When President Bush nominated John Roberts for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and he was confirmed, I was extremely pleased as I believed him to be a man of integrity and common sense who would look out for the interests of the American people and defend the Constitution against all comers. But with Judge Roberts´s Obamacare Decision, evidently prompted by some arcane interpretation of semantics, he singlehandedly burdened three hundred and fifty million people with an unworkable, impractical, economy-destroying piece of legislation the slugs on Capitol Hill passed without even reading, the most nation-changing piece of socialistic corruption to come
Rumor has it that the adoption of his two Irish children through a different country was the blackmail. If widely known, it would mean Roberts would have to resign from the Supreme Court E-gads! That would create an opening for Bammy to appoint another nutty liberal. I´d just as soon keep Judge Roberts. No idea if any of this is true but it is being talked about.
Charlie Daniels is a decent man and a fine musician but he got this one wrong. Chief Justice John Roberts did our country a favor by ruling like he did on Obamacare. President Ulysses S. Grant once said that he knew of no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution. Roberts apparently agrees.
When Roberts said that it’s not the job of the Supreme Court to protect people from the consequences of their political choices, he was telling the truth. Elections have consequences, and elections are on us. When Roberts said that Obamacare was a tax, he was shining the light of truth on a dark Democratic Party lie.
What John Roberts really did was hasten the downfall of progressive socialism. Between now and the midterm elections, Big Brother is going to reach out and slap millions of people awake. Obamacare is going to cause a very large number of people to become very unhappy. That anger will have consequences in 2014 and 2016. Thanks to John Roberts.
The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances.
I guess John Roberts missed that last line of the 1st amendment.
#8 gives the man too much credit for brains. A terrified FATHER(spot on #6) does what he is told, not what his heart tells him to.
Brandon Crouch reported the death of his grandfather, Trinity Broadcasting Network founder Paul Crouch, on Twitter and Instagram. TBN has posted an announcement to its Facebook page and a bio on its website. This blog post will be updated as more information becomes available. Paul Crouch and Jim Bakker founded TBN in 1973. Earlier this year the network celebrated its 40th anniversary. TBN would become the world´s largest religious network. Paul left behind wife Janice Bethany Crouch and sons Paul Crouch Jr and Matthew Crouch (not biological). Paul´s granddaughters Brittany Crouch Koper and Carra Crouch are involved in litigation with the network. Before working in
The political left is always harping about extreme weather and global warming. It goes together, like Red Bull and Vodka, for these people. They can’t talk about global temperatures anymore since the UK Meteorological Office reported in October 2012 that they’ve stagnated for the past 16 years. So, they’ve pivoted towards extreme weather. Mother Jones posted a story last September about a study from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that linked extreme weather to global climate change. Yet, NOAA posted Monday that the 2013 hurricane season was its calmest in 30 years. Additionally, we’ve seen the quietest tornado season in
Right now, humanity is engaged in an epic battle against fast-adapting and merciless predators. No, zombies are not beating down doors to tear chunks of flesh out of the living. Rather, humanity is being hunted by deadly pathogenic bacteria that have gained resistance to antibiotics. And thanks to the peculiar incentives that drive the pharmaceutical industry, it looks like the cavalry may be a long time in coming. To understand the current state of the antibiotics market, we have to go back millennia. Humans have co-existed with bacteria throughout our history. They live in our bodies from birth to death. It’s estimated
Ka-ching! Little Miss Moneybags. Probable Dem presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is lugging home big simoleons these days. ? To wit: Sneed hears rumbles that Hillary may have outstripped her loquacious hubby Bill in the speech department by taking home a hefty $450,000 fee for addressing the Chicago Mercantile Exchange’s Global Financial Leadership Conference last week in Naples, Fla. The Trotter story . . .
Philadelphia – Mayor Michael Nutter was joined by other city leaders Monday evening in an attempt to stop the so-called “Knockout Game” from spreading to Philadelphia. Nutter was joined by Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey, as they discussed the so-called game in which a person is randomly assaulted, while another person films it with their phone or other device. With cases reported in other U.S. cities, including New York, Mayor Nutter says the city is working to stay ahead of the problem, but needs parents to do their part. “This is not a game. You can seriously injure or possibly kill someone. Your child’s
The Associated Press and Al-Monitor kept US-Iran nuclear containment talks secret until after they had reached their conclusion this past weekend. The AP claims they didn´t run with the story because they couldn´t get he White House or State Department to confirm the secret talks were occurring: The AP was tipped to the first U.S.-Iranian meeting in March shortly after it occurred, but the White House and State Department disputed elements of the account and the AP could not confirm the meeting. The AP learned of further indications of secret diplomacy in the fall and pressed the White House and other officials
True story. A couple of years back, I was walking home at night on North Capitol Street here in Washington, D.C., when two dudes randomly assaulted me before running away without stealing anything. At the time, I didn´t think it was all that strange—I´ve lived in urban areas all my life, and plenty of people I know have been victims of anonymous street crime. The good news is that urban crime rates have been trending downward since I´ve been about 9 years old, so we´re making important progress in this regard. The weird thing was that after I blogged briefly about
Some news organizations are refuting the existence of an alleged phenomenon known as the "knockout game" that has been the subject of media warnings in recent weeks. According to reports by CNN, the Today show, USA TODAY and others, the game takes place when young people randomly assault strangers in an attempt to knock them out with one punch. The attacks are leading to arrests, more officers on the streets and warnings for vigilance among the public, law enforcement officials and victims advocates told USA TODAY. In New Haven, Conn., police spokesman David Hartman said police are investigating six incidents
The National Science Foundation spent $82,525 on a one-year grant to study on the self-defense of bioluminescent millipedes. “Animals use myriad strategies to avoid predation -- camouflage, spines, and toxins are among a few. Animals that are toxic, inedible, or otherwise noxious often advertise this by a warning signal, for example the yellow and black stripes of a yellowjacket or the rattle of a snake,” the award abstract said. “Bioluminescent millipedes, known only from California, are defended with cyanide and their green-blue glow is hypothesized to be a nocturnal warning signal,” the award abstract added. “In this project, the evolutionary relationships of millipedes
More than 20 percent of the 14-year-old boys in the United States have been diagnosed at some point in their lives with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to a newly released study by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The study also said more than 20 percent of 11-year-old boys had been diagnosed with ADHD at some point in their lives. The study indicated that American boys were 125 percent more likely than girls to be diagnosed with ADHD, and that boys were 127 percent more likely than girls to be medicated for it. 13.3 percent of American 11-year-old boys are being
"Iran´s Nuclear Triumph" roared the headline of the Wall Street Journal editorial. William Kristol is again quoting Churchill on Munich. Since the news broke Saturday night that Iran had agreed to a six-month freeze on its nuclear program, we are back in the Sudetenland again. Why? For not only was this modest deal agreed to by the United States, but also by our NATO allies Germany, Britain and France. Russia and China are fine with it. Iran´s rivals, Turkey and Egypt, are calling it a good deal. Saudi Arabia says it "could be a first step toward a comprehensive solution for Iran´s nuclear
Everyone who thinks they know all the aspects of the Iran deal raise hands -- Secretary Kerry, put your hand down. I have no idea whether this is a good deal, a bad deal, or no deal at all. I hope it is a good deal and I hope it leads to a safer Middle East and, thus, a safer world. But I don´t know. This deal was brokered by what is known as the P5+1. That is the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council (U.S., France, Russia, China, and France) plus Germany which, as we mentioned before, lost World War II
A Republican strategist is reminding his party that President Reagan is dead. Ford O´Connell, who worked on Sen. John McCain´s (R-Ariz.) 2008 presidential campaign, says if Republicans want to win the White House in 2016, they need to break free of the "obsessive Reagan disorder." Rule #1 of the political analyst´s newly released book, "Hail Mary: The 10-Step Playbook for Republican Recovery," is: "Ronald Reagan is dead. Accept it." Such a sentiment is sure to be tough to digest for a party insistent on using the 40th president´s legacy as a GOP litmus test to prove conservative credentials. "The Reagan fixation is a drag
Jeffrey P. Bezos has never been known for thinking small. And in an interview aired Sunday on CBS´s "60 Minutes," he outlined his latest plan for revolutionizing the retail industry: using drones to deliver packages in as little as 30 minutes. Declaring himself an "optimist," the Amazon.com founder and chief executive predicted the technology could be brought to market in as little as five years. This is more than a theoretical idea. Bezos showed CBS´s Charlie Rose a working prototype of an eight-rotor helicopter drone called an "octocopter." Emblazoned with "Amazon Prime Air," the flying robot has a claw at
Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) said on MSNBC’s “PoliticsNation” Wednesday that when Jesus fed five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two fish, “he didn’t charge food stamps.” “When Jesus had those five loaves and two fishes, he didn´t charge food stamps. He didn´t ask anybody how much money they had. He fed them because they were hungry, and that´s really where we ought to be,” McDermott said in response to Republican critics of the SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). In September, the House approved a plan by Republicans to cut $39 billion in food stamps over the next
An education official at a Texas high school is under fire after telling some female students they have been dressing like ‘hoes.’ According to KRIV Fox 26, School Support Officer Dr. Tameca Richardson made the remark to female students at Jack Yates High School in Houston during an assembly on campus. A spokesperson for the Houston Independent School District confirmed the language used by Richardson, the station reported. Some parents expressed anger over Richardson’s terminology, saying the Ph.D.-level educator should have used language that was less offensive. "That was out of line and she should be disciplined for that,"
MIDDLETOWN, Del.- Remembering the plot of a short story is no longer good enough in teacher Amy Lawson´s fifth-grade classroom. Today´s students are being asked to think more critically. For example, what might a character say in an email to a friend? "It´s hard. But you can handle this," Lawson tells them. Welcome to a classroom using the Common Core State Standards, one of the most politicized and misunderstood changes in education for students and their teachers in kindergarten through high school. In 45 states and the District of Columbia, Lawson and and other teachers are starting to use the standards
Gov. Chris Christie’s “bizarre behavior’’ in refusing to say he’ll support a possible GOP challenger to Gov. Cuomo next year could derail his chances to become president, state and national GOP insiders have told The Post. “Christie already has a problem with many Republicans refusing to forgive him because of his embrace of [President] Obama and his socially liberal policies,’’ said a nationally prominent GOP operative. “But this bizarre behavior in suggesting he won’t help a Republican defeat a Democratic governor, and a Cuomo no less, could finish off his chances of becoming his party’s nominee for president in 2016,’’ the
In the US we are used to abortion advocates claiming that the risk of elective abortion is relatively trivial, and major medical organizations denying any link between abortion and breast cancer. Now a powerful new study from China published last week by Yubei Huang and colleagues suggests otherwise. The article, a meta-analysis pooling 36 studies from 14 provinces in China, showed that abortion increased the risk of breast cancer by 44% with one abortion, and 76% and 89% with two and three abortions. This new article is another example of the recent excellent scholarship on abortion in peer-reviewed journals coming out
Senior officials in the White House have said that Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu “is desperate and weak,” in reaction to Netanyahu´s remonstrations against the deal struck with Iran over its nuclear weapons program. Israeli television Channel 10 quoted the officials as saying “His pronouncements show a lack of self-confidence,” in an unusually harsh personal attack on Netanyahu. “We are not perturbed by his vocal opposition.”
A push by activists to ease the 30-year-old blanket ban on blood donations from gay and bisexual men faces a key test this week as a federal panel hears results of the latest research. The findings will be released amid growing pressure from politicians and advocates, including college students, to change the policy. Critics say the ban is a hangover from the early, fear-filled days of AIDS, stigmatizing gay men and ignoring advances in treatment and detection in the decades since. Supporters of the policy say politics, not science, is driving the proposed change, which would heighten the risk of
President Obama completed an ambitious fundraising schedule for Democrats in November, but many of the congressional candidates he is trying to help are finding their election prospects next year imperiled by the president’s faulty health care law. Several polls in the past week have shown congressional Republicans pulling even or slightly ahead of Democrats in generic balloting for the midterm elections, a swing of at least 10 percentage points in less than a month. Pollsters attribute the seismic shift to the series of glaring flaws in Obamacare, most of which came to the public’s attention after the program’s rollout Oct.
Former Obama advisor David Plouffe appeared on This Week With George Stephanopoulos Sunday morning and predicted that President Barack Obama’s approval rating would rise over the next few months, following the increasing functionality of the Affordable Care Act. “This has been a tough task,” Plouffe said. “It’s not just health care. The shutdown affected everybody’s confidence in government. But let’s fast-forward to the State of the Union and the months after that. Health care working better, a lot of people signing up. The economy continuing to strengthen. Hopefully no Washington shutdowns.
So the troubled site apparently now works 90 percent of the time. That should be good news for Obama—but the question is whether Obamacare will get the mass enrollment it needs. HealthCare.gov finally works. Now people just need to use it. The error-plagued website, which was supposed to be the portal for Americans seeking to buy health insurance through the exchanges set up by the Affordable Care Act, is finally approaching basic functionality two months after it went online. In a report released Sunday, the Department of Health and Human Services breathlessly announced that the website now functions more than 90 percent of


To avoid waste, use all the solution according to label directions. Do not dispose of pouch containing dry ingredients with food or water. In the event of a spill of dry ingredients, take steps to avoid runoff to come into contact with combustible materials, acidic solutions, skin, or clothing. An unused pouch containing dry ingredients must be treated as toxic waste materials and must be disposed of in accord with federal, state, and local regulations. Contact EPA, state, or local environmental agencies for current disposal instructions. Discard empty packaging and spent pouch in an outdoor refuse container.


Wireless networking systems can allow businesses to quickly establish the infrastructure that their computer needs will require. In the past, this would always require the installation of cabling throughout the building, but improvements in wireless networking solutions have mitigated this need without sacrificing performance.
Use Boosters to Improve the Signal Strength Throughout the Building
Depending on the size, design, and materials used in your building, there may be some areas where the wireless signal may struggle to reach. These areas can experience intermittent connection interruptions or a person may be completely unable to connect to the wireless network from these areas. Luckily, this is a fairly simple problem to address as there are signal boosting devices that will greatly extend the functional range of your wireless system.
Consider the Security for Your Wireless System
Network security is always a concern when your business is making decisions about the IT infrastructure that keeps its computers and work terminals functional. Failing to adequately secure a wireless system can be a common mistake that businesses will make, and this could potentially leave their networks open to attacks and intrusions. For a business owner that is not particularly technically literate, it can be advisable to work with a wireless network solutions contractor to install and configure these components. They will be able to ensure that the wireless network is fully secured so that the risk of an unauthorized intrusion is kept as low as possible. This may also include monitoring software that will allow you to log each connection to the network, which can be useful for determining whether any unauthorized connections have occurred as well as the actions that were taken during this connection.
Use Load Balancing for Areas Where Many Devices Will Need to Connect
There can be some areas of your business where there may be a large number of computers or other equipment that will need to connect to the network. This can lead to congestion in these areas, which can reduce the transfer rate for the network as well as contribute to other performance issues with it. To combat this problem, your business can install load balancers that will be able to distribute this activity evenly among several wireless network connections. While this may increase the complexity of your networking system, it can reduce issues with the network slowing during periods of high activity, as this could degrade worker performance or even lead to connections being dropped.

Equipped with a 12-inch Retina display on the slim body than the Air
This time did too much perhaps? This is the review of "MacBook" with only USB-C port.
A new "MacBook" is the notebook, which strongly-condensed its Apple-style. There are a lot of features including a high-definition 12-inch Retina display, external interface, fanless-designed, has Core M processor, low-cut keyboard, and the touch pad that sense the pressure intensity.
On the other hand, I am so interested in if it's enough to have only USB-C port or I get any stresses with only Core M processor or not. For this time, I would like to review with using the model of 1.1GHz Core M processor with 256GB SSD.
The new model of MacBook(gold-model) that released in 10 May 2015. Its body is slim than 11-inch of MacBook Air that has a Retina display.
It's slim and light! It equipped the three varieties of color as an iPhone.
It has been a long time no see the notebook from Mac. And this MacBook will be a new series. In the past, there are the same names of models that have polycarbonate body or aluminium body, but the design had totally changed to be a brand new model. Let's check the box and the contents.
Because the MacBook itself is very compact and slim, the box is also small and thin. I tried the gold model and the box has the golden logo as well.
The contents are also very simple like the other Apple products. There are adapter, 2m of USB-C charge cable, manual and the logo stickers.
MacBook of box and its contents.
I have not check yet but the other colors model may have the stickers which are as same as their body colors.
MacBook has the wide 12-inch LCD display. Its dimension is 280.5(W)×196.5(D)×3.5-13.1(H)mm and weigh 920g. It's definitely smaller than 13-inch model of MacBook Air or 13-inch model of MacBook Pro Retina display model.
To compare with 11-inch MacBook Air model, MacBook's width is shorter because it has thinner bezel. The weight is also 160g lighter.
The weight of iPhone 6 Plus is 172g so it can say that the MacBook is as lighter as one smartphone. The quadrate edge is smoothly curved as the MacBook Air and it seems much thinner than the specs that written on the data sheet.
But because its appearance is compact and slim, you'll feel heavy when you hold it.
Its strength is the worry thing because of its slimness, but once you hold its aluminium body, you could feel its strength.
It doesn't sag in the middle even I push the closed body, and it doesn't kink like I become anxious even I hold the edge of the display.
The bottom of the keyboard side is also hard and solid. Its design is very similar to the MacBook Air but the Apple mark does not lighten, and it finished like the mirror. There are silver and apace gray colors other than the gold color. And MacBook is the only model that has the color variations in the current model.
The color I tried for this time is as the color as iPhone's calm gold color. If you are iPhone user, you would like to choose the same model color. And it seems very smart and beautiful.
When you laps over 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display model(Late 2013), you can see MacBook's slimness obviously. And when you look it from the side, its figure is as same as MacBook Air's wedge shape.
It gets Retina display that satisfies iPhone/iPad users
MacBook is the pronoun of Apple. It has a high-definition of Retina display and its resolution is 2304×1440 (226ppi).
The aspect rate is 16:10. When LCD makes a high resolution, it is necessary to increase the brightness of the backlight to keep its lightness. Since the power consumption is increased if you raise the brightness, so that the battery life will be shortened in the case of laptop.
Therefore, MacBook expands its aperture in the pixel to be able to use LED backlight, which energy efficiency is 30% higher than the other Mac display by raising the transmittance of light. It's all about both high-definition and low power consumption.
When I compared to the 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina display model (Late 2013), which I usually use, the brightness does not seemed to different so much but the contrast is much better.
A viewing angle keeps 178 degrees. The letters are sharp and easy to read, and you can enjoy your photos and movies with high image quality.
Though the part of display is extremely thin but no one would feel unsatisfied with its quality.
Battery life is officially up to 9 hours. It did not measures by JEITA way but raise the display's brightness up to 75% (click 12 times from the lowest) and see and measure from the typical website.
Actually, I changed its brightness to 75% and input the text, see the photos and open the webpage by Safari. And then I used it normally for 2 hours (the battery was charged fully). But the battery runs only 22%. It seems I could use up to 7-8 hours.
12-inch model of Retina display's resolution is 2304×1440(226ppi). Its display quality is very high and the letters are so clear to read easily. You can enjoy your photos and movies with high quality.
Comparison with 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina display model(Late2013). To see the upper left of the cloud part in the wall paper, MacBook one has the higher contrast.
The bottom is also simple and clean. When I see carefully, I could see the screws which are same gold color as its body color were used.
For a new keyboard and touch pad, you will get conned by its appearance and touch?
To make the thinness of 3.5 ~ 13.1mm possible, they also improved the keyboard.
This new keyboard doesn't wobbling even it's very thin because of the butterfly-construction but as you see, its stroke is very barely. So people who typing strongly would feel as if you touching the bottom and it seems to hard to get used to it. Still, when I asked some people who are my team to try this, most of them answered they felt easy to typing than they thought.
Compare with MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, one of the point is the each keys became bigger. The space between the keys are very narrow but the key itself is curved so the fingers fit them and able to tying naturally and comfortably. Anyhow, people have their taste for keyboard so you better try at the shop.
Set up an each LED under the keys to tone down the leakage of the lights so that the letters could be clearer. Make an arrangement of an energy efficiency and it is the back-light that focused on the beauty of an appearance.
The speaker is built-in the upper keyboard.
An area of the keys increased 17% so the space between the keys became narrow, so there are vanishingly space.
As you see, the stroke is very short. You need to get used to it, but it is not the level of "can't use". However, it's up to your taste. I think you should try first before you decided.
There is a "pressure-sensitive touch track panel" on the laptop. The existing "track pad" sinks when you click, but this pressure-sensitive touch track pad cannot press downward. It's just a glass plate.
Even so, if you try to operate, you will be able to feel you really clicking.
You can also hear the sound of clicking. It tells your finger the false-clicking by "Taptic Engine" which has been used with "Apple Watch" that will be released on 24 April. And this is pretty real that I should explain. You could know if this is the false one especially when you turned off the power. Once you turned off the power and click the track pad, you cannot feel any clicking or hear the click sound.
The good things of the pressure-sensitive touch track pad are, it could senses everything when you click anywhere on the trackpad surface and it can recognize the strong clicking. When you click the address stronger while you using the mail, you can see the map to check up the place.
It can also support the multi-touch gesture such as scroll or swipe like Mac.
It has become a hot topic immediately after the announcement, the MacBook's external interface is only USB-C and headphone. So this USB-C port is the only one that support all the connecting the devices, exchanges the date, video-out and a power delivery.
In the first generation MacBook Air debuted in 2010 was the time when eliminate the LAN port, modem, optical drive and give only one USB port were considered to be acceptable. But in MacBook. And it has become a further drastic design in MacBook. By the way, USB Type-C is the latest pattern that released last year.
In reversible shape features that can be connected up and down regardless, since than typical USB Type-A compact, it is also contributing to thinning of the body. USB version should be "USB 3.1 Gen1", but the maximum transfer speed of data is 5Gbps with USB 3.0(the maximum transfer speed of USB 3.1 is the same as Thunderbolt 10Gbps).
USB PD could be able to support the devices which need 5V, 12V and 20V, and it supply maximum 100W.
But actually there are just a few corresponding equipment and it's more inconvenient scene than the convenient scene so it cannot say only USB-C port will cover all.
But there are many equipment to connect to USB Type-A.
You need to think whether you use the adapter to scan the photos from the digital camera or use from wire-less LAN.
It's fine if you using "AirMac TimeCapsule" to back up but it's hard with external HDD. You need to think MacBook user do not need to use USB.
USB-C connector. It is the reversible form and compact.
It has USB-C port on the left side. Only USB-C port supports all exchange the data, connecting with other equipment and power supply.
It equips the headphone output on the right side and the dual microphone on the left side. You need to pay attention to the "MagSafe 2" that use the magnet connector. USB-C's connector is firmly cemented so you cannot remove by one hand. However it can connect from any side, but you need the action of stick into the port.
I was made to realize how convenient it is with using the MacBook, that sticking the connector to the port just put it closer to the port.
And since there is no LED that inform in charge, it may cause that you forget to plug the power adapter into the outlet and charge.
To use USB equipment, you need the optional adapters. For Apple, you need "USB-C-USB Adapter"(USB), "USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter"(HDMI, USB, USB-C) and "USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter"(analog RGB, USB, USB-C).
It is 29W USB-C power adapter and USB-C charge cable. It is wall mount type and extended cable is not included.

Thirteen is a lucky number for Pasadena, which just acquired the 13th California outlet of the Taiwanese bakery cafe 85°C.
In case you’re not familiar with this chain—until now the closest branches were in Torrance and Gardena—the name indicates the perfect temperature for hot coffee. This leaves out the bakery cafe’s most famous beverage, sea salt coffee, which is served iced. The salt is in thick cream on a base of strong Guatemalan coffee. You shake it up before you drink. If you’re not a coffee drinker, you can have sea salt green tea.
85°C is in a new building that replaces a parking lot at the corner of Fair Oaks Avenue and Green Street. It’s lined with windows to let in the morning sun; there’s a wooden communal table, cheerful accents of warm color, and plenty of space to handle crowds. On opening day, the line to get in ran down Green Street, reminiscent of the humongous wait when the first American branch opened in Irvine in 2008. No one suffered, though, thanks to trays of free coffee sent out by the café.
Inside, the staff was busy loading fresh bread and pastries into serve-yourself compartments. All branches herald the arrival of a new batch with the shout “fresh bread,” which starts a frenzy as shoppers rush to get the latest thing.
Specialties include marble taro buns, egg custard tarts and chocolate bowls, which are huge buns filled with chocolate chips and coated with sugar. Walnut tarts are stacked so high with nuts you wonder why they don’t topple over. Pumpkin strudel and cranberry Danish are on hand now.
Savory stuff includes what may be the oddest bread in town—calamari sticks. They’re small round buns colored black with squid ink, stuffed with mozzarella cheese and topped with garlic spread.
Cakes have their own section, where you’ll see a taro brulee cake composed of chiffon layers with taro filling and vanilla crème brulee and a spectacular mango crème brulee cake along with the usual tiramisu and Black Forest cakes.
Founded in Taipei in 2004, 85°C will open its 14th California branch in November, in San Diego. We’ve heard that Taiwanese customers consider the breads and pastries in California better than those in Taiwan. That’s because milk and butter are superior here. In Taiwan they’re not as important. After all, you don’t mix dairy with dim sum.

| Ankhef Mummy |
|Status||XIth Dynasty Man|
|Date(s)||12th Dynasty; 11th Dynasty|
|Site||Excavated/Findspot - Asyut|
|Location||The British Museum|
Ankhef was a middle-aged man (at least 45 at time of death), and was also an official at Asyut. Ankhef was generally healthy, although he suffered from osteoarthritis in his spine and left hip. He was discovered with a headrest placed next to his head and it is assumed that this was one of his personal possessions. Various funerary texts decorate his coffin in order to assist his entrance into the afterlife.
Once Ankhef became a mummified body, he was bandaged, and wrapped in a shroud, or funerary cloth. His mask which covers his head and shoulders was the final element to be to be added to his mummy. Ankhef's mask was made of car tonnage, which is a moulded linen stiffened with plaster. His mask is meant to represent the face of the deceased, and was not an actual portrait. The mask of Ankhef was created to display how the deceased would appear in the Afterlife, therefore was painted with the "golden skin of a divine being."
Ankhef's soft tissues have disappeared and his disorganized skeleton is is a result of the disappearance of the ligaments, capsules, etc.

Orlando City (13-6-8, 47 points) vs. Columbus Crew FC (13-8-6, 45 points)
When: Saturday, 7:30 PM
Where: Exploria Stadium, Orlando, Fla
Last Time Around
Orlando City and the Columbus Crew last faced each other in May earlier this year, where the Lions saw a second-half comeback backed by former Orlando City forward Ercan Kara and rookie striker Duncan McGuire. The match resulted in a 2-2 draw and marked the Lions’ third-straight unbeaten match against the Crew.
Where We Left Off
The Lions return to the pitch after a two-week international break with their last match resulting in a win against FC Cincinatti, with Facundo Torres serving as the match's lone goal-scorer. Torres tallied his 11th goal of the season and his fifth game-winning goal. With the win, the Lions have now gone undefeated across all four matches since their return to regular-season play after competing in Leagues Cup 2023. They have taken victories from Chicago Fire FC, St. Louis CITY SC and FC Cincinnati while earning a draw against Charlotte FC.
During the September FIFA window, three Lions received the nod to represent their native countries during the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, with another Lion joining his national team for Concacaf Nations League. Lions' goalkeeper Pedro Gallese and midfielder Wilder Cartagena received call-ups to represent their native Peru against Paraguay and Brazil. Forward Facundo Torres joined the Uruguayan national team to represent La Céleste against Chile and Ecuador, while forward Wilfredo Rivera joined Puerto Rico for their Nations League matches against the Bahamas and Antigua & Barbuda.
Back at It
Saturday’s match will jump start three games in a nine-day span for the Lions as they face a quick turnaround for Wednesday’s match against New York City FC at Citi Field in Queens. Upon the conclusion of that match, the Lions will travel back to Exploria Stadium where they are set to host intrastate rivals, Inter Miami CF on Sunday, Sept. 24.
Welcome to the City Beautiful
The Lions will play their first match at Exploria Stadium since August 26 when they took a 2-1 victory against St. Louis CITY SC thanks to a brace from Facundo Torres. Orlando City will welcome the Columbus Crew to Central Florida for the first time in the 2023 campaign, with the match serving as their second encounter of the year. City is currently unbeaten in 10-straight matches at home across all competitions, a Club record, and will enter Saturday’s match looking to extend it.
- Orlando City is one regular-season win away from 100 all-time in Major League Soccer.
- Facundo Torres is currently tied with Dom Dwyer for fourth on Orlando City’s all-time scoring charts. Torres’ next goal, his 25th, will tie him with inaugural MLS captain Kaka for third in Club history.
- Mauricio Pereyra’s next assist will give him double-digit helpers in three consecutive seasons. Pereyra has 44 career assists for Orlando City, 18 more than the next closest player.
- Oscar Pareja is two wins away from 60 as Orlando City’s Head Coach.


Rain formation explained:
This is a query which often comes to mind when, either we experiencing precipitation in our lands, or facing drought and are in a dire need of some kind of water relief.
Now two things to remember here is:
First, warm air has more capacity to hold water vapor than the cold one. Analogically, it is like, dissolving sugar in a hot cup of water is easier than the mild one.
Second, According to laws of physics, the hot fluid, being less dense than the Mild one, rises above the latter. While the latter takes the place of the former. The cycle takes place in a circular fashion. This process is known as convection current.
Below we look at some of the understanding in brief the scientists have built till now using weather related researches and experiments.
What happens is: when the solar radiation produces heat over the oceans, rivers or lakes, the water molecules on the surface there gets evaporated into nearby hot air. Sure, the evaporation process increases, if the wind blows fast on the oceanic surface.
The air high-up in the atmosphere is cooler than that nearer the sea level because sun rays are absorbed more at the earth crust than at the troposphere. It is measured that as you go up on higher altitudes, the temperature decreases by approximately 7c for every 1 km ascent.
READ MORE: HOW HURRICANES DEVELOP?
The hot humid air, according to the principles we have laid down in the beginning, rise to higher altitudes. In the elevation process, it faces cold temperatures of the upper atmosphere and its vapor holding capacity diminishes. When the rising air temperature is reduced enough such that the escaped water vapors start to condense into water droplets, cloud formation begins. The critical temperature, which begins the cloud formation process, is called dew point.
Of course, not every cloud rains, because the water droplet formation is not enough for a precipitation- unless they combine into millions of big water drops- which are heavy enough not to keep floating anymore in the air.
Rain at mountain peaks:
In mountainous areas, the gigantic peaks obstruct the blowing path of the warm moist air. In such a case, the air is bent to flow up in the atmosphere. At reaching higher altitudes, it cools down and the water vapors condense into water drops, forming clouds. Rain pours down for some time and the remaining drier air again blow downwards, in which case the water drops again gets evaporated. The cycle repeats the whole day.

Our world is an amazing place and since 1973, we have dedicated June 5th to celebrate and acknowledge our beautiful planet. The main focus of this day is to raise awareness of the importance of a healthy and green environment. Air pollution, poor water quality, and unsustainable practices with farming and consumption are just some of the issues we see everyday in the news and other media. As individuals who call Earth home, it is up to us to solve the environmental issues which we hear about all too often. Through simple and effective actions, we can all join the race to make the world a better place. Below are some unique and efficient ways to make our lives eco-friendly as we prepare to celebrate World Environment Day.
As World Environment Day approaches, it is important to get outside and participate in saving our planet. Tata & Howard took initiative in the 17th annual Charles River Earth Day Cleanup in Dedham, Massachusetts. Volunteers from the company, along with 3,000 others, picked up trash along the Charles River and made a positive impact on our local environment. Everyone is encouraged to volunteer and get involved in their local communities. Visit https://www.volunteercleanup.org for local volunteering opportunities and meet some great people along the way.
Say Bye to the Bottled Water
Keeping ourselves hydrated is one of the healthiest things we can do for ourselves, but choosing bottled water may cost the environment far more than it does our wallets. Each year, 17 million gallons of oil are used in the production of bottled water. With a gallon of bottled water costing four times more than a gallon of gasoline, it is worth the thought to give tap water a chance. Here at Tata & Howard, we recognize that carrying and refilling our own water bottles with tap water is an important step in saving the environment. Drinking tap water keeps our water dollars local so that our communities can fund water improvement projects and other important water initiatives. Only one percent of Earth’s freshwater is safe for human consumption so its up to us to keep it clean and use it efficiently. For more information on reasons to choose tap water over bottled water, see the downloadable infographic below.
Be Mindful of Food Waste
The annual amount of food waste in the US is enough to feed one billion hungry people in the world. This food waste often ends up in landfills packed tight and covered in trash. Although most food is biodegradable, it does not biodegrade when it is piled with trash and other non biodegradable substances. Therefore, if biodegradable material is sent to a landfill, it becomes part of the problem. The best way to avoid this is to be mindful of the food we buy and consume, and to try to change our buying habits so that we waste less food. When we do need to dispose of food, the best way to do so is by composting. Composting is an excellent way to recycle unused food scraps back into a healthy environment in a controlled way. Some communities have local composting programs but it can also be done at home, even indoors.
Lack of understanding about expiration dates is also a large contributing factor to food waste in the US. Expiration dates refer to a product’s quality, not safety. We can help extend the life of perishables by keeping them at the proper storage temperature, and extra food should be donated to food banks BEFORE it reaches expiration, as food banks cannot accept expired food. Tata & Howard practices strong philanthropy by donating both food and money to local food banks to help feed everyone efficiently. On June 5th, Tata & Howard encourages everyone to go through their pantries and donate to a local organization for people who need it. Not only will it help save our environment, but will also help the local people in our own communities.
Come Together and Travel Smart
For many people, riding a bicycle or walking to work may be impossible, but there are other excellent ways we can reduce our negative impact on the environment and get where we need to go. Carpooling is a great option. Coworkers who ride to work or lunch together not only help the environment, they also enjoy quality time which leads to team building and a more positive work environment. On our off time, it makes sense to combine all of our necessary errands into one trip. Taking one big trip to get groceries, dry cleaning, and drugstore items can greatly decrease our gas emissions that pollute the air and water in the environment. Americans in recent years have begun to drive less and use other means of public transportation or physical exercise. This trend is exactly what we need to better our planet. On World Environment Day, Tata & Howard encourages everyone to practice eco-friendly transportation. Even if it is only for one day, it will make a difference.
What to Take Away
Our world is awesome but it is not perfect. Our actions of pollution and unsustainable practices are the main contributors to the very real problems that we are currently facing. Actions taken today do make a difference and the more people we can get on board to help the better. On this World Environment Day, let’s all take time to lend a helping hand to our planet. It is up to us as individuals to take action and better our environment. Taking small steps and making an effort to improve the world in which we live is important not only on World Environment Day, but every day. Even if it is a small step, it is still a step in the right direction.
Happy World Environment Day!

New Moderna vaccine to be sole option for 3rd booster shot
The Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) says Moderna's second-generation coronavirus vaccine will be the only option for people planning to get a third booster shot.Eligible recipients must take the shot a minimum of three months after their second booster. The statement comes after the CECC announced that it expects to take delivery of doses of the updated Moderna vaccine by the end of the month.
According to centre spokesman Zhuang Ren-xiang, Moderna's second-generation vaccine will initially be reserved for vulnerable groups, including seniors aged 65 and above, and adults aged 18 and above with compromised immune systems.
The second stage of the rollout will cover individuals aged 50-64, those aged 18 and above who need to travel overseas, as well as individuals whose work places them at a higher risk of infection.
Figures show that about 6.79 million individuals will be eligible for the updated Moderna shots - and that includes 2.83 million in the first stage and 3.96 million in the second stage rollout.
This comes as the CECC reported 36,707 new coronavirus cases on Tuesday, of which only 314 were imported infections. Health officials say 16 previously reported cases have now been listed as severe, while 33 others have developed moderate symptoms. Twenty one new deaths were reported. The deceased ranged in age from their teens to their 90s.
All but one suffered from chronic illnesses or other severe diseases, and eight were unvaccinated. The CECC expects the daily load to increase by about 5,000 this week.
It also expects to report around 40,000 new coronavirus cases per day over the coming days as more cases of the Omicron BA.5 subvariant are reported.


NASA rocket built in Huntsville to launch next week
Monday could be a big day for engineers at the Marshall Space Center in Huntsville. NASA’s new moon rocket is poised for its maiden flight.
The rocket is nicknamed Artemis One. Its mission to make a 42-day unmanned flight around the moon to test the new booster also known as the Space Launch System or SLS.
The rocket was designed and managed by the Marshall Space Center in Huntsville. It builds on the older space shuttle by using a combination of larger solid fuel boosters and liquid fueled engines.
If the test flight of Artemis One is successful, it could pave the way for astronauts to land on the surface of the moon for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972.

Many vendors and users have a vision of additive manufacturing becoming a “Factory of Tomorrow.” These visions are not all the same. But at some point, soon, additive manufacturing (AM) will be a key feature in factories. The trend is already developing, with many of the major vendors building AM facilities where you can send your parts for quote and then build.
At the formnext show in Frankfurt during the week of Nov 16, Concept Laser presented its new machine and plant architecture for its factory of tomorrow concept.
According to Concept Laser, the modular integration of the machine technology into the manufacturing environment is possible thanks to a new approach in the design of process components. Ultimately, this makes faster and more economic industrial production solutions available. This vision will soon be reality: Concept Laser has announced a market launch as early as the end of 2016.
A consensus view of the features and capabilities AM equipment needs to operate within manufacturing has focused on: “more laser sources,” “more laser power,” “faster build rates” or “expansion of the build envelope sizes.” The machine technology was viewed as a “standalone” solution without integration into the manufacturing environment. Build job preparation and build job process proceeded sequentially.
With a new machine architecture, developers at Concept Laser look to expand the usually quantitative sections with new, qualitative aspects. “In essence,” says Dr. Florian Bechmann, Head of R&D at Concept Laser, “it is about splitting up build job preparation/build job follow-up processing and Additive Manufacturing in any number of combinable modules. With comparatively large build envelopes, build jobs can be carried out with a time delay. The intention is that this should drastically reduce the “downtimes” of previous stand-alone machines. There is plenty of potential here for improving the level of added value in the production chain. In contrast to purely quantitative approaches of previous machine concepts, we see here a fundamentally new approach for advancing industrial series production one step further.”
The new concept of an “AM Factory of Tomorrow”
At present, regional printing centers are being created as service providers all around the globe. This development is characterized by the transition from “prototyping” to a desire for flexible series production at an industrial level. The AM users experience the pressure of traditional manufacturing: demand for space, expansion of the machinery, increasing operating tasks and in particular times.
In the new concept from Concept Laser, production is “decoupled in machine terms” from the preparation processes. The time window for AM production is increased to a “24/7 level,” meaning that there is higher availability of all components. An automated flow of materials palpably reduces the workload for the operators. Interfaces integrate the laser melting machine into traditional CNC machine technology, as is important for hybrid parts, for example, but also into downstream processes (post-processing / finishing).
Decoupling of “pre-production,” “production” and “post-processing”
The new plant architecture is characterized essentially by decoupling of “pre-production,” “production” and “post-processing.” This includes among other things flexible machine loading and physical separation of the setting-up and disarming processes. The objective here was to coordinate the process components in a more targeted way with interfaces and increase the flexibility of the process design to create an integrated approach.
This approach becomes possible thanks to a consistent modular structure of “handling stations” and “build and process units” which, in terms of combination and interlinking, promise greater flexibility and availability. It will also be possible to handle the present diversity of materials better, and ultimately more economically, through a targeted combination of these modules. For example, in future the machine user will be able to use the modules to precisely “customize” the production assignment in terms of the part geometry or material. All in all, the level of efficiency and availability of the production system will be markedly increased, along with a significant reduction in the amount of space required. Simulated production scenarios have shown that this space can be reduced by up to 85% compared to the possibilities that exist at present. In addition, the laser power per meter-squared is increased seven-fold.
Dr. Florian Bechmann says: “The build rates have increased enormously thanks to the multilaser technology. The build envelope sizes have also experienced considerable growth. We now want to use an integrated machine concept to highlight the possible ways that the approaches of Industry 4.0 can change Additive Manufacturing as the manufacturing strategy of the future. There is plenty of potential here to increase industrial added value and enhance suitability for series production.”
Solutions from the factory building kit – the modular process station
The process station shown has a build envelope of 400 x 400 x >400 mm3. Laser sources, process gas management and filter technology are integrated in the module, and the layer thicknesses are within the usual range. In addition, the machine solution has a variable focus diameter and will be available optionally with 1, 2 or 4 laser optics with a laser power ranging from 400-1,000 W. An available redundancy of the lasers will ensure that, if one laser fails, the remaining three lasers will still cover the entire build plate – the build job can still be completed.
Dr. Florian Bechmann says: “More and more laser sources only increase the expected speeds to a limited extent. But ultimately they also increase the level of complexity and dependencies, which can result in vulnerability, and thus turn the desired positive effect into a negative.”
Solutions from the factory building kit – the modular handling station
The new handling station has an integrated sieving station and powder management. There is now no longer need for containers to be used for transportation between the machine and sieving station. Unpacking, preparations for the next build job and sieving therefore take place in a self-contained system without the operator coming into contact with the powder. But what also makes a modular handling station attractive is the specific configurations: A handling station can be linked to two process stations to create a “manufacturing cell.” The factory building kit also enables several handling stations to be joined together to create a material preparation facility and be physically separated from the process stations.
Combinations of modules from the factory building kit
The new factory building kit boasts three types of modules: process module, dose module and “overflow” module, which are offered in different heights. There is a direct link between these modules without the use of any pipes or tubes and their identification through RFID interfaces. Accordingly, the result is a reliable flow of materials with high material throughputs along with great flexibility when there is a need to supply different types of materials for the build process.
“In the future,” says Dr. Florian Bechmann, “we think that AM factories will be largely automated. The transport of material or entire modules can be envisaged as being done by driverless transport systems. This could then be the next step in the development. Additive Manufacturing can be automated to the maximum extent.”
New type of 2-axis coating process
The new machine concept has a new type of 2-axis coating system, which enables the return of the coater to be performed in parallel with exposure. This results in a considerable time saving during the coating process.
The coater blades, optionally made of rubber, steel or carbon, can be changed automatically during the build job. This results in several advantages according to Dr. Florian Bechmann: “An automated tool changing system, as is the case with CNC machine technology, promises a high level of flexibility, time advantages when setting up the machine, and reduces the level of manual intervention by the operator. We deliberately talk here about ‘robust production’.”

I am very behind in updating our travels from this summer. August seemed like a whirlwind! We first had a lovely week in Barbados, then Scott went to the US for nearly two weeks, and then Scott's mom and brother arrived a day after Scott returned for a week's visit. It was a busy time to say the least - going from single parent duties with a jet lagged child to preparing, hosting, cooking, etc. for visitors. By the time September arrived, I was ready for another week in Barbados! Luckily we had a great time in the sun while we were there, so we really enjoyed our trip and made the most of the rest and relaxation at the start of the month.
We went to Barbados to attend the wedding of our friends Beth & BJ who live in London. They had a destination wedding so we decided to make a week's vacation out of it. It was terrific. Not only was the resort lovely and beautiful, but the guests who were attending the wedding were all there for more than just the weekend, so we had a nice time meeting their friends - half of whom were from the UK and half of whom were from the US (and mainly Chicago). Scott & I commented that it felt like our two worlds - our UK life and our US life - were coming together in one place, so we really enjoyed it. Crosby probably loved it the most because she was the only baby who was in attendance for the vacation within the crowd of wedding attendees. To say she received a lot of attention, was an understatement! Luckily she was well behaved and relished in all of the cooing over her.
Our little beach baby! Hanging by the pool on our first afternoon on the island.
Our first full day in Barbados. Scott & Crosby on the balcony of our room at the resort.
Ahh, our lunch view every day....
And my favorite lunch sandwich I had a few times on the island - a flying fish sandwich. Apparently the flying fish is a local favorite and it was tasty!
How Crosby spent her days...on a beach chair, topless, with her stuffed animals. What a life!
The stretch of beach on which the resort was located is apparently one of the nicest on the island. Apparently Beyonce & Rihanna were walking on this very beach the second night we were there. Fancy, right?!?
Although Crosby liked the beach chairs, the ocean was clearly not her thing!
She was even a sport and hung out at the poolside bar with Mom & Dad during happy hour...
But clearly she partied too hard and was asleep by dinner time!
Another day of too much partying on the island for this little babe!
While Scott enjoyed some reading on the balcony of the room, Crosby snoozed in her stroller like a perfect baby.
Swimming in the pool was most definitely one of her favorite parts of this vacation. She loved her little inner tube floatation.
Even without the floatation, she loved the pool.
Such a pretty sight every day.
Relaxing just like Dad under the couch cabana chairs.
The new Mr & Mrs - BJ & Beth at their lovely wedding ceremony near the beach! Congratulations to the happy couple - we were so glad to be there to celebrate!

Star Entertainment Group Limited Signs Shareholder Deal
Australia’s ongoing difficulties with attracting overseas high rollers to casinos may just have a new solution. The Star Entertainment Group has just signed a shareholder deal with two foreign investors based in Hong Kong, namely Far East Consortium International Limited and Chow Tai Fook Enterprises Limited. These firms acquired a 4.99% stake in the casino operator, worth $245 million each. These stakes could increase to 10%, but anything higher than 4.99% must first be approved by local regulators.
If these development firms ring a bell, it’s because they are partnered with Star Entertainment to develop the Brisbane Wharf casino project. This deal is reportedly a move to tempt Asian high rollers to visit Australia. By inviting other Asian gamblers to their casinos, the gaming firm is further expanding on their warning against depending on Chinese gamblers.
Marketing Strategy for New Star Entertainment Partners
According to reports, the new partnership will combine their efforts for a ‘marketing alliance.’ This alliance will aim to tempt VIP players from Asia to visit Australia. However, it might be a while before anything is settled on that front. For the moment, Far East Consortium and Chow Tai Fook Enterprises will need to apply for permission to increase their stakes in Star Entertainment.
What’s more, they will need to work with the existing board to start having an impact on business decisions. Of course, they will also need to keep an eye on the ongoing Brisbane project. So, it looks like 2018 will be a busy year for these investors. Should they get the go-ahead, more plans are on the way.
Star Sydney Expansion
On top of their other interests, plans for more ‘mixed-purpose towers’ at The Star Sydney are also in the works. Once that’s in place, the partners could look to further expansion in New Zealand as well. So, keep visiting our site for updates on this story and other gambling industry news.

SponGES team member Paco Cárdenas (UU) just secured a 3-y grant along with co-applicants Sunithi Gunasekera (UU) and Chamari Hettiarachchi (University of Colombo, Sri Lanka). The grant, awarded by the Swedish Research Council in the frame of Swedish VR linkage initiatives, focuses on the biodiversity and chemodiversity of Sri Lankan marine sponges – and aims to explore opportunities for new pharmaceutical applications deriving from such yet understudied species.
The grant will notably fund three PhD students from Sri Lanka, and travel between Uppsala and Colombo. Furthermore, the grant will partially fund equipment to be acquired by the University of Colombo, and will support a workshop in Sri Lanka – on Systematics, Genomics and Natural Products of sponges.
One target species of the project is Cinachyrella hirsuta, collected in Sri Lanka in 1887 and never recorded since. The team hopes to re-discover and further study it. Good luck!

Commercial Grade Warehouse Wireless
Making Wi-Fi Work in Hostile RF Environments.
In large warehouses, getting wireless to function as it's supposed to can be next to impossible. Between huge areas filled with metal racks, a myriad of handheld Wi-Fi devices, moving vehicles, constantly-changing environmental conditions, and no pervasive Ethernet network, connectivity is an enormous challenge.
But ZoneFlex is uniquely suited for this interference-filled environment. It offers warehousers:
- Industrial-strength Wi-Fi that provides longer-range signals that can be steered around obstacles and interference
- More flexible deployment options with Smart Mesh Networking that eliminates the requirement to run Ethernet cable to connect APs
- Ubiquitous Wi-Fi coverage with fewer APs, for lower CAPEX
- Indoor and outdoor Smart Wi-Fi APs that are managed as a unified system
- Centralized control of ZoneFlex Smart Wi-Fi APs
- Powerful, yet simple controlled guest networking capabilties
Automatic interference avoidance with BeamFlex.
Integrated into every Smart Wi-Fi access point is a sophisticated high-gain directional antenna system, which constantly focuses and directs Wi-Fi signals over the best performing paths. This is essential in hostile RF environments where obstacles, interference, and noise wreaks havoc with wireless systems.
No more deployment hassles—thanks to Smart Mesh Networking.
In warehouses spanning 70,000 to 200,000 square feet or more, there are few options for placing APs where they're needed. Smart Mesh Networking is a solution to this problem, letting warehouse IT staff deploy APs where coverage is needed most—without having to pay for and pull Ethernet cabling.

It is understood that the talented Melusi did not see eye to eye with the show’s producers, which saw him ditching the telenovela to pursue other opportunities. On Gomora, the Melusi Dlamini character is a principal at a local high school, and married to a celebrated social worker, Gladys (played by Thembi Seete). Melusi is a strict father who expects a lot from his son, Ntokozo (Ntobeko Sishi) who lives to impress and get validation from his father.
A source who works on set said Xaluva has his own high standards, and he knows what he wants and is not scared to confront producers if he is not comfortable doing something, and that some people would confuse his confidence for arrogance. Another source said his frank attitude on several issues rubbed some powers the wrong way.
“Producers have been trying to get rid of him, but MultiChoice (which owns DStv where the show is broadcast) refused to let him go citing a rating effect. They eventually gave the producers the o ahead to kill off Melusi. He is a brilliant actor, but the are things producers won’t tolerate”, said the source.
Gomora publicist Linda Matsolo confirmed that Xaluva’s character will soon be off the show. Xaluva, who turns 40 in the next two months did not respond to questions. He becomes the second biggest act to leave the telenovela after Israel Matseke Zulu left the show to focus on his health.
Meanwhile, Gomora star actor, Buyile Mdladla’s contract was not renewed.

Ghanaian youth midfielder Edmund Addo was in superlative form for Moldovan side Sherrif Tiraspol when they recorded a shocking 2-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday evening.
The 21-year-old was handed a starting role by Tiraspol manager Yuriy Vernydub and he dazzled in the middle for the home side who scored in either half to record an emphatic victory on the opening day of the group games.
Addo, a former player for Senica from Slovakia, recorded the highest passing accuracy in the game with a completion percentage of 94.7% and the joint-highest tackles and interceptions.
Adama Traore steered in a 16th-minute volley before Momo Yansane headed home midway through the second half.
Sherrif is in the same group as Real Madrid, Inter Milan, and Donetsk.

Every night before Aaron’s bedtime, we read stories together as a family. He gets to pick any two books of his choice, and Steve and I each read one.
Recently, story time evolved into “Stories in the Dark.” Several weeks ago, Aaron wanted to turn all the bedroom lights off, and have us tell stories rather than read books. When asked what subjects he wanted the stories to be about, he said, “Ice cream and balloons.” So I told a story about ice cream, and Steve told a story about balloons. This is now the nighttime ritual. We get to make up stories, and exercise our imaginations as we spin tales of animals, airplanes and adventures.
The thing is, Aaron somehow got it into his head that the topic of poop is the most entertaining. So now we have to create stories around poop. More specifically, he has been wanting stories about monkeys throwing poop. SIGH.
I get to end the day with my son by making up some tale that starts like this, “This is a story about Bob the Zookeeper and his crazy poop-flinging monkeys…”
At least I’m getting good material for my future as a children’s author. I’m currently taking poop illustration submissions.

India Falls In The Most Dangerous Zone For Zika Virus And We Can Thank The Dengue Mosquito For It
Zika virus is the latest vector borne disease that is threatening mankind's existence.
Zika is a dengue-like fever which, though not as deadly, can cause severe health related issues in babies born to infected mothers.
Though there have been no confirmed Zika cases in India yet, the disease now enjoys pandemic status in many South American countries and a few American cities, among other places.
The most common issue showing up in babies whose mothers are infected by Zika is microcephaly - where the head is much smaller and not well developed.
But if the disease is not here, why are we so paranoid?
Well, that's because we are one of the countries that is almost entirely susceptible to the disease, for two reasons.
Firstly, because our climate puts at risk.
Reports show that the Zika virus is like a heat-driven missle. The hotter it is, the more effectively the mosquitoes are able to spread diseases.
Secondly, because of dengue.
India is one of the countries where Aedes Aegypti - the mosquitoes that transmit both Dengue and the Zika virus are extremely prevalent.
Here's a map showing countries showing where you can find the mosquito (Red) and where you can't:
Almost our entire counrty is in the Red zone and given the frequent endemics of dengue, we really can't rule Zika out!
For now all we have to say is that stay safe and keep your surroundings free of garbage and mosquitoes.

District administration all set for counting votes on May 23
All necessary arrangements have been made for counting of votes of the 17th Lok Sabha election on May 23, said returning officer (RO) of inner Manipur parliamentary constituency, Naorem Praveen during a press meet held today at his office at Lamphel DC complex.
Speaking to media persons, Praveen, who is also Imphal West DC and DEO stated that the preparations are made with strict adherence to the guidelines of the Election Commission of India (ECI) to prevent any room for manipulation.
He asserted that eight counting centres will be set up in the DC complex for the counting of votes. Out of the eight, seven centres will be specifically used for counting votes in EVMs and the remaining one will be utilised in counting votes from postal ballot and Electronically Transmitted Postal Ballot System (ETPBS), he added.
The counting will commence at 8 am and postal ballots will be counted first as it has to undergo pre counting activities like checking and verifying the bar codes. However, the election observers will report on duty at 5 am on May 23. The counting of votes sealed in EVMs will begin 30 minutes later; he pointed out and stated that the counting will be held in the presence of election observer, RO under the supervision of AROs.
The RO, IMPC further noted that a minimum of 10 tables and a maximum of 14 tables will be used for counting the EVMs. In order to maintain transparency, the carrying out of EVMs from strong rooms to the counting halls will be video recorded and CCTV cameras have also been installed along the passage, he added.
Lastly, he observed that the whole counting process may be finished by 5 pm.
Taking part in the press meet, SP, Imphal West, K. Meghachandra intimated that the Imphal West DC complex will be guarded in three different levels of security on the counting day. At the first layer, the DC Complex will be cordoned off from 100 metres away and more than 500 police personnel are already deployed round the clock in three different shifts, he said.
To ensure smooth conduct of the counting and to avoid any disturbances, three companies of Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF), two teams of anti-terrorist squad and various quick reaction teams and mobile teams have been deployed. Moreover, 18 additional locations were identified apart from existing strategic locations where security forces will be deployed till the completion of counting, he stated.
Meghachandra also cautioned that arms and ammunitions, sharp weapons and inflammable substances are strictly prohibited inside the office complex.
He also appealed to the political parties, candidates and workers not to create public nuisance and not to use loudspeakers during victory procession. He also urged them to respect mandate of the people and not to instigate any violent activities if the people’s mandate do not come in their favour.
Traffic police, SP Khoisnam Sarma also notified that there will be traffic diversion on the day of counting. Vehicles coming from Khwai Bazar side shall divert towards RIMS and Khamlangba bridge via village lane from Canteen Leirak crossing except the vehicles of candidates, election agents, counting agents and vehicles having car pass. Vehicles coming from Khamlangba side shall divert towards Khwai Bazar side except the vehicles of candidates, election agents, counting agents and vehicles having car pass.
