Q: Show a colour X Window Pixmap in the root window's background I have a got a colour X PixMap file, GCC compiler, a working X server on a display and a very simple task: show an XPM file in colour by a C/C++ program via the X Server running on a display.
I have googled a lot and my brain is completely broken. No information about XCreatePixmapFromData. I can't get in the xloadimage sources. But putting a 1-bit depth bitmat is successfull and I want such an easy solution for a colour pixmap.
Teh pixmap is ordinary and here it is, for example, I just wanna show that it has almost the same structure as an X BitMap file (an array of constant chars) and can be included in the C/C++ program... http://pastebin.com/b5QTrDTH
A simple code example drawing a colour pixmap would be great.
That should be easy, please help!
P. S. sorry, that's my first stackoverflow question.

A: The name of the function is XpmCreatePixmapFromData. It is described e.g. here along with other functions and data structures.
Basically you pass the XPM data and get back two things, a pixmap and a bitmap mask. If your pixmap is rectangular, you may ignore the mask. If not, you use it to set the mask in your GC. Then you use XCopyArea to copy from the returned pixmap to the window.
You may pass NULL as the "attributes" argument. If you don't, make sure the value mask is set correctly.
You need to link with the xpm library which you may have to download somewhere. It is not a part of X11 proper.
An example can be found here.

Me at The Seed Market!
Yesterday, I headed to The Seed Experience Market, a vegan pop-up market that just happened to be immediately next door to Veg Fest! This market is a vegan's dream. There are cruelty-free beauty products, food vendors, yoga classes, workshops, and lots of like-minded people. I found myself buying so much more than necessary out of the sheer excitement of all the options. For lunch, I had the most amazing "Rasta Roots Slider" by Monks Meats. The sandwich: smoked jerk seitan, organic green meat radish, roasted organic red beets, pickled organic carrots & vegan mayo on an Eli's slider ciabata. So good!!
Lagusta's Luscious: Hands-down the BEST vegan chocolates I've ever tried. Their caramels, in particular, are to die for! My favs: Rosemary Sea Salt, Thyme Preserved Lemon & Maple Pecan.

ARK Disrupt Issue 125: Autonomous Vehicles, DNA Sequencing, Deep Learning, & Fintech
Mentioned Companies: GOOG, PYPL, TSLA
Tags: Artificial Intelligence, Autonomous Vehicles, Deep Learning, DNA Sequencing, Electric Vehicles, Fintech, Genomics
1. If Saving Lives Won't Drive the Adoption of Autonomous Vehicles, Saving Money Could
Two fatal crashes and Tesla's decision to forgo eye-tracking technology have sparked another wave of articles focused on the safety of autonomous vehicles. Based on history, this wave is not a leading indicator of the adoption of autonomous vehicles.
Violations of laws associated with speeding, alcohol, and seatbelts accounted for roughly 27,000 of the 40,000 auto fatalities in the US in 2016, as shown in the graph below. Few of those lives would have been lost if autos were governed by a certain set of rules, such as no-go in the absence of seatbelt use or in the presence of a drunk driver, and no acceleration five miles per hour above the speed limit. Yet, unless all manufacturers were to agree to such rules, auto buyer preferences suggest that most consumers would opt for fewer rules and more freedom on the road.
While ARK's research shows that autonomous vehicles could reduce the number of accidents by over 80%, clearly an important metric for regulatory approval, consumers probably will be swayed more by their superior unit economics.

2. Drive.ai Uses Deep Learning to Test Autonomous Cars Without Safety Drivers
Started fewer than two years ago, Drive.ai is the second company after Google's Waymo to test autonomous cars with no safety driver on public roads. Instead, a safety engineer will sit in the passenger seat. Initially a "tele-choice operator" will monitor the cars remotely, sending suggestions and instructions instead of driving the vehicles remotely like Phantom Auto's service.
Drive.ai uses a deep learning approach to autonomous driving, as opposed to the more rules-based robotics approach. It also uses deep learning for annotation, improving system performance without scaling its team of annotators and enabling its cars to adapt more readily when sensors like cameras and LiDAR fail. Backed by Grab and partnered with Lyft, Drive.ai plans to launch ridesharing services this year.
Interestingly, with the exception of nuTonomy, autonomous teams are developing software systems with custom sensor sets, potentially preventing interoperability with other software stacks. Now owned by Aptiv, nuTonomy aims to adapt to different sensor suites and, while proprietary sensors could create barriers to entry once autonomous taxi networks launch, nuTonomy could dominate if interoperability becomes the gating factor.
ARK believes that autonomous taxi networks will submit to natural geographic monopolies, consolidating the auto market and giving a few companies the ability to capitalize on a potential $10 trillion opportunity.
3. Routine DNA Sequencing in Hospitals is Imminent
In a first-of-its-kind announcement, CEO David Feinberg, MD, announced that the Geisinger hospital system will expand its genomics program from research into routine clinical practice. It will provide patients with DNA sequencing in the same way that it tests for high cholesterol today. The cost of sequencing technology has been dropping at roughly 40% per year, giving Geisinger reason to believe that its routine implementation will enable early diagnoses and prevent expensive interventions, saving the health care system billions of dollars.
While Geisinger covers roughly half a million lives, its pilot sequencing program will enroll 1,000 patients at no cost for the first 6 months. Feinberg estimates that the tests to sequence the protein-coding region of the genomes, also known as whole exome sequencing, will cost $300-$500 each. Test results will allow physicians to assess patients' predispositions to disease and offer preventative measures. The patients will be responsible for follow-up care, including genetic counseling.
In collaboration with Regeneron's Genetic Center, Geisinger will anonymize sequencing data for population health studies and other research. They will be seeking a greater understanding of the underlying causes of disease.
If Geisinger is successful in illustrating the benefits of routine DNA sequencing, the impact should cascade throughout the health care system. Payer coverage should increase, to the benefit of all genetic testing companies. Adding genomic health data to electronic health records (EHRs) will become a priority, demanding state of the art technology including artificial intelligence and cloud-based solutions. If adopted across all health systems, genomic sequencing will enable better care while saving the healthcare system billions of dollars, a win-win.
4. Deep Learning's Compute Workload Has Soared 300,000x in Six Years
Source: OpenAI
The amount of computing power needed to train neural networks—the workhorse of modern AI—has grown 300,000x since 2012, according to a new analysis by OpenAI, as shown above. Unlike other forms of AI, deep learning can absorb almost unlimited amounts of data. As a result, researchers are building more elaborate computer systems to boost performance. AlexNet, the deep learning network that kicked off the modern era of AI, was trained on two GPUs while today's neural nets are trained on hundreds of GPUs or Tensor Processing Units (TPUs).
We estimate that Moore's Law, better chip design, and increased chips have contributed 7x, 12x, and 128x greater performance each, respectively, since 2012. As Moore's Law slows down, the key to performance will shift more to chip design and multi-chip scaling, which explain the booming AI chip startup scene and, after a decade of going nowhere, a sharp inflection in the server market.
5. PayPal Is Purchasing iZettle, Competing With Incumbents and With Square
On Thursday, PayPal announced an agreement to purchase iZettle, a Swedish payments company that is a "one-stop shop for cutting edge commerce tools – offering everything you need to make quick payments, ease day-to-day management, and get the funding to grow." The iZettle/PayPal integration should simplify the daily operations of small business, providing a payments platform both for in-store point of sale (POS) and for website sales. According to Bloomberg, the $2.2 billion acquisition will allow PayPal to expand in Europe and Latin America and to increase its presence in the bricks and mortar space.
At first blush, iZettle will help PayPal compete against Square, especially in Europe where Square is not entrenched. More important in our view, with much lower costs of customer acquisition, both companies are encroaching on traditional banking territory, which is ripe for disruption.

According to Charlie Lee, the creator of the Litecoin cryptocurrency, crypto investors have nothing to worry about if they can just keep their eyes on the long-term.
"It's all about speculation these days, but in the future, the price will reflect the success of cryptocurrencies," he told CNBC.
And it appears that the community have taken the message from the Litecoin founder seriously. Earlier in August, Lee praised a new wallet called Lite.im that allows people to send litecoin payments via the popular Telegram messaging app.

Juventus target makes Real Madrid admission
Juventus is battling Real Madrid for the signature of Eduardo Camavinga, and they will not like his latest admission.
The 18-year-old Frenchman has been a standout player for Rennes in the last two seasons after bursting onto the scene.
He is being monitored by a few top European teams and Juve wants to beat the competition to sign him.
However, Calciomercato says the midfielder recently granted an interview to RMC sport, and he admitted that he was flattered by Real Madrid's interest.
Los Blancos are being managed by legendary Frenchman, Zinedine Zidane who might be a reason why Camavinga makes the move there.
Juventus have been watching the Angola-born Frenchman for a long time now and there was even talk of him leaving Rennes this month.
But he also added in the interview that he plans to remain with his current team until the end of the season before deciding on his future.
Juventus has some of the best midfielders in Europe, but Camavinga looks a lot like a generational talent.
His next team will be big winners, especially if he leaves Rennes at the end of this season. This is because they will get to enjoy his development into the future.

%T Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility: Research on the Interconnection of Both Concepts and Its Impact on Non-Profit Organizations
%U http://waset.org/publications/10006824
%V 124
%X The aim of non-profit organizations (NPO) is to provide services and goods for its clientele, with profit being a minor objective. By having this definition as the basic purpose of doing business, it is obvious that the goal of an organisation is to serve several bottom lines and not only the financial one. This approach is underpinned by the non-distribution constraint which means that NPO are allowed to make profits to a certain extent, but not to distribute them. The advantage is that there are no single shareholders who might have an interest in the prosperity of the organisation: there is no pie to divide. The gained profits remain within the organisation and will be reinvested in purposeful projects. Good governance is mandatory to support the aim of NPOs. Looking for a measure of good governance the principals of corporate governance (CG) will come in mind. The purpose of CG is direction and control, and in the field of NPO, CG is enlarged to consider the relationship to all important stakeholders who have an impact on the organisation. The recognition of more relevant parties than the shareholder is the link to corporate social responsibility (CSR). It supports a broader view of the bottom line: It is no longer enough to know how profits are used but rather how they are made. Besides, CSR addresses the responsibility of organisations for their impact on society. When transferring the concept of CSR to the non-profit area it will become obvious that CSR with its distinctive features will match the aims of NPOs. As a consequence, NPOs who apply CG apply also CSR to a certain extent. The research is designed as a comprehensive theoretical and empirical analysis. First, the investigation focuses on the theoretical basis of both concepts. Second, the similarities and differences are outlined and as a result the interconnection of both concepts will show up. The contribution of this research is manifold: The interconnection of both concepts when applied to NPOs has not got any attention in science yet. CSR and governance as integrated concept provides a lot of advantages for NPOs compared to for-profit organisations which are in a steady justification to show the impact they might have on the society. NPOs, however, integrate economic and social aspects as starting point. For NPOs CG is not a mere concept of compliance but rather an enhanced concept integrating a lot of aspects of CSR. There is no "either-nor" between the concepts for NPOs.

Careers Education, Information, Advice & Guidance.
We strongly believe that high quality CEIAG is crucial in order to enable all learners to meet their full potential. Matthew Moss has a strong track record of success with its CEIAG programme, as demonstrated by its consistently outstanding 'destination' data.
What is CEIAG? And Raising the Participation Age.
Did you know all learners must now remain in learning until their 18th birthday?
Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) programmes make a major contribution in preparing young people for opportunities, responsibilities and experience of life after Year 11. They help young people make decisions and manage transitions as learners and workers. It is vital that all 11-16 year olds have the knowledge and skills they need to make informed choices. We strive at all times to conform to the current "best practices" in Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance laid down by the government.

Philips earnestly longed for salvation; his heart was full of fear that he might not be saved. He took refuge in his books, he read all the Jewish writings, the Mishnah and the Gemara, the Midrash Rabbah and the Targum, an Aramaic translation of the Bible, and numerous other writings. Yet nothing could satisfy the longing of his heart; nowhere could he get information on the matter. In whom could he confide? He could not think of any member of his congregation who could help him; and there was the possibility that he might be suspected of wanting to forsake Judaism.
Now it so happened that just during that time of fear and doubt Rabbi Jacob Freshman, a believer in Yeshua (Jesus), was working in New York. He was the director of an outreach to his people. It was his privilege to lead many Jewish people to the Messiah. Philipp Philips felt himself attracted to this man. But he did not risk going to him during the day because he knew that it would be a very dangerous thing for him, a Rabbi, to visit such a man openly. Consequently, he decided to go there late one night.
At once Moody saw that he had said the right thing, and rejoiced; "Praise the Lord!" Moody told him also that he and Dr. Rosvally, the well-known physician, had prayed for him. He requested him to read the New Testament, but Philips refused because he was afraid of persecution should traditional Jewish people find out. Moody, however was not easy to get rid of and he offered the Rabbi a New Testament, asking Phililps to read the first chapter of the Gospel according to Matthew. Still he refused, saying it would be impossible for him to believe in the Jesus of Moody. But in the end he accepted the book.
And what a discovery he made! He thought he would find in it a fountain of pride, selfishness, hatred and violence. Instead he only found love, humbleness and peacefulness. Instead of stones he found pearls. Where he was afraid of thorns, roses diffused their scent. Where he thought to read of life's burden, he read of blessedness, resurrection and heavenly treasures. Now he could understand the narratives of the Old Testament in the wonderful light of the New Testament. As God had led his fathers in the wilderness in a pillar of a cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night, so he saw in Jesus the Guide who has to lead us, human beings, on the way of Salvation. He realized that the "half had not been told" to him and he then believed that Jesus was his Messiah and Savior and God in Whom he saw the Redeemer of Israel and of the whole human race.
Soon he was getting his share of persecution. His friends did not understand him, and attributed his faith in Yeshua to blindness. The fact that people asked him how much money he had been paid to become a Christian caused him a great deal of pain. But he knew that he could not expect anything else from them.
The unkindest blow came from his mother who wrote to him as follows: "Phillipp! You are no longer my son. We have buried you… You have deserted your father's religion and the Synagogue for the deceiver, Jesus, and therefore a curse will be upon you." This letter wounded him deeply although he knew that a Jew has to give up everything when he decides to follow Jesus.
The more his people hated and despised him, the more fervently he loved them and prayed for them. After three weeks he was able to send his mother a kind and loving reply to her letter, and could only long for the day when he would be able to take the message of the Messiah to his dear ones.
His one desire was proclaim the Good News of Yeshua the Messiah, a desire that was realized through the help of God. For many years he faithfully served his Messiah.

                            item.append(head,info);
                        });
                        $("#list_is_got").html(item);
                    }
                }, "json");
               });

A: Probably to do with failure to increment offset.
Try changing :
var offset = offset + limit;

to :
offset += limit;

About the FIG
As early as 4,000 years ago, the people of China practiced Gymnastics exercises purely to benefit their health and promote longevity. In Ancient Greece, where perfection of the human physique was highly celebrated, Gymnastics was practised by men and women. The Ancient Greeks prized Gymnastics so much it was part of the Ancient Olympic Games, making it one of the world's oldest sports along with athletics. Gymnastics was utilised by the Ancient Romans to turn their soldiers into finely tuned machines.
Physical activity to promote health and happiness was one of the developments of the Age of Enlightenment, when Greek classical education was revived and heralded by thinkers who presented concepts linking the soul and the body. Coming on the heels of the Scientific Revolution, this era led to physical education as a science and quickly, a societal and nationalistic concept. Governments mandating physical activity led to the "Battle of the Systems" as debate raged over what the best exercises were, with promoters of different schools of physical education arguing their merits over the others. During this era, the first seeds of the sport of Gymnastics and its future competitive disciplines were sewn, and Artistic Gymnastics returned as a sport at the first Modern Olympic Games in 1896.
Cuperus, who founded the FIG in 1881, saw Gymnastics as an activity that was good for the body and mind - and above all, non-competitive. This vision was shared by only a small number of his associates, and as the years passed competitions were slowly integrated into the FIG's activities. The move toward competition culminated in the first international tournament held in Antwerp - Cuperus's hometown - in 1903. Today, that event is recognised as the first World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.
Large group performance
Despite its new competitive dimension, Cuperus's idea of "Gymnastics for the masses" did not disappear. By the time the FIG was established, Gymnastics had been rooted into the fitness regimes of soldiers, and the military influence on the sport - marching out, saluting the judges at the beginning and end of a routine and the parade of flags - is still evident today.
Cuperus continued to cultivate his preferred brand of the sport, which was about facilitating social cohesion during a 19th century rife with industrial transformation and political upheavals. His vision followed the message long promulgated by the founding fathers of the activity, including Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Friedrich Ludwig Jahn and Per Henrik Ling.
Today, the Gymnastics for All movement strives to bring nations together through a world of movement and physical activity, contributing to global health, fitness and friendship. Anyone, regardless of age, shape or ability can take part in Gymnastics for All activities as part of a daily fitness routine.

It's an idea that many think could provide Australia's next great export industry and one that ARENA is determined to explore.
The Australian Renewable Energy Agency is launching a Request For Information seeking input from industry, research institutions and governments to assess how Australia might develop export capabilities based around renewable energy and hydrogen.
"There is a global interest in clean renewable energy and a number of markets have identified hydrogen and its associated materials as key supply," ARENA chief executive officer Ivor Frischknecht said.
The request follows the South Australian Government's recent call for tenders for hydrogen infrastructure proposals as part of a move to build a "hydrogen economy".
Australia has vast renewable energy resources, good export capabilities and strong relationships with key international energy markets.
As the global economy transitions to low-emission energy alternatives, Australia is expected to be well positioned to export renewable energy to meet the energy needs of other nations (for example, in the form of hydrogen).
We've previously written about the vast potential for a renewable energy export industry, particularly one that involves using renewable energy to create hydrogen from water and then converting it into a form that can be safely and economically exported to the world.
Nations such as Japan and South Korea, where interest in renewables is high but the ability to generate them domestically can be limited, have been flagged as potentially vast export markets for hydrogen, which can be converted into a form suitable for transit in various different ways.
Japan in particular has expressed a desire to place hydrogen at the centre of meeting its future energy needs. And it has set an ambitious target that 100 per cent of the hydrogen used for energy will be generated by renewables by 2040. It also has plans to power the 2020 Olympic Village using hydrogen.
ARENA signalled the importance it is placing upon exporting renewable energy by making the concept one of the agency's four investment priorities earlier this year.
Those priorities are put in place to guide ARENA's investment strategy and to set out areas of clear importance for the future. This request for information represents the first step towards translating that recognition into concrete action.
Now we are seeking input from leading experts in the field in order to further the development of sustainable, renewable energy export supply chains.
Depending on information received, ARENA may decide to develop a dedicated funding round or process with regards to research and development or project-related activities.
Responses close at 5pm on October 18.
The production of renewable hydrogen. This commonly involves using renewable energy sources such as wind or solar to power an electrolyser, which splits water into its constituent parts (hydrogen and oxygen). Less common methods include using ultraviolet light for artificial photosynthesis, heat to power chemical reactions and even bacteria to produce renewable hydrogen.
The conversion of gaseous hydrogen to a substance or form suitable for export. In its gas form, hydrogen is difficult to transport. It needs a large volume compared to the amount of energy it has, and is such a small molecule that it can pass through steel containers! It must be converted into another substance in order to make export practicable. One way in which this can be done is by turning hydrogen into ammonia (an established process) but it could also be effected by creating liquid hydrogen or by techniques such as allowing hydrogen to be adsorbed onto solid nanomaterials.
The (re)conversion of an exportable substance to hydrogen or some other form and its use as an energy source. After being exported (most likely by ocean-going tankers) the exported substance must be re-converted to hydrogen (which is currently used as a fuel in many countries) or converted into some other substance that can be used as fuel.
So why aren't we selling hydrogen right now? Current technology and market circumstances are such that renewably produced hydrogen is not yet commercially viable to support export scale deployment. There is plenty of opportunity for innovation and it is here that ARENA expects its focus will initially settle, on research and development or small-scale pilot and demonstration scale projects.
Responses associated with projects at later developmental stages are also welcomed. These may already be eligible for funding under ARENA's Advancing Renewables Program which targets more advanced projects and concepts.
The request for information is an invitation to those with an interest in renewable hydrogen to play a role in helping to develop the sector. Responses will help ARENA to understand how our involvement can make a difference in fast-tracking promising research and helping to support the deployment of innovative pilot and demonstration scale projects.
We've asked potential respondents if they'd be interested in the creation of an industry roadmap to help guide decision making and investment in this emerging area.
We're also asking what are the current barriers to investment and development that currently exist when it comes to exporting hydrogen and how ARENA might be able to assist with lowering those barriers.
And we've asked researchers who respond to tell us how their work compares internationally in terms of innovation and technological advancement.
The RFI Subject Area does not include renewable energy embodied in processed raw materials such as minerals and fuels derived from biomass or waste sources, or direct export of electricity, for example via DC cable.
It's not that ARENA is not interested in those areas (we are very interested). But those investment areas are currently already being considered under the ARENA Advancing Renewables Program (ARP) and approaches can be made through that channel.
Responses and inquiries should be emailed to hydrogenrfi@arena.gov.au by 5pm on October 18.
More information about the RFI process can be found here.

Q: MySQL connection with DBVisualizer I've created a user (1caap) in mysql root account and given read only privileges for this user to one of my database. Now my client(1caapuser) is unable to access this database. I've established the connection using Workbench. He's getting the following error when he's trying to access this database using DBVisualizer:
An error occurred while establishing the connection:
   Type: java.sql.SQLException   Error Code: 1045   SQL State: 28000
Message:
   Access denied for user '1caapuser'@'x.x.x.x' (using password: YES)

Please help me out if i'd missed any settings at the earliest.

A: To resolve this issue you have to grant all privileges on database with identified by the password
Command to run:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON yourDBname.* TO username@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

A: Check the following for more details about the error you get:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/access-denied.html
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/error-access-denied.html
You must most likely grant proper access for the user at the given IP address/host name. Such as:
grant  on . to ''@'';
Check the users guide which specific privileges and what target objects to grant. The important clause above is that you need to specify 'user'@'ip-address'.
Again, check the users guide as there may be a collection of reasons for the error you get.

Q: Rspec validates_uniqueness_of test failing with additional validation errors I have 2 scoped uniqueness validations on my answer model, I am trying to test these using Rspec and the respective shoulda matchers.
As seen in the test trace below, the uniqueness validations message is present in the errors array however, there are also 2 and sometimes 3 other errors present; "body can't be blank (nil)", "body is too short (minimum is 10 characters) (nil)", "user_id can't be blank (nil)". I'm not sure where they are coming from, as body and user attributes are set explicitly in the before block.
How can I correct these additional errors so the uniqueness test will pass?

A: It's failing because you're not testing @answer.  You're not defining your subject in these tests.  So it's using rspec's subject which by default is going to a new instance of whatever class you're describing, ie. Answer.new.  You either need to explicitly set the subject to @answer or explicitly test @answer.
describe Answer do
  it { should validate_uniqueness_of(:correct).scoped_to(:question_id).with_message("correct You can only have 1 correct answer per question (true)") }
  it { should validate_uniqueness_of(:user_id).scoped_to(:question_id).with_message("user_id Only 1 answer per question per user (1)") }

La volpe volante di Kosrae (Pteropus ualanus ) è un pipistrello appartenente alla famiglia degli Pteropodidi, endemico dell'Isola di Kosrae nell'arcipelago della Micronesia.

Descrizione

Dimensioni
Pipistrello di medie dimensioni, con lunghezza dell'avambraccio tra 130,5 e 133,5 mm, la lunghezza della testa e del corpo tra 187 e 199 mm e un'apertura alare fino a 95,7 cm.

Aspetto
Il colore del dorso è nerastro, leggermente cosparso di peli argentati, mentre le parti ventrali sono bruno-nerastre, anch'esse cosparse di peli. Le spalle (mantello), i lati del collo e la nuca sono giallo-brunastre. Il colore della testa passa gradualmente dal marrone scuro al nerastro delle parti inferiori. Le orecchie sono di forma arrotondata e di dimensioni moderate. La tibia è priva di peli. È privo di coda, mentre l'uropatagio è ridotto da una sottile membrana lungo la parte interna degli arti inferiori.

Distribuzione e habitat
L'areale di questa specie è ristretto all'Isola di Kosrae nell'Arcipelago della Micronesia.

Sono stati individuati due luoghi stabili di dimora sull'isola: uno presso l'imbocco dell'Utwe-Walung Channel nella parte Sud, mentre l'altro su di un isolotto ricoperto di mangrovie presso Lelu, in un'area molto più sviluppata.

Vive in foreste e mangrovie, dove forma piccole colonie.

Tassonomia
In accordo alla suddivisione del genere Pteropus effettuata da Andersen, P. ualanus è stato inserito nello P. mariannus species Group, insieme a P. mariannus stesso, P. loochoensis, P. pelewensis, P. tonganus e P. yapensis. Tale appartenenza si basa sulle caratteristiche di avere un ripiano basale nei premolari, cranio tipicamente pteropino e le spalle di un colore più brillante rispetto al resto del corpo.

Stato di conservazione
La IUCN Red List, considerato che un evento catastrofico come un tifone potrebbe decimarne la popolazione, anche se tuttora il numero di esemplari si consideri stabile, classifica P. ualanus come specie vulnerabile (VU).

La CITES ha inserito questa specie nell'appendice I.

Feed-Master is a service that aggregates and publishes RSS feeds. It can pull multiple feeds from different sources and publish them to a single feed. The service normalizing all the feeds to make sure the combined feed is valid, compatible with podcast clients and compatible with RSS 2.0 specification.

In addition to making RSS feeds, Feed-Master can also publish updates to both twitter and telegram. In case of telegram the actual mp3 audio file is published too. In case of twitter the mp3 audio file is published as a tweet with a link to the original audio file and with the episode info, like title and/or description.

Feed-Master supports extracting audio from youtube channels and use it to make the final feed. The service uses [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) to pull videos and [ffmpeg](https://www.ffmpeg.org/) for audio extraction. In this mode feed-master serves the audio files in addition to the generated RSS feed.

## Run in docker (short version)

- Copy `docker-compose.yml` and adjust exposed port if needed
- Create `etc/fm.yml` (samples provided in `_example`)
- Start container with `docker-compose up -d feed-master`

_example of docker-compose.yml available in [_example](https://github.com/umputun/feed-master/tree/master/_example)_

## Main application parameters

| Command line | Environment  | Default               | Description                           |
|--------------|--------------|-----------------------|---------------------------------------|

## Configuration

Usually, feed-master configuration is stored in `feed-master.yml` file. It is a yaml file with the following structure:

```yaml
feeds:
  yt-example: # feed name, can be repeated for multiple source feeds
    title: Some cool channels # feed title
    description: an example of youtube-based podcas # feed description
    link: http://localhost:8080/feed/yt-example # link to the source site
    language: "ru-ru" # feed language

### Single-feed configuration

For a very simple configuration, command-line only configuration is available. In this case only a single sopurce feed is allowed and yt processing is disabled.  The command-line configuration is the following:

| Command line     | Environment         | Default                    | Description                               |
|------------------|---------------------|----------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| feed             | FM_FEED             |                            | single feed, overrides config             |
| update-interval  | UPDATE_INTERVAL     | `1m`                       | update interval, overrides config         |
| telegram_chan    | TELEGRAM_CHAN       |                            | single telegram channel, overrides config |

Name of the channel or numeric ChatID could be used, [here](https://remark42.com/docs/configuration/telegram/#notifications-for-administrators) are the instructions on obtaining the ChatID. To be able to post messages to the channel, bot must be added as administrator with Post permission.

All this command-line mode is good for - process a single feed, send a telegram message and send a tweet on each new item.

The Ethereal Landscapes Of Peruvian Artist Juan Aquino Offered By Onessimo
Onessimo Gallery in West Palm Beach, Florida are now offering a selection of the "ethereal" landscapes of Juan Aquino for sale. I have a personal soft spot for the style. I do not know much about Mr. Aquino, excepting that he is from Peru. Interestingly he has a Bachelors degree in psychology and worked as a psychologist for the Employment Ministry for eight years. He then studied drawing at the Nationals School of Fine Arts in Lima. He also has a Bachelors in Visual Arts from the University of Quebec.
Aquino has worked as a decorative artists and had solo shows in Canada and Latin America.
The Chicago Comic And Entertainment Expo Education Booths
There were a few schools at the 2011 C2E2 and I took time to chat to a couple of them. Westwood College in Dupage (who had their own comic book sample). The Institute for Comic Studies booth was manned by a nice young woman, Hanna Kim, who is a student at the Art Institute of Chicago.
I don't know much about degree programs that lead to a career in drawing comics or drawing graphic novels. But one thing I do no intimately is that taking classes isn't a bad thing. Getting into debt taking classes is always a bad thing, unless you are becoming a patent attorney or an M.D.
Nonetheless these videos are worth a look. I might look further into this and find out if it is a sign of something mentioned in the first written piece about C2E2—is this sort of art gaining acceptance in fine art circles? Westwood might not be in the middle of that circle but the Art Institute certainly is. If I get inspired maybe I will look into a larger piece on this and maybe on what the average illustrator makes and how much you want to spend on the path to that career.
Wow, this is kind of a downer of a written bit. I wish I could draw, I would make a smiley face or something.
David Rodriguez, Writer Of Starkweather Immortal Chats At C2E2
Starkweather Immortal is a graphic novel adapted by David Rodriguez from a short story by Piers Anthony. The books are illustrated by Patrick McEvoy and lettering by Charles Pritchett.
Rodriguez was at C2E2 to promote the book—actually a prequel, the original book is currently out of print. Hopefully not for long. I will leave the plot to him. I remember reading stuff by Piers Anthony when I was a kid. His plots always are kind of tough to describe.
Again, I apologize for the audio. I am really looking into a external microphone for this camera.
Kris Simon Talks About Comicspipeline.com Where You Can Buy Artwork By Your Fave Comic Artists
Kris Simon runs the Comics Pipeline website which is a conduit where you can buy art from noted artists of comics and graphic novels. Among the artists carried are Talent Caldwell, Ben Templesmith, Marcus Perry, Menton J. Matthews, Tyler Kirkham, Jenny Frison, Daniel Leister, Dirk Manning, and many others.
The site has exclusive pieces you cannot find elsewhere and is worth a look for all you enthusiasts. These really are the crème de la crème of graphic novel and comics artists. Quite a collection and the pieces on the site are memorable.
Dave Pauwels, Writer Of Free Mars Talks About His Comic At C2E2
Free Mars is a weekly online comic written by Dave Pauwels and drawn by Nicolas R. Giacondino. Pauwels was at C2E2 while Giacondino was unable to make it (he is from Argentina, we will cut him some slack). As Pauwels notes in the video the comic appears as a sort of "comic strip" and then is collected into a physical comic…three..four times a year? I don't know. He says in the video. Watch it.
You can find out more, b and see the ongoing story at www.freemarscomic.com. If you like Sci-Fi and rock n roll and hookerbots this is the comic for you (pervert).
Menton 3 At C2E2 2011 On Art, HIgh Art & Conventions
Pardon the bad audio as I had no external mic with me. I will do better next time (new camera). I am so getting a good microphone.
Menton 3, Fine Artist
I once saw Menton Matthews strangle a guy with his bare hands. Ok, I didn't really but I wanted to get your attention. One of the first interviews done at Mapanare.us was done for artist Menton Matthews III(aka Menton 3). At the time he had released his own, self-released graphic novel, Ars Memoria. He also had a part in the IDW release (now a hardback) Zombies Vs. Robots (my heart is with the zombies but my money on the robots). He was in the early stages of working on Silent Hill, Past Life when we spoke. He did the art for all four issues from that series and has his own comic coming out on IDW in October. He is writing AND doing the art for this mysterious comic (he never talks about the upcoming stuff…team player).
I look at his macabre artwork and I see it in museums as well as in graphic novels.
I once saw Kasra Ghanbari strangle a...that doesn't work twice in a row does it? I spoke a little to both Matthews and his agent, Kasra Ghanbari. Would love to have chatted more about "breaking" an underground artist. Who knows? Maybe we will.I was razzing Ghanbani a little in the video, not being serious but I sound like a dick. The next step for Matthews and Ghanbani is fine art. A little later we will post a short interview on a website selling exclusive works by Matthews and other comic artists. By the by I like the term "comic" more than "graphic novel."
The Walking Dead Panel At C2E2, Humor And Rumors
Usually I include TV in the movie section (when it comes up…it usually doesn't) but since this was part of C2E2 it is here. And I also think The Walking Dead is art.
Laurie Holden & Jon Bernthal Of The Walking Dead
C2E2 's panel from The Walking Dead consisted of a moderator and two of the actors from the show, Jon Bernthal, who had small parts in movies such as World Trade Center, Date Night and The Ghost Writer, as well as tons of TV and Laurie Holden of The X-Files, The Shield, Silent Hill and a ton of other films and TV.
The Walking Dead is a ratings champ cable zombie extravaganza was the most highly anticipated new show of 2010 (by me at least). It didn't disappoint, except when I saw some whining about how they was talking that interrupted the shooting and growling of zombies. The show is great, down to the details, which is always the difference between good and great. Great starts with great writing, of course and both Holden and Jon Bernthal noted that director Frank Darabont doesn't write every script but he certainly "Frankifies" each and every one.
In general, panels at book fairs and shows of asimilarsort, are not always scintillating. Sometimes the people do not want to be there. Sometimes they are stiff and inarticulate. That wasn't the case here at all.
Commenting on his character's liaison with his best friend's wife Bernthal said, "Things happen in a zombie apocalypse."
When you hear and see Bernthal he comes across as totally different sort from his character. He comes across as laid back and gregarious but on the show his gravitas somehow makes him OLDER. That is good acting. And horror acting may not be trying to do comedy but when your premise is fantastic to be able to play it with Gregory Peck-like seriousness is impressive.
After Holden, in response to a audience question, gave a heartfelt discussion of how the uncertainty in the world has bred a certain fear and that if there were a zombie apocalypse she would gather those close closer Bernthal said "I'd call my best friend's girlfriend."
At one point, while praising the minds behind The Walking Dead (and taking a shot at others in the industry), Bernthal made a hand gesture as he said some directors just wanted to stroke their…egos…during auditions, that those in charge at The Walking Dead made the process humane. He then realized there were kids present and tried to make his language more PG. Instead, every sentence he said included at least ONE word that could be interpreted in, let's say, another way. Finally he said "I am not going to talk anymore". Mercifully that wasn't true. He even extended the questions by saying he felt bad people had been cut off telling people to quickly shout out some questions.
Holden wasn't at all SILENT during this. Bernthal just, sometimes accidentally, received more of an audience reaction.
Holden mentioned there was a RUMOR Stephen King might write an episode. A rumor from a CAST member? Hmm.
An audience question also mentioned how, in the last episode, set at the CDC the CDC guy whispers something to Holden's character Andrea. They asked both what they thought he said. Bernthal answered that he had no idea and Holden said that it was in the script saying; don't you read the script? (to laughter). Of course, they never did say what he whispered.
Given that Bernthal said you do not even learn your lines before a script has been "Frankified" maybe he DIDN'T!
Another questioner noted that Bernthal's character, by the time the first season ended, would be long dead in the comics said you never know when you might get killed on a show like this. He noted that he was in a movie, Tony & Tina's Wedding (he also said only his mom and he had seen it..he is wrong…I saw it. I have no idea why). A number of the actors from The Sopranos were in the film and they all told him that you never know when you are going to get "whacked."
It must add a certain edge to the production when you might be dead in the next script. It is to be hoped both of these actors live long and healthy on the show as they are a huge part of why the series is so compelling.
A picture of the giant screen. I need a new lense. I know. Shut up.
Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo;Where Else Can You Find Comics, Art, Entertainment And Guys Dressed Like Thor?
Comic book conventions are full of dorks. I don't know, maybe, depending on your definition of the term but I returned a few hours ago from C2E2( Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo)) and I vowed that not only am I going next year, I am going and I plan to dress up like freakin' Batman. Or, at least that is what I said at the convention. Later I decided I would have an online vote at Mapanare.us to determine my costume (left to this site's readers I figure I will wind up going as Wonder Woman or garbed only in tape like Milla Jovovich in The Fifth Element). This expo was (and as this posts still IS) a blast.
I decided, fairly last minute, to head to this with my son and I had NO idea that I would interview anyone. But once I was there I had my camera, so why the HELL not. I also went to a couple of panels which I thought were worth talking about (although my photos from both are dubious). My videos, which will be posting soon, also have rather dubious sound for which I apologize. I came unprepared. I was never a Boy Scout. This will not, regrettably, be as extensive as the stuff on the peripheral Art Basel fairs. But there is, in my mind, a connection.
One of the interesting parts of this sojourn included a few discussions I had, on and off camera, about "comic art" as "high art." Personally I refuse to accept any such distinction as they remind me of days of yore when priests read entrails and told us our future or chatted with the most high in guarded rooms where the common dare not tread. Some guy dressed up as Wolverine has every right to pontificate about art as a MFA teaching at the Art Institute--although they might actually agree as well, I don't sell all academics short mind you. And after decades of being ripped off by fine artists I suppose the artists behind comics are getting more of their due.
But beyond the art it is just a nice event for people of all ages; panels include discussions on comics of course, but also television and film. Shows including The Walking Dead, The Vampire Diaries and True Blood were all represented. There are toys kids can actually play with and others you wouldn't dare take out of the package lest Thor smite you.
A view from on high...or the food court
The people present, whether vendors, artists or just your average attendee were pretty uniformly pleasant. They even talked to strangers, regardless of if they were guys dressed in "Poison Ivy" costumes. Think about that for about three seconds. When was the last time you went to a concert, a sporting event or even an art show and were able to say that people were pleasa? I will even give you longer than three seconds. I know I do hit an inordinately high volume of indie rock establishments so maybe I am biased in thinking pleasantness unusual.
And please feel free to leave comments about dorkiness. I worked all day on my comebacks. It would be a terrible shame to waste them.
RARE Holding Opening Reception For NYC Solo Debut Of Painter Christina Shurts
Where the Wild Ponies Are, 2011
Artist, Christina Shurts first NY solo show, Luxury Soup, begins with an opening reception at RARE from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, March 17 at 547 W 27th St #514, NYC.
This is not Shurts first solo exhibition ANYWHERE apparently but her fifth. I like the first part of the description of Shurts paintings in the press releases; "Shurts' latest work embodies a nostalgic longing for getaways and vacationlands of both a recollected past and an idealized future."
Isn't that a nice sentence? It makes me want to see the show. And here I was talking to a friend about how galleries write terrible press releases, even worse than when rock bands try to write their own PR. And here comes RARE to prove me wrong.
Shurts did her undergraduate work at University of California at Irvine and received an MFA from California State University at Long Beach. She has been exhibited at the Torrance Art Museum, Lawrence Asher Gallery, Pacific Design Center, L.A. Municipal Art Gallery, Gatov Gallery, Saatchi Gallery and LOFT Gallery. She has also been included in two recent issues of New American Paintings (#87 & #91).

Bakehouse Art Complex In Miami Offers Low Cost Figure Drawing (Non-Instructional)
Bakehouse Art Complex, a resource for artists and, apparently, those who wish to be artists, are offering figure drawing on the first and third Sunday of the month.
March 6 and 20 are the dates this month. We trust you will be able to figure out the dates for subsequent months. Seating is first come first serve, you have to bring your own materials and there is no instruction (which explains the "cheap part" of this we suspect).
If you need practice this may be for you.


By exploring the offers, I am forced to admit that Trail Tech Voyager Pro doesn't have real competitors in the off-road GPS market today.
Maybe it's too convincing, but it's my personal opinion that someone might disagree with. In this Trail Tech Voyager Pro review, I will try to justify my assumption.
For what Trail Tech Voyager is, you can read here or go to the company's homepage at once.
What does this device offer other than similar devices?
In fact, here's almost everything needed for comfortable and safe driving outside the highlighted roads on conventional GPS road maps.
For the most part, this device is used to drive on previously marked trails or to create such off-road routes and trails.
So, what is needed for comfortable and safe driving with any kind of off-highway vehicle in terms of navigation and how much does the Trail Tech Voyager Pro match?
How do we get from point A to point B?
So, we want to go around the terrain where the normal turn by turn navigation does not work, simply there are no roads or streets. How do we get from point A to point B? If the area is more or less known, we can make our way and drive in memory by looking at trees, rocks or other known orientations. In most cases, we will reach the destination sooner or later.
Since almost everyone has a smartphone with GPS and Google maps, in theory, we will know the location even if we have to get lost.
Here I would like to repeat and warn that blindly trusting only to the phone navigation is a completely unacceptable act. It is very likely that in extreme circumstances use GPS applications will be uncomfortable and even impossible, especially if your ATV or snowmobile is not specifically equipped to operate the $1K worth iPhone safely.
I'm sure most off-road drivers have found out about it in practice. The phone can always be a backup tool, though, because the App Store and Google Play stores are full of many good apps and not so good ones.
Remember that you are not driving a comfortable car where you are warm and always have 12V to charge your GPS device and phone.
If we want to enjoy and move safely off-road, we clearly need a trail or a path to follow.
The Trail Tech Voyager Pro is meant for it.
Here you can load already ready ATV trails, or you can create them for yourself and share with friends.
It is the main function that this apparatus is different from the conventional GPS device and is also performed by the old Trail Tech Voyager device.
Is twice the price worth buying a Pro version? In two words I would say yes.
Trail Tech Voyager Pro GPS has many additions and improvements that directly affect more comfortable and enjoyable off-road driving.
Since it has been about half a year since the device has appeared on the market, there is also relatively many real users' feedback available.
So, we can assess both the pros and cons.
Before we dive in pros & cons the short product description taken from Amazon.
"Trail Tech Voyager Pro, the Connected Rider's GPS.
The map screen is enabled with base maps, topography lines, hill shading, and trails. Record or load GPX trails and riding areas, and transfer to a PC using the MicroSD card. Voyager Pro comes loaded with North American maps, but other map regions can be downloaded for free.
Sounds great, right? Are these functions all so needed? I think there may be situations where any of the features listed can be used.
I won't go into every one of the listed benefits of Trail tech Voyager Pro GPS but stop at what real users say.
I'm going to start with the most important thing in my opinion, about GPS trails. How to get ready trails and how to create them by yourself?
I don't have much to add about already-ready GPS trails, they are available in many places. Trail Tech homepage offers a relatively wide range with ready-to-wear GPS trails for about $20 per micro SD card.
You can also get them from other drivers or the local off-roader Society for free.
If you want to create trails yourself, one way is to record their device memory while driving, or even when you're sitting at your computer at home.
One of the shortcomings users are concerned about is that the format of trails is possible only as GPX file.
The easiest way to create the GPX trails is visiting Rideleader's home page. It is straightforward to create and very convenient to download a trail on the SD card on the Mac and Windows PC and then to your Trail Tech Voyager or any other GPS navigator that supports GPX files.
For those who worry that you can't use Google Map or Google Earth to create trails for Trail Tech Voyager use, it can be done relativity simply by converting Google Map link to GPX file.
In my opinion, this is simply done without any specific knowledge. So how and where to get GPS trails is clear.
Regarding cartography, it should be added that many of the old Trail Tech Voyager GPS users were not quite satisfied with the fact that there was no base map. The new Pro version has a great base map not only with U.S. coverage but it is possible to load many other countries for free, including some parts of Europe.
Base maps are excellent, and it has a Perspective GPS view feature which is missing for many other GPS units.
I forgot about the lack of the possibility of renaming the names of the trails and changing the colors. I think this might sometimes cause some confusion, but the manufacturer seems to be working on it.
It would be a bit of trails and maps, but what else would be new and noteworthy for the Pro version?
Buddy Tracking, what it is?
As mentioned in the description, it is an opportunity to communicate with one another between drivers who are also equipped with Trail Tech Voyager Pro GPS devices.
At first sight, it might seem to be nothing worthy of attention, but I don't think so.
It is an FM radio communication, like a VHF walkie-talkie. You can contact up to twenty members of the group and even see them on the screen of your device. The range is about a 5-mile radius, which though depends on the environment and can fluctuate, hills, valleys, forests, etc.
Maybe you'll say you'd better use cellphone?
This is even practically possible because the device is equipped with Bluetooth and can be simply connected with one of the appropriate intercom devices in your helmet. On the screen, though, you won't be able to see your companion, and you won't be able to communicate with the other twenty company members at the same time. And how about areas where there is no GSM coverage?
Definitely, a good feature if others have Voyager Pro units as well.
As I have said, this device is equipped with Bluetooth so that you can listen to your favorite music and communicate through the intercom with the passenger, as Trail Tech Voyager Pro GPS Bluetooth has a feature to connect with two users at the same time.
Although I'm not going to listen to music when riding on the bumpy mountain tracks but, especially for the younger generation, it could be the relatively enticing advantage.
Finally, the ability to connect Pro to the engine measuring devices by using standard Voyager sensors.
Which makes it possible to see on-screen both the speed, ambient and engine temperature of the engine and the surrounding environment, as well as RPM, battery voltage and distance traveled.
If you have any of the Trail Tech devices, then sensors fit for the new Pro version device either. I guess that for some riders it is an important indicator to consider when you are about to buy a Pro version.
The display is glove friendly and the visibility is great in any condition. Some talk about missing button control, but most real users say that operating with new color touchscreen TFT display is just perfect.
The docking solution of the device is very important.
There are different thoughts on this issue. Some users say that, e.g., Garmin Montana 650 has a better holder, but the Trail Tech Voyager Pro device may fall out while driving in extreme conditions while others say that a holder is excellent and the unit fits in it good.
Durability withstands the harshest elements and device is rated for IP67 for anti-dust/water intrusion.
Battery capacity is also frustrating for some, about 40 minutes, depending on what is used so do not go for the ride on the vehicle without battery. Apart from cycling though, I don't even know who doesn't have a battery.
Trail Tech Voyager Pro GPS withstands low ambient temperatures, but how low, that's what I can't say.
For snowmobile users, however, I would suggest thinking about some kind of heating option. You can read a little about it here. I have experience in the use of different electronic devices in the cold and do not know any which correctly operates at low temperatures without additional warming.
That is briefly what I wanted to say about this device. In my opinion, the best on the market for off-road GPS for today.
Although the price of Trail Tech Voyager Pro GPS is relatively high, using it will offer additional opportunities and satisfaction.

Trail Tech Voyager Pro sounds like a really new device to me. I have not heard about this device until I read this article today. After reading your experience with this device it looks like this is an really useful and safety worthy device that anyone can depend on.
Thank you so much for sharing so much information about his wonderful device with us.
Thanks for the comment. The new Trail Tech Voyager Pro is really a great GPS navigator if you think to go off-the-road.
I was searching through your site for a GPS system that I could use in off-road mountain biking, but after reading your review on the Trail Tech Voyager, I see that it's probably not the best choice for bikes…would I be right in saying so?
I'm wondering about the device's dimensions and it's durability 'outdoors' and not inside a vehicle. What GPS would you recommend for mountain biking and have you covered one on this site maybe?
Glad to see you, Chris, again.
You're right Trail Tech Voyager Pro won't fit for the mountain bike. The main problem here isn't Pro dimension, but the fact that the battery holds for about one hour and usually bike doesn't have an additional battery.
For a mountain bike, I would recommend a Garmin Edge 250. There is also this one from Magellan 505 GPS. Thanks for the idea of new research on GPS for mountain bikes.
Hey there! How are you? I've really enjoyed reading this article on "Trail Tech Voyager Pro" as it's informative. I bought a Trail Tech Voyager Pro GPS a couple of weeks back and I must say that it's definitely worth every single penny as its affordable and provides you with tonnes of features. The mean thing I look for when I busy something like this is cost and fearures. An other plus point is that it's very easy to operate.
Hello. I have the real pleasure of reading feedback from the real users of Trail Tech Voyager Pro. Again, you confirmed my assessment of this great off-road device.
Interesting post dear.To be frank it is my first time to hear about this Trail Tech Voyager Pro the Best GPS for OFF-Road Trails.I was passing through this post and I fond how useful is this device.
I can recommend this device to truck drivers who drive long ways because they could not be bored as this device has the bluetooth they can download their favorite music and enjoy the drive.
Hello Julienne. Thanks for the comment. I think there would be more useful for truck drivers look for specially designed devices. You can read here.
Some time back I was hearing about the news that Trail Tech Voyager Pro will be launched anytime but I lost track due to other preoccupations and was not aware that it has already been launched. Thank you for making us aware. Also your review article is very detailed and I must congratulate you for a work well done. I fully agree with you that one must not put all his dependency on google maps app available on his phone as you never now when it will ditch you. I personally have suffered more than a couple of times. At the best the google maps can be used as a fall back option and not the primary one.
Thanks for the comment. I have to admit that the new Trail Tech Voyager Pro GPS is quickly gaining popularity. As confirmation of this, I can say that it has already been purchased by three people through my post, although it was only published a week back.
I want to see Trail Tech Voyager Pro in the near future. I do use my smart phone for GPS but I do believe a gadget separately and intended made for this purpose can be advantageous over other gadgets such as smartphones.
Maybe the price will go down after sometime the gadget will permeate every place so it will be affordable to the majority consumers.
Hi Abagatan. Using a smartphone in the car as a GPS navigator is sometimes dangerous from a safety point of view. Many talks that they are just listening to the turn by turn directions, but sooner or later, the eyes are thrown not only on the route on display but on messages or Facebook notifications as well, and then it distracts attention from the road. When we talk about price, it is a very relative indicator. If you can afford snowmobile for $10K, then $600 for a great assistant for both convenience and safety doesn't have much.
Hi! Thank you very much for endorsing this device. Your recommendations have always been very useful to me!
I sure agree with you, traveling through areas that are not covered in the cartography loaded onto our GPS device can really cause us a lot of stress. Having ATV trails available can make any trip off-road a pleasant experience, removing the anxiety of getting lost.
Buddy tracking is also a super cool feature! I have gone on expeditions where we're going in a group of 3 – 4 cars and we're riding off-road trails. Being able to be in touch with all the cars at the same time and viewing their position on our device, would be very much appreciated!
You are absolutely right, Henry. It's just that you can have visual control over other drivers and not negotiate with them is a big advantage of this device.
Great information and the video in particular is well-done and packed with great information about the product.
Do you think someone will come in a challenge Trail Tech in the future or would it be pretty safe to purchase one now and not worry about it being badly outdone in the near future?
Thanks, Mike for the comment. I think the market for off-road GPS devices is relatively unoccupied and that other brands will continue to develop them as well. Trail Tech Voyager Pro is a great device and the pleasing news is that the price has just been lowered somewhat. Maybe it's about Christmas, but it's a pleasure anyway.
Hello Maria. You're right, Trail Tech Voyager Pro price is falling. I hope it's not just a Christmas discount.
Trail tech voyage pro sounds like a great device. For any hunting enthusiasts, snowmobiling or recreationalist. It sounds like it has really made some advances just for the time it's been on the market.
It would have definitely came in handy back when I did some off road driving back in Colorado.
I really appreciate the video, you did a great job with that. Thank you for the post, I really like it.
Thank you for this great and unbiased review of The trail tech voyage pro, I find it really informative and mind blowing. Am so gutted that this device doesn't isn't fit for mountain biking,well I will recommend this to all truck drivers out there because this is the best off road device I have ever read about.
Thanks for stopping by. You are right Trail tech Voyager Pro not the best choice for mountain bike mainly because of lack of power supply as a device's battery is not for the long run. For engine driven off-road vehicles, this is a great choice.
Although the price is high as you said but Trail Tech Voyager Pro GPS has one feature I love most the fact that it has the standard Voyager sensors which can measure the speed, battery voltage and distance travelled.
I would advice anyone going off road should go with and I won't advice mobile GPS on Off road.
Thanks a lot for this post. Trail Tech Voyager Pro has all the features I need.
Thanks for taking time for the comment.
It is true that relying solely on the smartphone navigation of the while driving with a snowmobile is not wise in unfamiliar terrain. In the cold, the phone's battery discharged very quickly and you risk staying without a landmark. It is not safe.
There was a lot I apparently did not know about GPS even having made use of some of them. I can say that I have become more enlightened by reading this post. For starter, I never knew that a GPS trail could actually be created by an individual. I always thought it was done by the company in which the GPS was purchased from. Is this method of GPS trail actually safe because some individuals might create the wrong trail?.
The GPS Trail Tech Voyager Pro sure is amazing. It does seem to have some amazing features that other GPS tracking devices don't have and one of my favorites is the buddy tracking. It is truly amazing.
Thanks for stopping by. You are right that GPS trail for ATV or any other off-road vehicle maid on the computer can be created incorrectly. From the very beginning, I recommend starting with short-range tracks and be sure that your fuel tank is filled up to return your starting point if you're lost.
