More Bristol Airport passengers speak of 'nightmare' after Absolutely Secure Airport Parking leaves them stranded
One mother who was travelling with her seven-month-old baby described Absolutely Secure Airport Parking's service as 'dreadful' after being forced to wait for hours to get her car back
More passengers have recalled the "nightmare" situation they were in after Absolutely Secure Airport Parking left them stranded at Bristol Airport.
Scores of passengers returning from holidays had to wait hours to get their cars back from the parking company which offers a "meet and greet" parking service.
According to those affected, the company, which is not connected to Bristol Airport, refused to reunite owners with their cars after leaving them in random country roads, lay-bys and even a pub car park.
Pictures taken by disgruntled holidaymakers, some of whom were without their cars for more than 24 hours, show police at the airport as well as queues outside the Absolutely Secure Airport Parking office in Hyatts Wood Road
Sarah Witney who had to wait for hours to get her car back after returning from a holiday to Alicante with her husband Kenny, his 12-year-old son and the couple's seven-month-old baby.
Why Bristol Airport cannot help passengers stranded in meet and greet car company chaos
It was the family's first time flying as a family of four but it transpired the flight and the airport were the least of the Witney's worries.
After landing at 1.30pm on Sunday, April 8 - the family got their car back at around 5pm, but only after Mr Witney walked into their offices and found the keys himself.
He explained the police were at the site of the office which was a portakabin, which Kenny described as "chaotic".
After another hour-and-a-half wait, Kenny finally found his Toyota Rav-4, parked in what claims was in fact a "filthy barn".
Sarah who is 41 and lives near Langport in Devon said: "It was really dreadful, a complete nightmare.
"We had a great holiday and then we had to come back to this.

"Luckily I had enough food for my 7-month-old son, but it could have easily been much worse.
"After a while I went to wait in the terminal with my son because it wasn't very warm."
Sarah booked the parking through Park and Go.
It is understood that customers book on various websites and then the parking is sub-contracted by Absolutely Secure Airport Parking Bristol Ltd.

When Sarah and her husband called the phone number to arrange for the car to be brought back, they were told it would be there shortly.
But it soon became clear this was not going to happen.
Sarah added: "At no point were we told there was a problem, if they had have been honest and said that they were having issues, we would have been annoyed but could have made alternative arrangements.
"I could have got someone to collect me and the kids, but they just said the car was on the way.

"We only got our car back because Kenny went to the office and luckily found the keys which were labelled.
"Then it took him another hour and a half to find the car and luckily it wasn't blocked in.
"One man apparently found his car but they didn't know where the keys were and his car was blocking in six others.

"It was a nightmare, it really was insane, there seemed to be no organisation whatsoever, it seemed really dodgy."
Kim Harris who had been for a break in Dublin spent more than 24 hours trying to get her car back.
She explained that when she landed in Bristol on Friday, April 6 and made her way to to the collection point, she saw police speaking to a large group of passengers.
She had booked through Compare Parking Deals and explained the parking service was carried out by Absolutely Secure Airport Parking Ltd.
The 34-year-old from Swansea tried calling eight times after she landed but there was no answer.
Police then started handing out keys to people at the airport but many didn't know where their cars were.
Kim's keys weren't there and she was told by the police that the company had 24 hours to sort the situation.
She tried speaking to the company and went to their office on Hyatts Wood Road.
But Kim was still without her keys and her £16,000 BMW, so went back to the airport before arranging for family to pick her up and drive her back to Swansea.
She claims she was told by Catherine at Absolutely Secure Airport Parking that some cars are kept at a site in Wick, South Gloucestershire - a 40-minute journey, almost 20 miles away from the airport at Lulsgate Bottom.
After some confusion and more than 24 hours - Kim finally got her car back on Saturday afternoon.
She said: "It really was horrendous - it could have been worse if I had had my kids with me.
"But the whole thing was just a nightmare and I will never, ever park my car with one of these companies again.
Kim's car was parked on a country lane along with dozens of other cars
"When they eventually found my car, it was filthy.
"I don't know how they can call themselves Absolutely Secure when they leave peoples cars in barns, fields and lay-bys, with no fences, no security, no nothing.
"And when we went to the office, none of the keys were secure or locked away as it states on their website.
"It definitely spoilt my holiday, and today I have come back to work and everyone is asking about my car, rather than whether I had a nice time in Dublin."
Avon and Somerset police has confirmed it is investigating the incident, which was first reported on Friday, April 6.
Absolutely Secure Parking Bristol Ltd has declined to comment when approached by the Bristol Post.

Just Fiddling Around
"Stop fiddling with that or you'll break it!"
"I fiddled around with it enough that I finally got it to work"
-Kate MacLeod, quoting her father
"Stop fiddling around!" I spent most of my school years in a fog of missed deadlines. I never knew about schedule changes, when my homework was due, or sometimes even what class I was in… I still vividly remember looking up from reading a book and discovering that the kids sitting around me weren't the ones I had been sitting next to when class started. I must have totally missed a class change! It wasn't that I didn't pay attention, it was just that my attention was always drawn to the wrong thing, like a really good book, where I was going hiking after school, or how to construct a robot of myself so life like no one could ever tell if it was me or my robot sitting in that school desk.
I was one of those kids whose pockets, if turned out, could have probably filled a small rucksack. I was terrified of being caught with nothing to do (which was pretty much my view of "appropriate" school behavior) and so had enough materials with me, on the sly, to keep my attention occupied precisely where it shouldn't have been. I still remember the day I realized that all the desks and tables height was adjusted with Alan screws. Most kids my age didn't even know what an Alan screw was back then, but my dad was quite the tinkerer and I knew just where I could find the tool I wanted. I spent plenty of time working on a look of decided innocence and mild disinterest when puzzled teachers had to reseat classmates whose desks were now to small or too tall, or call the custodian when a table collapsed because the screw on one leg had suddenly given way. I didn't view myself as a troublemaker, just a very curious student of the world around me. I couldn't understand why my teachers valued repetition and sitting still more than imagination and movement.
My interest in music started at the age of four when I saw a performance of a violin concerto on the television at home. My parents traded and bartered to afford the cost of classical training with a family friend who played in the Utah Symphony. There is a VERY specific way to play the violin that has been carefully honed, honored, and cherished over the past 500 years. My instructor initiated me into the world of etudes, exercises, and note reading (with somewhat sporadic success) and I made reasonable if not stellar progress. I was expected to practice a lot. (Often two hours a day or more). As I advanced into more difficult music my teacher prescribed an abacus which I was to use to carefully count the number of times I played a difficult passage
correctly (often 50 or 100 times were ordered). I found the structure stifling and the repetition mind numbing. My sight reading skills negligible, my attention span crumbling, I often turned to the instrument and simply fiddled around, following my dancing thoughts up and down the fingerboard, growling with anger, or laughing with delight. Luckily I was blessed to have one of those rare teachers who could honor imagination and passion as well as rote learning. She always told me that to play music you had to be like a tiger, you had to take a risk and leap at the prey or you stood no chance at getting what you wanted.
I switched to Viola when I was 11. This more introspective instrument was a better fit. As the "poet-philosopher" of the string family its deeper tone and more dreamy nature spoke to me. Still, I found myself wasting my practice time "fiddling around," making up tunes, trying out tones. I carried my passion for Viola into college, pursuing a double major of Music Composition and Viola Performance, but, as usual, I got involved in too many things and my graduation languished on the periphery of unfinished projects and an overbooked schedule. My composition teacher eventually forced me to make a choice. He advised me to drop one side of my double major and progress on toward graduation. Agonizing on which side of myself to favor, performance or composition, I finally went with the latter, feeling it offered more room for my "fiddling around."
From the start it should have been clear I was more of a fiddler than a violinist. Naturally curious, I spent hours exploring the sounds the instrument could make. The fiddle is a remarkable canvas for the imagination. An embodiment of paradox, it can both break and heal the soul. Perhaps that's why so many folks have been frightened or dismissive of the fiddle, it represents something other than business as usual. It refuses to sit silent, or still. A tool of dreamers and prophets it can both create and destroy. It can set the feet of the righteous dancing down the path to hell, stich up a broken heart, or leave one grasping on the edge of epiphany. It caters to those whose attention wanders the roads less traveled and whose feet march to the rhythm of a music only they can hear. As a musical explorer, the fiddle keeps me on the sharp edge of discovery; exploring new sounds and techniques, diving into the deep waters of tradition, or gathering the strands of a new song out of the immense shimmering firmament of notes. The fiddle can stand the strain due not to its rigidity, but because of its flexibility. For a long time fiddling was a secret side affair for me, something I did when I should have been doing something else. Now I realize that everything else was just getting in the way of fiddling.

By Mary
When I was a kid my favorite place to go was to my grandma's house in Castle Dale, UT. Grandma would pack a picnic in an antique basket her family used when she was a girl and we would head out for the San Rafael Swell where she would fascinate us with tales about riding her Indian pony around the desert when she was young. A lady from Hawaii once told Grandma she couldn't stand the thought of "living in such a barren place." Grandma retorted that it was much better than Hawaii because she didn't "have any of those darn trees blocking the scenery."
The San Rafael brought out the quirky pioneer spirit of my family.  We felt particularly free to be ourselves surrounded by sandstone cliffs, cactus, and sagebrush. One trip my dad did the unthinkable, he forgot his hat.  My very bald father is of Scandinavian descent and once upon a time (before I was born) he had a full head of red hair. He still had the fair complexion associated with his lost hair, and never went anywhere without a hat.  Grandma had a solution. She told my dad with a glint in her eye, "I have an extra bonnet." Grandma had quite a reputation in Emery County for making pioneer bonnets. I was very proud to know that Grandma was a girl people still wore them.
I loved all things pioneer. Laura from "Little House on the Prairie" was my hero. And Grandma, well, she was practically Laura. She had traveled in a covered wagon, worn pioneer bonnets, read by kerosene lantern and done everything else a proper pioneer girl would do. Her bonnets were awesome. The idea of my dad wearing one was not. Dad smiled mischieviously and placed the pink bonnet with a ruffle on his head and tied a bow under his chin. None of us kids wanted to admit we knew him. We tried to maintain a good distance from him. It was probably the most peaceful day Dad ever spent with us in the desert. (In hindsight I am kind of surprised that from then on he didn't start wearing one perpetually). Later that evening Grandma surprised us all by spreading her sleeping bag out on the picnic table instead of in the tent. I thought it was hilarious imagining her spread out there all night like some kind of feast! She let me know that if she slept on the ground there would be no getting her up, and since it wasn't in her plan to remain forever on the ground in the desert the picnic table would do nicely.
When I began dating Peter he was a frequent guest on these family outings. One winter trip my family was given two cases of bananas on the way out of town. It was cold that night and all the bananas froze. Unable to contemplate the waste of such a resource my mom forced each of us to eat all of the bananas before we were allowed to eat any other food on the trip. Peter, who was accustomed to eating no more bananas than absolutely necessary somehow managed choke down his share. It was a testament to his love of both me and the San Rafael that he never turned down a trip with us, even after being force fed bananas.
The San Rafael Swell is rich with reminders of those who lived there long ago. My family loved to visit an Allosaurus footprint. It was a magical to think that we could still see precisely where this creature had stepped. There were Native American pictographs and petroglyphs which filled me a desire to connect to a people who had lived long ago. As I looked at the art I would wonder what the people were like who made these pictures. What made them laugh, cry, what did their pictures mean to them?
From an early age I realized that not everyone regarded this land the way my family did. Some pictographs had been covered by graffiti and there were places where the hills and vegetation including the delicate, slow forming, erosion resistant soil crust had been torn up by newly popular ATV's. It wasn't the work of someone using a trail to get to a distant location, it was the repeated up and down of people looking for a thrill. From my earliest memory by brothers and I were incensed by this. We could understand the excitement of the ride, but thought that we had seen plenty of ugly hills where such recreation could be done without destroying something so breathtaking and fragile, a place that seemed sacred.
In the 1990's more attention was paid to preserving the land. Even though it meant we could no longer drive up the wash to our favorite campsite, we were pleased that the graffiti was removed from the pictographs and relieved that the hills were protected from four wheelers.
In the years that have followed Peter and I have taken our own children to the San Rafael and watched their faces light up at their first sighting of the dinosaur print, or the excitement of finding a piece of petrified wood. I have heard my own children wonder aloud about the people who left their art on the walls so long ago. In those moments I feel a connection to my beloved grandma, who passed away many years ago. In this place I feel a connection to the generations of my family, and beyond that to the desert dwellers who left their art. I feel my connection to the creatures who roamed the San Rafael millions of years ago when it was a jungle. In this place I feel my connection to the earth and an overpowering sense of sacredness.
This is the basis of my environmentalism. I never want to have to say of my beautiful San Rafael, "She is gone, and we shall not see her like again."  I have no expectation that we humans will not leave a mark on her, we are after all, a part of the world, but I do hope we will not, in arrogance, trade her beauty for a short sighted season of convenience or a momentary joyride in the history of humanity.  All of this is what Peter and I heard in Utah Slim's "Sister San Rafael." Thanks Slim for giving us such a beautiful way to express our love for that place.
That "Low Lonesome Sound"
We've been working on arranging songs for our second album, and have been repeatedly drawn to the key of A (pretty low in my voice), viola, long neck banjo, and astonishingly low tunings on the guitar. It occurred to me that perhaps we were birthing a new sound… a "low lonesome sound." I've made my share of lonesome sounds in my life. Many of them have been in the "High Lonesome" bluegrass style, singing and playing songs that sprang out of the soil long ago, but this seemed like something new.
At the Celtic Festival in Evanston last month I was reminded of the lonesome sound that happened the first time I played the Scottish Bagpipes. Several years back my in-laws came home from a trip abroad with a set, and presented them with great expectation to Mary and her five brothers. We were instructed that they were for sharing but that whoever showed the most promise could have a go at learning them first. There was no shortage of enthusiasm, and three of Mary's brother's rushed off to the other room to assemble the pipes. Moments later they came marching into the room accompanied by a sound I can only describe as a flock of geese dying of pneumonia while attempting to escape from a butcher.
With my musical training I felt certain I could do a little better. So after an excruciating half hour during which everyone tried to offer advice (which of necessity was done very loudly as at least one or two of the brothers at a time were always having a go at the pipes), I finally suggested maybe I should have a try. After all, I'm not bad with a penny whistle and how different could it be? Besides, with my hearing loss I had always imagined I would take up the pipes when I could no longer hear well enough to sing.
So I set to it. It seemed clear to me that one of the problem they were having was that they weren't getting the chanter going and that perhaps the drone pipes were a bit out of tune. After 15 minutes or so of adjustments I felt I was ready to give it a go. I filled the bladder with air, squeezed, and…
Well, let's just say it was a lonesome sound. Not one that anyone stayed around to listen to, although everyone was laughing hard enough it was difficult for them to leave. Later in the day an acquaintance who played pipes came by the house and we had him look at what we felt was clearly a defective instrument that my in-laws had been bilked into buying by some unscrupulous Scotsman. He picked the pipes up, made a couple of adjustments and burst into a glorious refrain of "Scotland the Brave". All of us clamored for an explanation of why it hadn't worked for us. He just winked and said "Maybe you just aren't Scotch enough". He left us with his card in case we wanted some lessons.
Several bottles of Scotch later we still hadn't solved the mystery. The Pipes didn't sound too bad after he had adjusted them, but none of us had the strength to blow, squeeze and play at the same time. Finally we decided he was right, none of us had enough Scottish blood. However, we reasoned that as all of us had some Scottish ancestry, maybe if we all tried at once we'd be equal to the task. Jobs were assigned and I managed to get the job of fingering the chanter as I was the only one with experience playing a tube with holes. One of us was in charge of blowing, another in charge of squeezing, and the last person just stood by shouting out helpful advice and encouragement. Finally we were able to launch into a halting but reasonably passable rendition of "Scotland the Brave". Marching proved complicated however, with three of us attached to the pipes at various heights and with varying levels of force. We were finally forced to stop when the breathing tube was jammed up a nostril and we all tripped over each other landing in a heap. That was a "low lonesome sound" indeed.
Other low lonesome sounds in my repertoire include the rumblings of gastrointestinal distress (sure to clear a room in a jiffy) and the sound of me attempting Tuvan throat singing (also a crowd repellent). One lonesome sound I've left behind is snoring (this is such a lonesome sound that had me banned to the living room at times). Apparently losing a little weight was enough to clear that one up and I've been less lonely since.
There's no need to fear, the only lonesome sounds you'll hear at our upcoming concerts are the folk and blues inspired low lonesome songs of people far from their homes and safety. We'll steer clear of the rest. Hope to see you in the audience. Be sure to say hello! We may play a lonesome song now and then but we love the company of music lovers!
-Peter is a very poor piper, and pecks of pepper make him sneeze, but has done himself proud in the pickin' and singing world. Come see Otter Creek do their thing April 21 at the 9th and 9th concert series in Salt Lake. Full details available on the calendar tab.

In anticipation of the coming Midsummer Night the players took their lowest-level characters up through the Briars to Skull Mountain to make sure the high-level part would have a relatively easy time of it as they brought in a sage of astronomy to use the observatory. The initial party is meant to clear out the Entry Halls and then head back to the town of Esber.
NH- Akira, 3rd level monk with the enchanted punch!
the party collectively hired 3 mercenaries, all heavy foot, a drover, and a lackey. They remained in camp.
"Oh, I get it. Man, I wish I could just... throw encumbrance on an enemy!"
I love the perspective new players have!
This led my oldest and I to joke around until we came up with - the Bag of Encumbrance.
The bag appears to be an unremarkable jute bag full of a strange red-brown dust, about the consistency of fine wheat flour. No matter how much dust is inside the enchanted bag always weighs/encumbers as 5 lbs.
Once per round the owner can reach into the bag, pull out a handful of the dust, and hurl it at a foe. The dust 'hold together' almost like a snowball until it strikes a solid object and has ranges of 2"/4"/6".Since the dust is not stopped by armor only dexterity and magical bonuses affect armor class.
Example: Jerczy was doing well, but the enemies were too many. Inghemar reached into her Bag of Encumbrance and tossed the dust at the half-ogre. The half-ogre was in +3 plate mail, normally A.C 0 but only the bonuses mattered - she rolled against A.C. 7.
Any creature struck by the Dust gains a "level" of encumbrance that reduces their movement rate 1/4th of their unencumbered maximum. A human with a base movement of 12" now has a max base of 9"; if they were already in plate mail and carrying a lot of gear so that they were at a maximum of 4" their new movement would be 1". Creatures with magical movement (such as Boots of Speed) use their magical top speed as their base movement.
At two "levels" the target cannot fly (naturally, by spell, or by item), swim or effectively jump more than half a foot vertically. When movement is reduced to 0" or at 4 "levels" the creature collapses, immobilized by the magical weight. The magical encumbrance can cause no direct harm, although a target may drown, be killed while pinned, etc.
Target can drop equipment, remove armor, etc. to reduce natural encumbrance. Even at a movement rate of 0" this can be done at half the usual speed. Regardless of actual encumbrance a creature affected by 4 or more "levels" of magical encumbrance will remain immobilized.
When the Dust is removed from the bag its magical properties briefly affect the wielder as the Dust is hurled, making its use exhausting. The Dust can only be hurled every other round and if hurled in 4 of any 12 rounds the user must rest for a turn before running or fighting.
When a Bag is found it has 1d6+4 uses of Dust inside. If the Dust is placed into any container but the appropriately enchanted Bag that container immediately has the full amount of encumbrance of the dust inside. Also, once removed from the Bag the Dust loses its potency after just 3 days.
Legend states that the Dust is made from a rare ant found only on the Plane of Earth.
When a Bag is found it has 126+4 uses of Dust inside. If the Dust is placed into any container but the appropriately enchanted Bag that container immediately has the full amount of encumbrance of the dust inside. Also, once removed from the Bag the Dust loses its potency after just 3 days.

Appointment setting is a metier B2B sector where, particular enterprises specialise in increasing the sales revenue of their customers by cold calling, lead generating services, scheduling appropriate appointments for their clients with their end consumers and traders. The qualified appointments, in turn help the firm in obtaining clients.
The appointment setting organisations focus on many techniques of lead generation companies like online network researching, pursuing customers, expanding their contacts through various methods and mediums, interventions, leveraging contacts, increasing network, etc.
As an appointment setting or a lead generation company, you are accountable for contacting leads over the phone to schedule or set appointments. A lead is merely a person who depicts genuine interest in your goods and service and is sanctioned to make purchase judgements. Functioning as an appointment setter can cause you a lot of unnecessary pressure. If you are not scheduling appointments, the firm's productivity takes a hit. The best method to become an active appointment setter is by equipping yourself with all necessary knowledge in advance.
Textbook the script you will be pitching about your goods and services to prospective leads. Your speech should have an introduction of your brand, it should enumerate who you are or the enterprise you represent. The speech should sound completely natural and impromptu. If your pitch is not up to the mark, your lead will perhaps disconnect the call before you can ask to set up an appointment.
Sound enthusiastic about your good or service that you will be offering. If you are stirring to listen to, your prospective lead may cut the call instantly. It is an instinct to speak rapidly when you are panicky and trying just finish your speech. Practice speaking slowly and clearly.
Pay attention to your lead instead of concentrating on successfully completing your speech. By hearing, you can pick up on the indications that the customer is genuinely interested in your products or services. When the lead indicates something, Think on the spot and answer his question instead of finishing your script.
Study how to handle hostilities. The ideal way to handle an opposition is to be ready for it. May sound simple but that is the solution to your problem. Practice your rebuttals for every probable opposition your lead can give you. When a lead opposes your pitch or an appointment, know which contradiction to use from your arsenal.
Demand the name of the best people to call or to visit to further converse about the assistances your company provides. Don't forget to get the person's phone number and ask the appropriate time to call. Provide your prospective lead with a variety of dates to avoid scheduling an appointment far into the future. By setting the appointment close to your conversation call, the details are still fresh in the lead's mind. Lastly, ask for an email address so you can send ratification.
Don't forget to send a confirmation through email reminding your lead of his scheduled appointment. Concisely recapitulate what the appointment will be about and what the lead should expect. Recap the lead on the conversation he had with you and the when he had it.
If your prospective lead refuses for an appointment, politely ask for the reason behind it. Acquiring this information is important. It give you an opportunity to know where you're lacking in presenting your pitch or what you should add to make it more attractive.
Like we mentioned before, appointment setting can be extremely tedious. Hence if you don't feel like doing it, you can always rely on Strategic Sales and Marketing to assist you and make appointment setting absolutely easy for you.

Q: JSON ou SQLite? Estou desenvolvendo um app simples em PhoneGap e vou precisar ter basicamente 2 tabelas. Uma para armazenar os nomes das séries e outra para armazenar os exercícios de cada série específica. Mas não sei bem como funciona tanto o JSON como o SQLite, gostaria de saber se pra uma informação tão simples, qual seria melhor para se utilizar.

A: A principal diferença dessas duas abordagens é que se você for usar JSON (e gravar em um arquivo local, usando as APIs de I/O do PhoneGap), você está responsável por decidir como armazenar / ler esta informação no sistema de arquivos local - e dependendo de como você gravar os dados a forma de acessá-los irá variar bastante.
Tipicamente, usar JSON para armazenar dados funciona bem quando você pode gravar e ler todos os dados de uma vez (*) - você serializa (e.g., JSON.stringify) o objeto (ou array) que contem os seus dados, e grava tudo em um arquivo local. Quando precisar acessar o dado, você lê o arquivo local e carrega todos os dados na memória. Se quiser acessar apenas parte do dado, ainda assim (neste exemplo) você teria que carregar todos os dados na memória. Para inserir / atualizar / remover uma linha da tabela (e.g., uma série de exercícios), você adicionaria / modificaria / removeria ela do array em memória e, novamente, grava todo o arquivo.
Se usar um banco de dados, como SQLite, você tem mais controle sobre o que será acessado em disco. Você pode ler apenas uma parte da tabela, editar / remover apenas uma linha da tabela.
A melhor solução é geralmente a mais simples que funciona para o seu cenário. Se a quantidade de informação que será armazenada no cliente é pequena o suficiente (e a definição de "pequena o suficiente" depende de fatores como quantidade de dados, memória dos dispositivos onde você imagina que a sua applicação irá rodar, etc.), que possa ser sempre carregada em memória sem problemas, então usar o sistema de arquivos diretamente via as tabelas JSON-ificadas é uma boa solução. Se o custo de ter todos os objetos em memória é muito alto, ou se você precisa de outras features de um banco de dados (e.g., indíces para performance de buscas, simplicidade em realizar JOIN's, etc.), então usar um BD (como SQLite) é mais vantajoso.
(*) O seu caso parece ser mais simples que o caso geral - você tem duas tabelas (relação 1:n, pelo que entendi), então você pode diminuir alguma das limitações da opção de sistema de arquivos. Por exemplo, você pode ter um arquivo (que seria lido em memória) com o nome das séries, e um dos campos do objeto armazenado naquele arquivo seria o nome de outro arquivo que contém os exercícios para aquela série, e algum outro campo pelo qual você queira fazer buscas (e.g., data da série). Somente quando a aplicação precisar acessar os dados de séries específicas é que você precisaria fazer a leitura delas para memória, e você também pode editar / adicionar / remover séries específicas sem ter que sempre gravar / carregar todo o seu "banco de dados".

The correct alignment of the body in the different postures (asanas) and breathing exercises (pranayamas) form the basis of Hatha yoga as taught in the Iyengar yoga classes. The use of props as developed by BKS Iyengar (such as straps, bricks, chairs, walls and ropes) allows everyone, regardless of age and physical condition, to find the right alignment in yoga postures.
Iyengar Yoga is a form of Hatha Yoga but differs in the sense that it is a rigorous and standardized teaching system.
Iyengar Yoga teachers undergo a very demanding training, and undergo rigorous evaluations. They are able to demonstrate and verbally instruct each posture clearly. They will know how to put in place the necessary props to maximize the opening and awaken the intelligence of the body. Those props are providing support to beginners, additional intensity to the more advanced student, or used depending on the desired effect during the session.
Teaching is geared towards gradual and codified but steady progress, rather than rapid and ephemeral results. Each Iyengar yoga class is designed to be a unique sequence, developed by the teacher, that guides students to safe progression.

Description: LV 30mm 2" Eyepiece. The Vixen LV series eyepiece feature long 20mm eye relief and high-grade Lanthanum glasses to minimize abberations (LV Zoom, LV30, LV40, and LV50 eyepieces excepted. The eyepiece lenses are multicoated to reduce reflections and improve light transmission for high contrast and elimination of ghost images.
The rubber eyecups, which can be folded down for use with eyeglasses, shield unwanted light.
Buyed it for 160,- Euros on a convention, called HTT in germany.
For that money, the build quality and the performance its a pure 10!!!
I have used this eyepiece to death and must say it is my work horse in this size. Not the best eyepiece I have ever used but darn good.
Center of FOV sharpness and contrast is very good, providing very nice black sky background, and with very comfortable and usable eye relief. At f/5.3 star image quality remains high until about 2/3 rds of the way to the edge of the FOV. Fairly flat field with good color purity. This is a well-built eyepiece and while fairly large and substantial in weight (about 1 lb.) - it's size looks like it would be heavier than it is. However, it is not a super-heavy weight like the 31mm Nagler and 35mm Panoptic. Similar performance to the 32mm Meade SWA and TV Wide Field.
Here's a simple but hopefully detailed review of the eyepiece.
My experience with eyepieces and equipment - I know the basics, but not very much about the details. What I believe to be important about reviewing this eyepiece is the realization that eyepieces work in different ways with different types of telescopes. However, the RFT should in general, give the most sensitive test of the eyepiece's performance (due to small focal ratio).
Result is I can vaguely see the dark sillhouette of the secondary mirror floating in front of me through the eyepiece view.
The 30mm coupled to the 8" gave ~ 26.7X mag. with 2.24 degree FOV (AFOV 60deg).
Through my telescope, stars remained sharp until the outer 70% to 75% of the view. If you can tolerate this (and some coma), the views are spectacular. Sweeping the milky way is a breathtaking experience. I also coupled the eyepiece to a 2X barlow and the views are spectacular. With the barlow, the eyepiece won't reach focus unless I pull the barlow out and tighten the focuser's securing screws around halfway between the barlow's barrell's midpoint to the barlow's edges bottom edge.
Mechanically, the eyepiece is very well built. There is a niche in the barrell where the focuser screws can hold on better to the eyepiece. However I find it a little annoying when removing the eyepiece because I never seem to unscrew the focuser's securing screw far enough. one thing to note is that this eyepiece has no rubber eyecups.
This eyepiece can be special ordered from Orion (www.telescope.com) - I'm in no way affiliated with this company, just a happy customer. Price of this eyepiece when I bought it was about $173 including shipping and a 2 month wait.
I'm not a fan of the shorter focal length Lanthanums, but I do like the 2" 30mm very much. Sharp to the edge and it seems more contrasty than the standard 1.25" versions. There is also noticably less light scatter, but that could be attributed to it being a lower power eyepiece than the others I've tried. I wanted to buy the 31mm Nagler type 5 but it was far too heavy for my liking as I didn't want one eyepiece in my collection that requires me to re-balance everytime. It may not have the 82� field of view but it gives very little else up to the big TeleVue eyepiece, evident after doing side by side comparisons with an observing buddy. 95% of the performance for 25% of the price with no kidney beaning - no contest for me, and for a wider field I'm going to buy a 2" 42mm 72� LVW or Pentax 40mm 65� with what I've saved and it'll still be half the price I was going to pay. Highly recommended.

Rural Housing:
Changing the Definition of Rural Could Improve Eligibility Determinations
GAO-05-110: Published: Dec 3, 2004. Publicly Released: Jan 3, 2005.
William B. Shear
Rural America has become more diverse: technology and the spread of suburbia have linked rural areas to urban areas, resulting in diminished distinctions between the two. The Rural Housing Service (RHS) applies statutory requirements for eligibility that may not reflect changes in rural areas or best determine which areas qualify for its housing programs. GAO's objectives included assessments of how eligibility is defined for RHS programs and how changes in the current eligibility requirements might impact the RHS mission of meeting rural housing needs.
RHS determines which areas will be eligible (that is, defined as rural) for its programs by applying requirements in the Housing Act of 1949, as amended. While the definition largely focuses on population--generally up to 20,000--certain communities must also be "rural in character," not part of metropolitan statistical areas (MSA--which is defined as a county or counties associated with a city or urbanized area that has a population of at least 50,000), or demonstrate a serious lack of mortgage credit for lower- and moderate-income families. Also, a "grandfather" clause allows communities with populations over 10,000 to retain eligibility if they become part of an MSA--and still meet the "rural in character" criterion and not exceed 25,000 in population. These eligibility requirements resulted in dissimilar determinations for what appeared to be similar areas. For example, in visits to five states GAO found that applying the grandfather clause enabled certain communities within MSAs to retain eligibility while other communities within the same MSAs remained ineligible even though they met current "rural" and population criteria. In addition, GAO analysis of nationwide data found that RHS made more than 1,300 communities with populations of 10,000 or below eligible that were within or contiguous to areas that had populations of 50,000 or more. GAO identified alternatives to retaining the MSA, grandfather, and credit requirements in the Housing Act of 1949. Because MSAs contain both urban and rural areas and have increased substantially in both size and number in recent decades, they may not be good determinants of urban-rural distinctions. According to the 2000 census, about half the nation's rural population lives in MSAs. An alternative measure would be to use the Census Bureau's urbanized areas and urban clusters, which are density-based measures that provide finer-scale information and could help RHS better and more consistently make eligibility determinations for areas with similar population and characteristics. By dropping the MSA requirement, "grandfathering" also could be phased out, allowing RHS to make determinations that focused on current conditions rather than prior eligibility. In addition, a 1997 USDA report found that lack of credit in rural areas was no longer a serious problem; rather, a lack of income and ability to pay the mortgage were greater issues. Therefore, the requirement to demonstrate a lack of credit no longer appears to be relevant to meeting housing needs in rural America.
Matters for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: To better ensure that the definition of rural results in more consistent application of eligibility for Rural Housing Service (RHS) housing programs, in our December 2004 report we suggested that Congress may want to consider eliminating the metropolitan statistical area criterion and that it be replaced with RHS using density-based measures for its eligibility decisions. In a March 2005 oversight hearing in which we presented the findings of our report, the Chairman of the House Committee on Financial Services' opening statement said that he was "concerned by recent GAO reports that show an uneven RHS definition of rural," and that the Committee needs "to take a look at how RHS determines eligibility requirements to ensure that those families living in rural communities have access to the resources of RHS." During the hearing, the RHS Administrator said that he agreed with GAO that out-of date boundaries serve no purpose and that RHS had been working closely with GAO and the Department's Economic Research Service to find a good way of ensuring RHS is covering all the rural areas. During the hearing discussion on eligibility, the RHS Administrator added that RHS would obviously implement the will of Congress in this matter and could write or comment on legislation if so requested. The House version of the 2008 Farm Bill called for the Secretary of Agriculture to study the rural definition issue, including describing what effects varying definitions of "rural" have on USDA programs. The Senate version established a density-based criterion in the standard definition of "rural" for agricultural credit (not rural housing) programs and, similar to the House version, required the Secretary of Agriculture to assess, and report on, the various definitions of rural used in UDSA programs. The Conference committee compromise adopted the Senate amendment with several changes. It struck the housing density criterion from the standard definition of rural for agricultural credit programs. However, it directed USDA to conduct a rulemaking for those programs that allows USDA to employ the housing density criterion. The Conference committee retained the requirement that the Secretary of Agriculture report to the Congress on the various USDA program definitions of rural. The report is due in two years.
Matter: To better ensure that the definition of rural results in more consistent application of eligibility for RHS housing programs, Congress may wish to consider eliminating the MSA criterion and recommending that RHS use density-based measures as a basis for its eligibility decisions.
Comments: To better ensure that the definition of rural results in more consistent application of eligibility for Rural Housing Service (RHS) housing programs, in our December 2004 report we suggested that Congress may want to consider phasing out the practice of "grandfathering" communities that experienced changes in eligibility because of inclusion in a metropolitan statistical area. In a March 2005 oversight hearing where we presented the findings of our report, the Chairman of the House Committee on Financial Services' opening statement said that he was "concerned by recent GAO reports that show an uneven RHS definition of rural," and that the Congress needs "to take a look at how RHS determines eligibility requirements to ensure that those families living in rural communities have access to the resources of RHS." During the hearing, the RHS Administrator said that he agreed with GAO that out-of-date boundaries serve no purpose and that RHS had been working closely with GAO and the Department's Economic Research Service to find a good way of ensuring RHS is covering all the rural areas. During the hearing discussion on eligibility, the RHS Administrator added that RHS would obviously implement the will of Congress in this matter and could write or comment on legislation if so requested. In a followup question for the record, Congressman Pearce asked RHS if it would grandfather in a new definition of rural. RHS responded that it believed that there is merit in considering whether communities currently defined as "rural" should be grandfathered if statutory changes were made, and that Rural Development would be working closely with Congress in determining any potential changes to the statute.
Matter: To better ensure that the definition of rural results in more consistent application of eligibility for RHS housing programs, Congress may wish to consider phasing out the practice of "grandfathering" communities that experienced changes in eligibility because of inclusion in an MSA.
Comments: In its official agency comments, the Acting Under Secretary for Rural Development wrote that he agreed the statutory lack of credit requirement could be removed with no detriment to the housing programs. He wrote that USDA Rural Development interprets the provision to apply to the customers served, and not the areas served. During a March 2005 hearing on Rural Housing Service (RHS) oversight, the Chairman said that he found the reference to a lack of mortgage credit requirement to be of particular interest. He asked the GAO witness to comment on the language in the GAO testimony about demonstrating a serious lack of mortgage credit being of marginal utility. The GAO witness responded that (1) the Rural Housing Service basically says, all rural areas have a lack of mortgage credit so it is not a distinguishing factor and (2) research by a number of parties, including USDA's Economic Research Service, show that the problems with lack of mortgage credit is more income-driven, rather than being geographically driven. So what makes sense to us, and is consistent with RHS's policies, is that you would want to take into account the incomes of the potential recipients, rather than making the rural definition take into account lack of mortgage credit.
Matter: To better ensure that the definition of rural results in more consistent application of eligibility for RHS housing programs, Congress may wish to consider eliminating the "lack of credit" requirement.

Facebook Messenger is a stand-alone chat app that lets you to chat with your Facebook friends. The app is also expanding to support other third party apps so you can send GIFs and short movies in Messenger.
If you have a lot of Facebook friends, Messenger is the easiest way to keep in touch with them. Chats are normally one-on-one and you can see when your friend has read the message or when they are writing one. You can create group messages and have all your messages in one place.
Messenger also supports sharing photos and videos. You can take a photo or video directly in the app or attach a photo. If texting isn't enough, you can make free voice or video calls with the app. Both voice and video calls can be made through Wi-Fi or cellular data.
Messenger also gives you the option to share your location by default, which is good if you're meeting someone. The app also supports stickers by default and you can purchase more through Facebook's store. If you think the stickers are boring, you can download compatible apps for Messenger like GIFHY or Bitmoji to add a customized message.
There is also the possibility that games will be added to Messenger in the future.
Messenger on Android supports Chat Heads. Chat Heads are a persistent floating Messenger shortcut to your current conversations. You can move Chat Heads anywhere on your screen and it acts as an overlay on top of any running app. To close a Chat Head, hold the circle and swipe to the bottom of the screen.
The usefulness of Messenger is based off how much you use it. If you talk to friends mainly through Messenger, the app is great. But if you use alternative messaging apps, Messenger can sit unused on your device.
But when you're traveling internationally, Messenger is a great app because you don't have to worry about expensive charges if you have to dial an international phone number.
Compatible apps for Messenger add more personalization, but don't dramatically change how you use the app. Messenger is first and foremost a chat app and it is great at connecting you to your friends.
However, Messenger will never replace your phone number or dialer even through Facebook is trying with Hello.
Facebook is expanding the usability of Messenger slowly. It now supports voice and video calls and you can install compatible apps to add something extra to your chats.
But at its core, it's all about chatting with friends. And since messaging isn't supported in the main Facebook app, you're forced to use Messenger.
