Tom Brady clears stadium suite and moves from Boston home amid Patriots exit talk
Tom Brady has fuelled speculation he could leave the New England Patriots by departing his home in the Boston area and clearing out his Gillette Stadium suite
Tom Brady has reportedly cleared out his family suite at Gillette Stadium amid mounting speculation he could leave the New England Patriots.
Brady, 42, will become a free agent in March and has kept his options open after the Patriots were eliminated from the play-offs in the Wild Card Round.
After a tough year, the Patriots could aim to move on from Brady whilst he could give himself one last challenge in the latter stages of his career.

Rumours he will depart have now been fuelled by Greg Hill reporting his family have completely cleaned out their suite inside Gillette Stadium, as well as moving house from Brookline, Massachusettes in Boston to a home in Greenwich, Connecticut - closer to New York than Boston.
Brady has remained tight-lipped on his future and refused to commit to staying with the Patriots in an interview last week.

"The contract things, a week after the season, I would say these things haven't even started to pick up. It's really not my concern at this point," Brady said on Westwood One with Jim Gray .
"It's been about decompressing and resting my mind a little bit and resting my body and spending time with the people who have supported me over the last six months.
"I love playing football. I love playing for this organization. I really don't know what it looks like moving forward, and I'm just taking it day to day.

"We are a week removed from the end of our season. There is a lot of time to figure these things out. I don't think any player or team is ready to make any commitments at this point, and I'm sure as the offseason progresses those things will take care of themselves.
"I can only say how I feel, and that's what's the truth to me and what's authentic to me, and I have no decision that I have made, and there won't be for some considerable time.
"I know there is speculation; there always is. That's just part of being in professional sports; that's part of being a professional athlete.

Graeme left University with a degree in a bizarre subject called Actuarial Science and entered the dark world of very grey people who worked every hour god sent and did numbers for breakfast, lunch & dinner. He got into writing algorithms behind Insurance company systems for surrender values, car insurance premiums and mortgage indemnity (remember the 80's property boom bust).
After 7 years of trying to finish the intolerable exams Graeme gave up and found he could make a good living working with data and MI systems. He loved the behind the scenes complexity with simplistic front ends for my fellow Actuarial users.
After a few years at the AA, Graeme was approached to set up an internal marketing analytics team and work with the central function running the warehouse. After 3 years he assumed total charge as we headed away from our parent company Centrica, and the rest as they say is history.
Following a further change of ownership in 2014 and increasing importance of data Graeme took on the role as Data & Insight Director. During the final 2years at the AA he led the business involvement in the Business Process Management and CRM system purchase of Pega and led the phase0 implementation of an operational SCV.
After 17 years and 5 changes of AA ownership Graeme decided to move totally outside his comfort zone, industry and location. In May 2016 Graeme took on the role as Chief Data Officer at Addison Lee to help transform their data, MI and analytics function.
18 months into that journey, as data is never finished, he is enjoying seeing the fruits of his data labour whilst also setting the strategy for the next 12months as Addison Lee grows globally and modernises its platform and processes.

"It reads like a novel, but it's all true"
— Joseph J. Fins, MD

How a group of small-town activists and college students set out to change healthcare
by Charles Barber
The story of how the work of one small group of people grew to meet the size of their calling: to ensure that Health Care is a Right, Not a Privilege.
Peace & Health is the story behind this improbable effort: the 20-year-old who plants the flag in his small hometown of Middletown, Connecticut; the daughter of a sharecropper, who made her way north during the great migration and becomes the North Star of the drive to transform health in the community; the son of a Jewish émigré and pharmacist who breaks from his peers to support the cause; the musician who played in the big bands of the South in the 1930's, who loses his teeth and is now determined to make sure others do not lose theirs; and the college student and future US Senator who helps buy the building so the free clinic would not be shut down permanently. A young nurse-practitioner joins the organization as it expands beyond one Connecticut town, and today, CHC and its Weitzman Institute operate programs across the US, transforming the delivery of health care for populations who have been ignored.
All proceeds from Peace & Health go to New Horizons Domestic Violence Services.
The story of the development of this community health center is awesome and inspiring. It is a striking example of individuals in a community recognizing an urgent need and working together to address that need. The Community Health Center exists today because of individuals who had a vision, and acted to fulfill it, exhibiting ingenuity, determination and persistence in overcoming many obstacles -- social, cultural and economic. Louis W. Sullivan, MD
President Emeritus, Morehouse School of Medicine, and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, 1989-1993
An antidote to modern cynicism. Charles Barber brilliantly tells the astonishing story of how an idea — healthcare as a right for all — can become a reality in one community. If you think it can't be done, read this book! Danielle Ofri, MD
Author of When We Do Harm: A Doctor Confronts Medical Error
Peace & Health reads like a novel but is all true: an inspiring story about community-based healthcare too easily ignored amidst medicine's penchant for high-tech care. Joseph J. Fins, MD
Professor of Medicine and Medical Ethics, Weill Cornell Medical College
In this affecting and expertly crafted book, Charles Barber tells the story of how a few inspired, resourceful, militantly decent people created from scratch an enduring institution that makes a lot of people's lives better. A much-needed reminder of what we're capable of at our best. Carlo Rotella, PhD
Professor of English, Boston College, and author of The World Is Always Coming to an End: Pulling Together and Apart in a Chicago Neighborhood
For those committed to community engagement, Peace & Health provides a deep wellspring of hope. Chyrell Bellamy, PhD
Director, Yale Program for Recovery and Community Health
More than a history of healthcare innovation, this book celebrates the passion that drives change in the world. Ian Roberts, MD
Professor of Epidemiology, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
In Peace and Health, Charles Barber combines the artistry of a novelist and the skills of a reporter to introduce the founders, providers and patients that epitomize the spirit and enterprise of a great experiment that serves 30 million low-income Americans, portraying a critical element of the arc of justice that MLK spoke of 50 years ago. Michael Rowe
Author of Citizenship and Mental Health and Crossing the Border: Encounters between Homeless Persons and Outreach Workers
Peace & Health is an inspiring story that illustrates the power of vision, persistence, and community. Mark Masselli had none of the financial capital, academic credentials, work experience, or training that we assume are requirements for building a healthcare organization and yet he developed one of the most successful Federally Qualified Health Centers in the country.. Masselli's ability to inspire supporters, engage partners, and overcome obstacles proved to more important than the traditional predictors of success. We can all learn from this remarkable story.

Джеральд Аллан «Джерри» Коэн (; 14.04.1941, Монреаль, Канада — 05.08.2009, Оксфорд, Англия) — политический философ, основоположник аналитического марксизма.

Биография
Окончил Университет Макгилла (бакалавр философии и политологии) и Оксфордский университет со степенью бакалавра философии (BPhil). В последнем учился у И. Берлина и Г. Райла.

На философском факультете Университетском колледже Лондона: в 1963—1964 годах ассистент лектора, в 1964—1979 годах лектор, в 1979—1984 годах преподаватель.

В 1985—2008 годах Chichele-профессор общественно-политической теории оксфордского Колледжа Всех Душ.

В 2008—2009 годах Quain-профессор (Quain Professor) юриспруденции Университетского колледжа Лондона.

С выходом в 1978 году в свет его книги «Karl Marx's Theory of History: A Defence» и организованного им её обсуждения в Лондоне в 1979 году, которым было положено начало серии встреч, ставших потом ежегодными, связывают возникновение нового направления в марксистской теории, позже получившего название «аналитический марксизм». В рамках встреч впоследствии сформировалась Сентябрьская группа (такое название она получила за то, что встречи эти проводились в сентябре).

I was literally born in the printing business. My parents started their small printing company in 1968 and I was born a year later. I got into my fair share of trouble around the printing shop. As a kid (and adult) I would go to the ink cans and play around with the "skin" and poke it, smear it, smell it, and even taste it (just once, though). I was always getting into the printing ink and as a kid, I was always wearing ink on ALL my clothes and this ink didn't come out in the wash. My mom would scorn my sisters and me for ruining every piece of good clothing we ever had because we were not operating a press but just "playing". Even my father would always manage to get ink all over himself and in his later working days, he didn't have to operate a printing press but somehow, someway he would always get ink on a brand new shirt or a pair of pants. It is like it just magically jumped out of the can onto all of us... except for our mom.
Direct Mail is still the least expensive form of advertising – ESPECIALLY if you have a VERY SPECIFIC TARGETED MAILING LIST. If you already have a very reliable and accurate mailing list, then that is great. But if you don't, McStatts' Printing can help with that and can narrow a mailing list down to zip code or within a certain radius of a business address or other demographics like age, annual income, occupation, hobbies and interest, or whether there are children in the household. These mailing lists are very accurate. The success of a Mail Campaign depends mostly on this mailing list. If you need more sales but don't know how, then direct mail is the answer and McStatts' Printing can find the right mailing list and produce a successful mailer.

Kutcher 'uncanny' as Apple boss
Ashton Kutcher's portrayal of Steve Jobs has been praised by his co-star
November 12 2012 11:38 AM
Ashton Kutcher is "uncanny" as late Apple boss Steve Jobs, his co-star Josh Gad has revealed.
https://www.independent.ie/entertainment/movies/kutcher-uncanny-as-apple-boss-28895804.html
https://www.independent.ie/migration_catalog/26ee7/28897832.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/N0286181352718822708A_1
The Two And A Half Men star, 34, portrays the inventor, who died of pancreatic cancer in October 2011, in the upcoming biopic Jobs.
Josh, who plays Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, told US Weekly: "I think it's going to be pretty wonderful. Ashton is going to blow a lot of people away. His performance was absolutely transformational.
"If he looked any more like Steve Jobs, I think it would just confuse a lot of people in thinking Steve Jobs never passed away. It's that uncanny."
The 31-year-old actor, who has appeared in Love And Other Drugs and 21, has been impressed by how much Ashton has thrown himself into the role.
"He really immersed himself. I think he has an appreciation for Steve Jobs, the likes of which I've never seen in any actor who's portrayed a real, living person," Josh continued.
"Ashton is one of the most giving actors I've ever worked with. I was surprised by his work every day," he added.
Jobs, which also stars Dermot Mulroney and Matthew Modine, follows the life and career of Steve from 1971 to 2011. Directed by Joshua Michael Stern, it's scheduled for release in 2013.

Difference Between BDO and PDC
Since the British Darts Organization (BDO) divided into the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC), there have been various conflicts around the two. Since its inception, PDC has been a household name, even though BDO has been around longer. Because of this, they are both unique in their own way.
BDO Vs. PDC
BDO was the first and first darts organization to be created, but PDC was formed after BDO was divided into two separate organizations many years later. Over time, the BDO and PDC hosted their own competitions.
The British Darts Organization is known as the BDO. Olly Craft founded this company in 1973 in order to host professional darts tournaments in the United Kingdom. Darts events of all levels were included in the definition. First World Professional Darts Championship was held in 1978 by the BDO as well.
Professional Darts Corporation is known as PDC. In 1992, a group of players came together to start this organization. PDC was formed as a distinct organization after a disagreement between Olly Craft and the BDO's best players, which resulted in a split in BDO. For a while, PDC stood for the World Darts Council (WDC).
What is BDO?
The British Darts Organization is known as the BDO. Olly Craft created the organization on January 7, 1973. Darts had been governed by the National Darts Association of Great Britain (NDAGB) since 1954, when the BDO was formed to take its place. These regulations were widely accepted by other darts organizations, including PDC, since BDO was the first.
Darts had fallen out of favor by 1984, and as a result, less of the sport was being covered on television. Since several of the game's major advertisers dropped out, the game's revenue has decreased significantly. It was being questioned if darts could be a full-time job, even for the world's best players. When Olly Craft and a group of 19 darts players had a disagreement, they formed the World Darts Council as a result of this disagreement (WDC).
In 1978, the BDO held the first-ever professional World Professional Darts Championship.. For the following 26 years, until 2003, this competition was held. The Lakeside World Professional Darts Championship was established in 2004 and ran until 2019.
It has becoming more difficult for professional darts players to compete in BDO tournaments due to a decline in tournament quality. WDF declared in December 2019 that it will no longer recognize the BDO as the governing organization of darts in Great Britain.
What is PDC?
As its name suggests, PDC is a championship for professional dart players. In 1992, a group of 19 players broke away from the BDO to start a new organization, which became known as the World Darts Organization. Before it was renamed, the World Darts Council (WDC) was the name of the organization they founded.
It was immediately apparent that BDO was inferior to PDC because of the unhealthy and unethical procedures that BDO had been using. Thus, the greatest dart players banded together against BDO and founded PDC, which featured superior players from the start. With the loss of BDO's popularity, sponsors began to invest in PDC as a viable alternative. Professional dart players were able to make more money because to greater sponsorships. For this reason, every fresh rising star desired to compete in PDC.
The PDC tournaments have become one of the most popular darts events in the world. Broadcasts of Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events were first shown on Sky Sports in 1992. However, since PDC's popularity grows year after year, it is currently broadcast on several TV stations throughout the globe, including Sky Sports, BBC, and One World Sports, among others. Sky Sports broadcasts six PDC events on its own.
There were no regulations for professional darts defined by PDC before to 2019, whereas the BDO had been in charge of this until 2019.
Due to a dearth of possibilities for pros, BDO is not quite as popular as PDC.
There is no comparison between BDO players and PDC players in terms of quality. It's clear that PDC players are superior than BDO players.
There is no live transmission of PDC tournaments on YouTube, however they may be seen on subscription-based TV networks.
As early as the first quarter of 2020, BDO will be liquidated. On the other side, the popularity of PDC is at an all-time high.
Since BDO and PDC were separated, there have been several shows of animosity between the two organizations. People from both PDO and BDO were seen making fun of each other. When BDO was the only company in the country, it was a huge hit with the public.
Unhealthy activities including drinking, smoking, and fighting on national television have transformed it into an unprofessional organization. As a consequence, several of the best players in the world spoke out against similar instances. Sponsors and players alike began to distance themselves from the group.
The separation of BDO was a huge setback for the company. Since the game's popularity waned over the years, so did the game's quality. In terms of opportunity, sponsorships, and ethics, PDC was superior. It was a no-brainer for the world's best darts players to join the PDC. It was an enormous boost for the players, but the viewers were able to attend both BDO and PDC matches at the same time. There were even calls for BDO and PDC champions to play against each other in order to establish a single uncontested world champion.
BDO is now a platform for new players as well as an established one. BDO is the ideal venue for newcomers to show off their skills. Since all the best darts players are in the PDC, BDO provides the newcomers a chance to shine on television.

SB Nation Review
https://www.sbnation.com/
Launched in 2005, SB Nation is a leading sports blogging network. Once known as Sports Blog Nation, SB Nation started off as a single blog, specifically covering only the Oakland Athletics baseball team. Within a couple of years, after being purchased and rebranded by Vox Media, the company was able to expand with it's new found success and financial backing.
During it's expansion years, SB Nation was a steady, but fast growing company. Within a few years after it's launch, the company successfully continued to grow by gaining financial help, thus hiring more writers to expand it's blogging and sports coverage. Once primarily a blog for the Oakland Athletics, SB Nation grew it's coverage to NHL, NBA, NFL, MLB, along with College sports.
As a long time fan of the website, you have the appreciate the growth of the company and how it's able to rebrand itself over the years. Visually, it's not as impressive as other bigger websites, but I believe SB Nation is more focused on it's writing content rather than it's visual presentation. While SB Nation offers great blogging content, they also have have video blogs that stand out. It's quirky and out of the box approach with it's video blogs is what stands out the most for me.
As an avid reader, I love what SB Nation brings to the table and it represents an old school feel to sports reporting. While it does lack a few things such as a live sports ticker or video highlights, it does thrive on personal team report blogging which is a big plus if you're a fan of a specific team. It's also easy on the eyes, as it's very user friendly and doesn't spam your viewing pleasures with multiple obnoxious ads.
Overall, a great sports website if you're into blogs and appreciate a simplistic approach.
MrSportsGeek Pros for SB Nation
Infinite amounts of great reading material
Simplistic approach
MrSportsGeek Cons for SB Nation
Lacks video highlights
No sports ticker or daily sports scores

[12-29-12 0957 Comments closed.] [UPDATE 2158 HST: I know there is probably a lot of information in all these People's Trust documents that is new to the majority of you. And I cannot vouch for every detail of this, nor have I read all of the documents at PeoplesTrust1776.org, nor am I posting this with the intention that everyone should believe all of these things. But I can only suggest keeping an open mind, and viewing this from the Light of one's Higher Self. And if you think this is a bunch of #@$$#, then pay no attention to it.
Ever since getting the first email about this (next post), I have felt that the trustees carrying this out are doing this from the Light, for the Light, and by the Light, and for the People of this planet. It is theirs to do, and they are doing it.
Pardon for that long title. The document in this post at AK's blog, is a follow up to the first disclosure document from One People's Public Trust (see, "Important Document Released 12-25-12… "Official Announcement from The One People's Public Trust""). The trustees answer some questions about things like, "What's this all about, here??" This also relates to the other One People's Public Trust document (see, ""Treasury Finance AG: Final Bullet Report – Paradigm… A Report on Bank, Judicial and Government Corruption"").
The document itself is available here, at AK's scribd account, or here, at my storage site.
I've highlighted a few items in colors. Also I am leaving comments open for awhile so that you may make comments and in particular, ask questions you may have about this. I will assemble the questions into a list and send them the Heather Ann Tucci-Jarraf, the trustee who contacted me and AK two days ago. Please keep your comments brief and to the point. Thank you.
In regards to questions of the amount of value. In Truth, the value of all of the creator's universe and the creations manifested equally and existing therein, are unlimited and priceless. During the process of reconciling the inferior legal with the universal lawful, a sum certain value was knowingly, willingly, and intentionally set for very specific purposes and reasons which are, and will continue to be, further disclosed as we the people of this planet, with all of creation's universe, responsibly proceed in the manifestation of the "now". The key word that everyone seems to have missed in the statement of total value to each of the people in the first ANNOUNCEMENT is the word "over". Independent disclosure of the actual gold, silver, and other metal holdings, inclusive of their location and former custody for eons, and in some cases relocation, is forthcoming. However, the amount of FIVE BILLION (5,000,000,000) in gold and silver to every state of body, every one of the people of this planet, is correct….please, when you have any information before you, consider recognizing and accepting that during this incredible moment of present that is manifesting, that a lot of energy is happening simultaneously and may cause any one of us to miss, or not "see" what IS…including moments of present of simultaneous release of energies of old, energy of relief, energy of excitement, energy of fear, energy of…well, there are so many. We are committed to, and we request that each of the people are committed to, consciously and prudently considering what IS in front of of us…taking every moment to re-read, re-consider, discuss, dissect, assist and meditate to resonate with the Truth of what IS, of what IS and has been in front of us, within us at the many, many, many moments of present that are now consciously manifesting by choice of free will consciously exercised and applied.

Fans of beleaguered smartphone manufacturer Apple have got their knickers in rather a twist at Waterloo's recent move to offer victims a way out from Apple la-la-land and to the green, sunny uplands of the rest of us.
Yes, my friends, the poor dears, supporters of such utter tripe as #bendgate, #antennagate, #hairgate, #ios8, er, gate, iCloud hacks aplenty, iPhones literally setting themselves on fire and burning people and now, of course, #scratchgate… deep breath… just cannot understand why on earth anyone would like to get rid of such a quality product for a BLACKBERRY, of all things.
BlackBerry is running a promotion in the US for iPhone owners to swap their devices for money towards a brand new BlackBerry Passport, including the iPhone 6.
Why they would want to is anybody's guess, but the offer includes a cash amount to put to the BlackBerry phone based on the trade-in value of your iPhone plus and additional amount from BlackBerry to keep things sweet.
The deal runs in the States from 1 December to 13 February so you have a little while if you want to get your hands on BlackBerry's oddest looking phone yet. And the offer is strictly for North American customers only so sorry to all Brits who were desperate to ditch their iPhone 6s in favour of something that's even more cumbersome to fit in a front pocket.
You can use the offer on BlackBerry's own store site or through Amazon.com only.
Let's hope someone in the UK puts on a similar offer. We fancy trading in our 2014 Ferrari F12berlinetta for a camel.
Leaving aside the temptation to burst out laughing (ok, I admit it, I did) at the headline and the fact that, rather appropriately, right next to this article was an ad proclaiming – 'Why is my iPhone so slow? How do I make my iPhone faster? How do I get rid of things I don't need on my iPhone? Questions that plague us all.', let's try and help poor old Rik Henderson out, shall we?
Or shall we leave it to the good folk of Tom's Guide who, on October 6th, just a few weeks after the iPhone 6/iOS8 launch gave us this handy cut out and keep guide?
Apple needs to get its act together. With the release of the iPhone 6, 6 Plus and iOS 8, Apple's fans are once again struck by a host of glitches on their devices. From faulty software and problematic updates to a bendable physical body, here are all the ways the new Apple products have failed so far.
Sure, the LG G Flex smartphone has a self-healing bendable body and screen, but Apple fans don't have to be jealous. You can also bend the iPhone 6 Plus just by storing the device in your pocket for about a day. Only thing is, your phone may not straighten back up. Your curvy new phone will retain an unsightly bend.
When the Touch ID fingerprint sensor debuted on the iPhone 5s, enterprising hackers took immense joy in proving just how easy it was to fool the system. Using just fingerprint powder, fingerprint tape, a laser printer and some glue, German hackers easily bypassed the fingerprint lock on an iPhone 5s. It seems Apple has learned little from the incident last year — you can still crack the iPhone 6's Touch ID with the same method. The iPhone 6's fingerprint sensor has been slightly improved to make it somewhat tougher to crack, but it is still fallible. Given Touch ID will be the main means of verification for the new Apple Pay mobile payment system, this is quite a serious flaw.
Apple itself is already aware of several of the issues with its new operating system. In fact, the company created an update that addresses a list of problems that includes third-party keyboards being deselected when entering passcodes and certain apps being denied access to the Photo Library. iOS 8 also stopped Apple's Safari browser from being able to upload photos and videos, and sometimes does not restore ringtones from iCloud backups. The good news is, at least Apple is aware of these issues now, right?
In addition to being an all-around glitch fest, the entire iOS 8 system will cause your phone's programs to crash more often than on the preceding version. According to a study by mobile analytics firm Crittercism, iOS 8 is causing apps to crash 65 percent more frequently than iOS 7. Of course, the comparison is slightly unfair; iOS 7 is now a stable release, while iOS 8 still has plenty of kinks to work out.
If you drive an Acura, BMW, Honda, Jeep, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Toyota or Porsche, you might not be able to connect your iPhone 6 to your vehicle, thanks to a Bluetooth failure. Many drivers have been unable to receive or send phone calls via their cars' built-in system after changing to an iPhone 6. In some cases, the iPhone 6 gets stuck trying to find the car as it scans for Bluetooth devices in the area, even if the driver is sitting inside of it.
Many people in the Apple discussion forums are reporting that their cameras are stalling or turning black, either while trying to focus or after going into the photo gallery then back to the viewfinder. This happened mostly to people who upgraded an older device, such as an iPad 4, an iPhone 5 or iPhone 4s to iOS 8. In some cases, the camera app wouldn't even load. Some of these users took their iPhones to their local Apple stores, and while some of them had their issues fixed with a replacement or a software reset, others reported having to fork over $200 for a new iPhone.
Those who use their iPhones or iPads to access work email accounts or any mail stored on a Microsoft Exchange server may find themselves unable to send or receive messages from those accounts on an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus. As many people in the Apple discussion forums, as well as one of our readers, noted, it appears you are able to set up your account on your new iPhone, but the system will fail to make a connection. Some people were able to fix the issue by resetting network connections (under Settings -> General), or by removing some devices linked to Exchange, since there's a 10-device limit. Many people report that, despite having tried those steps, they still haven't fixed their problems. This issue appears to affect only iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, since some running iOS 8 on iPad 2 or iPhone 5s say they can get their mail just fine.
Apple's Wi-Fi Sync feature on iTunes 10 and up lets you share apps, music, bookmarks, contacts, calendars, photos and notes between your laptop and iOS device wirelessly. But the iOS 8 update broke that tool, making it impossible for you to sync files between iTunes and your updated iOS device over Wi-Fi. Several users reported the upgrade causing their devices to disappear from the Devices list on iTunes. You'll have to tether yourself to your laptop with a USB cable to sync your files. Some people managed to fix it by resetting network connections under Settings, but that has not solved the problem for others having the same trouble. The iPhone 6 (and iOS 8) is also plagued by several other network problems, such as AirPrint not working with some models of printers.
For $20, the Apple-branded lightning cable should work reliably. But with the iOS 8 update, many people are seeing incompatibility issues between their devices and the lightning cable. Our own senior writer Valentina Palladino was surprised to see a notice saying, "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone" after plugging her iPhone 5 into a wall outlet with an Apple-supplied cord. After a week or so of seeing that message, the device stopped charging altogether, and would only work if she plugged it into her computer. Others have noted the same issue as well, and no solution has been reported yet, other than going to see a Genius at an Apple store. In addition to not recognizing its own charging cable, the iOS 8 update also appears to cause a longer charging time than normal.
I know! That's a bit clever, isn't it!
So, when your resident iPhonian comes out with the crap that he can't believe that people would actually want to swap their bendy brick iPhone for a BlackBerry, don't laugh too hard.
Take pity on the poor soul. He's a drowning man, after all. It'll only take a 2 minute demo for him to see just how far behind they really are now.
And then it's up to him!
Either cling on to the past or embrace the future.
And if he doesn't and insists on telling you how stupid you are for even thinking that BlackBerry are even on a par with Apple (they do that , you'll notice) do yourself a favour and leave it. Sit back and be safe in the knowledge that, not only is he wrong, but that he is VERY WRONG indeed.
The fun you will be having with him over the coming months will be priceless.

We treat our customers like good friends.
There's an abundance of fuel companies that sell their customers on family values. But at Great Valley Propane, we live by these values every day. Why? Because we live where you live. We raise our kids here and always strive toward making our neighborhood a good one. That's why you come first.
We have been in the heating & cooling business for over 30 years and started Great Valley Propane (GVP) in 2006, as the sister company of Haly Oil (now Haly Home Comfort). We first started the business when we saw our customer's need for propane in conjunction to heating oil. We wanted to help our current customers and other propane users in our area, by offering affordable propane with no hidden hazmat, delivery, or any other miscellaneous fees. For our customers that use us for both heating oil and propane, we give them our Dual Fuel Discount — $0.05/gal off of all of their oil and LP deliveries.
Our automatic delivery customers benefit from our Constant Comfort Guarantee, which we pride ourselves on since it is the first of its kind in our industry. It is our promise to always stay on top of our automatic delivery customer's delivery schedule and make sure that they never run out of fuel during the heating season (which runs from October 1st until April 30th). We are so committed to this, that if you do run out of fuel during the heating season, we will give you a $50 credit on your account.
We like to treat all of our customers like friends at Great Valley Propane. So, when you refer one of your friends to Haly Home Comfort or Great Valley Propane and they sign up for automatic delivery, you will both get a $100 credit on your account. You can see your $100 credits stack up by telling more than one friend, which is something a lot of our customers like to take advantage of, to help them save big time on their heating and cooling bills. Simply, fill out the form below to refer a friend and you will receive an email confirmation once the credits have been applied.

COLUMN: Football is stacked in talent in spring ball
By JAKE DAVIDSON
April 9, 2017 in Columns, Sports
Now that college basketball is over, the countdown to football season officially begins. While we are still a long summer away from fall camp and the start of the season, spring football always provides an exciting glimpse into the future.
This year is no different, especially at USC, where some former highly touted recruits are making a name for themselves. This seems to be an annual trend for Trojan players. As the team restocks its talent reservoirs, there will be more spring standouts than ever as pieces begin to fall into place for Helton's second season at the helm.
In the past, the springtime has been a showcase for talent and potential. While some players who shined in spring ball failed to make a similar impact in the regular season, such as Isaac Whitney and De'Quan Hampton, others have used the 14 sessions to stake a claim for their future starting spot.
Last spring, redshirt sophomore quarterback Sam Darnold had everyone talking on a daily basis. His skills and in-game ability were evident every time the ball was snapped, and it was obvious that it was only a matter of time until he took the helm as the starter.
This year is a bit different for Darnold. Instead of surprising everyone with his immense talent, he enters the spring as a Heisman trophy frontrunner and potential first pick in the 2018 draft, earning serious hype at this year's NFL Combine despite the fact that he won't be eligible to attend until next year.
While hopefully he stays for more than just this year, his performance thus far has only added to the growing hype. Many preseason media darlings struggle to adjust under the bright lights, but Darnold seems to be excelling in this role and leading the team. Barring injury, his sophomore campaign could be one for the record books.
Darnold certainly highlights and accentuates the talent around him, but he is blessed to have a diverse and dynamic receiving corps. The Trojans will miss Darreus Rogers' dependability and JuJu Smith-Schuster's raw power and playmaking skills, but the team seems to have a few different stars in the making during spring ball.
If his Rose Bowl performance — and excellent November before that — didn't cement junior wide receiver Deontay Burnett's status as an excellent wideout, this spring is certainly helping. Burnett came in with the reputation of a burner, but what is really impressive is his sure-handedness and knack for finding openings in the defense.
The fact that he has blazing speed is just an added bonus, as the Darnold-Burnett combination looks to be even better than it was last season, which should have defenses concerned.
In addition to Burnett, sophomore wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. may be able to step in and make some of the plays that Smith-Schuster and Rogers have been making for the Trojans over the last few years. Pittman is exceptionally strong in his position, and flashed glimpses of his potential last season, especially in the rout of Oregon. This spring, he has continued to refine his route-running skills and will be a handful for defenses in the fall.
The Trojans are much deeper than just those two. Redshirt freshman wide receivers Tyler Vaughns and Velus Jones are showing the Trojan fanbase why they were both so heavily recruited as members of the 2016 class, and they should give those fans something to look forward to for the future.
Vaughns, a five-star recruit, is in the mold of recent standouts like Nelson Agholor and Marquise Lee, with a potent combination of size and athleticism. Jones has similar speed as last year's Thorpe Award winner Adoree' Jackson, but packs quite the punch, as he weighs 185 pounds. Both are raw, but the potential for greatness is clearly there, and Helton will have a lot to work with as he molds these two players.
Finally, the Imatorbhebhe brothers are the real deal. I cannot imagine how many high school defensive coordinators in Georgia had ulcers trying to devise game plans to stop both of them. The elder brother, Daniel, has already made a name for himself as the most sure handed and explosive tight end at USC since either Fred Davis or Dominique Byrd. His younger brother, Josh, was actually the more heavily recruited of the pair, and he is living up to his billing this spring, making life difficult for opposing defensive backs. The pair will help to buoy an already brutal air attack for the Trojans.
The Trojans are lucky to have so much depth in the wideout and tight end positions, and with Darnold slinging the ball around next fall and a crop of excellent running backs, the Trojans have the makings of a truly spectacular offense that could prove to be exceptionally difficult for opponents to beat in the upcoming season.
The defensive side also has some standouts, especially along the outside of the defensive line. Senior inside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu has been an absolute matchup nightmare so far, and junior outside linebacker Porter Gustin is equally fearsome on the opposite side.
If some of the young interior tackles can come in and make an impact right away while buoying the defensive line with junior Rasheem Green and redshirt senior Kenny Bigelow, the Trojans will once again have a fast and attacking defense that is just as dazzling for USC fans as the offensive unit.
This spring is proving that recruitment and player development both matter. Head coach Clay Helton and his staff have done an excellent job bringing in talent and coaching the players up, and it is clearly elevating the level of play. Of course, spring doesn't mean much in comparison to the fall, but it is encouraging to see the Trojans looking great thus far.

This is a cute book. Rather than a dry a reference to the "Valerian" comic-book universe, it's presented in a fun style that captures the spirit of Pierre Christin's and Mezieres' work – which makes sense, as they are the creators of this tome. For example, instead of a preface by Valerian and Laureline, there's a comic page of them preparing to write a preface.
Rather than a dry a reference to the "Valerian" comic-book universe, it's presented in a fun style that captures the spirit of Christin's and Mezieres' work.
Several more comic spreads follow, often capturing Laureline's big-hearted love of the diversity of creatures in the universe. Of course, the Shingouz, for one (or three, as it were), love her back. They get a special section, and the Glapum'tians (think Ralph) get robust coverage too. Every major creature from the 23 Christin-and-Mezieres volumes gets an entry.
Christin also chronicles the time-travel-shattered timeline of the "Valerian and Laureline" saga, which is confusing in both a natural and funny way. When he writes about the mysteries of time travel, he's pontificating about it rather than making definitive statements. Even after the C&M saga is over, it's still a story of discovery more so than definitive answers.
I have to give a demerit for regular typos and errors that probably came from the French-to-English translation. They are disappointing, but they don't cut into the readability too much. It's a shame there's no section on Valerian's ship; techno-geeks might find this book a letdown. It also would've been nice if the entries pointed readers to the volumes where those creatures, locations, etc. can be found.
Still, for fans with every "Valerian" comic album on their shelf, "The Illustrated Treasury" deserves a spot, too.
This companion to Luc Besson's "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets" is a visual feast, giving fans tons of examples of lush production art from the beautiful film. These pieces are usually given the space they need – sometimes double-page spreads — for us to enjoy the details.
The presentation of the book itself is a letdown, though. The designer chose gray text on white backgrounds; it's readable, but not pleasing to look at.
Author Mark Salisbury doesn't go much beyond the surface of Besson's moviemaking process. To be fair, this is an art book, not a making-of book, but I think he could've gone slightly deeper. I remain curious about why Besson chose to adapt some elements from C&M's work directly, yet change the names. For example, Point Central becomes Alpha, the Transmuter becomes the Converter, and the beloved Shingouz are renamed the Doghan Daguis. I am pleased to see some comparison photos with the comic art, though.
Here, unlike in "The Illustrated Treasury," we get a few pages on Valerian's ship, unnamed in the comics, called the Tempus Fugit in the cartoon and called The Intruder XB982 in the film. No blueprints, though; it's not that kind of book.
This isn't a complaint, but an observation: There are hardly any examples of paths not taken by the designers. Everything is in the general ballpark of what we see in the finished film. While the movie is sometimes criticized for his big budget, it seems from this book like the pre-production process was efficient. As one spread shows, fans even designed several background characters, as part of a contest.
Mega-fans of the movie will want to grab this book just because there is no other published reference about it; more casual fans can skip it, especially if they're not all about the visual arts side. Personally, I would've enjoyed a companion piece that goes beyond the art into the overall process of making the film.


Author Marty Wingate visits my pages today to talk about her new cozy mystery, The Bluebonnet Betrayal. Welcome, Marty.
Someone has said that authors write what they want to read, and for the most part that's true for me. I love the traditional and cozy mysteries because they are always so much more than a puzzle to solve. There's the setting, which is important to me (and so I've made it important in my books) and the characters' stories. I have been known to begin reading a series, like it, and then pick up subsequent books and scan them, looking for mention of my favorite character from the previous book! I like the overall series arc the main character has (or should have).
The Bluebonnet Betrayal takes place at one of my favorite yearly events, the Chelsea Flower Show in London. This is the fifth book in the Potting Shed series and Pru Parke (American gardener who has moved to England) gets an out-of-the-blue email from a long-ago co-worker at the Dallas Arboretum asking Pru if she would help the Austin Rock Garden Society build a display at Chelsea. How can she say no? Once committed, however, she discovers back-biting, resentments, and jealousies among the contractor, designer, and the Austin women who show up to work. The murder is particularly difficult for Pru and so it's a sort of campaign for her to help solve it.
My reader is someone who likes to travel – I think that's part of the allure of a series set abroad) and enjoys the outdoors. It isn't necessary to be a fantastic gardener, but gardens do figure prominently. So does food – Pru loves a good meal, but she is not a cook. Also, my reader likes a mystery, but doesn't necessarily need a detailed description of someone's brains being blown to bits. Know what I mean?
I write new material mostly in the morning, and I rewrite and edit some in the afternoons. I write or attend to the story in some way every day. It becomes a part of me, so that I am never at a loss for something to do while waiting in a line or sitting on a bus or train. I have a story in my head, and I'm my own entertainment.
Write. Don't know where to begin? Don't think of it as a beginning – the first words you put down could end up in chapter three. Read. Read books that you enjoy (I steer clear of books I'm "supposed" to read). Absorb all those wonderful words. Talk about writing. Talk about story arcs and character development. Do this with friends, or at writing workshops. Join a writing group or just go out regularly for coffee with one writing friend.

Q: Not getting correct channel length after putting/recieving from channel I am learning Go from a Tour of Go . I modified the code given at Range and Close page to see the length of channel before and after a value is put in channel in fibonacci func. Also checked length after a value is read in main func's loop.
package main

import "fmt"

func fibonacci(n int, c chan int) {
    x, y := 0, 1
    for i := 0; i <= n; i++ {
        fmt.Println("fib - len before: ", len(c))
        c <- x
        fmt.Println("fib - len after : ", len(c))
        x, y = y, x+y
    }
    close(c)
}

func main() {
    c := make(chan int, 3)
    go fibonacci(cap(c), c)
    for i := range c {
        fmt.Println("main - len now: ", len(c))
        fmt.Println("value recieved: ", i)
    }
}

Output is:
fib - len before:  0
fib - len after :  0 ////// not expecting this
fib - len before:  0 ////// not expecting this
fib - len after :  1
fib - len before:  1
fib - len after :  2
fib - len before:  2
fib - len after :  3
main - len now:  0 ////// not expecting this
value recieved:  0
main - len now:  2
value recieved:  1
main - len now:  1
value recieved:  1
main - len now:  0
value recieved:  2

I am surprised to see that:

*

*In Fibonacci func, for iteration 1, the channel length remains 0 after putting value in channel?

*In main func loop's iteration 1, the channel length shows 0 even though the full fibonacci series is filled up in channel?

I had learnt len(chan) gives the number of elements queued (unread) in the channel buffer. But ooutput is constrasting for first iteration of my code. Could someone please help me understand this?

A Panama Multiple Listing Service?
Tom Gibbs May 2013
I've stumbled on an interesting extension of the popular web site Shopperty that could go a long way toward making the real estate market in Panama more transparent. It's simply an extension of Shopperty dedicated to real estate, and further restricted to Panama. The site lists homes, land and rentals and allows owners or real estate agents to list property that can be easily searched by potential buyers. The site is easy to use, both for buyers and sellers. Check it out at the link below.

The Happiest Place....
Tom Gibbs January 2013
Disney World markets itself as the Happiest Place on Earth, but here's some exciting news. Panama is officially the Happiest Country in the World!! Imagine what could happen with a new Disney Property in Panama.
All kidding aside, Gallup has made official what many of us have felt for a long time. Their 2012 survey of actual residents of says that PAnamanians have the most positive emotions of any people in any country on earth. You can read Tom Brymer's article about this survey at this link.
http://panamaadvisoryinternationalgroup.com/blog/news-from-panama/panama-the-happiest-country-in-the-world/
If you've visited Panama lately, this may explain the sense of happiness you feel when you're here. If you haven't visited, yet, hurry up. It's like experiencing the "happiness" of Disney but on a country-wide scale.
Splurging, on a budget.
Tom Gibbs June 2013
There's an interesting article, reprinted by Tom Brymer in his Panama Perspective newsletter, that places Panama City as number three from the bottom in most expensive cities in which to visit. At the top are Tokyo, Osaka and Sydney and at the bottom are cities in Iran and Saudi Arabia and then Panama City.
While we don't spend much time in the city, it is apparent that the low cost character of the city has spread out throughout the rest of the country. In Panama you can have it all, and at a budget price! Click this link to read the whole article.

Simon & Garfunkle: "akaveka"???
godzillatemple October 23, 2003, 12:17pm #1
OK, I realize this is a very strange question, but here goes…
On the Simon & Garfunkle "Greatest Hits" album (which I first bought on 8-track, then on cassete tape, and recently on CD) there is a rendition of "Feeling Groovy". It was obviously recorded during a live concert, as you can hear the audience clapping as the song starts to play.
Anyway, the first thing you hear when the track begins is somebody on stage (Paul Simon?) saying "…wide open." Then, just before the music starts, somebody close to the microphone says something. I've listened to it again and again over the years, and it always sounds the same to me:
"Akaveka"
The word is said in sort of a loud whisper, and I've always wondered what was really being said and what, if anything it meant. I suspect it is merely some really bizarre form of sneeze, but I thought I'd ask on the off chance there is some less mundane explanation…
Mal_Adroit October 23, 2003, 12:35pm #2
All due respect, Larry, I never made out "Akaveka." You can hear someone -I always thought it was Grafunkel- whisper something and laugh, but beyond that we may be reaching.
But how 'bout the blatant attempts on the GH at making some songs sound live! Like the applause that carries over into the obviously studio version of "Bridge." Who do you think yer foolin there, boys? Even worse- they start the studio version of "Kathy's Song" and then add appreciative applause! Talk about silly.
DOH. Sorry, Barry. :smack:
Well, as long as we're hijacking this thread to talk about studio vs. live versions…
I first heard the GH album on 8-track when I was a kid and didn't realize that some of my favorite songs ("The Boxer" and "Scarborough Fair") had significant overdubbing (I think that's the word) done in a studio. Years later I heard these songs performed at a live concert and was disappointed to discover that, when performed live, much of the "studio effects" were missing. "Scarborough Fair," for example, was sung straight without the additional "Canticle" laid on top of it (you know, the part that goes "Generals order their soldiers to kill" and all that).
I still think it's "akeveka," though…

Nigerian Youths Will Be Encouraged to Maximize Their Potentials – Gbajabiamila
ImageNews
By Oritsetsemaye Akapa Esq On Dec 13, 2019
Gbajabiamila
The Speaker of the House of Representatives Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila has assured that the House under his leadership would encourage Nigerian youth to realise their potential.
In a press statement released to the Herald, the speaker said the House believes that Nigerian youth have a lot to offer, hence the need to give them a push for the benefit of the country.
Gbajabiamila spoke when he hosted a young Nigerian from Surulere, Mrs Olasubomi Iginla Aina, who was recently honoured with the title of the Member of the British Empire (MBE) by the Queen of England.
See Picture Below:
Speaker, House of Representatives, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila ( right) in a handshake with Executive Director, Lightup Foundation, Olasubomi Iginla Aina (left) during a courtesy visit to the Speaker by the member of Lightup Foundation at the National Assembly on Wednesday 11th December,2019
The Speaker said Mrs Aina has become a pride to the country, especially the people of Surulere.
The Speaker also disclosed that given what Mrs Aina has done to the country, the House would find a way to celebrate and honour her at plenary as it did to other courageous Nigerians.
"I congratulate you for being honoured as a Member of the British Empire. I also congratulate you on your appointment by the presidency as a diaspora ambassador. I also want to appoint you as the ambassador of the National Assembly to the UK.
"We're happy that you've not let us down in Surulere. Yours is a case that we should encourage not just for female folk but for Nigerians generally. You happen to be someone that a lot of people look up to.
"I want to congratulate you on all your works so far. You look so young, but you've achieved a lot. We're all proud of you.

"Clearly, you have a passion for the youth, and that's where I think we can collaborate to encourage the youth. You are somebody we should celebrate in the House.
"Stories such as yours give us a lot of hope. People like you, without whom the story of Nigeria won't be complete, should be celebrated," he said.
Earlier, Mrs Aina, who is the founder of the Light Up Foundation, said she started humanitarian activities right from her secondary school days and that her foundation has provided a lot of interventions to Nigerian youth.
"I appreciate your love for young people. I seek an opportunity to address the whole House on our interventions and what we want members to do with regards to laws related to young people.
"The foundation is supporting the youth from the state of despair to that of hope. We must prepare our youth for future challenges," she said.
