My little boy, Hank, has three heroes: his three big brothers. When they are with us, they throw balls with him and dive onto pillow piles and build endless towers to knock down. They make him laugh like neither their daddy or I ever can. He idolizes them; he wants to be just like them.
There is an electric charge in the air on the days when daddy arrives with Hank's three big brothers in tow. He can sense when they are coming, and he can hardly contain his excitement. The door barely clicks open and he is running to the top of the stairs, squealing; racing to get to them.
His puzzle is complete on the days we have the boys; all the pieces of our family are in place and his world looks as it should.
But three days later the puzzle falls apart; three major pieces of it suddenly go missing, and he has to try to make sense of it in a one-and-a-half year-old brain which knows nothing of parenting plans or shared custody. Nothing of divorce, or of real mamas and step-mamas. I am sure he thinks I am his brothers' mama too—why wouldn't I be?
"We"—our six-pack—is all he has ever known. I do not look forward to the day I have to explain things like divorce to my precious boy. Explain why his brothers have another mama; how it's not me. Why they have another home, too, on the other side of town, or why he will go to a different school than they do.
I don't know how to explain why some mamas and daddies don't speak to each other, even though they share the same children.
And most of all, I worry about explaining why his big brothers have to leave us for half of every week. Because before he can truly understand, he won't understand, and I know there will be tears.
I don't want him to be heartbroken half of every week, his best friends in the world lost to him again. I know it is coming. I can already see the gears turning in that precious little head, wondering; the start of the dissonance.
Lately on the days without his brothers around, his little lip trembles when he sees their pictures. He runs into their rooms, just to check.
We will see them soon, sweetheart, I tell him, soon.
Hank's big brothers have huge hearts buried under their tough exteriors. They play and wrestle and high-five and cuddle and pick up and carry and comfort their little brother. I know they miss him, too, when they are away.
They don't treat him any differently because I am not their mama, too. They love him just like they love each other, even though they don't say it.
Hank has no place in one of their two worlds, but they live for him in our world. They amaze me every day with their maturity and compassion. Their resilience as they bounce between lives; their acceptance of their new family.
When daddy loads them up to take them back to their mama's house, Hank stands in the doorway waving his special wave. He opens and closes his little fist to each of them, saying I Love You, even though the words don't come out yet.
His big brothers answer him with the same wave, their code, their secret send-off. The words don't come out of their mouths, either.
But they don't have to. He knows.
This past weekend, a writing dream came true for me, my first piece was published on Mamalode!
I am so honored to join the ranks of their 1000+ amazing writers!

Think Hong Kong and Macau and the images that flash in your mind are the glittering lights of an expansive skyline, the lure of the casinos , never ending shopping markets, laser shows and tourist attractions like Disneyland and Oceanworld.
However I was in for a surprise when I visited these island states. I had imagined a bustling dynamic financial capital with all the trappings of a modern city. And yet, as I walked around it, I discovered a quaint town with clusters of islands and peninsulas, retaining a charm of its own. The city-state as it is often referred to, was a perfect mélange of the east and west, a pot pourri of tourist attractions and hidden spots and would often transform itself into small fishing villages with floating markets .
1.Tian Tan Buddha statue in Lantau Island .
Nestled in one of the most beautiful and largest islands of Hong Kong is a 34 metres tall Big Buddha in bronze, smiling at the vast landscape around the island. A cable car ride above the seas take you towards the Ngong Ping Plateau of the Lantau Island , where you can get a glimpse of the Buddha from the sky. Climbing more than 260 steps to reach the statue may be an uphill task, but it is worth the effort .It is also believed to house one of the relics of Gautama Buddha. The century old Po Lin Monastery located near the statue is dedicated to the three forms of Buddha – the present, the past and the future.
However the island itself is a showstopper. Ringed in by mountains, it is located at the mouth of the Pearl River and was once part of the ancient trade routes . Colonised by both the Portuguese and the British, Tai Han Shan as it was earlier known as was once the haunt of pirates and is today filled with forts and fishing villages.
The montage of shops selling souvenirs, paintings, artifacts, silks and all sorts of curios in tiny lanes of this historic town lure many tourists here .But there is more to Stanley than just its markets . The beaches here are bustling with water sports and the entire waterfront is dotted with restaurants and bars. Walk around the town and you would hear stories of war or local legends of pirates .
My personal favourite is the quiet 18th century temple , believed to be the oldest temple in Hong Kong, dedicated to Tin Hau , the Queen of Heaven and the Goddess of the Sea. While the official board outside the temple says that it is built by "the sea faring people of Stanley " locals tell you that it is attributed to a notorious pirate, Cheung Po Tsai . As you enter the temple, you notice a rather unusual display – a glass frame mounted with the skin of a dead tiger . A small note says that the tiger was shot by an Indian policeman, Mr. Rur Singh in front of Stanley Police Station way back in 1942.
Taking a tram right up to the Peak of Hong Kong is a great way of exploring the heights of the island. The funicular tramway that started way back in the 19th century goes all the way up 1200 feet and very often you would find the skyscrapers leaning against you as you journey uphill. The distance is about a kilometer and a half as it climbs up 45* from Central District to The Peak. From the Peak Tower Sky Terrace, you can see a 360* view of Hong Kong – the glittering skyline, the harbour lights , the mountains and the plateaus . I personally prefer the night view to the day, but then nothing stops you from going there twice.
The Peak itself is filled with historic tales and it was believed to be a 19th century signaling post for cargo ships that entered the port. The rich and famous who lived there used to be carried uphill through sedan chairs and palanquins until the tramway opened up in the 19thcentury. It is today a tourist attraction with shops, restaurants , galleries and museums vying for space.
As you take the ferry to Macau from Hong Kong, the casinos are the first to beckon you. However , a visit to old Macau is highly recommended. The 15thcentury A-Ma temple which lent its name to Macau, built high up on a cliff is a wonderful way to begin your journey . Dedicated to the Goddess of the Seafarers and Fishermen, Matsu or Mazu, the shrine offers you beautiful views of the sea and its just peaceful to sit here and watch the ships go by..
When the Portuguese landed here, they had no idea about the fishing hamlet. Locals told them the place was called "MaaGok" referring to the A-Ma temple and the name remains till date. The temple is rather huge with several pavilions and halls and is filled with lores and legends .
You do not go to Macau looking for a bit of Europe there. But then, old Macau which was once a Portuguese colony is rather reminiscent of the early 16thcentury. The World UNESCO site – Historic Centre of Macau includes the imposing Ruins of St Paul. A college and a cathedral was built here in the 16thcentury and was later destroyed by a fire .
The imposing façade with intricate carvings is a fusion of Jesuit and Oriental art, such as the sculpture of a woman stepping on a seven headed hydra ,described in Chinese as a dragon. One can climb the staircase leading to the top of façade to see more images carved on it. While many tourists still throw coins from top for luck, several flock to the Senado Square and the Fortress located close by.
hong kong and macau trip i have reserved for family vacation ..when i have kids!!
awesome blog. Wish to visit this place soon. Keep posting please….
I quite agree with you've written and found the crystal cable car ride to the Ngong Ping Plateau absolutely riveting. Apart from the places you've mentioned, I'd like to add one to the list that of the Ocean Theme Park. Though a popular tourist destination and often crowded, I believe it is a must for everyone, especially those who would be travelling to Hong Kong with kids in tow, to visit. Showcasing the fantastic marine world, panda habitat and the rainforest of the Amazon along with rides that would make an child howl with Glee, this is a place where one could spend a whole day at and come out content!

Obamas join Queen Elizabeth and Prince Harry in promoting the Invictus Games
By Daniel Francis / Saturday, 30 Apr 2016 02:31PM
A video was posted featuring Prince Harry and Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom where they received a message coming from the Obamas, where they assert that they will "bring it" for the Invictus Games of 2016.
The Invictus Games are to be held from May 8 to May 12 in Orlando, Florida. It is an event with many similarities to the Paralympics, and it is where armed services personnel with disabilities and veterans will face each other in a wide array of sporting disciplines.

The Invictus Games
The first edition of the Invictus Games took place in London of 2014. The 2016 edition of the Invictus Games will develop at the ESPN Wide World of Sports at Walt Disney World; 2017's edition will be held in Toronto, Canada.
Not every country is invited to participate, as 2014's edition did not feature African countries. The invited teams of 2014 included Afghanistan, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, France, Georgia, Germany, Iraq, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. This year's edition will add Jordan to the list of invited countries.
The sporting event will feature athletics (triathlon, track & field), archery, indoor rowing, cycling, sitting volleyball, and wheelchair variations of rugby, basketball, and tennis.
The Invictus Games seek to bring attention towards veteran men and women so they have an opportunity in running, swimming and playing against their brothers-in-arms. Seeing that not every country is invited to these games, they are a statement regarding military prowess and the current state of world politics, as the main sponsors are the United Kingdom and the United States, where Prince Harry is the creator of the sporting event altogether.
The current approach to the promotion of the games seeks to engage with younger audiences and to create a setting where both British and American governments prove that they have "their head in the game" in a healthy but influential environment, as it is Twitter.

The video has reached a great deal of popularity as the promotion of the event was brought forward thanks to tweets from Kensington Palace and Michelle Obama, sharing the aforementioned video and receiving a broad acceptance from the social media audience. The Twitter account of the Invictus Games also has a substantial digital following.
The first edition of the Invictus games proved to be a success as it ended with a closing ceremony concert, featuring popular acts such as Ellie Goulding, Foo Fighters, and Kaiser Chiefs.

Hoteliers face stress, program offers help
Mental-wellness training for employees can keep hotels functioning
Nashville hotelier Silpa Patel was recently diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety, in part because of stress from the business. She now works as an ambassador/business developer for StigmaZero, an online mental health training provider.
LIKE MANY IN the hotel industry, Silpa Patel grew up in the business, the child of hard-working immigrant parents. And, also like many in the industry, she saw the toll it took on her family. She saw how the stress of the job affected her parents, particularly her father.
"Throughout my childhood I just saw their anxiety get worse," she said. "For him, unfortunately, rather than getting the help he needed he turned into a substance abuser."
Patel decided to face her own struggle to maintain psychological well-being. She has become an advocate for better mental-health training in the hotel workplace. It is an issue that could not only lead to happier employees but also to greater efficiency in operations. According to some experts, it may also reduce turnover in the hotel industry.
There came a point where Patel's father was no longer able to keep up with his responsibilities. It was up to her mother, siblings and Patel to save the family hotel.
Years later, she helps manage a 107-room Days Inn in Cookeville, Tennessee, that her partner's family has owned for years. Her partner, Kalpesh Patel, had taken over the business from his father and was working on expanding it into what it is today, Imagine Hospitality Management.
"I saw the same cycle going on with him," she said.
Silpa Patel said her parents, Gamanlal "Kantu" and Sumitra Patel, struggled with stress and depression as they operated their first hotel shortly after immigrating to the U.S.
The stress affected Silpa, too, as she helped him with the business until one year ago she reached a turning point when she was diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety.
"That's when I got the help I needed," she said. "I decided in order to stay healthy I needed to get involved with mental health treatment."
Silpa worked the anonymous call-in line for the Tennessee Association of Alcohol, Drugs and Other Addiction Services.
"So many Indians I saw calling in and trying to get help, and each of them was tied into the hotel business."
She also works with StigmaZero as an ambassador/developer for the online program that promotes better workplace mental health and balancing work with home life. As the organization's name implies, though, it's also a matter of overcoming the stigma that comes with seeking mental health treatment.
According to StigmaZero, 81 percent of employees surveyed said fear of public shaming prevents people from seeking help. Another 54.6 percent of survey respondents with depression would not disclose their illness to their manager.
"I know nobody's going to go check into a mental health care facility," she said. "If there's something you're feeling, something happening at work, you can log into one of our modules."
Patel has already made StigmaZero resources available on Marriott International's website. She also approached Vinay Patel, AAHOA's treasurer, and other board members in September about providing online mental health training for members.
"Our hotels are going to be affected by this sooner or later. With the ADA enactment laws and regulations changing, disability no longer only affects physical but mental health as well," she said. "As owners, we need to understand that not only does our mental wellbeing matter, but so do our employees as they are the footprints to our businesses."
Removing the stigma
StigmaZero has been available in Canada for some time. It was founded by mental health advocate and professional speaker Jason Finucan along with marketing and sales director Rylan McKinley.
On its website, StigmaZero offers video guides, downloadable resources, individual and group activities and interactive training. It also offers certification for people who complete its StigmaZero Online Training Academy.
"We have become reluctant to express ourselves due to the shame and stigma that is perceived. Emotional behavior is something we should be continuously be talking about." Silpa Patel, Nashville hotelier
StigmaZero does not offer medical advice, Silpa said, but rather shares the experiences of other people who have found help and solutions.
"Once I gave my employees access to this it changed the dynamic of my hotel 100 percent," Silpa said.
For example, Prian Patel, a front office manager for Imagine Hospitality's Country Inn and Suites by Radisson and Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott properties, was instantly interested in the StigmaZero program.
"When I explained what StigmaZero was he was ready to dive in," she said. "He pointed out that everyone deals with big personal challenges, including financial, relationship, and caregiving stresses. Being able to handle such matters helps everyone perform at their best. Employees also need to be comfortable in their relationships with their bosses or supervisors, he says, and employers need to work with supervisors to train them in the best ways to support their employees."
Prian completed the StigmaZero certification training in a month, Silpa said.
Along with tips on how employees can protect their own mental health, the StigmaZero program includes training on how to help guests with mental health issues.
"ADA standards are now changing so they're really focusing on mental health," she said. "As an owner, the one thing I don't want to get hit with is an ADA lawsuit."
And mental health issues cost employers money. Depression treatment costs the U.S. economy an average of $210 billion annually, according to StigmaZero, and employers pay more than half of that cost.
Help for the holidays
In Lexington, Kentucky, Kinnari Patel works at Griffin Gate Marriott Resort & Spa. She and her husband are co-owners of SpringHill Suites by Marriott Atlanta Downtown. They also helped fund the construction of the Oliver Winston Urgent Behavioral Care Center in Lexington.
Kinnari said her husband and she decided to fund the clinic because they are friends with Dr. Abner Rayapati who runs the clinic.
"We wanted to open a business where he could help patients," she said.
Lexington, Kentucky, hotelier Kinnari Patel and her husband helped fund the construction of the Oliver Winston Urgent Behavioral Care Center in Lexington. She said her employees need particular mental health support during the holidays when hours are frequently cut.
She said they encourage other hoteliers they know with properties near the clinic to send their employees there if needed.
"We have always openly encouraged our employees to go," she said. "There is a need, especially during the holiday season. The business slows down and hours get cut drastically. We have helped our employees during the holidays with a bonus or a gift."
Keeping employees happy is not just a nice thing to do. It could also help retain employees at a time when skilled labor is at a premium.
The work/life balance
With hotels facing a shallow labor pool, employers are more focused than ever on optimizing their staff, said Del Ross, chief revenue officer at Hotel Effectiveness, which provides software solutions to help hoteliers manage labor costs. The difficulty in recruiting and retaining hotel workers has led to an increase in overtime across the industry, Ross said.
Previously, overtime accounted for about 2 percent of the amount of hours worked.
"Today we are seeing 8 percent being pretty common, four times the amount of overtime we see in normal periods," he said. "That's a lot."
Overtime can be a positive for employees' paychecks, but it can also become too much of a good thing and wear thin as workers grow overworked and resentful. It can also lead to greater employee turnover.
Del Ross, chief revenue officer with Hotel Effectiveness, a labor-efficiency consulting company in Alpharetta, Georgia, said the business has noticed a possible connection between increases in the amount of overtime worked and turnover in the hospitality industry.
"We are seeing lower turnover rates at hotels with lower overtime," he said. "These are hard jobs. It's nice to get 10 hours of overtime at times when you need it, but if you get 10 hours of overtime every week, that gets fatiguing."
Hotel employees may be getting overworked, Ross said. There is a four-quadrant model Hotel Effectiveness uses to judge a company's turnover rates based on the correspondence between salary levels and turnover rates. On one end is companies with low salaries and low turnover, indicating high job satisfaction, and on the other is companies with high salaries but also high turnover rates, which Ross said indicates a workplace culture problem.
"You have something making your workplace really bad," he said.
While eliminating overtime is not practical, Ross said he believes there is a "sweet spot" for the amount of overtime employees work. In other words, a level of overtime that does not force employees to consider leaving.
Hotel Effectiveness recommends hotel operators try to maintain the 2 percent overtime level.
For Patel, the issue of mental health in the hotel business is not just a matter of economics. It's personal.
The hospitality industry has changed since her parents migrated to the U.S. from the United Kingdom, Patel said. Hotel owners have to change their approach to staying healthy on the job by recognizing their feelings.
The first step, she said, is knowing when to reach out for help with stress.
"We are not running hotels the way we did 30 years ago. We have to change with the times and the expectations of guests that walk through the door every day," she said.
"We are reluctant to express ourselves due to the shame and stigma that is perceived. Emotional behavior is something we should be continuously be talking about."

Legislators writing the adult-use rules don't want to allow the pot gathering spots until another state goes first, and also vote not to share cannabis tax revenues with towns.
AUGUSTA — State lawmakers who are working to launch Maine's adult-use cannabis industry have eliminated all references to social clubs from a proposed overhaul of the Marijuana Legalization Act.
Voters approved social clubs as part of the legalization referendum in 2016, but lawmakers have repeatedly voted for delays in an effort to keep Maine from being the first state to license gathering places for marijuana users.
Sen. Roger Katz: "Go slow and be conservative."
On Wednesday, the committee voted 10-4 to eliminate references to social club licensing in one of a series of straw votes on its adult-use implementation bill. A final committee vote is planned for Friday.
The committee also voted down a plan to share the state's marijuana tax revenues with communities that agree to host a licensed cultivation, processing or retail sales business.
It had initially proposed giving towns a cut of the state taxes, but the bill failed to survive a veto by Gov. Paul LePage.
In justifying his veto, LePage did not refer to the revenue-sharing proposal, but House Minority Leader Ken Fredette, R-Newport, said the plan didn't sit well with Republicans, who believe sales tax authority belongs with the state.
In its second attempt at passing legislation, the committee opted to replace local revenue-sharing with giving host towns the right to assess municipal impact fees to cover any potential cost increases, such as added police protection.
But the committee also voted that down Wednesday, in hopes of getting a bill past LePage, either by winning his signature or at least pacifying the Republican House caucus that stymied the veto override efforts last fall.
Rep. Erik Jorgensen, D-Portland, voted against the impact-fees concession, although he and Portland city officials had expected it, knowing that Republicans would kill the bill if it called for expanding local revenue options.
But other lawmakers, including Rep. Kent Ackley, I-Monmouth, and Rep. Teresa Pierce, D-Falmouth, said host towns will see their property tax revenues rise as marijuana businesses set up shop.
"In some cases, we could be talking millions of dollars of assets," Ackley said.
The committee is moving quickly to reach compromises on hot-button topics such as revenue sharing, personal-grow limitations, consolidation of the administration of adult-use and medical marijuana rules, and social clubs.
On Wednesday, the committee voted to place both the recreational and medical marijuana programs under the state Department of Administration and Financial Services. Each program would have its own rules, enforced by the department.
Medical marijuana supporters have opposed efforts to blend the two programs, saying consolidation in other states has led to the erosion of medical marijuana protections. Proponents of both programs say they don't want that in Maine.
On Wednesday, lawmakers on the committee that oversees Maine's medical marijuana programs agreed to the departmental transfer and some consolidation, as long as oversight didn't end up in the bureau that regulates alcohol and lottery sales.
Medical marijuana is medicine, not an intoxicant, they said. The implementation committee had initially refused to rule out the alcohol bureau as a future home for blended programs, but changed course after hearing from fellow lawmakers.
Out of all of its compromises, the implementation committee has been willing to give up the most political ground on social clubs, making it a symbol of how far, and how quickly, it was willing to compromise with marijuana critics.
The first bill to overhaul the voter-approved legalization law proposed delaying social club licenses until a year after all other licenses were issued, but LePage vetoed it. The second attempt called for delaying social club licenses until 2023.
But Wednesday, the implementation committee voted 10-4 to eliminate the social club license altogether. Katz said he believed that most people who voted "yes" in the narrow referendum victory didn't factor social clubs into their decision.
Most referendum supporters wanted a law that would allow adults to safely and legally buy, grow or use a reasonable amount of recreational marijuana, Katz said. The social club license was buried in the backup literature, he said.
The committee vote doesn't prevent a future state legislature from allowing social club licenses, Katz said. Eighty-five years after the end of prohibition, Maine still uses legislation to try to perfect its alcohol laws, he said. The latest implementation legislation is undoubtedly the first of many marijuana bills, he said.
Like many other states, Maine has had its share of underground marijuana-friendly clubs, and certain parks and beaches are popular spots to use marijuana with different degrees of discretion.
Current law bans public cultivation or consumption, which doesn't give the 36 million people who visit Maine each year a place to use any cannabis that they might buy when here, because most hotels ban smoking inside rooms.
Club advocates have said pot lounges would give tourists a legal place to use the pot they buy here and keep them out of public parks and beaches. But opponents say club patrons must eventually leave, increasing the risk of impaired driving.
A review of other states' marijuana laws and regulations revealed that marijuana clubs remain uncharted territory nationally. Some state laws are silent on the matter and leave it up to towns, but no state has issued a social club license.

Building on the past: McCoy's headquarters takes shape
MERCURY PHOTOS by BRAD ROLLINS
The new McCoy's Building Supply corporate headquarters, shown here under construction in August, is near the old main office on Interstate 35 in San Marcos. Started in 1927 as a roofing contract company, the company has 84 stores in five states.
by BRAD ROLLINS
Long before McCoy's Building Supply grew into the largest privately owned business in Central Texas, the construction material empire outgrew its squat, corrugated metal headquarters on Interstate 35 in San Marcos.
Built in 1970 when the company's sales were somewhere in the range of $14 million a year, the old building was framed by employees including Brian McCoy who is now president of the company started as a roofing contract business in 1927. Brian McCoy's father, Emmett McCoy, took the helm in the mid-1950s and the company started its trajectory of phenomenal growth in 1961 when Hurricane Camille devastated the Texas Gulf Coast. By 2005, the company reached annual sales of $565 million with 84 stores in five states, according to Pro Sales magazine.
"We know we are beating some pretty big odds with a family-run business in the fourth generation. So much of our industry is a family business. It's getting a little rarer all the time, but it's still a family business," Brian McCoy told the magazine.
The 85 employees who work at the main office won't have to wait much longer for better digs. Less than a half-mile up the interstate access road from current headquarters, construction is humming along on a three-floor, 73,400 square foot building scheduled to be occupied in January.
About 30 percent of the new building is reserved for future growth, evidence of the company's intentions to thrive in a building supply market increasingly dominated by giants like Home Depot and Lowes. McCoy's has survived the onslaught of big box dealers by burrowing deeper into its communities and emphasizing customer service.
"We look past the customers as being dollars and cents. You have to create an atmosphere where we are doing business with friends, we are serving friends. We have so many regular customers that we want it to be like coming into "Cheers" — and we get to pull that off in a lot of our locations," McCoy said.
The new headquarters is also evidence of the company's deep roots in San Marcos, a relationship undergirded by tens of millions of dollars in philanthropy. The family gave $20 million to Texas State University in 2000 to establish the Emmett and Miriam McCoy College of Business Administration and $360,000 to help by the 251-acre Spring Lake Preserve on land formerly slated for development as a hotel. The McCoys also gave $500,000 — and pledged $500,000 in matching funds — to fund a new building for the Hays-Caldwell Women's Shelter, now under construction across Davis Lane from the new McCoy's headquarters.
Said Brian McCoy, "Sometimes people in business have to get inspired by others, they have to look at the ways they can give back. I know I was inspired by my parents."

Edition 28 September 2005
C-giant is used for measuring during rallies. It is an indispensable instrument for the
professional co-driver. The instrument has been developed by Corabla after many
years of experience of a co-drivers special needs in his stressful situation. Therefore Cgiant
has all the functions that will make a co-driver perform his duties RAPIDLY,
SECURELY and EFFICIENTLY.
OPTION RESET
TRIP1 TRIP2
-giant
It is basically a distance- and speedo-meter for the car. Furthermore it has a lot of
useful processing facilities for the co-driver. The precision of the instrument is reached
by an effective but simple calibrating procedure. After calibration C-giant shows
correct values to a tolerance typically better than 0.03%.
C-giant can also work as a precision fuel gauge just by connecting the instrument to
the standard fuel sender of the car and calibrating it in a simple way.
C-giant is available with a communication
connector (option) where you may connect a
number of remote display units (C-view), speed
threshold indicator or a computer. Any
combination may be used at the same time.
A complete set of C-giant consists of:
• instrument
• interface to the speed sensor of the car or a separate speed sensor
• documentation
NOTE! Check before mounting the C-giant that you have got the correct parts
for your car.
2. FITTING C-GIANT
2.1. Fitting the instrument
Fitting the C-giant into the vehicle is extremely simple. First you have to fit the
instrument itself. Fitting of C-giant in the vehicle compartment is done with its two
fastening bolts (M4x10) at the back of the unit. The bolts may be exchanged to any
other M4 bolts providing they are the same length.
2.2. Connecting speed signal
The speed signal interface may be of different types:
- Interface for a car with electronic speedometer (PGE-.. different for different
cars)
- Wheel speed sensor, which may also be used on a propshaft or a driveshaft
- Rotating speed sensor to be connected to a mechanical speedometer or with a
universal mounting kit to cut the speedocable (DP013)
Depending on which type is required for your car the speed sensor is fitted in different
2.3. Electrical connections
Make sure great care is taken in connecting C-giant as damage may occur to the unit if
it is connected incorrectly. The system should have negative ground.
• Red cable (power) is connected to +12 volt directly from the battery through
a fuse of about 1 A.
• Brown cable is connected to the negative pole directly on battery.
• Yellow cable is connected to a reverse light so that the trip will be supplied
with +12 volt when the car is driven in reverse. If this is not possible the
yellow cable must be connected to ground. It may also be used as a
programmable remote control.
• White cable may be connected to a remote reset button. TRIP 1 is reset to
zero when the cable is connected to ground even if TRIP 1 is not shown in
the display. No other register is influenced by this. It may also be used as a
• Black cable is connected to the fuel gauge.
Make sure all
connections are done
professionally. The
cables should be
fixed to avoid
damage. Most
disturbances in
function that occur
are caused by poor
connections to the
power supply.
After having carried
out these functions
simply connect each
part together and
you will be ready to
use C-giant.
When the trip meter
is connected it must
be calibrated. See
page 21 and page 22.
When connecting the
cable to the
instrument, see to that the springs both go into locking position.
White to external reset
Black to fuel gauge
Yellow to reverse light (+ when rev) or ground
Red to +12 volt directly from battery
through a fuse of about 1 A
Brown directly to negative pole on battery
Blue to speed sensor of car
PGE-..
2.3.1. Connections for yellow remote control
The yellow cable is meant to be
connected to the reverse light as default
to reverse counting when the vehicle is
reversed. However for a rallycar it is
more convenient to use it as a second
remote control (See page 25). For this
reason the remote control for the yellow
cable can not be connected in the same way as for the white remote cable. It must have
a pull up resistor of max. 10 kohm. This resistor is integrated inside the remote control
from Jemba.
2.3.2. Connections for fuel
The black cable should be connected to the standard fuel sender of your car. If you
remove the standard fuel gauge you must fit a resistor instead of it. This may be
ordered from Jemba. See page 22 for calibration.
3. SAFETY ASPECTS
Safety aspects concerning fitting of accessories inside a car must be taken in to
account when fitting C-giant. The instrument must be fitted in a way that takes into
account applicable laws and regulations and so that the risk of damages in the case of
an accident is minimised.

< 10 kOhm
4. FUNCTION
The panel has three display windows:
• The main display with six figures
• Upper left and lower left displays with four figures each.
The keyboard has four different kinds of keys:
• Selector keys: TRIP 1, TRIP 2, SPEED, TIME, FUEL, PILOT, CAL,
OPTION which will select different registers and display its value in the
main display.
• Operator keys: SET, ADD/-, HALT, +, RESET which will operate on the
value in the selected register.
• Display keys: Arrow up, Arrow down, SPLIT which will operate on the
display mode.
• Numeric keys: 0−9 which will switch to their numeric functions automatically
when a numeric input is required.
Furthermore a BREAK key will always bring you back to a default setting of the mode
The basic philosophy for C-giant is that when you press any of the keys you do not
influence any other register in the instrument other than the one that you see in the
main display. The register in the main display is called the current register. While
pressing a key to select a new register the main display shows a flash text telling you
which current register will be shown next. Some keys have more than one register.
They are selected by repeatedly pressing the key.
4.1. Power ON/OFF
When the instrument is not in use it will automatically switch itself into an idling
mode where the display and the keyboard are totally dark. When C-giant is operated or
the car is moved it is automatically turned on again. If for some reason you want to
have the display turned off while driving - just press TRIP 1 twice. See page 15.

a normal resume function but as an emergency action if you must abort a started
sequence. It is also used to start the instrument if a power failure has hang up the
instrument. This may happen if power is intermittent.
4.2.11. ADD/-
Reverse counting direction (-). Flash text (.nEG.dir) and led indicator shows that the
function is selected. NOTE! This function influences only the register that is currently
shown in the display. This function may be used together with TRIP l, TRIP 2, TRIP
3, SET, TIME, PILOT.
If 'FUEL' is selected this key allows you to view the fuel values for the past 99 km's in
1 km increments by repeatedly pressing '-'. See page 19
In SET mode '-' will be interpreted as a minus sign if it is the first key after 'SET'
otherwise it is interpreted as 'ADD'. See pages 18 and 18.
4.2.12. HALT
HALT will stop the current register from counting. This function is also used to add
several intervals. Flash text (..HALt.) and led indicator shows that the function is
selected.
This function may be used together with TRIP l, TRIP 2, TRIP 3, SET, TIME, PILOT.
4.2.13. POSITIVE (+)
POSITIVE counting direction (+). Flash text (.PoS.dir) and led indicator shows that
the function is selected. This function may be used together with TRIP l, TRIP 2,
TRIP 3, SET, TIME, PILOT.
This key is also used to view the fuel values for the past 99 km's in 1 km increments.
4.2.14. SPLIT
SPLIT will freeze all registers values simultaneously permitting later inspection. All
functions will carry on their counting. Flash text (..SPlit.) and led indicator shows that
the function is selected. Second touch at 'SPLIT' will disable the freeze function and
show current values.
This function may be used any time during normal operation - not in SET or
calibration mode.
4.2.15. OPTION
OPTION allows the user to define which functions are carried out when the two
remote cables (white and yellow cable) are activated. Flash text (.OPtion). See page 25
for definition and pages 5 and 6 for connection.
4.2.16. RESET
RESET will set current register to zero. Flash text (.rESEt.). This function may be used
together with TRIP l, TRIP 2, TRIP 3, TIME, PILOT, OPTION.
In SET mode this key will restore the previous value.
5. OPERATION
5.1. Distances measurement (Trip l, Trip 2 and Trip 3)
When measuring distances C-giant has got three registers for this purpose, TRIP l,
TRIP 2 and TRIP 3. They may be used individually with separate counting directions
plus (+) or minus (-). 'HALT' will stop the current register. 'SPLIT' freezes the values
of all registers. If the measurement is to be done in the negative direction you just
press the (-) key. If the yellow cable is connected to the reverse light the trip meters
automatically switch counting direction when the vehicle is going in reverse.
5.1.1. Pre-set.
If you want to start measuring from a point at a known distance it is easy to set that
value into a trip register. Select the trip to be used (TRIP l, TRIP 2 or TRIP 3), press
the SET button and feed the value into the register with the numeric keys O - 9. The
input is confirmed with the SET key. Now your measuring starts from the set distance.
If you require the measurement to start from a negative value the figures must be
preceded by a minus sign. If you change your mind it is possible to get the original
value by pressing RESET instead of SET.
5.1.2. Align trip to road book
The registers may also be adjusted with an arbitrary value. See section SET. If a
junction is passed at 43.67 km according to the road book but the trip shows a different
value then it is easy to adjust the trip very accurately without stopping the car. Reset
the trip at the junction. Carry on driving and press SET and input the desired value
(43670) with the numeric keys. Finish the input with (ADD/-). When you terminate
the input with the (ADD/-) key that means that the current value is to be adjusted with
the input value. The result is that the measurement takes place from the junction with
the correct value.
5.1.3. Memory register
Second touch of TRIP 1 will select a memory register. It is possible to set, add and
subtract values in decimal format. RESET' will set the display OFF. This is the only
way to get a C-giant or C-view blank when driving. This blank window may be copied
into all windows with the arrow keys.
5.1.4. Automatic measurements on special stages (SS)
By repeated pressing on 'TRIP 2' you will get access to a number of registers that will
give you automatic measurements on special stages. This is a great relief for the codriver
at the start and finish of special stages. By resetting TRIP 2 the automatic
measurement of the length, time, top speed and average speed is initiated. The
measurements will start automatically when the car is driven the first metre . When
TRIP 2 shows its first metre a watch is started and from elapsed time and travelled
distance the average speed is calculated continuously. At the finish of the stage you
just press SPLIT and can then read the different values by pressing TRIP 2 repeatedly.
Except for maximum speed it is not possible to control this function in any other way
than by changing TRIP 2. The maximum speed may be reset to zero separately. See
also below for monitoring time of arrival.
5.1.5. Estimated time of arrival
By storing the length of your current road section (into the register for .EtA.diS) you
can get your estimated time of arrival at either current speed or average speed. This
function is useful when accessing the required speed on a particular road section and
also working out the servicing time available. Select the function by repeatedly
pressing TRIP 2.
You can also input the required time of arrival to give out the required average speed
and your margin in time. This is done by inputting the required time into the register
for .EtA.-A. and reading the required speed in the register for .A.SPEEd. Your margin
in time in respect to your required time of arrival (positive or negative) at current
speed is read in the register for .EtA.Cur. This function is indicated with a flashing
indicator in the TRIP 2 key when you select .EtA.-A, .EtA.Cur or .A.SPEEd. This
mode of operation is aborted by selecting .EtA.-A. and pressing the RESET key.
Action Flash text C-giant shows Shown format

TRIP 2 .A.SPEEd Average speed, calculated for Trip2 xxx.x
and .SS.Hour, unless flashing indicator
TRIP 2 .toP.SPd Maximum speed xxx
Also see page 16 for automatic SS measurement.
5.2. Speed measurement (SPEED)
If you want to see your current speed, simply press SPEED. The speed can be read in
km/h or MPH depending on how you have set up the unit. See page 24 for set up. The
value of the speed is frozen by SPLIT in the same way as for all other registers in the
instrument. SPEED is also used to input desired speed for the PILOT to work with.
5.2.1. Speed threshold (OPTION)
This option is aimed to get an indication when you exceed a pre-set speed threshold.
You may select it by pressing SPEED three times. The value may be set to a desired
value using the SET procedure. As soon as your speed exceeds that value an output
signal is activated.

5.3. Set
As mentioned previously SET is used to set any register to a desired value. The
register to be set is selected by pressing the appropriate key and thus making it visible
in the display. To set the value simply press SET and you will see the figures in the
display flash. This indicates that by using the numeric keys you may enter a new
value. A negative value may be entered by preceding the value with (-). The input is
finished by pressing SET again. The value is then visible in the display.
Adjusting a value
This function will adjust the value of any register that may be set with the normal SET
procedure. Start a normal SET procedure by pressing 'SET'. Input the value to add but
in stead of confirming the input with 'SET' you confirm with the ADD key. Then the
fed value is added (including a preceding minus sign if the value is negative) to the
current register. If the register is to be decreased a minus sign (-) is fed in as a first sign
in the value. In SET mode '-' will be interpreted as a minus sign if it is the first key
after 'SET' otherwise it is interpreted as 'ADD'.
Example: Align trip to road book
You pass a junction at 34.98 km and you want to align C-giant to that value. At the
junction you press RESET and carry on without stopping. Then you press SET, 34980,
ADD/- and your input is added to the current value of the trip regardless of the
distance you have travelled in the meantime. So the trip is aligned to the road book at
the junction at 34.98 km.
5.4. Time measuring (TIME)
The clocks may be used as an ordinary clock or a stop watch. It may stop (HALT),
count up (+), down (-), freeze value (SPLIT), set or adjust value (SET) in the same
way as described for TRIP above. All the features work the same on HOUR 1 and
HOUR 2.
NOTE! if for any reason you wish to retrieve the original value − say if you made a
mistake simply press RESET instead of the SET-key.
NOTE! 'RESET' will reset .SS.Hour to zero if TRIP 2 is selected!
5.4.1. Set time
5.4.2. Adjust time
It is very easy to adjust the time by any value: The same procedure as for trip meters is
valid. For time the format of 24.59.59 is taken into account automatically.
If the clock is running too fast or too slow it is possible to calibrate it. See page 22.
5.5. Fuel gauge (FUEL)
This function will give information about the amount of fuel left in the tank. This
feature must be calibrated before it is used. See page 22.
It is also possible to monitor the amount of fuel over the last 99 km's by using '+' and '-
'. For each touch you will get the "number of km since" to the left in the display and the
'amount of fuel at that time' to the right. This is important if you suspect a faulty fuel
sender - the amount of fuel in the tank should have decreased constantly! It will also
give you a rough idea of the fuel consumption.
Action C-giant shows
Press TIME (select TIME register) Current time
Press SET (start input of value) Current time flashes
Set time with numeric keys 0 to 9 New time flashes
Press SET (store with SET-key) New time
Input correction with numeric keys 0 to 9, Correction flashes
(preceded by a '-' if negative)
Press ADD New time
5.6. Monitoring average speed (PILOT)
The Pilot is a useful tool to monitor your actual position in respect of the scheduled
time. This is important when the road sections are long or some service is required on
the car. By storing the required average speed into the SPEED register the time gained
or time delayed is read in the PILOT register. The sequence is:
Store required average speed:
Unless you set the start value to zero with 'RESET' you set the PILOT register to its
value with the normal SET and ADD procedures as described on pages 18 and 18:
SET procedure:
This input may be done any time before start by setting time to start as gained time.
Then the pilot will count down to zero at starting time.
Set the counting direction of the PILOT register to the desired counting direction with
(+), (-) or HALT. NOTE!! These three keys only have an impact on the measuring of
distance in the PILOT, not on time measurement!. An implication of this is that if
you make a mistake and drive one part on a road section on a wrong road and you
have to go back to the correct section again you just set the PILOT to (-) when you go
Press 'SPEED' (select SPEED register) Speed of vehicle
Press 'SET' (start input of value) Current PILOT-speed flashes
Set average speed with numeric keys New PILOT-speed flashes
Press 'SET' (store with SET-key) Current speed of vehicle
Press PILOT (select PILOT register) Time gained or delayed
Press SET (start input of value) Current time gained or delayed
Set start value with numeric keys 0 to 9 Start value flashes
Press SET (store with SET-key) Current time gained or delayed
back and it will give you the correct penalty for your mistake. Don't forget to set it
back to the (+) direction once you are back on the correct route again!
The PILOT calculates continuously the time gained or time delayed in respect to the
stored average speed. If you are delayed the result is shown with a "-" in front of the
time value. The format of the result is hour.min.sec (hh.mm.ss).
5.7. Calibrate C-giant, distance (CAL)
To enable the C-giant to measure accurately it must be calibrated. The dimensions of
tyres, air pressure and transmission ratios influences the performance and therefore it
is important to calibrate C-giant if these are altered.
If this is the first time you calibrate the unit then convince yourself that you have
selected the desirable display mode (metres, feet, miles....km/h, MPH....). If not see
page 24 for set up.
Then check tire pressure and inflate, as necessary, to manufacturers specifications..
Then you need to know the exact distance of your calibrating distance (this may be
any value but for the best results it should be in excess of 0.999 km 999 feet or 0.999
miles). If you do not have access to an exact distance the local police force are usually
quite prepared to advise you of a number of sites.
Procedure C-giant shows
Select any trip meter or SPEED Selected register
Press CAL Current calibrating constant
Press CAL Text .drivE.
Drive the calibrating distance ".drivE." and the calibrating constant
flash alternatively.
xxxx m
Press SET (start input) ".LEngth"
Enter the length of calibrating distance xxx.xxx
Press SET (store with SET-key) New calibrating constant.
You have now calibrated your C-giant for distance and speed. If the calibrating
constant is greater than 100 000 you should contact your supplier to get a different
interface for your speed signal. The display mode may be changed as described at page
24 without calibrating the system again.
If the calibrating sequence has been carried out correctly and the distance used for this
calibration was correct you will usually be able to measure to an accuracy better than
0.03% (30 cm/km).
Check the accuracy by travelling over your calibrating distance whilst measuring its
length. If all factors are correct the length should correlate exactly.
Even if C-giant is disconnected from the power supply it will keep its calibrating
constant in memory. Note the calibrating constant on a piece of paper together with
information about current transmission ratios and tyres. Then you don't need to drive
to get the instrument calibrated next time you use the same configuration. The value
may of course be changed by using the standard SET procedure as described on page
5.8. Calibrate C-giant (TIME)
The time is set with the normal SET procedure as described on page 18. If however
time is running too fast or too slow it is possible to calibrate time. Select 'TIME' and
then 'CAL'. Use '+' and '-' to set the number of seconds you want to adjust the time by
over every 24 hour period. When the correct number is set you must store the value
with 'SET'. To resume without changing - use 'RESET' instead of 'SET'.
Now C-giant is calibrated. Even if C-giant is disconnected from the power supply it
will keep its calibrating constant in memory.
5.9. Calibrate C-giant (FUEL)
To calibrate the fuel gauge you must first of all select FUEL and check if its shown
value is different when the engine is running compared to when it is stopped. If the
values are different C-giant should be calibrated with the engine running. Start with
the fuel tank almost empty. Then the amount of fuel in the tank must be stored in Cgiant
at the same time as it is filled up. This is done five times during filling. Note that
a lot of gauges give a constant signal from empty tank to about five litres. This is
because the float needs a certain level to float. This causes the C-giant to give a
constant value.
Repeat until the tank is filled up and five values are stored.
If you want to abort the sequence once you have started it − just press RESET before
the sequence ends and the old values are restored.
Now the fuel gauge is calibrated. Even if C-giant is disconnected from the power
supply it keeps it calibrating constant in its memory.
Press FUEL uncalibrated amount of fuel
Press CAL .C.Pnt-1 flashes
Press SET 0 flashes
Input current amount of fuel in the tank. 0
As the tank is almost empty you feed a "0"
Press SET .C.Pnt-2 flashes
Fill about ten litres.
Press SET xx flashes
Feed the current amount of fuel in 10
the tank (10)
Fill about another fifteen litres.
NOTE!! If you get the error indication Ad.-Err it means that the voltage from the fuel
sender was unchanged for two calibration points. Is the ignition switched on?
If you get the error indication Fu.-Err it means that you didn't increase the amount of
fuel between two calibration points.
5.10. Set up units in C-giant
You may select different
units for distance and speed
in a special set up mode. Also
the communication for a
printer (option) may be set.
From factory the unit is set up to the standard setting for your market. If you want to
change units it is important to have your desired units set up before the calibration
takes place. After the calibration has been carried out, the set up may be changed
without re calibrating the unit.
You may exit any time from the set up mode without changing anything by pressing
'RESET'.
You have now set up your C-giant to show your desired units. Even if the instrument
is disconnected from the power supply it keeps it set up in its memory.
The following selection keys and choices are available (the corresponding flash text is
shown within brackets):
DISTANCE (selection key is 'TRIP1'):

functions will carry on their
counting. Flash text (..SPlit.)
and led indicator shows that the function is selected. Second touch at 'SPLIT' will
disable the freeze function and show current values.
5.12. Option
C-giant has got two remote lines (yellow and white cable) that may be used with
default functions or with definitions made by the user. See page 5 and 6 on how to
connect. 'OPTION' lets you define the functions for these control lines. The indicator
in the key is on when at least one remote line is defined by the user. To clear a
definition you just select the appropriate remote line (white or yellow) with 'OPTION'
and press 'RESET'. The default functions are:
• White - reset TRIP 1 regardless of whether it is the current register or not
• Yellow - reverse the current counting direction of the trip meter.
To change the function of a remote control you just take the following actions:
before the definition is
completed - just press 'RESET'
to resume to previous
definition. As the SET and
RESET keys have special functions while defining the remote they cannot be defined
as other keys. To include these keys in a definition you have to press 'OPTION' before
the SET and RESET keys.

6. ERROR CODES AND TROUBLESHOOTING
On some occasions an error code may appear in the display. The following codes are
Speed and distance indicate negative values
If the values indicate negative values when driving ahead the reason is that the yellow
wire is connected to a positive voltage. This is the case if a remote button is connected
to yellow wire and it is quite normal. As soon as the remote button is defined to its
desired functions the default function (reverse) is disabled and the minus sign
disappeare.
At speed C-giant stops counting for a while, shows "C-rally" then works again
The most probable reason is that the pulse rate from the speed sensor is too high. As a
result the calibration value is over 100 000. The solution is to contact your dealer and
replace the sensor interface or reduce the pulse rate to less than 10 pulses per meter
(1600 per mile).
A less likely reason is a bad connection for the power supply (plus as well as minus).

Aboriginal Mentorship Program
Hours: Monday to Friday 8:30a.m. - 4:30p.m.
UC 1003
Phone (Toll Free): +1 (888) 558-3388
Lakehead University's Aboriginal Mentorship Program matches experienced university students (at the undergrad, graduate and post-graduate levels) with Aboriginal high school students from across the Thunder Bay region to create a positive connection that both inspires and assists the high school student in learning about science.
Founded in 2009 by the University of Ottawa, AMP was created in response to visits by graduate students in the Let's Talk Science Outreach Program to rural and remote communities in northern Ontario. The volunteers were troubled by the lack of resources available to the students and schools they were visiting. It was from this realization that the Aboriginal Mentorship Program was created. The Programs' purpose is to increase students' interest in science and school in general, fulfill their educational needs in the form of fun and interactive science experiments and motivational challenges as well as to provide online educational support. The program culminates in a university experience for the high school students including a science fair; campus tours and visits to working science labs.
Aboriginal Mentorship Program Mission Statement
A major hurdle for many Aboriginal students in obtaining their high school diploma is successful completion of mandatory science course requirements. The goal of AMP is not to make every student a scientist, but to increase the high school students' interest in science and school by connecting them with young science graduate students from Lakehead University. By creating a one-on-one connection with a real working scientist, the AMP program strives to provide each participant with the encouragement and resources needed to succeed in an academic environment.
Mentor Volunteer Incentives and Benefits
Volunteer mentors are eligible to be recognized for their contributions to the AMP program in two different ways. They may have their contributions recognized on their Co-Curriculum Record in the areas of Activity Participation and Professional Development. They may also receive a letter of recognition signed by the Dean of Science and Environmental Studies and the Vice-Provost of Aboriginal Initiatives.
Lakehead's Aboriginal Mentorship Program is actively looking to recruit volunteer mentors. If you are a graduate student, PhD student or a third or fourth year undergraduate student with a passion for science and/or education and have a little time to spare for a good cause please contact Lisa Harris, AMP Coordinator, at amp@lakeheadu.ca or by calling 807-343-8528.

Microsoft is rolling out an update to some its Office iOS apps today that includes a handful of new features for the Word, PowerPoint, and Excel iPhone and iPad apps.
Among the new features, all three apps get support for viewing protected documents and Outlook integration. For Outlook, users now have the ability to "send a document as an attachment in Outlook. Or directly edit a document attached to or linked from an Outlook email message."
In addition, all three apps get support for bi-directional and script languages, including Thai, Hebrew, and Arabic.
The updated apps will also now let users invite others to edit a document and configure permissions for those collaborators.
The updated Microsoft Office apps (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) are available on the App Store now.

iOS Mac iPhone Apps OS X
During its unveiling of iOS 8 and OS X 10.10 Yosemite yesterday, Apple mentioned that it's adding 24 new dictation languages, but it didn't specify what those languages would be. Dictation, a feature available on both iOS and OS X, uses speech-to-text technology powered by Nuance to let users input text using only their voice rather than a keyboard or touchscreen.
Apple has gone from just 8 languages (with a few variations for some) to over 30 in Yosemite. In case you're curious if your language will make the cut by the time the new operating systems are released this fall, below we've included a full list of new supported languages and variations by country:
