When it comes to mending damaged hair, there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. And I for one feel that to achieve those gram worthy strong, healthy locks it's essential to address the reasons behind worn out tresses. From using too many heat tools and chemical treatments, to living an erratic lifestyle, along with our weather – not to mention the pollution, all tend to make my hair vulnerable to damage. To top that, there is nothing more heartbreaking than to see warning signs of damage: split ends, breakage, shorter hair at the roots, dullness and brittle ends.
Fight hard to manage locks with BBLUNT's Repair Remedy Shampoo with a smoothening formula. For that much desired shiny, soft and irresistibly smooth feel, just wet your hair, take one pump then spread it evenly by massaging it into your scalp and eventually rinse thoroughly.
After you've finished shampooing, remove the excess water then apply the conditioner evenly from mid-lengths to ends (avoid your scalp), and leave it for 3 minutes. Not only will BBLUNT's Repair Remedy Conditioner nourish your strands inside out but it will also lock in hydration for a fresh out of salon finish.
A worthy addition, it works best on towel dried hair and can without a shadow of doubt help you win over your hair woes. Take a coin-sized amount of the BBLUNT Repair Remedy Leave-In Cream in your palm, apply evenly by paying attention to mid-lengths and ends then watch how it freezes your hairstyle in place leaving it looking glossy.
Long story short, such products are right up my alley only because they are highly effective while taming my troublesome hair and reviving strands from inside out.

Q: Are automorphisms of abelian varieties detected by the formal group? Let $A$ be an abelian variety of dimension $g$ over an algebraically closed field $k$.
Assume $k$ has characteristic $p$ and denote by $A(p)$ the $p$-divisible group of dimension $g$ associated with $A$. Then the map
$$ End(A) \to End(A(p)) $$
is injective and, if $k = \overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$, even a bijection after $p$-completion (by a theorem of Tate). In particular, every automorphism of $A$ inducing the identity on the p-divisible group is already the identity.
In dimension $1$, i.e. for elliptic curves something significantly stronger is true. Every automorphism of an elliptic curve inducing the identitiy on the formal group is the identity. Indeed, the following stronger statement is true and proven in Notes by Charles Rezk, Proposition 12.2: A choice of coordinate of the formal group up to terms of order 5 is equivalent to the choice of Weierstrass coordinates (and no non-trivial automorphism fixes the Weierstrass coordinates).

Is it true in general that automorphisms of abelian varieties are detected by the formal group in the sense that every automorphism of an abelian variety $A$ inducing the identity on the formal group of $A$ is already the identity?

Note that the corresponding result is clearly true if $k=\mathbb{C}$ as already every automorphism fixing the Lie algebra is the identity.
In some situations, it is possible to assign to an abelian variety $A$ of dimension $g$ a $1$-dimensional instead of a $g$-dimensional formal group/$p$-divisible group. To that purpose assume (as in the statement of a PEL-Shimura moduli problem):

*

*A is ($\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$)-principally polarized.

*For a quadratic imaginary extension $F$ of $\mathbb{Q}$, we have a morphism $\mathcal{O}_F \to End(A)$ such that complex conjugation is sent to the Rosatti involution.

*$p$ splits in $F$ so that $\mathcal{O}_F \otimes \mathbb{Z}_p \cong \mathbb{Z}_p\times \mathbb{Z}_p$. Denote a corresponding non-trivial idempotent in $\mathcal{O}_F \otimes \mathbb{Z}_p$ by $e$.

*eA(p) is $1$-dimensional.

Also here it is true that every automorphism of $A$, fixing the polarization and the endomorphism structure, that induces the identity on $eA(p)$ is already the identity.

Is it true in the situation above that every automorphism of $A$, fixing the polarization and the endomorphism structure, that induces the identity on the formal group of $eA(p)$ is already the identity?

...but vintage ponchos were the order of the day. 'Hanging'* with the girls this morning, running errands in the afternoon.
Hmm...should do this more often. I actually forget that sometimes I change clothes 3 times a day! Yes I know that sounds excessive and high maintenance and no, I'm not Beyonce at the Oscars or in an Indian movie song.
Most days I'm either at yoga or flamenco or Taiko or some other class* then back to the office then out again, etc. ".. in the morning I had a gymnastics type class so I was wearing appropriate gear and the poncho and skirt are good throw-over items and my feet were cold! In the afternoon, I had to run some errands and meet someone I may be doing an article about. Morning gear not appropriate. Plus I was sweaty after the class so shower needed!...then at night, it was the combined birthday party for my youngest and my daughter, so I had a minor change, swapped the white poncho for a purple faux-fur collared zip-up top and closed in shoes because it had cooled down again..." taken from comment box to explain further because I am slightly embarassed by my 'hedonism'!
On another note...in my blog travels I have seen something that's bloggling my mind, so much so I had to talk about this with myself... there seems to be a prevailing fear of colour.
Time for a Vox Op. An opinion post. I've been known to have one. Stay tuned and feel free to convince me otherwise.
One of the many advantages of being old getting older is that if you keep something long enough and in good condition, eventually it becomes vintage! I have had these beautiful cherry leather Bally boots for...hmmm...ever.
...these sunglasses are not vintage but their cattitude is yes?
These are 2 of our wild ferocious rabbits that stalk the countryside (our garden) and strike fear in the hearts of....ants. They love colour.
The more I find out about you, the more I realise how AWESOME you are. I loved your response to my post about non-fashion related important things, so thank you for that!
- your sunglasses, wowwwww, I love!!!
I love ur red/pink poncho and ur wedges...u change clothes 2-3 times a day, wow!! u should take some pics of ur closet and upload it - I bet its better than Carrie's:-)....I do love color but not very bright, eye popping shades - a lot also depends on the style and cut of the outfit..
lovely Leia...I loved that post, very eloquently written and I loved how you made your point without being pushy or judgemental.
...aw shucks...thank you for such lovely words, you don't need tips, you are already so vibrant.
...as for the pics...it's all about the perspectives and angles. I took the outfit photos separately, different times of day but 'lined' them up.
You know...I think it is possible to list the bunnies on eBay...!
Hiya Sonali hon.... hahahahahahahaha!!! I made it sound so excessive and high-maintenance!! What I mean is that some days, I have to change 3 times a day.
For example, yesterday, the day of this post... in the morning I had a gymnastics type class so I was wearing appropriate gear and the poncho and skirt are good throw-over items and my feet were cold!
In the afternoon, I had to run some errands and meet someone I may be doing an article about. Morning gear not appropriate. Plus I was sweaty after the class so shower needed!
...then at night, it was the combined birthday party for my youngest and my daughter, so I had a minor change, swapped the white poncho for a purple faux-fur collared zip-up top and closed in shoes because it had cooled down again.
Didn't bother taking pics of that. Likewise on the days I have flamenco class...I do change out of my flamenco wear, same with Taiko...I don't walk around dressed like a Samurai! And yoga clothes are for the yoga studio.
...I know it sounds like hard work but for me, it's not! I am lucky that I work for myself so I have a certain amount of freedom with time but I'm old-fashioned and just plain old in a lot of ways...I like to be appropriately dressed for the occasion.
wow i love your style and the content of your posts! each one is definitely an interesting read! furthermore, do you model? you're amazing!
Krislyn hello!...thank you for your lovely words. I used to model in my my teens and twenties, which was [gulp] a long time ago. You can take the woman out of modeling but you can't take the poseur out of the model!
...but forget all that...I've just spent some time going through your blog and reading your posts [I will comment on them!]...your Berkeley post clenched my heart and the post before... you're a feminist after my own heart!! I always say to be a true feminist you have to appreciate everything that makes you female and feminine!
Thank you for visiting me. I hope to 'see' you often....and oh damn I love Bear Grylls! See those rabbits up there...their grandmother was named Bear after him. Their grandfather was called Fox...Mulder. Yes we have rabbits named after people who are named after other animals.
Hi Vinda...thank you hon, yes the sunnies are unique...need to take better pics of them because they're actually glitter encrusted frames, if you click on the pic you can get a better look.
...we had black bunnies too! Only one in this batch though, he's gone back in to the forest now but will be back.
Yes, I'm a Bikram Yoga practitioner. Cannot be without, tones me up and tunes me in and preps me for flamenco and taiko.
How exciting for you! Will you open your own studio/teach your own classes or will you join an established Pilates place? You have such graceful limbs...you're a perfect advertisement for Pilates!
You look gorgeous! I absolutely need your white poncho.
Thank you so much for your sweet comments on my blog (it's getting hard to keep up with, due to my laptop issues, unfortunately)!
3 outfits a day sounds just fine to me (especially if it includes some yoga clothes). Love your picture idea and the 'vintage' bally boots.
I SERIOUSLY LOVE YOUR BLOG... take note of the all-caps... that means I really do.
I LOVE YOU Dusk!!! You are the best! Big big hugs and kisses from Manila!
Romany...thank you honey! I am so sorry to hear that you're taking a blog-atus because of laptop woes :(... have just found your blog and adore it!
...about Joe Zee and others of his ilk, as a journalist I feel the pain but also see the pleasure. Speech is free right?
As for Tavi...I find her interesting and not unusual. I was out Cyndi Laupering Cyndi and Madonna was my inspiration when I was her age... we were all interested in the 'mainstream extreme' of fashion, my friends were all like that, our generation was. Although I was always more out there than most!
Of course we weren't dressed by Miuccia and Rei and I do wander how a 13yo can afford Miumiu et al...but...she is a prodigy, a fashion genius and if this was another industry or medium, she would perhaps be not so lambasted as she is by fashion media.
She's precocious. most teenagers are. At 11-13 we have the luxury of time to cultivate knowledge on what interests us most. For me, back then, it was super hero comic books and sci-fi.
It's a bitchy industry, these journos fight tooth and Chanel coated nail to just get a coveted invitation and here comes 13yo Tavi, a mere child with her blog popularity and blue hair and gets seated first row.
...and what's funny is that these people use awkward breastless child-like models to sell their mags and when an awkward, breastless child comes along who actually wears all the conceptual clothes that editorials spin but the buying public rarely wears...ha!
Will definitely check out 'Mad Men'... hope to see you son hon...apologies for this essay!
Hello SabineYsynopsis... how are you? I had a read of your blog and see that you are an Ashtanga yoga teacher...so of course you appreciate why I change a lot! I practise Bikram which means that I'm drenched after each session!...I need to change! Thank you for your comment!
Darling Leah... I do not have enough adjectives in one language to describe your wonderful, fabulous, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, delicious self!!!
Very cool! I love both outfits, but I especially love the mirror effect.

Wyden, Bonamici Call for Strong Action to Protect Oregon Workers and Industry from Flood of Foreign Solar Panels
Lawmakers Testify at International Trade Commission on Need to Protect U.S. Solar Manufacturing Jobs; Hillsboro's SolarWorld Threatened
Washington, D.C. – Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Suzanne Bonamici today called for a strong response to the surge of cheap solar panel imports that have devastated U.S. solar panel manufacturers.
The Oregon lawmakers testified at the U.S. International Trade Commission on the need for U.S. action to stem the tide of overproduced, dumped and subsidized solar panels from China and other nations. That overproduction has forced more than 30 U.S. solar manufacturers out of business since 2010, destroying thousands of American jobs. The trade case was originally brought by SolarWorld and California-based Suniva, two U.S. solar manufacturers threatened by a flood of cheap imports from China, Vietnam, Malaysia, and other foreign nations.
"I urge the Commission to recommend a remedy robust enough to repair the serious injury already experienced by the US solar manufacturing sector and to ensure its long-term growth and competitiveness," Wyden said. "In practical terms, that means identifying a remedy that helps to revive a domestic manufacturing sector central to our leadership in energy innovation yet long under siege. With manufacturing comes the R&D and innovation that will ensure that the next generation of solar products will be developed and manufactured in America. Our solar manufacturers, workers and their families deserve nothing less."
"The jobs lost at SolarWorld were good jobs in an important industry, one in which our nation should be leading," Bonamici said. "We have innovative entrepreneurs and workers in our country who thrive when there is fair access to the markets. Without a thoughtful and strong remedy, our few remaining domestic manufacturers will be decimated and we risk ceding the leadership in this industry to other countries. American manufacturers can compete successfully if they have a fair shot, and they can help the industry grow and prosper."
The ITC ruled on Sept. 22 that a surge in imports has seriously damaged U.S. solar manufacturers. The commission is now considering what actions should be taken to provide U.S. employers with relief from this damaging rush of imports.
Sen. Wyden and Rep. Bonamici supported trade cases in 2012 and 2014 that led to steep tariffs against illegally subsidized and dumped Chinese solar panels, however global overcapacity continues to hammer American companies. The current petition, brought under Section 201 of the Trade Act, allows for broad action against imports from any nation, to safeguard U.S. workers and employers from the current surge in imported panels.

In other words, I want to give control over the phone call back to the user. At the moment, doing SIP on Android requires a new app. TU Go requires a new app. There's no way to say "for all international calls, when I'm in the UK, use this dial-through operator". I don't have a dual-SIM Android phone, so I'm not sure if it's possible on Android to say "all calls to this person use SIM X" or "all calls to this network (defined by certain number prefixes) use SIM Y". But anyway, all these things should be possible on FirefoxOS 3. They may not be popular with carriers, because they will all save the user money. But if we are being user-centric, we should do them.
Having a unified (and optimized, beautiful, slick) UI for different telephony and messaging protocols would really be an awesome selling point. I remember my N900 that had something like this, where using the mobile network or sip was completely transparent.
Android is kind of lame in this regard. There is thousands of messaging apps, but one is worse than the other when it comes to UI and system integration.
Nit: No, Android have native sip-functionality."Settings"->"Call"->"Internet call settings". (but that was not the point of your post, I know).
Android apps like Skype or SIP applications *can* hook into the default dialer, and do. But it's not totally seemless, you just end up in the app after using the dialer.
Could be done. Put Asterisk on the phone (it already solves the routing problem), create or borrow a UI for configuring the dialing rules, then let apps supply rules as well.
The way it "works" on Android is terrible. If you've got Google Voice and another SIP dialer, then sending a call out through that other dialer requires you to answer two questions in a row. Worse, there's no actual cooperation; each app is asking you separately what you want to do, so you can send yourself back and forth between them.
Could this be done with the (not yet arrived) extension system?


The internationalization of production has increased enormously during the last decades. Simultaneously, the rate of intra-firm trade has grown rapidly. Unfortunately, research in the context of intra-firm trade is still very scarce. Although, most economists agree upon the fact that there exist solid economic as well as commercial reasons for intra-firm trade. Transactions between and within firms are the results of complex processes which are motivated by strategic and economic thoughts.
The study analyses intra-firm trade, that is the estimated one-third of world trade which is transacted between affiliated parties. As firms realize the increasing potential for integrating their operations throughout the world, they are contributing to signiflcant shifts in the patterns of international trade and industrial development. As emphasized here, international trade is inextricably linked to the growing and substantial share of transactions between affiliated parties conveyed through multinational enterprises.

John Muir called the Sierra "The Range of Light" and man what a spectacular place it is. In 2011 I set off to hike this iconic trail with two good friends, we started at Happy Isles in Yosemite Valley and spent the next 12 days walking through breathtaking beauty, granite peaks and high alpine passes. The JMT is one of the most popular hiking trails in the world, and getting a permit can be as hard if not harder than the trail itself. Some of the highlights for me were walking through Ansel Adams Wilderness south of Donahue Pass, Crossing Forester Pass the highest point on the Pacific Crest Trail and Summiting Mt Whitney in time to watch the sunrise.
The Sierras are a backpackers dream with endless stunning granite mountains, numerous lakes along the way, good fishing and great resupply points along the way like Red's Meadows and Muir Trail Ranch. If you are only going to do one long distance hike in your life, make it this one!

Spyker secures further financing of Saab deal
News, Saab
Source: Spyker Cars Europe
Spyker Cars N.V. announces today that Spyker has entered into a USD 25 million convertible loan agreement with an investment company owned by Heerema Holding Company Inc.
The USD 25 million loan has a 2 year term, an interest of Euribor + 10% and is convertible into shares at EUR 4 each. This loan secures the funding necessary to close the Saab transaction as the first USD 25 million has already been paid to GM on January 26, 2010. The convertible loan is conditional on SAAB receiving the EIB loan. On July 15 of this year a final payment of USD 24 million is due to GM. Spyker is confident that it will secure the funding for this second installment.
The European Commission approved the Swedish state guarantee for Saab. With respect to the approval of the Swedish state guarantee, competition commissioner Neelie Kroes said: "The state guarantee will contribute to the implementation of Saab's business plan without giving rise to any undue distortions of competition".
Victor Muller, Spyker's CEO said: "We are delighted that Heerema has decided to become an investor in our company. I had the privilege to work for Pieter Heerema from 1984 through 1991, initially as his counsel, later as Director of Corporate Affairs, and we have come to know each other very well as a result. It is the intention to nominate a representative of Heerema as a member of the Supervisory Board".
"The positive decision of the European Commission to approve the Swedish state guarantee is another major step towards closing of the Saab acquisition. We are grateful to the Commission of their willingness to work so hard on this decision within the limited time available."
Pieter Heerema added: "Although providing convertible loans such as this one is not in the ordinary course of our business, the positive developments of the past few months involving the SAAB brand and its sympathetic connotation, together with the worldwide support of loyal customers, dealers, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders represents a unique value. This value represents much more than money alone. We are confident that when the company's management gets the opportunity to implement the business plan we will see a good financial return on our investment as well".

Jio Rockers 2021: Top 10+ Best Legal Alternatives
3 weeks ago by Ajay Damraliya
Introduction to Jio Rockers
As teens, we watched movies and TV shows all the time. But as grew up, so did our responsibilities. We are the humans of 21st century. Our lives are fully occupied in mostly two things: work and family. Most of us work for close to 8-10 hours a day. The remainder of our time is reserved to be spent with family. Most of us are struggling to strike a balance between work and life. It's because of this reason that Scandinavian countries mandate the employees work only 4 days a week. That's right. Our race with time can often times get overwhelming. We must take short breaks to not let it affect our health.
Moreover, with the economy going downhill and unemployment trends on the rise, there is a dire shortage of disposable funds among people. Especially since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, people have spent very carefully. All of this leads to us not spending on leisure, because we must safeguard resources for our necessities.
All these facts keep us from spending on entertainment. Who does not like visiting the cinema hall and watching our favorite superstars on the big screen? But there are a lot of people who are unable to allocate enough of their income towards entertainment because of other obligations. For those who have excess resources, may just happen to be short on time. Busy schedules are very common for those who are trying to make it big in the corporate world. So should these people just not watch movies anymore?
Of course not. Most of our modern world problems have a single solution – the internet. We are here to discuss one such solution that the internet has provided us, we are referring to the website called Jio Rockers. The website provides users with all the latest movies, tv shows, and web series online for downloading as well as streaming without having to incur any cost. The website solves both problems of people because it is free of cost, and users can watch movies anytime at their convenience and in the comfort of their home.
What exactly is Jio Rockers?
Jio Rockers is an excellent source which provides a large content library for the users of the website. Users will be able to download all the content free of cost and without any limit. Well, a lot of other websites provide similar services, so what makes Jio Rockers stand out? As you read through this article, we will discuss a lot more in detail about why this website is an excellent choice for those who are looking to download movies online for free.
But first things first. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the Jio Rockers website is illegal. The website has been labelled as illegal by the government and it may be banned at any time without any prior notice to the users. The website is so labelled because it distributes content online without the authorization of those who have the rights over its distribution. Which effectively makes the entire content library of the website pirated. Not only that, the users who use such websites to obtain this pirated content, are also liable for punishment under the law. Moreover, when you visit an illegal website, there is a significant risk at which you are exposing your computer system. These websites tend to add a lot of pop-up ads which may infect your computer systems with malwares and viruses.
Okay, so with that out of the way, we would like to elaborate further on Jio Rockers. The content library available on the website is absolutely enormous. From old movies to new, Hindi movies to Tamil, TV shows and even web series are a part of its content library. The website is well updated with all the latest releases of movies being uploaded pretty much immediately following the day of release. Although the first copy that is made available for newly released movies may be a camera copy, the subsequent ones will be uploaded in high definition resolution only. The website's diverse content library also features movies in other languages such as Tamil, Hindi, English, among others. In addition, for people who prefer watching movies in their regional languages, the website has added a lot of movies which have been dubbed in vernacular languages so people who are only familiar with the regional languages have a broader choice when they are looking for movies to download.
Features of Jio Rockers
Jio Rockers' creators have outdone themselves with the features they have incorporated on the website. The features not only provide the users with ease to be able to efficiently navigate the website, but also has been able to streamline the entire process that the users have to follow whenever they are attempting to download or stream content from Jio Rockers. We have put together a short list of features of the Jio Rockers website for our readers so they are able to better understand the structure of the website and it stands in terms of quality of services as against other websites that provide more or less the same services to users for free.
Categorization is among the top features of any website that provides its users with content. Although we discuss this topic in much more detail in the next section, we would like to brief here that the website has divided its entire content library into a number of categories that are helpful to users in navigating through the massive amount of content. With help of the categories, users are able to simplify their search and save time and effort by not having to look at a bunch of irrelevant data which was screened upon selecting a particular category.
Jio Rockers has put up movies in a whole range of languages which allows users from any part of the country to download whatever type of content it is that they are looking for. The website's interface is also made in a way that supports a number of languages so if users are unable to read English, they are able to change it to any other language of their preference.
The website almost immediately puts up the newly released movies, tv shows, and web series on its library. The quality, even though at first may be camera, is later updated to the high resolutions so users never have to worry about their video quality. There are no limits on the content that can be downloaded by users from this website. Moreover, all this content can also be streamed from Jio Rockers should the users so wish to.
Jio Rockers does a commendable job of maintaining its contents' video and audio quality. The users will never have to face issues in terms of quality because the quality of video has plenty of options starting from 360p to 1080p.
Jio Rockers is a mobile-friendly website. This means that all the services that a user with a computer system is able to access, will also be available to users who use mobile phones. This is extremely beneficial in India since a large chunk of internet users in India access internet from their cellular devices.
The website also provides users with an option to download movies in a compact file size of 300mb. Using this option will help users by consuming less data and also taking up much smaller space on their storage.
Categories on Jio Rockers
Categorization is one of the most critical features of a website that hosts a giant content library. Such a huge amount of content may become overwhelming for users because they will not able to make sense out of it. All mixed content ranging from English movies, Tamil movies, Hollywood movies, Bollywood movies, Old movies, New movies, would be juggled up. This might require users to invest a lot of time into finding content of their choice. That's exactly what categories aim to solve. With categorization, the users are able to screen a lot of content that would have anyways been completely irrelevant for them. Once they choose a category, they don't have to deal with contents of other categories which they are not even looking to download. We have put together a short list of categories that are available on the Jio Rockers website so our readers are able to better understand what type of categories are available on the website and that they know beforehand what they are looking for upon visiting Jio Rockers.

H.R.1472
Don't Feed the Bears Act of 2003
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mr. GALLEGLY, Elton [CA-24] (for himself and Mr. MORAN of Virginia) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Resources
A BILL
To require the adoption and enforcement of regulations to prohibit the intentional feeding of bears on Federal public lands in order to end the hunting practice known as `bear baiting' and reduce the number of dangerous interactions between people and bears.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
This Act may be cited as the `Don't Feed the Bears Act of 2003'.
SEC. 2. PROHIBITION ON FEEDING BEARS ON FEDERAL PUBLIC LANDS.
FINDINGS- Congress finds the following:
Federal land management agencies, including the Forest Service, National Park Service, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Land Management, publish and distribute materials to the public discouraging any feeding of black bears.
Even though Federal land managers are in agreement that private citizens should not provide food to bears, several Federal land management agencies do not prohibit licensed hunters from setting out food as bait for bears on Federal lands in States where baiting is permitted by State law.
A typical bait station consists of hundreds of pounds of human-scented foods, often including parts of animal carcasses, pastries, fruits, and grease, that are simply piled on the forest floor or dumped in large drums.
The foods used in a bait station are no different than the human-scented foods that a bear might find in a garbage can, dump, or campground, and after the bear hunting season ends, bait stations are often not removed.
The presence of bait stations on Federal lands allows bears to increase their food intake and results in higher birth rates, increasing bear populations.
Wildlife scientists agree that black bears are naturally wary of people, but that feeding bears human-scented foods can cause bears to lose their wariness and become emboldened in approaching people and property in search of food.
Human-fed bears cause millions of dollars in property damage every year.
Bears habituated to human food can pose a safety threat, occasionally resulting in attacks on human beings.
Bears that come into conflict with people are often labeled as nuisance animals, and are often killed as a means of protecting people and property.
When the National Park Service adopted policies to ban bear feeding and to end the practice of keeping garbage in open-air dumps, units of the National Park System experienced a dramatic decline in bear-human encounters.
A majority of the States that allow bear hunting ban baiting, and black bears can be hunted successfully by means other than baiting.
It is inconsistent for Federal land management agencies to demand that visitors to the Federal lands not feed bears, but to allow this practice by bear baiters.
The United States already prohibits baiting of migratory birds.
ENFORCEMENT OF EXISTING NPS REGULATION- The Secretary of the Interior shall enforce the regulatory prohibition, contained in section 2.2(a)(2) of title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, against the feeding of wildlife on National Park System lands to prohibit individuals from intentionally feeding bears for the purpose of enticing bears to a particular area to be hunted, a practice known as `bear baiting'.
ENFORCEMENT OF EXISTING FWS REGULATION- The Secretary of the Interior shall enforce the regulatory prohibition, contained in section 32.2(h) of title 50, Code of Federal Regulations, against bear baiting and the baiting of other wildlife on wildlife refuge areas.
ADOPTION OF REGULATIONS FOR OTHER PUBLIC LANDS-
REGULATION REQUIRED- The Secretary of the Interior, with respect to lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management, and the Secretary of Agriculture, with respect to National Forest System lands, shall each adopt and enforce a regulation to prohibit individuals from intentionally feeding bears, including feeding for the purpose of enticing bears to a particular area to be hunted, a practice known as `bear baiting'.
DEADLINE FOR ADOPTION- The regulations required by this subsection shall be issued in final form not later than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act.

How to ask for help - esther derby associates, inc.
A friend of mine is learning to ask for help.
He's a smart guy. He's been successful in the corporate world, and before that he was successful in school.
And that might be part of his difficulty. We are taught that asking for help is a *bad thing.* Asking for help is a sign of weakness or incompetence. Asking for help means you haven't been able to figure it out on your own. Asking for help = admitting failure.
Can you walk through the alternatives with me? I want to be sure I've covered the important points.
I need another option for this problem. Will you explore the situation with me and give me your opinion?
I want to check out my thinking on this. Will you play devils advocate?
I'm a little stuck on this. Will generate some additional options with me?
Can you point me to some resources [related to this one thing]?
I haven't done this before. Will you walk through my thinking with me?

I have a mac. If you want to compile any native code, I can do that for you. Also I've applied to a better connection that applies from tomorrow so that I can get 1 MB/s speed.
@SHC That's great! I might take you up on that offer. I'm going to play with Virtual Box this weekend and see if that can help for the short term, and allow me to tinker around. The only thing that really needs to be built is an installer. The actual executable is a .sh that starts up a bundled JRE and the GetDown updater. It needs to run from the user's home directory so it can copy files there and the installer should set up some links to it. That's all the windows one does right now.
I will see how I make out after this weekend and then might hit you up.
I have the same problem as Dxu1994.
Also, I have OpenGL 3.0.
Sorry about that @Zeke. I have the fix locally here but have not uploaded it. I should be ready for a major update in about a week and a half. It will include some more levels, other new gameplay features, and lots of fixes.
New this week we have added in slime creep to the blob houses. This slime grows over time and spreads out from each captured house. The effects of the slime will be to scare the humans, slow them down, and speed up the blobs that move on it. Not sure what else. It will take some playing with to see what it really should do. The main idea behind it is to have it feel like you are sliming up the town.
The slime was created by using a 'marching squares' algorithm. Each blob house is read when it is created and this adds to a list of already created blob houses. The algorithm then uses these points (the houses) and the time they were built to determine how large a circle the slime will be. This information is added to a grid on the map simply stating if it is slimed or not on each square. Then, the marching algorithm kicks in and builds the polygons.
The mesh has several animations. The first is a wobble animation in the vertex deform shader. This gives the mesh the feel that it is growing, wobbling, warping, and alive. The second animation is in the fragment shader that displays some green noise on the slime to give it a bit of a glowing and moving effect. This helps make it feel more toxic and that it should be avoided.
Great work, i love the noise.
Is it possible to gradually increase te blob size, because the sudden jump ruins the effect a bit.
Yea the jump is awkward. The way it is built now there is no way to smoothly increase the blob size. At least no easy way I can think of. If it becomes annoying I might rebuild it with another technique.
I downloaded the game but "the updater/installer" says that I have to wait 149:47?
I will see what's up with that. It is about 500mb, so it will take a little while to download anyways. But usually only around 5-10 minutes for me.
I think some simple signal that the blob is growing is going to help, like the outlines of the blob starts to flash a few seconds before they grow of the old school effect of the blob shifting between the old size and the new size a few seconds. That way they won´t just suddenly be bigger and I belive that is what makes it look "awkward". Could be worth a try cause it sounds a lot simpler than rewriting the blob growing code.
Tried to give this game another try on my new PC but still got the same shader error.
how do you currently make the blob grow?
I got this error. You said you fixed it, but then I got this error... haha. I know it is tough. Ill wait patiently.
Or I could piss and moan like an american... well I am an american. Ya, what am I thinking? GIVE ME BLOB NOW!!!
At the first screenshot there are really nice soft shadows but on other material I can't see those?

The trade sending quarterback Tarvaris Jackson to the Bills for an undisclosed draft choice is official.
The Seahawks and Bills began working on the deal over the weekend, but it was not finalized until this morning.
Jackson started 14 games last season, his only one with the Seahawks, but became expendable after the Seahawks drafted Russell Wilson and signed veteran Matt Flynn in free agency. Coach Pete Carroll announced Sunday night that Wilson has won the starting job and Flynn will serve as his backup.
"Tarvaris, all that we've ever seen from him is that he's a great competitor and a perfect guy to have on your team," Carroll said. "Because of our situation and the opportunity with the guys that we have, he deserves a chance to be playing. Buffalo came after him and I hope it's a good thing for him.
Good morning, and here's what's "out there" about the Seahawks for today, August 27, after a busy weekend that started with the team moving to 3-0 in preseason play with a 44-14 victory in Kansas City Friday night.
Last night, head coach Pete Carroll held a conference call with reporters. The biggest piece of news to come from the call was that rookie quarterback Russell Wilson will be the starter for the team's final preseason game against the Oakland Raiders, as well as the team's regular season opener against the Arizona Cardinals on Sept. 9. Carroll also announced that last year's starting quarterback Tarvaris Jackson is set to be traded to the Buffalo Bills, a move that should be finalized today. Finally, the team confirmed several transactions as they prepare to reduce the size of the roster from it's current 90-man limit to the NFL mandated 75-player maximum by Monday at 1 p.m. PT.
The staff at SportsPressNW.com has their story on Sunday's news.
Curtis Crabtree of 950 KJR AM has his report on Sunday's moves and announcements.
Sando has his thoughts on the Seahawks' Sunday transactions and comments on the scheduled trade of Tarvaris Jackson.
Tarvaris Jackson, the Seahawks' starting quarterback last season, is in the process of being traded to the Buffalo Bills, coach Pete Carroll confirmed tonight during a conference-call interview.
Jackson started 14 games in his only season with the Seahawks, after being signed in free agency. But he became expendable after the Seahawks signed Matt Flynn in free agency and then drafted Russell Wilson. Carroll announced tonight that Wilson will be the starter for the Sept. 9 regular-season opener against the Cardinals in Arizona, as well as Thursday night's preseason finale against the Raiders at CenturyLink Field. Flynn will serve as the backup.
Jackson had career-highs in attempts (450), completions (271), passing yards (3,091) and touchdown passes (14) last season, and did a lot of it despite playing the final 10 games with a torn pectoral in his throwing shoulder.
But he also had no TD passes, six interceptions and nine sacks in the final two minutes of halves, which helped prompt the club's search that led it to Wilson and Flynn.
With the Bills, Jackson is expected to compete for the backup job to Ryan Fitzpatrick. Vince Young and Tyler Thigpen have been vying for that job.
Tuesday cyber surfing: Which QB will it be at KC?
Good morning, and here's what's "out there" about the Seahawks for today, August 21.
Comments Off on Tuesday cyber surfing: Which QB will it be at KC?
Good morning, and here's what's "out there" about the Seahawks for today, August 20.
Mike Sando of ESPN.com has a look at three things from Saturday night's matchup with the Broncos, as he revisits the Seahawks quarterback competition, the addition of Terrell Owens, and a look at Denver quarterback Peyton Manning.
Good morning, and here's what's "out there" about the Seahawks for today, August 16.
Dave Boling of the Tacoma News Tribune has his notes from Wednesday's practice, "Asked to pick a story of the day, I'd say that Terrell Owens looked as if he's getting his legs under him and feeling more comfortable. He pulled in a nice completion against Richard Sherman on a little in-and-out route during one-on-one drills, and later grabbed two touchdown passes in team (2s v. 2s) from Russell Wilson. The first score reflected well on both of them; the play appeared on the verge of breaking down, but Wilson stepped up and Owens found a spot open near the back of the end zone. He also caught a long touchdown from Wilson. On the same Veteran Receiver front, Braylon Edwards had an eye-catching one-handed grab of a poorly thrown pass during skeleton drills.
At ESPN.com Damien Woody and Jerry Rice offer their opinion on how things might shake out in the Seahawks quarterback competition in this short video.
John Breech of CBSSports.com takes a stab at projecting the Seahawks' final 53-man roster.
In his Seahawks Daily, Tony Ventrella has a look at quarterback Matt Flynn, who is set to start Saturday's preseason game at the Denver Broncos, and catches up with veteran linebacker Leroy Hill and offensive tackle Russell Okung.
Seahawks long snapper Clint Gresham takes a few moments to share his camp experience with Seahawks.com.
Our fantasy writer Scott Engel of rotoexperts.com has a look at Seahawks tight ends as they relate to fantasy football in 2012.
One good start apparently deserves another, as Matt Flynn will get his second start of the preseason when the Seahawks plays the Broncos in Denver on Saturday night.
That was the word from coach Pete Carroll after today's practice, although incumbent starter Tarvaris Jackson worked as the No. 1 QB in practice and Carroll admitted he thought about going with rookie Russell Wilson as the starter this week.
Flynn completed 11 of 13 passes for 71 yards in the first half of the preseason opener against the Titans on Saturday night, while Wilson passed for one touchdown and ran for another in a second-half performance that saw him complete 12 of 16 passes for 124 yards.
The coaches used today's session as an extra practice and will begin preparing for the Broncos – with Flynn as the starter – tomorrow.

Death Claims
Probably the biggest misconception people who have been injured in a motorcycle is in thinking that just because that they are injured, the other party needs to pay them money. It's not that easy.
In order to collect on your accident, you will have to prove that the other person was negligent, that their negligence caused the accident and that the injuries you claim were directly caused by the specific accident. Simply being injured in a motorcycle accident is not enough.
Unintentional Mistakes That Can Hurt a Motorcycle Accident Case
Sometimes, a client will post stuff about their injuries on social media. The problem with that is, doing that means the other side can use all of their social media posts and document everything they did before, during or after the accident, which can open up a can of worms.
Another mistake some will make is to give far too much information to the other party's insurance company without thinking. If you're involved in an accident, you have no duty to give the other insurance company statement of any kind, especially a recorded one. Sometimes, you may say something that hurts your case, such as, "I saw that other vehicle about a minute before the accident."
To say something like that without thinking can be used against you, even if you said "a minute," but you meant a split second. As you can guess, there is a lot of difference between a split second and 'a minute.' If it had been a full minute, the defense can make the case that you had plenty of time to stop.
Another mistake is to wait to see a doctor after the accident. When you're making an injury claim, you have to be checked out by a doctor as soon as possible. There may be something for the doctor to find that isn't immediately apparent, such as internal bleeding or a hairline fracture or a number of other medical conditions that could be happening.
Many accident victims also immediately get the motorcycle repaired or totaled without taking pictures of the bike to document the damage before allowing the bike to be totaled or repaired. Often, people assume the body shop or insurance company will take pictures.
Accident victims also fail to take photos of the scene. This is important, because there may be a number of conditions present that could help your case. In Indiana, it's possible that trees or corn or soybean fields could be obstructing lines of vision, which can sometimes be a really important fact in the case.
If you're in an accident in July or August when the corn is pretty high, but you don't hire me until January, obviously if I go to the scene to take photos, it won't look the same, because the trees are bare and there are no corn stalks. It's important to document the scene at the time of the accident.
Sometimes, a client won't document their injuries, some of which may heal over the course of six months. Without photos of the injuries immediately after the accident, the insurance adjuster, the judge or the jury may not fully understand what you went through. It's important to document all of your injuries, including bruises, cuts and scrapes because those injuries heal and you know a picture is worth a thousand words.
If I haven't Hired an Attorney Yet, What Should I Say to the Other Party's Insurance Company?
First, don't tell them that you have a lawyer if you don't, because that's a lie. Instead, tell them you're thinking about hiring a lawyer. Then, you should be quiet and not give a sworn or recorded statement to the other insurance company, because nothing good can comes from these statements. If you plan to go ahead without an attorney, explain that you're uncomfortable giving a sworn statement, but if they want you to discuss the incident or injuries without informally, you will. But never a sworn or recorded statement.

Q1. Consider the following statements with respect to the formation of aurora
The charged particles ejected from the sun interact with different gases in the atmosphere, causing a display of light in the sky, known as an aurora.
It is visible only from the northern part of the globe and are seen from the US (Alaska), Canada, Iceland, Greenland, Norway, Sweden and Finland.
Which of the above statement/s is/are correct? a) 1 only
b) 2 only
c) Both 1 and 2
d) Neither 1 nor 2
Solution : a)
Explanation :-
About an aurora:
• Charged particles ejected: Auroras occur when charged particles ejected from the Sun's surface – called the solar wind, enter the Earth's atmosphere.
• Disrupts the magnetosphere: While flowing toward Earth, the fast moving solar wind carries with it the Sun's magnetic field, which disrupts the magnetosphere – the region of space around Earth in which the magnetic field of our planet is dominant.
• Interaction between the two magnetic fields: When the Sun's magnetic field approaches Earth, the protective magnetic field radiating from our planet's poles deflects the former, thus shielding life on Earth.
o However, the protective fields couple together to form funnels, through which charged solar wind particles are able to stream down to the poles.
• Display of aurora: The charged particles interact with different gases in the atmosphere, causing a display of light in the sky. This display, known as an aurora, is seen from the Earth's high latitude regions and is active all year round. o Aurora borealis or Northern Lights: In the northern part, the polar lights are called aurora borealis or Northern Lights, and are seen from the US (Alaska), Canada, Iceland, Greenland, Norway, Sweden and Finland. o Aurora australis or southern lights: In the south, they are called aurora australis or southern lights, and are visible from high latitudes in Antarctica, Chile, Argentina, New Zealand and Australia.

Solution : b)
RakhiGarhi (Rakhi Shahpur + Rakhi Khas), is a village in Hisar District in the state of Haryana in India, situated 150 kilometers to the northwest of Delhi.
• The Archaeological remains were first found in 1963 at Rakhigarhi however the first major excavation at
Rakhigarhi was carried out for three winters in 19971999.
• It is the site of a pre-Indus Valley Civilisation
settlement going back to about 6500 BCE.
• Later, it was also part of the mature Indus Valley Civilisation, dating to 2600-1900 BCE.
• Among the findings, which indicate both early and mature Harappan phases, were a 4,600-year-old female skeleton, fortification and bricks.
• The site is located some 27 km from the seasonal Ghaggar river
• In May 2012, the Global Heritage Fund declared Rakhigarhi one of the 10 most endangered heritage sites in Asia.
Q4. Consider the following statements in context of the Better Than Cash Alliance (BTCA):
It is committed to accelerate the transition from cash to digital payments to advance the goals of Paris Climate deal, specifically.

Q5. Recently which of the following states approved bills that propose death penalty for heinous cases of rape, acid attack and child abuse as a part of SHAKTI act? a) Odisha
b) Haryana
c) Uttar Pradesh
d) Maharashtra
In a bid to curb crimes against women and children in Maharashtra, the state cabinet approved two draft bills that propose death penalty for heinous cases of rape, acid attack and child abuse.
The two interconnected bills, which will be tabled in the winter session of the state legislature as part of the Shakti Act, are the Maharashtra Shakti Criminal Law (Maharashtra Amendment) Act 2020 and the Special Court and Machinery for Implementation of Maharashtra Shakti Criminal Law 2020. Hence option (d) is correct.
Drafted on the lines of the Disha Act framed by Andhra Pradesh, they seek to amend relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), Criminal Procedural Code (CrPC) and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act. The bills also have provisions to increase the quantum of punishment, including life term, cover new categories of crimes, and propose a mechanism for speedy trials. The media is not allowed to report the name of a rape victim. The proposed
Acts will provide similar protection to victims of molestation and even acid attack. The draft bills propose to amend IPC Section 376 (rape) to increase the quantum of punishment to life term or death penalty in heinous cases where there's adequate conclusive evidence or exemplary punishment is warranted.
Q6. With respect to "Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Bill (2020)", consider the following statements:
Terming cow slaughter as a cognizable offence, violators can attract three to seven years of imprisonment.
Police officers ranked sub-inspector and above or a competent authority will have the power to search premises.
Which of the above given statements is/are correct? a) 1 only
The BJP-led government in Karnataka passed the Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Bill (2020) in the Assembly on December 9 amid strong opposition from the Congress and the Janata Dal (Secular).
The Bill envisages a ban on all forms of cattle slaughter and stringent punishment for offenders. While 'beef' is defined as the flesh of cattle in any form, the word 'cattle' is defined as "cow, calf of a cow and bull, bullock, and he or she buffalo below the age of thirteen years". The Bill also terms shelters established for the protection and preservation of cattle registered with the Department of Animal Husbandry and Fisheries as 'gau shalas'.
Hence Statement 2 is correct: Police officers ranked sub-inspector and above or a competent authority will have the power to search premises and seize cattle and materials used or intended to use to commit the offence.
Hence Statement 1 is correct: Terming cow slaughter as a cognizable offence, violators can attract three to seven years of imprisonment. While a penalty between Rs 50,000 and Rs 5 lakh can be levied for the first offence, second and subsequent offences can attract penalties ranging between Rs 1 lakh and Rs 10 lakh.
Q7. "Ischaemumjanarthanamii" is a variety of which of the following species? a) Butterfly
b) Grass
c) Archaea
d) Mangroves
A new species of Indian Muraingrasses (Genus Ischaemum) known for their ecological and economic importance, such as fodder, have been spotted by scientists in Goa in the Western Ghats, one of the four global biodiversity hotspots of India. Hence option (b) is correct.
Agharkar Research Institute (ARI), Pune, an autonomous institute of the Department of
Science &Technology, discovered a novel species named Ischaemumjanarthanamii from plateaus of Western Ghats of Goa. The species was named Ischaemumjanarthanamii in honour of Prof. M. K. Janarthanam, Professor of Botany, Goa University, for his contribution to the Indian grass taxonomy and documentation of the floristic diversity of Goa state. Ischaemumjanarthanamii grows on low altitude lateritic plateaus in the outskirts of Bhagwan Mahavir National Park, Goa. The species has adapted to survive harsh conditions, low nutrient availability, and blossoms every monsoon.

It is a platform for ASEAN and its eight Dialogue Partners to strengthen security and defence cooperation for peace, stability, and development in the region. It was established in 2010. Hence Statement 2 is incorrect: Members: The ADMM-Plus comprises the ten ASEAN countries as well as Australia, China, Japan, India, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Russia and the United States.
Q9. Recently, Prime Minister greeted the people of which of the following countries on the festival of Chag Hanukkah Sameach?
a) Sri Lanka
b) Australia
c) Qatar
d) Israel
Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted the people of Israel on the festival of Chag Hanukkah Sameach.
Hanukkah is also known as Chanukah. It is an eight-day Jewish celebration that marks the rededication during the second century BC of the Second Temple in Jerusalem, where according to legend, Jews had risen up against their Greek-Syrian oppressors in the Maccabean Revolt. Hence option (d) is correct.
Q10. With respect to "New Parliament Building", which of the following pairs is/are correctly matched?
Parliament Chambers Themes
Lok Sabha the national bird (peacock)
Rajya Sabha the national flower (lotus)
Central lounge the national tree (banyan)
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
a) 1 only
b) 1 and 3 only
c) 2 and 3 only
d) 1, 2 and 3
Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone of the New Parliament Building. It will be the highlight of the ambitious ₹ 20,000 crore Central Vista project that PM Modi said will become "a symbol of a new and self-reliant India".
The four-story building will be triangular and its interiors will have three national symbols – the lotus, the peacock and the banyan tree – as its themes. The triangular shape of the new parliament was a reference to "sacred geometries in various religions and cultures of India". In the Lok Sabha chamber, the national bird (peacock) will be the theme. In the Rajya Sabha the national flower (lotus) and in the central lounge the national tree (banyan) will be the theme. Hence option (d) is correct.
The parliament building alone will cost an estimated ₹ 971 crore and will, the government hopes, be ready before India's 75th Independence Day (in 2022). However, construction cannot yet begin as a legal challenge is pending in the Supreme Court.To be constructed by Tata Projects Ltd, the new parliament building will overlook the old – which was built nearly 100 years ago at a cost of ₹ 83 lakh and will be turned into a museum.The new Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha halls will have increased seating capacities (888 and 384 seats, respectively) in anticipation of an expanded Parliament; a 25-year-old freeze on increasing state-wise distribution of seats ends in 2026. In addition, seating in the Lok Sabha hall can be expanded to 1,272 to host joint sessions. Dholpur stone will be the primary construction material (as it was with the current building) and red granite may replace red sandstone in some interior sections. The building will be equipped with modern audio-visual communication systems. The new parliament will also be fully wheelchair- and disabled-access friendly.

New South Classics: Le Beau Manoir "B"
French architecture has an elegant simplicity that is carried through every detail. The steep 16/12 pitch to the roofs with their graceful kick-out at the base, the flat arched curved top of the tall casement windows, and details such as copper finials and clay chimney pots make this style distinctive.
Like Le Beau Manoir, our Le Beau Manoir "B" attempts to emulate the same design elegance and simplicity of the traditional French Country cottage, while offering surprising elegance inside with a plan designed around today's lifestyles. This plan goes a step further with added space and begins to take on a typical chateauesque "compound" look with its out buildings and wings that create a very private outdoor space for comfortable living off the major living areas of the house.
A small, welcoming vestibule greets visitors to the Beau Manoir "B" before opening into a lovely stone floored foyer. Two steps below to the right, a stately great room with fireplace flanked by a wall of book shelves looks through an arched oprning to a bright, airy sun room with high, beamed ceiling beyond. The high, vaulted ceiling of the great room is punctuated by a tall front dormer with leaded glass in a diamond pattern that allows the sun to stream in below. Rough-hewn rafters add character and scale.
To the left of the foyer, the luxurious master suite features its own fireplace, built in shelving, his and her's walk in closets and a sumptuous bath with tub and large shower. Its location to the front of the house, off the foyer assure privacy and quiet. The dining room opens two steps above the great room and is open to both it and the generous kitchen with entertaining island, eating bar and fireplace!
The stairs wind to the second floor where they overlook the foyer below with a vaulted ceiling and small dormer. The two matching bedrooms above share a bath with private sinks and generous walk-in closets. Each has a large bay of casement windows at one end and nine foot ceilings.
Come home to Le Beau Manoir!
"I believe that this house would be one of your very best and should be on the cover of a magazine!"

Inside clear water, I saw a light.
First vocal creation of my catalog. Originally created to use it during the mass in Sant Medir's Church of the Barcelona district of Sants, where they let me practice on his organ where I also established a strong friendship with his chaplain, Bigordà, and with the whole congregation.
For this reason I played for many years in the midnight mass, on Christmas eve, and so I created this song for this congregation, which has had much success and has been sung for a long time during regular mass.
It was in this Church where I offered my first piano concert with own repertoire, specifically the 4th of March, 1987.
Around the same time, a good friends of mine y parishioner of Sant Medir, Xavier and Pilar, invited me to interpret the song in his wedding at the Church of Montserrat, and for this reason I played the organ in the catalan basilica of Montserrat, an honor, therefore the fact to play in Montserrat, as especially because two friends decided join their lifes using my music.
Idealistic song and filled of positivity, a song of hope and and love.

These days it has become extremely difficult to find a Cell Phone company that is not offering an unlimited data plan. Each plan is loaded with all kinds of caveats. For example, Verizon guarantees full-speed 4G LTE for the first 22GB of data each billing period. T-Mobile offers free text and data to its customers who travel in certain international countries. With all this happening around us, why then would anyone still have a limited data plan?
If you happen to be one of what I call "Legacy" customers who still has limited data plan, the folks at CNET.com have come up with seven ideas that can help some (especially) IPhone users reduce their data usage.
First, recognize the data consuming apps on your phone and restrict use when not needed.
You can prevent iTunes and the App Store from downloading music, movies, apps, and so on when you are away from a Wi-Fi signal. To do so, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store and toggle off Use Cellular Data. Tap this to prevent iTunes from using your cellular data for automatic downloads.
2. Disable background app refresh. IOS apps can update in the background, grabbing new content as they sit idle so they can show you the latest news when you return to them. Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh in order to turn this setting off completely. You can also go the a la carte route from the list and choose which apps update in the background. Pick and choose the apps that may use data in the background of your phone, or turn them all off.
Go to Settings > Cellular and you can see how much data you've used in the current billing period and below that you'll see a list of your apps. Under each app's name is the amount of data it has used for the current billing period. You can toggle off any app that you think is eating more than its fair share.
Wi-Fi Assist is a great feature where your iPhone hands off a weak Wi-Fi signal to your cellular network to prevent pages from loading slowly (or not at all) as it clings to the last remnants of a Wi-Fi signal. If you sit on the edge of a Wi-Fi network at work, say, then your cellular network may be assisting more than you'd like and running up data charges.
Streaming music or podcasts for long stretches when you are away from Wi-Fi can quickly add to your data usage. Most music and podcast apps (like Spotify, and Apple Music) let you restrict streaming to Wi-Fi only, which will then force you into the habit of downloading playlists or podcasts before playing them instead of streaming them over cellular data. Let's look at Apple Music and Apple's Podcasts apps as examples.
For Apple Music, go to Settings > Music. In the Streaming & Downloads section, you'll see two settings if the first one is enabled. The first, Use Cellular Data, lets you disable streaming via a cellular connection entirely. If that's too drastic a measure for you, then you can leave that setting enabled and turn off High Quality on Cellular to stream songs at a lower bitrate when you aren't on Wi-Fi.
For the Podcasts app, go to Settings > Podcasts and turn off Cellular Data. You can also enable "Only -Download on Wi-Fi" to prevent podcast downloads from adding to your data usage.
Check to see how frequently your email account is set to fetch new mail — the less frequently it fetches mail, the less data (and battery) you'll use. Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts > Fetch New Data. First, make sure Push is turned off if you want to save data and don't need new emails pushed to you constantly. Next, see what the schedule is for Fetch at the bottom of the screen. If you choose manually, then the Mail app will check for new email only when you open the app. Changing your Fetch schedule will not only save data, it may also save your phone's battery life.
You can queue up articles while you're using Wi-Fi to read later when you're on a cellular connection or out of range completely. When you add a page to Safari's Reading List, Safari downloads it for offline viewing. To add an article to the Reading List, tap the Share button at the center of the bottom navigation bar and then tap Add to Reading List. If you use iCloud, then it will share your Reading List with your other iOS devices, but you can stop it from sharing via a cellular connection by going to Settings > Safari and scrolling down to the bottom and toggling off Use Cellular Data for the Reading List feature.
Let me add an eight way to save data – become really familiar with the services offered (free) by Facebook, Google and other up-starters in the tech industry. They own apps like Messenger, Imo, WhatsApp, etc. that can help save on your phone bill. Also, note that most at home internet/cable providers i.e. Verizon and Xfinity now offer hotspots with free unlimited connections to their customers at locations away from home.
