Samsung, a leading mobile phone brand in Nigeria, is currently marketing some of her high performance mobile phones in the country. Some of the prominent ones include the G800, D880 and the J700. These mobile phones, like all Samsung mobile phones in, are designed for great performance and are packed with lots of features.
Samsung G800 was the first mobile phone to come with a built-in 3X optical zoom digital camera. The built-in digital camera in the G800 is a 5 Megapixel camera and comes with xenon flash. This handset comes with lots features that can enhance your picture quality and clarity and can replace a stand-alone camera in lots of applications.
Samsung G800 is a UMTS 3.5G mobile phone but also supports tri-band GSM (900, 1800, 1900MHz). It has a 2.4'' TFT 262K colour screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. Editing your video is easy simply cut, paste and edit and you have your own video film. The G800 comes with a 160MB internal memory for storing your media and a microSD memory card extension.
Samsung G800 supports the state of the art High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) high speed internet. This simply means faster browsing and media download time. HSDPA support will also enable faster media streaming for TV broadcast and video and audio streaming. However, to use the HSDPA feature of the G800 you must be connected to a 3.5G network like the Glo 3G plus by Glo mobile or the 3.5G from MTN Nigeria. Outside a 3.5G network you can connect to the internet via 3G, EDGE or GPRS. Other internet technologies supported by this handset include mobile blogging and RSS feeds.
Another great handset promoted by Samsung in the country is the D880. D880 was the first Samsung mobile phone with the dual SIM feature. The dual SIM feature empowers you to connect two SIM cards in your D880. This will make it possible for you to connect to two different GSM networks. The primary SIM is tri-band (GSM 900/1800/1900 MHz) and supports all services while the secondary SIM is dual-band (GSM 900/1800 MHz) and supports only telephony and messaging services.
The Dual SIM capability is the greatest selling point of D880. With some Nigerians carrying two or more mobile phones due to poor network connectivity, Samsung D880 is a bound to sell.
Another great selling point of the D880 is its relatively large 2.3'' TFT, 256K colour screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. This will enable you view your pictures taken with the built-in 3.15 Megapixel digital camera in lively colour. You can also view videos taken with the same camera.
Samsung D880 supports up to 2GB microSD card extension slot, but comes with 60MB internal memory. It also has a TV out port, document viewer, voice memo and a built-in hands free feature. Samsung D880 has a business card reader application and comes in a Noble Black colour.

Where To Get Your Vehicle Repaired – As Well As NOT...


I searched the forum with a few different words and couldn't come up with anything. I would like to repaint my calipers, or have them repainted.
Should they be powder coated or just high temp paint?
What is done about the Porsche emblem on the caliper?
There was a really good article in the Panorama if you are a PCA member. Probably within the past year or so.
I don't think I am a PCA member, but I did come across some info on the 996 forum. It seems that powder coating is the way to go.
Still not sure about getting the decals back in there.
Be sure to measure the oem ones and pick white!
Might have to do mine. What paint? Does it need to be heat proof?
There are some DIY articles on 6speed or Renntech. You use duplicolor caliper paint. It works well, i did it on my previous 996.
Powder coating would be best but costs a lot more.
Several posts on the 996 forum revealed that most paints other than powder coat turned black or brown if used on a track.
I couldn't verify that powder coating doesn't do this because no one had powder coated.
If I am going to do it, I want to do it so it will be closest to OEM durability.
Powder coating is advised against by Porsche and specifically prohibited by Brembo. I did a bunch of research when getting ready to rebuild the brakes on my Rturbo and spoke with Brembo directly. Contrary to popular belief and my surprise, Brembo Italy does not powder coat but rather paints all their calipers. They will not tell you what product they use as it is proprietary. As far as painting calipers, the only way to do it properly and have a durable finish is to remove the calipers and completely strip them down to bare metal to get proper primer/paint adhesion. The article where the guy repainted the calipers in the Panorama magazine is a joke and will be of a temporary nature at best especially if you track your car and really heat up the calipers. The DIY at home repaint may be OK for a sunday driven cars n coffee garage queens but anything more demanding will make the paint fail. In the end, after talking to a bunch of people, I ended up removing my calipers, draining the fluid, flushing them with alcohol and sending them off to Eli in the LA area (323) 262-7365 for a refinish. For about $600 they will strip, refinish, bake, apply decals and clearcoat. I have since received the calipers back and the finish was excellent. In addition, I have completed several track events where my caliper temps have exceeded 400F and the finish is as perfect as they day they were put on. The only caveat is, when you send the calipers off to get sandblasted, make sure you plug all the holes carefully as you don't want any of the sand blasting media to get inside them. Ask me how I know. I ended up taking the calipers apart to change to seals anyway so it was no huge deal but just a word of warning. Also, tell them NOT to paint the are under the mounting flange, caliper mounting bolts, and the brake pad bolt head.

For $600 you could repaint every year and be ahead in money and time. It just depends how much of a perfect result you can live with.
Gus, check out Tim's DIY he posted here on RL a few years back. His userid is gota911.
That said I have a complete set of calipers for sale with 15k easy miles ,decals clean and white.
Looking to stay with red, just want mine to shine more.
Since the OEM finish has held up to track temps for those that track their cars, I don't want to compromise that level of durability.
I am waiting to see if the duplicolors and OTC parts store paints hold up.

Calgary Family Develops Software to Help Put an End to Texting While Driving
by Usman Qureshi – Fri, September 6, 2019
In an effort to help end the deadly consequences of texting while driving, a father and daughter team from Calgary has developed a software called "Safe Halo" that disables the driver's phone while the vehicle is in operation. As Global News reports, David and Brooke Moir know their invention has the potential to save countless lives.
Brooke, a co-founder of 4D Driving Technologies, told the publication that the year she graduated from high school, their community was hit hard with two accidents back-to-back. "It is hard. You get lost in logistics of it all and it brings you back to, this is why we are doing this," she said.
She explained that Safe Halo works with a device that's installed underneath the steering column of the vehicle. When the car is in motion, the device sends a signal to the driver's smartphone with a companion app installed, rendering it inoperable except for 911 calls.
"We are so conditioned to believe we need access to our phones at all times during the day," Brooke said. "When my Safe Halo is engaged, I can push buttons on my phone but nothing is happening. I can't text, can't read texts, can't surf social media."
"It's like a micro geo-fence in a car. We are dealing with a 36- to 42-inch area where the driver's seat is and we are able to have that area cordoned off so the driver can't use their phone in there and the passenger can," David said.
Safe Halo is expected to become available before the end of the year on a subscription-type basis for about $100/year.

The clients of our business practice can come from all kinds of fields.
Off and on, the financial sector has been the centre of attention. Especially since the start of the global financial crisis, society has demanded more transparency and control. Supervision is intensifying: the Central Banks and Finance Ministries are increasingly using their authority. New laws and regulations are being introduced not only in Indonesia but also at a global level. In this interaction of forces, the banks, corporations and individuals are searching for a new and durable balance.
The interpretation of new legislation and regulations for suppliers and customers of financial products and services; drafting and updating documentation according to the new rules; meeting licensing requirements and the correct implementation of operational procedures. AdvintA ∞ Consulting follows the developments in legislation and compliance to give our clients the best advice about the legal and financial implications.
The healthcare sector in Indonesia is facing a significant number of changes. These changes concern not only the industry itself, but also the insurance sector and the legal framework. Changing laws and regulations form a challenge for all stakeholders.
AdvintA ∞ Consulting is following these changes closely. Law issues such as insurance coverage, general liability, liability of the treating physician and disputes between hospitals, insurers or patients often play a role in the care industry. Within this scope, we can represent the interests of healthcare institutions and supervisory boards, but also those of patients and client councils.
In the industrial sector and the world of trade, market conditions change continuously. This creates unpredictable circumstances, but also plenty of opportunities.
AdvintA ∞ Consulting recognizes that the dynamics of the business world generates new forms of business transactions, leading to numerous legal issues.
We provide legal documentation services, among others in the field of contracts, permits, distribution, cross-border transactions and product liability, taking into account the applicable legislation and regulatory regimes.
Besides domestic clients, we also assist foreign companies who do business in Indonesia.
Our services stretch further then knowledge and interpretation of the Indonesian law; in addition we advice and inform clients on government procedures and common business practices in Indonesia. In doing so we look beyond what the Indonesian law dictates: we also address potential pitfalls and possible gaps to present the best solution or if necessary to propose an alternative strategy.
Legal issues for organizations operating in the non-profit sector, often have to do with the appropriate qualification and structure of the foundation or association. It is essential that the organization qualifies for (international) subsidies and (tax) exemptions in order to carry out its mission the best way possible without violating the applicable legislation.
Also changes in direction, the composition of the staff and the interaction between volunteers are factors which create an explicit need for safeguarding the organization's integrity and compliance.
Non-profit applicants or recipients of government grants or contracts need to comply with specific reporting and accountability rules to avoid abuse of funds.
AdvintA ∞ Consulting can help you in identifying the requirements and implement the rules that are specific to your category. We also give legal assistance when there is uncertainty or disagreement within your organization or with third parties.
For us it is most rewarding when at the end of the day we know that a charitable or social goal was advanced by our legal work.

Epimyrma kraussei é uma espécie de formiga da família Formicidae. É endémica da Itália.

Taxonomia
Tanto a classificação como a amplitude da espécie E. kraussei tem sido alteradas ao longo do tempo. Durante muito tempo foram reconhecidas as "espécies" Epimyrma vandeli e Epimyrma foreli, que vieram a ser consideradas como sinónimos júnior da E. kraussei.

Biologia
A E. Kraussei é uma formiga parasita que tem como hospedeiro a espécie Leptothorax recedens. A rainha E. kraussei, quando invade um formigueiro, mata a rainha L. recedens, havendo apenas uma rainha E. kraussei por formigueiro (excluindo as suas filhas que ainda não abandonaram o formigueiro). Quando várias rainhas invadem o mesmo formigueiro, acaba por apenas lá ficar uma e as restantes vão-se embora. Embora a rainha E. kraussei quase só produza descendência sexuada (machos e futuras rainhas), produz também um número reduzido de obreiras (frequentemente havendo menos que 10 por formigueiro), que por vezes são capazes de capturar escravos. Assim E. kraussei parece ser uma forma intermédia entre as formigas esclavagistas e as formigas parasitas sem obreiras.

Q: How to make my in-the-office server available online? I have a server in the office, with a local IP address (192.168.1.15). The server is connected to Internet, but doesn't have a real IP address (it's just a simple DSL connection). I have another server at rackspace.com, which has a real IP address and a domain name.
Now I want to make my HTTP website hosted locally to become available online, through the rackspace server. I think that I need to setup a VPN connection from local to public server and then setup a HTTP tunnel or something similar. Can you give a link to the documentation I need to read? It's Ubuntu in both servers.

A: You would need to set up a VPN tunneling connection. I would recommend using OpenVPN - it deals well with dynamic IP addresses and NAT, is secure, relatively easy to configure and has a package in Ubuntu which makes it a faster start. The ubuntu documentation site has a quickstart howto on configuring it. You would obviously need to set up the server part on your rackspace machine and the client part on your office machine.
After this is done and you have tested your connectivity, you would need something called a "reverse proxy setup" where a HTTP service running on your rackspace machine would forward all requests to your office machine webserver and hand the responses back out to the clients. HTTP proxy solutions like squid and popular web server software like apache or nginx support this mode of operation mainly used for load-balancing and caching by admins - but they will support your basic needs very well. If you want a fast setup with the least reading, I'd recommend going with nginx.
Edit: you have to consider the security implications of this setup as well. Do it wrong and you're inviting attackers to your internal network. As a general rule for the security concept, you would have to consider your 192.168.1.15 office server potentially harmful and make sure it can't wreak havoc when taken over by an attacker. Furthermore, you should make sure that your VPN connection does not allow anything but access to port 80 of your internal web server (typically by using iptables rules on your office server) - this way the potential rackspace server hacker would only be able to abuse nothing more but the web service.
Edit #2: technically, it is also possible use a simple port forwarding rule from your rackspace host, but this will have several disadvantages making it a poor choice. For one, you will not be able to do useful IP address logging at your web server as all packets will arrive with the source IP address from your rackspace host and having no further information about the request origin - reverse proxies work around that by adding an X-Forwarded-for (or similar) header to the requests which can be used for the logs. Additionally, you would end up directly exposing your internal webserver to "the evil net" thus significantly widening the attack surface.

Solar and renewable energy classification
admin on August 2, 2021 • 0 Comments • Tags: #renewableenergy #solaractivity #sunradiation
Everything grows by the sun. The earth's wind energy, water energy, ocean temperature difference energy, wave energy and biomass energy, and part of the tidal energy all come from the sun; even the fossil fuels on the earth (such as coal, oil, natural gas, etc.) are fundamentally speaking Solar energy stored in ancient times. The sun is a self-luminous celestial body closest to the earth. It brings light and heat to the earth. The sun's activity comes from its central part, where the central temperature is as high as 15 million degrees Celsius, where nuclear fusion takes place. Solar energy is the energy produced by the continuous nuclear fusion reaction process inside the sun. Fusion produces energy and is released to the surface of the sun, emitting light and heat through a process of convection. It takes millions of years for the energy from the core of the sun to reach its surface, thus enabling the sun to shine. So far, the age of the sun is about 4.6 billion years, and it can continue to burn for about 5 billion years. Therefore, it can be said that solar energy is an inexhaustible and inexhaustible energy source. The total annual energy consumption in the world is only equivalent to the energy projected by the sun on the earth's surface within 40 minutes. The solar radiant energy comes from its internal thermonuclear reaction, and the energy converted per second is about 4X1026J, which is basically emitted in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The sun is usually regarded as a radiator with a temperature of 6000K and a wavelength of 0.3 to 3.0 μm, and the distribution of radiation wavelengths ranges from the ultraviolet region to the infrared region. Although the solar radiation energy received by the earth is only one-two billionths of the total radiation energy emitted by the sun into space, the solar radiation energy reaching outside the earth's atmosphere is between 132.8~141.8mW/cm2, which is affected by the atmosphere. After reflection, scattering and absorption, about 70% of it is projected to the ground, but it is already as high as 1.73X1015W; that is to say, the energy that the sun shines on the earth every second is equivalent to the energy of 5 million tons of coal burning, which is the global energy consumption Tens of thousands of times.
According to the characteristics of energy utilization, energy is divided into renewable energy and non-renewable energy. Renewable energy refers to energy sources whose raw materials can be regenerated, such as wind energy, bioenergy, geothermal energy, hydropower, and solar energy. Renewable energy does not have the possibility of energy exhaustion, so it is increasingly being valued by many countries, especially countries with energy shortages.
(1) Wind energy
Wind energy is the kinetic energy generated by a large amount of air movement on the earth's surface. Due to the different temperature changes and the
The content of water vapor in the air is different, which causes the difference of air pressure in various places. In the horizontal direction, high-pressure air flows to low-pressure areas, that is, wind is formed. Wind energy resources depend on the wind energy density and the available wind energy accumulation time (hours). Wind energy density is the wind power available per unit area facing the wind, which is proportional to the power of the wind speed and the air density. It is estimated that the world's total wind energy is about 130 billion kilowatts. Wind energy resources are greatly affected by topography, and most of the world's wind energy resources are concentrated in the shrinking areas of coastal and open continents. In nature, wind is a renewable, non-polluting and huge reserves of energy. With the global warming and energy crisis, all countries are stepping up the development and utilization of wind power, minimizing the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, and protecting the earth on which we depend. There are two main forms of wind energy utilization: wind energy as power and wind power generation, of which wind power is the main form.
(2) Bioenergy
Bioenergy is a form of energy stored in organisms in the form of chemical energy from solar energy, a kind of energy with biomass as a carrier, which directly or indirectly originates from photosynthesis of plants. Photochemical reactions are different from thermochemical reactions. As long as the wavelength of light can be absorbed by the substance, it can still proceed at lower temperatures. The most common photochemical application is the photosynthesis of green plants. Through the photosynthesis of plants, solar energy synthesizes carbon dioxide and water into organic matter (biomass energy) and releases oxygen. Photosynthesis is the largest conversion of solar energy on earth. The fuel used by modern humans is Solar energy fixed by photosynthesis in ancient times and today. At present, the mechanism of photosynthesis is not fully understood, and the energy conversion efficiency is generally only a few percent. The study of its mechanism has great theoretical and practical significance.
(3) Geothermal energy
Geothermal energy is natural thermal energy extracted from the earth's crust. This energy comes from the lava inside the earth and exists in the form of heat. It is the energy that causes volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. The temperature inside the earth is as high as 7000°C, and at a depth of 80~100km, the temperature will drop to 650~1200°C. Through the flow of groundwater and lava flow to the upper ground 1~5km of the crust, the heat is transferred closer Ground place. High-temperature lava heats nearby groundwater, and this heated water will eventually seep out of the ground. The simplest and most cost-effective way to use geothermal energy is to directly use these heat sources and extract their energy. Utilization forms of geothermal energy: ①200~400°C direct power generation and comprehensive utilization: ②150~200°C dual-cycle power generation, refrigeration, industrial drying, industrial thermal processing; ③100~150°C dual-cycle power generation, heating, cooling, industrial drying , Dehydration processing, recovery of salt, canned food: ④50~100C heating, greenhouse, domestic hot water, industrial drying; ⑤20~50°C bathing, aquaculture, livestock breeding, soil heating, dehydration processing. In order to improve the utilization rate of geothermal energy, many countries now adopt cascade development and comprehensive utilization methods, such as combined heat and power, combined heat, power and cooling, and first heating and then breeding.
(4) Hydropower
Hydropower is a kind of renewable energy and clean energy, which refers to energy resources such as kinetic energy, potential energy and pressure energy of water bodies. In a broad sense, hydropower resources include river hydropower, tidal hydropower, wave energy, ocean current energy and other energy resources; in a narrow sense, hydropower resources refer to river hydropower resources. Not only can water be used directly by humans, it is also a carrier of energy. Solar energy drives the water cycle on the earth and keeps it going. The flow of surface water is an important part. In areas with large drops and large flows, hydropower resources are abundant. With the decline of fossil fuels, hydropower is a very important and promising alternative resource. At present, hydroelectric power generation in the world is still in its infancy. Water movements such as rivers, tides, waves and swells can all be used to generate electricity.
(5) Solar
The solar energy received on the ground includes direct radiant energy and scattered radiant energy. The solar radiation directly received without changing its direction is called direct solar radiation; the solar radiation whose direction changes after being reflected and scattered by the atmosphere is called scattered radiation. In order to describe solar energy quantitatively, some concepts need to be introduced. When the earth is at the average distance between the sun and the earth, the total energy of the full spectrum of solar radiation received by the unit area of the upper boundary of the earth's atmosphere perpendicular to the sun's rays per unit time is called the solar constant. The value of the solar constant is 1353W/m2, and the common unit is W/m2. The influence of the atmosphere on the surface of the earth receiving sunlight is defined as atmospheric mass (AM). Atmospheric quality is a dimensionless quantity. It is the ratio of the path of the sun's rays through the earth's atmosphere to the path of the sun's rays passing through the atmosphere at the zenith angle. The vertical path of sunlight on the plane is 1. The AM value is different, the solar spectrum will have different changes. When the solar radiation intensity is the solar constant, the air quality is recorded as AMO, and the AMO spectrum is suitable for the situation on artificial satellites and spacecraft. The spectrum of air quality AM1 corresponds to the spectrum of the sun directly hitting the earth's surface (its light power is 925W/cm2). Figure 1 is the solar spectrum under the two conditions of AM0 and AM1. The difference between them is caused by the attenuation caused by the absorption of sunlight by the atmosphere, mainly from the absorption of ultraviolet light by the ozone layer and the absorption of infrared light by water vapor, and Scattering of dust and suspended matter in the air. In the figure, the solar spectral irradiance Eλ= dE/dλ, where E is the solar irradiance per unit wavelength interval, given the wavelength λ. These characteristics of the solar spectrum are a very important factor for the selection of solar cell materials.
Figure 1 AM0 and AM1 solar spectrum
Solar activity is closely related to some phenomena on the earth. Now, people have found that solar activity has a significant impact on the earth in the following aspects. The solar flares and sunspots have significant geophysical effects on the ionosphere, magnetic field, and polar regions of the earth, which affect the terrestrial short-wave radio communication, even short-term interruption, which is called "sudden ionospheric disturbance." These reflections appeared almost simultaneously with the outbreak of the large flare. The magnetic field descends along the lines of magnetic force and collides with the gas of the chromosphere layer, causing the heel parts of the magnetic lines of force on both sides of the neutral line to glow and become a flare that people see. The flares themselves are the result of unstable magnetic fields. It is precisely because of the non-equilibrium state of the magnetic field that the flare erupts to achieve a new balance of the magnetic field. The flare eruption process is also a process of releasing a large amount of energy. Larger flares have an explosion temperature of tens of millions of degrees or even hundreds of millions of degrees, and they emit strong X-rays, ultraviolet rays, and high-energy protons. These strong radiation rays increase the pressure of hydrogen atoms, causing hydrogen atoms, ions and other particles to be ejected at a speed of more than 1000km/s and become the sun's particle radiation. The phenomenon of "magnetic storm" shows that the entire earth is a large magnetic field, and the surroundings of the earth are full of magnetic field lines. When a flare appears, high-energy particles are emitted from its vicinity, and a magnetic field is generated when the charged particle moves. When it reaches the earth, it disturbs the original magnetic field and causes changes in the geomagnetism. When a magnetic storm occurs, the intensity of the magnetic field changes greatly, which will have a great impact on human activities, especially work related to geomagnetism. The phenomenon of the sun affecting the earth is also the phenomenon of aurora: in the north and south latitudes of the earth, at night or even in the daytime, light green, red, pink bands or arcs of light can often be seen in the sky, called aurora. This is because when the stream of charged high-energy particles from solar activity reaches the earth, they rush towards the polar region under the action of a magnetic field, which excites or ionizes molecules or atoms in the upper atmosphere of the polar region to produce light. The sun's far ultraviolet and solar wind will affect the density of the atmosphere. The change cycle of atmospheric density is 11 years, which is obviously related to solar activity. Solar activity may also affect atmospheric temperature and the ozone layer, which in turn affects the yield of crops and the balance of natural ecosystems. Because solar activity has an impact on humans, especially in aerospace, radio communications, meteorology, etc., studying solar activities, especially the law of solar flares, and trying to predict, is of great value to the use of solar energy.

What do our people need? A Sense of Community and Belonging
A Reflection - Life Lessons, General Information, Happiness, Health, Work Life Balance
A few days ago I was privileged to attend a conference that focused on our veterans, the issues they faced after discharge from service, their expectations, their feelings of social isolation, and how, together, we could provide resources and opportunities to improve their quality of life.
I came to a conclusion after just the first speaker at the event: The discussion presented described not only to the experience faced by our veterans, but could be applied to every member of our society, no matter what state or city they live.
As you read on, I am confident that you will agree that the Enjoy Life Community® program developed by the Time to Play Foundation provides a valid solution to address many of the issues being faced today, not only by our veterans, but by a majority of our youth and our people.
Perhaps it is time for the people within our communities to stop just "existing" and "surviving" and to start "living".
The first speaker at the event was a Vietnam Veteran and a chaplain. For the purposes of this article, we will call him Mr. O.
He presented how a soldier is trained and embraced into duty and described what becomes missing in their lives upon return to civilian life after discharge.
#1: A sense of purpose: Mr. O explained that, when a soldier is in active service, they have a "job". He explained how the soldier is important in that job, how the members of service "liked" them in that job, and how the armed forces wanted the soldier to succeed in that job.
#2: A sense of community / belonging: Mr. O discussed the soldier's sense of community and belonging while on active duty and how the soldier knew who they were and where they stood with the others in their command (community).
#3: A sense of Intimacy: Mr. O described the sense of intimacy felt by the soldier in their command. He explained how soldiers not only knew the members of their command (community), but how they stood by each other and supported each other.
Mr. O noted that, after the soldier left active service, they no longer felt this sense of community, of belonging, of purpose, or of importance; that, upon discharge from service, they no longer felt the sense of intimacy or sense of value.
Mr. O noted that there is no system to integrate the soldier back into their home community, and that, without their military unit's support, they cannot "get home".
Mr. O said that this is when the dilemma of "where do you belong when you no longer belong" sets in, which is when, he noted, that many soldiers turn to drugs or alcohol to find a sense of comfort. He described his experience talking to incarcerated veterans who feel more comfortable in jail because they are around people who understand them.
Mr. O said that the feeling experienced by veterans becomes most disturbing when no one understands them, when no one understands who they are, and when they no longer have a voice. He described how these become the feelings that breed the feelings of hopelessness. He described how the soldier feels lost without the sense of values given to them and lost because what they believe is not what others believe.
It is, at that time, when the soldier feels very lonely and isolated.
After hearing Mr. O speak, it becomes evident how every person would benefit from being embraced by the community in which they live in the manner the armed forces embraces their soldiers.
Further, Mr. O noted that, years ago in our civilian communities, there were clubs and organizations and a sense of belonging in a community; that people socialized together. Now, he noted, people are increasingly socially isolated and not embracing of others.
As I imply that there are similarities in the feelings experienced by people who are not veterans, I am in no way minimizing the experience of those who have served. Thankfully, the general population has not seen the circumstances of war that many of our returning veterans have experienced, and I do acknowledge that our veterans may need support services and programs to face the resulting trauma.
But, think about it. . .
What community member is really integrated into our communities throughout their lives starting with our youth? What programs are available that help the general population feel "at home" or help them develop a sense of belonging or a sense of support? A sense of not being alone even if facing a negative life situation?
How many articles or events do we need to read about where those who feel "different", not supported, socially isolated or bullied adopt negative coping techniques including the utilization of drugs or alcohol or cause harm to themselves or others in their communities through violent acts?
I believe the need for self worth and the effects of social isolation are the same for every one of us.
I believe that, no matter where we live, WE ALL NEED a sense of community, a sense of belonging, a sense of purpose, a sense of importance, a sense of intimacy and a sense of being of value.
We all need a sense of community. We all need to belong.
The Enjoy Life Community® model presents a solution to all who live in any community. It will not only help our veterans re-integrate and feel welcome and at home, but the intention of an Enjoy Life Community® is to: Bring together all organizations and individuals in a community, encourage proactive community collaboration, utilize the community organizations to trickle information throughout a community, showcase the good work of community organizations to encourage participation by community members, identify areas where community participation is available to increase community involvement with the intention to decrease social isolation, and to utilize the strength and experience of community members in a community.
The Enjoy Life Community® model is a low cost social intervention that is a visible, non-threatening approach to create quality of life for those in a community.
The Enjoy Life Community® model provides a positive reminder and reinforcement to enjoy life by offering visible cues, establishing pride in a community, and encourages a focus on the positive and the possibilities.
It is a SOLUTION.
It is also important for me to mention here the fact many people do not proactively seek assistance when they are experiencing a negative life situation. The Enjoy Life Community®, due to its visibility of resources in the community, also offers an opportunity for a more proactive approach to solve this issue. Additionally, I believe the current system that provides individual counseling may perpetuate (continue) the individual's experience and current belief system. Even with outreach or counseling or support programs, the individual may remain isolated and continue to feel "unwelcomed" or segregated from their communities. That would potentially change in an Enjoy Life Community®.
The Enjoy Life Community® utilizes the resources and people in a community to make it stronger to enhance the quality of life for all.
The Enjoy Life Community® model can be applied to any community, including a school community, college campus or corporate environment to create the feeling that people are important and belong.
If you are interested in learning more about this easy to implement solution, please contact us at 631-331-2675 or email: doreen@timetoplay.com.
Just imagine the possibilities if people in their communities felt supported, not alone, and lived in a place where they were able to share or develop their talents.
After all, I believe every moment of every day should feel like "play". It is time to enjoy life. It is Time to Play.
Love, Doreen

Q: Python - Using a dictionary to check query and retrieve an answer So, as per a section of my code:
ValidInputs = ['wet', 'water', 'liquid', 'mobile', 'iphone']
root = Tk()
def iphone():
   while True:
     Problem = input('State your problem')
     ProblemSplit = Problem.split(' ')
     if any(Words in ValidInputs for Words in ProblemSplit):
        print('Put your phone in the fridge for about 30 minutes, it will remove the moisture inside of your phone')
        time.sleep(2)

This works, but inefficiently I believe. As you can tell for example, if I used the input to the Problem variable, and inputted 'my phone is wet', it's going to detect that wet is indeed in the list ValidInputs, but then it is going to print the same answer/solution every time. So if I added more acceptable entries to the ValidInputs list, I don't want it to always print the same 'put your phone in the fridge', etcetera.
So, how would I go about creating a dictionary with the format,
Query:Solution
So that if any words from problem split are in Query, print solution.
Any suggestions?
I've been having a go at this for around an hour now with no luck, I've been close but yet so far if you get what I mean, with my own research, but it's becoming tiresome, so,
Any help is appreciated.

A: Here's a minimal example of what I believe you are looking for.
solutions = {'wet' : 'put into microwave', 'ring' : 'hit with hammer', 'battery' : 'more jiggawatts'}

def find_solution():
    problems = input('State your problem: ').lower().split(' ')
    for problem in set(problems):
        if problem in solutions:
            print(solutions[problem])

while True:
    find_solution()


They joined their cousins and other members of the royal family at Buckingham Palace.
Prince George, 4, and Princess Charlotte, 3, are here to steal the show at another royal gathering. The siblings joined members of their family—including newlyweds Meghan Markle and Prince Harry—on the Buckingham Palace balcony today for Trooping the Colour, a grand celebration honoring their great-grandmother, the Queen.
The royal tots headed to the front of the royal balcony so they'd have a prime view of the Royal Air Force fly-past. There, they joined their young cousins Savannah and Isla Phillips (daughters of Peter Philips, Harry's cousin, and Autumn Philips).
Princess Charlotte wore a blue floral dress with a peter pan collar; it appeared to be the same one she wore for her visit to the hospital when her baby brother Prince Louis was born in April. She also sported a dainty red bow in her hair. The three-year-old kept an eye out before the planes flew over Buckingham Palace.
Prince George was in a white button-down shirt with blue lining and though we couldn't see the rest of his outfit, we assume he went with his trusty shorts for the occasion. He and his fellow royal yougins looked up as the planes went past.
Trooping the Colour may be honoring the Queen's birthday, but it's birthday season for the young royals, too. Charlotte just turned three on May 2, and George turns five next month, on July 22. Plus, the pair just welcomed a younger sibling, Prince Louis, in April. The six-week-old wasn't present for the event, considering his young age, but soon enough, he'll be on plenty of adorable outings with his big brother and sister.

Ulster Bank League – IRFU President's Message
It is my pleasure as President of the Irish Rugby Football Union to extend my best wishes to your President Sharon O'Buachalla and the members of Skerries RFC for the 2017/18 season and in particular your campaign in the Ulster Bank League.
Irish rugby's premier inter-club competition is now in its 28th season and continues to strengthen in its appeal and popularity. That the Ulster Bank League plays an important and positive role in the IRFU's domestic rugby programme is further highlighted by the increasing number of talented, ambitious young players who are emerging from the club scene to gain recognition at Provincial and National team level and on the Ireland Sevens' teams.
In its five division format, played on a home and away basis, greater interest is being generated and this has resulted in improved attendances in many clubs on big match days, further helped by the increase in the number of appealing "Friday Night Lights'' fixtures.
I am delighted on behalf of the IRFU for this opportunity to recognise and thank the huge army of volunteers for their commitment each season in the cause of their respective clubs. As Union President, I assure you that your selfless contribution to club rugby is acknowledged and greatly appreciated at Union and Branch levels.
As I share with you the exciting prospect of another stirring Ulster Bank League campaign, I outline the gratitude of the Union to Ulster Bank, the IRFU's Community Rugby programme partners. In addition to the League, its sponsorship also includes the Club International side, the Ulster Bank Bateman Cup, the Ulster Bank All Ireland Junior Cup and the Ulster Bank RugbyForce initiative.
Throughout the 2017/18 Ulster Bank League campaign: news updates, fixtures and tables will be available on www.irishrugby.ie/ulsterbankleague; on the Ulster Bank's Facebook page – www.facebook.com/UlsterBankRugby and the results on twitter@UlsterBankRugby. In addition, Irish Rugby TV will be broadcasting live games and highlights from matches on You Tube.
Meantime, good luck and best wishes throughout the season. It promises to be another memorable one for club rugby.
Philip Orr
President – Irish Rugby Football Union

Newly-Released GAO Report on Workplace Safety Among DOD Contractors Suggests Rampant Labor Law Violations
Lack of Labor Compliance by Companies With Large, Taxpayer-Funded Contracts Endangers the Safety of American Workers
Text of Report (PDF)
Washington, DC - The Government Accountability Office released a new report yesterday, as required by a 2018 defense bill provision secured by United States Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), indicating widespread, serious workplace safety violations among Department of Defense (DOD) contractors and gaps in DOD's process for reviewing prospective contractors' safety records.
DOD spends hundreds of billions of dollars each year on goods and services provided by contractors and subcontractors. Federal regulations require that contracts be awarded only to "responsible prospective contractors." However, some companies have been caught seriously endangering their workers while continuing to receive massive federal contracts. "52 of the selected companies were cited for a total of 195 serious violations from fiscal years 2013 to 2017," noted the GAO. "For some, but not all, of these serious violations, the related inspection data described accidents in which 7 workers died, 20 were hospitalized for severe injuries..."
These accidents included: "a hydrogen blast in a melting chamber resulted in one worker being pinned under a 20,000 pound lid, another receiving second degree burns, and a third being killed; a barge capsized after a crane tilted over, and one worker drowned; a worker fell 98 feet from an elevator and was killed; a worker sustained a fatal electric shock when replacing jumper wires on a high voltage transmission corner tower, and another worker was injured..." among other incidents, according to the report.
"The Defense Department's contract workforce contributes every day to our national defense and should never be at risk of exposure to unsafe and unhealthy working conditions," said Senator Warren. "The GAO's report confirms the Pentagon needs to crack down on its contractors who are breaking the law."
Congress recognized the urgency of addressing this problem by including Senator Warren's provision in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) requiring that the GAO study DOD's existing procedures for evaluating the workplace safety records of its contractors, also included in Senator Warren's Contractor Accountability and Workplace Safety Act. Senator Warren also previously wrote to the Undersecretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Navy to raise these concerns, citing numerous violations of safety standards by contractors, including the death and permanent injuries of workers at a shipyard that received hundreds of millions of dollars in Navy contracts.
Senator Warren has consistently fought to protect the safety of all workers, including those working for major defense contractors, through her legislative and oversight work. In March 2017, she led a group of Senators in pressing for a criminal investigation into a major shipbuilder that repeatedly violated workplace safety laws, resulting in workers' injuries and deaths. Weeks later, Congressional Republicans and President Trump repealed the "Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Executive Order," which required companies to disclose labor violations, a decision Senator Warren vigorously opposed. In summer 2017, she secured a commitment from Navy Secretary Richard Spencer to improve workplace safety among contracted shipbuilders.

Physiological changes in post-hatchling green turtles (Chelonia mydas) following short-term fasting: implications for release protocols
March, Duane, Ariel, Ellen, Munns, Suzanne, Rudd, Donna, Blyde, David, Christidis, Leslie, and Kelaher, Brendan P. (2019) Physiological changes in post-hatchling green turtles (Chelonia mydas) following short-term fasting: implications for release protocols. Conservation Physiology, 7 (1). coz016.

Relocation of sea turtle nests and the retention of post-hatchlings for head-starting programs are both commonly used to improve conservation outcomes and facilitate eco-tourism ventures. Currently, there is little literature surrounding the husbandry protocols required during these programs to optimize post-release outcomes. To assess the impact of varied feeding regimes on exercise performance, (which will hereafter be referred to as 'fitness'), 40 10-month-old captive post-hatchling green turtles (Chelonia mydas) were divided into four groups of 10 and fasted for either 3, 9, 10 or 15 h. The animals were then subjected to a fitness test via repetitive use of the 'righting reflex' on land. Health assessments were conducted prior to the fitness test, including; heart rate, haematocrit (Hct), heterophil to lymphocyte ratio and the measurement of 11 biochemical analytes, including pH, partial pressures of carbon dioxide (PvCO2) and oxygen (PvO2), lactate, bicarbonate (HCO3−), sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), chloride (Cl−), ionized calcium (iCa2+), glucose and urea. Results were corrected for multiple comparisons and significant differences among groups were demonstrated for temperature, pH, HCO3−, iCa2+, urea and lactate. To investigate physiological relationships between analytes, correlation coefficients were calculated between fitness and glucose, fitness and lactate, glucose and lactate, pH and iCa2+, pH and K+, pH and PvCO2, pH and HCO3− and Hct and K+. Following correction for multiple comparisons, significant relationships were seen between pH and iCa2+ and pH and HCO3−. Post-hatchling turtles appear to enter a catabolic state when exposed to short-term fasting. While this did not have a direct impact on fitness, the production of an intense energetic output from a catabolic state may induce a physiological debt. This study suggests that handling that induces a physical response should be minimized and animals should be fed within 10 h of release.

Want to know one of my favorite things about influencer marketing? I love the way it levels the playing field for niche brands who still want to make a big impact. With the introduction of social media, marketers everywhere have benefitted from the fact they're now able to have a stronger connection with their target markets. They could see what locations they were in, how they were interacting with each other, and who was influencing them. But perhaps no marketers benefit from this more than those with very niche targets. Whether those targets were data scientists in the midwest or cannabis influencers in northern California, finally niche brands got a glance into the hidden spaces their audiences existed in and how they could finally reach them.
More importantly, now that influencer marketing has taken over the game, brands with niche targets are rejoicing at the fact that they know how and where to reach their audiences, right there in their own space. Influencer marketing seems to be the perfect solution for these brands to reach this specific group of people in a successful and authentic way. But, before you can run a successful influencer campaign, you need influencers. Aftertall, finding people in your niche is one thing, finding INFLUENCERS in that niche is a whole other thing.
The open range of social media is a great place to find and target to your niche audience. Influencers at this point can seem like there's a dime a dozen – there's tons of fashionistas, and mommy and travel influencers on social media. But what about the influencers you need? Where are those blogging about horoscopes or science professors blogging about curriculums? If you're searching for a needle in a haystack … it's going to take time. Although Instagram is a huge space, you aren't always going to find an abundance of every influencer niche in any specific area of the country, especially not ones with good credibility and acceptable engagement. And keep in mind, the more niche you are, just like the more hyperlocal you are, the more time you need to give yourself to find the right people. So don't be surprised if your search takes more than a few days or even more than a few weeks to find the perfect influencers for your niche.
Searching for the right influencer can be tedious and frustrating, and it is possible that the perfect person you have in mind isn't out there. Consider opening up your search to some secondary choices. Look to new platforms like Twitter or Linkedin for influencers. Maybe if you are searching in small town, look to influencers in a big city nearby, chances are many of their followers live in that town closeby. Don't go looking for some big celeb in your space, look to micro, or maybe even nano influencers. Those with 500-5k followers that can authentically and passionately represent your brand. Chances are their engagement is higher than most celebrities anyway. The more barriers you put on your search, the more impossible it will appear to become.
To find the right people it will cost you. The time and energy it takes to find the right people for a niche campaign can be exhausting. Once you find someone with a voice in your space, remember, often times they are not professional influencers, especially if they are micro or nano. Response times could be slow and campaign drop out rates can be high. Are you sure they will even be interested? Have you made sure they're credible and that they haven't previously bought followers or likes? Searching and vetting influencers for niche campaigns is arguably the most difficult part and to get it done right and see results, you have to be willing to make an investment. If you're short on time or team members, this may be a point where it will really pay off to work with an influencer marketing vendor who can help ease these search headaches.
The good thing is when you do find the right influencer, you are more than likely going to truly connect with your target. We've talked about how you sometimes see a disconnect with influencers and their audiences, however, the more niche, mico, and hyperlocal you get, the more that disconnect fades away. If you are a micro Disney influencer then that is most likely the interest of your followers. And if you are a food influencer that reviews restaurants in a small city in New Jersey, then that is where most of your following will be too. The nicheness of your target might be a pain in the beginning, but once your campaign is running you are setting yourself up to find some genuine real engagement. And isn't that what influencer marketing is all about?
So don't give up, no matter how niche, there are ways to make a successful influencer campaign. You can always look to companies like Mattr, who are here to make it easier for you by doing that heavy lifting. As long as you prepare for the cost and give yourself enough time, creating a successful influencer campaign with a niche target is possible and can be very worth your while.

This week, I am dedicating my blog to an amazing Mom I am blessed to know throughmy homeschool group. I have been wanting to introduce her for a while…..and have not had the right opportunity. So, this week, she will 'own my blog' for four full days! I know you will be blessed by her sweet whispers and words!
"Write to encourage others." The faint whisper sounded in my heart. I ignored it. But it persisted, growing louder with each passing month.
"What encouragement do I have to offer others?" I wondered. "Besides, after editing other writers' words all day, I'm too exhausted to write my own." I countered.
The whisper continued through the angst and uncertainty of a high-risk pregnancy. When, against all medical odds, God blessed us with a baby, the whisper had wrapped itself around my heart and was there to stay. By the time my thirteen years of writing and editing with a non-profit came to an abrupt end in the economic down-turn, I couldn't escape the whisper.
I took tentative steps toward writing again: an article here, a devotional there. As ideas took shape, a book of devotionals for homeschooling parents, born out of the joys and challenges of my journey, flowed from my pen.
That faint whisper sounded in my heart four years ago. Since November 2009, my thirty queries for the homeschool devotional received twenty-seven rejections, and three acceptances. In April 2010, I signed a contract with Judson Press, medium-sized, traditional publisher.
Tears trickled down my cheeks in September 2010 as I typed the 180th devotional. A few days later, I sank to my knees and I lifted the 200-page manuscript heavenward in thanksgiving and dedication.
Now, more than a year after I signed a book contract, I'm humbled and excited that the whisper that sounded four years ago, and developed into a dream–a dream to encourage homeschooling parents, to provide practical, biblical inspiration for each homeschool day–will soon be a reality. School Is Where the Home Is: 180 Devotions for Parents is now available for pre-order at all major book retailers and will release on June 15, 2011.
This material is copyrighted © and cannot be used without prior written permission from Anita Mellott.
I can't wait to buy my copy. I have been looking for a book like this. Thank you!
So proud of you, Anita, for listening to God's whisper. Your book will bless and encourage many homeschooling parents.


Bob Coy, president and CEO of CincyTech, discusses the structures of the for-profit seed stage investment funds under management by CincyTech. They have $30 million under management across three seed funds – half of which comes from the state-funded Third Frontier program.

Noted horticulturist Luther Burbank (1849-1926) once described Sonoma County, California as "The Chosen Spot as far as all of Nature was concerned". Located about 50 miles north of San Francisco, it certainly has its share of good climate and natural beauty. Residents (like myself) and visitors alike enjoy the rugged bluffs and sweeping beachs along its coastline, its towering redwoods, pastoral dairyland, rolling vineyards, and of course, its world class wines!
The area is historically diverse too. The northernmost Spanish Mission was founded in the town of Sonoma while along its windswept coast lies Fort Ross - the southernmost outpost of the Russian sea otter fur trade during the mid 1800s.

EL PASO — Originally part of the Pueblo civilization in what is now central New Mexico, the Tiguas came here more than three centuries ago during the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, when the Europeans were driven south, first to Santa Fe and then to El Paso del Norte.
Accompanying the 2,000 Spanish survivors in the ignominious retreat were 600 Christianized Pueblo Indians, including 300 Tiguas. It would take the Spanish more than a decade to suppress the rebellious tribes to the north.
By then, some of the Pueblo Indians who had migrated south elected to stay in their settlements around the Corpus Christi de la Isleta Mission, which was built in 1682 and is the oldest continuously active mission in the country. It is now known as the Ysleta Mission.
In 1751, the king of Spain granted 36 square miles of land east of El Paso to the Tiguas, and some became self-sufficient farmers. Others served as scouts against hostile Indians, later proving valuable to the U.S. Cavalry and to the Texas Rangers as trackers and warriors in a drawn-out conflict with the Apaches.
Old black-and-white photographs of some of the great Tigua scouts — small, hard-faced men — adorn the walls of the tribe's modern fitness center in Socorro, but their heroism was soon forgotten.
Over the decades, almost all the tribal land east of El Paso was lost to acquisitive and aggressive white settlers, as well as tax foreclosures, forcing most Tiguas to become migrant workers and laborers.
The federal government, which had responsibility for Indian tribes, lost interest in the Tiguas in the mid-19th century, and more than 100 years would pass before they gained permanent federal recognition and the benefits it confers.
In 1967, the tribe was recognized by the federal government, which transferred trusteeship to Texas. Finally, in 1987, the state relinquished its recognition, and federal recognition was again extended to the Tiguas.

North Macedonia finds 41 migrants in van, arrests driver
SKOPJE, North Macedonia (AP) — Police in North Macedonia have discovered 41 migrants, including five children, in a routine police check on country's main highway and arrested the van's driver.
Police said in a statement Saturday that their patrol stopped the van in front of a toll station late Friday near the central town of Negotino. In all, 41 migrants from Cuba and India were discovered packed into the van.
Police arrested the 20-year-old van driver, a Serb citizen identified only by his initials as F.R.
The migrants were transferred to the main migrant shelter in southern border town of Gevgelija. They are believe to have entered North Macedonia illegally from Greece and will be deported back.
This is a second large group of migrants discovered in North Macedonia in the last six months.
The small Balkan country was once a main route for illegal migrants seeking to slip into wealthier countries in Europe. But with COVID-19 pandemic and strict border controls over the past year, Albania has now become more desired destination for migrants trying to slip in from Greece.

Sometimes, we need a friend to point us in the right direction. For 25 years now, when families living in Allegheny County have needed help, their local Family Support Center has been that helping friend.
Nearly 3,000 families receive services at one of the 28 centers located around the county. Many are medium and high-risk families with complex needs. A lot of participants are single moms who struggle to make ends meet or parents who struggle with substance use disorders. Others are families with child welfare involvement. The goal of the centers is to strengthen protective factors in families by focusing on child development and parenting education, and by helping families find connections and support in the community.
Each center partners with a lead agency that takes on implementation. Family Support Centers serve as hubs for families in various neighborhoods in the county. Parenting classes and support groups, home visits and check-ups, food assistance and connections to community resources are among the many services they provide. Because different lead agencies operate the centers, and the centers are located in distinct communities, services may vary from one center to another, but the core service areas remain the same: child health and well-being, positive parenting and child development, family preservation, economic self-sufficiency, and easy access to a comprehensive network of services.
While the centers can't be all things to all people, they can connect families who need help with expert assistance. They listen to the needs of the families and welcome input. "Centers are parent-driven and staff-involved. We expect parents to participate in decisions about locations, the services and activities provided as well as staffing," says Leslie Reicher from the Allegheny Department of Human Services.
One of these needs includes addressing addiction in the communities. Two of the centers recently partnered with POWER, a local organization providing recovery support to women in the community. They also have dedicated staff who conduct home visits to those affected by substance misuse. "There's a need. We don't want to pass addiction on to the next generation. We want to provide as much support as we can," says Holly Cherpak, director of the Steel Valley Family Center.
While the centers focus on providing children the health and wellness services they need while also helping moms and dads acquire skills that will make them better parents, they also play an important role in helping to prevent children from falling into the trap of addiction later in life. Healthy children coming from healthy homes can make a better life for everyone.
Family Support Centers was a featured award winner in the 2019 Innovation Now project of the Addiction Policy Forum.
