If you wish to go beyond traditional investment instruments, consider flipping digital products. It's a surprisingly profitable practice, and it's gaining traction in tandem with the widespread use of the internet.
Platforms like Flippa make it easy to buy and sell digital products.
Table of Contents
As tech and digital firms continue to innovate and develop, digital real estate continues to become even more valuable—and lucrative.
Similar to flipping houses in real estate, one can buy a website or other digital assets at a low price. After fixing and improving the asset, you can then sell it at a profit.
No matter where you are in your flipping journey — whether you’re a casual onlooker, a fund manager, or a beginner investor — this quick guide will help you grasp the basics of how to flip a digital product.
But first, let’s take a closer look at these online investment tools and where you can find them.
What Are Digital Products?
Simply speaking, digital products (also known as digital assets) are online platforms or entities that an individual or company owns. Any digital product with a regular audience has the potential to be monetized. Given the almost unlimited reach of the internet, these assets show great growth potential.
Think of them as the real estate of the online world. Like real estate, digital assets can be taken over, restructured, and resold at higher prices.
Some investors keep multiple assets and maximize their profits through monetization efforts like ads, affiliate marketing, and the like.
Let’s look at the various types of digital assets that are flipped for profit.
Websites are a top choice for flipping because they can be monetized in several ways. These include:
One such example is Ariana Huffington’s blog, The Huffington Post. Established in 2005, it features lifestyle and political content written from a liberal point of view. Since its inception, The Huffington Post has attracted a large audience, thanks to ads and other means of monetization.
In 2011, the New York-based web giant AOL purchased Huffington’s blog for $315 million while allowing her to remain as Editor in Chief. That’s an impressive return on investment within six years.
2. Domain Names
Domain names or website URLs are also a common type of digital asset. Not only do they increase in value over time, but there’s also a limited number available at any given time.
Any digital marketing effort hinges on a well-chosen domain name. A catchy and memorable URL gives businesses incredible brand recall and helps them stand out from the competition.
The best part? Domain names (website URLs) become more valuable as they age and gain site visitors' trust. The most expensive domain name ever sold was Cars.com, which was purchased at an astonishing $872 million.
For more information about flipping domain names specifically, check out: "How to Make Money Flipping Domain Names."
3. Mobile Apps
Mobile apps are also a type of digital asset that can be flipped. However, since they are harder to develop and market, apps are not as widely flipped as websites.
Some notable examples of flipped apps are:
Navigation app Waze was caught in a bidding war between Facebook, Google, and Apple. It was eventually sold to Google for $1.3 billion.
Text condenser app Trimmit, later rebranded as Summly, was developed by then 15-year-old Nick D’Aloisio. A billionaire investor saw its potential and invested $300,000 in the app, which Yahoo later acquired for $30 million.
Usually, it is the developers of the apps themselves who sell their creations for huge sums. A developer may be an individual, a group of people, or even a tech company.
4. Digital Products
Investors may also acquire digital products and information resources like subscription-based or membership programs. An investor can earn a lot from an existing training program that already has a large number of subscribers.
People also invest in digital and info products that have great potential but require small improvements. These include video courses, training programs, and membership programs. Afterward, these products are rebranded to highlight the enhanced content and features.
A good example of this is the Authority SEO course that RankXL first created. This course was later acquired by Alpha Investors for an undisclosed amount and was relaunched as Authority SEO 2.0.
Since the original course was popular in the SEO community, Alpha Investors saw the opportunity to grow it even further. They added new modules and refreshed content before relaunching it. This is a classic example of asset flipping.

Who wouldn't enjoy strolling down to the beach or pool every morning, sipping piña coladas from a freshly harvested coconut and lazing for hours in the sun with a new love? Others struggle to survive once transposed from Banjul to Birmingham. Denise Hardwick was just one woman among many who found her love did not last.
The word actually means "like" but very often they are mistranslated by local people who think it means "I love you", but actually it means "I like you".
To make your life easier, do not take it personally when men insist so much.
Gambian women, even when they are very interested, will always start by declining your amorous advances both to test the pretender's determination, and to show that they are not an easy prey.
Humour is used in many situations in Gambia, and it can be a very effective tool to communicate difficult messages without insulting people.
Contraceptives are used among some young girls to prevent pregnancy, but again it is used more in the urban than rural areas due to illiteracy, poverty and lack of accessibility.
However, other relationships may be platonic; this may be co-workers, neighbours etc, who are friends and may visit each other quite often, although this sometimes may result in a physical relationship.

1M1B helps in creation of jobs, builds conscious enterprises and undertakes income enhancement initiatives for indigenous and under-served communities by engaging urban leaders and startups.
Nearly three years back, Manav Subodh bid farewell to his job at Intel as Global Manager, Entrepreneurship and Corporate Affairs, to work on his idea, with a mission '” empowering a million youth who would impact a billion more for balanced economic prosperity.
In 2015, as a Senior Fellow, Entrepreneurship at the Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley, Manav became convinced that entrepreneurship was an instrument for social transformation of a world where unemployment and economic fissures pose a serious threat.
'œI felt this idea had the potential of a missile but needed undivided attention like an infant, in order to grow and become a success. It was an idea that could revolutionise the way people perceived the concept of entrepreneurship,' says Manav. 'œIt didn't take me long after that to begin my own journey as an entrepreneur of mentoring and moulding hopeful, young, and energetic entrepreneurs globally, especially those from the under-served regions.'
People from low-income groups take loans to educate their children only to find them back home doing nothing as there are no jobs. Some of them land up ordinary jobs in cities, other remain unemployed, and some even cause social unrest. What if young people are given entrepreneurial training during their education as a life skill so that they can create their own jobs and opportunities for others as well? With this in mind, Manav co-founded 1M1B with his sister Swati Subodh, who is a scientist.
At present, 1M1B runs two programmes '” Future Leaders and Startup Gurukool. Future Leaders is a programme that aims to create a new brand of socially conscious leaders who are connected to their communities. It works with young students (future leaders) through a leadership curriculum based on innovation and entrepreneurial thinking.
Smart Village Accelerator inauguration in Andhra Pradesh
Startup Gurukool is a village fellowship programme co-designed by 1M1B in partnership with the TATA Trusts, Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India, and supported by UN Habitat. It aims to accelerate indigenous technologies to rural markets and enable social entrepreneurs to gain access to these markets.
This creates jobs for people living in the villages while at the same time gives them access to crucial services and products. The fellows play a pivotal role in this and are allocated a cluster of villages to set up and run the Startup Gurukool in that region. Successful fellows get an opportunity to showcase their model at the annual '˜1M1B for SDG' event at the United Nations, New York, scheduled in first half of every year (this year's event will take place on March 19, 2018). Fellows have helped social enterprises like Agrikal, Cfog, Aquasoul, ISF Technologies and SchooIN.
1M1B began its journey in 2015 and is now successfully operating in five regions '” New York, Caribbean islands, Ghana, Vietnam, and India (Andhra Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, and Karnataka). The diversity of the projects at these sites is as diverse as the regions themselves. These projects are part of the 1M1B's Startup Gurukool which is customised for local needs. Their primary focus is on healthcare, agriculture, energy, and water. Through the Startup Gurukools in these sectors, they are directly making people job ready.
In 2016, 1M1B was a partner in the Andhra Pradesh Government's '˜Smart Village Initiative' along with UC Berkeley. In the prototype phase, they brought technologies and medical expertise in partnership with Care Hospitals, World Health Partners, and A3 RMT Pvt Ltd to three villages in the East Godavari region. The same model was then scaled to four states of India in 2017 under the name Startup Gurukool. In past six months of Startup Gurukool, 1M1B team with support from Tata Trusts has created 37 village entrepreneurs, jobs for 43 young people and enhanced income of over 177 people (mostly women) in the villages of India.
Besides creating impactful partnerships in India, 1M1B is the only Indian NGO that was chosen to partner with United Nations Department of Public Information for disseminating information about priority issues of the United Nations and reminding the governments of their pledges to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Encouraged by all the results, 1M1B is scaling its model to 20 rural locations of India and to additional five locations internationally (mainly underserved communities in Vietnam and the USA). Through these 25 locations, 1M1B is looking at skilling 5,000 young people in the villages for jobs and is aiming to enhance incomes of over 20,000 people in the villages through entrepreneurship. 1M1B is also establishing its first Healthcare Upskilling centre in Bhimavaram, Andhra Pradesh, India.

The Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles is on a mission to end bullying and homophobia through music. Every year over 85% of LGBT students in American schools are physically or verbally abused. Through its Alive Music Project, members of the Gay Men’s Chorus travel to schools to teach children about equality and acceptance through the unifying power of music.
Lee Stickler, the Gay Men’s Chorus’s youth outreach coordinator, said gay students who lobby their schools to bring in the chorus are the ones who receive the greatest benefit from the program.
“It is quite empowering for LGBTQ kids to have a captive audience of their peers as they welcome GMCLA at the start of a presentation,” he said. “All the students are surprised and relieved to see so many different faces, young and old, talking about their jobs, coming out, or their passion for music, and sharing personal stories without shame or apologies.”
The Gay Men’s Chorus also helps young people attend their concerts, which range from a classical repertoire to flashy Broadway numbers.
“Many students who attend our full concert performances, free of charge, have never been inside a professional theatre or concert hall and are excited to pose for pictures with our members and post about it on their blogs or profiles,” Stickler said.
But of course, the Alive Music Project has a deep impact on members, many heading back to high school for the first time since coming out or moving on in life.
“For many of our singers, going ‘back to high school’ as an out and proud gay man allows them to rewrite their own history,” Stickler said, “as many of us struggled silently as younger people, when we questioned not only our sexuality, but our safety and even our sanity.”

Canada Water Masterplan Update - May 2018
14th May 2018
Located in the London Borough of Southwark, Canada Water is a historic former working dock within the Surrey Quays area. The area itself saw a program of regeneration, redevelopment and investment concurrent to the expansion of the Jubilee Line in 1999.
Whilst this new transport connection intrinsically linked the area to E14 and Canary Wharf, keeping pace with the development plans and rapidly changing skyline of the opposite side of the river wasn't forecast.
During the following years, both Surrey Quays and Canary Wharf grew at a phenomenal rate, prices and development increased accordingly. The areas surrounding and adjacent received similar benefits as the supply and demand effect took hold. Many properties were sold as â€˜buy to letâ€™ investment opportunities alongside residential purchases for owner occupiers as the area grew in popularity.
Ambitious development plans from British Land and the London Borough of Southwark Council in the form of the Canada Water Masterplan will see a complete transformation of the area.
In a statement issued on the 14th May 2018 British Land confirmed "that they have submitted an outline planning application for the Canada Water Masterplan to Southwark Council which also includes a detailed planning application for the projectâ€™s first three buildings (A1, A2 and K1). All of this follows over four years of community engagement on the Masterplan with more than 110 public consultation and local outreach events, with a total recorded attendance of over 10,000 people. We would like to thank everybody who has contributed valuable time and ideas to the discussions so far. We have also entered into a Master Development Agreement with Southwark Council. Please find more details below, as well as information on the planning application next steps, â€˜Local Communications Commitmentâ€™ and other news."
Quoting below from the Canada Water Masterplanâ€™s website is an exert about the project itself.
â€˜â€™The Canada Water Masterplan is a long-term project and we intend to own and manage the spaces and places created to ensure the masterplan is properly integrated into the local area. This creates a unique opportunity to create a new piece of the city which everyone can find their place in â€“ by connecting with the local community, enhancing local skills, creating opportunities, growing local businesses and enlivening Canada Water, well beyond our red line boundary.â€™â€™
The redevelopment will cover 46-acre site between two docks, Canada Water Dock and Greenland Dock including:
â€¢ Printworks site
â€¢ Roberts Close site
â€¢ Surrey Quays Shopping Centre site
â€¢ Surrey Quays Leisure Park site
â€¢ Dock Managerâ€™s Office and 1-14 Dock Offices
With British Land, one of the largest property development and investment companies in the UK and consultants like Allies & Morrison, Townshend and Soundings bringing their knowledge and expertise to the project, it appears that Canada Water is destined to become a new favourite spot for future inhabitants and investors.
The project is expected to be completed by 2033 and you can read more about progress and updates here.
We are excited to see the results of these dramatic changes and have high hopes for the prosperity they will bring to the local community.

United fans face allocation cut
A report submitted to Liverpool City Council has recommended cutting the visiting supporters' capacity from 3,015 to 1,965 in an attempt to combat the problem of people blocking gangways. The Ground Safety Advisory Group, who compiled the report after match between the two sides in April, suggest problems with United fans at Anfield are far greater than those of other visiting clubs. "Pictures were presented which showed how the gangways at that game were affected compared to a similar high-profile game where persistent standing also occurred," said the report. "The actions of the Manchester United supporters had overwhelmed the reasonable operations of the stewards through the management plan. "This is an escalation of the actions of the supporters from previous games. "It is not clear what more the club can reasonably do through stewarding measures to ensure spectators do not encroach in to gangways. "Spectators from other away clubs attending the ground also persistently stand. "However they do not spread out in to the gangways to the same extent that the Manchester United spectators do." Liverpool City Council's licensing committee will make a final decision on the proposal at a meeting on August 8.

GENESEO – Main Street Geneseo started a long-anticipated party Friday afternoon as folks lined up in the Palace Theater Marqee to get tickets for the Geneseo Merchants Association (GMA) wine stroll, which officially began at 4p.m.
Several Main Street businesses will open their doors to hundreds of wine and cheese tasters from throughout Livingston County.
“We had 300 people come out for our last wine stroll on May Day this year,” said Bob Davis, president of GMA, “and we had to turn away another 150.”
There will be a concert in the Village Park that same evening, and at 7:00p.m. the Finger Lakes Opera will be starting a show in Wadsworth Auditorium on the SUNY Geneseo campus.


Simpson’s lineup has welcomed a new member, the silver (platinum) seatbelt.
The center buckle is a special design with rotary type.
A 6PT belt belongs to the set.
In Miata/MX-5 there is no space for the shoulder belt’s anchor.
When folding the hood the anchor’s strength cannot be secured. Furthermore, when folding the hood, the anchor and the belt become a hindrance. That’s why we recommend to tie it around the brace bar.
In this case there is no need to worry about the seat’s shape, the belt can be pulled down from an optimal point.
SIMPSON’s shoulder belt can be easily adjusted at two places.
On the picture the plate is being tied.
This plate can be tied to the bar.
Even in the case of other companies’ seatbelts there are some with adjustment at two places but there is a limitation of length adjustment and for this reason they are not good for Miata/MX-5 because in the case of Miatas the distance between the seat and the brace bar is short. Furthermore, the types with possible adjustment only at one place are difficult to set up in Miata/MX-5.
The center buckle is a rotary type and it has a special design.
The shoulder belt’s elasticity is the same as in the standard Simpson belt’s case and it is very compatible with Miata/MX-5.
The waist belt’s length adjustment is carried out on the right by the adjustment on the anchor side and on the left by the adjustment on the center buckle side.
The special platinum collar’s (silver) width is 75mm (3in).

Rey River Farms displayed their pumpkins at the information booth for market-goers topurchase and then carve for free. Many took advantage of the carving tools provided and the promise of
provided clean-up to carve some elaborate jack-o-lanterns. While some templates were used many pumpkin-artists decided to use their imaginations and free-hand their carvings. There was plenty
of fun and mess to go around and for a few it was their first pumpkin carving experience.

Conwy County Borough Council is reminding local businesses not to miss out on a Retail, Leisure and Hospitality Rates Relief Scheme for 2023-2024.
From 1 April 2023 eligible occupied businesses could qualify for 75% business rates relief under Welsh Government’s new Retail, Leisure & Hospitality Rates Relief Scheme. Premises which can submit applications for this relief include shops, pubs, restaurants, cafes and hair salons. It’s estimated that in Conwy County over 900 premises could benefit from the scheme amounting to a value of over £7million.
Businesses were sent information with their annual bills, but the Council is reminding them that they need to apply for this relief.
Councillor Mike Priestley, Cabinet Member for Finance, Revenue and Benefits, said, “Rate relief used to be applied automatically, so it’s important that businesses don’t forget that they need to apply to the Council so that they don’t risk losing out.”
Welsh Government criteria states that the amount of relief under this Scheme will be capped at £110,000 per business across the whole of Wales.
To apply, visit the Council’s website at www.conwy.gov.uk/businessrates

As far as Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. is concerned, 2016 was a very fruitful year. This is all due to the fact that the luxury sports carmaker has delivered the most cars in 2016 than any year in its entire history. Not only that, this sales milestone should allow Lamborghini to ride the momentum in 2017.
According to Lamborghini’s annual sales report, it was able to deliver 3,457 vehicles around the world in 2016, around 6.5 percent more (plus 212 vehicles) than the number of units that the company delivered in 2015 (3,245). This marks the first time that Lamborghini was able to breach 3,400 deliveries in any given year, as the company made full use of its 135 dealers spread in 50 countries worldwide. In addition, 2016 marks the sixth year in a row that the carmaker was able to post a surge in deliveries.
The United States remains as the carmaker’s largest single market, with 1,041 delivered in the country in 2016. Japan was the second largest market for the carmaker, followed by the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, the Middle East and China.
For the fiscal year 2016, the Lamborghini Huracan (Coupé and Spyder) remains to be the sports car maker’s most popular model. In fact, Lamborghini delivered 2,353 units of the V10-powered the Huracan in 2016 – 111 units more than the number that were sent for delivery to customers in 2015 (2,242). On the other hand, the V12-power Aventador accounted for nearly a third of deliveries in 2016. For the year, the carmaker delivered 1,104 units, compared to 1,003 units in 2015. Lamborghini reached a new milestone for the Aventador in December 2016, with production reaching 6,000 units in the month.
Lamborghini chairman and chief executive Stefano Domenicali said that by posting record deliveries in 2016, the luxury sports carmaker managed to outperform its key business objectives. He remarked that the new sales record confirms the substance and sustainability of not only the Lamborghini brand, but also the company’s product and commercial strategy. He noted that such record deliveries were remarkable considering that the company was in the midst of its preparations for its new super sports car models and for its third model line.
These new models include the new Lamborghini Centenario Coupe and the Centenario Roadster, both of which are up for delivery this year. Still in the midst of deliveries is the special series Huracan Avio, of which only 250 units are being made. Lamborghini is also in the process of building 50 units of the Aventador Miura Homage. Other new Lamborghini models that were launched or announced in 2016 include the Lamborghini Huracán Rear Wheel Drive Spyder and the new Lamborghini Aventador S.
The third model line that Domenicali mentioned refers to the Lamborghini Urus SUV that will be launched next year. To accommodate the production of this new model, Lamborghini will hike the capacity of its facilities in Sant’Agata Bolognese.


Rose, Chris. “1 Dead in the Attic”, CR Books, 2006.
Feeling the Pain After Katrina
I am very surprised that more books were not published about Hurricane Katrina given the literary heritage of New Orleans. There have been a few but there have not been many personal accounts. Chris Rose, a newspaper correspondent in New Orleans, put some of his newspaper columns together and gives a picture of what New Orleans was like after the storm. Reading it is painful and shocking and shows how much that we as Americans take for granted. (Believe me, I know. I was stranded in New Orleans for a little more than a week after Katrina hit).
He writes of what was once my city and the journey many of us took—from living comfortably to roaming around looking for somewhere to live. He brilliantly describes what day-to-day life was like for the citizens of New Orleans after the storm. I am sure many of you have never known what it is like to have to depend upon the kindness of others or to live on a cot in a convention center in a strange place with over 200 roommates who you do not know.
Rose gives us the anger and frustration and the sadness and the joy that we experienced and the beautiful way we were treated by people we did not know,
This is the book to read about Katrina because it is so honest and so well written. Rose accurately describes the sights and sounds of New Orleans and how it feels to see a city almost disappear. I cried and I laughed as I read.
This book is not about the levees that failed or the building that were destroyed or the ineffectiveness of the state and federal government. It is about the people who had to deal with losses which are beyond human comprehension, about loneliness and heartbreak and despair and above all, fear. But it also is compassionate and hopeful and has wicked humor.

NASHVILLE, TENN. — Postmenopausal women with a history of gastrointestinal side effects on bisphosphonate therapy had a decline in GI symptoms after 6 months of either oral or intravenous ibandronate, although the decline was more pronounced with the intravenous drug, according to interim results presented at the annual meeting of the North American Menopause Society.
Dr. Mark Martens of the University of Oklahoma, Tulsa, reported 6-month data from the ongoing 12-month PRIOR study, which is assessing the tolerability of ibandronate (Boniva) in women with a history of daily or weekly bisphosphonate treatment for osteoporosis or osteopenia.
This trial is not randomized; the patients initially requested either 150-mg ibandronate orally once a month or quarterly intravenous 3-mg ibandronate, and they have the option of switching to the other arm if they experience side effects but may do so only once. The study initially enrolled 546 patients. Patients are assessed every 3 months.
Among 146 patients initially in the oral group, 11 (7.5%) switched to intravenous treatment, and 15 (3.8%) of 396 patients in the intravenous group chose to switch to the oral arm, Dr. Martens said.
Serious adverse events were reported by 4% of all patients—4% of the oral group and 3% of those on the intravenous treatment.
Dr. Martens reported that the total change from baseline in GI tolerance scores was 130 at month 1 for the oral group and 377 at month 1 for the intravenous group.
The primary diagnosis was osteoporosis for 85 patients in the oral group (58%) and 281 patients in the intravenous group (71%). Osteopenia was the primary diagnosis for 61 patients (42%) in the oral group and 115 patients (29%) in the intravenous group.
Dr. Martens disclosed that he has received financial support from GlaxoSmithKline, Procter and Gamble, Merck & Co., and Eli Lilly.


Last week we heard that HTC would be launching an new phone exclusively in China which would allow for mobile payments via NFC. That same device, the PH85110, has been brought to the FCC recently. On top of its already impressive array of radios were several GSM frequencies that may indicate its the PH85110 is going to be heading state-side after all.
We haven’t seen much news in the realm of mobile NFC payments since Google announced their Google Wallet program in May. HTC is taking initiative though, bringing a payment-enabled device to China, where NFC payments are already as pervasive as credit cards are in the States. Initial rumors had been that the phone would be exclusive to China though.
The phone recently showed up at the FCC with a generous helping of radios, including NFC, Bluetooth, and WiFi n. As far as telephony though, it was not only sporting America’s 850 and 1900 GSM bands (Europe, Asia, and Aftica use 900/1800), but WCDMA bands II, IV, and V (II is used by T-Mobile, and the others by AT&T).
While this doesn’t necessarily confirm anything, its a good sign for those who were disappointed by initial reports the phone wouldn’t come to America. The real question now, is if the phone is released in the U.S., what plans does HTC have for its NFC capabilities? Maybe the next Google Wallet phone enabled phone?

Welcome to the latest issue of Denis Poole�s Secret Garden, the page that offers a personal perspective on the very best from the world of smooth jazz and classic soul. Ever since 1994, and the advent of his debut CD Long Night Out, Brian Culbertson has stood out as the master of R & B tinged smooth jazz. His discography is faultless and has now been further enhanced by the release of his twelfth solo album, the aptly titled XII. Out on GRP Records, this landmark collection offers up twelve original Culbertson compositions and, with a star studded line-up of guest performers, is among the best contemporary jazz recordings of the year so far.
The first single to be slated for Urban AC radio is the edgy ballad �Skies Wide Open� that features stand-out vocals from Avant. It is one of three tracks co-produced by Rex Rideout and another is �Don't U Know Me By Now� that is brought to stunning life by the earthy vocals of Faith Evans. She is also around for the high octane party tune �Feelin' It� for which the horn section of Greg Boyer, Bryan Mills and Brad Clements is to die for. This ultra funky number is further enhanced by input on vocals and guitar from Chuck Brown who is regarded by many as the pioneer of Washington DC �Go-Go� music and when Culbertson teams with Brian McKnight for the sensational steppers cut �Out On The Floor� the result is pure magic.
Of course no Brian Culbertson album would be complete without a smattering of the ultra catchy instrumental tracks with which he made his name. XII is no exception as first for �Stay Wit It� and again with the zesty �It�s Time� he delivers luscious slices of what might be described as �classic Culbertson�. This latter tune was written in collaboration with Sheldon Reynolds of Earth Wind & Fire fame and when later they again combine for the mellow �Forever� Culbertson calls upon the legendary Ray Parker Jr. to lend a hand. Parker also features on the distinctly sexy �I Wanna Love You� that evokes memories of the sultry mood so memorably created by Culbertson�s 2005 project It's On Tonight and as he keeps the tempo relaxed for �Waiting For You� the outcome is a velvety, understated gem.
Already making an impact on the chart of most played on smooth jazz radio is the feel good groove of �That's Life� that finds Culbertson in delightful partnership with the wonderful Earl Klugh while elsewhere spoken word starlet Natalie Stewart (of Floetry fame) sprinkles her unique talents all over �I Don't Know�. The addition of a compelling beat and great keys from Culbertson makes this one of the CD�s best cuts but right up there with it, and a real Secret Garden favorite, is �Another Love�. With a thumping old school vibe, and silkily soulful vocals from the always excellent Kenny Lattimore, smooth R & B doesn�t get better than this.
XII is out now and comes highly recommended.

And just why is this "story" worthy of publication at this particular moment in September of 2011?
Has Dr. Williams tendered his resignation? No.
Has Dr. Williams announced that he will tender his resignation? No.
Has anyone in the Church of England or Her Majesty's Government called for Dr. Williams to resign? Again, no.
Is Mr. Wynne-Jones quoting any source who has actually spoken to Dr. Williams about this subject? Once more -- no.
Why, then, should this story be newsworthy at this time?
An unattributed story -- nay, let us call it what it is: a rumour (to use the official UK spelling) -- to the effect that a high official plans to step down, which is reported in the news media some nine months before the stepping down is allegedly to take place, has one and only one purpose: to undermine the authority of the given official, and to tend to turn him into what Americans know as a "lame duck."
The story -- sorry, rumour -- is the kind that can only gain in credibility to the extent that it is not promptly and vigorously refuted, i.e., denied by the official himself. Which is why such a rumour is floated on a Saturday, just before the Sunday papers come out in the U.K. -- such timing virtually guarantees that there can be no official response for at least 36 to 48 hours, which is plenty of time for the version to get "legs" of its own.
A moment's reflection, however, should suffice to show that the rumour carries within it the seeds of its own disavowal. Let everyone who hears it first ask himself/herself these simple questions:
If the rumour were true, what difference would it make to the Anglican Communion if Dr. Williams were to resign next July, or were to resign right now?
Are there any Primates' Meetings scheduled before next July? No.
Is the Lambeth Conference supposed to convene before next July? Certainly not -- the next Lambeth Conference will not take place for at least seven years.
Well, what about the Anglican Consultative Council? It does not convene until November 2012, in New Zealand.
And before that? Well, the "Standing Committee of the Anglican Communion" meets in May 2012 to plan for ACC-15, but the Standing Committee is not exactly constituted currently as a body where the Archbishop of Canterbury can make any difference.
All right, so we have determined that waiting until July 2012 for the other shoe to drop will make not the slightest of differences to the well-planned-out life of the Anglican Communion. Everything in it will go forward exactly as scheduled, whether we have ++Rowan or --Rowan.
But what about the life of the Church of England?
Ah, now we might be getting somewhere . . . For the story drops this tantalizing clue to its motivation:
Sources close to the archbishop say he will leave after the Queen's Diamond Jubilee next June and having seen the Church finally pass legislation to allow women to become bishops.
At the site of the General Synod of the Church of England, one may read the following about the proposed legislation to allow it to ordain women bishops, which is currently under consideration by the several dioceses:
If a majority of Diocesan Synods approve the draft legislation, it will return to the General Synod (probably in February 2012) for Final Drafting. The Final Approval stage, at which two-thirds majorities are required in each House, could be reached in July 2012. If approved, the legislation would then go to Parliament for consideration by the Ecclesiastical Committee and each House of Parliament.But such a scenario could be achieved only if, as we say again here in America, "the sun is shining and the birds are all singing in the trees." In September 2011, when this story surfaces, it is certainly probable, but not entirely certain, that a majority of the Church of England's 44 dioceses will approve the proposed legislation by the November 14 deadline. And if they do, the legislation would then return to General Synod for Final Drafting in February 2012, after which (assuming a Final Draft emerges) it could (depending on what passes in February) be put to a vote no earlier than -- July 2012.
In other words, the best-case scenario would come to pass, if it comes to pass, right about when His Grace is supposed to be "announcing" his resignation. Hmm -- in that event, more bothersome questions then surface:
1. If the Archbishop of Canterbury is instrumental in getting a Final Draft to pass Synod next July, why would he resign his post before seeing the legislation through Parliament? After all, by resigning he would be giving up his seat in the House of Lords -- and he would miss out on the opportunity to lead the consecration of the Church of England's first woman bishop. It is hardly the mark of a crusader to exit the scene before Jerusalem is glimpsed.
2. And if Synod does not achieve the two-thirds vote in both Houses to pass the Final Draft in July 2012, wouldn't a resignation immediately afterward appear only as a weak, symbolic protest? ("Symbolic", because the measure could not return to Synod for at least another year. The resignation could not, therefore, cause any sentiments for the legislation's immediate reconsideration.) Dr. Williams does not strike me as being one to engage in weak symbolic protests.
I'm afraid the story as published lacks, shall we say, a certain internal consistency. But that does not mean that one cannot derive a motive for its instigation. One has to ask the question: if the effect of the rumour, particularly if it is not immediately and convincingly denied, is to turn the Archbishop into a lame duck, who would benefit from such a weakening at this particular point in time? Or, to put the question into traditional, concise Latin, cui bono?
Ah, now we are talking. For it would not be the Most Rev. Katharine Jefferts Schori, or her enablers at ECUSA and in the Communion as a whole, who would specifically benefit: they have already seen to the irreparable loss of Dr. Williams' authority overseas and in the Instruments of Communion, by simply defying his every request up till now for restraint. Once again, therefore, by the process of elimination, it must be in the interests of a certain group within the Church of England itself to plant such a story at this time.
And who would be more motivated to do so than the group pushing the legislation which is to come before Synod next February? For let's face it: for the purposes of that group, ++Rowan is now simply in the way. Regarded as having made commitments to the Anglo-Catholics to ensure that they will not abandoned to the vicissitudes of a mere code of practice, which could be disregarded with impunity, the Archbishop has made his role in the passage of the eventual legislation rather awkward, since he has to be seen (at least publicly) to be dragging his feet while he is (supposedly) strongly for it. What better way, therefore, to minimize any potential slowdown from his dragging his feet than by making him lame between now and next July?
This may be only speculation on my part, but it is as good as anyone else's at this point, given that all anyone has to go on is an unattributed rumour at third hand. Some bloggers, with more of an agenda to advance, will undoubtedly take the occasion to say more -- but no more than what an obituary could say on this date, were that the news with which we were dealing. For this Anglican Curmudgeon, it is far too soon to dismiss what remains of the influence that could yet be wielded by a willing Archbishop of Canterbury -- especially (and if only) he determined to put to rest such a pernicious rumour. Until there is more to deal with than just vapor and guesses, therefore, I will say only: "that's my take, and I'm sticking with it."

Why I Dance Tango? Adventures in Buenos Aires by Ruth Offen
As to bio, I was born in New Jersey, and eventually after living in New York, Boston, San Francisco, I landed most recently on San Juan Island, in Washington state and now am living in Buenos Aires since January 2020... For 35 years, years I have curated a contemporary art gallery, where I refined my skills and became the visual editor that I am now. Always with a camera or some picture capturing device in tow [including much heavy equipment] I began to travel and at the same time was introduced to dancing about 12 years ago. As the phones have improved, I have given up all my gear, including my beloved Fuji, Xt1 Pro for a good phone. Yes some shots are not as good on the phone, but for my love of detail and dancing, it suits me well. For me the story telling begins with a visual moment, some internal mechanism is triggered and ...there's your photo. Other times it’s about a sliver of color or detritus that captures the eye. My subject matter ranges from the small moment of beauty found on the street or in a window display to social Tango. I chose Tango as my dance of choice as I love the lifestyle, the music, the embrace and yes dressing up. What I choose to share in my Tango series includes images shot around the world, but most recently in Buenos Aires, Argentina is the connection that tango dancers of all ages have with each other. For me, it's all about capturing a moment, an impression or an emotion.

For the first time ever, the City of Joy Kolkata witnessed the International Kite Festival Vokatta. The festival was organized by the Benchmark New Town Kolkata International Kite Festival Trust and took place at the Eco Tourism Park in Kolkata.
Vokatta is the biggest organized kite festival in Eastern India. It is a great platform to showcase the rich heritage of Indian kite making and also the traditional technique of kite flying which evolved through the ages to modern day India. Vokatta started in 2013 and it promises to become one of the most awaited festivals for the city of joy. Participants from all over the country as well as from abroad participated in this festival. Dilip Kapadia (recipient of Arjuna Award), Bhavna Mehta (first Indian woman kite flyer), Rajesh Nair, Sundara Murthy, V. Gopala Roy, Jamsed Turnur and Mahesh Chavda were the participants from India. The international participants included Barbara Meyer (USA), Johan Van Eeckhout (Belgium), Vinita Vij (Belgium), Robert William Cruikshanks (UK), Raymond Euphemia De Graaf (Netherland), Mohammad Noor and Azemi Bin Ariffin (Malaysia), Gadis Widiyati (Singapore) and Maksum Maksum (Indonesia).
The main attractions of the kite festival were the inflatable Delta Zero Wind Kites (Big Blue Beasts from Belgium) which were ten meter by five meter in diameter. The LED kite costs about ten thousand US dollars. The Kite Arial Photography by famous French kite flier and arial photographer Nicholas Chorier also thrilled the audience considerably. A hot air balloon show for the children aged between eight to fourteen years was also organized. The children could go for rides in the hot air balloon for free. The organizers also showcased the rich heritage and history of kite flying with the Kite Gallery.
The International Kite festival in its maiden year gathered immense support from the people and we hope that this will continue in the coming years. Vokatta…!!!


Harriston Industries proudly engineers and builds our machines here in the United States. This gives us the opportunity to create proven and reliable designs that we have a hand in throughout the entire production process, to ensure the highest quality. Using a simple yet extremely precise design, one of the newsworthy products we have worked hard to fine-tune and perfect is the Harriston Cup Planter.
This machine is built with the grower’s needs in mind, focusing on accuracy and reliability. Available in widths from one to 12 rows, our Cup Planter features a rigid row unit that prevents seeds from falling off the cup due to the opening shoe movement. A floating shoe provides consistent seed depth, adjustable for different field conditions, and a short seed drop assures the best seed spacing accuracy possible in a cup planter.
The positive bowl feeding system incorporated with this machine can be either mechanically switch-activated or controlled by ultrasonic sensors, depending upon which drive system you prefer. Unlike the gravity systems, both options maintain an even seed bowl height to allow for more uniform feeding of the cups, producing fewer skips and doubles. The planter also comes equipped with a Harriston Hydraulic Drive for simple on-the-fly adjustments, with dry fertilizer integrated, eliminating the need for multiple displays. There are a variety of other options available as well, including but not limited to:
- Clutch kit for individual row shutoff
- Fertilizer attachments
- GPS-compatible rear steer
- GPS or manual switch control options
- Harriston or Raven Hyd Control
- Hopper extensions
- Hydraulic or mechanical drive
- Opening shoe option
- Pole hitch or semi-mount
- Seed accuracy monitor
- Walking tandem wheels
- Wheel sizes


Today’s generation uses a computer for everything. The most important and common activity done in computers is storing the data and files.
Table of Contents
But for storing files and other data in devices (phones or computers), memory is required. For example, RAM and ROM are types of memories sued for storing data inside electronic devices.
RAM and ROM both are used for a similar function, i.e. storing data. Except these also they are similar in many ways, but that does not mean they are the same.
They have several differences among them. And to choose the best you should know them deeply.
RAM vs ROM
The main difference between RAM and ROM is that, when compared, RAM has more advantages over ROM that includes speed, capacity, volatility, safety, etc., whereas ROM is not as much as beneficial as RAM. Due to all its benefits, RAM is more expensive, while ROM is less expensive and ideal for someone who does not want to spend too much.
RAM or Random Access Memory is where the data of the computer is stored. It only stores the information and data that the computer is actively using.
Therefore, it is beneficial for such use as for more programs, more memory is required, which increases the use of RAM. It has certain benefits over ROM, except it is more expensive.
ROM or Read-Only Memory is used in electronic devices where data cannot be modified after the manufacture of the device. It is slower and has a lower capacity than the RAM.
It is used in modern computers mostly. Despite all the disadvantages, it is considered to be less expensive, and everyone can afford it.
Comparison Table Between RAM and ROM
|Parameters of Comparison||RAM||ROM|
|Speed||Higher speed||Slower speed|
|Capacity||High capacity||Lower capacity|
|Modifies and erased||Can be modified and erased||Cannot be modified and erased|
|Volatile||Much volatile||Less volatile|
|Affordable||Less affordable||More affordable|
What is RAM?
The RAM is a type of computer’s memory. It can be read or changed as per convenience.
It is mostly used for storing the data and machine code. Several types of RAM include the following:
- SRAM (Static Random Access Memory): it uses multiple transistors that are more than 3. It has certain advantages such as it is simpler, good performance, reliable, uses low idle power consumption and also certain disadvantages such as its density, its price, it requires high power consumption for operation.
- DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory): memory is paired with only a single transistor (unlike SRAM) and capacitor. It is more complicated in nature but still has an advantage due to its simple cell structure. It is more affordable when compared with SRAM.
- VRAM (Video Random Access Memory): it also called Multiport Dynamic Random Access Memory. Mainly used for 3-D accelerators. It has two independent ports. When compared to SRAM is more expensive; therefore, SRAM is used more.
Advantages of RAM:
- It maximizes the speed of the computer’s system.
- Allow storage of data inside the system.
- It is faster than hard drive storage.
- More power efficient.
- Much affordable than SSD and also faster.
Disadvantages of RAM:
- It is sometimes slow when compared to ROM.
- It is less affordable.
What is ROM?
It falls under the category of non-volatile memory. Data inside this type of memory cannot be changed or erased.
It allows only to read the data. It a hard-wired and include a system that cannot be changed electronically.
There are various types of ROM such as:
- Masked Read-Only Memory or MROM: this type cannot be modified as it is original.
- Programmable Read-Only Memory or PROM: it cannot be programmed after the chip has been created. Information is permanent. Hence no modification or changes can be made.
- Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory or EPROM: Dov Frohman was developed in 1971. No new data can be saved in it as it cannot be modified. It is not used commonly in computer systems.
- Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory or EEPROM: data in it can be reprogrammed and erased. Data that can be stored in the system is not on. It is more powerful than other types.
Advantages of ROM:
- It is non-volatile.
- They don’t need static time.
- Comparatively simpler circuitry.
- Permanent storage of data is also an option.
Disadvantages of ROM:
- It cannot be modified.
- No changes can be made in any case.
Main Differences Between RAM and ROM
- While RAM is very less affordable by everyone, ROM is considered to be the most and ideal affordable option in comparison.
- When it comes to speed, Random Access Memory has the upper hand and is faster than the Read-only Memory, which is relatively slow.
- Like speed, Random Access Memory has more capacity than Read-only Memory that has lower capacity in comparison.
- As the name suggests, Read-only Memory data it can only be read, not modified, or erased, while in Random Access Memory, the data can also be erased and modified.
- Central Processing Unit uses data stored in RAM is used for the current instructions process, while for bootstrapping, the computer data stored in ROM is used.
- Data stored inside Random Access Memory can be easily accessed for the process of the Central Processing Unit, whereas for the same data stored in Read-only Memory, there are steps that have to be done.
- Random-access Memory is much more volatile as it is safer and more reliable for data storage until there is an interruption of power in between, while when compared, Read-only Memory is less volatile as it is permanent.
Having a good memory installed in the computers is very important for its smooth functioning. While for emails and surfing on the web, they are not required.
But for someone who used computers for more complex work such as editing or recording videos or images. For these purposes, memory plays a vital role.
It also works as backup storage.
It makes sure you don’t lose any data or files.
It is the choice of the customer which (either RAM or ROM) he wants, after checking its features and advantages. Other examples of storage devices can be hard disk drives, magnetic tapes, floppy disks, etc.
I’ve put so much effort writing this blog post to provide value to you. It’ll be very helpful for me, if you consider sharing it on social media or with your friends/family. SHARING IS ♥


In Ruchika molestation case, the CBI has commenced formal interaction with SC Girhotra, Ruchika’s father, and all others connected directly or indirectly with the case, reported NDTV.
Report said that the CBI team of the Special Crime Branch (SCB) initiated interaction with Anand Prakash, father of Aradhana, the only eye witness in the case, at its camp office in Sector 18 in Chandigarh. Prakash is also husband of Madhu Prakash, the complainant in the case in which Rathore was recently awarded six months imprisonment.
Report quoted Prakash as saying that the CBI had called him, for they wanted to acquaint themselves with the case.
“But I will be taking along with me records relating to the case for submission to the team which is also expected to record my statement,” he was quoted as saying.
However, Aradhna, the sole eye witness, said that the CBI had not called her yet, said report.
Ruchika’s father also met with the CBI team to provide details of the case to the officials, report said.
The CBI had on January 12 taken over the three fresh FIRs against disgraced former DGP of Haryana lodged by Girhotra and his son Ashu leveling various allegations, including attempt to murder, abetment to suicide and doctoring the post mortem report and other documents.

The fourth episode of "Africans in America: America's Journey Through Slavery" begins with a story written by Shad Hall, descendent of a slave.
A group of slaves on Butler Island is being chased by their master, who swears to "catch'em and whip'em." They run and run until the land ends at the water's edge. "Now I gotcha," the master declares. But to his surprise, the slaves spread their arms and fly away home to Africa. Freed from bondage forever.
The narration is accompanied by poetic images of a faceless fugitive fleeing across the landscape, followed by a flock of birds ascending into the air. Steve Fayer, writer of the series, points to this sequence as emblematic of the kind of documentaries he and executive producer Orlando Bagwell like to make. "We don't do surveys. We're both storytellers. We're carving stories out of history."
Bagwell and Fayer have worked together on several documentaries, including two films for the multi-award-winning series "Eyes on the Prize."
"Africans" is the first series to fully examine the history of slavery in America. It begins in 1607 when 120 colonists land at Jamestown and concludes in 1860 when Lincoln is elected president and the Civil War begins. Filmed across 12 states and three continents, the four-part PBS series took three and one-half years to make.
Oscar-nominated actress Angela Bassett ("Stella's Got Her Groove Back") narrates. First-person narratives, journals and excerpts from abolitionist newspapers give insight into the reality of slavery. In-depth interviews with historians and descendants provide perspective. Together they reveal how a chorus of lone voices united to chip away at the institution of slavery and hold a mirror up to the American system to reflect its immorality. The presentation of this providential journey to attain inalienable rights posed a formidable challenge.
A list of Bagwell's award-winning films is long; it includes "Frederick Douglass: When the Lion Wrote History" and "Malcolm X: Make It Plain." "Africans" presented a new set of problems for the veteran filmmaker.
"We had very little to work with in terms of stills and imagery," Bagwell says. "There's no archival footage of the time. We're talking about a large group of people who are almost nameless and faceless. There are many for whom there are no real records of existence."
Bagwell and Fayer exercised remarkable imagination and drew on impeccable scholarship in the field to make the series possible. They chose a blend of documentary and dramatic re-enactment techniques to tell their stories cinematically.
"We began with the notion of labor. Much of building of the nation at the time depended on slavery. We worked with parts of bodies and dark shadows to find a way that wouldn't violate the little documentation that exists," Bagwell explains.
"We locked into this idea," Fayer says, "that we were dealing with history as a dream in the early centuries. We were entering a very misty period in which alot of things were not defined."
The results are haunting dreamlike images, more evocative than literal. Rushing overhead shots of forests and rivers represent our rapidly expanding nation. Muscular arms work the fields; bare feet pound the earth. Faces of slaves are deliberately obscured, symbolizing that their public identities have in effect been stolen.
What could not be taken from the slaves was their interior life. Landholders might own their bodies, but no one could own their minds and their souls. Eloquent slave narratives are used throughout the series to reveal the indefatigable fight to maintain this inner strength.
"One of our interviewees talks about freedom as something that is inside of you. You had to define it on your own terms," Bagwell says. "Keeping it is essential and difficult. Slavery was physical, but once you allowed that physical to take over your spirituality, your sense of self, then, in fact, you had been defeated. You were a slave."
Some of the film's indelible moments are distinguished by utter simplicity. A scholar reading a list of Jefferson's slaves - each name accompanied by the person's dollar value. Isolated facts: George Washington allotted $1 per slave per year for clothing; children often went naked. A narrator describing slaves swimming out to British ships with the hope of fleeing to Britain and freedom, only to have British soldiers hack their arms with cutlasses as they try to board.
The documentarians emphasize that this series is not only black history, but American history. "Africans" contains the story of the creation of a nation, the historical roots of the current racial divide and the seeds for solutions.

WASHINGTON -- Wyoming Republican Senate candidate Liz Cheney defended herself Sunday against allegations that she approves of same-sex marriage, saying she supports the traditional definition of marriage.
Cheney was asked to clarify her position on gay marriage during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," after host Chris Wallace pointed out that she opposed a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and supported the State Department's offering benefits to same-sex partners of its employees around the world. Wallace asked Cheney if she believed it was a flip for her to take such stands, but then of late to reaffirm her opposition to gay marriage.
"It's not, and I stand by both of those positions," Cheney said. "I don't believe we ought to discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation. If people are in a same-sex relationship and they want their partner to be able to have health benefits or be designated as a beneficiary in your life insurance, there's no reason we shouldn't do that."
"I also don't support amending the Constitution on this issue," she added. "I do believe it's an issue that's got to be left up to states. I do believe in the traditional definition of marriage."
Cheney's position on gay marriage has been the subject of much scrutiny during her Senate bid, prompting her to dance around the issue in recent months. She told the Daily Caller in August that she is "not pro gay marriage," but has repeatedly declared it a state-level issue.
Mary Cheney, who is gay and married her longtime partner in Washington, D.C., last year, has criticized her sister's stance as "dead wrong."
"For the record, I love my sister, but she is dead wrong on the issue of marriage," Mary Cheney wrote in a Facebook post in September. "Freedom means freedom for everyone," she continued. "That means that all families -- regardless of how they look or how they are made -- all families are entitled to the same rights, privileges and protections as every other."
Their father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, endorsed same-sex marriage in 2009.
Liz Cheney responded to her sister on Sunday, saying, "Listen, I love Mary very much, I love her family very much. This is just an issue on which we disagree."
Cheney also accused her opponent, Sen. Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), and his allies of running "scurrilous" ads attacking her commitment to traditional marriage. The conservative group American Principles Fund unveiled a television ad last month hitting Cheney for appearing on liberal network MSNBC to "campaign against the marriage amendment and support government benefits for gay couples."
Cheney said Enzi had insisted he wouldn't stoop to petty politics during the course of his reelection campaign, and she called on the Republican senator to renounce the ad.
Republicans hold nearly every elected office in Wyoming, one of the most conservative states in the country. It currently prohibits gay marriage, and several attempts to include the gay and transgender community in the state's anti-discrimination laws have failed.
At the same time, Wyoming state lawmakers have rejected efforts by social conservatives to disavow the recognition of same-sex marriages from other states and to insert "defense of marriage" amendments in the state constitution.

Made very welcome, much less formal than a hotel. Quiet location. Very comfortable room. Easy parking, about 10 minutes walk from windermere centre. had an early departure on Sunday, so arranged a breakfast in my room, no fuss.
Good location 20 min to the lake and port. Rooms are very traditional, hosts are very kind and helpful.
The wall and door cannot keep voice inside the room. Talks can easily to be heared from outside.
The location is good as it is 10min from the Windermere rail station and 15min from Bowness. Stayed in a single room and it was clean and comfortable. Decent breakfast set with friendly staff.
Comfortable, basic accommodation at a reasonable price for the Lake District. Friendly staff. Only serve evening meals though if they have a conference taking place so the website was a bit misleading in that respect.
Clean, comfortable rooms. Very good value for money. Well organised, lovely building, excellent service from the manager and staff.
Very good for elderly people.

Adam and Eve
The Flower Festival in St Tighernach's Church, Clones last weekend was a wonderful success. The Church doors were opened on Friday afternoon after Mrs Cassandra Hand' had cut the purple ribbons at the church-gates. After her short speech, Mr Willie Stinson played the bagpipes and the crowd who were gathered on the Diamond climbed the fourteen steps to the Church.
The Church was busy from Friday afternoon until it closed on Sunday evening. There were seventeen stunning floral exhibits in the Church, all looking different in colour, shape and size. Fifteen of these were designed by Mr Timothy Elliott, Manor Gardens, Lisnaskea, another display was created by parishioner, Mrs Sandra Irwin, and a floral interpretation, in the Sunday School room, was made by the children and their teachers. These arrangements represented various aspects of love as it is found in the Bible and in Christian history. The vintage bridal dress exhibition in the Protestant Hall was greatly admired and everyone enjoyed the delicious refreshments that were served. Those who went on Mr George Knight's historical tours were amazed to learn how much history there is in Clones.
At the opening service on Friday evening, Bishop John McDowell encouraged everyone not only to enjoy the beauty of flowers and creation, but also to look beyond and see the Creator. At this service, Mrs Cassandra Hand' preformed a monologue, describing Clones where she lived during the famine years and how the lace-making skills she introduced made a difference to so many individuals and families.
It was Mrs Cassandra Hand, the wife of the Revd Thomas Hand, who donated the fine Walker organ to the parish. The organ was played throughout the weekend by organists from the parishes as well as from neighbouring churches. In addition the Sheridan family played traditional folk music which added to the ambience and atmosphere in the Church.
Canon Noel Regan Fr Cathal Deery Canon Helene T-Steed and Mr Charles Mills
The Church was almost filled to capacity for the closing service on Sunday evening with people from Clones and beyond. Mr Glenn Moore, the organist, performed a recital of organ music and accompanied the congregation in the hymn singing. Soloist Mr Roy Crowe sang two hymns which expressed the wonder and amazement of God's creation. The Sacred Heart Choir sang some beautiful pieces accompanied by Roisin Sheridan.
In her sermon, Canon Steed said: There is both a complexity and simplicity about flowers. Did you know that a flower contains the wind, the rain, the sun, the breath of countless people and the air of all continents? And yet is so simple: a stem and petals. We look at it, and just love its beauty. Like flowers, we are complex and simple at the same time. Just as a flower contains a universe within itself, so we contain within us, the sum total of all our experiences and relationships that have made us what we are. So much and yet we are so simple. Looking at you today, you are a wonderful looking bunch of flowers. You would look great on your own in a vase, but all put together create a stunning arrangement. An arrangement called community.'
Congregation at the Closing Service
After this very successful weekend, speaking on behalf of the Church of Ireland parishioners in Clones, Canon Steed said: The weekend was truly remarkable. We were overwhelmed by the tremendous support from the people of Clones, Co Monaghan, Co Fermanagh and further afield. It is humbling that people travelled all the way from all 'arts and parts' to admire the flowers and support our Church. Our sincere thanks for all their kindness and generosity.' The Flower Festival has to date raised €14,000 towards the restoration of the windows in the Church and donations are still being received.

Ferromagnetic resonance from nanoparticle agglomerates in nonmagnetic matrices
|Nikolaos Gouskos 3, Janusz Typek 2, Urszula Narkiewicz 1,4, Michał Maryniak 2, K Aidinis 3|
1. Technical University of Szczecin, Pulaskiego 10, Szczecin 70-322, Poland
Samples of α-Fe and Fe3C nanoparticle agglomerates dispersed at different concentrations in various nonmagnetic matrices have been prepared. The agglomerates have been characterized by XRD and SEM spectroscopy. Magnetic resonance measurements of the samples have been carried out at different temperatures in the 4-300 K range. An intense and broad magnetic resonance absorption line has been recorded at different magnetice resonance fields for various matrices. With decreasing temperatures the resonance field has shifted and the intensity and the linewidth of that resonance line have displayed an unusual behavior. The resonance line could be fitted by a superposition of two Lorentzian-shape lines: one centered at lower magnetic field and the other placed at higher resonance magnetic field showing strongly decreased integrated intensity with decreasing temperatures. It is suggested that the magnetic resonance condition depends essentially on the internal magnetic field. This phenomenon is stronger for the Fe nanoparticle agglomerates than for Fe3C, for which the Neel temperature is higher. The magnetic exchange interaction between spins essentially influences the above processes.

A 10-week-old infant girl was referred to our hospital with a rapidly growing lesion involving the right orbit. The infant was twin B of nonidentical twins and born prematurely at 29 weeks' gestation. The lesion had been present at birth as a flat purplish mark and had started to increase in size from the age of 10 days. On examination, a large, soft periocular mass was observed and had been completely occluding the right eye from the age of 5 weeks (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The baby was otherwise well. A complete blood cell count and results of coagulation tests and a basic chemistry panel were all normal. Following further diagnostic investigations and therapeutic interventions, the infant required surgical treatment at the age of 17 weeks (Figure 3 and Figure 4).

Introducing Oppo Pad, the first Oppo tablet with 120 Hz display and Snapdragon 870 processor without 5G
The first interesting thing about Oppo Pad undoubtedly belongs to its design, which is different from almost any other Android tablet we have seen so far, and unlike most tablets that offer a simple and classic design, it has adopted a more fancy form. Is. The upper part of the device offers a narrow border around the screen, which indicates the high user class of the Oppo Pad; Two different designs are used for the design of the back part in all three colors of the device, which separates the area under the camera from other matte and fingerprint-resistant parts of this part. The area under the camera in two versions, black and purple, hosts the letters in each irregular shape of the word Oppo and in The silver limited edition called Artist Edition is also considered an interesting artistic design for this section.
Oppo Pad has dimensions of 252.2 and 163.8 mm in length and width, respectively, which compares with a powerful competitor such as Galaxy Tab S8 Samsung with The screen of the same size and length and width of 253.8 and 165.3 mm shows better performance. The thickness of this tablet is approximately 7 mm (7.05 in the purple version), although it is 0.7 mm more than its Samsung counterpart, but it is still very small and can be considered as one of the thinnest models in this class. Oppo Pad is not far behind Tab S8 in terms of weight, and its weight of 507 grams (510 grams in the purple version) is not much different from the Wi-Fi version of Tab S8. This weight is almost the same considering the higher capacity of the battery in the Oppo Pad, which is another positive point for the Chinese opponent of this competition.
The screen of the tablet, which covers 86.3% of the device with small 7mm borders, is an 11-inch 10-bit sample with a resolution of 1600×2560 pixels ( WQXGA) is built with LTPS technology and supports 120Hz refresh rate and DCI-P3 color gamut. The contrast of this screen is 1,500:1 and its typical brightness is 480nits.
On top of the screen is an 8-megapixel selfie camera without autofocus with f/2.0 and a 77-degree field of view, and on the back of the device is a 13-megapixel autofocus camera with f 2.2/ and we get an 80 degree field of view. The maximum video recording resolution in the main camera is 4K at 30 frames per second, and the front camera also records at a maximum resolution of 1080p/30fps. There is no OIS in this collection, but both the main and selfie cameras of the phone support digital image stabilization during video recording. In addition to its main task, the selfie camera also uses facial recognition to unlock, which is considered the only biometric option for identity recognition in the Oppo Pad due to the lack of a fingerprint sensor.
Oppo to process in this tablet to the 7 nm chipset Snapdragon 870 is gone, which last year in China was days as an overclocked version of Chipset +Snapdragon 865 (which itself is an overclocked version of Snapdragon 865 was on display!) In Snapdragon 870 from 1 core of 3.09 GHz and 3 cores of 2.42 GHz (all with architecture Cortex-A77) and 4 cores of 1.8 GHz Cortex-A55 is used and its graphics is Adreno 650. This processor compared Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 cores present in Tab S8 Samsung It offers a world of difference and it goes without saying that the tip of the scale in this section will be completely in favor of Samsung. Oppo has given up on considering a 5G or even 4G modem for this chipset, and thus the Oppo Pad depends only on Wi-Fi for wireless communication with the outside world. The RAM of the device is 6 or 8 GB of LPDDR4X type and it has 128 or 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal memory. The memory slot is not supported in this model.
The battery of the tablet is an 8,360 mAh model, which has more capacity than the 8,000mAh battery in the Tab S8 and is powered by a 33W fast charger.
Among other options to be mentioned about Oppo Pad should mention the four speakers, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 and not only the jack There is no headset and NFC in it, but satellite navigation has no place in the connections of this model.
As mentioned at the beginning, Oppo Pad also supports the pen to interact with the screen; The 16.5g Oppo Pencil recognizes 4,096 different pressure levels and has a 240Hz sampling rate.
Oppo The pencil is magnetically connected to the tablet and is charged wirelessly. According to the manufacturer, this pen can continue to work for up to 13 hours on a single charge, which is considered a good number at this level. The Oppo Pencil has to be purchased separately, priced at 499 yuan (nearly $79 USD at current exchange rates) individually. A separate keyboard is also designed for this tablet, which costs 399 yuan ($63).
Oppo Pad with operating system Android 11 and a special version of the ColorOS user interface called ColorOS for Pad has been provided, which has some changes compared to ColorOS 12 for better display on the device’s large screen. The basic version of this tablet with 6GB/128GB memory has a price of 2,299 yuan ($364), and for the 8GB/128GB and 8GB/256GB versions, you have to pay 2,699 and 2,999 yuan ($427 and $475). This tablet entered the Chinese market on March 3rd (March 12, 1400) and details about the possibility and time of its presence in the world markets have not yet been published.

Right now, after 10 years of small, airline companies in Poland, tourists have sometimes difficult time to decide where to go for future holidays. Nothing weird in that, cause we have opportunity to see fantastic locations, not just in old continent, but also whole around the globe.
Which city is finest to select during next summer?
This amazing capital, even if it is not situated close to the sea, is really worth to be visited for holidays. Paris for American citizens for instance is the main metropolis of entire Europe, in here you will find the biggest amount of monuments. Art galleries, breathtaking buildings, plenty of cultural events, it’s impossible to be bored in here. When you wish to feel the true aura of old times, you shouldn’t miss a tour to the Montmartre, quarter and the name of a hill, that is placed in the middle. Back in nineteenth century it used to be an area, where plenty of popular artists used to live, such as Picallo, Chagall or even Hemmingway. Right now you may still see many of old coffee shops, in which those amazing people wish to spend their evenings.
Main reason why tourists want to spend future holidays in Barcelona is amazing architecture of Antonio Gaudi. At the beginning of 20th century this brilliant architect constructed a lot of astonishing mansions, which we are able to admire even today. The most famous is Sagrada Familia temple, amazing combination of Catalan and medieval style.
Next piece worth to be visited will be Casa Milla, medium size building that is in shape of sea waves. Also another reason why Barcelona is interesting for vacations is sea, this land is placed very close to the beach.
