Balbriggan (/bælˈbrɪɡən/; Irish: Baile Brigín) is a town in the northern part of Fingal, Ireland. The 2016 census population was 21,722 for Balbriggan and its environs.[1]
According to P.W. Joyce, the name arises from Baile Breacain [sic], which literally means "Brecan's Town".[2] Brecan is a common medieval first name and there are several other Brackenstowns in Ireland. There is also a possible link to the local Bracken River, in which case the name could derive from breicín, meaning "little trout".

Are you considering giving your home or business a new look? Do you need to repaint after a tenant has vacated your own property? Do you have to fix water stains on ceilings and walls or over walls in which mould has been eliminated? It could be tempting to do the job yourself, which may lead to cost savings. But, there are lots of reasons you should consider hiring a professional painter and decorator service.
Prices of Equipment
Employing a professional painter and decorator means that the painter comes with of the tools that they will need to do the work properly, will wash up those tools whenever they're done and will take them away to be stored elsewhere.
Protection of Your Property and Preventing a Mess
A professional painter and decorator will have the right gear and be knowledgeable and experienced with the way to protect furniture, floors, cabinets, walkways and other things that you don't need painted from any harm. If your job entails staining, a professional will have the right equipment and expertise to use the stain properly to achieve the perfect finish and once achieved, shield the finish.
A professional painter may also completely clean up the work area when the job is finished.
Planning is Essential
A professional painter and painter is going to learn that preparation is the trick to a good looking, long lasting paint job. Areas with water or mold staining may require additional treatment and diluting until they are ready for a final paint job. It's a good deal of work and if it is not done correctly with proper instruments and methods, it won't lead to a quality finish.
Skills and Patience
Painting takes patience to produce a gorgeous excellent finish and in addition, it takes skill that's developed with practice and expertise. A professional will learn how to complete all their preparation and painting jobs required to reach the best effect.
In Dublin, there are a number of choices that a professional painter and decorator may start to you, which you could not have the skills or expertise to do yourself, including special finishes (intumescent finishes (which are fireproof), faux finishes and textured painting, for instance ).
A professional painter may also know the materials which are required to do the job right. Which primer will offer the correct coverage? Oil or latex? Matte, semi-gloss, high gloss? Which primer base is required? What paint base? Spray or roller?
A professional painter will be able to recommend materials that are best to get the look you want, while preventing any damage to your surfaces. With that advice, you can attain a greater quality finish that will last.
For exterior jobs, a professional will know the right weather, temperature and sunlight conditions to finish the job with all the best outcomes. Stains react differently in direct sunlight than when it is overcast, and at different temperatures. While rain obviously impacts the job, heat and humidity can also affect the quality of outside paint finishes. A local expert painter will understand the right materials to use to make your exterior last as long as possible in Dublin's climate.
Increasing on ladders while attempting to apply paint correctly is a skilled job which takes careful focus and attention to avoid severe harm and damage. The higher the site that needs painting, the higher the danger of an crash. For interior projects with high areas or outside jobs, an expert painter will have all the resources and expertise required to do the work safely and correctly, including the proper size and design of the ladder and scaffolding.
Your time is precious and painting yourself takes a significant amount of time. Using a professional painter and decorator take care of the job for you can save you days and days of work, and can normally be done in a far shorter period of time.
A study from Trinity College Dublin indicates that the average Irish person requires 28 hours per day to accomplish all his or her tasks. Prevent including a paint job to that and speak to a professional painter about your requirements.

As if I didn't have enough to keep me up at night, I found out earlier this week that we are all going to die 'Deep Impact' style in 2036. Turns out a massive asteroid is going to whiz by in 2029 to taut us, only to swing back and possibly land right on top of us. I'm deadly serious.
So in addition to my nocturnal obsession with earthquakes, tsunamis, nuclear war and an especially virulent strain of the flu, I now have an actual date on which to fixate. But something is bothering me more than the actual impact of asteroid to earth. I can always hoard pills with which to end it all if it comes to that, after the dust cloud covers the Sun leading to an ice

Physiology is the study of life and how living cells and tissues function, enabling organisms to live and interact with their environment. Physiologists answer key questions ranging from the workings inside single cells to the interactions between human populations and our environment on earth and beyond. Physiology plays a crucial role in integrating environmental influences and new molecular discoveries with the function of tissues and organs, and ultimately the whole body.
Our graduate programs provide advanced studies and research in major fields:
- comparative respiratory and cardiovascular physiology
- neurophysiology (electrophysiology, cellular imaging in neurons and glial cells, in vitro and in vivo studies of cerebral ischemia)
- vascular function, ion channels and endogenous gases
- calcium channels and neuroendocrine secretion
- hemoxygenase system

Bowling Ball Reviews: Top 5 New Bowling Ball Releases
1. Hammer Black Widow Bowling Ball Review
Other Hammer Upper Mid Performance Bowling Balls
The Hammer Black Widow Black/Gold bowling balls are made using high-quality hybrid coverstock materials and combined with an angular core in Gas mask provide long lasting life. The bowling balls gives you the much-needed powerful backend motion even in oily lanes.
Infused with carbon fiber, the balls offer you with added grip and support. The main reason Hammer bowling balls are alloyed with Carbon fiber is to give the balls the needed durability and strength.
Even though the Black Widow Black/Gold uses the same formula used in Rip'D, one thing missing with the Black Widow Gold is the CFI additive. These balls are not delivered with drilled holes to allow you to drill it to meet your own requirements.
Even though it is considered to be a great medium oil ball, with a few adjustments in the surface you can certainly turn into one of the top bowling balls in heavily oiled lanes too.
The ball seems to read the mid-lanes pretty much well and easily tugs straight towards the pins.

Brunswick bowling has come up with another successful product in the Quantum Bias bowling ball. Made using high-density and top of the line Asymmetric cores featuring the Quantum Mushroom High RG.

People looking for great hitting power can go for the Quantum Bias bowling balls as the ball comes with a unique design so that to ensure the gross weight of the ball and the hook potential is compensated accordingly.
The Quantum bias utilizes the trademark Brunswick ECA-XR coverstock method to give the ball the added durability. And the Quantum bias is one of the first asymmetric core models from Brunswick.
Not only the all-white outlook gives the ball a great look but also gives you with added hooking potential, thanks to the white pigment present in the ball.

The all-new Turmoil Solid from DV8 is a clear winner as it provides great performance in every kind of lane and like the Turmoil Pearl, it comes with the same kind of symmetrical weight block. Made using composite-solid coverstock, the Turmoil Solid gathers speed much quicker than the Turmoil Pearl.
The motion is comparatively smooth and the 500/4000 box finish is certainly the best bowling ball that we tested in heavily oiled lanes. It also showed much better performance on medium lane conditions too.
If you are looking for a continuous and strong roll down the lane, then you can go for this Turmoil solid bowling ball from DV8. The reason many prefer to get this ball is because of its high percentage of predictability.
Much like the Turmoil Pearl, the solid version also gives you good mid-lane roll along with good movement off the spot. You can expect stronger reaction from the ball when you have the drills just a pin up over the ring-finger layout.
And another interesting aspect about the Turmoil Solid comes with vibrant colours and it looks really cool when the ball rolls down the lane. The ball also provides great performance even on oily lanes too.

Buying Guide: How to Choose Best Bowling Ball
Knowing how to choose the proper bowling ball will dramatically boost your performance and consistency. With so many sizes and configurations, shopping can rack your brains if you're a beginner. Wise buyers kill two birds with one stone by gleaning the facts from a rich vein of information online.
This guide gets down to the nuts and bolts on narrowing down an ideal product for personal use. The cross-cutting factors that determine the right product include weight, coverstock, and hook potential. In the awake of revolutionary polymer science, leaders in the industry have attained versatility and dynamic properties.
How to Choose the Right Bowling Ball. Important Moments:
1. Weight
An overly heavy or light ball casts a pall over your performance with severe strain on your arm swing. A perfect fit allows you to take on an extra pound or two in weight.
2. Cover Stocks
The coverstock also dictates suitable lane conditions including dry, medium-heavy, or light oil. A stiff or pearl outer shell will slide smoothly in the front end of the alley. A solid traction-generating surface increases the gripping action.
3. Core or Weight Block
Cores or weight blocks come in different shapes and configurations for varying hook potential. Highly sophisticated cores call for an advanced level of expertise to counter and control the unique weight block.
Best bowling ball for a beginner who is seeking to test the waters, the pancake-shaped weight blocks will help to sharpen the control before transiting to hooks and other approaches.
Symmetrical cores offer a higher or medium hook potential
Asymmetrical cores generate different effects on motion
4. Ball Drilling: Custom or Pre-Drilled
You can go for a pre-drilled product or draw your horns in by buying a house ball. They come in multiple sizes based on the weight of the equipment.
Products fine-tuned for your hand render more control and diminish fatigue or injury. Brand new and un-drilled products mean you can have your hand measured and corresponding pitches engraved in a pro shop.
Some stores offer custom drilling free if you add an item to your cart. And a custom drilling fee will not empty your wallet making it worthwhile.
5. Radius of Gyration & Flare Potential
Radius of gyration (RG) refers to a factor engineered in the core production phase and influences how rapidly a ball acquires its strongest rolling pattern. Manufacturers include the RG rating for their high-end lineup.
6. Surface Finish
There are a broad array of surface finishes. Broadly speaking, the surfaces branch off as either sanded or polished. This broad umbrella of classification has a plethora of finishing procedures like polish or compound types, and grit steps.
Some balls allow you to modify the surface to correspond to the tournaments and lane conditions.
7. Oil Absorption Rate
Modern bowling balls sop up oil into the outer shell surface slowly. Reactive resin outer shells have a higher porosity which sucks up liquids than their plastic counterparts. Cover stocks with a high oil absorption rate render more aggression on-lane.
Experts suggest oil absorption rate is inextricably linked to friction. Thus, higher ratings come from products that generate a lot of traction on-lane. However, the friction generated also depends on surface hardness.
Ask the pro shop operator to undertake the tests as it throws light on how it will perform on the alley.
Experimenting gives you a fresh pair of eyes as hook reactivity depends on latent properties. Look at the next video, to get a clear understanding of a few things that we mentioned here.

Highlights / General details
This fair first began 20 years ago in the area where the old slaughterhouses of the city were located. Today it is the meeting point for people from the interior of the country who are deeply rooted to the customs of their provinces and for those living in this city and likes to be surrounded by handcrafts, typical foods, folkloric music and dance. In 1991 this neighborhood was declared as "Neighborhood of the Argentinean Gaucho".

The tour begins around midday at your hotel and we drive to the fair. There you will have some free time to visit the old archway of the market and then we will visit the "Museo Criollo de los Corrales". This museum has many rural objects and will give us an idea of how gauchos lived in the pampas through clothing, tools and everyday objects. It will also show us how in Argentina the stockbreeding industry started to develop, from the period when Indians ruled the pampas until Argentina became one of the main exporters and a world leader in meats. We'll see weapons, knives, carriages, animals, paintings and even the famous "quincho" or "ranch", the meeting point for the countryside meals. Later we'll go to lunch at the fair stalls.
We will taste some typical foods such as tamales (ground meat with spices boiled into a corn leaf), humita en chala (similar to the tamales but instead of meat, ground corn with cheese), locro (a typical Argentinean stew) and the world-famous empanadas. Everything served with a delicious wine. After lunch we will have more free time to visit the stalls where we will find apart from the handcrafts mentioned above, sweets, musical instruments, albums, clothes, accessories and objects for everyday use.
Another place to visit is the historical Oviedo Bar a place that used to be an old grocery store that supplied the slaughterhouse workers.

With new T-Levels on the way, Youth Ambassador Board Member Harvey Morton responds with the view that reducing young people's study options without youth consultation may not be the best approach to tackle a complex education landscape.
When you're moving through school into college, sixth form and apprenticeships, it becomes apparent quite quickly that the options seen as most 'academic' are usually the ones that are pushed – because, let's face it, it's all about those statistics and league tables.
For me, when I entered my GCSE years, teachers were always harping on about going to Sixth Form, and, how A-Levels were the most logical next step if you wanted to forge a successful career and go on to university. In hindsight, A-levels were not a suitable choice for me. I really struggled, despite getting GCSE grades all A*-C. However, I chose to go to Sixth Form because it was the option I knew most about. Anything else that wasn't A-levels got quietly pushed aside and overlooked by my school. It probably didn't help that they were trying to boost figures for their own sixth form provision.
My A-Level teachers got me through sixth form. If it weren't for them, I'd have quit without hesitation. I did reasonably well at A-Level and got into Sheffield Hallam University to study Business and Enterprise Management which I was thrilled about; however, I quickly realised that very few people on my course had been to sixth form to earn their place. Many had come from BTEC backgrounds, and, to further rub salt into my sixth form wounds, they were entitled to high achievers bursaries for getting the equivalent of all A and B grades at A-Level/College before coming to university. This didn't feel fair, because these grades just weren't achievable at A-Level, but in BTEC, it's slightly different – you have more chances to prove yourself.
I've always been a practical learner. Sixth form didn't prepare me for university. If I'd taken the BTEC route, I would have had a much easier start.
I've always been a practical learner, but I only realised this after spending a few years at university. At GCSEs and sixth form, you're only really allowed to learn from the textbook. The truth is, my experience at sixth form didn't prepare me for university. I'd never had to juggle various coursework deadlines and carry out practical assignments previously, and I spent my first year at university muddling through and barely keeping my head above the water. Of course, if I'd taken the BTEC route, I would have had a much easier start at university.
I've realised it's not just me that found myself in this situation. It is, in fact, the case for most students leaving school at GCSE level and sixth formers looking to move on to the next stages of their career too. So why is this happening?
Is the best solution to a complex education landscape really to significantly reduce options for young people? I don't think so.
Well, the Department for Education (DfE) recently carried out a review into post-16 qualifications at level 3 and below in England, and they feel the current landscape is complex, with over 12,1000 qualifications available for students aged 16-19 and adults too. They also argued that 42% of these qualifications had no funded enrolments in 2015-17 and 2016-17, but does that mean the options available to young people should be significantly reduced? I don't think so.
The Department for Education argues that by simplifying the qualifications landscape, all qualifications which are available to young people will have clear links to further study and employment. They propose that by implementing T Levels from September 2020, students will gain high-quality technical alternatives to A Levels, combining classroom theory, practical learning and an industry placement – of at least 315 hours, or approximately 45 days – where students will build the knowledge and skills they need in a workplace environment.
The reality is that this proposed 'one size fits all' approach won't work.
We'd have T-Levels and A-Levels, but what about all the young people and adults who don't want to take this route? And what about those who don't have the qualifications and experience even to have the privilege of this choice?
DfE says that their review into post-16 qualifications will ensure that all disadvantaged students and those with special needs will experience positive effects from these new qualifications, but is this really a promise they can make? Many post-16 options and those options available below level 3 are already inaccessible to disadvantaged students because institutions are understaffed and underfunded, so, why do DfE suddenly think that the introduction of new options for young people will swiftly combat this issue? It's okay to carry out a review, but with a bold statement made like this, how can DfE assure that their new options fulfil the needs of all young people? I feel the introduction of T-levels would have quite the opposite effect.
Employers are already stretched, and the purpose of introducing T-levels is supposed to be to refine the current offering and ensure good progression for young people, but how are placements going to be available for those in rural areas and weak public transport links, which would make getting to the placement very expensive for any young person for a start? I'm all for creating new qualifications and ensuring a high-quality is met across all provisions; however, it would be a challenge for the government to provide a high standard of teaching when the rollout of these new T-levels is going to be so large. T-levels are only going to be successful if they are accessible and seen as a credible vocational route.
Currently, employers have little understanding of all the qualifications which young people are coming to them with. That's understandable, because there are so many. However, will employers really be willing to offer the massive commitment of work placement hours necessary? And how much of this will be quality training?
The Government should consult with young people before implementing new qualifications.
Rather than rushing the creation of T-levels, I feel it would be much more reasonable for the government to consult with young people themselves, and ensure they meet the range of needs and aspirations amongst those in education today.
Our education system doesn't have an excellent reputation for supporting and enabling young people to make their own choices, and that needs to change. Fast.
We should be enabling progression through different routes, rather than requiring young people to commit themselves to one career route before they are ready. Many students are more suited to vocational pathways rather than university. Through the introduction of T-levels, I'm worried the education system will be even more inaccessible for so many young people.
The government shouldn't be excluding young people. They should be striving for inclusion.

The leader of the Civic Democrats, Mirek Topolánek, has apologised to homosexuals and Jews after making controversial remarks about two members of the government in an interview for the gay magazine Lui. When asked for adjectives he would use to describe gays, Mr Topolánek said he had the feeling that Transport Minister Gustáv Slamečka would "back away" if the going got really tough. He said Prime Minister Jan Fischer was simply a Jew and would do same thing even sooner. The chairman of the country's biggest right-wing party said he had contacted both men to explain his comments. Mr Topolánek also apologised to Christians, after saying during a photo shoot for Lui that the Church had brainwashed people and made idiots of the masses.
Prime Minister Jan Fischer has reacted angrily to the comments made by the leader of the Civic Democrats. In a statement issued on Sunday, he said they were, "put diplomatically, insulting, stupid and devious". Mr Fischer said he would in future keep contact with Mr Topolánek to the minimum required to maintain a working relationship; he said he was aware of Mr Topolánek's apology, but said it was not up to him to either judge the latter or grant him absolution.
Britain's Prince Charles has attended a service at a Prague church on the second day of a four-day visit to the Czech Republic. Sunday's service at St Clement's Church, one of the oldest in the city, was conducted in English. Later the prince and his wife Camilla walked through the historic centre of the Czech capital. On Monday the royal couple will fly to Moravia where they will visit an eco-village and Brno's Masaryk University, as well as meeting the Czech prime minister, Jan Fischer, in the capital. The heir to the British throne will end his stay on Tuesday with a meeting with former Czech president Václav Havel and a visit to Prague's English College secondary school.
The chairman of the Social Democrats says if his party wins upcoming general elections, their preferred option would be a coalition with centrists, with a minority cabinet supported by the Communists another alternative. Jiří Paroubek made the comments on a TV debate programme on Sunday. He said he did not envisage forming a coalition with the Communist Party, who have never been in government since 1989's Velvet Revolution. Their leader Vojtěch Filip said he expected the Social Democrats to enter a coalition with the right-of-centre Civic Democrats after the elections, which will take place on the last weekend of May.
Czech soldiers will be able to vote in general elections at a military base abroad for the first time this May, Czech Television reported. Troops based in the Afghan province of Logar will be able to cast their ballots at a temporary consulate which is being opened there by the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the start of next month. Czech Television reported that the authorities in Afghanistan had already approved the move. Previously Czech soldiers abroad could only vote if they managed to get to one of the country's embassies.
The minister of health, Dana Jurásková, has widened price regulation on medicines sold in the Czech Republic, meaning patients pay less for certain drugs. She said on a TV debate programme on Sunday that costs for both patients and insurers would fall by about 5 percent after 12 types of medicines became the subject of price regulation. Minister Jurásková also said that by April 1 the body which controls medicines in the Czech Republic would deliver a decision on price revisions that would affect thousands of drugs. She said the measures had been taken after it emerged that many patients had had to pay more for medicines from the start of the year.
The Czech speed skater Martina Sáblíková has crowned a fantastic season by becoming world champion for the sixth time with at a win at the World All-around Championship in Heerenveen in the Netherlands. Sáblíková took the title after victory in her best event the 5000 metres on Sunday. The 22-year-old has become a huge star in the Czech Republic since winning two gold medals and one bronze medal at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver last month.
The Czech cross-country skier Lukáš Bauer came second overall in the World Cup after finishing ninth in the 15-kilometre freestyle in Sweden's Falun on Sunday. Bauer, who took two bronze medals at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, finished behind this season's most successful men's cross-country skier, Petter Northug of Norway. Bauer, who is 32, won the World Cup in 2008.
The owner of the Czech first division football club Bohemians Praha, Karel
Kapr, says players from Sigma Olomouc paid his team to throw a match at
end of last season in order to ensure the latter reached the qualifying
stages of the Europa League. Mr Kapr told the police that Olomouc
goalkeeper Petr Drobisz offered and later gave his players CZK 300,000
16,000) to deliberately lose. The police's anti-corruption unit have
launched an investigation into the matter.
In 2004 Czech football was rocked by the biggest scandal in its history, when widespread bribery and match-fixing was uncovered. Fourteen referees were punished, four clubs had points deducted and several officials were banned.
Hundreds of fans, most of the female, attended the launch of the German edition of a book about Karel Gott at the Leipzig Book Fair on Sunday. The Czech singer, who is very popular in both Germany and Austria, signed copies of Karel Gott: The Golden Voice from Prague at the trade fair. He said he had personally made changes to the German translation of the book to make it more interesting to German readers.

Book of the Month - Native Art of the Northwest Coast: A History of Changing Ideas
What is art? What is 'Native Art'? What are the links between objects and knowledge? How does art affect politics in the Pacific Northwest? It is no wonder that the answers to these questions are indefinite, and varying depending on who you ask. And so, it is also not surprising that Native Art of the Northwest Coast: A History of Changing Ideas shares essays by various authors and (with index included), is a whopping 1081 pages.
Editors Charlotte Townsend-Gault, Jennifer Kramer, and Ḳi-ḳe-in include essays of their own as well. Though the size of the book is daunting, chapter titles such as ""Thresholds of Meaning: Voice, Time, and Epistemology in the Archaeological Consideration of Northwest Coast Art," or "Art Claims it eh Age of Delgamuukw" draw the prospective reader in.

Are you tired of your email inbox filling up with Black Friday / Cyber Monday emails? I am. I struggle with this season as consumerism is rampant. I do not suggest that you buy things you don't need, without carefully considering the time and space it will require in your life. However, I DO condone wanting until these weekend sales to make pending, premeditated purchases (like a sofa, new coffee table, instant pot, etc.). For example, I have been eyeing these boots since last winter. I finally purchased them. It was not an emotional, impulsive purchase. Rather, it was calculated. I waited until a great deal, and gave myself time to make sure they served a purpose.
CB2 has become one of my favorite sources. We are contemplating this marble coffee table for our new living room. I've always loved this shelf situation, and can't believe the price on this pendant (which is similar to our master bath light!)
West Elm's Cyber Monday sale actually seems better than their Black Friday sale. You all know we adore our old Andes sofa (full review here). This dresser is a contender for the new place. These dining chairs in our old home were a fan fav.
I am not, nor will ever be, a fashion blogger. I have a tiny wardrobe, and buy little. Today, I am simply sharing my "go-to's." These are all of my favorite things.
Here are out favorite "gadgets" - we have each one! These items are stress-reducing or time-saving. Great for gifting, too!

You've just created a new Volusion store, and the homepage is already coming together. It's time to send it to a friend for feedback! But what's that funny-looking address in the URL bar? And how do you get it to show the domain name you chose for your site? That's where DNS comes in. If you're not familiar with DNS, don't worry – this article will make everything clearer.
What is DNS?First off, let's walk through what DNS means. DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System, and its primary purpose is to map and redirect domain names to specific locations on the Internet, including your store. At its most basic level, DNS can be compared to the "Contacts" list in your phone. Rather than having to remember each contact's numerical phone number, you can select a nickname from your Contacts list and your phone will automatically dial the associated number. Your website has a numerical number associated with its location, too: it's called an IP (Internet Protocol) address, and it's even longer than the average phone number. Without DNS, we'd need to remember the numerical address for every website we wanted to visit.
In addition to assigning a domain name, you can use DNS for a variety of functions related to your Volusion store. Different DNS record types have unique mapping capabilities, such as pointing traffic to subdomains or routing email to a specific mail server. To use our earlier analogy, some of these functions are simply alternate ways of dialing the same number in your Contacts list.
5 Types of DNS RecordsLet's take a look at the five main types of DNS records you might use with your Volusion store:
Name ServersPointing name servers is the most common way to connect your domain name to your Volusion store. Keep in mind that you aren't required to transfer your domain name to Volusion when you purchase a Volusion store.
You can save yourself time and money by contacting the current domain registrar and getting their help in pointing your domain name to Volusion's name servers: NS3.VOLUSION.COM and NS4.VOLUSION.COM. If your registrar allows room for more than two name servers, you can add NS1.VOLUSION.COM and NS2.VOLUSION.COM as well, but it isn't necessary. If you purchased your domain name through Volusion, you don't need to make any changes.
Keep in mind that it can take 24 to 72 hours for your DNS changes to fully propagate across the internet, and different parts of the world may not register the change as soon as others do. One easy way to test whether the changes have propagated is to type your domain name into your browser's address bar. If it takes you to your store, the changes have propagated. Your domain name is now successfully connected to your Volusion store!
For more information on pointing your domain name to Volusion, see our knowledge base article on DNS Settings.
CNAME RecordA CNAME record is commonly used to establish a store on a "subdomain" of your main website. For example, if your main website is www.yourwebsite.com, you can create a subdomain called store.yourwebsite.com by adding a "store" CNAME record.
To create a CNAME record, log in to your domain registrar's DNS management area. Add a new DNS record and select "CNAME" as the record type. Enter your desired subdomain name (such as "store") and use your store's temporary URL as the host name. The format for your temporary URL is xxxxx.xxxxx.servertrust.com.
If Volusion is your registrar, log in to your MyVolusion account and click on "Manage DNS" under the "my Stores" heading. Click "Add New Record" at the bottom of the records list, then choose "CNAME" from the drop-down menu that appears. In the field to the left of "CNAME," type "store" or any other subdomain name you want to use for your store. In the two fields to the right of "CNAME," enter your store's temporary URL. The "xxxxx.xxxxx" portion goes in the first field and the "servertrust.com" portion goes in the second field.
A RecordYou can use an A record to either create a subdomain or point to a domain name. While CNAME records can point to a hostname or URL, an A record can only point to a numerical IP address. Since Volusion does not use static IP addresses, the IP address associated with your store can change periodically. For this reason, we strongly recommend against using A records to create subdomains for your store. If you use an A record to point your domain or create a subdomain, your store may become temporarily inaccessible without warning.
MX RecordsMX records, short for "mail exchanger" records, are responsible for specifying which email server accepts mail for your specific domain. When you point your name servers to Volusion, the MX records point to Volusion's mail servers by default. If you'd rather use a third party like GoDaddy or Gmail to host your domain-specific email (email addresses ending in @yourstore.com), you'll need to update the MX records from within your MyVolusion account.
To do so, log in to MyVolusion and click on "Manage DNS" under the "my Stores" heading. From this page, you can edit the current MX records to reflect the correct location for your email host. Be sure to point your name servers to Volusion before making this change, or you'll need to repeat the process after your DNS propagates. MX record updates can take anywhere from fifteen minutes to 24 hours to complete.

The Last Arado Ar-234 Blitz
The Last Arado Ar-234 Blitz
The last Arado Ar-234 Blitz (Lightning) in existence, Werke Nummer 140312, is on display at the Smithsonian's Udvar-Hazy Center in Dulles, Virginia. This aircraft served with KG 76 in 1945 until British troops captured it in Stavangar, Norway at the end of the war. It was one of 7 Ar-234s captured at Stavangar. Lieutenant-Commander Eric M. "Winkle" Brown and Hauptmann[i] Miersch flew the Ar-234s to England. On October 3 Miersch crashed an Ar-234 at Eelde, Holland and Brown made an emergency landing at Nordholz.[ii] The Museum's Blitz was one of 4 Ar-234s brought to the United States on the HMS Reaper.[iii] The U.S. Navy buried the two Ar-234s they received. Those aircraft were lost to the elements. The other Ar-234 the U.S. Army Air Forces received has also been lost. The Smithsonian's Ar-234 was given the Foreign Evaluation number FE-1010, which was later changed to T2-1010, and underwent testing at Freeman Field, Ohio. It was then given to the Smithsonian. It was initially stored at Park Ridge, Illinois. It was later sent to the National Air and Space Museum's Paul E. Garber Facility at Silver Hill, Maryland. The Smithsonian then restored the Ar-234 to mint condition. It was displayed for a time at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. It was on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center when it opened in December 2003.

Ar-234 Combat History
Oberleutnant[i] Erich Sommer flew the first Ar-234 combat mission on August 2, 1944. He flew 3 reconnaissance passes over the Allied beachheads at Normandy. During the first 2 weeks in August 2 Ar-234s flew 14 successful reconnaissance missions over the Allied positions in France.[ii] German piston engine aircraft were unable to fly daylight reconnaissance missions over Normandy because of the allied air-supremacy.
Hauptmann Diether Lukesch led 9 Ar-234s of 9/KG 76[iii] on the first Ar-234 bombing mission on December 24, 1944. A second mission that day involved 8 Ar-234s. The Ar-234s suffered no losses on these missions. One Ar-234 suffered minor damage when its undercarriage collapsed on landing. Allied fighters killed 85 piston engine pilots and wounded 21 others.[iv] The next day two Hawker Tempests of RAF No. 80 Squadron, piloted by Pilot Officer R. Verran and Wing Commander J.B. Wray attacked an Ar-234.[v] The pilot outran the Tempests but had to make a crash landing. It was one of 16 Ar-234 sorties that day and the unit's only loss on that day.[vi]
Hauptmann Diether Lukesch led 4 Ar-234s on the first Ar-234 night bombing mission on the early morning of January 1, 1945.[vii]
The most bomb tonnage dropped by Ar-234s on a single day was 18 tons. This happened on February 21, 1945. KG 76 flew 37 bombers sorties against British troops in the Clève area.[viii]
From March 7 – March 17 Ar-234s flew missions against the Remagen Bridge but caused little damage. Allied fighters shot down 6 Ar-234s and another Ar-234 killed its pilot in a crash-landing.[ix]
An Ar-234 flew a reconnaissance mission over Great Britain on April 10. It is believed to be the last Luftwaffe plane to fly over Great Britain during World War II.
Ar-234s flew a number of reconnaissance missions over Italy. On April 11 two 15th Air Force P-51s of the 52nd fighter group shot one down.[x]
The last Ar-234 lost in combat happened on May 2, 1945. Four Spitfire Mk. XIVBs of No. 350 Squadron attacked an Ar-234 which was in a landing pattern. The victorious pilots were Pilot Officer Watkins, Flight Lieutenant Bangerter, Flight Sergeant Kicq, and Flying Officer Van Eckhoudt.[xi]

Ar-234 Developments
The Ar-234 went through many design developments during its 10 months of combat operations. It flew its first combat missions with trolley mounted take-off wheels and landed on a skid. Me-163s used a similar arrangement. Production aircraft had a conventional landing gear. The Ar-234 has poor rear visibility. A periscope was added so the pilot could have a rear view. Some Ar-234s had a rear firing gun. There is no case where an Ar-234 shot down an opposing aircraft. A jet aircraft deficiency is their long take-off run. Two rockets, fitted on the museum's aircraft, enabled the Ar-234 to take off in a shorter distance. After takeoff the pilot would jettison the rockets. A parachute would take them down gently so they could be reused. The Ar-234 is displayed with these two rocket assists attached. A few Ar-234s had 4 engines. Ar-234-V6 had its 4 engines mounted separately all other Ar-234s with 4 engines had them mounted in pairs.

Hi, My name is Joseph and I recently check out the SP SD40-2 Olympic snowflake and installed it to Trainz A New Era's database to see what the difference is in between yours and mine was and discovered that I dont have the Front and rear bogies. I am requesting those dependencies so I can compare the two engines.
Thanks for the SP stuff!
mchawkman: can you please back-date your sugar beet gondolas and then make new ones for ts12? because i used to love running them behind my SP_or_bust B39's on my TS09 layout and my ts12 has been corrupt on account of canceling an update before finishing so i would LOVE it if you could. PS: the name of the loco was SUFFE ERN PACIFIC not sufferinpacific

No? Maybe I'm showing my age but that was very much how a lot of people thought of social media in its infancy. Now we struggle to go a day without updating our status, tweeting our thoughts in 140 characters or less or taking that perfect snap to post on Instagram.
Virtual tours are exactly the same.
Growing massively in popularity and becoming the most in demand form of visual marketing for businesses such as hotels, restaurants, bars and wedding venues. It will soon be the case that EVERY business with a physical presence (by that I mean a business that has a property – not just an online shop) will have one on their website.
So why are virtual tours becoming so important? Does your business need one? And what exactly does a virtual tour offer that a standard photo doesn't?
Scroll down to find my answers to those questions, plus many more![/cs_text][x_image type="none" src="http://venueview.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/download-1.jpg" alt="" link="false" href="#" title="" target="" info="none" info_place="top" info_trigger="hover" info_content=""][x_custom_headline level="h2″ looks_like="h3″ accent="false"]What Is A Virtual Tour?[/x_custom_headline][cs_text]Quite simply a virtual tour is a series of 360° photos stitched together to create a virtual walkthrough where the viewer feels they are in the property and can easily navigate around it.[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level="h2″ looks_like="h3″ accent="false"]Why Do I Need A Virtual Tour?[/x_custom_headline][cs_text]Website visitors now expect to see them, in fact, 67% of customers surveyed want to see more virtual tours. This is great news especially for hotels as customers who view a hotel with a virtual tour are twice as likely to book a reservation there. The truth is in this age of social media, customers want to interact and engage with businesses, they want to be immersed and amazed and still photographs – no matter how good, just do not convey the feeling of actually being there.
For venues, restaurants and hotels a virtual tour of your facilities is like having an extra salesperson on your team – one that works 24/7, never has time off and doesn't need to be paid![/cs_text][x_custom_headline level="h2″ looks_like="h3″ accent="false"]How Much Does A Virtual Tour Cost?[/x_custom_headline][cs_text]In my experience, virtual tours are far more affordable than many people think. However, there are no general 'standard' pricing meaning costs vary from virtual tour provider to virtual tour provider. The best thing is to do your research and get a clear understanding of what you're getting charged for and why.
Always find out:
- What is included in the fee?
- Are there any 'add-on' costs?
- Are travel expenses included?
- What are the hosting fees?
- Is Virtual Reality available and included in the price?
- Can changes be made?
- What happens is you're not happy with your virtual tour?
Then you'll need to assess the quality of work for each virtual tour company. It's important for you to experience each providers offering, so make sure you compare and contrast the features, benefits and manoeuvre yourself through their actual virtual tours to see how immersed you feel. This is the only way for you to be certain about the quality you will be paying for.
[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level="h2″ looks_like="h3″ accent="false"]What's The ROI For A Virtual Tour?[/x_custom_headline][cs_text]This is a hard question to answer as there are so many variables but the hotel group Radisson commissioned a study on the performance of virtual tours for their hotels and these were their findings:
• Hotels with a virtual tour achieved 135% increase in online revenue amounting to $7,200 per hotel per month over those without a virtual tour
• Average 2,000 views per month
• Radisson Aruba = Average 16,000 views per month
• Radisson Lexington New York = Average 9,000 views per month
• Radisson Edwardian Vanderbilt Hotel = Average 3,000 views per month
It's also worth pointing out that a virtual tour can be used for years, so the ROI is extremely elevated compared to other marketing techniques.
[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level="h2″ looks_like="h3″ accent="false"]Can Information And Website Links Be Added To A Virtual Tour?[/x_custom_headline][cs_text]
Virtual tours created using Matterport technology most definitely can – in fact, you can have limitless information and links added to specific points all around your venue. These are wonderfully useful at highlighting features, such as room capacity, newly refurbished areas or specialist equipment, or linking to special offers, promotions or even a new menu.
Adding relevant and useful information like this is a fantastic way of keeping visitors on your virtual tour (and therefore your website) for longer.
[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level="h2″ looks_like="h3″ accent="false"]How Do You Put A Virtual Tour On A Website?[/x_custom_headline][cs_text]
It's a lot like embedding a YouTube video and only takes seconds to do. Some virtual tour companies also provide a clickable URL that can be used on social media and in email marketing such as newsletters.
[/cs_text][x_custom_headline level="h2″ looks_like="h3″ accent="false"]Can All Virtual Tours Be Used On A Virtual Reality Headset?[/x_custom_headline][cs_text]
If you haven't experienced a tour on a VR headset then give it a go! It's like teleportation, being beamed straight into a property miles away (across the other side of the world in some cases) and it feels so real. It never fails to wow a customer when they can be totally immersed in another place at the touch of a button.

'Moving into Digital Signage - International Innovative Printer Case Study' is the title of the speech proposed by Alberto Masserdotti, CEO of the homonymous Group and President of FESPA Italia, during the busy program of conferences that filled the Trend Theatre of FESPA 2019. A look at the future of visual communication with a focus on the theme of digital transformation in retail and insights into the synergy between print and digital signage. All through a virtuous case history characterized by innovation and creativity: the one of Masserdotti Group. A speech that was made just a few months after the one with which the Italian entrepreneur aroused the praise of world leaders in the print world in the exclusive setting of the FESPA Global Summit 2019.
Pioneer of digital printing, for over 50 years the name Masserdotti has been synonymous with entrepreneurial spirit and a DNA oriented toward innovation. A success story that continues now with an even more ambitious chapter that, from the new positioning, goes through the total digitalization of the company for Industry 4.0, aiming for a business expansion in new markets. Currently, the Group operates internationally as an industrial technological partner for the creation of high value-added communication projects, both in the Digital Decoration field and in Digital Signage, Mobility, and IoT through the Dominodisplay brand. Supported by its partnership with Samsung, this division of the Masserdotti Group, established in 2009, specializes in the study, design, and creation of customized multimedia solutions, and operates via on and off-line channels. On one side dominodisplay.com, the e-shop of technological solutions for visual communication recently launched in France with a dedicated e-commerce; on the other, the Dominodisplay Enterprise Solutions Business Unit for the development of large turnkey projects commissioned by leading industrial, retail, and fashion brands with worldwide distribution such as Liu Jo, with 12 single-brand stores in Europe, and Canali with 40 installations coordinated by the proprietary software Palinsesto, from Milan to Hong Kong.

THE LEVANT – Abdel-Malek Al Houthi, the leader of the Houthi – Zaidi faction turned mainstream politics on the wake of Yemen 2011 uprising – has called on all Yemenis to organize large demonstrations calling for the immediate departure from power of Prime Minister Mohammed Salem Basindwa.
In a televised speech carried by the group's Al-Massira channel, Abdul-Malik Al Houthi gave President Abdo Rabbo Mansur Hadi until Friday to sack the coalition government.
Otherwise, he warned without elaborating, "escalatory options" would be considered.
The Zaidi leader accused Basindwa's government of "incompetence" and making "false" promises, urging members of the army and security forces to join the planned protests and not become "a tool in the hand of a tyrant."
The government, for its part, has yet to comment on Al-Houthi's comments.
It is important to note that Al Houthis has quite often and quite openly accused BAsindwa of being one of Al Ahmar's clan's pawn. Al Ahmar, one of Yemen most prominent tribal family have close ties to Al Islah, a Sunni radical faction which account within its ranks the Muslim Brotherhood.
Earlier the year, Abdel-Malek Al Houthi accused Al Islah of harbouring Al Qaeda elements within its ranks.
The invitation to demonstrate comes amid fierce clashes in the northern parts of the country between the group on one hand and the army and allied tribes on the other.

1) I can remember a particular conversation about deciding where to go out and eat. It seems this conversation goes in the same direction where the question of "Where do you want to eat?" is responded with "I don't know." Then, when the suggestion of a restaurant is mention it is usually responded with a "no." To make this conversation, go better I think it would be best if the sender gives only options of certain restaurants or food type. For example, "I would like Chinese or Italian, which do you prefer?" can hopefully be responded with their own choice. I think this kind of dialog gives better feedback for both the sender and receiver because the sender gives the receiver a less ambiguous question. The unambiguous question can help the receiver decide.
2) I just recently read an article about a person's view on the news media about Sarah Palin's speech. He finds it ridiculous the praise their giving her when in fact the things she said were quite hypocritical. By reading this, I felt he was saying how the news media is foolish. Also, he is indirectly calling Palin a liar. As of addressing the community, he is sending a message to not to trust everything we hear.
3) When person is labeled either a professor, AIDS activist, politician, CEO, lawyer, or doctor there is certain authority and trust already given to these labels. These kinds of labels allow them to have an influence on people. We associate these labels with people who are more knowledgeable so whatever they say we can assume is right. This can be very liberating to them that there communication is received. However, if anyone who holds one of these labels does anything wrong there word is no longer accepted and the trust is lost.
