Instagram is a fun and quirky way to share your life with friends through a series of pictures. Snap a photo with your mobile phone, and then choose a filter to transform the image into a memory to keep around forever. That's the basic function of instagram and It allows people to constantly follow their favorite stars in every facet of their day-to-day lives.
That being said, I'm not gonna lie but the other reason people use instagram is to, well, look at hot women. I said it.
Lindsey Vonn is a babe. Gaining fame from her gold medal win in the Downhill event at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games Vonn's natural relationship with the camera morphed her into America's sweetheart in the months following her 2010 Olympic success. Adding her sense of humor that also attracts people to her and she is well liked by almost everyone. Add in the last ingredient (the tight skiing suit) and you have a mass following. This is quite evident in her 294,000 followers.
Leryn Franco is a true beauty from Paraguay who has two passions: competing on the track field and looking totally bad while doing it. She became an Internet sensation back in 2008 during the Beijing Olympics but has since sort of been forgotten, don't worry Leryn, we haven't forgotten about you. How could we..
The 22-year-old Norwegian snowboard sensation Silje Norendal is one of the biggest names in the game. She took home the gold in women's slopestyle at the Winter X Games Europe back in 2013 and represented her country in Sochi for the Winter Olympics. She is a must follow.
Surfer chicks are as awesome as you would assume, but Anastasia Ashley is another breed. The true beach bum, who resides in Oahu, travels the world hitting the swells and breaking hearts. She is also the Olympian who twerks as her part of her warm-up routine.
Alex Morgan is a household name by now for her incredible Olympic gold medal run at the 2012 London Olympics. But she's much more than just a one-trick pony. When you combine pure athletic talent and natural beauty, this is what you're going to get. When she's not on the pitch, you'll find Alex at the beach AND she's sponsored by Nike.
"Rowdy" Ronda Rousey is hands-down the toughest chick in all of sports. Known for her ripped body and her incredible strength and agility, Rousey is world renowned for her martial arts skills. The consensus is that she is the #1 pound-for-pound female MMA fighter in the world. Despite competing in a barbaric sport, Ronda is actually quite classy… check her instagram.
Alana Blanchard is the reason we have Instagram. People always want to talk about Cali girls, but Alana is proving that the best talent has drifted out to the Pacific, as the Kauai beauty is also one of the sickest surfers.
women's field hockey probably doesn't have too much of a following. However, there are some gorgeous women who play the game professionally, and Ellen Hoog is one of them. Besides the medals she's won, Ellen is also known for her popular Instagram account. She has a nice blend of personality photos as well as photos that show off her athleticism. Currently, she has 68,400 followers.

Reliance Jio opposes 'bailout' for Airtel, Vodafone Idea
2019-10-31 2019-11-11 | Sreejiraj Eluvangal
Reliance Jio, India's largest telecom operator by volume of traffic carried, has opposed any 'bailout package' for Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea, claiming that the two companies have enough assets to pay the back taxes and other dues reinstated by the Supreme Court last week.
Instead, Reliance Jio said the government should look at implementing some of the long-promised reforms that would bring benefits to all telecom players alike.
Jio's letter to the government comes close on the heels of the Cellular Operators' Association of India (COAI) — which represents the interests of players such as Vodafone Idea and Bharti Airtel — urged the government to give financial support to players who have been hit by liabilities of around Rs 1 lakh cr after a recent judgment by the Supreme Court.
"We submit that COAI's intent of using this as an opportunity to seek non-enforcement of the Supreme Court judgement and asking for relief is strongly objected by RJIL. The Judgement of Hon. Supreme Court is final and to be implemented as law of the land. These operators have capacity and enough monetisation possibilities to comfortably pay government dues," Jio said.
"In view of the above, we request the Government to reject the COAI demand for a financial relief on the Hon'ble Supreme Court Judgement and their other outstanding liabilities including the spectrum payments etc. and all operators should be mandated to deposit applicable amounts within the three months time period, as mandated by Hon'ble Supreme Court. It will not be out of context to mention that any such package which prima facie appears to mitigate perceived financial strains, if granted, is likely to raise similar demands from other sectors such as aviation," Jio said in its letter, a copy of which was released to the public today.
It is estimated that Bharti Airtel may have to pay around Rs 42,000 cr as a result of the Supreme Court judgment, while Vodafone Idea would have to shell out around Rs 40,000 cr.
The issue, which has been argued about in courts for two decades, relates to whether the government has a right to claim a part of the revenue generated by telecom operators from their non-core operations, such as handset sales and media distribution.
The original telecom licenses in India, issued in the early 90s, contained a provision for a fixed fee as well as free spectrum.
However, by late 90s, it was clear that high license fees were killing the sector, leaving little money for telecom operators to invest. The government, in response, offered a new 'revenue share' option under which it would take 15% of the total service revenue, instead of a fixed fee. The government would continue to give spectrum without any separate charge, increasing the amount of spectrum allocated as subscriber numbers expanded.
Telecom operators, who at the time were making only a tiny fraction of the revenue that they currently make, seized the opportunity and moved over to the revenue share regime.
By the early 2000s, mobile telephony took off big time in India, boosting the operators' revenue, as well as the government's cut.
At this point, the telecom operators filed a case against the government's demands for a share of their overall revenue, including that from things such as the sale of ringtones and handsets.
The case, filed before Telecom Disputes Settlement and Appellate Tribunal in 2003, were largely won by the telecom operators, with the tribunal broadly upholding the principle that a revenue share under a license can only apply to the 'licensed activity' of the company, and not to all activities of the company.
This was challenged by the Government in the Supreme Court, which has — after a decade of hearings — overturned the tribunal's stand, opening a Pandora's box of liabilities for the operators.
In its letter, Reliance Jio blamed the operators for not setting apart a big enough fund from which to pay the government in case the case went against them. It also disputed the contention that the operators did not have enough money to pay the money demanded of them.
"..these service providers are themselves responsible for this issue, they were aware of the Government's position and Hon'ble Supreme Court's position as early as 2008 and 2011. However, in a most cavalier manner they continued to pay Government dues, as per their own interpretation, and are thus fully responsible for the current obligations emerging out of Hon'ble Supreme Court order.
"Further, we believe that they are internally also prepared for this but are currently just forum shopping to get a relief by threatening the Government, when the talks of perceived global economic slowdown and job-loss are already in the air."
In case operators did not set apart money to meet such a liability, Jio said, action should be taken against them for violating accounting norms.
Jio also touched upon the question of low prices offered by Airtel and Vodafone Idea in response to Jio's own tariff schemes. Most operators offer 1.5 GB of data per day and unlimited calling for around Rs 160-180 per month.
Jio said these offers and schemes were 'below cost' and amounted to 'financial mismanagement'.
"..despite the COAI's and these two continued highlighting of the so-called financial stress, these service providers have chosen to continue with their below cost tariffs, especially when there is no competitive pressure compelling these tariffs. Thus clearly, the financial difficulties of these operators are an effect of their own commercial decisions and Government should not be obliged to bail them out for their own commercial failure and financial mismanagement. In fact, this also point out to the possibility of this so-called financial crisis just being a ruse to get relief from the Government," it said.
In the end, said Jio, it was not against reforms in the telecom sector — one of the most taxed segments of the industry in India.
Among the biggest peeves of the telecom operators in India has been that the government stopped giving free spectrum with the license around 8 years ago, but it continues to charge revenue share and license fee as if the spectrum is still given free. Telecom operators have spent lakhs of crores of rupees to 'purchase' spectrum, even though spectrum was supposed to be given free according to the original license.
However, Jio said, any such reforms should be directed at the industry as a whole, and not one or two players.
"We submit that the Government may consider the other industry issues of prospective rationalisation of levies and taxes as envisaged in NDCP-2018 and GST credit separately and not permit the COAI to intermix the investment infusing financial package for industry by mixing it with the legitimate license fee and SUC obligations arising out of past conduct of operators.

Innovations from Kyocera, BMW and E Ink, Quanergy, and Innoviz, while Luminar and Volvo outline autonomous vehicle launch.
Switchable chassis
Optics-inspired innovation has once again made an impact at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2022) in Las Vegas, with automotive lidar to the fore. Here's our round-up of some notable announcements from the Las Vegas event:
• Kyocera's SLD Laser (KSLD) subsidiary - the company originally set up by blue laser diode pioneer Shuji Nakamura and UC Santa Barbara colleagues - claims to have set a new world record for 'LiFi' communications.
According to the Californian firm, its demonstration of a data rate in excess of 90 Gb/s is more than 100 times faster than a 5G link.
The high-speed links are based around KSLD's "LaserLight" emitters, which operate in both the visible and infrared regions of the spectrum. The same sources can be used for night vision, optical power transmission, lidar, and dynamic lighting applications, states the firm.
CEO James Raring added: "To pioneer the future of lighting and wireless connectivity, our ultra-high speed LiFi technology is eye-safe, impervious to ambient lighting, secure, efficient, and RF-free.
"KSLD is commercializing LiFi solutions for customers in mobility applications, automotive, and undersea, as well as RF-sensitive environments such as airplane cabins, smart factories, healthcare, secure government facilities, and smart cities."
• Digital paper pioneer E Ink, which spun out of MIT's Media Lab back in 1997 but is now headquartered in Taiwan, has teamed up with auto giant BMW to create a color-changing concept car (see image, above).
The "iX Flow" vehicle uses E Ink's programmable "Prism" optical films to alter reflectivity, and switch the car's appearance between white and black. According to E Ink, the films comprise millions of tiny microcapsules filled with white and black pigments that can be moved up or down using an electric field.
The E Ink material is bistable – meaning that power is only needed to switch color, not to maintain it. The company suggests that as well as enabling vehicle personalization, the technology can help maximize efficiency by using a white exterior on hot days to reflect sunlight, and switching to a black exterior to absorb heat on cold days.
"Because E Ink is incredibly low power and durable, we can put our display technology on almost any surface, transforming a once static space into something dynamic and spectacular - and sustainable," stated the firm.
• Lidar company Luminar Technologies and Volvo revealed launch plans for the car firm's forthcoming electric vehicle, which will feature Luminar's "Iris" lidar sensor as standard.
The new SUV, slated to appear some time this year, will represent the first introduction of Volvo's "Ride Pilot" feature, described as "an unsupervised autonomous driving capability for highways".
The plan is to launch the vehicle in California initially, although that remains subject to safety verification by the state. For the verification process, Volvo has applied for a testing permit with the California Department of Transportation and intends to begin testing on highways in the middle of the year.
Luminar founder and CEO Austin Russell said: "With Luminar as standard on every vehicle, [Volvo's] next SUV has the opportunity to be the safest vehicle ever produced, while also being the first to enable true autonomy and at highway speed."
Here we go #CES2022. Visit us at booth #5543 West Hall; see live demos of lidar-powered Proactive Safety™ on our outdoor test track and tune in for our $LAZR news conference with @volvocars and @zenseact starting at 10:15amPT here: https://t.co/qmlwfsTRqv. pic.twitter.com/LFsAXU681r

• Among several companies touting new lidar technology, Quanergy Systems said that it has doubled the range of its chip-based optical phased array (OPA) sensor.
The demo included detection and tracking of a target with 10 per cent reflectivity mounted on a vehicle stationed 200 meters away, and a person wearing dark clothes who approached the vehicle from that distance.
Quoted in Quanergy's release, analyst James Hodgson from ABI Research said: "Its range performance, CMOS-based process, coupled with its ability to operate with no moving parts with a very high mean-time-between failures, positions OPA as the leading technology for high manufacturing scale automotive applications, expected to surpass Digital MEMS and Flash."
Quanergy co-founder and chief development officer Tianyue Yu added that the OPA offered "highest reliability" with no moving parts, alongside adaptive zoom to focus on any obstacle, and active scanning to enable steering capability and flexibility to collect a point cloud in any pattern.
"These attributes provide for high-volume, high-yield, low-cost manufacturing," Yu said. Quanergy is the latest of several lidar companies to seek finance through a stock market listing, and expects to close its special-purpose acquisitions company (SPAC) merger deal with CITIC Capital Acquisition Corporation by the end of March 2022.
• Israel's Innoviz Technologies says that its new "Innoviz360" product offers high-definition lidar at a significantly lower cost than existing lidar systems.
Said to offer 360x64-degree coverage, 0.05x0.05-degree resolution, up to 1280 scanning lines, plus a range of 300 meters, the sensor will be aimed at deployments in robotaxis, shuttles, and autonomous trucks, alongside non-automotive applications.
That could include logistics, mapping, and smart infrastructure uses, with Innoviz saying that it expects to begin sampling the product by the end of this year, and for it to begin generating revenues from 2023.
The Innoviz360 is said to be compatible with systems including Nvidia's "Drive", a development platform and reference architecture for designing and deploying autonomous vehicles.

In vRealize Operations Manager, you use alerts on a group to review the summary alert information for hosts and virtual machine descendant objects so that you can see how the state of one object type can affect the state of the other.
As a network operations center engineer, you are responsible for monitoring a group of hosts and virtual machines for the sales department. As part of your daily tasks, you check the state of the objects in the group to determine if there are any immediate problems or any upcoming problems based on generated alerts. To do this you start with your group of objects, particularly the host systems in the group, and review the information in the Summary tab.
In this example, the group includes the following object alerts.
The following method of evaluating alerts on the Summary tab is provided as an example for using vRealize Operations Manager and is not definitive. Your troubleshooting skills and your knowledge of the particulars of your environment determine which methods work for you.
Create a group that includes virtual machines and the hosts on which they run. For example, Sales Dept VMs and Hosts. For an example of how to create a similar group, see Create a Custom Accounting Department Group.
Review how the Summary tab works with object groups and related hierarchies. See Evaluating Object Summary Information.
In the center pane, click the Groups tab and click your Sales Dept VMs and Hosts group.
To view the alerts for a host and the associated child virtual machines, in the left pane, click Host System and click the host name in the lower left pane.
The Summary tab displays the Health, Risk, and Efficiency badges, the top alerts for the host. Because the group is still the focus, the alerts for the child virtual machines do not appear in the Top Alerts for Descendants widgets.
To view the Summary tab for the host so that you can also work with the child virtual machines, click the right arrow to the right of the host name in the lower left pane.
Select the vSphere Hosts and Clusters, located in the upper part of the left pane.
To work with alerts for child virtual machines, the host in the vSphere Hosts and Clusters hierarchy must be the focus of the Summary tab rather than the host as member of the object group.
To view the alert details for an alert in the Top Health Alert pane, click the Host has memory contention caused by a few virtual machines alert name.
When multiple objects are affected, and you click the alert link to view the details, the Health Issues dialog box appears. If there is only one object affected, the Alert Details Summary tab for the object is displayed.
On the Alert Details Summary tab, begin evaluating the recommendations and triggered symptoms.
A recommendation for this generated alert is to move some virtual machines with high memory workload from this host to a host with more available memory.
To return to the object Summary tab so that you can review alerts for any descendant virtual machines, click the back button located to the left of the left pane toolbar icons.
The host is again the focus of the object Summary tab. Generated alerts for the child virtual machines appear in one or more of the Top Alerts for Descendants panes.
Click on each virtual machine alert and evaluate the information provided on the Alert Details Summary tab.
The recommendation is to add more memory to this virtual machine.
If one or more virtual machines are experiencing high workload, this situation is probably contributing to the host memory contention alert. These virtual machines are candidates for moving to a host with more available memory. Moving the virtual machines can resolve the host memory contention alert and the virtual machine alert.
The recommendations include increasing or removing the CPU limits on this virtual machine.
If one or more virtual machines are demanding more CPU than is configured, and the host is experiencing memory contention, then you cannot add CPU resources to the virtual machine without further stressing the host. These virtual machines are candidates for moving to a host with more available memory. Moving the virtual machines would allow you to increase the CPU count and resolve the virtual machine alert, and might resolve the host memory contention alert.
Based on your evaluation, take action based on the child virtual machine recommendations.
After you take action, it will take a few collection cycles to determine if your actions resolved the virtual machine and host alerts.
After a few collection cycles, look again at your Sales VMs and Hosts group to determine if the alerts are canceled and no longer appear in the object Summary tab. If the alerts are still present, see User Scenario: Investigate the Root Cause of a Problem by Using the Troubleshooting Tab Options for an example troubleshooting workflow.


Hannah is my 16 year daughter. She has had problems with her ears since she was born. Constant trips to gp pediatric Dr for antibiotics for ear infections and get big injection on antibiotics when it wouldn't clear up. There was no bouncing on hearing test on tympanic telling us she was having trouble hearing. She had tubes put in and didn't help at all. This went on until she was 2. She eventually looked like she had a stroke on her left side of her face. Ent refered us to Vanderbilt. She had mri done. Dr found ctoma on left side. Of course this took awhile because Dr was specialist ent and getting the mri. She had her first surgery in third grade. the ctoma had hit the facial nerve and destroyed all three hearing bones. Unfortunately the right side decided to grow ctoma after that and she had another surgery a year later. Then the left went again .left again. Right again. Left again. Right again. Left again with cwd. Then we thought she was doing good, no smelly green snot drainage coming out, but dangerous situation occurred. There was drainage going on but it was trapped in middle ear. It was destroying her right ear canal and eating her skull bone behind ear. It exposed her brain lining and almost caused infection in brain. She doing well now having clean dry ears for almost a year. She wears a bte hearing aid on right. She also had the BAHA implant done recently on the left.
What is the prevalence of Cholesteatoma?


shocking, they also sell on ebay and get terrible feedback. Conmen through and through, stay well clear. Masks that are described as Venetian have a made in china sticker on the back. Pretty sure they also write there own reviews as if you read the positives they are similar and always regular customers...just how many masked balls do these people attend??
Add me to the list of unhappy customers. I too ordered a mask i have never received. I emailed and rang but the man who is the owner i believe was curt to the point of rudeness. Also despite all the excuses under the sun i have neither a mask or a refund. After doing some research it would appear this site has rather a lot of unhappy customers, all very vocal about the site and its owner! Will not shop there again and will be contacting trading standards.
I originally placed my order in november. I ordered a mask and sent a cheque for payment. Several days after my cheque had been banked the mask had still not been sent for delivery. By the time it arrived it was too late and it was the wrong colour. So I sent the mask back recorded delivery as instructwed and asked for a full refund. I am still trying to get a cheque sent to me more than 2 months later.
The director of the company is still advising me that he is processing my refund. Not only is it taking forever the customer service is shociking, he is quite abrupt with me which I think is a bit cheeky given the situation.


I'm working on a PEP that builds on top of PEP 543 and addresses some issues like IDNA #28414, OpenSSL/LibreSSL compatibility, hostname verification, verification chain, and TLS 1.3. As part of the PEP implementation, I'll add a certificate class.
I don't to introduce yet another way to load a certificate. The C code is already complicated enough.

Lithosphere – solid outer part of the Earth
Subject: Geography Topic: Article
The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of the Earth. It is made up of the brittle crust and the top part of the upper mantle. It is a rigid, rocky outer layer of the Earth, consisting of the crust and the solid outermost layer of the upper mantle. It extends to a depth of about 60 miles (100 km). The most well-known feature associated with Earth's lithosphere is tectonic activity. It comprises the crust and the upper portion of the mantle which is stiff and rigid and behaves elastically over millions of years.
The lithosphere is the rocky outer part of the Earth. It is thinnest at mid-ocean ridges, where tectonic plates are tearing apart from each other.
The lithosphere is the outer part of the solid earth composed of rock essentially like that exposed at the surface, consisting of the crust and outermost layer of the mantle, and usually considered to be about 60 miles (100 kilometers) in thickness. It includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is broken into about a dozen separate, rigid blocks, or plates. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below.
The Lithosphere includes the crust and the upper mantle
The lithosphere is the coolest and most rigid part of the Earth. Slow convection currents deep within the mantle, generated by radioactive heating of the interior, are believed to cause the lateral movements of the plates (and the continents that rest on top of them) at a rate of several inches per year. The lithosphere is about 100 km thick, although its thickness is age-dependent (the older lithosphere is thicker). The lithosphere below the crust is brittle enough at some locations to produce earthquakes by faulting, such as within a subducted oceanic plate. The crust overlying the lithospheric mantle is either of an oceanic type which is mainly composed of gabbroic and basaltic rocks resulting in a mean density of 3.0 g/cm3, or of continental type with a gabbroic/granulitic layer at its base and a variety of rock types in the upper part formed by magmatic differentiation, metamorphism, etc.
There are two types of lithosphere: oceanic lithosphere and continental lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere is associated with oceanic crust and is slightly denser than the continental lithosphere. The oceanic lithosphere consists mainly of mafic (rich in magnesium and iron) crust and ultramafic(over 90% mafic) mantle and is denser than the continental lithosphere. It thickens as it ages and moves away from the mid-ocean ridge. The continental lithosphere is also called the continental crust. It is the layer of igneous, sedimentary rock that forms the continents and the continental shelves. This layer consists mostly of granitic rock.

Sri Lanka Shippers' Council to celebrate its 50th Anniversary this year
The Sri Lanka Shippers' Council, the first National Shippers' Council to be set up in Asia in 1966, will celebrate the significant milestone of 50 years since its formation, on March 23, 2016.
The SLSC was established on a recommendation by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) that shippers' councils should be established in order that they could negotiate collectively with shipping conferences.
UNCTAD delved into many sectors of the world economy with the objective of creating a reasonable balance between the advanced and the developing countries. One area it identified for remedial action was shipping, and one segment identified within the shipping sector was the relationship between shipping conferences on the one side, which carried most of the world's trade except for oil and bulk products, and shippers on the other, i.e., exporters and importers, the sellers and buyers of the cargo.
While the shipping conferences were well organized bodies whose members were individual shipping lines or groups, which fixed freight rates and the frequency of service, the individual shippers who provided the cargo were usually unorganized and acted as individuals. Powerful cartels of ship-owners could, and often did, exploit their power over rates and services at the expense of shippers.
The Ministry of Commerce, the implementing body in the island, convened a meeting of both shippers and shipping conferences, explained the background, and requested the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, as the senior Chamber, to set up a Shippers' Council for Ceylon.
Starting from scratch, the Shippers' Council of Ceylon (SC) was set up in 1966, consisting of representatives of the leading export trades as members. Mr. Mallory Wijesinghe, then Chairman of the Chamber, was appointed Chairman of the SC. The Chamber undertook the secretarial work of the SC. The SC was therefore representative of the export trades – the shippers – led at the highest level.
To celebrate 50 years of achievement, the Sri Lanka Shippers' Council has planned a series of events during 2016, which will commence with a tree planting campaign in the Port of Hambantota, at which the Minister of Ports and Shipping, the Hon. Arjuna Ranatunga will be the chief guest, along with related heads of Government Agencies who will also be present at the event.
To coincide with its 50th Anniversary, the SLSC will host the Annual General Meeting of the Global Shippers Forum for the year 2016, in Colombo. The Global Shippers' Forum (GSF) is the world's leading trade association for shippers engaged in international trade moving goods by all modes of transport. This will be the first time that the Annual general Meeting of the GSF will be hosted in Asia.
The age of an organization says nothing about the strength of its origin, its vitality in terms of service innovation, or even its culture at any special moment in time. SLSC is at the mid-point in a century of care. There is certainly much to consider when preparing for such a landmark occasion.
These events will look forward to the developments and opportunities in the next 50 years and celebrate the past achievements of the SLSC.
The Chairman of the SLSC, Sean Van Dort, stated that, ''This is a great opportunity for us to show case our country and its capabilities to the world and to recognize the SLSC's past Chairmen and Council Members whose significant contributions have uplifted the standards of the SLSC and have ensured that the voice of the Shipper was heard in this country''.


I have to start by saying I think that Tony Bidulka is handsome and charming. But do I let that prejudice my opinion of his books?
Fortunately, that's not a problem, because Amuse Bouche is just as charming as Tony himself is. It's evocative and well-written; it made me want to jump on a plane and head right for France, where his first big case takes rookie private eye Russell Quant.
The mystery is intriguing, and I love that Russell keeps a file he calls "red herrings," which are there to tantalize and mislead the reader as well, yet are cleverly wrapped up by the end of the book.
No, this isn't about aviation; rather, it refers to the use of the word "flight" to mean a group of wines (or in this case liquors) that all have something in common.
Russell learns more about his enigmatic neighbor Sereena Orion Smith here, and gets a trip to New York. Another fine book!
I enjoyed this book, the first of the Russell Quant books I read. Russell, a former police officer who is now a private detective, is surprised to be offered a job by the granddaughter of a woman who lives in Victoria, British Columbia. But it turns out the woman, a lesbian and matriarch of a family fortune, wants a gay detective to accompany her family on a gay cruise through the Mediterranean and determine which one wants to kill her.
I'll bet Tony Bidulka had a fabulous time researching this book, and he creates lots of fun places and things along the cruise, run by a line called FOD, or Friends of Dorothy. I finally understood the title by the end of the book-- a tapa was originally a plate used to cover a bottle of wine, and there are lots of secrets for Russell to uncover here.
This was really an intriguing read. Do you believe in the bogeyman? Do you think someone can be scared-- literally-- to death? That's the heart of Russell's case.
I loved the Canadian settings, including Russell's trip to the far north, and relished the chance to learn more about Sereena and Russell's mysterious uncle, the one whose bequest enabled Russell to change his life and become a private eye.
I finally got a chance to read this book, and as expected, loved it. A recent widow asks Russell to track down her estranged son, and the quest takes him to some strange places-- an old age home in Saskatoon, a safari in Africa, and the arms of a beautiful woman!
At this point, Russell seems like an old friend, and I'm always delighted to catch up with him. The last line of the book is a real shocker-- but we'll have to wait years to find out what it means.
Tony and I talked for a while about putting our detectives together somehow. Then one day he emailed to say that he wanted to include Kimo in Russell's newest adventure, which begins in Hawaii. I was delighted, especially because I got a sneak preview of part of the book when Tony sent me the Kimo chapters for review.
Of course, Tony was a sneak, and only sent those chapters, so I had to wait like the rest of the world to see the whole book. It didn't disappoint! Russell spends most of the book in Saskatchewan on a kind of treasure hunt-- and you might be surprised at the ending-- but I wasn't. A wonderful addition to the series.

Photos+ lets you watch the GIFs you've saved on iPhone
A pro camera roll app that also bundles in maps and EXIF data viewing

photos+ for iphone
If you want to watch a GIF you've saved to your iPhone, you've thus far been mostly out of luck. In order to watch that urban samurai GIF on your phone, you need to drop it into an iMessage, or view it on the web. Photos+ is a new app for iPhone that builds on the features present in Apple's stock Photos app with some key new features, including GIF support. The app presents your photos chronologically in a full-screen mosaic view, and lets you play GIFs by tapping on them. It's on sale today for $2.99 in the App Store.
Aside from GIF support, Photos+ also lets you view the EXIF for any photo, which should please camera nerds, and the ability to see where a photo was taken on a map. You can view collections of photos on a map in the iPhone's Photos app, but not one by one as you can in Photos+. You can also organize photos inside albums, but you can't edit or delete photos using Photos+, unfortunately, since Apple doesn't allow developers access to editing the phone's onboard camera roll. There's also, oddly, no support for viewing photos in landscape mode in version one. But, if you're looking for a quick way to watch a GIF, check the aperture, or see the location of a recent photo, Photos+ is a great complement to the iPhone's Photos app.

Abstract:- This paper discusses the use of a cascaded multilevel converter for flexible power conditioning in smart-grid applications.The main feature of the proposed scheme is the use of independent dc links with reduced voltages, which makes such a topology an ideal candidate for medium-and high-power applications with increased reliability.The advantages of CHB inverter are low harmonic distortion, reduced number of switches and suppression of switching losses.CHB converters are being considered for the increasing number of applications due to their high power capability associated with low output harmonics and low commutation losses.The modified inverter can produce a better sinusoidal waveform by increasing the number of output voltage levels.Byserial connection of two modified H- bridge modules,it is possible to produce 9 output voltage levels including zero.From the results,the proposed inverter provide higher output quality with relatively lower power loss as compared to other conventional inverters with the same output quality.
Keyword:- Cascaded H bridge multilevel inverter(CHB),Pulse width modulation, Total Harmonic Distortion(THD).
Multilevel power conversion has become increasingly popular in recent years due to advantages of high power quality waveforms,low electromagnetic compatibility(EMC).concerns,low switching losses, and high voltage capability however, it increase the number of switching devices and other components,which results in an increase of complexity problems andsystem cost.There are different types of multilevel circuits involved.The firsttopology introduced was the series H-bridge design.
Multilevel inverters have an arrangement of power switching devices and capacitor voltage sources. Multilevel inverters are suitable for high-voltage applications because of their ability to synthesize output voltage waveforms with a better harmonic spectrum and attain higher voltages with a limited maximum device rating.There are three main types of multilevel inverters:diode-clamped (neutral- clamped),capacitor-clamped(flying capacitors),and cascaded H bridge inverter.
The cascaded H-bridge inverter has drawn tremendous interest due to the greater demand of medium-voltage high- power inverters.The cascaded inverter uses series strings of single-phase full-bridge inverters to construct multilevel bridge is shown. The output of each H-bridge can have three discrete levels,results in a staircase waveform that is nearly sinusoidal even without filtering.A single H-bridge is a three-level inverter.There is a growing interest in multilevel topologies since they can extend are the most attractive technology for the medium to high voltage rang,which includes motor drives,powerdistribution,power quality and power conditioning applicationsphase legs with separate dc sources.A single H-electronics systems to higher voltages the application of power and power ratios.Multilavel inverters .
Symmetric multilevel inverters are characterized by the face that the voltages across the different dc link capacitors are equal. In the symmetric inverter,four cells consists four switches are needed to generate Nine-level voltage is shownin fig. Asymmetric multilevel inverter is same as symmetric multilevel inverter circuit configuration;the only difference is the dc link voltages.Using different dc link voltages in different power cells and application the appropriate switching methods , the number of output voltage levels increases.Therefore,with less number of H bridge cells,more output voltage levels can be obtained.It is important to mention that the switches applied in the symmetric inverter have the same off-stage voltage,but in the asymmetric inverter, the number of switches can be different.Hence asymmetric cascaded H-bridge inverter increases the number of output voltage levels.
In proposes system the control of a cascaded multilevel inverter with individual H-bridge DC-link voltage regulation,applied for selective compensation or minimization of particular load disturbances,under a variety of voltage condition.The presented control method is modular,and it can be adapted to any number of modules in series.CPT is used as an alternative for generating a variety of current references in the stationary frame,for selective disturbances mitigation and if needed,active power injection.The proposed system increases the level of system seven level to nine level for reduced THD of system.
,which is comprised of inner and outer control loops.The inner loop regulates the inverter output current at the desired reference,and theouterloop regulates the dc-link voltages in each H-bridge.
The simulation is done for different levels in order to obtain the optimum solution on the quality of the output waveforms. The same control technique is used to simulate the different levels with different carrier frequencies irrespective of the levels,5kHz results better performance when compared to other carrier frequencies.Therefore the same carrier frequency is considered for the simulation irrespective of the cascaded configuration.
Multilevel inverters have become an effective and practical solution for increasing power and reducing harmonics of Ac wave form. This project deals with the design an implementation of Three-phase nine-level cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter for RL load with PWM modulation method.The simulation of 9-level cascaded H-bridge is done and also power quality improvement.Accordingly,the compensation strategy should meet the overall goals,within limits defined by regulatory standards,electricity operating constraints,and that is still favorable from the viewpoint of cost.This is important regarding the appropriation of responsibilities in the case of smart microgrids or modern power grids.

Unfortunately, the G1 is not able to record video. Having a movie capture mode would have increased its appeal a lot more. Read the full G1 specs for more information.
Download the Panasonic G1 Manual.
The flash takes only about 1.5 seconds to recycle. This is a far better performance than most compact digicams.
With a Class 6 SDHC card, the G1 can capture bursts at a consistent rate of 3.15 fps (frames per second). Five RAW + Large Fine JPEG gets written to the card in 3.5 seconds. You can shoot practically unlimited Large Fine JPEGs in burst mode. One negative of the Continuous mode is that you don't get to see a live view of the moving subjects, only the shots that have been captured.
Two photos are provided to compare the size of the G1 next to the Canon XS / 1000D, here's the view from the front, and from the top. The G1 is noticeably smaller.
Panasonic G1 review at Gizmodo — This is a fairly well-written, hands-on review. There is a photo comparing the size of the G1 vs. the Canon XT / 350D.
Adapter to mount standard Four Thirds lenses.
ISO test series until ISO3200, reduced-sized.

Denny Hamlin Overcomes NASCAR Cup Series Chaos To Win Wild Coca-Cola 600 Sunday
Story By: REID SPENCER / NASCAR – CONCORD, NC – Sunday night's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway started with Denny Hamlin out front and ended with Denny Hamlin out front.
What happened in-between defied belief. And a driver who claims to thrive in chaos proved to be a man of his word.
Hamlin won the longest race in NASCAR history—619.5 miles—in two overtimes, beating Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch to the finish line by .014 seconds.
With the victory—the second this season and the 48th of his career—Hamlin now holds trophies in all three of NASCAR's Crown Jewel races: the Daytona 500, Coca-Cola 600 and Southern 500. Kevin Harvick is the only other active driver with all three titles.
Hamlin's victory spoiled what could have been one of the most astonishing comebacks in racing history. Kyle Larson started from the rear in a repaired car, suffered three pit road penalties, a spin off Turn 4 and a fire in his pit stall but—miraculously—was leading the race on the next-to-last lap of regulation when Chase Briscoe spun underneath him while battling for the lead and caused the 17th caution of the night.
A wreck on the first attempt at overtime collected Larson's No. 5 Chevrolet and scrambled the running order, leaving Hamlin in the lead on four fresh tires.
"The first half (of the race) was a struggle for all of us," said Larson, who finished ninth. "I was especially frustrated with myself. To rebound from that and have a shot to win there late was something to be proud of. Our team fought really hard. Happy with that.
"Briscoe was really good, that long run there. Wish we would have just been a little bit better so he never would have got to me, ultimately spin."
After the second overtime restart, Hamlin and Busch battled side-by-side until Hamlin pulled ahead on Lap 412 of 413, 13 laps beyond the scheduled distance. Busch rallied but couldn't get back to Hamlin's bumper.
"It's so special," Hamlin said. "It's the last big one that's not on my résumé. It meant so much.
"Man, we weren't very good all day. Just got ourselves in the right place at the right time. What a battle there!"
Hamlin, however, was far from the likely winner as the race unfolded. Daniel Suarez arguably had the fastest car. His Trackhouse Racing teammate, Ross Chastain, led 153 laps—more than any other driver.
In the closing stages of regulation, it appeared for all the world that Larson and Briscoe would decide the outcome between them, until Briscoe spun as he was attempting to pass the reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion to the inside.
But in the first attempt at overtime, Austin Dillon's bold move on four fresh tires to Larson's two went awry off Turn 4, damaging seven cars and setting up Hamlin's win in the second overtime.
That was merely the concluding chapter in a five-hour thriller.
On a night that already had seen a surfeit of breathtaking action, Suarez's Chevrolet turned sideways on Lap 346 after contact with Briscoe's Ford an ignited a four-car wreck that ended with Chris Buescher's Ford barrel-rolling five times through the frontstretch infield and landing on its roof.
Buescher climbed from his car uninjured, but a strong run for the Roush Fenway Keselowski driver ended abruptly. So did a remarkable run from Suarez, who had led four times for 38 laps, only to lose spots on every pit stop, with the cars of Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin blocking his egress from pit road.
"I'm going to be a bit sore tomorrow," Buescher said after an obligatory trip to the infield care center. "I haven't been upside-down in a really long time. The team did a really nice job. We had great speed and had a chance at this thing, it just didn't work out."
The opening laps of the event were an omen of things to come.
How intense was the racing? Here's a microcosm: The first lap ended in a dead heat, with Kurt Busch nosing ahead of Hamlin by less than one thousandth of a second. Racing side-by-side with Hamlin, Busch extended his lead to .004 seconds on Lap 2—roughly six inches.
A determined Hamlin regained the top spot on Lap 3, but only by .011 seconds. The opening action set the tone for the entire race, which produced 31 lead changes between 13 different drivers.
But what happened at the front of the field was multiplied exponentially by aggressive, close-quarters racing throughout the pack.
On Lap 192—eight laps short of the halfway point—the close-quarters competition ended badly. In the second turn after a restart following the 10th caution, Ryan Blaney's No. 12 Ford hooked the apron with the left-front tire and spun sideways.
That misstep triggered a 13-car wreck that eliminated the contending cars of Blaney, Kurt Busch and William Byron.
"I was tucked up tight behind the 8 (Tyler Reddick), and he was kind of lower than I thought on the frontstretch and kind of ran through the turf, and then got to (Turn) 1 and jerked right," Blaney said after the wreck.
"I think he was up behind the 99 (Suarez) and thinking he was going hit the apron, and I didn't have time to kind of get right, and I just kind of hit the apron and got me loose. I hate that other cars got tore up."
That wreck wouldn't be the last. By the end of the race, 17 pf the 37 cars that started the event already sat in the garage in various states of disrepair.
Kevin Harvick soldiered to a third-place finish, followed by Briscoe and Christopher Bell. Tyler Reddick, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Michael McDowell, Larson and Alex Bowman completed the top 10.

We're chronicling 100 days of Indy 500 history on #SpeedRead leading up to the historic 100th Running. With 21 days to go, we're digging deep into the IMS photo vault.
Last week, we took a dive into the IMS photo vault for classic A.J. Foyt photos from the 1950s and 1960s, finding no shortage of tremendous photos of arguably the greatest Indy 500 legend of them all.
The majority of Foyt's record 35 consecutive "500" starts came from 1970-92, so that demanded a run back into the vault for more. We've emphasized shots with fellow drivers and some that perhaps even the biggest Foyt fans perhaps haven't seen before.
With Johnny Rutherford in 1972.
Looking over the Coyote with Johnny Parsons in the cockpit in 1973.
These fans loved Foyt on the pole in 1974, alas he finished 15th.
Spending a casual moment with Bobby Unser and Gordon Johncock in 1975.
Taking a famous ride with Tony Hulman after his fourth and final win in 1977. Hulman died later that year.
File this under "things you'd never see today": In 1978, Foyt's car ran out of gas at the end of the race, and fans flowed out of the infield to push it back to the pits.
Roger Penske, Rick Mears, Foyt. No legends in this picture, eh?

THE Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the United Kingdom (UK) issued a travel warning Sunday, January 27, against all travel to western and central Mindanao and the Sulu archipelago, as well as all but essential travel to the south of Cebu.
According to its website, the advisory was released due to reports of terrorism.
"The FCO advise against all but essential travel to the remainder of Mindanao (excluding Camiguin, Dinagat and Siargao Islands) and to the south of Cebu Province, up to and including the municipalities of Dalaguete and Badian, due to the threat of terrorism," the advisory said.
The advisory mentioned the bomb attack of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Jolo, Sulu, last Sunday that resulted in at least 20 deaths.
It also mentioned the possible increase of election-related violence leading up to the May 2019 elections.
Tourism stakeholders in Cebu, though, remained unfazed by the travel warning from the UK government, saying it was an isolated case. They said this would not dampen the arrivals to the province, which had been logging healthy arrivals since the start of the year.
But the Hotel, Resort and Restaurant Association of Cebu (HRRAC) did not discount the possibility of some cancellations.
"This travel advisory is an isolated case. It will not lessen the tourist arrival this month, but we may receive slight cancellation. But it would be minor. Tourist arrival in Cebu is still high," said HRRAC president Carlo Suarez.
Meanwhile, tourism advocate Jonathan Jay Aldeguer said he was puzzled why the southern part of Cebu was included in the advisory when it was far from where the bombing incident happened. But he was confident tourists would not be discouraged to visit Cebu.
"I'm puzzled how southern Cebu is included in the advisory. While any form of advisory can be detrimental to tourism, I don't think our bigger international markets that include the Chinese, Koreans and Japanese will be affected by this," said Aldeguer.
Moreover, Suarez wanted stakeholders and government to tighten security measures, especially during this election year.
The UK travel advisory cautioned its people about the May elections where additional security measures, such as extra security checks and roadblocks, would be put in place in many areas.
"It's not uncommon to see increases in election-related violence in the runup to elections. You should keep up to date with local activity and avoid demonstrations or large gatherings of people," said the travel advisory.
At the start of this year, the UK issued a warning against travel to Mindanao after an improvised explosive device exploded at the entrance of the South Seas shopping mall in Cotabato City on December 31. The warning, likewise, covered the south of Cebu, up to and including the towns of Dalaguete and Badian.
In a separate interview, Gov. Hilario Davide III urged the British government and other nations to conduct initial verification before including Cebu in their travel advisories.
Davide told reporters that despite the spate of killings that had occurred in Cebu, tourists in the province were safe.
The governor was also baffled that Cebu was included in the travel advisory when the Sunday bombings took place in Jolo, far from the Visayas regions.
"Whenever something bad happens in Mindanao, Cebu is always included (in their advisories). They should at least verify. We have been repeating this over and over, Cebu remains safe despite the killings involving local officials," Davide said in Cebuano.
However, Davide urged the public not to be complacent.
He was confident that local police and Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) personnel stationed in Cebu would implement measures to ensure that terrorist acts wouldn't reach the Visayas.
For Provincial Tourism Officer Joselito "Boboi" Costas, the high number of foreign nationals who visited southern Cebu may have been a factor in the inclusion of the province in travel advisories.
He said tourist arrivals in Cebu had not been affected, despite the earlier travel advisory issued by the UK government following the Cotabato mall bombing last December 31.
Costas pointed out that a lot of foreign tourists attended the recently concluded Suroy-Suroy in Southern Cebu last Friday, January 25.


...Any journos on here got it? Thoughts?
and i hope it's not very good.
Just read your review on Clash actually Mike.
it does grow on 'ee.
track of the day, today.
don't you mark things out of 10 there?
ignore the hype, they are a very good band underneath it all especially for guys who are so young, for once a genuinely exciting prospect as opposed to a lot of the dire out there. very interested to hear their album.
I can't wait to get hold of their album as the live shows I have attended have been amazing. Whatever critics may say Harry McVeighs voice is impressive live and they have some incredibly brilliant songs for such a young band.
I do agree with the reviewer each aspect of their songs can be traced to already written song, the drum beat for example in to lose my life is ripped completely from love will tear us apart, and Im also certain that Peter Hook wrote the bass for Death.

Renowned 'LulzSec' Hacker Could Walk Free
The United States government has recommended the court trying world-renowned hacker Hector Xavier Monsegur -- better known as "Sabu" -- show leniency. It's a controversial recommendation that could see the hacker walk out of court a free man later this week.
Monsegur has been in custody since 2011. He was once was a part of international hacking group LulzSec, which carried out a series of cyber crimes against major corporations, such as Sony. The group has also waged hacking campaigns against the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the U.S. Senate, and Infragard, a security firm that works with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Hacker Helps US Government Nab Other Cybercriminals
Monsegur played a key role in each of the cyber attacks. Eventually, the FBI learned of Monsegur's location and arrested him; they laid several charges, including hacking, credit card fraud, and identity theft. He later pleaded guilty to all three charges.
In the years that followed, Monsegur worked with the FBI to track down and arrest several other international hackers. In fact, the information Monsegur provided played a critical role in the arrest of Jeremy Hammond, a hacker who targeted global intelligence company Stratfor, otherwise known as Strategic Forecasting. Hammond is now serving a ten-year prison sentence.
Government Attorneys Recommend Sentence of Time Served
Now, it appears Monsegur will be rewarded for his cooperation. In a recent statement, U.S. government attorneys recommended a sentence of time served, citing Monsegur's "consistent and corroborated historical information, coupled with his substantial proactive cooperation." (Source: scribd.com)
According to the federal attorneys, without Monsegur's assistance -- including the provision of "detailed information regarding computer intrusions committed by [hacking groups]" -- it's possible Hammond and several other dangerous hackers would not have been found and arrested.
The federal attorneys' statement went on to suggest that Monsegur's assistance saved the U.S. government and major corporations "tens of millions of dollars" by preventing new hacking campaigns from being carried out. A Wall Street Journal story that reported that Monsegur had helped federal agents prevent 300 attacks planned by other hackers. (Source: cnet.com)
Had Monsegur not cooperated with the authorities, he could be facing a prison sentence of 21 to 26 years. Instead, US prosecutors are recommending a sentence of "time served" for Monsegur, which was 7 months starting in 2012. In other words, he would face no further jail time. (Source: theverge.com)
What do you think of hacking groups such as Anonymous and LulzSec? Do you think it's fair to release Hector Xavier "Sabu" Monsegur, given the importance of the information he provided to federal authorities? Or do you think it's wrong to drastically reduce the sentence of a major international hacker?

Time served and hire him and any of the others that he knows are hackers but would rather work on the other side of the fence.
Just as much fun but earning a legitimate salary and doing good.

Any leniency should require his continued work with the government. Otherwise he goes back to jail.

What's next? Giving time-served leniency to a serial killer because he knows a few others that he can turn in?
Anyways, nobody gets real time these days. Murderers might serve a few years, DUI manslaughter is about a year, if that. Crimes by high-level government employees aren't even prosecuted. And then there's politicians...

Clearly he should be working undercover for the government. So maybe we will never know if he actually gets long term employment with them.
It reminds me of when I was in college studying electrical engineering (1960s). AT&T was the only long distance carrier and long distance phone calls were MUCH more expensive than today, even without figuring inflation in. One of my classmates developed (and used) an electronic box that allowed him to make free long distance calls. When he was caught, rather than go to jail he accepted a job offer with AT&T.
