The first smart connected biking system
COBI is helping to revolutionize the overall cycling experience by connecting your smartphone to your bike. This award-winning system provides bikes with intelligent assistance. The result is more safety, convenience, and fun on any trail or bike path.
COBI's product manager Sebastian Frommherz contacted me in January 2016 because they were looking for a front-end developer to help them build a fast page for their current marketing web site which introduces COBI's technical features to prospect clients and users, called the "COBI Connect" page (screenshotted above).
After our initial Skype call, The COBI team and I both knew we wanted to work together. COBI's interest in building a great experience for their users and emphasis on performance matched well with the principles I strive to code by. What I appreciated even more is their openness for feedback and constructive criticism even from the first call, which helped us all realize that we were on the same page, and were wanting to work towards one shared goal.
In addition to the Connect page, the project included building the front-end foundation for the new COBI web application. More specifically, the Web app was composed of few sections, including—but not limited to—a user dashboard, help section which included help videos and PDFs, as well as a FAQs section. Future iterations of the application would then add more sections, all tied to their product and that would help users keep track of their activities and connect their physical biking activities with their digital accounts.
Sebastian Frommherz:
I heard about Sara the first time when my colleague sent me a link to her website. We had been searching for freelance web developers at that time to support our internal web devs. From what I heard Sara had some interesting CodeDrops and apparently was also involved with Smashing Magazine. None of which actually blew me off my feet right away. (Seriously, sorry to say, but there are so many who claim to having worked for this great company, and this great client and actually are not that good at all).
Well, turned out I was wrong. Already in the first calls we had established a great connection (I'm not talking about the Skype connection here - this was horrible). Sara was not just listening to all the stuff we had to say and present but already started to actively question our ideas and recommend alternative approaches. Excellent match - hired!
It turned out, we were completely right. Sara was very closely involved with our Design and Concept team. Technical issues and questions were resolved on the fly together with the team in a very agile way. And when saying "agile" I'm not meaning "without any plan". The contrary: we had a pretty tight deadline which she pursued rigorously. I, as a project manager, consider it highly important if a team finds its flow and that was definitely the case here. This not only leads to better quality results but also to the team taking on responsibility for their work and making very great decisions themselves. A pleasure to see all that happen.
Next to this, and I guess this is just a PM thing, there was no worry at all to be left in the dark. Where others just close their shutters and come back from their tunnel after some time and you are sort of surprised by the result, I have been frequently updated about progress, issues which needed to be resolved and have seen development snapshots early in the process. Again, something I consider very valuable as I always felt included, in control and never was really worried the projects would crash.
And, best thing ever: it was a first timer for me to be working with somebody who gets quoted in academic work. (a talented, young web developer I know referenced Sara in his Bachelor thesis - isn't that awesome?!?!)
Conclusion: of course, Sara doesn't come without a price tag. But it's worth it. Up to date I have not worked with a freelancer so open-minded, innovative and not afraid to challenge client's work as Sara. And best of all, its not just "talk"… but also "walk". Thank you, Sara, for the great work and even more for the great experience of getting to know you and working together!

Your big day is just around the corner and you're starting to hear those wedding bells chime. Next on your to-do list is a trip to the salon! Get ready for the mane event with a recap of this season's wedding hair trends from Hair On The Avenue stylist Kelly Araujo.
Retro Glam: Old Hollywood hairstyles continue to dominate on both the runway and red carpet, all the way to the aisles of love. "Soft and sultry, retro 'do's truly epitomize femininity and glamour" notes hairstylist, Kelly Araujo. And dare we say they ooze a little sex appeal?
Boho Queen: Channel your inner flower child and adorn your principle part with a crown of nature's blossoms. Paired with a loose curl, this understated look completes an outdoor wedding atmosphere and serves as a great alternative to jeweled accessories.
Textured Tresses: Give your soft, textured updo a braid boost. Woven strands are a summer cornerstone and can add a subtle hint of individuality to your I-do hairdo.
Ballerina Bun: For the fashion savvy bride who wants to incorporate her trendy tendencies, the high bun is a safe bet for the big day. "This twist on a traditional style maintains modernity without going overboard".
Keep it Classic: Chignon's have withstood the test of time as they provide a simple, streamlined look. However ladies, do not underestimate their reliability: "Chignon's are incredibly versatile, suiting a wide array of bridal looks. While the front is typically polished, there is room to accessorize and modify the back of the style".
Above all, stick to a style that best represents you. Trends may come and go, but the album is here to stay!

Canon Tim Dakin, CMS General Secretary

Grieved by loss of life, longing for justice, praying for peace – Tim Dakin of CMS comments on Gaza
CMS has a long-term commitment to working in Israel-Palestine in order to share the love of Christ. Our partners have included those who have different Christian, ethnic and political perspectives.
At this time of crisis we are grieved by the appalling loss of life in Gaza and call for an immediate ceasefire and a return to negotiating about disagreements rather than resorting to violence.
As a matter of justice we believe that Israel should grant greater access for relief workers and supplies in order for the people of Gaza to have their basic food and medical needs attended to. This is a matter of urgency.
We also acknowledge the long-term problem and provocation of rockets launched from Gaza into Israel, yet we find the disproportionate use of force by the Israel Defence Forces a matter which clouds the justice of their cause and stokes up further emotive responses in the wider region.
As Christians we are praying for peace in the name of Jesus the Prince of Peace, longing for a time when people of all faiths and none can live together in Israel-Palestine on the basis of there being justice for all.
CMS is able to accept donations to pass on to partners bringing relief to families in need in Gaza, including Al Ahli hospital. You can give by credit or debit card by using the link below, or send a cheque, payable to Church Mission Society, to CMS, Income Team, Watlington Road, Oxford OX4 6BZ, clearly stating that your donation is for Gaza.

My last couple of piano solos have been Bollywood songs and this time, I decided to change the genre. I learnt a very recent and popular super hit Western song 'Hello' which has been sung by Adele.
I have definitely become a fan of Adele after listening to 'Hello'. The song has been set to a soulful chord based piano score, and Adele's powerful vocals explain the conversation that is occuring in her mind to her previous partner after they have separated. It did take me a couple of listens before the emotions of the song touched me, but once that happened, I loved the song even more. 'Hello' is the ultimage heart-break song.
I have been able to learn the song thanks to pianist Dhruv Gandhi, who transcribed the notes so wonderfully. Due to forseeable copyright issues, I chose to learn the first verse and chorus only and share it at reverbnation. Listen to my version below and let me know if you liked it 🙂

Introduction - how significant is the Internet for marketing?
How significant is Internet marketing to businesses today? The answer as always, is 'it depends'. The relative importance of the Internet for marketing for an organisation still largely depends on the nature of its products and services and the buyer behaviour of its target audience. For companies such as easyJet (www.easviet.com), the low-cost European airline, the Internet is very significant for marketing its products - the Internet is now a vital part of the customer journey as consumers select the best supplier and make their purchase. EasyJet now achieves over 95% of its ticket sales online and aims to fulfil the majority of its customer service requests via the Internet (Figure 1.1). The figure shows how it has used the Internet to support its growth into many new markets. When returning to the site on subsequent visits, the relevant home page for that country is automatically displayed. For organisations whose products are not generally appropriate for sale online, such as energy company BP (www.bp.com) or consumer brands such as Unilever (www.unilever.com), the Internet is less significant, but is still rapidly growing in importance. We will see that a dramatic change in media consumption over the last 10 years towards digital media means that the Internet is becoming important for all product categories. Although the Internet is less commonly used for sale of products by such organisations, it is still important in increasing awareness of their products and brand values through online advertising on third-party sites. Once awareness is raised amongst different customer types, content and offers such as those in Figure 1.2 can be used to encourage them to start an online dialogue. The cover theme of this new edition of Internet Marketing alludes to customer journeys as we go about our daily lives. It also suggests the potential the web has for collaboration in communities and the sharing of information and experiences.

Customer journey
A description of modern multi-channel buyer behaviour as consumers use different media to select suppliers, make purchases and gain customer support.
An approach to marketing based on detailed knowledge of customer behaviour within the target audience which seeks to fulfil the individual needs and wants of customers.
Defines how different marketing channels should integrate and support each other in terms of their proposition development and communications based on their relative merits for the customer and the company.
This book explains how organisations can develop plans to manage all the different ways in which the Internet can be applied to support the marketing process. We take a customer-centric approach to Internet marketing (although many would regard this as a tautology since the modern-marketing concept places the customer at the heart of all marketing activity). By 'customer-centric' we mean the capability digital media give marketers to better understand and tailor propositions to individual customers, which is one of its greatest appeals and a common theme in each chapter.
As customers follow their journeys as they select products and interact with brands, they do not use the Internet in isolation - they consume other media such as print, TV, direct mail and outdoor. These media are still very important for marketers to communicate with customers who still spend the majority of their waking hours in the real world rather than the virtual world. It follows that an effective approach to using the Internet is as part of a multi-channel marketing strategy. This defines how different marketing channels should integrate and support each other in terms of their proposition development and communications based on their relative merits for the customer and the company. The multi-channel approach is also a common theme throughout this book.
In this introductory chapter we review different applications of Internet marketing and consider the impact of the Internet on marketing. We also explain the basic concepts of Internet marketing, placing it in the context of e-commerce and e-business and the technologies involved.
Internet-based media offer a range of opportunities for marketing products and services across the purchase cycle. Companies such as easyJet and BP illustrate the applications of Internet marketing since they show how organisations can use online communications such as their web site, third-party web sites and e-mail marketing as:
• An advertising medium. For example, BP plc and its subsidiary companies, such as Castrol Limited, uses large-format display or interactive ads on media sites to create awareness of brands and products such as fuels and lubricants.
• A direct-response medium. For example, easyJet uses sponsored links when a user is researching a flight using a search engine to prompt them to directly visit the easyJet site by clicking through to it. Similarly the easyJet e-mail newsletter sent to customers can encourage them to click through to a web site to generate sales.
• A platform for sales transactions. For example, easyJet sells flights online to both consumers and business travellers.
• A lead-generation method. For example, when BP offers content to business car managers about selecting the best fuel for company cars in order to identify interest from a car fleet manager.
• A distribution channel. For example, for distributing digital products. This is often specific to companies with digital products to sell such as online music resellers such as Napster (www.napster.com) and Apple iTunes (www.itunes.com) or publishers of written or video content.
• A customer service mechanism. For example, customers serve themselves on easyJet.com by reviewing frequently asked questions.
• A relationship-building medium where a company can interact with its customers to better understand their needs and offer them relevant products and offers. For example, easyJet uses its e-mail newsletter and tailored alerts about special deals to help keep its customers and engage them in a dialogue to understand their needs through completing surveys and polls.
Our changing media consumption
Although the importance of the Internet varies for different organisations, what all share is changing behaviour in their stakeholder audiences whether they be prospects, customers, media, shareholders or other partners. Each of these audiences is increasing its consumption of Internet media (Figure 1.3) and there is a corresponding change in buyer behaviour. Figure 1.3 shows that in the UK, the Internet is the third most consumed medium following TV and radio (this figure excludes e-mail usage). During the business day, the web is the most frequently consumed medium.

Influencer Shermeen Amin Has An Eye For Instagram And A Penchant For Beauty Products
From skincare shots to pet photography, Shermeen Amin knows how to craft pretty mean Instagram posts. The Dallas resident, who keeps one foot in the human resources world while the other dabbles in the digital space, is precise when it comes to posing people and products, and choosing partnerships. "Copy-and-paste campaigns are not only impersonal, but they're not what we desire [as influencers]," she says. "Serious influencers that have a reach of any size, they're particular, and brands should be equally particular." Beauty Independent caught up with Amin to discuss business deals, the indie beauty movement, brands she adores, content diversification and the shifting social media landscape.
You grew up in Memphis and Washington, D.C., and now you live in Dallas. Did those cities impact your idea of beauty?
In my hometown [Memphis], where I grew up, the awareness [of natural brands] was not there. I was into natural ingredients at a young age, so I would always have to resort to DIY type of things or making masks with my mom. I've always had an interest in that route, and that became a big way I would spend time with family. It's how we would utilize self-care. When I moved to D.C., that interest and awareness grew with a larger market to discover safer alternatives to what I wanted to use. And, once I became a dog owner, I started looking more into cruelty-free and vegan products. That expanded out into looking into that quality in my overall product choices, and has stuck with me and continued to expand from there.
Which came first, photography or beauty?
Well, I actually work in HR full-time, but, in my free time, I would say I'm a photographer with an influencer perspective. Instagram lends itself to both really well, and I like to combine a little bit more of the branding aspect into my lifestyle photography instead of just a straightforward beauty review.
Did you have any idea that you would be deemed an influencer?
No, actually, not at all. To be honest, in general, it's something I enjoy doing, and something I would do in my leisure time anyway. So, to have friends, family and followers that want my personal opinion and feedback to make a decision, I'm humbled by it. When I started seeing that others really do value or even depend on my input, I knew it was something [I could do], and I'm really honored by it.
What do you wish brands knew about working with influencers?
Brands should have a good understanding of who their target audience is so that they can begin understanding the influencer they're looking at and their target audience. If you are an indie beauty brand, for example, and your influencer doesn't cater to that demographic, no matter how many followers they have, it's a loss. Brands need to understand who they are working with. We, as influencers, research brands we work with to see if they are a fit and, if brands in turn want to be successful, they have to do the due diligence on the influencers beforehand.
Does your eye for photography impact the products and brands you feature?
Yes, I think that they align pretty closely. I always try to work with brands where I believe in the product or what you'll find in my photography is stuff that I have around and actually use. In most cases, I'm simply showing off my photography style, and what I love is actually in the photo or [it contains] things I've purchased myself. I'm just being creative in that way and that lends itself to a collaboration or relationships instead of the other way around.
How do you prefer to work with brands?
I prefer to begin over email and, then, I like to get on the phone just to lay out what the brand is looking to do and what they are expecting out of the partnership, mostly [to see] if it's a good fit. I like to hear them in person to get more insight. As far as what I do, I often just post products on my own that I am using in photography, but I'll also do a blend of sponsored posts or series.
Why do you think indie beauty has so much momentum?
People want to see something different. People are more aware and more interested in ingredients and efficacy. Indie beauty is a new and exhilarating avenue for people to embrace and discover that. It's still so fresh that many people are just getting on board and, for those that have been on board, the concepts, brands and innovations continue to grow, morph and expand. It's really exciting.
What are a few brands you are crushing on right now?
Svati Organics, which [was at] Indie Beauty Expo Dallas. Their Bare Body Butter is really taking care of my eczema. The inflammation is totally gone from using this, and that's how you know it's good. Osea Malibu is another one that I'm really excited about. Their Sea Vitamin Boost is a real winner. Then, I would say the Luxe Botanics Camu line is a real hit. Their Brightening Serum is really well done and works wonderfully.
What's next for you?
I want to continue showcasing photography, but also delivering content that is relevant to my followers. I do think it is a little bit hard to post on green beauty all the time. It's a limited piece, and I am trying to keep it open to things other than [green beauty] and more about photos that inspire me or align with the ethos. The majority of my followers are beauty lovers in some capacity, but I also have a lot of photography lovers, so blending the two niches and trying to cater to both is my goal.
What are your thoughts on the progression of social media?
It's not like I can tell how long Instagram as the main platform will be a trend, but I do think people are really drawn into Stories and people physically checking in. It keeps people more engaged than the curated photos. Of course, it depends on the influencer and when they started or how. Did they start on YouTube? That's likely where they do best. Where did they get their momentum to begin with? It all varies. What works for one I don't think works for all, but I'm seeing a swing back to live interactions.
As far as me personally, I do want to be consistent, but sometimes I don't want to post about a product that everyone else is posting about, adhere to a timeline or worry if it looks good with my feed. There's a lot that goes into what we do. Which is another reason why I shifted out of beauty or just one thing. If I can combine what I like to do, which is storytelling, and they work together, then, I can bring in what I want when I want.

Romer's Burger Bar
Posted by Westcoast Foodie Blogger
Romer's Burger Bar
Happy Friday great foodie friends!
Burger time?
Atmosphere: hip Westcoast, warm and inviting…they used a lot of natural neutral colours and materials that make the dining area and bar very inviting and comfortable.
Location: Yaletown- 1039 Mainland street, Vancouver, BC.
Ph: (604) 559-7210
Lunch at Romer's……
I have been wanting to get down and try Romer's for a while now….
It didn't disappoint and is a great spot for you to head down with friends on your lunch time, after work or a great spot for a weekend night out!
First up something a little different, the Chorizodor burger: chorizo spiced pork and beef patty served with cheddar & pepper jack cheese & creamy boursin, fresh avocado and finished with diablo sauce.
The burger was just spicy enough to satisfy but not so spicy that I couldn't taste all the fresh layers of flavors!
Fries anyone?:
Decisions, decisions….
Sea salt
Fresh garlic and sea salt
Truffle oil & Reggiano
Killer poutine – traditional
Spicy chili cheddar cheese fries
"The Best Short rub poutine"
Or Rockin Yam fries
Whatever your choice if you can share with someone it would be better as the burgers are big and the desserts are a must try!
Today….. Truffle oil & Reggiano it is….
Truffle oil can either be a delicacy or a train wreck… All depending on how it is used and more importantly how much is used….
This was the perfect balance and the Reggiano was the perfect pairing.
If you saved room (let's be honest, even if you didn't I am sure you will still venture here..)
Dessert: (Sweetness)
The choices are a simple this one or that one….
Romer's famous drunken doughnuts: perfectly fried (not oily… Crisp on the outside ad perfectly soft on the inside) mini doughnuts dusted with icing sugar and served with 3 perfect pairing sauces to confuse you In a good way! Kaluha Nutella, lemon Limoncello, or delectable maple whiskey.
If you are not a doughnut fan, try the cookie – Warm double dark chocolate cookie- served with mascarpone frosting and chocolate Nutella.
The bonus that you should always look for is good people…. Romer's has taken the time to train and enlist great personalities with friendly dispositions..
When you choose to spend your hard earned dollar you should expect good to great food and great service to create the perfect dining experience whether casual or formal.
Romer's also carries a respectable list of craft beers that seems to change every so often… The staff can truly help you to pair the perfect beer with your meal… Just ask and they will be pleased to help!
I should mention that the menu consist of more than just burgers…. There is a great selection of salads, starters and Big bowl items sure to please.
I recommend that you try any one of Romer's locations for a great meal with friends or family.

Cardiac Fibrillation…
Carl and Gerlinde (XXXIX)
A sleepless night, a burning breast ache, a tottering heart and Dr. Riffelmann's diagnosis sufficed to convince Carl that, just maybe, it is a good idea to join Hannelore and Gerlinde two weeks later when they went to their stupid 'ladies course'…
But Gerlinde had been right! He had to take things easier to prevent that ship – no, his ship – from either leaving or leaving him behind!
"This auricular fibrillation episode was an alarm signal and should be taken very seriously", Dr. Riffelmann had said without his otherwise usual smile. Carl was lucky to be only in his mid-fifties and justs have a slightly high blood pressure: a mere beta blocker was enough to bring the 'hearty tantrum' back to normal. No need yet for anticoagulants…
"But you want to be careful: matters might worsen sooner than Carl might be prepared to acknowledge", Dr. Riffenmann said with just a hint of a smile. In order to prevent that from happening, Carl would have to immediately start a routine exercise program, drink only a minimum of alcohol and reduce his daily stress considerably!
When he heard the words 'reduce stress', Carl suddenly found himself in a smiling contest with Dr. Riffelmann! How was he supposed to manage that, with the avalanche of problems on the international knitwear market?
But then, maybe he could snatch away the job red-faced Fritz Kuhlmann was now holding as porter at the company and offer him his knitwear salesperson position along with the cardiac fibrillation in return? And maybe his boss, 'Little Eastercorn' would – for a change – offer some constructive help, rather than just talking? And maybe so would the works committee?
"Well, you know you do not have to throw the baby out with the bath water", Dr. All-Smiles suggested, "most importantly, you have to learn how to better deal with stress! And how to reduce it? Meaning not by drinking more beer and Whysky in the evening and instead exercising daily and applying a special relaxing routine!"
"Relaxing routine?"
"Yes – there are excellent courses you can take to learn this kind of thing", Dr. Riffelmann was quite enthusiastic.
"I am sure you are not suggesting relaxing routines from the wonderful kingdom of Chakras and singing bowls where energy-charged rubber dragons make all tension inside me disappear for 125 Euro, do you?",
Carl moaned as loud as if someone had just drilled on one of his nerves.
"No – I certainly would not advise you to start Yoga Vidja; I know you well enough. But how about common Autogenous Training?"
Carl rolled his eyes and mumbled something incomprehensible.
"Yes! Why won't you try and give relieving stress through 'AT ' a totally unbiased chance?"
"Well, Dr. Riffelmann, the reason is that next time I see you I will not simply have a cardiac fibrillation.
Instead, you can be dead sure that I will return as a homicidal maniac: because if my right arm is supposed to become heavy and my left leg is supposed to start burning, I am going to go nuts!" Carl's face had turned scarlet and a new fibrillation attack was underway when he grunted his reply. …
"And what would be so bad about that? I do not mean the homicidal maniac part but the heavy right arm and the warm left leg! You would not believe how relaxing it can be and what a stabilizing effect it has on your heartbeat, as well..…"
"Sorry, Dr.Riffelmann. With me, this 'AT ', as you call it, can have only two mutually exclusive effects: I will either become as aggressive as a starving varan! Or else I will immediately fall into a comatose-like sleep.…"
"Well – you know, actually, the latter would not be a bad idea! With the exception of having to transport you home, which might be a little complicated. But then, maybe there is a nice person you can think of who could help with that?", Dr. Riffelmann said with a grin that said relish.
In fact, the sun-tanned smile of before had been more comfortable, Carl thought when he collected the recipe for his beta-blockers from the doctor's assistant.
So much more surprising was his about-face!
Or was that not what it was, after all? Was it again one of the usual Gerlinde-style Manipulations? After all, she knew exactly how to pull the nose ring of her run-down bull Carl in order to make sure he landed on the path she wanted him to land on …
Well – it took exactly two – more poorly than well-slept-through – nights before Carl informed Gerlinde during breakfast after a two-minute coughing attack caused by a piece of French Baguette he had spread finger-thick with apricot jam as usual that this strange Dr. Riffelmann whom she had at the time recommended to him had not been able to tell him anything better than that it might be a good idea to, quasi as an additional preventive measure on top of the beta blockers against his cardiac fibrillation, enrol in an AT course for stress reduction. Although he of all people should have known how much Carl hated all kinds of esoteric knick-knack.
"So why don't you come and join Hannelore and me", Gerlinde said, sounding no different than if Carl had asked for a second egg for breakfast.
"What? – How? – Where? You want me to take part in your ladies' course"?
"Why not?"
"Is there any man in the course at all?"
"I mean one who is not gay?"
"My God, how should I know about that "!
"And who is in charge of the course?"
"Well, that is Severin?"
"What! A man?"
"A sports student!"
"And is he gay?"
"I would say: certainly not", Gerlinde whispered with a dirty smile.
"Why are you so positive?"
"Just because I know – and Hannelore also confirmed …"
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Well, that she, too, is quite certain …"
"Phew – am I in the wrong film here!"
"Why would you think that?"
"Well, seeing as your eyes turn all glazy as soon as you mention the sports student…"
"Why don't you come and take a look at Severin yourself …"
"Is that possible?"
"All is possible if I speak with him …"
"This gets stranger and stranger", Carl moaned before getting on his way to his office without another word. Somehow or other he had the feeling that the next attack of cardiac fibrillation was soon going to be upon him unless he saw to it that the distance between him and his Gerlinde quickly became as far as possible.
And on Saturday morning, Carl actually trotted along when Gerlinde left home to attend this strange AT course!
"Well, I guess it will not do any harm – although I am sure it will not do much good, either", he fizzled with an embarrassed smiley on his face when he spontaneously joined her in the car.
Well – and Gerlinde was wondering if the best time to tell him that Severin was currently, but basically had all the time been replaced by Uschi Müller would be on the way there or later …

France's Innovative Maritime Security Engagement in the Indo-Pacific
- The Diplomat
- Visto: 127
With a wide range of activities and capabilities, France is making contributions to maritime security throughout the Indo-Pacific region.
Paris, Apr.3.– In July, France will take over the chairmanship of the Indian Ocean Naval Symposium for 2020-22. The first summit meeting, to be held in La Réunion, was postponed from late June to November. France's chairmanship is an important symbol of the growing regional integration of French territories in the Indian and Pacific oceans, encouraged by Paris, and of the growing importance of maritime security issues in French strategy in the Indo-Pacific. The main reasons of the latter are threefold.
First, with nearly 2 million nationals living in the region and an EEZ of 9 million square kilometers, the protection of national maritime spaces and their resources constitutes a fundamental mission of the 7,000 French soldiers deployed permanently on five bases (La Réunion, Djibouti, Abu Dhabi, Nouméa, Papeete), notwithstanding naval forces sent on a regular base from metropolitan France.Add a comment Leer más...

Lego Helecopter
I got this helecopter a couple of years ago but back then I didn't keep things together very long. Dad found all the pieces and set them aside in a bag and forgot about them. Today I rebuilt it, it was pretty complicated and took quite a while but it is cool ... for a city set.

Just FYI, this is not a discussion on self-help to keep you from divulging your deep and dark secrets in real life. It's about YQL and the various web secrets such as API keys, Consumer Keys and other key-secrets for personal use which you'd rather not give out to anyone visiting your web applications.
With that disclaimer, let me jump right into the scenario that I'm talking about. There are quite a few YQL Open Data Tables such as Netflix Catalog, NY Times Article search, Amazon Product Advertising table etc which require a user to register and enter an API key and/or Secret into the query. Issuing a query in YQL Console for testing purposes seems great. You can see the results and ensure that the query is working as you desire before adding it into your webpage/webapp.
Brief Introduction to 'SET'
'SET' statements in YQL let you decouple the constant keys from the varying keys in the where clause of the YQL statement. For example if I wanted only the PDF search results for a given search term, I would issue:
select * from search.web where query='yql' and type='pdf'
Since the type='pdf' expression will be a constant key in all of my queries, I can decouple it by issuing the following query
SET type='pdf' on search.web; select * from search.web where query='yql'
In essence, the YQL compiler applies all the 'SET' clauses for a particular table to each compatible branch of the YQL statement and then executes the query.
Here is another example which shows the Amazon product listing api wrapped in YQL that requires your AWSAccessKeyId and the secret to be part of the query. To test this query I would use the entire query:
use 'http://nagiworld.net/yqldefs/yql/amazon.ecs.xml' as amazon.prodlist; set AWSAccessKeyId='YOUR_KEY' on amazon.prodlist; set secret='YOUR_SECRET' on amazon.prodlist; set AssociateTag='YOUR_ASSOCIATE_TAG' on amazon.prodlist; select * from amazon.prodlist where Title = 'panasonic' and SearchIndex="Electronics" and ResponseGroup='Images,ItemAttributes,SalesRank' and ItemLinks.ItemLink.Description='All Offers'
Storing your secrets
YQL provides a way to store data in Yahoo's own Sherpa. For a deep dive into storing data with YQL you can checkout the Hosted Storage docs
Building on the 'USE' and 'SET' statements described earlier, we can easily decouple the query into two components. The first component has all the 'SET' statements whereas the second component has your query. Now to hide all the secret bits in YQL, all I have to do is insert the 'SET' statements into yahoo.storage with the following query
insert into yql.storage.admin (value) values ("use 'http://nagiworld.net/yqldefs/yql/amazon.ecs.xml' as amazon.prodlist; set AWSAccessKeyId='YOUR_KEY' on amazon.prodlist; set secret='YOUR_SECRET' on amazon.prodlist; set AssociateTag='YOUR_ASSOCIATE_TAG' on amazon.prodlist;")
The response contains the various keys such as execute, select and update.
<results> <inserted> <execute>store://h0L6f1ecl32llKITPZEbOg </execute> <select>store://xGnPqWdslS..sqvoOYObn </select> <update>store://tiJkslt0pE..QEecsQyQn5 </update> </inserted> </results>
Each element described in the response has specific properties.
- The execute key can only be used to execute a query. This implies that exposing an execute key does not expose the data stored within the entry.
- The select key should be kept private since it can be used on the yql.storage table to view the contents of this particular entry.
- The update key lets you update the contents that are seen via the select key.
Given that we have the execute key, we can now provide the execute key to the query parameter called 'env'. This tells the YQL Servers to pull the data from the store and prepend it to your query before actually running it. So in essence YQL does a read through execution of the query.
Once you pass in the env, you can issue the following query:
select * from amazon.prodlist where Title = 'panasonic' and SearchIndex="Electronics" and ResponseGroup='Images,ItemAttributes,SalesRank' and ItemLinks.ItemLink.Description='All Offers'
As you can be seen, the above query does not expose any of the your secrets specifically the amazon id, secret and your associate tag. None of the diagnostics or the debug information leak your URLs which at this point could contain the various keys that you'd like to keep secret.
Selecting an execute key does not show the secrets you put into the query
select * from yql.storage where name='store://h0L6f1ecl32llKITPZEbOg'
As expected this returns the following and thus Mission Accomplished! Secrets safe
<results> <error>No select permission or doesn't exist</error> </results>

In light of the recent calendar revision survey results, the School Board has voted to cancel the September/October collaboration days (Option 2 as represented in the survey results). To maintain the correct number of instructional minuets/year the elimination of one collaboration day results in a small change to our current bell schedule. Since this revised calendar will be presented to the Board in November, we have elected to adjust the bell schedule after our Winter Break.
We will operate under the current time table and bell schedule until the December break, and when we return in January we will end our day at 2:39pm (not 2:42pm).
Our revised Calendar can be found here MPCS-2014-15_OCT28

The upcoming March 31 Ukrainian presidential election will likely lead to a higher potential for security-related disruptions during the campaign period over the coming weeks, and potentially beyond. A second round of elections could occur April 21 if no candidate has secured 50 percent of the vote in the first round. The Ukrainian electorate remains polarized over various domestic and regional issues, which could encourage frequent protests in city centers and clashes between rival groups in the separatist regions of the Donbas. Security forces in border regions and at international transportation hubs are likely to heavily screen all travelers. Military buildups are likely around international land and maritime borders, as well as along the contact line between the separatist-controlled regions in the Donbas. Ukrainian government agencies and private companies are also expected to implement increased cybersecurity measures.
Key Judgements
- The prevalence of protests and the likelihood of sporadic violent incidents in city centers and near polling stations remain high during the election campaign and after the publication of the results.
- Ukrainian authorities will maintain high surveillance of all land and maritime borders to mitigate foreign military and other adversarial threats to disrupt public order.
- Ukrainian government agencies, as well as private sector businesses operating in Ukraine, are likely to implement additional cybersecurity measures to safeguard company information and the operations of critical infrastructure.
Public Opinion and Leading Candidates
Independent polling agencies in Ukraine forecast a high voter turnout, though the electorate remains polarized over the candidate choices and their stances on key domestic and foreign policy issues. Political issues include upholding democratic institutions by implementing anti-corruption initiatives and passing legislation to boost the economy and overall living standards, as well as deterring military aggression from Russia and potentially ending the ongoing conflict in the Donbas region.
There are 44 presidential candidates registered as of March 2. The three front-runners are the incumbent Petro Poroshenko, former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko, and comedy show host Volodymyr Zelensky. Several independent pollsters have ranked Zelensky as a potential front-runner, with Poroshenko and Tymoshenko tied for second place. Zelensky has portrayed himself as an anti-establishment candidate who is committed to eliminating government corruption. He also claims he will end the conflict in the Donbas, though he has not provided details. Zelensky's critics argue that he lacks the foreign policy expertise necessary to deter military provocations from Russia, saying he is vulnerable to manipulation by the Kremlin.
President Poroshenko could be re-elected as he is perceived to be the most capable of preventing Russia improving its geostrategic position to the detriment of Ukraine while maintaining strong relations with the EU and the US. However, voters remain dissatisfied with his reluctance to create an anti-corruption court and his administration's lack of progress in improving the economy. Citizens also criticize Poroshenko's failure to articulate a clear plan to end the Donbas conflict, and the consequent unnecessary extension of the violence.
Tymoshenko's campaign aims to attract broad support for her domestic policies, such as improving social welfare and lowering utility prices. However, her critics claim that she is less likely to end Russian aggression since she has previously entered unfavorable business deals with the Kremlin. Tymoshenko has been distancing herself from a scandal around gas contracts with Russia, in which Ukraine agreed to pay more than it would have through a deal with the EU, hurting the Ukrainian budget during her tenure in 2009-2011. Voters remain suspicious as to whether Tymoshenko would avoid another poor deal with Russia when it comes to other security and economic agreements.
Civil Unrest in Ukraine
Protests related to the election campaign are likely to increase; although widespread unrest is less likely, isolated clashes or individual acts of violence carried out by hooligans, criminals, or extremists could cause short-term disruptions.
Activists are likely to demonstrate in support of candidates; since the beginning of the campaign period, anonymous perpetrators, including some believed to be automated social media "bots," have bribed citizens to rally in support of specific candidates, even nonexistent ones. Ukrainian civil society and nationalist groups are also likely to demonstrate to draw attention to specific grievances. Anti-corruption rallies; protests demanding transparent elections; pickets denouncing suspected government involvement in politically motivated attacks against civil activists; and demonstrations condemning Russian aggression, the occupation of Crimea, and the ongoing war in the Donbas, are likely. Such gatherings have occurred near government buildings and in central squares of large urban centers since February and have prompted counterdemonstrations. Participation in demonstrations can typically range from several dozen to several hundred, though political rallies during the election campaign could be significantly higher. Protests are likely to become more violent following any perception of electoral fraud or interference with the voting procedures after the preliminary or secondary results. Recent protests have occurred without significant incidents, though police have not hesitated to use force when rallies have become disruptive. Vandalism by pro-Russia activists targeting Ukrainian nationalist headquarters, or campaign headquarters of candidates with a strong anti-Russian stance, is possible. Ukrainian nationalists have also vandalized entrances of Russian banks and, in some cases, Russian-registered freight vehicles.
Armed Conflict and Militant Activity
Elections will take place in areas of the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions that remain under control of the Ukrainian government, though the prevalence of isolated fighting between Ukrainian and pro-Russian separatists is likely to remain high during the election campaign. Although international monitoring bodies note that violence in the Donbas has decreased overall since 2014, there is still evidence that both Ukraine and the separatist forces are building up their military capabilities and moving them closer to the contact line that separates the belligerents. Observers affiliated with the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs have noted frequent ceasefire violations and exchanges of fire that have resulted in military and civilian casualties. Grenade explosions and skirmishes are most common in rural areas and areas near the contact line. Criminals, or individuals attempting to disrupt the vote, could plant bombs near polling stations or local campaign headquarters to discourage voters in the government-controlled areas of Donetsk and Luhansk.
The possibility of a direct military confrontation between Russian and Ukrainian forces cannot be ruled out in border areas, or in disputed waters, such as those around the Kerch Strait or surrounding the Crimean Peninsula. The Kerch Strait incident in November 2018, in which Russian forces seized three Ukrainian Navy ships, illustrated the tensions regarding disputed maritime and land borders between the two countries. An overt Russian invasion of Ukraine is very unlikely, though a latent threat of armed confrontations between Russian and Ukrainian forces cannot be ruled out.
Border Security
As a precaution, authorities will certainly maintain heightened border security over the coming months. The State Border Guard Service (SBGS) will continue to conduct searches at all international points of entry, particularly at airports, sea terminals, and in areas where the November-December 2018 martial law was in effect: the provinces bordering Russia, Crimea, and Moldova's Transnistria region. Increased checks of non-Ukrainian nationals, particularly on male Russian citizens aged 16-60, will remain in place at all international points of entry. During the martial law period, Russian males were barred from entering Ukraine. Although the martial law expired in December, border authorities have since denied entry to more than 900 Russian men. Heightened security measures, including extensive screening of passengers, luggage, and cargo, could prompt processing delays at international transport hubs. Vehicle searches could cause intermittent delays at some border crossings, potentially affecting commercial truck traffic. There will undoubtedly be a visible security presence, including military deployments in aid of the police, around vital installations, including airports, train stations, bus terminals, and critical utility infrastructure.
Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities
The threat from hacking and potential cyberattacks targeting networks utilized by Ukrainian government bodies, military installations, key industries, and critical infrastructure remains high during the election campaign period. Individuals and state-sponsored groups could attempt to carry out such attacks during the election period for financial gain, to cause chaos nationwide, or to obstruct voting and ballot-counting process to raise doubts over the legitimacy of the voting process.
Cybercriminals have been able to infiltrate vulnerable networks by sending malware through email attachments or links in the body of an email. Such emails purport to be from another employee of a government agency or a firm. In recent months, Ukrainian authorities have noted an increase in hacking attempts on government officials and attorneys. In the May 2014 presidential election, hackers disabled parts of the Ukrainian Central Election Commission (CEC)'s network with cyberespionage software. Hackers also disabled the CEC's website ahead of the 2014 parliamentary elections. Cyberattacks, such as the 2017 WannaCry and Petya viruses, prompted shutdowns in energy production, transport, shipping, banking, and other critical services in Ukraine and other countries around the world.
Security Measures
Ukrainian authorities will certainly increase their security posture in city centers, near polling stations, at transportation hubs, within the separatist regions, and at international borders to mitigate significant business disruptions and violence in the coming weeks. Although widespread unrest or large-scale military conflict is unlikely, isolated violent incidents are likely during protests and election rallies, as are slight escalations of confrontations between government and separatist-controlled forces in the Donbas. A high-profile, though limited, military confrontation between Russian and Ukrainian military forces, similar to the Kerch Strait incident, cannot be ruled out. Short-term business disruptions within networks operated by the Ukrainian government, banks, or key industries are possible if officials detect a hacking attempt or a security breach and need to disable certain online services. Prolonged security measures are likely to persist nationwide in Ukraine potentially through May if the second round of voting takes place and even through October when parliamentary elections are slated to occur.
Advice for Operating in the Area
Avoid all demonstrations. Exercise caution around potential protest venues and leave the area at the first sign of crowds or security forces beginning to gather.
- Carry identification and relevant visa documentation at all times.
- Remain courteous and cooperative when dealing with security personnel.
- Allow additional time to transit airports, railway stations, and border crossings.
- Do not attempt to pass through any roadblocks set up by police or protesters; find an alternative route or defer travel until the route has cleared.
- Where possible, travel with a trusted local who has Ukrainian and Russian language capabilities. Consider traveling with an accredited security provider.
- Do not attempt to photograph security forces, critical infrastructure, or demonstrations. Avoid military sites.
- Immediately report any suspicious communications or activity to corporate information security departments. Do not open email attachments from unfamiliar or untrustworthy sources. Ensure that computers and mobile devices are running the latest available operating system and have the latest security patches installed.
- If there is a disturbance outside your hotel, keep your drapes closed, and stay away from the windows. Extinguish all lights. Assemble traveling companions in one room.

AJH Cables recently had a customer from Egypt who contacted us about 40-metres of 3 core 50mm² 11kV medium voltage power cable, usually short lengths are hard to come by but luckily, we had a 49-metre short length in stock. After confirming with the customer, they were happy to proceed, the next problem we encountered was consulate document for the goods to be allowed through Egyptian customs, luckily for us Marc Lawrence has many years' experience in dealing with the Chamber of Commerce and was able to sort out the documents on the same day as applying for them.
With everything considered AJH Cables was able to go from quote to arriving at Alexandra Port Egypt in just 18 days which is a very high level of efficiency.
3 Core 11kV Medium Voltage Power Cable has a galvanised steel wire armour (SWA) so that if accidental damage should happen it offers very good protection the cable. The cable is suitable for laying indoors, cable ducts, outdoors and even underground for power stations and distribution networks. If a single core medium voltage cable is required BS6622 AWA (Aluminium Wire Armour) maybe a preferred option.
3 Core 11kV Medium Voltage Power Cable is used for electricity supply in medium voltage power supply plants. The conductor material is stranded bare copper whish is conductor class 2 and the inner semi-conductor material is XLPE-SC (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) and the screen is bare copper tape with the external semi-conductor material being extruded strippable. The inner sheath material is PVC (Polyvinylchloride) along with the outer sheath material which is also PVC (Polyvinylchloride) Which always comes in Red.
The three cores are in Black, Brown and Grey tapes with a working voltage of 6.35/11kV (12kV) and has a bend radius of 12 x overall diameter (x Ø) and a maximum operating temperature of +90 °C and a fixed operating temperature of -20 to +60 °C.
If you have any requirement that AJH Cables can help you with, please contact us at email@example.com or give us a call on 0330 555 1333

Status: Open
Resolution: Unresolved
Affects Version/s: Minecraft 1.11.2, Minecraft 17w06a, Minecraft 1.12.2, Minecraft 18w05a, Minecraft 1.13.1
Fix Version/s: None
Confirmation Status:
The bug
If a boat is riding an entity the boat will no longer have an orientation to testfor.
For example If I turn the boat to face (-30.0 / ~ ) and testfor it with this command /testfor @e[tag=Boat,rym=-30,ry=-30] the results will be no entity found. Also another way to prove this I teleport my self to the boat facing (-30.0 / ~ ) and instead I face (0.0 / 0.0) normally I would face the same direction as the boat. I tested this with a boat not riding an entity and i faced the same way the boat faced. And the testfor command worked when it wasn't riding an entity.
Steps to reproduce
- Summon a boat riding an entity
/summon armor_stand ~ ~ ~ {Passengers:[{id:"boat"}]}
- Get in the boat and turn it to a position
- Teleport player to boat
/tp @e[type=boat,c=1]
→ You will notice that you are not facing the direction you were facing while riding the boat
Image proof
The first image is me facing the same direction as the boat, the second is me teleporting to the boat and instead of facing the same way as the boat I face (0.0 / 0.0).
Code analysis
Based on 1.11.2 decompiled using MCP 9.35 rc1
The problem is that the packet CPacketVehicleMove is only sent and accepted if the lowest ridden entity can be steered. Since in this case an armor stand cannot be steered no packet will be sent and the rotation is only updated client-side. If this is the intended behavior the respective steering methods should only allow steering and rotating an entity if it is not riding another entity.

TRX! What a coin. It increased in value dramatically. It seems it is now time for a correction.
BTT airdrop happened today. Momentum is for now temporarily over.

Eurus Energy America (San Diego), MORGENROT Inc (Tokyo) and WOODMAN Inc (Tokyo) announced that they will start providing distributed cloud-based CG rendering services to meet increasing demand for high-speed rendering from various industries such as content creation, industrial design, automotive, entertainment, and others.
Eurus Energy America is a subsidiary of Japan's leading renewable energy company, Eurus Energy Holdings (Tokyo), operating large scale wind and solar farms worldwide. Eurus Energy America will build a render farm within a wind farm and begin render services to customers globally in January 2020.
WOODMAN, a blockchain-based consulting firm, MORGENROT, a rendering service company, and AMD will provide Eurus Energy America with technical support. The rendering farm will use high-performance AMD Radeon(TM) GPUs, Ryzen(TM) processors and the AMD Radeon(TM) ProRender (RPR) engine, and utilize renewable power generated by the wind farm operated by Eurus Energy America.
This is the first example of clean, renewable energy used to power efficient, cloud-based rendering services with AMD Radeon ProRender technology.
The render farm key features are:
- AMD Radeon GPU-based rendering server cluster
- Server cluster built in a 20 feet standard shipping mobile data center container
- Equipped with fully-fledged air and temperature control
- Equipped with remote monitoring and supervisory system
- Capacity scaling can be done just adding more units of the container data center
"We are pleased to announce our entry into the render farm business, which is an ideal move for us to optimize our capacity for clean energy generation. We will work closely with MORGENROT, WOODMAN and AMD to further enhance our rendering service capacity," said Satoshi Takahata, President and CEO of Eurus Energy America Corp.
"MORGENROT offers cloud-based distributed rendering service, which is highly efficient and scalable for all creators who are hungry for more computing power as they need it. We are working closely with AMD to deploy AMD's latest technologies as soon as they are available in the market," says Shane Bennett, Director of MORGENROT USA.
"WOODMAN will work very closely with AMD and Eurus to establish a highly efficient cloud-based render farm powered by clean energy supplied by the Eurus wind farm. We feature AMD's Radeon GPUs and Radeon ProRender rendering engine in order to maximize the efficiency and cost performance of our rendering service to all customers who are hungry for more rendering power on-demand. We will start this service in September," said Shinjiro Ono, CEO of WOODMAN.
"This pioneers huge business potential of distributed cloud CG rendering service based on AMD GPUs and Radeon ProRender technology. The combination of renewable clean energy from the Eurus wind farm and AMD's highly efficient Radeon GPUs with 7nm technology is a perfect solution for power-hungry rendering customers worldwide," said Jorg Roskowetz, Head of Blockchain Technology BU, Director Product Management of AMD. We are pleased to establish the first distributed cloud-based render farm supported by clean energy."

I really, really want to read Gary Corby's debut novel, THE PERICLES COMMISSION. It's been getting wonderful reviews for its combination of mystery, humor and ancient history.
So I was very excited to read about a give-a-way contest for the book at:
But no, my better self has prevailed and so here I am, spreading the word about the contest after overcoming my heinous impulse toward selfishness.
What? You don't believe me? How dare you imply that I'm only doing this to improve my chances of winning!
Except, of course, that I am. Only posting this to help my chances to win, that is. And that's because the brilliant blogger at Hatshepsut: The Writing of A Novel, set up the contest this way. We get extra points for posting about the contest on twitter (done), following their blogs (yup), and posting about the contest on our own blogs (sigh).
Actually, I think I should get extra points for refusing to allow my beastly side to get in your face and hiss, "You better not win this book over me or I will CUT you!"
That deserves at least two extra points, don't you think? Wait...why are you backing away from me? I'm just kidding. Really. I swear.

Adriatic LNG seeking cargo for winter peak shaving service
Adriatic LNG, the company that operates the liquefied natural gas import terminal in the Adriatic Sea issued a single LNG cargo tender for next winter's peak shaving service.
The cargo between a minimum of 60,000 and a maximum of 70,000 cubic meters will be unloaded at the terminal located off the Veneto coastline, in the northern Adriatic Sea in the first half of December 2017, Adriatic LNG said.
The tender will close at the end of the morning of November 20, the company said in its statement.
Peak Shaving is aimed at making natural gas, previously stored in the form of LNG at the terminal, available to SNAM Rete Gas, in the first quarter of 2018, in order to meet possible peaks in demand during wintertime.
Since start-up in 2009, Adriatic LNG has received 545 carriers and delivered more than 46 billion cubic meters of gas to the national grid.
The terminal mainly imports LNG from the world's largest producer, Qatar, but has also received cargoes from Egypt, Trinidad and Tobago, Equatorial Guinea, Norway, Nigeria and the United States.

There are a few different ways we calculate the time students spend on Khan Academy. One way we calculate it is by estimating Total Minutes based on content consumed (e.g., watching an 8-minute video), the other is an estimate of the Time Active on site (e.g., 10:30 am-11:15 am).
- Although these two metrics are calculated differently, they are both designed to approximate the time a student spends actively learning. That means they attempt to exclude time a student may be surfing the web in another window, or changing their profile settings, but not penalize the students who may take longer to work out a problem.
- For this reason, we encourage you to use these calculations as a benchmark, but to be generous if students say they have been on the site for longer. If you think either of these times is being calculated incorrectly, please let us know by submitting a Help request.
Note: This article does not cover time calculated for SAT Practice. Information about time calculations for SAT Practice can be found here.
Total Minutes
Total Minutes is the sum of skills minutes, video minutes, and programming minutes. This, unfortunately, does not include time spent on articles or the LSAT/SAT test prep section (YET!).
- Skills minutes: approximate time spent practicing in missions, exercises in the library, or skill checks.
- Video minutes: approximate amount of time spent watching videos.
- Programming minutes: approximate time students are watching CS talk-throughs and working on programming challenges. This does not include time spent creating or playing one-off programs or games.
You can view these estimates by:
- Going to your Coach dashboard.
- Selecting a class.
- Clicking Progress.
- Clicking Student.
- Selecting an individual student, and viewing their individual Activity.
Under the clock icon on the left side of the screen, you can see the total time spent in the activity period. Your student each have a view of this same data (that also shows their energy points and badges earned) in the progress section of their profile.
Time Active
Time Active is designed to estimate the amount of time your students were active on Khan Academy; in other words, the time spent since they access their Khan Academy account and actively browse through the website (e.g., 10:30 am-11:15 am).
You can find this view by:
- Going to your Coach dashboard
- Selecting a class.
- Clicking the Activity tab.
This view approximates during what times your students were actively learning across all subjects on Khan Academy. In an effort to avoid students earning credit while they are surfing the web in another window, this tracker will time out after 10 minutes of inactivity. Your students do not have this view on their learner profile.
Discrepancies Between Measures
It is possible that you'll notice a discrepancy between a student's Total Minutes and Time Active. One explanation could be that the student is working on multiple exercises during the same timeframe. If a student spends 15 minutes working but is going back and forth between five different exercises during those 15 minutes, the Total Minutes that shows on the Coach dashboard may show 15 minutes for each exercise (75 minutes), while the Activity Time shows 15 minutes.
For more information on Khan Academy's Coach and Student Reports, search our Help Center.
