(U)NITY Guarapachanga vinyl at Juno Records.
The New York-based (U)nity is made up of Michael Valeanu, Axel Tosca Laugart, Chris Smith, Max Cudworth and Amaury Acosta. They formed the band in 2006 as a project to explore Afro-Cuban jazz, funk, soul and contemporary electronica. They say they've been influenced by everyone from Chucho Valdes to Art Blakey to Led Zeppelin to Kendrick Lamar, and you can definitely hear all of that in this jawdropping work. "Guarapachanga" is special in that it was the first song written by the band back in their days as music students at The New School. It's derived from the style known as guarapachangeo - the most advanced form of Cuban rumba, heavily improvisational and based on very complex rhythms and melodies. On this recording, (U)nity is graced with a guest performance by Grammy Award winner Pedrito Martinez, a master rumbero, one of the greatest conga players ever, an innovator who has left a permanent mark on Cuban music. Martinez is also a priest in the Yoruba religion and a historian of Cuban culture.


Because Episcura is a stock image site, our goal was to present people with captivating images immediately upon landing at the site, in a simple, clear way.
To accomplish this we created a near full screen image slider that contains information allowing the user to immediately register and/or start browsing images. It also allowed us the opportunity to announce new content and features. Additionally, we included the ability to create unique slides for new vs. registered users. Each slide has built in options for type options/placement but can be further customized with HTML/CSS.
Aside from creating a visually interesting grid layout for displaying our images, users have the ability to add an image to a project by either dragging and dropping into their lightbox project, or clicking folder icon at the bottom of an image and selecting the project directly. The user can also download the image in various sizes, view other images in it's set, or confirm that the image is tileable if the option is available.
Circular category navigation eludes to circular iconography throughout the site.
Lightbox with tabbed projects along the top. Each project is shareable. Users also have the ability to switch to the downloads tab and view their image download history with filters by date and image category.

New activity enhances Diehl's global footprint, particularly in the US
After initiating its presence in Charleston, South Carolina (USA), in early 2018, Diehl Aviation has now expanded its range of services at the site: Diehl has started with warehousing and kitting for its cabin lighting products from Diehl Aerospace, supporting the delivery process of these shipsets from manufacturing sites in Germany to Boeing's Interiors Responsibility Center (IRC) at the OEM's site in Charleston. This new package in Charleston is complementing the same service that Diehl is offering out of its facility in the Seattle area to the Boeing IRC in Everett, Washington (USA), since February 2011.
Diehl's new service package includes warehousing in a dedicated stock location and kitting according to requirements as specified by Boeing, as well as just-in-time deliveries and on-site-support (OSS) at its site in close proximity to Boeing's IRC and final assembly line facilities in Charleston, SC. The new service is complementing the Diehl OSS in Charleston, introduced in 2018, which is looking after just-in-time support for Diehl products at Boeing's final assembly line on-site.
Diehl Aviation is supplying Boeing with cabin interiors lighting products for most commercial aircraft programs, as well as cabin lining packages and supporting sub-structures for the 787-10 Dreamliner.
The upgrade in the services range offered out of Charleston is enhancing Diehl's global industrial footprint, particularly in North America: A Customer Support Center (CSC) in Sterrett (Alabama) is serving customers' needs in the Americas since 1987, in addition to other CSCs in Toulouse (France) and Singapore for the rest of the world. A representation in Everett near Seattle, Washington is covering both a commercial liaison office and OSS services. Diehl's OSS organization for the Americas also covers offices close to customers' final assembly lines in Mobile, Alabama (USA), and Montreal (Canada).
Diehl Aviation is a division of Diehl Stiftung & Co. KG and combines all aviation activities of Diehl Group under one roof. In the aviation industry, Diehl Aviation – including Diehl Aerospace (a joint venture with Thales) – is a leading system supplier of aircraft system and cabin solutions. Diehl Aviation currently has around 6,000 employees. Its clients include leading aircraft manufacturers Airbus (both airplanes and helicopters), Boeing, Bombardier and Embraer, as well as airlines and operators of commercial and business aircraft.

BOSTON, MA – Unable to settle a decades-long debate among themselves, orthopods at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have swallowed their pride and consulted their internal medicine colleagues to help them spell their specialty: is it orthopedics or orthopaedics?
Hammersley refers to 1994 when orthopods divided themselves into one of two factions: the No A and Pro A groups. Hundreds of orthopedic surgeons sustained career-ending injuries as they tried to settle their differences over arm-wrestling matches, push-up contests, and other feats of strength. A truce was called, however, saving scores of biceps on the agreed upon condition: they would just be called Ortho, leaving off the other syllables, until future generations can resolve the issue for good.
"For orthopods like me, it's the giant elephant in the room," continued Hammersley, eagerly refreshing his computer, hoping a Medicine consult note has been completed, even though he just called the consult eight minutes ago. "After all these years, I think we need an answer. I tried to figure it out myself but after the second syllable things kind of got fuzzy and I needed to sit down.


Fetal size: crown-rump 30cm (12 inches), crown-toe 43cm (19.4 inches). Fetal weight: 2 kg (4.4 pounds).
Until Week 20, your baby spent most of its time in a wakeful state. Between Weeks 20 and 28, he/she started to have periods of activity and quiet. After Week 28 your baby started to experience active sleep (eyes and body moving, heart rate speeding up then slowing down, facial expressions changing, and changing breathing patterns). From Week 28 onwards, it is likely that your baby starts to develop a pattern of deep sleep and active sleep. During the active sleep periods, your baby's brain undergoes stimulation, which probably helps it to mature.
Up to and including Week 33, your weight gain should be between 10 and 12.5 kilos (22-28 pounds). You may start to gain weight faster from this week on, as your baby also grows very rapidly at this time.
It's important to keep eating well, and to ensure that you don't skip any meals. You will probably need to eat smaller meals more frequently due to the lack of space in your abdomen and the incidence of heartburn.
At this stage of your pregnancy, you may find that your vaginal discharge has increased. You may also leak small amounts of urine due to increased pressure on your bladder. If you are concerned that you are leaking more fluid than you should be, or if you have had a gush of water, visit your health care professional to ensure that your membranes haven't ruptured.
As you become more uncomfortable, it's only natural to wonder about the comfort of your baby. Your baby will let you know if it is uncomfortable in the womb, probably by moving about and elbowing and kicking you! Other than a lack of space, your baby is probably quite comfortable in the womb, enjoying the warmth and muffled sounds in utero.

Dough Rolls Out to Fight 'Engineered' Label on Food
By Julie Jargon And Ian Berry
Updated Oct. 25, 2012 7:41 pm ET
Big U.S. food companies appear to be making headway in their heavily financed push to defeat a ballot measure to make California the first state requiring labels for genetically modified foods.
Kraft Foods Group Inc., Coca Cola Co., Monsanto Co. and other food and agriculture giants have poured more than $40.9 million into a campaign to persuade California voters to reject Proposition 37 on Nov. 6, according to the California secretary of state.

All PLC courses
Because programmable logic controllers remove the human element from monitoring complex industrial machinery, the skills to program them are in high demand. A PLC programming education from Udemy is essential for industrial designers, and vital for entrepreneurs in other fields where automation is advantageous.

Learn more about PLC
Modern automation wouldn't be the same without programmable logic controllers. PLCs are ruggedized computers that constantly monitor sensor input to control output, and play an integral role in everything from assembly lines, to roller coasters, to lighting systems.
What are Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC)?
A programmable logic controller or PLC is a solid-state computer designed for the manufacturing industry. PLCs monitor the information they get back from input devices and then make decisions based on that state. Those input devices that the PLC devices monitor are attached to industrial machines used in manufacturing processes. The PLC can adjust the way these machines operate based on this feedback. PLCs started replacing relay logic systems in the 1960s, as they are more reliable and easier to troubleshoot than the older relay-based system. Because of the harsh environments where PLCs must operate, their design is rugged enough to withstand extreme temperatures and shock. They are also programmable and modular, so technicians can tweak a manufacturing process with code and apply the same change elsewhere by just copying its code.
What is the structure of a PLC?
The core of a PLC is the CPU or central processing unit. This consists of more than just the main microprocessor. It also contains the memory chip for the device and any other integrated circuits required for its operation. You will usually find it close to the PLC's power supply. The power supply converts the current coming into the device to the voltage levels required for the CPU and other components. Other main parts of a PLC include the input module and the output module. The input module encodes the signals coming from sensors that monitor equipment into data the CPU can use. Once the data is available, the output module translates the signals coming from the CPUs to the output devices. A PLC will also have a bus system to handle digital signal flow inside the device and a rack or rail that the PLC mounts on.
What is SCADA?
SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. It is a system of software and hardware that an industrial enterprise can use to control manufacturing processes both on-site and from remote locations. With SCADA, you can monitor and process real-time data coming from industrial processes and directly interact with these remote devices with human-machine interface software. In fact, you can observe and record every step of the manufacturing process. The resulting data is useful for modifying processes for better efficiency in the future. A SCADA system begins with PLCs that connect to factory equipment and sensors. The PLCs collect data that routes to central computers running SCADA software. The SCADA software processes this data and distributes commands back to the PLCs.
What programming languages are used in PLC programming?
You can use five common programming languages in PLCs. The most commonly used is ladder logic, or ladder diagram (LD), a graphical PLC programming language. It is structured to be like relay logic, replacing the switches and coils used by physical relays with PLC memory locations and input/output modules. Sequential function charts (SFC) is another language compatible with PLC. You'll notice that it resembles a flowchart that has multiple branches. The third PLC language is function block diagram (FBD). This one is a graphical language like LD and uses blocks to represent functions with lines connecting them. Structured text (ST), the fourth language, is a text-based language like Basic, Pascal, or C. ST is powerful and can do more low-level processing than the graphical options. Last on the list is instruction list (IL), which is also textual and is even more low level resembling the Assembly Language.
How does a PLC operate?
Programmable logic controllers, or PLCs, operate in a loop that involves four steps. Details of each step will be unique depending on the system. This process starts with an input scan. The PLC scans all inputs to detect the state of all the devices connected to the system. After that comes the program scan. During this step, any custom logic written for the PLC will execute. The purpose of this logic is to make decisions based on the input data from the devices and then complete step three in the process. Step three is the output scan. At this point, the result of the custom logic makes adjustments to the output devices connected to the PLC. The fourth and final step of the PLC loop is the housekeeping step. This step includes garbage collection, internal diagnostics, and other processes, so the next loop starts cleanly.
What are the 4 main components of a PLC?
The four main components of a programmable logic controller include the CPU, the power supply, the input module, and the output module. CPUs are the processing unit of the PLC and consist of a microprocessor, memory chip, and other integrated circuits to control logic and monitoring. The power supply converts the power coming into the PLC to the required voltage level for the device. You can think of input modules as the interface between the sensors that monitor equipment and the CPU, while output modules are the bridge between the CPU and the output devices. Additional parts might include the rack it mounts to and the device for programming it, which can be a standard PC with specialized software installed or a custom programming unit. It all depends on how you define parts of a PLC.

Welcome Lydia!!
FIFA names woman to executive committee for first time
BUDAPEST (Reuters) -- FIFA co-opted a woman to its executive committee for the first time on Tuesday and continued its reform process by pressing ahead with changes to its ethics committee.
Lydia Nsekera, the president of the Burundi Football Association, will be installed as the co-opted executive committee member at the 62nd FIFA Congress this week with the formal election of a woman on the committee to follow at next year's Congress, soccer's governing body said in a statement.
Nsekera, 45, is a member of the women's football and the women's World Cup committees and is also on the organising committee for the Olympic Football Tournaments having been part of the IOC since 2009. ...
See the whole story here, from SI.
Kicking Back Comments: It would be sad to think that this move came out of exclusively an effort to reform, and not also out of a sense to include someone who is deserving to be an EXCOM member. She is president of the Fédération de Football du Burundi since 2004, and has been a member of the International Olympic Committee since 2009. Far more credentialed than some others who currently hold a seat.
Either way, I'll take it, as it is a step in the right direction.

Princess Haya is 'fully' justified in fearing her children will be snatched, judge says
Posted on October 7, 2021 by ELIZABETH MILES
Princess Haya is 'fully' justified in fearing her children will be snatched from their English country home by their sheikh father's henchmen in a helicopter, High Court judge says
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, PM of the United Arab Emirates, poses a 'very significant threat' to his ex-wife and Al Jalila, 13, and Zayed, nine
He could abduct them as he did their half sisters, princesses Shamsa and Latifa
Shamsa was kidnapped at gunpoint in Cambridgeshire in August 2000
Latifa was taken by commandos from a yacht when she tried to flee in 2018
By Sam Greenhill and Vanessa Allen for the Daily Mail
Published: 17:02 EDT, 6 October 2021 | Updated: 19:51 EDT, 6 October 2021
Princess Haya is 'fully' justified in fearing her children will be snatched from their English country home by their father's henchmen using a helicopter, a judge said.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, poses a 'very significant threat' to his ex-wife and Al Jalila, 13, and Zayed, nine.
And he could abduct them as he did their half-sisters Princess Shamsa and Princess Latifa.
Shamsa was kidnapped at gunpoint in Cambridgeshire in August 2000 after she ran away from the family's Longcross estate in Surrey.
She was sedated and whisked out of the UK by helicopter.
At risk: Princess Haya with children Al Jalila, 13 and Zayed, 9 who a judge has said could be abducted by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, prime minister of the United Arab Emirates
Incredibly, a kidnap investigation by Cambridgeshire Police was allegedly shut down by Foreign Office ministers as a favour to the oil-rich nation.
Then when Shamsa's sister Latifa tried to flee Dubai in 2018, her 'coercive and controlling father' sent commandos to abduct her from her getaway yacht, the court has found. She was taken back to Dubai.
Now a judge ruled that Haya has good reason to fear both for her own life and that her ex-husband's bid to acquire the neighbouring estate to her Castlewood mansion in Berkshire was 'part of a plan aimed ultimately at the abduction of the children and causing harm to me'.
Sir Andrew McFarlane, the president of the High Court's family division, claimed that Sheikh Mohammed had waged a campaign of fear and intimidation against his ex-wife.
He added: 'In circumstances when it takes but a moment to snatch a child from a garden or a country lane… the need to prevent the father, or those acting on his behalf, from coming close to the mother's property is, in my view, fully made out.'
He also said that Haya firmly believed that, 'were he to spot an opportunity to do so, the father would not hesitate to attempt to abduct the two children in order to repatriate them to Dubai.
Caught at sea: Princess Latifa tried to flee but was captured by commandos on a yacht in 2018
Held at gunpoint: Princess Shamsa, who was kidnapped at gunpoint in Cambridgeshire in August 2000 after she ran away from the family's Longcross estate in Surrey
She also believes that her own life and wellbeing are at extreme risk because her actions have greatly angered the father.'
The judge added: 'When Sheikha Shamsa was abducted from Cambridge in August 2000, she was driven to one of his properties in Newmarket before being taken by helicopter to France, where she was put on a private plane and flown to Dubai.'
Against that background, he said Haya was therefore 'justified' in regarding Sheikh Mohammed's attempt to buy the property next door as 'a very significant threat to her security, both in terms of providing an opportunity for 24-hour close surveillance and as a close to hand transport hub for a helicopter'.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (left) hacked phones to snoop on his runway wife Princess Haya (right) after she fled to London, the High Court has found
The Sheikh's associates secretly tried to snap up English manor house Parkwood on 'the most expensive field in Britain', the HIgh Court heard
One of Haya's QCs, Tim Otty, told the judge: 'The children are exposed to grave risk.
'By grave risk, I mean that fate suffered by Sheikha Shamsa and Sheikha Latifa.'
Charles Geekie QC added that the judge hardly needed reminding that hacking Latifa's phone had led to her being tracked down and abducted as she tried to flee for a new life in the West.
The court has also heard that Sheikh Mohammed's right-hand man, Mohammed Ibrahim Al Shaibani – who was 'at the heart' of the Shamsa kidnapping – is still his key aide and was involved in the attempted purchase of Parkwood.

Children undergoing minor operations at Sandwell Hospital will be driven to surgery in mini-motors.
Sandwell Hospital in West Bromwich has taken delivery of two remote controlled sit-in cars, kindly donated by Halfords in Oldbury.
Youngsters will be strapped into the white Mercedes and will enjoy a ride up to the operating theatre where they'll undergo their procedure. The car will be controlled by one of the play specialists and nurses.
Mum-of-two Sundeep, 28, said: "This is a wonderful idea. Gavy wasn't really looking forward to coming into hospital, but when he saw the car, it definitely put him at ease.
The idea to introduce the £150 cars into the Children's Ward, came from the hospital's Your Trust Charity.
Fundraising Manager Amanda Winwood, who had seen them being used in a hospital in America.
She said: "I wanted to introduce the cars to our hospital so it would make the experience of being in hospital or having surgery a little bit better for our younger patients.
Jez Jones, Matron for Acute Paediatrics, said: "It will be really exciting for children to have a more fun-filled journey in one of these cars when they are going into theatre, rather than being pushed on a trolley.
Watch Gavy take a ride up to surgery at Sandwell Hospital, where he had a tooth removed.

Ubuntu 19.04 "Disco Dingo" Released, Eclipse Foundation's 2019 IoT Developer Survey Results, OpenSSH 8.0 Now Available, digiKam 6.1.0 Is Out and Three New openSUSE Tumbleweeds Released
by Jill Franklin
News briefs for April 18, 2019.
Canonical this morning announced the release of Ubuntu 19.04 "Disco Dingo". According to the press release, Ubuntu 19.04 is "on open infrastructure deployments, the developer desktop, IoT, and cloud to edge software distribution". Of the release, Canonical CEO Mark Shuttleworth says, "The open-source-first on Ubuntu movement in telco, finance, and media has spread to other sectors. From the public cloud to the private data center to the edge appliance or cluster, open source has become the reference for efficiency and innovation. Ubuntu 19.04 includes the leading projects to underpin that transition, and the developer tooling to accelerate the applications for those domains". You can download Ubuntu 19.04 from here.
The Eclipse Foundation yesterday released its 2019 IoT Developer Survey. More than 1,700 developers participated in the survey about their IoT efforts. Some results: "IoT Cloud Platforms (34%), Home Automation (27%), and Industrial Automation / IIoT (26%) were the respondents' three most common industry focus areas", and "The top three CPU architectures for constrained devices used by respondents were ARM-based, with significant use of niche 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit MCUs." You can read the full survey results here.
OpenSSH 8.0 was released yesterday. You can get it from the mirrors here. The release has several new features and fixes a weakness with scp: "when copying files from a remote system to a local directory, scp(1) did not verify that the filenames that the server sent matched those requested by the client. This could allow a hostile server to create or clobber unexpected local files with attacker-controlled content. This release adds client-side checking that the filenames sent from the server match the command-line request."
digiKam 6.1.0 was released this week with several new features and fixes. It includes a new plugins interface called "DPlugins", and two new plugins: a plugin to copy items to local storage and a plugin to set an image as Linux desktop wallpaper. Go here for download links.
Three new openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshots were released recently with updated packages for Curl, Salt, FFmpeg and more. The 20190412 snapshot updated Ceph and added fixes for Azure. In addition, the 20190415 snapshot included Mozilla Firefox version 66.0.3, and the 20190411 snapshot brought the 5.0.7 Linux kernel.

Garden Hoses are a big help when it comes to any outdoor chore at home. Whether it will be used for gardening, home cleaning, portable pool filling, and car washing, equipment cleaning, hoses are definitely a big help.
Conventional rubber hoses though may be a pain to carry round, use and store. Yes they are durable most of the time, but it can be difficult to use when bent, kinked and even a pain to drain and store. It can also be quite heavy to lug around when you have to use it again.
Fortunately, Expandable Garden Hoses have been introduced in the market, making outdoor chores a lot more bearable. Expandable hoses are usually lightweight, shrinks when not in use, drains on its own, and can be easily stored and reused. As its name suggests it does not take up too much space because it expands only when it is being used.
Most expandable garden hoses in the market today are made of nylon, and durable connectors like brass. The inner lining of the garden hose usually varies, but most of the more prominent brands in the market today boast of durable material like double latex that will keep the hose from bursting.
In this buying guide, we will be discussing what you need to know when purchasing an expandable garden hose. These include how it works, the many features of expandable garden hoses, the advantages of using one, its various applications, as well as factors to consider when buying one. We also included an extensive buying guide to help you make a purchase decision. The buying guide features five of the top performing expandable garden hoses in the market today.
Expandable garden hoses are extremely useful. Apart from the usual gardening activities like watering plants, the trees and the lawn, it can be used in cleaning the exteriors of your home. The roofing, the patio, the driveway, as well as the deck among other parts of the house.
It is also very useful when it comes to washing vehicles, as it will basically make cleaning your car extra easy.
Moreover, for families with outdoor portable pools, an expandable garden hose can be very beneficial. Pet owners will also find this hose extremely useful in cleaning pet cages.
1.Expandable Garden Hoses are Lightweight.
Have you tried lugging around a conventional rubber hose? The longer a rubber hose gets, the heavier it becomes a pain to carry around especially when it is time to store it.
To give you an idea, conventional hoses are three to five times heavier than the standard expandable garden hoses available in the market today because it is made of rubber or plastic material. Expandable garden hoses on the other hand are made of lightweight materials like Nylon and latex.
Expandable Garden Hoses do not retain water as well, so you would not have to carry around that extra weight too when packing away. And because it is lightweight, it is easier to transfer from one place to another, and you would not even have second thoughts about storing it safely after a day of outdoor chores.
Since it is lightweight, even children can help around in the garden as well as other washing chores that would require the use of a hose! It is also very user-friendly to senior citizens and those who may have difficulty carrying heavy things because of a physical condition.
2.Expandable Garden Hoses do not take too much space.
Unlike its counterpart, expandable garden hoses shrink when it is not being used. So there is no need to find a permanent area for it to be kept because it can fit in almost any cabinet in the garden, patio or garage. To sum it up, it does not need a reel when storing, you can get by with storing it by using a hose hanger.
3.Expandable Garden Hoses are very easy to store and pack away.
Forget coiling 50-feet long rubber garden hoses because expandable garden hoses drain and shrink by itself, so you can just keep and store accordingly.
4.Easy to use when mobile.
Travelling in a camper van or RV? Bringing a hose for camp out purposes will not be troublesome because expandable garden hoses will not take up space, and will be easy to carry in and out of the RV.
Garden hoses have added convenience features like the ability to drain itself, expand three times its original length, 360-degree flexibility, and it being non-twisting.
How does an Expandable Hose Work?
Expandable Garden Hoses works much like conventional garden hoses, only it is much more convenient to utilize. It works basically by harnessing water pressure. For instance, once it is connected to a water source, and the faucet is turned on it automatically shuts off the valve on the other end so that it can fully expand.
Once the expandable garden hose has maximized its full length, it will be ready to use just like any other normal garden hose.
It will always be wise to consider all the materials used in manufacturing an expandable garden hose. Since expandable garden hoses are not as heavy duty as the conventional rubber hoses, choosing one that is made of materials that can withstand harsh elements is a must. The materials used in the hose will definitely dictate its durability factor.
Nylon is usually the outer material used in expandable garden hoses. As for the inner lining, it can either be TPU or Thermoplastic Polyurethane or Dual Latex. The latter is much more durable compared to TPU and can last relatively longer when properly maintained and cared for. Dual Latex is usually paired with a brass connector. A brass fitting should always be used to join the inner layer to totally prevent leaks.
2.Quality of the connector and the valves.
One of the factors that will determine the usefulness of any garden or outdoor hose is the connectors. And why not, without a durable one, it cannot be useful and it can just spring leaks that will only increase your utility bills. Find one that is made of heavy-duty materials such as brass, and those with good threading. Find ones also that can easily adapt to the plumbing fixtures in your property.
Check out the length of the expandable garden hose that you are eyeing, as well as the width of the hose. Make sure that it measures up to the areas that you will be using it on. Ensure maximum convenience by taking all these into consideration.
There are a lot of high-end expandable garden hoses in the market today, but this does not mean that low and mid priced ones will not serve its purpose. With careful planning and research, you can end up with the expandable garden hose that gives you the best value for your money. Always keep in mind though to not expect really durable and high quality products from those bought at a really low cost.
Ensure as well that necessary warranties are in place so that if there are any after-sales concerns, you can be sure that either you can get a refund or a replacement.
Always take into consideration the special extra features of the expandable Garden Hose that you are eyeing to buy. Usual additional features are the pack way containers, extra nozzles, extra connectors, various watering patterns, and hose hangers.
Always measure the area where you will be using the hose so that you can purchase the hose that is just the right length. Buying a hose that its too short, nor too long will just be a waste of money and effort. You may have to double up on the gardening or washing effort simpy because too long a hose can be more expensive, and too short a hose may require repeated transfering of water source.
Know the surface where you will be using the expandable hose most of the time. Expandable garden hoses are not as durable as rubber garden hoses that withstand even a car running over it. Make sure that your hose can withstand everyday use, and abuse especially if your garden or outdoor area is made of rough concrete or has sharp stones, or if the garden has plants with thorns.
Compare prices and features of at least three expandable garden hoses. It is critical to know the prices of similar products in the market and what features that come with it so that you can be sure that you have made the right purchase decision. Never buy the first garden hose that you come across with before comparing it with other expandable garden hoses in the market.
After-sales will always be important. Know the warranty and after sales services available to customers of the brand. A money back guarantee and a long warranty is definitely helpful making a choice of what hose to buy.
Do not be fooled by the price. Too low a price may mean that the hose can be made of low-quality materials. Too steep a price on the other hand does not necessarily translate to being the best expandable garden hose in the market. Always compare the prices of at least three similar products before picking a hose to buy.
Do a research. Do not be too busy to read up on the features of the product that you are eyeing and compare it with the others that appeal to you as well. Reading up on the features, feedback and reviews will definitely help in determining the best expandable garden hose to buy.
The Phantom 100 Expandable Garden Hose is a Bungee Style hose that comes with Solid Brass Connectors. It is one of the highest rated expandable garden hoses in the market today because of its leak-free and highly durable materials.
The double layer latex inner lining holds up even high water pressure without bursting or causing a leak. It is really convenient to use as well because it shrinks back and drains water by itself, removing one or two tiring steps before you can store and pack away this hose.

Beekeeping is taking flight. Honeybees are estimated to pollinate 30 percent of the food we eat, making bees a vital part of the food chain. According to the U.S. Department of agriculture (USDA), the S.S. Boasted 2.62 million colonies producing honey in 2012, up five percent from 2011. Beekeeping—or apiculture—may seem intimidating due to the fear of being stung. But the odds of dying from a lightning strike are greater than those of dying from a bee sting. The benefits of apiculture, which include improving pollination for local agriculture and a number of products from the hive, far outweigh the potential of a bee sting.
Getting started in apiculture requires extensive research and exploring resources, which can range from books to local classes. Many states have a beekeeping association with county chapters that offer bee schools. While books offer a great deal of insight into bees and apiculture, hands-on experience provides a confidence boost for first-time beekeepers. "These classes are a great way to get started, as they cover everything from basic honeybee biology to the diseases and pests that plague them," says Inge Kautzmann, vice president of the Person County Beekeeping Association in North Carolina. Many bee suppliers offer starter kits that include a single hive body, protective gear and tools.
The bees and "supers," or the hive box that holds honeycomb frames, help complete the setup at an average cost of $300. For new beekeepers, Kautzmann recommends maintaining two hives, which will enable keepers to pull resources such as brood, pollen and honey from one hive to help boost the other should something happen to it.
Beekeepers have a number of hive architectures to consider. One of the most common designs is the Langstroth hive, which encourages the bees to build honeycombs on removable frames. The frames are designed to prevent bees from attaching honeycombs in between frames or to the walls of the hive. The Langstroth hive contains a bottom board on which the hive rests. This is most commonly made of wood and can either be solid or have a screen that would allow debris to fall through.
The outer cover helps protect the hive from the elements, and with an entrance reducer, beekeepers can partially close the hive entrances to prevent intruders such as mice and other insects from entering the hive. The hive body—or "brood chamber"—is a box that holds the comb frames, normally either eight or 10 frames. This can also be called a "super" or "deep super." The wooden frames contain a beeswax foundation imprinted with hexagonal shapes that are commonly known as the honeycomb shape. Says Kautzmann, "The foundation provides a starting point for the bees when they build their wax combs." Some of the frames in the hive are kept exclusively for storing honey, a function that's enabled by beeswax's ability to support 20 times its own weight.
Honeybee colonies are complex social environments. Bees live in large, well-organized social groups designed to keep the hive buzzing along. Each bee has a defined role that is dictated as soon as it completes metamorphosis into an adult. The honeybee colony consists of a single queen bee, several hundred drones, and thousands of worker bees that must work together and contribute to the success of the hive. The queen bee is the only sexually mature female bee in the hive. As such, she lays nearly 1,500 eggs a day during peak production, which runs from spring to early summer. Over her two- to three-year life-time, she can lay as many as a million eggs.
Queens lay both fertilized and unfertilized eggs. The unfertilized eggs become male drones, and the fertilized eggs become female worker bees. "Queen bees and worker bees are genetically identical," says Kautzmann. "What makes a bee become the queen is the diet of royal jelly she's fed as a larva." Worker bees are the most abundant in the hive, and as the name implies, they perform a number of tasks within the colony, including cleaning the hive, feeding the brood, building beeswax combs and handling incoming nectar. They also forage for nectar, pollen, water and plant sap (propolis) as they mature. A worker bee's lifespan is only about six weeks during the peak season and about six months in the late fall and winter.
Drones are normally only present in a hive during the late spring and summer. Their main function is to fertilize the queen bee during her mating flight, enabling her to lay eggs that will eventually become worker bees.
Beehives produce a number of products that are beneficial to humans. The most common and well-known output is honey. Honey's color and flavor vary depending on the vegetation from which the pollen and nectar is collected. Heat and moisture also affect a honey's quality, as both can lower the grade and shelf life of the end product. "Honey for consumption is available in four basic types: extracted or liquid honey, cut-comb honey, chunk honey and creamed honey," explains Kaufman. Most beekeepers produce extracted honey, which is the honey commonly found in grocery stores and farmer's markets.
Bees tend to produce more extracted honey than honey in the comb, and by extracting the honey, beekeepers can reuse the combs multiple times. Extracted honey can be gathered by cutting the combs from the hive and either using gravity or specialized centrifugal equipment to spin the honey from the cells. Cutcomb honey involves cutting the combs out of the frames and letting those sections drain overnight. Producing chunk honey requires cutting the comb to fit a jar or other storage container and letting it drain.
Royal jelly, the primary food source for queen bees, is well-known throughout the world to treat skin conditions. The substance helps decrease free radicals, making it an ideal anti-aging product according to some experts. For the queen bee, royal jelly helps accelerate maturation and ensure a longer lifecycle. Propolis, a resinous mixture collected from tree buds, sap flows and other botanical sources, is among the byproducts of beekeeping. Honey-bees use propolis to seal and protect the hive, as well as prevent the spread of bacteria and fungi in the hive.
The antibacterial and antifungal properties are also good for humans, and the substance has been proven to effectively treat wounds, gingivitis, sore throats and acne among other ailments. Propolis is also used in wood varnish. Surprisingly, bee venom is a beneficial byproduct of beekeeping. Bees use venom as a means of defense and a way to communicate, particularly when the hive is threatened. Medically, bee venom therapy has been used to treat joint pain associated with arthritis, as well as Multiple Sclerosis, Lyme disease and chronic fatigue syndrome.
With a number of pesticides targeting other insects endangering honeybee populations, engaging in apiculture can help ensure that bees and their beneficial byproducts continue to sweeten our lives.

Security is a major concern in the IT industry, but most people think of securing the network rather than the software we all use every day. Gary McGraw argues that we need to move beyond the firewall and build security into software as it is being created in order to achieve a more secure environment.
Most security practitioners focus on the network, though most attackers aim their attacks at the code. In order to combat these attacks, it is the code that need to be strengthened. Dr. McGraw offers seven concrete ways that software engineers can make their code secure from the design stage through to implementation.
Gary McGraw, Cigital, Inc.'s CTO, researches software security and sets technical vision in the area of Software Quality Management. Dr. McGraw is co-author of five best selling books: Exploiting Software (Addison-Wesley, 2004), Building Secure Software (Addison-Wesley, 2001), Software Fault Injection (Wiley 1998), Securing Java (Wiley, 1999), and Java Security (Wiley, 1996). His new book Software Security: Building Security In (Addison-Wesley 2006) will be released in February 2006. A world authority on software and application security, Dr. McGraw consults with major software producers and consumers.
Dr. McGraw has written over seventy-five peer-reviewed technical publications and functions as principal investigator on grants from Air Force Research Labs, DARPA, National Science Foundation, and NIST's Advanced Technology Program. He serves on Advisory Boards of Authentica, Counterpane, and Fortify Software, as well as advising the CS Department at UC Davis, the CS Department at UVa, and the School of Informatics at Indiana University. Dr. McGraw holds a dual PhD in Cognitive Science and Computer Science from Indiana University and a BA in Philosophy from UVa. He is a member of the IEEE Security and Privacy Task Force, and was recently elected to the IEEE Computer Society Board of Governors. He writes a monthly security column for IT Architect magazine, is the editor of Building Security In for IEEE Security & Privacy magazine, and is often quoted in the press.

M&S sees progress despite weaker sales, hails its fashion hits, says e-tail is strong
"Good progress in restoring the basics" was the opening statement of M&S's results for the year to the end of March on Wednesday. And it suggested that the company's long awaited turnaround still hasn't happened, but it remains hopeful.
For this year, it has big plans to upgrade its stores, as well as revamping its Per Una fashion line, boosting digital and overcoming some supply chain issues.
The M&S turnaround is a long-running saga and it clearly still has a long way to run based on the latest figures as group revenue fell 3% to £10.37bn, while pre-tax profit (excluding special items of over £400m linked to its transformation programme) dropped 9.9% to £523.2m. Reported pre-tax profit rose 26.6% to £84.6m and post-tax profit was up 28.2% to £37.3m, not a huge figure for a business whose turnover is more than £10bn.
In the crucial UK Clothing & Home operation, revenue fell 3.6%, partly due to store closures, with like-for-like revenue down only 1.6%. And e-commerce came good after some disappointment in recent years as UK Clothing & Home e-revenue grew 9.8%. In fact, clothing growth beat the online market and M&S improved its clothing e-market share by 0.3 percentage points.
RANGE AND SUPPLY ISSUES
Overall, M&S said that "encouraging progress in Q3 was constrained by weak availability in Q4 as we sold out of fast-selling lines and experienced supply issues."
The company also said the range was too wide "splintering our buying scale and making our shops challenging to navigate." And it added: "Our size ratios have been historically misaligned with the profile of the contemporary family age customer we aim to appeal to. However, where we have made progress in pruning options and introducing slimmer fits and more mid sizes." The customer response has been "very strong" with its new denim launch producing an initial 20% sales uplift and its sales of £15 women's jeggings up 30% over the campaign period.
It pulled no punches about its supply chain issues and other legacy processes. "Creating a new range architecture in a business with weak processes, a slow supply chain and where buyers are building their confidence has proven challenging, and our sales both in-store and online have been frustrated by poor availability in Q4," it said. "Many popular lines sold out prematurely because of the failure to increase the depth of buy and the slowness of the stock flow."
Despite these "teething problems", it said with an encouraging customer response to initial changes, "we expect to deliver a more marked reduction in options and range duplication, with a substantial increase in the number of '£1m+' lines for Autumn, a significant improvement in size ratios, further focus on style and fashion and additional investment in value."
This will be reinforced "by the update of the sub brand strategy," including the relaunch of the Per Una range "where the initial customer reaction to early changes we have made has been positive."
And it will focus more on full-price selling as the percentage of Clothing & Home sold at discount "remains too high."
This new approach will also come along with a revamp of its stores for a more contemporary in-store environment," it said, referring to the advanced age of many of its stores. A "renewal brand format and modernisation will be piloted in the year ahead."
INTERNATIONAL AND FOOD
Total International revenue fell 13.4% at constant currency but excluding the impact from exit markets and Hong Kong, it rose 1.1%. In Clothing & Home it implemented "market right pricing across most markets and saw an improving trend in retail sales in Q4."
Its objective internationally is to create "a much more competitive localised incarnation of M&S in those selected markets where we can attain a sustainable market share." This included a substantial increase to around 15% of locally designed clothing ranges, including an increase in its growing Indian joint venture which now has 77 stores.
Meanwhile the UK food business, which is a key driver of footfall for those stores that offer the firm's full product selection, showed "good signs of progress in arresting the decline in like-for-like revenue." UK Food revenue declined 0.6%, with like-for-like revenue down 2.3% reflecting the adverse impact of Easter timing in both Q1 and Q4.
CEO Steve Rowe said of all this that the company has seen "green shoots", but admitted that it hasn't been "consistent in our delivery in a number of areas of the business. But he added that it's "now well on the road to making M&S special again."


Alter Ego #118 and Back Issue #65 were both printed overseas, and got held up in a random customs inspection, so are finally due to arrive here this week (nearly 3 weeks late). Subscribers should look for their copies to hit the mail in a few more days. Thanks to everyone for their patience during this unavoidable delay.
Our new book on DAN SPIEGLE is out, and getting rave reviews!
As is BEST OF ALTER EGO, VOLUME 2, also out now.
The STAR REACH COMPANION will actually be in stores EARLY (it was due July 10, but we're expecting to start shipping copies any day); sort of a cosmic payback for the above customs snag, I guess!
BRICKJOURNAL #24 is shipping now as well.
BrickJournal #25 should debut in San Diego as well, followed by BrickFair the following week.
So though it's been quiet on the blog, as you can see, we've been working non-stop behind the scenes to bring you some amazing publications, and making plans for our year-long "TwoMorrows Turns Twenty" anniversary celebration, which starts at Comic-Con (and continues through all our convention appearances for the next 12 months, culminating at Heroes Con 2014) with GIVEAWAYS for anyone who comes by our booth, or attends our 20th Anniversary Panels. Stay tuned for more details!

Tension is brewing in Jalingo-Maiha District of Adamawa State over the return of the removed district head, Yarima Wakili Usman Shehu. Shehu who was appointed by Governor Muhammadu Jibrilla was removed last month by a Yola High Court presided over by Justice Hafsat Abdurrahman who faulted his appointment in her judgement as "wrongful, illegal, null and void".
The judge also directed that Mahmud Abubakar who brought the matter to court was the duly selected district head nominated by the kingmakers and that the governor should approve him for appointment as district head of Jalingo-Maiha.
However, Adamawa state government was yet to comply with the court judgement while the removed district head who had left the area some weeks ago had returned a development that led to tension in the area, particularly between his supporters and that of Mahmud Abubakar. Some concerned indigenes of Jalingo-Maiha District had petitioned the State Commissioner of Police over threat to peace with the return of Shehu and urged Adamawa government to comply with the court order in the interest of peace and justice.
The concerned citizens numbering 119 said urgent measures needed to be taken before the tension in the area would degenerate into violence.
"We are calling on government to be proactive in addressing this security risk situation in Jalingo-Maiha before it gets out of hand", they said It will be recalled that Mahmud Abubakar who was nominated by the district kingmakers had dragged the governor, Mubi Emirate Council, Yarima Wakili Usman Shehu and Attorney General of the state to court over the appointment of Shehu as the district head of Jalingo-Maiha in Maiha Local Government Area.
"It is hereby ordered that the Governor of Adamawa State (1st defendant) should approve the plaintiff as the proper person for appointment as District Head of Jalingo-Maiha District.""An order of perpetual injunction is hereby given, restraining the 3rd defendant (Yarima Wakili Usman Shehu) from parading himself as district head of Jalingo-Maiha District, Maiha Local Government Area of Adamawa State," the court ruled.

Trailer: Where the Truth Lies


Internet is expected to support more social and real-time services each day where users are no longer just content consumers but also content forwarders. They first download and later share them with different communities. Distributing contents to the expanding population remains as a challenging task due to the increasing number of users and contents. In general, there are two common methods for delivering content over the Internet, namely the Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network.
However, CDN requires a large number of servers to be deployed throughout the Internet that is expensive to service providers, while P2P network is challenged by distributing video with constant quality. Recently, hybrid approaches of both CDN and P2P were proposed and appearing in the literature. The aim of this paper is to study the performance of such hybrid approach on a live video casting scenario, and compare it against our version of hybrid CDN and P2P called Dynamic Mobile Server (DMS), in terms of throughput, bandwidth usage, and Peak Signal Noise Ratio (PSNR).
