Seldom pretty and occasionally convincing - Nigel Adkins has done it tough in first year at Hull City
Charting the first year in charge of Nigel Adkins at Hull City
Hull City manager Nigel Adkins instructs his players during the Championship match with Norwich City
The numbers behind Nigel Adkins' first year as Hull City boss do not immediately make for pleasant reading. Saturday's 3-2 win at QPR was only his 12th victory from 46 Championship games and a modest return of 50 points is hardly one to win universal acclaim.
Twenty times Adkins has overseen league defeats and for the bulk of his reign as City's head coach he has led a side occupying one of the bottom six places in the division.
Seldom has it been pretty and results only occasionally convincing, yet judgement of this first term has to go deeper than the cold, hard figures.
Adkins has not done brilliantly since arriving at the KCOM Stadium but he has done well.
Keeping the Tigers afloat last season was by no means a given when he succeeded Leonid Slutksy last December and, for all the troubles of this current campaign, the first anniversary has arrived with things again looking up in the Championship.
Adkins has not been a man for overnight success here in East Yorkshire, not last season or this, but he has shown a habit of getting there in the end.
"I'd like to think we did a really good job last season in making sure the football club was still in the Championship this season," he said when asked about his impending anniversary last week.
Hull City takeover: Failure to complete sale before Christmas could be season defining
"We're still in and around that but obviously the team was dismantled in the summer and it's taken time.
"We can see that there's a team ethos where everyone is committed. There are challenges, there's challenges at every football club, but I want to do well for everyone here at Hull City."
Hull City manager Nigel Adkins instructs his players
The "challenges" that Adkins eludes to are the reason he deserves respect for his work of the last 364 days. Just like Mike Phelan and Slutsky before him, City's current head coach has been unable to count on the support of his employers when it was needed most.
Adkins has kept plugging away without complaint – quite the opposite, in fact – but the reality is that he has been left to work with a squad incapable of delivering his ambitions of returning to the Premier League any time soon. Mid-table would feel like an achievement for the class of 2018-19.
The numbers behind Nigel Adkins' first year in charge of Hull City
The current standing of 19th, you suspect, is where most would have expected City to be this season. Some might have hoped for higher, others will have feared lower, but the damaging summer window ensured this campaign's primary objective would always be survival.
Unlike Steve Bruce, who twice counted on the Allam family's backing to win promotion to the Premier League, Adkins has been left to work with an imbalanced and limited squad.
The departure of 12 senior players in the summer, including Abel Hernandez, Allan McGregor, Michael Dawson, David Meyler and Seb Larsson, decimated the squad Adkins had begun to get a tune out of in the Spring and forced a rebuild on a shoestring.
Nigel Adkins waves to the Hull City fans inside the New York Stadium
Just six signings were sanctioned before the opening month that brought one win in six games and only when Tommy Elphick and Chris Martin were signed on deadline day did City begin to look as though they might yet survive winter. Little wonder it has been heavy going.
"The wage bill is being cut all the time and sustainability has been the word because we've got to make sure the football club is still here for our supporters, especially as the owners are looking to sell the club," said Adkins.
The highs and lows of Nigel Adkins' first year at Hull City
And that underlines the thankless task he has been left to undertake. Improve on last season with a third of the budget and established squad no longer at your disposal. Better managers than Adkins would also have struggled in these straightened times.
That is not to say Adkins has been perfect. Mistakes have been made and critics collected over the last year. Too many drab and lifeless defeats have been witnessed to ensure Adkins has everyone onside.

The mind drifts back to those lamentable away trips to Bolton, Sunderland and Birmingham last season. Or the home defeat to Millwall. This season has served up a few horror shows, too, such as the torturous afternoons spent watching City freeze in front of Blackburn and Reading.
Days such as those, alas, are a given with a squad as limited as City's. The only hope is that they are few and far between and events of the last month would suggest they will happen less frequently between now and May.
Hull City takeover: Fans overwhelmingly running out of belief deal will be done this year
Adkins, remarkably, will become the first of the last four City bosses to bring up a year in the job. Phelan, Marco Silva and Slutsky barely even saw that between them.
Can Adkins expect to be toasting another anniversary next December? There are far too many imponderables to attach any degree of certainty to his long-term future as a proposed takeover hangs in the balance and first he must prove he is worthy of a contract extension beyond the end of this season.
City have not delivered enough under Adkins to call his reign a success but the final weeks of his first year in charge, including a timely leap out of the relegation zone, point tentatively towards better times.

The Glass Family Hosts 2013 Pineywoods Cattle Baron's Gala
Dr. Jeff Glass and his wife, Dessa are bringing the fight against cancer to their backyard, literally. By hosting the American Cancer Society's 2013 Pineywoods Cattle Baron's Gala at their Jack Creek Ranch in Hudson, the Glass family hopes to help raise funds for local cancer patient care and support, as well as for cancer research. Fighting cancer has been a personal struggle for the Glass family for decades as several members have been diagnosed with breast, ovarian, and skin cancers. And most recently, their youngest child was diagnosed and treated for thyroid cancer.
"My mom had breast cancer in the early 1990s which required her to undergo a mastectomy, and then be treated with chemo and radiation therapy, " said Dr. Glass. "My wife, Dessa had melanoma-in-situ on her leg requiring an extensive resection and then she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 12 years ago and needed emergency surgery." Although both women remain vigilant in watching for signs of cancer recurrence, today they are both cancer-free and living a normal, healthy life.
However, recently the Glass family was once again challenged by cancer when their 13-year-old daughter, Julia was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. "It was such a shock to us," explained Dessa. "Just when you think everyone one is healthy, cancer raises its ugly head and has its grip on one of our children." Julia had absolutely no symptoms of the disease but at her yearly checkup her doctor, Dr. Cristina Graves of The Children's Clinic, discovered the tumor in Julia's thyroid. Julia underwent thyroid removal at MD Anderson, Houston. Today, she too is cancer-free and on her way to a full recovery.
The 4th annual Pineywoods Cattle Baron's Gala slogan is "Leavin' Cancer in the Dust" to complement the theme of "Route 66." On Saturday evening, October 12, the Glasses will open up their 280 acres of pasture lands and rolling hills to live entertainment, delicious food, games, live and silent auctions along with vintage cars and trucks lining the entrance. "We love the Route 66 theme!" Dessa enthusiastically exclaims. "Jeff collects and works on cars as a hobby and he used to cruise Route 66 when he was younger. We can't give away too many details about the decorations and layout of the venue, but needless to say people are going to say 'wow!' when they pull in."
Top entertainment billing at the event is 2008 Academy of Country Music award winner for "Best New Male Vocalist", Jack Ingram. Known for his hardcore country music style, the Texas-born songwriter and performer has been on the short list of next generation artists who could fill the boots of Lone Star legends like Willie and Waylon and the boys. Also, performing is American Idol semi-finalist and Lufkin's own, Kendall Beard who will be performing her debut album, "All Around Girl" at the Baron's reception. The opening band is Lone Star Attitude, a singing group who has a unique twist to pop music with Texas style and pride.
Over 200 volunteers have pitched in to get the venue ready, and they have also raised funds in support of this year's event. "We love the Lufkin community and believe in doing our part," Dr. Glass explains. "Because we have experienced cancer firsthand in our lives, we fully understand the concept of fighting for the cause." The Glasses believe that by working together as a community, we can achieve incredible results and shift the fight into high gear thereby, "Leavin' Cancer in the Dust."
Tickets are still available at the American Cancer Society office, at the gate the night of the event, or by calling 936-414-2470. For more information on the Pineywoods Cattle Baron's Gala event go to www.pineywoodscattlebaronsgala.org.

President Trump may promise to stop new HIV infections, but his policies do exactly the opposite. As a gay man, I find his empty rhetoric insulting.
In 2017, Georgia state Rep. Park. Cannon sponsored a bill to require health service providers to require advertising PrEP as a preventative medication. In 2018, Rep. Cannon joined Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms' LGBTQ advisory council where she successfully lobbied for $100,000 in prevention programs. This work is particularly crucial as the Southern U.S. is home to half of all undiagnosed infections.
Sen. Tammy Baldwin secured $14 million in funding for HIV/AIDS prevention programs as part of the Ryan White Act.
Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healy sued health insurers for denying coverage to individuals with a history of taking PrEP, primarily gay men, with immediate results.
In March, Out lawmakers Pennsylvania state Rep. Brian Sims, Florida state Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith, and former New York state Sen. Thomas Duane were honored at the 25th annual AIDSWatch lobbying day; Duane for his lifetime of work and visibility as a positive lawmaker, Sims for his work to mandate the insurers provide equal access to PrEP; and Guillermo-Smith for his role negotiating PrEP benefits for Publix employees.
This National Black HIV Awareness Day, we're reminded HIV remains a grave taboo for politicians and their constituents alike.
People living with HIV are rarely elected, and it's the exclusive domain of white men. The pioneering visibility of figures like Tom Duane and Corey Johnson in New York, and John D'Amico and John Duran in West Hollywood, has yet to be extended to other groups. An out HIV-positive woman, person of color, or transgender candidate has never won a seat.
It's no surprise HIV remains a political third rail – the CDC only admitted that "Undetectable equals Untransmittable" in October 2017! And only about half of HIV-positive people in the U.S. are on PrEP, with gay and bisexual men and people of color at the highest risk; According to the Williams Institute, Black gay and bisexual men are four times more likely than White gay and bisexual men to be tested for HIV every year.
But LGBTQ leaders are working to raise awareness of the progress we've made – that it's no longer a death sentence or hindrance to effective policymaking. For example, today, Pennsylvania state Rep. Brian Sims released video of an HIV test to encourage constituents and supporters to get tested and to do it often.


With another predictably dismal transfer window looking likely, how much can a young man from Coventry do to crowbar a place into this young Swansea City squad? And just how much can Graham Potter reasonably expect from him for the remaining few months of the campaign?
Whether it is the devil's advocate approach of 'this squad isn't that in need of a revamp' or those who are purely resigned to it, January looks to be a bleak, quiet and predictably frustrating month in terms of incomings.
At the time of writing the writing is hardly on the wall for the kind of hair-tearing exodus that Potter had to witness at the start of the season, but perhaps the most likely departure could be that of Wilfried Bony. A move to China could beckon, a move potentially advantageous to all parties, but it may just pave the way for young Courtney Baker-Richardson to stake a claim to a significant bump in game time.
With two goals in two games, a young forward in a league where so much stock should be placed on momentum, a mix of power, persistence, a touch of unpredictability and an undoubted eye for goal may just give the Swans' attacking options something to think about. Not to mention the manager.
The commanding frontman caused about as much excitement as even he would have expected when he was brought to South Wales in 2017.
At non-league Leamington, he showed a lot of promise, roughly about a goal every 3 games and slotted straight in with the successful under-23s side. Perhaps a frankly complete lack of depth saw him added to the senior squad, then that game at Millwall happened – With a name more befitting of a Made in Chelsea character than a Championship hitman, some fans may have wondered if they had seen the first and last of Baker-Richardson within just 4 minutes.
Credit must be given to the man management from Potter and the bounce back mentality of the player, but bounce back he did.
A goal in his next game against QPR saw smiles all round, but what followed was a predictable dip in appearances, with the form of Oli McBurnie, the mercurial tactical unpredictability in the side and the resurgence of Bony.
Now, a fortuitous turn of events has seen the Swans go into the new year with a consistent and unchanged lineup, with Baker-Richardson spearheading the attack and repaying the faith with goals.
His early strike at Villa was unspectacular, yet pleasing to see the desire of a forward latching onto balls. A week later, his finish at Deepdale against Preston ended a mouth-watering move; if you were to try and break into a Championship side as a poacher, you could do a lot worse than Swansea with the creativity around the forwards.
In a team that is unpredictable, Baker-Richardson himself seems realistic but driven. At this stage, there is little evidence to show he will look to push out Messrs McBurnie and Bony, should the Ivorian stay.
Yet an in-form striker gives any team a lift as well as stopping their colleagues from resting on their laurels. The expectations around the club seem to be managed collectively, that is to say, no one will be burning their season tickets if a new striker is not brought in this month. Although, if another young striker has an upsurge in form and shows the hunger for more, few will be complaining.

LinkedIn boasts a community of over 332 million business professionals (as at November 2014).
I'm sure many you have a profile on LinkedIn and are maybe not sure what to do with it? Or how to make LinkedIn work for you. Well you're not alone. I come across many people in this situation who are unsure how to use LinkedIn to their best advantage.
LinkedIn is the top business-to-business social platform for professionals and is a great place to connect and grow your business – but only if you know who you're targeting and the right type of people to prospect.
So here's a quick "cheat-sheet" to help get you started.
Then these answers are just too broad. If you target everyone then how will you be able to differentiate against your competitors? How will you be able to stand out? And more importantly how can everyone be the right fit for your business?
If this is all you can come up with then think about the types of people you really like working with and what types of businesses are a good from a financial perspective? What businesses bring you a good revenue?
What are your target industries?
Are your prospects most likely to be hanging out in certain LinkedIn groups, if so, which ones?
What company size is the right fit for you? 1 man band; Up to 50 employees or corporate with over 500 employees?
Once you have gathered all this information, it might be a good idea to build a quick cheat sheet to refer to.
This information is critical for effective targeting.
Once your prospect is identified, then even if you have a free LinkedIn account, you are still able to save maximum of 3 searches.
1. Click on the magnifying blue search box.
2. This will show you how many contacts are returned in your results.
4. Then save your search, and return to it until you decide to create a new search.
If you think that once you have a LinkedIn profile that people will come running to you, then think again. The only way to get LinkedIn to work for you is to be pro-active and reach out.
There's no one hard and fast rule, or even a one size fits all so it's a case of trying out a few different types of messages to see what you get the most success with.
One Golden Rule is do not use the default "I want to connect with you…" message to connect. This is a statutory message that shows you don't really care much about your prospect. Connection rates using this message are incredibly low.
I use the message: "I noticed that we have a common connection and thought it would be a good opportunity to connect and reach out here".
The most important aspect here is to show that you care about the prospect by mentioning something you may have in common with them, or an interest you share. Check thoroughly their profile to see if you have an alignment with what you're doing or what you may want to do. By taking this approach your connection rate will be around 60-70%.
Then once you've connected – DON'T try and sell to them. Just suggest that you want to have a conversation as there may be some synergy between your two businesses where you can help each other.
The whole purpose of this exercise is to reach out and start new prospective relationships. In order for any relationship to be given the best start they need to be able to trust you, understand the value of your knowledge and know that you have the experience to deliver results.
What is your experience with LinkedIn? I'd love to get your feedback on how it's worked for you.

Thanks Alison, the step by step pointer is very useful.
I definitely agree with you that you need to get out there and message connections, as they will never come to you. I've had a few meetings and appointments with people I've simply messaged after connecting – so it's a very powerful tool!
Thanks for your feedback Haydn. Much appreciated and glad you found it useful.

As we begin switching out our heavy wool coats, furry hats, and cozy mittens for chic spring trenches and short-sleeve cardigans, one outerwear accessory should stay put – at least in my book. The scarf has become a season hopping, all-event appropriate article showing up on the necks of some very fashion forward ladies (myself included, dare I say). Last week, we shared with you which scarves to choose for the warmer months ahead, so this week, we're all about color. A scarf can do wonders to bring out your complexion, make your eyes pop, or create a bold statement for an otherwise boring outfit. It all depends on the hue.
A cream or white colored scarf will automatically brighten your complexion and give an overall freshness to your ensemble. Because the scarf is next to your face, the focal point of people's attention, your face will be instantly highlighted. A light piece like this Love Quotes Italian Linen Scarf in Dove ($85) acts like a little facial halo.
When you need to add a punch of color to your dreary look, a scarf can be the perfect option. It's usually a good idea to stay within the warm tones, as these will also complement your complexion. Sometimes, a green or a bad blue can make you look too pale or almost sickly – which is not flattering on anyone. Also try to stick to solid colors or one with subtle detailing, as patterns tend to compete for the eye's attention, and with an accessory, you want to keep it as simple as possible. This Gap guava scarf ($19.50) is the perfect color and weight for warmer months.
I am a big proponent of the black scarf, even in spring and summer, but it must be worn correctly or else you run the risk of looking either too formal or too goth. First and foremost, the scarf should be very lightweight and almost sheer to contrast its heavy color. Black scarves look their best paired with casual light-colored shirts. Because its color makes the black scarf so dramatic, you have to offset that intensity and that richness with something like a basic white tee, spring tank, or button-down oxford. Paired with jeans, this contrast will make for an edgy, chic, and laid-back cool ensemble. Try this oversized silk version from Intermix ($98).


There is no question that the W3C has been working very hard to become and remain an open and transparent organisation.
Are most people interacting with the W3C in agreement? Hopefully. Will there always be people who believe that the W3C is an evil, closed cabal regardless of what we do? Certainly. Are there people in between? Most likely.
As for the CG name, I fail to find it offensive: "Open and Transparent W3C" community group sounds like a good place to discuss our ongoing commitment to openness and transparency.

Q: Adverb of frequncy, word order question I'm an English teacher of young learners.
I 've got a question about a sentence from an online present simple exercise:
Here is the example:
(she / dance often)?
That's the correct answer given by the author of the exercise:
[ Does she dance often? ]
I thougth the proper word order is
[ Does she often dance?}
My question is:
Is it a problem if OFTEN is at the end of the sentence?
Is it too wierd about grammar exercises for students of A2 level or it's OK?
I've found here the following piece of information, which mainly answers my question but I will be happy if someone else shares their opinion.
P.S. Is it ok if I use "their" instead of "his/ her" in my previous sentence? (I've noticed recently unisex words are very trendy, although not a big fan of that trend.)  Which one sounds better "their" or "his/ her"?
What about /answerS/ and /shareS/ is the S-form of the third person of the proper usage here?

Adverbs as (sometimes, seldom, usually) we can put into the beginning,
end, between pronoun and verb
but the adverb 'always' sounds good only between pronoun and verb, in
other cases, it sounds weird (Always, I do it in the morning AND I do
it in the morning always)

A: The source you've quoted aptly describes common usage of adverbs like often, which are sometimes called adverbs of frequency.
Here's another source, the Cambridge Dictionary, saying basically the same thing, but with a little more detail:

frequency | They usually go in mid position. They sometimes go in front position. They can also go in end position. Always, ever and never do not usually go in front position.

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/grammar/british-grammar/adverbs-and-adverb-phrases-position
They give these two examples with often, one using it in the "mid position" (between the subject and the main verb) and one using it in the "end position" (the last item in the clause):

We often have friends to stay.
We don't see them very often.

According to this Google ngram, "We often go" is much more common than "often we go," which is more common than "we go often."
But don't take the relative infrequency of "we go often" to mean that it sounds strange. It's fairly normal.

Making Things Easier to See!
Q: How can I make things bigger and easier to see on my computer?
The Magnifier Tool. This tool lets you enlarge all or part of your computer screen.
STEP 1: To access the magnifier tool, simply click the start menu.
Type the word magnifier into the search box.
STEP 2: Go to the top of the start menu (this is called the "jump list") and click on "Magnifier". It will be highlighted in a blue bar for you.
You can avoid having to do these steps each time by "pinning" the magnifier tool to your taskbar (the bar across the very bottom of your computer screen) or the Start Menu.
I recommend the Taskbar for easier use.
To "Pin" this tool, simply right-click the highlighted magnifier bar.
Choose "Pin to taskbar" or "Pin to start menu".
Q: How do I turn the magnifier off?
A: To turn off the magnifer, Simply press the "windows" and "ESC" key together.
However, if you prefer to keep using the magnifier tool, but want to adjust the screen size, simply click the >> arrowed section in the middle of the magnifying glass icon.
Pressing the ">>" will bring up the - and + adjustment options. Press the minus button to return the screen to it's normal size, and press the plus button to enlarge again. You can continue to press the plus button to enlarge even further.
Screen Resolution. You can permanently enlarge your entire computer's viewing area by performing the following steps. NOTE: You can easily change back if you want.
Right-click on the desktop area of your computer. A pop-up window will appear. From the list of options, choose "Screen Resolution".
In the pop-up window, click on "Make text and other items larger or smaller".
From here, you can choose "Larger-150%". You can also make text larger by licking to the bottom right on the line: "Set custom text size (DPI)"

## Abstract
The app has two main portals, one for hospitals and one for regular users. The hospital portal gives doctors access to patient's health records, which are stored in a private, decentralized system. Each patient has a unique ID with all their details and records. The hospital can update reports after treatment and checkups. The decentralized system allows for medical records to be accessed by hospitals worldwide with permission from the patient. In emergency situations, doctors can scan the patient's face or use their fingerprints to access records. The app also has a system for emergencies where you can scan a victim's face or use their fingerprint to get their information and inform their family or relatives.
## Brief Idea
Our App has two main portals, One is for the hospitals (Where only verified hospitals and doctors can get access) and the next portal is for the Common People. In the hospital portal, The doctors can access the entire health records of the patients which are securely stored in our private decentralized system. Also, each and every patient will get a unique ID that contains all the details and health records of the patients. Also, the hospital can update all the medical reports after the treatment and checkup of the patient. As this system is decentralized the medical records of the patient can be analyzed and accessed by any hospital worldwide with permission from the patient to provide treatments to them. In the case of emergency situations where the doctors cannot get the User ID from the patients, they can just scan the face of the patient or can use the fingerprint of the patient to access his health records with the help of our Machine Learning and Computer Vision Model. As all the records are stored in a Private Decentralized System it will be very secure where no one can access the medical records of any patients.
In the User Portal, Users can add themselves to the app and they can update and maintain their medical records more securely with the help of the decentralized system. To add the medical records, it is not necessary to enter all the details in our systems. With the click of a button, users can add their medical records to the decentralized system with the help of our Computer Vision AI Model which by scanning the medical records it will automatically identify and manage the records intelligently. And by analyzing these medical records our app will automatically schedule the check-up timings, medications timings, and food recommendations in our app which the users should follow to take care of their health.
We also have an emergency system, during any emergency system we can just open our app and select the emergency open and by scanning the victim's face or using their fingerprints we can get the details of the victim who met with the accident and we can easily inform his family/relatives regarding the issue.

International & Foreign Policy
What Is Our Greatest Threat? How Should We Respond?
Scroll down for the Keeping America Safe issue guide and other related materials.
Today's headlines can be daunting: A lone terrorist attacks civilians, including American tourists, in cities around the globe; Russia flexes its military muscles and interferes in elections; and North Korea has assembled an arsenal of missiles capable of striking the continental United States.
Americans have rarely faced such a variety of threats. China has become an economic powerhouse, its competition threatening American prosperity, its foreign aid and influence rivaling our own. Climate change and infectious diseases that can spread from an isolated village to any major city remind us that the natural world also poses dangers that affect every country on earth. A major conflict in the Middle East could have severe implications for the US and global economy.
No wonder Americans are divided over how to keep our country safe in today's dangerous and increasingly complex world.
As we look into the future, what are our biggest threats, and how should we invest our money, our people, and our reputation to ward them off?
This issue guide offers a framework for deliberating over the priorities that should inform our nation's role on the world's stage. It presents three different options for moving forward—each based on a different way of looking at our greatest threats and each involving a different set of prescriptions for what should be done. Most important, each option has significant downsides and drawbacks. Each of these will need to be considered if we are to decide how best to use our economic, military, and diplomatic resources.
Option 1: Make America's Needs Our Top Priority
This option says the United States has focused too much on policing and protecting the world and not enough on shoring up its own prosperity and taking care of its own people. It is time to put our country's needs first. The United States spends billions on defense and foreign aid while, at home, bridges and highways are crumbling, students face mountains of debt, and people go bankrupt trying to pay their medical bills. It is time to prioritize our own country's needs.
Option 2: Assert US Power
This option says that the United States cannot afford to ignore what's happening outside our borders—we need to remain the world's strongest power. Russia and China are flexing their military and economic muscles. North Korea has tested missiles and nuclear weapons. Americans fear foreign terrorist attacks both at home and abroad. Even our robust economy is threatened by unfair trade practices, and our democracy is put at risk by outside election meddling. Investing in being the world's dominant power helps ensure stability in a dangerous world—and protects our freedom and prosperity by fighting threats at their source rather than on our shores.
Option 3: Work with Others to Solve Global Problems
Given the varied and complex dangers we face today, this option says that our biggest threat is assuming that the United States can go it alone—whether by isolating ourselves or acting unilaterally. Today's global challenges include migration, refugees, cyberterrorism, and more. Deadly new infectious diseases and the effects of climate change remind us that the natural world poses its own threats that don't respect borders. By emphasizing diplomacy and building alliances, we can better solve complex crises and head off future ones. In the long run, promoting democracy and human rights makes the world both safer and more prosperous.

I am not the target market for any camera bag manufacturer. I am female, short, with an injured shoulder, young(ish), into taking photographs that involve long lenses and I want to carry a laptop with me at all times. Oh yes - and it would be great if I could also convert the bag to use for university and other day-to-day use so that I don't have to swap out my 'handbag clutter' every time I leave the house.
Crumpler produce variations of this bag in three different sizes and this version is the largest. The medium size is designed to fit a tablet instead of a laptop and was unfortunately just a fraction too small for my little MacBook Air and A4 notepads. This bag though - it's cavernous. It happily holds my Canon 100-400mm nose down while still attached to a DSLR so that it's ready to go when I'm out shooting. It also comfortably carries several other lenses and even a spare body because Crumpler provide a set of Velcro inserts to allow you to customse the interior.
The laptop pocket is well padded - too often manufacturers will pad the camera chamber well but leave the laptop pocket relatively unprotected. But this would see me through long commutes with ease and without any damage to my gear. When so many photographers now carry around a laptop as standard, it is good to see manufacturers picking up on this fact and providing a way to carry around both camera and laptop in other than a rucksack. There's even a mesh pocket in the top flap of the bag for carrying cables, a nice touch that means you don't have to try to fit them into a pocket that contains widgets that you might need to get to more frequently. Another interesting feature is the set of mesh pockets sized for compact flash cards, meaning that they're easy to grab when you need to make a quick change. I thought I wouldn't use the memory card pockets, but it turns out that they're more useful than I ever thought they would be!

VIKESH KAPOOR (DEBUT ALBUM RELEASE SHOW)
Portland Playhouse
There are no active dates for this event.
We'll have a handful of tickets at the door for $10/each. CASH ONLY! Please plan to arrive on time as this is a seated show in a theater. Doors at 730pm, Show at 8pm. Thanks!
Vikesh Kapoor celebrates the release of his debut album "The Ballad Of Willy Robbins" at the Portland Playhouse, Portland OR. With special guests The Deslondes and Los Dos Amigos.
Show: 8pm
This is a seated show, so please plan to arrive on time.
Following a spur-of-the-moment cross-country trip with a pair of fiery European girls, Vikesh Kapoor left school for a brief yet inspiring stint as a mason's apprentice. The America he had previously known resided narrowly between his childhood home in rural Pennsylvania and the New England university he left home for. Alongside his parents' own immigrant struggles, these experiences quickly witnessed Kapoor to the scope of the American dream.
A few years later, Kapoor performed at Howard Zinn's memorial service in Boston, in front of Zinn's family and colleagues (including Noam Chomsky). Roused by Zinn's lifelong battle against class/race injustice, Kapoor spent the next two years in Portland, Oregon working on his full-length debut record. The Ballad Of Willy Robbins, a concept album loosely based on a newspaper article, chronicles the brutal but hopeful story of a working class man who slowly loses everything: ambitions, health, family and shelter. It's a worker's tale, less specific to the blue-collar life as it is about anyone struggling to make something of themselves.
The Ballad Of Willy Robbins, out October 15th via Mama Bird Recording Co., was co-produced by Adam Selzer (M. Ward) and features Nate Query (Decemberists, Black Prairie), Jeff Ratner (Langhorne Slim) and Birger Olsen (Denver).

The Deslondes (formerly Tumbleweeds) are a New Orleans-based country-soul, R&B, folk and gospel-influenced band. In their writing and performing, they combine elements of early Stax, Sun and Atlantic records with the influence of a more raw, stripped-down sound gleaned off field recordings from Alan Lomax and Mississippi Records catalogue.

Cold where you are? Snowed in? Dreaming of feeling the sun on your face and going out for a skate? This video will provide some relief for those in the icy grip of winter – if you're in warmer climes, make the most of it and get out there!
On the 13th November about 50 longboarders skated down the coast of San Diego to raise money and awarness for the Semper Fi Fund. The 22mile route took them through some sweet coastal scenery and some awesome downhills.
The event, hosted by Honey Skateboards' rider Derek Smith, raised enough money to provide support to two, perhaps three marines. Nice work guys! More information about the event can be found here.
I didn't know there were sites like this. I come from a street skating (tricks) background so I didn't know about distance skateboarding.
I'm gonna have fun looking around this site, thanks for setting this up.

It usually takes a certain amount of invested cash to maintain sales. There must be an investment in accounts receivable and inventory, against which accounts payable are offset. Thus, there is typically a ratio of working capital to sales that remains relatively constant in a business, even as sales levels change.
This relationship can be measured with the sales to working capital ratio, which should be reported on a trend line to more easily spot spikes or dips. A spike in the ratio could be caused by a decision to grant more credit to customers in order to encourage more sales, while a dip could signal the reverse. A spike might also be triggered by a decision to keep more inventory on hand in order to more easily fulfill customer orders. Such a trend line is an excellent feedback mechanism for showing management the results of its decisions related to working capital.
Management should be cognizant of the problems that can arise if it attempts to alter the outcome of this ratio. For example, tightening credit reduces sales, shrinking inventory may also reduce sales, and lengthening payment terms to suppliers can lead to strained relations with them.
The table includes a quarterly ratio calculation that is based on annualized sales. The table reveals that Milford achieved its goal of reducing inventory, but at the cost of a significant sales reduction, probably caused by customers turning to competitors who offered a larger selection of inventory.

I know a lot of people get upset when you discuss the merits of AA. But that isn't what this is all about. It's really about trying to find a new way to live. And that has been the hardest part for me. When most of the time your brain tells you and your body tells you that you just don't want to. And the only time you kind of did is when you drank. For me, there is no pill or therapy that changes that. I live in a very isolated world. I am no longer invited anywhere either because there will be alcohol or because I have said no too many times in the last 5 and half years. If I do happen to go to something I feel the urge to flee within 15 minutes. All the noise and lights are overwhelming. I remember times that were good, laughing and talking with my bestfriend all night. Doing stupid stuff that was funny not hurting anyone. Feeling like I belonged. I can't do that now no matter how hard I try. You are fighting a war with yourself until a bout of mania comes. And even that isn't fun. Spending too much money, talking too loud and fast thinking you know it all. Then crashing into a pile on the floor crying, getting yelled at because you're crying again. It's a never ending circle. And I know there are people out there that are worse off than me ( I am told this often) but when it is in your brain like a parasite you don't see it. I don't crave the alcohol I crave the dive bar atmosphere where all us misfits weren't misfits for a little while. I had to pretend to be someone else there, talking politics, art, animals, world events wasn't going to cut it. So I guess even then I had to pretend like I do now when people ask me if I'm "ok". Because honestly I'm not. I'm tired of taking all these pills everyday, taking care of my dad only to be ignored or yelled at, tired of knowing I have twin that really doesn't care about me as much as I do her. Most of all I am tired with grief. I am physically ill and my dad wonders why I was as white as the snow this morning. I told him 10 times he didn't listen. Not many people ever did. When I drank they had to because I was bigger then and a reputation of sometimes being not so nice. When sober I couldn't say boo to an ant. I'll keep trying because I want to travel, see my animals and watch my nephews grow a little more. That's all I can do right now.
I try to read about other people like me. I fit into some of the categories. Spending sprees, promiscuity, impulsive behavior, feelings of guilt and shame, worthlessness. The last one is a biggie for me. Also the feeling of not belonging. When I was younger, as young as 12, at my own birthday parties I felt like an outsider. I was watching a movie of someone else's life. I would look in windows of stores and see happy couples or friends shopping together. I would think "Why can't I be like them?" I never felt good enough and tried everything to get that feeling. Make up, hair products, expensive salons, clothes, expensive perfume, breast reduction, you name it. And went into bankruptcy doing it. I would see people I knew getting married and starting families while I was still partying to fill the ache in my chest. I feel grief like no other pain on earth. And it never goes away. Sometimes in a depressive state it's like me entire body is made up of exposed nerves. I have had depressive episodes that lasted more than a year. Now I seam to be in mixed states. Having doctors tell me there isn't anything left for me to try except more shock therapy. I just can't do it. Once was horrific enough. Focusing on and replaying traumatic events is killing. I can't watch my mother die over and over. But I do. Meds help a little. They help me stay out of bed, help my stutter and alleviate some of the crying. But it isn't living. Family and friends limit the amount of time they talk to me. I don't blame them. So I find myself alone most of the time. You don't know what it's like to go without human contact. Just a hug or to hold my hand. I have promised not to hurt myself. I won't, only because I am scared about what happens when you die. If there was a guarantee I would be with my mom I would go in a heartbeat. But I still have things I want to do. So I keep trying.
I am an Alcoholic. If I say it enough times maybe people will get it. Yes I am also Bipolar. Being Bipolar does play a part in my alcoholism but it is not the cause of it. There are many factors in play when it comes to my drinking. Both of my parents are alcoholics. My parents quit drinking when I was about 8. My mother passed away 6 years ago and she was still sober. Alcoholism is on both sides of my family. There is also mental health issues on my mother's side and my father has always suffered from anxiety and is not a social person. I have had severe anxiety for as long as I can remember. I would be dry heaving before I had to go to school every morning. When the Bipolar manifested at around 14 it became worse. Depression was added. So was the feeling of being worthless, unwanted, ashamed, ugly, stupid, and not belonging. Alcohol made those feelings go away if only for a little while. Even now after being sober for 5 years I could drink. Not because I crave alcohol but to take the pain away. No medication or therapy has been able to do what alcohol did. The problem is I thought I was only hurting myself. The truth was I was hurting everyone around me. My parents had set aside money to bury me. Everytime the phone rang at night they got scared. My sister was too. I would end up in the hospital or jail and they would get a phone call. I was selfish in my disease. At one point my mom was fighting lung cancer and I was putting added stress on her. I hope she forgave me. I never got the chance to ask for her forgiveness.


The advancements in skin care and maintenance today are very impressive. Scars and pimples are no longer something that people have to put up with. It's the same thing with other skin problems like warts. While it's not technically a skin problem, many people feel the same way toward moles. That is why it is now practiced largely.
What are moles and why do they exist? Basically, these moles are small, often dark, pigmented skin lesions, and their medical name is nevi. They all don't look the same because they vary in colors, sizes and shapes. Congenital moles appear directly from birth, while some people's they appear later in life. These are referred to as acquired moles. They are common and it's not strange to have them appear; however, there are people who are more prone to them than others. The number of it in a person largely depends on physiology. You would probably even notice how fair-skinned people have more of them.
Heredity can also be blamed for it. My cousin has quite a number of it all over her body and no one was surprised, considering how her mother also had a substantial amount of them since she was young and she never really bothered to consider undergoing any form of removal methods for them. These are referred to as atypical or dysplastic moles. The appearance of atypical or dysplastic on the skin can also be blamed on the skin being exposed too long to the sun.
There isn't a particular body part where moles exclusively appear in. They sometimes appear in the most unexpected of places and in varying concentrations. There aren't any of it on my cousin's face. But the concentration of moles is around her neck and upper chest area. Now she is contemplating going through some mole removal procedures so she can have a mole-free neck and upper chest.
What is the reason behind people looking to remove their moles? Moles are, after all, anomalies or irregularities on the skin. If your moles look like that of Cindy Crawford's beauty mark then, by all means, let the moles stay. But we are not all Cindy Crawford or other supermodels with beauty marks. Lesser mortals -that's us -are unlucky enough to be saddled with moles that are far from flattering. We would have to get rid of them.
Maintaining one's looks is not the sole reason for getting rid of moles. Some moles actually pose the risk of melanoma or skin cancer. As far as skin diseases go, it is the deadliest type. They might start out innocently enough, but there are some moles that, over time, gradually develop into something cancerous. This is especially feared by those who have many moles all over the body.
Aside from observing the moles, you should also have a doctor diagnose whether your moles are cancerous or not. If the diagnosis says the moles are dangerous, have it removed immediately using any of the mole removal methods available. There are many removal creams or lotions that are tried and tested to be safe and effective, or you could undergo surgery. The type of mole removal method you will use will ultimately depend on the type (and the accompanying dangers) of moles that you have.

How to See Which Facebook Advertisers Have Your Info | Social Media
By Prosyscom Tech Last updated Nov 5, 2018
If you use Facebook (or even if you don't) you probably know that advertisers have some information about you. Targeted ads are Facebook's special juice, and scroll down your timeline will likely prove that the ads you're seeing are anything but random. What you may not realize; however, is that you can also see within Facebook which advertisers have your name on their list.
You'll find the list in your ad settings. Get there by logging into Facebook on the web and then clicking the arrow at the top right side of the bag. From there, select Settings from the drop-down menu. That will launch the Settings menu.
On the left side of the page you'll see a column, close to the bottom will be "Ads." Click on that to bring up the Ad Preferences menu. Select "Advertisers You've Interacted With" and then select "Who have added their contact list to Facebook" to see the advertisers that are specifically targeting you.
From Facebook: "These advertisers are running ads using a contact list they uploaded that includes your contact info. This info was collected by the advertiser, typically after you shared your email address with them or another business they've partnered with."
Most of my targeted ads are for car dealerships and real-estate agents. The joke's on them, because I live in San Francisco and am a writer for a living. I won't be affording either a house or a car anytime soon.
You can't really do much about these guys targeting you (although this is a good lesson in having "Garbage" email addresses to pass out to people who might try to spam you like this. The section should; however, offer a bit of insight into why you're seeing what you are.
Also Read: The 10 biggest lies we tell each other on Instagram
While you're in the ad menu, now might be a good time to also tweak your ad preferences. The Ad Settings menu lets you customize those. I don't allow Facebook to show people I've liked a page in an ad, I also don't allow it to show me ads based on my Facebook activity.
You do what works for you, but it's always a good idea to be aware of what your settings are.

Los Angeles in shock, grief and acceptance over Jackson's
by Simone Kussatz
When the news came out that Michael Jackson (50) had died on Thursday June 25th, 2009 in Los Angeles, a Hispanic sales clerk in a grocery store in Culver City shed tears. "It's so sad," she said. "He was just one year younger than me, "one of her customers replied. About an hour after Jackson's death was confirmed, news reporters from Eyewitness News, Fox and NBC among others were waiting for details from the press conference in front of the Medical Plaza at UCLA. Meanwhile, throngs of people were standing next to them in a daze, some were singing Michael Jackson songs, others were pushing themselves into the spotlight of the media. Not even the summer heat could prevent people, mostly tourists, from lining up on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to see the side walk "star" of Michael Jackson, to put down flowers and to speak a few words into surrounding cameras. A Jackson impersonator gave his usual moonwalk performance. This was not only filmed from the obvious cameras in front of the Chinese Theater, but also from a secret place on top of the Roosevelt Hotel across the street. Five days after the legend of pop music died, police officers are still guarding Jackson's former mansion, which is blocked off with police tape, located, just a bit off Sunset Boulevard, close to UCLA Medical Center in
Westwood. Paparazzi and reporters are still eagerly waiting to see relatives and others getting in and out of Jackson's house. Unless VIP, people can only get to a memorial site on the corner of Carolwood and Sunset, where his fans left flowers, cards and candles for their beloved idol.
Yet is this collective grief appropriate, and did Jackson's death deserve so much media attention?
Opinions diverted. Stefanie Sneed, a UCLA undergraduate student of Psychobiology and African American Studies thought that the media attention about Jackson was well deserved. "He was an icon, positive and theatrical," she said. "Being a black person, I felt empowered by him, but I feel angry that the media is looking for the negative things in his life." Javier Arteaga, a UCLA undergraduate student of Psychology, however, felt different about this. Arteaga was only a block away from the hospital on his way towards his friend's apartment, when he received a text message, saying "they just brought in Michael Jackson in an ambulance." Instead of staying with a crowd in front of the Medical Plaza that had built up from 10 to 20 to a 100, Arteaga hurried home to gather information via CNN. "I feel sad about Michael Jackson's death, especially since he died at a young age, but I also feel that the media didn't respect his family's privacy. I was upset how people were bragging as to who was the first to set the traffic cone on the entrance to the hospital. It was unimportant. I feel Michael Jackson deserved more respect than this." Lindsay Guzman, a hairstylist from Colorado who is currently visiting L.A. was not surprised about Jackson's death "I thought he was actually sick for a while, but when he died, they had to say something."
From the perspective of the people working for UCLA Medical Center, Jackson's death seemed not so much a matter of grief as it was a matter of inconvenience in their daily lives. For one thing, their integrity was tested. A nurse at the Ronald Reagan Medical Center said "I can't give you any information. Journalists are escorted out, if they're found here." Another nurse claimed it was too hard for her to get into the hospital. "For me, every patient is a VIP," she said. A staff at Patient Services pointed out that employees of UCLA Medical Plaza are not allowed to give out any information about Jackson's death, other than referring to Media Relations at 924 Westwood Plaza, a department that seems overwhelmed by the requests of reporters.
People who have been working in the Hollywood industry for a long time and achieved considerable success, stressed Michael Jackson's great talent, and put the incidence in the context of current politics. Film-maker Henry Jaglom, known for "Hollywood Dreams" a film about a fame-obsessed person who becomes a tragic victim in a fame obsessed culture, said "Like everyone in Hollywood I was stunned by the news, but then with the flood of old videos on Television and the Internet I was grateful to be reminded how truly extraordinary he was, how profoundly talented a dancer, as no less an authority than Fred Astaire pointed out, how significant and influential an artist in developing a generation of children who would grow up so free of race prejudice as to vote Obama in as president 25 years later. Many of us had forgotten all that in recent years after being endlessly told about his eccentricities, his weirdness, his countless cosmetic surgeries and all the distorted sex stories, according to everyone I know who knew him well he was the sweetest creature who ever lived, good-hearted and naive to a fault, never having had a childhood so being obsessed with being with children and staying a child forever." Composer, William Goldstein, who had scored all the episodes of NBC's FAME and was brought under contract to Motown, as Michael Jackson, said "His death was tragic. He was a brilliant artist, very gifted, but a troubled soul. Yet, there seems to be a budding revolution in Iran and it was wiped out by the media." Therefore, Michael Jackson's death has been perceived as a great loss by most Americans. The media coverage about his death will still go on to a great extent, especially with the upcoming funeral, for which reporters have already driven up North to Jackson's Neverland Ranch, according to an ABC news reporter.
Written by Simone Kussatz. Freelance journalist. Los Angeles.
Yesterday, Friday July 3, 2009, African American pianist Larry Nash of the Larry Nash and The Jazz Symphonics, played a tribute to Michael Jackson during the free Friday Night Jazz Concerts at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Nash gave a beautiful and sensitive performance of Jackson's "She's out of my mind." The concert was held outdoors underneath palm trees and a gradual sinking sun in front of LACMA's permanent outdoor installation of a large number of Los Angeles street lights, facing Wilshire Boulevard.

ART REVIEW - Sebastio Salgado
Sebastião Salgado's "Africa"
Peter Fettermann Gallery, Santa Monica Bergamot Station
The interplay between pristine beauty and human suffering in the latest gallery exhibit of Brazilian humanitarian photographer Sebastião Salgado encourages us to take action. One feels moved by the compelling sights of white cattle herded together by Dinka tribesmen, zebras lined up at a river, faces of refugees and victims suffering from diseases and famine and the children of Africa. These stunningly beautiful black and white silver gelatin prints are a small selection of Salgado's work photographed over the past four decades.
In a 24x 20" photograph, displayed in the first exhibit room on the left wall in the Fettermann Gallery, Salgado shows us an image of a woman blinded by sandstorms with a chronic eye infection who is waiting for food distribution. The light falls mainly on the woman's face on her blind and infected eye on her left. Her other eye is covered by a dark veil. This particular angle suggests that one of her eyes is invisible to us as life is invisible to her through her blindness. The strong contrast in the picture derives from the white areas on the woman's face, neck and arms caused by the light and the dark areas caused by her black veil that merges with the dark background, building one black unity. Standing in front of the image one feels her sorrows and pain. It literally invites us to learn more about Mali, a country that belongs to the 25 poorest in the world and had just suffered its second episode of severe drought, when the picture was taken in 1985. In its overall sensibility the photograph is similar to some of the etchings of women by German Expressionist artist Käthe Kollwitz. Therefore, the real strength of Salgado's photographs is that they show a deep care and understanding of the societies he presents to us.

London/China - Beijing Olympics
http://www.common-talk.com/Common_Talk_Material/CommonTalk/08-9-2/opinions.htm
Olympic baton passed to LondonArticle and photo by Simone Kussatz Translated by Xu Ming
Thousands of people gathered around Trafalgar Square on August 24, 2008 to watch the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. Inclement weather that varied between heavy rain and bright sunshine could not dampen the spirit of viewers seated around the giant screen in the center of the square.
The crowd was a colorful and enthusiastic mix of people from all over the world, including some of London's 60,000 Chinese residents.
Mr. Miao from Shenyang city in Liaoning province has been living in London with his wife and daughter for the past four years and said: "I feel better now. For a century, we were waiting for the Olympics to come to China. Now it has finally happened." Chinese fans were delighted that the country garnered 51 gold medals. However, Mr. Miao conceded that Chinese athletes had an advantage over competitors from other nations: "They don't have as much of a support system." A female student from Hong Kong who studies at the University of Southampton, said: "The Beijing Olympics were well organized and I feel proud of my motherland." A Beijing expatriate was particularly pleased about London's effort to bring the Beijing Olympics to Trafalgar Square: "I'm glad I could see everything here and celebrate with all these fans."
The crowds roared when the screen showed Beijing mayor Guo Jinlong at the side of IOC president Jacques Rogge handing over the Olympic flag to his London counterpart Boris Johnson. Perhaps the biggest applause came when soccer superstar David Beckham kicked a soccer ball from atop a red London double-decker bus.
伦敦庆祝北京奥运会闭幕2008年8月24晚,成千上万的人们挤在特拉法尔加广场观看北京奥运会的闭幕式。尽管天气状况很不稳定,一会儿大雨倾盆一会儿阳光明媚,还时不时下着小雨,但也没挡住人们坐在为这次奥运会特设的广场大屏幕前观看闭幕式。这些来自世界各地的人都热情洋溢,其中有一些是华人,代表着居住在伦敦的六万中华儿女。他们当中有许多人看到精彩处不禁欢呼雀跃。苗先生来自中国辽宁省沈阳市,与妻女在伦敦已经生活四年了。他说:"现在感觉好多了,我们等奥运会来中国等了一百年了,现在它终于来了。"这些华人为自己国家能获得51枚金牌兴奋不已。不过,苗先生也承认,比起远道而来的外国运动员,中国运动员更有优势。"相比而言,他们没有那么强大的后方支持",苗先生说。一名来自香港在南安普顿大学求学的女生说:"北京奥运会组织得非常到位,他们为此付出了很大努力。我为我的祖国感到自豪。"一个来自北京的华人表示,伦敦把北京奥运会搬到特拉法尔加广场让人尤其感到欣慰。"在这里什么都能看到,而且还能跟这么多人一起庆祝,真让我开心极了。"当大屏幕上显示站在国际奥委会主席罗格一侧的北京市市长郭金龙把奥运会会旗交给伦敦市市长鲍里斯·约翰逊的时候,全场欢呼。当足球巨星贝克汉姆从红色的伦敦双层巴士车顶上把一只足球踢下去的时候,欢呼声达到了高潮。

Q: All occurrences of a regex expression in string I have a string for example std::string s = " Hello as=-(Hello) asd#Hello" and a regex std::regex r(".*Hello.*")
How can I find out all the matches?
I Tried an iterator
for(std::sregex_iterator i = std::sregex_iterator(s.begin(), s.end(), r);
                            i != std::sregex_iterator();
                            ++i )
    {
        std::smatch m = *i;
        std::cout << m.str() << " at position " << m.position() << '\n';
    }

But it only shows one match.

The trendy notion among some of the world's best and brightest: The robots are taking over. Tesla's TSLA, +2.83% Elon Musk is worried about it. So is Microsoft's MSFT, +0.73% Bill Gates. And professor Stephen Hawking, too.
Time to add another member to the squad.
Those unsettling words are from a former Facebook FB, +0.61% executive. He talked about the bleak future with BBC Two's "Secrets of Silicon Valley," which aired Sunday night in Great Britain.
This from a guy who once enjoyed the spoils of Silicon Valley success, including selling his online ad company to Twitter TWTR, +0.68% , linking up with Facebook, and writing a best-selling book. But he began seeing a grim future in 2015, one that made him take action.
His fears led him to leave his Bay Area home and live in the woods north of Seattle. "If the world really does end, there aren't going to be many places to run," he added.
Martinez pointed out during the interview that there are enough guns for every man, woman and child in this country, and they're mostly in the hands of those about to feel the most impact.
Martinez is specifically worried about how the combination of automation and artificial intelligence will develop faster than anybody is ready for.
"Every time I meet someone from outside Silicon Valley – a normy – I can think of 10 companies that are working madly to put that person out of a job," he said.

Overband magnets are designed for use over a moving bed of material from which iron is to be removed. Iron is a common material in demolition and construction waste. The magnet is there for one of the most frequently used separators in a sorting line or any sorting process for construction and demolition waste. Overband magnets are box-shaped units containing blocks of permanent magnet material, arranged to produce a powerful magnetic field. This magnetic field attracts the iron from the passing waste stream and removes it.
The inclined sorting machine is designed to sort almost any combination of recyclable materials automatically. When processing mixed construction and demolition waste, the machine separates the waste into a pure mineral fraction and a high calorific value fraction consisting of plastics, paper and wood.

Q: UBUNTU 11.10 will not boot after succesfully installed on 8GB usb 3.0 pendrive UBUNTU 11.10 on 8GB USB 3.0 pendrive.
Drive Partitioned using gparted.
4GB BASE 3GB Home 600MB swap
Installation Ok. Restart blinking cursor.
Installed another distro on another USB 3.0 stick.
It boots OK.
--------------- DEBUG --------------------------------------
Boot Other distro and check:
I compare boot file with another linux.
grub of ubuntu is 1.4mb contend is different.
Taken photo with mobile camera but can not add here.
Files has note(music) sign on it.
Downloaded 11.10 desktop and Installed. Same result.
Will download 12.x when ready and try.
Ready to try any suggestion.

A: If i were you, I would have downloaded the 12.04 LTS Non-PAE core, which will just work almost on any configuration.
After installation, you will get a terminal CLI, then you'll have all the possible option to get a complete desktop environment.
to install Ubuntu desktop
sudo apt-get update && dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get -y install ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get check
sudo reboot

Please note that if you hav RAM more than 4 GB, then non-PAE version is "NOT SUGGESTED" to use.

A: I had to add an option nolapic to boot ubuntu on my asus laptop.  Not sure if that's going to solve your problem, though.
In order to add that option, hit F6 during the boot time (not sure exact timing).  It will bring up a list of extra boot options, choose nolapic then follow instruction to continue boot.
If this works, you can edit /etc/default/grub to add this option to boot, and run sudo update-grub (or something similar).
Hope this helps.  Good luck.

A: the best suggestion i can give you is, if you're willing , maybe try using ubuntu 12.04 beta which direct link or torrents for the iso's can be found here which may fix your issue. or i would try the other answers or wait for the official release (april 28 i believe)

A: This not an answer -- consider as my opinion :)
I was wondering why are you trying to install ubuntu in usb by creating separate partitions etc? It is much simple to create a live usb for booting. All your changes will be preserved , can boot to any other system also.

If grub menu coming for live mode and if you have dual graphics card, choose "noapic" or "nolapic" after hitting F6 in GRUB menu.

Apart from that GRUB will be different on different distro, it has nothing to do with the problem.
