How To Get Started On Google Lens

Last month, Google rolled out its innovative Google Lens app to most Android phones. Here's how to get the most out of its visual-recognition abilities.
); } );
Originally only available for Pixel 2 (and later added to the original Pixel), the tool is now being rolled out to all Android phones with Google Assistant and Google Photos. Hurrah!"]
It's been almost 10 years since Google Goggles launched, the app that lets you learn more about real-world objects by taking photos of them. Google basically abandoned that app when it launched a much-improved version of the technology in Google Lens last year, but only Pixel owners could play point-and-recognise.
Not any more.
Google is now dropping Lens into Google Photos, which gives many more Android users a chance to play with the technology. The company also promises that iOS users will get an opportunity to use Lens in Google Photos "soon".
Rolling out today, Android users can try Google Lens to do things like create a contact from a business card or get more info about a famous landmark. To start, make sure you have the latest version of the Google Photos app for Android: https://t.co/KCChxQG6Qm
Coming soon to iOS pic.twitter.com/FmX1ipvN62
— Google Photos (@googlephotos) March 5, 2018
Using Lens in Google Photos is easy, but slightly less convenient than Lens in Google Assistant. Just take a picture of anything, such as a landmark, a book or a business card, and pull it up in Google Photos. Tap on the Lens icon to have Google scan the image. Depending on what it recognises, it will provide you with a card that has relevant information and, if applicable, a few prompts you can tap to interact with the item in additional ways.
For example, if you use Google Lens to scan a business card, it will recognise your contact's email address, phone number and job title – to name a few items. You can then save that info to your phone as a new contact with a single tap, saving yourself all that annoying typing.
With Lens integrated into Photos, many more Android users can now shoot photos of their friends' routers if they don't want to bother typing in complicated logins and passwords (even though your friends really should have changed those).
Google Lens can also help identify flowers, objects in nature, and the food on your plate. If you're travelling, you can scan your photographs of historic buildings to figure out what they are, take photographs of artwork to learn more about their painters, and even look up a restaurant's reviews (and when they're open).
memeweaver says:
I tried a business card just now and it worked sooo much better than the Samsung SnapBizCard. I hope that Samsung allow it as an alternative for integration with Contacts.
projectkennedy says:
Just tried it on a picture of my dog and it correctly identified his breed(Australian terrier). Neat!

United Democratic Party - The Gambia
Political parties will be recognized as the vehicles for expressing the political will and aspiration of the citizens. As one of the pillars of democratic practice, political parties shall provide the necessary framework for the effective participation of the citizenry in the political process. We shall support and encourage the operations of a multi-party environment that will subscribe to the process of affecting a change of government. Any law that seeks to restrict the operations of such political parties shall be abrogated. As important agencies in the political educational process, the UDP Government shall provide support to political parties in carrying out their civic education programs.
The Press has a particularly important role to play in strengthening democracy. It has the responsibility of informing and educating the citizens as well as the Government on the concerns, needs and possibilities of the ship of the state. To fulfill this role effectively calls for an active press and committed journalists whether from the public or private sector.
We will support and encourage a free press as a pillar of democracy. We will abolish all unjustified restrictions on the press. We shall also ensure that individual privacy and personal information are protected for all citizens.
Civic education can only take place effectively in an atmosphere devoid of authoritarianism. We will encourage and support civic education through the National Civic Education Agency, the schools and the political parties so that the citizens can play a more active and enlightened role in the political and general development of the country. An enlightened population will be a bulwark against political abuse of power and a defense against military interference in politics.
Justice System
We shall strengthen the justice delivery systems of The Gambia while at the same time ensuring the independence of the judiciary to dispense justice in a credible, impartial manner. We are committed in the name of justice to providing all people who feel unjustly treated an opportunity to appeal before an independent judicial commission for a review of their cases.
The Security of The Gambia
The role of the Armed Forces, Police and other security agents is to defend the sovereignty of the country and maintain peace and stability for all citizens.
We will provide adequate resources and needed equipment for the effective defense of the country. The Police force will be strengthened to deal with crime and drug trafficking that is becoming a national embarrassment.
We will provide improved professional military and other training facilities to allow the army to play a useful role in the development process especially in constructing roads bridges; and gully erosion control and forest management during peace time.

Nurses in Scotland could support strike action according to a recent poll
Scotland ScotRail NHS RMT Royal College of Nursing Unison
Some nurses in Scotland have shown support for strike action amid the current cost of living crisis.
A poll of over 200 nurses found that almost all Scottish nurses who were questioned are unhappy with the current pay offer from the NHS, with more than half supporting industrial action, which could include strikes. Nurses are represented by a number of unions in Scotland, including the Royal College of Nursing, Unison, GMB, and Unite.
Following a five percent pay award offer earlier in the year, the unions were quick to point out that the increased pay fell below the current level of inflation. Unison said in a statement that they were recommending that their members reject the pay offer.
Wilma Brown, Chair of UNISON Scotland's health committee, said: "NHS staff are angry. They see bills going through the roof and feel the Scottish Government should be doing more to support them with the highest inflation in living memory."
The Royal College of Nursing also urged nurses to reject the offer in a ballot - which also asked if members would take industrial action - which has now closed.
Now, a poll of 229 nursing staff in Scotland has been conducted by NursingNotes, it found that 92 percent of nurses polled would reject the recent NHS pay offer. It also found that 67 percent of the nurses polled said they would support industrial action, up to and including strike action.
Julie Lamberth, Chair, RCN Scotland Board, Said: "From petrol to food to energy prices, and the argument for an above-inflation pay increase for our hard-pressed nursing staff is more compelling than ever.
"The latest pay offer does not match our expectations of an above-inflation award, but it is right that our members should have the final say on whether to accept or reject the offer."
It comes amid a number of strikes in Scotland, with RMT industrial action set to disrupt Scottish rail services next week despite ScotRail employees not taking part in the action. The strikes will have an impact on ScotRail services due to Network Rail Scotland workers walking out.
However, the RMT has now rejected a pay increase of five percent as well as a revenue sharing programme for ScotRail ticket examiners, conductors and station staff. The union says that they are hoping to go into urgent talks with ScotRail to avoid strike action.
More than 100,000 Royal Mail staff members will also strike over four days in August and September in a call for a "dignified, proper pay rise".
Unite members employed by DHL in Scotland, as well as those working in waste, recycling, and street cleaning in Edinburgh have planned strike action this month as well.

The Northern Collaboration has worked with partners OCLC, to develop the first higher education consortia model in the UK using the QuestionPoint webchat tool to provide an enquiry service in the evenings, at week-ends and bank holidays. Queries are answered by librarians in the USA.
We piloted the service, with OCLC, for a 12 month period which ended May 2014. Following evaluation, we are delighted that the service is being extended in 2014/15 across the Northern Collaboration.
Our aim is to enhance the student experience and to provide a cost-effective, real-time out-of-hours enquiry service as well as to explore the benefits and challenges of working collaboratively. The Virtual Enquiry Service complements our existing services to provide 24/7 coverage.
Enquiries are answered by librarians in the OCLC 24/7 Reference Co-operative which comprises over 1000 members who are based mainly in the USA.
7 institutions took part in the pilot: Cumbria, Durham, Huddersfield, Leeds Beckett, Newcastle, Salford and Teesside (representing diverse mission groups and size). Sheffield Hallam also joined the pilot in May 2014.
Ongoing support is provided by OCLC's QuestionPoint Product Manager and support has been provided to all participating institutions by the two project operational leads, Russell Jones (Leeds Beckett) and Jackie Oliver (Teesside).
From September 2014 the service is being extended to all members of the Northern Collaboration who wish to participate. Already 16 institutions have committed to joining, and several others are actively considering it.
The project is unique in the UK and has attracted interest from other regional library collaborations/consortia and from SCONUL. There is an acknowledged potential for a shared Virtual Enquiry Service to be further developed as a regional and national service.


I stopped in at the little store in town today. It used to have five aisles, but recently they reorganized to bring the feed, seed, and hardware into the main grocery building, and somehow they managed to squish it all together and make it work with aisles of plumbing pipes and nails and chains and chickens feeders next to flour, sugar, and canning jars. I'm not sure how many aisles there are now, but there are a lot–and in the same space. And they still have the deli and fast food kitchen at the back with little tables to sit and shoot the breeze or wait for your hamburger.
Now that I'm farming on my own, I'm in the store more often, usually once a week. I'm the one picking up the feed or whatever else is needed. It's a full-service little store. You can rent movies, get a hot pizza to order, pick up your milk and bread, find any hardware items you need, get your feed and seed or a bale of straw, and even check your deer if you have one–all in one place. It's the only store for miles and miles around, and it does it all. In the spring, you can get chicks and bunnies, too.
Well, okay, call it that if you want since that's what it's called. I'm figuring out the right words for stuff.
Every time I'm in there lately, I gravitate to the hardware aisles. Not to buy anything, though sometimes I'm tempted. I just walk slowly up and down the aisles and look at everything. I stop and pick stuff up. Read the names of things on the packages, and think, so that's what a whatzahoozit is. I'm fascinated by all the strange objects and tools and pieces and parts. I want to make stuff and fix stuff. For now, I just look at stuff, let it seep into my brain and tell myself I could use this, I could do something with that, it can't be more complicated than knitting needles.
In the whole time I lived at Stringtown Rising, I never bought myself any work gloves. I wore the same pair of red gloves I've had for a long time. I got them to go with a hat and coat I have. I bought them in the women's department of a chain store. They're made of some kind of stretchy velour material with some leather padding on the inside of the palm and fingers. They get wet, and they aren't all that warm.
The little store had a rack of work gloves at the front of one of the hardware aisles. I picked up a pair of insulated leather work gloves and put them on. I walked up and down the aisles looking at whatzahoozits and thinking about how I didn't have any work gloves. Every once in a while, I'd put them on, then take them off again, then put them on again, wondering why I'd never bought myself any real work gloves before.
Then after I finished looking at all the whatzahoozits for the day, I walked up to the counter with the gloves and bought them.
I think I never took myself seriously at this farming thing before.
And next time I'm at the little store, I'm going to get a pair for Morgan, too.
Excellent! They look like they'll do the trick and protect those fingers. Love hardward stores and all those gizmoes and gadgets. I always figured if the boys can buy this stuff and make it work…so can I…and so can you!
It's amazing what you'll find inside yourself when you take a deep breath and do whatever needs doing, even if you haven't done it by yourself before. Congratulations, Farmer!
Those kind of gloves give you "mighty hands" – you'll feel like you can wrangle any task … and just wait until they get dingy and dirty – that'll make you feel even more like a "real" farmer.
I love stores like that… great buy on the gloves, too!
Thanks for the smile I got from reading your post today. I love hardware stores which seem to have one of everything that was ever made. Center Hardward in St. Albans, where I used to live, is one of my favorites. Enjoy your new gloves!
Suzanne its amazing to see how much you've grown. Thank you for sharing. I love knowing that there is someone like you out there willing to share not just the ups but the downs and realities too.
Gosh Suzanne I do the EXACT same thing at our farm store!! You have to be familiar with all that stuff, if they sell it someone must use it for something. Keep pressing on Sister, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish!
It always does. And he's the only person I let call me Sweetie, it's just not offensive when he uses it! I'd take a one of those over a dozen Walmarts!
Great looking gloves! You are lucky that you found some to fit. They are always too big for me.
And don't be intimidated by the store guys…they need something to do, make them feel good by letting them help you!
What does it mean to check your deer?
It's great that you want to make stuff and fix stuff….I know you're smart enough. You won't need no man, maybe except for the really heavy duty stuff!
Our local hardwarre store has wooden floors and we (or at least I) always feel like they must go, "Oh God, here she comes again!" I'm always looking for something by the wrong name, or want to use it for something other than what it's supposed to be for.
When we lived in the desert, at first the local drug store also sold clothes and lumber, but enough clothing shops opened, and they stopped that, and then a big hardware store opened, and the drug/everything store folded.
I love the sound of your store and I think your gloves are great!
What did Morgan say or has she seen them?
Julia…Checking your deer is during hunting season. The hardware store near Suzanne is an official game checking station. If you don't check in your deer, it is an illegal kill. We have a little grocery store here in Tornado that checks in deer.
Julia, if you shoot a deer during deer hunting season, you have to "check" it or sorta sign in with it or something. (I've never checked a deer. I'm sure someone will come by to give a more concise explanation.) You're only allowed to get so many deer, and if you are stopped by a game patrol officer, you have to show that you have checked your deer or you will be fined.
I have a pair of gloves just like those. I love them. They make me a better farmer because they make me less afraid to get in there and get stuff done.
Julia, when you buy your deer hunting license it comes with a tag for the deer. You fill out the info and check it (like register it) at a game checking station. There are limits on deer – buck, doe, gun, bow, and number of deer. There are multiple checking stations spread around each county. You just tie the tag on the deer and go check it in. Not hard at all.
Suzanne, you impress me more and more all the time. I love seeing a woman become strong and independent. Did you ever think when you moved to WV that you would be stretching and growing like this?
HARDWARE STORES – WHAT A PLEASANT MEMORY.
IN THE TOP OF MAINE. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE. THEY HAD BEAUTIFUL BRAIDED RUGS ON THE BED SIDE AND YOU FLUSHED BY PULLING A CHAIN. THE NEXT MORNING BREAKFAST WAS SOOOOO GOOD. VACATION SHOULD START THE MOMENT YOU CLOSE YOUR FRONT DOOR. DON'T BE AFRAID OF SEEING THE UNKNOWN.
So! let me get this straight, you wore a pair of dress gloves to do farm work for 3 years. You poor thing, I bet those gloves were wore down to the bone, you deserve a good pair of work gloves. So does Morgan. I'm so glad everything is working out for you.
Wow! Not that place sounds like my kind of store!! We have to drive a long way around here to find somewhere to buy chicks and farm stuff! I'd be in there every day, just looking at stuff and thinking of making and fixing things!
Do you have storm windows? I'm now remembering I've seen bloggers post about not having storm windows and getting some sort of kit from a box store – heavy duty plastic or somesuch that can be temporarily applied over the windows for winter.
I agree with the other posters…your strength and independence is showing through. Being alone there aren't many people to tell you except us chicken buddies…..but I am proud of you!! You should hear it often. You go girl!
It's amazing what I learn here! Thank you everyone for explaining about checking your deer.
Yup, thanks for the deer explanation—I thought it meant checking your Deere, as in Nothing runs like a Deere!
You go girl! I end up in stores where the guys can be somewhat patronizing. I just let them be and act sweet and roll my eyes back in my head the minute my back is turned. I'm almost certain their eyes are rolling as well, but it makes me feel better to do it.
I have a love/hate relationship with gloves. I have them to do various things, but end up never wearing 'em. As a result, I don't have the smoothest, softest hands, and during gardening season, the lily-whitest of hands either. Something about getting your hands dirty…it doesn't feel like work unless the hands are dirty!
Great gloves. I love my leather work gloves. Remember the feeling when you got your chore boots? Like that, only more so. Gotta have 'em.
Sounds like an ideal store! You will soon learn all about the various feeds you need. Don't forget the internet is a great tool to learn about nutrition for various animals.
What I hated way back when was the local feed store. There would always be 3-4 old men sitting in chairs and when I would walk in,all talking would stop and they would stare at me until I left. I soon found that I knew more about the feed I wanted mixed than the owner and he finally admitted that to me! Made me feel a little smug! Eventually it will all become easy for you….and them. I still need advice now and then on various hardware things. My sweet husband isn't much of a handyman!
Too cute about the gloves. I dont know how you manage to get by with out work gloves. Wow. lol.
We have a farm store called Tractor Supply. I love going in there sometimes. I dont farm but live in the country its a handy place to find odd things you cant find at Lowes or Walmart. I like to walk around to see what they have sometimes too.
I'm wondering how your gloves will work out…I'd be interested to know because I can't seem to find the right ones. I end up feeding the horses in my silly little dollar store knit gloves although dh bought me a pair at the hunting store recently. They are stiff and the fingers are too long. Maybe that's why that, although they are supposed to be ever-so-warm, the ends of my fingers ache in the cold when I wear them. Same thing as the cheapo ones but more cumbersome. And I still have the issue of catching the ends of the fingers in the snaps on the hay slow feeders. I guess I need warm, flexible, and close-fitting. Too bad it's an hour to a Tractor Supply…last time I was there I spent 15 minutes looking at gloves but didn't buy any. Maybe I should have…..
Love, love, love hardware stores and a hardware and feed store combined can make me delirious. If my husband is in a hurry, he knows better than to take me with him to Home Depot or Central Tractor. Oops, sorry, Tractor Supply.
But, the very best is our local hardware, Grimble's. The place has existed since time out of mind. Yes, it has wooden floors! Yes, it has the guy that disappears down that ladder and magically appears with the part you want. Plus advice for how it really won't work for what you want it for. And it has corks for bottles in all sizes, canning jars, mixing bowls, toy trains at Christmas (right in the store front window). If Hogsmeade had a hardware store, this would be it.
motto is "Grimble's has got it! and I must say I believe them.
The only downsides are, there are no misogynist men around the woodstove. I'm sure there are misogynist men there, there is just no woodstove. And it is so small it is hard to just browse. You sort of need some reason to be there or they look at you really strangely. Especially if you are a woman in the plumbing section, All By Yourself!
Jersey Mom, I feel your pain about the gloves. Suzanne's look magnificent. Work glove fingers are always too long for me, too. The closest things I have to work gloves are my kids Veggie Tale ones that they quickly outgrew many, many years ago. For what I use them for, the have lasted pretty well but I would hate to mend a fence in them. And on them, the fingers are a bit short.
You remind me of Ariel in "The Little Mermaid" movie, when she doesn't know what all the human things are, or what they're for. Giave me a smile this morning!
Yup,if you are going to do the job, you need the right equipment. A nice pair of work gloves is a good start. We used to live in a little town in MO with a store like yours. They would make sandwiches to order too, and the pig wormer was by the Twinkies.
I absolutely LOVE hardware stores. Like Suzanne I like to just wander through looking at all the connectors, screws, do-hickeys and such. I started thinking that someone INVENTED those. They needed something like that, thought it through and actually created some THING to meet their need… and the needs of others. They convinced a company to manufacture it and little stores everywhere that enough people would want it to give it precious shelf space. What a marvelous process of need, ingenuity and commerce a hardware store is!
A couple years ago I found leather mittens with warm layers on the inside, they are amazing for keeping your hands from freezing. I was surprised you can do most of the chores in them too. Lots warmer than gloves. And the big work gloves aren't that much easier to do things in. I found them online.
I grew up 1 block away from a "Mercantile" and I loved it. I can still recall the smell of the store (good) and going there after school to buy a candy bar. That was a big deal! The sweet older lady that ran the store helped teach me how to count back change by letting me get it out of the cash register and counting it back to her. I miss those days. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
JerseyMom, Can you use mittens instead some of the time?
I'm with Darlene…withdrawal after one day without a new post. But really, I worry something is wrong more than anything.
"…I walked up to the counter with the gloves and bought them.
I am so glad you've reached this point! Just plain all-around COMPETENCE at a wide variety of things (many of them so-called "man chores")is one of the things I value most about myself. You can already do so many great things–but I'm happy to see you developing new comfort zones. Congrats!
When it comes to winter work wear for the hands I have taken a liking to a kind of glove/mitten that has half fingers for each finger but also a mitten flap that covers all the fingers but folds back out of away when needed. The flap will be secured out of the way of the fingers by either a velcro tab or by a small magnet (I've had both kinds). I shop for this kind of stuff at http://www.gemplers.com. This way you can slop the hogs with warm hands but then get in a quick spell of knitting between bucket loads!
Those gloves sound cool! My trouble is using my camera outside when it's cold, but gloves like that would be perfect!
Those gloves look awesome! I bought myself some gloves this year, we have a new flock of hens and two roosters (long story) and I decided I needed gloves but I didn't look long enough apparently! I bought UNLINED deerskin gloves (they look like yours but no warm lining). I found out the first really cold day that they aren't warm at all when they get wet! I'll have to go back and look at the lined deerskin gloves. It's going down to the single digits tomorrow, I'm going to wish I had your nice warm gloves, I'm sure! By the way, your post actually brought tears to my eyes, it's about so much more than gloves… you are such an inspiration Suzanne.
I just love the gloves, the right choice i think.
I always go by the ayles with whatzahoozits, love to figure out what it is for, even though we do not live on a farm, we live in a village mainly surrounded by small agriculture, so we also have a little store to go along with this.

US Airways has been cutting costs hand-over-first in recent months and shedding loyal frequent flyers in a pattern that could be only be described as an exodus from the airline. Now, in addition to frequent flyers being at odds with the airline, pilots at US Airways are troubled with US Airways' decision to reduce the amount of fuel loaded onto aircraft and take retaliatory measures against long-haul captains who order additional fuel for their aircraft as allowed by the FAA. You can about this clash between US Airways management and the pilots in this post: 14/07/2008 – US Airways Reduces Fuel On Aircraft To Reduce Fuel Expenses!

Carl Garnett Extends Ginetta Winning Streak With Stunning Croft Treble
Carl Garnett has continued his incredible run of victories in the Millers Oils Ginetta GT4 SuperCup with another triple success at Croft this past weekend (10/11 October), making it a record-equalling eight consecutive Am class wins. Garnett was full of confidence heading into his home event on the calendar, with the York based racer having sensationally taken a clean sweep of wins in the previous two meetings at Oulton Park and Thruxton behind the wheel of his Telescope backed Ginetta G55. Friday's two free practice sessions took place in changeable weather conditions, which proved beneficial for qualifying the next morning. Rain began to fall as they started the session and worsened as time wore on, meaning posting a quick lap early was crucial. Garnett did exactly that to end the session with the second fastest lap time in the Am class, though a grid penalty for the provisional pole-sitter meant that he would in fact start the opening race of the weekend from the head of the class. Immediately showing great speed in tricky conditions, the 44 year old edged away from his class rivals in the early stages and impressively battled with, and overtook, drivers in the Pro and Pro Am classes. A faultless drive earned him a lights-to-flag class win by over 11 seconds. In the first of two races televised live on ITV4 on Sunday, Garnett saw contact on the opening lap drop him back to third in class. He fought back tremendously though and was into the class lead by the end of lap five, before going on to pull over three seconds clear for another victory. The reverse grid for race three put Garnett fourth in class at the start. A brilliant opening lap saw him rise to second, before the top four in class ran in close formation for a long spell. A wide moment for the leader late on opened the door for him to come through to complete his win hat-trick. That result means the Astrolite, Valet Pro and AC Database Services backed racer has equalled the all-time record for the most consecutive class wins in the GT4 SuperCup, and also moves him only 13 points shy of the championship lead heading into the final two meetings of the season. Carl Garnett: "What an amazing weekend! Oulton Park and Thruxton were great, but I never expected our winning run to continue, let alone take another hat-trick. The AK Motorsport team did a brilliant job with the car though and that put me in the position to enjoy the success. "We knew our pace was good from free practice and qualifying, but the team absolutely nailed the set-up for the mixed conditions in race one and it all built from there. It was far from easy though, with the contact in race two and then the reverse grid coming into the mix in the final race. "To equal the championship record for most consecutive class wins is incredible, as is the fact that I'm now right in the title battle. We were over 100 points behind after the second weekend, so to now have a shot at the gold with five races remaining is an exciting opportunity." The 2020 Millers Oils Ginetta GT4 SuperCup season now heads into its penultimate meeting of the season in two weeks' time with a trip to Snetterton in Norfolk (24/25 October).

The rappers that grow from concrete are usually the ones that tend to surprise you. Something about their roots make them hard to get rid of. Matt Allenn knows a little bit about that. Ask the Santa Ana emcee the ingredients to his recent success and he'll rattle off a list of life's bitter nutrients that gave him the strength to keep his bars up behind bars.
Up until last year, getting into trouble with the law on a variety of petty charges was a regular occurrence.
It was during one of his former stints in the pokey that his song "Messy," a woozy, trap-laced Lothario jam about a girl who has trouble keeping her X-rated exploits to herself, landed a placement in the Netflix movie #REALITYHIGH. Suddenly, the song took off and has since garnered over 330,000 plays on Spotify.
After serving several months in jail on drug charges, Allenn's now a free man, off probation and jumping head first into 2019 as a changed man.
Though he preferred to produce his album without many features, a consortium of Santa Ana's finest wordsmiths is never far behind. Friends and frequent collaborators Kevin Parx and C-Sharp make cameos on the new project produced by his OC producers Mr. Mota and KY who worked with engineer Beezy Mix to put the shine on Allenn's vocals, highlighting the cocky, gold grill swagger.
Part of Allenn's evolution and celebration of his new album is his stage performance. Taking the stage next week at Slidebar, he's excited to amp up his delivery atypical of most backpack rappers.
"I'm gonna be doing a live show with a full band so I'm looking forward to showing people what I can offer on stage as well," he says. Allenn also plans to perform a few new tunes from his next EP, Close to the Edge, out in February.
As much as he likes talking about his own music, part of Allenn's appeal on FLOURIISH is a message of helping to big-up other rappers in the scene where's from.
"Santa Ana's culture is getting more of a good vibe, there's more art and music in Downtown and that's where I record my music and it's only a matter of time before it goes mainstream," Allenn says, noting how OC-based rapper Yung Pinch has blown up over the last several years and cleared a path for a lot of talented rappers to get their share of the sunshine.
Matt Allenn performs with Kevin Parx, C-Sharp and K-Lien at Slidebar, 122 E. Commonwealth Ave. Fullerton (714) 871-2233, www.slidebarfullerton.com, Thurs. Jan. 31, 8 p.m., Free, 21+.
This is dope Matt! Keep grinding my boy!

On with the snow show!
Winter sports introductions – Day 5
#6 Thomas John Elford Oats
Published by Kirsty Gray at 8th February 2014
Heading to this year's Winter Olympics at the Russian coastal resort of Sochi, the expectations are running as high as they've ever been for the Australian contingent. Known more as the land of beaches and barbeques than snow and mountain ranges, a record size team of some sixty athletes are expected to bring back at least four medals and finish among the world's top fifteen nations. For a country that struggles to knock out two months of serious winter conditions on modest mountain ranges, the bar has been set a height more akin to Mont Blanc than Mount Kosciuszko.
When former Australian gymnast Kirstie Marshall took a leap of faith to become an aerial skier back in 1986, it could have been another feel-good snow story lumped in with the likes of English ski jumper Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards and the Jamaican Cool Runnings bobsled team. However, Marshall changed the story and with it, arguably, the future direction of Australian snow sports. Although an Olympic medal may not have eventuated for her, the country's first winter individual world championship victory did in 1997. And with it a belief that, given the right sports and training, Australia could become a serious player on the winter sports scene. In the subsequent sixteen years (to the end of the 2012/13 season), Australia won five Olympic gold medals, nine world championships and more than 200 World Cup medals.
Since Australia's Olympic Winter Institute (OWI) started its national snowboard program in 2002 – one of the first in the world – Australia has become a leader in the sport, producing two world champions in halfpipe (Holly Crawford and Nathan Johnstone), two-time World Cup and world champion Alex Pullin and, while not aligned with the OWI program, 2010 Winter Olympic halfpipe champion Torah Bright. All four will compete in Sochi with up-and-comers such as Jarryd Hughes and Belle Brockhoff (snowboard cross) and Scotty James (halfpipe and slopestyle).
James and Pullin may represent the youthful faces of Australian winter, but Lydia Lassila hopes to prove there's room for an older head in the team. Entering her fourth Winter Olympics in freestyle aerials, she has already seen and done it all, from the 'just glad to be here' Games of 2002, to the devastating knee injury as favourite in 2006, to her gold medal four years later. Sochi will be her last Games and, at 32, she wants to go out with a new trick – a quadruple twisting triple somersault that, as of the end of the 2012/13 season, hadn't been performed by a woman in competition.
Watch out for those Aussies – they beat us in the Ashes and who knows what they can do in the Winter Olympics stakes!!


APMonitor, or "Advanced Process Monitor" is optimization software for mixed-integer and differential algebraic equations. It is coupled with large-scale solvers for linear, quadratic, nonlinear, and mixed integer programming (LP, QP, NLP, MILP, MINLP). Modes of operation include data reconciliation, moving horizon estimation, real-time optimization, dynamic simulation, and nonlinear predictive control with solution capabilities for high-index differential and algebraic (DAE) equations. It is available as a MATLAB toolbox, a Python module, a Julia package, or from a web browser interface.
The APMonitor modeling language is a high-level abstraction of mathematical optimization problems. Values in the models are defined by Constants, Parameters, and Variables. The values are related to each other by Intermediates or Equations. Objective functions are defined to maximize or minimize certain values. Objects are built-in collections of values (constants, parameters, and variables) and relationships (intermediates, equations, and objective functions). Objects can build upon other objects with object-oriented relationships. APMonitor compiles a model to byte-code and performs model reduction based on analysis of the sparsity structure (incidence of variables in equations or objective function) of the model. For differential and algebraic equation systems, orthogonal collocation on finite elements is used to transcribe the problem into a purely algebraic system of equations.
APM.IMODE 1-3 modes are steady state options with all derivatives set equal to zero. Modes 4-6 are dynamic modes where the differential equations define how the variables change with time. Modes 7-9 are the same as 4-6 except the solution is performed with a sequential versus a simultaneous approach. Each mode for simulation, estimation, and optimization has a steady state and dynamic option. There are many additional application configuration options and parameter and variable options that can be set or retrieved in MATLAB or Python.
Differential and algebraic (DAE) models are a natural expression of systems that change with time. These dynamic systems may be as simple as a falling apple or as complex as biological metabolic pathways. DAE models are generally easy to write but often difficult to solve analytically. Entire university level courses are devoted to the solution of particular types of differential equations in analytic form. Solution of more complex systems is better handled through numeric approaches. There are many software packages that can solve DAE models for small and medium size problems. APMonitor is designed to solve large-scale problems. Additionally, other software packages often require the user to reformulate the equations into a restrictive form. APMonitor allows an open-equation format that is less restrictive.
APMonitor uses a simultaneous or sequential solution approach to solve the differential and algebraic equations. The differential equations are converted to algebraic equations and solved with large-scale sparse solvers. There are an assortment of solvers available with various user's licenses, ranging from free and open-source to commercial. APMonitor provides Nonlinear Programming Solvers (such as APOPT, BPOPT, IPOPT, MINOS, SNOPT) are accessed by switching APM.SOLVER. It provides the required information to the solvers by compiling the model to byte code with automatic differentiation for derivatives in sparse form.
Once the solution is complete, APMonitor writes the results in results.csv that is available for transfer from the apm_sol(s,a) function in MATLAB or Python. It also creates several web-interface pages that are accessed with apm_web(s,a). The web-interface includes a sensitivity analysis if APM.SENSITIVITY = 1 (ON).
When the system of equations does not converge, APMonitor produces a convergence report in infeasibilities.txt that can be retrieved with apm_get(s,a,'infeasibilities.txt'). There are other levels of debugging that help expose the steps that APMonitor is taking to analyze or solve the problem. Setting APM.DIAGLEVEL to higher levels (0-10) gives more output to the user. Setting APM.COLDSTART to 2 decomposes the problem into irreducible sets of variables and equations to identify infeasible equations or properly initialize a model.
A number of prebuilt asset models are available with the APMonitor software. The chemical processing modeling package includes reactors, distillation columns, and compressors necessary for industrial scale processes. A modeling language interface to MATLAB and Python extends the applicability for pre- and post-processing of the optimization solution results.

Time marches on, yet I can still feel the ache. We recently sold the house in St. Charles and I had to face that box. I peeked inside and then fled, leaving Shawn to physically move it for me. It is now tucked away on a shelf, patiently waiting.
Your brother continues to be the light of our lives. He lives life so joyfully and full of exuberance, it is a lesson to me. Remembering to focus on the best in life, despite the ache, and to cherish it fully.
I so cherish those brief moments, now seven years ago, with both of you in this world, they are some the most precious I hold in my heart. I also cherish this ache, because it means that I remember the joy that you gave to me.
Happy Birthday, Mary and Christopher. We love you so.
Truly believe that Great Grandma Sassaman is holding Christopher and Mary in her arms. She will watch over them forever. Love ,hugs and prayers .

Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company 'B' ist ein US-amerikanischer animierter Kurzfilm aus dem Jahr 1941.

Handlung
Hit Breath Harry ist ein gefragter Trompeter in einem Jazzclub. Mitten im Spiel erhält er plötzlich seine Einberufung in die Army. Er weigert sich zwar, ist jedoch kurze Zeit später Teil der Afro-Amerikanischen Kompanie B. Als Blasinstrumentenspieler wird ihm das Horn zugeteilt, mit dem er die gesamte Kompanie 5 Uhr früh wecken muss. Gleich beim ersten Wecken bekommt Harry die Wut der müden Soldaten zu spüren. Nachdem er mit verschiedenen Dingen beworfen wurde, fällt ihm seine Trompete buchstäblich in den Schoß. Er weckt die Soldaten nun mit jazzigem Swing und alle sind begeistert.

Der Swing begleitet sie zum Duschen, begleitet die Köche beim Kartoffelschälen und die Vorgesetzten beim Essen. Frauen kommen vorbei und verdrehen den Männern tanzend den Kopf. Swingend gehen die Männer schließlich abends in ihre Zelte und schlafen ein. Nur Harrys Silhouette ist noch zu sehen – er bläst seine Trompete noch bei Vollmond.

Produktion
Der Film kam am 1. September 1941 als Teil der Lantz-Trickfilmserie Cartune Classics in die Kinos. Der Titel nimmt Bezug auf den populären Jazztitel Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy von Hugh Prince und Don Raye, der im Film gesungen wird.

Auszeichnungen
Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company 'B' wurde 1942 für einen Oscar in der Kategorie "Bester animierter Kurzfilm" nominiert, konnte sich jedoch nicht gegen Der herzlose Retter durchsetzen.

Salespeople Need a Strategy for Selling to CEOs
Here's a three-part approach.
Frank V. Cespedes,
Jay Galeota,
Michael Wong
"Sell higher and call on the C-Suite" is probably the most common refrain in business development, and you can see why. As Marc Benioff, founder of Salesforce.com has noted, "When I look at [our] largest transactions…every transaction was done with the CEO [and] that's why we're selling more enterprise software than Oracle or SAP."
Despite the advantages, however, selling to executives can be challenging. According to a study, executives consider less than one-fifth of the meetings they have with salespeople to be valuable. To add to that, the C-suite has undergone dramatic changes over the past two decades. While the number of executives reporting to the CEO has doubled, only 35% of Fortune 500 and S&P 500 companies have COOs, who are responsible for integration across business units or functions. COOs once outnumbered CFOs in those firms, but not now.
Given those changes, sellers must understand and be competent in three different dimensions if they want to win over executive buyers.
Context. How you frame the issue, your data, and your point of view.
Content. How you support your argument, your insights, and your point of view.
Contact. How you work with and connect with key people in your organization and the buyer's firm.
Let's look at each dimension in more detail.
Context. When selling to executives, you should keep a few things in mind. First, they're concerned chiefly with business outcomes. During their evaluations, they'll typically ask themselves two questions: Is your product or service better than alternatives, and, equally important, can their people work with you and your organization? Because of this, it will take more than great analysis, a superior product, or a performance improvement to clinch a deal.
Second, they'll consider the needs and opinions of multiple constituencies. In the burgeoning area of data analytics, for example, some internal groups may be interested in software that provides new insights or productivity improvements, while IT will be concerned with ensuring stability and data security. To add to that, other stakeholders may be reluctant to adopt analytics that reveal shortcomings in their current procedures.
Third, senior executives must consider how a decision could affect various parts of their organizations. A change in sales or other customer-acquisition processes, for example, will affect multiple aspects of their business models: the types of orders their firms get, capacity planning, operations, delivery, post-sales requirements, and daily interactions among these groups. Conversely, an improvement in manufacturing or supply chain processes often affects sales tasks — and it's not an "improvement" if it hurts sales while optimizing another group's performance metrics. These cross-functional interdependencies are visible at senior levels but typically not lower in the organization.
So, when pitching executives, make sure to address those issues and demonstrate your ability to help manage the change.
Content. Time is a scarce resource at the C-level; it's your responsibility to make the most of this time by providing the content that executives appreciate the most. Most reps miss the mark. In one study, sellers gave themselves an aggregate grade of B for their meeting preparation, while executive buyers at their accounts provided sellers with a grade of F.
Here are some best practices:
Do your homework. Yes, scan an annual report's executive summary. But also review the 10-K of a publicly held firm, as well as the presentations and other information now typically available on the websites of public and private companies.
Know the people. Companies don't buy, people do. But how many salespeople take the time to go to LinkedIn, Facebook, or other sources that now provide information about the senior executives at their accounts?
Manage each minute. The buyer has privileges that the seller does not. It's up to you to prepare for the meeting and be ready with examples or case studies that demonstrate your awareness of the customer's business context. And then you must be willing to go with the flow if the customer has other topics in mind. It's about active listening: be better prepared and more granular in your questions.
Follow up. What happens after a C-level meeting is at least as important as what happens during the meeting. The onus is on you, not the buyer, to suggest constructive next steps.
Keep in mind that you're not the only one making demands on an executive's time. As Tom Magnuson, a CEO of a top-10 global hotel chain, told us: "I get hit on a lot by vendors and hardly ever buy." But if a vendor respects his time and presents valuable information in a clear and concise manner, Magnuson said he is more apt to listen.
Magnuson recalled a success story of a salesperson who walked up to him after a presentation:
He said if it wasn't a good time, he could leave a document with me. He pulled out an envelope and said that his team had spent nine months analyzing data on 1,000 Magnuson hotels and had ideas on how we could increase room rates and brand ratings for each hotel. This was presented in a couple of sentences with a simple graph on a bar napkin. Within weeks, we signed a chain-wide software agreement with that company.
The salesman was successful because he knew what Magnuson needed and provided insights about his hotels. "Don't just tell someone that 'I want your business.' That's like telling them you just want their money," Magnuson added. "You don't go to another person's house for dinner without a nice bottle of wine or some flowers."
Contact. A classic study found that across industries the top criterion senior executives use to judge the salespeople they meet is their ability to marshal the selling firm's resources. And since buyers now interact with your organization at multiple touchpoints, you must be able to purposefully orchestrate your firm's interactions and resources.
Changes in the C-suite make this more important. Since there are fewer general managers among their ranks, executives are finding it difficult to achieve cross-functional coordination in their firms. So they want to deal with sales reps who can navigate their own organizations and transfer those abilities to facilitate change at the executive's company.
Who among your current sales team has this ability? How many have the required business acumen and enterprise knowledge? What are you doing to develop this ability?
Once you've identified the right characteristics, it's likely that other senior executives will value the same ones.
For many firms, calling on the C-suite is now central to strategy execution and sales success. The same study that documented changes in the C-suite also found that, despite much rhetoric about decentralized empowerment in organizations, these changes have resulted in more control at the top, as C-suite executives exercise more decision-making influence over siloed specialists. But effective selling at this level is ultimately an organizational outcome — not just the result of inspired efforts in the field.

Tamannaah to Play Deaf and Mute Girl in Her Upcoming Hindi Film
Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor Step Out for a Romantic Luncheon in Mumbai, See Pics
Talking about the success of Baahubali, Tamannaah proudly said," 'Baahubali' is our own Indian Superhero."
Updated:April 14, 2017, 1:23 PM IST
A still of Tamannaah Bhatia.
Mumbai: Actress Tamannaah Bhatia, who is all geared up for the release of her upcoming magnum-opus Baahubali 2, reveled that her next is with Vashu Bhagnani where she plays a deaf and dumb's character.
"'Baahubali' helped me to realise that people want me to do different characters like now I have shot for a film in which I play a deaf and mute girl, gone completely sans make-up. It is a Hindi film produced by Vashu Bhagnani sir," Tamannaah said during an interview on Thursday.
"I am also collaborating with Prabhu (Prabhudeva) sir again, but in a completely different framework. So, it would be very interesting for audience, who have seen us before, to watch us in completely different characters and framework," added Tamannaah who was last seen with Prabhudeva and Sonu Sood in Tutak Tutak Tutiya.
Talking about the success of Baahubali, Tamannaah proudly said: "We have always looked upon Hollywood superheroes like Super-Man and Spider-man but 'Baahubali' is our own Indian Superhero and the connection people have made with this franchise is unprecedented."
Asked about the re-release of the first part into theatres, she said: "It's an honour for any actor to say that their movie is re-released after two years. I am happy that people are supporting the format of having the movie in two parts and that's what makes it interesting. This will encourage other movie makers to make films in parts."
While all other characters remain the same, Anushka Shetty will be seen in a new avatar in this movie. Asked about her experience of working with Anushka, Tamannaah said: "I have known her since the beginning of my career. She is the one who helped me in the beginning of my career. I wanted a costume designer and she helped me with it. She has actually enjoyed the five most peak years of her career in this film, which is a lot for a mainstream actress like her."
What was the most interesting part in shooting the biggest blockbuster of Indian cinema? Tamannaah said: "I did a fullfledged action in a movie for the first time in my career. I had a lot of fear of height but 'Baahubali' has helped me overcome it."
Baahubali 2 - The Conclusion that will finally answer the most awaited answer as to Why Kattapa Killed Baahubali will hit the screens on April 28.
The film is directed by S.S. Rajmouli with Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Anushka Shetty, Tamannaah, Ramya Krishnan, Nassar and Satyaraj in pivotal roles.

Volunteers honored with the Golden Rule Award
Those who spend their time giving to their community were honored this week by Volunteer Onslow, a program of the United Way of Onslow County.
"The Golden Rule Award is the local recognition for the volunteers of Onslow County," Craig Wagner, president of the United Way of Onslow County, said. "The spirit of volunteerism in this community is wonderful."
The awards were given out during a ceremony held Thursday morning to recognize the more than 5,000 volunteer hours that have saved local non-profit agencies more than $110,000, according to information from Daniel Freyburger, developmental director of the United Way.
"Onslow County citizens know how to take care of their own," he said.
In the past, recipients of the Golden Rule group award have spanned several different agencies. This year was no different.
The winner of the group award this year was the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, which spends thousands of hours every year providing classes, training and relief to military members in Onslow County.
The runner-up for the group award was the U.S. Coast Guard Special Mission Training Unit.
Chief Petty Officer Armena McNair said that the unit spent time volunteering with the Onslow Women's Center. The group did an art and crafts drive and raised $400 for art supplies for children housed at the center.
Members of the unit also picked up and built a playground for the center, provided periodic lawn care and donated food to the safe house.
"We're still looking for ways to help," McNair said.
The youth division winner was Zachary Cushine, with Michele McCauley as the runner-up. Out of the 10 adult nominees, Dr. Wade Turlington won the Golden Rule award with Annie Chivers coming in as runner-up.
Turlington, a doctor with the Caring Community Clinic, said he felt great about the award, one that was unexpected.
"I've been with the clinic for about 12 years. I just do what I like to do," he said.
There were two new divisions for the Golden Rule awards: the education award and the civic award. Cathy Burns of the Possumwood Acres Wildlife Sanctuary took home the education award, and Joe Yanessa of Crime Stoppers was awarded the civic award.
Yanessa said he was deeply appreciative of the personal recognition, but the award represented not only his efforts but the efforts of all those involved with Crime Stoppers.
"This award is really deserved by the 20 members of the Crime Stoppers board, the law enforcement officials we work with and the businesses and individuals that support the program," he said.
Overall, the main feeling in the room on Thursday was one of dedication to the Jacksonvilleand Onslow County communities.
"It's easy to lose track of what we do as a community," Wagner said. "Volunteers can transform an entire community.
"Together, we can make our community better."

Subject Overview:
February 2016 Topic
China's Foreign Policy: A Chinese Perspective
Professor Pan Zhongqi, School of International Relations and Public Affairs, Fudan University, Shanghai, China
With the historical rise of China, China's foreign policy and international behaviour have been hotly debated in both policy and academic circles. Key questions have been raised and approached generally from a western perspective. These include how China handles its border and maritime disputes with neighboring countries, how China's foreign policy principles and initiatives have been proposed and implemented, whether China will become a revisionist state or a status quo power in the dynamic regional and global orders, how China manages its relations with major powers in the world, and what role China will play in global governance. Various IR theoretical perspectives have attempted to provide answers to these and related questions, but there is little agreement among western analysts. This subject will provide an alternative Chinese perspective on these issues. It will begin with an exploration of the Chinese way of thinking, and distinguish it from western approaches. In addition to contending IR theories, the distinctive Chinese way of thinking will a fresh perspective that will help to decipher China's otherwise puzzling foreign policy. To better understand China's international engagement, this subject will examine key issues including China's foreign policymaking mechanism, new foreign policy initiatives such as One Belt and One Road, China's regional engagement, China's handling of land border and maritime disputes, China's relations with major powers such as the US, China's position towards international order, and China and global governance.

An Abortion Provider and a Pro-Life Lawyer Found Common Ground
We were on opposite sides of a Supreme Court case, but we found there was a lot on which we agreed.
By Andy Puzder
May 3, 2022 11:50 am ET
Wonder Land: The end of Roe would erode the foundations not just of abortion, but of an entire philosophy of American governance born 50 years ago with Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society." Image: Olivier Douliery/AFP via Getty Images
As I sat in my office during the first week of 1990, my assistant informed me that an unexpected caller wanted to speak with me. A week earlier I had an opinion piece in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch proposing that people on both sides of the abortion debate could work together on issues affecting women and children—without violating their core beliefs. As a start, I proposed support for legislation to aid impoverished women and their children.
B.J. Isaacson-Jones read the piece and wanted to know if I meant it. She was director of Reproductive Health Services, Missouri's largest abortion clinic. I was a pro-life lawyer. I later learned that she was as nervous about making the call as I was about taking it.

Q: How do you edit a Binary Mainframe file in the RecordEditor using a Cobol Copybook (pt1) How do you edit a Single-Record-type Binary Mainframe file in the RecordEditor using Cobol Copybook on a Windows or Linux PC.
Note: This is an attempt to split a very broad question into a series of simpler Question and Answers.

A: To Edit a File in the RecordEditor with a Cobol Copybook you must first load the copybook and then edit the file
Loading the Cobol Copybook into the RecordEditor
Select Record Layouts >>> Load Cobol Copybook menu options

On the Cobol Load Screen enter the Cobol Copybook and your Mainframe Data file.
The RecordEditor will read the file and try and work out what the file attributes
are.

The Important attributes

*

*Split Copybook: use No Split for a Single record type file

*Font (or Charset / encoding) You need to enter the appropriate encoding for the file.
Cp037 (or IBM037) is US-EBCDIC, CP273 (or (IBM273) is German EBCDIC.

*Cobol Dialect  Mainframe for IBM Mainframe cobol

*File Structure This corresponds RECFM attribute on the Mainframe.

*

*use Fixed Length Binary for RECFM=FB

*use Mainframe VB (rdw based) Binary for RECFM=VB

The RecordEditor will try  display the file using the current attributes on the Righthand side of the
screen. You can play around with attribute.

If you can not get the file display correctly, you could have the wrong Cobol Copybook.
You must use a Cobol Copybook that matches the data exactly, near enough is never good enough.

Viewing (Editting your file)
Once you have loaded you copybook, go to the Open files screen.
....

*

*Select you data file

*select you copybook in the Record Layout field

*Click on on Edit (The return key should also work).

Generating Java Code to Read the file.
To generate Java~JRecord Code to read the file select Generate >>> Generate Java~JRecord code for Cobol.
The first screen is basically the same as the Import Cobol Copybook screen. This answer has details on generating Java code

"Root-cause analysis -- not business as usual"
The culture is great at identifying (really and honestly) what the sticking points are. They discuss setbacks openly and almost welcome them as the inevitable price you pay to build better stuff. It's refreshing to work in a company so motivated to deal with their own issues -- and not have it just be lip-service, as in other places I have worked.
Keep up the candor, the self-reflection, and the listening to employees in the trenches. It'll pay dividends.
Nothing especially of concern to me.
Benefits and salary are very good and it's a flexible work environment. Leadership seems genuinely concerned.
Less collaborative than other places I've worked. Not the friendliest, in general. My first job in the tech sector, so maybe this is the norm?
Awkward location for a commute and transit benefit isn't very good compared to others in the Seattle area.

Q: Is there a list of the version output produced by different installations? I have a shell script that should detect an incompatible (too old) java installation.
Unfortunately, the output of java -version seems to be highly variable, so is there some website that has collected as many examples as possible so I can test my script against them?

A: I have a similar piece of functionality, i.e. detect an outdated version of Java. I found the same issue, i.e. java -version has too much variability, especially because my needs were at the major version granularity. I found that the System property java.vm.specification.version was actually what was needed (and maybe what you really need as well).
I solved it at runtime in my application, however, what was done here could easily be applied as a small stand-alone app.
final String javaVersion = System.getProperty("java.vm.specification.version");
final String[] versionInfo = StringUtils.split(javaVersion, ".");
if (Integer.parseInt(versionInfo[0]) == 1 && Integer.parseInt(versionInfo[1]) < 8) {
    logger.error("Java 1.8 required. Unable to run with Java " + javaVersion);
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Java 1.8 required. Runtime java version: " + javaVersion);
}

Read below on why Swell Cabarete Surf Camp is a great destination for you if you want to learn how to surf on your vacation.
You've worked hard all year and you've got limited vacation time.

"But i'm 40-50-60-70 years old, surely i am too old to learn surfing?"
The short answer: no, age is not a problem!
Well in fact being able to swim is not even a requirement at certain surf destinations around the world, but since we at Swell teach in water that is generally between waist and shoulder high we do want people to be able to swim before they start our learn to surf course.

At Swell we want to make sure that when you leave the Dominican Republic you can not only stand up on a surfboard, but continue your surfing career at your local beach in a safe and fun manner.
