Jagulars have yet to actually appear in any Disney adaptations, so it is still unknown whether they are real. Small short for Very Small Beetle is the subject of a search that Rabbit organizes to find him. Shepard, who also worked at Punch, published later in Though intending to give Eeyore a pot of honey for his birthday, Pooh can not resist eating the honey on his way to deliver the present, and so instead gives Eeyore "a useful pot to put things in".
Rabbit Main article: Rabbit Rabbit is friendly, but irritable. In the s, Agnes Brush created the first plush dolls with Pooh in his red shirt. Winnie-the-Pooh is fond of his food and expects to receive a snack whenever he visits a friend. Milne was unique as a writer, because while others wrote about the harsh realities of life, Milne created a whimsical reality full of friendship and laughter. Shepard's sketches of pine trees and other forest scenes are held at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Some Heffalumps are villainous creatures and some are genuinely good.
Anyway, I had been home for lunch and was on my way back to school for the afternoon session. Smallest-of-All, or S. Though intending to give Eeyore a pot of honey for his birthday, Pooh can not resist eating the honey on his way to deliver the present, and so instead gives Eeyore "a useful pot to put things in". At the age of 31, Milne married Daphne de Selincourt, a 23 year old pretty, affluent women. She also has a sense of humor, as revealed in chapter seven of Winnie-the-Pooh when Rabbit connives to kidnap Rooleaving Piglet in his place; Kanga pretends not to notice that Piglet is not Roo and proceeds to give him Roo 's usual bath, much to Piglet's dismay.

Even though the cartoon character was created almost a century ago, Winnie the Pooh is still loved by millions of fans all over the world. His kind-heartedness means he goes out of The Poems and Hums of Winnie-the-Pooh book way to be friendly to Eeyore, visiting him and bringing him a birthday present and building him a house, despite receiving mostly disdain from Eeyore in return.
You have to go to them sometimes. She is protective over Roo, almost obsessively, and treats him with kind words and gentle discipline.
I could write a book a good deal longer than Winnie-the-Pooh continuing in that vein, but it's useful to know where we are starting from if we want to get somewhere. The first sentence is told by a third person narrator. His grandfather also appears. Christopher's autobiography covers several books but the most fascinating one is the first one which The Poems and Hums of Winnie-the-Pooh book his childhood.
This reductive view of writing that we've all heard is often followed at parties by 'I'd write a book if I had time. Pooh's fondness for honey is the cause of many difficulties. This gives the reader two potential points of contact with Eeyore. Here we splay them, pin them open and take a good look inside.
He's not looking at us. Milne named the character Winnie-the-Pooh after a teddy bear owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milneon whom the character Christopher Robin was based. The other characters were based on his son's stuffed dolls.
Shepard's illustrations for the Winnie-the-Pooh books were directly inspired by the distinctive landscape of Ashdown Forest, with its high, open heathlands of heather, gorse, bracken and silver birch punctuated by hilltop clumps of pine trees.
This is inspired by A A Milne's books and includes some of the events and words which appear in the four books Milne wrote massaged into words of wisdom to fit the idea of an instruction book.
Kanga's voice is rarely heard: 'she got cross with Owl and said that his house was a Disgrace, all damp and dirty and quite time it did tumble down. Originally, he was intended to replace Piglet, but he later became his own character.
Writers like to write about writing, and there's quite a bit of it in Winnie-the-Pooh. Woozles do not appear in the Disney adaptations nearly as often as Heffalumps do and, unlike Heffalumps, always attempt to act as villains, with Wooster being the only one to change his mind on this.

Alderaan
This article is about the fictional Star Wars planet. For the disused asterism, see Al-Dhira'. For other uses, see Alderaan (disambiguation).
Not to be confused with Aldebaran or alderman.
Alderaan is a fictional planet featured in the Star Wars franchise. It is blue-green in appearance, depicted as a terrestrial planet with humanoid inhabitants, and characterized by a peaceful culture. It is the home planet of Princess Leia Organa, one of the lead characters in the film series. In the original 1977 film, Alderaan is destroyed by the Death Star super laser.[1]

The destruction of Alderaan is considered by some as an artistic depiction of the danger of nuclear weapons during the Cold War[2] and some claim it is used as a pop-culture example of inadequate political and military action leading to negative effects.[3][4]
DepictionEdit
Early drafts of the Star Wars story include references to at least two planets which later evolved into the concept of Alderaan. Star Wars author George Lucas included a planet called Alderaan in early treatments; in The Star Wars (1973), Alderaan is a city-planet and the capital planet of the galaxy (prefiguring the planet Coruscant which later featured in the films). The draft script opens with a scene in which an "eerie blue-green" planet called Aquilae is threatened by an armed space fortress.[5]
In Lucas's 1975 draft, Adventures of the Starkiller as taken from the Journal of the Whills, Saga I: The Star Wars, the capital planet of Alderaan is described as a floating city in the clouds, "suspended in a sea of cirrus methane". A planet described in Lucas's draft script as being "under siege by the Imperial Legions of Alderaan" and which is later destroyed is named as Ogana Major.[6][7] Early sketches commissioned by Lucas from conceptual illustrator Ralph McQuarrie show a design which very closely resembles Cloud City, as featured in the later sequel, The Empire Strikes Back.[8] In Lucas's third draft, the Imperial City of Alderaan has become the home world of the Sith Lords, and Darth Vader holds Princess Leia captive here. Lucas continued to hone his script, aided by screenwriters Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz; names of planets and characters were revised and the narrative was improved, and by the fourth draft, scenes on the Imperial capital planet had been moved to a space station called the Death Star and the peaceful world destroyed by the Empire had taken the name Alderaan.[9]
The on-screen depictions of Alderaan in the Star Wars films are scant; the distant planet is seen momentarily in Star Wars (1977) prior to its destruction, and in Revenge of the Sith (2005) a short scene shows a city amid a snow-covered, mountainous landscape.
FilmEdit

Jimmy Smits, who played Alderaan royal and adopted father of Leia, Bail Organa
Alderaan was originally featured in the first film, Star Wars (later retitled Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope), released in 1977. The opening scene depicts the capture of a small spaceship from Alderaan, the Tantive IV, by the Galactic Empire, and introduces the character of Princess Leia Organa, a princess of the Royal House of Alderaan who is played by Carrie Fisher.
Alderaan appears in a later scene in the film, but is only shown on-screen in a distant view from space as the Empire's gigantic space station, the Death Star, moves into orbit around the planet. The battle station's commander, the Grand Moff Tarkin (Peter Cushing) orders the Death Star's superweapon to be fired at the planet. Alderaan explodes instantly in a ball of fire. It is later shown that the shattered planet has been reduced to a cloud of asteroids as the Millennium Falcon spaceship attempts to visit the planet.[1]
The destruction of Alderaan meant that it was not depicted in subsequent Star Wars films until the series of prequel films was produced. The planet made its first on-screen appearance since 1977 in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005), appearing briefly at the end of the film. The adopted father of Princess Leia, Bail Organa (Jimmy Smits) is seen piloting a starship to the planet's surface, which is shown as a mountainous, alpine region covered in snow. Landing his ship in a citadel among the mountains, he brings the newborn Princess Leia into his royal palace. The backdrop for these scenes was created by compositing landscape footage of Grindelwald in Switzerland with CGI images of the city.[10]
The planet is not featured in the 2016 film Rogue One, but the character Bail Organa makes an appearance, stating that he will return to Alderaan to wait for his daughter, Leia, to bring the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. This precedes the narrative of the 1977 film, A New Hope.[11]
In an episode of the animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars[1] entitled "Assassin", Ahsoka Tano has premonitions of Padmé's death on Alderaan.
ComicsEdit
The comic series Star Wars: Princess Leia (2015) deals with Princess Leia and Evan (a female rebel pilot also native from Alderaan), rescuing survivors from Alderaan's destruction. It also features a brief flashback to Leia's childhood on the planet and her relationship with her adoptive father Senator Bail Organa.[12]
LegendsEdit
Alderaan is mentioned frequently and also serves as a location in several works in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, the collection of books, comics and other material considered outside official canon, now branded Star Wars Legends. In various stories, Alderaan is presented as the home of the characters Tycho Celchu, and of Ulic Qel Droma who fought in the Great Sith War in 4000 BBY.[a] During the fall of the Empire, New Alderaan was named after Alderaan for the 60,000 survivors to start rebuilding the beauty of the original planet.[citation needed] It was also said that the planet was colonized just after the formation of the Rakatan Infinite Empire.
NovelsEdit
In Michael A. Stackpole's 1998 novel, I, Jedi, Alderaan features as the sanctuary of the Caamasi when their home world of Caamas is devastated by the Galactic Empire.
Alderaan is featured in a 1991 role-playing game, Graveyard of Alderaan (part of Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game). It describes how, after the Clone Wars, Alderaan's massive war machine was dismantled, and the weapons were placed aboard an armory warship called Another Chance. The ship was programmed to continually jump through hyperspace until called home by the Alderanian Council.
Radio dramaEdit
The 1981 NPR/BBC radio drama adaptation of Star Wars features scenes set on Alderaan, in which Princess Leia discusses her mission to acquire the Death Star plans from agents of the Rebel Alliance with her father, Bail Organa (Prestor Organa). In a later scene, she is confronted by the Imperial commander Lord Tion and accused of treason.[13][14]
Alderaan (Core Worlds) illustrated on a map of the fictional Star Wars galaxy
In Alan Dean Foster's 1976 novelization of the original film, Alderaan is described as a "small green gem of a world".[15]
The planet appears more substantially in Star Wars reference guides to fictional locations, such as Kevin J. Anderson's The Illustrated Star Wars Universe (1995) and Wallace, Kolins and McKinney's Star Wars: The Essential Guide to Planets and Moons (1998). According to these books, Alderaan is covered by wild grasslands, plains, forests and mountain ranges.[16][17] The planet has no ocean, but has a semi-frozen polar sea, and thousands of lakes and rivers.[18] It is rich in biodiversity, populated by a wide variety of flora and fauna, such as the nerf and the thranta.[19] Human life on the planet is evidenced by a number of cities, built to harmonize with the natural environment such as on canyon walls, on stilts along the shoreline or under the polar ice.[16] The capital city, Aldera, has been built on a small island in the center of a caldera.[20][17] The Alderaanian people value arts and education highly,[16] and place high importance on their participation in the Galactic (later Imperial) Senate and the promotion of peace through demilitarization.[17] The largely democratic society is formed as hereditary constitutional monarchy, ruled by the King or Queen of Alderaan from the Royal House of Antilles and later, due to marriage, the House of Organa.[17] The planetary government is the High Council of Alderaan, presided over by a First Chairman and Viceroy.

This is the story of the Transfiguration. In Luke's version, it is clear that Jesus' transfiguration into a shining figure is not about his holiness but about his martyrdom -- his "exodus," literally -- his willingness to give his life. In the midst of this experience, so confusing even to Jesus' closest companions, the message from God is clear: LISTEN TO HIM! As we prepare for Lent, how do we listen to Jesus in our real, 21st Century lives?

AUSTIN, TEXAS —Mayor Steve Adler proclaimed Austin's fifth annual Reuse Day during City Council's Oct. 19 meeting. With this proclamation, the City of Austin demonstrates its local commitment to the reuse sector and National Reuse Day, a nationally recognized day dedicated to encouraging the purchase, use, or donation of reusable, reclaimed and remanufactured products.
In celebration of Reuse Day, Austin encourages all residents, businesses and organizations to seek out reuse opportunities through buying reused, repurposed and upcycled items, or repairing, sharing and renting. Austinites can easily find these opportunities through the Shop Zero Waste initiative, which lists local businesses that sell recycled or reused items or offer repair or sharing services. Prospective customers can visit LocallyAustin.org to find these businesses or look for the Shop Zero Waste decal in storefronts.
Soon, Austin residents will also have an easy way to find new homes for their unwanted items. The Austin Reuse Directory, a comprehensive listing of local donation and resale options, will go live in early November. Sign up to be notified of the launch athttp://austinreusedirectory.com.
The City also supports reuse through its Recycle and Reuse Drop-Off Center and the Austin Materials Marketplace and through events like Thursday's Feeding The 5,000 which rescued 700 pounds of food that would otherwise have been sent to landfills.
Reuse is an important component of Austin's overall Zero Waste strategy, which sets a goal of 25,000 tons of diversion through reuse by 2030.
Austin Resource Recovery provides a wide range of services designed to transform waste into resources while keeping our community clean. Services include curbside collection of recycling, trash, yard trimmings and large brush and bulk items; street sweeping; dead animal collection; household hazardous waste disposal and recycling; and outreach and education. In December 2011, the Austin City Council approved the Austin Resource Recovery Master Plan, which is the City's road map to Zero Waste. The City of Austin is committed to reducing the amount of waste sent to area landfills by 90 percent by 2040 or sooner.

420 with CNW — Experts Include Hemp Among Fabric Options for Sensitive Skin
Cannabis News Wire, Media Partners
This post is presented by our media partner Cannabis News Wire
Hemp is one of the most versatile crops available. Outlawed for centuries because of its close relation to the ever-controversial marijuana, industrial hemp recently became legal when Congress passed the 2018 farm bill. The legislation allowed the cultivation and sale of industrial hemp and its derivatives as long as they contained less than 0.3% THC, the chemical in marijuana that makes users feel "high." Since then, hemp has grown in popularity due to the alleged medical abilities of a chemical compound called CBD.
But while plenty of people know about CBD and its potential health benefits, not many are aware of the fact that hemp is an excellent fabric. Long before cannabis was outlawed and the drug war wreaked havoc across America, people were using fabric spun from hemp to make clothes, flags and even sails. Now that industrial hemp is no longer outlawed, hemp fabrics are making a comeback. With a lot of clothes on the market made of fabrics that are uncomfortable and irritate the skin, this couldn't have come at a better time.
Generally, hemp is a lightweight, breathable durable fabric. Thanks to its high durability and absorbency, hemp can also make good towels though it isn't as soft as high thread count cotton. Regardless, most experts agree that it is still superior to plenty of the synthetic fabrics on the market. Ajoy K Sarkar, a professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology, says natural fabrics such as hemp, cotton, cashmere, silk, linen and those made from wood pulp are the most skin friendly. As long as a fiber has good conductivity and wicking properties, which hemp does, it will be ideal for people with skin conditions.
Synthetic fibers such as acrylics, polyester, nylon and rayon, can have a negative effect on people with skin conditions such as dermatitis and eczema. These fabrics tend to be hydrophobic and trap moisture that can irritate the skin, unlike hemp which has water-wicking properties. If you have a skin condition, you should keep an eye on the fabrics your clothes are made of to avoid exacerbating the condition. As Sakar says, natural fibers would be the better option.
You may want to avoid natural fibers such as wool during the winter because these fibers can also result in skin reactions and make atopic dermatitis worse, he says. Fortunately, you can wear breathable fabrics such as cotton or hemp underneath wool and other synthetic fibers to keep warm and comfortable during the winter.
Fortunately for people with skin issues, many companies such as Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) now make hemp textiles so access to high-quality fabrics is no longer limited.

24 May 2011 – Republic of Ireland v Northern Ireland
© AMA SPORTS PHOTO AGENCY
So the Barclays Premier League is over. Manchester United won their 19th crown. However that does not mean the season is over and my work is done. Yesterday Manchester United youth team won the FA Youth Cup and tonight the first team played Juventus in the Gary Neville Testimonial before the small matter of deciding who would win the 2011 UEFA Champions League Final against FC Barcelona on Saturday night. (It does not seem 5 minutes since I was writing the blog in Madrid following Inter's success last year)
https://amasportsphotoagency.wordpress.com/2010/05/23/
Today I traveled to Dublin, Ireland again. Last week when The Queen was there it was the UEFA Europa League Final and after the US President left to visit The Queen in London, it was the Carling Nations Cup.
I grew up loving the Home Nations – they were nearly as exciting as the World Cup. In those days we only got to see one game a week on Match of the Day on BBC and one on Star Soccer on ATV. I could watch Manchester United stars like Sammy McIlroy playing for Northern Ireland, Gordon McQueen playing for Scotland and Steve Coppell playing for England. It was only because of this tournament that I realised Liverpool's Kenny Daglish was Scottish.
The Premier League clubs that AMA are the official photographers for had an array of players playing for all the competing teams so I set off for Holyhead in good time after encountering road works on the island of Anglesey last week.
However, I did not factor bad traffic around Chester due to a crash and more road works around Conway. To cut a long story short, I arrived at the ferry check in at 11.31 when the last passengers were accepted at 11.30 for the noon departure. To say that I was annoyed was an understatement. The little Miss Hitler was having none of my sad tales and stopped myself and a cute American girl from boarding.
Having some time to kill, I went back to my car, spoke to fellow AMA snapper Sam before having a drive around the town of Holyhead. Three minutes later I had finished and parked up over looking the sea and sent some emails and finished editing AFC Wimbledon securing promotion to the Football League from Saturday. Then sent a text message to my best friend in the world Sarah whose birthday it is today. I forget somethings, but I never forget May 24.
I got the next Irish Ferries after Stenna Line spectacularly demanded the crazy price of double what Irish Ferries were charging – and that was not even first class. The Welsh lady representing Stenna Line didn't seem too bothered that I wanted to get to Dublin quickly and was late due to someone else having a bad day in a road crash.
I waited for the Irish Ferries boat instead. Eventually it was time to get on deck and I spent the three-hour journey editing a video for a song my friends have recorded at the famous Rockfield Studios. I'm now 75% done, but not showing it anyone until I'm 100% happy. I may be some time!
I walked off the ferry and found a passport belonging to someone called James. His passport was heavily stamped like mine. I was impressed with his Columbia stamps. I left it with the Polish girl on the boat reception who did not seem bothered that someone was about to have a bad day.
The Irish taxi driver taking me to the Aviva Stadium relayed countless stories on people he had picked up who had missed ferries – I was not alone!
I got to the stadium, collected my accreditation and chatted at length to a colleague from AFC Wrexham. Eventually the media people handed out the team sheets and it stuck me that I only knew 4 Northern Ireland players. No Pat Jennings, No Norman Whiteside, No Sammy McIlroy and certainly No Gordon Armstrong or No Martin O'Neill.
No Chris Brunt of WBA either.
Only Gareth McAuley of Northern Ireland who has signed for the Baggies, so my self-imposed challenge was to get him alongside Simon Cox playing for the Republic of Ireland as they will be team mates next season and may make a nice picture for a pre-season match day programme.
The fans had not come out to support the tournament. It was a bit bare compared to last weeks FC Porto v SC Braga Europa League Final. The stadium announcer in Dublin kept reminding fans that they could watch tomorrows contest between Scotland and Wales for free with the tickets for this match.
In Dublin it is the only stadium in the entire world that does not let photographers stand in front of the players singing the National Anthems, so no head shots to have on file. This meant more stock to be shot in the game in a bid to get some 'top halves' and shots suitable for magazine editors wanting head shots.
Again for some reason, photographers were only allowed up until the 6 yard box on one side of the pitch. The Aviva Stadium is built primarily for Rugby, hence the poor photographer needing a 800mm lens instead of a 400mm to shoot action like in most other stadia as advertisement boards are placed after the try lines behind the goal. I sat on the other side with my 500mm lens next to bemused stewards in yellow jackets being paid to stare at lots of green seats during the match.
Quite frankly Northern Ireland were terrible. The Republic playing well with Stephen Ward of another AMA team, Wolverhampton Wanderers scoring a goal on his debut. A text message was sent to the WBA Press Officer when I had my picture of their new signing next to Simon Cox.
It was on the WBA website for the Baggies fans to see. Not the world's best picture but certainly editorially relevant to the WBA website.
The Republic of Ireland came out 5-0 winners. Highlight of the night was Simon Cox scoring a goal in his International debut.
The Irish fans singing "We love Cox". After I though they were still horny as they sang "We want six" but with their accents it sounded like "We want sex".
The best game I had been to in years, probably a good decade was Wigan Athletic v West Ham United. However for every good game at the moment I have to endure 10 bad ones – these are bad to photograph – I still don't really watch or know what is going on like a fan watching.
However with some photographers complaining that this game was dull, I had other thoughts. I had captured a few decent action shots, a multitude of stock pictures and some goals and celebrations to wire out to the Irish newspapers.
I finished editing all of my pictures in the stadium and instead of paying a 20 euro taxi fare got the local train to the city centre from just under two euro. Getting off at Connolly I remarkably bumped into the American girl who had been not allowed on the ferry like me. She had also argued with the other ferry company why it was so expensive and like me took the later ferry. She was off for some food. I needed to find my hotel, which I did with ease. The only issue was that the hotel had lost the room key.
In my hotel room I found that Wolves had covered the game from their own club's perspective focussing on Ward's debut goal.
With no urgent emails to attend to, I embarked on another episode of the excellent and addictive US TV show Breaking Bad.
Another 16 hour day over and done with. I won't stay up that late as I want to explore Dublin again. I charged my batteries up for tomorrow and found my paperwork for the return trip and my passort.
I wondered if the chap had was re-united with his passport that I had found and left with the Polish girl on the boat with the bad attitude.
Luckily the only thing I had forgotten to do today was eat.

Great Peter! I love it! Though the only thing you spectacularly missed was the horrendous spelling and grammar errors (that have been now cleaned up).
I need a proof reader.

Hi Matt,
Nice to hear you were back in Dublin for the Carling Nations Cup and a few good shots I see. Out of interest did you have any luck selling images to Irish Newspapers? Seems like the 2 main sports agencies here have exclusive deals and it's difficult to break through.
Very entertaining blog as always. Keep it up

Thanks for another great post! Summing up what life is like on the road as a snapper, way better than I've ever been able to. A smattering of tips in there goes a long way as well. Keep it up fella.

The blog is a diary
its most certainly not a photo tips site – some people have enough trouble choosing which eye to use.
Fortunately I am left footed, right handed and left eyed.


Most people enjoy their birthday (maybe not the whole getting older part, but having a pampered day is pretty fun!). Cheyenne's last birthday was one that will definitely stand out forever, because after nearly 7 years together, Brandon asked her to be his forever.
Excited for some wedding planning, they both agreed that they wanted their day to be relaxed, fun, and memorable. With photos high on their priority list, Cheyenne struggled with how she would know when she found the photographer. They knew it was important to find someone who made them feel at ease, allowed wedding day moments to unfold naturally versus being in their face, and was able to bring their wedding day visions to life…but did their perfect match even exist?
When they arrived at my studio, I could tell Cheyenne was nervous. I assured her that by the time they left the studio, she would completely at ease and know that they had found the photographer they were seeking. I'm pretty sure that in her head she was thinking "yea right, not a chance". We spent the next hour or two talking about their love story, looking at albums, and excitedly talking wedding plans. As we chatted, I noticed the two looking a little more relaxed on the couch and knew that I had succeeded in keeping my promise.
Blue Marsh Lake was the perfect pick for their engagement session location! We had the best of everything: crisp leaves, fall colors, a gorgeous lake, and a sunset to take our breath away.
If I were to tell someone how nervous these two were leading up to their day in front of the camera, they wouldn't believe me! Within minutes of their session beginning, they were already laughing, dancing, and almost forgetting I was even there.
As we were saying our goodbyes and ready to leave, this little spot caught my eye. I couldn't walk away from that sky and reflection! We owe a huge thank you to the ranger who allowed us to stay at the park at little later than we were supposed to, giving us the opportunity for this photo!
I'm so thrilled to have been invited to be a part of their fall wedding later this year and can't wait for what's ahead!

ABSTRACT Environmentally sustainable process technology is an international Master's Programme, which has been offered by Chalmers since 1997. This programme has been established in order to meet the needs and demands of engineers having both the knowledge and the skills required to design, develop, and improve processes which are environmentally sustainable as well as economically sound. This means that the effluent from processes should be minimised, the processes themselves should be as energy-efficient as possible, and the products must be economically competitive. A part of this programme is concerned with a case study, giving the students the opportunity to apply their knowledge in practice. In this paper one of the case studies carried out in 1997 is presented. The study deals with waste-water treatment of the ethylenediamine plant at AKZO-NOBEL in Stenungsund, Sweden. This case study was performed by a group of students under supervision of personnel from Chalmers and industry. The progress of the project and the learning outcomes were controlled in different ways by the supervisors in co-operation with the group co-ordinator. The interaction among students and between students and supervisors will be described in detail. This project was evaluated through a written questionnaire and personal interviews.

How To Develop Mobile App With Precision?
How complex is mobile app development?
The process of developing a mobile app is quite cumbersome. It requisite intense planning and all-encompassing synchronization of elements to streamline the process rationality; the identification of the right course of action is significantly important.
The quality of the developed app and the timely delivery are also significant concerns that are confronted by developers. How can they ease the pressure?
The allocation of the resources sets the process in motion. It must be aligned effectively to establish the propensity for secured outcomes.
The right way of developing the path is the specialty that SpiralClick can demonstrate for a range of different projects.
Any app that is developed has to make the end user experience better. Imagine the effort and monetary resources lost if the developed app is unable to make things better for the end user.
The idea generation for any endeavor is the platform that launches the efficient way of streamlining the procedure in a methodological approach. In the digital world, the businesses want to devise engagement platforms that are all-inclusive. As a coder, your job is just starting.
How to add liveliness to the website platform is the recipe for success in the online medium. Businesses need a viable engagement model, and professional mobile app development company provides the features that diminish inefficiency.
Any development process starts with the readiness of the situation. Planning necessitates how the quality of code should be incorporated to improve the functionality of the platform.
The customer has a specific outcome affixed for the developed application. They should get the features that have been envisioned.
How significant is testing the quality cycle?
User experience must be tested. There is always something new added to the customer experience.
The strategy deployed for the app development should center on the user experience. For superior app development procedures, it is significant to understand how the market would respond to the end product.
It is essential to understand how online businesses need better integration of variables to boost customer engagement. The recognition of the right frame of reference for customer engagement will differ however it is essential to outline an extensive user experience framework that can control the propensity for better results.
It is time to ascertain how the expectations can be attained with agility.
The world of mobile usage has seen unprecedented growth over the past couple of years.
In 2016, internet usage on mobile phones officially took over from desktop computers and tablets, and Google is now reporting that more than half of all the queries on their website come from smartphones.
If you've decided to build your first ever mobile application, you've already taken the first step in engaging what is an exponentially growing audience.
According to Statista, the number of mobile app downloads is expected to cross 350 billion by the year 2021. Think back only 10 years when the new iPhone 3G had just come out and you'll realize how quickly mobiles have taken over our lives.
If you believe you have an idea for an app that not only stands out from the crowd, but it also provides supreme functionality and ease-of-use, you're almost guaranteed to find success. If such a simple idea like Flappy Bird can become such a global phenomenon, then any well-designed application has a chance to make it.
However, before you get to the work on creating a killer app that blows away the competition, there are a few design tips and tricks you should know.
All of the points mentioned in this article come from experts in the industry, so you know they won't lead you astray.
With that out of the way, let's jump right into it. Here are 6 do's and don'ts every amateur should know about mobile apps designing.
You'll be surprised to hear how many people say they know step, but never actually get around to it.
Always keep in mind that you're designing the app for a target audience, and their needs and wants are the only things that matter. You might not like a certain trend or practice that others are following, but if it helps engage users better, you'll need to incorporate the idea into your own app as well.
Of course, you can always choose to add your own unique touch to certain trends to make sure your app isn't generic.
If all of the text appeared as a pop up at the bottom of the screen on one slide, then it should repeat like that for all other slides as well.
Consistency is extremely important in digital design of any kind, but it takes on a higher importance for mobile apps simply because all the content is crowded into a smaller-sized screen, where things become more noticeable.
Unless you're targeting highly skilled technical staff or scientists, you'll need to design the app in a way that anyone can learn to use it easily.
Put yourself in the shoes of a layman and start designing from this perspective. You'll also need to cater for people of different ages and backgrounds. The older generations naturally have a harder time adjusting to new ideas, so make it easier for them to use your product.
Do not get us wrong; it's essential to have an app that looks pretty. But, it's even more important to make sure that its usability comes first.
A great example of this is the Flappy Bird game we mentioned earlier in the post. The game's graphics looked like they would come straight out of a 90's arcade, but it was the app's ease-of-use and simplicity that won users over.
A similar concept should apply in your design, especially when you're making an initial prototype. You can add all the flashy animations and colors once you're sure that everything works as it should.
One of the biggest mistakes we see many amateur designers make is that they release their new applications on the respective app stores without fixing all the bugs.
As a user, there's nothing more annoying than finding out that an app which seemed so promising at first turns out to be buggy and slow once you start using it a little.
Show the initial trial version of the app to a few of your friends and colleagues, and ask them to test it for you similar to how a general user would. They'll find bugs and problems that you weren't even aware of.
If you've used the same application on an Android phone and iPhone, you'll have noticed that there are significant differences between both designs, even though they accomplish the same thing. Have you ever wondered why this is so?
It's because each OS has its distinctive style and feel, and mobile apps are designed with those respective users in mind.
If you're unfamiliar with any of the major mobile OS platforms (Android, iOS, Windows), we'd highly recommend that you use it extensively for a couple of weeks before beginning your design so that you have a clearer idea of how it functions and feels.

Q: Replace scp with sftp We have a few synchronization scripts for a client sending files, using scp, to a remote server administered by one of their providers. Recently they closed it, and the new one they provided doesn't permit scp, only sftp (there is no way to get a shell on the remote server, so scp / rsync can't work).
Is there a somewhat simple way to replace scp in the scripts by sftp ? I guess the easiest I know of would be to use sshfs and use cp instead of scp, but that's very ugly.
Looks like sftp can be passed a file with commands in it using -b, but that means re-coding parts of the scripts. I was wondering if there were any way to use sftp as a drop in replacement to scp, or some other package that would provide a similar functionality ? (i.e sftp /source user@remote:/dest or something like that, it'd be perfect if I could just sed the scripts to replace only the command)
Thanks

A: You could use a batchfile aproximation:
sftp -b batchfile [user@]host

a batchfile includes a sequence of commands that must reproduce "scp" operation with equivalent ftp commands:
cd remote_dir
lcd local_dir
put file

A: Rsync over sftp or chroot sftp
Edit: To be clear, the LFTP client supports numerous protocols, including FTP, HTTP, FISH, SFTP, HTTPS, FTPS and BitTorrent.  In this example, we are using SFTP.  The client name has caused some confuion from folks reading this post.
You can use lftp and it's mirror sub-system to replicate the behavior of rsync over SFTP.  This works in chroot environments as well.
lftp -u username, \
-e "set net:timeout 4;set net:max-retries 6;mirror -R --parallel=8 --no-perms --newer-than=now-2days --only-newer /source/ /source/;bye" sftp://hostname.domain

In this example, I left out the password, because we have an SSH key trust to the destination host.
Note: The -R does not mean recursive.  The -R flag means push to remote.
--parallel= is the number of threads to break the job up into.  This can be limited or impacted of course by MaxStartups in /etc/ssh/sshd_config and nofile pam limits and other limits on the target server.
net:max-retries 6 I like to retry, just in case there was a network maintenance.
net:timeout 4 give up, then retry after 4 seconds.
--no-perms if you don't wish to change perms on the remote end.
--newer-than is just an example of something to use as needed.
--loop can be used to repeat the sync until there are not changes detected.
bye we don't want to forget to log out instead of relying on idle timeout.
There are many other options available in LFTP.
I have had great experiences with LFTP using it's mirror sub-system and SFTP.  It is substantially faster, as it can break jobs up into multiple streams.  It can even break up a single file into multiple streams.
A major security advantage of using LFTP is allowing file transfers in environments where you don't want the automation scripts to have access to a shell on the remote end.
I created a working demo that you are welcome to test with.  File retention is low, but you are welcome to use this to see how easy it is to automate pushing directories / files using lftp plus sftp chroot.  Simply install lftp and then create some temp dirs or files, then:
mkdir -p ~/sftp_test/`date '+%Y%m%d%H%M'`/{1,2,3}/{a,b,c}
lftp -u anon, -e "set net:timeout 4;set net:max-retries 4;mirror -R --parallel=4 --no-perms ~/sftp_test/ /private/;bye" sftp://ohftp.org

BMWConcept CarsEuro
A Blast From The Past! – BMW 2002 Hommage
By Yama Rusta
BMW decided to pay homage to one of their greatest cars, the original BMW 2002.
The original 2002 inspired the German car company to continue making a their infamous 3 series model that is still used today. We'll be reviewing how the 2002 Homage Concept compares to the original.
BMW 2002 Hommage History
BMW was the first car company to make a turbocharged car that came out of production in Europe. That car was the 2002 Turbo. So to honor the BMW 2002 Turbo, they decided to turbo-charge the Hommage as well.
The BMW 2 series is said to have the most resemblance to the original BMW 2002. BMW based the Hommage model off the M2, the top-of-the-line of the 2 series models. The tail lights of the BMW 2002 Homage almost match the original's with their curved, 4-angles, and timeless look.
BMW 2002 Hommage Aerodynamics
One factor that makes the all new Hommage great, is the aerodynamics. The front spoiler under the grille provides a decent amount of added down-force to the car. What's super amazing is that they have managed to retain features of the original BMW 2002, a car that came out 50 years ago. For BMW to modernize its technology and keep its classic look is nothing short of why they make The Ultimate Driving Machine!
Aerodynamics is also found on other parts of the car. If you take a look at both models, you will see a resemblance with the bands that run down the side. The only difference is the aerodynamics provided with these bands. BMW 2002's Homage uses an aforementioned carbon band that provided greater aerodynamic capabilities for speed and gas mileage purposes.
Now lets get to the fenders for all you car fanatics who love those wheels popped out. Since the original BMW 2002 turbo had its fenders rolled straight out of production, it was only right for the BMW 2002 Homage to have done so as well.
Paint used for the 2002 BMW Homage is completely original. They decided to uses a Space Race Medal paintwork that has both matte and gloss in it to help make a magnificent blue metallic color. For all you M lovers who love seeing the baby blue, navy blue, and royal red colors BMW only provides with M series models, do not worry because these colors are found not only on the front bumper and rear. This BMW 2002 is not only a Homage to the classic but to all BMW fans.

Feds Drop 8-year Investigation
of Portland Sewage Spills
by Mark Larabee
The Oregonian, March 4, 2009
Today, an average of 2.3 billion gallons of raw sewage escapes every year.
The federal government has dropped its eight-year investigation of Portland's program to control sewage overflows into the Willamette River and Columbia Slough.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Justice Department investigation, which began in 2001, was largely seen as a political move by the Bush administration. The EPA claimed the city was violating the Clean Water and the Safe Drinking Water acts.
The EPA notified the city of its intention to drop the case in a phone call last month, just days before George W. Bush was to leave office. The agency also sent a letter to the city.
The investigation began after complaints from a group of Oregon's rural lawmakers, who had long grumbled about a perception that Portland wanted to impose more environmental standards on their districts while the state's largest city escaped scrutiny for huge sewage spills.
Ironically, Portland was in the middle of a $1.4 billion effort to reduce sewage spills when the feds came knocking.
Ten years earlier, the city had begun its so-called "Big Pipe" project on the Willamette's west side to capture sewage overflows during heavy rains. Like many older cities, Portland's sewage system and storm drains are connected, meaning raw sewage mixes with runoff during heavy rains and flows freely into the river.
The big pipe is designed to capture 96 percent of that overflow.
In 1991, Portland was spilling an average of 6 billion gallons of sewage a year into local waterways. Today, an average of 2.3 billion gallons of raw sewage escapes every year. When the east side Big Pipe is completed in 2011, city officials estimate only 240 million gallons will escape during the heaviest rainstorms.
Commissioner Dan Saltzman, who oversaw the city's environmental efforts from 1999 through 2004, said he was pleased that the EPA recognizes that the city's efforts "deserve support and not litigation."
Mayor Sam Adams said the federal government had threatened fines and conditions that would have added $250 million in infrastructure to the city's river cleanup efforts.
"This began with a joint memorial by the Republican-controlled Legislature," Adams said. "It was a Republican attack on Portland. I'm just grateful that we avoided the additional cost."
It started with politics and may have ended the same way. It's not surprising to some that roughly six weeks into the Obama administration, federal officials dropped the investigation.
Even so, the city spent a lot of time and effort addressing the concerns, said Dean Marriott, head of the Portland Bureau of Environmental Services.
"Once this was referred to the Justice Department, we had to take this really seriously, no matter what the cause," Marriott said.
Marriott said for eight years the city negotiated with the lawyers and regulators in endless meetings, showing them how the city was progressing in its sewage control efforts, which have been on time and under budget.
After a Justice Department trial lawyer burrowed into the case, Marriott said the city finally gained some ground. On Jan. 15, five days before the end of the Bush administration, the case was dropped.
"I think they finally realized their case was a dog and decided to get rid of it," Marriott said. "I suspect they knew change was coming."
U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said the EPA's decision to drop its fight with Portland ends "a long, sad chapter that underscores the old adage, 'No good deed goes unpunished.' "
"While I'm glad the EPA has seen the error of its ways, this is a battle between federal and local government that should have never been waged," Wyden said in a statement released by the city.

What is Acupuncture ? Acupuncture is:
A system of healing which has been practised in China and other Eastern countries for thousands of years;
Used as a means of pain relief;
Used to treat people with a wide range of illnesses from arthritis to asthma; depression to dry eyes; menopause to ME;
According to traditional Chinese philosophy, our health is dependent on the body's motivating energy - known as Qi (pronounced 'chi') - moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of meridians (channels) beneath the skin.
Qi consists of equal and opposite qualities - Yin and Yang - and when these become unbalanced, illness may result.
By inserting fine needles into the channels of energy, an acupuncturist can stimulate the body's own healing response and help restore its natural balance.
More general information on Acupuncture is available here at the British Acupuncture website.

TIM Brasil admits CEMIG interest; seeks to merge subsidiaries
Stefano De Angelis, the CEO of TIM Participacoes (TIM Brasil), has confirmed that his company is exploring the acquisition of regional operator CEMIG Telecom, which was recently put on sale by utility firm Companhia Energetica de Minas Gerais (CEMIG). Telesintese reports the executive as saying: 'Our industrial plan foresees major investments in the construction of fibre-optic networks, so why not buy the fibre network already built by CEMIG? … We have to look at the financial terms to see if the deal makes sense.'
Interested parties have previously been named as Telefonica Brasil (Vivo); Algar Telecom; Vogel Telecom, which was formed by Patria Investimentos in April 2015, following the merger of five regional fibre-optic operators, Avvio Telecom, Smart Brasil, SouthTech Telecom and Rede Otica Bahia; regional submarine cable operator GlobeNet Cabos Submarinos; and infrastructure funds managed by UBS. Local press reports have previously suggested that the telco is valued at around BRL193 million (USD59.1 million).
In other TIM Brasil news, the company has confirmed that the company's board of directors has approved a plan to implement a 'corporate reorganisation' of its subsidiaries TIM Celular and Intelig, through the incorporation of TIM Celular by Intelig. By merging the units, TIM Brasil hopes to better exploit financial and operational synergies. TeleGeography notes that the Italian-backed firm acquired corporate telco Intelig in May 2010.
