I’ve heard my share of Bluetooth speakers, but the RIVA Turbo X is definitely a cut above most. About the size of a brick and weighing in at a hefty three pounds, the Turbo X is great if you’re looking for a portable wireless speaker that can put out lots of sound.
I took the Turbo X home to try out. Out of the box, it was charged up and ready to go. When I powered it on, a friendly British voice emanated from the speaker to tell me that it was in pairing mode. The voice prompts also let you know when your Bluetooth device is wirelessly paired with the speaker – a nice touch.
I used my smartphone to play Spotify playlists through the Turbo X. When we had friends over, it provided background music on our screen porch. I didn’t come close to maxing out the volume.
Play music wirelessly from your smartphone with RIVA Turbo X.
Before guests started arriving, I sat and listened for a while. I was impressed by the clarity and dynamic punch this Bluetooth speaker offers. The sound is also rather spacious for such a compact speaker. On “Unknown Legend” by Neil Young, I was surprised by how lush the backing vocals in the chorus sounded. Vocal clarity in general was excellent – the Turbo X has a real knack for putting them front and center.
Later, I brought the Turbo X inside to see just how loudly it can play. Wow. Much of its three-pound weight must be dedicated to amplification for the three built-in drivers. This thing can crank. And if you’re at maximum volume and still need more, activate “Turbo” mode, for an EQ boost that takes the volume level even higher. It’s probably ideal for a tailgate party at a football game, but way too loud for any room in my house.
This speaker also does bass really well. The latest album from Alabama Shakes, Sound and Color, sounded rich and full in the low end. Placing the speaker on my kitchen counter in the corner accentuated it, but the bass was prominent even sitting out on a table in the middle of my dining room.
The free RIVA Ground Control app lets you monitor battery life, control the volume, and activate Turbo and Surround modes.
The Turbo X also has a built-in microphone, so you can use it as a speakerphone. I tested it out with my kids by calling their mother who was out of town for the night. The clarity of her voice was far superior to my smartphone, and it was great to all be able to talk at once instead of passing the phone around.
I also loved the long battery life of this rechargeable speaker. It can last up to 26 hours, which is important if you’re taking it out of the house and away from power outlets. No reason to fear a stoppage of music with that much battery power.
Another cool feature is the free app for your phone or tablet. It lets you activate Turbo or Surround mode (for more spacious sound) remotely, as well as adjust the volume of the speaker. My favorite feature of the app is that it will tell you exactly how much battery life you have left. No more guesswork as you’re getting ready to leave the house and unsure if the battery is almost dead.
If you’re looking for a portable wireless speaker that doesn’t skimp on sound – in quantity and quality – the RIVA Turbo X is a great choice.
How this speakers compare to the Fugoo xl , UE megaboom and Jbl extreme ? . How it compares to the Riva S that is coming soon ? I'm looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker with great sound .
I have had nothing but a good experience with the orders I have gotten from Crutchfield. They are a trustworthy company and I will order again.

I need one of these to compare to the Bose soundlink my coworker just bought and keeps bragging about.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Fewer people signed contracts to buy homes in July, the fourth decline in the past five months.
The decrease likely reflects the worsening shortage nationwide of homes being listed for sale.
The National Association of Realtors said Thursday that its pending home sales index fell 0.8 percent in July to 109.1.
The index has slipped 1.3 percent over the past 12 months.
The decline suggests that home-buying has begun to stall because fewer homes are on the market. The dwindling number of properties for sale is causing prices to rise faster than wages, hurting affordability. Just 1.92 million existing homes were listed for sale in July, a 9 percent decline over the past 12 months.
Demand among would-be homebuyers has remained relatively strong despite the shortage.
The 4.3 percent unemployment rate and an economic expansion now in its ninth year have drawn more buyers into the market. These buyers are also benefiting from relatively low 30-year mortgage rates that are averaging 3.82 percent this week, according to mortgage buyer Freddie Mac.
But rising home values means that more buyers are straining their budgets. The median sales price has climbed 6.2 percent to $258,300, more than double the pace of growth in average hourly earnings.
The number of signed contracts fell in the Northeast, Midwest and South in July. But pending sales rose in the West.
Pending sales contracts are a barometer of future purchases.
Sales are typically completed a month or two after a contract is signed.

I had never experienced a dealership quite like it and was so impressed with how they did business. I’m the newest member of the sales team and while I’m not related to the LeSueur Family, they treat everyone, employees and customers, like family. I love helping people find the perfect car for them and I love my job!
I have had the opportunity to work here at my family business since I was very little. I remember cleaning windows when I was 5 years old because I wanted to hang out with my dad and brothers.

As a result, this vehicle is known as a manufacturer buyback. *VERY IMPORTANT* ALL regular warranties remain intact with this vehicle, and extended warranties are also available. The car has NO existing problems and all complaints have been resolved.

WASHINGTON U.S. President Donald Trump defended his firing of FBI Director James Comey on Wednesday as Democrats intensified accusations that the ouster was intended to undermine an agency probe into his presidential campaign’s possible collusion with Russia to sway the 2016 election.
The Republican president’s abrupt move on Tuesday stunned Washington and was swiftly condemned by Democrats and by some in his own party. Senior Democrats pressed for an independent investigation into the Russia issue.
In a flurry of Twitter posts earlier, Trump offered a further explanation and lambasted his critics.
Many Democrats have criticized Comey’s management of that investigation, but they sharply questioned the timing of his dismissal, given that Trump could have acted soon after taking office on Jan. 20 and that he has repeatedly criticized the FBI and congressional probes into alleged Russian meddling in the presidential election.
Comey had asked Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein last week for a significant boost in resources for the agency’s probe, and later briefed U.S. lawmakers on the request, the New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing three unnamed officials. The Washington Post also reported Comey’s request.
He also dismissed Democratic calls for the Justice Department to appoint a special prosecutor to look into Moscow’s role in the election and possible ties between Trump associates and Russia. Speaking on the Senate floor, McConnell said a new investigation would “only serve to impede” existing probes such as one under way in the Senate intelligence committee.
The Senate’s minority leader, Democrat Chuck Schumer, said Rosenstein should appoint a special prosecutor, and he also called on McConnell to hold closed and potentially classified briefings with all U.S. senators to question Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Rosenstein.
Schumer said such briefings should address why Sessions, who previously recused himself from involvement in the Russia investigation after misstating his own contacts in 2016 with Russia’s ambassador to Washington, was able to influence the firing of the man conducting the FBI’s Russia investigation.
“We know Director Comey was leading an investigation in(to) whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians, a serious offense. Were those investigations getting too close to home for the president?” Schumer said.
Russia has repeatedly denied any such meddling. The Trump administration denies allegations of collusion with Russia.
Vice President Mike Pence said Comey’s firing was unrelated to the Russia probe. Trump was in the process of evaluating candidates to take over the FBI, Pence told reporters after meetings with lawmakers in the U.S. Capitol.
“President Trump made the right decision at the right time,” Pence said.
Trump’s nominee as the new director would need to win Senate confirmation. Trump’s possible choices to head the FBI on an interim basis, according to a White House official, include: acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe; Assistant Director Paul Abbate; Chicago FBI agent Michael Anderson; and Richmond, Virginia agent Adam Lee.
U.S. stocks were little changed and Treasury benchmark yields retreated on Wednesday as Comey’s firing spurred some concern among investors that the fallout could hinder the president’s economic agenda.
Some Democrats compared Trump’s move to the “Saturday Night Massacre” of 1973, in which President Richard Nixon ordered the firing of an independent special prosecutor investigating the Watergate scandal that eventually led Nixon to resign.
Trump hit back at Blumenthal in his Twitter messages, referring to him as “Richie,” calling his comments on the Comey firing “a joke” and alluding to a years-old controversy over the senator’s military service during the Vietnam War era.
The Republican chairman of the Senate intelligence committee said Comey’s ouster could temporarily delay the panel’s investigation into the alleged Russian meddling.
Republican Senator John McCain said on CNN he has not seen a “good explanation” for the firing.
As the controversy swirled, Trump met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in the Oval Office on Wednesday. Afterward, Trump said the two had “a very, very good meeting” and discussed the need to stop the killing in Syria’s lengthy civil war.
Their meeting was the highest-level public contact between Trump and Putin’s government since Trump took office on Jan. 20.

Developing quality relationships with your coworkers and boss takes effort. One of the things you need to watch in order to protect these relationships is your words and speech patterns. You probably remember being told to “use your words” as a child. There are some words and speech habits that you should not use at work.
“I can’t believe he got that raise…” “She’s a terrible leader…” Not only is complaining unprofessional, it tears down your attitude and the attitudes of those around you. It’s one of the fastest ways to make your reputation crash and burn. No one wants to be around someone who complains and never seeks a solution to their problems. If you have an issue with someone, then you need to address them. Maybe you perceived your boss as being harsh; go and talk with him or her. You may have been passed over for a promotion. Don’t be envious of your coworker. Instead, be willing to congratulate them. Whether you’re able to fix your problem or not, never complain to others at work.
Sharing about bodily ailments beyond a headache or a cold falls into the too much information category. Getting too personal and talking about your latest relationship difficulties should be left out of your office conversations too. If you have a close relationship with a coworker, then some of that information can be shared with them. But please, don’t broadcast your many and in-depth personal issues to the office.
Just as complaining can result in a loss of credibility, so does gossip. In fact, gossip is an even quicker career killer. A gossip is apparently unable to keep information to himself, and so lacks discretion. You wouldn’t trust a gossip, so why would your boss or your coworkers? Don’t give in to the urge to tell someone when you know a piece of information. Protect your reputation and say ‘no’ to this urge.
This should be a no-brainer, but it is still a regular visitor at many offices. If a joke could be offensive to a group of people, then don’t tell it. It’s not worth the few uneasy chuckles you might get to insult someone and damage your relationship with them. Steer clear of crude or rude jokes. They’re really not funny.
A boss or coworker may request something of you that seems unreasonable or isn’t within your immediate job description. Rather than quickly shutting them down, consider their request. If you feel it clashes with your workload, explain that to them. Be willing to hear them out, but also know how to communicate the stress it would put on you. If you can help them out with some or all of their request, don’t be unwilling to do a little extra work. Helping a boss or a coworker fosters goodwill, which is always good to have at a workplace.
Using slang is unprofessional in the workplace, even if it’s your normal way of speaking. If it becomes too much of a pattern, it can seep into your speech when it really counts, such as a presentation to the board.
Help yourself out, and keep others from discounting you because of poor speech habits. Be professional and courteous at work. Set the pattern for respectful and meaningful interactions at your workplace and show yourself a leader worth following.

Cooler weather is here and I’m having wonderful thoughts of warm, cozy things. Felting (I know, I know, it’s properly called fulling, but felting sounds so much nicer) has been on my mind, so I dug up this cryptic felted crochet button I made a few months ago. Feel free to steal it!
Speaking of felting, last week I was very happy to receive a wonderful surprise package from Lynette and Monica. What sweeties they are! I truly appreciate both of these lovely gifts.
Two more views of the bag (and, if you look closely, the bracelet, too!). I adore the button closure!
Thank you very much, Lynette and Monica, for such fabulous gifts!
I just found your site by Googleing “Selling free crochet patterns on ebay copyright.” I was just browsing on ebay and saw one seller selling lots of stuff from groovy crochet! I wanted to find a place to report it, but oh well. Thanks for giving us a place to discuss it and how wrong it is. We should start up a neighborhood watch type group that finds these copyright violators and everyone in the group emails them, voiceing their displeasure.
I’m so happy that you like both your gifts. They look great in your photos.
Have a wonderful weekend away!
Interesting button. You know Ihave to steal it.
The bag and bracelet are perfect! Kind of neat to make two ‘matching’ things! I agree with how beautiful that button looks…really adds to the look of the bag. Do you have a pic of your Golden Retriever anywhere on your site? I’d love to see it because I have fallen in love with the goldens! I have a 10 1/2 wk golden pup! I can tell she is going to be just a great dog!
You look good with the bracelet and bag! I’m glad you like them!

David Hockney, OM, CH, RA (born 9 July 1937) is an English painter, draughtsman, printmaker, stage designer and photographer. An important contributor to the pop art movement of the 1960s, he is considered one of the most influential British artists of the 20th century.
Hockney has a home and studio in Kensington, London and two residences in California, where he has lived on and off for over 30 years: one in Nichols Canyon, Los Angeles, and an office and archives on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, California.
Hockney was born in Bradford, England, to Laura and Kenneth Hockney (a conscientious objector in the Second World War), the fourth of five children. He was educated at Wellington Primary School, Bradford Grammar School, Bradford College of Art (where his teachers included Frank Lisle and his fellow students included Norman Stevens, David Oxtoby and John Loker) and the Royal College of Art in London, where he met R. B. Kitaj. While there, Hockney said he felt at home and took pride in his work. At the Royal College of Art, Hockney featured in the exhibition Young Contemporaries—alongside Peter Blake—that announced the arrival of British Pop art. He was associated with the movement, but his early works display expressionist elements, similar to some works by Francis Bacon. When the RCA said it would not let him graduate in 1962, Hockney drew the sketch The Diploma in protest. He had refused to write an essay required for the final examination, saying he should be assessed solely on his artworks. Recognising his talent and growing reputation, the RCA changed its regulations and awarded the diploma. After leaving the RCA, he taught at Maidstone College of Art for a short time.
A visit to California, where he subsequently lived for many years, inspired him to make a series of paintings of swimming pools in the comparatively new acrylic medium rendered in a highly realistic style using vibrant colours. The artist moved to Los Angeles in 1964, returned to London in 1968, and from 1973 to 1975 lived in Paris. In 1974 he began a decade-long personal relationship with Gregory Evans who moved with him to the US in 1976 and as of 2017 remains a business partner. In 1978 he rented the canyon house in which he lived when he moved to Los Angeles, and later bought and expanded it to include his studio. He also owned a 1,643-square-foot beach house at 21039 Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, which he sold in 1999 for around $1.5 million.
Hockney is openly gay, and unlike Andy Warhol, whom he befriended, he openly explored the nature of gay love in his portraiture. Sometimes, as in We Two Boys Together Clinging (1961), named after a poem by Walt Whitman, the works refer to his love for men. Already in 1963, he painted two men together in the painting Domestic Scene, Los Angeles, one showering while the other washes his back. In summer 1966, while teaching at UCLA he met Peter Schlesinger, an art student who posed for paintings and drawings, and with whom he was romantically involved.
On the morning of 18 March 2013, Hockney's 23-year-old assistant, Dominic Elliott, died as a result of drinking drain cleaner at Hockney's Bridlington studio; he had also earlier drunk alcohol and taken cocaine, ecstasy and temazepam. Elliott was a first- and second-team player for Bridlington rugby club. It was reported that Hockney's partner drove Elliott to Scarborough General Hospital where he later died. The inquest returned a verdict of death by misadventure and Hockney was never implicated.
In November 2015 Hockney sold his house in Bridlington, a five-bedroomed former guesthouse, for £625,000, cutting all his remaining ties with the town. He retains a studio in London and a house in Malibu, California. Hockney has smoked cigarettes for over 60 years but has been teetotal since 1990 when he had a heart-attack. He holds a California Medical Marijuana Verification Card, which enables him to buy cannabis for medical purposes. He has used hearing aids since 1979, but realised he was going deaf long before that. He swims for half an hour each day and can stand for six hours at the easel.
Hockney made prints, portraits of friends, and stage designs for the Royal Court Theatre, Glyndebourne, La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. Born with synaesthesia, he sees synesthetic colours in response to musical stimuli. This does not show up in his painting or photography artwork, but is a common underlying principle in his designs for stage sets for ballet and opera—where he bases background colours and lighting on the colours he sees while listening to the piece's music.
Hockney painted portraits at different periods in his career. From 1968, and for the next few years he painted friends, lovers, and relatives just under lifesize and in pictures that depicted good likenesses of his subjects. Hockney's own presence is often implied, since the lines of perspective converge to suggest the artist's point of view. Hockney has repeatedly returned to the same subjects – his parents, artist Mo McDermott (Mo McDermott, 1976), various writers he has known, fashion designers Celia Birtwell and Ossie Clark (Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy, 1970–71), curator Henry Geldzahler, art dealer Nicholas Wilder, George Lawson and his ballet dancer lover, Wayne Sleep.

Jazz-pop vocalist Trijntje Oosterhuis (aka Traincha) was brought up in a culturally rich, supportive household. In 1990 she formed the band "Total Touch" with her brother Tjeerd Oosterhuis and, in 1991, they participated in the Grote Prijs van Nederland, the most important amateur musician contest in the Netherlands. Trijntje got the opportunity to tour with Candy Dulfer in 1994 after collaborating with her on the album Big Girl. Originally the tour was supposed to last six weeks; however, it became a two-year tour around the world. Total Touch was offered a record deal in 1995 and the debut album Total Touch was released in 1996. The first single Touch Me There became a summer hit and went Platinum, selling over 100,000 copies in its first month despite only peaking the Dutch charts at #14. The next album This Way became their first #1 album and was equally successful, although the album was not well known internationally. In 1999, they took a small break, and Trijntje Oosterhuis released a live album with covers of Stevie Wonder. In 2001, the group decided to go their separate ways, with Tjeerd wanting to focus on production and songwriting and Trijntje wanting to launch her solo career.
In March 2003, Oosterhuis's debut solo album, Trijntje Oosterhuis, was released and met with moderate success. The album consisted mainly of ballads and presented her as a diva. Trijntje personally has a fondness for Jazz instead of pop ballads, and in 2004 she therefore signed a record deal with Blue Note and released the live album Strange Fruit, consisting of Billie Holiday and George Gershwin covers. The album received critical acclaim, and Trijntje finally managed to achieve fame beyond her home country. In September 2004 Trijntje gave birth to her son Jonas. On July 31, 2006, she gave birth to a second son, Marijn Benjamin van den Eeden. Her second jazz album called The Look Of Love (Burt Bacharach Songbook) was recorded with Burt Bacharach, who plays the piano on a two tracks and was released November 20, 2006. The new album was certified Platinum on the day of release for having shipped more than 70,000 copies. In December 2006 Trijntje toured with the Metropole Orchestra performing covers of Burt Bacharach andChristmas songs. In 2007, she released a second volume of her collaboration with Burt Bacharach entitled "Who'll Speak For Love", with Burt again playing piano on 3 tracks. In 2008, she released a CD and DVD of an acoustic concert performance with guitarist Leonardo Amuedo, entitled "Ken Je Mij".In September 2008 she was one of the Special Guests at the Symphonica in Rosso concert in Arnhem, starring Lionel Richie. During this concert she sang the duet, "Face in the Crowd", with Lionel Richie. This performance is included in Richie's album, Just Go. In 2009 and 2010, her song "What the World Needs Now" was theme from a Brazilian soap opera Viver a Vida made by Rede Globo. In early 2011, she released the album "Sundays in New York." The CD was given away free to lucky readers of the January 15, 2011 edition of the Dutch newspaper AD.

For those looking to fill their holidays with more plant-based fare, it’s easier than ever!
Not a vegan but hosting some? Easy.
First, do Miyoko’s Double Cream Chive for an appetizer (Available at Fred Meyer).
Sub Earth Balance for butter and plain soymilk for milk in mashed potatoes.
My favorite vegan gravies are those made with nutritional yeast and they are usually quick and simple to whip up.
Roasted veggies like squash + Brussels sprouts are sure to please. Check to make sure there’s no milk in the rolls.
Opt for leaving cheese on the side of salads, etc.
Single servings of protein like country-fried tofu can be found at the Whole Foods hot bar.
And if you really want to blow your vegan guest’s mind, make after-dinner Irish coffees with Bailey’s Almande and Trader Joe’s Coconut Whipped Cream!
Happy Thanksgiving. Hope everyone has a fabulous holiday!

:haha: :haha: He's fitting right in with the rest of the criminals in the ratbird locker room !
I personally think this is crap. Why should he be punished for the other guy being an idiot. Personally, i wanna beat the Ravens when they are at their best, not with Kyle Boller of Troy Smith at QB.
McNair spent how long in Tennessee? He's knows the law there..
Although McNair was merely a passenger, he was charged with a misdemeanor under a Tennessee law that prohibits a vehicle owner from letting it be driven by someone who is inebriated.
He's got no one to blame but himself for this.
B.) He was irresponsibile enough to allow his Brother-In-Law to drive his vechile, therefore making him at fault for allowing a person to DUI with his ownership at risk, therefore, guilty as charged.
I wonder how Roger Goodell is going to handle this one where McNair is the owner of the vechile in which someone was DUI? He better not get a special free pass for this one either, being that McNair's judgement was very irresponsibile and high-risk.
McNair should get punished the same as anyone else. If he's cracking down on the conduct of players outside the confines of the field or locker room then he needs to be fair about it no matter who it is.
Obviously we're not talking about a 1 yr suspension or anything but he should be fined at the very least.
So now these guys can't even drink? I would imagine that law is not too well known. It just seems like one of those "can't ave alligators in the streets past 11PM" laws they have in Florida or something.
I heard this on the drive at five. Fox Sports radio was discussing it and they all finally agreed that by Tennessee LAW, he is guilty, without question. They were saying this is not a TN guideline, it is a law. Noone said the law was right but, it is the law.
Then he will be punished by the NFL for this. Fine and a maybe a few games suspension.
He screwed up whether he knew the law or not, whats that old saying? "Ignorance of the law is no excuse". Its not that he was drinking, its he allowed another person who was drinking to drive his vehicle. Big question, why didn't he drive his own vehicle if both of them were drinking? So he wouldn't get a DUI? He will probably get a talking too and a slap on the wrist.
Born Losers? More like, cursed franchise if I ever seen one. They truly live up to the name of Mistake by the Lake, if they think they are going to make a turn this year for the better, they got another thing coming. Brady Quinn couldn't save this team.
nothing could save this team, unless god came down and played for them!
Is that what your seeking, Honey? LMFAO. I don't think Lord Almighty could save them.
He wasn't drinking and driving, he just got caught up in a technicality of a unique state law. For all we know it was a situation where they had 1 or 2 and decided just to make a quick 5 minute drive home to relax for the night. But instead of success, they got caught running the risk of drinking and driving by a cop that could have just been watching anyone leaving that bar or that area.
He's got the money, he is technically guilty but of nothing too severe. Pay the fines and move on. Up until this point he hasn't given the public or the NFL reason to question his character.
Is it me or does it seem like the AFC north is full of criminals?:lol: This is a stupid law though, he had a designated driver, last time I checked that was a good thing, a lot better than driving smashed and risking his and others lives. I dont think he should be punished. I could see it happening though, with goodell trying to make examples of players who get in to trouble.

It’s easy to understand why the food is a restaurant’s most important asset. So, the restaurant owner has to protect the food to ensure successful operations.
Should something happen to a restaurant’s stock, the results could be bad. In the event of food loss, a type of protection called food spoilage insurance might aid the business.
It is against the law for most restaurants to serve contaminated or spoiled food. Doing so might cause customer illness or injury, and open the business up to liability risks. Should food spoilage occur, the restaurant usually has to dispose of the damaged items.
Many restaurants have to throw out an entire portion of contaminated food, not just one or two pieces. Restaurant stock is expensive, so spoilage losses might cause a blow to profits. No one wants to lose money having to replace this stock. Should the restaurant have a significant stock loss, it might even have to shut down to re-stock. This could cause another drop in profits.
Nevertheless, check your policy before you make a claim. It may not cover every instance of food spoilage. Most spoilage policies will come with maximum limits they will pay in the event of food spoilage. Furthermore, in some cases, it may not be pertinent to file claims against your insurance. Isolated incidents of spoilage may mean you can easily and affordably replace stock. You often don’t want to make a claim unless you have to.
Restaurants can take steps to protect their assets from spoilage. Doing so can potentially prevent insurance claims.
Abide by all local sanitation and food service laws. This will help ensure you never have to get rid of stock because of unlawful mistakes.
Follow proper food storage techniques. Store each item in areas with the proper climate and humidity settings.
Inspect and maintain refrigeration and preservation equipment. If any item malfunctions, it may not properly preserve the food.
Consider investing in electrical generators. This can help preserve food in case of losses of power or other problems.
Getting restaurant insurance should be part of your business plan. That’s why Buschbach Insurance is here to guide you through the process. Explore our website for more information.


text: This research focuses on the pathogenic pollution of coastal recreational waters. Pollution of this resource can have serious social and economic implications. The health of the public could be compromised and there may be associated adverse impacts on the tourism industry. A section of coastline along the Durban Bight and including some of the nation's premier bathing beaches, was used for a case study. The water quality condition of the beaches was evaluated against both local and international marine recreational water quality standards. Most of Durban's bathing beaches were found to have good water quality. However beaches situated close to stormwater drains regularly experience poor water quality conditions. The relationships between beach water quality, the pollution sources and environmental factors such as rainfall were quantified. A weak correlation was found between rainfall and beach pathogenic pollution levels. No correlation was found between successive fortnightly beach samples indicating that the time scales of coastal dispersion processes are significantly shorter than the beach monitoring period. The research also indicates a need to update the SA marine water quality standards. The exclusive use of Escherichia coli (E.coli) as the indicator of faecal pollution is inconsistent with international trends towards the use of Enterococcus, which is a more robust pathogen indicator for marine environments. The main aim of the research was to develop a model to predict the water quality conditions of beaches. The Coastal Water Quality Model (CWQM) is intended to serve two functions: firstly to provide daily estimates of pathogenic pollution levels for beach management (e.g. closure under poor water quality conditions), and secondly to provide decision-makers with a tool for predicting the effects of changes on future water quality conditions. The CWQM was formulated as a stochastic state-space lumped advection diffusion model. A Kalman Filter was used for state estimation. Parameter estimation using the Extended Kalman filter was investigated but found to be unsatisfactory due to large input uncertainties and sparse measurements. An alternative statistical fitting procedure was therefore used for parameter estimation. The model was shown to produce accurate predictions of pathogenic pollution for the case study site. To further demonstrate it's utility. it was used to evaluate options for improving the poor water quality at Battery Beach. The results show that a constructed wetland could be effective in this case.

First stop: Ian Adams goes to the Twin Cities for clean energy jobs, rapid renewable growth, and the innovation ecosystem powered by the University of Minnesota.
How should we think about the best way to promote clean energy and reduce emissions in the U.S.? We gathered some great thinkers across business and philanthropy (and supplied plenty of coffee) to capture their ideas in a new white paper.
Millions in funding, thousands of jobs, hundreds of companies, six accelerators, and one trip to the swamp.

Darn it, I’ve found another way to procrastinate during the day.
I’m not sure I should tell you about it because then you’ll be tempted to procrastinate as well. Hmmm….
Okay, here goes – Lonny (the online magazine that I’ve talked about here and here) has launched a new website that has a library of all of the interiors that have been featured in the magazine. I know, right?!?
Here’s a little eye candy from the site for you to enjoy – and there’s plenty more where that came from!
Drool-worthy, right? I’ll still be using my own design archive a ton, but it’s great to have all of Lonny’s images at my fingertips. Do you think you’ll use it?
P.S. Lonny also has a new blog that could be interesting, and you can also order a print-version of the online magazine (although I know I won’t be shelling out 34 buckaroos per issue when I can get it online for free! Supposedly they are working on getting the price down, though, so we’ll see.).
All images courtesy of Lonny.
I love these images! The second one has a glimpse of a horsey photo in it – and I covet it! Lovely! I probably won’t be perusing the gallery…I’ll wait for you to post the best of the best! Fab inspiration!
Liz, when my hard drive fills up with all the “right clicked, saved-as” photos… I’m coming to you!
I am getting ready to begin redecorating. I created a file for every room of my house and started saving pictures for inspiration!
I won’t be ponying up the $34 either, but I’ll be taking a trip to the library!

One of my favorite things to do is to travel. If I were not called to preach, I’d probably want to be an over-the-road trucker. Or a tour guide for some exotic travel agency. It’s because I get bored easily and love experiencing new things. ADHD.
It’s good to travel because exposing your mind to other cultures is a powerful way to grow personally. When you travel, you learn that American culture is filled with myths. We like to think we’re above other cultures with their primitive beliefs, but we have them too.

David Cui, Chief Financial Officer at Huami recently confirmed that a successor to Xiaomi’s popular Mi Band 3 fitness tracker will be released this year. Even though he denied an imminent launch, the upcoming wearable has just been certified by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG).
The Mi Band 4 variant certified by the Bluetooth SIG happens to be XMSH08HM. In addition to XMSH08HM, the XMSH07HM variant has also been granted Bluetooth certification. As confirmed by the ‘Mi Smart Band 4 NFC’ design name listed on the Bluetooth Launch Studio website, the upcoming fitness tracker will be available with NFC support in certain markets. The current Mi Band 3 also comes in NFC-enabled variants.
Apart from the name of the product, the Bluetooth certification confirms support for the Bluetooth 5.0 Low Energy standard. The current Mi Band 3 supports Bluetooth 4.2 Low Energy, so the Mi Band 4 will be a decent upgrade over its predecessor in terms of connectivity. No other details have been revealed by the Bluetooth SIG, so we will need to wait for the fitness tracker to pop up on other websites in order to find out more about its key features.
According to David Cui, the upcoming Mi Band 4 will offer quite a few new features, as has been the case with previous versions. While no details have surfaced online so far, some are speculating that the Mi Band 4 may offer ECG capabilities. Unlike the Apple Watch Series 4, however, the Mi Band 4 is still expected to be relatively affordable. Apart from an ECG monitor, the Mi Band 4 is also rumored to come with a larger display and improved activity tracking capabilities. Competitive pricing is actually one of the main reasons why the Mi Band series has been so popular among consumers, even in India. The Mi Band 3, which is available in the country for INR 1,999 is still selling hotcakes.
I have Mi Band 3. It is amazing and I have ordered it from Dubai.
Please boycott all Chinese products since they support terrorists like Masood, boycott all Chinese brands like Oppo, Xiaomi, Vivo, Realme, POCO, OnePlus, Huawei, etc. You have better options in Samsung, Nokia, Apple, Lava, Bharat, Micromax, etc. For once, support your country first and then fulfill your selfish needs.
I have all three Bands from Xiaomi love them all can’t wait for Band 4 to come out.
Kab tak aayega ye Mi Band 4 India mein?

The most obvious advantage to stainless steel is its durability and longevity. This is because of its alloy composition (meaning it is a composite of a number of metals). The result is an inert metal that is resistant to corrosion and will not break down or become brittle when exposed to heat or cold. Unlike some plastics, it does not need additional chemical treatments to increase its durability. Furthermore, it will not shatter when dropped, or scratch with normal use. The scratch resistance of Stainless Steel also means that food or bacteria cannot find a place to hide, even after washing.
Which leads to our next point, Stainless Steel is the first choice of hospitals, kitchens and food processing plants because of its easy cleaning ability. You do not need to use strong chemical cleaners to ensure that the product is clean and it is not prone to increased wear and tear from repeated washing.

After touring several possible fishing boats from Playa Honda, and with unfavorable prognosis, we found silverside of 55 cm.
The comments regarding fishing for Silversides in our wide and generous Río de la Plata were not very encouraging among those who week after week embarked km and km River in search of the best sectors. However, always the silverside angler seeks in its waters the possibility of giving with the big trophy of the species. And on many occasions the great estuary has given us both quality and quantity Silversides, exemplary ranging from 1 to 2 pounds of weight.
The climate is one of the factors that is not helping. At the time of the survey, even water is maintained at a temperature higher than 15 degrees, and usually the best catches occur when it is below the 12. In recent times has not felt the winter cold in this region, except for a couple of days to immediately return to raise the temperature, both the environment and the waters of the River Lion color.
Despite all of these factors against, were several fishermen friends that we coordinate an output to see how we was fishing, always relying on the pleasant possibility of giving with the schools that run through the central part of the river. It is the sector commonly referred to as Playa Honda, where converge different geographical possibilities (banks, sunken ships, some few pools) and an average depth of 3 m, extend over several funds of limestone that make the area an excellent fishing for the season.
years sailed these waters, when the only references were Sun, the buildings of Buenos Aires, the Uruguayan coast and lost shadows of groves of Punta Morán, without forgetting the mast which you could see very far marking to the sunken ship Supreme Entrerriano. Other large supports presenting the cyber world today is to be able to check the weather and wind forecasts: Although several times you make mistake, allow us to choose where we must navigate not to hit us both along the way.

text: Similarity search is a fundamental operation for applications that deal with multimedia data. For a query in a multimedia database it is meaningless to look for elements exactly equal to a given one as query. Instead, we need to measure the similarity (or dissimilarity) between the query object and each object of the database. The similarity search problem can be formally defined through the concept of metric space, which provides a formal framework that is independent of the application domain. In a metric database, the objects from a metric space can be stored and similarity queries about them can be efficiently answered. In general, the search efficiency is understood as minimizing the number of distance calculations required to answer them. Therefore, the goal is to preprocess the dataset by building an index, such that queries can be answered with as few distance computations as possible. However, with very large metric databases is not enough to preprocess the dataset by building an index, it is also necessary to speed up the queries by using high performance computing, as GPU. In this work we show an implementation of a pure GPU architecture to build the Pemutation Index, used for approximate similarity search on databases of different data nature. Our proposal is able to solve many queries at the same time.

Industry insiders have confirmed that Honda will be producing a hybrid version of the Honda Fit subcompact car, known as the Honda Jazz on our Malaysian shores. Rumours of a hybrid engined version of the Honda Fit was first reported by the Nihon Keizai, a big financial daily in Japan.
Nihon Keizai mentioned in it’s previous report that Honda is developing a new 1.0 litre hybrid engine for the Honda Fit hybrid, but an anonymous source said the Honda Fit hybrid will likely use the Honda Insight’s engine, a 1.0 litre 12 valve 3-cylinder Honda Integrated Motor Assist hybrid engine. The Fit would also likely replace the Honda Insight in it’s market segment, though production of the Insight would likely continue for bragging rights as one of the most fuel-efficient vehicle manufactured on US roads, though in reality it lost the title to the Messerschmitt KR200. It was also the first hybrid car to be on sale for the mass market in the US.
The Honda Insight engine is a SOHC inline-3 1.0 litre engine making 67 horsepower at 5700rpm in gasoline mode and 73 horsepower at 5700rpm with Integrated Motor Assist. It comes with both manual and CVT gearbox options. The Honda Insight was featured in the movie Be Cool, where it was called the Cadillac of hybrids. The 1.0 litre IMA engine won the International Engine of the Year award 2000, and held the Sub-1 litre category from 2001 to 2005.

Mother's Day is a week away and I bet mostly everyone is still a giftless wreck when it comes to what to get their mom. Traditional gifts include bouquets, sappy greeting cards and a nice dinner at an overcrowded restaurant. Not feeling traditional? Read on to get some great ideas for your wonderful mom.
1. Take her to a free (or cheap) concert or show. When I was in college, there was some kind of event happening on campus weekly, if not more often. On her birthday one year there was a jazz concert on campus, so I picked up free tickets (student perks!) and my mom and I went together. It wasn't something either of us would usually listen to or go to, but we had a ton of fun, and I got extra credit for a class I was taking.
2. Make her anything homemade. Usually take your mom to dinner? Try cooking for her instead. She's probably used to doing the cooking, so a night out of the kitchen is more than deserved. Find a fancy Pinterest recipe and get cooking. (If you need a test run, make it for yourself or friends in advance to get it right.) Also, moms love all sorts of personally made gifts. Artistic? Sketch or paint her something. I used to sketch/paint weird, bloody hands when I was in high school. My mom still has them framed around the house. Once again, Pinterest is beneficial here for homemade gifts.
3. Do some chores around the house. Whether you live at home or own your own, your mom could use the day, or week, off. Clean her house. Vacuum or mop. Do the dishes. Clean out the gutters. Wash her car. Do the hard, nitty gritty stuff. She deserves it. Truly.
4. Get her a plant. Okay, so yes, I said flowers were overrated. They die. Too soon. But if your mom's Ito gardening, buy her a potted plant or flower seeds. She can keep these much longer and Spring is the perfect time for gardening. If her thumb's not so green, get her something easy like a cactus or a succulent. We've done this for my boyfriend's mom in the past and she loves it. Her flowers still grow in her garden every year.
5. Pamper her. Take her out for a spa day, of sorts. My mom has neck and shoulder problems, so when her hair gets too long, it's hard for her to take care of. I like to take her to get something done with her hair on special occasions so she can be more comfortable on a daily basis. Getting her nails done or a massage are also high on the list of ways to make your mom happy.
6. Take her out shopping. But not to a store. Mother's Day falls on a Sunday each year, which is a perfect day for thrifting. Most yard sales or flea markets thrive during the weekends. Plus these are awesome ways to find amazing stuff for next to nothing! Not to mention, you tend to meet really generous people.
7. Take her to the library. If your mom is anything like mine, she loves nothing more than a good book (except family, of course). But like I mentioned before, she has neck problems so she doesn't get out too often. Our library has a section of paperback books that you can take home for free. It's different than checking out books with for library card. These paperbacks become your's so if you don't get back to the library for, say, a few months, it's no big deal. My mom loves this because she gets to read books she hasn't read before.
Now, of course, no one knows your mom as well as you do, so you know what she likes best, but hopefully some of these suggestions will get some ideas churning for you.
Happy Mother's Day to your mom and grandma and to you, as well, if you've got children of your own!
What are some of your most successful Mother's Day gifts and ideas? Share below.
This is amazing! I LOVE all of the ideas, and I think you are brilliant!!!

On December 31st 2017 at 12pm Germany officially shutdown the Gundremmingen B boiling water reactor in Southern Germany, ending its 33 years of operation. This move comes as part of a policy to permanently wean the German power grid away from nuclear power and onto more sustainable and safe sources.
This has not always been the policy of Angela Merkel’s government. In September 2010, the German government agreed to extend the licenses of several nuclear reactors by between 8 to14 years. Maintaining Germany’s reliance on nuclear power for, at the time, about one quarter of its energy. By May 2011, this policy had been totally reversed with Merkel’s government reviving the previous government phase-out plan and declaring that Germany would be nuclear free by 2022.
Why the reversal? In March 2011, a catastrophic disaster at a nuclear power plant in Fukushima, Japan led to the release of large amounts of fallout into the air and the evacuation of 170,000 people from their homes. The contaminated area covered an estimated 8% of the Japanese landmass and a 12 mile exclusion zone was enforced. Much of this zone is still heavily contaminated and tens of thousands of people are still unable to return to their homes. In Germany, public reaction to the disaster caused opinion to shift strongly against nuclear power with large protests across the country. In the city of Stuttgart, 40,000 protesters formed a 28 mile human chain to the nuclear plant outside the city demonstrating their opposition to plans to extend the life-time of the plant. Recognising the dangers of nuclear power and the benefits of renewable energy sources, the German government created an ambitious plan to totally reverse nuclear power and provide 80% of Germany’s power through renewables.
Contrasting this, Theresa May’s government is continuing to press forward with plans to expand the Hinkley Point nuclear site with reactor C. This is a dangerous and financially irresponsible policy. So far, work at Hinkley Point C has proceeded at a glacial pace and its estimated cost has skyrocketed. Currently, Hinkley Point C is expected to cost the British energy consumer £30 billion but this number could rise. With construction not even completely underway this figure can be expected to rise even further. Even the Government’s major partner in the project, EDF energy, have demonstrated reservations. A former finance director at EDF described the project as ‘a house of cards’ and ‘very risky’. The National Audit Office drew similar conclusions calling the project a ‘risky and expensive project with uncertain strategic and economic benefits’. The financial implications of the reactor are clear; it is a dangerous and fruitless project which will cost the British consumer astounding amounts of money for little gain.
The dangers of Hinkley Point are not just fiscal however. A disaster like the one at Fukushima in 2011 could cause a large number of people to lose their homes and an unprecedented environmental disaster. The position of Hinkley Point means that a radioactive plume stemming from an accident at the plant could engulf both Cardiff and Bristol, as well as the major towns and hundreds of rural communities between them. Evacuations would be the tip of the iceberg if an accident like this occurred. Radioactive fallout, like that seen at Fukushima, could make the area uninhabitable for decades and permanently increase the risk of thyroid cancers, leukemia and solid cancers for residents returning to their homes. The ecology of the area would be devastated and crops and livestock would be contaminated. Pro-nuclear arguments have stated that the risk of an accident is low and whilst this is true, Germany, with an impeccable record of industrial safety has realised the dangers of nuclear power and committed to renewables.
2017 was the greenest on record for energy and renewable sources provide more power to the U.K than ever before. This should serve as a reminder that Hinkley Point is not the only option for the Government. Renewable energy such as Solar, Wind and Tidal have become increasingly cheaper since planning for Hinkley Point C began and safety risks are minimal.. It is still estimated that reversing Hinkley Point and investing in renewables would still cost the government less than committing to its construction and create a safer long term power source for the U.K. Britain should follow the German example and say ‘AtomKraft? Nein Danke’ ‘Atomic Energy? No thanks’.
