Innovation is the life blood of any company in the New Digital Millennium and this also extends to the Car Industry. This has already been seen across of number of markets with new entrants into their respected fields with examples including – Retail (Amazon), TV (Netflix), Transport (Uber) and Music (Spotify). As consumers we have become reliant on this continued release of new Products and Services which we have now become to expect this on an ever shortening cycles – How often do you upgrade your phone?
Mini as a Global Car Manufacturer part of the BMW Group has a long, rich history and an icon of the British Car Industry. Initially created back in the late 1950's due to the oil shortage as the result of the Suez Canal crisis with the simple design criteria – Small, Affordable and Fun. Those characteristics still remain today to make it the Premium Car Brand which surpasses all class boundaries and admired by many.
The New Mini 1499 GT is a great example on how this global icon can innovate within its market to meet this ever demanding requirement for the new millennial consumer market. From concept to production has taken less than 12 months which is unique in this industry. This allows Mini to tailor its models to meet the ever changing consumer lifestyle we lead today.
First Impressions
Thinking back to when I started my own car journey which was over 25 years ago with an ownership of 14 vehicles. This has been a range of multiple brands, but I did not enter the premium car market until my 3rd vehicle. The reason for this was twofold – Price entry and Insurance made this prohibitive until my late 20's.
Mini's 1499 GT address these requirements with over 50 years of design and manufacturing experiences with the continued DNA that they have retained over those years – Small, Affordable and Fun. It has been developed and packaged to provide all those design features any boy racer within us would want from the John Cooper Works (JCW) body kit to the rare Sports seats within the range.
What underpins this fantastic looking model is the commercial package to allow the younger generation to be the proud owner with a set of keys in their hand. This includes 3 years servicing with 1st year's insurance all for the sum of £299 deposit plus £299 monthly payment over 47 months subject to T&C's. Or you can purchase the car out right for an on the road price from £16,990 as well.
Key ingredient to the commercial package is the inclusion of the 1st year's insurance. For young drivers it can be prohibitive with the ever increasing insurance premiums to own a car with this equivalent specification. The additional benefit of the commercial terms is the use of telematics based insurance solution. This allows young drivers to demonstrate and submit driving behavior via either a "black box" or driving app. In return based on their safe driving they can receive discounted insurance premiums for subsequent years.
Innovation can come in many forms, but this affordable approach by Mini has been insightful and opened the door for the next generation of loyal followers.
Based on the 1969 classic 1275 GT edition the 1499 GT comes with the distinctive JCW Sports pack with styling features and unique graphics. This includes the sporty bumpers, spoiler, side skirts, tinted windows, door entry plates, white lens indicators and sat on 17" Track Spoke alloy wheels in black. There is a choice of two colors – Pepper White and Midnight black with the distinctive 1499 GT stripe in White or Gold respectively.
Mini 1499 GT has been packaged with a number of features you will not find in other models and some that are limited to the top of the range vehicles. It provides a premium sporty look and feel which is under pinned by the crisp dynamics of this car. Features include John Cooper Works Sports seats in Dinamica and leather and JCW badges, a JCW steering wheel in perforated leather with Chilli Red stitching and multi-function controls, cruise control, a Visual Boost radio with MINI Connected smartphone compatibility, air conditioning and Piano Black interior trim, along with Carbon Black interior details and an Anthracite headlining. There is also a range of optional extra's to choose from as well, but for many this high specification will provide everything one would desire.
On The Road
The 1499 GT will not arrive to the show rooms until November this year and hence test drives will be available from then. From the specification it will have all the sporty feel we love of the Mini which continues to excite as a driver's car especially down those country B roads. Standard features include Independent rear suspension, six speed manual gear box (auto optional) with sports car inspired rev matching technology which is normally found in more expensive sports vehicles to assist those crisp gear changes.
Within its market segment Mini has created another model which can't be matched for its dynamic handling capabilities with this level of power. We expect even with the new 3 cylinder twin power turbo and 1499c engine producing a 102 hp to have all the fun driving characteristics which make it the icon brand of today.
Mini yet again has not disappointed and this new 3 door hatch back provides all the hall marks of another future classic with this limited special edition and innovative affordable commercial package. By providing the 1st year's insurance premium this will attract the next generation of followers to this British icon that we know and trust.
Mini 1499 GT goes on sale this month and will have a limited production run of 1,499 between November and February in 2018. Hence if you want to join this exclusive club you will need to visit one of the 140 Mini dealers in the UK quickly to avoid disappointment. Mine is only 15 miles away.

When your car hits a bump in the road, sometimes it feels like a tree has smashed into your vehicle. As your car's shock absorbers kick into action, energy radiates away from the car. What if there were a way to harness that energy back into the moving vehicle? Scientific American reports that two engineering students from MIT have invented a device that does just that.
Zack Anderson and Shakeel Avadhany of Massachusetts Institute of Technology came up with the idea to harness escaping energy after one particularly bumpy car ride in California. They decided to strap on a couple of sensors to some rental cars and take them on a pot hole-ridden drive. Now they are the inventers of GenShock, a shock absorber that reportedly retains all the energy created by a rocky ride. It doesn't save any notable amounts of gas for an individual driver, but the saved energy does add up when you consider the millions of vehicles on the road. As Scientific American reports, "In 2007, medium-sized and heavy trucks used 34 billion gallons of diesel fuel. According to ... analysis, trimming 1 percent of that fuel would have saved 3.4 million tons of CO2."
Working in their dorm room, Anderson and Avadhany thought about how a bumpy motion could move a small turbine, which would then connect to a generator that feeds the car's battery. Early versions of the experiment were messy. As Anderson told Scientific American, "In the bathroom, we had hydraulic fluid leaking down the drain. It looked like a nuclear fusion project. I mean, you had tubes going all over, it looked really ridiculous. But it was that first working prototype."
The two students soldiered on with their project. With the help of MIT professors, they were soon meeting with businesspeople who could help get their invention on the road. Anderson and Avadhany founded Levant Power, a company to market their new device. Ultimately, Anderson and Avadhany hope to use the device not only on new cars but to replace the shocks on old ones as well. The military is also interested for a more practical reason. As Scientific American reports, GenShock could prevent heat loss "vulnerability" to enemies who have infrared cameras on the field.

Our Verdict
Previously they have offered a $150 checking bonus. Previously this deal was split so you'd get $150 now and then $50 in a years time, now it's $100/$100 so that's slightly worse. Still annoying to keep the account fee free for a year plus to get the full bonus. There are much better bonuses out there, but this one is still pretty good if you're happy waiting a year to get the full bonus. If you do decide to sign up, please share your experiences in the comments below.

By: Rabbi Ari Enkin
It is customary for the rabbi to lead the congregation in the counting of the omer. The origins of this practice are quite interesting. It is explained that the one leading the counting of the omer is supposed to have in mind not to discharge the mitzva on behalf of the congregation in order that they be able to perform the mitzva themselves. As such, there was some concern that the one serving as the baal tefilla, which were often unlearned individuals, might be ignorant of this halacha and accidentally discharge the mitzva of counting the omer on behalf of everyone in the congregation. As such, it evolved that the rabbi be the one to lead the counting as he would no doubt be aware of this halacha and arrange his thoughts and intentions accordingly.[1]
Click here to read moreAnother reason that the rabbi leads the counting of the omer is because one who missed a day and did not count the omer is no longer permitted to recite the blessing when counting the omer on consecutive nights. As such, in order not to embarrass the one leading the services who may have missed a day in the sefira count and would be embarrassed if this information was made public, the rabbi is designated to lead the sefirat ha'omer service, as it is unlikely that he would have missed counting a day of the omer.[2]
Finally, as with many other mitzvot which are somewhat infrequent, it is customary to honor the rabbi with leading the congregation in the mitzva. Doing so is considered a way of bestowing honor upon the local rabbi. Indeed, if the honor of leading the sefirat ha'omer was to be delegated out on a nightly basis it could conceivably lead to power and popularity struggles amongst congregants competing for the honor.
Nevertheless, there are a number of congregations where the custom is that whoever leads the ma'ariv service is the one who is to count the omer. Only in the event that the one leading ma'ariv is unable to count with a blessing, does the rabbi then do so. It is interesting to note that there does exist a custom in a minority of communities for the congregation to count first and only then for the rabbi to count.[3]
No one should be embarrassed or feel inferior for having missed counting the omer and thereby disqualified from reciting the blessing. We're all only human.

Counting the Omer.....Why the Rabbi?

What is Domain Authority?
The effectiveness of domain to behave on SERP (Search Engine Result Pages) in future is called Domain Authority. Numbering from 1 to 100, the higher score corresponding to the higher ranking in search engine. Domain Authority is MOZ parameter of calculating website's worth Moz rank, linking root domains, Moz trust and number of total links. Here passage of time also plays a vital role to strengthen your website. It's a machine learning model that actively finds a positive correlation between ranking and Mozscape data based on different search results. As mentioned earlier Domain Authority is purely based on machine learning calculations, therefore, the ranking may fluctuate too and fro whenever Mozscape Web index is released.
Domain Authority Score:
Domain Authority score starts from 1 to 100, if the website has a higher score it would cause a higher influence if someone submits his/her backlink on that higher DA website. New websites easily get score up to 30, but it is slighter difficult for a website that is already ranked above 70 score due to competition.
What is a Good Website?
Usually, the website having strong inbound links and external links have high DA scores such as Wikipedia and Google. Wikipedia has strong internal linking, therefore, the web of internal linking gives this site high score as compared to other websites. Websites may have good or bad DA, poor profile linking and internal linking causes a big issue to score it the bad score.
Tools to check Domain Authority:
Different tools are used to check Domain Authority but smallseotools and Moz open site explorer are the best options because both of them are totally free and there is no restriction on multiple usages.
Moz also provides extension if you are using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome then download Mozbar extension for free. It would allow you to directly check Domain Authority of any website that you are searching now.
There are more than 30+ signals that collectively calculate Domain Authority of any website but we will discuss a few of these, let's talk about it in details.
What is MozRank?
An algorithm that quantifies link popularity and Google PR patterns followed by Moz's version. Higher linking also improve Moz ranking of that page. It's also known as raw link equity of that given web page online. Just like Google Page Rank, ranking of Moz is also similar to that starting from 0 to 10. It is quite easy to rank up till 4 but quite hard to improve from 8 to 9. Check MozRank here.
What is MozTrust?
Like MozRank, MozTrust works in same way but it only measure the degree of positive correlation between trusted websites. Linking to Govt. websites or University websites may enhance your MozTrust ranking because such websites are considered as trustworthy websites. Ranking procedure is same, so it is easy to rank from 3-4 but you have to link 8 times more if you want to rank it from 4-5, while it is quite hard to move beyond 8 due to stiff competition. Learn more about MozTrust in detail. Your spam score is always added in it, if you link on a spam page, it would definitely hurt your MozTrust ranking. We usually talk about domain age, higher domain age also creates a trust about the worthiness of that website, such websites have high MozTrust if they are not spammed.
Tricks to improve Domain Authority:
Domain Authority significantly improves search engine ranking, you write and your content would be crawled by Google bot in few minutes, that is occurring due to high Domain Authority. The higher Domain Authority you have, the higher ranking you will get. It also help you to rank your content with Zero backlinks. First of all you need to improve Domain Authority, for that you must create backlinks on High Domain Authority websites, it would sharply increase your Domain Authority. Followings are the factors by which you can improve Domain Authority.
- Expiry of Domain Name: We usually skip this option but as far as calculation is concerned, number of days to expire domain name also count, you ought to register it for more than one year so that it may slightly improve your Domain Authority, it also reflect a message that this particular domain will work for longer period, as you know time also counts so it will slowly improve your DA score.
- Backlinks from High Domain Authority websites: Linking back to your website would definitely improve your DA if you are using High domain authority websites, It is the shortest way to make your website Google friendly. Never join such websites that offer you to purchase high DA websites because most of them are spam. You ought to obey Google Penguin updates and avoid negative SEO.
- Role of Diversified Link profile: Get diversified profile links from different sources, openlinkprofiler or backlinkwatch are two prominent channels to search dofollow backlinks, enhance your link profile and make a best use of these quality websites, it will improve your DA.
- Deep Internal Linking: Powerful internal linking will definitely improve your ranking and makes your website Google friendly, if you look at wikipedia, it has strong deep linking, internal linking is so strong that website Alexa is almost 5 which means millions of users are reading wikipedia daily. Get this idea and apply on your website, it would definitely improve your website magically.
- Remove Bad Backlinks: Removing backlinks is an art,you have to be more alert while picking dofollow websites because you never know that website can be spammed, avoid such websites or use Google Disavow tool to remove such bad links.
- Your Content is Everything: Your content is everything, it's far better than writing quality content rather than low quality content because it will drag more traffic for you. If you are not an expert in writing then write more and more articles per day, quantity will matter a lot but will take more time to make a place in search engine.
- On page SEO: One of the most important factor that each webmaster should understand, how well your website is SEO friendly? on page SEO is the most critical issue, we usually see number of websites that are easy for search engine bots to crawl due to quality user-experience and content. Make sure that you have proper eye on Nonindex tags and categories with proper pagination. Submit sitemap file to search engines like Google. Usually webmasters skip meta title and meta description but you have to make a proper narration for both meta. Heading tags like H1,H2,H3,H4,H5,H6 are really important for writing a perfect article, you must write a perfect article with proper tags.
- Check Page Speed: Check page loading speed from Google developers for free. You can search Page load time through different ways. It counts a lot now a days, after so many bot updates, calculation of hosting response and page load time is really important to keep your articles on top of the search engines, Try to remove all bugs and make your website as fast as possible, usually above 90% page load time is perfect to crawl because it is user friendly and secondly it enhance your DA in search engine sharply.
- Domain/Hosting Response: We usually skip hosting response or domain response but it is the heart and soul to make your content Google friendly. Choose fastest hosting companies online with quick response.
- Use WordPress Plugin: If you are not familiar with wordpress plugins like Super Cache, Wp Rocket, W3 Total Cache, you can follow step by process to install these plugins on your website.
- Socialize your website: A big platform that offers you to buy cheap traffic of any country is provided by these social websites, Get more traffic from Social websites for free, it will cost you nothing but will add some traffic, most of the blogger are against this strategy because they believe that it's pair to pair likes, i know but when you have high numbers on likes, people reading your content would definitely click your like button, suppose if you have 500 likes only, reader would no doubt read your content but will never follow you as numbers are too low, i would recommend you to choose such channels for promotion purpose only.
- Focus on Pagination: Avoid long permalinks because these create disturbance for you to tack down your target pages, try to focus upon pagination, like i have created this page with only two words "Domain Authority", smart pages are liked by search engine.
Crux of the content:
In few words, i would recommend you to improve your Domain Authority because the better you score the more chances you can get to occupy search engine, as you know if you have the strength to occupy the first position on first page it would bring a lot of traffic for you. Google is now operating geographically so you have better chances to get traffic from different countries, never try to avoid this tip, try to write more and more and see the magic. Improve your Domain Authority and make your posts Google friendly, it would lead your website and traffic would automatically be improved.

Poundland sells things for, well, a pound and sometimes you can spend a ton of money on things that really are not worth even that paltry amount, even in this economic climate. The same cannot be said for this awesome deal as you can buy a selection of Thomas the Tank Engine DVDs for only £1 each and that is a fantastic deal.
The four DVDs that you will find on their site include Thomas the Tank Engine – Thomas in Trouble, Thomas the Tank Engine – Breakdown Train, Thomas the Tank Engine – Thomas and Bertie, and Thomas the Tank Engine – Edward's Exploits.
Each DVD has around six episodes on it so you are getting a lot of entertainment for this really low price. I think this would make a fantastic Christmas stocking filler for any kids this year and you can nab yours online or you can pop around to your nearest Poundland to grab yours instore.

UMKC student's unique past as music producer
Posted on: 6:05 pm, April 24, 2013, by Tess Koppelman
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A University of Missouri – Kansas City music conservatory student has something on his resume that most students don't — he was a producer for a hip hop group that is now in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.Kerwin Young just got back from Los Angeles. where he celebrated with his old friends, Public Enemy. Young was just 17 years old when he hooked up with the Bomb Squad, the production team behind Public Enemy. You might remember Public Enemy was known for it's hard hitting lyrics and controversial topics, and Young says it was thrilling to be apart of it."Having participated in the success of this group, it's a once in a lifetime thing," says Young.
Young celebrated with Chuck D, Flava Flav and the rest of the group in L.A. last week.
"A lot of people I haven't seen in a long time," he said, "great experience and the performances were phenomenal."
Young was part of the Bomb Squad, the production team behind Public Enemy and multiple solo albums, but that isn't Young's sound anymore. Nowadays, he's writing symphonies and concertos, and he says it's not that different from what he did for Public Enemy.
"I've been applying the same technique of instrumentation, stacking sounds, the same process," he said, "but instead of programming it I was able to transfer the process to live instruments. But I had to learn how to write for instruments and the ranges of instruments."
Young first came to UMKC in 2008 to study with musician Chen Yi, and he was only going to stay a couple months. But he stayed, graduated, and is now getting his masters degree. But his background with Public Enemy does come out in his new music.
"I like dissonance, Public Enemy's music is noisy and irritant, and i have a lot of that in my music," he said.
Young has also produced some music for movies and tv, Sister Act 2 and Street Fighter, but he hopes his degree will open new doors for him to score movies. He plans to graduate with his masters by 2015.

During the school week, children from low-income families in Denver receive free and reduced lunches at school. Often the lunch they receive at school on Friday is the last meal they eat until they arrive back at school on Monday. Teachers and Principals report that many students come to school on Monday mornings hungry, complaining of stomachaches, headaches and unable to focus and learn.
Food For Thought Denver strives to eliminate this problem by providing a PowerSack to each student to take home for the weekend.
Dessert Boxes a force for good
Each Dessert Box sold will directly contribute to the purchase of food for hungry kids in Denver.
One Dessert Box = One weekend's worth of food in a PowerSack.

I know I'm not alone in the food blogosphere when I look at old posts from what feels like a previous life, and cringe at every single photo and every second word I once put out there. I try to remind myself that nearly every food blogger who started in the days when it was totally acceptable to feature iPhone photos on websites and professional DSLR-captured photos were pretty much exclusive to print magazines and cookbooks, has been there. Still, telling myself this doesn't make me want to bury myself in a deep, dark hole any less when I revisit my blog after a ridiculously long hiatus (AKA a quarter life "WTF am I going to do with my life?!" crisis) and rediscover posts like this one.
Last week I discovered that this recipe hadn't been touched in over four years. If I could travel back in time, I'd smack the iPhone 4 out of my hand and beg myself not to use rainbow light beam filters. But I obviously can't do that, so I've re-photographed the salad and deleted approximately 2,000 flimsy words. Thankfully, the actual recipe is solid and I've been making it on a near-weekly basis for years, which is more than I can say for a few other questionable recipes that were posted before I realised that anyone was actually reading my ramblings on here.
CYA in 10 years when I've finished re-photographing the remaining 59 recipes…
Fragrant Roasted Pumpkin, Sweet Potato & Quinoa Salad
Serves 5-6
- ½ large Jap pumpkin, peeled and cut into 3cm chunks
- 1 medium sweet potato or ½ large, washed, peeled and cut into 3cm chunks (see FODMAP notes below)
- 2 cups tri-coloured quinoa, rinsed thoroughly*
- 4 cups water
- 3 large handfuls baby spinach
- 1 bunch fresh chives, chopped
- ½ cup fresh coriander leaves
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme (always fragrant but not essential)
- 10 slices pickled beetroot (see FODMAP notes below)
- ¼ cup flaked or slivered almonds
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 ½ tsp ground coriander
- 3 tsp garam masala
- ½ tsp sweet paprika
- ½ cup Danish or Persian Feta, crumbled
- Juice of ½ lemon
- EVOO or melted coconut oil
- Sea salt
- Preheat oven to 200*C and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Combine the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika and garam masala in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Place the almonds on the prepared tray and place in the oven for 2 minutes or until toasted and golden. Keep a close eye on them after the 1 minute mark – the suckers can go from raw to charcoal real quick. Remove from oven, place in a small bowl, and set aside. Reuse the paper if possible.
- Place pumpkin and sweet potato in a large mixing bowl and use your hands to coat the veg with ½ tbs oil (preferably coconut).
- Arrange the pumpkin and sweet potato on the lined baking tray and sprinkle with half the spice mix and sea salt. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until tender and golden. Cooking times will vary from oven to oven.
- While the veg is roasting, place the quinoa, water, thyme sprigs (if using), remaining spice mix and a generous sprinkle of sea salt in a saucepan. Bring to the boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to simmer, cover and leave for 15 minutes or until the quinoa has absorbed all the liquid. The quinoa is ready when its germ (the little white ring around the outer edge) is exposed. Remove from heat, remove thyme sprigs, fluff with a fork, and set aside.
- In a large salad bowl, toss the quinoa, baby spinach, chives, coriander, lemon juice, and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Top with the roasted veg, pickled beetroot, feta and roasted almonds. Finish with an extra drizzle of EVOO, a squeeze of lemon juice, coriander and a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
*Quinoa has a natural chemical called saponin, which can be bitter to taste when quinoa is not rinsed thoroughly prior to cooking.
FODMAP notes
- Sweet potato contains moderate amounts of mannitol, so large amounts can be troublesome for people with polyol sensitivities. Once divided into servings, this recipe calls for even less than the "safe" recommendation, so most people with IBS or fructose malabsorption should be fine. If you're unsure of your tolerance level, simply omit and use more pumpkin instead. I've personally always been able to tolerate large amounts of sweet potato.
- According to Monash University, up to ½ cup pickled beetroot is considered safe for those with Fructose malabsorption and IBS, however I still like to moderate it because it can be quite high in sugar and therefore not great for you or your gut microbes in large amounts 🙂

1. Main findings (more detail below, under 4):
- End to fixed telephony retail price regulation for consumers. KPN can step up its competitive efforts against cable.
- Services-based competiotion on FTTC (WBA, since SDF access is not viable) and infrastructure-based competition on FTTH (ODF access). It looks like we will have a regulatory patchwork in geographical terms. MDF locations serving no less than 50% of the population will remain open. (I'm not sure if the 50% is new to the market.)
- Service-based competition on cable networks, but no access for KPN. I doubt if this will catch on among cash-strapped altnets or new entrants.
- Fixed termination will move to symmetry next year. Will KPN's charges go up or altnets' charges go down? Probably the latter, in which case the long-term benchmark for mobile termination goes down as well.
2. Telco/cableco convergence
Telcos and cablecos are converging in the sense that their product portfolios are starting to look like mirror images. Independent ISPs are struggling and selling out, so now incumbent telcos are increasingly taking aim at cablecos.
Let's first see how cablecos and telcos are moving toward each other:
- Both offering triple play, even though IPTV remains a complex product. On the other hand, cable lacks a mobile offering (other than cheap resale) of its own.
- Cablecos (and satcos) moving into the LLU market. Sky of course, now even looking at FTTC. Numericable is a wholesale LLU customer of Completel. Versatel is looking at AKF (but the Zon/Sonaecom merger is not going to happen).
- Several cablecos are considering FTTH (Cox, Wow, Videotron, Compton).
- CableLabs, the US cable association, is trying to turn Tru2way (middleware) into an interactive TV platform for both cable and telco networks.
Next, let's see what telcos are doing to kill the cable guy:
- In the US, AT&T, Verizon and Qwest have set up Movearoo.com. Customers moving to an area served by a different Bell are helped to remain telco customers, instead of defecting to cable.
- In the Netherlands, KPN hasn't exactly made much of secret of how much its Digitenne (DTT) product earns them: zip, or rather a negative sum (see it as a SAC). Digitenne has just one mission: pull away as many cable customers as possible.
- Thanks to OPTA, KPN can now follow competitors into targeted price reductions for fixed telephony. We can expect a price war that will erode KPN's margins further, but it will serve their priority #1: expand market share.
Here are some more details.
- Fixed telephony consumer market: end to retail regulation (both minimum and maximum tariffs). OPTA says competition is sound, due to CPS, WLR (which will be extended to the business market) and cable telephony. However, after 2011 it expects it will be able to abolish regulation of the wholesale services (CPS and WLR) as well.
- Business markets: increased wholesale regulation to stimulate competition, after which the retail market may be deregulated.
- NGN, NGAN: KPN is moving away from MDF access to both SDF access (for FTTC networks) and ODF access (for FTTH networks) as regulated wholesale products. OPTA has decided not to demand WBA (wholesale broadband access) wherever ODF access is available, since it wants to stimulate infrastructure-based competition as much as possible. At the same time OPTA acknowledges that SDF access is not a viable platform for competition, and therefore it will demand WBA offerings in FTTC markets. In both cases, KPN will be granted a decent return, based on the EDC system (embedded direct cost), which by the way is contested by competitors. Fortunately, OPTA appears to be aware of the necessity of a long-term view (longer than the traditional 3-year regulatory review period) and regulatory certainty for FTTH investors.
- Broadcasting: UPC and Ziggo will have to open their networks to services-based competition, because Digitenne, IPTV and Sat-TV haven't been able to really change the cable market (in terms of market shares or prices). Third parties will be able to take over the customer relationship (but they will have to take care of the related broadcasting rights for analogue TV themselves). This is aimed at third-parties; should KPN be granted a license to resell cable TV, then it could be incentivised to delay investments in IPTV and All-IP. In other words, KPN will not be a cable reseller (just as cablocos are not allowed to be KPN resellers).
- All-IP: KPN is planning the closure of many MDF locations. There is an MoU with the biggest unbundlers (Tele2/Versatel, T-Mobile/Orange, BBned/TI). MDF locations covering 50% of the population will remain open for existing LLU offerings. No detailed migration deals have been signed however for the other locations. Therefore, LLU and WBA regualtion will remain in place.
- Fixed termination: OPTA will end the asymmetry (KPN charges are lower than competitors') at the start of 2009.

Surprisingly, an analyst predicted that Apple would launch the iPhone 5s with 128GB of storage. Really? Quoted from gsmarena.com,
KGI analysis of Ming-Chi Kuo estimates that Apple will sell the iPhone 5s with up to 128 GB of storage capacity. If the estimate is correct, then the iPhone 5s will be the second Apple product after the iPad 4 that features a large storage capacity.
128 GB model of iPhone 5s are likely to be rewarded 499 dollars, under Apple's current pricing scheme.
Ming-Chi Kuo also expect the next iPhone will also be supported by the new A7 chip that has a 1 GB RAM LPDDR3. This new chip is said to be developed on ARMv8 and 20 percent more efficient than the previous A6 SoC.
The analysis also estimates the camera iPhone 5s will have "upgraded" with apperture F/2.0 and dual-LED flash. That means the camera on the device that has better performance in low light than the previous model. Ming-Chi Kuo also hope Apple will launch the iPhone 5s for the gold color in addition to classic colors, black and white.

Most every American can agree that the Fourth of the July is one of the best holidays of the year. Usually, the air is warm, the sun is out, and cool drinks are flowing. But in between barbecues and trips to the beach, the true meaning of the fourth of July sometimes gets forgotten. We must remember what Independence Day means for us Americans. It is a day to reflect on what it truly means to be free; to remember those who have fallen and those who continue to fight for our freedom and one of the most important symbols of our freedom is the firework.
When looking up at the beautiful night sky mesmerized by fireworks, many thoughts might come into your head including, "Freedom, Independence, Beauty…"
For myself, I am a little bit more scientific in thought (or as I would like to think I am)!
I want to know how this All-American symbol is constructed. So when you either stand, sit, or lay down in the grass in awe of the beautiful night sky exploding with color, you will be able to answer this exact question… How are fireworks made?!
To start off, experts believe that fireworks originated in China over 1,000 years ago. Still today, China is the largest manufacturer of the brilliant invention. There are three types of fireworks; Fire-crackers, Sparklers, and Aerial Fireworks.
Firecrackers are simple rolled up paper tubes filled with black powder and a fuse. When you light the fuse of a firecracker, the fire burns along that fuse until it reaches the powder. BOOM. Explosion.
Pretty simple, right?
Next, sparklers are different in that they make bright, sparkly light. They contain more substances than a short explosion or firecracker. The bright sparks consist of burning bits of dust made of metals such as aluminum, iron, steel, zinc, or magnesium. Kids, remember, these are not edible….
Aerial fireworks, in my opinion, are the best. Usually, these are made up of four parts inside a shell. The container, the fuse, the powder, and the stars. The shells are then launched into the sky from short pipes filled with a lifting charge of black powder. The lifting then lights the shell's fuse and when the flame hits the shell. The explosion pushes the stars in all directions, creating the spectacular display.
The colors are produced by carefully mixing the right kinds of chemical compounds. For example, blue is made up of copper compounds. And that's your science lesson for today, folks.
Sharn Enterprises, Inc. will be closed on July 3rd in observance of Independence Day. We look forward to observing this holiday by being with our family and friends and taking the time think about America and all of the great values it represents.
"A Proud American Manufacturer"

Chris Brown: Hitting Rihanna Is My 'Greatest Regret' — Interview
Chris is speaking out about hitting Rihanna in 2009, the mistake that lead to his arrest and wide public outrage. He calls the assault the 'biggest mistake' of his life — keep reading to see what else he said.
Rihanna seems like she's moved on from the attack, as she just spend her 25th birthday on a romantic Hawaiian vacation with Chris Brown, 23, but the public hasn't fully forgiven him yet. In an interview with The Mirror, Chris admits "that night was the deepest regret of my life, the biggest mistake."
Chris Brown Talks About His Attack On Rihanna
On Feb. 24, Chris told The Mirror, "That night was the deepest regret of my life, the biggest mistake."
"Sometimes you row, you fight, with the one you love and things get said, stuff spirals."
After the attack, it took months of "serious making up," Chris admitted.
Echoeing their hit song together, "Nobodies Business," Chris said: "People attack me and criticize me, it happens all the time. But they don't know me, and they don't know us. It doesn't bother me any more. Other people can judge us but they don't know anything."
Chris Brown Parties Without Rihanna After The Oscars
Chris was at Elton John's AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party on Feb. 24 with RiRi nowhere in sight. But sources tell HollywoodLife.com, there's no trouble — she just wanted a night off.
"She's with her girls enjoying her birthday. For her, the party ain't ending and why should it," a friend of Rihanna's told us EXCLUSIVELY.
Rihanna's birthday was on Feb. 20, and she spent it with Chris on vacation.
"She and Chris are good but she wanted to sit last night out and do her own sh** so that's what the f**k she did."
Do you think Chris is truly sorry for what he did, HollywoodLifers?

Earlier this summer, I invited my friend Tim and his girlfriend Sarah to join me at the Dispatch concert at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. This is the story of good concert karma.
I had purchased 4 tickets for the concert in January. As the new year of 2011 began, I believed it was important to plan for at least one great concert during the year. When I made the purchase I had no idea who would be joining me at the show in June; I only knew that I was committed to going. I had seen Dispatch 10 years ago, during my freshman year of college when they played a small show at The Fillmore in San Francisco. The tour in 2001 was the last one that Dispatch would perform for 10 years.
June rolled around, and somehow, with just one day remaining before the show, I found myself in the interesting position of holding 3 unclaimed tickets. With one day remaining, I called my friend Tim to offer him the tickets. What's interesting about my phone call to Tim was that Tim and I had not seen one another for almost over a year. We had been good friends during a period of time when we had worked together on a project, but we had lost contact. The Dispatch show was a perfect opportunity to reconnect. In retrospect, I wish I had thought to call Tim sooner to invite him to the show. I have always enjoyed hanging out with Tim. You can check out his weekly podcast, the BlankShowCast, on iTunes (yes, that was a shameless plug for my friend's show.)
Tim called me back the morning of the show and confirmed that he and Sarah would meet me at The Greek that evening. It was an incredible show, and the encore performance was epic!
Now for the karmic scenario:
In August, I discovered Songkick, a cool new app for my iPhone. Songkick scans your iPhone's playlist and notifies you when one of the artists in your playlists in scheduled to be on tour in your area. One of the app's features allows you to indicate whether you plan to attend the shows of your favorite artists by checking a box ("I'm going" or "I might go.") As I was playing with the app for my first time, I checked "I might go" to the Barenaked Ladies' September 19th concert at the Mountain Winery. I checked the box although I took no action to make this a reality or even really gave it a second thought.
On the morning of September 19th, I was playing around with the Songkick app and I came across the box I had checked "I might be going" to the Barenaked Ladies concert. Well, clearly this was not going to happen since it was the day of the event and I had made no effort for the last month and a half to purchase tickets so I unchecked the box.
Later that evening — two and a half hours before the Barenaked Ladies were scheduled to take the stage at Mountain Winery — I received a text from my friend Steve; he was offering me 2 tickets for the show that he could not use. He left them pinned to his door for me to pickup.
What makes this event even more interesting is that I have never attended a concert at Mountain Winery and just the week before I had been talking with a friend who had recently taken his wife to see a show there and he was telling me about what a great venue it is. The outdoor stage is located at a winery up in the hills of Saratoga. It's a small venue (seats only a couple of hundred people) and there is not a bad seat in the house. The intimate setting and the scenic winery landscape make it an ideal place to see a show. I have included some pictures that I took that evening at the end of this post.
Given the facts — I had given my friend Tim and Sarah tickets to the Dispatch show earlier in the year; I had checked the box "I might go" to the Barenaked Ladies concert in the Songkick app; and I had recently had a conversation with a friend about what a great venue the Mountain Winery is and that I should attend a show there — do you think the circumstance of me being offered free tickets to the Barenaked Ladies concert at the Mountain Winery, on the day of the event, was a mere coincidence, or did the universe conspire to provide me with some good concert karma?
Question for the readers:
Since my friend Steve was kind enough to offer me the tickets free of charge, what do you think would be an appropriate thank you gift to show my appreciation for his thinking to offer me the tickets?
Please leave me a comment with your thoughts. I look forward to hearing from you.

Orb weaver spiders are well represented in Gorongosa. Some have stunning shapes and colors, and none more so than the Kite spider (Gasteracantha). The large spines on its body are a defense against birds who like to feed on spiders, and also help them blend among branches where it spins its orb. Like all spiders, this species is a predator, feeding mostly on small insects that fall into its sticky web. And, like nearly all spiders, it is completely harmless to humans. The legs of Kite spiders are adapted for hanging from the silk web – if placed on a hard surface they are almost incapable of normal walking.
Another commonly seen orb weaver is the Golden orb weaver (Nephila senegalensis). These large spiders produce exceptionally strong silk that may even catch small birds. Males are tiny, many times smaller than the female, and live a parasitic life, stealing prey from the web of the female.

How would you quilt this & where am I?
How would you quilt this? I am thinking concentric circles centered over the pinwheels?
As always I have a story.... (First thanks to all who gracioulsy swapped batik nickels with me, without you this would have been paifully more expensive!) This pattern is in Nickel Quilts by Pat Speth. Her version has a checkerboard background & she mixed regular cottons with the batiks. Mine is all batik and all of those dark background batiks are different. To make the light (repeated a few times - not a lot off light batiks were available in my stash or at the store when I was piecing this) pinwheels pop, I had to sort my charms into dark, medium dark, medium light and light. I then paired dark with medium light and medium dark with light. I am happy with the results. Now for a funny story. You might not be able to tell by the quilts I have shared, but most of my quilts either have cats or Judaic themes. (You have seen at least 1 of each already.) So when I had this top pieced I whipped it ot for my girlfriend who noticed my trend and stated it... Stating. "Here is a quilt with out cats or Judaica." - in my mind it is a batik quilt. Lo and behold - those are cats in the border & there are a few cats in the pieced parts too.... :o) BTW This big picture came off my throwaway camera - I had a Photo CD made when I got it developed.
Thanks to the customers at Capital Quilts in Gaithersburg, Maryland who held up my quilt so I could get a photo. The shop had a batik celebration & I got a free fat 1/8 for sharing my quilt. I also go more batik fabric - they had a nice sale that day. I got the back, border & binding for my wedding signature quilt. Those blocks are done - just waiting for the big day for the signatures to be added! I used a pattern that was published in "Fons & Porters Love of Quilting" magazine this past summer.
Now for the where am I portion of this blog.... I am going to be in training for two weeks. My computer time will be limited to say the least. But I will have some access - just not enough for a photo enhanced blog post. (Well may be on the weekend...) I'll still check my e-mail regularly.

I like the idea of quilting circles, either concentric circles or spirals. And YAY on getting the photo larger!
As far as getting your photo on the sidebar, click on "view profile", then "edit profile". About halfway down the page you'll see a line that says "photo URL", fill in the address of the picture there and then "save changes" and the photo should appear in your sidebar.

This is great quilt! I love batiks and have been getting a group of 12 fqs a month for over a year now. I just stopped the shipments cause I REALLY need to use up some stash before I buy anthing else. I plan to use some of them for a batik Lucky Stars. But I'll have lots left when I finish that. Just might have to try one of these.

Such a wonderful quilt. I have a big soft spot for batiks. The colors are so wonderful.
Congratulations on your quilt and I hope you enjoy your training. Hurry home.

Somehow, I missed this whole thing. I look at ads like this and I honestly don't even know what this shit is used for or how it's applied. Under what circumstances would one use these items and where in the process do they belong?
I don't know how I missed it. I mean, I grew up in the 80s. I remember sitting at my mom's vanity playing in her eyeshadow: jewel-toned greens and blues, and purple. I remember using her eye liner, lipstick and mascara. But somewhere along the way, I just lost interest and therefore the know-how.
I am not saying wearing makeup is bad, in fact I am envious of those who know how to pull it off. I wish I knew…I wish I could. I have had my makeup done professionally twice and each time, people's response is "Wow, you look amazing! What did you do?" With my head down, I confess to wearing makeup. It reaffirms the feeling that I should do it more often. But I don't know how.
And, before you offer to teach me or tell me about some great little place where I can go and learn, I should caution you not to mistake this post for me saying I actually have interest. I don't. I am only saying sometimes I WISH I did…but I don't.
And don't give me that crap about 'oh, you are naturally beautiful.' Nope, that's not it. I am just not good at girl stuff.
P.S. I don't like shopping, or even brunch. Told ya' I suck at this.

Dear friends and followers,
The decision to strike out and own my URL had been brewing for a while. Buoyed by your encouragement and support, I took the plunge the sought to own the domain name for Ginger and Chilli. Unfortunately someone else had the same idea for the spicy name and I had to come up with Plan B.
Plan B:
Step 1. Find a name that represents my style and recipes.
Step 2. Check if the URL is available. Buy URL.
Step 3. Begin migration to Ginger and Cilantro.
You have been my motivating force and source of encouragement. I am very excited about the new website, and I look forward to your continued support and feedback. Please visit and follow me at:
Ginger and Cilantro!
