Lately I have been experimenting with the YUI Library CSS Tools and Blueprint. Both are an open source CSS framework, which as Blueprint so gracefully puts it "gives you a solid CSS foundation to build your project on top of, with an easy-to-use grid and sensible typography…". After experimenting with both, I have continued to lean towards YUI's framework. It seems to be a little more matured and well-known, so I will focus on YUI.
Category Archives: HTML
HTML Tag:
There's an interesting HTML tag that I just learned about:
<label> First Name: <input type="text" name="firstname" /> </label>
<label for="firstname">First Name:</label> <input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname" />
The label tag associated the text inside to the input field. There are two advantage to this.
- For a disabled user, the screen reader can read to the visitor what this field is asking for.
- The standard user can click on the label which will bring focus to the input field, similar to many desktop applications.
Internet Explorer will only support the second example above to allow clicking of the label. Also think of the advantage of styling the label tag in CSS. So I'd recommend using the second example above. The for attribute references the id attribute in the input tag.
A good video to watch: Creating Attractive, Usable, and Accessible Forms. This was a presentation at Adobe Max 2008.

Last Update: 22Mar2019 for the 2018 MP1 / MP2 dividend rate
I was trying to search the net for Pag-ibig press releases on their historical MP2 dividend rates, I wanted to compile a list for our easy reference and just update it annually. It was quite challenging really, scouring the many documents on their site (I also looked into their Facebook page by the way). Finally, I decided to just call their hotline instead 724-4244 (this is literally dial PAG-IBIG) and give it a shot. Surprisingly I got through immediately, there were no queues on the hotline and Sir N**n was very accommodating to my queries (name redacted for his safety LOL data privacy).
What's MP2 again? MP 2 stands for Modified Pag-Ibig 2. It is named as such to differentiate it from the mandatory Pag-Ibig deductions that employers deduct from their employees monthly. Some refer to this mandatory deduction of P100 per month as MP1. Hence, this an additional voluntary savings that gives out higher dividends / interest rates. Here's a short video:
Other salient points of MP2 are as follows:
- Government guaranteed
- Tax free dividends
- Can be monthly (as low as PHP500) or less frequent as long as you reach PHP6,000 annually
- Can be salary deducted through your employer (if they allow it) or you can enroll your own remittance method
- 5-year maturity
You may read our previous article on MP2 here: High Interest Savings Thru Pag-ibig MP2.
Click here for a copy of their FAQs.
So I dialed PAG-IBIG and was able to talk to their customer service. It was meant to be. They provided the following rates from 2013 to 2018 for both MP 1 and MP 2. Watch this space for updates 2019 onwards.
- 2018: 6.91%
- 2017: 7.61%
- 2016: 6.93%
- 2015: 4.83%
- 2014: 4.19%
- 2013: 4.09%
- 2018: 7.41%
- 2017: 7.83% to 8.11%*
- 2016: 7.43%
- 2015: 5.33%
- 2014: 4.69%
- 2013: 4.59%
- 2010 to 2012: 4.92% (est)**
*Per our phone conversation, the dividend rate for 2017 is 7.83% (I triple-checked this with him), whereas upon checking the website, the quoted rate is 8.11% (Click here for the article). Anyway, both are respectably high for a savings account. Plus this one is government guaranteed and tax free!
** Estimate only, for comparison purposes. Based on a previous flyer, average for 2010 to 2016 is 5.26%. The 4.92% estimate for 2010 to 2012 will yield a simple average of 5.26% for 2010 to 2016. Note, simple average only.
***Mar 22 2019 Notes: Per our phone conversation, the dividend rate is slightly smaller from last year as there are a lot more members who are entitled to the dividends. Likewise, she mentioned that MP2 savings may now be remitted via Bayad Centers as long as the initial deposit was made in a Pag-ibig Branch. This is for validation.
Based on the same press release, MP2 is now open to all members with at least 24 monthly savings (MP 1) prior to retirement. It no longer has minimum income requirement because previously, MP 2 was open only to those with P5,000 minimum monthly income. It now covers retirees, pensioners and former Pag-Ibig members.
Based on my previous discussions with the Pag-Ibig hotline, OFWs are also qualified and they may remit via bayad centers. Unfortunately for locally employed, the available options so far are salary deduction, or over the counter to any Pag-Ibig branch (open during office hours), which is quite of a downer since not employers are ready to implement extra deductions for MP 2. This will really challenge Juan's discipline in saving, whether he's willing to go to a Pag-ibig branch regularly to save. Here's to hoping that ADA in bank account, or online transfer will be made available soon.
Nonetheless, they also mentioned that it is not required that one saves an amount monthly, as long as he meets the PHP6000 annually. One can even do lump sum of PHP30K or higher so that s/he will only go to Pag-Ibig branch once. At least that's what they told me, ok?
Once again, caveat. I'm just here to update you on possible investment options for us retail investors.

text: Hank Shaw - September 25, 2015 HUNTING Recipe: Elk Heart Stir-Fry Heart meat works really well with Chinese stir-fry because it's dense enough to slice into uniformly small pieces and it cooks up quickly. In this case, you're shredding the meat after trimming and tenderizing the heart. Any heart will work here, as will any good piece of venison, so long as it is free of fat and connective tissue.Most of the ingredients here are easy to find. The bamboo shoots and chili bean paste will be in the Asian or "Ethnic" section of your supermarket. I've even found them in many small-town markets. One word of caution: Don't double this elk heart recipe. Stir-frying needs really high heat to work, and you kill that if you overload the pan. If you want to make a double batch, set out the ingredients for both batches and do them one after another. That's how they do it in Chinese restaurants. Ingredients1 pound elk heart2 tablespoons chili bean paste2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger 2 cloves garlic, sliced thin1 8-ounce can bamboo shoots, sliced into matchsticks4 green onions, sliced into thin discs 5 small hot chiles, sliced2 teaspoons sugar2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine or dry sherry1 tablespoon Chinese black vinegar or malt vinegar1 tablespoon soy sauce1/4 cup beef broth2 teaspoons cornstarch2 teaspoons sesame oilDirectionsStart by trimming the elk heart. Slice off any fat and any veiny looking bits of the heart. Now slice off large pieces, using the chambers of the heart as a guide. Trim any connective tissue; there's often web-like tissue on the interior of the chambers. Now you are left with pure meat. You will likely have more than the pound you need. Use this for another dish, or make a second batch of this one.Slice the big pieces crosswise into thin slices. This is pretty easy to do because heart meat is so dense. Then tenderize them: Put the heart slabs between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or an empty wine bottle or pierce them all over with a Jaccard meat tenderizer. Once the slabs have been tenderized, cut them into thin slivers of about ¼-inch wide. If you've ever had Chinese "shredded" dishes — usually pork, beef, or chicken — this is what you're going for.To make the dish, mix all the ingredients for the sauce except for the sesame oil in a bowl. Set aside. Put 2 tablespoons of peanut oil (or some other vegetable oil) in a wok and turn the heat to high. When the oil starts smoking, take the wok off the heat and add the chili bean paste and minced ginger to the oil. Put it back on the heat and cook for 30 seconds.Add the heart, garlic, green onions, chilis, and bamboo shoots and stir fry for two minutes. Pour in the sauce and boil furiously for two minutes. Turn off the heat, add the sesame oil, and serve with rice. Serves four. GET THE NEWSLETTER Join the List and Never Miss a Thing. Sign Me Up

Week 16 of the NFL was all about either securing a playoff spot or earning a better seed position. All hands needed to be on deck and feet in bounds because it was a wild ride with a couple NFL Regional Combine standouts on board.
Enduring the process can be difficult, especially in the absence of belief. Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Vyncint Smith has bore the hardship of doubters and disappointment. After experiencing success at Limestone College and having a solid workout at the NFL Regional Combine Invitational, he still managed to make an active roster spot of an NFL team as an undrafted free agent.
As a member of the Texans, Smith continued to wait, but was always encouraged. After weeks of standing on the sideline, his number was called in Week 16 and he did not disappoint.
"Yes, I am encouraged," said Smith. "They gave me a chance to make a play and I came through. At the moment, it felt good."
Smith played in six games this season, including a start against the New England Patriots in Week One. The 6-3, 200-pound speedy receiver made his first NFL catch in Week Three against the New York Giants for 28 yards.
There is no secret about Smith's talent. He just needed the right opportunity. And it presented itself.
"Vynce is a speed guy that can run," said Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson. "He's been working hard all season. His time was going to come and his opportunity came, and took advantage of it.
"He did a good job of securing the ball and getting his body inbounds and making a great play for us."
Vyncint Smith/Google Images
Down by six with 2:11 left in regulation facing third-and-11 from the Eagles' 35-yard line, Watson took the ball from shotgun formation, stood in the pocket and threw deep down the middle of the field. Smith beat Eagles cornerback Rasul Douglas deep into the endzone and caught the pass while sliding down.
The play was reviewed and the touchdown upheld, giving the Texans an eventual one point lead. Pro Bowl receiver and teammate DeAndre Hopkins was one of Smith's biggest cheerleaders.
"Oh, man. Vync, he's been making plays in practice since he got here. We know we can count on him to go deep, exactly like we did today," said Hopkins.
For a moment, Smith's touchdown placed the number two seed of the AFC into the Texans' hands until the Eagles ripped it out following a last minute field goal. Clearly, Smith's play was a huge deal.
"He did a good job. He's been getting better in practice, and he did an excellent job on that play. He made a big play." said Texans head coach Bill O'Brien.
Scott Simonson/Google Images
After four seasons in the NFL, New York Giants tight end Scott Simonson earned his first NFL touchdown.
Simonson made personal history in the first quarter with 7:07 left on the clock when the Giants faced first-and-goal from the Indianapolis Colts' 3-yard line. Giants quarterback Eli Manning took the snap from center, faked a hand off and rolled outside to the right on a bootleg and threw a dart to Simonson at the 2-yard line. The first year tight end for the Giants dove towards the corner pylon.
Simonson ventured through the RC in 2014. The Assumption College standout was a member of the Oakland Raiders and Carolina Panthers, primarily on their practice squads. Simonson played in Super Bowl 50 with the Panthers, but was utilized as more of a blocking tight end.
With the Giants this season, Simonson earned many targets and had other opportunities to score. However, Simonson made good on this touchdown try and after being healthy all season, he looks to finish strong against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17.
-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens put the Chicago Bears' defense to the test and nearly putted off an upset. He completed 22 passes out of 38 attempts for 241 yards, a touchdown and an interception, which came late in the fourth quarter as another pass came off a receiver's hand.
-Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Jatavis Brown racked up eight tackles against the Baltimore Ravens.

As today's technologies continue to evolve, the businesses that fail to adapt in tandem are put at a competitive disadvantage. This is why the demand for web and mobile applications is surging. The software can be used in a wide range of environments to significantly enhance both internal and external operations. However, as companies face increased pressure to design and release apps more quickly, they are also met with rising security risks.
WhiteHat Security revealed that any one app could have five to 32 vulnerabilities. In addition, the time it takes for organizations to fix them is on the rise. Between 2013 and 2015, the number of days it took to resolve one, on average, rose by 50 percent, jumping from 100 to 150. Furthermore, according to the HPE Cyber Risk Report 2016, 90 percent of web app vulnerabilities are caused, at least in part, by poor implementation of security functions.
Need for speed
Despite the widespread concern and attention being paid to the issue of unsecured infrastructures, software and networks, it seems that many company leaders are still putting a stronger emphasis on the speed of app development than they are the security of it. In a survey conducted by Ponemon Institute for IBM, 65 percent of the participating software developers agreed that the pressure to "rush to release" was contributing to the uptick in app vulnerabilities.
"When it comes to application development, security should never be sacrificed for speed."
Developers use a range of security functions, such as encryption and authentication, to help ensure apps are protected. However, sloppy coding practices do not make for secure apps. And, unfortunately, the reality is that the IT teams of many organizations are burdened with an overwhelming to-do list, with the rapidly expanding requests for app development projects only one of their responsibilities. Another trend further fueling this issue is the shortage of highly skilled tech talent.
The high-demand for fast turnaround on apps - and limited access to in-house capabilities - has led to the growing popularity of Rapid Mobile App Development, or RMAD. It allows businesses to create mobile apps without having to custom-write the code. Programming tools enable organizations to streamline the process, creating a faster, more affordable process. In some aspects, RMAD offers tremendous gains, but it is not without its limitations. The problem is that using this method doesn't offer the same flexibility as custom-built software does and, perhaps most importantly, not as much security.
Ultimately, a digital or mobile app is only as valuable as it is secure. And when it comes to application development, security should not be sacrificed for speed. Hackers are becoming more sophisticated in their cyber criminal activities - and the risks of a poorly secured app and the disruptions that can occur as a result far outweigh any potential benefits of creating and implementing one quickly.
A sourcing solution
Because the issue of application security has garnered so much attention over the past few years, an increasing number of organizations are turning to open-source software for web and mobile app development, according to North Bridge. Currently, 78 percent of organizations use it and 88 percent plan to make more investments in this type of software over the next few years. Open source architectures offer much greater versatility and leverage than other types of programming languages, which is why it should be considered in any custom app development project.
The scope and complexity of mobile app development can often be underestimated, especially by business executives not well-versed in technology and coding. Even many programmers, developers and software engineers today are often overcome and fraught with how to best navigate the complexities and challenges unfolding across the digital landscape.
One of the strategies businesses can use for app development that addresses many of the issues mentioned above is to enlist the help of a third-party IT sourcing company. By using this approach, organizations will be able to have a custom web or mobile app built for them using the development environment that meets their specific needs.
These specialists will be able to dedicate the critical attention, time and resources needed to ensure the project gets done correctly and quickly that wouldn't be possible otherwise for the company – either because the business doesn't have access to such talent in-house or because it's already being used for other crucial areas of business.

Eva Longoria was among many at day one of the Democratic National Convention to deliver a heartfelt and personal speech.
Offering up an energetic speech on Monday in Philadelphia, the actress spoke on her experiences as a Mexican-American, calling out stark contradictions between her upbringing and GOP candidate Donald Trump's earlier comments about Mexican immigrants.
"I'm from a small town in South Texas, and if you know your history, Texas used to be part of Mexico," Longoria, 41, said. "I'm ninth generation American. My family never crossed a border; the border crossed us."
Continuing on, Longoria made obvious references to Trump addressing immigrants as "rapists" who are "bringing drugs" and "crime" to America, as the former Desperate Housewives star pointed to her own family to disprove the billionaire businessman's claims.
"When Donald Trump calls us criminals and rapists, he's insulting American families. My father is not a criminal or a rapist, in fact, he's a United States veteran," Longoria said. "When Trump cruelly mocked a disabled reporter, he was also mocking my special-needs sister Lisa and many like her."
She added: "When he said that a wife who works is a very dangerous thing, he not only insulted me, he insulted my mother who worked as a special-education teacher for 40 years and raised four children while being a wife."
Despite a rocky start at the DNC, which saw a struggle for unity, Longoria's oration – similar to First Lady Michelle Obama's and Senator Bernie Sanders' speeches – rallied the crowd as they cheered for her honest and personal account of why she'll be casting her ballot in Hillary Clinton's favor come November.

그 점만 빼면 완벽합니다.

This leather folio/ organizer in crazy horse brown is a writer's (professional or hobbyist) best friend. The leather is extremely soft and really good quality, the zipper is robust and sturdy and the elastic bands are strong. The various pockets allow a versatile use of the folio. I also want to take a moment to thank the Galen Leather Team for the extra touch of care with the cute charm, Turkish coffee and tea that they included as well as for the super fast delivery (I had it within less than a week of placing my order). Overall I am a very satisfied customer and I will be coming back.
Such a beautiful product! I love the crazy horse leather and this folio was everything I was looking for. Love it so much that I'm planning on ordering more in other colours!
The beautifully crafted navy zippered notebook folio has elevated my journaling experience. Galen quality is top notch!

I ADORE my new Forest Green folio. I ordered it after admiring others on Instagram, and it did not disappoint. It's better in person. I love the color of the leather and the scratches and marks on it that make it look already loved. I love the heavy duty zipper and the removable fountain pen holder. I especially love the personalized small touches from Galen like the Evil Eye, postcard, and tea packets from Turkey. I would not hesitate to buy this if you've been eyeing it... or anything else they make. I am a Galen fan for life now.
Very pleased with the quality, it's beautifully made. It will be a regular companion over many years I'm sure.

A nocturnal hunter is only as good as their equipment. While it is true that knowledge about the animal you're hunting and your ability to move in the wild silently are critical to your success, neither of those will help you if you don't have the right equipment.
After all, humans can't see in the dark and seeing your quarry is critical to hunting it. This is where thermal binoculars and thermal bi-oculars come into the picture. Many of you may already have a thermal scope for your rifle or crossbow.
Buying thermal binoculars for hunting, however, requires a different kind of knowledge than what you have as a hunter. Thermal imaging binoculars and similar devices are marvels of modern science and to be able to evaluate them you need to understand how they work and how they are different than normal binoculars. At the very least, you need to know the basics so that you can look for the right features.
This is especially true if you're new to night hunting. The more seasoned nocturnal hunters would know a lot of what we're going to share here anyway but even they may not know all there is to know. We're going to be reviewing multiple thermal binoculars, bi-oculars, and other devices on this page but before we do that let us strip away the magic of these devices and understand how they work.
When light falls on an object, it absorbs some of it and reflects some of it. This reflected light is processed by our eyes and brain, which is how we see the object and perceive its shape and color. In the dark, however, the object doesn't reflect any light because no light falls on it. Since our eyes have no reflected light to process, we can't see the object. To this point, we've only talked about the visible spectrum of light.
There are other types of electromagnetic radiation that our eyes cannot see. One of these is infrared. Infrared is, basically, heat radiated by an object. If an object generates heat, like animals, it will radiate it into the environment around it. Thermal imaging is the process of translating this radiant heat into images that our eyes can perceive and our brains process.
Thermal imaging devices have heat sensors that detect heat being radiated by objects, animals, and people in their field of vision. They take the differences in temperature and convert them into images. In these images, areas with light temperatures are shown in lighter colors while higher temperatures are presented in darker colors.
In the wild, when you're stalking an animal, very few objects will be generating significant heat. In fact, animals and people generate the most heat in the majority of wilderness scenarios. Therefore, if you use thermal binoculars for hunting, you'll make it considerably easier to spot your quarry even through dense brush or foliage.
Thermal imaging has a wide variety of applications. It is used in medicine, construction, archaeology, surveillance, and hunting. In hunting, thermal imaging is used in the form of four different devices – scopes, monoculars, binoculars, and bi-oculars.
Thermal imaging scopes are attached to guns and their primary purpose is to help you aim and shoot at your target in darkness. You may be able to use scopes for spotting targets in a tight spot but it will be very inconvenient and difficult because their field of view is very small.
Monoculars, binoculars, and bi-oculars are all used for spotting targets in the dark and their efficiency varies greatly. The primary difference between these three types of spotting devices is their design. Monoculars and bi-oculars have one objective lens each while binoculars have two. In terms of eye pieces, bi-oculars and binoculars have two each, while monoculars have just have one.
Therefore, monoculars have a single optical channel designed for a single eye. In binoculars, there are two independent channels, one for each eye, which means that slightly different images are presented to each eye. In bi-oculars, the objective lens captures an image which is presented to both the eyes through separate eye pieces.
Nocturnal spotting devices are manufactured by multiple companies but the three most dominant in the industry are Armasight by FLIR, ATN, and Pulsar. Each of these companies manufactures a wide array of thermal imaging and night vision devices other than nocturnal spotting scopes. These include rifle scopes, goggles, clip-on systems, illuminating tools, and a number of thermal imaging attachments or paraphernalia.
Thermal imaging binoculars are not as popular with hunters as thermal imaging monoculars. Hunters choose monoculars despite the fact that thermal vision binoculars are the most efficient and effective for spotting targets. It is important to understand why.
The two biggest reasons for this are weight and cost. Because a nocturnal hunter has to manage so much equipment, the total weight he or she carries becomes a critical consideration. As thermal binoculars are significantly heavier than monoculars, most hunters choose the latter in spite of their inferiority when it comes to performance.
Thermal imaging binoculars are also substantially more expensive than monoculars as well. Therefore, hunters who don't have deep pockets have no other option than to settle for monoculars.
There is a happy compromise between thermal imaging binoculars and monoculars, though. In thermal imaging for hunting, it is a newer option called thermal bi-oculars. Thermal bi-oculars are more effective than thermal monoculars but not as expensive as thermal binoculars. They're even lighter than binoculars. The mix of these three qualities makes them ideal for the majority of hunters although features, cost, and efficiencies may vary from one product to another.

If you're planning to make a foray into nocturnal hunting or even nocturnal wildlife observation, you'll need to make use of a thermal imaging device. We've been researching all the available devices and have made use of all our experience to find the best options for you. These are our findings.
ATN has not only been around a while but it has also been a consistent leader in the field of thermal imaging for most of that time. Its thermal imaging devices, whether scopes or binoculars have repeatedly outperformed the vast majority of their competitors. One of their most impressive product lines is the BinoX 4T and we think both the products in this product line will be worth your time.
The ATN BinoX-4T 384 Thermal Smart HD Binocular has a thermal resolution of 384 x 288 with a magnification range of 4.5 to 18x. The BinoX-4T 384 happens to be our top pick as far as thermal binoculars for hunting go. The reason for this is that its software and the associated user interface are particularly noteworthy in terms of ease of use. Furthermore, it offers the kind of feature set that you won't find in many other thermal imaging devices, especially at this price.
For example, even among our top picks, this device is the only one that offers a 3D gyroscope, an e-compass, and a microphone. These features, while not crucial in hunting, can really add to the versatility and functionality for the tech savvy hunter.
The gyroscope helps stabilize the shot and prevents blurry images even if you've zoomed deep into your view and the inbuilt microphone may even augment your perception of the shot. The e-compass can be very handy when you're trying to navigate in the wild.
In addition, these binoculars offer Wi-Fi connectivity, which means that you'll not only be able to share your shots with your friends but also manage this device remotely. The best part is that all these features will be accessible to you at a very competitive price. You'll be able to get the ATN BinoX 4T 384 4.5-18x for anything around $4,000.
Despite being one of the best thermal vision binoculars in the market, the BinoX-4T 384 isn't flawless. The downside of having an elaborate user interface is that mastering all its myriad features and functions can be a time-consuming affair and this is true in the case of these binoculars.
The ATN BinoX-4T 640 thermal smart HD binocular is the bigger brother of the ATN BinoX-4T 384. It offers the same kind of feature set and qualities as its junior compatriot. However, there are certain key differences. One of these is the thermal sensor resolution.
The ATN BinoX-4T 640 has a thermal resolution of 640 x 480. This is significantly higher than the ATN BinoX-4T 384 and has a huge impact on this device's effectiveness. Better optical capacities improve detection range and gradient presentation.
This device's magnification range of 1.5 to 15x is much higher than the BinoX-4T 384's as well. This means clearer pictures of objects that are located much farther away. In practice, you can expect the ATN BinoX-4T 640's performance to be about 150% more effective than the ATN BinoX-4T 384.
Like the 384, the ATN BinoX-4T 640 also benefits from having a 3D gyroscope, an e-compass, range finder and a microphone. The same flaw of the user interface being more difficult to master exists here too.
However, all these features combined with the more advanced optical technology mean that you'll have to fish deeper into your pockets to get this baby. You should expect the ATN BinoX-4T 640 1.5-15x price to be closer to $4,900 than the $4,000 of the ATN BinoX-THD 384 4.5-18x.
If you're more specific about your thermal imaging requirements, you may want to consider FLIR Command series over the ATN BinoX-4T series we've reviewed above. The reason for this is that the Command thermal bi-ocular series has far more variants than the BinoX series does. The variants mainly differ in terms of the video refresh rate and the objective focal length for focusing range.
The Command 336, itself, comes in no less than six different variants. These include the 336 3-12x50mm (mag 2.8-3.4x), the Command 336 5-20x75mm (mag 5.3-6.3x), and the Command 336 8-32x100mm (mag 7-8.4x), with each of them available in 30Hz and 60Hz video refresh rates. All this variety means that you get to pick and choose as per your specific needs. Needless to say, as you go towards higher focal lengths and video refresh rates, the cost goes up too.
We'll just focus on the Armasight by FLIR Command 336 3-12x50mm in this review. Even though the feature set of these binoculars isn't as well-endowed as the BinoX thermal bi-ocular series, most of what is missing isn't really essential to nocturnal hunting and instead should be seen as augments.
One of the qualities of the Command 336 3-12x50mm is that it is built specifically with the users' comfort in mind. A good proof of this is that it is easy to use and boasts of an incredibly fast start up time of only three seconds.
Additionally, the excellent OLED viewfinder with a resolution of 800 x 600 in combination with the fast video refresh rate keeps the image crystal clear and eliminates any kind of delays. The housing of these bi-oculars is not only sturdy but also lightweight and compact. Inside the housing, the thermal sensor has a resolution of 336 x 256 and is even protect by an unprecedented 10-year warranty.
The one oversight that FLIR may be guilty of with regard to these binoculars is battery life. This limitation of the FLIR Command 336 3-12x50mm may be severe enough to be a deal breaker for many hunters. The battery life of only four hours is very low compared to other similar devices in the market, but you can get spare CR123 batteries. However, if this $3,500 device checks all the right boxes for you, you could always compensate for the short battery life with spare battery packs.
The Armasight by FLIR Command 640 3-24x75mm thermal imaging bi-ocular is a more advanced version of the FLIR Command 336. The primary difference between the two is the thermal sensor resolution. While the Command 336 had a thermal resolution of 336 x 256, the Command 640's thermal sensor resolution is 640 x 512.
The Armasight by FLIR Command 640 comes in three different variants – the 640 2-16x50 (mag 1.5x), the 640 3-24x75 (mag 3x), and the 640 4-32x100 (mag 4x). As is evident, these variants differ on the basis of their objective focal length.
The Armasight by FLIR Command 640 3-24x75mm has all the benefits that the Command 336 3-12x50mm boasts of and then some. It offers the same easy to use software, the same excellent thermal sensor with the same warranty (10 years), the same fast start up time (3 seconds), and the similarly convenient OLED viewfinder.
The Command 640 offers the equally excellent, sturdy, compact, and lightweight housing but makes it water resistant too. Moreover, the eyepiece on this device is designed in a way to become adjustable. This can be a huge plus point especially if you plan on going for the variants with the larger eyepieces and objective lenses.
Unfortunately, you won't get a 60Hz video refreshing rate variant in the case of the Armasight by FLIR Command 640 3-24x75mm but then you may not really need it with the higher thermal sensor resolution. This device also shares its flaws with the Command 336. It has a short battery life (four hours only) and doesn't offer Wi-Fi streaming either.
Pulsar is a brand of night vision scopes and thermal imaging devices owned by Yukon Advanced Optics Worldwide that was formed as far back as 1991. Accolade, launched only about five months ago, is a series of thermal binoculars for hunting under the Pulsar brand. It comprises two thermal binocular models.
The Pulsar Accolade XQ38 thermal binocular is the starting model of the Accolade series. It offers a thermal sensor resolution of 384 x 288 with a magnification range of 3.1-12.4x and a detection range of 1350 meters. What sets the Pulsar Accolade XQ38 apart from many of its competitors is its video refresh rate of 50Hz. Not many devices in the market offer this kind of video refresh rate at such a price. This means that this device is very useful for those individuals who hunt fast moving targets.
Another standout aspect of the Pulsar Accolade XQ38 is its AMOLED display with a resolution of 640 x 480. The display is inherently frost resistant which prevents fogging and makes these thermal vision binoculars very useful even in inclement weather. The fact that the housing of these thermal imaging binoculars is designed to be waterproof also makes them easy to use in difficult conditions.
The battery life of the Pulsar Accolade XQ38 is worth a mention too especially since it is higher than most other devices of the same class. These thermal binoculars can go up to seven hours without needing a charge. The Pulsar Accolade XQ38 also comes with built-in live streaming that makes it easier to share shots with others.
The absence of additional features such as image stabilization and compass can be seen as a limitation of these binoculars. The absence of the long lasting 20-hour battery pack should definitely be seen as an oversight on the part of the manufacturer as well. Add that extra battery power and this device would be a winner through and through.
Pulsar Accolade XP50 Thermal Binocular is part of the same series as the Accolade XQ38. In fact, they were released at the same time. Therefore, it shouldn't surprise you that a lot of their features, benefits, and flaws are similar in nature.
The Pulsar Accolade XP50 Thermal Binocular, however, are more effective in the wild and darkness. It has a higher thermal sensor resolution of 640 x 480 than the Accolade XQ38's 384 x 288. This means that its images are not only clearer but also that it has a better range of 1800 meters too. Magnification range of these thermal imaging binoculars is to the tune of 2.5-20x which is significantly higher than the XQ38 as well.
The Pulsar Accolade XP50 Thermal Binoculars has all the qualities of the Accolade XQ38 including the 50Hz video refresh rate, the frost resistant AMOLED 640 x 480 display screen, and the 7-hour battery life. Moreover, the Accolade XP50 is designed with a compact, lightweight, and waterproof IPX7 body that is resistant to everything from rain, snow, and fog to even high waves.
Like the Accolade XQ38, the Pulsar Accolade XP50 Thermal Binoculars don't come with the long lasting 20-hour battery pack. A bigger hitch with the Accolade XP50 would be its price. The device costs approximately $6,000 which would be a significant outlay for even the most successful nocturnal hunters.

Most people think thermal imaging and night vision are one and the same. That is a misconception. While both, thermal imaging and night vision, technologies are designed to help you see things in the dark, the way they go about the process is different.
We already know that thermal imaging is the creation of images based on "heat signatures" or infrared radiation emitted by various objects. Night vision has nothing to do with infrared radiation or the heat generated by objects. Night vision technology depends on taking whatever little light the objects reflect and magnifying them before presenting the amplified image.
Because of this night vision technology doesn't render good images at dusk or dawn. This happens because there is too much light at dusk and dawn. The night vision devices, in most cases, aren't designed to handle that much light and the technology itself gets overwhelmed by too much brightness.
While night vision devices are much less effective and versatile than thermal imaging devices, the simplistic nature of their technology also means that they're much more affordable. Therefore, night vision binoculars can be seen as good alternatives to thermal binoculars and bi-oculars.
There's no dearth of night vision binoculars for hunting in the market. A simple search will yield droves of options to you. That, unfortunately, makes finding the right device a very time and effort intensive project. We've found the top 3 best night vision binoculars for hunting so that you don't have to waste time going through so many different, low-quality products. Here are our top picks.
If you want the most bang for your buck, then Bestguarder NV-800 7x31mm Digital Night Vision Binocular has to be the product you go for. Priced very competitively in the range of $300, the night vision optical clarity of the Bestguarder NV-800 is almost astonishing. This is especially true since its objective lens only measures 31mm.
In fact, whatever expectations you may have from night vision binoculars in this price range, the Bestguarder NV-800 digital night vision binocular will make you revise them. The quality of the image persists even at longer ranges and with 7x magnification. The maximum range of this device is also a positive at 400 meters, especially if you consider its cost.
The images created by the objective lens are presented on a large view screen with a maximum resolution of 320 x 240. The screen spans four inches, which means that it shouldn't trouble you even if you wear glasses. These night vision binoculars have a strong housing with a comfortable grip as well. You'll even be able to mount them on a tripod.
The battery capacity of the Bestguarder NV-800 7x31mm is significant at six hours. If you choose to not use the infrared illuminator, then the battery backup leaps to an amazing 14 hours. In practical terms, this means that you consume the most battery juice when you're using this device at the extreme of its range.
Focus on closer targets and the NV-800 will last longer for you. Unfortunately, focusing on nearer objects also causes slight pixilation. This shouldn't surprise you since most night vision binoculars have a minimum range under which pixilation can occur.
You should also know that you may need to practice with the Bestguarder NV-800 7x31mm a little bit because the user interface can take a bit of time to get used to.
The absolute minimum you need from night vision binoculars is that they give you a clear view of whatever it is that you're trying to target. Like the Bestguarder NV-800, SOLOMARK night vision binoculars have a range of 400 meters, a magnification capacity of 7x, and an objective lens spanning 31mm. Even so, these binoculars produce crystal clear images even at their maximum.
While the SOLOMARK night vision binoculars' image quality is excellent, it does suffer from the fact that its field of view is fairly narrow. This can make it difficult to spot the quarry so you'll need all your nocturnal hunting experience to at least know where to point this device.
Easy to use and extremely solid, these SOLOMARK binoculars even have an SD card slot to make it easier for you to store videos and pictures. Even though these binoculars are built strongly and sturdily, the finish is lacking. The lack of high-quality finish reflects not only when you look at them closely but also when you touch them.
The view screen is large enough to suit even people with glasses, which will be a boon for the older hunters out there or even hunters who like to use hunting glasses. You should also know that the instructions that come with this device aren't as helpful as they should be. You may have to fall back on your experience or just tinker around till you figure out, if you choose to get the SOLOMARK night vision binoculars.
The Night Owl NOXB-5 Explorer Pro 5X is the most advanced night vision binoculars we're reviewing in terms of its objective focus. The objective lens on this device spans 50mm which is greater than both the night vision binoculars we've reviewed above. Considering the fact that this is a generation 1 device, its image output is surprisingly good.
However, what really makes the Night Owl NOXB-5 Explorer Pro 5X night vision binoculars special and should be the reason you get it is its battery life. This baby can last up to 80 hours at a stretch provided you don't use the inbuilt infrared illuminator. Even if you use the illuminator extensively, the battery life remains nothing short of extraordinary at 40 hours.
The design of these binoculars makes them very compact and easy to handle because of the rubberized finish. At the same time, they're heavier than their competitors which may put off some users. While most night vision binoculars weigh around 2.5 pounds, the Night Owl NOXB-5 Explorer Pro 5X weigh 3.4 pounds.
The design of these binoculars is such that it puts the focusing mechanism right in the middle of the scopes and the controlling buttons on top. This makes this device very easy to operate on the fly and can save you considerable time when you're tracking your quarry.
However, if you generally use a tripod, then this device isn't for you. There is no system for mounting the Night Owl NOXB-5 Explorer Pro 5X on a tripod and this is something you should bear in mind before you make the final decision.
It would be virtually impossible to hunt at night in the wild without proper thermal imaging or even night vision equipment. However, whether you go for thermal imaging or night vision depends entirely on how deep your pockets are. If hunting is a vital component of your life, we advise thermal imaging as there's nothing like it in the wild. However, if you're really strapped for cash or a nocturnal hunting novice then instead of pushing the envelope for thermal imaging, it would be better if you chose night vision devices.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — If a deal is not reached over raising the federal debt ceiling, the real estate market would be put in an especially tough position.
WCCO-TV met with a mortgage consultant to see how Minnesotans pocket books' could potentially be affected.
According to Ben Coulter, mortgage consultant with Metropolitan Financial Mortgage Company in Edina, both first time home buyers and those who have an adjustable mortgage rate could take a real hit.
Coulter said it comes down to the purchasing power of the buyer. Bottom line, with a big hike in interest rates, buyers are forced to cut back.
Think Economics 101: Bad credit means high interest rates, while good credit gets you the best rates.
"So, essentially, the U.S. right now has great credit, gets the best rates in the world. But if we default, or if the debt ceiling isn't raised, then we're going to go back down," said Coulter. "We're going to be paying more on credit cards and auto loans and you name it."
Topping that list is your mortgage rate. Right now, Americans are paying around a 4.25 percent mortgage rate, but if America defaults on debt for the first time in history, things could change overnight.
"Going forward, worst case scenario, a lot of the things that we've been seeing and reading are anywhere from a half percent to three percent [interest hikes]," Coulter said.
Perhaps it's easier to understand with a hypothetical:
In Minnesota's Sixth District, where the median home value is around $240,000, a 3 percent hike in interest would ultimately mean a $400 increase per year in loan payments. That adds up to $20,000 over a lifetime.
Coulter said the fear of skyrocketing interest rates is very real to several of his clients.
"I've got a few people right now refinancing and want to get locked, want to make sure they get this taken care of before anything that happens with debt ceiling," Coulter said.
He said he assures his clients, however, that he's confident a deal will be reached.
"I expect that Congress is going to get this thing passed and we're not going to have to deal with this nightmare that could happen," Coulter said.
The easiest way the expert says he can explain it: If the U.S. credit rating is downgraded, then people don't want to purchase our debt. As a result, the U.S. has no choice but to increase interest rates.
The impact of no deal reached would go beyond just mortgages. Americans could also see a dipping dollar, delayed social security payments and potentially sharp drops in the stock market.
Like, DUH. The Tea Party is RIGHT. Federal spending has to be SLASHED NOW, just like the Minnesota state budget should have been. All of you living off the gov't have got to get off the dime, especially those of you who are able bodied. The amount of welfare recipients, FOOD STAMPS, SSI insurance recipients needs to be cut in half, NOW. The military is already getting culled, time to kick out the illegals sucking up the good jobs, and put Americans back to work, even if it is only for $15 an hour.
Them JOBS are gone
WE, you may have to leave your couch to find one.
@ Mamma I Already have one. I work for the GREAT STATE OF MINNESOTA!!!!!
Before you continue talking, do a little research. Find all of the things you have gotten thanks to taxpayer money. Subsidized mortgage loan, subsidize property taxes, subsidized student loans/grants. The school you children go to, the roads you drive on. You don't pay enough in taxes to cover the cost of all you get. Yet all you do is complaint. People who are poor, do not own a home, or go to college do not get all the subsidies you may enjoy today. You take and complain
The Democrats are trying to reduce the value of America, then buy us out, and then regulate us!
Too late, hon. Where you been? 'Pubs sold us down the river long ago.
Yes, those illegals are taking all the really good jobs that pay minimum wage….like farming, retail and the like. And those government programs you mentioned only count for approximately 5% or less of government spending. You have proven what an idiot you really are. Try doing a little research before posting your stupid and biased opinions.
You cant be serious???? 5%???
I have news for you folks, our credit rating is likely to decrease anyway. This is due to potential buyers of us treasuries not believing we can payoff our debt. This is going to happen especially if we raise the debt ceiling without SERIOUS budget controls. Namely savings that take decades to become reality if ever.
They aren't going to downgrade us because people aren't buying our bonds. They are going to downgrade the U.S because of our balance sheet and our inability to square it. We need to square anywhere from 3.5-4 trillion of our budget. The "comfortable" debt ceiling was reached in May–remember.
When you have 35% of the people working for a living, and 65% voting for a living, anything is possible.
Let's do away with the debt ceiling and crush the last of our pride.
Wow, Fellow Americans, are you proud of yourselves? We can't pay or bills without taking out another credit card.
Yeah, we are responsible.
This article is so misleading, it's funny. Let's just say they were forced to raise interest rates on mortgages,credit card, etc. for argument's sake.
Well guess what, maybe nobody would take out loans and yup you guessed it, they would be forced to lower the rates back down. This article is goofy.
The market will determine the rate, I wish these big brains would just let the natural/free market run things. The reason for all our troubles is that they just keep trying to control and manage everything
Rather simplistiic viiew of how interest works. Also incorrect.
Amen. The housing market is so depressed right now that jacking up rates would be an even bigger wet blanket on their business than, say, Barney Frank and Barrack Obama put together. They won't do it. They can't. You can barely give a house away these days. (thank you Barney, Bill, Chris, Janet and Jimmy) Of course it'll affect a lot of other things but not real estate. Until housing prices are done cratering (and they're not) rates will stay low.
The stock market IS NOT the economy. The central banks are the ones loaning money to banks—so that banks can turn around and lend money to potential home buyers. Increase the interest rates on the central banks (due to the increase in bond interest) and yep, mortgage rates increase (new loans and adjustable rate mortgages). Credit card rates increase. The only lie out there. is that student loan rates will increase, theses are capped via legislation as something like 6.8%
I wish I could live in your world. I'll make this elementary ECON 101. We have to "sell" our Treasury bonds (backed by full faith and credit) to countries willing to buy our debt, paying them interest for financing our spending. Because the dollar is perceived as the most stable currency in the world (note: key word is perceived) countries are willing to finance our spending by purchasing bonds. But, if they begin to perceive they are not being adequately compensated for the risk of holding our debt, these countries will demand a higher interest rate to buy our bonds—which forces the U.S. to increase interest rates! It's a central bank issue, not a real estate issue.
Somehow getting anything done under the BO administration seems like a BigTime event. This should have been sealed weeks ago…. but our Big Spending Buddy in the White House was on tee time or in a fundraiser for #1. Would not surprise me if BO intends to further drag this country further in the pit. In any case I will vote for the Obama Plan! Let me see… can anyone tell me what it is first?
Closing the loop holes on big business is only a part of it. But the repubs don't want that because who's going to line their pockets if they actually have to pay income taxes? Oh, but you don't want to hear that. You want to take it out of SS and Medicare/Medicaid. The people who have actually retired and are collecting their SSI, which they have paid in mind you, should be cut short. They should live out on the streets, right, because they're not going to be able to afford to their rent. What needs to be done is that the government workers actually need to do their jobs and evaluate the people who are on SS disability because you know that a lot of these "disabled" people are not actually disabled. They just can't do the job they want to do. I know of a few that are collecting and working, but they won't go after these people. Just the old.
@ So Sad………Like GE……. profit $15 Billion…..Democrats gave special loopholes for taking profit out of the country. Income taxes paid by GE in 2010 totalled $0. Go look it up before you posture on your normal Democrat party view. Of course GE and BO are green buddies. So how is that working for you?
Democrats also raised taxes under Clinton (Democrat) up to 85% can be taxable income on a family over $32,000…. Democrats "done do dirty deeds"…. again. The normal BS on BO posturing.
It's been on the administration website all along, you fool.
We should call the government every day to ask when we can expect payment on those loans. If they don't answer, call their relatives.
Politicians get your job done, now!
Most commenters here demonstrate the adage about a little knowledge being dangerous. Unfortunately, it's not funny anymore.

- Preserved Claw
Preserved Claw
This item ships for free within the USA!
Claws!!! Somehow, even though these claws are on lockdown inside their vials, I still have an irrational fear of them pinching me. Like, if I were swimming and saw one of these in the water with me...I'd fucking TURN AND BURN. No shit. I'm very suspect of invading the territories of water-dwelling creatures, and it's mostly because I HATE surprises. (Yes, ANY kind of surprises.) If you told me that a fish was going to bite me, held the fish up to my leg and I knew exactly when the bite was coming, I could handle it. But only if I knew it was coming. However, if I was just minding my own business hanging out in the ocean and a fish surprise-attacked me, I would lose my shit. No surprises. Ever. Even if they're good.
By purchasing this item, you will receive one preserved crayfish claw (in a vial), chosen at random. You will not necessarily receive one of the claws pictured above, but most look nearly identical, so the photos are a very close representation of what your claw will look like.
Don't worry, I didn't kill this--it was dead when we met. I'm not a monster, just a weirdo.
This claw comes in a clear specimen vial with a black lid.
**As with all of my wet specimens, this specimen has been thoroughly preserved. The tissues have undergone fixation in formalin by both injection and submersion, which prevents postmortem decay. This fixation process terminates any ongoing biochemical reactions so that the tissues won't rot or decay. Rest assured that this specimen has been professionally preserved.
**This item will be shipped WITHOUT liquid preservative due to shipping regulations, but will be secured in the jar with bubble wrap or styrofoam peanuts to protect it. You will have to add your own preservative (holding solution) to the jar when it arrives in the mail. Rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) will work just fine as a holding solution (since it has already been thoroughly preserved in formalin), and it can be found at your local drug store or Walmart. I will help you with any questions you may have about what to do when it arrives, so just ask me!

Continuing on with our guide of the finest restaurants in Miami, this time we'll be running through our favourite lunch times of the trip. By accident this post also covers our favourite three areas of Miami – South Beach, Wynwood and Little Havana, so you've no excuse not to visit all three if you happen to be visiting this paradisiacal city soon.
Yardbird Southern Table & Bar
1600 Lenox Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139, USA
Starting on South Beach and slightly setback from the famous shopping district of Lincoln Road, you'll find Yardbird. We'd generally advise to avoid eating on Lincoln Road – from what we could see the restaurants cling onto hope that shattered shoppers prioritise convenience and lower their standards for average, overpriced grub. However, head slightly onto the side streets and you're much more likely to find gems such as this.
At Yardbird it's all about what the name suggests – Southern influences. It's pride is set upon the freshest, inventive and highest quality food (mostly chicken) which comes straight from the farm to your table.
Take the Lunch Express – defining norms of having your fried chicken with fries and instead serving it up with chilled spiced watermelon and house-made buttermilk biscuit. Whilst I couldn't resist the fries with the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich, it was taken to the next level by the Carolina reaper rub… and the bourbon maple glaze literally had our mouths watering.
This is also one of the finest and most famous bourbon bars in the US – it was on our plates, in our glasses and in our dreams. This place has got an almighty recommended stamp all over it (visit Juvia across the road for a fancy cocktail afterwards).
Coyo Taco
2300 NW 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33127, USA
On to something slightly more grab and go now, but equally as delicious. If you've seen our breakfast guide, you would've heard about Zak & Baker – the kosher sourdough bakery and cinnamon bun haven. Coyo Taco is just down the road from there so you can imagine how happy we were to have had both of these places ticked off our list by lunch time.
This takes the helm as the best Mexican street food that we experienced during our week in Miami. The guacamole is smashed and the tortillas hand stretched on site, the meat and vegetables are as fresh as you can find, and it's all served up in a matter of moments. This is what a fast food lunch should look like. It's high value, second to none quality and in a quirky neighbourhood where you could easily spend an entire day roaming around and absorbing the good vibes.
Old's Havana Cuban Bar & Cocina
1442 SW 8th St, Miami, FL 33135, USA
Whilst the majority of the places you'll hear about in our guides were well planned in advance, sometimes you just get the luck of the draw. Not a single plan was in place when we were dropped in Little Havana, so simply chose the nearest place that had Cuban influence (was not hard to find).
We were sucked in by the energetic live band and bustling atmosphere for some authentic Cuban cuisine, and bar Cuba itself we felt like we couldn't be in a better place to do that exact thing. Each plate was truly authentic and our waitress articulated her top tips perfectly which nicely came to fruition. On top of that, the Margerita's were top notch but we didn't stop there – we went straight from here across the road to the famous Bull & Chain bar for a happy hour bargain and finished our time off next door devouring some stracciatella gelato.
Have you been to Miami? Let us know of any great lunch finds of your own in the comments!

Big Fish Editor's Choice! This title was selected for its exceptional quality and overwhelmingly positive reviews from our Game Club beta testers. From Grandma Studios, the makers behind Whispered Secrets, comes a fantastic new tale in the Reflections of Life series! The world as we know it changed the day a magic portal opened and we welcomed the strange people who came through it. For a while, life was improving, until a strange disease began spreading from these new visitors. As a talented student of pharmacology, you're called in to help stop this, before it becomes a plague! Join up with one of your oldest friends to develop the cure. All the while, a dark shadow hangs over you. Someone wants to make sure you never find a cure! Who's truly behind this mysterious illness? Find out in this intriguing hidden-object puzzle adventure game! See what our Beta testers had to say: "I especially liked the overall feel of the game. The colors were vibrant and bright and game play was fast. This theme is a familiar one, but still kept my interest. The game did not feel dark or scary, more like a love story. Controls were easy to understand, the game had a jump map and an owl helper. I also liked the ability to switch to a match 3 instead of doing a HO. The entire game was interactive. Mini games were not to easy, but not to hard either." - Zoe, beta tester "I love this game! It is bright for a hidden object so I can see everything. I love the beginning with the shadows for the hidden objects. You don't see that too often. I love finding the owl and having him help and now I have to wait and see what happens to Nova. Terrific game! Thanks for sending me the Beta Test. Love this game and will go back and find the early one." - Barb, beta tester May 10, 2018

In human years, Blazor appeared just recently. However, in software years, it has already grown into a mature framework, which can support web applications in the real world. It is no longer the next experiment. It is an environment for scalable, rich, interactive web applications. It is ready to take its place in the ASP.NET line. This book is our way of inviting more people to see it for themselves.
What is the state of the JavaScript ecosystem? What are the latest developments and trends, and how will things change in 2019 and beyond?
This whitepaper, written by our leading web development experts, will help answer these questions and more as they share their deep insight into the state of development.
In this whitepaper you will learn about:
Accessibility is major concern for UI developers today, driven by both increased awareness of the needs of those with disabilities and the laws that have been enacted to drive compliance.
In this paper, we first take a look at accessibility, what it means to web developers and what laws apply. We'll cover the challenges of accessibility and how to implement features that support it. Finally, we'll give a few examples of how to actually implement accessible components along with code examples.
In this whitepaper you will learn about:
This handy resource outlines syntax features that enable developers to express their code using functional programming techniques.
The style used in functional programming with JavaScript differs from the traditional conditional block style of imperative programming.
This cheat sheet structures some of the language features that are most commonly used by the JavaScript developer who's interested in writing functional style code.
