First Strike T15 Magazine Fed Paintball Gun
What is going on guys, it's Tony from Lone Wolf paintball. And today I am bringing you a quick Unboxing and overview of the First Strike T15.
T15!
T15 is in the building. First off guys, you guys know where to go lonewolfpaintball.com. We do carry some of the best products in the game. So this isn't stuff we do often but a lot of you guys have asked for it. Scenario players, first strike guys, mag fed players, stuff like that. We have the T15 in the building today, and we're going to do a little, you know, shooting with it, talk about it, just so you guys can see what it's all about. So let's first start off. This is based on a true one-to-one AR rifle platform the weight, everything involved with this first strike T15 is exactly just like an AR platform rifle. So obviously you've got your Picatinny rails all the way around, including top, bottom, side ,inside. I mean, if you get a closeup of the front end of the barrel mark, I mean everything looks almost identical to a true AR rifle. So next thing, Mark, do you want to continue to talk about exterior features or unbox it? What are you thinking?
No, let's look at the gun for a minute. Let's see some of the sexiness and,
So we'll just get this right off the bat here. This actually the charge plate will flip down and then this can do a hopper fed as well. So I don't think the adapter comes in the box. It might be something you have to get in the future, but apparently first strike says this can do hopper fed. And it also speaking of that, it does have the real action charging handle here in the back. Two fingers to cork and charges the gun as well. So I like that. I think this thing, like I said, weight-wise everything like a real AR is pretty much spot on. They try to keep it as realistic as possible. Also, integrating the tank that does come with a gun. We'll talk about price and then we'll show the tank does come with a gun for 520 bucks. I think it's 519.99. And it integrates the 13 cubic inch 3000 PSI tank within the stock, to give you the most realistic field possible. So basically , you're not running a remote line down here. You're not screwing a tank onto the bottom of the grip frame. Everything on this is meant to be pretty much like real action per se. Yeah. The tank easily does screw off. It goes obviously locks into the stock with different positions for the shoulder. So you got, I think I want to say five or six different positions back here with a stock Mark. So depending on if you have shorter arms or longer arms press the lever down and you can extend this thing to what fits your needs the best. So next up, is going to be probably getting into the box guys. So let's kind of set that down and flip this bad boy right on open.
What is in the box? So we've already pre assembled. It does come with two magazines, I believe these are 19 first strike rounds or 20 round ball magazines. So it comes to two magazines. I have these preloaded, this one full of first strike rounds. And then this one is going to be full of round ball or your standard 68 caliber paintball. We'll pull that out. Let's see , a little bit of warranty cards, a little bit of information there, cardboard box, and then you get into your front and rear sights which you obviously you place wherever you'd like to. And they do flip up and they do flip down, front and rear sights. And then it's coming with the real stuff here. Obviously the protective barrel cover for upfront, more cards probably warranty info there, tools to take apart the gun if you need to. Which speaking of that, remind me Mark. Remind me about taking the gun apart with you.
And then yeah, obviously the complete manual on what to do, troubleshooting stuff like that. Assembly , disassembly. And then what do you think this is for a Mark? Any idea?
Oh, I think I know, but I don't want to spoil it.
Okay. All right. He's not going to spoil it. You guys might have to find out. So you're supposed to run me of the assembling Mark or disassembling per se.
Do you know what the wrench was for?
I can't tell you.
Oh , I believe the wrench was to remove the front barrel with the shroud.
Oh, could be. We'll have to check into that. So back to the actual disassembly of the marker, it's got the two pins here, one pin there, one pin there, these are push pins that go out and you can drop the actual frame of the gun down, If you need to get in there clean, do any maintenance and stuff like that. So these pins push from each side you can push it from here, push it from there. And then both of those pins drop in the lower receiver will come out of the gun. So, all right, Mark. What do you want to do now?
I want to shoot this thing.
All right. Do you want to do first strike rounds first or the round ball?
Oh, so much pressure. I will let you grab whatever one's available.
Hmm, they're both available. They're sitting right there.
All right. So surprise me.
Let's go round ball first and then we're gonna shoot the first strike. We're going to shoot round ball first. It does guys have a selector switch over here. Obviously safety. The biggest safety is trigger finger control but it does have a selector switch safety here as well. So let's do this. All right guys, after some outside interruption, some loud stuff going on over here, the sun coming out, adjusting the lighting, stuff like that. We're going to put the round ball in here. We're going to shoot it. And then we're going to shoot the first strike round. So let's do it. All right, Mark. Are you ready for this?
All right. We're in there. Round ball coming down range. It's actually extremely accurate even with round ball.
Yeah, you had a couple weird ones.
Yeah, 100%. I mean this is just some old, you know, round ball stuff. So we're going to release the mag, and now we're going to go with the first strike rounds. So let's do it. Nice little yellow fins on there.
Okay. All right, here we go.
How about these are even more accurate.
I would assume so. They fly a lot harder and further I'll tell you that much.
Oh, Jesus.
That's it, man. Wow, Yeah. Those things you can just tell the velocity how straight those things fly, would highly suggest the T15 for any of you guys out there that are scenario players, mag fed guys that are looking for a realistic one-to-one ratio of the AR rifle platform. This thing is awesome. First strike coming with the 13 cubic inch tank. It's got the adjustable Buttstock back here. It does have the two pins you can take a part the bottom half of the receiver like a real AR rifle, everything Picatinny rails, the barrel, can't say enough about it. And like I said earlier in the video, I think they're making an adapter where you can make it hopper fed if you want it to go that route as well. So hit up the shop guys, lonewolfpaintball.com. And this is the first strike T15 rifle as you guys saw this thing is extremely accurate and very, very nice.
Awesome. We got a comment from the YouTubes. This is going to be a fun one 'cause,
All right. So of course I'm going to butcher the name cause that's my thing.
Go ahead.
Gianni Moreno.
Says can I connect my Spire IV to my CS2 pro?
You can. But right now I think they're still in the process of getting those platforms to work together. So it's an option. It is available through the planet eclipse app and obviously the technology built within the Spire IV has it, but I don't think they perfected it currently, but I know it's upcoming.
Okay let's just tell him, we attempted to do an upgrade
I was trying to be nice about it,
to connect to the Spire IV we have followed all the steps, And we were heading into some issues. So we're not going to put that video out until we can do it successfully. So we not really pushing that you should try it until we can do it successfully just because,
But It's supposed to be a thing it's in the process. Yes.
So just patience.
That's it. Thanks for watching guys.
All right. You got a question leave in the comments below. Maybe we'll pick you randomly otherwise see ya.
See that loud noise. There it is. All right.

The Fuller's London Porter is a rich, creamy porter considered as one of the best porter in the world, as illustrated by the many prizes obtained by the beer.
The Fuller's London Porter is a rich, creamy porter considered as one of the best porter in the world, as illustrated by the many prizes obtained by the beer. Out of this top fermentation porter beer came the stout beers. Fuller's call upon the Londonian tradition to return the London Porter to its former glory.
Exceptionally rich in flavours, a special blend of Brown, Crystal and Chocolate malt account for its creamy, rustic texture with distinctive notes of nuts, coffee and chocolate. This beer is perfect paired with meat, pudding or chocolate.
The Fuller's Brewery has been established more than 350 years ago. It is located in Chiswick, in west London.
In 1829, as the owners were in financial trouble, they asked for the help of a new investor, John Fuller. The partnership appeared to be arduous without the help of a master brewer and in 1845, John Bird Fuller, John Fuller's son, associated with Henry Smith and Master Brewer John Butler to form Fuller Smith & Turner, the company which is still in place today.
Throughout the years, the company established its reputation as a great brewery and pub manager. Indeed, this is the only British brewery awarded the "Champion Beer of Britain" title for three beers: London Pride, ESB and Chiswick Bitter.
In 2005, the brewery owned more than 360 pubs in total.
Nose: exceptional richness of flavours with notes of coffee, liqurorice, dark chocolate, caramel, mocha and dried leaves.
Bouche: a mellow, creamy stout with warm oaky and malty notes, nuts, chocolate and coffee.

Q: How can I save a .bmp in racket? I have created a bitmap in drracket, and I would like to save it as a .bmp on my hard drive.
#lang racket
(require racket/draw)

(define test-bitmap
  (let* ((target (make-bitmap 60 30))
         (dc (new bitmap-dc% [bitmap target])))
    (send dc set-font (make-font #:size 14 #:family 'roman
                                 #:weight 'bold))
    (send dc set-text-foreground "blue")
    (send dc draw-text "test" 5 1)
    target))

(send test-bitmap save-file "test.bmp" 'bmp)

When I run this code, drracket reports that "save-file in bitmap%: kind saving not yet implemented: 'bmp" If I use 'png as the kind in the save-file message, the file saves correctly (though with significant visual artifacts).
The documentation for bitmap% lists 'bmp as a valid kind for this operation.
Is this actually unimplemented, or am I making a silly mistake?

A: Currently, BMP files can only be loaded, not saved. See racket/draw/private/bitmap.rkt for more details.
Yes, that does make the documentation for save-file erroneous. I really haven't spotted anything in the source code that would suggest that save-file would actually support bmp.

Vanderbilt women's basketball starter Cierra Walker will transfer to another school, she announced on Instagram Thursday.
Vanderbilt women's basketball starter Cierra Walker will transfer to another school, she announced on Instagram on Thursday.
Walker, a 5-foot-8 junior guard, is the sixth player in three years to leave coach Stephanie White's program with eligibility remaining. She averaged 10.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists while starting all 29 games. Walker also served as a team leader and made 40.1 percent of her 3-pointers as one of the SEC's top perimeter shooters.
I would like to thank Vanderbilt University for the experiences and opportunities I've had, but for next year I will be transferring. I would like to thank the Vanderbilt fans for endlessly supporting me, but I think that it is best for me to continue my career elsewhere. I'm very excited to see where this next chapter takes me!
White will return for her fourth season, the university confirmed Tuesday, despite posting the two worst records in program history in back-to-back seasons. The Commodores went 7-24 in 2016-17 and 7-23 this season.
Walker adds to a talented group of players who have left the program prematurely. After White's first season, Rebekah Dahlman transferred to DePaul. She had led Vanderbilt in scoring as an SEC All-Freshman selection in 2014-15.
After White's second season, Kayla Overbeck (Southern Cal), Erin Whalen (Dayton) and Blessing Ejiofor (Chipola College) each transferred, and Paige Warren left the team but remained enrolled at Vanderbilt.
Walker, a 6-1 forward, and Whalen, a skilled 6-1 combo player, were SEC All-Freshman selections in White's debut season, but they left one year later. Ejiofor was a promising 6-5 post who averaged 6.9 points and 7.8 rebounds at Chipola this season.
Vanderbilt is still projected to return four starters next season, led by Mariella Fasoula (16.2 points, 7.1 rebounds), Chelsie Hall (10.2 points), Autumn Newby (7.6 points, 6.9 rebounds) and LeaLea Carter (8.7 points).
A pair of 2018 five-star signees, Brinae Alexander (Riverdale) and Jordyn Cambridge (Ensworth), will be joined by six recruits in a strong 2019 class next season. Those incoming freshmen include top-100 players Koi Love (5-10 guard) and Demi Washington (5-9 guard) as well as four additional three-star signees.

The Republic of Austria is a landlocked central-European nation of 8.5 million that lies entirely within the Alps mountain range. A majority of the locals speak Bavarian dialects, though standard German is the official language. Vienna is the capital and the most populous city (1.7 million), though there are other major towns, such as Salzburg and Graz. In 1995, Austria joined the EU, and in 1999, she abandoned her currency in favor of the new Euro.
Austria's GDP per capita is $46,000, making it the twelfth wealthiest nation on earth. Most of the nation's major industrial corporations had formerly been under state control, but in the 80's, they were largely privatized. In times past, Germany had always ranked first in foreign trading partners, but since joining the EU, Austria has expanded its commerce to a more Europe-wide posture and has attracted large numbers of foreign investors. After communism fell in the nations just to the east of Austria, Austrian firms took major part in mergers, acquisitions, and consolidations of eastern European companies, and this has enhanced the prestige of Austrian businesses in the region. The major industries in Austria are: steel, chemicals, electronics, and tourism, which Austria ranks ninth in worldwide.
Vienna, Salzburg, Graz, Linz, Innsbruck, and all the major cities of Austria are linked by a 6,100 km (3,500 mi) networks of roads. Cities in the surrounding nations such as Munich, Zurich, Budapest, Bratislava (in Slovakia), and Prague are also linked to Austria by international highways. Austria's towns are also well-connected to each other and the encompassing states by 6,100 km (3,500 mi) of railroad, and Austria even administers the rail system of the neighboring tiny state of Liechtenstein. The most important rail line runs from Budapest, through Vienna and Salzburg, and across the German border to Munich.
Austria has no coast, but it does have four Danube River ports: Enns, Krems, Linz, and Vienna. The Rhine-Main-Danube Canal allows far off Vienna to ship goods to and from the sea at the Dutch port of Rotterdam. There are 55 airports in the land of Austria, the busiest of them being in (in descending order): Vienna (22 million passengers), Salzburg, Innsbruck, and Graz.

X SUIT Zips Past $100,000 on Kickstarter Crowdfunding Campaign as Demand Quickly Grows for the Suit of the Future
XYZ Groups' Fashion-Tech Stretch Suit is liquid and stain repellent, wrinkle resistant, odor proof, has 12 travel pockets and is made of 100% stretch material
Shanghai, China – The X SUIT, made for young professionals, the corporate manager and all men in between who want to look sharp and modern while they dress in comfort, has more than doubled its $50,000 crowdfunding during the first week of it Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign.
XYZ Group's modern and stylish X SUIT is transforming functional fashion technology. It's the world's first full stretch suit; liquid & stain repellent, wrinkle resistant and odor proof
According to X SUIT's designer Max Perez, "X SUITS accommodate a high level of activity and movement for the young modern business professional, and can be worn for days without showing signs of wear or odor."
The X Shell Fabric is equipped with four-way stretch capabilities and an elasticized lining, allowing the wearer to experience a full range of motion which is unattainable in a traditional suit. The added Tensile Thread allows the seams to move with the garment, adding durability.
Perez says, "The suit's durability over several days also makes it the ultimate in travel accessories."
The X SUITS' X Shield® has both liquid- and stain-repellency and can adapt to any weather situation or unfortunate spill. The technology repels liquids and stains alike, keeping the X SUIT looking sharp and clean. Simply pouring water over any stain will cause it to roll off the fabric.
The X Shield further equips the X SUIT with Wrinkle Defense technology making it the perfect travel suit. The X SUIT can be packed in any suitcase and come out without wrinkles.
X SUITS' inner lining has been specially paneled with X Membrane® to Neutralize Odors and keep it smelling fresh all day and night. Each fiber in the lining attracts, isolates, and neutralizes odors immediately, and with quick dry capabilities, keeps sweat stains to a minimal.
The X SUIT is offered in 14 custom sizes and will sell at the fraction of the cost of a similar product. Kickstarter backers will receive their suits approximately three months after funding.
X SUIT Features include:
12 discrete pockets for specific functionality
Wrinkle-free and easily packable – perfect for corporate travel
Phone compartment holds any size phone
Modern yet classic design
Four-way stretch fabric with shape retention
Elasticized, flexible waistband construction

Liquid and Stain Repellent
Metal anodized buttons and zippers
Minimized maintenance and dry-cleaning
Perez says X SUIT is an ideal choice for the young professional who wants to look sharp and modern, and for the corporate manager who is looking for comfort in his work apparel.
"This is the suit for the stylish man on the go, and it's the only suit he will ever need," Perez added. "Our stretch fabric and lining makes the suit fit like its tailor-made. We reduce fabric in areas such as the arms and waist to give the suit a true fitted appearance without feeling stiff or binding."
X SUIT was created by XYZ Group, which is based in Shanghai and run by Canadian brothers Max, Reouven and Nathaniel Perez. The Perez brothers are veteran apparel manufacturers with more than 30 years combined garment manufacturing experience.
Their manufacturing partners have contributed to some of the world's most prestigious brands, including suits in the Hugo Boss, Calvin Klein and Zara lines and is highly skilled with technology applications and tailoring.
XYZ Group and their manufacturing partners have spent more than two years creating and testing dozens of prototypes to arrive at the X SUIT design. They intend to continue to create smart, stylish and comfortable fashion for people on the go.

ROBOSEA's Bionic Unmanned Underwater Drone, BIKI, Zooms to More than 375% of Its Kickstarter Crowdfunding Goal
Full of tech features and operated through a controller or personal mobile device app, the unmanned underwater device with built-in GPS can maneuver nearly anywhere, at a depth of up to 196 feet, using advanced bionics technology
Los Angeles, California -Boya Gongdao (Beijing) Robot Technology Co., Ltd. (Robosea) launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign to fund one of the world's first bionic underwater drones, the BIKI, which is also the only underwater robot featuring automated balance, obstacle avoidance, and return to base. By supporting a 4K camera, BIKI presents you with the best view from underwater. BIKI is the smallest, but also the strongest. Through this intelligent robot fish, you can visualize the underwater world from a completely new perspective. BIKI is not only an almighty underwater drone but also a robot pet full of emotions. Now, just tell BIKI what you want to do!
BIKI is the world's first bionic underwater drone that is also the only underwater robot featuring automated balance, obstacle avoidance, and can automatically return to its starting GPS coordinates
Robosea has implemented an advanced bionics technology into BIKI that they previously invented and developed for the first underwater robot with dual reconfigurable tail fin. This was used to operate in Antarctic Regions, where the underwater robot played a significant role in the anthropic exploration into unknown territory. And the BIKI unmanned underwater drone can easily be controlled with a physical controller or app on your mobile device.
BIKI's bionic design minimizes the volume and weight that's 30 percent more efficient than other UUVs on the market today and includes an infrared positioning sensor, allowing the drone, which resembles a fish, to avoid obstacles automatically and adapt to different complex environments intelligently.
"BIKI can maneuver just about anywhere, and with the use of our trademarked exclusive Robosea Algorithm and set in IMU (inertial measurement unit), it can keep its balance in the water – allowing BIKI self-stabilization to provide smooth videos and sharp photos through its camera platform," said Dr. Minglei Xiong, CEO of Robosea.
4k video and pictures captured can easily be shared via live transmission to personal mobile devices and social media. In the case of a lost connection, a built-in GPS module makes BIKI automatically return to base or send real-time locations to mobile devices.
"You can also design your own routes for BIKI and, if transmission is somehow lost, it will automatically return to base – all the while sending its real-time location to your mobile device," added Xiong. "In addition to 4K UHD video, BIKI also supports 16-megapixel photography at 30 fps that offers the best view from underwater – even when operating at high-speed motion or in darkness."
BIKI operates for up to 90-120 minutes on a single charge, and can operate at depths of nearly 200 feet.
BIKI features include:

Facebook Rolls Out Crowdfunding Platform for Education, Medical, Pets, Crisis Relief, Personal Loss, Sports and Community Needs
However, with a crowdfunding platform commission fee of 6.9% + 30 cents per credit card transaction fee Facebook's Fundraiser Service will be considerably more expensive than competitors such as GoFundMe, Indiegogo and Kickstarter
Menlo Park, California – Facebook is a place where people come together to connect with their communities and support one another in meaningful ways. Today, we are giving people another way to mobilize around causes they care about by expanding personal fundraisers to everyone over 18 in the US and by adding two new categories – community and sports.
Facebook Rolls Out Crowdfunding Platform and Fundraiser Service for Education, Medical, Pets, Crisis Relief, Personal Loss, Sports and Community Needs
Facebook began testing personal fundraisers, a new product that allows people to raise money for a friend, themselves or a sick pet directly on Facebook, in March. Since then, they've been inspired by the response to create them and the support felt by those they benefit.
People can create a fundraiser to quickly raise money on Facebook and easily reach their friends in a few taps, without leaving Facebook, and can share fundraisers to help build momentum. People can learn about the person who created the fundraiser and the person benefiting from the fundraiser, as well as see which friends have donated. Now people can raise money for any of the following categories:
Education: such as tuition, books or classroom supplies
Medical: such as medical procedures, treatments or injuries
Pet Medical: such as veterinary procedures, treatments or injuries
Crisis Relief: such as public crises or natural disasters
Personal Emergency: such as a house fire, theft or car accident
Funeral and Loss: such as burial expenses or living costs after losing a loved one
Sports: such as equipment, competitions or team fees
Community: such as neighborhood services, community improvements or environmental improvements
Nonprofit fundraisers continue to be available for people on Facebook to raise funds and awareness for 501(c)(3) nonprofits.
It's easy to get started:
On mobile, tap the menu icon and select Fundraisers, or on desktop, go to facebook.com/fundraisers
Choose to raise money for a Friend, Yourself or Someone or Something Not on Facebook
Give your fundraiser a title and compelling story, and start raising money
All fundraisers are reviewed within 24 hours. Personal fundraisers are available on all devices, and have a 6.9% Facebook commission fee + $0.30 fee that goes to payment processing, fundraiser vetting, and security and fraud protection. Facebook's goal is to create a platform for good that's sustainable over the long-term, and not to make a profit from our charitable giving tools.
We're constantly inspired by the good people on Facebook do, and we're excited to learn more about how people use this new product so we can continue improving the experience.
Find out more about Facebook fundraisers at facebook.com/fundraisers.

RentUs.com Seeks Equity Crowdfunding via Wefunder to Reinvent the Rental Industry
Investing in Rentus.com Provides an Investment Opportunity for Non-Accredited and Accredited Investors to Buy into the $60 Billion U.S. Rental Industry for as Little as a $100 Investment
Los Angeles, California – Rentus.com, the leading online and mobile rental marketplace is launching a Crowdfunding (Reg CF) campaign on the Wefunder equity crowdfunding platform. The crowdfunding campaign allows anyone to become an investor and get in at the ground floor for as little as $100.
Rentus.com is a website and mobile app available on Apple iOS iTunes store that allows people to shop, compare and rent anything. And users can also make extra income by renting out items they already own.
Rentus.com is targeting the enormous rental industry estimated to be $60 billion strong in the US alone.
With the crowdfunding campaign, Rentus.com is allowing potential investors to get in at the ground floor giving them the opportunity to make money off their investment as Rentus.com grows and expands.
To date, the Sharing Economy has produced very lucrative returns. For those that got in at the ground floor of Uber and Airbnb it turned $1,000 investments into $15 million for Uber and $10 million for Airbnb.
"The rental industry is old-fashioned, out-of-date and needs an upgrade, just like the taxi industry did not too long ago," said Rentus.com's CEO, Elias Chavando. "Rentus.com is giving it a new life by providing a technology up to create a brand new online, interactive, and accessible marketplace. Rental companies can now have online reservations and will be able to attract new customers while using our system as their back-end inventory system."
Rentus.com is a mobile and online rental marketplace where people can rent just about anything. From tools and equipment, to party supplies and camping gear. Rentus.com is tapping into the rising trend of a sharing economy to bring the person-to-person rental industry to a user-friendly and trusted platform. For companies, already in the rental business, it provides efficient access to consumers.
"With the crowdfunding campaign, we are giving our users and crowdfunding investors an opportunity to get into the process early on as we continue to grow our business," Chavando added. "It's an opportunity for those that missed out on their chance to invest with Uber and Airbnb to buy into the the next wave of the sharing economy."
Unlike traditional crowdfunding campaigns on platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, regulation crowdfunding through Wefunder enables campaign supporters to purchase an equity stake in Rentus.com and share in the rewards when the company goes on to future financial success.
"Rentus.com provides us with an additional source of leads and a consolidated portal where our clients go to find what they need," said Dan Toomey, Pro HD Rentals' President. "Understanding our need for additional sources of revenue was very attractive and led to our decision to become a client. Understanding the huge need for a platform like Rentus.com also convinced me become an investor."
Rentus.com is available online at Rentus.com and the Rentus.com mobile app is available for iOS on the iTunes store. To learn more about the crowdfunding campaign and to invest, please visit Wefunder.com/rentuscom

Entrepreneurs to Get Free Access to IBM's Watson IoT Platform and Discounts on Cloud Services
Munich, Germany – IBM (NYSE: IBM) announced a partnership with Indiegogo and Arrow Electronics (NYSE: ARW) to help bring new Internet of Things (IoT) ideas to life. This collaboration brings IBM's Watson IoT platform and cloud services together with ideation to production services from Arrow Electronics and Indiegogo – the world's largest crowd sourced funding platform with more than $1.1 billion raised.
IBM, Indiegogo and Arrow Electronics Partner to Fuel the Next Generation of Internet of Things Startups
Now, qualified Indiegogo entrepreneurs will have no-charge access to IBM Watson IoT Platform via Bluemix for an unlimited amount of time, giving them access to more than 160 industry-leading cloud services to incorporate ready-to-use capabilities, such as artificial intelligence, Blockchain, advanced data analytics and cyber security into their latest IoT inventions. In addition, qualified startups will have access to IBM's global network of technical and industry expertise, education, mentoring and enterprise customers and business partners, all of which can help to bring new and innovative IoT products to market quickly.
"We're very excited to be partnering with Arrow and IBM to help entrepreneurs bring their wildest IoT dreams to life," said David Mandelbrot, CEO of Indiegogo. "We know that fundraising is only one piece of the entrepreneurial puzzle, and by working together with IBM and Arrow we'll be able to continue making it easier for entrepreneurs to bring their ideas all the way from concept to market."
Experts predict that by 2022, the IoT landscape will be worth $14.2 trillion.1 A critical driver to this growth will be entrepreneurs and early-stage businesses which, while armed with ideas, lack the resources and skills to develop these next-generation IoT innovations and bring them to market.
Early examples of Arrow Certified Indiegogo IoT startup projects include:
Fitly, which created Smart Plate, the first intelligent nutrition platform that instantly analyzes and tracks what you eat. An industry first, Smart Plate was developed with support from Arrow and IBM Cloud, and was successfully funded on Indiegogo.
PlayDate, a startup that launched on Indiegogo, created the first smart ball for pets that lets owners interact with their dogs and cats from anywhere in the world. The PlayDate team ran the highest grossing pet tech crowdfunding campaign to date, but used Indiegogo for much more than just funding. They were one of the first campaigns to get Arrow-certified, a badge of approval on their manufacturing plans, and they received $100,000 in flash funding as well as engineering design support. "Arrow and Indiegogo's support was incredibly valuable," said Kevin Li, CEO at PlayDate. "Our campaign with Indiegogo opened doors with partners and acted as market validation for investors. Indiegogo and Arrow partnering with IBM will be a huge benefit for entrepreneurs using the platform."
Through this partnership, IBM, Indiegogo and Arrow are removing key barriers and providing the expertise, resources and funding that entrepreneurs need to develop innovative new connected products and quickly and cost-effectively bring them to market. Combining IBM's powerful cognitive capabilities with Indiegogo's entrepreneur platform and Arrow's end-to-end technology design and production expertise will rapidly increase the volume and quality of IoT devices in market and help fuel a new generation of entrepreneurs.
"Entrepreneurs and startups play a vital role in creating the next generation of businesses – their drive, innovation and passion for bringing new ideas to life is particularly important in building the IoT," said Harriet Green, General Manager Watson IoT. "We are thrilled to partner with Indiegogo and Arrow Electronics to accelerate IoT innovation and development around the world working hand in hand with some of the best and brightest entrepreneurs, developers and startups to build an even better IoT."
In addition to IBM's benefits, Arrow provides qualified Indiegogo campaigns with up to $500,000 in benefits, such as component parts, online product design and prototyping tools, comprehensive technical reviews with Arrow engineers, manufacturing and supply chain services and sustainable recycling. As the only global technology company capable of providing comprehensive, sensor-to-sensor, full IoT product lifecycle solutions, Arrow is uniquely positioned to guide the biggest names in technology, and startups and makers alike, along their IoT production journey.
"IBM will take our groundbreaking collaboration with Indiegogo to a whole new level, helping us reach more entrepreneurs and get their innovative products to market quickly and cost-effectively," said Arrow's Chief Digital Officer Matt Anderson. "As one of the world's largest providers of electronic and IT products and services in the world, Arrow has the breadth of resources and depth of expertise to successfully shepherd promising entrepreneurs along their path to market. Arrow engineers around the world are eager to collaborate with Indiegogo entrepreneurs on cutting-edge tech designs that incorporate the best that IBM's Watson IoT and cloud services have to offer."
IBM made the announcement at its first-ever Genius of Things Summit at the company's Watson IoT headquarters in Munich, where customers, partners and influencers gathered to examine how Watson clients are implementing IoT solutions that drive exceptional outcomes. Around the globe, IBM is working with more than 6,000 clients, across industries, to help them truly realize the benefits of IoT. For more information, please visit:on IBM Watson IoT

Indiegogo Crowdfunding Campaign Seeks to Prevent over 3,000 Deaths and 1.6 Million Accidents with New Smartphone Safe that Completely Eliminates the Cell Phone as a Driving Distraction
The zippered cell phone case makes it easy for any parent or fleet safety manager to enforce a cell phone safety policy, receive real time alerts and generate driver compliance reports
Los Angeles, California – "Texting while Driving" is the #1 leading cause of teenage deaths in America. And, 64% of 2.5 million accidents each year, or 1.6 million crashes, are caused by a drivers that took their eyes off the road for less than 5 seconds in order to read their cell phone's screen and/or send a text message while driving. These stats are growing annually to epidemic proportions even though 46 states and DC have passed laws that specifically outlaw talking on cell phones and texting while driving.
Limited Early Bird Best Deal on a Shellback Smartphone Safe for only $74
"Before Shellback Smartphone Safes were invented, it was almost impossible to enforce corporate cell phone safety policies," said Michael Maguire, Shellback Smartphone Safe's CEO. "But now it is possible for parents, business owners, and fleet safety managers to receive real time alerts and prevent accidents before they happen. They will always know when specific phones are not in use — especially when driving. In addition, the Smartphone Safe's LED lights indicate to the driver that the Smartphone Safe is in 'safe' mode and fully compliant — making it easy to improve driver behavior."
The Smartphone Safe tracks the phone continuously, but only reports violations of opening the case while driving. Back-end reporting makes it easy to identify and address your high-risk drivers and to recognize your safe drivers. Our cloud-based servers store all information and provide useful dashboards to improve your operations and reduce any liability. Finally — cell phone policies can be enforced and substantiated.
Over the past eighteen months, the Smartphones Safes have been tested in real world conditions. Driver behavior improves when they know there will consequences for violating the cell phone policy. Safety improves dramatically. Costs and liabilities are greatly reduced.
Shellback is raising $50,000 to fund its 1st large-scale manufacturing production run via an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign that begins on February 6th and ends on March 20, 2017.
The MSRP for the Smartphone Safe is $60 and a monthly monitoring fee of $15 per month or $240 per year, but the crowdfunding campaign will offer Early Bird Perks that offer Smartphone Safes and monthly monitoring for $74, $99, $140, and $150 until the limited supplies are gone.
It will also offer significant discounts to Cell Phone Case and Accessories Retailers, Resellers, Distributors and Fleet Managers that want to buy in bulk quantities of 10, 30, or 60 Smartphone Safes per order.

Last Night A Cop Killed A Black Missouri Teen For Pointing A Gun At Him
By James B. Barnes, December 24th 2014
Last night in Berkeley, Missouri, outside a Mobil gas station, an 18-year-old Black male pointed a gun at a police officer. The officer then fired three shots at the man, one of which killed him on the scene. The deceased has been identified by his mother as Antonio Martin who "was known to police for various charges including weapons and stealing."
Here is the play-by-play of what is happening in the video according to the St. Louis County Police and which appears to be verified by the security tape:
From the videotape released by St. Louis County Police and Belmar's description, the officer was near the front driver's side of the vehicle and the suspect was on the other side, near the car's headlights, when the shooting occurred.
As the officer points his gun, he is backing away and loses his balance, Belmar said. As he fell, he dropped his flashlight and fired off at least three shots.
After the shooting, between 200 and 300 protesters arrived on the scene and confronted officers. A nearby QuickTrip store was also vandalized prior to police preventing access to it. Per the St. Louis Dispatch:
Between 200 and 300 protesters gathered at the scene after the shooting, and conflicts broke out between officers and protesters, Belmar said.
Four people were arrested for assaulting officers, and at least one officer was injured when he tried to get away from some sort of firework device set off on the parking lot, Belmar said.
Protesters also threw some bricks at officers, Belmar said. Police used pepper spray on the crowd but did not use any tear gas, the chief said.
He also said several police cars were damaged, and some protesters brought bags of rocks to the scene.
Below is video of Antonio's mother and the protesters confronting police. Four individuals were arrested and one police officer was injured when protesters set off what appears to be fireworks near the gas pumps.
It is illegal in the state of Missouri to conceal and carry a pistol without a permit.

The other day I was rushing to get out of the house to an appointment and I realized I had put my shirt on backwards, which of course is greatly inconvenient when one is in a hurry. Great, I thought, why is it that the only time I ever put my shirt on backwards is when I'm in a hurry?
Then I realized the answer is, when I'm not in a hurry I check to be sure that I'm not putting my shirt on backwards before I actually put it on.
I think there might be a lesson here.

You are probably wondering what on earth the title of this article is all about? Perhaps something about a horror film or a book? A bad dream? Nope, not at all. It concerns one of the strangest types of travel that I experience. The rail commute into London.
An early morning; normally around 6:30am. It is dark and possibly cold. The cars arrive at the railway station and people park up. Everyone seems to have a "spot" that they park in, normally to enable them to leave as quickly as possible at the other end of the day.
A rapid walk to the station office and a queue – the first of the day – to buy a coffee, tea and perhaps the paper. The coffee shop staff are warm and friendly and chat to each customer in turn, often, and this is important, calling them by their name. Everyone they speak to responds and smiles and there is a brief moment of friendliness.
Then a quick walk down the ramp to the station platform and a short walk along the platform, either towards the front or towards the rear of the platform, depending on personal preference. But, and this is important. The regulars, always stand in the same place. Yep. nearly exactly the same place.
Then we wait. In silence. Complete and total silence. Nobody speaks or chats.
The tannoy announces that the train is approaching on "Platform Two". You know, if you have done the journey as many times as I have over the past few years, that the train is about a mile away, or a few minutes till it arrives. If it has been raining, people come out of the rain shelters. Umbrellas are folded away and people get ready to board the train.
People press the open door buttons and climb aboard. A brief scramble and everyone gets to a seat.
At this point, I'll point out, that whilst I live on a main line railway into London, my station is far enough out, that I always get a seat. The interesting point, though, is that time after time, people choose the same seat. Rarely do they choose something different. Laptops open. Books are extracted. Tablets and iPads are turned on. Smartphones twinkle in the carriage lights. Everyone. And I mean nearly everyone, does something so that they do not have to interact, even look at the person opposite or beside them. Silence reigns.
The train leaves and picks up speed. Soon, it is slowing down and arrives at the next station. The process is repeated. And again. And again. At some point, there are no more seats and people stand. Yep. Stand all the way into London.
Some people pay over four thousand pounds [£4,000] every year to stand on a train!
Eventually, we arrive in London and there is the queue to exit the train. The rapid walk to the exit barriers. Followed by queueing to present your ticket and leave the train station. A further walk and some of us, continue by foot to our offices. Some turn right and queue to go onto the London Underground. Followed by queueing to get on the underground train. Queueing to leave the station and then the final walk to their office or place of work.
For nearly the whole journey, there is silence. People do not talk. Hang on, though? Right at the beginning, everyone that was commuting that morning was greeted by the people in the coffee shop when they borough their morning drink. Each one by their name. Everyone who is a regular, at some point, will find out the name of the people they are traveling with.
This whole experience, I call getting onto the "Vampire Express".
Why on earth do I call it that? Until I took up Mindfulness, I felt as though my whole soul was being sucked dry by this depressive, negative and repetitive process and atmosphere. You might have felt it too reading it just now.
So now when I travel to London by train, how do I deal with it differently?
When I go to the coffee shop in the morning I order water and always smile and chat to the staff. I choose to stand in different places on the platform. When the train arrives, I always wait for the person in front to get on. I generally say good morning to the person next to me. I do not have a fixed seat, but try to consciously be aware of where people want to sit.
When we get to a different station and the train is full, if there is someone who looks like they need a seat, I will ask them if they would like mine. The look of astonished gratitude on their faces when this happens is amazing.
I make the effort to look around the carriage and also to see what is rushing past the window. I try to practice a silent breath mindfulness practice and be present and aware. I never rush at the other end.
Does it make a difference? I think so. There are sometimes more smiles on my carriage. A nod and a hello back. Little acts of warmth and happiness. I treat the commute as a journey, rather than a means to a destination, and hence enjoy it for what it is.
I leave you with the following quote…..

The Social Media Intifada: Facebook, Twitter and YouTube Used Extensively for Promoting Violence Against Israelis
An image from the Facebook page, "Palestine Belongs to Palestinians!"
"All the rioters and rock-throwers we are seeing have smartphones, computers, websites and Facebook and Twitter accounts," Palestinian affairs expert Khaled Abu Toameh told The Algemeiner on Thursday, following multiple stabbing attacks against Israelis throughout the day across the country.
Abu Toameh was responding to the question of the role of social media in what the Palestinian street has been calling the "third intifada."
Israeli officials and analysts deny that the recent spate of violence is an organized uprising, in the vein of the first intifada (from 1987-1991), characterized by rock-throwing and Molotov cocktails, and the second (from 2001-2005) suicide-bombing war.
But when "lone wolf" attacks occur several times daily, as they have been for weeks now, a new definition is sought for a terror wave that appears like a kind of "spontaneous combustion."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has blamed the Palestinian Authority leadership for the surge in violence, attributing it to incitement.
"But incitement comes in different forms," said Abu Toameh. "There is the kind that Abu Mazen [P.A. President Mahmoud Abbas] systematically engages in to rile up his population; and there is also the kind that is spread and fostered by peers and activists, who use social media as a tool to organize riots and encourage one another to become 'martyrs' for the cause."
Abu Toameh pointed to examples of the postings on the Facebook pages of the young knife-wielding terrorists, whose actions have led to the deaths of five Israelis and the wounding of dozens of others in the last month – since the eve of Rosh Hashanah on September 8 – alone.
"Each one of the killers had said he or she was prepared and even happy to die for the cause of murdering Jews," he said. "And they are buying into Abu Mazen's lies about how the Temple Mount is being abused by Israel."
According to Palestinian Media Watch, an Israeli NGO devoted to monitoring incitement in the official P.A.-run press, in addition to sermons in Palestinian mosques and text books used to educate Palestinian children, social media has, indeed, been instrumental in fomenting the violence.
The official P.A. daily, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, concurs, as is indicated by the following item, published on Oct. 2 and provided by PMW:
Palestinian users of the social networks Facebook and Twitter posted pictures from the scene of the settlement Itamar operation (i.e., terror attack murder of Naama and Eitam Henkin in front of their four children) south of Nablus, the most significant being the picture of the killed woman settler and her husband, alongside expressions of joy over the operation which they described as 'heroic.' [Palestinian] citizens expressed their joy over this event.
This is but one example of how the Internet is used by the Palestinian youth to promote the slaughter of Israeli civilians.
YouTube, too, has served as a fertile environment for the promulgation of death and destruction. This week alone, two video clips encouraging the killing of "Zionists" were widely circulated. One is a Hamas rendition of an Israeli hit, sung by Mizrahi pop star Eyal Golan, with lyrics in Hebrew and subtitles in Arabic, warning the "Zionists" that they will be killed.
The source of the other clip is unknown, but it is a lesson in how to kill Jews in Jerusalem.
When alerted to the existence of these clips, the Israeli Foreign Ministry sent a letter to Google Israel – whose parent company, Google Inc., owns YouTube — to request that the "hateful" and "racist" content be removed.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon told The Algemeiner on Thursday that the response from Google, and from policy-makers at Facebook, with whom he is in touch, has been "very good."
Google, he said, "has already removed one of the films [created by an unknown source], and is in the process of investigating the other one," produced by Hamas.
Nahshon added that he will be meeting with a senior Facebook manager, when he comes on business to Israel next week, to discuss the issue.
Still, Nahshon admits, "It is not certain that removing such clips from social media will have an effect" on the current security situation in Israel, or on the Palestinian populace.
"Remember, social media sites cannot do anything of this sort in advance," he said. "They react to what is reported by other users and then flagged. So, for every film they remove, another one crops up."
But, he insisted, "We have to continue being vigilant."
According to Nahshon, the Foreign Ministry – which has a digital media department — is aided in this "vigilance" by organizations like Palestinian Media Watch and other hasbara (public diplomacy) agencies, "as well as by our embassies throughout the world – because not all of the material is in English."
Watchdog bloggers also keeps regular tabs on antisemitic and anti-Israel activity on social media. In particular, pro-Israel blogger "Elder Of Ziyon" has been following the hate-filled posts of teachers employed by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), funded mainly by Europe and the United States. Complaints to the relief organization and the U.N. often lead to the removal of particular posts. New ones continue to appear on a regular basis, however.
Asked why the Israeli government should allocate resources to what he described as an uphill battle, if the Sisyphean challenge may not bear fruit, Nahshon was adamant in his conclusion: "This is an ongoing struggle, which could take a very long time. But we are obligated to conduct it. Ultimately, it will have been worth the effort.


As V 37, this V 39 featured a plastic structure and a molded over soft polyurethane lining; built exclusively for Mercury, this wheel entered Quicksilver accessories catalog.
In this project, too, I cared for both aesthetic and technical aspects, including executive design and assistance to dies manufacturing.
Mercury Marine is one of the most famous outboard motors manufacturer in the world, and it was interesting to design a wheel that Ultraflex was to produce exclusively for them.
Times later, I used one of these wheels to steer a service boat, at my yacht club, and I was satisfied as an user, too.


Gaza the strip on the western border of Israel. Hamas, the terror organization who control. Hamas, who will never recognize Israel as a country. They want to annihilate Israel and the Jewish People globally.
Gaza, the strip located between Israel and has a border with Egypt. Hamas, the terror organization who controls it. Hamas since taking control of Gaza has done nothing but fired rockets into Israel. Recently they keep stating that these rockets have been a mistake, but how is this possible?
Israel disengaged from Gaza in 2005, in the hope it would bring peace. The Arabs would have their land and be in control of it and Israel would finally see peace. However, this is not true, the terror only got worse. Hamas, in March 2019 shot a rocket that landed past Tel Aviv, in a home. If the SIren would not have gone off this family would have been burying their children.
Recently, people in Gaza have started protesting. Hamas spends all the money it gains towards rockets and reigning terror in Israel. The people in Gaza are getting bored and want their money. They want it to spend on food, clothes and other utilities. The Hamas government is being unfair to the citizens of Gaza. The Hamas mission is to dispose of Israel and the Jews, ignoring the Arab citizens.
The Peace process talks have been going on since the beginning of the conflict. The conflict started when David Ben Gurion stood up in a hall in Tel Aviv and declared the State of Israel. Some countries, such as Egypt and Jordan, both of whom have signed peace treaties with Israel. Egypt signed in 1979 and Jordan in 1994.
The problem with the peace process is that the Arab side is not committed. Even in 1947 when the United Nations Partition was planned, the Arabs rejected it. The Jews agreed to the Plan. The Jewish People have wanted nothing more than peace.
Many countries recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization. What happened to the saying "we don't negotiate with terrorists" or does that not apply to Israel? Or is the world anti-Zionist? Many feel that the Israeli side has done nothing but give, given the Arabs control of Gaza and other cities in Judea and Samaria. But what have the Arabs given the Israelis? Even today, in 2019 they are shooting rockets at Israeli civilians.
You can not have a peace process when the one side wants to annihilate the other. The Arabs do not wish for the Jews to exist, they want to push them back into the Sea and take control of the Land.


Maine has a growing population problem; its total number of high school graduates is declining and the average age of its residents is increasing. The two statistics are creating growing concern for its system of seven public four-year colleges and universities, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education.
System officials have consolidated campus services, increased out-of-state recruitment efforts, and broadened competency-based education programs, but the rural state still faces an uphill battle with the loss of manufacturing industries and the yet-to-arrive impact of population loss. Research indicates the Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire could lose 23% of their college students by 2029.
Maine system leaders are working on a 'One University' concept to centralize approaches to administration and academic programs, but they find that culture and independent approaches to improving performance create sowed progress when a number of institutions are involved in the decision-making process. Also, administrators said that accreditation is a potential handicap to a multi-institution integrated university system mainly because of financial aid constraints.
Maine's higher education struggles may be emblematic of the industry's looming issues, but also reflect the specific challenges for rural states and regions. States like West Virginia, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi face similar prospects for cost-cutting and administrative cuts driven by the states' struggles to keep residents due to low job prospects and other issues.
Campus and system leaders can look for ideas from community colleges, which in recent years have become much stronger in developing workforce development partnerships to spur enrollment and private financial support. State and federal governments will not be able to boost industries that can complement full liberal arts degree programming, so the campuses must make the case for industry to support campus growth through a trained workforce and management preparation pipeline.


Review: These Liverpudlian beat mavens have always - like many great bands - been a mass of contradictions. Perpetually youthful yet with a sound forever entrenched in the heady haze of the late '60s, they've now set themselves up as something of an institution for a mindset based on worn copies of 'Forever Changes' and 'Five Leaves Left, Yet 'Distance Inbetween' - their first for five years - is proof positive that their charm, for all its familiarity, is unlikely to wear off soon. A bold and colourful display of world-class songwriting and heavy-lidded cool from perennial psychedelic peacocks.
Review: Pretty much bang on for presenting an album every two to three years, England's The Coral present their latest effort, with artwork as ironic as it gets. The album, it's said, is inspired by a playlist heard at their local Wirral fair and each track across Move Through The Dawn can be safely filed away as soft rock. The happy, country-vibe times of the band's demeanour rolls on and tambourines shake, vocals are harmonised and guitar solos fly, though it's the melancholic, vespertine energy of the album that leaves its mark. Highlights for us include feelgood album opener "Eyes Like Pearls" and the late-80s rock pop revival "Undercover Of The Night".

Q: How to input Date with slider in Java Script I have a concept with a slider, where each shift of the slider will change the date value.
I would like it to act as following:
If value = 1 Then Day + 1 (tomorrow)
If value = 2 Then Day + 2 (day after tomorrow)
Thanks In Advance.

  <input onchange='setImage(this)' type="range" min="0" max="8" value="0" step="1" id="myRange" class="slider" />

 Value :   ( )

A: You'll have to get the value in the slider and then add that value to the day as you slide it. Also, you should check if the value is greater or equal to zero so that when you slide back to zero it gets back to the current date. Furthermore, you'll have to parse the value that you get from the slider input, as it's a string and in order to add it to the day you'll need it to be a number. See the snippet below:

var date = new Date();
var day = date.getDate();
var month = date.getMonth();
var yy = date.getYear();
var year = yy < 1000 ? yy + 1900 : yy;

var slider = document.getElementById("myRange");
var output = document.getElementById("demo");
var date = document.getElementById("Date");
output.innerHTML = slider.value;
date.innerHTML = day + " " + month + " " + year;
slider.oninput = function(e) {
  let value = parseInt(e.target.value);
  if (value >= 0) {
    date.innerHTML = day + value + " " + month + " " + year;
  } else {}
  output.innerHTML = this.value;
};

  <input onchange="setImage(this)" type="range" min="0" max="8" value="0" step="1" id="myRange" class="slider" />

    Value :   ( )

Mutations in skin cells accumulate to cause pre-cancers and skin cancers which include squamous cell carcinoma. It is the second most common type of skin cancer and mainly related to excessive sun damage and sun exposure. Some are superficial and some can grow very fast and become invasive. They are scaly, red, and do not go away on their own. They may bleed and some may be painful, although most just stick around without causing pain.
Basically anyone who has been in the sun- which means all of us. However, some of us are more susceptible. Light-skinned individuals with blonde hair and colored eyes are at the most risk since they don't have much in terms of pigment protection. This means their cell's DNA is more at risk of damage from the sun than others. A tanning history whether in the tanning bed or outside puts you at a higher risk as well. The damage to the skin is cumulative, I like to liken it to a huge tank filling up with water drop-by-drop. At first there is barely any water but as time goes on- after years the tank starts to really fill up. At some point the tank will overflow- that is when skin cancer happens. Enough damage has been done that there is no turning back. Therefore, it is never too late to start using sunscreen and protecting yourself from the adverse effects of ultraviolet radiation.
Organ transplant recipients, people with immune system compromise (i.e. undergoing cancer treatment), those on certain immunosuppressive medications are also more susceptible to squamous cell carcinoma. If you fall into the high risk category then you should definitely be seeing your Dr. Al Dabagh for a skin screening regularly.
While it feels nice to bask in the sun on a breezy summer day, you should be smart about it. We know the culprit when it comes to squamous cell carcinoma- ultraviolet (UV) exposure from sun light. Part of living healthy is being in equilibrium with your environment including the closest star to us- the sun. The first layer of protection is avoidance. Yes, you can enjoy nice weather but there is no reason to be consistently outside (unless it is part of your job) during peak sunlight hours. This means going outside before 10 AM or after 2 PM. The midday hours (10-2) have the most amount of UV radiation. Seek the shade when possible. Clothing is next including a wide-brimmed hat, long sleeves, pants and clothing that protects from the sun. Clothing have a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Pactor) rating now which is like SPF (sun protection factor)- shoot for one that has a UPF of 50 or above if possible. Sunscreen is also very important- please see our page on sunscreen for more information. In general, I recommend an SPF of at least 30 to be applied before going outside and reapplied every 2 hours. You can enjoy the sun but please be smart about it.
I think I have a skin cancer and I am freaking out.
Take a deep breath. You might know a relative, friend, or neighbor who had a skin cancer. Someone you know may have even passed away from cancer. It is important to differentiate and know that not all skin cancers are created equal in aggressiveness. Some are less dangerous to deal with (when caught early) like squamous cell carcinoma and some can be lethal like melanoma or merkel cell carcinoma. The other fact to keep in mind is you should not self-diagnose. What you are freaking out about may be benign or what you may think is nothing (pimple or blemish) may actually be cancerous. That's where I come in- I have the training and expertise to clinically diagnose and treat these skin cancers. I may reassure you or I may have to do a procedure to confirm the diagnosis. It is especially important to be checked regularly especially if you have a longstanding history of excessive sun exposure or if you have a personal or family history of skin cancer. If you already have had a squamous cell carcinoma, your risk for another one is higher than the general population. Squamous cell carcinoma does not usually go to other organs of the body especially if treated early.
You diagnosed a squamous cell carcinoma on my skin, now what?
If the biopsy returns as a squamous cell carcinoma, then I will discuss the options with you. Depending the size, location, and aggressiveness (even squamous cell carcinomas have subtypes) we will come up with the best option to treat it. It may be a topical cream, a surgical procedure, or radiation treatment. The good news is that squamous cell carcinomas are highly curable especially when caught early. The main point to remember is to have them treated early to avoid larger surgical scars and local spread.


With the majority of Earth's population now residing in urban areas, city-makers have an obligation to forge a more viable, sustainable urban habitat, with increased urban density playing an important role. Tall buildings need to be seen as integrated pieces of urban infrastructure, dedicated to improving quality of life in the city as a whole. This requires a cohesive, multi-disciplinary response.
Providing a global overview of dense urban development, this book explores the projects, technologies, and approaches currently reshaping skylines and urban spaces worldwide. In this edition, innovations in the constituent disciplines that bring tall buildings to life, and even extend their lives—construction, the engineering of façades, fire & risk, geotechnical engineering, interior space, MEP, renovation, and structural engineering—are all explored.
The Tall Buildings + Urban Habitat book is produced annually by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), the global authority on the inception, design, construction, and operation of tall buildings and future cities.
