Samsung launched an Alpine White color variant of the Galaxy Note 9 late last month in Taiwan, where it is called "First Snow White". The company also announced a dual-tone Polaris Blue variant of the Galaxy S9 and S9+. Samsung has now launched these two new color variants of its latest flagship phones in India. It's worth noting that only the Galaxy S9+ will be available in Polaris Blue in the country, not the regular Galaxy S9.
The addition of the new color means the Galaxy Note 9 will now be available in five color options in India. Along with Alpine White, the Note 9 also comes in Ocean Blue, Metallic Copper, Lavender Purple and Midnight Black. The Galaxy S9+, meanwhile, is now available in Coral Blue, Lilac Purple, Midnight Black, Sunrise Gold, Burgundy Red and Polaris Blue.
Just as it did in Taiwan, Samsung is selling only the 128GB model of the Galaxy Note 9 in Alpine White in India. The company has priced the phone at Rs 67,900. The Galaxy S9+ Polaris Blue will cost Rs 64,900 and is available with 64GB storage option. Both new color variants will be available for pre-orders through Samsung Online Shop and select online platforms starting December 7. The devices will be reaching offline markets on December 10.
Would you be interested in picking one of these up?
That Polaris Blue looks really nice. I bet a Polaris Black or Red would look equally nice.
Samsung has said January, but no one knows when it will come to particular markets, and asking repeatedly won't help.

Серија од дванаест препознатљивих хумки (кургана) налази се у општини Чока у северном Банату, на потезу између Санадa и Чоке. Ове хумке представљају релативно изоловану целину, комплекс који без икакве сумње припада истом градитељу из исте временске епохе. Не разликују се много од осталих хумки у регији, изузев неких већих које су служиле као утврда. Међутим у недостатку археолошке информације није познато којој епохи су припадале, то јест када су направљене и ко их је заправо градио.

Историјат и временски оквир
Овај део Баната у старо и античко доба насељавали су Индоевропски народи трачког (Агатирзи, Гети, Дачани) и келтског (Боји, Ерависци) порекла, а од првих векова наше ере германски Готи и ирански Сармати (Јазиги, Роксолани и Лимиганти). Једно време се ту задржавају Хуни и до Атилине смрти успостављају своју државу, а након њих на ове просторе упадају Авари који такође успевају да се ту одрже, о чему сведоче њихове бројне некрополе.

Од народа који су у раном средњем веку под Карпате стизали са истока, осим Мађара са великом сигурношћу се може рећи да на овај простор продиру и Кумани, а ту су и Монголи и Татари, који их у свом краткотрајном походу потискују према западу.

Иако у недостатку археолошких истраживања, о стварним градитељима ових хумки имамо само претпоставке, знамо да су многи од ових народа традиционално познавали курганску културу, односно и сахрањивали у земљане тумуле, стога долазе у обзир као потенцијални градитељи.

Ако се тражи одговор на порекло хумки, треба узети у обзир да је сваки од наведених народа доносио део својих обичаја и стога могао имати утицаја на настанак културе хумки на равним, степским просторима Баната и Бачке.

Положај и тип хумки

Хумке су постављене на подручје леве обале Тисе, у релативно правилној лучној линији која прати приобаље бившег меандра (мртваје или пра-тока) реке. Идентификован је симболичан број од дванаест хумки, сличног изгледа и градње. Пошто немају традиционалног народног имена или неки засебан појединачни топоним, могу се номиновати само у виду целине. Хумке Санада спадају у анонимне хумке, које провизорно можемо обележавати бројем редоследа у којем су просторно постављене (хумка бр. 1, број 2 итд.). На приложеним сликама је представљено само неколико репрезентативнијих, пошто је један део њих делимично или потпуно уништен.

По типу свака представља хумку-стражару које су служиле изнад свега за осматрање. То је јасно из њиховог положаја у овом изузетно равном подручју. Места подизања су очигледно са пажњом одабирана, тако да се обезбеди међусобна видљивост (искоришћене су и уздужне елевације уз изохипсе). Ове хумке су подизане у карактеристичном низу тако да се са врха једне добро види на друге. У циљу тактичке одбране од надолазећег непријатеља са хумки су дању сигнализовали димом, а ноћу ватром. Са хумке је толико добра видљивост, да је по неком предању већ то могло бити довољно да се на њу коњаник-извиђач попне, и са коњем стане у одређеном смеру показујући на правац из којег долази опасност. Тај сигнал би регистровао посматрач са удаљене хумке и на време обавестио заједницу.

Стање и перспективе

Санадске хумке игром новијих околности спадају међу најнарушеније у Србији. Преживеле су векове и варварска времена, како-тако и ратове (за време II. светског рата немачка војска је у њих уграђивала бункере), али не и вандализам неких који су покушали са пљачком њиховог садржаја. Непознати починиоци су у организованој криминалној активности која је укључивала употребу тешке механизације ископали средину хумки, и то тако да се издалека та радња не открива одмах. За површног посматрача хумке и даље стоје, али када се приђе постаје јасно да је учињено намерно нарушавање ових културно-историјских споменика. Ова немила интервенција – над многим хумкама у Банату – одигравала се у скоријој прошлости, пре једне- или две деценије, на шта указује садржај врста и фаза развоја биљног покривача — високи коров бодљикавог карактера, претежно стричак (Carduus acanthoides). Нико из званичних институција задужених за заштиту историјског наслеђа (музеји, министарства, самоуправе) није реаговао, али чак и да постоји правилан законски оквир и систем санкционисања, то не би спречило вандалско разарање овако издвојених објеката. Тако да хумке Санада деле тужну судбину многих нечуваних и нарушених археолошких локалитета у Србији и на Балкану.

howzit shaka!
been staying offline, but had to comment on this one....since I'm a SF Giants fan back in the Mays/McCovey days :)
Dodgers are probably afraid of the matchups the Giants bring, and, if you look close at the history of Giants when facing a Dodgers pitcher that dominated them with a turn-around of just a few days, the pitcher got blasted. That's what happened to Urias in his one bad outing against the Giants back in May. It also happened to Buehler just recently in game 1. On the turn-around, he dominated in game 4.
It's just a baseball thing with familiarity in teams versus each other over multiple games in a row.
That said, I think Webb will still bring his "A" game, though I don't think he shuts down the Dodgers like game 1. I think the Giants will come out banging, and this game may be higher scoring than the touts think.
Giants 6-4 with Doval closing things out in the 9th!!
Yorda said:
Urias (who has been here b4 & has way more experience) gets blasted after pitching well? but webb (an unproven almost rookie) still brings his A game after pitching a shut out???
Doesnt make sense.. def isnt logical but I guess bias will do that..
If Knebel does well (around 2 innings) being an opener negates a decent amount of that just seeing urias you are talking about
Guess not many people see that or want to see that
Wassup Yorda and MM?...
I would like to see a 3-0 Dodger win...
Dodgers and Giants 0-0 after 5 innings...
Dodgers and Giants 1-1 heading into the 8th inning...
So much for my 3-0 guess at the score...lol...

How Jeremy Dutcher Keeps His Ancestors' Language Alive
Fewer than 10,000 Wolastoq people live in First Nations communities. The twenty-seven-year-old sings their songs
June 21, 2018 January 4, 2020 - by Sarah MacDonaldSarah MacDonald Updated 12:23, Jan. 4, 2020 | Published 12:41, Jun. 21, 2018This article was published over a year ago. Some information may no longer be current.

At the turn of the twentieth century, William Mechling, an anthropologist, travelled to New Brunswick to study the Wolastoqiyik, an Indigenous group in the region. Between 1907 and 1914, he collected more than 100 wax-cylinder recordings of people in Neqotkuk (also known as the Tobique First Nation) singing traditional songs, while, in the background, others from the nation spoke in Wolastoqey and played the drums. These soundtracks of the community's culture would end up in archives for more than a century, unavailable to the very people they had been extracted from. And, over time, as the landscape of New Brunswick changed and the Wolastoqiyik were displaced from their territory by government, the community saw its music and culture begin to slip away.
Nearly a century later, Jeremy Dutcher, a musician who grew up in Negotkuk, listened to Mechling's wax recordings for the first time. Maggie Paul, a Wolastoqiyik elder, had found the recordings in Ottawa and, in 2012, encouraged Dutcher to study them. One song in particular stood out to him as he went through them one by one: "Pomok naka Poktoinskwes"—according to Mechling's labelling, "The Fisher and the Water Spirit." Dutcher grew up "around the drum, in community with our traditional songs, being raised by song carriers," and he recognized "Pomok naka Poktoinskwes" from his childhood. When he listened to it, he was grateful to hear that the songs from his ancestors, many of which had been forgotten, were still alive.
How to Make Opera Cool
In Times of Crisis, We Need Classical Music
Why Are There so Few Female Conductors?
For Dutcher, the accessibility of storytelling and language are vital causes to champion. Today, based on available information, there are fewer than 10,000 Wolastoq people living in First Nations communities in New Brunswick, Maine, and Quebec. And, according to Dutcher, fewer than 100 people are fluent in Wolastoqey; the 2016 Canadian census counted fifty who identified Malecite (a different name for Wolastoqey) as the language they spoke most often at home. Most people in Negotkuk today don't remember the melodies or the words of the songs that Mechling recorded more than a century ago, Dutcher says.
So, at twenty-seven years old, Dutcher released his first full-length album, sung entirely in Wolastoqey. Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa was released this April under an independent label so that Dutcher could keep creative control over his work. The eleven tracks feature Dutcher's voice alongside the voices of his ancestors, using Mechling's now digitized recordings. The album is an art project rooted in Dutcher's life and work, but it is also a tool for keeping his nation's language alive, helping it to thrive. Dutcher hasn't made an English translation of the album available yet, though he eventually will, along with a video showing Wolastoqey pronunciations. "This is me having a conversation with my community," he says. His priority is not "to translate [for other people] what I want to say and be concerned about that gaze."
Still, the mainstream world has noticed Dutcher's breakthrough album, which has received glowing reviews in Now and Exclaim! and been featured in the Globe and Mail. He is touring across Canada this summer, playing shows from Vancouver to Halifax. And so Dutcher's music—based off recordings that were made by an outsider—is gaining recognition far wider than the Wolastoq community.
To see a work of music that is so deeply associated with a First Nation's identity be absorbed into mainstream culture, especially while Canadians are still having conversations about history and reconciliation, can be both satisfying and difficult to process. In the past couple of decades especially, Indigenous artists have had to grapple with the duality of wanting to create work for and about their communities while working in a non-Indigenous industry with a largely racist past. As Angela Marie Schenstead, an artist in Saskatchewan and member of One Arrow First Nation, wrote in a recent essay for Canadian Art, "the dichotomy of honouring family and culture while pursuing professional goals and having to be an advocate for Indigenous rights within a Western-dominated art scene can be an exhausting experience for Indigenous arts professionals." While Dutcher knows that non-Indigenous people have and will be welcoming of his work, he doesn't necessarily consider this a conflict. In becoming widely popular, Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa has also found success as a kind of cultural tool for non-Indigenous listeners: a means of education about the worth and diversity of Indigenous music in Canada.
Dutcher, who lives in Toronto, is at a particular intersection with his music: his current work is rooted in his community's traditional songs, but his career was originally centred around the Western classical canon. As a child, he performed in musical theatre, and in 2013, he completed a degree in music and social anthropology at Dalhousie University. His classical-voice performances in school were formal; an operatic tenor, he would wear a tuxedo, straighten his posture, and clasp his hands together as he sang. (Even when he talks about his opera performances now, he intuitively assumes this position.) Dutcher created this first full-length album as a way of "trying to figure out how I fit into both of those systems," one of which is rooted in the forests of what is now New Brunswick and the other in classical opera. "Finding a way to marry those two worlds or, at least, turn them in on each other, and, you know, gawk at the absurdity of how sort of different these are."
Dutcher thinks a lot about what qualifies as "Indigenous Canadian music." Still today, he says, there is a common belief among non-Indigenous people that Indigenous communities are homogeneous. Historically, members of marginalized groups in North America have seen their music tokenized—edited to be more digestible, the cultural aspects toned down. This has contributed to the overarching false impression that all Indigenous cultures look and sound the same. And to that end, in Canada, "certain styles of what Indigenous music sounds like" become more prevalent, Dutcher says. "Not a lot of people know what East Coast songs sound like because, you know, we didn't have the big drum that you see at a lot of powwows—what you hear in A Tribe Called Red's music."
Music created and consumed by Indigenous people has followed a similar path to popular Canadian music over the years: older generations, especially of Inuit and Métis artists, gravitated toward rock, folk, and country. Today, young Indigenous music makers are consuming and producing genres like hip hop, rap, and electronica—as well as a multitude of hybrids and subgenres. Artists of this new generation are also finding ways to preserve and promote their cultures. Reclaimed, a CBC program hosted by Jarrett Martineau that is dedicated exclusively to Indigenous music, is a good introduction to the "next wave" of Indigenous music, which is created by a new generation of artists who are working to emphasize the diversity of voices. Collectively, they are introducing their work to the mainstream while preserving the sounds of their respective identities.
A Tribe Called Red, an Ottawa outfit whose original members are from Ojibwa, Cayuga, and Mohawk communities, have an eclectic arrangement of electronic beats mixed with powwow music—and on their recent record Halluci-Nation, they feature artists such as Lido Pimienta, an Afro-Columbian performer with Wayuu heritage, who recently won the Polaris Prize, and Maxida Märak, a Sami performer from Sweden. Buffy Sainte-Marie is an older artist, an icon of 1960s folk rock, whose sound is shaped by her Cree background and life in Saskatchewan, but she also took home the 2018 Juno Award for Indigenous Music Album of the Year. Inuk singer Tanya Tagaq's unique throat-singing performances are energetic and visceral, and her music has also earned her a Polaris Prize. Snotty Nose Rez Kids, from the Haisla Nation on the West Coast, produce thoughtful, exciting hip hop with lyrics that address stereotypes about Indigenous people. Iskwé, a Cree and Dene pop and electronic artist from Hamilton, Ontario, sings primarily about community and the future.
Dutcher's songs fit into this recent wave of Indigenous talent, and he was especially well received during the New Constellations tour, a cross-country show put on last year by the Basement Revue series and the record label Revolutions Per Minute. Onstage, during the tour, artists like Pimienta were singing Dutcher's praises. And, during Dutcher's New Constellations performance in Toronto, he says he could see Leslie Feist side stage, watching him with appreciation. It is a sight to behold; Dutcher singing crouched over his piano—the straight posture of his classical days mostly gone—often leaving his audience silent and shaken.
Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa opens with "Mehcinut," a song about the impermanence of death: a celebration of cycles. After attending two family funerals in close succession some years ago—one Indigenous and one non-Indigenous—Dutcher says he noticed the differences in the two communities' approaches to mourning. "In Wolastoq worldwide, our passing between states of being is a sacred and celebratory one," Dutcher says, and "'Mehcinut' is part of that sacred celebration of Indigenous cultural continuity." In the song, Dutcher's vocals soar on the track over the piano and slowly build to an emotional climax of layered strings and wind instruments.
The songs on Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa are theatrical; they evoke a particular grandness that, through Dutcher's operatic vocals and stinging piano, demand attention across musical genres. "Qonute" sounds like a dubstep chamber pop piece, airy and gentle, elevated with quiet horns. "Koselwintuwakon," the album's final piece, includes minimal instrumentation and a chorus of voices slowly building on Dutcher's. The singer's process making the album was intuitive: some songs sound similar to Mechling's recordings, featuring the drums and shakers that traditionally accompany the music, while others have been more interpreted and modernized. "The process around writing these pieces was…listening to those archives over and over again, getting those melodies in my body and my head," he says. From there, the songs would take shape on their own, with Dutcher composing piano and string accompaniments.
Dutcher's producer, Bufflo, added electronic flourishes to the album as well: "Ultestakon," for instance, begins with simple piano before introducing layers of vocals, strings, clapping, and drum percussion. The song envelops the listener; Dutcher's harmonizing is the sonic equivalent of sunlight peeking out behind a cloud, subtle but illuminating.
By including chamber music instruments as well as electronic elements, Dutcher reshaped the music of his ancestors and brought it to a new generation of modern Wolastoq music listeners who also appreciate contemporary pop. "It was about that reorientation of who is this work for," Dutcher says. "And are they going to connect with the work as just a classical kind of thing or do I find ways to let it speak to our youth in the community? Or, you know, elders in the community or anyone in the community? To give them a chance to be let into that musical world."
Dutcher says he is grateful that Mechling collected recordings from Negotkuk, no matter the anthropologist's original intent. Without this archived work, some aspects of Wolastoq culture might have been lost. But when Dutcher performs songs from his album, he is reclaiming his community's history and reinforcing the roots of Wolastoq language and culture. "When we lose [the people who speak Wolastoqey], we're not just losing words," Dutcher says. "We're losing entire ways of seeing the world. That's what language is." Dutchter opened his album with "Mehcinut," a song about death, as a way to confront the notions of so-called dying languages. In fact, through his album, he hopes Wolastoqey will find new life.
During a performance in Halifax a couple of years ago, Dutcher's mother, who also grew up in Negotkuk, saw him perform songs from Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa for the first time. "At the end of the show, people stood and were really excited about it, applauding—she sort of sat there," Dutcher says. She seemed pensive, quiet.
"What? You didn't like it? What's wrong?" he asked her.
"No," she answered. "I thought a lot about my childhood and the kinds of shame I carried around about being Indigenous, and our songs, and our practices." For a long time, Indigenous artists were largely shamed and ignored. The contrast between this past and the attention that Dutcher's music has received today can still be jarring—especially for an album that pays tribute to a community and language that have faded over decades. "To sit here in a room comprised of almost solely non-Indigenous people that were standing up and applauding—and proud!" Dutcher says about his mother. "I think that is still a little unbelievable to her."

Anderson .Paak & Knxwledge Announce NxWorries Return
By Nadijah Wilson On 18 October 2022
Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge have announced that their duo NxWorries is returning with new music later this week.
The pair haven't dropped a project since their debut full-length Yes Lawd! in 2016, but Paak announced they would be reuniting for a new single featuring H.E.R. titled "Where I Go."
The Oxnard crooner unveiled a teaser video on YouTube on Monday (October 17), with the full version set to drop on Wednesday (October 19).
Both parties have been incredibly busy since parting ways in 2016. Anderson .Paak has released numerous solo albums and linked with Bruno Mars for their Grammy-winning group Silk Sonic. The pair dropped their debut An Evening with Silk Sonic back in 2021, and won four Grammy awards, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
As for Knxwledge, he's been spending the years producing for many rap heavyweights including Mach-Hommy, Earl Sweatshirt, Action Bronson, Westside Gunn and others.
While Anderson .Paak has been enjoying his time in Silk Sonic, the duo announced in a statement to Rolling Stone last week that they would bow out of submitting their debut album for consideration at the 2023 Grammy awards.
"We truly put our all on this record, but Silk Sonic would like to gracefully, humbly and most importantly, sexually, bow out of submitting our album this year," Mars wrote.
He added: "We hope we can celebrate with everyone on a great year of music and partake in the party. Thank you for letting Silk Sonic thrive.
"Andy and I, and everyone that worked on this project, won the moment the world responded to 'Leave The Door Open.' Everything else was just icing on the cake. We thank the Grammys for allowing us to perform on their platform — not once but twice — and awarding us at last year's ceremony. We'd be crazy to ask for anything more."
Music aside, Anderson .Paak has also been hard at work on his latest Vans collection, which dropped over the summer. Paak's third collection with the shoe brand is titled the "Vanderson Collection," and is filled with an array of t-shirts, sneakers like the EPack Sport, apparel, and more accessories hand-picked by the Silk Sonic artist himself.
"Vans was super patient with me on this one," he said in a statement. "We met every week in Malibu and designed these shoes in the California sunshine. This is my best drop yet and I'm so proud of what we've come up with."

MADRID, Jan 18: Lionel Messi missed a penalty as Espanyol struck in the dying moments to consign Barcelona to their first defeat since August, 1-0 in the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals on Wednesday, reports AFP. Oscar Melendo slotted home a neat finish with two minutes remaining of a temperamental derby cup tie, racing onto Marc Navarro's low cross to punish Messi for missing a 62nd-minute penalty and send the home crowd into raptures. "We knew this day would come, we tried to delay it as much as possible but it couldn't be today," said Sergio Busquets after the match. "The good thing is that we have the second leg to try to mount a comeback. We are lucky to have that game at home, and we will have to win whatever happens." In a match of few chances Barca's penalty, which came after a foul on Sergi Roberto, looked to be the decisive moment for the away side, but Espanyol keeper Diego Lopez dived superbly to his left to push Messi's powerful shot wide. Navarro then came close to giving the hosts the lead in the 83rd minute with a dipping free-kick that forced an excellent save from Jasper Cillessen, before five minutes later setting up the goal that gave Espanyol their first win over Barcelona in nearly nine years. "This victory is important for the history of the club and to break down all those walls," said Espanyol coach Quique Sanchez Flores. "It was telling how long ago it had been since we'd won against Barcelona, now the counter is back zero and we're immensely happy about that." Diego Costa's third goal in four matches wasn't enough for Atletico Madrid as Sevilla twice scored late to stun their hosts 2-1 in the first leg at the Wanda Metropolitano. Costa struck for dominant Atletico on his first appearance since being sent off for wildly celebrating his last goal, in a 2-0 league win against Getafe, this one a superb first-time shot past Sevilla keeper Sergio Rico after the ball ricocheted to him in the 73rd minute. However Sevilla grabbed a hugely fortunate and barely deserved equaliser seven minutes later when a speculative cross deflected off Atletico defender Lucas Hernandez and was then inexplicably pushed into his own net by keeper Miguel Angel Moya. New Sevilla coach Vincenzo Montella sealed his third win since arriving in Spain -- all of coming them in the cup -- with a much better goal two minutes from time, Joaquin Correa racing on to Wissam Ben Yedder's knock-on and tucking a fine finish past Moya. Valencia came close to being shocked at their Mestalla stadium by Alaves, who are languishing in 17th place in La Liga and are just two points above the relegation zone, but Goncalo Guedes and Rodrigo scored in nine second-half minutes to overturn Ruben Sobrino's 66th-minute opener for the away side. Struggling Real Madrid and their under-fire boss Zinedine Zidane travel to Leganes on Thursday hoping to banish all talk of a crisis at the domestic and European champions after the weekend's shock home defeat to Villarreal.


WordFly will automatically suppress your unsubscribe and hard bounce addresses from emails you have sent out from WordFly. The suppression happens when new lists are imported fresh into WordFly. Let's review the process and how to make sure you are not emailing unsubscribes and hard bounces again.
When you start using WordFly for the first time you might want to make sure your unsubscribes and hard bounces from a previous email service provider are logged in your WordFly account. This way WordFly will make sure those subscribers who have opted out remain so as you start sending emails from WordFly.
All addresses on the list will be flagged as unsubscribes.
WordFly will suppress these addresses on new list imports. Previous list imports will not have a record of the unsubscribe.
If you need another list unsubscribed we'll need to do the same thing. Adding subscribers to this list will not unsubscribe the address.
The date of the unsubscribe is actually logged one month in the past from the day we flag the subscribers. This is done so that you will not be billed for these subscribers.
1. Obtain a CSV file export of all your unsubscribe and hard bounce addresses.
4. Follow the steps in this post to import your CSV list: How do I import a list from a file?
Tip: Be sure to name your list something like 'Unsubscribes from previous ESP' or 'Unsubscribes and Hard bounces'.
5. Email support@wordfly.com to let us know you have imported your CSV file, provide the name of the file, and let us know you want us to mark these addresses as 'unsubscribes'.
We will confirm we have received your request and will let you know when we have completed that step. It usually only takes a couple minutes!
The unsubscribe and hard bounce filtering is working constantly in all WordFly accounts to ensure subscribers with opt-outs or bad addresses are not emailed again. Let's review how this process works on new list imports and sent to lists.
Learn more: Where can you see subscriber import issues in WordFly?
WordFly suppresses all unsubscribes and hard bounces in your list when you import your lists. If you do not re-import your list, WordFly will not globally suppress new unsubscribes and hard bounces that have come in since the previous emails in your account were deployed. WordFly does suppress these on the list unsubscribed from but not in other existing lists. It's generally a good rule to try to import lists new with each Campaign deployment.
This works well with the concept of Email Campaigns in WordFly. We consider an Email Campaign a means for sending out 1 email template with 1 subscriber list. The email template and subscriber list would naturally be unique each time.
When you import and send to a list the unsubscribes and hard bounces that come in from that sent list will update behind the scenes on that list but not be reflected in the list summary.
3. 24 hours pass and WordFly updates the counts on the list.
Let's look at one example. You are emailing your Newsletter list today and next week you want to email the same list again. You will import your Newsletter list today, send your Email Campaign with this list. Email responses will come back, including some unsubscribes and hard bounces. Next week you will select to send to the same list again. Unsubscribes from last week will not be reflected on the list summary; however, when you send to the list the unsubscribed addresses will be suppressed when the email is sent.
How can I see manage and export subscribers who weren't imported?

All the comments about trains is true. If you could ignore the trains, it's not too bad.
It s a bit off the freeway, but it s worth it. Staff was very friendly, excellent dog park. Good playground for the kids. All sights are level. Someone made a comment about train noise. There is a lot of it.
Better like the sound of trains! Very nice campground with good facilities and a nice pool. We tent camped for one night and the space was nice but there are train tracks about 100 yards away with a crossing. Trains came by regularly all night long and blew their horns at the crossing which kept waking us up. Other than the train traffic the place was fine.
Looking for a space late on a summer saturday. Everyplace seems to be full. Stopped by koa and at first say nothing available, but as I get in truck they come out to let me know they have an emergency spot. They get me in.
A decent KOA. Sites aren't super-sized and are level gravel pads and grass. Men's bathroom OK, but shower floors could be cleaner.
You're packed in like sardines, but it's a place to park the 5th wheel for the night. Full services and clean facilities, kids liked the pool and friendly staff. They deserve a higher rating but I'm stubborn and hate being lined up and vacuum packed like wieners.
Only reason I say decent is because of that train! But other than that it was a good stay, friendly people and close to town. Pool was nice and facilities were clean.
Good stay over. Close to town. Staff very friendly and professional.
Stayed overnight on our way through Spokane. Staff was friendly, sites were roomy, park was very quiet after dark (with the exception of the occasional passing train), and my boys loved playing at their little park.

What Past Recessions Tell Us About the Housing Market
Realtor Blog
It doesn't matter if you're someone who closely follows the economy or not, chances are you've heard whispers of an upcoming recession. Economic conditions are determined by a broad range of factors, so rather than explaining them each in depth, let's lean on the experts and what history tells us to see what could lie ahead. As Greg McBride, Chief Financial Analyst at Bankrate, says:
"Two-in-three economists are forecasting a recession in 2023 . . ."
As talk about a potential recession grows, you may be wondering what a recession could mean for the housing market. Here's a look at the historical data to show what happened in real estate during previous recessions to help prove why you shouldn't be afraid of what a recession could mean for the housing market today.
A Recession Doesn't Mean Falling Home Prices
To show that home prices don't fall every time there's a recession, it helps to turn to historical data. As the graph below illustrates, looking at recessions going all the way back to 1980, home prices appreciated in four of the last six of them. So historically, when the economy slows down, it doesn't mean home values will always fall.
Most people remember the housing crisis in 2008 (the larger of the two red bars in the graph above) and think another recession would be a repeat of what happened to housing then. But today's housing market isn't about to crash because the fundamentals of the market are different than they were in 2008. According to experts, home prices will vary by market and may go up or down depending on the local area. But the average of their 2023 forecasts shows prices will net neutral nationwide, not fall drastically like they did in 2008.
A Recession Means Falling Mortgage Rates
Research also helps paint the picture of how a recession could impact the cost of financing a home. As the graph below shows, historically, each time the economy slowed down, mortgage rates decreased.
Fortune explains mortgage rates typically fall during an economic slowdown:
"Over the past five recessions, mortgage rates have fallen an average of 1.8 percentage points from the peak seen during the recession to the trough. And in many cases, they continued to fall after the fact as it takes some time to turn things around even when the recession is technically over."
In 2023, market experts say mortgage rates will likely stabilize below the peak we saw last year. That's because mortgage rates tend to respond to inflation. And early signs show inflation is starting to cool. If inflation continues to ease, rates may fall a bit more, but the days of 3% are likely behind us.
The big takeaway is you don't need to fear the word recession when it comes to housing. In fact, experts say a recession would be mild and housing would play a key role in a quick economic rebound. As the 2022 CEO Outlook from KPMG, says:
"Global CEOs see a 'mild and short' recession, yet optimistic about global economy over 3-year horizon . . .
More than 8 out of 10 anticipate a recession over the next 12 months, with more than half expecting it to be mild and short."
While history doesn't always repeat itself, we can learn from the past. According to historical data, in most recessions, home values have appreciated and mortgage rates have declined.
If you're thinking about buying or selling a home this year, let's connect so you have expert advice on what's happening in the housing market and what that means for your homeownership goals.

Water and Wastewater Companies for Climate Mitigation Contact
ECAM
Urban water at the confluence of climate action and the SDGs
April 9, 2020 | WaCCliM
As global temperatures rise, it is the water cycle that is changing most dramatically, most unpredictably, and with some of the greatest consequences for people everywhere. Climate change is disrupting water availability and quality, amplifying floods and storms, and increasing the frequency of droughts. For water-sector decision makers, all of these impacts add up to a fundamental disruption: decisions that were once based on historical data are now afloat in uncertainties about the climate of the future.
At the same time, the water sector is, itself, a place to take on the drivers of climate change. The sector currently contributes up to 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and with demand for water set to increase by 20-30% [1] in the next 30 years, its emissions will only rise – unless something is done.
Municipal systems, global commitments
Strong mitigation potential lies in urban water and wastewater systems, whose energy consumption, mostly driven by fossil fuels, makes up as much as 40% of municipal energy use in some cities. In developing and emerging countries, water and wastewater utilities often rely on inefficient pumps, leaky distribution lines and dated treatment technologies. They emit carbon dioxide from their energy use, and even more potent greenhouse gases – methane and nitrous oxide – from the breakdown of untreated or poorly treated sewage. Since 2014, the project Water and Wastewater Companies for Climate Mitigation (WaCCliM) has been working with selected countries and utilities to prove that in the urban water sector, climate mitigation action can be achieved alongside, and in harmony with, climate-resilient sustainable development.
WaCCliM's experience has shown that the flow of water into, through and out of cities connects some of the largest commitments of developing and emerging countries. Among these, two stand largest: the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) that governments have pledged in order to reach the climate targets of the Paris Agreement; and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that they are striving to achieve by 2030.
Clean water and sanitation command their own SDG, Goal 6, but in truth water runs through nearly all of the goals, and unites them with success or failure in climate action. Even in a stable climate, countries would be facing an enormous challenge just to reach Goal 6 – availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. Billions of people still live without safe water, sanitation or both, and the effects undermine other goals like health, equality and the vision of sustainable cities. Now the uncertainties of the climate require thinking even harder about water insecurity, including in cities; about which people have as much water as they need without having more than they can manage, about how clean that water will be under all possible conditions, and about how to generate the energy that will get it there.
A climate-smart roadmap

The NDCs that countries have submitted reveal an awareness of just how central water is to climate adaptation. According to a Global Water Partnership analysis of 80 NDCs, investing in water infrastructure, institutions or governance is a key priority in 89% of the surveyed countries, and practically all countries indicate that some kind of water action is necessary for adaptation. Far fewer NDCs, however, mention the substantial opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions found in the urban water and wastewater sector. It's here that WaCCliM is guiding countries to mitigation opportunities, starting at the utility level.
The Project has introduced a roadmap of systematic steps and measures towards low-carbon water and wastewater utilities that can also plan for climate risks and improve their services to better support sustainable development. Helping utilities on this path is the project's Energy Performance and Carbon Emissions Assessment and Monitoring Tool (ECAM), which any utility can use to assess its emissions and pinpoint opportunities to use less energy – or even generate its own energy.
From the utility up
WaCCliM has piloted mitigation solutions, ranging from energy-efficient pumps to technologies for generating power with wastewater biodigesters, with utilities in Jordan, Mexico, Peru and Thailand. The measures prioritised in these pilots have achieved total mitigation equivalent to 10,000 tons of carbon dioxide – or planting 50,000 trees – per year. WaCCliM is also introducing adaptation thinking by helping the pilot utilities develop climate risk plans, advising utility personnel on ways to build water system resilience to the risks identified, reducing water losses and recycling treated wastewater. The toolbox of both mitigation and adaptation planning measures will be available to utilities everywhere on the knowledge platform Climate Smart Water.

Through these tools WaCCliM´s approach can substantially help meet NDCs across developing and emerging countries, and by building climate-smart urban water systems, it can help achieve the SDGs, too. This is a big vision, and it has to be achieved on a local, national and global scale. So while WaCCliM works with national and international partners to enable local action, it does this with a larger transformation in mind. The water and wastewater utilities using WaCCliM tools to pioneer greenhouse gas benchmarking and climate-smart planning are becoming national sector leaders, and they are providing evidence for an increased consideration of water as a sector for combined mitigation and adaptation action in the next round of NDCs. As that happens, they will also be poised to make a significant contribution to the sustainable development agenda.

prototype manufacturing is the pre-manufacturing phase of a machined part. Simply put, a prototype is an early sample, model, or release of a product. It's designed to test and try a new design to enhance precision by system analysts and users. Prototyping serves to provide specifications for a real, working system rather than a theoretical one. In some workflow models, creating a prototype (a process sometimes called materialization) is the step of the formalization and the evaluation of an idea.
It is important to realize that by their very definition, prototypes will represent some compromise from the final production design. Due to differences in materials, processes and design fidelity, it is possible that a prototype may fail to perform acceptably whereas the production design may have been sound. The counter-intuitive idea is that prototypes may perform acceptably whereas the production design may be flawed since prototyping materials and processes may occasionally outperform their production counterparts.
It is possible to use prototype testing to reduce the risk that a design may not perform as intended. However prototypes generally cannot eliminate all risk. There are pragmatic and practical limitations to the ability of a prototype to match the intended final performance of the product and some allowances, and engineering judgment are often required before moving forward with a production design.
Building the full design is often expensive and can be time-consuming, especially when repeated several times. As an alternative, rapid prototyping or rapid application development techniques are used for the initial prototypes, which implement part, but not all, of the complete design. This allows designers and manufacturers to rapidly and inexpensively test the parts of the design that are most likely to have problems, solve those problems and then build the full design.
Final production designs often require extensive effort to capture high volume manufacturing detail. Such detail is unwarranted for prototypes as some refinement to the design is to be expected. Often prototypes are built using very limited engineering detail as compared to final production intent, which often uses statistical process controls and rigorous testing.

IAFAR's offical launch date! All members are welcome to attend!


Ontario is looking to hire a same-day weed delivery service, Cannabis Professional has learned.
Bidders have until early February to express interest in a $450,000 contract to provide "expedited/same-day home delivery service" for the Ontario Cannabis Store starting March 1, and lasting until 2021, according to documents posted on a provincial procurement website late last week.
Canada Post has previously been the sole delivery partner for the Ontario Cannabis Store. Initially promising delivery timelines of no more than three business days province-wide, major delays caused in part by rotating strikes of Canada Post employees led to many early OCS customers waiting much longer than the advertised delivery date to receive their cannabis.
Ontario was also the only province in Canada to launch online-only recreational cannabis sales on Oct. 17, delaying the launch of storefront operations until April. Six days after the launch of recreational sales and in response to a mounting customer backlash, the OCS said it "has a contingency plan in the event orders cannot be fulfilled due to the ongoing labour dispute at Canada Post," according to a statement dated Oct. 23, 2018.
That statement promised to "provide details at such time it would become necessary to put this plan into action," but no further details were ever provided. The OCS declined to say Wednesday whether Canada Post would be allowed to bid on the same-day delivery contract and Canada Post Canada Post declined to comment about whether it was aware of the tender process and or interested in participating.
In preparing to offer same-day delivery options, the provincially-owned OCS is entering an extremely complex and highly competitive marketplace with established players on both sides of the law. Solace Health, a medical cannabis provider owned by Mississauga-based TerrAscend, for example, has been offering same-day delivery to patients in the Greater Toronto Area (from Oakville in the west to Oshawa in the east) since March, 2018, and Vaughan-based CannTrust launched a similar service one month before that.
"We look at it from a risk mitigation standpoint that if one channel goes down or another is unable to fulfill orders in a certain region that we have access to other options," Ms. Rabinovich said.
Illicit marijuana sellers also offer same-day deliveries based on distance. The website for a service called Cannavitae offers free same-day delivery for orders of at least $35 within 5km of the Don Mills & Eglinton area of Toronto's midtown, with prices rising to $20 for customers as far as 25km away. Cannavitae says it "strives to have your order delivered to you between two to four hours" after being processed.
While the OCS is the sole legal option for Ontario residents looking to buy recreational cannabis online, the retailer faces more competition in the same-day pot delivery business than it might think.

16 Amazing Augmented Reality Games for Android & iOS
March 15, 2015 August 22, 2017 OG Edit@rs augmented reality
Augmentation is done in real time and takes advantage of environmental elements. With augmented reality games, we get to use real surroundings along with our iOS or Android camera to play with virtual elements. You can do pretty much anything: find mystical creatures, race cars, solve puzzles, trail for treasure, and so much more!
We've rounded up the best apps in this comprehensive list of the best Android and iOS augmented reality games available today!
1. Ingress
With Ingress, Google took the first plunge into the augmented reality games market. This MMO puts users into two large groups: the Enlightened and the Resistance. Players must virtually fight for control or territories. They are given Exotic Matter (XM), a material that they can use to to take over virtual portals.
When at least three portals are conquered by one of the teams, the winning group gains control of the zone between the portals. Ingress offers an immersive social experience while also being one of the most comprehensive strategy titles on our list.
Download for Android: Google Play Store.
Download for iOS: iTunes.
2. Real Strike
This is the first augmented reality, 3D FPS (First Person Shooter) game. Real Strike uses the camera in order to create a FPS experience into the real world. It has a mixture of 3D gun animations, while the camera turns every area or street into a genuine military base.
Real Strike has a total of 25 guns that you can select from 6 various categories, and you can change your type of view by selecting the night vision, thermal vision, or tactical flashlight. The firing is rather smooth and precise, although it can be a bit sensitive for my taste.
3. Zombie GO
Zombie games are a real hit these days! Zombie GO lets you fight the undead in the real world! Prepare to get spooked while you walk around your house, school, the streets, or wherever. Zombies can pop up from any corner and they're coming to get you! Can you survive?
The app lets you fight zombies both in a real environment and a virtual environment. The more creatures you kill, the more you unlock new weapons. Choose between a AK-47, 44 Magnum, sniper rifle, shotgun, flame thrower, mini gun, and more!
You can choose between two modes: survival or safe mode. With the safe mode, you can experience the Augmented Reality effects without risking an attack. So you can still have a great deal of fun shooting the zombies without being killed. However, we'd choose to fight those creatures any day!
4. Pokémon GO
Pokemon GO needs no presentation but we just couldn't not include it in our list of the best augmented reality games for Android and iOS. Join Trainers worldwide in they're quest of discovering Pokémon in the world surrounding them. This game has been downloaded over 750 million times, so you can bet it's worth it!
Get your shoes on, walk out the door and explore the world around you! Venusaur, Pikachu, Charizard, Blastoise, and many other Pokémon are waiting to be discovered! Take aim, throw a Poké Ball, and you've snatched it! Join a team and fight for the ownerships of Gyms with your Pokémon.
5. ARBasketball
ARBasketball is an augmented reality basketball game. Here, you must aim your camera at an empty field or area, and it will create an artificial basketball hoop. In order to play the game you must first print the marker. After that you will see the hoop at the same point where you've placed the marker.
The game is played by swiping the screen to throw the ball and the objective is to make as much points as possible. It has three different game modes, including a multiplayer mode. It has global leaderboards where you can check your progress and compete with friends, as well as social networks integration. It can also support the retina display.
One of the most useful features it has is that it will automatically save your progress when you receive a phone call or when you exit the application. The visuals and sound are well polished, however they need to make it more challenging in the single player mode.
6. Paintball Arena
Paintball Arena is a multiplayer only, arena style shoot them up game. You can earn currency by completing missions while playing with your friends, which you then use to unlock new paintball guns and industrial grade paintball grenade launchers. This game can be played in any surroundings, but it requires a WiFi connection. Before you start playing, you must first specify your opponent's individual shirt color in order for the game to detect him.
Then, you must select a game mode by choosing a time limit or unlimited time. After that, the game starts. Hits will make your phone vibrate, while, and this is a very important piece of information for it took me a long time to figure it out, shaking your phone will reload your weapon.

7. SpecTrek
SpecTrek is a ghost hunting augmented reality game where, with the help of your camera and GPS, you must catch virtual ghosts in real surroundings. By holding your phone like you were reading a map, makes the game go into radar mode, so you can better track the shades.
This augmented reality game creates an amazing atmosphere and you can mess around with it for hours without being bored. I must admit that I had loads of fun playing this with friends at the park.
8. Toyota 86 AR
First thing's first! Download and print the Made to Thrill marker. After that you simply put the printed marker on the floor and then you start up the game. It creates an augmented test-drive track where you can practice your driving skills. The controls are simple and easy to use and in no time at all you will be the master of the track.
The game's developers stated that their objective was to make the consumer "scream with enjoyment" and that is exactly what they've accomplished. It has good graphics, great control and if you are a fan of the genre, then this is a must have game. You can also surf to the above mentioned web site in order to find out how to make your Toyota 86 AR films and upload them on Youtube.
9. AR Invaders
Just as the name suggests, AR Invaders is a space invaders game. You must join forces with the Earth's resistance in order to defend our planet and fight your way trough hordes of invading aliens. It can be played in two separate modes depending on your position. If you are standing then the game is a 360 degrees shoot them up, while in a sitting position it shifts to a 180 degrees, in a defend your base mode.
The biggest problem I've found with this game is the inability to move your saves on your SD card, because it has a rather nasty tendency to fill up your phone's memory really quick.
10. Zombies Everywhere! The Augmented Reality Apocalypse
Zombies Everywhere! The Augmented Reality Apocalypse is one of those zombie augmented reality games that allows you to battle the undead. This AR game for iOS also has two game modes. First, your standard, run of the mill survival mode and a second, "safe" mode, where you get to attack and kill zombies, but they will not harm you in any way.
The zombies will slowly move towards you in an attempt to devour your brains. They added a bit of diversity to the game, by encountering more nasty and powerful zombies the more you manage to survive. For the duration of this game you will come across different types of creatures, from mummies, to undead dogs and many more. You will unlock different kinds of weapons as you kill zombies.
11. AR Race 2
AR Race 2 is the app to use for flying AR Drone while using your iPhone or iPad. It requires a WiFi connection and it has two game modes: timed race or free flight. If the area you choose has buildings, rivers or trees in it, then they will become part of the track. It is a very cool app, where you can make your drone do aerobatics in mid air by simply double tapping your screen.
My personal experience with it was amazing. It was a whole lot easier than I've imagined, with precise and smooth controls. At first I doubted the quality of my camera, so I've attached my "GoPro", but then I found out that it works just fine with my phone's camera as well. At one time, I even took the chance of flying it by a river but, surprisingly, I had full control over its movements.
12. AR Defender 2
AR Defender 2 is a multiplayer only, tower defense game with AR capability. You must position your defenses strategically in order to repel attacks and keep the enemy away from your tower. You can play it basically anywhere and you have the option to choose between the augmented reality version and the classic mode. You can unlock up to six different characters, each one with their individual style and fight against 15 distinctive types of enemies.
AR Defender 2 runs very well and it's loads of fun. Although, I wish it had an option that will make your character repair structures on its own. It is more of an inconvenience than a problem to make your hero stand still next to the object you want to repair and then push the "repair icon".
13. Parallel Kingdom
This is a location based MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online) game that turns your standard Google maps into a map filled with dungeons, castles and kingdoms. It got nominated for a bunch of awards, including best AR game, best MMO and best use of local service. In the standard D&D (Dungeon and Dragons) style you need to take on quests, go on adventures, explore creepy dungeons and splay dragons or monsters, in order to conquer new territory and rule "the world".
Just like a normal RPG (Role Playing Game), you will receive loot, level up and upgrade your skills during the course of the game. The cherry on top of the cake, is the ability to go into PvP mode, where you fight with other players. As one of my friends described it, "it's just like playing World of Warcraft in real life"
14. DroidShooting
This is a really fun and addictive game for you to play around the house. DroidShooting takes advantage of its AR capability and makes droids appear and attack you from every corner. It has a radar at the bottom of your screen so you can see from which direction the enemy is coming.
You have a wide range of weapon types to choose from, but you need to kill every single droid before the time runs out. I'll give one pro tip: "make sure you have enough space to turn around or you are going to have a bad time".
15. Skeeter Beater
This is one of those augmented reality games that you play when you're really, but really bored. I have included this one because it's so similar to a nostalgic game everybody used to play when the Symbian OS was the new best thing. This is a game where you "take revenge" on those pesky mosquitoes that used to ruin your summer evenings. All you do is squash AR insects on your screen, then move around the room to find more.
The more you hit, the more points you get. But be careful for if you miss, a point will be deducted from your score. After each completed level, the Skeeters become increasingly more difficult gaining speed, while your time limit is reduced. If you acquire enough points during a level in order to pass it, then you will enter the bonus mode that will last for the remainder of the round, without the risk of points being deducted if you miss.

16. iSnipeYou
If you ever get bored of the same shooter game you've played countless times before, then you might want to give this game a try. What it does, is transform you phone screen into a sniper rifle's scope, which you can use to take down real targets around you. Simply, point your phone's camera at the target you want to eliminate and press the fire button.
If you manage to get a head shot then an additional point will be awarded to you. The graphics are realistic enough, with blood splatter effects all over the place. You can also save your in-game screenshots so you can later share them with friends, or post them on Facebook. It utilizes a real time face detection system, so you won't have too much trouble hitting your target.
Download for Android: iSnipeYou Full version or iSnipeYou Lite version.
These have been our top picks for the best iOS augmented reality games today. Deeply implemented in the gaming industry, augmented reality is a great technology that will continue to boost our gaming experience for years to come.

Ingress used to be my favourite AR game for a while. I think it's a pretty good sub for pokemon go! Like a mix between geocaching and mmo. Pretty cool
Ingress is truly an awesome game. Is still my favourite. Not a fan of pokemon go though. I think GeoCaching plus MMO is the best way to explain the app.


We could look at New Year's Day as "just another day." After all we're simply going from one day to the next. It doesn't commemorate any special moment in history. Paul Revere and Betsy Ross were born on January first, but other than them nobody particularly famous was born on New Year's Day. You probably didn't even know they were born on that day. So what's the big deal about New Year's Day? Human beings seem to have an innate desire for new beginnings, do-overs, mulligans–or better yet, upgrades. When our computer glitches, loses connections, or needs to install upgrades, what do we do? Reboot. So this New Year let's follow our instinct, listen to the Spirit, and download some important upgrades…and reboot!


The SiS Protein Bar is your go to, to support muscle rebuild, the body's adaption to exercise and training effectiveness. A tasty alternative to a protein drink, when you need protein on the move. It is important to consume protein in close proximity to training sessions (i.e. before or after training) in order to maximize training adaptations. Protein intake is often overlooked by endurance athletes. SiS Protein Bars provide an appropriate quantity of high quality protein for before or immediately post exercise.

Upper Cervical Care is a unique approach to health care. Its primary focus is on locating and removing interference to the nervous system. The reason that's important is because the Nervous System's function is to control and coordinate all activities in the body. By removing this interference, we can allow the body to heal itself naturally.
Upper Cervical Care focuses on the relationship between the first two bones in the neck, the Atlas and Axis respectively. When the Atlas andAxis becomes misaligned and out of their normal position you have a neurological interference resulting in body imbalance. This phenomenon is known as the Atlas Subluxation Complex Syndrome.
How is the atlas subluxation corrected? Before correction can be made, there must be an accurate assessment of spinal misalignment. This assessment can only be obtained by looking at very precise x-rays. These views provide the doctor with a good understanding of how theAtlas has misaligned with the skull above and the Axis below.
A gentle adjustment to your neck helps to realign your neck to a balanced symmetrical position. Body Balance is achieved when the Atlas and Axis are restored to their normal position influencing the whole spine and ALL body systems.
You might ask: Can Upper Cervical Care Help Me?
Upper cervical care can help everyone – infants to seniors, mothers-to-be, athletes, and accident victims will benefit from a healthy spine and nervous system! If you have a health problem, an upper cervical doctor will strive to correct its cause, not just treat the symptoms. If you are symptom free, upper cervical care is one of the best ways to stay healthy.
