Show Description

Retro watch styling and nothing to hold you back, not even a headphone cable. The vívoactive 3 Music stores up to 500 of your favourite songs and plays them over Bluetooth so there are no cords to get in your way. The latest-generation Elevate optical heart-rate monitor reads your pulse information straight off your wrist. GPS and an internal accelerometer track training metrics like speed and distance information, turning your movement into data and making sure you get credit for your work in the gym and on the trails. Pairing it with the free Garmin Connect app on your smartphone opens up a whole new set of features: review activities, receive notifications, control phone apps like music players or VIRB cameras. Follow daily highs and lows by tracking stressors (monitoring your heart-rate variability). When stress levels are high, a relaxation timer walks you through steps to reduce them. Monitoring your activity and heart rate 24/7, Garmin’s tech learns your activity level and guides you towards a healthier lifestyle.

  • Built-in activity modes for biking, running, walking, swimming (indoor only), strength training (with rep counter), and more.

  • Optical heart-rate sensors measure changes in blood volume under the skin and work best when worn snugly, 1 to 3 finger-widths above your wrist bone.
  • Broadcast of your HR over ANT+ (so other devices can pick it up).

Fox & Friends hosts a QAnon conspiracy theorist who has claimed the Parkland mass shooting was fake

Fox & Friends hosts a QAnon conspiracy theorist who has claimed the Parkland mass shooting was fake

Blog ››› ››› ALEX KAPLAN

Fox & Friends provided a platform to a man who has repeatedly pushed the QAnon conspiracy theory, including sharing a post that claimed the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL, was “fake” and that student survivors of the shooting are “actors.”

During the August 24 edition of Fox & Friends, the show hosted Jason Fyk, who was identified as an entrepreneur, along with Fyk’s attorney to discuss Fyk’s lawsuit against Facebook for “unlawfully silencing people … for its own financial gain.” During the interview, co-host Steve Doocy praised Fyk for using Facebook to build a business and pursuing “the American dream,” while Fyk compared himself to YouTube personalities Diamond and Silk, citing the duo’s false Facebook censorship claims.

The show -- which President Donald Trump consistently watches -- did not disclose that Fyk has appeared multiple times on Infowars, the far-right conspiracy theory outlet that has been banned from multiple tech platforms for violating their hate speech and harassment policies. On his own Facebook profile, Fyk has also repeatedly promoted posts from “Q,” the supposed figure behind the QAnon conspiracy theory who claims that Trump has a master plan to dismantle child trafficking rings supposedly linked to powerful politicians and celebrities and defeat his perceived enemies and the “deep state.” (Three conspiracy theorists reportedly spread the conspiracy theory for financial gain.) In March, Fyk posted an image of a “Q” post calling the Parkland mass shooting “FAKE” and a “distraction” that was “organized & designed to DISTRACT” and that it featured “ACTORS [who] are ACTING.”

Fyk also discussed QAnon in January while appearing on Infowars (which fully embraced the conspiracy theory early on), with an Infowars host saying to Fyk, “What do you think of these latest QAnon posts hot off the press? ‘Chuck Schumer will live in fear from today forward.’ This is turning out to be a really good day.” Fyk responded that it was “definitely a win for the right.”

Trump himself may have also tweeted in response to Fyk's appearance when he claimed social media platforms were "silencing millions of people."

Latest SEO Tips and Tricks

With the introduction of new rules and updation of search engine algorithms, SEO task is becoming really tougher. Search engines are trying harder to enhance their result with high quality contents. Many people using illegal SEO methods may enjoy the benefits for short period. But once they are detected, they will lead to heavy penalties.

Latest SEO Tips and Tricks

Latest SEO Tips and Tricks

Following explains the legal SEO tricks which are within the guidelines of 2013

  1. Include More Synonyms In Your Content
    Its true that including more targeting keywords in your content will help a lot on SEO part. But the search engines now prefer only high quality contents that are natural. So instead of including same keywords in all headings, tags and URL, you can vary and shuffle them across your posts. Focusing on synonyms will also help your blog to rank higher in Google at great extent.
  2. Avoid Too Many pages
    Instead of including too many pages which uses same keywords, you can keep one page that is well described. Because duplicate contents will only cause problems to the bloggers. So post detailed articles with more than 1000 words which brings in more back-links and higher ranking in search engines.
  3. Vary Your Anchor Texts
    Anchor texts are the words which are used as titles of links in the post. Many people include only their keywords as anchor texts which worked well before. So start using varying anchor texts for better ranking. But remember that using many external and internal links for same article should be avoided. So always use click worthy anchor texts with slight modifications which helps for better external and internal links.

Remember that you cannot get the benefits of SEO immediately and can go to the top of search result in a single day. So always use quality content and don’t even think of using automated or paid links. It takes time for these SEO tactics to bring traffic to your site with better ranking I search engines.

Metro Jets Premier League 2018 Adelaide
Hello Jets Families,

Winter Season is almost at an end, and I hope you’ve all enjoyed the season thus far. This weekend Semi-Finals commence, so we would like to wish all our Jets teams the very best of luck.

Congratulations to our Primary 1 and 2 teams, our Junior 4 team and our Senior A’s who are all going to be fighting contenders in their divisions. You’ve done the hard work all season, so keep it up!

Please check the Jets Finals Flyer for more information on the teams, times & court numbers for our finalists. We hope to see you all there showing your support – Go Jets!

The Club has had a very busy past few weeks with Summer Trials, our AGM, Coaches Workshop and Buddy Night. At this weeks’ AGM the President, Vice-President and Secretarial roles were all re-elected with all three ladies continuing for another term with Metro Jets. I would like to thank these ladies for the continued time and effort they put towards our Club.

The Club is looking forward to celebrating the 2018 season with all our Jets players and families at the upcoming Junior & Senior Presentation Nights. Both nights will be held at the Woodville West Torrens Football Club on the 22nd of September (Juniors) and the 13th of October (Seniors). We would love all our Jets teams to attend, so please get in early and organise your bookings.

Lastly, an extra special mention must go to all the businesses and families, who have supported Metro Jets with sponsorship throughout 2018. The Club are working very hard to promote netball and the development of our players, Coaches and Officials at all levels and age groups. So, it was great to see a number of new sponsors this year, and the Committee would like to thank you for your generous support.

Good luck everyone for the remainder of the winter season! Go Jets!

Premier League

Well after a long season which commenced back on the 20th November 2017 when preseason began and was completed on Friday 17th August 2018 it is with great admiration for our athletes to be able to say, that we went from bottom of the table to fifth place in a season that earmarked many highlights for our Premier League namely most wins in a season 5 in total and our Reserves side two wins (their first ever in a season). Also important to note is that the number of games played by our starting eight was extremely consistent again another first.

To see the cultural change along with increased commitment and workload from these athletes was commendable and whilst it does not guarantee us anything for next year it certainly gives us a good base to start from.

As the season has ended we have also retirements and we would like to acknowledge Stephanie McNeil whose career has come to an end after many seasons of Premier League and also a past captain of the club. Steph’s leadership calmness under pressure and sheer strength of willpower will be sadly missed by all along with her commitment to give the best she has every time she takes the court a lesson for every up and coming player in our club. On behalf of the squad and everyone in the club who knows Steph we wish her well for the future and thank her enormously and we hope when she returns from overseas she joins us again in the next steps.

F I N A L S  F E V E R
A big Congratulations to the following Jets teams who will be playing in finals:
Seniors: A’s Juniors: Primary 1, Primary 2 and Junior 4
We would love to see everyone out there to support our teams through their finals campaigns!!

R I S I N G  S T A R
Olivia Nicholls from our Junior 1 side made the SA State under 15’s side this year.
Here is her story…
Playing In the State U/15 netball team this year was the best experience of my life so far. There was a lot of training but it was so worth it as it gave my team such a strong bond and the intense training taught me so much.
The week away in Werribee was so much fun. I played in WD and got to play 31 quarters out of 36. Some of the games were the hardest I’ve ever played in my life and when we lost a game against WA on the third day, it left the whole SA team shattered.

We picked ourselves up and headed into finals and in a true dream come true, we won GOLD!
It was the 1st time in 24 years that SA got to bring home the cup and I feel unbelievably lucky to be a part of that team. I was also lucky enough to be picked as a reserve in the Australian Team who head to New Zealand to play in March. While I won’t get to go as a reserve, it gives me extra incentive to make the State U/15 team next year so that I can have a chance at representing Australia.

Metro Jets ran another NSG program again over winter and it was great to see all of these new up and coming players get out there and take their first steps (no pun intended) in their netball careers. The Committee would like to thank Kim Batley one of our Premier League players for running the sessions and also for some of the other PL girls who came out to support Kim and the club with this year’s NSG program.

The NSG girls were also visited by the NSG champion Fiona Fowler from the Thunderbird’s and had a special visit from Leana De Bruin the Thunderbird Captain on Buddy night as well. It has been a very successful NSG program again this year

U M P I R E S  W O R D
We wish Ava Roles, Abby Forbes and Eloise Merchant the best of luck as they are being tested for their National C Badge at the Mellor Olsson Academy Games in October. Keep an eye out on our Facebook page to see how the girls go.

Also, congratulations to Sarah Browning and Lisa Cawdron-White for their recent invitation to be a part of the Netball SA Summer Umpiring Program, which will see them umpiring the A1 competition and receiving consistent mentoring from Netball SA mentors.

A special mention to one of our youngest umpires Q’Hara Rootman. Q’Hara also competed at the  L4 to 6 State Championships. Ended 8th out of 31 Level 5 and officially upgraded/got her L5 badge. Well done Q’Hara!!

Thank you to all of the Metro Jets umpiring team for their hard work and commitment this season. I look forward to working with you all in Summer season. If you are interested in becoming an umpire, please email for more information.

Kind regards,
Caitlin North

We had our second Buddy Night for the season and it was a fun night for all. The teams enjoyed a rigorous session of fitness and drills delivered by the PL Players and this was then followed by some fun with the teams competing against each other in Tunnel Ball. The Sub Junior 2 team took the honours in winning the tunnel ball competition.

It was a very enjoyable night for all as we also had a surprise visit by Leana De Bruin the Thunderbirds captain. Leana came and visited some of the teams and gave some defensive insight to our players and joined in on some drills too.

The night finished with Pizza for all the players. The Committee would again like to thank the PL Squad for being Buddies and for coming out and sharing your skills and knowledge.

Electronic music prophet Claude VonStroke gets a hometown welcome at Movement Music Festival

click to enlarge feature3-claude-von-stroke_marc-sethi--15.jpg

Marc Sethi

Claude VonStroke has been flying high since founding the San Francisco-based and Detroit-loving record label Dirtybird in 2005. He has hosted the Dirtybird Campout Festival and Dirtybird BBQ Parties across the country, was voted America's DJ in 2016, played both weekends at Electric Forest in 2017, and on Saturday, May 26, he closes out the Movement stage for Movement 2018. Metro Times talked with him about being exposed to techno in Detroit, honing his craft out West, and performing under his real name for the first time in years.

Metro Times: Can you take us back to the pre-Movement days of warehouse raves in the '90s when you were living in Detroit?

Claude VonStroke: When I was 16 and making music on a four-track in Grosse Pointe, I would bike to a gas station across the Detroit border because they were the only place around that sold rap tapes. Then I saw in the Yellow Pages there was a recording studio another half-mile down the rode, and it was Metroplex. So I made a rap demo and biked down there and tried to convince them I should be their recording engineer. They thought it was funny, but they weren't mean to me, they were cool. But it's really funny looking back, because I probably met Juan Atkins and everybody in there.

Then I went to college, and moved to L.A., and moved back to Detroit to work on a movie called Polish Wedding. A guy I worked with and my best friend in Detroit, Anthony, hooked me up with the Poor Boy guys. I was already in my mid-20s. This was the end of the '90s.

I was obsessed with jungle and drum 'n' bass because Mike Haener gave me a mixtape. I had never heard that before and I freaked out, so I started making drum 'n' bass. I was the only guy making drum 'n' bass [in Detroit], and I played it for the guy who ran Poor Boy, and he was like, "Whatever, it's cool," and he put me in, like, Room 5 at the Poor Boy warehouse, and that was my first show. A full drum 'n' bass rig to probably 10 people.

MT: Why did you decide to make the documentary Intellect: Techno House Progressive?

VonStroke: The documentary was made because I had this really intense drum 'n' bass music, and then I realized I had absolutely zero knowledge of how to do anything past making the tunes. After the movie job ended, I stayed in Detroit for two years. It was easy to get assistant producer jobs on car commercials, and they paid so much and my rent was so cheap I could do music four days a week and only had to work two or three days a week. Then I started dating this Canadian girl, and she wanted to move to San Francisco, so I got all hyped up on S.F., and then her visa didn't come through and we broke up, but I moved there anyway.

I moved to Oakland, and started working at a post-production house, and started this documentary. I connected with all the Detroit DJs cause the guys I knew in Detroit were linking me up with Theo Parrish and Derrick May and Juan Atkins and all those guys. And once I got those guys in my movie, I was able to get everyone else really easily. So the documentary was me asking all these people how they got started, how distribution works, how starting a record label works, how to get gigs, like all the actual questions people want to know, instead of their favorite color or where they grew up. I actually asked them how they did it.

MT: So you were getting the best industry advice possible.

VonStroke: Yeah, that was my grad school. I interviewed 50 DJs, everyone who was popular in 2001, and then I completely ran out of money and couldn't license any music. So I made the music to go under the interviews, sounding exactly like that artist. So at the end of this movie, I knew how to make house music. I had also learned all the other stuff, plus I knew how to make house music, so I started Dirtybird.

MT: Out of all the people you interviewed, who gave you the best advice?

VonStroke: Theo Parrish and Derrick Carter, they were really honest, good interviews, and they weren't trying to overblow who they were. They just told me the truth. Basically if you're not willing to do security, be the bartender, work the door, make the fliers, and bring your records to every single party and wait for your shot, you're never going to get in. You have to work five times harder than everyone else, and once you make it, work 10 times harder.

Theo said something like, "You could just go buy like $250,000 of synthesizers but you still won't be any good at making music. You have to be good with the biggest piece-of-shit sampler. It's not about the equipment, it's about how you make the tracks." Those are the two things I've kept with me the most, as well as some very technical distribution stuff.

MT: When you were making the documentary, did you know you were going to make a label, or was it after when you realized you have all the knowledge one needs to start a label?

VonStroke: No, I still thought I was going to be a DJ.

MT: So why did you decide to start a label as opposed to trying to just focus on making it big?

VonStroke: There were a bunch of factors. Justin Martin was making bootleg vinyls that were doing super well in San Francisco, and we hand-delivered one to Ben Watt, who called a month later and said he wanted to sign a track. But Justin didn't know anything at all about this stuff, so I took over as a manager and negotiated a deal so it wasn't a total disaster. I thought I was just going to be Justin's manager, but this whole time I'm making music, and my wife was getting behind it but gave me an ultimatum that I had one year to make it or I had to stop forever.

Then I remixed the first Justin Martin and Sammy D record, which became Dirtybird #1. Little known fact, on the slab's B-side, it's under Barclay Crenshaw, not Claude VonStroke. I remixed Dirtybird #2 as well, and Dirtybird #3 is basically my first original house record, "Deep Throat." That's the record that let Dirtybird stay in business, because it went and sold like 20,000 vinyl [units]. We went from not knowing if we were going to get paid by the distributor to being their priority. And, by the way, the only person that would distribute us was a super weird distributor in Frankfurt, Germany. No one would distribute us in America.

MT: It's interesting that your first Dirtybird release was under your own name and not Claude VonStroke, given that you more recently have been playing under your own name again.

VonStroke: Yeah, when I moved to Detroit, I was super into hip-hop, and after I got to a certain point with Dirty Bird and Claude VonStroke, I really wanted to go back to that and make whatever music I want. It's just going to be a little creative side project.

MT: Because now you're in a position where you can do what you've always wanted to do all along?

VonStroke: Yeah. I mean, it's crazy how I got into house, I almost didn't even know that I wanted to do it, but it just sucked me in. I realized I actually know how to make house, and make it creatively, in a fun way, and people will pay me money to do it. Then after a while I was like, "Remember that other thing you really like? You should take a look at that again."

MT: Who are you looking forward to seeing at Movement this year?

VonStroke: I'm definitely going to DJ Hype and Hazard, and Ed Rush & Optical. Ed and Optical were on that first mixtape that Mike gave me back when I was first doing music. It's crazy that they're booking drum 'n' bass in Detroit 'cause I can't even tell you how hard it was to get anyone to even look at me. When I was doing jungle, Detroit was like, "No."

I don't know if there's a phrase for this, but, you know how it's almost impossible to get shine in the town where you start? It's like every other place has to say, "These guys are killing it" for your hometown to be like, "Oh, yeah, they are killing it!" [laughs] That's a very Detroit thing.

I'd like to see Helena Hauff, Gene Farris, Kink, Shigeto, Nastia, DJ Premier, Marshall Applewhite, Charlotte de Witte, Mike Huckabee, Radio Slave, it's all awesome. That's the best part about Movement.

Claude VonStroke will headline Movement Music Festival at 10:30 p.m. Saturday, May 26 on the main stage; 1 Hart Plaza, Detroit; movement.us; General admission for one day is $85; General admission tickets for the weekend are $195; VIP weekend tickets are $320.

Canadian Carriers Call for a Rate Increase

The Association seeks to have a general rate increase of 5.8%exclusive of any fuel cost increases. The FCA represents freight carriers across Canada in matters related to economics, pricing, finances and costing as well as motor carrier statistics. Its Tariff Advisory Committee is the unit making the recommendations. Here, as explained by the Association, are the factors driving its decision.

Just as in the U.S., Canada is experiencing an on-going driver shortage. In order to attract drivers, wages, fringe benefits and training costs are climbing. Using federal Canadian statistics, the FCA estimates labor costs to increase 5% annually.

Over the past two years, equipment expenses have risen with tractors costs increasing more than 10% over the period and trailers up more than 20%. Canada has stricter 2007 emissions requirements for truck engines that will have to be paid for and met.

Insurance premiums have climbed as much as 20% for the industry. Truck, trailer and cargo theft is estimated to cost the Canadian trucking industry $1 billion annually, resulting in greater safety and security expenditures for carriers to fight hijacking of trucks and cargo.

With new Canadian Hours of Service regulations expected to go into effect in January 2006, the cost increase for the industry is estimated at between 2% and 4%.

Life's not black and white

Published March 31, 2008

Some people try to say that Florida isn't really part of "the South." But having spent seven years in the swamplands of Gainesville, where Confederate flags fly high and adorn rearview windows along the outskirts of town, I beg to differ. And trust me, there were plenty of remnants of pre-civil rights movement racism.

As a multi-racial girl trying to navigate my way through the awkward phases of middle and high school, I was often victimized for my ambiguous appearance. Sometimes, white kids would make fun of my curly hair, calling it "nigger hair." If I told my white friends, who considered me one of them because my skin is more light than dark, that I was mixed, they would act shocked and patronizingly try to comfort me. "Well, you don't act black. I never would have known," they would say. Whatever that means.

The racism I experienced wasn't just directed at me. On countless occasions, I would be sitting among a group of white peers when the conversation would turn to the negative qualities they saw in black people. Because so many people assumed I was white, they spoke freely in front of me, making racist jokes they assumed I would find as funny as they did. I didn't. But I didn't have the courage then to tell them why.

That's one of the reasons I chose to apply to the University of Michigan - I wanted to get as far away from the racism of the South as possible. And for the most part, while going to college here, I didn't see much of it. I made friends who value me for who I am and see my differences as beautiful, not as things I should try to change.

Even on the pseudo-liberal greens of campus, though, I still encounter curious peers who innocently ask, "So . what are you?" My response varies, depending on what mood I'm in. Sometimes I'm "a Scorpio" or "an American" or "a human being, what are you?"

"No, no," they reply. Silly me, I didn't understand the question. "Like, what are you?" Sometimes if I think they're fishing for the un-white component, I tell them my dad's from Haiti. Other times, I break it down for them. My mom is Ukrainian, Native American and Scotch-Irish, and my father is Haitian and Dominican (so African, French and Spanish). Although the question is annoying, I shrug it off because I know some of my friends don't understand how to talk about race or are legitimately curious about my ethnicity. I'm not so patient with my explanation when I get the sense that the only reason why someone is asking is so they can put me in the "other" group and disregard me. Then I roll my eyes and walk away.

But it wasn't until last week that I felt personally objectified on this campus because of a racist comment. I was alone in an Angell Hall computer lab when a black girl came in with a male friend. I was minding my own business while they chatted away. I only tuned into their conversation when I heard her making fun of him. "Whatever, you know you've got some white in you. You know you're mixed," the girl chided her fair-skinned acquaintance. "Nuh uh," he responded, offended. "I'm black, don't dis me like that."

Sometimes, people don't understand that although white people have usually had the power in society and black people have fought and continue to fight for equality, racism isn't unidirectional.

After four years of tolerance and support at this university, which is more diverse than people give it credit, I have the courage to take a stand in situations like this. I interjected into their conversation and asked if they thought being mixed was a bad thing. The girl was instantly embarrassed. She tried to defend herself, saying she was "just kidding." But I explained to her that when you use a characteristic as an insult, you essentially label that characteristic as negative and could offend the people who may have it. It's in the same vein as calling someone a faggot in jest.

Racism still emerges, even on campus, when insensitive people think no one who would care is listening. People are going to see others how they want to see them. Sometimes white people see me as white even though that's only a part of my identity. But now if they make racist jokes, I call them out. It's easier to give people simple labels, but it just doesn't make sense to look at everyone as either/or.

If we only look at race in terms of black and white, we devalue all the wonderful colors and shades in between.

This fast-paced business novel does for project management what The Goal and It's Not Luck have done for production and marketing. Goldratt s novels have traditionally slain sacred cows and delivered new ways of looking at processes which seem like common sense once you read them. Critical Chain is no exception. In perhaps Eli s most readable book yet, two of the established principles of project management, the engineering estimate and project milestones, are found wanting and dismissed, and other established principles are up for scrutiny - as Goldratt once more applies his Theory of Constraints. The approach is radical, yet clear, understandable and logical. New techniques are introduced, and Project Buffers, Feeding Buffers, Limit Multitasking, Improved Communications and Correct Measurements make them work. Goldratt even handles the complicated statistics of dispersed variability versus accumulated variability so deftly you won t even be aware of learning about them - they ll just seem like more common sense! Critical Chain is critical reading for anyone who deals with projects. If you use block diagrams, drawings or charts to keep track of your activities, you are managing a project - and this book is for you.

Author Biography

Dr Eliyahu M Goldratt was an internationally recognized leader in the development of new business management concepts and systems, originator of the Theory of Constraints (TOC), and author of The Goal, It's Not Luck, and several other successful books explaining the Thinking Process at the heart of TOC.

Perpetual Optimism is a Force Multiplier

”Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.”
-Gen. Colin Powell

I believe the opposite of this statement is also true,...perpetual pessimism is a force multiplier toward negative results. I believe the strongest ally of pessimism is “complaining,” and I can’t believe how quickly this creeps into our minds...regardless of how good we have it.

Today, I am making a pact with my coaches to go today without complaining, and move that commitment to a week without a month, to a full season. My coaching staff has agreed to hold me accountable, and I believe if we have enough of our staff exemplifying this, it will naturally infiltrate our whole clubhouse and multiply the strong force we have.

Read the Friday Afternoon Wrap-Up for 12/7/2012 and the Monday Morning Commentary for 12/10/2012

I have often referred to the The Matrix, in the past, as the 1999 classic symbolizes many aspects of the war between REALITY and the evil that seeks to prevent its expression.  “STICKTUITIVENESS” embodies what it takes to survive this epic struggle – as seemingly, the “bad guys” are rich, powerful, and omnipresent – but UNDERSTANDING one’s foes is what wins the war.

Fortunately, victory is assured to those who seek the “HOLY GRAIL OF THE FINANCIAL WORLD” – that is, that “dollars” are but currency, while PHYSICAL gold and silver are money.  Once that point is understood, seeing through the “Matrix” that is our faux financial system is easy; as did Neo when he realized he was “The One”…

The Matrix Neo Is The One!
You, too, can be your own “One” by fighting through the PROPAGANDA of Washington, Wall Street, and the MSM; plus – equally important – the ramblings of the slavishly accepting “sheeple.”  It will be uncomfortable at first – particularly around friends and family.  However, eventually you’ll realize you are not only RIGHT, but right for the RIGHT REASONS…

Financial Armageddon: Future Gold & Silver Prices Are Going to Shock Most People
Anyhow, the point of this RANT is alert you of the wonderful article below; describing what the real financial world looks like – as opposed to the fraudulent “matrix” force-fed to the unsuspecting public…

Selling Your Soul for a Matrix Steak

It reads like a course in “Reality 101”; and I assure you – once you accept its TRUTH, you will be ready to “EXIT THE MATRIX.”

CBN Approves Diamond Bank National Banking Application

diamond bank, CBN, Bank Gist gist

Diamond Bank Plc (“The Bank or “Diamond”), Nigeria’s fastest growing retail bank, has received the approval of the Central Bank of Nigeria (“CBN”) following its application to operate as a National Bank with immediate effect (subject to conclusion of the sale of Diamond Bank UK- DB UK Plc). With this approval the bank will cease to operate as a global Bank like they used to.

The re-licensing as a national bank supports Diamond’s objective of streamlining its operations to focus resources on the significant opportunities in the Nigerian retail banking market, and economy as a whole.

The move follows Diamond’s decision to sell its international operations, which included the disposal of its West African Subsidiary in 2017 and Diamond Bank UK, the sale of which happens to be in its final stages.

The change to national bank status also enables the bank to keep up a lower minimum capital dependence on 10% as against 15% required for international banks. This creates room for the lender to deploy more capital for stronger growth in the quarters ahead through additional investment in technology platforms, customer acquisition and expansion of loans to the critical sectors of the economy.

Uzoma Dozie, CEO, said: “The proceed to a national banking license marks a continuation of our technique to focus on Nigeria’s significant fundamental trends, including a large underbanked population and Africa’s biggest economy. By focusing and optimizing our resources towards Nigeria and the priority area of retail banking, we are better positioned for long run growth and greater profitability.

“The decrease in minimum capital requirement also increases our capacity to expand the quantum of business and product services we can offer consumers, along with representing an integral step in strengthening our budget. ”

This development does not affect the bank’s ability to offer services to its customers in nations; Rather, with focus on its domestic business being priority, the bank also intends to pay down completely, the Eurobond loan of $200m at maturity in-may 2019. You will see no refinancing of the loan whilst the intent to pay down with foreign exchange generated from its internal operations, a reflection of the solidity of its operations and funds flow within the last few years.

Excellent services to international clients will continue through its digital channels (Diamond Mobile, Internet Banking etc . ) and network of correspondence banks.

Diamond Bank Plc is a respected Nigerian financial services company, which commenced operations as a private limited liability company on March 21, 1991. In May 2005, it was listed on The Nigerian Stock market.

Today, Diamond Bank may be the fastest growing retail bank in Nigeria with a track record of top quality banking solutions for clients. It is the lead driver of financial inclusion, providing enhanced customer experience through innovation and technology. Regarded as supporter of life style trends, its mobile banking app, “Diamond Mobile”, currently has over 2 million active subscribers on its platform. Diamond Bank has over the years leveraged its underlying resilience to grow its asset base and to retain its key business relationships.

The Achilles’ Heel – Aluminum Expansion Tank R&D, Part 3: Production

This 2011-2014 Ford F-150 Aluminum Expansion Tank is now on sale! Check it out here!

With the airbox back in and all the bolts tightened down, we could step back and admire the fruits of over a year’s labor. Sometimes, the best compliment a product can be given is that the owner doesn’t even think about it. That’s exactly what we want to hear about our 2011-2014 Ford F-150 expansion tank.

If you’ve been the owner of a 2011-2014 F-150 for the last year, chances are you’ve found a puddle of coolant under the front driver’s side of your truck at least once. It’s even more likely that you’ve found the source of that leak to be the quick-disconnect on the bottom of your stock coolant expansion tank. If I’ve done my job well enough, you’ve hopefully also heard that Mishimoto has been working on a solution to that very problem. It’s been a long time coming, but we’re finally ready to present that solution to the world.

Our last update revealed our plans for a sleek and durable design to replace the bulky, leak prone, plastic expansion tank. The most important detail of that update, however, was our plan for dealing with the notorious quick-disconnect on the bottom of the tank. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with a new quick-disconnect, we decided to keep it simple. A quick snip of the factory hose will let you install a CNC-machined hose barb and connect it to your new Mishimoto expansion tank with the supplied durable silicone hose.

Our replacement for the leak-prone stock quick-disconnect fitting.
Our replacement for the leak-prone stock quick-disconnect fitting.

Plans are all well and good, but executing those plans is where the war is won or lost. We finalized our drawings and started building a prototype out of aluminum that would tell us once and for all whether our expansion tanks would be one of those parts that just works without thinking about it.

A few weeks later, we had our answer.

Our production sample certainly looked the part, but we held back our enthusiasm for the test fit. Jason picked up his reciprocating saw and got to work. As the last stroke of the saw blade severed the remaining connection between the airbox and stock expansion tank, there was no turning back. Installing the tank took no more than 30 minutes. If you didn’t know what to look for, you would think our micro-wrinkle black expansion tank came straight from the Ford factory. Best of all, our CNC hose coupler fit beautifully, and most importantly, didn’t leak.

Our prototype expansion tank has been on our volunteer vehicle for several months with no issues, so we can rest assured that our quick-disconnect solution will hold up to the test of time much better than the stock fitting. Thanks to our engineer’s careful planning and execution, this will be one product that you can install and never think about again. And we’re OK with that.

The best part of this product, however, is that it’s now available. If you’re tired of spending your time wondering if your stock 2011-2014 F-150 expansion tank is about to drain all of your coolant onto the driveway, now is your chance to replace it with something you’ll never have to think about ever again. Take a look at our website for more details and, as always, feel free to let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks for reading!

NFL Films Selects Lectrosonics for On-Field Audio

The audio technicians at NFL Films are using Lectrosonics SMD transmitters to capture on-field audio for televised NFL games.

The audio technicians at NFL Films are using Lectrosonics SMD transmitters to capture on-field audio for televised NFL games. NFL Films is a full-service production and post-production company housed under one roof. NFL Films has its own camera and sound departments for location work, as well as film processing labs, recording studios, on-staff composers, lighting directors and more.

NFL Films also produces sports-related programming. In association with HBO Sports, the company produces the show Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Kansas City Chiefs, which debuted in August.

According to Jerry Mahler, NFL Film’s executive in charge of audio and music, “NFL Films has been capturing on-field audio for quite some time, and over the years, we’ve encountered every type of failure you can imagine. We’ve worked with a lot of equipment, but nothing has the sound quality, durability and reliability that Lectrosonics equipment offers. For the past several months, we’ve been using the Lectrosonics SMD transmitters with the RM remote control and they’ve been terrific.”

Image placeholder title

Lectrosonics SMD transmitter

For capturing on-field audio, the transmitters are routinely placed into a recessed area of the player’s shoulder pads. Cable ties are used to secure the transmitter into place, and the unit is then covered with foot foam in order to ensure a lump-free installation. Additionally, a custom-made metal plate covering the transmitter, antenna and microphone connections is placed over the system to provide additional protection. The mic cable is taped all along the back of the shoulder pads, concealed between the soft and hard shells.

“There can’t be any bulges,” says Mahler, “because that would only make the equipment more vulnerable, and player safety is of paramount concern. The opponent must not be able to grab the transmitter, as could possibly happen when a player is tackled by grabbing the collar. We also make certain the mic is facing down. This way, if a player gets doused with water, the capsule doesn’t get destroyed.”

Mahler reports that the dual battery found in the SMD transmitters, in conjunction with the system’s remote capabilities, work well for this application. “We typically get the shoulder pads four to five hours prior to game time,” he says. “While we obtain the player’s approval, we get the shoulder pads from the team’s equipment manager and prepare the setup prior to the team’s arrival, so the added battery life of the SMD is very important. We’ve also been particularly impressed with the ability to remotely control the SMDs with the available RM remote. Now, we can change audio input gain and frequency settings without having to bother the player. This is a real lifesaver. Because of the way the transmitter is placed into the shoulder pads, making these adjustments without the remote capability would be a serious hindrance. We first used the remotes during this year’s Super Bowl game, and they worked really well for us.”

As part of the RM remote’s capabilities, the system can also lock and unlock the transmitter’s front panel controls, and enable/disable sleep mode. Because the RM’s operation is acoustic, and not infrared, a direct line of sight is not required.

Currently, NFL Films uses in excess of 20 systems. “Our SMDs are mated with the Lectrosonics Venue receiver systems—both the VR and VR Field models—and we use the company’s LecNet2 software to configure the equipment,” Mahler concludes.

does it matter who writes on the wall?

October 1, 2001

I finished running my stats for September and it looks like I had over 22,000 people visit last month. I think a lot of that has to do with the images I gathered on the World Trade Center bombing. I have some screenshots and images available no where else. I also had some media coverage from a radio station and some messagesboards associated with them. All in all, September was a busy month.

I built a machine for a client this weekend. It’s a PIII 550 with 128mb of RAM and I’m amazed at how fast it is. I ran Command and Conquer effortlessly. The machine does have a problem, the hard drive is clicking. Sounds like one of the arms is clicking and is dying on me. I’m going to call and see if they can just ship me another hard drive instead of having to ship the whole machine back.

My digital camera died a few weeks ago and I finally got a chance to exchange it. I have some nice photos and hopefully soon I can add those to a future photo album. It’s not going to be hard to do, but finding the time right now is the problem.

Yes, it seems like I have about 80 hours of work to do this week. So, I’ve already decided to work late for as long as I need to. I have deadlines that are too important to screw up. So that also means that I’m possibly going to have problems. Murphy’s Law. So, if you call me at work expect to get my voicemail. If you call me at home, expect for me to be a few more days behind my already slow call return time.

My new machine still isn’t built. I finished working on the client’s system, then I tested a few games, and then I sat and did nothing. Niki and I cooked dinner for my Mom on Saturday…well Niki actually cooked a nice Spam Fried rice. We were watching a show on cooking in Hawaii and this was a recipe they had used. Spam, Pineapple, and Rice. I normally bake or fry Spam so to actually have Spam, that was actually tender as opposed to bacon-like, in a meal was interesting. I wish I had some more for my late Saturday/Sunday Morning work.

There’s definitely some perks when you’re a friend of the brand and NFL players like Dez Bryant knows all about the Jordan Brand privilege.

From getting his own PE’s throughout the season, to getting a few future drops, Dez Bryant surprises us again with a look at a possible upcoming Air Jordan 20 colorway featuring a Black and White theme. The Air Jordan 20 is a brand new colorway in the 20th chapter and could be seeing a release in the future.

In the mean time, stay tuned with Modern Notoriety for upcoming news on the Air Jordan 20 Black – White.


text: Imagine if Nike dropped a “Nerf” pack along with this past weekend’s Nike Zoom KD IV? that would be insane but unfortunately it’ll never happen. Thankfully, customizers like Mache delivered an idea of what could be, by painting similar colors that are featured on the Nike Zoom KD IV “Nerf”,  onto this Nike Lebron 9. The Nike Lebron 9 “Nerf” Custom was done so well that it almost looks like an official colorway or photoshop, seeing that the “Nerf” theme painted on the Lebron 9, displays “On Point” tones including the laces.

Analyst says move is halfway house

Witan&#39s move to a multi-manager structure has been described as a halfway house by one of the investment trust sector&#39s leading analysts.

Close Wins investment trust research argues that a true best of breed vehicle would be unlikely to hold 50 per cent of its assets in tracker funds, as is the case with the Witan fund.

The analyst also notes the absence of performance records for the selected managers because Witan cannot provide them for legal and compliance reasons though it adds that Witan has selected a very impressive list of names.

But it believes the move does differentiate the trust from its Global Growth peer group and that it will be more attractive than its peers. It also notes that the fund has a very low total expense ratio of just 0.16 per cent of assets with an average performance fee of 18 per cent.

The analyst believes that because the 55 per cent of the trust&#39s assets remaining with Henderson are low-margin, the fund manager&#39s revenue has fallen by two-thirds.

The note adds: “We believe that the outcome is somewhat of a halfway house towards true open architecture. Ultimately, it seems unclear whether the objective is to outperform indices or to deliver strong outperformance.

“Of course, the two are not mutually exclusive but we would question the role of trackers, albeit enhanced, within a best of breed fund.”

Simply Biz mortgage business up 20% for Q1

Simply Biz’s mortgage lending is up 20 per cent in the first quarter of the year compared to the same period last year, despite a 50 per cent fall in the total mortgage market.

Its mortgage club, Simply Biz Mortgages, saw a 20 per cent increase in terms of loans and 19 per cent in terms of numbers during the first quarter of the year.

The mortgage club processed 6,590 applications in the first quarter of 2008, compared to 5,538 in the first quarter of 2007 and 5,290 in the last quarter of 2007.

The total for the first quarter of this year £936m compares to £780m for the same period last year and £740m compared to the last quarter of 2007 – an even bigger improvement.

Joint managing director Philip Holroyd says the figures are encouraging in the turbulent times the rest of the mortgage sector is experiencing.

He says: “Everyone knows how difficult the mortgage market is currently but it is very pleasing to see our member firms bucking the trend. The reasons are twofold – firstly, our member firms clearly see the advantage of supporting their mortgage club and secondly, as holistic advisers, they are still able to satisfy their clients’ needs and adapt to difficult times.”
