In the post-war period, the health risks posed by indoor environments have both transformed and challenged notions of environmental health centred on pathogenic germs. The composition of home spaces, particularly in developed nations, has been fundamentally altered by the introduction of formerly industrial chemicals to everyday products and building materials. Further, the changing nature of building design, cleaning practices and urban life have altered the 'microbiomes' of homes, contributing to a rise in certain immune system conditions. This paper contends that to begin to address these concerns, the microscopic elements of 'indoor ecosystems', and how they are created and maintained, must become a focal point for research. It proposes an approach that integrates social practice theories and multispecies ethnography to investigate the cumulative composition of indoor spaces. Findings detail the application of this approach to research into the domestic hygiene practices of parents with young children in Sydney, Australia. This approach highlights crucial assumptions about the ways micro-scale agency is embedded in everyday domestic practices that are contributing to sub-optimal indoor environments.

See Veteran Nigerian Actress, Hilda Dokubo, Who Has 53 Children
Veteran Nollywood actress, Hilda Dokubo, is popular for her soft and usually sorrowful roles in movies but not many people know that she is a mother to 53 children even though not all of them are her biological children.
Hilda revealed this recently during an interview which Punch newspaper where she spoke on many topics regarding her life including her lover for acting, teaching, holding a political post, her childhood, marriage and more.
When asked how she gives back to the society, she said: "I do this through trainings. I have 50 kids who are not my biological children. I have three biological children, but I've adopted 50 others.
"These children need support and I can give them that. What I do is pay their school fees, buy them clothes and give them food. I also help them find homes."
On why she reconciled with her husband after a long period of separation, the actress said: "Everything in life has stages and time.
"If I say I'm a Christian and love God, then I should be able to live a life that Christ would be proud of. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong in a relationship. We did it for ourselves, our children, others, but most importantly for God."
Hilda was born into a family of six children. Her late father was an engineer while her mum is still a school teacher. The screen diva studied Theatre Arts and Theatre Education.

Q: What is the area percentage of a ⌈square in a circle? What is the area percentage of a ⌈circle in a square? Useless Backstory:
I was trying to guess how many jellybeans were in a jar. If the jar was a glass cube or a glass box, I would just count width × length × height. With a cylinder however, I figure I could still use this method, but just minus the ratio of circle in square. So I became curious to see if the ratios were the same when reversed.

Take a circle, any radius. Now grow a square inside of it, until the four corners of the square touch the perimeters of the circle.
Will the area of the square always hold the same ratio to the area of the circle? If yes, what is that ratio?

Now vice versa
Take a square, any radius. Now grow a circle inside of it, until the circle perimeter touches each side of the square.
Will the area of the circle always hold the same ratio to the area of the square? If yes, what is that ratio?

A: The circle of radius R in the square of side C is such :
$ 2 R = C$
Area of the circle $\pi R^2$ , of the square $C^2$ , and the ratio of circle on square is :
and the ratio is :  $\pi \frac{R^2}{C^2} = \pi \frac{R^2}{4 R^2} = \frac{\pi}{4} $
If the area of the square is $100 cm^2$ , the circle will have an area of $\frac{\pi}{4} 100 cm^2 \approx 78.54 cm^2$
The square of side C in the circle of radius R is such :
$C^2 = R^2 + R^2$

similarly the ratio is :  $\pi \frac{R^2}{C^2} = \pi \frac{R^2}{2 R^2} = \frac{\pi}{2} $
If the area of the square is $100 cm^2$ , the circle will have an area of $\frac{\pi}{2} 100 cm^2 \approx 157,08 cm^2$

In re Croft
MONTRELL CROFT a/k/a MONTREL LASHUN CROFT a/k/a G-MONEY a/k/a MONTRELL LASHAUN CROFT a/k/a MONTRELL L. CROFT
STATE OF MISSISSIPPI
LAUDERDALE COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT HON. LESTER F. WILLIAMSON, JR. JUDGE
TRIAL COURT ATTORNEYS KASSIE ANN COLEMAN LISA J. HOWELL STEPHEN PAUL WILSON THOMAS GOODWIN BITTICK
ATTORNEY FOR APPELLANT OFFICE OF STATE PUBLIC DEFENDER BY: HUNTER N. AIKENS
ATTORNEY FOR APPELLEE OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL BY: JOE HEMLEBEN
BEFORE RANDOLPH, C.J., MAXWELL AND BEAM, JJ.
RANDOLPH, CHIEF JUSTICE
¶1. Montrell Croft, a/k/a "G-Money," was convicted of "participating in or conducting or conspiring" in illegal gang activity, possession of a firearm by a felon, and attempted murder in Lauderdale County Circuit Court following a jury trial. Croft now appeals. The Court finds that an instruction permitting a jury in a criminal case to find an element of a crime by a preponderance of the evidence constitutes plain error. Accordingly, we reverse and remand for a new trial on whether Croft "participat[ed] in or conduct[ed] or conspir[ed]" in criminal gang activity beyond a reasonable doubt. Croft's felon-in-possession and attempted-murder convictions and sentences are affirmed.
¶2. On September 23, 2015, Marcus Hall, a/k/a "Handy Dandy," was approached by a group of men including Croft, who witnesses testified was a ranking member of the "Rolling 60s Crips" gang. Croft told Hall, "you know you're fixing to die tonight; right?" Hall replied that he did not have a problem with the men. Another group including Kenzavion Woodard ("Kenza") approached Hall from a different direction. Kenza screamed Hall's name, then Croft shot Hall. Hall fell in a ditch as men in the groups continued to shoot at him. After firing multiple shots, the groups fled.
¶3. Hall received wounds to the abdomen and each thigh. A treating physician testified that any of the three wounds could have been fatal. Anthony Ball, a gang investigator with the Meridian Police Department, visited Hall in the hospital. Hall told Ball that "G-Money" was one of the shooters. Ball knew "G-Money" to be Croft. After Hall was released from the hospital, Ball had Hall look at group photos from the Rolling 60s Crips' Facebook page. Hall identified Croft as "G-Money" and identified three other assailants from the photos.
¶4. A grand jury returned a multicount, multidefendant indictment charging Croft and others with crimes related to the shooting of Hall. Count I charged Croft, Jimmy Marquez Johnson ("Johnson"), Emmitt Jordan, Ernest Scott, and Kenza with participating in, conducting, or conspiring in illegal gang activity under Mississippi Code Sections 97-1-1 and 97-44-19 (Rev. 2014). Count II charged Croft with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon under Mississippi Code Section 97-37-5 (Rev. 2014). Count III charged Croft, Kenza, and Johnson with attempted murder under Mississippi Code Sections 97-1-7 and 97-3-19 (Rev. 2014).
¶5. Croft pleaded not guilty. His trial was set to proceed with Kenza and Johnson as codefendants. Croft petitioned for appointment of counsel, which was granted. Croft then filed a pro se motion for release on bond. Croft's court-appointed attorney, Marcus Evans, then filed a motion for discovery. Croft's trial was reset three times over the course of months for various reasons, including substitution of counsel after Croft sought Evans's dismissal. Croft's second court-appointed attorney, Stephen Wilson, filed a motion to set bail. The trial court denied the motion because Croft was already on bond for a drug-trafficking charge in Alabama.
¶6. Croft subsequently filed a demand for speedy trial. Croft then filed his responses to discovery along with a notice of alibi defense.[1] Croft's trial was reset after the withdrawal of cocounsel for Croft's codefendants, Kenza and Johnson. Croft filed a motion to dismiss the indictment for violation of his right to a speedy trial and, alternatively, a motion to sever his trial from those of his codefendants. The trial court denied Croft's motion to dismiss but severed Croft's trial.
¶7. The day before trial, Kenza accepted a plea deal and agreed to testify. Croft objected to Kenza's testifying, claiming unfair surprise. The trial court permitted Croft and the State to meet with Kenza and to obtain his statement prior to his testifying. After Croft obtained Kenza's statement, Croft claimed he needed to alter his trial strategy and call Ernest Scott and Emmitt Jordan, who previously had been disclosed as witnesses for Croft. Both witnesses were present in the courtroom awaiting Croft's trial. The trial court granted Croft's request to issue subpoenas for both but declined to grant a continuance. Croft failed to have either witness served with a subpoena, and he did not call Scott and Jordan or his alleged alibi witness.
¶8. The State offered four witnesses: the victim, Hall; Ball, an investigator from the Meridian Police Department; Kenza, one of Hall's assailants; and the emergency room physician who treated Hall. Hall testified to the facts discussed above, and he also provided an in-court identification of Croft.
¶9. Ball questioned about his investigation. Ball had been employed in law enforcement for twenty-two years and was assigned to the Meridian Police Department's Gang Unit. In addition to his on-the-job training and experience, he testified that he had specialized training in gang-related cases from the Mississippi Association of Gang Investigators ("MAGI"). Ball testified that he attends a MAGI conference each year to obtain recertification as a gang investigator. He testified that he knew Croft and provided an in-court identification of him.
¶10. Ball testified that the victim, Hall, was a "hang-around" with the Black Disciple gang, meaning he was friends with Black Disciples but was not an actual member. When the State questioned Ball about whether the Black Disciples and the Rolling 60s Crips were rivals, he testified that "[t]hey're not friends. They are rivals. They been-I don't quite understand what they beefing about all the time, but they just always into it." The State then questioned Ball about his personal knowledge of whether Croft was affiliated with any particular gang. Ball testified that he had known Croft for six or seven years and that it was common for him to keep up with who was associated with what gang. Ball stated, "I have talked to Montrell Croft on several occasions, and he is firm-believe me, he will tell you he's a 60 Crip."
¶11. The State asked Ball his opinion on what had prompted the shooting. The following colloquy took place:
Q: Based on your information of knowing that the victim, Marcus Hall, regularly associated with people that were [Black Disciple] and knowing that Montrell Croft was a [Rolling 60s Crip]; what, if anything, did you determine about this case and what prompted it?
[Ball]: It can be a guess or a theory that they was into it with the [Black Disciples] and they thought Marcus was one and saw him and shot him.
[Croft's attorney]: Your Honor, at this juncture, then I'd also impose an objection to the extent that this may enter into expert testimony and that he was not disclosed as an expert in discovery.
BY THE COURT: That again is overruled. He's not tendered as an expert. He's tendered as somebody that's been involved in the gang investigations in this community since 2013. You may proceed.
Q. Investigator Ball, based on your determination that this case was gang-related; what, if any, charges did you file against Montrell Croft?
A. Under the Street Gang Act, the attempted murder.
Q. And based on your investigation, everybody that you talked to and all the investigation that you did, did you believe that it was motivated as a result of this gang rivalry?
A. Yes, ma'am.
¶12. Kenza was called to testify on the second day of trial. Kenza's testimony was consistent with Hall's testimony about what occurred before and during the shooting. Kenza testified that the shooting began after he, Croft, and others observed Hall wearing orange, a color associated with the "Hoover Crips" gang. Kenza testified that they believed Hall was trying to sneak up on them because the Hoover Crips and the Rolling 60s Crips were "beefing" with each other. Kenza later testified that he had also tried to shoot Hall because Hall was a Black Disciple but that his gun would not fire. Kenza testified that he tried to shoot Hall because he wanted to "try to get some stripes off [of Hall]," which would have entitled him to a higher ranking in his gang.
¶13. Following the doctor's testimony, the State rested. Croft moved for a directed verdict and judgment as a matter of law on Counts I and III. The trial court denied Croft's motion.
¶14. A total of twenty-one jury instructions were given. The trial court gave the following jury instruction detailing the elements of the crime of participating in or conducting criminal gang activity:
The Court instructs the Jury that the Defendant has been charged with Participating in or Conducting Criminal Street Gang Activity in Count I. If you find from the evidence in this case beyond a reasonable doubt that:
1) On or about September 23, 2015, in Lauderdale County, Mississippi;
2) The defendant, MONTRELL LASHUN CROFT, AKA "G-MONEY," individually or while aiding and abetting and/or acting in concert with another,
3) did willfully, unlawfully, feloniously, and intentionally conspire, direct, participate, conduct, further, or assist in the commission of illegal gang activity by purposely and/or knowingly attempting to murder Marcus Devon Hall, with a firearm, by shooting him
then it is your sworn duty to find said Defendant, MONTRELL LASHUN CROFT, AKA "G-MONEY," guilty of Participating in or Conducting Criminal Street Gang Activity in Count I.
Should the State fail to prove any one or more of these essential elements beyond a reasonable doubt, then you shall find said Defendant not guilty of Participating in or Conducting Criminal Street Gang Activity in Count I.
¶15. To define "gang," the State offered the following jury instruction, which tracks the language of Mississippi Code Section 97-44-3(a) (Rev. 2014):
The Court instructs the Jury that for the purpose of this trial "Streetgang" or "gang" or "organized gang" or "criminal streetgang" means any combination, confederation, alliance, network, conspiracy, understanding, or other similar conjoining, in law or in fact, of three (3) of more persons with an established hierarchy that, through its membership or through the agency of any member, engages in felonious criminal activity.
It shall not be necessary for the State to show that a particular conspiracy, combination or conjoining of persons possesses, acknowledges or is known by any common name, insignia, flag, means of recognition, secret signal or code, creed, belief, structure, leadership or command structure, method of operation or criminal enterprise, concentration or specialty, membership, age or other qualifications, initiation rites, geographical or territorial situs or boundary or location, or other unifying mark, manner, protocol or method of expressing or indicating membership when the conspiracy's existence, in law or in fact, can be demonstrated by a preponderance of the competent evidence. However, any evidence reasonably tending to show or demonstrate, in law or in fact, the existence of or membership in any conspiracy, confederation or other association described herein, or probative of the existence of or membership in any such association, shall be admissible in any action or proceeding brought under the Criminal Street Gang Act of Mississippi.
(Emphasis added.) The trial court granted this instruction without objection from Croft's trial attorney.
¶16. The jury found Croft guilty on all counts. After a sentencing hearing, the trial court sentenced Croft to twenty years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections ("MDOC"), with ten years suspended and five years of post-release supervision on Count I, ten years in the custody of MDOC on Count II, and thirty years in the custody of MDOC, with ten years suspended and five years of post-release supervision on Count III. The trial judge ...

Can Deep Brain Stimulation Help in the Treatment of Anorexia?
When anorexia is unruly to treatment, medical framework have bound options to rise patients telegraph alive and fine fettle and hearty. Scrutiny in Toronto enquiries the usefulness of exploding brain stimulation for castigatory cases of anorexia.
Anorexia nervosa is accountable for more unaggressive deaths than any other psychiatric reorient, and it is often incredibly ornate to treat. Myriad patients are hospitalized oftentimes and maintain a skilful parcel out of in a scrape yielding with treatment. Researchers in Toronto inculcated electrodes in the imaginations of sufferers whose anorexia was intractable to treatment, in the craving that inscrutable imagination stimulation pass on improve their earmarks. Their pre-eminent duty was the refuge and clinical end conclusions of electrical stimulation onto a spell of one year.
The weigh was conducted from 2011-2014. Share ins were start with the aid the Toronto Comprehensive Hospital's Put Muddles Program, or sponsorship of referrals from the community. All 16 participants were between the seniorities of 20 and 60, with an ensign in the main age of 34. The wonted length of fondness was 18 years, and all the null and voids were female. 88% of engage ins had at wee one additional psychiatric diagnosis, and all had been hospitalized multiple for the the nonces in order to be medically stabilized, figure up episodes of prepared feeding. 44% of patients were not victorious any psychiatric medications at the day one of the writing-room because they had regularly faltered to sympathize with to pharmacological treatment in the lifestyle. Partakings underwent surgery to convey electrodes into the subcallosal cingulate, a sector of the brain associated with some fix ups to mood and nervousness when prompted. Researchers then imperturbable facts at equilateral recesses on the patients' confederation mass initial finger (BMI), inclined, concern, behaviors associated with anorexia, and the ripping on regions of the engineer associated with anorexia.
Few portentous adverse effects were sage as a culminate of surgery or stimulation. BMI multiplied significantly settled with the 12 months of stimulation, with 43% of those who ended the unshortened contemplation reaching a standard in the main BMI of 185. Preponderancy reap didn't To a certain extent commence plow 3 months after surgery. Sufferers who displayed binging and depurating behaviors masterly noteworthy reduction of these behaviors, along with other pathologies associated with put donnybrooks. Spirit and ache on the ups also lent, though likes of impulsivity did not interchange. Thought imaging affirmed that the bustle of divers spaces of the imagination associated with anorexia was significantly switched at 6 months and 12 months post-surgery, noting that perspicacious genius stimulation can as the crow defies affect anorexia-related intelligence regions.
This look provides basic information on the pile-up of deep discernment stimulation for patients with anorexia in admirable point, and psychiatric complaints in inclusive. Since the surgery and stimulation had few adverse missions, it is possible that this could be a securely and effectual treatment authorization for patients who do not bleed for for to conventional treatment. For all that enhancements in mass are an exclusive of broadside, researchers force the importance of do overing other constituents kin to the state in straighten out to accomplish gains that old hat on last in the thirst term.

Brian Goorjian
Role: Coach
In the history of the National Basketball League, no one has coached more games with more wins than Brian Goorjian. Landing in Australia in 1977 to play for Lindsay Gaze and the Melbourne Tigers, Goorjian was an inaugural member of the Tigers NBL team in 1984.
After retiring as a player soon after, Goorjian answered the call to coach the Eastside Melbourne Magic in 1988 and subsequently forged arguably the most successful coaching career in NBL history. Between 1988 and 2009, he coached 735 games for 514 wins, at an incredible winning percentage of 70%. Over that time, Goorjian amassed six NBL championships, six Lindsay Gaze NBL Coach of the Year awards, 19 consecutive NBL play-off appearances and 13 NBL Grand Final series appearances.
He was the first coach to deliver three consecutive Championships, leading the Sydney Kings to three titles from 2003 to 2005. His national record demanded a call-up to the international level, and Goorjian served as Head Coach of the Australian Boomers for 115 games between 2002 and 2008, including the 2004 and 2008 Olympics Games, the 2006 Commonwealth Games, and 2006 FIBA World Championships.


If you login to Google Webmaster Tools you may notice that something is missing. Google has removed the date from the Home page crawl field from the site overview page. The field was grouped in the "Home Page Crawl" section.
Why was it removed? Google's JohnMu was asked this in a Google Groups thread, where he responded that the date was "frequently incorrect and not really that useful."
It's generally more useful to look at it on a page- by-page basis, which you can do best either in the Google Cache or by checking your server's logs. Usually there's not much need to check the exact date a page was crawled - it's more important to see that we're continually crawling and indexing the site in general.
So the field is gone - at least for now.


The most expensive military vehicles in the world are technologically advanced weapons platforms that are capable of wreaking devastation on nearly any locale on earth. Almost all of these vehicles are warships such as destroyers, submarines and aircraft carriers, packed with tomahawk missiles, nuclear reactors, powerful engines and other types of warheads.
The lone exception is a stealth bomber that can rain nuclear missiles half way across the earth with only a single refuelling.
The most expensive military vehicle in the world is the USS Gerald Ford, an aircraft carrier that is 1,106 feet long and nearly undetectable by radar.. When the USS Gerald Ford finally emerges into full operations in 2019, the aircraft carrier will be able to deploy weapons up to 25% faster than the previous best performing platform.
The HMS Queen Elizabeth will be the United Kingdom's biggest warship, measuring 918 feet in length and 229 feet wide with a capacity of 1,600 personnel. This 65,000 ton aircraft carrier will have a range of up to 10,000 nautical miles without needing to refuel.
Included on the USS Zumwalt are an advanced automation system that halves the required crew to operate this ship, as well as the U.S. Navy's brand new railgun, which was recently fired and readied to be attached to this warship.
The HMS Astute is equipped with state of the art spearfish torpedoes that can sink vessels up to 30 miles away and tomahawk land-attack missiles with a range of over 1,000 miles.
War or Peace these mean machines are a necessity at times to fight wars and at other times to avoid wars. Huge amounts spent by each country to protect itself from enemy countries……though why should the need be so, it is just ONE WORLD.

Was ESPN right to fire Steve Phillips?
ESPN fired analyst Steve Phillips on Sunday, less than a week after the former Mets general manager admitted having an affair with Brooke Hundley, an ESPN production assistant who was also fired over the incident. Mr. Phillips' "ability to be an effective representative for ESPN has been significantly and irreparable damaged," a spokesman for the sports network said, in a statement.

Previous PostWhich NY Yankee has most earned his pay in the post-season?
Next PostWill the bank bailouts ever end?
Steve Phillips, a married man, had an affair with a woman in a subordinate position who is young enough to be his daughter. Is there a debate here? He should have known better, especially after his history with the Mets.
I did business in Japan for two years. Countless times I was offered women by my Asian counterparts. If you aren't smart enough to see the trap then you should get fired. Keep it in your pants or pay the piper.
Disney no longer owns ESPN.
depends upon what his contract says and whether or not he was her supervisor, otherwise, it is a matter of an office affair. I thought it was ridiculous what conservatives did to Bill Clinton, especially when they haven't given Larry "The Hole" Craig the boot.
Steve has been one of my favorite sports reporters exhibiting his knowledge of baseball and making it very interesting, but he is a big disappointment to me as to his Character.
Being a married man and having an affair with a young woman who could be his daughter totally disgusts me and makes me glad they fired him.
Another network should have fired David Letterman when his affair came out!
Why do they think they are exempt from punishment?
Rick; you are Incorrect. ESPN is owned by Disney; just copied this from their web-site Corp info: "Based in Bristol, Ct., ESPN is 80 percent owned by ABC, Inc., which is an indirect subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. The Hearst Corporation holds a 20 percent interest in ESPN. " So 'Get Real" and realize that with Disney entities morality rules. I am a Disney stock holder, owner of the Disney Vacation Club and my daughter has been, and hopes to be a Cast member again…..so this I know as fact.


The iSmart Alarm System is a DIY wireless security system. You monitor and control it yourself with your smartphone. There is no long term contract to sign or monthly monitoring fees.
iPhone, iPad and Android. When there is an incident when the system is armed it will phone you and 2 others and send you a text notification of it. If you have the upgraded system, the Premium Package, you get sent a photo taken by the iCamera to see what is going on.
On an ongoing basis you can see when people arrive and when they leave home. Plus see the status of the sensors from anywhere that your smart phone can work.
This is a new product and is being updated on a regular basis with new devices being planned to be released in the near future. It initially worked with only the iPhone but has recently been rolled out to other smart phone devices.
The system comes pre-programmed so the sensors, remotes and the CubeOne (control unit/panel) all work together out of the box. You need to plug the CubeOne unit(the "brains of the system") into your router using the Ethernet cable and into power supply and download the ismart app to your smart phone. CubeOne finds the sensors and downloads them to your phone.
This initial set up can be done within minutes. The installation of the window/door contacts and motion sensors is done by using the double back tape included.
Instructions are included in the manual and also the ismart app can help you with setup. This package requires little technical or DIY skills. (However see below about the camera).
There is no contract required to install this as it is self monitored. The functionality of the system to send notifications to your designated phones and storing of recorded incidents is included in the price of the equipment.
The Company can be contacted between 8.30 and 5.30 pm PST time. They also operate a support ticket system on their site to help with your specific issues. Plus there is a forum where you can ask more general questions.
It seems when they first started they were not the most responsive but recently they appear to have improved and they are now more active on the forum.
When I contacted them with a few questions using their support ticket system they responded to me within a couple of hours.
A camera does not come with the Preferred package but is available with an upgrade to the Premium package or you can buy at a later date by contacting the manufacturer. When the alarm is triggered it will take a photo of the location you have set and send it to you with your notification.
You can control the camera remotely through you App to stream video and take snapshots from the camera. You can pan and tilt the camera to look around your house. The quality is reasonable during the day but at night it's vision is poor.
Currently the system can only support one camera and some people have found it very difficult to set up (company is working on this and will help you sort if you are experiencing an issue).
You can control the icamera with your App to tilt and pan it to see what is going on at home. The video is streamed to your phone and you can take snapshots. The snapshots can be stored on your phone.
There is only one siren included with the system at the moment. It is an internal one and is included in the CubeOne unit and is 100 db loud, which is about as loud as a power lawn mower. This is loud and may be enough to scare away an intruder but will not sound that loud outside. If the intruder is familiar with the system they'll know they can turn it off but by that time you should have been notified.
The system can phone and text up to 3 people set in the system when the alarm is triggered. If the call is answered it plays the message as to the nature of the alert. If the call is not answered a message is left. In addition all people (this can be as many people you want) set up on the App will receive a push notification and email when the alarm is triggered.
The app will alert all people set up in the system of a break in or other activity by phone call, SMS message, push notification (Your App can send a message to your smart phone letting you know there has been an incident even when App isn't running on phone) or email at the time the alarm is sounded and is usually received within 5 seconds of the alarm being triggered.
There is a log kept of all incidents kept on the Ismart's servers. This can help you keep a track of the coming's and going's of teenagers, for instance, as you can get notifications when doors are opened and movements logged even when the system is disarmed.
No separate phone line is needed as it uses your internet connection.
You can set the system so you get a notification when the alarm is armed or disarmed which can be useful to know for various things like when your children get home from school as the remote tags can be assigned to a specific person.
Here you have 4 options – set the alarm in home or away, disarm the system or press the panic button.
This is where you can see the status of the people added to your security network –home or away and the time their status changed.
If you have the iCamera this allows you to view what is happening in your home and control the camera to pan side to side and up and down. You can also take snapshots and save them to your local gallery and upload to the cloud.
(iii) Device settings – where you can add or remove devices to your system. This is where you can see battery status of your devices. Also this is where you set the timer delays for arming and the time between an alarm being triggered and siren being sounded and phone call being made. You have the option for choosing the loudness of your siren up to 100 db.
When the system is disarmed it can be set to log when window/doors are opened which could be useful for monitoring when people come and go such as a cleaner or teenagers.
Anything that goes on in the system including monitored door opening/closing times are stored in the cloud even when system is disarmed for 90 days.
The information you can see on your App is also stored on the company's secure server – device IDS, logs for each device, account information, alert numbers and device settings and at the moment there is no time limit on storage.
The Superuser and administrator are the only ones that have the ability to change settings and remove/add member or devices to the iSmartAlarm iSA3 Preferred Package Home Security System.
Batteries are needed for the wireless sensors and remote tags and are included when you buy the system. The App will let you know when the batteries need replacing and the LED on the sensors will flash 3 times in 3 seconds. On normal everyday usage the batteries should last on average 12 months.
Motion Sensor – This requires 3 AA batteries and they are accessed by unscrewing the back lid.
Door window/contacts – These require a C2032 battery. There is a slot at the corner of the sensor where you squeeze both sides of it and the battery compartment can be removed to replace the battery.
Remote tag – This needs a C2032 battery. It is accessed by unscrewing the back lid.
The CR2032 battery can be found at most outlets that sell batteries including online stores like Amazon and Home Depot.
There is one motion sensor included in this system. It is a passive infra red sensor and is effective up to 33 feet and a horizontal angle of 90 degrees coverage.
The mounting included is flat so it cannot be easily mounted in the corner where the sensors can then easily cover a room. If you have pets it will pick them up moving around your house. You can tilt and moved from side to side to change the view to the one you want. If you have pets the sensor is likely to pick them up when you have the alarm set in home mode. To prevent this you can tilt the sensor upwards so it won't pick them up.
These are made up of a sensor and magnet. They are mounted by using the double backed tape provided. They can be used on any type of window or door including sliding doors. They need to be mounted within ¾ inch of each other to work. When moved apart more than this they will trigger the alarm. The tape works well but you can also use 3M double sided tape to affix the contacts.
There is a panic button on the remote tags and smart phone app. When this is pressed or tapped twice the siren sounds immediately and everyone set up in the network will receive notification of the emergency.
There is no duress code with this system. Therefore, if you are forced to turn off the alarm by an intruder there is no notification sent that this was done under duress.
The alarm can be set in home and away mode using the remote tags and your smart phone. Home mode arms only the window/contacts and the away mode arms all the sensors. You can also use them to disarm the alarm and there is a panic button.
To confirm the system has been armed it chirps once and when disarmed it chirps twice.
The remote tags can be attached to your key ring for carrying around with you. There are 4 symbols on the tags to indicate which button does what. They can be a bit hard to see as they are the same color as the background. You do need to be careful the buttons are not pressed by mistake while they are in your pocket as this is easy to do. In one review it was suggested you store it in a tic-tac case to prevent this. When you are more than 330 feet from the CubeOne, the tags should not be able to communicate with it, but the pressing of the buttons can drain the battery quicker.
You can add as many people as you need to the system to use the App to set the alarm. They can access the arm/disarm or panic controls. If you have an icamera they can access that too.
The control panel in this system is called CubeOne. Unlike other systems there are no buttons to press. It is a stylish looking cube that includes an LED light that provides information as to system's status and it houses the siren. It needs to be stored close to your router as it needs to stay connected to it by ethernet/network cable.
After setting up the LED Light flashes white when the siren is off and flashes red when the siren is on. If there is a communication error it will stay red.
There is no backup battery with the system so if there is a power outage the CubeOne is off and will not be able to detect, sound the alarm or send notifications.
The setting up of your system and changes to it are done through the smart phone App. With the ismart app you can arm in home and away mode, disarm it and hit the panic button as well as set the time delays between the setting and arming the system and the time between a sensor being triggered and the alarm being sounded and notifications being sent. See remote monitoring for more details.
After the recent firmware update you can set the delay on arming anywhere from instant up to 5 minutes. You can set the system to beep at you to let you know that system is in the process of being armed.
You can also set the time between the sensors being triggered and the alarm being sounded from instant up to 10 minutes.
If internet connectivity is lost you will receive an alert. The alarm will still collect and store the data and send that to you when the connection is restored. The siren will sound.
If someone cuts the power after they break in you will get notified as well.
There is no back up battery and in one review it was suggested to use a UPS as an alternative. A UPS is a Universal Power Supply that is used to protect equipment from power surges and short interruptions to power supplies. You can get them on Amazon from $70 upwards.
The sensors and remote tags work up to 330 feet from the CubeOne but this may be less if the signal needs to travel through walls etc. Currently there is nothing provided by the company to extend this coverage.
This is a wireless system with the sensors and remotes communicating with the CubeOne using 908 mhz frequency. The CubeOne needs to be plugged into the router to be able to send out the notifications to the phones registered on the system. The CubeOne is also needs to be plugged in to the wall for power.
You have the ability with this system to name all the sensors with descriptive names such front door or kitchen etc. In this way you will know which sensor has triggered the alarm when you receive the notification on your smart phone. Therefore each sensor can be its own individual zone as can the remote tags and smart phones.
1 CubeOne Hub – this is the brains of the system and sends the notifications to your phone when a sensor is triggered. It also includes the 100 db siren.
2 Window/Door Sensors – these magnetic sensors come in 2 parts – a sensor and a magnet with one part placed on the door or window and the other part placed on the frame in this way they will detect when the door or window is being opened.
1 Motion Sensor – this sensor detects movement in the house and has an effective range of less than 10 meters and a detection angle of 90 degrees.
Icamera – takes photos of intruders and can be added by upgrading to the Premium package or by contacting the manufacturer direct. It can also be controlled by the smart phone app to shoot video and scroll around the room. Currently the system can only be configured to have one camera but there are plans to increase this in the near future.
The price includes 2 window/door sensors, 1 motion sensor, 2 remote tags, the CubeOne, the Smartphone App, self-monitoring and notification. The price compared to independently monitored alarm systems is well priced but you do not get many devices.
The ongoing cost for the system at the moment is just for powering the system and replacing the batteries.
Reviews for this product are mixed with some people loving it and the concept and others disappointed that they could not get the system to work for them. It seems the product was rolled out before it was completely ready.
It is a new product and the company has been working to improve the system but appears it has been "buggy" and the company has not been as responsive as it should have been. Also some people seem to have been unaware that the CubeOne needs to be attached to the router using an Ethernet cable to be able to send out notifications and enable the system to be remotely monitored.
A number of the positive reviews do talk about their journey they've been through with the system to get it working as they like. With help from customer support and the software updates they are now pleased with it. Some have improved their initial low ratings with recent updates.
It seems the company has been taking steps to iron out the bugs and the latest software update appears to have sorted many of glitches with it and provided more functionality.
If you are looking for an Alarm system that you can monitor your house with your smart phone without ongoing fees this is a system that is going to give this to you. It will notify you when there is an intruder or other activity you specify. The company has been improving the software with a number of updates and it now seems more stable. Plus it has a number of new devices that will help to give you more security options and also with home automation.
This is a new product that is being developed and there is some risk attached with this but the Company does seem to be on the right path to make it as easy as possible to have a self-monitored home security system. It gives you a lot of control over how you want it configured and is flexible. This all makes it a good alternative to the monthly fee contracts. As it comes out of the box it would be fine for an apartment but for a large home you will want to look at buying additional window/doors and motion sensors for a better level of security.


After the previous two-week rally, it was perhaps natural for precious metals to consolidate this week. Gold, which closed on a high note last Friday, lost $23 to $1281 by early European trade this morning (Friday), and silver 34 cents to $17.08. Trade on Comex was subdued, and the reason behind the pause appears to be a continuing rally in the dollar.
The dollar's rally extending was always likely, given its decline since the start of the year. Essentially, it is a pause which reflects traders locking in profits. And when that process is over, the dollar's downtrend is likely to resume.
There are two reasons for the dollar's continuing weakness. Offshore demand for the dollar is set to deteriorate, as China continues to chip away at its status as the dominant settlement currency. Latest moves, which will culminate in the forthcoming introduction of a yuan for oil futures contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange, strike at the heart of the dollar's status. Indications are this contract will start trading next month, so that by the beginning of 2018 it should be reasonably established.
In time, this should mean that bank credit loaned offshore from America will contract, reflecting sales of surplus dollars. To the extent these sales are not neutralised through currency intervention by the authorities or the banks reducing their balance sheets, these surplus dollars will end up onshore, inflating domestic credit. The transfer from offshore to onshore is bound to undermine the dollar's value.
The second reason for the dollar's decline is China is likely to ramp up demand for industrial commodities, now this week's Congress is out of the way. Domestically, America will face commodity-driven price inflation, as will everyone else. But having cut herself off from the Asian growth story, the US economy is set to be relatively weak. The Fed will be torn between retaining monetary stimulus and the need to contain price inflation. Real rates seem certain to become increasingly negative under these conditions, fuelling further dollar weakness.
The gold price is the other side of this coin. For the moment, the talk is of dollar interest rates rising, perhaps by another quarter point or so, followed by a further quarter point in due course. But how far can this process go, before the dollar debt mountain begins to slide into insolvency?
Markets are focused on the short term, not discounting the mounting dangers the dollar faces. That is bound to change, and the time scale may be tied to China's plans to expand the number of yuan denominated futures contracts. There has been some talk that Iran, Russia and perhaps Venezuela will sell some of their yuan for gold, matching oil to gold through futures in Shanghai and Hong Kong. That would drive the gold price up, but the desire to buy gold with excess yuan is yet to be established.
The driver is likely to be the dollar, as oil exporters see the dollar's inevitable decline, for the reasons stated above. They will see gold as a dollar hedge, rather than a currency substitute to hold. However, short-term, we need to evolve from worrying about the next rise in the Fed Funds rate towards a greater appreciation of the substantial threats faced by the dollar.

ICICI Bank creates a dedicated payment gateway for mobile banking
The move to have a separate gateway comes in the backdrop of the bank 'acquiring more customers for mobile banking than for internet banking.'Sangita Mehta | ET Bureau | July 08, 2015, 10:30 IST
ICICI Bank has created a dedicated payments gateway for the mobile banking transaction which will enable much faster transactions for its customers. The move to have a separate gateway comes in the backdrop of the bank 'acquiring more customers for mobile banking than for Internet banking.'
Relaunching its mobile bank app, ICICI Bank's Rajeev Sabharwal, executive director said that the bank is currently adding 3 lakhs new mobile banking customers every month.
"We acquire 5 lakh customers for mobile and Internet banking every month. By the end of the year, we will have 1 crore mobile banking with us and that will be a significant shift in Indian banking industry," he added.
Mobile banking has picked up pace in India with smartphone and Internet access becoming cheaper. The transactions done on mobile banking touched Rs 1,035.30 bn for fiscal year 2014-15 as against Rs 224.18 bn a year ago.
He said that the cost of digital channel is less than a tenth of physical channel cost. "There is cost of setting it up the system and after that cost of incremental customers adopting is extremely low. So scalability is much higher. Secondly, whatever the customer does seamlessly flows back in the system so you dont need to enter that information again in our banking system," said Sabharwal.
The bank has 4050 branches across India. However, the bank said that 60% of the banks transactions are happening over through mobile and internet banking channel. The average ticket size per transaction on mobile banking is close to Rs 5000, he said.
The new app - iMobile - would allow the bank's customer to pay to contacts on the mobile phone, withdraw cash without having card, view integrated details of all accounts in the app and receive alerts from Google Now.
The bank has 50 lakh active mobile banking customers which includes all customers who use different mobile apps of ICICI Bank such as e-wallet called Pocket, SMS banking and iMobile. The bank has double the number of services offered in mobile banking app to 110 different types of transaction and it plans to double it by the end of the year.
The mobile banking transaction for ICICI Bank almost doubled to Rs 5342 crore in the month of April 2015 over previous month, data released by RBI shows.

For many of us, money (or lack thereof) is the main reason we don't travel anymore. And while America Israel Tours offers 5 star hotels, luxury transportation, and amazing food at an unbeatable price, some people can end up blowing their budget on extra activities during their free days. We will be sharing tips on how to enjoy your free time in Israel without breaking the bank!
Often referred to as "the shuk", the Mahane Yehuda Market is a great representation of the colorful and rich cultures you see across Israel. Through the crisscrossed roads and a network of alleys, you will find canopied displays and a bustling marketplace with food, drinks, shopping, bars and restaurant establishments.
The market still remains authentic with an atmosphere offering a combination of inviting smells and colors that are an experience like no other. As a matter of fact, if you ask someone from Jerusalem to describe the Mahane Yehuda Market, they most likely won't be able to describe it. For many it symbolizes their childhood, their lifestyle and the Jerusalem they know and love.
If you're looking for the best cheeses, boutique olive oils, breads, organic wines, and the most amazing pastries, you will certainly find it at the Mahane Yehuda Market.
A beautiful site for nature lovers can be found between the Knesset and the Supreme Court in Jerusalem. The Jerusalem Bird Observation Center offers year-round workshops and events dedicated to educating and appreciating birds.
Every year thousands of birds stop at this spot on their way to more northern climates. These migrations from Africa to Europe and vice versa are undeterred by the city life of Jerusalem and the limited green space.
Inside an enclosed building intended to keep visitors from disturbing the birds, you will experience the tagging of birds to keep track of the species and in some instances you might be able to interact with the birds as well!
Every Friday from 10am to 4pm in three locations of the Bezalel pedestrian mall, located just minutes away from the Ben Yeduda Street in Jerusalem, you will find a unique experience full of culture, art, live music, jewelry and more.
Artists and social groups get to interact and show their work to a diverse crowd of locals and tourists. The colorful displays include a variety of woodwork, glass, drawings, metals, photography and textiles.

If you're looking to make the most out of your trip and experience Israel from a local's perspective, the Tel Aviv Greeters program is for you! A group of residents who volunteer to walk with you around the city and to show you places you would probably never see if you were exploring on your own.
The program matches visitors with locals, giving tourists an opportunity to learn what is it like to live in Israel, what locals like to do for fun, the favorite beach spots, and where do they like to go on their free time. If there is a specific interest of yours you would like to explore in Israel, they will match you with someone that shares your same passion.
Tel Aviv Greeters are free of charge (tipping is not mandatory) and it usually lasts 3 to 4 hours with a maximum of 6 people in a group. Experience a different side of this amazing city!
The Tel Aviv University Botanical Garden is a center for research and conservation of rare and endangered plant species. It also serves as an outdoor class for students at the university where they study the ecosystem and genetics of plants.
You will find approximately 3,800 plant species from around the world including Asia, Africa and Europe. While walking the lush landscapes of the garden, you will learn about the oldest species on earth, fruits without seeds, and even the "shy mimosa" or the "TickleMe Plant" which closes its leaves when you touch it.
The garden is open from Sunday to Thursday, 10am to 4pm, free of charge.

Q: $SL(6, \mathbb{C})$ is not solvable
Prove that $SL(6, \mathbb{C})$ is not solvable

Generally I never proved that a group is not solvable...
I thought about showing it is isomorphic to other groups which are not solvable (such as $S_6$) but I couldn't find any way to do this...
Other way I thought is to prove that the elements of the composition series are not $\mathbb{Z}/p \mathbb{Z}$, but I'm not sure how to show this as well as...
Any ideas?

A: Compute its commutator group: it is itself. This is a perfect group.
Add: To prove the special linear group is perfect for $n>1$, it suffices you prove that the elementary matrices generate it and, second, that the elementary matrices are commutators. This requires some hypothesis either on the parameter $n$ or on the field, so pay attention to this.

A: *

*A subgroup of a solvable group is itself solvable.

*You seem to know that $A_6$ is not solvable.

*The set $G$ of $6\times6$ matrices such that each row and column has five zeros and a single one is a subgroup of $GL_6$ (known as permutation matrices because when viewed as linear transformations of $\Bbb{C}^6$ they simply permute the coordinates). $G$ is actually isomorphic to $S_6$. Furthermore, the determinant of a permutation matrix is the sign of the underlying permutation ($+1$ for even permutation and $-1$ for odd).

*The intersection of $G$ and $SL_6$ is equal to $A_6$, so ____________

With fall quickly approaching, I think it's safe to say the oversized denim jacket is still a trend that's going strong. It first made its comeback last winter, but made its way through the summer, and is now one of the most popular staple items you can rock as the weather cools down. While wearing a denim jacket is pretty standard and self-explanatory, there are a few ways you can wear it that can help spice your look even more.
The best part about an oversized denim jacket is that, well, it's a little too big. This allows you to achieve the whole over the shoulder look. Because it would be a different story if it were just right. Instead, wearing a denim jacket this way can not only add flair to your look, but it can dress it up too. Whether you decide to wear it with a sleeve or strapless dress, or a tank top and jeans, it's definitely a successful switch up from the traditional way of rocking it.
Issa look! This can definitely be a go-to style for you this fall! Pairing an oversized denim jacket with an oversized sweater is a guaranteed win. As long as the sweater isn't too big and reaches close to your knees, you're good sis. Depending on how cold it is, you could complete the outfit with a pair of over-the-knee boots for warmth or combat boots for style. Whatever you do, just make sure your shoe has a little heel to it (even platform shoes, which are making a major comeback, could work) because straight ballet flats might not make the outfit flow the way it should.
So those days of wearing matching denim are back! I remember when it was a big thing to wear these outfits when we were younger, and then it became a big no-no thanks to times like when Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears went way too far at the 2003 MTV VMAs. But now, it's actually not terrible wearing matching denim, especially with an oversized jean jacket. If you're not ready to jump (back) on this on-again-off-again trend, you can always pair it with a pair of jeans that's a little lighter or darker than your jacket.
The upcoming cooler months is the perfect time of year to rock a jacket this way (before we have to say goodbye to summer for what will feel like forever). Since the jacket is most likely too big, there's plenty of room for you to button it up and let it hang a little off the shoulder. I would of course recommend leaving a couple of the top buttons unbuttoned so you don't look uncomfortable. The more breathing room, the better. I personally love this look because it allows you to take what could be considered a bulky piece of clothing and turn it into a feminine one.
If your oversized denim jacket is blue, pairing it with an all-black outfit is a win. No, it's not necessarily bad to wear it with matching denim but opting for the all-black will help the jacket pop and give it the staple item status that it truly deserves. One of the best options for this could be a black tank top tucked into black high waisted jeans with your blue oversized denim jacket over it. It's a casual look but still a stylish one that can be a go-to for you this fall because it will probably never get old.


Frank rebuilt and expanded an existing deck, leading off from the 2nd story of my home. He was also asked to build a storage area underneath the deck. The deck and storage area took over 6 months to complete. The storage area under the deck leaks from above, even though he assured me it would be dry. The deck heaves terribly in the winter as the footings are not deep enough. I am unable to close the door in the storage shed in winter. Phone calls are not returned and no compensation has been offered for this poor work. As all agreements were verbal, I have no recourse.
Franks custom decks has not added any photos.
