Is there also some tutorial which shows how to install Windows CE on this device?
Two separate questions. There may be mods of your device with updates to 2.1, but upgrade to 2.2 would likely come from a firmware cook who has the same unit. Not telling you to look to other sites, but search google with your device name, firmware upgrade, and download and you may find something. There is more likely be mods of 2.1 than newer 2.2 firmware.
As to CE, there are very few that offer CE/Android multi-boot. Keep in mind CE and Window Mobile are basically the same with one (WM) directed to Phones. CE was designed for PDAs. There was a technical fork never discussed at Version 6. There is no CE beyond V6 and Windows Mobile only after that.
I would suggest the same googling for your tablet and CE, If it has been created, then the firmware update methodology is identical. But each is generally specific to the device.
I would stick with Android OS 2.1 for now and check on the site where you had purchased your tablet from since most of them now have some sort of support of the ROM.
I'm looking for the same thing, windows CE instead of android. Anyone know where i would find windows CE ROMs for the apad?
thanks Bee for the up....ive got an android 2.2 which is showing 1/4 inch of screen as blurred..apparently this can be solved by going to windows ce(not that i want to)...sorry for asking a stupid question,but what the hell do i do with the files included in that link?
Hello i bought a apad tablet and i do not like the android os on it. this is the info mine gave me on what it is.
would that windows Ce work on this one? and on that windows ce programs can i use i have one that my work uses works on windows me and xp. can this program works on windows ce?
and how would i go around to installing windows ce on this tablet??
Bee, I am an American working in China right now.. I just bought a Apad clone.. works great but it has Android on it.. I am a Windows fan as I do a log of C++ and MFC programming. I would like to convert this Apad to CE.. I see you sent a download link to another person. I tried to download but was blocked.. happens sometimes in China.. I am wondering if I can contact you or vice versa. I have a server in the United States.. I could set up an FTP folder to upload too. I hope this isn't too imposing. I could really use some help in getting what is necessary to do the CE conversion.
hi unfortunatly i do not know how to install the files, but i do know you have to do something with them on a piece of software called burntool, type that in on google and download it and also there isnt much risk installingwindows ce, however it is flashing.

South Africa is similar to all other markets around the world, where the plethora of media channels create challenges for marketers and advertisers in deciding where to invest marketing budget to deliver the biggest returns. From an access point of view, South Africans continue to favor TV and Radio over other channels, with claimed media consumption over a 24 hour period of TV and Radio as 91% and 75% respectively, the highest usage across all channels.
These results from the March/April 2018 Broadcast Research Council of South Africa Establishment Survey release confirms the important role that traditional media plays in reaching consumers. However, although there is greater access to TV and Radio across the country then other media touchpoints, it should be noted that the role of digital continues to be critically important, with 49% of consumers claiming to have accessed the internet during the same time period.
What sets South Africa apart from the rest of the globe is its highly mobile-centric market with significantly elevated mobile phone access to the internet. To a large degree, the internet experience for South Africans is exclusively mobile, as only one in five metropolitan South Africans own a PC most of which are laptops, and just 10% of South Africans have fixed line internet at home. Clearly, digital marketing plans should embody a mobile first strategy, which is imperative for marketing success.
South Africans, unlike the rest of the world's online populations, generally don't own more than one device and so multiple device usage is rare. More established global digital channels, such as Smart TV's, Smart Watches and Gaming Consoles continue to have low penetration in the South African market and therefore media investment in these channels are likely to have low reach. However, this is an opportunity for innovative brands to experiment in these channels and the marketing lessons learnt through this exploration, will ensure that these brands have the edge when these touchpoints do gain more traction.
Not surprisingly, South Africans spend a lot more of their time on their mobile devices than global device owners, though with high data costs, the average South African actually spends much less time online using their phones than their global counterparts (-14%). Brands which do embark on a mobile advertising journey, need to ensure that advertising is optimized to address this concern. Data compression, especially for video, is a key opportunity and already offered across Facebook and YouTube.
So where are South Africans spending that extra time? This is allocated to traditional media. South Africans spend about 20% more time on TV than the rest of the world. Entertainment has proven to be a healthy business and despite the economic hardships many South Africans have endured, Pay-TV services are trending near their global counterparts. Streaming services like Netflix have not yet gained wide penetration in South Africa, however, as the economy advances, and fixed line internet access is rolled out it won't take long for consumers, who are always looking for "new and exciting", to shift share of time to streaming online services.
Three out of every four South Africans use social media and of those, about the same ratio of people are on Facebook. WhatsApp is the dominant App and social networking and instant messaging are the most prevalent digital activities. Throughout the world, and South Africa is no exception, brands look to social media to entice, educate, and build communities. Most importantly, social media creates the opportunity for brands to build trust with customers and utilize the power of storytelling to share customer journeys with their broader audiences.
Brands do a good job at delivering both cohesive and functional "needs-based" advertising, with heavier media users seeing an even better fit with better storylines. Generally, consumers also see a good fit across media type, more so than across the rest of the world. However, though consumers are seeing a greater proliferation of advertising, there is a sense of intrusiveness, which also is a global phenomenon.
In terms of delivering brand messages, overall traditional forms are still the best in South Africa with radio (+15%), billboards (+11%) and magazine ads (+10%) outpacing global averages. Therefore, it is clear that traditional advertising has far leeway in terms of delivering a less than optimal experience, where consumers are likely to simply ignore advertising messages which are irrelevant. In the digital space, South Africans don't have quite the same positive perspective on online advertising and poor digital creatives have the ability to negatively impact brand perceptions, so getting the message, and targeting right, in digital is key. Brands should take the time to ensure digital advertising is relevant, creatively strong and optimized for the individual channel.
Traditional advertising holds strong but as consumers continue to increase their mobile internet time, a good mix of media is appropriate with consistent purpose-driven storylines across media and it is clear that multichannel campaigns tend to be more efficient in delivering overall brand ROI.
Clearly, web sites must be optimized for mobile usage, information should be succinct and easy to read, and connecting with consumers is best done via messaging (WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger) and social media (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter). Regardless of the media channels chosen, creative integration and optimized customization for each channel in question has the ability to deliver 67% more overall brand ROI then campaigns which are completely disparate. Integrated planning is an invaluable component to ensuring every media rand spent delivers real business results.
For South African brands expanding in global markets, more emphasis on digital is appropriate as global audiences receive more brand messaging online. Of course, traditional and digital campaigns should be well integrated and consistent and should combine need-based advertising, which is highly effective in local markets, with the emotional storytelling that connects with global audiences.

We bought this umbrella in aqua and love the color. Fabric is good quality. Bought at the end of summer so only used it a few times before putting it away until next year. Purpose was to provide shade from the afternoon sun and it fit the bill perfectly. Little vents in the top allow air flow. Easy operation.
The umbrella is very functional and great quality, highly reckoned this product!!!
I've been using a beach umbrella to shade my very sunny back deck. This umbrella is just what I was looking for. Love the rectangular shape, love the color (red), and most of all love the ease of use. I highly recommend Treasure Garden umbrellas!!!
Beautiful color I got the spa blue and the material is far superior from other umbrellas I've purchased over the years. Would definitely recommend it for quality and price.
Very happy with this purchase. Very well made, very easy to crank open and tilt. We opted for the sunbrella fabric and it looks great. Only been using for a few days, so we'll see how it holds up, but the build is very high quality.
Great umbrella for my outdoor dining table. Have bought this product before and made another purchase of it due to its great durability. It looks great and I received it by the date promised. Very happy with my purchase.
I can point to no glaring flaws in this umbrella, but it is very lightweight. In fact, the slightest breeze moves it around. The Sunbrella fabric is supposed to be water-resistant, but it doesn't resist very hard. We were shocked at how flimsy it seemed. I wish I had just gone to a store where I could see and feel what I was buying.
Great buy ! $160 cheaper than Outdoor furniture store. Excellent delivery.
This umbrella does the job better than any I've owned before.
Love this umbrella! This is the second one that I have purchased. I decided to purchase another one to cover the remaining portion of my deck. I purchased a rolling umbrella stand and it works fabulously with this umbrella and I am able to move it around the deck as needed. Wonderful products. My last umbrella lasted over 15 years!
Beautiful umbrella, great quality for the price!
Disappointed that it took 6 weeks from order date to delivery date. Shipping date changed three times throughout the process! When I originally ordered, the website stated that this product usually ships within two weeks!
Great umbrella that appears well-made, is as described and functions well. Though, like the Treasure Garden base that was ordered with it, the umbrella came with little instructions and I am not sure how the "auto tilt" works unless you keep cranking it up until the bendable joint pops out. I don't find an explanation for the feature online and none was included with the umbrella. I did get the umbrella on sale, but even then it wasn't inexpensive and took over 6 weeks to arrive.
The product it self is wonderful. I had to wait a while to get it, 5 weeks.
The umbrella arrived earlier than expected and was in perfect condition. It was easy to set up and tilt.
Wow, really happy with the construction of this umbrella, looking forward to many years of use!
I bought this umbrella online by looking at the picture. It looked great online and I was just hoping it was close to the same in real life. I was so very pleased when it arrived as it way exceeded my expectations. The color is vibrant and the quality is awesome, I bought the blue and it makes a great statement on my patio.
We were anxiously waiting for delivery of the unbrella. After receiving the umbrella in the anticipated 4 weeks, we were disappointed to find that we couldn't use it, since the manufacturer had failed to ship the included pole. Until we receive the pole, it is hard to make a full evaluation. The upgraded fabric seems to be as good as we expected.

The parable of the pharisee and the tax collector is found in Luke 18:9-14. In it, Jesus tells the story of two men: One who believed he was righteous because of his actions and one who confessed that he was nothing but a sinner. Jesus makes the point that the humble man is exalted before God. Use classroom activities to teach students the meaning of this parable.
Give each child a balloon. Do not blow them up. Ask the students to stretch, pull on and twist the balloons. They should find that the deflated balloons are pliable and flexible. Tell the students that a humble man is like the deflated balloons. God can use someone who is humble because he can be bent to His will. Then, ask the students to blow up their balloons, or you can distribute balloons that have been blown up and tied. A prideful man, like the pharisee -- who was proud of his fasting and tithing -- is like a balloon filled with air. He cannot be manipulated for God's purposes. In fact, if he gets too full of himself, he will pop and be broken and useless. Remind the students that too much pride is a sin, and that people should always be humble before God.
In Luke 18:14, Jesus states that those who exalt themselves, or who are prideful, will be humbled. But on the other hand, those who are humble will be exalted by God. Explain that this means those who think they are better than others are not looked at favorably by God. Instead, God praises and raises up those who are humble, modest and know that they owe everything to God. Brainstorm with the students ways they can show modesty and be humble. For example, a child can offer to do something for his parents without asking for anything in return, or he can give something to someone without asking when they will get it back. Older students can write a list of ways to show humility, while younger students might draw a picture or share ideas out loud.
Draw a simple picture of the pharisee -- perhaps a stick figure with his arms raised. Also draw a simple picture of the tax collector -- perhaps a stick figure bowing to the ground or pounding his chest. Draw the pictures on cardboard or on poster board so that you can easily hold them up in the air. Then, tell the students to act like the figure in the picture. Hold up the pharisee and see how the students act. They should act in prideful ways, boasting about how great they are or how they will surely go to heaven. Then, hold up the picture of the tax collector, and ask them to do the same. You might also divide the children into two groups, or call them up in pairs of two to role-play in front of the class.
Remind the students that it is impossible to be completely humble because people are all sinners. Tell them that people can get help by praying to God and by reading the Bible. One way to make sure people are humble, even when they pray, is to remember the word "JOY." Each letter in the word stands for how to pray. The letter "J" stands for Jesus -- when people pray, they should praise and thank Jesus first. The letter "O" stands for others -- next in a prayer should come requests for others. Finally, the letter "Y" stands for "you" -- prayers should end with a person's own personal requests and needs. Putting oneself last, even in prayer, is a good way to practice humility.
Does the Bible Say Anything About Forgiving Adultery?

Q: Encoding a UTF-16 Byte Array into a string character C# .NET I have a byte array which I believe correctly stores a UTF-16 encoded Surrogate Pair for the unicode character
Running that byte array through .Net System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString() returns non-expected results.
Actual results: ��
Expected results:
Code example:
byte[] inputByteArray = new byte[4];
inputByteArray[0] = 0x91;
inputByteArray[1] = 0xDF;
inputByteArray[2] = 0x00;
inputByteArray[3] = 0xD8;

// System.Text.Encoding.Unicode accepts little endian UTF-16
// Least significant byte first within the byte array [0] MSByete in [3]
string str = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString(inputByteArray);

// This returns �� rather than the excpected symbol:
Console.WriteLine(str);

Detail on how I got to that particular byte array from the character :
This character is within the Supplementary Multilingual Plane. This character in Unicode is 0x10391. Encoded into a UTF-16 surrogate pair, this should be :
Minus the Unicode value with 0x10000 : val = 0x00391 = (0x10391 - 0x10000)
High surrogate: 0xD800 = ( 0xD800 + (0x00391 >> 10 )) top 10 bits
Low surrogate: 0xDF91 = (0xDC00 + (0x00391 & 0b_0011_1111_1111)) bottom 10 bits

A: Encoding.Unicode is little-endian on a per-UTF-16 code unit basis. You still need to put the high surrogate code unit before the low surrogate code unit. Here's sample code that works:
using System;
using System.Text;

class Test
{
    static void Main()
    {
        byte[] data =
        {
            0x00, 0xD8, // High surrogate
            0x91, 0xDF  // Low surrogate
        };
        string text = Encoding.Unicode.GetString(data);
        Console.WriteLine(char.ConvertToUtf32(text, 0)); // 66449
    }
}

Do we have an economic crisis in America – or just a distribution crisis? Where did the concept of "economic democracy" come from – and where is it going? What does it mean when the global derivatives market is ten times as big as the entire global economy? Which makes you happier, buying things for yourself, or giving your money away to other people? Is there no alternative to the current economic order – or is another world possible?
These are some of the questions that are being asked, and answered, here at the Economic Democracy Conference in Madison, Wisconsin.
Let's recap what some of the speakers here have told us.
Keynote speaker Gar Alperovitz, author of America Beyond Capitalism, says that our current economic system isn't much different from the feudalism of the Middle Ages. In those days, the feudal lords owned just about everything, and the serfs almost nothing. Today, the "feudal lords" are the super-rich. According to Gar Alperovitz, America's top feudal lords, the 400 richest people in America, own more than the bottom 150 million people. That's right: The richest 400 have more wealth than the poorest 150 MILLION people.
Land ownership is even worse. Alperovitz points out that only 5% America's population owns more than 95% of its privately-owned land. That means that 95% of the population – that's us, folks – owns only 5% of the land. Forty acres and a mule, anyone?
If this kind of extreme and growing inequality is the problem, people here say, "economic democracy" is the solution.
But what is "economic democracy"?
Jason Schreiner, who teaches Environmental Studies at the University of Oregon, explains that the term "economic democracy" dates to the nineteen-teens and nineteen-twenties. One of the landmarks was CH Douglas's book Social Credit, published in 1924.
Jason Shreiner says that the mantra of the 1980s and 1990s liberalization and globalization policies was TINA, "There Is No Alternative." The anti-globalization movement responded with AWIP, "Another World Is Possible." Today, economic democracy advocates are not just saying that another world IS possible. They're working on specific ideas to create that other world. Jason Shreiner cited alternative currencies, including the local currencies that are springing up all over the country. He cited movements to finance local economies with local capital. He cited the cooperatives movement. And he cited a program he's been working with in Eugene, Oregon, called SEED: Solidarity Economy and Ecological Design.
Let's pick up the end of Jason Shreiner's talk.
Tom Barefoot, from the Gross National Happiness USA Project in the state of Vermont, picked up on the theme that money can't buy happiness. He cited a psychology study in which undergraduate students were given $150. One group was told to spend the day giving the money away. The second group was told to spend it on themselves. At the end of the day, they did a whole slew of happiness tests, measured their endorphins, their happiness brain waves, the neurons firing in their pleasure centers…the whole nine yards. They found that the people who gave the money away were markedly happier than the people who spent it on themselves.
Why is that? Tom Barefoot explains that brain research has discovered the altruism center in the human brain, and that it's linked with happiness. Unfortunately, he said, our culture is working overtime to destroy our capacity for altruism – and thus destroy our capacity for happiness. A classic example, he said, are botox parties. These are sort of like tupperware parties or Amway parties, except that instead of selling tupperware or dishsoap, the hostess is selling botox facial injections, which are supposed to make you look younger. The problem, Tom Barefoot explains, is that these botox injections paralyze the so-called mirror neurons in our faces. These mirror neurons automatically fire to put our facial expressions in emotional synch with the facial expressions of the people we're talking to. They're a crucial part of the neurology of empathy, compassion, altruism, and happiness. They're a core part of how we relate with other people. So when people get these botox injections, Tom Barefoot explained, the mirror neurons stop working, wreaking emotional havoc on the individual's relationship with his or her loved ones. Talking to a person with botox injections is sort of like talking to a person wearing a mask. Actually it's worse, because we don't unconsciously expect a mask to mirror our facial expressions of emotion, like we do with an actual human face. As Tom Barefoot put it: Botox creates a blank face without micro-muscle movements – a blank face that is antithetical to empathy and cooperation. Unfortunately, the botox smiley face is pretty much the official face of capitalism.
These are some of the highlights from the action thus far at the Economic Democracy Conference in Madison, Wisconsin happening Thursday through Sunday, October 9th through 13th, 2012. I'm Kevin Barrett for No Lies Radio saying that money can't buy happiness – but it sure can make you happy if you give it away to a good cause, like NoLiesRadio.org, where we're bringing you the news that the mainstream media just won't report.

Ghostland: In Search of a Haunted Country
By: Edward Parnell
Narrated by: Sam Woolf
In his late 30s, Edward Parnell found himself trapped in the recurring nightmare of a family tragedy. For comfort, he turned to his bookshelves, back to the ghost stories that obsessed him as a boy, and to the writers through the ages who have attempted to confront what comes after death. In Ghostland, Parnell goes in search of the 'sequestered places' of the British Isles, our lonely moors, our moss-covered cemeteries, our stark shores and our folkloric woodlands.

The Owlmen
By: S. E. England
Narrated by: Henrietta Meire
Ellie Blake is recovering from a nervous breakdown. Deciding to move back to her northern roots, she and her psychiatrist husband buy Tanners Dell at auction - an old water mill in the moorland village of Bridesmoor. However, there is disquiet in the village. Tanners Dell has a terrible secret, one so well guarded no one speaks its name. But in her search for meaning, Ellie is drawn to traditional witchcraft and determined to pursue it.
Police officer David Hanlin is asked to investigate the presumed murder of a child in an obscure rural village in Cornwall. During the protagonist's short stay, he is slowly subjected to a spectacle of psychological trickery, sexual seduction, ancient religious practices and nightmarish sacrificial rituals. Shrouded in the same brand of mystery and contradiction that forms its tangled plot, Ritual, the 1967 debut by playwright David Pinner, is commonly recognised to be the basis for the 1973 film, The Wicker Man, which has enthralled and inspired generations of film enthusiasts throughout the world.

its NOT the Wickerman
it's what Wickerman is based on but it's very different though the basic set up is the same. the ending totally different.
Daz Nugent
Vintage 1960s pagan mystery thriller
If you could sum up Ritual in three words, what would they be?
Classic Folk Horror
What about Ric Jerrom's performance did you like?
Ric Jerrom's patient delivery is on the mark - it allows the listener time to digest Pinner's flowery literary flourishes.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Intrigue.
See amazon for reviews of this Wicker Man ancestor novel. I wish to compliment Ric Jerrom's performance. I read the novel a couple of years before hearing this audio book and am impressed with his patient delivery. There is a lot of rural, pagan descriptive imagery that could so easily flood the listener. Listening to this was an enjoyable, thrilling companion during long dog walks around rural England.

The Source of a Dynasty of Horror
Ritual (1967) is the original novel upon which the films The Wicker Man (1973 and 2006) and The Wicker Tree (2011) are based. Of the films, arguably the 1973 version starring Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee, Britt Ekland, Ingrid Pitt and Diane Cilento is the best and well worth watching. I found Ritual, the original book, to be an excellent read the detail of which added different perspectives to the story. The book is set in Cornwall rather than the Scottish Highlands but aside from the added remoteness of Scotland that is really neither here nor there. The book and the film run parallel until about two thirds through but the endings are markedly different. The ending of the film is 'a spectacular' and by and large what it is remembered for but the ending of the book is far more complex and a very well written examination of the police inspector's mental state. Despite the age of the book I am not going to engage in spoilers as I suspect that despite the success of the 1973 film relatively few below a certain age will have read it. I urge you to do this and/or listen to the Audible version as the narration of Ric Jerrom is excellent!!
So bad I could not finish it
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A total re-write. Story is superficial, full of cliches and writing smug, constantly drawing attention to how clever the writer believed himself. It's all yarn and no substance.
Narrated to slowly which made it even more painful to listen to. Had to play it double speed before giving up after hearing the first third of the tale
The Wicker Man is a great film, supposedly in part based on The Ritual. Thankfully Anthony Shaffer's screenplay didn't take too much notice of this book.

Maine Guard chief: Battalion's exit part of Army shift
Brig. Gen. Campbell says he opposes the plan to relocate the 133rd, but it's 'probable.' Gov. LePage says it's not up to him, but a federal panel will study it.
By Randy BillingsPortland Press Herald
Brig. Gen. James Campbell said Tuesday that Maine will likely lose the Maine Army National Guard's133rd Engineer Battalion because of a strategic decision by the Army to create more infantry units.
It was the first time that Campbell, adjutant general of the Maine Guard, had spoken publicly since news broke of the potential relocation of the highly valued engineering and construction battalion, which has helped the state through natural disasters and community projects.
Gov. Paul LePage, meanwhile, announced that a federal commission will study any redeployment of Maine's National Guard units.
LePage, speaking to selected media in a briefing at the State House, also said the final decision about the battalion's future doesn't rest with him.
"This is not a state issue — it's a national issue," he said. "It's a big discussion. As it turns out, it looks like Congress is stepping in and finally making a decision that is appropriate — they are going to set up a commission to study it. Enough said of that one."
The governor is planning a series of meetings with Guard personnel, including a video call with members of the 133rd who are now deployed overseas.
LePage was joined by Campbell at Tuesday's impromptu gathering for a small group of reporters. Adrienne Bennett, the governor's press secretary, later sent other media outlets a six-minute audio clip of LePage's remarks.
LePage said the potential relocation of the 133rd Engineer Battalion to another state is being driven by national military cutbacks. He did not address discrepancies between his previous statements that any transfer is still years away and an email that Campbell sent last month to Maine's congressional delegation saying the move is set for 2015.
"It is highly likely at this point that we will seek to make a change with another state, regardless of whether or not the cuts we are fighting against actually happen," Campbell wrote in the email April 29. "Again, we have been looking for an infantry unit for some years now."
Campbell's remarks were not part of the initial recording distributed to the media, but were released in a second audio clip later Tuesday afternoon at the request of a reporter.
In an email that accompanied the clip, Bennett derided coverage in the Portland Press Herald, which broke the news of the potential move four weeks ago and has reported on the inconsistency between public statements and private emails about the inevitability and timing of such a switch.
"Perhaps, if you would report the facts, including that there is no such discrepancy you refer to, rather than sensationalize a story in an attempt to create a 'crisis' feel for your article, I would be inclined to invite you into the Governor's Office," Bennett wrote.
SHIFTING AWAY FROM ENGINEERS, MEDICS
Campbell said the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff are determined to re-balance the military, regardless of federal budget proposals. After long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army is shifting away from the long-term support provided by engineers, medics and military police to more combat troops, he said.
Campbell said the Army is looking to cut construction and engineering battalions like the 133rd by 20 percent in the coming years, and create five new infantry battalions in the next five years. Maine hopes to add an infantry unit, rather than lose a unit entirely, he said.
"We don't want to lose jobs," Campbell said. "We don't want to do this. We're not going to volunteer for it. What we've said to the National Guard is, if the worst case happens, we'd rather convert a unit than have it eliminated entirely.
"We think that, based on the strategic view and all these things we're being told, it's probable that this is going to happen," he said, "unless of course Congress overturns the Budget Control Act and we don't end up doing any transformations."
Campbell defended his leadership of the 133rd and his handling of the controversy, which broke when he was in Saudi Arabia for a five-week fellowship.
"If there's a misinterpretation of some of the things that came out, I take responsibility for that," Campbell said. "But I don't need to apologize for it because we have been on the record about (opposing) this a long time. I think my soldiers and my staff understand very clearly exactly what's happening."
LePage: No LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN
The 133rd Engineer Battalion handles vital engineering and construction duties during civil emergencies like severe storms, flooding and other natural disasters. The unit also offers significant opportunities for women, and combines training for soldiers with community service to build school athletic facilities, youth camps, nature trails, municipal sand and salt sheds, rural fairgrounds and other projects.
Critics have said that moving the engineer battalion would reduce training opportunities for women. But LePage noted that the Pentagon announced last year that it would lift its ban on women serving in combat roles, including infantry, in 2016.
"What that means I don't know yet," LePage said. "Those who are trying to make (loss of opportunities for women) a political issue are off base."
After the Press Herald first reported the possible loss of the engineer battalion, LePage accused Maine U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-1st District, of leaking the information to the newspaper.
However, Press Herald columnist Bill Nemitz, who broke the story, said the information came from "within the Maine Army National Guard, not the congressional delegation."
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, GOVERNOR TO MEET
On May 19, Pingree and Maine U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud, the Democrat who is running for governor against LePage, wrote a letter to Campbell requesting a meeting to discuss the proposed changes.
LePage, who as governor is commander in chief of the Maine Guard, responded on Campbell's behalf Friday, inviting Pingree and Michaud to meet with him and "appropriate National Guard leadership."
Michaud's congressional staff accepted the governor's invitation on Tuesday afternoon and suggested that the meeting include Maine Sens. Angus King, an independent, and Republican Susan Collins. No details were immediately available about when and where the meeting will be held.
Pingree is married to S. Donald Sussman, the primary owner of MaineToday Media, which publishes the Press Herald, the Kennebec Journal in Augusta and the Morning Sentinel in Waterville.
Dan Rafter, Michaud's congressional spokesman, said the federal commission that would look at restructuring the National Guard is part of the National Defense Authorization Act, which was passed last week by the House of Representatives.
Action is pending on the Senate's version of the bill.
In February, Pingree and Michaud co-sponsored the provision to create the National Commission on the Structure of the Army, Rafter said.

If you own a business that deals in fruits and produce, you enjoy significant protections as a creditor under the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA). If you sell your perishable goods to a business that goes bankrupt, you have a right under PACA to collect payment ahead of all other creditors.
At the Orantes Law Firm in Los Angeles, our lawyers understand both the rights of creditors and the responsibilities of debtors in California. If you are owed money by a supermarket, restaurant or other business that has filed bankruptcy, we offer a free initial consultation to give you honest answers about your collection options so you can recover as much as possible.
What Is PACA?
PACA is a little understood law that creates a special trust to protect the rights of businesses that grow, gather, sell or distribute fruits and produce. The trust applies to farmers, food brokers, wholesalers, farmer's cooperatives and other businesses that deal in perishable goods.
Prior to PACA, fruit and produce sellers had to stand in line behind secured creditors when a customer filed bankruptcy. Often, this meant that produce and fruit sellers received little or nothing from the debtor, while secured creditors such as banks received full payment. PACA creates a trust that moves fruits and produce sellers to the front of the line.
With PACA, debtors are required to pay 100 percent of what they owe, and creditors can obtain payment soon after the bankruptcy case is filed. Because the rules of collecting debts in bankruptcy are complex, it's important to consult an experienced creditors' rights lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights under PACA.

MI6 looks back at the history of the Zig Zag "007" James Bond comic book series published in Chile, Argentina, Peru and Paraguay in 1968...
Zig Zag "007" James Bond Comic Books
Six years after Sean Connery exploded on to the world stage as James Bond in "Dr No", the global phenomenon of 007 left fans in South America hungry for more.
Chilean publisher Zig Zag secured a licence to publish James Bond comic books in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay and Peru in 1968.
Rather than a two man team, like that which produced the British newspaper strips, Zig Zag used artist and writer Germán Gabler to produce some of the adventures. Gabler was born in Santiago, Chile in 1942, and began drawing in his early childhood.
He first worked as a professional comics artist with the help of Jorge Carvallo, who introduced him to the publishing house Zig Zag. He was initially hired as a scriptwriter, and cooperated with his brother Guillermo on several stories.
Right: Cover art for an issue of 007 from Zig Zag. James Bond (Sean Connery) would often wear a white tuxedo.
Gabler had the advantage of fluent English, and could use Ian Fleming's source material years before they were translated in to Castilian. Following the lead from the movies, Gabler's adaptations would often include a glossy and fast paced "pre-title sequence" with the main story based on Fleming's work, but later diverged in to his own original stories. Although licenced through Glidrose (now Ian Fleming Publications), and tied to the literary 007, the depiction of Bond in the comics is clearly based on Sean Connery's movie persona.
Fellow Chilean artist Abel Romero provided many of the covers and some interior art, which he once said he sketched in the theatre whilst watching Bond films. Romero was one of Chile's most prolific comic artists, who had worked in the field since the 1950s. He studied at the School of Arts at the University of Chile between 1945 and 1947. Shortly afterwards, he went to work for the Propagandas Cañas agency, where he did promotional art for North American movie companies. He was head of the comic strip department of the Editorial Quimantú (the former Zig Zag) around 1970.
As well as Gabler and Romero, the team also included artists Hernán Jirón, Lincoln Fuentes and Luis Avila.
Despite the publication suffering poor print quality and artwork far from the realms of John McLusky or Yaroslav Horak, Zig Zag's 007 publication proved successful in South America. But when the Marxist Salvador Allende was elected President in 1970, the political climate drastically shifted in Chile and James Bond went from celebrated hero to a symbol of Western fascism, causing the publication to fold instantly.
When the military regime came in 1973, Romero focused on his advertising assignments, and traveled through Peru and Europe. He eventually settled in Sweden in 1978, and stayed there until 1993. During his stay in Sweden, he drew for Semic, although did not contribute to their James Bond publications.
When Zig Zag changed to Quimantú, Gábler left the firm to work in the industrial field for a while. Around this time, he also began illustrating comic adaptations of novels for an Argentine publisher. During the mid 1970s, he came up with two magazines of his own.
The first one was Killer, which was in fact a continuation of 007, but this time with the face of Charles Bronson.
Later, Gabler became General Manager of SGM and began contributing stories to the British publisher Fleetway. His Fleetway assignments were the final comics works he did. In the 1980s, he focused on his work for television and radio.
Over its short run, Zig Zag's "007" publication produced 59 issues, ending in the ironically titled "The Condemned". The issues are now much sought after collectors items, and building a complete set is a challenge worthy of any serious 007 fan.

Above: Screenshot from the story board on how corporations can fight or join the collaborative economy.
Taking a look back at last two week's event show some interesting twists, the crowd is continuing to organize around getting what they need from each other, rather than from corporations. For the advanced corporations who've entered the collaborative economy, they've formed partnerships to strengthen their own ecosystem.
It's important to state that this is a continuation of social business. The next phase of social business isn't just sharing ideas, but the sharing of goods and services. People can share goods and services with each other (like Lyft, Airbnb, Yerdle and more)–without having to purchase from corporations. Notice the trend? Social media dis-intermediated corporate communications –and now the same trend is happening to goods and services.
Taxi drivers unify and protest against peer-to-peer ride services. SF taxi drivers who're losing money from ride and car sharing services revolt, they picket and protest at SF City hall. I've met Lyft drivers (regular citizens who will drive you around like a friend, for a tip) who have been yelled at, spat on, and called "Scab" by angry taxi drivers. It's impossible to stop this trend, as newly arrived UberX cars are driven by regular people, and have no distinguishing marks. Read the analysis on brand sentiment comparing Uber vs Taxis –the crowd sentiment favors peer ride services over Taxis.
Yet California Public Utilities Commission proposes legal approval. California lawmakers are discussing legalizing peer based car rides, even as SF Mayor engages with a sharing program around emergencies. This movement seeks to legitimize peer to peer car rides, by applying some standards, and I'll assert this is a direct way to obtain additional tax revenues. Once this landmark battle is addressed, it will set precedent for home sharing, money sharing, good sharing, food sharing, and beyond.
Established Regis and Zipcar (by Avis) form a partnership. Massive praise to innovative Zipcar (owned by Avis) and Regus (we're a client) who've partnered up to allow customers of on-demand car sharing to now receive discounts at on-demand office spaces. This bodes well, and I could expect to see other forms of on-demand food, workers, and hotels on demand emerge to suit this same vein. This is a smart move for corporations to align with each other, offering additional value peer to peer sharing can't.
Sharing startups form alliance, with big implications, called Peers.org. Watch this group, Peers.org, closely. I was able to talk to founder Natalie Foster, who was a former digital strategist on the Obama campaign (famed for grassroots online democracy), who shared with me the mission of this advocacy group, containing 22 collaborative economy startups like Airbnb, Lyft, TaskRabbit, Shareable, and more (Businessweek has more). This group will enable people to post their causes online, and then generate global advocacy for the sharing revolution. They also can help the startups themselves built a massive network that could content with corporations.
Examples Peers.org enables the sharing startups to work together forming a powerful collective of shared voice, and potentially market strategy. Corporate alliances like Zipcar and Regus are the first phases, expect other lobbyist to provide power and corporations to get involved.
Strengths Fast and flexible, crowd-powered, VC-backed. Break the rules, barter for forgiveness later. A people's movement ties in with democracy, empowered individuals, and Occupy movement themes. Trusted and established brand. Large set of loyal customers. Massive distribution and resources. Working capital.
Challenge Fragmented set of companies, some directly competitive. Lack a trusted long term 'brand' like established corporations, lack an established customer base, lack systemized infrastructure, lack standardized experiences. Slow moving companies, with first instict is to fight a disruption, rather than adopt. Saddleded with regulations, they lack flexibility, and innovation. Some standard services may not appeal to those seeking local and personal experiences. Often more expensive than crowd-based services.
Opportunity Standardize reputation and ecommerce systems for fluid transactions for people to use all services seamlessly. Tap into the infrastructure, distribution, and supply chain of large corporations. Tap into the crowd for innovation and reduce costs by leveraging the crowd by collaborating. Reduce costs of goods by providing new business models such as on-demand services, a marketplace to yield new transactions and sell new value added services.
Energy is shifting from institutions to the crowd. Angry taxi drivers, hotel lobbyists fighting Airbnb, and aggressive marketing highlight the friction as power, and money shifts from established groups to the crowd-based groups. One reason I'm so focused on this movement is when I see customers move away from corporations, I run (not walk) to this disruption to uncover what's happening, in hopes to help corporations catch up.
A battle is being fought at individual city, state, and other levels. The natural reaction of institutions, businesses is to fight it. The pattern of attacks are illegal activity, unsafe, poor quality and unreliable. As a result, the sharing revolution starts to self-organize their own advocacy (and potentially crowd based lobbying group) through Peers.org to self-organize.
Innovative corporations who seek to thrive will collaborate. Companies don't need to fight this unstoppable internet movement, but instead can collaborate with this movement and make their products available on demand, motivate a marketplace around them, or provide a platform for customers to build on top of them.
The future could mean a connected collaborative economy ecosystem –disruptive to corporations. Do watch Peers.org, who could align the collaborative economy ecosystem into a single force. With the 22 (and more coming) startups that are part of the collaborative economy, they could standardize currency, profiles, reputations, and enable people to get homes, rooms for rents, office space, jobs, goods, food, and more from each other –rather than buying from traditional corporations. If you want to learn how your corporation can be involved, read the full report on the Collaborative Economy, read a curation of stats, a list of startups, and a list of corporations who've moved in.

War veteran's walk to raise money for the NHS skyrockets past £1m
Tuesday 14 April 1:19pm
War veteran Tom Moore's campaign to raise money for the NHS has rocketed past his £500,000 target.
The 99-year-old appeared on GMB yesterday to raise awareness about his mission to walk the length of his 25m garden 100 times before his 100th birthday to try and raise half a million pounds for the NHS.
The response from the public has been immense with Moore having now received nearly £1.5m in donations to help the NHS fight coronavirus.
After hearing Moore's story and reason for trying to raise the funds Piers Morgan donated £10,000 towards the cause.
Moore joined Piers and Susanna again today to thank the GMB viewers for their donations.
"Thank you very, very much you are all so kind, it is such a benefit to so many people. You are giving hope to the people who are at the moment finding it very, very difficult. We shall survive and we will all get through it in the end," he said.
Moore added that while the army did their job in the Second World War, this time round the army is in hospitals.
"This time our army are in doctors and nurses uniforms and they are doing such a marvellous job regardless of their own benefit."
Follow Moore's progress via his Twitter profile @CaptainTomMoore.
Moore served as an officer in the 145 Regiment Royal Armoured Corps from 1940 and explained that he is raising money for the NHS as a thank you for all the times they have treated him.
Moore says the NHS have been 'marvellous' throughout his life as he suffered hip replacements and skin cancer on his head, but the NHS was always on hand to help him recover.
After raising more than £350,000 in just over a week, Moore thanked everyone who has donated and gave credit to the brilliant NHS front line workers.
"I think it is absolutely fabulous that people have been so kind in raising money for the National Health Service," he said.
"If ever you have been in hospital you know that all the staff are all there at nine o'clock in the morning bright eyed and bushy tailed to answer all their duties and they must be a little bit apprehensive."


(NaturalPath) According to a study out of the UC Davis MIND Institute at the University of California and published in Child Neuropsychology, the constant movement in the classroom that is often distracting may be actually helping the children with ADHD learn and perform better in school.
The study compared 26 children with validated ADHD diagnoses with 18 children who were developing normally. Each of the children was between the ages of 10 and 17 years old when the study was conducted. The researchers utilized the "flanker test" to measure the children's focus in relation to their movement.
The accuracy of the participants with ADHD Was significantly improved when they were moving, the study found, In other words, correct answers were associated with more motion than incorrect answers.
Something to think about and maybe tell your kids' teachers if you child has some form of ADHD or a similar disorder.

"I don´t want to have anything to do with her" 04/10/2010
Posted by Sir Ralph in How it went on.
Tags: emergency unit, foster children, foster parents, housing group, keep distance, supervision, trust adult
Those are the words of Jeannett she had in store for her sister during a supervision session. We have agreed that Jeannett should take part if this would be of any help for us as foster children. We were talking about the consequences of the parting from Susan a month ago.
Jeannett must have suffered terribly, She didn´t mention, but she must have been afraid that our whole family would break apart. This would have destroyed the setting which she classed as stable enough for the first time in her life and gave her enough security to survive in a world where she couldn´t trust any adult except us as her foster parents. She was trying to save what she thought would have supported her in her future development. Her sister in this situation was a crucial threat to her.
Jeannett and Ruth these days are not able to visit Susan at the emergency unit these days. The hurt would be too much. The fact that I was losing more and more of Susan´s trust didn´t make things easier. It would be best for all of us to keep distance. so we were getting used to the fact that Susan should be accommodated in a therapeutical housing group which was not necessarily in reach of a day´s trip.
The Birthday 22/11/2009
Tags: asthma, authorities, birthday, cope with problems, custody, embarassed, emergency unit, families, individual case adviser, influence, new friends, room mate, schools, social worker, vague feeling, visit, youngsters, youth welfare office
After the supervision ruth and I set off to the emergency unit. It is Susan´s birthday, and we had promised her to visit her. Janet stayed at home with our individual case adviser, a person who is especially assigned by the youth welfare office to help children and their families to cope with different problems in education, at schools and with authorities. Janet would not be able to manage the situation of meeting her sister, as she had to cope with her own problems.
Susan showed some appreciation of the presents we brought for her: some new pieces of clothing and a portable radio-cd-player. She had already attended us and welcomed us cordially. We were spending about twenty minutes in her room which she was sharing with another girl. Still, she was not willing to leave the unit with us, although the wardens would have allowed us to do so. She seemed to feel protected in some way in the emergency group. After all, maybe she felt just embarrassed by the situation and guilty, although we did everything not to give her any reason for that. Everybody tried not to talk about any critical topics, so you could really call it small talk. How are you doing, have you made any new friends, what about school. What else could we have mentioned without hurting. Susan did not show any signs of distress due to the fact that Janet did not accompany us. We only mentioned that she is not well.
Susan told us that her room mate had visits by boys and smoked in her room; something which really irritaed us. Asthma had been diagnosed with her since the very day when we took custody of the girls. The warden had noticed what was going on and put an end to it.
The social worker in charge for Susan told us that Susan had been beaten by a class mate. Otherwise she was calm and adapted well to the group.
On the way home we tried to explain the situation to each other. What we had not wished for had now taken place. Susan was now in the company of youngsters who had been taken into custody for different reasons, and were spending sometimes only a few days in the emergency unit. Was anything going wrong at her school? Was she well? What did she feel and think about? For the first time, we noticed that we were not responsible any more and didn´t have any influence. Back home, I would have contacted her school immediately and would have put everything right. We were out of power now and not any more part of her development. We were happy that her social worker in charge was reacting very professional, as well as sensitive, also in relation to ourselves.
What stayed was a vague feeling and the certainty of not being able and not being allowed to do the best for Susan.
Having a Bad Time 18/11/2009
Tags: abandoning ties, consequences, custody, emergency hotline, emergency unit, parting, relatives, trauma, youth welfare office
The days after the turning point were hell for the three of us. We were laying the dinner table for four persons, removing one of them. I felt that our decision to part from Susan would have consequences for a long time and we would need much time to cope with them. Ruth has been suffering from a bad stomach ache and would not be able to work. Janet didn´t attend school for some days. I was the only one of us to continue working, probably to get some distraction. Things had to go on.
I visited Susan in the emergency unit to leave her some of her belongings. She welcomed me cordially. Ruth and Janet would not be in the emotional state to be confronted with Susan. They have my sympathy.
Susan made a relaxed, or should I say, weary impression on me? No, not really. She seemed calm, but not depressed. She made contact with the other youngsters in her group; she is the youngest. Still, it is obvious to me that for Susan parting from us meant yet another situation of abandoning ties to persons with a strong influence on her life. I only can hope that there will be professionals to help her get over the parting and her trauma. And I would do what I could to minimise the consequences. This is my firm resolution.
Fortunately, the youth welfare office had granted us a supervision which had already helped us on a lot. The supervisor confirmed our decision. Susan could not bear the closeness of family ties, even if she appreciated it from time to time. All the holidays in France, Britain and Austria she really enjoyed, all of our relatives and friends who had accepted her without reservation, being successful in the local spoorts club where she could really work herself out…
In conclusion: we did the right thing, and there had not been any other way. That is why she would be better off in a children´s institution like the one where she was now.

Golf's New Rules Kick In!
Finally, the ancient game of golf has made some radical changes and the changes are the game's most significant in more than 60 years! It's about time!
After a six-year consultation process, a handful of new rules took effect from January 1, 2019 in an effort to speed up play and modernise the rules. The number of regulations have fallen from 34 to 24.
Penalty and free drops to be made from knee rather than shoulder height.
Only three minutes rather than five allowed to search for a lost ball.
A damaged club, even as a result of abuse in anger, can be repaired and used in remainder of round.
No penalty for hitting flagstick in the hole with a shot played on the green.
No penalty for accidentally moving your ball as long as it is replaced to the correct spot.
Spike marks can be repaired on the green.
No penalty for an accidental double hit.
It becomes possible to take a penalty drop out of a bunker.
Loose impediments may be removed in bunkers and the sand can be touched with a club prior to a stroke from the hazard but not in a practice swing, on the back swing or to test the surface.
Water hazards are now known as "penalty areas" as can other areas of courses be if so deemed by the committee.
All golfers should download the apps available from the R&A.

Civil debate
Two Israeli debating teams were crowned champions of the European Universities Debating Championship, a contest that included 187 teams from 30 countries.

There was good news for Israel last week, though it didn't make many headlines.
Two Israeli debating teams were crowned champions of the European Universities Debating Championship, a contest that included 187 teams from 30 countries. The Israeli Debate League sent 20 teams and 25 adjudicators to the tournament, representing nine Israel universities and academic institutions. Five of those nine reached the final stages of the competition, and two teams from Tel Aviv University – its fourth year in a row winning a title – went to the finals.
Particularly impressive was who won it: Noam Dahan and Tom Manor. Last year they won in the "English as a Second Language" category. This year they moved up in competition and debated alongside native English-speakers.
Overcoming the obvious obstacle of making a second language into a first language, Dahan and Manor beat out an opposition that included competitors from Cambridge and Oxford. In the English as a Second Language category, Amichay Even-Chen and Ido Kotler were the winners.
Why is this not surprising? We Jews love to debate – Judaism encourages arguments and questioning as a pillar of Torah. We're a people that likes to needle, to provoke, to push. And that's a good thing.
The last month has seen a particularly harsh debate over one particular bill in the Knesset, legislation that has generated more heated talk than any one of 25 bills have caused over the last year.
The Nation-State Law has pushed a lot of buttons since it passed July 19, and we understand why. One of the heated topics in the law is the issue of language, specifically the status of Arabic as a first or second language. The issue concerning us here is not just the debate over interpreting that law, but about the debate itself.
As we have seen over the last month, inflamed emotions have led to vociferous attacks on both sides of the discussion, with name-calling, delegitimizing and an extreme lack of civil discourse. Why does it have to be this way? Why can't we debate without rancor and make our ideas and feelings known without disrespecting others? Where is the leader who will stand up against incivility and address such discourteous behavior by calling it out and telling others it is not acceptable?
Speeches at the massive gathering at Rabin Square earlier this month in support of Druze Israelis who are against the bill were indeed tempered and reasoned, despite catcalls against the government on the fringes of the crowd The Oxford Dictionary defines debate as "A formal discussion on a particular matter in a public meeting or legislative assembly, in which opposing arguments are put forward and which usually ends with a vote."
Where is the leader who will lead the charge toward a formal discussion and a more respectful dialogue, who will practice listening when an opponent is speaking in order to understand them instead of immediately trying to shout them down?
Such behavior was evidenced again last week during the special session of the Knesset called on Wednesday to discuss the Nation-State Law – or more accurately, a special session called to attack the government and the majority of legislators who voted for the bill.
It wasn't just the MKs on the floor. Zionist Union activists in the Knesset's guest gallery caused a tumult when they waved copies of the Declaration of Independence.
They were quickly rushed out of the hall by ushers and security personnel, since waving of objects in the plenum is expressly forbidden in the parliament's bylaws.
Like the rest of the world, Israeli dissent has descended into sound bites and photo ops that don't provide real arguments, debate or thoughtful discourse about the critical issues at hand. Against the background of this harsh level of discourse permeating Israeli society, the victories by Dahan, Manor, Even-Chen and Kotler were even more impressive. Theirs was a triumph won in formal debate, using a civil tongue. Shouldn't that be an example to all of us?

The Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday ordered the temporary forfeiture of a property at Banana Island, Lagos bought for $37.5m in 2013 by a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke.
Justice Chuka Obiozor ordered the temporary forfeiture orders on Wednesday, following an ex parte application to that effect brought before him by a counsel for the EFCC, Mr. Anselem Ozioko.
The lawyer said investigation by the EFCC revealed that Diezani made the $37.5m payment for the purchase of the property in cash, adding that the money was moved straight from her house in Abuja and paid into the seller's First Bank account in Abuja.
Listed as respondents in the application were Diezani, a legal practitioner, Afamefuna Nwokedi, and a company, Rusimpex Limited.
After listening to the EFCC lawyer, Ozioko on Wednesday, Justice Obiozor made an order temporarily seizing the property and the funds.


That is every Wrath of God and if you are feeling cruel Armageddon . They all become one sided with your commander and it is a great way to reverse the normal thought process of white always falling behind.
As for a more specific card Smothering Tithe is really strong.

Nevinyrral's Disk , once armed, can be used on each of your turns since it will gain indestructible from your commander. Most versions are under $4. Voltaic Key if you want to try and use it the turn you cast it.

Yup, board wipe targeting everyone except yourself -- esp cards with extra value like Fumigate .
Def helpful to lean on white's stax/control cards in order to make it to turns 6-8 to cast Avacyn. Kismet is a nice budget add, in addition to everything SynergyBuild mentioned.
Can also be fun to play heavy on white counters, since no one expects them -- Mana Tithe , Dawn Charm , etc.

Thanks guys i am including those. Love destroying everything lol. My deck will include lots of random good white creatures so i feel like ill destract them to with that to get to turn 8. Like serra ascendant, archanhel of thune.lots of different life gain and combat creatures.

oh also forgot to mention - cards like Guardian of the Gateless or Palace Guard are busted once Avacyn is in play... Even go wide token decks can't do anything to you (only trample).
