This particular coin is a variation of the classical Maple Leaf design. It incorporates the philosophy of yin/yang, which in Chinese tradition is meant to symbolize opposing and yet complimentary forces within the universe. These privy maple coins have proven to be quite popular among coin collectors.
Coin Design Highlights
At first glance this coin appears to be standard silver Canadian Maple Leaf, but upon closer inspection one will see the yin/yang symbol on the bottom left side. The Royal Canadian Mint has limited mintages of this coin to no more than 50,000, meaning it isn't easy to find today and will become harder and more costly to procure in the future. It utilizes a finish which is reverse proof and the coin's obverse side depicts an image of Queen Elizabeth II and information regarding the coin's face value and year of issue. It is comprised of a single ounce of silver with an extraordinarily high purity of 99.99 percent.

The suspension
The precision sports car
Sporty performance or everyday suitability? Dynamic or comfortable? Such issues are academic in the case of the Audi R8. It is equally capable of race-standard agility and pleasurably relaxed driving for lengthy journeys. Thanks to its elaborate suspension technology, Audi's new masterpiece provides an astonishing level of comfort as well as being supremely sporty.
But the most important term for describing the driving feel in the Audi R8 is precision – that thrilling spontaneity with which this sports car instantly acts upon every movement of the steering wheel and every request for acceleration or braking. The R8 may be responding to the steering wheel, but it almost appears to be responding to the driver's thoughts.
The Audi R8 is ultimately an excellently executed mid-engine sports car. Even in theory, this concept has compelling advantages: unlike a car with its engine at the front or rear, in this case the engine is located very close to the car's vertical axis. The weight is concentrated around the centre of the car and the mass moment of inertia when it spontaneously changes direction is much lower.
Exceptionally high driving safety
This responsiveness lends the R8 a high degree of active safety: a car that steers and brakes well can drive away from hazards faster than an unresponsive car. On the Audi R8, this agility above all goes hand in hand with exceptional driving safety: together with the neutral self-steering behaviour and the wheelbase of 2.65 metres, which is long for a sports car, the excellent quattro drive provides particularly good directional stability.
And before the extremely high limits of handling can be exceeded, the painstakingly optimised ESP stabilisation system intervenes. It offers two levels of protection: the standard mode, which fully preserves both the agility of the R8 and its reserve safety, and the sport mode, which permits greater transverse dynamics for very sporty driving. And those who wish to push their R8 to the limit on a racetrack can switch off ESP, complete with its traction control feature.
Precision with a crafted character
This precision of course stems from a whole raft of skilful engineering solutions. An essential basis for a precise driving feel is a high-rigidity body structure that does not exhibit any tolerances or waywardness even under extreme loads. The Audi Space Frame of high-strength aluminium, with its cage-like structure, is virtually without par at providing this rigidity.
The body production shop in Neckarsulm supplies sheer precision as the basis: after the structure has been welded and riveted, all 52 connecting points for the running gear and steering are machined in a single pass. An automatic station mills, drills and cuts threads precise to one-tenth of a millimetre. This ensures that the suspension geometry planned by the engineers is realised with precision on every production car. An automatic measuring system in the production shop scans 220 measuring points on every body with its 95 laser sensors to verify this.
High-tech in every suspension mount
The basic suspension layout, with double wishbones at both the front and rear, reflects the concept used by almost every racing car right up to Formula 1 level. To reduce the unsprung weight, virtually all suspension components are made from forged aluminium. Particular attention has been devoted to the comprehensively new rubber-metal mounts that connect all axle components to the space frame. These mounts look simple, but are in actual fact individually coordinated high-tech elements. They transfer the transverse forces with precision, while filtering out undesirable vibrations.
A new double wishbone structure with an additional track rod is used at the rear. It permits a defined toe characteristic under load. This makes a huge contribution towards the ease with which this high-performance car can be controlled – along with the grip-optimised damper settings that avoid wheel load fluctuations. By separating longitudinal and transverse forces, it has moreover proved possible to combine sporty precision with very comfortable suspension and acoustic comfort.
Ride comfort, magnetically controlled
A particularly innovative damping technology is available for the R8 as an alternative to the standard gas-filled shock absorbers: Audi magnetic ride adapts the damping characteristic to the profile of the road and the driver's style within milliseconds. This consequently resolves the conflict between driving dynamics and comfort without countenancing any compromises.
The pistons of these shock absorbers do not contain conventional oil, but a magneto-rheological fluid – a synthetic hydrocarbon oil in which microscopically small magnetic particles are enclosed. When an electrical voltage is applied to a coil, a magnetic field is created, causing the alignment of the particles to change. They arrange themselves transversely to the direction of flow of the oil, thus inhibiting its flow through the piston channels. The damper becomes instantaneously firmer.
The advantage of this technology is that damper adjustment responds much faster to the commands from the electronic control unit than previous systems with an adjustable valve. The control unit is supplied by complex sensing technology and constantly monitors the optimum values for each wheel. If the driver for instance enters a bend, the damping force for the wheel on the outer arc of the bend is increased. This reduces body roll even further and the car responds with even greater spontaneity.
Depending on the driving situation – and personal preferences – the driver can choose between the standard and sport modes: heightened ride comfort for long distances and poor roads, or overt dynamism for taking every bend in the road with relish.
Steering with sensitivity
The steering, operating precisely and supplying sensitive feedback, provides the driver with direct feedback from the road surface. With a steering ratio of 17.3:1, the hydraulically assisted rack-and-pinion steering operates very directly. An important aspect of the R8's everyday suitability is the turning circle of 11.8 metres, which is small for a sports car.
This makes the R8 astonishingly manoeuvrable, even though the tyres inside its wheel arches are of mammoth proportions. In the basic specification, 18-inch cast aluminium wheels fitted with 235 mm tyres at the front and 285 mm tyres at the rear provide the necessary grip. 19-inch wheels are available as an option, in which case they are equipped with 295 mm tyres at the rear. The R8 is naturally suitable for driving all the year round, not least thanks to its quattro drive: both 18-inch and 19-inch winter wheels are available.
Braked by 24 pistons
The requirements that the brake system needs to meet on a sports car are very varied: it must ultimately withstand the extreme loads of a racetrack, but also handle stop-and-go driving in urban traffic with ease. Two fixed-caliper brakes painted black, each with eight pistons, are fitted to the front wheels to provide the necessary braking performance, complemented by four pistons on each wheel brake at the rear.
There are particularly elaborate studded composite brake discs with the impressive diameters of 380 mm at the front and 356 mm at the rear. They comprise the friction ring and an aluminium central element connecting the stainless steel studs. This arrangement means on the one hand that thermal expansion of the disc when subjected to high loads does not affect the central element. On the other hand, the use of aluminium cuts the weight of each disc by about two kilograms. And weight-watching is always a key issue for a sports car.
Ceramic brakes with extreme reserves
For even better performance coupled with a further reduction in weight and longer service life, there are the optional ceramic brakes. In this instance the discs are made from carbon fibre reinforced ceramic, a material that has repeatedly proven its worth in the aviation and aerospace sectors. The basis is very hard, frictionally resistant silicon carbide, with its diamond-like crystalline structure. Embedded in it are high-strength carbon fibres that absorb the stresses that occur in the material. The intricate geometry of cooling ducts in the ventilated discs prevents extremely high temperatures. The ceramic brake disc ring is bolted via ten sprung elements to a stainless steel central element that acts as the connection with the wheel's hub.
The ceramic brakes are identifiable at a glance by the anthracite-coloured special six-piston monobloc aluminium calipers and the fixed calipers at the rear. The advantages of the ceramic brakes include a further reduction in weight of around 20 kilograms, which in this case improves the handling characteristics and comfort response. The high abrasion resistance permits an operating life of up to 300,000 kilometres. Their trump card however is their insusceptibility to very high loads.
Even when in operation on the racetrack, for example, the ceramic brakes always maintain their full reserve performance. The ceramic brakes are expected to become available for the R8 from the end of 2007.
When it comes to reliability and durability, the R8 must of course satisfy the renowned high standards of the Audi brand as effectively as any other product. And more: they were put through the ultimate trial of several endurance runs covering more than 10,000 kilometres on the racetrack, with DTM drivers behind the wheel. The circuits driven included the North Loop of the Nürburg Ring, where every single kilometre represents a multiple of the loads encountered on ordinary roads.

I'm having an odd feeling this spring. The feeling is that I don't really need any new clothes. Gasp. Two years ago I was developing this business and blog and felt some pressure to step up my game, last year I was starved for new things after pregnancy, but this year, I think I'm good. Dresses, check. Lightweight tops, check. Jeans that fit, check. Three pairs of shorts - probably three too many since I rarely wear them. Feels nice.
As usual, when the sun comes out, I add some color to my customary neutrals. But don't worry, only in my jewelry - I mean, I'm still me.
Nothing new to see here - Zara necklace purchased last spring (here on ebay), COS top seen here, Twiggy from James Jeans and Sam Edelman boots. Plus some spring wind.
My old favorite striped trench from Ann Taylor LOFT (here's one on ebay!), old Old Navy flared jeans (yes, they're coming back, but skinnies aren't going anywhere), Forever 21 top, Franco Sarto boots. The necklace is from this etsy shop, and it's wooden beads on a knit cord, so it's pretty childproof.
How's your wardrobe looking for spring? What items are on your wish list? Leave in the comments and I'll blog about them!
Have a great spring weekend!

MOYOCK, N.C. – A man was injured Thursday afternoon after being attacked by four pet Capuchin monkeys that escaped their enclosure at a home in Wedgewood Lakes around 11:30 a.m. Currituck County Sheriff Susan Johnson said the victim drove himself to the hospital and will probably need stitches.
Police captured two of the monkeys. Two others were shot with tranquilizers, one of which died after the tranquilizer pierced his little heart.
The three monkeys are now in custody of Animal Control.
Here's a video of a Capuchin monkey in a diaper smacking around a pit bull.

Sprucing up your replacement windows and doors with some unique decorations can be a good way to kick off the season and get prepared for scarves, sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes. Improve your curb appeal this fall with these fun décor projects that are easy, fresh and on-trend: Project #1: Corn Husk Garland This DIY will add fantastic curb appeal to your home's windows or doors, depending on where you would like to put the garland. Wherever you end up putting it, all this project takes is a few straightforward steps: cut rope to your desired length (outlining your windows or door) with a few additional inches to get a droopy effect, and attach corn husks to the rope with a hot glue gun. Hang your new garland to accentuate your home access points! Project #2: Door Wreath Take the beautiful fall colors and transform them into a DIY wreath to hang on your door. You'll need a wooden stick wreath, burlap, artificial fall foliage, scissors and a glue gun. Here is the process: Cut the burlap into four 4x4-inch squares. Then, fold and glue the pieces of burlap throughout the wreath while gluing foliage by the burlap sections. Project #3: Welcome Sign Make your home look warm and inviting this fall with a blackboard "Welcome" or "Happy Fall" sign on your door. Remind passersby what the season is really about and draw focus toward your festive fall entryway. While adding fun DIY projects to the outside of your home is an easy way to get into the season spirit, remember to prepare your replacement doors and windows for the cooler weather, too. They might look fantastic, but if your doors and windows are aged or unprepared for the impending winter weather, they could let in cold drafts and leave you feeling pretty uncomfortable in the upcoming months. Call our experts at Pella Windows and Doors at (888) 841-5667 or visit our showroom in Denver for all your replacement windows and door needs, or for more fun DIY fall project ideas. Back to Blog

I'll always remember the first time I encountered sexual harassment in the workplace. I was 17, new to a small company where I was the only female employee. I was encouraged by my boss to be "one of the boys" and join in with the office banter which seemed to revolve around critiquing the tits of the models in lads magazines. I shared an office with Peter, who was in his late 30's and proudly displayed pictures of his wife and children next to his desk. Peter became really interested in finding out about my life and would quiz me on my breaks. Did I have a boyfriend? Had I had a lot of previous boyfriends? Where did I like to go out? Had I ever had plastic surgery? I felt uncomfortable with his questions, especially when I found out he was relaying my answers to the rest of the team when I wasn't around.
Peter kept finding ways to come over to my desk, usually under the pretence of borrowing some stationery. He liked to put his hands on my shoulders and slyly look down my top or he'd reach past me and brush his hand against my chest. I started wearing high necks and baggy clothes to deter him. I told him I didn't like having my personal space invaded but he didn't listen. I was friendly, smiley and chatty with anyone who came into the office but when we had client meetings I'd often hear one of the guys say, "Watch out for her, she's a maneater." I'd blush with embarrassment and tell them to shut up but it just seemed to encourage them.
One Friday night everything changed. I was in the tiny office kitchen washing dishes when I heard Peter come up behind me. He reached in front of me to put his cup in the sink and pressed up hard against me. Even with my limited sexual experience I was aware that he was pushing an erection into my hip while breathing heavily into my ear. I froze and tried to speak but no words came out. After what felt like hours but was likely a couple of minutes Peter calmly walked out of the kitchen and went home. I felt sick and angry. What gave him the right to violate me like that? I had to speak with my boss on Monday morning. This had to stop.
On Monday I got to work early and marched straight to my Managing Director's office, asking if I could speak to him about a serious matter. He seemed distracted but asked me to sit down. I was anxious, I had only been with the company a few months and was desperate to make a good impression. I relayed the incident on Friday and told him about some of the other comments that had made me uncomfortable. He listened calmly and didn't look shocked when I told him about what Peter had done in the kitchen. When I was finished he asked me if I was taking some "harmless banter" too seriously. Was I normally "this sensitive" to workplace ribbing? I was dumbfounded and assured him that this was not normal workplace behaviour. He told me he'd have a meeting with the rest of the office and speak to Peter when he arrived at work.
I never saw the team meeting take place, or the meeting with Peter. When I asked my MD he told me they'd both happened when I was at lunch. For a while things quietened down, I relaxed and enjoyed my work. The guys in the office hardly spoke to me and would often whisper and point in my direction but I was busy so didn't give it much notice. I had an appraisal coming up and was looking forward to getting feedback on my performance. When the day came I went into my MD's office nervous with no idea what to expect. What I got was a character assassination from him and another director. I was told that my work was unsatisfactory, there had been complaints from the rest of the team about my attitude, the standard of my appearance had gone downhill, clients had complained about my telephone manner, petty cash had gone missing from the office and the blame had been put firmly on me. I was gobsmacked, particularly as none of these issues had been mentioned before that day. I was told I no longer had a place within the company and they would have to let me go. It was two days before Christmas and I was unemployed and confused.
I knew nothing about employment law, the company had no human resources department, just a couple of directors who had accused me of theft. I knew in my heart what happened was wrong and was livid but was also relieved to be out of there. My number one priority was getting another job to pay the rent. I managed to get temporary work to get me back on my feet but the whole experience left me bruised and bitter.
I would love to say this was the only time I'd ever encountered harassment in the workplace but sadly it wasn't and I often ask myself what I've done to deserve it. Do I give off some signal that tells people it's ok to be inappropriate? I am often accused of being flirty by female colleagues but that's just the way I speak to people, male and female. I have a friendly, open nature and am a tactile person. I don't think that entitles me to some of the comments I have had over the years.
A few lowlights:
"Are you going to unleash the beasts at the Christmas party?" asks my boss, pointing to my breasts.
During a conversation with a female colleague about hand size my manager wanders over, looks and says to me, "Your hands are massive, my cock would get lost in them."
"How many drinks does it take to get you in the sack?"
Married colleague: "Do you have a boyfriend? I'm looking for some fun and you'd be perfect."
I have to double check the calendar to make sure it's the 21st century when some of the office "banter" makes me feel like I'm in an ancient Carry On film. And whilst the behaviour may not have changed my attitude towards it has, I know I have the law on my side and I'd rather piss off a few people by speaking out than leave myself open to the threat of a sexual assault.

Have you ever wondered why you need to feed your koi with special summer food?
In summer there are two special situations: Firstly the water temperature sometimes increases to critical ranges (30°C). This then results in a reduced oxygen level of the water. At 10 °C water temperature a koi needs 45 mg oxygen per kg fish weight and hour. With 20 °C the oxygen requirement doubles and during feeding it rises up to 500 mg oxygen per kg fish and hour!
That's why it is very important not only to have a good oxygen saturation in summer, but also the right food. JBL ProPond Summer offers your pond fish the perfect protein/fat ratio of 4:1 for water temperatures between 20 and 30 °C (in winter 2:1 is the right ratio), on a salmon, shrimps, corn and gammarus basis.
The fish is able to utilise the high-quality food better and this reduces the amount of excretion. The animals need less energy for the digestion of the premium food and you save more food per fish.


text: Clinton has increased her attacks on rival Obama's policies [EPA] Obama's aides accused the Clinton camp of "shameful, offensive fear-mongering", saying the photo is a smear attempt as it plays on some US voters' belief that he is a Muslim, when in fact he is a practicing Christian. 'Desperate' move Professor Abdallah Schleifer, a foreign policy specialist at the American University in Cairo, told Al Jazeera the photograph seemed to be a "desperate" attempt to tarnish Obama's image in the US. In focus In-depth coverage of the US presidential election"It's not simply a matter that it's a picture of Obama, dressed as - quote - a 'Somali elder' ... it includes a turban - he's wearing a turban," said Schleifer. "A turban is associated, number one, with Islam and most unfortunately - because of the propensity of Bin Laden [the al-Qaeda leader] and Ayman al-Zawahiri [his deputy], to wear turbans ever since the took refuge in Afghanistan and Pakistan, its a direct implication of early attempts to smear Obama that he's a Muslim." He went on to say: "Why is that a smear? Well ... You have to understand that in America there is a section of society for which terrorism and Muslims are associated together." A Clinton campaign volunteer was sacked last year after circulating an email that falsely suggested Obama was a Muslim. Photo 'divisive' Obama's foreign policy adviser, Susan Rice, said the circulation of the photograph was divisive and suggests "that the customs and cultures of other parts of the world are worthy of ridicule or condemnation". Howard Wolfson, a Clinton spokesman, said: "I just want to make it very clear that we were not aware of it, the campaign didn't sanction it and don't know anything about it." Your Views What impact will the US elections have on your country? Send us your viewsClinton aides have claimed the row is an attempt to distract voters ahead of the Texas and Ohio primaries on 4 March. Rivalry between Obama and Clinton in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination has become increasingly bitter in recent days, and foreign policy has become a focal point. In a speech in Washington on Monday, the former first lady criticised the Illinois senator's foreign policy experience, saying he had veered between pledging to meet leaders of nations such as Iran and Cuba as president to warning of US strikes on al-Qaeda targets in Pakistan. "He wavers from seeming to believe that mediation and meetings without preconditions can solve the world's intractable problems, to advocating rash, unilateral military action without co-operation from our allies in the most sensitive region of the world," Clinton said. Tougher message Clinton has lost the last 11 Democratic presidential nominating contests to Obama and many analysts have said that she needs to win the forthcoming Ohio and Texas polls on March 4 to retain a chance of winning the nomination. After a debate with Obama last Thursday in Texas in which she said she was honoured to share the stage with him, Clinton has toughened her message in the past few days. She criticised Obama on Monday, saying that the US needed a leader with more foreign policy experience. Americans took a chance on George Bush, the current president, and have been disappointed and should not take a chance again, she said. "We've seen the tragic result of having a president who had neither the experience nor the wisdom to manage our foreign policy and safeguard our national security. We can't let that happen again," she said. A Quinnipiac University poll published on Monday showed Clinton leading Obama in Ohio by 51 per cent to 40 per cent among probable Democratic voters. Two weeks ago, Clinton led by 55 per cent to 34 per cent, a sign that the momentum Obama has gained from 11 straight victories was paying dividends in the state. SOURCE: Agencies

We all know a well put together room when we see one – we might not know why it's so pleasing to the eye, but there's something about the movement, style and colors that draw us in.
In an effort to capture those little design elements that lie behind a well decorated room, I'm using today's post to highlight three {quick!} fixes to offer ever so subtle modern updates. Perhaps this could turn into a full article on dressing a room top to bottom, but today's purpose is get the mind whirling on what you might be able to fix this weekend, and not months in the future. So let's dive right in!
{Idea #1: Bring in Contrasting Colors}
Take a look around your room and note the color theme. Perhaps it's various shades of blue, tan or maybe red. To add an element of design that makes a pop, find an accessory in a contrasting color to add. If your living room is green, opt for fuchsia throw pillows, if it's red, consider a plum or yellow rug, lamp or blanket draped over the couch.
Weekend mission: Throw pillows are easy-peasy, take your new search to your local design store or hit up eBay for some excellent contrasting finds.
p{Idea #2: Reorganize Your Walls}
Well designed rooms incorporate well designed wall art. Pull all of your photos and paintings down from their current locations and reconsider your blank wall canvas. Now set up clusters of your favorite pictures at the base of your wall on the floor, and go about your daily business. Come back throughout the day and reorganize your photo/painting cluster until you finally have something that works well for your space and your photos. A simple rule that I like to follow is clustering in odd numbers and keeping larger photos towards the center. When your grouping looks appealing on the floor, mark out your new space with blank sheets of paper on the wall (one piece of paper represents one photo that is temporarily attached to your wall).
Weekend mission: Gather photos from all over the house and match frames that work well together for groupings (frames don't actually need to match – I love the gold, ivory, brown frame combos, for instance – but you'll know right away if one photo looks appropriate next to the other). If you don't have wall art that includes brilliant black & whites of your family or brightly colored framed photos from travels, now's the opportunity to hunt through drawers and order new, large prints from your favorite photo store – Costco photo, anyone?
Follow the jump to learn more about patterns & texture, and for the rest of the article!
p{Idea #3: Patterns & Texture}
An easy design trick is to add a texture or pattern (or both!) to bring visual depth and spontaneity to your room. Perhaps your curtains deserve a quick fix with a modern pattern or the rug could really be updated with something bold and bright. For texture, I love big, soft faux sheepskin or bear rugs (you can find them for a deal at Ikea) or fabric that incorporates textures like velvet, satin or even burlap. The right natural element can provide texture: consider a moss runner on your coffee table or large bleached Manzanita branches in a vase in the corner. Another easy texture solution is bamboo blinds. If you have time for a bigger project, determine whether there's one piece of furniture that could incorporate a quick makeover, such as a newly upholstered ottoman or chair (I guarantee it will become the it piece in the room!).
Weekend mission: Decide which element of your room could incorporate a pattern or texture – whether it's a piece of furniture or an accessory – and then how you can do a DIY overhaul. Branches are the easiest and finding a craft store or florist who has what you're looking for should be a cinch.

Room Inspiration Board #3, Patterns & Texture:

Room Inspiration Board #4:
Both images are from Apartment Therapy Home Tours
Room Inspiration Board #5:
The first image shown comes from Martha Stewart, the second from Cool Photo Ideas, the third image from Young House Love blog, and finally our last inspiring image from Country Living!
Because many of the images came from site home tours, I was not able to compile resources for specific interior design items. It's my hope that all of the pictures still serve their purpose as especially unique and inspiring though!

Using Xcode to Develop an App
To develop an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad app, you have to work within the context of an Xcode project. Xcode supports the following activities that are parts of developing your application:
Creating an Xcode project
Developing the application (designing the user interface using a storyboard, coding, and running and debugging the code)
Tuning application performance
Distributing the application
Create an Xcode project
To develop an iOS application, you start by creating an Xcode project. A project contains all the elements needed to create an application, including the source files, a graphical representation of the user interface, and build settings needed to build your application.
You work on your project in the Workspace window, which allows you to create all of these elements as well as build, run, debug, and submit your application to the App Store.
Develop the application
You have a lot to do to develop an application. You need to design the user experience and then implement what you came up with as a user interface. You need to write code to implement the features of the app. You also need to test and debug the app.
Designing the user interface using a storyboard
Xcode's Interface Builder is the editor you use to assemble your application's user interface with the help of preconfigured objects found in the Library. The objects include windows, controls (such as switches, text fields, and buttons), and the views you'll use, such as Image, Web, and Table views.
The Interface Builder editor allows you to add objects, configure their properties, and create connections not only between user interface objects, but also between user interface objects and your code.
When you use a storyboard, most if not all your screens end up being displayed in the storyboard, and Interface Builder saves your storyboard in a storyboard file (with the .storyboard extension). When you don't use a storyboard, each screen is saved separately as a nib file (with the .xib extension).
Either way, these files contain all the information iOS needs to reconstitute the user interface objects in your application at runtime.
Interface Builder saves you time and effort when it comes to creating your application's user interface. You don't have to code each object (thereby saving you a lot of work), and what's more, because Interface Builder is a visual editor, you get to see what your application's user interface will look like at runtime.
To code, you use the Source Code editor, which supports features such as code completion, syntax-aware indentation, and source code folding (to hide "code blocks" temporarily). You can get context-based help to assist you, and if you need information about a particular symbol, you can either get a summary of a symbol's documentation directly in the editor, or you can opt for more extensive documentation in the Organizer.
Xcode's Live Issues and Fix-it features work together to point out mistakes as you enter your code and offer to fix those mistakes for you.
Running and debugging
When you run your application to debug or test it, you can run it in the iOS Simulator on your Mac and then on an iOS-based device (if you're in the developer program). Using the simulator, you can make sure your application behaves the way you want. You can also get debugging information — as you run — in the Debug area.
By running your app on a device connected to your Mac (still using the debugger, if you like), you can observe the actual user experience and see how the app will perform.
Tuning application performance
The Instruments application enables you to analyze the performance of your application as it runs in the simulator or on a device. The Instruments application gathers data from your running application and presents that data in a graphical timeline.
Among other measurements, you can gather data about your application's memory usage, disk activity, network activity, and graphics performance. This data enables you to analyze your application's performance and identify performance and resource usage problems.
Distributing the application
Xcode provides various kinds of application distribution, including
Ad Hoc Distribution for testing on up to 100 iOS devices.
The App Store for distributing to hundreds of millions of iOS device users. You can give your apps away for free or let Apple sell them for you.
Custom B2B Apps for distributing business-to-business apps directly to your business customers who have a Volume Purchase Program account.
You create an archive of your application that contains debugging information, making it easier to track down bugs reported by testers (and users) of your application. When your application is ready to go, you submit it to the App Store.
(Before you submit your app to the store, you can even run some of the same software-validation procedures on your applications that Apple does. Passing these tests makes your application's approval process as fast as possible).

Cape Town will be abuzz with all the fashion frenzy taking place as designers from around the country will be showcasing their creations at the South African Menswear Week hosted at Cape Town's City Hall from February 8th – 11th.
South African Menswear Week is Africa's only stand-alone platform dedicated to the development and promotion of menswear within the African continent, and on the show schedule you will find 3 Durban Fashion Fair designers showcasing their creations amongst the best of the best on Friday, February 9th at 8pm.
Making the Durban Fashion Fair proud will be Mxolisi Luke Mkhize, Sandile Duke Mngadi and Athenkosi Mfungula.
Mxolisi reached the semi-finals and Top 9 in the first ever South African Menswear Competition at SA Fashion Week. He won Best Menswear Collection at the 2015 and 2017 Durban Fashion Fair. In 2016, his work was featured in GQ Magazine and made it to the top 6 Menswear Designers in South Africa in the GQ Scouting Menswear Competition.
For the 2018 SAMW, House of Saint Luke's collection is entitled "Outlands" and is influenced by the Namibian Desert/ the dunes / the ghost towns and Windhoek.
Apart from being inspired by the Namibian landscape and the symbolism of the desert, he takes into consideration functionality and comfortability with his predominantly earth tone heavy palette, which features metallic bedrock grey and burnt rouge.
Sandile Duke Mngadi, who is known for blending ready to wear street wear with cutting edge tailoring, is no stranger to the catwalk after officially launching his brand Duke "Clothe Your Soul" in 2012, of which he is the founder and chief designer.
Mngadi has participated in two prestigious internship programmes – and the DFF International Fashion Internship Programme in 2011; David Tlale's "The Intern" Programme in 2014.
Mngadi has showcased at MTN's Durban Fashion Week '08, East Meets West Fashion, Fashion By The Sea, Durban Fashion Fair, Vodacom Durban July, Cape Town J&B Met, David Tlale's KZN Fashion Extravaganza and Joburg Fashion Week 2011 and Joburg Fashion Week 2014. Duke "Clothe Your Soul" also participated in the South African Cultural Festival in London in September 2014 and was invited to showcase at the SA Fashion Week 2015 for Fall Winter '16 Collection.
His theme for the 2018 SAMW is inspired by the 70's. "Just like our brand, 70's fashion was all about individuality. There are no rules in the fashion game this season," Mngadi said. The collection features Bell-Bottoms, Flared-Bottoms and Skinny fit come to play in the same scene. Denim and Leopard Print PVC are the main materials used with an accent of cotton blends and knitted jersey materials. The inspiration behind the collection is a combination of the festival scene and futuristic design.
Wrapping up this dynamic fashion threesome is Athenkosi Mfungula, who was one of the three recipients to be awarded the 2017 Durban Fashion Fair rising stars award from the Mentorship Programme.
Mfungula's love for fashion began during his high school years when he spent a great deal of his time entering drawing competitions. He graduated from the School of Fashion Design in 2015 and went onto begin developing his own label, LeMFUX.
When asked about his style he says, "Everywhere I go I try to see the world in a fashion kind of way. My style is swag versus class. What I like to do is to combine the two into day/evening wear. The transformation is easy because this brings together formal and casual."
Mfungula's theme for the SAMW is military transition inspired by the types of movies he watches, with his collection being inspired by three factors – Liberty, Equality and Freedom.
He added in his opinion, that the Military look is transcending from the past to a now more modern look and that each of his story factors will have a different theme and colour pallet, with camo themes, bright colours – from Sleeveless shirts to elongated waistcoats and pleated cuffs and necklines, and for originality, gold trimmings and gold chains will be added. It is going to be a movie told in 12 looks. He stated proudly and that he was excited to be showcasing for the first time at the SAMW.
All three designers mutually agree, that they appreciate the opportunity that the eThekwini Municipality has given them to represent Durban and show South Africa that Durban designers have the creativity, skill and the know how to compete on a global level. Lastly, both Mfungula & Mngadi support Mkhize's comment about moving towards supporting our own designers and buying locally produced garments!
The annual Durban Fashion Fair (DFF) presented by the eThekwini Municipality has, over the past seven years, wowed designers – both locally and from the African continent – media, fashion buyers and the public, and has brought out the very best in Durban's existing and aspiring creatives.
The Business Support, Tourism and Markets Unit (BSTMU) that manages this programme on behalf of the City, is an initiative developed by the eThekwini Municipality to grow the fashion industry in Durban and to create employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for young designers and assist them with skills relating to the business of fashion!
The BSTMU programme manager, Sindi Shangase, has made the Durban Fashion Fair a much anticipated annual event on the eThekwini calendar, through her vision and hard work.
Shangase points out that fashion goes way beyond "glitz and glamour" and it is all about hard work, dedication and understanding "the Business of fashion". She added that the most satisfying thing of all has been welcoming junior designers back to the catwalk through the years to show collections as respected members of their professions.
Lending his support and ensuring that all three designers are ready for the upcoming SAMW is one of the DFF Programme mentor's and founder of G & D Apparel, Greg Wallis.
Wallis has a "passion for fashion" and over the years he has guided the designer interns on various topics from orientation and textile selection, provides valuable information on manufacturing, brand management, costing and entering the world of retail.
Wallis not only lends his support during the various mentorship programmes, he also makes himself accessible for past programme mentees as the "Proud Fashion Father", overlooking their respective progress and success within the industry!

Our posture is to be one of docility to the voice of the Magisterium, not to be blogospheric popinjays who glance at the teaching, declare it nonsense, and return to our comfy ideological holes. We are not, as Catholics, to play the game of Simon Peter Says, in which the Faith is reduced to nothing but a few dogmas, while all the rest of the Church's wisdom is to be reflexively spat out if it does not comport with our cramped tribal pieties. Only thus and not otherwise will our Catholic faith fulfill the truth Chesterton spoke when he said, 'The Catholic Church is the only thing that frees a man from the degrading slavery of being a child of his age.'

Subscribe To The Crazy Way Leonardo DiCaprio Fans Want Him To Get An Oscar Updates
I've already subscribed
Leonardo DiCaprio's lack of an Academy Award is pop culture fodder. Leo's constant process of giving outstanding performances, being nominated, and then going home empty handed has been the subject of tons of memes, gifs, and posts across social media platforms. Now, since he's been robbed so many times, it looks like some fans are going to extreme lengths to make sure that DiCaprio can have a golden statue of his own.
Vanity Fair is reporting that diehard Leonardo DiCaprio fans in Siberia, Russia are preparing for the worst in case he doesn't win an Academy Award for his performance in The Revenant. Apparently the female Leo fans are donating their valuable gold and silver jewelry and trinkets to be melted down and used to form Leo's very own special Oscar statue. That's right, these fans are destroying their valuables so that the already super successful Leonardo DiCaprio can finally have an oscar. That is some dedication.
This effort is called the "Oscar For Leo" campaign, and it will apparently cost around $1,300 in U.S. currency to create the golden statue. Many of Leo's Russian fans feel so connected to him through his work that they've taken extra measures to make sure the statue is still with them. For instance, some people donating one of their earrings and kept the other half of the pair. This way, part of the Oscar statue will stay with them. You can't make this stuff up.
To date, Leonardo DiCaprio has been nominated for five Academy Awards for his acting performances, including his leading role of Hugh Glass in The Revenant. While Leo is known for giving amazing and extreme performance during his career, something has always gotten in the way of his Oscar win.
This year has widely been known as the year of DiCaprio, because of the extreme style of filming that he subjected himself to during The Revenant. Principal photography took nearly a year, due to the insistence of using natural lighting. DiCaprio is also a famously method actor who took to the extreme weather conditions and scenarios during filming. He crawled up to dead animal carcasses, ate raw meat, and filmed in freezing water. Additionally, The Revenant itself was filmed chronologically, which added both time and money to the production as a whole.
Only time will tell if Leonardo DiCaprio will be able to take home an Oscar for The Revenant this year. Here's hoping he does, and his Siberian fans will get to keep their valuables.
For kicks and giggles, check out this compilation of DiCaprio's Oscar defeats. We can only assume this is what his nightmare are made of.

The 50th anniversary of the Vatican II decree on Ecumenism, Unitatis Redintegratio – the Restoration of Unity – was celebrated in an inspiring service at Northampton Cathedral during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, January 2015.
Bishop Peter Doyle had invited church leaders from across the four counties of the diocese and from Churches Together in England to take part in this unique event. The congregation that filled the cathedral were delighted to see the diversity of clergy gathered from a variety of traditions, seated in a semicircle around the altar.
Greek Ecumenical Patriarch Archbishop Gregorius read the Gospel and the Catholic Archbishop of Birmingham, Bernard Longley, was the preacher. In his homily, Archbishop Longley recalled that the promulgation of Unitatis Redintegratio 50 years ago was the first time that the Catholic Church had reflected theologically on the life and witness of other Churches and ecclesial communities, and begun to appreciate the work of the Holy Spirit in all who are called to form the Body of Christ in the world. "From then onwards our prayer and work for Christian unity was to be understood as integral to the life and mission of Catholics everywhere."
However, this decree was only the beginning of our ecumenical pilgrimage towards the goal of full visible unity of the Church. Despite discouragements and challenges it remains the goal of our dialogue and work together. "Through our baptism the Lord challenges each successive generation to contribute to the fulfilment of his prayer that they may all be one."
His final words were "Only by allowing ourselves to be transformed together can we hope to give a more credible witness to the Christ who sends us into the world and longs to walk beside us there."
Seated beside Bishop Peter was the Methodist District Chair Rev Anne Brown, who led the Bidding Prayers, Bishop Donald Allister of Peterborough Diocese, who read from the New Testament, and three more Anglican bishops, as well as Baptist, URC and Pentecostal leaders. Representatives of Churches Together in England were present and the recently appointed Catholic National Ecumenical Officer Canon John O'Toole read a prayer.
Moments of silent reflection during the service were powerful, and a symbolic action involved everyone being invited to dip their hand into a bowl of water as a sign of our shared baptism, while the Choir led the singing of a Taizé chant, There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism. The Choir itself was ecumenical, as Cathedral Director of Music Teresa Brown had gathered 50 singers from 23 different churches, representing five denominations. As the service drew to a close, they sang the Hallelujah Chorus – an uplifting and joyful response to all that had taken place.
Bishop Peter thanked his ecumenical guests and the congregation for joining him in this special service of prayer for Christian unity. After the resounding refrain of One Church, one Faith, one Lord, the joyful spirit of the evening continued in the cathedral as people chatted to fellow pilgrims on the journey. Hallelujah indeed!

...one of three who influenced Bill Clinton to trade his burgers for whole plants
During my quest to learn the truth about nutrition, I was always on the lookout for superb credentials and unquestioned authenticity. I found just that with Dr. Dean Ornish, T. Colin Campbell, Caldwell Esselstyn and others. So did Bill Clinton; and he quoted these three brave pioneers on CNN as collectively influencing him to adopt a near optimal, plant-based diet to reverse his heart disease.
Like the other four M.D.'s featured in our book, Dean Ornish has superb training; earning his M.D. at the Baylor College School of Medicine; and continuing his education at the Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts General Hospital. Also, like the other four M.D.'s, he learned about the power of plant-based nutrition long after medical school and used that knowledge to push the envelope with regards to the limitations of modern medicine.
Specifically, he was one of the first to document the findings of a formal study that proved that reversal of heart disease was entirely possible with diet and lifestyle changes alone. And, as such, his program has received widespread recognition. In August 2010, for the first time ever, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced that Medicare will pay for his intensive diet and exercise program for reducing cardiovascular event risk.
In The China Study, Dr. T. Colin Campbell (pictured here with me at Cornell) sums up the efforts of Doctors Ornish, Esselstyn and others before them: "Their dietary treatments not only relieve the symptoms of chest pain, but they also treat the cause of heart disease and can eliminate future coronary events. There are no surgical or chemical heart disease treatments, at the Cleveland Clinic or anywhere else, that can compare to these impressive results."
For more information about Dr. Ornish, his work, books and programs, visit the website of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute, which he founded. From the seaside village of Stonington, Connecticut – Be well and have a great day…

I had to give Savage Brothers a chance. I do share the same last name after all. The fact that they're redneck zombie hunters in a post apocalyptic world is just icing on the cake. I love zombies. That is to say, I've loved zombies since before the world was taken over by zombies. More than zombies though, I love the idea of surviving in a post apocalyptic environment. I've always fantasized about me and my loved ones being a group of only a few survivors left on the planet, driving around from state to state, scavenging for food and supplies. I have no idea why I harbor these fantasies, perhaps I just have real disdain for the human race. What I'm getting at here, if something is set in a post apocalyptic setting, it immediately has my attention. Throw some zombies in there, and I'm sitting at half-chub.
The Savage Brothers, as mentioned above, are two redneck brothers who've made the best of their bad situation and now hunt zombies as a profession. They don't really hunt zombies as one might think. It's not for ideological reasons. They aren't trying to rid the earth of zombies one at a time, or any such patriotism. No, they're actually just in it for the scratch. People hire the brothers to put loved ones out of their misery that had joined the ranks of the undead. It's actually a fairly entertaining story, and I'd love to see a motion picture adaptation of this series, as highly unlikely as that is.
Upon completion of their latest job, the brothers are confronted by some shady men in suits, to track down a doctor that is now a shambling corpse. To do so, though, means to enter the city of Atlanta, and the brothers take issue with that. The cash is ample though, and ultimately they decide to take the plunge. Upon locating their target, the brothers are greeted with a hail of gunfire. Their retreat leads them to their greatest fear about entering the city, as well as a virgin stripper in peril. Shall they ignore the situation and complete their mission? Or is a stripper that happens to be a virgin to rare of an occurrence not to investigate?
I'm really digging on this series so far, so it makes me sad to know that it only survived for three issues. The art is in that classic comic book style I remember from my childhood. It's not flashy or overly artistic, but it is a perfect representation of the universe that it's trying to create. The writing is engaging, and often times humorous, intentionally of course. You can really hear that classic country twang in your thoughts as you read. The characters are well illustrated, and brought to life very well by both the writing, as well as the way they're drawn. I'm almost a little bit apprehensive to continue on into the second and third books. I love what I'm seeing here, but I know it's not possible for them to give me everything I want in just three issues. Here's hoping though.
