How Can You Lower Interest Rate on Student Loans?
Before applying for student loans, most people do not have the right information they need to make the right choice. Most of the students are under pressure to finance their schooling and they therefore just rush to apply for private student loans. This has been on the rise due to increasing college fees charged by academic institutions. Student loans, whether from the federal government or from the private student loans, are meant to help students complete their education. Most students are able to acquire student loans and fully settle their college financial demands. It is very important for students to fully understand the type of loans available at their disposal and the terms and conditions governing interest rates on those loans. Most students are eligible to apply for federal loans or private student loans, and they should choose the low cost loans which they will be able to repay without much struggle.
Get adequate information on lenders – don't be surprised that some people just go and pick lenders to get loans from without getting to understand how the lender operates. It is important to read guides on lenders. Get brochures, newspaper articles, and journals to help you get to know lenders in the market and monitor how they charge their interest rates. With this information, you'll definitely make the right choice on whom to get your student loan from.
Choose the type of interest rates you want – there are different interest rates available to the clients. Private student loans offer variable interest rates. This means that your interest will vary depending on the normal trend of the interest rates. It depends on the economic situation of the state. It is an easy way to use when your loan is for a short time. For long-term loans, this may lead to very high-interest rates towards the end of the repayment period. Fixed interest rates are always offered by federal loans, and they usually remain constant throughout the repayment period.
Get a good credit score – for private student loans; the credit score affects the interest rate charged on the loans you apply. Most students do not have credit records, and due to this, they need a good consigner with a perfect credit score for them to get lower interest rates on their student loans.
How can I reduce my student loans interest? When your interest rates are low, the monthly repayments reduce; hence, your overall income is not heavily affected by the loan repayment program. There are a couple of ideas that can help you in reducing interest on student loans such as refinancing. After applying for refinancing, the new lender pays for part or whole of the current loan burden while offering a lower interest rate and affordable repayment plans. How to lower interest rates on student loans is easy when using refinance as you only need the following to qualify for refinancing a good credit score of at least 600s. and good cash to finance your daily needs and have an adequate amount to pay for the loan.When you are ready for refinancing, read all information available about refinance and examine the details of the existing loan while estimating for the possible new interest rate after you have been refinanced. Also, you can subscribe for auto-payments. This is where you talk to your lender so that your lender automatically deducts the loan repayment directly from your bank account. This scheme offers certainty to the repayment of the loan debt and lenders usually lower interest rates in such cases. It is also called Automatic Clearing House (ACH). Check from your lender if ACH service is available to seize the opportunity.
Get good information on lenders.
Federal loans have a lot of benefits to students even though not everyone is eligible to apply for them. Federal loans usually charge fixed interest rates on the loans they offer. They also give low rates student loans compared to private student loans. The interest rates of different federal loans range from 4.45% – 7%. This variety offers you how to get the affordable interest rate on student loans by choosing the best one for you. Depending on which institution you borrow from, the interest rates may vary slightly. For example, Stafford loans which are the most common federal loan offers loans at 4.45% for undergraduates and 6% for graduate students. Parkinsons offers an interest rate of 5% with no interest charged while the student is attending college. Parents and students can also apply for PLUS loans which charge an interest rate of 7% which is the highest interest rate among federal loans. This gives you a variety of options on how to get a lower interest rate on student loans. The federal loans have a repayment period of 10years with very flexible repayment programs. Undergraduates can apply for loans of up to $57,500 while graduates can apply up to $138,500.
However, to make a correct decision and not to get trapped, every person needs to find out as much information as it would be possible to. Thus, you can secure yourself and avoid being burdened with an unmanageable loan. So, analyze thoroughly and make your decision wisely.


This year's seminar will take place on Sunday, May 1, 2016 at 12pm.
We normally host our seminar for those who will be joining us in the summer (or anyone interested in finding out more about our summer camp mission trips) on the Friday before our church's annual youth conference. However, this year we decided to move it to Sunday. Lunch will be served following the morning service and we'll proceed with the seminar afterwards. We'll be discussing camp etiquette and rules, learning new songs, games and crafts, as well as familiarizing ourselves with this year's program.
It's a great opportunity to see what Hand in Hand is all about, as well as to get to know other like-minded individuals. We hope to see you there!


What's the best way to launch twenty-six new buses, all with free onboard wi-fi and comfy leather seats?
The answer lies in a product that is simple, stylish and consistent.
The answer lies in a name and identity that reflects the naval heritage of the city the bus will serve.
The answer lies in a campaign consisting of 48 sheets, 6 sheets, direct mail, a door drop, street furniture, promotional material, 3 roadshows, internal coves, ATM screens among a whole host of other stuff. And there were some brand guidelines to help things along the way.
The STAR is now well and truly shining bright in Portsmouth thanks to that little lot.

Who are the elephants living in the hybridization zone? How genetics may guide conservation to better protect endangered elephants
By Julie Bonnald, Jose Utge, Mary K. Kuhner, Samuel K. Wasser, Edward Asalu, John Paul Okimat, Sabrina Krief - Science Direct Highlights • 91 individuals were sampled in the Ugandan elephant hybridization zone. • No forest elephants were detected in the sampled forested area. • 81% of the sampled elephants were hybrids. • Hybrids are fertile with 98.6% of hybrids belonging to second generation or more. • Pure savannah elephants seem to originate from the DRC-Uganda border. Abstract After a long-standing debate, African elephants are now considered by the IUCN as two distinct species:...
Fossil elephant cranium reveals key adaptations that enabled its species to spread across Africa
By University of Michegan A remarkably well-preserved fossil elephant cranium from Kenya is helping scientists understand how its species became the dominant elephant in eastern Africa several million years ago, a time when a cooler, drier climate allowed grasslands to spread and when habitually bipedal human ancestors first appeared on the landscape. Dated to 4.5 million years ago and recovered from a site on the northeast side of Lake Turkana, it is the only well-preserved elephant cranium—the portion of the skull that encloses the brain—from that time. It is about 85% intact and holds a...
More elephants are at risk of conflict with humans than previously thought
By Colorado State Univesity Human-elephant conflict is on the rise across Africa and is a major threat to wildlife conservation. Crops provide a highly nutritious food source, but elephants pursuing that source results in the destruction of farmer livelihoods, erodes human tolerance toward wildlife and manifests in retaliatory violence on crop-raiding elephants. Crop conflict was assumed to be mostly carried out by a select few elephants, but managers have lacked the means to assess this at a detailed level. New research, however, offers a first look at long-term trends in crop-raiding...

Haunting of Hill House Season 2: Creator Says it Will Be 'Scarier Than Season One'
This house is even scarier than the first one.
byJesse Schedeen
Posted Aug. 13, 2019, 7:43 p.m.
If you found Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House to be a terrifying experience, brace yourself for the second season. Creator Mike Flanagan promises The Haunting of Bly Manor will be "much scarier than season one."
Flanagan spoke to Birth.Movies.Death about what's coming in the new season. While Netflix previously announced The Haunting of Bly Manor is based on Henry James' 1898 novella The Turn of the Screw, Flanagan revealed that the series is drawing from more than one of James' stories. He referred to The Turn of the Screw as "a jumping-off point" for Season 2's narrative.
"It's a cool way to expand on some of the things I loved about season one, but within the framework of a new story, without having to be restrained by the decisions we made last time," Flanagan said. "For Henry James fans, it's going to be pretty wild, and for people who aren't familiar with his work, it's going to be unbelievably scary. I already think it's much scarier than season one, so I'm very excited about it."
As the second chapter of Netflix's The Haunting of... anthology series, The Haunting of Bly Manor will tell its own, self-contained story inspired James' horror work. The series will feature several actors from Season 1 cast in new roles, including Oliver Jackson-Cohen as a Bly Manor resident named Peter and Victoria Pedretti as a governess named Dani. The new season is expected to arrive in 2020.
In our review of the The Haunting of Hill House, we said that it "works as both a great horror story and a compelling family drama, effectively exploring how the ghosts of our pasts are just as scary as what goes bump in the night."
For more on The Haunting of Hill House, check out actual ghost hunters saying that the series was accurate on many occasions, a final detail you may have missed in Season 1's ending, and why The Haunting of Hill House is IGN's 2018 TV Show of the Year.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) —
Dee Martin may wake up on Jan. 1 and find herself in a whole different state.
South Carolina and North Carolina have redrawn the border between the two states with GPS technology that allows them to confirm the boundary lines established more than 200 years ago down to the centimeter. But that means the lines drawn decades ago through less exact surveying measures are several hundred feet off.
So Martin and 15 other South Carolina families are now in North Carolina. Three families will end up changing to South Carolina addresses.
Martin says it will cost her more money from her fixed income in higher North Carolina taxes.
Lawmakers in both states are considering measures to allow families to keep children in the same schools and to keep their current utilities.


The importance of capturing and storing digital evidence has never been greater, with more and more law enforcement agencies looking to increase transparency as they work to protect the public.
We worked alongside law enforcement agencies to develop the first product to combine a body-worn camera, radio speaker and microphone and paired it with a cloud-based content management system. The product helps capture evidence in the moments that matter without burdening officers with additional devices. Its cloud based application also allows law enforcement to securely store, share and manage digital evidence, reducing administrative time and costs while increasing transparency.
It's one of many ways we're working to build the smarter and safer cities of tomorrow.
From batteries to systems and software, Motorola Solutions is also committed to reducing the direct environmental impact of our products. Whether that's designing products with more environmentally friendly materials, reducing the amount of packaging we use to ship, offering recycling and battery take-back programs or using solar energy to power up products, we also help our customers reduce the footprint of their own operations.
Sometimes those efforts even help keep the public safer, such as in Somalia.
Following years of insecurity, Somalia is slowly increasing safety and stability within its borders. Located in the horn of Africa, Somalia has faced economic decline and high numbers of refugees and internally displaced people.
When Motorola Solutions was contacted in 2015 to develop a radio solution for the police force in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, we were inspired by the challenge to meet the police force's needs despite a difficult operating environment.
In partnership with UNSOM and the Japanese Trust Fund, our engineers designed a voice and data radio system powered by solar energy, giving it freedom from the unreliable local electric grid and providing secure and dependable police communications across the capital.
The Motorola Solutions system provides local police with GPS-enabled call buttons that enable officers to signal for immediate backup assistance to their exact locations. Throughout Mogadishu, fast and reliable radio communications are empowering a more responsive police force, keeping officers and the local community safer.
"The radio system provides our officers with the lifeline of instant communications that they need to complete their missions, respond quickly to incidents and better protect the public," said the chief of Somalia's police force.

Dr. Thor Templar - Robert Blanchard PhD.
This is not the common runic course you will find online, it is Atlantean Runic Sorcery based on the most effective Runic Magic ever offered. It is not a system of Divination, it is about generating power directly from Atlantean Thule and Odin himself. It is the ultimate hybrid using the unique Thule 18 Runes, Modern Ritual Magick, and Interdimensional Rune Realms only accessed in this unique Thule System. This is not the old fashioned Armanen or outdated Von List systems, It far surpasses these primitive systems with new techniques to access the inner most power of the runes. The Runes are a complicated system with vast inner realms of power, few understand and even fewer are able to directly connect to Atlantean consciousness and the Atlantean Norse Gods and Goddesses. Connecting to all these realms of power takes special training only this course offers. This course has been proven with 25 years of use by over a thousand users. This system is the only magical system that can be used anytime, anywhere, by using "words of power" and "covert hand positions".
Runes are not for everyone, it requires a superior level occult scientist that is willing to deal with one of the most potent forces in the universe. Runes are so powerful, they often warp the consciousness into evil realms. This system is about PURE ATLANTEAN energy, not the lower German systems. These lower systems produced nothing but destruction of the users. That is why these are often offered online for free. Worthless systems that lead you into the abyss of evil. This is a perversion of the awesome streams of Atlantean Thule Empowerment energies. This system takes you deep into the inner realms of the runes where the ultimate power lies. Most courses are nothing but a rehash of the same old practices, not serious sorcery like this course offers. Runic energies come from the realms of creation and are connected to the Thule - Atlantean streams of consciousness, not just pagan god forms. The Runes can easily deal with common daily problems of protection, wealth, love etc. They can also be used for anything else of your choosing, there is no limit to the uses of the runes.
If you are an Elite Occult Scientist seeking realms of power beyond the common junk offered by other systems, this is the sorcery course for you. It requires only a few basic supplies. Most rituals are done through a system of words of power and body and hand energy forms, to draw in and then project awesome energies, it is a kind of Atlantean Chi Kung, when used properly. This is simply the finest Runic Sorcery system ever offered. Now, in Three professionally formatted and edited full color over sized editions!

It is not surprising that a cultural that would use a simple script like Runes would also not expand this type of simple glyph into direct meaning for actions, thoughts, things, emotions, Gods and everything of daily life. This pictographic language is a rare example of a western pictographic language in use around the time of 1400's. An interesting insight into a British culture that is developing totally different from others in the region.
The pictographs cover all areas of life and even include a divination method. This is certainly a rare text that would interest anyone studying languages and those seeking an alternative to standard language for magical writing, sigil making and interested in history.
This is NOT a Mysterious Book or empowered in any manner. It is simple a guide book to magical writing and systems of Great Britain. It's magical use is unknown and not defined in this book. However those looking closer maybe surprised what they find. This is the only book ever published detailing this rare system of writing from 1474 and probably hundreds of years earlier.

England's biggest bachelor, Prince Harry, is continuing his tour of the islands during the Queen's Diamond Jubilee representing Queen Elizabeth's 60 years on the throne.
During his most recent visit to a children's hospital in Jamaica, the handsome prince spent time with kids and posed for pictures.
VIDEO: SEE PRINCE WILLIAM & PRINCE HARRY IN VINTAGE ROYAL FAMILY VIDEO!
According to Celebuzz, Prince Harry also hung out with Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt. They met up at the University of the West Indies track for a meet and greet and of course, a sprint session! Prince Henry was decked out in PUMA and struck a lightning bolt pose with Usain.
It sounds like Prince Harry has a whirlwind agenda! In addition to Jamaica, he's going to visit Belize, Brazil and the Bahamas.

A: I assume here that you know how to write a web service.
You should use the adomd.net to fetch your cube data.
Refer: ADOMD.NET Client Programming
Example: Displaying a grid using ADOMD.NET and MDX
Code:
AdomdConnection conn = new AdomdConnection(strConn);
conn.Open();
AdomdCommand cmd = new AdomdCommand(MDX_QUERY, conn);

Q: AnyMaps legend items don't use the correct icon colors I use the AnyChart/AnyMap system to render custom maps for my site, currently version 6.0.11. We're displaying a map of the USA split up into regions, and each region is assigned a color according to a palette. All of that works great, however, we also have a legend at the bottom of the chart that's supposed to use the same colors as the Series data. For some reason the <item> elements seem to ignore any colors I assign manually, nor do they respect the <icon color="%Color"...> tag. The following is a snippet of the XML relevant to the legend in particular, based on the API specified at http://anychart.com/products/anychart/docs/xmlReference/index.html:
<anychart>
    <charts>
        <chart name="United States" plot_type="Map" template="state_template">
        <data_plot_settings>
            <map_series id_column="REGION_NAME" source="usa/country/states.amap">
            ...
            <chart_settings>
                <legend align="Center" align_by="DataPlot" enabled="True" ignore_auto_item="True" inside_dataplot="False" padding="5" position="Bottom">
                    <rows_padding><![CDATA[1]]></rows_padding>
                <format><![CDATA[{%Icon} {%Name} - 420{numDecimals:0,trailingZeros:0,decimalSeparator:,thousandsSeparator:}]]></format>
                <title enabled="False" />
                <icon color="%Color" series_type="Marker" type="SeriesIcon" />
                <items>
                    <item series="New England" source="Series">
                        <icon color="#E5E5E5" />
                    </item>
                    <item series="Middle Atlantic" source="Series">
                        <icon color="#E2D4D4" />
                    </item>
                    <item series="West South Central" source="Series">
                        <icon color="#DEE2D4" />
                    </item>
                    <item series="Mountain" source="Series">
                        <icon color="#DED4E2" />
                    </item>
                    <item series="Pacific" source="Series">
                        <icon color="#E2DBD4" />
                    </item>
                    <item series="East North Central" source="Series">
                        <icon color="#F4E0C3" />
                    </item>
                    <item series="West North Central" source="Series">
                        <icon color="#F2F1CE" />
                    </item>
                    <item series="South Atlantic" source="Series">
                        <icon color="#D4DCE2" />
                    </item>
                    <item series="East South Central" source="Series">
                        <icon color="#C6E5E1" />
                    </item>
                </items>
            </legend>
            </chart_settings>
        </chart>
    </charts>
</anychart>

It seems like it doesn't matter what color I put in the icons, or what format (it's supposed to accept strings like "red" and formats like RGB(255, 0 ,0), and #FF0000), it always renders the same set of colors. I can omit the section entirely and it still doesn't work. On a related note, if I change the ignore_auto_item parameter to False, or remove it entirely, the entire application blows up.
This is sort of a last resort as the AnyCharts fools aren't responding to tech support requests, and their sales guy redirected me to a friend of his who wants to charge me $150/hr. They're claiming it's something in my XML that's broken, but based on their API docs, my XML is perfectly fine. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
I should note that I'm using the AnyChartsFlex SWC that comes with their system, run through a custom Flex app. All this app does is provide a wrapper with additional functionality that users of my site require, and doesn't mess with the actual chart itself in any meaningful way (just adds a couple event listeners), nor does it touch the XML before it gets to their library to be rendered, and works perfectly.

A: I've confirmed this is a bug in the AnyMaps software package. An interim solution is to add the exact color you want to each series item in the data, ie:
<series name="New England" palette="divisionColorPaletteNE" type="MapRegions" color="#E5E5E5">

When I do this, the legend finally uses the correct colors. So, while this fixed my immediate problem, setting the icon color for a specific legend item simply doesn't work, nor does setting the global color for all icons in the legend using the %Color keyword. The legend items don't respect colors coming from Palettes.
I hope anyone else dealing with this issue gets use from my misery figuring it out.

46 LISTSLove on Screen
What do we talk about when we talk about love? Perfect, sickeningly sweet, often unhealthy couples in film, TV, and other media who set up impossible standards to which our real-world flesh & blood relationships will never live up. Let's dissect 'em.
TV Love Interests Who Could Do Better
Ann Casano
Updated June 18, 2019 3.7k votes 515 voters 9.8k views17 items
List RulesVote up the TV characters who deserved more.
As in real life, TV romance is hardly perfect. But some small-screen relationships seem especially mismatched, and TV characters who deserve better partners remain fodder for endless debate. The best television characters are flawed, just like real people, which makes them both believable and lovable. So, naturally, their relationships tend to be imperfect, too.
But some of these TV characters' respective partners are just plain jerks - or unfaithful, or unworthy in some way, or someone's high school teacher (Ezra, you know who you are). Whatever the reason, the fan favorites on this list could certainly do better.
Beloved TV shows from the past and present feature love interests with terrible partners. Which mismatched TV couple riles you the most?
Aidan Shaw In 'Sex And The City'
Photo: HBO
Aidan (John Corbett) is a sweet, hardworking, blue-collar dude. Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) is a self-obsessed city girl who gets involved with Aidan even though she's still in love with Mr. Big (Chris Noth). She then proceeds to cheat on Aidan on several occasions. The pair breaks up, but Carrie decides she's over Big and ready to settle down with Aidan.
Their brief reunion is just another selfish act from Carrie, though, who should know she's just not into Aidan for the long run.
Could they do better?
Jaime Lannister In 'Game Of Thrones'
Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Cersei (Lena Headey) are brother and sister, which should be enough for them to decouple for good. It's true that Jaime is no saint - he permanently injured Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead Wright), among other horrible acts of violence. But he has grown as a person, perhaps more than any other character on HBO's Game of Thrones. And he's clearly headed away from the Lannister darkness.
Meanwhile, Cersei remains ice-cold and evil, with no personal goal other than to sit on the Iron Throne.

Jackie Burkhart In 'That '70s Show'
Photo: Fox
Somehow, Jackie (Mila Kunis) winds up mismatched with Fez (Wilmer Valderrama) at the end of That '70s Show. This pairing occurs after multiple seasons of watching Jackie's on-again, off-again relationship with Kelso (Ashton Kutcher).
It's a wonder that the writers couldn't get those two perfectly matched lovebirds to live happily ever after. The sitcom might have gotten it wrong, but at least Kunis and Kutcher wound up together in real life.
Marge Simpson In 'The Simpsons'
Marge Simpson is almost the perfect wife and mother. She puts a lot of time and effort into raising her three kids and endures an endless barrage of nonsense from her husband, Homer. Yes, Homer is sweet and his heart is always in the right place, but he's still an alcoholic buffoon who makes really bad decisions (see every episode ever).
Plus, Homer would rather spend his free time hanging out at Moe's Bar than with his wife and kids.

Sustainable Ideas From a Net-Zero Home
ByGemma Alexander
Jul 12, 2018 Energy, green building, home, net-zero-home, Sustainable
The boldly modern Genesee Park net-zero home stands out from its mid-century neighbors, but its most impressive features are not immediately obvious. The first Built Green net-zero house in the Seattle area, this 3,700 square foot, 4-bedroom home produces as much energy as it uses. Whether you are building your dream home or just trying to make the one you already have better, you can borrow some ideas from this ultra-sustainable home.
Solar Water
Heating water accounts for almost one-fifth of the average household's energy costs. Many people remember the old solar water heating systems that gave scalding water on sunny days and cold showers on cool days. The Genesee Park net-zero house uses a newer system by Silk Road Environmental. It uses a nontoxic thermal gel that stores the sun's warmth, instead of heating water directly, to maintain a consistent hot water temperature.
Seattle may be cloudy and high latitude, but solar panels can operate with greater efficiency in cooler climates. With a rooftop covered in solar panels, the Genesee Park house will produce between 9,000 and 10,000-kilowatt hours a year. That's enough to power an energy-efficient house like this one.
Solar power systems are highly individualized to the circumstances; it can take between six and fifteen years to recoup the cost of a solar energy system. However, the federal solar tax credit allows you to deduct 30 percent of the installation cost from your federal taxes.
Efficient energy use is equally important to reach net zero as energy generation. The Genesse Park house used triple glazed windows for maximum efficiency. For many people, the added efficiency may not outweigh the cost premium. But if your single- or double-pane windows are old, new Energy Star rated windows could save up to $465 dollars per year.
Water Saving Appliances
Any homeowner can use common but effective features like water-saving fixtures and low-flow toilets. Many municipalities and utilities offer rebates for purchases of WaterSense labeled toilets, showerheads, and faucets. Even renters can save water by adding aerators to their faucets and can reduce the water in their toilet tank with a water-filled plastic jug.
Bigger Is Not Better
Most houses have one green advantage over the Genesee Park net-zero house: a smaller footprint — literally. The size of the average American home has more than doubled, but most of us still occupy fewer than the 1,850 square feet per person that the owners the Genesee Park net-zero house use.
Smaller houses are inherently greener, using fewer materials both in construction and maintenance, and generating less storm water runoff. No matter how efficient a house is, the same level of efficiency over a smaller area will be greener. By starting with less space to begin with, it's easier to have a sustainable home.

Helmut Dudek (14 December 1957 – 22 May 1994) was a Polish-German football defender who won the 1978–79 UEFA Cup with Borussia Mönchengladbach. He also played eight seasons in the Major Indoor Soccer League.

In 1978, Dudek, native of Poland who later became a West German citizen, signed with Borussia Mönchengladbach and was a member of the team as it won the 1978–79 UEFA Cup. He played a total of six games for Borussia before moving to the United States in 1980. That summer, he signed with the Wichita Wings of the Major Indoor Soccer League. The next year, he joined the Memphis Americans and played three seasons with the team in Memphis and another after the team moved west to Las Vegas, Nevada where they became the Las Vegas Americans. In 1982, he was a First Team All Star. The Americans folded at the end of the 1984–85 season and the Pittsburgh Spirit hired Don Popovic, the American head coach. Popovic brought Dudek, and several other players, to the Spirit as free agents. Dudek spent he 1985–86 season in Pittsburgh. The team folded at the end of the season and Dudek signed with the Minnesota Strikers on 18 September 1986. After one season, the Strikers sent Dudek to the Baltimore Blast for future considerations. He spent one season in Baltimore, then left the league to return to Germany. He died on 22 May 1994 of cancer.

The Queen Goes Digital
April 24, 2015 April 24, 2015 Pete Dubler Cruising News, Electronics, Gear
How we assissted, purchased and upgraded our electronics with the past, present and future in mind (published January 2015)
After three and a half years in a Colorado cornfield, the complete restoration and refit of our Pearson 424 ketch, Regina Oceani (Queen of the Ocean), was almost complete. Trucked 2,000 miles to Titusville, Florida for launching, she rested just five minutes from our rented house in Melbourne, Florida. And one of the final considerations we had was in how to bring her 20-year-old electronics into this decade.
4G radar adapted to old radar mount with two HDPE plates
When it comes to marine electronics, things change quickly and often. Every major boat show seems to highlight a new "must-have" innovation. As with TVs and laptop computers, there appears to never be a "right time" to take the leap and commit to new electronics—as soon as the new gear is installed, something "better" comes on the market.
With the must-have/right time/quality conundrum in mind, we had to set some criteria for selecting new electronics, "now." To do this, we started by assessing what was already on the boat that might stay, either as back-up gear or to be integrated in with the new system, and what should definitely go. Our goal was to have redundancy of systems while gaining modern sailing-savvy instrumentation, AIS reception and display, and radar overlay of charts.
ASSESSING THE OLD
The Queen had a full set of Raytheon/Raymarine instruments and autopilot spanning the ST50 through ST70 generations but no chartplotter. There were three NMEA-0183 speaking GPS systems on board: an ST50 GPS display, a first generation Magellan unit and a Furuno GP-32— only the Furuno unit is still in production.
In the cockpit, each of the instruments was specialized and independent with one black-and-white numeric or analog display each for depth, wind, speed, GPS and compass. Depth and speed were repeated at the nav station with a two-line "multi-display." Primary navigation was provided by a laptop computer at the nav station with control and display duplicated on an early generation, hard-to-read-in-full-daylight tablet computer at the binnacle (see "A Better Way" BWS December 2005).
Typical mid-ship NMEA-2000 micro-C tap
This interfaced with the ST7000 control head of the Autohelm 100 autopilot computer. A completely independent CPT autopilot could steer the boat via a toothed belt on the wheel. In the end, we kept the depth and multi displays, the Furuno GPS and the back-up autopilot as redundant systems—pretty much everything else, including the very old Raytheon radar went to the flea market. The Autohelm drive unit, which was properly sized for our boat, is a universal component and we retained that as the muscle end of the new autopilot system.
ASSESSING THE NEW
While exploring new chartplotter and instrument systems, the term "multi-function display" or "MFD" quickly entered our vocabulary. Everything can be displayed on the MFD including charts, radar, depth, wind, and even videos, saved PDF manuals and tide tables. There are plenty of quality integrated systems on the market, but in light of the sailing specific features, seemingly lacking from all other systems, the B&G systems stood out for us.
B&G has a reputation for providing the best sailing optimized instruments and they still produce a full line of racing instruments and computers. For our cruising boat, the Zeus Touch line of MFDs and the Triton line of color display heads provided all the features we would ever need at about the same cost as other similarly sized touch display systems.
Would you believe all these cables can fit into two 1 inch tubes
The unique features of the B&G system include SailSteer, which is an integrated single screen that is truly optimized for sailing. On one screen, compass, course, wind, current/tide, opposite tack, and name of and course to waypoint are all displayed. While tacking towards a waypoint, one can see the waypoint bearing move around the "heading-up" compass ring. When the waypoint bearing mark and the opposite tack mark align, you know your next tack will take you directly to the waypoint—real-time current is even considered in this automatic calculation. This really takes the guesswork out of knowing when to tack. Strangely, although true wind is displayed on this screen, apparent wind is not but is clearly displayed on the Triton displays. Given the choice, I would select apparent over true as the wind to display.
With regards to our primary autopilot, we explored having the Zeus touch MFD feed NMEA-0183 data to the old Raytheon system. While this would work, all of the benefits of a completely integrated system would be lost. B&G instruments can directly drive the highly respected line of Simrad autopilots. That is to say, any of the Triton or Zeus displays can serve as a control head for the Simrad autopilot computers—introducing another level of redundancy to our systems. In the end, taking the leap of replacing the old AP head and computer turned out to be a smart move as the new B&G system, which we call "Barry", is easier to use, steers more efficiently and consumes less power.
Another potential area for power saving was with the radar system. The B&G 4G radar system uses broadband transmission instead of microwaves. This has several advantages over traditional radar including very high up-close resolution—remember all collisions happen up close—, no dangerous microwave radiation, instant on versus long warm-up periods, and very low power consumption. It is amazing to watch paddle boarders go by on radar or to spot empty slips around a corner in a marina. The trade-off is some long range resolution that might be handy for tracking distant squalls, but we found that tracking storms around eight miles away was a cinch.

WIRELESS DISPLAYS & WHERE TO PUT THEM
By connecting the low-cost GoFree Wi-Fi adapter to the Zeus Touch MFD with a LAN cable, anything displayed on the MFD can also be displayed on an iPad, iPhone, Android or tablet after downloading a free app. The MFD can also be controlled by touch on these mobile devices. What's more, some of the touch features are even better on these devices than on the MFD itself—pinch zooming, for example, can only be done on the mobile devices. (Note: The Zeus+ Touch now has pinch zooming). With this level of control and mobility, tablets are perhaps more economical and versatile than adding an additional MFD.
The old displays, of course, left holes to fill but we really did not need as many displays as before since each color Triton display can convey so much information on a single screen. In the cockpit we opted to replace five dedicated instrument heads with two Triton displays. At the nav station we added a Triton display to provide all necessary—and all available—data with a single display.
The main display and center of navigation became the 12-inch Zeus Touch MFD mounted at the binnacle. This required a new approach; the binnacle guard was replaced with a taller offset one from Ocean Equipment that slipped right into the mounts on our Edson binnacle and holds their Navpod, which is precut to receive the Zeus Touch. After using an angle grinder to cut holes in the binnacle guards to match the holes in the Navpod, all six cables (NMEA-2000, two LAN cables, video/NMEA-0183, power and cable for our remote access VHF microphone) ran down inside the two one-inch diameter tubes, but not without some trial and error sorting of the size of cables, cable connectors and order of insertion of the varied cables.
Broadband radar cable is much thinner than normal radar cables and can be easily shortened with a standland ethernet connector tool
GETTING ON THE BUS
The prior owner of our boat went through several generations of electronics but never removed the old wires; he just cut the wires and installed the new wires with new wire ties over the old ones. An early project when we got the boat was removing all the old unused wires—two 50-gallon trash cans full!
Now, finally moving to NMEA-2000 bus-based architecture, we should be done replacing wires for our electronics. Planning any bus layout should be done carefully. Each end of the bus must have a terminator. The masthead instrument has an internal terminator so it should serve as one end of the bus. This was a little counterintuitive as the speed/depth sensor is further forward on the boat than the mast. The male-female flow of the cables and tee connectors needs to be continuous from one end to the other, which means you should start installing the bus at one end of the boat and move piece-by-piece to the other end.
We started at both ends and moved to the middle, finding that male connectors don't join to male connectors. But we only had to move a few cables to correct the error. Having the right collection of cables and connectors required some help from our B&G dealer. While the Simnet and Micro-C versions of NMEA-2000 play perfectly well together, where they mix such as at the Autopilot, a Simnet to Micro-C cable must be ordered. Don't be surprised if, as a result of some of the devices coming with cables and bus starter kits, you end up with several extra bus terminators and tees.
In addition to the NMEA-2000 bus, two Ethernet (LAN) cables carry higher bandwidth chart and radar data between the radar black box, the go-free wireless adapter and the Zeus Touch MFD. Since the Zeus Touch 12 provides three LAN ports, no LAN hub was needed. One cable from the Zeus Touch provides two video inputs and the NMEA-0183 in and out connections. AIS data flows via NMEA-0183 from our Standard Horizon Matrix AIS VHF radio to the MFD at 38,400 bits per second. In the other direction, the MFD provides GPS data to the radio at 4,800 bps.
While not as "plug-n-play" as NMEA-2000, it was simple enough to configure on the MFD and radio. Vessel ID, speed and direction display closest point of approach (CPA), and time to CPA. And even destination port and planned arrival time can be displayed on the MFD simply by touching the triangle symbol of a boat. This came in handy as we could call directly to close approaching freighters on our shakedown cruise, "Good morning captain, we show our boat having a tenth mile closest point of approach in seven minutes with you, will you be turning or slowing as you approach port?"
Instrument layout
GETTING THE TUNES
We have used our laptop computer as a jukebox on the boat with the touchscreen tablet in the cockpit able to select the songs and control the volume. We did not want to lose this essential luxury.
Navico (the parent company of B&G, Simrad and Lowrance) and Fusion Electronics provide a well-integrated solution that includes an AM/FM radio, optional Sirius radio if desired, and can connect to an iPod, iPhone, Android or even a USB flash stick in a waterproof "Uni-Dock." The Simrad (or Lowrance) SonicHub is a black box audio controller with two sets of stereo amplifiers and an output for a third amplifier. Each of these outputs represents a separately controllable "zone" within which the volume can be independently controlled, but the same music plays to all of the zones.
The Zeus Touch master volume control can be set to control one, two or all three zones. We used an old car stereo amplifier for the third zone. By adding three Fusion MS-WR600C wired control heads to the system—one each in the cockpit, aft cabin and saloon—we can control the audio in each zone even while the Zeus system is off. It's a great solution but not perfect as the MFD and remote control heads sometimes seem to argue with each other for control with the Zeus (head of the gods after all), turning the audio back on after the remotes (lesser gods?) turns it off. The Zeus always wins until it is turned off. B&G tells us this will be fixed in an future firmware update.

PUTTING THINGS TO THE TEST
The Zeus system comes with integrated 2D and shaded relief Insight charts as well as basic Navico charts. The Insight charts seemed very complete for our cruising area. Also, a micro-SD slot is provided in the Zeus MFD for Navionics Platinum Plus, TurboView charts and some others.
Before the autopilot can be used, it must be commissioned using first an at-the-dock procedure and then an underway procedure, the latter involving motoring the boat slowly in a circle at a displayed turning rate.
We found our wind instrument was intermittent and traced that down to a bad connector on the masthead cable. B&G quickly replaced this cable and it has been utterly reliable since then.
The cockpit Triton displays, one set to depth/speed and the other to wind, are very intuitive with the wind display providing an amazing amount of easy to consume information including true and apparent wind speed and angle, cross current direction and speed, autopilot heading and tack angles. It was easy to set the lighting on these display to sync with the MFD so that dimming the MFD or setting it to night mode instantly set the Triton displays to the same lighting level.
The feast for the eyes, though, is the Zeus Touch 12 display. What is displayed on each page can be selected from several pre-configured layouts or completely customized within one, two, three or four windows per page. Multiple custom display configurations can be saved and quickly selected for display. We tend to sail with the screen split displaying both SailSteer and chart screens.
With the fluxgate compass installed, the radar display can be overlaid on the chart and showed perfect tracking. The autopilot control window can be invoked by several means and dismissed when not needed. On an upwind leg we found the autopilot steering to the wind wasted few movements in tracking the wind shifts and actually out sailed an adjacent boat. We were quickly able to configure our preferences such as range rings and vessel extension lines and were impressed with the level of configurability of the displays.
The layline feature is truly technology resembling magic. With tidal flow correction turned on, the system can provide constantly updated tack and jibe lines off the next waypoint, including early and late tack lines as well within the current conditions and performance of the boat. This can save time and help avoid premature tacks that can result in additional tacks.
On our first cruise at sea with the system, as we normally do, we practiced crew overboard drills. After a few hand steered figure eights we were able to review our tracks on the MFD and see just how well we had done in optimizing our returns to the MOB. Then we decided to see what would happen if we let Barry (the autopilot) return us to the MOB—after all, Barry, once seeing an MOB mark set, asks if you would like him to navigate back to the MOB. Now, Barry needs some sailing safety lessons, as he jibed us from a broad reach instead of tacking the boat. The support folks at B&G agreed that could have been very dangerous and potentially damaging to the boat in hairy conditions and promised to consider working on the software logic to avoid jibing when returning to an MOB mark. After all, the MFD has all the data and power to figure that out.

TYING TO THE COMPUTER
When planning a route, I prefer to do the work on the laptop computer in a program such as OpenCPN and then import the waypoints and routes to the chartplotter. With our old laptop running The Cap'n navigational software, loading waypoints and routes to our 20 plus year old autopilot was just a matter of pushing a button. So far the only way we have found to transfer waypoints and routes from our laptop running OpenCPN to the MFD has been "sneaker net" using a micro-SD card. With the GoFree wireless system we are waiting for a simple wireless upload mechanism but this has not yet been available. Since there are levels of "openness" of the B&G system available for developers, perhaps an OpenCPN to Zeus wireless or even a wired upload solution using NMEA-0183 will become available in the future.
HAPPINESS IN 2014
Moving to modern digital electronics has been a boon to the Queen, but now Jill sometimes calls to Barry in her sleep. Leveraging the old autopilot drive has worked out perfectly and having two color cockpit displays provides more and clearer data than five monochrome displays had previously. All data is now available on a single display at the nav station and the 12-inch MDF in the cockpit brings everything including AIS and radar together in an easy to use, easy to see—day or night—and easy to understand display. And while we did have, and are still experiencing, some growing pains in getting the entire system to function properly, I'm confident this would be the case with any major update in electronics.
The finished MFD installation
After two weeks aboard cruising on the Atlantic and in the Florida Keys, Jill is in love with the B&G instruments, especially in tight ICW channels, and I am still learning about all of their features. And yes Honey, I can turn down the music.
For over a decade now, Pete Dubler has been writing for BWS about projects on his Pearson 424 including articles in this series detailing her complete restoration and refit. During 2015, under a phased retirement program, Pete and his wife Jill will spend more time shaking out S/V Regina Oceani and plan to depart for worldwide cruising in December 2015.

Dwellers with small homes to navigate or large homes with narrow doorways: it arrives in a box so it can be easily moved around, so long as you have someone to help – it's heavy!
The unpacking
The mattress arrives in a box...
I was somewhat relieved to see that the mattress arrived tightly rolled in a box. We have a steep, narrow staircase and I remember all too well the struggles of getting our old mattress up the stairs, so this was a big tick from the start. It is heavy, mind, so I strongly advise getting some help to haul it up the stairs, or wherever you need to move it to in the home.
Out of the box you'll find that the mattress is wrapped up snug in a plastic bag. I say snug because once you start to open this bag, the mattress will start to unravel so it is doing far more than just protecting it. My husband, Joe, helped me to pull the mattress out of the box and into position on the bed. A handy little cutter, along with some paperwork, then emerged which I used to cut a line in the plastic with. It didn't take long for the mattress to be free as the force behind it helped to get it out of the bag.
Having the mattress out on the frame did initially look rather squished up. And there was an evident odour which filled the room somewhat, which had a plastically scent. We, admittedly, released the mattress from the box a bit late in the day (7pm) which only gave it a few hours to puff up to the advertised 28cm depth. It needed longer looking at the sides BUT was still a comfortable first night's sleep regardless. In Simba's little welcome pack it says that the mattress needs three to five hours to make itself at home but for us it took until we woke up in the morning to notice that the mattress was awakened, too. That odour was still lingering though...
Sleeping on the Simba Hybrid Pro
After the first couple of weeks, the unusual smell (which is down to the foam) had left the room. Both of us had also almost fully adjusted to our new mattress which started to feel like a pleasure to lie on, and was easy enough to get in and out of. Being six months pregnant, this is really important to me because I'm starting to feel (and look) big so the idea of any kind of rolling around to try to sit up or get out of bed would not be ideal so thankfully this was not the case on the Simba Hybrid Pro.
Come to think of it... motion transfer. I'm a lighter sleeper than I'm used to being these days (annoying) so any type of stir from the other side of the bed will wake me up. I'm pleased to report that aside from the duvet mysteriously being pulled from left to right, up and down, I didn't feel a flinch as Joe turned over. Not even a tremor, although I was fully aware that he was resident. For Joe, on the other hand, he could feel me move but not to the point it was an annoyance (he says) – guess this depended on where he was on his sleep cycle, and how rough I was being as I wrestled to get my pregnancy pillow where I wanted it to be during the night. He is also much taller than me so his experience is slightly different from my own.
This experience must come down to the (up to) individual 5,000 25mm titanium alloy conical pocket Aerocoil™ springs which work in harmony with the high definition, edging supporting foam and zoned support base. Those innovative springs are cone shaped which means that they individually respond to your body, and more can simply be packed in for even greater support. After all, Simba do say 'more springs, more comfort' on their website so this must be the innovation behind it.
This image displays our firmness test; 10 being rock hard, 0 being super soft
The tension of the Simba Hybrid Pro is not clearly advertised but, given the number of springs and the fact that this is a hybrid mattress I would say that it is a medium-firm, airing more on the side of medium. This is my own conclusion I've drawn, anyway. I have tended to prefer a firm mattress in the past but have found that the Simba mattress has some sinkage to it, which is actually a good thing when you're a side sleeper like we are so our shoulders can be comfortably nestled into the surface.
Just to demonstrate the tension, the graph above shows how Joe and I have scored the mattress out of 10. Joe is 6ft 4 and well built so he naturally found the mattress slightly less firm than I did and gave it a six out of 10 for firmness. I'm 5ft 8 and carrying a sprog so I've being mainly lying on my left-hand-side or on my back, which has given me support whilst being nicely squishy on the surface, too – I gave it seven out of 10 for firmness.
To test the weight (below) I hauled my 56lb / 4stone weight up the stairs and onto the bed. In the middle of the bed I measured 7 (7cm) on our 1 - 10 firmness scale which isn't the firmest we have reviewed, nor is it the softess. so I class this as a medium-firm mattress. If I'm honest, I was surprised to see it sink by so much because it doesn't feel like that when lying on the mattress or getting up from it, which goes to show that there is still a tremendous amount of support which surrounds you as it responds to your body.
You'll gently sink in to the surface for a (very) comfortable yet well supported sleep
On the edge of the mattress I thought I would try manoeuvring the weight a couple of times to see if the measurements would be any different. It seemed to be the closer I went to the edge, the less sinkage there was. One layer up from the zoned support base is a high-definition foam with edge support which comes into play here (more on this below). It was one of the last areas of the mattress to puff up after unpacking which, okay, is all around the mattress, but needless to say that it does a superb job of keeping the mattress in a good shape and helping us to get out of the bed (it's enough of a struggle as it is with the dark December mornings).
A layer of edge support is working it's magic
It's just 12cm from the edge with no sign of toppling over
Let's try it a bit closer to the edge....

Simba Hybrid Pro mattress fillings
All Simba mattresses (including this one) are sourced and made in Europe, working with state-of-the-art factories in the UK. This is true for the origins of every single one of the seven fillings which fill the Simba Hybrid Pro.
Starting at the top is a super-soft, breathable sleep surface which is hypoallergenic but NOT removable or washable. There is a zip underneath the mattress but this is labelled as being for manufacturing purposes only, so best to not touch that. It's worth flagging at this point that one of the best mattress protector you can find would be invaluable here for extending the life of your mattress, by protecting it from any little accidents. Moving on down to the second layer is a natural wool layer which is naturally temperature regulating, making it a dream choice for hot sleepers throughout all-seasons in particular. Testing the mattress in the winter meant that we didn't find ourselves getting hot, but equally we didn't wake up during the night perspiring so I'm confident that the mattress could breath beneath us.
After this layer there's then a further layer of temperature regulation with open cell Simbatex foam with graphite for cooling. And then, taking up two layers, is up to 5,000 25mm, individual conical pocket titanium alloy Aerocoil™ springs which have been manufactured in Leeds (UK) which have each been enclosed in a 100 per cent polyester pocket for responding to every move of your body.
High definition foam with edge support and a zoned support base provide a sturdy base which then complete the total number of layers for a solid sleep.
Every Simba mattress comes with a ten year guarantee, free delivery to most in the UK and free returns if you decide the mattress isn't quite right for you during the 200 night trial.
The trial is competitive with other key players in the mattress world which offers you the chance to try the Simba Hybrid Pro for up to 200 days. It's a good chance to give it a whirl before you fully commit, plus it's a good way round not being able to try the mattress out in a store. If you decide hat this is not the mattress for you then you can just call the customer services team to arrange for collection and a full refund. And don't worry – they wouldn't dream of asking you to get it back in the box (phew!)
In most cases, Simba deliver seven days a week when you pick a date at checkout with ZERO contact delivery as standard. The best time to order? When there's a Simba mattress deal on, of course!
How does it rate online?
On the Simba website the Hybrid Pro and Hybrid mattresses are pulling through the same 56, 393 reviews (and counting). Out of five stars, customers here have collectively awarded the mattresses 4.8 stars so unless you filter reviews by 'simba hybrid pro' or scroll through them all, it can be a little tricky to decipher the comments made about this particular mattress.
After deploying both of these hacks I have seen some stand out comments about the Hybrid Pro with one customer citing: 'we didn't think Simba could beat the standard (Simba Hybrid) mattress and now they have!!' Another customer says: 'Hybrid pro is the best mattress I've ever slept on. Hugely improved sleep' so although the mattress has only been available to buy for a few months at best, it's off to really good start. The only slight negative on the Pro I can see so far was the small issue of the persistent smell which this particular customer was still experiencing one month on.
Elsewhere I've found the Simba Hybrid Pro on Amazon UK. The positive responses are echoed here with 4.3 out of 5 stars being awarded for both mattresses but it is clear which of the two if being referred to by looking at the Style Name in the review box: the Pro has 7 layers. Looking at these, customers remark about how greatly the mattress has improved their sleep because it's just so comfortable and supportive – many now struggle to get out of bed (for the right reasons!).
How does the Simba Hybrid and Simba Hybrid Pro compare?
In a nutshell, the main difference between the Simba Hybrid and the Simba Hybrid Pro lies in the layers and the number of springs in each; the Hybrid has five layers of comfort and up to 3,000 springs, and the Pro has seven layers of comfort and up to 5,000 springs.
Those added springs and layers make for even more responsive support, even better heat regulation and ultimately an even more comfy night's sleep. The Pro also comes with unbeatable temperature regulation – thanks to the luxurious natural wool top layer – and a super soft, breathable hypoallergic cover.
The Hybrid Pro is Simba's most advanced mattress so far but as you can see from our Simba mattress review, you'll always experience a decent night's sleep with either one of these options. It just depends on what you are looking for from a mattress, and your budget.
Is the Simba Hybrid Pro worth it? Here's our verdict...
If you want a mattress to gently sink in to whilst feeling well and truly supported then I would recommend this mattress to you, 100 per cent. As a side sleeper, and occasionally back sleeper depending on how my baby bump is feeling, the Hybrid Pro has been a dream to retreat to at the end of each day. There is some motion transfer, there's no denying that, but Joe and I are both quite tall and well built so I would expect that to some degree. There's also that touch of luxury with the temperature regulating wool layer, which is a very cool thought as I drift off. I'm confident you'll love this as much as I have reviewing it. Now, onto the next one...
