Please i need some help , i have changed my jdk version from 1.6 to 1.7 and the problem remains. I guess it's not a compiler problem
Regards

A: In XHTML, the ampersand will be parsed as a character not an operator unless you wrap the JavaScript in CDATA:
<![CDATA[
// your code
]]>

The error you provided says The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference. This is telling you that it was expecting an entity name such as quot or amp, as in " and &. The error was triggered because instead of an entity name, it encountered another ampersand.
See this answer for more: When is a CDATA section necessary within a script tag?

Council leader welcomes pause to lockdown easing
Posted on June 14, 2021 June 14, 2021 by Gary Skentelbery
CHESHIRE West and Chester Council leader Louise Gittins has welcomed the pause to national lockdown easing announced today as cases of the Delta variant increase in the borough.
Cllr Gittins is urging residents, businesses and communities to play their part to turn things around as latest data shows the infection rate reaching 113 per 100,000 people in Cheshire West and Chester as of 9 June.
Early testing data shows that at least 85% of these cases are the new Delta variant, first identified in India.
The national roadmap had previously listed 21 June as the earliest date by which legal limits on social contact could be removed, all premises could reopen, including nightclubs, and restrictions could be eased on large events and performances. The government today announced that it was extending this by four weeks.
Cllr Gittins said: "It goes without saying that I am disappointed we will not see the easing of restrictions that we had all hoped for on 21 June – but it makes a lot of sense to delay this for four weeks.
"In our borough we have seen how quickly the new Delta variant spreads, so to unlock completely now would have been unwise.
"This is why I welcome this delay, which gives us more chance to limit the spread of the virus and to find out whether the rising infection rate causes a rise in people being admitted to hospital.
"I cannot stress enough the importance of getting your vaccine when it is offered to you – and if you have been offered it in the past but didn't take up that chance it is not too late. This is our best form of defence against COVID-19, both as individuals and as a community.
"Alongside this it is vital to keep washing or sanitising your hands regularly, wear a face covering in enclosed spaces and keep two metres away from anyone who you don't live with or who isn't in your support bubble.
"Minimise how much you travel, work from home as much as possible and, if you are socialising, try to stay outdoors in the fresh air.
"I would like to thank all our local residents and businesses for all that they have done to combat this virus so far and I am disappointed that we still need to keep these measures in place, but it's important for us all to play our part to tackle COVID-19."
Anyone aged 23 and over is invited to book their COVID-19 vaccine. Visit: www.cheshireccg.nhs.uk for more information.
There are significant outbreaks in the Northwich and Winsford areas and anyone who lives or works in those areas is being asked to book a COVID-19 test called a PCR test, whether or not they have symptoms or have been vaccinated.
To book a test visit: www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test and select 'My local council or health protection team has asked me to get a test, even though I do not have symptoms' or call 119.
In Northwich a mobile PCR testing unit is currently based in Cumberland Car Park, Leicester Street,. This is for pre-booked appointments from noon to 8pm. Another PCR local testing centre is located at the Old Depot, Leicester Street. This provides PCR tests daily from 8am-8pm.
In Winsford there is a mobile PCR testing unit in the car park of Winsford Academy, with pre-booked appointments available from 9am to 4pm. There is also a PCR Testing Centre at Queensway. This provides PCR tests daily from 8am-8pm.
A pop-up PCR testing centre is also available in Road Three, in Winsford Industrial Estate, until Wednesday, 16 June. This is open from 9am to 4.30pm and no appointment is necessary.
In addition, all residents in the borough are asked to take no-symptoms COVID-19 tests, called Lateral Flow Tests (LFTs) twice a week. For full information on where to get tested or pick up home testing kits visit: www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/c19testing.
Anyone with symptoms, including a new continuous cough, high temperature or loss or change in your sense of smell or taste, should self-isolate immediately and book a PCR test at: www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test or call: 119.

CADA Dinner Live 2022 Preview
By Tony Taglavore
Annual event celebrates sobriety and recovery
It was a living hell. It was a very dark place. I couldn't stop. I couldn't stop."
Carin Cannon was an alcoholic and drug addict.
"Once I start, I can't stop. At all."
Now on her way to four years being sober a second time, Cannon and others will soon be applauded for their success.
The CADA (Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse) Annual Dinner Live 2022 will be Wednesday evening, Oct. 5, at Brookshire Grocery Arena in Bossier City. "We see it as a kind of big party to celebrate sobriety and recovery in Northwest Louisiana," said CADA Executive Director Bill Rose. "It's typically not a fundraiser, although we do make a little bit of money. It's primarily an event to raise awareness in the community and showcase some of the work we do at CADA."
Cannon knows that work first-hand. CADA is the organization from which she sought help in 2012 and again in 2019.
"I was an active, productive alcoholic and addict for 19 years before I got sober in 2012," Cannon remembered. "I started drinking when I was in high school – the weekend casual thing. I didn't get introduced to methamphetamines until I was 20 years old. That's when I started trying drugs, so I was a late bloomer." But a few years into her drug use, something changed. Cannon says it was the drug itself.
"It wasn't like it was at first, where you could just do it on weekends and it just be like a functional, going out, partying thing. It had become a habit. All those years, I was functioning, but I would justify it as 'I'm just taking diet pills, and I am drinking just to calm my nerves.'"
After five years in recovery, Cannon – now working at CADA – relapsed.
"I can remember going to church and having to drink a six-pack before I could enter the church because I would shake so bad going into the church house," Cannon said. "That's sad, but that's the truth."
Eventually, Cannon could not go any lower.
"I literally hit rock bottom. I didn't want to live anymore. I have four beautiful children, and I had put them through so much hell with my relapse. It was a very, very dark place. … I just didn't want to be here anymore."
Cannon "lost everything." Her home. Her car. Her freedom. Her children.
"My oldest two kids didn't want anything to do with me – at all. My son moved to his daddy's (house). My daughter moved to her grandma's (house) – didn't want anything to do with me. My 14-year-old moved in with his grandma. I lost parental rights to him. I lost sole custody of my little girl to her grandma."
Eventually, with an assist from above, Cannon got help.
"By the grace of God – because that's who I give all the credit – I got into some trouble. God knew. If it wouldn't have been for that, I don't think I would have made it back."
Cannon's story is one of many people CADA has helped through the years. Money raised from its annual dinner allows CADA to provide treatment programs for those struggling with drugs and alcohol. This year's guest speaker is Craig Ferguson, comedian and former host of "The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson." The Scottish-American is also a recovering addict. To help Ferguson tell his story and provide information to those in attendance, the format for this year's event will be different than usual. Instead of Ferguson standing at a podium and giving a speech, CADA will moderate a Q&A session.
"If we can set up the questions and answers we know that family members may have about recovery and treatment, or how to get on the path to recovery and treatment, it's a little more attractive for those folks, and it helps out the speaker as well."
Every day, Rose sees how addiction can ruin a person's life. He also sees how treatment can restore a person's life.
"Usually when someone is really in that desperate phase of addiction, unfortunately, family and close friends tend to give up on that person," Rose said. "In fact, that person kind of throws in the towel themselves. They're bombarded with medical issues sometimes, legal problems, financial problems – you name it. They are having all these issues in their life, and things seem pretty hopeless. When organizations like CADA provide these folks with some resources and opportunities, it gives them that place to be able to begin to repair every area of their life."

Something Fun This Way Comes


CORNING >> The police chief hired by ousted Tribal Council members of the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians alleges that federal and state laws are being broken at the casino the tribe owns and operates.
The laws violated, according to the release, include threats to public safety, improper payouts and unlicensed gunmen and operators at the casino, among others allegations.
Parker, a former Tehama County sheriff and current Red Bluff City Council member, has said he works for the whole tribe, but his authority has been challenged by members of the tribe in control of the casino and other properties.
Members of the tribe's Henthorn, Pata, Crosby and Lohse families were suspended during the tribe's annual General Council meeting April 12 because they allegedly do not meet criteria to be eligible members of the tribe. Additionally, four members of the five-member Tribal Council, which governs the tribe, were subsequently ousted and banned from the tribe's properties. Those members include Vice Chairman David Swearinger, Treasurer Leslie Lohse, Secretary Geraldine Freeman and member-at-large Allen Swearinger.
They maintain, however, that they are the "duly elected members of the Tribal Council," and reject the suspensions and the legality of their reappointments.
The tribe's chairman, Andrew Freeman, had previously announced the suspension of more than 70 members of the tribe, which is comprised of more than 300 members, and an attorney representing the tribe, Richard Verri, previously said the appointment of new Tribal Council members was carried out legally and in accordance with the tribe's constitution. Those appointments, and suspensions, he has said, were reaffirmed by the tribe at a General Council meeting May 10. General Council meetings are composed of all adult members of the tribe.
Andrew Freeman has also lobbed his own allegations of embezzlement and fraud against some suspended members.
In the news release issued Tuesday, it's said investigators from the National Indian Gaming Commission, "the federal agency primarily responsible for ensuring public safety and financial integrity in Indian gaming operations," were sent to the casino last week.

Next: Revival of Tamil Nadu's Heritage - 24 March, 2021
Presented by ACRI Chennai Chapter
Next: Revival of Tamil Nadu's Heritage
24 March, 2021 | 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm IST | Webinar
ACRI in collaboration with SPI Edge hosted the third episode of the Next: series - Next : Revival of Tamil Nadu's Heritage to start a conversation around how to revive indigenous art forms and traditions.
The session was a conversation between Tharun Sekhar, Founder, Uru Instruments, Thirupurasundari Sevvel, Architect and Founder, Nam Veedu Nam Oor Nam Kadhai, Dr Hemalatha Jain, Founder, Punarjeevana Trust, and Amar Ramesh, Photographer and Founder, Studio A.
The event started with the screening of a documentary short film "Jamakkalam" by Big Short Films about the traditional Bhavani Jamakkalam, the plight of the weavers and the way forward. The film being similar to the topic of discussion, set the tone for the event.
The panel discussion started with a conversation between the host S. S. Sriram, from SPI Edge, and the moderator Ms. Thirupurasundari Sevvel, where she spoke about her Initiative - Namveedu Namoor Namkadhai and how she successfully revived old architectural methods like red-oxide flooring by collaborating with artisans in a way that benefitted artisans and architects equally. The common point of discussion among the panelists was the improvement of livelihood of the artisans, and ways in which old art forms can be revived and presented in a way that they blend with the present lifestyle. Dr. Hemalatha spoke about how her Punarjeevana Trust is helping weavers achieve financial sustainability. Amar Ramesh recommended every young upcoming photographer to take up one topic of heritage and start covering them to create awareness. Tharun spoke about ways in which he works to popularise the Instrument Yaazh - a 2000 year old instrument rediscovered and remoulded by his entity Uru Instruments.
The event concluded with the screening of another documentary short film "Petti" which spoke about the Petti - a tool used by coconut climbers and how a few individuals managed to commercialise the tool and make it useful for the common public in their day to day lives, in turn helping the artisans' livelihood. The film was a fitting end which resonated with the topic in discussion.


There is something for every reader in this collection. The eighteen stories are divided into sections, explained in the author's entertaining foreword.
The first section, "Ain't it Romantic," presents stories with an amorous, if somewhat twisted, bent. A model suffers humiliation from a pimple on her face that won't stop growing no matter what she does, and discovers her photographer isn't quite what he seems. A man trying to repair his broken marriage after an affair finds solace at library story time with his little boy until he notices a new mural that unsettles him. A broken-hearted widower goes back in time to spend time with his wife at meetings for grieving husbands.
The old wives' tale of a cat stealing a newborn's soul starts off the "Joy of Parenting" section as a new father becomes convinced the stray cat he and his wife adopted has sinister intentions. A man risks his life traveling through a post-apocalyptic wasteland in which the effects of a bio-weapon turn exposed survivors into were-people. The author also includes a charming prequel to Jack and the Beanstalk.
During the "Intermission," we are given an explanation of why an airport bathroom exploded during a worker's shift. The story is both funny and delightfully bizarre.
History is touched on in the "Looking Back" section. The old adage "Everything happens for a reason" is played out in a chilling story in which a homeless man is convinced another street denizen is about to bring on Armageddon. A spurned lesbian pretends to be a man and joins the Union Army to fight the Confederates, and soon finds herself in a raid upon her former lover's plantation. And two men discover a jackpot while mining for silver, but their riches are tainted by evil.
And finally, the author looks toward the future in "Looking Forward." A female pope saves the world, but is it faith or science guiding her? A man and his wife become caretakers for the man's aging mother whose battle with Alzheimer's begins to convince the man he is crazy once he starts experiencing the same hallucinations.
Matthew Warner is an impressive storyteller, and that skill shines through in this collection. While not exactly moralistic stories, quite a few of them leave you unsettled. Dominoes in Time is a fantastic collection, and proves that the author should be front and center in dark fiction.
Make sure you check out the Story Notes at the end; they are a fun read as well.

Actors Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper bring attention to the gender pay gap.
By PON Staff — on January 8th, 2016 / Salary Negotiations
Jennifer Lawrence was angry. The December 2014 leaks of data hacked from Sony Pictures revealed that the young actress had negotiated a significantly lower salary than her male costars for her role in the film American Hustle, despite being part of an ensemble cast. Lawrence (like the film's other female lead, Amy Adams) was paid 7% of the film's profits; Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, and Jeremy Renner each were paid 9%.
But Lawrence wasn't angry at Sony. "I got mad at myself," she revealed in an October 2015 essay in Lenny Letter, an email newsletter edited by actress Lena Dunham and producer Jenni Konner. "I failed as a negotiator because I gave up early," Lawrence wrote. "I didn't want to keep fighting over millions of dollars that, frankly . . . I don't need." She continued, "But if I'm honest with myself, there was an element of wanting to be liked that influenced my decision to close the deal without a real fight. I didn't want to seem 'difficult' or 'spoiled.'
"I don't think I'm the only woman with this issue," Lawrence went on. "Are we socially conditioned to behave this way?" She noted that her three male costars on American Hustle "all fought and succeeded in negotiating powerful deals for themselves" with no apparent concern about seeming "difficult" or "spoiled." "If anything, I'm sure they were commended for being fierce and tactical," Lawrence writes, "while I was busy worrying about coming across as a brat and not getting my fair share."
"I'm over trying to find the 'adorable' way to state my opinion and still be likable!" Lawrence concluded.
The anger and frustration that Lawrence expressed in her essay reflect a dilemma that many women have experienced: They want to negotiate as aggressively as men, but they are aware that when doing so, they risk being perceived as unlikable and could be penalized accordingly.
Indeed, women who negotiate on their own behalf risk a backlash effect, Harvard Kennedy School professor Hannah Riley Bowles, Carnegie Mellon University professor Linda Babcock, and Tulane University professor Lei Lai have found in their research. In a series of studies, participants viewed women who negotiated for higher compensation as less nice than women who didn't ask for more. The participants also were less willing to work with the women who negotiated. Male negotiators in the study faced no such backlash.
In part due to their awareness of the backlash effect, women negotiate less often for themselves in the workplace than men do. This tendency contributes to the persistent gender pay gap—the fact that women earn about 81% of what men earn, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Few of us have the opportunity to haggle over millions of dollars in a single negotiation, as Lawrence and her costars do. But the extra dollars that many women pass up when negotiating could make a huge difference for them, particularly when compounded over their lifetimes. Here we review advice on how to overcome the backlash effect and also offer a novel strategy from an unlikely source—Lawrence's frequent costar, Bradley Cooper.
Relationships and requests
As a powerful and, indeed, well-liked woman, Lawrence may have taken a step toward leveling the playing field simply by spreading awareness of the gender pay gap. Her public stance could motivate young women, in particular, to take the risk of asking for more. Lawrence's statements also could remind employers of the stereotypes and inequities they may be perpetuating in workplace negotiations.
Negotiation experts have offered varied strategies to help women and the managers who employ them reduce the gender pay gap. One line of advice may help women overcome the backlash effect by reducing the odds that they will be perceived as violating traditional gender stereotypes of women as communal and relationship oriented—and thus as unlikable.
Specifically, Bowles and her colleagues encourage women to use relational accounts—explanations for their requests that not only seem legitimate but also show concern for organizational relationships. For example, a woman might ask for a raise on the grounds that her supervisor noted that her salary was low for her position. To avoid being perceived as adversarial, women might also frame salary negotiations as joint problem-solving tasks.
Similarly, in her best-selling book Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead (Knopf, 2013), Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg writes that she advises women to explain that they are negotiating for a higher salary to help promote equality between men and women. This strategy works, according to Sandberg, because it shows concern for other women and not just for oneself.
In their book Negotiating at Work: Turn Small Wins into Big Gains (Jossey-Bass, 2015), Simmons College School of Management professor emerita Deborah M. Kolb and writer Jessica L. Porter look beyond the framing of salary requests to identify strategies that both women and men (but especially women) can use to negotiate successfully on their own behalf at work. Kolb and Porter advise us not to overlook the importance of informal opportunities for negotiations, such as asking for the resources we need (administrative support, a travel budget, etc.) to succeed in a new role.
Because superiors might not see the need to negotiate such issues, you may have to find ways to invest them in such discussions, note the authors. You can do so by keeping superiors informed about your and your team's achievements, presenting your bosses with multiple options that you find equally appealing, and enhancing your power by making your alternatives to the status quo more salient in your superiors' eyes. For example, if you are tired of being asked to take on extra assignments from another department for no extra pay, you could turn the next project down, citing your already full workload. Your decision could inspire your boss to initiate a conversation about how you might be compensated for taking on the extra work.
Teaming up for higher pay
In the wake of Lawrence's essay, Bradley Cooper, her costar in American Hustle and two other films, told Reuters he thought it was "fantastic" that she had addressed Hollywood's gender pay gap publicly. Cooper said he had been shocked to learn how relatively little Amy Adams, in particular, had earned on American Hustle, calling her cut of the profits relative to the size of her role in the film "really horrible" and "almost embarrassing."
Interestingly, Cooper also revealed that he had begun teaming up with his female costars to negotiate salary. Saying that he had identified joint negotiations as "something that I could do" to address the issue of unequal pay, Cooper suggested it was time to break the silence on salary negotiations and take a more collaborative approach.
Some might bristle at the notion of a man swooping in to help his female coworker negotiate a better deal. Yet consider that both genders can benefit from this type of team approach. Weaker parties in a negotiation, whether men or women, can often enhance their power when facing off with a stronger partner (such as a film studio) by forming a coalition.
To take another example from the entertainment industry, in the early 1990s, actor David Schwimmer was offered a higher salary than the other five leads of the new TV show Friends for its first season. Willingly sacrificing a bit of money for himself, Schwimmer convinced his castmates that they should all start off at the same salary and negotiate collectively for the duration of the show. Schwimmer smartly foresaw that the actors would gain significant power by negotiating as a group if the show succeeded. The actors stuck to their agreement, and by the show's 10th season, they were each earning a record-breaking $1 million per episode.
Just as employees gain leverage by joining forces in a union, you may be able to increase your strength and confidence by negotiating with coworkers for raises and opportunities. To do so, you might need to share salary information with colleagues or research pay data for your organization or industry online. (In many cases, organizations that forbid their employees from talking about their pay are violating long-standing U.S. law.) Such discussions can be uncomfortable, but they could pave the way to great rewards.

Xiaomi is a privately owned smartphone company that designs, develops and sells smartphones, mobile apps and consumer electronics. Xiaomi was co-founded by 8 partners on June, 2010. Its institutional investors included Temasek, a Singaporean government owned investment vehicle and mobile processor brand Qualcomm. Xiaomi devices are manufactured by Foxconn and Inventec. Xiaomi is called the "Apple Of China".
Xiaomi released its first Android based firmware MIUI on August 2010 and their first smartphone, Xiaomi Mi1 on August 2011. It was shipped with its MIUI firmware which closely bears the similitude of Samsung's TouchWiz UI and Apple's IOS UI.
Their second smartphone, the Xiaomi Mi2 came out in August 2012. The device is equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 which hosts a 2GB RAM and an Adreno 320 GPU. In addition it also boasts a 4.3 inch 720p display. It has in its arsenal an 8MP autofocus camera with LED flash, HDR and image stabilization which is capable of taking full HD videos. The Xiaomi Mi2 also has a secondary 2MP camera. The company on September 2013 said that it had sold over 10 million Mi2 devices.
On September 2013, company announced its Mi3 smartphone which runs either on a 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 or NVIDIA Tegra 4 chipset and Adreno 330 GPU. The Mi3 has a 5 inch full HD IPS display. Similar to the Mi2, the Mi3 has a 13MP autofocus camera but instead of the LED flash this one comes with dual LED flash.
Xiaomi's Mi3 smartphones made their debut in March. The Mi3 batches were sold out within 2 minutes of the opening day sale in Singapore. The company also plans to start sales in Malaysia.
Xiaomi announced the launch of its first tablet, the Xiaomi MiPad on the Xiaomi New Product Launch Event 2014. It is the first device to use the NVIDIA Tegra K1 2.3GHz quad-core processor with 2GB RAM. The MiPad hosts a 7.9 inch 1536p display.
Company officially announced the launch of its tablet smartphone, the Xiaomi RedMi Note on March 2014. It hosts a 5.5 inch HD IPS LCD display with OGS(One Glass Solution) technology and a 1.4 or 1.7GHz MediaTek octa-core processor and a Mali-450MP4 GPU. The RedMi Note also hosts a 13MP primary camera along with a 5MP secondary camera. The RedMi Note comes in two variants. One with 1GB RAM and 8GB internal memory and the other with 2GB RAM and 16GB internal memory.
Xiaomi on April 2014 purchased Mi.com for a record $3.6 million making it the most expensive domain name ever bought in China. It replaced xiaomi.com as the official website of Xiaomi.inc.
Xiaomi's marketing strategy is often described as rising on the back of the 'cult of Apple'. Lei Jun CEO and Chairman at Xiaomi carefully cultivated a Steve Jobs image which included jeans and dark shirts and Jobs' style product announcement. Lei Jun has been categorized as a counterfeit Jobs. Xiaomi's strategy has been categorized as counterfeiting philosophy, mindset and an icon. Despite repeated comparisons with Apple.inc, Xiaomi maintains that it embraces a different set of principles. Xiaomi does not have third party distributors nor does it have any retail stores. Xiaomi products are sold exclusively through the company's official website. Skeptics call the products non-innovative and low priced imitations of iPhone without any significant hardware or software advantages. Xiaomi's ability to customize software based on user preferences sets it apart from Apple.inc.
Here are some of the important hardware/software specifications of the Xiaomi Redmi 1S. Also included are some of the pictures/videos taken on the launch of this device.
As mentioned by the author here, Xiaomi is indeed regarded highly as the "Apple of China". Xiaomi phones have already managed to grab the attention of people using them in China and Singapore. With such a positive feedback, Xiaomi aims to target huge volumes in India with their cheap pricing strategy. It amazes me to see Google Nexus 5 features being made available at a price as low as Rs.13,999. They have established 36 service centres in India and they plan to provide online support as well. During the launch event of Xiaomi smartphones in India, the officials stressed on getting the Android version updated as soon as possible for all Xiaomi smartphones.
With their Flipkart tie-up, Xiaomi smartphones have garnered 100000 registrations from all over India so far. Xiaomi MI3 smartphone goes on sale on 22 July, 2014 at 12 p.m. It will be interesting to see how fast the Xiaomi smartphones go out of stock on Flipkart.

AddALinkOfCharm set out to find a product that presented the quality, style, the compatibility and most of all affordable. Meaning NOT $80.00- $600.00 and More per bead or charm. A complete Pandora Bracelet starts at 2,800.00 to 6,800.00 easily. It has taken this company just over 38 months to come up with a manufacture that is totally compatible to the Pandora Line of Product!. The charms that are offered on this site are copper based (this material gives the weight of sterling silver) and then they are dipped 2-3 times. By completing this process the plating can be stamped .925. Side by side it is a hard push to tell the difference in the silver pieces. If you are looking for the solid gold charm we do offer a few of the Pandora Line. We can also get any of the beads and charms of the Pandora Line if you would prefer these.
You can also find some completed Euro or European Style Bracelets.. Some with watches, some without and a few of the bangle bracelets. Grab an idea by checking out these bracelets.
Another consideration or thought is that you can start an Italian Charm Watch Bracelet combination. If you already have an italian charm bracelet you can either purchase a watch with a band and pick and choose which charms you are wanting on the watch band, or take your bracelet and add it to the watch. This way you are able to have the practicality of a watch with the fun of a bracelet!
Your choices can reflect what you, your family & friends will call a Wonderful Memory Charm Bracelet! Additionally, you will find the Products, Service & Warranties at AddALinkOfCharm are preceding all the rest! You will find that without guarantee's of product, history or referral of a product line and a company that backs it up you have not a thing to hang on to. AddALinkOfCharm takes great pride in providing the highest quality, service and reach ability for our customers! Even though every one of the Italian Charms offered on AddALinkOfCharm are soldered (Micro-Lasered Liquid Soldered) the designs do occasionally come off.
May you also note that there is a "wish list" for your convenience! There are approx just over 5000 products inclued in this site. By utilizing the "Wish List" this will give you the chance to place your choices aside, to return later and to take another look without starting all over again searching throughout the site. The inventory of products is always increasing! New designs of Italian Charms, Pandora Jewelry and Eruo Fashion Style Jewlery are arriving weekly! Keep Charming and have fun checking out all the various designs and items which can be found!


The Type-R's class-leading excursion and stable structure offer a real-world reduction in power compression. This provides increased bass performance output, as well as a consistent, clean, and distortion-free sound at nearly any listening level. The woofer cone is made of a multi-layered hybrid fiber that delivers powerful and uncolored vocal performance and musicality. These speakers perform with clarity and almost perfect balance under continuous power demands.
The new smaller Neodymium Magnet on the Type-R series allows the total speaker dimensions to be smaller. Not only do you get better performance and control, the compact size makes them easier to install in a wider variety of vehicles. Plus, they are much lighter than typical designs using standard magnet technology.
Traditional speaker frame designs rely on steel making them larger and heavier. The new Type-R series uses a revolutionary HD Polymer frame making the speaker stronger, lighter, and easier to install.
As with many high-end speakers, the Type-R components incorporate Wave Guide technology in the form of a phase plug in the center of the woofer cone. The Wave Guide enhances in-car sound dispersion and helps eliminate phase distortion. Alpine's unique Dynamic eXpander ring stiffens the cone around the Wave Guide, eliminating a big source of distortion in typical designs caused by cone flexing.
The Type-R series continues its legendary reputation for power handling capabilities. One reason is Alpine's patented Linear Drive Motor. It uses a square-wire voice coil that is a large 30mm diameter, driven by a small, powerful neodymium magnet. This unique design provides linear motion over an extremely wide excursion, efficiently turning your amplifier's power into great sound. At high volumes, when other speakers give up, Type-R's Linear Drive Motor keeps on producing high-quality output.
Type-R speakers use Alpine's patent pending Multi-roll HAMR surround, a technology developed for many of Alpine's legendary subwoofer designs. At higher volume levels, a speaker's suspension system typically loses control and becomes unstable. Alpine's HAMR Surround combines both large cone area and long linear cone excursion for deep, powerful bass response.
The Type R tweeter is an entirely new design that provides a crisp, smooth response engineered for the car environment. The 25mm diameter silk dome offers wide bandwidth and tremendous detail. Alpine's new EQ Ring improves the tweeter's dispersion characteristics, providing an excellent off-axis response. The motor structure incorporates a special copper cap to minimize distortion and enhance vocal presence. You have to listen to believe how great these tweeters sound. Plus, you can swivel the tweeter up to 15 degrees to provide advanced custom sound tuning and directional control by focusing sound where it should be, not pointed at your feet.
The new Type R line not only handles a lot of power, but it's also very efficient, making it the perfect match for built-in head unit power, the KTP-445 Power Pack, or a high-powered component amplifier like the MRX or PDX series.
We even took the redesign all the way down to the crossover network. It's 75% smaller than previous networks and uses extremely high-grade components, along with extremely precise trace wire tweeter resistance built right into the crossover circuit board. The crossover's cover slides back to reveal 4-levels of tweeter adjustments: 0dB, -2dB, -4dB, and -6dB for precise tuning. The crossover network is designed to go in-line with the tweeter, while the woofer's network is mounted on the woofer itself for easier installation. The system still is bi-amp ready, too.


Closing Bell: Sensex ends over 240 points lower, Nifty below 10,850; Sun Pharma up 3%.
The Supreme Court has adjourned the hearing of Ericsson contempt plea against Anil Ambani to February 13, 2019.

Tadalafil is used to treat high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension). It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels in the lungs that allows the blood to flow more easily.

The competition takes place as a part of the Streetlife Festival at Leopoldstraße.
Due to the Streetlife-Festival the whole street from the south of Odeonsplatz to the north of Münchner Freiheit will be closed to cars. So you need to expect some traffic obstructions within some radius. That's why the best way to come is with public transportation or with skates.
The next subway station is Odeonsplatz (U3, U4, U5, U6).
