Dolphins Bay, Crawl Cay, Red Frog Beach and Hospital Point Expedition
Home Panamá Tour Bocas del Toro
The paradisiac archipelago of Bocas del Toro is one of the Panama's top beach destination.
This full day tour combines the most popular spots in the area to enjoy its natural wonders and its relaxing beaches.
First, you will make a short boat ride to Laguna Bocatorito or Dolphin's Bay, where it's almost guaranteed to spot the semi-permanent population of bottlenose dolphins that graciously will play around the boat. The dolphins of Bocas del Toro seem to have a special predilection for this bay, due to the abundance of small fish, crustaceans and squid of its waters.
Then, you will make a stop in Crawl Cay – one of the most popular snorkeling spots in Bocas del Toro. This tiny island is surrounded by lush coral gardens with an abundance of tropical fishes, coral heads and colorful sponges.
After lunch you will visit Red Frog Beach to discover the poison-dart frogs that are abundant in Bastimentos' hills. With a little luck, you might encounter a three-toed sloth or some monkeys as well.
Here, you will also have some free time to relax on the white and golden sand beach.
To end the day, you will snorkel in one of the best places in the area: Hospital Point. This is a shallow sandy bay with a reef that starts at three meters and consists mainly of lettuce and brain coral, which gradually descends until it becomes a wall with a depth of sixteen meters. The wall has numerous cracks and caverns and some dark overhanging ledges, which are home to a wide variety of marine life.
Lunch is included in a local restaurant.
Tour includes: Transportation, admission fees, snorkeling equipment, Spanish/English speaking guide, bottle of water and lunch.
What to Bring: Light clothes and swimsuit, towel, comfortable shoes or sandals, sunglasses, hat or cap, camera, mosquito repellent and sunscreen.
Duration: 7 hours (approx.)
Days of Operation: Daily.

Princess Grace Foundation-USA Hosts 29th Annual PRINCESS GRACE AWARDS GALA
Julie Andrews to be Honored With Prince Rainier III Award
Jon M. Chu to Receive Princess Grace Statue Award
Princess Grace Foundation-USA
NEW YORK, Sept. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Princess Grace Foundation-USA (PGF-USA) is proud to announce that the 29th Annual Princess Grace Awards Gala will be held on Tuesday, November 1, 2011 at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City. The Awards ceremony will include the presentation of 21 awards to emerging artists in theater, dance and film as well as the Prince Rainier III Award to be presented to Julie Andrews and the Princess Grace Statue Award to be presented to Jon M. Chu. The Awards recipients hail from cities and states across America and will travel to New York City to receive their honor at the glamorous black tie ceremony. The 29th Annual Princess Grace Awards Gala will take place in the presence of TSH The Prince and The Princess of Monaco, marking their first U.S. visit since their July wedding. The evening will be chaired by Dr. Jon Turk (PGF-USA Trustee) and Carolyn Gusoff Turk. This year's Awards Gala will be highlighted by the unveiling of a unique tribute to Princess Grace by Montblanc. Presenting Sponsor for the Gala is Hermes; Platinum Sponsor is Noelle and Dick Wolf; Crown Sponsor is Lily Safra; American Airlines is the Official Airline of the Princess Grace Awards Gala and 1-800-Flowers.com is the Official Florist.
The Princess Grace Foundation-USA, a public charity, was formed after the death of Princess Grace in 1982. They present scholarships, apprenticeships, and fellowships to assist artists at the start of their careers. The Foundation has cultivated a diverse group of nearly 600 artists to date who continue to advance the spectrum of performing arts with innovative, cutting-edge, and vibrant theater, dance, choreography, film, playwriting and design. Since the Foundation's inception, more than 700 Awards have been given to recipients, totaling more than $8.5 million.
This year, PGF-USA will honor Julie Andrews with the Prince Rainier III Award for her outstanding contribution to motion picture, television and theater arts. This Award is presented to eminent artists who have not only been highly successful in their careers, but have made significant humanitarian contributions to their fields. To date, Mikhail Baryshnikov (2005), Twyla Tharp (2006), George Lucas (2007), Glenn Close (2008), Mandy Patinkin (2009) and Denzel & Pauletta Washington (2010) have received this honor, which includes a grant of $25,000 to the philanthropic organization of their choice and a unique sculpture designed by the artist, Alex Soldier.
"Julie Andrews' extraordinary artistic talent and distinguished career in theater, television and film has been a beacon of inspiration to countless creative young artists, many of whom we acknowledge at this celebration," says Hon. John Lehman, Chairman of the Board, Princess Grace Foundation-USA. "In the spirit of Princess Grace, it is with great pleasure that we celebrate the achievements of Ms. Andrews and the creativity, passion and budding talent of our Awards winners."
Past winners of the Awards for theater, dance and film who distinguish themselves in their artistic disciplines since receiving their initial Princess Grace Awards are eligible to win the Foundation's Princess Grace Statue Award. This year, Jon M. Chu will be honored for his outstanding achievements. Mr. Chu received his first Princess Grace Award, a Film Scholarship at the University of Southern California, in 2001. In addition to a $25,000 unrestricted cash gift, these Awardees are presented with a bronze statuette of Princess Grace created by the Dutch artist Kees Verkade. To date, fifty-four artists have received this award.
At the Gala, The Montblanc Collection Princesse Grace de Monaco will be premiered in the U.S.- a spectacular, new tribute collection to one of the most remarkable individuals of all time, celebrated for Her iconic, timeless style; Her artistic talent as an Oscar©-winning actress and Her unrelenting commitment to helping others. The Montblanc Collection Princesse Grace de Monaco is a continuation of the privileged relationship the brand has enjoyed with the Principality of Monaco in recent years. Consisting of fine jewelry pieces, timepieces and writing instruments, the Montblanc Collection is true to Princess Grace's enduring style and sophistication. Feminine and elegant, the pieces from this collection are some of the most exquisite ever crafted in Montblanc's Ateliers, rich in details and inspired by this icon's spirit and attention to style.
For the third year in a row, celebrated artist Alex Soldier, known for his mastery of precious miniatures, has created an objet d'art to symbolize the Princess Grace Awards. The Award symbolically combines the three art forms lauded by the Foundation: theater, dance, and film by using precious metals and Swarovski crystal accents. Presented as a sculpture for the Prince Rainier III recipient, this work of art is created for each Princess Grace Award winner to wear as a pin, a special reminder of their Award for the world to see.
The Gala will begin with cocktails, followed by a spectacular opening act; then a 3-course dinner catered by Cipriani 42nd Street; followed by the Awards presentations and finally, dancing to DJ Clockwork in the Chapel Room. At the Gala, guests will have the opportunity to support the Foundation by bidding on an extensive collection of exceptional silent auction lots including leather goods, jewelry and accessories, all spearheaded by the generosity of Montblanc. All auction proceeds will benefit Princess Grace Awards to advance its mission of providing crucial support to emerging artists in America.
2011 PRINCESS GRACE AWARD WINNERS
Each year, the Foundation presents the Princess Grace Awards to artists who show excellence and promise in the areas of theater, dance, and film. Students are eligible for scholarships; emerging artists working in companies qualify for apprenticeships and fellowships. A playwriting fellowship is available for individual artists through a residency at New Dramatists in New York City, which includes the opportunity to have the winning play be licensed and published by Samuel French, Inc. In addition to these, the Foundation also gives honorable mention grants to applicants through Honoraria.
The 2011 Princess Grace Awards winners (listed below) represent 20 colleges, universities, and not-for-profit theater and dance companies throughout the United States. The Awards winners exemplify both classical and experimental artistic disciplines and, while still considered emerging talent, already show exceptional promise in their areas of expertise. The Foundation's support assists their theater and dance studies, helps pay their artistic fees at non-profit theater and dance companies and helps support their thesis film projects.

Located in Domain Marketplace Reviews started by equity78, Nov 10, 2018.
Seems like they are moving more and more out of the domain side. Makes sense given how much less very high quality inventory there seems to be for sale on auction platforms these days, compared to couple years ago.
That seems steep to me - I think they will lose the modest priced sales they have had. The new identification measures seem a good idea though. Thanks for sharing the info @equity78 .What do others think?
Its funny how they tried hard to rebrand themselves as a business marketplace and not websites.
They even changes all that to the word "businesses" now.
For the ID I think that was implanted few weeks ago (not syre though).
I guess the new pricing will hurt a lot of people but it looks like everyone will get their upgrades by default from now on.
If you look at Flippa's homepage, it asks for business types. The options range from advertising, to apps, to SaaS... The site lacks flow and makes little sense now.
Does anyone know what percentage of their revenue Flippa get from their different categories? Is it possible most of their revenue comes from businesses/websites and they are not so keen to be active in the low end off the domain price range anymore? Just wondering.
I've respectably decided to focus my efforts on NameJet and using efty or undeveloped from now on. You may see me list the odd auction @Flippa but I won't be moving as much inventory through there anymore. I agree with @equity78 that since Kevin fink left flippa it hasn't been the same. The changes made to the structure of the domain auction listing section have created a negative outcome for many auctions. I've enjoyed the helpfulness that Amber burk has given, but flippa is not as profitable for flipping as it used to be.
according to nb flippa is the best place to list extension .website,but $25 to list one domain,that's crazy.i listed tilray.website on gd instead.for free.
Call it what it is... a commission. This new terminology crap really makes me not want to business with them (or anyone else) trying to "rebrand" reality.
I'm guessing the Flippa folks got tired of seeing so many auctions and "starter" websites end up unsold - only to be relisted, cluttering up the listing pages with junk - even though each of those listings for minimum prices brought them in a lot of revenue. But a small number of large sales makes up for hundreds of small listing fees, so good luck to them as they try and re-brand to try and look more legitimate.
Hopefully Flippa's final nail in the coffin.
$25 up front? Thanks but no. Any more.
They are trying to move in the direction of EmpireFlippers and similar sites with these all-new "business listings".
I wouldn't be surprised if they'd also introduce a system where all domains would be reviewed (accepted or rejected) before being posted.
I haven't listed domains in a while with them but I do believe that paying $25 up-front for basically no exposure is not worth it.
I noticed this yesterday when I tried listing one of my domain with them, I respectfully backed out when I saw the price of $25 for listing.
It means the low price domain name will not be listed on Flippa.
That's the end of Flippa auctions for me. Call me when they roll back the prices.
The 10% success fee on Asset Sales and Self Service Business Sales is a reduction.
You can't call it a reduction if it starts at X, increases to Y, and then returns to X under a new gimmick.
Seriously need another marketplace to control unipolar flippa market. I don't understand why freemarket.com not focusing to replace flippa ? its a great market but no support.
Replace? I didn't know Flippa was performing a role to be replaced in the first place.
It's hard to take the Flippa site seriously. It sounds so desperate... "please sell something.. anything!"

Tursun Beg
(b. 829/1426? - d. 896/1491? )
tursunbeg_en.pdf
T.B. gives his name as Tur-ı Sina. While Halil İnalcık notes that the court registers of Bursa provide some information on the author and his family, most of what is known of T.B.'s life derives from his work entitled Tarih-i Ebü'l-feth [Henceforth Tarih]. Even though T.B. does not give his father's name and mentions only his uncle Cebe Ali Beg (d. before 1491), the governor of Bursa, entries in court registers record his name as "Tursun Beg ibn Hamza Beg." Considering that the father of Hamza Beg (d. ?) and Ali Beg, the governor of Izniq in 825/1422, was Firuz Beg (d. 825 /1421), T.B.'s family appears to have played an important role in Ottoman affairs between the years 782-885/1380-1480. Thus it becomes clear why under Mehmed II (r. 848-850/1444-1446 and 855-886/1451-1481) T.B. was entrusted with the most important and delicate missions which he relates in his history. His name is also mentioned in the court records of Bursa in 889/1484, 892-93/1487, and 896-97/1491.
T.B.'s date of birth is unknown but must have been sometime after 829/1426. The fact that Bursa court registers refer to him as "mevlana" suggests that he must have had a medrese education, which appears to have equipped him with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform the duties of a münşi. In his Tarih, T.B. not only shows his knowledge of Turkish, Arabic, and Persian, but also displays the subtleties of the literary arts, and his complete mastery of all the skills of a münşi. T.B. also maintains that during his forty years of service, he held the offices of the Secretary of the Council of State (divan katibi), Chief Financial Officer of Anatolia (Anadolı defterdarı), Stewart of the Chief Financial Officer of Anatolia (Anadolı Defter Kethüdalıgı), and states that he also served as scribe (yazıcı) in the registration of houses, fields, and vineyards of Constantinople after its conquest.
While T.B.'s detailed description of the building of the Bogazkesen castle (Rumeli hisarı) suggests that he was present during its construction in 856/1452 as well as during the siege of Constantinople in 857/1453, the information he provides on Mehmed II's 860/1456 Belgrade campaign suggests that he participated in that expedition as well. He also appears to have been present in the circumcision feast of princes Bayezid and Mustafa in Edirne in 861/1457.
Having entered Grand Vizier Mahmud Paşa's (d. 879/1474) service most probably in the years 861-862/1456-1457, T.B. participated in every campaign his master led until his dismissal from office in 872/1468. It is certain that he was with Mahmud Paşa on his Serbian campaign of 862/1457 and partook in Mehmed II's Qastamonu campaign as secretary of council (divan katibi) under Mahmud Paşa in 865/1460. After participating in the Wallachian campaign of 866/1461 and in the capture of the island of Lesbos (Midilli), he served Mahmud Paşa on the Bosnian campaign of 867/1462, Morean campaign of 869/1464, and on the Bosnian campaign against the Hungarians in 869/1464. Later he was present with the Sultan and his Grand Vizier on the first and second Albanian campaigns of 870-871/1466-1467.
In 872/1468, in the aftermath of the campaign against Qaramanoglı Pir Ahmed (d. 878-879/1474), Mahmud Paşa was dismissed from office. T.B., however, was again in Mahmud Paşa's service in 874/1470 upon the latter's appointment to the office of High Admiral (Qapudan-i Derya) when the Sultan set out to conquer the island and castle of Negroponte (Eğriboz). T.B. was also present in the 878/1473 Otluqbeli campaign. Following Mahmud Paşa's dismissal from office and his subsequent execution on the Sultan's order, T.B. participated in the campaigns which were personally led by Mehmed II, namely, the Moldavian campaign in the summer of 881/1476, the Hungarian campaign in the following winter, and the Albanian campaign of 883/1478. The information T.B. provides on the conquest of Ala'iye in 876/1471, the Crimean campaign of 879/1474, and the campaigns against Rhodes in 885/1480 is limited.
Tarih provides important insight on T.B.'s life after Mehmed II's death. In the introduction, T.B. states that he committed a sin and deserved to be killed but was forgiven by Bayezid II (r. 886-918/1481-1512). The famous Ottoman statesman and historian Kemalpaşazade (d. 940/1534) sheds light on this particular matter stating that, when Mehmed II's princes Bayezid and Cem fought for the Ottoman sultanate, T.B. actually did not side with Prince Bayezid but served Prince Cem as Chief Financial Officer (defterdar). When Cem was defeated by Bayezid at the Battle of Yeñişehr (22 Rebi'ü'l-ahir 886/20 June 1481), T.B. was captured with prominent members of Prince Cem's retinue. Kemalpaşazade explains that T.B. was forgiven by the Sultan. The effects of this event can be seen in T.B.'s Tarih.
According to Victor Ménage, the last campaign T.B. attended was the expedition of 893/1488 against the Mamluks which culminated in the Ottoman defeat at the Battle of Agaçayırı. Tarih indeed ends suddenly with this event. According to the Ottoman historian Sa'adü'd-din (d. 1007/1599), after that battle, a number of officers alleged to have shown cowardice including "the kethüda and the defterdar of Anatolia" were sent to Istanbul and imprisoned for a while. Considering that these were posts T.B. recorded among the offices he held during Mehmed II's reign, it is possible that the author was among the officers disgraced after the campaign, which may explain the abrupt ending of his Tarih.
Tarih-i Ebü'l-feth
T.B.'s major historical work, Tarih-i Ebü'l-feth, is not a systematic chronicle of events but essentially a panegyric on the reigns of Mehmed II and of its dedicatee Bayezid II. It belongs to a genre of history writing with a literary pedigree that goes back to Juvayni's (d. 681/1283) Tarih-i Cihanguşa and is the first example of its type in Ottoman Turkish. The introduction of the work can be placed in the tradition of nasihatname literature (Mirrors for Princes'), in which an imperial servant, in this case T.B., offers advice on rulership to the reigning Ottoman sultan. The main section of Tarih conforms to its Persian models in that T.B. uses the events he describes as exemplary incidents or occasions for eulogizing the Sultan. Hence his tendency to omit or gloss over events which, to the modern mind, might seem important, and to emphasize incidents which might appear trivial. For example, the most prominent incident in T.B.'s account of the first Qaraman campaign in 855/1451 is Mehmed II's refusal to accede to the demands of the janissaries, which the author evidently selected as an exemplary instance of the sultanic siyaset (execution for the greater good of the state and order) necessary for the preservation of order. In other places, T.B. highlights events, notably the defeat of the Moldavians in 866 /1461-62, because they are exemplary illustrations of divine intervention in human affairs.
The most prominent element in Tarih is panegyric. The specific models, which T.B. seems to have had in mind, were the panegyric histories of Timur. This is suggested not simply by the literary style, which emulates Niẓamaddin Shami (d. 812 /1409) and Sharafaddin Yazdi (d. 858/1454), but also by T.B.'s direct reference to Yazdi and his comments that Mehmed II had waged more Holy Wars than Timur. While this favorable comparison with Timur is above all a panegyric device, it is possible that T.B. intended to hint that the Ottomans had thrown off the ignominy of the defeat of 804/1402. The panegyric mode frequently determines the way in which T.B. presents events. Most obvious in this regard perhaps is the fact that the failed siege of Belgrade in 860/1456 is presented as a victory. In this specific case, T.B. glosses over the scale of the Ottoman defeat entirely and uses the death of Yanqo (Janos Hunyadi) as evidence that the Sultan had achieved his end.
T.B. makes it clear that he used a variety of sources for his introduction although he does not, for the most part, specify them. In several cases T.B. refers to his sources simply as "kütüb-i hikemiyye," or uses phrases such as "kütüb-i mu'teberede gördügümüz üzere," "hükemadan menquldur ki," and "hikayeti taqrir buyurdu," "hikayet ederler ki." While most of these phrases indicate a plurality of sources (for instance, "philosophical books"), it is not clear whether these are to be taken literally or simply as devices used to add weight to T.B.'s own statements.
T.B. seems to have interwoven material from both oral and written sources with that drawn from his personal experiences. A source which he identifies by name and parts of which can be collated with passages in his introduction is Nasiraddin Tusi's (d. 672/1274) Ahlaq-ı Nasiri. A second identifiable source T.B. seems to have used but does not mention by name is the Chahar Maqala of Niẓami-i Arudi of Samarqand (d. 552/1157). Although T.B. himself does not acknowledge, it is certain that his written sources are not limited to those he used in his introduction. While T.B.'s skill in modifying his sources renders them hard to detect, it is clear that he used Neşri's Cihan-nüma, which disproves the commonly held idea that T.B. did not use written sources in the composition of his Tarih.
Of the oral sources T.B. used in his introduction, the most important was Mahmud Paşa, the Grand Vizier of Mehmed II, whom he mentions by name and to whom he devoted almost half of Tarih's foreword. Apart from Mahmud Paşa; T.B. sometimes implies that he quotes other people, whom he does not identify.
T.B.'s Tarih's purpose, apart from being a history of his time, was also to guide and aid Bayezid II and justify his rule. This is evident above all in the "Introduction" to the book, where he follows the usual conventions of "Advice to Kings" literature. The historical events that the Tarih includes are as follows: An introductory section praises the Ottoman dynasty and especially Murad II. Murad II's abdication and accession to throne for a second time in 848/1444. Mehmed II's ascension to the throne in 855/1451. Mehmed II's campaign to Qaraman; 855/1451. The construction of the Bogazkesen castle; 856/1452. The characteristics of the Bogazkesen castle. The conquest of Constantinople; 857/1453. The re-building of Constantinople.

The conquest of Midilli (Mitylene); 866/1462. The Conquest of Bosna (Bosnia); 867/1463. The death of Qaramanoglı İbrahim Bey; 868/1464. The alliance of the crusaders, their attack on the Ottoman provinces and their defeat; 867/1463.
The second expedition to Bosnia; 868/1464. The Venetian siege of the castle of Midilli and the dispatch of Mahmud Pasha. The dispatch of Mahmud Pasha to the Balkans; 868/1464. The first Arnavud (Albanian) expedition and the construction of the fortress of İlbasan; 870/1466. The second Albanian expedition; 871/1467. The Qaraman expedition and the expulsion of Pir Ahmed; 872/1468. The conquest of the castle of İgriboz (Negroponte); 874/1470. The expeditions to Qaraman; 875/1471. The conquest of Ala'iyye (Alanya); 876/1471. The Aqqoyunlu attack on the Ottoman lands; 877/1472. The defeat of Uzun Hasan; 878/1473. The conquest of the castle of Kefe (Caffa); 879/1475. The Qara Bogdan (Moldavia) expedition; 881 /1476. The conquest of İskenderiyye (Shkodër) and Aqçahisar (Krujë); 883/1478. Gedük Ahmed Pasha's expedition against the island of Pulya (Apulia); 884/1479 and Mesih Pasha's expedition to the island of Rodos (Rhodes); 885/1480. The expedition on to the Mamluks and the death of Mehmed II; 886/1481. The interregnum. The accession of Bayezid II to the Ottoman throne; 886/1481. The Qara Bogdan expedition and the conquest of Kili (Kilia) and Akkerman; 889/1484. The dispatch of Qaragöz Beg to the Arabian lands and the dispatch of ʿAli Pasha to Qara Bogdan; 890/1485. ʿAli Pasha and Admiral Hersekzade Ahmed Pasha's Arabian expedition; 893/1488.
T.B.'s Tarih finishes abruptly with a mes̱nevi in which he prays for the ruling Sultan and for the Ottoman dynasty, expresses his thanks to God for granting him the facility to expound on the Sultan's holy wars, and finally states his intent to continue his Tarih if his health and life allows. This suggests that T.B. unwillingly abandoned his history's composition. While it is possible that he was too unwell to continue his work, it is also possible that some unknown event forced him to abandon it. A comparison of T.B.'s introductory and concluding remarks suggests that the author anticipated writing a rather long and ornamented conclusion to his work. Thus, it seems reasonable to deduce that something possibly went awry for T.B. during Ali Paşa's Arabian expedition in which the former was most probably present.
The inconsistencies and weakness in T.B.'s panegyric, together with the frequent clumsiness of his style, makes it difficult to judge his Tarih as an unqualified literary success, which may account for the later neglect of the work. Only Kemalpaşazade seems to have made use of it before the twentieth century. However, since it was the first work of its kind in Ottoman Turkish, some deficiencies in style can be considered inevitable.
T.B. evidently learned to write in this inşa style as a result of his employment in the Ottoman chancery. This chancery style, exemplified in the inşa manuals, was one in which Ottoman men of letters aspired to write, and T.B.'s Tarih is an early example of this genre.

In an unusual article about the navy of Iran's army (separate from the Revolutionary Guards), the Iranian semi-official news agency FARS brags on their achievements in reaching beyond their shallow waters, in a trend established in 2006.
The article says Iran's aim for the navy expansion is to establish their presence internationally; this is to protect the Iranian oil vessels from piracy near Somalia or wherever, and to maintain "regional and world security".
After visiting Bashar Al-Assad in Syria, third class Lebanese politicians (not main party leaders) continued their successful visits to the leaders of the world of free resistance; this time going to North Korea.
The Lebanese delegate met Kim Jong-un on Thursday morning and discussed how bad they believed the situation is in the west with their unbearable living standards, and how North Korea is on track to beat imperialism. Kim Jong-un expressed to the delegate how he experienced the corrupted west first hand while studying in Switzerland, rightly validating the reason why North Korean government employees currently get paid only 3$ per month.


I have been waiting a long time to find a phone with a 5" screen, SD card and removable battery and this one has them all. No longer am I forced to pay for higher data plans because you have to stream everything since there is no storage on any phones. Responsiveness is great and anyone who gives Windows Phone a chance will have a hard time returning to tired looking iOS or Android. And the price is half of each of those types of phones, at least any good Android phone. Plan to have this for a long time.
Bought this as a replacement for a 2 year old Lumia 920 with a cracked screen. May not be a real upgrade, but it is a good replacement. Supposedly it has a lower quality graphics processor, but I haven't noticed a difference in the apps and games I use. Nice big screen, excellent picture quality, and phone call quality. Qi charging works well. Also, I like the fact that both connectors (headset and USB) are on the top of the phone. Haven't had a chance to mess with the Fitbit yet, but I only got it because it was free.
I would have given this product 5 stars but I did not receive my Fitbit when the phone shipped. This phone is a great tool that works hand-in-hand with my Surface Pro 3. I take all my school notes on OneNote, which syncs up to my Lumia. Has great storage space, and even offers a MicroSD card slot. Switched to the Lumia after 4+ years with Apple and have to say that they are both equal in their performance. The Lumia's camera and customization really stand out over my old iPhone. Easy to use, and easy to transport.
Love this phone. Gorgeous screen, great camera, great sound and smooth OS. The only little thing I noticed is with a screen protector (which is super hard to find) the search button has trouble recognizing my finger. This comes with a black or green battery cover but it's pointless not having a case since it's slippery when naked. All in all a great buy for a WP fan.
Simply an Amazing phone! Battery life is fantastic. Call sound quality on both incoming and outgoing calls is great. I've had people say wow you sound really clear...like TOO clear. The phone is well built, but I'm not a fan of the plastic rear cover. Love the replaceable battery and MicroSD expansion. Camera quality is very, very good.
Slickest phone I've ever owned!

Sensitivity and decisional factors in the psychological refractory period
Ira H. Bernstein, Mark H. Clark, R. Randolph Blake
Three trained Ss responded to a pair of events presented at fixed interstimulus intervals (ISIs) of 33, 67, and 100 msec. Each event was the independent presence of a visual stimulus (S-P) or its absence (S-A), to which Ss were to respond or not, with a set for speed over accuracy. The probabilities of Sop occurrence [P(S)] to each of the events were varied. Pretrial verbal reports or behavioral hypotheses (BHs) werealso obtained. P(S), ISI, BH, and order (first vs second event) were all generally determinants of both RT to Sop and inhibition probability to S-A. However, when the RT data were corrected for inhibition probability, order was the only systematic effect that remained. The results were discussed in terms of approaches to the psychological refractory period derived from signal detection theory involving differential sensitivity as opposed to criterion.

Gus Andreone of Sarasota, Florida, the oldest member of the PGA of America, scored his eighth career hole-in-one on Wednesday.
Published: Thursday, December 18, 2014 | 9:17 a.m.
SARASOTA, Fla. (Dec. 17, 2015) -- Gus Andreone of Sarasota, Florida, the oldest member of the PGA of America, said he counts himself among the most blessed golfers. The 103-year-old PGA Life Member recorded his eighth career hole-in-one during a "Wacky Wednesday" golf outing at Palm Aire Country Club.
It is likely that he also now becomes the oldest person to record a hole in one. Previous news reports had the 2007 ace by Elsie McLean as the oldest person to ace a hole at 102.
Andreone, who plays three times weekly, used a driver from the green tees on the 113-yard No. 14 hole of the Lakes Course. "I hit it solid and the ball then hit the ground about 30 yards from the green and kept rolling, rolling and rolling," said Andreone. "It fell into the hole, which was cut on the right middle part of the green. Miracles do happen once in a while." Andreone pocketed $80 for earning a "skin" in the weekly club event.
The former Secretary of the Tri-State PGA Section, Andreone's playing partners were Palm Aire members Bob Clarke, Wayne Webster and Bob Goldman. Andreone, currently the longest serving PGA member at 75.6 years, won the Pennsylvania Lottery in 1983. He added a pair of wins in the Fantasy Five Lottery games after moving to Florida.
His first hole-in-one came in 1939 and his previous ace before Wednesday was in the 1990s on the No. 17 hole at the Lakes Course.
Andreone was celebrated in the clubhouse by Palm Aire members. He turned in a round of 83, while playing a 4,535-yard layout. "Each day is a blessing and you never know what it will bring," said Andreone.

Should fortune telling in Vietnam become a thing of the past?
By Editorial &nbspDecember 1, 2017 | 07:28 pm GMT+7
The murder of a baby allegedly prompted by a fortune teller's readings of the family's future has shocked the nation.
Fortune telling has for centuries been an indispensable part of life in Vietnam. But people don't just want to know about their future for the sake of knowing. It is widely believed in Vietnam that you can actually influence your destiny.
The fortune teller's job entails advising clients on how to avoid bad omens and make the most of good ones. This is why it's customary for Vietnamese to consult fortune tellers before important life events, be it choosing a new house, a life partner, wedding dates, when to have a baby, open a business and even funeral dates.
The most popular type of horoscope is perhaps tử vi, which foretells your career, wealth, relationships and health based on your sex and the time and place you were born. According to common usage/interpretation of tử vi, one's life is composed of certain pre-defined conditions that can't be changed (it works like privilege) and conditions that could be influenced by the choices we make (something like free will).
Considered by ardent followers as a science, the horoscope, they explain, is the product of years if not centuries of work, which based on observations, assigns life events to the forces of the universe.
Depending on the branch of tử vi, which originates from China's Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star Astrology), there are roughly 100 "stars" of varying cycles that at each hour of the day combine to yield a set of effects on a person born in that hour. The total collection of more than 500,000 combinations of these "stars" repeats every 60 years.
Other popular methods of fortune telling include palm reading, reading betel and areca nuts, western horoscopes and more recently, tarot cards.
Ask any Vietnamese person and they're likely to tell you a story of their own, or one of an acquaintance, that confirms that legit fortune tellers exist.
But these practices have also come at odds with modern life.
It's not uncommon to hear about a loving couple breaking up because fortune tellers say their stars don't align.
Every year after Vietnam's Lunar New Year, the media report how thousands flock to a pagoda in Hanoi that is perceived to be holy to chase away bad luck, effectively taking over one of the capital's main junctions.
Recently, in a rare and extreme case, a grandmother was arrested for allegedly killing her newborn granddaughter because a fortune teller had said she would bring bad luck to the family.
Some blame this on scammers eager to take advantage of gullible believers. Others have chosen to learn the art (or science) from books to help them navigate their own lives.
Meanwhile, skeptics have increasingly more options in today's society to deal with the uncertainties of life.
We have self-help books and inspirational speakers, proponents of free will as the guiding force as opposed to destiny.
Then, there's modern medicine to help prevent, predict and solve your physical and mental problems.
Life today is certainly less risky (unpredictable) than that of our ancestors, whose lives directly depended on a good harvest.
So what does fortune telling's continued popularity say about the needs of Vietnamese people?
Given advancements in science, medicine and much greater economic safety nets, is it time fortune telling was made obsolete?
Or does it deserve further studies and preservation not just for being part of Vietnamese culture, but also for carrying ancient wisdom still little understood by modern society?

De Onze-Lieve-Vrouw Onbevlekt Ontvangenkerk is een rooms-katholieke kerk aan de Kerklaan 9 in Hansweert.

De kerk werd in 1870-1871 gebouwd. Architect Theo Asseler ontwierp een zaalkerk in neoromaanse stijl. Boven de hoofdingang staat de toren met vier geledingen. De spits werd in 1940 bij oorlogshandelingen verwoest, waarna er een klein tentdak op de toren werd geplaatst.

De kerk beschikt nog over de oorspronkelijke kruiswegstaties. Het eenklaviers orgel werd in 1916 gemaakt door orgelbouwer J.M.H. Giesen uit Goes.

De kerk wordt tot op heden gebruikt door de "Parochie Oost-Zuid Beveland".

Despland, E. (2020) Ontogenetic shift from aposematism and gregariousness to crypsis in a Romaleid grasshopper. PLoS ONE, 15(8 august). (Scopus )
Traits of chemically-defended animals can change as an individual grows and matures, and both theoretical and empirical evidence favour a direction of change from crypsis to aposematism. This study examines the suite of traits involved in an unusual opposite shift from aposematism to crypsis in a neotropical toxic-plant-feeding Romaleid grasshopper, Chromacris psittacus (Gerstaecker, 1873). Field surveys, behavioural observations and a rearing experiment compare host plant choice, aggregation, locomotion and thermoregulation between life history stages. Results showed that both nymphs and adults fed exclusively on a narrow range of Solanaceae plants, suggesting that the shift in defensive syndrome is not due to a change in chemical defense. Instead, nymphal aposematism appears linked to aggregation in response to plant-based selection pressures. Slow nymphal development suggests a cost to feeding on toxic plant compounds, and grouping could mitigate this cost. Grouping also increases conspicuousness, and hence can favour warning colourating in chemically-defended insects. The role of diet breadth in aposematism is poorly understood, and these results suggest how constraints imposed by feeding on toxic plants can generate bottom-up selection pressures shaping the adaptive suites of traits of chemically-defended animals. © 2020 Emma Despland.

Q: object%20Object is prepending jQuery URL change I'm using jQuery to update the URL of a page onChange of a select list.
This is working except [object%20Object] is being added to the beginning and I can't figure out why.
jQuery(function($) {
$('#filterType').on('change', function() {
    var optionVal = $("#filterType option:selected").val();
    var parameter = "?cat="+optionVal;

    var url = $(this)+parameter;

    if (url) {
        window.location = url;
    }
    return false;
}); });

The only solutions to this problem I can find are with AJAX and aren't relevant to my code.
Any help is much appreciated.

A: That's because you are $(this) as prefix in url. which is jquery object of select element. You need to use window.location.href instead:
var url = window.location.href + parameter;

AT SINN FEIN'S FINAL press conference before Thursday's Westminster election Gerry Adams, Pat Doherty and Martin McGuinness called on the nationalist people of the Six Counties ``to change the face of politics'' and vote for Sinn Fein candidates across the board.
Adams said that, ``west of the Bann the nationalist electorate know that they have the ability to change the face of electoral politics and the election of Sinn Fein MPs will send a resounding message to the incoming British government that inclusive talks and honest negotiations, based on equality, are essential to the ending of conflict.
``Thursday's election will be a turning point which can change the face of electoral politics on this island. On Thursday voters have a choice between the hopeless politics of the past or of moving forward into a hopeful new future''.


Durban's hosting of its first Soweto derby between Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates since 2014 on Saturday will be an even bigger event than just the match, with four fans parks to be staged around the city.
Fans are expected not just to pack out the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban for Saturday's Soweto Derby, but also four different fan parks being set up in the coastal city for those who didn't get tickets.
Signalling the immense scale of the interest in the match, the Telkom Knockout semi-final at the 62,000-seat Moses Mabhida Stadium was sold-out within two hours of tickets going on sale.
But supporters who could not buy tickets will now have the opportunity of viewing the match on big screens at four public viewing areas, which is also part of Durban aiming to maximise the economic impact to the city of staging the derby.
A report outlining the cost of the fan parks as well as the widespread economic impact and benefit hosting the game will have on the City was tabled at Tuesday's meeting. The Executive Committee is the second-highest decision-making body in the eThekwini council.
"The tabled report states that there will be 55,000 spectators at the Moses Mabhida Stadium and a combined 30,000 spectators at the various public viewing areas.
"And with a share of 35,000 spectators coming from out of town, the projected spend of all spectators is approximately R40m. This is with a projected impact of the City's GDP of over R86m and an annualised job creation of over 1,800 sustained and temporary jobs created," the statement said.
The biggest of the fan parks is slated for New Beach on the famed Golden Mile beachfront – in close proximity to where the Fifa Fan Park was held in 2010. Between 10,000 and 15,000 spectators were expected to accommodated at New Beach, and there is no entrance fee.
"The other township viewing areas will be Max's Lifestyle in uMlazi, Artizen in KwaMashu and Comfortzone in Clermont. These fan parks are expected to accommodate between 5,000 and 10,000 people," the statement read.
"The report outlines the business opportunities for local small, medium and micro enterprises who will be afforded the opportunity to sell various offerings such as food, drinks, and regalia of the soccer clubs as well as the activation of beachfront tourism experiences such as rickshaw pullers at New Beach.
"The report states that these businesses will be exposed to a large number of foot traffic as people will be attracted to the fan park.
"Local artists will also be empowered with emerging talent scheduled to perform on stage during the match broadcast. They comprise 51 percent of the entertainment lineup at this fan park.
"Emerging township lifestyle establishments will also be afforded space to sell their refreshments, namely shisanyama, to the audience at the beachfront fan park, which will generate revenue and will allow them to gain market exposure beyond the townships where they are normally located.
Chiefs and Pirates meet in their second derby of the 2017-18 season, the first, an Absa Premiership league encounter at a sold-out FNB Stadium on Saturday, having ended in 2-1 win to the Buccaneers on October 27.
FNB Stadium was unavailable due to a pre-booked prayer meeting.


People from Tonawanda, North Tonawanda and beyond gathered at Niwanda Park on Sunday September 2nd for the Annual Car Show organized by the Tonawanda Post 264 and the Vietnam Veterans Chapter 77.
The event has been going on for ten years and organizers say that more than 200 cars were on display in this year's event.
Despite the rain to start the day, people of all ages were out enjoying the show and cherishing the opportunity to see all kinds of cars during Labor Day weekend.
Next year they are hoping even more people attend the event.
"Seeing all of the people that come out from Tonawanda, North Tonawanda and elsewhere make us excited to put this event together every year," said Smilinich.

Press Release -- February 21st, 2018
Source: Verizon
5G takes center court
Last month, Verizon demonstrated how 5G technology – connecting a pair of first person goggles and helmet-mounted cameras – could give two NFL players the ability to run plays and catch footballs in a virtual reality environment. This month, we took the technology from the football field to the basketball court and put it in the hands of two of the NBA's best players.
Shooting guard Bradley Beal and power forward Anthony Davis took a break from practice for the 2018 NBA All-Star Game to try on a pair of 5G-powered first-person goggles with attached video cameras for some shooting practice. The live video from the cameras was streamed over Verizon's 5G pre-commercial network and back to the goggles in near real-time, allowing both players to catch the ball and drain their shots almost as if they were seeing with the naked eye. A significant delay, or "lag," in that transmission could have impacted the players' hand-eye coordination and ability to make their shots. But 5G's super-fast speed and ultra-low latency made it possible.
"Verizon used NBA's All-Star Game weekend to test 5G technology and give NBA fans a sneak peek at the power of 5G," said Sanyogita Shamsunder, executive director of Technology for Verizon. "This is just the beginning of what Verizon and the NBA are doing to develop cool new technology experiences for the game and the fans."
Verizon continues to push the limits of 5G technology and to demonstrate some of the ways it will ultimately transform the ways people work, learn, travel and entertain themselves.
Learn more about Verizon's plans to launch 5G residential broadband services in up to five markets in 2018.

Very satisfied with a beautiful New Years arrangement ordered online and delivered on time, especially on New Years Eve! Ordering from out of state for delivery was easy and I was very happy that the delivery and product were as expected. Definitely will use them again.
Fast and attentive. I ordered a bouquet of flowers and a stuffed animal at 1:00pm to be delivered in Jupiter by five, they did it by four. Great service.
This shop is so amazing in customer service and caring. They have made beautiful memorable displays on several occasions. This last one for my father's 90th birthday.

Iris Chicago Continues to Grow: Welcoming a New Executive Creative Director
Iris Chicago welcomes their latest addition to the team, renowned creative, with a highly enriched background––Jayson Szott, as the new Executive Creative Director.
The hire is part of the exponential growth happening across Iris North America through a series of high-profile account wins for the agency, including being named Bentley Motors agency of record for experiential and PR, winning the strategic and creative account for retail giant Winn-Dixie and becoming the agency of record for brand and digital transformation for cloud HR solutions, Alight. In addition to new client wins, Iris' scope with existing clients such as adidas continues to grow. Last year the agency was responsible for creating adidas' unified global brand platform 'Ready for Sport' throughout the global pandemic and was appointed lead agency for PayPal.
Jayson Szott joined Iris back in July and has already been developing strong client relationships, empowering teams and leading campaign developments across the Chicago office for Alight, Zaxby's, and Lam Research, to name a few. He has also been a key piece in new business pitch development.
Throughout his career, Jayson has worked in every medium, including television, print and radio, to all things digital, like branded content, site builds, social and mobile. Jayson is a decisive yet collaborative digital vet and deeply rooted in a traditional idea-first mindset. For him, it's idea first, regardless if it's broadcast, branded content, digital, an interactive experience, social, print, etc. Not to mention, he is always in service of solving real business problems.
As he put's it, "The best work is born from a real truth, solves real business problems and creates envy in others. My goal is to make more of that kind of work."
Previously, Jayson was the Group Creative Director at dentsu mcgarrybowen, where he worked and led accounts for Olive Garden, Capri Sun, Lunchables, Kool-Aid, Maven (GM), Oscar Mayer, and JCPenney. Other experiences include working for Razorfish, Digitas, Edelman Digital, Organic, and Doner.
His work has been recognized by Cannes, the One Show, the Addys, the Effies and more. However, what he is most passionate about is supporting business growth. Most notably, he's helped Lunchables become the 5th billion-dollar brand at Kraft, helped Olive Garden to 24 quarters of consecutive growth, and has helped Jeep successfully launch an entirely new vehicle with an interactive feature film.

Melanie Gagich and Emilie Zickel
This book combines the Introduction to Writing in College by Melanie Gagich and ENG 102: Reading, Writing and Research by Emilie Zickel, which were both supported by Cleveland State University's 2017 Textbook Affordability Small Grant. The book was then revised, edited, and formatted by Melanie Gagich, Emilie Zickel, Yvonne Bruce, Sarah Lacy, John Lanning, Amanda Lloyd, Charlotte Morgan, and Rashida Mustafa. This work was made possible through the generous support of the Cleveland State University Office of the Provost.
Within each chapter there are sections written by Melanie Gagich, Emilie Zickel, or other members of the textbook team (see above) and authorial attributions are given. This book also contains other resources integrated under Creative Commons licenses. These open access resources include complete and also remixed chapters from Monique Babin, Carol Burnell, Susan Pesznecker, Nichole Rosevear, and Jamie Wood's The Word on College Reading and Writing, links to several essays from the open source textbook series Writing Spaces: Readings on Writing, and several links to articles from the open source website Writing Commons. Additionally, parts of this book also come out of a remixed version of Robin Jeffrey's, About Writing, which have been rearranged, amended, edited, and enhanced with digital reading experience by including videos and visual reading features. Shared and remixed materials will be denoted with attribution information when necessary.
When Melanie and Emilie decided to combine our individual textbooks, we decided that we wanted the new text to function more like a manual or guide to rhetorical concepts and writing genres, to composing in a college setting, and to helping students succeed in FYW at Cleveland State rather than a formal textbook. Together we conceptualized a text that does not necessarily answer all student questions or cover all material taught by FYW instructors at CSU or at other institutions. Instead, we wanted to create a text that is less prescriptive than a traditional textbook and allows for the picking and choosing of content by instructors and by students. We believe this type of text fosters student-centered pedagogies because it is a tool for students that supports them during many different writing moments such as when the instructor isn't there to reinforce concepts that have been discussed already in class.
Further, the text lacks a unifying tone because we feel that one of the central philosophies behind Open Access Educational Resources is the need for and importance of collaboration and the sharing and "remixing" of others' content. Our text was not written by one or even two authors, rather it is a collection of a diverse array of viewpoints and writing styles, which, to us, exemplifies one of the many ways that our book is different from a traditional, printed, and academic textbook. We feel that the inclusion of work by multiple authors can also provide a starting point for conversations in writing class about how writing "actually works in the real world" (Wardle and Downs).
In sum, the book cannot and should not replace the voice of the instructor. We envision it as a manual or guide also because we want all instructors to be able to use it how they see fit. We hope that this text will reflect not only our voices and the voices of our team of part-time instructors but also offer students resources for navigating and succeeding in college and support for working on writing assignments.

At the age of 3, Nikodem (Niko) Sarna can now use his right hand to grasp objects, and is learning to use it more in the tasks of everyday life. He works at the job and his progress shows. It is hard to believe that two short years ago he could barely use it at all.
A household mishap when he was three months old led his mother, Monica, and her husband Michal, to discover Niko had cerebral palsy.
Niko's diagnosis, right-sided hemiplegia, or weakness on the right side of his body due to cerebral palsy, was a shock.
Yet cerebral palsy can be caused by a momentary lack of oxygen to a baby's brain during pregnancy or delivery, and Monica's delivery had not been smooth.
Yet it was not until after the diagnosis that Niko began to show symptoms typical of the condition.
constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT), in which the child's unaffected arm is placed in a cast while the therapist takes the child through a course of therapy. The therapy seems like play, but the cast forces the child to use the affected hand, and the exercise leads to improvement. Originally introduced as part of the Helping Hands summer camp program at ErinoakKids, CIMT is now part of regular service offerings, and has become recognized as a leading best practice in the profession.
At one of Niko's early therapy sessions in February 2015, Kim began using a sock puppet as a modified version of CIMT, then moved ahead to the use of the cast in April 2015.
Monica attributes Niko's remarkable progress to his motivation and unique bond with Kim.
"When I tell him we're going to see Kim he can't wait to get to treatment," Monica says.
That special relationship, combined with his hard work and determination, is helping Niko see amazing results.
Each summer, ErinoakKids offers the Helping Hands Program for children with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy with hemiplegia, or weakness on one side of the body. The program helps children improve impaired hand and arm function through fun group games and arts activities such as painting, treasure hunts and magic!
