Supersprint Rear exhaust OO 80
The rear section is the first step of the R&D and the whole exhaust system optimization process.

The sporty sound is achieved from the accurate selection of the piping sections, of the unique inner silencer design, and dedicated to the specific vehicle model.

The same high care is kept in the choice of the outlet style, to ensure a pleasant car design customization

The installation procedure is easy and quick, because it exploits the same hangers of the stock exhaust.
No modifications, neither to the chassis, nor to the mechanical parts, are needed.

The existing EEC approval ensures a total legality in the everyday street use, it passes the periodical MOT inspections and avoids OBD control engine lights. It also ensures an absolute road safety and the respect of the most recent street standards, established from the worldwide car industry.

Every single safety features required from the car manufacturers are fully respected. No exceptions.
An example is the ideal tubing layout and the perfect thermal isolation from the excessive temperatures in the critical positions of the mechanical parts.
In this case all the Supersprint exhaust components fulfill the strict JASO (Japanese car Industry) obligations in terms of fire dangers, in the event of an accident.
The material used, AISI 304 and AISI 409 hi-grade stainless steel, are exclusively genuine European products.
The tubing and the stainless foils thicknesses are accurately selected and are properly used to match every single Supersprint exhaust applications upon the desired features which have been decided during the R&D process.
The durability of the Supersprint exhausts is by far longer than any of the stock equipments and is fully guaranteed for a 36 month time, limit-free mileage.

College The Musical

Part of The New York Musical Theatre Festival

Theatre Reviews by Matthew Murray

If you're assuming that a New York Musical Theatre Festival show titled College The Musical, set in a dorm room before, after, and especially during regular rocking keggers, is unlikely to drip with profundity, you're right. Authors Drew Fornorola and Scott Elmegreen make no attempt to hide the fact in their program bios that they're both recent Princeton grads; their show's focus on college's traditional niceties - booze, sex, and videogames - and the looming specter of an uncertain adulthood ahead would have given them away in any event. But whoever said that elegance requires eloquence?

In the way it embraces pizza-scented confusion and beer-stained hopes without excusing them, College The Musical is an unusually advanced example of young men finding their voices while writing about other young people finding their own. Fornorola and Elmegreen fearlessly employ familiar archetypes and stereotypes to show how one properly oriented can escape them; this is more daring than you might think when major characters include a gym-obsessed jock, a caffeine addict, and a bulging-eyed cop just dying to catch them and their friends doing something illegal.

The specific story revolves around freshman Nathan (Michael Jennings Mahoney), who stumbles into a nonstop bacchanal in which he learns that round-the-clock partying isn't all it's cracked up to be. The efforts of the group's ringleader Jay (Rob Hancock) to bring Nathan permanently into the fold, and the attempts of the moderation-focused Katherine (Marie-France Arcilla) to keep him grounded, both against the background of the eternally alluring abdication of responsibility, make for more tension than you might expect.

The score operates much the same way, subtly evolving from expansive revels into (relatively) pointed social and emotional commentary. The entropy of the partying life mutates from realistic numbers to the surreal, not-so-mock-religious "Alcoholeluia"; the ultimate drunken dating rationalizing "Good Enough for Now" is sung directly against "All Together, All Alone," which is heartbreaking in its unadorned romantic plaintiveness. Nathan's musical journey from libidinous youth to more-sensible man utilizes many of the same ideas and phrases, as if to prove that growing up doesn't always change who we are at heart.

If this isn't rigorously original writing, it's at least genuinely thoughtful. The addition of real experience behind the scenes no doubt helped - musical director Mark Hartman and director Jeremy Dobrish have luxuriously recognizable names, and bestow their gravitas and professionalism on an up-and-coming team that needs exactly that. While the performers as a whole aren't particularly memorable - the lovely, naturally honest Arcilla; Damon Gravina as the neurotic bookworm; and Sandy Rosenberg as the absurdly Keystone cop, Officer Agnes, being the exceptions - they sound terrific and bring the right festive energy to Boo Killebrew's intoxicated choreography and the rest of the show.

Except, of course, during "Generation Meh," the late-show song in which they're roused to inaction by the belief - shared by so many in their late teens and early 20s - that they can never make a difference, so why bother trying? Their apathy keenly defines the plight of millions failing to find something in the modern world worth fighting for. But this song - like much of the rest of College The Musical - happily proves that Fornorola and Elmegreen don't subscribe to that philosophy themselves.

Florida Lawyer’s mugshot ironically ends up next to his ad

Florida DUI Lawyer.jpgFiled under the “any publicity is good publicity” school of thought, a Florida lawyer’s marketing plan backfires when his mug shot is featured next to his legal ad.

According to a blurb in the aba (American Bar Association) journal, Florida DUI Lawyer Thomas L. Edwards was arrested on multiple charges including Driving Under the Influence, Reckless Driving, and two counts of leaving the scene of an accident with property damage among others.

In an ironic marketing twist, the lawyer’s mugshot ended up next to his Gainesville law firm ad where he is seen smiling (though in a nice suit instead of jail garb). Making matters worse, this same attorney was interviewed by The Gainesville Sun back in 2007 when the subject of bad-looking mug shots came up.
Mr. Edwards was quoted as saying:

“Mug shots, unfortunately, are never good pictures. They’ve usually got people who are in compromised positions,” said Gainesville defense attorney Thomas Edwards.

“They arrest you and you’re not looking so good. They’re not going to give you a plastic comb. They are not going to concern themselves if you look like crap.”

Short of someone turning themselves in at the jail, most people can’t prepare for getting their mug shot taken, Edwards said.

Legally, he added, there’s nothing a defense lawyer can do about a bad mug shot except make sure it doesn’t prejudice a jury that will hear the case.

Based on his calm, smiling mugshot, this DUI attorney might have practiced looking good for the camera.

dui 3.png While it is common to read articles about celebrities and politicians getting special treatment when breaking the law, the reality for lawyers, doctors or other professionals is often different. While most people assume that the “good old boys” club protects its own, that is usually not the case.

Here in Pinellas County, if an assistant state attorney or public defender gets arrested, many times the case will be transferred nearby (such as Hillsborough) to avoid the appearance of impropriety. These same lawyers, rather then getting kid glove treatment are often judged harsher then others would be. This is because the media is sure to report on these arrests and the aftermath.

In this case, it is too early to guess what may happen. Mr. Edwards was asked to comment and through his assistant gave the following statement: “Under the American criminal justice system all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty.”

Have you or a loved one been arrested for a DUI or a traffic offense? Then call the Pinellas DUI defense lawyers of Blake & Dorsten, P.A. today! These former prosecutors are experienced trial attorneys who handle all criminal and auto accident cases throughout the Gulf coast of Florida including Pinellas county, Hillsborough, Pasco, Sarasota, Manatee, Citrus and Polk.

Strathpuffer 2017

Tom has been looking forward to this year’s Strathpuffer ever since we were successful in getting one of the sought after solo places for him. Aged 11, it would be the third time he has ridden this event.

The weather at Strathpuffer is normally a major feature in the event. In 2015 we had snow, in 2016 there was mud. The forecast for 2017 was benign though, which in some ways was a bit of a disappointment. Maybe this would be the ‘puffer riders would remember as the “easy” one.

Tom again was riding an Alpkit Sonder Transmitter, whilst I was riding their carbon fat bike, the Vir Fortis.

Our plan was simple, to try and better the 13 laps that Tom had ridden in 2016.

The first three laps this year were ridden in 2:46:53 compared to 03:36:55 the year before, so we were off to an excellent start. On the fourth lap though I had a flat right in the middle of the super muddy bit. I decided to push the bike back to our camp where I could wash the tyre and wheel in the river before inserting a new tube which cost us a good 20 minutes.

Other than that mishap our lap times were 15-20 minutes faster than last year’s.

Once the sun went down, unsurprisingly it started getting cold. As the night progressed some bits of the course became covered in black ice.

We’d borrowed some Exposure Six Pack lights to supplement our Exposure Toros. However they were so bright on their low setting that we never used our own lights. Recommended.

On lap 11 somewhere around 10pm Tom’s sleep monsters started to take hold. He’d hoped to ride without sleeping. It became clear that this was not going to happen. Just before 11pm we stopped for sleep. We had just under 4 hours sleep, or at least Tom did. Revived, we were back out there before 4am.

On the lap after our sleep, we both had a couple of near crashes, the cause, there was now loads of the course covered in black ice.

We rode a little slower than before on the icy sections to avoid mishap.

Still, with 22 hours on the clock we’d bettered last year’s 13 laps. Time for a sit down, and some food and drink.

We weren’t done though, we’d worked out there was still time for another couple of laps.

At 10:36 we finished our 16th lap. Strava stats -103.6 miles, 12,403′ of climbing, and a moving time of 17:15:53. That was good enough to secure 33rd male solo out of 90 competitors.

Once again Tom got a trophy and prize for the youngest rider, and I, a bottle of beer for being his wingman.

We would like to thank the organisers and marshals at Strathpuffer. The race is definitely a must do, and a highlight of our year.

Thanks also to Alpkit for the bikes, and Exposure for the lights.  A big thanks to my wife who gave up her weekend to stand about in the cold and looked after Tom and I, and thanks to Dean who helped out with pit duties.  Finally a thanks to the other competitors and spectators for cheering Tom on.

See you in 2018!

ASUS GTX 750 Ti OC 2 GB 21

ASUS GTX 750 Ti OC 2 GB Review

Temperatures & Clock Profiles »

The overclocking results listed in this section were achieved with the default fan and voltage settings as defined in the VGA BIOS. Please note that every sample overclocks differently, which is why our results here can only serve as a guideline for what you can expect from your card. On NVIDIA cards with boost, the values discussed here are base clock. Boost will further increase clocks.

Clocks listed here are base clocks; NVIDIA Boost will further increase clocks.

Maximum overclock of our sample is 1200 MHz GPU base clock (12% overclocking) and 1505 MHz memory (11% overclock).

GPU overclocking works well, but is constrained by NVIDIA's power limiter. Once you exceed a certain clock frequency, the card will drop down to base clock to avoid drawing too much power. While I can certainly accept this behavioral pattern with other GTX 750 Tis since they are limited to the 75 W of a single PCI-Express slot, I find it unacceptable for the ASUS GTX 750 Ti OC because it comes with an additional 6-pin power connector. It seems as though ASUS did not configure their BIOS correctly around utilizing the 6-pin connector, instead hoping people will buy their card because it is capable of drawing more power for a potentially better overclock.

Memory doesn't overclock that much either, despite the fast that the Samsung chips we've seen on other GTX 750 Tis OC much better.

Maximum Overclock Comparison
Max. GPU ClockMax. Memory ClockFPS
ASUS GTX 750 Ti OC1200 MHz1505 MHz51.3 FPS
Palit GTX 750 Ti StormX Dual1265 MHz1640 MHz54.8 FPS
NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti1145 MHz1675 MHz51.1 FPS
MSI GTX 750 Ti Gaming1210 MHz1675 MHz53.7 FPS
Important: Each GPU (including each GPU of the same make and model) will overclock slightly
differently based on random production variances. This table just serves to provide a list of typical
overclocks for similar cards, determined during TPU review.

Overclocked Performance

Using these clock frequencies, we ran a quick test of Battlefield 3 to evaluate the gains from overclocking.

Actual 3D performance gained from overclocking is 13.8%.

A quick introduction

Just wanted to do a quick introduction since most people on the site only know me by my site alias "sMoRTy71."

By day, I am the site manager for TechRepublic; however, I have also taken on the challenge of writing "Practical Gadgetry" because I love my employer... 's access to review units of all of the latest gadgets.

I have been struggling with my gadget addiction for well over 10 years and, according to my wife, the gadgets are winning. Our house has turned into a giant lab for tinkering with new products. We currently have 3 HDTVs (65", 32" and 26"), 4 Windows Media Center PCs, 2 TiVos, 2 Slingboxes (original and AV), an XBOX 360 with HD-DVD add-on, an original XBOX, a Nintendo Wii, 2 Nintendo DS Lites, a 5G iPod, a Windows Home Server with 900GB of storage, a Drobo with 1.3TB of storage, a Harmony 880 remote and a bunch of other stuff that I won't mention, like the subwoofers I have wired to my couch, because actually typing all of that stuff out made me realize that my wife might be onto something.

I am also a frequent beta tester of products and services. Past betas that I've been involved with include XBOX Live and Slingbox.

So hopefully you will be able to use my "condition" to your own benefit as I find out which gadgets are worth buying and which ones should be avoided. I also hope to share some useful tips for getting the most out of the gadgets you already own.

If there's something you'd like me to cover or you just have a question, send me an e-mail at shawn dot morton at cnet dot com.

Lengthy synchronizing with Server 2008 when logging off of workstation

By barth.travis ·

I have a small LAN with 5 Windows XP Pro workstations and one Windows Server 2008 configured as a domain controller and file server.

On the workstations the My Documents directory is redirected to the file server.

When logging off there is a quick message stating that something is synchronizing with the server. Sometimes the process takes a couple minutes (according to the person telling me about this).

Any ideas as to what is happening and why it takes extra time sometimes?

Thank you,

I've seen the machines do they synch, but I haven't seen one take an extended amount of time to do it. I am currently on a different island so I can't go see this for myself.

I'll have them disable the service and see if that makes them happy.

Vista and Outlook 2003

By tlane ·
My Outlook is acting up. It no longer pulls up email addreess when I type a name or partial name (autofill still works), will not use distribution lists or allow BCC.

Can someone help me please!?!?!

Here's the additional detail you might need:

Brand new Dell E1405 notebook
Runs on Vista Home Premium.
Fully functional version of Office 2003 including Outlook 2003 that was used on old computer.

I spent two weeks in tech-support **** because outlook would not work at all out of the box. I finally got a smart guy on phone who had me uninstall an outlook add on. This took me from not working at all to the above situation.

Please advise.

Same problem here

by davet In reply to Vista and Outlook 2003

Did you ever get a solution? I just got my daughter a new PC - Vista (not by choice, but that's now what's available). Her old PC was fried so I'm working from backups. Installed her office 2003, copied over her .pst file, and all looked good. But she tries to do an email but can't pull addresses from her contacts. The contacts are there - viewable through the contacts options, but not from the email "to" or "cc" options. Sounds like exactly what you have.
4/18 update: I got it working. Don't know if it's the same situation as you, but outlook decided I had two different sets of contacts, an empty one (which it decided was the default) and my "real" one. You can confirm this by looking at the Address book, in the "Show Names from the" drop down box - if there's two Contacts listed, that's the problem. I found the answer in outlook help. Under Tools-Email Accounts, choose "View or change existing directories or address books". From there go into the Outlook Address Book and remove the first one. That will force the 2nd to the top and should have all your contacts in it.

What Makes Our Logo Design Cheap But With A High Quality?

On-site review included visit at call center premises and bilateral talks with employees

As part of the regular monitoring process regarding the Employee Relations Policy (ER Policy), an on-site visit took place on April 21st and 22nd 2014 in Zagreb at Hrvatski Telekom (HT).

HT went through its biggest reorganization last year including headcount reduction, outsourcing employees to Ericsson and many changes on board level, this decreased the satisfaction of employees. However, HT still ranks best employer of choice for highly educated population in Croatia.

At the end of 2014 HT met all financial targets. HT’s CEO Davor Tomašković introduced new optimization projects this year which prioritize employee and customer satisfaction besides economic success. Employee communication at HT is generally ensured via different channels, for example via a CEO blog in the local intranet, town hall meetings and debrief sessions with managers after board meetings.

An important part of the on-site visit were bilateral talks with employees that also included agents from call centers. The discussions were very open. They showed a very positive, loyal staff that is enthusiastic to work for HT. Besides some minor critical remarks that are now discussed with local management, there was a lot of positive feedback i.e. about the training all employees receive.

HT operates call centers in 4 different locations with a workforce mixture of internal and external employees. A certain percentage of leased workforce is necessary to meet business flexibility. Satisfaction rates among call center agents are measured on a regular basis. Many regular HT employees started out as students working in a call center. Every single element of the ER Policy has been analyzed and can be confirmed as implemented. Since 2010 an anti-corruption policy is in place and no strong corruption case has occurred within the last ten years. Regarding gender equality and work life balance, HT is even a front runner.

Results of the next few employee surveys will be monitored closely and, in case needed, follow up measures with the local management will be agreed upon.

"Brochures don't sell things, people do."

  • By Development Team
  • 26 Nov, 2015

Then like a bolt of lightning, the man I admired (and feared) the most - my boss and my mentor - stared at me and screamed from his office, “Come Here!”. Like a little boy ready to meet the principal, I rose from my desk and slithered into his office ready to take the punishment I knew was coming.

He looked me in the eyes, threw a crumpled up brochure on his desked and simple said, “You know what son? Brochures don’t sell things, People Do” he ended that quote with “Now get out of my office and start selling and stop being a representative of Sam the Printer”

He also banned me from the cupboard that contained the brochures. It was scary and tough but I tell you it changed me so fast and I sold more than ever from then on and I enjoyed a great lifestyle all because I stopped the glossy brochure routine and started asking buying questions.

So how does this walk back in history, motivational gem of a story get us back on the subject of websites? Well, your site is a salesperson for your Company, so we have to take a look and ask ourselves: Does it ask buying questions, or is it really just a brochure? Pretty to look at but really people just smile say thank you and walk away until they find another that asks them the, “Do you want to buy today?” question.

Yes, sites have to have a sensational first impression and that is why we design Customer Attraction Program, but looking great at a party doesn’t mean you will be popular! You have to do something, talk to people, ask questions and then you will leave an impression.

So what’s the missing link?

Take a good look at your site right now. Does it look great? Awesome pictures? Shakespeare text? Does it show all your products, services in a fashion that you are proud of? If you a restaurant, does your mouth get all mmmmmm when you look at the menu and the pictures? When your all excited, ready to book or buy is there a button ready and waiting for you to press and instantly like you’re in a trance enter your credit card details?

Is there a Call to Action? As that’s the missing link.

Call me, Buy me, Book me, Find me, Carrier Pidgeon me. Is there one or is there more Call to Actions when you have the buyer or booker ready willing and able to spend cold hard cash?

If the answer is Yes? Well done your website is a Salesman, if the answer is No? Better get rid of the Brochure!

There is no such thing as a free lunch!

If you are a motor mechanic and a customer walked in to ask for a tune and an oil change, would you offer them a seat on a nice cozy couch, make them a coffee, escort their family to send them into a service bay, work away with tender loving care for a few hours, present the keys back to the customer, say "Hey it's on us" and smile as they drove off?

I could ask the same question to a pub owner, a butcher, a baker, even a candlestick maker saying, "would you provide any service at all and just take a smile as payment?"

Okay, in between you saying to yourself, "Has TheCamel lost it, is he crazy?" Let me ask why. As in, why would you not do all that work for free?

Well, you have bills to pay, employees to consider, you must make a living as the old saying goes "Money doesn't buy happiness," well, let me say that your life would be miserable without money, fast.

The only problem? There is a lot going on in this world for free! FREE websites, FREE Software, FREE Social Media, FREE all sorts of things and people are clamoring for free stuff. This now leads us to the topic of this blog, "There is no such thing as a free lunch!"

Somewhere along the line, somebody must make money out of something, so they'd avoid the miserable category.

Free Website Builder? Of course, it's free but the hosting is not, and if you want the site to look great, we hope and pray that your technical ability is above left and right click of a mouse and also, beyond drag 'n drop. Then, if you need any of the sexy features, oops! Sorry, they are not free but seeing as you're halfway done might as well pay for those, too hard? Well, we can give you online help but that will cost you $X.

Free applications and software, wow great idea! You can really make the site shine now, but that is just the standard. You can't do anything free version with ads (as we need to pay for stuff you know). So hope you don't mind if your customers get the occasional pop-up video of Dolores Bath, House and Spa weekly specials. But, you need the app or software now you're in, so best to drag out the trusty Visa card.

All a bit much? Well, what about Facebook? Hey, you can make a free business web presence on that, no need at all for a website. You will even save yourself the hosting fees.

Great idea! But hang on, do you really think they will share with all your likes for free all those sexy posts about exclusive offers you're making? Be fair, they have multi-zillion on dollar salaries to pay, so sorry if you want all your customers to see what you're offering? That will cost you money each time and if they don't like your posts, sorry, that's all subject to the automated customer (read Robotic) service department of Facebook. So maybe you will have to adjust it to some zillion times to make it more of a picture than an offer, but hey, it's free!

Let's not also forget they are not just your customers, they belong to Facebook and they can also use the information to send competitor ads as well.

So, it's time folks, what's the point of all this today, am I anti-free stuff? No, I'm not. What I am trying to say is not all things for your business growth should be put in the FREE basket. The things that are super important, those first customer impressions - your website, those customer grabbing needs like SEO, booking services, etc. Maybe they are important enough to invest a little, to maybe look at experts to help you.

Then, your business can move towards the success path you want and deserve, and you can buy people lunch!

Elton John had a famous song, “Sorry seems to be the hardest word”. Elton John and Bernie Taupin wrote the song about a romantic relationship which is falling apart. The song has a chorus that pretty much explains the heartache, “So sad, so sad, why can’t we just talk it over, sorry seems to be the hardest word”.

Oh, the tears are falling on my keyboard as I type those words.

Must be honest, I really disagree with Elton and Bernie, I really don’t think “Sorry” is the hardest word, I think NO is.

Think about it for a minute, if we said “NO” more often we would not have to say sorry, would we? Most relationships get into trouble as one or the other didn’t say NO to a mistake so ended up in a so sad, so sad SORRY conversation. Many people have lost their license as they didn’t say, “NO” to the last drink and end up so sad.

So sad your honor and I am truly “Sorry” for what I did as they get their license taken away.

You could look at most, “Sorry” conversations and it would be a good bet that if you or somebody else had said, “NO” there would not be a conversation and nobody would be getting into trouble or feeling sad sad situation.

So, what has this song got to do with websites and SEO and other business-related stuff? Well I’m glad you asked that question. Let me share my thoughts.

A lot of issues with non-performing websites those being ones that don’t convert lookers into buyers, and SEO work that does not convert to good rankings that allow people to find your website, both of which usually have a “Sorry” it’s not working conversation attached either with a designer or you with your customers or business partners could have been different if somebody said NO.

No to what, you might be asking? Well, in the case of the website, NO to way too much insignificant content, NO to lots of bells, whistles and moving objects that really have no impact, NO to a major focus on the desktop and not enough on the mobile. NO, to features and fixtures that have no focus on getting people to book and buy. NO to way too much reading and not enough clicking to action.

With SEO? NO to key words or phrases that will not narrow down the search to you, your business, where you are and what you sell or supply. NO to wanting to win a global search when you’re making hamburgers in downtown suburbia.

The good news? Unlike the song, the relationship can be fixed, a little bit of good SEO work, informative website design, will set the right music and have your business singing a love song to your customers and Google and then? No need for “Sorry”, you can move onto another song like “Happy Days are here again”.

I live in a fantastic city, it’s alive, it’s vibrant, shopping centers are busy, super market checkouts are long and the trolleys are full. I see more and more new cars on the road. It’s super exciting! A sign that all is doing well and prosperity is happening.

With all this success you start to see newer commercial buildings sprouting up to occupy the skyline and even old ones going through renovations. These commercial spaces need people to fill them and I imagine some people, young and old getting the old entrepreneurial juices running once they see a little spare cash in the bank account or maybe other family members have and they are the ones to take down the for-rent sign.

Yes, suddenly, these new cashed up wanna-be-successful business people get a flash in the head, fireworks start going off, a potential million-dollar idea is in process, dream of Porsches and Yachts stream through their brains as they tell the boss goodbye and start dumping that bank balance or a close family member on a deposit for one of those fresh new office lots or just renovated street front shop.

Yes, it all seemed like a good idea at the time.

I say good idea at the time for a reason. The reason is?

Well, I see all these new buildings and renovated ones having a lot of the for-lease signs being replaced with work in progress. I see a lot of new furniture, new clothing racks and people and stock arriving, but pretty soon I also see the removals’ coming, closing down sale signs falling and being replaced with “For Lease”.

You see, the problem is that 80% of those that get that overdose of entrepreneurial juice running? Fail and run out of money juice within the first 12 months of operating.

So, what are the major causes of failure?

  • Not Seeking Professional Advice
  • Lack of Good Customer Care
  • Copying Others
  • Lack of Experience
  • Unaccountability
  • Lack of Personal Growth
  • Poor Location
  • Lack of Focus
  • Wrong Expectation
  • Quitting Too Soon
So why am I writing about this today when I normally discuss websites, SEO and stuff like that. Well, we need the new business to be around, as we want to build websites, and do SEO work. I also know that a lot of other business need them to service as well so we can all help each other.

So, let me give you a little advice, something I have used to build a successful business that has grown but most importantly made it past that first one year and was not part of the 80%.

When you have one of those, “Seems Like a Good Idea” moments? Stop and listen to a great quote from Abraham Lincoln. A quote that I use every day to press the pause button when my mind starts to run faster than common sense.

When asked what he would do if he has six hours to cut down a tree? Abraham Lincoln replied, “I would spend four hours sharpening my axe”

So, folks, before committing your cash (or others) putting the deposit on a Porsche or a Yacht, grab the idea, a few sheets of paper and start thinking through a good business plan.

Spend a little time sharpening that axe before you attack the tree.

Product Details Supplier Info More products

Fluke has launched the 772 and 773 milliamp clamp meters, designed to help technicians test critical automation and control circuits without breaking the circuit or interrupting operations.

The tools are aimed at instrumentation technicians, contractors and process and control installers who carry out milliamp loop troubleshooting on process control circuits, instruments and automotive systems.

The 771, 772 and 773 milliamp clamp meters are engineered to accurately measure the minute amounts of current (4-20mA signals) that flow through control system circuits, without having to shut down the system, break the circuit and insert a test instrument.

Instead, sensitive current clamps placed around the wire detect and measure the current flowing through.

In addition, the Fluke 772 and 773 can be used to simultaneously source, simulate and measure milliamp signals in a broken circuit, negating the need for additional tools.

The Fluke 773 will also source and measure DC voltages for troubleshooting voltage input and output devices; will power a transmitter for independent checking of its mA output signal; and will provide a scaled output signal to provide data logging by a Fluke 280 series digital multimeter, for example.

Without breaking the loop, the backlit display will give simultaneous milliamp and percentage span readings, with milliamp resolution to 0.01mA.

The Fluke 771/772/773 feature a detachable clamp that can be used docked, or detached via its extension cable to facilitate measurement in tight spaces, and a hold function to capture and display changing measurements for convenient viewing.

A built-in flashlight illuminates wires in dark enclosures, and a battery-saving feature cuts in automatically after prolonged inactivity.

Users can also measure 10-50mA signals in older control systems using a 99.9mA range.

The Fluke 771/772/773 milliamp clamp meters are supplied with a soft carrying case.

Fluke Calibration

Fluke Corporation was founded in 1948, specialising in electrical test and measurement products. Early in its history, Fluke recognised that the very best electrical metrology would be needed to support its products and undertook to develop this capability. From this activity, the calibration business was born. Over the years, many breakthrough calibration products were introduced, establishing Fluke as a leader in electrical metrology.

In 2000, Fluke acquired Wavetek Precision Measurement. In 2001, Fluke’s calibration business expanded into the temperature field with the acquisition of Hart Scientific and then into pressure and gas flow with the acquisition of DH Instruments (2007), followed by Ruska and Pressurements (2010).

The unified business’s unmatched breadth and depth in metrology puts Fluke Calibration in a unique position to deliver today’s and tomorrow’s calibrations solutions to customers who demand the very best, supported by an organisation they can count on for the long term.

1000 Contests Were Won By A Man On Internet

An electric engineer of Motorola Solutions named, Hunter Scott has been able to win many gifts through Twitter. The gifts which he won include tickets of concert and movies, Godzilla shirt and hat, a mouse pad of Kentucky derby, YouTube profiles, numerous images modified related to gaming and a year of free subscription of Spotify.

Scott posted a blog about the gifts which he was able to get by a programming language known as Python. According to him there were some gifts which were just useless but also there were things which made him quite happy and he was enjoying the things happening to him like getting many strange things in the email. It was a great fun for him to find out new things in the email.

What did he actually do?

Python which is a programming language was the main source of becoming successful for Scott. With the help of this program, Scott made an instrument which assisted him in finding some particular kind of tweets for example “RT to win”. The function of that developed tool was then of retweeting the tweets. Sometimes, it is necessary that the person or the organization that has put an advertisement is to be followed as well so that you win the contest. Similarly, the robot which was made by him was performing that task as well.

Robots have been banned by the Twitter from social media which made it difficult for Scott as he had to do such activities by keeping them hidden from Twitter. Bans are also put on those accounts that have number of followers either less than 200 or above 2000.

This strict policy made Scott to program the robot according to that and it followed 2000 accounts accurately.

Scott shared the exact number of contest in which he participated through the program and what was the winning percentage of them. According to him, total contests were 165,000 in which he took part through his robot but he could win only 984 out of them that mean just 0.6 percent of them which he called a dejected percentage.

It was a duration of 9 months which made him win so many prizes but he did not take advantage of most of them did not go to any event or to watch any movie of which he won tickets except one event.

Concerts and movies were not the only things which turned down but he did not accept the most expensive gift included a limo and a chance for shopping of $4,000. The reason he gave was his home in Illinois that was why he was unable to go there to get the prizes and he did not have any intentions of paying the amount of taxes on those gifts.

Scott told that his most favorite prize was a cowboy hat which had the autographs of the Mexican soap opera stars.

EPIC. Jen Psaki Left Speechless When Confronted With Obama Debate Tape on Troop Withdrawal (Video)

State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki was left speechless when she was confronted with a tape of Obama bragging about how he took all the US troops from Iraq. Megyn Kelly played this tape from the October 22, 2012 presidential debate.

Mitt Romney: In regards to Iraq, you and I agreed, I believe that there should have been a status of forces agreement… Oh, you didn’t want a status of forces agreement?

Barack Obama: No, what I would not have done was left 10,000 troops in Iraq that would tie us down. That certainly would not help us in the Middle East.

Psaki was speechless.

Influencer Marketing is the New King of Content

Influencer marketing has been around for decades but it was only recently that we started to see why it's such an integral part of content marketing. Traditional advertising and pretty much any form of marketing coming from a brand isn't relatable enough anymore. REAL people are relatable. Whether you're running an ambassador program, sponsored post, Instagram takeover, large-scale blogger campaign (the list goes on!), influencer marketing is THE new king of content. While it's not the easiest form of content marketing to master, the results are well worth the effort. And you'll never look back once you see that ROI skyrocket!

Why Influencer Marketing Is The New King of Content [INFOGRAPHIC]

Brands are diving in head-first because the benefits are endless: increasing sales, exposure, credibility, customer loyalty, user-generated content, growth on social channels, content virality, page rank, the list goes on.

Customers turn to influencers because their advice and recommendations are genuine AND the information is presented to them at the right time. When a customer is browsing a blog about home-decor...that's the perfect time to present them with beautiful imagery and a link to that Eames chair you're selling. It's shown within the context of a trusted influencer's home and that works! This contextual approach is much more effective than forcing spammy ads in their face first thing in the morning...right when they're getting to work. What's more, influencers can reach a giant network of targeted people that could be your next loyal customers. Pretty sweet, right?!

Check out the infographic we, at The Shelf, created. It walks through all of the high level points you need to know about influencer effective it is, how many brands are utilizing it, a breakdown of influencers according the the industry, what you can gain when utilizing influencer marketing, and more. If the stats here strike your fancy, feel free to use it on your own blog or social network - you can find the embed code for entire the infographic at the bottom of this post.

Just copy and paste the code below to embed this infographic into your own blog.

If you like what you've learned here, please don't hesitate to share this infographic with your own network! Influencer marketing is huge and growing. There are so many opportunities in this space to do amazingly creative things that have the potential of generating ROI that will dwarf that of other marketing channels. Just copy the code above and insert it into your own blog post. You'll need to insert it in the HTML view of your editor.

If you're more the social networking type...feel free to use the image on the right in your tweet or post! Visuals are always fun!

BST Hyde Park 2017 line-up – who are the headliners and support acts, are tickets still available?

Kings of Leon and The Killers are among an illustrious group of headline acts for the British Summertime Festival

THE BRITISH Summertime Festival has hosted some of the biggest names in music since its debut in 2013, from the Rolling Stones to Stevie Wonder and Taylor Swift.

This year’s festival, which is underway and running until July 9, is a corker with the likes of The Killers and Kings of Leon taking to the stage. Here’s all you need to know about 2017’s event…

When is the British Summertime Festival on?

This year’s festival promises two weekends of music with other events and activities, such as open-air movie nights and a street food market, scheduled in between.

The festival began on Friday, June 30 and runs until Sunday, July 9, 2017.

Which acts will be performing at British Summertime Festival 2017?

Phil Collins

Phil Collins headlined the opening show on Friday June 30, with a full supporting line-up, while American punk band Green Day headlined the Saturday July 1 show.

Former Genesis frontman Phil, 65, recently came out of retirement, selling out his comeback tour in just 15 minutes after announcing dates in the UK, France and Germany last June.

He said: “The reaction from the British public has been overwhelming. I can’t wait to play Hyde Park and see everyone there.”

Justin Bieber

Bieber fever was in the air on Sunday, July 2 when the Grammy Award-winning star took to the stage.

Justin Bieber will be returning to London next summer, following his Purpose Tour appearance at the O2 Arena this year.

After being embroiled in a miming scandal during his tour dates, the BST festival was a chance for the Canadian singer to win back the hearts of his British fans.

Green Day

The five-time Grammy-winning trio Green Day’s new album Revolution Radio topped the UK charts when it was released last month.

Ahead of their performance at BST on Saturday, July 1, frontman Billie Joel Armstrong said the following: “London in the summer, us and tens of thousands of fans having the biggest party in one of the world’s most legendary venues.

“We have the best year to look forward to and this has just made it extra special.”

Kings of Leon

Kings of Leon were the third big name act to announce that they would be headlining the summer festival on Thursday, July 6.

The Nashville quartet were supported by the Pixies, Nathaniel Rateliff and The Night Sweats.

Last month, the band played a secret gig in London and have recently gained top spot in the album charts, for the sixth consecutive time, with WALLS.

The band’s drummer, Nathan Followill, said: It’s always a pleasure to party with our amazing fans at Hyde Park.”

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers supported by Stevie Nicks

The legendary singer and his band will headline the event on Sunday July 9, their only European show of 2017.

The show will celebrate their 40th anniversary and will mark only their second UK visit in 18 years.

Petty and co will be joined by Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks and The Lumineers as support acts.

The Killers

The American quartet hailing from Las Vegas will take to the stage TONIGHT, Saturday July 8.

The gig will be their sole UK festival appearance this summer.

The band released their last album Battle Born four years ago, so fans will be hoping new music is released ahead of the concert.

Support acts on the day include Elbow and White Lies.

The Killers perform on Saturday July 8

Alice Cooper at the Roundhouse, NW1

Alice Cooper at the Roundhouse
Alice Cooper at the RoundhouseMarilyn Kingwill

Could there have been a more appropriate gig to find yourself at on Hallowe’en than Alice Cooper’s Theatre of Death show? The whole interior of the Roundhouse, even the stairways, had been decorated with cobwebs. Giant ghouls stood in the wings. The audience had been encouraged to come dressed for the part, and many looked like extras from the Thriller video. Upstairs, stilt walkers and burlesque queens with live snakes wrapped around them mingled with celebrities including Martin Kemp and Noel Fielding in full, undead-wizard regalia. On stage, the razor-eating Jim Rose and a gang of equally deranged sideshow freaks performed stunts of mind-boggling masochism.

Cooper’s entrance was the first of several theatrical coups. A familiar- sounding bell rang and the opening chords of School’s

Best of times, worst of times

William boyd

The novelist and screenplay writer, 55, recalls the excitement of getting his first big break in France, and expecting to become rich - until his French publisher ran off with all his earnings

My first book was a comedy, but my second book, An Ice-Cream War, was an historical novel, and bigger in scope, more ambitious, and took two years to write. It was very well received in England, and shortlisted for the Booker prize, but it was more successful in France, where it was called Comme Neige au Soleil. I was asked to go on a literary French television show. It had 5m viewers and was a phenomenal engine for selling books.

Normally my French is quite good, but I was extremely…
