Philips Unveils Two New Lightweight Gaming Headsets
Mike Sanders / 2 years ago
Headsets are peripherals that are often underappreciated. However, clear sound and comfortable wear are nearly always of the utmost importance, and particularly so during long gaming sessions. Today, gaming has become so rich, complex, and immersive that the individual gaming set-up can constitute a competitive advantage. Clear and distinctive sound and a good microphone for in-game communication result in clear benefits in a team-based battle royale, action RPG, and MMORPG games. But also for work-related or private audio or video calls headsets that provide and produce clear audio and sit comfortably on a person’s head can make all the difference.
A continued focus on meeting consumers’ needs, combined with extensive technical expertise, has led to the launch of the first series of gaming headsets in the Philips Gaming portfolio. The lightweight over-ear design, adjustable headband, and soft cushions ensure an optimal fit and long-wearing comfort in two different models: Philips TAGH301BL and Philips TAGH401BL.
Philips Lightweight Gaming Headsets
Philips TAGH301BL: exciting sound and comfort in a lightweight package
The Philips TAGH301BL is an essential wired headset characterised by a unique headband construction that provides a personalised and comfortable fit. In addition to headband adjustment, it offers long-wearing comfort thanks to its soft inner cushions and its cool-feeling PU ear cups. And with a weight of just 211 grams, it’s delightfully light!
For easy and comfortable use, the headset features a 1.8 m cable with a universal 3.5 mm connector. And the easily accessible multi-function remote controller (with mute switch) and a clear-sounding microphone meet the demands of gamers and professionals alike.
The 40 mm neodymium speaker driver in each ear cup delivers audio without distortion while assuring clear sound and rich, bold bass. The closed-back design delivers great sound isolation to enjoy every detail; sound isolation is a must-have if you’re gaming in a noisy environment in order to fully concentrate on what you are doing despite distractions.
Philips TAGH401BL: immersive 3D sound meets comfort and functionality
The Philips TAGH401BL headset is a step up for gamers. The professional and well-respected Dirac HD/3D sound technology provides a dramatic sound quality upgrade with accurate spatial positioning for a natural and transparent audio experience. This feature is available for Windows PC users, who can control the 3D and HD technology directly via the remote controller after installation. These precision-balanced speakers can help in multiple games, to ensure you will never be taken by surprise by an opponent.
It weighs just 250 grams and features an adjustable headband for an optimal fit and long-wearing comfort thanks to its headband adjustment, soft cushions, and cooling-feel PU memory foam ear cups. The design features a breathing white light on each side and allows for multi-way compact folding as well.
The 2.5 m cable ends in a USB 2.0 plug for intuitive connectivity and features an inline remote controller to adjust speaker volume and mute the microphone. Through the inline control, one can also easily adjust the surround sound between Stereo, 3D, and HD. No more sudden loud cutscenes either, as the volume can be adjusted promptly with the inline control.
Price & Availability
The Philips TAGH301BL and Philips TAGH401BL will be available from August 2021 at an RRP of £32 and £51, respectively. So, in terms of cost, these do seem to represent some excellent value for money and, more so, from an exceptionally recognisable and reputable brand. Therefore, if you do want to learn more about Philips headset products, you can check out their official website via the link here!

Three months have passed since the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, promised that the presidential candidate of the party, Senator Bola Tinubu would be sanctioned over the jabs he threw at President Muhammadu Buhari.
Tinubu as the leading aspirants in the party, had in an outburst at a meeting with APC delegates in Abeokuta last June, said it was his turn to fly the party’s ticket, having facilitated the emergence of Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as president and vice president in the 2015 general election.
“If not for me that stood behind Buhari he wouldn’t have become the president. He tried the first time, he failed, the second time, he failed, the third, he failed; he even wept on national television and vowed never to contest again but I went to meet him in Kaduna and told him he will run again; I will stand by you and you will win, but you must not joke with Yorubas and he agreed,” said the former governor of Lagos State
Tinubu later issued a statement to apologise to the president but Adamu said his apology was not enough as it had not erased the impression created in the minds of many Nigerians. He expressed willingness to punish him over utterances.
“His utterances are very very insulting. It’s very very unbecoming for a person of that standing to do what he did to the sitting president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the President produced by the votes of the APC. Yesterday we saw some part of a retraction but that effort is not adequate. It is not sincere. It doesn’t wipe out the impression that that event has left in our minds,” he added.
One of the ways Adamu wanted to punish Tinubu was to impose the Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Lawan on the party. But the plot failed woefully as the former Lagos governor emerged the presidential candidate of the party to the consternation of Adamu.
Since then, having seen that he had no choice, the APC chairman has been following Tinubu everywhere like a child, and vigorously campaigning as the flagbearer of the party. Where then is the sanctions he publicly declared to impose on Tinubu?

Why P.O. Boxes Are a Landlord’s Best Friend?
As every mother on the planet is fond of saying, safety first. Tenants who don’t know where you live or work can’t show up at your home or office, wielding an axe and generally disrupting your personal or professional life. Every landlord-tenant relationship may start friendly, but a quick glance at the overloaded rent court dockets in this country show that many relationships go sour, and often in spectacularly vehement ways.
Tenants who can’t physically find you will also have a much harder time serving you with lawsuit papers. While determined attorneys can eventually track down your physical address by filing paperwork with the Postal Service, every seasoned asset protection attorney will tell you that no one’s impossible to sue, they are merely less or more difficult to sue. Asset protection is about making it as difficult and unpalatable to sue you as possible, and every barrier you can place between you and would-be litigating parasites, the better.
At a certain level of difficulty, it is simply not worth the effort of finding a landlord and their assets, especially since most landlord-tenant suits take place in small claims court.
There is also an element of anonymity that can be achieved with a P.O. box. If you give tenants your home address, and you own your own home (as the overwhelming majority of landlords do), your name is attached to the public real estate records. But perhaps your PO box is owned by a company (ideally the same company that owns the property itself)? Maybe your name is not found on the company charter that’s filed with the state or province? Perhaps your tenant knows you only by your middle name, or your nickname? You can make it difficult for tenants to figure out who and where you are.
And who’s to say that you are the owner of the company that owns the property in the first place? For all the tenant knows, you’re merely the manager of the property. (Word to the wise: smart landlords do not share with tenants that they own the property, they rather introduce themselves only as the manager.)
Some private mail services, often catering to the RV crowd, even allow you to use the private mailbox address as your legal residence. There can be restrictions in place, but for landlords who travel and want a permanent, anonymous address, perhaps in an income tax-free state such as Texas or Florida, this can be an attractive option. Mobile landlords with out-of-state mailing addresses are much, much harder to sue than stationary, visible local landlords, and can save money on taxes to boot.
With all that being said, some states (such as California and Hawaii) can be touchy about physical addresses. California law states “The owner/agent of the rental unit MUST disclose the 1. name, 2. telephone number, and 3. usual street address of whomever is accepting rental payments, repair requests, and all notices required.” Whether mailboxes with usual street addresses (which are offered by both the USPS and private mail services), that sign on your behalf for packages, are in compliance with CA and HI law is a question for attorneys to battle over in court, but landlords and managers can write out their mailbox address as “123 Sample St, #456”; a usual street address.
As with all rental-related expenses, much of the decision comes down to cost. Fortunately, P.O. boxes tend to be cheap ($60-100/year), and even private mailbox services (with mail forwarding) are often only a few hundred dollars annually. If you travel and want a residence address in a tax-free state, the mail service often costs less money than it saves in income taxes each year.
Post office boxes and private mailboxes won’t prevent every problem that landlords have, but they can certainly prevent a lot of them.

15 Suicide Belts Found During Searches of Militants in E Ghouta
The Russian Defense Ministry reported on the recent developments in the tense situation in Syria’s Eastern Ghouta.
“Last night, during the search of militants, 15 suicide belts were found and seized. Eight belts of suicide bombers were confiscated eight days ago by the Russian military police and the Syrian police. Also, 289 grenades were confiscated from leaving [E Ghouta] militants,” the report stated.
According to the Ministry of Defense’s report, 6,400 militants and their families have left the area through the humanitarian corridor from East Ghouta on Tuesday by buses.
“Since March 24, as a result of the agreements reached by senior officials of the Russian center for Syrian reconciliation with the leaders of the Failaq al-Rahman group, the Failaq al-Rahman militants continue to withdraw from the settlement of Irbin (Eastern Ghouta). On March 27, 6,432 militants and members of their families left the area through the organized humanitarian corridor and were transported by 102 buses to the province of Idlib,” the ministry’s statement read.
The ministry emphasized that throughout the route their security was provided by the Syrian police under the supervision of the officers of the Russian Reconciliation Center and representatives of the Syrian Arab Red Crescent.
The deal on the withdrawal of militants from the area was recently reached between militants and the Syrian government. After the transfer, the Syrian Army will control about 85 percent of the total territory of the initial pocket.
The transfer was launched after last month, the Syrian Army and allied ground forces launched operation Damascus Steel to liberate the East Ghouta region from hardline Islamist militants who have occupied the area since 2012. Under the deal, militants from Erbeen, Zamalka, and other areas to be transferred to the northwestern province of Idlib — one of the last remaining militant bastions in the country.

Video guide to Soltell's smart solar management App for managing distributed solar photovoltaic fleets, including overview and explanation of the App screens, as well as the meaning of presented data. The App is embedded with Soltell's performance analytics technology and can be customized for rooftop PV integrators.
The App version is specifically adjusted for commercial and institutional customers with multiple distributed solar PV facilities of various sizes. The solar management App is available with both desktop fleet display, as well as a mobile compact display. The visual layout is sorting solar PV systems into several sub-groups - intact systems (green), systems with minor issues and notifications (blue), systems with low severity warnings (purple), systems with notable warnings (yellow) and systems with alerts (red).
The SysMap platform supports parallel functionality of both App notifications and SMS messages. Thus, warnings on soiling and snow cover would be delivered to all relevant authorized O&M staffs at certain frequency until the PV system is cleared, while the App would show a warning level for this case daily. Additional enhancements in reports - the daily and monthly reports are added with real-time performance evaluation in reference to expected values of output or uptime, as required by institutional customers.
Commercial and residential solar integrators - interested to know on Sensorless technology to measure PV performance and integrating it into your solar monitoring/management software or a service application? Fill-in the demo request form to get more details.

A US interagency blueprint for commercial-scale deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) argues that challenging obstacles can be overcome, such as the lack of a national carbon price and questions over long-term liability.
However, the plan is not decisive or ambitious enough to succeed, according to the Clean Air Task Force (CATF).
In February, US President Barack Obama established an interagency task force to speed the commercial development and deployment of CCS technologies. The task force, co-chaired by the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), last week proposed a plan to overcome the barriers to the widespread, cost-effective deployment of CCS within 10 years, with a goal of bringing five to 10 commercial demonstration projects online by 2016.
CCS projects face economic challenges related to climate policy uncertainty, first-of-a-kind technology risks and the current high cost of CCS relative to other technologies, according to the report. In the electricity sector, estimates of the incremental costs of new coal-fired plants with CCS relative to new conventional coal-fired plants typically range from $60 to $95 per tonne of carbon dioxide avoided.
“Without a carbon price and appropriate financial incentives for new technologies, there is no stable framework for investment in low-carbon technologies such as CCS,” the report said.
The DOE is pursuing multiple demonstration projects using close to $4 billion in federal funds, matched by more than $7 billion in private investments. But that investment is far short of the amount needed to fully deploy CCS, according to advocacy group CATF. In comparison, the wind sector has received far greater support from the federal government, with $6 billion in tax credits in 2010 alone.
In the absence of federal legislation, the administration should require CCS on all coal and natural gas power plants under the provisions of the Clean Air Act and support a $20 billion pioneer programme through 2020 to fully commercialise CCS technology, according to CATF.
“We are disappointed that the plan does not call for decisive action on CCS, at a time when bold thinking is required to lay out a plan that will transition this country from uncontrolled greenhouse gas emissions from coal and natural gas-fired power plants to a near zero-carbon future,” said John Thompson, head of the coal transition project at CATF. “Instead of calling for requirements to drive technology and create incentives to lower the costs of low-carbon technologies, the administration has only recommended greater interagency cooperation on a patchwork of existing relatively modest incentives.
Questions over the long-term liability associated with CCS projects were also identified by the report as a key barrier to full-fledged deployment. Open-ended federal indemnification, meaning CCS firms would not be held financially responsible for potentially costly incidents such as the release of a hazardous substance during the CCS process, is not a viable option.
But the task force suggested four potential alternatives: relying on existing state and federal laws that define or allocate liability, placing limits on claims, creating an industry-financed trust fund to support CCS activities and compensate parties for losses or damages that occur after site closure, and transfer of liability to the federal government after site closure with certain contingencies. The federal agencies will continue to evaluate these options and present recommendations by late 2011.

Communicate and transfer files from and to MicroyPython boards via REPL
Transfer files via Python REPL (Read Evaluate Print Loop). This tool was developed to transfer files from and to MicroPython boards.
This is yet an other tool, there are now several similar tools but not all have the same features.
Key features of this one:
detect serial ports and MicroPython boards.
run temporary scripts.
pull get files and directories from the target filesystem.
push files and directories on the target filesystem.
mount target as filesystem (FUSE).
--interactive mode (terminal).
All of the above, and more, via the serial REPL connection to a MicroPython board.
Here is the output of python3 -m there --help:
usage: __main__.py [-h] [-p PORT] [-b BAUDRATE] [--set-rtc] [--reset-on-connect] [-c COMMAND] [-i] [--reset] [-u USER] [-w PASSWORD] [-v] [--develop] [--timeit] ACTION ... Do stuff via the MicroPython REPL optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit port settings: -p PORT, --port PORT set the serial port -b BAUDRATE, --baudrate BAUDRATE set the baud rate operations before running action: --set-rtc set the RTC to "now" before command is executed --reset-on-connect do a soft reset as first operation (main.py will not be executed) operations after running action: -c COMMAND, --command COMMAND execute given code on target --command-timeout T timeout in seconds for --command -i, --interactive drop to interactive shell at the end --reset do a soft reset on the end login: -u USER, --user USER response to login prompt -w PASSWORD, --password PASSWORD response to password prompt diagnostics: -v, --verbose show diagnostic messages, repeat for more --develop show tracebacks on errors (development of this tool) --timeit measure command run time subcommands: use "__main__.py ACTION --help" for more on each sub-command ACTION sub-command help detect help locating a board run execute file contents on target ls list files hash hash files cat print contents of one file pull file(s) to copy from target push file(s) to copy onto target rm remove files from target df Show filesystem information mount Make target files accessible via FUSE rtc Read the real time clock (RTC)
The -c option executes the given string after running all the actions. The -i option enters a miniterm session at the end of all other actions.
The tool automatically selects a USB port for communication, it may take the wrong one if multiple USB serial devices are connected. In that case, use there detect to list all devices and then -p PORT to specify the port to use on the other calls.
Use python3 -m there <action> --help to get help on sub-commands.
This tool requires Python 3.
It depends on pySerial for communication and the mount function requires fusepy. Those dependencies are automatically installed when using pip, see installation notes in documentation.

Drug abuse among teens and young adults is a growing problem and keeps them from meeting their full potential. While teens struggle with many drugs, stimulant drug addiction is among the worst. However, what is a stimulant drug? What are the dangers it could cause? Can Boise substance abuse programs help?
What Are Stimulant Drugs?
Stimulants are drugs that work on the central nervous system. In most cases, they increase cognitive function and alertness. They’re available as both prescriptions and illegal substances. No matter which type that people buy, both have the potential for abuse and addiction.
People can take stimulants in many ways. How they use the drugs depends on the type of stimulant that they choose. In general, though, they either snort, inject or swallow stimulants. Typically, snorting and injecting them increases the risk of stimulant drug addiction the most.
What Are Some Examples of Stimulant Drugs?
When it comes to prescription drugs, the most common stimulants are those that doctors prescribe for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The most popular brands are Ritalin, Adderall, and Concerta.
However, other prescription stimulants have the potential to cause addiction as well. Ephedrine is just one example. Doctors prescribe it for people who have asthma. Also, it’s useful as an appetite suppressant.
In terms of illegal substances, there are many stimulant drugs. Cocaine may be the most common and well-known one. However, addiction education teaches people that other illicit drugs, such as meth, are stimulants too.
Why Is Stimulant Drug Addiction Such a Problem Among Young Adults?
The biggest abusers of stimulant drugs are young adults. Because of that, they’re more likely to need Adderall addiction treatment. Experts believe that multiple factors contribute to this outcome.
Firstly, this prescription stimulant is fairly easy for teens and young adults to get. It’s common for them to have at least a few friends who have ADHD. In these situations, they can easily buy or steal some of those friends’ ADHD medications.
Another reason is that young adults often need the extra energy. Many of them try to balance having jobs, going to college and maintaining social lives. With only so many hours in the day, they push their bodies to the limit in order to do everything. To keep going, they take stimulants to stay awake and alert, which puts their health at risk.
Also, some people in college develop stimulant drug addiction after they use these drugs as a study aid. When it comes to all-night cram sessions, nothing keeps them focused as stimulants do. In fact, many students around campuses typically sell these drugs, including their own ADHD medications. In the end, though, students put their lives on the line when they try to cram at the last second.

Safety comes first!
Try all i want, i could not succeed in connecting the roaster to the #gas without having a #leak somewhere in the system, pretty easy to find the leak but all the normal attempts to eliminate it flopped. (For safety sake it remains absolutely essential that the system be tested leak free prior to switching on the gas!)
Consequently the commissioning of the #sonofresco could not be completed. Regulation calls for a number of the actions such as installing the gas safety gauge to be undertaken by a #competent adult. Further more you are allowed by have up to a 9kg gas cylinder in the house! In view of all of these i figured it should be ok to run with a temporary installation until such time as the shop is up and running and the roaster with vent pipes etc can be permanently installed.
Contacted the gas installation experts #Mathew&Sons today to come and take care of the leak.


Marc Suss has led Renault's Global Access Program since May 2015. He oversees the company's line of low-cost cars that are sold in Europe as Dacias and elsewhere as Renaults, as well as the Kwid (sold in India and Brazil) and Kaptur (sold in Russia, India and Brazil). Previously, he was program director for electric vehicles at Nissan, and served as chief vehicle engineer for the development of the Sandero and Logan models, and held other management positions in engineering at Renault. Suss spoke with Automotive News Europe Correspondent Peter Sigal about the future of the program and how it will adapt to a changing automotive landscape.
What is the Global Access Program?
It is Renault Group’s line of affordable cars for worldwide sales. That means Dacia for Europe and North Africa, and we are also using the Global Access Program to grow the Renault Group outside of Europe in Brazil, India, Iran, Russia and South America. There are three families of cars: The Logan/Sandero, at the center; moving up in size with the Duster/Kaptur; and moving down a size, the Kwid.
What is Renault’s formula for making low-cost cars profitable?
The first point is to have very strong design-to-cost. Normally when you produce a car, product planning says what it needs, styling says what it wants, then you send this to engineering; engineering gives a quote to the supplier, and the supplier comes back with a price. Then you take it or you leave it. We don’t work like this. We get everybody in a room and say, we would like a component and we have 50 euros to make it. What should we do to get it? It’s another way of thinking. Costs are contained, making us customer-value centric. The second point is having global scale. We produce the current Duster in Romania, Russia, Colombia, Brazil and India. If you go to a supplier and say you want 100,000 parts a year, you get one price, but if you come and say you want 500,000 parts a year, it’s not the same price.
How did you create the Renault Kaptur, with a K, for sale outside of Europe?
We used the design of the European Captur — a true B-segment [subcompact] car — but we put it on the Duster platform to make it bigger, a C-segment [compact] car. The B-segment Captur (with a C) is successful in Europe, but it’s too small for India, Russia and South America.
What new vehicles will we see in the Global Access program?
We will have a larger SUV model in the Duster/Kaptur family, and in India we will launch more cars in the Kwid family.


Once again, ESPN quite literally hit a home-run with its coverage of Michael Jordan’s career in week four of The Last Dance. Episode seven begins at the most sensitive moment in Jordan’s life, the tragic death of his father, James Jordan, in July, 1993. The coverage of the period was sensitive, but ultimately didn’t shy away from shining the light on the unsavoury speculation regarding Jordan’s role in his father’s death.
James Jordan was murdered as he slept by the roadside during a long trip in North Carolina. His death resulted in Michael Jordan’s first exit from the NBA, announcing his retirement from basketball shortly after the Bulls won the NBA Championship in 1993.
What followed was the most brutal press coverage of Jordan’s career. Crestfallen by his father’s death, Jordan was then subjected to speculation that his gambling was linked to the murder. It was then heavily speculated that Jordan’s retirement was instead a covert ban from the NBA – a rumour David Stern, the league’s commissioner at the time, dismissed out of hand.
The remainder of episode seven scrutinises Jordan’s character
Episode seven then follows Jordan’s shocking switch to baseball, a sport his father had always loved, as he sought refuge from the relentless pressure from the American media. Jordan’s mentality was clear, and The Last Dance provides fascinating insight into his character.
The remainder of the seventh episode of the series scrutinises Jordan’s character further. Was Jordan a bully? Did he take his desire to win too far? Was the NBA’s greatest player of all time a “tyrant”? It was a characterisation that Jordan rejected in a rare display of emotion, but the theory lives on.
The eighth episode charts Jordan’s return to the NBA, following his 21-month baseball hiatus. The Bulls’ loss to Orlando Magic in the 1995 Playoffs marked a turning point for the franchise, Jordan spent the summer recording Space Jam, while simultaneously training the hardest he had at any point in his career.
Such was Jordan’s powers of attraction that the best players across the NBA travelled to his private training facility to scrimmage with him. Never has the world of sport seen a figure wield such influence.
Viewers receive unparalleled insight into the Bulls dynasty
The Last Dance is so successful because it goes beyond what it could have been. The Last Dance could have easily been a shrine to Jordan’s excellence; instead, it shows both sides of Jordan’s legendary status in the Windy City.
Ahead of the 1995-96 season, Jordan was on another level in terms of his mindset – coming to blows with Steve Kerr in a pre-season training session was just an indication of his hunger to succeed. That the Kerr-Jordan fight was included in The Last Dance is testament to the series’ thoroughness. Once again, viewers receive unparalleled insight into the Bulls dynasty – and it makes for spectacular viewing.
The story of the 1995-96 campaign is well-thumbed. The Bulls were utterly dominant, and Jordan was integral to the franchise’s return to the top of the NBA. The eighth episode ends – once again – amid the rising tension of the 1998 Playoffs. This is a familiar story, but Jordan’s commentary of his own career makes for a simply fascinating watch.

I was wondering if anyone would know if it's possible to create an edge animate menu but keep it dynamic with wordpress? Basically use edge to create the base template on how the menu items will function and then populate the menu using a predefined menu in WordPress's backend.
If anyone knows of a tutorial on how to do this, or even if it's possible please let me know.
Hello, was just wondering if you ever found a solution to this issue? Would really love to know how, if you have the time.

This "new system" is very similar to the console crew system that ruined said version of world of tanks, this system retroactively makes your already trained crews less effective by removing skills you had and capping out your max skill points to 75 points.
if you have a 4 skill plus crew its xp will be converted and it will award you with 75 points these points can be spent on skills said skills give less bonuses and they themselves also have a skill cap forcing you to mix and match a bunch of garbage you did not want on your tank.
Any sixth sense commander will turn into a manager said manager will give a very minimal performance boost and it will give a crew xp bonus just for being assigned to a tank.
If you had any 4+ skill crews their performance will drop because of the 75 skill point limit and you will not be able to go past level 75 to get other skills all your skills will be unatainable and you will be forced to reset them for gold IF you want to keep the xp.
The amount of xp required to get to level 75 is even greater than ever before and the efficiency of crew books is also reduced due to the higher xp cap.
Having sixth sense trained for all of your tanks? well guess what NOW everyone gets sixth sense so the skill you worked on training is effectively deleted and that xp progress goes towards the level cap of 75 after 75 you do not get anything worth a while other than a stupid medal and a percentage of a percentage bonus to mobility ie 0.10 traverse speed every couple millions of xp yes MILLIONS
But sixth sense should be a skill by default
yeah but do we really have to make the rest of the game grindy and take away everyone elses progress and skills to have a shitty 75 level perk cap before IF you wanted to level cap your tank and have a insane 8+ skill crew you could and any extra xp would just be left on reserve and you could retrain your crew for free and it would take from that xp pool and make them 100% with out having to spend a additional credit or gold.
Have 350+ tanks all with their 4+ skill crews because you are a dedicated player a streamer a youtuber or someone who is active in clanwars?
Well too bad a majority of those crews are now useless, Wargaming has effectively made it so that you can have said crew remember up to 3 tanks while this is a good thing you gotta remember a few things reaching level 75 will be much more grind y than getting a 4 skill crew 3 times in a row you will also lose on tank performance since you cannot have every skill in the game anymore, Additionally IF you have all these crews that can now remember and swap to up to 3 tanks then the vast majority of the crews you have are here by useless to you.
Yes two thirds of your crew will not be completely useless to you and all that XP will just be deleted since there is no need for having a single crew for a single tank anymore what else can you do if not let them rot in the barracks or dismiss them.
Barracks are gonna be gone so if you have more crew than you do tank slots you will be forced to delete allot of crew IF you decided to store crew with bunk barracks slots, you will be given shitty crew retraining consumables for your permanent slots AND if you do not have enough garage slots (Dormitories) by the time the conversion happens you will have to start deleting all of your crew (commanders) that do not have a dormitory.
here is another crews will be able to remember up to 3 tanks lets look at this from the perspective of world of tanks most common player the Free to Play player
From tier 1 to tier 3 your crew will be able to remember said tanks problem is that said crew will NEVER actually reach the 15 in xp to be able to remember how to play the tier 1 tank and the tier 2 tank unless you pay gold to to unlock the slot your best bet is simply to start over from scratch and forget about the tier 1 tank.
The same is true for the tier 2 3 4 5 tanks you will constantly be retraining your crews and unless you pay gold to get slots to actually remember said tanks you will waste allot of credits and xp if you simply ignore paying to remember.
what a waste really inefficient to do this well what ever now you got to tier 5 here you can actually spend enough time in the game to get to the first slot at tier 6, NO you don't you ground out your tier 6 and now you can either again pay gold or just transfer the crew over and retrain the crew since you only have 1 slot for being under level 15.
Too bad you can reset for 500,000 credits to send your level 8 crew and lose 10% of its skills or you can just start a fresh crew for the tier 6 and keep your current crew on the tier 5 you are probably gonna have to sell to afford the new tank.
Not to mention that after tier 5 class 2 modules cost 300k, now you have to choose between paying gold to keep your progression or just reseting for a ludicrous amount of silver while loosing allot of crew xp progression.
Let me put into perspective how much 500,000 credits is compared to the current crew reset mechanic
In the new system retraining a crew is 500,000 Credits you then lose 10% of the skill xp and IF you want to reset the skills this will cost you a additional 500,000 credits and a extra 10% loss to your crew skills.
In contrast the current system let say you have a tank with 6 crew members each crew member costs 20,000 credits per crew member to train them to a new tank you will effectively spend 120,000 credits any xp not selected from skills will be used to put the crew member from 90% to 100% while keeping your skill load out at a 10% crew xp loss.
The amount of credits needed to transfer crews that do not have level 15 is astronomically high
a free to play player will have to spend allot of time grinding the crew to tier 15 when they were already done with the next tanks research if they don't want to dismiss the old crew for a new one
They will have to spend allot of credits and time grinding said credits just to pay the 500,000 credit cost to retrain their current crew to the next tier if they themselves aren't at level 15
Wargamings paid option of 750 gold for one tank slot and 1500 gold for the second slot makes it so that the payer does NOT have to pay the 500,000 credits per crew retraining.
This effect affects both low tier and higher tier vehicles and now that xp is more directly tied to levels and each level is tied to skill points reseting for silver will in effect bankrupt the player if the next tank in the line does not benefit from the current skill point load out.
This is the part were WG introduces their new consumables that offer free skill reseting these will at first seem plentiful just like demounting kits did at first but once they trade in your permanent barrack slots for these usable consumables you will eventually run out of them and the only option you will be left with is spending 500,000 credits.
a established player will have to manually do said reset and select new skills losing out on his progression and not every tank in the game can benefit from the same crew skills.
Training new crews will be a much more grindy thing thing to do and the effect it will have on tank performance will be reduced that unless you pay for progression and there are quite the few things they have done.
old 0 skill crews will be turned into instructors said instructors you paid for from marathon tanks special even tanks like the Sabaton crew will no longer give you a 0 skill crew they are doing away with crew, the way instructors work now is they give you a crew xp bonus for having them in your tank wetter or not instructors are stuck in the tank you assign them to is yet to be revealed but if each instructor gives a xp bonus what makes you think that the total xp to progress wont be increased.
each instructor gives small pre selected bonuses and it really gives the same vibe that the rubicon update did (certain emblems camo and customization elements gave extra tank bonuses)
These instructors cannot be attained in the same amount as a paid payer so the game will become more pay to win.
already a established payer want to perform better but don't have enough instructors? well too bad those who paid will now have better performing crews than you since your crews that you trained all the skills for will have said skills taken from them and the tanks performance will be dictated by a arbitrary 75 skill cap and its impossible to get all the skills in the game like you achieved in the past.
Any Extra xp from your crew skills goes towards a shitty medal you can equip and a very minor mobility performance boost for millions of xp.
Training crew/retraining crew is now 500,000 and the xp required to reach level 75 is much higher it is also impossible to have all the skills trained and any crew with 4+ skills will lose the ability to have the same performance as before, instructors are Pay to Win and new consumables are being added
Wot console and World of Warships had their crews changed and it only benefits wargamings pocket since its grindier and fucks over people who already spent time in the game along with future newer players

ARCTEC Receives $75.8M in Radar Support Contracts
ARCTEC Services in Colorado Springs, CO recently received two radar support contract modifications from the US military. One covers the ballistic missile early warning and space tracking radars, while the other covers the Alaska Radar System.
The $42.5 million fixed-priced incentive contract modification funds option year 6 (FY 2006: Oct 1, 2005 – Sept 30, 2006) to manage, operate, maintain, and logistically support the solid state phase array radar systems at Clear Air Force Station, AK; Beale Air Force Base, CA; Cape Cod Air Force Station, MA; Thule Air Base, Greenland; and Royal Air Force Fylingdales, UK. Clear AFS, Thule, and Fylingdales are all part of the BMEWS (Ballistic Missile Early Warning System), while Cape Cod AFS and Beale AFB are part of a related effort called PAVE PAWS that uses similar massive Solid-State Phased-Array Radar Systems (SSPARS).
Work will be complete by September 2006. The 21st Space Wing, Peterson Air Force Base Colo. issued the contract (F05604-99-C-9005/P00460).
Meanwhile, ARCTEC Alaska at Elmendorf Air Force Base, AK received a $33.3 million firm-fixed-price contract modification to provide for twelve months of operation and maintenance for the Alaska Radar System’s 17 remote radar sites (primarily AN/FPS-117 SEEK IGLOO and AN/FPS-124 SEEK FROST radars), which serves aviaton needs and act as the North Warning System for the USA. The Pacific Air Forces at Elmendorf Air Force Base, AK issued the contract (FA5000-04-C-0011/ P00025)


Cyclist is a vulnerable element in urban traffic. We wondered: What does cyclist need in cities? First of all, being safer, being clearly visible.
Our solution is BXTAR, a smart device that thanks to its integrated system of rear light, side lights and smartphone app, makes the cyclist clearly visible especially in critical situations like poor visibility, braking or crossing a juncion.
BXTAR produces a beam light wider than 270° making the cyclist clearly visible for those who meet and cross him in the street.
The integrated accelerometer can recognize the braking and make it clear with a more intense red light. The brightness sensor allows BXTAR to automatically adapt to the changing condition of light during the day. In addition, it reacts to cars lights with a more intense and frequent flashlight.
The most important feature of BXTAR is its capability to connect to smartphone via bluetooth, and thanks to the app to use side lights in an unique way. In fact, BXTAR can read the itinerary and anticipate intersections signaling the cyclist with more intense side flash lights.

It’s a growing daily risk to life and limb.
We urge our public officials and the police to crack down on speeding in order to protect law-abiding citizens. Our streets have become far too dangerous.
Last month, the Advance monitored traffic passing overhead digital speed boards at five spots on the North, East and West shores. Well more than half of the motorists (98 of 106 drivers) were going over 35 mph in broad daylight
The top speed observed during the survey was 51 mph on Victory Boulevard in Travis.
Among the speeders were both men and women and young and old drivers. Included were commercial trucks and vans, and even an Access-A-Ride vehicle.
Earlier this year, the Advance documented what we found to be a “culture of aggression” by Island motorists. Stuck behind a car deliberately driven at the speed limit, motorists in a hurry resorted to honking horns, changing lanes and speeding by - often making their frustrations known with shouts and gestures.
“Just about every day on every street on Staten Island we have people speeding,” said City Councilman James Oddo about the danger.
The fact is, speed kills. As Transportation Alternatives, an advocate for safer streets, points out: “Hit someone at 30 mph, there is an 80 percent chance they will live. Hit someone at 40 mph, there is a 70 percent chance they will die.”
What is the city doing to limit speeding here?
The Department of Transportation is bringing to Staten Island its Neighborhood Slow Zone program. In some designated areas, the speed limit will be set at 20 mph. Signs are being posted and speed bumps are being deployed.
“Our neighborhoods are where New Yorkers live, where they go to school, where they play and where they pray,” DOT Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan said. “Our residential streets need to be drawn to this human scale, and by simply reducing the speed of passing cars by 10 miles per hour, we can save lives as we make the streets people walk along more inviting.”
We hope this does some good.
But motorists regularly violate the 30 mph limit.
What’s urgently needed on our streets is a stepped up effort by the Police Department to ticket speeders.
For the first eight months of this year, 6,932 speeding summonses were issued on Staten Island, written by the three precincts and all other NYPD units in the borough, according to Police Department officials.
That an average of less than 30 a day.
In New York City, most speeding-related deaths happen on neighborhood streets. Yet 79 percent of the speeding tickets issued by the NYPD in 2011 were written by the Highway Unit, not by precinct-level cops.
If the Advance can easily monitor reckless drivers zooming at high speeds past warning signs on residential streets, so can the police.
We call on the NYPD’s Borough Command on Staten Island to do more to stop the speeders in our midst.

Wausau Events gives $15,000 to 8 local groups
WAUSAU - As Wausau Events brings the community together for events throughout the year, other local nonprofits lend a hand. With gratitude for that support, Wausau Events has given more than $15,000 to eight organizations this year.
Donation recipients are Blessings in a Backpack, Habitat for Humanity, Southeast Side Neighborhood Airport Park, the Center for the Visual Arts, three Boy Scout troops and the Wausau Children’s Museum. Each organization has made a significant impact this year on the events Wausau Events administers.
“We are forever grateful for the organizations’ willingness to participate in our events. Whether it be picking up trash to working the soda stand to providing free activities for event-goers, the nonprofit groups are always willing to lend a hand to help us create the best events for the community. This is a 'thank you' from Wausau Events to the organizations for their contributions this year,” said Lindsey Lewitzke, executive director of Wausau Events.
Wausau Events also has hosted benefit drives. Concerts on the Square had a food drive for Blessings in a Backpack, a Share Your Holidays drive and a Firefighters MDA drive. Harvest Fest held a food drive for The Neighbors' Place. The Wausau Holiday Parade “best of” float winners each designated their $100 prize from Wausau Events toward a charity. Basic Dog designated its award to New Life Pet Adoption Center, Rod’s Towing to Paws Enforcing Laws and Handcrafted Furniture to Stable Hands.
Wausau Events’ mission is to create community through events. By giving back to fellow nonprofits, Wausau Events' reach has multiplied in the community. The organizations that received funds from Wausau Events are now able to continue working toward their missions, thus enhancing quality of life in the community.
The $15,000 distributed to the organizations is the largest sum Wausau Events has given out in a single year. Nonprofits that are interested in partnering with Wausau Events are asked to call the office at 715-297-9531 or visit www.wausauevents.org.

ZeeheldenKwartier is gradually becoming increasingly busy
Due to new building and the splitting of houses, the population of ZeeheldenKwartier increases by hundreds each year. People live ever more closer to each other, which causes the quality of lives to come under pressure. According to Ludo Geukers of the residents’ organisation De Groene Eland, the neighbourhood is not equipped for so many inhabitants.
Behind the monument at the Van der Spiegelstraat 12, a new apartment block will be built with possibly a few dozen apartments will be built. When asked by an editor of the ZeeheldenNieuws, the architect of the project, Bureau Kroner Architecture, confirmed this. It was already known that 60 new apartments are planned on the Prins Hendrikstraat and 13 houses on the Crispijnstraat. Moreover, a renovation plan is being developed to realise 10 apartments at the beginning of the Elandstraat and the Piet Heinstraat.
Most densely populated city
This is just a selection of all the planned new housing in the neighbourhood. Each year, dozens or even hundreds of houses are added to the ZeeheldenKwartier. In 2016, as many as 206 were added, among which the 153 new houses in the apartment block at the Kortenaerkade. The other 53 houses were generated due to splitting up houses and because offices or shop premises were converted into housing. At this moment, 85 percent of the housing in our neighbourhood consists of apartments.
Due to all these developments, the number of inhabitants of the ZeeheldenKwartier is growing. In 2016, the population increased by 326 to 11,518 inhabitants. With more than 6,400 people per square kilometre, Den Haag has become the most densely populated city in our country. With our 13,810 people per square kilometre, the ZeeheldenKwartier is twice as densely populated as the average of our city. The municipal council expects that our neighbourhood will keep growing and will have about 12,000 inhabitants in 2018.
But that’s not all. According to the municipal council of Den Haag, the city has to grow in the coming 25 years by between 50,000 and 80,000 inhabitants. In October last year, the municipality presented the plan ‘Agenda Room for the City’ to make this growth possible. The magic word in this plan is ‘densification’, densification of the existing neighbourhoods so that a ‘compact city’ will be created. Therefore, the municipality focuses in particular on ‘students, starters, expats, urban families and the entrepreneurial middle class. ’Consequently, the process of more apartments and more densification will continue, as far as the municipal council is concerned.
Residents’ organisation De Groene Eland is very unhappy about this development and thinks that making the districts even more compact is not a good idea. “If a lot of people want to live in the city, the city just has to become bigger”, says chairman Ludo Geukers. Geukers cannot find any coherence in the plans of the municipality. “By now, the parking pressure has become so high that the catering establishments are not allowed to place terraces anymore, whereas on the other hand the 200 parking places in the adjacent Zeehelden Garage are allowed to be demolished to make room for 60 new student residences. The municipality suggests making more use of public transport, and then they mention the possibility of discontinuing the tram route from the neighbourhood.” Geukers thinks that the municipality does not take the interests of the inhabitants seriously when making new plans. “The municipality consults with the project developers about the plans, and the inhabitants and entrepreneurs are only involved when the deal is done. But this happens to be our neighbourhood and not the one of the municipal official or the project developer.” Geukers is very worried, because he thinks that this rapid increase of residents puts a lot of pressure on the liveability. The public space is becoming increasingly crowded, there is too little green space and the facilities for parking, cycling and public transport are not properly equipped.
The responsible alderman Wijsmuller (Haagse Stadspartij) claimed that he was too busy to be able to respond to the questions of the ZeeheldenNieuws. The plan ‘Agenda Room for the City’ was adopted by the municipal council on October 2016 on the proposal of Wijsmuller. About 2000 to 2500 houses have to be added to the city per year, of which a part will be realized in the ZeeheldenKwartier. To create room for housing, the alderman wants to ‘organize the traffic, the parking and the bicycle sheds increasingly underground’.
The ZeeheldenNieuws will keep you informed about any further developments.

Wow! What A comeback For Stefan!
Back in January when Stefan had his surgery we were not too hopeful. He really looked like he was dead. Now he's growing again, looking very healthy, if a bit strange.
Son of Stefan is looking pretty great too although he is not quite as green and gorgeous as Dad. A second cutting now lives with Amy. The remaining two have been stuck in the top of an aged compost pile. Ed just didn't have the heart to toss them just yet.
We started the day outside in the garden. Ed was working on the shade garden. I harvested the spinach and pulled a few weeds before the rain started again. Now we are inside watching the birds look for lunch in the garden. The bluebirds love a short lawn and a rainy day!

About: Walter Whitehead was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1874, where he studied at the Art Institute of Chicago before joining the Howard Pyle School of Art and Pyle's Chadds Ford summer school in 1901-02. He later returned to Chicago and eventually taught at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. Whitehead produced magazine covers, war posters, and advertisements. Around the turn of the 20th century, editors favored historical figures-real and imaginary-on popular magazine covers in order to engender a sense of nationalism in their far-flung readers across the country.

How to Edit Master Slides in Google Slides
Twice in the last week I’ve received questions from readers about Google Slides. In both cases the questions were related to using fonts and color schemes without having to manually change them for every new slide added to a presentation. The solution in both cases was to change the master slides in the presentation. Editing the master slides in a presentation allows you to essentially set a default font style, font size, and font color for your presentation slides. Additionally, you can choose background color(s) scheme and add icons that you want to have inserted every time you add a new slide to your presentation.
How to edit the master slides and re-use them in your Google Slides presentations is demonstrated in this short video.

Our bodies coexist with trillions of microorganisms that make up the commensal microbiota. Recent research has shown that these microorganisms play a crucial role in maintaining our overall health and preventing the onset of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). NCDs such as diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease have become a formidable global health challenge, and understanding the relationship between the commensal microbiota and NCDs could provide new avenues for prevention and treatment. In this article, we delve into the fascinating world of commensal microbiota and explore how they impact NCDs.
Agricultural biodiversity is the foundation of food security. As our world becomes more populated, we need a variety of crops to ensure that we're able to feed everyone. However, many of our food crops are vulnerable to disease, pests, and climate change. By cultivating a diverse range of crops, we can ensure that we'll always have something to fall back on if one crop fails. It's time to start investing in agricultural biodiversity and secure our future food supply.
The interconnectedness of agricultural production, land use, ecosystem services and human health cannot be overlooked. As we continue to transform land for agricultural use, we must prioritize the preservation and enhancement of ecosystem services that support the health of both the environment and humans.
The interconnectedness of food production, food security, and human health cannot be overstated. As we navigate a rapidly changing world, it is crucial that we prioritize sustainable, equitable, and nutritious food systems to promote the well-being of both individuals and the planet.
As the foundation of life on Earth, biodiversity has a direct impact on the nutritional content of the food we consume. From soil health to crop diversity, the state of our ecosystems directly affects the composition of our diets. In turn, our dietary choices can either support or undermine the health of the natural world. As we strive to nourish ourselves, we must also steward the Earth's precious resources.
Diversity in our food systems may just be the answer to our nutrition woes. As humans, we thrive on a variety of nutrients, but traditional industrial agriculture often strips our food of this diversity. In contrast, diverse food systems can offer more nutritious options and a better chance to maintain our health.
Wild foods, once the mainstay of our ancestors, have been sidelined in our modern diets. But recent research indicates that they could offer valuable nutrition benefits - possibly even unlocking secrets to longevity and disease prevention that conventional foods cannot. Here's a closer look at the health potential of wild foods, and how we might incorporate them back into our diets.
The relationship between biodiversity and traditional food systems is more critical than ever. As the world population grows and food production becomes more industrialized, we risk losing traditional food cultures and the biodiversity that supports them. By preserving our agricultural diversity, we can support healthy ecosystems and unique culinary traditions.
As we transition towards a more Westernized diet, the loss of biodiversity in our food systems could have significant impacts on our health. A diverse diet promotes gut microbiome diversity, which is crucial for maintaining our overall well-being. Let's not forget about the many cultural and ecological benefits of preserving biodiversity in our food systems.
As urbanization continues to grow, it is vital that we prioritize biodiversity in agriculture to ensure optimal nutrition. Fostering sustainable farming methods that protect ecosystems will lessen the negative effects of urban expansion on agricultural land.

On this 1995 album, he found that the true meaning of Christmas was cool jazz instrumentals. At age 70, he no longer needed to prove his virtuosity; instead, he plays with a light touch and leads a swinging six-piece band. Remade by Thomas, the song becomes a beautiful invocation of holiday spirit. Subtext: if she can feel that much love for the Chipmunks, surely you can do the same for your fellow man? The rest of the album is just as charming and heartfelt.

A swearing-in ceremony for SF's new police chief Monday at the City Hall rotunda was interrupted briefly by a small group of protesters affiliated with the Frisco Five the hunger strikers who led the charge last spring in calling for the resignation of former chief Greg Suhr. Newly hired chief Bill Scott comes to the department from the LAPD, and as ABC 7 reports, several of his LA colleagues were on hand to congratulate him on his first official day on the job here, including LAPD Chief Charlie Beck.
It's unclear whether the protesters were specifically there to protest Scott's hiring by Mayor Lee, or just the police department in general. Seven individuals were detained briefly on Monday and cited for trespassing and disturbing the peace, including local rapper and frequent mayoral heckler Equipto, whose real name is Illyich Sato. 48 Hills says that Sato was "roughed up" in the process, but did not require medical attention. Three protesters standing outside City Hall after Sato's arrest, including Sato's mother and Frisco Five leader Maria Christina Gutierrez, held signs saying "Jail Killer Cops" and "Mario is our son," referring to Mario Woods.
As KQED puts it, "The demonstrators were quickly removed from the highly choreographed swearing-in ceremony beneath the City Hall rotunda Monday, but their message to William Scott was nonetheless delivered: Welcome to San Francisco you have your work cut out for you."
Scott has pledged to be a "good listener," to be "transparent and accountable to you the community," and to "deal with community violence and understand the complexities of serving the mentally ill and homeless."
During his speech at Monday's swearing in he addressed the fact that he arrives to the department as an outsider. Speaking to officers in the rank and file, he said, "I accepted this position knowing that your respect and trust in me as your chief is not simply granted by the virtue of this appointment. It has to be earned, and I fully intend to earn your respect." But he then added, "In turn, what I expect of every member of this department, both sworn and not sworn, is to respect the sanctity of human life, to police this city in a constitutional manner... and to treat each other and the public with the utmost dignity and respect."
Scott has spent 27 years on the force in LA, helping see that department through "the turbulence of the '90s," as LAPD Chief Beck told ABC 7. And Suhr spoke to KQED saying, "This is a veteran police officer that handled a very tough area in Los Angeles, and yet he has this very quiet, calm, humble, genuine, gracious persona. Roll it all up, and that’s going to make for a great chief who does have a very hard job in the greatest city in the world."
We have not heard much from Suhr in eight months since his resignation, though two weeks ago he appeared in the news after taking a security consulting gig with the Golden State Warriors. The announcement drew some immediate community backlash, and within a day KRON 4 was reporting that Suhr and the team had mutually parted ways.
Below, an interview Scott did with ABC 7's Carolyn Tyler, and he says that coming from the outside "I felt I was a good fit [and] there's not many cities that I was willing to leave the comfort and satisfaction of Los Angeles to do this [and] this was it."


After a 22-0, lopsided win over Gainesville last time out, Forsyth Central nearly matched the dominant performance in a 21-0 drubbing of Johns Creek in three innings Monday in Fulton County.
The Bulldogs, who have won six straight games, jumped out with an 11-run top of the first inning. They pushed across seven more runs in the second and three in the third to complete the thorough run-rule win.
Taylor Jackson paced the Forsyth Central offense, finishing 3-for-3 with three runs scored and four RBIs. Avery Clemons went 2-for-3 with three runs scored and two runs driven in.
Emma Pirkle, Ava Metz and Avery Barden each wound up 2-for-2. Pirkle had two doubles and two RBIs. Metz posted one double and two ribbies. Barden scored twice and drove in a run.
Caroline Heard doubled and racked up three RBIs for the Bulldogs (7-3), who didn't allow a hit for the second consecutive contest.

After that bohemian look for the imminent (we hope) summer heatwave? Look no further than these eight pieces
Here’s how to achieve a nonchalant boho vibe, quicker than you can say #TezzaPresets.
If you’re not familiar with the latter term, allow me to acquaint you. Conceptualised by the mega-watt influencer who goes by the same name, the Tezza app offers a variety of Lightroom filters allowing you to instantly add a bohemian flair to your feed.
In fact, you’ve probably noticed the number of mere mortals on Instagram with influencer-worthy feeds of vintage-style wanderlust imagery. Reader… it’s most likely the Tezza presets.
Now that you know how to fake it ’til you make it, all that remains is to tackle the wardrobe. As it’s Sustainability Month here at IMAGE, we’re not suggesting you go out and shop up a storm on FreePeople.com. Instead, take inspiration from what’s most likely stashed in the back of your own closet from vacations gone by.
One easy way to spot the basic boho b*tch (sorry) is by casting an eye over her adorned ankles. This season, the reigning aesthetic is shells, shells and more shells — judging by their prevalence on limbs all over Instagram anyway.
After all, there’s no better arm candy for nailing the French-girl-meets-milk maid-who-shops-at-Reformation look we’ve become so accustomed to.
In an ideal world, it would be plucked from Oscar de la Renta’s Spring Summer offering, but most likely it’s from a market stall on some beachside promenade in Europe.
PS: If you don’t have your own, ask your mum or aunties: sarongs were arguably more popular in previous decades.
Remember the famous Coco Chanel quote that you should take off one accessory before leaving the house? Yeah, the boho tribe do not subscribe to that school of thought. Even if you think your outfit is complete, add a straw hat for the sheer fun of it.
When it comes to boho style, minimalism is not the aim of the game. With necklaces, stack ’em whatever way you want. Bonus points for a mix-and-match medley of vintage pendants, high street trinkets and treasures sourced from your travels.
For when the barefoot boho belle inevitably has to return to the real world.
A white crochet dress or skirt
Is there anything the ultimate summer boho frock can’t do? Well, surely it won’t undo your mojito hangover or ease your sunburn, but it will quickly become the most reliable element of your outfit repertoire. For an unexpected twist, pair a crochet skirt with a vintage band tee or a slim-fitting denim shirt – or style a crochet dress with a black leather jacket or combat boots.
Large silk scarf
Meet your wardrobe MVP: a decent-sized square scarf, which can be used a multitude of ways. Get crafty and fashion it into a slinky bra top as shown below (this tutorial makes it look like a doddle) or use it as a headband, a bandana, a neckerchief or an accessory for your handbag.

Gastown Steam Clock Crane Hoist
Gastown Steam Clock Crane Hoist – Vancouver
On Tuesday, January 20th, 2015, Eagle West Crane & Rigging, a division of TNT Crane & Rigging Canada, successfully hoisted the iconic Gastown Steam Clock back into it’s originally position with one of our folding boom cranes. The City of Vancouver hired Eagle West to remove the steam clock with a folding boom crane, so they could perform major repairs to the clock. Once the repairs were completed, we were able to return the freshly restored landmark back to it’s regular position in the centre of Gastown. Eagle West is proud to be trusted by the City of Vancouver to crane a piece of its history in one of Vancouver’s oldest neighbourhoods.
See a video on The Province’s website: Return of Gastown’s Steam Clock.

"Its only a little bit on fire"


Wealthfront automated funding service agency has introduced that it has added two cryptocurrency trusts to its number of funds.
The robo-adviser, which has $21.5 billion in property underneath administration, added the Grayscale Bitcoin Belief and Grayscale Ethereum Belief to its menu of accessible investments, a listing which additionally features a handful of Dimensional Fund Advisors’ (DFA) new EFTs, quite a lot of ARK Make investments’s actively-managed funds, and Wealthfront’s personal Threat Parity fund.
Wealthfront prospects will have the ability to allocate as much as 10% of their whole portfolio to the 2 trusts, with cryptocurrency’s volatility talked about as the explanation for the restriction.
The trusts present “oblique publicity to cryptocurrency”, and prospects opting to purchase models of the trusts wouldn’t have the ability to allocate greater than 10% of their portfolio. “We restrict your allocation to [the crypto trusts] as a result of, as a fiduciary, we act in your finest pursuits always, and these investments might be riskier and extra unstable than most ETFs,” Wealthfront said.
The transfer made by Wealthfront makes it the primary main robo-adviser within the US to supply its shoppers with cryptocurrency exposures. The brand new funding choices have made it straightforward for shoppers to get publicity to Bitcoin and Ethereum proper of their Wealthfront portfolio, no wallets required.
Nonetheless, these crypto trusts come at a price. Whereas a number of of the brand new funds that Wealthfront gives are eligible for the tax-loss harvesting, that’s not the case with digital asset trusts. Moreover, Wealthfront said that traders wouldn’t have the ability to borrow in opposition to their cryptocurrencies for a mortgage through the robo’s portfolio line of credit score.
Crypto Adjustments Fortunes of Mainstream Companies
The announcement by Wealthfront comes at a time when a rising variety of fund managers and wealth administration companies are embracing the crypto market to faucet a brand new consumer base and seize a supply of recent income.
In April this yr, Wealthfront asset administration agency introduced that it was inspecting choices to allow its shoppers so as to add crypto property to their funding portfolios. Subsequently, the US asset supervisor has carried out what it introduced previously because it has now begun permitting its prospects to put money into cryptocurrencies.
The event is the newest indication of accelerating acceptance of crypto property by mainstream finance.
In March, Morgan Stanley grew to become the primary main US financial institution to supply its rich shoppers entry to Bitcoin funds. Final month, JPMorgan Chase & Co began permitting all of its wealth administration shoppers to entry cryptocurrency funds. In Might, Wells Fargo started providing cryptocurrency publicity to its rich shoppers.

“….It’s encouraging to learn there were anywhere from 500 to 800 people at the joint legislative hearing in Eau Claire, WI, on allowing sales of raw milk from the farm. Nearly 200 people signed up to testify.
As Wayne Craig reports in a comment on my previous post, the big question is whether the legislation will come up for a vote, or whether the regulators and special interests will succeed in delaying a vote. (The Farm Bureau’s representative in his testimony requested that the legislature put off voting on the bill—a sign Farm Bureau is worried that there is strong support for the legislation.)
I spent yesterday in Washington, along with dozens of other food rights proponents, lobbying legislators on the food safety legislation pending in the U.S. Senate (S 510 and HR 2749), as part of a Food Rights Lobbying Day sponsored by the National Independent Consumers and Farmers Association (NICFA). At the end of the day, everyone gathered, along with several senators and their aides, for a lively reception. It was replete with wonderful food, including a stuffed pig from Joel Salatin (who served as emcee for the event), beef, lamb, and chicken from area farms…plus all the raw milk and raw milk ice cream you could consume. The main speaker was (former presidential candidate) Rep. Ron Paul, who declared, “When you have the right to drink raw milk and raise kemp, you’ll know we’re making progress.”
My meetings with congressional aides were pleasant, but difficult to assess. This seemed a fairly common reaction among other citizen lobbyists. Maybe the most encouraging thing about the aides I met was that they seemed genuinely interested in what I had to say. Most discouraging was that the aides seemed not to know very much about key problems in the food safety legislation—the absence of significant exemptions for the smallest food producers and farms, the huge financial burden imposed by the requirement for HACCP (hazard analysis critical control point) plans, and the imposition of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) standards on farmers. …”
