I think it might take longer than expected for the Internet of Things and connected homes to become mainstream.
Perhaps the biggest trend in consumer electronics this year is that anything that can be connected, will be connected. Everywhere you looked at this year's International CES show, you saw some other device for your home or your business that is now going to be available with a sensor, a small amount of processing, and connectivity—typically either via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Most people are calling this the Internet of Things (IoT), though companies like Cisco and Qualcomm prefer the "Internet of Everything," and Intel prefers to call it "intelligence everywhere." But whatever you call it, the move towards connected devices seems inevitable.
But my guess is that it will take a lot longer for most of these technologies to become mainstream than backers expect and that there will be more problems and roadblocks along the way than we can foresee. After all, talk about the "smart house" and "home automation" goes back at least 40 years to when the X10 protocol was first developed. But this time it does seem like both the technology and the industry are aligned to make connected products a reality.
In many respects, it's the emergence of new processor technology and new standards that makes this generation of connected devices possible. Thanks to the continuing progression of chip-making technology, a manufacturer can now add a processor with a surprising amount of processing power that is small, uses relatively little power, and comes at a relatively small cost. The same concept has brought down the price of sensors, aided by the huge volume of sensors now going into things like smartphones. Similar technologies are making connectivity—through LTE, Wi-Fi, and especially the Bluetooth Smart (originally Bluetooth Low Energy)—equally easy to add to a design. It's all pretty amazing, and you can see the results in all sorts of connected devices.
The amount of processing power the devices need depends on what you're trying to build. Technologies like Arduino and Raspberry Pi show how easy it is for someone with moderate skills to create custom hardware, typically using simple processors. Now, more and more chipmakers are creating chips really targeted at this market; many based on the ARM instruction set. These chips are typically less powerful than the application processors that go in phones but still pack more processing power than a PC had 20 years ago and run on a fraction of the power. Not wanting to miss out on the market, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich has pushed a small chip known as Quark and a development system known as Galileo, and then at CES this year, introduced an even smaller button-sized module named Curie, due to be delivered at the end of the year.
In his keynote, Krzanich showed a variety of "intelligence everywhere" projects, from door locks to robotics and drones, and talked about how 2015 was the beginning of "a new technology wave" like we haven't seen for 20 years.
In his CES keynote, Samsung Consumer Electronics CEO BK Yoon had a similar message saying "The Internet of Things is ready to go," and this will transform our economy, society, and how we live our lives. He pointed to a future of connected devices that actively support and protect us, without people having to actually push buttons. On the product side, he talked about adding smarts to most of Samsung's products, suggesting 90 percent of all Samsung's products would be Internet of Things devices by 2017 (including smart TVs and mobile devices). Then he called for an open platform that will allow all these devices to connect and pushed the companies to support Samsung's SmartThings platform.
All of this sounds great, and the concept is right. But to me, there are still big issues that need to resolve.
The first is cost. Most of the new smart devices look great, but even though the costs of sensors, processors, and connectivity have gone down, they are still relatively expensive for many of these categories. After all, you can buy a nice toothbrush for a couple of dollars; connected ones cost over $100.
Then there is technology. Processor technology has come a long way but still has a ways to go before it's really ready for very small devices. Smartphone processors are very powerful and highly integrated but use a lot of power. Tiny microcontrollers don't use much power, but they don't deliver a lot of features or performance. Over the next couple of years, I expect we'll see more and more processors specifically designed for the "Internet of Things," taking advantage of new technologies to deliver more performance for less power.
Then there's the issue of making the devices work together. Here the issue is that everyone wants to be in control. I must have seen a dozen "open" platforms for connecting smart devices in the home. Samsung has its SmartThings platform via partnerships with Netgear, Philips, and Honeywell. LG is pushing WebOS as a method of connecting devices. And there must be at least half a dozen startups with ideas for creating a platform for controlling multiple smart devices, from Oort and Avi-On.
At a lower level, there are two competing larger standards groups aimed at making these devices talk to each other at a lower level: Intel, Samsung, Broadcom, and others have the Open Interconnect Consortium and its IoTivity software framework, while Qualcomm leads the AllSeen Alliance, which now includes LG, Sharp, Sony, and Panasonic, with its AllJoyn platform. Too many "open" competing "standards" isn't much better than vendor proprietary technologies.
Finally, we come to the interrelated issues of privacy and security. Do we really want hundreds of devices all keeping track of everything we do? And if so, who do we share this information with, and how do we prevent malicious people from getting hold of the data, or from taking control of our devices? People are afraid of things like malware taking control of Internet-connected cameras and household appliances.
All of these are issues that will take time to work through, and as a result, I don't think I'm going to go home a year from now and find everything is connected. But I do expect steady progress in all of these areas and that we all will be slowly acquiring more and more smart connected devices. A decade or so from now, the "smart home" is likely to be fairly commonplace, but there will be a lot of fits and starts between now and then.
There were practical things, such as connected light bulbs, and other parts of the smart home, offered by many different companies.
And some of the smart clothing seems silly, but others have practical advantages for emergency responders or athletes.
Similarly, I'm not sure we need all the products aimed at digital health, but I can certainly see the advantages of being able to track blood sugar for diabetics or heart rate and/or blood pressure for people with diagnosed medical conditions.
How about a baby thermometer? Blue Spark's TempTraq uses a patch you place under your child's arm, so you can monitor his or her temperature continuously on your smartphone if the child has a fever. I can see where that might make parents more comfortable.
But I'm not sure we need a connected rubber duck.
Or how about a collar to track where your dog is at all times?
I also saw a couple of connected toothbrushes, Parrot's automatic watering system for house plants, locks, bicycle tire pressure gauges, a baby pacifier, and all sorts of other products.
Televisions, of course, are often connected now with "smart TVs" using Wi-Fi to access over-the-top video streams such as Netflix. And it seemed like all the car companies from Ford to Mercedes were at the show touting their connected capabilities.
And of course, there were hundreds (literally hundreds) of smartwatches and fitness bands. I've seen a few stories questioning the accuracy of the fitness devices, but I've certainly seen them act as spurs to help people become more active.
In short, if you can put a sensor in it, it was probably on display at CES this year.
So it seems like everything will be connected, some things sooner than later. But how these devices talk to each other, how they fit together, how consumers react, and how much control we have of our individual data remain questions that still need to be addressed.

Islanders battle Titan in Sunday matinee road affair
On the heels of a 5-4 overtime loss to the Quebec Remparts that saw them squander a 3-goal lead in the third period, the Charlottetown Islanders head to Bathurst to take on the Acadie-Bathurst Titan and try to put that loss in the rearview mirror.
Despite the loss, Charlottetown (4-0-2-0) remains near the top of the Eastern Conference standings, just two points back of the Cape Breton Eagles for first in the Eastern Conference, although the Eagles have played one more game than the Isles. Most impressively though, the Islanders remain the only team in the QMJHL without a regulation loss to begin the season.
The Titan, however, are trending in the opposite direction. They've picked up where they've left off last season, with Bathurst (0-5-0-1) having yet to win a game early on. This has been especially the case at home, where as of October 5th they've yet to win a game in over a full calendar year. They're coming off of a 4-2 loss just last night to the Saint John Sea Dogs.
Despite the struggles in the standings, there are great signs of improvement on the ice. 19-year old forward Anderson MacDonald has made massive improvements to his game following an injury-riddled season. The two-time 25-goal scorer has six points in six games to start the season. He's led a young crop of players that includes Riley Kidney, the 11th overall pick in the 2019 QMJHL Draft. Kidney is currently tied with MacDonald for the team lead in points, with six.
For Charlottetown, Thomas Casey remains on fire to begin the season, having recorded at least a point in each of the team's six games thus far. His nine points are good for a tie for 10th in the entire league. Another player who has been hot for the Islanders is Kevin Gursoy. Despite a cold start to the season, the 20-year old has come on strong this weekend, recording multiple points in each of the past two games.
In goal, Matthew Welsh gets the nod this afternoon for his fifth start of the season. It's been business as usual for the fifth-year netminder this season, currently sitting third in the league with a .928 save percentage and second with a 1.73 goals-against-average.
Due to regional television restrictions, Fair Isle Ford Isles Radio will be broadcasting the Rogers TV audio feed for this afternoon's action. Make sure you tune in to catch all of the exciting action!

Lecture: Authentic Progress in Islamic Thought: How it's possible?
Speaker: Dr. Irfan Ahmad Khan
The study of Islam in Africa still pays too little attention to the words of scholars. With some notable exceptions, the story of African Sufism, in particular, is often told from the colonial archive or from ethnographic observations. Certainly, the writings of scholars are not the only paths to knowledge about African Sufi movements. But ignoring the contents of the vast scholarly corpus that has given such movements their unique vitality is a problem. In this historiography, great shaykhs are often seen—depicted as mystics, spiritual trainers, and charismatic figures—but seldom heard. The near absence of their authorial voices leaves a void at what should be the heart of intellectual history, and the silence within is deafening. Jihad of the Pen, Journey of the Soul, a book project under contract with the American University in Cairo Press, presents contextualized translations of seminal insights from some of West Africa's most renowned scholars: Usman dan Fodio, Umar Tal, Amadu Bamba, and Ibrahim Niasse.
Time: 6:00pm Light Refreshments; 6:30pm Talk
Where: Conference Hall, Main Bldg, American Islamic College
Dr. Irfan Ahmad Khan is an Intellectual, Scholar, Author and Teacher of Quran. Born in Saharanpur, UP, India (1931), Irfan Ahmad Khan graduated in Physical Sciences (B.Sc. 1952) from Aligarh Muslim University in Aligarh, India and then pursued traditional higher studies in Islamic Sciences at Rampur, India (1956-58) at an institution specially designed for graduates of western universities. He obtained a Ph.D. in Western Philosophy from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1986.
Dr. Khan taught Western Philosophy, Muslim Theology and Indian Religions at AMU during 1958-73. In 1974, he moved to the US. He taught Islamic Philosophy at the University of Illinois at Chicago, School of Religion at The University of Iowa, School of Art Institute of Chicago, and American Islamic College, Chicago.
In the early sixties, Dr. Khan edited "Islamic Thought" – a journal dedicated to Islamic Research. His published work includes "Reflections on the Qur'an" eight hundred pages of a methodical study of al-Fatihah and al-Baqarah – understanding and interpreting first two surahs (Divine Discourses) of the Qur'an from contemporary perspective, and with a view to develop, in his readers, ability and skill to understand Qur'anic surahs as systematically organized discourses.
Dr. Khan has traveled widely through Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia, and North America, attended conferences and wrote numerous articles on contemporary philosophical and religious issues from the perspective of a plural world and receiving his inspiration from the Qur'an. However during the past sixty years, his main concern has always remained the moral, intellectual and spiritual uplift of the Muslim People.
Dr. Khan was the Founding President of World Council of Muslims for Interfaith Relations (WCMIR) and founding trustee of the Council for a Parliament of World's Religions (CPWR) and as its Vice-President, chaired Parliament's International Interfaith Initiatives. He has been actively involved with the International Committee for the Peace Council since its inception in 1994 and was Founding President of The Inter-religious Engagement Project for the Twenty First Century (IEP21). He has been active in the movement "Globalization for Common Good" and works on the Board of other international organizations.
At present, Dr. Khan is The Director of Association for Qur'anic Understanding.

Arcade Restaurant
Memphis, TN, USA
Memphis has an extraordinary history and Arcade Restaurant has been there for much of it. Arcade Restaurant is, in fact, the oldest restaurant in Memphis, dating back to 1919! Speros Zepatos started the diner after immigrating from Greece. In 1925, the original building was torn down and the Arcade Restaurant that you see today was built.
Speros's son, Harry, helped develop the Arcade in the 1950s. Even though it has undergone further renovations, Arcade has retained its classic 50's diner vibe, sending you back to the good days!
Through the highs and lows of Memphis, Arcade has stood through it all. With its prime location near Beale Street, and its grand history, Arcade Restaurant is an official historic landmark! It has also been used as a filming location for a variety of feature films, which earned it a second historical marker issued by the Memphis Film Commission!
One of its many claims to fame is that Elvis, the King himself, was once a regular here! If you're lucky, you might be able to grab a spot at his favorite booth in the corner by the window!

HumanitiesWeb.org - Romantic Art
Sort by Period
Themes in Music
Romantic Art
The word "romantic" is bound up in all kinds of images involving hearts and flowers, cupids, valentines, candy, crooning tunes, and spooning under the looming moon in June. Strictly speaking, it means "Roman-like," but I'm not sure how the two ever came to be equated. So far as I know, the Romans were no more "romantic" than anyone else was. However, I think probably our present day associations with the word date back to the Romantic period in the arts, around the middle of the nineteenth century, an era sometimes known as Romanticism. Like so many "eras" the Romantic period was not limited merely to painting. It had a presence in music of the period and actually was perhaps strongest in literature. In fact, literary Romanticism still endures, albeit in a somewhat raunchier form, on the book shelves of our supermarkets today.
In painting, as in literature, it was all about lovely, helpless ladies, powerful, colourful heroes, heroic deeds, violence, death and dying, mourning, tears, love, hate and all that. Sounds like a typical afternoon soap opera, doesn't it? Artistically it was about Theodore G�ricault, Eugene Delacroix, J.M.W. Turner, and John Constable. The first two are French, the latter two are English. The first two painted wild scenes from mythology, the Bible, and even current events, while the latter two were landscape painters. Romantic landscapes? Yes, Turner was partial to sunsets...or sunrises...usually it's hard to tell and romantically speaking it makes little difference anyway. Constable was more prone toward nostalgia, glorious skies, lovely rivers and streams, hot summer days, clouds, livestock, small towns with church spires off in the distance, and everyday people leading everyday lives. It may not sound all that romantic but in Constable's talented hands, it was quite soul stirring.
In France, Romanticism was a reaction to the high-flown, stilted, moral rectitude of the Classical era during the early part of the 1800s. That of course had been a reaction to the Rococo flights of fancy of the century before. So the French, in fact, were wildly swinging from one extreme to the other. G�ricault and Delacroix not only painted Romanticism, they lived wildly romantic lives as well. The English, on the other hand, had always been somewhat romantic in their artistic tastes dating back to the landscape backgrounds of Reynolds and especially Gainsborough. Turner and Constable merely dispensed with the distracting portraiture in the foregrounds and concentrated upon beautiful settings--tranquil and serene scenes as seen by Constable-- the wild, woolly, wind, rain, and fire as seen by Turner. So the next time your start feeling "romantic," remember the debt we owe to the Romantic painters. There's more to it than hearts and flowers.


Hi, I seem to be having the same problem as other people, during the matches it is freezing then crashing, I have checked and everything is upto date, I did have custom badges on but I have deleted them and it is still crashing, please help me sort it out!
Can you please attach your crash dump file and your DXDIAG, please?
Let us know how you get on, thank you.
Okay we've now released 19.1.2 to everyone - can you try again and see if you have the same issue? If you do, please attach the crash dump file from the latest crash.
Let us know either way, thanks.
Played a couple matches last night and it didn't crash so the update seems to have worked, hopefully!
Thanks for letting us know. Cheers.
Is this happening in matches only or in general?
Have you tried our new Public Beta version which is testing some stability fixes. We'd recommend trying that version to see if it helps with your issue.

Mindy Kaling Shares Details About "Legally Blonde 3"
Published January 12th, 2021 - 08:31 GMT
Kaling, however, does not know when the team will be able to shoot the movie.
In the upcoming romantic comedy, Mindy Kaling said the main character, Elle Woods, is 40 and still living life to the fullest.
US writer Mindy Kaling has revealed details about the much-anticipated movie "Legally Blonde 3."
In an interview with Access Hollywood, the writer said she is currently working on the script with "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" creator Dan Goor. In the upcoming romantic comedy, the main character, Elle Woods, is 40 and still living life to the fullest.
"I can't wait to see what people will think of the way we wrote Elle Woods. We wrote Elle Woods at 40, so how Elle is at 40 versus how she was at 21 has been really fun to imagine," Kaling teased.
"I love the franchise so much," the comedian added. "I love Elle Woods as a character and when Reese (Witherspoon) asked me to write it, I was like, 'Absolutely!'"

Q: Program that copies one string to another which includes the function is printing weird characters This is the code. It has to have the section before the void main() in it as it is the requirements i was told for the code.The stuff after void strcopy needs to be kept until void main().
#include <stdio.h>

void strcopy(char * string1, char * string2)
{
    int i = 0;

    while (string1[i] != '\0') {
        string2[i] = string1[i];
        i++;
    }
    return;
    /* copies string1 to string 2 */
}

void main()
{
    char string1[1000], string2[1000];
    int i;

    printf("Enter the string: \n");
    scanf("%[^\n]s", string1);

    printf(" %s ", string2);

    return;
}

This is what is being printed and I'm stumped. Can someone help me out please?
Enter the string:
hello
t��\�

Thanks

A: First, you do not call strcopy, so you print just the uninitialized content of string2. Second, in strcopy, you forgot to terminate the target string (note that your loop terminates before the `\0' would be written). Write:
void strcopy(char * string1, char * string2)
{
    int i = 0;

    while (string1[i] != '\0') {
        string2[i] = string1[i];
        i++;
    }
    string2[i]='\0';
    return;
    /* copies string1 to string 2 */
}

If you do not terminate a string, then any bytes in the target memory are treated as "belonging to the string" until a 0x0 byte is reached. And these bytes might produce such weird output.

A: But you never called strcopy().
Add the function call after reading input:
strcopy(string1, string2);

Other issues are:

*

*main() function should return int. So, change the definition to: int main(void) {... and return an int value such as return EXIT_SUCCESS;.

*You haven't inserted the null byte into your destination. You need it because you are printing it as a string using %s. Add string2[i] = 0; after the while loop.

*Remove the s from scanf()'s format specifier. %[^\n] is enough to read upto a newline. Instead you might considering using fgets(). Because scanf() as you use - is susceptible to buffer overflow and generally inferior.

In the past, charging a battery in the cold was a losing battle, but CTEK has changed that. The SNOWFLAKE mode and the MUS 4.3 POLAR are specifically designed to charge your battery in cold conditions. And, you don't lose any of the performance that other CTEK smartchargers supply.
The MUS 4.3 POLAR is made for cold weather, with adapted AC and DC cables that can handle the cold weather down to -22F (-30C). The "snowflake" mode makes sure that the charging process runs ideally even in extremely cold conditions. There's no good time for a dead battery, but in the middle of a cold spell tops the list. The MUS 4.3 POLAR provides superb charging with added winter performance.
Although the MUS 4.3 POLAR is designed for the cold, it provides top of the line charging all year round. Using an advanced microprocessor, the smartcharger can handle batteries from 1.2Ah up to 110Ah. So whether you are charging your snowmobile, 4X4, or snowplow, the MUS 4.3 POLAR can tackle the task.
Remember when you had to lug a heavy charger to your vehicle, make sure you attached it correctly, and then tried to decipher what the dials, buttons, and gauges all meant? The MUS 4.3 POLAR does away with all of that. Weighing just over one pound, the smartcharger does the work of chargers weighing 5 times as much. It's impossible to attach the charger wrong and cause damage. The system is spark-free and if you put the connectors on wrong, it won't do anything until you reattach them correctly. Once the smartercharger is connected, your work is done until it's time to remove it. The entire charging process is automatic and is easily followed on the LED display.
The fully automatic smartcharger has eight charging steps that allows you to keep your battery charged and maintained. The process not only keeps your vehicle ready to go, but it also extends the life of your battery, saving you money, time, and effort.

Special Elections Results Mean 'Republicans Are in Trouble — Vox Writer
As they have in the past, Republicans have mocked Pelosi's leadership. "CLF never deviated from the goal of defining Ossoff as a dishonest liberal ".

Democrats and the losing politics of contempt
The battle to win the seat left vacant by Health and Human Services Secretary, Tom Price, smashed House race spending records. Trump won the north Atlanta suburban district by just one percentage point.

Medical Groups Hate the 'Literally Heartless' Senate Health Care Plan
The same poll shows a favorable/unfavorable ratio for a congressional "health care plan that would repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act ". That poses a problem for the party leadership.

Critics of Senate health bill hope to sway GOP Sen. Cassidy
Well, now that Senate GOP rewrite has been released from the backroom secrecy in which it was drafted under the guidance of Majority Leader Mitch McConnell , it appears no one really paid any attention to what Trump had to say.

Within hours of the Senate majority leader unveiling a long-anticipated health care bill on Thursday, four of his Republican colleagues were quick to put a damper on things: "We are not ready to vote for this bill", the group said in a joint statement .

Nancy Pelosi Aides Seek to Drum Up Backing with Supportive Tweets: #StandWithNancy
Tim Walz of Minnesota. The House Democratic leader is seeking to reassure Democrats dejected after a loss in a Georgia special election where the party invested millions of dollars. Pelosi became defensive, in the middle of a long rambling explanation about the state of the Democrat Party (video at end). Rep.

Study finds gaps in digital divide theory
The digital divide is not just a problem in poor countries--it's also widening in technologically advanced regions, says a study by a panel of experts set up by chipmaker AMD.
Oct. 29, 2003 10:16 a.m. PT
Lack of access to the Internet and related digital technologies is a problem not only in emerging markets but also in advanced countries, a comparative study of eight markets has shown.
Though the gap between haves and have-nots is narrowing in the United States and in other nations, certain aspects of the divide are widening in many countries, according to the study.
In the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan, the "gender divide" is decreasing as more women are logging on to the Net. But in China, Germany, Italy, Korea and Mexico the report finds that women are still laggards. The United States is slower than other advanced markets in adopting technologies such as mobile Net access and broadband, where Japan and South Korea lead respectively, the study says.
The Global Consumer Advisory Board , set up by chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices, collated findings from different studies on Internet use and access in China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States in its report, titled "Charting and Bridging Digital Divides."
The study notes that there is no global standard for gauging Internet usage and growth because the spread of the Internet is uneven. Though the number of people online has risen from about a million users in 1993 to more than 600 million in 2002, only about 10 percent of the world's population is online. Nearly 90 percent of those users are from industrialized countries, with nearly a third of those users from the United States.
But in the United States, it may not be a question of access. An earlier study found that a full 20 percent of unwired Americans said they live in homes with an Internet connection, but don't access the Net.
"Bridging the digital divide requires more than simply offering computers and Internet access. Technological fixes won't close the divide unless they take into account the social reasons why people aren't online," Patrick Moorhead, GCAB chairman, said in a statement. "For companies that are increasingly focused on global emerging markets, understanding socioeconomic factors impacting technology adoption in the various regions is absolutely crucial."

Sammi Cheng Sau Man and Andy Hui Chi On's pajamas photo yesterday appeared online. A facebook account posted their parody photo. They wore pajamas with the caption "Mr. and Mrs. Hui", leading to fans guessing that Sammi wanted to announce good news with On Jai with it. Everyone left message to congratulate "Mr. and Mrs. Hui". Yet, the photo was a PS photo for the film BLIND DETECTIVE (MAN TAM)'s promotional poster, with Hui Chi On's head in place of Andy Lau Tak Wa's. To prevent fans from thinking it was real, at night Sammi clarified that someone impersonated her and sent out this photo. She hoped fans would be nice and not to take a joke too far. She said, "Neither the photo nor the words came from me personally, they came from impostors. I know that they don't have any bad intention, but they have to be nice and not to take a joke too far. I have always only have one official facebook and Weibo account."

From all indications, 2009 will be one of the most challenging in the history of modern Jamaica. We expect that all sectors of our economy will be impacted to a greater or lesser extent by the deepening global recession that has been triggered by the international financial crisis.
As a responsible Government, while we recognise and appreciate the full implications of the international crisis, we will calmly and resolutely implement measures proactively as well as responsively to the unfolding developments. As a result, we are encouraged by the positive response of the productive sectors, our workers, consumers and indeed all the major stakeholders in the economy. The country has not been seized by panic reaction and there are early signs that many of the players in the economy, including the small and micro enterprise sector, are turning the severe challenges into exciting opportunities.
For instance, the stimulus package is being widely embraced and although the measures may not provide 100 per cent satisfaction to all sectors and individuals, it is generally accepted as the best prescription that the Government can advance at this time, given our resource constraints and the crippling debt burden.
Specifically, for 2009, we expect that the demand pressures on the exchange rate will abate in response to the injection of over US$500 million in the economy, during the period December 2008 to the end of the fiscal year, from the multilateral loans that we have negotiated. We expect that a significant number of our small businesses will formalise their enterprises and access the nearly $5 billion that is available through state funded facilities as well as through dedicated credit provided by the financial services sector.
As the foreign exchange pressures subside and inflation and inflationary expectations recede, we expect that interest rates will trend downwards. Adequate foreign exchange flows have been identified for the next fiscal year when debts due for repayment will be significantly less than was the case this year and hence the Government's own foreign exchange needs will be much less than last year's. I wish to emphasise that there will be more than enough foreign exchange to meet our needs; including repaying our debts that will become due. Thus the precipitous slide in the value of the Jamaican dollar against the US dollar since the beginning of September by 10 per cent is expected to subside in 2009, through the injection of foreign currency from multilateral funding.
The support to the manufacturing sector will include the removal of customs user fees payable on capital goods and raw materials. In addition, the time allowed for depreciating the cost of capital equipment will be reduced from two years to one year, and Government procurement policy will be adjusted to provide a 10 per cent margin of preference to Jamaican-owned companies. All of these measures become effective on January 1, 2009.
The manufacturing sector will benefit from a US$300 million credit facility that the Government will be signing in January with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The facility will provide loans to the productive sector, which will be made available through commercial banks and the EX-IM Bank, at a time when most countries' credit is drying up on the world sphere.
In 2009, we expect that our banking sector and financial institutions will remain secure. Despite the fact that a few of our securities dealers were faced with margin calls as the liquidity crisis in the US pressed heavily on the value of Jamaican bonds, our banks remain sound and well regulated.
As the global economic crisis deepens and international credit from the capital markets remain virtually frozen, this strategic decision to deepen our relationship with the multilateral institutions like the World Bank, the Caribbean Development Bank and the IDB is critical in helping us to weather the storm in 2009. The loans that they offer are significantly cheaper, at just about 3 per cent and with longer and more favourable terms.

27/01/2015 · How to use a $2 O'Cedar brush, microfiber cloth and 6 inch steel ruler to clean the inside of a grand piano Piano will need tuned after doing this as any bending on the strings will make them go... 13. Cleaning the Upright . We offer cleaning and polishing supplies for all pianos. The cleaning steel can be useful in doing the following. First, open the upright all the way up as instructed in Chapter Five.
Rather, spray onto the cloth and then clean the piano. The maintenance of the inner workings of the piano should be left to a qualified piano technician. Resist dusting the inside of your piano, oiling the moving parts, or using moth or insect repellents. Your piano …... The grand piano looks so charming with its top up all the time, but it is a glorious dust trap. Keep the lid all the way closed please. Also, NEVER let anyone put drinks, flowers, food, ash trays or anything but music on the piano.
4/02/2009 · We have a newer Weber Baby Grand Piano which sits near the kitchen. Unfortunately, it was left open while cooking for some time, and now a thin layer of grease/dust sits inside on the wood and strings, etc. What is the best way to clean this without damaging the wood and parts? Answer with link wins. Thanks!
Since a grand piano carries such a bold presence in a room, decorating the wall behind it may seem daunting. An empty wall leaves the space stark, further emphasizing and drawing eyes to the piano.
I have recently inherited a 100 year old piano that has not had any love in a long time. I have tried to clean it with vinegar and water but it persists in being VERY sticky. I don't want to harm... I have tried to clean it with vinegar and water but it persists in being VERY sticky.

Q: How does Openshift handle sessions by default in auto-scaling applications? Using Tomcat7 on OpenShift Online (free plan), I created a simple Java web application using Apache Wicket as front-end framework. I was wondering how OpenShift deals by default with sessions when an additional gear is started to support a traffic peak.
Are requests within the same session always handled by the same gear, or is it possible that two subsequent requests are handled by different gears?
If requests are handled by different gears, will the session be available on both?

A: The default behavior that OpenShift uses for HA-Proxy (the load balancer) is session affinity - so each connection should stay on the gear it started on. If it doesn't do that behavior then there is a bug. Please let us know if you see that.
If you want sessions to survive if there is a failure on one of your application servers then you would need to use a server technology that clusters - like JBoss EAP. I am not sure if tomcat 7 on OpenShift is configured for clustering by default.


Wonders they say shall never end... This probably explains best the new research finding of some Swedish and Ethiopian (I hope they were not high on coffee) scientists who have released research findings that suggest that having a live chicken in your home especially in the same room with you helps to prevent mosquitoes from biting you.
For better results, suspend the chicken cage over your bed!
According to National Post: Scientists from Sweden and Ethiopia found that malaria-carrying mosquitoes avoided homes where a live chicken had been suspended in a cage.
They believe the insects shunned the bug-eating birds because chicken blood is not sufficiently nutritious to justify risking being killed. Crucially, the scientists said, the mosquitoes did not have to see the fowl to be deterred as the smell alone created a repellent "odour bubble".
Most would not enter a house, let alone a bedroom, that contained a chicken, the study, published in Malaria Journal, found.

Lytle, Tate and Stamper doctors apply dental techniques that they have developed through years of advanced training in oral and maxillofacial surgery. As a result, our patients know that they are receiving care from practiced, skilled professionals.
With our work in dental implants, La Canada patients benefit from a team approach to dentistry. Learn below how our collaborative process provides patients with the right talent at each phase of their procedure.
• Dental implants are a two-staged process. In the first, a post is connected to the bone of the jaw. In the second stage, a crown is attached to the post. As a result of this structure, the dental implant is more durable than alternative tooth replacements.
• Unlike dental bridges or fixed appliances, teeth adjacent to the gap experience no wear or damage due to dental implants.
• La Canada patients may be experiencing bone resorption, a process in which bone begins to deteriorate around the missing tooth. Implants help to encourage bone growth in these gaps.
Lytle, Tate and Stamper organizes dental implant surgery so that experts work together at different phases of the procedure. While other dentists may offer to handle all of these services on your behalf, our doctors feel that those most familiar with each phase should handle it. For example, we believe practiced surgeons should handle the surgery aspect of your treatment.
Before a procedure, Lytle, Tate and Stamper's doctors analyze the patient's needs and determine the proper dental implants, positioning, and techniques to use. We work with established medical labs to create the customized parts for your implants.
On the day of your initial procedure, our surgeons set the posts for your implants. These posts require time to take hold, heal, and become more durable. When they have reached this point, LTS teams with a restorative dentist in La Canada, who sets the crowns for your dental implants. Our doctors then review this work to ensure that the results are as expected.
• An experienced oral surgeon performs the procedure and oversees the anesthesia.
• At least two oral surgery assistants are present when conducting sedation or general anesthesia. These assistants have been certified by the California Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons in sedation assistance.
• Our offices have modern operating rooms with equipment that monitors the safe delivery of anesthesia.
Whether it is dental implants, jaw realignment, or wisdom teeth extraction, La Canada patients can count on Lytle, Tate and Stamper for high-quality, reliable results. Contact our office today for an initial consultation.
