The word that you will often hear in conjunction with Bikram Choudhury is guru. It is also a word that is applied to many people who work in the fitness industry. And that unofficial designation allowed him to get away with some truly heinous behavior.
I propose that we get rid of the fitness guru designation. Guru has a mystical association, as if that person has some secret understanding of the world's mysteries. In the case of Mr. Choudhury, that couldn't have been further from the truth. He was just a guy who was good at teaching yoga. Deeming people gurus elevates them at the same time that it makes people feel like fitness is this un-knownable thing, this black box that has to be deciphered. Both of those things are bad. The first is bad because it allows people like Bikram Choudhury to get away with disgusting and criminal behavior. The second is bad because it makes fitness seem intimidating to the uninitiated and allows bad fitness information to circulate. Listen to the podcasts and then think about how many times you have heard the term 'fitness guru' applied to someone. Think about how that branding shaped the perception of that person. The vast majority of them are good people who would never do anything close to what Bikram Choudhury has done. But we don't need gurus. We don't need people to save us. We need to arm ourselves with knowledge so that we can save ourselves. We don't need gurus, we need teachers.
The evolution of this is fascinating. The potential for injury in CrossFit has always been a sore spot and the NCSA study alleged that 16% of the participants in its study had to quit due to "overuse or injury". CrossFit took issue with that and began a legal battle. At the time, I thought that CrossFit was overreacting to what was a mostly positive study. I also suspected that CrossFit was trying to intimidate researchers with the threat of legal action. But then CrossFit started winning. The courts ruled that the NCSA had "spread inaccurate information about CrossFit, which is established as a competing brand". The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, which is owned by the NCSA, retracted the study and the lead researcher left his position at Ohio State. The legal proceedings are ongoing but Glassman made an important discovery.
Glassman has spent the last 3 years exposing the links between health sciences community and the soda giants as well as the dubious, and soda-friendly, science that has come out of it.
The GEBN was shut down after it was revealed that it was primarily funded by Coca-Cola. And now Glassman has his sights set on Washington, where he hopes to start shaping government policy. I think that Glassman is most comfortable in the underdog role. With CrossFit on the cusp of taking over the fitness industry, he needed a new opponent. I'm glad to see him taking on someone outside the industry. This is a great read and I highly recommend that you follow the link.
How to Lose Friends and Alienate People: Speaking of CrossFit, there was a strange turn of events in the CrossFit world this week. A CrossFit box in Indiana announced that it was going to hold a LBGTQ Pride event. The box's owners did not approve of what the coaches had planned and announced that the event had been canceled. This led to a backlash with member's cancelling their memberships and staff quitting. The box is now closing its doors and will "no longer operate" at its current location. It is unclear whether ownership plans to re-open at another location in the future.
If that wasn't strange enough, spokesperson Russell Berger then decided that it would be a good idea to go on a tweet storm indicating his support for homophobic behavior. He quickly deleted the tweets but the damage was already done. CrossFit Inc. placed him on administrative leave and then terminated his employment. Russell Berger was one of the 2 Russells, whose mandate was to defend CrossFit from "junk science, yellow ignorance, and invincible ignorance". He was one of the most high-profile employees of the Santa Cruz-based company and a fixture in the internet wars that CrossFit routinely wages.
1st thought: this is how you handle a PR crisis. You take quick, decisive action that leaves no doubt as to where organization's values lie. By the time I had even heard about this, Berger had already been let go and Greg Glassman had tweeted his support for CrossFit's gay community.
2nd thought: CrossFit Inc. usually acts like it doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks about it. I'm glad to see that they do care about promoting a culture of tolerance and acceptance for all people.
3rd thought: Tolerance doesn't mean that we have to be tolerant of someone's intolerance.
Peloton is just one — albeit very popular — example of the latest revamp of the home gym, so crowded with the evidence of previous trends and the best intentions: old-school stationary bikes, treadmills and heavy bags. The bet this time is that the famously permeable interface between technology and human will goad fitness enthusiasts to forgo studios for workouts they can follow online. Fitness companies and exercise gurus have launched a wide range of at-home options, and most don't require large up-front costs. A business called FORTË films classes and streams them to smartphones, laptops and TVs for $39 per month or $288 per year. Training apps such as Booya Fitness and Beachbody have cultlike followings, and studios across the country from Nicole Winhoffer's NW Method in New York and Los Angeles to Mary Helen Bowers' New York-based Ballet Beautiful offer streaming and on-demand classes too. Even large apparel companies like Nike and gym chains like Gold's Gym have launched workout routines that play in the palm of your hand.
There is no question that streaming fitness is exploding right now. The question is how will this effect brick and mortar gyms and studios. People love to proclaim that technology is going to displace gyms and trainers, which is not true. But it will shape them.
Lauren Kleban, the founder of LEKfit, a dance-inspired fitness method based in Los Angeles, started streaming classes in 2017 to reach more clients. Her studio counts I Feel Pretty's Busy Philipps and Shameless star Emmy Rossum as fans, and scouring social media for #getlekfit returns sweaty selfies from users at home. Kleban's $19.99-per-month service is so important to her business that her new flagship studio is being built with streaming in mind. "Everything will be designed around camera placement, client placement, and of course sound and lighting are playing an even bigger role than they would have normally," she says. Still, Kleban takes pains to make sure that she properly connects with her streamers by holding weekly Instagram chats and attempting to learn as many of their names as possible. "As an instructor, I was always taught that people want to be acknowledged for what they're doing," she says.
The number one reason that studios won't die off is that there will need to be a testing ground for all of these classes. It will be interesting to see how much streaming molds the studio experience in the coming years. The thing that comes to mind is how the television industry molded the live sports experience. Professional sports stadiums have to balance being a soundstage for the television product with providing a great, in-person experience. Going forward, studios will probably face a similar challenge. Will there be an equivalent of the TV time-out?
To begin tracking a workout, you normally tap on the type of workout you want to record; doing so immediately launches a three-second countdown timer that ushers you into your workout. Previously, if you didn't select a workout to track before you began, the Apple Watch wouldn't record the exercise at all. In watchOS 5, though, even if you start exercising before consulting your Apple Watch, the device will detect your movement and nudge you after three minutes of activity. This haptic feedback prompts you to tap the screen to officially start that workout. When you do, the watch switches into workout tracking mode—and even includes the amount of time it missed before you pressed start.
I don't own a smartwatch but that sounds like a pretty cool feature. I can see why people are excited by its addition to the Apple Watch. I wonder if anyone else has thought of this.
Auto detection can sense the end of a workout, too. I've often finished a strength-training session at the gym, hopped in my car, and drove home, only to realize that I never "ended" the workout. Within three minutes of ending your session, auto detect should stop its workout tracking.
While I was hoping to see auto exercise recognition or rep counting introduced in watchOS 5, auto detection nudges the fitness part of the OS forward in a positive way. Auto detection is standard on most other mid- to top-tier wearables made by big manufacturers, and it makes the smartwatch easier to use. Many of us forget to start tracking a workout on our watches before exercising, and it's a terrible feeling to work out but not have it "count." Auto recognition should prevent that from happening, at least with its eight current workout profiles.
So a feature that is already "standard" in the industry is still a cause for excitement when Apple introduces it? Man, why would you want to compete with Apple in hardware? How can you win? Even when you innovate, you can't win. Consumers will just wait for Apple to copy that feature. This is why I am so bear-ish on Fitbit's future in hardware. It's hard to imagine a scenario in which things work out for them no matter how innovative they could prove to be. Either retreat to the low-end of the market and pivot to software.

Retrospective of the 70th Berlin International Film Festival
The Retrospective of the 70th Berlin International Film Festival will be dedicated to the American film director, producer, and screenwriter King Vidor (1894–1982) who holds a central place in the history of US cinema. Considered a key director towards the end of the silent era and in the Golden Age of Hollywood, Vidor left a lasting mark, combining his interest in social engagement with the desire to explore in depth the potential of cinematic language.

The Retrospective program includes 35 films from five decades. They are to be presented in the best possible quality – for the most part on 35mm prints. Five of King Vidor's films received Oscar nominations for Best Director: 'The Crowd' (1928), 'Hallelujah' (1929), 'The Champ' (1931), 'The Citadel' (1938) and 'War and Peace' (1956). In 1978, in tribute of his versatility and innovative powers, King Vidor received an Oscar, the Honorary Award for Outstanding Lifetime Achievement.
His masterful choreography of mass scenes in 'The Crowd', 'The Big Parade' (1925), and 'War and Peace' are still impressive today, as is his joy in experimenting with sound and rhythm: in 'Hallelujah', his first sound film – which is also regarded as one of the first big studio productions with an all African-American cast – he incorporated influences from contemporary jazz music.

Cinema art across genre boundaries
Vidor's cinematic oeuvre consists of more than fifty films. They range from silent film classics and works on socio-political topics, such as 'The Crowd' (1928), to films depicting social upheaval, as in 'Our Daily Bread' (1934), as well as the Western 'Duel in the Sun' (1946) and the epic literary adaption for the screen 'War and Peace' (1956). His breakthrough came in 1925 with 'The Big Parade'. It is considered the first critical film about World War I, and has turned into a tremendous success for the newly founded MGM Studios.
Vidor shot 'Billy the Kid' (1930), his second Western, in black-and-white on 35 mm as well as 70 mm film – long before this wide-screen format had reached its zenith. His six dazzlingly opulent color films, such as 'Northwest Passage' (1940), 'Man Without a Star' (1955), and 'Solomon and Sheba' (1959), were all shot in Technicolor. Vidor developed his art across many genres and was at all times interested in technical innovations – not to mention, his devotion in working with the most important actors of his time.

Highlights and dark sides
King Vidor was acquainted with both the bright and dark sides of the film industry and worked his impressions into 'Show People' (1928). In it, Marion Davies gives a brilliant performance as an unknown slapstick performer who rises to become a movie diva. Issues related to class, as well as upward and downward social mobility play a crucial role in Vidor's films, as do immigration and social integration. The latter is dealt with in a nuanced and often humorous manner in films such as 'Street Scene' (1931), 'The Wedding Night' (1935), 'An American Romance' (1944), and 'Japanese War Bride' (1952).
On the other hand, in 'The Champ' (1931), 'Stella Dallas' (1937), as well as 'Ruby Gentry' (1953), he illuminates from many sides the inner life of characters who set out in search of their identity between the different echelons of society. He often engaged his favorite actors for several films. Under his care, the following stars gave stunning screen performances: Gary Cooper, Joseph Cotten, Marion Davies, Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, John Gilbert, Lillian Gish, Audrey Hepburn, Jennifer Jones, and Gregory Peck.

In New Mexico, a bloody feud erupts between settlers and a criminal cattle baron, with Billy the Kid and his revolver playing a decisive role. This raw western set in magnificent landscapes was made before the restrictive Hays Code limits took effect.
Beyond the Forest
Joseph Cotten, Bette Davis
© 1949 Warner Bros. All Rights Reserved., source: Deutsche Kinemathek
The wife of a small town doctor yearns for big city life. When her lover shows up to take her to Chicago, she throws all scruples to the wind. An over-the-top film noir, with a heroine who is even more depraved than was already customary for the genre.
Bud's Recruit
restored version
While Reggie is a "slacker", his younger brother Bud wants to do his patriotic duty and fight in World War I. He devises a way to turn Reggie into a war volunteer. This is the earliest surviving short film by King Vidor.
Comrade X
Clark Gable, Hedy Lamarr
In Stalin's Moscow, an easy-going American journalist falls in love with a streetcar conductor who is a committed communist. A screwball comedy in the style of Ernst Lubitsch's 'Ninotchka', the film is splendidly cast with Clark Gable and Hedy Lamarr.

A London barrister embarks on an extra-marital affair with a shopgirl, with fatal consequences. While he may think it no more than a mere dalliance, she takes their liaison much more seriously. A romantic tragedy.
Duel in the Sun
USA, 1947, directed by King Vidor and William Dieterle
This outsized Technicolor melodrama is a story of untamed love and unbridled hate on a Texas ranch. Producer David O. Selznick wanted King Vidor's cult western with Jennifer Jones to be even bigger than 'Gone with the Wind'.
Nina Mae McKinney, Daniel L. Haynes
A thrilling drama of jealousy about a sharecropper turned preacher after a murder. Traditional spirituals and blues music rhythmically underpin this first talkie by King Vidor, which features an almost entirely Black cast.
H. M. Pulham, Esq.
Van Heflin, Robert Young, Hedy Lamarr
The daily routines and the marriage of a Boston businessman are disrupted when a woman from his past turns up in the city. This drama about an "unlived life" is a plea for individual self-determination that transcends convention.
Japanese War Bride
Shirley Yamaguchi, Cameron Mitchell
Source: Sammlung Cinémathèque suisse. All Rights Reserved.
Returning from the Korean War, an American soldier brings his Japanese bride with him. Back home in a small California town, they face xenophobic hostility. An anti-racist B movie with a dramatic plot that is a plea for cross-cultural marriage.
John Gilbert, Lillian Gish
In the Latin Quarter of Paris, the penniless playwright Rodolphe falls in love with the even more destitute seamstress Mimi. This poignant melodrama, starring Lillian Gish and John Gilbert, is based on Giacomo Puccini's famed opera.

Richard Todd, Ruth Roman
© 1951 Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
An actress falls in love with a Texas rancher who has narrowly escaped death row after being tried for the murder of his wife. She is uncertain whether to believe in his innocence. A romantic thriller set on the rough Texas plains.
Barbara Pepper, Tom Keene

A group of unemployed city folk and landless workers run a community farm. With a nod to the New Deal, King Vidor counters the glamour of Hollywood with compelling images of the reality in the USA in the wake of the Great Depression.
Ruby Gentry
Charlton Heston, Jennifer Jones
Source: Deutsche Kinemathek
A young woman in a small coastal town takes revenge on her childhood sweetheart after he spurns her to marry a rich heiress. It was the second time, after 'Duel in the Sun' that King Vidor cast Jennifer Jones in the role of a provocative woman.
Sidney Bracy, Marion Davies, Ray Cooke

After her first successful comedy, starlet Peggy Pepper becomes a star of serious dramas. The film is a tumultuous homage to the early Hollywood of paste-on moustaches and cream pies in the face, starring fabulous comedienne Marion Davies.
Solomon and Sheba
Gina Lollobrigida, Yul Brynner
© Image courtesy of Park Circus/MGM
The Egyptian pharaoh allows the queen of Sheba to go to Jerusalem to beguile Solomon, the king of Israel, with her wiles. An opulent widescreen spectacle full of intrigue, equestrian battles, and sensual delights, with Gina Lollobrigida and Yul Brynner.

The talkative residents of a New York City tenement while away the time on the building's stoop, while inside, a tragedy is unfolding. With a cast featuring a number of émigrés, King Vidor created a metropolitan symphony of the spoken word.
The Big Parade
© 1925 Turner Entertainment Co. All Rights Reserved., source: Sammlung Cinémathèque suisse
Three young men from New York experience the horrors of World War I in the French trenches. With scenes in King Vidor's silent film showing an anti-war bent, its radical naturalism was a key influence on anti-war films to follow.
Wallace Beery, Jackie Cooper
With the support of his young son, a dissolute former heavyweight boxing champion tries to make a comeback. King Vidor's homage to Charlie Chaplin's 'The Kid' provides a mighty pull on the heartstrings. The film won two Oscars.
GB/USA, 1938, directed by King Vidor
Robert Donat (center)
An idealistic young doctor in a Welsh mining town despairs at the workers' miserable conditions. He moves to London, where he ends up treating rich hypochondriacs. King Vidor's drama became an exemplar for the social realism of British post-war cinema.
The Crowd
© 1928 Turner Entertainment Co. All Rights Reserved., source: Österreichisches Filmmuseum
An acclaimed silent film about the very average life of a New York office clerk and the blows fate delivers to his family. Featuring street scenes shot partially with a hidden camera, the film anticipated the neo-realism of the 1940s.
Henry Hull, Gary Cooper

An architect refuses to compromise the integrity of his modern designs. The conflicts that result drive this "experimental masterpiece of commercial film" (Heinz Emigholz) to great heights – in the strictest sense of the term.

During a range war, a drifter and cowboy finds himself caught between two fronts – small ranchers trying to protect their land with barbed wire, and the ambitious and beautiful lady rancher. A late western about land grabbing in the wild west.
USA, 1940, directed by King Vidor, Jack Conway and Harold Weinberger
Spencer Tracy, Walter Brennan, Robert Young
About 1760, a young painter joins a punitive mission against Native Americans. He is unprepared for the terrible hardships and a massacre along the way. Spencer Tracy is impressive as the shady ranger Robert Rogers in this Technicolor western.
The Other Half
ZaSu Pitts
Returning from World War I, the heir to a steel mill wants to exercise the class solidarity he learned in the trenches. But ultimately, he follows his father's advice of "no sentiment" in business, an attitude that turns his fiancée against him.
The Patsy
Marion Davies, Jane Winton, Marie Dressler
Young Pat is in love with her older sister's beau. To attract his attention, she wants to "get some personality", a premise rife with comedic promise. Marion Davies steals the show with her Chaplinesque cavorting in this light comedy.
The Real Adventure
Florence Vidor, Philip Ryder
Source: La Cinémathèque de Toulouse
A young wife leaves her wealthy husband to pursue a career, determined to prove herself an equal partner. In this early silent directed by her husband, Florence Vidor embodies with verve an emancipated heroine.

I/USA, 1956, directed by King Vidor
Audrey Hepburn, Mel Ferrer
Audrey Hepburn and Henry Fonda star in this visually opulent period film, based on Leo Tolstoy's epic novel. It chronicles the lives and loves of the Russian aristocracy against the backdrop of the fight against Napoleon's invasion from 1805 to 1812.
Wine of Youth
Gertrude Claire, Eleanor Boardman, Eulalie Jensen, E. J. Ratcliffe
© 1924 Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc. All Rights Reserved., source: Sammlung Cinémathèque suisse

An Edinburgh solicitor has admitted stealing £70,000 from a disabled client.
Iain Catto, 41, used the money to pay for travel, dining out and hotel rooms. He had volunteered to pay the bills and organise the affairs of Francis Fleming after he became partially paralysed.
Edinburgh Sheriff Court yesterday heard that Catto withdrew money from Mr Fleming's accounts and sold shares to pay for his lifestyle after giving up his job. He was exposed after Mr Fleming's son Frank became suspicious about his father's funds.
Sentence on Catto was deferred for background reports.

Myself, JRC54 and Captain Ron attending the 2019 Chicago auto show. Showcasing the newest tailgates from the newest vehicles, as well as a sneak peek at some other awesome sights!
I agree Ram would be smart to do the new tailgate on HD. Even though it's steel I liked the Honda tailgate as well.
Great video. I like you showing the different tail gates. Overall who do think has the best truck overall? Me and my brother went through each truck 2 weeks ago at the Detroit Auto show. Next year we will be going to the Chicago Auto show. Because Detroit is moving it to a spring/summer event. So there can be more outdoor interaction with the vehicles. This years show was a bit of a let down. Keep up the great content.
The truck engines are out of control. My 10 liter L10 Cummins only has 960ft-lbs of torque. Honda has had that dual swing tailgate design on the Ridgeline since it first came out back in 2005ish.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission
(For corrections submitted to the CWGC see the bottom of this page.)
The grave of Signalman K Smith GC
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission commemorates those killed during the First and Second World Wars. In addition, under contract to the Ministry of Defence it maintains many other graves and small cemeteries around the world that contain the remains of casualties of other conflicts and some of those who died abroad in peacetime.
For the purposes of commemoration the period of the First World War is defined as 4 August 1914 to 31 August 1921. Although the Armistice came into effect on 11 November 1918, the Termination of the Present War (Definition) Act 1918 gave discretion to His Majesty in Council to declare the date of the termination of the war. In the years that followed, peace treaties were signed with each of the Central Powers and, although a treaty with Turkey had yet to be ratified, it was declared that 31 August 1921 'should be treated as the date of the termination of the present War'. In consequence, the CWGC commemorates 28 casualties who died after 28 June 1920 and who are recorded as Royal Signals. While most were victims of disease, accident or misadventure (and, in one case, executed for murder), four were operational casualties from Iraq and Ireland.
The complexity of the transfer of personnel in the early years of Royal Signals seen in the publication of awards to men of the Royal Engineers serving with various signal units in India and the Middle East is also seen in the record of commemorations. No fewer than a further 28 Royal Engineers all ranks serving in signal units are recorded as First World War casualties after June 1920. This should be considered a minimum number. They too include four operational casualties serving with the Indian Signal Corps in Waziristan.
Similarly, for the purposes of commemoration the period of the Second World War is defined as 3 September 1939 to 31 December 1947. The latter date was selected to be approximately the same length of time after the date of Victory in Europe Day (VE Day, 8 May 1945) as 31 August 1921 was after the Armistice. The CWGC commemorates 5,111 Royal Signals personnel in that period, of whom 595 died after Victory over Japan Day (VJ Day, 15 August 1945).[1] Some of these later casualties died as a result of service during the war or the effects of their incarceration as prisoners of war, and some died in other conflicts, for example in post-war Mandatory Palestine. Most, however, died as a consequence of disease, accident or misadventure.
This is a summary of the errors acknowledged by the CWGC as a October 2021. Details have been noted in the file of the individual casualty and changes made to the online commemoration. The CWGC has a particular way in which unit names are abbreviated; changes to units names (additions, corrections, or to achieve uniformity) use the CWGC system. For example, 6th Independent Infantry Brigade Group Signal Section is recorded as '6th Indep. Inf. Bde. Gp. Sig. Sec'.
1. (Back) In addition, also commemorated as Royal Signals are 14 locally enlisted personnel from Cyprus, Iraq, Palestine, Singapore, and Southern Rhodesia.

Q: How to boost a solr document at query time based on attribute value I want boost at query time all documents that have value user_id=2. Basically I want on the top of my results all the documents belonged to a specific user.
After looking at some Solr resources I ended up writing a query like, but it is not working properly.
/solr/public-main/select?q={!boost b=if(div(155623,user_id),2,1)}sometext&wt=json&indent=true&debugQuery=true
Any hints?
Thanks

A: You don't need to use the boost with a dynamic boost. Apply a boost query which will boost all the documents that match the query: bq=user_id:2^4. Adjust 4 to a suitable boost value depending on the rest of your boosts (if any in q or qf).

A: One option is to have a function query with fl=x,y,userexists:exists(query({!v='user_id:2'})) and then u can sort by userexists and then by score field.

When I am thirsty, there is nothing more like a cool refreshing drink of water. As I drink I feel a refreshing, a coolness throughout my body. As I finish my drink of water, my body feels revived and ready to go back at it again.
This is exactly how I feel when I spend time with the Lord. No matter how tough my day may have been or even if I had not even started out my day, I always walk away revived and refresh. The reason for this is because anyone who spends time in God's presence can not help but feel strength and encouragement.
This morning, God wants to revive and refresh you will you allow Him to do so?

Leeds United fans have reacted with bemusement to the news that midfielder Yosuke Ideguchi will move on loan to Cultural Leonesa for the rest of the season after his transfer from Gamba Osaka was officially ratified today.
Ideguchi sealed his £500,000 move to Elland Road today on a four-and-a-half-year deal but the Japanese international will head out on loan immediately to a club Leeds have relations with thanks to director Ivan Bravo.
Ouasim Bouy spent the first half of the season on loan at Leonesa and endured a nightmare few months with his temporary club, leading to his loan being cut short and Leeds fans are unimpressed with the news Ideguchi will be heading to Spain.
Leeds Live understands it was always the club's intention to move Ideguchi on loan once they decided to wrap up a deal in January to allow him to acclimatise to European football.
But amid Samuel Saiz being handed a six-match ban for spitting and concern over midfielder Ronaldo Vieira's condition due to a recent knee injury, Leeds currently look light in midfield - and many fans believe the club have made a huge error.
Ideguchi will stay in Spain's second tier for the rest of 2017/18 before linking up with Japan's World Cup squad for the finals in Russia this summer, should he be selected.
But following an embarrassing FA Cup defeat at Newport County and a three-match run without a win, Leeds fans have vented their anger at the treatment of the new signing.
Here's how they reacted on social media.


Okyu is a Japanese Acupuncture Style application of moxibustion. It's typically referred to as "thread moxa" as it's applied in small rolled, thread-like form. Once the moxa is in place, I light the small thread with a stick of incense and the patient experiences a pleasant warming sensation at the desired point.
It is by far one of my favorite acupuncture techniques and one of my favorite to receive. Applying moxa in this way has an immense therapeutic benefit. Okyu is said to go to the blood level, which is considered one of the deepest layers of the body in both Chinese and Japanese Acupuncture. My personal favorite reason to use okyu is for painful periods because it is so effective. Stagnation is usually the root cause of that pain and okyu drives stagnation out. It's especially lovely, and beneficial, to have this gentle warmth applied to your lower abdomen while needles are in place.
Okyu can also be applied to the lower abdomen with the intent of increasing blood flow to the uterus and ovaries. I often apply it to points that the great Japanese master Kiiko Matsumoto refers to as the "secret fertility points". I'm not sure how secretive they are but it's a wonderful way to support fertility when used in addition to local needles for those who are trying to conceive.
For women with heavy menstrual flow, okyu is an amazing tool to ease the intensity of menstrual flow and regulate bleeding. It's applied to the big toe with the intent of supporting the spleen and controlling bleeding. In Chinese Medicine, heavy menses are usually the result of either too much heat in the body or weakened Spleen Qi. By applying okyu to the first point on the Spleen channel, we can give the Spleen a much needed boost that can help regulate the menses.
Though we tend to use okyu to support fertility and menstrual disorders in this office, okyu can also be used to support adrenal function, decrease musculoskeletal pain, and support the immune system. Besides, it just feels nice! Nothing like some gentle warmth on a cold winter day. When combined with the meditative quality of the incense, okyu is a delightful addition to any acupuncture treatment.

There are many players in the IoT platform space, but when it comes to industrial IoT (IIoT), the clear front-runners are GE and Siemens, with Bosch coming up on the rails.
PAC last caught up with GE Digital at the back end of last year, just around the time when the competed the beta launch of its $1bn industrial IoT (IIoT) platform. Several months into 2016, Predix is open for business and a number of GE's initiatives can be seen in the push to stand out as a major IIoT cloud platform provider.
As well as courting the developer community, GE has also developed some proprietary applications on top of Predix, such as the Digital Power Plant service, which already has 15 customers. GE Health Cloud also includes services designed to optimize distribution and the management of images.
Smart cities is another segment in which GE wants Predix to dominate and it has chosen Shanghai to be its hub for the development of new offerings. The company is already working on the development of China's first smart city – Tienjin - which will be built its smart services on top of Predix and leverage GE's intelligent LED lighting systems.
GE has also launched the GE Digital Alliance in order to create a partner ecosystem around Predix focusing on industrial applications. The idea is to speed up adoption with the help of some of the biggest telco, SI and hardware players, with allies including AT&T, Verizon, China Telecom, Vodafone, Accenture, Capgemini, TCS, TechMachindra, Wipro, Infosys, Intel and Cisco. Partners will have the access to a range of digital tools available on Predix together with GE's industrial know-how.
Out of these partnerships, PAC sees two as being particularly important: Cisco and TCS. The Cisco partnership puts GE into position to integrate Predix into the networking giant's developing IoT connectivity story and gain momentum by putting Predix at the edge of the cloud. This is especially important from the real time analytics point of view, since in industrial applications data volumes can be huge - for example one turbine has 3,000 sensors.
GE also works with other players to prepare Predix for the edge computing. One of them is the device management platform provider Proximetry, where the two companies work on additional layer of security for devices. As a result of cooperation the PredixEdge manager was born, which basically represents a robust set of functions for cloud to edge management. PredixEdge is available to both internal and external developers community through Predix.io portal.
One of the most important features of IoT is advanced analytics and GE has a unique approach here according to one of GE Digital's executives. It uses the data of the device to create its digital twin, which is essentially a virtual copy of the device. The digital twin is then used to run a series of what-if scenarios to extract the knowledge about the device's behavior. We've seen a similarly branded concept in the PTC portfolio, but it resembled the AR based digital twin of the device that contains all of its available data.
The TCS alliance could also be a good move. India's biggest IT services provider has already built some early momentum around Predix, and claims to have one of the largest bases of Predix expertise. More than 1,000 TCS developers will be trained in 2016 to work on Predix, and the two companies are already working on joint offerings in areas such as supply chain monitoring, satellite imaging analytics, predictive maintenance and engine telematics.
The IoT developer community is an important asset for GE. The manufacturing giant recognizes this and that's why it is investing heavily into various initiatives such as its digital hubs across Europe, Asia, and the States to train and make developers grow to love Predix. This, combined with the SI alliances designed to build services that can meet the business and technical challenges of its customers, will be important steps to keeping GE at the forefront of the IIoT hunt.


Bajaj Institute of Technology is a college which would impart quality Engineering education in the Wardha district of Maharashtra. Set up under the Shiksha Mandal (a hundred year old educational trust set up and managed by the Bajaj family) this college campus is designed as a temple for learning.
Encompassing the core disciplines of engineering, the campus is designed to set the standards not only for the quality of education, but also, for Architectural aesthetics and ambience. The campus is designed on the principles of sustainability and the same is echoed in the facets of design from the planning through to construction.
The campus is designed as a great place to live and learn; the environs of the campus makes people feel close to nature; it will feel like a community and function like a university; it will have gardens, courtyards and promenades where people meet and interact. It will engender intellectual friendship and encourage the search for truth. Like an ancient Greek gymnasium, it will kindle a desire to develop both the mind and the body. Being the best, it will call out the best of the people who study there and make them feel proud that at one time in their life they had this place as their abode.
The long front wall with triangular openings invites people to the campus. People enter the institute through administration block which focuses towards the central iconic Library which is followed by the Workshop. Departments are arranged on both sides of the central promenade. Courtyards in between the class rooms break the silence of darkness and provide shade for passages, cut down the direct heat, glare and provide cross ventilation. One can reach any part of the building within ten minutes in shade. The entire campus is facilitated for Universal Access (i.e. with aid of Elevators and Ramps). Departments are physically divided by feature walls. The building is layered into three floors which have laboratories and small workshops on the ground floor, class rooms on the first floor and ancillary spaces on the second floor for convenient access. Pure geometrical and symmetrical masses, parallel walls, straight flight staircases, equilateral triangle openings, Vertical Fins, RCC vault ceilings, structural and architectural grooves, water spouts and aluminium sliding windows are the language of the campus, which are arranged as the stanza of a poem. One will read a beautiful poem while strolling through the campus. A lake is contemplated at the lower end of the site which will store rainwater. It balances the temperature of the campus by evaporation. Courtyards, Central library, Deepstambh, Water body and Triangular voids are the major landscape and building elements which ties the campus as nodes of an organic structure.
The institute is also well balanced by future student and faculty residences, parking, catering centre, health club and other amenities on both sides.

Scott Tanser (* 23. Oktober 1994 in Blackpool) ist ein englischer Fußballspieler, der beim FC St. Mirren in der Scottish Premiership unter Vertrag steht.

Karriere
Scott Tanser verbrachte einige Zeit in den Jugendmannschaften des FC Blackpool und FC Burnley, bevor er in die Jugendakademie des AFC Rochdale kam. Er gab sein Profidebüt für "Dale", nachdem er am 27. April 2013 bei einem 1:0-Sieg über Plymouth Argyle in der 70. Minute für D'Arcy O'Connor eingewechselt wurde. Dies war sein einziger Einsatz in der Saison 2012/13. In der darauf folgenden Spielzeit in der Rochdale den Aufstieg in die dritte Liga feierte, kam Tanser nicht zum Einsatz. Zu Beginn der Saison 2014/15 wurde er wieder in die erste Mannschaft berufen und unterschrieb im Oktober 2014 eine zweijährige Vertragsverlängerung. Zuvor war er regelmäßig von Trainer Keith Hill auf der Position des Außenverteidigers eingesetzt worden. Drei Monate später erzielte er sein erstes Tor bei den Profis als er bei einem 4:1-Heimsieg gegen Crawley Town zur Führung traf. Er beendete die Saison mit 30 Ligaeinsätzen, in der Rochdale als Aufsteiger den achten Tabellenplatz erreichte. In den beiden folgenden Spielzeiten kam Tanser kaum noch zum Einsatz, woraufhin sein Vertrag im Januar 2017 einvernehmlich aufgelöst wurde.

Tanser unterzeichnete am 27. Januar 2017 einen Vertrag beim abstiegsbedrohten Ligarivalen Port Vale, der bis zum Ende der Saison 2016/17 lief. Für den Verein aus Stoke-on-Trent kam er auf elf Spiele, konnte den Abstieg mit der Mannschaft aber nicht vermeiden, woraufhin er mit weiteren Spielern den Verein verließ.

Im Anschluss daran wechselte Tanser zum schottischen Erstligisten FC St. Johnstone, bei dem er zunächst einen Vertrag über ein Jahr unterschrieb. In der Debütsaison 2017/18 absolvierte er 31 Spiele unter Tommy Wright für die "Saints". Bis zum Jahr 2021 absolvierte er als Stammspieler 117 Ligaspiele. Er gewann 2021 mit St. Johnstone das Pokal-Double aus schottischen Pokal und Ligapokal, war jedoch in beiden Finals ungenutzter Ersatzspieler.

Im Juni 2021 unterzeichnete Tanser einen Einjahresvertrag beim  Premiership-Verein FC St. Mirren mit einer Option für ein weiteres Jahr.

Paley's watch, Mount Rushmore, and other stories of intelligent design – 2 » « It's the Rael thing – 3
Paley's watch, Mount Rushmore, and other stories of intelligent design
One does not have to spend much time reading about intelligent design creationism (IDC) to come across the "Mount Rushmore" argument. IDC advocate William Dembski even begins an article with it as follows:
Intelligent design begins with a seemingly innocuous question: Can objects, even if nothing is known about how they arose, exhibit features that reliably signal the action of an intelligent cause? To see what's at stake, consider Mount Rushmore. The evidence for Mount Rushmore's design is direct—eyewitnesses saw the sculptor Gutzon Borglum spend the better part of his life designing and building this structure. But what if there were no direct evidence for Mount Rushmore's design? What if humans went extinct and aliens, visiting the earth, discovered Mount Rushmore in substantially the same condition as it is now?
In that case, what about this rock formation would provide convincing circumstantial evidence that it was due to a designing intelligence and not merely to wind and erosion? Designed objects like Mount Rushmore exhibit characteristic features or patterns that point to an intelligence. Such features or patterns constitute signs of intelligence. (emphasis in original)
This idea that it should be obvious to anyone when something is designed and when it is not permeates the literature of the IDC movement and variations of the Mount Rushmore argument is brought up repeatedly because it provides a concrete image of the idea and has a simple persuasiveness. On a recent episode of The Daily Show Dembski was asked by host Jon Stewart about ID and he brought up the Rushmore example again, showing how valuable they think this example is, since on such shows you only have a few minutes to make your case.
Theologians and philosophers, of course, know that this type of argument has a venerable history and goes back two hundred years to the Christian apologist William Paley (1743-1805) and even earlier. Paley was an Anglican priest and in his book Natural Theology (1802) he talks about what would happen if you were walking across a field and came across a stone. You would not ask how it got there because it would seem perfectly natural that the stone had always been there and was not specially created and kept there. But what if you came across a watch? We can quote Paley himself:
. . . when we come to inspect the watch, we perceive. . . that its several parts are framed and put together for a purpose, e.g. that they are so formed and adjusted as to produce motion, and that motion so regulated as to point out the hour of the day; that if the different parts had been differently shaped from what they are, or placed after any other manner or in any other order than that in which they are placed, either no motion at all would have been carried on in the machine, or none which would have answered the use that is now served by it. . . . the inference we think is inevitable, that the watch must have had a maker — that there must have existed, at some time and at some place or other, an artificer or artificers who formed it for the purpose which we find it actually to answer, who comprehended its construction and designed its use.
The marks of design are too strong to be got over. Design must have had a designer. That designer must have been a person. That person is GOD.
The IDC argument is to say that there are things in nature that are analogous to the watch and Mount Rushmore in that they clearly could not have occurred naturally and they point to various biological systems that they claim support their position. The more sophisticated IDC people like Michael Behe (author of Darwin's Black Box) take a minimalist approach and point to just a few (five actually) biochemical systems and processes as showing signs of design. But other religious believers take a more expansive view requiring a designer for a rising number of things, like the human eye, humans themselves, animals, etc. Some of them say that all living things must require a designer.
But whatever the sample that is selected for this purpose, all these things, they say, are too complex to have occurred by the gradual process of random mutation and natural selection, with a large number of small changes leading to the large variations in species that we see today.
The usual response by biologists to this argument is that the appearance of design in nature is just an illusion, that random mutations and natural selection are capable of producing the complex biological systems that we mistake for designed objects. Richard Dawkins in his book The Blind Watchmaker explicitly addresses Paley's argument, and he followed it up in his other book Climbing Mount Improbable.
But apart from the biological issues, there is also a philosophical argument that is not often brought up and this will be discussed in the next posting.

Break out of the trap of average and pursue God's best for your ministry. The average church in America is declining by 9% every year, is behind on budget, and is unable to move forward with the kingdom plans God has in store. The average pastor is stressed out and struggling to maintain healthy relationships and life balance. But while the cycle of average is strong, there is a way to overcome its pull and step into a life of impact and excellence. Drawing from Nelson Searcy's decades of ministry experience, The Renegade Pastor is a relevant, step-by-step resource for church leaders who are ready to step up in surrender to the pursuit of God's best for his or her life and work.

The perfect choice for a perfect summer holiday in the Mediterranean. This large contemporary villa rental is located just above the fashionable marina of Portals on the south west coast of Mallorca. It offers not only a superb location, but also one of the most dramatic views on the Island.
Street level top floor - spacious studio, decorated and used as a private office with high speed internet access - Large sundeck with morning sun - Second floor -large panoramic view living and dining room with fireplace, large flat-screen TV, PS2, Wii, Iphone stereo and doors to terrace - Spacious and very modern kitchen with induction hob and all appliances - Hall with guest toilet - Laundry room - Large fully furnished terrace, ideal for entertaining guests - Floor 3 - Three four-poster and one twin bedrooms and three bathrooms. The double bedrooms have sea views and access to terrace - Floor 4 - further twin guestroom or staff bedroom with en-suite bathroom - Fully equipped outdoor kitchen - Garden and salt-water pool - Other facilities: under floor heating, wine cellar, garage. and air conditioning throughout.
The new Balearic Eco Tourism Tax is applicable to all properties in Mallorca, Ibiza and Menorca. A payment in cash of approximately €2 per person, per day (16yrs old and over) will be collected by the villa owner / Management company sometime during your stay.
Initial deposit required to secure this villa is 50% of the total cost.
5 mins away is the closest beach of Puerto Portals. There is 250 metres of fine golden sand to enjoy, with clear blue seas and an island in the middle of the bay to swim to should the mood take you. You can hire sun loungers and parasols, and there are showers and toilets. Life guards are on duty and there is some access for the disabled. There's a small beach bar on the sand and an area set aside for volleyball. The best thing about this beach is the wonderful Roxy's Beach Bar, at the end of the beach on a small rocky platform. It's a casual, friendly place with great views of the bay and the Puerto Portals marina beyond. With chill-out tunes and cocktails (try their special house sangria) it has that Ibiza-esque feel which makes it very popular with Mallorca's international crowd. It's open from 10am to 10pm and serves light snacks throughout the day. The location of the beach is second to none, with all the wonderful restaurants and bars in Puerto Portals a few minutes walk away (car parking is available at Portals, or in the town of Portal Nous above the beach). Access from Portals Nous is down a small lane (that leads to the church) and then down some steps.
The villa is situated a convenient 20 minutes away by car from the airport and 10 minutes to the centre of Palma by car. There is also a bus route 10 minutes walk from the villa.
Puerto Portals is the very smart marina attached to the town of Portal Nous. Come here for glamorous shopping, fascinating people watching, expensive drinking, and of course, the flashy boats moored in the marina. It's a real international place - think of a smaller Monte Carlo and you're nearly there. Portal Nous sits above the rather more glamorous Puerto Portals, but it is a pleasant enough resort in its own right. It's popular with British second home owners, probably because of its proximity to Palma and its location on the south west coast. The town has many amenities including banks, doctors, supermarket, bars and restaurants and a marine park. Costa d'en Blanes is situated on a hill above the port and has 24hr security entry making it not only a fantastic villa location but also a safe one.
One of the most diverse and interesting areas in Mallorca (Majorca) the South West enjoys a superb contrast of lively holiday resorts to delightful traditional villages, and has superb road links to the capital Palma, making it particularly attractive to those seeking easy access to the widest range of facilities. There are the sophisticated resorts of Costa d'en Blanes, Bendinat and Portals with its lively marina, golf near Santa Ponsa and many beautiful beaches and coves.
The lovely port of Andratx where exclusive villas perch on the hills overlooking the bay, enjoying magnificent views, is one of the most sought-after areas on the island and it is filled with upmarket eateries and bars.
We have a wide choice of luxury villas in this South-West area to suit all holiday requirements. You can stay close to beaches and the bustling resorts - you do not even need a car in this area where public transport is reliable and inexpensive - or vacation in the hills in your own private finca with spectacular views and look down on this beautiful part of the island coming to life below.


Rarely does a play touch so many chords, leaving you an emotional mess, and rarely does a play make a critic want to come out and take a stand by endorsing it. Little Wars is such a play, and here is my stand: You must watch Little Wars, no matter what it takes. You will laugh, you will learn, and you will leave the room on the verge of tears, deeply touched by the exceedingly human display you had the privilege to witness. This is a low-profile play in an intimate venue, but excellence erupts where you expect it least.
Little Wars tells the story of six exceptional women meeting for dinner in the French Alps during World War II. Famous writer and poet Gertrude Stein (Maggie Wirth), along with her girlfriend Alice Toklas (Donna Daniels), invited some of their famous author friends over for the occasion; they are joined by Dorothy Parker (Cara Johnston), Lillian Hellman (Carrie Gray) and Agatha Christie (Victoria Hudziak). Another woman unexpectedly joins them, Muriel Gardiner, an anti-fascist freedom fighter who smuggled money and passports to save German Jews, and who is played here by the exceptional Ruth Arnell. Molly Corkins completes the all-female cast as Bernadette, the maid. In any average play, each would be the acting highlight, but this is an all-star cast where each actress reinforces an already fantastic script.
The story is fictional, but barely so. All of these women are real, all of their feats presented in the play are historical, and they were all part of the same social circles. We do not know if they were ever all in the same room, but playwright Steven Carl McCasland offers us the most perfect what-if dinner party imaginable.
Within this living room's walls, these giants of literature clash violently, pitting scalding wit against fiery repartee. Gertrude Stein is made to be a ferocious woman, yet her retorts are always hilarious. Her distaste for Lillian Hellman makes for a light-hearted first act, which is spent bent in half in laughter. Then, when the radio announces France's surrender to Hitler, the ambiance darkens, hearts open and secrets are revealed.
This exceptional story is delivered in an ideal location, the Brumder Mansion, an elegant Victorian mansion—complete with ghosts, if the rumors are to be believed—which feels perfectly appropriate for the setting. Between the colorful tapestries and beautiful artwork, the tiny theater in the basement plunges the audience in 1940 France. By weaving amazing writing with flawless acting and a gorgeous set, Little Wars bring the audience even farther than that, in the middle of a literary salon when history was made.
Through April 6 at the Brumder Mansion, 3046 W. Wisconsin Ave. For tickets, call 414-388-9104 or visit milwaukeeentertainmentgroup.com.


What brand fishfinder are you using on your kayak? or do you not use one at all?
Lowrance. Because it was in Dads shed after he upgraded.
Humminbird now, and I've used a Navman in the past on the yak.
Those of you that have had or used more than one, I'd love ta know which you preferred and why ya changed it. Thinking about getting a mid-range one. It has ta be easy to use, do it's job well, and handle the tough treatment I give all my gear.
Never had one - like the sporting aspect more.
I use a humminbird, but also have a garmin (currently in for repair).
Both great units, but the humminbird has a much better resolution.
Garmin 300c. Previously owned a Cuda 168 and reckon that bang for buck the Garmin is better.
Why? sunstrike, my sensitive eyes and a Black/grey screen don't mix. I prefer colour (also great for night fishing). Resolution not so good though but does the trick.
Ive used an eagle 250 , now have a humminbird 525 on my p13 .
Picked up my new yak yesterday and im chucking a humminbird 788cxi on it when it arrives from aussie .
Haven't got one and mostly have thought perhaps don't need one because I usually catch good fish anyway. Recently have wished I could see what the bottom looked like. $159 for a Cuda 300 at Marine Deals looks good.

Which leads me ta ask: What basic features does a usable fish finder need ta have to make worth while having? I looking a get my first one too. Don't have a lot of money to through at it, but don't want ta waste money on a Fish Finder that doesn't do the job I need it to do.
1 - It's got to be waterproof as it's going on the Yak.
2 - It's got to be easy ta use.
3 - It's got ta tell fish from bottom.
4 - Depth indication is a must.
5 - Water temp at different Depths would be a plus.
6 - GPS would be a plus.
7 - It's own Rechargeable Battery pack (or at less a place to put them in) that would last a day's fishing would be handy (means less wires and no lead acid batt needed).
8 - Must be under $500 or I can't afford it.

Intel Xeons to get 1600MHz FSB
Posted on Friday, Aug 31 2007 @ 00:30 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
Intel's latest roadmap unveils the chip giant is planning to unveil three new Xeon processors with a 1600MHz FSB in the fourth quarter of this year.
This includes a dual-core model and the quad-core Xeon E5472 and E5462:
The Xeon E5472 features a 3.0 GHz clock speed while the E5462 features a 2.8 GHz clock speed. These models feature 80-watt thermal ratings as designated with the E moniker. Intel plans to release these 1600 MHz front-side bus processors in Q4 2007 with the rest of the Penryn family.
Pricing for the 1600 MHz front-side bus processor starts at $797 for the E5462 and $958 for the E5472, per processor, in 1,000 unit quantities. As far as pricing goes, the Xeon E5472 slots below the 3.16 GHz X5460 while the E5462 slots below the 3.0 GHz, E5450.
Intel has one 1600 MHz dual-core Penryn based Xeon processor ready for launch – the E5272. The Xeon E5272 features a 3.4 GHz clock speed and is priced at $1,172. Intel has also pulled in the launch of all dual-core Xeon processors to Q4 2007, with the quad-core processors. The dual-core Xeon E5260 and E5205 will also launch in Q4, not the Q1 2008 date earlier roadmaps showed.
These processors will be supported by the Intel Seaburg chipset which also supports dual PCI Express 2.0 x16 and 128GB memory.

Looking forward, Avolin will now receive the backing of ESW Capital which includes an operating platform which it believes helps reduce costs and improves efficiency of organisations it acquires. It has previously enjoyed success with brands such as Aurea, Trilogy, Versata and Ignite Technologies. ESW Capital has appointed Michael Speranza, as CEO of the new company. He was previously SVP and General Manager of Aptean's Vertical Business Applications Group.
Speranza commented: "The acquisition by ESW Capital is an exciting development for the business and our customers and partners. Avolin will move forward with a focused strategy and leverage ESW's proven model to strengthen and grow businesses by providing even better products and support for existing and future customers.
Avolin will have 1,400 customers in more than 50 countries. The press release also states that this is not just an acquisition to improve the efficiency and grow it organically. ESW Capital may also invest in more acquisitions to bolster the portfolio.
TVN Reddy, Aptean CEO confirmed this renewed focus saying: "We wish Michael and his team success as they take on this exciting new challenge. This action allows for both Avolin and Aptean to continue to improve focus on their core capabilities of driving product excellence and customer satisfaction.
The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. It is therefore difficult to speculate whether ESW Capital picked up a portfolio that needs improvement at a low cost. Additionally, whether Aptean now has a war chest to fund further acquisitions as it looks to expand in other sectors.
There are some interesting statistics though in the release. Aptean claims that more than 2,500 organisations in 20 industries and 54 countries use its software. However, if 1,400 of these customers now fall under Avolin one wonders how many are left under Aptean, unless that is the number that remain. However, only last July another press release stated that Aptean had over 7,000 organisations across 20 industries and 74 countries using its software. The company seems to be shrinking. What is happening?
TVN Reddy took the helm in July. Since then he has removed two sets of applications to bring a new focus to the company. Alson in July, Aptean announced that Vista Equity Partners and Bain would take ownership of a merger between Superion, Tritech and Aptean's public sector businesses. The sale of VBAG removes another chunk of applications, customers and revenues.
Is this the last sale by Aptean? Has it started to build a war chest to make a significant acquisition in one of the remaining spaces it operates in? Will there be a further thinning down of applications? Is it clearing the decks for its own sale?
It is an interesting tactic that may see Aptean emerge as a leaner more focused organisation in 2019. However, what that focus will be, remains unclear. Product announcements continue apace but that is not surprising as it is selling the applications as going concerns. When will the selling end and the buying begin again?
•	"There are a few more products that are part of the Vertical Business Applications portfolio that go with the new company, Avolin. The full list is: Computron, CoreTrac, GoMembers, IMI Supply Chain, Knova, MarketFirst, Onyx, Pivotal, Saratoga, Service Gateway, SupportSoft, Tradebeam (GTM and iSupply), Verdiem, and Vision.
•	To further clarify, products remaining with Aptean are: Activplant, Apprise, AssetPoint (TabWare), Axis, Catalyst, Cimnet, Compiere, DTR, Encompix, EquipSoft, Factory, GQ Life Sciences, Intuitive, irms|360, JustFood, Made2Manage, Product Configurator, Respond, and Ross.
•	The remaining Aptean portfolio can best be described as including ERP solutions, supply chain management solutions, manufacturing execution systems, asset management solutions, and compliance solutions. The CRM solutions are part of Avolin and the public sector and healthcare solutions are now part of a new company called CentralSquareTechnologies.


Rights and Conflict Studies. I am currently working towards receiving a distinction in Leadership Studies on my diploma, and I plan to attend law school. Based off this alone, you can see why I would chose to work at a place like Alabama Appleseed! I am thrilled to be interning with Alabama Appleseed this summer and I am looking forward to all the new learning experiences I will have while here!
While I have always been interested in law, it wasn't until I was introduced to a certain professor in college that I realized my passion for human rights. My freshman year I took a class called American Inequality, and it opened my eyes to how much injustice there is in the United States and the barriers that impoverished people face. I had always known there was inequality, but I had never been able to articulate the in-depth, systemic problems that impoverished people face. Through our readings of Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by in America, Our Kids, and other works, I was able to see factual research on inequality and the many facets of it. Although our readings may not have always left me in the best of moods, it fired up my passion to do more in the world and to give my life and the lives of others meaning. We also were required to volunteer at different organizations around Birmingham, and this helped me to think critically about poverty and helped me see reflections of my in-class learning in everyday life. My class discussions and discussions with my professor were not only meaningful but have influenced my career path. Since taking this class, I have since added Human Rights Conflict Studies to my diploma, as well as Leadership Studies. I have also been heavily involved in efforts for change, including lots of volunteer work. I have spent the past two Spring Breaks traveling to different parts of the country to help provide aid for those in need, and I regularly volunteer at programs like First Light Women's Shelter in Birmingham. Although I love volunteering, I desire to do more for people and to have a direct hand in making a positive change in the lives of others. American Inequality, along with other classes, and my community partnerships have shown me that I care more about the lives I touch, than the accolades that I may receive through my work.
my colleagues and make significant moves towards bettering the lives of Alabamians.

CONNECT – KNOWING WHEN THINGS GET REAL.
Our e-bikes are particularly valuable, especially in their role as indispensable companions in everyday life and leisure. Thieves have long recognized that high-quality e-bikes can be a lucrative business.
Connect is an intelligent security system that lets you know exactly where your e-bike is at any given time. The GPS-based location and alarm system shows the exact location of the e-bike in a smartphone app with the touch of a button and reports any unexpected movements as an alarm. Thanks to a partnership with vodafone, this service is also available internationally.
Once fully integrated, Connect sends a permanent GPS signal that shows the current location of the e-bike in our My Bike app. Especially intelligent is the integrated GPS Shield, an electronic zone boundary with motion detector. Just open the app and specify the radius in which the bike may move without an alarm being triggered. An integrated battery provides back-up power for 3 days. It recharges automatically via the e-bike's battery.
In the event of an alarm, you can respond immediately, notify the police, and, if the thief is not promptly arrested, track the e-bike and determine the location after days. E-bikes with Connect usually find their way back to their owners quickly. This is important because insurance companies often only compensate for part of the loss when a high-priced e-bike is stolen.
The additional security that comes with GPS tracking costs only €2.50 a month starting in the thirteenth month. We will cover the service charges for the first year.
The Connect module in your e-bike receives data via the GPS signal.
The Connect module establishes an internet connection from the e-bike using GPRS.
The Connect module sends and stores the position of your e-bike on an internet server.
The location of your e-bike and much more is displayed in the My Bike app.
Geo zones let you readily set a radius in which your e-bike can move. As soon as the e-bike crosses beyond that radius, you will be notified immediately. This works both for leaving or entering a zone. This way, not only can you react quickly in the event of a theft, but you'll also know when family members have arrived safely at home on their e-bikes.
Track cycling tours, keep track of miles covered, and switch between practical day and week views with the clear bike history in the My Bike app. Here you can see at a glance which routes and how many miles you have ridden.
The Connect module will provide alerts about suspicious movements or low battery charge so you can respond quickly in an emergency. Especially important for reliable theft protection: messages when leaving or entering the geo zones or speeds over 50 km/h, indicating your e-bike is likely on a van or a trailer. All notifications can be switched on or off at any time: you decide which messages you would like to receive!
