Mobile document scanning has become a heavily discussed topic throughout industries. In times where about 2.5 billion people worldwide own a smartphone, companies are eager to replace their old workflows through mobile technologies. Especially to provide services to customers outside of your company. Like every bank, insurance company and many hardware manufacturers already do. One workflow which occurs across all markets and industries is the mobile detection and processing of documents.
The changing market of scanners
Since the introduction of photocopy machines little has changed with scanners. They are still fragile mechanical devices that will only generate optimized pictures from documents. They are not smart and don't understand what you scanned and how to proceed.
The new state of the art is scanning with smartphones. All consumer smartphones need good cameras to sell. It's a key differentiator in the industry. No wonder that companies like Apple and Samsung talk about their latest camera technologies in every single product presentation. This is a big advantage for mobile document scanning because the sharpness and clarity of the cameras have increased tremendously. Moreover, scanning just takes a split-second. A smartphone is a smart device by name, and you can write software for it that does things only a laptop was capable of before. The open platforms of iOS and Android made that possible.
The downsides of former scanning solutions
Existing hardware scanner solutions often use the same settings for decades and can't follow the fast developments of mobile scanning. The files they generate are optimized for the human eye. However, modern workflows require more resolution, better pre-processing filters, and a smart compression to make document automation a reality. Low-quality scans will negatively affect and hinder further processing steps. Moreover, you have expensive service contracts for scanners and have to deal with integrated hard- and software which is out of your control, while the devices usually have full access to your internal network.
While we praise mobile document scanning, a "simple" smartphone photo is by far not enough. However you take the picture, there'll always be a visible background like a table. It will be slightly rotated and skewed, and probably you'll see shadows on it. Also, if the focus and scan position is not on point, text near the corners of a photo might be blurry. Moreover, the resolution will be reduced when the document is too small in the picture.
A loss of detail can never be salvaged in a later stage and will negatively affect all future document automation. The only solution to combine the flexibility of a smartphone with the quality of a hardware scanner is a dedicated mobile document scanning SDK.
What is a (document scanning) Software Development Kit?
A document scanning SDK is a software solution which enables the integration of document scanning functionalities into existing mobile applications. It works like a module or plug-in that you can easily integrate and that provides a given set of features. The Scanbot SDK, for example, comes with a ready-to-use user interface to capture documents, a text recognition, data extraction of QR codes, barcodes, MRZ and much more. Through the use of an SDK, you eliminate high investments in specialized hardware. Or the immense cost and time to develop everything on your own.
How does mobile document scanning work?
Highly sophisticated algorithms take you from start to finish of a scan in seconds. The Scanbot SDK automates as much as possible to produce excellent results in every situation:
- The document will be detected in the camera frame in real-time. A smart user interface guides you into the perfect scan position
- The photo will be taken automatically. Then the document will be cropped, and smart filters will make it look bright and sharp
- The result can be saved as image or PDF. Our detectors can extract text and data from QR codes, barcodes, MRZ and more
Why smartphones?
The smartphone revolution started when the first mobile data flat rates made it possible to be online 24/7. Smartphones bring the company together in real-time with task tracking, video conferencing or business chat apps. However, they're not only great for communication. Enterprise apps are beginning to transform workflows and start to replace PCs. The sophisticated operating systems of iOS and Android smartphones allow you to run your own software. And also offer security features like hardware encryption, iris or fingerprint scanners. The powerful hardware is even able to perform computationally intensive tasks. For the provided benefits they are affordable and easy to replace or upgrade.
The benefits of scanning mobile
Everyone, from your employees in or outside the office and your customers all around the world, can now scan documents and transfer them in real-time and on-demand. This gives you a competitive and organizational advantage. It speeds up many workflows where you would have to wait for the information to arrive. Moreover, the technology even allows you to detect and process the data of those documents. So that you can automate workflows and react instantly. Since you're in full control of the software and modern mobile document scanning SDKs work 100% offline, you never have to fear a security breach which is caused by a 3rd party.
Would you like to know more about it? Then talk to a solution expert. We would love to give you a short SDK demo and discuss your specific use case in detail. Find out how our mobile document scanner SDK can help you increase efficiency and customer satisfaction while decreasing costs and effort on your end.

Bay Area Hip Hop meets Grassroots Activism
In the spirit of fellowship in Bay Area music, BFF.fm was stoked to invite Oakland's nonprofit HipHop4Change for an on-air interview. Earlier this month, The Sunny and Skeptical Air Show featured their Education Director, Marlon Richardson, who shared in revitalizing depth the belief that "Hip Hop is a vanguard of the spiritual and political revolution of humankind." This organization strives to help our communities unlearn the oppressive perceptions toward Hip Hop that is perpetuated by the corporate music industry. HipHop4Change uses grassroots activism, informing local neighborhoods about problematic perceptions about People of Color and in turn promotes solutions through Hip Hop culture. Marlon's role and the organization's mission is to persistently engage with the community in advocating Hip Hop as a means of illuminating social awareness in a way that empowers and honors artists. To say in the very least, this group serves as the beacon for which our collective consciousness has a continued need. They nourish a liberating counter-narrative to the mainstream media's negative portrayals of People of Color in Hip Hop music and culture, by using its platform to inform and uplift.
One of the main pillars of HipHop4Change is their education outreach in Bay Area schools for K-12 students, providing a curriculum entitled "Theory of Hip-Hop Evolution, Music and Culture." It is a 6-week program that allows students to learn the historical and cultural significance of Hip Hop as an envoy for racial tolerance, multiculturalism, diversity, and inclusion. The students take part in beat making and rapping workshops that by the end of the program allows them the opportunity to perform their work before a school-wide audience. This program has conducted over 200 workshops and so far has impacted approximately 12,000 students. Find more information about the program here.
Some examples of the organization's revolutionizing ethos are manifested in the work of the following Bay Area Hip Hop artists that we highly recommend to queue in your music library… (and check out more local artists here)
"Rent Money" featuring Rocky Rivera
Maddy "MADlines" Clifford
"Free Me Fast" featuring Black Achilles
Hazel Rose
"Fake President"
Khafre Jay
(*Founder and Executive Director of HipHop4Change)
"Black Y'all"
Nu Dekades
"Thieves Theme"
Many thanks to Marlon for dropping by The Secret Alley! In keeping with Star Wars axioms, "Many of the truths that we cling to depend on our point of view." So, may we shape how we listen to music with a willingness to improve perception through education, compassion, and in celebration of the infinitely unique voices in Hip Hop.
Learn more about HipHop4Change, including how to make a donation and volunteer. Listen to the interview with Marlon at The Secret Alley here.
Upcoming events & other places you can find HipHop4Change
- September 29th, Marlon Richardson's free public lecture at Holy Names University in Oakland Hills
- December 9th, HipHop4Change and Sierra Club present The Third Annual Environmental Equity Summit featuring Talib Kweli
- Radio program on Sundays from noon-3pm, KPOO-FM 89.5


text: PC44 ferrite powder is same as our TP44 ferrite powder. TP44 material is a power MnZn ferrite powder developed on the basis of TP40 material. Its material initial permeability is 2400±25%. The core has high initial permeability. It has the characteristics of high temperature, low loss and high saturation flux density. Under the high temperature point of 100℃, the loss of the materials is lower than TP40 materials, which can be as low as 350 mW/cm³. Lower power loss is good for reducing the temperature rise of the inductance and transformer ,which has smaller calorific value. For some power supply equipment with relatively closed working environment and higher working temperature, the magnetic core made of TP44 material can more effectively reduce the calorific value of inductance transformer, reduce the interference to the working temperature of peripheral electronic components, which can more effectively extend the working life of power supply. It is suitable for making ferrite core of various shapes, which is generally used for making all kinds of high-grade transformers. The transformer made of magnetic core of TP44 material can reduce the temperature rise and can effectively solve the heat dissipation problem caused by product structure. It is widely applied in a variety of inductors and switching power transformers, main power transformers and driver transformers.

We all have vital records, but can you quickly and easily locate them in the event of an emergency? Vital records are my version of doomsday prepping without the bunker and 50 gallon drum of wheat. Read on to break down what you should include and how I organize it all.
Grad yourself a few inexpensive supplies and you'll be on the road to peace of mind in no time. Here's what I use:
Putting It All Together
Divide your life into categories. I use (1) Personal, (2) Home & Auto, (3) Insurance, and (4) Financial Records. Using your multi-colored notecards, assign a specific color to each category (I like to use notecards because I find it easier to make a change or addition without having to redo everything). Now what? Never fear friends, I wouldn't leave you hanging. Within your categories on individual notecards (of the same color) I recommend including the following. Once you fill out a notecard slip it into a photo pocket page. If you are including a full-sized piece of paper use one of the sheet protectors. (Store extra notecards in a zippered pouch to make updates faster!)
This section is for you and the members of your household. Be sure to includes names, addresses, and phone numbers.
- Emergency Contacts
- Work Contacts
- School or Daycare – include billing information and any logins
- Doctor Contacts
- Prescriptions – name of medication, where it's filled and if on auto-fill
- Immunization Cards
- Veterinarian
- Marriage License
- Birth Certificates
- Social Security Cards
- Copy of Drivers License
- Passports
- Copy of your will/trust or storage location and contact information
Home & Auto
This section consists of all of your bills. Be sure to include the company name and contact information, the name the account is under, account #, any website login information, and billing information (such as billing cycle and autopay setup)
- Utilities
- Pest or Lawn Service
- Mortgage/Title
- Home Owners Association
- Auto Loan
- Auto Title
This section is for recording all insurance information. Be sure to include insurance provider name (company and agent), contact information, name of policy holder, policy #, any website login information, and billing information (such as billing cycle and autopay setup). I also recommend creating a home inventory. It could be a detailed list or pictures saved to a thumb drive and stored in a zippered pouch along with an extra set of house keys.
- Homeowner's or Rental Policy
- Umbrella Policy
- Auto Policy
- Healthcare Policy
- Flexible Spending Account
- Life Insurance Policy
Financial Records
This section should contain information for all of your financial accounts. Be sure to include the company name and contact information, the name the account is under, account #, any website login information, and billing information
- Banking
- Credit Cards
- Investments
- Retirement Accounts
- College Savings Accounts
I know this seems like a lot….and it is. Our lives are messy and complicated. But if something were to happen to you or a member of your family, would you be able to easily take care of the day to day while dealing with the stress of an emergency situation or grief of death? Death, hospitalization, and disaster is a heavy burden, but you can make it a little bit easier with up-to-date vital records. And don't forget to store them in a fire safe!

Many manuscripts that were produced in the monastic and court scriptoria have been destroyed; those that remain date largely from the fifteenth century onward. These include service books, Gospels, psalters, Apocalypses and devotional books with texts of the Miracles of the Virgin, written in the classical Ethiopian language of Ge'ez, a Semitic language. While the earliest preserved Ethiopian manuscript, the Abba Garima Gospels of the late twelfth to early thirteenth centuries, is not illustrated, other Gospel books are extensively decorated. Some of this decoration can be related to other Eastern Christian traditions. Characteristic of Ethiopian illumination is the harag, the system of interlacing bands which frame the page, coloured in reds, greens, yellows and grey-blues. These were particularly finely painted in manuscripts of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, especially at the Monastery of Gunda Gundi in Agame, the centre of the 'Hstifanosite movement in the fifteenth century. The designs were simplified thereafter, to undergo a revival in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The harag bears a similarity to Coptic and Syriac as well as Byzantine illumination.
Decorated Eusebian canon tables head Ethiopian Gospel books, especially those of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, in common with other Eastern Christian Gospel books. Those from the Monastery of Gunda Gundi can be differentiated by the use they make of a more architectural framing device. Ethiopian Gospel books also conform with Eastern Christian practice in including portraits of each Evangelist, as well as scenes from the life of Christ. One such example is a large Gospel book in the British Library (London B.L. Or. 510). The manuscript was written in the court at Gondar in 1664-5, in the official Gwelh script, probably for the Emperor Yohannes I and the Empress Sabla Wangel. Its illustrations are painted in the style known as the 'First Gondarene style', which uses clear, bright colours, especially yellow, orange-red and blue, on the figures' garments; the figures are animated by their gestures and eye contact with one another (see fol. 51r, the Healing of the Two Blind Men, illustrating Matt. 9: 27-31, in Figure 19.13). The arrangement of the figures and the neutral ground is also influenced by western woodcuts, specifically those of the Arabic Gospels, the Evangelium arabicum, printed in Rome in 1591 for Pope Gregory XIII.
By introducing the cult of the Mother of God into Ethiopia the Emperor Zar'a Ya'qob intended to create a focus of Ethiopian spirituality at a time of internal rupture (caused by the attempt to reduce practice of Sabbath worship), in 1441. The reading of the text of Miracles of Mary (Taamra Maryam), which had been translated into Ge'ez from Arabic under his father Emperor Dawit (r. 1382-1413), was introduced into the liturgy at this time. This stimulated the drive for images of the Virgin in both icon and manuscript painting. The most famous icon painter of the fifteenth century is Fere Seyon. His signature on an icon at Daga 'Hstifanos enables further panels to be attributed to him, including those in the collection of the Institute of Ethiopian Studies in Addis Ababa. The formula of the image of the Virgin and Child flanked by the archangels Michael and Gabriel is adapted in each case to accommodate accompanying scenes and saints. Elements of the iconography can be examined with reference to Zar'a Ya'qob's own theological writing on the Virgin.
Another shift is the introduction of western elements, including a sprig of flowers held by the Virgin in one of the Addis Ababa panels, a motif borrowed from Italian panel painting. Zar'a Ya'qob was determined to prevent the 'Hstifanosite movement from undermining the Church-state that he had fostered. Devotion to the Virgin, however, overrode spiritual and political differences, as the pictorial imagery shows.
For example, St Antony with the Virgin and Child (Figure 19.14), is to be found in a manuscript dated after 1480 from Gunda Gundi, now in the New York Public Library (Spencer Collection 7) of the Lives of two saints of the movement, 'Hstifanos and Aba-kerazun. Later images were added to the repertoire. One such was the Virgin of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, introduced into Ethiopia by Portuguese Jesuits in the later seventeenth century, and thereafter frequently reproduced there.
Of the liturgical objects kept in Ethiopian churches, crosses are especially famed. Made of silver bronze or copper, some were, and still are, for processional use, and during ceremonies are held aloft on poles on to which coloured fabric is attached. An example of a processional cross is one now in the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore (no. 54.2894, Figure 19.15), probably dating to the fifteenth century. Its four-lobed shape contains a repeating design of small crosses with serpents at the edges. The pierced work, enabling silhouetting against natural or candle light, was particularly effective and appropriate for processional use. The feature of the projecting semicircular arms at the base of the cross also occur on a processional cross given by the Emperor Zar'a Ya'qob to the monastery at Dabra Nagwadgwad in Tagwela in central Ethiopia. The serpents represent wisdom and can be associated with the serpent made of brass by Moses. The cross is made of bronze that was cast according to the lost wax technique, whereby the image is first made in wax, then coated with clay to form a mould into which the molten metal is poured, replacing the wax. Other crosses were used as hand crosses for blessing by the clergy. Pilgrims and monks in particular wore crosses around the neck. Crosses display interlace designs not unlike those of Coptic woven leather crosses made in monasteries in Egypt to the present day. These designs are also repeated on the more widely-available wooden crosses.

I have made this many times & my whole family loves it! I always add a little bit of extra salsa & cook the turkey with some chopped spicy pepper like a jalapeno to give it a little more kick.

Great recipe! Not too hard to make and super flavorful! It's been a few years since I have made these beauties but as I scrolled through my saved recipes I found myself desperately desiring these lovelies.

Everyone in the house loves this one, even the picky 5-year-old. There's rarely leftovers, and if there are, the husband and I fight over who gets to take them to work the next day.

I've made this recipe a few times. Love the spices and taste, but to combat the dryness I add about a 1/2 cup to 1 cup of taco sauce to the turkey mixture. This definetely helped and tastes great.

I'm always looking for new recipes to shake up my weeknight dinner rut. This one is a keeper! I can't wait to make it again!
May 19, 2011
I think the reason these won a contest is because they are unique. My husband and I liked them OK, but not enough for me to bother to make again. As far as the topping goes, it was unusual but not at all objectionable. We had these with guacamole on the side, which really helped with the dryness and made the dish more tasty overall.

Loved the cilantro sauce on top very tasty.

Anyone familiar with trying to schedule staff knows that it's no easy task. The level of complexity seems to grow exponentially with each staff member added to the mix. Mistakes on your staff schedule can lead to unhappy employees, frustrated managers, and lots of creative names for the creator of said schedule.
Conversely, successfully creating a schedule that satisfies staffing needs and everyone's requests and availability typically goes unnoticed. As a result, sitting down to create a functional schedule brings joy to very few people. To that end, many software solutions saturate the market in an effort to make scheduling easier. Finding a good solution can be difficult, but Microsoft has decided to lend a hand through Microsoft Teams.
Shifts in Microsoft Teams
Part 1 of Microsoft's solution is Shifts. Shifts will be released soon within the Teams app. Managers can use Shifts to create, update, and manage schedules for all employees. Additionally, managers will be able to inform employees about open or unfilled shifts to see if anyone wants to pick that shift up.
On the reverse side, employees can update their availability, request shifts, swap shifts, submit requests for time off, and even offer a shift to another employee. Managers can review all of these requests and approve or deny as desired. All of this functionality can happen right on your phone.
Home in Microsoft Teams
Home will work in conjunction with Shifts and function as a central hub for all staff. Once enabled, Home is the first thing displayed upon opening Teams. From here, employees can view their shift schedules, clock in or out, and see who else is working the same shift. Managers can also post announcements that will be displayed immediately on Home.
Included with Office 365
The best part about Shifts and Home is the price. Once released, it will be included at no additional charge with any Office 365 subscription that includes Microsoft Teams. If you're already using Teams, then it's just a matter of enabling these features.
Don't go rushing off to find them just yet. Shifts and Home are currently in Early Release and aren't available to the general public at this time. Microsoft simply states the official release window as "soon". Their previous solution, StaffHub, will be retired on October 1, 2019. If you're currently using StaffHub, Shifts and Home is the natural replacement "soon".

At times we see an obsession with denying any pre-eminence to the human person; more zeal is shown in protecting other species than in defending the dignity which all human beings share in equal measure... it is clearly inconsistent to combat trafficking in endangered species while remaining completely indifferent to human trafficking, unconcerned about the poor, or undertaking to destroy another human being deemed unwanted... concern for the environment thus needs to be joined to a sincere love for our fellow human being and an unwavering commitment to resolve the problems of society.

with Ken Pauly,
Benilde-St. Margaret's School (MN) Head Coach;
2012 Mariucci Award winner as Minnesota's Class AA Coach of the Year;
3x State Champions; 10x Conference Champions; over 400 career wins
and Tom Klein,
Benilde-St. Margaret's School (MN) Assistant Coach/Goalies
Goaltending is arguably the most important deciding factor in games and championships, yet coaches often overlook it at practice. Most head coaches are not goalies themselves and don't understand how to teach the position. Many coaches focus more energy on their forwards and defensemen and simply throw their goalies into drills without much instruction.
Ken Pauly and assistant coach Tom Klein offer a simple and effective set of tools that will yield big dividends over the course of a season. You'll see excellent goalie-specific drills that can be incorporated into any practice. You'll also get guidelines on how to inspire your goalies to improve during games and to compete more effectively.
6 Goalie Priorities
Coaches Pauly and Klein outline a series of drills for mastering six specific goalie movement priorities and puck stopping techniques. These priorities include
In practice, Pauly and Klein constantly work on keeping their goalies on their feet when passes go across their face. Often times, goalies drop down on the pass and are not square to the puck on the shot - leaving the top corners and the five hole open. Get a drill that simulates an attack from two different angles that will train your goalies to stay on their feet and in good position to stop the shot. You can break the habit of making one "style" the primary save option - "a pass never beats you, but a shot does."
Practice Drills
Many times goalies are simply thrown into drills and bombarded with shots, which doesn't help them properly work on their skills. Coaches Pauly and Klein explain how to utilize the space you have no matter how big or small in order to give goaltenders the chance to develop the "specific skills" unique to modern goaltending.
The coaches outline a warm-up for the goalie, utilizing the space in the neutral zone to work on movement and tracking the puck, point shot drills, incorporating the second goalie into drills, 5-on-2 drills and the impact hockey ultimate tip in drill.
You'll not only learn practice drills, but equally important practice theory so you can hear how to maintain practice flow, capture the attention of all players on the ice, and create exciting game scenarios for your team.
Game Night
In this segment, Coach Pauly shows you how to challenge your goalies to play their best. This entails stopping all the shots you should, stopping most of the hard ones, and stealing one or two once in a while. He challenges his goalies to play well even when the rest of the team isn't.
Your team's success or failure is dependent on the play of your goaltenders. If a team has solid goaltending, they're more likely to have a higher winning percentage. Coach Pauly sets forth a simple, specific plan to spend more time developing goalies during practice.

Each trimester we will highlight an LCRC Staff Member. Join us in getting to know Rachel M.
What is your title at LCRC? Advocate. Recently, I have been hired as the new sexual assault advocate.
What does that entail? Addressing safety concerns and taking appropriate measures to protect our clients and their families. Assisting clients in gaining access to additional information and resources within the community. Completing orders for protection and/or harassment restraining orders and offering additional legal advocacy, per a client's request. Coordinating referrals and appointments within the community on behalf of clients. Providing crisis intervention which may include assessing a client's mental, physical, and emotional health, personal safety and security, or other basic needs. In addition, I meet clients at the emergency room after a sexual assault or domestic violence incident.
How long have you been with LCRC? Three years ago I worked in the shelter part-time as a resident assistant while attending college. I came back to Mary's Place part time about a year ago and began doing advocacy full-time.
What is the most rewarding part of your job? The kiddos! I love interacting with the children and watching them grow as they start to gain a sense of safety and security. It's amazing!
What is the most challenging part of your job? It's bittersweet, but the most challenging part for me would be watching the clients move on to the next step in their lives. After working so closely with individuals, you begin to bond and connect with them. They become a huge part of your life. You want nothing but the very best for them. They deserve it!
What is your background? I graduated from Concordia College in 2014 with a degree in psychology and minor in neuroscience. Throughout my college years, I did various types of volunteer work within different areas of human services. After graduation, I worked at Prairie St. John's for 2+ years. I took a break from the field for a few years and went to work on the family farm for about 1.5+ years. Now , I'm back in the field and enjoy every minute of it.

text: The concept for this 2003 video sees the Nesian boys preparing for a party while snapping and sharing (probably then-expensive) 'pixt' photos of each other and the Mystik people in their lives. The perils of public snoozing in the mobile age are shown. As music video aficionado Robyn Gallagher has noted elsewhere, this snap happy, pre-smartphone video nearly anticipates that in the future, "an entire music video will be able to be shot on a phone camera." 'For the People' was a Top 10 single from Nesian Mystik's hit album Polysaturated.

Recently we've seen Wendy Williams out her living her best life with a new beau, but not too much is known about the man we've seen her with until now.
His name is Marc Tomblin, he's a 27-year-old fashion designer and has served prison time for conspiracy to commit armed robbery with a dangerous weapon.
Now if you're thinking that Wendy is in for trouble, don't, because she knows about his past.
Wendy broke down the situation by saying, "Look, my husband had a full baby with a woman he was involved with for 15 years …where I was cooped up only to be a show pony. Now, I'm living my life."

Many people who claim to be 'doing Atkins' are way off beam. Read his books, especially Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution, to be sure you're doing Atkins the right way.

Safe Driving Tips for Winter Visitors Doing Long Distance Road Trips to Arizona
Any long trip has the potential to be dangerous over the winter months. Inclement weather, poor visibility, shorter daylight hours, and holiday traffic congestion can all lead to disastrous accidents for unwary drivers. Arizona is a popular destination during the winter months, thanks to the state's warm climate and clear skies, and many people may visit their families in Arizona for the winter holidays. Arizona residents may also trek outside the state over the winter. All drivers should know some basic safety tips for safe winter driving.
Safety Tips For Traveling Arizonans
If you plan to leave Arizona over the winter it's crucial to prepare and know a few tips for long drives. Arizona typically has some of the highest average temperatures year-round in the United States, so unless you plan to visit another Southern state like Florida or Texas, it's best to prepare for colder weather.
Some Arizona cars may not drive as smoothly in colder temperatures, and it may be necessary to check your vehicle's oil and fluids before any holiday road trip. Some cars may need fuel additives to prevent water accumulation in fuel lines, while others may need to replace their coolant or other vehicle fluids. Proper vehicle maintenance* should be at the very top of any road trip checklist.
Visiting The East Coast Or Northern U.S.
If you plan to visit a colder region over the winter, be sure to dress appropriately for the drive. During the first few hours of your trip north the temperature may start dropping more quickly than you expect. Pack accordingly for the area you plan to visit and make sure you have directions before leaving. There are countless GPS devices, smartphone navigation apps, and other tools available for finding your way. Assign one of your passengers as the navigator so you can focus on driving.
Be sure to bring an emergency road kit with flares and warning cones, and check the quality of your spare tire before hitting the road. You may also want to bring a brush and/or ice scraper to use during your visit to the colder states.
Traveling To Canada
If you plan to visit Canada you will certainly need to prepare for cold temperatures. Canada experiences generally low temperatures throughout the year, so Arizonans may be in for a shock after living under the harsh Southwestern sun. Any drivers leaving the U.S. should also prepare their passports and other necessary travel documents well in advance of their trips.
Tips For Visiting Arizona In The Winter
Drivers from across the country visiting Arizona for the winter can look forward to warm temperatures, clear weather, and lots of fun in the sun. No matter where you're starting your Arizona road trip, be sure that your vehicle is ready to handle hot weather. Have your mechanic check your tire quality, vehicle fluids, and airflow systems to make sure the hot and dry climate doesn't stifle vehicle performance. Damaged tires can also blow out on hot road surfaces, especially at higher speeds on the highway.
Like any other road trip, the best travel tips for visiting Arizona are all about preparation. If you plan to drive alone, make sure you give yourself adequate time to rest before each driving session and avoid eating behind the wheel and other distractions.
Avoid Distracted Driving
Even experienced drivers can cause serious accidents from distracted driving**. Some of the most common types of distracted driving that can cause serious accidents include:
- Eating. Even using just one hand to eat or drink while driving can have disastrous consequences.
- Talking and passenger distractions. Children can become restless during long road trips, so make sure kids have games or books or movies to keep them occupied in the car if possible. Avoid serious conversations or topics that may cause an argument on the road. If a driver's temper flares, he or she may look away from the road at the worst possible moment.
- Texting and cell phone use. By far the most dangerous form of distracted driving is texting behind the wheel. Texting requires you to look at the screen and away from the road and use your hands to type a message instead of operating the vehicle. Have a passenger handle your phone or simply leave it on silent mode while driving.
A distracted driving accident can easily ruin an Arizona road trip and the entire holiday season, so be sure to remove distractions and stay focused at all times behind the wheel.
Possible Highlights Of Your Winter Arizona Trip
Even if you don't have family in Arizona, there are countless sights and places to visit that make Arizona a fantastic winter road trip destination. Make a road trip checklist of destinations you'd like to see like the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, or Sedona. No matter where you go in Arizona, anyone who hates the cold will enjoy the relief from winter temperatures in Arizona's warm and dry climate.
Special Tips For Pet Owners Traveling This Winter
Pet owners have special considerations to make for their dogs, cats, and other furry friends who may travel with the family for an Arizona road trip. It is never wise to allow any pet to sit unrestrained in the cabin of a vehicle. Small dogs and cats may become excited and interfere with the driver's ability to maintain control of the vehicle. Find an appropriately-sized crate or kennel for your pet so it can travel safely. If an accident happens, a small pet will stand a much better chance of survival in a secure crate rather than flying through the cabin of the vehicle.
Long road trips can be taxing, so make sure you build a realistic itinerary if you plan to visit Arizona from far away or are heading far outside of the state this winter. Vehicle maintenance should always be the first item on any road trip checklist regardless of the destination, but it's also essential to prepare for the weather at your destination and variable driving conditions.

|Review: Esquizofrenia - La orden del castigo
|La orden del castigo
Label: Independent
Year released: 2012
Duration: 12:02
Tracks: 3
Genre: Death/Thrash
Rating: 3.75/5
Review online: October 21, 2018
Reviewed by: Luxi Lahtinen
for:La orden del castigo
Colombian Deathrashers Esquizofrenia, formed in 2003, have been keeping themselves busy. With three full-length studio albums, a couple of EPs, split releases and demos on their recording roster so far, one could say that they are a relatively established name in the Colombian underground Metal scene.
La Orden del Castigo is the title of the band's first EP, featuring three songs. The music in here takes slices from early Sepultura and early Death, being almost addictively fast paced, and coming with tons of killer Schuldiner-ish riffs that seem to steal the entire show. Anderson Alvarez, handling both drums and vocals, brings young Max Cavalera to mind vocally: angry, hostile and just fuckin' mean. The songs are sung entirely in Spanish, so if you don't understand Spanish, you shouldn't really worry about it because these lads' well played and aggressive music really makes up for it.
South America's got another winner again... good stuff.

Saudi Financial Reserves Grow to Record Levels
Saudi nabbed third spot in terms of financial reserves, coming in behind China and Japan with $541 billion in assets at the close of last year. The kingdom's assets surged due to rising oil output and prices.
SAMA controls Saudi's gold and cash reserves and reported a surge of almost 21.5 percent from 2010 to 2012. China came in with $3.2 trillion and Japan reported $1.3 trillion, according to statements made by Fadi Al Ajjaji, economist.
Saudi Arabian reserves were more than 170 percent of the reserves under the control of all Euro members. On a global scale, at the end of 2001 Saudi reserves accounted for 0.8 percent of total global reserves. That figure jumped to 5.1 percent by the close of 2011. Preliminary figures report a rise to 6.16 percent by the close of last year and forecasts state the reserves will continue to grow, reaching 6.5 percent by the end of this year.
Oil export earnings peaked around SR 1.24tr, resulting in a substantial SR 374bn budget surplus. Average oil prices for 2012 went above $100 per barrel, almost 50 percent higher than the crude price required to break even.
Crude output in Saudi also rose to a record high 9.8 million barrels per day annual average. That figure is 0.5 million above the previous year's average.
The asset gain recorded in 2012 is the second largest gain in four years, since a 50 percent spike in crude prices back in 2008 resulted in a surge of SR 513bn. Assets rose by SR 352bn in 2011 and SR 135bn in 2010, both significantly lower than the 2012 growth.
Driven by robust oil prices, the Kingdom announced record high budgetary figures of SR 820bn for this year. Analysts forecast that actual spending will far surpass levels seen in previous years. Saudi's budget reports revenues of SR 829bn and an SR 9 billion budget surplus.
Private Sector Output Swells in the UAE
The section of the UAE's private sector that does not produce oil recorded higher levels of output in April, continuing an expansion trend from the previous month.
New orders rose significantly, and employment levels increased at a rapid pace not seen in the last two years. The rate of increase decreased to the slowest levels of the last twelve months.
The HSBC UAE PMI rates the service and manufacturing sectors' performance and dropped from 54.3 in March to 54 in April. The PMI also indicated that operating conditions will continue to improve across the UAE. This data continues the trend of improvement seen in the last 44 successive reports, although the most recent reading was the lowest recorded in five periods of the survey.
HSBC's Chief Economist for MENA, Simon Williams, noted that the recent solid results indicates an economy sticking to the same momentum.
Levels of output in the non-oil private sector of the UAE continued to rise in the most recent survey period. Higher numbers of incoming new businesses and enhanced market conditions supported the most recent rises in output, according to the panellists involved.
April figures for order book volumes rose, although the pace is slower than other points in the year. Enhanced efforts from sales teams and positive market conditions have driven the growth of new work, according to the panellists. Reports of sluggish conditions in export markets have resulted in slower growth rates in new business from abroad.
Private sector firms in the UAE reported for the second month that outstanding business levels have dropped, linking the lower levels of work-in-hand with bringing on new staff and improving efficiency levels. Delivery times for suppliers improved, as per recent patterns. Unreliable reports indicated that improved levels in average lead times were a result of quicker payments and long-term supplier relationships.
Employment levels also rose in April, and job creation rates sped up to a high not seen in two years. April's overall input price levels came in higher and rose sharper than the previous month's rate. Purchase prices rose as a result of general inflation, and staff cost inflation rates sped up. The output prices recorded in the non-oil private sector of the UAE dropped for the second month in a row.
Results from the new export orders index indicated that new exports are set to increase. This increase was a result of enhanced marketing efforts and expansions in some firms, based on subjective evidence.
Williams noted his concern for the softer export reading, but stated that strong results in new orders, employment and output pointed to overall growth of about 4 percent for 2013, with Dubai leading in performance.
First Quarter Profits Double for Dubai Investments
Dubai Financial Market's largest listed investment firm, Dubai Investments, reported first quarter profits surged 97 percent this year, reaching Dh 211 million.
The investment firm posted a profit of Dh 107 million in the first quarter of 2011.
Consolidated total income for Q1 came in at Dh 649 million, higher than Q1 2011 figures of Dh 566 million. At the end of March, total assets came in at Dh 12.5 billion, and net worth rose to Dh 8.7 billion.
Restatements of assets and liabilities came after deconsolidation of joint ventures, yet had little impact on net worth or profitability of Dubai Investments. The annual rate for return on share capital reached 23.6 percent in the first quarter, significantly higher than the full year rate of 9.0 percent for 2012.
Dubai Investment's CEO and Managing Director Khalid Kalban stated that every sector of the firm's business contributed to the growth reported, although real estate performed "exceptionally well." A positive market sentiment and overall economic growth presented good opportunities for the company's diversified business base. Dubai Investments continue to monitor marketplace developments, aiming to capitalize on the opportunities available.
Kalban noted that outlook for the balance of 2013 excites management, who continue to work on divestments forecasted to result in healthy returns in the future. A Sukuk valued at $300 million is in the finalization stages before issuance, planned by a Dubai Investments subsidiary.Paul Holdsworth, Staff Writer, Gulf Jobs Market News
