I needed to get new garage door hinges because mine were wore down. I didn't want to pay anyone to replace them for me because I knew I could do it myself with the help of a friend. I just had to find the garage door hinges that I needed.
I went online and typed in the type of garage door I have and hinges. I found several websites that had just what I needed for sale. I clicked on the first one I found and looked to see what the price of the hinges were. I saved the website so I could come back to it later, because I wanted to check out prices on other websites. I clicked on a few other websites that popped up in my search and checked out their prices and their shipping fees too. I tried to figure out which one would get here the quickest and had the best price. That's when I decided to check local big box home improvement stores to see if they had what I needed in stock. I went to the Lowe's website and also the Home Depot website to see if they had the hinges I needed. I was able to find the hinges on the Home Depot website and they had them in stock. I decided that I would just drive to the store and pick them up. Their prices were around the same amount as other retailers online and this store was the closest to me.
I went to the store and bought the hinges I needed. I called a friend of mine to see if they were available the following weekend to help me install them. However, once I got home and realized how easy it would be to do, I just did it myself.

Of all of the things that can go wrong with your garage door, springs typically malfunction at the earliest point in time.

Can you install a garage door opener by your self?
I found a cheap easy to install one in walmart, I'm wondering if i can install it by my self?
does anyone have any experience with installations?
Admin: You just said in your question that you found a cheap, easy to install unit at WalMart, so I guess it should be easy to install. Actually, if you are at all familiar with tools and have a modicum of mechanical ability and can read and follow instructions you should be able to do this without a contractor. If you have a standard height ceiling in your garage you will need the drop down bracket that should be included in the kit. Be sure it's all there, as some of the CHEAPER units don't include it or some of it may be missing. Check to be sure everything that should be there is there before starting installation and if possible it wouldn't hurt to have a friend around for holding this and handing you a tool if you're up on the ladder, (which you will need), and are already holding something else up. Measure carefully, and be sure to wire the switch and box correctly. Also lining up the safety eyes is critical to proper operation. You should select a mounting point that's out of the way of items that need to be stored, or used frequently and put away.
Question about garage door opener?
We have recently installed a 7′ garage door. We want to install an automatic door opener. Our ceiling is 10′ high. Need ideas on how to install opener.
Admin: The instructions for the opener will give you details for the installation, but basically, you need to install either metal angles with holes already in them or 2 x 4's vertically from the ceiling to support the tracks. You will need 1/4-20 or 5/16-18 nuts & bolts if you use the metal angles or use the same nuts & bolts, only longer, for the 2 x 4's, or use wood screws. You can get the metal angles at just about any hardware store.
Garage Door Radiant Heat Shield Installation?
So.. when I do install… do I install within the panel (minimal air gap, or as a blanket on the outside of the door?
Admin: They make kits for this. Call the person who installed your door or any reputable installer.
How can I get into a garage I own?
So about three weeks ago my garage door stopped working. I need to know who to call to get this taken care of. Will a locksmith do it?
Admin: A garage door repair company (installation/repair) will be able to get in. They will probably drill a hole toward the top of the door and reach in with a long tool to grab the release rope. When they are done they will sell you a plug or a manual release that you can get the door open (with a key) if this ever happens again. You can do the same thing yourself.

Former Student Warns of 'Predatory' Atheist College Profs
Samantha Sullivan's parents didn't feel the need to hector or lecture her before she headed off to college. She was one of those kids who wasn't in much trouble and held on to her Christian faith throughout her childhood years and throughout high school. But when she arrived on campus, things took an unforeseen and unexpected turn.
'It's Pretty Scary': Colleges are Claiming Souls at an Alarming Rate — but There is Still Hope
In one of her very first classes, a smooth-talking professor came out of the gates swinging, challenging the existence of God by calling the very idea "bull****." Sullivan, who now works at TheBlaze Media, says it wasn't long before she completely succumbed to the peer pressure and identified as an atheist.
"I remember my mom, Myspace was a big thing and I remember changing my religion to atheism. She saw the status change on my profile but I'm not sure she took it too seriously," Sullivan explained.
She went on to explain, in an interview with Faithwire earlier today, there wasn't any pushback from the students, including herself. The professor's ongoing assault on Christianity was mostly allowed to stand unchallenged because these incoming freshmen were, understandably, intimidated. This unbalanced assault against people of faith is why Sullivan labels professors who push an ideology 'predatory' as opposed to merely ideological.
"I find it predatory because these adults are standing in front of 18-year-olds in a position of power wielding their authority and they're very convincing. They have decades of intellectual experience on these students. They're supposed to teach people how to think not what to think. They know they're in this position and I just find them to be very irresponsible with it," she said.
Once she delved into the world of full-fledged atheism she said she felt completely lost during that period of time. "I was binge drinking, I was basically failing my classes, and it just wasn't who I was. My family was worried about me, but I don't think my mom realized what had happened," she explained.
Eventually, God opened her eyes and called her back. It wasn't any single moment, fact, or specific argument that turned her around – she just knew.
"I just remember being at my low point and thinking this can't continue. The next day I woke up, and I didn't tell anyone about anything, and I went to church by myself. I remember crying my eyes out because I was so ashamed of that one or two year period of my life. It was very emotional for me to come back (to faith). I remember having K-LOVE on in my Mini-Cooper all the time and so that's what really drew me back in," Sullivan says. As for any parting advice for students getting ready to enter college and for parents of students about to enter college, Sullivan says it's critical to stay engaged, even if you think your child has a solid faith.
"What I would say to parents is just stay involved. Even if your kids seem strong on the surface, always check in with them. Get to know their professors. Check their tweets. There are so many people on Twitter every day now and you can get a sense of how they think. Try and be involved and have the really tough conversations and give them mental workouts before they go so they can defend themselves."

I had a chance to wear my latest refashion today, and while I feel I have to channel my inner cowgirl for this look, I must admit it was super comfy. While I am not sure how much this look is me, I decided to go with it. I recently found this New York and Co Maxi Dress for $2.99 at a thrift store. I tried it on and to say the bust portion was small is an understatement. I am not large in the bust at all and this barely covered me...at all...so I knew it needed a new life.
I thought about how I could add a new top to keep it a dress, but eventually I decided to make a quick and easy change.
First, I cut off the top of the dress until the fabric in the front was even with the top of the back.
Then I serged the front portion of the skirt so there would not be any fraying.
Last, I simply folded the new skirt waistband in half and stitched it down near the top edge using elastic thread in the bobbin. I was going to also stitch near the bottom edge of the new waistband, but ended up keeping it fairly rough inside and just tacked it down in a couple places to keep it in place. And that was it.
It has a nice full ruffle on the bottom and looks somewhat dressed up all while having the ease of denim. The top I paired it with was nice and light and I was able to wear this to the park today in 90 degree temps and stay comfortable. Plus, I could wear it with flat sandals, which made running after the little hooligans much easier.
I would say I am happy to have added this versatile skirt for under $3 and only a little of my time. I am definitely on a refashion kick this week...more items to come soon as well as a free pattern.
Great remake on this skirt - I am sure you will get a lot of positive comments with it styled like this.


You pilot a mecha (giant robot) inspired by an Egyptian deity (Anubis, Horus or Sekhmet; each has its own pecualiarities and exclusive weapons) and fight against other mechas in various arenas (full of buildings, elevated passegeways, underground areas, etc.) with egyptian textures and names.
In the single-player campaing, each arena offers 20 missions of progressive difficulty (more weapons become available in later missions, but you may have to face up 5 enemies at once).
Some missions are fought by night. Sometimes you have one or two teammates (controlled by the computer).
Each team (even if composed by a single mecha) has a single supply ship dropping equipment at request. Extra equipment can also be found scattered in the arena.
The supply ship may also drop "towers". They become active after 30 seconds and if there are enough of them around (no more than four can be placed in the same whereabouts) a countdown will begin: after five minutes the team will win (in the meantime, the opponents may destroy enough towers to nullify the countdown).
Each team can win (or lose) either with towers or by destroying every mecha of the other team thrice.
Destroyed mechas respawn, but the third time one is killed, it is out of the game; in multi-player games he lingers around as a "ghost" (unable to interact with anything, but may still be used as a scout by the team).
Up to six mechas can enter the arena, but there are always two teams: Ra (yellow) and Osiris (blue).


Southern Europe is well known as the lavender center of the world. From the western edges of Portugal and Morocco, east through Spain, the lavender fields of Tuscany and on to Greece, Turkey and beyond, every resident is familiar with the lavender plant. There, under the dry, clear Mediterranean skies, various lavender species grow wild upon the hills, surviving and thriving without the aid of gardeners, irrigation or fertilizer.
Throughout southern Europe, residents have thoroughly and completely adopted the lavender plant as their plant. But lavender isn't just a plant of the wild European hills; it is also plant of almost every garden. Gardens are places where plants from almost any origin can be deposited. Yet in Europe the same lavender plant that grows on the hillsides, also grows in almost every garden. I find this intriguing.
Lavender plants are medium sized, rounded or slightly sprawling plants and, of course, are drought adapted. Their distinctive grey-green leaves are strongly aromatic with a high oil content. The fragrance is resinous, and is released either when the foliage is brushed or a warm, sunny days – days common to the region. Wild lavender is also an important source of nectar for bees and other pollinators.
Here in California our climate is nearly a mirror of southern Europe, especially the area around the Mediterranean Sea. But there are no lavender plants growing wild anywhere upon California's hillsides or in our canyons.
In California we have our own version of lavender plants. We call them sages, or salvias.
Wild sage is to California, what lavender is to southern Europe. Same size plants; same foliage color; same flower color; same bloom period; same tall flower spikes held well above the foliage; same resinous, aromatic leaves and same significance to pollinators. Without a doubt, a walk through the native landscape of southern California will reveal several native sages to nearly any observer.
From my experience, California's sages and Europe's lavenders fill the same niche. They are even genetically linked, both brethren of the same family: Lamiaceae.
If sages are to California what lavenders are to Europe why is it that Europe's gardeners have so completely embraced lavenders, yet California's native sages are almost completely absent from our local gardens?
Orange County's local sages include some very garden worthy candidates: cleveland sage (Salvia clevelandii ), purple sage (Salvia leucophylla ), black sage (Salvia mellifera) and white sage (Salvia apiana). There is a good chance that if your house and garden wasn't where it is, there would be at least one of these native sages growing in its place.
California's sages are incredibly carefree plants. In fact, about the only thing a native sage doesn't like is an overly attentive gardener. Since sages belong here, they can pretty much be left alone, needing little irrigation or fertilization; over watering or over fertilizing being the primary reasons for garden failure. Plant California's sages now and provide them with a little extra water, just to get them going and then leave them alone, much like lavender planted in a garden in Tuscany. By spring you will have a nice size plant in full bloom – every bit as beautiful and fragrant as its European counterpart.
Cleveland sage may be the most garden worthy of all our local sages. A shrub roughly 3–4 feet in size, with flowering spikes rising another foot during the spring and summer months, holding masses of blue-violet to lilac-blue blooms that are as well-loved by hummingbirds and native pollinators. There's nothing to compare to the aroma downwind from a patch of Cleveland sage. To me it is the fragrance of California.
Cleveland Sage accepts a range of garden environments, growing in hard clay that receives no summer water or on slopes that are watered somewhat regularly. In all cases, like lavenders, sages prefer full sun. Also like lavenders, pruning is best done in stages: a third in the fall, and a bit more in late winter. This keeps the size of the plant manageable and the plant bushy and attractive.
In California we have our own version of lavender plants. We call them sages, or salvias. I hope you'll try one...or two...or three.
Question: The leaves of my new Mandevillea vine have suddenly yellowed and several have fallen off. Is this normal at this time of year?
Answer: Yes. Mandevillea are sub-tropical plants and dislike our cool winter months. Depending upon your specific location and the plants placement in the garden it may yellow just a bit or, in some cases, it may even lose the majority of its leaves during the winter months. Do not over-water it during this resting period and it will return to its glory again next spring.

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is relevant a narrative clinical proof to compare the effectiveness of online cognitive behavioral therapy, delivered complete a Interlacing location and augmented with therapist-moderated, weekly online chat sessions, to face-to-face aggregation therapy for the treatment of bulimia nervosa. "For individuals with bulimia nervosa - an eating chaos characterized by binge eating and purging behaviors - face-to-face cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT has distant been considered the gold guideline of treatment, " said Cynthia M. Bulik, Ph.D., William and Jeanne Jordan Distinguished Professor of Eating Disorders and employer of the UNC Eating Disorders Program, who is the study's principal investigator.
Women who chalk up bulimia in pregnancy posses extended symptoms of anxiety and depression compared to pregnant women without eating disorders. A dissimilar announce from the Norwegian Institution of General Health (NIPH) shows that they and compass lower self-esteem and are aggrandized dissatisfied with being and their bond with their partner. The findings come from the world's inceptive considerable population discover of psychosocial factors in bulimia (bulimia nervosa) during pregnancy. Bulimia in pregnancy can hog deliberate consequences for both gross and child. The cutting edge recite includes another than 41 000 pregnant women who responded to a questionaire from the Norwegian Immeasurable and Descendant Peruse (MoBa) from the NIPH.
The Western Psychiatric School and Clinic of UPMC is participating in a dewy peruse comparing the effectiveness of online cognitive behavioral therapy, delivered terminated a Lacework aim and augmented with therapist-moderated, weekly online chat sessions, to that of face-to-face bevy therapy for the treatment of bulimia nervosa-an eating chaos characterized by recurrent and frequent episodes of exorbitant overeating and purging behaviors. According to the Governmental College of Intellectual Health, enclosing one in a hundred mortals suffer from the disorder. "For bourgeois with bulimia, frequent face-to-face cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, has lingering been considered the gold guideline of treatment, " said Marsha D.
Ghrelin is a peptide, especially produced in the stomach, however further form in brief amounts in the brain. It is manifest to induce drink intake by increasing feelings of famine and the motive to eat. A inexperienced glance at has examined ghrelin's role in addictive behaviors. Findings instruct that variations in the genes producing ghrelin and its receptor are exceeding frequent in individuals considered enormous drinkers. Results testament be published in the Dec affair of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research and are currently available at Early View. "Previous test had shown that ghrelin levels in blood plasma are altered in addictive behaviours such as alcohol dependence and compulsive overeating, " said JÃ rgen Engel, professor of pharmacology at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg.
Male eating disorders: how still cook we in fact understand? Extreme weekend's transmission of BBC2's Revealed... Manorexia highlighted the passage of masculine eating disorders. It's a adult that's not raised repeatedly enough, affirm some experts. After all it's not atypical to scan approximately women who gain eating problems, however we seldom hear about how disorders such as anorexia and bulimia act on men. 'Eating disorders are even remarkable among men, ' explains Dr Peter Rowan, consultant psychiatrist at Cygnet Infirmary Ealing's Eating Disorders Unit. 'The incidence in males over the date of puberty who suffer with anorexia, for instance, is encompassing 10 percent or so.
A fatty acid form in quantity in olive oil and other "healthy" unsaturated fats has even another benefit: it helps grip the protest pleased to prolong the duration between meals. A brand-new recite in the Oct Cell Metabolism, a album of Cell Press, reveals that once this type of fat, confessed as oleic acid, reaches the intestine, it is converted into a lipid hormone (oleoylethanolamide, or OEA) that wards off the following round of hunger pangs. The researchers said it may be the antecedent discription of an ingredient in provisions that directly provides the unfinished materials for a hormone's production. The findings in rats may takings perspicacity into the precise dietary makeup of fat and protein for optimal hunger control, the researchers said.
Fatty foods may not be the healthiest diet choice, however those opulent in unsaturated fats - such as avocados, nuts and olive oil - compass been erect to play a pivotal role in sending this relevant sign to your brain: brick wall eating, you're full. A modern glance at by UC Irvine pharmacologists shows that these fats trigger industry of a compound in the little gut that curbs hunger pangs. This discovery, the researchers say, points toward current approaches to treating obesity and other eating disorders. Daniele Piomelli, the Louise Turner Arnold Stool in Neurosciences, and his colleagues hog studied how a fat-derived compound called oleoylethanolamide regulates hunger and intent weight.
At dinner time, parents testament repeatedly impart their youngster to disinfected their plate. However, that experienced maxim might surpass kids to eat and than they need, particularly when portions are adult-sized or supersized. In findings presented at The Obesity Society's Annual Conclave on Oct. 7, children took deeper aliment when larger portions were untrue available to them. Jennifer Fisher, Ph.D., associate professor of accepted health and researcher at the Centre for Pudginess Trial and Education at Temple University, and her evaluation pair observed 61 children between five and six oldness out of date to conclude their eating habits when mean entrà e portions (275 g) and "super-sized" entrà e portions (550g) were offered.
More than four in 10 parents with underweight and overweight children mistakenly admit their children are in the morals weight range, according to University of Melbourne research. The peruse and finds that antithetic methods of assessing children's weight - such as BMI or waist circumference - arrangement in altered rates of children continuance identified as overweight or underweight. According to BMI, aggrandized children were classified as overweight, than compared to waist circumference. The study, by doctoral researcher Dr Pene Schmidt, too finds that children who are not in the sample weight range, are extremely enhanced possible to over or underestimate their thing size.


The easiest way to catch a big fish on a fly is on a streamer. Since these fly fishing flies are designed to imitate small baitfish that larger fish feed on, many streamers tend to be larger than other types of flies. Learn what are some of the most common streamer fly patterns you can use.
If you can cast 20 feet, you can catch fish in streams and rivers on fly fishing streamers. While streamer fishing, you can even strip line off the reel and into the water to let your streamer flies drift in the current and catch fish. The line swims the fly, making it look like a swimming baitfish. Cast fly fishing streamers such as Woolly Buggers into moving water and expect strikes from a hungry fish.
To improve the action, attach a split-shot to the leader just ahead of the fly and give the fly rod tip a bounce now and then as the streamer drifts downstream. The bounce of the tip causes the fly to jig up and down like a wounded minnow, and all gamefish are hunters for wounded baitfish.
Big saltwater or freshwater fly fishing streamers require bigger fly rods to cast: 7-weight, 8-weight or larger rods. The larger the fly, the larger the fish you'll catch and the larger the fly rod you'll need to cast and fight the fish (small flies can also catch large fish).
When planning to go streamer fishing, first determine which baitfish the larger fish feed on where you fish. For example, if you're fly fishing for bass in a stream and the bass there feed mostly on crayfish, you'll need a fly that looks like a crayfish. But if silver-colored minnows are their main food, then you'll want to use a silver minnow streamer.
While the fly line will swim the fly in moving water, it will not swim it in the still waters of ponds and lakes. There, you must swim the fly by casting and retrieving the fly. The farther you can cast, the longer your retrieve of the fly and the more fish you'll catch.
Different fly lines retrieve the fly at different levels in the water. For instance, a floating line will fish and retrieve the fly near the surface. But if the fish are deep, you need to get the fly deep to catch them. The best fly line for streamers in that instance is the use of a sinking line to get the fly down to the fish.
Sinking lines are heavier than water. The heavier the line (Type 1 or I sinks slowest and Type 5 or V sinks fastest), the faster it sinks. In deep water or fast-moving water, you need a Type V line to reach bottom with the streamer. In slow-moving, shallow water, you need a floating line or a Type I. On lakes, an intermediate line or a Uniform Sinking line from Scientific Anglers are great for fly fishing streamers below the surface.
Fly fishing the streamer in ponds or lakes is simple - cast and retrieve it with a slow hand-twist retrieve or simply let it swing and follow behind the boat or float-tube as you move. The fish will do the rest.
When streamer fishing in streams, simply cast the streamer across the current and let the flow take it downstream. Most of your strikes will happen at the bottom of the swing. Cast the streamer toward the bank when fishing from a boat and retrieve it fast. Bass and trout will leap on it!
Fly fishing streamers can serve you very well on the water when you're aiming to catch larger fish. However, don't forget about using other types of fly fishing flies, like dry flies and nymphs, to be able to catch the greatest variety of fish, as well. See the list of classic patterns for dry flies and nymphs in the below chart.

Q: Waiting on Updater singleton I'm looking for the best practise, for making background updater.
I have this sequence of activities
SplashScreen -> LoginScreen -> MainActivity

What i need is to perform update before MainActivity has started. I'm using volley lib for download. I want Activity/Singleton/Service/Something else, which starts simultaneously with SplashScreen. And start of MainActivity have to wait until the background Updater has finished. I want to
Updater object behavior:
Check version, if newer version exists, download archive with sources.
Try apply changes (parsing xml and lots of things that should crash).
Apply changes.
Start app.
My thoughts:
1) Make updater an Activity: But i want to download o lots of bits and 5 seconds of splashscreen wait should slow down this process. As i know, background activity doesn't exist. (Yeah, it does, and its called service...)
2) Make them an Service: I never used service, so i'm not sure it's the best way. After update there is 24 hours off timer. Is even possible to start Activity from service?
3) Singleton (static class, or something, what is not activity, nor service): As service, but there should be problem with acces options that needs context to it's running. If i get it, change context from Splashscreen to loginscreen shloud be the problem.
4) AsyncTaks: As previous, how to wait until asynctaks is done to start activity?
Did i miss something? Is some practise which fits my problem?
Can anyone give me some example of classes and their connection to each other, which would be the best solution of this problem?

A: Option 4, AsyncTask, is a good candidate for what you want to do.
Option 1 (Activity) is not good because activities can be destroyed by the system for multiple reasons (e.g. screen rotation).  Plus code invoked from activity lifecycle methods (onCreate, etc) execute on the UI thread.  You do not want to perform network activity on this thread.  It is a bad practice that leads to sluggish UIs.  Newer versions of Android will throw exceptions if you attempt to do so (read up on Safe Mode).
Option 2 (Service) is not a bad one, but coding a service is not as simple as an AsncTask.  Plus services tend to be used for longer running operations.  Here is an SO post that explains this well: Android: AsyncTask vs Service.
Option 3 (Singleton) is not good as Android can kill your process at any time if memory is low.  If your singleton has state, when the process is re-created, that state will be lost.  There are ways to work around this, but they are difficult and error-prone.
So I suggest you read up on AsyncTasks.  They are really quite useful in Android.  They provide you with a thread from a pre-existing thread pool, and class methods that help you to ensure that your code is executing on the right type of thread (e.g. UI or background).
=========
So as this applies to your case:

*

*Launch the AsyncTask at the appropriate time for your app.  Most
likely in the LoginActivity.

*In the "doInBackground" method, make your download call.  Loop until the download is complete.  When complete, let the method return.

*Android will then call your task's onPostExecute method on the UI thread.  Here you can end the current activity and start the new one.

Of course this is just one suggestion, and without knowing your app, I cannot say that it is optimal.  Hopefully this gives you a taste of AsyncTask usage.

EMIRATES AIRLINE (Dubai to London Heathrow EK003)- BUSINESS CLASS, AIRBUS A380-800

An Emirates Airline A380 (similar to the one I went on) taking off from London Heathrow: Photo Copyright Navjot Singh
Route: DUBAI (DXB) to LONDON HEATHROW AIRPORT (LHR)
Departure date and time of flight: February 2011, 14:30pm local time (Dubai)
Flight number: EK003 (ICAO callsign "Emirates 003")
Flight duration: 7 Hours 30 minutes
Class: BUSINESS CLASS
Aircraft type: Airbus A380-800 (SUPERJUMBO)
The Airbus A380-800, dubbed the super-jumbo, is just sensational compared to; say the (now former) jumbo-jet of the skies, the legendary Boeing 747-400 aircraft. Emirates was the second airline to operate the A380-800 aircraft with 14 aircraft currently in service and 76 aircraft on order. As a keen aviation enthusiast I still find it hard to swallow that such a huge piece of metal tube can run along for 2 miles and fly half way across the world while carrying so much luggage, so many people, so much food, so much garbage and tons of fuel. It's a shame that even in today's day in age the vast majority of passengers have no idea what kind of aircraft they are flying on. All they want is plenty of legroom, excellent quality of food while they get from A to B in comfort. This aircraft had 535 seats in a 3 class configuration (First, Business and Economy), though the plane has the ability to accommodate a staggering 853 passengers in an all Economy Class configuration (though no airline has ordered this yet).
Punctuality of the flight: Departed on time and landed on time as well.
None. On Emirates Business Class passengers can carry a maximum of two luggage bags totalling 40KG in the hold.
At Dubai international airport Emirates Airlines have a separate part of the terminal building allocated specifically for their First and Business Class passengers. This comes complete with a separated security control channel only for those travelling on Emirates Airlines First and Business class compartments'. I was driven straight from my hotel to the Emirates Business Class check-in area by the special Emirates Airlines chauffeur driven car. The smooth and efficient journey from downtown Dubai to the airport terminal took only around 20 minutes.
Comments on the Emirates Lounge:
At Dubai airport's terminal 3, Emirates have a whole floor dedicated to HUGE lounges for passengers that are travelling on either First Class or Business Class. There are separate lounges for First and Business Class passengers. Just the sheer scale of each of the lounge is enough to make you give the "WOW!" factor. With a seating area for over a thousand passengers, and a round the clock catering facility that enables passengers to enjoy almost every kind of food and drink under the sun (depending on the time of the day), the Emirates lounge is a bit on an adventurous place. Sitting on the top floor, one can get excellent views of the airfield as well as the city's skyline in the background with the signature building, Burj Khalifa sticking out into the sky like a sore thumb. The entire cutlery in the lounge is made from bone china in the U.A.E. by the R.A.K group.
After passing security, Dubai airport looks a bit more like a huge shopping mall. Unlike most airports around the world where you have just a few "Duty-free" shops selling the usual perfumes, liqueurs and other tax-free goods, at Dubai airport, however, there are various shops where you can effectively do your weekly shopping if you like because they sell everything including fresh fruit & vegetables, general household goods and even luxury cars.
There are plenty of washrooms, showers provided with complimentary toiletries and towels, as well as baby changing facilities. Emirates have really made the flying experience a memorable one, and this is exactly what the industry needs in the 21st century. With the high quality of service that Emirates have offered to its passengers (irrespective of the cabin they are travelling in), its quite clear that flying should still be seen as a luxurious way to travel as opposed to just getting you from A to B.
Drinks of Champagne (Moet & Chandon Brut Imperial NV), freshly squeezed orange juice and apple juice were offered. Hot towels for refreshment were offered prior to take-off. A selection of cold canapés that included filled mini red bell peppers, marinated feta cheese and mixed olives. Priceless at 40,000 feet!
A selection of white and red wines were offered. I went for the red wine (Chateau Olivier 2003 Pessac Leognan). There was also the Calera Pinot Noir 2007 from California. The texture is rich, smooth and savoury with a nice firm tannix structure that expresses accents of bright cherry, berry fruit while rewarding us a clean, smooth lively finish.
There was a selection of appetisers for this flight including:
· Selection of authentic Arabic mezze included shanklish and vegetable salad, moutabl, stuffed vine leaves, bamia bil zeit and kibbeh al rahib, tomato and zaatar fatayar, with an assortment of Arabic pickles and garnishes;
· Honey and ginger salmon with cured salmon, served on a bed of rocca leaves, topped with roasted shredded ginger, accompanied with a ginger dressing;
· Seasonal salad- a seasonal salad served with a choice of dressings'.
I went for the honey and ginger salmon. Very brightly coloured and a wonderfully presented dish. The decorated plate came with freshly cut slices of cured Scottish salmon absorbed with the sweet flavour of lemon blended in with honey. The blend between the honey and lemon is one to die for because not only is it a healthy option, but it brings out the juices of the fish, the ginger and the rocca leaves. The neatly cut slices of lemon make it easier for passengers to squeeze the juice onto the dish without squirting the lemon juice all over the place. Now, that's what I call a healthy salad dish.
For the main course there was a choice of:
· Roast rack of lamb served with mustard and herd crust, and simmered lamb jus, accompanied with a potato ragout and an assortment of roasted vegetables;
· Chicken teriyaki that included a teriyaki glazed chicken served with steamed onigiri rice, stir fried kai-lan, shiitake mushroom and carrot;
· Truffle ravioli including pasta casings with a truffle flavouring filling, tossed in fresh basil pesto, topped with a mild mushroom and parmesan cheese veloute and mixed grilled capsicums);
· Baked tilapia consisting of a slow baked fillet of white fish served with fennel cooked in a thyme broth, provencal style vegetables and wild rice pilau.
I went for the chicken teriyaki option. Given that a Business Class in-flight meal is meant to resemble a similar feel and touch to that of a five star restaurant experience, I must say that the freshness, as well as the high quality of the chicken meat was the key to the success of this dish. Equally attractive and providing enough colours were the correctly boiled carrots and shiitake rice.
The salad accompanying the main meal consisted of topped tikka marinated prawns, crumbled feta cheese, quail eggs, croutons and marinated olives served with a creamy Caesar dressing. A lovely selection of hot soft and hard breads' was offered along with the main meal.
Choices for the dessert included:
· The blueberry crumble cake served with a cinnamon cream sauce.
· The yoghurt raspberry terrine (a low fat yoghurt raspberry terrine topped with shortbread wafer, and served with raspberry coulis).
I opted for the blueberry crumble cake served with a generous helping of cinnamon cream sauce. Now, if there was ever a competition on this flight, then this would be the dish of the flight without a doubt. Lovely crunchy feel to the crumble cake, and as one takes a spoonful they can easily absorb the strong flavours of the blueberry and the cinnamon. Oh, and as the crumble cake melts in your mouth, only then can you start to smell the cinnamon. This dish was so good that it reminded me of those large American style cinnamon bagels that you can get in the bakeries back in London.
The on-board lounge: a sensational Airbus A380 experience on EMIRATES
Hot and cold snacks offered in the on-board lounge included:
· Feuillete of parmesan cheese straws
· Marinated kalamata olives
· Salty nut selection
· Assorted cocktail sandwiches of mini salmon bagel, laugen pretzel with air dried beef and cheese mille-feuille
· Japanese crisps
· Nachos and cheese dips
· Hot snacks offered:
· Tandoori chicken pizza
· Prawn satey skewes
· Mediterranean vegetable quiche
· A free flow of drinks and appetisers, snacks were available in the social bar.
· Fresh fruit slices.
International cheese selection (always a favourite), chocolates by Godiva accompanied with tea or coffee (freshly brewed at 37,000 feet!). There was also a wide range selection of hot and cold drinks, liqueurs, cognacs, cocktails and whiskies.
On the Airbus A380-800, Emirates provide every Business Class and First Class seat with a personal mini-bar consisting of the following drinks: tomato juice, coca-cola can, cranberry juice, sprite can and mineral water (sparkling).
Afternoon tea on the EMIRATES Airbus A380 aircraft (BUSINESS CLASS)
A traditional English afternoon tea was served with a selection of classic reception sandwiches, delicate mini pastries, banana chocolate chip cake, freshly baked scones served with a rich clotted cream and strawberry preserve. Tea and coffee was also free flow! So, sit back in your Business Class seat, watch a lovely movie or listen to some golden oldies on the audio system, absorb the ambiance of flying with one of the world's five star airlines on the most advanced and largest aircraft in the world. Enjoy all of this while feeling like royalty in a genuine place at 40,000 feet.
Emirates feed you like there is no tomorrow. I mean they really do feed you. So you don't have to run down to MacDonald's once you land at your destination!
The Emirates ICE (Information, Communication and Entertainment) touch screen system is the main platform used for providing a truly amazing in-flight entertainment to passengers with over 1,200 channels which YOU control with the flick of a button. Effectively there are enough movies and music to keep one busy throughout the flight and in actual fact there is something for everyone. The ICE programme is perhaps one of the best I have seen on any flight and far more efficient and sophisticated then some other airline companies have to offer. In the First Class and Business Class cabins, 17-inch flat screens are used. With the communication programme you can send an e-mail, SMS and use the phone anywhere around the world.
Quite possibly the best flight I have ever taken in my entire life (so far). The A380 experience is just sensational. It is definitely the future of flying and I can say that as a frequent flyer, I can confidently say that even the Boeing 747-400 is no match to this outstanding aircraft (really, it isn't). One of the key things that fascinated me, as much as it would fascinate you as well, was that while cruising at 40,000 feet it's remarkably quiet. There is no confusion or clutter and it feels as if you have never left the ground. I have to give kudos to the amazing crew and the pilots of this brilliant flight. On the whole everything has just that little bit more space and legroom, and this includes the Economy Class seats, the windows, the toilets and the wider aisles.
The flight experience was even made better that my friend was in the right hand seat of the aircraft. Senior First Officer James Nixon took some awesome photos from the cockpit. It's always nice to know who is sitting in the cockpit! James, an Aussie, is a fine example of what hard work, sheer dedication and perseverance can achieve in life. He has been flying all kinds of aircraft for over 28 YEARS and has even written a book about- go and buy a copy - it's worth it for long haul flights.
If this article makes you feel as if there was nothing wrong with this flight then you are not quite off the mark because everything was just perfect as one would wish for in any flight.
The Airbus A380-800 has a 1-2-1 configuration for the First Class cabins (known as suites, each of which comes with an 86-inch flat bed), 2-2-2 configuration for the Business Class cabins (each seat with a 79-inch flat-bed), and 3-4-3 configuration for the Economy Class cabins (each with an 6-inch recline). All of the Business Class seats can be turned into a 79-inch flat bed. In the Business Class cabin, the added feature of a mini-bar for all business and First Class seats in the Airbus A380-800 aircraft brings along a nice touch, but tends to take up some of the space that could be used to make the seat a bit wider. In essence a Business Class seat on Emirates is effectively equal to one that may be ranked as a First Class seat on some other airlines (no names mentioned!). Though this was a rather short flight but the electronic in-seat built massage system is very helpful to help with blood circulation and also with fighting fatigue.
On the Airbus A380-800 each seat has an independent access to the aisle, an in-seat power supply for laptop or mobile phones (which you can use on-board on some flights), and a personal storage area. This is useful especially for those passengers who would be, say for example, going straight back to the office after they arrive at their destination (like me!). After all, Business Class is made essentially for those on a business trip ("business is for business" as they say!). The first class cabin only had one passenger aboard on this flight (just another young Arab prince going to London on a shopping spree- he had his Lamborghini waiting upon arrival at Terminal 3!).
The A380 features a bulb less illumination system, which is known as "mood-lighting" in non-technical terms. LEDs are deployed in the cabin, cockpit and cargo areas. The cabin lighting features programmable multi-spectral LEDs capable of creating a cabin ambiance that simulates daylight, night, or the various levels in between depending on the time of the day/night. On the outside of the aircraft, HID lighting is used for brighter, whiter illumination. The mood lighting displayed by Emirates inside all of their cabins during the various phases of the flight (bright orange during sunrise and dusk, and dark shades of blue during the cruise at night-time) is a sensational piece of art and not just technology being applied.
Added luxury- the Emirates chauffeur driven service
Emirates provide a complimentary chauffeur driven service for passengers travelling on their Business Class or First Class cabins. Only a handful of other airlines offer this very welcoming, handy and unique service. In Dubai I was whisked from my hotel straight to the special Emirates business class check-in building in a comfortable Mercedes complete with neat leather seats, in-car TV and plenty of drinks and refreshments on offer.
Similarly when I arrived at Heathrow, I was met by my driver at the Emirates arrivals desk at terminal 3. I can tell you with my hand on my heart that once someone lands in London, especially London Heathrow at the rush hour because it looks and feels like a funfair rather than an airport; this service is very much welcomed with more than a smile. I suppose, when it comes to transportation in London, the worst thing is getting in the hellhole that is the London Underground or being stuck in a horrendous traffic jam on the M4 while on the way back to the city. But rest assured that the Emirates chauffeur driven service will take you straight to your door in a smooth and comfortable way without the hustle or bustle.

Christopher stayed in Trust's Highgate house during November 2018.
I stayed for a month at the Robert Anderson Trust's Highgate property while conducting research for my doctoral dissertation at the British Museum. I transcribed cuneiform tablets, which is a slow and time-consuming process. Housing costs for short term research trips to London can be prohibitively expensive, and thanks to the housing provided by the Trust I was able to complete all of my goals for this research trip. The Highgate property is quiet and hidden yet accessible. It is a gorgeous house, which creates a great scholarly atmosphere. I would very much like to thank the Trust for its vote of confidence in my research and for giving me the opportunity to study there in 2018.

Head Start program leaders play a key role in helping to develop, implement, and maintain a shared program vision for mental health services and mental health consultation. Leadership should strive to integrate a mental health perspective into all program components, inspiring staff to see mental health as part of everything they do.
Programs can strengthen their mental health services and consultation by working as a team to develop a mental health-specific strategic plan. The mental health strategic plan should be developed by a representative team, and include key program goals, activities, and timelines for improving mental health services and consultation. The mental health strategic plan should be a living document that is revisited and updated frequently.
Head Start program leaders can help ensure the success of early childhood mental health consultants by helping families and staff be "ready" to work with the consultant. Building staff readiness includes making sure staff understand their role in the consultative process, feeling comfortable accepting support from the consultant, and helping build positive relationships between staff and the consultant. Building family readiness includes making sure that families understand that the consultant's role is to help all families (non-stigmatizing), reframing the consultants work as supporting wellness, rather than "treatment" for mental health problems, and building opportunities for the consultant to meet and get to know families.
Program leaders need to ensure that mental health consultants have good supervision and support for their work. Many program consultants receive clinical supervision outside the Head Start program, but they should also have an in-house supervisor to work with to provide support specifically around working with staff and families at this Head Start program. Helping consultants get to know other early childhood mental health consultants can also be important to supporting the consultant professionally.

AT&T says it will stop selling all location data from mobile phones to brokers following a report that companies are still selling that information to shadowy companies without customer knowledge.
Last year, AT&T and other carriers pledged to stop providing location information to data brokers. But AT&T made an exception for useful services that, for instance, help customers with roadside assistance or fraud protection. Now the company says it will also end those sales in March.
The move follows a Tuesday report on Vice's Motherboard site that showed how bounty hunters can track phone locations using carrier data.
Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden has been pushing mobile providers to end location-data sales. He said Thursday that Congress needs to pass legislation to ensure they come to a halt.

Deep Learning is a global partnership that works to: transform the role of teachers to that of activators who design experiences that build global competencies using real-life problem solving; and supports schools, districts, and systems to shift practice and how to measure learning in authentic ways.
Through learning partnerships, learning environments, new pedagogical practices, and leveraged digital skills, deep learning reaches students as never before — preparing them to be active, engaged participants in their future.
Chapter 2 WHAT'S DEEP ABOUT DEEP LEARNING?
This book elevates deep learning from an instructional tool to a systemic approach designed to create powerful synergies to enhance professional, social, and cultural capital. It is built on the deep belief that all students can learn if school systems shift from sorting talent, where only a minority of winners cross the finishing line, to developing the talent of diverse learners. Deep Learning's power lies in providing practical advice to help school systems evolve, for rules to become guidelines, and ultimately, for good practice to become culture.
We live in a world where creativity is our new capital. Michael Fullan, Joanne Quinn, and Joanne McEachen's book takes us deeply into this world. Read, launch, and learn!
Drawing upon decades of hard-fought education experience and with an eye toward our precarious future, Michael Fullan, one of the world's most respected education experts, along with co-authors Joanne Quinn and Joanne McEachen, has written a comprehensive and practical guide on school transformation. Intended for both policy makers and practitioners, the book toggles between theory and practice to deconstruct the "how" of education system change. It is a must read for anyone who is serious about preparing our children for the complex, interdependent world they will inherit.
Michael Fullan, Joanne Quinn, and Joanne McEachen offer a powerful set of ideas to enable deeper learning on a large scale. Deep learning develops examples at every level of the system—from the individual student and teacher, to the classroom, school, and state—suggesting how learning may be radically redesigned in ways that could change schooling as we know it.
There are many "deeper teachers," some "deeper schools," but very few "deeper systems." For that reason, we are very lucky that Michael Fullan, Joanne Quinn, and Joanne McEachen have channeled their prodigious talents for identifying the right levers for systems change to deeper learning. Drawing on their work with 1,200 schools in seven countries, they describe concretely what powerful learning looks like for both students and adults, and how system leaders can support the creation of challenging, engaging, and empowering learning for all students. Every system leader who wants to transform their system from an industrial era bureaucracy to a modern learning organization should read this book!
This book takes us on an exciting journey exploring why and how to deepen learning, and in so doing enables the teaching profession to rediscover the joy of teaching, and immerses students in the endless universe of learning.
This book is a call for action. Michael Fullan, Joanne Quinn, and Joanne McEachen take us on a journey of change based on deep conceptual knowledge and vast experience of practice. Drawing on work from seven countries around the world, Deep Learning shows the humanistic and international spirit of the DL movement.
Once again, Michael Fullan and his colleagues, Joanne Quinn and Joanne McEachen, have produced a groundbreaking text that explores how to make more profound learning experiences available to a broad range of students. For educators interested in furthering equity and tapping into the intrinsic curiosity of students, this book will be an invaluable resource.
Deep Learning will become your mantra for giving your students a sense of purpose and connectedness to the world. More than a reviewer I witnessed deep learning in action at the authors' recent international gathering. The teachers were on fire. Their commitment to teaching had been re-ignited by the focus on engaging students who no longer saw school as relevant to their lives. Students demonstrated a strong sense of identity and creativity, mastery, and engagement. This book shows us how successful our students can be!
Deep Learning is a book that pulls the cover away from the game of schooling and highlights the need for systemwide changes to ensure that every student becomes empowered and passionate as part of their own learning process. Deep Learning brings together the work of practitioners from around the world, as they share concrete examples of revitalized classrooms, schools, and entire districts. Ultimately the book shows how the transformation of learning in schools and districts can result in both excellence and equity for all students in today's global and digital world.
Deep learning is different in nature and scope than any other education innovation ever tried. It changes outcomes and changes learning by delving into meaningful matters in a way that alters forever the roles of students, teachers, families and others.
Rich classroom vignettes illustrate what deep learning looks like in action in a variety of contexts spanning K-12 examples from 1,200 schools in seven countries.
A unique emphasis on equity and excellence. Illustrating how deep learning is particularly critical for students who are disadvantaged and differently-abled.
Provides the Deep Learning Framework which illustrates the many critical layers involved in ensuring the success of deep learning in the classroom.
Provides guidance and practical strategies readers can use to mobilize and support deep learning to change their classrooms, schools, districts and systems.

Les « champignons-algues », ou Phycomycètes, sont des organismes de petite taille dont la systématique a longtemps fait débat. Ils montrent en effet des points communs avec les algues, notamment au niveau de leurs structures reproductrices, tout en ayant un mode de vie typiquement fongique, qui les rapproche des champignons.

Dans les classifications modernes, basées sur des critères phylogénétiques, ce regroupement n'a plus qu'une valeur descriptive et forme un ensemble polyphylétique dont l'usage est à proscrire. Certains de ses membres sont désormais classés parmi les Hétérocontes, un groupe de protistes qui comptent aussi de nombreuses algues, comme les Diatomées et les Algues brunes.

Histoire
En 1858, le botaniste allemand Nathanael Pringsheim relève les affinités morphologiques des structures reproductrices de certains champignons « inférieurs », comme Saprolegnia, avec celles de l'algue jaune-verte Vaucheria. Le mycologue Anton de Bary crée en 1873 la classe des Phycomycetes (construit sur les racines grecques phyco, « algue », et myco, « champignon ») pour regrouper ces organismes. Selon sa théorie, ils auraient évolué à partir d'ancêtres de type algue en perdant leur chlorophylle et en changeant leur mode de nutrition pour adopter celui des champignons, l'absorbotrophie. Les opposants de cette hypothèse affirment que les ressemblances avec les algues proviennent au contraire de développements parallèles au sein de lignées distinctes. Malgré ces observations et des contestations précoces, les champignons-algues restent étudiés par les mycologues et sont classés dans le règne des Fungi, au même niveau que les Ascomycètes et les Basidiomycètes, jusque dans les années 1960.

Par la suite, plusieurs études mettent en évidence des différences fondamentales entre certains Phycomycètes et le reste du règne fongique : ils utilisent des voies métaboliques distinctes et leurs parois cellulaires sont majoritairement constitués de cellulose, et non pas de chitine. Dans les années 1980, Thomas Cavalier-Smith reconnait que les principales lignées de Phycomycètes ne doivent plus être considérées comme des champignons, et il crée le groupe des Pseudofungi pour les différencier. Il classe ces organismes dans un nouveau règne, les Chromistes, qui rassemble également les Diatomées et les Algues brunes. Cette séparation est entérinée quelques années plus tard par les premières analyses phylogénétiques moléculaires, qui démontrent que les champignons-algues n'entretiennent aucun lien évolutif en commun avec les champignons vrais.

Étendue et caractéristiques
Les principaux traits distinctifs des Phycomycètes étaient le caractère cœnocytique de leur thalle, ainsi que leur multiplication asexuée à l'aide de spores flagellées, analogues aux gamètes des algues. Le groupe a eu des dimensions variables selon les auteurs, et a parfois été synonyme de « champignons inférieurs », par opposition aux « champignons supérieurs » formant des structures de reproduction multicellulaire (sporophores). Il rassemblait classiquement les Oomycètes, les Chytridiomycètes et les Hyphochytridiomycètes, et a pu englober également les Plasmodiophoromycètes, les Zygomycètes et les Trichomycètes.

Dans une définition plus restreinte, le terme « champignon-algue » peut s'appliquer aux groupes de champignons exclus du règne des Fungi et appartenant désormais aux Hétérocontes. Ils sont caractérisés par un mode de vie aquatique et une reproduction assurée par des cellules nageuses présentant deux flagelles distincts. Les principaux groupes sont les Oomycètes (), les Hyphochytridiomycètes () et les Labyrinthulomycètes (anciennement rattachés aux Myxomycètes, ).

Veritas announced the launch of Veritas Predictive Insights, a solution that utilises artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms to deliver always-on proactive support.
Veritas Predictive Insights' cloud-based AI/ML Engine monitors system health, detects potential issues and supposedly creates proactive remediation before problems can occur. Predictive Insights also enhances Veritas product availability and customer satisfaction by helping businesses reduce unplanned downtime, ensure faster time to fault resolution and reduce overall total costs of ownership.
Ever-changing business requirements are placing a stronger emphasis on storing, managing, accessing and protecting data. But businesses must also complete these tasks while ensuring the least possible downtime, avoiding unplanned maintenance and ensuring service level agreements (SLAs) are met.
This latest offering from Veritas supposedly addresses the growing concern from customers to simplify their data and infrastructure management while reducing the risks and costs associated with downtime and access to critical business data.
"Having consistently available IT systems is increasingly important to organisations that are responsible for managing, analysing and protecting more and more data points every day," said David Noy, vice president and general manager, Product Management and Alliances, Veritas.
Howard Fyffe, managing director, Australia and New Zealand, Veritas added, "AI and ML technologies are already disrupting and accelerating business transformation for our ANZ customers here.
Veritas Predictive Insights provides prescriptive support services, such as proactive maintenance, performance and capacity forecasting, as well as compliance determination. The services are driven from the power of AI and continuous ML models that utilise years of collected data points from tens of thousands of Veritas customer installations.
Combined with real-world input from service personnel, the Veritas AI/ML Engine supposedly delivers predictive insights about a customer's environment, resulting in proactive recommendations and actions to improve their business operations.
When a customer enables the auto-support feature on a Veritas appliance, telemetry is continuously collected and processed by the AI/ML Engine, generating a System Reliability Score (SRS) for each appliance.
The information generated is visible in a dashboard and can be used by Veritas appliances services personnel and is also accessible to customers. Based on the SRS and the details behind it, the support and customer teams can take proactive actions as identified by the analytics.
This could include a notification to install a patch to dispatching service personnel or making prescribed, on-site services.
