Hitachi Capital to offer car allowance to graduates

Hitachi Capital is offering graduates that join its new graduate programme to be implemented in 2011 in its sales division a company car allowance as part of efforts to recruit the best talent.

A company car allowance will be given to all new joiners who try their hand at a career in sales at the finance and vehicle management firm from January 2011.

During their first year of employment, graduates will not earn commission but will receive an annual bonus, which will depend on their understanding of the business and level of competence. In their second year with the firm, graduates will earn both commission and a bonus.

Phil Peace, director of sales at Hitachi Capital, said: “The sales programme is to immerse [graduates] in the culture of the business. They work in other departments and get an understanding of the business before moving into a sales role.”

Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER. If you had unprotected sex, your chances for pregnancy are higher.  If you were dry humping and either one of you were wearing clothes.  Then sperm can not swim through clothes.  You can not get pregnant from getting fingered.

Mr Sante Righini

Sante Righini was born in Pisignano, Cervia, Italy on 19 November 1883. He was the son of Giuseppe Righini and his wife Gertrude and had an elder sister named Emma (b. 15 November 1875).

His sister Emma had come to the USA in 1895 and in 1903 married a Swiss-born insurance broker, Frederick Wenger (1868-1939). The couple had a daughter, also named Emma (b. 1905) and the family made their home at 265, 89th Street, Brooklyn, New York.

Sante later followed his sister to the USA, departing from Naples and arriving in New York on 3 December 1903 aboard the Palatia; at the time he was described as an unmarried labourer and was travelling to be with his sister.

Settling in Brooklyn, Righini declared his intention of naturalising as a US citizen on 30 November 1910; described as a valet, physically he stood at 5' 5", weighing 145 lbs and had brown hair, brown eyes and a dark complexion, stating his last foreign residence as Rome and his then current residence as 109 West 54th Street, New York City. Exactly when he came into the employ of Mrs John Stuart White is not certain.

Righini boarded the Titanic at Cherbourg with his employer Mrs John Stuart White, her maid Nellie Bessette and friend Marie Grice Young; the group travelled under joint ticket number 17760 which had cost £135, 12s, 8d.

Sante Righini died in the sinking and his body was recovered from the sea by the MacKay Bennett (#232):

CLOTHING - Black pants; grey overcoat, marked "Sante."

EFFECTS - Ring "R. S.," left on finger.

The remains were returned to Halifax, Nova Scotia and upon identification, the body was shipped to New York under the care of his brother-in-law Frederick Wenger. Contemporary reports state that he was buried in Evergreen Cemetery, New York on 4 May 1912 following a funeral service from his sister's home at 265 89th Street in Brooklyn. That same day a death notice appeared in the New York Times, presumably placed by his employer:

REGHINI(sic)---At sea, April 15, on steamship Titanic, Sante Reghini(sic), faithful and trusted servant in the employ of Mrs. J. Stuart White. Funeral at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Frederick Wagner(sic), 265 89th Street, Brooklyn, Saturday, May 4, at 2 o'clock.

His sister Emma continued to live in Brooklyn but later died in Philadelphia on 21 August 1959; Sante is commemorated on her headstone in Union Field Cemetery, Ridgewood, New York.

RS Components stocks graphic display controllers for development of HMI applications

RS Components stocks graphic display controllers for development of HMI applications

Product News Tuesday, November 27, 2018: RS Components SA

Johannesburg, South Africa, 26 November, 2018RS Components (RS), the trading brand of Electrocomponents plc (LSE: ECM), a global multi-channel distributor, has introduced two new graphic display controller ICs from Bridgetek that target the development of next-generation graphics displays for human machine interface (HMI) applications.

The BT815/816 controllers are the third generation of embedded video engine (EVE) devices. Delivering support for display, audio and touch capabilities, they enable engineers to quickly and efficiently design high-resolution displays and robust HMI solutions with a lower bill-of-material cost.

The innovative architecture used in the BT815/816 series can support adding display capabilities to a wide range of 8-, 16-, or 32-bit enabled MCU systems, over a simple SPI interface. Making use of an object-oriented approach to develop the final displayed image which is rendered line by line the EVE solution facilitates rapid development of static and animated displays with full touch control and no expensive frame-grabbing memory on the bill of materials.

New with the BT815/816 series is the addition of a dedicated Flash port, complementing the on-chip 1Mbyte RAM, for storing and accessing additional display assets without impacting system design bandwidth.

ASTC (Adaptive Scalable Texture Compression) decoding is also now supported, further extending the usability of available memory. The addition of this bitmap compression algorithm has enabled larger font tables, animations and other display objects to be applied more efficiently.

Both ICs have video playback capabilities and support graphics rendering for SVGA resolutions up to 800 × 600-pixel screens: the BT816 offers support for displays with four-wire resistive touchscreens; and the BT815 is designed for use with capacitive touchscreens offering multi-touch operation.

Other key features include: digital audio output pin, extended command set including the new Flash memory access, bitmap rotation around a user defined point, and Unicode string support.

Offering an operating temperature range from –40 to +85°C, series devices are packaged in 64-pin VQFNs.

The Bridgetek BT815/816 graphic display controller ICs are now available from RS.

We usually think of hormones as those related to our being, like estrogen and progesterone (female hormones) and testosterone (male hormone). But we have more than a few of these naturally occurring chemicals that help maintain balance in the body to achieve optimal health and function. Here is some information on how to check hormone levels when you need to make sure your body is in proper balance.

How to Check Hormone Levels

If you feel fatigue, moody, have poor sleep, hot flashes and experience skin changes, you may have imbalanced hormones and checking hormonal balances is vital. There are 4 types of tests that can be used to test hormone levels. Now let's take a look at all of them.

Urine Test

  • Accuracy

For how to check hormone levels, urine test is a well-established reliable method, especially in research. Furthermore, using a 24-hour urine sample is the most accurate and stable indicator of daily output that is not affected by hourly fluctuations in hormone levels, unlike salivary or serum hormone measurements.

  • Benefits

In clinical practice, measuring hormones from urine samples is less common than from saliva or serum, but it is a very common method used in research. A 24-hour urine sample is preferred for evaluating hormones that are produced at night (such as growth hormone and melatonin). It is also the most reliable way and economical method of assessing metabolites of steroid hormones.

Blood Test

  • Accuracy

For how to check hormone levels, blood or serum test provides a direct way of measuring hormone levels in your circulation. Hormone values are usually reported as “total”, which includes both your free hormones and bound hormones. Blood tests are relatively accurate within broad reference ranges. These hormone measurements offer a ‘snapshot’ assessment of your hormones, which may fluctuate during the day.

  • Benefits

Blood testing of hormones is an accepted conventional standard for measuring hormone levels. It is a relatively simple method and is ideal for testing FSH, LH, fasting insulin, prolactin, thyroid hormones, thyroid antibodies, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and cortisol binding globulin (CBG). However, except for testosterone, serum testing has limited usefulness for assessing sex hormones.

Saliva Test

  • Accuracy

Saliva tests may not have accurate results in elderly patients who have limited saliva output. Saliva tests may show your hormone is higher than normal levels when you are using hormone replacement. Single saliva tests provide a ‘snapshot’ assessment of hormones that fluctuate in a 24-hour period.

  • Benefits

For how to check hormone levels, saliva test is a simple non-invasive method. It is useful for monitoring cortisol levels according to your circadian rhythm. It can also be useful for assessing monthly cyclical estrogen and progesterone output in women.

  • How to collect saliva

You should collect saliva within 30 minutes after waking up and prior to eating or drinking, exercising and brushing or flossing your teeth. Read more on the Collection Instructions provided in your collection kit. To get accurate results, make sure your collection all tubes are filled with at least ½ to ¾ full, excluding the bubbles.

FSH Test

  • Accuracy

FSH levels fluctuate widely 10 years before menopause, so an FSH test does not provide an accurate measure of sex hormone production or an indication of the reproductive status of most women.

To conduct FSH test properly, blood must be drawn 3 times every 60 minutes beginning exactly at 8 am. FSH measurements are based on the average of these 3 levels.

  • Benefits

Symptoms of hormonal imbalance are similar to many other conditions, and its detection can be difficult without the proper tests. Early detection of hormone imbalance helps you take steps to correct it, relieve symptoms, and prevent progression of disease.

Recommended Timing for Hormone Check

Whether you are feeling hormonal or not, you have to find the right timing for a hormone level check and here are some guidelines for you.
  • Men can collect specimens for a hormone check-up at any time of the month.

  • Women who do not menstruate because of abnormal absence of menses during their reproductive age (amenorrhea) and those who have surgical removed their uterus or have endometrial ablation (destruction of their uterine lining) can have their hormone levels checked anytime.

  • Women with regular menstrual cycles must collect specimen samples on the 19th, 20th or 21st day after the 1st day of having period (day 1).

  • Women who have irregular menstrual cycles can collect specimens any time that they are not experiencing period.

  • Some women have some regularity in their periods but the lengths of their cycles are not typical. They may be advised to follow these guidelines for collection: Long cycles (e.g. 35 days) – test may be done at day 19 or up to 5 days prior to the date that the period is expected. Short cycles (e.g. 14 days) – test may be done two days prior to expected bleeding.

  • In order to get an accurate test, you may be required to fast, observe some dietary restrictions, limit physical activity, or reduce stress levels before taking these tests.

  •  If you are taking any medications, supplements, or herbs, tell your doctor about it. Inform him if you have had recent procedures done such as nuclear scanning.

UNESCO awards the use of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality based knowledge transfer solutions

A McKinsey report on Education to Employment, highlighted a paradox of two global crises – high youth unemployment rate and shortage of workforce with critical job skills (Ref 1). In 2013, the global youth unemployment rate was 12.6{0fab034ea82b07661647ea8532e9066bcdd529bddfd482414d4493f90063c904} – in real numbers, this meant 73.4 million young people were not gainfully employed. This rate is expected to increase to 12.8{0fab034ea82b07661647ea8532e9066bcdd529bddfd482414d4493f90063c904} in 2018. At the same time, the McKinsey report revealed that 58{0fab034ea82b07661647ea8532e9066bcdd529bddfd482414d4493f90063c904} of employers surveyed thought entry-level new hires did not have the necessary skills they needed. Such dilemmas are raising serious concerns for many governments. The Institute of Technical Education(ITE), is the leading education and training school for vocational skills in Singapore. Every year ITE educates and trains more than 25,000 students across 3 colleges in areas such as Aerospace and Marine Technology, Engineering Design and Manufacturing Technology, Hospitality Services, Service Innovation, and more.

Since 2013, ITE has selected to adopt EON Reality’s knowledge transfer platform in an effort to:
• Enhance students’ attention during classes
• Offer ‘hands-on’ practice in a safe and controlled environment
• Reduce the need for costly physical training equipment
• Enhance students understanding
• Improve learning retention through the use of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality solutions

ITE uses a range of scalable Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality solutions, enabling them to effectively deploy learning scenarios across a wide range of VR and AR systems – from large immersive rooms to mobile devices. For one example of a larger immersive Virtual Reality training system, see this video Feedback from the students showed noticeable changes in their mindset, practices and behaviors. With decreasing costs for 3D technology, there is strong potential for replication. Different scenarios, environment, and workflows can be created and developed, making the 3D VR-AR space highly applicable for skills development in diverse areas for future use. The applications are scalable as the developed apps can be deployed on different 3D platforms including mobile devices.

Rumor: Xbox 360 Finally Opening Up to Steamworks

| 9 Sep 2011 08:03

Microsoft's miserly hold on online content for the Xbox 360 might be loosening, if an option buried deep in Steam's customer support menu is any indication.

Valve has been pining for a way to get its digital content delivery system onto the Xbox 360 for going on a year now, and it might finally be getting its wish.

Of course, a buried menu option is far from anything resembling conclusive evidence, and neither company has as of yet made any announcement of any sort of deal allowing Valve's third party content supply onto the normally closed Xbox 360 platform. On the other hand, perhaps Valve snuck in a subtle clue to a deal being made late last month, and we just weren't paying attention.

Valve's major exhibit at this year's Penny Arcade Expo was a playable demo build of the upcoming Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. I had a chance to chat with one of the employees, who walked me through some of the new features of the game. One of these lauded new features was that the game was cross-platform, and that gamers on the PS3, PC, Mac, and Xbox 360 would all be able to play against and with each other.

Wait, hold up ... players on the 360 will be able to go up against PS3 players? Considering Microsoft's stranglehold on online content, that shouldn't be able to happen. Unless, of course, Valve and Microsoft had brokered some sort of deal allowing the use of Steamworks (Valve's home console version of Steam) on the Xbox 360.

Still, until one of the companies makes a formal announcement, the matter is merely speculation. If only there was some sort of immense gathering of industry giants and throngs of gamers coming up in six or so days, perhaps in a major Japanese city, at which to make such an announcement. Wouldn't that be great?

How to Gracefully Avoid Saying "I Love You, Too"

Don't explain. Don't blame your ex, your mother, your chakras. Don't catalog our flaws. Despite what you think, we're not going to fall to pieces. In fact, with one god-awful pause, you've upped your currency. Here's the thing about women: Reject us, we try harder. When the landscaper with the rugby thighs left me hanging--"You do? Really? Oh, wow"--I vowed to either make him love me or make damn sure he'd miss me when I was gone. Back rubs. Souffles. Sex in moving vehicles. A man after an unrequited "I love you" is one happy boy. But don't think we're going to put out forever. Your clock (not ours) is ticking. By the time Mr. Tree Surgeon dropped the L word, I was playing in another orchard. So tell her you care for her. Tell her you don't deserve her. And if none of that is true, give her what she really wants: cunnilingus. --LILI WRIGHT

Jockey Club Sessions Volume 11

Posted on March 27, 2014

For as long as we can remember, the Jockey Club on Salinas beach has been one of the most popular spots to hang out, grab some food and relax with friends, listening to some amazing tunes that range from chilled out to cool four-four beats, the man largely responsible for this col vibe is resident Lorenzo Al Dino. Picking up a Jockey Club CD as a memory of your time on the island is almost a rite of passage for travelers heading to the island and the good news this year is that the famous beach restaurant is set to drop a triple CD for 2014, *Jockey Club Sessions Vol 11. Featuring a mix that represents breakfast, lunch and cocktail hour in the cool beachfront venue, Lorenzo is joined on mix duties by Gelka and Bic Mic, offering a range of tunes to keep the Ibiza memory alive. As he gets set for another season of delivering long sets during the summer, Lorenzo talks about what we can expect from the new Jockey Club CD…

What can we expect from the latest Jockey Club CD?
First of all, this year sees us release a triple CD compilation, covering three times in Jockey Club, breakfast, lunch and cocktail, with a specific mix for each. Gelka, a rising DJ and producer from Hungary, provides the mix on the Breakfast disc, while Bic Mic, who has been responsible for the first three issues of the Jockey Club compilation has mixed the lunch disc and I have compiled a mix of my typical beach house sessions at JC for the Cocktail disc.

Is it typical of the music we hear at the beach?
Actually yes, we are presenting the feeling as what we believe beach music has to be.

How difficult was it making your decision on which tunes made the final mix?
I think for all of us, we go with the influences of our people and friends, the atmosphere of Jockey Club and of course our own taste. This year was not so easy, because labels offered us more resulting in around 600 tracks to listen to. Can you imagine how long we had to listen to all of them!

A mix CD is often the lasting memory of a holiday, how aware of this are you when you are deciding on the tracks?
Very aware, over the last five or six years it was my intention to invite established DJs and producers in the music industry as well as some new talent coming through and provide, during the season, some must save memories of Jockey Club.

What’s your favourite time of the day at The Jockey Club?
My favourite time at the beach is between 16.30 and 20.00, this is the time of day when I think people are most relaxed, they’ve had a great lunch and are maybe enjoying a glass of Sangria or Cava or nibbling on one of our famous fruit plates. It’s a great time to tale them on a musical journey with some four-four grooves.

What are you most looking forward to from Ibiza 2014?
Hopefully that we return to the roots of the island and of being music lovers, enjoying the island to the maximum without drugs and silly music parties, which has nothing to do with the original flair of this island.

Spending all day playing music on the beach, what do you do when you get a day off?
I stay at home and enjoy my terrace, have some friends over for BBQ but we are always talking about music, we never take a rest from that!

*Jockey Club Sessions Vol 11 is released April 18.

Large-cap growth stocks and focused dividend exchange traded funds have weathered the market uncertainty in 2012 in stride. Investors may be wondering if the success of dividend focused ETFs may be winding down or if it is just getting warmed up.

“Large-cap stocks have shown a very persistent improving trend of relative strength recently, and with the public investor so paralyzed in today’s investment world, we believe that it will be the large pools of money that recognize there is no better ‘safe haven’ than U.S. stocks,” Don Hays of Hays Advisors wrote in his blog. [Is the Dividend ETF Trade Overcrowded?]

Big growth stocks are also alluring because the liquidity that is innate in these companies cuts some of the investing risk out. However, high growth companies that are experiencing high valuations can be more sensitive to major market news, such as any negative news coming out of Europe, said Gus Zinn of Ivy Core Equity Fund. [ETFs: Innovation, 401(k) Plans and the Dividend Trade]

A strategy that some analysts back up is not to look for the highest yield, rather seek out lower priced stocks with dividend yields of 2%-3% and potential for the yield to grow, reports Rachel Konging Beals for MarketWatch.

“We view mega-caps as the new market leadership. Mega caps represent growth, quality, yield and big bases,” the equity technical analysis team at Bank of America Merrill Lynch said in a commentary.

Key sectors benefitting are consumer staples, health care (primarily pharmaceuticals), technology, consumer discretionary (primarily media) and telecommunications. [Dividend ETFs Benefit From Higher Payouts]

Here are a few large-cap dividend ETFs:

  • iShares High Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEArca: HDV)
  • iShares Dow Jones EPAC Select ETF (NYSEArca: IDV)
  • iShares Emerging Markets Dividend ETF (NYSEArca: DVYE)
  • Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (NYSEArca: VIG

Air Malta and Etihad Airways have expanded their code-share agreement to provide travellers with improved connections between Europe, the GCC region and Australia.

The two airlines extended their partnership to coincide with the launch of Etihad Airways’ service between Abu Dhabi and Rome this week. Air Malta is placing its ‘KM’ code and flight number on the new route, while Etihad Airways is placing its ‘EY’ code and flight number of Air Malta’s non-stop service between Rome and Malta.

In addition, Air Malta’s code and flight number will be placed on Etihad Airways’ services from Abu Dhabi to Australia for the first time, covering the UAE carrier’s existing flights to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, as well as Perth, which also launched this week.

The expanded agreement follows the success of Air Malta’s existing code-share on Etihad Airways’ flights between Abu Dhabi and London Heathrow, Brussels and Manchester.

Commenting on this development, Air Malta’s Chief Executive Louis Giordimaina said: “We are very pleased to enhance our cooperation with Etihad Airways, the flag carrier of the United Arab Emirates and one of the most important airlines in the Middle East. Both airlines share a firm commitment towards superior service and customer satisfaction, and this agreement will benefit the sizable Maltese community living in Australia as it will facilitate travel and connectivity between the Maltese islands and the Australian continent.”

James Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, said: “The launch of Etihad Airways’ flights to Rome and Perth this week has created an exciting opportunity to build upon the success of our code-share agreement with Air Malta. The two airlines have been code-share partners since 2010 and through our expanded cooperation, business and leisure travellers with benefit from improved connections to key destinations around the world.”

Reading Comprehension Questions

Reading Comprehension questions are designed to test a wide range of abilities that are required in order to read and understand the kinds of prose commonly encountered in graduate school. Those abilities include:

  • understanding the meaning of individual words and sentences
  • understanding the meaning of paragraphs and larger bodies of text
  • distinguishing between minor and major points
  • summarizing a passage
  • drawing conclusions from the information provided
  • reasoning from incomplete data to infer missing information
  • understanding the structure of a text in terms of how the parts relate to one another
  • identifying the author's assumptions and perspective
  • analyzing a text and reaching conclusions about it
  • identifying strengths and weaknesses of a position
  • developing and considering alternative explanations

As this list implies, reading and understanding a piece of text requires far more than a passive understanding of the words and sentences it contains; it requires active engagement with the text, asking questions, formulating and evaluating hypotheses and reflecting on the relationship of the particular text to other texts and information.

Each Reading Comprehension question is based on a passage that may range in length from one paragraph to several paragraphs. The test contains approximately 10 passages, the majority of which are one paragraph in length and only one or two of which are several paragraphs long. Passages are drawn from the physical sciences, biological sciences, social sciences, business, arts and humanities and everyday topics and are based on material found in books and periodicals, both academic and nonacademic.

Typically, about half of the questions on the test will be based on passages, and the number of questions based on a given passage can range from one to six. Questions can cover any of the topics listed above, from the meaning of a particular word to assessing evidence that might support or weaken points made in the passage. Many, but not all, of the questions are standard multiple-choice questions, in which you are required to select a single correct answer; others ask you to select multiple correct answers; and still others ask you to select a sentence from the passage.

New Band Feature - Literature Thieves

Literature Thieves are a three-piece band that recently released their debut EP “Moon Stories From The Glass Mountain” on Manchester’s innovative folk label Red Deer Club.

The current line-up features Angela Hazeldine, Amy Clarkson and Cassie Elwood.  On both the EP and at their live shows, they share vocal responsibilities and each of the girls have their own distinctive voice, which makes them stand out from the plethora of all-girl groups.

Their rather unusual name comes from Cassie’s habit of not returning books she’d borrowed from friends. Formed in 2011, they’ve built up a following in Manchester playing live and the link up with Red Deer Club is a natural fit for both parties.

Red Deer head honcho Dunk describes them as “three part folk-pop harmonic outfit” and very refreshingly for the music industry told us that “I signed them because they write good pop songs and I trust them”

Their song structures are relatively simple and traditional, but what this does is allow the vocal harmonies to shine through on each of the five songs on the EP.  Despite not using studio trickery and only using a mandolin and an acoustic guitar, they’ve produced a record with five very different pieces on it, ranging from the shorter than two minute lament to love They Say to the four and half minute Pears In The Orchard.   As you’d almost expect from the name of the band and the EP, there’s quirky lyrical references to moons, foxglove and pears in the orchard.

At their recent EP launch at Manchester’s new Takk café bar, they take the brave step of playing un-amped, putting their fragile sound to the test against the notorious gig chatterers of the Northern Quarter.  There’s almost silence through their nine-song set, which includes most of the EP, but also a song sung entirely in French.  What they also display in between songs is a sense of humour and camaderie that warms you to them as well and a love of wine and whisky.

EP lead track Waves That Weave is available as a free download from Red Deer’s website  and there’s a stunning Layla Sailor video to accompany it too
The EP can be bought on limited 10” single and download from there too.  There is a CD version of the EP which is only currently available at their gigs. You can also listen to the whole EP and download Waves That Weave from their soundcloud page Literature Thieves can also be found on Facebook and Twitter.

    Chefs Choice Tea Kettle Review by

    This is an amazing hot pot. I like it because it's small, turns off automatically, heats fast, and is light weight. Ideal for children or elderly or for anyone forgetful or weak of hand. I'm buying one of these Tea Kettles for my sister after using mine for at least 5 years with no problems. This recommendation is coming from a long time restaurant and resort owner.

Pet Memorials

On behalf of the staff at Exotic Animal Care, we are honored to pay respect to our beloved animal friends who have passed.  We also welcome you to create a lasting tribute for your beloved pet or animal friend on our website's Pet Memorial page. Please feel free to complete the following Pet Memorial Form in Adobe Acrobat format, which requires the free Acrobat Reader to view.

Download & Print Questionnaire

Dear Exotic Animal Care Center,

 My husband and I would like to thank your staff, Dr.  Michelle Jack, and Dr. Sara Wills for trying to save  our boa's life. Nergal fought as much as he could but  his disease has progressed quickly. Our animals are  our children. It breaks our hearts to have to  euthanize him. We know we are ending his suffering  in the most humane way possible. Thank you for  everything and I know the staff had lots of fun with  him. He was the sweetest snake ever. Never hissed.  Never bit anyone. Never showed aggression towards  anything, not even his food! haha! When we first  bought him from the tiny pet store, he had no  substrate and was almost hidden behind stacks of  substrate bags. When we brought her own, his new  home was ready for him. First thing that he did, was  dive his head into the substrate and then poking his  head out! It was the cutest thing ever! He didn't even need to acclimate. He ate right away! We gave him a very loving and nice home for the 1 1/2 years we had him. We fed him well and he shed nearly every month and gained lots of weight, that he needed to gain. He was loved by all and was help by people who were deathly afraid of snakes. He did well in public! Pretty awesome feeling when your snake can show people that snakes aren't all bad!

It was a very difficult 3 weeks for us and we hope we did the right thing and we hope that we can heal from this. We lost our beloved 12 year old iguana 3 years ago. We have other pets to spread our love to and hope to visit you again, but on better terms. Ya know? Dr Wills insured us we were doing the right thing. She told us as much as she could to make us feel better about our decision. We cried the entire day....

Thanks again, we will miss our dear Nergal. Means everything to us that your staff tried and that we did everything we could. We loved him up to the very last second.

Peter Rabbit was the most fun-loving and happy rabbit. He showed us there’s no limit to love. We cared so much for him. Dr. Kanfer restored his teeth to basically normal, she helped aid us in his bed rest because when we found him he had a broken pelvis. Time has gone by so fast. Our time with Peter was wonderful. He was super funny with a huge heart. Although I was not with him when he passed, I know his experience here was a great one. His bunny dances were the best. He encouraged happiness in this house. He’ll never be forgotten. I will love you forever pops. Caroline Quick

In Memory of CB

My friend CB died today.  She had been in ill health for quite some time and had lost considerable weight fighting these many illnesses, and her health struggle had no doubt weakened her and her immune system.   Her arthritis, for example, had advanced to where she had extensive difficulty getting up.  Earlier this year she had received radiation treatments to shrink a tumor that was compressing her heart and lungs.  In recent weeks we had to bring food to her and help her feed herself.  She was a fighter and fought hard.  But sadly, this morning she passed from congestive heart failure.

CB was more than a friend; she was also a mentor.  I learned much from her over the years I had known her.  She taught me about what’s really important when dealing with life’s issues and how to properly set priorities.  She showed me how to appreciate the simple things in life, and not to fret over the “small stuff” – and most importantly, how to tell the difference.  The simple things are the fundamental life forces that make us who we are, but the “small stuff” is trivia.

She taught me more about social dynamics than I ever learned from any other being.  She had a natural insight into social behavior, and I quickly found that one was well-served to observe her practice.  She chose her friends wisely, maintaining the attitude that life is too short to dwell on negativity.  She was secure enough to hug and snuggle those she liked, and sufficiently self-confident to reject those who would frustrate her.

She had a keen intelligence and an acute awareness of her environment.  She was most curious about everything around her, and she was forever exploring.  Nothing escaped her, for she wanted – and needed – to know.  She would thoroughly digest the newspaper, treating each section with equal eagerness and zeal.  Her vocabulary impressed everyone.  Her domineering personality was readily apparent to anyone who knew her, as she was quite headstrong, but in a nice way.  She knew her own mind.

She was continually mindful of her health and diet, and her frustration with her recent illness was quite obvious.  When she was healthy, she had been able to carefully maintain a balanced diet, preferring fresh vegetables and salad greens daily.  She kept herself very well groomed and was meticulous about her personal hygiene.  Even with her latest illness she was concerned with being presentable.

And she knew how to have fun.  Before her illness, she would kick up her heals and bring the whole room alive with her antics.  In her younger years she has been known to dance on the kitchen table!  She never took herself too seriously.

CB was a life force that enriched all who ever knew her.  Everyone loved her.  But now, as is the fate of all living beings, she has passed through Nature to Eternity, and we will miss her deeply.

Oh, did I mention that CB was a rabbit?  “CB” means Cute Bunny.

Just a few days ago, Apple revealed some new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro notebook models.

One of them is the new 15.4-inch MacBook Pro which has a 2800 x 1800 resolution display.

So how does Windows 8 look running on a notebook with such a high resolution screen?

 AnandTech.com installed Windows 8 on their new Retina Display MacBook Pro.

The article contains several screenshots showing Windows 8 running on the new MacBook Pro at the notebook’s top resolution.They said that text on the display is very small at that display setting and that raising the DPI scaling makes the text more legible.

They said booting of the system was very fast and Windows 8 was performing fluidy on the Macbook Pro.

It will be very interesting to see if any of the hardware vendors come up a Windows 8 PC which has a resolution similar to the MacBook Pro.

I would love to see Windows 8 PCs with a MacBook Pro like specs and performance. Windows 8 itself is very fast and with the right hardware it is capable of amazing performance.

What do you think?

TWIF 22: Servers Edition

This Week In F-Droid 22, Week 38, 2018 Feed

In this edition: Buildserver ready to upgrade to Stretch, SET Anti-Feature bug, hosted basebox images, pretty fdroiddata graphs, Rocket.Chat finally lands, and 68 updated apps including Mastalab.

F-Droid is a repository of verified free and open source Android apps, a client to access it, as well as a whole “app store kit”, providing all the tools needed to set up and run an app store. It is a community-run free software project developed by a wide range of contributors. This is their story this past week.

Buildserver upgrade to Debian Stretch nearing completion

@uniqx’s big buildserver update to Stretch has been merged, and has been successfully validated on @CiaranG has indicated that he is ready to update, so this will go live on our production buildserver very soon! This is a huge upgrade that we’ve been working towards for a long time. Once it’s in, it should be easier for us to add apps (less complicated recipes), and allow us to include more apps that we were previously unable to build.

SET Anti-Feature bug

We’ve had many reports that random apps started sprouting a mysterious “SET” Anti-Feature, sometimes even more than one! It is a mistake and should not be there. We are well aware of this bug now, so thank you for your all reports. ;) The fix is tested and just waiting to be deployed. You can read about the gory details in issue 565.

Basebox images hosted by Vagrant

We now have some pre-built basebox images up for you to play with! These are graciously hosted by Vagrant, and should make setting up your own buildserver a lot easier.

Fdroiddata statistics

@_hc has made some pretty graphs for you to look at! This is is a visualisation of our fdroiddata repository, which contains all our app metadata. It is interesting to see that the number of new files has been steadily rising, even though the total commits per year has actually gone down. This could well mean that we have gotten more efficient, according to @_hc.

It is scheduled to update once a week.

New apps

  • Rocket.Chat is in! We’ve mentioned this briefly in TWIF 16, and now @Bubu’s work is paying off even as he is on vacation.

    Note that the app is without push notifications right now, so you’ll have to enter the app to see if there’s anything new. The developers seem to be interested in exploring non-FCM push though. Maybe they can take inspiration from Tutanota’s solution.

  • Neural Network Simulator: Educational tool to learn about computational neuroscience and electrophysology

  • Aria2Android: With Aria2Android you can run a real aria2, an open source download manager, executable on your device.

  • Syncthing-Fork: File synchronization

  • BMI Calculator: Simple BMI calculator

  • Lobsters App: An app for

  • Checkup: A fork of the Fairphone 2 checkup app that has been modified in order to work on other devices as well. It allows you to test various components of your phone.

  • DroidTR keyboard: DroidTR IME (Turkish F/Q keyboard)

  • Soft Sound: Play relaxing sounds to help you sleep, concentrate or stay calm.

Updated apps

In total, 68 apps were updated this week. Here are the highlights:

  • Activity Diary lets you log and plan your recurring activities. In version 1.3.1 tracking of position was added (needs activation in settings and is not yet used for proposing next activities). Also added was a pie chart for statistics, simplified pausing: last finished activities get a higher priority, improved searching, and several bugfixes.

  • Tutanota enables you to send end-to-end encrypted emails to anybody with a tip of your finger. Version 3.37.1 will remember your language choice for external recipients, supports “cancel” and “confirm” hotkeys in dialogs, and has lots of bug fixes.

  • Featured Mastalab is on fire this week with 4 releases! Version 1.13.3 supports the Trunk API, which lets you mass-follow users by category, with just a few simple taps. Ideal for newcomers. Other new features:
    • Customize notification sound
    • Custom emoji in the main menu
    • Automatically expand hidden media (default no)
    • Long click on the compose button to pick up another account
    • Compact mode is now the default
    • Follow instance button can be hidden
    • Improved UX with more text
  • Markor, 1.2.0 is out. Your favourite markdown editor and TODO app now has launchers to directly open LinkBox/ToDo/QuickNote, context aware search for projects, preview for ToC and KaTex math, and improved markdown conversion, notably GFM-like table parsing and underlined h1. Read about even more improvements in the blog post.

  • LTE Cleaner (FOSS) had major updates this week, going from 2.3 to 3.1.0 in 5 releases! New features include a “one click clean” option, simplified filter options, an “aggressive filter”, Chinese (traditional) language support, and many smaller changes and bug fixes.

  • WaveUp: “Just wave your hand over the proximity sensor of your phone to turn the screen on.” Version 2.2.0 contains under-the-hood changes, converting the code base to Kotlin, and updating some dependencies.

Removed Apps

Family and Community Services FACS recognises that there is two types of internal painting – major internal painting and minor internal painting (decorative coat).

Major internal painting

Major painting is any painting where restoration or preparation of the walls is necessary. This includes:

  • surface preparation
  • sanding
  • applying undercoats.

Tenants will not be granted approval to undertake major internal painting – this can only be undertaken by FACS contractors.

Minor internal painting (decorative coat)

A decorative coat is one or two coats of paint applied to the wall surface only. Only pastel or neutral colours and 100 percent acrylic (water based) paint may be used. You are not allowed to:

  • use dark colours such as black, brown, red and purple
  • paint doors, ceiling or architraves
  • hang wallpaper or paint decorative friezes
  • undertake any type of preparation work, sand or apply undercoats as this is considered major internal painting.

How do I get approval to do minor internal painting work?

We will consider your application for minor internal painting for decorative purposes.

You need to get approval through your local FACS office. If your property is due to be painted under our Maintenance Programmed Works, you may not be allowed to paint.

It is important to keep in mind that if the property is scheduled for programmed works in the future it could be re-painted with our standard colours. In this case you will not be eligible for compensation if you’ve applied a decorative coat.

Can I claim back the cost of minor internal painting?

No. We will not pay costs for any decorative painting you do.

Do I need to meet FACS standards?

Yes. If a property inspection finds the painting does not meet FACS standards or you have done other painting without approval, you may be responsible for damage charges.

What guidelines should I follow?

You should follow the paint manufacturer’s guidelines.

Painting can be dangerous – to the person applying the paint and to all occupants.

As a minimum you should always follow the manufacturer’s advice about:

  • the handling and disposal of paint
  • undertaking work in well ventilated locations due to possible fumes
  • using ladders, and
  • protection of floor covering and your personal belongings.

Before painting, clean the walls with mild detergent diluted in water and make sure power outlets and switches are covered

Do not carry out the work unless you are competent to do so.

Why can’t I do major internal painting?

Major internal painting should only be done by qualified tradespeople organised by FACS, so the work meets certain standards and guidelines, including fire safety.

This includes surface preparation, sanding, applying undercoats or any other activities which affect the integrity of the surface.

Always contact your local FACS office prior to commencing any painting.

How do you decide which properties receive major internal painting?

FACS does annual compliance assessment surveys to identify properties which require maintenance, including major internal painting. We then prioritise and schedule these works as part of our Maintenance Programmed Works. We will tell you if major internal painting is scheduled for your home.

Man seriously injured following 'major incident' at Bradford play centre

Here's the latest information on the incident. No customers required hospital or paramedic treatment.

A children's play centre was closed yesterday afternoon following a 'major incident' inside. A police cordon was put in place inside The Alphabet Zoo play centre.

Just after 4.30pm on Tuesday 31st July, West Yorkshire Police were called to reports of concern for the safety of a man in Cemetery Road, Bradford.

Details of exactly what happened in the incident or how the man entered the premises have not been confirmed by either the police or the play centre.
However, a statement from West Yorkshire Police states that: "Officers attended and made continued efforts to detain the male but he then fell from a balcony.

"He was taken to hospital where his condition is described as serious but is not believed to be life-threatening."

There had been some initial confusion about whether or not customers at the play centre had been injured in the incident. In their statement, the police confirmed that "No one else was injured during the incident".

The statement went on to say: "Due to the nature of the incident it has been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct."

In a statement on their Facebook page, Alphabet Zoo said: "An unfortunate but serious incident has taken place at Alphabet Zoo. We are sorry to all our customers who were affected by the incident directly or indirectly.

"It was however an incident above and beyond our control. We can report that this incident is a police matter now and will be fully investigated in line with their procedures.

"We wish to also state for the record that this is an exceptionally isolated incident and contrary to rumours none of our customers received injuries requiring hospital/paramedic treatment.

"Alphabet Zoo wishes to assure everyone that it will continue to serve its customers providing a safe, enjoyable and secure environment for adults and children."

It has not yet been confirmed when the play centre will reopen.
