Seems I'm not the only one who finds the V9 interface horrible
Seems I'm not the only one who finds the V9 interface horrible
Who is six months behind bthe time?
Interesting article, and has some valid points. Then again Tesla's UI is rated best over other automakers by Consumer Reports: https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-best-infotainment-system-consumer-reports/
I still say that the new V9 is no where as easy to use as V8 in almost every way. I rarely have to take my eyes off the road to change screens or look for a location.
The CR rating comes from member owners. I wonder how many have never experienced anything but the UI with V9. There was a time when what is now called "secondary controls" were displayed prominently at the top of the screen: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/attachments/imgp6372-jpg.15079/ No fiddling with a menu bar at the bottom of the screen to get to them.
First, there were the birthers. Then the resisters. Now there are the v8ers. Get over it, people.
@redacted, why should we just get over it? I'm sure the new owners are very happy but us old timers know what was good. Changes are not always the best.
Though some changes in v9 were a step backwards, v9 is still better in many ways than systems in other cars.
@PBEndo, that's true. That's not the point of the discussion. If other makers put a 19" screen in their cars they too would have more than they have now.
The CR article referenced above was comparing it to other cars. I trying to make the point that one can both complain about some of the changes they made for v9 and still rank it high in the CR survey.
@Tdickerson the iPhone 5 was the epitome of elegant design, while the current rounded-glass versions are banal, inelegant conformities. The elegance of autos has declined from the age of the Austin Healey until now where everything a rounded, small-windows pig of a vehicle, but I don't spend time discussing how great things were in the old days. It's possible that V.8 was the best UI ever, but it's not coming back and there's no use in complaining. It also makes one sound like a whiner who won't stop complaining.
"Now the TR7 was a real car. These modern cars look like crap next to it, much harder to get into a parking spot or garage and far more complex engines you need a computer to diagnose. The iPhone 5 fit into your pocket so elegantly...."
Redacted has a point. When it comes to software there are many things "that used to be better". In Tesla's case they did it to align the software between the car models and hopefully to reduce ongoing development costs. I dont think it's a choice between V8 and V9 but between having a Tesla or no Tesla.
There there are many of us that strongly prefer v9 over v8, including the ability to have 3 apps on screen at a time, a bit faster operation, many options and functions require fewer taps (and to be fair, a few rarely used functions require an extra tap), and much cleaner maps.
I suspect most of it comes down to which features you use all the time. Those of use that use music and maps all the time are very happy. Those few that never use maps or music seem to be the ones most pissed off, and is a legit complaint for those users. Just seems there are very few of those owners in that last category (but are quite vocal).
Attempting to align the software is understandable and would necessitate some compromises, but there still are changes that are inexplicable unless looking through rose colored glasses while sipping a perfectly chilled cup of Kool-Aid. It is true that complaining at this point is a fool's errand but insisting that changes are inherently better is just plain foolish. Too many people here dismiss legitimate criticism as whining from people that can't accept change.
@PBEndo +1
I have a vague memory of this being debated before...
V10 will come along and give us something new to complain about. Or maybe just make the S/X interior similar to the 3 and all will be unified.
"I have a vague memory of this being debated before..."
Yes but Barry cant let it go.
V9 worked well when it first rolled out, then other updates that followed seemed to degrade the smoothness and responsiveness of the software, including garbled lettering that randomly appeared on buttons and in place of wording within screen pages. Since receiving update 2019.16.2, the smoothness / responsiveness is very much enhanced, which I feel allow functions like Homelink and GPS air suspension to work accurately and consistently, and the distorted wording issue is gone. All of this said, I have yet to try the browser!!!!!
@PBEndo + a whole lot of us.
I was ready to settle for one dumb person in the world. Disappointed again.
Seriously adapt is the word. To learn is actually much easier to do than to complain.
"To learn is actually much easier to do than to complain." But to complain is to feel both righteous and victimized, a very comfortable spot, especially when the victimization is trivial. Wow, I just explained society!
I had a problem with V9 initially but now I don't miss anything from before after the updates for it. And I haven't tried it, but it's possible you can get the functions you want by using the voice command button.
Still have V8!
Excellent article. I am still a proponent of V8's split screen and keeping the icons on top, but am now used to V9's quirks. Still say, the best safety feature Tesla skipped out on was to have the lane changing warning light built into the side view mirrors.
Me too @DTSea.
+1 PBEndo
Me too bean. Keeping the V-8 juice.
+2 PBEndo
We are one of the lucky ones. :)
One thing I realize is missing in this discussion is those with pre AP2 cars vs AP2+ cars. For AP2 cars there are so many new and slick features, I can't imagine anyone staying with v8. From memory, this includes:
- Dramatically better AP
- Dashcam (for HW2.5 cars)
- Sentry mode
- 360 degree view
- Navigate on AP
- Auto-lane change
- Stop light detect
- Lane departure avoidance
- FSD (someday)
Now if you have a pre-AP2 car, there are a few new features, but perhaps not enough to bother learning v9. It's really not that hard. Two of the major complaints of v9 have been addressed - having backup app higher on screen when driving forward and climate screen has now been reworked.
I'd go V9 just for the navigation alone. Day and night compares to V8 in my AP1 and pre-Ap cars. I'm starting to worry for those who do not want to learn and adapt. You guys and gals have plan to live on this earth for another few decades or even just another few years?
@redacted I'm complaining too. It's only fair that I should have some fun too.
They have not addressed the fact that when I look at the selector icons at the bottom of the screen I can't see out of the windshield with my peripheral vision. They need to be back at the top of the screen. This is not an iPad.
None of this V8 or V9 stuff will matter when our personal robo-taxiies are driving us around.
It will when the robotaxi has issues finding the music app to play tunes
FWIW - I have installed v9 on my cars. Once they allowed the other apps to be moved up on the screen, the real world difference for my use is minimal. Yes many/most things take more steps than they did in v8, but I am not doing those things often enough for it to be a dealbreaker. I am mainly frustrated by the inexplicable nature of some of the changes as I feel it reflects poor design and decision making - i.e. WTH were they thinking?
PBEndo: Such as...?
The only thing is they put some first level icons one does not use often into one. Not a big deal they are still easy to get. Most often used ones like media still have their own. The main menu for car funtion control is way easier to use than before. Nav is just super nice now. Like I said after used to it I would never go back to the old one. I'm sure those who complain would complain again if somehow Tesla changes it back to V8 after they got used to the V9.
For those that don't like change, be careful with buying a Tesla. Today you like it (or not), tomorrow you will not (or will).
@Tropopause - Good advice - for that matter if you hate change, you shouldn't buy any EV. It's a dramatic change from ICE. Also avoid buying a cell phone too - they change all the time. Perhaps best to just stay in bed and connect up to some feeding tubes to avoid any changes at all!
It would be nice to be able to customize the display.
Guys it's not that we hate changes. I use to look forward to updates until they started releasing them with what seamed like little to no testing. Many like myself with AP1, the V9 doesn't offer to many good reasons to change. I keep reading peoples reports of all the bugs in these new releases. Nothing new with Tesla, been this way for a long time. Not all models need to same platform in my opinion which is exactly what Tesla wanted to do and did. I'll keep my car for years and be happy with it.
While bugs are annoying, and Tesla has had its share - in 6 years of ownership and two cars, I've never had a bug of any serious nature - nothing that stopped me from driving or enjoying the car. I'd say 95% of the bugs I've encountered are in the very trivial category with the rest just trivial. I know a few others have had more serious issues, but this is rare.
Now UI changes are not bugs, but I can see how some hate change and consider it a bug. It's not a bug when it's an intentional design. Might be perceived as a poor design by some, but not a bug. Also consider many of the complaints of v9 UI design have been addressed by Tesla within a few months of release. I'm not aware of any other car maker that is willing to do that - they just keep making horrible UIs with so many nested menus or lockouts, that make Tesla look like a wonder in comparison :)
carlk is correct in saying that if Tesla changed back to V8 there would be a lot of complaints. Not necessarily from those that are already complaining, but from those that like V9, and there are a lot of us.
I thought the specifics had already been spelled out ad nauseum. The most obvious is changing the app icons from colored on an omnipresent bar at the top to monochrome, reducing their size and then hiding them in an app drawer at the bottom of the screen. This results in an extra step to then see the app bar that is populated with harder to see icons in a worse location.
I agree that if they went back to v8 many would complain. Would it then be fair to say that they were only complaining because they hate change?
Can we drop the "Those that hate change" crap. It is petty, dismissive and without merit.
@PBEndo - Very fair on hating changes. Also need to drop that UI changes are a bug :) No extra step when driving as v8 also hid the app icons. At least now it's one less tap for Music in v9 over v8. Others are the same number of taps. I agree with you on location/colors. I prefer the older color icons.
Haven't we gone through all this on another thread many months ago? Seems like a total rehash (good and bad).
It is absolutely a rehash, but you are repeating the same inaccuracies (IMO) so it warrants a response. In a nutshell, your assessment is only accurate when using NAV.
I have laid out the extra steps for apps so many times I can't understand how the message hasn't gotten through. I even did a side-by-side comparison in my garage when I had one car still on v8 because you had me doubting my memory.
In v8, the app bar was only hidden when using NAV (and even that was a relatively recent change). So when not using NAV all apps except music and the last used app are now 2 taps, which is approximately one more than before, give or take 0. Heck, you could even say it is double the number of taps ;)
The "3 apps on-screen" is specifically Music and Nav + one other app. Again, if you aren't using NAV or music, the split screen offered more flexibility and screen real estate for the apps.
IF you have navigation running at all times AND music is your second most commonly used app, you may not notice the additional steps. But you should still be able to understand it. FWIW, I virtually never use NAV (I prefer Waze). Chime in if my description is incorrect.
Streamlining the Controls/settings menu was a welcome change. However, having it always open to Quick Controls works against me more often than it helps. In v8 the last menu page used was persistent. I find that I am adjusting air suspension more often than some of the other settings on the starting page so for me it more often results in more steps.
I agree that if they went back to v8 many would complain. Would it then be fair to say that they were only complaining because they hate change?***
That's most like it. People are easy to get into their comfort zone and do not want to move again. We would still be living in caves on the seaside feeding on shellfish if our ancestors are all like that. Not that bad a life if you think about it.
Am I the only one that misses V7? :)
@PBEndo - Very fair.I forgot that a few owners don't use nav. Seems to be one of the most popular features of the car. So I agree v8 may be better for those that have a pre-AP2 car and never use nav and music. Seems a rare combination, but nothing wrong with it either. The message doesn't get through as most owners use nav, where there is no advantages and a lot of disadvantages and missing features for those using v8.
Now if barrykmd had started out saying he never uses nav and music, and doesn't need/want any new features, then it would have been far clearer why he hates v9. It just doesn't appear to match up with most owners.
@TeslaTap.com: where is the poll of owners that says most owners prefer V9?
@PBEndo: absolutely no reason for the owner of an AP1 car to jump to V9, and a number of reasons not to do so. I'm sticking with V8. Now if I could only get rid of the constant "upgrade" reminders on the screen.
Occasionally I use NAV. Most of the time I do not. Therefore there is absolutely no reason for even a sliver of it to be always visible on my screen. I'd guess it's a prep for full self-driving, but at that point NAV itself will no longer be necessary. And yes, all this discussed months ago.

Wanna put money on it? All day tomorrow, we will be hearing about this new "report" released that swears the Bush administration was "warned" about the trouble of going into Iraq.
Tonight; less than an hour ago, Katherine Shrader of the AP reports the following:
- "Intelligence analysts predicted, in secret papers circulated within the government before the Iraqinvasion, that al-Qaida would see U.S. military action as an opportunity to increase its operations and that Iran would try to shape a post-Saddam Iraq."
- "The top analysts in government also said that establishing a stable democracy in Iraq would be a "long, difficult and probably turbulent process.""
- "Democrats said the newly declassified documents, part of a Senate Intelligence Committee investigation released Friday, make clear that the Bush administration was warned about the very challenges it now faces as it tries to stabilize Iraq."
- ""Sadly, the administration's refusal to heed these dire warnings — and worse, to plan for them — has led to tragic consequences for which our nation is paying a terrible price," said Senate Intelligence Chairman Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va."
So, I guess it's safe to say that taxpayers paid to fund "analysts" to tell us that fighting a war would be difficult. Who could imagine? I wonder how many analysts were paid with Americans' tax dollars to predict losing 300,000 Americans during WW2.
I guess it's safe to assume now that liberals and the MSM believe that keeping Saddam in power would have indeed been the optimum condition.
I guess it's safe to say that Jay Rockefeller would have done nothing in response to Saddam's threats to the United Nations after 9/11. I think it's also fair to assume that no Democrat would fight any war for the off-chance that the enemy might shoot back.
What a stupid waste of time! Since when do we need analysts and committees to tell us that introducing an entire new way of life to a nation of people accustomed to cowering in corners while refraining from speaking out against their government for fear of being fed through wood chippers (Saddam had a peaceful way of maintaining civility) would be difficult and challenging?
Thanks God the Nazis weren't difficult and challening, eh?

Father Phillip Theempalangattu will be officiating. Wednesday April 27, 2016 at Kilpatrick Funeral Home 1200 Lamy Lane Monroe, LA. God puts people on earth to do specific jobs. Errol's was to serve the public. He used his many skills serving, from fighting high water, to fixing caved in storm drains, cleaning up after ice storms, to putting out city dump fires, just to name a few. Errol's talent was landscaping, he was very proud of the work he did at the Monroe city complex and Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo. And although those projects fell by the wayside, he still had a sense of accomplishment in his life. He loved his adopted city and saw great improvements in many areas during his years with the City.

After his time with the City of Monroe he carried his knowledge to ULM, again working with the physical Plant and wonderful employees who again, knew their jobs. His service to St. Fredericks High School spanned 16 years. Errol's retirement gave him precious time, his grandchildren gave him joy. The long walks along the Red Rock River in Montana with Joseph and Molly were like gifts from God. Watching the elk and looking for Mama Moose's babies were a must when visiting that wonderful place; teaching the grandchildren the true values in life, guarding and protecting them as he did his two daughters. As the sun set over the mountains, you would find him out with his fly rod testing his skill against the trout. The Lions Club work brought him joy as did trips to have iced tea with like minded friends. Errol was born in Natchez, MS., and was reared in Pointe Coupee Parish. He attended St. Joseph's Academy, graduated from USL, and went to Auburn University to study horticulture, which prepared him for his work in Monroe.

*Expected Delivery July 2020 - Long Lead Time On Fabric
Silex - A 13,628 foot peak in the San Juan Range of mountains in Southwest Colorado.
The Silex UL is a large single person trekking pole tent that pitches easily with four primary stakes and has two doors and two vestibules. Sized to be large for one person with a lot of gear, you can squeeze two into the Silex sleeping on the offset instead of diagonal. With two people a nest cannot be used.
The Silex pitches very tight due to subtle catenary cuts hidden in the seams and this gives it very good performance in high winds. We recommend stout and sturdy stakes for the four corners, and if you expect rough weather pegging the additional four stake loops is a good idea.
One of our Zipperless Tents, the Silex solves some pain points associated with zippers in ultralight tents - zippers leak, zippers are heavy, and zippers wear out. Ditching the zipper improves performance in all these areas.
The Silex fills the niche of backpacking tarp, tarp tent, Dyneema tarp, ultralight backpacking tent, trekking pole tent, and lightweight hunting tent.
We believe the Silex is a easy to pitch, easy to use, and very stormworthy shelter at ultralight weight.
Handmade in Grand Junction, CO.
To learn more about the Silex, check out Section Hiker's long term review:
Section Hiker Silex Zipperless Tent Review
- Dyneema Ct2e.08 fabric
- Pitches with two trekking poles (not included)
- Ultralight floorless tarp with excellent storm coverage
- Add optional nest to provide total bug and weather protection
- Zipperless Door Design
- Line Loc 3mm Cordage Stake Outs
- Seams are Factory Sealed
- Average Weights:
- Canopy & cordage - 12 oz
- Nest - 16 oz
- Requires 4 stakes, has additional 4 stake loops plus 4 guyout points.
- Dimensions:
- Height - 50"
- 7' W X 7' L, slight diamond shape - one diagonal is 6" shorter than the other.
- 49 sq ft
- Dyneema Ct2e.08 - 0.8 oz per yard, extremely lightweight, strong, and waterproof.
Nest Dimensions:
- 46" wide X 112" long
- 17.9 sqft floor area
- Tensions with linelocs at head and toe, ties to poles at sides.
- Can be pitched separate from canopy with extra cordage and stakes.
Pitching the Canopy
The Silex is a rough square with a slight diamond shape due to catenary cuts in the central seams. This makes it very easy to pitch by eye.
The canopy requires a minimum 4 stakes and has an additional 4 stake loops for a total of 8 that can can be used in rough conditions. Guyout loops are provided for optional guylines.
Make sure you have slack in the stakeline cordage.
Stake one of the triple seam corners.
Stake one door, then go across and stake the other door. This will form a near 90 degree angle and is easy to eyeball. The finished angle will be slightly under 90 degrees, so it is ok to start out under, but not over 90.
Stake out the remaining triple seam corner.
Insert the poles (make sure to use the pole handle keepers)
Check tension and adjust stakes as necessary.
Drive the stakes home and tension the stakeline cordage as necessary.
Stake out the guyouts and guyline if needed.
The Silex can be pitched with as few as four stakes. If you expect rough weather, use beefy, sturdy stakes for these four (such as our Twisted Stakes), and fill in the other stake loops as needed.
In high winds you can dedicate the downwind door for entry and exit and stake out the upwind door.
You can double stake the primary stake positions easily by using a short piece of cordage with loops on both ends. Run this cordage through the stakeline loop, then stake both loops. The stakeline will look like a "Y" if you do this correctly.
A Tautline Hitch tied on the ends of the vestibule guylines isn't necessary, but handy to add tension. The same goes for guylines on the sides. Read "Knots You Should Know" on our website to learn this and other useful knots.
Pitching the Nest
The nest attaches with linelocs and cordage at the head and foot.
The middle has toggle and loops at the top and keepers at the bottom that can be connected to the bottom of the poles.
To pitch the nest and canopy as one, leave the head and foot and top of the middle connected, but with some slack in the lines. Pitch the canopy first, then tension the nest and tie out the middle.
The nest can be pitched without the canopy. Stake the head and foot and middle bottom, then use cordage and extra stakes to pull the top middle up with your trekking poles.
- Shelter canopy
- Cordage (Doors, Primary Stakeouts)
- Stakes
- Stuff Sack
- Does not come with poles. This shelter is intended to pitch with two 130 to 140 cm trekking poles.
FAQ:Q. What are the differences in the Eolus and Silex?
A. The Eolus is better for sleeping two people. The Eolus has more built in ventilation and can handle condensation slightly better (though the Silex does outstanding when pitched with taller 140 cm poles). The Silex door opens taller due to its' geometry. The Silex pitches tighter to the ground.Q. Why don't you offer the Silex Ultralight with a stove jack?
A. The steep door angle can place the pipe close to the fabric at the top of the door. The lower melting temp of dyneema we feel can create a problem here where silnylon won't have an issue.

I'll probably have to do Venice in parts cause hot damn it was unlike anything before it. But first, getting there. There was a little mishap and the group got off one stop too early, meaning we had to take a trolly train the rest of the way. But as it turns out, we all got passes for the water buses! Which was really cool cause We could go anywhere in Venice anytime. It also made it hard to get lost.
It was a blur after that. Good food, good wine, good art! I think the islands were my favorite, they had some awesome loot. Got a glass balloon and little baby glass sheep!
And then there was the Beinale. It was HUGE! I mean it took me 2 whole days to get through it and I had to whiz my way.

John is extremely knowledgeable about the surrounding area and was very smart in his approach to selling my home. He was spot-on in his pricing and made great suggestions at every turn. John provided excellent advice throughout the process and didn't hesitate to address any and every concern I had. The biggest compliment I can offer though, is the fact that John is a very sincere and caring individual, which comes through in his professional interactions. At no moment did I feel as though ! was being sold! I would highly recommend John Williams to anyone. "

Special Issue - Call for Papers: Pirates and Piracy in History, Literature
and Theory
darkmatter Journal - http://www.darkmatter101.org/
Once consigned to the romance of film and literature, the figure of the pirate has a renewed cultural presence. From solicitous debates around intellectual property to the recent maritime hijackings off the Horn of Africa, piracy looms large in the twenty-first century.
This special issue of darkmatter seeks to engage critically with the politics of piracy. As in the 17th and 18th centuries, piracy today is an activity that often takes place at the so-called periphery of metropolitan capitalism. Piracy challenges the primitive accumulation and wage labour discipline of capitalism at large, while recapitulating and amplifying its violence.
This special issue is interested in work that explores how and why modern piracy emerges against the backdrop of neo/colonial relations of production.
Possible topics might include:
* Piracy as the expression/outside of global capitalism
* Piracy and inter/transnational law, property rights and human rights
* Piracy and the War on Terror
* Media piracy and the geopolitics of the culture industry
* The pirate as a celebrated and reviled figure of rebellion and neo/colonial resistance
* Outlaws, pirates and poachers in media studies, cultural studies and philosophy
* Freebooters, pirates and buccaneers, and their place in capitalist and neo/colonial relations of production
* The cultural politics of race, digital reproduction and p2p file-sharing technologies
* Racialized representations and performativity of the pirate and piracy in film, animation, art and literature
* The pirate as a figure of trangressive dis/ability
Articles between 1,500 - 8,000 words are welcome, as are alternative format submissions such as commentaries, reviews, audio, visual and digital contributions. Please submit an 300 - 500 word abstract if you are interested.
For darkmatter's editorial policy and online submission information:
For inquiries about the 'Pirates and Piracy' special issue,

Call for papers: Asian Pop Culture
The edited volume looks for contributors who can write on different aspects of Asian Popular Culture. For those who are interested, please contact Anthony Fung at firstname.lastname@example.com or email him an abstract by March 20, 2009
Asian Popular Culture: The Global Cultural (Dis)connection
edited by Anthony Fung
published by Routledge
Summary of the volume
This edited volume is a medium level textbook as well as a reference of Asian popular culture. Each chapter will be an in-depth concrete study of a particular phenomenon or process of popular culture in a city/ an area/ a country in Asia and all the chapters are connected by the common theme "The Global Cultural (Dis)connection." To serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate in classes (e.g. international communication, globalization and communication, popular culture, Asian media, etc), authors in the book provide thick description of the background and context of the places where the cultural phenomenon is popular, and illustrate the concepts with examples, case study and empirical studies. In other words, different from elementary textbooks which explicate popular culture using point-by-point or concept-by-concept format, this book grounds all the analysis in real historical and cultural contexts with a comparative perspective.
Also as a reference book, the entire volume sheds light on the theme of globalization of Asian popular culture. Among those popular cultures in the region, there are of course cultural icons, symbols, and images that are unique to Asia. However, the origin and the mechanism of how these cultures are disseminated and reproduced in Asia is not entirely local: similar to popular culture in other parts of the world, the flows, import and export of cultural products and commodities in Asia are equally calculated, manipulated and driven commercially by transnational, regional and local media corporations and politically by the government or semi-official bodies which control the media.
The reception and consumption of such Asian "foreign" culture by local audiences can also be systematically categorized as patterns of reception, decoding and interpretations, which then have significant implication for other globalizing cultures in Asia. With this set of phenomena as its core emphasis, the book addresses two seemingly contradictory and yet parallel process in the circulation of Asian pop culture: the interconnectedness between the Asian popular culture and western culture in an era of cultural globalization, and the local derivatives and versions of global culture that are necessarily disconnected from their origins in order to cater for the local market.
The book thereby presents a collective argument that, whilst local social formations, and patterns of consumption and participation in Asia are still very much dependent on global culture developments and the phenomena of modernity (a discourse of cultural connection), yet such dependence is often concretized, reshaped and distorted by the local media to cater for the local market. This is a practical and business concern which tends to result in cultural disconnection between product and consumer.
The essays in this volume document variations to and cases of such cultural connection as well as of disjuncture in global culture in Asian settings. These cases could be good cases of reference. These cases all provoke students to engage in academic discussion of globalization/Asian media. Familiar cases range from pop music (e.g. hip hop), fashion magazines (e.g. Esquire and Cosmopolitan), Hollywood movies and television formats (e.g. reality TV such as Pop Idol), to cultural brands such as Disneyland and mediated icons like. Harry Potter.
Different contributors approach the problematic of cultural connection/ disconnection on different levels and through different disciplinary approaches, from political-economic analysis to cultural analysis and studies of audience and consumption. On the production level, the decentered locale enables local fashion, music and theme park managers to take a post-Fordist and neo-institutionalist logic to select, modify and distort the global culture for the local audience. While global cultural artifacts, icons, images and brands have a strong appeal to the
local Asian consumers who aspire to "catch up" with global trends and modernity, on the consumption side, their down-to-earth consumption and reception often in practice requires a local adaptation and distortion of the global ideas. This then is the cultural disconnection to which local distributors and producers aspire. The tensions, ambivalence and conflicts between the global and the local are best revealed in the concrete analysis of cultural production and consumption.

Posted by News Express | 1 January 1970 | 2,073 times
Skepticism has finally given way to trust and confidence as proprietors move to obey the directive of the Lagos State Government that private schools operators should register their institutions irrespective of their accreditation status.
The registration records of the State Ministry of Education Information Management System charged with the responsibility in six education districts revealed that 6083 schools have registered. A breakdown shows that districts 1&11 recorded 1587 and 1089, districts 111&1V have 676 and 1070, while districts V&VI have 1038 and 623 registered schools respectively.
Commenting on the development during a tour of the districts to monitor the level of compliance with the exercise, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Mr. Adesina Odeyemi, who was obviously not satisfied with the compliance level, lamented the usual attitude of our people to wait till the last minute before making efforts to comply with directives.
Explaining the motive of the State Government for issuing the directive, Mr. Odeyemi noted that the exercise was strictly meant to gather data that will avail the government opportunity to know all the education service providers in the State, visit them, monitor their activities to ensure compliance with quality assurance regulation of schools below tertiary level and take steps to improve learning outcomes.
He implored proprietors who were yet to take advantage of the opportunity availed by government to do so and reassured that the government was not interested in closing down schools but out to help them grow.
Odeyemi however warned that those who fail to register are inadvertently saying that their schools have not attained the specified standard for operation; as such government may not have an option but to come down hard on those who refuse to comply with the directive.
Fielding questions from media men after the exercise, the Permanent Secretary expressed optimism that many proprietors would still comply with the directive before expiration of the exercise.
Responding to questions on the likelihood of extending the deadline as requested by many proprietors in order to enable their colleagues, who are away presently, participate in the exercise, he said he could not foreclose it, rather would report his findings to the authorities who will give further directives.

Balanceology's centric idea is balance —> a balance-centered life of living-in-balance is fundamental. The centric axiom and Big Idea for this theoretical proposition is Balance is Everything! The centric idea and Big Idea are embedded and detailed in Balanceology's four pivotal pillars:
Motivation —-> Meaning —-> Measurement —-> Mitigation
1.) Motivation (M-1) –> humans have natural instinctual needs we are driven to satisfy.
2.) Meaning (M-1) –> humans have a profound need to find meaning and purpose in life.
3.) Measurement (M-3) —> evaluates symptoms and need attainment, thus ascertaining the level of balance and health in a person's life.
4.) Mitigation (M-4) —> therapeutic process aimed at satisfying needs and lowering symptoms in order to advance balance and enhance health.

IP 10.0.0.0.1 is a personal deal with, used by routers and other system gadgets of various manufacturers. As few IPv4 details stay, prevent 192.168.x.x is arranged type of network-related uses. In common, the wireless router of a system will always use the deal with 10.0.0.0.1 and then allocate the rest of the prevents to other laptop or computer systems.
For example, the next laptop or computer that joins to the system will have the IP 192.168.0.1, another will use the variety 192.168.1.3, and so on. Brands such as Linksys, D-link, TP-Link and Netgear use the 192.168.x.x variety to set up their devices.
The primary function of this IP deal with (and in particular all of type 192.168.xx) is that it is a non-routable deal with and therefore can not be community, however, some professionals says that all IP details can be routable. In brief, therefore varies of IP details that can not be 'published' straight on the Online, instead, they are taken to a NAT entrance or proxies and then going to the Online.
It is apparent to think that for little or home systems it is most suggested to use personal IP details because an ISP designates a very little variety of community details to each customer. Effectively said, and it may occur this way, each customer will have more than one system to link online, therefore need more IP details.
Depending on the type of of ISP, it will offer personal details to the customer through an NAT-type settings for the product (if any).
Almost all personal systems in the world use at least one of these varies of IP details proven above. The category definitely indicates the variety of useful details in that variety. Class A details have more than 16 thousand useful details and are appropriate very huge companies with many connected systems and subnets.
In comparison, Class C works with more than 65,000 IP details, enough for little systems, which is why most professional routers come preconfigured with this variety.
The manufacturer establishing for most routers is Class C variety, which is 10.0.0.0.1.Of course, this settings is very adjustable to any type of IP varies. Other samples of standard IP details are 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2. For example you can use 192.168.1.1 administration sign in web page to get to wireless router administration interface.

Via Shane, this interesting post at SWJ by the founder/president of the True Speak Institute, Jim Guirard.
"Since 2002, Mr. Guirard has served as founder and President of the new TrueSpeak Institute, whose primary focus is truth-in-language and truth-in-history in public discourse. He currently writes and lectures extensively on the vital "war of words" and "war of ideas" aspects of the broader Global War on al Qaeda-style Terrorism." (TrueSpeak Institute; emphasis my own)
I haven't yet read much of Guirard beyond the SWJ post (which is as much a clarification of what would appear to be either misguided or slanderous analysis) but what I have read I liked. Beyond the 5GW elements (which I'll leave to Shane) the entire premise makes absolute sense to me:
"Contrary to current DoD, State and White House Doctrine, they seem to be arguing that the Real Enemy are not the Terrorists but Islam itself -- which is exactly the "war of religions" and the "America's War Against Islam" message that bin Laden is trying to sell in the Muslim World, as well. In the all-important "War of Ideas" and "War for Hearts, Minds and Souls," that does not sound to me like a very bright idea at all.
Some of these well-intentioned people – who are probably as anti-AQ as I am – cannot see the destructive illogic and even the "cognitive dissonance" of insistently defining bin Ladenism by exactly the same holy, godly and Paradise-bound labels by which UBL himself defines it – as does the Salafi-Wahhabi-Muslim Brotherhood conspiracy throughout."
As the above describes, the essence of Guirard's message is that by defining bin laden and al Qaeda's operatives as Jihadis or the more popular, Jihadists, we effectively validate them. Instead he promotes changes in lexicon that both more accurately define and divide the ideology and actions of al Qaeda (and like elements) from "true" Islam. To wit:"Next, there is the matter of Mr. Coughlin's attacks on some of the quotations compiled in 2003-05 and cited in some of my writings. These are from a variety of Middle Eastern affairs experts and scholars of Islam in support of the "Hirabah" (unholy war, forbidden "war against society") by "mufsiduun" (evildoers, sinners, corrupters) destined for "Jahannam" (Eternal Hellfire) frame of reference -- which imagery, it seems to me, expresses a powerful and much needed disincentive to suicide mass murder."
The article goes on to list a rather lengthy list of sources that recognize and illustrate the divide between jihad and hirabah. This provides a sound foundation for Guirard's argument that rather than a defense of jihad (as his work seems to have been erroneously attributed to be) he's proposing an ideological lever through language that would serve to be a damaging tool in the Information Operations theater which remains, in my humble opinion, an abject failure.
Like it or not, how we define our adversary (and I've touched on this before regarding the term "Terrorist,") carries weight and effects both our own perception and the vision of the enemy. By turning from al Qaeda's jihad to al Qaeda's hirabah we both cease validating our enemy and finally take a worthy step into the realm of ideological warfare.

In 2016, Cambridge Rare Disease Network created a small dance group of 4 children, each with a different rare condition, to develop a dazzling performance for a local charity ball. And dazzle they did! The group represents the powerful bond that acceptance and friendship bring to these unique individuals who have their rarity in common and how teamwork, determination and creativity can create beautiful dancers.
Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we are here, we should dance....
Since Unique Feet's humble beginnings, they and their families have enjoyed lots of fun and activities together, from yoga and horse-riding to parties and trips to the seaside and they've warmly welcomed another 6 families into their team.
On 30 November 2018 all 10 children will be preparing to dazzle once again when they take to the stage at RAREfest18 , an exciting science, technology and arts festival hosted by CRDN . The group has a unique opportunity to work with an artist from multi award-winning British dance company Studio Wayne McGregor to create their dance performance.
understanding how your body communicates things without language is a powerful tool to be able to start to communicate better or differently....there's nothing more special than being able to be lost in dance (Wayne McGregor)
Can you help Unique Feet realise their dream to reach for the stars by contributing towards their project and help raise funds for this group and our other projects to blossom into the future?

The meadow flower euphrasia officinalis has great importance among the Weleda
medicinal plants. Popularly known as 'eyebright', it does, in fact, have a
healing effect on eye diseases. Euphrasia flourishes in unfertilized dry meadows
and pasture grass of central and southern Europe, right up into the high
mountain areas of the Alps as far as the snowline at 2,300 metres. This tiny
meadow plant – growing only ten to 30 centimetres high – thrives thanks to its
resilience and high adaptability.
Drawing energy by photosynthesis from sunlight, euphrasia also grows as a
semi-parasite in the roots of the surrounding grasses and straws. It takes water
and nutrients from other plants, using their life force for its own growth. This
property makes euphrasia very interesting in anthroposophic medicine, since in
treating eye disorders euphrasia weakens 'foreign life' on the conjunctiva by
withdrawing the life force of the invader.
Weleda processes more than one hundred kilograms of fresh euphrasia annually for medicinal tinctures. Euphrasia is wild gathered responsibly and sustainably in the wine-producing region of Rhineland-Palatinate in south-west Germany. When flowering time comes, collectors gather on two or three weekends in July and August. They gently hand-pick the plants from the ground in between the grasses, so that the fine roots do not break off. The collected harvest is delivered to the Weleda processing plant within 24 hours and processed immediately. At the processing plant the whole euphrasia plant – leaves, flowers and roots – is crushed, pressed and processed into a tincture. The tannins and bitter substances extracted in this way have an astringent effect and play a role in the fighting of inflammation, while slightly antibiotic glycoside aucubin also acts against inflammation.
A radiant, soft blossom, universally helpful with injuries and inflammation
Unique balancer of damp and drought
Eyebright (euphrasia officinalis) contains flavonoids, tannins and bitter
substances. Extracts of eyebright have an invigorating, skin-caring and
astringent effect on the skin. Eyebright extracts are often used in skin care
creams for the eye area.

In part one of this master series, documentary director Marina Zenovich gives an overview of the principles of interviewing and how to approach the process.
Key Insights
- Interviewing is an art, and it is at the core of documentary filmmaking.
- You need to be fully engaged when conducting an interview.
- Use personal forms of communication to secure an interview, such as calling or meeting in person; email and texting are not sufficient.
- Prepare and be rigorous in your research, but try to keep the interview spontaneous and conversational.
- Treat the interview like a date; hearing the responses for the first time will keep the interview alive.
- Listening is your greatest asset; when people feel like they're being heard, they're more likely to disclose information.
- Interviews should be personal. Make the environment as intimate and safe as possible.
- If someone seems nervous, reflect their emotions back to them. Empathy goes a long way.
Marina Zenovich is an Emmy award-winning filmmaker whose films have been praised for their powerful storytelling and their thoughtful, sensitive approach to difficult subjects and controversial people. more...
