After my last post I acquired a couple more dress forms and decided to do two things. First was to use Suzy Furrer's method of drafting a moulage for different shapes. Second was to try using those moulages on non-professional forms and post a review. Although a professional form is a very nice addition to your sewing tools, it can be pricey and you may have an older form and not have the space or funds for another.
The good thing is that this is a one-time purchase. You need to select a dress form based on your bone structure, NOT your bust measurement. I have found the most accurate way to do this is to compare your cross-front width to the form. PGM publishes this on their website: pgmdressform.com. If buying a form from EBay or Craig's list, ask the seller to give you this dimension. Also check the shoulder length and cross back width. Your form should fit you at the shoulders and neck. Anything else can be padded. If you start with form that's too big in the shoulders, you'll never be able to get an accurate fit. Compare your shoulder, cross front and cross back measurements with any form you are considering. Get as close as you can with these three dimensions and fix the rest with padding. The padding can always be redone if you lose or gain significant amounts of weight, but your bone structure won't change. The most common mistake seems to be getting too large a form.
There are many companies who make professional dress forms and I'll list some of them here.
Wolf has always been the gold standard of dress forms. They are made by hand and last more than a lifetime. They are also the most expensive. Pricing depends on the options you select and Wolf forms can be over $1000. Occasionally one shows up on EBay or Craig's list but they usually aren't any bargain.
PGM sells online at pgmdressform.com. They offer three options: collapsible shoulder and shaped hip for $399, collapsible shoulder with flat hip for $299, non-collapsible shoulder and flat hip for $199. You can always create your own hip shaping with pads but the shaping is nice to have a place to start. Collapsible shoulders make it easier to get garments on and off the form. The main drawback I found is that the wire cage at the bottom isn't as nicely finished as the Wolf form, and can snag delicate fabrics. You can cover the cage with muslin if this is a problem.
Roxy also sells online at roxydisplay.com. I have no experience with this company. One review I read rates them below PGM but better than the adjustable with dials. Foxy has forms with collapsible shoulders for $249.
Fabulous fit sells a molded foam version for $387 and a professional model which looks like the ones at PGM and Roxy. The professional model sells for $887. They also offer a kit of fitting pads for the bust, shoulders, hips, thigh, etc. You can purchase this separately. I found the molded foam version at a garage sale for $25. I wouldn't suggest these. There are better forms for less money.
Least desirable in my opinion are the forms which feature dials that allow you to adjust the bust, waist and hip. The base is lightweight and they tip easily; very frustrating when you are trying to pin or adjust a garment. The dials leave spaces which can be annoying to work around. I did cover one just to try and make it somewhat usable.
Now for the moulage review. I made three moulages for totally different figures and each one fit almost perfectly on the first try. I found learning to take accurate body measurements the hardest part. My three drafts looked entirely different but each fit amazingly well.
Once you have your chosen form, draft and sew the moulage. I left the center front seam open when fitting myself and the center back open for fitting others. When you are happy with the fit, sew a final version in whatever fabric you choose for the cover. I would advise a medium weight cotton or linen. A natural fiber fabric will mold to the form easier than a synthetic. You want to be able to pull the cover tightly over the form so a knit is not suitable.
Here is my Fabulous Fit form ready to begin.
I used cardboard to add 5 inches to the length. She also needed minor surgery at the back armhole and a slight breast reduction. This was accomplished with a kitchen bread knife. Bra cups were stuffed and positioned on the form with pins. Since the neck was rough I draped a pattern to cover the neck and sewed it to the moulage before starting to pad.
Notice the side seams are 3/4 inch wide and have been stay stitched. This makes it easier to turn and sew the sides evenly. The moulage is sewn together at the shoulders and armhole facings attached to neatly finish the armseyes. The side seams are left open. Also note the position of the armhole on the form and on the moulage. The form positions the arm angled backwards. The moulage reflects a more normal arm position.
Start fitting the cover and padding at the top. Notice how the shoulders fit well but padding is needed to fill out the remainder of the cover. After the shoulders are fitted, position and pad the bust. You can use bra cups or a bra that fits well and you are willing to sacrifice it. Fabulous Fit also offers a kit of fitting pads but I did just as well using bra cups and shoulder pads.
Continue to work your way down the form. I used a combination of shoulder pads, fusible fleece, heavy felt; just about anything you have on hand will work. Do frequent checks to be sure you are getting the desired shape. Pin in place and remove the pins as you add subsequent layers. I also used a steam iron to compress the padding as I worked.
I used two large shoulder pads to establish the bumm shape and refined it with upholstery batting. I also added a layer of upholstery batting as the final layer. Upholstery batting feathers easily and covers the irregularities. Take your time. It can take a few redos to get the shaping right but you will do this once and have your double for years.
Once she is stuffed pin the sides together and do a final check that you are happy with the fit. Leave one side pinned while you sew the other side seam; otherwise the cover will shift. Fold the side seam allowances in and mark every inch to help keep the front and back aligned as you hand sew. I started at the waist seam and marked up and down from there. If you don't put these guide points in and just start sewing you will wind up way off when you reach the end of the seam. Guess how I found that out?
I find it easiest to start at the bottom and sew up. Use a 36 to 40 inch length of upholstery thread. You want enough to finish the seam but not so much the thread knots and is too long to work with. Why not just use a center back seam? First I found the padding shifted around too much when I tried to get a back seamed cover on and off. Also you need the side seams raised so they can be felt when you use this form for fitting and draping. Look at the professional forms. They are all finished like this.
Insert the needle about 1/8 inch from the folded edges keeping the needle parallel to the floor. Pull the thread tight (you want this seam raised) and place the next stitch about 3/8 inch away. I sew with my right hand and hold the thread taut with my left. You may need a clip or two at the waistline.
Finished! All she needs now is a heavy steaming to shrink the cover slightly.
This custom cover was done on an adjustable form with dials. The figure was petite with a small bust. The moulage draft fit on the first try with one minor adjustment to shorten the front waist.
Another draft for a fuller figure with large bust and abdomen. Once again the moulage instructions produced a perfectly fitting mold.
If you want to make fitting much easier, invest some time to create your own double. I've done a few now and it still takes time but what a difference when I'm fitting garments!

PLEASE NOTE: THERE WILL BE NO PUBLIC POLICY & BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING IN MARCH.
Florida lawmakers have reached an agreement on an $87 billion budget, leaders for the House and Senate said Wednesday afternoon.
Florida recovery from Hurricane Irma continues to progress six months later due to private and public partnerships—and the hard work of survivors.
Private entities and different levels of government have joined together to advance recovery many ways. Accomplishments include cleaning up, creating solutions to keep displaced survivors near home, developing recovery plans with communities and advancing financial help so Floridians could start repairing and rebuilding.
Much has been accomplished but the recovery partnership will continue working together for the long haul.
Coalition of Tampa Bay leaders taking $20 million transit ask to Washington, D.C.

Tech Data Corp. posted a record $36.8 billion in sales in its just-ended fiscal year, a 40 percent increase from a year earlier.
The gain elevated Tech Data (NASDAQ: TECD) to the No. 1 spot among Florida public companies based on revenue.
Tech Data also surged past Publix Super Markets Inc., the Lakeland-based grocery that had $34.8 billion in total revenue in 2017 and has been the longtime largest company in Tampa Bay.
While Atlanta is considered a favorite — if a bit less so in recent weeks — to land Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN) $5 billion HQ2, the city might be a long-shot in the Apple campus horserace.
Apple Inc . (NASDAQ: AAPL), in January announced plans for a new U.S. campus as part of a broader plan to create 20,000 jobs in the U.S. The new campus, part of a planned $30 billion in capital expenditure over the next five years, will initially house customer tech support employees.
That positions Atlanta — the Bangalore of the U.S. — as a contender.
Bloomberg, however, doesn't think so .
Based on factors, such as human capital, tax incentives, transportation, existing Apple offices and data center, the company "seems likely to choose among northeastern states such as Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and upstate New York; North Carolina and Florida in the Southeast; and Midwestern states like Illinois and Wisconsin," Bloomberg noted in a joint analysis with Moody Analytics.

My reasons for buying this device are so that I can measure airborne particulate matter at home and at work. So I can answer the questions how dusty my environment is at home and at work.
Apart from the PMS5003 which I ordered as a kit from adafruit, I also used a serial to USB converter in the form of an FT232H breakout board.
Both boards were pushed into a solder less breakout board and connected with some jumper wires. I wired both the transmit and receive lines of the PMS5003, for reasons that shall become apparent later.
To use the sensor I had to read the manual but also look at e.g. the adafruit sample code because some points were not completely clear to me from the documentation. In the process I made some annotations in the manual. Since there don't seem to be restrictions to modifications and redistribution of that manual, I've made my annotated version available.
The FT232H chip is supported in FreeBSD by the uftdi(4) driver. It is visible as a tty device, /dev/cuaU*. In Python I use the pyserial library to communicate with this board.
For these kinds of things, Python 3 is my default language. It might be doable as a shell script, but that would be more complicated then I'd like. Writing it in C would definitely be overkill.
As usual, the script that I wrote for data-logging is available on github. It is pretty simple; it reads data from the sensor at specified intervals, and writes these to a log file as plain text. See below for an example and explanation of the format.
The PMS5003 has two modes, active and passive. In active mode in continuously pushes out measurements. This is the default mode when the device starts. Passive mode means that data is only sent out when you send a request for data to the device.
Initially I used active mode. So I only had to connect the transmit line from the sensor to the receive pin of the FT232H. But at least on the sensor I have, this runs into problems. After several hours of operation, the data packets start having checksum errors and the data values change so much as to become unbelievable. This happened several times. The code that I used for these measurements recorded the value every five seconds. When a checksum error occurs, it measures again immediately, because occasionally it was just a single faulty reading. More often the readings would stay garbled.
The first item on each line is the combined date and time in ISO-8601 format. Next are the PM1.0, PM2.5 and PM10 values in μg/m³. The remaining numbers are particle counts per 0.1 dm³ for the particle sizes >0.3 μm, >0.5 μm, >1.0 μm, >2.5 μm, >5 μm and >10 μm.
A hard reset (removing the USB cable) restores the function of the device. I have not tried using the reset pin.
So I changed my program to use passive mode. This means that the sensor only sends data over when you send it a request to do so. In order to do that, I also wired the transmit pin from the FT232H to the receive pin of the PMS5003. I've run this modified program (logging data every five minutes) overnight without issues. So it seems to me that passive mode is more reliable. But it could also be an issue with my particular sensor. Or with the serial driver. One thing I could do is hook the sensor (in active mode) up to my pyboard and see if that produces the same issue. But that, again, will have to wait for a future article.
After leaving the sensor running for around 48 hours, this is what I've measured.
The spike in fine particulates in the evening of the 13th is me cooking dinner. The following day I opened the window for an hour or two. These events correlate nicely with spikes in the amount of PM. In the night from Saturday to Sunday is rained, which seems to have "washed" the particulates out of the air.
For PM 1.0 the average is 15.6 μg/m³, the median is 16 μg/m³ the maximum is 28 μg/m³. For PM2.5 the average is 23.5 μg/m³, the median is 24 μg/m³ the maximum is 42 μg/m³. For PM 10 the average is 26.5 μg/m³, the median is 27 μg/m³ the maximum is 55 μg/m³. On average, there are 21.08 particles 0.3−0.5 μm, 7.02 particles 0.5−1 μm, 1.37 particles 1−2.5 μm, 0.09 particles 2.5−5 μm, 0.02 particles 5.0−10 μm, and 0.01 particles >10 μm in every cm³ of air in my house.
# Every of these columns is particulate matter < X/10 μm in μg/m³.
# Every of these columns is a count of particles > N/10 μm in 0.1 dm³ or air.
As witnessed by the delayed effect of the rain on the PM concentration inside the house, it seems likely that the PM concentration in my house follows that of the outside air due to ventilation. Also of note is that the effects of a disturbance (like cooking, or an open window) fade after a couple of hours.
The particle counts are combined into bins in the graph above. Most of the particles are greater than 0.3 μm and smaller than 2.5 μm.
It is spring here at the moment, so I would expect to find pollen. But the size of pollen grains is generally >6 μm and up to 100 μm. In I don't see much in that size range.

Q: Return not working as expected var Car = function (year, make, model) {
         var printc = "You car is" + this.year + this.make + this.model;
         return printc;
    }
var mycar = new Car(2010, "Hyundai", "Elantra");
console.log(mycar.printc);

Console.log is printing undefined. Why?
My expected output is : You car is 2010 Hyundai Elantra

A: You're returning the value of printc, not assigning it to the Car object. Also, this.year will always be undefined, unless you assign them to the Car object manually.
Try the following:
var Car = function (year, make, model)
{
     this.printc = "You car is" + year + make + model;
}

var mycar = new Car(2010, "Hyundai", "Elantra");

// Correctly returns: You car is2010HyundaiElantra
console.log(mycar.printc);

jsFiddle Demo
Notice that spaces are not preserved, so you may wish to update the printc assignment as follows:
 this.printc = "You car is " + year + ' ' + make + ' ' + model;

A: Alternatively you can use ES6 class:

'use strict';

class Car {
  constructor(year, make, model) {
    this.year = year;
    this.make = make;
    this.model = model;
  }

  printC() {
    return `Your car is ${this.year} ${this.make} ${this.model}`;
  }
}

const myCar = new Car(2010, "Hyundai", "Elantra");
document.write(myCar.printC());

A: var Car = function (year, make, model) {
     var printc = "You car is" + year + make + model;
     return printc;
}

var mycar = Car(2010, "Hyundai", "Elantra");
console.log(mycar);

Quote: "1) To make the person who's submitting something happy, offer feedback visible in their own personal context in under 50-200 milliseconds.

All of us desire to have an extremely smooth and clean finish on our walls, ceilings, doors and windows. It automatically adds beauty and elegance to the exteriors and interiors. In fact, it is one of the cheapest ways to make your home look impressive and attractive. Even though it is just simple layers of color coat or wallpaper application, a good paint job and wallpaper application are defined by many other characteristics. Only a professional painting and wallpaper service provider can add these characteristics to your walls.
If you have ever visited places with dull paints, dull wallpapers and dull lighting, you might have noticed that it becomes difficult to tolerate the environment after a certain while. The atmosphere that surrounds us makes a direct impact on our minds. Since we spend a considerable amount of time at home or office, it is crucial to paint and apply wallpaper in a way such that it leaves us with a fresh, comfortable and a content mind.
More importantly, all of us desire to make a positive impression when guests or potential customers arrive at our place. A perfect situation is where your paint and wallpaper does the job without you having to make any effort. This is easily achievable with marvelous painting and wallpaper application. The following section gives a summary of the mechanics of building painting and wall application.
You cannot simply select a paint color or wallpaper pattern by saying "I want blue" or "I want flower pattern", etc. The same color or pattern style may look different in different settings. For instance, when you see a color and pattern in artificial light or in front angle, it would not look the same in natural light or in other angle . Therefore, paint colors and wallpaper patterns are to be selected with extreme caution and observation as they would usually stay for a few years on your building walls.
While running the brushes and rollers or pasting and applying wallpaper on the walls might sound like the actual job, preparation takes most of the time when painting and apply wallpaper. Many believe that getting a bucket of paint and glue and then putting an over lay on the walls would do the job, but that could lead to numerous finishing quality problems. Therefore, always consult a professional service for a successful painting and wallpaper application job.
While the paint and apply wallpaper job may sound easy. In fact, it is the most difficult part as one has to run the brush or roller in such a way that the consecutive stroke is made before the paint from the previous one dries up. Also, only an experienced guru able to achieve a perfect finish, uniformity and flawless interface for each part of the wallpaper without having underneath air bubbles, sands or dust.

In rare circumstances, a worker won't have write access to any components (for example, when a client worker is bootstrapping itself). In this case, you can send a command from a worker directly instead. The syntax and blueprint nodes for both methods are the same. We don't recommend doing this in any other situation.
Building up ACLs in blueprints is cumbersome. It might be better to build your ACLs in a C++ Blueprint Function library first, and use those functions in your blueprint graph.
Define this method in your header file too. Declare your callback method as a UFunction by using the UFUNCTION() decorator.
Sending a command immediately returns a unique request ID for this command request. This request ID can be used to link up and trace the sent request. If the command request failed to send, the method IsValid of the returned request ID will be false.
//look up the command request using the RequestId returned from the Result.
You can reserve multiple EntityID's in a single command using ReserveEntityIds. If successful, the callback will return an array of FEntityID's.

Q: How can I save my preferred DNS server address in an Azure VM? I've set up a lab of virtual machines on Azure, along with a virtual network and DNS Server/domain controller. I want to shut them down and de-provision them on a regular basis, so I'm not charged when I'm not using them.
Unfortunately, whenever I restart them, the preferred DN server address that I defined on each VM is reset to automatically obtain an address. This requires me to manually adjust these properties on the VMs. It appears that restarting/re-provisioning causes me to get brand new virtual network adapters with default settings. Indeed, the adapter name changes at every restart, e.g., Ethernet 1, Ethernet 2, Ethernet 3, etc.
Is there a better way for me to save this preferred DNS server information, or more easily restore it upon restart?
By the way, I read the answers to a similar post, here, but I'm not sure that I understand the answers provided or if they apply. When it comes to networks, I'm a bit of a newbie. Note that all of the servers in my lab are using the same subnet and cloud service. Perhaps this is part of my problem?

A: Create a Virtual Network, and configure your preferred DNS settings in the VNet configuration.


Triple H will face Batista in a no holds barred match at WrestleMania 35 at MetLife Stadium on April 7 at 7 p.m. ET.
The two have a long-standing feud with over 15 years of tension between them, but they will face off for only the second time in their careers. This time, if Triple H loses, he'll be forced to retire.
After teaming together for years with Evolution, the pair's only other one-on-one meeting came at WrestleMania 21 in 2005 when Batista won the World Heavyweight Championship with a Batista Bomb.
Tensions between the two escalated again in February when at a celebration for Ric Flair's 70th birthday, Batista attacked Flair backstage to get Triple H's attention. Triple H then called out Batista in a March Raw episode, and Batista challenged him to a match but only if Triple H put his career on the line.

It should be difficult to get more small increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be accurate: having small increases is more rewarding than attempting to fight up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to look at publications than wait for order confirmation when you think the cost is going down. Second, there's more unpredictability and reward in monies that haven't made it to the profitableness of sites like Coinwarz.
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to explore possibilities for making gigantic ammonts of money with various kinds of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin structure provides an informative example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an outstanding intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it has created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and miss out on quite successful business models made accessible because of the growing use of blockchain technology.
technology due to the many benefits associated with it. That is why the new technology is about to shift the world from the way we see it nowadays. Bitcoins opened the door through use of Blockchains as the first cryptocurency. Ethereum is extending the horizon in the field of smart contracts.
It is definitely possible, but it must be able to comprehend opportunities regardless of market conduct. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC tendency down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be acceptable.
Bitcoin is the chief cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, international, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there is no authorities, banks, or every other regulatory agencies. As such, it really is more immune to crazy inflation and tainted banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the protection and privacy threats. Security and privacy can readily be achieved by just being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't place your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of ownership from your wallets and therefore keeping you anonymous.
This mining action validates and records the transactions across the whole network. So if you're trying to do something prohibited, it isn't wise because everything is recorded in the public register for the rest of the world to see eternally.
Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but they also be a part of more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows innovative dispute arbitration services to be developed in the future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain always leaves public proof that the transaction happened. This can be potentially used in a appeal against companies with deceptive practices.
Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, meaning the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the variety of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. So, even the most diligent buyer couldn't purchase all present bitcoins. This situation is not to imply that markets aren't exposed to price exploitation, yet there's no need for big sums of cash to transfer market prices up or down. The smallest events in the world economy can change the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.

In the case of a fully functioning cryptocurrency, it may perhaps be dealt as a thing. Promoters of cryptocurrencies proclaim that kind of personal income isn't managed by way of a main banking system and it is not therefore subject to the whims of its inflation. Since there are always a restricted variety of products, this coinis importance is dependant on market forces, allowing owners to industry over cryptocurrency trades.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have now been designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers assert that there is "real" value, even through there is no physical representation of that value. The value rises due to computing power, that is, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time period which is worth an ever diminishing amount of currency or some sort of reward to be able to ensure the shortfall. Each coin contains many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant solution, which will be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The blockchain is where the public record of trades dwells.
The fact that there is little evidence of any increase in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal attempts to regulate it. The reason for this could be simply that the marketplace is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. Additionally it is possible the regulators just do not understand the technology and its implications, awaiting any developments to act.
The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: due to the dynamics of the protocol in which it's transacted. All deals over a crypto currency blockchain are irreversible. After youare paid, you get paid. This isn't anything short-term wherever your visitors may dispute or need a concessions, or use illegal sleight of palm. In-practice, many dealers would be a good idea to utilize a cost processor, because of the irreversible dynamics of crypto currency orders, you should ensure that safety is tricky. With any kind of crypto currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers might access your private tips and therefore steal your cash. However, you almost certainly will never have it back. It is quite crucial for you really to adopt some very good safe and secure techniques when coping with any cryptocurrency. Doing this may protect you from most of these negative functions.
If you are looking for The Affluence Network inventory loading, look no further than TAN.
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the various nodes of the network has become the work of a number of firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes firms that offer long-distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local conduit, which ultimately joins in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through any of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and sometimes by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the data to stream without interruption, in the right area at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet together these firms determine how it functions, and established rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's taking place to ascertain how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs consent from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to work with the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to phone to get it mended. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in place and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these issues are solved.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not regulated by any centralized business. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a committed supporter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current inherent difficulties to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that.
You've probably noticed this often where you generally spread the good word about crypto. "It is not erratic? What happens if the value crashes? " So far, many POS devices offers free transformation of fiat, relieving some matter, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most of the people is going to be hesitant to carry any. We have to find a method to struggle the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not essential to comprehend how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it's basically important to comprehend that there's a procedure for mining to create virtual currency. Unlike monies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can simply choose to print endless quantities (I 'm not saying they are doing thus, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining application, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation.
Lots of people would rather use a currency deflation, particularly those that need to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Financial solitude, for instance, is amazing for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in trade; should you be living pay check to pay check, it'd take place within your riches, with the rest reserved for other currencies.


It's wedding season for Cambodia's Muslims. Living alongside with their Khmer counterparts, Chams in Cambodia have their own customs and traditions of marriage—though with a little less celebration.
Unlike traditional Khmer wedding celebrations, in which sounds of wedding songs and musical instruments can be heard from the bride's house, a Cham celebration contains no songs or music.
The reason is that Islamic law does not allow any romantic music, though the law allows sounds of Islamic prayers or reading of its holy book, the Koran, during the special occasion.
The Chams, descendents of the lost Champa empire in today's Vietnam, are followers of Islam. The majority of them, estimated to be 500,000 in Cambodia, live along the Tonle Sap and the Mekong rivers.
The period following the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca is the most popular.
A Cham wedding is generally observed for one and a half days. On the first day, two or three meals are served for guests who have been invited to the village free of charge. The attendees may contribute some money, food or gifts to the host family, if they wish.
The one festivity during the wedding is called "Kupol," in Cham. Kupol is the negotiation between the groom and the bride's father of a dowry and the handover of the bride to the groom.
During Kupol, the bride's father declares among relatives from both sides, religious teachers, or "tuon," or an imam to witness the amount of money he has demanded from the groom before handing over the bride—symbolically, as the bride cannot be present—to the groom.
"We say [in Cham] that we agree to give the bride to the groom with the presence of tuon, and the groom must accept her as his lawful wife and must be responsible [for her life]," said Man Mohd, 46, who saw his first daughter married on the outskirts of Phnom Penh last weekend.
"In return for the bride, I have to say to my father-in-law that I would agree to pay the demanded amount and accept the bride," said the groom, Matt Roza, during his wedding celebration.
The groom has to make sure he answers correctly a few questions asked by the tuon or imam. The questions are about Islamic principles and marriage laws of Islam. If the groom answers the first question incorrectly, he is offered another chance, until he can make the correct answer.
"Kopul is all about Cham marriage," said Mohd Farid Hosen, executive director of the Cambodian Muslim Intellectual Alliance.
"It is the determinant that the bride and the groom become man and wife lawfully, according to our Cham tradition," he said.

Hello everyone! As you all know, I recently got back to New York City just in time for the first day of spring blizzard. This morning, I looked through my dresser to find yet another sweater to match some warm jeans when I realized that I still had a few pairs of shorts leftover from the summer that were stuffed way back in the corner of my third drawer. Feeling frustrated over winter coming yet again, I decided that I would finally allow myself to wear shorts regardless of New York's 30 degree chill storm. In this outfit, I'm wearing American Eagle shorts along with sweater tights from UNIQLO and jewelry by Eenspirations. Who says you can only wear shorts in warm weather? Match them with some cozy sweater tights and you get the best of both worlds!

Orientation Week, or O-Week as it's known, is your time to learn about your new university, so make the most of it—explore the campus, get your bearings, see what's on offer academically and socially, and meet new friends.
Activate your student email account, confirm enrolment in your units, arrange your fees, get your Student ID card, buy your books, organise a parking permit if you need one—do all the things that you need to do to set yourself up as a student. This way when classes start, you'll already be prepared, and can focus on your new student life.
Whether it's the compulsory events that you have to attend, or session on what support options are available to international students, or if it's just something that sounds fun, sign up and get involved. But make sure to fit these in around any mandatory sessions.
If your uni offers it, sign up to a buddy or mentor system. You'll be partnered with someone who can provide you support and guidance through both the academic and social side of your new university, and you might even make some new friends while you're at it.
Definitely take the opportunity for a guided tour, if they're on offer. There's no better way to learn the ins and outs of the campus than from someone who knows it like the back of their hand. Be sure to learn where your classrooms are and don't be afraid to ask questions.
Sign up to a range of student clubs, societies, and activities. If you have an interest or want to start a new hobby, there's sure to be a club for you.
Most universities have specific clubs or societies for their individual faculties, so chances are you will too. Sign up to your faculty club or society, where you'll get a support network of people studying the same course as you, you'll be able to find a study buddy, and get course advice when you need it.
In O-Week, with not as many lectures to get to or classes to attend, you'll have time to explore and find arguably the most important elements of your campus—the food. Find which place suits you best, and get comfortable there. It's a great place to meet friends later on in between lectures.
It's O-Week, so there's a good chance people will be handing out free goodies. Whether it's campus guides, notebooks, pens, food and drinks, or show bags, it's sure to come in useful.
It's a fairly obvious statement, and it can be quite daunting, but most people will be in the same situation as you. Everyone wants to make friends when they start uni, and you'll be meeting so many new people, so why not be the one to say 'hi'?
The point of O-Week is to get to know your new environment and become comfortable with your new home. This is a lot easier to do if you take a few deep breaths every once in a while and just go with the flow. Remember, O-Week is what you make of it.

21st Century Coaching must be reinvented for lives facing predicaments never seen before.
The calling of our times is like no other in the history of humanity. We are called to reconnect with the miraculous web of life here on the planet we call home. We are called to find a new way to live together and to live on this Earth - a new way that will bring deeper meaning, right relationship and love of life back to our experience of being alive. All of this is called for while we are collectively facing extraordinary challenges and predicaments never dreamt of before.
No positive human response to our global problems and predicaments is possible - without our reconnection with: Deeper Self, Others and Earth.
Business as usual living tends to rob us of our core integrity and ability to stand for what matters in life.
Reconnecting with the web of life and rediscovering our Core Purpose reignites passion and deep integrity - no matter the circumstances.
To live successfully in our Business as Usual culture has meant to disconnect ourselves from our innate awareness of and sensitivities to our relatedness with the entire web of life on Earth.
The most successful among us have learned to override all manner of internal and external signals of imbalance or disease in the web of life in which we live.
Living Resilience Coaching is designed to reconnect us with all dimensions of that web of life, including our deeper selves, other beings and Earth herself. We are also committed to gathering and crafting the most powerful practices we can find to equip a sincere practitioner with tools that promote our resilience in the face of our global predicaments and our many local challenges at every level.
