PiggyBot is a new allowance app from BancVue that landed in the iOS App Store earlier this month. Unlike other piggy banks that track real money in your child's physical piggy bank, PiggyBot is a ledger sheet that tracks virtual money.
The virtual currency of PiggyBot is wonderful for busy parents who don't always have a five dollar bill in their pocket when it comes to paying out allowance or dispensing cash for an extra chore well done. Instead of handing over a paper bill, PiggyBot allows a parent to create an account on an iPhone and add money to that virtual account as needed.
The account options in PiggyBot allow each child to have an allotment of money for savings, for sharing and for spending. When parents add money to a child's account they can determine where the money will go and then child can decide how to share or spend it. When a child is ready to make a purchase, the parent will know immediately how much the child has in their bank and can deduct that amount on the fly.
The app is meant to be used by parents and children, with the parents controlling the accounts and dispensing the money, and the children adding in items they want to buy and people with which they want to share their money. Each account is locked by a pin, so children can't access the parent's account and each sibling is locked to their own account.
PiggyBot has a colorful interface with enough customizations that the app can be personalized for each child, but the options are not overwhelming. Each child can change the color of their virtual bank account as well as add an image, for example. There are no syncing options, so the data resides only on a single device.
PiggyBot is associated with Kasasa, a national brand of free checking and savings accounts that offers rewards. The app is meant to be a utility for parents and a learning too for children to help them manage their money wisely by allowing them to spend, share and save their cash. There are no logins and the app is not tied to any checking account services. Other than the "Powered by Kasasa" logo at the bottom, there are no ads in the app.
PiggyBot is available for free. It is compatible with the iPhone and iPad and requires iOS 7.
Daily App: PiggyBot is a colorful allowance tracker for both parents and kids originally appeared on Breaking Apple News, Tips and Reviews from The Unofficial Apple Weblog on Mon, 07 Apr 2014 09:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.


I love St. Patrick! Say this meditation on St. Patrick's Day (March 17th) to give it more power. Both St. Patrick and the leprechauns represent the beautiful spirituality of Ireland. Leprechauns are amazing at bringing in abundance.
See emerald green sparkles in front of you. Now imagine an emerald green ray of light beaming out from your heart chakra ("shock-rah," near your heart but in the middle of your chest). This emerald green ray transmits the energy of love. Ask St. Patrick to visit you. See him standing before you, bathed in this emerald green ray of love. He is dressed like a Catholic priest, with gold and green Celtic symbols embroidered on his outfit. Say, "Dear St. Patrick, I have called you in to bless me with an abundance of love and riches." See a green Celtic heart (with knotwork in the middle) float toward you from his outstretched hand. Know that St. Patrick is blessing you with love.
To help bless you with riches, St. Patrick calls in his friends the leprechauns. Everyone knows the leprechauns are lucky! See three leprechauns standing in front of you. They look a bit like the dwarves from "Snow White" but they wear forest green clothes: felt leggings, a matching top edged in a ruffle and a pointy green cap. Each leprechaun steps forward and hands you a lucky shamrock. As soon as you take the lucky shamrocks, the leprechauns start singing and dancing. They dance away from you, saying, "We're off to find the pot of gold!" Wave goodbye to them. They'll reappear once they've found gold for you.
Manifesting abundance is all about shortening the time between cause and effect. Your positive thinking is the cause and the effect is realizing your dreams. Visualize what you want. Create a vision board with positive affirmations, Bible quotes, pictures ripped out of magazines and inspiring post cards. Do meditations and even hypnosis. See in your mind what you want to achieve. The more passionate you are, the quicker you will attract what you want. Know that the world has infinite resources and God wants you to achieve your dreams.
Now, see a thick mist of gold sparkles. The sparkles form a golden path. Walking towards you on this path are the leprechauns. Watch as they set down a heavy black pot overflowing with gold coins. Ask them, "Where, oh where, did you find this pot of gold?" They'll reply, "Why, at the end of a rainbow, of course!" Admire the gold coins. Pick one up and inspect it. Is it shiny? Is it heavy? Is it inscribed with writing or embossed with a symbol? The more real the gold coins are to you, the better. Say good bye and thank you to the leprechauns. Know that the luck of the Irish is with you!

Hierarchical models
Understanding levels of variation and mixed models
Data that has some kind of hierarchical structure to it is very common in many fields, but is rarely discussed in introductory statistics courses. Terms used to describe this kind of data include hierarchical data, multi-level data, longitudinal data, split-plot designs or repeated measures designs. Statistical models used for these types of data include mixed-effects models (often abbreviated to just mixed models), repeated measures ANOVA and generalised estimating equations (GEEs).
All of these terms and models arose from different contexts, but they share a common feature. Observations are not independent, as many classical statistical methods assume, and there is structure to the dependence which can be incorporated into a statistical model.
Using a statistical model which doesn't account for the hierarchical nature of this data will give incorrect results.
Common examples of hierarchical data
Data with two levels of variation often arise when multiple measurements are made on the same units of observation. In the case of designed experiments, treatments may also be assigned to different levels of the hierarchy. Factors are commonly described as within-subject (varying at the lowest level) or between-subject (varying at a higher level). Some examples:
Measurements made on the same people at several points in time. This is often called longitudinal data. In this example, time would be a within-subject factor and most other variables of interest—e.g., treatment, age or gender—would be between-subject.
Measurements made at different depths of a number of rock core samples. In this example, the depths would be a within-subject factor and the location where the sample was obtained would be a between-subject factor.
Assigning different treatments to different legs, arms or eyes of a number of people. For example, one eye may be given a new drug and the other eye a placebo. In this example, treatment is a within-subject factor.
A split-plot experiment in agriculture: splitting plots of land into sections, planting different crops in each section, and using different irrigation methods on different plots. In this example, variety is a within-plot factor and irrigation is a between-plot factor.
A split-mouth design in dentistry: assigning different treatments to different parts of participants' mouths.
It is possible to have more than two levels of variation. Some examples from different fields of research:
Students within classrooms within schools.
Repeated surveys administered to individuals within organisations.
Glands within lesions within patients.
Blocks of land divided into plots divided into subplots.
In situations with multiple levels, it is common to describe variables based on the level at which they are measured or assigned, e.g. student-level, classroom-level or school-level.
Random effects
Multi-level data is commonly modelled using mixed-effects models, which get their name because they have both fixed effects and random effects. Fixed effects are the kind of explanatory variables you may be used to in ANOVA or linear regression: you would like to directly estimate the effect of these variables on your outcome. For example: treatment (drug or placebo) and time; crop variety and irrigation; depth and location of rock core samples. In these examples, the random effects would be the variables which group together correlated observations: participants in a trial; plots of land; rock core samples.
Here are two different ways to think about random effects:
Random effects are factors where the individual levels are random samples from a larger population, or can be thought of in this way.
Random effects are factors where you don't care about the actual effect they have on your outcome, just their ability to account for correlation between observations.
For a random effect, instead of estimating the effect of each specific level of the factor (e.g. each individual in a study), the model estimates the variance explained by that factor. This is sometimes reported as the proportion of variation explained at each level, e.g. 63% of variance was at the individual level.
Random effects can be "nested" inside other random effects if there are more than two levels of variation. For example, "classroom within school" could be specified as a random effect.
Simpler analysis options
It is sometimes possible to simplify an analysis if there are no variables which distinguish individuals at a particular level. For example, consider an experiment in which treatments were randomly assigned to litters of pigs but measurements were made on individual pigs, with no pig-level variables (e.g. sex) of interest in the analysis. In this situation, analysing litter averages would be a simpler analysis providing the same results as the mixed model.
Another common situation is when there is a single within-subjects factor with two levels, for example before and after measurements. This kind of design can be analysed with a paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed rank test.
As a practical consideration, random effects work best when they have a reasonable number of different levels. It may be better to treat a factor which is conceptually random as a fixed effect instead in some cases; e.g. if you are studying students from two or three schools, school should probably be a fixed effect rather than a random effect. There are also situations where this approach is not appropriate.
If in doubt about how to analyse your multi-level data, consult a statistician.
Study design considerations
Effects at the lowest level of the hierarchy (e.g. within-subject) are usually estimated more precisely than effects at higher levels (e.g. between-subject). Or equivalently, tests of within-subject effects tend to be more powerful than tests of between-subject effects. One intuition about this is that there are more observations at the lowest level (e.g. number of subplots) than there are at higher levels (e.g. number of plots). Another way to look at this is that for within-subject factors, each individual unit of observation is effectively their own control.

kintone is useful for creating Meeting Minutes Apps for document sharing, and Wiki Apps for Knowledge management. Features such as tracking history of records and enabling process management helps these Apps operate well in a team.
These Apps require a lot of documentation to be written in the records. Although kintone provides a Rich Text Editor in an App by default, writing with markdown syntax will allow users to write clean documents easily.
marked styles strings that are written in markdown syntax.
View the README of marked to understand the types of supported markdown syntaxes.
As an example, we will create a simple Meeting Minutes App, and customize it to support Markdown. Markdown Syntax used in the Text Area field will be displayed in a Markdown format in the Space field of the Record Details page.
Create a new App with the following fields.
The URL can be found in the kintone CDN.
When you write down markdown syntax into the Text Area field and save the record, the Markdown format will be displayed in the Space field of the Record Details page. The Text Area field will be hidden on the Record Details page so that the contents of the Space field will stand out.
The output though doesn't look that great yet. marked only changes the written Markdown Syntax into an HTML format. Therefore, only the default kintone style is applied to the output. We can make it look better by applying additional CSS.
Add a class name to the markdown-display Space field.
Save the App's settings, and confirm that the style is applied to the Markdown on the Record Details page.
Using markdown syntax is an easy way to document with nicely styled text. Although kintone only supports an RTE for any sort of styled text, this customization extends kintone's functionality for those in need for a cleaner interface.


I got back from Anchorage, Alaska last week, I went just for fun (and for the miles). I was actually on American's first flight of the season to Alaska. At the airport they were hardly prepared for our flight, they had someone new who couldn't even open the planes door and the baggage carousel they directed us to was wrong, so was the app and carousel screen. However, it was a nice flight from Dallas to Anchorage with minimal turbulence.
I booked the flight in March for $411.90 from JFK international airport. It was quite a steal and it got me 8,868 (17,736 with elite bonus). The flight was operated and marketed by American, so I was able to get upgraded to first class, which was worth it despite it being on an old B757.
I've always wanted to go to Alaska but the cheap flights always seemed to be in the winter when the weather is terrible. I've never seen it for the price I paid though so I instantly booked it and requested my upgrade. Anchorage is nice, its a small town with a big city feel, most of the nearby activities are within a 1-2 hour drive. I rented a car from Hertz, my "brother" works for them and so I paid about $45 for 3 nights, it was a Chevrolet with only 1,890 miles on it. Hertz upgraded me for free at the airport, it was very nice of them. I stayed in Anchorage for a total of 4 nights and 4 days, I didn't get a rental car on the first day because I landed at around 7pm and the hotel had a shuttle to the airport so I saved some money by just getting the car the next day.
Any who, below is a list of things to do, eat and stay while in Anchorage Alaska and the estimated price of each activity. Images are below.
We stayed in a hotel called the Coast International Inn near the airport, it was very inexpensive and had free parking and WiFi. The hotel was clean and had a lodge-cabin feel to it. Even though our room didn't seem to have working A/C or heating I would definitely stay there again because it is cheap and in a good location – very safe as well and the staff were friendly, especially at check-out when they hand you feedback cards.
The Portage Glacier Tour was expensive but definitely worth it if you've never seen a glacier. The tour lasts about 1 hour and is done via a boat. The glacier is smaller than their website makes it out to be. I was disappointed by it but I guess I still got to see a glacier, even for the price tag of $34.
The Alaska Aviation Museum was very neat, especially if you like planes and aviation. Alaska Airlines donated a Boeing 737 to the museum which you can walk around and take pictures of, they also have a cockpit simulator that you can mess with. For $10 you really do learn a lot of aviation history in Alaska through the World Wars and onward.
The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center has a bunch of bison, moose and bears. You pay $12.50 per person (up to a certain amount per car) and you get to drive around the center and visit the different animals they have. Yes, you get to drive around! The center plans to reintroduce a bunch of Bison into the wild in 2015, their efforts are amongst one of the top Bison recovery efforts in the nation. The center has many other animals as well, check out their website for a full list.
Overall, paying $411.90 for a roundtrip ticket to Anchorage, Alaska was worth it. I am glad I went and would definitely go again if I had the opportunity. The weather wasn't the best, hopefully next time I go I can get a bit more sun and clear skies to enjoy the great outdoors that Alaska is known for.
Until my return to Alaska (one day), I have a trip to Barcelona, Marrakesh, Casablanca and Cairo coming up in the next 2 weeks. I will post those trip reviews as soon as I finish them.

May 14 (Reuters) - Healthcare services provider UDG Healthcare Plc raised its full-year earnings per share growth forecast as it expects the recent acquisition of KnowledgePoint360 to boost its commercial and medical services business.
The company, which provides outsourced sales and marketing, drug distribution and packaging services to healthcare companies, now expects adjusted EPS to grow 5-9 percent on a constant-currency basis, compared with its prior forecast of a 2-5 percent growth.
Shares in the company rose 3.25 percent in early trade, pushing the stock into the list of top percentage gainers on the FTSE-250 Midcap Index.
UDG Healthcare, earlier known as United Drug, bought healthcare communications business KnowledgePoint360 for $144 million in late February to expand in the United States and Europe.
The company said adjusted operating profit rose 2 percent to 45.0 million euros ($62 million) in the six months ended March 31.
This growth was driven by a 36 percent jump in operating profit at its Ashfield Commercial and Medical Services division, which houses KnowledgePoint360.
"We are encouraged by the performance of Ashfield which we estimate will be the group's largest profit contributor from H214 onwards," Goodbody Stockbrokers analyst David O'Brien said in a note.
Ashfield division provides sales teams, telesales, nurse educators, medical information, healthcare communications and event management services to healthcare companies in 22 countries.
UDG Healthcare Chief Executive Liam FitzGerald told Reuters that he expects KnowledgePoint360 to bring in revenue of $100 million and EBITDA of about $16 million a year.
KnowledgePoint360 was UDG Healthcare's biggest acquisition.
"Given the size of the KnowledgePoint360 deal, there will be a period of consolidation now before we look to grow the business through acquisitions in the future," Fitzgerald added.
KnowledgePoint360 provides medical education, publication support and scientific content development to global pharmaceutical companies.
Revenue rose 2.34 percent to 1.04 billion euros in the six months ended March 31, the company said.
Davy Research analyst Jack Gorman said in a note to clients that the addition of KnowledgePoint360 should ensure strong earnings acceleration for the company in the second half of the year.

The images of the Arsenal players were passing ballads with them; including the content that was inside the creation of a cast in the English football. Although it is longer than all London warnings of star star misconduct, the more common use of young people in these lills.
What is it? Out of a hippy crack. Not a laughter gas. Fashion of drugs that evolved fashion in the last few years in England.

The amazing thing is that it is a legal sale in the material; in this ballad, lost with those who want to try. It is exclusively banned as a result of exchanges for older people.
According to experts in the field, the drug – nitrous oxide that is put into balloons will be introduced – to allow the causes to be transported and so on; get more awareness when listening to sounds. In the case of Arsenal players they were eating it in a bowling line, so music was thought to be high
Smiling gas has a sweet taste and causes anesthetic and dissociative effects that create a temporary euphoria state.
Doctors have been damaged by the drug due to the possible health problems, such as euphoria states, moments and laughter voices.
In the video the Sun was broadcast and recorded in August, before the Premier League started, you will see the Arsenal players, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Matteo Guendouzi, Alexandre Lacazette, Mesut Özil, Shokodran Mustafi and Hippy skin use a & # 39; using Kolasinac.
The Armenian Henrikh Mkhitaryan is the only player who looks at the scene but who does not see drugs, refusing to offer a companion to make a balloon.

Hopefully the title has caught your attention - yes, no, maybe? First let me be clear that this is not a slight towards Active Rain. In fact far from it. I am a firm believer in how great the Active Rain Real Estate network has been to all it's members since the day it was first created.
There has been a lot of changes since Active Rain first hit the scene but it has remained a powerful social media tool. I can speak from personal experience, as I was one of the original bloggers to join the network.
Active Rain however is much different now then when it was first cutting it's teeth as a great place for Realtors to hang out and share ideas on how to grow their business. Back then it was far more personal then the behemoth it has grown into. Such is life and to be expected when something is so successful.
What is amazing to me is how many members here put all their eggs in one basket. They fail to realize there is more to social media than just blogging and commenting on Active Rain all day. In fact there are a number of social media tools that most in the Real Estate community are missing out on because they have their collective heads in the sand. Sorry to be so blunt but it's true.
How do I know this? On past occasions I have written about other social media networks here and how they can be of benefit to a Real Estate agent, mortgage broker, stager or any one else with a tie to the Real Estate industry. There are certainly other ways a Realtor can use social media for increased Real Estate sales and business connections besides Active Rain.
When I have written about other social media avenues in the past what always puzzles me is the comments you will get by many of the members here that go a little something like this "I really need to start using Google Plus more", "I have a Twitter account but don't know what to tweet about", "Pinterest looks interesting but I just don't have the time."
Hello Active Rain! Yes you really need to make time! There is a world out there waiting for you! You need to branch out and expand your online visibility. There are so many who don't know what their missing. It is funny because I do not spend nearly as much time here as I used to. The reason why I don't is simple - there are other places that are equally important and stand a better chance of helping me achieve greater business success. That is not a knock on Active Rain - it just stands to reason that diversifying what you do in social media is important.
This doesn't mean you have to abandon what you are doing here, you just need to make the time and put in the effort to use other channels to promote your business. Ok so how do you do this?
Other than having your own blog, there is nothing more powerful that you can do for your business than using Google Plus on a daily basis. If you took a survey of every Real Estate agent on this platform and asked them what their number one goal in blogging was, I am quite sure that being found in search would be near, if not at the very top of the list. We all want to see our content on the first page of Google because it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know this is what makes the phone ring.
You would have to be under a rock not to know this by now, but if you have not claimed authorship to all of the blogs you write then you are missing out on a huge opportunity for business growth. When you claim authorship to your content there will often times be a picture of yourself next to the search results when someone does a search in which you are found. Why is this important? It is estimated that the click through increase on a result with a picture is as much as 30 percent greater.
So in order to paint a crystal clear picture here, you could be at the bottom third of the search results and if you have a picture next to the results even though you are positioned lower, there is a much greater chance of getting a visit to your website. Claiming authorship is something everyone who blogs should do.
When many Real Estate agents join social media platforms they make a few very big crucial mistakes. One of them is treating the platform as an advertising vehicle and not a place to grow relationships. The automatic inclination of many Realtors is to have a "billboard mentality". They will join Google Plus, start dropping in their listings and then wonder why they get no social interaction from anyone. The answer is really very simple - nobody cares about your listing on Main Street. The same can be said for anyone who just hits the share buttons at the top of the screen and does nothing else.
Link dropping is not what social media is about. You will never find any success from social media channels until you realize these are places to make personal connections first and foremost. Just like you have done here at Active Rain by the way. It is not until you have established yourself in these mediums that anyone is ever going to support you for your listing that you want to share with the world.
Those that are really successful in social media do three things - they share their own awesome content, they share others exceptional content and they engage by commenting with others. This is how you win with social media. Awesome content is not a Real Estate listing - sorry it isn't.
If you take a look at my account over at Google Plus you will notice I have over 22,000 followers. People ask me all the time how I was able to get so many people to follow me. It is as simple as what I just mentioned above. I don't do what 95% of all other Realtors will do on social media sites and wonder why they never get anywhere. Like this article, a good part of what I do is try to help others achieve some success. The fact I have been in the business for twenty six years and have a strong understanding of SEO and social media allows me to pitch in and try to give solid advice to others.
Keep in mind none of the other social media platforms have a direct tie in to search. Google Plus is Google guys! Using Google Plus helps your business from a search engine standpoint. Did you know you can write an article in Google Plus that can be found as a search result? You certainly can! Each piece of content you post also has the potential to be enhanced with social signals such as shares, comments and plus ones. These are validation points that your article is worthy of attention.
So how can you make Google Plus work for you and your Real Estate business? Establish yourself by going in daily and sharing your best work. Make sure you answer any comments you get. Comment on other members content you find interesting. It is more than likely thoughtful comments on other peoples work is going to get you noticed quicker than your own content if you are new to the platform.
If you are looking for pointers on social media or search engine optimization there are some incredible groups where you will see so much great content it is almost overwhelming. Trust me on this one - Google Plus is one of the most well educated social media settings you will ever be apart of. This is not Facebook folks! When you log in type in my name and follow me. I post around five times a week about Real Estate, social media and SEO.
Pinterest is one of the fastest growing social media channels and a perfect place for a Realtor to use as a content sharing platform. It works perfectly for those in the Real Estate industry as everything we do is so visual.
If you have not heard about Pinterest or played around with it enough, here is a brief overview to get you up to speed.
Basically, Pinterest is a virtual bulletin board. You can "pin" images or videos from all over the internet to different boards that you have created onto your profile. The amount boards that you can have are unlimited. Each pin has a description and links directly to the website you got the image or video from.
Once you share a pin, your followers can like it and re-pin it to one of their Pinterest boards, which will be seen by anyone who is following them. That can mean a great deal of visibility in a brief amount of time if used properly.
One point that is worth emphasizing is that Pinterest has the longest shelf life of a pinned article or photo. There are very few sites where your content can get shared consistently for such long period of time.
When I first heard about Pinterest I stereotyped it as a place for a bunch of housewives to hang out and share pictures of pocketbooks and shoes. Boy was I wrong! Pinterest is a powerful content sharing platform especially since they upgraded the site to have "rich pins" for those that are sharing articles. Pinterest has now become one of my favorite social sites due to how much traffic it can drive back to your website or blog. In fact the site is great from a personal perspective as well. Check out my board called funny pictures and videos and you will see what I mean.
Whether you are new to Pinterest or have been using it for a while I would encourage you to read how a Realtor can use Pinterest. Once you have spent a few weeks using and learning the ropes at Pinterest I would encourage you to join a group Real Estate board. Essentially a group Real Estate board at Pinterest is a place where those who have been invited can pin their best or someone else 's great content. The benefit is that far more people see something that is posted to a group board. Every person who follows a member in the group will see each of the pins in the group, along with anyone just follows the group but is not a member.
In the link to the Pinterest Real Estate group above you will see at the very top their is a description for the group along with what you can and can't post. If you read carefully you will also see instructions on how you can become a member of this Real Estate group! If you want to see a rise in the amount of people following you and the interaction you get on your pins, joining a group is a smart move.
Here is a little bonus advice for those who have enjoyed following along. One of the best ways I have found to drive people to your blog is to have built-in pages that are dedicated to providing outstanding local Real Estate information for the cities and towns you cover. Obviously Active Rain does not have integrated pages so if you have a blog elsewhere such as Wordpress this is an absolute must.
It will drive a tremendous amount of targeted traffic to your site if you create something comprehensive. Here is an example of one of my community pages for Westborough Massachusetts. Would you agree that someone visiting this page and wanting to learn about Westborough Massachusetts Real Estate would get a lot of helpful data points they could use. Would you also agree that if someone was looking for a Realtor they may pick up the phone and call me? On my website there are thirteen similar pages like this one.
I have created a page for each of the local towns that I do the most business in. If you do the same I am quite sure your phone will be ringing more from those looking to interview a top notch Realtor.
One last thought - for some reason there are many in the Real Estate industry that don't understand the concept of social sharing buttons. There is a reason why Active Rain installed the buttons at the top of every blog post. The buttons are there for you to click on! The purpose of social sharing tools is to be able to visit a website and SHARE the content. The sharing tools are not there just for you to share your own content.
Would you agree someone you know could see this as really useful information? Please do me a favor and share this post in all of your networks. Put it on Google Plus, Tweet it, share it on Facebook. Not only are you doing me a huge favor but you are also helping countless others who are just starting to learn how to use social media.
When you have time don't forget to visit each of the links provided here as each of them will take you to a page with information you can use to help increase your business and make you social media experience a better one. If you can share each of the article links to your social networks I would be most grateful - Enjoy!

Dialogue Commission to Start Discussion in 1st Quarter of Upcoming Fiscal Year: Chairman
Addis Ababa July 3/2022/ENA/ The National Dialogue Commission said it will start to discuss on some of the issues on the agenda in the first quarter of the upcoming Ethiopian fiscal year as it is entering the main preparation phase after completing the pre-preparatory works.
National Dialogue Commission Chairman, Professor Mesfin Araya told ENA that the commission has completed its preparatory works and is entering the main preparation phase in order to hold dialogue in the second and third months of next Ethiopian year.
"We hope that in the second and third months of next Ethiopian fiscal year, the National Dialogue Commission will begin to discuss some of the issues on the agenda," the chairman said.
The commission, which was established by the House of Peoples' Representatives proclamation, officially entered into the preparatory work after the appointment of the chairman and leadership of the commission, it was indicated.
As a result, the Commission thus far met with government officials, chief administrators of regions and leaders of religious institutions, political parties, as well as various segments of society.
"The commission has now completed the preparatory works and entered the preparation phase. It will finalize the budget and strategic plan in the coming few days and submit them to HPR for approval. Then the selection of moderators and identifying participants will continue."
He stated that consensus will be reached on the implementation of the National Dialogue with the moderators and participants.
Pointing out that training and outlining of duties with the various stakeholders and reaching consensus will be done, Mesfin indicated that the preparation phase could be completed in the first months of next year.
The Chairman urged Ethiopians to overcome their problems through dialogue and pass on a good legacy to the next generation.
It is to be recalled that the government established National Dialogue Commission aimed at resolving challenges in Ethiopia through dialogue and creating national consensus.

Sammy and Tay are doing a hell of a job replacing Cody and Brandi in the "Only Dan Lambert can get these guys cheered" feud. MJF's promo kinda missed the mark too. He should've watched Samuel L. Jackson's speech in Django and talked about all the horrible things Spears wanted to do to him, but he knows the worst thing he can do is let Wardlow languish in obscurity. I see 2.0 get the new gimmick, but the rest of the JAS wasn't really building off the great intro promo from last week. Garcia is still too much of a serious wrestler and he's clearly the one the group is designed to elevate. Hoping they do more to not just come across as a poor man's Inner Circle. Nyla is kind of a flat first challenger. Deeb would've been way better in that spot instead of her never-ending feud with Shida, but props to AEW for not backing off their original plan given the current climate. Sort of a down episode this week, but if your down episodes still have a good Punk match, a Darby/Crazy old man Sting brawl, and the Blackpool Combat Club wrecking some jobbers, you're in good shape.
March 2022 Wrestling Discussion
Go2Sleep replied to The Natural's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
Cornette's midcard "bring real wrestling back to the attitude era" gimmick was pretty funny. Can't remember if that's how they introduced Severn around that time too.
The big problem was the belts had zero direction after Hall and Nash won them. I think they were vacated at least 3 times between 97 and 98. They had an awesome revival the first half of 99, though. Benoit/Malenko, Hennig/Windham, Raven/Saturn, and Rey/Kidman were about the only bright spot during that stretch where WCW was headed for imminent collapse.
Dynamite - 3/16/2022 - St. Patrick's Day Slam
Jericho going all the way the "sports entertainer" heel gimmick shows he's still one of the best minds in business. It's going to be objectively hilarious, but crowds are going to boo the shit out of it. It has zero chance of getting "ironically over" because any visible approval would be praise for WWE (i.e. completely unforgivable from a live AEW crowd). The "real names" bit with only Daniel Garcia using his real name is brilliant. I wish they had gone a little more heavy-handed on 2.0's "real" names with more exaggerated NXT sounding things since they're the comedy guys anyway, but I see the logic of them fitting the pattern of Jericho and Hager using part of their real names. Hopefully Garcia "re-invents himself" over the next few weeks with his commitment to sports entertainment because he's the only one that doesn't fit the group aesthetic. And while obviously the Kingston/P&P feud is going to happen, I agree with whoever said the real money is with Regal's group of real wrestlers. Also, I'm glad they changed Parker's name to Angelo, because at the risk of defending WWE's draconian "no two names" policy, having two featured tag teams named Matt and Jeff is a bit too much. I also am totally down for Wheeler being Moxley and Danielson's young boy. They could definitely capture some 90s AJ magic with him finally getting a win over a higher-ranked guy in a 6-man. If they ever do the wrestlers vs. sports entertainers feud, they can round out the group with Thatcher and/or Claudio. They could also convert and re-educate Garcia as the impetus for the feud.
Michael Cole has spent most of his career as a "high floor low ceiling" guy. Overall, I thought his best work was with Taz on SD during the first brand split. My favorite match those two called was the Survivor Series 05 Raw vs. SD tag where they came in with a huge chip on their shoulder about being the B show, and just let Styles and Lawler have it during the double commentary. He was good at WM 30 too with all the Bryan stuff and "The streak... is over."
I don't know if this is it. There's ample evidence of AJ Styles shouting homophobic slurs on the indies 20 years ago, and he seems to be doing alright. Also, Hulk Hogan...
The real question is how has Drake Weurtz not gotten in on CYN yet?
JR during the Foley/Taker HIAC was huge contributor to that match. I can't think of a single finer call of a specific match. Before, during, and after he had the right words and inflection for every moment. "He's broken in half" is iconic, but everything he uttered over that 30 minutes hit just right for the moment. I'll always have a soft spot for the Tony/Bobby/Dusty WCW team I associate with my first memories of wrestling, but even today I find their call of BATB 96 to be particularly good. They ratcheted the tension up all show, always sounding on edge while still being professional enough to call the other matches properly (something that became a huge problem in the later NWO days), and then they just let their emotions fly in the main event. I never understood what people even hated about Heenan's "Whose side is he on" line. It was perfectly in character, and Tony and Dusty's indignant scoffs set up the moment just right. Even after being proven right, Bobby couldn't bring himself to gloat in the aftermath. Everyone was so thoroughly defeated.
Definitely agree on Daniels. Even in that triple threat, he was a major third wheel. The Joe/Styles singles match a couple months later was way better (among TNA's best matches actually). Recently, the Kacy/Kayden team. All time, Dean Malenko. Maybe he's too good to qualify for the spirit of the question (Like it's not unreasonable to enjoy Dean Malenko matches), but I could watch hours of his random Nitro/Thunder matches and was always happy when he had any type of success.

Generally speaking, no one going to Mania weekend has any budget to worry about. Almost no one there is local, and is there with the intent of going to multiple shows, conventions, and doing other touristy things. I was fortunate enough to go a few times, and each one ran me over a couple thousand easily. Especially 31 in San Francisco. That said, you'd have to pay me a couple thousand to go to any Mania in the past 5 years.
I can't agree with Orton or HHH since both guys have a good amount of high-end stuff. Yes, they also have long bad/boring stretches, but I've enjoyed both at various points. Most of the other guys brought up would kill have to something as awesome as HHH/Austin 3 stages of hell or Orton/Foley on their resume. Or even something as good as their LMS against each other at No Mercy 07. I rejected bringing up Ziggler on similar grounds. No matter how many boring years in a row he can string together, he'll always have the Del Rio double turn match and the Survivor Series 14 tag. I can't think of a single Miz match I would want to re-watch.
Based on interviews, he seems like a super dude, so I feel kinda bad, but I think I'm gonna go with Chavo (Jr) for this one. His on-screen highlights are few and far between, and are pretty much all just the result of riding Eddie's coattails. His mini-feud with DDP as the overmatched "little brother" trying to stand up to the bully as part of the larger DDP/Eddie rivalry was probably my favorite thing he did. His best character work was probably him snapping after having to be Eddie's lackey, culminating with Norman Smiley feeding Pepe the stickhorse into a wood-chipper. Don't remember any good matches from that stretch, though. His entire WWE run was more of him getting paired with his more charismatic family members. He was the least of SD 6 guys by a lot. His singles work was completely generic, managing just a couple standout matches with Rey over about an 8 year stretch. He was also super out of place in LU and one of the worst parts of that series. Probably need to shout Miz here too. Occasionally cuts a great promo, but never could quite get there in the ring to make his act truly work. In his defense, though, he came up at the worst possible time where he had no career path except WWE monotony.
Dynamite - 3/9/22
Overall, I loved the show. Had a very attitude era feel, in a good way. Every segment had some kind of "holy shit" moment, felt like most of the roster had something to do. Normally, I wouldn't want to compare AEW to WWE, but this show had that "Raw after Mania" vibe, back when that meant something 10+ years ago. Nice foreshadowing on the Jericho turn by not having 2.0 hit him too hard early on. One of those things you could catch as a viewer, but didn't make P&P look like total idiots. That Mox/Dragon match was a tremendous squash. I can't believe the main event was how I found out that Sammy and the girl he proposed to in the ring are no longer together.

I wonder if Punk will ever have occasion to dust off the Killswitch Engage song he used for the first half of his WWE run. Not sure if there's any wrestler with a better history of entrance themes.
AEW - MAR 2022
Go2Sleep replied to matt925's topic in ALL ELITE WRESTLING
Io Shirai vs. Pentagon was a damn good match on Lucha Underground.
I feel like this analysis misses that a key point of Punk's AEW character is that he's over the hill and struggles against the higher-end young stars. MJF's character is that he's a piece of shit, but he mostly backs it up in the ring which makes him even more obnoxious. Punk dominating the match wouldn't make sense for either of them.
Not much to add, but another amazing all-around show from AEW. House of Black vs. Death Triangle deserves a shout from the pre-show. Awesome tv 6-man. Jericho/Eddie was at worst neck and neck for MOTN, and relative to my expectations, it blew me away. I can't remember the last time Jericho worked that stiff, and him going back on his word after the match was a nice cap to his heel turn. It seemed to blend Flair/Foley and Misawa/Kawada 05 in just a totally unexpected masterpiece. Punk/MJF capped of their all-time feud with a fittingly violent match. Wardlow's turn was well done and sets up each guy to leave this feud behind them for now. Bryan/Mox would've stood out more on a lesser show, but it was stiff af, and the Regal moment gave it a big moment to stand out. Dragon/Mox vs. pretty much any top AEW team is a dream match, but let's start with FTR so Regal and Tully can go at each other. So, JR getting his notes mixed up and commenting on a new belt before the men's title match instead of the women's is one of those things I will think about randomly and laugh uncontrollably. *Hangman comes out* JR: Is that a new belt? Tony (over the crowd noise): What? JR: IS - THAT - A - NEW - BELT? Tony: Uh, no I don't think so. Anyway, the main was fine and didn't feel out of place on such a stacked show. Great finishing run with Hangman looking strong and getting adequate revenge on Cole for the Rampage beatdown. Everything else on the show was decent to good with at least one big-time moment, save for Thunder/Britt. That felt like filler, but when they hinted at the rematch in San Antonio in a couple weeks, it made a lot more sense. Also assuming that will have gimmick after all the interference in this one. A+ show overall.
Rampage - 3/4/2022
Best looking tower of doom spot ever, Punk and Jade both dropping F-bombs, and Deeb's look of disgust as she yanked the "smart" jobber off the apron all made this show for me.
Agreed, trophies are a great way to give wrestlers "accomplishments" without having to bend over backwards with the writing and hurting other guys in the process. I loved it when they gave Jungle Boy the "first to 50 wins" trophy.
Don't get my hopes up that I will be able to go watch early 2000s NOAH on HBO max.
February 2022 - Professional Wrestling Omnibus Discussion
Go2Sleep replied to Dolfan in NYC's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
Misawa, Kobashi, and Akiyama were definitely doing apron death spots in the late AJ/early NOAH days. They were a staple of big NOAH matches by 05, and they started popping up in the US indy scene about the same time, since that's the style they were going for. I think Kevin Owens brought them to WWE with apron powerbomb, which was a killshot for maybe a year, but like most things WWE became devalued quickly.
2022 WRESTLERS LEAVING COMPANIES THREAD (Releases, FAs, etc...)
Go2Sleep replied to RIPPA's topic in The PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING
It's not too late because he's washed up (I've seen no indication of that in the limited WWE I've watched the last couple of years). It's too late because AEW has a clear path forward with younger home-grown stars, and if they decide they need an established guy on top for whatever reason, Danielson is the obvious choice. Claudio will have a nice place on the card and his matches will be must-see, but I wouldn't expect him to be the guy in AEW at any point.

Rampage - 2/25/2022
OC wins are the only thing that keep the Best Friends credible though. You know Chucky, Trent, and Wheeler are gonna lose every time out, but when OC is in there, they have a chance. The Best Friends and Dark Order are essential acts for building up heels, but you have to some guys in there who give them a legit chance to win or else the heels won't get anything from beating them repeatedly. OC and Page are those guys.
Yeah, I know the power couple bit is played out since HHH/Steph, but Cody and Brandi definitely had potential in that role. The only problem is that to be an effective heel, you have to be willing to lose feuds, and that was an issue for Cody in AEW (in fact, probably the main reason fans began to turn on him). Also, yay for Claudio getting out. I think it's too late for him to be a top guy in AEW, but he should definitely go there for the dream matches.

Taker used to do it in the 2000s on smaller guys as part of his "work the arm" routine to set up old school.

The Tomb Guardian (Morlock) was an adult member of the Turelim clan, charged with guarding part of the Tomb of the Sarafan. He was a Revived Vampire, so for a long period of his vampiric existence his body must have been inanimate. His soul must have wandered the Spectral Realm long enough to become a Vampire Wraith, before returning to his body. In the Material Realm, he retained the powerful soul-sucking ability he had gained as a wraith.
Raziel encountered the Tomb Guardian in Soul Reaver, shortly after discovering his Sarafan heritage within the tomb's main chamber. The Guardian was fairly arrogant, and confident that he could defeat Raziel. Raziel was unimpressed, saying that Kain had already killed him once. Of course, a Revived Vampire was not a threat compared to what Raziel had already faced.
Raziel had not yet encountered any of the Rahabim, and the Tomb Guardian was the first Turelim vampire in the game. This made him the first enemy Raziel encountered with a projectile attack. However, the Guardian was overcome with little difficulty. After he had been destroyed, Raziel claimed an artefact that granted him the Telekinetic Force Projectile ability: the skill that the Guardian and the Turelim had presumably gained naturally through their evolution.
Historically, the Tomb Guardian has often been mistaken for Turel, and on rare occasions, Malek. Raziel never met the evolved Turel in Soul Reaver (that confrontation eventually happened three games later, in Defiance), but players were expecting to fight all five of Raziel's vampire brothers. As the Tomb Guardian conversed with Raziel like the clan leaders did - and was the only ordinary vampire to do so - the misunderstanding came about. In fact, the Tomb Guardian's dialogue was an adapted version of the speech intended for Turel, before he was cut from Soul Reaver during the game's production. The confusion with Malek was due to Malek's name appearing in the Tomb of the Sarafan with no explanation of who he was. Only players of Blood Omen knew that history.
[SR1] The Tomb Guardian: "Heretic! You shall not pass..."
Raziel: "Such loyalty... to one who has you guarding this outpost like a chained dog. Do you prosper on the scraps he casts you?"
The Tomb Guardian: "Your insults will do nothing to blunt the agonies of your demise."
Raziel: "Kain killed me once - behold the result. I have no more to fear from you."
[SR1] The Elder God to Raziel (referring to the artefact gained after defeating the Tomb Guardian): "This relic has infused you with the power to compress and manipulate space. As your symbiotic weapon, the Soul Reaver is also thus enhanced. You may focus and project an orb of kinetic energy to strike objects that are otherwise beyond your reach."
[SR1] Raziel: "Kain is deified. The clans tell tales of Him. Few know the truth. He was mortal once, as were we all."

Received our Order Forms today, very happy with quick delivery from time of order and quality. I won't go anywhere else for my order forms.


oh yeah i just remember that it has HSUPA.
Right now i'm using HTC product (Ys it's Windows..) but be real, WM has many support 3rd application... especially medical app that no other OS have. (Yeah, i need medical app). Actually i'm not big fan of Windows, but what can i say?I need those app..
Usually i prefer Apple (I have MacBook Pro for me, MacBook for my wife and 1 Mac Pro), yeah they stable, faster and easier for us.
A-GPS, HSDPA, Wide screen, WiFi, 3Mp camera (It's SONY, at leas the camera quality will be accepable for "in case" use), 3.5mm audio connector,great interface.
U... i wait for this phone and it will replace my DOPOD U1000.
This phone would be dead sooner or later. As Nokia is already endeavoring to manufacture and work on the Nokia N98 that got 3 inches touchscreen display in the 800x480 display resolution and got a 7.2 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom and 30x digital zoom and ofcourse with flash(still don't know yet if it's LED or Xenon) and autofocus and Carl Zeiss Tessar camera lens which is already known to produce sharp and crisp images and VGA video in 60 frames per second with a 1.2 (ghz) processor. Yes i have typed it right. It's gigahertz!! 1.2 gigahertz is equivalent to 1200 megahertz.. And i guess the processor speed of this Xperia X1 is not enough. 528 mhz is too pathetic for a touchscreen phone! And much worse is the Windows Mobile bombarded with a 3 inches TFT display in a 800x480 resolution! I suppose the battery won't go more than a day. With the Windows Mobile OS alone, it's already very much power hungry! Along comes the TFT 3 inches display in 800x480 pixels display resolution. Duh!! Don't you know that in a TFT display, each pixel drains battery?!! So imagine putting that Windows Mobile OS, 3 inches TFT display in 800x480 pixels of display resolution all in all would be turned out useless.. Anyway, let's just wait and see if the 1500mAH battery capacity of the X1 could overcome all of those battery hungry features..
What's special about analogTV feature? Can I play standard channels directly in a phone that supports it? Sorry for my ignorance..
Here in the Philippines there are lot's of ultra cheap China touchscreen phones that has TV in it's specs.
But i'm yet to see somebody watching TV on it.
I'm currently using a SHARP DoCoMo phone with a resolution of 854x480px and I simply couldn't go back to any other resolution. It's so amazingly clear and bright - like paper!
Watching movies on a WVGA screen is a real joy lemme tell ya! So if I should ever go back to a non-DoCoMo phone I'll get an SE, Toshiba or SHARP when they release their 920SH (SX862) in Hong Kong.
The phone would be great with someone who can use plumbing.
This phone seems to be the most promising in the entire market!!!
-the newest version of windows!
-extremely big resolution and very big touchscreen screen display!!
-probably the strongest combo of CPU+RAM in the market!!
-GPS and as special bonus, 3 MP high quality camera, there are many phones that combine windows with GPS and cam, but none has such a strong CPU+Ram and have such a good camera in the same packet, not to mention its one of the slimmer qwerty s too!!!
This is SE answer his competitor iPhone!
Hope this phone will come out before July! And the price has to be lower than $800usd!
SE always build good quality phone!
it will rock the world ..!!
its all cool with the Specs..
The X1 should be able to Support Applications etc.
This phone is like a sh--.They think that they are rulling the world if they have an WM phone,and the resolution is nothing new.So shut up all.
LG & Nokia are the best.
Everything cool in tha other secs?
I also want to know what this phone can do with games & apps?
i think the i phone is great.
xperia ia a only dumy of i phone.
i notice the xperia is a slow mobile.
i am a nokia lover but tru is tru.
the i phone is the king of new mobile world.
I did say just that all along. Just look at the HTC lineup/specs etc. They even keep the by now HTC camera standard of 3.2MP - the thing is, no one believed me :( That will pour some cold water on a few SE fans :) Nevertheless HTC is nice all by itself. I doubt they will sell more devices just because of the SE logo. Last year rumor was, SE wanted to put their logo on a N95 look alike and share profits. Nokia promptly declined the offer. I hope HTC won't be sorry by going with SE on this one.
This phone is very good. But stil can you run 3D games or applications on this phone?
