People clip them, download them, print them and have them scanned from smart phones when buying frozen and refrigerated foods, and just about everything else sold at retail stores. The practice of distributing discount coupons to consumers as a form of product promotion, and the activity of seeking out or saving coupons to obtain bargains on purchases is a way of life for almost 50% of shoppers in the United States.
Trey Moser, senior director of retail analytics at Inmar, recently made a presentation at the 22nd Annual Executive Conference of the National Frozen and Refrigerated Foods Association (NFRA) in Tempe, Arizona, entitled "Inmar Coupon Report for 2013: Top Lines and Trends." It provided a summary of major coupon activity for last year including offer distribution, redemption and method use, and spotlighted promotion activity in the frozen and refrigerated categories.
Citing the 2014 Inmar Coupon Trends Report, Moser told his audience of more than 100 frozen and refrigerated business professionals that industry-wide coupon redemption remained steady in 2013 at 2.9 billion coupons redeemed, while distribution grew 3.6 percent – compared to 2012. Some 329 billion coupons for Consumer Packaged Goods (CPGs) – including both traditional, paper coupons and digital, paperless coupons – were distributed in the USA last year. Of the coupons distributed in 2013, roughly 40 percent were for food products and 60 percent for non-food products.
The preferred method of distribution for marketers in 2013 – and the most popular method for redemption by consumers – continued to be free-standing Inserts (FSIs). They represented 87.3 percent of all coupons distributed last year and accounted for 41 percent of all redeemed coupons.
The utility and popularity of this method were equally evident in the frozen and refrigerated categories. In 2013, 88.3 percent of all coupons distributed for frozen foods were FSIs, with these coupons comprising 50.1 percent of this frozen food coupon redemption mix. Concurrently, 85.7 percent of the coupons distributed for refrigerated products were FSIs and made up 39.4 percent of the coupons redeemed in this category.
According to the Inmar 2014 Shopper Behavior Study, 49 percent of shoppers regularly use FSI coupons – making them the most frequently used method among shoppers (when ranked against the other discovery/acquisition methods). In terms of redeemed offer count, more than one billion of the 2.9 billion coupons redeemed in 2013 were FSIs.
At the same time, digital coupons – enabling more "personalized promotion" and deployed by marketers with enhanced targeting – continued to grow ahead of the overall rate of coupon growth and, consequently, increased their share of redemption. These are coupons that consumers load directly to their shopper loyalty accounts from retailer and publisher websites, as well as other locations. With no paper involved, these offers are applied automatically at checkout and discounts are instantly credited when shoppers present their loyalty cards or unique individual identifiers.
In 2013, more than 66 million digital coupons were redeemed industry-wide according to Inmar estimates – a 141 percent increase over 2012. Inmar alone facilitated the redemption of almost 44 million digital coupons in 2013, giving it the largest share of digital coupon redemption information in the industry. That represents a 120 percent increase over the approximately 20 million paperless coupons the company settled in 2012.
Other methods accounting for sizable portions of coupons redeemed included instant redeemable (15.6 percent), electronic checkout (8.4 percent), shelf pad (5.9 percent), Internet print at home (5.2 percent) and direct mail (4.1 percent).
In the refrigerated product category, when the percent of coupons redeemed by method was indexed against the percent of coupons distributed by method, results showed that consumers in this product category also favor coupons that encourage repeat purchase, such as on-pack and in-pack. Consumers who shop for frozen products, in addition to liking FSIs, favor in-store distributed coupons such as instant redeemable, instant redeemable cross ruff, handout in-store with sample and shelf pad.
In speaking to these findings, Moser advised those in attendance to take a holistic approach to their promotions – urging them to employ omnichannel strategies that recognize documented coupon preferences and media usage among shoppers. He also stressed the importance of relevance in promotional content and the need for marketers to use data to match offers with shoppers for better targeting and enhanced consumer engagement.

The United States has pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement, the Iran Nuclear Deal, and the UN Human Rights Council.
We have a president who thinks global warming is a hoax.
The President of the United States has offended all of our closest allies while buddying up with brutal dictators.
Children and parents seeking asylum in the United States have been separated and children have been put in cages.
We will now have two additional arch-conservative Supreme Court justices, doing the GOP’s bidding for decades to come.
Roe v. Wade will now likely be overturned, making abortion illegal in at least 20 states. Republicans are sending women’s rights back 40 years!
The same goes for LGBTQ rights. With the new Supreme Court, you can count on their rights going backward.
Unions were hit hard by the Supreme Court with the help of Trump’s first justice appointment, Neil Gorsuch, just this week.
We have a president who embarrasses our country daily and encourages incivility and distrust in established, vetted media, like the Associated Press. Dictators declare that the media is the enemy of the people, not presidents in democracies!
I could go on, but I’ve made my point. None of the above would have happened under Democratic leadership. No party or candidate is perfect. I never agree with the candidate I vote for on every issue. On the same token, I don’t agree with my wife on every issue either—yet we have a long, successful marriage.
Saying “Democrats and Republicans are the same” is a common, but naïve talking point. And in the coming elections if you don’t vote, or decide to vote for a fringe unelectable candidate out of a sense of moral superiority, know that you are voting for a continuation of Trump policies.
I hate it as much as anyone that we don’t have a system of government like Australia has, where alternative parties can make a difference. In America, at least for now, we have two viable parties. Choose a side.

Soon after arriving, we decided to explore the sites and do a little shopping. We were in one of the world’s fashion capitals after all — what could possibly go wrong? My spouse needed some lighter, brighter shirts to replace the heavy, checkered lumberjack style he’d favored in Canada. The latest fashionable color at the time in Italy was melone, a lobster shade we both adored.
So, one evening, after yet another delectable meal, we strolled into a village clothing store to admire the venerable selection. Each shirt was displayed in its own beautiful box, cushioned in a cloud of designer tissue paper. Too pretty to touch, really. The salesperson lovingly unwrapped each shirt and artfully displayed the array on the counter in front of us. One by one, she laid out a series of progressively beautiful (and increasingly expensive) melon colored shirts. Finally, sensing that we were hooked, she told us that a most exquisite shirt had just come in, but in a different color — salmone.
Out came the ultimate shirt and it did not leave us wanting. The fabric, the stitching, the cut — it was all intoxicating, as only Italian fashion can be. But the salmon color of the shirt? Well, it was identical to the melon colored shirts. Precisely the same! The price, however, was considerably higher.
Learning to speak and use language is one of the major milestones of childhood. From that time on we are honing the skill — learning how to use words effectively to get our needs met and make our thoughts and feelings known. Written or spoken it is the instrument we use for human connection.
The word home is a good example of how these categorizations can differ in impact. Denotatively, home is simply a place of residence, a structure for shelter. It is the connotative meaning that embraces all the things that home means to us — whether good or bad.
Some words, by nature tend to be fairly innocuous — jelly, wood, cup — although even these, if tied to a strong enough memory, can be impactful for some. Others — war, mother, dog — inherently seem to carry a weight far beyond their syntax.
Advertisers, for example, count on this distinction and use it to attempt to persuade consumers to behave in certain ways — namely to buy a particular product usually on merits beyond its denotative purpose. They either use existing universal connotations to attach to a product or brand or they create scenarios which establish new connections and ingrain new connotations.
Just think of these two words — Fiat and Mercedes. On the surface both are just brands of automobiles, which are themselves just means of transportation. However, one generally has significantly different feelings about them. If I asked you which one you would rather have parked in your driveway, you would probably have a clear preference.
Authors too use the connotative power of words to connect people, to broaden our minds to the experiences of others — real or imagined — who are both like us and unlike us, to both relate to our common experience and to share a glimpse of that which may be a wholly different experience.
So, the question remains, is there a difference between a melone shirt and a salmone one? The choice is yours — the meaning is in the mind of the beholder.

Steps on how to avoid water damage in the home from appliances.
When it comes to preventing water damage, don’t overlook home appliances. The washing machine, dishwasher, and refrigerator are major culprits when it comes to water damage in the home. Most homeowners tend to let these appliances run for years without maintenance, which often results in a disaster. To prevent water damage, be aware of the condition of these common appliances, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations, and keep these following tips in mind.
Washers typically come standard with rubber water supply hoses. Over time, these hoses suffer wear and tear, often breaking and cracking without warning. Get into the habit of replacing the rubber washer supply hose every five years. For better protection, replace the rubber hoses with braided stainless steel supply lines.
Unfortunately, the early signs of dishwasher leaks often occur at plumbing connections that are out of sight beneath or behind the unit. It’s a good idea to remove the front kick plate two or three times a year and look underneath the dishwasher to see if there are any signs of leaks.
It may be unsuspecting, but fridges can be notorious for water damage in the home. The 1/4-inch plastic or copper water tube that supplies the icemaker with fresh water connects to the rear of the refrigerator. If the unit is too close to the wall, a plastic tube may be crushed, beginning to leak. If the fridge is placed too far away, the connection can be over-stressed, and the connection may leak or detach and flood the kitchen. Keep this in mind when moving your fridge location.

Ubuntu makes it pretty simple to install it over USB flash drive RAID array. You can install it using flash drive itself.
Why would you do it? Flash drives are pretty cheap nowdays, even for capacities worth GBs. You can create RAID array out of more than one flash drive and have a system that can tolerate disk failures. Linux distros do not eat up diskspace like Windows so you can fit entire box in minimum two flash drives.
I downloaded Ubuntu server installation from a mirror and transferred the ISO to flash drive using Unetbootin. This has worked effortlessly for desktop live CD and I could boot in minutes. The installation also transferred itself onto other flash drive in system. However, I could not find any advanced options during live image - hdd transfer. So decided to download Server ISO.
It took 5 hours to get the image from net :( Unetbootin transferred it to flash but the installation kept complaining about missing CD-ROM drive. There are few links on web which mention you can mount the filesystem on /cdrom during setup. It worked but then setup kept complaining about something or the other. Finally hacked out CD-ROM drive from sister's desktop at midnight (she stays few miles away).
Once CD-ROM drive was there, setup was breeze. You need to make sure that USB emulation is set to "HDD" or "Fixed Disk" in the BIOS setup and boot using CD.
Setup is RAID aware and it provides easy options to create software RAID volumes. Setup also installs GRUB on all drives. This helps if you loose one RAID member and reboot.
- Once partitions are created, come back to partitioning menu and create MD devices. Here you need to create as many partitions you need and make sure you select partitions of same sizes.
If you are going to add a HDD after this, make sure that the HDD is not part of system boot sequence in BIOS. I am also not sure how the system will behave if you add more flash drives to the system. When the system is on, it should not cause harm, however, during boot the system might assign different drive letters. A quick look at mdadm.conf makes me believe that the RAID array is configured to look for disk signatures so you are at no risk if drive letters changes. Dont have a flash drive now to check that.
Let me know if it works for you. Following two links have been quiet helpful to me.

Gros Islet: Australia captain Alex Blackwell led from the front as her side advanced into the Women's World Twenty20 final with a seven-wicket win over India on Thursday.
Blackwell's 61 - her maiden fifty at this level - was the centrepiece of Australia's successful pursuit of a target of 120. Her innings was all the more impressive as Blackwell, only leading the side because wicketkeeper/batsman Jodie Fields withdrew before the tournament with a hamstring injury, came in with the score one for one.
But together with left-handed opener Shelley Nitschke (22), she shared a second-wicket stand of 74 that ended Indian hopes. By the time Blackwell was stumped by Sulakshana Naik off leg-spinner Priyanka Roy, Australia were 101 for three and in sight of victory. Blackwell faced 49 balls, including eight fours.
Leah Poulton, unbeaten on 30, ended the match with seven balls to spare with a boundary. Australia, who lost in last year's semi-final to eventual champions England, will face the winners of Friday's match between the West Indies and New Zealand in Sunday's final at Barbados's Kensington Oval.
Their victory also kept alive hopes of an Australian 'double', with the men's side facing defending champions Pakistan in Friday's semi-final.
Australia's reply get off to a stuttering start, when Elyse Villani was bowled off an under-edge for nought to leave her side one for one. But Nitschke, twice pierced the cover field as she drove left-arm spinner Gouhar Sultana for four.
Blackwell was soon into her stride, with three fours in as many balls from Roy as she took advantage of a trio of full tosses. Australia, thanks to tight bowling and fine fielding, restricted India to 199 for five.
Opener Poonam Raut made 44 off 51 balls, with three boundaries, before she became one of three wickets that fell in the 17th over. Raut put on 57 with Harmanpreet Kaur, the best stand of the innings, before she was run out by bowler Ellyse Perry's quick thinking flick onto the stumps after backing up too far.
That same over also saw Goswami run out for nought by opposing skipper Blackwell's direct hit and next ball Raut was caught by Jess Cameron, running in from long-on.
Amita Sharma, who hit a straight six in the final over to the delight of Indian fans in the crowd, chipped in with 17 runs off 11 balls. Earlier India star's batsman Mithali Raj was drawn out of her crease by experienced Australia spinner Lisa Sthalekar and stumped by Alyssa Healy - the niece of former Australia wicketkeeper Ian.
Ellyse Perry took three wickets and held her nerve in a tense last over as Australia beat New Zealand by just three runs in a thrilling women's World Twenty20 final.
Sara McGlashan saw New Zealand into the final of the ICC Women's World Twenty20 against arch-rivals Australia as her superb innings of 84 set up a 56-run over the West Indies here on Friday.
The West Indies women's team is on a mission to lift the spirits of Caribbean cricket fans following the exit of their male peers from the ICC World Twenty20 West Indies 2010 tournament.
Australia captain Alex Blackwell led from the front as her side advanced into the Women's World Twenty20 final with a seven-wicket win over India on Thursday.
West Indies women's all-rounder Stafanie Taylor has issued a rallying cry around the Caribbean for cricket fans to come out in force to support their team in Friday's crucial semi-final showdown with New Zealand in St Lucia.
Indian skipper Jhulan Goswami is confident of stopping the Australian juggernaut when they clash in the first semi-finals of the ICC Women's World Twenty20 at the Beausejour Cricket Ground on Thursday.
India defeated Sri Lanka to qualify for the semi-finals of the tournament on the last day of fixtures at Warner Park while New Zealand rounded off its group stage of the ICC Women's World Twenty20 with a comfortable victory over Pakistan earlier in the day.
New Zealand pace bowler Nicola Browne led her side's rout of the Pakistan team in the sides' final game of Group B in the ICC Women's World Twenty20 to secure the team top place in the pool.
England secured its first and only victory of the tournament today when it beat South Africa by 56 runs in the first fixture of the day at Warner Park.
Australia secured its place at the top of Group A in the ICC Women's World Twenty20 2010 as it defeated host and fellow semi-final qualifier West Indies in front of a crowd of over 4000 spectators at Warner Park in St Kitts.

Initially when i first got a look while using Canon x IS long distance scopes I thought that these just a pair connected binoculars and the representation stability feature would become sketchy and would actually require a tripod generate to eliminate the nervous-looking. Well I was wrong and when Acquired the chance to at any time use them, I was basically completely flabbergasted. Unlike long-established binoculars, the Canon by IS binoculars have a characteristic called IS or think about stability, which is exactly what the IS stands for.
Anyway normally when grasping a set of long distance scopes up to your eyes, you would experience rumbeling from your hands, and as well as although small, was increased by the binoculars produced the image look altered and sometimes blurry, once you are using top magnification binoculars, you cane easily see more of the trembling and less of your identiity looking at clearly. I’m somewhat of an newcomer astronomer and like to notice the night sky any telescope. After I observed the Canon x Is now binoculars, I may by go back to one telescope, well perhaps I’m going to but for right this time these binoculars work similar in results as a telescope.
And there is a good place for you – mount a tripod, even when you don’t really need one, however you have selection of to connect to a brand new tripod if you simply want to. So, how do these field glasses work Well, I won’t get into all particulars here, but essentially solar panel systems must to do has always been press and hold to the IS button on the top of the the binoculars while you’re on the lookout through them. Your children’s hand may become fall to sleep after a while, however the view is worth it also.
Maybe how to choose your binoculars will remedy this feature in lasting models so that you can easily press the button rapidly as and the IS will remain on for at typically several minutes. The Rule x IS binoculars may very well be powered by AA alkiline batteries. Using rechargable accumulateur is an option and get the same very good performance, however, the energy packs still only last in regard to hours or so. That is hours of full viewing time though and could certainly still use these long distance scopes as a regular pair of shoes without using any an assortment.

iLife and .Mac: Is Apple Forging into the Blogosphere for an Upstream Catch?
Garage Band now makes it easy to create podcasts. Its fairly intuitive semi-professional podcast production tool is sure to awaken passions. Considering it was Apple’s iPod and the company’s rapid integration of podcasting into the iTunes music store that helped popularize medium, it makes sense that the company wants to position itself significantly upstream from production. Could this be a way of making more users want to switch to a Mac computer?
The iPhoto organizing and editing application now includes a native photocasting and Web-based photo publishing and sharing solution. It’s got nothing over Flikr, the Yahoo! subsidiary, but is in the Apple family and accessible from the software’s interface. Here again, Apple seems to be trying to reposition itself upstream to further bolster the loyalty of its users. iPhoto is certainly cool, as everything Web 2.0 should be. But contrary to the Web 2.0 philosophy, it’s not very open.
The iMovie HD 6 video editing application is even simpler and more robust than before. It lets you publish your video creations simply by dragging and dropping them into your iWeb blog. With video blogging so easy, everybody will be doing it. The demand is definitely there. Meanwhile, new players on the scene like VideoEgg are already positioning themselves, undoubtedly with a more open approach.
iWeb is the key to everything. The new tool makes it super simple for users to create a blog—complete with photos, podcasts, and videos. All they have to do is copy and paste. With such a user-friendly tool, Mac users are bound to catch what appears to be the latest internet fever: sharing. But they won’t be able to comment on posts, a minus which Apple promises to correct soon. The presentation demos at MacWorld were especially compelling.
The suite works extremely well, provided you have a .Mac account to access Apple's data storage and hosting system. For $99 per year, .Mac makes publishing your blog a breeze. And a wave of new bloggers is just what .Mac needs. Until now, only 2 million Apple customers have reportedly opened an account, mainly as a file backup system.
Take your marvelous Intel-based iMac (iLife ‘06 works only on Apple computers, and best on newer ones that have the speed), your iPod connected to iTunes, your video blog and podcast created with the outstanding new features of iLife ‘06 and published via your .Mac account, and—voilà—you’ve been sucked into the beautiful world of Apple design. For a pretty penny.
Apple wants to project a Web 2.0 look and have a Web 2.0 smell, but Web 2.0 it is not! It’s more “Apple” than ever. And that’s a risky proposition given that internet users seem to be looking for increasingly open, collaborative, and participatory platforms. iLife ’06 does not even include one of the basic features of the blogosphere: comments.
By launching iLife ’06 and linking it so tightly to .Mac, Apple is attempting a strategy that even Microsoft has understood cannot prevail, as the launch of Live.com aptly demonstrates. An indicator to watch will be Apple computer sales in conjunction with the number of .Mac users. But Apple still has plenty of other strong cards to play before it needs to worry.

BACKGROUND: Kyrgyzstan has a troubled record of relations with its neighbors. This goes in particular for its relationship with Uzbekistan, which pursues assertive and implicitly aggressive policies toward several of its neighbors, usually relating to the distribution of water resources. The Central Asian rivers Amu Darya and Syr Darya start in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan and both Bishkek and Dushanbe seek to regulate the flow of water, threatening Uzbekistan’s water supply. Tashkent has clearly demonstrated its displeasure with these developments. In early June, it stopped the delivery of gas to Kyrgyzstan, and disrupted Kyrgyzstan’s supply of electricity. Some Uzbek intellectuals even threatened that war was a possibility, and it is inconceivable in Uzbekistan’s form of government that these statements could have been made without encouragement from above.
Bishkek reciprocated by threatening to cut the supply of water to Uzbekistan through water reservoirs and canals under Bishkek’s control; actions that Bishkek could possibly justify by referring to water shortages in many of Kyrgyzstan’s regions. In addition, both Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan insisted that they would proceed with building planned hydropower dams, which would drastically increase their control over the flow of water to Uzbekistan. They also implied that Moscow is on their side in these endeavors. Moscow provided an approving nod, intended to signal to Tashkent that its rapprochement with the U.S. has been noted. Indeed, Uzbekistan left the CSTO – the Russia-led security organization of post-Soviet states – in 2013 and opened a NATO office in Tashkent.
While these actions and responses follow a familiar pattern over the last decade, there are also new contextual circumstances. Russia’s moves in Ukraine, the annexation of Crimea on the stated grounds of protecting ethnic kin, and the inability of the West to prevent Moscow’s actions created a new precedent. And this might push Bishkek closer to Moscow’s orbit, albeit it would certainly seek to preserve a degree of independence.
Presently, Russia’s actions in Crimea could be taken to legitimate similar actions in other parts of the post-Soviet space. It should also be recalled that Uzbekistan has the strongest military in the region and Kyrgyzstan could hardly withstand it in the case of a direct confrontation, especially if Uzbekistan’s army would be supported by local Uzbeks. Bishkek’s apprehension is increased by Uzbekistan’s claim on disputed land near Osh and the continually tense situation in Osh. Some local observers believe that Uzbekistan could well absorb the enclave of Barak, formally a part of Kyrgyzstan but located inside Uzbekistan’s territory.
Another dimension concerns regional geopolitical arrangements. Despite Russia’s increasing involvement in the Ukrainian crisis – at least several thousand Russian regulars are fighting on the separatist side and Moscow has recently opened a new front in Southern Ukraine – the Western response has remained weak. The economic sanctions are still moderate and the U.S. and its NATO allies have no plans to send troops or even provide visible amounts of weapons to Ukraine as not to irritate Russia. The Western allies also demonstrated their limited ability to deal with the crisis in Iraq. This demonstrated to Bishkek – and of course to other Central Asian states and beyond – that in the case of a major military crisis with Uzbekistan or even with much weaker Dushanbe, the specter of which was actualized by the recent military clashes on the Tajikistan-Kyrgyzstan border, certainly makes Bishkek nervous.
But Bishkek’s problems are not limited to the possibility of bilateral conflicts with Uzbekistan or Tajikistan. The looming departure of the bulk of U.S. forces from Afghanistan and the spread of jihadism in the Middle East potentially has serious implications for Kyrgyzstan’s domestic security situation – around 100 Kyrgyz citizens are currently fighting in Syria. Bishkek hence has several incentives to think seriously about securing military support from outside.
Russia has again emerged as a possible patron, albeit its messages to Central Asian counterparts are contradictory. On the one hand, Moscow’s annexation of Crimea implies that it does not consider borders to be sacrosanct. On the other, Russia’s actions indicate that it is prepared to use force to protect its allies. On July 21–28, 2014, Russia executed large scale military exercises that engaged troops from Volga to Siberia. One objective of the maneuvers was to demonstrate Russia’s ability to bring troops into Central Asia. In August, Russian jets from the Kant airbase in Kyrgyzstan engaged in a new round of military exercises.
At the same time, Moscow continued to promise Bishkek economic benefits in return for its membership in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU). Russia’s legitimization of the war and Crimea’s annexation as well as its military prowess clearly plays a role in Bishkek’s thinking as Russia might provide some modicum of protection. Yet allegiances in Central Asia are fluid and Bishkek’s alignment with Moscow might not be permanent. Even if Kyrgyzstan would finally join the Eurasian Union, this would not prevent Bishkek from pursuing geopolitical relations with other players.
CONCLUSIONS: Kyrgyzstan has a history of tensions with its neighbors, of which those with Uzbekistan presents the most serious risks, due to its regional ambitions as well as the considerable number of Uzbek minorities in Kyrgyzstan. Like other countries in the region, Bishkek has long engaged in a “multi-vector” foreign policy. But the present security situation in the post-Soviet space and beyond and the clear inability of the West to guarantee small Central Asian states’ territorial integrity and defend them from Islamism might induce some of them, Kyrgyzstan in particular, to increasingly seek Russia’s protection. The eventual configuration of events could involve several scenarios. One is that Kyrgyzstan would indeed join the EEU not so much for the economic benefits involved but for the implied promise of security. Another scenario would entail a closer relationship with Russia without any direct affiliation with the EEU. This model might allow Bishkek to also receive economic largesse from nearby China and possibly Turkey.

Yosemite sunset from Glacier Point's View Terrace.
Arguably the most spectacular view in the park is at the end of Glacier Point Road, about an hour’s drive from Yosemite Valley. Here you can gaze out across the Sierra Nevada high country, with the curved tooth of Half Dome prominently in the foreground.
The welcome sign at Glacier Point. You can see Half Dome in the distance.
Glacier Point trail sign. This is the access to both the View Terrace and the Upper Terrace.
The View Terrace gives you a view of the eastern side of Yosemite Valley. From left to right: Half Dome, Liberty Cap, Vernal Falls (bottom), and Nevada Falls. In the background you can also see Mt. Florence (center) and Mt. Clark (right). Just out of view of the below photo on the right is Mt Starr King.

Full moon nights are a magical time to visit Glacier Point, where John Muir and US President Teddy Roosevelt once camped out. During summer, amateur astronomy clubs host star parties at Glacier Point Amphitheater in cooperation with the National Park Service.
Note Glacier Point Road is usually closed beyond the Badger Pass ski area from November until late May or early June.
The Four Mile Trail (actually 4.8 miles) can be hiked one-way during the summer by purchasing a one-way bus tour ticket between Yosemite Valley and Glacier Point. Note that tours can fill, so it is recommended to first ride the bus and then hike your return trip. Please visit a DNC tour desk for details.
It is strongly recommended that you take the hikers' bus to Glacier Point and hike down, rather than parking at Glacier Point and planning to catch the hikers' bus back up.

1. Take help when it’s offered - New babies are a lot of work and while you’ve spent a lot of time preparing, caring for your new son or daughter still requires a lot of work. Delegate simple tasks (like grocery shopping) to others. This way, you can focus on the most important part of caring for your new baby and ensure you get a chance to rest too.
2. Think long-term - Caring for your baby requires lots of attention now, but you can take small actions now to help solidify his/her future. Consider starting a college fund for your baby and take advantage of long term saving and planning. State Farm has numerous options to serve your saving needs.
3. Stock up - If you think you have enough diapers and baby wipes on hand, you don’t. You can always use more. Babies go through them – fast.
4. Babies Move – Before you know it, your baby will be mobile and have their hands in everything. Set up safety rules at home for your family to follow around the stove, sink, bathtub and electronics. Baby-proofing cabinets, doors and gates is never a bad idea.
5. Mistakes Happen - Don’t expect perfection. You’re going to make mistakes sometimes and that’s ok. Your baby will still be healthy and happy if you forget to turn on his or her light night one evening.
6. Check-in on your insurance – Make sure your family is covered and prepared for the unexpected. Talk to your insurance agent to be sure your health, home and auto insurance include everything you need to keep you and your new addition covered.
7. Take turns - You and your wife are a team – so don’t be afraid to pitch in with a late night feeding.
8. Learn the different kinds of crying – Not yours, your baby’s. Pay attention to how your newborn’s cries may differ based on what they need and you’ll be more ready to help them.
9. Trust your gut. As you care for your little one, don’t over think and overcomplicate things. Giving into fears makes you doubt yourself, and after all the preparing you’ve done, you’re definitely ready to be a new parent. Trust yourself – you can do it!
10. Enjoy yourself – Take the time to enjoy your new baby and being a Dad. There will be a big learning curve and some challenges along the way, be sure to stop along the way and enjoy the time with your baby, it goes fast!

Vision Machine rev 1 is a simple 3 osc subtractive synth that I have built by doing the ASDR tutorials on the Internet (and several other tutorials) to build a simple synth. So this is basically that synth plus a few extras.
The Synth currently comes with 52 snapshots.
It is my first synth that I consider useful enough to be uploaded to the Reaktor User Library and I already did use it in production.
To use this synth first cut down the volume as some patches can be loud. I tried to balance the volume out between patches but they still can be loud.
The special shine is added by the fx section. with Chorus, Reverb, Saturation/Distortion and Delay Especially the Reverb that I borrowed from another excellent Synth in the Library called Fluffy. So credits for this Reverb go to Paul Woodroffe. The Reverb alone can make the synth patches shine alone.
In the future I want to expand this synth with a warm multimode filter and I want to add routable LFO’s to it as well as a PEG (Pitch Envelope Generator) Suggestions on how to expand are welcome as this is a learning project for me.
Mono Mode is not working as I want.
I'm a total newbie to the technology aspect, but I really like the demo!
Like your vision, Jeroen. Lots of potential here!
Thank you Paule. Will do. For the next version I include that.
Go inside filter and insert an amp before output. Set level min -60 and max 0.
Hi Paule Thank you. Could you demonstrate which part I have to insert. Is it the level mixer or some other part. I would like to include it in the next version.
For myself I insert a leveler at filter output. So the master level reduced easier.

Constantly calls, I have never answered the call although i get the feeling they are scam artists as they never leave a voicemail. They are really annoying.
called about making a bank account to deposit money like a typical scammer. i confronted by reverse searching and telling him oh your from zurich? and he was freaked out. he knew he was scamming and still denied it being a "broker" when i tested his knowledge he rambled on about 'caring' for my family when he doesn't know a thing about me and ignored my questions.
Shortly after ending the call with an insatiable idiot, I received a txt with a virus embedded. My anti virus tool caught it, quarantined it and deleted it. Block this number!

Are breakfast cereals full of fat?
No. Breakfast cereals are a low-fat breakfast option. Most Nestlé breakfast cereals popular with children contain an average 4-7% fat; that’s less than 2g of fat per 30g serving.
Are breakfast cereals high in cholesterol?
No, breakfast cereals do not contribute to cholesterol intake.
Are the visas and travel insurance included?
No, it is the responsibility of the winner to organise visa's and travel insurance for the duration of the trip, if required.
Are there any interactions between the added micronutrients?
It’s well established that vitamin D promotes the absorption of calcium in the gut. Whilst some have argued there is an interaction between iron and calcium, the latest information shows no significant long-term effect of calcium on iron absorption/status (SACN, 2010).
Are there any restrictions on when I can travel?
The trips excludes travel at Christmas, New Year, Valentines, Easter, during Major Events and Bank Holidays (both departure country and USA)For full details on prize exclusions, please visit the terms and conditions page here.
Can processed foods be made with whole grain?
Yes. If a food product has the word “whole” listed on its ingredient label – wholewheat pasta or wholemeal bread, for example, then you know it’s been made with whole grain flour, even if the other ingredients are processed. By the way, even whole grains need to be processed: removing the inedible outer husk makes them safe to eat. But they’re less processed than refined grains, which require additional steps to remove the bran and germ.
Do all Nestlé breakfast cereals contain salt?
No. We have a wide variety of breakfast cereals. Some have added salt, some don’t. We display the amount on the pack’s nutrition information panel, so you know what you’re buying. In some countries we give the Guideline Daily Amount (GDA) for salt on the cereal pack, so you can see how much of your GDA you’re getting in each portion.
Do breakfast cereals really make a significant contribution to vitamin and mineral intakes?
Research shows that adults and children who regularly eat fortified breakfast cereals are more likely to reach their daily requirements of vitamins and minerals, including the B Vitamins and Iron. Eating whole grain breakfast cereal with milk is a nutritious way to start the day and can be part of a healthy, balanced diet.
Do I have to go on the trip or can I gift it to someone?
The prize is non-transferrable and the winner must attend the trip.
Do I have to make a purchase to enter?
Yes, you will need to purchase a pack of qualifying Nestlé Breakfast Cereal. Don’t worry, these packs are clearly marked with the campaign and can be found in all major retailers.
Do I need to keep my in-pack promo code and the receipt?
Yes, you must retain your receipt and promotional box to verify your purchase. If you are a potential winner, you will be asked to provide these as proof of eligibility, before the prize is officially awarded.
Do Nestlé breakfast cereals around the world all contain the same amount of sugar? If not, why not?
No. As tastes vary from region to region, the amount of sugar we add to our cereals depends on where they’re being sold. But we’re committed to ensuring the added sugar levels in our products for children and teenagers won’t exceed 9g per 30g serving from the end of 2015. And we’re always looking for ways to reduce sugar in our products – wherever in the world they’re sold.
Do Nestlé breakfast cereals contain a lot of sugar?
Our cereals do contain sugar - but it isn’t the main ingredient. Cereal is made mostly from grain, which makes it a source of fibre, vitamins and minerals. One serving of Nestlé Breakfast Cereals targeted to kids and teens contains on average just 2 teaspoons of sugar. And we’re working on reducing that amount - by the end of 2015, our children’s cereals* will contain around 30% less sugar overall **– and will still taste just as great.
Do Nestlé breakfast cereals contain added vitamins and minerals?
Yes, we ‘fortify’ our cereals by adding vitamins and minerals to most of them, although the amount varies across regions and depends whether fortification is allowed. Whenever a vitamin or mineral is added to one of our cereals, we make sure it provides at least 15% of your recommended daily allowance (RDA) for that nutrient.
Do Nestlé breakfast cereals contain artificial sweeteners?
No. Artificial sweeteners don’t work in the same way as sugars, so they are not typically used in breakfast cereals. One way we replace the sugars taken out of our cereals is by increasing the amount of whole grains, like wheat and rice.
Do Nestlé products contain soluble or insoluble fibre?
It depends on the grain we’ve used. Different grains contain different proportions of soluble and insoluble fibre. For example, wheat is high in insoluble fibre, and barley and oats are high in soluble fibre (which is why porridge goes sticky when you cook it).
Does including gluten-free products in one’s diet help them lose weight?
No. Gluten-free products are not linked to weight loss. People choose them if they’re sensitive to gluten or have Coeliac Disease.
Does including gluten-free products in your diet lower your risk of heart disease?
There’s no evidence to suggest this.
Does Nestlé apply the same standards globally?
Yes, we apply the same standards all over the world to make sure all our cereals are of the same quality. We also make sure we meet the individual needs of different regions. For example, we add zinc to our cereals in Latin America because there is a specific need for zinc in that region.
Does reducing the sugar of breakfast cereals lower the GI?
It‘s a common myth that lowering sugar in a food lowers the GI. You can’t predict the GI of a breakfast cereal from the amount of sugar in it. In fact, some high sugar cereals have a low GI and some low sugar cereals have a high GI. For example, Corn Flakes have a high GI (77) and FROSTIES® have a low GI (55).
No. The amount of sugar in breakfast cereals is no more (and often less) than other common breakfast choices like fruit and yogurt, fruit juice, or toast with jam.
Does this product contain whole grain?
Not all of our Gluten Free Corn Flakes contain whole grain – it they do, the pack will have the Nestlé Green Banner.
Has Nestlé added anything to its Gluten Free Corn Flakes to make sure they taste the same and have the same texture as original corn flakes?
No. We’ve simply replaced the barley malt with brown sugar.
How do I enter the promotion?
To enter the promotion, simply purchase a qualifying pack of Nestlé Breakfast Cereal. Enter the in-pack promotional code, along with your email address, and submit your entry. If you are the winner, you will be directed to a page where you can enter your personal details to claim your prize!
How do I know how much sugar is in my Nestlé breakfast cereal?
We’re committed to giving our consumers clear and accurate nutritional information in a format that best helps them make informed decisions about their diet. We use Guideline Daily Amounts (GDA) on our products. These make the nutrition information easy to understand and help people make informed choices. The information is factual, objective and clear. We believe it’s the most neutral and informative system currently available. In addition to local food labelling requirements, almost all Nestlé Breakfast Cereals carry the ‘Nestlé Nutritional Compass’, which is a clear, transparent labelling guide, giving consumers easy-to-understand and detailed nutritional information on protein, carbohydrate, fat and sugar content and how much is in a single portion.
How does the Glycaemic Index classify foods?
Foods are given a GI ‘score’ to show how fast your blood sugar levels rise in response to an intake of carbohydrates. The higher the score, the faster the blood sugar level rises. A GI value of 70 or more is considered high, one of 56-69 is medium, and one of 55 or less is low. The lower the score, the slower the rate of carbohydrate absorption, and the lower the rise in blood sugar level.
You can enter the promotion from 23/08/2018 – 06/09/2018.
How much salt do Nestlé cereals contain?
The amount of salt and/or sodium in our cereals is listed on the pack. Breakfast cereals don’t actually add much salt to most diets. Most contain only small amounts of salt per portion and generally contribute less than 10% of the salt adults and children consume. A 30g serving of NESQUIK® has only 0.15g of salt – that’s only 3% of the average recommended daily intake. But for the last 15 years we’ve been working to reduce the salt and sodium in our breakfast cereals, because we want to keep on making them more nutritious.
How much saturated fat does palm oil contain?
About 50% saturated fat, which is about the same as other fat products like butter. However, we only use small quantities of palm oil in most of our breakfast cereals, so it doesn’t impact significantly on the amount of saturated fat in our products. All of our breakfast cereals contain less than 5% saturated fat.
How much whole grain do I need to eat every day?
Keep it simple: make grains the base of your diet and choose whole grains over refined grains wherever possible. U.S Dietary Guidelines recommend eating 3 servings (48g) a day. So, whenever you look for breakfast cereals, bread, pasta, rice or flour to cook at home, look for the word “whole”, ideally among the first ingredients in the list.

If Nestlé breakfast cereals have a high GI, doesn’t that make them unhealthy?
No. It’s not accurate to define the healthiness of a food by considering one component in isolation – whether it’s GI, sugar or fibre content. There’s no universal agreement among experts on the effect on GI on health. GI doesn’t tell you how nutritious a food is. It indicates the availability of the carbohydrate to digestion. Oats, for example, are medium GI, but they’re 100% whole grain, high in fibre, a source of protein and have with no added sodium. Although our breakfast cereals have medium to high GIs, they’re usually consumed with milk (which has a low GI), which lowers the overall glycaemic load (GL) of the meal. The GI may be useful for people with diabetes to help them manage their blood glucose levels – though the evidence on this isn’t consistent either. The European Food Safely Authority (EFSA) has yet to approve any health claims linked to GI. And the other evidence linking GI, GL and health is largely inconclusive.
Is 'vegetable oil' the same as 'palm oil'?
Not necessarily. Not all vegetable oil is palm oil. A whole range of different types of vegetable oils are used in food products. Some are palm oil, but not all. Many other oils are used, like coconut, sunflower or rapeseed oil.
No. Coeliac Disease is a lifelong autoimmune disease caused by intolerance to gluten with the only treatment being a gluten-free diet. Also, some people are sensitive to gluten but do not display the clinical symptoms of Coeliac Disease, meaning they feel better if they exclude gluten from their diet.
Is it better to eat gluten-free products or products containing gluten, such as wheat?
People with Coeliac Disease or non-coeliac gluten sensitivity, need to avoid gluten, but others might simply choose to go gluten-free now and again. Whole grain foods may be suitable for everyone (except those requiring special diets), as they contain nutrients found naturally in all 3 parts of the grain. Dietary recommendations in many countries encourage consumption of whole grain foods as part of our daily grain intake.
Is the calcium in Nestlé breakfast cereals used by our bodies?
Yes, research shows calcium in cereals can be absorbed and used by the body. In fact, it’s absorbed at nearly the same rate as the calcium in dairy products like milk.
Should children and adults consume the same serving size?
Because children and teenagers have different daily energy needs to adults, they need different size portions to help them meet their recommended daily allowances (RDA) of nutrients. It’s generally recommended that breakfast provides around 20% of daily energy intake. For a child aged 4-8 years old, we recommend a portion size of between 25-30g, as part of a balanced breakfast, but for an adult this would be on average 30-45g. Find out more about serving sizes.
“Whole Grain” means that all parts of the grain are present: the bran, the germ and the endosperm. These three components of a grain contain different nutrients, which play an important part in helping the plant grow and stay healthy.
What form of iron does Nestlé add to its breakfast cereals?
Because some forms of iron can affect the taste of the product, we use it in a reduced form. This is still easily absorbed and used by the body. The amount of iron your body absorbs depends on how much you’re lacking - so the more you need, the more you’ll absorb.
Coeliac disease is a lifelong autoimmune disease, caused by the immune system reacting to gluten.
The general name for proteins found in cereal grains such as wheat. It holds the food together, like a ‘glue’, and gives dough its elasticity.
Non-coeliac gluten sensitivity describes people who are unable to tolerate gluten. They experience similar symptoms to sufferers of coeliac disease but don't appear to have damaged intestines (which people with coeliac disease do).
The bran’s the outer layer of the grain. It protects the seed and is rich in fibre. It’s used in whole grain flour, not white flour.
The endosperm is the biggest part of the grain. It mainly contains carbohydrates. It’s the reserve the young plant lives on until its grown roots. The endosperm is milled to make white flour.
The germ is the embryo the new plant grows from. It’s used in whole grain flour, not white flour.
What is the Glycaemic Index of breakfast cereals?
Breakfast cereals usually have a high or medium GI score – which will be lowered by adding milk. Lots of things can affect a cereal’s GI, like the heating and processing of the grains during manufacturing to make them safe and tasty to eat. Some intact whole grain cereals, like oats and mueslis, may have a low GI score – but not always: you can’t work out the GI just by looking at a product’s nutrition label. It’s calculated by testing each product in the human body. During manufacturing, cereals can change their GI, so the GI of a cereal made in one market could have a different GI in another market due to differences in production. Batch cooked corn flakes, for example, have a very different GI value (132) from extruded corn flakes (72). It’s not just the GI of a product that’s important. What really matters is the overall impact on blood sugar levels of a whole meal, since foods interact with each other. For instance, the GI of breakfast cereals will significantly decrease when consumed with milk.
We’ve all heard of ‘blood sugar’ levels, and how keeping them balanced helps maintain even energy levels and weight. The Glycaemic Index (GI) is a biological indicator of how the levels of glucose in your blood are affected by a fixed amount of carbohydrates in foods or drinks. Put simply, it tells you whether the carbohydrate is ‘slow’ or ‘fast’ releasing.

What role does palm oil play in Nestlé breakfast cereals?
Palm oil plays an important role in Nestle Breakfast Cereals as, among other things, it helps us to achieve the crunchy texture we all enjoy in the morning.
What timeline do I have to book the travel?
Prizes must be claimed and booked at least 3 months in advance and must be claims and booked by the winner within 12 months from date of initial winner contact.
What vitamins and minerals does Nestlé fortify its breakfast cereals with?
Nestlé breakfast cereals are usually fortified with a minimum of 5 vitamins (B2, B6, niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), folic acid (B9), and, in some recipes, vitamin D), and 2 minerals (calcium and iron).
What’s the difference between a whole grain and a refined grain?
A ‘whole’ grain has more nutrients than a ‘refined’ grain, because all parts of the grain are retained – kernel, bran, endosperm and germ – along with their fibre, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. But most of the bran and germ are removed when producing refined grains. Whole grains therefore contain more nutrients than refined grains.
What’s the recommended serving size for breakfast cereals?
The serving size we indicate on our packs is based on history of use, product density and average intake data (people actually consume around 30 to 45g). The recommended serving size for breakfast cereals depends on age, gender, and level of physical activity. We provide clear front of pack information to help people make informed decisions about what they eat for breakfast. We pioneered the adoption of the monochrome Guideline Daily Amounts (GDA) system for displaying nutritional information.
Where can I get more information on Glycaemic Index?
Why are Nestlé breakfast cereals fortified with vitamins and minerals?
To get your day off to a great start, your breakfast should include a good serving of vitamins and minerals, because they’re essential for a healthy diet. That’s why we fortify our breakfast cereals. We add Vitamin D to many of our children’s cereals, because in most countries kids aren’t getting enough of it. And FITNESS® is fortified with vitamins and minerals of interest to women, like calcium, iron and folic acid.
The serving sizes mentioned on breakfast cereals can slightly differ, mainly due to differences in product density. Beyond its nutrients density, it’s also important for the portion size to suit the average cereal bowl. Some types of breakfast cereals, such as mueslis or granolas, are denser than traditional flakes; so a 30g serving could look tiny and unrealistic in a bowl – that's why we use 45g as a reference. These different serving sizes have been defined by the European cereals trade association and consistently applied by all industry members in Europe.
Why does Nestlé fortify its breakfast cereals with iron?
It’s widely accepted that iron is an important part of a healthy diet and many people around the world don’t get enough. Our cereals generally contain 15% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of iron. Check the label to see the iron levels in your cereal.
Why has Nestlé introduced Gluten Free Corn Flakes?
In 2014, we launched Gluten Free Corn Flakes in response to increasing demand for alternative breakfast cereal options. We were the first to bring gluten-free cereals to the mainstream cereal aisle at an affordable price. Our Gluten Free Corn Flakes provide an alternative for people looking for great-tasting breakfast cereal with no gluten, for example people with Coeliac Disease or gluten intolerance.
Why is a gluten-free diet recommended for people with coeliac disease?
A gluten-free diet is the only treatment for coeliac disease.
Why is salt added to cereals?
Salt is added to a lot of foods, not just cereals. We add it to our cereals for flavour and texture - and because it’s a preservative. It’s important for quality, and because without it, the natural grain flavour can seem raw and bland. Each breakfast cereal has an individual recipe developed through extensive consumer testing, so we can give you a product you’ll love with great flavour and a long shelf life.

Target 1 monster “Fur Hire” in your GY; Special Summon it in Defense Position. You can only activate 1 “Mayhem Fur Hire” per turn.
Mayhem Fur Hire is the archetypes Monster Reborn.
A quick-play is great, giving you the flexibility of using it either turn. Defense position isn’t too bad to have the Fur Hire monster, though it limits your offense if it’s your turn. This card is more of a defensive and combo card than offensive. Use it during your opponents turn to Special Summon a Fur Hire, in turn activating one of your other Fur Hire monster’s effects like Donpa and Recon to destroy cards on the field. It can be used to get one of your big guys back to be a wall, as well as activate their effects off their Special Summon.
It is a good card to start the combos this deck likes to do, and with the Quick-Play status, allows for combos during either turn.
Mayhem Fur Hire is a Quick Play Spell Card that lets you Special Summon a targeted Fur Hire Monster for free once per turn. I’m not sure why this card calls them monster Fur Hire instead of Fur Hire monster, but that doesn’t change anything. The Special Summoned monster needs to be in Defense Position, so no Links, but obviously you can go into Links. Not perfect in the opening hand, but you can set it and forget it like Back to the Front. Mayhem Fur Hire is just good support since it can trigger low level Fur Hire effects during the opponent’s turn. Definitely worth running in multiples.
We continue this week Fur Hire with the Monster Reborn Fur Hire, Mayhem Fur Hire.
Mayhem is a Quick-Play Spell, which is nice to make it a little more versatile. When activated, you can target a monster Fur Hire in the GY and Special Summon it in Defense Position. You can only activate Mayhem Fur Hire once per turn. Any deck getting a themed Monster Reborn is great, and Fur Hires could really use it. Most of the smaller Fur Hires have low ATK, so if you are reviving them, it should be fine that they go to DEF. Mayhem Fur Hire is a great card for the deck. Short, sweet, and to the point. Make sure you run it in your decks Fur Hire.

LiSEC bending machines are provided with a high degree of control intelligence. Irrespective of the sequence of orders, it is possible to load the profile magazine with up to 15 different profiles. The LiSEC control software makes sure that the correct material is always chosen. The automatically adjustable bending tool adapts itself to the chosen profile thickness – which, in turn, enables considerable time savings.
The profile magazine is available with 4-, 6-, 8- and 15- profile slots. The profile magazine is filled manually, the profiles are switched automatically.
The processing steps of the patented bending process of SWISSPACER spacers are comparable to those for processing other materials – the most important differences are the warming up and cooling down: The material is warmed up during the feeding process, then it is bent very fast and quickly cooled down by cooled compressed air. The uninterrupted bending process allows the structure and the properties of the back-sheet and the butyl flank remain unchanged.
The new saw unit allows the operator to cut aluminum, steel, stainless steel and plastic profiles as well as hybrid profiles with only one saw blade. The rotational speed and the direction of rotation are automatically adjusted to the material, which doubles the service life of the saw blade.

In this scene, the silhouettes of the figures and the dog were painted in black gloss. The artist then incised the details of their anatomy and clothing. The woman’s flesh was covered with white, details such as the dog’s collar and the wreaths worn by the woman and the man on the left were painted red, and red and white patterns were added to some of their clothing. The vase was then fired. Below the picture field, thin red bands encircle the vase.
These two vases are decorated in the most popular techniques of ancient vase painting, black-figure (left) and red-figure (right).
The black-figure technique, developed in Corinth, was used widely during the Archaic period (700–480 B.C.). Gloss, a slip made from refined clay, was applied to all areas intended to be black. For the figural scene the silhouettes of the figures and other elements were painted in gloss, sometimes following the lines of a preliminary sketch scratched into the surface. Using a sharp tool, the artist created details by incising through the gloss to the light clay ground below. Colors such as purple-red and white, made from a gloss with mineral pigments, were then added. After a three-stage firing process applying alternately less and more oxygen, the gloss turned black. In its finest form, it was quite shiny.
Invented in Athens around 530 B.C., the red-figure technique reverses the decorative black-figure scheme. The figures are now red instead of black, and not necessarily confined within a bounded picture field. Sometimes the artist etched or sketched the scene and then outlined the important contours in a gloss that is slightly thicker. Details were painted, sometimes with a dilute form of the gloss, making them lighter, and sometimes with a thicker form, so they appear in relief. Red and white details were sometimes added, and the undecorated portions of the vase were coated with gloss. They were fired in the same process as black-figure vases.

Not sure whether to laugh or cry. Ubuntu 16.04 is now the latest release. I grabbed a server ISO and decided to install - so I could do some dtrace fixes for the Linux 4.4 kernel.
I go through a routine of a base install, get my .profile/.bashrc, bin/ and various other things to make the VM my "home".
First thing is to create my login id as part of the install. Alas, over the years, my UID has been set out of bounds during an install. To make life easier, I ensure I have the same UID across all systems - despite it not really being relevant. But it helps.
First thing: sudo to root, vi /etc/passwd and change my UID to the preferred one. Then "chown -R fox ." on my home dir, logout, and login again. All is ready.
Alas, sudo has a naughty bug in it. Since I have my UID==GID, I also need to edit /etc/group.
Guess what I forgot to do? Yes. Forgot to edit /etc/group.
So now what? Well, "sudo" nicely core dumps on you when your group doesnt match. WTF?! Its 2016 !
Ok, so lets boot to single user mode, vi /etc/group, and carry on.

Trial and error is sometimes a good way for interesting findings, in the windsurfbusiness I don't see much extreme things. But there are plenty of handy windsurfers willing too sacrifice time and equipment for science!! Here 2 amateur projects, I like to read about such projects. I often don't believe this experiments perform better in most conditions, but there always a chance of getting usefull information..
PS begin 2010 I read something about twinfin speedboard testing. Don't remember who did this, anybody knows more??? Any findings???
It was me who "trew a ball up" about twinfins on speedboards, looking at kiters :-). I don't know if someone really tried it. Interesting though!
There was actually a manufactorer (don't know small or big brand) that did produce a couple of twinfins speedboards. I thought for an italian guy, but don't know for sure anymore.
Maybe for the guys competing at the Luderitz speedevent ("principe" Baldini)?

6th July 2017— Lenovo, through its subsidiary, Motorola Mobility, has today announced that its latest mobile device, the Moto Z² Play, will be available to pre-order in the UK from 6th July 2017. With a thinner, lighter design and faster performance, the second-generation Moto Z² Play delivers incredible features, and enables unlimited possibilities with all new Moto Mods.
As the Moto Z family continues to grow with the Moto Mods ecosystem, Motorola is allowing users to do things they never thought possible. The Moto Z² Play will be available to pre-order from 6th July at Motorola.co.uk, along with a host of new Moto Mods that will transform the smartphone, including: JBL SoundBoost 2, Moto TurboPower Pack, and the Moto Style Shell with Wireless Charging.
Take brighter, sharper photos, even in low light, with the combination of laser autofocus and dual autofocus pixel technology on Moto Z² Play. The next generation laser autofocus has an expanded range of up to 5 metres, so you can focus on objects three times further in a virtually dark environment. And with the 5MP front camera and dual colour corrected flash, selfies look great, day or night.
New Moto Experiences offer an even more unique and meaningful software experience, including the Night Display feature, which automatically adjust your screen to warmer tones at night, reducing the blue light that can disrupt your sleep. Instant queries in Moto Voice will provide helpful info like weather or calendar updates, and a redesigned fingerprint reader.
Last year, Motorola introduced Moto Mods, to add transformative new functions that aren’t available on any other smartphones. Now, users have even more possibilities in mobile modularity.
The first generation JBL SoundBoost helped get the party started, and with the upgraded JBL SoundBoost 2, the party can keep going for even longer. The new SoundBoost 2 gives a full party’s worth of music with 10 hours of playtime built right in. And with its water-repellant coating, a little spill or splash won’t stop the music either. It comes in red, blue or black, features a more premium design with fabric and improved contours for a better feel in your hand.
There’s also a new app available, called My JBL SoundBoost 2, so that you can adjust the sound to personal preferences. Whether you’re listening to music, watching videos or even cheering on your favourite team, the built-in kickstand gives you a truly immersive audio-visual experience. All in a snap, with no pairing required.
Instantly add an extra day of battery life with the Moto TurboPower Pack, or just recharge on the go when you need to power up – when the power pack runs out of juice, just plug it in and power up to 50% in just 20 minutes.
Cut the cord – and the clutter – with a Moto Style Shell with Wireless Charging. Add fast wireless charging (up to 10W) to the Moto Z family with an ultra-sleek, stylish design.
Moto Z² Play will be available for pre-order on www.motorola.co.uk from 6th July and in John Lewis, Amazon, Argos and other key retailers from August priced at £379.
