Recently I have tried to move into the realm of test coaching. It's an interesting field. Mostly cause nobody seems to have heard of the role.
I have had phone calls with recruiters looking for QA folk. They get in touch via LinkedIn mostly, and only one has ever asked me what a test coach was. I find it interesting that the people in charge of hiring QA's don't know what a test coach is, let alone does.
What I think most moving into the coach role do is just become a coach out of necessity. For example you are the only QA in the company, or there are not enough testers for the amount of work developers are churning out. So QA folk help teams to use collaborative techniques such as BDD and WIP limits. This of course introduces cool side effects like slack time, which testers can use to teach developers fun testing. I don't just mean manually running through acceptance criteria or test cases (these can with help of the developers, be automated). I mean fun techniques like exploratory testing, which can be a very rewarding activity.
Once the developers understand HOW we test, they can easily sub in for an over worked QA. This then frees up the QA to get into a more coaching role. If you are the only QA in a company, or maybe one of very few over multiple teams, you can start helping other teams. Get one team working well together and testing upfront, devs testing other devs work. This means you can jump team and do it again. To me this is the role of a test coach. Someone who can teach others to test and once done, they can leave the team to work without them.
OK so what happens if your company has too many QAs? Maybe there is a tester per developer. On paper this looks AWESOME, right? But what can happen is the wall between dev and test remains, and in fact is harder to smash as developers can think it doesn't matter how fast I get through work, there are LOADS of testers. But in reality even with more people trying to find problems, nothing beats helping to stop them from being started. So how can a coach help here? Well, the role of QA is quite quickly becoming, automation engineer. Which is cool, but in my opinion if you are writing code, you are a developer! A coach can enable automation engineers to become developers. They can do this using the above techniques and encouraging pairing.
I don't understand the point of having some folk writing test code, and others writing production code. Surely coding is coding, and if paired up with devs, testers can become devs quite quickly. So now we have not just a multifunctional team, but multifunctional people.
Doing this you may hear something to this effect, "testers and developers are DIFFERENT people, they THINK different, testers will NEVER be able to code, and developers will NEVER want to test". I believe this to be totally untrue.
In fact most software testers have a computer science degree and did not have a clue what a QA was until one day they got a job as one. When you do hear something like that, just ask to trial paring for a few weeks, and see if the team learn anything. What I have found enabling pairing, is a happier team. Yes, you get greater quality, but you also get testers who thrive as developers, and stop feeling like second class citizens to the teams developers.
Once you have coached your way through the teams, what next? You can start looking for waste in other places. Maybe security reviews are taking too long, or releases are difficult. Can you as a test coach help there? Of course you can.
This is what test coaching means to me, but it seems to be quite a new concept in terms of companies. What does it mean to you? How can we help more companies to see the value of a coach, and not just a box ticking QA?

300 Years of History Heats Up 'Time and Again'
By David Steinberg
Journal Staff Writer
The Albuquerque Tricentennial's official opera "Time and Again Barelas" premieres this week in the 'hood the very neighborhood of its title.
The premiere will be at the National Hispanic Cultural Center on Thursday. It also will be staged the next two evenings at the University of New Mexico's Popejoy Hall.
But the story of Miguel del Aguila's opera is not a factual history of the blue-collar neighborhood of Barelas, though it contains many familiar historical local settings.
"Those people who expect we will narrate the history of Barelas will be disappointed. It's no more historical than 'Carmen,' " said Guillermo Figueroa, the music director of the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra.
"And it doesn't portray a rose-colored 300 years," added del Aguila, who composed the music and some of the libretto for the opera.
"Look at 'Carmen.' It's exotic. You can write nice dances. I don't want to do that here. Yes, the music will be exotic to many people. But to me, Barelas is pretty much its difficult history, a very turbulent history."
In his sweeping opera, del Aguila made the couple of Marcelina and Ignacio embody the struggle of New Mexicans through the centuries.
In the opera's first scene, the time is 1680 and in a skirmish, Indians and Barelas residents, including Marcelina Barela's father, die. The attackers also kidnap Marcelina.
If he were historically accurate, del Aguila said, he would show that Marcelina's boyfriend, also an Indian, rescues her. A few months later they marry and live happily ever after.
"But that's not the stuff of a dramatic opera. So I made the massacre perpetrated by the conquistadors, including the character of Ignacio.
"The entire problem is symbolized and exaggerated in (Marcelina and Ignacio). They end up as totally opposite characters," del Aguila explained. "This man has killed her father. How far apart can they be? At the end they forgive each other."
There's also a curse by an Indian shaman that condemns Ignacio to have a heart of stone. By the final curtain, the curse is lifted when Marcelina and Ignacio forgive each other after having fallen in love time and again over the centuries.
Tenor Rafael Dávila is Ignacio and mezzo-soprano Gabriela Garcia sings Marcelina.
In a recent rehearsal with Garcia, del Aguila was at the piano. During a break, he said Garcia is so extraordinary because she memorized her part before she arrived in Albuquerque from her home in New York City.
So Garcia's main job here is to learn the staging, he said.
Not just that, Garcia added. Because "Time and Again Barelas" is a modern opera, she as a singer "will have to listen to the orchestra to get the feel of what you do vocally."
Figueroa described the opera's music as "very Latin but not necessarily Latin in a New Mexican sense. ... There's tango, Caribbean sounds and that works very well."
Dávila said his character begins as a villain and becomes a hero. As a singer and actor, he finds the experience interesting to make this transition.
How del Aguila came to receive the commission to write a musical work is its own story.
Figueroa said the NMSO, the National Hispanic Cultural Center Foundation and the Downtown Action Team had the idea for a musical work for the Tricentennial. They were also the prime movers in organizing the effort, he said.
Figueroa said he suggested that the NMSO commission a work, but he didn't know what form the work should take or who should write it.
"We asked a lot of people, advertised, sent out letters," he said. "We knew we wanted a Hispanic composer, ideally a New Mexican composer, but no one fit the bill."
Then, Figueroa said, he and NMSO executive director Kevin Hagen weeded out résumés and interviewed candidates. Del Aguila was picked from among five finalists.
Figueroa suggested ideas that he wanted in the work.
"He said, 'Wait a minute. It sounds like you're putting all these restrictions. If you hire me, I write what I want to write,' " Figueroa recalled.
"I said, 'That's what I want. A true composer who writes what he wants. That's what the great composers did. To put a subject or style restriction would be stupid."
Del Aguila was given carte blanche but he didn't know what form the work would take.
During the time del Aguila was carving out a synopsis, Figueroa remembered the composer telling him, "I don't know what to call this. But it's turning into an opera.' There was great debate in the (NMSO) office what to call it."
The only restriction placed on the Los Angeles-based del Aguila was that he had to spend 18 months living in Albuquerque to familiarize himself with the community.
"How that experience made its way into the music is up to him," said Figueroa.
Del Aguila's first trip to Albuquerque was in the fall of 2004 after writing a tentative synopsis and informing himself of the city's history. While here he asked people of many ethnicities all over the city what they think a musical work for the Tricentennial should be about and should say.
"What I slowly started figuring out was that the responses were pretty much along lines of ethnic background," del Aguila said.
"One thing that really became evident at the beginning was that I wasn't going to please everybody. There are always people leaving a performance where their history is not told."
Del Aguila concluded that the facts of New Mexico's history really depend on who's interpreting them.

Luna is happy to release the new "X" controller for the Sur Ron in limited quantities, Sur ron has been working on this controller for several months. Luna has helped them with final tune and adjustments.
Sine wave controllers are the latest in brushless motor controllers which smooth out many of the rough edges of the old school "square wave" controllers, resulting in 30% less noise compared to the stock controller!
The next big difference is that you will notice is much smoother throttle response off the line. Sine Wave controllers are digitally controlled and programmed, resulting in a much smoother and more predictable power curve throughout the entire range of operation.
In addition to the improvements in driving mannerisms, this controller outputs approximately 20% more torque.
In real world testing we saw a ~10% increase in top speed.
This controller has regen coasting which comes on when coasting at speeds of over 8mph. Regen braking puts charge back into your battery and most importantly preserves your brake pads.
You can also turn Regen off by hitting the "eco" switch whenever coasting and you will roll naturally without any regen resistance. This means you can coast like a bike when you want to.
For a comparison to stock controller covering lower noise and regen coasting see the video below
Reintroducing the X Controller trade-in program, brought back by popular demand! Once you get your new X controller installed feel free to contact firstname.lastname@example.com to trade in the original for a $179 store credit that can be applied on any future order! (Note: only applies to original buyers of the MX bike, and only if you bought the bike from Luna)
This is a very easy install, the connectors are plug and play with your old connectors. Watch this video for more info on installation:
Support notes: This controller is only compatible with the newer motor (post feb 2018), if you are unsure locate the while label on the motor and if the model number is P/N: 11100-YQ2A-0100 then it' not compatible with this motor. you will have to change the motor to the new version
Amazing. Change is immediately noticeable.
Definitely worth it.
is that x controller working with stock motor ?
and how much cost for shiping to indonesia ?

10 Warning signs that it is time to change your life
Dedication and perseverance are important characteristics. Plenty has been written about the need to persevere when times get hard. It is equally important to know when there are things in your life that are holding you back and when it is time to stop doing things that are impeding your progress.
Here are some warning signs that things in your life need changing.
If you spend all your time looking back at the past you need some change.
Your past may have made you who you are but it does not need to define your future. If you spend more time looking back at the things in your past than looking forward to the future you are headed in the wrong direction.
Periodically you need to take another look at the past. What mistakes have you made and what can you learn from those mistakes. Keep these looks back as brief as possible. Develop a plan to move forward and get started. The sooner the better.
If you think that your happiness lies only in the future.
Do not wait for something or someone to begin being happy. Happiness occurs in the present. If you are not happy in the journey you will arrive at the future with nothing but regrets. Any unhappy now creates an unhappy future even if you reach the destination you are working towards.
Enjoy the trip for its own Sake and the result will take care of its self.
If you are full of anger you need to change.
Anger is a poison that destroys you from the inside out. Change what you can. Accept what you can't and clear out those angry feelings as soon as possible. The heat of anger can burn you.
If you are full of anger, you need to change you. Demanding that someone or something else change will keep your stuck. Blame others and you avoid the only real solution, changing you.
You can't remember being happy – life is no fun it is time to change.
If nothing makes you happy, if life is just no fun anymore, you need to change something. This may be a disease called Major Depressive Disorder. That disease needs professional treatment.
But if the case of your life of "no fun" is you, learn to lighten up. Let yourself have fun. Life was not designed to be all pain and drudgery. You have to go through some things but do not volunteer to be the victim. Work on creating the best possible situation in the place you find yourself.
Look for ways to make your life more fun. The little moments of joy add up to a happy life.
When you have to hide your real self from others you need change.
If you are hiding who you are, particularly if you do this because you need others to like you, this is a bad sign. If you are not who you want to be, work on changing that. If the problem is that others will never approve of you, then it is time to change friends, change jobs or change any other situations that are keeping you from being your fully authentic self.
When you feel you need to change others it is you that needs to change.
Trying to change others is a difficult proposition. You can create the right conditions to encourage others to grow but if you start to feel that your prime objective is to change others, take another look at yourself. Learn to accept others as they are or get as many of these people out of your life as you can and do it sooner not later.
Consistently feeling you need to change others in your life should tell you that you are living a conflicted life. Accept others or change your situation.
You protect others from themselves and the consequences of their actions.
If you are trying to protect others from themselves you are living someone else's life. You need to stop doing that. Let others bear the consequences of their actions. Being over-involved in others lives is called codependency and this is a second-hand life. Let others solve their problems and you solve yours.
When nothing interests you anymore change is indicated.
Loss of pleasure, not being able to enjoy things you used to enjoy is a symptom of the depressive disorders. If nothing is fun anymore you need to change that.
Look at the things you used to like to do. Have you stopped enjoying them? Why? Is it you being the kind of person you would like or is it the people you are around?
Look for new interests, try to put the fun back in your life. Be open to new activities and new hobbies. Go place you have not been. Take a new route to work. Eat something new. Meet new friends.
If life is boring you need to make some changes.
When you live in constant emotional pain please change.
Pain circuits, especially the emotional ones, were not designed for constant pain. if you are never out of pain look for new positive solutions. Find new ways of looking at things. Let go of anything causing you pain.
Learn to be mindful and enjoy the positive things in your life. A good, mental attitude and learning to live mindfully and in the moment can reduce both physical and emotional pain.
You are settling for less of a life than you could have.
If you are settling for less of a life than you could have – why? Look for ways to improve your situation. Design a new happy life and move towards that joy-filled life. Life can get better if you just get willing to move out of the place where you are stuck and start living again.
Is now a time for you to change?

Shipping An important part of running your online shop is managing the delivery of your products to your customers. You can buy shipping labels, coordinate delivery, and track shipments all within the Logistics Management section of your Dashboard.
There are three basic ways for you to ship your goods to your customers:
1) Manual shipping
2) Tiered Shipping
3) Fancy Discount Shipping Network
Manual Shipping
Coordinate delivery of your orders to your customer on your own. Purchase shipping labels from the carrier or your choice, upload the tracking number, and drop the package in the mail.
Tiered Shipping
With tiered shipping you can create custom rules that dictate shipping rates.
Shipping rates can be dependent on specific products purchased, ship-to location, total purchase amount, total shipped weight, or desired processing time. You can set the shipping price as a fixed number ($9.95) or as a ratio of total purchase amount (7%).
Examples of shipping options created include free delivery, expedited delivery, international delivery, oversize items, and customer pick-up.
Fancy Discount Shipping Network
Leverage Fancy's shipping network and purchase labels from your Merchant Dashboard. Determine your best shipping option given your desired transit time, transit route, and price.
Fancy is continually negotiating shipping rates down with all the major carriers. As Fancy secures steeper discounts, the cost savings are immediately passed onto Storefront merchants.

Title: Enter the name for your product that will appear to your customers. This field is mandatory.
Category: Select the proper vertical from the category tree for organizing your products. This field is mandatory.
Be sure to click the '+' to save the selected category.
Price: This is the price at which your product will be offered to your customers. This field is mandatory.
Retail Price: This is the product's full retail price. It will be greater than 'Price' if you are trying to show your customer that you are offering a discount. It will always be greater than or equal to the 'Price.' This field is mandatory.
Quantity: This is the number of units that you would like to make available to your customers. This field is mandatory.
SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) or Product ID: This is the unique identifier that you would like to use for this product. You can use any system or code that is meaningful to you. This field is mandatory.
Return Policy: Please be sure to set your return policy for your customers when purchasing your product. This is done on an item by item basis. This field is mandatory.
Enter Product Details
Description: Take a few paragraphs to describe your product in detail. The more keywords and content that you write, the more likely that search engines will find your site. Choose meaningful keywords that customer may be searching for in their browsers. Please avoid copying a manufacturer's description as you want your site and sales to look unique to the search engines.

Shipping Details
Select if you would like to ship your item internationally.
Select if you will charge (or not) for domestic and/or international shipping.
Enter the expected shipping window for domestic and international deliveries. This is the approximate time when your customers should expect their order to arrive. For example, a start window of 7 days and an end window of 10 days tells customers that they should expect their shipment to arrive 7-10 days after the order has been processed. You can specify different values for international orders.
Enter the custom rate that you would like to charge for domestic and international shipments for your product.
The incremental fee per additional unit purchased allows you to set the rate if a customer buys multiple units of the same product. For example, a small bracelet or t-shirt will likely have a lower incremental fee if a customer were to purchase multiple units whereas a large piece of furniture or a larger/heavier item is unlikely to have a lower incremental fee and thus the incremental fee will likely be equal to the custom charge.

Does The Brain Come Unglued in Autism?
A new study suggests that autism is associated with a reduction in the level of cellular adhesion molecules in the blood.
These molecules are the glue that binds cells together in the body, researchers said, noting that, in the brain, deficits in adhesion molecules could compromise brain development and communication between nerve cells.
Over the years, deficits in neural cell adhesion molecules have been implicated in schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders, according to researchers. One adhesion molecule, neurexin, has been strongly implicated in the risk for autism.
Cell adhesion molecules also play a crucial role in regulating immune cell access to the central nervous system, the researchers point out, noting that previous research has provided evidence of immune system dysfunction in individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
This led scientists from the University of California, Davis to examine whether adhesion molecules are altered in children with ASD.
They recruited children between the ages of 2 and 4, including 49 diagnosed with an ASD and 31 who were typically developing. They measured blood plasma levels of multiple molecules, conducted behavioral assessments, and measured head circumference in all the children.
"For the first time, we show that levels of soluble sPECAM-1 and sP-selectin, two molecules that mediate leukocyte migration, are significantly decreased in young children with ASD compared with typically developing controls of the same age," the researchers said in the study, which was published in Biological Psychiatry.
"This finding is consistent with previous reports of decreased levels of both sPECAM-1 and sP-selectin in adults with high-functioning autism."
The researchers also found that repetitive behavior scores and sPECAM-1 levels were associated in children with ASD. Repetitive behaviors are a typical feature of ASD, the researchers said, noting that their data suggest a potential relationship between molecule levels and the severity of repetitive behaviors.
Finally, the study also discovered that head circumference was associated with increased sPECAM-1 levels in the typically developing children, but not in the children with ASD. This indicates that perhaps sPECAM-1 plays a role in normal brain growth, as larger head circumference is a known feature of individuals with autism.
"The report of reductions in adhesion molecules in blood in autism is interesting in light of recent genetic findings. However, the importance of these measurements remains somewhat uncertain," said Dr. John Krystal, editor of Biological Psychiatry.
"Our field continues to look for blood tests that might inform the diagnostic and treatment process."

AUTOPSY, DISCHARGE, BENEDICTION To Perform At BOLT THROWER's 25th-Anniversary Show
British extreme metal pioneers BOLT THROWER will play a very special 25th-anniversary show, Boltfest, on Saturday, April 7 (Easter Bank Holiday weekend) at the HMV Forum in London, England. Joining them on the bill will be AUTOPSY, DISCHARGE, BENEDICTION and VALLENFYRE.
Commented BOLT THROWER: "Every band on the bill has contributed in one way or another to some great memories over the last 26 years of BOLT THROWER, so it's an absolute pleasure to have them all onboard!! Seeing that all five bands on the bill only play a few select shows a year, this should be a very special night!"
For more information, go to this location.
BOLT THROWER previously stated about its decision to stage Boltfest, "Anniversaries are kind of easy to achieve. For a band, just don't split up and you'll reach one, whether it's 10, 20 or 35 years. And this year we've reached '25 years of not splitting up!' We managed to stop others from making a big fuss about it, and didn't give in to the numerous offers and suggestions on how we should cash in on it! But it has made us appreciate the opportunities we've been given since 1986, and that we've been able to do everything we wanted to do without compromising in any way.
"We've been lucky enough to have played a lot of killer shows with great bands and met a lot of very cool people over the years, and we think that's the stuff that deserves some kind of celebration. So, we want to organize a ['Boltfest'], where we can reunite with some of these bands and invite you, the people who have supported us over the last 25 years."
As previously reported, the last three albums from BOLT THROWER — "Mercenary" (1998), "Honour Valour Pride" (2001) and "Those Once Loyal" (2005) — were reissued on vinyl on October 24, 2011 via Metal Blade Records. All three albums were released as gatefold LPs in colored vinyl, limited to 1,000 units each.
BOLT THROWER indefinitely postponed plans to record a new studio album after the band realized that the new stuff it had written "just doesn't match up" to the group's last CD, "Those Once Loyal". "We have a lot of pride in our back catalogue, and we refuse to turn into one of the many bands (like the ones we grew up listening to) who end up releasing crap, and we're also not prepared to compromise by instead releasing an album of cover versions or a 'best-of' album," BOLT THROWER explained in a statement.
"Those Once Loyal" entered the German Media Control chart at position No. 76 — the group's highest-charting release in Germany so far. The follow-up to 2001's "Honour, Valour, Pride" was recorded at Andy Faulkner's Sable Rose studios and was the band's first album since the return of original vocalist Karl Willetts as a full-time member.

Making phone banking safer than ever.
- Access phone banking through your voice
- No need to use your phone banking PIN
- Easier and safer to access your account through phone banking services
How voice biometrics works
HSBC Voice ID is a new technology that enables customers to use just their voice to verify when calling our phone banking hotline. With the use of Voice Biometrics, HSBC Voice ID creates your unique voiceprint which is used for verifying your identity. A voiceprint combines both physical factors (e.g. vocal tract, mouth shape and size, nasal passage) and behavioral factors (e.g. speed of speech, pronunciation and emphasis, accents).
How to enrol in Voice ID services1:
1Once you have successfully enrolled in Voice ID services, we will use Voice ID to identify you automatically when you call us for phone banking services going forward. However, you may still be required to input your phone banking PIN, one-time passcode via SMS or answer extra security questions in some instances or for certain transactions or instructions.
All you need to do to enjoy Voice ID service after enrolment:
You can then use the HSBC Voice ID passphrase "I will need your help with something" instead of your phone banking PIN the next time you call either the HSBC Premier, HSBC Advance, or HSBC Personal Banking hotline, depending on your account type.

Catie is Sick
Hi everyone, I feel like I should explain my absence. Last Wednesday I missed Wordless Wednesday because I was visiting family and getting wonderful baby snuggles, giggles and songs. I got back Thursday night and Friday I felt the start of a cold. What a doozie it is turning out to be. I'm not sure when I'll be back to normal force. Luckily it isn't affecting my mind too much so I'm still getting some work done but from home for the most part.

Summer has finally begun and cookouts and festivities are underway. The 4th of July is a huge holiday for most Americans. It is also a fantastic opportunity to talk about why we celebrate this holiday.
July 4, 1776 is our country's birthday; it is the day our country's founders declared independence from Great Britain. Ask your child (or if you are in a classroom, the children) what do the stars and stripes on the flag mean?
- 50 stars are our 50 states and the 13 stripes stand for the 13 British colonies, which we declared on July 4th, 1776
This can open up a dialogue about their ancestors and where they came from.
- Where were they from?
- Where in America did they move to?
- Why did they come to America?
- Was it for freedom, beliefs, a job, or for their family?
It is a terrific way to open that door and a way for children to speak with grandparents and start the conversation of what America means to them and the things that make our country special.
Talk about how we show support for our troops and gratitude and why we honor them. If you don't have military in your family, have your child or children write a letter thanking a military person for their service and our freedom.
Cookouts & Crafts
Before enjoying family or neighborhood cookouts, take some time out to celebrate and teach our children about the 4th of July and say Happy Birthday to America. Independence Day is so much fun, but we need to help children appreciate why we celebrate it. In discussing with your child or children you can add in some crafts to make it fun while you talk about the 4th. Some activities you can do that are fun are:
- Sing songs that are patriotic.
- America, You're a Grand Old Flag, The Star Spangle Banner, and so on.
- July 4th Bingo
- Give children a card and wipe off marker.
- Have them go around the cookout looking for the items on the card.
- Have them do one row first, then have them do two rows and so on.
- Have beach balls or bags of goodies to give them once it is full.
- Decorate marshmallow with melted chocolate and red white and blue sprinkles. Children will love dipping in melted chocolate and add sprinkles. The best part is eating them.
Most residential areas do not allow fireworks. We also want to keep it fun and safe for the little ones. So, an easy fun craft to do is confetti launchers:
Materials needed.
- Toilet paper tubes
- Markers
- Balloons
- Decorative paper
- Tape
- Paper and scissors.
- Decorate the tube any way you want,
- Cut paper into little squares for confetti
- Cut balloon in half tie one end
- Stretch other side over the tube,
- Fill with some little confetti.
- Pull back and watch the fireworks happen. So much fun

Badmintongrips can be divided in different categories; overgrips, basic grips and replacement grips. All kind of grips are available in different colors at Badmintonplanet. Badmintonplanet delivers all grips with a piece of tape to secure the grip to the handle of the racket.
Overgrips are used to create a thicker racket handle, for a firmer grip. Like the name says, these overgrips are placed over a basic grip. Examples of popular overgrips are the RSL overgrip, the Yonex AC102EX (3-pack) and the Super Grip from FZ Forza (3-pack).
Replacement grips are used to replace the original grip which surrounds the wooden handle.

Sometimes players choose to put a replacement grip over the original grip, when they have big hands. Examples of popular replacement grips are the Carlton Aerogear Ribbed PU (2-pack) and the Victor Fishbone Grip. These grips are made with some extra holes to absorb sweat faster and extra profile which provides an improved grip. When you sweat a lot during a badminton match, you could try the RSL Frotteegrip. This kind of grip absorbs sweat faster than any other grip!
For players who like to change their grips regularly, Badmintonplanet delivers some bigger grip boxes with different colors. You can think about the RSL Overgrip (60-pack) and the Carlton Aerogear Pro PU (24-pack). For all kind of grips you are at the right place at Badmintonplanet!

Garni 8: St. Sion "Mashtots Hairapet" Church
St. Sion "Mashtots Hairapet" Church
Next to the Temple are the foundations of St. Sion church, built in 659 and commissioned by Catholicos Nerses III the Builder. Partially excavated in 1907-1911, excavations were completely uncovered in 1949.
The church was a variation of the central dome church type with cross wings and is considered a copy of the church of Zvartnots. The interior of the cruciform walls form four semi circular apses, with annexes between the entrances into the wings of the cross.
The main altar and the annexes have horseshoe shaped apses, which, together with the cruciform plan make the space appear much larger than it is.
The central square lay beneath the dome. The church itself was entered on the Northern and Western sides. The entire structure rested on a plain inscribed into a 24 faceted sphere with a diameter of 24 meters, on top of a two stepped stylobate. 2-3 rows of finely polished tufa block masonry set in lime are what remain of the church.
"Mashtots Hairapet" Church
Adjoining the north end of St. Sion are the foundations of a small 12th century basilica, built to house the grave of Catholicos Mashtots Yeghivardetsi, who in 876 escaped Arab invaders attacking Echmiadzin and moved the Holy See (and its treasure) to Garni where he died and was buried. His gravestone is just north of the church ruins. .

Motor Row: The One-Time South Michigan Avenue Destination For Automobiles
21 February 2019
Chicago's South Loop neighborhood has undergone a myriad of changes throughout the decades. South Michigan Avenue was once home to number of flashy, flourishing car dealerships known as Motor Row. This automotive corridor was at one point the industry's most prominent public face, playing a large role in America's early infatuation with the car. At its peak in the 1920s, Motor Row populated a 1-½ mile expanse of Michigan Avenue, from Roosevelt Road to 26nd Street. The growth was swift considering the first car appeared in Chicago in 1893 at the famous World's Columbian Exposition, and at this point, cars were still unaffordable for the average individual.
The first automobile dealership on Motor Row opened in 1903, at a time when there were no more than 600 cars registered in the entire city. Henry Ford, innovator of the assembly line-produced Model-T, opened his first dealership outside of Detroit on South Michigan Avenue in 1905. The Buick Motor Car Company open a dealership in 1908, with others following closely behind. By 1925, there were 300,000 cars registered in Chicago; freshly assembled cars that arrived at dealerships on a Monday would be sold and out on the streets by Wednesday. To cater to the demand, real estate developer's built dozens of automotive-related structures along Motor Row, including repair shops, parts suppliers and accessory dealers, as well as expanded, more lavish versions of previous showrooms. 116 car dealerships could be found on Motor Row at its peak.
In 1936, the Illinois Automobile Club opened at 2400 South Michigan Avenue. The luxurious Spanish-Mission style building was intended to become a 21-story clubhouse with a swimming pool, dance hall and athletic facility, but the Great Depression caused the entire district to suffer financially and construction was halted on the clubhouse. As the Depression starved the automotive industry, car makers either left the area or collapsed entirely. The car makers that were still in business fled downtown or relocated to suburban areas, where the focus switched from top-notch customer service to volume, and large car lots replaced extravagant showrooms. At the onset of World War II, civilian automobile production ceased, snuffing out what was left of the life of Motor Row. The vestiges of many of these lavish dealerships can still be found in the district today, such as the Marmon building's doorway at 2232 S. Michigan, the Hudson Motor Car Company's "H" logo above the main entrance at 2222 S. Michigan, and the Locomobile dealership at 2401 S. Michigan.
In the 1950s and '60s, Motor Row evolved into Record Row, becoming a place where the albums of popular African-American jazz, blues and soul artists were recorded and distributed. Chess Records, the legendary label that featured Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Bo Diddly and other greats, was located at 2120 S. Michigan (also the title of a 1964 Rolling Stones song recorded there) from 1956 to 1965. Unfortunately, changes in contemporary music caused Record Row to lose relevance by the mid 1970s. Many of the once-glorious former car showrooms in the district have sat in various states of disrepair since then.
Motor Row was officially designed a Chicago landmark in 2000, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002. Currently, city officials, developers and entrepreneurs are slowing trying to establish Motor Row as a new entertainment district. The historic Illinois Automobile Club building was restored and reopened as an event space in the spring of 2017. Crain's Chicago Business refers to Motor Row as "the hottest neighborhood you've never heard of." Former Chicago Bears players Israel Idonije and Julius Peppers plan to put a co-working space and social club in the Hudson Motor Building at 2222 S. Michigan. Motor Row Brewing, a craft beer company at 2337 S. Michigan, which housed the Federal Motor Car Company over a century ago, features vintage photos and memorabilia from Motor Row's past. Restaurants, boutiques and loft apartments now dot vacant parts of South Michigan Avenue near McCormick Place. We are excited for the attractions and newfound authenticity this rejuvenation developments will create for residents of 1000M just a few blocks north of the area!

Expanding Capital Business Looks West
Edinburgh technology and digital recruitment specialists Be-IT Resourcing are focusing their expansion plans on the UK post-Brexit.
With second year turnover nearly trebling to £6million, managing director Gareth Biggerstaff has announced the opening of a new Glasgow base headed up by associate director Nikola Kelly and consultant Sean Gilger.
And the company's blueprint for a German presence has gone on the back burner.
Announcing the domestic expansion, Mr Biggerstaff explained: "A move into the London market is still on the cards but it would be foolish to press ahead with Germany given the uncertainty created by Brexit in terms of tax, tariffs and extraction.
"In the meantime, we can do business within the UK and make a judgement when the picture begins to get clearer on Europe.
"We are strengthening our position in the Scottish market in advance of opening in London simply because we believe it would be foolish not to exploit the opportunities that exist on our doorstep. The Buchanan Street office is fundamental to our growth targets.
"We have identified scope for expansion in the west of Scotland where you have global businesses like JP Morgan, Barclays and the CGI Group, as well as numerous SMEs. Glasgow is an important and evolving market."
Nikola said: "The tech market in Glasgow and the West is very buoyant and we are confident that our combined networks and experience will allow us to add value both to clients and candidates."
Commenting on uncertainty generated by the Euro referendum vote, Gareth observed: "Where there is a dark cloud there is always a silver lining. While we are suffering from huge uncertainty and volatility at the moment post-Brexit, in the long run there will, inevitably, be benefits in terms of new regulatory processes and organisations.
"We are going to see a massive impact on the banking, insurance and pensions sectors which will have to extract themselves from EU regulations, whether that demands minimal or major changes. We simply don't know at this stage.
"There will also be an effect on local and national government in terms of the systems processes involved.
"Brexit is one thing but there is a huge amount still to be done around digitalisation. All of these changes will create opportunities."
In a ground-breaking move ahead of Thursday's Scotland IS annual Scotsoft conference at Edinburgh's International Conference Centre, Be-IT have tapped into Dublin-based Social Talent to invest heavily in specialist recruitment training platforms tailored to the demands of the technology sector.
