Red Sox need Munoz to remain hot against Blue Jays
Yairo Munoz is off to a fast start with the Boston Red Sox with hits in each of his first four games, including a 6-for-7 performance in a doubleheader split with the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday.
The Red Sox hope Munoz can keep the hot streak going Saturday night when the teams meet in the fourth game of the five-game series at Boston.
The Red Sox (13-27) will try to draw even in the series on Saturday and set up a rubber match on Sunday. The Blue Jays (21-17) won the first two games of the series.
Called up Aug. 31 from Boston's alternate training site, Munoz is batting .533 (8-for-15) with three doubles and one home run.
The St. Louis Cardinals castoff, who played both corner outfield positions Friday, went 3-for-3 with a home run, a double and three RBIs in Toronto's 8-7 victory in the first game and was 3-for-4 with a double in Boston's 3-2 win in the second game.
"He swings the bat and that's what they had told us in the alternate site, that he was swinging the bat better than anybody and that's what we're seeing," Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke said. "That's what I read all the time about him, about the good at-bats, so it would be a big boost if we can get somebody swinging it really hot and then get the other guys going."
The Red Sox need a boost wherever they can find it. Their second-game win Friday ended a five-game losing streak while stopping Toronto's three-game winning string.
Each game in the doubleheader was seven innings. Toronto was the home team in the second game because it was a makeup game for a postponement when the Red Sox visited the Blue Jays at their temporary home at Buffalo.
The Red Sox are scheduled to start right-hander Ryan Weber (0-2, 5.79 ERA) Saturday. He allowed two runs in three innings in a start against Toronto Aug. 7 at Boston. In six career games (three starts) against Toronto, he is 1-0 with a 6.35 ERA. Toronto had not named a starter.
The Blue Jays are on a stretch of 28 games in 27 days. "The (doubleheaders) are not easy because of the grinding of playing all these games with no days off," Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said. "I approach it like every other one — worry about the first (game) before you worry about the second one."
The Blue Jays have been making things difficult for themselves with mistakes on the bases and in the field.
Montoyo met the position players Friday. His message was: "Be aggressive, just be smart. Sometimes you don't want to make mistakes and now you stop being aggressive because you're afraid to get thrown out. Stay aggressive. But be smart."
A fielding mistake turned out to be the decisive run in the second game Friday. Catcher Reese McGuire made a throwing error on a pickoff attempt at second base with the bases loaded in the fifth inning, allowing Boston's third run of the game.
"That was just not a good throw, to throw to second with a man on third base," Montoyo said. "That was the play of the game."

20 Watt Tombstone release cover of "Midnight Train to Memphis"
January 19, 2021 NextMosh StaffNew Music, Press Release
Share the post "20 Watt Tombstone release cover of "Midnight Train to Memphis""
Death blues duo 20 Watt Tombstone have released their cover of "Midnight Train To Memphis" by Chris Stapleton. The track is from the band's upcoming release 'The Year of the Jackalope' which will be released this Friday.
Listen: [LINK – embedded below]
Pre-order: [LINK]
20 Watt Tombstone · Midnight Train To Memphis (Chris Stapleton cover)
If ever there were a way to see in the new year, it's by the arrival of the Jackalope, heralded by 20 Watt Tombstone. A self-styled 'death-blues' duo, they have kicked up a racket over the last few years as they've dragged their tour van through most of the US and several parts of Europe. While road dogging is the band's main passion, it figures they put together some highway-worthy tunes. After proving their worth in their own material, it's time to highlight just a couple of their wide-ranging influences on this two-punch record.
On the A-side of this record comes a feel-good rocker – the working man's rock of ZZ Top with their underrated "Just Got Paid". The effortless slide guitar licks carry the perfect level of twang – while everything has undoubtedly been recorded live as 20 Watt Tombstone's previous releases, they've cleaned up their act and it all sounds much crisper. Mitch Ostrowski's drumming is no slack either, as he bangs down hard on his kit in perfect synchronicity.
The flipside of the record, however, takes a darker turn; here has a thundering version of "Midnight Train to Memphis" by Chris Stapleton. The name may not mean much outside of Southern rock and Americana circles, but his influence as a songwriter reaches widely into pop, country, and rock n' roll. As such it's only fitting to pay tribute to a man who has done so much for music. And tribute is paid – there is a wonderful gritty tone from the voice of the tower that is Tom Jordan, as he stretches out the chorus lines detailing a prisoner's life.
And that's all, folks. A small teaser of 20 Watt Tombstone's heaviness, more focused on the blues side than the death side this time. If it is indeed the Year of the Jackalope and its scary face, then it is with a mixture of trepidation and excitement that we await for further material to emerge. Long live Wisco Disco!

Q: Sys.Indexes items are missing from sys.objects view SQL Server 2014 I have just installed SQL Server 2014.

*

*Product: Microsoft SQL Server Express (64-bit)

*Operating System: Microsoft Windows NT 6.1 (7601)

*Platform: NT x64

*Version: 12.0.2000.8

*Server Collation: Latin1_General_CI_AS

*Is Clustered: False

*Is HADR Enabled: False
I created a database using right click on Databases --> New Database. I set a name, I left the default options and I pressed OK.
Executing the following query, I realized that there are items from sys.indexes view that cannot be found in sys.objects.
Select *
From sys.indexes ind
Where not exists ( select * from sys.objects obj where ind.object_id = obj.object_id )

The above query returns the following results:
5575058         plan_persist_plan_cidx
5575058         plan_persist_plan_idx1
21575115        plan_persist_runtime_stats_cidx
21575115        plan_persist_runtime_stats_idx1
37575172        plan_persist_runtime_stats_interval_cidx
37575172        plan_persist_runtime_stats_interval_idx1
53575229        plan_persist_context_settings_cidx
2121058592      plan_persist_query_text_cidx
2121058592      plan_persist_query_text_idx1
2137058649      plan_persist_query_cidx
2137058649      plan_persist_query_idx1

I read that non schema-scoped items are not returned from sys.objects view, but I cannot find any information related to the above items. Until today I used SQL Server 2012 and I didn't have any problem with the above table connection logic.
What kind of items are these?
How can I distinguish these items from other (other=the items returned from sys.objects)?
Thanks,
Kostas

A: You can exclude these items by checking the IsMsShipped object property:
Select *
From sys.indexes ind
Where not exists ( select * from sys.objects obj where ind.object_id = obj.object_id )
And objectproperty( ind.object_id, 'IsMSShipped' ) = 0

About The Formations Company
What is a Private Limited Company?
If you have a great business idea and have started researching how to bring it to life, you might have come across this phrase. But what is a private limited company and why might you choose to form one? Let's take a look.
Even if you are 100% confident about your business idea, you may decide it's best to limit your personal liability for debt if your company ever gets into financial trouble. That's exactly what a private limited company is set up to help with.
There are two different kinds of private limited companies.
A private limited company is a company that can either be limited by shares or by guarantee:
Private company limited by shares:
This means that the company is owned by shareholders. The liability of each shareholder is limited to the original value of the shares issued to them.
Private company limited by guarantee:
When a private company is limited by guarantee, it has members who act as its guarantors. These members contribute a previously agreed amount to support the company in times of trouble.
When setting up your business it's a good idea to look well into the future to decide where you want to be and where you wish to take your business. If you're looking to grow your business setting up as a private limited company will help you to share the load and eventually, as the company is a separate legal entity, you could even take a back seat.
But there's much more to gain from setting up as a private limited company, and while there's more administration to set up, opting for the help of a formations agent can make it quick, easy and cheaper than you think.
Advantages of a Private Limited Company
There are two main advantages of a private limited company. First, it is a separate legal entity, meaning that if it hits bad times you won't be personally liable – either financially or legally. Setting up as a limited company also makes it less personal when it comes to running your company, as you can share the responsibilities with others much more easily.
Sharing the work
With the ability to bring many more people into the mix you'll be able to benefit from others' expertise and skills, helping you to keep a clear head for business.
Income advantages
As well as limiting your personal liability, you'll also find there are tax benefits. This is another of the advantage of a private limited company. With the company paying Corporation Tax on taxable profits, you may be protected from higher income tax rates yourself.
A private limited company also has the advantage of more tax-deductible allowances and costs, which are redeemable against profit.
Let's say you're a business owner, you're working as a sole trader and you wish to take time off. If you become unwell or if you simply wish to retire, your business will also need to go on hold or close. Setting up as a private limited company means you can choose other people to take control when you're not there.
Disadvantages of a Private Limited Company
Many see the paperwork involved with setting up and running a private limited company as a barrier to getting started. There's certainly a lot to consider when setting up a private limited company. However, much of the hassle can be removed when you use a formations agent to help. Considerations include:
Set up costs
Registering with Companies House, you'll need to pay a fee. Using a formations agent you'll probably find this is cheaper than going direct and costs a lot less than you may think.
The financial information you need to file is more complex when you're registered as a private limited company. However, this information can also help you to keep a keen eye on your company's productivity and profitability. And your accounts don't need to cost the earth to get right.
Shared profits
The profits of a limited company are distributed among shareholders or channelled back into the business. Many private limited companies benefit from this and with investment from profits may grow more successfully.
Setting up a Private Limited Company
Setting up a private limited company is a simple process and you could be the owner of your own company in a matter of hours. If you're not ready just yet, continue to browse the knowledge base for more advice on some of the key terms associated with setting up a business.

5 easy ways to make your dog happier
Happiness – it's that most elusive of feelings, one that we all crave but can't always keep hold of. Our doggy friends are much the same. They too have their ups and downs and get craggy, sad and upset. So how do we minimize those lows and ensure our pets are spending much of their time in a state of contentment?
Give your dog a space in the house they can call their own
Dogs are pack animals who will follow your lead, but they too need a space they can call their own. Demarcate an area somewhere in the living room, or in the kitchen, where your pet can curl up and get comfy. Put a bed here replete with your dog's favorite toys. A good bone doesn't hurt either. This is a space your animal can retreat to when she wants some peace and quiet.
Put a structured routine in place
Dogs absolutely love a good routine. In fact, it's as beneficial for them as it is for us. Make mealtimes consistent; ensure walks are regularly taking place; and try to keep disruptions to the bare minimum. Sure, sometimes life throws us curveballs, but your animal will be a lot happier knowing that, 9 times out of 10, their routine is going to be looked after. If you're really struggling to keep up the juggling act, drop them off at a daycare center, where they'll have the social pressure of other dogs to keep their behavior in check, and plenty of stimulation to keep them occupied.
Keep them busy
This is especially true of dogs with lots of energy. For every couch potato, there are 9 breeds out there who crave stimulation. Walks are an important aspect of this, as it helps a dog to understand their surroundings and take in the sights and smells of other dogs.
At home, give her toys to play with and let her meet other dogs in the comfort of her home. Socialization should start early to ward off antisocial behaviors.
Be the pack leader
On walks, don't let your dog lead you. They should be at your side, or a fraction behind you. When the reverse happens, and your dog assumes the role of leader, she also tries to shield you from perceived threats coming your way. She'll end up barking a lot and pulling you. All this energy expenditure causes stress and anxiety, and it'll have a detrimental impact on your dog's mood. Left unchecked, she'll also become a high-maintenance diva that's impossible to quell without professional intervention.
The same goes for home life. You set the rules – she doesn't. Stay assertive but calm, firm but fair. This brings us on to our last point…
Don't raise your voice
If your dog has a habit of barking, don't raise your voice to stop her. This only ups the stakes and reinforces that bad behavior. You want your animal to be calm, because if she's calm, she's far more likely to be happy. Turn your back on her until she quietens, then give her a treat to let her know that it's silence you're after, not noise. Focus on getting her to be quiet for longer and longer periods of time before rewarding her with a treat. This small game will soon help her associate barking with loneliness, and silence with a yummy snack.
In the end, a calm dog is a happy dog. By contrast, an excitedly barking dog will often wear itself out and start to feel crabby. Put a structure in place so that your dog can be more like the former, and less like the latter.
Your comment will be revised by the site if needed.

Cliff Jacobson is one of the wise men of the outdoors.
He is one of North America's best respected and most published outdoors writers.
He is the author of over a dozen top-selling books on canoeing, expeditioning, camping and outdoors skills.
His excellent book Expedition Canoeing is a vital addition to any wilderness paddler's library and a favourite resource of mine.
Cliff's extensive wilderness experience informs his writing with realism, pragmatism and practicality. He's a true outdoorsman and he values skills over things.
For all these reasons Cliff is one of my outdoor heroes, someone I look up to.
So, it was a great honour for me to be able to contribute – albeit in a relatively small way – to Cliff's latest book.
Towards the end of 2011 Cliff sent out a request for various images to illustrate the upcoming 25th anniversary edition of his classic Camping's Top Secrets: A Lexicon of Expert Camping Tips.
I have an extensive archive of photographs from my trips and expeditions; I thought that some of them would be suitable for Cliff's requirements.
I got in touch with Cliff and pointed him in the direction of some of my photos on Flickr.
Cliff was indeed interested in using one that I took on a winter camping trip in the northern forest.
My winter camping photo used in Cliff's book.
Roll forward over a year and Cliff's new book is ready.
I already have my copy.
It is an A-Z of great camping advice covering more than 200 pages.
As a thank you, Cliff sent me a copy of the book and I was delighted to find it in my mail box yesterday.
Inside, Cliff had inscribed "To Paul Kirtley. Thank you for your expertise and contribution to this book. Warm Regards, Cliff Jacobson 2013".
Cliff is not only an expert in his field but a true gentleman.
Receiving the book and reading his comment certainly made my day.
Cliff is a man who talks sense about the realities of wilderness travel. In this interview, Cliff speaks frankly about wilderness camping skills, journeys in remote country, the risks, bugs, bears and the one indulgence he likes to take with him.
Camping's Top Secrets is published by Falcon Guides.
UK and European readers of this blog, can purchase a copy from Amazon here.
For readers in the rest of the world, including North America, the publisher has a list of places you can buy the book here.
Great article again Paul, keep them coming.
In my ignorance I had never heard of this man- but watching the video I have already learnt a few things. He appears to be a real outdoorsman with real values- out of the 'old school'.
I can see why it made your day and of course was another affirmation of your skills.
Thank you for bringing another guy with a wealth of knowledge to my/our attention.
Another great article, this one is really dead on! I am lucky enough to have been able to spend some time with Cliff Jacobson, and consider him one of my great outdoors mentors. When I was a kid, my dad had a copy of one of Cliff's early books, Canoe Camping, and it taught us a lot about backcountry travel. Some 20+ years later after seeing him present many times, and reading several more of his books, I was able to meet the man personally. For each of the last 3 years Cliff has donated a weekend of his time to conduct an "Expedition Canoeing School" for our local (Minneapolis/St. Paul, USA) Boy Scout council. I've organized the event, but it is all Cliff giving the show, using his flagship book, "Expedition Canoeing", as a template to share his incredible knowledge and experiences, while raising thousands of dollars for the council's Eagle Scout Scholarship fund. Cliff is a passionate and practical outdoorsman, and a great guy! He certainly does value traditional skills, but is also an expert on modern equipment and techniques. He needs to be, for decades he's been guiding people deep in the Canadian bush on wild rivers, where help is only available via a sat phone call to a bush pilot, if then. Even if you aren't a canoeist, I highly recommend his books. There is a wealth of information about backcountry trip planning, travel and skills.
Congratulations on having your photo selected!
Good to hear from you and thanks for your message.
I've never met Cliff in person, although I have communicated with him by email.
I hope our paths cross at some stage.
It's great to hear that your experiences with Cliff coincide with how he comes across in his books and on video – both genuine and passionate.
Are you aiming that question at me or Mr Jacobson?

eSIM Disruption – What the eSIM means to Australians
How the eSIM will affect Australia
eSIMs or embedded SIMs are likely to impact future generations of smartphones, smart watches and tablet devices. With an eSIM preinstalled at the point of manufacture, phone plan changes can be completed all at the tap of a finger, using only your phone.
The patents for embedded SIMs have been around for at least the last 5 years. Within that last half decade, prototypes have been brought to market by major device manufacturers, to test how key elements of how eSIMs work. Unofficially, most of the eSIM related products (previous iPads and Samsung Galaxy Watches, for example) have performed poorly, commercially.
However, it's been announced, recently, that both Apple and Samsung have indicated they are moving towards eSIM in the next generations of their smartphone and wearables products. This might seem like a minor shift in the direction of phone tech but the eSIM has the possibility to disrupt the telecommunication industry.
Major Australian telecoms companies have maintained the status quo (in which we buy and use physical SIMs ) for two decades. Our suggestion is that they won't be too impressed with the eSIM. In fact, eSIMs could change most of how we research, buy and use phone company services. Much of the infrastructure which makes up and surrounds phone companies could change substantially in the next 5 years. One sector, for example, which will notice a loss in earnings is the manufacturers of the physical SIM cards, which are currently in use around the world. As of 2014 the SIM card manufacturing business globally was worth an estimated $5.4Bn.
What's an eSIM?
The arrival of the eSIM may be a surprise. Essentially, the eSIM is a SIM card which is pre-fitted into the phone, directly on to the motherboard of your phone, before you purchase your device. The new SIM is programmable OTA or 'Over The Air.' Importantly, the eSIM is likely to break down traditional relationship that has been formed in the past with a carrier. It 'used to be' them who have traditionally provided the SIM.
It has been estimated that more than 7 billion SIM cards are being used worldwide. That's a massive figure, equivalent, almost, to the world's population. It equates to roughly one SIM card for every man, woman and child on the planet. That's a bit like every single person having an extra finger nail. If you calculate the weight of all that electronic memory and the material used to make it, it's equivalent to a whopping 30 million kilos! It's that which is about to be changed.
Apart from the absence of a card, the capabilities of the eSIM will ultimately the same as with your current SIM
It keeps your identity information :
Your eSIM is holds and compresses all your 'subscriber information'. That includes contacts and sometimes text messages into a tiny 64 kilobytes. The ultimate purpose of the SIM card is to associate the subscriber (you) with a unique number code, known as the IMSI or (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) and those two things to the billing account your phone company has set up. Connecting these two things allows the user to access the service providers network, and for the network to track their call, SMS and data usage, so it can be billed to you further down the line. Once the eSIM becomes standard in Australia, it will be possible to associate the user and the IMSI information much more easily.
It connects you to the network :
What you won't have to worry about, when the eSIM arrivs, is rummaging through a container looking for the SIM card you use, for data or phone, and inserting it into your handse. Y ou will be able to aign up to and change your mobile network operator (MNO) when you want directly from your handset.
It reduces the chances of something going wrong :
Nano and micro SIMs, used by most phone manufacturers in recent years have been about as small as SIM cards could go. They're easy to lose and break. Additionally, the multitude of physical SIM options currently in market create problems of their own. Users, who tend not to care about these things a great deal but as thing stand, they have to know what type of SIM their phone takes before they can buy a SIM pack to get one.
What does the eSIM mean to phone companies
You will have noticed that prepaid phone plans consistently have bonus offers, cut prices and additional inclusions, all of which are designed to attract you to move from your current provider to an alternative.
Prepaid users are, by definition, not in a contract for their phone and can move easily from one provider to another or one phone plan to another. In the old, contract days, once a customer purchased a SIM card with phone call and data rights it was far too complex just to ditch an operator and move onto another one due to more favourable pricing. Doing that meant getting a new SIM card, which isn't so easy to get one's hands on with a limit in the number of shop fronts representing the different telcos.
In the new eSIM world, switching from one provider to other will be able to be done with only the tap of a finger, rather than requiring the removal of one SIM card and switching it out for different providers one. eSIM will also remove the need for users to bother with physical plastic SIM cards.
It's hard to overstate the distruption that eSIMs will bring to the Australian SIM Only market.
Smaller phone companies will likely be the biggest winners from the arrival of the eSIM.
The benefits the eSIM will provide to the user are already well established. So are the impacts on big phone companies. What we haven't see covered elsewhere is the likely impact small phone companies which will follow the arrival and adoption of the eSIM. Small telcos are called Mobile Virtual Network Operators, MVNO for short. They're phone / SIM providers which traditionally deliver great value money for deals. It seem likely that they will be the winners in when the eSIM arrives.
MVNOs have the ability to quickly lower costs and alter their SIM Only or prepaid plans. This agility and flexibility will leave them with an advantage over the tier 1 national carriers. Further, the eSIM will lower barrier of entry into the market to be, allowing large global companies such as Google and Facebook to launch MVNOs in Australia, if they'd like. And it appears they would like to.
The effects on the existing models of the big phone companies could be very real :
Compartmentalisation of the service :
One of the primary benefits of the eSIM from a user perspective may be one of the primary concerns for the phone companies. The eSIM means people can now download and make use of multiple SIM profiles in their phone at one time. Take, for example, the possibility of having a Vodafone SIM plan profile which is used when you're in cities, because it's cheaper than the alternatives. It will also allow you to have, on the same phone, at the same time, a Telstra SIM profile which you can automatically switch to when you're out of the city. This movement of power to consumers is a major change for the industry. Remember, until recently people would buy a phone, tied to a contract for 2 years from a single phone company. Now users can buy their phone at JBHiFi or online from an eCommerce shop like Mobileciti. They can add cheap plans from both Vodafone and Telstra to get the best mix of coverage and cost for them. They can move regularly to better deals when they become available, easily, from their handset. The eSIM explodes the 'bundling' that telcos rely on, offering the chance for people to create exactly the services they want from smaller components offered by the telcos. We take this sort of facility for granted in many other areas of our lives. Think about how you configured your living room, for example. You bought the chairs from one store and the table from another. Now you can piece together the components of phone plans so you can get exactly what you need from many.
Increased awareness / parity of comparison :
According to some primary research WhatPhone undertook in late 2017, most Australians think there are around 25 phone companies in the country. The reality is that there are twice that number. People don't know where to go to get the best deals, and, as with Banks, the lack of awareness can lead to them paying higher prices for the same services. When users are signing up to eSIM plans, they will be picking from a single list of all phone plan providers. In this context, it will be a battle of 'equals'.
With that increased awareness, the eSIM will favour low margin businesses :
MVNO businesses operate without many of the costs that the major networks (Telstra et al .) have to sustain. Smaller phone companies tend to be more efficient than the big ones. They sell and service online rather than maintaining a large number of retail stores. They operate call centers overseas rather than from Tasmania which Vodafone do, for example. As margins get thinner as a result of competition, it will be harder to be a big phone company.
The eSIM will encourage new entrants :
TPG are just one example of a new mobile phone company (they've done things like broadband for a long time) which, when it was established made a splash in the news. In the USA, Google Fi is a beta version of a new type of telco. It combines the best of WiFi and cellular access in to a single plan and, if you can believe this, refunds users at the end of the month for the data they haven't used yet. Apple, in particular are taking the lead on pushing the eSIM forward and their track record shows the potential for a huge range of telco and wrap around services to be generated when the facility goes mainstream. As well as favouring smaller phone companies then, the eSIM will cause more to be created.
This will benefit the major telcos too :
There are many phone companies in Australia, but only three phone networks. Smaller phone companies lease access to the networks they use from one of those big three network providers and charged a service fee for it. Ultimately, while revenues for the big phone companies might be lower, when the eSIM arrives, for the reasons we've said, much of the money from plans sold on MVNO networks will still flow to the big telcos.
Expensive content :
To try and avoid or at least deter some of the commoditisation of services and pricing that the eSIM will generate, the major phone companies have started investing in exclusive content rights. These are extremely expensive to purchase and it remains to be seen how many people will value and use them.
5G is coming :
The eSIM will launch in 2017 and grow from a slow start. However, it's not long before some of the effects we've outlined here start to overlap with other trends in the industry. We have raised questions before about some of the problems the next generation of super fast data services, 5G will create. We've also considered what will happen to telco pricing when 5G arrives and some of the things the telcos can do to fight off the problems it will create. 5G is likely to further accentuate the fragmentation of phone company services. In parallel, phone leasing options and a general movement of people away from phone contracts and towards buying their own phone and adding a SIM will make it harder still to be a big phone company. Vodafone Australia themselves revised their suite of phone plans in recognition of these changes in late 2017.
In Conclusion – Digital transformation is around the corner
The eSIM appears innocuous but it will have massive and far ranging implications for the whole of the telecommunications industry.
The movement to eSIM once launched is predicted to take from 18 months to 2 years to reach a critical mass. As users become more accustomed to the eSIM, it won't take too long before physical SIM cards are a thing of the past.
It's not all bad news for the tier 1 phone companies ( Vodafone etc. ) eSIM forecasts indicate that, despite the competition and innovation the eSIM will stimulate, the major Mobile Network Operators will, ultimately, get a significant amount of new Internet Of Things revenue, generated as a result of the eSIM. Car manufactures, for example have been told to incorporate an emergency call facility into new cars in the form of an eSIM that can't be removed. This is fitted to alert emergency services if an accident has taken place. All of those cars need to be connected to the internet with a phone plan.
Apple and Samsung have talked for some time about their imminent, important eSIM launches : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3165198/Death-SIM-card-Apple-Samsung-keen-rolling-e-SIM-rumours-claim.html
Apple have said many times that they don't want to become an MVNO. And they wouldn't mislead us, would they ? :o) http://fortune.com/2016/05/24/apple-wireless-carrier/

The first and foremost thing that you need To do would be to spot the matter at hand. You have to be clear about your reason for utilizing CBD. Be very clear about the sort of solution that you are searching for. To be able to understand which product you need, first ask yourself exactly what the issue is. Do you need CBD for muscle pain? Or are you interested in finding a solution for your anxiety? As soon as you've the issue identified, proceed to the next measure of questioning: What sort of a supplement are you looking for? Are you in need of a CBD that works fast and produces consequence? Or, are you looking for a CBD that works slowly through your entire body and offers you lasting results? Are you currently in search of immediate relief or a slow-acting alternative? What about the affordability? Do you've got the funds for a costly merchandise or do you want to go for a cheap alternative? Do you desire a CBD which needs multiple daily doses or something that you can take after on the move? Is there anything you're allergic to? Are you picky about tastes or the type of medication? You need to answer these vital questions before searching for the CBD oils or capsules. As soon as you've got all the answers, move to another step.
After finalizing your list, you Will Need to Dip a bit deeper and assess those products for third party lab testing results. Often times, you may readily discover the lab results on the internet and it is also easier to validate their authenticity this way. Make sure you check which of the goods on your list are created from whole plant extracts. Products with entire plant extracts are more successful. After checking for these two factors, your list will become narrower. Next you have to look at that the CBD for the amount of THC present. THC tends to give psychoactive effects; therefore, a very low quantity of THC is appropriate if you don't want to have'high' after ingestion or use of this CBD product. If you are a very aware person than we'd advise you to look deeper into the manufacturing process of CBD since it is related to the effectiveness of the CBD merchandise. It matters how the hemp becomes extracted from the plant. The extraction methods can alter the advantages of the product, so check your CBD product and find out more about the manufacturing methods utilized. Select the ones which have been extracted and manufactured using organic and pharmaceutical grade ethanol. Those tend to retain the most helpful properties. While you are researching also attempt to look at how and where that brand develops its Hemp. This is a good factor because Hemp has the capability to consume all of the very important nutrients in the soil in which it is grown; therefore it's very good to be sure what kind of soil and growing method is used for the yield of Hemp that goes into the CBD products on your listing. If you follow through each of those procedures, you record will be narrowed down to 2 or 3 CBD products. Now you can make your final selection depending on the flavor and price of the CBD merchandise.

Doctor's 23-year career ended for asking Muslima to lift veil
A family GP with an unblemished 23-year record is to quit the medical profession following a complaint of 'racial discrimination' by a female Muslim patient.
During a consultation last June, Dr Keith Wolverson (below) had politely asked the woman to lift her veil so that he could properly hear her describe her sick daughter's symptoms - essential for him to make an accurate diagnosis.
Afterwards the Muslima said she felt 'victimised and racially discriminated' by Dr Wolverson, and so her husband decided to lodge a complaint.
It seems that even free healthcare by a caring, dedicated doctor is insufficient to placate such whining, vindictive ingrates.
Understandably Dr Wolverson, threatened with disciplinary action that could result in him being struck off, has decided to resign from his job at Royal Stoke University in Stoke-on-Trent in protest at his despicable treatment.
A doctor's quest to perform the very finest consultation for the safety of the patient has been misinterpreted in a duplicitous manner to suggest there has been an act of racism committed. I absolutely no longer want to be a doctor.
Unfortunately, he's not the first to be targeted for non-compliance with this medieval Islamic custom.
Last year, a Bristol bus driver was accused of 'racism' after he asked a female passenger to remove her veil, and she took offence:
I've been humiliated in public, and I'm disappointed. It's 2018, we shouldn't be like that. I'm being stereotyped.
(Seriously, 2018 - in that garb!?)
Naturally the driver's employer, First Bus, cravenly apologised to the woman and disciplined him.
We've now reached a situation where decent, hard-working Britons can be hounded out of their jobs for refusing to accept alien practices that have no place in our society - and in this case pose real risks to safety and security.
(The irony is that even imams disagree as to whether face covering is scripturally mandated.)
A mere complaint by a Muslim can destroy a person's livelihood and reputation.
And it's all down to the establishment's (admittedly well-founded) fear of violent Muslim reaction to offence.
It has to stop!
People of other cultures who want to live in Britain must make concessions to our culture, our values.
There is no other way.
To demand that British society adapt to imported beliefs and customs is not just unreasonable, but profoundly and unacceptably arrogant.
Those who want a fully Islamic life with Sharia Law, halal slaughter, giant mosques, wailing muezzins and sackcloth-covered women have scores of Islamic countries to choose from.
We suggest they avail themselves of that choice.
Meanwhile, Britain should follow France's lead and ban the burka and niqab outright.

Critic Reviews of "One Thousand Ropes"
It combines melancholy domestic drama with spiritual and supernatural elements, and while the latter could have been more robustly developed, a quiet power accumulates nonetheless.
... a poignant rendering of a Samoan indigeneity, adrift and unmoored in urban diaspora of Aotearoa/New Zealand.
Samoan New Zealand director Tusi Tamasese's second feature, One Thousand Ropes, resonates with the same quiet power and restraint of his award-winning debut, The Orator.
One of the most intelligent films to come out of New Zealand and Samoa.
One Thousand Ropes may be a little too enigmatic and guarded for some tastes but Tamasese does succeed in bringing all the aspects of the story together and conveying the notion that Maea is at a crossroads.
