Sony's recent foray into the OLED TV segment gets a big boost with the new A8F OLED Smart TV, but does this Sony justify its price?
The Sony A8F OLED TV is available in two sizes – 55-inch and 65-inch, priced from Rs 329,900.
The TV is powered by the Sony X1 Extreme image processor.
The A8F is a smart TV, powered by the Android TV platform.
When it comes to TVs, there is an unofficial and widely agreed upon top three – Samsung, Sony and LG. These three brands are considered the best in the world, and they’re usually my go-to options when someone asks me for advice on which TV to buy. Naturally, I’m excited when I get a new Sony TV to review, especially when it’s a high-end option.
Sony’s latest TV in India is the A8F OLED Smart TV, which is this year’s version of its popular OLED TVs. At its heart, there isn’t much change in the TV from the Sony KD-65A1 that was launched last year. But when it comes to design, Sony has made some significant improvements. Priced at Rs 329,900 for the 55-inch variant, and Rs 449,900 for the 65-inch TV, the Sony A8F is a top-of-the-range option from the Japanese electronics giant. We give the 55-inch Sony A8F OLED TV a go in our review.
While Sony has always built its TVs to look good, the A8F pushes the boundaries even further. The Japanese TV maker has further trimmed the bezels and slimmed-down the TV to make it an even more attractive package. If you’re looking from the front, almost the entirety of what you see is screen. The bezels are so narrow that there isn’t even room for the Sony logo at the front.
What you do get at the bottom of the screen is a simple light indicator to let you know when the TV is switched on. Sony’s design philosophy is clear here; the screen and what you’re watching on it needs to be the center of attention. Even the stand is as inconspicuous as it can get. Unlike other stands, this one doesn’t raise the height of the TV at all, instead having the TV sit just above the table you place it on. The result is a refreshing lack of distractions, with your focus on the screen.
The TV itself is incredibly slim, thanks to the OLED panel. It does bulk up a bit towards the middle-bottom right above the stand, but much of the TV is slimmer than your smartphone. While it’s definitely nicer looking if you stand-mount the TV, you do have the option to wall-mount as well. The TV’s ports face either the left side or the bottom, with most important ones at the side for easier access. In total, you get four HDMI ports, three USB ports, and one port each for composite video, Ethernet and audio out.
You might also be wondering where the sound comes from when the TV is so slim and so screen-focused. The Sony A8F sports an acoustic surface, meaning that there’s a total of 50W of sound through five 10W drivers sitting behind the screen. The sound is surprisingly loud and clean for speakers you can’t even see, and you could manage without a soundbar or home theater system for most viewing. At its peak volume, it’s enough to cause vibrations in the room.
With a 55-inch 4K OLED panel, the Sony A8F has one of the best screens available on a TV today. Deep down inside it’s an LG-made panel, but Sony does have its own tweaks going into it that add to the quality of the picture. The TV also supports HDR, with compatibility for the HDR10 standard. The TV supports a 60Hz refresh rate on all resolutions including 4K, and feature’s Sony’s excellent 4K HDR X1 Extreme image processor.
The remote on the TV is surprisingly ordinary, which is perhaps the only significant drawback to this TV. It’s an ordinary remote with an IR blaster, so it will need to be pointed at the TV to be used. This may not seem like a big deal, but a lot of modern high-end TVs now come with RF or Bluetooth-powered remotes that work without needing to be pointed at the screen.
Additionally, it doesn’t have any ‘wand’ capabilities, so navigation will still need the classic D-pad. You get the admittedly gimmicky Netflix and Google Play dedicated buttons on the remote, as well as a whole lot of buttons for various functions. I’ll agree that it gets the job done, but this old-fashioned approach doesn’t go too well with the rest of the modernity in the Sony A8F OLED TV.
The Sony A8F OLED TV is a smart TV, and runs Android TV operating system. While Android may rule the smartphone space, Android TV isn’t a default winner in the smart TV segment, and is fairly well matched by other platforms such as Samsung’s Tizen-based interface and LG’s WebOS. Sony is the largest manufacturer on the Android TV platform and serves as a poster-brand for it.
On the whole it’s a capable enough operating system for a smart TV, with plenty of well-designed apps in place already. Navigating is easy enough thanks to the tile interface, and apps are built to work well on a large screen with D-pad navigation. Most of the useful apps for content, including YouTube, Netflix, Hotstar, Amazon Prime Video and Google Play are present, giving you a good collection of internet-based content on the TV. You also get 16GB of internal storage which you can use to install more apps off the Google Play Store for Android TV.
A particularly useful feature in the Sony A8F OLED TV is the built-in Chromecast, as well as support for Miracast. This lets you directly mirror your Android phone’s screen on the TV, as well as ‘cast’ the picture from supported smartphone apps. It’s useful for people that use their smartphones as media controllers, and is admittedly easier to use than the actual smart TV interface in many ways. While the Chromecast can be buggy in general, the built-in one worked well enough for me.
Most modern TVs today come with LED panels, which is to say it’s a Liquid Crystal Display with Light Emitting Diode backlighting. OLED panels have each pixel individually lit, which means that the screen can simply switch off pixels that don’t need color, as opposed to using an artificial shade of black. On the Sony A8F OLED TV, this is of course the biggest advantage. Colors are clean, black levels are superior, and the picture is as close as a screen can get to real life, particularly if you’re also using HDR content.
As with all 4K TVs, the best performance is seen when you don’t force the TV to upscale content. Performance with UHD video is therefore excellent, and the TV sits among the best I’ve used for 4K content. That’s not to say that upscaling on the Sony A8F is bad; it’s actually very good thanks to the X1 Extreme processor. Even if you’re watching 720p or standard definition content, you’ll find the TV doing a good job with making low-resolution content fit on a screen with over eight million pixels. However, if most of your viewing is standard-definition or HD content, a TV such as this may be an entirely unnecessary investment to start with.
Full-HD content, which would likely be the most viewed resolution if you own a 55-inch 4K OLED TV, is upscaled very well on the Sony A8F. Whether you’re watching from a set-top box, Blu-Ray player or streamed from online, you’ll get a consistent, quality picture. Colors, textures, brightness, motion and sharpness are all excellent.
If you step up to HDR content, performance is the best you can possibly get from a TV today. HDR boasts more accurate colors and higher peak brightness, both of which are plain to see on the Sony A8F with good content. On the whole, the A8F is among the best TVs you can buy today when it comes to performance.
Just as flagship smartphones have been moving to OLED-based screen technologies, it’s only obvious that the best TVs do the same. While the higher cost of OLED panels has kept the price of these TVs relatively high, recent years have seen it drop to reasonable levels. This means that you can have a flagship OLED TV such as the Sony A8F at under Rs 350,000 for the 55-inch variant, while enjoying the benefits of the new screen tech.
While OLED TVs are still a relatively rare product, there are a handful of options available from other brands, notably LG (which also happens to make the panel for the Sony A8F). But what sets the Sony apart and makes it such a good option are a number of factors, including the Android TV operating system, excellent performance with content of all resolutions, and good HDR performance.
But its biggest advantage is in its design. Its minimalism makes it beautiful, the acoustic display adds to its quality, and the slimness makes it all about what you see on the screen, which is exactly how it should be. On the whole, the Sony A8F OLED TV is the TV of the future; it’s a combination of all the best bits of modern TV technology, giving you quality picture and function in a single package. It isn’t cheap, but quality comes at a price. However, be assured that your investment is getting you the best possible option if you do decide to buy the Sony A8F OLED TV.

The sailing schools are located close to a car park. In the surroundings are restaurants, cafes and supermarkets. But, at the same time, they are located at the beach. You can feel in the middle of the nature since we are in a natural enclave of magnificent beauty as is the Bajo Guadiana.
We have an information office to help you in whatever you need, a classroom where we teach to students before go to sailing and a tent to store the material. It also has shower and changing room.
We have idyllic conditions for the activities we do. In front of the sailing school there are sand islands which, apart from make an interesting environment, they allow safety conditions without waves and currents. The possibility of cancel an activity for adverse conditions are very low.
Regarding the material, we have 5 catamaranes, 25 windsurf equipment, 20 paddle surf boards, 30 places among double and simple kayaks, 20 surf boards, 5 children’s catamarans, 20 hidropedales and 150 lifejackets. In some occasions, we have covered groups of 120 people.

Our designs, at every scale, derive from the interrelation of parameters such as material performance, environmental conditions and available budget. This constitutes them dynamic, able to adapt to client/user’s preferences at every stage of the project. Such data-driven design processes enable the creation of non-standard forms with emphasis on details and practicality.
We have the capability to develop production files and processes for the digital fabrication of complex forms. By using digital fabrication techniques, such as CNC milling, laser cutting, 3D printing and robotic fabrication, mass customized geometries can be materialized with the minimum cost and material waste.
We aim to design structurally challenging geometries with cost-efficient and simple construction processes. This is obtained by combining innovative processes such as 3D scanning, structural analysis and performance simulations. Our objective is to use cutting edge construction processes in order to create sustainable design solutions.

When working with clients to develop an innovation strategy, we typically discuss ways to innovate internal business procedures. We spend time brainstorming on the various steps in the internal business procedures and look for ways to simplify or eliminate steps to streamline those procedures.
However, before we get to the issue of innovating a business procedure, there’s a preliminary question: Is the procedure necessary?
I recently worked with a company that performs repair services on electronic appliances. The company had a detailed “inventory procedure” that was completed every morning before the store opened. The procedure required an employee to print a report of all “open” repair orders from the computer. Then, the employee handling the inventory procedure that morning checked to be sure that every appliance in for repair was actually in the store. The employee manually checked off each appliance on the list.
This process took over an hour each morning, and the employees hated it. When I began asking questions about the procedure, I learned that the completed checklist was filed away and never used again. And, if they could not find an appliance shown on the printed list, a notation was made on the list, but no effort was made to determine what happened to the missing appliance. When I asked why they did this, the answer was “that’s what’s in our business policies and procedures”. After discussing the procedure with several people, including store managers, I learned that there was no reason to continue that daily procedure.
There’s no bigger waste of time and resources than making an effort to optimize a business procedure that doesn’t need to be performed in the first place.
Take a look at your own internal business procedures and be sure there is a valid business reason for continuing those procedures. I encourage you to share your discoveries and your thoughts.

The legacy of the twentieth century was the world-wasting nuclear firestorm that destroyed a way of life forever, leaving humanity without hope. But in a hidden valley Ryan Cawdor an his warrior survivalists encounter an awesome force, a power that can heal or destroy.
In the Deathlands life is locked in mortal combat, and the only way out is the future.
Mr. Eliis did a very nice job of blending "The Magnificent Seven/ Garden of Evil/ McKenna's Gold" westerns into a post apocalypse western. While the story line may not be a new one, it made for a very good DL read and a refreshing change of pace. I wonder if Mose Autry is a descendent of Gene Autry? Being part Cherokee I found the Indian mysticism interesting though a bit over done for my taste, but thats just me. The only other complaint I have with an otherwise fine read is that I thought the characterizations of the companions to be a little out of sync, especially Ryan's. I didn't care for Mr.Ellis' interpretation of Ryan's character as much as Mr.James'. All in all it still ranks as one of the better DL books.
Demons of Eden is the second Deathlands book by Mark Ellis and it's another indication of what the series could have been if he had either stayed with it or other writers had followed the kind of stories he told.
A very rich story, the book felt almost like a big epic western movie. There was great stuff about American indian legends and lore that showed up in the Outlanders series.
I thought the Cavern of Creation premise was brilliant.
A great book and coming from somebody who really doesn't care anything about the DL series, that's quite the testament to the quality!
This book was a great read. My only real problem with it is the complete impossibility of the prairie schooners. The story was original, and very well written. The mythology was interesting, and left you wanting more. I give it a 9.
DEMONS OF EDEN IS PARADISE READING!!
Mark Ellis is just priceless when he delivers us a fresh rendition of yet another great DEATHLANDS adventure.
Demons of Eden was so well written with everything from pirates to Amerindians, with a land full of mystery and beauty that I was just spellbound reading this one.
Mark Ellis does just a wonderful job of mixing Indian lore with Deathlands here that it just fit like a well-worn glove to this post-holocaust universe.
What can I say, Mark Ellis is a master storyteller in both series, and I find myself very fortunate to read each and every one of his exciting tales.
Demons of Eden took a very unique approach to the Western themes which Laurence James was so addicted. This book had very real, raw "frontier" feel to it.
Mark Ellis offered what seemed a like a genuine portrayel of plains Indians and their religions rather than the Hollywood version which had been featured in other DL novels.
The hidden valley of Ti-Ra-Way where many Indian cultures had retreated to was fascinating as well as the manifestation of genuine Earth or Gaia energy. But what the heck are "Lea" lines? Ley lines? Who is responsible for that mistake?
That was the only thing which keeps me from giving Demons of Eden a 10 rating. Other than that, it's a great read.
Another 10 from Mark Ellis, this is a story of two warring factions, one of which is allied with human intelligent wolves!
Also it has a fragment of creation showing that the way of the world is not exactly as it seems.. I wont give away too much, but its a must for DL collectors!
Its a paradise with a catch.. maybe.. Eden..
So far, Demons of Eden is the only book in the Deathlands series I have read, athough I started Devil Riders.
Demons of Eden is apparently unique among most of the books, having an unusual degree of character development and research not typical of the other novels in the series.
As an educator in Native American history, I found this book to be very well-researched, with a mystical sci-fi spin on the Native legends about how man and beast were once able to commune on an equal level.
Although the level of violence was a bit too graphic, I was engaged on a number of different levels by Demons of Eden and even recommended it to my colleagues.
I never thought I would give ten stars to a Deathlands novel, but in this case, you gotta give it what it deserves. No small wonder Mark Ellis is the author behind the Axler name on this title.
Demons of Eden is a fantastic entry in the DL series, so much so that it is almost a stand-alone adventure novel of classic stature anyone can enjoy, wheather or not you read any other books in this series.
The book is full of epic battles and journeys, full of adventure taking place near the rocky mountain area of the future post nuke America. Ryan and his friends spend much of the first portion of the book in a clash with prairie pirates, in an exciting defense of a village. This is where a connection to Stoneface enters the picture. The Indian Ryan meets in that novel has a huge role in Demons of Eden. And the development with this character plunges Ryan and his gang into a world unlike any they have ever seen before. The author weaves an interesting and mysterious element of Indian legend into the story, with great plot twists, and creates a fascinating world hidden from the rest of Deathlands, well drawn characters and grand adventure. And don't forget the action. Tons of that here!
I also really enjoyed the wolf called Blood-sniffer. If you like wolves, you've got to read this story!
This book is without question the best book in the series I have read so far, and I doubt there could be many that could match the quality of this novel. Superb writing from the start to the last page.

text: Abstract: Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) describes a suite of techniques for characterising electronic systems, with applications in physics, materials science, chemistry, and biology. However, the requirement for large electron spin ensembles in conventional ESR techniques limits their spatial resolution. Here we present a method for measuring the ESR spectrum of nanoscale electronic environments by measuring the relaxation time ($T_1$) of an optically addressed single-spin probe as it is systematically tuned into resonance with the target electronic system. As a proof of concept we extract the spectral distribution for the P1 electronic spin bath in diamond using an ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy centres, and demonstrate excellent agreement with theoretical expectations. As the response of each NV spin in this experiment is dominated by a single P1 spin at a mean distance of 2.7\,nm, the extension of this all-optical technique to the single NV case will enable nanoscale ESR spectroscopy of atomic and molecular spin systems.

For more than 600 years, people flocked to arenas across the Roman empire to watch the highly trained gladiators. Historians have said that women also fought as gladiators. These mighty competitors made a mark in history and have also made a mark in fashion. This year is no exception. We can see this influence through bold metallic dresses, wide grommeted belts, gladiator sandals, heavy metal necklaces and leather stripped skirts and collars. Among the celebrities rocking the look are Taylor Swift, Emma Stone, Rosie Huntington-Whitely and Alicia Vikander, who all nodded to fierce gladiator style at this year's Met Gala. The good news is you can add just one accessory to any outfit to reflect this ancient Roman look.
On the left, the outfit I wore to Free Press Summer Fest: a gold and black swimsuit, skirt with flaps and grommets and gladiator sandals. I also added a brushed gold headband and choker. On the right, I added two gold accented belts and booties to this simple black crop top and skirt for a dinner out.
On the left I added gladiator flats and a gold arm band to this shorts and T-shirt outfit. On the right, I added close-toed gladiator heels to a leather skirt and white blouse. The shoes completely changed up both of these outfits.

I guess you signed up for this list to gain news, new tools and stay up to date in the webdev field. And actually that is why I created this list. To sum up the week for you (and me).
But if there is a question to you, asking about a technology or tool you don't know of, what would you answer? Most of us probably will give a vague answer pretending they know the tool while they don't. Lyza Danger Gardner on A List Apart writes about that problem and how you should answer to such questions.
Did you know Responsive Design doesn't solve your Content problem?. Well, you should.
But always be aware that a Browser is not a Phoney Phone and it's a difference to test on a real device. You know that, right? Let's go to the interesting stuff – the news.
INIT 1.0 has been finally released. It's a extended HTML5Boilerplate automating all your dev-tasks.
Ish 2.0, the breakpoint tester by Brad Frost is out. It's also inegrated into PatternLab.
Foundation 5 has been released. It's even faster for users, faster to code and – faster!
GruntJS 0.4.2 is out, making Grunt a whole lot better if you work with it on a Windows machine.
Google PageSpeed now includes automated "UX Tests". It's a machine but it's still pretty cool and helps you find common problems on sites.
Your dream for a presentation came true: With Vimdeck you write markdown and present your slides in VIM!
For GruntJS there now is a task that generates all you need for Responsive Videos. It takes care of mp4 files, webm, poster images etc.
And while speaking of Grunt tools: This task removes unused CSS from your builds.

The Paciello Group shares how to properly use the HTML5 <section> element so you finally know it not just replaces a div element.
The most important topic right now in webstandards: Where we stand on Responsive Images, a gist by Mr. Wilto. And Chris Coyier sums up why Responsive Images is so hard.
That situation makes Tim Kadlec ask who's responsible for webstandards.
But fortunately there also are good news: Mark Dalgleish explains what Web Components are, how they work and how you can use them.
Zach Leatherman tells you about the underrated :target selector in CSS.
But there are also many things you can do to make Typography responsive. They're nearly all explained in this article on Tympanus.
Now, let's think about the future: With Media-Queries Level 4 we will be able to react to luminosity. This is a cool demo how this could work.
And the Cat and Hat selectors will give you ability to style in the ShadowDOM.
But future isn't there yet, so here's the next bummer: The filament group researched how many devices aren't capable of @font-face support and therefore won't display your icon-font. Very scary numbers show up in this presentation (sneak peek: ~370million).
Not everything is cool in JS. For example, screen.width is useless.
Scroll Position Index is a cool CodePen showing a UX concept for reading long texts or books.
…Zach Holman who talks about the growth of GitHub, the task to remain a start-up with over 200 employees. It's a great slidedeck and I can't wait for the video of the talk.
…Wilson Miner who reminds us how cool the web is by being open source so one can learn from the source code of a website. It's much harder in other fields.
…Mike Tylr who started a project offering screenshot or debugging on his phones through GitHub issues.
…the world's busiest airport Atlanta. See how a day looks like there (btw, scroll performance is not very good but the story is).

With the closing of the California Pacific International Exposition, the Ford Building closed its doors to the general public and remained closed to the public until 1980 when the San Diego Aerospace Museum moved in.
In the intervening years, the building served many purposes. The National Guard’s 251st Coast Artillery Regiment stored its anti-aircraft artillery, trucks and searchlights here, until the unit was drafted in 1940 and shipped to Hawaii. In 1941, the San Diego Vocational School set up an airplane construction school in the Ford Building where men and women learned the trade and became aircraft workers during World War II. The Civil Air Patrol held night school in the Ford Building for several years. Following a dispute between the city and the city Schools over responsibility for building repairs, the aviation school moved out in 1946.
Convair considered using the building in 1947, but backed out when they learned the pavilion could not accommodate the 110 feet wing span of its B-24 Liberator. That same year, San Diego’s city manager authorized the collection of airplanes for an exhibit in Balboa Park. Perhaps this explains the Japanese Kawanashi N1K1 “George” fighter plane found sitting unappreciated in the basement for several years. The aircraft was later given to the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. The National Rifle Association tried to get the Ford basement for firing ranges, but later decided against this plan after calculating the cost of adapting the building.
This report prompted many concerned citizens of San Diego to get involved in a plan to save the building by placing it on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It was at this time that the San Diego City Council declared The Ford Building as the new home for the San Diego Aerospace Museum.

According to a leading website, ‘Winking sensation’ and Malayalam beauty Priya Varrier was offered lead roles by top Telugu producers like Dil Raju but things did not quite work out. She is under an exclusive contract with a production house and hence can’t work on other films. Confirming this, a source said that the producers will continue their efforts to sign her.
“It is true that top Telugu producers and directors want to sign her for a couple of big Telugu films. Dil Raju who is making films with big stars like Sharwanand, Nithiin and Nani, was impressed with the cuteness of the girl and wanted to cast her opposite one of the top heroes. Similarly, UV Creations who are also making big films wanted to sign her. But [they] would continue their efforts to launch her in Telugu industry,” added the source.
Well, it will be worth watching whether they succeed in bringing her to Tollywood.
In case you did not know, Priya became the toast of Mollywood because of her cute expressions in the Manikya Malaraya Poovi track from Oru Adaar Love. In fact, such was the craze surrounding her that she even received romantic proposals from some passionate fans.
The Manikya Malaraya Poovi song has been recreated by ace music director Shaan Rahman and is a soft romantic number. Vineeth Sreenivasan has crooned it like the boss he is and added a tender feel to it. The video revolves around two young lovers and is set in a campus setting. In it, the lovers can be seen stealing shy glances at each other and making us believe in the innocence of love.
Directed by filmmaker Omar Lulu, Oru Adaar Love features newcomers in the lead and will hit screens soon.
I guess she will be good..a natural like Sai Pallavi..
Is this a joke or what? Yo what’s up with this girl? She’s acting as if she’s the best actress in the whole world. This girl has no chance in surviving be it in Bollywood or Tollywood. Just a below average girl who has been over hyped too much.
No.. not required. She is just one attention seeker, nothing special in her.

Creusabro® M / Hadfeild® / CSEC Hi-Mn Brand is a high Manganese, fully austenitic, quench annealed, non magnetic, work-hardening steel with an exceptionally high level of wear resistance when subjected to work-hardening by shock or high impact pressure in service.
The main characteristics is a superior wear resistance: Severe wear on the surface has a work-hardening effect on the austenitic structure of this steel. This, when combined with the level of carbon in accordance with the international standards, leads to an increase in hardness from 200BHN (in as delivered plates) up to an in-service hardness of at least 600BHN.
This work-hardening capability renews itself through out in-service life. The underlayers not work-hardened maintain an excellent resistance to shock and a very high ductility.
· Quarries and Constructions: Earth moving crusher jaw, grizzly, screen, stone chutes, chain guide and shredder plates, shovel buckets.
· Mines: Bucket blade of loader, chain conveyor parts, sprocket wheel, various armouring elements.
· Iron Industry, Foundry: Guiding and shifting plates, scraps container, liner of shot blasting unit, pedestal liner, flanged bolster cup, wear liner.

· Automotive Industries: Shot blasting equipment.
It is also used for its low coefficient of friction in metal-to-metal applications, its non-magnetic properties in electrical transformer assemblies and for industrial lifting magnets.
A high manganese, fully austenitic, quench annealed, non magnetic, work-hardening steel with an exceptionally high level of wear resistance when subjected to work-hardening by shock or high impact pressure in service.
Severe wear on the surface has a work-hardening effect on the austenitic structure of this steel.
This, when combined with the level of carbon in accordance with the international standards, leads to an increase in hardness from 200BHN (in as delivered plate) up to an in-service hardness of at least 600BHN.
This work-hardening capability renews itself through out in-service life.The underlayers not work-hardened maintain an excellent resistance to shock and a very high ductility.
The majority of normal processing can be performed on Creusabro® M plates. However, due to its particular properties (aptitude to work-hardening, high coefficient of expansion, low thermal conductivity) specific precautions have to be taken, especially for the machining and the welding operations.
- an increase of the heating power of the flame.
- a speed reduction of nozzle displacement of about 30% as compared to the parameters adapted to classical low alloyed steels.
The thermal cutting by plasma or laser is particularly adapted to Creusabro M. When possible, we do advise selection of these processes which produce cuts of the greatest precision.
· Mechanical Cutting: Guillotine cutting can be easily achieved with sufficiently powerful machines and freshly sharpened blades. When crossed cutting are necessary, intermediate local grinding is required on edge.
Classical methods are satisfactory as long as inter-pass depth is deeper than the work-hardened zone of the preceeding pass. Therefore sufficiently powerful equipment, without excessive play is required.
Dry drilling leads to good results. The depth of the hole to be drilled, should not exceed 3 times the bit diameter.
Drilling operation must be performed continuously, without any stop.
Other possible solutions: drilling with bits at 3 lips with carbide-tipped or drilling with bits for concrete when small series or hot drilling are considered.
· Milling: Milling with tools in supercarburized Cobalt type HSSCO is possible (e.g. AISI grade M42) but tools with carbide tip (e.g. ISO type P25) are recommended whenever possible.
Punching can be achieved with sufficiently powerful equipment. But the operation should be kept as regular as possible.
Hardened edges resulting from previous mechanical shearing should be grinded before forming. Also a light bevelling of edges should be made. Forming has to be performed slowly.
Creusabro® M should be welded with some precautions related to its specific properties. Because of its high coefficient of expansion and low thermal conductivity, the steel is sensitive to thermal distortions and local excessive heating. Consider also that long stages at temperatures higher than 300°C (570°F) induce carbide precipitations which strongly decrease toughness and non-magnetism property.
Welding is performed with low heat input – E< 20KJ/cm, interpass temperature limited to about 100°C (2 10°F) – with water-cooling between each pass if necessary. Distortions should be hammered between passes if necessary.
All standard welding procedures can be used.
· For semi-automatic welding, with or without protective gas, use to flux cored wire of similar composition.

GTT events primarily consist of five-and-a-half day “modules.” From time to time, we also offer weekend workshops and webinars. A schedule of events can be found here. No prior experience with Holotropic Breathwork is required to attend GTT events (except certification and advanced trainings). For those who wish to become certified HB practitioners, both types of events contribute to your training requirements.
Modules: You may participate when you choose, in a residential setting, in groups of moderate size, for one or two modules at a time. You will be with people from around the world who are excited about Holotropic Breathwork and the holotropic perspective, and you will have the opportunity to delve deeper into both the breathwork and your personal journey than is usually possible in shorter workshops. You will also become a part of the larger community of HB practitioners and experiencers.
Besides the practice and theory of HB, module topics include Shamanism; The Psychedelic Experience; Addiction, Attachment and Spirituality; Jung’s Red Book; Celtic Shamanism; The Power of Trust & Connection; Movie Yoga; Sacred Geometry; Living with Dying; Archetypes & Astrology; and others. A special event is Ecstatic Remembrance, featuring kirtan (chanting) led by Jai Uttal (twice Grammy nominated). Advanced trainings have included Trauma & Transformation; and Fantastic Art – held at the HR Giger Museum in Gruyeres, Switzerland.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND GTT EVENTS?
The program is designed to work for people with various levels of interest. If you have been to an HB workshop and would like to learn more, modules offer a great set and setting for a deeper personal journey. Even if you have no prior experience with HB, GTT modules are a great place to start.
Although some in the program are in the helping professions, it is in no way a requirement for participation, or to become a practitioner. People with all kinds of backgrounds have attended the training, including business people, artists, academics, ministers, nurses, filmmakers, teachers, body workers, writers, builders, doctors, musicians, veterinarians, attorneys, and more.
A training group generally consists of people from many countries, and of varying ages and income levels. There has been limited racial diversity, but we hope this will change. People come from a broad variety of backgrounds, with varied interests, spiritual paths, and reasons for participating.
What participants have in common is a passion for Holotropic Breathwork. Based on this, and on taking the inner journey together, groups usually bond quickly, and deep connections are made.
WHERE DO TRAINING EVENTS TAKE PLACE?
An up-to-date list of all training events offered around the world can be found here. To receive notice of upcoming and future events, you can join our mailing list here.

Many people assume within the winter months that greenhouse rising is off limits, however this is simply not true. This distinctive solid sterling silver, copper and glass greenhouse was hand-assembled by the finest Tiffany artisans. These seasonal greenhouses consist of a transparent plastic overlaying stretched over a body of PVC, aluminum, wood or metal. Greenhouse is a transatlantic literary agency which represents authors writing books for children and younger adults.
Experimentation with the design of greenhouses continued through the 17th century in Europe, as know-how produced higher glass and development methods improved. Staging and Shelving: Should you plan to develop container vegetation or use the greenhouse to start out your seeds, benches, shelves or staging are important.

Costa Mesa Mayor Jim Righeimer and Mayor Pro Tem Steve Mensinger have sued the city's police officers association, alleging the group and two other defendants intimidated and harassed them for political gain.
A civil action lawsuit filed Tuesday names the Costa Mesa Police Officers' Assn.; Upland-based law firm Lackie, Dammeier, McGill & Ethir; and Menifee private investigator Chris Lanzillo, alleging they intentionally inflicted emotional distress and violated civil rights, among 15 other complaints.
Righeimer's wife, Lene, is also included as a plaintiff.
The mayor and mayor pro tem referred all questions to their lawyer, Vince Finaldi, who said the tactics alleged in the suit are common practice for Lackie, Dammeier, McGill & Ethir, a law firm known for representing police.
"They're coercing and intimidating these people so that they change their vote in favor of the police association," said Vince Finaldi, who filed the suit on behalf of Mensinger and the Righeimers.
Much of the lawsuit stems from an Aug. 22, 2012, incident during which Lanzillo, a former Riverside police officer, followed Righeimer as he left Skosh Monahan's, a bar and restaurant on Newport Boulevard owned by Councilman Gary Monahan.
According to a 911 tape acquired by the Daily Pilot, Lanzillo called to report a potential drunk driver.
He then alleged that the driver, whom he did not identify as Righeimer, was driving erratically and reaching a speed of 50 mph down a residential street.
A police officer responded to the call and administered a sobriety test in front of Righeimer's Mesa Verde home while his children watched in fear, the lawsuit alleges.
Righeimer was immediately found not to be impaired and soon after the incident held a press conference where he produced a receipt for two Diet Cokes from Skosh Monahan's.
At the press conference, the mayor accused political enemies of trying to set him up. He asserted that the association employed Lanzillo to tail him – an allegation the association strongly denied at the time.
Representatives from the association could not be reached for comment Tuesday afternoon or evening.
Righeimer and the council majority have been working to reduce public employee compensation, a move that has drawn fierce resistance from public employee associations, collective-bargaining units that share some characteristics with but are not technically unions.
The suit alleges that the police association, Lanzillo and the law firm were all involved in the situation at least indirectly.
"What we're saying is it's a conspiracy, that they were all conspiring together to do this," said Finaldi, of the Irvine-based law firm Manly, Stewart & Finaldi.
Costa Mesa's police association knew that Lackie, Dammeier, McGill & Ethir would resort to strong-arm tactics outlined in the lawsuit because the strategies were included in a "playbook" available on law-firm's website, according to the complaint.
The plaintiffs also allege that the law firm was in electronic communication with Lanzillo during the time he followed Righeimer home, Finaldi said.
The private investigator previously told the Daily Pilot that he was on another assignment when he decided to follow Righeimer but would not reveal who he was working for that night. The law firm has denied sending him to tail Righeimer.
The police association cut ties with Lackie, Dammeier, McGill & Ethir soon after.
The lawsuit, which was filed in Orange County Superior Court, goes beyond that night, stating the three plaintiffs now live in constant "fear for the well-being of [themselves] and [their families]" or being "set up" by the defendants.
The plaintiffs have asked for a jury trial, during which any damages would be decided, Finaldi said.
Lanzillo and the law firm also could not be reached after work hours Tuesday evening.

Brave Jamaican man makes one of the most EXTREME dives you’ll ever see!
A 16-year-old Baltimore boy has been arrested and charged as an adult after stabbing a classmate at school in an incident that was caught on camera and later shared on social media.
Hopkins was booked into the city jail on counts of first- and second-degree assault, bringing a dangerous weapon on school property and additional weapons-related charges stemming from a violent confrontation between teens at Patterson High School on Monday.
As a cellphone video recorded by an eyewitness shows, a group of teens were in a third-floor classroom at around 1pm when a verbal dispute erupted between Hopkins and another boy.
At that moment, the 16-year-old suspect jumps from the counter and plunges a switchblade into the other boy's chest and left hip, causing a pandemonium inside the room.

Recently I was teaching a productivity and organizing workshop to a group of executives and consultants. I listed some of the ways in which our tasks come to us: “… email, voice mail, text messages, snail mail, the ideas that come to us in the shower, and those requests made by colleagues as we pass in the corridor.
One of the participants, a director at a pharmaceutical company, offered, “Drive-bys. Those requests as you pass in the hall? I call those ‘drive-bys’.” Perfect description, I thought.
Email, voice mail, text and snail mail rarely get lost. We know where they are, lurking in their inboxes (though actually dealing with them can be a real challenge for many.) But the drive-bys and the shower thoughts that come our way? They can present an additional problem: how to capture them?
In the coming days I’ll be turning my attention to the products and processes that may help us deal with drive-bys and shower thoughts, the requests and ideas that come without built-in digital or paper format.
What are your favorite ways to catch errant thoughts? Share them here.
I like that term drive by. I am not one to keep notes on paper other than my planner. I have used my planner for over 15 years. If I jot notes on other pieces of paper they either get lost or shuffled under other paper. I write everything in my planner.
When I worked in an office and someone caught me in the hall I would have them follow me to my office so I could write it down. Now with email I think I would put the burden back on them and have them email me the request or wait until I could lay my hands on my planner.
I advocate an organizing system that processes all paper through the in-box. This prevents notes from being lost. From the in-box the information moves to the calendar, task list, or appropriate action file. Since paper is certainly coming into our lives anyway, and we must have a system to deal with it, we can make use of that same system to capture other kinds of information, including drive-bys.
Marilyn, do you ever worry about losing your planner? How do you back up all that data?
My favorite is the Levenger Pocket Briefcase.
The notes taken there (on index cards) go to my in-box for processing when I get home.

The apparatus of the "state" is being slowly turned on the American people to disarm them. The next battleground will not be Europe or Asia or the Middle East. It will be in the American heartland as the "state" attempts to strip Americans of their second amendment right to own firearms for self protection. This is one reason why the department of Homeland Security was set-up.
We should get down on our knees and thank God, Almighty that some of our soldiers will heed the call of our forefathers and not the "state" when the call comes to disarm the American population.
George Washington would turn over in his grave if he were alive today and saw what the "state" is planning to do to America.
Let us never forget our heritage, born out of conflict and sacrifice, by those who paid their all to defend it. Freedom is a precious gift from God granted only to those who are worthy of defending it. It is a privalege not a right. We as Americans must earn that right every day or it will be taken away by the "state". LET FREEDOM RING!
Demonization of Christians by government officials is just the first step in their eventual persecution by the the U.S. federal government. One only has to look at the history of the Jews in Germany prior to the outbreak of World War II.
While the Jews of Europe waited in vain for meaningful changes to American immigration policy, Adolf Hitler began organizing the most horrific crimes against humanity in the known history of the world. By the time war broke out in 1939, Hitler had already stripped Germany's Jews of their civil rights and excluded them from most realms of German society. In 1933, the Nazis purged Jews from the civil service and restricted their participation in the nation's universities and professions. Two years later, Hitler's Nuremberg Laws institutionalized anti-Semitism in German law by making Jews ineligible for citizenship, taking away their right to vote, and making it illegal for them to marry or even have sexual relationships with non-Jewish Germans. By 1937, the Nazi government had imposed an "Aryanization" program that confiscated many Jewish-owned businesses, and established a Jim Crow-style system of legally sanctioned social segregation in which Jews were confined to their ghettoes and banned from even entering so-called "Aryan zones" of many German cities and towns. The German government devised new ways to humiliate and dehumanize Jews in their everyday lives, for example by forcing them to wear yellow Stars of David prominently on their clothing when they went out in public so that everyone would know they were Jewish and thus ought to be shunned or mistreated. Through this steady erosion of Jewish civil rights and constant demonization of the Jewish people in vicious Nazi propaganda, Hitler laid the foundations for the next, infinitely worse, stage of his anti-Semitic master plan; by using the power of the state to define the Jewish community as a despised, alien, and inferior presence in German society, Hitler set the stage for the genocidal violence of the Holocaust.
That genocidal violence began in earnest with the outbreak of war on the Eastern Front in 1939. A large majority of the Jewish population of Europe lived east of Germany, mainly in Poland and the Soviet Union. As German forces surged eastward into Poland (1939-40) and then onward into the Soviet Union (1941-43), they found themselves in control of territories that were home to millions of Jews. It did not take long for the atrocities to begin.
At first, violence against Jewish civilians unfolded without much central organization, with sporadic massacres by German troops. By mid-1941, the Nazis began to take a much more systematic approach by deploying the Einsatzgruppen ("task groups" of special police, perhaps more accurately translated in this context as "mobile killing units") to follow the regular German army as it advanced into Russia in order to organize the mass murder of Jews there. The Einsatzgruppen would typically move into a town or village that had fallen under German control, round up all Jews living there, march them out to a nearby ravine or ditch that could serve as a mass grave, and shoot them all dead. Four separate Einsatzgruppen battalions fanned out across the Eastern Front, carrying out dozens of massacres in 1941 and 1942. In perhaps the most notorious incident, it took two days for the Nazis to murder some 33,000 people—virtually the entire Jewish population of Kiev, Ukraine—in the Babi Yar ravine, where group after group of victims were forced to lie down, naked, in a mass grave atop of the bodies of their already-murdered neighbors before being themselves machine-gunned to death.
By the end of 1941, the rampaging death squads are estimated to have murdered more than a million eastern European Jews. Yet Hitler and his lieutenants felt that the Einsatzgruppen's methods—requiring an individual gunshot to kill each victim—were too inefficient to achieve the total genocide of the Jewish people. In January 1942, the top leadership of the Nazi Party met at a villa outside Berlin, in a peaceful suburb called Wannsee, to coordinate a more systematic approach to the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question," as they euphemistically described their plans for genocide. Those plans called for Jews in occupied areas to be concentrated into ghettos near rail lines, then transported to new concentration camps to be constructed in Poland. The healthiest Jewish prisoners would be permitted to live for as long as they could serve the Nazis as slave laborers; anyone too old or young or sick or frail to do hard labor would be killed immediately. To speed the killing of large numbers of people, the Nazis built special gas chambers disguised as group showers; prisoners would be ordered to strip down for a wash, then they would be ushered into the large shower rooms where they would be killed en masse by cyanide gas or carbon monoxide, enduring terrible suffering in their last moments of life.
A large majority of the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust would die in these death camps—nearly a million at Auschwitz (the largest of the killing centers) alone. The camps were chilling in their efficiency, reducing mass murder to an orderly process of bureaucratic and mechanical ease. These were factories of death, the most terrible manifestations of Hitler's evil. The immeasurable brutality, violence, and dehumanization built into those nightmarish places were difficult to comprehend or describe—even for survivors. Elie Wiesel, who lived through internment at both Auschwitz and Buchenwald and later wrote the moving Holocaust memoir Night, spoke of the difficulty of even communicating what had happened there: "It was not easy. At first, because of the language; language failed us. We would have to invent a new vocabulary, for our own words were inadequate, anemic. And then too, the people around us refused to listen; and even those who listened refused to believe; and even those who believed could not comprehend. Of course they could not. Nobody could. The experience of the camps defies comprehension."
Jesus told us in the book of John to expect persecution for our faith.
"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you." John 15:18,19 KJV.
But we should not fear this because we know what our end will be and we know that we will reign with Him in eternity. "And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death." Revelation 1:17,18 KJV.
"Fear none of those things which thou shall suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days; be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." Revelation 2:20 KJV.
Therefore "So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me." Hebrews 13:6 KJV. Praise be to the Lord, God almighty, Jesus Christ: who was, and is, and is to come!

The NAVS has welcomed figures disclosed today that show Wales has bucked the upward trend in animal experiments across Britain. The nation conducted significantly fewer animal experiments in 2013, a drop of nearly 40% on the previous year, to 52,539. The figures follow the release of the annual Home Office statistics last month showing that animal experiments in Britain have climbed to 4.12 million – the highest on modern record – despite a reduction pledge from the Government.
In Wales last year, guinea pigs suffered in 24 experiments, rabbits in 3, rats in 3,345, fish in 11,927 and mice in 36,010. Birds and amphibians are the two species that were subjected to an increased number of tests, with birds suffering in 643 experiments and amphibians in 165. No cats, dogs, horses, monkeys or pigs were tested on.
96% of animal experiments in Wales took place in universities or medical schools and nearly half of all animals who were experimented on either had a Harmful Genetic Defect, or had been Genetically Modified.
The Government is currently undertaking a review of the secrecy surrounding animal experiments and the NAVS is campaigning for the removal of Section 24, a secrecy clause which prevents review and scrutiny of animal tests.

Try this rhubarb-currant mostarda with your next meat and cheese plate, on panini, or alongside grilled pork chops.
Combine the currants, shallots, sugar, vinegar, salt, mustard seeds, and mustard powder in medium saucepan. Stir, dissolving the sugar, over medium heat until the currants have plumped and the shallot has softened slightly, about 5 minutes.
Add the rhubarb and continue to cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the rhubarb is quite soft but still maintaining its shape and the liquid has reduced, about 10 minutes. Serve now with grilled meat (I’m thinking pork chops, lamb, or even a hot dog) or allow to cool to room temperature and use as a condiment with a cheese or a plate of cured meats. The mustard can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks. Yields 2½ pints.

This little bottle of Campfire Navy Strength Gin gives you the opportunity to discover four regular serves or two large serves, depending how strong you like your gin cocktails.
Why so strong you ask? Navy Strength spirits were introduced to pass the British Royal Navy’s potentially explosive proofing test. Simply put, if gunpowder soaked in gin still burned it indicated that there was sufficient alcohol in the gin. Gin with less than 57% alcohol or 100% proof would prevent the gunpowder from igniting and would be rejected by the Navy as it was not deemed to be strong enough. We distill this fine gin in small batches at Puddingstone Distillery. Our desire to ensure delivery of the best product possible means we carry out every part of the process, from selecting and preparing botanicals, distilling according to our own unique process, resting (the gin and us) to bottling and labelling. Then and only then we release each of these bottled treasures from our Chilterns based distillery so they may begin their own adventure.
For a tonic pairing our recommendation would be Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic but for the more adventurous try this amazing concoction of Campfire Navy, port and apple juice – the Red Admiral cocktail.
Distilled to a London Dry style this gin contains no added sugar.

Growing up in the 50's we were certainly aware of Frank Sinatra. His youngest daughter produced this movie of his biography. My husband and I thought it was excellent. We enjoyed how she incorporated the songs he sang with the period of his life.
"I've been waiting for this miniseries to come out to DVD for the longest time!! (I've almost wore out the copy that I taped when it was on CBS in the early 90's) Truthfully,I almost thought that it would never make it to DVD-but was VERY,VERY pleasantly suprised to see that it is finally coming!! Based on the book written by Tina Sinatra about her father.(Also a very good read!)With a cast of top-notch actors who turn in steller performances,this is definately one of the best miniseries,if not THE best that I have ever seen!!!"
"This is the most detailed and accurate documentary of Frank Sinatra out there. Tina Sinatra, his daughter was a producer of this film so it is as close to the real thing as it gets.Philip Casnoff has the opportunity to be Frank, and does so very well. He is VERY believable. You can tell that he took time to study Frank very hard because he picked up his accent and body movements. This film starts well, at the beginning! It shows the odds that were against him and his great desire to sing. He begins his career in the Hoboken 4, and sings "Shine" which becomes somewhat a hit. The 4 hour long movie goes through his life, depicting his rise to stardom as he sings with Harry James, and Tommy Dorsey. It also takes you through many loves and many movies that he filmed like On the Town, and Pal Joey. The film even portrays the acedemy award ceremony where he wins best oscar for From Here To Eternity. When I watched this movie, I felt like I was really watching Frank's life being lived in front of me. You hear his music all throughout the film. After you watch Sinatra, check out a book and cd set called Frank Sinatra An American Legend. The cd contains most of the music that he sang in the movie as well as commericals and promotions that he did!If you have always wanted to know how Frank lived it, checks this movie out. It is as realistic as it gets."
"At first, I thought Casnoff was a poor choice...after all, who could possibly play Sinatra, a cultural institution? I should've trusted his daughter to choose the right actor. Philip Casnoff was perfect. Each time I see the film, I like him better and better. There was an edge to his portrayal that fits the Sinatra who lives in my head. I thought Gina Gershon was wonderful as the long-suffering Nancy Sinatra, Sr."
"I thought this to be an excllent first rate movie about the fabulous singer's life. Fine performances by all the actors who also had many physical characteristics of those they portrayed. Phillip Casnoff did a fine job as Sinatra with none of the excesses the part might have encouraged in a lesser actor.I've always like Nina Siemaszko (Mia Farrow) since I first saw her on Showtime's Red Shoe Diaries.It's too bad the film didn't receive more attention from critics. Even though made for TV, it is on par with many Hollwood movies."
"I don't know a whole lot about Frank Sinatra, so I don't know how accurate it is. However, I enjoyed this very much. It's a little lengthy (over 4 hours) because it was a made for TV special or movie or something, but it does not drag on. His childhood and early career are told very well. However it speeds up too much at the end, attempting to explain his Kennedy and mafia connections but failing. Its still worth watching if you wanna know about him and what he did."

Since moving to South Florida 4 years ago, I don't get to experience most of what I've just described, but I still do indulge in a great fall scented candle every year. The feeling that I get just from lighting that little candle is almost nostalgic. Spicy mixed with a bit of sweet notes, there's just something so comforting about fall scented candles. Below are a few of my favorite scented candles for the Autumn season.

Traditional therapy settings may be very uncomfortable for some recovering drug users. The subject of addiction treatment is viewed differently by experimential therapy, which takes the treatment into the outdoors, the art studio and various other locations.
Experimential therapy makes use of non-traditional methods in the treatment to assist the addicts in working through their repressed feelings and emotions.
Exploratory treatment is made to aid individuals in recuperation to create a better self-worth through dealing concealed sentiments and previous agonies. A drug user on the mend can learn how to deal with these issues without resorting to drug use with the help of experimential therapy.
Physically requesting exercises like shake climbing and climbing re-enact genuine worry for recuperating addicts to overcome. Exploratory treatment could educate recuperating users on how to manage daily pressures such as urges as well as addiction provocations.
Since withdrawal from many medications causes uncomfortable or even hazardous side effects, it's essential to start any treatment program with a therapeutic detox. Treatment of withdrawal symptoms during detoxification can be handled in both residential and outpatient facilities. Experimential therapy together with other therapies can thereafter be used to treat psychological withdrawal symptoms and other mental health conditions.
Uses therapeutic activities with horses to help the addicts.
Contact us right now, to help you find the best treatment for you or anyone you know that are going through drug issues. Experimential therapies such as climbing, use of art and obstacle courses can now be found in certain drug treatment centres. You will find what you need to defeat your addiction in many rehab centres through the whole nation call us on 0800 246 1509.

Are you aware of ‘WUBI‘ yet? Though it sounds very much like an Android application, it is not. It’s all about Linux. Wubi is an official Microsoft Windows based free software installer for Ubuntu operating system. It installs the Ubuntu on a Microsoft Windows machine just like installing an application and is a safe and convenient way for Microsoft users to try out Linux operating system. The main advantage of using Wubi is that you wouldn’t have to manually partition your machine. The Ubuntu machine will be installed as a separate stand alone operating system and not as a virtual machine. It has to be clearly understood that Wubi is not a Linux distribution. It is just an installer for Ubuntu which you can download freely from the internet. Wubi adds an entry to the Windows boot menu which allows the user to run Linux. Ubuntu is installed within a file in the Windows file system (c:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk), as opposed to being installed within its own partition. With this method, the process of installing a Linux system as a dual-boot setup is just like installing any Windows application, namely running an executable. Thus the Wubi installation will give you a real Linux system, and not an emulation. What many of us face while uninstalling a Linux partition is that the boot loader of Microsoft Windows gets corrupted and we have to repair it before we can use Windows again. However, with Wubi this is simple. Uninstall your Ubuntu OS just like uninstalling any program in Windows by accessing the ‘Add/remove programs’ menu from the control panel of Windows. This will successfully uninstall your Ubuntu machines without affecting the existing Windows OS. The file system is implemented as a single file and hence compromises on performance. The project’s aim is to enable existing Microsoft Windows users, unacquainted with Linux, to try Ubuntu without risking any data loss. A related project, ‘Lubi’, uses Linux as the host system instead of Microsoft Windows.
Mary Tomson is a B.Tech graduate in IT who is also certified in RHCE,RHCSS,RHCVA,CCNA and CCIE(Q). She is passionate to learn,discover and work on Linux Operating System.She has high creative capability and a solid ethic background with a professional commitment and responsibility.She has an excellent attitude to deal with people, a high communicative outlook, enhanced leadership skills and adaptability to changing situations. She is good at working in a team, persistent and aimed to get the best results.

No matter where you live in California, if you have too many traffic tickets you are in danger of having your license suspended. One of the best ways to get the points taken off your record is to sign up for and attend a California traffic school. If you have not attended a traffic course in the past year and a half, you may be eligible to take this route to getting your traffic conviction masked to the courts. Many people are finding out that the B-Line online traffic school is an excellent alternative to sitting in a classroom in a specified location for a set period of time. With traffic school online you can take the course from anywhere, any time.
No matter which type of traffic school you prefer, it must be accepted by the court. B Line Traffic Schools offers an online course for people who just don’t have the time to go to the location-based course offered by the court. Taking this course will prevent points from being entered onto your record because upon successful completion, your traffic violation will be masked and not show up on your record. At the same time, the course is quite affordable and there are no hidden costs.
If you are working or going to school or both, you may simply not have enough hours in the day to get down to the physical traffic school when it is offered. B-line has made online traffic school as simple as using your computer from any location that has an internet connection. This means that you could work on the course between classes, on a break at work, on the train or bus as you go from one location to another or even at home in the middle of the night after you get the baby back to sleep. Once you register for traffic school online, you will receive login information that allows you to log in from practically anywhere. Your work is saved each time you log out so you can resume right where you left off next time you login. This means that whether you can work for five minutes or for an hour, your work is not lost. You can complete the course at your own pace, whether that means in one sitting or over a period of weeks. In addition you have the added convenience of 24 hour customer support online.
The B-Line California traffic school is a complete course that has more than a decade of experience behind its creation. Our traffic school online is divided into eleven chapters that take you through everything you need to know in order to pass the final exam. To make sure you understand the information you are studying there is a five question multiple-choice quiz at the end of each chapter. You can study at your own leisure and can take each quiz as often as necessary until you pass it and move on to the next chapter. Each chapter uses a variety of media to help keep the course interesting and to make the information more memorable. Audio clips, animations, video and graphics are all combined with easy to read text to help you learn what you need to know. In addition, there are numerous defensive driving tips included in this course that are intended to help you become a safer driver who is more aware of what is happening around you as you drive.
Many people struggle with an in-room course that has a written exam that must be taken while in class. Test-taking anxiety can be a very real issue, especially if you are surrounded by others who are as anxious as you are about taking the test. With our online traffic school you can take the final exam when you feel totally prepared. If you don’t pass it the first time, you are able to take it a second time. The exam is open book, which allows you to find the answers to those questions you just aren’t sure of.
Once you have completed the course and passed the final examination, you are eligible to receive your certificate of completion. Your traffic school certificate of completion is processed and electronically transmitted to your court on the same day you finish the course.

Beyond These Dark Lands Are Edges Of Joy: The Poet Explains His Poem Freedom, a Poem of Leaving Darkness.
The Poet Explains His Poem Freedom, a Poem of Leaving Darkness.
Freedom is a poem from my book, Beyond These Dark Lands Are Edges Of Joy, Words of Comfort and Hope. When you read it you start to understand that forgiveness is possible.
The full title of this poem is Freedom, a Poem of Leaving Darkness; it suggests freedom will be found when you leave the place of darkness. Darkness may be anything but this poem applies to the specific enslavement of guilt, and the darkness we carry inside.
This poem is 27 lines long and most lines are five syllables. At first, it looks like free-verse. It is one of the rare poems in this collection that uses the first person singular of "I."The I starts a new section of the poem four times.
Lines 1 through 6 is the "I see you oppressed..." section, where the poem opens up with the observation of the readers struggle with guilt and darkness.
Lines 7-13 are the "I would give freely..." where the poem moves to compassion, but with the suggestion that there is a solution to be received.
Lines 14-17 is the "I, too, needed..." and "I have found..." section of confession and admission. The "I have found..." is repeated in line 18, I prefer to avoid repeats because they generally weaken a message. I made the exception to satisfy the question of what was found.
The last 9 lines are a declaration of having found freedom from darkness and guilt. The last line of the poem is simple but after you think about you see more than what is on the surface.
In these posts, I try not to give away too much since I want to sell the book but here is the ending.
I wrote this poem because I know a lot of people struggle with guilt. Guilt is a darkness in our souls that we can't get rid of no matter what we do. I offer the solution that through Christ the Father offers forgiveness because of Christ's sacrifice on our behalf.
This poem is illustrated with a drawing of a dark deep valley with a rocky path. Beyond the valley, the path enters distant pleasant lands.
This poem offers hope that if you are struggling with guilt that there is forgiveness for you if you receive it from Christ who gives it freely.

The Millennial Wives Club had the opportunity to sit down and talk to Millennial Wife Rose! We wanted to highlight Rose because she has such an amazing story on how she has embraced herself despite facing alopecia.
We talked obstacles faced my millennial women today, how to overcome negative thoughts, her journey of rediscovery, and balancing love and career. It was inspiring hearing Rose take us on her journey.
Rose: The evolution of Rose has been very complex yet beautiful at the same time. It started all the way in Ghana, West Africa where I was born, and has included various pitfalls and successes over the last 28 years. I was raised primarily by my dad and thank him greatly for raising my sibling and I in the church. My Christian faith journey has served as the core foundation of the woman I am today. This aspect of my life has truly kept me grounded throughout the different trials and challenges. The experiences in various seasons of my life have produced a woman who is now very resilient, resourceful, and not afraid to face any uncertainties of the future. My journey is far from over, but I love that through reflection I’ve been able to effectively compound all the lessons into this book I call “My life”. I attended a conference recently, and was given this simple piece of advice-“ Everyone should write a book. Even if you just write it to give to your children.” That statement really stuck with me because I think it’s important for women to keep a record of their life’s journey. In addition to reflecting and recording the many lessons learned. Our stories can serve as a success roadmap to help future generations thrive!
MWC: What would you say is the hardest obstacle as a Millennial Wife/Woman?
Rose: The hardest obstacle for a millennial wife today is that of balance. Personally, I like to divide my life into five broad segments: Faith, family, finances, fitness, and fun. Women today tend to be extremely ambitious and aim for high achievements within those categories. Due to the efforts of generations before us, we have been given the privilege of thriving in spaces that were once not open to women. I believe this has heightened our sense of moral obligation to be the best we can be in all aspects of life. But the reality is we are all human with only 24 hours in a day, so it’s unrealistic to think we’re going to be “perfect” in all areas. Exposure to others’ lives through social media can also create a sense of pressure to have it all together. Thus, balance is what I think is the greatest obstacle we face.
MWC: How has living with alopecia affected your marriage (if any)?
to devote more time to one than the others? If so which one?
Rose: As I mentioned earlier, I like to divide my life into five broad categories which are faith, family, finances, fitness, and fun. The way that I choose to balance my life in these areas is being intentional about planning my days, weeks, and months. Then spending time (usually on Sundays) reflecting on what I actually completed versus what I initially planned. This has helped to create more awareness about how I can spend my time more efficiently in addition to the parts of my life that need improvement. I purchased a wonderful planner earlier this year called the “Passion Planner”. It has each day of the year broken down into 30 minute intervals from 6 AM until 10:30PM. Using the planner consistently has helped to create a more focused life roadmap and keeps me accountable to being more balanced. Overall, I do think there are seasons with which we may be more focused in one area more than the rest. However, my goal is to consistently stay balanced as much as possible because I believe that contributes to a more fulfilling life!
MWC: Give the one piece of advice every woman needs to hear.
Rose: One piece of advice I would give to every woman is learn to grant yourself Grace! Due to so much exposure in today's society, it is easy to look around and think that you are not doing enough or not where you are “supposed to be”. This can create a sense of anxiety and lack of contentment for your individual life journey. Grant yourself Grace to know that you are exactly where you need to be in life, and as long as you live to see another day there will be another opportunity to get better at whatever you choose! Grant yourself GRACE Sis!
MWC: You shared a video recently about your journey of rediscovery and dealing with alopecia.
Take us through the steps of how you regained your confidence and self-esteem.
Rose: I would say that the process to building confidence and self-esteem after losing my hair is still ongoing. Due to the mystery around the causes of alopecia and the lack of a cure, it has been a lengthy journey of healing and acceptance. So far, what has helped most within my process is first my faith in God. Through fellowship with other Christian women, I have been able to see myself in the identity that God created me. So although my physical appearance may not match that of societies standards, growing in faith has helped with growing my confidence as a bald woman. Secondly, choosing to seek the professional help of a therapist has also been instrumental in shaping my perspective around acceptance of my condition. I believe it is necessary for any woman (especially before or while married) to invest in counseling/therapy services. We all carry some level of personal “ baggage”, so I think it’s helpful to have unbiased professional assistance to help navigate through various circumstances.
Rose: I would like to be most known as a woman who did her best to exemplify true Christ-like Agape love to everyone. This world can be very negative and cold, so I hope to be someone who was known for being positive and willing to help wherever possible.
MWC: When negative thoughts overshadow positive self-talk, how do you uplift yourself?
Rose: I have a simple three-step approach that I use to overshadow negative thoughts when they arise. One, is to acknowledge the thought as being negative in the first place. Two, reflect on the actual root cause of that thought. Oftentimes it’s simple scenarios that trigger our negative thoughts. However, those thoughts typically stem from much more deeply rooted issues. So I think it’s always important to take time to reflect on the root, which also creates a better sense of self-awareness. The third step is replacing the thought with something positive. I choose to look at the situation from a brighter perspective which helps a lot. Then lastly, move on with life…..Don’t dwell!
MWC: What do you love most about being a Millennial Wife?
Rose: What I love most about being a millennial wife is all the FLEXIBILITY to create a unique lifestyle for my husband and I. The great thing about this generation is social media and the internet has allowed us to share so many different thoughts, ideas, and strategies. I can virtually find information about ANYTHING I need help with…… From finding new recipes to how to fix an appliance in my home. As an engineer by degree, I LOVE anything that will make managing my household more efficient! Social media has greatly helped in creating connections to make our lives as wives better each day!
MWC: What is next for The RELEASE project? Tell us more about it.
Rose: My platform is currently still in its true infancy stage. Thus, my goal in the coming months is to simply share more of my experiences to provide awareness about alopecia and its effects. Millions of people suffer from shame about being bald, so I hope to be a global ambassador for body positivity in relation to baldness. Most importantly, I want to help children and teens that are dealing with alopecia or other medical hair loss conditions to feel more acceptance about their unique physical characteristics.
Thank you so much Tia for this opportunity to share my story, and thanks you once again for creating this beautiful platform that has connected so many women around the country! It is so refreshing to have a place that we all can come together to learn from each other, and most importantly grow together!

Last weekend I went to Svensk Scrapbookings crop in Karlstad. I had a great time and made projects for 7 of the challenges, that has got to be a new record for me! Well, actually I think I made projects for 8 challenges but one I’m not going to put in my blog. It was a crazy 10 minutes challenge, one instruction every minute, yikes! But it was fun and we all had a laugh.
Anyways, I did actually win one of the challenges with things I found in the DT-kit Hobbyworld had sent for us to use while there. I got lots of stamps and papers from Papermaze, super cute!
I got my hands on the amazing All is Bright series from MME. The challange was to make a kit with matching projects, one christmas card, onte tag and a christmas ornament. We had another challenge to alter a candle and I made one that matched the other projects.
The papers from the All is Bright series from My Minds Eye are really my kind of Christmas papers, they come in lovely blues, turqoise, red and creme colors. They are so lovely that you really can’t fail when using them.
I went to visit CiLi in Papers to chat and Cicci showed me these super cute tiny bird houses in one of the other shops and I fell in love. I had to get some and that’s what I used for a christmas ornament. The little bird from Prima was just perfect to add to it! Love how it turned out!
This is the christmas card. It’s easy to match when using paper from the same series. I also made it match using the same border punch, twine and another cute bird.
To make the tag I used a Spellbinders die, it is fun to just use parts of the dies to make nice edges. I also love those fat eyelets, they are just perfect for tags!
The candle I made as a quick bonus project. It doesn’t take many minutes to punch out a nice border, tie some string around it and adhere some stickers. You can make them as a last-minute hostess present maby? I wouldn’t recommend burning the candle unattended though, paper and fire isn’t a great combination when left alone.
I really had a great time in Karlstad and met all the wonderful scrappers I usually only see online. Isn’t scrappers the most friendly people? There will be a lot mor projects from Karlstad in the blog. There will be no other pictures unfortionetly since I never remember to take any.
