Items to Find out about a good Watch
Smart watches are the new in thing today. They actually do over just displaying time. They could have different applications and will perform number of useful things such as alert you when your phone rings. Even though they have separate systems and processors, smart watches are generally meant as a possible accessory to smart phones, like the Samsung Galaxy Gear smart watch. Samsung indeed was among the first companies to get this wearable digital camera into our lives, and so on our skin!
Are you aware all of the features?
Many of these watches that were recently launched can do numerous interesting things. They're able to take pictures, offer you driving directions and even more. probably the most successful use of an intelligent watch is reading emails and texts from a wrist. The unit connect to your tab or mobile phone through bluetooth and connect to the applications therein. Furthermore, they may be user friendly and possesses many apps too. If you're lucky, you might even here is another wearable devices that actually sports an awesome camera. Some of these smart watches today actually sport a 5 MP camera to help you take pictures inside a easier way.

Let's be truthful, how useful are smart watches?
You may think about the question that explains why are you wanting these watches. All things considered, you've your individual cell phone. What's more, your cell phone are capable of doing all the things that your smart watch can do, right? Well, consider it this way. Your camera can take better pictures than your smart phone. Yet, you do make use of cell phone, not? It is all about convenience and the way less difficult it really is to take care of these smart watches. You simply wear them and forget on them. What's more, with the good battery they have today, you surely can perform additional using them than that can be done using your cell phone.
Keeping record in your activities
Another application of these watches is keeping on top of your activities. By way of example, after the finishing working out, data can be uploaded onto a pc or sent online to create a log of exercise activities for analysis.
Google has introduced its own Android main system for smart watches. The os was created to give you a smart phone like experience within the wearable device. But that's not all. You can also run several Google-specific apps, including however, not tied to Google Maps and Hangouts. Imagine chatting from the smart watch or looking at the map. Sounds cool, doesn't it?
If Google persists on its path, the wearable device scenario will be a lot different after Google Glass is launched. Google Glass is not an smart watch though which is a wearable device. However, there aren't any scarcity of choices with lots of companies running to capture the novel market. Apple is stated being coming out with a unique iWatch soon which is another milestone.
Be sure to choose wisely
However, not every wearable items are amazing. These watches are unusually large in proportions, first off. Secondly, the are too extravagant. The Samsung Galaxy Gear costs just as much as these days itself. Thirdly, insufficient life of the battery is an ongoing problem. The greater the volume of applications the lesser will be the battery with the smart watch.

Man who fell through skylight at work may claim for his injuries
The man, who was employed with a painting and decorating firm at the time of the incident, had been painting the roof of an industrial building in Birmingham.
While he undertook this task, he stepped onto a skylight, which shattered and caused him to fall through the roof onto the building's concrete floor more than seven metres below.
He sustained multiple injuries, including a broken right leg, wrist, and elbow, as well as suffering breaks to the right side of his pelvis, head injuries, and facial lacerations.
He was required to stay in hospital for three weeks and undergo reconstructive surgery, and despite having now returned home he remains bed-bound since his leg is still in traction.
A Health and Safety Executive (HSE) investigation revealed that the man's employer – the sub contractors in this case – had failed to conduct a suitable risk assessment, and had no safe system of work in place. Furthermore, precautionary measures such as safety nets, covers for the skylights, and harnesses for workers, were not in use.
The principal contractor, which was a building company, was also found to have been negligent towards the safety of people working on the site. The firm had failed to make sure the painting and decorating company were capable, and had not monitored its work.
Both the principal and sub contractors were prosecuted by the HSE. The principal contractor was fined £3,000 and paid £1,932 in court costs. The sub-contactor which had employed the man was fined £4,500 and ordered to pay court costs of £1932.
The worker is still not sure whether he will be able to continue his career. He has been told that it may be another year before his injuries heal sufficiently to tell how much mobility he will regain.
Now that both of the firms liable for his fall from height have pled guilty, he may be able to make a claim against one or both of them for his serious work injuries.News

The Death of Free Speech on College Campuses
From trigger warnings to "free speech zones," the First Amendment is in peril on campus.
One of the truly delightful things about college is that it allows earnest young people to try out all sorts of ridiculous ideas without causing much lasting harm. After graduation, most will grow up and learn how to laugh at their prior selves. (The rest will become professors.) Let's hope the undergrads and grad students involved in some recent controversies become part of the former group.
First, a student legislative council at the University of California-Irvine approved (6-4) a resolution to ban the American flag from student government offices. The banners felt those should be "inclusive" spaces, while the American flag has been "flown in instances of colonialism and imperialism." And besides – get this – "freedom of speech, in a space that aims to be as inclusive as possible, can be interpreted as hate speech."
The student government's executive cabinet promptly vetoed the resolution, and the school administration called it misguided. But hundreds of academics, grad students, and undergraduates from around the country signed a letter in support of the Irvine Six, arguing that the "paraphernalia of nationalism is in fact often used to intimidate" and that "the resolution has drawn admiration nationally from much of the academic community."
Then there's Yik Yak, a social-media site popular on many campuses that allows people to post, anonymously, the sort of idiotic and insulting nonsense we've all come to expect in such anonymous fora. Yik Yak is therefore controversial, and some schools have tried to ban it. In urging her own school to do so, a Louisiana State University student contended that "free speech is constitutionally protected. Hate speech is not." But that's a false dichotomy. Hate speech is, in fact, constitutionally protected speech, as many pointed out after the University of Oklahoma expelled two members of a disgraced fraternity for participating in a racist chant.
Also recently, the student government at The George Washington University approved a measure requiring student leaders to attend LGBT sensitivity training regarding, inter alia, "using proper gender pronouns." A conservative student group, the Young America's Foundation chapter at GW, declined to go along. YAF treats everyone with respect, said representative Amanda Robbins, and doesn't need to be lectured on how to do so.
You can imagine how well that went over. The campus LGBT group, Allied in Pride, responded that YAF's "refusal to use preferred gender pronouns should be considered an act of violence." The comment calls to mind the Social Justice Kittens calendar, which features adorable kittens saying things such as "this conversation doesn't make me feel safe" and "you are jeopardizing my well-being with your violent refusal to agree."
Episodes such as these – along with the increasing demand for "trigger warnings," the campaigns to stamp out "microaggressions," and so forth – neatly illustrate the snake-swallowing-its-own-tail nature of political correctness. Its support for diversity produces demands for conformity. Its insistence on inclusivity requires it to exclude those who, say, swell with pride at the sight of Old Glory. Its efforts to make the classroom a "safe space" have made classes unsafe for those whose views deviate from the campus norm. It deploys macro-aggression – coercion and compulsion – to punish such non-aggressive acts as the peaceful withholding of consent.
The campaign against hate speech – or merely offensive speech, or just any speech the listener disagrees with – rests on a couple of different rationales. The first is that hateful speech can lead to hateful acts: Racial epithets might lead to lynching, for example. But there is no real empirical evidence to support that claim. Indeed, on today's campus any violence is more likely to be directed at the offending speaker, rather than at his intended target. (E.g, when an anti-abortion protester showed up a few days ago at the University of Oregon, he didn't change any minds, but students did snatch his poster and tear it up. "This is not part of your First Amendment right," they said.)
The second reason for protecting students from thoughts and ideas they find upsetting is to spare their tender feelings. But this effort is self-defeating. Even if it were possible to measure emotional pain, and to decide at what point such pain should (pardon the term) trigger the censor's veto, it is not possible to protect everyone's feelings the way we can protect everyone's rights.
A regime that protects everyone's free-speech rights can allow both the gay-rights advocate and the Christian fundamentalist to speak her mind. But a regime concerned with protecting people's feelings inevitably will hurt either the fundamentalist's feelings (by allowing only the gay-rights advocate to speak) or the advocate's feelings (by allowing only the fundamentalist to speak). Unless, of course, it hurts both of their feelings by letting neither of them speak. No matter what, though, it allows the censors to dismiss some people's claims for consideration as less worthy. (You sometimes get the sense that's exactly what the campus censors want.)
What's more, any regime that "privileges" feelings over rights inevitably will ignore the very real emotional pain experienced by another important group: those who cherish individual liberty and abhor censorship of any kind. There are still a few of them left – even on the modern American campus.

College campuses are the most restrictive locations in the US in terms of free speech. Anyone who dares to challenge the progressive ideology being pushed is attacked, verbally and physically. Muslims have been the source of the dramatic rise of Antisemitism over the past year and are working to silence anyone critical of Islam. Abortion, Immigration, climate change, LBGT rights are all issues that require students to follow the dogma of the left or they risk being expelled from school for being "intolerant". The simple truth is those who claim to be tolerant and open to all ideas are in reality the most intolerant and narrow-minded people in the country.
Tolerance means not tolerating intolerance.
And, of course, tolerance also means not tolerating inappropriately deadpan forms of satire directed against well-connected academic department chairmen teaching at institutions like New York University. Anyone who might be tempted to engage in that sort of inappropriate speech should expect the deans and dons of academia to take immediate action in the criminal courts. See the documentation of America's leading criminal satire case, including background on the still emerging scandal involving certain NYU officials, at:
"The simple truth is those who claim to be tolerant and open to all ideas are in reality the most intolerant and narrow-minded people in the country."
If it's that simple you must have data to back it up. Otherwise I suspect the simple truth is you are parroting empty slogans you've heard repeated on TV or radio.
If you need some data to back up TxJack's statement.
Here is a self-reference link to the above article.
However persuasive you find them, 3 or 4 anecdotes is not quite what I had in mind when I asked for data.
mtrueman|3.18.15 @ 3:13PM|#
"However persuasive you find them, 3 or 4 anecdotes is not quite what I had in mind when I asked for data."
YOU, who simply admits to lying and NEVER provides cites for your ridiculous claims. YOU ask for data?
Buzz off.
"YOU ask for data?"
If you are trying to tell me there is no data, I already knew that.
No. He's telling you you're an ass. Do you get it now?
"No. He's telling you you're an ass. Do you get it now?"
Bad news for you RJ, it's you who's the ass, as is anyone else who feels it necessary to interpret the words of a dullard like Sevo. I, on the other hand, am a smart ass, someone who knows the difference between data and anecdote.
" I, on the other hand, am a smart ass, someone who knows the difference between data and anecdote."
No, you are a stupid shit who is incapable of separating your opinions from facts.
And you really could do with someone to help you with your writing. Frankly, they lack verve, wit and a light touch. Bluster and tired insults will only take you so far.
mtrueman|3.19.15 @ 3:03AM|#
"And you really could do with someone to help you with your writing. Frankly, they lack verve, wit and a light touch. Bluster and tired insults will only take you so far."
No, I need no help whatsoever to identify a slimy liar. My writing lacks nothing at all in that regard.
Your 'writing' OTOH, lacks what most anyone would call 'honesty'. Or perhaps some degree of 'ethics'.
Instead, we get a constant stream of bullshit from mtrueman, and there's hardly anyone here who doesn't know it; see RJ, above.
mtrueman|3.18.15 @ 3:48PM|#
"If you are trying to tell me there is no data,"
And to add to RJ's astute observation, you're also a hypocritical piece of shit.
Buzz off.
"you're also a hypocritical piece of shit."
You should know by now, I'm far far worse than that.
mtrueman|3.18.15 @ 7:15PM|#
"You should know by now, I'm far far worse than that."
No, you're not. Don't bother ascribing more importance to some loser blogger than is warranted.
You're an ignorant, lying POS who wonders around the web hoping to be noticed.
Fuck off.
"freedom of speech, in a space that aims to be as inclusive as possible, can be interpreted as hate speech."
Uh, huh. And in *any* space, *that* statement can be interpreted as hate speech.
We re-instituted a mildly "underground" newspaper in college when I was the opinion editor of the "official" school paper. It was pretty cool. We had a variety of people put out some pretty edgy stuff.
Pretty good reaction all around. Students seemed to enjoy it, admin and faculty mostly ignored it.
Although I did get one history prof to proclaim, "Almanian is getting the students ready to march on campus!" implying violence and stuff. I'm still proud of that to this day,,,,
Nowadays? I just don't see THESE KIDS THESE DAYS doing something like that - not at the schools I'm familiar with. It's, like, edgy to hate GW Bush and want him and Cheney brought up on war crimes. Oooooo! Super edgy!
/rabble rouser
Be edgy and different. Just like everybody else.
"Be edgy and different. Just like everybody else"
Let us recite The Non-Conformist Oath:
Dark Lord of the Cis|3.18.15 @ 11:17AM|#
"Be edgy and different. Just like everybody else."
In SF, that's some self-described comic telling Bush jokes.
It's, like, edgy to hate GW Bush and want him and Cheney brought up on war crimes. Oooooo! Super edgy!
Somewhat related: Trey Parker and Matt Stone have stated that when they first started college they were pretty much left wing progressives, mainly because that was what was edgy when they were growing up in more conservative surroundings.
Then they got to college and saw the groupthink in action and how all the other students thought that following the leftist herd was so "edgy" and "cool." Apparently that's what lead them to a more quasi-libertarian outlook: the mindless groupthink they saw in everyone else at college and how intolerant everyone was of alternative views. Hopefully there's at least a few others on college campuses now who are having the same kind of "WTF" moment and waking up to the fact that being a mindless herd following prog really isn't that edgy at all.
I attended CU at the same time as Parker and Stone. And here I am.
Social conservatism has been re-introduced as "social progress." Don't say this. Don't do that. Conform to what "we" deem appropriate. This all sounds so familiar. Someone is inferior to you because of their skin color/gender/orientation? That's racist/sexist/homophobic/etc. Someone is superior to you for the same reasons? That's privilege. I swear, these people will jump in front of the "oppression train" if perpetuating their victimhood also perpetuates their narrative.
I don't like conservatives but I abso-fucking-lutely hate progressives. And I'm all the more glad I went to a red school in a red state (that surprisingly had a green light rating from FIRE). Yeah, I sometimes heard shit that I didn't agree with. But it beats some uppity administrative proggy telling me that "words are hurtful."
Grow a fucking spine.
"...I'm all the more glad I went to a red school in a red state (that surprisingly had a green light rating from FIRE)."
Why be surprised?
I felt there was room for improvement in the campus speech codes.
I felt there was room for improvement in the campus speech codes.
As in, eliminating them?
Fuck... I went to a not-red school in a blue state and if we even had such a thing I don't remember it. Of course that was 20 years ago.
It died a long time ago.
One of the truly delightful things about college is that it allows earnest young people to try out all sorts of ridiculous ideas without causing much lasting harm.
Do we include "going to college" in that list?
The particles of speech are flitting verses stunning or cajoling. Expression isn't a bullet and its momentum is only imaginary. Creativity atrophies when speech is paralyzed. The outcome of this shit spawns deadness of thought.
It's not about speech. It's about controlling the indoctrination process. I'm surprised they don't mandate on-campus living and restrict campus web access to ideologically approved sites.
The Internet should come with a Trigger Warning.
Kind of ratings. Only instead of G, PG, PG-13, R, and X, they will have different letters for different sorts of triggers like R for racism, H for homophobia, S for sexism or rape, C for cis-gendered, and so forth.
We'd get all of the letters.
I like this idea. Can Google and Bing (lol) have checkboxes so that I can only see posts that meet a certain rating? I want to search for something, but want to filter out all the stupid politically correct shit. I want to read stuff that HASN'T gone through the filter of what we are supposed to think.
It would be like looking through the little HBO guide back when I was a kid, trying to figure out how to get access to the TV, alone, when a show rated "SSC" would be on.
"The Internet should come with a Trigger Warning."
Oh don't worry, the FCC will have a mandatory webpage rating system in place soon enough.
I'm surprised they don't mandate on-campus living and restrict campus web access to ideologically approved sites.
You shouldn't give them ideas.
Actually I think most colleges these days do require on campus living for at least the first year, and I seem to recall seeing something a while back about a college somewhere either trying to block certain websites or trying to suspend a student for accessing a site about the Westborrow Baptist Church (which they were only visiting for a research paper about hate speech or something). Pretty sure FIRE sued them over that.
Give it time ProL, give it time.
isn't that what net neutrality eventually do?
Also, they like their reflections. A lot.
Stay out of my room, give me respect and hey, when's dinner?
I am doing this, too, since my dad doing the same brought me here. (I was intorudced, far too early, to Brazil (the movie), South Park, Moon is a Harsh Mistress, etc.
In fact, while talking about bullies with my 6 year old, after he understood what a bully is, I made sure he understood that the Government is the biggest bully of all, and the police are governments enforcers.
Stay out of my room...
"Start paying rent. Until then it's my house and my room. And that means my rules, which means I can go in there anytime I want. You just store your shit and sleep there."
...give me respect...
"You'll get respect when you've earned it. Until then, you're a puke."
...when's dinner?
"When you fix it yourself. You want to live in my house rent free and eat my food without paying for it or lifting a finger, then it's my house, my rules. You want your privacy and freedom? Get a job, start paying rent and feeding your own damn self and I'll stay out of your hair, until then STFU."
Probably a good thing I don't have kids. They'd call CPS on me for "emotional abuse" or some shit.
Of course, when they're 28, CPS never takes them away.
What's more, any regime that "privileges" feelings over rights inevitably will ignore the very real emotional pain experienced by another important group: those who cherish individual liberty and abhor censorship of any kind.
No shit. Where's my fucking trigger warning?
Remember though that these PC pushing assclowns don't believe in the concept of natural rights and think that those who do are the authoritarians who want to "impose liberty" on everyone else. Freedom is slavery or some such bullshit.
Loki, you don't get a trigger warning. You are sub human. It isn't even the "impose liberty" bullshit. It is that you are less than they are. This is crucial. You don't deserve their protections, because they are elite (as defined by them and declared by their beliefs) and we rate lower on the food chain than they, and their preferred pets, do.
The almighty Mario Savio: What a joke and loser that little leftist idgit turned out to be.
"freedom of speech, in a space that aims to be as inclusive as possible, can be interpreted as hate speech."
War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength
"refusal to use preferred gender pronouns should be considered an act of violence."
I might be offended by this, then I remember who we're dealing with: Armchair revolutionaries, the children of wealth and privilege, people who have never actually suffered any violence, or done any violence. Sheltered, pampered little poodles, one and all.
We're going through a weird 90s pc resurgence. I'm just hoping we can ride this storm out before we re-elect Hillary Clinton in '16.
"The campus LGBT group, Allied in Pride, responded that YAF's 'refusal to use preferred gender pronouns should be considered an act of violence.'
"this conversation doesn't make me feel safe"
"you are jeopardizing my well-being with your violent refusal to agree."
This is all hard for me to accept - not that there are some who actually think this way, but that there are many that do and they are able to inculcate their belief system in a growing number of others.
In the event that my fellow readers haven't had enough of this type of crazy, I'll add this: "Check Your Privilege" http://www.usfca.edu/The_Inter.....Privilege/
Just my opinion, but if a trans person has to force someone to use their preferred gender pronoun, they aren't doing it right. I can think of no sadder state than going from being an ugly man to a really ugly woman.
(who still looks like a man)
if a trans person has to force someone to use their preferred gender pronoun, they aren't doing it right.
I suspect it's mostly the pre-op trannies that have issues. A lot of post ops look enough like their chosen gender that you often times can't tell the difference. Maybe the Adam's Apple still gives it away but that's all.
I don't have an issue with calling someone whatever pronoun they want (what's in a
namepronoun), but at the same time I can understand why some people might resist wanting to call someone who's still biologically a male "she/ her" or vice-versa. In fact I used to be more in the latter camp until I thought about it and realized I really shouldn't give a shit: it's not like it affects me one bit either way.
If you're confident that the police exist to protect you, you have white male privilege.
Bahahahahaha.... Oh man, my sides....
Clearly these believers of the Privilege Axiom* do not inform themselves of certain realities which conflict with their views.
The posters/handouts at the other side of that link are just mind-numbingly un-insightful and myopic.
*Privilege Axiom - did I just coin something new?
If I were to direct them towards instances of cops fucking up white people, or black cops fucking up black people or...well... whatever... they would suddenly turn into Six Sigma Black Belts, talking about how those instances are statistically insignificant and should be ignored to to prevent sample bias and blah buh blah blah blah
I may or may not be speaking from experience.
I haven't seen that much stupid in one place, ever.
Let me introduce you to Tony...
Trigger warnings in themselves don't bother me. What bothers me are the people who would hear a trigger warning, and interpret it as permission to walk out. Those who want trigger warnings, so they'll know in advance what ideas to block out.
I can certainly sympathize with people who have experienced some past trauma and want to know that (say) X movie contains graphic rape images, so they can prepare themselves mentally. I don't sympathize at all with those who want the trigger warning so they can avoid being offended.
So yeah, trigger warnings for graphic violence, ok, but not trigger warnings for someone using the n word.
Students coming to these silly conclusions is the natural outgrowth of professor after professor -- even "constitutional law" professors -- publicly spewing the same nonsense.
The professors have no excuse. They should know better.
In order to alter our social reality, you have to alter the people first.
Speaking of "constitutional law" professors, Robert Reich has the perfect gig for Obama, after his presidency.
Pardon me while I go scream in a corner...
The next president, in all likelihood will be an R. Fat fuckin' chance they would anoint Obumbles as one of the Nazgul.
" ...it is not possible to protect everyone's feelings the way we can protect everyone's rights."
Hinkel, you're missing the point. They don't care about everyone's feelings or everyone's rights. They only care about right-thinking people's rights and feelings.
All others must go to
re-education campssensitivity training.
This all was beginning to gain steam back when I was in college, but was still just a sparkle in a proggie's eye back then. As the article points out, it is so very hypocritical to cry for diversity and everyone being different individuals, but then demanding everyone think exactly the same. I guess diversity really just means different hair colors, piercings, or tattoos. Diversity of the mind is considered evil. I am so damn happy that I am not in college right now. I'd be freakin beat up and lynched by all the people who claim to love and care about everyone!
To me, the really sad part is that these people who claim to be utterly unable to hear any sort of dissent against their notions are the same people who claim that they're the smartest fucking people on the planet. In other words, the people who would be most able to deal with a diverse set of viewpoints in a calm intelligent fashion.
Shit, a sack of taters contains more intellect, and more resilience to boot. There's no fucking way I'll let these weenies tell me how to live.
"But there is no real empirical evidence to support that claim. Indeed, on today's campus any violence is more likely to be directed at the offending speaker, rather than at his intended target. (E.g, when an anti-abortion protester showed up a few days ago at the University of Oregon, "
Not the sharpest thing I've read at Reason. If the writer thinks that an anti-abortion protestor showing up at a university a few days ago rises to the level of 'real empirical evidence' in support of his claim that any violence is more likely etc etc,
"There's no data to prove that. In fact I have an anecdote that proves otherwise!"
Well, you are certainly the expert in lying and not producing data, so there's that.
"the expert in lying"
Very generous of you.
You've so richly earned the honor!
Buzz off.
Say, these anecdotes are really persuasive, aren't they.
mtrueman|3.19.15 @ 3:08AM|#
"Say, these anecdotes are really persuasive, aren't they."
Yes, you've so richly earned the rep as a lying piece of shit. Keep it up; you can dig that hole much deeper yet, asshole.
To disagree with an opinion is now violence against the opinion and its holder and to not verbally agree with the opinion shall also be considered an aggressive act. the no win senario
Extremism in defense of sensitivity is no vice, and moderation in pursuit of sensitivity is no virtue!
The simple reality is that the more liberal any community or institution is, the less free the inhabitants are to dissent from orthodoxy. The only freedom liberals support is the freedom to do, think, and say what they do. And getting their way is an irrevocable demand, no matter what they want or how extreme it is.
The simple reality is that the more
liberalhomogenous any community or institution is, the less free the inhabitants are to dissent from orthodoxy
One doesn't have to be a progressive to be an asshole... it just so happens that progressives have the power, and thus most of the asshattery.
I think there is an element of truth to this, particularly when the people who control the community/institution never have to face opposing views. But liberalism is especially teleological due to its entitlement mentality, which leads to the feeling of emotional entitlement. Also, liberals in academia and similar places have a much easier time avoiding opposing views than conservatives do in any places they similarly dominate.
All this talk about triggers and intimidation ignores the most common cause of stress on college campuses: Studying for tests. They should eliminate all forms of testing in college courses. Only then will I be willing to pay $100K+ for a college education.
I make up to $90 an hour working from my home. My story is that I quit working at Walmart to work online and with a little effort I easily bring in around $40h to $86h Someone was good to me by sharing this link with me, so now i am hoping i could help someone else out there by sharing this link... Try it, you won't regret it!....

I have been wondering how the "roll-your-own-set-of-neo-pronouns-to-insist-on" ("hir / zie"/ etc.) manage when they are learning/communicating in a second, third, etc., language.
For instance: when a college student who has selected (when speaking English) the Politically Correctitudinous new pronouns "hir/zie"'as self-identifiers is studying Spanish/visiting a Spanish-speaking country (Spanish has no neuter pronouns, not even for inanimate objects), what does this individual do (and require the surrounding Spanish-speakers people to do)?
In a school/college/work setting, for example, how do the users of nontraditional English pronoun-sets deal with language classes in Spanish/with jobs where the employee needs to use Spanish, and so on? Do they get to flunk the Spanish teacher ("This language is triggering; give me an A+") and shame/denounce their Hispanic friends and co-workers?

Restaurant Review: One18Empire
>> Thursday, March 17, 2016
Atmosphere: Casual sophistication with elegant flare, loved the whiskey feature wall in the dining area which really draws the eye, perfect location for both groups large and small.
Price Range: Mid $10s - $20+
Food & Wine: I was really glad that there was a big group of us so we can taste quite a few different dishes ranging from appetizers to dessert. To start we ordered the Maple Bacon Wrapped Dates stuffed with gorgonzola and topped with whiskey syrup. You can never go wrong with anything wrapped in bacon and the sweet and salty combination of dates with bacon is always a winner.
Next up was the Seared Calamari. I really enjoyed this dish. It's refreshing to see calamari prepared in a different way other than the typical battered and fry method. Here the calamari was served over a light tomato sauce and topped with a fresh fricassee salad and olives. The calamari was soft, not chewy and went very nicely with the different flavour profiles going on in the dish.
One of the favorites of the table that evening were the Weathervane Scallops which were cooked to perfection and accompanied by pork belly and a creamy polenta with grainy mustard glaze. I loved the contrast of pork with scallops and the creamy polenta, perfect texture and taste.
After our amazing appetizers it was really hard to pick and choose our mains. The server mentioned the Daily Feature which was the Ossobuco and we couldn't resist. The veal shank was falling off the bone. I don't even think we needed a knife to pull the meat apart. The portion size was also very impressive. Served with a bean casserole and fresh greens, it was quite the formidable meal. Everything on this plate was comfort food brought to the next level. I really hope they decide to bring it back again.
My favorite main that evening was the Braised Short Ribs over a bed of risotto and blistered tomatoes. I have a soft spot for short ribs, especially when they're braised. It must be the melt in your mouth tenderness or the depth of flavour that the braising creates but I can never get enough of it. Couple this with the creamy risotto and tangy tomatoes and you've got yourself a winner. I probably could have eaten the whole dish if I didn't have to share.
The group really enjoyed the Grilled Duck Breast accompanied by a root vegetable hash. The duck was cooked to medium and had flawless crispy skin with all the fat perfectly rendered. It was definitely a good sized portion and the root vegetable hash was a nice compliment to the duck. A huge hit overall.
Choosing dessert was even harder (since they were all such a great deal!) and ended up ordering one of each and I was extremely glad we did when they came. Starting with the rich and decadent One18 Triple Chocolate Bourbon Cake, which was perfect for sharing. I loved the use of dark chocolate here or else it would have been too sweet otherwise. It was velvety and smooth with just a slight hint of bourbon.
Everybody loved the Goat Cheese Cheesecake, creamy and smooth with a perfect amount of goat cheese flavour coming through. It was definitely unique if you're looking for something a different. My favorite dessert was the Sticky Toffee Pudding with calvados ice cream. Not too sweet but utterly satisfying, the soft gooey cake was perfect with the creamy smooth ice cream, hot and cold all mixed together. Nothing beats a great sticky toffee pudding in my mind. And last but not least, my cousin got her Guinness Float, which she was craving since seeing the menu online. It was a full sized pint of…you guessed it Guinness! Topped with a nice big scoop of ice cream. This would be perfect for summer on the patio!
When you're here don't forget to sample some of their signature cocktail creations made with over 100 different types of whiskey they have on stock or if you're feeling adventurous let the bartender help you decide.
My Picks: Weathervane Scallops, Braised Short Ribs
Overall: The food at One18Empire just blew me away. The portion sizes were more than generous and the flavours really do speak for themselves. I was really glad that I made it out and can't wait to go back. I can see why it was named as one of Calgary's Top 10 new restaurants for 2016! I can see this hidden gem no longer being hidden for long!

JAMMU: The Air Force on Sunday said it will keep the Jammu airport open for civil traffic at night to facilitate passengers stranded in Jammu and Kashmir after Jat quota stir in Haryana severely hit train and bus services to the state.
"The ongoing agitation in Haryana has resulted in cancellation of several trains from Delhi to Jammu, Udhampur and other towns. Even road connectivity to Delhi and other places is hampered considerably. This has resulted in severe hardship and constraints to numerous citizens," he said.
"In order to give succour to the stranded passengers in Jammu and Kashmir, the air force is keeping the Satwari Airport open for civil air traffic during night from today," he said.
"This measure will ensure availability of the airport for civil operators round-the-clock. The Airport Authority of India and all other civil aviation agencies like DGCA and airline operating companies have been intimated through a notice regarding the extended period of availability of the airport," he said.
He said the IAF officials at the airport have clarified that the measure will continue till complete normalcy returns.
The Satwari Airport in Jammu is a military installation and used for training purposes.

New Project
Ben teamed-up with Zach Jones and created this letterpressed "vintage" poster. It commemorates the release of Utah's newly minted quarter. I have to say, it's pretty amazing in person. The circles on the bottom are where the new quarters would go. I love it and wanted to show it to you guys too. You can find it at The Mandate Press or at Sam Weller's bookstore.

This holiday season thing seems to be flying. I feel so out-of-date already with Thanksgiving pictures. Time seems to be going quicker and quicker. We had 18 over for Thanksgiving and I couldn't have been happier. It is always so great to get everyone together. Ben's parents came down from Idaho, The Francis' came up from Vegas, The Hites came over with their tiny one and even Great-grandma Edie made the trek.
So, do you remember HATING being put at the notorious "Kid's Table"? Now I remember why, They had no clue though. Well, not yet anyway.
After dinner, the kids were a mess and Richard made the suggestion that it was time to go for a run in the sprinklers. It's 35 degrees outside. Well - Henry and Avery thought it was a great idea. As you can see, they realized it was 35 degrees outside too. They remembered to keep their shirts on.
It wouldn't be a family get-together without a swim. I think the kids enjoyed this more than anything else.
Where's Collin? (We miss you guys.)

Yes, The Reverend Rocco is Back.
I have been asked a lot lately if Rocco was back from boot camp. Yes yes he is, indeed. He was gone for 8 fun-filled weeks back in April and May.
He came back a different dog. I was convinced that the reason he was gone so long was to take the time needed for the lobotomy scars to heal. He went from a crazy freak, to a brain-dead couch potato (fabulous!).
Well, he must have just been tired because he is still the same crazy - sometimes inconceivably dumb - dog. I still catch him trying desperately to catch and chew dust particles, and he is still has irrational fears of alluminum cans and laundry baskets. It's just that now he knows some pretty serious commands and can actually walk the block without a leash. Impressive.
And we aren't afraid to use the shock-collar. Before anyone gets mad about that, don't. I felt bad too, but Ben went ahead and shocked me in the kitchen. Yes he did. It wasn't bad. But he did get my undivided attention.
For those of you who aren't familiar with my difficulties with this bulldog, you can go here to learn of my earlier sentiments.
He's also a great dog because he only sleeps here. He goes to work everyday with Ben which helps a ton.
Long live (the new) Rocco!

Our newest-newest nephew. . .
All of these babies! Cute babies. Roz and Richard had Grant on Friday. I held him for about 15 minutes on Sunday and said, "Yup, Ok I love him." I do.

Breakfast - the most important meal of the day.
I sleep in, Avery takes care of her own breakfast.
If you come over and sleep in, I am sure she will make some for you too. We may be out of jam by then, but we'll see. Don't worry, we'll get more pepperoni too.

Smart Thinker
Avery has found that if she puts on my boots, she can reach the TV buttons. I tried to explain to her that standing on her tippy toes does the same thing, but she won't hear it.

A little empathy here
My iPhoto is not letting me upload photos. I don't know what the problem is.
So let me just take this chance to share a little empathy I have with Ms. Marie. Not even having watched the show, I have watched her faint 18 times, on every network and every show. It's embarrassing enough to faint, but then to have it played over and over. . .
I found myself feeling bad for her. It's because I had an embarrassing faint, and it wasn't even recorded.
I was a Junior in college. It was my first week in my Anatomy Lab. New class, new cadaver. Three o'clock in the afternoon, no lunch yet. Bad bad combo.
The cadaver was on his stomach and the teacher was going over the muscles of the back. I was pinned between the cadaver and the wall. I was leaning OVER the body to get a better look, breathing in all that wonderful formaldehyde. Do you see where I'm going with this?? Luckily there was a girl leaning over next to me. The last thing I remember was looking over at her and saying,
"Uh, I think I'm going to pass out."
The next thing I feel is this girl's hand against my neck sliding me down the wall. She saved me from falling face-first into this poor guy's guts.
I never really got to know anyone in that lab. So it made it worse when I found out a few months later that my name was "THAT GIRL." That was my name. Even the lab tech admitted to it.
So embarrassing.

So, you've graduated college and are now officially an adult – congratulations! If you're anything like me, the excitement of graduation faded over the summer into some self-doubt and uncertainty. What am I actually supposed to be doing? What do functioning adults do? College did not teach me how to do my taxes or even cook a real meal. I'm about to start my first job and I don't know what I'm doing; there is no way I can be considered a real adult.
When you're just starting out, how do you get past this time of uncertainty? While in high school, I was shown a Ted Talk video that I believe has the answer for any points of uncertainty in life. A majority of the talk is about body language and some science behind psyching yourself up. I highly recommend the whole video, but the last few minutes really inspired me and have stuck with me over the years (starting at 15:45). This clip is applicable to many situations, but I think it is especially true for young adults and young professionals just starting out. I truly believe the key to becoming an adult is this: fake it. Fake it until you make it. Fake it until you become it.
I've been thinking about this recently as I've begun to notice some changes in myself since graduating and starting this job. I've always told myself I'm not actually a people person; I'm an introvert and I like to work alone and people make me tired. When I was assigned my chapter visits and had to travel for a month, I was excited but also nervous. I'm not super bubbly and outgoing; are the collegians going to like me? What if I don't build any connections? What if the introvert in me just gets exhausted and hates every second of it? What if I can't answer their questions? What if I'm not cut out for this?
I'm happy to say none of that ended up being true. Yes, my normal style is to be on the quiet side and get to know people slowly, but that wasn't an option. So, I faked it. My first flight landed and I met the chapter president and gave her a hug (even though I'm not a hugger). We got in the car and I started making small talk and trying to chat (even though I'm terrible at small talk and was already exhausted from my 6 a.m. flight and delays). I got to the chapter and did a recruitment workshop I had never done before (I definitely bombed it, but don't worry they got better!). I had to overcome many of my natural tendencies to make myself fit the situation. And it worked.
I want to be clear that even though I was faking it, I was not being fake. I was still being my authentic self, while just adapting myself to the situation. Building relationships quickly isn't my strong suit and I'd prefer to develop relationships slowly, but I put myself out there and got out of my comfort zone. I used my genuine personality but I faked some new strengths. As my visits continued, I adapted to this style and it got easier and easier. Suddenly, I realized I had actually become better at engaging in conversations with people I'd just met; I could build trust faster. I used my energy to pump people up and give more engaging workshops. I was referencing my training documents less and less and became more confident in my ability to do the job and answer tough questions. As a young professional, I could give the collegians feedback and advice, for Sigma Kappa and for life. I had faked these new strengths well enough to develop them into skills and build confidence in myself. I had actually faked it enough to make it real; I'm actually an adult and a leadership consultant!
As young adults, and especially as young professionals, there is a tendency to believe that you should have everything figured out. But like any other endeavor in life, becoming an adult and starting your first job comes with a learning curve. Nobody actually expects you to have it all figured out. The reason there are so many best-selling self-help books is that nobody else knows what they're doing, either. "Adulting" is really just everyone doing their best to pretend they've got their life together. So, whatever it is you're questioning: stop. Stop thinking you're not supposed to be there; stop thinking you're not a real adult or you're not cut out for your new job. If you're there, you're supposed to be. Don't let your doubt hold you back. Keep doing it and keep trying. Fake it – everyone else has. One day, you'll look back and realize you're no longer faking it and you've become confident in your new strengths and abilities.

More footage of DRC army brutalising civilians
From JEAN KASSONGO in Kinshasa, DRC
KINSHASA, (CAJ News) –RIGHTS groups have called for the expansion of sanctions against the Democratic Republic of Congo following video emergence of the national army brutalising and killing civilians.
The advocates are demanding such restriction also effected to curtail the incessant killings of civilians by the military during operations against militia groups.
In the most gruesome footage, men in Congolese army uniform fatally shoot at least 13 alleged militia members, some of whom are carrying sticks and slingshots, in the volatile Kasai region.
Another video shows an unarmed girl bleeding on the ground outside the governor's office in Kananga, capital of Central Kasai.
Men said to be soldiers are heard interrogating her and refusing to take her to the hospital.
They kick her twice in the face.
It is reported she died later in hospital.
Soldiers have killed at least 101 people, including 39 women, during an outbreak of violence involving the Kamuina Nsapu militia in Tshimbulu, in Central Kasai.
Human Rights Watch Central Africa director, Ida Swayer, said United Nations and Europe should also consider imposing additional targeted sanctions, including travel bans and asset freezes.
"Localised violence, armed conflicts, and serious political tensions throughout Congo heighten concerns that the country is a powder keg ready to explode."
Sanctions have been imposed on government and security figures after the violence that was meted against opponents of President Joseph Kabila's hanging onto power despite the lapse of his tenure last year.
Peace talks are uncertain amid recurrent violence.

Anyone that has heard Brain cancer been talked about would probably have a gripping fear. The good part however is that there's a less than 1 percent chance you'll develop a malignant brain or spinal tumour in your life.
Brain cancer comes in two varieties: Primary tumors, which start in the brain and rarely spread, and secondary tumors, which start elsewhere in the body (typically the lungs or breasts) and spread to the brain.
Over time, brain cancer can impact surrounding brain cells to seriously compromise brain function. And while that's true of all brain tumours, malignant or benign, cancerous tumours are more likely to spread throughout the brain, and rapidly too.
This perhaps is the reason why malignant tumours require aggressive treatments, including surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy.
Here are seven brain cancer symptoms you need to know about.
Nasty Headaches
Headaches could be a sign of a brain tumour, and potentially a cancerous one. If you suddenly have severe headaches or if you're experiencing nausea or vomiting with your headaches, you should seek attention from a doctor.
While nausea also accompanies migraines, it's never a bad idea to get yourself checked out, especially if your migraines are new or worsening.
When you're having a seizure, that means something in the electricity of the brain isn't right. When cancerous tumours press on the brain cells around them, they can cause electrical signaling problems.
It is possible that you could have a seizure disorder, which is categorized by recurring seizures, rather than a tumour. If you however experience one seizure, you need to see your doctor as soon as possible.
Extreme Nausea
There are a lot of reasons a person could feel nauseous, but if it persists without any concrete explanation, that's a red flag for brain cancer.
If you're someone who never feels ill like that and it comes on suddenly and sticks around, especially if you're over 40, you should seek attention, especially if your nausea is accompanied by the other brain cancer symptoms on this list.
You Don't See Well
The symptoms of brain cancer sometimes depend on the area of the brain where the tumour is located. So if a tumour happens to be behind your eye, that could compromise your vision.
As such, pay close attention to your eyesight and get your eyes checked out regularly (Preferably every year). A brain tumour could cause blurry vision, double vision, and loss of vision, and even cause floating shapes or spots to appear.
Clumsy Feeling
Brain cancer in other areas of the brain can manifest physically as well, and can often throw off a persons balance and motor control. If you feel a weakness or numbness on one side of your body or have trouble dressing, it could be related to a tumour in a certain location.
You can get confused when you're overloaded with work, not sleeping well, or getting low on blood sugar. But if you have trouble finding the right word, or your friends notice you calling things by the wrong names, you need to talk to your doctor about having a brain scan.
Severe forgetfulness and confusion are other warning signs that the wires are crossed in your brain, potentially due to a tumor.
Mood Changes
The frontal lobe is the area of your brain that controls your personality, so brain cancer could literally turn you into a different person. People can actually notice odd behaviours or changes in behaviours with a tumour.

The contest always generates some great works and it's a great format for working within defined guidelines on a deadline for aspiring character artists and illustrators. Full guidelines for both 2D and 3D entries can be found here.
Entries are due by March 10th. Good luck and have fun!

Is that new streaming method also why it keeps reloading the video when you go back a minute or so?
Very annoying. Sometimes when i watch a guide on how to disassemble a notebook for example i will always jump back to make sure i get it right. And it will always reload. A few months ago it would just replay the video from cache without the need to reload the video. Did I mention that i have a monthly limit of 15GB? F**king LTE. F**king Youtube!
Yes it works in firefox
Most likely, 1080p will be disabled for videos from the Vevo channel and the big 3 record labels' own channels.

Ogdensburg parolee jailed after allegedly pulling BB gun during fight in Agway parking lot
Monday, March 12, 2018 - 5:39 pm
OGDENSBURG -- City police say a man on parole is jailed after pulling what appeared to be a handgun during a fight in the Agway parking lot.
Donald A. Dobbs III, 30, of Jay Street, Ogdensburg is charged with second-degree menacing, fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon and disorderly conduct, police said.On Friday around 4:54 p.m., police say an officer on patrol observed the fight in the Agway parking lot at 1003 Park St. A male victim said another male approached him, pulled a gun and threatened him, police said. A "physical altercation" ensued, and police said they recovered a BB gun that looked like a real pistol from the parking lot.
Dobbs was charged Monday, arraigned in city court and remanded to the county jail, Canton, in lieu of $500 bail or $1,000 bond, police said.
Dobbs is on parole for a prior felony conviction, according to city police.

(CNN)An alleged drug lord on the run from the Philippines has been arrested in Abu Dhabi.
Kerwin Espinosa, 35, is accused by President Rodrigo Duterte of being one of the biggest illegal drug operators in the Eastern Visayas region.
Duterte told police to "shoot on sight" after Espinosa refused to surrender in August following the arrest of his father, Rolando Espinosa, mayor of Albuera, on the island province of Leyte.
The younger Espinosa was arrested late Sunday in Abu Dhabi, Philippine national police chief Ronald Dela Rosa told CNN Philippines.
Dela Rosa said it was expected Espinosa would be transported back to the Philippines this week.
Tipped off
Police were made aware of his location by overseas Filipino workers in Abu Dhabi, after which Interpol issued a "red notice" seeking "the location and arrest of wanted persons with a view to extradition or similar lawful action."
The Philippines' ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, Constancio Vingno Jr. said authorities were looking into who Espinosa had contact with in Abu Dhabi.
"He was able to rent an apartment, if you are not a resident here it is not possible to rent. Somebody might have rented for him," Vingno told CNN Philippines.
Drug war
Duterte has overseen a huge war on drugs since his landslide election earlier this year.
Last week, a Senate inquiry into extrajudicial killings allegedly linked to the crackdown was scrapped. That followed the ouster of anti-Duterte Senator Leila De Lima as head of the committee overseeing the investigation.
This month, Duterte likened himself to Adolf Hitler, saying that he wanted to kill millions of drug addicts just as Hitler killed Jews during the Holocaust.

Lil Wayne Lawsuit Against Universal Music Group on Hold Due to Birdman Beef
Looks like Lil Wayne's ongoing beef with Birdman could potentially be costing him money. theJasmineBRAND reports that a federal judge won't allow Wayne's lawsuit against Universal Music Group to move forward until his dispute with Birdman is resolved. Universal Music Group (UMG) reportedly filed a response to the suit, asking for it to be put on hold until Wayne sorts out his issues with Cash Money Records and label CEO, Bryan "Birdman" Williams.
Wayne reportedly is seeking $20 million from UMG in unpaid royalties, stemming from his work with Nick Minaj, Tyga and Drake. Reportedly, UMG took money that it owed Wayne and redirected it to Birdman to compensate for the $100 million deal that was inked with him. Aside from UMG, Wayne is also suing Birdman for $51 million. The latest ruling says that because of the similarities between the cases, Wayne must sort his issues out with Cash Money first, because it will affect the decision with UMG.
Although Birdman has claimed that things are better between him and Wayne, who he still refers to as his family, Wayne has a difference in opinion, which he routinely let's be known publicly. He killed any talks of a settlement with Cash Money back in May. Meanwhile, Weezy is continuing to make music, including an appearance on DJ Khaled's latest offering, Major Key. He also will appear with frequent collaborator 2 Chainz during his second annual "Lil Weezyana Fest" in New Orleans later this month.
As for his suit against Cash Money and UMG, time will only tell if Wayne will ever get the money he feels he's owed.

I'll be the first to say I'm a die hard Riccardo Tisci fan and I'm sure if I ever met him in real life i'd have to do a Wayne's World "I'm not worthy" type thing instead of talking.
However, I've been pretty disappointed with what he's been doing lately (aside from Autumn Couture 2010 and Spring 2011) for Givenchy and I feel as though he's almost stopped caring about what he puts out. As much as this whole (rumored) replacement for John Galliano had made me a little ill, I'm actually looking forward to seeing how he'll work his style into Dior and hopefully get that spark back.

Whether it's because of the hype around Velvet Teddy thanks to Kylie Jenner or just the shade itself, I've been hooked with all kinds of nude lipsticks for the past three or four months. I've never even really thought about nude lipsticks and now I suddenly have four of them. That might not sound a lot to some of you, but for a girl who had only two lipstick a year ago, it's plenty.
The one I'm going to talk about has to be my most used, the cheapest and probably favourite nude lipstick I own. It's the Makeup Revolution #Liphug in When You Came To Me. It's also the first nude lipstick I bought actually.
Even though the #Liphugs cost only £2.50, they're very long lasting, creamy and the pigment is just perfect! The only thing that puts me off is the smell of the lipstick but you really don't notice it at all when it's on your lips, only if you're like me and love to stick your nose in every product you own and smell them until you feel dizzy.
When it comes to lipstick shades I'm usually very rubbish at explaining them but I'd say this is a nude lipstick with a hint of peach in it. I really hope that the pictures I took give the actual shade some credit but you can also view the lipstick on Makeup Revolution's website here.
Have you tried any of the #Liphugs? What's your opinion?

Introduction of Naringin:
Naringin has very high amounts of disease-fighting, free-radical eliminating antioxidants and phytonutrients called bioflavonoids. One of these powerful bioflavanoids (plant antioxidants) include the chemical component hesperidin, a well-known natural immune-system stimulator and booster.
Chemical analysis of Naringin shows additional antioxidant constituents including Vitamin C, sterols, tocopherols, citric acid, liminoids, and other trace minerals. Perhaps most exciting in regard to Naringin's health benefits is its anticancer potentials. Studies done on the compounds in Naringin's seed and pulp have found that these bioactive agents may be able to inhibit the occurrence of colon cancer.
Function of Naringin:
1. Naringin main advantage is it's extraordinary ability to perform both (internally and externally) against a wide variety of known or unknown infections caused by viruses, bacteria, funguses and parasites.
2. It helps alkalize the body. Disease cannot live in an alkaline environment within the body.
3. Naringin stimulates the immune system. Its a natural plant extracts from the edible plants used as an extremely potent broad-spectrum bactericide, and fungicide should be very effective for the fruit preservation.
4. It is extremely good for fast healing of scar tissue associated with many types of wounds (even big ugly scars).
Information of Naringin:
Production Name
Latin Name
Citrus grandis
98% Naringin
Light yellow powder to Off-white powder
CAS No.
Molecular Formula
Formula Weight
EINECS No.
1. can be used as a food additive, mainly used for chewing gum, soft drinks etc..
2. can be used as a new sweetener for the synthesis of high sweetness, innocuity and low energy. It can be used as the raw material of Naringin Dihydrochalcone and Neohesperidin Dihydrochalcone, which is a kind of new sweetener with high sweetness, innocuity and low energy.
25kg/drum; 1kg/foil bag; double plastic bag inside, aluminum foil bag or fiber drum outside.
Store in a well-closed container away from moisture and light.
Expiration Date
2 years if sealed and stored properly.
Application of Naringin:
1. Applied in food field,grapefruit seed extract is mainly used in kinds of beverage, liquor and foods to enhance human immunity and anti-aging;

Product Description
Versatile cycling on gravel tracks and singletrack trails. The Cube Access WS EXC 29er is a women's hardtail mountain bike offers a confident off-road ride. With a suspension fork to smooth the trail and hydraulic disc brakes for confident all-weather stopping the Access EXC is ready for adventure. The 29" wheels offer rapid rolling performance on rough as well as smooth surfaces. Smaller riders may prefer the fit of the Cube Access WS EXC 27.5".
Key Features:
- Aluminium alloy frame is lightweight and robust
- Suntour XCM offers 100mm of suspension travel with remote lockout
- Shimano 3x8 speed drivetrain for reliable shifting with a wide gear range
- Shimano hydraulic disc brakes for powerful all-weather stopping consistency

Looking for just the right blend of comfort and performance in a mountain bike? We know how you feel - and that's why we created the Access Exc. Starting with our Size Split system, we've ensured that every rider can find her perfect fit - so you can be assured of the best possible handling. They're all equipped with the reassurance of weather-resistant hydraulic disc brakes, plus grippy and lightweight Schwalbe tyres and a saddle, handlebar, stem and grips tailored specially for women. Naturally, we've fitted a Suntour suspension fork for added comfort and control on even the roughest of trails, and Shimano's wide-ranging gears are reliable and easy to use. Pick the size that fits you best and you're all set for off-road adventures, wherever they take you.
Cube's engineering team has a straightforward set of goals with our frames: great handling, great fit, great performance. The Access Exc's 6061 aluminium chassis uses complex, mechanically formed tubes to save weight without sacrificing efficiency, so your efforts on the pedals will always be rewarded. The short, lowered top tube and our proprietary compact Agile Ride Geometry (ARG) work together to create a ride position that's perfectly tuned for the keen rider: well-balanced, agile and confidence-inspiring. And the attention to detail is exactly what you'd expect of Cube, with internally routed cables and a neat disc mount for the rear brake that tucks it out of the way between seat and chainstays. We've even made it easy to attach a kickstand and luggage rack, for even great versatility.

Lydia (minor planet designation: (110 Lydia) is a large belt asteroid with an M-type spectrum,[4] and thus may be metallic in composition, consisting primarily of nickel-iron. It was discovered by French astronomer Alphonse Borrelly on April 19, 1870[5] and was named for Lydia, the Asia Minor country populated by Phrygians.[6] The Lydia family of asteroids is named after it.
Observations made during 1958–1959 at the McDonald Observatory and in 1969 at the Kitt Peak National Observatory found an uneven light curve with a period of 10.9267 hours.[7] In the late 1990s, a network of astronomers worldwide used light curves to derive spin states and shape models of 10 new asteroids, including (110) Lydia. They obtained a period of 10.92580 hours, with the brightness varying by no more than 0.2 in magnitude.[3]
In the Tholen classification system, it is categorized as an M-type asteroid, while the Bus asteroid taxonomy system lists it as an Xk asteroid.[8] Absorption features in the near infrared are attributed to low-iron, low-calcium orthopyroxene minerals. Water content on the surface is estimated at 0.14–0.27 by mass fraction (wt%).[9] Measurements of the thermal inertia of 110 Lydia give a value between 70 and 200 J m−2 K−1 s−1/2, compared to 50 for lunar regolith and 400 for coarse sand in an atmosphere.[2] It is a likely interloper in the Padua family of minor planets that share similar dynamic properties.[10]
Lydia occulted a dim star on September 18, 1999.

Agent Elena "Yo-Yo" RodriguezPlayed by Natalia Cordova-Buckley
Elena "Yo-Yo" Rodriguez never likes to find herself standing still, but when the rest of the S.H.I.E.L.D. team was stuck inside the virtual reality world of the Framework, Yo-Yo was forced to keep the Zephyr One in the air, ensuring the survival of S.H.I.E.L.D. from the pursuit of the Russian villain Ivanov. After the team escaped without Mack, Yo-Yo went into the collapsing Framework to save his life, but once inside, Mack couldn't remember who she was and refused to leave his daughter Hope. Yo-Yo decided that she would stay and die then too. After Hope's virtual avatar disappeared, Yo-Yo managed to get her and Mack out of the collapsing Framework and into the real world, saving both of their lives, and their future together.
Natalia Cordova-Buckley was born in Mexico City and raised in Cancun. As a young girl, she developed an immense talent for dance and was accepted into the dance company "Centro de Arte Silo XXI." While there, Natalia trained under renowned ballet teacher Fernando Alonso who is considered the father of Cuban Classical Ballet. At the age of 17, she was accepted to the prestigious North Carolina School of the Arts' drama department, a selective high school program for seniors in fine arts. After graduating from NCSA's high school program she attended the theatre conservatory at Cal-Arts in California.
Natalia scored her first major leading role in the feature film Ventanas al Mar opposite Spain's veteran actors Charo López and Fernando Guillén. Her resume as an actress includes film and television credits in both Mexican and American productions and was recently seen in Disney's McFarland U.S.A.
Natalia was offered the role of inhuman/superhero Elena "Yo-Yo" Rodriguez in Season 3 of Marvel's Agents of Shield and quickly became a fan favorite. She was brought back for Season 4.

DQ Styles (styles.xml)
Requires Decipher Cloud
styles.xml file is an XML file very similar to our
survey.xml, but it can only house style definitions for a DQ, containing its

Note: Only the
name and
type are required within a
   </styles>
desc variable will describe the functionality of each applied style.
For example, the
starrating tooltip styles have the following descriptions:
   </styles>
By default, all displayed attributes are shown in the Survey Editor. Add
where="none" to a DQ's
   </styles>
type variable will designate the functionality of a style, and there are a variety of different values you can use to further customize your DQ. The most common style
types are outlined below.
The type variable can be set to
string for a non-translated string (e.g., a configuration attribute):

The type variable can be set to
bool for Boolean values 0 (False) or 1 (True):

The type variable can be set to
enum for a predefined list:

The type variable can be set to
color for an HTML color code:

2: Including Files
If you would like to use a more customized look for your DQ, you can add JavaScript and CSS files to your style using the
<include> tag to load them. Any file you want to reference should be stored in a static folder without a FocusVision version directory.
For example, the
hottext style uses both JavaScript and CSS files:
<include href="hottext.css"/> <include href="hottext.js"/>
If these files are only needed for reporting purposes, you can add
where="report" to the
<include> tag to designate this functionality. For example, the following
hottext style ("
reporting.js") will appear only in the report:
<include where="report" href="reporting.js"/>
You may also limit the use of a file to certain scenarios using the
cond attribute. This is particularly useful when working with device-specific styles.
For example, if you would only like to load a JS file if users access your survey on an iPhone, you could use the following code:
<include cond="device.iphone" href="special-iphone-fix.js"/>
<include iecond="lte IE 8" href="/s/support/excanvas.js"/>
Which, when rendered, would expand into:

If needed,
.less styles can be added as well. To include
.less styles, you would use a slightly different syntax. Here is an example from the
atm1d dynamic question:
<less href="atm1d.less"/>
Note: When adding a
.less style, the file would be hosted in the same location.

Patriots report, prepare for 4 games without Brady
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) The New England Patriots are getting ready for the season - and the prospect of playing their first four games without quarterback Tom Brady.
The Patriots reported for training camp on Wednesday. Brady can take part in practice and the preseason, but he will miss the first four regular-season games. That's his punishment for his part in what the league found to be a scheme to illegally deflate footballs in the 2015 AFC championship game.
Coach Bill Belichick says there is finally some ''definition'' to the penalty, which has dragged on for 18 months.
Belichick gave no indication how he would use the practice time to prepare his quarterbacks. Jimmy Garoppolo is the backup, and the team also drafted Jacoby Brissett this year.

RC Pro National Finals was hosted by Mikes Hobby Shop/Gulf Coast Raceway, Porter, Tx. A 4 day event with open practice Thursday, controlled practice and 2 rounds of quals on Friday, 2 more quals and lower mains, and Sunday remaining mains.
Round 1 of Quals had Tekin powered Brian "Smiley" Henn taking early Tq in both Pro4 Sc and Pro E-buggy. Henn repeated his top qualifying in Round 2.
In Round 3 Henn would continue the TQ streak, TQ'ing both Pro4 Sc and Pro E-buggy. This would give him the overall TQ for both classes!
On Sunday Henn would go to take the A1 and A2 win in Pro4 to secure the overall win giving him the RC Pro Series Championship in Pro 4 SC! Brian chose the Tekin Rx8 Gen2 esc and Pro4 HD 4300kv motor to power his TLR Ten Scte 2.0 to the title.
In A1 for Pro E-buggy it would be much different. A 5 way battle for the win between Henn, AE's Jake Dellinger and Tekin teammate David Joor, TLR's Josh Glancy and local Jeremy Cupps. At the end of A1 it would be Joor taking the win with Glancy 2nd, Dellinger 3rd and Henn 4th. A2 was much the same, A heated battle with Dellinger taking the win, Henn 2nd ,Glancy 3rd. A3 was another exciting main. Henn had the lead for over half the race but a few traction roll's cost him the A3 win. A3 was won by Dellinger with Joor taking 2nd, Glancy 3rd and Henn 4th. This would put Joor 2nd and Henn 4th overall in Pro E-Buggy.
David Joor and Brian Henn both chose the Tekin Rx8 Gen2 esc and Tekin Gen2 1900 T8 motor to wrap up the series.

Back when I worked in the fitness industry in England during the 1990's I decided to hold a charity event, a step-a-thon. 5 hours of sponsored step for the Starlight Foundation. I coordinated with the managers at Queen St Leisure Center in Derby, and they gave me the downstairs function room to hold the charity event. And so I marketed my event, got lots of sign ups then set about planning the details. It was a lot of work but very enjoyable! Each participant got a certificate for completing the event and a t-shirt =)
It's awful that looking back now I cannot even remember the year, let alone the month! I wasn't as good at documenting stuff as I am now and this was the days before blogs (yeah there was such a time, weird to think now huh?). For the timeline I would estimate this at around 1998 -1999. I did the whole 5 hours with a knee support on my left leg as I was having lots of body wear & tear issues during this time, but that's another post for another day!
As I recall there were approximately 20 of us signed up for the event, including my mother! She didn't do the whole event due to health problems but we planned on her doing 3 hours I think, and I remember she completed the whole thing! Go Mom! Many of these girls were class members of mine from Queen St Leisure Center, Springwood Leisure Center and Lady In Leisure all in Derby, UK.
It's funny to look at the photo's of me during this time. This was at my career peak. I was teaching 22 classes a week plus I had a few personal training clients also. Looking at these photo's though and looking at me NOW over 10 years later, I look MUCH better now. Sure I'm not teaching as much but I work out a lot still. The difference is that I don't go crazy EVERY class! I TEACH & I INSTRUCT and I have a better diet. Again all things for another post another day!
In every class, and usually always in step. there is one gal going the wrong way. I love how this gal got caught on camera but totally didn't care! To me this is fitness classes. Just ENJOY it! No-one cares if you go the wrong way, or are out of step. Just enjoy it, have fun and feel successful! Life is way too short to get caught up in the synchronized step classes mentality.
Have you done any charity fitness events?
Step-a-thon? Sponsored event? Ran a marathon for charity?
