The JEE is not cakewalk. You cannot expect to crack it and get a good percentile if you are being lazy during the preparations. You can score well in the 12th standard board exams without working too hard, but hard work is just about another month away, so it is only wise to start early. You need to make sure that when you are looking at the JEE Main rank list predictor websites, you are excited, rather than anxious.
Start early– The most important point is, if you wait till the last moment, or even the last month to prepare for JEE, you will not get a rank high enough to get you into a decent college.
Merge with boards– You may panic a little because the 12th standard board exams and the JEE Mains are so close to each other. However, it is good to know that if you are thoroughly studying for your boards, you end up half prepared for the JEE.
Practice questions– The only additional thing you need to do for JEE Mains apart from studying your 12th syllabus thoroughly is, practice the last 10 years of JEE question papers so that you get a hang of the question pattern.
Time yourself– Many candidates are not able to complete their paper, or end up making silly mistakes because they ran short of time. If you time yourself while practicing the papers, you won't be one of them.
Make smart choices– This isn't about selective studying, but about selective answering. If you want a good rank in the JEE Main rank list predictor, skip questions you really have no idea of. Random guess work costs you a lot of negative marking.
Revise– This is as important as practicing a lot of question papers. You must revise the chapters and concepts numerous times beforehand, so that you don't waste time trying to figure out your way around a tricky question.
Mock tests– You must sit for as many mock tests as possible so that you have an idea about the question pattern of the upcoming exam, and also, have an idea of where you stand with your preparations. Just practicing alone at home does not help the confidence-building factor either.
It is not recommended to do selective studying at all. You should however prioritize the chapters according to the weight they carry in terms of points on the test. You need to know the important chapters, which see a slight change in the pattern every year. Your high school chapters must have a thorough base because around 60% of JEE questions are directly related to the ISC/CBSE syllabus.
It is difficult to give suggestions for Chemistry chapters. Follow the NCERT books and practice the mole concept variations and study inorganic chemistry thoroughly.
Study thoroughly, and take care of your health. Practice a lot of test papers and sit for mock tests, you will surely get a good rank in the JEE Main rank list predictor results.

Q: Django/JavaScript: how to share code between the two? I've got a Django application that makes heavy use of JavaScript, and I want to know the best practice for sharing code between the two.
Specifically, I have a page that works both with and without JavaScript:

*

*With JavaScript enabled, it uses jQuery autocomplete on an input field, and generates a table of results on autocomplete, all in client-side JavaScript.

*With JavaScript, if you type into the input field and submit the form, the same table of results is returned, as a Django view/template.

To do this, I'm duplicating quite a lot of code: both the static HTML table header/footer, and also the code for each row, generated using a for loop. (In pseudocode: for result in results: output 'result.title	result.author	' etc.)
How can I avoid duplicating this code, and instead share it nicely between Django and JavaScript?
Thanks!

A: you can pass json to client, and then render it with some client-side templating engine. for example JQuery templating engines

Creamy notes of fruit are noticed along with nice and good balsamic and vanilla hints. A wine with a good acidity and polished tannins. Long and persistent, very nice finish, which leaves final toasted notes. Despite being a long-aged Reserva, this is an easy-drinking and very tasty wine.

2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Since their conception in 18th century France, Cabernet Sauvignon grapes have flourished across the Old and New Worlds and have changed the way we think about red wine forever. Their sharp and astringent nature has a wonderful ability to mellow and round with age, and when helped by being blended with Merlot and Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc varietals – as is done in Bordeaux and elsewhere – the results can be truly remarkable. What is most special about Cabernet Sauvignon grapes is the fact that they have a true affinity for oak, and when aged in barrels made of this fragrant wood, the wine which comes out of them a few years later holds an amazing array of flavors and aromas, making Cabernet Sauvignon based wines some of the most memorable in the world. Single variety bottles from the New World made from this grape are also increasing in popularity, as the strong flavors and full-bodied nature of these wines is a great match for many global cuisines.
For over two thousand years, Spain has been responsible for much of Europe's wine production, making the very best of native grape varietals, and more recently experimenting with and perfecting wines made from imported grapes. Of course, the region of La Rioja is renowned world-wide for the quality and characteristics of its wines, which benefit greatly from the warm, dry continental climate of the area, and the fertile soils of the Ebro river basin. However, there is far more to Spanish produce than the complex, aromatic and earthy red wine of this region, as a result of the vast range of wine making traditions and practices, and terrains and climatic conditions found across the country. The region Castilla y Leon produces some of Europe's finest white wines, and the sparkling wines of Cava and the sherries of Jerez are firm favorites for wine lovers around the world.

The Toastmasters' program exposes each participant to a wide range of communication exercises and the program can be tailored to meet your personal objectives. Whether you desire improvement in prepared speaking, greater skill in the use of visual aids etc, experience and knowledge in the areas that most interest you. There is no pressure to participate in the events.
The Menai District Toastmasters Club Calendar provides a list of dates which range from standard Club and Executive Meetings, Area Division and District Speech Contest.
Each new Toastmaster receives a New Member Kit issued from Toastmasters International. The kit features a copy of the Competent Communication manual, and a copy of the Competent Leadership manual, general orientation materials and information regarding skill improvement in areas such as speech evaluation and the use of gestures. Upon completion of the Competent Communication manual (which contains 10 speaking projects), Toastmasters may then participate in any of the 15 Advanced Communication manuals. The Advanced Communication manuals provide the opportunity for Toastmasters to advance personally or professionally. Participants may choose specific projects such as Speeches by Management, Technical Presentations, Story Telling, Speaking to Inform, Humorously Speaking, and Specialty Speeches to name a few.
The 10 speaking projects in the Competent Communication manual, are designed with the new Toastmaster in mind as they cover the basic fundamentals of public speaking. The new Toastmasters will develop competency by participating in the following projects; controlling nerves, speech structure, speaking with conviction, selecting the correct words, gestures and body language, vocal variety, researching the topic, using visual aids, persuading with power, and inspiring your audience.
During the meeting's Table Topics session, members learn to think on their feet by delivering short impromptu speeches, lasting 1 to 2 minutes. This is not so much an exercise in general knowledge, it is purely an exercise for members to develop style and confidence when asked to stand and answer that unexpected question in front of a group of people. A situation which can occur often within your career activities.
After the Table Topics and Prepared Speeches sessions, each Toastmaster receives a positive and constructive verbal evaluation on their Table Topic, and a verbal and written evaluation for speeches. This evaluation process recognises speakers for their strengths and provides one or two points for improvement so that the speaker has something constructive to work with for the next occasion. The speaker is always left feeling positive about the delivery.
A. To provide an opportunity for speakers to improve their extemporaneous speaking abilities and to recognise the best as encouragement for all.
B. To provide an opportunity to learn by observing the more proficient speakers who have benefitted from their Toastmasters training.
A. To provide an opportunity for speakers to improve their speaking abilities and to recognise the best as encouragement for all.
C. To recognize the value of humour in speaking.
The judge's guide for both contests are attached for your information, to indicate the types of skills you would need to apply in the contests.

Why Does Bitcoin Matter?
Our digitally dynamic world has afforded us the convenience of trading, buying and selling online.
This affordance has been accompanied by the emergence of digital currencies; a medium of exchange that is electronically created and stored.
Digital currencies are being rapidly adopted by all sized businesses and even governments as a legitimate and secure form of trade.
Ecuador's government is considering adopting a form of Government-regulated digital currency for the 40 percent of their population who don't have bank accounts.
Bitcoin is the best known and most widely used digital currency. It was launched in 2009 under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, using cryptic mathematical algorithms.
Dr Tom Smith, Professor of Finance at The University of Queensland, believes that the Bitcoin founders aspired to create a digital version of gold.
"I think the idea is that they want to create something like gold, that's really scarce. That's the idea behind the cryptology, the mining of each coin."
There are several standout features of Bitcoin:
Names aren't required to make or receive bitcoin transfers. All you need is your digital wallet ID and the details of the recipient. Though all Bitcoin transfers ever made are accounted for, names are withheld.
The ambiguous nature of Bitcoin records permits purchase and trade of drugs and other illegal goods.
Bitcoins are virtually mined. All an aspiring miner needs is a digital wallet and free-to-download software. The process is complicated and relies completely on mathematical algorithms and miners are required to solve these complex mathematical puzzles. There is a maximum of 21 million bitcoins to be mined. Twelve million have already been mined.
"The way it's set up is that as more bitcoins are mined, they become more valuable," he says. Dr Smith points out a unique use for Bitcoins – buying a successful gamer's account to play online games at an elite level," Dr Smith said.
"There's a whole other world on the internet called 'Second Life.' You have another existence – another job, house and family. You make transactions on these accounts and can earn bitcoins that way.
"Successful gamers who, for example, are really good at Star Wars games become 'Jedi Knights.' They have ten accounts where they become Jedi Knights ten times over.
"Some wealthy people who have little free time want to play the game at the Jedi Knight level, and they can buy the high-achieving account off the gamer using bitcoins for around the equivalent of $10,000."
Using bitcoins to buy and sell cuts out the middle man: the bank, that is. Zero credit card fees and immediate payments are attractive features for businesses.
Dr Smith believes that there are some difficulties associated with individuals pursuing a Bitcoin account.
"In the real world, you've got the Federal Reserve, you've got the International Money Market, The Reserve Bank of Australia and other regulated things. In the internet space, there's no one really doing that."
Despite its strengths, Bitcoin's history has not been hiccup free. In 2013, the FBI seized 26,000 bitcoins, worth $3.6 billion from Silk Road, a company which facilitated the trade of illegal drugs through the web.
This incident was followed shortly by the crash of Mt Gox, a major Bitcoin exchange where cyber thieves stole $500 million worth of bitcoins.
Another disadvantage is Bitcoin's instability. In December 2013, a bitcoin was worth $1,147. At time of writing, its worth $453 AUD.
Right now, Bitcoin is a digital alternative to conventional currency trade. However its future is uncertain, due to the ambiguity of the market.
Dr Smith doesn't know if Bitcoin will be the market leader in digital currency, but he strongly believes that there is a bright future and strong demand for digital currency.
"There are around 250 versions of these internet coins. Who's to say which is going to be the one who takes over the space?"
Though Bitcoin is still in its early, shaky stages of development, one thing is certain – the need for digital currency is growing steadily.

During October and November 2014, Stanley Ho East Asia College (SHEAC) successfully held a series of workshops based on Professor Michael Sandel's distinguished course on justice at Harvard University. The Justice Workshop Series has become one of the signature programs of SHEAC since College Master Professor Iu Vai Pan initiated it three years ago.
The workshops discussed a series of alternative theories of justice, such as utilitarianism, libertarianism, and communitarianism. Professor Iu, as the main presenter and facilitator, as well as Resident Fellows Dr. Kevin Huang and Dr. Sancia Wan, discussed and explored various topics with students.
The workshop series consisted of four sessions. The first session covered discussions on "the moral side of murder" and "the case for cannibalism". Students critically discussed with each other whether it is reasonable to sacrifice the minority to save the majority as making a decision for a major group of people regardless of others that form the smaller group. The topic of the second part was whether putting a price tag on life is sensible or not. Participants also reflected upon how to measure pleasure. In the third session, students discussed two main points: "who owns me," and "taxation and free to choose". In the final session, Professor Iu led students to think deeply about why we can claim that this land is our land and if consenting adults implies fairness.
This series of workshops was aimed at helping students reflect on things that they encounter in daily life from multiple perspectives and to learn different views. In addition, the College hopes that students learn to reflect on their personal growth and practice, and would be able to give rational reasoning.
For now, this "journey in moral reasoning" was successfully concluded but we will meet again next semester!


didn't Pythagoras think even numbers were female? and odd ones male? am I misremembering this?
I don't know what Pythagoras thought, but Plato (he might have picked this up from Pythagoras) believed that odd numbers are more perfect than even ones, since the sum of the first n odd numbers is n^2, where as the sum of the first n even numbers is n(n+1).
Even numbers are female because they divide in the middle with no remainder.
Do odd and even numbers traditionally fall on different sides of the Yin/Yang divide in Taoism? I feel like I vaguely remember learning that, years ago, though I am about as ignorant as it is possible to be of the general subject.
I love the Julius Caeser joke, btw.
So, so glad someone liked the Julius Caesar joke.
Odd numbers are silly-heads, and even numbers are dodo's.

A: use this api it will give zipcode also.
by passing lat and log.
http://ws.geonames.org/findNearbyPostalCodesJSON?formatted=true&lat=23.0333&lng=72.6167

A: the Discription of the API .getFromLocation states :

The returned values may be obtained by means of a network lookup. The
  results are a best guess and are not guaranteed to be meaningful or
  correct.

So there is a good chance that the location returned only has some info missing.
There are 2 solution's for your issue:
1) Increase the maxResults , lets say 5. And check if any of the 5 has a postal code.( query could return less than 5 so make sure to put appropriate check)
2) refer  ZipCode from location , for how to query it separately if we have city name.

Music, Art & Culture
Denver Museum of Nature & Science has a little something for everyone, from gemstones, to Martian dust devils, to wildlife and even some mischievous, well-hidden elves. But for some visitors, it's all about one thing: dinosaurs.
By the time you've walked through the museum's Prehistoric Journey exhibit, you will have encountered hundreds of dinosaur fossils. But before they were mounted into display cases or assembled into skeletons or added to one of the Touch Carts (yes, you can touch some of the fossils!), about 75 percent of the fossils on display passed through the Schlessman Family Laboratory of Earth Sciences, a.k.a. the Fossil Prep Lab.
Denver's Fossil Prep Lab opened in 1990, and it has helped the museum's Earth Sciences department process thousands of fossils from excavations across the globe in places like Madagascar, Egypt and Kenya. However, one of the lab's most recent — and most exciting — projects is from just a few miles up the road.
In August of 2017, construction workers in Thornton, Colo., discovered dinosaur bones while digging the foundation for a new police and fire substation. A visit from Joseph Sertich, the museum's curator of dinosaurs, confirmed the find and revealed the mystery dino to be a 66-million-year-old Triceratops, at least initially.
A fast-paced excavation began. Within a few weeks, the dinosaur — now nicknamed "Tiny" — was unearthed.
"If this had been found in the field, the excavation could have taken up to two years," says Patrick Sullivan, a volunteer in the lab.
"But here, there were plenty of volunteer dig assistants from the museum, as well as the police and firefighters who would eventually be using the building. Plus, there was the time pressure for the construction — so everything went a lot faster than it normally would have."
All told, the team recovered about 95 percent of the dinosaur's skull and 25–30 percent of the skeleton, making it the most complete Cretaceous Period fossil in the state.
But about a month after the creature arrived in the lab, it suddenly went from being an exciting find to a BFD — a Big Fossil Deal.
As the field jackets (wrappings made from plaster and burlap used to protect fossils during transport and storage) were unwrapped and the individual bones revealed, Sertich realized that what he initially thought to be a Triceratops was actually a much rarer dinosaur called a Torosaurus. While the Triceratops was a fairly common dinosaur in the West (more than 2,000 individuals have been found in the region), only around seven partial Torosaurus skulls have ever been recovered. This specimen is the only one found in Colorado, and the most complete skeleton in the world.
"It's an incredibly important paleontological discovery," says Sullivan. "Every rib is the first of its kind ever recovered. Every bone is worth being studied."
"There are going to be a lot of papers coming out of this museum in the next few years," adds Maura O'Neal, the museum's communications and media relations manager.
Sertich estimates that it will take several more months to meticulously clean away all the sand and rock surrounding the Torosaurus bones. You might think that such important work would only be carried out by the most highly trained and experienced fossil preparators behind closed doors. But you'd be wrong on both counts. Although supervised by Sertich and a handful of staff preparators, the bulk of the work is carried out by the Fossil Prep Lab's more than 125 volunteers, including Sullivan, who has been donating his time and talents in the lab for about nine months.
And it all happens in full view of the public, which is what makes the Fossil Prep Lab especially exciting for museum visitors: the lab is surrounded on two sides by sliding, wall-to-wall windows, allowing you to watch the volunteer preparators at work and ask them questions. You'll also find signs with information about the particular fossils that are being worked on. For instance, today, the sign points out the Torosaurus humerus (upper arm bone), eye horn, nose, frill and ribs. There are even plastic Triceratops and Torosaurus toys on display to illustrate the differences between the two Cretaceous cousins.
Also on display in the lab: a nearly complete Stegosaurus skeleton that has been flattened like a pancake by millions of years of geologic pressure and an Ophthalmosaurus — an ancient marine reptile with a giant eye (hence the name) that swam the waters of Wyoming's interior sea 160–145 million years ago.
Once cleaned, the fossils go into the museum's recently completed underground collections space, where they are catalogued for researchers to access and study. Some are periodically loaned out to other museums and research institutions. Only a fraction end up on display in the museum — which makes getting the chance to view them in the Fossil Prep Lab a real treat!
Visit the Schlessman Family Earth Sciences Laboratory at Denver Museum of Nature & Science at the end of the Prehistoric Journey exhibit on the third floor. The lab is open and viewable during museum hours.
Interested in volunteering? Fossil Prep Lab volunteers must be at least 17 years old and receive training by DNMS staff preparators (offered quarterly). Check the museum's website for openings.

OTTAWA — Kenojuak Ashevak, a once-nomadic artist from Canada's Arctic regions whose prints and drawings helped introduce Inuit art to much of the world, died on Tuesday at her home in Cape Dorset on West Baffin Island in the northern territory of Nunavut. She was 85.
The cause was lung cancer, The Canadian Press news agency reported.
Kenojuak (pronounced ken-OH-jew-ack), as she was universally known, is probably best remembered for "The Enchanted Owl," a 1960 print showing an owl with wildly exaggerated feathers and a piercing stare. It became one of Canada's most famous works of art, appearing on a Canadian stamp in 1970 commemorating the centennial of the Northwest Territories.
Like many Inuit, Kenojuak, who developed her art from the embroidery that she learned as a child, lived in one camp after another in eastern Canada's far north well into the 1950s. She and her first husband, Johnniebo Ashevak, also an artist, eventually settled in Cape Dorset on Baffin Island so that their children could go to school.
There she became part of a group of artists receiving guidance from the Canadian government and the Hudson's Bay Company, which hoped to develop arts and crafts in the village. The effort was led by James A. Houston, a Toronto artist and writer who had studied printmaking in Japan. The government had named him area administrator for West Baffin Island and charged him with fostering the production of art to provide an income to the Inuit after their fur trade had declined.
In 1959, prints from the region were sold at a Hudson's Bay Company department store in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in what would become an annual presentation of works. Kenojuak contributed new work until 2012.
Her renown grew after the release in the 1960s of "Kenojuak," a film produced by the National Film Board of Canada and nominated for an Academy Award for best short documentary. Commissions followed, and Kenojuak, who spoke only Inuktitut, was invited to travel widely for exhibitions of Inuit art in Germany, the Netherlands, South Korea, Seattle and Ottawa, among other places.
Kenojuak moved from stone printing into other techniques and eventually added sculpture and stained glass to her work, all in a bold graphic style that favored images of birds.
With Mr. Houston's help, the Cape Dorset artists founded what is now known as the West Baffin Eskimo Co-operative to manage their print making and market their work.
Kenojuak — whether she had a surname at birth is not clear; she later took her first husband's — was born on Oct. 3, 1927, in a camp about 90 miles east of Cape Dorset on Baffin Island. Her first husband died in 1972. Two subsequent marriages, to Itigajuaqujaku Pii and Joanasie Igiju, also ended with her husbands' deaths.
A family member said Kenojuak is survived by six children, 37 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren.
William B. Ritchie, the studio manager for the cooperative, said that the broad popularity of Kenojuak's work did not escape the notice of her Inuit peers.
"A lot of the other artists embellished their work to look like her's," he said.
During the last months of her life, he said, Kenojuak produced a series of four-by-six-foot drawings from her bed.


Play sports and eat healthy to stay healthy, it is a principle we often hear and nothing is more true.Only however great motivation for sport is often slow to take action because of some questions: what sport practice, how many times a week, especially at what intensity. Yet the effectiveness of these exercises depends largely on the answers to these questions.
Heart rate or simply the frequency of the heart beat is what experts recommend as the benchmark for proper intensity of effort to provide.When practice intense physical activity, the heart rate tends to accelerate to reach a limit where the body "can not". By measuring this number on the maximum heart rate, you will be able to control your movements and your pace to better listen to your body and move to the rhythm appropriate.
The heart rate monitor is the measurement tool that lets you know these numbers on your heart rate.Instrument necessary and essential, sports sessions, cardio workout with a wrist watch you make it easier to move with the right intensity and have subsequently more conclusive results. And this is true whatever the reason you train Fitness, muscle toning, weight loss or other.
You are a woman looking for a watch cardio to help you in your exercises but do not know much about the market and the available models? ContreMaMontre gives you some ideas for you to choose safely and with less stress your new watch cardio wife.
Should I buy a specific model of cardio shows depending on the sport?
Nowadays, there are countless brands and cardio watch models on the market. Indispensable tool to make good progress in his sport and its fitness goals, it is not always easy to find what shows cardio buy.
Just keep in mind that you can simply classify all these cardio watch designs for women or Men in two categories: simple or basic models and more advanced models with more features. The basic cardio watches are inputs or mid-range, easy to use models because they ship what we need in terms of features. These cardio watches will serve you if you are new drive using the measurement of the heart rate.
The most advanced cardio watches on they include more features specific to certain sports. For example if you run or walk or other outdoor sports, you may need a pulse watch altimeter and GPS. If you exercise indoors, fitness activities, Zumba, Pilates, elliptical or other wise simple cardio like Polar FT4 and Polar FT7 may be sufficient. Besides these two models of cardio watches are available with several colors available, with special colors for women.
Finding the right shows cardio is not easy when you look at the multitude of products available. Here are some things to think if you're a woman and you know only very little market. These selection criteria apply whether you are a beginner or regular sports.
If you're running, swimming or play sports indoors, you can either find a basic model or seek any of these models with the features needed for your sport. But even if you opt for a simple watch with cardio basic functionality, make sure the model you want to buy integrates the functions useful in achieving your fitness goals. For example, you would need a watch with cardio calorie counter if you exercise to lose weight.
When one is a woman, we like the objects that make up our look, even to play sports, be beautiful and pretty much go with all our strength. It is not always easy to have a cardio watch with a big dial that "make nice" on our wrist. Fortunately nowadays manufacturers brand watches designed cardio mixed models that would go as well to the wrist of a man than a woman. And it is the same case for advanced cardio watch models like multi-sport TomTom example shows.
Since you'll be wearing your watch for a cardio workout that will not always be a pleasure (especially at first), do not neglect especially this comfort factor. This is valid also for cardio belts. It may indeed be that some standard size belts are not suitable for women because too wide. These are then forced to make adjustments before or during the race. It is not practical, it can hinder the veracity of the data transmitted and especially it can be dangerous to the limit. So always find a belt to the proper size.
Cardio watch is primarily a watch that also tells time. You can guide your choice of cardio watch towards a model that can just as easily be worn in everyday life. One trick that works: choose a sober style, not too garish in color, and that goes with everything!
If your choice is placed on models input cardio watches or midrange, you might find your account in our comparison of the best cardio watches . Similarly our buying guide will help you avoid some pitfalls that may arise when you make your choice.
Book one of our best cardio watches models that are suitable for both men and women. This is the case for example of Polar FT1 , Polar FT2 , Polar FT4 and Polar FT7 , the Sigma PC 3.11 , or the Garmin Forerunner 110W .
Some brands of cardio shows have developed "female" versions of some of their best models. These cardio watches are those with a less imposing dial, adapted to the wrist of women. But there are also those with colors that make the watch a little more attractive and balance the excess of embedded functionality. Among other examples there Suunto Ambit 2 red colors, the Polar RCX3 with a white version. Finally Oregon Scientific has designed models of cardio watches for women without a belt to avoid the hassle of discomfort.

Christmas This Is Sheffield


The charming cathedral city of Gloucester is situated in the South West of England on the bank of the UK's longest river; the River Severn. Conveniently located between Bristol and Birmingham, Gloucester is also within easy reach of the Welsh border, the Cotswolds and London, making this safe city the perfect hub for tourists. Gloucester also has many cultural attractions to tempt visitors. Gloucester's climate can be described as oceanic, with moderate temperatures throughout the year. Summer days are warm and pleasant, while cooler temperatures are to be expected during the winter. As is the case elsewhere in the UK, Gloucester experiences its fair share of rainfall therefore packing your umbrella and raincoat is advisable.
Gloucester's nearby countryside is well worth visiting, but having access to your own vehicle is indispensable if you're intending to do so. A hatchback will cope well with all roads around the city.
The council alone offers 2,275 car parking spaces are spread over 15 car parks across the city, therefore finding a space shouldn't cause you too many problems.
Gloucester is situated near some of the country's major motorways, namely the M5, which makes travelling into and out of the city by car a straightforward process.
Going south to Bristol, the M5 tends to have a lot of traffic on weekday mornings when many people in the city go to work there.
Gloucester Cathedral is a grand yet tranquil building, boasting impressive architecture and intricate stained glass windows. Situated in the north of the city, the cathedral has its own artist in residency and also hosts a number of events throughout the year. Interestingly enough, some of the scenes from the Harry Potter movies were filmed here.
Just a stone's throw from the cathedral, you'll find one of the city's most family friendly attractions; The House of the Tailor of Gloucester. Situated in the exact location where Beatrix Potter is believed to have enjoyed drawing, it was here that she also gathered inspiration to write her favourite book, The Tailor of Gloucester. Entry to the house is free of charge.
Gloucester also has plenty to offer sports enthusiasts. Head down to the Kingsholm Stadium to watch the legendary Gloucester Rugby Union side play against the best that England and Europe has to offer. If you fancy getting active yourself, the city is also home to the largest dry ski slope that England and Wales have to offer!
Gloucestershire Airport is situated between Gloucester and Cheltenham but offers a very limited number of flights, with Belfast, the Isle of Man and Jersey currently being the only three destinations served by this airport.
A greater selection of flights to a range of destinations is, however, available at Bristol and Birmingham airports, both of which are located approximately an hour's drive away from Gloucester via the M5.

Fears that robots are taking our jobs are overstated
Published: 11th October, 2022 at 14:00
Most workers are unnecessarily worried that they are going to be replaced by robots. And positive thinking can help to allay these fears.
What with robots being used for everything from flipping burgers to parcel deliveries, many of us are increasingly worried that the machines are coming for our jobs. However, these fears are largely unfounded, a study carried out by researchers at the National University of Singapore has found.
And thinking more positively about our unique human qualities can help to assuage these thoughts, they say.
The team randomly assigned 343 parents of students at the National University of Singapore to three groups. One of the groups was given an article about the use of robots in business to read, the second a general article about robots, and the third an article not related to robots.
All three groups were then asked about their concerns over job security. The group that read the story about robots in business reported significantly higher fears of job insecurity due to robots replacing them, the team found.
"Some economists theorise that robots are more likely to take over blue-collar jobs faster than white-collar jobs," said lead researcher Kai Chi Yam.
"However, it doesn't look like robots are taking over that many jobs yet, so a lot of these fears are rather subjective."
Then, in a second experiment carried out online, the team asked 400 volunteers to write down specific human values that were important to them, such as friendship, a sense of humour or skills such as athletics before being asked about their job security. They found that this kind of self-affirmation exercise allayed the volunteers' fears about being replaced by working robots.
"Media reports on new technologies like robots and algorithms tend to be apocalyptic in nature, so people may develop an irrational fear about them," said Yam.
"Most people are overestimating the capabilities of robots and underestimating their own capabilities."

Good-bye to a popular Ambassador
El Salvador is saying good-bye to US Ambassador Mari Carmen Aponte. The Ambassador, who was appointed by president Obama, is ending her five years of service to El Salvador. She has been appointed by the US president to be the new permanent representative to the Organization of American States, but that nomination is still pending confirmation in the Senate.
The US Embassy website describes some of the recognition being bestowed on the ambassador:
Foreign Minister Hugo Martinez awarded the National "Jose Matias Delgado" Order in the Grand Cross Silver Plaque in recognition of her work and commitment in strengthening the relations between El Salvador and the United States.
"We found in Ambassador Aponte an exceptional professional, with a great spirit of solidarity and a renewed vision," said Minister Martinez.....
The second recognition received by the Ambassador this week was the Golden Zenzontlat, granted by the municipal government of Sonsonate, for her humanitarian work in the performance of her duties as a diplomat in the country.
The ceremony was held in front of the town hall in the center of Sonsonate, led by Mayor Roberto Aquino.
During his speech, which took place in front of the Municipal Palace of Sonsonate, the Mayor Roberto Aquino told the Ambassador: "To us, you are a leader who has invited us to moderation and dialogue. You are leaving your mark across El Salvador. "
What Puerto Rico born Aponte brought to the job, which her two predecessors lacked, was a great heart for the Salvadoran people and the ability to speak Spanish. She was respected by political figures on both the left and the right, and the Salvadoran people responded warmly to her outgoing personality. She will be missed.
Aponte will be replaced by incoming Ambassador Jean Manes. Manes is a career State Department officer. Her two most recent assignments include serving as the Director of Resources for the Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy, overseeing $1.2 billion in resources for public diplomacy domestic and worldwide operations. She recently returned from Afghanistan where she served as the Counselor for Public Affairs at the U.S. Embassy.

THE DARK is a series of short horror stories I do when I have a minute. I write and draw them but sometimes I also work with writer friends who write really good stories. Because I'm lucky that way. I love horror. I love all types. Good and bad. I love folklore and legends. This project is a loving hug to all the things I love.
These are the first four stories in the series. They have been available individually in small run minicomic print form as they came out. In October of this year (2019) Source Point Press will be releasing the first collection which will consist of these four stories, cover gallery, pin-up gallery, extra comics and other odds and ends not included here. Once that edition is released, production of the mini-comics will end until the next four stories where I'll go through the same process again.

Dick Cantwell Named Quality Ambassador at the Brewers Association
Boulder, CO • July 21, 2015—Supporting its vision of a membership that consistently produces the highest quality beer, the Brewers Association (BA)—the not-for-profit trade association dedicated to small and independent American craft brewers—announced the appointment of Dick Cantwell as Quality Ambassador. In this role, Cantwell will make presentations across the country at state guild conferences and other places where brewers gather.
"A commitment to ensuring high quality craft beer is a top priority for the Brewers Association," said Paul Gatza, director, Brewers Association. "Dick not only understands this mission, he appreciates what quality truly means and how it is achieved. He will be a tremendous asset to our membership and the entire craft brewing industry in this new role."
As one of the industry's well-respected and experienced craft brewers, Cantwell co-founded Elysian Brewing Company in 1996, where he served as head brewer until its sale to Anheuser-Busch in 2015. During his tenure, Elysian was named Large Brewpub of the Year three times at the Great American Beer Festival® (1999, 2003 and 2004), and in 2004, he received the BA's Russell Schehrer Award for Innovation in Brewing. Additionally, he has written for various beer magazines, including The New Brewer, Beer Advocate and American Brewer. His book publishing credits include Barley Wine (with Fal Allen) and The Brewers Association's Guide to Starting Your Own Brewery, Second Edition. He is currently at work on a forthcoming Brewers Publications title about wood- and barrel-aged beers, with New Belgium's Peter Bouckaert.
"I am delighted to be given this opportunity to connect with friends old and new around the country, helping to instill the culture of quality in beer and in business as we all strive to stay passionate and committed to this movement we've all created," said Cantwell.
The BA technical committee formed the quality subcommittee in the fall of 2014 to conceptualize and facilitate the continual pursuit of beer quality for craft brewers. The technical committee selected a diverse group of brewing professionals to take on the task of supporting and advocating for quality. The purpose of the group is to provide a framework for quality to craft brewers and to provide guidance to achieve the vision of a membership that consistently produces beer of the highest quality.

As a new quilter, I see some fabulous quilts that make me want to be a better quilter. The part that challenges me the most though is the placement of the fabrics into the block style that I have chosen. Keeping a balance of light, medium, and dark makes perfect sense to me, but how do you know what category the chosen fabrics fall into?
I have discovered that the quilting program included in BERNINA Embroidery Software is a perfect tool for helping learn the color values. First, I scan my fabrics into the software and save them in a designated folder … which, by the way, is an awesome feature! After loading all of the fabrics I plan to use to the palette, they appear as small fabric chips at the top of the workspace. The small chips allow me to focus on the color value and not the pattern within the fabric.
Finally, I assign a similar color chip for each fabric moving from the dark, medium, and light choices until I find a color that best represents my fabric. I also separate the values, adding spaces between the colors so I can easily determine which ones are dark, medium, or light. Once I have the colors selected, I then start laying out my quilt.
This is a project that I have just begun and I plan to use QuiltMotion for BERNINA to complete the quilting and the new Binding Attachment #88 for the bias binding. Check back next month for a picture of the completed quilt!

Very beautiful and special 14k gold brooch, which can also be used as a pendant. This special piece of jewelry is set with various gemstones and pearls and measures (excluding the eye) 39mm in height and 25mm in width. Beautiful and fine, dotted handwork around around many of the gemstones. In terms of composition and style, it is a small work of art. The photos speak for themselves!
