The Motoman HP20 is one of the most versatile models made by Motoman today. The robot can weld, handle material and remove material with the best of them. It is used in industries around the world. However, it is not just the end-of-arm tooling that is important when looking at this robot and its work. It just as important to look under the proverbial hood, and see how it runs.
The most important parts on the HP 20 would probably have to be the servomotors. Without the servomotors directing power to the gears of the robot, the robot would not be able to move or perform processes efficiently on the job site. There are four servomotors, part numbers SGMRS-12A2B-YR11, SGMRS-13A2A-YR11, SGMRS-06A2B-YR11 and SGMPH-02A2A-YR11, which operate the motor functions of the Motoman HP-20.
Another important element to the inner workings of the HP20 are the speed reducers that are located on each axis. The speed reducers, part numbers HW9381641-B, HW9381641-A, HW9280880-A, HW0381463-A, HW9381633-A and HW0382140-A, are able to slow the output from the servomotors and direct the power to other areas of the robot to make the robot perform more effectively.
One of the last internal parts important to the Motoman HP 20's performance is the internal wiring, part numbers HW0171559-A and HW0270954-A. The internal wiring is responsible from running power and information from the power supply and robot controller to the robot itself. Without the wiring, the robot would not be able to move or do its job.

New Zealand co-productions rise for 2014 as Wellington remains film centre
There was a rise in the number of New Zealand features made as international co-productions in 2014, while Wellington remained the country's main filming hub. Nearly 80% of production revenue for the year was generated in the capital.
New Zealand's screen industry generated NZD 3.2 billion, a similar figure to the previous year, according to figured from Statistics New Zealand. Auckland dominated the TV market, generating more than 75% of New Zealand's television revenue and almost all broadcasting revenue.
"The total revenue is largely driven by a few businesses – those with revenues of at least NZD 50 million – but over 91% of all screen businesses earn less than half a million dollars each," said the organisation's business performance statistics manager Jason Attewell: "Many businesses in the screen industry are one-person contractors."
"2015 looks to be a cracker," says Gerard Quinn, head of Grow Wellington: "We expect to see steep growth next financial year as the revamped government screen incentives begin to produce more project revenues, jobs and wider benefits from tourism and technology.
"International co-productions such as Disney's Pete's Dragon, Legendary Pictures' Krampus, ITV/Pukeko Pictures' Thunderbirds and Thunderbirds Season 2, as well as many New Zealand-based projects are already making this year a successful one for the region."
Auckland has had a new surge of production activity, with TV fantasy Shannara currently based at Auckland Film Studios (above).
New Zealand boosted its filming incentive programme this time last year to enable its production industry to compete more effectively internationally. Wellington is set to host James Cameron's big-budget but delayed Avatar sequels in the near future.

The Wild Dog, Lycaon Pictus, is nomadic and travels vast distances in search of prey.
Wild Dogs generally try to avoid areas where there is a regular lion presence. They are able to slip in and out of fenced reserves using passages made under the fences by warthogs. Consequently they sometimes move onto commercial game farms and do a huge amount of financial damage. The incensed landowner may even take things into his/her own hands and eliminate the pack. Scary !
During the middle of this month, we had a pack of Wild Dogs on Tremisana property for a few days. They killed a number of impala. We then had a lion kill on the property and the Wild Dogs disappeared. They reappeared towards the end of the month and were seen on the tar road outside the reserve. Despite our best efforts to coax them back, they entered a private reserve across the road where their fate is unknown.
There are thought to be only 200 Wild Dogs in Kruger Park so any losses are significant.
Wild Dog on the road.
Notwithstanding this, our guides saw Wild Dogs fairly frequently this month both in Kruger and Balule.
3rd Feb: Hot day : sightings difficult. Lions on Timbavati river bed, Elephants Sweni road, Ximangwanini dam and at Nsemani dam. Buffaloes Werverdiend waterhole.
8th : Better sightings : good lions at Kingfisherspruit, leopard Timbavati river bed, white rhino Timbavati river bed, elephants Nsemani dam.
13th : Mating pair of lions seen from Bobbejaankrans view point, leopard on tree along Timbavati river bed, elephants Nsemani dam and 2 huge buffalo bulls also at Nsemani.
17th : Wild dogs Rabelais road, lions Timbavati river bed, hyenas junction S36 and S39 roads, lions Girivana windmill along with elephants, Buffaloes on S40 road. Leopard crossing Timbavati river.
23rd : Lions at Sweni bridge with zebra kill, cheetah at Nkaya pan, Wild dogs on S90 road, lions S100 and S 41 – pride with the white lions, elephants at Nsemani dam White rhino near Orpen.
Surprise, surprise – halala !
It's been a long time waiting for rain and because the bush was very dry it was so hard to see the animals. But now it has changed – we received some rain and the bush is green. You can feel that the animals are happy because there is food everywhere.
On a Sundowner drive, my guests were enjoying nature and then we come across a breeding herd of elephants which was awesome. One female elephant came with her baby very close to the Landcruiser – it was amazing for my lucky guests to see that.
I drove to Barnards and at Ngwenya dam we found five lionesses really close. It was amazing and my guests were very happy. I had a brilliant sighting of a male leopard that walked between my cruiser and Raymond's.
On our bushwalks this month, we always found hippos and crocodiles at the Olifants River as well as elephants bulls. Waterbuck and giraffes were plentiful.
There were lots of impala on Rome 1 and also some baboons. We even saw 2 Nyala bulls on the opposite bank of the Olifants river.
Afternoon drives have also been productive : We have regularly found 2 bull elephants on the Olifants road, giraffes near Tremisana dam, 5 lionesses with 1 lion on Barnards and fairly regular sightings of Black Rhino.
Rex does it again !!!
On a recent Sleep Out on the platform at Marula Boma we had elephants visit the waterhole and heard lions. We saw porcupine, genet, civet, honey badger and hyena – excellent !
Finally the rain has come!
It has been an amazing month seeing the changes in the Bush after we received proper rain. From a dull grey and brown veld to a lush green and life filled area. With the beautiful new vegetation we have noticed a massive increase in animal sightings and the Buffalo are back!
On the Bushwalks we have been privileged to have encounters with Elephant and our beautiful hippos and crocodiles by the Olifants River. Every walk helps me gain more and more experience and knowledge about the area. It is a great way to get some exercise. It is one of my favourite activities as it also helps getting the true feel of being in the Bush and sharing it with my guests.
The morning drives have surprised us a few times when we found a pride of lion making their way through the Bush and about 2 days ago we had a great sighting of 4 lionesses on a Kudu kill – truly a wonderful way to get the day started.
Elephants! Elephants everywhere you go!
I have had multiple Elephant sightings ranging from lone bulls to large breeding herds. We have also come across lovely Rhino sightings on the Rome 1.
We have had amazing encounters on the sunset drives and we had our first sighting of Buffalo in the last 4 months ; many elephants ; Rhino and even lion sightings ; truly great experiences.
I have only been on a few sundowner drives but every time was an amazing experience with multiple encounters with big five and other general game. A memorable experience this month was where we stopped for snacks and drinks next to the Olifants River watching the sunset and hippos lazing around in the water. Their vocalisations were unforgettable !
This was an amazing month and I can't wait to see what lies ahead in March.
On the 2nd Feb at Tremisana Lodge there were 8 bull elephants busy eating from the Marula trees.
4th : On Barnards Ngwenya dam we found 5 lionesses busy hunting zebra unsuccessfully.
7th : Rome 1 we found the famous black rhino bull, Zulu. Once we turned off the engine he came to check on us – came to within 5m.
22nd : 3 lionesses killed a kudu close to vd Merwe fence.
Buffalo bull seen on Bush walk along Olifants River.
21st : On H1-3 near Sweni we found a pride of lions eating a zebra about 50m from the road.
25th : Near Orpen, we found 2 lions and 4 lionesses with 4 cubs busy eating a freshly-killed Buffalo.
26th : On H6 we found a female leopard up a tree with a porcupine kill.
Greetings to all from the lovely South African bushveld. This month the rain finally came and so the animals have found their way back to us.
This month we had the pleasure to see the level of the Olifants River water increasing, also we had the pleasure to find a brand new baby hippo along with his mother. The very first time we got to see that baby, the mother was away from the rest of the pod, she was relaxing in the water when all of a sudden we caught a glimpse of the little head above the water – we then stood very still and waited for that little one to reappear.
One morning, Rex and I went on a bush walk. Rex had seen some lions the night before and so we asked our guests if they wanted to go and take a chance and see if they were still around – all agreed. So we made our way there. Unfortunately they had moved and we were a bit disappointed. We then drove on and had a brilliant sighting of 3 lionesses that had killed a Zebra. We were all so happy, we then went on our bush walk with everyone excited.
This is my favourite drive of all.
One evening we went out and we saw a lot of plains game such as Giraffes/Zebras/Impalas and a whole lot of birds. We decided to stop and enjoy our drinks. I had 5 guests : 3 Italian men and an Australian couple. One of the guides from another company texted me some information – we made our way back to the airstrip to find 5 lioness walking by. We viewed and enjoyed it then made our way back to the lodge. That was the way it was supposed to happen, obviously nothing ever goes according to plan in the bush as my colleague Raymond radioed me to tell me that the females were gone but a big male just popped up. I knew we had to make it fast ( Ferrari Safari ) as he was on the move. As we got there, he greeted us with a beautiful Roar. Now please try to get into the mood, 1 big male lion lit up by our spotlight in the complete darkness and Roaring very loud. The whole atmosphere for a perfect African bush experience. It was magical.
His roars will last in my memory forever……..
I had such a brilliant drive : as we left Tremisana Lodge, Ezulwini, one of the famous elephants of this area greeted us, walked past us and carried on with his road, all of it within 10 meters away from our Cruiser, we were all quiet and admiring that gentle giant. Further on we had to suddenly stop to allow a Rock python cross the road. We stayed there for a good 5 minutes as they are not so fast, the python was taking its time. That was such an unbelievable experience for me to witness as it was my very first time ever. Later on we managed to find a Chameleon on one of the trees. At the Boma there were quite a few visitors : the honey badger came of course, along with 2 porcupines, 1 African Civet as well as 1 hyena. The whole atmosphere was just perfect. What a drive !!!!!
On one of the days in Kruger we got BIG 5 plus Wild Dogs !
We started off on the H7 where we found good quality general game including Zebra, Giraffe crossing the road, Greater Kudu, Loads of Impalas. At Nsemani dam we found a Troop of baboons eating and messing the road full of Marula fruit. There were multiple Elephant herds busy drinking water – what a sight to see them all coming together like that. On the S 100 we found loads of Giraffes and a beautiful lion sighting. On the way back we had an update that there was a Rhino lying down under a tree so off we went to see him. After lunch we drove south towards S126-Sweni road – what a great road – full of Elephants and Buffalos and then a magical sighting the Wild Dogs. We left Kruger a little disappointed – no leopard – and then WHAM – one of my guests saw a leopard lying near the fence of the adjoining Timbavati reserve. Got the Big Five!!!
On another day in Kruger we got Buffalo on the fence line even before we entered Kruger!
Drives on Motlala Reserve are excellent – we have a 100% record of seeing Black Rhino.
Mom and affectionate Black Rhino calf seen on Motlala Reserve.
What a great start to an awesome month as the veld has gone through a big change with the wonderful rain that has come our way.
I have been moved from lodge management at Tremisana to Head Ranger and Fleet Manager. Great new responsibility : a lovely post and a blessing in my life.
The Olifants River has increased in volume with the rain we received and Crocodile and Hippo sightings are excellent.
I recommend to all guests to book a 5 or 6 day safari as you will get to experience Moholoholo Rehab Centre and Tshukudu Private Game Reserve.
All sightings in Kruger Park.
11th : Lions, Buffalos, White rhino and Elephants.
13th : Lions, elephants, wild dogs, Buffalos and an injured white rhino.
21st : Lions at a Zebra kill at H6 one big bull Elephant two bulls buffalos and leopard.
23rd: Lions, Buffalos , Elephants, White Rhino, 4 cheetahs at the entrance of Satara. Wild Dogs north of Satara.
24th: Big herd of Buffalos, Lions, Elephant, two male Cheetahs on H1-3.
Tremisana Dam remains close to 100% full. There have been a lot more animals now that the green grass is sprouting. We have had both a lion kill and a wild dog kill on the property this month. Guests at the Lapa have had lunch time visits from elephants.
More baby nyala are being born near the camp. What with the hyena and leopard population, the nyala fawns are far safer near human habitation than anywhere else.
Nico is rearing 2 baby ostriches that were found hungry and abandoned. I hope they make it to adulthood as we get plenty spoor and scats of hyena and leopard on the property.
We have a special at Masango Camp for March up to the end of April. Please contact our office for further particulars.
Fantastic lodge and fantastic staff in a great location.
Fabulous lodge in lovely wooded grounds. You can watch monkeys, Nyala, and whoever else passes through. We think we saw honey badgers scurrying away.
The tents are a fantastic. They are really big with lovely decor which is in keeping with the location. The bed was a very comfortable and there was a bath and both an indoor and outdoor shower. The decking was very spacious, and it was lovely to sit out. The cold pool/ tub was perfect to sit in after a long day on safari and enjoy the surroundings. The coffee and tea facilities were an added bonus. The food was very good, and Henry provided us with different 3 course dinners every night and great substantial breakfasts every day including the best savoury muffins I have ever tasted. We also lunch on days we on safari at lunch time.
Margaret took great care of us as well and decorated the table creatively every evening. Nico was our main guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and his enthusiasm was infectious.
We had a great stay. Our package included a bush walk which was great, 2 days in Kruger, a visit to Moholoholo sanctuary, and 3 different game reserves. We saw the big 5, including a leopard and a lot more as well. It was a fantastic holiday made all the better by the very helpful efficient staff and guides who couldn't do enough to help you and make sure that you loved the bush as much as they did by the time you were leaving.
Rooms are comfortable with air conditioning, fans and mosquito nets. Food is well cooked and plentiful. Staff are very friendly and cater to each individual person rather than the group.
Monkeys are very cheeky, and doors and windows have to be shut, or they will sneak into the room and steal things. There are many animals in the private park and the guides are all very knowledgeable.
I would thoroughly recommend this safari to everyone.
Special thanks to Charl for making sure all our needs where met during our stay. Myself and my friends really did enjoy every aspect of the trip! The rooms are really unique and give a sense of adventure to the trip while having all the amenities required. Not something you will find at any other lodge and a really great experience to make the trip a special and great experience!
I would recommend Viva Safaris in the future for the great value for money, friendly staff and experience that feels special and personal.

He was the best known man in the south part of Jefferson County, and was known
to hundreds of men in Mt. Vernon and other points of the county.  He was known
by reputation to all readers of local newspapers at his extreme age, the fact
that he was the county's only survivor of the Mexican War, and his prominence
in the locality in which he lived combined to make him often the subject of comment
in the news columns.  There are but few remaining who survived the Mexican War.
Mr. BROWN was a man of what is often styled the old school.  He was a man of great
simplicity of life and habits.  He cared not for show or display in any form, and
never sought that in any way.  A man of great industry, energy, foresight and business
actions, he accumulated much property engaging in general farming and stock dealing.
His judgment was almost unerring and it is doubtful if he ever made a bad move in a
business deal throughout his long and active career.
Mr. BROWN was always neat and ____ in appearance, and often dressed in black and was
a man who would be looked at more than once even in a large crowd.  He always took
great interest in politics and the upbuilding and advancement of the locality in
which he lived, being one of the most spirited men of his time.  Mr. BROWN served a
number of times as a member of the board of supervisors from Spring Garden Township
and had served as highway commissioner and had been otherwise honored by the people
of his township, busy as he was never, in any sense, an office worker.
He was of a social disposition and loved the society of his friends, never forgot an
old friend, being loyal to the last, and faithful to the obligations of friendship
and ready at all times to meet every responsibility of life, however grave it might be.
Mr. BROWN loved children and enjoyed their companionship, and seemed never happier than
when ministering to their pleasure and the children reciprocated the affection he felt
for them.  A man of positive convictions he was pronounced in his likes and dislikes
but courteous at all times.
He never sought the limelight and made no attempt to obtain prominence by reason of
his unique position as the only Jefferson County survivor of the Mexican War.  Although
often sought on public occasions, as a speaker, he declined all invitations and at
the most would respond with only a few words.  Of "Uncle Cal" BROWN, it may be truly
said he was a worker and not a talker, that is in the sense of public speaking.
A biographical sketch of "Uncle Cal" BROWN follows:  Calvin M. BROWN was born at
Locust Creek, Washington County, Illinois, December 27, 1827.  He was the sixth child
of a family of eleven children.  When he was three years old, his father located in
Horse Prairie, Jefferson County, near Winfield.  Mr. BROWN enlisted in the Mexican War
in 1846 and served until July 1847.  He was a life long Democrat, and cast his first
vote for Lewis CASS of Michigan, for president in 1848.
Mr. BROWN was united in marriage with Anna Eliza FOSTER, April 9, 1851, and located
in Spring Garden Township, in which township the remainder of his life was spent.
Their union was blessed with nine children, three of whom survive, as follows:  Mrs.
Martha KIRK, Steven (Jerry) BROWN, and Miss Malissa BROWN at home.  The children are
residents of Ina.  Some grandchildren and great grandchildren survive.
Mr. BROWN raised his family on a farm a short distance south of Ina, and in his younger
days was one of the most successful farmers and stockmen in Jefferson County.  After the
founding of Ina, twenty-two years ago he located at that place, and lived there until his
death.  After moving to Ina he embarked in the lumber business with his son, S. E. BROWN,
and the business is still one of the most important in Ina.
Mr. BROWN's wife died about twenty-two years ago and since that time, his daughter Malissa
has had charge of his home.  In religion, Mr. BROWN was a Primitive Baptist, but was a broad
minded man, liberal in his views with respect to the opinions of others, and assisted the
different churches of the community in which he lived.  Public spirited and loyal to the
interests of his town he favored whatever tended to advance its civil, religious and moral
interests.
Most of the land on which the village of Ina stands formerly belonged to Mr. BROWN, and
he laid out a number of additions to the village since it was established.  With the
agita__on for hard roads he was an enthusiastic supported of the proposition, backing it
by giving right of way through his lands and urging others to do likewise.
Mr. BROWN was long a moderate user of tobacco, chewing, but never smoking the "weed".
He attributed his long life and good health to a naturally strong constitution, temperate
habits as to food and drink, and taking good care of his body.
Funeral at Ina tomorrow.  It is understood that the funeral will be held at Ina tomorrow
afternoon at 1 o'clock.

I Live in the Future & Here's How It Works: Why Your World, Work, and Brain Are Being Creatively Disrupted
Nick Bilton
$25, $9.99
Are we driving off a digital cliff and heading for disaster, unable to focus, maintain concentration, or form the human bonds that make life worth living? Are media and business doomed and about to be replaced by amateur hour?
The world, as Nick Bilton-with tongue-in-cheek-shows, has been going to hell for a long, long time, and what we are experiencing is the 21st-century version of the fear that always takes hold as new technology replaces the old. In fact, as Bilton shows, the digital era we are part of is, in all its creative and disruptive forms, the foundation for exciting and engaging experiences not only for business but society as well.
Both visionary and practical, I Live in the Future & Here's How It Works captures the zeitgeist of an emerging age, providing the understanding of how a radically changed media world is influencing human behavior.
What's Mine Is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption
Rachel Botsman and Roo Rogers
HarperBusiness
Hardcover, Paperback, Ebook
The recent changes in our economic landscape have notably exposed and intensified a phenomenon: an explosion in sharing, bartering, lending, trading, renting, gifting, and swapping. From enormous marketplaces such as eBay and craigslist to emerging sectors such as peer-to-peer lending (Zopa) and car sharing (Zipcar), collaborative consumption is disrupting outdated modes of business and reinventing not only what we consume but how we consume.
While ranging enormously in scale and purpose, these companies and organizations are redefining how goods and services are exchanged, valued, and created-in areas as diverse as finance and travel, agriculture and technology, education and retail. Traveling among global entrepreneurs and pioneers and exploring rising ventures as well as established companies adapting to these opportunities, the authors outline in bold and imaginative ways how collaborative consumption may very well change the world.

An anticipated catastrophic end has been put to the story of Canada's major QuadrigaCX Exchange, as the firm has been declared 'bankrupt' by the Apex Canadian Court, Nova Scotia Supreme.
Gerald Cotten, the CEO of QuadrigaCX met with an unexpected death in India earlier this year and with that came the loss of the cryptocurrencies of the 115,000 users stored in Cotten's cold wallet. As per the statements of Cotten's wife and the Exchange, the cold wallets which held the user and company assets were owned and managed solely by the deceased Exchange CEO.
On February 5, creditor protection was granted by the Supreme Court with Ernst and Young being appointed as an independent Monitor to look into the assets and funds of the non-operational Exchange. On January 28, all operations were suspended by the Exchange after which creditor protection was filed on the 30th of January.
Apparently, the bankruptcy was approved by Nova Scotia Supreme Court Justice Michael Wood, following Ernst & Young's recommendation for it to be declared bankrupt earlier this month.
It appears that Cotten's personal assets have been mixed with the assets of the Exchange in his wallets. Reportedly, use of QuadrigaCX Exchange funds might have been made to purchase assets which are 'not a part of the corporate entity'.
The Apex Canadian court has been appealed to, by Ernst and Young for the preservation of Cotten's personal assets for protection of the investors while the Exchange has been shut down. Jennifer Robertson, the widow of Cotten is also under the effect of the Court's order and will be unable to transfer, remove or sell any asset that she is currently holding. Although, leverage has been provided to her by the court for covering legal expenses from two bank accounts which are being monitored.
Ernst and Young Co. will be bestowed with better powers as a trustee and a monitor of the funds of the Exchange, Post-bankruptcy, under Federal Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.
Ernst and Young have produced reports which state that in user withdrawals, an amount over $70 million has been pending with payment processors including gateways like banks and third-party units. For the pending withdrawals, the payment processors and the Monitor- Ernst and Young have purportedly reached an impasse.
A joint decision will be required from the two parties before April 18 as per the Court orders. The estimated amount of loss is near to $150 million, and the recovery of this amount will be made from the assets of the deceased owner and reserved assets of the Exchange.
Law firms Cox & Palmer and Miller Thomson who represented Quadriga legally have formed an Official Committee for the Affected Users of the exchange in late March. All the affected users will be helped with their representation against QuadrigaCX in the court proceedings.


Everyone in the world knows about Whatsapp, so there is no need to elucidate that. Telegram, on the other hand, is not as popular as Whatsapp is. But that doesn't mean it's any less than Whatsapp. Maybe it is even better than Whatsapp. Disagree? Telegram and Whatsapp – which one is better? Well, there is only one way to find that out, and that is to read the article down below!
If Telegram is better, or so I say, then why the heck is Whatsapp the most popular instant messaging app? Why does it have over a billion active monthly users? The answer to that question is pretty simple. The reason Whatsapp has over a billion downloads on the Play Store is that it was launched way back in August of 2010 when the then Android Market was less than a couple of years old itself. Therefore, it wouldn't be wrong of me to say that Whatsapp has been here from the very beginning of Android itself. Telegram, although a fairly good competitor came into existence in 2013 when Whatsapp already had around 400 million active users.
The name alone is sufficient. Some of the features include Self-Destruct Messages, that too with an End-to-End encryption.
One can share files up to 1.5 GB on Telegram.
You can chat on Telegram from multiple devices, which means that you can chat on one device and continue chatting on another.
Telegram groups can have up to 10,000 members, which are extremely powerful tools of communication.
With Telegram, you can send amusing stickers to your friends and family and have fun!
One can secure a particular chat with a safe and secure Password or a PIN to protect your messages from prying eyes. You can also turn off your last seen for particular contacts.
Ever sent someone a message by mistake? Well now with Telegram you can edit the messages you accidentally sent to someone.
Aren't all these features pretty cool? Now you can see when it comes to features Telegram wins by a clear margin.
But when it comes to security, Whatsapp would be my pick over Telegram mainly because of its End-to-End encryption. Telegram, however also does offer End-to-End encryption but only in Secret chats and not in general chats.
In general chats, Telegram uses MTP Mobile Protocol which is safe but not as safe when compared to something like an End-to-End encryption. However, Telegram is open-source which means that one can look up its source-code for any security flaws. Reportedly, Telegram has offered $200,000 to anyone who might be able to crack its security protocol.
Whatsapp supports internet based calls which can be used in areas of low cellular signals. Recently, Whatsapp has also launched Video-Calling facility with which you can Video-Call any person available in your Whatsapp contact list.
Unlike Telegram, Whatsapp gives us detailed information about messages. For example, it shows when a message has been read by the receiver. In a group, we can hold a message and press the "i" icon and check for who among the group has read the message, and to whom it has been delivered to.
Well, that's about it for Whatsapp over Telegram.
With all this, we can come to the conclusion that Telegram is more feature rich but Whatsapp has an edge over it due to its enormous user-base.
Well, that's all I have to say about it. We would love to know your opinion, so please leave us a comment down below.
I checked it just now Telegram does support calls I will edit it asap.
You're welcome. Thank you! Liked your article anyway. Although I am sure that there are more perks to Telegram when it comes to its channels and multi-user chats, especially if you consider how Telegram has become the de-facto main medium in Iran and is gaining popularity in Russia for the (almost) same reasons. Think of it as Twitter without the 140-character limit and with the ability to edit your messages within some time limit.
Yup you're right! Telegram is far ahead of Whatsapp when it comes to features.
So why does it take a week to edit the post? I guess, you'll do it exactly when everybody reads the first version and the article goes away from the first page.
I have updated the article and i certainly hope that you like it!
I don't see any update. The article still states that WhatsApp supports calls while Telegram doesn't.
You need to read it again. I never said that Telegram doesn't support calls.
I have updated the article. I changed the word "exclusive" with superior thus changing the meaning of sentence.

Q: Why does QGIS load an image icon in layers panel when WFS layer load fails? I'm trying to load WFS layers from a GeoServer and having trouble. It works in MapInfo but in QGIS the layer name appears in the layers panel but with an image icon
The layer doesn't load correctly and I've checked the responses from the server using the Network Activity plugin; they all appear to be valid.
What are the reasons why QGIS may load a layer in this way as knowing the answer may help me to understand why the application doesn't seem to work with our particular GeoServer WFS service?

A: So I think the answer to the question is that the icon is displayed when QGIS detects the geometry type as geometry (or unknown to put it another way).
The solution for me was to use the 'Geometry metadata table' to define the geometry type and then QGIS loads the layers correctly.
GeoServer documentation for defining geometry types in Oracle stores.
My layers do not appear to actually work but that will be a different question from the one I asked.

I have and always will be a Beatles fan. They shaped the way I listened to music. Those four dudes from Liverpool and all the people they worked for (and worked for them), were managed by, were married to, and gave birth to feel like family. Naturally when I got married back in 1998, I danced with my husband to a Beatles song. In My Life, one of the most beautiful love songs ever written.
So what happens when that marriage ends? Does this ruin the song? The nostalgic meaning behind it? I can't help but remember dancing & singing, looking at my then hubby, while my guests blew bubbles at us. It was romantic! But now I almost feel guilty when In My Life starts playing. Part of me wants to look at my partner of almost twelve years, because obviously, the lyrics are more appropriate in his case. But I don't want to diminish the memory. Sure, me and the ex-husband didn't work out, but at the time, that song was REAL. But….. who wants a sloppy seconds love song?
Look, we can't control our feelings when we hear certain tunes. I'll just be happy that I had a chance to use In My Life in that way. But what about you people? Did you have a special song with your former love that you still enjoy even after that relationship has gone kaputsy? Do share!
In Your Eyes, by Peter Gabriel.
Now, this person isn't exactly an ex. We never officially were a couple, on the record. We are actually still the best of friends, but certain series of events happened and we didn't end up with each other. I would classify it a one of those "one that got away" scenarios.
Anyway, he is my Lloyd Dobler. He would randomly show up at my place with a cup of coffee and a smile and it really was the sweetest thing.
Melodies and lyrics have a unique way of threading themselves through the fibers of our very souls. Once woven in it can't be completely undone-wonderful and difficult. But, that is the beauty of music. It's emotional connections transport us to the first point of origin. If the association is no longer a positive one, we can always try restringing the melody. If it's not practical to do so, enjoy the song for what it meant at the time. The song is still beautiful as was that time in your life.
ps Although, whenever I hear the song, Love Hurts by Nazareth, despite the song's sad overtones, I think something good is going to happen. i can't recall when I made that association.
Howie Day's "Collide." I am leaving that song behind with the ******* ex.


The history of modern Spain is complex. Over periods encompassing many centuries, battles on the Iberian Peninsula for land and power raged between Christians and Muslims. Often conflicts also occurred between Christians as well as among different groups of Muslims.
Food, celebrations, cultural influences, and other facets of life blended or changed. As the powerful changed, so did the architecture of the day.
The period between 711 AD and 1492 AD is a time of significant upheaval in Spain. The architecture of this period reflects this turbulence in Andalucía in southern Spain. There the new architecture often built onto that of preceding rulers.
This story is about the architectural influences in southern Spain.
Having lived in Andalusia in the southern part of Spain, I was aware of history of Phoenicians, Romans, Moors, historical events related to the Reconquest, etc…. I wasn't quite sure what to expect when traveling north to the Galician city of Lugo.
Journeying all day by train, olive trees gave way to evergreens and flat land became more extreme with high hills, small snow-capped mountains, and very rocky terrain. My observations, although interesting, were not my motivation to go to Lugo, however.
I had learned about the 1700 year old, completely intact, Roman city wall constructed in Lugo. The wall is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it was my principle attraction to the city.
It is "Dia de Reyes" (Three Kings Day) in Spain and I knew it wasn't going to be easy to find a morning coffee on this holiday. I was somehow drawn to a British bar, the "Oasis" in Mijas Pueblo. I have been to the Oasis in the past for their soup in prior travels to the town.
Today I observed that they were abierto (open) as I saw the sign for coffee and brandy for 2.50 Euros. Not particularly excited about the contemplation of rather poor brandy, I wanted the coffee at midday.
I am a very discerning eater as many will tell you. As you may know, my ancestors have descended from nobility where they roamed the hills on the Iberian Peninsula and flourished by foraging for their (and my) favorite foods.
To this day our feasts include rare delights and delicacies appropriate for our station in life. This is my story about my family's life in central Spain near La Alberca.
In a few days I will have an anniversary marking three years since I began my European adventures. When I began my exploration I also started to create my blog. I think of my blog not only as a journal of my discoveries but also as a place to remember the stories I have heard, the people I have met, and the cultural differences which I have encountered.
I maintain my blog for myself so I can enjoy reliving memories from the many places I have visited. However, I have shared my blog with everyone and I can't help but notice that people in 61 countries have read at least one of the 75 stories I have written. I hope that you, my readers, enjoy the glimpse into my life and my explorations.
This story is different from others I have written. I always try to add several photos into my stories to help bring memories alive. I have also noticed that I have a significant collection of photos from the past three years that have not been posted. So, this story is all about the faces I have encountered over the past three years.
I recently blogged about my adventure when I participated in "Pueblo Ingles." I reserved my comments in that blog to my observations about the English immersion program and the students. However, there is more to my story about the nearby medieval Spanish town of La Alberca. This blog entry is about my exploration of that tiny Spanish town and my adventure there.
Located at an elevation of 1084 meters, the town with a population of around 1100 is rather isolated in La Sierra de Francia mountains close to the northern border with Portugal. The principle product in this region is delicious Iberian Jamon (ham) which is produced in the area from black Iberian pigs that grow fat eating acorns. This diet gives the ham a very special, enjoyable flavor that is savored by Spaniards as well as those from around the world who are fortunate to experience it. Hams are seen in several shops in La Alberca hanging from the ceilings.
During my explorations of Spain I have visited several Spanish communities and blogged about Cordoba, Granada, Ronda, Canary Islands, and Mijas Pueblo. As I walked the narrow cobblestone streets of La Alberca I was taken aback by the distinctive architecture of this community in comparison to the others I mentioned. While Cordoba and Granada are colorful and reflective of an integration of Moorish design and Mijas is a spectacular white, traditional Spanish pueblo, La Alberca, founded in the 1300's, is dark and has a somewhat French feel. It is one of the best preserved Spanish towns of the period.
The half timbered buildings surrounding the Plaza Mayor and nearby narrow streets and alleyways are different as their materials come from the quarries and forests of the mountains. The town goes to great lengths to retain its medieval charm.
The Knights Templar had a presence in La Alberca. Today there are myths and legends about the "monk soldiers" who participated in the crusades and provided safe passage for pilgrims to the holy land. On the Iberian peninsula they also created a strong trading infrastructure, a banking system, and fought for the Spanish kings in the reconquest of Spain from the Muslims.
The town of La Alberca has a tourist interest as it is preserved in its architecture, food, and customs. For those exploring Spain it is a welcome transition into the Middle Ages from the modern communities of Spain and Portugal.
The next stop in my exploration adventure is Romania where I will be searching for Dracula. Stay tuned!
Although I write my blog for myself, I also recognize that a growing number of people from all over the world are now following it. If you would like to receive my blogs in your email as I post them, please enter your address where indicated on the right side of this page. If you have a reply about my blog, please use the link at the top of this story to let me know.

5 Haircuts Celebrity Hairstylists
Beauty, Fashion, Home
Not surprisingly, they had some iconic, leap-of-faith ideas up their sleeves. Ahead, 5 haircuts celebrity hairstylists think you should try in your lifetime—keep scrolling for the ultimate inspiration board in their own words.
1. The Gwyneth
"To me, this was the true, original lob look: blunt, blonde, and laser-straight. The blunt ends have the ability to thicken fine, chemically processed hair for a chic, collarbone-grazing haircut that's a total head-turner." — Brianna Colette, senior stylist at 901 Salon
2. The Romantic Fringe
"Seriously, fringe. Like retro awesomeness, classic '70s rock and roll–inspired fringe. Plus, the versatility of a good fringe haircut makes a dirty hair day so much better. The trick is to not over-layer the hair around the face, which keeps the fringe as the main focal point. It's a great cut for enhancing the eyes and cheekbones and is reminiscent of iconic stars like Jane Birkin, Kate Moss, and Brigitte Bardot." — Tim Dueñas, master stylist at 901 Salon
3. The Twiggy
"A quintessential, classically short style. This haircut is cropped in the back with a heavier, sweeping fringe in the front. Although it was made infamous by Twiggy, we've seen it re-created on Michelle Williams, Anne Hathaway, P!nk, and Rihanna. It's so daring and liberating to chop it all off, but keeping it longer in the front makes for an effortless grow-out period." — Brianna
4. The Glamour Goddess
"To be honest, this haircut is probably one of the most sought-after looks, and I think all women should have glamorous length at some point in their lifetime—a long, layered haircut with body and style. This look is the iconic vision of luscious. If you don't have all the hair needed to pull this off, don't fret. There are a lot of options—from clip-ins to halo extensions—which are amazing alternatives for lending an extra dose of volume to limper strands." — Tim
5. The Windswept Layers
"I like to call this The Rosie. It's a medium-length haircut that's great for thick, textured, and/or wavy hair. The addition of lots of layers helps encourage movement and will simultaneously lighten up heavy hair which might be easily weighed down otherwise. Then, barely there, long and sweeping fringe keeps it interesting." — Brianna

- How might the Singapore society differ were it not for these technologies – would the society be more or less heavily regulated. Lee recommends analysing politics and society by addressing how power struggles and relations were played out in the pre-Internet era, namely the maintenance of political control via public support (2005: 74). Foucault defines 'governmentality' as the point of contact where the technologies of power interact with the governed. This spurs Lee to postulate that, in order to retain power in the Internet era, 'governments need to be actively involved in shaping the design as well as the societal, cultural and regulatory environment in which the Internet and other new...

In his office at the Terran Import Bureau of Standards, the tall man gathered up the morning's memos from their wire basket, and, seating himself at his desk, arranged them for reading. He put on his iris lenses, lit a cigarette.
Wiseman ran his thumb down to the speaker's name and title.
It seemed like a long time that the testing labs had been on them. At least two weeks.
Of course, any Ganymedean products got special attention these days; the Moons had, during the last year, gotten beyond their usual state of economic greed and had begun — according to intelligence circles — mulling overt military action against competitive interest, of which the Inner Three planets could be called the foremost element. But so far nothing had shown up. Exports remained of adequate quality, with no special jokers, no toxic paint to be licked off, no capsules of bacteria.
Any group of people as inventive as the Ganymedeans could be expected to show creativity in whatever field they entered. Subversion would be tackled like any other venture — with imagination and a flair for wit.
Wiseman got to his feet and left his office, in the direction of the separate building in which the testing labs operated.
Surrounded by half-disassembled consumers' products, Pinario looked up to see his boss, Leon Wiseman, shutting the final door of the lab.
"I'm glad you came down," Pinario said, although actually he was stalling; he knew that he was at least five days behind in his work, and this session was going to mean trouble. "Better put on a prophylaxis suit — don't want to take risks." He spoke pleasantly, but Wiseman's expression remained dour.
"I'm here about those inner-citadel-storming shock troops at six dollars a set," Wiseman said, strolling among the stacks of many-sized unopened products waiting to be tested and released.

The Euro exceeded 81 ruble
Moscow. September 10. INTERFAX.RU – the Euro in the course of trading on the "Moscow stock exchange" on Monday exceeded 81 rubles/EUR1 for the first time since March 1, 2016 amid continuing flight of investors from the Russian assets under pressure of the risk of sanctions and low interest in all assets of the emerging markets.
The Euro was 81,07 rubles/EUR1 at 13:01 GMT, which is 27 cents higher than the previous auction closing. The US dollar to this point was worth 70,0525 rubles/$1, having appreciated by 14 cents. The bi-currency basket ($0.55 and EUR0,45) rose 20 cents to 75.01 of the ruble.
According to experts of "Interfax-CEA", the ruble declines against the dollar and the Euro during trading on Monday, amid persisting fears of ads in the near future new anti-Russian sanctions by the US and the ongoing sales at the sites of emerging markets, among which the most currency sharply depreciates the Turkish Lira by more than 1% in all major currency pairs, including 1.2% to the dollar.
In addition, a negative on all of the assets of the emerging economies affected by fears of a possible escalation of tensions in relations between China and the United States. The President of the United States, Donald trump told reporters on Friday that he is ready to impose duties on additional imports of Chinese goods in the amount of $267 billion a year. He added that American authorities are getting ready for the introduction of previously announced duties on products from China for another $200 billion Thus, taking into account measures already taken almost all of the supplies from China, may be under new rates.

Lucas DiPasquale is no stranger to us over here at Verge, so we're pretty excited to be able to premiere a brand new video from the Canadian star – and it's a special one!
'Come Home' is the latest track to be lifted from his 'Post Secondary' EP and given the visual treatment.
The video for 'Come Home' was shot in the UK, Canada and Jamaica – which further backs up the cultural fusion of Lucas' music. Despite the song being about missing friends and family back home, the Summery visuals and Reggaeton vibes from the track give us nothing but good feels. With a guest appearance on the track and a video feature from Assassin aka Agent Sasco, in the video we follow them on their lives on the road as artists – meeting new people and visiting cool new places.
Lucas first started turning heads as an artist when he uploaded an acoustic mash-up of hits by Popcaan which turned him into a viral star. It was the unsuspecting cultural clash, fusion of musical inspirations and his pinpoint-accurate Patois that had us all intrigued and quickly saw his fan base explode.
We've got a feeling that this is going to be a pretty dope year for Lucas DiPasquale!
