i think this phone feels like a giant monster that attac another multimedia phone from each vendor.
fone have good specifications,but SE is not compatible with bsnl sim in India. w902 is undoubtedly a nice phone but its lenght is more and disply is small,AM radio is also missing.
This phone is not worth it for its price.. for the same price i can get n95 8gb with wifi, gps, document reader, stereo sound, VGA video recording, huge screen, 3d, dedicated dsp, 3.5mm, tv out, etc. In fact, i did get one for my girlfriend just recently. I'll probably just wait for n85 to come out so I won't miss the slick form factor that w902 has to offer (though it is still a big phone but smaller than n95) and see if it will be priced too expensive, otherwise it's n95 8gb for me and my gf. Willing to sacrifice the bulkiness and being SE fanboy for functionality and practicality.
- it is too late for this phone. the other brands already release this kind of phone (camera+music phone combination) years ago.
Today I got my W902. Great looks, great fealing and great sound!!. It is a very slim phone also. There is not one thing I don't like, or it would be the absensce of the AM-radio I read about.
The interface is very similar to the K800i I used till today. What I do like is the improvement of the video. Thanks SE.
I didn't use email and internet yet, but that is not the most important feature of this phone.
Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Lol, WTF are you on about?
Walkman phones are the king of music phones, and their designs are all unique, unless of course they're the upgrade to a previous model, which makes sense to base it around the same design. E.g W850i & w910i.
Nokia Express is a weak attempt to the Walkman series.
So sit down & STFU.
Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970So true. & I swear their models are getting bigger by the day.
hey there, it says 'in stores now'.. anyone worked with it plz giv ur comments..
am thinking of buying either w902 or w980. just wondering, duz the w980 slow down when the 8gb drive is full?
Milly, 13 Oct 2008Yes this phone comes with earphonesOf course there will be a headphones you can see them in the picture.............. come on what do you expect of SE, all the best.
its will b a superb vone !
comparing my sony ericsson phones and nokia phones which my friends has they think that sony ericsson is more better when it comes with music quality.. just an opinion..

Animals and Music
Ever heard of the term Zoomusicology? It is a niche field that studies the music of animals, or rather the musical aspects of sound or communication received by animals. Different animals have different reactions to music. Some even have a preference for a certain genre of music, just like us! With science's help, let's explore some studies on how animals respond to different types of music.
1. Cows
In a study at the University of Leicester, it was found that playing music for dairy cows had an effect on the amount of milk that they produced. The therapeutic effects of music on cows makes them release a milking hormone called oxytocin! The study also found that slow music has a better effect on producing milk than fast and upbeat music. So, the next time you find yourself milking cows, be sure to play songs such as REM's Everybody Hurts or Beethovan's Pastoral Symphony!
2. Dogs
Dogs are known to have decreasing stress levels when exposed to classical music. In a 2017 study, kenneled dogs were exposed to 5 different genres of music including soft-rock, Motown, pop, reggae and classical in order to determine whether a variety of music could reduce habituation. The study suggested that the increased variety of music decreased habituation that was present when playing exclusively classical music, though the dogs responded best when exposed to Reggae and Soft Rock!
3. Birds
Parrots or birds are perhaps the most well-known form of music found in non-humans. Birdsong is a different from normal calls. Birds would break out into a song that contains more repetition with a distinctive structure to attract mates, as well as to mark and defend one's territory.
4. Insects
This may come as surprise to most of us but insects produce forms of music which humans are incapable of hearing. The music is very low in amplitude and is known as 'quiet song'. Moth species have been shown to have developed the ability to communicate using ultrasonic sounds, and this ability has transferred over to their production of soft songs, in order to initiate courtship behaviour.
Zoe is an avid fan of all kinds of music. Her primary instrument is the guitar but she is always passionately learning how to play other instruments such as the drums and keyboard. She is currently playing the bass guitar in a band and has been routinely involved in music since she was a child.

Dozens of "Extinct" Creatures Found Alive in "Lost City" Deep Within Rainforest
TheEverDailyAdmin 3 weeks ago	Health & Wellness, Holistic Medicine Leave a comment 55 Views
By Elias Marat
A specialized team of conservation scientists has found what appears to be a hidden oasis deep in the rainforest of Honduras that's teeming with dozens of rare and endangered creatures.
The remote settlement, known as the "Lost City of the Monkey God" or "White City" and located in the Mosquitia rainforest, is a stunning example of the biodiversity that was once common across the tropics and rainforests in the region. The rainforest is home to hundreds of species of bats, butterflies and reptiles, the Independent reports.
The "ecological SWAT team" from Conservation International's Rapid Assessment Program (RAP) conducted their three-week expedition in 2017 after ancient ruins were discovered in the rainforest, which remains one of the least-explored areas of the region. Their full report on the expedition and its dizzying array of findings was only published this week.
The report details how the pristine ecosystem is filled with a number of rare and unique species, including those previously believed to be extinct.
This has included the False Tree Coral Snake, the pale-faced bat, and a tiger beetle which many had thought was already extinct. 22 species were also recorded whose presence in Honduras had previously been unknown, including the endangered Great Green Macaw and a livebearing fish that scientists have only now discovered.
In today's world, it seems like a tale from the "Indiana Jones" movies. But a sensational archaeological find in an unexplored jungle was real as it was surprising to the explorers who ventured there. https://t.co/Io1TWB6D3r
— Conservation Intl (@ConservationOrg) June 21, 2019
In total, scientists documented 198 species of birds, 94 butterfly species, 40 of small mammals, 56 amphibian and reptile species, and 30 species of large mammals—including jaguars, ocelots and pumas—not to mention a huge variety of plants, fish, rodents and insects.
Trond Larsen, the director of RAP, expressed that his team was "shocked" by their major find. In a press release, Larsen noted:
The 'White City' is one of the few areas remaining in Central America where ecological and evolutionary processes remain intact.
The conservationist added that the diversity of the area's wildlife makes it a very high priority for future conservation efforts. Larsen said:
One of the main reasons we found such high species richness and abundance of threatened and wide-ranging species (e.g., peccaries) is that the forests around the White City remain pristine, unlike much of the region.
This makes the area a high conservation priority for maintaining the broader landscape connectivity that is essential for the long-term persistence of biodiversity through Central America.
The White City has long been sought after by explorers searching for what is believed to be the home to an ancient civilization that inhabited the area during the pre-Columbian era.
The area, which is largely undeveloped, has faced threats from illegal economic activities such as deforestation due to cattle ranching, in spite of efforts by Honduras' president in 2005 to extend official protection to the "lost city."
Larsen said:
And these are areas with no road networks, no logistics or infrastructure to let people get in or let guards in, so it's very hard to stop what's happening.
In many cases, this illegal activity is being driven tangentially by drug trafficking, so it's driven by powerful people with money. That's the primary threat to the integrity of the forest of the area.
Another member of the RAP SWAT team, John Polisar, noted the importance of ensuring strong protection that would allow the treasure-trove of rare creatures to thrive:
We have been doing field work in the indigenous territories of La Moskitia for 14 years, and this site stood out as being simply gorgeous.
Because of its presently intact forests and fauna the area is of exceptionally high conservation value. It merits energetic and vigilant protection so its beauty and wildlife persist into the future.

In a welfare state, citizens have access to electricity, water, roads, education and health. Since citizens pay for these amenities through taxes, they expect services from the state in times of need. Increasingly, with the ubiquity of the internet, access to the web is also being considered a right. Although this scenario does not exist in the Nepali context, considering the potential of the internet to bring changes to societies and economies, the question of internet access as a basic right could bear merit. As per a World Bank report, there were 499,000 internet users in Nepal in 2008. These numbers have certainly increased. According to the Nepal Telecom authority, internet penetration had reached 28.92 percent in Nepal as of November 2013.

Turner Cattle Pound is a historic animal pound at the corner of Gen. Turner Hill Road and Kennebec Trail in Turner, Maine.  Built in 1816, it is a well-preserved example of a once-common feature of New England's agricultural communities.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.

Description and history
The Turner Cattle Pound is located near the geographic center of the rural community of Turner, at the southwest corner of General Turner Hill Road and Kennebec Trail.  It is a roughly square stone structure, its sides measuring between  and  in length.  Its walls are fashioned out of fieldstone, laid dry in irregular courses.   Portions of the walls have collapsed over time, but were originally between  in height.  The structure's only entrance is at the center of the east side, formed out of two upright granite posts and a granite lintel about  long, which is fastened to the posts by metal pins.  One of posts retains the metal pintles from which a gate would have been hung, and the other has an eyebolt where the gate would have been latched.

The town of Turner was settled in 1772 and incorporated in 1786.  Its first poundkeeper was elected two years later, but it is not known where stray animals were confined.  The first documentation for a municipally funded pound is dated 1795, when a structure of unknown form was authorized to be built in Turner Center.  The present structure was funded by the town in 1816 and built by Moses Merrill on land belonging to Cushing Phillips.  The site was chosen for its geographically central location, and because it was at the junction of two roads providing access to much of the community.  The town's last pound keeper was elected in 1918.

Sinusitis is irritation or infection in your sinus cavities. The sinus lining becomes swollen, blocking the drainage path for mucus in your nose, so your sinuses fill up. It is often caused by viruses or bacteria that invade your sinuses during a cold and hang around after. If your "cold" lasts longer than 10 days, or if you had improved and then your cold returned, you may have sinusitis.
If you've had four weeks of cloudy or colored drainage from your nose, along with headaches, congestion, stuffiness, and pain or pressure in your face, or around your eyes, you may have acute sinusitis. If you've had sinusitis for 12 weeks, is considered chronic.
Our doctors can help you determine if your sinusitis is caused by a virus or a bacterial infection. If you've been sick for less than 10 days and are not getting worse, your sinusitis is probably viral. If you've been sick for ten days and aren't improving at all, or you improved but then got worse again, your sinusitis is likely bacterial.
Viral sinusitis may be treated with saline nasal irrigation, steroid nasal sprays, and over the counter headache meds. Bacterial sinusitis may be treated with an antibiotic. Chronic sinusitis, which is caused by inflammation rather than infection, is treated by saline nasal irrigation and steroid nasal sprays. Treating other conditions, such as underlying asthma, allergies, nasal polyps, or immune issues may help. In some cases, chronic sinusitis requires surgery to widen your nasal passages and let mucus out.

Camping in Strasbourg
We've spent a week of mooching - that's the best way to describe it - around Strasbourg. We didn't have any agenda; we just let the city take control of our actions.
Most days we walked into the centre with its quaint old town and vibrant new shopping streets. We looked in shops, bought groceries, and meandered along the canals.
On three days we ate lunch at Le Grand Shanghai where an all-you-can-eat buffet was just €12.95. It goes without saying I'd recommend the place with three visits in a week. It really is a bargain price for one of the best Chinese buffets I've ever eaten.
On two evenings we returned to Les BerThoM where a dozen real ales on tap were half price during happy hour. It's a beautiful pub with great atmosphere. It's table service, so you just sit, pick from the menu card and order with one of the waiting staff. Complimentary bowls of nuts are regularly replenished. There's a great mix of light and dark ales ranging from 4 to 9 percent proof. Annoyingly they're all served cold though.
On two days we bought a ticket for unlimited travel on the trams and buses. That's a real bargain and easy way to get around. A 'Trio' ticket gets up to three people travel for 24 hours for just €6.80.
If we had worked out the public transportsooner we wouldn't have spent three hours walking to Germany on our second day. The German town of Kehl is just the other side of the Rhine. It looks an easier walk on Google Maps than it actually is.
No visit to Germany, how ever brief, would be complete without currywurst, so we stayed in Kehl long enough for our lunch.
Our campsite base, Camping Indigo, was on the western side of Strasbourg. Just half an hour walk into the centre and yet close enough to cycle paths out into the country.
We enjoyed a bike ride to Achenheim along the canal, stopping to buy lunch in a village patisserie. Tony bought a carrot quiche and I bought a huge slab of cheesecake. We ate them by the water before continuing back to base via Holtzheim, Lingolsheim and Ostwald and then north into Strasbourg (don't do this, by the way - go back the way you came - it's nicer).
On our penultimate day we caught the tram to Parc de Pourtalès and Château de la Robertsau. We enjoyed a lovely walk around the park. Much as I hate that it's now autumn the colours of the woodlands are beautiful.
On our way back we alighted the tram at the citadel. It's quite a contrast as you walk through the gate into the park. The other side is rather starkly filled with tower blocks.
From the citadel we followed the canal back into the centre. That was an enjoyable walk past some striking new apartment buildings in what looks to be an up-and-coming area of the city.
Other things of note are that we did of course visit the European Parliament building, and there's a fabulous boardgames store, Philibert, where I purchased a great two player card game, Jaipur that has been added to the campervan games box.
A week is perhaps a bit long for a city break. I think you could comfortably see most sights if you stayed three nights. Camping Indigo Strasbourg is well placed. Half an hour to walk into the vibrant city centre and right on the bus route, but on the edge of the countryside for cyclists.
The campsite is brand new. They've really gone for the wooden chalets big time on this site and some were still being built. So if you're more of a creature comforts kind of traveller this could still be a good base.
The site is bounded by trees but the city noise is a constant reminder you're nowhere rural. Planes and trains run by and there always seems to be a siren in the distance. Two local churches have bells that strike all through the night, every fifteen minutes.
But I'd still go back.

In this article, we'll break down the Indiana State CPE requirements for Certified Public Accountants.
CPAs practicing in Indiana are required to complete 120 hours of CPE every 3 years. Of the 120 hours reported triennially, a minimum of 20 must be completed each year. The Board puts a 50% cap on the total hours from instructing and a 50% cap on self-study CPE. University/college credits are not accepted for continuing education unless they are earned in graduate level courses with a final grade of "C" or better.
Of the 120 hour triennial requirement, 12 hours must be in the subject: "Accounting and Auditing." 4 hours of ethics CPE must be completed every 3 years but CPAs now have the option of using competency-based CPE for ethics instead of traditional courses. We expect this to be an option for non-ethics training in Indiana in the not-so-distant future.
The license renewal dates are 12/31 every three years with the next year being 2017 followed by: 2020, 2023, 2026, etc.
*Credits for instruction include both the preparation time as well as the presentation time but preparation time is limited to 2x the duration of the actual presentation.
*Repeating the same course as an instructor or attendee does not count for additional credits.
*Half credits are accepted but only after the first hour of a course.
*One semester hour of graduate level university/college credit equates to 15 hours of CPE.
*One quarter hour of graduate level university/college credit equates to 10 CPE credits.
When it comes time to find top quality CPE that will meet the Indiana Board requirements, look no further than Encoursa. We partner with the top thought leaders in the industry to bring you CPE courses that will not only ensure you meet your continuing education requirements, but also help you advance in your career.

The Clone Wars But Not The Clone Wars
By americanpraetorian September 26, 2018 September 26, 2018 Storytelling
The Unity Wars got its start in June 2015, as "Alternate Star Wars Prequels." (This was about six months before The Force Awakens was released, so the dumpster fire that is the Disney/Lucasfilm sequel trilogy had yet to begin.) I had been dissatisfied with the prequels (and the direction they led Star Wars as a whole in) for quite a long time, as much as I hadn't wanted to be, and had a weird little writing prompt pop into my head one day. "How would I do it differently, more in keeping with what was hinted at in both the original movies and novelizations, as well as some of the West End Games material and the Timothy Zahn Heir to the Empire trilogy?"
I scribbled some notes, but later abandoned it, because I had no desire to get sued into oblivion by the juggernaut that is The Mouse. I always kind of wanted to finish it, but I had other projects.
New Plan
It was Galaxy's Edge that showed the way, and I've since made The Unity Wars it's own thing, even though it still follows many of the elements I wanted to explore with the alternate Clone Wars. Clone tech is supposed to be as scary and dangerous as Zahn posited in the Thrawn trilogy, and the clones are supposed to be borderline psychotic enemies of the good guys (though I scrapped the Republic altogether, for various reasons).
Along the way, however, I delved into some of the alternate ideas about the Clone Wars that were out there. There's not a lot of pre-'99 lore left aside from what was in print from West End and some of the other affiliates. But that alone provides some semi-cohesive inspiration.
And, a friend pointed out the following videos. They're interesting, and better than what we got, in my estimation, though I went in a considerably different direction.

Building On #StarWarsNotStarWars
By americanpraetorian February 23, 2018 February 23, 2018 Storytelling
Star Wars Is Great
Lest anyone think that I don't like Star Wars, given some of the earlier posts here, I have to make this point. Nothing could be farther from the truth. It's why I have issues with some of the later entries in the franchise; I think that they don't do justice to what Star Wars could be. The Original Trilogy remain classics, and having just gone back and rewatched all three, back to back, they still hold up. (Which is why I don't care for the argument that, "Star Wars is full of plot holes anyway, so you're dislike of later installments is invalid.") There's an ever-expanding universe of new worlds, new aliens, new ships, and hints of a long history.
Star Wars is a huge source of inspiration for The Unity Wars. Because when you watch the movies, there's a lot that's implied without being said. And that stuff that's implied lends huge opportunities for storytelling. Continue reading

By americanpraetorian January 24, 2018 January 27, 2018 Introduction
What is The Unity Wars?
Well, it's an upcoming series of science fiction adventures. The best description so far is, "The Clone Wars crossed with The Horus Heresy, with influence from the Lensman series, Hammer's Slammers, and Farscape."
Confused yet? Hopefully also curious and a little excited.
I fiddled around with writing science fiction for several years before I became an action-adventure writer. It was mostly Star Wars and Wing Commander flavored at the time. I've always enjoyed science fiction, specifically what can often be described as "space opera," adventures in deep space and on distant worlds. And I've also always wanted to go back to it.
A few years ago (before Disney Star Wars, which we won't go into), I got a wild hair and asked myself, "What if the Star Wars prequels were better-written? What if the Clone Wars were more like what was hinted at in the earlier Expanded Universe?" I started to scribble some notes, but it was ultimately doomed to go nowhere, since I have no desire to get sued into oblivion by Lucasfilm/Disney.
Then Galaxy's Edge happened.
If you're not familiar with Galaxy's Edge, go take a look at www.galacticoutlaws.com. Nick Cole has described it as StarWarsNotStarWars. It uses many of the familiar tropes and technology of the Star Wars universe, but is still it's own setting, its own story. It is also awesome. And so the gears started turning again, and I turned back to "Alt Clone Wars."
I've always enjoyed Star Wars (though largely limited to the original trilogy, the X-Wing games, and a few of the novels, most notably Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy). But some things about it have always bugged me. Why are all the starships either airplanes in space or naval vessels in space? Sure, they look cool, but they don't make much sense in space. And the less said about the military aspects, the better. (Clone troopers running at the enemy across open ground, firing from the hip…Bleh.)
Epic Science Fiction
So, I pulled out my old AltStarWars file and started tweaking it. The end result is the beginnings of what promises to be a sprawling, galaxy-spanning science fiction epic. There will be several intertwining arcs, aliens, vast fleets and armies, dark conspiracies, and all sorts of space opera goodness. It's not Star Wars, or Galaxy's Edge. It's not Lensman. The Unity Wars is entirely its own story, in its own setting, and it will be going places that no one else has gone.
I hope you'll join me for the ride.

Our promise: make nature inexhaustible
For us, the celebration of daily rituals is a mission which is second only to the respect we show to the material we buy and select for our production. Nature has been offering precious legacies to mankind, legacies which we owe to value and respect.Deer antlers, antelope or buffalo horns, warthog fangs, they all end a natural life path together with the animals, a path which in the case of deer coincides with a seasonal phase of rebirth. Every precious fragment is the result of the gathering of what nature is willing to offer, while respecting the authentic biological course of animals.
Gifts, not trophies, a gathering which takes place within the nature reserves and provides employment for the local populations. A pure and primordial cycle which we commit to immortalize through the hands and skilful work of craftsmen; every veining, every colour, every unique feature impressed by nature into the material is a new point of departure for the creation of a product, capable of giving it a second existence. The processing indulges the soul of the product, which after a "rediscovery" work of its natural peculiarities, gets smoothened and polished to enhance its uniqueness without undermining it.
Found in their raw state in the countries of origin, in accordance with the veterinary and environmental legislation in force, in full respect of the C.I.T.E.S (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora), these extraordinary natural appendages deliver a first season of life as to become the lymph of a new cultivation and culture which reassesses the richness of the environment and of its gifts. Our commitment is that of "folding" craftmanship to nature. Not the other way round.

The research, which was on people with psychosis, a more severe form of psychiatric disorder, shows that even severe forms of mental illness can benefit from CBT. And these benefits can be lasting.
"CBT - a specific type of talking therapy - involves people changing the way they think about and respond to their thoughts and experiences. For individuals experiencing psychotic symptoms, common in schizophrenia and a number of other psychiatric disorders, the therapy involves learning to think differently about unusual experiences, such as distressing beliefs that others are out to get them. CBT also involves developing strategies to reduce distress and improve wellbeing.
"The findings, published in the journal Translational Psychiatry, follow the same researchers' previous work which showed that people with psychosis who received CBT displayed strengthened connections between key regions of the brain involved in processing social threat accurately.
"The new results show for the first time that these changes continue to have an impact years later on people's long-term recovery.
"In the original study, participants underwent fMRI imaging to assess the brain's response to images of faces expressing different emotions, before and after six months of CBT. Participants were already taking medication when they took part in the study, and so were compared to a group receiving medication only. The group receiving medication only did not show any increases in connectivity, suggesting that the effects on brain connections could be attributed to the CBT.
"For the new study, the health of 15 of the 22 participants who received CBT was tracked for eight years through their medical records. They were also sent a questionnaire at the end of this period to assess their level of recovery and wellbeing.
"The results show that increases in connectivity between several brain regions - most importantly the amygdala (the brain's threat centre) and the frontal lobes (which are involved in thinking and reasoning) - are associated with long-term recovery from psychosis. This is the first time that changes in the brain associated with CBT have been shown to be associated with long-term recovery in people with psychosis.
"Lead author of the study Dr Liam Mason from King's College London, who is a clinical psychologist at the Maudsley Hospital where the research took place, said: "This research challenges the notion that the existence of physical brain differences in mental health disorders somehow makes psychological factors or treatments less important. Unfortunately, previous research has shown that this 'brain bias' can make clinicians more likely to recommend medication but not psychological therapies. This is especially important in psychosis, where only one in ten people who could benefit from psychological therapies are offered them."
This research confirms what CBT therapists have known for decades - talk therapy works and can provide lasting results. This is especially true for milder mental disorders, such as anxiety disorder, depression, intermittent explosive disorder (aggressive issues), anger disorder, early childhood trauma, and so on.
This is the first time research has confirmed 'why' CBT works – because it does cause the brain to change in healthy ways. And these changes can be lasting.
This is one of the reasons earlier research has shown that CBT is the 'Gold Standard' treatment for anxiety and depression…because when you address the cause of the problem (learned unhealthy behavior), the problem and its symptoms disappear.
Hopefully, the results of this research will finally filter down to the medical and mental health communities, and especially those who still believe in the 'chemical imbalance' myth for many mental health disorders, which was completely debunked in 2011.
As more and more people realize that anxiety and depression are reversible via CBT, and that they aren't caused by some brain 'imbalance,' it will help to destigmatize these disorders, which will allow more people to seek help in a nonjudgmental society. And the more people who seek help, the healthier our overall society.
No one needs to suffer needlessly. The road to success is well known and well traveled. Our recommended anxiety disorder therapists can help you succeed, as well. Talk therapy works and does provide lasting change. Therefore, there is no good reason to remain stuck in a struggle with problematic anxiety and/or depression. You can overcome them, too, like so many people before you.

It's no secret that new technology is revolutionizing the retail landscape. For years, consumers have been taking advantage of an array of digital channels to purchase goods and services, while digital-born companies such as Amazon have become retail behemoths, largely at the expense of brick-and-mortar locations. But for all the change that has taken place over the past few years, much about how most customers shop in-store remains surprisingly similar to how buying has been done for generations.
Take long lines at checkout, for instance, which are still considered the top deterrent for buyers when shopping in-store. In a recent survey conducted by PSFK Labs, 79 percent of buyers indicated that any checkout line they perceive to have a wait time longer than seven minutes is not worth enduring to complete a transaction.
While certain shopping pain points like this still persist, digital-born and legacy retailers are learning from each other how they can utilize better connectivity and technology. Some retailers have turned to application-aware software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) technology to prioritize critical in-store applications' access to bandwidth for guest Wi-Fi traffic, store Wi-Fi fixed devices and other network functions. This is helping to eliminate old-school shopping headaches while allowing retailers to offer a more personal and digital buying experience.
Rather than making customers come to a central checkout stall, for example, retailers need to bring the point-of-sale to the buyers. One way to accomplish this is by arming staff with wireless tablets equipped with card readers to process debit or credit transactions at any location within the store. That way, if a customer was working with a sales associate to find products and is ready to complete the sale, the associate can finalize the transaction on the spot rather than end the interaction by directing the buyer to the main checkout.
Some companies are taking this a step further by removing sales associates from the equation completely. Amazon Go, for instance, has a new shopping model that relies on sensors and advanced video analytics to automatically bill a customer for all of the items in their cart once they exit one of Amazon's brick-and-mortar locations.
In essence, Amazon has completely removed the greatest shopper pain point: the checkout process. This approach requires significant connectivity infrastructure as large amounts of data need to be processed in real-time, and such processing doesn't happen in the store but in the cloud. This kind of connectivity requires rethinking the store network architecture not just to increase total bandwidth capacity, but also how that bandwidth is assigned to applications in order to deliver the fastest performance.
This approach is bringing a number of other intuitive tech innovations to the retail landscape that will make locating and buying products a less time-consuming process, while complimentary technology such as RFID, beacons and cognitive computing will also put more demands on store network connectivity.
Making wireless coverage available for shoppers in-store is another way retailers can deliver greater convenience to customers. However, many retailers are hesitant to open up their in-store networks to shoppers in an attempt to keep unnecessary, non-business applications from eating up business-critical bandwidth in the store network.
While keeping corporate network capacity in check is a top priority for retailers, modern consumers often rely on public WiFi so that they can use their smartphones wherever they go. In today's multichannel world, there is only so much time a shopper may be willing to spend in a store if they can't access apps on their personal devices because a store's network is walled off. Relying on 4G for this is often a poor substitute as the physical building materials for most stores reduce the effective signal to shoppers' smartphones, rendering their favorite app (including the retailer's app) unusable.
Application-aware SD-WAN management solutions allow retail network operators to keep public WiFi networks and critical connections over the corporate WAN separate but operational. By leveraging the public Internet as well as best-directing business-critical traffic over all available WAN connections, retailers can better ensure network-dependent business functionality alongside in-store customer experience.
In addition to the basics such as in-store WiFi and a faster checkout process, connectivity powered by an SD-WAN will also help mitigate missed opportunities in the dressing room thanks to virtual fitting rooms. These allow customers to communicate with sales associates about fit, color and other preferences so that they can assemble the perfect outfit without having to leave the stall.
Another new dressing room technology is digital mirrors, which embrace augmented reality to let consumers visualize how a piece of apparel will look without having to physically put it on. Customers can even access information from warehouses or the stock rooms of other store locations sharing the retailer's WAN to locate the right garment if it isn't immediately available – thereby minimizing fitting room abandonment rates.
With application-aware SD-WAN, retailers can properly manage critical and non-critical traffic over appropriate network connections. As such, the performance of point-of-sale applications, for example, are not compromised by novelty applications such as digital mirrors. As a result, shoppers can complete their purchases quicker than ever before, with personalized experiences to help them along their journey. For retailers, this will open the door to repeat transactions, higher basket sizes, increased loyalty and a better perception of the brand overall.

He began his career at Sevilla, playing 62 official games and winning the UEFA Europa League in 2014, before moving to Liverpool for a fee of £12 million.
Klopps has lost 3 finals and still got his job..Kenny lost his job because the results in the league were not good enough. Kenny is a legend and was only there to steady the ship after the catastrophy That was Roy Hodgson. I don't even care we out the league and fa cup. League priority. If we wern't top of league or down in 5 or 6th. Then it would be a valid argument. But ask any lfc fan who can remember the 80s, the league is more important to us. I wouldn't even care if Bayern knock us out champs league. If it means we won the league.

aFe 51-10451 - aFe Magnum Force Cold Air Intake - FREE SHIPPING!
Looks amazing, sounds amazing, and feels amazing in the pull of the powerband.
I installedthe afe intake on my 2003 BMW 330i with around 90,000 miles on it. I imediatly noticed an improvement in the throttle response and improved power. I have also noticed about a 2mpg improvement in my daily gas milage. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to add more performance while improving fuel economy. It's a win win upgrade.
This is a great intake. I have a lot of experience modifying BMWs,particularly the e46 3 series. Ive owned 4 different cold air intakes, each $400+. Though the AFE doesn't offer some of the more modern aesthetics that many tuners do, such a carbon fiber shield (GruppeM), the kit really is something else. However, performance-wise I think this may be the best intake for the 3 series. And at 350ish its a great buy. This kits offers additional shielding that you can't find in conforti or ecis. If you are a performance buff that likes a good looking intake the AFE intake is a must. And Auto-anything does provide it at an incredible price.
I own a BMW 2004 330ci,(E46)...The stage 1, easy to install, my son and I installed it in less than 20 minutes, the performance is definitely noticable. You get that deep roar when, punching it to pass or just speeding up. Noticed a slight rise in gas milage sense the install. Love the sound it makes when the ignition is turned off..(the release of vacuum). The price was very reasonable..

Q: Resize EditText with fixed height when keyboard is shown I have a screen with a small text on top, an editText under it and a button on the bottom of the screen. The editText view should have a given height (around 30% of screen size), but when I open the keyboard, the button will be pushed up (as it should) and overlaps with the editText. How can I make the editText resize itself when the keyboard shows up, so that it won't overlap with the button? I tried giving it a min & max height, but that didn't affect it, probably because of the fixed height.
My code:
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:text="text"
        android:layout_marginStart="20dp"
        android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppTheme.Job.Subtitle"
        android:visibility="visible"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="300dp"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustNothing"
        android:adjustViewBounds="true"
        android:minHeight="150dp"
        android:layout_marginHorizontal="20dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:padding="5dp"
        android:gravity="top"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="@+id/button"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/text"
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0" />

    <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
        android:id="@+id/button"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginStart="56dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="56dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="14dp"
        tools:visibility="visible"
        android:backgroundTint="@color/button_color"
        android:enabled="false"
        android:text="@string/content_feedback_button_text"
        android:textColor="@color/white"
        android:visibility="visible"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:tint="@color/white" />

A: Delete these attributes from the EditText:
android:layout_height="300dp"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:minHeight="150dp"

Then, add these:
android:layout_height="0dp"
app:layout_constraintHeight_min="150dp"
app:layout_constraintHeight_max="300dp"

This will make sure that your EditText (shown here with a white background) consumes 300dp when there's a lot of space:

And shrinks (down to a minimum of 150dp) when there's less space:

A: Maybe you find an answer here:
How can I change the height of a EditText and a Button?
There is mentioned to use "android:layout_height" instead of "android:heigt".
Also pay attention, not to use "wrap_content" and don't decrease size of TextEdit if the font is too big inside.
That are a few hints, why this may not work.
Plus, how do you check the visibility of your keyboard?
In case, you don't have a solution so far, this links can help:
How do I detect if software keyboard is visible on Android Device or not?
How to check visibility of software keyboard in Android?
Maybe in newer SDK there are simpler methods, but to refer to the link, where it is handled over the diff in the screen:
final View activityRootView = findViewById(R.id.activityRoot);
activityRootView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
    @Override
    public void onGlobalLayout() {
        int heightDiff = activityRootView.getRootView().getHeight() - activityRootView.getHeight();
        if (heightDiff > dpToPx(this, 200)) { // if more than 200 dp, it's probably a keyboard...
            // ... do something here
        }
    }
});

And then use it like:
public static float dpToPx(Context context, float valueInDp) {
    DisplayMetrics metrics = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
    return TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, valueInDp, metrics);
}

Call 800-314-7003! What is a surety bond? A surety bond is a type of insurance, but it might be more useful to think of it as a line of credit. If someone owns a business it's almost a given that there are regulations in that industry, and this business must promise to obey those regulations before it can be licensed. Regulators however aren't pushovers and won't let the business owner get away with a simple handshake. They need a guarantee backed by a third party in case regulators have to make a claim against the bond. Surety companies exist to provide exactly that sort of guarantee, by extending a temporary line of credit to the business to cover any claims. Pro Surety Bonds has over 25 years of combined industry experience, and we want to demonstrate it to you. Even if your credit is not good, feel free to call us anyway. We have a program for almost everyone. Call 800-314-7003!
If you are bidding on public projects for the City of Ennis you may be required to post a Bid Bond. The Bid Bond guarantees you will be able to provide the Performance Bonds required in the event you are the low bidder. In essence the Bid Bond pre-qualifies you for the work you are bidding on. Not all jobs require bonding but if they do we can assist you with Bid Bonds, and subsequent Performance and Payment Bonds as required by the state.

Ennis is a city in Ellis County and it is the 130th most populous city in the state of Texas. Ennis started out as a spot along the Houston an Central Texas Railroad, and it is in fact named after Cornelius Ennis, a railroad official who also served as mayor in the 1850s. Many of the settlers after the Civil War were little more than refugees coming out of the deplorable economic conditions of the South, and included a number of Czechs escaping a similar scenario after the revolutions of 1848. Today Ennis is notable for its Czech heritage and community halls, and it is the home of the Bluebonnet Festival, the National Polka Festival and several Hot Rod Association drag races.
Ennis has a comprehensive economic play called "Strategy for Quality of Life" which was adopted at the beginning of 2016. It's vision is that of an Ennis that respects the natural resources of the city and respects the humanity of the citizenry and its capacity for a community that is vibrant to live, work and play. As you might expect, the citizenry's input is crucial for the future of the city, and it has been consulted in the form of mail out surveys, public meetings and workshops with City Commissioners and the planning and zoning commission.

If I have to pay for the damages of a claim, why do I need the bond? It is true that even though you have bought the bond you will still have to pay any claims made against it. That's because the bond is cheap. If it had to provide full coverage, it would be much more expensive for what it covers, and that is default on your part. Default on obligations is relatively rare, but there are people out there who still want coverage for obligations, so the surety bond creates an incentive for the purchaser to "behave" himself.

The airfield in Langham was one of the most important American airfields of the the Second World War. This is because of the outstanding war records of all three Groups stationed here.
Work begun on the building of the airfield in 1942. W & C French Ltd. was the main contractor, using both Irish and local labour. The airfield was available for flying by May 1943. There were three runways. The main runway was 2,000 yards long and then two intersecting runways of 1,400 yards each in length. The Base had accommodation for 2,900 personnel and there were two fuel dumps and the usual hangers. All temporary buildings were dispersed in woods and fields south of the airfield.
Generally, during the Second World War, it was the Air Ministry's general principle to name new airfields by the name of the village or parish in which they were built. Station 150 was an exception to this. The station was built to the west of the current A12 road, three miles north of Colchester, and was built entirely in the village of Langham. The station, however, took on the name of Boxted, another near-by village, as there was already an operational airfield known as Langham in Norfolk.
When the USAAF came to Langham in 1943, this country was already inured to the devastating effects of aerial warfare. We had experienced the heroic tragedy of Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain, and the devastation of many of our cities. Rationing had been in operation for nearly four years and everywhere there was stringent control of goods and services. There was also a "blackout" and all signposts and name-boards on stations, and in towns and villages had been removed or obliterated.
Into Langham came a force of some 3,000 "foreigners"! They had an immediate impact on the village and the towns and villages in the vicinity and their reception was, for the most part, welcoming. The Americans themselves were friendly and generous, particularly with their gifts of "candy" to the children which were received with delight as the allocation of sweets and chocolate in this country was strictly rationed. The pubs certainly did a roaring trade!
There was, of course, entertainment at the Base for the men stationed there and Glen Miller and his Band visited. The photo below shows the first meeting of Colonel Hubert (The Hub) Zemke and Captain Glenn Miller (Band Leader) at Boxted Aerodrome when he arrived on 6th August 1944. He later performed in the large hangar near Langham Lodge.
Four American Units spent time stationed at the Airfield. To learn more about each, click on the buttons below
386th Bombardment Group
56th Fighter Group
Detachment B, 65th Fighter Wing
After the USAAF left, the airfield reverted to the RAF and the night fighter Mosquitoes of 25 Squadron, and the Meteors of 124 and 234 Squadrons. However because of the proximity of Colchester and the higher speed of post war aircraft the airfield closed in 1947. For some years after this the runways and the grass continued to be used by light aircraft and by crop spraying aircraft.
In 1961 the two hangers and many other buildings were sold and in 1963 the land was offered back to the original owners. After that the majority of the airfield became apple orchards although parts of each runway remained as did some of the perimeter track.
In 2006 the airfield was sold and much of it is now devoted, amongst other crops, to growing onions.
In 1992 the Parish Council had leased some land where the main runway crosses Park Lane and erected a Monument to those who served on the airfield. It incorporates three of the large concrete bases used for landing lights. When the land was sold in 2006 the Parish Council bought the land immediately surrounding the Monument and started to plan its renovation. The first phase of this was completed in time for Remembrance Sunday 2007 and actual Monument is now clad in black granite. The second phase of the renovation involved the building of a low wall behind the Monument and landscaping of the immediate area. This was completed in time for a ceremony on April 19 2008, marking its restoration.
