Printer Reviews– The NX420 is a three-capacity MFP equipped to home use it can print, duplicate, and sweep. It can print photographs from a memory card (however can't output to one). It can output to a PC and in addition to email, opening your PC's default email customer and appending the sweep to another message. It has a multi-card peruser, however it does not have a port for a USB thumb drive. Content quality was at the low end of the scale for inkjet MFPs, sufficient for schoolwork and most inward business correspondence yet not for formal reports, continues, or anything requiring little sort.
Photographs were marginally below average for inkjets. Hues were for the most part pale, and prints were on the light side. Subtle element appeared well in dull regions, however ineffectively in brighter zones. A few pictures demonstrated dithering, hints of speck examples in strong territories. At a manageable distance the photographs may go as drugstore prints, yet were more tricky when seen close up.
Illustrations were commonplace of inkjets. A considerable lot of the illustrations demonstrated some banding, examples of slight light stripes in strong zones. Like the photographs, numerous design shown dithering. One splendid spot is that the NX420 did well in printing flimsy lines, something that numerous more costly printers experience difficulty with. The illustrations are alright for casual use, and possibly for PowerPoint freebees and so forth, contingent upon your target group and how meticulous you are.
You can't expect the world from a financial plan valued MFP, and the Epson Stylus NX420 misses the mark on both speed and yield quality. In any case, despite the fact that its yield and speed aren't exactly in the same class as the Canon MP280, which costs $30 less, it offers more components, for example, Wi-Fi network, an (as a matter of fact little) LCD screen, and the capacity to print from memory cards. Still, on the off chance that you can expand your financial plan by $50, the Epson Stylus NX625 will give you sizzling velocity (especially for report printing), a wealthier highlight set, and better photograph printing.


It was the 1970s, and Jeff Doughten was band director at Andrews High School, 35 miles north of Odessa. Doughten had his band marching to the football field prior to a game through what was referred to as the "band gate."
Three men came up to him, and Doughten wondered, as he said, if they had been sipping a few suds. One, who did the talking, asked if they could follow the band on into the stadium.
Doughten had explicit instructions from the principal and superintendent: No one through that gate but the band.
"Oh, come on, why can't we come on in?" the man said. "There's just three of us."
"I said, 'I'm sorry, I can't let anyone in,'" Doughten said. "The fella finally said, 'OK, I understand. Well, good luck to you.'"
That fella, Doughten later discovered, went by the name of George W. Bush, who apparently went on to do some big things. But, for that matter, so did Jeff Doughten.
Doughten, just a few weeks ago, was inducted into the Texas Bandmasters Association Hall of Fame in San Antonio. It's where the best in an often thankless profession are honored.
What a Greg Sherwood, a Charlie Johnston or a Larry Dippel were to high school football coaching in the area, Doughten was to high school bands.
"You can't argue with his record," said Fred Pankratz, director of bands at Canadian for 29 years. "He just had a great record and that goes back his personality and ability to get people on board."
Doughten always has been a traveling man and a lover of music, and both manifested themselves when he was young. At age 6 in 1948, he hitchhiked from Hollis, Okla., to where his parents moved in Borger. It's a long story, but he did, thanks to a concerned truck driver who took him most of the way.
In Oklahoma, Doughten grew up listening to his parents and neighbors play the fiddle, guitar and other instruments on weekend gatherings, followed by dominoes and an occasional fistfight.
He loved music, and in the fourth grade in Panhandle, James and Martha Doughten took the money they were savings to purchase electricity for their bunkhouse to buy their son an alto saxophone.
At Panhandle High School, Doughten fell under the spell of band director Gerald Smith and football coach Clint Williams. He marched in the band and played football.
His plan was to either be a band director or football coach. Then he got injured his senior year and that sort of sealed things.
"It was an easy choice from that point forward," he said. "That's what God intended for me to do."
Following graduation from West Texas State, where he met Wanda, wife of now 52 years, he embarked on a nomadic career that spanned 48 years.
"Been a lot of places," he said. "I've seen it all, I think."
Pampa Junior High, Altus, Okla., Southwestern Oklahoma State, Stratford, Pampa High School, Wayland Baptist, Lubbock Monterey, San Angelo Central, Andrews, Randall, Bowie Middle School, and, finally, for his last 13 years, Palo Duro.
Each stop he seemed to like better than the next.
There was the 1979 Tournament of Roses Parade, Repeat band trips to Hawaii, St. Louis, Atlanta, Florida, the USS Midway in San Diego. The trips are nearly endless.
He and Wanda's two adopted daughters - Elizabeth and Marci - were both all-state band oboe players nine years apart. Both direct bands - Marci at River Road, Elizabeth at a middle school in the Dallas area. They are two of more than 60 former students who would become band directors.
"Give your best," he said of his teaching philosophy. "Whatever your peak is, that's what I want you to reach. Climb the mountain as high as you can."
Because of his poor background, Doughten always had a heart for the less fortunate. That's why his 13 years at Palo Duro, from 2000-2013, might have been his most rewarding.
PD had won one sweepstakes award - a I in sightreading, marching and concert - in school history. Then Doughten's band won 10 in his 13 years. Twice, his PD bands went to Hawaii, once to San Diego.
"Most of those kids have terrible home problems, but the band was a place to enjoy each other, to learn," Doughten said. "I was always tough on discipline. I took no prisoners. I wasn't mean, but I was tough. We were going to do things they never dreamed of doing, but it was going to take discipline. It was my way or no way."
In other words, if it was the trumpet player disrupting by loudly flirting with the clarinetist, or the future 43rd President of the United States trying to go where he shouldn't, Jeff Doughten was not to be trifled with.
It added up to a Hall of Fame career.

AT&T Nano Sim In A Verizon iPhone 5 would be glad to know that the sixth-generation iPhone is GSM unlocked. If you don't know what this means, try using an AT&T Nano SIM card on a Verizon iPhone 5.
Today, we will be telling you are about how to activate your unlocked iPhone without the need to update to the latest iOS 6 firmware.
The latest iOS firmware for iPhone 5, 4S, 4 and 3GS is the iOS 6.0.1. The iOS 6.1 is out as well although its availability is limited to developers only.
Are you looking to unlock iPhone 4 running baseband version 4.11.08 or 4.12.01? Are you tired of seeing your iPhone as an expensive iPod Touch because you can't get service on that? Well, if you really want your iPhone 4 to get unlocked then continue reading this post.
This post would let you know of a great unlock option that iPhone users can opt for. We have been searching for the cheapest solutions that can be made available for our users, and we have finally cracked it.
Can we unlock iPhone 4 baseband 4.11.08? The answer is, YES. You can free your iPhone 4 from 'No service' by using our service.
For those who recently bought an unsubsidized iPhone 5 from the AT&T network may not know that their device can be unlocked free of cost.
iPhone 5 is the latest and 'the biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone'. It was released just a month ago and many Apple fan boys were disappointed as they were expecting a completely revamped iPhone.
There are so many network carriers that sell Apple's iPhone. Most of them provide the device on a contract basis, and the device is locked to the particular carrier selling it. AT&T is one of those carriers, and AT&T iPhone is the most popular device whose unlock is searched for by the owners.
AT&T declared the sixth-generation iPhone as their fastest selling handset of all time. The interesting news that un-folded after the release is that the iPhone 5, bought unsubsidized from AT&T carrier, can be unlocked free of cost.
iPhone 4s is one of the most demanded smartphone from Apple with a unique featured called 'Siri' a voice assistant which can be used to carry out certain tasks like sending a message, reading Emails, finding a restaurant and much more.
Though iPhone 4 is way old now and people are advancing towards iPhone 5, study shows that iPhone 4 is the most used device among other Apple products. So many iPhone 4 users are looking to unlock their devices on unofficial carriers or in short, they need to 'factory unlock' their iPhone 4.
The iPhone 5 is the latest handset that is being offered by Apple in the market. There has been fierce competition going on between the sixth-generation iPhone and its android rivals. Even Nokia is taking hits at the latest iOS device with their Windows 8 smartphone.
There are a lot of services that claim to do a factory unlock iPhone on the internet. You would be aware with many of them, and also disappointed that a large majority, if not all, fail to provide what they claim.
There are many iPhone users who have their iPhones locked to the AT&T carrier. Many solutions to unlock this carrier were seen in last few months but none of them was legitimate. It was inevitable that a genuine service would be available some day for AT&T locked iPhone users.

Your business card is your asset. It reflects the face of your business; it shows who you are and where you stand. It is an important thing which creates an impression of you and your business in the minds of the ones who see it. Hence, when it comes to business cards, your approach towards designing and printing it has to be measured. You might consider printing business cards on your own or you could also decide to approach a professional for this job. But whatever be your stance, you need to think about the utmost quality that you can avail at a price that is acceptable to you. If you are confident enough to do business card printing on your own then you can surely go for it. You could consider the following tips if you want to go for business card printing using a desktop printer.
You might want to create a business card of yours where you could incorporate an image with gradient colors. In such a scenario, you have to choose a glossy paper. It is only then that your business card after getting printed will look the way it is looking on the computer screen. Otherwise, you would feel disappointed seeing the vast difference in output if you do not take glossy paper for card printing.
Your business card may contain a background color of your choice. It depends upon your choice regarding how you like your business card to look like. In case your card has a background color, then you must choose paper with gaps between the cards. The presence of these gaps is important because these are the ones that will let you compensate the indistinctness of the feed mechanism of the printer paper. You should also allow a small distance towards the sides.
If you are doing your business card printing using an inkjet printer, mind you that these printers have the tendency to zoom the output after printing. As a result, you will see that each row of cards is getting slightly offset up or down corresponding to the previous one. In fact, as the sheet ends, the offset may even come up to 1 mm; this case would never happen when you use laser printer for business card printing.
For effective business card printing, you will have to maintain the print quality settings very carefully. You will also have to set your desired color options in the dialog box.
In most of the cases, stock cards are found to follow one another very closely, leaving no gap in between. In order to avoid any kind of hassle regarding printing on this kind of paper, you need to ensure that the text and the graphics are placed at least 3 mm off the sides. In that case your business card will not be spoiled in spite printer imprecision.
For successful business card printing using your printer, you must select paper that is compatible with your printer. For laser printers, papers with glossy coating can be killing.
You should also remember that if you choose to print on a monochrome laser printer, you need to avoid using too many colors in your design. If you use too many colors, then you would not be able to distinguish between some colors, for example blue and green.
One more important thing that you should never forget if you want good quality business card printing is the resolution of the card file which is to be printed. In case you incorporate any graphics on your business card, the resolution should be 300 dpi. If you compromise on the resolution, you would never get good quality print.
Above mentioned tips will help you to business card printing. Want to know more please visit here and get more tips.


Some ideas just refuse to go away: trickle-down economics, the bolo tie, couscous. Add to this the space elevator. If you're not familiar with the space elevator, perhaps you've heard it referred to by one of its other names: the bean stalk, the orbital tether, the nonsynchronous orbital skyhook. No? Well never mind, because unlike the bolo tie, it doesn't exist. And unlike the tie too, it probably never will — not in this lifetime at least. But don't tell Google that.
The space elevator has been back in the news lately because of tech-world buzz that Google X — the secret Skunk Works where the company that gave us great doodles, a good Web browser and so-so e-mail — has included it on its list of what-if technologies it's trying to help develop. That's cool news, and it made for cool quotes, with the New York Times referring dreamily to Google's "100 shoot-for-the-stars ideas" and the Irish Times predicting confidently that "the space elevator may well replace rockets in 50 years."
Maybe, but here's an important hint for aspiring futurists: "within 50 years" is almost always geek-speak for "Like, um, never?" Here's why.
The space elevator is exactly what its name says it is: a long cable anchored at one end to the ground and at the other end high in space, protruding from the planet like a spoke in a rotating orange. Just attach an elevator car, hit the up button, and you can climb easily into the sky. When you get to the orbital altitude you want, open the door (don't forget your helmet!) and hop out.
The idea is simple — indeed, so simple that it was first proposed in 1895, when Russian rocket scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, the philosopher father of such later greats as Robert Goddard and Sergei Korolyev, envisioned a giant tower linked to a "celestial castle" that would allow easy access to the then unreachable cosmos. Tsiolkovsky's first mistake was recommending a rigid, fixed tower instead of a cable, since it would have to support its considerable weight from below as opposed to simply being lowered from above. But that was just the beginning of the construction challenges.
In order for the castle, or orbital counterweight, to remain stationary relative to the rotating earth, it would have to be located 22,238 miles (35,790 km) in space — or about 10% of the distance to the moon — where the time it takes to complete a single orbit matches the 24 hours it takes the Earth to turn. In low Earth orbit, say 220 miles (355 km) up, where most human space travel takes place, a single circuit is completed in a much brisker 90 minutes.
Nanotubes are actually quite nifty in principle — molecular strands of carbon molecules arranged in hexagonal configurations that are made up of much more empty space than mass. This makes them incredibly strong and incredibly light, and they've already been manufactured in strands with a length-to-diameter ratio of 132 million to one. That means they're very, very long relative to their girth, so a 22,000-mile (35,400 km) cable should be a snap, right? Well, no. Remember, the girth we're talking about is on the molecular scale. The longest carbon-nanotube fiber ever manufactured is just 8 to 12 in. (20 to 30 cm) long. So we've still got a little knitting to do.
Then, of course, there's the physics. There are a whole lot of reasons Newton trumps Google on this one, but let's concentrate just on the Coriolis effect. You know what this is even if you don't, simply because you have an intuitive sense of how the physical world works. In the case of space elevators, the Coriolis effect dictates that an object higher up on the cable will move a whole lot faster than an object that's lower, even if they take exactly the same amount of time to complete a single rotation.
Why? Picture a phonograph album. (An album. A phonograph album. Sigh. Google it.) A standard album turns at about 33.3 revolutions per minute, or one revolution per 1.8 seconds. That's true of any point on the album, whether it's near the center or way out at the perimeter. Of course, out at the perimeter of the 16-in. (40 cm) diameter disk, the circumference is much larger — about 50 in. (127 cm) — than it is at a point near the center, where the diameter is, say, 3 in. (7.5 cm) and the circumference is 9.4 in. (24 cm). So the point on the edge must rotate much faster to cover that 50 in. in 1.8 seconds than the point near the center, which has to cover less than a fifth of the distance in the same time.
Want proof of the difference in speed? Imagine turning up the record's revolutions per minute to 45, which was the r.p.m. for a single. (A single. Never mind.) Now put a penny somewhere on the label near the center. The album will spin, but the penny won't budge. Move it out to the perimeter, however, and the increased speed will cause the penny to be flung away.
Neat, huh — but not so neat when it comes to space elevators. Since the lower regions of the cable are moving slower than the higher ones, a rising car will lag behind the orbiting anchor, causing a drag on the cable that could destabilize the entire assembly. For Newtonian reasons so complex they'd make your head hurt, you can dampen this effect by moving your orbital anchor higher, up to 62,000 miles (100,000 km) above the ground, which puts us a wee bit further still from the 11 in. (28 cm) of nanotube we've got so far.
Add to these a few other wrinkles — the requirement that you build your earth-based anchor somewhere on the equator and preferably at sea, so you can maneuver it out of the way of storms, as well as manipulate the cable so it can dodge incoming space debris. In addition, the orbiting anchor would have to be exceedingly heavy to remain stable in so high an orbit, which means building massive rockets that don't yet exist to launch it in the first place. In the alternative, say theorists, we could also capture an asteroid and simply haul it into place. (Um, O.K., pardner, let us know when you've got that baby lassoed.) Finally, warn international auditors, even if you could get a working space elevator built, the price tag would be an estimated $13.6 kazillion zillion — or €10.05 kazillion zillion at today's close.
There's nothing at all wrong with puzzling out how a space elevator could get built. The puzzling part is a critical stage of all invention and inspiration. Go just one or two centuries back and almost any complex technology we accept as routine today — the Internet, air travel, probes to the outer planets, flat-screen TV — was also the stuff of fabulists. But imagining is not the same as building, and puzzling is a long, long way from patenting. So go for it, Google, and best of luck. Just don't call us till you're done.

Style, as well as quality, is why City miss Kompany – Wednesady 2nd March by @EveryTeam_Mark
Much of Manchester City's stumbling attempts to put together a serious title challenge this year, after such a blistering start, have been put down to the absence of their captain Vincent Kompany. As well as an overall defensive structure that seems incapable of dealing with quick attacks (probably partly to do with playing a Yaya Touré whose legs seem to have jumped off a cliff in a two-man central midfield), the lack of the defender is most evident in the errors of his replacements.
The stability that he brings to the side though is not solely due to some obscure measure of quality, his stars on Football Manager say, but his style of play as well.
Manchester City are a bizarre case of having central defenders who all seem to below to the same class. As I wrote about last week, teams often have partnerships of differing types, and would certainly have variety within their back-ups too, whether by design or chance.
City, though, have four front-foot central defenders – that's to say ones who like stepping up to make a tackle or interception as opposed to dropping off a yard. For this reason, they're also probably more likely to go very bad if they're not on form, which seems to have been the case this season.
A back foot centre-back in bad form may not usher a striker away from the goal properly; a front foot defender in bad form may dive in and leave the striker in acres of space. If you have two front foot centre-backs, neither of whom like to drop off and sweep behind, then problems could occur if bad form hits.
The centre-back stylistic profiles show this similarity between City centre-backs quite well.
Apart from their propensity to dribble, Mangala and Demichelis are almost carbon copies of each other this season stylistically. Seriously, this level of similarity is uncanny. Part of it will be down to how the team wants to play, though you can only see when looking at defenders who differ in style a bit.
Otamendi does not look any more restrained (Mangala used again as a comparison).
Otamendi is still pretty similar. More prone to longer passes the main difference behind a huge difference in the amount of activity. To look at what team effects there probably are at City: we can see a high line, a fair amount of dribbles (compared to other centre-backs), a mid-level volume of passes.
Looking at these three profiles you see basically what you see on the pitch, a high line and defenders who are very involved in breaking up play by stepping up to make tackles. Kompany, finally, offers some variety (Mangala again used as comparison).
Vincent Kompany's activity is the obvious difference. It's about the same level as John Terry and Bournemouth's Steve Cook, centre-backs much more in a 'back foot' mould. But added to this is his 'high line' number. With the rest of the team's centre-backs at 80 or higher, a number of 69 probably indicates that, while he does defend fairly highly, it is to a noticeably lesser extent than his team-mates. (Less relevant to the pure defensive side is his higher tendency to take the ball out of defence than Mangala).
This isn't to say that Kompany is a sheltered, back foot player. He is prepared, or able, to play that way, which the other three centre-back at the clubs don't seem to be. It's this that City have missed, as well as his quality.

Q: Searching Polish districts in JSON I am looking for a map of polish 'powiaty', eng. 'county' or 'district' (i.e. second-level unit of local government and administration in Poland, equivalent to a county, district or prefecture) in JSON.
You can find shapefiles here: https://gis-support.pl/granice-administracyjne/. I need a JSON to be able to use it in PowerBI as a custom map.
And possibly if you have some ideas is there any online available repository which offers numerous JSON files for different countries to download?

A: There is an extract from Shapefiles to GeoJSON available:
on GitHub pages.

A: You might use overpass-turbo.eu to download that data directly as a GeoJSON, or you might save the data you linked as GeoJSON using QGIS.

UN-backed Canadian International Chaplaincy Association (CICA) has conferred a doctorate degree in divinity on Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and also appointed him a goodwill Ambassador for charity.
The prestigious ceremony was held on Monday in Washington D.C., USA.
CICA is a Canadian-based Christian organization accredited with the status of NGO Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council, (ECOSOC). The institution runs an International University and a Seminary.
Bushiri, together with his wife Prophetess Mary Bushiri, were honored for 'selfless dedication to the work of the Kingdom of God both inside and outside church', according to CICA representative His Excellency Dr. Devon Bannister.
"Bushiri, quite youthful, has also demonstrated high levels of vision and leadership in how he has grown his church in few years," said Bannister.
The couple was conferred on with an honorary doctorate degree in Divinity to each. Not only that.
The two also received UN-approved Ambassadorial titles being a Commander of the Most Distinguish Order of Special Envoy (CDSE) and an order of Minister Statesman Commander of the most Distinguished order of Kingdom Ambassadors (CDKA).
In light of the newly bestowed honours, Prophet Bushiri now has the right to use the title Ambassador before his name and the CDKA and OMS after his name according to the order of Ephesians 6:20 and from the Kingdom of God Constitution in accordance to 2 Corinthians 5:20.
CICA has awarded and recognised over 30 church leaders across and some of them include renowned Guyanese spiritual leader Babb and Ghanaian musician Sonnie Badu.
With the award, Bushiri has now been given access and backing to preach in any country across the world.
Bushiri hailed CICA for the recognition and also the entire USA family for hosting them.
He is now leaving US for South Korea as part of the on-going Global Prophetic Tour project.
Which one is important between being president and honours degrees that presidents and others usually receive. I never heard you complaining about it. Do not be jealous people of God.
If the men and women of God cannot be appreciated by human beings, God shall raise stones to appreciate them.

NEWFOUND ENTHUSIASM: The White House has announced support for early childhood STEM initiatives in a press release that states, "The years from birth to third grade are filled with play and active engagement with the environment...Research indicates that as early as infancy, young children start developing and testing hypotheses for how the world around them works."
Details on how the federal government will support early childhood STEM learning are still vague, but the press release did say that the White House, the Department of Education, the Department of Health and Human Services and Invest in US will collaborate on an event at the White House bringing together companies and stakeholders at the White House to focus on the work. The event will also help constituents identify organizations promoting STEM at the local level.
Organizations can apply to be part of the event and to submit relevant materials by sending their organization names, points of contact, emails, cities and states and specific details of your commitment to educationpolicy@who.eop.gov. Applications close Wednesday, March 23, 2016.

Home FEATURED Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury
2018 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition
It has the body of an SUV, but the rear end of a sedan. It's… unique.
More often than not, automakers throw out concepts as thinly veiled previews of cars arriving in the next year. There's a bit of that in the Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury concept, but the rest of it is a wild departure from the norm. It might not be for everyone (or most people), but its daring design deserves recognition.
The Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury concept debuted today at the Auto China show in Beijing. One quick look at the Ultimate Luxury concept's side profile is all you need to realize this isn't just another SUV. Instead of a traditional bulky SUV rear end, which would match the rest of the concept, Maybach grafted on the rear end of a sedan. The result is like nothing before it. It's weird as hell, but weirdness deserves its place in a concept car.
The interesting design bits don't end there. The grille is a throwback to the Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 super-coupe concept. The sunroof runs the length of the vehicle, but it's split into separate left and right pieces, like two piggy banks next to one another. The front air dam has a bunch of little Maybach logos in it. Some people claim the next-generation Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV will draw some of its inspiration from this car. Let's hope that's true, just with more usable cargo space, maybe.
The Maybach's exterior might be polarizing, but the interior is straight-up regal. The interior is covered in what appears to be the smoothest leather known to man. The seats carry a fine quilted pattern. Wood trim with embedded LED lighting swings from the dashboard all the way to the back seats and beyond. There are only four seats, the backs of which are adorned in rose gold like everyone's favorite iPhone. There's a freakin' tea set built into the long center console, and its tray is referred to as "Magic Wood."
Perhaps the only "normal" part of the interior is the dashboard, which packs a pair of 12.3-inch widescreen displays. That's an option on a wide variety of Mercedes-Benz sedans these days, and once you experience it, you'll wonder how you ever made do without it.
This car is so wild, I almost forgot to talk about the powertrain, which is also ridiculous, but not as much as its design. It relies on four electric motors — one at each wheel — that combine for a net 750 horsepower. Its 80-kWh battery provides an estimated range of more than 200 miles, and it can take advantage of the 350-kilowatt fast charging option that's slowly being added to current EV infrastructure worldwide. It can also be charged wirelessly, because of course it can.

Efforts to improve the Embarcadero Seawall recently received a financial boost with the help of California lawmakers.
Sponsored by the Port of San Francisco and co-authored by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and Assemblymember Phil Ting (D-San Francisco), Assembly Bill 2578 would let the city dedicate the school's share of tax increment to the port's infrastructure financing district and use it for shoreline improvements.
The bill would give the state the means to fund the Seawall Earthquake Safety Program and produce an estimated $55 million in the program's first decade and an estimate of $250 million during the program's lifetime.
Sea level rise and earthquakes are real threats to San Francisco's waterfront, Chiu said.
Port of Oakland officials this week said they don't expect much change in port operations when the newly formed Japanese carrier alliance, Ocean Network Express (ONE), launches April 1.
The new ONE alliance was formed in 2017 by container carriers MOL, NYK and K Line, all of which currently visit Oakland with eight weekly vessel services.
The port said that number isn't expected to change.
One of Oakland's biggest trading partners is Japan, especially for agricultural exports.
Clean air innovation and solutions were on the docket at a two-day Pacific Ports Clean Air Collaborative conference earlier this month.
Hosted by the Port of Los Angeles, the Commission for Environmental Cooperation and the US-China Green Ports and Vessels Initiative, the event brought supply chain stakeholders from all over the world who listen to panels on various topics, including controlling and curbing air emissions and incentivizing those practices as well as exploring new zero-emissions technologies.
After almost 26 years of service, the US Coast Guard Cutter Galveston Island (WPB 1349) was recently decommissioned in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The 110-foot Island Class patrol boat known as the "Pacific Prowler" has been involved in various law enforcement cases, safety and security enforcement patrols, presidential security operations and rescues at sea.

Q: change Twiml response message  I have created application and i am using twilio to make outbound calls. But, whenever i make call i have same XML document with me that has static Hello, your account is deleted. but this time i want to add parameters in it too. for example Hello, your account {accountnumber} is deleted.
My code is as follow :-
public void call()
{
    // Find your Account Sid and Token at twilio.com/console
    const string accountSid = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
    const string authToken = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";

    TwilioClient.Init(accountSid, authToken);
    try
    {

        var call = CallResource.Create(
                    method: Twilio.Http.HttpMethod.Get,
                    url: new Uri("https://automatecondominium.com/Services/Twilio/VoiceMessages/twiliomessage.xml"),
                    to: new Twilio.Types.PhoneNumber("+917018244303"),
                    from: new Twilio.Types.PhoneNumber("+15206197315")
                    );

    }
    catch (Exception)
    {

        throw;
    }

}

A: You should not be sending having large parameters as part of the URL.
You are having language, voice and message parameters as part of the URL. You should be generating those values as part of the code, they should not be coming as parameters. You should only have a parameter value based on which you can generate all these values and send in TwiML.
Consider following.
public void MakeCall()
{
    const string accountSid = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
    const string authToken = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
    TwilioClient.Init(accountSid, authToken);
    try
    {
        //Generate and store message data in some datastore and
        //Create and identifier to get that data later.
        // GenerateMessageData method does the same thing.
        var messageId = GenerateMessageData();

        //Pass the messageId as URL parameter.
        var call = CallResource.Create(
                    method: Twilio.Http.HttpMethod.Get,
                    url: new Uri("https://automatecondominium.com/twilio/twiml?p="+messageId),
                    to: new Twilio.Types.PhoneNumber("+917018244303"),
                    from: new Twilio.Types.PhoneNumber("+15206197315")
                    );

    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
         throw;
    }
}

private string GenerateMessageData()
    {
        var messageId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();

        var messageContent = "Some Message"; // This could be any message you want.
        var language = "Somelanguage"; //this could be any language you want.
        var voice = "SomeVoice"; // Male or Female whichever you want.
        var messageData = new MessageData {MessageId = messageId, Message =  messageContent, Language = language, Voice = voice };

        //Save messageData to database or some data store so that you can retrieve it later.

        return messageId;
    }

Following is the MessageData class.
public class MessageData
{
    public string MessageId {get;set;}
    public string Voice {get;set;}
    public string Language {get;set;}
    public string Message {get;set;}
}

Now I need to create a controller action to server request comint to twilio/twiml?p.
Consider following controller action method in my TwilioController class.
[Route("~/twiml/{p}")]
    [HttpPost]
    public IActionResult GetTwiml(string p)
    {
        //Get the messagedata from the datastore based on the messageId retrieved in request.
        var messageData = GetMessageData(p);
        //initializing Voice Response For creating XML
        var response = new VoiceResponse();

        // I have no idea why you have lot of comparison of Voice with string.empty and "0"
        // so I am not changing it.
        // I am just replacing the Voice, Language and Message variables
        //with the property values from messageDat object.
        if ((messageData.Voice != string.Empty && messageData.Voice != "0") && (messageData.Voice == "0"))
        {
            //Combining dynamic Message and selecting voice for reading message
            response.Say(messageData.Message, voice: messageData.Voice);
            var XML = new TwiMLResult(response.ToString());
            return XML;
        }
        if ((messageData.Voice != string.Empty && messageData.Voice != "0") && (messageData.Voice != string.Empty && messageData.Voice != "0"))
        {
            //Combining dynamic Message and selecting voice for reading message
            response.Say(messageData.Message, voice: messageData.Voice, language: messageData.Language);
            var XML = new TwiMLResult(response.ToString());
            return XML;
        }
        if ((messageData.Voice == string.Empty || messageData.Voice == "0") && (messageData.Voice == string.Empty || messageData.Voice == "0"))
        {
            //Combining dynamic Message and selecting voice for reading message
            response.Say(messageData.Message);
            var XML = new TwiMLResult(response.ToString());
            return XML;
        }
        return null;
    }

private MessageData GetMessageData(string messageId)
{
    MessageData messageData ;
    //retrieve message data based on the messageId and return;

    return messageData;
}

This way you can keep your URL shorter and still generate dynamic content for Voice Call.
In above code, MessageData class is there for example. You might have complete different scenario based on your requirements.


The Aichi E13A 'Jake' Navy Type 0 Reconnaissance Seaplane was the most important Japanese floatplane of the Second World War. It entered service just before the attack on Pearl Harbor and remained in use to the end of the war, operating from the cruisers and battleships of the Japanese fleet and from shore bases, normally in its intended role as a reconnaissance aircraft, but also on occasion as a staff transport or bomber.
The E13A began life as the E12A, a two seat twin-float reconnaissance seaplane designed in response to a Japanese Navy 12-Shi (1937) specification for an aircraft to replace the Kawanishi E7K2 three-seat seaplane. Aichi, Kawanishi and Nakajima were all asked to submit designs to satisfy this specification. The Kawanishi E12K never progressed beyond the design stage, but two prototypes each were constructed of the Aichi E12A and the Nakajima E12N.
Late in 1937 the Navy issued a second 12-Shi specification, this time for a three seat twin-float seaplane. Kawanishi decided to concentrate on this project, producing two prototypes of the E13K, while Aichi decided to produce a larger version of the E12A.
The prototypes E12A and E13A both made their maiden flights late in 1938. Aichi's own tests revealed that the E13A was the better aircraft, with its more powerful 1,060hp Mitsubishi Kinsei 43 engine more than making up for its extra weight. The Japanese Navy had also decided that it preferred the three engine designs, and so work on the two-seat E12A and E12N was suspended. During 1940 the Aichi E13A was tested against the Kawanishi E13K by Naval pilots, and in December 1940 the Aichi E13A was declared the winner of the contest and ordered into production as the Navy Type 0 Reconnaissance Seaplane Model 1 (soon changed to Model 11).
Aichi would produce a total of 133 E13A1s between 1940 and 1942. Another 48 were produced by the 11th Naval Air Arsenal at Hiro (Dai-Juichi Kaigun Kokusho), but the biggest producer of the E13A1 would be the Kyushu Hikoki K.K. (Watanabe Tekkosho (Ironworks) until 1943). Between 1942 and the end of the Second World War they produced 1,237 E13A1s, bringing total production to 1,418.
The first E13A1s were used to equip Japanese cruisers and seaplane tenders operating off the coast of China in 1941, and their combat debut was a series of bombing raids on the Canton-Hankow railway. The E13A joined the 8th Cruiser Division in time to take part in the attack on Pearl Harbor. As production stepped up in 1942 the E13A spread throughout the Japanese Navy, and could soon be found wherever the Navy was operating.
At Midway the E13A1 was carried on the Haruna, Chikuma and Tone in Vice Admiral Nagumo's Carrier Striking Force. The Tone's No.4 search plane, piloted by Petty Officer First Class Yoji Amari, actually discovered the American fleet on the morning of 4 June, but for some reason failed to report the presence of the aircraft carriers. This lack of clarity helped to produce the confusion on the Japanese carriers that ended a few hours later with three of the four Japanese fleet carriers burning.
By the middle of 1943 there may have been as many at 250 E13As at sea on Japanese warships, while more were operating from shore bases. The E13A's lack of self sealing fuel tanks and crew armour made it very vulnerable when American fighter aircraft were encountered, but despite this it remained in use until the end of the war. Where enemy fighters were not expected the E13A was sometimes used as a bomber and to attack shipping. Towards the end of the war many of the remaining aircraft were used in kamikaze attacks.
During 1944 two new versions of the E13A1 appeared. The only external differences with the E13A1 was the addition of two more pairs of inward sloping float bracing struts, and the use of a propeller spinner. Both new versions could use exhaust flame dampers for night operations, and could carry a flexible 20mm cannon firing down through the fuselage for use against American PT boats. The E13A1a also carried improved radio equipment.
The E13A1b Model 11B was given air-to-surface radar, carrying the antennae on the wing leading edge and the sides of the rear fuselage.


Also available in 4 serialized volumes.
First this book is available in two different formats. It is available as a complete series, single volume omnibus edition. It is also available as 4 volumes in a serialized format. I have read through both, but first a slight aside. I absolutely loved The Priest and the Peaches, it was a phenomenal read. In many ways it reminded me of Madeleine L'Engle's Austin family books. And I was searching to see if there were more books about the peaches. I discovered that this story begins about 5 months after the events of that book, and the Peach children, and father Tim Sullivan is present also. But I approached this series with much caution. My family, specifically my mother had a history of playing with the occult. I have spent a long time trying to get my heart, heart, and spirit straight because of events in my youth, teens and early twenties. That being said I picked up volume 1 with the intent that if I did not like where the book was going I could stop. I devoured the first volume and the whole series. It was hard to put down.
"The exorcism prayers used in this narrative were taken out of context from the Catholic Rite of Exorcism. They are only a few of the many prayers in the Rite. Their use in this book was for literary purposes only and nothing else."
In this book we have not only the faith of the Peaches, their family friend Father Jim, but we are also introduced to Charlie and Eleanor Winters, and also Father John Tierney, who was just finishing up studies to become an exorcist. The characters in this book are wonderfully written.
The story captures a reality and battle many would like to pretend does not exist today. It is a work of fiction, but in reality truth is often stranger than fiction and having read about some of the work of Father Gabriele Amorth, I believe this book does a great job of presenting the spiritual battle, without glorifying evil, or in any way making it attractive. The pace of this novel is excellent. And if you read the serialized or combined edition it comes in at under 250 pages. This story is not written intended as fearmongering. It is written, at least from how I interpret it, with the intent of telling a story about the power of believe, about the communion of the saints, about realities seen and unseen, and about family and friends. The two priests in this novel are the type of priests we have at our parish. Mane of faith, men devoted to God, and to living for others. Men of faith. And they faith helps others become stronger in their own faith.
Even though this story is fictional, it has deepened my prayer life again. My prayers for our priests, for my family, for my friends and especially for my children. This book was an excellent read and I recommend it. But be warned it is a book that will challenge and change you!
