After nearly a ten year hiatus, Darrel Fitten returns with his new Bola album, titled D.E.G., and it’s a record that was definitely worth waiting for! The ten pieces on the album are at once appreciable to the fans of IDM, glitch, and electronica, so earnestly propelled onto the music scene via the one and only Manchester-based Skam records, via the likes of Boards of Canada, Team Doyobi, Mr. 76ix, Freeform, and, of course, Gescom, during the late 90s, and early 2000s. And the elusive Bola has been there all along, with his 1998 debut, titled Soup [second release for the label], followed by Fyitu (2001), Gnayse (2004) and Kroungrine (2007), so it’s a pleasure to see him return to his roots, this time with a more luscious, intricately programmed, and a much mature album.
[Bola is] armed with an entirely new palette of electronics and enlisting a long-time collaborator, Dennis Bourne into the dynamic fold. The end result is an album ripe with an incredibly vivid vision of the future, a set of tracks that no matter how much of a gear-head you are, makes sure you ain’t gonna be able to figure out what machines have sculpted these sounds.
Without completely dissecting each and individual track, I’ll go right ahead and proclaim here, that this is how electronica should sound: not too full-on with its glitch, not too modular and noisy, not to synth-full (sinful?) in its arsenal of waves, but rather a perfect blend of melodies, rhythm, and ambiance. It’s what originally gave root to all these current branches in the first place, right? And Fitten reminds us, once again, not only of the genre’s proper execution but also that there are still ways to perfect the once regurgitated formula, and that he’s right there, leading forth the pack. I’ll let you probe and sift through each piece on your own, and you will come back acknowledging this sublime unique encounter. Highly recommended for fans of Plaid, Arovane, Ochre, Kettel, The Flashbulb, and Luke Vibert.

Entranced by the ingenuity emanating out of what was then the hub of creative collectives, Linda Garth decided to take to the road much in the way many of those of the era did.
Linda, who remained in the Haight through 1969, revisited those cherished days via the newest exhibit at San Francisco’s de Young Museum, the Summer of Love Experience: Art, Fashion, and Rock & Roll.
The exhibit offers cultural touchstones by way of iconic rock posters, photographs, interactive music and light shows, costumes and textiles, ephemera, and avant-garde films. And no such exhibit is complete without the American dress staple of the time – Levi’s®.
As much a basic as it was a starting point for an outfit, Levi’s® were being worn and used in myriad ways by the counterculture – just one more opportunity to express one’s individuality.
As the exhibit explains, by the late 1960s, the all-American blue jean had become the ubiquitous look for the counterculture, and Levi’s® were at the forefront.
Courtesy of the de Young Museum.
In addition to several Love, Melody designs, other Levi’s® pieces featured throughout the exhibit include various altered 501® jeans, and submissions from the 1973 Levi’s® Denim Art Contest. That includes a particularly colorful pair of hand-painted white denim jeans from Dug Miles, replete with applied coix seeds, glass beads, leather and patches.
Linda’s favorite piece of the show? Her personal Levi’s® pantsuit (designed by Love, Melody) enhanced with leather and suede fringe and Swarovski jewels.

The 50th anniversary of the “Summer of Love” is but one milestone anniversary Levi’s is affiliated with this year. It also coincides with the 50th anniversary of our 70505 Trucker jacket and 505™ jean. The brand has also partnered with Rolling Stone for a collection commemorating the 50th anniversary of its inception. And Levi’s® Vintage Clothing has also launched its own “Summer of Love” collection.

Mossom and Sydney (Builders) Limited can be found in Glasson Industrial Estate. Double glazing is one of the most effective and environment friendly ways to scale back your heating bills. In line with some figures (for instance from the Vitality Saving Belief), double glazing can cut back your annual heating bills by up to ??135.
With this in thoughts, it’s positively worth eager about having double glazing put in, but it can be expensive. So how can you find help to pay for it? Mossom and Sydney (Builders) Limited can help you.
Nicely, the first thing you are able to do if you do not have sufficient money saved is to ask double glazing corporations if they do instalment payment plans. In the event you do that although, ensure you check all the small print. Some in-firm finance plans cost high interest rates, so it may be higher to take out a loan from a bank. Most banks think about residence enchancment loans and their rates may be lower.
An alternative choice to a loan is a buy now ? pay later scheme. These will usually be curiosity-free if you happen to pay the steadiness before the due date. After the due date, curiosity is normally charged and there could also be penalties for early repayment after that date.
In case you don’t need to, or can’t, take out a mortgage or buy now ? pay later association, then you could qualify for a double glazing grant.
The very first thing to mention is that not everybody shall be entitled to a double glazing grant, and that your eligibility will rely on plenty of factors.
Having mentioned that, in England, Scotland and Wales it is certainly worth contacting your Local Authority and applying for a grant as you could discover you may get monetary assist towards the price of new double glazing.
The amount you obtain may depend in your age, any disabilities you could have, whether you have got any financial savings, whether you are receiving any advantages, and the Native Authority you live in. The property itself may additionally influence the sum of money you receive.
When you dwell in a listed constructing then you may be entitled to some help in the direction of the price of secondary double glazing or different solutions.
There are sometimes ready lists for residence enchancment grants from the council, so it pays to apply after which to be persistent when you do not hear anything. It’s sadly true that those that persist usually obtain a response earlier than those that ship the application and then ignore it.
When you can afford to have it finished, double glazing will improve the energy effectivity of your own home, make it warmer, cut back outdoors noise, cut back condensation and increase the worth of your house and make it extra saleable. So look into double glazing grants from your native authority and do not waste any more time!

Comfort for the human body needs to be comprehensive. This complicates the technologies that are available to reach the ultimate goal of providing physiological, environmental and psychological comfort. A definition of technology that matches consumer expectations of clothing is a “feeling of relief.” In light of this definition, the fiber and textile industry will need to plan carefully when developing next-generation comfort clothing structures.
Fibrous structures are necessary to provide protection from environmental conditions—natural and/or from the human footprint—while also focusing on physiological suitability, sensory perception and performance requirements. In order to achieve this, a “systems-of-systems” approach is required.
Among different aspects of comfort factors, thermal, sensory (feel) and bulk (weight) are closely related. These factors are mutually interconnected and need to be balanced. This approach was adopted years ago by the U.S. Department of Defense, resulting in the Integrated Protective Fabric System, with the goal of reducing the load for military personnel while providing maximum protection.
This was achieved using a “systems-of-systems” approach, treating each required protection characteristic as a separate system and treating the fabric structure as a single comprehensive system. In the case of chemical and biological protective fabric, this uses technologies that can combat chemical and biological threats individually, while the integrated suit has the capability to counter both chemical and biological threats. Such an approach is needed to develop comfort clothing. While this may sound complicated, a multidisciplinary approach can lead to developing integrated comfort systems. Fiber science, manufacturing systems engineering, electrical, and electronics engineering all have a role to play in its development.
Three main ingredients need to be considered in the development of thermal or any other comfort-providing suits: fibers, fabric structure and external gadgets. With the advent of wearable technologies, microchips and sensors can be effectively integrated to develop lightweight, active comfort clothing.
In terms of fibers for enhanced comfort, developments have been incremental. Chemistry advances have enabled phase change materials that respond and adapt to external ambience and environmental conditions to provide balanced comfort.
Major developments have occurred in finishing treatments that can alter the surface characteristics to develop improved clothing. A well-established technology is imparting variable surface properties on each side of the fabric, making one side hydrophilic and the other side hydrophobic. This approach is useful for thermal comfort suits, as the microclimate between the fabric and the skin is an important factor that alters the thermal balance, and hence the protection.
Atmospheric plasma finishing technology is commercially viable, and such burgeoning processes can be tested out in the development of sustainable manufacturing methods for next-generation comfort fibrous structures.
Apart from fibers, fabric structures play an important role. Thermal comfort depends on the transfer of moisture vapor and the trapping of air and gas molecules, which necessitates bulky but lightweight structures. Typically, nonwoven high-loft structures are used as lining materials. Improved fibers, such as hollow fibers, sheath- and core-structured fibers, can be tried in nonwoven structures, which again will be incremental in development.

Systems-of-systems approaches are being used today in the advanced textiles industry in developing next-generation suits. For example, Chantilly, Va.-based First Line Technology LLC has been developing heat stress-reducing clothing for military personnel and firefighters. Its PhaseCore technology involves a cooling vest and follow-up immerse cooling equipment to provide enhanced heat stress-reduction capability. This systems approach utilizes phase-change material in the cooling vest, which reduces the weight for the user. Unlike ice packs that may lead to vasoconstriction, the phase-change chemistry does not overcool the wearer.
“It is essential that we focus on preventing heat stress rather than treating heat stress after it occurs,” says Amit Kapoor, the company’s president and CEO. “Going into 2019, and with the heat just a couple of months away, we must revisit how we manage and prevent heat stress—from the football field to the battlefield. Cooling systems, such as the PhaseCore Cooling Vests and the Immersion Cooling Equipment, are available that allow professionals to not just put in policies and procedures to prevent heat stress, but to also equip themselves with the tools to put those policies and procedures in effect,” says Kapoor. A key point, he adds, is that the advanced textile sector is heavily dependent on investments in research and must keep on inventing to improve the product.
Wearables are slowly entering the advanced textiles sector. Electrically activated fabric structures are on the horizon that could influence comfort technologies. These advancements are occurring rapidly in the biomedical sector, such as for wound healing.
A November 2018 article published in the American Chemical Society’s ACS Nano discussed the findings of scientists from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and researchers from Chinese institutes in Chengdu and Wuhan who are developing efficient wound-healing patches.
They have harnessed an electric field created in situ, due to the mechanical motion of the patch on the skin. This has helped with rapid wound closures by creating a balanced thermal ambience between the patch and the skin. This development showcases the need for multidisciplinary approaches in developing new thermal balance systems.
Going forward, the industrial fabric sector needs to follow the systems-of-systems approach in designing next-generation comfort clothing and should embrace multiple fields, including science, technology and engineering.

Become pain free in 2019!
Treatment of sports injuries benefits individuals at all levels of sport and physical activity. It aims to optimise your body’s recovery time to allow you to participate in sport. Every sport has different demands on the body and when treating sports injuries it is important to condition the body to cope with these demands. This means that every treatment must be adapted to the individual and what they wish to achieve. Treatment of sports injuries helps to increase your range of motion and flexibility as well as increasing strength in the injured area.
Reflexology is a relaxing treatment based on the principal that reflex points on the feet are connected to corresponding areas throughout the body. In this way the feet can be seen as a map of the body. Gentle specialised massage techniques are done with thumbs and fingers to the reflex areas, which help correct imbalances throughout the body and release blocked energy.
Improves the texture of the baby’s skin.
Aids relaxation of the child.
Reduces tension, restlessness and irritability.
Assists the parent in bonding with the child.
Aromatherapy works with the pure properties of plants, using their essential oils in a natural, complementary therapy which can help improve both physical and emotional well-being. Massage is one of the ways to apply the essential oils into the skin, bringing about a physical effect through chemical changes in your body’s system and a psychological effect through inhaling the fragrances.
This is a great treatment for nose, ear and throat problems, it can also be an alternative to ear syringing. The candles are made from linen paper and soaked in essential oils and are placed in the ear one at a time. The warmth helps soften the ear wax and any impurities in the ear whilst the candle creates a light suction action, which also generates a massage like effect on the eardrum.
I agree to Leamington Therapy Centre collecting and using the data in this form.
I’m Lisa Moore and I’ve had my own Holistic and Sports Therapy business now in Leamington Spa since August 2002. I’ve operated out of The Dell Practice, The Traditional Acupuncture Centre and more recently from my own clinic The Leamington Therapy Centre based at No 7, Clarendon Place, just by the fire station.
I started out with Aromatherapy and Reflexology and since then I have expanded the treatments that I offer and now specialise in Sports and Remedial Massage.

I am also a Baby Massage Instructor so I can teach you how to massage your baby in a group or on a one to one basis. Please see the News section for up and coming courses.
I’ve also worked at many conferences providing stress busting massage (which I offer as a lunchtime special) and at sporting events. For 3 years I had the contract to provide sport and general massage for WWE wrestling whenever they were at the Birmingham NIA and NEC and Wembley Arena.
Every year I refresh my knowledge and add to my existing qualifications. I have expanded my skills to include Aromatherapy and Reflexology during pregnancy, Aromatherapy in alcohol & drug dependencies, Aromatherapy in cancer & palliative care and Sports Injuries & Ultrasound Therapy.
I’m James Egginton I graduated with a BSc Degree in Sports Science in 2012 then went on to study with the London School of Sports and Remedial Massage in 2013 where I qualified as a Soft Tissue Therapist.
I’m also a qualified RockDoc with Rock Tape (kinesiology taping) and RockBlades (Instrument Assisted Sports Massage Tool).

I am a member of The Institute of Sport and Remedial Massage Therapists and I develop my skills and add to my qualifications annually giving my clients a more effective treatment to their individual needs.
Lisa is an amazing massage therapist. I went to her suffering from migraines and headaches.
slightly my massage with Lisa brought me back to life!
I now make sure to book monthly appts with her to keep the headaches at bay!
I first had RockBlades used on me when I had pain in my ankle. I didn’t know how I had developed this problem but I woke one day and I was unable to walk and put weight on my ankle. I had broken it about 15 years previously and that’s how it felt again… ‘Broken!’ I didn’t know what to make of it at first but when I got off the couch I couldn’t believe how much movement I had in my ankle and I could walk on it with my weight without any issues. I was completely surprised of the impact this small instrument made to my ankle. I’d highly recommend a treatment with the RockBlades.
Although the RockBlades looks and sounds rather alarming it was a revelation! Lisa used it on my legs and ankles and once I got used to the pressure (firm!) it was an extraordinary sensation. It gives Lisa the capacity to do long deep sweeps and work on soft tissue and connective tissue. I came out feeling like my legs had softened and they honestly felt lighter. The chronic pains and stiffness I was getting have been greatly reduced with each treatment. After three I am now barely noticing my previously sore and stiff Achilles’ tendons!
I went to the therapy centre was seen by Gemma, I found her to be one of the best sports therapist I have had treatment by. I would definitely recommend her.
Waking up almost pain free after injury treatment and ultrasound last night – miracle worker!
I have been using Lisa for a sports massage for over 5 years. (I play a lot of sports). Without a doubt I would recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a first class service.
I have seen other therapists in the past and have to say that Lisa is in a different league. I think that she is probably one of the best in Warwickshire if not the best.
I first met Lisa a few years ago when I was just 2 weeks into my marathon training program, I was out running and developed a calf injury. Within just one treatment I was running again pain free and decided to continue with maintenance treatments throughout my training program, I also recommended Lisa to my wife for her maintenance treatments & since then have done so to most of the guys I play football and cycle with.
I’ve had several back massages with Lisa.

Marketing leadership did an outstanding job hitting the ground running and hiring great people to move things forward.
Start getting real about what’s in front of you. Question assumptions and biases. Trust but verify. If certain groups are deflecting onto other groups, chances are the ones deflecting are the ones who need scrutiny. Get rid of the bullies and toxic leadership.

I’m not big on cricket metaphors. But when it comes to explaining one of the most important concepts in selling and pitching, I couldn’t help myself. Trust me on this, cricket pitches and idea pitches are remarkably similar.
In cricket, there are several different styles of bowling. Fast bowling, spin bowling, seam bowling to swing bowling. Each bowling style has several different types of deliveries. Yorkers, bouncers, in-swingers, wrong-uns, googlies and a collection of other fanciful names.
Despite what anybody will tell you, there is no perfect delivery or silver bullet that would, under all circumstances, take a wicket. Sure there are better deliveries than others and there are some deliveries with notably higher chances of success. But, there are no guarantees. That is because, out of all the variables the bowler needs to consider in his delivery, the most difficult one to predict is the batsman.
Under most circumstances, a short ball or bouncer is despatched by the majority of batsmen to the boundary without even breaking a sweat. However, under the right circumstances, short deliveries can shake up a batsman, making them nervous. While this may or may not result in a wicket immediately, it can result in a wicket a few deliveries later, now that the batsman is unsettled.
On the other hand, a good yorker is regarded by many experts as one of the most difficult deliveries to face as a batsman. Except under one circumstance – when the batsman knows it’s coming and is prepared for it.
The pitch or delivery is not about the bowler, it’s about the batsman. One of the most celebrated pitching exercises, and one which was made famous by Wolf of Wall Street, Jordan Belfort, is the famous “Sell me this pen” exercise. The exercise is simple; the prospective buyer tells the seller to simply sell him or her a pen. Easy right?
Well, most people end up failing the exercise because they focus on the pen and its intrinsic features like, what makes it a good pen and what pens good for. The crux of the exercise lies in getting information from the prospective buyer. The seller can then use this information, relevant to their usage of pens or not, to then develop a pitch that suits the needs of the buyer.
Too often I have seen sales people develop a pitch without any consideration for who is going to be receiving the pitch. Sometimes, the client representative shares the interests and motivations of the pitcher, and the pitch is successful. But, when invited to a second round pitch with individuals focussing on other areas, they fail because they never adjusted their sales pitch to the new audience.
Whether you regularly pitch ideas to new potential clients or only pitch a few times a year, I highly recommend doing a bit of detective work to find out about who is going to be in the room hearing your pitch. The information isn’t even that difficult to come by, nothing that a bit of networking and some LinkedIn or Facebook research won’t uncover.
It’s important to do so, not least of all to provide context on the individual - to assist in humanising a potentially nerve wracking encounter for yourself, but also to perhaps gain insights into their motivations.
When you know who you are pitching to, what they are expecting and what their motivations may be, you are much better equipped to tailor your pitch to them and bowl the perfect delivery.

April 19, 2017 August 15, 2018 Comments Off on To Fix or Replace a Glass Windshield?
Windshields are specifically made to provide additional support to vehicles and also to take on the stress of highway travel, however, damage does unavoidably happen. Windshields are made up of two glass layers that sandwich an inner layer of safety glass. The inner layer is known as lamination, holds the broken outer layer in cases of accidents. That’s why windshields crack after it’s hit by an object instead of breaking apart in many situations.
Repairing or replacing windshields in Victoria BC will be subject to the severity, location, and size of the damage. Most windshield repair shops are capable of repairing minor cracks and rock chips up to 3 inches. Anything that’s bigger will most likely require replacement.

Today we’re checking out a budget friendly media player, the X02 from Ruizu.
Ruizu was founded in 2010 and makes a wide range of products, everything from Bluetooth speakers to car air purifiers to MP3 players like the one we’re checking out today. The 20 USD/25 CAD the X02 goes for is a great price for a basic player, but the X02 isn’t overly basic. When you take a look at the extensive list of features and file support, it’s a great value, even if it isn’t perfect.
While she is no longer with Ruizu, I want to thank Ashley for reaching out to see if I would be interested in checking out their products, and for providing a discount code to purchase the X02 through Amazon.ca. It was delived to my door for a whopping $0.38 CAD. The thoughts within this review are my own and do not represent Ruizu or any other entity.
When it comes to portable amps and DAPS I take a pretty casual approach. If you’re looking for an in-depth look at this thing with measurement graphs going over THD, sine waves, etc. you’ll want to look elsewhere. None of that matters to me, nor do the components inside that make the device tick. All I really care about is ease of use, how well it can drive my headphones and earphones, and if they still sound good to me plugged into it. Great battery life is a bonus. This review will be mainly my subjective experiences with the Ruizu and how it has served me over the last month or so.
Looking at older coverage of the X02, it seems that along with some internal upgrades, the packaging received a buff too. The black and white design is attractive and the ridged texturing along the sizes and top looks and feels nice in the hand. I suspect this packaging is used for a number of their products because the model isn’t printed anywhere. A sticker on the back has that covered. Some statements on the back of the package like “BATTERY long time playing” and “MENU easy and comfortable interface” also lend to the idea that this package is used for other Ruizu devices since they are so vague.
The included earbuds certainly aren’t amazing, but they definitely exceeded my expectations. Material quality is mediocre of course. The cable feels quite fragile and the white plastics are low rent with their yellowish tinge. But, comfort is great and fit and finish is as good as it gets for a cheap freebie earphone. When it comes to sound, it’s a typical old-school earbud signature; lots of mids, very little bass, and neutral-ish treble with some roll off. I found clarity excellent, especially in the mid-range. They’re pleasantly inoffensive and capable enough to provide a decent experience. Heck, they even have a spacious presentation with good layering and separation. At high volumes they do distort, but that is par for the course with toss in buds. If you’re even remotely serious about your sound quality you’ll want to replace them immediately, but for the average user that just wants to listen to their music, they’ll do the trick.
The X02’s design takes great inspiration from Apple’s iconic but long discontinued iPod Mini. Like that device, it has a small screen set above a circular input pad within which is a central selection button. The X02 is all-plastic with a soft matte finish. While I like the look and feel of the finish, past experience with it on other devices has shown significant deterioration as the years progress. Hopefully that will not be the case with the X02, but the way people consume new products nowadays the device would probably be replaced long before it ever became an issue. It’s also not the most solid feeling device. Despite being small and compact, there is a fair bit of flex and twist to the chassis. Not something you’re likely to notice though, unless you deliberately start wrenching on it.
The circular pad covers four buttons in the cardinal positions. They perform a multitude of functions from menu navigation to track control. The center button is used to select menu options and pause/play music. I found the buttons satisfying to press as they respond with a prominent click that you can feel and hear. Unlike on some devices which are spongy or quiet, you know when you made a selection on the X02. On the bottom of the device is the micro-USB input port, headphone jack, and on/off slider switch that moves into position with purpose. To the right is a micro-SD card slot with support for 128GB cards, adding onto the already decent 8GB built in.
The X02 is a satisfying device to interact with. The velvety matte surface feels good in the hand and the buttons depress with a quality tactile response. In addition, they are laid out in a tried and tested manner that many will already be familiar with had they used an Apple device prior to their move to touch screen only devices.
Admittedly I didn’t do any testing of the 80 hours of battery life the X02 is rated for. Sorry ’bout that. What I can say is that since the device arrived on September 1st, 2018, it has been used for a couple hours every day. I’ve only had to charge it once since the out of the box charge depleted a couple weeks ago, and at the time of writing it’s still going strong on the next charge. Regardless of whether or not it will achieve the rated 80 hours, it’s got more than enough juice to keep even power users going for long periods without the need to juice up. Another thing that helps to conserve battery is if not playing music or in use, the X02 will turn off after a few minutes of inactivity. Handy!
Perusing through the X02’s menus is for the most part, a pleasant experience. I can think of a few players offhand, namely the HiFiMan MegaMini and XDuoo Nano D3, that do it with less grace and intuition.
On the home screen you’ve got nine menu options. Record, Folder, Ebook comprise the top row. Across the middle you’ve got Pictures, Music, and Video. On the bottom row you’ll find Tools, Settings, and your FM Radio. In the tippy top left corner is the time, while opposite is a battery life icon. Unlike on the XDuoo Nano D3 which has a similar Windows phone style grid layout, you can traverse the X02’s menu options any way you want; up, down, left and right. Delay when moving around is very minimal too. Good thing because laggy interfaces drive me nuts.
Once you start diving into the individual menus, you realize the X02 has a lot more functionality than it’s price and size would suggest. For example, under the Radio feature I was expecting just to be taken directly to the radio, but instead selecting that feature gave me a number of options; Station list, manual tune, auto tune, and FM recording. Under station list is all of your preset options. Manual tune lets you hunt through stations manually. Auto tune seems to update your presents with all available radio stations in the area. Insanely handy if you’re traveling to a new location. FM recording allows you to listen to past recordings saved to either the internal memory, or a memory card you have installed.
Under Tools you are given a calender, stopwatch, and an alarm. They didn’t need to include these, but they did. The calendar feature is very basic in that all you can do is select the date. The stopwatch feature give you five splits to work with which is nice. The alarm lets you set up a one-time, daily, or work day alert using the in-built songs or a custom track of your choice, and at the volume you set. The alarm feature is nice to have, but it doesn’t make the X02 a suitable replacement for a regular alarm. The X02 doesn’t have a built in speaker. That means you’re either going to need to hook up to one, or only use the alarm during circumstances where you’re using the device and have your headphones in, like during break at work, or while at the gym to let you know when you should move onto the next exercise. The alarm also doesn’t turn the device on, so if the X02 is off when the alarm should be sounding, you’re out of luck.
The X02 also has a basic video player, but I don’t think anyone is going to be using it all too often, especially given the dominance of smart phones. The X02’s screen is small and low resolution and watching the pre-installed music video reveals a very blurry image quality. The optimal viewing angle is also somewhat bizarre being optimal at around a 160-170 degree angle. The included video defaults to a horizontal format, and to watch it you turn the X02 sideways and tilt the screen away from you. If you don’t, the screen is either too dark or becomes extremely washed out. Not so much of an issue during normal use, but if you actually want to make use of the video player, this is certainly something to keep in mind.
In the music app you’ve got tons of options too, all laid out ion a fairly logical manner. The first page has nine options; Now playing, all songs, update card data, artists, albums, genres, playlists, local folder, and card folder. Once you’ve selected a song, hit up or M on the control pad and you’ve got nine new options; home, shuffle, language learning, sound settings, a-b repeat mode, bookmarks, delete, add to playlist, and remove from playlist. While I’m not one for playlists, many of you out there are so being able to construct and deconstruct playlists on the fly will be a blessing.
I’m not going to go through every menu, but there are some handy features under sound settings. First is the equalizer. You’ve got OFF, six of the usual preset options, and a basic 5-band custom setting. Unfortunately, the particular frequencies affected are not mentioned, instead letting you adjust B/L/M/H/T. Still, it works as you’d expect. Bass frequencies to the left, moving through the mids to treble on the far right. Another cool setting is speed. I can see that being useful if listening to an audio book. Last is volume limit. Helpful feature, especially if you’re going to give this to a child, but it has one very annoying quirk. That brings us to my favorite section.
No device is perfect. There are some of the more prominent quirks I’ve experienced in my time with the X02.
When setting the volume limit in the sound settings, you are required to press left and right to raise and lower volume despite the volume bar being displayed vertically. Odd decision. Make sure you don’t have music playing when adjusting this setting. It starts off with the volume maxed out, and if you’ve got your headphones in and music on, whatever is playing is bumped to max volume. Ouch in numerous ways. This thing gets pretty loud which could damage your ears or your headphones if they’re particularly sensitive.
Volume does not have a dedicated control. While on the now playing screen, you need to hold down on the control pad for a moment to access the volume controls. On one hand this is simply annoying. On the other, this is a great way to prevent unwanted volume adjustments.
When listening to the radio, if you hold down the centre button for X02 will start a 3 second countdown. Keep holding through the countdown and it turns off. Not sure why this exists since they have a dedicated on/off switch on the bottom of the device.
Ever since I accessed the radio, that has been the default app the device opens to on startup regardless of what was used last.
The X02 is a decent sounding player, as long as you keep the cost under consideration. I was quite impressed with the sound stage and instrument separation. It does a good job off keeping tracks open and uncongested. It also helps that clarity and detail are also good, though micro-detail seems to be masked slightly. The mid-range isn’t dialed back and seems quite prominent, helping out v-shaped earphones a bit. Bass is severely rolled off in my experience so products that have excellent sub-bass extension, like the ADVANCED GT3 Superbass, lose a lot of that extension. This is not a good player for bassheads. It’s also not going to be a great option for those that like to listen at really high volumes either as you get noticeable distortion. The X02 sounds best when kept away from the extreme highs of it’s volume output.
Overall there isn’t much to say here. It has a reasonably uncolored signature and sounds okay. Definitely not up to the standards of a picky audiophile, but good enough for it’s target audience and affordable price.
While most audiophiles would never in a million years touch this feature, this was one of the features that had me most interested. This is an affordable device for the average user, and at least where I live, FM radio is still going strong. As is common, the X02 uses the headphone cable as the antenna and it has no issues picking up a number of stations in my area with a strong, stable connection.
The controls are intuitive and will be right at home for someone that uses and radio frequently. A single, quick press lets you manually hunt down stations while holding the button for one second automatically searches for the next available station. It’s quick and works perfectly. And, if radio presets are your thing you’ve got 30 to work with. Sweet.
MP3 players have fallen out of popularity over the years thanks to smart phones. Why carry multiple devices when you’ve already got what amounts to a powerful, fully featured PC hanging out in your pocket? The X02 is the kind if device you take with you when you don’t want to put that expensive smart phone in harms way, or just want something quick and simple to listen to music through.
Yes, it has some quirks, and yes, the sound quality isn’t going to win any awards, but that should be expected. It’s a media player for your average consumer, and taken as it is, it’s a wonderful little device. Bring it with you to the gym or on bike rides. Toss it in your purse to use those times you miss the bus by a minute and have to wait for the next one. Make it your kid’s first media player. You know they’ll probably break it at some point so you might as well start them off with something inexpensive, yet capable of sparking their interest in music and the arts.
The X02 costs less than most budget earphones, it has great file support, the controls are intuitive and familiar right out the gate, and the graphical interface is quick and easy to navigate. It has a ton of features too, like a radio, e-book reader, video player, and voice recorder. You might not use any of it beyond your first run through of the device, and it’s certainly not the ideal device to consume videos or books, but it’s all there and everything works. The battery life is outstanding as well and I have yet to have the device crash or shut down unexpectedly, so it runs reliably too.
While the X02 isn’t something I am likely to continue using since I already have considerably more capable (and expensive) media players, I respect it and really enjoyed using it over the last month or so. It’s an honest device that should make a lot of customers happy.

Each of the city centres or visitor attractions on the Renault Z.E. Tour was chosen for its proximity to a Z.E. dealer and local charging infrastructure. The carmaker will be based out of a geodesic dome, with a Twizy handling course alongside, where members of the public will be able to book demonstrations and on-road test drives.
The Kangoo Z.E., Fluence Z.E. and Twizy will be available to try from the start of the tour, later joined by a ZOE display car. Renault will present attendees with a sheet displaying what they could save by making the switch to an equivalent Z.E. vehicle, with all entries put into a prize draw for the amount of money saved.
Andy Heiron, UK head of electric vehicles programme, said: ‘Our current three-model range has already been attracting a lot of interest, especially the unique Twizy. The proof of the pudding though is trying them out.

If you want proof that the immediate rewards of the MBA degree have declined, look no further than the past ten years. From 2001 to 2010, the costs of getting the degree have significantly outpaced starting pay at every one of the top 20 U.S. business schools.
An analysis by Poets&Quants of school recommended budgets to attend a two-year program and median salaries show that large amounts of value have eroded from certain programs. The assessments were made on the basis of a school’s recommended budget for students to attend their MBA program compared against the median starting base salaries of a school’s graduates. The analysis did not take into account the fellowship grants that would reduce the costs of getting a degree.
Whether this is merely a reflection of the overall economy which has led to widespread layoffs and stalled salaries among many white collar employees or a sign that the cachet of an MBA has declined is up in the air. But there’s no question that MBA candidates working toward the degree today will take a longer time to achieve a return on their investment than their predecessors did ten years ago.
Which schools saw the greatest depletion of value in the past decade?
The costs of attending Carnegie Mellon University’s Tepper School rose 12.8 times faster than its MBA starting salaries–more than any other top 20 school–while the University of Texas’ McCombs School of Business saw the cost of attending its MBA program jump 11.7 times its median salaries for graduates.
Which schools held the most value? The two at the top of the list: Stanford Graduate School of Business increased its budget recommendations to students by only 1.6 times its salary increases, and the costs of getting a Chicago Booth MBA rose only 2.2 times the salary of a Booth graduate. They were followed by MIT Sloan and New York University’s Stern School of Business, both of which saw costs rise 2.4 times median salary increases.
By and large, the top ten schools did significantly better than the bottom ten in the top 20. In the top ten schools, the costs of the degree rose three times the median salaries. But in the bottom ten of the top 20 schools the costs increased 6.5 times pay.
The single biggest increase in the cost of an MBA over the past ten years occurred at Texas-Austin where the recommended two-year budget for a student surged 140% to $127,444 from $53,034. Meantime, median base salaries went up only 12% to $95,000 for the Class of 2010 from $85,000 for the Class of 2001.
The smallest increase in base salary was at Emory University’s Goizueta School where pay increased by only 6% in the past ten years to $90,000 from $85,000. The cost of getting a Goizueta degree, however, jumped by 45% to $130,280 from $89,920.
Among the elite private schools, the greatest deterioration in the value equation was at Columbia Business School. The costs of getting the degree rose 8.9 times faster than the starting salaries in the past ten years. The recommended two-year budget at Columbia jumped 71% to $169,502 from $99,388, while median base pay increased by only 8% to $100,000 in 2010 from $93,000 in 2001.

DON’T MISS: THE CLASS THE LOANS FELL ON or IS THE MBA STILL WORTH THE COST AND THE TIME?

Leave plenty of time for parking if you plan to drive.
They offered cheese bites for $2.00 each! Cafe menu is very limited, eat before you go there!
Overpriced wine and the "snacks" are not worth it at all.
Don't expect all the galleries to be open at these events. The third floor was closed this time.
Take the T to the Gardner.
You can dress any way you like. I saw jeans and I saw fur coats.
The wine is overpriced, but standing around the Gardner with a glass of wine in your hand is nice.
Elevator wasn't working at all.
Best to take the T. It's only a few blocks away from the E green line and 39 bus.

Amir Zoghi was mutually introduced by my new Aspen friend, Kirra Sherman, and I was immediately drawn to his work. What interested me particularly was when I heard he was taught by his mom (mum in Austrailia) to follow his heart and be himself. That is the basis of how this conversation begins, and it ends with a very special offer at the very end to do a year-long program together with me.
Here is Amir Zoghi’s website, where you can also check out his WTF Experience Course and his OMG Coaching Program.

Chris and Justin met through a mutual friend days after moving from Chicago over to Michigan in the summer of 2014 and began their homebrew journey. Days after the first batch, David was brought into the mix as him and Chris met while sailing on Lake Michigan one summer evening. Dave was wearing a Bell's Brewery shirt and explained his background in Chemistry. Chris, Justin and David have been brewing beer with one another as long as they've known each other.
After graduating from Purdue University in 2013 with a degree in Protein Biochemistry, David moved to St. Joseph, MI to put his degree to work at chemistry laboratory as well to pursue his passion for sailing.
Dave leads all brewing operations.
Joey Schaul graduated from Michigan State University in 2015 with a major in Food Industry Management. You can often find Joe behind the bar, distributing kegs or pilot brewing new small batch recipes.
Soon after graduating from Anderson University in 2012 with a degree in Marketing Communications, Chris moved to Chicago and was fortunate enough to have had a second job working nights at West Lakeview Liquors where he credits the majority of his beer knowledge and learned the variety about the beer industry.
Chris leads all marketing and business operations.
The best way to get a nickname is being the second Justin in the group and getting your mug misspelled.
After graduating from Michigan State University in 2012 with a degree in Hospitality, Justin moved to Chicago and worked for Marriott International. Shortly after, Justin moved to Michigan to build/start a hop farm.
Justin leads all front of house operations.

Wedding announcements showered the city this week in the wake of Portland’s new legalization of interspecies marriage. The first couple to celebrate the new law was Grant Powell, 38, and his cat Chibbles.
Lawmakers cited their inspiration as coming from laws which legalized homosexual marriage at the turn of the 21st century.
Proponents of the law continue to voice their enthusiastic support. Others announced upcoming weddings featuring chameleons, swans and one very lucky ostrich.

With today’s focus on efficiency, reconfiguration of your existing furniture is a cost-effective way to improve your workspace.
We evaluate your existing layout and inventory, as well as develop a new plan to best suit your needs.
The result is a refreshed environment that can accommodate changing staff requirements while ensuring optimum performance and return on investment. We marry the talents of design, project management, and installation to offer you exceptional services.
We verify the existing space and floor plan and create an inventory of what products the client already has. This information helps us to do develop new layouts and determine what products could be re-used to cut down on costs.
The information that is gathered in the “As-Built Verification” phase is used to develop new layouts within the client’s existing space or to relocate the product to a new space. For example, we could easily take a 6-pack of workstations that has individual L-shape desks, and reconfigure the components to create a benching-style, straight-surface workstation. We use what the client already has in new and exciting ways to freshen their workspace.
We create a detailed list of products from the client’s space that we can re-use, as well as a list of what is not being used and what is needed to build the new furniture layout. Our goal is to save clients money wherever possible.
Our designers are trained to specify manufacturers’ products to meet the technical and functional aspects of the product that is being used.

Did you remember or take heed?
Soon the Day of Atonement will be here, one of the holiest day of the year in which we believe Messiah will return in the seventh month, ha ethanim, at someone’s life time in the future.
As the Day of Atonement approaches, we are told to examine ourselves, afflict ourselves with scrutinizing observation of whether we are in the body or not.
2 Cor. 13  Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Yeshua Messiah is in you, except ye be reprobates?
1Cor.11  But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
 My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the Yehovah.
So who is my brother, sister or neighbor?
Luke 10  But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Yeshua, And who is my neighbour?
30] And Yeshua answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
Matt. 12  Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
Should we use the logic that says: people that have a few of our beliefs are our brothers and sisters?
Which belief, commandment do you feel is more important than the others?
but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great least (by them) in the kingdom of heaven.
Are these your brothers, sisters or neighbors that have these traits or attributes?
Wrangling = to argue or dispute, especially in a noisy or angry manner.
1Cor.11  For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
Division - dichostasia - dee-khos-tas-ee'-ah- disunion, that is, (figuratively) dissension: - division, sedition.
Insurrection = an act or instance of rising in revolt, rebellion, or resistance against civil authority or an established government.
Jas.3  But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
Some say I present myself as the torah, Sabbath police.
Some people call me an “exacting” Minister.
to exact respect from one's children.
for I perceive that the same letter / epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge!
2 Cor. 10  Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Messiah’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Messiah’s, even so are we Messiah’s.
 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Messiah, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Messiah.
I ask you now, before the day, please forgive me if I hurt you with words, for that was not intention.
The reason I put this study together is that I hear so many people arguing about irrelevant subjects that are neither here nor there.
Eschatology: Any system of doctrines concerning last, or final, matters, as the future state of events to the end, death, the Judgment, etc. , a branch of theology.
What are the relevant subjects in scripture you should focus on first in your short life?
What are the not so relevant subjects in scripture you should focus on later in your studies?
What are the irrelevant subjects in scripture that no one can answer?
What should we focus on first?
Answer: 1John.3  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law / Torah: for sin is the transgression of the law / Torah.
Do you know the Law, Torah? Do you know what Ignorance sin And Presumptuous sin are?
Look it up before it is too late!

Addressing the proverbial elephant in the room, Mr. Crab 2 has nothing to do with the Spongebob series and the character Mr. Krabs – for one, that character has a “K” at the start of his name. This brand new iOS game from Illusion Labs is totally different – it’s called Mr. Crab 2, and it puts you in control of the irresistible, friendly, and cool superhero called Mr. Crab. He’s got some new friends joining him in this new adventure, and the goal of the game is to save all the lost baby crabs. There’s a lot of jumping and physics-related challenges here that would require exquisite timing and quick actions, and the presence of various enemies will also make it harder for you to achieve your goal. Though, as is always the case, achieving those goals is not at all impossible.
This is a fun game that’s not as casual or simple as other arcade titles, but it’s still simple enough for most players to learn. Even then, we believe all gamers should have a chance at a head start, should they want to finish the game or go far as soon as possible. So with that said, here are some pretty cool Mr. Crab 2 tips and tricks that can help you overcome more obstacles and save more crabs.
The levels in Mr. Crab 2 are designed like vertical structures, meaning a lot like towers or tall buildings. Normally, you’ll find the exit on top of the level, or near it. And while you will, by instinct, want to move up, you will also want to explore quite a bit. The game’s makers have conveniently hidden a lot of the baby crabs in those tight spaces that are otherwise easy to miss. Save those big jumps for later in the level and try to look as thoroughly in the tower while being alert for those baby crabs. Don’t make the mistake of going too high too fast, because you just might miss a couple stealthy little crabs in the process.
One of the key mechanics of this game is grabbing stars as you see them, and collecting as many of them as possible. This is important, because the free Mr. Crab 2 is actually a “lite” version of the full game; most of the levels on the free version are conveniently hidden, and you’ll only be able to go so far before you’ll be asked to pay in order to continue. But even if you’re playing this free game that’s effectively Mr. Crab 2 Lite, you can use the stars you earn to get new levels. Simply draw at the vending machine by paying 500 stars per draw, and you’ll be unlocking new levels without having to pay real cash.
If you’re trying to get more stars so you can unlock more of this game, you might want to try the medium Wilderness levels, or harder ones. Bigger stars give you two stars instead of the standard 1-is-to-1 ratio, so play those medium levels so you can get two stars for the price of one.
Aside from serving as the main goal of the game, rescuing baby crabs also has a few other perks you might be interested in. Primarily, you can unlock new characters if you collect enough crabs. Take note that each level has a given number of baby crabs you have to find, and allows you to check how many more you have to find, and how many remain in the crab silhouettes. So feel free to go back and comb the level once again if you’re almost at the end of it and have a couple more baby crabs you haven’t saved yet.
The game’s levels will often come with mechanisms, or features, that allow you to move around faster. These include gates, swings, bounce pads, and a lot more that can help you get around faster. Hop on one of those mechanisms if you see one, and let them take you around. And if you’re worried about those mechanisms leading you to a trap, they won’t; oftentimes, they’ll take you to a baby crab.
One thing that many don’t notice at first, but eventually do, is how the crab keeps moving in a single direction until it hits a wall, then turns around and goes the opposite way once it does. While it’s doing that, the crab’s eyes are going to move, and always will be pointing to the direction they’re about to be going. So if you’re moving around the level thanks to one of the mechanisms we told you about earlier, but don’t know where your crab is going next, look at their eyes.
These would be our collection of tips and tricks for Mr. Crab 2. If you enjoy playing this exciting Illusion Labs title or know some more hints for the game, don’t hesitate to leave a comment below.

Pchum Ben Day (Khmer: បុណ្យភ្ជុំបិណ្ឌ – Ancestors’ Day”) is a Cambodian budisht and Brahmanism Festival, culminating in celebrations on the 15th day of the tenth month in the Khmer Calendar ( the lunar month of Pot-bot) where Cambodian pay respect to their ancentors and spirt deceased.
Pchum Ben is considered unique to Cambodia, however, there are merit-transference ceremonies that can be closely compared to it in Sri Lanka (benefitting the ghosts of the dead), and, in its broad outlines, it even resembles the Taiwanese Ghost Festival (i.e., especially in its links to the notion of a calendrical opening of the gates of hell, King Yama, and so on).
The festival present that – This is a time when the spirits of the dead ancestors walk the Earth. And the living can ease their suffering by offering them food to eat. According to Buddhist beliefs, the lives that we live, after death, are predicated by the actions that we took when we were living. Minor infractions would be punished with small punishments, such as being an unattractive ghost or having a small mouth. With a small mouth, it is hard to eat. Other, more severe, punishments could include being crippled or having no mouth at all.
During the period of the gates of hell being opened, ghosts of the dead are presumed to be especially active, and thus food-offerings are made to benefit them, some of these ghosts having the opportunity to end their period of purgation, whereas others are imagined to leave hell temporarily, to then return to endure more suffering; without much explanation, relatives who are not in hell (who are in heaven or otherwise reincarnated) are also generally imagined to benefit from the ceremonies.
It is a very familiar festivity. Most Cambodians go back to their birth places, joining the extended family to pay honor to their decease relatives and ancestors. Schools, offices and commerce are closed during the three main days of the festivity. The deceased that are considered without living relatives, are also remembered in the pagodas. Early morning the families prepared a special sacred food made of sticky rice. The family goes together to the nearby pagoda and offers the food to the ancestors. They walk around the temple three times in prayerful attitude with incense and chants. They offer also money and other gifts that are used by the bonzis either for their own maintenance (that is not too much of course) and for the poor. If you notice, in many pagodas there is often a small troop of orphans that are actually feeding and educated by the bonzis. Giving money to the pagodas is actually a good social action.
At midday the families return to the pagoda to present more offerings that will help in cancelling your own sins and helping the poor. The last day of the Pchum Ben is the most special, with everybody dressing in their best clothes and the family going to the pagoda with flowers and other special presents for the bonzis. They dedicate the last prayers to their ancestors helping them in their travel through a better ‘life.’ According to the traditions, those who do not pay respect to their ancestors, will be cursed by them.
