present Gaming Aesthetic
ROG Swift PG258Q has a futuristic, gaming-inspired design featuring strong and bold lines, as well as built-in lighting effects on its stand to add ambience to your gaming set up.
Customizable Light Signature
Light Signature lets you create and customise ROG Swift PG258Q's light projection effects. It includes two ROG logo covers, and three blank covers that you can customise with a marker to create your own unique light projections, to shine against your desktop surface.
Gamer-Centric Enhancements
GamePlus Technology
The ASUS-exclusive GamePlus hotkey provides in-game enhancements like a crosshair overlay, an onscreen timer, a frames per second counter, and a display alignment function.
• Crosshair: The crosshair overlay offers four different crosshair options, so you can select one that best suits your current game environment.
• Timer: The onscreen timer (positioned on the left of the screen) helps keep track of elapsed game time.
• FPS Counter: The FPS counter lets you know how smoothly the game is running.
• Display Alignment: The display alignment function provides three alignment lines on each corner of the monitor for easy multi-display setups.
GameVisual Technology
ASUS GameVisual Technology offers six display mode presets to optimise visuals for different types of content.
• FPS: High contrast settings enhance the visibility even in dark scenes to clearly see your enemies.
• sRGB: Ideal settings for viewing photos and graphics online.
• Scenery: Provides a greater brightness range and introduces more contrast gradations. It tweaks colour saturation for greens and blues, making it ideal for viewing photos and videos that depict scenery.
• Racing: Reduces input lag, making it ideal for racing games when G-SYNC technology is on.
• Cinema: Enhances contrast and colour saturation for lively, vivid visuals — ideal for viewing movies.
• RTS/RPG: Enhances colour saturation and contrast sharpness to give you better, brighter colours and detailed visuals for real-time strategy (RTS) or RPG games.
Navigation Joystick and Hotkeys Make Gameplay All Easy
A 5-way navigation joystick and four hotkeys on the right-rear of the monitor keep display settings and advanced gaming features within easy reach.
NVIDIA 3D Vision-Ready
ROG Swift PG258Q is compatible with the NVIDIA 3D Vision® 2 kit to open up a world of 3D gaming. All you need is a NVIDIA GeForce graphics card and 3D glasses for a more immersive gaming and movie-watching experience. And with the latest NVIDIA® 3D LightBoost Technology, you'll enjoy brighter 3D visuals, without an increase in energy consumption.
Seamless Multi-Display Setups
Designed for those who want the ultimate battle station, the PG258Q features frameless design, nearly seamless for multi-display setups, for an even greater degree of immersion.
Robust Connectivity and Cable Management
ROG Swift PG258Q has a wide selection of connectivity options including DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI. There are also two USB 3.0 ports for your mouse and keyboard.
Gaming Marathon-Ready
Ultra-Low Blue Light Technology
ROG Swift PG258Q comes with the ASUS Ultra-low Blue Light filters to protect you from harmful blue light. You can easily access and select four different filter settings onscreen through the 5-way joystick.
Flicker-free technology helps reduce onscreen flicker, giving you a more comfortable, marathon-ready gaming environment. It is designed to minimise eyestrain, headaches and eye fatigue when you're embroiled in long, drawn-out gaming sessions.
The ROG Swift PG258Q gaming monitor has undergone stringent performance tests and is certified by TÜV Rheinland laboratories, a global provider of technical, safety, and certification services, to be flicker-free and to emit low blue light levels.
Ergonomic Adjustable Stand
The ROG Swift PG258Q is specially designed for marathon gaming sessions. It has an ergonomically-designed stand with tilt, pivot, and height adjustment so you can always find that ideal viewing position whether you're on the couch or sitting on your bed.
• Pivot: 90°(clockwise)
• Height Adjustment: 0 ~ 120 mm
• Tilt: +20° ~ -5°
Smart Air Vent Design
ROG Swift PG258Q features a custom heatsink that's twice the size of those found in other monitors to ensure it stays cool during marathon gaming sessions. Cooling is also aided by a Smart Air Vent design that uses convection currents to generate airflow within the monitor. This fanless cooling system ensures that ROG Swift PG258Q operates silently and stays maintenance-free. Features • 24.5-inch Full HD gaming monitor with a 240Hz native refresh rate for fluid gameplays.
• Ultra-fast 1ms response time and G-SYNC technology to eliminate motion blur and tearing for super-smooth gameplay.

Choosing a monitor is not an easy decision to make, and not just because of the large number of variations in resolution, refresh rates, sizes and connectivity options. There are also varying panel technologies used to form each display that need to be considered. These panel technologies can be grouped into three broad categories which cover the vast majority of monitors sold in the consumer market.
Date Issued: 17th Dec 2013
G-SYNC works in a surprisingly simple way - it calculates how long the present frame takes to compute and then, crucially, varies the refresh rate of the monitor to match. It works between a minimum of 33.3ms (30fps) and the maximum supported refresh of the display. The key takeaway here is that the graphics card and monitor are both synced up to one another - the monitor doesn't have the limitations imposed by a rigid, fixed-rate scanning routine.

Modern desktop computers and notebooks comprise of a CPU, motherboard, graphics, storage, and, usually an optical drive. Computers have a number of ports and sockets that enable the user to plug-in various peripherals such as a printer, USB mouse, or, perhaps most importantly of all, an Internet connection.

Keeping in tandem with technological developments, audio/video connectors continue to evolve at a steady pace. Today, the most common digital connector comes in the form of HDMI and we're here to tell you what it is, what it does, and why you might need it.

Now shipping with all but the cheapest complete PCs are LCD monitors. Advances in display manufacturing and associated cost reductions with economies of scale have brought LCD monitors into the mainstream, shipping with budget systems that start at just £400. LCD monitors come in all shapes and sizes, have differing resolutions and inputs. The purpose of this TekSpek is to provide a basic understanding of how LCDs work, delineate their desirable features, and to offer basic buying advice.

As you'll all likely know by now, DVI is the current standard for connection of a PC or other display generator to a digital display output. You'll recognise the multi-pin connector and know that almost all modern LCD displays have the corresponding input connector, for feeding from your PC. But do you know how DVI works? This TekSpek seeks to teach you how.

Whether the broadcasters are going HD or not, TV sets and projectors are arriving thick and fast which claim to support higher resolutions than regular telly. But HDTV is far from just one standard – it incorporates a couple of different resolutions, two different scanning modes, and a number of different frame rates. In this article, we present a guide to what all the terms actually mean.
Date Issued: 14th Jun 2008
There's a lot more to High Definition than just having the ability to run your screen at the right resolution. With more than one type of connection available, and the thorny subject of signal encryption to contend with, just because your monitor and graphics are capable of 1,920 x 1,080 or better does not necessarily mean they will be able to display HDTV in all its glory.

Members of the Clark County Quorum Court unanimously approved a request during their Monday meeting for funding to repair the air conditioner unit in the Clark County Detention Center.
Members of the Clark County Quorum Court unanimously approved a request during their Monday meeting for funding to repair the air conditioner unit in the Clark County Detention Center.
According to Chief Deputy Sheriff Raymond Funderburk, he found a compressor for $6,000. With an estimated cost of $12,000 to repair the unit, the total estimate is approximately $18,000.
In addition, Funderburk said another air conditioning unit in the office of the detention center went down Monday morning.
Since he has been with the county, Funderburk said this will be the fourth compressor that has been replaced in the unit itself. The units have been in use since the mid-1980s.
Funderburk noted the inmates have been housed in other facilities while the units have been out of commission.
"It is costing me about $1,000 a day to keep the inmates somewhere else," said Funderburk.
According to Justice Tom Calhoon, the Quorum Court's budget committee recently reviewed the matter, and made a recommendation to allow Clark County Judge Troy Tucker to spend up to $25,000 total, but not with one vendor, to repair the air conditioners currently in place at the jail. The funds will come from the county's jail construction fund.
In addition, justices approved funding up to $5,500 from the jail construction fund to replace a water heater at the jail.
Other items:
• Justices approved a resolution authorizing the adoption and the implementation of new voting equipment in Clark County.
According to Clark County Clerk Rhonda Cole, the Secretary of State's Office has purchased equipment from ES&S and will provide Clark County the new equipment so that it can be used in the November 2018 General Election. The cost for Clark County will be $3,875. The county's current equipment in use will revert back to the state to be traded in towards the purchase price of the new equipment.
Justice Albert Neal presented a concern regarding the use of the new voting machines at locations that do not have access to WiFi.
Cole said the Trinity polling location, which covers Hollywood, Okolona city and west Clark County, is the only location being look at due to WiFi accessibility.
"They've looked at the First United Methodist Church in Hollywood or First Baptist Church in Hollywood," Cole explained.
If the locations do not have WiFi, Cole said the election commission would have to purchase a router and booster for the Trinity location.
Cole said the polling location was originally at Okolona City Hall, but was moved to the Trinity location to make it a more neutral location for all of the voters in the area.
"Okolona City Hall definitely has it (WiFi), and it could be moved back to there or to the Okolona Community Building," Cole said.
According to location, the county is consolidating from 14 polling locations to nine locations.
"What that does is allows that voter in Clark County to go to any one of those nine polling locations," said Cole.
• Justices had the first reading of an ordinance to amend an ordinance pertaining to the county's budget for 2018.
