Lunar Eclipse from Building 3, April 15

Most of you have already seen a million pictures of Tuesday's lunar eclipse.  But maybe  not a sequence taken from an Ambassadors East building 3 balcony.  My camera did not catch much of the red.  But some color can be seen when the later pictures are enlarged. Anyway, here are pictures taken by your insomniac T.A.N. editor.  Click or tap here.  Note:  the picture you see on the left came from Google Images.

NOTE: A special note to those of you accessing TAN from an iPad, iPhone or Andoid Touchscreen device.  If, when you tap on the moon link provided above, you are not getting the  moon pictures, it is because your device does not have the app required to read PDF files (Adobe Reader).  Most of the very important links on TAN take you to pdf files (Board Meeting Minutes and Agendas, Rules We Live By, and almost everything under "AE Essentials" in the left column of links).

The good news is that the apps for Adobe Reader are free and can be downloaded from the iTunes app store or the Google app store.  Here are a couple of links to help you out.

TAN Help - Scripting Disabled on Some Owner's Computer Browsers

NOTE FROM THE T.A.N. EDITOR - My access logs show that many owners have JavaScript disabled in their computer's browser.  JavaScript is a very powerful Internet tool used almost all web sites for special effects (slide shows, etc.).  Most modern browsers (Internet Explorer, Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox)  have scripting enabled as the default when they are installed.  If you are seeing a yellow box below with a message about JavaScript Disabled, then your browser has this feature turned off. If you do not see the yellow box, you may ignore this post.


If you see the message, instructions below will show you how to enable JavaScript on the iPad, iPhone and most of the common browsers.

Mobile Safari supports JavaScript. You can enable or disable JavaScript when browsing web pages with the following settings:

1. Navigate to Settings -> Safari
2. Turn JavaScript ON or OFF

I hope this helps.  You will get a lot more out of reading your T.A.N. newsletter.

New Feature Added to T.A. N.

The Ambassadors East News now has 50+ individual posts all organized by date and title with more being added several days a week.  To make it easier for you to locate a particular post published in the past, we've divided the posts into categories, each category having a title.  For example, there is a category called "Project Updates", another named "Monday Morning Humor" and another named "Holidays - Parties".  Currently, there are 7 categories in all.  To view all the posts in a particular category, refer to the panel in the blue left menu called "Select Posts by Category" and just click on the category name.  This will take you to a page showing all the posts for that category.  Hope this makes it easier to find articles that interest you.  

T.A.N. Format Help

T.A.N.  is an online newsletter presented as a blog.  Ambassadors East news and events are continually added to the site as they occur throughout the year, which means you may access it at your convenience on your own daily, weekly or monthly schedule to keep up to date. The most recent news (posts) will  be dated and appear at the top of the page. Old posts are never discarded.  These may be accessed by the month they were published by clicking on or tapping (for handheld devices) on the arrows by month in the left column with the heading View Past Articles. You may also view past articles by category by clicking on a category from the heading, Select Posts by Category, also found in the left column of the page. Below are some tips on how to easily access T.A.N. from your computer, laptop, iPad, iPhone or Android device whenever you want the latest AE news: 1. First access the T.A.N. home page by typing the following in the address line in your browser (top line in Windows Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Android Browsers).  You may also type the address in the Google or Bing search engines to locate the site. ambassadorseast.org 2. When you reach the T.A.N. home page, you can do one of two things:
	a. All of the browsers listed above have a feature called either "Bookmarks" or "Favorites".  These functions do the same thing, ie. they save the address of the current page you are on so that  the page can be easily accessed whenever you are on the Internet. While on the T.A.N. home page, add the page to your Bookmarks or Favorites.  (The saved addresses are listed under "Bookmarks" or "Favorites" on your browser's top menu.) b. The second method provides the easiest access to T.A.N.  This method places an icon for the T.A.N. homepage on your Computer Desktop or iPad, iPhone or Android device Home Screen.  Here's how do do this for the following browsers or operating systems:
		(1.)  When using Windows Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome or Safari browsers on a desktop or laptop computer.  Go to the T.A.N. homepage as described in step 1. You should see an "address line" at the very top of your page which shows the page you are on (in this case "www.ambassadorseast.org"). Just to the left of the name of the page you will see a small icon.  Using the left mouse button, drag this icon from the homepage directly to your desktop and let go.  The icon will remain on the desktop for instant access to T.A.N. (You  may have to resize the TAN window to make the desktop visable in order to drag the icon to it). SIMPLER WAY WITH WINDOWS EXPLORER: When you reach the TAN homepage as described in step 1, click on your RIGHT mouse button and select "Create Shortcut". Answer, "Yes" to the query that pops up and a link to TAN will be added to your desktop.
		(2.)   When using the Safari Browser on the iPad or iPhone.   Tap on the Safari icon on the iPad Home Screen.  Navigate to the T.A.N. homepage (www.ambassadorseast.org). When the  page is finished loading, tap on the Share icon on the top left of your screen next to the address line.  From the Share menu, tap on "Add to Home Screen". On the next pop-up tap on   "Add"  in the top right corner.  You will be taken back to the Home Screen and you will see the icon for T.A.N. added to the screen.
		(3.)   When using an Android Tablet or Galaxy Phone.  Adding a shortcut to your Home Screen using these devices is a bit more complicated.  In the browser you must first create a "Bookmark" for your T.A.N. home page.  Once that is established, you get out of the browser and return to the Home Screen.  There you select "Menu" and then "Add".  From the Add menu select "Shortcuts".  From "Shortcuts" you select "Bookmarks"   and then tap on the Bookmark you just created for the T.A.N. home page.  The shortcut to T.A.N. will appear on your Home Screen.
GOOD LUCK!
