"No.2 Muhyiddin Challenging The Boss..??"
On July 6th 2008 we wrote an article in response to a Malaysiakini report where it is headlined as "Muhyiddin blames Anwar for political crisis"By then Muhyiddin was already showing his lofty ambition and who could blame him as Age was really catching up with him.Today he is 63 years old and if he does not try to go for the No.1 posts what chances has he got left. In 2008 Muhyiddin was seen as the Knight in Shining Armour and also the Kingmaker.
Today Malaysiakini has this article Part 1 taken from an internet blog "New Mandala".We reposts Part 1 and Part 2 for all of you to digress,make your own political opinions and see whether Muhyiddin can challenge the Boss..? Haven't we been taught always,"Never Ever Go against the Boss..He is always Right…!!" Many have Fallen and those align to Muhyddin must be prepared to take THE FALL…. "Muhyiddin for Malaysia versus Najib 1Malaysia"
Is Najib on his way out?
February 9th, 2010 by Greg Lopez ·
In recent months several events point to familiar UMNO (United Malay National Organisation) intrigue. This occurs whenever there is a tussle for power at the highest level. Is Muhyiddin (who just launched his blog – Muhyiddin Yassin for Malaysia), Prime Minister Najib's Deputy, attempting to overthrow his boss? Najib, who only came into power in April of 2009, is in real danger of not completing a term as Prime Minister (read here).
Muhyiddin has taken some tangential positions to his "boss". Muhyiddin's stance on hot button issues such as the "Allah" Court ruling — insisting that Christians drop the usage of the word "Allah" and backtracking on the formation of an inter-faith council to resolve the "Allah" issue through dialogue — were ominous. In fact, Muhyiddin demonstrated his fundamentalist credentials as soon as he became Deputy Prime Minister in April 2009 but strengthened them further in October 2009 (he made racist statements against Anwar Ibrahim), when it was clear that fundamentalists were gaining the upper hand in UMNO.
The context to this is simple — UMNO has two different views on how to remain in power — to become a Malay/Muslim extremist party to capture the Malay votes or to return to the middle ground — which had served it well for the past 52 years. Muhyiddin represents the first view while Najib the second. Unfortunately, due to Najib's indecisiveness, he is considered the new "Pak Lah" (the former Prime Minister) while Muhyiddin is seen as the new "Mahathir" (read here). Despite, Najib's policy prescription of "Malay Leadership", it appears that UMNO is still about "Malay Supremacy" as represented by Muhyiddin.
Najib's 1Malaysia slogan and policy agenda (read here, here and here) has been systematically rubbished by UMNO hardliners with the support of key government Ministers such as Muhyiddin and Malay/Muslim civil servants and non-governmental organisations bent on ensuring continued "Malay Supremacy" (more here, here and here).
Then there were the fire-bombings of places of worship (mostly Christian) after the "Allah" court ruling which shattered Malaysia's facade as a peaceful nation where people of different faiths and races live harmoniously. Furthermore, a recent forum organised by JAKIM (the Islamic Development Department) blamed Christians for tensions in the country and a forum panellist threatened Christians with a repeat of May 13 (race riot organised by certain UMNO members after losing 2/3 majority in the Peninsula Malaysia in 1969) — a view which is supported by Muhyiddin but not Najib.
Several startling events point to insiders sabotaging Najib. The story of two missing jet engines which occurred during Najib's tenure as Defence Minister surfaced after being "…solved…". It was surprising that the scandal resurfaced under the eyes of Najib's once trusted ally, the current Minister of Defence, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. Since the scandal broke, two individuals, believed to be scapegoats have been charged.
The biggest set-back came a few days ago when the Prime Minister's special aide, Nasir Safar , allegedly called ancestors of Malaysians of Indian heritage beggars and thieves and women ancestors of Malaysian Chinese prostitutes. This happened at, of all places, a 1Malaysia forum attended by the UMNO's partners from the Barisan Nasional. Nasir also threatened to revoke the citizenship of non-Malays who challenged the limit of 12 subjects that a student can take at the SPM (Malaysia's equivalent to O-level) examinations (Muhyiddin is the current Education Minister who came up with this ruling which reduces the value of subjects such as Tamil, Mandarin and Bible Knowledge).
Several commentators have already suggested that Najib is facing unprecedented resistance to his reform agenda and is being sabotaged in the process (read here) as his middle of the road approach goes against the very being of UMNO.
Najib's position is weak — both in UMNO and nationally. His ruling coalition is unstable with all key component parties facing leadership crises. The economy continues to falter and Malaysia's weakening reserves suggests capital flight. Anwar's Sodomy Trial and the "Allah" issue may drive moderates further away as fundamentalists push UMNO further to the right. Judging by previous UMNO intrigue (e.g. May 13, 1969; Operasi Lalang, October 1987; Reformasi, September 1998), it is likely that Najib will have to resort to underhand tactics to save his position in UMNO — and as always it is innocent Malaysians — mostly likely opposition leaders and democracy that will pay the price.

Is Najib On His Way Out? Part II
February 15th, 2010 by Greg Lopez ·
Two recent developments have conspired to further jeopardise Najib Razak's position as Prime Minister of Malaysia. First, there is the precedent set by the Federal Court's decision in the Perak Constitutional Crisis — where the Sultan (a monarch) now has the power to remove a democratically elected leader. Some argue that this has created a binding effect on the Prime Minister and the Federal Government. Therefore, any individual (whether from the opposition or within the ruling party) can now seek the consent of the Sultan or the Supreme Head of State (Agung) to remove a Chief Minister or the Prime Minister by convincing the Monarch that the person does not command the confidence of the legislature/parliament (read here, here and here).
Second, the latest Political and Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC) report on Malaysia confirms serious doubts among international investors concerning the political stability of Malaysia. It also raises serious doubts about Prime Minister Najib's ability to lead Malaysia through this turbulent times, especially reigning in vested interests within his party, the United Malay National Organisation (UMNO). This report seriously undermines Najib's position because without economic growth, the UMNO/BN patronage machine cannot function and also lead to further discontent among the electorate.
In an immediate response, Muhyiddin Yassin, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education and also Deputy President of UMNO, rubbished the report, stating that it was nonsense. Najib, however has yet to respond to the report.
The PERC report highlights several key problems plaguing Najib's leadership. His strategy of "…trying to be all things to all people…" is ineffective. The PERC report also emphasised that "… a group of elite minorities…" were dominating the national agenda and this has affected Malaysia's attractiveness to investors (read here). Both these events will only strengthen attempts to topple Najib.
There are several reasons why it is possible and likely that Najib will be toppled by UMNO insiders:
The faltering economy: This will squeeze opportunities for dispensing economic largesse thus angering some groups, particularly the elites within UMNO that are lead by Najib and Muhyiddin. This will lead to a fight to control access to patronage;
Najib 's liberalisation measures: Due to Malaysia's declining economic fortunes and burdening deficits, Najib must institute liberalisation measures to increase national competitiveness and which will be used against him by fundamentalists such as PERKASA (read here, here, here and here);
Najib's administrative reforms: the Government Transformation Programme (GTP) and National Key Results Areas (NKRA) while only having limited impact on Government Linked Corporations (which controls almost 40 – 50% of the Malaysian bourse), still allows for greater scrutiny of government decisions – further affecting opportunities for patronage;
Najib's strategy of reaching out to other races is perceived as a sign of weakness among UMNO & Malay fundamentalists such as PERKASA (read here, here and here);
Progress in opposition controlled states: Reform measures in opposition controlled states (especially Penang) allow "the Rakyat" to see how effective governments can provide better welfare outcomes; and
Rising fundamentalism: Policies of Islamisation and racist indoctrination during the Mahathir regime have created a segment in society that believes that Malay Muslims are the rightful heirs of Malaysia.
Two other key points also suggest that Najib will not last long.
The first point – history: It may seem unlikely, on the surface that Muhyiddin would challenge Najib but, then again, in UMNO politics nothing is impossible when the stakes are so high. UMNO history is littered with betrayal: Mahathir's treatment of his "heir apparent", Anwar Ibrahim in 1998 and since; how Anwar Ibrahim himself unceremoniously unseated party veteran Ghafar Baba in 1993 through highly dubious methods for the Deputy President post (when both Najib and Muhyiddin were in Anwar's Wawasan Team); how two arch enemies, Tengku Razaleigh and Musa Hitam joined forces to challenge Mahathir in 1987…and the list goes on.
The second point – there is no loyalty in UMNO: While UMNO is often described as a feudal party where loyalty is measured on deference to leaders, it is — at the end of the day– a party driven by greed. Just ask Anwar. Once heir apparent, his "loyal friends" in UMNO treat him today in ways that no politician in Malaysia has ever been treated. This however is a common trend in UMNO. Onn Jaafar and Tunku Abdul Rahman — founding fathers of UMNO and Malaysia respectively — were totally discredited by UMNO once they disagreed with the directions UMNO were taking. The key message, once outside UMNO, one has no means to dispense patronage and therefore deserve no respect from UMNO members.
UMNO has grown into a powerful patronage dispensing machine. Members of this "elite group" are not about to give-up their power. UMNO is so rotten that even one of its most senior members, Tengku Razaleigh, has criticised the party and what it is doing to the country (read here).
In the 2004 election, UMNO – as a party – had a simple majority in Parliament – as BN decimated the opposition. In the process, non-Malay BN component parties were marginalised – unleashing unprecedented racial and religious bigotry against non-Malay/Muslims (you know the stories). In the 2008 election, the reverse happened; BN lost its two-third majority. However, UMNO's percentage of the vote remained intact (reduced by about 5%) but its non-Malay component parties on the peninsular were nearly wiped out with non-Malay votes swinging by about 35% among Chinese and by about 50% among Indians away from BN.
Herein lies Najib's immediate problem. The non-Malay/Muslim BN component parties have blamed UMNO for its disappointing performance while UMNO has blamed its partners for not delivering on their part of the bargain. Najib has decided to go at it alone in reaching out to the various communities directly as his BN partners are all in disarray (every single one of them have leadership crises). It is within this context that the tussle between Najib and Muhyiddin should be examined. Najib wants to extend a hand to the other communities (e.g. 1 Malaysia) which would require some economic, social and political reforms and concessions, while Muhyiddin wants to go the other way, become increasingly extreme in response to the perception that the Malay votes (in general) will be sufficient to tide UMNO through on the peninsular and gain an overall majority with support from East Malaysia.
There were suggestions that Najib and Muhyiddin are playing good cop – bad cop. This is highly unlikely: Muhyiddin's bad cop totally destroys Najib's 1Malaysia and also BN's long held power sharing concept. Furthermore, in Malaysian history there has never been a sitting Deputy Prime Minister that acts in such blatant ways.
With non-Malays deserting BN at the 12th General Elections and further alienated through recent events, Najib is left vulnerable to the threats from fundamentalists. Najib will definitely not last a term unless he tames the greedy warlords within his party, Malay fundamentalists and address issues raised in the PERC report.

What Is The Downside To Conventional Dental Air-Powered Hand Pieces?
When most patients associate a sound with a dental office, they usually think of the "whiny" hand-held drills that dentists use during many procedures. Many patients report a strong fear in reaction to the whiny sound of the dental drill. And, not only are they loud, these air-powered dental hand pieces (drills) all have a degree of non-concentricity, meaning that they do not rotate perfectly smoothly. This lack of precision can make achieving beautiful results challenging.
What Are The Advantages Of Electric Dental Hand Pieces?
Our office uses electric dental hand pieces that rotate far more smoothly, resulting in extremely precise dental work. The electric dental hand pieces also produce less vibration, allowing the doctor to be far more precise. And, not only will the results of your treatment be noticeably better, the electric hand pieces are also virtually silent. Without the whine of the dental drill, you'll be able to relax throughout your treatment.

Q: Regex to validate only 0 value. Single 0 value to be validated I am working on a regx problem. I already have a regx like this [0-9]*([.][0-9]{2}). This is an amont format validation. Now with this validation I want to include that no 0 amount should be provided. Like 10 is valid but 0 should be invalid.
Example of some valid values
10.00
10
1

Invalid
0

Would be appropriated if you provide some answer or let me know how to to it.

A: You can change your regular expression as follows:
[1-9][0-9]*([.][0-9]{2})*

This will require at least one digit comprised between 1 and 9 before any other digit, and the optional trailing decimal value.
Example
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("[1-9][0-9]*([.][0-9]{2})*");
String[] test = {"10.00", "10", "1", "0", "00.0"};
for (String s: test) {
    System.out.printf("%s is matched? %b%n", s, p.matcher(s).find());
}

Output
10.00 is matched? true
10 is matched? true
1 is matched? true
0 is matched? false
00.0 is matched? false

The desert was calm. The sun slowly raised over the distant butte, warming my face from the chilly morning. Indian Creek was waking up, and I was beyond excited to start climbing. Our start-of-the-day, unfortunately, began searching for the rest of our party we were to meet up with the night before. Without them, there was to be no climbing. We searched all morning, leaving traces on message boards strewn across the area, hoping to communicate our location. My excitement turned to frustration and back to excitement when miraculously our driver spotted our lost party's truck and sped after them. It was like a scene out of a James Bond movie. We passed several cars before we got close enough to nearly rear-ending our friends. After what seemed to be a minute of honking, flashing and hollering out the window, they finally realized it was us. A sigh of relief came over us all; we were finally gonna get to climb.
Once at the wall, we were able to forget all about the crazy morning. It was all about climbing now. Everyone focused their attention on the preparation of crack climbing: Sorting gear, taping hands, mentally psyching each other up. It was time to forget all our worries and just climb.
I quickly learned that crack climbing is a very different sport than face climbing. I had a friend describe it once like this: Insert hand, break wrist. Insert foot, break ankle. As I learned the technique, I couldn't help but laugh; that's pretty much exactly what it feels like. So why do people do it? I'm not sure I can explain it, but I know I kept wanting more. There's a feeling, much like the feeling I had when I started climbing a year ago, when you are hanging on a wall that you shouldn't be hanging from, and you realize you got there under your own strength and ability. That's an incredible feeling.
By the end of the weekend, with new stories to tell and battle wounds to show off, we reluctantly left The Creek. I now see why so many climbers flock to this area. It seems to beckon, as if to say, "Try me". It all depends on if you're up for the challenge.


I have read through many of the answers here and sadly do not answer my query.
I had 2 cat sisters and sadly one of them was killed in a road accident 7 months ago. My cats were never that close and the vet told us that as solitary animals it would be unlikely for her sister to pine for her.
7 months later we are left with a kitty who cries constantly - throughout the day and night. We try not to pander to it in case this is fuelling the crying and feed her at set times in the day. We have to lock her downstairs as she will cry throughout the night or let her out overnight.
We try and love and fuss her but now she has become quite nasty with hissing and clawing at us.
We did have her checked over by the vet and had full bloods but she is very healthy.
We are not keen to get another cat currently as we are due to get married in a couple of months.
stimulated enough and is using her crying as a way of getting attention.
Getting another cat however is not necessarily the answer. there are no guarantees that she would get on with another cat and so could just increase your problems.
Hissing and general aggression is often a sign of fear rather than any real aggressive tenancies towards you. So I am wondering if something is upsetting her to the point where she is fearful and is reacting in this distressed way i.e calling and reacting badly towards you.
Has any thing changed in the area? Has a new cat entered the area and she can sense or smell them? Have changes happen around the home? Have routines been changed etc? Cats are very good at picking up on changes around them and so i don't know if your wedding plans have caused her some anxiety.
I have a page about anxious cats which you may find of further help. There are some herbal medications available which can help cats to calm down. I believe there are also plug in sprays which can also calm down a anxious cat.
Many thanks for your answers - we will try again with the pheromone plug ins and try and create a more playful home with her.

Bluebird Bio to lay off 30% of its employees to stay in business
ByTete Heigrujam
Bluebird Bio, a gene-therapy biotechnology company, has announced plans to cut down its budget and workforce for staying in business in the ensuing years.
Bluebird was recognized as one of the 13 biotech firms encountering a difficult financial future. All these 13 businesses have recently warned investors in filings with the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) of doubts about their ability to survive in business for the next 12 months.
According to Bluebird, it is planning to cut off its workforce by 30% for shedding costs to around $160 million over two years. The company staffed 518 people as of January 31st.
As per sources, Bluebird closed last year with cash and equivalents of around $442 million and recorded a net loss of around $563 million in 2021.
The firm is also downgrading its research focus and estimating a cash burn of below $340 million in 2022.
In its SEC filing, the firm said that Bluebird has planned to save money by rotating off its cancer research programs into an isolated company known as 2Seventy Bio, moving to Somerville from Cambridge, and shutting down its operations in Europe.
Notably, such events are often a way companies execute cost-saving measures like layoffs, debt financings, and sales of assets.
In the past year, the stock price of Bluebird has fallen by 70%, with the firm being valued at $370 million. Recently, the shares also traded down to 1%. Now, many of Bluebird's prospects will depend on approval decisions by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for its novel gene therapies.
The FDA is expected to announce a decision for Bluebird's beta-thalassemia treatment by August 19 and for a gene therapy treating a metabolic disorder termed cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy by September 16.

Q: make video from image file using ffmpeg i have 64 images sequence and i want to make a video using that images.
you can download the images here
i use ffmpeg in ubuntu.
here's my command
ffmpeg -r 60 -f image2 -s 1360x768 -i "/home/roylisto/Documents/Tugas Akhir/JAva version/UAVSystem/UAVSystem/tmp/result%d.png" -vcodec libx264 -crf 20 "/home/roylisto/Documents/Tugas Akhir/JAva version/UAVSystem/UAVSystem/render/test.mp4"

it works but only 39 images has generated to a video. My question is why ffmpeg not render all images in that folder into a video, what is my mistake and how to solve it?

ffmpeg requires that your images have the exact same dimensions.
To fix the problem install imagemagick (or graphicsmagick, which I prefer for MANY reasons)
and write:
# graphicsmagick
gm mogrify -size 480x360 tmp/*.png

# imagemagick
mogrify -size 480x360 tmp/*.png

At any rate, your ffmpeg command could be quite a bit more robust. (In fact, you called the rescaling too soon.) here is my ffmpeg recommendation for you:
ffmpeg -threads 0 -loglevel error -y -ar 48000 -ac 2 -f s16le -i /dev/zero \
-r 25/1 -f image2 -i "tmp/result%2d.png" -start_number 1 \
-c:a libfdk_aac -c:v libx264 -vf "fps=fps=25,format=pix_fmts=yuv420p" \
-s 1360x768 -crf 20 -shortest -vframes 64 "tmp/test.mp4"

Here is a breakdown:
You should have an audio track in your h264 file, because otherwise some syncing approaches on a variety of devices (e.g. arm) might not work and your playback rate will be mucked up.
I am not sure if it is just an old habit, but I have always put the -r 25/1 for -f image. Maybe that's just a thing one had to do but is no longer necessary...
You probably shouldn't start with a %d file-number that is 0, I always prefer to use padded numbers. (%2d = 01,02,03,04,05,06,07,08,09,10...) Linux usually gets it right, but other OS's will probably botch the sequence in the folder listings. If you "can't" rename the result0.png file, you could try adding the "-start_number 0" flag
It is a good idea to explicitly name the playback speed as in the -vf group.
If you don't switch the pixel encoding to yuv420p, then most non-linux systems will not
play the file.
The "-shortest" flag will end the transcoding when any stream has reached its end...
The "-vframes 64" flag will encode exactly 64 frames and then exit - unless it cannot encode that many frames and then it will hang forever... (This was actually my clue to your problem.)
Finally, you called the redimensioning too soon and therefore the video was not scaled. (-s 1360x768)


"When he was a second-grader in Chesterfield, Va., Denny Hamlin wrote that his goal was to win the Daytona 500 in a red, white and blue car that looked like Bill Elliott's.
Well, his dream came true on Sunday, when on his 11th try, Hamlin drove the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota to victory in NASCAR's biggest race. And afterward, Hamlin's mother, Mary Lou Hamlin, tweeted a picture of Hamlin's second-grade note.
"If I do win the Daytona 500, I could win 1,000,000 dollars," Hamlin wrote in his note."

Mai Ha is a Manchester-based hair stylist and makeup artist. After finishing school, the Northampton native went to college where she took a film makeup course and also completed her hairdressing training. As a part of the Trevor Sorbie Manchester artistic team, Mai brought home first place of the L'Oréal Colour Trophy Awards 2018.
What makes her a standout hair stylist is the coherent artistic vision that can be seen running throughout her work. Heavily inspired by cutting-edge fashion, Mai enjoys experimenting with unexpected materials – such as paper cut-outs, strings, or metal rods – and incorporates them into hairstyles to create unique textures. Even when these materials are used as an aiding tool in shaping the hair, she doesn't hide them, but instead accentuates them as part of the visual concept.

When did you know you wanted to be a hairdresser? I kind of fell into it, some of my friends were doing it and I didn't know what I wanted to do at the time, so I thought I'd give it a go.
You also do makeup – do you focus more time on one over the other or is it a pretty balanced work load? Yeah, I would love to do more makeup work, but always end up doing more hair as people know me for doing hair more I suppose.

What is your favourite thing about being a hair stylist? I love the job. It's always changing and giving me new challenges all the time. I never get bored of it.
You have a very interesting approach to incorporating non-hair elements into hairstyles and making them part of the texture and aesthetic. Where do you find inspirations for these hairstyles? I love the fashion industry and get a lot of inspiration from designers like Iris Van Herpen. She uses a lot of different materials apart from the obvious ones and still makes it look beautiful, so I adapt that concept for my hair ideas.
Photograph by Tom Connell
What was the single most time-consuming look you've ever done? Probably the paper looks, as they take so much time to make. And if you do the look again, you have to remake all of them which just takes a lot of time.
Last year you won the L'Oréal Colour Trophy. What was that like? And how important is it to receive recognition from your peers? It was amazing and it's been such a good year. L'Oréal has given me lots of opportunities and I really enjoyed the journey I've been on. I entered the competition for a number of years and it was good to finally win it for the Trevor Sorbie team and for myself.
Photograph by Xanthe Hutchinson
Are you going for a second win this year? I'm in for the men's category this year. We will see. You never know because the competition gets tougher every year, but it's always fun taking part in it.
What is your least favourite part about working in the hair industry? And what is your favourite? When assistants work for free. I think that everyone should get paid for assisting. And my favourite thing is that there are always so many different opportunities in the industry.

Morning TV Wars Explode! Matt Lauer & Megyn Kelly Battling ALREADY
May. 3 2017, Updated 2:47 p.m. ET
Just one day into her TODAY show tenure, Megyn Kelly has already put Matt Lauer on notice! RadarOnline.com has learned that battle lines are being drawn as staffers split up into Team Megyn and Team Matt.
On Monday, NBC announced that Kelly would move to the 9 a.m. hour of TODAY, and she visited the offices at 30 Rock for the first time to mark the big news and meet the staff.
Following her visit, an insider said, staffers and producers "were given the option to move from working with Matt to join Megyn's team."
And the response was overwhelming!
"It was almost embarrassing!" the source claimed. "Matt had no idea how much he was disliked until he saw how many people wanted to get away from him."
"Some producers want to move because they are excited by working with Megyn," the insider conceded, "but it seems like most of them signed up just to get away from Matt."
That number is only expected to increase, the insider said, after Kelly's impressive showing in the office on Monday.
"She's smart and wants to make friends," the source explained. "She knows morale is low at the show and all she has to do is act a little nicer than Matt, and everyone will love her."
Kelly – who's known for her witty comments and fierce personality – sent TODAY show employees in a panic back in January, when it was announced she would be leaving Fox News and taking over an hour of the show. But it seems tensions are easing and NBC employees are now hoping they get to closely work with her, according to the insider.
"Megyn is in this to win it," the source said. "Expect her to buy the entire staff pizza and cupcakes on Friday."
"Matt won't even know because he is out to play golf at 8:59 a.m.!" the source joked. "Almost the second he finishes filming, he is out."
Kelly's highly anticipated morning show is set to premiere in September.

Over the last few months Microsoft Teams has been making a great impact! It's been awesome to see an application that gives you the call and video functionality of Skype for Business and the collaboration strengths of SharePoint together with integration options with other application.
Over the last few days however there has been quite a lot of trouble with Microsoft Teams. Just to give a bit of an idea of the impact that faulty Channels in teams has, here is one of the conversations on Tech Community.
So how do you troubleshoot Teams.
Well that is the easy part!
I'm not going to try and understand all the messages here, but there seem to be two parts to this file.
This is followed by lines that have a time stamp, an message level and a message.
2017-08-03T14:28:22.730Z War conversationToChannel: ThreadTopic - Name mismatch!
The above errors show that there were some errors with the channels, which matches the issue in the above tech community link. Microsoft is currently working on this.
Great information for troubleshooting a fairly new product that isn't as well documented (yet).
I found the key combination on uservoice and I thought it's better to make is better known and share it here.
Thansk for the post, I'm sure that will be very useful in a near future!

''Este artículo trata sobre la Era Genji (元治). Del clan llamado Genji (源氏) o el principal personaje del libro Genji Monogatari, ver Clan Minamoto.

Genji (元治) fue el nombre de una era japonesa posterior a la Era Bunkyū y anterior a la Era Keiō, y abarcó desde el 27 de marzo de 1864 al 30 de abril de 1865. Reinó el Emperador Kōmei.

Cambio de era
Fue debido al comienzo del nuevo ciclo del zodíaco chino (60 años), por lo que desde el 27 de marzo de "Bunkyū 4" (1864), se produjo el cambio de era que pasó a llamarse Era Genji (Literalmente Era del "Dominio original").

Origen del nombre
Viene del I Ching.

Eventos importantes de la Era Genji
8 de julio de 1864 (Genji 1, quinto día del sexto mes): El Ikedaya Jiken, también conocido como el Asunto Ikedaya o Incidente Ikedaya, se desarrolló en el ryokan Ikedaya en Kioto.

12 de agosto de 1864 (Genji 1, undécimo día del séptimo mes): Sakuma Shōzan es asesinado a los 53 años. Había viajado de Edo a Kioto por orden del shogunato. Era partidario de las medidas que llevaran a la apertura del país, pero su voz fue acallada por la muerte a manos de un partidario del sonno joi.

El 5 de septiembre, Genji Gannen (quinto día del noveno mes del viejo calendario): Bombardeo de Shimonoseki.

Genji, Era


5.47pm EST 17:47 West Indies 45 all out. England win by 137 runs.
So, England's biggest ever win in T20 cricket. As Morgan says, they managed to adapt to the different conditions, the pitch, the grey skies, and a bad start. A clever, charming, innings from Joe Root, a barnstorming one from Sam Billings, wonderful bowling from Chris Jordan - "quick deliveries, back of a length" and important wickets from David Willey.
So after losing the Test series and drawing the ODIs, England will come away from the West Indies with a trophy after all. The final T20 game is on Sunday, a last chance for England's players to make a bid for World Cup places before the games against Pakistan. OBO will be (virtually) there. That's it from me, goodnight!
Player of the match is Sam Billings for his highest IT20 score.
West Indies 45 all out. England win by 137 runs.
Well, that was West Indies lowest total in T20 internationals and the second lowest total in IT20 history. It was an absolute thrashing by England, who now have the self-confidence and the personnel to recover from a terrible start.
Bishoo takes a wild swing and is caught by that man Billings reversing at cover and that is curtains.
11th over: West Indies 41-9 ( McCoy 1, Bishoo 1) McCoy is having an interesting debut - coming in at 39 for 9 to face the legspinner. He manages a single, as a beautiful sail boat lingers in Sky's lens.
10th over: West Indies 39-8 ( Cottrell 1, Bishoo 1) Plunkett tries a bouncer at Cottrell, who doesn't look entirely comfortable, hiding his head under his wing and defending desperately.
Avitaj Mitra is mulling over the summer.
"How do you rate West Indies's chances at the World Cup?Clearly, the mercurial talent is there, and on their day, they can be unbeatable. (Especially if Gayle fires)But is it realistic to expect them to get to the semis at least?
I reckon they're worth a punt on team-spirit alone Avitaj. But England look the more complete side (though they too are prone to a bad day)..
9th over: West Indies 37-8 ( Cottrell 1, Bishoo 1) Bishoo has come to the crease dressed as the michelin man, wearing a chest pad that seems to have been cut, roughly, from his grandma's sofa. Two from Rashid's over, not that it really matters.
8th over: West Indies 35-8 ( Cottrell 0, Bishoo 1) Plunkett gets in on the act. Can any of the West Indies batsmen practise a little gentle gardening, a soft tap, an ambling single?
Hetmyer sends Plunkett into the stratosphere - when it eventually returns Willey initially flunks it , slips, and catches the rebound on his sizeable chest.
7th over: West Indies 33-7 ( Hetmyer 9, Bishoo 0) What a shambles from the West Indies batsmen. Brathwaite slogs Rashid for a straight six and then, trying out a ridiculously ugly swipe ends up both inelegantly on his bum, and out.

Professor Tony Whetton, Director | Stoller Biomarker Discovery Centre
The Stoller Biomarker Discovery Centre finds protein markers in blood, which can be used to stop patients being given treatments that won't improve their condition. Currently, many diseases are treated with a "trial and error" approach where doctors prescribe a drug which will be effective in some patients, but not in others. These markers will be developed to ensure doctors can prescribe the right treatment for the right patient as early as possible.

śrī-nāradaḥ uvāca — Nārada Muni said; hiraṇyakaśipuḥ — the demoniac king Hiraṇyakaśipu; rājan — O King Yudhiṣṭhira; ajeyam — unconquerable by any enemy; ajara — without old age or disease; amaram — immortal; ātmānam — himself; apratidvandvam — without any rival or opponent; eka-rājam — the one king of the universe; vyadhitsata — desired to become.
Nārada Muni said to Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira: The demoniac king Hiraṇyakaśipu wanted to be unconquerable and free from old age and dwindling of the body. He wanted to gain all the yogic perfections like aṇimā and laghimā, to be deathless, and to be the only king of the entire universe, including Brahmaloka.
saḥ — he (Hiraṇyakaśipu); tepe — performed; mandara-droṇyām — in a valley of Mandara Hill; tapaḥ — austerity; parama — most; dāruṇam — difficult; ūrdhva — raising; bāhuḥ — arms; nabhaḥ — toward the sky; dṛṣṭiḥ — his vision; pāda-aṅguṣṭha — with the big toes of his feet; āśrita — resting on; avaniḥ — the ground.
In the valley of Mandara Hill, Hiraṇyakaśipu began performing his austerities by standing with his toes on the ground, keeping his arms upward and looking toward the sky. This position was extremely difficult, but he accepted it as a means to attain perfection.
jaṭā-dīdhitibhiḥ — by the effulgence of the hair on his head; reje — was shining; saṁvarta-arkaḥ — the sun at the time of destruction; iva — like; aṁśubhiḥ — by the beams; tasmin — when he (Hiraṇyakaśipu); tapaḥ — austerities; tapyamāne — was engaged in; devāḥ — all the demigods who were wandering throughout the universe to see Hiraṇyakaśipu's demoniac activities; sthānāni — to their own places; bhejire — returned.
From the hair on Hiraṇyakaśipu's head there emanated an effulgent light as brilliant and intolerable as the rays of the sun at the time of dissolution. Seeing the performance of such austere penances, the demigods, who had been wandering throughout the planets, now returned to their respective homes.
tasya — his; mūrdhnaḥ — from the head; samudbhūtaḥ — generated; sa-dhūmaḥ — with smoke; agniḥ — fire; tapaḥ-mayaḥ — because of severe austerities; tīryak — sideways; ūrdhvam — upward; adhaḥ — downward; lokān — all the planets; prātapat — heated; viṣvak — all around; īritaḥ — spreading.
Because of Hiraṇyakaśipu's severe austerities, fire came from his head, and this fire and its smoke spread throughout the sky, encompassing the upper and lower planets, which all became extremely hot.
cukṣubhuḥ — became agitated; nadī-udanvantaḥ — the rivers and oceans; sa-dvīpa — with the islands; adriḥ — and mountains; cacāla — trembled; bhūḥ — the surface of the globe; nipetuḥ — fell; sa-grahāḥ — with the planets; tārāḥ — the stars; jajvaluḥ — blazed; ca — also; diśaḥ daśa — the ten directions.
Because of the power of his severe austerities, all the rivers and oceans were agitated, the surface of the globe, with its mountains and islands, began trembling, and the stars and planets fell. All directions were ablaze.
tena — by that (fire of austerity); taptāḥ — burned; divam — their residential quarters in the upper planets; tyaktvā — giving up; brahma-lokam — to the planet where Lord Brahmā lives; yayuḥ — went; surāḥ — the demigods; dhātre — unto the chief of this universe, Lord Brahmā; vijñāpayām āsuḥ — submitted; deva-deva — O chief of the demigods; jagat-pate — O master of the universe; daitya-indra-tapasā — by the severe austerity performed by the King of the Daityas, Hiraṇyakaśipu; taptāḥ — roasted; divi — on the heavenly planets; sthātum — to stay; na — not; śaknumaḥ — we are able.
Scorched and extremely disturbed because of Hiraṇyakaśipu's severe penances, all the demigods left the planets where they reside and went to the planet of Lord Brahmā, where they informed the creator as follows: O lord of the demigods, O master of the universe, because of the fire emanating from Hiraṇyakaśipu's head as a result of his severe austerities, we have become so disturbed that we could not stay in our planets but have come to you.
tasya — of this; ca — indeed; upaśamam — the cessation; bhūman — O great personality; vidhehi — please execute; yadi — if; manyase — you think it right; lokāḥ — all the inhabitants of the various planets; na — not; yāvat — as long as; naṅkṣyanti — will be lost; bali-hārāḥ — who are obedient to the worship; tava — of you; abhibhūḥ — O chief of all the universe.
O great person, chief of the universe, if you think it proper, kindly stop these disturbances, meant to destroy everything, before all your obedient subjects are annihilated.
tasya — his; ayam — this; kila — indeed; saṅkalpaḥ — determination; carataḥ — who is executing; duścaram — very difficult; tapaḥ — austerity; śrūyatām — let it be heard; kim — what; na — not; viditaḥ — known; tava — of you; athāpi — still; niveditam — submitted.
Hiraṇyakaśipu has undertaken a most severe type of austerity. Although his plan is not unknown to you, kindly listen as we submit his intentions.
sṛṣṭvā — creating; cara — moving; acaram — and not moving; idam — this; tapaḥ — of austerity; yoga — and mystic power; samādhinā — by practicing the trance; adhyāste — is situated in; sarva-dhiṣṇyebhyaḥ — than all the planets, including the heavenly planets; parameṣṭhī — Lord Brahmā; nija-āsanam — his own throne; tat — therefore; aham — I; vardhamānena — by dint of increasing; tapaḥ — austerity; yoga — mystic powers; samādhinā — and trance; kāla — of time; ātmanoḥ — and of the soul; ca — and; nityatvāt — from the eternality; sādhayiṣye — shall achieve; tathā — so much; ātmanaḥ — for my personal self.
"The supreme person within this universe, Lord Brahmā, has gotten his exalted post by dint of severe austerities, mystic power and trance. Consequently, after creating the universe, he has become the most worshipable demigod within it. Since I am eternal and time is eternal, I shall endeavor for such austerity, mystic power and trance for many, many births, and thus I shall occupy the same post occupied by Lord Brahmā.
anyathā — just the opposite; idam — this universe; vidhāsye — shall make; aham — I; ayathā — inappropriate; pūrvam — as it was before; ojasā — by dint of the power of my austerity; kim — what use; anyaiḥ — with other; kāla-nirdhūtaiḥ — vanquished in due course of time; kalpa-ante — at the end of the millennium; vaiṣṇava-ādibhiḥ — with planets like Dhruvaloka or Vaikuṇṭhaloka.
iti — in this way; śuśruma — we have heard; nirbandham — strong determination; tapaḥ — austerity; paramam — very severe; āsthitaḥ — is situated in; vidhatsva — please take steps; anantaram — as soon as possible; yuktam — befitting; svayam — yourself; tri-bhuvana-īśvara — O master of the three worlds.
O lord, we have heard from reliable sources that in order to obtain your post, Hiraṇyakaśipu is now engaged in severe austerity. You are the master of the three worlds. Please, without delay, take whatever steps you deem appropriate.
tava — your; āsanam — position on the throne; dvija — of the brahminical culture or the brāhmaṇas; gavām — of the cows; pārameṣṭhyam — supreme; jagat-pate — O master of the whole universe; bhavāya — for improvement; śreyase — for the ultimate happiness; bhūtyai — for increasing the opulence; kṣemāya — for the maintenance and good fortune; vijayāya — for the victory and increasing prestige; ca — and.
O Lord Brahmā, your position within this universe is certainly most auspicious for everyone, especially the cows and brāhmaṇas. Brahminical culture and the protection of cows can be increasingly glorified, and thus all kinds of material happiness, opulence and good fortune will automatically increase. But unfortunately, if Hiraṇyakaśipu occupies your seat, everything will be lost.
iti — thus; vijñāpitaḥ — informed; devaiḥ — by all the demigods; bhagavān — the most powerful; ātma-bhūḥ — Lord Brahmā, who was born from the lotus flower; nṛpa — O King; paritaḥ — being surrounded; bhṛgu — by Bhṛgu; dakṣa — Dakṣa; ādyaiḥ — and others; yayau — went; daitya-īśvara — of Hiraṇyakaśipu, the King of the Daityas; āśramam — to the place of austerity.
O King, being thus informed by the demigods, the most powerful Lord Brahmā, accompanied by Bhṛgu, Dakṣa and other great sages, immediately started for the place where Hiraṇyakaśipu was performing his penances and austerities.
na — not; dadarśa — saw; praticchannam — covered; valmīka — by an anthill; tṛṇa — grass; kīcakaiḥ — and bamboo sticks; pipīlikābhiḥ — by the ants; ācīrṇam — eaten all around; medaḥ — whose fat; tvak — skin; māṁsa — the flesh; śoṇitam — and blood; tapantam — heating; tapasā — by a severe type of penance; lokān — all the three worlds; yathā — just as; abhra — by clouds; apihitam — covered; ravim — the sun; vilakṣya — seeing; vismitaḥ — struck with wonder; prāha — said; hasan — smiling; tam — to him; haṁsa-vāhanaḥ — Lord Brahmā, who rides a swan airplane.
Lord Brahmā, who is carried by a swan airplane, at first could not see where Hiraṇyakaśipu was, for Hiraṇyakaśipu's body was covered by an anthill and by grass and bamboo sticks. Because Hiraṇyakaśipu had been there for a long time, the ants had devoured his skin, fat, flesh and blood. Then Lord Brahmā and the demigods spotted him, resembling a cloud-covered sun, heating all the world by his austerity. Struck with wonder, Lord Brahmā began to smile and then addressed him as follows.
śrī-brahmā uvāca — Lord Brahmā said; uttiṣṭha — please get up; uttiṣṭha — get up; bhadram — good fortune; te — unto you; tapaḥ-siddhaḥ — perfect in executing austerities; asi — you are; kāśyapa — O son of Kaśyapa; vara-daḥ — the giver of benediction; aham — I; anuprāptaḥ — arrived; vriyatām — let it be submitted; īpsitaḥ — desired; varaḥ — benediction.
Lord Brahmā said: O son of Kaśyapa Muni, please get up, please get up. All good fortune unto you. You are now perfect in the performance of your austerities, and therefore I may give you a benediction. You may now ask from me whatever you desire, and I shall try to fulfill your wish.
adrākṣam — have personally seen; aham — I; etam — this; te — your; hṛt-sāram — power of endurance; mahat — very great; adbhutam — wonderful; daṁśa-bhakṣita — eaten by worms and ants; dehasya — whose body; prāṇāḥ — the life air; hi — indeed; asthiṣu — in the bones; śerate — is taking shelter.
I have been very much astonished to see your endurance. In spite of being eaten and bitten by all kinds of worms and ants, you are keeping your life air circulating within your bones. Certainly this is wonderful.
na — not; etat — this; pūrva-ṛṣayaḥ — the sages before you, such as Bhṛgu; cakruḥ — executed; na — nor; kariṣyanti — will execute; ca — also; apare — others; nirambuḥ — without drinking water; dhārayet — can sustain; prāṇān — the life air; kaḥ — who; vai — indeed; divya-samāḥ — celestial years; śatam — one hundred.
Even saintly persons like Bhṛgu, born previously, could not perform such severe austerities, nor will anyone in the future be able to do so. Who within these three worlds can sustain his life without even drinking water for one hundred celestial years?
vyavasāyena — by determination; te — your; anena — this; duṣkareṇa — difficult to perform; manasvinām — even for great sages and saintly persons; tapaḥ-niṣṭhena — aimed at executing austerity; bhavatā — by you; jitaḥ — conquered; aham — I; diti-nandana — O son of Diti.
śrī-nāradaḥ uvāca — Śrī Nārada Muni said; iti — thus; uktvā — saying; ādi-bhavaḥ — Lord Brahmā, the original living creature within this universe; devaḥ — the principal demigod; bhakṣita-aṅgam — Hiraṇyakaśipu's body, which had been almost completely eaten; pipīlikaiḥ — by the ants; kamaṇḍalu — from the special waterpot in the hands of Lord Brahmā; jalena — by water; aukṣat — sprinkled; divyena — which was spiritual, not ordinary; amogha — without fail; rādhasā — whose power.
Śrī Nārada Muni continued: After speaking these words to Hiraṇyakaśipu, Lord Brahmā, the original being of this universe, who is extremely powerful, sprinkled transcendental, infallible, spiritual water from his kamaṇḍalu upon Hiraṇyakaśipu's body, which had been eaten away by ants and moths. Thus he enlivened Hiraṇyakaśipu.
saḥ — Hiraṇyakaśipu; tat — that; kīcaka-valmīkāt — from the anthill and bamboo grove; sahaḥ — mental strength; ojaḥ — strength of the senses; bala — and sufficient bodily strength; anvitaḥ — endowed with; sarva — all; avayava — the limbs of the body; sampannaḥ — fully restored; vajra-saṁhananaḥ — having a body as strong as a thunderbolt; yuvā — young; utthitaḥ — arisen; tapta-hema-ābhaḥ — whose bodily luster became like molten gold; vibhāvasuḥ — fire; iva — like; edhasaḥ — from fuel wood.
As soon as he was sprinkled with the water from Lord Brahmā's waterpot, Hiraṇyakaśipu arose, endowed with a full body with limbs so strong that they could bear the striking of a thunderbolt. With physical strength and a bodily luster resembling molten gold, he emerged from the anthill a completely young man, just as fire springs from fuel wood.
saḥ — he (Hiraṇyakaśipu); nirīkṣya — seeing; ambare — in the sky; devam — the supreme demigod; haṁsa-vāham — who rides a swan airplane; upasthitam — situated before him; nanāma — offered obeisances; śirasā — with his head; bhūmau — on the ground; tat-darśana — by seeing Lord Brahmā; mahā-utsavaḥ — very much pleased.
Seeing Lord Brahmā present before him in the sky, carried by his swan airplane, Hiraṇyakaśipu was extremely pleased. He immediately fell flat with his head on the ground and began to express his obligation to the lord.
utthāya — getting up; prāñjaliḥ — with folded hands; prahvaḥ — in a humble manner; īkṣamāṇaḥ — seeing; dṛśā — with his eyes; vibhum — the supreme person within this universe; harṣa — of jubilation; aśru — with tears; pulaka — with hairs standing on the body; udbhedaḥ — enlivened; girā — by words; gadgadayā — faltering; agṛṇāt — prayed.
Then, getting up from the ground and seeing Lord Brahmā before him, the head of the Daityas was overwhelmed by jubilation. With tears in his eyes, his whole body shivering, he began praying in a humble mood, with folded hands and a faltering voice, to satisfy Lord Brahmā.
śrī-hiraṇyakaśipuḥ uvāca — Hiraṇyakaśipu said; kalpa-ante — at the end of every day of Lord Brahmā; kāla-sṛṣṭena — created by the time factor; yaḥ — he who; andhena — by dense darkness; tamasā — by ignorance; āvṛtam — covered; abhivyanak — manifested; jagat — cosmic manifestation; idam — this; svayam-jyotiḥ — self-effulgent; sva-rociṣā — by his bodily rays; ātmanā — by himself; tri-vṛtā — conducted by the three modes of material nature; ca — also; idam — this material world; sṛjati — creates; avati — maintains; lumpati — annihilates; rajaḥ — of the mode of passion; sattva — the mode of goodness; tamaḥ — and the mode of ignorance; dhāmne — unto the supreme lord; parāya — unto the supreme; mahate — unto the great; namaḥ — my respectful obeisances.
Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto the supreme lord within this universe. At the end of each day of his life, the universe is fully covered with dense darkness by the influence of time, and then again, during his next day, that self-effulgent lord, by his own effulgence, manifests, maintains and destroys the entire cosmic manifestation through the material energy, which is invested with the three modes of material nature. He, Lord Brahmā, is the shelter of those modes of nature — sattva-guṇa, rajo-guṇa and tamo-guṇa.
namaḥ — I offer my respectful obeisances; ādyāya — unto the original living creature; bījāya — the seed of the cosmic manifestation; jñāna — of knowledge; vijñāna — and of practical application; mūrtaye — unto the deity or form; prāṇa — of the life air; indriya — of the senses; manaḥ — of the mind; buddhi — of the intelligence; vikāraiḥ — by transformations; vyaktim — manifestation; īyuṣe — who has obtained.
I offer my obeisances to the original personality within this universe, Lord Brahmā, who is cognizant and who can apply his mind and realized intelligence in creating this cosmic manifestation. It is because of his activities that everything within the universe is visible. He is therefore the cause of all manifestations.
tvam — you; īśiṣe — actually control; jagataḥ — of the moving being; tasthuṣaḥ — of the being that is dull or stationed in one place; ca — and; prāṇena — by the living force; mukhyena — the origin of all activities; patiḥ — master; prajānām — of all living entities; cittasya — of the mind; cittaiḥ — by the consciousness; manaḥ — of the mind; indriyāṇām — and of the two kinds of senses (acting and knowledge-gathering); patiḥ — the master; mahān — great; bhūta — of the material elements; guṇa — and the qualities of the material elements; āśaya — of desires; īśaḥ — the supreme master.
Your Lordship, being the origin of the life of this material world, is the master and controller of the living entities, both moving and stationary, and you inspire their consciousness. You maintain the mind and the acting and knowledge-acquiring senses, and therefore you are the great controller of all the material elements and their qualities, and you are the controller of all desires.
tvam — you; sapta-tantūn — the seven kinds of Vedic ritualistic ceremonies, beginning from the agniṣṭoma-yajña; vitanoṣi — spread; tanvā — by your body; trayyā — the three Vedas; catuḥ-hotraka — of the four kinds of Vedic priests, known as hotā, adhvaryu, brahma and udgātā; vidyayā — by the necessary knowledge; ca — also; tvam — you; ekaḥ — one; ātmā — the Supersoul; ātma-vatām — of all living entities; anādiḥ — without beginning; ananta-pāraḥ — without end; kaviḥ — the supreme inspirer; antaḥ-ātmā — the Supersoul within the core of the heart.
My dear lord, by your form as the Vedas personified and through knowledge relating to the activities of all the yajñic brāhmaṇas, you spread the Vedic ritualistic ceremonies of the seven kinds of sacrifices, headed by agniṣṭoma. Indeed, you inspire the yajñic brāhmaṇas to perform the rituals mentioned in the three Vedas. Being the Supreme Soul, the Supersoul of all living entities, you are beginningless, endless and omniscient, beyond the limits of time and space.
tvam — you; eva — indeed; kālaḥ — unlimited time; animiṣaḥ — unblinking; janānām — of all living entities; āyuḥ — the duration of life; lava-ādi — consisting of seconds, moments, minutes and hours; avayavaiḥ — by different parts; kṣiṇoṣi — reduce; kūṭa-sthaḥ — without being affected by anything; ātmā — the Supersoul; parameṣṭhī — the Supreme Lord; ajaḥ — the unborn; mahān — the great; tvam — you; jīva-lokasya — of this material world; ca — also; jīvaḥ — the cause of life; ātmā — the Supersoul.
O my lord, Your Lordship is eternally awake, seeing everything that happens. As eternal time, you reduce the duration of life for all living entities through your different parts, such as moments, seconds, minutes and hours. Nonetheless, you are unchanged, resting in one place as the Supersoul, witness and Supreme Lord, the birthless, all-pervading controller who is the cause of life for all living entities.
tvattaḥ — from you; param — higher; na — not; aparam — lower; api — even; anejat — not moving; ejat — moving; ca — and; kiñcit — anything; vyatiriktam — separate; asti — there is; vidyāḥ — knowledge; kalāḥ — its parts; te — of you; tanavaḥ — features of the body; ca — and; sarvāḥ — all; hiraṇya-garbhaḥ — the one who keeps the universe within his abdomen; asi — you are; bṛhat — greater than the greatest; tri-pṛṣṭhaḥ — transcendental to the three modes of material nature.
There is nothing separate from you, whether it be better or lower, stationary or moving. The knowledge derived from the Vedic literatures like the Upaniṣads, and from all the sub-limbs of the original Vedic knowledge, form your external body. You are Hiraṇyagarbha, the reservoir of the universe, but nonetheless, being situated as the supreme controller, you are transcendental to the material world, which consists of the three modes of material nature.
vyaktam — manifested; vibho — O my lord; sthūlam — cosmic manifestation; idam — this; śarīram — external body; yena — by which; indriya — the senses; prāṇa — the life air; manaḥ — the mind; guṇān — transcendental qualities; tvam — you; bhuṅkṣe — enjoy; sthitaḥ — situated; dhāmani — in your own abode; pārameṣṭhye — the supreme; avyaktaḥ — not manifested through ordinary knowledge; ātmā — the soul; puruṣaḥ — the supreme person; purāṇaḥ — the oldest.
O my lord, being changelessly situated in your own abode, you expand your universal form within this cosmic manifestation, thus appearing to taste the material world. You are Brahman, the Supersoul, the oldest, the Personality of Godhead.
ananta-avyakta-rūpeṇa — by the unlimited, unmanifested form; yena — by which; idam — this; akhilam — total aggregate; tatam — expanded; cit — with spiritual; acit — and material; śakti — potency; yuktāya — unto he who is endowed; tasmai — unto him; bhagavate — unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead; namaḥ — I offer my respectful obeisances.
Let me offer my respectful obeisances unto the Supreme, who in his unlimited, unmanifested form has expanded the cosmic manifestation, the form of the totality of the universe. He possesses external and internal energies and the mixed energy called the marginal potency, which consists of all the living entities.

Davante Adams says Vegas defensive end was 'snubbed' from All-Pro team
Davante Adams was named a First-team All-Pro for the third straight season, but he was shocked that his teammate wasn't named to the high honor.
Las Vegas Raiders' Maxx Crosby was left off the All-Pro lists, much to both his and Adams' dismay.

When the All-Pro teams were announced, Crosby was left almost speechless. He reacted with just one word.
Adams took to Twitter a little over a half hour later and backed up his teammate.
"Maxx was brutally snubbed and somebody needs to be held accountable," Adams tweeted.
Crosby was a Second-team All-Pro last season and was named to his second straight Pro Bowl this season, but he certainly has a gripe.
Davante Adams, #17 of the Las Vegas Raiders, and Maxx Crosby, #98 of the Las Vegas Raiders, share a moment as they walk to the sideline prior to a preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings at Allegiant Stadium on August 14, 2022, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
BROWNS' JADEVEON CLOWNEY APOLOGIZES TO MYLES GARRETT, SAYS COMMENTS WERE 'COMPLETELY MISREPRESENTED'
His 12.5 sacks were a career high, as were his 88 tackles. He was tied for eighth in the NFL in sacks (fifth-most by an end), but he led the league in tackles for loss with 22.
Each edge rusher who was named an All-Pro (Nick Bosa, Micah Parsons, Myles Garrett, and Haason Reddick) had more sacks on the year. However, 14 defensive ends had more sacks than he did in 2021, yet he was still able to crack the second team.

Crosby's Raiders went 6-11 this year, which was third in the AFC West after last year's playoff appearance.

You are supporting a good cause.
Unless you specify other, I will upload your name on bikesandtech.com, within Section 5: "¡Thanks, sponsors!".
i will send you one postcard from one of the cities I'm passing through, thanking you, personally.
Each Km will have a name. Let's name all the way up!
I'm counting on 40 stages.
Most of them cycling. Some, taking part of activities, talks and/or events.
I will send you two (2) postcards, I will mention you on a blog or vlog report.
I will offer myself to talk at any event related to cycling safety or urban planning.
Taking part at any of these, along the route, or once this campaing ends, in Madrid, Spain.
Let me carry your Logo!
I will be passing through the most bike-friendly cities in Europe. I will take part in events, talks, activities and I will be featured in media.
Do you want your logo on me or my bike?
The perfect option for cycling or tech brands to enhance visibility!
Please note: this is a "terminator" bike, made out of different parts, assembled by me, kindly donated by Cyke Köket, a Swedish NGO for social bikes.
The real value here is the emotional link every Km we cycle together.
send you 3 postcards from different cities along the route.
Sponsorship of the final Stage! The arrival!!!
The minimum required equipment to accomplish the scope of cycling Stockholm to Brussels safely.
Technology applied for the bicycle: lights, energy savers, specific tracking application, prototype for intuitive SatNav.
Expenses to arrive to departure point and travel from arrival point to "Headquarters": Madrid.
Minimum of donation for Association DIA, for victims of road accidents.
Development of an intuitive SatNav system which will help to reduce the reasons of cycling accidents dramatically in urban roads. The more we reach, the better and faster we can have the prototype and proof of concept and, eventually, a commercially viable product. From an app to a whole system. It makes a difference.
Donation to Association DIA, for victims of road accidents.
We are honoured to donate part of the funding to Association DIA, for victims of road accidents. Since it's hard to be specific about the amount, this is just an estimation. We hope to raise and donate more. There will be an event with the donation.
I have estimated around 20€ per day for general food, cereal bars and energy beverages.
Though we are many involved in the project, sometimes we need more people to cover parts of the work where we have no expertise. They can make a huge difference.
On 26/07/2016, I will start cycling from Stockholm to Brussels, through Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Hamburg and Amsterdam, some of the most "bike-friendly" cities in the EU.
This project has a Mission: to promote the use of bicycles by making cycling safer. The cyclists need to feel safer in order to ride more. Bicycles bring more benefits to society than we believe: health, environment and economy.
This project is also backing a Cause: to raise awareness for those cyclist who are/were victims of a road accident. Over 2000 cyclists are killed in the EU every year. Not to mention many hundred of thousands who are injured as well.
Along the route, I will be joining events, "days-out", talks and other activities, whenever possible, promoted by cycling groups or associations.
Blinkker is the company behind this event, which is currently working on the development of solutions with a big social impact. Most of them are related to safety for cyclists and are referred to both the bicycle itself and the environment.
With you help, we can collaborate in both ways: raise to donate to a Road Victims Association DIA, and also help to develope further solutions, more events, projects and campaigns with one scope: to make the road a safer place for cyclists.
Bikes&Tech is about a solo cycling trip from Stockholm to the EU Parliament in Brussels.
The cyclist will be sleeping in a tent.
Some stops are scheduled in bike-friendly cities: Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Hamburg and Amsterdam.
AWARENESS: for cyclists who are victim, killed or injured, of road accidents. With over 2000 killed and over 250.000 injured just in the EU... it is too much. Time to put this big problem over the table and campaigning is a good start. Social Media, live events, talks, activities and more campaigns are needed. Education is vital for both: drivers and cyclists.
a) cover some of the expenses of this project.
b) donate part of the funding to Association DIA, for victims of road accidents.
Any cyclist. Urban or not. No matter the age (my grandpa was cycling until he was 90 years old. Word).
Associations or groups devoted to help, mitigate, reduce, campaign the effects of road accidents.
Communities or groups that can be primarily affected by road accidents.
Departments of Traffic or similars, since they can boost campaigns like this.
Main objective is to enhance visibility for a Cause and raise awareness for cyclists who are victim of road accidents.
Any help on social media (by using links to the campaign's website or crowdfunding platform or by using #bikesandtech) or offline talks to Associations or cycling groups is priceless.
We believe that this problem has a reason and a solution: the more bicycles on the road, the more the drivers will get used to see and respect them. Hence, it is needed to give more visibility to this problem. Raise awareness!
I have been an urban cyclist since I was a kid and had to fight my parents to let me go to High School by bike. Since then, I have used a bike almost everywhere I could (well, in Cairo (Egypt) was rather impossible to use).
In my free time, I started working on technology-based projects, focused on bicycles and its world, back in 2014. I'm focusing 100% on them now.
Axel Ostlund is taking care of Logistics at departure: Stockholm.
Lola Baro is the best Marketing advisor and responsible of the campaign while I'm cycling.
Alvaro Isorna, who created the amazing tracking app that I will be using on the trip.
Paty Trejo is taking care of Logistics (events and communication) at arrival in Brussels.
Cykel Köket, is a Swedish NGO providing with "the bike" and technical assitance along Sweden (most of the route).
Danny Quanstrom and his crazy ideas are just adding good stuff from London, UK.
My passion for photography started during my years in Egypt. Since then, I have always looking forward for the chance to explore beautiful landscapes and folklore scenes wherever I go. This will not be an exception to it. I will upload a link to the Photo albums, at the end of the campaign, for everyone.
Whenever I have the chance and the time and a switch of enough battery, I will be updating a Blog summarizing stages and events... and thoughts. You will be able to find it on a link at the website.
As well as I can write, I will try to upload videos summarizing stages or events to Blinkker's Youtube channel. You will find the link on the website.
As soon I finish the trip I hope to reach funds enough to finish this real-time tracking app, bespoke for Bikes&Tech. Thanks to it, anyone will be able to see my position at any moment. A way to make it easier to follow or just pass by say hi :) You will have it available, as soon as it's ready, on a link at the website.
Acces to someone who can be interested in this campaign inside the local Transportation scheme companies? Please share and let them share!
Whistle on Facebook or Twitter or e-mail if you know any group along the route with planned activities. I'd love to join and share the experience!!


There are a lot of people, especially women, who think that eggs are caloric and that is why they avoid including them in their diet. However, this is not exactly true. Eggs do not contain a lot of calories and are very healthy. A couple of eggs a day will make one's diet even healthier than it is and not to mention more delicious.
Today we have prepared for you a couple of easy, fast, and delicious recipes you can try on your own at home to have a healthy meal that will give you quite a lot of energy. If you are already curious, check out the recipes!
First, you need to boil the eggs. It is better to hard boil them for this recipe. Put them in a big pan of water and heat it. Once the water starts boiling, set a timer for 12 minutes. This way you will have hard-boiled eggs. Or if you want you can use an egg-boiler.
When the eggs are boiled, take the pan off the hot plate and leave it aside for about 10 minutes. Then put the eggs in a bowl full of ice cubes and let them stay there for 10 more minutes. This way when you start peeling them, it will be a piece of cake.
After you have peeled the eggs, cut them in half vertically. Take the boiled egg yolks from the egg whites. Put all the egg yolks in a bowl and mash them. You could do it with some fork even.
Get the avocados and cut them in half vertically as well. Remove the stones and scrape the avocado flesh from the peel. Cut the scraped flesh in small cubes and add them into the bowl with the egg yolks.
Then you need to add the tablespoons of lime juice into the bowl as well. You will need about a lime for this. Then season them with some salt and pepper to your taste. Mix the ingredients in the bowl a little.
Then get the tomato and wash it. Dice it and the pieces into the bowl as well. Chop the cilantro and add it into the bowl. Chop the onion and add it into the bowl as well. Mince the garlic and then add it into the bowl with the rest of the ingredients.
Mix all the ingredients in the bowl a little and then mash them using a fork again. Then continue mixing them until it turns all into a homogeneous paste. When the sauce is ready, you need to move on to the last step.
Line the egg whites halves in a tin and fill them with a spoonful of the egg yolk sauce. Do not worry if some of the sauce is a little bit above the surface of the egg whites.
Once you have filled in all the egg white halves, you need to garnish them with a small piece of taco. Stick a piece of taco into each one of the egg halves. You can also add some small leaf of parsley to garnish it with as well.
And voila, the guacamole eggs are ready!
First you need to get a deep pan and heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in it. Then cut the chicken breast in pieces which are big enough for a bite. Add them into the heated pan. Cook them for half a minute and then add season the chicken with salt and pepper. Stir the chicken pieces.
In a minute add the garlic cloves, which you can chop beforehand if you want. Wash the asparagus and cut them into 8 centimeter pieces and add them into the pan.
Cook everything well for some more time by constantly mixing it. Then season the ingredients with the soy sauce and mix the ingredients once more. Then add the three eggs, which you need to whisk before you add them into the pan. Continue cooking the dish until the eggs are nicely cooked. Lastly, you need to add the cooked noodles into the pan and cook the dish for one more minute by mixing all the ingredients well.
After that you need to take off the pan from the hot plate and serve the dish. Enjoy your meal!
