title: Indian scientists develop super fast charging sodium ion battery

text:
Super-fast charging sodium-ion batteries are poised to redefine energy storage in India. Developed by researchers at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), these batteries charge up to 80% in just six minutes and last over 3,000 cycles, offering a sustainable and affordable alternative to Lithium-ion technology.
What Makes Sodium-Ion Batteries Unique?
Lithium-ion batteries dominate the energy storage sector but come with challenges such as high costs, limited availability, and geopolitical constraints. Sodium, which is abundant and cheap in India, could change this dynamic. Leveraging sodium for battery construction aligns with India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat mission, promoting self-reliance in energy storage.
New Innovations in Battery Design
Conventional sodium-ion batteries often struggle with slow charging and short lifespan, limiting their widespread adoption. However, the JNCASR team has revolutionized this technology. Led by Professor Premkumar Senguttuvan and PhD scholar Biplab Patra, they developed a NASICON-type cathode and engineered a special anode material, Na₁.₀V₀.₂₅Al₀.₂₅Nb₁.₅(PO₄)₃. This material underwent three major optimizations:
1. Shrinking particles to a nanoscale for faster ion movement.
2. Coating particles with carbon to improve safety and efficiency.
3. Adding aluminum to enhance anode performance.
Performance and Applications
These innovations enabled sodium-ion batteries to combine speedy charging with durability. Apart from charging up to 80% in minutes, the batteries endure over 3,000 charge cycles without significant wear and tear. Such features ensure wide usability, powering Electric Vehicles, solar grids, drones, and even rural homes.
Safety and Efficiency
Safety remains a vital consideration for these batteries. Testing methods like electrochemical cycling and quantum simulations have confirmed their reliability against overheating and fire hazards, common in traditional Lithium-ion systems. Importantly, they do not compromise on efficiency despite their fast-charging capabilities.
Scientists are optimistic that these advancements will pave the way for large-scale commercialization. With further refinement, sodium-ion batteries could emerge as a sustainable, cost-effective solution for India’s burgeoning energy needs.
This innovation marks a significant step in India’s journey toward sustainable energy solutions. Though not commercially available yet, the rapid charging and extended lifespan of these sodium-ion batteries hint at transformative possibilities for industries and households across the country.
With their high performance and affordability, sodium-ion batteries represent an exciting future for energy storage—not just for India but for global markets as well.

title: Ceva machine learning vision platform,32753

text:
Ceva announced its fifth generation vision platform, which includes the new Ceva-XM6 DSP chip, hardware accelerators, neural network software framework and a broad set of algorithms. The new platform will enable next-generation smartphones, autonomous cars, drones, and surveillance cameras to perform vision processing and machine learning operations two to eight times faster than the previous XM4-based platform.
Developers are using machine learning software more, so there is an increasing need for chips that can perform vision processing and machine learning tasks on devices in real-time. Internet connectivity may not make sense for all types of devices, and even when it does, the latency required to process the information on a company’s servers and return the data may be too long for practical applications. For some tasks or types of devices, it may be preferable to do all of the computation locally and in real-time. We should see this type of chip in more devices as vision processors get better.
Smartphone companies may be the most interested in adopting vision processors because they tend to use coprocessors alongside a CPU and a GPU. Mobile device makers are looking to differentiate themselves from others through their computational capabilities. A high-performance vision coprocessor may help them stand apart from all the others that may only use Qualcomm or MediaTek SoCs for computation.
The Ceva-XM6 DSP chip promises up to an 8x increase in performance for some hardware accelerated tasks, a 3x increase in performance for vector-based computer vision kernels and a 2x average performance gain across all kernels.
Ceva added the following technical improvements to provide the increased performance:
A new vector processing unit architecture ensuring above 95% MAC utilization, which the company claimed is unmatched in the industry.Enhanced Parallel Scatter-Gather Memory Load Mechanism, which further improves the performance of vision algorithms Sliding Window 2.0 - a mechanism that takes advantage of pixel overlap in image processing and helps to achieve higher utilization for a wider variety of neural networks Optional 32-way SIMD vector floating-point unit that includes FP16 support and major non-linear operations enhancements An enhanced 3D data processing scheme for accelerated CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks) performance A 50% improvement in control code performance versus the Ceva-XM4 A new scalar unit which further reduces code size, multi-core and system integration support
Ceva also said that its new vision platform has a significant power efficiency lead compared to GPUs when implementing neural networks. We’ve recently seen evidence from other vision processors and Google’s TPU that GPUs are not leading the way in terms of neural network processing efficiency.
Get Tom's Hardware's best news and in-depth reviews, straight to your inbox.
However, at least for now, GPUs are still the leading mainstream products that can fulfill the taxing performance requirements for fast neural network training. GPUs may not be the most efficient, but they tend to offer much higher performance in a single chip, and they are more readily available, which is why companies playing with machine learning still prefer them to the emerging alternatives.
Vision processors may still be better suited for low-power embedded devices, where efficiency, peak power consumption and price matter most.
Ilan Yona, vice president and general manager of the Vision Business Unit at CEVA, commented, “As computer vision and deep learning technologies become mainstream, there is a need to bridge the gap between the multi-layered and powerful deep neural networks that are being generated by power-consuming GPU engines and the ability to deploy these in power- and performance-constrained embedded applications. Our new vision platform excels in this regard, providing developers with the most comprehensive set of technologies to rapidly address these embedded use-cases.”
Ceva’s Vision Platform
Ceva’s vision platform functions Alongside the Ceva-XM6 DSP, and it includes function-specific hardware accelerators for Convolutional Neural Networks, along with image de-warp for all types of image transformations. Ceva’s software platform supports its recently unveiled CDNN2 neural network software framework, the Ceva-CV computer vision library, the OpenCV, OpenCL, and OpenVX APIs. It also supports a set of widely used algorithms.
Ceva optimized the CDNN2 software framework for both the Ceva-XM6 and CDNN accelerator. It supports 16-bit fixed-point precision, thus ensuring less than 1% degradation when running a network trained in a 32-bit floating-point environment. According to Ceva, this is critical for companies that want to transition neural networks from R&D (likely run on GPUs) to more cost- and power-efficient solutions, such as its own vision processor.
The Ceva-XM6 and its vision platform components will be available to lead customers in the fourth quarter of this year, and general licensing will come in the first quarter of 2017.

I have to inform you that there are & DSP cluster design that can scale much bigger (multi cluster designs) as for instance ones from Tensilica top offering, I don't know about CEVA ones.
To keep fair let's assume they did use old TX1 development kit for comparation & that one only had ability of doing it with 32 bit (single precision). So let's cut the results comparation in half geting 2x performance per 12.5 less power consumption this is still fascinating & it brings us to the conclusion how it's also much cheaper to manufacture as their is no magical stick to get the power consumption 12.5x down. More significant DSP's are available as licensable IP's wile most GPU's remain property non licensable IP's. As I see a current Tensilica offering as the better choice & I am certain they can scale up to 4x full blocks (clusters) me be even more they are faster than Ceva offering & also have 8 bit suport so that practically makes them on pair with biggest GPU chips available today (performance wise) wile they would probably cost 8 times less to make & commercialy available to who ever needs them with up to 40x less price (as Nv & Intel tend to change that much for their "special purpose accelerators"). When you take all this into consideration you see how the DSP's are really winning the race in the large margins. -
I don't see anything here that's so different from a GPU. I think they simply tuned the engines and on-chip memories for data access patterns common in neural networks.Reply
Therefore, I'm predicting future generations of mobile GPUs from Nvidia, AMD, and ARM will narrow or eliminate the performance & power efficiency gaps vs. dedicated deep learning processors.
It supports 16-bit fixed-point precision, thus ensuring less than 1% degradation when running a network trained in a 32-bit floating-point environment.
Also, I'm curious how they arrived at this figure. Does it really apply to layers of all types networks of all depths and architectures?

Dr. Richard Stefanacci, Chief Clinical Officer and Director
My reason for getting so very involved with TabSafe may seem obvious given my life long work as a geriatrician but my interest goes well beyond the care of older adults to include a very special group of kids. In 2006 my oldest son Richard who was just 13 was diagnosed with bone cancer. At the time my Beth and I had to manage his medication without assistance and as a result there were more than a few mornings when we would wake up wonder who gave Richard his meds or did we miss a dose. It was a constant battle – one that didn’t end well – Richard passed away before his 15th birthday. A few years later my sister’s daughter Blake just 8 at the time was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, at this point in time I had already become familiar with TabSafe and knew immediately that it would provide a great deal of comfort and support to my sister and her family as they dealt with Blake’s cancer. It was almost immediately after getting TabSafe that I received a phone call from the TabSafe device saying that Blake had missed a dose of her medicine – I was called because I was on the call list to be alerted when a med was missed. I called my sister to find them out at friend’s, Blake was feeling good so that took advantage of the fact and got out forgetting about her medicine. Thankfully Blake is doing fantastic. Since that time TabSafe has been a supporter of Go4theGoal Foundation – a foundation my family established soon after Richard’s diagnosis to help children affected by cancer.
Please take a moment to check out all the great work that the foundation is doing to help this special group of kids.

Selena Gomez’s Brand New ‘Rare’ Tattoo Got Us Thinking: Did You Know All These Celebs have Neck Tats?
Selena Gomez dropped her third solo studio album just last week. And she celebrated the years-in-the-making project by getting some new ink on Wednesday night. And we got thinking —did you know all these celebrities have neck tattoos too? Read on for more.
Selena Gomez celebrated the release of her long-awaited third album Rare by getting a new tattoo.
Taking to social media, the pop star revealed she’d inked the album’s title on her neck, just below her right ear. “Did it again…rare,” Gomez captioned a video of herself checking out the finished product in the mirror for the first time, also tagging famed New York City tattoo shop Bang Bang NYC.
The dainty tattoo—written in the same script as the album’s cover art—isn’t her first one.
Although the singer’s brand new tattoo is just the most recent of her extensive collection, it does seem to be the first ink to directly reference one of her three solo studio sets. Her latest album features Hot 100 chart topper “Lose You To Love Me” and “Look At Her Now,” Rare serves as a years-in-the-making follow-up to 2013’s Stars Dance and 2015’s Revival.
Stars are always looking for new ways to express themselves…
Sometimes artists choose to convey their sensibility with particularly challenging acting roles or with the next top 40 ballad and other times with body art. So, how well do you know these oft-hidden works of celebrity ink? Keep reading to test your knowledge of stars’ neck tattoos.
Eva Longoria’s regretful ‘nine’
The “Desperate Housewives” star got this tattoo in honor of her husband, basketball star Tony Parker, who’s jersey number is —you guessed it— No. 9. After their marriage collapsed in late 2010 amid allegations Tony cheated, Eva began the painful process of having this tattoo (and two others that paid homage to the basketball star) removed.
Victoria Beckham’s Hebrew tattoo
The former pop star has a quote from the Song of Solomon etched in Hebrew down the back of her neck and spine in honor of her sixth wedding anniversary —although, she famously wanted to get it removed in the early 2010s, we’re not too sure whether the ink is still there.
Jessica Alba’s little flower
The actress got this tiny design of a daisy and ladybug tattooed on the back of her neck years and years ago.
Vanessa Hudgens’ first tattoo
The “Spring Breakers” actress got the tattoo at New York City’s celeb-friendly tattoo parlor Bang Bang Tattoos in February 2011. “A butterfly landed on my mom’s stomach a week before I was born and that’s how I got my name, because Vanessa means butterfly —it’s a Latin derivative,” the “High School Musical” alum explained on “Late Show With David Letterman.”
The super star’s neck tat reads “rebelle fleur,” which actually translates to the equivalent of “flower rebellious” rather than the intended “rebellious flower” or “rebel flower.” In 2011, the singer launched her first fragrance for women, which she similarly named Reb’l Fleur.
Justin Bieber’s Patience and Angel Wing Neck Tattoos
The Canadian singer-songwriter has ‘Patience’ inked vertically in a Gothic style font along the right side of his neck. He also has a tattoo of two black and grey angel wings on the back of his neck.
Cara Delevingne’s Magical Yantra Tattoo
Cardi B’s Samuel and Sign Language Tattoos
The popular rapper has the American sign language gesture for “I Love You” and a small black star inked behind her right ear. She also had the name “Samuel” in red ink tattooed just below her neck —although that one has probably been removed by now.
Offset’s tribute to Cardi
Nothing says “I love you forever” like getting your girlfriend’s name tattooed on your neck. Migos rapper Offset apparently had “Cardi B” inked on his neck along with a cartoon image of Powerpuff Girls character Buttercup (a fave of Cardi B).

title: 624 trump agenda denaturalization task force

text:
USCIS Director Francis Cissna announced that USCIS planned to hire several attorneys and immigration officers to open an office in Los Angeles, California to review cases to identify people who may have lied on their citizenship application so that they may be denaturalized. “Denaturalization” is the legal process to revoke an individual’s citizenship. Director Cissna further stated that USCIS is looking for those who “should not have been naturalized in the first place,” such as individuals who had been deported previously and obtained citizenship using a different identity. The cases would then be sent to the Department of Justice for court proceedings for the removal of the individual’s citizenship.
The denaturalization task force is worrisome for those who might have made an error on their N-400 application. In a U.S. Supreme Court case decided in December 2017, Maslenjak vs. the United States, the Justice Department argued that they had the right to denaturalize a citizen if that person lied on the N-400 application. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. asked “Some time ago, outside the statute of limitations, I drove 60 miles an hour in a 55-mile-an-hour zone…If I answer that question no, 20 years after I was naturalized as a citizen, you can knock on my door and say, ‘Guess what, you’re not an American citizen after all’” to which the attorney for the government replied that any deliberate lie could be the basis for denaturalization. The government attorney essentially argued that all false statements, even immaterial ones, would be in violation of the law.
If you are in the process of filling out your N-400 form to start the naturalization process, it is always advisable to speak with a qualified attorney. An unintentional error or omission could
potentially create unanticipated and dire consequences in the future.

The Reading Eagle ran a story on bird flu, and I was featured in the accompanying sidebar article.
Some doubt wild birds a threat
By Dan Kelly
Not everyone agrees that avian influenza will be carried to Berks County on the wings of a migratory bird.
Experts at the Audubon Society and the Pennsylvania Game Commission said that man and not wild birds will be a more likely culprit.
"If bird flu ever does get to North America, it will probably arrive via illegal poutry sumggling from infected countries," said Rob Fergus of the Audubon Society's Philadelphia office. "There are very few birds that cross the Atlantic--possibly a few greater white-fronted geese from Greenland, and an odd gull or other bird here or there.
"Wild birds from the Old World do nest in Alaska, and they are being monitored for bird flu virus, but so far nothing has materialized."
In addition, Fergus said the bird flu is found more in waterfowl and pooutry flocks and not in most wild birds.
Fergus agreed that backyard poultry will be the first birds at risk of infection [note: not sure where this came from, maybe industrial poultry a more likely first infection possibility]. However, he said other infected domestic birds and not wild birds will be the disease carriers.
"Wild birds in turn will be most at risk of infection from mingling with backyard poultry stocks or from infected poultry waste that is disposed of as fertilizer in fields or discharged into waterways," Fergus said.
Dan Brauning, a wildlife diversity coordinator with the Pennsylvania Game Commission, said wild birds mainly migrate from north to south and not east to west.
"The way it has spread from Southeast Asia to Iran, Turkey and so on has been tied to the transporation of captive birds and not to wild bird migration," Brauning said.
He said he believes captive poultry and caged exotic pet birds imported sometimes illegally from lands where the bird flu already is present likely will be the source of infection in the U.S.
As far as wild bird migration carrying the flu here, Brauning siad only a small number of species travel between continents.
"Most of U.S. birds that migrate do so within the U.S." he said: "I think the oceans will protect us."
Funny to see how you are quoted, and though I might quibble with a thing here and there, that's what you get when you talk to the press. But the main message is here, wild bird migration is probably not the most likely way that H5N1 avian influenza will get to the United States.


title: Market real estate statistics for september 8002454

text:
A total of 493 properties sold in the Victoria Real Estate Board region this September, 20.2 per cent more than the 410 properties sold in September 2022 and a 9.4 per cent decrease from August 2023. Sales of condominiums were up 23 per cent from September 2022 with 155 units sold. Sales of single family homes increased 3.2 per cent from September 2022 with 228 sold.
“What we saw in our market last month was a continuation of the seasonal market trend we expect in a typical year as we move into fall,” said Victoria Real Estate Board Chair Graden Sol. “We have seen a slight return to a more balanced market in recent weeks. Our inventory right now features almost a thousand more listings for sale than we saw than at the start of this year.”
There were 2,699 active listings for sale on the Victoria Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® at the end of September 2023, an increase of 8.4 per cent compared to the previous month of August and a 17.3 per cent increase from the 2,300 active listings for sale at the end of September 2022.
“That increase in inventory means there are more properties for prospective buyers,” Sol notes. “More inventory also means buyers may have more time to shop, though in many of our local markets a well-priced property will sell rapidly, and we’re still seeing some multiple offer situations. The challenge of the day is that there are many buyers who hope to find homes in the missing middle – families who seek two- or three-bedroom homes at attainable price points – who are challenged by our current interest rate environment. Though housing prices have remained reasonably stable this year, the cost of carrying a mortgage has increased tremendously. This means that many first-time buyers and families are unable to purchase homes in our current market. With so many variables at play in each of the micro markets within Greater Victoria, it’s a good time to meet with your Realtor to discuss strategy if you are considering a move.”
The Multiple Listing Service® Home Price Index benchmark value for a single family home in the Victoria Core in September 2022 was $1,299,500. The benchmark value for the same home in September 2023 increased by 1 per cent to $1,312,200, which is down from August’s value of $1,323,900.

Does this project have anything to do with ``grid computing''?
No. The name ``Grid'' comes from the grid-like data structure used
for the GLS location service
protocol. The data structures look something like this:
Can I get the simulator code used in the GLS or capacity MobiCom papers?
Yes. See our simulations page.
I get an error when trying to compile and/or run your simulation code. What's wrong, and can you help me?
Maybe. Many people have problems configuring and compiling the ns simulator code. Common problems are not correctly setting up the otcl and tclcl distributions. Make sure you have read all the instructions on our simulations page and on the CMU ns page. If you are still stuck, email us and we might be able to help, depending on how busy we are.
I want to extend GLS by adding feature X. What code do I need to change in the simulator?
That depends on what you are trying to do. Unfortunately, since we are busy trying to do our own research projects, we most likely won't be able to help you figure out how to modify GLS to add your specific functionality.
How can I get the Grid protocol implementations (DSDV and geographic forwarding)?
See our software page
Can I use the Grid software for my own networking project?
Yes. All of our code is available as open source.
Can I use the Grid software to run my own community network?
Yes. We currently run our software on an indoor 802.11 network with 22 nodes. Most route are 1, 2, or 3 hops. We also run our software on an outdoor rooftop network in Cambridge, near our lab. We don't have an out-of-the-box set of software for that, but we are working on making it as simple to set up as possible. See our software page for more information about how to set up a network with our software.
What kind of radio hardware is needed to run the Grid software?
Most 802.11 cards (PCMCIA, ISA, or PCI) should work. Mostly it's a question of what devices your operating system supports. Some features of the Grid software might not work with all cards because they depend on modifications made to specific drivers. We use Cisco/Aironet 340 PCI cards on the indoor test-bed network, with the supplied 2 dBi rubber duck antennas. The 340 has a maximum output power of 30 milliwatts. The rooftop network uses the 350 model, which is very similar to the 340 (e.g. same drivers), but has a maximum output power of 100 milliwatts. The rooftop network uses a combination of high-gain omnidirectiona antennas (e.g. the 12 dBi AIR-ANT4121, or the 5.2 dBi AIR-ANT2506), and one directional (yagi) antenna for the link to the Internet (13.5 dBi AIR-ANT1949). Which antennas to use depends a lot on the details of your network setup. The Cisco antenna guide has lots of useful information.
Where can I find more information about your testbed networks?
See our testbed page and Roofnet page.
What if this FAQ doesn't answer my question?
If you have a general question about the Grid project that isn't answered here, email firstname.lastname@example.org. If you have a question about our protocol implementations, please email email@example.com

title: Blistered padron peppers pimientos de padron

text:
Padrón peppers (Pimientos de Padrón) hail from the namesake region in northwestern Spain. Eating them can be a bit like playing a game of Russian roulette: Most are mild and delicate in flavour, but around one in 10 have a powerful, spicy kick. Customarily, Padrón peppers can be fried, coated or stuffed, but they’re often flame cooked in olive oil and flaked sea salt until they blister, making them a perfect cast iron dish.
In recent years, padrón peppers have seen a huge surge in popularity across bars and restaurants in Europe. Thanks to their bite-sized shape, handy stem, and salty moreish flavour, they make a perfect bar snack, tapas plate, or easily shareable side. Spain-based Ooni Ambassador Alberto Zanrosso brought this recipe to life on a rooftop in Barcelona as part of a flame-cooked dinner party with friends. The peppers are best when cooked until tender, which requires a slower cook at a lower temperature. This makes it an ideal warm-up or warm-down recipe for your next gathering.
Serves 2 to 4 as a side or starter
Ooni Pizza Oven
Ooni Infrared Thermometer
Ooni Cast Iron Pan
500 grams Padròn peppers
25 grams extra-virgin olive oil
Large pinch (3.5 grams) Maldon or other flaked sea salt
Fire up your oven. Preheat the oven to 200°C, then add the skillet and preheat until the centre hits the same temperature.
In a bowl, toss the peppers with the olive oil and salt. Add to the hot pan and cook in the oven, giving the pan a shake every 2 minutes. Turn the pan 90° every 5 minutes for a rough total of 15 minutes. Cook until the peppers are tender and blistered. Serve immediately.

title: Will iran legis

text:
The state religion of Iran, as everyone I suppose knows, is Islam. In fact 98% of the nation’s 66 million people are Muslim. The problem this presents for people of any other faith, especially Christians, is a major human rights issue but few world leaders pay attention.
Satellite television is having some impact within Iran
and there is evidence of Christian conversions taking place. When this happens believers remain underground and are often directed to other believers where they can find encouragement and a Bible. But publicly these new Christians remain Muslims, going through the motions of prayers and practices that keep the government at a distance.
Leaving Islam has always invited serious consequences from the Iranian government. If a person is born into a Christian home it is acceptable to be a Christian. What is not acceptable is any attempt to convert others to the Christian faith. Since Christianity is inherently evangelistic this presents real challenges for believers. The government has recently introduced legislation that would mandate the death penalty for Muslim apostates. Joseph Griesboski, the president of the Institute on Religion and Public Policy, says, “Life for so-called apostates in Iran has never been easy, but it could become literally impossible if Iran passes this new draft penal code. For anyone who dares to question the regime’s religious ideology, there could soon be no room to argue—only death.”
The code being considered defines two kinds of apostates: (1) Fetri, an innate apostate, or one who has at least one Muslim parent, identifies as a Muslim after puberty, and later renounces Islam, and; (2) Melli, a parental apostate, who is a non-Muslim at birth but later embraces Islam, only to renounce it again. Punishment for the first category is death. In the second case three days are allowed to repent or then will come death.
In the past various laws were more ambiguous, which allowed some leeway for interpretation. These new laws close all such ambiguity and thus will bring about the death of hundreds, probably thousands, of Christians.
Parliament has slowed its process toward approving this legislation, primarily because of outside protests such as those of the Institute on Religion and Public Policy. It would be good if all Christians expressed themselves on behalf of the suffering people of God inside Iran.

For a mobile crushing station with a processing capacity of 180-300 tons/hour, its configuration may include a primary crushing station (such as a mobile jaw crusher) and a secondary crushing and screening station (such as a cone crusher) as well as equipment such as a belt conveyor. The specific configuration will be adjusted and optimized according to actual needs and material characteristics.
PE750x1060 jaw crusher is widely used in mining, building materials, infrastructure and other departments. It is mainly used as a coarse crusher and a medium crusher, and is suitable for processing ores and rocks of various hardness.
Cone crushers are suitable for medium and fine crushing of ores and rocks of various hardness, especially for processing high-hardness materials. The working principle of the HPC300 cone crusher is to drive the eccentric sleeve to rotate through the rotation of the motor, thereby causing the crushing wall of the cone crusher to perform a swivel motion. In this way, the material is crushed by squeezing, splitting and bending in the crushing chamber.
The combination of PE750x1060 jaw crusher and HPC300 cone crusher can form an efficient crushing production line. This combination gives full play to the advantages of strong coarse crushing ability of jaw crusher and good fine crushing effect of cone crusher, and is suitable for processing large and high-hardness ores and rocks.

title: 5 ways to get out of your mortgage in long island

text:
People will often buy a house only to have their needs change as the years go by. Paying a mortgage on an unwanted house can be incredibly stressful and frustrating. In this post, we offer 5 ways to get out of your mortgage in Long Island so you can move on with your life!
Paying an expensive mortgage month in and month out can take its toll. Especially if you have grown out of the house and are looking for something different. Below, we offer information to help you get out of your mortgage fast, without having to worry about excessive fees or penalties. If you have any questions about getting out of your mortgage in Long Island, we want to hear from you!
Sell It Fast
The easiest and most convenient way to get out of your mortgage in Long Island is to sell your house to a direct buyer. CoMax Properties buys houses directly from local homeowners and can close in only a matter of days. Selling your house fast in Long Island will save you a fortune on holding costs including continued utilities, property maintenance, taxes, homeowners insurance premiums, and more. A traditional listing can be effective, but the process can end up taking several months while costing you a lot of money. For those who are looking to sell right away, a direct sale to CoMax Properties will help to save time and money, giving you the peace of mind you need!
Hire An Agent
Many people choose to hire a Long Island real estate agent when it is time to sell their home. While an agent can be beneficial in some transactions, in others, the costs and fees aren’t worth it. If you do not mind paying agent commissions, making repairs, or waiting around for a buyer, hiring a Long Island real estate agent may be the best option for you. If you need to get out of your mortgage right away in Long Island, you may be better off with selling your house directly. An agent can end up being very expensive, working with our team will help you get out of the mortgage for your unwanted house in Long Island without any cost or hassle.
Rent It Out
While technically you will still be on the hook for the mortgage payment each month, you will be able to have your tenants pay it for you. Finding the right tenants can not only help to pay off your mortgage, but you may be able to collect passive income this way too. Keep in mind that not all properties make great rentals and not everyone is cut out to be a landlord. Even still, if you find the right property management company, you can find great tenants, rent out your property, and have someone else pay your mortgage for you.
You don’t necessarily have to give the property away, but you can give it so someone else and have them assume the mortgage. Maybe you have children or another family member who would be interested in having the house. You can either have them assume the mortgage if possible, or you can sell it to them for what you owe, ensuring your debt gets paid off, without any further penalties or fees. You will benefit by cutting your ties with the house, whereas your friend or family member will score a great deal by taking the property off of your hands. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved.
Rent To Own
Selling your house via rent to own works great for those who want to sell for market value and who don’t mind waiting a while before the home is sold outright and they have collected the full sale price. A rent to own agreement will open the door to numerous potential buyers, giving you better odds of a fast sale at a great price. While you won’t see the entirety of the sale price right away, you will be able to collect higher than average rent, a deposit, and guaranteed income for the next 1-2 years. Once the rental term is up, your tenant will have the option to buy the house outright. If they are unable to, the house will remain in your name, and you can either choose to sell it or rent it out to another individual.
Are you ready to get out of your mortgage in Long Island? Working with CoMax Properties will help you get the price you want for your house while saving you a fortune along the way. We can help you get out of your mortgage so you don’t have to feel stuck with your unwanted property any longer! If you need to sell your house fast, our team is here to support you!


title: Montessori 3 year cycle

text:
Many parents, upon researching the Montessori method, come across their first snag at the three-year cycle. Questions arise like, What is it? and Is three years in one classroom really necessary?
For many parents that last question hits home in kindergarten. It’s the year many children enrolled in Montessori preschools may switch to a non-Montessori public or private school setting.
Rest assured that the third year in the Montessori 3-year cycle is worth staying for as it plays an essential role in a student’s cognitive, social, and emotional development.
The Planes of Development & 3-year cycle
The reasoning behind why the kindergarten year (or any final year in the Montessori 3 year-cycle) is so important starts with the four planes of development.
The First Plane: Infancy (Ages 0–6)
This is a stage of physical independence where students ask “What?” as they absorb information and adapt to the world around them.
The Second Plane: Childhood (Ages 6–12)
Children focus on “Why?” and “How?” as they gain a sense of self and mental independence.
The Third Plane: Adolescence (Ages 12–18)
This is a time to ask “Who am I?” as students gain social independence.
The Fourth Plane: Maturity (Ages 18–24)
Now as young adults, students determine their place in the world as they gain a sense of moral independence.
During each plane, students first work through an intense developmental phase of introduction and rapid growth followed by a consolidation phase in which those skills are strengthened before moving onto the next plane.
In essence, each plane can be split into two, three-year subplanes which are the basis for the Montessori 3-year cycle.
The Montessori Three-Year Cycle
The Montessori three-year cycle affords children the opportunity to reach developmental goals in the same classroom of mixed-age groups, but at their own pace. While each student is unique in their own development, part of what drives that growth is due to the mix of ages.
The age groups for Montessori three-year cycles are:
- 0–3 years
- 3–6 years
- 6–9 years
- 9–12 years
- 12–15 years
- 15–18 years
Because many parents wonder about the efficacy of the kindergarten year, let’s analyze the three- to six-year cycle in which kindergarten is the final year.
Year One: Explorers
In their first year of the Montessori 3-year cycle, three-year-olds become explorers. They are exposed to new content and skills and are encouraged to explore their classroom environment independently.
Year Two: Experimenters
In year two, four-year-old students begin experimenting with the same skills they learned in their first year, but on a deeper and age-appropriate level. They also begin to incorporate group work over independent exploration.
Year Three: Experts
The final year is also considered a capstone or leadership year. These are five-year-olds who have the experience of two years in the same classroom. At this point, they should be confident in themselves and their skills. They are now classroom experts who can use their knowledge to help younger students.
The Importance of the Kindergarten Year
The third year in a three-year cycle corresponds with kindergarten, third, sixth, ninth, and twelfth grades.
However, it’s important to highlight the kindergarten year because it’s a time when many parents show interest in pulling their children after two years in a Montessori preschool and enrolling them in a public or private non-Montessori school setting.
But the third year is important because:
It’s Developmentally Appropriate
The activities created by Maria Montessori accurately reflect the emotional, social, and cognitive needs of students in a given plane. Skipping the third year, or enrolling a student in a non-Montessori setting, risks placing them in an environment where the skills and lessons don’t follow with best practices for their developmental needs.
It Helps Solidify Skills
The third-year gives kindergarteners a chance to continue developing the skills they have been learning. This allows them to work on higher-order thinking skills, move from concrete to abstract processes, and become a “teacher” to younger students.
Teaching a skill might seem simple from the outset, but it shows a student has a firm understanding and mastery of a given concept. The third-year is when students truly consolidate their learning and move onto the next plane with a solid foundation from the previous one.
It Builds Confidence
Finally, when students are allowed to complete their third year, continue in a known setting, and gain leadership experience, it builds their confidence and self-esteem.
They can leave the three-year cycle with a sense of accomplishment and purpose going forward to the next cycle.
Is the Third Year of a Three-Year Cycle Important?
Yes. Incredibly so.
It allows students an extra year working with developmentally appropriate content and gives them the opportunity to solidify their learning, become leaders in the classroom, and build confidence—all skills that are well worth the wait.

Pizza Crostini with Ricotta and Marinated Broccolini
It can be hard to find easy vegetarian appetizers that have as much texture, complexity and spice as their meat-forward counterparts, but our marinated broccolini and ricotta pizza crostini have all that and more.
Broccolini, broccoli’s slim-stemmed cousin, is excellent when softened just a bit on the stovetop. During cooking, it gets flavoured with garlic, shallots, red pepper flakes and herbs. The secret ingredient, though, is the Calabrian chile paste, which, as the name would suggest, comes from Calabria in southern Italy (the toe of the boot, if you will). Whole chiles — seeds and all — along with salt and oil make for a bright red paste that’s both fruity and decidedly spicy. Combined with the slightly bitter broccolini, it sings. A base of ricotta balances out the heat, and a chewy, blistered pizza crust serves as an excellent base.
We blind bake our pizza dough, docking it with a fork so it doesn’t expand, and then cut it into party-size squares. Depending on how substantial you’d like your bites to be, cut a 12-inch pizza into 12 or 16 squares. A dollop of ricotta, a heaping helping of broccolini and a drizzle of leftover marinade (that stuff is liquid gold!)make for a chewy, crunchy, and creamy veggie bite.
From wood-fired flavour to gas-powered consistency to electrified convenience, you can use Ooni's portable pizza ovens in the kitchen, backyard or beyond.

Liam and Miley, America's on-again off-again couple, is in the news again, and this time it's in 2017. They've come a long way! Miley Cyrus is set to perform at the 2017 VMAs this year and we can't freakin' wait. She's scheduled to perform her new single, "Younger Now," which should be a hit. The only thing better will be seeing her man show up to have her back. Unfortunately, nobody has spotted Liam Hemsworth at the 2017 VMAs. What up, man? Where you at? Where else could you be, other than at the VMAs, supporting your beautiful, future bride?
The celeb couple has been together for more than seven years, although they haven't always been the couple of the century. The pair confirmed their relationship way back in 2010 at the Academy Awards, and then shared their engagement news two years later in 2012 before taking a break in 2013. That's a lot of ups and downs, y'all. They surprisingly got back together in 2016, and the two seem better than ever. They've gone through a lot of turmoil, but that's what makes them great. Who doesn't love a good complicated romance story?
Miley Cyrus on the VMA red carpet is like Lady Gaga at the Superbowl: It should happen every single year. Everyone knows Cyrus will bring out her big guns for this performance because that's just what she does. Remember her VMA performance with Robin Thicke in 2013? I'm pretty sure everyone still talks about that today. Also, look at this amazing photo Cyrus posted on Aug. 27, 2017. It's just too good.
The only thing better than watching Miley grind on Robin Thicke, though, is seeing her man show up to have her back this year. But he's not there! Where are you, Liam?
The entire Cyrus family will probably be on the red carpet by 2018. Her younger sister, Noah Cyrus, is nominated for Best New Artist, and Miley is nominated for Best Pop Video. Sister power! Things seem great in Miley land. There's only one thing missing: her main squeeze.

The stone five-axis cutting machine represents a significant advancement in the field of stone processing technology. Unlike traditional cutting machines, which operate along three axes, this modern equipment introduces two additional axes, allowing for unprecedented precision and versatility in stone fabrication.
The five-axis cutting machine is equipped with a rotating cutting head and a movable worktable, enabling it to make intricate cuts at various angles. This multi-dimensional capability allows for the creation of complex geometric shapes and detailed designs that were previously difficult or impossible to achieve with conventional machines. Whether working with granite, marble, or other types of stone, this technology ensures high accuracy and a smooth finish.
One of the key advantages of the five-axis cutting machine is its ability to perform both straight and curved cuts in a single setup. This feature drastically reduces the need for multiple setups and manual interventions, thus improving efficiency and consistency in the production process. Additionally, the machine’s advanced control systems, often integrated with CAD/CAM software, allow for precise programming and automation, further enhancing the quality and speed of stone cutting.
The introduction of five-axis cutting machines has transformed the industry by enabling more creative and customized applications. Architects and designers now have greater freedom to experiment with complex designs, including bespoke countertops, intricate sculptures, and elaborate architectural elements. This flexibility not only meets the increasing demand for customized stone products but also opens up new opportunities for innovation in design.
Moreover, the machine’s enhanced cutting precision reduces material waste and minimizes the need for extensive finishing work. This contributes to cost savings and environmental sustainability by optimizing the use of raw materials.
In summary, the stone five-axis cutting machine stands at the forefront of modern stone processing technology. Its advanced capabilities streamline the production process, enhance design possibilities, and offer significant benefits in terms of precision, efficiency, and material conservation. As technology continues to evolve, the five-axis cutting machine will likely play a pivotal role in shaping the future of stone craftsmanship.

TechNet on the Road
This new-style TechNet event, featuring powerful product demos, will start by explaining the environment we'll be working in, and then use Windows Deployment Services to jump straight into a server deployment. The new server will form part of a server cluster. We'll generate workloads to run on the cluster, using Windows Server Virtualisation, with which we'll create a number of Virtual Machines - Domain Controller, DNS and DHCP VMs. We'll also create a Windows Server 2008 'Server Core' installation. Next we'll explore clustering further, specifically the failing over of workloads between nodes. We'll close with a session dedicated to managing this infrastructure, using tools such as System Centre Operations Manager (SCOM, formerly Microsoft Operations Manager, MOM), System Centre Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) and PowerShell, the fantastic new command-line shell and scripting language.

Vista After Hours
You may be familiar with Windows Vista at work - whether you have deployed it or are evaluating it - but have you ever thought about the possibilities of Vista outside work? This session, aimed at IT professionals, explores not only the built in elements of Vista (such as Search, Photo Gallery, Windows Movie Maker, and the Networking and Sharing Centre) but also how you can extend your Windows Vista Experience with Windows Media Centre, Xbox 360 and specific applications to open up a new world of gaming and home entertainment.

Welcome To Eye Tech Eye Clinic .
Indraprasth eye tech eye clinic has been in Noida since 2001 . It has been involved in patient care from more than 15 years in the field of ophthalmology and has been committed to providing expert medical and surgical eye care to all.
Best Eye Treatments
The eye functions much like a camera. Light rays enter the eye, passing through the cornea, the aqueous humor transparent fluid in the front of the eye and then the pupil and into the lens. The lens bends the light rays to focus objects onto the retina lining the back of the eye.
DIABETES & EYE
Diabetes can affect the eyes and vision in a number of ways. It may lead to frequent fluctuations in vision, cataract in young age, decreased vision due to involvement of optic nerve, temporary paralysis of the muscles controlling the movement of eyes and thus double vision.
People who have minus number glasses more than 6 diopter in power are said to have high or pathologic myopia. The glasses number of such patients may even be as high as 15 to 20 diopters. The eyeball in such cases is enlarged leading to thinned out coats of the eyeball so the central area may be very weak
LASIK involves putting the PRK treatment not on the surface of the cornea, but under a protective corneal flap. A very thin (about 0.16 mm) and precise flap is raised by a special instrument known as microkeratome. The result is a corneal flap attached at one edge, the hinge.
For people who are nearsighted, certain refractive surgery techniques will reduce the curvature of a cornea that is too steep so that the eye’s focusing power is lessened. Images that are focused in front of the retina, due to a longer eye or steep corneal curve, are pushed closer to or directly onto the retina following surgery.
Indraprasth eye tech-eye clinic is a well equipped clinic and doctors here actually work to the patient satisfaction. I would recommend clinic for treatment of eye diseases.
The doctors look at your case in depth and offer great advice. This is the only eye care center, i ever recommend. Way of treatment by doctors was very good. All staff behavior was so nice . Highly recommended for eye check up and treatment.

title: Transforming a kitchen with custom kitchen cabinets that extend upper cabinets to the ceiling

text:
At Cabinet RX, we take pride in helping homeowners bring their kitchen dreams to life through precision craftsmanship and high-quality materials. Leroy E. in Grimes wanted to transform his kitchen cabinets without doing a complete remodel. We talked with him about the different options and provided multiple quotes for those different options.
The Plan: Elevating Upper Cabinets to New Heights by Extending Cabinets to the Ceiling
Leroy wanted to enhance the look and functionality of his kitchen without undergoing a complete remodel. He decided to update his kitchen cabinets by replacing his old upper cabinets with new upper cabinets which extended to the ceiling, while also updating all his cabinet doors and drawer fronts, so that everything would match. We were thrilled to take on the challenge and design a solution that would achieve his vision while maintaining the integrity of his existing kitchen layout. Check out this video below to see what Leroy’s kitchen looked like before extending his custom kitchen cabinets to the ceiling.
The Custom Kitchen Cabinet Makeover Process
Our team at Cabinet RX carefully planned and executed the transformation with precision and attention to detail. Here’s how we brought Leroy’s dream kitchen to life:
- Prepping the Kitchen Cabinets: First, we took the old cabinets upper cabinets out. Then we installed the new cabinet frames and prepped the kitchen to spray the paint on the existing and new cabinet frames.
- Extending the Cabinets to the Ceiling: We modified the existing cabinetry to extend all the way to the ceiling, eliminating wasted dead space, providing additional storage, and giving the kitchen a polished, custom look.
- New Custom Shaker 45 Doors: To modernize the design, we crafted brand-new Shaker 45 doors, known for their timeless appeal and clean lines.
- Flat Crown Molding Addition: To complete the extension, we installed sleek flat crown molding at the top of the cabinets, adding a finishing touch.
- Fresh Paint in “Gray Screen” by Sherwin-Williams: We sprayed both the cabinet frames and new doors in Sherwin-Williams’ “Gray Screen,” a sophisticated and versatile neutral shade that brought a fresh, contemporary feel to the space.
- Upgraded Hardware: Finally, we installed new soft-close hinges on the doors and new handles for the doors and drawer fronts to complement the updated look, providing both aesthetic appeal and enhanced functionality.
Check out what the in-between stage of this project looked like.
The Results: A Stunning Kitchen Transformation
The final result was nothing short of spectacular. By building new custom kitchen cabinets which extend to the ceiling and incorporating custom Shaker 45 doors with flat crown molding, Leroy’s kitchen now boasts a sleek and cohesive design. The “Gray Screen” paint color added a touch of modern elegance, while the new handles tied everything together seamlessly.
The newly updated kitchen looks great. Check out the results below.

The activity involves developing and validating new technologies and services for urban and advanced air mobility applications, such as future urban air transport, the delivery of medicines, biomedical products and goods in remote areas, support for emergency management authorities and support services for the police in urban and extra-urban areas. The design and development activities will be concentrated at the Telespazio GLASS Lab laboratory and validated in the CIRA laboratories. At the same time, the field tests will run at the Aerospace Technology District - Grottaglie Airport Test Bed - DTA-GATB.
Exprivia continues its research activity, combining innovation and sustainability, developing solutions that improve the quality of life in urban areas.
In the AURORA project, Exprivia will create the EMS Experiment Monitoring Station subsystem, whose primary functions are:
- real-time mission monitoring
- debriefing sessions
In carrying out the primary functions, the EMS system will process the data from the Ground Control Station via MAVLINK Link, from the GNNS Flying Box and RFS (Radio Frequency System) systems in real time. It will also create an experiment cataloguing system for analysing results, make it possible to manage flight plans to verify experimental data with planned data, implement an authentication mechanism based on roles and profile profiles, and ensure high performance and levels of safety. Finally, the EMS will be equipped with a WEB-based application with modern and user-friendly functions, will present mission data on 2D/3D cartographic layers and will allow the operator to add further layers to better contextualise the testing operations. The experiment monitoring station will allow the operator to run a replay session by retrieving all stored data in a timed-controlled manner for the required period: multiple simultaneous debriefing sessions are possible to ensure multi-user analysis.
The Experiment Monitoring Station will constitute an essential asset for developing the Grottaglie Test Bed.

Ronin is an implementation of Oberon programming language on .NET platform. The immediate goal of this project is providing Windows developers with the standalone command line implementation of Oberon compiler that can be instantly downloaded and used. The present release is of beta quality and should be considered work in progress.
Oberon is a programming language created in 1986 by Professor Niklaus Wirth and his associates at ETH Zurich in Switzerland. Its most important features are block structure, modularity, separate compilation, static typing with strong type checking, and type extension with type-bound procedures.
Ronin compiler is implemented in C++. Its front-end is based on the ETH OP2 compiler. The relevant portions of OP2 source code originally written in Oberon have been ported to C++. The back-end generating .NET code has been written from scratch.
Ronin compiler generates the CIL (MSIL) assembly language code as the output. The ILASM assembler is required to generate portable executable (PE) files from MSIL.
Ronin compiler processes one Oberon module at a time producing a separate MSIL file for each module. This file can be converted using ILASM to a DLL if the module represents a part of a library or to an EXE is the module represents a main program of an application.
At present Ronin supports the original Oberon specification as well as object oriented extensions of Active Oberon. Furthermore, the scoping rules have been relaxed according to the Active Oberon rules. Implementation of the Active Oberon concurrency support is planned for the future.
The binary distribution of Ronin is available for downloading. For more information on the software, see:
Go is a new programming language developed at Google. According to the Go authors:
"Go is a general-purpose language designed with systems programming in mind. It is strongly typed and garbage-collected and has explicit support for concurrent programming. Programs are constructed from packages, whose properties allow efficient management of dependencies. The existing implementations use a traditional compile/link model to generate executable binaries."
Implementation is based on the modified code of gc
and tools, developed at Google. The principal modifications are:
. The executable file format is modelled after
that of Plan 9.
The present release is of beta quality and should be considered work in progress. Some language features are not yet supported and shall be implemented in the near future. More extensive testing is required too.
The binary distribution of Express Go is available for downloading. For more information on the software, see:
