The Top 5 Family Getaways in California
It's summer. The temperature is rising, the kids are home and you got vacation days lined up. So what do you do with them? We got you covered with all the best family getaways in California, just focus on relaxing.
Starting off strong, and probably to the surprise of nobody, Los Angeles is first on the list.
Despite not being the state capital LA is undeniably the mecca of California; the center of entertainment, a huge food culture, inside a beautiful city.
With that being said there's no doubt LA would be an ideal getaway spot for you and your family. During your stay, you'll have world-famous attractions like Hollywood, and Santa Monica pier as well as renowned places to eat all within your grasp.
Stay downtown, right in the thick of the excitement, within walking distance of the Grand Station Market and The Last Bookstore. Or opt for an Airbnb to experience life in LA like a local, away from the tourist hustle and bustle.
Either way, LA is sure to supply you and your family with the getaway experience you're looking for.
2) San Diego
San Diego is another popular city and family getaway destination in Southern California, with its own unique charm. Located on the coast of the Pacific, San Diego is famous for its great weather, beaches, and parks.
Amongst those parks is Legoland, one of only two in the US and home to all things Lego; featuring not only a theme park but also a waterpark to help beat the heat. Outside theme park type of excitement, you can defer to visit Balboa Park, a 1,200-acre urban cultural park.
Balboa has a lot to offer; from vast open space areas, gardens, museums, performing arts, walking paths, and it even houses the world-famous San Diego Zoo.
Beyond that, there's Belmont Park, a historic park that first opened in 1925 right on Mission Beach. Enjoy the coasters and then enjoy a dip in the ocean or vice versa. Either way you spin it, you just can't lose in San Diego.
3) San Francisco
Like LA, San Francisco needs no introduction. The city has come to be known as the hub of the tech world, home to Silicon Valley; but make no mistake it's an ideal place to spend a vacation as well.
Besides the Bay Area offering you tech, it also offers an arsenal of ways to be entertained; visit the Golden State Bridge and have a photo opt or check out Alcatraz island and take a tour of one of the most infamous prisons ever.
The Golden Gate Park is another must-go location when you're in SF. The park is very similar to NY's central park, to which it is often compared, and consisting of 1,017 acres of public grounds.
The park is an absolute treat and within it, you can find the beautiful Japanese Tea Garden, several lakes and even an archery range amongst plenty of other amenities.
Depending on when you decide to visit SF, it's possible for you to even participate in Eat Drink S; a food festival where you can eat until you drop.
This year the festival takes on Saturday, August 24th. So if you're interested, don't forget to plan your stay around that time and get your tickets asap.
4) Orange County
The OC or Orange County is home to arguably the biggest attraction in all of California, Disneyland. Disneyland not to be mistaken with Disneyworld in Florida, is the first Disney park ever initiated, the original.
Enjoy all things Disney as a whole family and caught up in the magic; I don't have to sell Disney to you, you already know the deal, just go have fun. Despite the prominence that Disneyland has, it isn't the only park in the OC.
There's also Knott's Berry Farm, a lesser-known park but no less exciting or worth the trip. The park is more centered around giving visitors the thrills Disney lacks, with rollercoasters in abundance as opposed to character interactions and kid-friendly attractions.
So if the thrills are more your speed, then OC's Knott's Berry Farm is for you. The OC like the other aforementioned locations has its own beaches like Newport Beach; a coastal city in southern California is known for its large, boat-filled harbor.
With everything Orange County has to offer, making a decision on a family getaway in California only gets harder.
5) Yosemite
Lastly, we have Yosemite, probably the most uncommon idea for a California vacation thanks to the previously mentioned locations.
Regardless, this trip would be more than worth your while and will reward you for taking the road less traveled. In Yosemite Valley, you'll find the perfect place to get away from it all.
Stay at the Majestic Hotel and surround yourself with California's natural beauty like Half Dome, a famous climbing spot or the iconic view of Glacier Point.
Even though you're isolated from the hustle and bustle of the cities, you're not far from the fun. The National Park offers its visitors several guided hikes to breathtaking views, natural wonders, and recreational areas.
If this sounds like your ideal family getaway in California, book it quick you don't want to miss it.

The tumultuous history of the Kuna people tells us about a proud race, survivor of processes that marked the difficult destiny of many Aboriginal cultures in Latin America. After great struggles, their community preserved a strong identity that has flourished in some jungle areas of Panama and Colombia where they currently inhabit. Part of the important testament of this persistence to refuse to disappear in oblivion lies in its artistic expressions, from which the MOLAS, hand-woven fabrics with geometric and colorful patterns, stand out representing the rich imaginary that illustrates its tradition, mythology, and their historical dignity. According to a legend, this technique was taught directly by Kikardiryai, sister of the prophet Ibeorgun, who came down from the sky to instruct women in this complex art (in which multiple layers of cloth overlap each other) in order not only to create a unique expression, but above all, to transmit to the future generations the Kuna tradition.
Almost fifty years ago this indigenous community decided to open up to the world and share this wonderful and vital artisan expression, for which 2000 Kuna women decided to form a cooperative in order to maintain the sacred essence of these fabrics, avoiding any excessive commercialization. They also created alliances with craftsmen in the main cities of Colombia, which have managed to maintain internationally recognized quality standards.

It would be handy if this control was able to automatically layout differently if there were more space. For example, on a wide screen monitor, the panels would be side by side, if there was room.

The noise connected with electromagnetic interference (EMI) is generated by the electromagnetic area of earth. Actually, loud noise can be extremely damaging to hearing. Aerodynamic sound, the sound emanating from aircraft systems and mechanical sound are different sorts of sound created by an aircraft. Before rectifying a sound situation, you have to first determine what sort of sound you've got, who the sound is affecting, and the kind of data you must produce the correction. Generator noise and decibel levels ought to be considered prior to making your buy. Undesirable sound is known as noise. Noise created by men and women in public places too is a significant contributor.
The damaging impact of noise pollution aren't just restricted to humans. One ought to undertake suitable things to do to minimize the harmful impact of noise pollution. The effect of noise on human wellness is an issue of great concern. A rise in loudness causes a reduction in pitch. Another 10-fold improve, and another 10dB improve, would feel like another doubling. It was only when I heard the true decibel level I was truly impressed.
Noise levels above 140 dB aren't considered safe for practically any time period, however brief. It is necessary to differentiate between sound level and time-weighted average sound exposure. The ambient sound level and the degree of a certain disturbance being measured shall be the numerical average of racket measurements taken at a specific location during a particular time period. Additionally, it highlights the normal noise levels of normal sounds so that you may acquire an idea about what those noise levels represent.
To shield your hearing, you will want to restrict your exposure to these moderately higher noise levels too, and provide your ears an opportunity to recover after any period of noise exposure. So hearing sensitivity has to be measured not just in intensity, but also when it comes to frequency. It is a significant component when you reside in a neighborhood that needs low dB for noise sensitivity.
If you believe that there's a sound problem then you must properly assess the risks. It's a well-established actuality that noise has a lot of results on health. It's a known actuality that noise can interrupt a very good night's sleep, and whenever this happens, the individual feels extremely annoyed and uncomfortable.
A History of Noise Decibel Meter Refuted
The meter will start displaying sound level readings. Not all decibel meters provide the exact same capabilities and features. This easy noise meter was designed for easy racket surveys and sound level checks. It even has a sound meter on its internet site which let's you listen to an assortment of unique noises and indicates what their sound levels are. Sound level meters of both classes have exactly the same functionality, but various tolerances for error.
To earn measurement simpler and ensure reliability, the method was designed on the grounds of the new standard. Making a sound measurement couldn't be easier. Some meters incorporate an integrated calibration check that will quickly test a particular decibel reading. Reading the sound meters reviews posted about them is able to help you select the most suitable device to help safeguard your hearing and cut back noise pollution. Digital Sound Level Meter can be employed with a couple of microphones.

Green neighbourhood café in Vålerenga
Tuesday 27 August 2019
19:00 - 21:30
Vålerenga community centre
The neighbourhood cafés will be a combination of small inspiration talks, practical activities, and social get-togethers They will be based on the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals – can they be anchored locally?
The following topics have been set up for 2019:
• Repair and clothes swap
• From rubbish to musical instruments
• Vegetable fermentation
• Using leftovers and home composting
Vålerenga community centre, in cooperation with other organisations and groups, wants to "put Vålerenga on the map" and, as a neighbourhood, present its contribution to a green, sustainable city.
The community centre's 30-year history is part of a larger story about the importance of community action, local identity, and a sense of belonging. The centre has been run on a voluntary basis ever since it opened. It has provided a base for friendships and networks across generations and has become an arena for learning, getting to know people, and feeling a sense of belonging. These experiences will provide the basis for the operation of the neighbourhood cafés.
The centre has a large, friendly meeting hall on the ground floor where the neighbourhood cafés will be held.

First you want to do is attach the carrying strap to the pocket size camcorder.
Step 3: The Camcorder in Cell Phone Carrying Case
Now modify the Cell Phone Carrying Case by cutting a hole in the bottom to pass the carrying strap through the hole (This will help secure the camcorder in the Cell Phone Carrying Case so it doesnt slide out when in motion).

Now cut a side window in the Cell Phone Carrying Case so that you can operate the camera while it is attached to the helmet.
Step 5: Camera in Case
Now turn the Swivel Head lens out straight and place the Camcorder in the Cell Phone Carrying Case and pass the carrying strap through the hole in the Cell Phone Carrying Case and then fold it back into the case with the carrying strap.
Step 6: 4 Velcro Straps
Now attach the Camcorder to the Helmet using the 2 Velcro Straps. Turn on camera and start the movie.
Step 7: Notes
Note: you will want to make sure you have the rights settings on the camera and also use a small piece of tape to hold the Swivel Head lens in place. You will have to experiment with the Swivel Head lens placement to get the right angle that you desire.

While I still think it's cool that you made this and it's a pretty good idea, you could also just buy a gopro 960 for around $150 it is more versatile (dozens of mounts) and probably has better audio. I dont recommend buying the camera with the swivel head just for this, however if you already have the camera it's a pretty good idea.
I really dont think there is anyway you could copyright sticking a ready available camers to a cycle helmet Get Real Dude - If youve never dabbled in copyright law - let me tell you it is a damn sight more complex than - I had this idea first !!!!
Its great here on Instructables for people to share some ideas - its fun and usuially cheap but hardly ever commercially viable !! I say all this in love I love Instructable ideas - lets stick to sharing some of our intelligencya !!!
If he wanted to legally protect his idea of mounting a camera to a helmet, I believe that would be a patent, not a copyright.
I believe what is being copyrighted here is the PICTURE of the camera mounted to the helmet. I also believe there are several levels of copyright protection. Even if there was no (c) notice on the image, I believe he has a certain level of protection/ownership of the photo. Placing the (c) notice gives him an additional level of protection, and actually registering the copyright is the ultimate form of protection.
But, again, this would be for the picture, not the idea displayed in the picture. That, I believe, would require filing a patent.
Why did you reproduce this here? L
I don't think I understand the question..are you saying why is this article on other websites?
I'm asking why it's now on this website, do you hold the copyright? L
I'm the first one to come up with this design idea because this camera with the swivel head just came out. Do you think I need to register this idea with the copyright office?
(see answer below to hammerhead, sometimes it's not clear where stuff is coming from around here) L
RighteousDude owns lookingforadventure.com. Look things up before you blame people for stealing material.
I've not blamed anyone for anything. If RighteousDude owns the copyright (which is not obvious or deducible from the instructable or profile) it should be stated for the sake of clarity. People do rip stuff off around here, those whoe are republishing their own stuff do well to say so.
what's your question

We covered much of the metro Jackson area in our search for what would become our fifth home around the South (sixth if we count the apartment with access by rickety wooden outside stairs where we first lived).
A white brick, one-story house built in 1963 kept making the cut.
Two conical evergreen shrubs rising five feet above the eaves and an equally tall palm tree on the other end of the front set off a low-walled courtyard with an iron-kettle fountain.
We decided the house has a coastal look. That's good in our book. Plus, it is not far from downtown, where I work, so we bought it.
Turns out, this is a good neighborhood. Maybe a great neighborhood.
Greatness in this case does not mean mansions, though there are many nice houses with manicured lawns.
It's the people.
Hellos and exchanges of names and how long have you lived here? That's what I mean.
They walk and run down the tree-shaded streets of one of the early postwar suburbs — built to accommodate the now-aging baby boom generation — and wave easily, not out of stiff obligation because of mere proximity.
Did I mention we live in Jackson?
We know. We heard all those stories. The infrastructure. The crime. And, well, you know, race.
This neighborhood gets that.
A little security car cruises the streets. Soon there will be cameras at entry streets.
There is a strictly local website where important messages are posted.
Black lab with no collar seen on our street. Could it be yours? Lost a gray cat? Here's the picture.
And, oh yeah, a stranger tried to kick open a door but the alarm scared him off.
The parade continues.
Speaking of which, we attended the annual Heatherwood Easter Parade and Cookout. Burgers, hotdogs, sides and drinks furnished. Bring a dessert. Children's parade at 11 a.m. Live music by the Red Hots, a string band.
Four Heatherwood generations were on hand.
(I don't know if awards were given for parade participants, but a little girl riding a battery-powered two-wheeler and wearing a Hello Kitty helmet, with ears, surely must have been a contender.)
Still, make no mistake, this bunch knows how to go to war.
The Heatherwood Area Homeowners Association (let's push for 300 members, says a recent email) joined with a half-dozen other northeast Jackson homeowners associations and went to City Hall and persuaded officials to block an effort that the homeowners felt threatened the integrity of the area — and many more around the city.
That last fact — the potential widespread commercialization of thousands of acres set aside for parks, churches, cemeteries, hospitals and schools — got me off the hook.
I didn't feel, and my editor agreed, that with that scope there was conflict of interest on my part and so I have covered the story in news articles.
Talks between homeowners and the developers had broken down. Seems the developers had dug in their heels, saying that since it was their property they just might go all commercial, including apartments.
Nothing wrong with apartments, but renters are not as committed as homeowners.
The consensus among the associations was that the developers were now trying a flanking movement by getting the zoning code itself changed rather than continue holding those tiresome rezoning hearings.
A legion of homeowners put on a show of unity at City Hall. Truth, as seen from their perspective, was spoken to power. The developers would later withdraw their original rezoning plan, promising to work with the associations.
One hundred and fifty-two verdant acres in the heart of Zip Code 39211 had been bought for redevelopment after Colonial Country Club closed last year because of dwindling membership.
It's not hard to guess where the club members had gone. Outside the city. That's been the trend for more than 40 years all across the city. It is what is called, with more than a little justification, white flight.
Neighborhoods in Zip Code 39211 are racially integrated.
As one association member, a black lady, said at City Hall that "we are a wonderful cross-section of Jackson."
"I am an anomaly," one man, who is white, said at the showdown.
He said it with passion and pride.
I think I know what he meant. He and many, many others are in the decidedly racial minority in Jackson.
Whites are 18 percent of the total population, though more than 60 percent of northeast Jackson.
You know the story, or should. Desegregation of schools more than a decade after the Brown v. Board of Education decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1954 was not proceeding as rapidly as the court had wanted.
Subsequent Supreme Court rulings led to busing to other neighborhoods.
It was all about the numbers, the court-ordered assumption being that overall racial numbers should be reflected in each school.
Multi-racial cities would never be the same.
But this is a different era. One in which different voices are speaking, sometimes in unity.
Or as the attorney for those who bought the land where golf was played said: "The developers have heard the neighborhood."
… we'd like to ask for your support. More people are reading the Mississippi Business Journal than ever before, but advertising revenues for all conventional media are falling fast. Unlike many, we do not use a pay wall, because we want to continue providing Mississippi's most comprehensive business news each and every day. But that takes time, money and hard work.

To beautiful to only come out at Christmas. . . . .
The details on this beaded hummingbird are amazing - an exceptional value as a lot of hand work goes into making each ornament. I bought one to add to my collection of Fair Trade bird ornaments that hang year round on the valance in my kitchen. The beads glisten in the sun light.
This ornament would make a treasured gift for someone on the gift list.

At some point in the lifespan of your business you might find yourself in a situation where you need a tool. Now it might be a tool to help in the recruiting process of new applicants for roles with your burgeoning enterprise. It could be a tool for calculating and expensing the bills to clients who have helped your business grow to the size it currently is. The tool is possibly a communication platform for your team to use for internal use. Maybe it's a HIPAA compliance application for hospitals. Who knows, but at some point your business will need a tool that is outside of what you could currently do…at least for free.
Did you know that in the category of CRM softwares, there are over 400 different softwares to choose from? Each of these softwares offers similar services, but each has its own wrinkles. The same holds true for other types of third-party softwares. The double with so many options is that sometimes finding the perfect software for your need is difficult. At this point, it might be a good time to consider creating your own custom software solution to answer your company's needs.
Deciding to go the route of a custom software solution and hiring a development company is an option that many companies don't even realize is an option until they've exhausted all others. If a company has searched for a third-party software to do a specific job and is unhappy with the results, they might elect to contact a software development company to create it for them. If your company has the time, bandwidth, and budget, creating a custom software specifically for your business is a great idea.
There are many great examples of companies doing this, such as Strategic Medical Group creating a Electronic Medical Records system that has changed the way physicians and healthcare professionals do their job by helping to track and monitor patients and improve the quality of care. Naturally, being able to monitor all of your patients and better care for them helped the company reach new heights, as well as the hospitals that used the program. Security Insurance Life of America is another example, as they created EbixEnterprise, a software that streamlines the policy system for insurance companies. The EbixEnterprise platform helped to streamline the workload of the company, and that allowed them to better maximize their time and investments.
Having your own custom software solution created for your business has the potential to lead to great successes in the future, as well as some great perks, like ownership, customization, and resale opportunities. Let's look at them with more detail:
Advantages of a Custom Software Solution
1. Ownership
Let's be clear and simple: owning your own business software, a software created specifically for your business and your business's needs, is just that: you own it.
Owning the custom software for your business means not having to pay someone else a licensing fee each month for its use. You won't have to worry about expanding your user base and being limited by the number using the software. You'll also have full working knowledge of the product since it's your own, created exactly to your specifications to do exactly what you need it to do. Owning the software allows your team and company to work without worrying about the parent company of a rented software not approving of your use of it.
2. Customization
Along with ownership, the ability to customize the software to your liking is a great perk of having your own custom software solution. Now what I mean by customize is that while of course you can have the software built exactly to your specifications, you'll also have the ability to grow it and evolve it to fit your needs as time passes. Unlike with a third-party software, which does not allow for deviations from its regular intended use, your privately-owned custom software can be built upon when the need arises.
Picture this: your company is using a subscription software for its customer management. The software handles all of your customer's statuses, order details, billing, and all facets of their accounts. Now your company wants to merge it into a CRM software, but the subscription software your company uses doesn't integrate with any CRMs and won't allow any changes to its code or the way it works. This is a problem that you won't likely get around. Your company is then stuck with the product that doesn't do what you need of it, and probably won't be able to leave until the contract is up. And even when the contract is up, you then go back to searching for a solution that fits your needs.
Yes, having the ability to customize your own software without asking for permission from an overlord company should make your life much easier.
3. License It Out
Now here's a nice extra caveat of owning your own custom software: You can license it to other companies.
Say you've developed a custom software solution that lets the your employees talk to each other and assign tasks, but also has a deep level of customization for using it for other purposes. You could take that product and then offer to sell it to other companies. This way, you are able to leverage out your software that you created for your own means, and get some revenue out of it by offering it to other companies.
A great example of this is Collaborate Cloud. Collaborate Cloud was created for its company as a collaboration suite for small businesses. It's original purpose was for store management, inventory tracking, and performance management, but it was quickly evolved into a number of other tools. A platform for marketing teams to list projects, a communication platform for development companies, and many others. CC is a great example of a private software that was licensed out to many business to great success.
While there are some great perks to owning your own custom software, there are a few details you need to keep in mind when deciding to develop your own solution.
The Details
1. Price
Now while you have the luxury of not paying a monthly license fee for third-party software, you do however have a much larger cost-of-entry price when it comes to customer software solutions. Now this price will vary depending on what your tool requires and the company who creates it, but it should still be known the initial cost can be steep when compared to monthly fees for a third-party software. Still, in the long-run the costs should offset and go in your favor if you choose to develop your own software.
2. Third-Party Extra Services
When you use a third-party software for your business you get the bonus of the company's service features and extras. This could be educational information, video tutorials, troubleshooting, etc. When you have your own custom software solution created, you don't have access to these options, outside of whatever the developer offers you.Most developers offer customer service and maintenance as part of their custom software contracts, but not all, so make sure it's built into the contract.
3. Time
Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is a custom software platform. If you elect to go this route, you need to be cognizant of the time it takes to build, develop, and test a brand new software. Being aware of this time table allows you to avoid any headaches with deliverability of the custom software.
The Decision
At the end of the day you need to look at your company and assess where it is in its growth process. If your company is large enough, and dynamic enough, then pursuing custom software makes all the sense in the world. A customer software will allow your business to take flight and grow, with the potential to outpace competition and enhance the reaction time and speed of your company. By designing your own technology that is suited for your specific business operations, you will be able to outpace your competitors and do so at a heightened rate internally, which is good for revenue and your customers.
Regardless of the initial cost, custom software solutions should be a priority for any company looking to continue its growth and maximize its internal efforts. With a strong custom software in place, your company can began to utilize that software to expand its enterprises and scale in a meaningful way. Efficient use of software can lead to an increase in revenue, happier customers, and a better performing company overall.

Loan Refinancing
The attorneys at Kasen & Kasen, P.C. regularly represent individuals seeking to refinance their mortgage loans or to obtain other related forms of mortgage relief (e.g. mortgagemodifications/loan modifications, deed in lieu, short sale, etc.) through the Making HomeAffordable Program (MHA), a federal program designed to help stabilize the nation's housing market.
About the Making Home Affordable Program (MHA)
The MHA encompasses a variety of mortgage relief programs that help homeowners avoid foreclosure through modification, refinance and/or temporary forbearance during unemployment to eligible homeowners. And, for those homeowners who want to just walk away from their homes, the MHA also offers deed in lieu of foreclosure and short sale programs with cash incentives. Mortgage companies nationwide—including Bank of America, CitiMortgage, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo—participate in MHA programs.
Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP).
The Home Affordable Refinance Program(HARP) is a program within the MHA designed to stimulate the economy by giving eligible homeowners the opportunity to refinance into more affordable mortgages with lower fixed interest rates.
Some of HARPs basic eligibility requirements are as follows:
- Borrower must be current with the mortgage, with no late payments (over 30 days pastdue) in the last six months and no more than one in the past 12 months.
- The loan must be owned by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae** Note -To find out if your loan is owned by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae go to: https://ww3.freddiemac.com/loanlookup/ or https://www.knowyouroptions.com/loanlookup
- The loan must have been originated on or before May 31, 2009
- Borrower must have less than 20% equity in the property**Note – there is no negative equity cap
Some lenders only offer HARP refinancing to current customers. However, there are many lenders who also offer HARP refinancing regardless of who currently services your mortgage. A list of HARP lenders can be found at https://www.knowyouroptions.com/find-resources/mortgage-assistance/helpful-contacts/contact-a-harp-lender
A list of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan limits can be found at http://www.fhfa.gov/DataTools/Downloads/Documents/Conforming-Loan-Limits/FullCountyLoanLimitList2016_HERA-BASED_FINAL.pdf
FHA Short Refinance Program. The FHA Short Refinance Program is another less well known refinancing program within the MHA. Under the FHA Short Refinance Program, eligible homeowners in negative equity positions are given the opportunity to refinance into more affordable mortgages with reduced principal balances closer to the value of the property and lower fixed interest rates.
Some of FHA Short Refinance's basic eligibility requirements are as follows:
- Borrower must owe more on their mortgage(s) than the current value of the property
- Borrower must be current on the existing mortgage, or have successfully completed a qualifying three-month trial payment plan
- Borrower must occupy the property as their primary residence
- Borrower must have a "FICO based" decision credit score greater than or equal to 500
- The loan to be refinanced must not be an FHA-insured loan
A list of FHA-approved lenders can be found at http://www.hud.gov/ll/code/llslcrit.cfm
A list of FHA mortgage limits can be found at https://entp.hud.gov/idapp/html/hicost1.cfm

Liu, X., Lu, C., Liang, S., Godbole, A. & Chen, Y. (2019). Improved dynamic stall prediction of wind turbine airfoils. Energy Procedia, 158 1021-1026.
This paper presents a dynamic stall model to predict the unsteady airloads on wind turbine airfoils. The proposed model is based on the Beddoes-Leishman (B-L) model and modifications are carried out for wind turbine applications. The lift, drag, and pitch moment of the S809 airfoil oscillating in stall-development and deep-stall regimes are predicted. Validation against available experimental data shows overall good agreement.


text: Dave Spaulding - September 24, 2010 Making A Point Are aimed fire and point-shooting really all that different? By Dave Spaulding Few would argue that this would be good way to engage a threat, but a target-focused approach in which the gun is brought into the vision plane and the trigger controlled correctly just might be.The debate between sighted fire and point shooting, more accurately described as target-focused shooting, rages on. What mystifies me is why the shooting world feels like it must pick one or the other.I started interviewing gunfight veterans while in the police academy in 1976 after being disappointed with my firearms training. One of the questions I always asked people who had been in gunfights was, "Do you remember obtaining some type of sight picture or even seeing your sights?" As time went by, I realized that the circumstances often determined the answer to this question. Based on what I have been told, the determining factor as to whether or not an individual used their sights was if they saw the fight coming. Universally, those who were surprised drew and fired their handguns in almost a panic mode without trying to aim. But what is "aiming"? Is it possible to aim a handgun without sighting it? I believe so--within reason. Ogden, Utah, Deputy Police Chief Randy Watt, a decorated Special Forces veteran, wrote an excellent article titled "Point Shooting--Fact or Fallacy" (The Tactical Edge, Winter 2007) in which he discusses research done by his department into whether or not point-shooting is superior to sighted fire.One of the department's conclusions was that point-shooting does not work as well as distance increases. Most people would consider that obvious. Many advocates claim that point shooting works as far back as 25 yards, but in the Ogden tests, the department found that both worked to about five yards but when distances moved to seven, accuracy dropped off greatly for point-shooting. Much has been said about the human ability to use sights when in combat. Experts say that when the sympathetic nervous system is activated--essentially jump starting the body for combat--the eyes are locked to the threat as we gather information on what is happening. The body wants to keep track of what the threat is doing to make a decision on response; the brain wants real-time information, which it gets through vision. This makes a great deal of sense, and I have personally experienced it. So in such a circumstance, is it realistic to think that one can pull his vision away from a deadly threat and focus on tiny piece of metal?Simultaneously, we realize that the fundamentals of shooting create accuracy. By having a solid grip, good body position, sight alignment, sight picture and proper trigger control, our rounds will go where we want them.There are few things more satisfying than putting a nice, tight group on target, but if any of the fundamentals are ignored, our ability to shoot accurately falls apart. And don't point-shooting advocates call for dismissing at least some of the fundamentals? Well, not really.Let me offer a bit of harsh reality: Everybody point-shoots. Consider what is accomplished when a handgun is brought onto a target. Whether it comes from ready or the holster, the upper body must make several motions that if accomplished consistently will bring the gun to the eye/target line every time.Since shooting is accomplished from the waist up, it does not matter if these motions are from a prone, kneeling, crouched or standing position--the same motions must take place in order to deliver the gun into a position where it can be used.Even the late Col. Jeff Cooper understood this physiological fact when he made the statement, "The body aims, the sights confirm." If the gun is moved in a consistent fashion--the same way every time--the gun will arrive where you need it. If this is not point-shooting, I'm not sure what is.The fact is, the "felt" aspects of shooting are grossly underrated, and we need to focus more on what it feels like to deploy the gun correctly than on making it a visual exercise. Think about it: The eyes are really the last thing used to fire an accurate shot. The torso, arms and hands are what really shoot the gun. Everyone reading this has felt a shot go wrong; we knew it as the bullet was going downrange, and during the next shot we concentrated on correcting it. But how many of you corrected this by focusing harder on the sight picture versus concentrating on making the trigger stroke feel right? About half and half, I would guess.I believe that more shots are missed due to inadequate trigger control than to poor sight alignment. Some claim trigger control is not important due to the closeness of most confrontations, but I must respectfully disagree.Every one of us has seen people shoot into the dirt in front of the target, which is the result of convulsively squeezing the entire hand versus trying to separate the trigger finger from the rest. Digital dexterity is lost during a fight, but that is no excuse for just ignoring reality. Officers will not "rise to the occasion" during a confrontation--they will default to their level of training, and trigger control must be a big part of this training. I just don't see the big difference between target-focus shooting and sight-focus shooting as both require kinetic harmony to work. Many of the people involved in gunfights I spoke to told me that while they did not remember looking at their front sights, they were very aware of their guns in their plane of vision, which tells me the guns got to the eye/target line.It also tells me that the shots they fired were directed, thus aimed. I strongly advocate the use of a bright, contrasting front sight on handguns. Those I spoke with who remembered using their sights were revolver shooters who had colored inserts in their front sights; they recall seeing a "flash of color" in their lines of sight during the fight. It seems to me that teaching a person to use the sights does not exempt them from being able to shoot with a target focus. If the gun gets on the target efficiently and the trigger is controlled successfully, does it really matter if the sights were referenced or not?As a matter of fact, try it during training. Shoot a drill the same as you would when using the sights, but look at the target instead. You will be surprised at how well you shoot--but, again, the closer the better.In my opinion, this aim versus point issue is intended to sell tickets to gun schools and not get to the root of the problem. But in the end, how you train is your decision. GET THE NEWSLETTER Join the List and Never Miss a Thing. Sign Me Up

1. The initial meeting of a company, auditors, underwriters and attorneys preparing a company for an initial public offering.
An organizational meeting of this kind is usually convened to review the timetable for the proposed offering. Why is a meeting necessary? The process of completing an initial public offering is complex. It is critical that all of the key actors remain "on the same page" in order to better ensure the success of the IPO.
During the organization meeting, delegation of responsibilities, scheduling, any concerns raised about the IPO, the structure of the offering, regulatory/reporting compliance and financial priorities should all be discussed. It is not often that all key actors meet in this way in advance of an IPO, so it is important to use one's time in a focused and efficient manner.
2. A gathering of like-minded individuals brought together by a common purpose. Like, when all the little boys in the Little Rascals cast meet in their clubhouse in order to participate in "He-Man Woman Hater" activities. Even Alfalfa, who is totally in love with Darla and obviously doesn't hate women. Perhaps organizational meetings don't require that the participants are like-minded… only that they PROFESS to be like-minded. Someone should write a psychology book about the contradictions inherent in the leadership of the He-Man Woman-Hater's Club.
Startup Founder: "Are you ready for the organizational meeting? I have some concerns about the structure of the offer I need to bounce off of everyone in addition to the other items on the agenda."
Executive: "You bet. Was ready last week. Totally prepared. No problem. Ready when you are."
Startup Founder: "You forgot about it, didn't you?"
Executive: "…yeah."

REVIEW: DGM – "The Passage"
Sandra Yeomans
Italy's DGM are set to release their eighth studio album, 'The Passage', which is a very fitting title when looking at the seemingly ongoing journey of fire and water appearing on the cover. Admittedly, I was not familiar with DGM before sitting down with 'The Passage', but within the first minute and a half, I knew exactly what I was dealing with: the Italian Symphony X. And it doesn't help that a member of said band makes an appearance on one of the tracks. Although usually labeled as a form of power-prog metal, I would say that the only thing even remotely progressive about this particular album is that it sounds like a lot of the other 80s-infused, "prog metal" bands that fans seem to lap up, despite the fact that the sound isn't actually progressing anywhere anymore. But I digress.
As I enjoyed the heavier aspects of 'The Passage' — especially on tracks such as "Ghost Of Insanity" and "Fallen" — I often found myself wishing that that was all there was to it and I was listening to yet another generic "djent" band, but the vocals always kicked in, followed by the predictable guitar and keyboard solos. Not to take away from DGM's talent and capability, but there can only be so many vocalists who sound like they are pretending to battle dragons atop mountains with the help of their sidekick keyboard wizard before my brain kind of shuts down.
It must be said, however, that the first two tracks on 'The Passage' actually grew on me. "The Secret" Parts 1 and 2 are epic and triumphant, with heavy instrumental sections and impressive solos. Part 2 in particular is the highlight of the album, encompassing thick opening bass over ambient keys, leading into a catchy guitar riff. It is also frontman Marco Basile's best performance, between the use of a lower octave, a few harmonies here and there, and the powerfully projected melodies that sit nicely over top of the other instruments. And let us not forget the beautiful little piano segment in 7/8 timing, as well as the really great Middle East-themed ending.
The initial twenty seconds of "Animal" are intriguing, like a creative spin on an AC/DC lick, but the remaining five minutes do not impress. The title track, "The Passage", is similar in that sense, as the instrumental sections are the only redeeming parts among the power vocals and even more keyboard and guitar solos. A soft break comes in the form of "Disguise", which is easily the shortest track, featuring gentle piano beneath the vocals. Immediately following that is "Portrait", its intense speed providing a nice contrast.
As hinted previously, there are guest appearances on 'The Passage': Michael Romeo of Symphony X offering his guitar skills on "Dogma", and Evergrey's Tom Englund adding some rougher vocals to "Ghost of Insanity".
Overall, fans of DGM will surely enjoy 'The Passage', as it does possess that fusion of classic metal and distinct modern distortion that many have come to love. While all the members are talented, guitarist Simone Mularoni specifically stands out, the excessiveness of his shredding solos notwithstanding. Basile's power metal vocals are too much for my taste, but of course that also means that he has an admirable high register. However, the lyrics come off cheesy at times, the 80s keyboards could have been cut in half (or at least performed on a piano), and as I always say, the bass should not be so buried in the mix.
So, while 'The Passage' is a good balance of light and heavy, it is more or less made for those who want another new Dream Theater album.

Gong Hey Fat Choy! A most auspicious New Year to each and all.
I just saw the link to an International Business Times article on my friend Valerie's facebook page. She put this quote from the article in her post, "The Dragon is larger than life and its appearance means that big things are to come." Then she wrote, "I can get into that! :)" Me, too!
So here I am 500 miles down the road in the Bay Area. Given the grassroots nature of the journey, I'm waiting to hear about classes and community groups to speak with about 100 Voices – Americans Talk about Change. Meanwhile, I did manage my first Tweet last night (I need all y'all to follow me!!) and I'm hearing today from folks in Texas, GA and WI for 100 Voices events there, so as the DIY publicity process goes…well…it's going somewhere – "big things are to come."
Here are the big things I pick – Americans listening to each other. Yeah. And I pick getting our democracy and our country back.
From the standpoint of traditions behind the Chinese calendar, the Dragon is a symbol of good fortune and intense power. The Year of the Dragon comes around every 12 years and represents the culmination of first 11 years of the cycle. In that cosmology, this 12th year is the time of everything coming together in expression. The expression can be flamboyant and emotional – like Lady GaGa or like Stephen Colbert at the opening of every show. Excess are expected with lots of love and pain and passion. Some of my Chinese American friends say this is the year where things explode into fruition. Big visions can come to life, they say.
But there are cautions. Flamboyance can be flimflam. Emotionality can backfire.
It's hard not to think of recent campaign slurs and shouting. It's also easy to remember the consistent theme among the 100 Voices calling for wise, visionary, cooperative leadership grounded in the interests of we-the-people. Flamboyance and emotion in fulfilling that call would be very good.
My friends say, watch for unwise use of the power of the dragon – in others and in yourself. At the same time they say, go for it. If you've had something you've been nurturing into being, this is the year to implement. This is the year to make it big and bright and real.
And, it's the year that sets the pace for the next round of 12.
At the end of the article Valerie posted, Peter So is quoted regarding the year of the Dragon for the U.S. "Sometimes luck depends on the country itself, rather than an individual president," he said.
OK. Let's do it.

Walkers and hikers will know that these are places that offer some of the most stunning scenery and beautiful hiking trails in the country, the most famous of which is the Routeburn Track. Take a one day walk-in, walk-out expedition on your own, or for something really special take the 3-day guided walk.
The township sits on the shores of Lake Wakatipu. It has a few cafes and shops, a small general store, a true country pub and accommodation from campsites and backpackers through to the luxury of award winning Blanket Bay Lodge.

Even the very best-informed, finest-intentioned executives must rethink their assumptions about enterprise practice in overseas settings. Many of the teachers in business ethics have made an effort to open a dialogue with these in business, and have often been successful in doing so. The audience, therefore, has been not only colleagues and students, but also corporate managers and most people.
Nominated companies are required to complete an official entry form and supply documentation of ethics in action at their firm. Furthermore, a lot of those in enterprise have also turned to the writings of those in business ethics, or have asked them for steerage as consultants on points or for assist in writing company codes or designing coaching programs. A company code of ethics, credo, code of conduct, mission assertion, or philosophy that demonstrates the company's requirement for honesty, integrity and compliance with the law in all business dealings. Moreover, first-world countries typically transfer big enterprise branches to 3rd-world nations. The opposite massive principle on the aim of business comes underneath the social contract concept.
The British public's opinion of enterprise behaviour has fallen dramatically, in keeping with the most recent survey performed for the Institute of Enterprise Ethics. Many business persons are strongly influenced by their spiritual beliefs and the moral norms that they've been taught as a part of their religion, and apply these norms of their business actions. Ethics might require not a complete ban on advertising and marketing to them but particular care in how they are marketed to (Brenkert 2008). Those that contact the Ethics Guideline have the choice to provide their title or stay nameless. Theologians and spiritual thinkers, as well as media pundits continued writing and teaching on ethics in business; professors of administration continued to write and do analysis on corporate social responsibility.
The inspiration then from Donaldson's work for enterprise ethics scholars may be to additional and refine some of the 'Donaldsonian Themes' (so the title of the conference); but it is fair to argue that the imaginative and prescient, braveness and mental entrepreneurship to give you new approaches of conceptualizing enterprise in its wider societal context is perhaps the most important instance and benchmark Donaldson has left for a subsequent generation of business ethics scholars.
Each signatory agreed to have a written code of ethics, set up acceptable ethics training programs for his or her workers, set up monitoring mechanisms to detect improper activity, share their finest practices, and be accountable to the public.

Rogue Security Labs has managed to uncover the email addresses and login passwords to approximately 370 paid/premium accounts allegedly attached to the NordVPN service. The hacked accounts were compiled from a string of 4 different leaks, from 3 different hackers across Syria, Japan, and Denmark over the course of October 26th to November 6th 2018. In addition to releasing customer login information, hackers also released a new 'hack' used to exploit different functions of PayPal through faked email addresses in order to trick companies like Nord into providing them with free VPN service. To uncover more about the incident, as well as how/where the hackers got the information the first place, Rogue Security Labs has attempted to make contact with each of the parties responsible for the leaks, but all parties have declined comment. Upon further investigation however, there appears to be no known ties behind each individual involved.
As of November 8th 2018, NordVPN has been notified of the leaks and in a statement to Rogue Security Labs made it clear that their company and service has "never been breached" and that "any accounts available online are not leaked from our servers, but matched from other databases available online." Research into the breach is still ongoing. If you are worried that your account might have been compromised, you are advised to reach out to NordVPN customer support for more information. The problem can also be mitigated by simply changing the login password to your account itself as well. Additionally, if you use the same root password for your Nord account as you do your email or any other service, you are advised to change this as well.
** Due to the number of civilian customers/accounts involved, Rogue Security Labs has declined to share the original leaks with the general public. **
