Looking back to summarize 2017 we've seen many new developments the will influence 2018. Here is our summary about some of the more important changes for those of you doing business in or with China.
Political Stability
It is generally perceived that Xi Jin Ping got an overwhelming mandate to carry out his program and the personality cult built around him is compared to what Mao Zedong had. For foreign business it is one hand positive that there is a clear direction and that corruption has been severely curtailed. One the other hand it is quite clear that Xi's policy is a China first policy and many of the initiatives and new rules coming out are still unclear and open for interpretation, giving uncertainty in compliance. Overall the trend is heading to a much stricter regulatory environment and especially for foreign companies. As always in China the recommendation is not to try to interpret the written law as there are big time lags and often adjustments from announcement to implementation, always engage with your local government officials to see what policies are under implementation.
Xi has been ruthless in punishing with corruption allegations anyone who do not align to his leadership. With over 1.1 million punished officials one might wonder when this group become so big that it can become a political force.
Environmental tightening
The months before the party congress the Chinese government started a campaign to shut down thousands of polluting companies. It had an impact on many exporters.
This is a very typical campaign in China. It is possible for companies to be non-compliant and nobody pays attention and suddenly there is a campaign and overnight factories has to shut down. From first of January 2018 a new national environmental tax has been introduced replacing an inconsistent system of local rules. Western companies with manufacturing partners in China are advised to have due diligence and supplier code of conduct audit programs in place.
One Belt One Road
The One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative is one of the cornerstones in Xi Jin Pings economic and political program. The planned more than 4 trillion dollars the Chinese government will pump into this program from its accumulated trade surpluses gives Chinese businesspeople that dreamy look with dollar signs in their eyes.
The initiative initially called for the integration of the economies along the old Silk Road into a cohesive economic area through building infrastructure, increasing cultural exchanges, and broadening trade. Apart from this zone later also the sea routes to Europe via South Asia and Southeast Asia and even countries in Europe has been included. Many of the countries that are part of this belt are also members of the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).
While the purpose and definition is somewhat unclear and changing with time, some often stressed are e.g.to be to build stability in the Muslim countries to Chinas west, to give Chinese state owned construction and development companies opportunities by financing investment and loans in these regions, utilizing overcapacity in the Chinese industry, making neighboring countries financially dependent on China, putting China firmly at the center of the map and a revival of Chinese global influence, at the expense of the Americans.
Chinese business people knows where the wind is blowing and it will be one important factor to do business with a company from a country that is aligned. Many European countries e.g. Germany, Italy and Belgium has also cleverly joined the initiative scoring a tactical advantages for its companies in China.
In doing business with Chinese, the mentioning and alignment of belt and road in any situation will situation will give your host a feeling of that you have a clear view of opportunities in China. There are also opportunities for foreign firms in China's western region to get financial government support incentives, including free warehouses and offices as part of this policy.
Capital Control
While the OBOR spending has maybe not yet reached full speed, China increased scrutiny of its cross border investments to stabilize its currency after a record outflow in 2016. It then included some questionable investments in entertainment, including several football teams. Year 2017 saw outbound M&A deals dropping 50% to 140 billion USD.
It is of course still a lot of money for Chinas international expansion.
Innovation in Industry
There is a transition in the Chinese economy where they are going from foreign investment and export led growth to innovation and consumption led growth. The Chinese government has been very supportive in both in creating a dynamic start-up environment with plenty of funds available to young high tech companies as well as possibilities to finance acquisition of foreign technology.
Productivity by Automation
China will have 40 million less workers in 20-30 age bracket in the next decade because of aging population and with raising salaries and less interest in industrial jobs. A new wave of automation has started pushed by the National Development and Reform commission ( NDRC) and China has already been the largest robotics market in the world since 2013. China now yearly installs about the same amount of industrial robots as USA and Europe together with about 1/3 of the robots domestically made. We have seen more and more suppliers in the mechanical industry upgrading their production for better productivity but also more consistent quality.
New pilot free trade ports
Shanghai and many cities has since long had free trade zones and bonded zones in its port areas. However, import and export out of a port in these zones has still involve a complicated customs processing.
It was announced at the 19th national party congress in October 2017 that China will establish pilot free trade ports where goods, capital and people should be able to enter and exit freely. This will enable real offshore trade. It is speculated that the first one will be in Shanghai but a more specific time table has not yet been announced. We might eventually see a couple of new Hong Kong copies along Chinas coast.
Encouragement of small business.
Chinas corporate income tax rate is 25% for full scale general tax payers (companies that use VAT). New tax incentives for smaller companies last year excluded corporate income tax on companies below 30,000 RMB monthly sales. And for small scale tax payers (companies that don't use VAT but a sales tax) with taxable income less than 300,000 per year the corporate income tax was kept temporary lowered from to 10%.
While corporate income tax is relatively normal with international standard, there are also many other taxes and fees to pay and there is an awareness that the total tax pressure is too high. We might see reform in this area fairly soon and especially in view of the American tax cut.
Also full scale tax payers has got their breaks last year. We were positively surprised by tax officials' unannounced visit a few months back handing us back 50,000 RMB in paid taxes (!) as part of a local incentive program.
New work permit System for foreigners
A new system for qualifying foreigners for work permits was introduced making the process more complicated and also expensive. Immigration authorities now require extractions of criminal records from the home country and educational certificates need to be legalized by the foreign ministry and the Chinese Embassy in the home country.
In addition foreign workers are classified into three tiers according to attractiveness and applicants get points for e.g. Chinese language skills. It has become harder to employ people with experience but lacking formal higher education as well as young graduates lacking work experience.
End of the One Child Policy
After 37 years with the one child policy, it has now been a year with the new two child policy in China. This is a huge change in the Chinese society. Obviously there will be some effects on the demographic, especially in long term. More than half of the new babies born in the first half year where second children. The new baby boom will have an impact on consumption but also the social aspect is not to be underestimated, considering the generation of children who has grown up being a single child with a bit too much attention from the family.
Opportunities in Consumer Industry
Some years back I started, more as a hobby, to import some food from my home country Sweden. At that time most Chinese consumers were resenting to eat anything foreign and we had not foreseen the rapid development in this industry spurred by Chinese peoples increased wealth, travelling and changing sentiments in the last years. China will in 2018 become the biggest imported food market globally and we find ourselves, in addition to our consulting activities, to also be the leading independent importer of Scandinavian foods in China with a team of 20 dedicated people spreading the words of a healthy Scandinavian life style.
The opportunities in China are not discovered at home but by being engaged with the market on site in China. Talk to us to learn more about how to go about it.
We want to thank our staff, customers, suppliers and partners for a great 2017 and we wish everyone a healthy and prosperous 2018!

To be less intimidating repairs range between $75-250 for small jobs. Day projects can be priced. Before doing so, you may wish to look over and digest the costs of the repairs, which I set forth as follows.
A (mold) must be made from your original broken or good panel. My master mold making method requires about 8 hours of labor to complete. The process requires 2 kiln firings to set the mold at 900 degree's. It also requires a paper patterns displaying the mathematical shape of a bent panel after bending. After making the mold it then takes about 2 hours to bend each panel of glass on the mold. Installation time and labor can vary depending on the method of installation.

It obviously must have taken some time to do. Graffiti artists have a lot of guts (or maybe they're just insane, or high?). I personally cannot imagine trading the risk of jail time for my art. I guess I'm just too practical.

If you want to keep your favorite football teams game interesting over the weekend, try playing Football Bingo. It is a great way to help your friends stay involved in a slow moving game. Our games have items which are listed in 4 categories: offense (OFF), defense (DEF), referees (REF) and fan (FAN). After you and your friends have EACH downloaded the app, or gotten a free paper football bingo card, just start watching the game. As the plays occur or the commercials play, and you see one of the items on your card, shout out to the others in your party, and mark your card. When you get 4 in a row, column or diagonal you win. What you win is up to you and your group. You can try the game at your next party by downloading the free cards from our website footballbingopro.com and trying it yourself. This game is meant to be played with small groups, and you are encouraged to shout out when you see something on your card and argue the point with your friends while you are playing.

Earlier this month, we co-hosted an Occasion and evening wear gala meet up with bloggers and brands with Debenhams at their flagship Oxford Street store. The event showcased an array of occasion wear that Debenhams has on offer in store. To compliment the evening further, we were greeted with delicious canapes, fizz and a Nails Inc. nail bar – we were truly spoilt!
Since hosting two events with our UKBA16 partners, this has provided us with the opportunity to see how brands and bloggers network in more intimate surroundings and to develop important lasting relationships. What key things do you benefit from attending events? We have a short list below:
1. Putting a face to a name: the reality is that social media has provided a quick and fast social media connection tool. Of course, this works, but we must not replace with face to face interaction
2. Conversation is not limited on characters: a Tweet is limited to 140 characters, Instagram has its hashtag limits and no one wants to read a Facebook essay. Having conversations at events do not only lead to introductions, but conversations can lead to opportunities and collaborations. No one can showcase the passion of your blog more than you
3. Meet familiar faces: once you have created an initial relationship, whether this has been initiated online or face to face , it is important to maintain. Many business, bloggers and brands work collaborately after developing the right relationships, the opportunities are endless
4. Celebrating and sharing ideas: every blogger works extremely hard. Celebrating your content and sharing thoughts and ideas is key when developing any form of content. The importance of blogger and brand meet ups is that bloggers gain an insight into how the brands engage with their content and vice versa. Both sides can ask questions to help each other improve and make a difference across their industry. We will toast to that. Will you?
5. You can connect digitally: Hashtags have become an event saviour. At times, you may not be able to attend every event. By following hashtags, it provides you to be apart of the event experience and connect with bloggers and brands present at events.

The trend of anonymous DJ acts has been all too prevalent since the turn of the Century. So when another electronic dance duo led by a DJ shows up, anticipation of substance and addictive tunes may not be high on the agenda. Yet long time friends DJ Bhate (the "DJ" is actually an abbreviation) and Miguel Leiva have a couple of tricks up their sleeve, courtesy of a relaxed vibe and an assortment of guitar hooks.
They may sound trite on paper but the generic lyrics of "close your eyes to the sun" and "fade in, fade out" make sense when attached to the melody of 'Close'; characterised by playful beats and a nagging guitar line. It is from such solid ground that Bhate and Leiva build their songs and is the most convincing case in point, the remarkably slick 'First Time' rides on hip-hop lite and a slinky guitar line straight from the Orange Juice school of funk.
Somewhat bizarrely, 'Veil' uses a children's' TV-friendly tune making it an incongruous centrepiece for the EP. However, normal order is restored as 'Let Me Know' sets the controls for summer time again with another sunny motif, this time using the bassline as its USP but considering it's marketed as the lead track, it's not the most compelling moment on the EP. 'To Forget' is more like it as the duo recapture the form of the first two tracks with another hook which meanders and curls its way around the vocals like a coiled cobra.
The EP lasts just twenty minutes and although it may lack a little depth, the methods by which the duo recapture indie guitar for the dance generation is done in an admirable style. Infectious and sensual.

Home > Info and Resources > Hazards > Earthquakes
Earthquakes happen every day in New Zealand. Instruments record the ground shaking from over 14,000 earthquakes in and around the country each year. Most are too small to be noticed, but between 150 and 200 are big enough to be felt. On a world scale, seismicity (earthquake activity) in New Zealand varies from moderate to very high. Wellington lies in one of the most active of New Zealand's seismic regions and Auckland in one of the least active. Christchurch and Dunedin are in areas of intermediate activity.

Breach of the Month — May 2017
Every Friday the SS8 Twitter feed features a notable breach, leak, or hack as our pick for the SS8 #breachoftheweek. At the end of every month, our engineers take a look at each of these 'finalists' and select one outstanding breach as our #BreachOfTheMonth pick. Which did we choose for May? This month's breach threat analysis features the thoughts of Threat Researcher Akshay Nayak:
The Contenders
- Sabre hospitality booking database breach
- Yahoobleed vulnerability
- Zomato.com breach
Sabre Hospitality Booking Database Breach
Sabre Corp, one of the world's largest travel technology companies suffered a data breach wherein unauthorized access to their travel reservation system – Synxis was discovered. Per Sabre's Quarterly SEC (Security and Exchange Commission) Sabre's Quarterly SEC (Security and Exchange Commission) filing as well as a separate press release, they have confirmed this unauthorized access and have said that they have informed Law enforcement about the incident and assigned Mandiant the task of investigating the incident. The investigation is still going on and little is known outside of Sabre's claim that it's Synxis central reservation system might be the only one involved in the breach.
Yahoobleed Vulnerability
Yahoobleed is the name given to the vulnerability in the image processing library ImageMagick with regards to Yahoo. This vulnerability was found by Chris Evans, a security researcher who has found vulnerabilities in the ImageMagick library when used by companies such as Box and Dropbox. Yahoobleed is further subdidvided into Yahoobleed1 and Yahoobleed2. Yahoobleed1 resulted from Yahoo failing to install a patch in ImageMagick that was released in Dec. 2014. This means that Yahoo mail users were exposed to Yahoobleed1 for almost 28 months. Yahoobleed2 is another vulnerability in the ImageMagick library which was present inspite of the patch that took care of the previous vulnerability. All it took to exploit Yahoobleed1 was an 18-byte image file attached to the email body. Chris was awarded $18K for reporting the vulnerability to Yahoo and Yahoo decided to forgo ImageMagick altogether.
Although these contenders for May are strong — and we haven't even touched on the WannaCry infection which we addressed in detail in two separate blogs — the breach of the month is without a doubt the Zomato breach.
Zomato.com Breach
This popular restaurant review and food delivery website had the details of around 17 Million users compromised. These included User IDs, names, usernames, email addresses and hashed passwords. According to a post on a post on Zomato's blog, no payment card information was compromised, and since 60% of users who had details compromised in the breach used their Google or Facebook accounts via OAuth to login, and no password hashes were stolen for these users.
The attack seemed to be perpetrated by a ticked-off white hat whose sole motivation was to get Zomato to adopt a fully featured bug-bounty program and start taking security more seriously. The hacker who stole the account details had put them up for sale in a dark web marketplace and agreed to take the data off the dark web and delete all copies once Zomato decided to cooperate. It seemed that the attacker wanted Zomato to have a well-established bug bounty program and pay more attention to securing the data of its users.
Zomato has had a HackerOne account since Feb 2016 where they acknowledge white hats and pen testers alike for finding bugs in their applications. At the moment, in exchange for finding vulnerabilities, Zomato only offers to induct the finder into the "hall of fame" or if needed, provide a certificate of recognition. Since there is zero payout for finding vulnerabilities, there is little incentive for bug hunters report them. Once Zomato reached out to the attacker and promised to prioritize the security of its users' data, the attacker also gave them the details of how the data was compromised.
Another problem with this breach was the way Zomato stored the password hashes of users. The passwords were hashed using the MD5 algorithm with a 2-character salt used for each password. There are two problems with this. First of all, MD5 is an extremely weak hashing algorithm and has been proven to vulnerable. Second, while using a salt is better than not using one at all, such a short salt just does not cut it. Taking the previous two points into account, computing power available today and the fact that many users use short, easy to remember passwords, these hashes can be cracked easily. In fact that's exactly what happened, as Motherboard could crack the password hashes for a small subset of data obtained from the dark web marketplace Hansa using just an online hash checker.
There are a few important lessons that can be learned from this:
- Companies should invest more in securing the data of their users. There are many ways to do this and a good bug-bounty program is a step in the right direction. In this case, Zomato promised the hacker to put controls in place and enhance their bug bounty program to offer monetary rewards.
- Simple hashing functions such as MD5 or even the ones having a larger word space such as SHA-1 or SHA-2 should not be used by themselves. Creating a custom password hashing algorithm involving either of the algorithms mentioned before is also not advisable be it with or without salts of any length, as it's hard to tell how cryptographically secure it is without extensive research. A much better approach is to use password hashing functions that are specifically designed for storing passwords securely and have been thoroughly vetted by the security community. There are 3 that are extremely popular right now. They are Bcrypt, PBKDF2 and the newer Scrypt.
- Readers will notice how I used the words "white hat" and "hacker" interchangeably in this post to describe the person that caused user data to be leaked. This is because I believe the person's end goal was most likely noble, it being to get Zomato to take better steps into securing its users' data. But I also think that the method of arriving at the goal was extremely reckless and this person should have realized the consequences of putting up the details of 17 million users on the dark web even if it was for a short period of time. There is no saying who else might have got access to this data. A malicious adversary could harvest email addresses in this data or even use them along with the cracked passwords to compromise other online accounts of these users because of password reuse that is extremely prevalent.
- Users should set a strong password for all their online accounts. In order that these passwords don't need to be memorized, using a good password manager is highly advisable. These can help users automatically set and manage extremely complex passwords and effectively eliminate password reuse and the need to remember anything but the master password. 1Passwordand Lastpass are some of the best password managers out there.

A roundup of the monsoon beauties before I these songs disappear into the vortex of my brain.
I love all the shades of a relationship they managed to capture in this one song with the one common motif of travelling in the underground. I am a fan of public transport and I have so many stories related to it. It is a modern cultural experience in itself. To see it being used like this was nothing short of magic to me. 🙂
I have loved Angus and Julia Stone since 'Big Jet Plane'. Their dreamy music is always so soothing and this video is Vacation goals AF! 😉
I stumbled upon Roo Panes accidentally and the only question I have is why didn't I not know him earlier? It's like I have found Damien Rice from the parallel universe!
This one is just to add the much needed color and peppiness to the sobriety that might have been induced by all the indie songs above. XD
"I'd rather dance than talk with you". Enough said. 🙂

When it comes to quality care and expert craftsmanship, High Limb Hard Cider couldn't hit any closer to home. New England has always been our home. We grew up in Attleboro just forty minutes south of Boston, and have remained friends since childhood. It was in the home that a few years ago Kyle and Jeremy began High Limb Cider. Since then we have worked tirelessly to build High Limb into the cidery it is today.
The operation has since moved out of home and into a commercial facility in Attleboro. Our production officially began on January 1, 2014 and since then the cider has not stopped flowing. Sales started in just 1 local store and 2 restaurants but have grown exponentially with our reach increasing by the week. Even as we continue to streamline there are many processes that are still completed by hand. This ensures that every bottle is made with expert craftsmanship. The increase in demand over time has meant that we needed to increase not only our production but also the size of our team.
The core (get it?) success of High Limb Hard Cider is a direct result of our dedication to the process and the quality of ingredients we use. We proudly work with a local Massachusetts orchard where we get the cider the day of pressing. The cider blend is comprised of the table apples that we as New Englanders are used to eating. These familiar flavors and the unfiltered body create a cider experience that is like none other.
The future is bright for High Limb Hard Cider as we continue to ramp up our level of production. We hope that you join us on this journey with a nice cold cider in hand. Be sure to follow and keep up to date on High Limb news as we many new offerings planned for the near future. Cheers!

Life -Cycle Use Case
Respondents have indicated that the primary reason(s) for purchasing a new incense holder is indicated when they are: fitting new decor, require an item to help them relax more or assist in meditation, or the style and price are a right fit and they happen to come across one. It is largely motivated by the 'style' of the incense holder and the style needs to resonate with their preferred decor. Another reason indicated is when 'one is outworn' and requires updating, whether aesthetically or materially.
Respondents indicated that they go to acquire a new incense burner either at a metaphysical store, where they are likely to purchase incense sticks - or online.
When deciding upon the best option, respondents indicated that style/ appearance and price were the two most important factors. 'It has to look beautiful'.
Preferred method of payment is debit card, credit and then cash.
Customers use the incense burners by placing them in areas of their home such as the kitchen, bathroom, mantle or a window sill. No specific time of the day was indicated for 'when' they burn, as it seemed that respondents like to burn in the mornings, evenings, or while cooking or taking a bath.
The value of the incense burner is indicated predominantly by the quality of the materials; how they feel after using the product; and what it looks like in their space.
Respondents feel that the best time to buy a new burner was when their old one had fallen apart (likely because it's wooden) or when a new style of incense burner catches their eye. Also, when decor in their home changes.
60% indicated that they only purchase 1 incense burner at a time for their home, 40% indicated up to 2 or 3.
They are likely to spread awareness about the product by lighting it when friends are over; writing reviews.
We have had reverse tuck-end custom boxes (black) created at 2.5" high x 1.5" w x 1.5" d and we require a label for the outside of the boxes. At this point, we are open to ideas about how the label should stick (for example: one-sided, wrap around horizontally or vertically etc.). Attached in the files is the layout for the box.
We would like the label to add to the overall aesthetic of the packaging. We will be selling our products in modern-style metaphysical stores. We prefer modern aesthetic, but would also like to include a bit of an old-school metaphysical flare (without going too 'witchy').
We will have the label likely printed on kraft-style paper for environmental reasons. Black, gold, white, and neutral colours are all welcome. Sun, moon, stars etc. are also welcome.
Box dimensions 2.5" h x 1.5' w x 1.5"d / Face of box is 2.5"h x 1.5" w

Mizzou Xtra: Tigers take their talents to Toledo
COLUMBIA - Last week's win for Missouri's football team wasn't necessarily pretty, but the Tigers got the job done against South Dakota State. Still, things don't get any easier from here. The Tigers have a tougher opponent on the docket Saturday: the Toledo Rockets. This will be Missouri's first division one opponent this year.
Maty Mauk had a decent game against South Dakota State, but this could be the week he shines. Toledo gave up 291 passing yards and two touchdown passes to Sean Goldrich, the quarterback for New Hampshire Wildcats.
With Mauk being an upper-tier SEC quarterback, he should have no problem dissecting the Toledo secondary, especially given that team's recent injury woes in that area. Expect Darius White and Bud Sasser to take advantage of that fact and be more aggressive on longer passes.
After a breakout game last week against, Russell Hansbrough will get to reprise his performance against Toledo, especially since he won't be splitting carries with the currently doubtful Morgan Steward.
This match up will be tougher than last week, as Toledo held New Hampshire to 37 rushing yards on 31 carries. While Hansbrough is much better than any New Hampshire players, those numbers are still a bit concerning. Mauk will be the focus of the offense, but expect Hansbrough to get a decent amount of carries as well.
The biggest challenge for the Missouri Tigers will be in the trenches. The Missouri defensive line, led by Markus Golden and Shane Ray, will face a Toledo offensive line that is starting five seniors. This match up will be the X-factor of the game.
The Tigers will have to deal with Toledo running back Kareem Hunt, who rushed for more than 800 yards last season and had 136 just last week. This means Missouri's linebackers need to step it up a notch. Look for Kentrell Brothers to lead the way in terms of stopping runs short.
The experienced offensive line will be most concerning in the passing game where the Rockets are starting former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Phillip Ely. He threw for 337 passing yards and four passing touchdowns.
Missouri's secondary is easily the weakest aspect of the team as it gave up 200+ passing yards to an FCS backup quarterback last week.
If the Tigers let Ely sit in the pocket all day, he will pick Missouri's secondary apart. The key for the Tigers is to put pressure on Ely consistently. Just having him hear the footsteps of Markus Golden, Shane Ray or Matt Hoch should shake him up.
As for the linebackers, Missouri should be playing around with different blitz packages in order to squeeze Ely as much as it can. If Missouri's turnover streak ends here, the Toledo offensive line will probably be the reason why.
A lot of analysts have Missouri on upset alert this week against Toledo. After a lackluster performance against South Dakota State, some people think that Missouri will stumble against a potent Toledo team.
But let's not forget why Missouri is a ranked team: because they can play a good game of football. It will be a close high-scoring aerial assault, but Missouri will be the victors in this game.
Expect a Heisman-esque performance from Mauk and a strong performance from Ely as well.

Kevin Durant doesn't give a 'sh-t' what San Antonio radio host thinks of Zaza Pachulia
Kevin Durant is getting sassy online again, but this time he's not using his burner account to try clapping back at ESPN San Antonio's Jason Minnix.
In defending his Golden State Warriors teammate Zaza Pachulia, one of the Spurs fan base's most-hated men, Durant targeted the host of The Blitz. Minnix had tweeted a photo of Pachulia signing a young fan's hat from the bench Monday night as the Spurs hosted the Golden State Warriors.
"Not a fan of Zaza but this little kid was behind the bench asking for any player to sign his hat," Minnix's tweet read. "Zaza did in between the 3rd and 4th quarters. Made that kids night."
The situation was cordial enough until warriorstalk, a fan Instagram account dedicated to the reigning NBA Champions, took a screengrab of Minnix's tweet and shared it on their own platform, calling it a "highlight of the night."
RELATED: Spurs' Patty Mills speaks about being a role model, 1 day after hearing racial taunt from Cavs fan
Durant responded around 11:15 p.m., after his team lost to the Spurs, unimpressed by Minnix's kudos or that warriorstalk had recirculating his content.
"Not a fan of ZaZa but...nobody gives a sh-t if you're a fan or not lol," he replied to the photo from his official Instagram account.
The reply racked in more than 1,000 likes.
He wasn't done — he replied to a fan who called him a "savage."
"[...] these folks thinking being a fan is a real job with benefits lmao," he replied.
Minnix told mySA.com he thinks it's "funny" he got a rise out of Durant with his Tweet.
He's still impressed by Pachulia taking time to sign the hat. He said the kid had been "jumping up and down" before the Warrior asked security to bring the hat to the bench do he could sign it.
The NBA was not immediately available to return requests for comment.

A diode is an electronic component that allows current to pass in one direction only. Among other things, this capability makes diodes useful in rectification --- the process of converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). Early diodes consisted of a vacuum chamber connected to two electrodes, known as the cathode and the anode, but diodes used in modern circuits tend to be semiconductor diodes. A vast variety of semiconductor diodes are available, leading to an identification system to differentiate the different types.
Identify the cathode and the anode. One side of the diode may have several bands. The side to which the bands sits closest is the cathode. If the diode has no coloured bands, look for a spot, marking, the word "cath," the letter "k" or an unusual shape or tapering on the cathode end. Note that the direction of current flows from the anode to the cathode.
Hold the diode with the cathode (and the coloured bands) on your left.
Inspect the coloured bands, which you can translate into the identification number of the diode. The right-most band indicates the suffix letter, and all bands left of this band represent numbers. The only exception to this rule occurs when the right-most band is black, which indicates the lack of a suffix letter and that the diode is designated by numbers only.
Translate the coloured bands into the relevant numbers using the following code: black = 0, brown = 1, red = 2, orange = 3, yellow = 4, green = 5, blue = 6, violet = 7, grey = 8 and white = 9.
Translate the suffix letter (if used) using the following code: brown = A, red = B, orange = C, yellow = D, green = E, blue = F, violet = G, grey = H and white = J (no "I" appears).
Add "1N" to the beginning of the identification number. The "1" indicates a diode (as opposed to "2" for a transistor and "3" for a tetrode), and the "N" identifies the component as a semiconductor. For example, a diode with yellow, green, red and violet bands would have the code 1N452G.
Most recent
- If the diode lacks coloured identification bands, the number may be stamped or engraved onto the diode. Try to locate it.

WordPress unlocks a number of fantastic advantages for business owners serving a multitude of industry sectors. The WordPress website isn't after all what it used to be, with the plethora of features and plugins now available. With the right web design, development and back up WordPress websites provide a modern, intuitive web experience for those with varying levels of knowledge.
As well as giving webmasters the tools they need to update their company image and extend the functionality on offer to browsing potential customers, WordPress sites are particularly user friendly, a quality that Google and other search engines simply love. As a result, WordPress websites tend to rank more easily (that is, if content is structured well and updated frequently) than static websites. In addition to this, their web design impacts content marketing activities directly. Google loves WordPress so much that they've even recommended WordPress via a now difficult to find YouTube video and this lengthy Google Search article. The WordPress website that browsers, businesses and Google loves however is changing… introducing the new Gutenberg editor.
As the world's most popular content management system (CMS) perhaps you're wondering just why steps are being taken to alter what is obviously a well-regarded way of working on the web. The introduction of the new Gutenberg editor is set to shake things up, and critics and ourselves are not entirely clear on whether the step will be a good or a bad thing just yet. Gutenberg is currently available as a plugin (a plugin that has received both positive and negative press to leave onlookers even more confused) prior to its launch as part of WordPress 5.0. This launch will see the integration of Gutenberg into the core of WordPress, making use of the editor non-negotiable. So what is Gutenberg? And how will the editor change the WordPress experience that many adore so much?
What exactly is Gutenberg?
Named after renowned printer and publisher Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg (Johannes Gutenberg for short), Gutenberg has a number of objectives that would of course be alien to the 15th century figure who introduced the printing press to Europe. The Gutenberg editor's primary aim is to provide a more user-friendly method of creating content (much like Johannes Gutenberg), this time online, and more specifically via WordPress websites. The Gutenberg editor will marry the front and back end of WordPress websites to ensure the content creation and upload process more closely resembles its front end appearance. The move will see WordPress website owners gain clarity regarding how the finished article will look, without having to interrupt the development process by updating and previewing the page. Instead the website will be able to be accurately viewed whilst it's being created.
But WordPress already has a visual editor, right? WordPress' existing editor may be visual, yet users still have to call on short codes and HTML to make changes to their website in text mode. The current visual editor that you may be familiar with on your own WordPress website does give you the means to format content, providing easier use for editors with limited WordPress knowledge through buttons and without complex short codes and HTML. WordPress' current visual editor however has limited functionality, particularly when compared with other modern editors. With Gutenberg, WordPress will deliver a simple way to produce rich content, a route that doesn't hamper creativity or functionality.
Whilst WordPress' visual editor has just one input box, the Gutenberg editor divides the page into individual blocks, each of which can be assigned its own unique set of features. The use of individual boxes is designed to make content easier to edit, manage and format. Many modern editors use a similar system, but the use of this kind of system within WordPress is an entirely new thing.
When will Gutenberg be available?
The release of the Gutenberg editor is imminent, with the final 5.0 version expected to be released at some point this year. But it has been a long old road for the new editor. The development of Gutenberg has been planned across three stages with a variety of versions released since Automattic Founder and Lead Developer Matt Mullenweg announced the project at WordCamp US 2016. The first stage of development began back in June 2017, with the release of Gutenberg 0.1. With a focus on improving the post writing experience, an emphasis that has somewhat snowballed to affect the entire structure of WordPress websites. The months that followed saw the addition and improvement of countless new features across its 0.2 – 0.3 (released June 2017), 0.4 – 0.6 (July 2017), 0.7 – 1.0 (August 2017), 1.1 – 1.2 (September 2017), and 1.3 (October 2017) versions.
The 1.4 version, released in early October 2017, featured a number of updates. As well as a new reusable dropdown being added, the update saw partial URLs in link input become an option, initialisation actions merged and fix scroll reordering introduced. Gutenberg 1.5 followed shortly after with the release making more minor tweaks to existing features to fix issues. The New Year saw the release of Gutenberg 2.0, complete with a changelog that was approximately half a mile long! Thankfully this version brought to light a number of improvements, solving the accessibility, keyboard navigation, and drag and drop issues that many experienced in previous versions. For a complete description of the changes undertaken, please read Developer Matias Ventura's What's New in Gutenberg?
The plugin available today (as of early March 2018) is version 2.3. This plugin has already accumulated over 7,000 active installs since its release 7 days ago. However, for every 5-star review, the plugin has garnered a 1-star review with a smattering of 2 to 4 star reviews in between. Ratings that don't sit well with many users as the date for the final release draws nearer. A definite date for Gutenberg's final release has unfortunately not been made public yet, so we can't help you with that one! One thing is for certain though, the release of Gutenberg 5.0 won't happen until every member of the team working on it agrees that it's ready.
Why isn't the WordPress community welcoming it?
Needless to say the latest version (2.3) of the Gutenberg plugin hasn't been greeted with open arms by many members of the WordPress community. To say it's received mixed reviews is an understatement, but the mixture of positive and negative experiences gives a diverse and confusing insight into how WordPress website owners who are yet to try Gutenberg may find it. The user-friendly, updated features are the factors people are celebrating the most. Many members of the ever growing CMS community are predicting that the editor is the future of WordPress as a result. Some however don't see what the fuss is all about, with many commenting that the features included may be good but there's simply not enough of them.
Promising and revolutionary are both words we'd use to describe Gutenberg however. Whilst it's easy to tear features apart, it is important to remember that the editor is still under development. The plugins we're privy to are not ready for production sites and should be being used as a marker for checking compatibility and fixing bugs.
Should I go ahead and install Gutenberg?
The latest version of Gutenberg is now available (I think we mentioned that!), but the question is should you go ahead and install it? With the core 5.0 update coming later this year, getting used to the features now, before you have no choice in the matter, is recommended. The 2.3 plugin requires WordPress version 4.9 and the Gutenberg editor is as easy to install as any other plugin. Download the latest plugin (which may not be 2.3 depending on when you're reading this article) from the WordPress Plugin Repository. You can also go to the Add Plugins section of your website's WordPress dashboard to find the most up-to-date Gutenberg editor. Just search for 'Gutenberg' in the task bar, hit 'Install Now' and once installed, hit 'Activate'. As you'll see after activation, Gutenberg doesn't replace the visual editor already apart of WordPress due to Gutenberg only being available in testing mode. As a plugin you have to select Gutenberg, which you'll find underneath your posts on individual post pages or as an option on your 'All Posts' page.
Seeing Gutenberg for the first time, after becoming used to the visual editor found on all WordPress websites, may be a bit of a shock. Once you do sift through the editor however you'll discover a distraction free way of writing. Gutenberg does have some similarities when compared to WordPress' visual editor, which may be comforting for users. Upon start up you will see the familiar blog outline and formatting options, but these will disappear as soon as you begin typing. Don't panic, this is meant to happen. As well as providing a less convoluted space for writing posts, Gutenberg makes it easier to create content on the go as the editor looks and functions great on smaller screens too. Don't have enough space to create your masterpiece? Select 'Post Settings' in the top right hand side of the screen to remove the right hand sidebar and extend your space.
You'll find further options at the bottom of the editor. For instance, the '+' button adds new blocks to the editor, allowing you to customise your block with a text, galley, list, table or image block. Customisation doesn't end there; after selecting the most fitting format, you can select further options. For example, if you select an image format, you'll be able to insert, edit, resize and align. Whichever block type you choose, all blocks are easy to move, whilst a simple pop-up lets you keep track of the number of blocks on the page and the word count across these blocks.
Like WordPress' classic editor, with Gutenberg you have the option to switch from visual to text and back again. You'll find this option in the top left hand corner of the editor. Like the visual mode, you'll be able to add blocks, this time with HTML code. With Live HTML blocks however there's little need to switch between visual and text mode. The Live HTML block option is a cool, new feature that lets you preview HTML code from within the block, meaning there's no need to switch between visual and text modes to see what your page will look like. Gutenberg also offers plenty of anchor and table of contents support, embed options, cover text features and autocomplete abilities. The addition of buttons is also made easy with Gutenberg. Until Gutenberg, the insertion of buttons within pages had to be done via HTML code or third party plugins. Gutenberg has a built-in option for adding buttons, such as calls to action, which can be undone or redone as you see fit.
What's great and not so great about Gutenberg?
We've used this article to explain just some of the primary features of Gutenberg, but it is important to understand that this really is just the tip of the iceberg. The list of the features available via its latest 2.3 plugin are endless, and with a number of versions to come, this list will only grow bigger and bigger. Gutenberg is still under development so as you can imagine, the list of negatives and areas of improvement far outweighs the positives. The absence of markdown and column support in WordPress is a biggie, while many users have commented that the Gutenberg editor is simply too hard to learn. Keeping formatting when the need for copying and pasting outside content is also out of the question with the current version of Gutenberg, and there's a whole other, massive question mark over backward compatibility.
Gutenberg will no doubt be the mover and shaker that it is expected to be, it's already created quite a stir within the WordPress community. With its new block based experience, distraction free interface, greater range of media embeds, excellent flexibility, and ease of use on desktop and mobile, there are plenty of positives that make the impending introduction of Gutenberg 5.0 exciting, innovative and game changing for the better.

|One strategy we practiced when the kids couldn't quickly find the letter match was going back to the beginning of the alphabet and saying each letter aloud until they got to the one they wanted.
An old linoleum floor, a passion for projects, a small family with big heart, and endless opportunities for creating a mess.

Ocean Alphabet
As we continued with our Ocean theme this week I knew I wanted to tie in some literacy skills practice. With the warm, almost perfect, summer weather, it was also a great time to be outside and the kids were definitely interested with playing with water. That inspired the creation of our "Ocean Alphabet" activity.
Big Brother has done alphabet fishing before in our alphabet sensory bin. But this was the first time we created something outside in our actual pool. It was a huge hit with both Big Brother and Little Miss H!
To create the activity I cut 26 different shaped fish and other ocean animals out of craft foam. I cut these free hand, but a template would also work. I used a large, black sharpie to write capital letters onto each animal. I also cut a slit down the length of a pool noodle. Under the slit I wrote all the lowercase letters in alphabetical order. (Big Brother has mastered identifying all his capital letters already, so I was looking to add a little more challenge to the activity.)
I filled our small "baby" pool with clean water and added the fish.
We had both a butterfly net from the dollar store and small net from Daddy's tackle box to use in the "fishing." The kids were eager to get to work.
They "fished" a creature out of the water and said the letter out loud. They then matched the capital letter to the lowercase letter on the pool noodle. When they found the right letter they placed the ocean animal in the slit of the pool noodle.
They worked together as a team to collect all the animals from the pool and place them onto the right place on the pool noodle.
When they finished they took all the animals out of the noodle and started again!

What a fun activity! That's the way to do it....have fun and learn at the same time!!ReplyDelete
I love the shapes you made of the sea animals. Would you be willing to trace them on paper to make a template. I would love a copy! It would be so helpful!! Thanks!ReplyDelete
What a fun hands on learning activity for a summer's day!ReplyDelete

Title: River of Heaven
Author: Lee Martin
Publisher; Crown Publishing Group
Reviewed by: Marsha Sellers for Quality Book Reviews
I first would like to commend Mr. Lee Martin for his writing abilities and skill. Whenever I first began this book and learned that the main character -Sam- was an elderly homosexual, I thought – there is no way I am going to get into this book—- But as I got past the first chapter and began to visualize what I was reading, I had a hard time putting this book down. The story revolves around secrets, the fact of Sam's homosexuality is a secret, and the secret he has carried with him since he was a teenager-this secret has to do with his best friend's death. The characters in this book are so believable, I felt as if I actually knew them.
I enjoyed this book and would give it 3 stars. It is a good read, and a fast read.

Acoustic guitarist Kottke will play Park City this weekend
Acoustic guitarist Leo Kottke, who will perform at the Egyptian Theatre this weekend, has been nominated for two Grammy awards and has a Doctorate in Music Performance by the Peck School of Music at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
He's also a Navy veteran and has been performing his music for nearly 50 years.
Kottke's schedule was a little tight these past couple of weeks, but he was able to answer some questions from The Park Record though email.
Park Record: What was it about the guitar that steered you away from the other musical instruments you tried when you were a child?
Leo Kottke: That would be an E chord. Changed my life, gave me a life. I think I played that chord for about two weeks. When I got to the A I knew I was in trouble.
I continued for a while with the trombone but its days were numbered. I still have the horn, it's sitting across from me. About once a year I'll pick it up and play a scale. My embouchure has not improved.
PR: What was your first guitar, and do you still have it?
LK: It was a toy, a gift from my mother. I'd been sick for a long time and it was something I could play on my back. Trombone didn't cut it. The "guitar" fell apart about two weeks in. It had no sound, no sense, and no self-respect, but it gave me a way out and a way in. Thanks Mom.
As Dick Rosmini told me years later, after I'd been complaining about a guitar I had, "If you really know how to play, it doesn't matter what guitar you're playing."
He was right.
But, obviously, it also doesn't matter what guitar you're playing if you know nothing at all. That's what got me out of bed and saved my life.
PR: What was your initial goal for your music and has that changed throughout your 50-year career?
LK: No goal. Goals are the enemy. All I wanted was to play the thing. I'm still trying to do that. I'm glad for the chance.
PR: How have you been able to maintain (your career), especially though the many changes in the music climate over the years?
LK: The music climate probably doesn't exist. Some kind of marketing stuff exists and that's whatever that is, but it isn't music.
First there was the mob, then there was the union, after that I lose track.
I could put in a nod to Capitol Records. That was an extraordinary company. Or (Takoma Records') John Fahey. Or (record producers) John Hammond, senior and
junior. These are cultural motions and they are self-generating. Marketing is milking.
Music happens for someone alone in a room for a long time with some kind of instrument. The big event is when they walk out the door. After that a lot of us turn around and go back in the room. That's music. It's like food. You can't walk away from, or maintain, food.
PR: Many people consider you a master musician and you have not only been nominated for two Grammys, but also have a doctorate in music performance from the Peck School of Music. With that said, do you still try to discover new ways to play and perform your music?
LK: The guitar is running everything. I have no choice. It's a form of suicide anyhow to decide ahead of time what you're going to do on an instrument. If it isn't suicide it's at least stupid.
The instrument will wise you up, though, and you'll start to learn a few things; but sometimes, as Woody Herman did, you'll just turn it into a lamp.
Meanwhile, it's a form of vanity to remain self-taught. Sooner or later you have to do your homework. There's always more to find, always people you can stand next to — from beginners to virtuosi.
PR: Do you have any special plans regarding your three concerts at the Egyptian Theatre here in Park City?
LK: I don't, really. The most important part of performance is risk. If you eliminate that you've eliminated performance. You've also nearly guaranteed that you won't have a good time. It's a privilege to play but it's rude, especially if you're a soloist, to "map it out." It shows. Better to make a fool of yourself than never to show your face.
Acoustic, fingerpicking guitarist Leo Kottke will perform at the Egyptian Theatre, 328 Main St., Friday through Sunday, March 8 through March 10. The Friday and Saturday shows will begin at 8 p.m. and Sunday's concert will start at 6 p.m. Tickets range from $35 to $65 and available at http://www.parkcityshows.com .

Quick note: This test is timed! You have N MINUTES to complete the test! All unanswered questions will be marked as incorrect. Good luck and godspeed!
Talk to us! Let us know how we did!
We love road signs! With our 2019 Washington road signs practice test, you will love them too! Questions on road signs comprise a substantial part of the DOL permit test and you have to learn them if you want to pass. Don't worry, though, as we got you completely covered: we have selected all "important" road signs that may come up during the exam and stuck them into this free DOL practice test! Driving test questions are supplemented with great images of road signs so you can learn them faster!
This great WA road signs practice test contains 20 multiple choice questions. While it may seem as if questions change whenever you restart the practice test, they really don't, the only thing that is changing is the order these driving test study questions and answers are presented in - we constantly change the order so you will not grow accustomed to receiving your sample questions in certain order and won't be thrown off by having them presented differently at your local DOL office. All questions provide you with immediate feedback, you don't have to wait until the end of the test before seeing the correct answer! Whenever you happen to miss a a question, this Washington state drivers practice test will immediately alert you to your mistake, display the correct answer and provide a detailed reasoning for that answer so you can learn on the fly! Once you get to the end of the DOL practice test, you will get yet another chance to review all of the questions you've missed! All questions are based on the drivers handbook and are state-specific, which means the test will work in Seattle, Spokane, Vancouver and everywhere else across the Evergreen State!
One thing we forgot to mention: this Washing road signs DOL practice test is completely free! That's right, questions on warning signs, regulatory signs, identifying traffic signs by shape and color, highway guide signs and lane use control signs - all free! Don't waste the opportunity, take the test now and make sure to write back once you pass the real permit test!

The setting is Tonkin (northern Vietnam) at the turn of the 20th century. A boy, Tai, witnesses the beheading of his father, a notorious bandit, and sets out to recover his head and then to find the man who betrayed his father to the authorities. On this quest, Tai's entire world will shift. FLESH takes the reader into dark and delightful places in the human condition, places where allies are not always your friends, true love hurts, and your worst enemy may bring you the most comfort. In that emotionally harrowing world, Tai must learn to deal with new responsibilities in his life while at the same time acknowledging his bond, and his resemblance, to a man he barely knew--his father. Through this story of revenge is woven another story, one of love, but love purchased with the blood of murders Tai commits. A coming-of-age story, but also a love story, the sensuality of the author's writing style belies the sometimes brutal world he depicts.
I took the longest time to read this book. While I finish a book in a day or two at the most, I read this one over a period of a week. No, not because it was boring, not because it was dragging and certainly not because it was easy to put down. The only reason I forced myself to put down this book after every few chapters is because I did not want it to end! Seriously, it is that good.
The story is that of and narrated by a teenage Vietnamese boy, Tai. Even though he did not share a particularly close relationship with his father, witnessing the beheading of his father makes a great impression on him. He decides to reunite his father's head with the rest of the body. With that decision, Tai's life takes a turn that changes him and his life completely. Revenge, redemption, peace and love – these become an integral part of his life – his driving force. What happens when Tai meets a geomancer and leaves his village behind to go work for that man, is for you to read and find out.
The characters are strong and colourful. Tai, the protagonist is someone you are forced to feel for and with. Also, the female characters in the book, especially the ones that touch Tai's life directly, are really strong and are the ones that you cannot ignore. The dynamics of different relationships are bound to be different and the author has portrayed that very well through these different characters. The author has also managed to cover and describe quite a bit of 19th-20th Century Vietnamese culture and background.
The plot is good and though not very fast paced, it will never give you the 'drag' feeling. But I can guarantee you that it will make you think – even days after you have finished reading it. There's certain 'darkness' (for lack of a better word for it in my limited vocabulary) in it that will creep up, get a hold on you and not let go easily. And yes there's violence that will gross you out. But there's also love and romance. Then there is hope and forgiveness. The author has expertly dealt with both the spiritual aspects and the emotional and materialistic side of human.
The best feature of this book is the author's style of writing. I don't know – this might sound odd to you, but I thought that his style of writing was very elegant – not any other word, but elegant. It may be because the word elegance usually paints a 'royal & sophisticated' picture in my mind and that is exactly what I felt about Khanh Ha's writing. There's a certain charm in it that's more at home with what we call 'classics' and hard to come by in modern literature. It is so expressive and touching all the while maintaining its charm. While I was reading, the smooth flow of the storyline naturally complimented his language to paint a very vivid motion picture in my mind.
This book has made a real good impression, one that's going to last a long time, on me. I would suggest and recommend this book to the people who are looking for a book with good language, great plot, amazing characters and some 'depth'.
About the Author
Khanh Ha was born in Hue, the former capital of Vietnam. During his teen years he began writing short stories which won him several awards in the Vietnamese adolescent magazines. He graduated from Ohio University with a bachelor's degree in Journalism. He is at work on a new novel.

The following report presents the preliminary design and prototype development phase of a technology insertion program implemented by this author to extend the service life and to improve the performance of the United States Navy's Bathythermograph Data Recorder System onboard Submarines (AN/BQH-7) and Surface Ships (AN/BQH-7A). The performance upgrade will increase the Fleet User's ability to measure sonar performance and will provide more accurate salinity measurements used for submarine ballasting and control. This project is unique not necessarily because Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) and Non-Developmental Item (NDI) componentry is being used but because the focus is on developing a systems engineering process model for (1) the implementation of COTS and NDI technologies in an open systems architecture environment, (2) a maintenance, sparing, and life cycle support model for COTS and NDI programs, and (3) a periodic technology insertion plan for keeping pace with COTS and NDI technology advances and configuration changes. It is intended that this report be used in the future as a good example of the successful implementation of Acquisition Reform and DoD 5000.2B initiatives.
