✓built-in thumb keypad, camera and MP3 player.
Sony is putting a new twist on handhelds. Not only does the CLIE PEG-NR70V have a slick clamshell design with a swivelling display, but it also houses a built-in digital camera, a keypad and a host of multimedia functions. Roughly the size of a cigarette case, this CLIE will no doubt turn heads. But with an asking price of £449.30 (inc. VAT), Sony is catapulting Palm OS devices into the high-end Pocket PC range.
When you open the NR70V, it's easy to confuse it for some ultramodern cellular flip phone, but unfortunately, there are no wireless features built in. The large, colourful 320 by 480-pixel transflective LCD is the first thing that you'll notice. The high resolution makes photos look especially good, although the difference is somewhat less noticeable when using third-party applications such as AvantGo.
The screen feels extra large because this model -- like all Pocket PCs and the HandEra 330 -- uses a virtual Graffiti area. As an added benefit, you see your stylus strokes on the screen, which makes it easier to write accurately.
If you prefer the BlackBerry school of data entry, the NR70V's small, built-in thumb keypad is among the better examples that we've tested, largely because the keys are well spaced. Above the keypad, you'll find the usual four application controls. Between those buttons are two tiny scroll buttons, which we found too small and flush to be very useful. Like all CLIEs, the NR70V has a jog dial on the side.
The design of this handheld is pretty clever. When closed, the brushed-aluminium case feels rugged, and the screen is well protected. You can open the casing up to use the keyboard, or you can rotate the screen 180 degrees, fold it back down to cover the keyboard, and use the NR70V like a traditional Palm device. Measuring 7.2cm by 13.7cm by 1.7cm and weighing 200g, this CLIE is bigger and heavier than almost every handheld we've reviewed recently. It slips easily into a jacket pocket, but would weigh down your shirt pocket.
A key feature of the NR70V is the inclusion of a built-in CMOS camera. Before you get too excited, this 100,000-pixel camera can only capture 320 by 240 pixel still images at its highest setting. The pictures we took around the office were acceptable so long as our subjects were well lit (there's no built-in flash). But this camera is better suited for quick shots to email to a friend than to print for posterity. You can even edit your images using the included CLIE Paint program.
The NR70V is the first Palm OS device to boast Motorola's new 66MHz DragonBall Super VZ processor. The faster processor allows for better video playback, but the 16MB of built-in RAM can't hold much in the way of video files. So count on buying a large Memory Stick to hold your videos, photos, and MP3s. Yes, that's right--the NR70V also has a built-in audio player.
Although the music player works as advertised, the SonicStage software that Sony provides for moving tunes to and from the CLIE is a disaster. Fortunately, Memory Stick Import/Export, another bundled application, makes the NR70V appear as a hard drive on your PC's desktop. Thanks to that application, it's simple to drag and drop MP3s onto the handheld.
Sony continues to bundle IntelliSync Lite for the PC with the CLIE line. Although this program has some distinct advantages -- field-level synchronisation, for instance -- it is more difficult to use than Chapura's PocketMirror, which comes with other Palm devices. The continued lack of Mac support is another thorn in Sony's side. Mac owners will still need to buy Mark/Space's Missing Sync software, which is sold separately.
The NR70V is the largest, heaviest, and most expensive Palm OS handheld, but its clever design, great screen, integrated keyboard and built-in digital camera make up for a lot of that bulkiness. Ultimately, however, this CLIE will appeal primarily to gadget lovers with deep pockets who are looking to own a unique and stylish handheld. To put it another way: We applaud Sony for the NR70V's innovative design and strong feature set (although we wish it had wireless capabilities), but we're not sure how practical this device is in a market where there's an increasing desire for smaller, lighter models.


Alzheimer's disease (AD) will affect one in nine people before they reach the age of 64. Yet many people lack an understanding of the disease, its impact and its treatment. Our client is developing drugs to treat AD. They wanted to inspire internal audiences to use more engaging and innovative solutions to communicate the science and the impact of AD on patients and their families. CMC was invited to create an inspirational experience for the 1100 delegates present at the international event.
You need to experience AD to truly understand its impact.
CMC developed a range of solutions that enabled delegates to experience AD. These included HoloLens mixed-reality technology – this allowed delegates to interact with a 3D hologram of the body and brain, which only they could see! Delegates could walk around the booth triggering interactive elements on the walls, floor and the surrounding environment using the spatial mapping features of the HoloLens.
There were virtual reality solutions too; one (using Samsung Gear VR) allowed delegates to navigate through the neural network, in which the effects of AD on the brain could be seen. Participants could also use an alternative virtual reality technology (Google Cardboard) to virtually walk in the shoes of an AD sufferer. This illuminated how confusing and frightening life can be for those with AD. A 3D mechanism of action (MoA) interactive application enabled others to navigate through the complex MoA of a Janus kinase inhibitor.
An iPad app was used to illustrate not only how common AD is but that it can also be hard to diagnose. This was done by having users explore a virtual wood, where patients' faces could be identified within the trees. The app exploited the cognitive bias that often leads physicians to see only the immediate symptoms rather than the complex condition that is AD.
The experience was impactful and the learning significant. The feedback from delegates was extremely positive throughout the event and the only challenge was to accommodate all the delegates who wanted to engage with the learning.

CHICAGO, April 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Innoblative Designs, Inc. (Innoblative), a private medical device company committed to developing next generation, advanced-energy surgical solutions, announced it received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for its SIRA™ RFA Electrosurgical Device, a novel radiofrequency ablation (RFA) applicator that supplies energy for use in electrosurgery, specifically for intraoperative coagulation and ablation of soft tissue.
"The design of the SIRA applicator makes it uniquely suited to ablate large surface areas," said Dr. Brendan Visser, Associate Professor of Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. "The large spherical applicator minimizes subjective repositioning of the device, leading to a more controllable and predictable ablation performance. A device like this hasn't existed before, and I'm excited to see this advancement in the operating room helping patients."
Radiofrequency ablation of soft tissue has been shown in multiple long-term clinical studies to reduce complications and reoperations.1 However, current conventional RF applicators are not optimized to treat large surface areas, which can lead to long procedure times and variable ablation depths. Innoblative's SIRA device is used in conjunction with a radiofrequency electrosurgical generator to coagulate and ablate large surface areas in open abdominal surgical procedures with minimal need for repositioning. The unique shape of the SIRA applicator circumferentially delivers RF energy, yielding reproducible ablation depths.
"The SIRA device breaks the usual convention of currently available RFA and microwave offerings," stated Dr. Andrei Stieber, General Surgeon at DeKalb Surgical Associates and Northside Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. "For surface lesions, SIRA offers an easy to use, intuitive and controllable solution for a common problem in abdominal surgery. I believe the SIRA device adds an important tool to the surgeon's armamentarium."
"Receiving FDA clearance is a significant milestone for Innoblative, and we look forward to commercializing the SIRA device in the US market," said Tyler R. Wanke, CEO and Co-founder of Innoblative. "With our initial indication in hand, we continue working towards obtaining additional indications where our novel technology can significantly impact patient care."


For critics of Obamacare, Jonathan Gruber is the gift that just keeps on giving. Tucked away in an appendix to the Vermont State Auditor's memo criticizing Gruber's likely overbilling for research assistant hours is this bombshell: Gruber submitted another overbilled invoice on December 30 to the State of Vermont for an additional $40,000 beyond the $80,000 he's already received.
Is Jonathan Gruber Heading For Jail?
If all the payments made by Gruber to his research assistant were totally dedicated to work on the Vermont contract, Gruber himself apparently pocketed at least $48,000 of the $80,000 the state of Vermont has already paid him for work he says was performed by his research assistants reports Vermont State Auditor Doug Hoffer.
OCare consultant Jonathan Gruber has been subpoenaed by Darrell Issa for documents related to his OCare work after refusing to share his compensation details. The order asks for a full account of Gruber's contracts w/ fed. & state health insurance exchanges.
Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber admitted he knew people were going to lose their existing health insurance plans when he was writing the health care reform law, and he told officials in the Obama admin. exactly that.
The latest head fakes on amnesty from the House Republican leadership show they share the same contempt for American workers and voters that Obama White House advisor Jonathan Gruber so memorably termed the stupidity of the American voter.
Jonathan Gruber's notion that the people are "stupid" is not fundamentally different from what Obama said when he derided ordinary Americans as petty people who want to cling to their guns and their religion. We need to see through such arrogant elitists if we want to cling to our freedom.
When voters say they want their country back they understand perfectly well that it is the Jonathan Grubers of the liberal self-appointed urban elite that have stolen it.
UPenn has yanked down its Youtube video of Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber. The video showed Gruber detailing why the 'stupidity of the American voter' would have killed the popularity of the bill and halted it in its tracks.


Figuring out what to do when you're on vacation is stressful. So many options. So many activities. If only there was some way — or someone — who could point you toward the best experiences. Someone wise, someone successful. Someone who yells his name at the beginning of literally every song made since 2015.
DJ Khaled is the hero the world needs. And along with his sidekick Booking.com, he's curating WE THE BEST experiences, all available to you at the touch of a button.
This week Khaled and Booking.com announced the US launch of Booking Experiences, a platform where you can book expertly-curated activities in different cities, from culinary tours to horseback rides to jet ski rentals around fancy tropical islands. And if you're going to Miami, those experiences will be curated by the globetrotting, up-blessing DJ Khaled.
Those experiences will include stuff like sunset yacht cruises, laser mazes, trips through Miami nightlife, and getting lost on a jetski with only Snapchat to help you.
Whether it was Snapchat or a miraculous after-dark sun that got Khaled safely to Rick Ross' house that night is debatable, but unless you have millions of followers helping to guide you back, we don't suggest doing Khaled's experiences exactly like he does them.
For example, you might not necessarily be able to book the five-bedroom ONE Sotheby's mansion on Miami's Hibiscus Island that Khaled used for the event. But you can ride the same jet ski that was parked out back. In a baggy white T-shirt, if you so desire.
The experiences are open to anyone who books an accomodation through Booking.com, and will also be available in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles this year, with Seattle, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Honolulu, Chicago, Boston, and Washington, DC coming later. No word if hip-hop moguls will be curating the experiences there too. Though a Sir Mix-a-Lot tour of Seattle does sound enticing.
Good vibes, good energy, and a jet ski? Can't imagine a better way to see Miami. Or any other city for that matter. So next time you're in South Florida, you too can see the city like DJ Khaled. Just make sure the jet ski is back before dark.


Sandwiched between Falmouth and the university of the same name, Penryn is the through town that all forgot.
An old town built around an 800-year-old Medieval core of streets and scheduled ancient monuments, Penryn is quieter than its big sister down the road, cheaper too, and not as well as endowed when it comes to enjoying a great shopping experience.
It also makes no secret of needing Falmouth more than Falmouth needs Penryn.
"We will always support Falmouth in what they do," Penryn Cornwall councillor Mary May said. "We are side by side and we make no secret of piggy backing on what they do. When Falmouth is thriving it's good for Penryn."
Penryn, who gave its name to the university campus on the hill above even though it is in Mabe, was not always so quiet.
Back in the 16th century it was a bustling port when Falmouth was but a few huts on a muddy river bank, to the point it had many more pubs and a reputation to boot. Ships bringing spices and exotic fruits and produce from the far flung corners of the British Empire docked there and continued to do well into the 19th century.
Shag Town - named after the birds! - was once nicknamed the 'Rotten Burrough' for its thriving nighttime economy of the more red light district variety. Those days are long gone and Falmouth's parallel growth has compounded Penryn's slow decline.
"The layout of the town has not changed since the 15th century," Cllr May explained, as we met in the lovely town hall on a rainy day for a tour of Penryn's high street.
"It still has this olde worlde feel and some of the oldest streets still standing in Europe. We have more scheduled ancient monuments here than anywhere else in Cornwall."
The town centre is still home to services like a hair dresser, post office, two pubs, a cafe, chemist's, baker's and a handful of Indian and Chinese takeaways as well as a Spar convenience store and a well patronised fish and chips shop.
However, on the face of it many of the premises which were once butchers and candle makers appear closed. Yet they are not for in fact they are no longer shops.
There is covenant on the town centre and so many listed buildings and restrictions that anyone turning a shop back into residential use must keep the shop frontage unchanged.
Hence the shops look empty when in fact it might be someone's front room and the curtains have been drawn or the blinds pulled down.
The town's medieval core also means there are parking difficulties and traffic is not easy. But for Cllr May, more than parking issues it is signage issues the town suffers from.
"We've got plenty of parking available in town," she said. "People don't know about ti and drive round and round or out. We could definitely do with better signage to tell people where the car parks are."
Penryn, home to about 8,000 residents and large employers such as pasty giant Rowe's, supermarkets and a busy Kernick industrial estate, with everything from robot makers to tech companies and a successful Rebel Brewery, has a bypass which was much needed to alleviate traffic clogging the town centre.
The bypass has done its job too well and visitors zoom down the road on their way to Falmouth oblivious that they could take a turn off Commercial Road then up the high street and discover what this old town has to offer.
"We're like Liskeard or Saltash," Cllr May said. "We are a through town. We have missed out because of the bypass which was needed but we're missing out also because we're not a destination town. At least we're doing something about it."
Penryn's rich history, listed buildings and striking medieval architecture - when in town do make a point of having a look at its town hall, museum and Temperance hall - are the assets the town is trying to capitalise on as it reinvents itself in the era of out of town retail parks, supermarkets and online shopping.
There are plans for more festivals, exhibitions and increased collaboration with Falmouth University to ensure the students also come into town to discover what it has to offer.
But Cllr May also had a word of caution about expectations with regards to students.
"When Dartington was incorporated into Falmouth University I thought things would pick up in term of art events but it didn't really happen. Perhaps we expect too much from students. They're here for a purpose. They have a good time, they study and they work. Is it selfish of us to expect them to also get involved in our town?
"Let's look at what our own grandchildren do when they go to university. We should be happy that they have chosen to come here and study. We have to go on and if they ask to get involved then of course they will be welcome. It's about town and gown and we have to be a friendly town for all these students so they do want to get involved or stay after their studies."
Many of them have done so or gone away and returned later in life and Penryn has grown in size by 10% as a result over the past few years.
Back in medieval times the town had a centre of learning and a 'university' before it was scrapped by Henry VIII. "Penryn has come full circle since then," explained John Kirby, a former deputy mayor, who has been involved in the community for many years.
"Falmouth University is helping attract new blood into the town once more.
'Rynners' object to their town being called Falmouth's sleepy suburb, but even if that were so, being quiet is also fast becoming an advantage and an interesting selling point.
Penryn is an attractive proposition for young families as it offers more affordable house prices than in Falmouth, is a safe place to raise children and is an easy commute to the towns at both end of the Fal estuary.
Olly Taylor, manager of the Earth and Water cafe and deli which is known for its superb vegan food, enjoys the peace and quiet Penryn affords. "Penryn is a beautiful place. Sandwiched between sea and woods it feels tucked away but it's nice. It is quiet but for me it's nice to come back to after a busy day of hustle and bustle in Falmouth.
"This summer was so busy in Falmouth it was great to get some respite when coming home to Penryn."
John added: "For years Falmouth had all the new buildings and developments and Penryn did not, but it's now playing too our advantage. We have more families come to live here who appreciate the old town feel and its wonderful buildings and history.
"There are so many young people about the town. It gives Penryn a great buzz. Old and new residents all contribute to the great community spirit we have here. That's what;s important here."
Jed Zulawski opened Sanzaru tattoo studio on Penryn high street in June and has three artists working in a decor that is not clinical nor grubby but heavily influenced by Indian culture and spirituality. The decor is more mantras and mandalas than skulls, bikers and death.
"Why Penryn? It's a university town so we saw the potential. We looked at a few possible locations in Falmouth and St Ives but it was either not suitable or far too expensive. St Ives is too seasonal for us so it would not work for us. Rents are also too high.
"Penryn hasn't had a tattoo artist for three years. It's been missing out. Business has been good for us so far and many of our clients have come back for other work. It's exactly what we want. Repeat business means we're doing something right."
All in the town are aware that residents shop in Asda, Sainsbury's, B&Q or Lidl down the road rather than go to each individual shops on the high street for a single loaf or bread or pack of sausages but they accept it like they accept that Penryn won't and can't compete with Falmouth.
With shops and restaurants doing increasingly well along Commercial Road and the attractiveness of the river it offers, Penryn may have to 'move its high street' if it wants to survive.
"Commercial Road is becoming our new high street," said Chaz Wenmoth, the town's deputy mayor. "It has a more diverse range of shops and cafes. The two Cornwall Hospice emporiums are doing very well.
"The Muddy Beach Cafe is very successful and continues to attract diners which is great. We want to make more of Commercial Road and improve the feel of it so it is more continental and has better links with the town centre too.
"We have to think outside the heritage box sometimes because we need to attract more businesses to the town too. With its location next to the river, there definitely is more potential to attract new businesses and shops to Commercial Road."

Taking Action Together
New active adult apartment complex officially opens in Campus Pointe
By Dale Yurong
FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Maravillosa is located a short walk away from the eating and entertainment options at Campus Pointe, across from Fresno State.
The complex is designed for residents 55 and over who still want to live an active lifestyle. They'll be able to make use of a gym and a swimming pool.
The units help fill a void.
"We need more housing in the city of Fresno," says Fresno City Councilmember Tyler Maxwell. "The growing demands require that we meet the housing needs of our community for all age groups."
Wednesday's ribbon cutting means the 142 units are now available to be leased.
Studios will start at about $1100 a month. One-bedroom units start at about $1500 while two-bedroom apartments will start at $2,000.
Tracy Kashian believes the closeness to campus will also be a draw for people ready to downsize.
"Take a class, photography, something really fun," she said. "Walk over, have dinner or meet friends for coffee."
Residents will be able to start moving into apartments in January. State and local leaders came out to see the finished product.
"I am a big supporter of inter-generational housing where seniors are able to live in communities where they can walk to amenities, restaurants, movie theaters," says California State Treasurer Fiona Ma.
Maravillosa translates into "marvelous" or "wonderful."
Many were happy to see a community garden will be available for residents to grow fruits and vegetables.
Some of the younger folks who toured the units said they wished they were 55 so they could move in.

Jordan Spieth, Tony Finau sound off on rules: "This is not what the integrity of the game is about"
Even by the idiosyncratic nature of the Rules of Golf, it's been a rough few weeks for the sport's guidelines. There have been two high-profile cases involving Rule 10.2b(4): Restriction on Caddie Standing Behind Player in which video evidence put the penalties enforced on Haotong Li at the Dubai Desert Classic and Denny McCarthy at the Phoenix Open into question, the latter so egregious that it led the PGA Tour to rescind the penalty on McCarthy. Then there was the matter of Rickie Fowler, who was assessed a penalty after his drop from the water rolled back into the drink.
Fowler ended up overcoming the debacle to win at TPC Scottsdale, and on Wednesday the USGA and R&A provided clarification on the caddie rule to avoid future issues. Nevertheless, two of the game's biggest stars sounded off on the unending controversy involving rules.
"I watched that transpire (the Fowler incident) and couldn't help but think, 'This is not what the integrity of the game is about,'" Tony Finau said Wednesday at Pebble Beach. "If the rules aren't going to protect the integrity of the game, then they're wrong.
"And that's, I'll always stand on that side just because I know, yeah, I've had things like that happen to me in junior golf, not at the professional level, but I've had things like that happen to me where you know you didn't cause or didn't, your intentions weren't bad in any way, but the ball moves and you have to call that on yourself. And I love that about the game. But if the rules don't protect the player and the integrity of the game then I don't think they're the right rules."
"I think there's too many rules in golf," Finau said. "And I mean that's easy to say for a player, but putting together a rule book is a tough thing in this game because there are so many different parts of the game. Some of the new rules I feel like don't really make a lot of sense. I feel like if it doesn't help the process of either speeding up play or help with the integrity of the game, then I don't think it makes sense to change."
Finau wasn't alone in his assessment. Jordan Spieth said, if he was rules czar, he would change the penalty that dinged Fowler.
"I was watching it on the couch," Spieth said. "I was, I'm like, wow, that's another penalty stroke, just knowing the rule. And that's frustrating because he drops it twice and then places it and he places it without, you can't like create a lie. You can't, so he's doing everything he should be doing, and then all of a sudden it rolls in the water. And if it happens off of a shot, then that's where the ball was supposed to go. Well, when it happens off of a drop, the idea is to get the ball in play in a location there, and I don't think anybody wants that to be a penalty. And it certainly shouldn't be after you're taking a drop or a penalty stroke"
To his credit, Spieth does think the governing bodies are trying to help, it's just that adjustments will need to be made.
"You want to simplify them to where it becomes —you're really looking at the recreational golfer and making it an enjoyable experience and a faster pace of play and I don't think this is like the be-all-end-all," Spieth said. "I think there will still be more adjustments to be made. But I think it was made with the intent to move that direction."


For more than a century, Alliance workers have braved harsh and dangerous territory, at great personal risk—even unto death—to take the good news of Jesus to a lost world. Because of the selfless dedication of these workers, entire people groups now know Jesus. Achieving God's purposes means taking faith-filled risks. This always involves change.
President John Stumbo explains that leaders must take care of themselves in order to lead their flock well.


1. Wake up early. Exercise. Go for a run or jog. Or, if you can take a walk on the beach.
Yes, waking up at the crack of dawn is the enemy, and it's hard to get moving an hour before your alarm is even set to go off, but guess what? Drag yourself out of bed and outside even if you don't want to. The light, sounds of the city, free sunshine and endorphins you release just by moving will make you happier and might even change your perspective on a few things.
2. Call someone instead of texting them.
In the text-crazed world we're living in, picking up the phone to make a call is about the last thing you want to do when you need to get in touch with someone – but bite the bullet and do it anyway.
Conversation with someone you love and don't get to see very often is food for the soul and your relationship. You'll pick up on things you wouldn't get in a five-word text message, and you'll figure out that maybe you both aren't as "fine" as you insist on being.
3. Volunteer for a work assignment you're not totally sure you can do.
Your boss needs someone to take the lead on a project, and no one else is stepping up to the plate. The only question you need to ask yourself is: how do you know you won't succeed at something like this if you're too scared to try?
Volunteer. It'll be hard work and extra stress added to your day, but it's worth it.
4. Take a class at the gym by yourself.
Love doing things in numbers? Here's your chance to be surrounded by people yet doing something that is personal and intimate. You'll pull support from the people who're challenging themselves just as hard as you are, but you'll find strength from within.
5. Ask for help when you need it.
Do it, I double dare you. Ask for help. Ask because you're not sure. Ask because you're terrified you'll get it wrong. Ask because you don't know what else to do. Ask because you don't know where to begin.
You'd be surprised how easy it is to ask.
6. Get lunch with a colleague you don't know.
There are plenty of people in your office you don't really know yet. Take the plunge and ask someone that you want to be friendly with – maybe you both wear Converse every Friday – or someone who's your complete opposite – to lunch. It might be awkward while you wait for your salads to come, but you'll make it.
7. Be honest with someone close to you.
Honesty is sometimes the hardest thing to deliver. But, it can avoid a life long of future problems. Especially, when there are doubts about a person you know that is closed to your loved ones.
8. Get comfortable with your own silence.
It's easy to let the noise and constant go-go-go just become the new norm, but do yourself a favor and tune out. The silence will put you back in touch with your inner- and outer-self. You'll be able to dissect the highs of your day, what you want to work on, and what's eating away at you.
9. Do something kind for someone you don't know.
Like buying the $1 chocolate bar from the kid who's selling them on the subway, or even donating a dollar to a complete stranger in need. They don't know your name, where you're from or where you're going, but your kindness matters to them – and they don't forget it. Pay it forward.
For something that matters. Even if it means sucking up your pride and saying "sorry" for something that caused. A simple apology can make a world of difference.
11. Make a to-do list for your future self.
Skip the day-to-day stuff, like buying a gallon of milk and picking up extra paper towels and aim bigger. Think about where you want to be in three or even five years from now – and what you need to do in order to get there. Think about the type of person you want to be, where you want to call home and what you hope you'll achieve professionally by then.
12. Do something different on your way to work.
Maybe you'll see something new that you've never stopped to notice before. Or you'll finally accept the fact that you hate biking or that you hate how far downtown your job is when you live uptown and so far from the subway. You'll have answers and time to organize your mind before you have to start your day off.
13. Make plans to meet your friends after work and catch up – even if you've been avoiding making plans for weeks.
You've been canceling plans for three weeks now because at the end of the day you just want to curl up into your perfect comfortable, perfectly safe Netflix ball and watch "Scandal" until your eyes bleed. Go see real people. They'll sustain you way longer than a five-second clip of Olivia and Fitz doing the dirty in the Oval will.
14. Write down the things you want to change about yourself.
You know that person you desperately want to be? The one you spend all day thinking about, hoping for, planning for and shopping for? Start being that person. Today. Right now. And if you want to get there, make a list – an honest list – of everything that you want to change about yourself – and that you can change – in order to get there.
15. Let go of the anger, regret, tension and resentment that's holding you back.

Life's too short to hold any regrets.


I'm probably not the most likely 'influencer' in the world. I started writing London-Unattached almost immediately after my mother died when I was already about twice the age of the popular you-tube and blogging stars. I had no ambition to join them – I just wanted to understand what they did!
My own background is in Marketing – I have an MBA, have worked at a senior level in Banking and Telecoms and have been a board level planning director in an advertising agency. Since I left Vodafone, I have worked as a consultant on various senior level marketing projects – I was the acting Marketing Director for the launch of Orange in Belgium and I've run international projects in telecoms and financial services. Oh, and I've also founded and sold my own successful dot-com business, a portfolio of dating sites. But, after 8 years of looking after my mother, during which time the dot-com boom had been and gone and social media had emerged as a major factor for anyone in consumer marketing, I was a little rusty.
So, with a liking for getting my hands dirty, it seemed obvious to start a blog and see how everything fitted together. I never expected to carry on doing it for years. I never expected to get addicted.
I've been writing my blog now for 6 years. I was thrown in the deep end a bit when I first started because I won a place at a large food blogging conference. I listened to some of the world's biggest and best-known food bloggers speaking about what worked for them, how they'd turned their blogs into their careers and how we could all do the same.
Somewhere along the way the term 'influencer' began to be thrown about a bit. I'd learnt early on that you should promote your blog via social media. But, with the growth of Instagram, the Influencer was born.
Some of my blogging friends called it 'microblogging'. Some just got hooked on posting pretty pictures and gave up their written blog altogether. I watched with awe as some acquired tens of thousands of followers in a matter of days or week.
Social media platforms came and went. We, the influencers, were disturbed when the owners of the platforms started to tweak the way OUR content was shown to OUR followers. Instead of paying us to promote products and services, it became clear that some of the platforms wanted the brands to pay them. Perhaps with the endorsement of one of us…but nevertheless all those thousands of followers we'd acquired started to look less significant.
The first to go down that route was Facebook. Then Facebook acquired Instagram. Now, the Instagram algorithm is almost as unpredictable as the Facebook one. Which platform will be next?
My point though is that the commercialisation of social media is inevitable. The owners of the platforms aim to make money for themselves, they are not in the business of providing a revenue stream for influencers. And, in any case, I'm not sure any of us should be quite so dependent on any one social media platform.
The concept of a blog – an online diary – is that it provides a platform for us to write. For many of us that is writing about something we are passionate about, something where we have a special expertise or something where we want to share our views and vision. Social media for a blogger like me is a means to an end, not the end in itself.
Instagram, like Twitter is an ephemeral platform made even more so by stories. Post an image and some content on Instagram and it is gone within a few days. While we may have new followers who trawl through our photo galleries, in marketing speak Instagram and Twitter are predominantly about building immediate brand awareness.
My aim as a blogger is to strengthen my main communications platform – the blog itself. Social media provides a means to do that and while I appreciate that some PRs and brand managers are looking for promotion on social media alone, I aim for an integrated approach that I hope will deliver strong results over time. I want my blog posts to be well ranked by Google and the other search engines. I want social media activity to support my blog both by raising awareness of what I am writing about and by driving direct traffic to it. And, I want to be able to prove to brands and PRs that I am doing that consistently and effectively.
That's why I love what we are building with blogl. For the first time, when I've finished writing up and promoting a trip I've been on, I can press a button and produce a slick report that shows much of what I've done. The likes and comments are there for my Instagrams, the likes and retweets are there for my tweets. And, every blog post I write is listed with a clickable link.
If I carry on writing for a month or two and promoting the restaurant, hotel or region then I can track and report everything I do automatically. It's fuss-free and easy. And, for the first time, I can start to provide an insight into the integrated reach for each campaign I work on.
I know I provide a good service. And, now I can prove it. Why don't you try it yourself and visit blogl.com? Whether you are a blogger yourself or a marketing professional, you should find it helpful.
What an interesting post. I've often thought of starting a blog but so far life has got in the way – one day I'll make it.
Blogl sounds intriguing. I will definitely check it out. I like your balanced, practical approach to blogging and your social media platforms. Good wisdom. ?
Fiona, I love this blog post. I feel very much the same. I've been exploring Instagram and other venues, I think mainly to get more visitors to my blog, but haven't found the satisfaction I get from just blogging. Thanks.
Blogl sounds interesting is there a fee?

Brother Hiob of Luzerne, on missionary work in the Himalayan wilderness on the eve of the eighteenth century, discovers a village guarding a miraculous tree whose branches sprout books instead of fruit. These strange books chronicle the history of the kingdom of Prester John, and Hiob becomes obsessed with the tales they tell. The Habitation of the Blessed recounts the fragmented narratives found within these living volumes, revealing the life of a priest named John, and his rise to power in this country of impossible richness. John's tale weaves together with the confessions of his wife Hagia, a blemmye—a headless creature who carried her face on her chest—as well as the tender, jeweled nursery stories of Imtithal, nanny to the royal family. Hugo and World Fantasy award nominee Catherynne M. Valente reimagines the legends of Prester John in this stunning tour de force.

St. Patrick's Day parade coming to Jamesport
by Tim Gannon |
A St. Patrick's Day parade appears destined for Jamesport, a first for Riverhead Town. (Katharine Schroeder file photo)
In the month of March, there are St. Patrick's Day parades in Southampton Town, East Hampton Town and Southold Town.
But not Riverhead Town — until now.
A new group called the East End Emerald Society is planning a St. Patrick's Day parade in Jamesport March 22 and interest in joining the parade is growing fast, according to Sean O'Neill, one of the parade organizers.
The parade was initially intended to be strictly a Jamesport parade, but the group has since received inquiries from groups as far away as Greenport and Commack that are interested in marching, Mr. O'Neill said.
"Everyone is welcome," he said.
"I've always wanted to have a St. Patricks Day parade in my hometown," Mr. O'Neill said. "Growing up, I always had to work every March."
This year, Mr. O'Neill, along with friends John Cuddy, Walter Magee and Brandon Hewes, have put the wheels in motion.
He said they met with Riverhead Police Chief David Hegermiller and town deputy supervisor Jill Lewis on Tuesday.
"They pretty much gave us the nod if we can provide the insurance certificate, and we got a quote for the insurance price today, and the four members of our committee agreed to it," Mr. O'Neill said.
The parade would have the same route as the annual Jamesport Fire Department parade, running from Washington Avenue to South Jamesport Avenue on Route 25 in Jamesport.
"This will be the first St. Patrick's Day parade ever in Riverhead Town," Mr. O'Neill said.
While Riverhead is known for Polish Town, the U.S. Census says there are actually more people of Irish descent in Riverhead Town than of Polish descent.
The March 22 parade will be on the same day as the St. Patrick's Day parade in Hampton Bays, but that parade starts at 11 a.m. and the Jamesport parade is slated to start at 1 p.m.
And bad weather won't stop it.
"Rain or shine, we're marching," Mr. O'Neill said. "There's no rain date."

The True Mindset of a High School Senior As College Decisions Begin
Teacher-Coaches Cherish Added Responsibility
While some teachers leave their classrooms at 2:20, many also stay behind. These teachers that stay after dismissal say they find having after school roles rewarding.
Head varsity boys basketball coach and P.E. teacher Marcos Molina has taught and coached at Palmetto since last fall. He came from Hialeah Gardens High School and before that, he coached college-level basketball at Barry University. He decided to coach high school basketball, eventually at Palmetto, because he valued the bond he created with high schoolers.
"I like the relationship with the high school players; it was more of a business in college, and [I] did not really want to get into the basketball business," Molina said. "I just like coaching basketball."
Many coaches at Palmetto cherish their career, not viewing their job as a job but as a passion. Football coach and Math teacher, Eduardo Fernandez began teaching math and coaching football at Palmetto in 2014.
"I chose Palmetto because it's my alma mater and I love this school," Fernandez said.
Sports consumes most of the coaches' lives today as it did during their younger years. Coach Molina played basketball for Emporia State University's National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II basketball program. On the other hand, Fernandez realized playing pro or college was not a realistic option for him, leaving Fernandez looking for other options that would allow him to include football in his career.
"I figured the next best thing was to coach. I saw a lot of my friends coaching through teaching, like Coach Manasco, so I asked them about how I could get into coaching. They told me I had to start teaching," Fernandez said.
Teaching and coaching at the same school adds a different aspect to the job. Interacting with students in the classroom and seeing them on the field or court as athletes later in the day provides a deeper connection between the coach and the student athlete.
"The kids see you differently. They see you more as a different influence; they get to see you outside of the classroom element," Fernandez said. "Anytime a student sees a teacher outside of the classroom, it's totally different than seeing you inside of the classroom, so you get a different bond with the students,"
Coaching for 18 years, including college students and high schoolers, Molina cherishes his job right now as a high school basketball coach for both his teaching and coaching experiences.
"My favorite part about coaching here at Palmetto is definitely the kids I have the opportunity to work with everyday and also my coaches I have the opportunity to work with everyday," Molina said.
Developing these relationships becomes a rewarding experience, keeping the coaches coming back every year, even though this takes a substantial amount of time away from their families and free time. But, teachers who coach evidently relish what they do for the personal satisfaction of seeing their students grow and succeed not only in the classroom but on the field as well.
"You get to see kids grow from the time they are 14 years old to the time they are 18 and see the growth in them as little babies, essentially 14 year old babies, and when they are 18, you know they are still young adults, but you can mold them and give them a better path as far as to where they can go in life," Fernandez said.

Stargate Universe - Science fiction TV series as soaps
I've started watching Stargate Universe (SGU), which promises to be somewhere between Stargate and Battlestar Galactica. I'm only halfway through Season 1, but can't help making a few observations about SF series for TV. First, they usually take at least a season to get their act together. I have no idea why this is. Some don't survive past the first season. Sometimes this is a good thing - if you ever watched Crusader, the wooden and entirely predictable spin-off from Babylon Five, you'll know what I mean. But others, like Firefly, saddened me when they closed, as although the basic premise was a bit ropey (Space opera meets the Wild West), it was a lot of fun and the characters were interesting, dammit! Even classics like Start Trek Next Generation got off to a wobbly start, and I tend to think of Babylon Five as starting with Bruce Boxleitner, though of course it didn't. Start Trek Deep Space Nine had a brilliant start, then limped along for the next two seasons before the Dominion arrived and it really got going, and by the last three seasons was simply unmissable. Battlestar Galactica got off to a ferocious start, but then - partly courtesy of the writer's strike in the US - seemed to lose it completely in the last two seasons. Farscape was also a wobbler to begin with but picked up pretty fast, only to lose out at the end as its storyline drifted and the plots became too self-indulgent. Still I miss it though.
So back to SGU. What I notice is that there is too much heavy-handed effort to get the viewer to empathise with the characters. They keep breaking down and crying, sacrificing themselves, telling complete strangers their deepest fears and feelings. It all feels staged, so I end up rooting for the nastier characters!
The point is, people who watch SF series are interested in the SF - technology, aliens and alien worlds, alternative timelines, space-ships, cool effects, etc., not only the characters. Just putting people in a SF ship does not make it SF - there needs to be more, much more, to inspire our imaginations. That's what we're looking out for. Really good SF, like DS9, had great SF and great characters, and that's what made it a huge success (Voyager, too, for that matter). The tech was good, and there were characters we cared for. In that sense it did become SF soap, and you could forgive the odd dodgy or cheesy episode because the next one would be back on track, and everyone has bad days anyway. If the characters seem like friends, you forgive them. But if you've just met someone, and they start pouring their heart out to you, do you think: great, a real friend! Really?
Incidentally, for me, where Battlestar Galactica (the recent one) tripped up - aside from its slight steampunk feel and irritating camera-play - is that the characters kept mutating, good becoming bad and vice versa, sometimes more than once - as a viewer I ended up not caring for them at all.
So, Hollywood dreams of making SF series which will run for 7-9 seasons, and pay dividends for the next decades in re-runs, syndication, and DVDs. So - don't be in a rush to make us like these people, and spend some more time on the SF. At least some of the characters in SGU are nicely flawed, and the episode I just watched had - despite several crying sessions again! - a distorted timeline and a punchy ending that made me immediately check the next episode.
There is hope...

Harry Bingham's Guide to Getting Published


In March 2007, Roma and I visited the Murcia region of Spain with a view to purchasing a property for investment purposes. While I was very skeptical about some of the salesman's hard sell approach to getting us to part with our money, in the end we signed on the dotted line and bought a Polaris World 2-bedroom apartment in a golf resort called Terrazas de la Torre. It was now time to sit back and simply watch our investment increase in value - right? How wrong could we be!
Our piece of Spain - click to enlarge.
Polaris World must be to worst company of all time to deal with - no communication was responded to, and no information was provided as to the progress of the building of our apartment over four years. We had to rely on rumour and speculation from bloggers and discussion boards for what little information we could get. Suddenly, almost four years to the day we signed, we get a letter notifying us that we were to close the sale in six weeks! Feckin' hell!
We finally got to see our property on St Patrick's Day - we now own a little piece of Spain (marked in red on photo). While we were not allowed access to or own apartment, we did get to view it from the outside. We were also shown another apartment by the excellent Rob from Fairways Condado (who did our snag list - I strongly recommend Rob and his services), which was the same design as ours. While small, it looked great and it nice to be able to set foot inside an apartment in Terrazas - even if it wasn't our own.
Terrazas de la Torre is far from finished - on the Thursday (17th March) we were there, there was very little building activity taking place. Our snag list was very short with just some minor issues, and the building you see above looks good. The gardening surrounding the building is (predictably) very new - the grass has just been laid and all plants are very small. In time this should look good. The swimming pool at the front of the apartment block looks good - apart from the green water (which can easily be fixed). However, as you will see in the video below - there is still a lot of construction work to be done. There are a lot of "skeleton" buildings around, and right beside our apartment block there are some foundations dug for new blocks. Very dusty and dirty looking. The golf course looks good, and is open as we saw people playing on it. Copolla's Bar is good, but not much else in the "town centre". In short, while some of the resort looks great - it is very much still a building site.

Luann de Lesseps shares her ultimate guide to flirting
luann de lesseps
Luann de Lesseps, aka 'Countess Lu,' is releasing a rap single
Luann de Lesseps says Ramona Singer's behavior on 'RHUGT' is 'sad'
Melissa Gorga: 'There's no excuses' for Ramona's behavior on 'RHUGT'
'Ultimate Girls Trip' kicks off with a bang, Ramona goes maskless, and WTF is going on between A-Rod and Kelly Bensimon?
As "The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip" comes to a close, Luann de Lesseps is sharing her ultimate guide to flirting exclusively with Page Six.
As viewers of the Peacock spin-off witnessed, the "Real Housewives of New York City" star, 56, descended upon the beaches of Turks and Caicos with a penchant for chatting up Triton Villa's very handsome (and very married) concierge Michael Burchill.
"He was charming. And he speaks French, so we got to speak French together which was awesome," said the "F-Bombs on the G" singer, who is happily single nearly a year after breaking up with boyfriend Garth Wakeford in late 2020.
"He had a really great personality and I just got on with him. You know how you just get on with people? I just got on with Michael. He gravitated towards me."
At one point during the made-for-TV vacation, de Lesseps — who is sober and recently launched an alcohol-free Fosé Rosé brand — seductively took a shot of water from Burchill's mouth as he lay on the floor.
"He could've picked from any of those women to do the shot with but he picked me," she said. "So, I was flattered."
The cabaret performer told us that she and Burchill still keep in touch, while also noting that his wife has a "good sense of humor" about their on-screen banter and eyebrow-raising interactions.
"We've been texting. He was so excited about the show," she said. "He's like, 'I am not used to this type of attention.' He's gotten a lot of attention … We were just having good fun."
Below, de Lesseps reveals her top tips for making men like Michael — or anyone, for that matter — fall in love with you.
1. Compliments are key
"I think charm goes a long way. I think people forget to give each other compliments … To be a good flirt is to really be responsive to people. And don't forget to give a good compliment because people love compliments."
2. Eye contact is crucial
"Make really good eye contact. And let people know that you like them and that they're getting that kind of attention. I think that's the most important part of flirting — being warm, being sincere and making good eye contact."
3. Try not to touch
"[Flirt] without touching people, of course, because in this day and age, you have to be careful about that kind of stuff."
4. Give it your best shot
"Doing shots out of people's mouths [works when there is consent]. That was water, by the way! I didn't have my Fosé with me."
"The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip" — which also stars Ramona Singer, Kyle Richards, Kenya Moore, Cynthia Bailey, Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga — is available to stream on Peacock.

Mercedes-Benz EQC redefines the electric car
By .
Mercedes-Benz is about to re-write the rules for electric cars.
Its all-new EQC is the start of a giant push into battery-powered motoring by the company that put the world on wheels from the late 1800s, and there are big plans for Australian sales in the back half of 2019.
The EQC is coming first as an all-wheel drive station wagon but there will be many more models built on the battery-powered platform – which looks like an oversized high-tech skateboard – from something in the A-Class size through to an S-Class style limousine.
"We're going to charge up the market for electric cars in Australia," the spokesman for Mercedes-Benz Australia, David McCarthy, tells Australian Business Traveller.
"The EQC is a vehicle designed, engineered and built without compromise to perform without compromise. For us, it's the new electric platform and it's scalable.
"It's coming to Australia in the second half of next year. We don't know yet on the pricing, but we expect it will be under $150,000."
The car was unveiled in Europe after more than five years of development by a giant team of Daimler scientists and engineers in Germany.
It's been more than two years since the basic EQ platform – the Mercedes designation for electric vehicles, just as BMW has chosen i for its battery cars – was previewed in Europe with a promise of full-scale production by 2020.
Now the EQC delivers on that promise with the C pointing to a body size that is similar to the C-Class family.
In this case, though, Mercedes has deliberately chosen a station wagon body despite a worldwide trend away from wagons in favour of SUVs.
"The body design is, for the first car, to have the greatest reach. And remember this vehicle is going to be sold all over the world," says McCarthy.
"Europe has a very big appetite for electric cars, as does China. And that's only going to grow, as it will in Australia."
The headline numbers for the EQC are a range of more than 450 kilometres, a 0-100km/h sprint in 5.1 seconds, 300 kiloWatts of power with twin electric motors and all-wheel drive, and a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 80 kiloWatt hours.
But it's not the numbers that are important, because the EQC signals a mainstream move into electric cars that should be sounding warning bells at Tesla in the USA. BMW is soon to reveal its next generation of i models and Audi has just begun production of its first E-Tron electric car.
"We think it's a game changer, because it will have the range, the performance, the dynamics, the quality and the luxury that people expect of our brand. And it's electric," says McCarthy.
He refuses to be drawn into a comparison with Elon Musk's electric Tesla project, concentrating on the strengths at Benz.
"This is a brand-new platform, totally for electric, the result of many years work and observation. It's a Mercedes electric car," he says.
"We have volume ambitions for our electric platform that will surprise and delight our customers. Competition is in our genes, and it has been since 1886."

"The empty returns are a major problem. I believe the biggest problem at the ports right now is those empties," Ed DeNike, president of SSA Containers, tells JOC.com. Photo credit: Shutterstock.com.
Jeremy Nixon, CEO of Ocean Network Express (ONE), told the 2019 TPM Conference in Long Beach the container carrier is "seeing more than 50 percent off the boxes empty [in the westbound trans-Pacific], and that isn't good for the supply chain or the round trip economics of the trade. That is an added cost to the carriers that will have to come back to the import side of the market.
"I'm getting quite concerned in North America about the export situation," he said. "We do want to see more exports coming out of the US."

IT'S back to school for thousands of primary and second level pupils in Clare tomorrow after the Christmas holidays. This will mean a considerable increase in the level of traffic and pedestrians on the roads in the morning and evening. With bad weather conditions expected to continue, resulting in flooding and surface water on roads, both motorists and pedestrians should be especially vigilant. Motorists should follow the simple guide of slow down and expect the unexpected, while pedestrians should be alert in crossing roads, especially at busy junctions. Also, they should observe lights at junctions and other crossings.


About this project & the team behind it.
the idea behind this site is an attempt to help the average internet user in their eminent struggle when the time comes to download online videos or convert video to mp3. with a vast line-up of software, plugins and online services out there, what exact method do you choose to be yours? in my experience, this is usually a combination of 2-3 methods that gets whole job done, and i mean download video and audio from all kinds of sources, streams and live broadcasts. and so we're going to review as many of these methods as we can, rate them and try them in major browsers on major resources (usually – youtube). all so that you could choose which methods are yours.
we hope you enjoy reading our tutorials and reviews.
contact us any time!! we accept special requests to speed up review of certain resources.
join our team of talented writers and reviewers!!
I want to download other peoples videos and edit them….ofcourse with their consent. I have an old android, 4.4.something. What free software can I use for that?.
I'LL wait for a bit.
Oh yeah…don't be hesitant in letting me know bluntly.
Sigh. Missing my old blackberry. All I had to do was hold the mp3 file link down and select Save As.

Analysis of Friction Stir Welding Using Tools with Different Pin Profiles
Hamza, Esam (2018) Analysis of Friction Stir Welding Using Tools with Different Pin Profiles. Doctoral thesis, University of Huddersfield.
Welding is an important process in manufacturing and fabrication where improving the weld quality and reducing the cost are the main targets. In view of that, extensive research is still being carried out to improve efficiency of the existing welding processes and developing alternative welding techniques. One such technique is friction stir welding which has the capability to produce high strength joints particularly for the materials that cannot be welded by the conventional welding processes. Controlling the FSW process parameters to improve the quality of welded joint is still a subject of active research. Controlling the welding thermal cycle through the geometrical and operational parameters may lead to produce sound weldments where defects can be avoided. Various studies have been carried out considering the various tool pin profiles to improve the mechanical strength of welded joint, but the influences of the pin profiles on the thermal characterisations have been rarely reported. Besides, the experimental work has often showed that it is cost and time consuming particularly when the effect of geometrical variables is investigated.
The present work focuses on the employment of modeling approaches to simulate the thermal field within the weldments which allow quantification of the thermal behaviour corresponding to the different proposed tool pins. A three – dimensional transient model has been developed to simulate the physical model of friction stir welding. It has then been employed to carry out the investigations under various geometrical and operational parameters. An analytical approach has been integrally used to develop novel mathematical equations that calculate the heat generation for all cases of welding tools to be studied. Then, to accomplish the CFD simulations of the cases under consideration, the heat generated amount has been applied to the pin and shoulder surfaces as a heat flux which represents the process heat input.
Both qualitative and quantitative analysis has been carried out for the temperature distribution within specimens welded by FSW using tools with different polygonal pins. In order to cover a wide range of geometrical and operational conditions, the numerical simulations have been conducted for various shoulder diameters, pin diameters, pin heights, material thicknesses, rotational speeds and axial loads. The attained results have given a clear picture of the transient and the spatial temperature behaviour as well as the effect of presence of the polygonal pin on the thermal field.
In the same way, a detailed CFD based investigation has been carried out on the thermal field for those FSW processes using tools with eccentric polygonal pins and tapered eccentric polygonal pins covering the same range of the geometrical and operational parameters. Furthermore, the current study made use of the peak temperature values for various cases under investigation in order to develop a semi-empirical correlation, which predict the maximum temperature in the weldments for various welding conditions. The developed prediction models of the peak temperature have shown a good accuracy particularly no single study has considered a wide range of investigations on the FSW thermal field which would be beneficial in selection of the welding parameters. Lastly, the advanced CFD modeling technique and the novel mathematical equations of heat generation being incorporated in this study have made it possible to spatially and transiently mapping of the thermal field even on the small scale of variations which led to a better understanding of the physical behaviour.
