Cyanophages are abundant in the oceanic environment and directly impact cyanobacterial distributions, physiological processes and evolution. Two samples collected from coastal Maine in July and September 2009 were enriched for Synechococcus cells using flow cytometry and examined through metagenomic sequencing. Homology-based sequence prediction indicated cyanophages, largely myoviruses, accounted for almost half the reads and provided insights into environmental infection events. T4-phage core-gene phylogenetic reconstruction revealed unique diversity among uncultured cyanophages and reference isolates resulting in identification of a new phylogenetic cluster. Genomic comparison of reference cyanophage strains S-SM2 and Syn1 with putative homologous contigs recovered from metagenomes provided evidence that gene insertion, deletion and recombination have occurred among, and are likely important for diversification of, natural populations. Identification of putative genetic exchange between cyanophage and non-cyanophage viruses, i.e. Micromonas virus and Pelagibacter phage, supports hypotheses related to a significant role for viruses in mediating transfer of genetic material between taxonomically diverse organisms with overlapping ecological niches.

Plasmid diversity is still poorly understood in pelagic marine environments. Metagenomic approaches have the potential to reveal the genetic diversity of microbes actually present in an environment and the contribution of mobile genetic elements such as plasmids. By searching metagenomic datasets from flow cytometry-sorted coastal California seawater samples dominated by cyanobacteria (SynMeta) and from the Global Ocean Survey (GOS) putative marine plasmid sequences were identified as well as their possible hosts in the same samples. Based on conserved plasmid replication protein sequences predicted from the SynMeta metagenomes, PCR primers were designed for amplification of one plasmid family and used to confirm that metagenomic contigs of this family were derived from plasmids. These results suggest that the majority of plasmids in SynMeta metagenomes were small and cryptic, encoding mostly their own replication proteins. In contrast, probable plasmid sequences identified in the GOS dataset showed more complexity, consistent with a much more diverse microbial population, and included genes involved in plasmid transfer, mobilization, stability and partitioning. Phylogenetic trees were constructed based on common replication protein functional domains and, even within one replication domain family, substantial diversity was found within and between different samples. However, some replication protein domain families appear to be rare in the marine environment.
Mao, X, Olman V, Stuart R, Paulsen IT, Palenik B, Xu Y. 2010. Computational prediction of the osmoregulation network in Synechococcus sp. WH8102. Bmc Genomics. 11 10.1186/1471-2164-11-291 AbstractWebsite
Background: Osmotic stress is caused by sudden changes in the impermeable solute concentration around a cell, which induces instantaneous water flow in or out of the cell to balance the concentration. Very little is known about the detailed response mechanism to osmotic stress in marine Synechococcus, one of the major oxygenic phototrophic cyanobacterial genera that contribute greatly to the global CO(2) fixation. Results: We present here a computational study of the osmoregulation network in response to hyperosmotic stress of Synechococcus sp strain WH8102 using comparative genome analyses and computational prediction. In this study, we identified the key transporters, synthetases, signal sensor proteins and transcriptional regulator proteins, and found experimentally that of these proteins, 15 genes showed significantly changed expression levels under a mild hyperosmotic stress. Conclusions: From the predicted network model, we have made a number of interesting observations about WH8102. Specifically, we found that (i) the organism likely uses glycine betaine as the major osmolyte, and others such as glucosylglycerol, glucosylglycerate, trehalose, sucrose and arginine as the minor osmolytes, making it efficient and adaptable to its changing environment; and (ii) sigma(38), one of the seven types of sigma factors, probably serves as a global regulator coordinating the osmoregulation network and the other relevant networks.

Heterotrophic bacteria and phytoplankton dominate the biomass and play major roles in the biogeochemical cycles of the surface ocean. Here, we designed and tested a fast, high-throughput and multiplexed hybridization-based assay to detect populations of marine heterotrophic bacteria and phytoplankton based on their small subunit ribosomal DNA sequences. The assay is based on established liquid bead array technology, an approach that is gaining acceptance in biomedical research but remains underutilized in ecology. End-labelled PCR products are hybridized to taxon-specific oligonucleotide probes attached to fluorescently coded beads followed by flow cytometric detection. We used ribosomal DNA environmental clone libraries (a total of 450 clones) and cultured isolates to design and test 26 bacterial and 10 eukaryotic probes specific to various ribotypes and genera of heterotrophic bacteria and eukaryotic phytoplankton. Pure environmental clones or cultures were used as controls and demonstrated specificity of the probes to their target taxa. The quantitative nature of the assay was demonstrated by a significant relationship between the number of target molecules and fluorescence signal. Clone library sequencing and bead array fluorescence from the same sample provided consistent results. We then applied the assay to a 37-day time series of coastal surface seawater samples from the Southern California Bight to examine the temporal dynamics of microbial communities on the scale of days to weeks. As expected, several bacterial phylotypes were positively correlated with total bacterial abundances and chlorophyll a concentrations, but others were negatively correlated. Bacterial taxa belonging to the same broad taxonomic groups did not necessarily correlate with one another, confirming recent results suggesting that inferring ecological role from broad taxonomic identity may not always be accurate.
Moore, MJK, Furutani H, Roberts GC, Moffet RC, Gilles MK, Palenik B, Prather KA. 2011. Effect of organic compounds on cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity of sea spray aerosol produced by bubble bursting. Atmospheric Environment. 45:7462-7469. 10.1016/j.atmosenv.2011.04.034 AbstractWebsite
The ocean comprises over 70% of the surface of the earth and thus sea spray aerosols generated by wave processes represent a critical component of our climate system. The manner in which different complex oceanic mixtures of organic species and inorganic salts are distributed between individual particles in sea spray directly determines which particles will effectively form cloud nuclei. Controlled laboratory experiments were undertaken to better understand the full range of particle properties produced by bubbling solutions composed of simplistic model organic species, oleic acid and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), mixed with NaCl to more complex artificial seawater mixed with complex organic mixtures produced by common oceanic microorganisms. Simple mixtures of NaCl and oleic acid or SDS had a significant effect on CCN activity, even in relatively small amounts. However, an artificial seawater (ASW) solution containing microorganisms, the common cyanobacteria (Synechococcus) and DMS-producing green algae (Ostreococcus), produced particles containing similar to 34 times more carbon than the particles produced from pure ASW, yet no significant change was observed in the overall CCN activity. We hypothesize that these microorganisms produce diverse mixtures of organic species with a wide range of properties that produced offsetting effects, leading to no net change in the overall average measured hygroscopicity of the collection of sea spray particles. Based on these observations, changes in CCN activity due to "bloom" conditions would be predicted to lead to small changes in the average CCN activity, and thus have a negligible impact on cloud formation. However, each sea spray particle will contain a broad spectrum of different species, and thus further studies are needed of the CCN activity of individual sea spray particles and biological processes under a wide range of controllable conditions.

Takuya Watanabe claims WBO Asia Pacific title!
Earlier today fans at the Korakuen Hall saw the teak tough Takuya Watanabe (30-6-1, 16) [渡邉 卓也] become the second Japanese fighter to claim a WBO Asia Pacific title in as many days. The under-rated Watanabe made light work of Thailand's Amin Sor Wangmoo (14-2-2, 11) [อามิน ส.หวังมุ๊], securing a 6th round TKO win.
From the off Watanabe looked the stronger, faster and more talented fighter though Amin, to his credit, tried to fight back and had success as times. As the fight went on the visitors success became less frequent, with round 5 being particularly one sided. The one sided action became too much in round 6 and Amin looked to be taking a beating before being stopped by the referee who had seen enough.
The new champion admitted that he had been impatient at times but managed to calm down and fight more with his head. When that happened he began to break down Amin. Whilst the Japanese fighter was proud of his win the Thai seemed frustrated by his own performance, suggesting that his body didn't do what he wanted it too. Of course part of his frustration will also be from this has ended a 13 fight unbeaten run from the Thai.
Takuya Watanabe and Amin Sor Wangmoo make weight!
Although tomorrow's main event between Hikaru Nishida (15-8-1, 7) [西田 光] and Makoto Fuchigami (23-11, 13) [淵上 誠] has been cancelled, due to Nishida suffering a concussion, the card will stay go ahead as planned. As a result of the main event cancellation we will now see Takuya Watanabe (29-6-1, 15) [渡邉 卓也] battle Amin Sor Wangmoo (14-1-2, 11 [อามิน ส.หวังมุ๊] in the main event, with that bout being for the WBO Asia Pacific Super Featherweight title.
At the weigh in both fighters came in around the 130lb limit. The weight was higher than usual from Watanabe, who looked ripped, whilst Wangmoo seemed to clearly struggle with the weight and immediately took on Fluids after the weigh in.
Although Wangmoo struggled with the weight he did weigh in on the limit at his first attempt and seemed confidence of coming out on top tomorrow, even bringing over former world champion Denkaosan Kaovichit as part of his team.
For fans interested in the card it will be watchable on A-sign.
Takuya Watanabe faces change of opponent for title bout!
Earlier this month we reported that Takuya Watanabe (29-6-1, 15) [渡邉 卓也] would face Indonesian Musa "Andy" Letding (11-5-4, 6) on September 14th in what would be the first WBO Asia Pacific title bout held in Japan. Since then things have changed.
Firstly the inaugural WBO Asia Pacific title bout, as recognised by the JBC, to be held in Japan will actually take place a day earlier, when Akihiro Kondo (24-6-1, 11) [近藤 明広] faces Filipino fighter Jeffrey Arienza (15-4-1,9) for the WBO Asia Pacific Light Welterweight title. That bout was actually announced several days after the Watanabe bout, hence the cnfusion there.
Secondly Watanabe will no long be facing Letding, with the Indonesian being replaced by Thailand's Amin Sor Wangmoo (14-1-2, 11 [อามิน ส.หวังมุ๊], in what looks like a minor step up from Letding. The bout will still be a title bout and should still see Watanabe favoured to claim the title, however he will likely have to change his game plan with Wangmoo have significantly more power than Letding.
The Thai comes in to this bout with an unbeaten 13 fight run, in which he has gone 12-0-1 (9), however his opponents have been several step below the level that Watanabe has been coming up short against, such as Satoshi Hosono, Jaesung Lee and Hisashi Amagasa, the last 3 men to beat the teak tough Japanese warrior.
For those interested we have included footage of both fighters below.


Mr. Schwartz, Bear Stearns's chief executive during the firm's near-collapse, has been talking with Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and boutique advisory firm Centerview Partners, among others, people briefed on the matter told DealBook.
Okay, now, here's the issue I have: Alan Schwartz is the reason Bear doesn't exist today. Remember the three part WSJ article about Bear going under? Remember what I noted about the first part? Alan Schwartz, who is not a trader, vetoed the very trade(s) that would have saved Bear and was proposed by his senior traders. What happened from that decision was that thousands of people lost their jobs, the firm went out of business, and a lot of other, very bad, things. That's fine that he made the decision. I almost don't care that he was wrong. However, it's a huge moral hazard/slippery slope/perverse incentive/etc. Alan Schwartz should be toxic right now.
One can argue about Stan O'Neil, Chuck Prince, or any of the other C.E.O.'s that lost their jobs but got large payouts. (I don't support that either, by the way–if you were at the helm, you should take what you've already been given and neither ask for nor accept any more. You retire/leave rich nevertheless–but boards were incompetent, stupid, or in league on promising these things, so taking them isn't the fault of the ex-C.E.O.'s.) However, these C.E.O.'s firms didn't die and go away and they certainly didn't veto the proposed lifeline with nothing but a body of irrelevant experience to guide them arguing from a place of no authority. These same kinds of hedges worked at other firms.
The common argument says, "C.E.O.'s get paid more because they have more risk." Well the other people at Bear Stearns got less money, are out of a job, and, in this market, certainly are finding it difficult to get a new job. These people probably don't have millions of dollars. Alan Schwartz does have millions of dollars, is out of a job as a result of something he could control, and can land on his feet as a senior deal maker making millions of dollars? Unacceptable and unthinkable. If this situation defines the rule then C.E.O.'s should get paid much less than they currently do and realize that even if they roll the dice and lose when betting with an entire company they will still get a job that pays exceptionally well.

If you manage, or are building a website for a business with physical premises, then adding a store locator is a great idea. The plugins available allow you to enter the details of multiple stores or offices and then make it very easy for your website visitors to find the one nearest to them.
As these plugins use Google Maps , your users will get access to all of the excellent features that are part of that service. This includes the different views and the ability to easily generate directions from a specific starting point.
However, even if you aren't running a website for an online store, these location finder plugins can still be used to enhance the usefulness of your site. By adding the locations of interesting landmarks, places of local interest, or businesses related to your site's topic, you can help your readers find the information they are looking for. If your site features any kind of list or directory of service providers, then one of these plugins can be really useful.
When it comes to adding a store locator to your WordPress site there are a number of plugins available, but today we are going to be looking at the free Store Locator Plus plugin and seeing just how quickly you can add this feature to your website.
For this guide to adding a store locator to your website, we are going to use the free Store Locator Plus plugin. It's one of the most popular store locator plugins available with over 100,000 downloads and a 4.4 out of 5 star rating. There are of course other store locator plugins out there, but this one is a good choice due to its wealth of features, regular updates, and popular rating.
Once you've installed the plugin (Plugins > Add New) and activated it, the features can then be accessed from the Store Locator Plus admin menu item.
There's a lot of information, options and settings displayed on the plugin dashboard, but to get started as quick as possible, jump straight to the Add Location page found under the Locations tab.
From here you can add as much information as you have on the store or location that you want to add to the map. The plugin is pretty forgiving so you don't have to enter all the information to still get a hit. For example, if you don't have the latitude or longitude coordinates don't worry – your location can probably still be found.
When a location is found on Google Maps by the plugin, using the information you entered, the rest of fields, such as latitude and longitude will be populated on your behalf.
Once that page loads, your visitors will be presented with the search field to enter their address or current location, along with the ability to set a maximum distance from where they are.
Once the user has carried out a search, the Google Map will sweep to their location and any stores within the entered radius will be displayed. As the plugin uses Google Maps, all the functionality of this application is available, such as zooming in, changing the view, and getting directions to the stores shown in the search results.
Furthermore, the stores located within the specified radius of the user's location are listed underneath the map, displaying the details that were entered when adding the store. These locations are sorted by distance from the user's specified location.
Now your site has a useful location finder and listing feature to help the visitors to your site find their way to your stores, restaurants, place of business, or other notable locations.
For most users the above steps will be enough to create their store locator, however there are of course more features of the Store Locator plugin.
If you want to tweak the appearance of the plugin, from the User Experience tab, you can edit the search form text to make it more suited to your visitors and your site.
When it comes to customising how the integrated Google Map is displayed on your site, you have plenty of options for setting it up the way you want. This includes setting the start location of the map, editing the map's dimensions, choosing the default map type, and selecting a map marker from the bundled icons.
There are also options to customise how the results are displayed, including setting the results labels that are shown for each store. These settings allow you to add your own label text to better tailor the service to your site, country, and target audience.
The Store Locator plugin also comes with a good selection of bundled themes for styling the appearance of the search form and results pages.
So while the out of the box functionality of Store Locator has everything you need, it can be greatly enhanced for a more personalised and professional experience. The plugin is also well supported with lots of online documentation and the option to access the paid support on an ad-hoc basis.
While Store Locator Plus looks like the best option out of the box, and with plenty of add-ons available for expanding its features, it's still worth taking a look at the competition and see if they better suit your own specific requirements.
As you've just seen adding a store locator to your site is very easy and can be done for free using the very capable Store Locator Plus plugin. This and the other plugins available for adding this feature to your site are pretty flexible and allow you to add the details of any kind of establishment or landmark to your listings; they aren't just limited to stores.
So whether you are running a website for a store, or just want to list the locations of any notable places on your site and them make them easily findable by your audience, using the great features of Google Maps, these plugins can help you out.
What are you planning to use one of these location finder plugins for on your site?
Thanks for the great write-up! Do you mind if I link to it from my site and my social network pages?
A feature to "Center Map At" is now part of the base plugin for users that want the home icon to be closer to a specific location when performing a search.
Several new add-on packs are about to be release as well, including a "user managed locations" add-on that will let the site admin turn on "manage locations" for select (or all) users.
Thanks for the extra info too.
Hi Joe , great article . It really helps .
I'm using SLP together with enhanced map , results and search and i have a big problem . Everything works very well but when results appear they appear only 3 results per page . I would like to change this to 6 results per page but i don't find a solution how to do that . This is the map link http://www.natureslogic.com/store-locator/# , if you could give me a tip how to change the number of results per page , i would really really really appreciate .
You can find the Results setting in the "User Experience" tab, then the left sidebar has a row called "Results" that allow you to choose the results you'd like.
Thanks for help John , but i mean , i want to display 6 results on the page . For exemple if i have 60 results , i want to display 6 per page . After 6 results are displayed to click next and display other 6 and so on .
So the problem is how to show only 6 result per page , the search it's ok if it returns 50 results . Only to be 6 per page , right now i have only 3 per page .
If anyone could help it will be fantastic.

The Absolute Best Solar Watches For 2020 – Reviewed!
by The Review Buddha
We've all had that experience of finding an old watch tucked into the vary back of some forgotten drawer of closet shelf. We may be excited to find such a treasure only to realize that the batteries have long since died. You could get a new one, of course, but it hardly seems worth it. You put it back where you found it, sure that this exact same situation would happen a few years down the line. This cycle could be broken if that watch had been a solar watch.
Now, modern solar watches are nothing like the ones you found in the 70s. Over 40 years ago, solar technology was still in its infancy. Watches had large and bulky frames that needed to accommodate a solar cell on its face. Moreover, these solar cells directly powered the watch, which meant that if the watch went without light then it would die instantly. It would spring back up to life once exposed to sunlight, of course, but analog watches would start where they left off and lose you time. Digital watches, meanwhile, would usually just continuously blink 12:00 when they started working again.
Until manufacturers of solar watches could fix this flaw, solar watches were nothing but a novelty best suited for children's watches with images of G.I. Joe and He-Man.
How ever, like almost all technology in the 70s, great leaps and bounds of scientific breakthroughs revolutionized things. Solar cells became more compact and powerful and, most importantly, rechargeable. Manufacturers could now hide the solar cell beneath the watches face, allowing for newer and sleeker designs. Most solar powered watches of today look exactly like any other watch and come in a variety of styles. Not only that, but by adding a storage capacitor or a rechargeable battery which stores electricity generated by the solar cell. This means that watches can last even without direct light.
Of course, early watch models could only last three to five days on a single charge. As time went on and technology improved, solar watches evolved into what they are today. Today's solar watches are powered by a solar cell that turns light from the sun and artificial light from lightbulbs into electricity, that electricity is then stored in a rechargeable batter. A fully charged battery can power a watch for six months, and that's if it is kept in the dark. Batteries that are regularly charged by being exposed to light on a daily basis can last for the life of the watch in some models. The batteries are constantly charging which means you don't have to worry about batteries running out.
Because solar watches so often use the same battery all their life, fewer batteries are used and thrown away to end up in landfills. Some batteries contain heavy metals such as lead and mercury that can seep out of these batteries and contaminate ground water. Because solar watches only use one battery, they are much better for the environment than watches that need new batteries every three to five years.
Solar watches have become increasingly prominent in mainstream culture over the years, which means that a variety of watch manufacturers now make them. Companies such as Citizen and Seiko who have been making solar powered watches for decades have recently increased their lines, and other manufacturers such as Casio and Timex are creating solar powered watches of their own.
Solar watches are convenient and easy to maintain. However, because of their reliance on light to keep themselves operating, it's important to keep a few things in mind. Make sure you recharge often, This shouldn't be a problem if you are a frequent visitor of the outdoors. However, if you live in an area that has little sunlight during the winter and fall, then most watches can be powered while under artificial light from a lightbulb, though they will do so much more slowly. Also related, make sure your watch isn't hidden beneath long jacket or coat sleeves.
It's also important to remember that while solar watches require light to charge, exposing them to high heat can damage sensitive machinery. That's why you should never leave your watch on the dashboard of a car or under a very powerful light. Also remember, and this may seem obvious, that a solar watch can't charge in the dark, so don't leave it in your pocket or in a drawer.
A solar watch can be a great purchase, but with so many watches in the market today which ones are the best of the best? The answer is not easy to find, since there are many watch manufacturers out there that make a very high quality watch. However, by examining features such as charge time, charge life, style, and many others, a few standouts emerge. Anyone would be satisfied with any of these watches.
The G-Steel line by Casio is perhaps one of the most beautiful solar watches in existence. The design of the G-Steel is bold and features a metal body that protects the crystal face of the watch. This thick watch is for those who enjoy watches with a striking presence on their wrists. The series has both resin bands and stainless steel bands. The metal face also comes in many deep colors to cater to many tastes.
This watch also have many features. It is shock resistant and has double LED lighting on the face and backlit for the digital displays. The time piece itself is analog, with digital displays that tell you the month and day as well as the day of the week. This watch also allows you to swap between time zones and major cities. The G-Steel is also water resistant up to 200 meters (660 feet). Along with these features are more standard ones such as a stopwatch, a countdown timer, and an hourly time signal. The Casio G-Steel series also allows you to set five daily alarms.
On a fully charged battery the G-steel can last 8 months without exposure to light. However, if it's power save feature is turned on, then this watch can last 19 months in the back of your drawer. Clearly, this is a top notch watch that is both beautiful, pragmatic, and tough.
Seiko Prospex Solar Dive Watch (SSC017)
Seiko has been crafting solar watches for decades. They have also been researching and developing other types of watches that don't need batteries to be constantly changed and that will keep precise time for as long as possible. Seiko's watches include spring drive watches that operate with as little power as 25 nano watts (it would take two billion of these watches to power a 60 watt bulb), kinetic watches which use a floating rotor in a magnetic field, and mechanical watches.
Seiko's solar watches are their most popular offering. Of those watches, the Seiko Prospex dive watch is their most known watch. This watch features a thin and stylish case that is elegantly designed to be at home at a gym as well as a formal business meeting. The thinness of the case also means that it creates a more reserved impression. Both the watch and the band is made of stainless steel along with a crystal window that is scratch and shock resistant.
Along with being a solar watch, the Prospex was designed for divers. Which means that its unidirectional sloped bevel that turns smoothly and stays where you set it. This watch also features a chronograph that has 1/5 increments that makes it very precise when diving. Because it's a diving watch, the Prospex is water resistant up to 200 meters and is ISO certified which means you don't have to worry about damaging parts due to water exposure.
Seiko's Prospex also has a lit face for better reading in dim light and can last up to five hours after only five minutes of charging in sunlight. With a fully charged battery, the watch can last up to six months in the dark. It should also be noted that this watch doesn't have digital displays, it is completely analog. This might be an advantage or disadvantage depending on your tastes.
Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster (BN0151-09L)
Like Seiko, Citizen has been crafting solar watches for decades. This brand enjoys worldwide recognition as one of the leading watch makers in the world. It's solar watches are put under the label of �Eco-Drive' which basically means the same thing as solar powered. Like the previous watch, the Promaster is a diving watch that is water resistant to depths of 200 meters.
The band is made out of a soft, durable rubber and, like the case itself comes in a deep navy blue that stand out in a crowd. Featuring an analog movement, the Promaster also has a small face window that shows the day of the month as well as a bevel you can turn to show elapsed time.
The crystal face is also made of an anti-reflective material making it easy to see in sunny conditions. The case itself is made of stainless steel, giving the watch an elegant look that's perfect not only for business and formal events but also more casual and sporty events as well. The face of the watch is the same color as the band, tying together all the design elements of the watch in perfect harmony. The large and thick hands and markings make it easy to read anywhere.
Overall, the watch is structurally sound and tough. It carries a bit of heft on the wrist and feels as though it can withstand a good amount of punishment. The Promaster is also reliable with a Japanese quartz movement that keeps precise time.
The energy cell in this watch will last the life of the watch and never needs replacing. The efficient solar cell in the Promaster can go from empty to fully charged in as little as 11 hours of full sunlight, and just 2 minutes of sunlight is enough to charge the watch for an entire day.
The Promaster is designed with an early warning system to let you know it's running low on charge. Once the second hand starts moving in two second intervals, the watch is about a week from turning off entirely. Once it is charged back to life the second hand will continue to move in two second intervals to let you know it is keeping an incorrect time. One you adjust the hands to show the proper time, it will then begin to move properly from second to second.
Perhaps the most convenient feature of Citizen's Eco-Drive Promaster series is that it comes with an overcharge prevention function which keeps the energy storage cell from overcharging. When overcharged, batteries lose much of the evergy-storing capabilities, which required them to be recharged more often. This is not the case with the Promaster, so you can spend as much time outdoors as you like.
The Promaster is not just for divers. It is also greatly suited to everyday use. It's versatility and practicality make it a perfect watch for anyone that wants to use its rich blue color as a statement piece.
All of these watches are top quality and the final decision of which one to get depends all on the taste of the customer. Each of these watches features a long lasting solar cell that can power a watch for months without light once fully charged.

Q: Error on thr page jQuery(...).on is not a function I am creating my first yii framework project. I am using cgridview in my project. When I load the page an error is showing in the console. The error is coming from a Javascript code generated by cgridview.
error is
TypeError: jQuery(...).on is not a function

jQuery(document).on('click','#items-grid a.delete',function(){

My javascript is
/*<![CDATA[*/
jQuery(function($) {
jQuery(document).on('click','#items-grid a.delete',function(){
                                confirmDelete(this);
                                return false;
                            });
jQuery('#items-grid').yiiGridView({'ajaxUpdate':['menuitems-    grid'],'ajaxVar':'ajax','pagerClass':'pager','loadingClass':'grid-view-loading','filterClass':'filters','tableClass':'items','selectableRows':1,'enableHistory':false,'updateSelector':'{page}, {sort}','filterSelector':'{filter}','pageVar':'items_page'});
});
/*]]>*/

What Kind of issue this is. I have included jquery.js latest vertion in my header. I tried older version also but this error is same. How should I fix this error?

A: You may need to disable Yii's build-in JQuery and use your own version of JQuery. To disable Yii's built-in JQuery put the following lines into your view and load your own JQuery with avoiding conflicts:
Yii::app()->clientScript->scriptMap=array(
    'jquery.js'=>false,
    'jquery.ui.js' => false,
);

Today I'm going to present a write-up of my Oathbound Paladin buff build for NWO:Uncensored! The German crowd might also refer to the build video on my YouTube channel. The main purpose of this build is to present a viable tank for all content with a heavy focus on buffing the party as well. Have fun reading through this!
First of all the Oathbound Buff Paladin works best with the Dragonborn race. Unfortunately it's exclusively available to in the Dragonborn Legend ZEN Pack or by buying the race separately, without the bonus package items. Other viable races include Human (+defense, more feat points) and Drow (extra debuff).
Draconic Heritage: You receive 5% more healing from all spells and abilities.
The main ability score you want to push is Constitution for HP, where you should start with a 17-18 roll to get to 30 at lvl 70. Your second priority should be Charisma and Wisdom where you should reach 22.
Your gear should prioritize: Power (about 40-50k should be base Power for the Power sharing), Recovery (about 20,000) and Defense (80%). Also don't forget to bring your Armor Penetration to the current cap (85%). Your HP should definitely be above 200k better 300k . Generally HP is more important than Defense for a Protection OP. First of all, the class already features pretty strong mitigation self-buffs, which makes stacking Defense less important. And your paragon additionally buffs base power based on your HP when getting hit.
A full "bis" example of all gear is set up in our Ratings Calculator. You can go from there or just min/max for yourself. If you don't have enough Armor Penetration from your pet you can use the Guild Boon.
The guild set is "bis" as it provides a nice boost to the party. All other sets are viable in the following order: Relic -> Fey -> Chult.
There are two options as main Artifacts. The Sigil of the Devoted offers a nice AP boost for yourself while the Lantern of Revelation buffs the group's damage. If you're often running with the same premade, the Wheel of Elements becomes an option as well. But providing your DPS the fire buff needs coordination and most use it themselves.
Based on your stats you have a variety of options for the rest of the slots. Pick something with a combination of HP, Power, Recovery and Defense.
… or "Valhalla", which reduces incoming damage.
Both are viable and one again I'd more look towards stats I need than getting a specific set.
Four Weapon Enhancements are viable. Holy Avenger offers best protection, but is probably not needed in an endgame group. For debuffs go with Frost and Plague Fire. Note that same ranks of Frost stacks while Plague Fire does not, so if possible you definitely want to pay attention to what other support toons in the group are using. If you absolutely don't have access to one of the two (yet), you can also go with Terror.
You have three choices of Armor Enhancements. Shadowclad has some damage resistance utility. As mentioned above the OP features a heavy dose of self-buffs however. So make sure you're not already capped. A better defensive option is Barkshield, which can soak up a nice amount of damage. You can also go with Negation, mainly because it buffs your Recovery.
Your choice of an active companion mainly depends on the gear you have available. The Con Artist is pretty standard. It's easy to gear with ring slots and absolutely viable. Dancing Shield is a more defensive variant, but that one is frequently used by GFs and its debuff doesn't stack. The Harper Bard is adds some healing, but can't proc the Insignia Bonus "Protector's Camaraderie" (see below).
You have a wide array of choices for the other active bonuses. Energon is standard for +HP, after that you can go with anything that debuffs enemy damage or adds healing. Since you're not featuring too much Critical Strike, the Owlbear Cub is a nice, albeit expensive, way to boost personal DPS.
On the Insignias you should prioritize the same stats as mentioned above: Power, Recovery, Defense or Deflection.
Protector's Camaraderie 2 Regal, 1 Barbed Whenever your summoned Companion attacks, you gain 3% of your Power and Defense for 10 seconds. This effect can stack up to 4 times.
Artificer's Persuasion 2 Barbed, 1 Illuminated Whenever you use an Artifact power, your Recovery, Movement, Action Point Gain, and Stamina Gain are increased by 10% of your Power for 15 seconds.
Assassin's Covenant 1 Regal, 2 Enlightened You lose 10% of your Defense, Deflection, and Life Steal, and gain the combination of lost stats as Power.
Cavalry's Warning 1 Crescent, 1 Barbed, 1 Enlightened Whenever you activate a Mount Combat Power, you gain an increase of 10% to your Power, Recovery, Armor Penetration, Critical Strike, Defense, Deflection, Regeneration, and Life Steal.
Shepherd's Devotion 1 Regal, 1 Barbed, 1 Illuminated Whenever you use a Daily power, your teammates Defense, Deflection, and Movement are increased by 5% of your Power for 10 seconds.
As mentioned above, Protector's Camaraderie is useless if you use the Harper Bard. Also only use Cavalry's Warning if you have a legendary mount power. A good replacement in both cases is "Gladiator's Guile".
That's it folks! Now that we've talked a little bit about gear and build philosophy, I'm going to show you the powers and feats next! In case you have any questions or remarks in the meantime, make sure to post them in the comments below and visit the corresponding thread on our message board!
I wouldn't recommend this build. In my opinion every build that doesn't use Radiant on all character slots, shouldn't call themselves "Full-Buff". Also Recovery is not needed and not using 8000 power guild boon is not recommended either. You can easily get your Armor Penetration from your companion. If you go for a build like that, you should prioritize power share above everything else.
Valid stuff. Just one thing: Isn't the source of ArPen secondary as long as you cap at 85% ? Also we'd like to pass on a question raised from putz on our message board. How viable are Augments for an OP since it transfers HP?
I would prefer to see a little more about how to play and what key feats are needed. This is basically a shopping list of stuff to buy, maybe there is a part 2 coming with some of this information. Fingers crosses.
Feats and powers are coming in a second post, yes. Maybe it would have been better to start with that. We'll pass on the info to the author!
No cause the 8000 power from guild boon count towards power share. Everything you get from companion doesn't, so you get your ArPen/Recovery/Crit (whatever you need/want) from there.
If you go for a build that is purely based on buffing power an augmented companion (like Bulette Pup) could probably be viable (haven't tested it tho). But then again you will sacrifice a lot of your own dps, since you will lose a lot of Power/Crit/ArPen by doing so.
You're right. ArPen should come from your pet. It's just meant for the small players, if they can't get it from pet they can use the Guild boon for that.
Cheers and thx for your Comment.
(1) For an OP, Charisma outperforms Wisdom pretty dramatically on end-game performance.
(2) The build over-emphasizes Recovery, which you just don't need with a Justice build as your rotation should be including Divine Call use (it should never be full once combat starts), which triggers the Justice tree capstone.
(3) As Draco pointed out, Radiants should fill every slot on the character-worn gear if this is for full power-share build.
(4) An OP Race list that includes Drow, but omits Tiefling is missing something.
(5) The artifact set list should include the 'Demon Lords' Immortality' (the Orcus gear) set as the BIS DPS set, with possibly a mentioning of the Black Ice set as a cheaper alternative.
(6) A weapon enchant list that omits Feytouched and Vorpal for an OP demonstrates a lack of understanding of class mechanics.
(7) A companion list that omits Air Archon, Earth Archon (with Templar's Wrath, you should almost always be at max HP), and Siege Master is similarly missing out on a lot of potential and threat generation. Harper Bard is also not a realistic companion to place on the list as it is very rare and expensive to acquire for little benefit (you could convert any number of pets to legendary for the cost to acquire). I would also warn people away from the Owlbear Cub (I have a legendary one that is now in my inactive companion pool) given it's broken mechanics and upcoming nerfs (ask any SW who had or uses one).
(8) The mount list excludes the 2 +4K Power mounts, which are the best for Power-sharing, though the ones listed are worthwhile.
I tested a Legendary Bulette Pup (only Augment with 3 Defense Slots to maximize Empower HP) on the Test Server with 3xRank 14 Empowered vs. my Legendary Sellsword with 3xRank 14 Bonding and found more Power (DPS) was generated by the Bondings, though that isn't base Power. Bonding Runestones generated higher Temp HP totals using Templar's Wrath. The bonus HP from Empowered may have resulted in a higher Power-share totals as the HP increase does impact base Power through damage taken, but I wasn't testing for that. As Draco pointed out, you would be sacrificing personal DPS for that trade-off. You are also trading off the Sellsword/Con Artist/Rebel Mercenary defense debuff that improves group DPS (though not to the extent it did prior to the debuff change).
I use a similar build with a 1/3/1 Beacon of Light/Prism/Purifying Fire Justice tree selection, but that is personal preference. I have soloed all of FBI and Orcus in T9G with that build.
I'd go full radiants, guild power buff and Orucs set.
As for enchant, I'd keep my Feyt. and my Neg.
I second this. I hope something similar also comes about for the GF.
1. Guild Boon & Mount insigma & HP mechanic (10% HP => Power) Can share power.
1. I used to run Valhalla set, it's not optimal for OP unless you PVP because you WANT to take damage is the short version to generate more power.
2. BIS is Orcus set. Black ice set doesn't work properly. Protectors set is a cheap newbie alternative. The rest is garbage for us.
3. To properly play an Op Tank think of yourself as a glass cannon dps with the ability to generate a ton of aggro and hp to protect yourself and others and go from there. GF is what you think of in a traditional MMO as a tank; stop trying to gear and play like them. We have to dish out damage to maintain aggro (So we get 500%bonus to that). Get a debuff companion as a main such as con artist/sellsword/rebel mercenary. Then go with earth and air archon. Then add a siege master. That leaves the last one up to you. It can be a fire archon for more dps, energon for more up, crit severity companion, or a velociraptor.
4. Vorpal or fey works best for us. Armor…meh whatever I like negation for extra recovery bit soulforged has its uses as well.
It is the best online guide available for OPs and what I would have written if I had taken the time to post my build, though I came to the same conclusions with my own testing even before the guide was posted. It also walks you through the mechanics (good for new OPs) and gearing up options as well if you aren't already in a full primal set.
One of my posts on this thread discusses some testing I did with the bulette pup from the test server before 12b went live. You trade off a significant amount of DPS (whatever would be multiplied from your active companion through bonding – normally Armor Pen, Power, and Crit) for a 60K HP boost (assuming rank 14 Empowered Runestones). The marginal benefit that 60K HP is about 6K base power once you take damage to trigger the OP class feature, which is nice, but not a trade-off I want to make given the benefits Bonding Runestones on my active companion provides (i.e., I don't have to slot Armor Pen somewhere else to maintain threat). It may be more worthwhile if your companion gear is weak or if you don't have high-end Bondings to slot.
You made a guide, but don't know a very basic aspect of the class? Read your class mechanics….
– protector's cloak? are you serious?
Actually SH weapon buffs everyone on the party. Tooltip of SH weapon is misleading. Power gained via Protector's camaradrie and friendship are not shared by aura of gift. Good for solo dps, not so much for party.
All good points. I didn't know that the SH weapons tooltip was wrong.


Driving in the winter can be anything from a drag to downright dangerous. Whether you're facing a white-knuckle drive through snow and ice, being buffeted by gales or squinting because of winter sun glare, there are plenty of challenges. As far as motorists are concerned, it's the least wonderful time of the year.
Remember that many winter mishaps can be avoided by a bit of forward planning.
Time is of the essence so always allow more time for your journey in the winter.
If it's below freezing, then take into account that you'll need to de-ice the windows at the very least. When you're de-icing your windscreen it's important to do it properly – don't set off with just a tiny letterbox-shaped hole to peer through and tell yourself the other windows will defrost as you drive along.
Icy, foggy and stormy conditions mean the same distance can take longer to negotiate safely than on a balmy summer's day. So if your morning commute normally takes half an hour, allow more time and if you get there early hopefully this will earn you full marks from the powers that be.
When you're parking in icy or snowy weather try to face downhill or on a level surface as driving off on an uphill slope is likely to prove risky; you could lose traction and roll backwards into another car. Ideally, park with the car windscreen facing east. The sun might be weak at this time of year, but it can still provide a useful bit of momentum when it comes to defrosting your windscreen in the morning. You'd be surprised how many accidents are caused by lack of visibility when a driver first sets off in the winter due to not de-icing properly.
This should include a fully charged mobile phone, ice-scraper, de-icing spray, fold-up shovel, warm clothes, walking shoes, a torch, reflective jacket, cat litter (yes really! Keep reading to find out why), water and an emergency snack. If you suspect that you'll wolf down your 'emergency snack' every time you get in the car, make it something you don't like, such as mint cake or an energy bar.
Returning to a snowed-in car is the last thing anybody wants. But as long as it's not too deep there are lots of little tricks for getting yourself out. Clear as much snow as you can from in front of the wheels with your shovel. If you haven't got one then improvise with anything handy such as the ice scraper.
And then this is where the cat litter comes in. It's great for providing grip for your tyres, so if you've got some, now is the time to scatter it around. If you don't, then try using the footwell mats or find some leaves, twigs or small stones so that your wheels can find some traction. Hopefully you'll soon be on your way!
Icy conditions can be very dangerous and make you feel as if nerves of steel are required just to drive to the supermarket. If you do need to venture out, stick to gritted roads as much as possible. Keep your speed down and drive slowly. Let your braking, acceleration and steering all be gentle and unhurried. Fresh snow offers more grip than ice so try not to follow the tyre marks of the vehicle in front of you on the road.
Any driver with an ounce of sense knows they should drive carefully on icy roads. But when the day has warmed up and much of the ice seems to have melted, it's easy to get caught out. Be aware that there can still be ice in places the sun hasn't been able to get to yet such as under bridges, under the shadow of trees, or where there are dips in the road.
If the weather is severe, try to do what the police always advise and avoid any unnecessary journeys.

Top 5 offline navigation apps for drivers
Top five best navigation apps for iPhone and Android devices
Long gone are the days of unfolding giant maps in the front seat and trying to first pinpoint your current location and second pinpoint your destination. Almost all motorists these days are in possession of either a satellite navigation system or a smartphone featuring a suitable alternative. Plus, with the advent of Google and Apple Maps, finding the quickest routes and the latest traffic information has never been easier.
Of course, these apps work magnificently in built up areas where mobile data is easily accessible. But head out into the wilderness (ok, maybe just the middle of the countryside), and trying to find a signal can be near impossible. And, while these apps offer limited offline support, they are far from ideal. We take a look at five of the best navigation apps for iPhone and Android devices.
1. OsmAnd
Built using the highly renowned OpenStreetMap (OSM) data, OsmAnd Maps enables you to store all map information on your device (or memory card) enabling complete offline use. In addition to not using any of your data, the application features such attributes as voice and optical navigation, driving, cycling, and pedestrian modes, and includes points of interest. Finally, the maps are updated once a month, thereby ensuring directions will always be up-to-date.
2. HERE WeGo
A second free app offering offline maps & navigation is HERE WeGo. Offline maps of more than 100 countries from around the globe are available for download, while the application even delivers transport information for 1,300 cities.
3. MAPS.ME
With more than 50 million downloads from around the globe, MAPS.ME offers a complete range of offline map requirements. Like OsmAnd, MAPS.ME takes its data from OpenStreetMap, meaning maps are updated on a regular basis to ensure the most recent information. What sets MAPS.ME apart from the others, however, is the exceptional detail afforded to points of interest, hiking trails, and more.
4. Navmii World
iPhone, Android and Windows Phone
With free access to maps of 197 countries, it's no surprise that Navmii World is one of the leading offline map options for motorists. Featuring voice-guided navigation, this is a practical and versatile application that ensures up-to-date maps regardless of destination. Best of all, it's an app that's also available for Windows Phone users in addition to iPhone and Android.
5. Sygic
Our final recommendation is Sygic. More than 200 million motorists have downloaded this particular navigation app and, with the ability to connect to in-car infotainment systems, it's no surprise that it represents a fantastic alternative to Google and Apple Maps.
The best way to determine the offline GPS app that is best for you is to simply download them and give them a try. Each option is simple to use and will be able to provide you with all the data you need to ensure your journeys are quick, fuel-efficient, and without issue.

Ex-Delaware lawmaker John Atkins sentenced in strangling of woman
Taylor Goebel
A former Delaware representative pleaded guilty to multiple charges Friday morning for contacting a woman he assaulted in July.
John Atkins, 48, of Millsboro entered a guilty plea to assault in the third-degree and three counts of breach of release.
The resolution was reached after prosecutors "thoroughly reviewed available evidence and consulted with the victim, who agreed to it," Attorney General spokesperson Julia Lawes wrote in an email.
Atkins was sentenced to 22 days in prison and one year in probation but will be held in prison until an electronic GPS device is assigned to him by the Department of Correction in order to monitor his location and ensure he has no further contact with the victim, Lawes stated.
By law, the plea prohibits Atkins from possessing firearms for five years. Delaware State Police will seize any firearms he possesses.
"This result provides protection and some certainty for the victim and, at the same time, deploys available resources to address Atkins' behavior," Lawes stated.
Atkins must also undergo substance abuse and mental health evaluations, follow any recommended treatment and attend domestic violence counseling, according to Lawes.
Breach of release
On July 20, the woman reported a harassment incident to the Lewes Police Department.
Police found that Atkins was texting, calling and emailing the woman at her place of employment. Those actions violated his conditions of release from the Sussex County Court of Common Pleas, stemming from charges made by Delaware State Police on July 12, Lewes police said.
BACKGROUND:Former Delaware lawmaker John Atkins arrested twice in less than a week: police
BACKGROUND:Former Delaware lawmaker charged again after contacting victim he strangled: Police
Atkins voluntarily turned himself in and was charged with harassment and breach of release. He was released on his own recognizance with a future court date set, police said.
Victim: Atkins squeezed her neck
According to a police affidavit of the previous arrest, the woman told investigators she and Atkins were at the beach July 12 at the Indian River Inlet near Bethany Beach when Atkins became angry over a text message she got from her ex-boyfriend.
She said they began arguing, and Atkins put his hands on her neck and squeezed until she couldn't breathe and that she was hit under the eye while trying to get away, according to the affidavit. After the altercation, she took an Uber home, only to find Atkins waiting for her. She said they argued again and that Atkins hit her hat, causing it to hit her nose, the affidavit continued.
BACKGROUND:Former Delaware lawmaker arrested on domestic violence charges again
Atkins was arrested and charged July 12 with strangulation, a felony, as well as third-degree assault, which is a misdemeanor.
According to Delaware State Police Detective Alan Bluto's affidavit, there was a noticeable red mark under the woman's eye from the July 12 incident, as well as red marks around her neck. Atkins denied putting his hands on the woman's neck but said he may have put his hands on her in self-defense, according to the affidavit.
History of accusations
Atkins has been repeatedly accused of violence against women.
In 2016, he was charged with offensive touching and criminal mischief after a domestic dispute. Those charges were dropped for insufficient evidence.
In 2014, Atkins was ordered to stay away from his estranged wife and their children after she complained of erratic and abusive behavior.

Hawk Percival and Friends
An eclectic amalgamation of classic rock and feelings in the night, The Hawk believes that sound is an emotional experience and a union of the elements, using music as a tool for connection.
Dylan Rodrigue
Dylan Rodrigue's music has always been a journey, exploring all genres and musical forms. Dylan was raised in small yoga-based intentional community in Northern California . . . a very quiet and peaceful place with a quiet and peaceful music scene. This all changed at the age of seven when Dylan's father snuck a copy of Who's Next into his bedroom. This sparked a passionate exploration of music from the Beatles to Fugazi, the Pixies, Elliott Smith and Vic Chesnutt. He began playing guitar and writing his own songs at age 8, studied classical guitar in high school, and eventually obtained a degree in songwriting and avante-garde composition at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts).
SUMEAU
SUMEAU (pronounced sumō) wants you to join their cult. Founded by Chris Sousa ("Su) and Kat Primeau ("meau"), the LA-based dream pop band creates melodic mantras reminiscent of '60s psychedelia and surreal soundscapes of surprising simplicity and scope. Since recruiting members Molly Dworsky, Ian McAllister, Dan Macken, Julia Chalker, Harrison Lee, Alex Keenan, and George Chammas, the 9-piece has created waves of sound greater than the sum of their parts at venues such as The Satellite, SoFar Sounds, Jam In The Van and Wisdome.LA.
Rubaiyat is a four piece alt-rock band based out of Los Angeles, CA. Singer/songwriter Joel Heinrich has teamed up with his friends to play earnest love songs in the key of Chad Vangaalen. While lyrically exploring the raw emotional side of relationships Rubaiyat avoids the pitfalls of sentimentality or angst. From Out in the Night's rowdy "drunk on the moon" lover stumbling home for romance in the backyard to Bloody Gum's mournful grooves, Rubaiyat captures the spectrum of our emotional love lives.
