" ….a telepathic interplay which will eventually annihilate time" (Alice Bailey)
"….translation or dematerialisation to another sphere of the Universe" (Teilhard de Chardin)
"….A matter-antimatter implosion leaving a mutation of matter to photoniform. Our minds will unite like the fragments of a hologram." (Terence McKenna)
"….As the Schumann resonance increases to 13Hz, Gaia goes from Alpha to Beta frequency & wakes up. Increasing tryptamine & beta-carboline neuro-chemistry allows us a telepathic communion, as we become used to our light bodies in preparation for the magnetic pole reversal when there will be a mass out-of-body-experience." (Geoff Stray)
"….Evolutionary quantum leap. Human / ET interface & the arrival of a new species or kingdom on Earth." (Jon King)
"…..In 2012, Earth's axis will tilt, along with a polar reversal, causing terrestrial and celestial grids to re-align, the pineal eye will perceive beyond ultraviolet,& we'll ascend to the next dimension beyond time." (Moira Timms)
"….The human race will unify as a single circuit. Solar & galactic sound transmissions will inundate the planetary field. A current charging both poles will race across the skies, connecting the polar auroras in a single brilliant flash." (Jose Arguelles)
"….A moment of quantum awakening. A nanosecond will be stretched into infinity and become non-time, during which we will all experience full consciousness of who we are and why we have incarnated. If we choose to return to human form, we will do so in an awakened state, as 'reflective cells' of the starmaker."(Ken Carey)

How Will My Heirs Inherit From Me?
A topic that comes up often in estate planning is how to divide up estate assets among beneficiaries. "Should I divide up my inheritance?" "Should one child get more than the other?" As estate planning attorneys, our role is not just to prepare documents and make sure things are in place for our client's wishes and intentions to be carried out, but to also counsel and advise our clients on the best strategies given their unique situations.
Niuris Bezanilla	October 8, 2020
Why The Need to Plan?
Estate planning attorneys often times run into situations where clients undermine the importance of having an estate plan. After the Tax Cuts and Jobs Acts ("TCJA") was passed, the estate tax exemption nearly doubled to $11.18 million for single individuals and $22.36 million for those that are married. Due to the immense increase in the exemption, the market for secession planning has encountered a short decline. However, planning is necessary so that your best interests are adhered to in the event you're unable to adhere to them yourself.

Do Non-Married Partners Have Inheritance Rights In Florida?
Long-term relationships and domestic partnerships are becoming more common in today's society, which brings with it a host of legal issues, especially when it comes to estate planning and death. Unlike in a traditional marital relationship, when one of the partners becomes deceased, there are no marriage laws to protect the surviving partner when claiming the assets of their now deceased partner's estate.
Batalla del conservador de la princesa pop
Desde que se convirtió en un icono del pop adolescente a principios de la década del 2000, Britney Spears no ha sido ajena a la controversia y a los titulares de las revistas. Después de un colapso público en 2007, con la cabeza afeitada y atacando a los paparazzi, Britney comenzó una serie de estancias en centros de rehabilitación. Mientras Britney se centraba en su salud mental, su padre, Jamie Spears, fue nombrado por un tribunal para que examinara a Britney y sus finanzas, también conocido como tutela. Desde entonces, Britney ha mantenido un perfil bastante bajo. Sin embargo, recientes publicaciones en medios sociales y una serie de peticiones judiciales han vuelto a poner a Britney en los titulares. Específicamente, Britney ha solicitado a la corte que retire su tutela y los fans están llamando a "#freebritney" para que deje de estar bajo el control de su padre.
Pop Princess Conservator Battle
From the time she became a teenage pop icon in the early 2000s, Britney Spears has been no stranger to controversy and magazine headlines. After a very public breakdown in 2007, complete with head shaving and attacking the paparazzi, Britney began a series of stints in rehab facilities. While Britney was focusing on her mental health, her father, Jamie Spears, was appointed by a court to look over Britney and her finances, also known as a conservatorship. Since then Britney has maintained a fairly low profile. However, recent social media posts and a series of court petitions have put Britney back in the headlines. Specifically, Britney has petitioned the court to remove her conservatorship and fans are calling to "#freebritney" from the control of her father.
What is a Letter of Testamentary? Florida vs. New York
Upon a person's passing, their estate is to be divided appropriately. When the late person has a valid will, the personal representative or executor of the estate will then come in to distribute the assets in accordance with the wishes stipulated in the will. Nevertheless, Florida courts specifically, will not allow the personal representative to distribute assets until he or she has been given a letter of testamentary by the court.

Why Everyone Should Have a Trust?
A trust is a legal agreement between the person who created the trust "settlor" and the trustee (the settlor as well), which is designed to hold assets for the beneficiary/ies of the trust. A trust can be a useful legal and financial mechanism to hold and distribute one's assets after the death of the settlor, regardless of the amount of assets the settlor has. Below are a few of the reasons why trusts are a good idea for everyone.

Grounds for Contesting a Will in Florida
At EPGD, we strive to communicate the importance of succession planning and are eager to spread knowledge on every aspect of having a valid will. More times than not, a will may potentially open itself up to an opportunity to be contested. This is known as a will contest, and Florida, among many other states, recognizes a number of grounds for contesting a will.
What is Intestacy in Florida?
Having a written Last Will and Testament is an essential part of an estate plan. It reflects all of your wishes upon your death, including who the beneficiaries of your estate are and how they are to inherit from you upon your death. Without one, you can potentially face the risk of your assets being distributed contrary to your intentions under the default laws of the state of Florida.
What is a "No Contest" Clause and is it Enforceable?
The term "In Terrorem" is a legal Latin term that translates to "in terror". Today, most lawyers prefer to use the term "no contest". A "No Contest" clause in a will may be added by the Testator of the will.

Beneficiary's Rights in a Florida Trust
In the United States, the rights of trust beneficiaries are typically governed by state law. Florida has adopted the Uniform Trust Code (U.T.C.), which governs the administration of trusts in Florida as well as duties and rights of trustees and beneficiaries.
What Are the 5 Things You Need in Your Estate Plan in Florida?
A Last Will and Testament is a legal document that allows you to decide how to distribute your assets after your passing. A Will contains the definition of assets, the names of beneficiaries, and sometimes includes guardianship designations and burial instructions. A Will also appoints an executor, or personal representative, of the will. A personal representative is someone who will pay remaining taxes after your passing and make sure the Will is being executed correctly and in accordance with your wishes.

What is a Living Will?
A living will is a legally binding document that explains an individual's personal choices about end-of-life medical care in cases where they become incapacitated and can no longer make decisions for themselves. For example, the living will would state whether an individual would want to be kept alive through life support or whether they would not like to receive any life support, including artificial nutrition and hydration.
Difference Between a Revocable and an Irrevocable Trust in Florida
A trust is an agreement between a settlor and a trustee, which directs the trustee to hold the settlor's assets for the benefit of the settlor's beneficiaries. In simple terms, an individual will establish a trust to hold their assets for their beneficiaries. The person establishing the trust, or the settlor, can create a trust agreement where he is both the settlor and the trustee and place all of his assets in the trust.
What is Probate in Florida?
Probate is a court process that is used to determine the authenticity of a will as well as to administer the estate of the deceased individual. Through probate, the court supervises the payment of all the debts of the decedent to his creditors. Subsequently, the court administers the distribution of the assets of the estate to its beneficiaries in accordance with the will of the decedent. In case of an absence of the will, the court will arrange the asset distribution according to the laws of intestacy of the applicable state.
What is Tortious Interference with an Expected Inheritance in Florida?
Tortious Interference with an Expected Inheritance occurs when someone succeeds at manipulating the assets of the decedent. In such a case, those beneficiaries of the inheritance who suffer an injury as a result of the tortious interference can bring a suit against the person who has manipulated the assets. Such conduct could include transferring money between different accounts, converting bank accounts to cash or affecting the distribution of the assets in any other way.
What is a Holographic Will?
A holographic will is a will that has been written by hand by the person that is establishing the will, legally known as a testator. A holographic will is different from a standard will because it is typically neither notarized nor signed by two witnesses and handwritten.

How do I Donate my Organs as part of my Estate Plan?
When preparing your estate plan, not only can you provide directives as to the administration of your estate, but you can also give instructions as to what will happen to your body after you pass away. Providing such instructions yourself would save your family from conflict over what should be done with your body and how you would have wanted to be buried.

Eventually I wanna get a hub motor and see how much help I get with 1500W of electric assist... which might be enough to "level the hill" and cut my commute time... how much battery would I need (at 48 or 52V) to get 5mi found trip?
I bought a slightly used road bike for 190£.
You don't necessarily need that kind of power. My hybrid has a 300w geared motor (better for low end torque) and I can tackle big hills. Oh, it wipes me out, but I get up them without stopping, and the motor can take up the slack once I get to the top.
I'd expect a 500w geared motor would likely be able to climb said hills with little work on my part. If you went mid-drive, the steepness/length of the hill wouldn't matter...you could just gear down until the motor could keep up, whatever it's output.
OTOH, if you're going gear-less, yes, you might want a big motor. At ~800w, with small "moped" wheels/tires, my other electric "bike" with its gearless hub can only just get me up the steep hills, losing momentum. I can climb said hills quicker with my geared hub and me pedaling, unless i hit them at full speed and they're not too long.
I would look at how much the upgrades you want/need to do will cost vs buying an entry level bike. If you electrify, there are some parts you may want to upgrade on your current bike that would already be good enough on a better bike. Your brakes will need to stop you from higher speeds with increased weight. I used an entry level mountain bike for my ebike and I still put a few hundred into upgrades (some more necessary than others); I probably would have come out ahead if I'd spent a little more on the bike in the first place.
5 miles won't require much capacity, but 1500w will require either decent capacity or cells that can provide a lot of current. You'll likely use 25-30 wh/mile, so 150wh would be just enough, about 3Ah for a 48v battery. However, you'd be drawing 10C at 1500w, which is pretty high for most batteries if you want it to last many cycles (The C rate is how much current you're drawing vs the battery's capacity. Drawing 1A from a 1Ah would be 1C, 5A from the same battery would be 5C.).
A battery like this would be a pretty good fit https://lunacycle.com/52v-samsung-in...ah-high-power/ If you want smaller/cheaper, building a pack out of RC lithium cells would probably be your best option, but also the most likely to catch fire if you don't treat it right.
Ok, then yes, you'd want ~1500w. Upgraded brakes would be a good idea! Regen might be a good idea too, as it can safely slow you down pretty quick without locking the wheel.
Zinn Cycles Standard bicycle fitting This site will help you fit the bike to your body. Seat position and stem length go a long way to ending back pain. I found the right position for me and I use cycling as part of my physical therapy for lower back pain due to muscle imbalance. My current machine is a Roadmaster with a step through frame I bought used for $80. It is much like what you have from what you describe. Upgrade to mountain bike pads and get out the WD-40 and some diet cola to get rid of the rust. Get everything working smoothly and adjusted. Find a seat with coil springs if not already equipped. Plot your gear combinations so you know the best shift sequences. Hill climbing comes hard at first but after ten days you should start getting your wind. Aero mods will help. Disk on the rear wheel only. See the tail cone used on Oscar Egg's Rocket. Check the state laws on motorized bicycles, top speed allowed will be 30 mph or less.
"at the bottom of the pedal stroke your knee is almost straight... "
I've always gone with... "so your knee has a slight bend in it". Sounds like that's pretty close to what you did.


 "Hoax threats disrupt school, waste limited law enforcement resources and put first responders in unnecessary danger.
In the aftermath of tragic shootings, such as the ones at Santa Fe High School in Texas and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, there is often an increase in hoax threats to schools and other public places. Safety is paramount, and the FBI and our state and local law enforcement partners always respond to each threat.
In recent months, the FBI and law enforcement around the country have investigated a number of hoax threats of targeted violence against schools and other public places. These threats—often issued via text message or posted on social media—are taken very seriously. Hoax threats are not a joke, and they can have devastating consequences—both for the public and for the perpetrators.
Issuing a threat—even over social media, via text message, or through e-mail—is a federal crime (threatening interstate communications). Those who post or send these threats can receive up to five years in federal prison, or they can face state or local charges.
With a thoughtless remark on social media, young people risk starting out their adult lives in prison and forever being labeled a felon.
In addition to consequences for individuals who issue threats, there is also a significant societal cost. Law enforcement agencies have limited resources, and responding to hoax threats diverts officers and costs taxpayers. The threats can also cause severe emotional distress to students, school personnel, and parents.
Two young men in Kentucky created a social media account in someone else's name and used it to make threats against a public school, which police investigated and determined to be a hoax. An 18-year-old was sentenced to 21 months in prison and a 19-year-old was sentenced to 27 months.
A young man in Texas used social media and a phone to issue threats against schools in Minnesota. He also called in fake hostage situations, known as "swatting." He was arrested, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to more than three years in federal prison. He was 19 at the time of sentencing.
A 21-year-old South Carolina man was sentenced to one year in federal prison after he sent text messages claiming there was a bomb in the parking lot of a Veterans Affairs Medical Center in the state.
An 18-year-old North Carolina man was sentenced to 22 months in federal prison and was ordered to pay restitution after he broadcast himself on the Internet calling in bomb threats to various public places, including schools, colleges, and FBI offices.
Don't ever post or send any hoax threats online…period.
If you are a target of an online threat, alert your local law enforcement immediately.
If you see a threat of violence posted on social media, immediately contact local law enforcement or your local FBI office. Members of the public can always submit a tip to the FBI at tips.fbi.gov.
Notify authorities but don't share or forward the threat until law enforcement has had a chance to investigate—this can spread misinformation and cause panic.
If you are a parent or family member, know that some young people post these threats online as a cry for attention or as a way to get revenge or exert control. Talk to your child about the proper outlet for their stress or other emotions, and explain the importance of responsible social media use and the consequences of posting hoax threats.


The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a computer-based test conducted by the Graduate Management Admission Council (also referred as GMAC). It intends to assess certain skills of a candidate, including; analytical writing assessment, integrated reasoning ability, quantitative, and verbal ability. The assessment so made is used for admission to graduate programs around the world and the most popular among them is Masters in Business Administration (MBA).
On the day of the GMAT exam, at the exam center, the test administrator will ask the candidate to present valid, original identification. GMAT ID requirements will apply to all GMAT test center locations. The GMAT ID requirements include: Current, valid government issued ID document with the name, birth date and country of citizenship matching the details provided at the time of GMAT registration.
When you arrive at the test center to take the GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test), you may have a great deal at the forefront of your thoughts. Save yourself from potential issues on test day by reading this section carefully and ensuring that you bring appropriate identification proof.
Please note that Pearson VUE's identification policies are slightly different from the policies used by other test vendors. Even if you have already reviewed the information on mba.com about identification required for the GMAT®, you should continue reading here.
Note:No other forms of identification will be accepted.
No different types of identification proof will be acknowledged.
Introduce a second identification proof record from the above rundown that incorporates a signature.
The name and date of birth printed on the identification proof should exactly match the name and date of birth on your confirmation letter. No exemptions will be rolled out for name improvements or other name errors.
You will be made a request to leave the testing center without testing and compelled to relinquish your registration fee if your recognizable proof.
Is not regarded substantial by the test administrator.
All candidates testing in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan must present a travel permit to test.
All candidates testing outside their nation of citizenship must present a travel permit to test.
Citizens of European Union/Schengen Zone nations testing in one of these nations that is not their nation of origin must present a travel permit, national recognizable proof card, or European character card (meeting the greater part of the prerequisites recorded previously). Test chairmen won't acknowledge any type of recognizable proof from United States-restricted nations (counting Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria). To test, hopefuls from these nations must present legitimate ID that meets the necessities above demonstrating perpetual home in a non-banned nation.

I woke up this morning another year older. When I was younger I couldn't wait to enter my twenties, but now that I am nearing the end of them I am coming to a fuller realization that these days are limited. Life seems to speed up as the years progress at a rate I can barely keep up with! Lately, there is rarely a day that feels as if life is inching by like it did when I was a child. Back then, I couldn't wait to get to the next step to experience what was coming. I often wished away the season I was in so I could get to the next one where I would go to college…or get a real job…or become a wife…or have a home…or have a baby (the list could go on and on). Now that all of these things have come to fruition, I'm realizing more and more that these things were never meant to satisfy my soul. Only Jesus can do that.
Most days I wish I were back on the edge of that canyon, breathing in the salty ocean air with the clouds swirling around us. Instead, I find myself on the brink of piles and piles of laundry, loads of dishes, and long to-do lists. This leads me to an underwhelmed soul that becomes more overwhelmed at what needs to be done rather than what God is doing all around me. It's easy to miss God's glory in the midst of the mundane. But the exact same God who made that canyon that I marveled at years ago is the same God who made the fibers that make up the clothing that I wash, fold, iron, hang up and wear. The same God who made the salty ocean water is the same God who made the water in my faucet that I poured into my coffee pot this morning to make a hot cup of caffeine. I believe that we are living on the fringes of His glory, if only we would look up to see Him.

WeWork recovers 40 domains in WIPO dispute

Spotify succeeds in cybersquatting row
.feedback CEO lays into misconduct allegations by MarkMonitor
Heinz recovers domain used for phishing scheme
Multinational shared workspace company WeWork has successfully recovered 40 domain names in a dispute at the World Intellectual Property Organization's (WIPO) Arbitration and Mediation Center.
The domains, which include joinwe.work, newework.com, welivewework.com and weworkoffice.com, owned by Michael Chiriac, were registered between March and April this year.
They resolved to parking pages that displayed pay-per-click advertising.
WeWork filed its complaint on September 8 this year and the decision was published on Wednesday, October 26.
The workspace business said in its complaint that it has owned trademarks for the terms 'WeWork' and 'WeLive' since August 2011 and December 2013, respectively.
WeWork argued that the domains were confusingly similar to its own marks, that Chiriac has no rights or legitimate interests in the domains and that they were being used in bad faith.
The respondent did not reply to WeWork's complaint.
Sole panellist for the dispute at WIPO, Robert Badgley, said that the domains were confusingly similar to WeWork's marks.
Additionally, as WeWork established a prima facie case, Badgley found that the respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the domains.
He added that "it is not clear what respondent actually intended to do with the domain names, but nothing in the record appears to reflect or even adumbrate a legitimate use of the domain names".
Badgley also ruled that the domains had been used in bad faith, but he said that "the panel is not sure whether respondent harboured an ultimate purpose for the domain names.
"There is some suggestion in the email exchange between the parties that respondent may have been seeking to exchange the domain names for some type of consideration, but the email exchange is too cryptic to reach such a conclusion with confidence," he added.
The domains were handed back to WeWork on October 17 and the decision can be viewed in full here.

In 1998, the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) initiated a grants program on the Evolution of Infectious Diseases. As of mid-2002, NIGMS has funded 27 research grants in this field; other NIH institutes have funded an additional 8 grants. The program encourages development of a predictive science by applying the perspectives, theories, and methods from many scientific disciplines to important issues of disease emergence, transmission, prevention, and the consequences of treatment. Each research grant explicitly involves interdisciplinary collaborations.
Several themes emerged from the meeting.
Many parasites that cause diseases such as anthrax, plague, malaria, and tuberculosis are monomorphic; that is, there are very few genetic or protein variants in these pathogens. However, the few specific genes that do show variation are likely the targets of intense selection. (In malaria, the variation appears to be concentrated in membrane proteins.) These pathogens have complex life cycles involving several host species and must evolve mechanisms for evading the defenses of all of these hosts. It may be worth considering strategies for designing drugs that target proteins under selection, which could be identified using evolutionary tools.
By contrast, commensal microbes, such as Escherichia coli, Helicobacter pylori, and Streptococcus, tend to be highly polymorphic. They live for generations within a host and find tissue-specific or ecological niches within the body. Genetic variants compete with one another for niches and are held in check by competition. If a common strain is eliminated by antibiotic therapy, for example, a rare strain may be released from its competitive disadvantage and become common. This poses a challenge to medicine because treatment may eliminate the major population of pathogens, but if small populations of microbes remain behind, the disease can re-emerge.
Population models have been developed with Drosophila or E. coli in mind. While these models give us many useful insights, they may not work well for organisms under extreme selection, such as parasites. A challenge for population and evolutionary biology is to develop new mathematical models to explain the dynamics of infectious disease systems.
Participants agreed that the meeting was very useful in stimulating new lines of research and new collaborations. For the future, it will be important to focus on improving the mathematical analyses of infectious disease systems and on integrating data across many disciplines.

Green tea is one of my go-to drinks. In fact, I don't drink much else other than water, green tea, black tea and kombucha (and yes, the occasionally wine and cocktail). I've found that green tea though can be confusing for people: they've heard it's healthy, but aren't quite sure why. They tried it once, but it was super bitter. They want to try it again, but aren't sure what's the best kind to try or how it's different from black tea or other teas. Oh, and what's matcha again?
Green tea has a reported myriad of health benefits, some of which are backed up by studies. Green tea is rich in anti-inflammatory flavonoids which may reduce plaque build up in arteries. Other studies have shown green tea to help fight and prevent cell damage, improving blood pressure, block the formation of plaques that are linked to Alzheimer's disease and even keep blood sugar stable in people with diabetes. The strongest evidence for green tea appears to be in relation to heart health.
Green tea can also be a healthy addition to your diet in a more holistic sense. Often people use it to replace coffee if they are looking to lower their caffeine intake and reduce stress hormones or to replace sugar-sweetened beverages like sodas or higher calorie drinks like lattes. Also green tea can serve as a calorie-free pick-me-up in the afternoon (or pre-workout) that takes the place of our usual sugary or carby snacks. In this sense, the health benefit is in what the tea is replacing, not what is in the tea itself!
I try to drink tea before or between meals (instead of with them) since tea can bind to non-heme iron (the kind of iron found in plant sources). This probably isn't a big issue for most people since most Americans consume plenty of iron, but you can read more here.
Speaking of caffeine, there can actually be a huge range in the caffeine content in green tea, but overall it tends to be much less than coffee. According to Starbucks, their tall size (12 oz) blonde roast has 270mg of caffeine, whereas the Mayo Clinic reports than an 8oz cup of green tea averages 25-29mg of caffeine.
However, the caffeine content increases based on water temperature (hotter = more caffeine extracted) and brewing time (the longer the tea leaves are steeping = more caffeine extracted). Keep this in mind if you want to toggle the caffeine content up or down.
How is green tea different from black tea or other teas?
I used to give food tours at a store called TeaGschwendner in Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood. One fact that I shared that really blew people's minds is that all tea comes from the same plant! It's called the tea plant (duh) or scientifically, the cameliia sinensis plant. From that plant you get the four types of tea: white tea, green tea, oolong tea, and black tea.
While all those different tea leaves come from the same plant, they are distinguished by when they are plucked and how they are processed. White tea is basically just dried, green tea is lightly oxidized by steaming or pan-frying, oolong tea is more fully oxidized by rolling and bruising, and black tea is fully rolled and oxidized.
Just like other plants or even beverages like wine, you'll also get variations in the plant based on its variety, elevation, soil content, and regional differences and preferences in taste.
And while green tea is the variety that you hear about the most in terms of health benefits, other teas (white, oolong, and black) possibly have at least some similar health benefits because they come from the same plant. Many studies have simply focused on green tea or green tea extracts.
What are the different kinds of green tea?
Sencha: the most popular type of Japanese green tea comes from the first flush or harvest of the tea plant. The leaves are then steamed and dried and appear needle-like when dried and brew a cup of yellow-green tea that is herbal and astringent.
Bancha: this tea is taken from the regrowth after the first flush is taken for Sencha tea. It can be slightly more bitter and mellow and lower in caffeine than Sencha.
Gyokuro: this is similar to Sencha except 3 weeks before harvest, the tea plants are shaded. This creates a more nutrient-dense and stronger (as well as pricier) cup of tea.
Genmaicha: a mixture of green tea (bancha or sencha) and toasted rice. This tea has a warm and toasty flavor.
Hojicha: a roasted type of Japanese green tea that appears brown and has less astringency and more nuttiness and caramelly taste. It's often served with food and more appealing to non tea-drinkers.
Jasmine Tea: this tea is made by mixing green tea leaves with jasmine blossoms to impart their aroma. Jasmine tea is popular in China and also found in Japan and Vietnam.
How do you properly brew green tea?
Each type of tea that you buy will have specific brewing instructions and your best bet is to follow those. But as a rule, green tea is brewed at lower temperatures and for a shorter amount of time than most people expect. When it doubt, aim for water at about 175 degrees Farenheit and brew for 2 minutes only. If you don't have an electric kettle or thermometer, try boiling water and then letting it sit for a full 5 minutes before adding to the tea leaves.
What tools do you need for green tea?
This electric kettle is the best purchase that my husband and I made. Anyone who drinks coffee and/or tea everyday should invest in a kettle like this that can heat water incredibly quickly and to the precise right temperature. I have 2 of these tea pots with removable strainers that are easy to clean and stackable if you have minimal storage space.
Matcha is a green tea powder made of ground up tea leaves. Typically match is made from a type of tea similar to gyokuro that is shaded before harvesting to boost chorophyll production. That's how they get that brilliant green color.
The biggest different between matcha and steeped green teas is that when you make matcha, you whisk the powder into water and drink the whole thing so you are consuming more of the actual plant. This likely increases any medicinal quality of the tea as well as increases the caffeine content. (I can't handle coffee and matcha is usually too caffeinated for me too.) Matcha can also be added to desserts, baked goods, marinades and really anything in the kitchen.
What are good brands of green tea?
Of course, which brands to buy are all up to personal preference, but here are a few companies I love that are good resources for green tea.
Are you a tea lover like me? Let me know your favorite kind in the comments below.

European customers are boycotting British cars, says Jaguar Land Rover boss

Europeans have been boycotting British cars since the Brexit vote, according to the boss of the nation's biggest auto firm, Jaguar Land Rover. Dr Ralf Speth, chief executive of JLR, also joined senior figures at rival firms in warning that a hard Brexit would damage the car industry, which supports around 800,000 jobs.
Speaking at the Paris Motor Show, Speth said JLR's European sales team have reported customers turning their noses up at British cars after the vote to leave the EU. "They have the very first customers in their showrooms [who] clearly highlight that they don't want to buy British products any more," he said.
'It's blackmail really': Nissan employees on the Brexit compensation demand
But he warned that the car industry would feel the pinch much more in the event of a hard Brexit that results in tariffs being slapped on to goods traded with the EU. He said carmakers would face a double whammy as import tariffs force up the cost of the parts they buy from Europeans and higher export tariffs make JLR vehicles less affordable for Europeans. "If we face higher tariffs than anybody else, then it's quite clear that it's reducing the competitiveness of our products, especially in Europe," said Speth.
He said the exact cost to JLR could not be calculated, although reports this summer suggest that the firm believes it would miss out on £1bn in profit over 10 years if UK goods incur tariffs at the World Trade Organisation rate of 10%.
Speth said JLR had not changed its investment plans in the light of Brexit, but hinted that the company may have to spend its money elsewhere. "We have to realign all of our thinking and work on how to handle this Brexit best," said the German. Asked if that could include investment, he said: "Everything."
Speth's comments echoed similar warnings from a host of carmakers and the industry's trade body, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). Carlos Ghosn, Nissan's chief executive, said he could scrap a potential new investment in the UK's biggest car plant in Sunderland if the government refuses to pledge compensation for any post-Brexit tariffs. Toyota also warned that tariffs would hurt its UK production, while Volkswagen-owned Škoda called for swift clarity on the details of Brexit.
The SMMT also called on the government to do something to prevent an exodus of the UK's largely foreign-owned car firms. SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said: "The government must do all it can to maintain the competitiveness of the UK automotive sector, which has been hugely successful in boosting exports, creating jobs and generating economic growth in recent years."

A Spanish will can save your relatives time and money. Knowing more about Spanish inheritance tax means that you can plan more knowledgably how to leave your inheritance.
Making a will in Spain means that there will be no need for your benefactors to get an interpreter or have your will authenticated. This makes the process quicker and simpler for all concerned – An important factor at this difficult time. At Albir Abogados we can give you the advice you need to make a Spanish will work for you and your family.
2015 new EU regulation. Do I need to make a new Spanish Will?
"EU citizens habitually residing in Spain (residents) will be subject to the Spanish succession law, despite their nationality, unless they specifically state in their will the wish for the succession law of their country of origin to apply".
The new law applies from August 17th 2015, but is already causing concern in international communities.
People who have perhaps not heard about Spanish succession law before are now wondering what it is and how it might affect their inheritance plans.
Spanish succession law is very different to the inheritance laws in the UK, Norway, Denmark, etc… In the UK, for example, you can leave your property to however you wish. If you don´t make a will your property goes to your next of kin.
In Spain there is more external control over who inherits your belongings and we operate a system of "forced heirs".
We recommend that if you wish that your possessions are divided between your heirs according to your wishes, you should check your Spanish will and if necessary make a new one. Do not hesitate to contact our team of lawyers. They will be glad to help you.
The will should clearly state which inheritance law you wish to be applied to your will and contain the necessary clauses to execute it in that way.
Leaving a Spanish will can help inheritors at the time they need it most.

Baseball Greatness
A blog introducing readers to the book Baseball Greatness: Top Players and Teams According to Wins Above Average, 1901-2017, and including annual updates beginning in 2018.
The Hall of Fame ballot for 2019
In addition to the annual season update, below, it occurred to me that it would be interesting to use my methods to analyze the current Hall of Fame ballot based on my methods. A little introduction, or refresher for those who have read Baseball Greatness, is in order.
As many will recall, I defined a superstar season as a season of at least 4 Wins Above Average as I compute it. That, I found empirically, is the measure of how good you have to be to get an affirmative answer to the question, "If this guy were the best player on your team, is it likely that you could win the pennant?" To identify the greatest players I focused on how many times individuals had exceeded that threshold.
It turned out that both I and several generations of Hall of Fame voters have agreed, interestingly enough, that the key number, particularly for hitters, is 5 such seasons. Very few players with 6 or more such seasons are not in the Hall of Fame, and a number of those who are not are Gen Xers tainted by steroid accusations, led, of course, by Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens. The 29 players with exactly five such seasons include Phil Niekro, Cy Young (1901 and later), Stanley Covaleski, Rod Carew, Jim Thome, Dazzy Vance, Harry Heilmann, Goose Goslin, Charlie Gehringer, Joe Gordon, Jackie Robinson, Hal Newhouser, Joe Morgan, George Brett, Jim Rice, Tim Raines, Ryne Sandberg, Harry Hooper, and Tom Glavine--19 players who are in the Hall of Fame--and
Charlie Keller, Gil Hodges, and Wes Ferrell,. who are not in. This list also includes some people on this year's ballot, as we shall see.
On the other hand, 51 players have exactly 4 seasons of 4 WAA or more, and most of them are not in the Hall. The 17 of them who are in the Hall are Eddie Plank, Robin Roberts, Juan Marichal, Frank Chance, Rube Waddell, Frankie Frisch, Carl Hubbell, Luke Appling, Arky Vaughn, Robin Yount, Lou Boudreau, Bob Feller, Ralph Kiner, Duke Snider, Sandy Koufax, Tony Gwynn, and Kiki Cuyler. Long-time eligibles (or players who normally would have been eligible) in this category include Nap Rucker, Hippo Vaughn, Jack Fournier, Art Fletcher, Minnie Minoso, Ken Boyer, John Callison, Tony Oliva, Jose Cruz, Bobby Grich, Buddy Bell, Luis Tiant, Dave Parker, Willie Wilson, Jesse Barfield, Don Mattingly, and Brett Saberhagen, as well as a number of Gen Xers on this year's ballot. Hall of Fame voters pay far more attention to lifetime totals than they do to peak value, which I am focusing on, but in the aggregate it does seem that both methods tend to reach the same conclusions more often than not.
OK. Now it's time to rank the candidates on this year's ballot by seasons of 4 WAA or more. Here are the people most mentioned as possible candidates on this year's ballot.
Barry Bonds 17
Roger Clemens 12
Edgar Martinez 7
Todd Helton 6
Larry Walker 5
Mike Mussina 5
Curt Schilling 5
Roy Halladay 5
Sammy Sosa 5
Jim Edmonds 5
Andruh Jones 4
Lance Berkman 4
Manny Ramirez 4
Gary Sheffield 4
Scott Rolen 3
Fred McGriff 3
Andy Pettite 2
Jeff Kent 2
Roy Oswalt 1
Miguel Tejada 1
Mariano Rivera 0
Omar Vizquel 0
Barry Bonds' 17 seasons of 4 WAA or more ties him with Babe Ruth for top on the all time list, and Roger Clemens' 12 tops the list for pitchers. We all know why they are not yet in the Hall of Fame, and I am glad that I don't have to cast a vote on either of those two.
Moving down the list, it's fair to say that based merely on raw performance, Edgar Martinez and Todd Helton are overqualified Hall of Famers. With respect to Martinez, however, there is, I think, a catch. Martinez did not become a regular until he was 27, which is very late for a great player, and he had his first superstar season (5.1 WAA) when he was 29. He slumped badly during the next two seasons, and then, starting in 1995 when he was 32, he had six seasons of 4 WAA or more in seven years. No other great player has ever had his superstar seasons so concentrated in his late thirties, raising legitimate questions, in my opinion, about how Martinez managed it.
Moving down the list, we find that Mike Mussina, Roy Halladay, and Curt Schilling have 5 seasons each of 4 WAA or more, which is more than Sandy Koufax or Juan Marichal, and appears to make them overqualified selections. This however also raises a broader question about Gen X pitchers. No less than eight of them (Clemens, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and those three) had at least 5 seasons of 4 WAA or more, and that is way above any other generation. One is really forced to the conclusion that many of them managed to sustain peak performance for so long with the help of PEDs--but of course, there is no way of knowing exactly how many, or which ones.
Larry Walker, Jim Edmonds, and Sammy Sosa also have 5 seasons each of 4 WAA or more, which normally would qualify them for Cooperstown, although Sosa, for obvious reasons, is unlikely to make it. Edmonds was also something of a late bloomer. The example of Sosa, however, raises a critical point about evaluating Gen X players. They played in one of the highest-offense eras in history. Sammy Sosa hit 609 home runs to Frank Robinson's 586, but Robinson had 11 seasons of 4 WAA or more to Sosa's 5. Robinson was a much more dominant player who did much more to help his teams win pennants. We will run into this problem as we move down the list.
Thus, despite their often impressive lifetime totals of home runs and base hits, based on peak value and the contribution these players made to helping their teams win pennants, there is no compelling reason, in my judgment, why Gary Sheffield, Manny Ramirez, Lance Berkman or Andruh Jones should be in the Hall of Fame. Each of them topped 4 WAA only four times and as we saw above, most of the players from the past who had four such seasons are not in. Their lifetime totals also allow for some interesting comparisons. Manny Ramirez had 555 career homers to Reggie Jackson's 563, but Jackson had 9 superstar seasons (4 WAA or more) while Ramirez had only 4. Gary Shefiield's 509 homers rank between Mel Ott (511) and Eddie Murray (504), but his 4 superstar seasons trail Murray's 7 and Ott's 12. Jeff Kent, despite his home run totals, is not remotely comparable in his impact to second basemen like Rod Carew or Joe Morgan or Ryne Sandberg.
During the last half century we have invented a new stat, the save, and a new role, the closer. Both have caught the imagination of the press and the nation, and thus, we have concluded that lifetime leaders in saves and distinguished closers belong in the Hall of Fame. Now Mariano Rivera, as it happens, was the best reliever ever based upon WAA, with many seasons in the 2-3 range, but it is simply impossible for a closer to have the same impact on his team's fortunes as a great starting pitcher or hitter. Still, he is going in. As for Vizquel, it turns out that he, like Rey Ordonez, was very overrated as a shortstop--not bad, but nothing spectacular--according to Michael Humphreys' DRA, and other measures.
I shall look forward to the voting and will analyze the Veterans' Committee ballot if I can get information about who is on it.
Meanwhile, I would also like to alert readers to the appearance of my autobiography, A Life in History. It combines a detailed account of my education and career as an historian (and sabermetrician!) with a commentary on what has happened to higher education over the last half century.

Disaster Recovery. Protect your business today.
If you have undertaken our health and security check you will know exactly how to minimise security problems.
Other scenarios may cause damage to either your systems or the environment you work in. Although often far from our minds, disasters can and do occur. Under new data protection laws the repercussions of data loss can be even more serious than before.
Our priority is to ensure that you are up and running with the absolute minimum of disruption.
Jeffrey owns a medium sized accountancy business and is aware of his obligations under the data protection act. He has implemented systems to secure his data and was not overly worried by security issues. Last July he was on his annual holiday leaving the office in the charge of his very capable manager, Ian. Ian rang Jeffrey in a panic to say that the office administrator had opened an email containing a virus. All systems were down and the current IT support company thought that data may have been transferred externally.
Jeffrey's holiday was interrupted but there wasn't much he could do to help and he could not access any devices. The current IT company were not treating it as a priority and seemed confused about getting the system back up and running again. Fortunately Ian asked a friend if they knew anyone who could help and they directed him to Logic. Systems were back within half an hour and Paul, our data security expert, restored all the data within two hours. After this we made several security recommendations and also provided training to Jeffrey's staff.
For those who have not yet addressed any security or back up issues, work involved in restoring systems could be extensive.
Talk to Logic to find out how we can help or ask us for more detailed information.
Business systems have never been more under threat than they are today. Fortunately there are many low cost solutions available to keep you safe.
Malware, hackers and old style viruses will all cause problems that are generally avoidable. From issues with data integrity and access, to keeping your team working and maintaining cash flow. If you secure your IT systems properly, you will save time, effort, money and reputation in the long run.

Preliminary support has been added to Lazyjack as of 1.3.5! Now, as of Kubernetes 1.13, the KEP for dual-stack is still under review, and only a few changes have been made to the code, but you can bring up a cluster in dual-stack mode. You will only see one family of IPs for pods displayed via "kubectl get pod", but if you look on the pods, you will see both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
I've already updated kubeadm-dind-cluster to support dual-stack for clusters brought up on a single node, using docker-in-docker, but now Lazyjack supports this too, on bare-metal nodes.
A second CIDR can be specified for the management and pod networks, by using the "cidr2" field, under the respective sections. You can specify one family under "cidr" and one under "cidr2".
The service network CIDR will specify which family is used for the service network. The KEP only supports a single IP family for service networks at this time.
Omit the DNS64 and NAT64 sections, which are not used in dual-stack mode.
The 'dns64' and 'nat64' operational modes are note specified under the opmodes field any nodes.

Q: Calllogs returning all logs calls as well as sms logs, how can i filter only call logs? I am trying to get all the Call-Logs excluding SMS but i get a merged list.
How can i filter call logs  for calls only?
I am using following code.
String[] strFields = {
            android.provider.CallLog.Calls.NUMBER,
            android.provider.CallLog.Calls.TYPE,
            android.provider.CallLog.Calls.CACHED_NAME,
            android.provider.CallLog.Calls.CACHED_NUMBER_TYPE,
            android.provider.CallLog.Calls.DATE
};
String strOrder = android.provider.CallLog.Calls.DATE + " DESC";

Uri calluri = Uri.parse("content://call_log/calls");
Cursor mCallCursor = getContentResolver().query(
            calluri,
            strFields,
            null,
            null,
            strOrder
);

I am using Samsung Note 2 for testing.

A: I have the same issue on both of my samsung devices.  Researching this issue indicates it is  problem with how samsung handles the android logs, it merges them.  Obviously this is incorrect and inconsistent behavior.  Note, an sms message cannot be deleted through the call log api, yet it can be retrieved through the call log api.

A: CallLog.Calls provides feature to clarify, Incomming, Outgoing and Missed. All type of CallLog.Calls where its get other records also.
See below code:
Cursor managedCursor = getActivity().getContentResolver().query( CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI,null, null,null, null);
            int number = managedCursor.getColumnIndex( CallLog.Calls.NUMBER );
            int name = managedCursor.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.CACHED_NAME);
            int type = managedCursor.getColumnIndex( CallLog.Calls.TYPE );
            int date = managedCursor.getColumnIndex( CallLog.Calls.DATE);
            int newcall = managedCursor.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.NEW);
            int callduration = managedCursor.getColumnIndex( CallLog.Calls.DURATION);
            int id = managedCursor.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls._ID);
        while ( managedCursor.moveToNext() ) {
            callNumber = managedCursor.getString( number );
            callName = managedCursor.getString(name);
            callType = managedCursor.getString( type );
            callDate = managedCursor.getString( date );
            isCallNew = managedCursor.getString(newcall);
            Date callDayTime = new Date(Long.valueOf(callDate));
            duration = managedCursor.getString( callduration );
            contactId = managedCursor.getString(id);

         // process log data...
                Log.i("Call Name-----", callNumber);
                String cType = null;

                 int cTypeCode = Integer.parseInt(callType);

                 switch(cTypeCode)
                     {
                             case CallLog.Calls.OUTGOING_TYPE:
                             cType = "OUTGOING";
                             break;

                             case CallLog.Calls.INCOMING_TYPE:

                             break;

                             case CallLog.Calls.MISSED_TYPE:
                             cType = "MISSED";

Building back better by reinvigorating Australia's National Wildlife Corridors Plan
With connectivity conservation one of the most effective ways to ensure a healthier, more resilient Australia post-COVID and the devastating 2019-2020 bushfires, the recent launch of IUCN's Guidelines for Conserving Connectivity through Ecological Networks and Corridors could not have come at a more pivotal time.
Science now overwhelmingly shows that interconnected areas managed for conservation are significantly more successful for conserving wildlife, landscapes and natural processes than isolated protected areas in a fragmented landscape dominated by human activity.
Several years in the making, the IUCN guidelines were developed by a specialist group of more than 100 managers and practitioners from 30 countries, including several of the Great Eastern Ranges' Directors. The aim of the effort was to establish definitions for connectivity conservation practice and to highlight applications at a global level. The guidelines identify 130 connectivity conservation projects underway around the world, using case studies on 25 initiatives, including the Great Eastern Ranges, to showcase effective practice.
Chair of the IUCN Connectivity Conservation Specialist Group (CCSG) and President of The Centre for Large Landscape Conservation – one of GER's global partners – says that, "Ecological connectivity conservation is rapidly emerging as a critical strategy to protect the dynamic processes that sustain nature in the face of habitat fragmentation and climate change. From wildlife corridors to swimways, these guidelines will help managers develop consistent and measurable practices that conserve the movement ecology of species and the flows of natural processes across landscapes and seascapes."
Deputy Chair of IUCN CCSG and President of the storied Yellowstone to Yukon Connectivity Initiative, Jodi Hilty, argues that, "To effectively conserve biodiversity we need to advance conservation at the scale that nature needs, and that means conserving ecological networks. Key components of these networks are ecological corridors that allow ecosystems to support movement of species and other life-sustaining processes on Earth. These Guidelines help society plan for a more connected future".
In an encouraging background to the publication of the guidelines, the House of Representatives of the United States Congress has recently passed the first-ever National Wildlife Corridor Conservation Act. States like New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oregon, and others are also adopting legislation related to ecological connectivity.
Australia already has a world-leading strategy for preserving and connecting habitat at the continental scale; The National Wildlife Corridors Plan: A framework for landscape-scale conservation. This visionary document, the first of its kind in the world, was adopted by our Federal Government in 2012 but to date has only had a faint influence upon formal policy. The release of IUCN's new guidelines, and the critical need to build back better post the pandemic, is a prime opportunity to reinvigorate our national wildlife corridors plan and ensure it is firmly embedded and implemented in future policy and practice.
The plan can provide a critical focus for government programs and enable rapid expansion of existing connectivity conservation initiatives such as the Great Eastern Ranges and Gondwana Link. A collaborative, landscape-scale approach to conservation that focuses on protecting, relinking and restoring habitats is the best chance we have of building resilience, and of ensuring our communities, wildlife, environment and economies recover and thrive in a rapidly changing climate.

Q: Why a linked list needs a start object when we initially already have "next" in the Node class? Why do we have to create a temp object named start in a linked list when we have initially created a const object named next in the Node class?
Here is my linked list code:
public class Node  {
    // here we have created "next" as an object of class Node
    // to make the node class as a reference class
    private int data;
    private Node next; // reference object

    //Constructor
    public Node(int data) {
         this.data = data;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Node start = new Node(22); //temp reference
        // Why do we have to create another object here "start"?
        start.next = new Node(33);
    }
}

A: If you mean why you need to create a new Node to add the next object and why you can't just give a value to the next object like start.next = 5, it's because the .next object is of type Node which doesn't match the integer type of 5.
What you can do, is to create a .next() function for the Node class.
this could be done like below:
class Node {
    private int data;
    private Node next; // reference object

     //Constructor
     public Node(int data) {
         this.data = data;

     public next(int value) {
         this.node = new Node(value);
     }
}

and now you can do this to add the next value to your linked list:
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Node start = new Node(22);
    start.next(32);
}

A:
Why we have to create temp object named start in the linked list when we have initially created a const object named next in the Node class?

It seems the static main function is creating confusion here: it is a static method that runs when there is no Node instance yet. This function starts with nothing.
It creates a first node instance with new Node(22). Obviously that new node reference needs to be maintained somehow, otherwise it will be lost. That is why it is assigned to a local variable start. This is not really a "temporary" variable. It is the first (and so far: the only) node of a list.
The next property of that node instance will initially be null, which means there is no second node yet in that list. You can picture it as follows:
 start
  ↓
┌────────────┐
│ data: 22   │
│ next: null │
└────────────┘

The program then continues to create a second node, with new Node(33):
 start             returned from new Node(22)
  ↓                 ↓
┌────────────┐    ┌────────────┐
│ data: 22   │    │ data: 33   │
│ next: null │    │ next: null │
└────────────┘    └────────────┘

Again that new node reference needs to be stored somewhere. As we apparently want to create a list with two nodes, we should append this new node to the one we created earlier. And so we assign that to start.next. This results in this situation:
 start
  ↓
┌────────────┐    ┌────────────┐
│ data: 22   │    │ data: 22   │
│ next: ────────> │ next: null │
└────────────┘    └────────────┘

But you still need start, otherwise these node instances are lost. So start is not temporary at all. It is the reference we need to access the first node in the linked list, and from there we can access the nodes the follow it, using the next reference.
The static main function is not really related with the Node class, and I think that brought confusion. It is a method that would normally be placed in another class. It runs when there is no instance of Nodeyet. It needs to create node instances to build a linked list. The next property serves to link individual nodes together, but the very first node reference will need to be stored in some variable. That is the role of start.

mDjiController
===============
 - Connect your DJI Remote Controller to your PC and use it to play simulators.
 - Currently confirmed working controllers: DJI Phantom 2
 - For Mavic Mini or a Python interface, take a look at [justin97530/miniDjiController](https://github.com/justin97530/miniDjiController)
 - For DJI Mini 2 or a Python interface, take a look at [usatenko/DjiMini2RCasJoystick](https://github.com/usatenko/DjiMini2RCasJoystick)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a program that connects to your DJI Phantom Remote Controller (RC),
reads the stick positions and tells Windows that position. A simplified, wannabe driver.

In use:
![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Matsemann/mDjiController/master/in_use.png)

Here I'm flying a DJI Phantom in HELI-X5 using mDjiController. Open up the image in big version to see the controller configuration.

Installation / Usage
------------

### For a thorough guide on how to get started, see this blog post: [Using a Phantom 2 DJI Controller in AirSim](https://timebutt.github.io/static/using-a-phantom-dji-controller-in-airsim/)

### UPDATE: Slaterbbx has added more features to this, you should also check out his fork of this here: https://github.com/slaterbbx/mDjiController

In order for it to work, the original drivers from DJI must be installed, and something called vJoy.

* Download mDjiController.zip from above ( https://github.com/Matsemann/mDjiController/blob/master/mDjiController.zip?raw=true )
* Download DJI WIN Driver Installer from here: http://www.dji.com/product/phantom-2/download
* Download vJoy from here: http://vjoystick.sourceforge.net/site/index.php/download-a-install/72-download

* Install both.
* Then connect your RC to your computer via USB and turn it on.

* Run mDjiController.exe, and select the correct COM port. By default you should try writing "3".
* For vJoy, write 1 unless you use vJoy already and have different configurations.

Then open a simulator and calibrate the controller.

How does it work?
-----------------

* It is possible to ask the controller for its status when it's connected. So this program continuously
	reads the status. It connects through COM. The output from the controller is just a list of numbers,
	but sampling many enough such lists it's easy to see a pattern for which number means what. The biggest issue
	was that the numbers are little endian encoded and uses two's complement, so it took some time to understand how
	each number behaved.

* vJoy is a virtual joystick that can be installed on your computer. Windows think it's a normal joystick. mDjiController
	takes the stick positions from the controller and tells Windows that this virtual joystick has the same positions.

TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------
* If something doesn't work, make sure you have enabled logging, it may tell you the error.

* COM can't connect
	Try with other numbers instead of 3. Open up device-manager.
	You should see a category named "Ports (COM & LPT) and then a device named "DJI USB Virtual COM (COMX)"
	The X should be the number you should use.
	If there is nothing there, the driver from DJI is not installed correctly.

	If you have any of the DJI Assistant Software installed, make sure they are not running, as this program
	cannot connect then.

* vJoy can't connect
	The error message should tell you if it's installed or not. Install the vJoy driver if it's not there.

* Not all sticks or buttons work
	*If they look correct in the log:*
	Your vJoy configuration may be wrong. Open "Configure vJoy" and reset configuration 1, or make a new one
	and tell mDjiController.exe to use that configuration.
	*If they are NOT correct in the log:*
	Your controller sends in a different format, so you need to figure that out, edit the code and recompile.
	(A bit advanced)

With the last Champions League game-week long-forgotten about, both Juventus and AS Roma were hoping for better mid-week games this time around as they went up against Olympiakos and Bayern Munich respectively.
It was the Greek and the German side that ran out winners last time the pairs met, with Olympiakos winning 1-0 in Greece over Juventus, while Munich thumped Roma in Italy 7-1.
This game-week saw the reverse fixtures as Juve hosted the Greek champions, and Roma travelled to Germany looking to set the record straight against German giants, Bayern Munich.
Here is how they both got on - click below to get started.
