Where can I find out more info on what exactly I will be able to see on the RD2 with my AEM Infinity. I have read everything on the tunerview site but it doesn't really say too much.
Each ECU is going to have different items supported depending on what they output. We generally support all standard items (RPM, ECT, IAT, Ignition, TPS, MAP, Wideband, VSS, etc) and will integrate more specialized items into future updates.
Any chance traction control level is in there? Or slip target I should say.
Nothing proprietary. This was initial support for Infinity.


According to Florida case law as of the date of this article, in extreme cases, a judge can deny a partition if the judge determines that equity will not result if the remedy of partition is granted.
Is An Oral Agreement Not To Partition Florida Real Estate Enforceable?
In 1940, Chase Condrey, Jr., and his wife, Frieda, moved onto land owned by his parents, Chase and Mamie Condrey. Chase Senior had a nice tract of land in Orange County, and there was a house on the back of the property that his son and daughter-in-law could call their home.
Junior and Frieda accepted the invitation, and moved into the property. Parents Chase and Mamie continued to live in the house at the front of the property.
Sometime after, Chase Junior decided to expand the dwelling. At his own expense, and with his dad's okay, he converted the single family home into a duplex. Then he and Frieda acted as landlords to the new rental unit while continuing to live in the other half of the duplex.
Time passed. 1948 was a bad year for the Condreys. Both Mom and Dad Condrey were in accidents that year that left them disabled. Junior and Frieda moved up into their house at the front of the property to help them. They rented out their home in the duplex.
The rents helped the son and daughter-in-law pay for their parents' living expenses while they were incapacitated.
The four parties alleged that for some time they discussed what should be done with their interests in the property. The son had invested several thousand dollars in the property and the parents were unable to contribute towards such expenses or even much towards everyday living expenses.
The four lived together in the parents' home until 1953. During this time, Junior and Frieda collected rent on both units in the duplex, and used that rent money to pay all the household expenses as well as paying for the parents' clothing and care. Junior and Frieda also paid the property taxes and property insurance as well as covered all the needed repairs and improvements.
In December 1953, things got ugly. Son and daughter-in-law moved off the land. They collected no more rent on the duplex, except for $112.00 which was placed into escrow. They did not cover any more of their parents' expenses.
A few years prior, back in September 1949, the four had hired a lawyer regarding the land. There was a joint concern about Junior's sisters. They weren't involved in the daily care of their parents, but legally they might assert claims against the land and its improvements (like the duplex) if Senior and Mamie should die and the intestacy statutes were applied.
The lawyer's answer was to have the parents convey the land to the lawyer and his wife. They turned around and conveyed the property to both plaintiffs and both defendants as tenants in common "with right of survivorship". There was no language in this deed discussing any agreement for support, and the deed was silent regarding any express provision against partitioning the land. The family did not sign any separate written agreement covering either matter.
After the father and son had their "falling out", Junior and Frieda filed a partition lawsuit. The parents counter-sued, asking the court to order Junior and Frieda to provide lifetime support pursuant to an oral agreement that had as its consideration the 1949 deal which created the tenancy in common with right of survivorship.
At trial, the partition was denied. The case was appealed, with Junior and Fried arguing that: (1) as tenants in common they are entitled to partition as a matter of right; (2) the evidence did not establish an oral agreement not to partition the lands involved; and (3) an oral agreement not to partition was unenforceable under the Statute of Frauds; it had to be in writing to be enforceable.
The appeals court found that while partition is a matter of right as a general rule, there are legal exceptions. The right to partition may be waived. It can also be blocked by an agreement not to partition. The agreement can be express or implied.
Any agreement to bar any partition of the land, or one which unduly or unreasonably restricts partition, is generally held to be unenforceable as a matter of law. Public policy demands it: these kinds of agreements are unreasonable restraints on the use and enjoyment of property.
However, an agreement not to partition during the life of any of the tenants was held not to be for an unreasonable time.
There was evidence of the oral agreement not to partition the lands because while there was no money paid by plaintiffs as consideration for the deed of conveyance, there was evidence that the deed was executed in consideration of a verbal agreement where everyone was to live in the one house as a family; the rents from the duplex were to provide the necessary food, clothing and care for the defendants as long as either of them lived; and that none of family members were ever evicted from the premises.
As for the Statute of Frauds (Florida Statute 725.01), it does not apply because there had been part performance by the parents not to partition the tract when they entered into the conveyance to Junior and Frieda of an interest in the land.
The appellate found that in this situation, there were two elderly citizens, neither completely whole in physical health nor able to support themselves. It was not conceivable they intended to put themselves in position to be forced from their home, or to surrender the right to live there, under a partition action.
It was found that the court had the equitable right to refuse to partition the land because if the partition was granted, it would have been an unfair result. Accordingly, a court of equity has the right in its discretion to refuse to grant it.
Had it been Dad and Mom who had breached their agreement with their kids, and not Junior and Frieda who breached the deal, the appeals court opined that the partition would have been allowed, pointing to Forehand v. Peacock.

The Best iPhone 6 Cases Under $50

BlackBerry Passport Goes on Sale Today with a Price Tag...
Apple Sells 10 Million Units Over The Weekend As Sales Go Through The Roof
by The Engineer 5 years ago 5 years ago
Apple made a gamble when it launched the larger iPhones recently, why? Because we all know Apple doesn't like to change and this was a huge change after all. However, the change sure did pay off with the sales going over 10 million for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus over the weekend and that is a new 3-day record for a new model. The two models by Apple went on sale in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Puerto Rico, Singapore, UK, Japan and USA on Friday.
This Friday the models will be launched in 20 more countries and shall be launched worldwide by the end of year. In words of the Apple's CEO, Tim Cook; 'Sales for iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus exceeded our expectations for the launch weekend, and we couldn't be happier. We would like to thank all of our customers for making this our best launch ever, shattering all previous sell-through records by a large margin. While our team managed the manufacturing ramp better than ever before, we could have sold many more iPhones with greater supply and we are working hard to fill orders as quickly as possible.'
People have welcomed both the models with open arms and particularly iPhone 6 Plus, we say this because in a number of regions iPhone 6 Plus had been sold out before lunchtime on Friday. These models were unveiled at the Flint Center 9th September. With the larger than 4-inch screen size, Apple's latest models have entered the same league as HTC One M8, Samsung Galaxy Note Edge and S5. Apple has imparted the A8 chip that comes with 2nd gen. 64 bit desktop class architecture that has enhanced the performance and power efficiency.
Apple has also tweaked the iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, while the users residing in US will be able to pay for the goods via Apple Pay. iOS 8 has been pre-installed on these models. Although there is much debate going on how Apple has launched technology and specs that were in the market since 2012, the sales show that a lot of people are still going to buy it!

You don't always need a large, heavy vacuum cleaner when you're just trying to vacuum in tight spaces or where a big, bulky vacuum just won't go. In fact, except for very large carpeted areas, a lighter-weight, smaller industrial HEPA vacuum cleaners are usually the way to go. The other thing you need is multi-surface capability. A vacuum that only does a good job on carpet only gets you a small distance towards completing all your vacuuming tasks.
It might be tempting to just use a home vacuum for the small work, but the truth is you can't use just any small canister vacuum to replace industrial HEPA vacuum cleaners. You need one that will stand the test of time, has the features you need, but won't break the bank.
So a residential vacuum is not a good choice because of durability issues. You also won't find a manufacturer that will give you a good warranty when you want to use their home vacuum for commercial work. The answer is to get an industrial vacuum cleaner that will do the job, has the durability to last through years of abuse, and can be had for a value price.
Sanitaire is a well-respected maker of industrial HEPA vacuum cleaners manufactures about 90% of them in the USA. Now a part of the Electrolux vacuum family of small appliances, Sanitaire has been innovating since 1972. They make a great line of HEPA-ready commercial canister vacuums and one of the most popular is their SC3683A Detail Cleaning Commercial Vacuum. See if this great Sanitaire model is the perfect solution for your commercial vacuuming needs!
It's popular because of its features, durability, multi-surface capability, and great value. The Sanitaire SC3683A Detail Industrial HEPA Vacuum's lightweight and features a number of great tools to make cleaning easier. It's HEPA-ready which means there is an optional filter that can be installed to retain the highest percentage of allergens. It also has a wide cleaning width to make quick work of even the toughest cleaning jobs. Take a look at all of the great features of this canister vacuum cleaner.
Equipped with the optional HEPA filter the sealed system will retain 99.97 percent of pollens, household dust, dust mites and other allergens as small as 0.3 microns in size.
CRI green label approved as meeting or exceeding stringent standards for soil removal, dust containment and carpet appearance retention.
The Sanitaire SC3683A weighs in at 14 lbs. and is less than 20 inches long.
Part of the renowned Electrolux family of small appliances.
What do you think of this Sanitaire vacuum? Which industrial or commercial vacuum cleaner are you planning to buy? Please leave your comment below.
I appreciate your taking the time to read this article. I hope that it helps you pick one of the best industrial HEPA vacuum cleaners for your job!

architecture to blueprint a plan of action to achieve its current and future objectives in an efficient and effective manner greatly increases its chances for success. The DMV will need to implement the results from the enterprise architecture team strategic planning effort. Furthermore, a detailed business plan needs to be developed and presented to management and stakeholders for their approval. Finally, all requirements identified need to be improved or refined to meet the present and future goals of the DMV. With that in mind, utilizing an enterprise architecture program has been justified because it will give the DMV a proven method to reach its objectives efficiently.

Lisa Sullivan Reviews Scotty McCreery's NC State Fair Concert and his Sophmore Album
This post has been republished with permission from the author
Scotty McCreery "See You Tonight" – An Album and Concert Review
Posted by Lisa A. Sullivan on October 23, 2013
Image above is from the 947 QDR "See You Tonight" CD Release Party prior to Scotty's NC State Fair concert on October 21st. Copyright 2013. Lisa Sullivan. All Rights Reserved.
Let me get this part straight first – I am a fan. That I am. I make no bones about it. In fact, I've written about why before and so I won't repeat it again here. Feel free to visit the post describing as much, if you're interested.
That said, this post comes from an objective perspective because I'm not only a fan of Scotty's, I'm also a fan of music, country music mostly, but GOOD music always and here's the thing, Scotty's newest release – See You Tonight – is good. As a matter of fact, it's more than good. It's straight up solid countryfied goodness.
See You Tonight is refreshing. It's full of toe-tapping and tear-jerking tracks. It's a nice mix of both, actually.
And let me state this too before I go any further – I cannot think of any record I have ever owned that I did not fast forward (or skip) a song or two on…until now. I listen to every single track on See You Tonight. Every single one. Even though the title track is what's currently on radio and I know every lyric and the melody by heart, I still don't skip that song. I let it play right on through… and sing to the top of my lungs at the same time too, but don't tell anybody.
From the get-up-out-of-your-seat first song on the record, "Now", to the cutesieness of songs like "Blue Jean Baby" and "I Don't Wanna Be Your Friend" to the poignant "The Dash" to the purely perfect sounds of "Carolina Moon" and the summer fun of "Suntan" (bonus track on the Walmart Deluxe edition and one Scotty performed all summer long in his Weekend Roadtrip Tour), this album moves you. Whether you tap your toes or shed a tear or just plain ole smile because the song does that to you, it's truly a moving experience from one song to the next and that fact that Scotty himself co-wrote five songs on the album is not lost either. Actually, my second favorite track, "Something More" is one written by him (my very favorite is "Carolina Moon" in case you're wondering).
"My one and only criticism is that I could have easily sat through a concert of JUST the entire See You Tonight album performed LIVE song for song."Recently, Scotty performed quite a few selections at his North Carolina State Fair concert dates and being that I'm a Triangle-ite and Garner gal, of course I had the opportunity to attend both nights; enjoyed it each time. My one and only criticism is that I could have easily sat through a concert of JUST the entire See You Tonight album performed LIVE song for song. Honestly. I didn't need to hear covers, though I do like his versions of George Strait's "Check Yes or No", Tim McGraw's "I Like It. I Love It", or Montgomery Gentry's "Gone". Rather, I would've preferred as many new songs as he was willing to perform mixed in with some of my faves from Clear As Day (his platinum-selling debut album). The whole album of See You Tonight? Sure! Why not?!
What I will say though is I did enjoy the tribute to the greats like Johnny Cash and Elvis. With those he brought his influences to the forefront while quite possibly bringing "new ears" to the music as well. Nice job!
Scotty's new show is really good overall. It's not too flashy, but just the right amount of FUN to keep his audience entertained while staying true to his roots. I like that.
Whether you are a Scotty McCreery fan or just a fan of good country music, pick up See You Tonight. There's a reason the critics have given it (and him) such rave reviews (as have some of his colleagues in the biz too – did you see Kellie Pickler's shout out on Twitter? Check it.).
Go get you some See You Tonight. I promise. You won't be sorry. In fact, you'll be ready to purchase a ticket to his concert playing at a city near you!
Kudos, Scotty! You've outdone yourself with this one and made we McCreerians (and Garnerites) very proud. Keep it up!

Scotty McCreery's Sophomore Album "See You Tonight" Debuts At No.1 On The Billboard Country Albums Chart
Country star Scotty McCreery delivers his second consecutive No. 1 Billboard debut with his latest album, See You Tonight (Mercury Nashville / 19 / Interscope Records). With more than 52,000 units sold the first week, McCreery lands at the top of the Billboard Country Albums chart and No. 6 on the Top 200.
The sophomore album from the platinum-selling artist, produced by Mark Bright and Frank Rogers, features five songs co-written by McCreery, including the current single and title track, "See You Tonight."
"It's just incredible that this is my second album to debut at No. 1 on country Billboard," shared McCreery. "I owe so much to the fans who got me here as well as everyone in Nashville who has supported me along the way."
McCreery began his Oct. 15 release week in New York City with a CD release party for fans at Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square followed by "See You Tonight" performances on NBC's "TODAY Show" (view HERE) and Fox News' "Fox & Friends" (view HERE; bonus online segment HERE – performance of "Now" at 5:15 mark). The artist the L.A. Times now calls "a bona-fide country star," then headed south to the home of country music to appear on Nashville's Grand Ole Opry and included an in-store signing at the Grand Ole Opry House.
McCreery continued his fan-centric release events with two nights at the N.C. State Fair near his hometown in Raleigh, N.C. where he played for nearly 9,000 concert-goers over the course of two nights at Dorton Arena. Each day also included a special meet & greet release party for over 800 fans.
See You Tonight is being met with glowing reviews from the Chicago Tribune saying "Scotty delivers with refreshing introspection … I can't recall enjoying a 'Country' genre album as much as Scotty McCreery's 'See You Tonight,'" the Associated Press stating "McCreery combines the traditional aspects of heroes Josh Turner and Randy Travis with contemporary touches brought in by producer Frank Rogers (Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker). The result shows McCreery moving into a style of his own that should win him fans beyond the "Idol" fan base," Rolling Stone affirming McCreery will "strike a chord on either side of the Mason-Dixon," and PEOPLE noting that McCreery is "proving once again that America got it right, the 2011 Idol champ delivers one of the fall's best country albums."
Next up for McCreery is a performance on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" this Friday, Oct. 25 (11:30 p.m. ET / 10:30 CT) before continuing on with tour dates in Ohio and Tenn.
McCreery offers three versions of See You Tonight: the standard 13-track version, a special 16-track deluxe edition, available anywhere you buy music, and an exclusive 18-track deluxe available only at Wal-Mart and www.walmart.com.

Scotty McCreery Talks Junk Foods, Dance Moves + New Season of 'American Idol' During ToC Twitter Takeover
By Billy Dukes
Fans learned some new things about Scotty McCreery on Tuesday (Oct. 22). The singer took over Taste of Country's Twitter page for 30 minutes before a show at the N.C. State Fair, just to answer fan questions. His responses were as entertaining as the questions.
Some highlights: McCreery admits he owns six guitars and more pairs of boots than he can count. He can't rap, but he'd love to collaborate with singer-turned-rapper (sort of) Dolly Parton. The 'See You Tonight' singer plans on moving to Nashville "when the time is right," and he's excited to watch Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. judge 'American Idol' this year.
However, he doesn't miss the show. "Enjoyed it while I was there, but glad I'm off doing my own thing now," he responded to @CharlyyBrown. But had he been cut during Season 10 auditions, he says he definitely would have tried out again.
"Cause that would have given me a challenge, and I love a challenge," he told @hawkscool8.
Below are a few more highlights from the conversation. #ScottyOnToc was trending in the U.S. during McCreery's 30-minute-long chat. Sales figures from the debut week for his new 'See You Tonight' album should be made available on Wednesday. Look for McCreery to appear on 'The Tonight Show' with Jay Leno on Friday.

Perhaps it was the fact that I was driving through North Carolina when I heard the well-placed references to his home state on "Carolina Moon" or maybe it was just the Hip-Hop influenced arrangements. But for whatever the reason, I can't recall enjoying a 'Country' genre album as much as Scotty McCreery's "See You Tonight."
With lyrics delivered in a somehow simultaneously raspy and silky Southern drawl, McCreery raises emotions and expectations throughout the life of the album.
With a drum pattern reminiscent of Barry White's classic "Never Gonna Give You Up," (just slow the bpms down) "The Dash" stands out as a masterpiece demonstrating how poignant song-writing, voice inflection and a simple but layered arrangement can build crescendo and pull on a heart-string. By letting the track breathe and the instrumentation build, album producer Frank Rogers and Scotty hit a home run with universal appeal. It is hard to overstate how perfectly arranged and moving this track is.
Rogers shines as much as the lead vocalist with creative bridges and breakdowns on almost every song with some tracks featuring the kind of call-and-response favored in R&B and Gospel and others like "See You Tonight" showcasing double-ups on lyrics that recall dub versions and DJ handiwork from rap's 1980s. And by the way, the outro on this one is unnecessarily nice nuance.
On 'Feelin It" the inner "MC" in McCreery comes out, with "Pop tops poppin/Flip flops floppin/Drop tops droppin down," out the gate. He wouldn't win any freestyle contests but his exercise in flow works well, setting you up for some trademark double-ups that lead into the chorus. It's another example of Rogers and McCreery doing what they want on a track.
"Seven Billion people in the world but it feels like two," on the album's title track, "See You Tonight" has to be one of the romantic lyrics of the year and the airy "Feel Good Summer Song" gives us one of the most bitter-sweet, "But now you're gone/Can't hear another feel good summer song/The sunshine only lights up what is wrong/I should just give in and sing along/And laugh like we used to/The tide is high/ The sky is blue/ But how can I get over you/When every station is playing a feel good summer song?"
Relationship twists and turns are a specialty and consistent theme of the album - whether the frustrations of being limited to a platonic interaction on "I Don't Wanna Be Your Friend," or "Forget To Forget You" 's pathetic but authentic portrayal of the self-talk one goes through when trying to move on – Scotty delivers with refreshing introspection, vulnerable yet witty. And yes, the nice touch of another incredible instrumental outro drives the message home.
If 'See You Tonight' is the metric, the meteoric career of 2011's American Idol continues its ascent.
Highly recommended for Autumn driving…

Former Symantec CEO Michael Brown is stepping into the Defense Innovation Unit's top role, the agency announced Sept. 24.
Brown's appointment concludes a seven-month search after former managing director Raj Shah stepped down in February, and comes weeks after the agency changed its name from Defense Innovation Unit Experimental (DIUx) in August.
So far, DIU has awarded 81 prototyping contracts, 13 of which are being used by military members. Brown intends to build on that progress.
"My background complements the strong team that has already accomplished great things in the last two years," said Brown, who was Symantec's CEO and chairman from 2014 to 2016, in a statement announcing his appointment.
He takes over for Navy Capt. Sean Heritage, who led DIU on an acting basis after the resignation of Raj Shah. Heritage takes on the role of DIU Navy Lead.

When I started my communications internship, I knew that I would witness amazing things. Make-A-Wish has the reputation of making dreams come true, and I knew that being a part of this here in Hawaii would touch my soul.
I also knew that I would be handling social media under my supervisor's guidance and that such responsibility might mean I could go on wishes, but I never knew how wholesomely good it would feel to witness a wish until I covered Camron's wish to be a marine biologist.
Camron's wish was unique and wise beyond her age. At 15, she wished to visit Hawaii and tour the University of Hawaii at Manoa's Marine Biology program. As a cancer warrior, many days enduring treatment were made just a little easier at the thought of focusing on her future. And in those days of darkness, it was dreams of one day working as a marine biologist that gave her courage.
For me, days leading up to her wish were fueled with both excitement and nervousness. I knew that it was going to be life-changing for Camron after hearing what UH Manoa had been planning for her, and I wanted to make sure I captured everything, not just for us, but for her. I wanted her and our whole community to see how special she is and how important a wish come true is for all involved.
On the day of her wish, we rushed over to UH Manoa to find rows of people holding signs and smiling. My eyes widened and my heart burst at how many people turned out to greet her. People all over the lawn and sidewalk buzzed about Camron before even meeting her. Students, athletes, and staff of UH Manoa were all compelled to come after hearing her story.
As cars drove by, we all perked up and wondered "Is that her?" We couldn't keep still! Finally, she had arrived and the roar of cheers was reminiscent of a sports game. The air filled with joy and fervor. Blushing and smiling, she came of the bus and received a beautiful oli, Hawaiian chant. Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman and Vice Chancellor Dr. Lori Ideta then surprised her with an honorary certificate of acceptance into the Marine Biology program!
Her reaction was priceless, and I was lucky to have experienced – and captured – that moment.
Doing social media for wishes like this may sound like fun to most people. But it is so much more than fun. It was surreal. Being there with her and witnessing every smile, tear of joy, gleam in her eye, made me feel so lucky. Who am I to get to see something this magical? And how can I ever capture something so wonderfully good with my little Android and Instagram? It doesn't seem to do it justice.
Then, I understood. That is the power of a wish. A wish empowers more than just the wish child. It strengthens the family, who bonds over these life-affirming experiences; it inspires the community, who unites over the gift of hope; and it inspires me. I want to work harder to make uplifting moments like these happen for all of our wish keiki. I hope to capture these moments to authentically share with all of you just how powerful a wish truly is.


New Year is right around the corner and you must be thinking of resolutions to kick start the New Year. The most common resolutions people make are about fitness. People always come up with excuses and lay down the resolutions they make, which is the reason why they fail to be fit.
People dream of getting into shape and imagine how they look when they become fit, but never care or work on making that dream come true. By now it must be scores of times that most of you people have given up on your fitness regimens even after planning it in the best way.
One has to know that in order to achieve something there is a dire need to be determined to achieve it. Unless and until you are determined it is impossible to complete the task at hand.
If you are determined enough to achieve something there won't be any need for a schedule or a chart on how to do and what to do. Your determination itself will drive you in the right direction.
An unhealthy lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits always contribute to unhealthy living. In order to survive in a healthy environment in a healthy lifestyle, there is a much need to include fitness regimen. Diet alone cannot help you get into shape.
A proper physical workout along with proper diet would help you a great deal in curving your body. You no need to hit the gym hard to get into shape. You can try some fitness regimens by simply sitting at home and curve your body.
Let us see what are those five fitness regimens to do at home are.
"Yoga" is the biggest asset that we have received from our ancestors. It is an ancient way of working out the body. There are large collections of asanas in yoga that are very effective and will help you shape your body.
In order to do yoga, you do not need any sort of exercise equipment. All you need to have is a yoga mat and a good open space to perform yoga. The best time to perform yoga is early morning.
As the air will be pure, doing breathing exercises in the morning in the open air would be very beneficial both fitness wise and health wise. With the help of yoga, you can bend and stretch each and every corner of the body.
The twists and stretches can energize, strength your limbs, and few asanas will help to improve the blood flow in the body. You can also add some meditation session at the end of your yoga session to relax your mind along with your body.
If you are a newcomer to yoga then make sure to learn the basics of yoga perfectly and then start doing at home. You can find wonderful tutorials on yoga and power yoga, which you can try at home.
With every passing day add one new yoga asana and also improve the time limit of each asana day-by-day. You can see a new you if you perform yoga picture perfectly in just a few months.
Yoga is kind of smooth going fitness regimen, but if it is not your types and if you are looking for a higher intensity kind of workout routine to build and tone your muscles then try weight training with Kettlebell at home.
There are many intense workout routines that yield good results, but Kettlebell is one such workout routine that helps to burn more calories per minute compared to other intense workout routines. Choose the right weight that you are capable and comfortable with handling.
Don't do an intense workout with Kettlebell on the first day itself. Go with simple movements. Choose the best moves that are simple, but yet effective. Kettlebell swings are one such simple move that will help you strengthen abdominal muscles. Don't put much pressure or stress on your back or spine. Do the moves gently and slowly so as to avoid any complications.
You would have seen Belly dancing in many movies and TV shows. It is not just a beautiful dance to look at, but also yields fantastic results when done perfectly. You can join your partner in belly dancing and can enjoy every step of belly dancing.
This belly dancing is suitable for all body types. This is one of the enjoyable fitness workouts that will leave you with body aches as if you have ran for miles the other day. With this belly dancing, you can move the muscles stretch the body in the best way possible.
Zumba is a type of dance form that was found in 2001. There are millions of people who do regular Zumba and it has been a global fitness mantra for many people. It is a combination of entertainment and culture, which has gone viral all over the world.
There are more than 14 million individuals who are doing Zumba dancing as a fitness regimen. There are many Zumba centers and many people rush there to attend Zumba classes to learn Zumba dancing and shake the leg in Zumba style.
You can also perform Zumba dance at home. Just learn the best Zumba dance styles through the internet or by attending the classes and do it at home.
It is yet another fitness regimen activity that you can do at home. The X-Box fun games work effectively as there are lots of moves involved in them where you need to pay attention to your bodily movements. This fitness regimen will help to improve coordination and balance and thus reducing the chances of injuring.
Final word is that there are of course lots of effective fitness regimens that will help to shape in and make one fit, but the lacking is the people to do them. Don't ever find excuses to skip the fitness regimen. Instead, find the excuse to prepare a tightly-packed workout schedule with which you can rock on.

(4) Insurance loss or damage appraisal--Any activity performed for purposes of valuing damages, or estimating the quantity, value, or extent of loss of property. Appraisal activities performed prior to damage or loss, such as the appraisal of jewelry for scheduling on a homeowners insurance policy, are not considered loss or damage appraisal.
(5) Insurance inspection--Any activity performed to evaluate risks to property, to survey or value property in connection with the furnishing of insurance coverage, or any other similar activity.
(6) Insurance investigation--Any activity performed to evaluate an individual's eligibility or qualifications for insurance coverage, or for the payment of benefits, or any other similar activity. For example, the assembly or evaluation of information for the purpose of determining whether to issue a life insurance policy to a specific individual would be considered an insurance investigation.
(7) Insurance or annuity actuarial analysis or research--Any activity performed in connection with the calculation of rates for a policy of insurance or annuity rates, reserves, refunds, dividends, insurance benefits, or other similar activities.
(8) Insurance claims adjustment or claims processing--Any activities to supervise, handle, investigate, pay, settle, or adjust claims or losses.
(9) Insurance loss prevention service--Any activities performed in an effort to identify, analyze, evaluate, control, anticipate and/or eliminate the occurrence of accidents, losses, or damage. Examples include: survey recommendations, training programs, consultations, analysis of accident causes, and industrial hygiene and health services.
(10) Insurance carrier--Every type of insurer engaged in the business of insurance that is licensed or operates under or is required to be licensed or to operate under the provisions of the Insurance Code.
(B) advertises, solicits business, or holds himself or herself out to the public as an adjuster of claims for loss or damage under any policy of insurance covering real or personal property.
(12) Self-insured plan--A plan whereby an employer maintains funds for providing employee benefits rather than transferring risk by purchasing insurance from an insurance carrier. This plan is not considered a policy of insurance for sales tax purposes.
(13) Third-party administrator--A person hired by an employer to administer the provisions of the employer's self-insured plan.
<?Pub Caret -2> (b) Taxable services. Insurance services defined in subsection (a) of this section performed on behalf of an insurance carrier, its insured, its policyholders, or others pertaining to a policy or policies of insurance for monetary fees, dues, or other consideration are taxable. These services performed pursuant to a self-insured plan or for a third-party administrator handling distribution of funds under a self-insured plan are not taxable.
(6) effective January 1, 2018, services performed on behalf of a certified public accountancy firm by an owner of the firm or a member of the firm's affiliated group, if less than one percent of the owner's or member's total revenue in the prior calendar year is from services in this state that would otherwise constitute taxable insurance services, as described in subsection (b) of this section.
(d) Doing business. Insurance services will be subject to taxation in Texas if the individual, entity, or property which is the object of the service is in Texas and the company for which the services are performed is either an insurance carrier as that term is defined in subsection (a)(10) of this section, or if not an insurance carrier, is doing business in Texas.
(e) Fees and premiums. Insurance premiums and any other form of compensation subject to gross administrative or service fees taxes under the Insurance Code are subject to tax hereunder if paid in connection with the performance of an insurance service. Insurance premiums subject to gross premiums taxes under the Insurance Code are not subject to sales tax.
(f) Not insurance related. Where an insurance service is performed as a part of a nontaxable service and the primary purpose for purchasing the nontaxable service is not insurance related, no part of the fee or charge is taxable. For example, the charge for an appraisal required by a lender as a condition of extending credit is not taxable as an insurance service because the primary purpose in obtaining the service is financing the loan. The fact that the appraisal may also be used as the basis for establishing minimum property insurance required by the lender as a condition of financing does not render the service taxable as an insurance service.
(g) Responsibilities of persons providing insurance services. Persons providing insurance services must obtain a tax permit and collect tax on the entire sales price of their services. The presumption is that all services are taxable unless the service provider obtains an exemption certificate from a customer claiming an exemption. For example, a third-party administrator may issue an exemption certificate for charges for claim adjustment activities done pursuant to a self-insured plan.
(1) Providers of insurance service may issue a resale certificate in lieu of tax to suppliers of tangible personal property only if care, custody, and control of the property will be transferred to the service provider's client. For example, an insurance service provider purchases magnetic tape to transfer the results of actuarial research to service provider's client. The tape is transferred to the client and the client owns and uses the tape to review the results of the actuarial research. The insurance service provider may purchase the tape tax free by issuing a resale certificate. Tax is due on the total amount charged the customer, including amounts for the tape and for the services.
(2) A resale certificate may be issued for a service if the buyer intends to transfer the service as an integral part of taxable services. A service will be considered an integral part of a taxable service if the service purchased is essential to the performance of the taxable service and without which the taxable service could not be rendered.
(3) A resale certificate may be issued for a taxable service if the buyer intends to incorporate the service into tangible personal property which will be resold. If the entire service is not incorporated into the tangible personal property, it will be presumed the service is subject to tax and the service will only be exempt to the extent the buyer can establish the portion of the service actually incorporated into the tangible personal property. If the buyer does not intend to incorporate the entire service into the tangible personal property, no resale certificate may be issued, but credit may be claimed at the time of sale of the tangible personal property to the extent the service was actually incorporated into the tangible personal property.
(C) the performance of the unrelated service is distinct and identifiable. Examples of an unrelated service which may be excluded from the tax base include activities as third-party administrators, appraisals for reasons other than loss or damage, or doctor's fees.
(2) Where nontaxable unrelated services and taxable services are sold or purchased for a single charge and the portion relating to taxable services represents more than 5.0% of the total charge, the total charge is presumed to be taxable. The presumption may be overcome by the insurance service provider at the time the transaction occurs by separately stating to the customer a reasonable charge for the taxable services. However, if the charge for the taxable portion of the services is not separately stated at the time of the transaction, the service provider or the purchaser may later establish for the comptroller, through documentary evidence, the percentage of the total charge that relates to nontaxable unrelated services. The insurance service provider's books must support the apportionment between exempt and nonexempt activities based on the cost of providing the service or on a comparison to the normal charge for each service if provided alone. If the charge for exempt services is unreasonable when the overall transaction is reviewed considering the cost of providing the service or a comparable charge made in the industry for each service, the comptroller will adjust the charges and assess additional tax, penalty, and interest on the taxable services.
(3) Charges for services or expenses directly related to and incurred while providing the taxable service are taxable and may not be separated for the purpose of excluding these charges from the tax base. Examples would be charges for meals, telephone calls, hotel rooms, or airplane tickets.
(j) Service benefit location--multistate customer.
(1) To the extent an insurance service is used to support a separate, identifiable segment of a customer's business (other than general administration or operation of the business) the service is presumed to be used at the location where that part of the business is conducted.
(2) If that part of the business is conducted at locations both within and outside the state, the service is not taxable to the extent it is used outside Texas. A multistate customer may use any reasonable method for allocation which is supported by business records.

Changing Tack for That Social Impact
Ten years, two funds and the first close of its third fund, impact investment firm Lok Capital is all set to change tack as it continues to bet on ventures that have a social impact.
Lok will focus on three sectors only – financial services, agriculture and healthcare. It has dropped education and renewable energy from the list of sectors it will invest in because it believes that it is difficult to build sustainable businesses in these two sectors while still catering to the bottom of the pyramid. Apart from financial services, where it will continue to do early-stage investing, Lok will invest in growth-stage ventures in agriculture and healthcare.
Lok has raised about Rs. 270 crore ($40.5 million) of a proposed Rs. 650 crore ($100 million) third fund. It hopes to raise the remaining money in the next 12-18 months and plans to invest the third fund over five years. The first fund, launched in 2006, was $22 million and the second $64 million. The first fund was mainly invested in the financial services sector, especially in micro-finance ventures. That was the time micro-finance institutions were taking off and Lok was among the early investors in the space, as it wanted to have a tangible impact and it also addressed the needs of the economically deprived.

Q: laravel separate Login Errors when we use laravel after enter email and password and when our email or password pr both of them are wrong, the laravel tell us just one message for all   probably situations , i just want to separate the errors , e.g your password is wrong or your email not found or we cannot find this user etc.
i just customize the auth.php file in lang folder and set this :
'failed' => 'Login Failed!!',

i want to add more condition for my login errors
please help me to do this task
thanks for your helping :)

A: Not a good idea to do it separately in terms of protecting the privacy of the users, because the general error message doesn't categorically inform the potentially malicious person or bot that "You found the right email, now all you have to guess is the password".

A: The simple way is adding exists:users validation to the validateLogin method of AuthenticatesUsers trait by overriding it on Login Controller:
// app\Http\Controllers\Auth\LoginController.php

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

protected function validateLogin(Request $request)
{
    $request->validate([
        $this->username() => 'required|string|exists:users',
        'password' => 'required|string',
    ]);
}

It will check if the entered username (by default email) exists on users table or not.

A: It not a good idea to separate both as it will let others know which section or input they entered wrong.
You can add on the message of login failed!!! but dont let the user know which part they entered wrongly.

Mendip & Bristol Ochre Mining
Earth Colours by Marie Clarke, Neville Gregory and Alan Gray
Earth Colours provides an historical record of ochre mining and the use of ochre on Mendip from the Roman times until the mid 20th century.
Neville concentrated on the technical and historical aspects of the industry and Marie looked at what the impact of ochre mining was on the towns, villages and people – her anecdotes of characters and life of the times give a human aspect to this book and some unexpected insights – not least of which being lies, theft and murder!
Tony Jarratt reviewed this book and stated that it will put an entirely different emphasis on mining on Mendip whereas it was thought that the majority of mining was for lead the balance will now be restored with half the mining being for lead and the other half being for ochre.
Alan Gray sourced the photographs and redrew all the maps and diagrams and wrote part of Chapter 12 which brings the research from the 1980's to 2011.
Other factors –
This book was researched during the 1970's and was not published. Unfortunately Marie passed away and during 2007 I was contacted by Josyanne Clarke (Marie's daughter) who wished to publish the book as a tribute to her mother.
The book is the same size as the Swildon's and Wookey books so it is a must buy.
Statistics – 292 pages long, hardback in full colour.

In the weeks leading up to his death, Tony Jarratt very generously donated his remaining stock of the fourth edition of "Mendip Underground" and Herbert Balch's classic "Mendip - Its Swallet Caves and Rock Shelters" to the Mendip Cave Registry and Archive. It was Tony's wish that the books be sold by the MCRA to raise funds for the publication of a fifth edition of "Mendip Underground". The MCRA will fulfil Tony's wish in the next 2 to 3 years and will dedicate the new book to both Tony and Dave Irwin, his co-author for the third and fourth editions.
The sale price for both books has been fixed at £5 each. The two books can be bought together (while stocks last) for a discounted price of £9. The books will be on sale at many future caving events or can be obtained through the post from Tony Boycott at 14 Walton Rise, Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol, BS9 3EW (Tel: 0117 950 7336 Email: tony.boycott [at] btopenworld.com).

Now, a peek into secretive Nobel selection process
Friday March 30, 2012 06:53:11 PM, Sourabh Gupta, IANS
New Delhi: The Nobel prize-awarding institutions, known for their secrecy, are making public the process of nomination and selection of this year's laureates.
Details such as the number of nominations received and how the laureates will be chosen over the coming months for prizes in physics, medicine, chemistry, literature, peace and economic sciences are being posted on nobelprize.org, a website run by the Nobel Media.
"Yes, the prize-awarding institutions have started to publish nomination information to meet the great interest in the Nobel prizes," Merci Olsson, marketing and communications director of the Nobel Media AB in Stockholm, told IANS on e-mail.
According to the website, for the 2012 peace prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has received 231 valid nominations of 231 candidates, of which 43 are organisations. Last year, 247 candidates were nominated. For the Literature prize, the Swedish Academy has received 288 valid nominations and only 46 of them are first-time nominees.
The unprecedented revelations come as the committee tackles public criticism over its choice of Nobel laureates in the last few years, especially for the peace prize.
Asked if the names of nominees were also being revealed since some news reports had carried names (such as of Bradley Manning, the American soldier who allegedly passed on classified information to Wikileaks), Olsson said: "If there (are) names of nominees circulating, they cannot be confirmed nor denied as this information is confidential."
"Regarding nominations, only information about the number of nominations is made public. The names of the nominees are confidential for 50 years after the nomination," she said.
The 50-year rule is over for the Peace prize. On the website, one can find the nominations database from the year 1901 to 1956, including details of Mahatma Gandhi's nomination in 1948.
Some weeks back, the Nobel Foundation (under which the prize- awarding institutions fall) had to justify its choice of peace prize laureates to the Stockholm County Administrative Board. This was to counter criticism made by Norwegian jurist Fredrik S. Heffermehl in his book, "Nobels Fredspris: Visionen Som Forsvann' (The Nobel Peace Prize: The Vision that Vanished)".
In a letter to the board, he wrote: "The Norwegian prize awarding institution ignores the will and Nobel's intentions with the prize."
In October last year, British writer Tim Parks, in his blog on the website of "The New York Review of Books", had questioned the Swedish Academy's decision to make Swedish poet Tomas Transtromer a Nobel laureate. Consequently, the president of the Nobel Committee for Literature, Per Wästberg, gave this comment: "We go for an individual's life work regardless of nation, gender, religion. We could, if need be, give it to Portugal or the US five times in a row, or to essayists, historians, children's books writers."
