I had become increasingly dissatisfied with the sound of my second system in the bedroom compared to the main system. The second system is in use more now I am retired and do not have to get up early for work.
The offer on the Cubettes was too good to ignore and before they settled in I took up the offers on the P20, A20 and SSC, LS2 already being in place. The transformation in sound seems like a veil has been lifted and going into a lot of detail would be missing the wood for the trees. It now seems like musicians are playing instruments with vocals conveying emotion. The Cubettes brought about most of the improvements, the amps and interconnector increased dynamic range and bass extension. For their size the bass performance of the Cubbettes, supported by washing machine anti vibration pads, is impressive.
The new kit has replaced a Marantz amplifier and Wharfdale Diamond speakers I have had for some time. Both received five star What HiFi reviews. With the previous system I used a Bluetooth DAC because the benefits of a DAC connected to my phone were marginal. Not so with the NVA system. The system is transparent enough to show the subtle difference between the Chord Mojo and Audioquest Dragonfly Red DACs. I find the 3v output of the Mojo too high for the P20 and lower it to achieve the best results. Because of the location the music played has been of wider appeal than what is played on the main system. It has mainly comprised 70s compilation CDs ripped to WAV via the USB Audio Player Pro app which I have found improves SQ.
I must point out that the positioning of the system fits in with the lay out of the room and is therefore not ideal. The components are on top of a cupboard, with the speakers each side of the amplifiers, slightly above optimum height and not facing the listening area. One is in front of a solid wall, the other a heavy curtain. I'm sure the semi omnidirectional design comes into its own in the circumstances. Although listening has been at low levels, it can provide plenty of volume if required. The small size of the components is a plus point for the WAF factor. The footprint is little bigger than that of a small ghetto blaster which was my second system in years gone by.
I am very pleased with the system and am sure its musicality would blow away many costing much more, especially with the speakers optimally sited.
I thought I'd send you some thoughts on the p50sa. If you post them in your reviews thread, could you attribute to Tom A, as you did before, rather than using my full name? Thanks!
I've been running p50sa everyday since Friday. Moving from my active pre to the p50sa made for a few changes. Things acquired a certain weight and solidity, making the sound through the active pre seem a bit thin and ethereal in comparison. My initial impression was one of losing some high frequency detail, but listening more I came to realise that this was more a case of lower frequencies having greater presence than of the high frequencies being absent. Overall the presentation seems more natural now - less hi-fi - and, listening to familiar tracks, I've heard details that I've not heard before; particular in very densely layered music, individual layers are coming through more distinctly now. The imaging is also a little different, not obviously better or worse, just different. The experience with the p50sa has left me even more intrigued to try NVA amplification, which I'm now very much looking forward to doing.
Bump - Over two weeks since the last one can I please nag you again as it is my only current promotion.

El Clásico español è il nome con cui è comunemente indicata la partita di calcio disputata tra le squadre del  e del , i due club più titolati di Spagna.

Nonostante non possa essere indicato come un derby vero e proprio secondo i criteri generali (si affrontano squadre di città differenti), nell'immaginario collettivo è divenuto l'incontro più sentito da entrambe le tifoserie, nonché uno dei più famosi a livello europeo e mondiale.

Storia
La rivalità tra Barcellona e Real Madrid è leggendaria, non solo perché si tratta dei due club più titolati del campionato spagnolo. Sin dall'inizio le società furono considerate rappresentanti delle due regioni rivali della Spagna, la Catalogna e la Castiglia, così come delle due stesse città.

La contrapposizione raggiunse un livello maggiore durante la dittatura di Francisco Franco, il quale fu accusato di proteggere il Real Madrid. I tifosi del Real Madrid sostengono che in realtà Franco faceva il tifo per l', squadra dei militari e del governo, che prima dell'insediamento al potere da parte del Caudillo militava in seconda divisione, mentre nel primo anno dopo la guerra civile conquistò il titolo nazionale. Un'altra argomentazione sostenuta dai madridisti è il fatto che nei primi 15 anni del franchismo, dal 1939 al 1954, il Barcellona e altre squadre conquistarono un numero nettamente maggiore di trofei nazionali, in particolare in quegli anni il Madrid non vinse alcun campionato mentre prima della guerra civile era ai vertici del calcio spagnolo. Inoltre nel 1940 Enric Pineyro, un collaboratore di Franco, divenne presidente del Barcellona.

I fatti indicano che durante la guerra civile spagnola a soffrire il regime di Franco furono membri di entrambi i club. Il presidente del Real Madrid Rafael Sánchez Guerra, un eminente repubblicano, fu imprigionato e torturato. I sicari del dittatore arrestarono e assassinarono anche un vicepresidente e tesoriere del Real e un presidente ad interim scomparve. La rivalità con il Barça nacque dopo la semifinale della Copa del Generalísimo del 1943 tra le due squadre. La partita di andata al Les Corts terminò con una vittoria del Barça per 3-0, ma il ritorno si concluse con un passivo di 11-1. Si è insinuato che sui giocatori blaugrana furono fatte pressioni affinché perdessero la partita.

La rivalità riaffiorò negli anni '50 con la questione riguardante l'acquisto di Alfredo Di Stéfano: i diritti sul giocatore erano divisi tra due squadre, il River Plate e i Millionarios. Il Barcellona raggiunse un accordo con i Millionarios ma non con il River Plate, mentre al Real Madrid avvenne l'esatto contrario. La FIFA propose una soluzione salomonica, ovvero che Di Stéfano avrebbe dovuto dividere la sua carriera tra le due squadre, giocando una stagione a Barcellona ed una a Madrid. Il presidente del Barcellona inizialmente accettò, salvo poi tornare sui suoi passi lasciando così campo libero al Real nell'operazione. Il giocatore si accasò dunque al Real Madrid, in cui sarebbe diventato uno dei calciatori più forti di ogni epoca.

Le competizioni in cui la sfida è andata in scena almeno una volta sono — oltre al campionato nazionale — la Coppa del Re, la Supercoppa spagnola e la Champions League. Tra i singoli risultati, spiccano in particolare il 6-2 blaugrana del 2 maggio 2009 e il 5-0 (sempre a favore dei catalani) del 28 novembre 2010. L'anno solare 2011 vide disputare, a cavallo tra due stagioni, ben 7 clásicos: oltre alle partite di Liga, anche la finale di Copa del Rey, la semifinale di Champions e la Supercoppa di Spagna. Il bilancio fu di una vittoria per i madrileni, 4 per i catalani e 2 pareggi.

Beware of HMRC 'phishing' scam, says Buteman reader
Images of the women were posted online
Buteman reader Anne Berrich has warned people to be aware of an email scam in the form of what looks like an official message from HM Revenue and Customs.
The 'phishing' bid, regularly reported throughout the UK and beyond, tells the email's recipient that he or she is owed a tax refund.
'Phishing' is the term for the fraudulent act of emailing a person in order to obtain their personal or financial information, such as passwords and credit card or bank account details.
Anne, who received the email in question, told us: "It looks official but is a scam. People should be alert and not give out any personal info/bank or credit card details. Inform HMRC if this happens.
"I didn't immediately smell a rat as the email looked official. Fortunately I phoned an accountant who knew right away it was a scam."
The message was forwarded to HMRC who confirmed that it did not come from them. For more information on how to spot whether an email purporting to be from HMRC is genuine or a phishing scam, click here.
This is how many points you'll get on your licence for these driving offences

Over the past couple of years, advertisers have focused on targeting extremely specific types of individuals. As web browsers decrease cookie usage and data privacy laws are implemented, ultra-narrow planning techniques will widen and strengthen the appeal of contextual messaging. Combining location and a variety of variables relevant to a contextual audience is a core benefit of OOH. Moreover, an increased need to use multiple, complementary channels throughout the sales funnel will accelerate the development of multi-touch attribution tools that identify the value of OOH more clearly than last-touch attribution.
While the conversation has mostly centered around what was done or is presumed could be done with data, a review of how these laws will affect the value of the data that digital marketers use has been rather mute. However, the impacts are going to be widespread and have a profound impact on digital marketing. But these impacts are not just going to be felt from a regulatory standpoint; tech companies like Apple are taking aim at adding significant privacy tools that will disrupt Facebook's data collection capabilities. Companies will also need to severely limit their ability to collect behavioral data, a mainstay dependency of marketers for over a decade. Compounding this limitation is the illegality of using automated decision making, which will have a significant impact on the efficacy of driving inferences and targeting and re-targeting ads.
All this means that rather than continuing on its astounding upward market value creation, the $59B online marketing industry is going to contract, and that money, searching for a place to find value, is going to go to the one market that does not rely on creating natural person profiles to validate ad spends: the OOH market. OOH's value is going to be lifted by innovation in physical data that will provide relevance to advertisers and media buyers and create increased ad spending by them combined with the depreciating value of the data that the digital market contains. This means that billboard owners will see increasing revenue due to the devaluation of the digital space.
As a consumer, I would be happy to have better protections of my "anonymized" data, but how will this affect us in the OOH world? I honestly don't think it will affect us in the near term. As long as consumers get the $.99 app for free, and continue to not read the new privacy policies, it should continue to be business as usual.
As for long-term, I feel there will be a change in transparency of what the companies are doing with user data, and the model will need to change. A free app may not be enough any longer. Data aggregation companies will need to move to a more consumer-focused model. I knowingly give my data to Google for advertising, but I gain many perks personally for doing so. I am reminded when to depart my house to make my flight on time, I am offered deals from restaurants that I have visited and ultimately enjoy much more ME-focused online and mobile experiences.
I don't see any companies stopping their collecting of user data, but they should change their model to be more beneficial to the consumers giving it up. When consumers are aware they are giving their data away, they can judge if the benefits outweigh the cons. You will undoubtedly have folks opt out, but knowing where your data is being used, and what the direct consumer benefits are, it will actually be better for the industry. We can follow up with surveys to those interested, and really create an open dialog with the end user, because they have come to expect it. Did you see this unit? Did you like the creative? Did you make a purchase?
I think it could be a positive for the industry if the companies are completely open to what they are doing with it and share a little revenue back to the consumer.
The adoption of privacy-centric regulations such as GDPR and others are focused on one thing: giving additional control and transparency to the consumer. The impact on the OOH industry will vary depending on factors such as regional regulation, technology adoption, and more. I believe the common thread to be seen by most or all organizations will be dedicated resources (perhaps a chief data officer) to ensure best practices and vetting of various ways that data is used in the buying/selling process.
There are a few different areas to look at when it comes to GDPR. I think generally it's too early to know who got GDPR wrong, but I see the key issue for big companies will be working out who is liable for the data processing activities. As for who will win in the end, will it be the bureaucrats or "legitimate interest?" Only time will tell.
In terms of GDPR's impact on OOH, we have looked at this extensively in the UK and how it could potentially impact our projects. For general data-driven campaigns that use location, weather, or time of day, GDPR has no impact. Where it comes into play is for those campaigns that leverage user-generated content from social media.
Another area of focus is the use of cameras, either for facial and gesture recognition, or measuring audience engagement. The data collected will create some privacy challenges especially when used in very public spaces when passersby might be recorded. That said, the actual experience for those on the ground hasn't changed much. For example, before GDPR, an interactive public-facing campaign would require a simple sign stating that participants may be filmed and their information used in the experience. Whereas today, detailed information covering all forms of data processing, image capture, and how their email address will be used and stored must be explicit, and any social media integration will each need their own express permission.
So the arrival of GDPR is not the Armageddon some people have predicted. GDPR is about protecting consumers and providing transparency over how their personal data is collected, processed, and used by brands.

What You Need To Know About Hepatitis A in Washtenaw County
by Discover Communities
As of last week, Michigan officially has the deadliest of several hepatitis A outbreaks going on nationwide. Washtenaw County is one of multiple counties in southeast Michigan with an increased number of hepatitis A cases.
Outbreak in Southeast Michigan
As of Jan. 10, 2018, there have been 677 cases of hepatitis A diagnosed in Southeast Michigan since Aug. 2016. Of those reported cases, 554 required hospitalization and 22 resulted in death. In Washtenaw County, 13 cases have been identified since the outbreak began. One of those cases were reported in 2016, ten in 2017, and two already in 2018. Learn more about the Southeast Michigan outbreak at www.mi.gov/hepatitisaoutbreak.
Since the beginning of the outbreak in August 2016, public health response has included increased healthcare awareness efforts, public notification and education, and outreach with vaccination clinics for high-risk populations. No common sources of food, beverages, or drugs have been identified as a potential source of infection. Transmission appears to be through direct person-to-person spread and illicit drug use. Those with history of injection and non-injection drug use, homelessness or transient housing, and incarceration are thought to be at greater risk in this outbreak setting. Notably, this outbreak has had a high hospitalization rate.
No common sources of food, beverages, or drugs have been identified as a potential source of infection. Vaccination and good handwashing can help prevent the spread of illness. Vaccination is strongly recommended for anyone at increased risk of illness or who works in certain occupations where infection could spread to large numbers of people.
Public health officials and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) are continuing to see an elevated number of hepatitis A cases in Southeast Michigan.
Jay Fiedler, MDHHS section manager for surveillance and infectious disease epidemiology says, "hepatitis A isn't usually too serious for the average healthy person. We are seeing deaths more associated with people who have chronic liver conditions, or other conditions that make them more frail."
Even though hepatitis A isn't usually deadly, given the outbreak, MDHHS is encouraging people in high-risk categories such as people with substance abuse problems, people who have been incarcerated and people with underlying medical conditions, especially liver problems, to get vaccinated.
While Michigan's outbreak has been linked to those higher-risk groups, it isn't strongly tied to any one of them, and almost 40% of cases is made up of people with no known risk factors. There's also no identified source for this outbreak.
Hepatitis A is caused by the hepatitis A virus, and it can cause damage to the liver and other health problems. Hepatitis A can range from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a serious illness lasting several months.
Symptoms of hepatitis A include fatigue, poor appetite, stomach pain or tenderness, nausea or vomiting, dark urine, and yellowing of the skin (jaundice). Most children less than 6 years do not experience symptoms. Symptoms typically appear 2 to 6 weeks after exposure. Individuals with symptoms should call their provider or seek care.
Washtenaw County is considered part of a larger, ongoing outbreak of hepatitis A in Southeast Michigan. Hepatitis A appears to be spreading through direct person-to-person contact or illicit drug use. Those with history of injection and non-injection drug use, homelessness, or incarceration are thought to be at greatest risk.
The virus is found in the feces of people with hepatitis A. Most infections result from contact with an infected household member or sex partners. The virus can also be spread by consuming food or drink that has been handled by someone with hepatitis A. It is not spread through coughs or sneezes. Someone who has hepatitis A can spread it to others for up to 2 weeks before symptoms appear.
The best way to prevent hepatitis A is to get vaccinated. One dose is almost 95 percent effective at preventing infection, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The hepatitis A vaccine is now routinely recommended for children at one year of age. Most adults, however, have not been vaccinated against hepatitis A.
Frequent handwashing with soap and warm water after using the bathroom and before handling food can also help prevent the spread of hepatitis A. Appropriately cooking foods can also help prevent infection. Freezing does not kill the virus.
Additional prevention strategies include using your own towels, toothbrushes, and eating utensils; not sharing food, drinks, or cigarettes; and not having sex with someone who has the hepatitis A virus.
Vaccination Strongly Encouraged
"We have an extremely effective hepatitis A vaccine, however, most adults haven't received it," says Jessie Kimbrough Marshall, MD, MPH, medical director with Washtenaw County Health Department. "We are working to offer it as quickly and as easily as possible, especially to those groups we've prioritized as being at increased risk of infection or transmission of the hepatitis A virus."
Vaccination in Washtenaw County
Prior to the current outbreak, the average number of adult doses of hepatitis A vaccine given in Washtenaw County was about 90 per week. Since Oct 2017, that number has increased to over 370 doses per week for a total of more than 3,973 adult doses from Oct. 1, 2017 – Dec.10, 2017. (Data from Michigan Care Improvement Registry.)
Washtenaw County Health Department has given over 1,270 doses of hepatitis A vaccine since Oct. 1, 2017.
Washtenaw County Health Department is prioritizing vaccination for: People who use injection or non-injection illegal drugs; People currently homeless or in transient living; Male same sex partners; People incarcerated in correctional facilities; People who work with these higher risk groups, including health care providers and first responders; People who have close contact, care for, or live with someone who has hepatitis A; People with liver disease (such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or cirrhosis) or clotting factor disorders; People who prepare food for others, such as food service employees and restaurant workers.
Washtenaw County Health Department can provide hepatitis A vaccination to anyone without health insurance, with Medicaid, or who cannot get it elsewhere. Please call 734-544-6700 to schedule an appointment.
COST: There is no additional charge for the hepatitis A vaccine if you are among those prioritized for vaccination, are uninsured, or have Medicaid.
If you have private insurance, please check with your health care provider first. Washtenaw County Health Department can provide vaccination at no additional charge if you cannot get it elsewhere and are among those prioritized for vaccination.

It's not common, but I have gone through some divorce cases where the other side, for whatever reason, elects not to hire an attorney to represent them.
Generally I handle these cases the same way, although instead of communicating with the other side's attorney, I communicate directly with the other side.
1. The other side doesn't know the law. And because they're distrustful of you (their husband or wife), they don't believe you when you tell them how the law works. This can slow down the process tremendously.
2. They don't have a good feel for how things generally go. There most definitely is a flow and process to a divorce, starting with how meetings with attorneys generally go, to attending mediation, to going to trial.
When the other side doesn't understand this flow, they'll make unrealistic requests. In a recent case, one side wanted to pay less than the general guidelines for child support. His reasoning was that he was allowing his former spouse to keep her married name and in his mind, that allowance had a financial value.
In reality, he had no right to take her married name away from her, but since he didn't understand how the law works, we had to fight about it until he finally hired an attorney who straightened things out.
3. They don't follow the rules. When the other party doesn't follow the rules, it slows things down, makes them more complicated, and ultimately more expensive (when they finally do realize they need to hire an attorney, three months later).
So, generally speaking, when the other side doesn't have legal representation the case becomes more complicated. It may take longer and you may find yourself arguing about things that an attorney would breeze through because they know the law.
To put one final thought to rest: when I represent a client whose spouse doesn't have an attorney, people generally assume that I'm glad about that because I'll be able to get a great deal for my client. That's not really true because the Court reviews all agreements before finalizing divorce cases to make sure they're fair. This means that it's in everyone's best interest for me to create an agreement that feels fair.

My friend Dan, who was with me last night watching our Filipina friend Maricel perform the song in Mandarin at a hotel lounge, was explaining the respect Chinese like him- someone who just turned forty- has for Teresa Teng. How it's all about the purity and "sweetness" of her voice. How other Chinese artists might be hugely popular, but that Teresa Teng is in a different league. An untouchable.
When having only recently entered the world of advertising and with a local ad agency which went on to become DDB, it was then Chairman Philip Tse, below, who introduced me to the music of Teresa Teng.
At that time, the singer was living in Paris with her French partner, and had retired from recording and performing. Philip had the idea of turning twelve well-known Chinese poems from into music- and which could only be sung by Teresa Teng.
With mutual friend Norman Cheng running Polygram Music, the project was presented and sold to him. Successful and respected in the music industry, Norman used his persuasive skills to attract Teng back to the recording world for this project.
The elaborately packaged album of poems was released and immediately went Gold. Teresa Teng was back.
I met her briefly during that time and heard about her relationship with actor Jackie Chan.
There was then her engagement to Malaysian billionaire businessman Robert Kuok's son Beau. Not agreeing with various prenuptial demands like giving up her singing career and never writing an autobiography, she walked away from this relationship. She was no pushover.
Extremely careful about keeping her personal life personal, to her legion of fans around Asia and Japan, it was all about her voice, described by one critic as "seventy percent sweetness and thirty percent tears".
With Polygram, she recorded in Japanese and became the first Chinese artist to break into that market. For Norman Cheng, this was a huge step forward in his career ascendancy. The lucrative Japanese market came under his portfolio whereas Teresa Teng continued to record for Polygram before eventually switching music companies.
Returning home, I kept thinking of Teresa Teng. I remember writing English lyrics for "The Moon Is Like My Heart". For who? No idea. There were a number of English versions. Most were bloody awful. The song with its simple folk song chords belonged to Teresa Teng. Could only work when sung in Mandarin.
I remember hearing about her death while she was holidaying in Thailand of a severe asthma attack. That was in 1995. She was 42.
Listening to her Greatest Hits record with my current partner, Chinese and someone in her early thirties, she talked about how, being Taiwanese, Teresa Teng had her music banned in China during the Eighties. About how she performed at pro-Democracy concerts in Paris and Hong Kong following the student uprising in 1989 at Tiananmen. I never knew. But her political leanings, a very personal life that faded to black with her passing made me realise how little we know about this fascinating woman.
Perhaps this is what makes Teresa Teng so special. She demanded privacy. She commanded respect. And let her music speak for her. After all these years, it still does.
Her music makes Teresa Teng timeless and ageless. She could have recorded a wonderful version of "Moon River"- in Mandarin. The only Chinese singer who could have made this A&R idea work.
Teresa Teng was and is very very special. Somehow, someone will bring her songs back again- and with the dignity they deserve. This has to happen.


This enthusiasm never subsides. As the quintet move through their repertoire, ranging from the classic British rock of Kooky Clothes with Laurie Sherman's fantastic bass impressing the listeners, to the elegant and melancholic Lady Luck from their 2016 album Palomino, it becomes clear that the onlookers love them. How could they not? The concert is beautifully arranged, from heart-wrenching and desolate to rapturous and euphoric.
By the time the musicians play crowd favourite Sweet Green & Blues, the spectators are fully engaged, with the front row jumping and dancing to the upbeat number, clearly impressed by Morrison's rich and warm vocal prowess and Rupert Shreeve's pitch-perfect art as percussionist. Especially when Sam Beer joins the lead singer in providing amazing vocal harmonies, the viewers go wild, yelling and clapping at every possible moment. With Needle, the gang demonstrates its comfort in engaging with calmer and more peaceful Caribbean-touched tracks, allowing Geoff Thomas Widdowson to prove his mastery of the saxophone.
The five-piece finishes their performance with the crazy psych-inspired Art of Deception, an eight-minute battle between all band members as they fight for dominance and prove, one by one, their dexterity with various instruments and vocal techniques.

My light is showing up red and green together on my mx500 razor dirt bike why?
Hi, Glen for more information about your question and valuable "FREE" downloads that you will need please click on the links below. Good luck and have a nice day.
Then the battery is caputt as the Germans say.
You can buy a tool online that grabs the free to turn it off if the wheel center hub. Looks like a socket with 4 teeth.
Yes, your batteries need replacement, that will solve the problem.
I posted a solution to this previously, please check it out.
It is the rear freewheel assembly causing the problem. if is fixable, but you have to be good with tools, the bicycle shop and the electric bike shop both said they couldn't fix it, but is is doable. 1. you need a special bmx tool that fits that back wheel, your local bike shop should have it in stock. 2. you need to remove the freewheel sprocket and disgard it along with the the bearings (make sure to unscrew the razor chain sprocket from the freewheel assembly and secure it for reuse). 3. either purchase a new freewheel sprocket for bmx wheel or remove one from a old bike (again you will a special tool for that). 4. screw the razor chair sprocket onto the new BMX sprocket (it goes on with the same 4 original screws, right over the sprockets. 5. Screw the freewheel back onto the rim now. tada its fixed.
This is a wiring diagram for the Mx500 razor. hope this helps!
The chain tensioner is on the right side of the bike a few inches or so in front of the tire on the rear swing arm all you do is adjust it up to tighten and down to loosen it.
Based on the limited info provided, it appears you have a rechargeable razor that you plug in to recharge.
I had this occur with an older shaver I had years ago. The suspected issue is tha the battery isn't fully charged and the razor is running on battery power while the cord is plugged into it and the power outlet.
However, the cord is making a loose connection at the razor or has a broken conductor in the cord. So and what is happening is that you arfe getting an intermittent power connection that allows the power to run the razor, which would be why it seems to "speed up" as any rechargeable product always run faster/better when connected directly to an electric power source.
You can look at the plug on the razor to see if the pins/connector is loose, and also carefully check the cord to see if shows signs of having been sharply kinked or bent at the razor plug end or at the power plug end or along it somewhere.
It could be as simple as replacing the power cord. Or you may have to take the razor apart to repair the charging socket at the razor to resolve this issue.
flashing three times means something physically wrong with ur laptop. could be fault with ur power supply, Hard drive or ram.
- with the battery, plug in ur power supply and check if ur LED is glowing and the laptop is charging well.
- reset the RAM and the Hard drive, [ for this take out the ram and Hard drive and put them back again].
if still the problem persists, take it to repair. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- u dont have to worry bout the backup in ur laptop. a simple solution would be to get a 2.5 inch hard drive enclosure, install ur harddrive into that, connect it to a different computer and back it up!, but be sure what type of Harddrive u have , is it a IDE harddrive or a SATA harddrive.
I have 2 new mx350 razor motor bike, when i put the charger on them the indicate light is green. I cut the on switch on and it didn't move. Can you help me with my problem please.
Have a manual for Razor Cyclings?

Q: Crystal Reports Parameters - One List rather than pages All,
My first ever post - here goes!
I am using a Dynamic Parameter to filter a report based on Purchase Order Number.
I have created the Parameter, but only so many results are on the list, then you have to change to page 2 and start looking through again, is there anyway to get all values on a single list.
I have am awaiting my IT Department to do the Registry edit to increase the search size, as I have well over 1,000 records.
Finally, I assume the user couldn't search for a relevant value in the list?
I am using Crystal Reports 2011 64 Bit Version
Any help would be great.

She was at a crossroad. In one direction light, love, transcendence beckoned. She could see the sunlight; feel the breath of sweet cool wind on her cheek. This way promised redemption, solace, a chance at a future she had thought not meant for her in this lifetime. Him.
In the other darkness whispered. Demons she tried to bury clawed their way along the blackness murmuring of time lost, love shattered, and self-doubt clouding any chance of lighthearted thought.
She wasn't like most. Darkness did not frighten her. She had danced with these demons before with their crimson glare, comfortable in the spaces between conscious thought, taunting her with past failures.
But she grew restless succumbing to the voices. It had dawned a new day and she had woken with brightness in her eyes. She stood tall; shoulders squared, looked into those red-rimmed eyes and turned from the dark path.
There would always be darkness inside her but she now had control over how much power she gave it. She turned her face into the cool breeze and took a firm step toward the light, smiling at the howls from the darkness as they faded in the background.
Her first book, Stardust and Fire, Tales of a Hopeful Romantic was published in November of 2015 and has received excellent reviews and won the honorable award in 2016 at Readers Favorite. Tracy's second book of poems delves deeper into thoughts of love and loss.

Retired religious honored
There are many men and women religious living at the poverty level, according to Sister Paula A. Kelleher, diocesan vicar for religious. The national Retirement Fund for Religious was established to offer financial assistance to those religious institutes that need it to take care of those men and women who faithfully served the Church all of their lives.
Sister Paula, a Sister of St. Joseph, is also chairwoman of the Retirement Fund for Religious Appeal Committee in the Worcester Diocese. The committee gives out the annual Retired Religious Awards. This year two religious sisters and one moniales, member of a monastic religious community of women, received the awards, she said.
"The sole purpose is to keep the cause of the sick and frail religious in the forefront," she said. And it is working. For several years now the committee has set a collection goal of $200,000 and it has been reached, she said. The Retirement Fund is an independent national collection that takes place each December. All the money goes to the National Religious Retirement Office in Washington. Religious institutes apply to the office for grants on a "needs basis," she said. This year's collection is Dec. 10-11.
On Sunday Bishop McManus gave out the 12th annual Retired Religious Awards in Our Lady of Providence Chapel at St. Vincent Hospital.
Sister Louise Marie Assad
By William T. Clew
HOLYOKE - Sister Louise Marie Assad, a Sister of St. Joseph, was a first-grade teacher for more than 50 years.
The formula for her success as a teacher? She attributes that to a good relationship with the Lord, a good family, the influence of her congregation, the Sisters of St. Joseph and the fact that she loves people, she loves children and she loved to teach.
She also said that she had the cooperation of the families of the children she taught.
She grew up in Worcester. She and her family belonged to Our Lady of Mercy, the Maronite parish, which recently moved from Mulberry Street to St. Charles Borromeo Church at 341 June St.
She said her family provided a good home environment. They prayed together and went to church together.
She graduated from Commerce High School. She said she was not exactly sure when she decided she wanted to become a nun. But one day while having dinner with her family, she said, she stood up and announced to them that that's what she wanted to be.
Later her mother suggested that she join the Sisters of Mary. But she had already decided on the congregation. She said that as a youngster she was impressed by Sister Rita Vincent, a Sister of Saint Joseph and that was the congregation she wanted to join. So in July 1935, she went to the motherhouse in Springfield to begin her new life and life's work.
She said she taught school and attended Our Lady of the Elms College at the same time. She earned a bachelor's degree in English and, later, a master's degree in sociology.
The elementary schools where she taught over the years include Sacred Heart in Holyoke, Holy Family in Springfield, Sacred Heart in Pawtucket, R.I.; St. Mary's in Southbridge, and, for 32 years, St. Stephen's in Worcester.
She said she learned a lot from the first grade children she taught. She said they have an innocence about them.
"You can see God in them," she said.
She was a member of the Central Massachusetts Council of the International Reading Association. She once received a reading award from the council.
She retired in 1989 to St. Joseph Residence at Mont Marie where, she said, she is never idle. She said she knits, crochets and paints, makes ornamental pins and otherwise stays busy. The Sisters also make quilts which are given to homeless people, she said.
At 95 years old, Sister Louise said she thanks God "for all the years he has given me. I thank him for all he has given me."
Sister Mary Herbert
PETERSHAM - Sister Mary Herbert, of the Order of St. Benedict, was born Mary Lucille Walsh on Oct. 31, 1915 in Alpine, Indiana.
She was one of six children. A book, aptly titled "God Calls the Walsh Family," and compiled from letters from their mother to all the children and with additions from Sister Mary Herbert, tells the story of a hard-working family who loved God and each other, took care of one another and went, one after the other, into religious life. According to the book, Sister Mary Herbert's family called her Lucille while she was growing up and she had a bit of mischief in her.
"We had a happy, holy home," she said. The family prayed the rosary and went to Mass together. And when each of the brothers and sisters decided to follow a religious vocation, their parents supported and helped them.
Her three brothers became priests, all of them members of the Order of St. Benedict. She and her two sisters also became members of the Order of St. Benedict.
Sister Mary Herbert said that when her sister, Esther, told her parents that she wanted to become a nun, they enrolled her in a Benedictine boarding school in Ferdinand, Ind., 200 miles from home, the place Esther had chosen.
The family drove the 200 miles in their second-hand Buick which, she said, didn't go faster than 35 miles an hour. The trip took a couple of days over the roads available in 1925. The three girls slept on padded boards laid out on the tops of the car seats. The boys slept underneath on the seats. Their parents slept in a tent outside the car. They cooked their meals on a portable stove.
Lucille entered the same boarding school in 1929, but had not yet discerned her vocation. Her brothers, Edward and Paul, who had decided to be priests, were in a nearby school. Her youngest brother, Charles, enrolled with his brothers in that school in 1930. The next summer the two older brothers decided to enroll in the Benedictine monastery, which meant that, according to the rules of that time, they could not come home again.
Members of her family cried when they said goodbye to the two boys. Lucille told them not to cry because she would be entering the convent the next year. It was the first time she had said that and it surprised her family. It surprised her a little, too, because she hadn't planned to tell them in that way.
When Lucille joined the Benedictines she took the name Sister Mary Herbert, Herbert being her father's name. She took temporary vows in 1933 and permanent vows in 1936. Her sister Esther was now Sister Mary Virginia, her brother Edward now was Father Joachim and her brother Paul was now Father Frederick. Later, her brother Charles became Father Marion, and her sister Margaret Rose became Sister Mary Marion.
Sister Mary Herbert finished high school and two years of college in Ferdinand. Later she attended classes at Incarnate Word College in Texas, The Catholic University in Washington, D.C. and Indiana State College in Terre Haute, Ind. She earned a master's degree in education, primary and secondary teaching licenses and principal's and supervisor's licenses.
She taught at several primary and secondary schools in Indiana, was a principal and supervisor and also taught college courses. In 1971 she was named sub-prioress of the Ferdinand convent. She continued in that position until 1974, when she left the convent in Indiana to begin a contemplative life in a Benedictine monastery in Durham, N.C.
When the Benedictines built Our Lady Queen Monastery in Tickfaw, La., it was a Walsh family project. Sister Marion was involved in buying the land and Sister Mary Herbert and her brother, Father Frederick, were involved in the planning for the building. In September 1984, the Sisters moved in. Sister Virginia, who had served as mother superior of the Durham monastery since 1970, continued in Tickfaw until 1985, when her term of office ended. Sister Mary Herbert was appointed to succeed her. She held that office until her term expired in 2003.
Sister Mary Herbert is the only member of her family still alive. In 2007 the Sisters left Tickfaw and moved to St. Scholastica Priory in Petersham. Though her hearing and eyesight is not what it once was, and she uses a powered wheelchair to get around, Sister Mary Herbert is an active member of the community of 13.
"They include me in everything," she said. "I love it."
Mother Mary Elizabeth Kloss, superior at St. Scholastica, said Sister Mary Herbert sometimes was called "Mother" after she had retired, though she said she wanted to be called "Sister."
"Actually, the only title she said she wants is 'Spouse of Christ,'" Mother Mary Elizabeth said. "She advises us and she inspires us."
At that compliment, Sister Mary Herbert smiled and said to a visitor, "After you leave I'm going to have to pay her."
Sister Mary Rose Zaccari
LEOMINSTER - Sister Mary Rose Zaccari, who was provincial of the Religious Venerini Sisters in the United States from 1977 to 1982 and again from 2001 to 2009, was 26 years old when she entered that religious congregation.
She was born Dec. 4, 1930, in Pittsfield, one of three children of Marty and Isabelle Zaccari. She went to public schools and graduated from Pittsfield High School.
She was a member of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish in Pittsfield and was active in parish life. After graduating from Pittsfield High School she worked in the local office of the state Welfare Department. But she left to join the Venerini Sisters in 1956 and professed permanent vows in 1959.
"I had the feeling that this was where I belonged," she said.
She began a teaching ministry in schools and in parishes that has continued for much of her life. From 1959 to 1963 she taught in St. Ann School in Leominster. She then moved to Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School in Watervliet, N.Y. and taught there for a year. From 1964 to 1965 she taught in St. Anthony School in Schenectady, N.Y.
After that she taught from 1965 to 1967 at Venerini Academy in Worcester, from 1967 to 1976 at Marian Central Catholic High School in Worcester and another year there after it merged with St. Peter's to become St. Peter-Marian Central Catholic Junior/Senior High School. She taught history and economics to junior high and high school students.
Along the way she earned a bachelor's degree in history and political science at the College of St. Rose in Albany, N.Y. in 1970; a master's degree in U.S. History at Assumption College in 1974 and a certificate of advanced graduate study from Assumption in 1986.
She also won several academic scholarships to summer institutes. They included studies in international justice in Los Angeles, Calif.; society and science in Colorado, economics at Assumption College and religious education at Fordham University in New York City.
In 1979 she became religious education coordinator at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Worcester, a position she held until 1981.
She was associate director of religious education for the Worcester Diocese from 1983 to 1993. During that time she gave talks and classes in parishes throughout the diocese and trained catechists.
Elizabeth A. Marcil, director of the diocesan Office of Religious Education, said Sister Mary Rose was very competent, with a care and concern for those to whom she ministered.
She led retreats and evenings of recollection in parishes throughout the diocese. She also loved to travel and traveled across the country, Ms. Marcil said.
Sister Mary Rose helped design the Loreto model for religious education, a summer religious teaching program for children. It was developed at Our Lady of Loreto Parish in 1995 and is still in use in several dioceses in the United States.
In 1998, in Washington, D.C., she received the Outstanding Religious Educators' Award from the National Center for Pastoral Leadership, She was one of only two teachers East of the Mississippi River to be honored that year.
Sister Mary Rose led retreats, including Day of Prayer for Women gatherings throughout the diocese. She was a member of the retreat team ministries for the Venerini Associates, the Newman Clubs at Worcester State and Fitchburg State colleges and retreats for separated and divorced Catholics in the Worcester, Fall River and Providence dioceses.
When she left the Office of Religious Education in 1993, her co-workers wrote: "Her vibrant teacher training sessions, her stories about junior high students, her down-to-earth talks to parents in sacramental sessions, have made Sister Mary Rose Zaccari a household name in parish religious education programs."

Building team behind Aldeburgh Hospital sensory garden win national award
Home > Latest news > Building team behind Aldeburgh Hospital sensory garden win national award
The team behind the construction of Aldeburgh Hospital's dementia-friendly sensory garden have received gold-standard, national recognition.
Roger Gladwell Landscape, Design and Construction were awarded the gold medal in the 'Community Garden' category at the National Landscaping Awards in London.
The sensory garden which is also open to the wider community, is a peaceful setting designed to stimulate the senses of patients, including those with anxiety or depression.
Aldeburgh Hospital matron, Michelle Fletcher, said: "Our patients' time matters and the garden is a focal point of the hospital which creates conversation and stimulation, helping them in their recovery and rehabilitation so they can return to the comfort of their own home as soon as possible.
Anne Parsons, volunteer garden team leader at Aldeburgh Hospital, said:
The garden is coming to life again as spring bulbs burst into flower. There are plenty of seats to sit and enjoy the view in the peaceful surroundings and the gardens are wheelchair and buggy friendly."
The garden, which also features a yellow spiral listening bench, can be prescribed by GPs to patients during their rehabilitation and recovery, for activities such as art, music and drama.
Darren Cox from Gladwell's said: "We are really pleased. It was a good evening and nice to get an award for our work."

HRW condemns 'pressure' on Syrians to leave Lebanon
BEIRUT: Human Rights Watch (HRW) on Friday condemned Lebanon's order for Syrian refugees to demolish their hard shelters as tantamount to "illegitimate pressure" on them to return to their war-torn country.Lebanon, a country of some 4 million people, says it hosts at least 1.5 million Syrians on its soil after they fled the eight-year civil war next door, many living in informal settlements in the country's east.Nearly a million are registered as refugees with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees.To discourage any permanent settlement, Lebanese authorities gave Syrians living in the region of Arsal until July 1 to demolish shelters made of anything but timber and plastic sheeting.Families have been forced to tear down any small cinderblock room they may have built, with the army stepping in to destroy at least 20 remaining hard shelters as the deadline passed on Monday."This crackdown on housing code violations should be seen for what it is, which is illegitimate pressure on Syrian refugees to leave Lebanon," HRW refugee rights director Bill Frelick said."Many of those affected have real reasons to fear returning to Syria, including arrests, torture and ill treatment by Syrian intelligence branches," he said.After several Russia-backed victories against opposition fighters and militants since 2015, the Damascus regime controls around 60 percent of Syria's territory.Young Syrian men in Lebanon have also told AFP they fear military conscription if they return.
• To discourage any permanent settlement, Lebanese authorities gave Syrians living in the region of Arsal until July 1 to demolish shelters made of anything but timber and plastic sheeting.
• Families have been forced to tear down any small cinderblock room they may have built, with the army stepping in to destroy at least 20 remaining hard shelters.
Aids groups have estimated up to 15,000 people, including 7,500 children, to have been affected by the demolition order.One family made to destroy their shelter last month told AFP they would not return to Syria as their Syrian home had been destroyed by war, leaving them instead to face another harsh winter in a tent.Echoing similar warnings from other rights monitors, HRW said the demolitions were just one of several methods used to pressure Syrians into leaving Lebanon."They include ramped up arrests and deportations, closing of shops, and confiscation or destruction of unlicensed vehicles, on top of other long-standing restrictions, including curfews and evictions, and barriers to refugee education, legal residency, and work authorization," Frelick said."Lebanon shouldn't create pressures that cumulatively coerce refugees to return involuntarily in conditions that are not conducive to a safe and dignified return," he said.Lebanese politicians and part of the population have called for Syrian refugees to go home, blaming them for a string of economic woes in the country.Syria's war has killed 370,000 people and displaced millions at home and abroad since it started in 2011 with a brutal crackdown on anti-government protests.

A booming Italian heavy rock underground marks yet another win in the self-titled debut from Napoli rockers Tuna de Tierra. Signed to Argonauta Records following a formative but engaging first short offering in 2015's self-released EPisode I: Pilot (review here), the heavy psych-infused trio of guitarist/vocalist Alessio de Cicco, bassist Luciano Mirra and Marco Mancaniello (who came aboard in place of Jonathan Maurano warm their skin in sun-baked desert influences across the offering's seven-track/47-minute run, finding a natural-sounding position between jamming and structuring and shifting fluidly between one or the other. Songs like "Morning Demon" seem to speak directly to the heavy rock tonal traditionalism born in the wake of Sweden's Lowrider, but the later drift of "Raise of the Lights" brings to mind a dreamier take on the psych-blues proffered by All Them Witches, particularly with Mirra's bouncing bassline and the handclap-laden semi-interlude "Long Sabbath's Day" preceding.
Broken into two sides with an intro for each, Tuna de Tierra's Tuna de Tierra gracefully builds on what the EP accomplished in setting forth on an aesthetic path, but perhaps most satisfies in the level of growth and expansion throughout its tracks. That is, they sound like a band who really learned from the experience of making their first release and set about writing an even richer and more complex set of songs from which to craft a full-length album. The progression doesn't sound forced, either, and through extended jams like the jangly 10-minute "Out of Time" and nine-minute "Laguna" — which close side A and B, respectively — Tuna de Tierra immerse the listener in a pretense-free depth of vibe that continues to expand as the album plays out.
An undertone of progressive sensibility is foreshadowed in the 2:46 intro "Slow Burn," but subtly, and the primary, first impression the long-player makes is in the guitar fuzz and the ease with which Tuna de Tierra seem to unfurl their first rollout and lead directly into the rest of what follows. Nonetheless, that progressive flourish is essential and comes through again and again in the low end and in some of de Cicco's more post-rocking stretches of guitar, or vocally in the penultimate "Mountain," which finds him matching notes with the noodling bassline over tense tom work, speaking on some level perhaps to Lateralus-era Tool. Of critical importance is the way in which Tuna de Tierra meld these aspects together so that, while "Long Sabbath's Day" marks a turning point in its position as the centerpiece track leading to the bluesier, proggier, jammier second half of the record, it's not like it's coming out of nowhere in doing so. There's no interruption to the overarching smoothness occurring song-to-song.
And if there were, frankly, the album would fall flat in its mission. That it doesn't signals an underlying consciousness on the part of the band, and one can't help but wonder how Tuna de Tierra was composed, as a concept/thematic record or simply as a collection of songs that happened to fit together in this way, but in any case, as the "Long Sabbath's Day" sets up the bluesy liquefaction of "Raise of the Lights," the hardest turn Tuna de Tierra will make is pulled off with seeming ease. And once they're there, de Cicco, Mirra and Mancaniello likewise have no apparent trouble in establishing themselves within the patient and spacious context that defines side B. Vocals don't delay in arriving in "Raise of the Lights," which owes some of its beginning tone to "Out of Time" before it — less directly fuzzed until the swaggering lead hits, but still laid back to the extreme — but the mood is casual all the same thanks to the light swing of the rhythm. Once again, a thrust of more driving riffery hits in the midsection, but though its arrival is willfully sudden, the transition back out to the track's more serene ending portion, while nothing more then a clicking-off of a pedal, benefits from the hypnosis cast prior.
Same could be said as "Mountain" picks up from the solo-topped march-out in that final section, and though its atmosphere is slightly more brooding, the build that seems to be underway after the first minute actually restrains itself and Tuna de Tierra successfully avoid redundancy, instead allowing for a more organic exploration of the meditative feel "Mountain" elicits. One might be tempted to call it minimal, especially as the guitar gently fades to bring in the soundscaping launch of "Laguna," but there's actually a good deal of movement taking place. All the better, since "Laguna" follows suit, finding itself working in three stages as it gradually heads toward the payoff for the full-length as a whole. Following an initial uptick in pace and volume after 4:20 in that leads to a righteously winding solo and some particularly fuzzed bass, a stop just before the six-minute mark and a quick roll from the toms announces the push that will cap Tuna de Tierra, already noted for its Kyuss-ism.
As with the rest of its surroundings however, it's worth emphasizing about that last segment that Tuna de Tierra do remarkably well in recontextualizing their influences, making the style their own, and that as they may be playing off the past, they're doing so in the direction of their own future. Like the EP before it, this self-titled demonstrates marked potential in setting the band apart from the increasingly crowded sphere of the Italian underground, but more importantly, it does this by virtue of the organic presentation of the band itself, rather than some hey-look-at-us attention grab playing toward a flawed notion of uniqueness. In further casting Tuna de Tierra's stylistic vision and giving hints at where their ongoing development might take them, Tuna de Tierra proves to be one of 2017's strongest debut full-lengths, and its effectiveness as such only seems to grow on repeat listens.

Digitization is transforming business and society. In my last article, I introduced four technology trends that NTT DATA has identified as the most influential. Here are another four groundbreaking developments that are set to disrupt entire industries in the near future.
Technology trends have already brought us huge advancements in healthcare, helping humans live longer than ever before. However, society will struggle to sustain an aging population. Could artificial intelligence help us "hack" life itself? The answer is yes and no. While we are still a long way away from preventing the aging process, artificial intelligence can analyze high-precision biological information to discover and predict future illnesses at an early stage. Combine this with other technology trends in digital healthcare, such as personal biometric devices, and we might just have a solution to the problems of an aging society.
For example, IT-based diagnosis can be used to spot signs of mental illnesses like depression and dementia earlier, thereby delaying the progression of symptoms. But emerging technology trends could even take us further than disease prevention and treatment. The next step would be to actually enhance the physical abilities of humans, increasing our productivity, even at older ages. A method of brainwave training called neurofeedback is one of the innovations already being used to train athletes and improve memory and language learning.
The world's average lifespan is expected to rise from 71 years old in 2015 to 78 years old in 2050.
One of the more concerning technology trends is cybercrime. As the world becomes increasingly digitized and connected, the risks and consequences of cyberattacks will continue to rise. Unless more robust cybersecurity measures are put in place, hackers will have a whole host of new opportunities to target businesses.
Fortunately, advanced technologies including AI can effectively respond to the growing threats. By including AI in a multilayered defense, companies can protect themselves more effectively. For example, AI can learn communication patterns and normal operating conditions to spot suspicious behavior and issue security alerts. AI is also helping businesses prepare against attacks by determining IT system vulnerability.
However, advanced cybercriminals are using AI for more sinister purposes, such as automatically generating malware and spam to target businesses. In order to win the AI battle, companies and security experts need to collaborate across nations and share intelligence.
The staggering amount of data that comes with technology trends like AI and IoT will demand new types of IT architecture. Diverse hardware and software solutions are being developed to accommodate these new developments. The most prominent of these developments is cloud computing, allowing IT engineers to focus more on application development and less on IT infrastructure. However, blockchain is another important technology trend and should not be underestimated. Off-chain technology will add a high-speed, peer-to-peer network to the blockchain, broadening the technology's applications.
Today, innovation is at the center of business success. It is now common for a company to use Application Programming Interface (API) and IoT platforms to accelerate the development of products and services. At the same time, there is increasing pressure for companies to deliver products and services that are personalized for individual customers. No business can afford to stay still. Continuous improvement is crucial and must be built on constant cycles of user feedback to continue innovating and direct progression towards customers. In terms of IT, this calls for DevOps and DesignOps: a process that will be indispensable for business designs in the future.
NTT DATA, itelligence's parent company, has compiled an in-depth report on the technology trends that will impact business and society in the next three to ten years. To find out more about these trends and others, check out the latest NTT DATA Technology Foresight.
Stay tuned for the third and final article in this series, which will explore the top four information society trends.
I am a LoB director at itelligence Nordic, located in Denmark. I work in both management, product development, consulting and innovation. Since 2004, I have been working in several huge implementation projects as team lead, architect and implementation consultant. Recently I have started focusing on disruptive technologies like artificial intelligence, IoT and big data. I am very enthusiastic about the possibilities that come with these new technologies, and this is what I think about when I wake up in the morning.

Q: Loop through a firebase realtime database I am new to programming.
I have a firebase realtime database. My intent is to get data from the realtime database when a condition is met. That means using a loop statement.
Here is the code:
    function firestore(agent) {
    var firebaseEntity = agent.parameters.firebase;
    return admin.database().ref('questions').once("value").then((snapshot) => {
        var questionList = snapshot.child("Entity").val();
            for (const i in questionList) {
              if (questionList[i].entity == firebaseEntity);
                var response = questionList[i].response;
    agent.add(`${response}`);
}
});
}

I want to return 'response' when the user's input matches the 'question' column:

A: There are a few problems with your code:

*

*There is no Entity node under /questions, so your questionList will always be empty.

*There is not even an Entity node under each individual question, as it's called entity with a lowercase e.

*I recommend using Firebase's built-in forEach function to iterate over the child nodes, instead of for... in.

So with those:
function firestore(agent) {
  var firebaseEntity = agent.parameters.firebase;
  return admin.database().ref('questions').once("value").then((snapshot) => {
    snapshot.forEach((questionSnapshot) => {
      let question = questionSnapshot.val();
      if (question.entity == firebaseEntity) {
        cont response = question.response;
        agent.add(`${response}`);
      }
    });
  });
}
