But that can end up making you look monotonous and unremarkable. There is no better option other than navy blue wedding suits for groom can wear to ensure the perfect blend of stylish and sober.
A wedding is usually the day of the bride, when they appear as a vision in white and all eyes are on them. It is your duty as the groom to make sure that you do not overshadow her take away all the attention by dressing garishly. But then, it is also important that you look distinct and stylish so that you too can look special on your wedding day.
There are a number of options for which you need to dress appropriately. Whether it is the morning or the main event or the reception, you need to look your part. There is nothing that combines style and timeless elegance as well as a navy blue suit does.
There are many factors at play that makes the navy blue suit work for you. Firstly, a wedding is no place to experiment, especially if it is your wedding. Wearing garish suits that are too bright or have too much going on with multiple patterns and colors is a bad idea. The ultimate aim is to look chic and subtly elegant, and that purpose is adequately served with classic colors like navy blue. Another good thing about navy blue wedding suits is that they can be worn elsewhere also so that you can invest in a stylish wedding suit without hesitation.

We have wedding suits that are available in different cuts, and pieces that suit your budget so that you don't have to worry about spending a whole lot of money to make sure that you look good and elegant on your wedding day.

Warming Relations in Person, Putin and Erdogan Revive Pipeline Deal
President Vladimir V. Putin and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said they would proceed with a natural-gas pipeline under the Black Sea. President Vladimir V. Putin and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said they would proceed with a natural-gas pipeline under the Black Sea.
MOSCOW — Amid increasingly tense relations with the United States over Syria, President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia took advantage of a routine meeting in Istanbul on Monday to advance the Kremlin's reconciliation with Turkey, including an agreement to revive a suspended natural-gas pipeline project.
The new pipeline, known as the Turkish Stream, would run under the Black Sea to Turkey and then the Greek border, allowing Russian gas to reach Western markets without using Russia's existing export pipelines through Eastern Europe.
The pipeline would make it much easier for Russia to cut off gas supplies to neighboring countries like Ukraine without disrupting sales to countries farther west like Italy or Austria. Russia has been trying for years to establish such an export route.
Mr. Putin's appearance at an international energy conference was his first visit to Turkey since a crisis in relations between the countries after Turkey's downing of a Russian fighter jet along the border with Syria in November 2015, in which a Russian pilot was killed. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, nominally an ally of the United States in Syria, patched things up with a letter of apology and a trip to St. Petersburg in August.
The two have sought to use their warming relationship both at home and abroad to indicate that they are not politically isolated and remain central players in any Syria solution. They sat next to each other in the front row of the World Energy Congress in Istanbul, laughing together, and later met for bilateral talks.
Both Mr. Putin and Mr. Erdogan have had recent troubles with Washington. The United States broke off cooperation with Moscow over Syria and then accused the Kremlin of war crimes. Mr. Erdogan has been criticized by Washington for using the aftermath of a July coup attempt to introduce a sweeping crackdown against a wide array of critics, going well beyond the coup plotters and their backers.
Turkey and the United States have also been at odds over the Kurds. Mr. Erdogan considers Kurdish militia fights in Syria to be terrorists and a national security threat. Washington relies on the Syrian Kurds as its main ground force in the fight against the Islamic State.
Mr. Putin has been far more supportive of the Turkish leader's behavior since the coup attempt. The Russian president has also long sought to exploit any cracks in NATO, of which Turkey is a member.
Anna V. Glazova, the head of the Asia and Middle East Center at the Russian Institute of Strategic Studies, noted that Mr. Putin could easily have sent a minister to the Istanbul summit meeting.
"This means that he wanted to discuss regional problems with Erdogan face to face," Ms. Glazova said. "This becomes especially important in the context of Russia's current tensions with the U.S."
Mr. Erdogan suggested earlier this month that Turkey would propose ways to revive the cease-fire in Syria that collapsed amid mutual recriminations between Russia and the United States. Ankara would also like both the United States and Russia to support the establishment of a no-fly zone in Syria along the border that would eventually be used as a protected area to settle millions of refugees.
Mr. Erdogan told reporters at a joint news conference on Monday that the two presidents had discussed Turkey's military operations in Syria and possible cooperation to clear Islamic State fighters from the border.
"Regarding Aleppo, we discussed strategies that could be applied on humanitarian aid, so that the inhabitants who are in a dire situation there can quickly attain peace and calm," Mr. Erdogan said.
Mr. Putin said that "both Russia and Turkey stand for the earliest cessation of bloodshed in Syria," and added that "the switch to a political settlement must happen as soon as possible."
"Together with the Turkish president, we agreed to do everything to support de Mistura's initiative on the withdrawal of military units, which refuse to lay down their arms, from Aleppo in order to end violence," he said, referring to Staffan de Mistura, the top United Nations diplomat for the Syrian conflict.
Both Mr. Erdogan and Mr. Putin have said they want to restore robust trade ties, although some differences remain. In particular, Turkey wants Russia to lift an import ban on almost all Turkish agricultural produce that was imposed after the jet was shot down. During the gas-pipeline signing ceremony in Istanbul on Monday, Mr. Putin said ministers and experts would continue to hold bilateral talks on economic and political issues, tourism and culture.
The Turkish Stream gas pipeline is intended to replace a planned pipeline through Bulgaria that the European Union blocked at the outset of the Ukraine crisis. Some European governments and the United States also oppose the Turkish Stream project.The revived agreement to build the pipeline also includes a common geopolitical sweetener from Russia: a reduction in the price that Gazprom, the Russian natural gas giant, would charge for natural gas sold on Turkey's domestic market.
The main subject of the gathering was the oil industry. Mr. Putin met on the sidelines with the leaders of various producing states like Venezuela, and said in a speech that Russia was prepared to participate in an agreement on production cuts to shore up the price of oil.
"In the current situation, we believe that freezing or cutting oil production is the sole means to preserve the stability of the energy sector and to speed the rebalancing of the market," Mr. Putin said at the energy conference.
Despite their newly cordial relations, both Turkey and Russia continue to back opposite sides in the civil war. Russia has used its air force to buttress the rule of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria. Turkey has backed the rebels, within certain limits; it does not want to see Kurdish power expand across Syria's fragmented north.
While relations were strained, Moscow accused Turkey of turning a blind eye toward terrorists operating in the region, and indeed abetting their operations by buying oil from the Islamic State, a charge Turkish officials denied.
"Russia and Turkey are neighbors, so they will have to either cooperate or compete," Glazova said. "Today, the fact that both countries have troubles with the U.S. brings them closer to each other."

Fun Facts About The Theatre
Owners Tom and Debbie Prather were married six months after meeting on a TV show in Harrisburg where she interviewed him about an opening of a show.
The original design for the theatre was done on a napkin at Denny's.
The first show that opened at the Dutch Apple was A Chorus Line.
The theatre received a liquor license for the beautiful trees surrounding the theatre.
Friends and family chose the name Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre from a survey that was handed out of five sample names.
There was concern over the name at first because of the association with road apples (ask a Lancaster County resident!).
The first Executive Chef played ragtime piano for entertainment before the show began each night.
Executive Producer, Will Prather first started in the hospitality business as a snack bar manager for his parent's first theatres in Selinsgrove, PA.


When Client Access for UNIX and StarLicense are deployed to a different environment than the one in which they were built (e.g. a later distribution of Linux), it is sometimes necessary to install prerequsite packages.
This is especially true for installing 32-bit packages in a 64-bit environment, as the 32-bit runtime libraries are not installed by default in most recent Linux distributions. Both CAUNIX and StarLicense are 32-bit packages.
The techniques described in this technical document apply to RPM-based Linux distributions such as Red Hat, CentOS, SUSE, and Oracle. Similar techniques are available on Debian & Ubuntu distributions.
These procedures were tested on 64-bit versions of CentOS 6.9 and CentOS 7.3. Note that the version numbers included in package names may differ.
StarLicense Server is currently only available as a 32-bit package.
This will also include the dependencies glibc.i686, libgcc.i686, nss-softokn-freebl.
Client Access is also a 32-bit package. In addition to the 32-bit C and C++ runtimes, additional packages are needed as described below. CAUNIX is not distributed as an RPM, so the method of using rpm -i to determine missing dependencies cannot be used. However, after installation, the techniques of using the ldd command or running the product and looking at the error messages can be used.
In addition to installing the dependencies, perform one of the following steps to compensate for differences in locale names between what Linux currently uses and what CAUNIX expects. For instance, CAUNIX expects en_US.utf8, but the default locale on recent Linux distributions is en_US.UTF-8. Use echo $LANG to display your locale. Applications may hang if you fail to account for the locale name.
Edit the file $CA400/etc/conf/lang.cs and add line for your locale. e.g. for en_US.UTF-8, copy the line for en_US.utf8.
Set your locale to C (or one of the other NLS locales supported by CAUNIX) rather than the default of en_US.UTF-8.
Like compat-libstdc++-296, openmotif22 is available in Red Hat/CentOS 6 distributions, but not in v7 distributions.
Most of the dependencies of openmotif22 (libX11.i686, libXmu.i686, libXp.i686, etc) can be installed from the 7.x repository; the openmotif22 package was the only RPM that was retrieved from the 6.x repository. However, after installing the dependent packages, there was still one missing dependency (/usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB). This file is part of the libX11-common.noarch package and appears to have been removed from the newer version supplied with Linux 7.x. We copied the missing file from a CentOS 6.x system, and when rpm -i still complained, used the --nodeps flag to install openmotif22.

A family member who is active USCG is staying positive and maintaining his sense of humor despite his lack of pay. He sent me this so I thought I would share. Not a political post, just some levity.
It's cute, but the USCG just got eight or ten billion dollars in December. Don't believe everything you hear.
Just because they have an approriation doesnt mean it can be distributed during a shutdown.
… especially when hysteria and hissy fits are the priority.
Two of the four guys manning our lock are CG, working a second job. Early twenties. Our dockmaster is CGAux, and manages their schedules to fit. When I went through the lock on Tuesday on my way for a few days in St Augustine, I asked him about the shut down. And, yes, he is without pay. AND he just got married in December.
The local Navy Federal Credit Union is helping them, but it has to be a worry for these young guys.
Wanted to separate the posts. While I guess funny to some, I personally find that photo shopped photo offensive and an insult to guys and gals I know that are CG and CGAux.
Just me I guess. Maybe I am a sensitive soul.
When you work for the Govt, these things can happen, goes with the territory. This is not the first nor the last time that it will. When its over, it will quickly become just a ho hum memory, like the others have.
Where did you get the dollar number from?
Well, rumor is they are not able to issue retirement checks on Feb1. I can live with no checks for awhile, but after being insulted by the broken promises on health care and other services and the reduction in accessible faciities, its not too funny.
Yeah? Wonder why they choose the Stratton?
And BTW, First Lady ever to have sponsored one.
OK, looked it up and guessing someone is trying to suggest that the cartoon is vessel specific versus just a random picture.
Well the jokes on them because it was funny no matter what ship was used and it REALLY doesnt matter to me as I ignore any anything deeper than the punchline.
There are ~ 200 cutters in the USCG fleet. So a 200-1 chance to pick that one.
Respectfully, this post is crap.
I have a great deal of respect for the men and women in CG. Just like any other branch of the military, they deserve to be paid on time for the work they do. In addition, they should be spending 100% of their attention on doing their jobs, not worry about how to pay their bills, due to no fault of their own.
Navy Federal Credit Union is offering no interest loans that equal approximately one, two-week paycheck, to both active duty and civilian members who currently have direct deposit of their paychecks with NFCU and are not receiving a paycheck.
With the support of a $15 million donation from USAA, Coast Guard Mutual Assistance is offering Coast Guard service members with dependents will be eligible for interest-free loans up to $1,000, while service members without dependents will be eligible for up to $750.
I guess it is only hysteria and a hissey fit if it is your paycheck that isn't being paid.
All of this is sad. People who are working should be paid regardless of if they are working for the government or not. Keep up the good work Coasties.
It`s not the staff being hysterical and putting on a hissey fit.
Why not just make a cartoon about that rather than bury it in a joke about funding and lose audience?
Not really...I had many reasons for signing up.
One was I had full faith in the US to make good on their promises....one of which was a guaranteed paycheck/retirement while big businesses were failing every year.
I can only hope our youth takes note of our steady deterioration and are smart enough to stop joining and defending a country run by leaders with no morals or principles.

New Act will introduce requirements on whistleblower schemes
The Danish government has just submitted a draft bill for the new Whistleblower Act for consultation. The draft bill will implement the EU whistleblower directive and, among other things, introduce requirements upon companies with 50 employees or more to establish a whistleblower scheme. For larger companies, the requirement will already apply from 17 December 2021. In this newsletter, we take a closer look at the draft bill and what it will mean for companies.
The new draft bill implements and expands the EU whistleblower directive, which states that all companies with 50 employees or more must establish a whistleblower scheme. The new rules will therefore have significant importance for most companies.
What can be reported?
With the new draft bill, companies with more than 249 employees must establish a whistleblower scheme before the new Act becomes effective, on 17 December 2021. Companies with 50 to 249 employees will have an extended deadline and must establish a whistleblower scheme by 17 December 2023.
It's not possible to report on all types of matters to the whistleblower scheme. Reports can only relate to breaches of specific EU law, as well as serious breaches of EU law or Danish law or other serious matters in general.
For a breach of law or a matter to be considered serious enough to be covered by the rules of the Act, it, as a starting point, requires that uncovering the information is a matter of "public interest". In other words, a case-by-case assessment must be made to determine if reporting is in the public interest. It could be a case concerning fraud, embezzlement, or bribery, but could also be serious or repeated breaches of law concerning the public health, transport safety or protection of nature and or the environment.
At the same time, this means that reports concerning the whistleblower's own employment relationship as a main rule not would be possible, unless it's a case of severe harassment or sexual harassment. We have previously described the Danish government's proposal to include sexual harassment in the new rules, here.
Better protection for whistleblowers
Companies' future internal whistleblower scheme can be established either internally or alternatively, in whole or in part externally, with a business partner. In all cases, however, the whistleblower scheme must satisfy the new requirements to ensure better protection for whistleblowers. The new requirements entail, among other things, that:
Companies must appoint an impartial person or department to receive and follow up on reports and maintain contact with the whistleblower
Companies must establish and ensure the function of the scheme in a way that ensures the confidentiality of the whistleblower's identity and anyone mentioned in the report
Companies must have appropriate procedures to ensure, among other things, that the whistleblower receives confirmation of receipt of the report within 7 days and feedback within 3 months of the report, or 6 months if special circumstances warrant it
Companies with 50 to 249 employees can establish a joint whistleblower scheme, but it remains the responsibility of each company to provide feedback and ensure the whistleblower's identity
Companies must ensure that whistleblowers who satisfy the conditions to be covered by the protection of the Act are not punished for having reported a matter, such as suspension, termination, pay deduction etc.
Companies must help ensure that whistleblowers are not prevented or attempted to be prevented from reporting
Companies must ensure that reporting can be done orally or in writing
If the scheme is operated completely externally via a business partner, most of the obligations will be transferred from the company to the business partner.
The draft bill also proposes for the establishment of an external and independent whistleblower scheme via the Danish Data Protection Agency, as a supplement to the internal whistleblower schemes established by companies. Consequently, this in principle means that all companies are actually covered by the Act, since employees in companies with less than 50 employees also can report and be covered by the protection under the Act.
The Act is expected to enter into force on 17 December 2021.
The new Whistleblower Act means that many companies must establish whistleblower schemes and simultaneously, that all companies in principle will be more or less covered by the new rules. Particularly, larger companies should already commence preparations now to ensure that the new schemes meet the new requirements and are established within the deadline.
Therefore, IUNO recommends that companies pay special attention to the fact that there are requirements on independence as part of the scheme, and that companies must ensure that a conflict of interest does not arise when reports are handled. This means that companies should consider whether the whistleblower scheme should be established via a business partner that the company normally uses, or whether it should be managed by another business partner.
We usually recommend that companies establish an internal whistleblower program through an external partner. The reason is that if employees only can report matters internally, they may refrain from reporting to the scheme because the company is the direct recipient of the report.
At IUNO, we can help your company with all aspects of the whistleblower scheme. Read more about it here.
Update: The Act has now been passed, with a few changes. You can read more about the changes here.

Apple has announced the launch of iTunes U, a dedicated area within the iTunes Store.
iTunes U features free content – including course lectures, language lessons, and lab demonstrations, as well as more promotional content such as sports highlights, and campus tours — from such leading universities as Stanford University, UC Berkeley, Duke University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Shame that there is nothing from UK universities, though – don't they want to promote themselves to the iTunes generation?
It's tremendous the way that a tiny publisher like ALPSP can get global distribution this way. In this case, I assume that ALPSP's supplier, the print-on-demand company Lightning Source provides the catalogue feed to Amazon.

Better known for its production of that creamy dark Irish drink, the Guinness company has been delivering a new, much-desired liquid to locations across Dublin – water.
Guinness tankers made to hold 30,000 liters of beer were refitted so that water could be pumped from them, according to the Irish Independent. Their first stop last week was at Cadbury's chocolate factory.
The Guinness tankers are being used by Dublin city council following the rupture of tens of water pipes in the city. In most parts of the city, water has been cut off or there is reduced pressure.
Ireland's water shortage seems ironic, after the country's recent experience first of floods and then of snow. The harsh weather conditions have shown how poorly developed the water infrastructure is, as leaks and burst pipes afflicted the system.
"Pressure is low and it's difficult to detect leaks," he added.
Dublin's infrastructure was in a "shocking state" of disrepair, he added.
The problems are widespread. Dublin's city council said that Walkinstown, Crumlin, Irishtown, parts of Dublin 4, Coolock, Artane and Finglas will have very low pressure. Areas in Limerick, Westmeath and Wexford also face water shortages, according to the Independent, and sections of south Dublin are already entirely without water supply.
It is hoped that the reduced pressure and water cuts, which will mostly occur at night, will help the reservoirs to refill.
Let's hope so. We don't want those Guinness tankers diverted for long.


This article about the diagnosis of celiac disease contains affiliate links and is in no way meant as a substitute for medical advice. Please see my disclosures and disclaimers for more information.
It has been said that 80 percent of people living with celiac disease haven't been diagnosed… yet.
Unfortunately, people can go months, years and even decades suffering from a variety of ailments without knowing that their symptoms are undiagnosed celiac disease.
Many people have told me that getting a diagnosis of celiac disease was a long, trying, challenging and frustrating experience. The average length of time it takes for a symptomatic person to be diagnosed with celiac disease in the US is four years!! Many people have no idea that their inflammatory symptoms might just be undiagnosed celiac disease.
If you suffer from any sort of inflammation, or any of these 30 tell-tale celiac disease symptoms, it's wise to get checked for celiac disease. If it's celiac disease, you can immediately extinguish your symptoms through a gluten-free diet, if not, you can pursue other avenues to understand the root cause of your chronic pain.
In this blog post, I will discuss the possible five steps you may need to take on your path towards getting a celiac disease diagnosis.
If you have any of these celiac disease symptoms, you may have celiac disease. Remember, celiac disease manifests itself in your gut (small intestine) and it can create great digestive discomfort, nervous system disorders (depression, anxiety, migraines), skin rashes, vitamin deficiencies, fatigue, infertility and more.
If you suspect celiac disease is the root cause of your chronic symptoms, be sure to discuss it with your doctor. This is your first step on your path to getting a diagnosis of celiac disease.
More likely than not, if you exhibit one or more symptoms of celiac disease, your doctor will recommend doing a blood test to check for celiac disease antibodies. The most commonly used test is the tTG-IgA test. Remember, you must be eating gluten in order to get accurate results.
I'm looking at my blood test results at the moment and see my doctor tested me for a variety of things, including celiac disease, when I complained to her about my painful and chronic bloating.
I tested positive for Endomysial Antibodies IgA class. This means antibodies to endomysium, the thin connective tissue layer that covers individual muscle fibers, was detected in my blood. I also was tested for Transglutaminase (TG) IgA and my value was 10. Normal values are 0-3. Anything 10 or greater is considered positive for celiac disease. The endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy or celiac disease. In other words when you get a positive IgA test, you have, with 99% certainty, celiac disease. However, if you get a negative test, it doesn't mean you don't have celiac disease, especially if symptoms are present, and more testing may need to be done.
Should you have signs and symptoms of celiac disease, and/or have a positive blood test, your doctor might suggest you undergo an endoscopy procedure so they can view and biopsy your small intestine. As mentioned prior, while the blood test for celiac disease is 99% accurate if it's a positive diagnosis of celiac disease, there are some false negatives. Through both a visual examination and biopsy of your small intestine, your doctors will get a better idea if you have celiac disease. A biopsy is considered the "gold standard" diagnostic test.
I waited four months before getting the endoscopy after my positive celiac disease blood test, mainly because it took awhile for me to find a good GI doctor and then to get on his calendar for both a consultation and endoscopy. I recommend getting the biopsy done as soon as possible and before going gluten-free.
I was officially diagnosed with celiac disease through a blood test on April 17, 2012, and I did the endoscopy to confirm the original diagnosis of celiac disease on August 22, 2012. My doctor told me he was worried that he might not be able to detect celiac disease since I had been on a gluten-free diet for four months already… but for better or worse, both the visual examination and biopsies were positive for celiac disease. My gut was far from healed even four months into this gluten-free diet!
While genetic testing is not needed in the protocol in diagnosing celiac disease, some doctors want to have their patients undergo genetic testing.
Genetic testing is often done for people who are a first degree relative of someone with celiac disease (parent, child or sibling), but who has a negative blood test for celiac disease.
If all tests come back inconclusive for celiac disease, yet there are genetic markers indicating a genetic predisposition to celiac disease, someone can go on a strict gluten-free diet (under a health coach and medical professional's direction and supervision) to see if their symptoms resolve.
While symptom resolution may simply mean you have a gluten sensitivity vs. celiac disease, you now know that gluten is the trigger food behind your inflammation and you should avoid eating gluten just as someone with celiac disease would do.
Remember, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to getting a diagnosis of celiac disease; however, it's important to remember that many doctors may not know or understand celiac disease. It is your job as the patient to come to your doctor appointment prepared to share what you know about celiac disease, and to ensure you get the proper tests along the way.
As always, YOU are your BIGGEST and BEST health advocate.

concert by alessandro marangoni
The Dante Alighieri Society in Auckland in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy in Wellington, the Italian Cultural Institute in Sydney and the CIDIM - Italian National Music Committee, present a concert by Alessandro Marangoni in a piano recital entitled Rossini & Chopin: un dialogo romantico (Rossini and Chopin: a romantic dialogue). Among the most appreciated Italian pianists, Marangoni will deal with two apparently very different composers, who instead, thanks to the perspective of the musician, appear to be very close. Through a very stimulating and unusual program, Marangoni will eclectically exhibit the unlimited ability of Rossini to produce memorable and playful melodies establishing a dialogue with Fryderich Chopin, composer par excellence of piano works of the Romantic era.

CHRISTCHURCH MOSQUE TERRORIST ATTACK
The Dante Alighieri Italian Society of Christchurch stands in complete solidarity with our Muslim brothers and sisters who so senselessly and tragically lost their lives or who were injured on Friday while they were quietly praying. We extend to the families and friends of those who died our deepest sympathy. We share your tears and stand with you. Kia kaha!
Narropera of Italian Operas of Don giovanni and le nozze di figaro
Hello Dante Alighieri Christchurch,
To add to your opera feast, please note our narropera of Italian operas Don Giovanni and Le nozze di Figaro, arranged for soprano, violin and piano/narrator. We open our 7th year of narropera perormances (in April) with two performances of a newly written Don Giovanni, which has received repeated accolades since it was first performed in Europe in June 2018, Moreover we also perform three performances of a totally new Le nozze di Figaro, which has been created for a first performance on 20th April 2019, at Lansdown House. Don Giovanni and Le nozze di Figaro play without interval, the former 75 minutes in length, the latter 85 minutes in length.
I hope lovers of Italian music and language will support these splendid performances which will be enhanced by the appearance of our European performance violinist, the lovely French Floriane Peycelon.
Our aim with Mozart is to make his music conform to Italian principles of music making, which were in Mozart's day the musical 'lingua franca'. Mozart is neither Viennese in the modern sense, and certainly NOT German. His musical lingua franca was 'italian'.
Best wishes, and please visit our festival website which has just been fully updated to reflect the new season in April 2019. Visit: www.lansdownsummer.com

Haswell, this is the codename of Intels latest CPU generation which is based on an overworked Ivy Bridge microarchitecture. We had the chance to test two new CPUs, namely the Core i7-4770K and the Core i5-4670K. Intel claims that the new quad core processors are faster than the previous generation of Core i7-3XXX as well as Core i5-3XXX CPUs. The new processors, like the predecessor, features 22 nanometer transistors. This time we should find the biggest improvements with the integrated graphics unit and we're really curious to find out how well a job Intel did.

Tee-Ball bats are for ages approx 5 thru 7. The barrel of the bat will say T-ball on it. Typically these bats are thin walled and should only be used for T-ball.
Little League bats are for ages approx 7 through 12. There are changes being made this year in the manufacturing of Little League bats. Neenah Baseball will allow the use of any bat with USSSA 1.15 BPF stamped on it or any bat with a USABat stamped on it. Any bat larger that 2 3/4" may not be used. Bat weight is measured in weight drop*, which varies between brands and models. Heavier bats are around minus 7 weight drop, lighter bats are around minus 13.
* Weight Drop = Length of bat minus the weight.
Example = 30in., 20oz. bat is a drop 10 or referred to as a -10.
USSSA League bats are for grades 7th and 8th. They are used in certain travel and tournament leagues. The bat barrel is available in 2 5/8 inch (high school regulation), and 2 3/4 inch (Big Barrel). Bat lengths range from 28 inch to 32 inch. Bat weight is measured in weight drop, which varies between brands and models. Heavier bats are around minus 5 weight drop, lighter bats are around minus 11.
USSSA 1.15 BPF, USABat, or BBCOR must be stamped on the bats. Larger than 2 3/4" barrels are not allowed.
High School / College bats are for ages approx 14/15 and up. They are used in most High School and College leagues. The bat barrel is 2 5/8 inch in diameter. Bat lengths range from 30 inch to 34 inch. Bat weight is measured in weight drop, which must be -3. All leagues require an approved BBCOR stamp on the bat (ball-bat coefficient of restitution).
Composite Baseball Bats, are fairly new to the Baseball scene. They have been used in softball for many years. Early on, there seems to be some mixed reviews on the Composite baseball bats. I believe this is because the baseball world is not fully educated on these bats, and don't realize how to make a composite bat work for them.
To start off with, composite bats have a much longer break-in period than aluminum bats, and hitting jugz balls will not do it. If you plan on breaking in these bats in the cages, you need to use real baseballs. Another common complaint in some reviews is the poor durability of these bats. But, what players and coaches must realize is that they are not just swinging a hunk of metal anymore. Composite bats should not be used in cold weather; temperatures less than 70 degrees they can easily break, as many are finding out. Another common complaint is the cost. Yes, they are expensive, but if broken in correctly and used correctly, you will get so much more out of your bat than the aluminum or hybrids of past years.
There are several Pros and Cons (and misconceptions) about composite bats, but players and coaches need to have the correct information before making a judgment. At first, the ball will sound like it came off a wooden bat, which was another complaint in many reviews, but with proper effort and care you can break them in to the point where it sounds more like a rifle than wood. Players, coaches and parents need to know what they are buying. Without proper knowledge, they are just buying a $300 or $400 Bat, but with the correct knowledge they could be buying $300 Lightning Rod. Composite bats give a whole lot more forgiveness for the imperfect swing, and have the potential to make the average hitter a clean-up hitter.
Q. How do I break in a composite bat?
A. It usually depends on the bat, but commonly you just need a lot of good BP with the bat. You have to have between 100 to 200 hits to break it in. Some bats take longer than others. You need to be hitting goods balls, leather cover solid baseballs. Hitting off a tee will not break it in very effectively. You need to be hitting live balls thrown 40mph or better. A machine works good if it is set up to throw real baseballs. Each time you make good contact you need to turn the barrel about 1/8 turn so you break in the bat evenly.
Q. What do you recommend for proper care and maintenance of composite bats?
1) Never leave any bat, especially a composite bat, in cold weather for an extended period of time. Cold weather is very bad on composites. So make sure when you get home you take it with you into your warm house. Never hit a composite bat in weather below 65 degrees or it will have a greater chance of breaking.
2) Try not to hit off the handle - this is where most breaks occur. Composite bats have flex to them in the handles, so a good impact blow off the handle can cause them to break.
3) Only hit leather cover solid baseballs.
4) Avoid having it become a team bat.
Q. You say not to hit a composite bat in cold weather. What about the heat (90+ degrees)?
A. Basically, the warmer it is, the bigger your sweet spot becomes. Keep in mind that in some areas, such as Coastal areas or certain areas in the Midwest, with the heat there is usually higher humidity. So, although the bat is warm, the air is heavy. This doesn`t affect the bat, but can affect the ball and its flight - you may notice a difference, especially on high flies.
Q. Are half & half composite handle bats also bad in cold weather?
A. Half and Half typically do have some problems in cold weather at the handle, however it is not in performance but durability. To be safe, try to avoid using them in cold weather (below 65 degrees).
Q. Is a Composite bat better than Aluminum?
A. It is basically a matter of opinion and manufacturer. It is my opinion that in most cases, a full composite bat is better than aluminum and is the best technology available today. There are pros and cons to each bat however. Which is better for you depends on what you are looking for in a bat, such as durability, sweetspot, break-in time, warranty, flex, and other factors.
Q. Will a Composite bat hit the ball farther than an Aluminum bat?
A.Given that contact is made on the barrel of the bat, not on the handle, research and testing suggest that the composite bat does have more pop. However, this is only after the composite bat has been broken-in. Straight out of the wrapper, the aluminum bat will be equally as effective, but after break-in period, the composite will surpass it.
Q. What is Half & Half technology?
A. Half & Half technology, in most instances, is where the handle is composite and the barrel is aluminum, alloy, or a hybrid material. These bats incorporate "two piece" technology. With the handle being composite, it allows for flex or whipping action. With the barrel being aluminum, alloy, or hybrid material, it gives the bat more durability. The main advantages of this technology are the durability of the barrel and the whipping action. These are typically very good bats and cost less than full composites, however, they will usually not have the pop of a full composite.
Q. What is Hybrid technology?
A. Basically, it is the process of combining two different materials to create the bat, such as combining SC900 aluminum with carbon, or combining different alloys of steels and aluminums.
Q. If bats are regulated by BPF what advantage do the alloys make? I understand stronger alloy allows for thinner walls therefore a lighter bat, but why not just find a light bat at a good length and buy the cheapest? Or do stronger alloys make a difference as far as performance?
A. Stronger alloy bats and composite bats usually have better performance for the imperfect swing. Composites allow for mistakes to happen during the swing and still give you a little more pop. A lot of it has to do with how the composite material or alloys are formed to the bat shell; some bat manufacturers braid, weave, string, or float the alloys to make the shell of the barrels. All have their advantages and disadvantages. There are some composites that are great in some areas such as POP, but poor in other areas such as durability. Some are the opposite. Also remember that BFP is a rating, some bats clearly make it, some just make it, some perform at it, and others do not get approved.
Q. A kid on my team has a bat marked with "Demo" on the handle. Are these demo bats any different than store bought versions?
Q. I was wondering how does a bat actually lose its "pop" and how would a person actually know the pop is gone?
A. Bats can lose their pop several different ways - cracks, end cap separation, sometimes you can just get a bad bat out of the batch. Every bat will start to break down in time and eventually will crack or start losing pop as the material breaks down. How long this takes depends on many factors, including proper care and use of the bat. You can usually tell when a bat starts to lose its pop by the sound. It won't have the same solid sound and will sound a little flat. Sometimes you can tell by the feel of the bat at impact, where it does not feel the same as it previously had, and you may notice the velocity of the ball off the bat is not be like it had been.
Q. My new composite bat has a certain sound that I've never heard before. Does this mean that it is broken or is going to crack?
A. If the sound you're talking about is like a wooden bat sound, welcome to the world of composite bats. It's a hard sound to get used to, but the more you break-in your bat, the more Crisp the sound will become. If you're referring to another sound such as a rattle or thud, you may have an issue with the bat and should contact the manufacturer.
Q. If my bat breaks and I have my receipt what do I do?
A. Don't take it back to the place you bought it from. You will need to find the manufacturers contact number, which is usually on the warranty information that comes with the bat, or you can find it online. Call them up and arrange an exchange - they will tell you what to do.
Q. If my bat breaks and I don't have my original receipt what do I do?
A. If you bought your bat with a credit card there is still hope. The company you bought your bat from should be able to look up the transaction and get you a copy of the receipt. If you paid cash or are unable to get a copy of the receipt, you are probably out of luck and will have to buy a new bat.
Q. If my bat breaks and I send it in for a replacement can I get a different size?
A. It usually depends on the manufacturer, but typically the size and weight can be changed from the original. Keep in mind that sometimes you may not be able to get the same model. You may have an older model that is no longer available. In that case, they will usually send you a newer model of equal or higher value for the exchange.
Each manufacturer has their own terms and conditions on bat warranties. Be sure to read the bat warranty policy for your particular bat before using it. Most bat warranties cover manufacturing defects from normal field usage. Most warranties do not cover bats used in commercial batting cages, altered in any way, or mistreated. Remember to save your original receipt. You will need to submit a copy of the receipt to be covered under the warranty.
Weight Drop is a term used to describe the weight of the bat. Weight Drop is shown as a minus number, such as minus 3 or minus 12. It refers to the difference between the length of the bat (in inches) and the weight of the bat (in ounces). Weight drop varies between brands and models. For example, a Little League DeMarini F3 bat is minus 10. It is available in lengths from 28 inch to 32 inch. The weight of the 28 inch would be 18 ounces, the weight of the 32 inch would be 22 ounces. Weight drop for Little League bats range from approx minus 7 to minus 13. The higher the weight drop, the lighter the bat. High school and college bats must be minus 3.
This is the diameter of the largest part of the bat. Little League bats are 2 1/4 inch in diameter. Senior League bats are available in 2 5/8 inch and 2 3/4 inch (big barrel). High school and college bats are 2 5/8 inch.
The longer and larger the barrel, generally, the larger the sweet spot for hitting the ball.
Some players prefer baseball bats with smaller barrels and lighter weight, which allows for more bat speed.
Standard baseball bats are tapered 31/32 of an inch but can be slightly larger or smaller depending on whether you want a lighter or heavier bat.
Some players like a narrower taper for the lighter weight and to rotate their wrists faster when hitting. Other players prefer the feel of a bigger bat taper, which can also reduce the sting when a ball isn't struck on the sweet spot.
Baseball bats with leather or synthetic leather grips give a tackier feel for a surer grip.
Rubber grips absorb more of the shock.
Some bats come with a cushioned grip to decrease the shock even more.
First, three words about bats: "Lighter Is Better"
Barry Bonds, who weighs 195 pounds, uses a 28 ounce bat! A light bat is easier to control, and, contrary to old-school thinking, you can hit a ball harder and farther with a light bat than with a heavy bat because you can swing a light bat much faster. As acceptance of this fact has grown in recent years, the overwhelming trend in both baseball and softball has been to lighter bats. In case you need convincing, consider that NCAA and high school reviewing sports bodies have rules prohibiting baseball bats from being more than 3 ounces lighter in weight than the length of the bat in inches. This was done for safety reasons-it was thought that big, strong players swinging ultralight bats hit the ball so hard that infielders were at risk.
In Little League, however, light bats are not considered to be unsafe for defenders, because the players aren't nearly as big and strong as their older counterparts. Even using an ultralight 19 ounce Little League bat, a typical 90 pound kid won't be able to make up for the disparity in size and strength between himself and a college player. In fact, to have any chance of swinging with proper technique, most Little League players need an ultralight bat.
It's a bad idea to get a baseball bat that's too heavy for your Little Leaguer with the thought that he or she will "grow into it". Instead, your kid will learn bad habits trying to swing a bat that is too heavy. When in doubt about two bats, go with the lighter bat.
Manufacturers typically print the bat's length in inches on the barrel or the handle. They also print the weight, either in ounces, or as "- something". The "-" stands for weight in ounces less than length in inches. In other words, a 30 inch bat designated as "-10" weighs 20 ounces. Weight: In general, buy a bat that is "-10" or lighter.
The table below probably covers 80% of the players in a given division, but, as they say, "your mileage may vary". Some kids are bigger than others; some are strong for their size; some have already developed good technique. The best any article can give you is a rule of thumb.

Pier Pressure: Dollars vs. Dealers at Expo 84′
July 1, 1984 by Judd Tully
Popcorn, Dubuffet and an epidemic of auction type fever dominated the 1984 Chicago International Art Exposition (CIAE) at Navy Pier.
From a puny 70 exhibitors in 1980 (Expo I), this year's extravaganza housed 157 dealers generating 1.3 million dollars in booth rentals, and was viewed over five days by 32.000 gawkers who paid eight dollars a head. Not only has the fair graduated from red to black ink. its reputation as a world class expo has unleashed a typhoon of foreign dealers. hankering on making a killing in the Midwest. Visiting museum directors—from San Francisco to Boston—chaperoning well-heeled enthusiasts through the corridored miles of oil and steel have become as common as pigeons cooing overhead on Navy Pier's steel rafters.
How the fair fared this year depends on who you talk to. John Wilson. founder of the CIAE (and described in the Wall Street Journal as "part-time potter and full time print dealer") said. "I could not have dreamed it could be any better." Following her third year at the pier. Victoria Oscarsson of Oscarsson Hood Gallery. New York. commented, "For a younger dealer like myself I use the fair to gain a wider audience for the work I show. It reinforces the gallery's image. One is there to promote the art. 1 didn't expect to, but this year I made back all of my expenses. It has always generated interest six months after the fact. Collectors come in and see me in New York. I'm going back next year and will take a bigger booth."

The globe-trotting Spanish artist. Zush (included in the current International Survey of Painting and Sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art) said, "The galleries gothrough thewhole season and bringthe leftovers to Chicago. It's a kind of clearing house—what wasn't sold to the big collectors in New York gets sold to collectors from Minnesota." Zush was represented at CIAE by the Madrid dealer, Fernando Vijande, who sold one of Zush's calligraphic pieces to the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) in Chicago.
Ingrid Raab of Raab Gallon, Berlin, came to Chicago on the strength of recommendations of a Chicago collector couple who visited her gallery last year with Jan van der Marck, the MCA's first director. "It's very exciting for a European to come to Chicago for the first time," observed Raab. "I'm not a dealer but a "gaiterist." I didn't expect to sell. I did it for the sake of the artists. You should expect to bring it [the work] all back. There's a very high spirit of collecting here. The collectors work very hard and are open-minded in their choices. There is a metaphysical atmosphere here," continued the enthralled gallerist, "The sunshine, the pier, the water—it's beautiful and you feel calm." Dealer Raab exhibited a, neighing stable of young Germans, some unknown to New York eyes, like Thomas Schindler. He exhibited for the first time in New York— after this year's Expo—at the Deborah Sharpe Gallery in the East Village.
It was not uncommon for European dealers to spend $60,000 on the fair, almost double the cost of American galleries setting up similar installations along one of the lanky spines of Navy Pier or tucked away in one of the more obscure niches that couple in the freight-train scheme of the CIAE. Because of the tremendous demand from dealers for more booths (Waddington Graphics of London wanted 18!) and the organizer's goal of attracting more European dealers, this year the Pier had a new wing of booths that enlarged the
exhibition space by 40 per cent.

The new "north hall" wing because the problem child of CIAE V. Many dealers—including some of Europe's best—bemoaned the second-class position of north hall, running parallel to—with a separate entrance—the more familiar and tramped upon "south hall." Stuck prominently in the middle of one aisle in the new wing was a huge popcorn kiosk, queued with munching patrons guzzling containers of Budweiser on tap. The oddball placement of the popcorn stand caused episodes of apoplexy among Europe's elite. (You can tell who's who because they favor creamy yellow pullovers, unlike the kind Jimmy Carter or Dan Rather wear.) The goofy incursion of the stand reflects some rawnerved marketing on the part of Lakeside, the organization behind CIAE. It contributed to a circus-like atmosphere for fair-goers. It is unknown whether a stand selling caviar on Ritz crackers would have improved the following responses.
Rudolph Zwirner of Koln, West Germany (sharing a mega-booth with Gallery Sprovieri of Rome) epitomizes the suave, successful European dealer and has a whispered reputation for procuring scads of great art for the German chocolate baron, Peter Ludwig's Koln museum. Zwirner lost his cool at the fair and in a fury of clipped sentences told this reporter, "Look, there is five million dollars worth of art in this booth" [including
a masterpiece Magritte and a sublime Stankiewicz]. I was promised a booth next to Karsten Greve or Galerie Gmurzynska [both of Koln] . They forgot everything. Popcorn on the floor all day. All they're interested in
is money. They wanted my money before I got the invitation. It's ridiculous. The insurance, the shipping, properly installing it, costs thousands. So they put me next to the pop. I'm furious. Can you imagine going to the Met and pop, pop all over the floor? If they [lakeside] could, they'd have put a popcorn stand right here
[gesturing to the center of his space] if they could get another $5,000. I'm not used to being treated this way, like shit."
Zwirner threatened a walkout over the popcorn invasion but compromised with boycotting his scheduled appearance on the An in America-sponsored seminar at the pier, "A press interview with a German dealer," moderated by Sun-Timesian, Franz Schulze. Zwirner's last minute stand-in, Folker Skulima of Berlin, carried the ball smoothly but in no way represents the first wave of dealers (like Zwirner) who launched the German neoexpress, the gist of the panel. Skulima did manage one jawbreaker, "Italy was totally into minimalism in the 1970's. When I met Sandro Chia in Rome in 1970, he did lines like everyone else."
One savvy American dealer—an old hand in New York and Chicago—chuckled when he heard about the Zwirner boycott. "There's a Yiddish word for that, "er halt zichgrois" which means swelled head. We all suffer from it in some degree." Zwirner's fury though, was not isolated. Many Europeans had difficulty adjusting to the American organizations, especially the species known as Teamsters. They threw the Europeans for a loop, forklifting art crates at a snail's pace.
Karsten Greve (last year His Cy Twonbley exhibit thrilled this writer) shook his finger at the invisible aura of the Lakeside Group. "They promised me the same location as last year (the south hall) They lied In me They are not serious. It's the short, quick money they're after. There are lots of little problems. Compared to Basel, Chicago is like an undeveloped country, like cowboy times. We had problems getting our crates in. You have the best computers but you can't handle the little things. Last year there were more museum people, more collectors from California, the Midwest and Florida. But sandwiched between the big sales in New York is crazy. It just wasn't as exciting this year."
Sotheby's premier New York sale of modern masters conflicted with the tail end of CIAE V. Tuesday evening's (May 15) standing room only crowd at Sotheby's watched $39.3 million of art gavelled off, a record for a single session fine art sale (when you tote up the six days of New York auctions, $53.1 million of nineteenth and twentieth-century art was sold). The importance of the sale threw a weekend wrench in the gears of the Pier, with many collectors and visiting dealers running off to New York for crucial previews of the
work. Moira Kelly, holding the fort at Nicola Jacobs' booth (an avant-garde London Gallery that quickly sold out a batch of the young expressionist Louise Blair's work) raced through a litany of organizational errors, "Everybody last week was exhausted from the contemporary sales in New York" ($10.6 million changed hands, from a $24,000 Salle to a $440.000 Diebenkorn). "The main people only had one big day [Friday] here, and we were banking on Monday and Tuesday for the serious buying. Clearly, there's nothing
left to do."
CIAE's John Wilson says he's locked into the May 10-15 time slot since the goliath restaurant convention meets the following week, monopolizing all the hotel rooms in town. That hurt Wilson's out-of-town attendance last year when the two trade fairs collided. Scheduling it later in the month, ruminated Wilson, would interfere with the timing of the Bawl art fair and worse, run into Memorial Day weekend. Earlier than that,
Wilson countered, "The weather would kill us. We coordinated with the auction houses in New York. The dates do not have to conflict. CIAE will definitely be at the pier in '85."
Richard L. Feigen, a private New York dealer and major mover-shaker of million-dollar masterpieces, took a small booth in the blue chip rotunda area this year, a modest endeavor to complement his Michigan Avenue salon that reopened in Chicago this past September after a period of 13 years. "We didn't bring any million dollar pieces," Feigen said. "I bought much more art than I sold. If I had known so many others dealers were bringing Dubuffets I would have left mine at home. The Dubuffet market has lagged and hasn't moved much in the last 15 years. We bought four Dubuffets from another dealer. I bought quite a lot out there—a Max Ernst, a Max Beckmann. I have the feeling a lot of people couldn't find us at the fair. I had trouble finding it myself. They'd be better off in McCormick Place [Chicago's behemoth convention hall on the South Side]. It's a strange kind of layout. I'd want to go back and chat wills a dealer and couldn't find him again. Part of the map was transposed. But in a funny way that fair cost me a fortune. I had to leave in the middle of it for the New York auctions and my key sidekick, Frances Beatty, stayed behind. So I wound up buying a work at auction for much more and selling it for much less. It was a fluke, an accident, but once I knew about it, it was too late."
Jeffrey Deitch, assistant vice-president in Citibank's art advisory department (a • high altitude post, managing major art portfolios for the mega-rich), said it in a nutshell, "The Europeans have acknowledged the strength of the art market in America. The hot market is here so the dealers want to be here. There were some superb works of art at the fair but one would have thought, considering the number of important dealers and square footage, there would be more of it. It proves the buoyancy of the market and demonstrates how
tough it is to get great material. I don't think American collectors are ready yet to pay $330,000 for a Liubov Popova [as seen at Galerie Gmurzynska] masterpiece. Still, for a New York chauvinist like myself, a day at the fair is nothing compared to what you can see in a day in the New York galleries. One has to put that into perspective. The major art auctions in New York are much more significant than the Chicago Art Exposition."
For all the hypothetical chatter that Chicago has eclipsed Bawl (in its fifteenth year), or if the Pier can get any bigger or better, one can say with certainty that the art market is in fine fettle despite rising interest rates (that in the words of dealer Max Hutchinson, "affects the willingness of people to spend luxury money"). If John Wilson can hold his ship of art together and patch some leaks—or even recover the three Duchamp readymades that were stolen on the last day from Yves Arman's booth—CIAE VI could lullaby the critics.
The Expo has yet to attract the likes of Mary Boone, Metro Pictures, Sperone Westwater or The Willard Gallery of New York; Michael Werner or Paul Maenz of Kohn, Bruno Bischofberger of Zurich; Anthony d'Offay of London; or Daniel Templon of Paris—the reigning super-powers of this hour's contemporary art. Charles Cowles and Marianne Goodman Galleries did not return to the Pier this year. We will have to wait for the December deadline for booth reservations to gauge the 1985 dropout rate. (It is easy to spot the toothless veterans from earlier fairs. They wear the biggest smiles.) At this juncture, the participants of CIAE V are emerging from post-art marathon exhaustion. Tony (Godfather of gallery graffiti) Shafrazi gets the last word, "I get a thrill seeing all those people pass through my stand."

It was a dank grey September morning when, suddenly finding myself with nothing much left to lose and utterly bored of being me, I unglued my face from the floor beside my bed and sought guidance from the I Ching, to be thus advised: 'It furthers one to cross the Great Water'.
Long before you see the village you know it's coming. Plastic bags are snagged to the spines of the few hardy twigs that lie dormant on the desert floor. Blue, black and dirty yellow they flap like dying formless birds in the hot desert wind. Then comes the stench of burning plastic, mixed with the occasional whiff of fresh mint.
I'd never experienced a panic attack until this trip. I was in the middle of the Medina in Marrakesh and I felt an awful realisation I'd lost my Triumph Explorer. I don't mean it had been stolen – I'd forgotten where I put it.


Well if we have to determine wether a number is a power of 2 there can be tons of algorithm designed to do so using loops and conditional statements. But often there is constraint on program coded to perform under a certain complexity or efficiency.
You really dont want to waste your precious CPU processing for trivial task using giant loop or a switch statement or anything like it. Here i give you a better option, one unmatched in efficiency by any other algorithm which can do this task.
We use a mathematical concept that if we have to find wether X is a power of 2 then X ^ X-1 ( '^' Stands for XOR logic operation ) will return 0 value only when the X is a power of 2.
Now to demonstrate it using coding we will be creating a subroutine in the code below which take them number to be evaluated as input and will return 0 if number is a power of 2 and 0 otherwise.
Also we need to take case of special case in which number to evaluated is 0, which will also produce 0 as return value eventhough 0 is not a multiple of 2.
Source code below is written in C and is implementation of concept, how to determine the number is a power of 2.
