"Suicide bomb backer runs Ken campaign" and Paddick launches strong attack on Livingstone
That's the headline that Londoners will see as they pick up their Evening Standard tonight.
The Standard really is throwing the kitchen sink at Ken Livingstone. Day after day they have been exposing the sleaze that characterises Livingstone's Mayoralty. If Livingstone is ousted on 1st May it won't be ridiculous for the newspaper's editor, Veronica Wadley to say that "It was the Standard wot won it".
Today's p1 splash focuses on the fact that Muslims4Ken - an effort to mobilise 200,000 Muslim Londoners for the Qaradawi-hugging Mayor - is led by a man who backs suicide bombing. Azzam Tamimi is a supporter of Hamas and has said that he would volunteer for a suicide mission in Palestine.
Also in today's Standard is news that Paddick regards Ken Livingstone as a "nasty little man". The Standard reports:
"Mr Paddick said he was not "equidistant" between his Labour and Conservative opponents and confirmed he seriously considered an approach from David Cameron to be the party's candidate. "I didn't say I was equidistant between the two of them. It is very difficult to gauge where I am between the other two candidates because it is like comparing chalk and cheese. "I seriously considered, for a few hours, the approach from the Conservatives. But on principle I couldn't stand for what the Conservatives stand for. I am a Liberal Democrat, that's where my heart lies."
In the crucial battle for second preferences this could lead to good news for Boris.

Crike,y looks like Paddick has gone mad!
At least he's a bit more interesting now though...

This kind of journalism does no one any good. The headline is a travesty - if you read the story there is no connection with Ken's campaign whatsoever. This will backfire for sure- an alliance with the Standard is a faustian pact.

Nicholas, I don't know about mad, but he certainly has gone missing.
A friend of mine who works for a London based charity said that Paddick pulled out of the CSJ's Mayoral Hustings this morning giving less than 30 minutes notice and that she overheard a journalist saying that it was because he had been 'shell-shocked' at the response to him at Killburn last night. Apparently the audience gave him a really hard time and now he is sulking.

He has been a dreadful candidate. Dull and wooden with vaguely annoying policies. People keep attacking Boris for his figures on the new Routemaster, hardly anyone has picked up on Paddick's 'trams cost less than buses' nonsense.
Now he just looks dull AND nasty.
What an OTT headline.

If people read that I'm sure it'll win paddick some votes.
I'm still thinking of voting for him (then Boris, of course).
Chances are it'll still end up as a vote for Boris, but if Paddick does better in the 1st round it might be a sign I quite like some of his policies (even tho he's a bit dull)
My only concern is that it becomes paddick/boris in the final 2!

Boris Johnson has admitted what he refused to admit (several times) on Newsnight. That his bus idea would cost 100 million, not the 8 million he claimed in the first place.

@"Boris gaffe"
I'm not sure what the story is there ... it was all over the news as if they were going "aaah.. caught you out"
but as he said on newsnight he wanted to get it done for the same price as the hybrid busses.
He worked out that ken was gonna pay 100million for them, so that's what his budget is.
That is no relation to the price of conductors, yet it was still reported as if he made a "gaffe".
I know the media are desperate to have him make mistakes as that's the caracterture they created for him, but this wasn't one!
Why was he evasive about the cost on Newsnight? Did he not know how much the hybrid buses would cost (with his level of attention to detail that seems likely)?
Also, since talking with that woman, who appears to be one of Livingstone's activists, why has he reverted back to the original figure? Isn't that dishonesty?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSFJ3JCv8ec
This is the You Tube clip.
he was evasive about the costs as he didn't want it used against him -at the time ken was being shadey about his costs so would have just come up with a higher/lower figure for his if Boris had said.
What you don't seem to be able to grasp is that these are 2 seperate costs.
1 is the cost of getting the busses on the road (£100million)
the other is the cost of conductors (£8million, as long as they aren't on every single new bus 24hours a day - which seems reasonable)
Excuse me - what's wrong with the headline? Muslims4Ken is a key element of Livingstone's get-out-the-vote strategy and it's run by a proud supporter of suicide bombing.
If Ken wants to consort with terrorist groupies he can't complain when people point this out. He's a moral leper.

er, Boris's bus figures still don't seem to add up, and I'm not too sure what he's actually promising.
I mean, what is a "new Routemaster" for God's sake - there's either a Routemaster [a 1950s, front-engined, rear platform double deck bus] or there's something different!
So what will Boris actually put on the road to replace Hendy's bendies?
£100m to replace 400 bendies = £250k each, which means a fairly conventional double decker.
£8m (per annum ?) for conductors will buy you ... er
90% x 400 buses = 360 on the road per day; two shift working = 720 conductors; multiply by 6/4.5 for days off = 960 conductors needed; add 10% for sickness, training, annual leave = 1056 conductors.
Divide £8m into that and they will be on ... £7,575 pa !!
Where's he going to recruit them? China? Bangladesh?
Perhaps one of you clever Tories could tell me where I've gone wrong?
Posted by: Gwyn the bus man | April 16, 2008 at 18:18
@"Gwyn the bus man" ... London living wage is £7.50, so guess you can say that's what the conductors would be on which is about £14k, so double the amount you suggest.
So there's either 1 shift, or half the buses don't have conductors.
I'm sure not every bus needs one - you're not gonna need one at the ends of the routes or at quiet times when there's only 2 people on the bus, that would be silly.
You'll have to wait and see what people come up with at the competition to get the definition of the "new Routemaster".
Expect it would end up being a standardish double-decker with multiple entrances.

Why does Boris only know what his bus policy will cost in private but not on TV?

The transcript from BBC London News.
BBC London News
Riz Lateef
RL: Boris Johnson's bus plans have been a sticking point throughout his mayoral campaign. He promised to replace bendy busses with a new fleet of Routemasters, but for weeks he has failed to put an exact price on it. Now the Conservative candidate has revealed more details of the possible costs but not in the way he intended. Caught on the hop while campaigning, he put the figure at £100 million. But in a BBC debate to be shown tonight, he failed to give this new figure. Our political editor Tim Donovan reports.
TD: His campaign bus is an old Routemaster, and he's promised to bring it back in a new form. But the pledge looks in danger of reversing over him. Campaigning in Edgware, he was filmed on a mobile phone being asked by a Labour supporter how much his fleet of new busses would cost.
BJ: Well [inaudible] 500 new Routemasters would cost about £100 million.
TD: Moments later anxious aides were asking him what he'd just said to the woman.
BJ: What I said, I was asked, they said what are the costs of the new busses, and I said it would be about £100 million which is about, you know is 500 times 25. But I've already said...they will now go away and say the cost of the, that I'm going to spend £100 million on new busses.
TD: It is the first time he's used the £100 million figure. It shows he thinks 500 new Routemasters will be needed to replace the current 330 bendy busses. That he knows would mean extra conductors and extra drivers, costing much more than the £8 million figure he's given so far. At a BBC London debate to be screened tonight, he was asked about that figure.
BJ: No I... I stick by our figure of £8 million
[Audience laughs]
BJ: ...as the cost of...
AN: You stick by £8 million?
BJ: ...as the cost of conductors on 350, roughly 350...
AN: But there are three shifts for each Routemaster?
BJ: Would you let me finish? As the cost of conductors on roughly 350 new generation Routemasters. It is true that if you have three conductors and you have three shifts then it goes up.
@London LX
it doesn't really matter whether you think all these "new" Routemasters need conductors, or whether I think they need conductors
the key is that Boris doesn't appear to know what he's on about !!!!
There is a cogent argument that bendies have their faults;
There is a cogent argument that using buses in London would be more pleasant if conductors were to be restored (though where you recruit them is another matter)
But Boris has made this a centrepiece of his campaign without a shred of evidence that it is practical or affordable, or that he understands what he's proposing !!!
I like the principle quite frankly, and given how much fat on the corrupted bone there is surrounding the current mayoralty, I don't think that this is going to be the straw that breaks the camels back. Halving the PR dept would do it.
I believe that the reduction of effective authoritative figuressuch as conductors, park wardens etc has contributed to the fear of crime. PCSOs are a step to address this but they are police orientated and therefore are not necessarily trusted/liked by all segments of the community. The reappearance of figures such as the bus conductor is welcome.

A fine new Routemaster could be designed, including all the improvements such as disabled access, low floor access, and clean engines.
We would need to tool up, and do not know the cost, but where there is a will, design projects can be achieved.
(We will also be saving money elsewhere in the Mayor's budget).
I would keep Bendy Buses - they don't need to be a scapegoat - the case for the Routemaster on certain routes stands on it's own.
Bendy Buses should probably be used on routes where the roads are larger or serving mainline stations, and generally should not be used on those which extend into difficult suburbs (like the 18 route along Harrow Road).
There would need to be a reshuffle of buses between routes. As some of the older (Denis) driver only double deckers come up for replacement, the most modern double deckers should move onto those routes, with Routemasters filling the gaps - but in the totality of things.

MGSGW Ch. 138
Lily really deserved to be an actress, even in real life she was so good at acting.
As soon as she said this, a reporter with keen observation immediately asked: "Miss Lily, what is the compensation? Why is it so much, 60 million?"
Of course Lily cried and told what happened yesterday. Things came out of different mouths, so of course the taste was completely different.
Obviously she brought people to smash up Lin Mumu's shop and forced Lin Mumu to play the leading role for her, yesterday she was also full of arrogance.
Now, she changed suddenly, the words that came out of her mouth made it seem like she was kind and sincere in representing AC Film and Television to ask Lin Mumu to be the heroine, but after Lin Mumu refused and humiliated her, the two sides clashed and accidentally smashed some of Lin Mumu's family's flowers and plants, Lin Mumu asked her to pay tens of millions in compensation, and if she didn't pay, she would be punished to death.
She was really powerful, bringing five or six tall and burly bodyguards to clash with other little girls? Black could have said to be turned white.
But the reporters obviously only cared about what Queen Lily said, who cared about an ordinary female student? They only cared about the shady truth behind Lily's indecent video. In the final analysis, all these news was all about money.
Lily also said: "Just because I smashed her shop, Ms. Lin hired a well-known lawyer and asked me to compensate her with 60 million yuan. I will pay more than 100 thousand yuan for a single plant in her shop. Of course I don't want to. Indecent videos were released that night. I really don't know anything about those videos. After thinking about it, the only person I offended was Ms. Lin Mumu. Ms. Lin, I was wrong, I admit it, please. Please let me go, I will never dare to fight against you again."
When Lily talked about the emotional part, she got too involved in the scene, and suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Mumu, and kowtowed to Lin Mumu in public.
Lin Mumu just felt tired and disgusted. Did people in this world like to kneel like Sun Xiaomei? Once someone kneeled down, everyone would surely sympathize with her.
Lily just knelt down, which immediately mobilized the attention of the reporters, and pushed Lin Mumu to the position of a heinous and unsympathetic bad woman.
What's more, Lily was a public figure, a goddess with tens of millions of fans all over the country, her kneeling would definitely bring Lin Mumu to the headlines. At that time, she was afraid that the onlookers in the whole Huaxia who didn't know the truth would help Lily condemn Lin Mumu.
Lin Mumu glanced at Lily, turned around and left, and closed the shop door by the way: "You guys want to film, please go elsewhere. You are not welcome here."
It's a pity that the reporters refused to let Lin Mumu go.
After taking pictures, someone helped Lily get up, someone frantically knocked on Lin Mumu's door and asked loudly: "Miss Lin Mumu, do you have anything to say?"
"Miss Lin Mumu, what do you think about this matter?"
"Miss Lin Mumu, we want to ask you a few questions."
The atmosphere was extremely noisy for a while.
However, Lin Mumu had already turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window, and was concentrating on her flowers and plants.
What Lily did was really disgusting, but Lin Mumu didn't want to argue with her. In front of the media, no matter what Lin Mumu said, it couldn't compare to what Lily said.
Because Lily was a popular actress, loved by countless people, but she had nothing.
That being the case, why would she bother to explain?
Although she felt a little wronged, the master said that the law was natural, and it was over after reading some Tao Te Ching. Outsiders were free to say what they wanted.
While tending the flowers and plants, Lin Mumu forcefully recited the Tao Te Ching to meditate.
She just felt aggrieved in her heart and it's hard to calm down.

#doyouevenlift Safely, or Is It Just for Show?
I'm a PT and movement coach and there are many moulds that I fit into to do my job. What mould exactly depends on my client, and what they want, as well as what they need.
Our industry was formed by a genuine desire to help people achieve lifestyle changes and goals. These days though, anyone with a Facebook account would be excused for thinking that it has become more about the trainers rather than the clients.
ProfessionalismAs a professional, it falls to me to ensure my client's safety in the studio, to push when a push is required, but also to ease off on the gas when my client's Daily Readiness isn't so crash hot, and of course, to make sure their movements are safe and effective.
And so, it concerns me that the quest for "Likes" on social media platforms can appear to compromise the professional integrity of some movement coaches.
Videos pop up from time to time on social media and, classically, what these clips are showing us is a compromise on quality. And whilst we don't know the context of the clips concerned, it appears here's another professional in the industry I love, seemingly putting their client at risk in return for a cool video. That trade of quality for "Likes" might seem like a good idea at the time but at the end of the day it's going to hurt your professional integrity and that of our industry as a whole.
"Likes" Versus TrustWhat's a "Like" worth anyway? Does it stack up against the relationship you have with your client? Is it worth not giving your client your full care and attention? Maybe it gets your business a little more exposure on social media, but if you're not focusing on your client in their session, might they go somewhere else? We know word of mouth is the best way of gaining new clientele in this industry; when someone is happy, they'll happily spread the word.
Our clients need to trust us and they need to know that we are there for them and not the other way around. This trust needs to continue for our relationship to be a productive one. What happens to that trust if they get hurt during a session? Society needs to know that we really are here to help. We want to help; otherwise we're not going to succeed long-term.
PT is about much more than some weight lost, or some muscle gained... or indeed, a PB lift.
It's about the relationships you develop and how, in these relationships, you can positively influence and empower your clients to better themselves and their quality of life.
Well, for starters, if your client's going for a PB or a heavy lift, put down your phone and make sure you're there to spot them; in fact, if you're providing a quality service, you shouldn't have your phone during a session AT ALL. If you need to film something at least set your phone up somewhere it can video you and your client making great things happen together. They may have done the lift 1000 times before, but that doesn't mean the next one won't be the one where they're a little distracted and need you to have their back.
Daily Readiness ObservationLearn to alter programs based on your client's daily conditions. PTA Global's Daily Readiness Observation tool (DRO) is easy and perfect for this. Your client will tell you what you need to know and you tweak from there.
Educate your client. Not just on ideal technique but on why today may not be the day for massive lifts if you haven't slept well or are barely hydrated.
On a side note, perfect text book form is a myth. We're all simply too different to fit into the exact same mould to have something that can be called "perfect form" (possibly a discussion for another time). However, what we can have is something that is ideal and safe for each of our clients.
As an industry, I feel we are much, much better than the amount of "Likes" we can get on our social media posts. If you get "Likes" because of being true to your clients' needs and by meeting them where they need to be met, then great! You should celebrate your clients' achievements, just make sure those achievements are steering them toward a happier, healthier future.

Biomechanical data may be used to inform the design process to ensure Inclusive Design. Yet many products are clearly not designed inclusively, one possible reason being that biomechanical data are not used, is not available or offers insufficient benefits to merit integration into the design process. This study investigates designers' use of biomechanical data to inform the process of Inclusive Design in the consumer packaging industry. Packaging design professionals were interviewed to elicit information regarding their use of biomechanical data and to establish if they followed Inclusive Design principles. Biomechanical data were collected using observational study and customised force and motion measurement tools. Finally, biomechanical data were presented to the designers to establish the best/preferred format for use in the design process. Biomechanical data were rarely used by the designers and Inclusive Design principles were not routinely incorporated into company procedures. There was clear preference for visual data with imagery of real subjects. Most quantitative force and motion data formats were considered to be unsuitable for routine use due to commercial priorities and lack of technical appreciation. The use of biomechanical testing to develop standards to allow Inclusive Design may be the way forward.


Louisville Metro Police arrested two robbery suspects Feb. 6 after they say a drug deal went bad inside the Retreat housing complex near campus.
James Robinson, 20, is charged with robbery in the first degree, criminal trespassing in the third degree, possession of marijuana and receiving stolen property of over $500.
Jalen Beene, 19, is charged with robbery in the first degree and criminal trespassing in the third degree.
Police say the incident can best be described as a drug deal gone bad.
The University of Louisville Police Department worked alongside Louisville police to apprehend and arrest the two suspects as part of their new partnership.
It is unknown at this time whether or not Beene or Robinson are connected with any of the other crimes that have occurred on campus.

Day 2 – WTM London, the business continues
In Press Releases, WTM London.
The second day of WTM London 2021 saw a busy agenda of business meetings, speed networking, high-level conferences, awards and press briefings.
One of the highlights was the annual ministers' summit, held in partnership with the UNWTO and WTTC.
Tourism ministers from around the world pledged to work towards the recovery of the sector with a focus on investing in sustainable travel.
Meanwhile, the International Tourism and Investment Conference at WTM – dubbed Invest, Finance and Restart – continued into its second day at Excel, building on the progress made on Monday.
Elsewhere on the exhibition floor, tourist boards from destinations such as Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Slovenia and the Maldives updated the international media about their countries' tourism strategies.
UNWTO, WTTC & WTM Ministers' Summit
Investing in Tourism's Sustainable Future was the agenda for ministers from countries including the UK, Italy, Portugal, Sierra Leone, Egypt, Jordan and the Philippines.
Moderated by the BBC's Zeinab Badawi, the summit also heard from Zurab Pololikashvili, Secretary-General at UNWTO, and Julia Simpson, WTTC Chief Executive, plus representatives from the private sector, such as the bosses of the Radisson Hotel Group and airport technology firm SITA.
The UNWTO will also partner with Arabian Travel Market – the sister event of WTM London – which will take place on 8-11 May in Dubai.Awards and Competition
There were two WTM awards presentations – the WTM Responsible Tourism Awards, celebrating best practice across the globe, and the WTM London 2021 Best Stand Awards.
The Responsible Tourism Awards honoured winners from countries such as India, the Maldives and South Africa. Meanwhile, destinations such as the Canary Islands, Ireland and Saudi Arabia among the winners of the Best Stand Awards.
Elsewhere, at Travel Forward – the travel technology event that is co-located with WTM London – the winners of the Front Runners Travel Tech Competition for start-ups were revealed as: hotel rebooking specialists from Israel, Pruvo and UK-based Hotelmize; Nepal-based Community Homestay Network, which creates jobs for locals by offering and promoting authentic local experiences; and Motiontag, a German mobility analytics company helping to fight the climate emergency by providing green incentive programmes.
(Front Runners Competition – Dedicated press release attached)
Agile travel companies look to the future
The travel industry is past the worst, a leading analyst told delegates.
During a session entitled: Fixing Travel's Broken Business Model, David Goodger MD Europe and Middle East at consultancy Oxford Economics, said: "We are optimistic that we are past the worst.
"The economy is rebounding. It's a consumer-led boom that we are looking at. People have had forced savings and they are spending it on travel. The year ahead, we do expect to see much stronger activity."
Fellow panellist Sophie Dekkers, Chief Commercial Officer at easyJet, said the airline "will come out stronger" from the pandemic, but added: "But it has been painful. We have had to be much more agile."
Currently, 70% of easyJet's bookings are for travel within the next three months and the airline is hoping for a favourable ski season.
"Fingers crossed for snow as skiers are desperate to go skiing," she said.
Adam Armstrong, CEO of Contiki – the adventure holidays and group travel specialist –also said the operator had had to be "agile in our products" as Covid rules had meant it has so far been unable to do multi-centre trips.
But he said more flexibility and pay options meant "there has never been a better time for a consumer to buy a travel product", adding: "I don't think that will ever change."
Meanwhile, Advantage Travel Partnership Chief Executive Julia Lo Bue-Said said there will "unfortunately be some more failures" in the industry.
"We have still got a tough winter to get through. You can't undo 20 months of devastation," she said.
However, she said the recently announced reopening of travel to the US "has dramatically changed our booking patterns overnight".
TikTok as a travel marketing tool
Travel companies can access a suite of advertising products on the TikTok platform from as little as £50 a day, Hannah Bennett, Industry Lead Travel Brand Partnership at the company told WTM delegates.
In a session entitled Is TikTok the Best Platform for Travel Brands and Content Creators?, she described Tik Tok as an entertainment platform rather than a social platform and said its mission is to inspire creativity. In September, the platform hit a record one billion users.
Bennett attributed some of the growth to the lockdown, saying parents, siblings and grandparents all got involved.
Google Stats
One in four consumers spend more time researching holidays than they did before the pandemic, but the majority of searches are for late bookings, according to Google.
The company's Agency Development Manager, Jad Khalil, said 24% of consumers are spending more time researching because of Covid and currently, 60% of domestic searches on Expedia are for travel within 0-21 days.
He said there is travel optimism because of the vaccine rollout but remaining uncertainty over new Covid variants. This has led to a rise in trips closer to home, a trend towards workcations and a boost in digital marketing.
Meanwhile, Steve Hyde, CEO of digital ad agency Push Group, said 70% total ad spend is on digital.
"If you are not aware, it's here, it's growing, it's speeding up," he said. "If you do the math, digital is good value compared to other forms of media" he said, but added that firms have not migrated away as quickly as the consumers have gone online.
Jordan Kingdom of Time – Press Conference
Jordan used WTM to reveal a new marketing brand, Jordan Kingdom of Time.
The slogan was announced during a press conference in which WTM delegates heard that income from overseas tourists dropped from £4.5bn in 2019 to £1.3bn in 2020.
Representatives said the country is "working together to send the right message that we are ready and welcoming our wonderful travellers".
Slovenia Press Conference
An eight-day ski touring route has opened in Slovenia's Julian Alps region, which encourages confident skiers to explore undeveloped areas, in keeping with the destination's plan to expand its sustainable tourism offering.
Klemen Langus, Director of Tourism Bottinj, one of the tourist boards in the Julian Alps region, said: "Everything is ready. We are just waiting for the snow to come.
Ski touring is quite developed in Slovakia and want to influence visitors to follow our sustainable vision while enjoying Triglav National Park on the Juliana SkiTour."
Maldives Press Conference
Destination aims to be leading meetings and events destination.
The Maldives unveiled a new initiative to become a leading meetings and events destination.
The Indian Ocean nation will also offer homestay holidays from January 2022 as part of a strategy to diversify its offering to visitors.
Mohamed Thoyyib, Managing Director of Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC), the national tourism promotion board, showed a video entitled 'Boardroom on the beach', showcasing the range of activities available for MICE [meetings, incentives, conference and events] delegates in the Maldives.
As well as the new homestay products, the destination also offers liveaboards and guest-houses but Thoyyib said the Maldives will retain its focus on premium luxury accommodation for which it is known.
The destination will launch a marketing campaign, called 'the story of the Maldives', "bringing the stories of our islands' culture and folklore" to consumers and the trade, he added.
Last year, the Maldives welcomed 500,000 despite the problems of the pandemic, and it has already surpassed the one-million mark in 2021.
Dr Abdulla Mausoom, Maldives' Minister of Tourism, said the nation has already recorded 10.7 million bed nights so far this year – which is better than in 2019, because people are staying longer.
He told delegates there will be a year-long celebration in 2022 marking the 50th anniversary of the start of tourism in the Maldives, with events and festivals taking place across the 200-island nation.
The minister told delegates that he was very glad to be at WTM, adding: "We have missed this for a very, very long time – being glued to our screens is not good."

The purpose of this document is to provide specific guidance to stakeholders when assessing the additionality of a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or sequestration of GHGs under the Alberta emission offset system. In order to demonstrate the additionality of the activities that are included or proposed to be included in the development or revision of an emission offset quantification protocol ("protocol"), the use of the tools contained in this technical guidance is a requirement for both the Alberta Climate Change Office (ACCO) and stakeholders. This document explains both the roles each of these parties play, and the process used for reviewing and assessing additionality during protocol development or revision.

Q: Android multi-touch feature (up to 6 touches) I want to know if it is possible to make an android application that features up to 6 touches simultaneously with the multi-touch option (not just two). Please can u help me to find some relevant literature. I've found some answers here on stackoverflow, but i am afraid that that's not enough.
I would appreciate every help. Thank you all in advance.

A: Devices that support "jazzhands" will handle up to 10 simultaneous touches. Your app can require jazzhands support via the following manifest element:
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.jazzhand" />

Not all devices will support this -- for example, the Kindle Fire only supports two simultaneous touches IIRC.

A: There is no software difference between 2 or 6 touches (except for the permission), it is hardware related and if you can't use more of 2 fingers then you should try on another device.
Anyway, if you want good multitouch litterature, have a look here:

Marx Ferenc kisiparos 1900. július 15-én indította meg üzemét a Budapest, VI. kerület Aradi utca 60. szám alatt. Mérei Emil 1898-ban Ferenc József jubileumi ösztöndíjában részesült és párizsi tanulmányutat tett. Hazatérése után ő is bekapcsolódott a vállalkozásba, s a cég felvette a Marx és Mérei Tudományos Műszerek Gyára nevet.

Története
A cég államsegéllyel kívánta a századforduló utáni műszergyártási konjunktúrát kihasználni. 1904-ben már a mérőeszközök osztályán 2000 darab hő-, feszültség-, vízállás-, vízszintmérő és rugómérleg készült. A cég újabb megrendeléseket nem szerezhetett, mert az osztrák és német importból származó, ismertebb nevű cégek uralták a piacot. Bár a gyár termékeinek minősége, műszaki színvonala elérte a külföldiek színvonalát, olcsóbbak is voltak, de hiányzott a piaci bevezetés. A hazai műszerek felhasználásában a gépgyárosok konzervatívak voltak és inkább külföldi kapcsolataikat részesítették előnyben.

A vállalat másik osztálya a fizikai, kémiai, elektrotechnikai laboratóriumok kísérleti műszereit gyártotta. Ezek eljutottak Olaszországba, Spanyolországba, Egyiptomba, Bulgáriába, sőt Dél-Amerikába is.

A cég profilbővítésre törekedett, állami segély igénybevételével. A Budapesti Kereskedelmi és Iparkamara 1904-ben felmérést végzett, hogy indokolt-e a segély. Természetesen a konkurens cégek vezetői elutasítólag nyilatkoztak, hiszen ezzel a versenytárs erősödött volna meg. A hazai kereskedők pedig nem árusítottak belföldi gyártmányokat, attól tartván, hogy a fogyasztók - őket kihagyva - közvetlenül a gyártótól vásárolnák meg őket.

Az elektrotechnikainál még kedvezőtlenebb helyzetben volt a mechanikai műszergyártás. A műszergyártó cégek száma szaporodott, de versenyképesen csupán a Süss-féle vállalkozás fejlődött. A tömeggyártás hiányában inkább a műszerek javításával foglalkoztak.

A cég 1907-ben újabb állami segélyért folyamodott, de hiába; a versenytársak ismételten meghiúsították a kísérletet, így a cég kénytelen volt a tőkehiány finanszírozására a Pesti Magyar Kereskedelmi Bank hitelét felvenni.

Az Aradi utcai földszintes épületet kinőtték, a termelés egyre bővült. Megvették a Budapest XIII. kerület Bulcsú utca 7. szám alatti telket, ahova 1908. május 1-jén átköltöztek. Az állami segélyért folytatott kitartó küzdelem végre, 1911-ben sikerrel zárult. A Bulcsú utcai üzem megindulásának napjától 5 évre, a cég 80 000 korona segélyben részesült.

A fellendülés
Marx Ferenc a kereskedelmi ügyleteket irányította. A gyártás, a szerkesztés és a laboratórium vezetése Mérei Emil feladata volt. A legtöbb munkát az iskolaszezon végén kapták. A fizikai és kémiai tanszerek gyártása, és javítása egyre nagyobb súlyt képviselt a különféle hőtechnikai műszerek mellett. Speciális műszerekkel látták el a selyemfonodákat, a MÁV mozdonyokat, a Ganz-féle hadihajókat stb. Foglalkoztak továbbá vetítőgépek és tartozékaik, fényképészeti eszközök, diavetítők, szikrainduktorok, röntgenkészülékek, kapcsolótáblák, Hertz-, Tesla-, Marconi-féle készülékek stb. előállításával.

A Marx és Mérei már az első világháború előtt sorra adta ki gyártmányismertetőit. Neve egyre ismertebb lett. Sikereire vall, hogy 1901-ben a kecskeméti kiállítás bronzérmét, az 1903. évi Országos Segéd- és Tanonckiállítás 3 arany, 4 ezüst, 8 bronzérmét, valamint az Országos Iparegyesület bronzérmét nyerte el. A későbbiekben még többet is.

A mérőműszergyártás fellendülése
Az első világháború után új alapokra helyezték a termelést. Az elektromosság terjedésével felmerült igényre, 1918-ban bevezették az elektromos mérőműszerek gyártását. A cég "vegyeskereskedés" jellege nem szűnt meg. 1920-tól gyártottak epidiaszkópokat, mozgóképes vetítőgépeket, az 1930-as években az idegen nyelvű hangosfilmekhez magyar feliratnyomó gépeket. Külföldi licencek alapján színpadi világítóberendezéseket, reflektorokat készítettek. Az első felhő- és hullámvetítőket a Nemzeti Színházban ők szerelték fel.

Bár a Marx és Mérei cég 0,5% osztálypontosságú műszerei jó hírnévnek örvendhettek, nem vehették fel a versenyt az EIC termékeivel, de az EKA műszaki színvonalát meghaladták. 1925-től beindult a repülőműszerek gyártása. 1942-ben a vállalaton belül két nagy egységet hoztak létre. A repülőműszergyárban csak "keresztény" alkalmazottakat és munkásokat foglalkoztattak, míg a másik részleg a hagyományos profilt gyártotta. Az új neve: "Marx és Mérei Tudományos-, Elektromos Műszerek és Feszmérők Gyára- Első Magyar Repülőműszergyár" lett. 1943-tól a repülőműszereket előállító gyár, mivel a vezetésben csak a Marx testvérek maradtak, felvette a "Marx és Marx Első Magyar Repülőműszergyár" nevet.

A vállalat 1930-tól a magyar légierő részére nagy mennyiségben szállított műszereket, ellenőrző és hitelesítő berendezéseket. A gyárépületre 1941-ben felhúztak egy emeletet. A gyár élére hadiüzemi személyzeti parancsnok került.

A vállalat bekapcsolódott a Messerschmidt-programba. Alvállalkozóként a Weiss Manfréd gyár részére Bf 109 és Me 210 típusú repülőkhöz 1100 db műszerkészletet (fordulatszámmérő, olajhőmérő, víztávhőmérő, benzin-, olajnyomás- és szívótérnyomásmérő, légcsavarállásjelző, sebességmérő, magasságmérő, variométer, pilótairánytű, elfordulásjelző horizont) szállítottak. Megszerezték egyes német műszerek utángyártási jogát is. A megnövekedett termeléshez a Bulcsú utcai részleget bővítették, és két műszakos gyártást vezettek be. Mivel a HM újabb szállításokat követelt a Messerschmidt-programon kívül, és a gyárat a lövegműszergyártásba is bekapcsolták, további bővítés volt szükséges. 2,4 millió pengő kölcsönért folyamodtak, megvásárolták a XIII. kerület Szekszárdi út 19-25. szám alatti, egyemeletes "Lőwi Rudolf Mechanikai Szövőgyár Rt."-t. Ott helyezték el az alkatrészgyártást, felületkezelést, irodákat, raktárakat, nyersanyagokat, előszerelést.

Területi elosztás

A gyár vezetői a Szekszárdi úton kívánták összevonni a szétszórt telepeket, és további 3000 m² építését tervezték. A munkaszervezési nehézségeket látva a HM nem járult hozzá az új gyár felépítéséhez.

A háború alatt és után
A feszített programot a gyár nem tudta végrehajtani. A Messerschmittgyártás 1943–1944-ben már 500-500 darab komplett műszerkészletre tartott igényt, miközben a munkáslétszám stagnált. A Messerschmitt-programon felül a cégnek  darab különféle típusú repülőműszert kellett volna szállítania, ezen felül a javításokat is ellátni.

A Bulcsú utcai és Szekszárdi úti bővítést a frontvonal közeledése hiúsította meg. A gépparkot leszerelték és a Nógrád megyei Nőtincs, és Szendehely községekbe telepítették ki. Szendehelyen üzlethelyiségeket alakítottak át, barakkokat építettek, míg Nőtincsen a kastélyban helyezték el a gépeket. A Nőtincsi telepet Szany községbe akarták áttelepíteni, de a HM 1944. november 8-i nyílt parancsára uszályokon az ausztriai Obermühlbe akarták szállítani, azonban az uszály Nógrádverőcénél elsüllyedt.

A vállalat üresen álló helyiségeit az Elhagyott Javak Kormánybiztossága vette gondozásba. Élére kormánybiztost neveztek ki. 1946 közepén a dolgozóknak egy kis kollektívája megalakította a Műszaki Munkaközösség és Értékesítő Szövetkezetet, amit 1948. március 28-án államosítottak.
A szövetkezeti forma 1949. augusztus 1-jéig állt fent, amikor is megalakult a Mechanikai Mérőműszerek Gyára, melyet a Marx testvérek elhagyott gyárában helyeztek el. Ide olvasztották be még a Zoltán Hugó és Társa vállalatot. 1950-ben a Pártos és Társa Feszmérőgyár feszmérő és hőmérő üzemét, a Gamma N.V. mérőszalag gyárát és több kisebb céget vontak össze. 1953-ban felvette a Közlekedési Mérőműszerek Gyára nevet.

The digital marketing business is not a one-size-fits-all. As a business owner, you have to realise that you need to be meticulous when it comes to choosing the right digital marketing agency for your needs and goals. Here are some tips for choosing a company specialising in Internet marketing in Singapore.
Before hiring a digital marketing agency, make sure that you have already decided on what you need regarding your online presence. Do you need to increase your followers on your social media accounts? Do you want to have better write-ups and content on your website? Or do you want to be highly visible on search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing?
Knowing what you need and want will make it easier for you to find the right digital marketing agency, so make sure to deal with this first before anything else.
Not all digital marketing agencies are created equally. While some may specialise in catering to sportswear companies, some may be good at working with business-to-business companies.
Know their strengths and ask if they have catered to a company similar to yours before. If they specialise in a concept similar to yours, then that is great, as that means that they already know how to work around your business.
The best thing that you can do is to ask for some of the work that they have done. You can also check out their current work and see if it is highly visible online and if their social media updates and pages are up to par. Check their posts out and see if this would be the type of marketing that you would be interested in.
Do not be afraid to ask and interview the companies that you are looking at. You only want the best for your business, so make sure to work on that right away.

June has been HOT. I didn't spend too much time birding, especially not in the second half of the month.
Nevertheless, the species count far exceeded last June and I made considerable progress toward my goal of 200 species for the year in Essex County. I am now at 188.
I found seven year birds and three lifers. The lifers were White-rumped Sandpiper, American White Pelican, and Yellow-billed Cuckoo.
American Birding Podcast – Run by the ABA (American Birding Association) and the host is Nate Swick. I find the recent ABA rarities segment most fascinating, though the show is consistently very good. In my opinion, this is the best longer show available.
Ray Brown's Talkin' Birds – More on the "traditional radio show" side of things with little variation in outline, but a good staple.
WCAI Weekly Bird Report – Short segments that are regional in nature (Cape Code, MA), but tend to be widely interesting to birders. I love their emphasis on migration. In my opinion, this is the best short show available.
BirdNote – Very short segments about birds and conservation. Enjoyable, though hard to keep up with (a show a day)!
May is a special time of year for birders. Spring migration season is exciting and fast paced in a way which Fall migration is not.
This time around, there were some disappointing misses. I was never at Pelee during a true warbler "fallout". I missed the two Cuckoo species and a number of warbler species I was hoping to find. My shorebird counts were dismal. The Essex lagoons were lacking mudflats, and consequently the shorebird turnout there was very sparse. These gripes notwithstanding, this was a fantastic May. I saw 137 species this month (last May it was 97) and 9 lifers. Now my Essex County year total is at 181, only 19 species away from my goal!
Two Snowy Owls in the town of Essex were still showing at the beginning of the month. Imagine that! May Snowy Owl sightings within five minutes of my house!!! A year ago, I would have never guessed! I hope to add one to my June list, but who knows?
I had some fantastic warbler hauls at various "lesser" migration hotspots such as Sadler's Pond and Malden Park. As usual during Spring migration, on a good day these smaller hotspots were superb in warbler diversity.
I ended up getting out to Point Pelee twice. The first time was an active day a little too early in the season. The second day was a slow day a little too late in the season. Neither day lived up to Point Pelee's potential. However, a slow day in May at Pelee, is quite active! A major highlight was getting to bird with some excellent local birders including Jeremy Bensette, Tim Arthur, Jeremy Hatt, and Rick Mayos. You learn so much by birding with these fine folks!
Reach 200 species on my Essex County life-list. This was completed on January 31, with a Great Horned Owl. I'm currently at 210 life birds for Essex County.
Reach 200 species for the year in Essex County (I'm at 148 species–74% of the way there. See the note at the end of this post).
Today is May the 4th and I'm currently at 148 species for the year in Essex County.
I had a great outing at Point Pelee and Hillman Marsh recently, with 65 species in total (over 20 FOY and 3 lifers). This morning, I was able to get a couple more FOY birds at Sadler's Pond in Essex (Warbling Vireo and Chestnut-sided Warbler).
I have 52 species left to reach 200 for the year in Essex County (74% of the way there!). The goal seems much more attainable now. Here are 52 species I'm going to try to get in the remainder of the year (in order of eBird frequency). The ones which are lifers are marked with a (*).
The migrants were a bit slow coming in this April, just like the warm weather.
Nevertheless, I brought my Essex County year species total to 117, which is 7 ahead of last year's count. I'm starting to feel pretty good about my chances of reaching 200 this year.
A lifer Vesper Sparrow in Ojibway's Tallgrass Prairie.
Lifer Wilson's Snipes at the Essex Lagoons while birding with Jeremy B.
The continuing Snowy Owls in Essex. They could be still here in MAY!!
I spent a few days in Indiana for a friend's wedding, and I did do a bit of birding there, though the species I saw there obviously don't count for my Essex County totals. I was able to find 2 lifers as well as 9 FOY species. The two lifers were: a Louisiana Waterthrush and Yellow-throated Warbler (which I was very happy to get, since Yellow-throated Warblers are hard to find in Essex County–none were found last year). The FOY birds were: Wood Thrush, Bobolink, Osprey, Broad-winged Hawk, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Carolina Chickadee, Sandhill Crane, and Pileated Woodpecker.
May is upon us. Good birding to you!
This year I have passed the 100 species mark yesterday (April 13th), which is one day ahead of last year's time.
I saw 71 bird species in March. My current year tally is 91 species, a bit short of my goal of reaching 100 by the end of March. That said, I'm 8 species ahead of where I was last year at this time.
On March 3, I dropped by Hillman Marsh and Point Pelee with my son and was able to add Green-winged Teal and Sharp-shinned hawk to my year list. On March 7, a night drive through the vicinity of Harrow after helping a friend move allowed me to hear and very briefly see an American Woodcock.
A local birder's gathering on March 15th which brought me to Point Pelee, Hillman Marsh, and Wheatley Harbour. On the trip there I saw my first Turkey Vultures of the year. I *might* have seen a Northern Shrike, the view was too fleeting to be sure, but it seems to have been very near to the location of a recent sighting.
At Point Pelee, I saw my only lifer of the month (White-winged scoter), a King Eider (!), and Surf Scoters. I still need to find a Black Scoter one of these days! At Hillman, I added Great Egret and Rusty Blackbird to my year list.
Then, on March 21st, I stopped by the CKWW towers and got a photo of an Eastern Meadowlark. What a treat!
To conclude March, on the 28th I found some Bonaparte's Gulls and Ruddy Ducks.
I will continue looking for rather common birds that have thus far evaded me this year: Eastern Screech Owl, Double-Crested Cormorant, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Sandhill Crane, and Horned Grebe. I must say that I'm also looking forward to the return of the Swallows! I'm thinking I might have to give up on seeing a Cackling Goose until next winter.

The common explanation of the Little surname was that it originally was a nickname describing a little man. Alternatively, it might signify the younger of two men bearing the same name. Little has its surname counterparts as Klein in Germany and Petit in France.
However, many with the name of Little originated from the Scottish border clan of Little. The early spelling seems to have been Lidil or Litil. The meaning here is unclear.
Clan Little Society Little clan history.
Little Families of Ireland Littles in Fermanagh.
The Little Family Littles from Scotland to New Jersey.
Little DNA Project Little DNA.
Scotland. Little surname origins in Scotland may have been English. The name then appeared at the time of William Wallace in the late 1200's. Soon afterwards the Littles were to be found in Dumfriesshire on the Scottish borders. In 1426 Simon Little became the first Laird of Meikledale.
Border Reivers. For three centuries the Littles shared with the Armstrongs and Beatties the steep-sided dales immediately to the north and west of the present town of Langholm at the extreme east end of Dumfriesshire. These clans thrived during the lawless times of the 1500's on the Scottish borders. One source of income was sheep. Another source was stealing horses, from the English or wherever they could find them.
In 1603 King James of Scotland and England was determined to put down this lawlessness. His wish was carried through with sword, noose and torch. Chiefs were hanged and those who survived were forced to quit their lands.
David Little was to be the last Laird of Meikledale. He was given work as a groom at Windsor castle and his line died out a century later.
Elsewhere. The Littles of Liberton in Edinburgh, burgess merchants, were a branch of the border clan that dated from around 1500. Clement Little was a founder of the University of Edinburgh Library in 1580. His son William Little was twice Provost of Edinburgh. These Littles later became Little Gilmour.
The Border Littles had begun to scatter in the early 17th century, fleeing from persecution, poverty and overcrowding. They crossed the English border into Cumberland and to the Ulster plantations. Littles in both Cumberland and Ulster now outnumber those in Dumfriesshire.
England. The English county of Cumberland was a natural settling point for Border Littles, the town of Carlisle being only twenty miles south of the Scottish western Marches. Littles found work there as cloth dryers.
William Little, born in 1676 and a tenant farmer in Stapleton parish, seems to have been the ancestor of many Littles, both in England and in America (a descendant Thomas Little departed for South Carolina in 1806).
There were Littles, probably unrelated, in SW England. William Little and his son George were merchants in Dorchester, Dorset in the 1630's. Thomas Little departed Devon for Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1631. John Little of Corsham in Wiltshire was transported to Barbados in 1657. Other Littles in Wiltshire included John Little who married Margaret Wait in Corsham in 1761 and Joseph Little who married Mary Jones in Trowbridge in 1790.
Ireland. Little is a name found in Ulster. Interestingly the largest numbers in Griffith's Valuation of the mid-19th century were in the inland counties of Fermanagh and Tyrone. Fermanagh was where many Armstrongs had migrated and Littles had followed them there.
Robert and Jane Little had four children born in Enniskillen between 1676 and 1682. They had descendants at Aghalurcher and elsewhere in Fermanagh. Meanwhile a Little family had been leasing land at Pubble township near Enniskillen from 1744. Archibald Little of this family married Isabella Potters around 1788 and they later emigrated to America. Francis Little was born near Clones in Fermanagh in the late 1700's.
The Gaelic surname O'Beagain was derived from beag meaning "small" or "little." This sometime got anglicized as Little in Munster.
America. The first Littles in America were English.
George was a Navy officer who was captured by the British, imprisoned, but later escaped. His capture of a French vessel in 1800 caused controversy.
while Nathaniel served on land as a captain during the Revolutionary War. He later made his home in Ohio.
Another English arrival, from London, was George Little who came to Newbury, Massachusetts in 1640. His descendants included Colonel Moses Little and Colonel Joshua Little, remarkable men of vigor at the time of the Revolutionary War, and Charles Coffin Little, born in Maine, who co-founded the publishing company of Little Brown & Co in 1837. George Little's 1877 book Descendants of George Little covered this line.
Scottish. According to family legend (although unproven), John Little was born about 1675 in Scotland and came to what was then East Jersey sometime in the early 1700's. He was the forebear of a notable New Jersey family based in Monmouth county. He and his son John were both sitting Judges on the Court of Common Pleas in the county. Interestingly, these Littles of Scottish extraction all married Dutch women between the years 1735 and 1820.
The Littles were Patriots during the Revolutionary War and suffered brutality from the British as a result. After the war one son Thomas became a member of the New Jersey legislature. Another son Theophilus purchased several thousand acres of land in Pennsylvania in an area that was to become Sullivan county. His family moved there in stages between 1803 and 1813. His son Thomas, known as Squire Little, moved to Ohio in 1815 and there were later Little descendants in Illinois.
Captain George Little from Dumfries arrived in South Carolina and fought in the Revolutionary War. He was severely wounded during the fighting, leaving him a cripple. He died in Kentucky. His son John migrated to Tennessee and then to Texas. William Little, also from Dumfries and also in South Carolina, was killed in 1781 during the Revolutionary War. His son William Joseph Little settled in Georgia, fought in the Creek Indian War, and was a Justice of the Peace in Carroll county.
German. There were also Kleins who became Littles in America. Johann Peter Klein, also known as Peter Little, was the founder of Littlestown in Adams county, Pennsylvania in 1760. Colonel Peter Little was a US Congressman for Maryland in the early 1800's; while Henry Little settled in Frederick county, Maryland.
Another Klein/Little line began with Johann Daniel Klein who became Daniel Little in Rowan county, North Carolina. Pauline Shook's 1994 book was entitled Captain Daniel Little and His Contemporaries. Daniel's descendants started a family organization at their reunion in Hickory, North Carolina in 1978.
Caribbean. George and Matthew Little left Dumfriesshire for Jamaica in the early 1800's. Both died young there in their twenties within a year of each other. But they left descendants.
Australia and New Zealand. Francis Little from Dumfriesshire came out to Australia on a convict ship in 1823. His brother Archibald followed him two years later. They were early settlers in Hunter Valley, NSW. Archibald later returned to Britain. Francis stayed. On his death in 1860 his Invermian estate reverted to his eldest son William who held it for another seventeen years.
James Little was a shepherd in Midlothian who came to New Zealand in the 1860's. He worked initially as a shepherd at the Corriedale station in Otago, SI before leasing land in North Canterbury. There he became a successful sheep breeder.
Simon Little, the Laird of of Meikledale in 1426, is considered the first chief of the Scottish border Little clan.
Frank Little was an American labor union leader of the early 1900's who was murdered by his opponents in 1917.
Arthur D. Little founded the chemical engineering consulting company of Arthur D. Little in Boston in 1909.
His nephew Royal Little, the founder of Textron, is generally considered as the father of conglomerates.
Malcolm Little, better known as Malcolm X, was an African American Muslim minister and human rights activist who was assassinated in 1965.
Tasmin Little is a highly acclaimed English classical violinist.


Now that Google Fi is available for iPhone and a wider range of Android devices, the fact that it allows use of your high speed data internationally at no additional charge may cause me to switch. I use between 1-2GB/month on T-Mobile. Google Fi would cost me only $30-40/month and I could use my data anywhere I travel.
So far as I can tell, T-Mobile has no plans that compete. Any option for using your T-Mobile data internationally are at 2G speeds.
I hope T-Mobile offers a comparable option before I take my next trip out of the country. I don't particularly want to switch to Fi, but it would be ideal for me.
As I recall, Fi piggybacks on T-Mobile's international roaming at 2G speeds (e.g. 128 kbps) except where "3" service is available. When connected to "3" a Fi phone has full speed. All data, domestic or roaming, is charged at Fi's standard data rates.
T-Mobile includes throttled roaming data at no additional cost. You can buy international passes for "3G speed" (512 kbps). Which is also on the ONE Plus upgrade.
We had Project Fi on one of our phones and it worked pretty well. It had domestic coverage in places T-Mobile didn't but I always had to check to make sure I was using available WiFi and had all the data saving features turned on to avoid high bills. We only left Fi to put that phone on the 55+ plan before the rate went up.
Google Fi almost always offers the fastest data speeds available while abroad. If a region has 4G LTE service, you'll get LTE speeds.
With T-Mobile ONE, you will get 2G (128kbps), and with ONE Plus (+$15/line/mo), you will get 128 x 2 = 256kbps. To me, even 256kbps is not enough for IG, FB, applications with videos/pictures like CNN or navigation like Waze. I missed the big promotion from Google Fi since I was traveling abroad. I plan to switch to Google Fi next time when they have another big promotion.

Lenders usually suggest that people seek residences that cost no more than three to 5 times their annual home revenue if the house purchasers prepare making a 20% down payment and have a moderate amount of various other financial debt.
The very first alternative many people check out when looking for a house mortgage financing with poor credit history is commonly the "subprime mortgage". This kind of financing is structured very in a similar way to conventional home loans, but often had higher rate of interest compared to others. The reason for this is that subprime home loan lenders are taking on a bigger quantity of danger by lending loan to a person with inadequate credit scores than they would certainly with a customer with good credit scores. That danger is offset by greater rate of interest. The vital point to look into when taking into consideration a subprime financing is the fines and terms. Things like flexible rates and also balloon payments could be difficult to manage if you're not expecting them, so constantly review the small print.

In order to start this procedure, you must initially determine which spouse is going to remain in the property. The individual that is going to stay in the house is mosting likely to have to buyout the equity of the other spouse. In some cases, the married couple will certainly have the ability to choose that is mosting likely to stay in your house. In a lot of cases, the judge in the divorce court will certainly have to choose.
Immediately after the house strikes the marketplace, there need to go to least a couple of consultations for provings. It might indicate that local brokers believe the home is overpriced and also therefore typically aren't revealing it to their clients if there typically aren't. Realtors suggest that after a month, if there is extremely limited rate of interest in the house, it's not far too late to lower the price, yet it is necessary to act rapidly in order to maintain some rate of interest.
Ways to learn whether the foreclosure is nonjudicial or judicial. One means to find out which kind of foreclosure process the lending institution is using is to go to www.zillow.com. Youll initially should enroll in a totally free account as well as log in, otherwise you wont have the ability to view every one of the foreclosure information. Discover the house by going into the address in the search box. This pulls up a map of the area. Then click on the homes address, which is a link to its website. Scroll around one-third of the means down and also click Even more repossession details. This will inform you if the repossession is judicial or nonjudical. (If you intend to call someone to obtain information regarding the repossession, you can usually discover the name and also contact number of the foreclosure trustee or lawyer on this display as well.).
What To Deal On A Residence Rate In many cases vendors will aim to feed bidding wars between many interested events. Just you could determine precisely just how competitive you wish to obtain with the home-buying treatment. If your competitive nature takes control of and also you select get involved in a bidding battle, remember that commonly vendors overemphasize the degree of rate of interest from other possible purchasers or make use of numerous other methods in an effort to boost the retail price.
However, in a warm market-- or perhaps in a warm neighborhood in the middle of a cold market (they do exist)-- the market price might be simply a beginning point, and you'll be expected to offer a higher price if you intend to vanquish the competition. Underbidding in such a circumstance would certainly be a full waste of your (and also your real estate agent's) time, as well as the seller would be unlikely to earn you a counteroffer.

Can Hair Transplantation Be Done Without Scars?
You're definitely interested in undergoing hair transplantation, but there's just one thing holding you back – the possibility of visible surgical scars.
It's no wonder surgical scars are a cause for concern. The whole point of hair transplantation is to achieve thicker, more natural-looking hair. Surgical scars certainly make it difficult for you to achieve that outcome!
Fortunately, there's a type of hair restoration surgery that won't leave any linear surgical scars behind, so your secret is safe: FUE NeoGraft Hair Transplantation.
FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction, which is a type of hair transplantation method that extracts hair follicles from the back of the scalp and quickly places them along the natural hairline. FUE NeoGraft uses a specific piece of technology that quickly harvests these follicles, thus eliminating the need for scar-inducing scalpels and stitches. This same technology is used to place the hair follicles on the hairline to ensure you're getting the most natural results possible.
Throughout the entire process, there's no need for incisions or stitches, so there's absolutely no linear scarring. Once the donor hair follicles are in place, they'll stay there for about three weeks before falling out. But don't worry – your new hair will grow back in just three to four months later. You'll then have a full head of hair again. Wash it, shampoo it, swim with it – you can do everything you did with your original hair!
To learn more about FUE Hair Transplantation – including the absence of a linear scar – schedule a consultation with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rudy Coscia at his new plastic surgery practice in Granite Bay, CA. Dr. Coscia's practice also serves the greater Roseville and Sacramento metro areas. Granite Bay 916-773-5559 & Sacramento 916-929-1833.

Bitcoin will drop 25% coming days?
This is one scary picture, i know, but even if it comes true it's nothing special, only 25% correction. Nothing Bitcoin could ot overcome within 2 days again :).
This picture confirmes what i had mentioned in my previous 2 analysis on Bitcoin , the moves are getting bigger and faster. That is normally what should happen in a wedge . Desperate moves, up and down, with lower volume!.
Normally it should drop downwards and most times it makes a retrace back to the former support zone , but the Bitcoin usually makes a retraces that gets to high, like in this chart. No guarnatee ofcourse, but i give that option 75% chance, because there is still a lot of greed in this market.
The target of this pattern is about 9000. Depending on how strong the corrections up will be, i will maybe adjust that target.
Before dropping under that support line, it could stay in this channel en make a higher high, trying to break the 12.000. So this trade, for me, will be with a smaller ammount than normal because my target is about 2.500 points, but my stop will be about 400/500 points higher. I will probably add when it drops below 11.500. Under 11.200 i see the first big support. Under this level i will add again. But if it gets here i will put my stop lower while i increase my position. So the risks don't get higher than the initial trade.
Bitcoin has already had many surprises up it's sleeve this year, so always be aware adjust when needed!
评论: There is just no volume at all, no real buying, and no real selling here. It gets sold a 100 points or so, but than with the smallest buy orders it goes sideways again. Accordig to the pattern, it seems like a distribution phase (on a smaller timer frame). The bigger volumes on the small time frame are almost all selling volume. I see a few normal buy orders. Every half our you see a few buy orders of 5+ BTC, the rest are all small orders. The sell orders i see much more often 5+ BTC orders.
This looks like a distribution fase, where smart money is trying to get out for the highest prices without pushing the market down to soon. Because of all the (relative) small buy orders, it seems like the average Joe is getting into this "free money without limit" market. As long as this buying keeps coming, it won't make a big drop.
As long as there will be buyers who are prepared to pay the highest prices, they will do this dance over and over again! Because exactly this is free money for the 'smart money'in this market.
Think about all the big corrections the last few months, followed by an extreme up spike. Not giving the average Joe a real chance to even get into this market for a good price, and probably pushing most out of it who are using leverage.
Untill the CME Future market enters this world, than even the crypto believers will also start to learn what smart money is. Because these markets will get manipulated even more. The bigger this market gets, the more difficult it can be controlled, so therefore i don't think prices of 100K what some people believe in, will ever be seen.
评论: This was something remarkable, for almost 20 minutes on Bitfinex, there was a fight going on at excactley 11.650. All of a sudden there were some bigger orders getting in. Several times there was a sell order of 100 BTC in the sell, like when it did not get any support (follow through) it would dissapear again. several times. After almost 15 min, when the sellers were loosing, because it was getting bought with some volume, even a 50BTC buy order, It was like they gave up.
And than all of a sudden, after a minute or so, there was a big sell order on Bitstamp pushing it down 100 points at once. It went up almost just as fast.
But i got this feeling, like someone was trying to push the market down, it did not work on Bitfinex, so after 15 min they gave up, and within a minute they tried to do it on Bitstamp. It could all be a coincidence ofcourse, but i dont think so. I am wachting the orders books more closely lately, because i want to see if there's some sort of pattern at certain times.
评论: And that was loosing trade. There is just still so much greed in this market, unbelieveble. But it is as it is. For now it's impossible to predict what it will do. I am going to wait for new info and stay out of this market for at least a day.
评论: Getting out again at 13875.
Difference between Bitstamp and Bitfnex is more than 200 points. Weakness or strenght?
Above 14K espect at least 14.500. But buying volume has decreased very hard the last hour. Sign of weakness. I think buyers are waiting for another drop to buy in hard again!
评论: What a rollercoaster, insanity! On Bitmex price got to almost 17.800. Just says enough, people are getting absolutely mad now!
15.800 is an important support now!
评论: I just knew it, they would just spike the hell out of it again. Thats why putting in an order before is important with these crypto's! And it bounced right from that green area :). I did not go long (unfortunately). Just moves to fast.
This is the even bigger H&S i was talking about, I dont know if it will happen, but i will trade on it. I will enter it between 15.200 and 15.600!.
I hope so for you, but please be a bit more realistic. If you have 100K, 500K or much much more, you would really just ride it out? There are enough poeple with not only a few hundred of thousand dollars in this market. These big drops it can make, are very scary to just sit on your hands an do nothing if you have a big position. As for now, it looks very strong and nothing can stop it. This market will get manipulated (even more), only question is when.
@botje11, i was pretty damn realistic, right?
