In my opinion, we are already there, we are at the peak of mobile and web app development, where 9/10 people use a smartphone and internet on daily basis, actually, 10/10 in most cases and apps are part of every day their lives.
Almost everything is accessible on the web and mobile phone through applications, which pretty much shows that an entrepreneur’s’ first choice would be an app developer.
Many start-ups come up with business ideas related to app development, but most of them actually more than 80% of them fail because of a poor strategy.
A simple answer to their failure is inexperience, but there are a lot of factors which you could take care off before investing or creating an app for your business.
Mobile app development and web app development are brothers with same purposes but function in different devices.
Let’s get started with why mobile apps fail?
Many companies spend millions of dollars on mobile app development, they fail miserably. Why is that?
Because they are cheaper than many other experienced companies, who could put a hole in your pocket but still make your business successful. Which no one realizes.
The first step to promoting your app is having a marketing strategy, where the failure begins.
There are many mobile apps out there which do not have a particular purpose, which shows the idea of mobile app development itself was wrong.
Many custom apps offer “purchasing options” to engage with its users, but this strategy is known to backfire for most companies.
Mobile apps are useful when a problem is solved. One should point out a customer’s problem and then have a mobile app to solve it.

You mention a few things that stick out to me. Would like to move to IP in the future, limited bandwidth, multi site, central management, store video locally and on the positive side you do not need integration to a specific pos hear from a lot of people so I will offer my two bits.
Making the move to IP is definitely the way to go. Once you have a single IP camera installed it is really going to drive home the limitations of your analog cameras. The resolution just isn't available in the analog world so it makes sense to have your eye on the end goal. If you decided not to go with a hybrid DVR you can always look at the option of using analog to digital encoders to help bridge the gap. A bit of expense to lay out initially, but still easier to explain to a budgeting person than the need to replace everything at once.

After three morning of survey, every member of the LMRT and MCC were amazed. Considering the results of our pilot structures, we knew that life would be attracted by the it, but in only one month, its life aggregation efficiency went way beyond our hopes.

How It’s because they’re so darned cute! Really, here’s how it happened.
We couldn’t wait for “Chicken Days” to begin at Tractor Supply. Here, they began having chickens on March 6. Vince went down there as soon as the chicks arrived and he bought 8. Even though we only wanted 6, folks who know about chickens say to get a couple more than you want because you usually lose one or two. So, we bought 8. All he knew was that they were “assorted pullets”. When we went back on the following Saturday, the guy told us that he thought we had gotten Cornish Cross chickens, which are meat birds. Not good . . so we talked about what we should do and we bought 8 more so we’d have some egg chickens. We lost two of those so we were down to 14 . . way more than we needed. The bantams were straight run so, no doubt, several of them are probably roosters. They’re still just as cute as they can be.
 T’ll“Come and get me! ” NO! He said “Let’s just go see them . . we don’t need to buy any!” Yep, I know that routine. It’sdn’ “I’.” I’mid “Oh, Vince . . it’won’t be a big deal! Don’eater!” He just looked at me kinda funny . . didn’t guess that I didn’t dn’t buy that I don’ I don’ Th “We’ll take them!” I said “Our coop is full!” He said “I’ll build another coop!” That means, he’ll ’T LET THOSE FOLKS BUY MORE CHICKENS! When’ve been there too much!
These were straight runs and I’m hoping at least a couple of the ones we got are hens.
We were so happy to get these. Vince’s! They are so cute!
That’sThis is how I ended up with so many dogs!

🙂 The guys are Tractor Supply are going to start calling you the Chicken Lady.
Judy, you will end up being known as “The Chicken Ranch”, lol. Ask a longtime resident or a “native” Texas about the Chicken Ranch, lol.
This is cool!!!!!!!!! Oursg!!!!!!!!!
OMG, this gave me the giggles this morning! But those babies are soooo cute!! Enjoy your chickies and your eggs (once they start).
I’mI’m wonu’re gathering a couple dozen eggs a day! Hmmmmmm….might have to start marketing them to people who really appreciate fresh eggs. Too bad I live so far away.
You two crack me up with those chickens.
Buck buk buk buk.
 Y’t you?  I suspect that you can probably put an ad in the tractor supply place for egg customers – and will get regulars who you will either deliver to – or who will come and get a couple dozen eggs at a time.
Oh, Judy, I love the chicken posts. And Judy’s! (That’s pr!! !
Soon you can hand Rhonda a dozen eggs in exchange for your packages!
HA! !!!!!  hicks… especially since we aren’t allowed to have them in city limits (that’s changing but we’on’t “need”Thank goodness! We are back to a laugh a day from Judy’s Chicken Ranch.’t !   More books by Judy could be coming upn’nd!!!!!

You’re having so much fun!
I so know the feeling! !!!! OMG!!! I hadn’t counted until now! Eight of them were free “packing peanuts”at least that is what we are hoping is right.’t me?LOL). I told her about the poor duck. She said that they had gotten in a box of 50 from the hatchery, and 49 were dead and he/she was the lone survivor. They said that the box had been held at some point along the way over the weekend instead of moving on, and the ducks had gotten dehydrated and too cold. I told them to sic the ASPCA on the PO. Someone needs to learn to send live animals on as a priority. It was heart breaking to look at the little duck trying to sit up. The couple offered to take it and try to nurse it. The lady I know there gave them the duck and we all wished them success.
Vince better get those big boy boots soon! LOL y!  An’t resist the critters!
Your chickens are so sweet!


! Often there is inadequate definition of what we mean by 'politically' correct. In addition, many do not know exactly what is meant by 'scientifically' correct.
Truth about our climate and how humans interact with it is, or should be, a topic of immense concern to Christians who believe God created our planet with wondrous complexity—thousands of interacting functional climate features working together for the benefit of all living creatures. This includes humanity, creatures He created "in His image." The Creator's mandate to subdue the Earth (Gen. 1:28) demands definition and careful analysis. Humanity should lovingly care for Earth as the venue for our physical existence. Sadly, human caretakers of Earth have not always wisely cared for its welfare. Inherent in this fact is the truth that human welfare has suffered.
The responsibility to care for our planet has become more challenging as global population has increased from one billion to 7.5 billion since 1800. At present the paramount environmental issue is undoubtedly climate change. The issue has become inexorably connected with the slight planetary warming related to society's release of CO2 from the consumption of fossil fuels during the last century.
For some environmental activists CO2 has become the 'naughty child' in the family of compounds because it contains carbon. For this reason it has acquired a bad name among the elements in some environmental circles. Significant attention is devoted to 'curbing carbon pollution.' In the last two decades terms such as emissions assessments, carbon accounting, and ecological/carbon footprint have become popular. Playcome politically correct but in some cases scientifically uncertain or even incorrect. They gained support from a surprising 2007 US Supreme Court decision that permitted the EPA to declare CO2 a pollutant. No doubt the five judges who approved that decision believed they were scientifically correct. The next president rigorously imposed regulations on 'carbon pollution.' Many scientists have since refuted the opinion that CO2 is a pollutant.
Life on Earth is carbon-based life. It comprises nearly half of all biomass. The human body is over 18%ehind hydrogen, helium, and oxygen. While recognizing that CO2 is a greenhouse gas contributing to slight warming of our atmosphere in recent times, we have been researching the effects of increased CO2 and the results of atmospheric warming resulting from it. In general, we decry the fear engendered by the idea that CO2 is a pollutant. Concepts such as 'carbon footprints' still dominate the journalistic landscape. The footprints are difficult to define, explain, and regulate.
We are thankful to our Creator for the element carbon. Ten million carbon compounds are known to man. Carbon, therefore, is known as the 'King of the elements.' Without CO2 in our atmosphere life on Earth would not exist. We advocate studying the wondrous role of carbon without a preconceived negative view of this element. We trust this post inspires readers to further investigate a fascinating issue which remains open and unsettled. Sound thinking is superior to political or scientific correctness.
Buzz phrases come and go in our language. The Green New Deal is a notable example. The youngest member of the US Congress burst upon the national scene in November, 2018 commanding unprecedented attention with a proposal of Green New Deal legislation. It suggests sweeping changes in our social, economic, and financial fabric. Senate leader Mitch McConnell presented a "motion to proceed to consider" proposal on the Green New Deal. Not one senator voted yes; instead 57 senators voted "No" and 43 senators voted "present" in an effort to avoid a political trap.
The Green New Deal would ban consumption of virtually all l come to an end within 12 years we are warned. We are counseled that worry concerning the Green New Deal's cost— trillions of dollars—pales to insignificance in the face of the imminent demise of humanity.
Our science/faith blog has never proposed that climate change issues are not important, especially in view of numerous weather and climate related manifestations which suffuse our existence. Quite the opposite: for human residents of Earth, frequent change in weather is a given as are ubiquitous changes in climate. As we survey eons of human history it is evident that Earth is a dynamic planet owing to captivating geological and atmospheric phenomena which sustain human flourishing in both short and long term. We have exulted in Earth's dynamism, especially in relation to climate. Indeed, this characteristic has enabled a flourishing human existence.
We have uncovered numerous past posts where we used the term 'dynamic' to describe our home planet. In terms of the definition of dynamic (changing, active, powerful, energetic, vital) we have always used the term in a positive, approvin'climate change''climate change'on.
In our neighborhood the Dubuque, IA Symphony Orchestra has just completed the last of four concerts in their 2018/2019 season. The themes were "Earth, Air, Fire, and Water"—one concert for each of the four "classical elements" traditionally originating with thinkers in the Greek culture of 2500 years ago. During the March 24 concert "Water" was celebrated.
Many other cultures in the ancient world speculated that different types of matter were composed of just a few simple elements. By the 18th century, scientific thinking had advanced concerning the physical properties of matter. Since the onset of the Scientific Revolution dating back to the 16th century, the formal term "scientist" originated more recently, 200 years ago. Prior to this, practitioners of science were known as "natural philosophers." In the 18th century, natural philosophers began to use empirical methods based on formal experience and experimentation to investigate, identify, and isolate elemental substances. About 22 chemical elements were discovered during that century. In the 19th and 20th centuries knowledge of the identity of chemical elements increased dramatically. Now about 100 chemical elements are known—unique substances whose atoms comprise all known substances. There are millions of physical mixtures of these 100 elements and thousands of compounds composed of chemical combinations of the same 100 elements.
Greek philosophical thinkers proposed existence of only four classical elements—Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. These concepts preceded proposals of scientists who endorse modern chemical concepts of 100 elements, each composed of different submicroscopic atoms. How far has humanity's scientific knowledge come in 2.5 millennia!
The theme On Water in the Dubuque Symphony Orchestra concert #4 brought to mind many reminders of scientific truth, sometimes with theological overtones. My personal enjoyment of the performance took me beyond mere passive listening. The program included well-known compositions with a water theme by Johann Strauss, G. F. Handel, Michael Daugherty, Bedrich Smetana, and Ottorina Respighi. We continue our discussion of "symphonic science" below, highlighting three dimensions of science which came to mind as my wife and I savored the "On Water" program from our balcony seats: (1) Consciousness, (2) Creativity, and (3) Sensory Perception.
Consciousness - The ability of famous composers to consciously perceive their environment and synthesize their experiences with meaningful musical expressions is a noteworthy human talent. The phenomenon of consciousness is not as well-understood as some believe. One definition: Personal awareness of one's surroundings. What is involved in personal awareness? Much research has been produced by behavioral scientists in their effort to address and explain how consciousness works in the human body. One famous cognitive scientist, David Chalmers, has coined the phrase "The Hard Problem of Consciousness." He may agree with cognitive scientist Alva Noe who wrote that conscious creativity and decision making is "traceable to the continual storm of electrical activity in the complex neural network called our brain." This statement is interesting and factual but not adequately explanatory.
When we return from a music venue and compare notes with fellow concertgoers, we inquire how they "enjoyed the concert." There are many dimensions of enjoyment—sound, sight, and science. We give thanks to the Creator for our ability to savor all three.
Many areas of the United States have been deluged with cold weather, snow, and ice during the winter of 2018-19. Many Midwest regions are experiencing serious flooding resulting from recent heavy rains and snow melt locally and to our north, not to mention ice jams on streams resulting from intense past stretches of cold weather. We highlighted the rare January 2019 stratospheric polar vortex as well as the more common tropospheric polar vortexes, ordinary "cold snaps" which have chilled our regions during northern latitude winters as long as we can remember. As astronomical spring dawns upon the Northern Hemisphere, residents look forward to an increased supply of heat.
Planet Earth is located in a comfortable "habitable zone" with respect to its temperature. It is not so cold that all of the Earth's water exists in solid form. Neither is it too hot for all of Earth's water to evaporate into a gas. Earth's life depends upon a great majority of its water remaining in liquid state. The temperature range where this is possible is an incredibly narrow 180º (32º to 212º) on the Fahrenheit temperature scale.
What about Earth's water in vapor form? Beneficial liquid water could not be distributed around the Earth to sustain our lives without the presence and action of water vapor in the atmosphere! Liquid water evaporates, later condensing back to liquid water in the form of cloud droplets and ultimately falling as rain. Earth residents are recipients of life-sustaining precipitation for their crops and a multitude of other needs. Dual processes of evaporation and condensation provide transfer of heat and transportation of water from place to place. Evaporation removes heat; condensation returns heat. The process repeats over and over.
One source creatively described Earth's atmosphere as the "superhighway used to move water around the globe." Heat energy, helping to sustain our lives. In the process life-giving water vapor enters the atmosphere from streams, ponds, lakes, and oceans. Eventually the water vapor forms clouds and precipitation falls. In the paragraph above we described the water cycle, an often under-appreciated marvel of the world of nature. Water volume in the atmosphere has been estimated at 3100 cubic miles—only 0.001% of all water on Earth.
Tys "working" to equalize intensity of differing zones of heat. Earth's atmospheric systems come and go, supplying our enormous variety of weather.
Earth is blessed by a life-giving atmosphere. If there were no atmosphere, there would be no weather. Other planets in our solar system as well as exoplanets in distant star systems may possess entirely different atmospheres or none at all. Planet Earth is unique in possessing hundreds of fine-tuned physical characteristics. Our planet's millions of separate species inhabit a world distinctively created for their lavish existence. Earth's abundant, unique physical characteristics and its plentiful, distinctive life comprise a virtually unmatched complement.
Most translations of Isaiah 45:18 propose the complementary relationship of the Earth's physical system and its variety of life. We quote this verse from the New International Version: well-known questions in meteorology is "What is the cause of seasons?" Many related secondary questions occur. Are any facts about the motions of Planet Earth, its speed in orbit, its path through space, and the precise location it occupies at any given time, truly trivial? These questions connect with the cause of seasons.
Before one proceeds very far with formal education, teachers introduce scientific lessons on astronomy and weather. With respect to the cause of seasons, weather and astronomy are integrally related. Simple concepts are discussed first, such as the basic facts of our solar system—our Earth as a sphere and its motions of rotation and revolution. These facts and motions are not perceptible to observers on Earth. But our lives depend primarily on perception of real motion—motions that actually occur. In astronomy students must become aware of the difference between real and apparent motion—not always an easy distinction. They must learn that most perceived motions of the Sun, Moon, and stars are not real. Rather, they are apparent, caused by the real motion of Earth's rotation on its axis and the real revolution of Earth in orbit around the Sun.
Similar problems of distinguishing real from apparent motion occur in determining seasonal beginnings and endings of astronomical spring, summer, winter, and autumn. (Readers may review the precise relationship of "points, times, speeds, motions, and paths in space" related to Planet Earth as discussed in our previous 3/6/19 post.) Why is astronomical summer 94 days long while astronomical winter is only 89 days long? This curious fact relates to the speed of revolution of Earth in its orbit. Since our planet possesses an elliptical orbit, there is a position where the Earth travels slightly slower. This is called aphelion, the point of maximum distance. There is also perihelion, the point of minimum distance, when Earth travels faster by 3.34%. At aphelion, the point of maximum distance, Earth travels somewhat slower.
At aphelion the Sun's gravity is slightly weaker so the Earth does not "fall" as quickly. Earth's orbital speed is slightly diminished. When Earth approaches the Sun a little closer at perihelion, the planet "falls" more quickly. Its orbital speed increases slightly. The difference in speed in units of miles/sec is 18.21 mi/sec vs 18.82 mi/sec. Earth hurtles along in its orbit, on average, at 67,000 mph. These statistics fascinate most students of astronomy and weather trivia.
Our home planet is actually somewhat closer to the sun in winter, 91 million miles compared with 94.5 million miles. This seems counterintuitive. Perihelion occurseffects of Earth's 23.4º axis tilt are far more significant in terms of the onset of summer and winter environments. Likewise, astronomical summer's 94 days compared with astronomical winter's 89 days is essentially insignificant because few residents are counting the days.
When one first learns that we live on a spherical planet,. "How do we know?" sy.
Most planets in our Solar System and the thousands of extrasolar planets discovered so far have axis tilts. Earth's axis tilt makes life for 7.5 billion residents possible. As of March 1, 2019, 3999 confirmed exoplanets in 2987 planetary systems have been discovered in our Milky Way Galaxy. A Wikipedia entry states there are 200 billion stars in our galaxy of which 11 billion may possess habitable planets. This figure is incredibly optimistic. Of 3999 confirmed planets not one has come close to Earth conditions which support complex, wondrous life of millions of different species. There are hundreds of unique, fine-tuned, life-supporting parameters on Earth. Absence of any of these conditions would preclude the possibility of life.
"Happy Spring!" Our household thermometer recorded an overnight low temperature of -5ºF on March 3. The median temperature on that day was thirty degrees below normal. "Take heart," we tell our friends. "In several days we will enjoy two weeks of normal temperatures, according to the long range forecast." We do not cite these figures to become a source for weather statistics in the upper Midwest. Rather, our desire is to improve general weather literacy. We are now in meteorological spring, but we may experience surprising vagaries of the season no matter which season we claim to inhabit!
Our above link to "Earth Without Seasons" stressed the effect of Earth's seasons on Earth's living things, including the occurrence of unpredictable weather. Beyond those there are many other more astronomical effects of Earth's axial tilt, Earth's elliptical orbit, and the 41,000 year wobble in Earth's axis of rotation. Below we discuss why the astronomical seasons commence approximately March 21 (spring), June 21 (summer), September 21 (autumn), and December 21 (winter). As an example, why does the first day of astronomical spring occur at precisely 5:58 PM EST on March 20 in 2019? Meteorological spring (the "getting warmer" season) correlates with dates on the man-made 16th century Gregorian calendar.
What is the vernal equinox? If you live in the northern hemisphere you have noticed that on December 21 the sun does not rise very far above Earth's horizon at noon. By March 21 its noon position has gradually risen about halfway to its maximum, and by June 21 it has risen to its highest point. The Sun follows a path through the sky called the ecliptic. It does not really move, but it appears to move because we are moving around the Sun viewing it from constantly changing positions. The Sun, traveling along the ecliptic, traces a complete 360º path through the sky in one year. On about March 21 each year the apparent path of the sun crosses an imaginary circle called the celestial equator, made by extending the Earth's equator infinitely out into celestial space. It intersects the imaginary celestial sphere at an infinite distance. On this date the Sun is exactly halfway to its highest point in the sky (or on the celestial sphere). The result is day and night are of equal length on that day. Before or after that date, day length is shorter or longer than night. This occasion is called the spring equinox (equinox = day and night of equal length). The term also refers to a date on the calendar or a point in space.
On June 21 when the sun reaches its highest northern point on the ecliptic, we enjoy longest days and shortest nights. We have reached the date of the summer solstice (solstice = sun stands 'still'). After this date the Sun gradually begins to descend toward the celestial equator. This marks the end of astronomical spring, and the beginning of astronomical summer. Likewise, on about September 21 astronomical summer ends; astronomical autumn begins. We then observe the autumnal equinox. On about December 21, astronomical autumn ends; astronomical winter begins: we have reached the winter solstice. Our planet's well-known axis tilt is responsible.
After the late January North American intrusion of the stratospheric polar vortex, we continue to hear many references to the polar vortex each time a significant winter event occurs. The term is now increasingly used, often incorrectly, by mid-latitude residents as winter's wrath approaches and retreats.
People who inhabit areas north of 35º latitude are counseled to "think snow" or at the very least, prepare for cold conditions when shortened days of winter approach. During that season, plants and animals of their regions undergo changes in appearance and behavior. Bioscientists have described those cold weather plants and animals in detail, along with the seasonal adaptations they undergo.
Biomes are large geographical areas with sizable ecological communities of plants and animals. Smaller areas exist within biomes. They are termed ecosystems—a group of species living in a given areaemperature and climateecosystems. When the stratospheric polar vortex struck North America in January 2019, we were reminded of biomes and ecosystems affected by cold temperature conditions—yes, even extremely cold temperature conditions. The Creator must have experienced joy when he observed the marvelous variety of weather conditions and multitudes of diverse living things He had created at the conclusion of His creative activity. In Genesis 1 God exults in His many works of creation after His work was completed: "And God saw that it was good." The Book of Job, Chapters 35-41, offers a superb account of meteorological and biological wonders of the created world.
We conclude with a shout-out to the United States Postal Service for producing a series of twelve self adhesive stamp sheets from 1999 to 2010, each highlighting life in a different ecosystem. Each sheet is an 8"X10" drawing of a specific ecological area including the artist's rendition of 24 plants and animals.

Last night I was thinking to myself “I want a nice, healthy, fresh dinner tomorrow.” Immediately my mind started running different options – do I want a fresh salad or a simple pasta dish. After roughly 12 hours with the topic running through my mind, I decided pasta was the way to go. I take my dinner choices seriously!
- Pasta (cooked and ready – remember to boil in saltwater!)
Cut your Chicken Into thumb sized cuts, set aside
Peel and dice your Garlic
1) Place your vegtabiles into a pan with ½ inch of water, steam on medium-high heat for 5 mins, set aside (or cook while doing next part)
3) Add chicken stock and chicken cuts – cook over medium-high heat until the chicken is almost cooked
I was hoping for a quick and easy dish, and I found it. Total prep and cook time is roughly 25 minutes and is not difficult at all. More importantly, and I very well may be biased, this is one of the freshed dishes I’ve had in a long time. With a few tweaks this dish could very easily be of restaurant quality. It is truly that good. The Red Peppers hold the taste of the chicken stock ever so slightly, the asiago adds a bit a sharpness and the chicken is juicy.
Really, as long as you do not overcook the chicken I truly believe you will enjoy this dish!


A perennial herb of wet habitats, particularly those with seasonal water level fluctuations. It is found in springs and flushes, around ponds, on lake shores, streamsides, in dune-slacks, marshes, water-meadows, flood pastures, bogs and in ditches and track ruts. It usually grows in oligotrophic or mesotrophic water over neutral to acid substrates.
It grows in ditches, marshes, and alongside ponds and lakes, in full sun and wet. See further photos by BritishFlora in Lesser Spearwort Page.
Ranunculus pseudofluitans photo from Flowers of Europe A Field Guide by Oleg Polunin. Published by Oxford University Press in 1969.
A small annual or short-lived perennial, found at the edge of small water bodies and by the sheltered backwaters of rivers. It often grows on the cattle-poached edges of ponds, ditches and streams, in wet gateways and on paths and tracks. It tolerates a broad range of pH and nutrient levels, including nitrophilous conditions.
An annual found in a highly specialised marshy habitat. It requires winter inundation, bare, wet mud for seedling establishment, reduced summer water levels and low competition. The substrate at the two extant sites is base-rich Lias clay, with most water input from rain.
Found only in hot dry banks near St Aubyns, Jersey in full sun. Perennial stoloniferous Herb with a short erect stock bearing both fibrous roots and a cluster of fleshy root tubers. Pollinated by various insects, especially hover flies and small bees.
Online Atlas of the British and Irish Flora gives more details.
An annual of dry disturbed habitats on a range of neutral and calcareous soils. Typical sites include broken turf on cliff edges, open, droughted slopes and banks, rabbit scrapes, tracks, poached gateways, building sites and gardens. The seeds appear to be long-lived, and populations may reappear after disturbance or persist for many years.
"Annual Herb with fibrous roots and numerous spreading, ascending or decumbent, little branched leafy stems grows on Dry grassy banks and path-sides mostly on chalk or limestone in full sun. Yellowish-green foliage with pale yellow flowers." from Small-flowered buttercup page.
This perennial or sometimes annual species grows in slow-flowing streams and rivers, coastal lagoons, shallow lakes, ditches, ponds and dune-slacks. It is difficult to define its ecological preferences, as it grows in the upper reaches of highly calcareous rivers but in some areas favours base-poor waters; it has a broad trophic range.
"Perennial herb with submerged blue leaves with long weak collapsing segments when out of the water grows within ponds, ditches and streams throughout Britain and Ireland in full sun." from Various-leaved Crowfoot page.
A perennial herb with creeping stems, R. repens has a very wide ecological tolerance, but is most typical of disturbed habitats on damp or wet nutrient-rich soils, including woodland rides, ditch sides, farm gateways, gardens and waste ground. It also occurs in damp or periodically flooded grasslands, in dune-slacks and on lake shores. It is absent from very acidic soils.
A stoloniferous perennial herb of lake shores, growing on gravel or silty sand. At the Loch of Strathbeg (N. Aberdeen), where it has been known since 1876, it grows in open vegetation in a zone of Eleocharis palustris which is intermittently exposed above the water level in summer.

Once you have thought carefully about managing your data in Excel, you will probably find that you want to use it to improve your presentations. Charts are a powerful way to increase your creativity and show your information. Here are a few tips for creating a chart in Excel.
Creating charts and diagrams in Excel isn't much of a pain, but opening the customization menus can make it easy to feel lost. We will start below with the assumption that you have all your data on your sheet.
1. Choose the right type of chart for your data. Excel offers nine different optionHowever, not every graph is suitable for every type of data.
2. Highlight your data and insert your charts what exactly goes on your chart. As with many other Excel functions, just highlight your information and make your selection in the chart section of the Insert tab .
3. Make sure your data is on the correct axis. Sometimes you notice that your data is entered on the wrong axis. After all, Excel cannot read your thoughts completely. To switch the axis, right click on your graph and choose Select Data . Now click on Switch row / column .
4. Now it's time to play with the design and the colors. Click on the tab Chart design and now you can choose from a number of preset chart designs. You can also format the legend of your chart by clicking on it.
5. You can also adjust the size of your legend to make it easier to read. To do this, click on any label or legend and go to the Home tab to adjust the size.
6. Adjust the Y-axis measurement options if necessary. You can click on the Y axis and select Format Axis to change the format to percentages and even manage the number of decimal places.
7. Finally, name your chart. Naming your chart is one of the easiest waysr chart is showing. You want to make sure it is specific without being too long and cumbersome.
Now you have a detailed, well-named and informative graph. You are one step closer to becoming an Excel expert.
Once you master graphs and charts, you can handle a good deal of what many people do in Excel every day. . However, a little more training can help strengthen your skills as a professional. Luckily for you, we emphasize a beginner-friendly learning kit that can do just that 45 hours of content to get you started. You can explore everything from formulas and spreadsheet management to macros and pivot tables.
The eight modules in the learning kit have a total combined retail value of $ 1,600, but you can get started for only a fraction of the price. Tech Deals currently offers access for just $ 39.

On-premises servers have long been the choice for businesses when choosing how best to implement their network and backup solution. Since cloud technology was introduced, we are seeing more businesses move their local servers into the cloud and onto cloud-based servers. There are many reasons why this is happening.
Cloud servers are usually held in large data centres and are accessed using an internet connection. Users of a cloud-based server are effectively renting the server space, rather than owning a physical server. A locally stored server is a server which you physically buy, own and keep on-site with you.
Cloud server infrastructure is usually paid for on a monthly basis with the amount depending on your requirements. On-premises servers either need to be paid for upfront or financed.
With on-premises servers, upgrading means paying more and more money for additional hardware as your needs grow. However, what happens if you wanted to downgrade if your needs were to decrease? You’d be stuck with hardware which is of no use to you. With cloud-based technology, upgrades and downgrades are handled by your cloud provider. They provide you with the additional hardware and decrease where necessary. Meaning the initial outlay of hardware costs and the ongoing maintenance and backup charges are not necessary either. The monthly fee you pay to have a cloud-based server covers all of this.
Running a locally stored server means 24/7 costs in electricity to your business. With cloud-based server technology, the data centre is responsible for all of these costs. You don’t have to shell out more and more money for ever-rising energy costs.
Cloud infrastructure from companies like Microsoft or Amazon meets far higher standards of compliance than locally stored servers, primarily due to cost restraints. By choosing a cloudcompany data is secure. Data is held with a provider who offers verified compliance with international, regional and industry standards and regulations. Cloud infrastructure from the likes of Microsoft is designed to ensure that your company data is backed up regularly and easily restorable in case of issues, in a compliant manner. In a locally stored server, it would be were being met. Ensuring this of course can become expensive to initiate and maintain.
With on-site server technology, it is often the case that your employees must either be connected to your local network on-site or have to be connected to your server using a VPN. Neither is ideal if e at any time. Whilst connecting via a VPN may seem like the obvious solution, it isn’t always ideal. VPNs can cause connections to slow. They can make working from anywhere other than your physical location frustrating for your employees. This can certainly affect productivity in the long run.
With cloud-based server technology, your employees can adopt a true hybrid working model. Working from anywhere, at any time,based infrastructure is designed so that no matter whether your employee is sitting at an office desk at your location or halfway across the world at a conference, their experience is the same. With no connection slowing or loss of access to important files, they may need. Users are not restricted to accessing via a laptop or PC, Cloud services (like the offering from Microsoft) also include apps accessible on mobile and tablet devices.
When a local server has an issue or goes downin which your employees are unable to access their files. And, in some cases, their systems until the issues are fixed. With a physical locally stored server, this means finding an engineer with specialist knowledge of server technology to visit, diagnose, fix and restore that server. This can mean that the downtime for your business can run into hours, if not days.
With cloud-based server technology, data is distributed and stored in multiple locations. This allows maintenance to happen on these servers without you even realising it. The majority of issues with cloud-based technology can be resolved by contacting your provider or IT team. Issues can be managed and resolved remotely rather than through a site visit with minimal (if any)Cloud-based Infrastructures and how they can benefit your business.

A home remodel projectdemolition, drywall repair, fixture installation, and clean up. All these stages are associated with their project cost estimates and prices, which may increase as the job is underway if additional issues need to be addressed.
During a project, you may incur added costs if your home isn’t up to code, you need to make structural changes, or you have to find alternate accommodations while work occurs. The average cost to remodel an entire home is $47,000, which can be quite an investment. Before you get discouraged, consider some. These money-saving strategies can make your home remodel easier to achieve without breaking the bank.
Making a budget and ensuring you’re sticking with it through every phase helps eliminate some of the surprises that could negatively impact your long-term financial situation.
Become an expert on the type of project you want to tackle before you begin. There are many resources, such as books on construction, videos, and experts to help you understand the process.
Speak with friends or family members who have done recent home remodeling projects and listen to their stories. When you do extensive research, you may find it easier to identify potential challenges before they occur. This allows you to prepare financially and within your estimated timeline for these problems.
Create a plan that includes a detailed vision of your completed projec include a rough timeline of the project and cost estimates for each phase.
The information included in your plan depends on the type of home renovation you’re performing, but may include demolition, installation, and finishing touches. With a solid plan, you know what to expect and it’s easier to stay on budget.
When you’re try it’s tempting to skip permit applications. However, if your project requires a permit, it’s more financially beneficial to obtain the permits before completing the work. If you don’t, you may be forced to tear up the project after it’s completed and re-do it according to code, which can cost you double.
Painting, replacing bathroom fixtures, or installing new lighting generally doesn’t require permits but it’s best to check with a contractor first.
Inclement weather can slow down your progress, which increases what you’re paying for labor or alternate lodging. If you plan to hire a contractor for help with remodeling, keep in mind, they’re most likely more in demand in the summer months since the weather during that time of year is usually more favorable for construction. Consider taking a chance and starting your project in the fall to potentially cut down on contractor costs.
For smaller projects, you may be able to remodel your home yourself without a contractor, which could save you money. However, this option is only worth it if you already have the DIY home tools you need for the project and if you know you can complete the project quickly and achieve quality work.
If your home remodel project includes tasks you’re not equipped to complete or don’t feel comfortable doing, you may need to enlist the help of a remodeling contractor. There are many complex home renovation projects you shouldn’t DIY, especially those that involve electrical, restructuring, or plumbing work.
Before you hire and work with a contractor, ensure they have experience with your specific project, and check their references. When you’ve narrowed down your choices, ask your contractors for bids on your project so you can review their cost estimates. When you choose the contractor with the most reasonable pricing for their quality of work, you’ll save money on the job.
 The average bathroom remodel budget includes 10% to 20% in brand-new fixtures alone. If you repaint, refinish, or repurpose your current vanity and tub, you can easily complete a bathroom remodel under budget.
Clean up and haul away can also be hefty expenses because they may require hours of labor. Most homeowners spend about $200 to $300 on debris haul away. If you invest your sweat equity and haul the materials away to your local landfill or recycling facility yourself, you’ll save money on the project.
In 2019, it cost an average of $55.36 per ton to dump debris into a landfill Before spending money to dump materials or items you no longer need, consider donating them. If these items are in good shape, you can take them to a thrift store or donation center, such as Habitat for Humanity, for free.
Use designer brands to pull inspiration for your design and decor. However, when it comes time to buy the fixtures and accessories for your project, consider purchasing lesser-known brand-name items to save money.
The average cost to move a single plumbing line is between $650 and $1,500 but this price doesn’t include fixing the drywall or other damage that’s caused when you move these pipes. If your current project layout involves moving plumbing lines, it may be beneficial to explore other alternatives.
Your home improvement project may call for specialty tools. Instead of investing in tools that you may only need once or twice, consider renting them instead. For example, a multi-functional tile saw costs about $1,200 to buy, or you can rent one for about $50 a dao rent tools instead of purchasing them.
Home remodeling can be an expensive undertaking but most projects are well worth the investment. To ensure your next renovation project remains budget-friendly, use these tips to save money throughout the process.

*Due to the restricted tidal conditions, the cruise may return to Poole Quay via the North Channel. </s> Putting up a for-sale sign can mark a new stage in life for empty-nesters and their children alike.
“It was a big house, an old house,” Portner, a 56-year-old marketing-communications professional, told me. “The taxes were really high.” So, they moved to nearby Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, cutting their tax bill to a third of what it once was. “We are able to save money that we can use for travel and for saving for our kids’ needs.”
Portner and her husband moved after her youngest child left for college and their large Tudor-style home was no longer the hangout hot spot it was when her kids were younger. Leaving the neighborhood was difficult, but ultimately, as is the case for many parents who have sold their home, as empty-nester syndrome set in, putting up the for-sale sign seemed like the natural next step. Though these moves can signal an important transition in life for both parents and children, selling the family home becomes an emotionally fraught manifestation of that change.
“The way a lot of people talk about moving in terms of jobs and taxes and things like that, that’s really not the immediate cause,” says Thomas Cooke, a demographer at the University of Connecticut. “The way demographers … look at it is in terms of a life course. The basic idea is that at different stages in the life course, different places have different values to you.”
According to the Census Bureau, a majority of the 4.8 million 55- to 74-year-old movers in 2017 stayed within the same county, but about a fifth of them left for a different state. Where empty nesters decide to move depends on several factors, such as proximity to their workplace, where their adult children live, and—if they’re already retired—the weather and community amenities that can make aging as comfortable as possible. Portner and her husband, for instance, decided to move less than a mile away from their own parents.
“Our move reflects changing priorities and a shift in caretaking from our kids to our parents,” Portner says. “Whereas our lives were focused around our children, and our house in Elkins Park was just a few blocks away from our day school and our synagogue, now we are very close to our parents, who are getting older.”
For Patricia Lara Garza—a 63-year-old corporate-relations director who moved from Wilmette, Illinois, to Chicago in 2017—shedding the family home not only saves her roughly $1,000 a month, but it has also improved her quality of life. Since she works in Chicago and both of her children live there, too, she says there was nothing keeping her in the suburbs. She can now “be part of the city and do the cultural things” without the

“The value of the associate business membership program is centered on advocacy engagement and deepening our collaborative relationships,” she continues. “We very much value this support.”
“afety of e-cigarettes and their total impact on smoking rates,” said Minister Crothers. “Our goal is to find a balance that minimizes possible health risks to children and other bystanders, while acknowledging that some individuals use these products to help them quit smoking.”
“We are pleased to see the Manitoba government taking action to regulate e-cigarettes,” said Murray Gibson, “These new measures would protect youth from nicotine addiction and the possible dangers of e-cigarette vapour and would curb the growing use of e-cigarettes by non-smokers.”


I find it interesting to interact with other people around my head coverings. Is a "thank you" all I should say in response to praise, or is it worth mentioning this blog, or adding a comment about how much fun I find it, or something about its significance?
What is a Shterntikhl?
The article describes a variety of different sorts of head coverings from different eras, and for different occasions. I look forward to sharing some more snippets from this article, as well as finding some more information to share about the way that some of our ancestors dressed. This one certainly seems festive, and involves less fuss (but also less creativity) than what I will put together for a head covering, when going to a wedding...
What do you think of the flower?A nice ornament, or overkill/too busy?
Not the most amazing photos, but they work, right?
It's not the most clear of mishnayot, and it's late at night, so for now, I'll stick to translating the relevant pieces...
"If he punched his nose, pulled his hair, spit and the spit hit him, pulled his garment off of him, or bared a woman's head in the marketplace- he must give 400 zuz. Everything is according to a person's honor. Rabbi Akiva said: even the poorest person in Israel, we should see him as if he were a free person who had lost his possessions. A story about someone who bared a woman's head in the marketplace, and came before Rabbi Akiva, and he [Rabbi Akiva] obligated him to give her the 400 zuz. He said to him, "Rabbi, give me time", and he agreed. He found her standing at the entry to her courtyard, and broke a container before her, and there was an isar [a small amount] of oil in it. She revealed her head, and soaked up the oil, and put it on her head. He establishes witnesses, and came before Rabbi Akiva, and said to him, "Rabbi- for this one should I give 400 zuz?" He said, "You haven't said anything, because one who injures themself, even though it is not permitted, it is not punished, but others who injure them, are liable."
The Pagan blogs that I've looked at have had a strong focus on personal choice and individual calling to cover. However, that doesn't exempt them from the discomforts that head-covering can bring- including discrimination. Here is a response to that issue. I think it is fascinating to see how a community that revolves around a voluntary practice can call for things that a community that sees the same practice is mandatory might not do...
One of the things that I noticed playing a very strong role in his comments, as well as in the comments of the Mordechai, whom he quotes, is the force of communal practice. The thing that establishes what is permissible to wear is what is the norm. The norm in his community, like that of the Mordechai, is that "בתולה הרגילה בגילוי שער ", a "virgin...
When taken in a modern light, I'd end up taking this approach to mean that since women don't generally cover their heads in our (American) society, they don't need to- even married women. I've seen modern writers and rabbis take this approach. It has a certain loyalty to one meaning of modesty, from the perspective of not standing out, not drawing attention. At the same time, I don't know which communal norms I should be judging by, in the modern world. The local general community?The local Jewish community?The Jewish community/movement with which I prefer to affiliate?


According to the CBA, suspended players count against the salary cap. Per capgeek, the Kings currently have less than $500K in available salary to work with. That means they can’t simply call a player up from Manchester to replace Slava Voynov’s spot on the roster. For example, Jeff Schultz makes $850K per year. Yes, a team’s available cap space goes up every day, but the Kings number won’t grow that much for quite some time. It was originally estiman’t have the cap room for a call up until around November 10. A more cost effective option at that point would be somebody like Vincent LoVerde, who only brings a cap hit of $550K…


Attracting pond wildlife will not be hard once you have your pond up and running. Depending on the size of your pond, creatures of all shapes and size may flock to your pond whether that is your goal or not. Birds, insects, turtles, lizards, frogs and maybe even snakes are all likely to appear at any time. There are two groups of pond owners, those who prefer wildlife around their pond and those who don’t.
For those of you out there who are against attracting pond wildlife, that is o.k. Unfortunately, if you are one of these people then not attracting wildlife to your pond may prove a difficult task because after all your pond is outdoors. A good way to discourage wildlife around your pond is by keeping the grass cut consistently and minimize the amount of trees, shrubs and nesting areas around your pond. You may also consider the use of an herbicide enjoy attracting pond wildlifethose little critters around your pond. An eye catching addition to any pond would be large rocks and would serve plenty of useful purposes for wildlife. You could also add small shrubs or bushes around the outer edges of your pond. Trees are something to consider even though they often increase maintenance to your pond because of the leaves and such.
Attracting wildlife, such as birds is easy and definitely adds flavor to your pond. Try a cute little bird bath on the outside of your pond or floating retreats in your pond for the birds to rest on. You could also have a traditional bird house hanging near your pond for looks and to attract the birds.
Flowers are also great for attracting pond wildlife and they are definitely easy on the eyes. Provide some shallow areas for wading. Add a variety of fish to your pond. Having sun on your pond is crucial but adding a couple of shady areas would be beneficial when attracting pond wildlife.
Explore all of your options when attracting wildlife. Be fun and creative because it can only add to the appearance of your pond. If you build your pond, most likely the wildlife will come. But if you are truly into attracting pond wildlife, then have a blast creating a little escape for all the creatures.


. </s> Former RCMP watchdog warns commission heads liable to political sway
OTTAWA — The former RCMP watchdog says the government must change the way it appoints heads of independent commissions so they don't become beholden to their political bosses.
Paul Kennedy, whose four-year stint ended last week, said that chairmen should be named for a fixed term, in order to "remove temptation" from appointees to work as an agent for the governing party, for fear of being sacked.
Kennedy's Dec. 31 departure leaveudderless, with nobody keeping an independent eye on the embattled national police force.
, could not confirm Monday when a replacement will be named.
Kennedy, a lawyer and senior bureaucrat who took the post in October 2005, had been reappointed three times to one-year terms.
The former chairman relentlessly campaigned during his tenure to strengthen oversight of the RCMP.
"That's a massive amount of federal policing that is beyond the purview of anyone to look at," said Kennedy, whose calls for increased oversight have been echoed in several reports.
A strengthened review body, said Kennedy, should have access to all RCMP files and be empowered to subpoena documents and compel people to testify.
Kennedy also noted that Van Loan cut the commission's budget by $600,000 last year, which he said reins in the ability of the body to carry out broad investigations, such as the recent probe into the RCMP use of Taser stun guns inKennedy's final weeks in office were marked by a public squabble with RCMP commissioner over his release of his Taser report, which was a scathing indictment against a force that Kennedy described as "massively inert." </s> The other morning, as I walked into his room, with his ears in my hand, he started saying, "Mommy, I want lunch. I want lunch, Mommy."
I knew he must be hungry, since he never wakes up asking for food the way he was on this particular morning.
In an attempt to quite him down, and prevent any melt-down type behavior, I looked at him, with his ears still in my hand, and said, "Drew, it's not lunch time. It is time for breakfast. Let's get you dressed and then we'll eat breakfast!"
Drew paused for a minute, then looked at me and said, "I want breakfast, Mommy!"
Now, I certainly don't think that Drew understood every single word that I said, but clearly he was able to read my lips enough in our conversation to understand that I was telling him that it was time for breakfast. It truly is amazing how much of a hearing child he really is. Even without his ears, he is able to communicate.
Emmi is lip-reading quite well also. We first discovered it when we made the mistake of discussing plans that she was not supposed to know about in front of her while I was changing the batteries in her processors. She immediately ran to inform her sister about what she had learned! I have since learned that whispering on the other side of the room also does not keep secrets, as she watches and picks up on what is being said. However, it is great for bathing, swimming, etc. It is especially great when we are swimming with other kiddos who don't know sign. We simply tell them to speak directly to her.

lease is basconsenting on various terms and conditions related to the property for a specific time.
Thfound generally in the property lease agreement. Any breach of these rights and duties may lead to termination of the whole lease period on the will of the landlord. But there are few remedies attached to it through which the landlord and tenant can have a sigh of relief.
There are many leasehold types like 999 years of lease or 99 years of lease. But 99 years lease is the most common one among tenants.
Generally, only one year lease is granted to the tenants, with or without the renewal options. It becomes tough to find a place on lease for months. There is no law regarding intimating through a notice to the landlord about the termination of tenancy before the contracts end by the tenant. But some contracts state that the parties can end the contract prematurely by giving two to three months’ notice prior or for renewing the contract.
Any party can prematurely end the contract but they have to pay the full month’s rent as compensation.
Legal enforcement is the major issue of not getting into a lease agreement. If there will be an oral lease then it will become difficult to enforce it in the eyes of law at the time of dispute.
And if it will be written and drafted in a proper manner then the draft will be of a great help for the court to determine their rights and obligations between the parties.
Who can claim if it breached?
There are only two parties involved in the property lease agreement, the one is a landlord and another one is the tenant.
As the property lease is a contract between the tenant and landlord, so if in case any dispute arises then only these two can claim their right in the court of law.
What goes into the clause?
The lease agreement should be clear with the payment part and about the rent for the attached amenities too. There should be an averment of security deposit which is given as security to the landlord by the tenant of the property. If in case any damage occurs then the security deposited will be forfeited for the repairs work or if the tenancy agreement is not complied with.
The clause will also contain one point for maintenance of the premises. As a man of ordinary prudence, the landlord will expect the tenant to take care of the property leased as his own. The charges incurred will be also specified.
For landlord- providing fit place for lease, quiet enjoyment of the leased property.
If in case you don’t enter into a property lease agreement and it’s all verbal agreement between you both , then in the situation you might not have any legal right to claim your part from the other person.
It’s all always said that any contract to make it enforceable in the eyes of law, you need to write it down on a piece of paper with the authentication so that it can be shown in the court of law.
· If in case the tenant doesn’t pay the rent after due date too, then the landlord can file a writ of distress in court, wherein the sheriff gets appointed and directed to seize and sell the foods inside the property and retain the unpaid rent from it. And if the rent is paid after it then the landlords have the duty to repossess the property.
3. A confidential meeting between the parties wherein the matter doesn’t get disclosed out of the court.
4. It is informal, expressive and beneficial for both the parties as it encourages the parties to sum upon a solution.
5. It is a flexible proceeding and a win-win situation between them.
6. Post-conflict relations are also preserved.
After the claim is filed the tribunal will fix it before the Registrar to settle the matter in mediation. The mediator will try to resolve the matter as per the settlement terms given by the parties within 10 or 14 days of lodging the complaint. If it doesn’t get fixed then the tribunal will fix a hearing after 7 to 10 days before the Referee. The Referee will also adjudicate for the settlement between the parties.
Therefore it is desirable to get a property lease enforced as soonthe landowner. </s> ’s DUnt – DUIDria

Their most advanced weapons, armies of "Console (Combat Neon Soldier Legend) Machines" destroy their opposition by the thousands in a grisly battle the scale of which no Gamer had yet witnessed!

Here are the included accessories for the Nokia N8:
the USB on-the-go adapter which will let you connect an external USB device presumably a flash drive) to your N8 and view or browse the files! YAY!!
stereo earphones were included (duh). The included earphones are awesome and a little too good at keeping me insulated from the world.
I *heart* USB On-the-go. Dead simple to use. I attached my 8gb usb stick and opening files took about 1 – 2 seconds. Not a big deal. Going back to the whole presentation scenario, if you don’t have a laptop with you, you can simply plug up your USB stick to the N8 and using the mini-HDMI connector to present on the monitor! 😛
Sound on the N8 is awesome. I’m not an audiophile, but even I ‘heard’ the difference and how ‘clear’ my music/video is. Whether it’s audio recording or listening to music, the sound stays true.
The lack of QWERTY input on the N8 is inconvenient and leads to a lot of tap-tap-tapping. The ‘good’ thing is apps like Opera Mobile and Gravity have control over the type of keyboard that can be brought up in *those* applications. Granted, the N8 has some wasted real estate that they could’ve used to increase the N8’s resolution and in turn, add the QWERTY keyboard. Nevertheless, I wasn’t as turned off as the Nokia N8 reviews I’d read only made me believe I would be.
Wi-Fi vs. MediaNet : WiFi works as advertised, but the N8 really bets that you have a data plan and like with the E71x, I’m having to dig into the Connection/Networking settings to make sure “Easy WLAN” is the default. Not a huge problem, but it’s just one that should be taken care of when you first get the phone in order to avoid “access denied” or “connection failed” messages if you don’t have a Data Plan and are using the N8
Default Browser Woes: So, there is a setting in the N8 that allows you to set *your* default application to open things like photos or accessing the internet. I downloaded and use Opera Mobile. However, for some reason, the N8 didn’t get the memo that Opera Mobile is my browser of choice. It’s quite irritating enough because opening links from applications in the N8 simply takes me to the crappy browser bundled with the N8. *sigh* Talk about death by a thousand cuts.
The Nokia N8 feels like a utility belt. It is a kickass phone, but the software ‘wrapper’ is lacking. I like the 3 “homescreens” idea, but I got a little concerned when I couldn’t find an easy way to get to “Settings”. Now, *that* would’ve been a dealbreaker but for the fact that I figured out you had to do the following to get to your settings:
Tap the “Menu” and tap on “Edit Homescreen”
Tap on the Widget and a little box will pop up with two options: “Settings” and “Remove”. Click on “Settings” and you’ll have the opportunity to add App shortcuts or Bookmarks to your widget.
Apple has this mindset of creating/inventing beautiful devices and this is why they’re laughing all the way to the bank. With Apple, I can only buy 1 phone: the iPhone. Google attempted this with their release of the Nexus One and they lost their nerve because their money maker is search.
You can buy a Nokia smartphone confident that any improvements introduced later to the Symbian platform, such as the user interface, can be made available to download on your device as well. No need to wait for Symbian^4 – the improvements we were planning for Symbian^4 will be introduced as and when they become available. In fact, we will no longer be talking about Symbian^3 or Symbian^4 at all – it will be one constantly evolving and constantly improving platform.
I’ll end this article for now with my raw impressions after using the Nokia N8 for less than 48hrs.

Wow, it's It's February!It's hard to believe that I'm already writing my blog for the month of February!Okay, let's get the mushy stuff out of the way—you know, hugs, kisses, and lovey-dovey stuff . . . LOL!
The problem is, many of us are hindered from doing God's perfect will because we're so busy worrying what folks think or say about us. Trust me, I'm speaking with credibility. I am fully persuaded that the majority of God's people dye without ever reaching their fullest potential, simply because they are worried about pleasing people. I would like to remind you that when Jesus walked on this earth, He had very few friends. Everything He did went against the religious and political ruler's way of thinking. Was He rebellious?No!
When I decided to be a God pleaser, Ior even agree with me. Nonetheless, I was determined to listen to the voice of God. I reminded myself that God is for me. See: Romans 8:31'm reminded of a character in The Women of Faith Series, Esther. In book one The Crooked Path she was faced with a lot of opposition as she endeavored to pastor a church and raise a teenage daughter. Nevertheless, in spite of the many trails, she continued to trust God. Was she perfect?


We have a number of fund-raising events planned for the summer term, so please do note these dates:
All your unwanted clothes, bedding, curtains, bags, belts and shoes can be put to good use! Bring them into school in the morning on 9th May and these can be weighed in to raise cash for school. The last Bag2School day raised £150, so you can spring-clean and fund-raise at the same time!
Bake ‘n’ Take Tuesday 14th May
Home baking will be needed for this Bake 'n' Take, so if you can help, please let us know. The Bake 'n' Take will start at 3 p.m. as usual.
Sponsor money from the Channel Challenge Sponsored Swim is due in by Friday 7th June.
International Summer Soirée Friday 21st June
This is our main social event for the summer term. We are hoping to have an evening of musical entertainment and games with an international flavour, coupled with foods from different countries. So far, we are planning to have Mexican chilli con carne, French boeuf bourgignon, Indian chicken curry, Italian lasagne and English sausage & Yorkshire puddings to suit every palate. Tickets for the evening will cost £7 and will be available from the office. Friends, parents and pupils from Year 7 upwards are invited to share in this evening and hopefully we will all have a great evening.
Sports Day Friday 12th July
The Sports Day will be on Friday 12th July from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. and parents are welcome to attend this event. Weather permitting, it will be held at Shaw Lane Cricket Ground as usual. All pupils will be taking part in this event which combines fun races with other games and sports.

The next FHHS Planning Meeting will be on Monday 15th April at 7.30 p.m. in school. It would be great to see as many people as possible at this meeting to plan fund-raising and social events for the summer term. Sports Day is always a highlight of the summer term (and hopefully the weather will improve sufficiently that we can do this outdoors this year!), so that is one event we already know about, but it would be good to have some new ideas and suggestions for events.
The Channel Challenge Sponsored Swim is well under way now, so if you have not sponsored one of our brave swimmers, please do so to raise funds for the school! I completed my 10 miles during the Easter holidays and a number of other staff, pupils and parents are also involved, so do please help to make this an amazing total we raise, not just a fantastic distance that is swum!
How are you getting on with the Channel Challenge Sponsored Swim?
This event started on 23rd March and will run through until the beginning of June, with a number of gallant volunteers swimming a range of distances to raise funds for the school. Pupils, former pupils, parents, governors and staff have all joined in:
Between us, we have pledged 59 miles, which has exceeded our target of 44 miles (that distance being the 'Channel Challenge' from Dover to Calais and back). Distances pledged range from 100 metres to 11 miles. Some have been swimming indoors:
Others have pledged to do this in the great outdoors (either in England or in warmer seas):
Our thanks go to all who are swimming for school and to all of you who have pledged sponsor monies - these need to be handed in by Friday 7th June at the latest.


The prophet Joel paints a pretty bleak picture here. The people of Israel were in dire straits: Their land was covered with locust swarms so enormous and destructive that it seemed the oft-foretold 'Day of the Lord' was here. Their grain and produce were utterly devastated, leaving trees so bare and fields so denuded that a raging fire couldn't have done more damage. The sun was darkened by huge, billowing clouds of the insects that were found as well in every food bowl and every bed in every person's home.
The 'Day of the Lord' is always close at hand. It's not just an epic eschatological event. Even if our particular nation happens to be prospering and none of our sons and daughters are fighting overseas, even if for some brief blip in history the entire globe is by some fluke safe and happy, the 'Day of the Lord' can fall upon any one of us in an instant.
Cancer or a cerebral hemorrhage can take our beloved ones away before we can say 'good bye.' Job loss and doctor bills can force us into homelessness or bankruptcy. Just as a follower of Jesus lives in his Kingdom here and now (Letter to the Colossians, chapter 1 verse 13, CEB) and our life is being judged here and now (First Letter of Peter, chapter 4 verse 17, CEB), so the Day of the Lord can get extremely "near" to each of us, just as it did to Joel's people. Any of us can be engulfed in, "a day of darkness and no light/ a day of clouds and thick darkness."
So, does that mean people assailed by bankruptcy or tsunamis are being punished for their sins -- or the sins of their nation, as some would have it? According to the one who teaches us about such things, Jesus of Nazareth, it's a bit more nuanced than that (see the Gospel of Luke chapter 13 for details). It's not that those people over there are sinners and should repent, it's that we are all sinners and we should all be repenting -- bankruptcy, Tower of Siloam, and tsunami or not.
Which brings us to Lent. As I've been allowing some famous Christians to hint at for the past 3 Lenten Sundays, to follow the Messiah is to repent. At its most basic, Christianity involves humility and self-renunciation. Everyone who wants to serve the Messiah needs to carve this inscription into their hearts: "Say no yourself, take up your cross, and follow me," (Gospel of Mark, chapter 8 verse 34, CEB).
But it's not "fasting", "weeping", and "tearing your heart" for their own sakes. Lent also tells us that even when we are in the depths of our darkest sin or our most awful suffering, even when we are in our own Day of the Lord, our God calls out to us with those heart-stopping words: "Yet even now..re.
